《Boundless Necromancer》 Prologue Prologue Life is cruel. Those who are chosen will be able to achieve anything they want without much effort. While those who arent will struggle endlessly, no matter what they hope to achieve. This is the truth in the world of hunters. In a world where hunters must fight off monster outbreaks from gates, talent decides everything. Geniuses can learn all kinds of abilities and rank them up to be a superstar in a near instant. They be heroes admired by all. On the flip side, those without talent may never gain a skill and will not be able to increase their stats no matter what they do. It is an immutable, universalw. But At that moment, I decided to give up on everything, Tower of Trials has selected all suitable candidates from Earth. The seemingly sacrosanctw of the universe reformed itself Please select your difficulty. I, the failed aspiring hunter, was finally given an opportunity to prove myself. Chapter 1: Tower of Trials (1) Chapter 1: Tower of Trials (1) Let me get straight to the point. You dont have toe to the training center starting tomorrow. I stared vacantly at the manager before I could regain myposure. Why am I being kicked out? Han Sungyeun-nim, I think you know exactly why were kicking you out. Keeping you here is bing too much of a burden for our training center. Ive never missed a single payment and Im fulfilling all the prerequisites. Well, of course. Because youre preparing for the hunter exam. The problem is that its already been 7 years since youve started preparing. The manager narrowed his eyes and scoured my body. Even after 7 years of physical training, you werent able to learn a single skill or unlock your innate ability. You werent even able to raise a single stat point. His harsh response felt like a dagger in my heart. Like he said, I had achieved nothing in thest 7 years of training. I couldnt unlock a single skill, let alone even raise a stat point. Damn it. And this happened in a center for professional yer training. Everyone who awakens as a yer must train in one of these centers for a couple of months before they are able to debut as a hunter. But I couldnt get anything done in the years that Ive been training here. Realistically, it wasnt an exaggeration to say that I would never be able to be a hunter. I didnt have a hint of the fundamental qualifications that even the most basic hunters have. But I stayed calm and asked in a monotone voice Is that the reason Im being kicked out? To be a little more specific, you give us a bad name. A pretty infamous one at that. I could finally understand what the manager was trying to say. Youre worried about what people would think of a training center that couldnt get a trainee to debut after 7 years of training. The manager stayed quiet but nodded with a smirk. Yeah, I knew this would happen one day. God damn it. Lets be honest, youre nothing special. You have no aptitude for this. Do you think youll ever pass the hunter exam? Do you think something will change just from working hard? Thats not how things work. Youre wasting your time. His words filled with contempt pierced my soul. But I couldnt dispute his points or even throw a punch. After all, a slightly athletic average person stood no chance against a former hunter. As he said, it wasnt an exaggeration to call mepletely talentless. I didnt want to repress these feelings, but I had to. Why? Because Im weak and I have nothing. Id been enduring this for so long, but it seemed as though there was no need for that anymore. Yeah, it was time to end it. I was exhausted. Of course, were not just going to banish you withoutpensation. Well refund you about 50% of the fees that youve Why was he still talking? All he was doing was trying to convince me to leave. Yeah, I got it. Just give me my 50% refund. Goodbye. As his sentence finished, I walked past him toward the exit. ! I thought he wanted to say something, but he ended up not stopping me. Well, there was nothing left to say, and I wasnt the one who had something to lose by getting angry. Then Woah, hes been here since way before I was, but now hes getting kicked out like that. Starting with ament from an onlooker, I was bombarded with stares from all over the room. But he came in every morning to train non-stop Its too bad, huh? Fuck feeling bad. Hes an idiot for not knowing his ce and stopping sooner. You think so? I guess he is pretty stupid for not giving up. I didnt know he couldnt increase a single stat point after training for 7 years. Sympathy, scorn, and even ridicule I didnt know what I did so wrong to have them look down on me for all 7 years of my training. Whether I heard them or not. They always jeered at the fact that I was essentially powerless as a yer. And just like that, my 7 years of training became proof of my foolishness. But I guess thats that. Damn it. I muttered to myself as I stepped out of the center and stared into the sky. 7 years of non-stop training Sigh It ended in an absurdly simple way. *** I didnt always want to be a hunter. It happened during the Great Cmity, when my parents were eaten alive by the hoards of monsters from a dungeon break. And I wasnt alone in that experience. But even from those people, only a few select people were able to awaken as a yer. Even then, I prayed to God to awaken me as a yer. Is that why? I did awaken as a yer. Just awakened. The problem came afterward. No matter what I did, my stats wouldnt increase and my innate ability never unlocked. But I didnt lose hope and continued to train. Because skills are given to those who are ready I trained my heart out for 7 years after that. I didnt even hope to unlock my innate ability. I just wanted to be slightly more capable than an average person. My only hope was that one day, I would be able to avenge my parents. But the world didnt allow me such privilege. And here is where I ended up. I sat on a snow-covered bench in a park taking a sip from a can of beer. I guess I was stupid. 7 years Not even the others who lost their families to a dungeon break went this far. More urately, they werent able to. After about 2 years, most peoplee face-to-face with reality and give up. Either that or they realize their potential and climb up to the top. I wasnt able to do either of those. I didnt know nothing would change, even after 7 years. Heh. I couldnt help but smile at such an obvious result. At least I tried. No, I did more than just try. Most people face reality and find a different path for themselves. But not me. I didnt know what to do with my life anymore. But after 7 years of not giving up, I wasnt going to start now. Im not so weak that I would consider giving up on my life. Tap! I ced the empty beer can down on the bench and looked to the sky. Tomemorate the end of an era, I decided to ramble to my parents. I tried so hard. I wanted to avenge you and kill those monsters but Its just not going the way I want it to. Im so sorry. Im sorry that someone like me is your child. I felt slightly somber but not enough to cry. 7 years was enough to dull my sorrow. As the years went on, the intense pain was subdued, and now I waspletely numb to it. There was a time when I had to train all through the night because the pain and sadness kept me up. At age 27, I didnt even want to train anymore. Maybe it was obvious now that I knew I would never be a hunter. Thats one of the reasons I didnt put up a fight at the training center. Id rather end it quickly than hang on pathetically At least I was able to end it on my own terms before anyone else could force me to. After the end of my rambling, I leaned back on the bench and just stared at the drab sky. I decided to give up on being a hunter, but I couldnt help feeling a lingering attachment. If I had even a sliver of talent or even just an innate ability If If I had even a glimmer of hope, I wouldnt give up. My eyes slowly closed, as did my wishful thinking. *** Still dazed, I see something like a holographic message in front of my eyes. The Tower of Trials praises your unbreaking will. The first thing I saw in this dream was someones praise. Who is this? I had questions, but there wasnt any time to continue with that train of thought. Tower of Trials has selected all suitable candidates from Earth. Please select your difficulty. The chosen difficulty will be directly proportional to your rewards. Three choices appeared in front of me at the end of the message. Easy Medium Hard I didnt find anything out of ce even though I was looking at a holographic message. A strange feeling of being on a border of consciousness and unconsciousness. Rather than questioning the circumstance, I could only think to make a decision. To make a choice. A choice that I wouldnt regret if I reached my hand out. Enticed, I reached out as if there was no other choice. Then You have selected the difficulty Hard. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. Woosh! The message blew away like a tiny candlelight, and my consciousness grew clearer. I waspletely awake. Now entering Tower of Trials floor 1. ? Challengers should now prepare themselves for the iing trial. I only just realized that something strange was happening, but there was nothing I could do at this point. Entering Tower of Trials floor 1. My surroundings shifted from a park bench to a desert. The 1st-floor trial is starting now. The following trial is a special trial given as a tutorial. The objective of the following trial is survival. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. At this moment I knew Trial sess reward C Unlocking innate ability Trial fail penalty C Death Fuck. If my life had a turning point, this would be it. Chapter 2: Tower of Trials (2) Chapter 2: Tower of Trials (2) The Boundless Necromancer All stats, skills, and innate ability have been reset to initial values. The following challengers stats are already equal to the initial values. Halting the reset process. At first, I just stared nkly at the holographic message. But Starting the tutorial trial. A message about a tutorial trial came out of nowhere. As soon as I saw that message, I felt a wave of heat escape my body. Whats going on? What is this? Starting with the most basic questions about my current state of affairs. Tower of Trials? Is this the seconding of the Great Cmity? I even stipted what the current situation could be about. The influx of thoughts ricocheted around my throbbing head. But even that was temporary. Providing a weapon. ck. Following the message about a weapon, a sword fell before me. One with a sharpened edge, unlike the wooden ones I used to use at the training center. The knife spanned about 30 inches. What is? Theres no way a single can of beer could get me this drunk. Although its almost nonexistent, my alcohol tolerance was heightened when I awakened as a yer. But Theres no way thats making me dream like this. I quickly looked around and analyzed my surroundings. The ce I was standing was no longer a bench in a winter park, but rather a random desert. No, could you even call this a desert? The ce was covered in sand and an asional row of cacti. Although it seemed normal at first nce, the boundary where the sky met the horizon said otherwise. It was vast and spacious, but clearly synthetic. If this was a dungeon, I would have needed to pass through a gate, so that isnt a possibility. As I was about to fall into a state of confusion Sand golem is appearing. Kooom! What the! The sandy floors quaked, and pirs of sand rose from the ground. Then the pirs started toe together to form a humanoid shape. The towering golem must have been at least 20 feet tall. My heart stopped when the golemid its sand-dripping scarlet eyes upon me. At the same time, another holographic message appeared. Survive the sand golem. Time left C 9min 59sec Grrrr A trial telling me to survive. And all the unanswered questions in my head. Everything seemed to connect as soon as I came face to face with the sand golem. I couldnt feign ignorance even if I tried. Damn it! I quickly picked up the sword from the floor and ran as fast as I could. A battle? Impossible considering our size difference. Even a graze from a sand golem is enough to kill a grown man in an instant. A low-tier yer like me wouldnt fare much better. Thats reality. Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Kraaaaa! Every hair on my back stood on end as its roar vibrated through my body. I wanted to run faster but I couldnt. Stomp! Stomp! My feet got buried under a pile of sand every time I took a step forward. Fuck fuck FUCK! The desert was holding me captive. At the same time, the stomping sound was approaching faster than my legs could move. Even if I did manage to run, the only thing waiting for me was a wall that reached up to the sky. Id either be killed by being caught up to or by reaching the end of this field. There might not even be an escape from this ce. My only hope was the time limit that I could nce at from the corner of my eyes Time left C 9min 12sec Its not possible to keep running for 9 more minutes with my stamina. I may have stood a chance if I had slightly higher stats but I cant keep running until the timer runs out either! I should have known what they wanted as soon as they provided a sword. Die running or turn around and fight. I kept peeking back to the golem as I ran. Fuck, how am I supposed to beat that? But I didnt have another choice. Theres no way this sword would do anything to the golem. But I have to fight. If running away wasnt the answer, there had to be another breakthrough. I drew on all possible knowledge I had on sand golems. One thing I gained from thest 7 years of training is an abundance of theory matched by even the most experienced of hunters. There had to be at least one method that would apply to this situation. Monsters like golems stop moving when you break their cores. And low-tier monsters like sand golems dont even hide their cores within their bodies. They are evaluated to be E-rank monsters because they keep their core on the outeryer of their body. I could see a scarlet core bulging from its body. But I didnt have the confidence to be able to get that close to it. Even if I was able to get close, it was obvious what level of damage this sword would do to that core. No, I didnt know if this sword would be able to leave even a crack on it. Even so. I have to go! Looking back, it seemed that the golem was about 50ft away from me. Would I be able to run at the golem and dodge its attacks? No, I couldnt think like that. Contemting more wouldnt alleviate this situation. I have to dodge it! Whoosh! I ran toward the golem after I made my decision. 50 feet 40 feet 30 feet 20 feet The closer I got, the more strongly I could feel the physical difference between us. The gigantic E-rank beast made my heart shrink with a nce. I felt like throwing up, but I kept running. The only other monster I had ever faced was a small goblin in the hunter exam. I had no choice but to seed now. I kept my eyes on the golem as I approached the base of its foot. Voom! The rough sediment arm ripped through the air and elerated towards me. An attack strong enough to immediately rip me to shreds. I stared straight at it and jumped in its way. When the colossal arm reached the front of my face, I slid right below it and just barely managed to dodge it. Bang! Sand sted everywhere as it followed the thundering boom of the impact. Due to its massive size, there were huge dys between each of its moves. By the time I realized this, I was already running. My body knew even before my head. I had to thrust this sword into the golems core if I wanted to live. I nimbly approached the core as the golem still struggled to recover its stance from thest attack. ng~! The tip of the sword rang as it made contact with the golems core. Of course. A golems core wouldnt be broken with an impact like that. Crack! The core was left with a slight fracture Whoosh! Graaaaaaa~! And the golem was on its way to throw a second attack. When my eyes caught that, I threw my body with no time to react. Shaaaa! Then Whoosh! The follow-up blow just barely missed the top of my head. Pure luck. There was nothing else that could describe this. I didnt stop despite the sand scraping all of the skin off my leg. Please Please break this time! At the moment when the sword hit the core CRACK! Sand golems core has been destroyed. The system message blocked my view as the light in the golems scarlet eyes dimmed. As they dimmed, the golems body crumbled back into a pile of sand. Shwaa.! Time left C 7min 8sec Tutorial trial over. I copsed as soon as I saw the message. Gasp, gasp.! My legs burned as the sand crawled into my scraped skin and my hands couldnt stop shaking. My lungs felt like they were about to rip open and my leg continued to bleed. But for some reason, I felt a rush of adrenaline I had never felt before. The feeling of victory that I hadnt experienced in 7 years. I was only able to figure out what really happened after I caught my breath. I killed a sand golem? Me? Someone who couldnt even hope to kill an F rank monster Managed to kill an E-rank monster when his life was at risk. But I became depressed again after looking back at what had happened. I barely managed to survive. If this was a different E-rank monster, I would have died within 3 minutes. Sand golems are slow and have a clear weakness. If this was a slightly stronger yer, this would have been an easy tutorial. It didnt matter. I survived. That was reality. When I was finally about to feel a wave of relief Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 1. ? The message continued after the congrattions. As a reward, you have received Unlock innate ability. As a reward, you have received 1000 points. As a bonus reward, you have received the skill elerated Regeneration(E+) As a bonus reward, you have received 500 points. I finally remembered the message I saw when I first entered this field. It did say that Trial sess reward C Unlocking innate ability I wasnt able to process it properly at the time, but there was definitely a reward. And An innate ability It was something I couldnt even imagine unlocking over thest 7 years, let alone an additional reward of a skill. I couldnt even increase my stat after training for 7 years I was more dumbfounded now than when I first entered the tower. The next couple of messages seemed to confirm what had just happened. Innate ability unlocked. Innate ability Necromancy(F) has been imprinted on the yer. I won against a monster for the first time in my life and was able to see progress that had been halted for 7 years. There were feelings I couldnt even begin to describe with words, but that didntst long. Almost as if it didnt want to give me time to wonder Please move to the waiting area. Voom! A blue portal appeared where the body of the golem once stood. I guess I was supposed to go to the waiting room using that. That alone exined a lot. This is really a tutorial? Dungeons resolve after it has beenpleted but that didnt seem to be the case for the Tower of Trials. I couldnt deny my reality any longer. What I had just experienced was a tutorial. Preparation for whats toe in this tower. Meaning, I will need to go through trials like this again and again with no end in sight. I had no idea what to think of this, but that also didntst too long. Gasping for air, I got up with a groan. Damnit, it hurts like hell. There was not a single unscathed part on my body. I must have rolled in the sand too much trying to dodge the sand golem. Well, I shouldntin considering that I was still alive. As I was about to pass by the sand pile that used to be the golem What? What is this? A scene overwhelming enough to make me forget my pain for a moment. The pile of sand that used to be the golem emitted a ck fog. I was hesitant at this unreal phenomenon, but for some reason, I reached out my hand. Then Activating innate ability Necromancy(F) Would you like to absorb the spirit of the sand golem? Y/N ? Yet again, a message Id never seen before appeared in front of me. Chapter 3: Tower of Trials (3) Chapter 3: Tower of Trials (3) Activating innate ability Necromancy(F) Would you like to absorb the spirit of the sand golem? Y/N ? I was initially stumped by the series of messages, but I started to get the gist of it. An ability I never had but others used naturally, as if it was an extension of their body. The realization of my innate ability. I couldnt help but feel overwhelmed with emotion when I realized that my innate ability was unlocked after 7 years. Calm down Calm down I shouldnt lose myposure just because I unlocked the ability. Its too early for celebrations. I needed to stay level-headed. More than the excruciating pain all over my body, I was mentally exhausted. I just needed toprehend the basics and move on to the waiting area. So is this ck fog my innate ability? Swoosh swoosh. I tried waving my hands over it but nothing happened. Makes sense. If this really was from my innate ability, it wouldnt disappear with just a wave of a hand. I had to make sure then. Han Sungyeun Strength C 9 Stamina C 9 Agility C 8 Mana C 8 Innate ability C Necromancy(F) Skill C elerated Regeneration(E+) The status window that I hadnt opened in a while looked almost unrecognizable. A brand new section appeared to disy my innate ability. The skill list also disyed elerated Regeneration(E+) instead of being empty. Of course, the stats hadnt changed yet, but the most important part was unlocking the innate ability. I clicked on the ability to disy further details. Innate ability C Necromancy(F) Proficiency C 0% Basic effect C Able to absorb the souls of the dead and control them at will. Extra effect(1) C Able to permanently increase stats depending on the nature and rank of the soul. Extra effect(2) C Able to store souls forter use. Soul storage capacity depends on the abilitys rank. Holy shit! The reward I risked my life for had proved to be worth it. And the effect that mentioned a permanent increase in my stats I couldnt help but curse when I saw that. My stats were something that wouldnt go up no matter how much I trained. But I can finally increase my stats. This must be what it feels like to win a lottery. I moved on and clicked into elerated Regeneration. Skill C elerated Regeneration(E+) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Able to recover quickly from non-life-threatening injuries. My first skill ever was also not a regr skill. All regeneration-type skills were very rare. Skills that could heal mid-battle tended to have impossible acquisition conditions. I heard only hunters whod been in countless life-or-death battles could acquire it. But I got it in one fight. If this is the level of reward from the first floor, how much better is it going to get on the higher floors? And How dangerous is this going to get? I have no way of proving this but the tower probably isnt providing these skills out of the kindness of its heart. The only reason I got these to begin with was that I won my fight against the sand golem. The risk I carried for earning these skills was simple. Death. This was stated clearly from the very start in the holographic messages. My innate ability was the reward for passing this trial. The alternative was death. High risk, high reward. This was the system perpetrated by the Tower of Trials. The higher I get The riskier these trials would get. Damn it No matter how good the reward was, failing could result in instant death. And unlike a dungeon, you couldnt escape after clearing a floor. Pretty inhospitable for a host. It was a crazy risk that no sane person would take. I wanted to be a hunter because I was sick of being powerless and wanted to avenge my parents. But all that bes useless if I die. I didnt want to continue fighting carrying this risk. Because I also unlocked my innate ability, there was even less reason for me to carry on with this risk. I could be a hunter if I got back with this skill. But Ill only get to make that choice if I survive. That means Ill need to learn how to use all the resources Ive been given. I stood up and agreed to the message about absorbing the soul. You have absorbed the soul of the sand golem. Number of souls in possession C 1/5 Proficiency increased by 7% At the same time, the ck fog flew into my body. Shhhhhh! It was a strange sensation. I somehow know exactly how to use my innate ability. I knew that I could enhance my stats just by wishing for it at any time. This is probably how all the other hunters felt when they unlocked their innate abilities. I was just a little behind. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls in captivity. Strength increased by 3. Stamina increased by 2. Number of souls in possession C 0/5 A weight lifted from my shoulders and my entire body felt more energized. An unknown sense of enhancement overtook my body but No need to try it out now. I was still covered in injuries, so I didnt want to test it right away. Then I continued to the portal where the golem once used to stand. The moment I reached the portal. Moving to the waiting room. My surroundings changed again. *** Voom! The first thing I saw was a rectangr, stone room. You have entered the 2nd-floor waiting room. Healing all injuries and status ailments. The healing effect is constantly applied in the waiting room. The messages appeared in the air, and my injuries started disappearing. Its not even that surprising anymore. I guess I was starting to get used to this. When my pain fadedpletely, I checked up on my body. As the message said, all of my injuries were gone. It was almost as if my battle with the sand golem was nothing but a dream. No way it was though. Just one look at my clothes could show that it wasnt. As if the tower wanted to do the bare minimum, it left my clothes in tatters while healing me. I shook off the sand stuck to my clothes. I guess some sand got in my mouth because my throat felt scratchy. At least they heal your body after a trial ends. One less problem to worry about. When I calmed down enough, I started noticing more things in my surroundings. This is really spacious, but it feels so empty. Even if this was supposed to be a waiting area, the only word to describe this ce was deste. They did have a bed in the corner though. It doesnt even seem like a good one. I should be thankful that they even had a bed. Plop. My head filled with thoughts as I stared into the ceiling. What should I do now? Can I even escape from here? My future seemed bleak. Hm For what purpose was I called here? But I dont get it. All my questions were answered by I dont know. or nothing I can do about it. I didnt even know what was going to happen on this floor, let alone if I could return to Earth Anything was possible. While I wasying down and letting my thoughts wander All tutorial trials of every difficulty have beenpleted. Activating the Tower of Trials system. A row of text emerged as the message appeared. You are now able to use thesemands. Information, marketce,munity, inventory, trial. Commands will execute as you say them orally. The messages stopped after that. That finally broke my train of thought. Yeah, I have to get a hold of myself now. There wasnt anything I could change about my situation right now. I just needed to find out more about this tower and how I could keep on surviving. I pondered my next steps in bed when I finally opened my mouth. Trial. Floor 2 trial starting in C 23hrs 21min Trial cannot be selected at this time. Please wait. As I thought, the trials would continue. I moved on to test the more intuitivemands. Inventory. As the name suggested, it seemed like a storage unit. A game-like inventory window appeared where items could be stored. I cant store arge number of items but its pretty useful, I had no idea how it worked but it was another useful tool in my arsenal. Marketce. This was also an intuitivemand that triggered an Amazon-like website shopping window to appear. I couldnt sell anything, but it looked like I could buy something at any time. From small, useless items to weapons and even furniture. Thousands of items were being sold in the marketce tab. I didnt want to use the marketce before trying out the othermands, so I decided to move on. Only 2 more left. Information andmunity. Information. Something I needed the most right now. When I said themand an unexpected window came up. Please ask a question. The administrator will answer the submitted question. Currently avable questions C 1 It was just a window to submit questions to the administrator. An administrator. So even if this Tower of Trials is a natural phenomenon, it still has an administrator? I wasnt sure, but there was nothing I could do about that now. I was wondering what to ask when I saw the fine print. You are able to ask 1 question when entering a new floor. Questions can be umted. Hm, Ill hold off for now. Id have to be cautious with my question since I only have one. It said it could be umted, so there was no rush to ask one right now. I could decide after taking a look at themunity. You have entered themunity. Difficulty C Hard Floor 2 Community (3971/4321) I stared at the onught of messages and blinked. Community is like an actualmunicationwork? Most people were posting messages stemming from pure confusion. Chaos. The only word fit to describe what was happening. But there were still things to be learned from them. I wasnt the only one who got dragged in here. More than an insignificant portion of the people were also dragged in here without context. There were also some hunters. They were busy crying about the loss of their stats and skills. My hope that they would be able to save us quickly died. They wouldnt be able to help anyone being in the same boat. Wait a minute A lot of people mentioned not having their skills and stats anymore. I guess it didnt apply to me because my stats never changed. But to hunters, it was the end of their world. A couple of people imed that they werent even hunters when they got dragged here. It couldnt be a lie because dozens of people were iming the same thing. Maybe this really is the second Great Cmity. Otherwise, how would this all make sense? Not like I could do anything even if it was the seconding. There was a variety of information to be found from the chat. But that didntst long. Even after some time had passed, the chatting room was still in a state of chaos. Theres still a lot of people who dont understand whats going on. The chatting room is just filled with random messages about the Great Cmity and curses. Or it was just huntersining about the loss of their abilities. Although understandable, it was unrted to me. I had nothing to lose anyway. It helped me keep myposurepared to the others. Theres not much to gain from this anymore. As I was about to test the othermands Administrator has entered the chat. A huge notification arose on top of themunity tab. The stream of messages broke and the chatting stopped. Chatting is forbidden now. The administrator entering and the chat closing You never get a lot of time to react to an anomaly. Messages started to show up on the frozen chatroom. Chapter 4: The Second Trial (1) Chapter 4: The Second Trial (1) The information the administrator wanted to convey was simple. No mention of how to go back to Earth. Those who may have been disappointed by theck of that information may not have absorbed the information given just now. However I have to remember everything. Unfazed, I stared nkly at the following messages. Disappointment? Thats a luxury only those who have expectations could afford. I never expected this tower to let us go so easily. If they had any intention of letting us go, they would have offered return as a penalty instead of death. I fixed my gaze on themunity window and concentrated. Administrator has left the chat. Chat is now unlocked. All the people watching the chat started talking at once. I read the flood of messages as I gathered my thoughts. Like it or not, wed better get used to it. Its likely impossible to climb this tower in a short amount of time. Were probably going to be here for a while. Would it be possible to stay in the waiting area the whole time? Probably not. Points can only be earned in the trials. That means I wont be able to wait it out here. I can only go so far with the points I earned from the tutorial. After a quick look at the marketce, 1500 points was clearly not enough. Within the tower, you will not be allowed a single drop of water without points. The only solution was to go through the trials. I sighed as I stared at the sword Iid next to the bed. A well-sharpened longsword that I received from the tutorial. I dont know if that can get me through the second trial. If the second trial is anything like the first I could die. Even with the extra stats from the spirit I absorbed, I was barely an F-rank yer. My capabilities hadnt exceeded those of a normal humans yet. I needed something that I could use to protect myself. As a lowest-ranked yer, I had to rely on equipment. I dont think the sword will be enough. Id tried out different weapons in thest 7 years, so I knew how to handle most weapons. There was no real reason to choose a different weapon and throw away this sword. Jack of all trades, master of none. Myck of talent was no exception even when it came to weapons. Same with techniques that just used my body. A spear might be best for a beginner. But theres no reason to spend points to get one. At the very least, I needed something defensive to increase my chances of survival. Preferably something that could block or misdirect attacks. My body wasnt built to take multiple hits from monsters. Marketce. I pondered for an hour before making a decision. The basic sword was about 30 inches long. Not too short. I had some experience using a sword and a shield at the training center, so I decided to buy a shield. It may sound basic, but it was a goodbination that worked well together. Even experienced hunters used either a sword or spearbined with a shield. I browsed for a bit until I found one simr enough to the one I used before. The closer it is to the practice shield, the more Ill be used to it. Ill still practice just in case. You have bought a Crude Dwarf Shield(E). 700 points deducted. Remaining bnce C 800 A little expensive, but it was made of high-quality timber. People might think wooden shields are weak, but thats not always the case. Crude Dwarf Shield Grade: E One-handed shield crafted by a beginner dwarf. Surrounded by ayer of metal, it is stronger than it looks. The Great Cmity changed everything. Seemingly fragile shields like this were light and sturdy because of their high rank. It exceeded anything made before the cmity. This is worth at least $30,000 in real life My sense of money numbed a little. Its because I just got my hands on something that even officially registered hunters couldnt get. I guess it didnt matter because I couldnt even take it with me. Calmed down, I positioned myself in a stance with my new shield. My posture was pretty decent. I guess the training wasnt that worthless. The equipment also felt so much lighter now that my stats had increased. This was the best condition Id ever been in. It helped that I also bought a shield I was pretty used to. After testing it out, I put the sword and shield down to browse the marketce again. The admin said that everything had to be obtained using points. That means there were smaller items I also had to get. From the looks of it, the marketce had enough variety to have some of the things I was looking for. If I was a normal civilian, I would have had trouble in choosing what to buy. However Strength Potion Grade: F- A special potion that recovers a small amount of strength. Slightly relieves fatigue. Regeneration Potion Grade: F- A spraying potion that heals injuries. Limited only to light outer wounds. Decrepit Throwing Knife Grade: F- An old throwing knife with dulled edges. So old that it may be destroyed upon contact. All the items I wanted were in the store, so I didnt hesitate. I only bought items I needed in an emergency. Ones that could maximize my point use. Remaining bnce C 375 I had just enough points left to buy some food. This should be enough to keep me alive for a bit. The strength potion could get me through prolonged fights, and the regeneration potion could take care of emergencies. The throwing knife was for unexpected situations. As someone whod been looking at hunters for 7 years, this was probably my best bet. I think thats enough battle equipment for now Wondering what to do next, I quickly thought of an answer. There was still a lot of time left before the next trial so I should take this time to get used to the weapons. I still wasnt used to the sword, and the shield was a little different from what I was used to. If I couldnt get ustomed to them, it would cost me my life in a battle. Both my mind and body were in top shape from the healing effects. And even if I did tire out from training, the waiting area would quickly recover me. The obvious choice would be to warm my body up for the next trial. Floor 2 Community (3928/4321) Floor 2 trial starting in C 20hrs 53min I moved the Community and the starting time to the corner of my eyes. I had to keep my eyes on those windows even while I was training. There might be some useful information. After the admin left, the situation calmed down a little and themunity seemed to organize itself. But that thought quickly left after seeing the following messages. There wasnt much difference between the messages. Anxiousness, nervousness, and despair. None of the things they talked about even applied to me. I wasnt a hunter, nor a civilian. I guess myck of talent kind of helped me. Because I was no different from when I was outside of the tower. No, I grew within the tower. Maybe this was a blessing I received for suffering thest 7 years. Lets think positive thoughts. Realistically, the only thing I could do here is train. The ying field was even now that everything had been reset. But there was still a difference. Theyd be able to learn previously learned skills and build up proficiency much faster than I would be able to. If I want to catch up, I need to keep on training. My growth will directly impact my survival. Id have to train two or three times harder than everyone else. That way, Id at least be able to stand side by side with them. I have to move my body until it can react before my brain can tell it what we do. I was a different person from someone who wanted to give up just a few hours ago. Innate ability, skill, stats, etc Id gained so many things in thest couple of hours and lost my will to give up. If I can adapt, improvise, and ovee, Ill be able to be a hunter. My times of powerlessness are over. If I live, Id be able to get everything Id ever dreamt of. No, Id be able to gain more. The tower wasnt a ce for me to die a futile death. The trials would give me rewards and award me points. That could make me stronger and possibly show me the way out of this tower. My first goal was evident. Clear the 2nd trial. And if thats what the tower wanted, Id do it. Chapter 5: The Second Trial (2) Chapter 5: The Second Trial (2) Floor 2 trial starting in C 1hrs 47min Snap! Its already time. I stretched while looking at the Community. 20 hours had already passed while Id been rolling around the waiting area training. I learned a lot during that time. The cheapest food in the marketce, and how the waiting area works. I learned the most about the waiting area. You cannot feel most biological urges besides hunger in this area. I also learned that the healing in the area isnt omnipotent. You can barely call it healing. As an experiment, I cut my hand a while ago and the spilled blood went back into my wound before closing. Spilled blood going back to where it came from isnt normally healing. Its closer to restoration. However, it does not restore you to a point in time when you were not hungry anymore. That means its probably possible to starve to death. I also learned how to switch the healing on and off. There wasnt anything else particrly useful. I have yet to try them out because they cost points. Turning the healing on and off cost 100 points total. Seeing that I only have 373 points, I have to limit my spending. Although when I do gain enough points, Ill have to try them out. I finished my train of thought and bought a jerky. Chomp chomp. Its hard and tasteless. I toiled through the jerky that didnt even have salt on it. But at 10 points per piece, it was the most efficient use of your points. Anything cheaper could barely be consumed by humans. They said that you couldnt even chew through the ck bread, made from flour and sand, as well as other cheaper foods. It wasnt really edible. Just something to fill your stomach with. I wouldnt be able to survive on that. So the jerky was the best choice at the moment. Still chewing on it, I bought some water and first aid items. I had to be ready for anything. Points remaining C 40 I barely have any left. I wouldnt have had any left if I didnt get the bonus award. I could tell that was the case from looking at the Community. Only a small minority received the bonus award. Most people in the Community seem to be hearing about the bonus award for the first time. Does it depend on how well you did in the tutorial? Everyone who got a bonus award said they only received either points or a skill. But I got both? Hm Maybe there were special requirements to unlock the bonus rewards. Like if you killed the enemy when the goal of the trial was to survive. Maybe thats why I got two bonus rewards. That means I had to figure out what those requirements were in the uing trials. I needed to figure it out if I wanted any advantage over the other people climbing the tower. The difficulty I chose was also the highest of the three. If an E-rank monster appeared in the tutorial, the chances are, it was only going to get worse. Good thing I trained nonstop. I felt like the sword and shield were a part of my body. At this point, even a sand golem shouldnt be too much of a problem for me. I have a shield now too. Storing all the equipment into my inventory, I checked the time. Floor 2 trial starting in C 17min 17secs Quite a bit of time passed while I was training and looking through the marketce. The messages in the Community slowed down as well. The Community seemed grim as the timer counted down. I wasnt an exception. Will I be able to survive? Me? My hand shook and my heart beat fast at just the thought of the uing battle. If I didnt fight, the only thing left for me would be natural selection. At the end of that path, all that was left was a nameless, honorless death. Thats why everyone was fighting to survive. Floor 2 trial starting in C 10secs 10, 9, 8, 7 As the clock counted down, themunity waspletely silent. It was calm before the storm. And Floor 2 trial starting in C 0secs Time up. When the time ran out Trial. I immediately uttered themand. Do you ept the 2nd-floor trial? Y/N I selected Y without hesitation, and the same portal from yesterday appeared. I stepped in without thinking, and the portal enveloped my body. Because if I hesitated now, I might have never been able to take a step forward. Lets go. Entering Tower of Trials floor 2. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is assassination. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. A forest? A luscious green forest greeted me on the other side of the portal. The 2nd-floor trial is starting now. Remaining time C 3days Trial sess condition C Killing the orc chief before the timer runs out Trial fail condition C Challengers death or time out Trial sess reward C Assassins Cloak(D), Obsidian Dagger(E+) Trial fail penalty C Death Assassination. It seems that the 2nd floors trial is assassination. I have to assassinate a monster now? Id never done it and Id never thought about it. I mean, what kind of hunter assassinates a monster? They just walk up and kill them. No one ns an assassination Its probably happened once or twice but Doesnt seem verymon. This didnt bother me much though. It didnt change what I had to do. Whatever they want. Thats how this tower works. Then Opening the map of the 2nd floors trial. Indicating the orc tribes location on the map. Following the message, a map popped up in the corner of my eye. I thought the hard difficulty would be merciless. I guess the tower had a smidge of a conscience. After looking at the map, I understood why I needed a map. An obscure location in the middle of the woods. Without the map, it would have taken a week to find them. The tower didnt see locating the orcs as a part of the trial. That gets rid of the need to go explore the forest. This was already a huge positive. I had a couple of days worth of food and water in the inventory so I didnt have to worry about that either. I had some potions for emergencies and a bunch of things prepared. Lets go. I moved slowly with the sword and shield in my hands. *** About halfway to the marked location, Iid low and started crawling. I cant call this a hunters strategy, but its what I came up with after thinking for a while. The orcs might notice me if they had any scouts. If the trials were mimicking dungeons, that waspletely possible. It would be difficult to avoid the scouts unless you had a special item or a skill. Although a normal hunter would be sure to have one of those Since I had neither, this was my best bet. I should be cautious if I dont want to get caught. I kept low and crawled forward. Shiek, shieek. My body froze as the soundnded on my ears. The breathing of an E-rank beast, an orc. With slight hesitation, I continued to go forward. Farther up ahead, a scene opened up through the edge of the grass. A roughly sharpened wooden fence, and two monsters guarding it. Orc guards. The breath I heard earlier was probably also from a guard. Shieeek. Covered in leather armor, equipped with a greatsword, they looked tough. I want to keep observing them but. Since I finished my examination, I should retreat and strategize. If an orc guard discovers me, Id be forced to fight. And that decreases my chances of survival. I slowly distanced myself from their vige and stood up to inspect the nearby area. Now that I had found the orcs, I needed a ce to observe them without being caught. Mana dense enough to host monsters and this humidity It should be here Heavenly Mud Grade: F Mana-filled mud thats generated in mana dense areas. Rubbing it on your body prevents you from being discovered by smell and sight. The effect onlysts for 12 hours and has a terrible stench for the duration. found it. I guess this is here too. Id only ever heard about mud that was integrated with mana in dungeons. The tower was indeed pretty simr to dungeons. I can use some of my knowledge here too. Scooping mud from the nearby puddle, I covered myself in mud. The scent reminded me of a rotting piece of meat, but that didnt matter. I didnt know about other monsters, but this would be enough to get past the orcs. Monsters like goblins and orcs cant detect you past this mud. Now, what should I do Normally, if orc guards were dispatched in a dungeon, that means there would be hunters and workers. Guards, hunters, workers, and the chief. Orcs had clear and distinct roles. Orcs that know how to coordinate, at least an E-rank trial. Its not at a level that I can clear easily. I might not be able to beat it even if I risked my life. As long as the orc hunters were stationed, I would never be able to overpower them. You need an E-rank party to kill an orc hunter, so theres no way I can do it alone. Objectively, because I was physically weak, I had no chance of winning a direct confrontation. One thing that could work for me was my innate ability. But even that wouldnt activate unless I killed something. How can I kill the chief? At that moment, something crazy popped up in my head. No, there was one way. As long as I dont limit my target to just the chief There is a way. To kill all the orcs. Chapter 6: The Second Trial (3) Chapter 6: The Second Trial (3) Overpowering them wasnt an option for me. And although the goal of the trial was assassination, that was near impossible with the guards on duty. The heavenly mud wouldnt really change that fact. Finally, considering the ridiculously short time limit Cant be too picky. Broosh! A lit torch I made from putting together some dry wood from the floor. I stared at the dancing me nervously before I stored it in the inventory. I didnt know how the inventory worked, but the torch stayed lit while inside the inventory. But that didnt necessarily mean that the torch burned. Having this outside could make me some good money. Id have signed onto a guild and worked as a safeguard for important items or even a transporter. The tower was giving these kinds of skills for free. Lets focus on the current situation for now. I held my breath from anticipation. Just tossing this torch would set the whole forest on fire. This was the crazy method I thought of. If this was a location that the tower created, I didnt have to worry about the consequences of setting the forest aze. And even if this ce existed in real life, it wouldnt matter to me as long as I went back to the waiting area. Some might say this was irresponsible but I had no responsibility to care about this ce. My life took precedence over wherever this may be. I didnt even feel guilty. After I caused a fire, Id have to pick out the separated orcs one by one. Once I raised my stats using the orc souls, Id have a much better chance against the chief. I could have thought this n through more but It wouldnt have made a difference. Theres no other solution to this trial. Whats hesitation going to do for me? Although it was strange that the goal of the trial was assassination, the trial made it very hard to do so. The fence seemed very sturdy, and the pure number of orcs made it hard to sneak in no matter the time of day. I wont even be able to run away if I fail my assassination attempt. Thered be too much risk involved to try to sneak in. But causing a fire was different. All orc hunters go hunting early in the morning. Contrary to their looks, they were a hard-working species. And one characteristic of the orc species is that once they left, they didnte back to their tribe until sundown. Looking at the sun, it should be around noon right now. They should be far away enough from their vige now Id be able to fight them without their main source of strength. With a chunk of their military missing, my chances of picking them off increased drastically. It was just a stereotype that all orcs can fight. Even the same species of monsters have rankings. The worker orcs had been designated as workers because they werent fit to fight. And the guard orcs are the orcs who werent good enough to be a hunter orc. The number of guards in the front and the scale of the fence suggests there arent too many of them. Conservatively, there should be two or three guards and just one old orc as their chief. The Hunter Association released an official statement saying that the oldest orc bes the chief of the tribe, so that information should be urate. If I could cause amotion while most of their military might was away, I had a chance of being able to obliterate them. I just have to stay calm and decrease their numbers It would change the tide of the battle. That meant I had to kill at least two or three orcs while they were confused. Im not strong enough to fight them at the gate entrance. I need to raise my strength to at least 20. If I had enough strength to be able to go head to head with an orc, everything would go much more smoothly. There was a chance that the orcs could group together, but the chances of that were low. Typically, they would get some water if they think they can handle the fire. Then most orcs would head to the nearby river orke for some water. The busiest orcs would be the worker orcs. And I could take that time to kill them once they were far enough from the vige. If theres a risk of death no matter what I do, I have to choose the most sure-fire n. That hadnt changed from the tutorial. Rather than run around looking for an exit that may or may not exist, I chose to fight the sand golem with the given weapon. Because that was more certain. I was the only one who stood to lose anything from being hesitant. I had to kill before I was killed. I kept this in my mind as I took a step forward. Now was the time to act. *** After finishing my preparations, I started moving towards the mark on the map. There wasnt any time to waste. Iid low on the ground again while I crawled through the grass. I did cover myself in heavenly mud, but I can never be too careful. Id only ever learned about this in books, so it was my first time putting this into practice. One mistake could end up costing my life. Shieek shiek. After some time, I heard the orcs beyond the grass again. I kept my breath steady while slowly crawling. asionally observing the guards with my breath held. No matter how strong these sentry orcs were, there werent that many of them. They were just kept near the vige as a backup when the hunters were away. They probably think they can deal with invasions as long as a couple of them stay. This was also a characteristic of the orc species. ording to the Hunter Association, the guard orcs arent always on patrol. They go back to the vige for meals and lunch. They dont stay for too long but its still useful information. There are cases where the workers go on patrol instead due to ack of guards but thats not important to me. Worker orcs tended to be much weaker than the other types of orcs. If these guards ran to their water source, Id just have to take care of them secretly from the back. But before then, I had to go unnoticed and stay totally silent. After all, the mud only masked the scent and sight. This was the most important part of the n. Every bodily muscle stiffened up as I observed my surroundings. Just as my legs were about to fall asleep Shiek, shieek! One of the guards breathed out heavily as he waved to the other. Did they see me? I instinctively opened my inventory to prepare for a battle, but I realized that I was mistaken. Step, step. Looking exhausted, the guards yawned and stepped back into the wooden fence. This was what I was waiting for. I might not get another chance. I quietly got up and chose a location to set on fire. Tall grass and wooden fence, it was perfect for spreading fire. I took out the torch from the inventory. Brooosh! The fire spread itself to the grass as if it had a life of its own. I carried it over to the fence and the nearby trees to spread it further. Brooooshh.! The smoke filled the air in an instant. I tossed the torch on the other side to invoke another fire. I thought this might be too much fire to lead out just an orc or two but What could I do? Better bigger than smaller. I hid behind one of the unaffected trees and waited for their response. The workers should being out soon to take this out. This should be small enough for them to rush to stop it. The spread was fast, but it wasnt to a point where you couldnt stop it. After a short wait, Shiek? Shieeeek! I heard a panicked scream beyond the fence. Following that, an orc ran towards the fire in a rush. Is it a sentry? No. He wasnt armed. It was a worker orc. Sh-Shiek? Shiek, shieeeek! He looked in horror as the mes got bigger. Taken back, he stood there, confused as to what to do next. Then. I took my first steps towards it. There would never be a more perfect chance. Hes not even a guard who can effectively fight back. I didnt give it much thought and moved ording to my n. Running towards his back, I push off the ground and close the distance. Tat, tat, tat! Sh-shieek?! As the orc turned around in a panic Stab! Sh-Shiek, shiek, shieeeek. I shoved the sword I took out of my inventory into its stomach. There was no way he could have reacted to this. Without even being able to let out so much of a squeal, the orc stumbled backward, letting out voiceless screams. Some may sympathize with the monsters, but I was far from it. It was their fault that my life was ruined. Take that, you bastard. Rather than feeling guilt or excitement, my heartbeat slowed down. I pulled my sword out to thrust it straight through its heart. There was no hesitation. Sh..iek. The orc let out a weak breath before being enveloped by a ck fog. Yes, this was what I was waiting for. Activating innate ability Necromancy(F) Would you like to absorb the spirit of the orc? Y/N I ced the orcs corpse down so it wouldnt make a noise and pressed Y. You have absorbed the soul of the orc. Number of souls in possession C 1/5 Proficiency increased by 9% I exchanged the soul for stats as soon as I absorbed it. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls in captivity. Strength increased by 4. Agility increased by 2. Number of souls in possession C 0/5 I opened my status window as I felt a rush of adrenaline. Han Sungyeun Strength C 16 Stamina C 11 Agility C 11 Mana C 8 Innate ability C Necromancy(F) Skill C elerated Regeneration(E+) My strength is nearing 20 now. My stamina and agility also passed 10 and are on their way to 20 as well. I should be able to handle an orc in a direct battle now. But I didnt get long to give myself a pat on the back. Sh-shieeeeek! This time, it was a fully armed guard orc. But I wasnt scared likest time. Id have been unsure if there were 2 orcs, but he came alone. Feeling blessed, I muttered a word underneath my breath. Inventory. I took out my shield and stood face to face with the orc. Showtime. Chapter 7: The Second Trial (4) Chapter 7: The Second Trial (4) Surprisingly, it happened in an instant. My strengthened stats yed a role in taking him down, but it was mostly because he was in shock from the situation. But You have absorbed the soul of the orc. Number of souls in possession C 1/5 Proficiency increased by 7% Huff, huff. Although I caught him off guard, an orc was an orc. I just barely dodged all his attacks and managed to stick my sword into his neck. Activating Skill C elerated Regeneration. The small wounds I got during the process already started to close. Is this how elerated regeneration works? My energy was sapped from my body as the wounds disappeared. I didnt know until now but I finally understood the regenerations mechanisms. As the name suggests, the skill speeds up the healing process of small injuries by consuming my vitality. Of course, it wouldnt do much against life-threatening injuries. But Im healed enough to fight again already. I dont have to use any of my potions. At least, not yet. Id consider using them if I was in a pinchter. Still gasping, I converted the soul into extra stats. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls in captivity. Strength increased by 2. Agility increased by 3. Stamina increased by 4. Number of souls in possession C 0/5 Unlike the worker orcs soul, the guard orcs soul also increased my stamina. As a weight lifted off my body from the extra stamina, I noticed something. The rate at which my strength is increasing has decreased. But it was pretty easy to guess why this was happening. My stats were starting to reach heights where it wasnt possible to easily increase them. It was a pleasant surprise. That just meant I was surpassing the limits of a normal human. Huff, huff I panted as I looked around with the sword and shield in my hand. In the split second it took to kill those orcs, the fire spread to the entrance andpletely blocked it off. Good. That meant the hunter orcs wouldnt be able toe in through this entrance. Theyd have to take the long way around if they wanted to get here. Of course That applies to me as well. I realized that I was also in a position where I couldnt easily escape now. I got the 2 orc souls going for me though. I even killed a guard orc so this is going better than I nned. I was initially worried that the increased stats would feel foreign to my body but It felt strangely natural. Maybe its because my stats arent too high yet. Either way, it didnt feel bad at all. It would cost me the trial if I needed more time to get used to these new stats. Sheik! Sh-sheik! Sheeeeeik! Sh-sheik? Sheeeeeik! Sheeeeeik! A group of orcs poured out from the entrance. There was an old orc in the center of the group, as though he was being protected. Thats probably the chief. They seemed to recognize me as a threat as they were armed with a bow and arrow, stone swords, and spears. Well, it would be stranger if they didnt know with all themotion I caused. Thanks for grouping up for me. There were only about 5 enemies. And only one of the five had a battle-rted job. The worker orcs werent too dangerous even if they were holding a weapon. So Tatat! While the orcs were still taking in the situation, I ran in to seize the opportunity. With my current stats I had a feeling I could get through this battle. Sh-sheeeeeeik! One of the orcs aimed its arrow at me. Whoosh! It was fast. Looking at the speed and uracy of the arrow, the orc seemed to have some experience with the bow. It wasnt something I could dodge at my current stats, but my shield wasnt just for show. Ting! Sh-sheeeeik? I raised the shield and easily bounced off the arrow. The bow-wielding orc was clearly flustered, but I wasnt. I swiftly shed my de at the bow-wielding orcs neck and sliced through. Sheeeeeeeeik! Sheeeeik! The nearby orcs pointed their swords and spears at me to no avail. It was honest, predictable, and sloppy. Their only target was my heart. I took a step back and held my shield up to my chest. Worker orcs tended to have little to no battle experience and only relied on their natural strength. Tang! On the flip side, although Ive only just started getting stronger, Ive been studying battle techniques for thest 7 years. So it wasnt too hard to block their attacks. Sheeeik! The orcs seemed surprised that their attacks were blocked. This is what happened to most people whock fighting experience. Same with orcs. Sket! I swung my sword as their spears and swords bounced off my shield. Unable to react due to the recoil, a vertical red line formed on the orcs stomach. Puaaak! Its stomach split and vomited out the inner organs. Even this didnt invoke any emotion in me. More urately, I didnt have time to feel anything yet. Although I took care of the spear orc, the sword orc was still standing tall. Feeling something was a luxury I couldnt afford in battle. All I have to do is stay calm. I took a step back to regain my breath. After wiping the sttered blood from my cheeks, I rushed towards the rest of the orcs. Feigning retreat then rushing back in. The inexperienced worker orc couldnt even react to this. The guard orc realized this and finally gave up on hovering the chief but It was already toote. Shing! When I sliced open thest worker orcs throat, the guard orc let out an anger-filled roar. Shieeeeeeeeek! It was as if its murderous gaze was saying: I will slice you in two. He mmed down his greatsword, fully intending to cut right through the shield. My instincts told me that my E-rank shield wouldntst this blow. And even if it did, it would break the left wrist that was holding the shield. Would I be able to fight without my left hand? No, I wouldnt stand a chance. If I couldnt block it, Id have to redirect it. I tilted my shield to have the de of the greatsword slide off. In the past, I wouldnt have been able to pull this off, but it was different now. Skkkkkkkt! Shi-shieeek? As the weight of the sword pulled the orc down to the ground, I stabbed mine into its abdomen. Pshh! The blood stained the pierced leather armor as I pulled the sword out to take another swing. Shuaat! He clutched his stomach as he took a step back. Sh.ieeek. His knees met the ground as his stuttering cries died out. Boom. He fell face down on the ground and I stabbed my sword into his head again. I couldnt let my guard down just yet. The guard orcs muscles finally rxed as the lifeless bodyid on the floor. Now the orc chief was all that was left. Then Sh-shieeek! S-sheeik! The terrified chief held onto his staff and continued to mutter under his breath. When the rambling stoppedC Boosh! A giant fireball appeared in front of the chief. It was only then that I realized what the chief orc was doing. I was wondering why the guard stayed put till the end They were just protecting the chief until he had enough time to finish his incantation. The worker orcs were only there to keep me upied. Of course, they only did so because they didnt expect me to kill any of them. I knew that the most experienced hunter orc became the chief but, I didnt expect this to be the case. Why would an orc be a mage! That didnt change what I had to do though. Broosh! I crouched my entire body and hid behind my shield as the ball of fire hurled towards me. This wasnt very effective. Boooom! With the impact on the shield, my vision went red. Ahhhhh! Every inch of my skin broiled as the scent of burning flesh filled the air. Even thenC Argggggg.! I stayed put with every ounce of my mental strength. I didnt realize how painful it was to be burned alive. It was to the point where Id rather rip the burning skin off myself. In agonizing pain, I slowly stepped forward. It was the only thing I could do at this time. Endurer of fire achievement unlocked. Heat Endurance skill generated. A couple of messages popped up, but I had no idea what they said. I couldnt think of anything besides staying conscious. I did know one thing for sure. Szzzzzzz. Ugh. U-aagrggh. I survived. I lowered my shield and stared directly at the chief. With as much intimidation in my voice, I mustered Youre fucking dead. Even as I could barely breathe, I could still say those words. The chief seemed to understand despite thenguage barrier and stepped back in fear. ! His face slowly paled as he looked at his surroundings. Sh-sh-shC! He realized there was nowhere to escape as we were surrounded by fire on all sides. Hope fled from his eyes as his chance of escape decreased to zero. I dragged my barely moving body while barely gripping to the hilt of my sword. The orc chief stood there, paralyzed with fear. ShC Crack! The chief orc let out its final cry as I split his head in half. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 2.

I felt messages pop up, but I couldnt tell for sure. elerated regeneration wasnt even working because the wounds were too severe. I waved my hand to push the messages aside. I could always look at the messages in the waiting area. But not those. The burning remnants of the orc corpses. All of my attention was focused on the ck fog emitting from their burning bodies. Id be losing out if I didnt absorb all of them. But I was at a point where it wouldnt be unexpected for me to just pass out. I had to take some emergency measures. I slowly reached into my inventory to take out a potion. Regeneration Potion An item that heals small injuries when sprayed. I took off the top and poured the potion onto my head. Ssh! Ahhhhggggh! The droplets of the potion dripping down my body left a trail of pain as they fell to the floor. I assumed it was effective because I was slowly gaining my senses back. All I need is to be able to move. Ill get out of the forest as soon as I absorb the spirits. Agggggghhhh I dragged my body like a zombie to the fog. I had to do this before I passed out. You have absorbed the soul of the orc. You have absorbed the soul of the orc. You have absorbed the soul of the orc. . . . Number of souls in possession C 5/5 Proficiency increased by 42% I turned around as soon as I finished absorbing them. I could wait to convert themter. Voom! I copsed into the blue portal that appeared where the chief once stood. Moving to the waiting room. I lost consciousness as a wave of relief flowed through my body. *** I woke up on the waiting room floor. I was still a bit dizzy when I woke up but I wasnt mentally or physically tired. I got up and examined my body. All the injuries and burns I got fighting the orcs had disappeared. But I cant use this shield anymore. The shield I was holding was nothing more than a piece of junk now. It was broken and cracked beyond repair. There was no way it could block anything in this state. Was the impact of thest attack too much? The shield may have been able to block the guard orcs attacks, but it didnt stand a chance against the chiefs magic. At least it saved my life. It did its job before breaking down. If I had taken that fireball directly, I might not be here right now. I returned what was left of the shield to the inventory and opened my mouth. Trial. Floor 3 trial starting in C 23hrs 21min Was I passed out for about an hour? Not as long as I thought. I had pushed myself beyond my physical and mental limits, so it wasnt that surprising. At least the waiting room is pretty effective. Even though my bodys still feeling hot from the phantom pains I got off pretty easy if you think about it. If it was any more serious, I would have died without even absorbing the souls. Ah, I did absorb those souls. Number of souls in possession C 5/5 Wow, I didnt miss a single soul. I thought I would have missed at least one or two of them I guess I should give myself a little more credit. After checking out the souls, I caught up on all the other messages I missed. All the messages about the heat and pain resistance, as well as all the reward messages. I couldnt help but smirk looking at the list of rewards. I also had an insane amount of points. Inventory. An item Id never seen was taking up the very first slot. Assassins Cloak Grade: D Conceals all types of presence by -10% A cloak specially designed for the assassination guild. While agility is below 50, it increases by +5 While inserting mana, the user can increase their movement speed by 15% for 1 minute. The active ability can be used again after a 24-hour cooldown. I couldnt believe what I was seeing. Even at a nce, I could tell that it was overpowered. These rewards are insane. It gave me the assassination reward even though I didnt assassinate the chief. The default bonus was already amazing with the movement speed and presence erasure bonus. Thats already good enough, but the active ability? While inserting mana, the user can increase their movement speed by 15% for 1 minute. This is the craziest bonus. Even if the cooldown is a little long. That wasnt all though. Obsidian Dagger Grade: E+ Reaction speed +5% Attack speed +10% A dagger emitting dark mana, forged from ck steel. It is approximately 60cm long and does not dull easily. Its not as good as the cloak, but its still something. It says its a dagger, but its long enough to be a one-handed sword. Noints there though. Its the perfect weapon to be used in a variety of ways. I swung the de a couple of times as practice. It was reminiscent of the night sky. Whoosh! I could hear the sharpness of the de. Iparable to the sword that I had received from the tutorial. The decision was an easy one. It was time to rece the tutorial sword. The tutorial sword didnt have a grade attached when I first got it, but the E+ Obsidian Dagger was clearly the higher-ranked weapon. The sword was also pretty rusted and dulled from all the blood. Ill just keep it in the inventory for now. That should be it for all the equipment Its time to check the skills now. Skill C Heat Resistance (F) Proficiency C 5% Effect C All damage taken from me attacks are reduced by 7% A heat resistance skill that I got from an achievement. Skill C Pain Resistance (D) Proficiency C 4% Effect C Upon a strong enough impact, temporarily reduces all pain felt by 15% And the pain resistance I got as a bonus reward. They werent bad but a little disappointing. I would have preferred a weapon or offensive skill but Im using the little weapons knowledge I can scrape together, but theres a big difference between a weapons skill and whatever Im doing. Its a bit underwhelming for something I risked my life for. At least I got the cloak and the dagger. Resistance skills arent very cost efficient in the beginning. People say that theyre basically useless until you raise the rank to D+. Of course, it might be different from person to person. They dont rank up easily unless I hurt myself, so its not verypatible with me. I can only train it in a life-threatening situation. The only thing usable was the Pain Resistance. Maybe its because it was a bonus reward, but its a D-rank skill. After a while, I started wondering. Did the others also pass? There were hunters in the mix so I shouldnt be too worried I had had a thought in the midst of the 2nd trial. The goal of my trial was assassination. The trial would be cleared after killing the old orc chief. I might have thought it was easy if I didnt think about it too hard. But The seemingly feeble chief turned out to be a magician. What if I had entered his room without knowing? Magicians generally fortify their workshops. Assuming that his room was his workshop, he definitely had some sort of anti-intruder measures. That would have definitely ended badly for me. It would have been more dangerous if I attacked in the middle of the night. The orc hunters would have piled on and made the trial impossible. I only survived because I didnt attempt an assassination, but there was no guarantee that the others followed suit. I opened up themunity to see how it went for others. You have entered themunity. Difficulty C Hard Floor 3 Community (1977/2531) As predicted, the number of people in themunity had halved. But the most important part came after. I guess everyone went through their own individual trials. But they all seemed to think it was unreasonably difficult. Well, I wasnt surprised to find any of these out. Everyone in themunity spiraled into discussing how to get back to earth. Of course, theres a way to find out. You just have to ask the administrator. I just didnt want to waste a question. But these people didnt seem to care anymore. I thought about joining in but I decided against it. Ill just stay put. Most people seemed to agree with me and took more of a bystander approach. Its a smart decision. You have more to lose from stepping up than gaining anything valuable. Themunity was flooded with messages. And A method to return to Earth started to appear in themunity. Chapter 9: Growth (2) Chapter 9: Growth (2) It seemed like more things would be unlocked on the 5th floor. I paid closer attention to the chat. The chatting died down as everyone became somber. I saw this as a huge win though. So there IS a way to get back. Its all Id wanted since Id entered the tower. Same as everyone else. As long as you reach the 8th floor, you should be able to get back. But why is it that The news didnt make me that happy. More information started to pop up in themunity. Everyone started sharing what they found out left and right. They could be charging points for this Not a single person tried to sell anything though. They were all too preupied with the idea of returning home. What they called the divergence was simple. The narrative-based trial. The battle-based trial. The strategy-based trial. On the 8th floor, you get to choose one of these divergences. Essentially, it would determine the way in which youd climb the tower. If you chose the narrative-based trial, youd y a role within a story. Battle-based trials would be mostly eradication or a raid. And the strategic trials would consist of challenges that could involve the other challengers, like capture the g. I could picture how theyd all go besides the narrative trials. From the looks of it The administrator didnt seem to want to give us the whole picture. I should take this into ount when I ask my questions. There wasnt much more to get out of themunity after that. I turned themunity off when the conversations became irrelevant. Why arent I that happy about finding out that we can go home If I could get back, Id be a top-ss hunter. Using my innate ability, Id be able to go around dungeons absorbing souls to get stronger. I can probably even be an A rank hunter. But that didnt sit right with me. I guess human greed knows no bounds. This was the first time Id been given the opportunity to grow. I wanted to get stronger. I wanted to climb higher. A smile escaped from the corner of my mouth. Am I trying to kill myself? I had to snap out of it. p! Get yourself together. I pped my face to regain myposure. The 5th and 8th-floor challenges were a problem for the future. I might not even survive the 3rd floor. I had to focus. Ill think about those floors when I get to them. The most important thing was staying alive. Han Sungyeun Strength C 16 Stamina C 11 Agility C 11 Mana C 8 Innate ability C Necromancy(F) Skill C elerated Regeneration(E+), Heat Resistance(F), Pain Resistance(D) This is more like it. It was much better than the time from the tutorial where all the stats were below 10. But I didnt know if this would be enough for the higher floors. I needed to get stronger. Innate ability C Necromancy(F) Proficiency C 65% Basic effect C Able to absorb the souls of the dead and control them at will. Extra effect(1) C Able to permanently increase stats depending on the nature and rank of the soul. Extra effect(2) C Able to store souls forter use. Soul storage capacity depends on the abilitys rank. My innate abilitys proficiency was getting pretty close to 100%. That meant it was almost time for my innate ability to evolve again. Once it hits 100%, it should rank up to an E rank ability. Then it should gain some extra effects. That was what the other yers said when their innate abilities ranked up. Soon Im going to need something a little better than just absorbing souls. More so because my stats werent increasing as much anymore, but I wasnt too worried about that. I could always find more monsters to fight. Necromancy made the user stronger and stronger the more you fought. Id be able to rank it up as long as I was well prepared for the 3rd trial. I began by absorbing all of the souls I had. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls in captivity. Strength increased by 9. Agility increased by 14. Stamina increased by 10. Mana increased by 6. Number of souls in possession C 0/5 Power overflowed in my body. In the past, I just felt more energetic than before, but this was different. I felt like my body didnt know what to do with all the surplus power. Satisfied, I opened my stat window. Han Sungyeun Strength C 27 Stamina C 25 Agility C 28(+5) Mana C 13 Innate ability C Necromancy(F) Skill C elerated Regeneration(E+), Heat Resistance(F), Pain Resistance(D) The three stats that affected the physical body were all above 20 now. Not only that, but they were also about to hit 30. My agility is already over 30 if you count the item bonus. I could probably kill an orc with my bare hands right now. Tack! I propelled myself against the ground and jumped up as hard as I could. I pushed myself back off the ceiling andnded back on the ground. After a total of 4 round trips, I wasnt even phased. It felt more like a warm-up to me. Im starting to feel more and more inhuman My body was feeling more like a living weapon now. Especially considering that the stats were well bnced. Although Im still not very used to it yet. With this much strength, I couldnt properly control my body. But I should be physically superior to an average orc. As long as I could get used to it I can probably 1v1 a D rank monster. Either way, I should never let my guard down. One mistake could cost me my life. Floor 3 trial starting in C 18hrs 32min I think its about time I start training again. I couldnt be arrogant just because I won one battle. First, I bought myself another shield. Deadwood Shield (D-) Cost C 2,100 points Exnation C A shield made by a ck magician from a piece of deadwood. Activates a buff when life falls below a threshold. This should be enough. I had enough points to spare. You have purchased Deadwood Shield (D-) 2,100 points deducted. Remaining bnce C 1,275 It cost me a pretty penny but it was alright. I still had a lot left from the 2nd trials reward. Deadwood Shield (D-) Grade: D- A violet round shield that a ck magician forged for berserker. Made from quality deadwood that does not break easily and absorbs impact. Increases attack speed after losing certain amounts of life. Increases strength after losing certain amounts of life. It said that a ck magician forged this, so it made sense that the effects were pretty creepy. The effects should be quite useful in the trials. Made for a berserker, huh I guess thats sort of what I am now. I had to fight non-stop if I wanted to stay alive in these battles. That was enough distractions for the moment. I put on all of the equipment and started training. Shield and dagger techniques, along with getting used to this new body I also had to check out the effects of the Assassins Cloak. You could only use the active abilities by passing in some mana through it. I have to get some practice in because Ive only just started using mana. That way, Id be able to use it in battle more naturally. Floor 3 trial starting in C 17hrs 12min I immersed myself in training with my new shield. There was a lot to learn now that my reach had gotten a lot shorter with the dagger. But the more I trained, the more I found myself enjoying it. I got more ustomed to the dagger and my inhuman strength. I never could have imagined myself like this in the outside world. Just that fact made the training feel enjoyable. Actually This is quite nice? Seeing my stats increase shined a new light on repetitive training. It wasnt like I suddenly became a swordsmanship prodigy or anything, but I was still ecstatic that Id be this strong. My heart was beating out of my chest and my whole body heated up. I felt alive the whole time. Maybe I was just slowly going crazy. Was it normal to feel like this when I could die at any moment? Maybe it was. You never know what you have until youre about to lose it. This was also the first time Id ever had any potential in my future as a hunter. The stats, skills, and innate abilities. Maybe its because Id never had all the things that the others took for granted. All I had to think about was surviving the third trial. While I got lost in my thoughts and training, a message popped up. Floor 3 trial starting in C 0secs Time up. It was time to start climbing the tower again. Do you ept the 3rd-floor trial? Y/N Time to test out the fruits of my training. Chapter 10: Growth (3) Chapter 10: Growth (3) I entered the third challenge as soon as the cooldown of the Assassins Cloak was up. There was nothing more I could do to prepare. In order to survive and return to Earth, I had to do this now. Entering Tower of Trials floor 3. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is battle. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. A wet atrium appeared as I stepped into the portal. It was a seemingly normal-looking cave with small puddles of water. A small hole in the ceiling let a glimmer of sunlight into the center of the cave. The 3rd-floor trial is starting soon. Trial sess condition C Kill the sentinel of darkness Trial fail condition C Challengers death Trial sess reward C Elixir of Steel (C) Trial fail penalty C Death I looked around my surroundings after looking at the message. I cant even begin to imagine what a sentinel of darkness is. There wasnt anything with that name in the hunter associations database. Another thing I dont see anything that could be called a sentinel of darkness. That meant It could be hiding. I held onto my shield tightly as I walked to the center of the cave. I didnt know where it would being out from. My guard had to be up at all times. Then The sentinel of darkness will spawn in 10 seconds. ? I stared nkly at the message. Ive seen this somewhere I just remembered where Ist saw the message. The Tutorial Trial. It seemed like that was forever ago. That meant the enemy hadnt spawned yet. That was more psychological pressure for me. It would be one thing if it was hiding but Now itd be spawning somece totally random. This is much more precarious. But there wasnt much I could do about this situation I kept my guard up and waited patiently for 10 seconds. The sentinel of darkness is spawning now. A shriek pierced my eardrums as the message popped up. Swaah! The sound of air shredding approached from the left. I twisted my body and put my shield up. Crang! The shock paralyzed my arm even through the shield. Ugh! The attack was strong enough to lure out a groan from me. I panicked for a second, but I got back into my stance. Then Defeat the doppelganger, sentinel of darkness. The sentinel of darkness that the system was talking about finally showed itself. A dark shadowy figure wavered in the stream of sunlight. Shhhhh It was simr to a person. Like a ck mass clumsily attempting to resemble a human. And the shield and the sword in its hand Is it copying me? The figure without eyes, nose, and a mouth creeped me out a little bit. This was the first time I was up against something I had no information on. That means no other hunter has faced this monster before. That alone made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Going up against an unknown enemy was a big handicap. I lowered my body and hid it behind the shield. I would be at a disadvantage if I made the first move. But ? The doppelganger also stood in ce. As if it was not a living being. Is it an intelligent monster? Thats not good. Most monsters act purely based on instinct, but monsters above C-rank start to gain intelligence. The second floor even had a magician It really hit me that this was the hardest difficulty. After each trial, I could feel myself inching towards death. This must be what its like to walk on a tightrope. Krr, krrrrr. The doppelgangers dark facial area opened up and revealed a mouth. When its low pitched growl exposed the irregrly-ced fangs Whoosh! The doppelgangers right arm extended towards my face. The ability to close off distance without moving a step was frightening. I bent my torso backward in a hurry to have its arm graze over me. Crrrrrrrrr! The arm scraped the walls of the cave and the crash echoed throughout the cave. An absurd amount of strength. For a second there, I gazed out into the void. A battle I have to kill that monster? It wasnt limited by range and was physically superior to me. This waspletely different from the second trial. My strategy of isting the stronger opponent wouldnt work here. One-on-one. A one-on-one with no strategy involved. My head filled with despair as I realized this was the only way to clear this trial. But Whoosh! I didnt get to revel in my feelings for too long before his arm shot at me again. The attack was too strong for me to block with my shield. I had to dodge this with a minimal amount of movement if I wanted to react to its next attack. I had to shake off my doubt and hesitation. I tilted my head to the side as I barely managed to dodge the attack. Chaaack! As the doppelgangers dagger darted past my face. Drip. My cheeks burned as I felt my blood drip down. I wiped the blood off my face and ran toward the monster. I have to close the distance if I want any chance at winning! At this rate, Id tire out just trying to stay alive. If I could close the distance, its shapeshifting wouldnt be as useful. But The doppelganger seemed to wee the closebat. I dont know why it willingly gave up its advantage, but this was my chance. Taking advantage of the distance, I took a jab at the doppelgangers heart. However, the doppelganger did not take this lightly. Kunng! Krr, krrrr. It blocked my dagger using the shield in its left arm. This must be why it allowed me to get so close. But I expected this from a monster taking my form. I didnt hesitate to take another shot. Whoosh! I made a wide swing, forcing the monster to take a step back. I continued with a vertical sh. ng! It blocked it again with the shield, but it didnt matter. The point of the attack wasnt to get a hit in. Bang! I kicked the doppelgangers leg while it was distracted by the dagger. Most monsters would lose their bnce at this point The doppelgangers leg wavered but quickly regained its form. What kind of bull I aimed directly at the joint but that didnt even matter. I assumed that it might not be the most effective, but I didnt think physical attacks would bepletely useless. This was just unexpected. ng! After our short exchange, I gave myself some distance and stared at the doppelganger. Its abilities were crazy, but it was also starting to copy more clearly. It even has the same stance as me now. I guess its not called a doppelganger for nothing. The longer this exchange went on, the stronger this doppelganger would get. Im already at a disadvantage. The ability to transform and strengthen its body parts. And the intelligence to copy their opponents techniques. It may have more abilities, but this was enough information. If this drags on, I lose. I had to finish this as fast as possible. Id have to throw everything I could at it. I swung my dagger again as that fact settled into my brain. ng! The doppelganger blocked it perfectly again. Seems like it finished learning my shield techniques. But ng! Kang! Tang! ng! I didnt stop and continued to swing my dagger. There had to be a limit to how much impact it could handle. If I could put continuous pressure on this guy, it could show an opening Tung! My theory soon proved itself correct. The shield fell back after countless shes. I quickly stabbed it in the heart as soon as my chance came. A clean jab. Puashh! Muddy liquid poured out from the newly formed hole. The doppelganger stumbled back for a second but regained its stance. It seemed a little shocked but not to the extent where its life was in danger. The hole in the doppelganger closed itself already. It didnt seempletely useless though. The doppelganger definitely felt threatened by me now. That means the dagger was effective. And Its not immune to all physical attacks. As long as my attack was strong enough to get past its defenses. An attack to the neck or the head might be able to kill it. Of course, it didnt react as well as I wanted to the attack in the heart But the neck and head are different. Not many monsters are unphased by decapitation. A doppelganger shouldnt be an exception. Thats good enough for me to give it a try. I need an opportunity to get one good attack in. That meant Id have to use everything I had. Concentrating on the energy in my stomach, I spread the mana into my body. I moved my mana with ease, just like I practiced in the waiting area. In the past, doing this took all my energy and concentration. Manas my lowest stat after all. But now Using the Assassins Cloak(C)s active ability. Movement speed +15% Activation time left C 00:00:59 It wasnt as exhausting after my mana stat increased. Just the feeling of something leaving my body. It takes a bit out of me but nothing unbearable. This could shift the tides back in my favor. I moved some mana into the cloak and started moving. Koong! I lightly pushed off my foot and my surroundings dashed past me. An agility over 30 with a 15% boost. A little out of bnce. I barely managed to regain my bnce while zooming through the air. This was only possible through the fruits of my training. I just have to do it like I did it in the waiting area! I focused all my attention on the tips of my toes and held my shield up instead of the dagger. I wasnt arrogant enough to aim directly at its neck. Although if I was used to this speed, I would have tried to slice his neck open. Not only was I not used to this speed, but it was also holding a shield. Not to mention that it stole all of my shield techniques. So This is the best I can do for now. Crannng! When the impact from the crash hit me. Piiiiii An unfamiliar ringing noise filled my ears and shook my brain up. But I didnt even have time to scream. Crash! My entire body shook and my vision phased in and out. The recoil was so much worse than I thought. Uughhh! My vision was blurry and my head was killing me. I couldnt move my body either. The skill Pain Resistance is activating. All pain induced to the user is reduced by 15%. This skill was the only reason I was still conscious. Damn it, whats wrong with me! I propped myself up on the cold gravel. Shudder My arms were shaking and blood was dripping down to the floor. I must have hit something when I crashed. I was too dizzy to even tell where the blood wasing from. The pain seemed to being from everywhere. But it didnt matter. The skill elerated Regeneration is activating. The skill activated and I started to gain some rity back. Although, it felt like time was passing extra slowly. This should have left an impact on the doppelganger. The chances are, it was also debilitated now like me. I hobbled my way up to look around. Then This crazy son of a I saw the doppelganger trembling in the corner of the cave. Looking at its formless legs and arms, it took a good beating. Even that seemed to be repaired now though. It was at least still struggling to move around at the moment. I didnt have a moment to lose. I gripped my shield and dagger and ran towards the monster. It was recovering pretty fast but I was confident that I could decapitate it before that. Activation time left C 00:00:27 I still had some time on my buff left. Deadwood Shield(D)s effect is activating. Strength increased by 2 temporarily. Attack speed slightly increased temporarily. Nice timing! Spending all those points on the shield ended up being worth it. Strength flowed through my body, as opposed to the barely alive doppelganger. It was now or never. Craaaaack-! When I shoved the dagger into the doppelgangers neck. Congrattions, you have cleared the 3rd floor. Finally. Chapter 11: Growth (4) Chapter 11: Growth (4) Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 3. As a reward, you have received Elixir of Steel. As a reward, you have received 3,000 points. As a bonus reward, you have received the skill Hunters Daggermanship (E) As a bonus reward, you have received 1,000 points. Please move to the waiting area. The familiar messages appeared as the doppelgangers body disintegrated. I let out a sigh of relief as my legs gave out and I fell to the floor. Plop. Ahhhhhhh My stamina drained by the elerated regeneration. The mana was needed to activate the cloak skill. And the recoil from the tackle. I was physically, mentally, and spiritually drained. If anything had gone wrong, I could have been the oneying there. I thought I had gotten a lot stronger but This difficulty wasnt bnced at all. I would have died if my innate ability wasnt battle-oriented. Same with everyone else. They probably onlysted as long as they did because they used to be hunters. Most normal people probably died off I would be in their shoes too if I hadnt trained in different martial disciplines for thest 7 years. But why? Rather than fear of increasing difficulty, a different emotion was starting to emerge. The feeling of victory. The same feeling that overwhelmed me on the 1st and 2nd floor. Deciding to fight and then winning. The feeling was enough to make you forget about the close encounters with death. The feeling was more prominent than ever after clearing the 3rd floor. I tried to suppress the feelings for a while but Badum. Badum. The fact that I fought and achieved something Was that something that could make my heart beat this fast? No way. This wasnt something that a normal person would feel. How could you be excited after youve almost died? This was different from being relieved that you survived. But Just knowing that fact didnt make me any more normal. Maybe its because thest 7 years of my life have been so stagnant. Or was I this crazy from the start? Either way This tower isnt good news for me. It tests me to my limit and provides a fair reward. Unlike real life where my hard work amounted to nothing. Maybe thats also just an excuse. No matter the reason, it was clear that I was abnormal. But that was also one of the reasons that I survived. I couldnt deny that. Those who were able to adapt survived and those who couldnt died. Thats why themunity members go down every floor. From that perspective, that wasnt too bad. Idpletely adapted to this new way of life. But I heard hunters in my situation were in the most danger. Its easier to get addicted to the thrill of battle and go mad. I heard this was more severe for people with growth-type innate abilities. Then was it wrong to feel these feelings? I didnt know. It was probably a good thing for now but Everything would change on the 5th floor. There was a possibility of going back to Earth after that. But for now. Lets just focus on staying alive. That was more than enough to keep me busy for now. I lifted myself up and walked toward the doppelganger. I stuck my hands into the ck mist. You have absorbed the soul of the doppelganger. Number of souls in possession C 1/5 Proficiency increased by 35% My surprise at the proficiency increase didntst too long. Innate ability Necromancys proficiency reached 100%. Innate ability Necromancys ranked up. ? I really didnt expect that to happen. *** Its going to rank up this suddenly? All I could do was stare nkly. I didnt understand why the proficiency increased by so much and the skill ranked up. But I had a feeling why. Maybe theres a hidden bonus depending on the soul that I absorb. Like maybe the proficiency increases more if its stronger than me. Id heard some skills that worked like that. The system was concise and didnt always exin everything. Of course, this wasnt a bad thing for me I guess I just got lucky this time. That was the only possible exnation. It seemed like my innate ability had pretty high potential. This skill was probably one of the higher-tier growth skills. I get stronger the more enemies I fight and the proficiency explodes depending on some conditions. A dryugh escaped my mouth as I opened my status window. Innate ability C Necromancy (E) Proficiency C 0% Basic effect C Able to absorb the souls of the dead and control them at will. Extra effect(1) C Able to permanently increase stats depending on the nature and rank of the soul. Extra effect(2) C Able to store souls forter use. Soul storage capacity depends on the abilitys rank. Extra effect(3) C Able to acquire one skill bound to a soul at a certain percentage upon absorbing that soul. I couldnt hold back a smirk after looking at the added effect. They say its high risk, high return And it was true. Killing the doppelganger was definitely a risk worth this reward. Ive never heard of a skill that lets you take a skill from a monster. Another sign that this was a top-tier innate ability. I understand being able to absorb stats but skills? Thats too much. No ones ever heard of something like that. There were also no prerequisites to absorbing skills. Its like, if the tower was high risk, high return Necromancy was low risk, high return. There wasnt much to worry about, but the rewards wereparable to those of the tower. Even if there were some unseen conditions, this was still a winning deal for me. I never thought Id end up with an innate ability like this. I was different from the past where I couldnt get any of my stats to increase. All I had to do was fight strong enemies. Well, they dont necessarily have to be strong. I could just massacre a bunch of weaker enemies to get stronger too. No wonder why everyone said that your innate ability was the most important. If you ended up with a good one, the value couldnt be measured in money. I somehow ended up in that group. Couldnt this have happened a little sooner? It was making me go through literal hell before giving me this overpowered ability. No usementing the past now. I was a little salty but moved my attention to the other rewards. Skill C Hunters Daggermanship (E) Proficiency C 0% Exnation C A technique made by hunters for effective hunting. Effect C When using a dagger, the weapons cutting force is increased by 1.5 times. I would have preferred a rarer dagger skill but I shouldnt be too greedy. Hunters Daggermanship. I knew it pretty well. There was a time when I would have killed for this skill. My untalented ass wasnt able to get it anyway. I did end up being able to learn how to use the weapons though. It was one of the skills that were rtively easy to learn and one of the most effective. I mean the effect is nice and I wanted a weapon skill but why this one? I thought the Tower of Trials would give a different variety of weapon skills. Bute to think of it, it made sense thinking about thements I saw in themunity. They said the way you cleared the trial was important to the bonus rewards. This was a reflection of how I fought during the trial. I did use the dagger during the whole trial. I guess it made sense that this was the skill that I got. I also checked the new item in my inventory. Elixir of Steel Grade: C An elixir that an alchemist poured their soul into. ] Creates a special stat Tenacity. If the stat already exists, increase it by 5. The stat increase only applies when the stat is below 40. The creation of a new stat caught my eye. It made sense why the grade of this item was so high. This would be traded at an incredibly high rate outside. It was crazy that something like this was in my hands right now. Even if this was selling for a historically high rate, I couldnt even sell it now and had no intentions of doing so. Thats how important the creation of a new stat was. Its time to go back now. I didnt want to stay in this bleak and muddy cave for too long. I want to absorb the soul and rest already. The regeneration skill wasnt enough to bring me to full health. Select a soul to absorb from the souls in captivity. Number of souls in possession C 1/15 Doppelganger The interface expanded and gave me more choices. Some things changed after the skill ranked up. I pressed on the text that said doppelganger and tried to absorb it. Then. Absorbing the doppelgangers soul. Able to acquire the following souls skill at a certain percentage. The message now said that it was in the process of absorbing instead of showing the increased stats. A certain percentage. The probability likely wasnt very high because there was no risk involved. Theres no way Id hit the jackpot on the first try I should keep my expectations low so I dont get disappointed. Then Absorbed the doppelgangers soul. Acquiring one of the doppelgangers skills. Jackpot. Chapter 12: Trial of Competition (1) Chapter 12: Trial of Competition (1) Permanently increasing your stats using the doppelgangers soul. Strength increased by 7. Agility increased by 5. Stamina increased by 4. Mana increased by 7. The same old, same old. Until Acquiring skill Physical Resistance (D) Physical resistance? My head emptied for a second. There was no question as to where this skill came from. Dumfounded, I reread the messages on the screen. Acquiring one of the doppelgangers skills. Was I always this lucky? My life had been nothing but a series of unfortunate events up until now It was as if my reality was shattering. When I came to my senses, I checked the details of my new skill. Skill C Physical Resistance (D) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Gain resistance to all kinds of physical attacks. I didnt know what gaining resistance meant but I knew one thing for sure. Id acquired one of the best possible skills from the doppelganger. Physical resistance was probably a property that the doppelgangers body had. It wasnt too hard to theorize. Still, more thoughts swarmed my head. Just how good is this necromancy skill? If the E-rank effect was this strong, just what additional effects would it gainter? I couldnt even begin to imagine it. At the same time, a small voice in the back of my head was telling me: It would be a waste to stop here. The impulse I felt when I first chose this difficulty overtook me again. But I couldnt let it get to me. Arrogance leads to carelessness and carelessness leads to a mistake. This wasnt a game so there would be no respawning if I died. I needed to be careful. After checking on all the rewards, I started moving again. Then Moving to the waiting area. It was time to get out of this damn cave. *** You have entered the 4th floor waiting room. Healing all injuries and status ailments. The healing effect is constantly applied in the waiting room. The familiar message weed me to the waiting area. The 4th floor, huh I got a funny feeling when I thought about the fact that I had gone through this 3 times already And how much stronger Id gotten throughout the trials. You have entered themunity. Difficulty C Hard Ignoring the nostalgic feeling, my body already knew what to do. Floor 4 Community (880/1508) Comints burst out as soon as I opened themunity. It makes sense though. The 3rd trial was crazy difficult. The 2nd floor wasnt too bad as long as you knew how to use your head but not the 3rd floor. But the mood in themunity wasnt as bad as I thought. It seems that only the more experienced people were left at this point. People were even sharing some tips. A lot more tips came up afterward. Of course, I already know most of it so I didnt have to focus as much, but I still learned some good stuff. Skill proficiency goes up after I turn off the auto-healing? Same with acquiring new skills. There was a lot of interesting information. I was wondering what the heat resistance was about. I guess its built into the system. A system that rewarded you for achieving something. There wasnt any detailed information but I still learned a decent amount. Even after 3 trials, the tower still managed to surprise me. As soon as one person mentioned the 4th trial, themunity couldnt stop thinking about it. This is what he said: Hed been using his questions to find out information about every uing trial. And as always, he asked the administrator about the 4th trial. Basically, all the challengers on the 4th floor would be going through the trial together. Something unthinkable to the challengers. There was no coboration whatsoever until now But the 4th trial would be different. Some people spected that difficulty would spike because of all the people, while others said that coboration would make the trials a little easier. The trial was definitely pitting us against each other. I didnt know if this would be an outright battle royale but Whether or not the trial made us kill each other or not, anyone who lost would be killed by the penalty anyway. Wed be fighting each other, even if it was just to stay alive. Wed be put into teams of 3 and work towards amon objective. The teams would be formed randomly by the tower. But people stopped talking after that. I didnt know who would use their questions to find out any additional information but Theres no way someone would share that information like before. Everyone must have figured out the situation by now. I didnt know why the initial challenger even told us what he knew. Did he not realize what this information would do to themunity? No way. Still, there was no point in deliberating on why he told us. It didnt seem like a lie but theres no way to tell. If its true, wed have to fight each other like it or not. This was different from all the other trials where you had to kill monsters. The gravity of having tomit murder weighed down on themunity. The losers would die and the winners would move on to the next floor. I stared at the frozen chat screen and got lost in my thoughts. Could I really kill someone for my own benefit? I dont know But that didnt mean Idy down and let them walk all over me. In the end, Id have to act to save my own life. So I knew what I had to do to survive. I had to review my rewards and prepare for the uing fight. Nothing had changed. I had to prepare for and ovee the next trial. That was all. Chapter 13: Trial of Competition (2) Chapter 13: Trial of Competition (2) The Elixir of Steel. An elixir you could get by clearing the 3rd trial. Normally this would sell for billions but Youve taken the Elixir of Steel. Special stat Tenacity has been created. The spirit of steel encapstes your body. The higher the tenacity, the stronger your body gets. ] That didnt matter now. The most important thing was whether or not Id survive the 4th trial. Han Sungyeun Strength C 34 Stamina C 29 Agility C 33(+5) Mana C 20 Tenacity C 10 Innate ability C Necromancy (E) Skill C See details Seeing my newly increased stats gave me a sense of pride. I have to do everything in my power to make sure I win thepetition. Victory or death. I dont know if I can win against them in a fight but I at least wouldnt avoid a fight. I started to gain more and more confidence as I climbed the tower. There was no more hesitation. I wouldnt run from any more fights. And Id win. More importantly, the effects of the elixir were taking ce. Its doing its job as a C-rank item. The change was almost immediate. Everything felt hard to the touch. It was as if my skin had turned into steel. I could also tell that my endurance had gone up. I was a little disappointed that the reward was gone already, but it was toote to worry about that. Then it was time to inspect my equipment. I decided to go easy on the points this round. I wouldnt buy anything besides the necessary food and potions. That was the most efficient use of my points. Especially since theyre going to sell return stones and skills in the marketceter. It would be more worth it to save up now. I had already determined that I would be safe with my current equipment. Also, it seemed like the objective of the 4th trial was indeedpetition. If it wasnt, someone would have said something about it when they asked for more details. But themunity was silent. You could deduce an answer without wasting any questions. Teams of three This would be the first time meeting anyone in the tower. I was a little excited but still nervous. Would the other challengers have gotten stronger like me? I couldnt tell how much stronger I had gotten because I had no one topare myself to. But I did know that I was growing at an elerated rate. But I also wanted to know how the other challengers had progressed. No one ever revealed information about themselves, even back when themunity was most active. One thing I knew for sure was that they were all strong enough to pass 3 trials. No matter how much I progressed, I cant be arrogant. I straightened up all of my equipment and prepared for my training. Do you want to disable the waiting areas auto-healing? Y/N Using some information that I got before themunity quieted down The auto-healing has been disabled. The body will retain physical stress and injuries will not heal. If that was true, it would prove to be pretty useful. Training was the only thing I could do. Just like always. *** When I was just starting to get used to my new body, a message appeared as if to tell me I was ready. Do you ept the 4th floor trial? Gasping for air, I stared at the message. Pant, pant. Damn, training was much harder without auto-healing. I didnt know having it off would make this much difference I had hit my physical limit swinging my sword and rolling on the ground. Every fiber of my muscles ached, and the pain pierced through my bones. The skill elerated Regeneration is activating. I had been repetitively leaving cuts on my arms to activate elerated Regeneration. The self-harm was also doing a number on my mental stability. But the results were astounding. Skill C elerated Regeneration (E+) Proficiency C 27% Effect C Able to recover quickly from non-life-threatening injuries. The proficiency had been going up as I constantly gave myself small cuts. I couldnt train the resistance skills by harming myself, so those hadnt increased. And even if I could raise it myself, the activation condition was the problem. Training that skill would essentially be torture. Though maybe it was a good thing that I couldnt self-harm my way into training the resistance skills. Otherwise, I would have had to torture myself sooner orter. Most skills didnt have loopholes you could use to artificially increase proficiency like elerated regeneration. However, even healing a small wound took a lot of stamina, so I couldnt raise it all that much. If I overdid it, I could be in danger of passing out. And the more injuries I had, the more likely that the skill wouldnt activate. I guess I could turn the auto-healing off if things got rough. I dont have the luxury of switching that on and off until I get more points. But there had been some pros to this. My movements had be more efficient from tiring out, and it was easier to see the effects of the new skills. For example, the effects of my new tenacity stat and the Hunters Daggermanship passive. In the beginning, I almost lost a hand from the increased cutting force. I still got chills thinking back to that. But At least it was effective. Looking at the results, I would be at a loss if I didnt keep training like this. After a brief break, I turned the auto-healing back on. My muscles loosened and my stamina was restored. Now that all my hindrances were gone There was no reason to not ept the next trial. Some people might think that I was rushing into it but If I hesitate, I may end up never going through with it. Do you ept the 4th floor trial? Y/N Its now or never. Queueing the challengers Please wait until the matching isplete. Current number of challengers C 18/30 I was wondering what the matching system was. I kinda get it now. Its simple. The Tower of Trials always gave its challengers an intuitive challenge. Almost as if it was trying to show us the most direct path for growth. And then it hit me. Why is it doing this for us? It was only the 4th floor but I was already stronger than most low-level hunters. If you included my equipment and skills, the difference was even more drastic. The higher I went up the tower, the harder the trials got And the better the rewards the tower would provide. This was just my gut but, I didnt think the tower was giving these rewards for no reason. Everything has a cost. What would the tower even want from me? Probably something impossible for an individual, considering the number of people it pulled in. Just as I was about to continue this train of thought Ting! Current number of challengers C 30/30 Matchingplete. A portal opened as if to rush us out of our waiting areas. I stopped my thoughts and walked to the portal. Ill think about thister. For now, Ill focus on the trial. Entering Tower of Trials floor 4. Difficulty C Hard The following trial is a special trial where 30 challengers enter as a group. The objective of the following trial is petition. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. Voom! The surroundings changed into something I mightve seen in medieval novels. Decorative paintings in a room surrounded by walls made of brick. There wasnt time to admire the view though. Choosing the teams. You are in a close rtionship with your teammates. Coborate with them andplete the trial before any others. Voom! The portal I entered disappeared and 2 more appeared in front of me. And The 4th floor trial is starting soon. Remaining time C 1day Trial sess condition C Killing the goblin chief before the timer runs out Trial fail condition C Challengers teams death or time out Trial sess reward C All stats +4 Trial fail penalty C Death Its time. Chapter 14: Trial of Competition (3) Chapter 14: Trial of Competition (3) The teams have been formed. The citadels front door will open in 10 minutes. Finish harmonizing by then and start the trial. Voom.! The two unmoving portals started to vibrate. Teams of three I guess that information wasnt wrong, since two people Id never seen before walked out of those portals. Competition, this shit is really the 4th trial? A fully armored giant murmured with a scowl on his face. It looked like he just saw thest message that the tower sent. He also probably didnt know that this was actually the objective of this trial. Conversely, the woman challenger didnt seem very surprised. First things first. Shall we introduce ourselves? In fact, she took a look around and suggested that we exchange pleasantries. She seemed overly calm but that eliminated a need for small talk. Im Han Sungyeun. Nice to meet you. The woman flipped her hair back and replied. Im Lee Hayeon. Likewise. An eye-catching, cool beauty. Just one left. Therge man opened his mouth, almost reluctantly. Im Lee Sunghoon. Dont get in my way and we wont have any problems. Dont get in his way? It was an interesting introduction but we quickly switched the topic. Firstly, did anyone look up any information about the trial? Lee Hayeon replied calmly to Sunghoons question. Yeah, I used my questions to find out some extra information. Good. What did you find out? I used quite a few questions so I should know all the basics. Hm, I guess I didntpletely lose the teammate lottery. I felt simrly. That Lee Sunghoon guy seemed a little arrogant but didnt seem like a bad guy. These kinds of people are usually the strongest. It would be a pain in my ass if he was a permanent teammate but I can take this for a trial. Our paths would diverge after we cleared this trial. Lets reveal our abilities before getting started. Lee Sunghoon wanted to skip the small talk and discuss our abilities. That seemed like a given for people who need to work together. Lee Hayeon seemed a little hesitant but opened up. I have an exploration-based innate ability and I can use magic. Im not fit for close-rangebat. Lee Sunghoons eyes gleamed when he heard magic. He seemed a little dim, but even he knew how valuable mages were. Oh, a mage. What kind of magic can you use? Nothing offensive. I specialize in support magic. A mage who couldnt use offensive spells After hearing that, I finally opened my mouth. But you can use at least one offensive magic right? Even support mages should be able to use at least one attack spell. Although she probably wasnt lying about closebat due to herck of weapons There was no way she got up the tower without any offense. Although I couldnt say anything if she just said all her trials were some supporting ones She didnt look like she had any other way of fighting other than magic. Lee Hayeons eyes widened for a second and she admitted it. Its not much but I can also use some elemental magic. I could tell she was considering hiding it for a bit but she gave in. I understood why she wanted to hide it though. She probably thought that she might need to use a hidden skill in the worst-case scenario. The failure condition is the death of the entire team after all. That meant as long as you were alive, what happened to your team didnt matter. That also meant you couldnt do anything to them as long as they stayed alive. Theres a decent number of loopholes if you want to abuse it. She probably wanted to keep at least one thing hidden just in case. After all, anything could happen in the tower. You said youre a mage, but youre probably more fit in a supporter role. Lee Sunghoon didnt seem that interested in any of that. I also thought about what I should reveal before speaking up. I specialize in closebat and I have physical-enhancement-based innate ability. Just enough for them to work with me. I also wasnt lying about anything because my innate ability actually does strengthen my body. They didnt seem to doubt it because it matched my appearance. What a coincidence. Im also a closebat specialist with a mana resistance innate ability. Resistance Thats a pretty high quality innate ability. Its on a different level from the mid-level losers He smirked as he talked about himself. I guess I knew where his arrogance came from. Its because he has an innate ability like mana resistance. Mana resistance could help you resist all things involving mana like magic or mana-based skills. It synergized very well with those specializing in closebat. We should also reveal what our hunter ranks were in the outside world. He slipped that in as the corner of his mouth rose. I was a D rank hunter before I came here. Thats probably a good idea. I was an E rank. Not bad for a support. You must have been alright. I must have been. While Lee Hayeon brushed Sunghoon off, his attention now turned to me. I didnt even have a rank to reveal to them. Just 7 fruitless years as a trainee. I wasnt a hunter in the outside world, but I was a yer. I was preparing to be a hunter. Of course, I didnt mention that the preparation period was 7 years. Legit? As expected, his face contorted into a look of disapproval. Im still confident enough in my ability to fight. But he didnt even try to hear me out. Confident my ass. Just dont hold us back. He looked like he just lost a lottery. A familiar gaze. The only reaction I got beforeing into the tower. I guess you can at least be a meat shield if you can strengthen your body. Just his tone said that he didnt expect anything from me. I stayed quiet and stared at him. He must have taken my silence as eptance. Just stay in front of Lee Hayeon and follow my orders if you want to pass the trial. Lee Hayeon carefully opened her mouth. Well if he came up here, were all probably at the same power level. It was almost as if she was trying to calm me down, but I had no intention of replying. All that mattered in this tower was your strength. If he was qualified to talk to me like that, I had nothing to say. My pride was a small price to pay for my life. If he could prove his strength, it would be best to just y along with him Though if he couldnt, there was no reason for me to be treated like this. Ill find out soon enough. The citadels front door will open in 3 minutes. The trial would officially start soon. And Lets hear the information you found out using your questions. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. No point in talking back to him now. I wouldnt let him talk his way out if he ever got in the way or caused a problem. Even if he was a hunter in the past, if we were all reset at the beginning We shouldnt be too far off in strength. Some of the rewards and our innate abilities were probably a little different. But even then, we should all be around the same level More so since I found out how overpowered my innate ability was. Let me tell you whats going to happen after the doors open. It wasnt like anything that we havent faced before. Wed be fighting monsters off, same as usual. Also, wed have to get through the horde as fast as possible and kill the goblin chief. In these citadels, there are a total of 5 bosses and only 15 people can pass the trial. Only half of the 30 would survive. Each boss is targeted by two teams so we have a team against us. Thats not bad, there were only 3 people against us Six people going for the same objective. It was designed to be cruel. We would practically be murdering our opponents. Actually, they were essentially ordering us to take out the other team. Taking out the boss would be much easier if we took out the other team first. But Lee Sunghoon seemed to prefer it. I like how simple it is. We just have to kill it before they do. Well have to map the area out first. Didnt you say you had an exploration-based innate ability? Yep. Ill lead the way so the two of you can just protect me. You hear that trainee? Just stand in front of her. I just nodded my head. He definitely didnt like the fact that I didnt say anything, but he didnt point it out. More urately, he didnt have the chance. Time up. The citadel gates have opened and the monsters are pouring in. Find the target as soon as possible and kill it. Stand in the front. Lee Sunghoon dropped the conversation and took out his greatsword. I nodded again and stood in front of Lee Hayeon. Please just tell me where to go. Ill be in your care. She followed close behind and Lee Sunghoon guarded us from the rear. As soon as we stepped out KIEAAAKK! We only just started and this happened already? Monsters made their way through the stone buildings. Seeing an army of fully armed goblins made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Yep. No way the tower would have made this easy. I can lead the wayter. Lets get ready to fight first. I remembered that I didnt choose to go on a walk in the park This was the worst of the three difficulties hard. Chapter 15: Trial of Competition (4) Chapter 15: Trial of Competition (4) The battle began as soon as we stopped speaking. A group of 10 or so goblins swarmed towards us. KIEAAAK! A goblin with glowing yellow eyes leaped at me with a shriek. Its body was small, but it had a bunch of things dangling from his body. A poison dart, leather armor, arm guard, backup knife, etc Crude but still useful in battle. These goblins werepletely different from the norm. They even made the weakest goblin suitable for the hard difficulty. Swoosh! The rusted dagger in the goblins hand swung like the crescent moon. Much more refined swordsmanship than what I saw on thest floor. This was also not found normally in goblins. Except They have better techniques but still the same stats as a worker orc. Without even needing to concentrate, I read the path of the swing. ng! I bounced its attack effortlessly with my shield. No fancy skill or technique involved. Just an absolute difference in stats. Maybe thats why Puaat! The goblin couldnt even react until my dagger pierced its heart. What was the point of all the equipment he was hoarding? Well, I dont have to worry about it now. Lee Sunghoon in the back didnt seem to agree though. What kind of goblins move this systematically! He was barely blocking the attacks that I saw through. Tu-tu-tung! He was struggling to block the poison darts using his greatsword. His body barely fit behind the sword and his armor was taking the brunt of it. The first thought that popped up in my head was curiosity. Is he trying to y with the goblins? Of course, he would be idiotic to do something so inefficient. But that was the only exnation for what was happening in front of my eyes. This boastful bastard was struggling to deal with two goblins? My doubt turned into certainty at the sound of his screaming. What are you looking at? Go fight you degenerate! Hearing him yell without even looking up, I could only sigh at his ipetence. He was genuinely having a hard time with the goblins. I expected all of us to have a simr strength level. My innate ability was growth-based and I did get a lot of bonus rewards But we all cleared the same trials at the same difficulty, so I assumed that they had something simr. Yet reality wasnt all like it seemed. Lee Sunghoon wasnt even at my level, let alone stronger than me. I know theyre fully armed, but theyre still just goblins I wasnt even sure how they made it up all the way here. At this point, Lee Hayeon let out a strained squeak. If you canst a little longer, my spell will be Shut up and use a buff or something! Right now! He must have felt frustrated that he was just hiding behind his sword. I didnt think any buff was going to be enough to make him useful. I was bbergasted but I knew the solution to this. In the end, Id have to be the one to handle these goblins. Of course, I could just stay put and let Lee Hayeon handle it in a bit. That would be the safest option. Protect her cast while she casts buffs on Lee Sunghoon. Upholding this system should be enough to take all these goblins out But this trial had a time limit. And since we havepetition, the faster the better. We could all end up dying if we got held up for too long in the beginning. We would essentially be asking for them to kill us. Then there was only one problem left. Can I take care of them before they touch Lee Hayeon? I considered it for a bit but came to a swift conclusion. Excuse me. Even being generous, these goblins were barely as strong as the hunter orcs. I was at least pretty confident that I could take the attention off of Lee Hayeon. Huh? What are you She had a confused look on her face but I decided to ignore it. I had no intention of exining myself to her anyway. Kwong! More importantly, I pushed off the ground and hurled myself where the goblins were concentrated. The distance between myself and the goblins closed quickly and. Shuat! The frontmost goblins head flew in the air, spraying blood everywhere. The agility stat Id been absorbing was finally starting to shine. Goblins that noticed me started to shoot their darts at me in a panic. Needless to say, they were all blocked by my shield. The constant darts were annoying but it wasnt much to deal with. I just had to see the trajectory of the dart and put my shield up. It wasnt even that hard. Anyone could do it if they had high enough stats. Tu-tu-tung! I pped away more darts as I swung my sword. The Hunters Daggermanship skill made my movements more fluid and sharp. It was almost like I could see the path that my de should take. All the theories I knew about dagger techniques were happening in front of me in real-time. That alone already made the skill worth it. The goblins tried to resist it by holding up their arm guards. They must use those to halt the des and use that opportunity to dig into their opponents. Maybe not for blunt weapon users but they were tough for de wielders. That still didnt stop the swing of my de. The guard would normally stop any sharp weapon, but my dagger was a ranked item with the hunters daggermanship skill. I could tell that the small piece of steel wouldnt be enough to impede my dagger with 1.5 times the cutting force. My conviction turned into reality. Slit! With no resistance, I sliced through both the guard and its arm like butter. Pit! I shoved my dagger into the armless goblins neck and headed toward the others. Snip! Pit! Puaat! Goblin blood spurted at all angles with each swing of my arm. They would at least need some decent equipment if they wanted to stand a chance against me. Thankfully they emphasized quantity over quality. Just as I killed four more goblins Goblin yer achievement unlocked. A message appeared in the corner of my eye and lightened my body. This was the same system that gave me the heat resistance skill on the 2nd floor. Agility increased by 1. It didnt give me a skill likest time but it was still useful. There was no need to even track the poison darts and the weapons anymore. The goblins couldnt keep up with my newly gained agility. I was now taking these goblins lives in an instant. Pit! After about 8 goblins, they stoppeding at me. The battle was over. This should be the end of the wave. I caught my breath and observed my surroundings. I dont know when, but Lee Sunghoon also took care of two goblins. Of course, that was with the help of Lee Hayeons buffs. Something was off about the mood. Lee Sunghoons face was frozen solid and Lee Hayeon was staring at me with wide eyes. Snapping awake, Lee Sunghoon spoke first. N-not bad for a trainee. You must have gotten lucky, only facing the weak goblins. I couldnt even begin toprehend what he was saying for a second. Standing behind him, Lee Hayeon scowled. That doesnt seem right. It wasnt just luck. Lee Hayeon reluctantly spoke up but Lee Sunghoon didnt back down. Its not my fault he picked out the weaker one to fight. It was clearly all skill. I dont think you should talk about him like that. Lee Sunghoon eyed me from the side before opening his mouth again. What do you mean skill? It was just beginners luck. Beginners luck huh. Now I knew why he was staring at me so weirdly. Unlike him, who could barely fend off two, I killed eight. His pride must have been hurt. These kinds of people always act like this when they get hit in the face with reality. All the talented trainees reacted like this when they became hunters. They tried to bring down others to preserve their worth. I would have shrugged it off if this was the outside world. A 7-year trainee like me had no right to speak up But not anymore. Stop with all this luck and weak bullshit. If he was acting like this even after seeing the difference in our skill, Id give him exactly what he wanted. If he wants a hierarchy, hed get a hierarchy. W-what did you sa! He tried to respond with a red face but I was faster. Whatever you were blubbering about, shut the fuck up. Blubbering, when did I ever Telling me to be a meat shield because I was a trainee, getting lucky and facing weak goblins. I think Ive been patient enough with you. Honestly, that was the straw that broke the camels back. Isnt itughable that were in a life or death trial and here you are arguing with me? We barely have a day left and ourpetition is probably making their way to the boss as we speak. Lee Sunghoons face darken when I mentioned the wasted time. He must have felt at least a little guilty about it. If you n on being a dead weight, the least you can do is shut up. I stomped towards him. We dont fail if at least one person in the team stays alive. In other words, I was willing to kill him if he got in my way. Of course, I didnt really n on killing anyone, so it was more of a bluff. The threat seemed to work wonders on Lee Sunghoon. W-wha Voice yourints now if you have any. He flinched and stumbled back. Im d you dont have any problems. I mightve been going too far, but at least now he wouldnt look down on me. I looked him straight in the eye and made my final remarks. Hopefully we can work well together for the rest of the trial. It wasnt like he had a choice though. Chapter 16: Trial of Competition (5) Chapter 16: Trial of Competition (5) To Lee Sunghoon, the tower meant a fresh start. Compared to the promising novice he once was, the current Lee Sunghoon was a bird with a broken wing. While the others were facing reality, Lee Sunghoon always looked to the past. With a high-rank innate ability, even aiming to be an A-rank hunter wasnt a pipe dream. That was the peak of Lee Sunghoons mediocre life. But that was a story from a couple of months ago. He had stopped progressing after reaching the D-rank. Of course, even a D-rank hunter earned much more than an average person but Hed lost all of the perks that came with being a sought-after newbie. The rare mana resistance innate ability had amazing synergy with closebat. However, Lee Sunghoonsck of talent for battle was his downfall. Then one day, a strange hologram invited him to the tower. Tower of Trials has selected all suitable candidates from Earth. Please select your difficulty. Getting through the trials after all of your abilities had been reset. Although he liked that everyone elses abilities were reset as well, his favorite part was the rewards. The rare innate abilitybined with the resources the tower provided? With those, he could get stronger than he ever was outside the tower. Then after reaching 5th, no, the 8th floor, he could return to Earth safely. The hard difficulty was strenuous, but the rewards were worth it. When they said the 4th trials objective waspetition, he didnt think there would be anyone who could surpass him. But Whats happening? Lee Sunghoon sank his teeth into his lips as he stared at the man in front of him. Fear, anger, embarrassment A whole mix of emotions swirled inside him. Fuck. Youre just a trainee! Contrary to his internal turmoil, Lee Sunghoon couldnt act on anything. It was obvious. Unlike him, who struggled to deal with just 2 goblins, the man in front of him killed 8. All without getting any support from Lee Hayeon in the back. It crushed them with pure physical superiority. Those armed goblins were at least E-ranked and at most D-ranked. This man just told him that hed kill him before finishing the trial unless he faced reality. Hopefully we can work well together for the rest of the trial. *** Lee Sunghoon may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but he wasnt an idiot. The more stubborn he was, the more he stood to lose. He also couldnt ask Lee Hayeon for any help. She wasnt really on anyones side. Lee Hayeon was currently standing back and just looking at the two men back and forth. It was clear that her non-partisan stance wouldnt y favorably to Lee Sunghoon. Lee Sunghoon wouldnt waste their time any longer. He closed his mouth and stayed back. Well, he probably didnt have much to say against that. That was the only reason I didnt talk back to him in the beginning. I thought he might act out if he had a big enough ego but Im d hes not that stupid. In a timed trial, more conflict meant more time wasted. Especially if that trial had your life on the line. He probably also realized that this was a waste of time when he backed off. It also wouldnt make any logical sense for him to stand up against me after seeing our differences. Now that I was the unofficial leader of the team, it was time to put it to use. Ill go out and take care of the monsters, so just protect Lee Hayeon. He reluctantly opened his mouth. Okay. Anything else? He had a disrespectful tone as if it was his egos final stand. It didnt matter though. Id probably never see him again after this trial. Thats it. It shouldnt be too hard. And Miss Lee Hayeon You dont have to be so formal. Alright. All you have to do is tell us where to go and support us from the back. Okay. Ill resume examining the area. Hmm, I didnt expect Lee Hayeon to be nervous as well. It might be the fact that I just threatened to kill Lee Sunghoon. Well, theyre probably only cooperating because I didnt actually kill him. They were at least warier of me now. I didnt mean to be so forceful. It left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Although I didnt regret anything I did. If I kept dealing with his shit, it would have gotten out of hand fast. We didnt know where the other team was, but they probably werent having as much trouble as Lee Sunghoon. We would have been at a disadvantage if I left him in charge. At this point, Lee Hayeon raised her hand in a direction and spoke softly. I just used my ability and I think the boss is near the center of the city. You already found out where the boss is? I think so. The goblin king is currently at the center of the citadel. As are all of the other bosses. Do you think we could cross paths with any of the teams going for other bosses? Hm, the bosses are all far enough apart that that shouldnt happen. That meant any other challengers we see would be thepeting team. The tower always gave the trials and rewards in the most intuitive way, and this wasnt an exception. They want you to kill all monsters and challengers you run into. So simple even Lee Sunghoon could understand it. Can you figure out where the other challengers are? My innate ability isnt developed enough to detect other people. I also dont have enough mana for it. Then it wouldnt be possible to avoid them on our way to the goblin king. Yeah At least with my ability Lee Hayeons face darkened as she started to realize that murder was unavoidable. Lee Sunghoon didnt seem any more nervous than he already was. It wasnt a normal response. I didnt know what he did before he came to the tower, but he might have had some experience with manughter. There have been reports that some dungeon feuds end up in death. Thew couldnt do anything about whatever happened in the dungeon. If I was correct, I had to stay wary of him. He might stab me in the back. On the other hand, there was little to no chance that Lee Hayeon would turn against me. She didnt have muchbat potential and didnt seem to like Sunghoon very much. She wouldnt betray me if she wanted to stay alive. The inner city monsters have started mobilizing. Please kill the trials target quickly. The system seemed to tell us that it wouldnt wait any longer. It was time to act. I wanted to avoid murder to the best of my ability, but I wasnt counting on it. If it came to it, I would have to kill with my own two hands. Lets get moving then. But there were some things I had to take care of. Lets get in formation and? Lee Hayeon stared at me in confusion while I was in mid-sentence. Understandable. People normally dont walk up to goblin corpses. Uh, if youre trying to collect their cores, you wont be able to find any in the towers monsters. She informed me while still looking puzzled. It wasnt something I knew but I wasnt looking to find their cores. If I cant leave the tower, the cores wouldnt be particrly useful anyway. Give me a second. Theres something I gotta do. You have absorbed the souls of the goblin rangers. Number of souls in possession C 8/15 Proficiency increased by 11% Pretending to scalp the knives from the corpses, I absorbed all their souls. I wasnt able to absorb the two that Lee Sunghoon killed but It would be stranger if I could absorb the souls of the monsters that I didnt kill. I guess thats just how it was. Acquiring one of the goblin rangers skills. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul. Strength increased by 3. Agility increased by 4. Stamina increased by 2. Tenacity increased by 7. The skill absorption seems to work pretty well when there are multiple monsters. Acquiring Rangers Knowledge (F) It didnt strike me as something too useful but A skills a skill. It should be useful, no matter how low the rank was. Skill C Rangers Knowledge (F) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Gain a greater perception and more easily notice those who approach you. It was a simple skill, but it had a lot of uses. I didnt know what it meant to notice those who approach me, but I could definitely see the difference in my perception. Is this what it means to have a greater perception? All the objects in my line of sight were clear and in focus. Good thing it wasnt one of those skills that required some time to get used to. I picked up the backup knife one of the goblins had on their waist and handed it to Lee Hayeon. Take this. The quality isnt all that great but you can at least use it as a throwing knife. Ah Thank you, but it would probably be more useful in your hands. Im not very good at throwing anything. No, I cant throw either. Plus, I have no need for it. You might need it while youre fighting next to Lee Sunghoon. I was essentially telling her to hold on to it in case she needed to protect herself. She didnt resist any further and took the knife. Thank you. Ill try my best to make use of it. Its nothing. Its not even mine. Well, technically I won it in battle, but its better to keep it like this. A supporting mage was an important position. If she died, things would no doubt get worse. Plus, she tried to help me with Lee Sunghoon a moment ago. Besides, I could always just use the knife I bought from the store if I needed to. Well lets get going. It was time to finish the trial. Chapter 17: Return (1) Chapter 17: Return (1) Time left C 14 hrs 37min Late night, inner city of the citadel. The shining stars blended in with the beautiful night sky. Normally, it would be a sight to admire, but now wasnt the time. Kieeeeek! Puit! I shoved my dagger in the heart of the screaming goblin and twisted my body. Whoosh, tung! A giant club smashed the floor as I felt a cool breeze behind my head. I instantly took out a sword and swung my arm behind my back. Shaack! Kr, krrrg! Dammit, it didnt slice all the way through again. The one-handed fighting style wasnt bad, but it felt wasteful to throw away those long swords in a time like this. I swallowed my regret and finished the goblin off with a sh to the neck. The goblins head hit the floor with the sound of the cut. Maybe Id really be a monster, considering how moving like that didnt even phase me. I guess The goblins are done now. There have been two or so battles since then and every single one has been an overwhelming victory. However, Lee Sunghoon and Lee Hayeon didnt seem like they were having fun. Maybe not Lee Hayeon, who was buffing Lee Sunghoon to the point where he could survive, but Lee Sunghoon looked like he was going to die. Fuck, what is this bullshit Goblins shouldnt be this strong It sounded like Lee Sunghoon was having a hard time just fending them off from Lee Hayeon. Although he did have a point. Goblins werent typically this aggressive. Most people dont have trouble with goblins during the hunter exam as long as they dont get too scared Tiny body, low stats, almost no intelligence goblins had a lot of faults. They could barely use their own weapons and werent physically strong. They were only bothersome in a crowd. You have absorbed the soul of the goblin warrior. You have absorbed the soul of the goblin assassin. You have absorbed the soul of the goblin knight. Number of souls in possession C 8/15 Proficiency increased by 12% The goblins of the 4th floor each had a profession and those professions all had different properties. The goblin warriors wererger, the assassins knew assassination techniques, and the knights had clean swordsmanship as if it were using a skill. They probably do have some rted skills. The movements were far too sophisticated for them to not have one. Of course, things like that only worked when your opponent had simr stats. The stats I sapped from the goblins made it easier and easier to overpower them. I couldnt get any skills from them, but it wasnt for naught. At this rate, I thought we would reach the goblin king before the other team. But the thought remained a thought. The other two were taking twice as long as I was. I could excuse Lee Hayeon because she was casting buffs and examining the area, but Lee Sunghoon was the problem. One would think that he has some hidden skills from the way he was talking but He was basically dead weight. His innate ability was pretty useful, but that didnt make it special. Even if he were resistant to mana, he was nothing more than a moving meat wall. Unlike most hunters, he didnt seem to have that many skills. Plus, not having a single weapon skill was a big contributor to his ipetence. We probably wont fall behind the other team but I doubt we will get ahead of them. That meant I would have to make some preparations. I ignored Lee Sunghoons half-dead body panting on the ground and requested a conversation with Lee Hayeon. Can we go inside for a private conversation? I pointed to one of the abandoned houses as Lee Hayeon flinched. I didnt know why she was so tense but she even started stuttering. N-now? Yeah, I think now is the most appropriate time. I-I dont know if I can now We dont have a choice. The trial will go on soon. She had a dark look on her face for some reason but I didnt want to say anything here. The contents of the conversation may irritate Lee Sunghoon. I mean, by the looks of it, it probably seemed like I was going to rob her Ill just exin it when we get in there. I wasnt going to do something like that to a teammate who was pulling their weight. At least, not to a normal person. Hm maybe if they were like Lee Sunghoon. Lee Hayeon reluctantly agreed and nodded her head. Okay. But we cant stay too long. I know, the trial is still going on. She walked into the building with her head down. I followed her in and stopped in the living room. It was there where I finally opened my mouth. If wee face to face with the opposing team, can you use your buffs on me? Yes? It may sound selfish but I think it would be the best use of them in that situation. She seemed to be caught off guard. I no, its just thats what you wanted to say? She might be talking about getting robbed. No. Its not like I didnt have a conscience. Plus, I didnt really think I was in great need of items. I had my dagger and the cloak, and thats been enough. She took a deep breath and slowly nodded. She looked a little red from the misunderstanding. Ehem. It didntst very long and she turned back into her normalposed self. Okay but, well only be able to hold on for a little bit. That was something I expected. I know. All I need is an agility buff. Ill take care of everything else. Lee Sunghoon and Lee Hayeon wouldntst that long against the other team so we had to find another way to gain an advantage. Murder in the first trial I was clearing with other challengers. Lee Sunghoon wasnt much help and Lee Hayeon was suited for the backline. Hence, I was the only one who could do it. I should put as much pressure on them as possible with the buffs. Thats the best we could do. Lee Sunghoon probably wouldnt care for this but Hes not here so Lee Sunghoon was currently muttering beside a couple of goblin corpses. He wasnt even attempting to listen in on the conversation. Ill take care of as many of them as I can while you fend them off. So all I have to do is buff you from the back. Yeah. You dont have to prepare any offensive buffs if its too much. Just the agility one is fine. I can give you other types of buffs You can give all the non-agility ones to Lee Sunghoon. Hell need it to defend you. I couldnt monopolize the buffs if I wanted them to stay alive. Of course, he probably wouldnt like how hes being used right now But he probably wouldnt say anything unless something big came up. Even if Lee Sunghoonins, Ill handle it. I threatened him once, I could do it again. She stood there a little dazed, as if she didnt understand what I was saying. Why are you doing all this? You could just ignore us, but you? I wasnt sure. Im not a very calcting person, but I knew one thing. It was foolish to make more enemies for trivial reasons. People like Lee Sunghoon are fine as enemies, but it was best to minimize friction with other types of people. Lee Hayeon was a teammate at least deserving of that. Just think of it as a consideration for a teammate. She didnt press any further. Just a small smile. Good thing she wasnt as nervous anymore. Ill be in your care then. I stretched my hand out and she did the same. Likewise. It finally felt like I was on a proper team. *** We rejoined Lee Sunghoon outside and he tilted his head in confusion. He must have realized we were both gone. Did you guys go somewhere? We just had some business to take care of. Of course, he didnt ask any further and just turned the other way. I opened my mouth after seeing him quiet down. Alright then. Lets continue. Our teamwork had gotten better after fighting off the waves of goblins. We kept our formation and made our way inward. Toward the goblin king that Lee Hayeon detected. I kept my guard up as much as I could, and there was something strange. We were moving pretty fast but not a single goblin came out. There were goblinsing out regrly till now The goblins came in bigger and bigger waves. But it was so quiet that it felt as if that was all imagined. The other team must have passed by here already. Thats crazy, they got here faster than us? The floating goblin corpses in the fountain caught our eye. Heavily armed corpses lying all around. But it doesnt look like theyve been dead for too long. I spoke as I crouched down to touch the corpses. It wasnt that hard to figure out. It must be fresh because theres still heat left in the body. That meant they werent too far from here. We just missed them. They probably just entered the goblin kingsir. A message from the tower arrived at the same time. An intruder has infiltrated the tower. All the goblins around the area are being called towards the king. I didnt know how strong the king would be, but we didnt have any time to waste. It would get worse when all the goblins got here. Prepare for battle. Theres only one correct response to that. Were going in. The time to hunt just goblins was over. It was time to fight against the other challengers. Chapter 18: Return (2) Chapter 18: Return (2) A spiral tower stood in the center of the decrepit, partially-destroyed city. Five boss-level monsters reigned over each of their own territories within the city. This tower was special because it was where one of those boss monsters resided. The 4th trial will end if I take out whatevers in here. Former hunter, Lee Sieon, looked around with a scowl then started to speak. Hey, trash. A man standing behind Lee Sieon flinched at the phrase. Y-yes? Another man with sses grimaced at the slow response. Fucking trash even responds slowly. If you werent even a hunter you should at least know your ce. The man who was being called trash, Lee Jinhoo, apologized while cowering. I-Im sorry Sangyoon hyung-nim, Its my mista A mistake? God damn. Do you even realize where youre at right now? Im Sangyoon raised his sses with a finger and red at Lee Jinhoo. It didnt sit well with them that a civilian who was relying on the hunters to pass the trial was responding so slowly. But the threatening atmosphere didntst long. Whatever, are you sure the goblin king is in here? Im Sangyoon stepped back at Lee Sieons question and Lee Jinhoo quietly answered him. W-when I used my question, it said one of the bosses lived here And you dont know for sure its the goblin? Yeah Tsk, cant you think before you speak? If the only thing we fought on the way here were goblins, the boss would obviously be the goblin king. I-I see. So were sure the boss is here. Aftering to that conclusion, Lee Sieon looked around the tower. Wow, its pretty damn big. The city view was shocking enough but the interior design of the tower was also surprising. An oil painting perfectly suiting the atmosphere Glowing rocks ced around the tower gave the ce a dreamy aura. Even Lee Sieon, who had been a C-rank hunter, had never experienced anything like this. I dont know how this tower works, but it sure is impressive. The scenes from dungeons couldnt evenpare to this tower. Not only were the monsters in a league of their own, the equipment was interesting as well. Also The rewards dont evenpare to what you can get from a dungeon. As strong as the monsters were, the rewards made it worth it. If he could take this back into the outside world, it would be possible to get above a C-rank. Actually, I probably wouldnt even have to continue to be a hunter. The information Lee Sieon could provide would be priceless to the hunter association. He could make enough from the just information to be set for life. Whatever happened, things would work out for Lee Sieon. He felt a little apprehensive when all his abilities reset, but looking back, this was a very good opportunity. Of course, Lee Jinhoo couldnt even dream of that. Would keeping him aliveplicate thingster? If Lee Jinhoo went around spreading information, it would lower the value of his own information. Logically, it would make the most sense to kill him and take his items. Too bad he was such trash. It would have been better if he was a novice hunter or something Lee Sieon thought about what could have been, but he snapped out of it. Whatever. At least we got here without any problems. The good news was that the other team wasnt here yet. Theyd fail automatically once we killed the goblin king. Lets take care of the boss and get out of here. Sieon hyung-nim, what formation should we use? What else? You and I can stand in the back and the trash can take aggro from the front. You heard that? Lead the way. Okay. Lee Jinhoo stared up at the giant door with a depressed look. An all-epassing eye was engraved onto the door, staring him down. He could sense that the boss battle would start as soon as the door opened. Lee Jinhoo feared another life-threatening battle but If he resisted, the two behind could kill him. Lee Jinhoo shut his eyes and muttered. Im opening it now. And as his trembling hands inched towards the door Krrrroong. Lee Sieon and Im Sangyoon turned their heads at a sudden sound from the back. Thepeting team has entered the goblin kings spiral tower. At that moment, a message theyve never seen before appeared in front of their eyes. Requirement fulfilled. Special objective petition is starting. The boss battle cannot be begun until only one of the two teams is left. It is not possible to leave the current area. Bonus rewards will be calcted at thepletion of the special objective. Beyond the holographic message, blurry figures emerged. Lee Sieon squinted to get a clearer view of the man standing in the front. A ck hooded figure with a sword and a shield appeared to not be a goblin. And the system had already told him who that figure was. Damn. Lee Sieon cursed under his breath and took out his crossbow. He knew that it had been too easy to be true. Ha, fuck. Man, this is like the worst-case scenario. The other team had entered the tower. *** Special objective petition is starting. A message appeared as soon as they entered the ashy spiral tower. Special objective? It wasnt a type of message anyone had previously experienced. That means this was inherent to the tower of trials. What is I hesitated for a bit because I hadnt seen anything like this, even after entering the tower. But the objective of the trial waspetition so it made sense. I knew it wouldnt be this straightforward. The tower blocked off all other options. It was ying dirty, but this still wasnt something I hadnt expected from the tower. There are three enemies and they have a mage. The man with sses was wearing a luxurious robe holding a staff embedded with a blue orb. No matter how you looked at it, he was a mage. Just the fact that they had a backline was nerve-wracking. Mages were a rare resource after all. There was also a small trembling swordsman and a man holding a crossbow. They seemed to be more bnced than my team. The center of their team must be the guy with the crossbow. He had a more refined stance than the other two and, overall, just looked like he knew what he was doing. At least, he wasnt afraid to fight. Then Ha, fuck. Man, this is like the worst-case scenario. The man with the crossbow muttered under his breath and opened his eyes. The eyes couldnt be described as anything but those of a reptile. Yo, trash. Take care of the one that looks like an assassin. Just stall for time and dont do anything else. The man who was called trash didnt even have time to respond. That was because as soon as he finished speaking, the challenger with the crossbow took off. Koong. A low-pitched echo rang out as the man with the crossbow moved rapidly. Shik! A throwing knife? He pulled a knife from his thigh and threw it as if he didnt want to use the crossbow from the start. He must have had a weapons skill because the knife cut through the air with the sound of a hissing snake. However, my stats were at their peak from absorbing all kinds of goblins. I wouldnt get hit by this even if I wanted to. Ting! A petite swordsman closed in on me as I tilted my shield to block the knife. A-aaaaah! His clearly scared eyes were rejecting any form ofbat but That didnt stop him from running at me. No, he swung even more wildly in his tunnel vision. Chang! I didnt block it with a shield this time and instead deflected it with my sword. I guess that was just a distraction to let him get close to me. I had no intention of letting things go the way he nned. Using the recoil from the deflection, I nned to kill the swordsman and go after the crossbow dude. But his de flowed smoothly to almost forbid that from happening. Contrary to the fear-ridden eyes and trembling hands, his sword made a sharp and clean arc. He definitely had a sword-rted skill. Damn, thisplicates things. I couldnt be dyed with him any longer. Lee Hayeon, now! Okay! You have received Winds Blessing. While your agility is below 50, there is an extra status bonus. Agility is temporarily increased by +3. Time left C 00:09:59 For an instant, my body blended into the wind and my vision faltered. Combined with all the stats Ive been absorbing, I felt almost omnipotent. What the fuck Lee Sunghoon couldnt fight off the goblins with this? The swordsman shouldnt be able to follow my movements anymore. When I was sure, I lightly swung my obsidian dagger. But the enemy blocked my swing as if it wasughing at my assurance. Chang! The swordsman who couldnt even keep his hands steady somehow read and blocked my attack. Initially, I thought he was hiding his skill but quickly realized that wasnt the case. Innate ability! That was it. Like how I acquired Necromancy, this man also acquired something. I forgot about it because Id been oppressing monsters with my stats, but innate abilities could change the tide of the battle. I had to figure out what it was. I withdrew my sword and took a step back. Then I felt slightly relieved looking at Lee Sunghoon and Lee Hayeon fight. Seeing that he could block the arrows from the crossbow, it looks like Lee Sunghoons mana resistance innate ability wasnt just for show. Of course, hes using his greatsword and not a shield But he was doing better than I thought. The crossbow challenger also couldnt get in close because he was being wary of Lee Hayeon. Good thing the other teams mage is also a support. The man had an increased reload speed, shot speed, and agility. But Lee Sunghoons mana resistance was able to nullify some of the effects of the skills. Hed been moving fast and kiting from distance, but it didnt seem to be very effective. Theyde right in if they realized how weak he was but They cant press forward that strongly now. There are a lot of elements that could change the tide of the battle and I had the ability to change it. So I turned to the swordsman and focused my attention on him. Chang! He definitely doesnt have a buff that lets him keep up with my movements. Their mage didnt cast a single buff to their fragile swordsman. Maybe he was a decoy and they were going all-in on the crossbowman. Then the only thing keeping him alive was his innate ability. Ch-chang! Chang! Once I released a barrage of shes, he started fumbling. This would be the most effective way to figure out what his ability was. His moves would get simpler if he didnt get a chance to think about his moves. As I predicted, the swordsmans eyes moved before my sword did. ? Thats when I was able to figure out this mans innate ability. Damn, thats why hes able to block my attacks. He can see where Ill attack. Hes able to see the trajectory of my de and can swing his de even before I start attacking. After figuring out his innate ability, figuring out a way to get around it was instant. If his ability relies on sight then all I have to do is block his sight. Whoosh! I swung my shield like a frisbee and threw it at the swordsman. Its a little risky but its the only way! Flustered, the swordsman iled to hit the shield away and. ! A hole in his innate ability was exposed. With his line of vision blocked, I stepped in close and took another swing. Shuak! Blood sttered everywhere and in an instant, the entire hall froze. Everyone froze for a second and all stared at me. W-wha I don Wait, he couldnt even stall? They were wondering what I did to kill him that quickly. Enemies and allies alike looked at me in shock. And amongst the center of it all, I was horrified. It wasnt that I killed someone for the first time. I had already made the decision to do it and the enemy was also trying to do the same. The most shocking part was the message that appeared in front of me. Would you like to absorb the soul of the yer Lee Jinhoo? The ck fog over the falling corpse and the message above it was telling me. Holy Necromancy could absorb human souls. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Hyung-nim is a formal way for a Korean male to address another Korean male. Also, I think the story is starting to pick up eyyy Chapter 19: Return (3) Chapter 19: Return (3) It wasnt that I killed someone for the first time. I had already made up my mind to do it, and the enemy was trying to do the same. Of course, I was still a bit psychologically retracted But the following message took my mind off of that. Would you like to absorb the soul of the yer Lee Jinhoo? Necromancy. The innate ability I acquired after clearing the first trial. That ability was telling me that I could get stronger not only by killing monsters, but also other humans. This fact,bined with my first murder, shook myposure. If I absorbed this, Id be crossing a line that I couldnte back from. But that was only a temporary thought. I have to calm down. The fight isnt over. The special objective said that no one would be able to leave this area until only one team was left. Any more contemting could put my life at risk. I dashed past the message and threw myself into battle. Kuang! My body shot out like an arrow as I pushed it off the ground. Fuck, you fucking fuck! The crossbow challenger had a burst of outrage. Not at the fact that his teammate died Only because his bait was gone. It would be hard to stop me with a long-ranged damage dealer and a support. In addition to that, Lee Hayeon was in perfect shape, even if Lee Sunghoon was a tad ragged. They would have to use all their cards to change the flow of this battle. Click, thunk. Psst! I raised my left hand to block the arrow but the familiar weight in my hand was missing. The shield Oh yeah, I threw it. Going to pick up a shield while being focused on would practically be suicide. What would happen if I got hit with an unexpected innate ability while relying on my high stats? If they had a more offensive ability than reading trajectories, it was obvious what would happen to me. It would be toote to think about this at that point. I had to turn this into an opportunity. After the resolution, I thrust forward even faster. It was toote to go for the shield now, Id just have to trust the sword in my right hand. Shhhft! I tilted my head to narrowly dodge the shot. My heart thundered and my entire body heated up as I realized there was nothing to cover my body. Theck of the shield left me both physically and psychologically exposed. I had to keep it cool. Calmly, without being too conscientious. Being shaken now could lead to my downfall. My opponent also saw this as an opportunity and continued to shoot. Psst! Two staggered daggers darted towards me at an instant. The clearly refined high-tier skill sent shivers down my spine. Maybe it was due to all the adrenaline, but it was as if time had slowed down and my vision widened. Combined with the increased awareness from the new skill, I could see what they were scheming. This was just a ploy to trap me to restrict my speed. Hes waiting for the moment I dodge the daggers to shoot his crossbow If I got shot by an arrow now, it would be critical no matter where itnded. There was only one answer to this. Precisely deflect the oing daggers! I slightly raised my sword and mmed the handle of the dagger heading for my abdomen. Tang! In one smooth motion, I also parried the dagger approaching my left eye. Chang! I almost let out a howl of victory as the sound of metal hitting metal rang in the room. I did it! But I had no time to give myself a pat on the back. As I elerated towards the man with the crossbow, my opponent stretched his hands out to me and uttered these words. Snakes Binding! My legs froze as they were about to push off the ground. Due to the effects of the innate ability Snakes Binding, your movement is restricted for 10 seconds. After 5 seconds, the restriction to your movement will weaken. It was as if a king cobra was squeezing my whole body. As I expected, he pulled out his final resort. But the problem is that this ability was super effective against me. I tried to struggle out of it but it was no use. A restriction type innate ability! It was the worst kind. I expected that he would use one, but I didnt expect it to be this. An Achilles heel for someone with mybat style. He seemed to know this as he smirked and opened his mouth. Thats what I thought, you bastard! Im Sangyoon, shoot him now! The man who I presumed to be Im Sangyoon pointed his staff at me as an arrow of ice formed. No casting. Its another innate ability! The arrows made from white ice were emitting a conspicuous aura. It was obvious that those arrows would pierce straight through me. Even with the tenacity I gained from the Elixir of Steel, it wouldnt strengthen my skin immediately. I pulled on every fiber of my muscles, but it was to no avail. Dammit, there has to be a way to get out! The arrows pierced through the empty void before I had any chance to think. Phing! An attack I couldnt dodge or block, but all my senses were heightened. 1sec, 2sec, 3sec My muscles squirmed as I counted the seconds down. When I realized there was no way to get out of this, I gave up on breaking free from this. And instead I poured all my strength into my legs, waiting for the moment the restrictions weakened. Argghh The effects of the binding have weakened. The squirming muscles moved all of the sudden and my body fell backward. And in that instant, the arrows flew past my eyes in the space where I used to stand. The system said the effects were weakened, but it was still no joke. It was like a thousand pounds crushing down my shoulders. What kind of innate ability If it wasnt for my overwhelmingly high stats, there would be a hole through my head already. I finally realized why this was the trial ofpetition and how important teamwork was. This fucking tower gave a huge handicap to solo yers. At the same time, I felt cheated. I mean, the only people on my team are apass and a meat shield, and they get a whole team with offensive innate abilities? Why did this only happen to my team? If only I had someone toin to Using the Assassins Cloak(C)s active ability. Movement speed +15% Activation time left C 00:00:59 Wha- Wait! L-lets talk! I didnt do it on purpose! I was slower than before, so the crossbow challenger had some time to react. But we tried to kill each other and there was no mistake in that. I couldnt let my guard down listening to his excuses. As he fumbled to load another arrow into his crossbow, I cut his head off. Shuat! Would you like to absorb the soul of the yer Lee Sieon? The ck fog and message notified me of his death. Plumph. The man in sses looked in horror as the decapitated corpse copsed in front of him. U-uhh, a-ahhhh! Feebly wiping the blood off his sses, Im Sangyoons entire body trembled. His hands, legs, and even his teeth cked enough to fill the empty room. Id confirmed that his innate ability, magic, and skills werent a threat to me. He was only strong with a team. I flicked my arm to get the blood off and turned my head. And there, a terrified Lee Hayeon and retracted Lee Sunghoon stared at me. The battle was over and no one on our team seemed to have sustained any injuries. Maybe the big cut on Lee Sunghoons arm, but itd go away once he was in the waiting area. It didnt look like something that would bother him in battle. At least we didnt lose any power. I was worried that he might not be able to pull his weight in the boss battle, but it should be fine. My teammates still seemed to be in shock, but I had to decide What we would do with Im Sangyoon. P-p-please let me live Youre not a murderer right? Maybe he determined that he couldnt win because hed lost hisst teammate. He begged for his life as he trembled like a leaf. We, we, we can go back to Earth right? Ill give you all my money. I-I have a lot of money. I-I was a hunter. You can scrape like $500k from me. I see. R-really? If you just let me live! You know I cant do that. Im Sangyoons face crinkled. The special objective said that no one could get out until only one team was left. Y-you dont know that. Maybe theres another way. No there isnt. Thats why you tried to kill me too. And even if there was Why should I let someone who tried to kill me go? He almost killed me and wouldnt be much help in the uing boss battle. Ivee too far to feel guilt. It was toote to be a saint. Damn. I didnt even know what to say. A dirty feeling was swallowing me as if I was in a puddle of quicksand. The lukewarm blood dripping down my arm only cemented that feeling. I wasnt a saint, but I wasnt a cold-blooded serial killer either. Standing between that line made me feel shitty. Status window, skills, stats A lot of things changed after the Great Cmity, but it didnt affect ones individual choices. Kill people for bonus rewards? Hunters hunt monsters, not people. Then how would I differ from the monsters that killed my parents? The reason I became a yer 7 years ago was to kill monsters. Not this. I wanted to kill monsters and reduce the number of people who would be affected by them. But the tower didnt seem to care about any of that. Trials, rewards, and growth. I wasing to know what the tower expected and wanted from us. I wasnt an evil person, but I wasnt good enough to let people get in my way. I gripped my obsidian dagger and stomped closer to the panicked Im Sangyoon. D-donte! L-lets talk this ou I sliced his neck open without listening to another word. Shhhk A new message appeared. Congrattions, youve cleared the special objective. Bonus rewards being calcted into the 4th trials rewards. I stared at that message silently for a while. The shield, I gotta pick up my shield. I grabbed the shield from the floor and re-equipped it. I turned back to face my team. Its over. Lets get ready to fight the boss. Lee Hayeon and Lee Sunghoon studied my facial expression. ? I knew I didnt have the best expression right now, but they kept flinching for some reason. I didnt want to show this face to anyone else either but I guess it doesnt matter. I couldnt hide it even if I wanted to. Um are you alright? Lee Hayeon delicately asked how I was. Im fine. Truthfully, I wasnt. But what else could I say? Okay. Should we go in now? Lee Hayeon didnt probe any further. Lee Sunghoon also looked at me and carefully made a suggestion. Im not too hurt so we can go in now. Im fine too. We finished our conversation and moved to the giant door with the eye on it. I hesitated when walking by the corpses with the necromancy message on them, but Id put that decision on hold. I had killed some people, but I didnt have the resolve to absorb their souls as well. I still need some time to think. Of course, I may not have a choice But at least right now, I wasnt psychologically ready for it yet. If I absorbed a human soul right now, whats left of my mentality would probably shatter. I could alwayse back after. As long as I didnt go through the portal after the trial ended. All I needed was some time to calm my nerves. Then Id be able to make a logical decision. I put my hands on the door and began to speak. Im opening it now. And You have entered the goblin kings chamber. I could finally see the end of this trial. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! My team also always sucks in ranked games. Chapter 20: Return (4) Chapter 20: Return (4) m! The giant monster wearing a crown staggered while copsing to the ground. You have defeated the trial objective, the goblin king. The tower informed us of thepletion and Would you like to absorb the soul of the goblin king? The ck fog above the corpse confirmed the death of the goblin king. I imed my victory while heaving for air. I won. It was underwhelmingpared to fighting off the other challengers. The goblin king didnt have any skills to bind me, nor could he read the trajectory of my attacks. All he could do was swing his club and decimate everything in his way. I was dancing circles around him with the buffs, and was taking all the aggro while dealing all the damage. The only thing you could call teamwork was the buffs that Lee Hayeon gave me. Of course, this was how it was during the entire 4th trial, so I was used to it. And the result was this nonchnt victory. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 4. As a reward, you have received unlock innate ability. As a reward, all your stats have been increased by +4. As a reward, you have received 5,500 points. As a bonus reward, you have received the skill Instant eleration (D) As a bonus reward, you have received 2,000 points. Please move to the waiting area. Moving to the waiting room. My body instantly felt lighter, reflecting the stat changes. In terms of utility, that reward was just as good as a skill or an item. Higher base stats meant being able to do more things. Rewards are good. It was worth going through the damn trial. Voom! A portal appeared in front of the giant throne the goblin king once sat on. Yes, that was it. This was how the 4th trial ended. But My thoughts were still jumbled in my head like a tangled ball of wire. Im sorry but am I free to go? Lee Sunghoon quietly asked an uncharacteristically respectful question. Why are you asking me that? You can just go. W-well, Ill head out. Voom! I guess that was the end of our rtionship. There was still another hunter standing behind me without moving. It was Lee Hayeon. Do you have anything to say? Once I asked, she responded immediately. I know I may be overstepping my bounds but you did what you had to do. Did I? Yeah. Someone had to do it and if you hadnt, I would have. Im d you think that way. It was obvious what she was talking about. Murder, and some morally gray acts of threatening Lee Sunghoon. Looking back, I was a cold-blooded bastard during the entire trial. I was acting with a tiny bit of conscience, but only for my own benefit. Because I didnt want to resort to murder unless I had no choice. Youre strong. Even if you were only a yer outside, you were probably strong. That stung a little. Eh, not really. I just got insanely strong after entering the tower. Out of nowhere, Lee Hayeon tapped the empty space in front of her. ? I didnt understand what she was doing for a while, but it was soon made clear. Challenger Lee Hayeon has sent you a friend request. It was one of the features of themunity. I forgot about it because I thought Id never have a use for it but I was speechless for a second. Lee Hayeon noticed this and quickly backpedaled her preposition. Uh, um, you can ignore it if youd like. No. its not like that. I was just wondering why you sent something like this to me. Well, you basically single-handedly cleared the trial for us, and I wanted to give you some sort ofpensation. If you ever get back to Earth, look for Lee Hayeon of the White Silver guild. Oh, if youre trying to recruit me N-no its not like that! Its just if you need anything at all. I couldnt help but smile at her fumbling. She had a stoic face the entire time, so it was nice to see this side of her. We can help you connect with guilds, merchants, hunters, dungeons whatever you might need. Our guild specializes in that. And of course, we can do it free of charge. I nodded at her salesman-like pitch. Honestly, it was an attractive offer and I didnt want to reject her thanks. And I dont know if shes trying to use me or not, but I can figure that outter. I wasnt so thoughtless that I couldnt tell the difference between good and ill will. Okay. Ill leave a message if I can. Youve epted the friend request from challenger Lee Hayeon. A bashful smile appeared on her face as she read the message. This one seemed genuinepared to the distanced smiles from before. Ill be heading out now too. Get to the 8th floor safely. Okay. I wish you a safe climb up as well. Voom! The silence was deafening after the smiling hunter entered the portal. To be honest, I was thankful to this tower. The tower was the one that gave me, someone with nothing, a second chance. But the tower pushed people to the limits. The life-threatening battles, and now, murder. Fighting the monsters wasnt that bad. It pushed people just enough for them to survive and grow. I was on a high from the rewards Id been receiving. But I could finally distance myself from all of this and see everything in a more objective light. I was just blinded by all the rewards the tower had been dangling in front of me. The tower of trials didnt just make people stronger in a normal manner. However After experiencing this ruthlessness, I still didnt want to stop. For the first time in my life, I wanted something more than to be just a hunter. I wanted to climb the tower. A part of me craved to get stronger, but it was also because this tower was the closest thing to the Great Cmity. Where monsters came from, and why gates appear. I had a feeling that Id find out more about what happened to the world as I climbed the tower Above all, it was because I knew that whoever adapted the fastest was the one who survived the cmity. Of course There are also other things to be earned from here. One merit was that I could get infinitely stronger here. No matter what it was, the tower gave me a chance to grow stronger and I was going to take it. Even if it meant crushing others to do so And from the 8th floor, I wouldnt be hesitant to climb up anymore. Because everyone who remained would have done so of their own volition. So first, I decided to absorb all of the souls in the tower. You have absorbed the soul of the goblin king. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Lee Jinhoo. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Lee Sieon. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Im Sangyoon. Shaaa! All of the fog spiraled into my palm to be absorbed. I wouldnt kill just to get stronger, but I would if the situation forced me to. It was toote to have any qualms about that anyway. I can digest these soulster. Once I absorbed all the souls, I headed to the portal. Moving to the waiting room. I could always check the rewardster. It was time to heal up first. *** You have entered the 5th floor waiting room. Healing all injuries and status ailments. The healing effect is constantly applied in the waiting room. The familiar messages greeted me again. But the following messages werent something Ive seen yet. More than a thousand people have cleared the 5th trial. The system expansion is starting. A system that ranks trial clears, Trial Evaluation is being created. New categories are being added to the marketce. More items are now avable in the marketce. You are now able to change your nickname. A system expansion. Like we figured out previously, the expansion was finally starting. I knew it was going to happen, but it still felt surprising. It felt like it was only yesterday when I was putting my life at risk to kill the sand golem I guess I got stronger pretty quickly. Slightly nostalgic, I checked out the newly expanded system. Trial Evaluation. Upon themand, a decorated hologram appeared in front of me. 4th Trial Evaluations Fairly intuitive. Clicking the name at the top of the board expanded the details. Is this record humanly possible? I mean, what? How did he clear the trial in 34 minutes? It was a name I recognized from themunity, and he was stronger than I had imagined. There was too much coincidence for it to be someone with the same name. I guess this is the power of actual hunters. An existence that C and D-rank hunters couldnt even fathom. I knew he was a high rank from the way he spoke, but I didnt know this was his level. As I continued down the leaderboard, something caught my eye. Originally, you could only use your real name in the tower. So it was obviously unexpected to see a name like that. Oh yeah, it did say! The system had mentioned something about the nickname. I pushed away the leaderboard and connected to themunity to see some new text. Name Change A popup window opened as I clicked on the text. Please write your preferred nickname. If I was able to change my name, I had to do it now. In trials like the 4th one where leaked information could be vital, revealing your name could put you at a disadvantage. And people like Lee Sunghoon can try to track me down. That could prove to be annoying. I contemted for a bit and just wrote the first thing that came into my mind. Your nickname is now Hunter. I didnt put much thought into it, but I was satisfied with it. There wasnt any information they could deduce from that. Well, it was perfect forying low. Phew. It was time to look at the leaderboard again. I wonder if Im also there? Slowly, I made my way down the board to not miss anything. And I soon found what I was looking for. It was higher than I thought, but what surprised me was the next message. All challengers in the top 50 are designated as Pioneers. Challengers who continue to be in the top 50 until the 8th floor receive a chance to acquire a radiance. Radiance? I think that means some sort of light? It was very unorthodoxpared to all the direct wording the tower usually used. Is it going to be some sort of skill or Or is it something that would make me stand out more? That was the only way I could interpret it. Hm, Ill figure it outter. It was now time to look at the expanded marketce. There was only one thing I was looking for. The return stone. I had to know how much it would cost to return to Earth. It was easy to find once I used the search bar. I couldnt help but flinch after seeing the price. Return Stone (F) Price C 500 points Exnation C An item that allows you to escape the Tower of Trials and return to Earth for 3 days. Isnt this a little too cheap? Even if the effects were only temporary, the price still bbergasted me. I shouldnt even have to think about this. If it let me return for 3 days, there was no reason to not buy it. I had so many things to take care of since Id been gone. You have purchased a Return Stone (F). My trip home was faster than I expected. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! This man reads these system messages like I read the terms and service and acts surprised. Chapter 21: Hunter Han Sungyeun (1) Chapter 21: Hunter Han Sungyeun (1) You have purchased a Return Stone (F). The red stone that I expected suddenly appeared in front of me. Return Stone Grade: F- An item that can only be bought by challengers whove reached the 5th floor. It is indestructible and returns the user to their original location when they emit mana into it. The user returns to the floor they were originally on in the Tower of Trials. 3 days can be short or long depending on how you look at it, but the important part was return. It doesnt matter if I can get back to Earth. There wasnt anyone whod worry about me, but I still wanted to go back. Who wouldnt? The tower controlled everything from what you could wear to what you could eat. I cant even take a proper shower and all my clothes are tattered now. I hid it to the best of my ability with my cloak but I would pass for a homeless man in this state. Also Theres a couple of things I have to take care of there You could call it preparation. Id just take care of all the things that could bite me in the asster. I mean, there was no real reason to not go back. Especially if it only cost 500 points to go back. But I didnt use the item immediately. I have to check my rewards. I couldnt miss out on things like that. Ignoring the messages about the points, I looked at the skill I had received as a bonus reward. Skill C Instant eleration (D) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Upon dering the skill name, one can use mana to temporarily elerate their body. Its my first active skill, not bad. Besides the items, Id never used an active skill before. Regeneration, resistances, weapon skills, knowledge Id acquired a lot of skills recently but they were all passive. But active skills can only be activated at the users will. Kind of like the binding skill that the crossbow challenger Lee Sieon used. And dering the skill name doesnt just apply to saying it. From what I heard, you could use the skill just by thinking about it once you were used to it. Same case for active innate abilities. Of course, innate abilities could have wildly different activation requirements. Instant eleration it had a decent effect with a pretty high base rank. Ill make sure to incorporate it while Im training. Itd also probably work well with my agility stat. Han Sungyeun Strength C 47 Stamina C 44 Agility C 48(+5) Mana C 32 Tenacity C 28 Innate ability C Necromancy (E) Skill C See details The stat window quantified exactly how much stronger I had gotten. The skills arent even listed out anymore. It was probably because I had too many of them, but it was still cool to see. I couldnt keep my smirk down at the thought of having too many skills to list out. Most monsters didnt increase my stats by much anymore, but I made it work with the sheer quantity. The only thing that needed improvement is the tenacity stat. It did increase rtively quickly because of the low base number, but it was still too lowpared to my other stats. It couldnt even surpass my mana, the lowest stat. I was decently satisfied as I activated necromancy. Select a soul to absorb from the souls in captivity. Number of souls in possession C 4/15 yer Lee Sieon yer Lee Jinhoo yer Im Sangyoon Goblin King I was putting it off, but I have no reason to not absorb the human souls I collected. These souls were a part of the rewards that I fought for fair and square. If I didnt use them because of my morals? That only debilitates me. The only reason I was able topete with any of these hunters was because of my necromancy. To be frank, I was essentially closer to a normal civilian without it. My impressive stats, and all of those skills They were all from my necromancy. I cant afford to be picky here. I proceeded to absorb the souls without hesitation. Maybe Ill get a skill from one of them if I get lucky. It was a possibility, like how I got physical resistance from the doppelganger. The highly-anticipated message appeared after a couple of seconds. Acquiring one of the skills held by yer Lee Jinhoo. Despite the low odds, another skill absorption message popped up. I wanted to howl with joy, but the changes in my body came first. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls. Strength increased by 5. Agility increased by 3. Stamina increased by 4. Mana increased by 6. Tenacity increased by 8. Far more effective than absorbing the goblins. Status. Han Sungyeun Strength C 52 Stamina C 48 Agility C 51 Mana C 38 Tenacity C 36 Innate ability C Necromancy (E) Skill C See details The rewards werent bad but it was a littlecking. The +5 bonus from the assassins cloak had disappeared. My base agility finally went above 50. But you win some, you lose some. Acquiring the skill Sustain Battle (F) Upon seeing that message, I navigated to the bottom of my stat window and pressed See details. From there, I clicked on the newly generated Sustain Battle skill. Skill C Sustain Battle (F) Proficiency C 0% Effect C If appraised to have taken a deathly attack, all restrictions to movement are weakened for 1 minute. A well-known skill among hunters. If you asked any hunter how to obtain this skill, theyd tell you off the top of their head. Since it activated right before death, so it left a strong impression in my mind. The requirement to obtain it is oveing at least ten life-threatening battles. The number of battles depended on your knack for it, but that was the gist. The effect was astonishing. Whether it was from poison or bound by a skill, all restrictions to movement were weakened. Of course, it didntpletely counteract those effects But the higher the rank, the longer the skillsts and the weaker the rebound bes. A lot of people couldnt learn it because of the harsh requirement. Only those who threw themselves into dangerous battles ever saw a glimpse of this skill. There were only two types of people who had the skill. Veteran hunters who naturally umted experience, and battle-crazed maniacs who live for battle. It may have not been intentional, but Lee Jinhoo was probably part of thetter group. What kinds of trials did he face to have been so close to death? I hadnt been through 10 of those battles yet. That Lee Jinhoo must have had something different. Although, its strange that he was so frightened with a skill like this. Well, its not worth thinking harder about. Either way, Id gained more than Id lost from that interaction. Now all that was left was to use the return stone and buy some equipment. Hm, can I take the equipment I bought here back to Earth? If I could, Id never have to worry about money again. Just selling an E-grade item would be immense. But when I came to the tower, I lost everything besides my clothes. Id still hold on to some items in my hand while I went back, but I didnt know if it would work. Worrying about it wont solve anything. I might as well go back to Earth now. I at least wanted to clean myself up a bit. Take a proper shower, eat a proper meal, and get some proper rest. I also wanted to get my money back from the training gym. Just because I got stronger didnt mean that anything changed about the outside world. An ipetent yer barely surviving off of part-time jobs. Getting back the 7 years of fees would be important right now. $35,000 wasnt a small sum. I have to save as much as possible right now. If I didnt have enough points, Id have just stayed and forgot about the money. But frankly, I had more than afortable amount of points to buy all the equipment I needed. Maybe its because of the special objective, but its a decent amount of points. Basically, I had more than enough to go back to Earth. Also Itll be more worth it if I take care of some other business at the same time. I pushed some mana into the stone I had been fidgeting with in my hands. Challenger Han Sungyeun, confirming intention to return. Consuming the Return Stone to return to Earth. At that moment, my world turned ck. *** My heart sank as soon as I opened my eyes. A familiar ceiling, and the same old studio as I turned my head. Post-its with all kinds of information stood out from the room. I had copied them down by hand to pound the knowledge into my head. For an instant, I thought I had just imagined the whole Tower of Trials thing. A fear that everything I had worked for was nothing but a figment of my imagination. But Returned to challenger Han Sungyeuns residence. The negative thoughts were pushed aside by the intruding message. And the next few messages prompted me to get moving. Returning to the tower after 3 days. We wish the challenger a satisfactory time. I had to take care of all my business within their time limits. Stingy. As I lifted myself off the bed, something bumped into my hand. Tak. No, wait. I stared nkly at what I just bumped into. Why is this here? A jet-ck knife and handle, clearly a masterpiece. The obsidian dagger I received as a trial reward wasying on my desk. And on the left side, the deadwood I was holdingy there. No way. I snagged at the bedsheets to find another kind of fabric on them. The item Id been using since the 2nd trial, assassins cloak. Contrary to my belief, I was able to carry all of my items back with me. I was flustered for a second, but I decided that it was just a little gift from the tower. I guess thats one more thing on my to-do list. There were several things that I needed to take care of. I lifted the deadwood shield and let out a smile. I thought I might need a little more money. Time to make some big bucks. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! If that was me Idy in bed for 5 minutes andin that 3 days already passed Chapter 22: Hunter Han Sungyeun (2) Chapter 22: Hunter Han Sungyeun (2) After neatlyying out all the items. I tested the towersmands one at a time. I was optimistic that themands might work since the items I bought with points transferred over as well. But Yeah, of course they dont work. Trial, info,munity, marketce, inventory Nothing worked so I soon gave up. Well, it would have been weirder if any of them worked. Even if only the inventory worked, the benefits would have been enormous. I cut my losses and picked an outfit from the closet. There was no way I could stand the stench and filthing from myself anymore. Im surprised that Isted this long. It was something aplished after I set out to conserve as many points as possible. I jumped into the shower and turned the dial to the hottest temperature. Squeezing out every bottle within my reach, I scrubbed my body to get the dry blood off. Even after two hours, the distinct aroma remained. After the wash, I dried my hair with a towel and stared at myself in the mirror. The muscles that were previously hiding behind theyer of fat were now in the spotlight. The changes to my stats manifested into these marble-sculpted muscles. Hm, so this is what I look like. It was hard to tell since I could never get a good look at myself, but it was bizarre to see it in person. I was already a veteran hunter appearance wise. Although in reality, it was built with a series of short battles. At least it looks good. I felt a little self indulgent as I dressed myself. It wasnt luxurious in any way, but this bed was so much better than the one in the waiting area. And frankly, this alone made the 500 points worth it. Wow, Ive never been morefortable in my life. Even if it was just taking a shower andying on a cushy bed. I was never able to rx to this extent in the tower. Id be satisfied by justying here and eating all kinds of delivery foods. But this wasnt enough to break my will. Even if it was dangling in front of me like a carrot on a stick, I knew how to control myself. Lets organize everything I need to do first. Stillid back, staring at the ceiling, I started formting a n. There were three major reasons why I came back to Earth. One, to relieve some psychological stress and take time to charge back up. Two, to get my refund from the yer training center. Three, to prove my qualifications as a hunter and get a better standing in life. Technically, the third one is the most important. The third reason I came back was to take the hunter exam. To get the license to go into dungeons and hunt monsters. Thats what I came to get. It was the only thing that drove me for the past 7 years. Plus, just getting the license would be helpful in general. I can definitely pass the exam right now. I beat the challengers who used to be hunters, and the exam shouldnt be any different. The question was what rank Id be ced in. In the hunter exam, the highest one could be ranked was C. Im also curious to see where I rank There were also a lot of benefits that came along with it. Id be able to officially put my items for sale and get ess to gates. If anyone asked if this was important enough toe back to Earth for, Id answer immediately. I wasnt the only one who was summoned to the Tower of Trials. There were other yers, civilians, and even professional hunters. Since there were more people reaching the 5th floor, more information about the tower would be revealed. It would be nice to be a hunter before all of that goes down. Hunters had ess to so much more information in every aspectpared to a normal person. The association would overflow with applications by then. If enough civilians survived, they would all be eligible hunters. That was inevitable. I need the hunter license to at least sell all my items. When ordinary people try to sell hunter items, there tends to be a lot of fees and they get scammed a lot. But hunters didnt have that kind of disadvantage. Why? Because no one knows more about these items than hunters. To begin with, they were treated differently. If a trainee was to put something up for sale, there was a big chance of getting scammed. And even if they didnt, the high fees would take away most of the profits. Ill apply to the hunter exam online first Then I contemted what to do next. Grrrwl. .Oh yeah, I have to take care of this too. I smiled at the noiseing from my stomach and got up from the bed. I was sick and tired of eating jerky. Since I was presentable enough, nothing was holding me back from going out. Theres a bunch of things I wanted to eat once I got back here anyway. *** Chicken, soda, pizza, burgers, Korean barbecue There were so many things I wanted to eat in the tower. Human beings are gluttonous by nature, so it was no surprise that thats where my attention went. Of course, I forced myself to survive on the beef jerky with pure willpower But There was nothing I wanted more than this. I stared at the tender chunks of pork swimming in the steaming clear broth. It was a traditional gukbap* restaurant near my apartment. Chicken and pizza all sounded good, but nothing could beat this. Id rather down a piping hot bowl of pork gukbap. Stirring the sauce into the bowl, I took a hearty bite of what could only be described as heavenly. When the perfectbination of spicy and hot soup slid down my throat. Kaaaah. A moan of ecstasy inadvertently came out of my mouth. Once I dipped a spoonful of rice into the soup and put it in my mouth, I couldnt resist anymore. My head went empty as I shoved down the rest of the bowl down my throat. After two more bowls, I finally felt satisfied. I felt myself slipping into a fooda, but I shook myself awake and took out my wallet to pay for the meal. Oh, and the wallet I thought had disappeared when I was transferred to the tower was on the floor next to the bed. Same with my smartphone. The battery was a little low, but it was still usable. Phew, Im so full. My thoughts were finally starting to organize themselves now that my stomach was full. Hm, my next order of business is Going to the training center for my refund. As big of a name the center was, I poured a lot of money into there. It would be a waste to not get it back. But thinking about it a little harder, it might be more worth it to not get it back. Of course, it wasnt because of the little pride I had left. Wouldnt it be easier to make use of the gyms name? yers in dedicated hunter training centers got a fast pass to take the exam. This center was no exception. Normally, you could only take the hunter exam a day or two after applying for it. Then I wont be able to utilize my time here as effectively as possible. But if I applied through a center, Id be able to skip all the paperwork and the written exam and just take the practical. Of course, youd still need to show an impressive amount of skill to pass but I didnt think that would be a problem for me. Hm, what should I do? There wasnt a good reason to be desperate for the money now that I knew I could sell the items from the tower. I dont want to let the center keep my money but whatever. Like with necromancy, I was the only one whod be hindered by not using it. And time was a precious resource at this point. I couldnt afford to waste any more of it. Ill use everything in my arsenal to prepare to go back to the tower. Ring-ring. After I decided my course of action, I acted fast. A couple of ringster, a low voice answered the call. I smirked after hearing the hostility in his voice. Yeah its me, do you remember me, manager? I sensed annoyance and contempt in his tone, but that didnt matter. I changed my mind. I dont need that refund anymore. Im not nning on it, but I want to ask for a favor. Help me apply for the hunter exam. For a second, I thought the call dropped. It was like he didnt even know how to react to that. All of the sudden, Hwang Manho replied in a voice full ofughter. I know. He didnt say it outright, but he was telling me to know my ce. Yeah, thats what I was going to do. Technically, he wasnt wrong. I didnt know about anyone else, but I was considered to be the weakest of the weakest. But that was a story of the past. So you cant do that even if I give you the money? Hearing that I wasnt aggravated, he calmly replied. It was a little bitter to hear the amount of money I threw down the drain but I guess that just goes to show exactly how awful I was before the tower. He was being an ass about it, but this was as close to an eptance as I was going to get. Its a deal then. Id like to take the exam today. He didnt seem too pleased at my confidence and made a slyment. A couple of days, huh? To him, it must look like I was full of unearned confidence. But I couldnt deny that I did get a huge ego boost recently. He wouldnt understand why I was suddenly acting like I had something other than persistence. It did make sense from his perspective though. Stats, innate abilities, skills Like Hwang Minho said, I didnt have anything that a normal hunter should have. But I wasnt the same person I was when I entered that tower. I knew that for a fact. This isnt me being cocky or arrogant. It was my rightly deserved self-assurance. So I didnt let him shove me around and gave a short answer. If I was the trash trainee Han Sungyeun up until now Yes, I did. It was now time for hunter Han Sungyeun.

Chapter 23: Hunter Han Sungyeun (3) Chapter 23: Hunter Han Sungyeun (3) The White Lotus training centers office. Fucking lunatic, does he think hes some sort of genius? White Lotus manager, Hwang Manho, was annoyed for the first time in a while. This was due to a certain out-of-the-blue phone call. Taking the hunter exam instead of getting the refund? What the fuck is that? Hwang Manho thought back to the man silently concentrating on training. The man who had been eating away at the White Lotus brand for years. Han Sungyeun. Stats, skills, innate ability Not one thing was ordinary for this man. Statsparable to those of an athleticyman, and skills that didnt form even afterpleting all of the prerequisites. Yeah, he was a special case. There wasnt a single yer weaker than Han Sungyeun. But The fact that he was still dedicated to training even after 7 years, and being the living embodiment of hard work not always paying off, had always rubbed him the wrong way. Fool, why hasnt he given up even after having no talent? To Hwang Manho, Han Sungyeun had no potential to be a hunter in this lifetime. And it bothered him that despite that fact, Han Sungyeun refused to give up. In the beginning, he was satisfied with sapping some money off thed but I didnt think hed keep this up for 7 years. More than just determination, Hwang Manho felt almost a certain obsession from the man. Like a man whod die if he couldnt be a hunter. The obsession didnt sit well with him, but money was money. And to be honest, he didnt even really teach him well. After finding out hisck of talent, he basically just left him alone to train. Hwang Manho thought that he would quit after a couple months of that. But Han Sungyeun stuck around to be infamous among the trainees. In the end, Hwang Manho determined that he wasnt good for the brand and chased him out of the center. And thats where he thought his rtionship with Han Sungyeun ended. But not even a monthter, Han Sungyeun called him to make a deal. It was arrogant. He was nning to give back at least half of the money if he asked for a refund. But to ask to take the exam out of the blue? I didnt know that this is what hed call for after all this time. Maybe he was just trying to save face for thest time. Normally, you could only take the hunter exam a day or two after applying for it. As long as they were a yer. Even if Hwang Manho vouched for him, hed just be skipping the paperwork and written tests. But thats not a good enough reason to give up all that money. He was probably just doing this as a fuck you. But he still had questions. How was he expecting to pass the practical exam? He has no stats, skills, nor has he unlocked his innate ability. He didnt even know what weapon hed use during the exam. There could be one possibility though. What if he unlocked his innate ability? That would exin his newfound confidence. But no matter how superior the ability was, his stats were still below average. Whether its strength or mana It was low enough topletely bury the benefits of a good innate ability. Even if he did unlock his ability, there wasnt anything he could have achieved with it. Most hunters have to go to a dungeon to get stronger. Theres no way a mere trainee could develop their skills. They wouldnt even be able to get into a gate. No matter what happened, it wouldnt change the oue. Cocky bastard dug his own grave. Hwang Manho grabbed his coat and prepared to head out. Hed have to apany him as a supervisor if he wanted to skip out on the paperwork. What could have possibly changed? Those who were meant to seed were born differently. Some people were meant to be heads, and Han Sungyeun didnt even have the ability to be a tail. I guess Ill make some preparations. Hwang Manho took out his phone and started typing out a text. Exam maniption, a goto move by famous guilds and training centers. Typically, they donate massive amounts of money to raise the cement ranks of their preferred candidates. But this should be enough to fail a no-name trainee. Hwang Minho had some connections to the Hunter Association and he was nning to use that to get rid of Han Sungyeun. There was no other reason other than that he was annoyed with him. As long as he wasnt negatively affected in any way, Hwang Manho was fine with these malicious acts. It was a feeling simr to jealousy but somethingpletely different. Hwang Manho realized how hical this was but he wasnt very concerned. No one would care about a random trainee with no one to support him. After making the necessary preparations, the corner of his mouth rose. The Uijoenbu citys hunter association would be thest ce Han Sungyeun would act as a yer. *** Uijoenbu citys hunter association. I stood in front and gave off a bitter smile. It felt weird toe back here after almost a year. Its been a while. There was a time when I came here with dreams of bing a hunter. It obviously didnt work out. I passed the written exam but my practicals were just not up to par. The examiner said that I waspeting for the top spot in the written exam but my practical was enough topletely destroy my score. I heard the same for all following exams. The only thing that changed was that the examiners asked why I was so passionate about taking the test. Of course, they stopped asking after I told them about my parents death. It took damn so long to get here. I felt all the emotions I had bottled up in the tower trying to spill out. But there wasnt any time to look back and reminisce. I see youve arrived early Han Sungyeun-nim. I slowly turned around at the sound of the familiar voice. A man with a crew cut, wearing a gray coat, and distinctively sharp eyes stood there. I knew that man. Its been a while, manager Hwang Manho. The man, the legend, my fast pass. He rubbed on his luxury watch and faked a smile. Haha, it hasnt been that long. I guess it just feels like a long time because Ive been through some strange thingstely. Strange things? Yes. Hwang Manho seemed curious as to what those events were. I mean, I guess thats the normal response. Hes probably wondering why Im so insistent on taking this exam now. But itd be way more fun to not tell him. It might sound a little petty but I had no ns to be kind to this man. Especially with all the disrespect Id been getting the past few years. I knew exactly what kind of person I was. I wasnt so petty that Id go eye for an eye to exact revenge on everyone whos wronged me. But Im not sopassionate as to pretend that none of it ever happened. Thats the reason I didnt feel much guilt when I killed those challengers in the Tower of Trials. Hwang Manho noticed that I had no intention of telling him anything and moved on. Well, I guess thats not important right now. You said you wanted to take the exam right? Yeah. If you help me, Ill call it even with the money. Sure. As long as thats settled. As if he knew the results wouldnt change. Ah, and the only part you can override is the theoretical written exam and the interview. Thats okay with you right? Thats the only reason I asked. I know. Then lets go in. I already made the necessary arrangements. He started walking into the hunter association building. This is Hwang Manho from the White Lotus training center. Im here as Han Sungyeun applicants observer. Alright. Just a second. I guess he didnt lie about the arrangements. After speaking to the front desk employee, a middle-aged man in a suit with a deadpan face came out from the back. Hello, Im Kim Inhoo and Ill be your examiner for today. A face Id never seen before. I guess having him as an observer has its benefits. It looked like he was a high-ranking officer and not just a normal examiner. I had heard that the examiners for exams who are sponsored by famous centers or guild executives werent ordinary examiners. That theyre veteran hunters who are fit to lead the front lines. Seeing as theyre so experienced, theres very little room for error in their evaluations. Of course, thats not the only thing they might be there to do. I guess thats good though. Itd be shitty to receive a lower rank just because of a bad examiner. Kim Inhoo took a quick nce at me and turned back to Hwang Manho. Are you here as a sponsor as well? Or just an observer. I knew exactly what that meant. Typically, guild executives can apany candidates into their exams as observers. And if they decide to be a sponsor, it means theyll give all the support that candidate needs to grow. Consequently, the hunter association will give them an easier test so they have more room to show off. But none of that applied to me. No, Im here purely as an observer. Kim Inhoo nodded and continued to speak in a monotone voice. I see. Then lets go to the examination site. Follow me. Upon following the big man in the suit, a familiar scene came into sight. Beyond a giant ss wall, one could see a white, rectangr stone chamber. The examiner and the observers watched from here, and the candidate fought in there. Nothing had changed from thest time Id been here. Kim Inhoo turned to me and broke the silence. Do you need an exnation on the practical exam? No, I dont need one. Then please select a difficulty from 1 to 10. This pearly chamber could virtually emte a chosen monster. Of course, there were some limitations since this thing runs on a mana device. But it should be able to emte up to a D rank monster. Previously, Id only ever taken the exam at level 1. But I lost to the goblin every time. Why? Because I was weak. I failed because I couldnt even beat a goblin without a life-or-death battle. More urately, they failed me right before the life-or-death part started. It made sense since they couldnt let the candidates die. Id have probably beaten the goblin if I did risk my life to kill him. But Someone like that cant be a hunter. You cant call yourself a hunter if you can barely kill a goblin. Hunters were the kinds of people whod always be able to maintain a superior position. At least, thats what they told me the 17 times I failed. It wasnt like that in the Tower of Trials. Anything goes as long as you stay alive. But thanks to that, I knew the extent of my limits. The tower was cruel but fair to all of its participants. No matter how bitter the trial was, the reward was always sweet. Due to that, the me who beat the sand golem was able to beat the orc. And I was able to grow even stronger from there. I wasnt the same weak yer I used to be. After a brief moment of silence, I confidently stated my answer. Ill go with level 10. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC only failed the test 17 times? Those are rookie numbers Chapter 24: Hunter Han Sungyeun (4) Chapter 24: Hunter Han Sungyeun (4) No regrets. From the start, I thought this was the most appropriate level. But Hwang Manho seemed to express some disapproval. Sir, are you really going to take the level 10 exam? It was as if he wanted to ask how someone like me would pass an exam like that. Well, I guess I didnt really have a retort Its fine. I had no intention of changing my mind. I picked this because I had determined that it was the correct level for me. Plus, I wanted to double-check exactly how effective the rewards from the Tower of Trials were. Alright, Ill set it to level 10, please enter the chamber. Kim Inhoos tone didnt change, as if he was indifferent to anything that was happening. Almost as if he was a machine. Maybe he just didnt care since there werent any sponsors. Superficial, arent we. I mean, there were so many controversies associated with sponsors. This was basically nothingpared to that. Step step. I silently marched toward the ss doors. A pearly white stone chamber, an announcement started as the door shut behind me. Wrrrr. Starting Han Sungyeun candidates hunter exam. The following exam is the highest level, level 10, and cement will be at least D-rank upon passing. Please choose any weapon to use on your right-hand side. In three minutes, please prepare to face the monster that will form inside the ck circle. Starting with a D-rank? Not bad. You could consider it the best starting cement for hunters because it normally took quite a while to get to that point. Of course, that meant the exam would be that much harder. But I was more excited than nervous. I wondered what they were building up so much anticipation for. It wont be something as ridiculous as the doppelganger. I could barely bring myself to smile after remembering its near-C-rankbat abilities. The 1v1 on the third floor left quite an impression on me. But I think Id be able to beat the doppelganger pretty easily in my current state. At least if its a one-on-one environment. Id probably have some trouble if there were around 4 of them. They did have a lot of features like physical damage resistance and shapeshifting. On the other hand, Id be able to handle almost any monster as long as it was around that level. The hunter association probably wouldnt be able to emte anything too difficult though. Now, I just have to pick a weapon. I examined the wall of weapons to the right. And ended up picking the mostfortable two. Pure Silver Guilds Mass-produced Steel Sword Grade: F A sword manufactured by pouring decent quality steel into a mold. It is well bnced and does not dull easily. First, I picked the item that said mass-produced. There wasnt anything much better than this and it was also the closest to my obsidian dagger. It was almost insulting topare the dagger sitting in my room to this trash but Well, the length of the de is simr at least. Then I picked up one of the shields close by. It was a rectangr steel shield that was weaker than my wooden shield. Pure Silver Guilds Mass-produced Steel Shield Grade: F A shield manufactured by pouring decent quality steel into a mold. It is quite heavy but has no other pros and cons. Even the Crude Dwarf Shield was better than this. I didnt want to use them even if it was just for the test. Especially because there were at least E-rank items thest time I took the test. Is this what happens if you pick the 10th level? There wasnt any information on it because Id never met anyone who had taken a level 10 test. The mechanical voice broke my train of thought. The exam will begin in 30 seconds. Please finish your preparation. 3 minutes had passed by in no time. I guess it didnt matter. I was confident that I could take on any monster, wherever they came from. Thats where theyreing from. I let out a smirk looking at the small ck circle in the center of the room. Normally, Id have been so nervous that Id barely be able to breathe. Thats how I felt on the lowest level exam, but I didnt feel a thing now. I guess this is growth. The exam is beginning. Please hunt the me bird. I squinted at the bright burst of me that appeared in the center of the room. It was a monster Id seen in the hunter handbook. The me bird, a D-rank monster. Its difficulty varied wildly depending on how you fought it. As the name suggested, the bird had almost no resistance to water and all types of magic attacks. The problem is that its impossible to beat with just physical attacks. Its like telling a child to kill a goblin after giving him a stick. This seemed irrationally difficult but I guess level 10 exams are just like this. It made sense if they started you off as a D-rank hunter. The me enveloped bird let out a chilling shriek. Kwaaaaak! Due to the skill Predators Roar, your movements are now 25% slower. My body stiffened like my joints had rusted. It wasnt as restricting as the one that challenger used in the 4th trial. This skill was a couple of levels below that. A more direct attack would have been better. Then Id be able to diminish its effects with physical attack resistance. I could ignore it if I tried, but it was still annoying. It was like I was walking through a swamp. I paused for a second to think of a way to deal with this flying beast. ording to the handbook, close-rangebatants are supposed to beat it using mana resistance but That wasnt possible for me because I didnt have any skills associated with it. I did want to test out my new skill, this is great Crack! I pushed down on the white stone and circted mana all over my body. This skill could put a lot of strain on my body. Instant eleration. Activating the skill Instant eleration. As the words left my mouth, I felt my entire body lighten like a feather. The effect was more holistic, and stronger than what you could get from the assassins cloak. Then Kwaaaaang! Stone particles flew from where I had stood as I flew off into the air. About 10m up in the air, the perfect distance tond a blow on the dusty bird I swung the sword in my hand and Its over. Sleeet! The bird was split cleanly in two. The announcements didnt miss a beat. The exam is over. Congrattions. Candidate Han Sungyeuns final evaluation is C. I spent 7 years trying to pass this exam. And the end couldnt have been more anticlimactic. *** A man watching through the ss wall was furious. Kwaang! No, fuck, what the fuck! The man smashing the wall to express his anger was Hwang Manho. He couldnt begin to even understand what had just happened in front of his eyes. The man who had only been a trainee somehow killed a D-rank me bird. In the instant that it was summoned as well. Was that possible? No, its not possible. Han Sungyeun was the worst yer hed ever seen. Not to mention that he had nothing remotely rted to mana resistance. The trash yer who couldnt even unlock his innate ability. That was Han Sungyeun. Fuck, how did this even There was no earthly exnation for what just happened. Hwang Manho directed his anger towards the man standing next to him. Can you exin what just happened here? Im speechless, is this really a yer who hasnt even debuted? Dont y dumb with me. I told you to fail him in 10 seconds, not pass him. Are you using me of something? Kim Inhoo loosened his tie at Hwang Manhos usation. We did what we could. As you said, this was designed to be impossible for Han Sungyeun. They were nning to give him a monster one rank above whatever he initially picked. Thats what Hwang Manho requested and they epted. He was a valuable pipeline that provided a lot of new hunters, so they had no choice but to ept. But the situation had changed. First, he picked the highest possible level, so the initial n wasnt usible. Then he obliterated that exam on his own. How is that my problem? And we even sent out the monster that he was most unsuited to fight. But The bastard is As the announcement said, hell receive a C-rank hunter license. I mean, cant you lower it a bit? How do you even lower this? He beat the exam in 10 seconds. If hed gotten a D-rank evaluation, we would have refuted it. Damn it. He had to swallow his anger because they were right. Hes going to start off as a C-rank hunter Hwang Manho retired as a C-rank hunter back in the day. Hed quit because his talents never took him further, and hard work had never been his strong suit. Thats why Han Sungyeun bothered him so much. It was like looking at all the work hed never done. And thats why hed always left him alone without teaching him properly. Fucking shit! He was officially a hunter now. And a very promising one at that. Han Sungyeun would probably only get bigger and bigger. It was then You dont look so well. Did something happen? The ss doors opened and Hwang Manho turned his head. The source of Hwang Manhos scowl. Han Sungyeun He smiled as he looked down on the disgraced manager. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Mans says hes not that petty and then hits him with is anything wrong? UwU Chapter 25: Hunter Han Sungyeun (5) Chapter 25: Hunter Han Sungyeun (5) Hwang Manho trembled with his fists closed tight. I couldnt help but let a smallugh slip at the sight. He probably didnt even expect me to pass. Ipleted the exam, at the highest difficulty, in an instant. He was probably as frustrated as he was embarrassed. Kicking himself for his little speech about giving up while I was ahead. But Id be an entirely different person since I entered that tower. Of course, he couldnt predict the results. Grit. I heard a small voice through Hwang Manhos gritted teeth. Ha, haha. Congrattions Sungyeun-nim, or shall I say, hunter Han Sungyeun. Hwang Manho forced himself to continue while visibly faking a smile. Hed lost theposure to even hide his feelings. Whys he even so spiteful? I was just curious to know what I did to make him hate me so much. All I did was show up and train every day. Well, I guess it doesnt matter now. Its not like Ill keep seeing him around. That gave me a little more peace of mind. I sure am. Werent you also a C-rank hunter before you retired? Y-yeah. Haha. Then it looks like were the same rank now, manager Hwang. I noticed him squeezing his fists. Not only that, his poker face waspletely ruined. So he understood what I was actually saying to him. The trainee that he once looked down on was now at the same rank as him. Thats exactly what I meant by it From the looks of his face, he seemed to have understood it a little too well. I leaned in closer tond my final blow to the aggravated man. Too bad we wont be on the same level for too long. It could mean different things without context, but it was clear what I was trying to say. Id surpass C-rank soon and stand above him at his prime. Ha, haha. That might be difficult. It was apletely emotionless response, but I smiled even bigger in return. Well see, stranger things have happened. Like a 7-year trainee bing a C-rank hunter overnight. He dropped the facade and started tightening his muscles. The taunting is working better than I thought. Hm, he might even make a move here. It was then Thats enough, manager Hwang. The silent observer attempted to remediate the situation. Theres nothing to be gained by escting this situation. Kim Inhoo dropped the previously robotic tone and continued in a frigid tone. Well take care of the Han Sungyeun hunter from now on. You dont have to worry. Are you really going to end our rtionship, just to save face for a new hunter? Hwang Manho responded with a simrly low and threatening tone. But I suppose so. The examiner didnt back down. I didnt expect him to jump in like this, but it wasnt unexpected. The hunter association would prefer not to have a battle happening within their office. Especially if one of those constituents is a highly-anticipated newbie. If theres one thing that bothers me End the rtionship. That meant they had some sort of rtionship that could be ended until this point. I didnt know he had a connection with the examiner. It did make sense, considering that hes a manager of a famous training center. The hunter association only dealt with the biggest fish in the sea. I didnt know the White Lotus was in that group. Too bad it wasnt a strong connection. Fuck all of you. He expressed his disapproval and briskly walked out. Kaaang! He mmed the door shut and the silence filled the room. Kim Inhoo looked as if nothing happened and carried on with the conversation. Hm, looks like everythings settled. I think so. On that note, theres something I want to tell you with your hunter license The corners of his mouth raised as his eyes met mine. Can you lend me a bit of your time? Sure. It was best to get the license as soon as possible. There was some annoyance on the way here, but I achieved what I had set out to do. Saving time, and getting the hunter license. I condensed a 3-day schedule to just one day. Well lets get a change of scenery. Ill give you the license first. I nodded and followed him down a hall. It was finally starting to set in that I was an official hunter. I guess Ill be hunter Han Sungyeun from now on It wasnt the most satisfactory rank after 7 years but Its not bad. I was satisfied to take the first step. *** This is the license that youll be using from now on. I thoroughly examined the small rectangle handed to me. Hunter Han Sungyeun Rank: C Type: Melee Issued Date: 2026-01-21 It felt good. I was proud that I stuck it through to finally get here. Kim Inhoo interrupted as I was admiring the license. Now that youre registered, youll be able to act as an official hunter now. I opened my mouth at the good news. Then Ill be able to sell items and enter dungeons? Yes sir. Of course, youll only be able to go into dungeons that match your rank. Same with the items. After a brief pause, he stared at me with a more serious look on his face. Sir, I have a proposal for you. If you mention a proposal Its exactly what you thought it was. Would you be interested in working exclusively as a hunter for the hunter association? It was out of the blue, but it didnte as a surprise. To Kim Inhoo, I must be a diamond in the rough. No associations,pletely undiscovered. I was probably one of a kind. Most young promising hunters were sponsored by big guilds. So, the hunter association couldnt poach any of those rising stars. But Im not from any guild nor am I affiliated with any group. He even confirmed that I had a bad rtionship with my only connection, Hwang Manho. There was no reason for them not to try to poach me. And this wasnt a bad deal. hunter association hunters receive a sry even if they dont do anything. Unlike most hunters who make their living by scavenging through dungeons, these hunters escort or arrest for a living. Protecting famous celebrities or arresting fugitive hunters, thats what they did. In reality, youd do that for extra pay. You dont have to do anything as long as you respond to their calls at specific times. But even then, their sries were ridiculously high. I put the license in my wallet and snuck in a question. Exactly how much would the pay be? It starts off at 1 million, but you can negotiate for more. Thats fairly high, even in this industry. An incredible amount for essentially doing nothing. Thats pretty good. Well, I think you have the potential to be worth it. Kim Inhoo didnt even bat an eye at that amount. Hmm, Id be lying if I said I wasnt interested. Itd be very worth it considering the time Id spend in the tower. But Its a bit iffy if they previously had a rtionship with Hwang Manho. The hunter industry is incredibly corrupt. A lot of murders happen within the dungeons. To the point where there are hunters who exclusively neglect corpses in dungeons. If you put a body in a dungeon that needed to disappear, no one could ever track you. And just like how the hunter industry had a dark side, the hunter association wasnt all clean. There were a lot of instances of candidates paying absurd sums of money to be evaluated at a higher rank. In that aspect, Kim Inhoo was suspicious as well. They probably tried to mess with my test. It was actually different from the tests I took before. To be honest, there was something that felt a bit off about this exam. Everything from the avable items to how ipatible I was with the monster. Id heard that a candidate who took a level 7 exam got D-grade weapons, but I only had F-grade avable. And how most meleebatants would never be able to beat the me bird. I didnt say anything because I assumed the level 10 test was special but Theres a lot to be suspicious of. If that was the case, it would be foolish of me to ept this offer. Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me twice, shame on me. Of course, I didnt have any concrete proof. I still couldnt say if an immediate response was a wise decision. Thank you for the offer. Ill think about it. If its because of the sry, you can negotiate it up. No, its not like that. Just some personal reasons. I see. Feel free to call any time. He made a disappointed face and held out a business card. Hunter Association Examiner Kim Inhoo Give me a call when you feel like it. I took the card and nodded. Alright. Ill head out now. We hope to keep a good rtionship with you. Exclusive hunter for the hunter association, huh. Id consider it for a bit longer, but there were still things I had to do. Now that I have a license, I can start selling items. I needed to get more out of the 3 days I had. The return stone is cheaper than expected, so theres probably a bunch of us here. That might affect the market price of my items. The tower would eventually let the challengers go, and theyd all have items with them. Whether that was good or bad, itd change the market. Id have to act quickly to prepare for that. Lets make some money first. I could probably charge some extra premium for my items. Id need some money to prepare to go to the tower. This would be the first thing Id do as a hunter. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC: I just broke up a 5 year rtionship Everyone: omg are you okay? MC: yeah, it wasnt mine Chapter 26: First Move (1) Chapter 26: First Move (1) Id already achieved everything I set out to do during my 3-day stay. I finally got some well-deserved rest and passed the hunter exam. Looking back at everything I did in one day made me feel pretty proud. I had a suspicion that this might have been a waste of 500 points but Nothing of that sort even crossed my mind now. Things have been working out a little too well. I initially nned to get a leg up on everyone before the exam criteria changed But it looked like Id be able to sell items right away. This might be the best course of action considering the flood of low-rank items that woulde. The problem would be all the other challengers whod be returning to Earth soon. With this pattern, it shouldnt be too long before the other challengers reached the 8th floor. I need to use my time more efficiently. Even with that thought, I stopped by the corner store and bought a pack of bungeo-ppang*. I thought about holding back, but things like this were the main reason I came back to Earth. My bank bnce was telling me no but Eh, itll be okay once I sell all the items I brought. No use in caring about money. I grabbed some more snacks from the store and returned to my room with a full mouth. Click. This ce is the same as usual. The apartment looked exactly the same as when I left it. It was funny to see that a life-changing event just happened in my room. Yet seeing the same room made everything feel like a dream. Come to think of it, Ive been here for quite some time. I received it from the government-funded yer support program. Since Im officially a hunter, I should be able to receive a bigger apartment. That doesnt even matter though. Im going back to the tower soon. I wont waste my time with useless shit. Copse. Ill get some rest for now. I put my head on the pillow and took out my phone from my pocket. I just wanted to get an update on everything as well as release some stress. But. Nothings changed. The world is still the same ce. I looked up Tower of Trials to see if anyones posted about it but it was to no avail. The other challengers must not have gotten out yet. 500 isnt a luxury most yers would be able to afford if they werent on the top of the leaderboards. I probably wouldnt havee out without all the bonus rewards Ive been getting. A couple of days might change the situation but I couldnt afford to be that patient. Let me first sell all the items that I need to take care of. It was time to say goodbye to some of my trusted friends. Like the assassins cloak and the obsidian dagger. The cloaks bonus disappeared now that my agility had reached 50. And the buffs on the dagger were falling behind some of the other equipment. Which ones should I sell After pondering, I came to a conclusion. Id leave the cloak because agility was still my main stat, but the obsidian dagger and deadwood shield had to go. Especially because the effect on the deadwood shield didnt match my fighting style anymore. I did turn the tide of the battle with this effect before, but it was too risky. Rather than taking damage for some extra buffs, I preferred to take them down with one swift strike. Its decided then. Id stop by the hunter market tomorrow to take care of it. After deciding, I realized that I had nothing left to do. I was supposed to rest but What was I supposed to do again? The only thing I did when I was home was train. I had no hobbies or interests. Hm, should I pick up a game or something? I didnt really feel like it. Ah, if this was the tower, Id just train. Catching myself mid-thought, I smiled. Whats wrong with me? I came here because I wanted to take a break but I think I was morefortable with training now. Ironic. It did mean that Id adapted well to the tower. Funny. After the bowls of gukbap and some snacks, my cravings were satisfied. With a nice warm shower, I waspletely satisfied. I wasnt really the type to splurge even before the tower. My head was only filled with thoughts about training. Thats how I lived for the past 7 years. Id essentially be addicted to it now. It allowed me to survive in the tower. Ill only get stronger the more I climb. I didnt know how many trials were left, but the rewards could only get better from here. Id learn more about the tower, and in turn, the new world we lived in. The questions, administrator, and rewards. The tower was much more generous than the dungeons. They gave us ess to all kinds ofmands to extract information from. But I had no intentions of using any of them at the moment. I need to wait until at least the 8th floor. Itd be the most efficient, seeing that a lot more things would be added to the system. I had an intuition that there would be more to find out the higher I climbed the tower. But thats that. I cut myself off and closed my eyes. I had to force myself to get some well-deserved mental rest. Itll be a while since Ill get this again My senses slowly drifted away as my muscles rxed. I initially worried about not being able to sleep, but it was all for naught. It was my first deep sleep in a long long time. *** Vrrr, vrrr. My eyes opened wide as I felt a vibration next to my head. I blindly grasped for my phone a couple of times until I finally found it. I fought the gravity of thefy bed and got myself to sit up. And 11:30 AM Huh? I stared into my screen, confused. If this its 11:30 in the morning It was around 8 pm when I went to sleep, so I slept for almost 15 hours. Damn, I slept for that long? The longest I slept before the tower was around 8 hours. I guess I was more tired than I thought Crack! I stood up and gave all my muscles a good stretch. I guess all thats left to do is get rid of these items. Seeing the items neatly arranged on the floor gave me a bittersweet feeling. It wasnt a long time, but some of these items saved my life. The sentimental value would be lost if I sold them but Thats not a good enough reason to not sell these. They could lose all of their value once an influx of items came in from new returners. I put all the items in a bag and put on a hoodie and jeans to look inconspicuous. Since this was a neighborhood designated for yers, everything from the hunter association to the whole economy was rted to hunters. I didnt need to waste much time getting to the hunter market. I was never qualified to be in here before but Please show your hunter license. Hunter Han Sungyeun, confirmed. Not anymore. Wow, hunters sure have it nice with all this space. I entered the lobby of the gigantic building, which must have been at least 10 stories tall. The hunter market arge mall where hunters go to buy and sell items. There were stalls dedicated to repairing and strengthening equipment, as well as ces that just disyed a myriad of weapons. Of course None of them are that good. The gallery was just filled with F to D-grade trash. I walked past, as I had no use for it. Wee, sir. I stepped into the item sale office and a young woman approached me. What items are you looking to sell today? Hm, just a shield and a dagger I happened upon. A shield and a dagger, two items. The grades are One D and one E. Oh, thats quite high. I got kind of lucky. She didnt ask me for any further details. Okay. Can you show us the items here? I walked to the nearby table and disyed the contents of my bag. The obsidian dagger and the deadwood shield. The woman widened her eyes with surprise as I took them out. This kind of quality you really want to sell these? It was as if she couldnt believe it. Yeah, I dont think Ill have any more use for it. Ah, you were a high ranker. She nodded at her insight while I opted to stay silent. It wasnt urate, but I had no intentions of correcting her. Hm, Im estimating that the dagger would sell for $65,000 and the shield $100,000. Shocked, I could barely ask my question. Dont E-grade items usually go for like $40,000? The shield would also be worth like $55.000. No, not all of them. These are both high-quality items. The woman shook her head at the tidbit of knowledge I had. They both have more effects than I thought and more qualities that arent marked by the system. What do you mean by qualities that arent marked by the system? Just like the ingredient the dagger is made of and the origins of this shield. They must have seen some value in the exnation about the ck steel and that the shield was made for a berserker. Thatpletely went over my head. I didnt really have any experience in this area, so I felt a littlecking. I should have done some research beforehand. The woman continued to talk. If you want, you can go ask other sales offices. Its fine. Ill just take care of it here. Theres no real reason for me to go to a different office. Unlike normal, markets where anyone cane and go, hunter markets were very restricted. Most trades were based on trust. There was no need to make unnecessary enemies. Especially if theyve mistaken you as a high ranker. No market in the world would try to grift a high ranker. Just write down your banking information. Well wire you the money immediately. My phone buzzed as soon as I gave them the info. $165,000 has been deposited into your ount. Bnce C $172,380 The bank notified me of my new bnce. The reality set in and my heart fluttered. I finally feel like a real hunter. I was positive. It was the right choice to use my precious points on this trip. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Its a little slow right now but it gets WILD *Seements for photo. Chapter 27: First Move (2) Chapter 27: First Move (2) $165,000. An amount of money I couldnt even imagine as a trainee. No matter what I went through in the trials, I was only human. My poker face broke for an instant and the corners of my mouth slid up. A thousand ideas popped into my head with all the things I could do with this money but Whats the use. Itll all disappear soon. I calmed myself down and organized my thoughts. There were a bunch of things I needed to test out with the tower, and it wasnt good to obsess over money. Ive confirmed the deposit. Not a single tremble in my voice. Ill go ahead and take care of these. She retrieved the items from the table. It was painful to say goodbye, but they wouldnt be of much use on the higher floors. We hope you will continue to choose us for future business. Okay, bye then. I took off and started looking at some of the other shows. There was something I was curious about. The Tower of Trials let me bring out the items that I bought there. Then I wondered if the opposite would be true for items Id bought here. It was just a theory, but it could be the case. It could be a two-way system. The question was if that only worked with items bought in the tower. And thats what I was trying to answer right now. Gotta spend money if you made money. *** Krocken Magic Towers Repair Box Grade: D+ Created by what was once known as the Fools Tower, Krocken Magic Tower. Upon cing an item below C-grade, the box restores it to its original form. Only one item can be ced in the box, and the item must fit in it. Can only repair one item. Cleansing Stone Grade: E- Upon inserting mana into the stone, it cleanses the users body and equipment. The cooldown on the item is 3 hours. Aftering back to my apartment I stared at the two items I purchased from the market. Krocken Magic Towers Repair Box and the Cleansing Stone. They werent too shabby for $97,000. Krocken Magic Towers Repair Box was a D+ item. And the Cleansing Stone would be useful in the tower, despite the low grade. I could only tell how terrible I smelt after washing up. Staying clean would be worth the money. But I lost 100k after two items It was insane but the only logical choice. They were the only items that could help me in the tower. More urately, they were the only ones that I could use and also afford. I needed to leave a bit just in case. Its not like Id nevere back to Earth. And I still need to hunt at least twice a year if I want to keep my license. A-rank hunters could be honorary hunters, but the same was not true for the others. Unless you were a special case, like a hunter association affiliated hunter, youd be forced to retire from inactivity. A hunters main job was to take care of monsters and clear gates after all. No activity meant no benefits. Of course, that wont be my main reason foring back Id focus on the tower for now. If I wanted to get to the 8th floor, Id need to clear three more trials. I didnt even have an option of returning permanently until I reached that point. The only thing left to do was bring back these items. I guess Id find out once it was time. Nothing I could do about this now. Maybe Id spend some time researching. A decent amount of time passed, so maybe someone posted something about the tower. Click, click. What the hell is this? Any of yalle from the tower of trials? I stopped scrolling at the new post on the hunter forums. Whos this crazy bastard? Like the guy who leaked information about the 4th trial and this guy Some of these guys have a screw loose. I didnt know why these guys were just talking about the tower out in the open but I was curious. Click. Author C Ex D rank hunter Fuck, I contemted for a while and finally bought the return stone. Can anyone share some information with me? Please, Im desperate. I knew that this guy was telling the truth as soon as I saw the post. A challenger who knew about the return stone. I didnt know what difficulty they were in, but it was interesting. I wonder what they were thinking when they posted this. Interested, I scrolled down further. 4th and 5th floors were manageable, but its killing me that the 6th trial is another trial ofpetition. I used up all my questions, so I cant get any more information. Im going to die. Im even more fucked because Im on the hard difficulty. The hard difficulty. It was the same as mine. Is it already time for the 6th trial The 5th trial must have been really short if theyre already on the 6th one. Putting my intrigue aside, I kept scrolling. Drr. The fucking admins barely tell you anything even if you ask a question. And that bastard told everyone about the 4th and 6th trial and now everyone in themunity is staying quiet. Are all of us low rankers just supposed to die off? People like us have to stick together if we want to stay alive. Post ament if you have any intentions of sharing anything. Hm. I think Id figured the situation out. The same thing that happened before the 4th trial is happening again now. And the bastard hes talking about is probably the same exact person as before. Surprisingly, this was way more information than I anticipated. Of course, I wasnt going to reply to it. I dont have anything to share, nor do I have any intentions of sharing anything. I was considered a high ranker, seeing that I was 16th after the 4th trial. I also hadnt used any of my questions, so I had a lot saved up. Plus, I didnt want to expose any unwanted information about me. It was then DancingWithGoblins C What are you even talking about? You got something wrong with your head? The new listing started gathering some attention. ModernOrc C I mean I guess there are a bunch of hunters who retired from going crazy. SryLupin C Im also a D-rank hunter. Am I gonna go crazy also? HonestGamerHunter C Stop sprouting your bullshit about this tower and go y some games. No one seems to believe him. I mean, whod even leave a legit reply to somethi HurricaneSwag C Same, fuck. Can we talk one on one? Im also in the hard difficulty. SelfHealThief C Same. I got some info. Can we get together? Also hard difficulty. I guess there are. You could tell that these people were at their wits end. I was surprised to find that even the lower-ranked challengers bought a return stone. If they were that desperate, they should have just stayed and kept training. I didnt understand why they would waste 500 points like this. Although I probably shouldnt assume their situations. Anyways, it looks like more and more people are starting to return. Im assuming that this was because they were finishing up the 5th trial now. Good thing I came before everyone else. I was satisfied with my choices and kept searching online. Yall know anything called the tower of trials? If youre a civilian make sure you dont get swept away by the Tower of Trials. Looking for people to team up in the tower of trials There were even posts warning normal people about not epting the towers invitation. Its about time since there are probably easy difficulty challengers. Simultaneously, the tower seemed to garner a lot of attention. Whats this tower and why is this the only thing people are talking about? I heard theres this dungeon called the tower of trials thats even taking civilians, is that true? Is this just a big prank? Whats the tower of trials? I could tell that it was reaching the mainstream audiences at this point. I dont know how this will affect anything but I knew one thing. I had to climb up higher. So the 6th trial is anotherpetitive trial and the 5th is probably an individual Id probably have to kill more challengers. That fact didnt reallye as a shock. If I have to fight, Ill fight. Actually, I was more curious to see the rewards Id get afterward. I didnt know if it was because Id already killed someone or if Id be too ustomed to the tower. A part of my brain felt missing now, but it wasnt all bad. Id stay like this at least until the 8th floor. The 8th floor Once all the features of the tower were unlocked, I nned to use all of my questions. So until then All I had to do was keep going. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Tag yourself, Im HurricaneSwag Another slow chapter just preparing for big boi story Chapter 28: Intrusion (1) Chapter 28: Intrusion (1) I spent myst day on Earth doing more research about the tower. One could look at this as wasting my precious time on Earth but My initial goal was to get a leg up on everyone else, so I didnt mind. There wasnt anything I needed besides the food and sleep I got. Too much rest is a luxury I dont need. I tried finding out as much as possible about the status of all the challengers on the 6th floor. And The mainstream media had picked up on the scent. That just helped to show how many challengers came back from the tower. And that means more people have enough points to spare the 500 on the return stone. That also meant I was starting to fall behindpared to the other challengers. Ill be busy once I get back. Id have to clear the 5th trial as fast as possible. A familiar message popped up as I was lost in thought. You will be returned to the tower soon. Return, as though the ce I belonged was the tower. but I didnt have anything to say against it. I guess return is the correct term. I was returning to be stronger, and to survive. Back to the tower. Badump, badump. My heart raced as my body longed to go back. I guess its not so bad that Im so ustomed to the tower. The tower had changed me. But that allowed me to grow and survive. Maybe thats why Time over. Returning to the Tower of Trials. I was looking forward to the next trial. *** Im back Therge stone waiting area was there, just as I left it. Realizing that I had returned, I searched my body for my items. I was holding on to it when I was in the studio so The tips of my fingers grazed something hard mid-thought. Krocken Magic Towers Repair Box A ck box with gray engraved stars like constetions, an item I bought at the hunters market. And just around the corner Cleansing Stone An azure pyroxene stone. Another item I bought outside. Assassins Cloak And even the item I get from the 2nd floor. Items are free to travel back and forth, huh. No matter where you got them from, as long as the item had a rank associated with it. I still didnt have anything like my phone or wallet, but that was fine. Just knowing this information was a huge advantage. This cleansing stone is gonna take a weight off of me. Same with the repair box. Now I know to just go buy items and bring them back if they didnt have them in the marketce. It was then The First Returnee achievement unlocked. Acquiring the skill Eye of Truth (A) ? The first returnee? I had to read that a couple of times to get a full understanding of the situation. I must have been the first person to go ande back. It made sense since I used it almost immediately after getting to the 5th floor. It was amazing that battles werent the only ce you could unlock an achievement from. However, what was more amazing was this skill. Just the fact that it was an A-ranked skill was making me shake with excitement. I collected my breath and opened the status window to see the details. And Skill C Eye of Truth (A) Proficiency C None Effect C Uses mana to obtain information from a specified object. Can also determine whether or not the target is telling the truth. I got chills reading the description. It wasnt a battle-rted skill, but one could argue its even more useful. Information on the specified target huh. What could top a skill like this? I hadnt heard of anything that lets you obtain information like what the first part of the skill said Though I could guarantee that thetter effect would be useful. It didnt have a proficiency so it wouldnt be possible to rank it up, but its a great skill regardless. Especially in the group trials with other challengers. It isnt very descriptive but Ill figure it out in time. Most active skills tended to work simrly anyway. I held the cloak in my hand and opened my mouth. Eye of truth. Activating the skill Eye of Truth Retrieving information on the following object. The activation message was followed by another message. Assassins Cloak Grade: D A cloak-type item thats specialized in instantaneous eleration. Mana slipped from my body as I smiled at the message that appeared while Not bad. Not that much betterpared to the original item description but Waiting Area Grade: ? A private area provided by the Tower of Trials for the challengers. Currently being provided to challenger Han Sungyeun. I can even see information like this so its probably useful. No, I actually hit the jackpot. Being able to extract information out of everything was a huge advantage. Though I still couldnt check thetter half of the skill. I need someone to talk to for that part to activate at all. But this unexpected achievement was a pleasant surprise. The return stone was so worth it. Thest three days had been great, and this was just the cherry on top. I couldnt stop smiling. If I can start using this skill without having to say the skill name out loud All of my interactions with other people were going to change drastically. Of course Thats a story for after the 5th trial. Now, since I finished checking up on all that It was time to choose a weapon. Id been meaning to buy a new set since I sold my previous set back on Earth. Marketce. Normally, Id spend some time contemting what items to get, but there were a couple Id been eyeing for a while. You have bought a Thunder de (C). 5,500 points deducted. You have bought a Covert Hunters Shield (D+). 3,800 points deducted. This should be enough. Thunder de Grade: C Attack Speed: +12% An azure de that bears the thunders mana. Created by a cksmith that worshipped the thunder. Attacking with this weapon has a 10% chance to inflict an electrocute effect. Covert Hunters Shield Grade: D+ Movement Speed: +3% Presence Concealment: +5% A shield that can be attached to the arm. Created with a minuscule amount of mithril. You can conceal your presence more easily and move faster. The thunder de had the on-attack effect even though it didnt have a lot of bonus effects. And the covert hunters shield was an attachment-type shield fit for mybat style. I invested pretty heavily into the sword, so the shield was a little shabby but My fights usually revolve around the sword anyway. It shouldnt be too big of a problem. After making all of the necessary preparations, I checked themunity one more time. Floor 5 Community (443/691) There were over 1,000 people thest time I checked. I guess most people moved onto the 5th trial almost immediately. Maybe some of them only just cleared the 4th trial and came up. Although the chances were pretty slim. I then briefly checked the leaderboard before taking a sigh of relief. My ranking hasnt changed. The most important part was that I was still a pioneer, but it would be a good idea to stay on the higher side just in case. I guess theres no use dying it any further. Do you ept the 5th floor trial? Y/N The waiting period was long gone. I pressed Y without hesitation and the usual blue portal appeared. I put the repair box and the cleansing stone in my inventory and put on the new equipment. I stepped into the portal to find myself transported to a drab cave. Entering Tower of Trials floor 5. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is hunting. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. The objective soon followed. The 5th floor trial is starting soon. Remaining time C 1 day Trial sess condition C Kill the boss of the wolf cave, the werewolf, in the remaining time. Trial fail condition C Challengers death or time out Trial sess reward C Barbaric Wolfs Hairband (C-) Trial fail penalty C Death As soon as I finished reading the message, I heard growls begin to surround me. Grrrr This is a warm wee. Muttering dully, I took a look at my surroundings. It should have been too dark for me to see anything but Maybe it was due to my enhanced stats, but I could see the enemies as clear as day. A wolf-like beast with brown, uneven fur, and scarlet eyes. Eye of truth. Crazy Wolf Rank: E+ A D-rank beast with a wolf-like outer appearance who usually hunts in packs. Their jaw strength is powerful enough to cleanly sever an ordinary persons arm. It was a useful yet vicious description. Sever an arm with a bite Although they might have a harder time with my arm with my tenacity stat. It still wouldnt hurt to be careful. Grrrr! I squeezed the hilt of my new sword as three growling crazy wolves ran towards me. Kwaaar! And that was thest thing toe out of their mouths. Stab, stab, stab! I ced a hole in their necks simultaneously while dodging their ws. Their corpses lost all strength and dropped to the floor. Katang. The fight was anticlimactic and didnt raise any emotion in me. Considering my stats, a D-rank monster wouldnt really put up much of a fight. The sword feels pretty good, but the electrocute effect didnt activate. The description said it had a 10% chance of activating, but it wasnt as frequent as I had hoped. Though I wasnt disappointed. ~Grrr There were more practice dummies left in the cave. And the echoing growls would lead me to them. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC: rest is a luxury i cant afford Also MC: lemme buy that 50k shower rock Chapter 29: Intrusion (2) Chapter 29: Intrusion (2) Tsssssk.! Streaks of lightning sparked from the sword as it flowed through the wolfs corpse. I guess its not a C-rank for nothing. This was what it meant by applying an electrocution effect on attacks. Just like the name suggested, lightning flowed out from the de, killing the crazy wolf immediately. Itll be more useful than I expected. It was enough topletely take care of all the nearby monsters. After a bit of experimentation, I should be able to incorporate it into mybos. The 5th trial was looking good already. And That wasnt the only thing I gained. Skill Hunters Daggermanship (E)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill Hunters Daggermanship (E)s ranked up. Skill elerated Regeneration (E+) s proficiency reached 100%. Skill elerated Regeneration (E+) s ranked up. A couple of messages popped up after getting rid of about ten wolves. I cantin about the rewards. Progress that had been stagnating flooded in all at once and ranked up two of my skills. It helped that Id purposely been taking my time with the hunt to increase my proficiency. I avoided killing them in one hit and instead took some non-threatening injuries to get some extra training in. Even then, this growth speed was unheard of. Skill C Hunters Daggermanship (E+) Proficiency C 0% Exnation C A technique made by hunters for effective hunting. Effect C When using a dagger, the weapons cutting force is increased by two times. Skill C elerated Regeneration (D) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Able to recover quickly from non-life-threatening injuries. The only difference from the systems side was the cutting force but In practice, these skills became exponentially more useful. The daggermanship is already at E+ I could feel myself getting closer to hitting the limit. All skills have a rank where growthpletely stops. The case wasnt any different with Hunters Daggermanship. From what I hear, this skill stops ranking up after hitting D. After one more rank-up, Id be hitting a wall. I didnt know any information on elerated regeneration but Ill need to get a new de-rted weapons skill first. Weapons skills in general could be used to increase proficiencies of higher-tier weapons skills of the same family. Once I found a better daggermanship skill, I shouldnt have any problems. And I knew exactly how Id get one. Ill just have to absorb it from the correct enemies. Since I could never unlock abilities just by training, my only choice was to use my innate ability. The only problem was finding an enemy with the correct skill, plus the probability of acquiring it. Whatever, it wasnt something I needed to think about right now. I just have to hope for a solution on the higher floors. You have absorbed the soul of the crazy wolf. You have absorbed the soul of the crazy wolf. You have absorbed the soul of the crazy wolf. Proficiency increased by 16% The necromancy proficiency is quite high too. I wouldnt be surprised if it ranked up in this trial. I was absorbing more and more souls on every floor of the trial. And my stats and proficiency had followed suit. So Ill have to kill everyst one of them. It was time to clear out this cave before heading to the boss. *** Step, step. I noticed that something was strange as I was walking through the wet cave. The tower called this ce a Wolf Den. So why was it that I was seeing monsters less and less as I got farther in? It was to the point of it feeling much easier than the 4th trial. The tower definitely isnt giving me a freebie. Not the tower that Id experienced so far. Why? Before I could reason an answer, an object at my feet interrupted my train of thought. Tap. What the hell is this The object was nothing other than a wolf corpse. Was it a fight for territory or something? Beasts fought each other all the time, so it was understandable. In situations like these, most hunters would wait until thest second to reap the benefits of all the kills. It was a situation I could understand. The problem was that this was happening in the tower and not a dungeon. Why would they lower the difficulty at this point when it would make sense for them to raise it? I got a bad feeling about this. Just to make sure, I stopped for a second to more closely examine the corpses. And Sword marks? I could see a clean cut right through the wolfs torso. Someone stabbed it in the heart to kill it in one shot. Clean and precise swordsmanship it was clearly done by another entity. This changes everything. There was someone else in this cave other than me. It shouldnt be possible, but it was the only exnation. Low-tier monsters like goblins wouldnt be able to make this clean of a cut Whatever did this was a human or a monster with near-human intelligence. There wasnt an announcement about anything special happening on the 5th trial, nor did anyone mention that it was a group trial. Then the possibility that this was another challenger was low. Of course, I didnt blindly believe the towers guidance, but it just seemed unlikely. The only possibility left was a monster who could wield weapons as well as humans could. If something like that exists, Ill be in trouble. Just the couple of monsters that popped into my head sent shivers down my spine. Ill keep my guard up. Something like that could kill me in an instant. Tensing every muscle in my body, I stepped farther into the caves depths. One step, two steps, three Corpses seemed to pile up higher and higher as I make my way forward. How many did it kill The bigger beasts had more cuts on their corpses, and the cave walls were increasingly marked by the remnants of his dework. The problem was that these marks werent rough at all they were smooth. That meant the walls werent just scratched with the sword, but a casualty that came with this wolf massacre. Eye of Truth. Remnants of Aura Grade: D- Marks left by a highly proficient aura user. This time, rather than the wall, the Eye of Truth revealed some information about the marks. Maybe because I was more focused on the marks and not the wall What was more interesting was this thing called aura. Aura. Was it a skill? I wasnt sure, but this made one thing clear. Whoever was ahead of me was skilled enough to easily slice through stone. It wasnt something within my reach, even with all my new skills and stats. Well, I could emte it to a point but not replicate it. I knew the tower wouldnt make this easy for me. Things were starting to make a little more sense now. This was what I was talking about. I weed the challenge. More risk meant more reward after all. This would be a nice way to get stronger before thepetitive trial on the 6th floor. And it wasnt like I could do anything about it at this point. Might as well try to stay positive. I tightened the grip of my left hand and marched forward. I was prepared to react to anything that came my way using my shield. If I block it with a shield and activate the skill, I should be able to deal with most attacks. It was then Kraaaaaw! My entire body shivered as a beastly scream pierced straight through my heart. What the Then a message popped up in front of me. The trial target, werewolf, has died. What? I couldnt even begin toprehend the message in front of me. What? The objective of this trial just suddenly dropped dead? I stared nkly and as if the tower wanted to reply, another message showed up. Determining the cause. The challenger does not die because they did not satisfy the failure requirements. The time left will not decrease until the proper cause is determined. To my relief, this didnt count as a failure. Yet seeing that message just made me more nervous. That meant even the tower didnt know what exactly killed that werewolf At least I knew that somethingpletely unexpected happened here. Fuck. A primal instinct deep inside of me was urging me to take flight. It didnt know from what, but it knew I was in danger. As I froze in ce, the system sent another message. Interpretationplete. We have found evidence of intrusion in challenger Han Sungyeuns trial. Intrusion as in, someone broke in without permission. Wait, is that even possible? I knew for a fact that there wasnt a way to get into any trials that werent yours. What could they have possibly done to have this happen? In my confusion, the tower provided an answer. Recalibrating the trial objective. To exactly what I needed to do. A feature not yet avable in the Earth dimension, Intrusion has urred. Please eliminate the invading challenger from another dimension. Just the fact that there was a solution was a huge weight off my chest. No matter what happened, an enemy still existed, and Id be able to continue after killing them. The only thing that bothered me was the way they said, another dimension. Like its saying that there are more worlds simr to our Earth A series of rough breaths echoed from the dark end of the tunnel. ck, ck. Id never heard a more terrifying noise as my body froze in fear. Like a prey standing in front of its predator, I couldnt even breathe. As I stood there, wary of what was beyond the tunnel, a figure began to form. The revealed figure looked like a knight straight out of the medieval era. Covered from head to toe in ck armor, with a bloodied sword toplete the outfit. He didnt fit into the surroundings, almost as he was photoshopped in. Hm, I thought you would have died off already. I guess youre still this trials owner huh? It wasnt important that I somehow understood anguage I had never heard before. Every rm in my body was ringing before I could even think about anything. I didnt know your primitive kind would still be alive. This is gonna be fun. Now this, I didnt expect. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Ayo this is getting lit They abouta go multiverse on this thing Chapter 30: Intrusion (3) Chapter 30: Intrusion (3) I raised my sword as an oppressive aura slowly took away my breath. How was there another person here without apetitive trial? To be honest, Id want toin to an administrator or something but Why arent you responding, primitive? The system determined that he would be my new target, so I couldnt even do that. I have to find a way to survive. I had no intention of giving up even if I had only a one percent chance of surviving. Looking up and down, I observed the knights equipment. A pearly silver sword stood out from the rest of his dark armor; the fight was already leaning in his favor. The long sword has more reach than daggers, and the armor is wrapped from head to toe. All external factors were predicting my loss. The only way I could take a victory was by just being a better fighter. But thatll be tough too. You could tell that he was highly skilled by looking at the remnants of his fight with the wolves. At my current level, I didnt have a chance of winning a one-on-one. Then I have to introduce some vtility. I carefully asked a question, not letting my guard down. Ive never heard of an intrusion before. Where did youe from? As expected of a primitive, they dont even know that a Floor Intrusion is. Heh. What started as a smirk evolved into a full-blownughter that you could see through the armor. Who the hell is this dumbass I almost lost my temper at the immature insults, but I quickly regained myposure. He, at the very least, thinks Im more primitive than him. I have to use that to my advantage. Floor intrusion can you tell me what that is? Is your head as empty as your civilization? Think about it from my perspective. Would you answer your question? Unlike his childish dialogue, he seemed to think through things. Obviously, he wouldnt answer such a direct ques Whatever, youre gonna die soon anyway. No, I guess he would. Hes ying around with me even though he was gonna tell me anyway. But that signified just how much he was looking down on me. One of the features that are unlocked at the 8th floor is called Floor Intrusion. You can buy a pass in the marketce to interfere with other peoples trials. He continued to speak. Of course, your primitive dimension could never reach the 8th floor. Then can I assume youre from a different world? Where else would I be from? I see. After responding to him, I muttered quietly. Focusing as much as I could on what the knight had said Eye of truth. Activating the skill Eye of Truth. The following person is telling the truth. The skill confirmed that he did, in fact,e from a different dimension. Its soplicated, damn it. I guess it wasnt too out of the question considering that the Tower of Trials and dungeons exist This whole thing is bigger than I thought It was then Youve done something insolent. How dare you try to judge me. He must have noticed that I activated my skill. I gave him the biggest smile I could. What are you gonna do about it? I found out everything I needed from him and he was pretty hostile against me. And its not like hed tell me anything else at this point. As such, there was no need to keep up this charade. What what? How dare you The ck knight trembled in anger, but I took that time to sneak an attack in. In mid-sentence, I lunged forward with my de. Pss kang! Did you really think that this would work? The knight red his eyes through his helmet as he parried the de. I thought I caught him off guard I had to give him some credit for that. Hes not someone I could beat by using some cheap tricks. Kang! I swung my dagger one more time before taking a step back. There were a couple of things I figured out in that brief exchange. This knight guys stats arent too far off from mine. We both swung with one hand, but I was a tad above him in terms of strength. I could feel that he was pushed back for a brief moment. Though, make no mistake This man didnt have a drop of sweat on him after clearing the 5th trial. That alone demonstrated his experience and prowess. The most dangerous part about him might be his skills though. Then I have to be ready to fend him off. Keeping all of the avable skills in my head, I stepped back to take a stance. The most useful one in my arsenal was Instant eleration. Sustain Battle only activates when my life is at risk and physical resistance is a passive. I had a bunch of others, but they were essentially all passive skills. It was safe to say that the only active skill I had was Instant eleration. Agility is my highest stat, so I have to use that to my advantage. I had to or else Id be taken out by whatever he was hiding. The knight stood in front of me nking around, and then he clicked his tongue. Tsk, is it because its just the 5th floor? The restrictions are so strong. This had been on my mind for a while but why was he like this? The way he talked to himself mid-battle. Very inefficient. Is he just a narcissist? He could be lying about the restrictions but I didnt think he was smart enough to say these things just to throw me off. Im getting serious now, primitive. He pulled his de to his waist and stood it up vertically. This might be preparation for a skill. Koong. His de strutted forward as he stepped off the floor. A swing from a distance that would never reach me. Id experienced something like this on the third trial. Koonphh! The tip of his sword extended with a swift noise. I twisted my torso in response, and it barely skimmed past my ribs. sh. Khmm. A small moan slipped out with the injury. Activating skill elerated Regeneration. The newly ranked-up skill got rid of the scratch instantly, but the aching pain still lingered. He was underestimating me for a reason. I scowled at his sword, which was back to its original strength. There was a reason why the system evaluated him so highly. Watch carefully, twinkle toes. Youll die otherwise. The ck knight yfully presumed his stance again, as if he was ying a game. Like a child stepping on one ant at a time. Thats exactly how he viewed me. Fucking bastard. This was what he did after walking into a strangers trial? I almost let my anger get the best of me, but I had to simmer it down. Calmly, I had to think of what could rectify this situation Whoosh! His de swung at me again before I could finish that thought. I was able to dodge it without being hit this time, but the swordsman was still confident. Oh, arent you a speedy one? Not bad for a 5th floor challenger. I couldnt afford to give him a snarky response. I had to reveal a little more of my strength. I was saving instant eleration as ast resort, but I can still use this. There was a reason why I didnt sell the assassins cloak at the hunters market. Using the Assassins Cloak(C)s active ability. Movement speed +15% Activation time left C 00:00:59 This was the reason. Koong. The distance between us closed as I pushed off the floor. Of course, the knight seemed to have expected this and didnt panic. Closing the distance Do you think youd stand a chance then? The sword in his hand followed a clean but destructive path. Ssssp! I was definitely ahead of him in terms of strength and speed, but his attacks were disproportionately fast. The aura surrounding his sword was definitely not an ordinary skill. What the! Voosh! The shield attached to my arm split in half and an extreme wave of pain jolted through it. I pulled back when his sword was about halfway through my arm, before he could get to the bone. Kwang! As he saw me tripping backward, the knight continued to smirk. Oh no, it would have been less painful if the arm was cut off clean. I ignored the offender and pushed down on the cut as hard as I could with my right arm. The extreme agony made me want to scream out, but it soon soothed itself. The skill Pain Resistance is active now. All forms of pain the user feels will be reduced by 15% The skill Sustain Battle is active now. All restrictions on the user will be weakened. The two skills grounded me from the pain. I had to stay calm, especially at times like these. After pushing the cut down for a bit, elerated Regeneration was already starting to reattach my arm. Maybe what was considered life-threatening became more lenient with the rank up. I wasnt sure but I was regaining my cool after my injuries started to heal. Haha, you have some interesting skills. As he made light of the situation, my head was clearer than ever. I wasnt sure what skill he used, but the aura surrounding his sword was dangerous. It must be a skill rted to cutting force. The skill probably increased cutting force with mana reinforcement. Those kinds of skills were pretty rare besides the weapon skills but I had heard that they exist. Although there was never any information about the aura being this ominous. Whatever it is, its not something I can deal with at my level. This was the result of me dealing with it. The shield I spent a fortune on was in two pieces and my arm was almost cut off. Im only alive because of the cloak. If I was any slower, my head would have been the one cut off. I guess theres no way around this. I wriggled my left arm back and forth and red at the ck knight. His skills were definitely threatening. But as far as the stats go, Im still a little ahead. Then there was only one way to kill this madman. I moved my hands quickly to activate necromancy. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls. Strength increased by 2. Agility increased by 3. Stamina increased by 3. Mana increased by 5. Tenacity increased by 7. The knight seemed to notice this change in my body andughed it off. Physical strengthening, fun. As though he knew Id be powerless against him no matter what I did. I checked the time left on the assassins cloak and got ready to go in. My left arm was basically healed and my stats were higher than ever. This is the best I can do Only one thing left. Instant eleration. Mana left my body and took the weight of my body along with it. This was on another level from any of the other skills Id used. The knight also twitched, as if he knew something just changed. How does a damn primitive have so many skills As he muttered to himself again, the knight got up on the tips of his feet. Like apressed spring, I exploded forward at a speed as Id never seen before. Fucking primitive! The ck knight wrapped himself in a red shroud of energy. I didnt know what exactly he did, but his movements also got faster. Though that wasnt enough to catch up to me. Not with all the bonuses from the cloak and skills. The knights de passed me at a hairs length, and I stuck my foot out. CHANG! The sound of the foot and the armor shing rang throughout the cave. The knight caught himself right before stumbling to his knee. I couldnt help but smile at the sign of his weakness. He also seemed to have lost his yfulness. That means hes considering me a threat now. If I could take advantage of my speed again I wouldnt let him overpower me with whatever aura that was. If I could manage that I have a chance of winning. I could finally see the light. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Yall think hes abouta bring some aura back to the next group trial? Chapter 31: Intrusion (4) Chapter 31: Intrusion (4) Just as I was about to take another step, he opened his mouth. I underestimated you. I didnt realize the owner of this trial was a high ranker. I didnt expect his sudden approval, but I didnt pay much attention. Ill admit it. Youre better than all the other primitives. The only thing on my mind was how to take down the enemy in front of me. Time left C 00:00:21 The buff from the assassins cloak was about to run out. I had to end this now. I gripped the sword in my hand and lunged forward. Instead of blocking the attack, he opted to swing his sword at me. Seeing that, I folded my torso into my legs to dodge the attack. Whoo-phew-! Kang! It was a one-sided exchange, but the result was disappointing. The ck armor blocked my sword and rendered my attack useless. Did you think you could even scratch my armor with that flimsy sword? As the embodiment of agility, it wasnt too hard to dodge all of his attacks. The only problem was Even if my attacks hit, it wont get through his armor. That was the biggest problem. The enemy had a skill that could split my shield, but I didnt have anything like that. Now was not the time to sound weak. Time left C 00:00:16 I was about to lose the upper hand. But it wasnt like I had nothing. I didnt waste all my points on this weapon for a reason. There was no time to hesitate since I had no other options. As I was about to pour all my mana into my feet Insolent. The ck knights sword was encased with a red aura. Phuaa! The violently dancing aura was even more dangerous than before. Im going to split you in two. Chills spread down my neck before I remembered that I had to keep moving. Fuck. Just as he said, his sword could slice through me like a hot knife through butter. I was risking my life to justnd a meaningless blow, while a single attack from him could mean the end of me. The ck knight also seemed to acknowledge this as he charged in without hesitation. He was talking about underestimating me before but its probably a load of bullshit.; He wouldnt be charging at me like this if he believed I could get through his armor. Thats why it was more important than ever to fight. Whoosh! Kang! Crack! Voosh! With every swing he made, the walls split and the floors echoed. Thanks to the energy around his sword, even just a scrape of his sword was enough to engrave the walls. Is this the aura that the Eye of Truth was talking about? I had no idea who allowed this, but he was slicing through the hardened cave walls like tofu. I could emte it if Id wanted to, but it wouldnt be as smooth as this. Hahaha, run as much as youd like! You wontst long like this! A monster among monsters. My body seemed to move faster knowing that one wrong move could lead to my doom. The ease at which he seemed to move suggested that he had no problems with keeping this up for the near future. ng! Chang! Kaang! No matter how hard I swung, the armor didnt even scratch, and the knight became more and more haughty. He stopped hesitating and staying wary of my attacks, instead opting to use shier and bigger skills with a lot of blind spots. And that was my only path to victory. One, two, three, four Inded an increasing number of blows on his armor, and by the time that number hit double digits Vuaaaa! A blinding ball of light condensed at the edge of the de and exploded. It wasnt just light but an explosive ball of electricity. What the f! The knight finally realized and tried retreating but Thunder de Attacking with this weapon has a 10% chance to inflict an electrocute effect. It didnt matter since it was already toote to step back. I was a little nervous because it wasnt activating as soon as I had expected, but the explosion of lightning assured me Kraaaang! That Id be the victor of this battle. *** G-ghaaaa.! I clicked my tongue as the knightid on the ground, twitching. Whatever dimension he came from, he wasnt immune to electricity. It would have been a pain in the ass if he had any resistance to it. I bet my life on that, and I won. Tsk, I was so close to dying. I swung like crazy and only got the effect to activate once. I wasnt that lucky to begin with, but this is a little ridiculous. Maybe the 10% wasnt that urate. Seeing how little it activated when I fought the wolves, it wasntpletely out of the picture. Y-you basta A mere p-primitive I heard a small mumbling from the floor. The paralysis mustve been wearing off because he was desperately trying to grasp the floor. He wouldnt have gone down this easily if he had something like sustain battle. The only skill he really had was that aura. Maybe he wasnt even that strong of an opponent if you thought about it that way. If he wasnt lying, he did say something about his skills being restricted. Well, that didnt matter anymore. Whatever it was, I won my fight fair and square, and he was the oneying on the floor right now. H-how does a mere 5th-floor challenger have so many skills! Maybe all of his stats reset on the first floor as well. I should have won! How did a fucking primitive! Maybe you were just weak. And stupid enough to blindly rely on that aura skill. No fucking way a 5th floor against me! Its about time we end this. I was also feeling a little tingly from the ssh effect of the electricity but Not enough to paralyze me. I decided to end this while I still had the chance. I want to keep asking him questions but that could be dangerous. I stood above his head, ready to strike my de down. W-wait, I can answer any questio No thanks, I dont care. I stabbed the de into his head while his mouth was still open. Clean and swift. After shoving my sword through a space between his helmet and jiggling it around, he finally stopped moving. I felt like I was bing more and more desensitized to killing someone but Its not bad. Feeling guilty every time I had to kill someone would pose its own threats. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 5. The popup message confirmed my kill. And Sssst The knights bodypletely disintegrated and poured out from the armor. The otherworldly knight had died and couldnt harm me anymore. A wave of relief flushed over me after confirming my safety. The necromancy mark wasnt there, but that didnt disappoint me. My survival was enough of a reward right now. God damn, that was close. If I hadnt purchased the thunder de before The process wouldnt have been as easy as it was. I wouldve needed to use everything in my arsenal and wouldve spent some more time rolling in the dirt. Good thing I also increased my stats right then. Of course, this didnt get rid of all the entangled thoughts in my head. Everything, from other dimensions to intrusions, was fleeting around my head. It was difficult to grasp these things because I didnt even realize they had existed until now. But I gave up and put on a smile. Yeah, it would be weirder if the ce was more normal. It would be arrogant of me to assume that Id be able to understand what this tower was doing. Maybe Ive been too satisfied recently. As dangerous as that was, I still learned a lot from that. Especially that no matter how strong I got, my life would always be in danger. I thought I was already being careful in my own right, but I better step it up. Eh, I guess I got a little nugget of wisdom, if you could call it that. I have something to ask once I get to the 8th floor. Like what the hell other dimensions were and some more details on the whole intrusion thing. The tower is a ck box system and the only way to navigate it is through the questions they allow us. Now is not the time to use them yet. It wouldnt be toote to scope out the situation until the 8th floor before choosing to ask a question. Still deep in thought, I noticed something strange out of the corner of my eye. ? Where were the reward messages that should be filling my view? What the I scrunched my face in confusion at a message Id never seen before. The difficulty of the trial is not proportional to the reward. Recalibrating the rewards. What are they saying They were going to change my reward after I went through this whole ordeal? I could smell the corruption from here. There would be nothing worse than the quality of the rewards going down. Recalibrated. Awarding the rewards. Couldnt they just give me what they promi As a reward, you have received the skill Triple Laceration (A-). As a reward, you have received 7,500 points. As a bonus reward, you have received 3,500 points. Please move to the waiting area. Moving to the waiting room. I froze in ce after reading the messages in front of me. Uh, umm. The reward was exchanged from a C- item to an A- skill. Comparing them was an insult to the skill. My anger melted away as I saw 11,000 points and an A- rank skill. This is more like the tower of trials. This was what I wanted to see. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC: May I speak to the manag- Manager: Yes? MC: I just wanted toment on the wonderful work you were doing Sucks that he didnt get to suck him Chapter 32: Capture the Flag (1) Chapter 32: Capture the g (1) You have entered the 6th floor waiting room. Healing all injuries and status ailments. The healing effect is constantly applied in the waiting room. Challenger Han Sungyeuns information is published on the leaderboard. After stepping into the blue portal, the 6th floor waiting room appeared. It was just as empty as I remembered it, but I got a sense offort from it now. Hm, what shall I do first I sat on the floor of the stone room, wondering what to do next. I had to go through my rewards, but there was something I had to take care of before that. I should do this first. The Covert Hunters Shield that was destroyed by the knight in the 5th trial had to be repaired. Hm, it feels like a waste because I can only use it once, but thats why I bought it. Better use it now than die saving it. The shield was just small enough to fit in the box. I activated it without giving it any more thought and pushed some mana into it. Activating Krocken Magic Towers Repair Box. Uses left C 1/1 The ashy stars on the box lit up gently, notifying me that the repair was over. I dont see any changes on the outside. A little doubtful, I opened up the magic box and There it was, a shield in its perfect condition. I was astonished at the wless shield. Damn It was definitely worth the money I spent on it. The Covert Hunters Shield was worth more than whatever the box cost. If I could sell it back to Earth, I could get at least 2 repair boxes for it. There was no use in regretting it now anyway. If I could keep repairing these kinds of items and selling them back on Earth It could be a profitable business. Then I activated the cleansing stone to freshen up. Whooof A gust of wind wrapped around my body and evaporated the dry wolf blood from my skin. It felt a littlevish to have it just forfort but After using it, it didnt really feel like a waste of money. Theres a bare minimum of how a human being should act. Stayingfortable wasnt a waste. Now, lets see what the reward I got was This was the only thing I got from that. Skill C Triple Laceration (A-) Proficiency C 0% Basic effect C Using mana, strengthen a de for three attacks. Detailed effect C Upon using the skill, the cutting force of ded attacks increases by 1.5/2.0/2.5 times after each attack. A skill rted to cutting force It must have been simr to the aura skill that the knight was using. Maybe it was because its an A- skill, but the system had more details about the skill. The system exined the details almost as if it was an innate ability. More importantly, the proficiency for this skill was 0%. That meant, unlike the Eye of Truth, this skill could be ranked up. I was wondering what to do after the daggermanship skill maxes out This skill could be a good addition to that one. Of course, that was still only a temporary fix. They said that I could even buy skills after reaching the 8th floor, so I should be fine. It wasnt something I should worry about at the moment. Aftering to that conclusion, I checked out my stats. Han Sungyeun Strength C 54 Stamina C 51 Agility C 54 Mana C 43 Tenacity C 43 Innate ability C Necromancy (E) Skill C See details Hm, not much different on this end. The numbers did increase, but not by a lot. Of course, it wasntpletely meaningless. Nothing stood out though, so I opened the leaderboard. 5th Trial Evaluations I was scrolling down the leaderboard when. Uh? 3rd, Hunter(S) I saw my nickname within the top ten and. Then stared at the evaluation. 3rd, Hunter(S) I thought I was seeing things for a second but it wasnt that. I kept on blinking but the S didnt move. S grade. I didnt know what to say Even after doing all that on the 4th trail, I couldnt even touch an S. I dont know how the tower evaluated our performances but it deemed me worthy of an S. And what was even more amazing was my rank. 3rd thats a little strange. On the 4th trial, even challengers who received a higher rank than this were ced lower. That meant some people were just ced lower in general. The guy with the Headygongdu nickname ced 6th with just a B grade. And there are a bunch more below. B-, C+, C, C- All the grades were generally low and all clustered together in the same area. There were also a couple of people who were newly admitted as pioneers Some of the initial pioneers might have even failed out. I wasnt sure why, but that was just how the 5th trial handled things. Unfortunate for the people around the edge of 50th ce. Of course That has nothing to do with me cing 3rd. But this was still a unique situation. Making the grading criteria stricter to bnce the system. That must mean the perk of being a pioneer is that great. I wasnt sure what exactly they had nned, but it must be something worth fighting for. Whether its a skill or an item. But The better the reward, the higher the risk. Even I knew that. Anyway, there was something else to think about at this point. The ck knight he said he was from a different dimension. There were more urgent matters, so I hadnt thought about it too much, but this was also a big deal. The existence of a different dimension, and how hostile he was towards me. I wont be able to guarantee my survival if something like this happens again. This time, I didnt die because I failed to meet the failure requirement. But what if this happens again? If they steal my trial objective and Im forced to meet my failure requirement Ill die for sure. That was 100% the worst-case scenario. I wanted to save my questions until the 8th floor but This wasnt something I could wait to find out. If its information pertinent to keeping me alive, theres no use in dying it. Please ask a question. The administrator will answer the submitted question. Currently avable questions C 5 I started typing out the words on the holographic keyboard. Amidst my 5th trial, I met a challenger who imed toe from a different dimension. This challenger stole my objective and tried to kill me. What is a floor intrusion and what kind of being is the man from a different dimension? And under what conditions do these events ur and how can I know if it happens? Others said that the administrators didnt fully answer questions. I made my question as detailed as possible. This should be enough. I reread my question and clicked on the Submit button. The question has been submitted. And just a secondter. An answer has arrived. Already? It was unexpected but good news. And who am I to assume the mysterious being controlling this tower abides by time? So I clicked on the little envelope icon next to that message. But something was off. Cannotprehend higher-level concepts at your current floor. Can only confirm a part of the answer. This does not use your avable questions. A higher level concept. Maybe it was because I asked about the floor intrusion or other dimensions but The tower decided to censor some of the details from me. Honestly, I thought they would answer whatever I was curious about, but I guess there were floor restrictions. At least my questions arent being used. If they were, Id be totally outraged but I was getting some information for free now. So, instead of getting mad, I turned my attention to the partial answer I got. Floor intrusion is a system that allows challengers to join another challengers trial within 10 floors. But, it cannot interfere with special trials like apetitive trial. This system will be avable after getting to the 8th floor. I finally got exactly what that knight was talking about. Breaking thedder, huh. Getting rid ofpetition before they reach the 8th floor. Because they wouldnt know anything about this system or how to deal with it. Even if that wasnt the case, it was unsettling to know that you could interfere with lower-floor trials. I didnt know the exact benefits you could gain from doing that, but there were already a few cases I could think of. While trying to scroll further down, an rm rang. Biiii~! The following information is not essible on the current floor. A message popped up and erased everything on the screen. I guess it cant tell me anything extra. Considering it didnt use any of my questions, it couldnt possibly give anything that useful. A small message popped up after that, but it wasnt much help. Most challengers from other dimensions will be hostile to challengers in your dimension. I guess the questions arent a be-all-end-all either. Practically speaking, I only learned a little bit about the floor intrusion and nothing else about all the other information I requested. It was as if they were telling me that the information had to be earned. I guess I just have to keep climbing I closed the question window and opened themunity instead. You have entered themunity. Maybe someone else went through a simr experience. But that thought went away as soon as I saw the messages. Themunity was in a state of chaos. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC: *Worries like hell* MC: But I dont have to worry about that yet Chapter 33: Capture the Flag (2) Chapter 33: Capture the g (2) Chaos. It was the only word to describe the situation. Each new messageing in was increasingly disastrous Seeing these people talk so lightly about murder and piging was almost chilling. I couldnt even begin to imagine what happened to cause something like this. I nkly stared at the screen as the messages continued. This wasnt normal. They were trying to justify whatever they were doing by saying it was efficient or some other bullshit, but that wasnt the problem. This is straight-up psychopathic. I scowled at the continued onught of messages. Of course, I knew exactly why these transactions consisted of this. The 6th trial must force you to kill someone. And you could probably make a big profit if you had any information rted to that. Selling the other achievements might be crazy, but those rted to fighting other challengers were eventually bound to be discovered. This is bad, even if all the high rankers already passed this trial. This was beyond killing just to survive. They were trying to squeeze everyst thing they could from this. And they were encouraging others to do the same by offering information. Doesnt look like anyones met challengers from another world. And even if they had, Id be releasing too much information by asking about it publicly. Nothing worse than getting these freaks attention. Ill just observe the current situation. I guess it made sense that thats what everyone wanted these skills for. Those resistances might sound enticing at first, but it was a double-edged sword. There would definitely be a problem if you constantly pushed your psychological pain off onto a skill. Its known to make you more level-headed but That could be fatal in a ce like the tower, where you have to go through life-threatening trials day after day. The fact that you essentially feel no emotional pain without any choice It could be enticing to those with a weak mentality, but things could turn out badly if you used it to justify everything that you do. This chat was living proof of that. I think I finally saw the dark side of the tower. Some people might see this tower as a brand new chance but To others, the tower has taken everything. The lower-ranked challengers left on the 5th floor were showing me the reality. I must have never known since Id always entered the trials as soon as they were ready. Maybe the same conversations were repeating on the lower floors. But I had no right to be angry at the tower. If I had never entered the tower and stayed in the outside world instead Id be in a much worse situation than these people. The world has always worked like this. The winners take everything, and the losers get nothing. Who, then, would hesitate? If I had to step over someone to get stronger, Id dly do so. I wouldnt sympathize or scrutinize these challengers anymore. Everyone was mypetition and I wasnt here to determine whos wrong and whos right. Id just observe. What these challengers were preparing and how theyd use it. Itd be easier to deal with them if I knew what they were up to. Information is power. *** Floor 6 trial starting in C 1hrs 12min Unlike the other trials, there wasnt much I could do to prepare for this one. I was past the point of getting used to my stats and equipment. I mightve kept training in the past but That was beneath me now. Once you reach my level of sensitivity, you could instantly get ustomed to higher stats. Of course, I wouldnt waste time doing nothing. I was collecting information. There were people who shared achievements for free, and there were people who revealed information about others. There wasnt anything too informative there, but this was enough toe to a conclusion. You cant trust anyone on the 6th trial. Theres a lot of crazy people here, huh? This put that guy I met in the 4th trial, Lee Sunghoon, in a much better light. One thing I found out was more information about this Headygongdu guy. Hes the guy who ruined the vibe on the 4th floor. It must have been someone who stayed behind during the 4th trial to find out about the name change. Of course, I could find out more if I spent some points but No point of wasting points talking to these people. Especially since all the information being revealed was pretty trivial. Plus, I didnt want to be a public target like Headygongdu. Ill stay away from saying anything in the chat. Time passed by while I was reading the chat and Do you ept the 6th floor trial? Of course, I epted, and the blue portal materialized in front of my eyes. Voom! Entering Tower of Trials floor 6. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is conquering. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. Shaaa, shaaa. The sound of waves informed me of where I was before my eyes could recognize it. The ocean? The 6th floor trial is starting soon. Remaining time C 50 minutes Trial sess condition C Capture at one of the surrounding tiles before the time runs out. Trial fail condition C Challengers death or time out Trial sess reward C Random Box (B) Trial fail penalty C Death In the middle of an ocean that extended as far as the eyes could see, touching the sky at the horizon I was standing on a tform formed from tens and thousands of connected tiles. The scene was finally settling into my head. Contrary to the 5th trial, which was in a cave, the 6th trial was being conducted on the sea. On floating tiles too. A little out of the blue, but what else could I expect from the tower. It was then Voom, voom. A bunch of portals appeared on top of various tiles as the challengers began walking in. As a message popped up, portals on tiles adjacent to me opened up as well. Teams have been dispatched. Coborate with your team and clear the trial. Like the 4th trial, I must have teammates on the 6th trial too. Anyones fine as long as theyre not like Lee Sunghoon. Just then. Shhhhk! A golden de popped out of the portal and almost skimmed my nose. What the! I honestly didnt know how to react when a de came out instead of the expected challenger. Contrary to my surprise, my body reacted automatically and stepped back to dodge the attack. Tup. I then grabbed the golden de with my bare hands Something I learned that I could do after reaching 43 on my tenacity. I found out that if I focused on not grabbing the de too hard, I wouldnt get cut by even C-rank items. As such, I was pretty confident that none of the weapons that these lower-rankers had could cut me. H-huh?? I heard a flustered voice through the portal as I calmly yanked the sword and Also pulled the man attached to it. Foop! Betrayer achievement unlocked. Strength increased by 1. Blood sttered through the holographic message. Fucking shit. The 6th trial was off to a rough start. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Hands up if you think someone is gonna whoop mcs ass cuz he thinks everyone is a low ranker Chapter 34: Capture the Flag (3) Chapter 34: Capture the g (3) I didnt expect something like this to happen so soon into the 6th trial. Betrayer achievement unlocked. I wondered what that challenger was thinking just now. Was he just a madman? Or was this all calcted? Whatever it was, a normal person definitely wouldnt have swung a sword through the portal. He definitely had the intention of killing someone. Damn it. I didnt let my guard down. Teammates couldnt be trusted, and there were a lot of challengers equipped with psychological resistance. The problem wasnt that I let my guard down. He really just took a stab in the dark hoping someone would die. There was no way anyone could assume that something like that could happen from an empty portal. If it was anyone else, their heads would already be rolling on the floor by now. The only reason mine is still attached is because of my overwhelming stats. Why do I feel like this happens to me pretty often? I scowled at the corpse losing warmth at my feet. The challenger from the other world, my teammates from the 4th trial Why does it seem like Im always getting the short end of the stick? Im already down a teammate for the rest of the trial. Worst case scenario already. Any team with all teammates present would already have a leg up on me. I should just scope out the other teams. And when I turned my head with this realization I couldnt believe the sight in front of my eyes. Heehaaaha! Its an achievement! My strength really went up! Damn it, no one mentioned it being on water! P-please S-save me. A p-potion Screams of agony came from every direction as blood sttered everywhere. Excitement, rage, surprise, despair, desire, regret, etc Various emotions echoed throughout an endless ocean in one simultaneous harmony. I guess I dont have it that bad. It looked like others had it far worse than I did. Like if hell existed, this might be it. Everyones lost their minds They werent even looking at the trials objective before jumping at each other for the achievements. Each murder was being carried out in its own unique and special way. Theyd lost sight of the most important thing. Conquering one of the four tiles. It looked like they were fighting with a goal in mind. There were a couple of people huddling somewhere but Damn it! Your stats go down if you fall in the water, be careful! Th-the tile is moving too much I cant bnce myself! Waaaait! S-save me! I-I cant get up! It didnt look like they were faring any better either. Your stats go down when you fall in the water and the tile shifts every time you move. I gathered information while watching some of the other contestants move around. Staying faithful to its origins, the Tower of Trials was full of dangers. Of course Hey, this is easier than I thought. It wasnt enough to impede my movements. Shaa, shaa! All you had to do was stay away from the water, and the shifting tiles didnt really bother me. If you took my stats into ount, there was no way I could just lose my bnce. Even the 5th trial was easier than this. Tap, tap, tap. The shifting movements of the tiles only made it easier to move in a rhythm. Even while I was riding the waves, most challengers still couldnt take their first steps. If I reach the tile like this, will the trial just end? Tap. I stepped onto the red tile on the edge as I continued to think and Starting to conquer the northern tile. It wasnt as easy as I hoped it was. The conquering will pause when another team steps onto the tile. Your progress will not stop as long as another team doesnt step into the tile. Prevent the other teams from getting into this tile. Time left C 9min 59 secs Conquering I guess the only problem is. The conquering requirement is a little fickle. Standing my ground for 10 minutes in this chaos And itll be so much harder since Im alone. The only pro is that other teams have also lost a lot of members. I took a look around my surroundings and confirmed. Its not impossible. There wasnt anyone as skilled as the otherworldly traveler I saw in thest trial. Most of them couldnt even stand up straight. I was only nervous in the beginning because I started without a teammate. Makes sense considering theyve all gotten low evaluations on the 5th trial. The high-rankers who passed the 5th trial ages ago were probably already above the 6th trial. Of course, there were probably people who used the return stone or had other reasons foring upte. People like me. It was then Go north! The guy there is by himself! I felt the attention drawn in my direction as someone pointed at me. Y-yeah! And he doesnt seem to be using any protection magic No. He doesnt have a teammate. Maybe hes just trying to get achievements. Fuck, whats the worst that can happen? Death? Im going in! There was a mixed bag of reactions, but most of them saw it as a tasty treat. The other challengers tiptoed towards me as I stared right back. Hmm, I dont like the way this is going. One person was enough to turn this chaos and direct it all towards me. I guess there are politicians everywhere you go. Just like that guy HeadyGongdu. Just like the guy who turned everyones attention towards me and slipped out the back. But I didnt have that manyints about it. Eh, I expected all of this to happen. You could solve most problems in this tower with pure force. The five or so challengers in front of me didnt seem to be part of one team but They seemed to have recognized me as themon enemy and united to attack. They werent even aware of the fact that they were being distracted, but I had no intentions of letting them know. I needed a way to increase my necromancy proficiency anyway. Thesepetitive trials were like a special event for me. An extremely profitable event where I could train my innate ability and maybe even pick up some extra skills along the way. This is what Im talking about. I put on a faint smile as they rushed towards me. They looked like some tasty experience. *** To be honest, I didnt really have to kill all of them. All I had to do was keep them off for 10 minutes. I couldve let them live if I really wanted to. They were all weak enough that I wouldnt have had much trouble doing so as well. And that could increase their chances of survival. But Id just be prolonging their misery. Even if I send them to another tile, someone had to die. Whether you were defending or invading, only one side could survive. It wasnt my job to decide what was right and wrong Nor was it my job to feel pity for these lower-rankers. Die! The invaders were swift and to the point. One of the men who got nearby lounged at me with a spear. The pursuing challengers took his lead to attack with their respective weapons. Damn it! If Im gonna die either way! Heart Solidarity! Due to the innate ability Heart Solidarity yer Kim Jinhyun and Han Sungyeuns pain will now be shared. Koong.! It felt like a heavy piece of copper fell on my heart and a message popped up. Sharing pain? Is it another mana-based innate ability? Maybe it was because I didnt have any mana resistance skills but There was nothing I could do against these types of attacks. I could dodge or block it if it was a physical attack or something Ill have to look into mana resistance stillster. Even while my mind was focused on these topics, my body moved on its own. I grabbed the iing spear with my left hand and jumped up to decapitate the attacker. sh! One Punch Man achievement unlocked. Contempt for the Weak (F) skill generated. A message telling me something appeared, but I had no time to check it. Three left now. I couldnt be relieved with enemies still in front of me. I quickly stepped off the red tile and stepped to an adjacent one. Thankfully, one of the messages that showed up when I stepped on the red tile was this. Your progress will not stop as long as another team doesnt step into the tile. My progress would continue as long as someone else didnt step on it. That meant I could move around freely without having to worry about the conquering progress. The longer they were alive, the more likely they were to try something. Ill take care of them now while I still can. Activating the skill Contempt for the Weak. All five of the enemys main stats are lower than yours. Enemies are more easily threatened by you and your strength goes up by 1. The skill that I had just received activated and added more energy to my steps. The new skill was interesting, but I almostughed out loud at the message I just saw. Not a single one of their stats are higher huh That meant they stood no chance against me, other than possible irregrities. What the fuck How is he so strong! Holy sh Fuck, stop him from moving! Arent you a magician! Put up a shield! Shut the fuck up, you think magic is omnipotent! How am I supposed to put up a shield on these tiles?! Tap, tap, tap. Maybe it was because of the new skill, but the challengers were in a state of panic. I almost let out a sigh at how pathetic the challengers were. If it was me, I would have tried using the water beneath us or moved on to a different tile. I might have struggled a bit with the reduced stats but They were the ones being held down by the water. It was pathetic. Well, whatever. This wasnt where I was supposed to be anyway. I would have been on the higher floors with all of the other high rankers but I was just a little dyed from returning to Earth. If I wanted a bit more excitement I have to climb higher. Where the stronger challengers were, where the harder trials were. Id never get stronger dealing with these assholes. If the tower rewarded its contestants fairly There was no way that this massacre would get me anything worthwhile. I had to get back to the front lines. And in order to do that Ill have to end these small fries. Ive had enough of this trial now. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC is in a bronze game as a challenger wondering why the teams are turning against each other Chapter 35: Capture the Flag (4) Chapter 35: Capture the g (4) Inded on the tile that the three challengers were on. The challengers standing across from me were silent all of the sudden. I guess they didnt have that peace of mind anymore. Step, step. I strutted towards the challengers and they finally started to react. F-fuck! I couldnt fullyprehend what the man decided to do at first. Shaak! Arrrrggghh! He pulled out a dagger and stabbed himself in the hand. All of the sudden, a burning sensation in my left hand. Ah. I tended to keep my suffering to myself, but a little sound managed to slip out. The sensation I felt on the top of my hand, and the mans act of self-harm werent unrted. Is it? I just remembered the message that I waved away a second ago. Due to the innate ability Heart Solidarity yer Kim Jinhyun and Han Sungyeuns pain will now be shared. His actions seemed a lot more reasonable now that I remembered that. I see, he called it Heart Solidarity. I was wondering what stabbing himself was all about but I guess it was to cause me pain. To warn me that all pain inflicted onto him would be directly transferred to me. He was trying to guarantee his safety by threatening me. What a fucking annoying innate ability. The pain didnt fade and settled itself in like an unwee guest. It wasnt anything physical, it was purely just the pain. As I was about to take another step Stop, stop! Donte any closer! The challenger who cast the spell on me threatened me while pointing a knife at himself. Y-youll feel my pain if you kill me. You dont want that right? What a fucking prick. I dont want that. T-then But thats not a reason to avoid a fight. W-wait. I think youre misunderstanding something, we can just give up on th I started moving before he could even finish talking. He hadnt even realized that he was revealing all his openings while he talked. I closed the distance in an instant and swung my sword lightly. Wha That was challenger Kim Jinhyuns lost words. Stt! A misunderstanding, giving up what a load of bullshit. Would he have said those things if he was stronger than me? I could guarantee that he wouldnt have. Ugh. Pain spread through my neck to a suffocating degree, but I paid no attention. The skill Pain Resistance is active now. All forms of pain the user feels will be reduced by 15% The pain went away as quickly as it came. My neck was still aching and I felt like throwing up but Grip. It wasnt enough to affect me swinging this sword. H-holy shit. This guy is batshit crazy! The people behind Kim Jinhyun started moving as soon as he fell. Alright, lets go, you bastard! Someones gonna die here! He held up his giant shield and rushed toward me because he knew I wouldnt let him retreat any further. His n was probably to push me off the tile and get me in the water but That only worked if you could outmaneuver your enemy. Hes slow. The number 54 next to my agility wasnt there just for show. Fssh! I slightly twisted my body to dodge his blitz and stuck my foot out. Tink. Wooaah! The challenger tripped on my leg, lost his bnce, and fell t on his face. Dashing forward on a floating tile, especially with those stats It was like he was begging me to kill him. And so I did. Ahhhhhhh! Maybe it was because he was a big man with a fitting steel armor and shield but The challengers body proceeded to slip straight into the ocean after falling. Ploop! Bua aghha F-fuck! H-help m With the reduction in his stats, he could barely even stay afloat. Crack! I ended his misery by shoving my sword into his barely floating head. Merciless Murderer achievement unlocked. Agility increased by 1. Uh, uuhhhhh The magician in the back inched backward while shaking. He was worse than the two that preceded him. I-I to d-different tile! P-please! Skt! The magicians head fell into the ocean as it slowly sank into the abyss. Cold-blooded Climber achievement unlocked. Agility increased by 1. You have received 1,500 points. *** *** Some people did mention that murder was the number one way to unlock more achievements. I just killed only three more people, but I acquired a bunch of achievements. One Punch Man, Merciless Murderer, Cold-blooded Cilmber. Id already received three achievements from the 6th trial. I could tell why the other challengers were going crazy for it. If I could give up my humanity and just farm achievements Ill get that many more achievements and grow that much stronger. But I didnt want to be that bloodthirsty. Ill kill the ones who try to fight me but I didnt want to go any further than that. Because the results of throwing away your humanity were right in front of my eyes. I-I didnt do anything wrong Its their fault for getting killed! Ha hahaha, I-I did it! Fuck, Im alive! Crazy bastards, they literally just killed their teammates as well. Look at all these achievements The trial is already worth it. These despicable emotions were felt throughout the entire stage. The smell of blood mixed with the salty scent of the ocean passed me by in a refreshing breeze. Looking at the corpses on the tiles, it seemed like all the fights came to their own conclusions. Time Left C 4 min 17 secs It hadnt even been 10 minutes, yet most of the challengers were already dead. This happened earlier than I expected, but thats that. There was no way a proper fight could ur when most teams started off by killing each other. The teams that worked together ended up taking the win in the long run. Of course, there were still people trying to get the betrayer achievement at the end. The 6th trial brought upon a lot of things to ponder over. Mistrust of others, the reality of low-ranked challengers, the aura of despair throughout the tower But even after seeing all that, my thoughts didnt change. No, seeing all of this strengthened my preexisting beliefs. Lets not pretend to be innocent. Ill take everything I can get. But I wouldnt kill people for no reason. If thats what the tower required from me to climb to higher floors? Time over. You have captured the northern tile. I guess I have no choice then. Even if it forced me tomit the horrific acts that Id seen just now Id do anything as long as my humanity remained intact. Onlymitting murder when necessary was my answer to all of this. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 6. As a reward, you have received Random Box (B). As a reward, you have received 8,000 points. Please move to the waiting area. My head finally cleared up. A refreshing feeling of all my concerns disappearing. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Lee Songjoon. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Kim Jinhyuk. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Song Jinook. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Han Sukjoon. Another message popped up after absorbing all of the nearby souls. Proficiency increased by 12% Innate ability Necromancys proficiency reached 100%. Innate ability Necromancys ranked up. My innate ability ranked up. I had kind of expected this, so I wasnt too surprised about it. I moved the message to the side and made my way to the portal on the northern tile. Moving to the waiting room. Time to go back to my trusty waiting room. *** You have entered the 7th floor waiting room. As empty as always. Well, it wasnt that important, but as I was about to step away The system expansion is starting. The following message startled me wide awake. Wasnt the expansion scheduled for the 8th floor? The unexpected message surprised me, but the system continued to notify me. List Achievements has been created. Ah. I thought something important was going to happen, but it was just the achievements. Only a notification that I could now look at the achievements in more detail. There werent any follow-up messages saying that anything changed. This shouldnt even count as an expansion. List achievements. Achievement List S Grade C The First Returnee A Grade C None B Grade C None C Grade C One Punch Man D Grade C Cold-Blooded Climber E Grade C Endurer of Fire, Merciless Murderer, Goblin Hunter, Betrayer F Grade C None Not as many as I thought. Three of the six achievements are from the 6th trial. Which meant I hadnt gotten that much before that. I guess you do get a lot from murdering others. But the most important part was the S-grade achievement. Just as I thought, it wasnt a normal achievement. I had assumed that it was rare from the fact that it gave me an A-ss skill but wow. I couldnt believe I got something so good for just returning a little earlier than everyone else. A little sense of pride arose while looking through these achievements. I selected the One Punch Man achievement and looked at the details. One Punch Man Grade: C An achievement for killing a challenger in one hit. Achievement generates Contempt for the Weak (F) skill. Ooh I was just guessing how I got these before but They seemed much less mysterious now that they exined everything. Endurer of Fire Grade: E An achievement for staying conscious in a painful fire. Achievement generates Heat Resistance (F) skill. Cold-Blooded Climber Grade: D An achievement for killing at least five challengers. Achievement rewards 1,500 points. Merciless Murderer Grade: E An achievement for continuously killing challengers with no hesitation. Achievement rewards 1 agility point. Betrayer Grade: E An achievement for killing a challenger designated to be your teammate. Achievement rewards 1 strength point. I opened all the achievements that I was curious about. Hm, is that it? I looked at a couple of other achievements, but there wasnt anything special. There wasnt anything more to the listing. I guess all it does is show you more information about the achievements. Slightly disappointed, I opened my inventory to check the trial. But Random Box Grade: B A box decorated with a red ribbon that generates a random item. Upon opening, you receive an item from F to B-grade. A random box, huh. The 4th trial increased my stats by a bit, but this reward was just a lottery. I had zero expectations after reading the description. If its F to B, Ill basically get nothing from it. There was nothing I could do about anything luck-rted. I could probably get a good price for this on Earth but If a bunch of low-grade items inted the market, that would be difficult too. Maybe I didnt get much because I used minimal effort in this trial. Eh, I guess it makes sense that the tower didnt give me any bonus rewards. Id have to go higher to get anything of value. Whatever, Ill just use it and then absorb the souls. I pulled at the ribbon from the box. Slip. I still had some hope, but that just made me prone to disappointment. After pulling off the lid from the box sh! Streams of bright white light poured out from the box and a message popped up. Huh? Congrattions! You received the highest possible grade item from the box! I just won a B-grade item. PR Note: Mid-chapter credits werent included in previous chapters. New chapters will now contain mid-chapter credits, with no other changes to the material. Thanks! Chapter 36: 7th Floor (1) Chapter 36: 7th Floor (1) Was this rigged? How did I get the highest possible grade item I thought that my luck had been better since I entered the tower, but I didnt think it would work with the gacha as well. Hm, maybe Im just a really lucky person. I might not have realized it because of all the things that happened in my life. There was no other exnation for this event. Anyway, this is an unexpected delight. I didnt know what the item was, but if it was B-grade, it was bound to be good. These items werent ranked just for show. Wrought Iron Pendant Grade: B An iron pendant that has the spirit of a skilled cksmith. Metal and de-rted skills are +7% more effective. Upon inserting mana, activate Steels Blessing. Mana must be supplied continuously, but it has no cooldown. Even the description had an air of poise to it What was more amazing was the description under it. That all skills pertaining or rted to metals and des will be increased by 7%. Since it doesnt specify cutting force, attack speed, or anything else! It would effectively add an extra 7% to all those effects. Damn, this is why its a B-grade item. These effects are so good. Its probably one of the best B-ranked items at that. One thing I didnt understand was the Steels Blessing effect. Considering that the soul of a cksmith was in it, it probably wasnt a normal effect. Especially because most item effects didnt get a name after them. At most, there were generally just small descriptions of the effect that it had. But If it did have a named effect, then it tended to be more special than just normal effects. Although Id never really seen one in real life so I thought it was just an urban legend. This item is bound to have some ws, but goddamn. It could have a better effect than most A-grade items. My expectations started getting higher and higher. I was pretty sure I hit the jackpot on this one. I wasnt even expecting anything I cant believe it. I wanted tough as loud as I could, but I decided topose myself. Its important to stay calm to matter what the circumstances are. Whoo, lets calm down. I put the pendant over my head and onto my neck. Sat. The chain trickled down as the jewel on the pendant came down to my heart. Despite it being a silver jewel, it was light and clear so I liked the aesthetics of it as well. Like an item handcrafted for me. And the effect of Steels Blessing was Activating Wrought Iron Pendants (B) effect Steels Blessing. Your skin adapts a property that absorbs all physical damage by 10% A higher-tier skill of my physical resistance. Holy It was technically more advanced than my physical resistance skill. If that skill allowed me to resist a percentage of physical damage Steels Blessingpletely nullifies a percentage of physical damage. I personally didnt think much about the physical resistance skill. Because I didnt have a body like the doppelganger to take advantage of the skill. Even if I was able to resist attacks, it would be useless if my body couldnt brush the rest of the attacks off. Of course, it would shield me from some of the impacts but I didnt put that much emphasis on it. But this was different. Being able to absorb physical damage by 10% was way overpowered. My skin can now absorb physical damage. I wondered if there was a better resistance skill than this. The +7% to all the metal and de skills might not be that greatpared to A and S grade items but This effect alone might make it better than that. Even if I eventually grew out of this effect, I could just sell it. This was bound to go for millions. Just the thought of it put a smile on my face. I didnt even get a bonus reward, but where theres a will, theres a way. Of course, this wasnt all fun and games. Mana has been exhausted. Deactivating Wrought Iron Pendants (B) effect Steels Blessing. This thing sucks up mana like crazy. In a blink of an eye, enough mana to use instant eleration twice in a row had disappeared. Well, I guess it wouldnt matter once I got more mana, but a drawback was a drawback. Ill have to turn it off and on only when I need it. But if I couldnt get the activation timing correctly, it could backfire on me. Ill have to get some mana efficiency skillster. Why were there so many skills I needed to get Sigh, it would be so much better if I could learn skills a little more easily. Apparently, I couldnt get extra skills no matter how many times I repeated the necessary acquiring actions. It hurt my head to think about all the things Id need to get somehow. This was the reality of my talents, huh. Nothing I can do about it now. Ill just have to wait till I get on the 8th floor. They did say that I could buy skills after the expansion. And maybe Id get the skills I needed from just climbing the tower. *** *** Now, lets check all those other things. First, lets check on the newly upgraded necromancy. Innate ability C Necromancy (D) Proficiency C 0% Basic effect C Able to absorb the souls of the dead to increase or reinforce stats, mana, or something of a simr nature. Extra effect(1) C Able to permanently increase stats depending on the nature and rank of the soul. Extra effect(2) C Able to store souls forter use. Soul storage capacity depends on the abilitys rank. Extra effect(3) C Able to acquire one skill bound to a soul at a certain percentage upon absorbing that soul. Extra effect(4) C Able to protect your body by consuming souls. The impact that can be absorbed is proportional to the souls used. There was a new extra effect, but the description of the basic effect had also changed. Increase or reinforce stats, mana, or something of a simr nature. It didnt just say that the souls would strengthen me or that I would be able to turn them into something that Id like. If I wanted more mana, Id be able to get more mana. And if not, Id be able to increase my stats. Plus I got a defensive skill. An ability to protect myself by consuming some of the souls I had stored. I was hoping that it would be something to help me steal more skills but I guess not. It wasnt bad, but I was a little bitter that my predictions were off. Mostly because I had to solely rely on my innate ability for growth due to ack of my own talents. I guess I cant just rely on the innate ability to help me. I had to find other ways to get stronger. And the key to that wasnt with me, but with the tower. Whatever the pioneer or the brilliance was, if I could get all the benefits and get the skills I needed Then I wouldnt have to solely rely on my innate ability. Ill be there soon. Lets not rush. As long as I survived the 7th trial, everything would be fine. So I just had to focus on the uing trial for now. And its not like I didnt need a way to protect myself. It would be dangerous to face an intruder like I did on the 5th trial. The problem was how I could activate the ability but I dont really know how. Typically, I should naturally know how to use it but that wasnt the case this time. Then. Maybe this counts as a passive ability. I did hear about those kinds of innate abilities. One of the extra effects would be a passive that enhanced the already existing abilities. If my 4th effect was anything like that then The protection should be working already. I guess Ill find out. I turned the autohealing off and put my sword right up to my skin. Just in case the autohealing interfered with me testing this skill out. My tenacity was high enough to resist the de but Crrrrrk! It wasnt so hard that I couldnt cut myself. The thunder de was a C-grade item with a high enough cutting force, so it only made sense. I had to be careful because of all my extra buffs, but that wasnt going to stop me. The extra cutting force, the triplecerate skill, or the electrocution effect might be dangerous but The electrocution effect was only on hit and shouldnt activate while the de was already on my body And the cutting force was a passive skill, but I could control to what point I wanted to push down And I just didnt have to activate theceration skill. So I put a little bit more pressure on my arm but A soul has absorbed an attack on the user. Soul of yer Song Jinook has been consumed. Number of souls in possession C 3/30 The de that should have sliced through my flesh was blocked by a ck fog of some kind. Where there should have been blood was not even a scar. Ooh I wasted one of the souls I got from the 6th floor, but it didnt matter that much. I was more surprised by necromancys ability to protect. Its better than I thought? With this, I think I would be okay even if that ck knight came at me again. It depended on what the next trial would be, but it looked like it could be very useful. I probably shouldnt absorb all my souls then. There should always be some souls just in case. Especially these low-level souls from low-level yers. Skill C Contempt for the Weak (F) Proficiency C 2% Effect C If all of the opponents stats fail to exceed yours, your strength increases proportionally to the difference. This was an achievement skill I got from the 6th trial. I knew how it worked, so I was able to skim over it. Low-rank, but not bad. Itd be helpful if I ever had to go against some small fries again. Even more so if I could get the grade up a little higher. I guess thats it. Now the only thing left to do was check how long I had to wait until I could start the next trial. Then check out whats going on in themunity. That should have been it but What the hell is this? An unexpected turn of events. Do you ept the 7th floor trial? It seemed that there was no more waiting for a trial to start. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! The 4th effect is kinda disappointing but seems pretty op Also the soul seems like such a waste cuz he could have gotten a skill from it??? Cmon mc Chapter 37: 7th Floor (2) Chapter 37: 7th Floor (2) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] They didnt say anything about this on the expansion. I stared carefully at the hovering message. Generally, these trials made you wait for at least a day after passing the previous one. There might be a serious problem if that rule changed without the system giving us any heads up. The wait time disappeared without any messages from the system It was a little strange, but I was able to shake off the shock. Anyway, I could understand the wait time disappearing. It doesnt really change anything that I would have done, and it could actually help me. There might be more benefits if I get through the trials more quickly. Rushing into these would have been detrimental to me in the past, but not anymore. I was already used to fighting at my current strength. And I seemed to be pretty strongpared to my peers, as seen in the 6th trial. This is better than an otherworldly challenger invading my trial. Actually, it could be seen as a positive change. I cant be surprised every time something changes. It wasnt like anything in this world was normal. Change was something that coulde at any moment. I wondered if everyone else has been experiencing the same changes. I was going to check up on themunity anyway. You have entered themunity. Difficulty C Hard Floor 7 Community (1671/2321) It didnt take long to find someone talking about the wait times. I was wondering how people were going to react, but they didnt make it a big deal. I guess no one really cared as much as I did. Maybe its because theyre low rankers. I didnt think there was anyone normal here. Well, I guess it didnt matter if no one else cared. No one cared about being a pioneer, and most of them just wanted to go back home after the 8th trial. But The vibes are a little different from the 6th floor. That was a little concerning. Everyone was so bloodthirsty on the 6th floor, but the 7th floor waiting area was different. Things are definitely different. There were a lot more conversations going on, and the atmosphere was much lighter. Specifically, the people who have been weighing it down were staying quiet now. I guess the tension is lower now that everyone passed the 6th trial. Because after the 7th trial, we would be in the 8th floor waiting room. And we should be able to go back home after reaching that Everyone was probably relieved to see that the 7th trial wasnt a group one. Because now they know for sure that they wont have to kill any more people. On the other hand, the ones who have been encouraging murder were all quiet. Why? Because they also noticed that the 7th trial was individual. There wasnt any way to get extra points, and they would just be cursed out by everyone else. And the people who bought skills from them were probably not doing that well either. However, this peace wouldntst forever. If we had to keep climbing the tower and there happened to be another group trial, the same thing would happen again. I couldnt let them fool me. At the end of the day, everyone here was mypetition. Trial Evaluations. 6th Trial Evaluations *** *** Hey, Im in the top 10 again. Though 4th ce was a little lower thanst time, it wasnt too bad. And all I need to do to get pioneer status is to be in the top 50. I tapped into my details again, but there wasnt anything special. Almost the 8th floor It was about time Id learned what this pioneer thing was. It would probably bring about a lot of changes. Just one more floor. No need to rush. As long as I could stay calm, I should be able to deal with anything unanticipated like that intruder. And I even unlocked a new effect with necromancy, so it shouldnt be that hard. As long as I didnt let my guard down As for items, I dont think I need anything new. My current set should serve me fine for now. The thunder de and the covert shield should be enough for the 7th trial. I guess Ill get some potions just in case. You have bought a Potion of Life (D-). 1,500 points deducted. You have bought a Poison Eater (E+). 1,200 points deducted. For healing and poison, respectively. I knew I already had elerated regeneration, but just in case. Well, no use in staying here any longer. Do you ept the 7th floor trial? After agreeing to the message, I stepped into the newly-formed portal. Voom! Entering Tower of Trials Floor 7. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is proof. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. Something was off. The 7th floor trial is starting soon. Remaining time C 40 minutes Trial sess condition C Clear the three trials in the remaining time. Trial fail condition C Challengers death or time out Trial sess reward C Skill Winds Grace (A-) Trial fail penalty C Death This was different from all the other trials that Ive faced. I didnt hear any monsters nearby, and the clear condition didnt seem that clear either. Clearing three trials? I dont really understand what thats supposed to mean. There werent supposed to be more trials within this trial, so how could there be three? What was I supposed to do if an intruder came in? Its not like I canpete with them for the trial objective, since I have no idea what it is. First of all, my surroundings were just a normal hallway made of stone. I didnt see or feel anything at the end of the hallway though. It doesnt feel especially dangerous or anything. But I didnt have that much time to begin with, so At that moment, a message popped up. Entering the first trial area. Prove that you have ovee your fear. I was about to react to the message as I was walking through the hallway, but my surroundings started to shift. Shaaaaaa! This is Somewhere that I definitely remembered. The sand and the cactusesit was a scenery that Ive definitely seen before. The tutorial trial? Yeah, this was definitely the first trial I faced when I came to the tower. The only question is why Is this a hallucination? It could be, since they were talking about oveing fear and whatnot. Maybe it was making me face a traumatic memory. But that theory soon fell apart like the sand I gripped in my hands. It doesnt feel like a hallucination. At the very least, this environment felt real. Oveing fear, and the changing surroundings Maybe Is it going to recreate my tutorial trial? That didnt seem out of the question. The tower did just recreate everything else. And then Kkkrrrooon! The floor suddenly started to quake, and all the sand started to gather itself. Also something that Ive seen before. As I thought, I guess theyre going to recreate the golem too. Hm, but the E-rank monsters wouldnt pose much of a threat to me now. Honestly, I could beat these guys blindfolded at this point. Ive been going through a rapid growth period during the trials. Why were they even giving me a whole 40 minutes for this? Is it a freebie before I get to the 8th floor? Contrary to my thoughts, I gripped my sword and stared down at the lump of sand that was starting to pile up. Well, I guess there were still two more trials left Kraaaaaaaang! Then the sand erupted into a desert storm, and my ears began to ring. At the same time, it started to form into a humanoid being as it grew slowly but steadily. Huh? Sand golems were supposed to be E-rank monsters that even orcs could kill What the- Even at a nce, it was way taller than the original height of six meters. Ten metersnoit was so tall that I could barely even look at it. An oppressive aura enveloped me. If the original sand golem was an E-rank monster The monstrosity that stood in front of me was at least a B. Grrrrr! When its glowing red eyes met mine, I could instantly tell. Killing three of these in 40 minutes is Fuck. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! My least favorite thing is having toe up with trantions for these goddamn nicknames These low rankers better die soon so I dont have to look their names upter BTW sorry for the slow updates before i had covid but im better now Chapter 38: 7th Floor (3) Chapter 38: 7th Floor (3) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] Like in the tutorial, the golem attacked with its fist first. But the power behind it wasnt anything like what I remembered. Krraaaaaang-! The fist smashed the sand, causing a mini earthquake within a small radius. And the sandy winds sted off like a storm in an empty field. I didnt take much damage because I had already taken a step back, but Damn, how am I supposed to deal with a monster like this? I couldnt help but scowl. In such a short amount of time, I couldnt have gotten strong enough to fight against this monster. Our weight sses werepletely different. Making a single mistake could lead to my death, and not making one would just barely increase my chances of staying alive. That intruder was a piece of cakepared to what was going on here. I dont fare well against these types. Humongous monsters like these are supposed to be dealt with using skills. But I didnt have anything of that sort. I needed something that could get through its tough outeryer, but my fighting style relied on mobility. Crash! Kraang! Crack! Krrrr! I ran out of the way of its fist before it could crush me. Its range was as big as it looked. I have to find a way to do something! Kraaaaaang! The monster continued its barrage, interrupting my thoughts. I would get blown away even if a single one of these attacks grazed me. I had to stay hyperaware. I didnt know what elerated regeneration considered critical damage, but I wouldnt just end up with a cut on my arm if I took a hit from that fist. I would need to prepare to lose a limb or two. elerated regeneration might not activate then. What was even more discouraging was that I had two more trials left. I didnt know how much time had passed since this trial started. But Id have toplete this trial in the next ten minutes and figure out what the next trial is. Wait, theres still one more thing I can do. I guess there was one thing. A skill to split this golem in half. Skill C Triple Laceration (A-) Proficiency C 0% Basic effect C Using mana, strengthen a de for three attacks. Detailed effect C Upon using the skill, the cutting force of ded attacks increases by 1.5/2.0/2.5 times after each attack. I didnt know if the increased cutting force would be enough, but this was not the time to think about that. Tripleceration. All of my mana flooded into my hands as I muttered those words. And at that moment, an azure aura zed out of the sword. Activating the skill Triple Laceration. Your next three attacks are strengthened. Voooosh. It didnt look very intimidating, but this skill was an A- skill. Whether its a skill or an item, these things are ranked the way they are for a reason. And the effect would be fortified by an additional 7% because of the pendant. Cutting through this sand golem wasntpletely impossible. No other choice. The tower didnt favor the challengers. If you wanted to survive and get stronger, you had to work for it. Even if it meant gambling your life. Tat! Grrrrrrrr! I propelled myself as fast as I could toward the growling entity. I didnt want to use instant eleration just yet. Mana isnt an unlimited resource that grows on trees. The tripleceration skill had already consumed most of my mana. Combining that with the eleration skill would I wont stand a chance in the next two trials. This was also to hide my full strength from any enemies that could have been observing me. Having all of your cards countered by the enemy is one of the worst-case scenarios. Of course, my agility was high enough to keep up with the sand golems attacks without any skills. Crash! Kraang! Kooorang! Kang! The golem noticed that something had changed and kept up its barrage Yeah, keep attacking. Show me an opening. But I didnt stand down. Instead, I took this time to zigzag through the attacks to get closer to the main body. Fwoooosh-! The giant fist rushed past my face, a gust of wind grazing against my cheek. But for some reason, I wasnt scared. It was a million times harder than the tutorial trial, but I was never calmer. Right as I faced the sand pir that was its leg, I swung my sword. Sliiiiit! The sword slid right through its leg and sliced it off cleanly. As I did the same to its other leg, the golem stumbled and fell to the ground. Kroooooong. Of course, that wasnt the end. Gr-graaaa! Although the entity didnt seem to feel pain, it realized that I had the upper hand now. The flustered giant tried to push itself up with its arms, but I wasnt going to let that happen. aaash-! All three attacksplete. Deactivating the skill Triple Laceration. I shifted my eyes as soon as I cut off its left arm. The skill was deactivated, but the sand golem couldnt do anything to resist now. This should be enough to destroy the core. This monster wouldnt die just because its body was in pieces. No matter the environment, it would survive as long as its core stayed intact. I scanned him quickly to find where the core might be. His core should be A red stone on its back caught my eye. I climbed onto its back and shoved my sword down into the red jewel. Crack! You have proved that youve ovee your fear. Ending the first trial. In an instant, my surroundings reverted back to the dark hallway. Huff, huff. Too bad I didnt get the chance to absorb the sand golems soul. But this was neither the time nor ce for that. I dont have enough time left. I have to finish the other two trials before time runs out. I caught my breath and ran through the endless hallway to get to the second area of the 7th trial. Dash! *** *** Reaching the next area didnt take very long. Entering the second trial area. Prove that you have ovee your wisdom. The scenery started to change rapidly again. I was wondering if it would replicate a previous trial again, and I was right, damn it. In an instant, I was standing in the forest from the 2nd-floor trial. The only difference was that the first trial was replicated from the beginning of the 1st-floor trial. But this time Crackle, crackle! The nearby trees were immediately engulfed by mes. This was the scene from when Ipleted the 2nd-floor trial. Prove that Ive ovee my wisdom? A trial that I wouldnt have been able to clear if the orc hunters hadnt left their base. How was I supposed to ovee the droplet of wisdom I squeezed out from that? What is this bullshit? I wanted toin, but I couldnt. Fuck, Im gonna go crazy. I tend to refrain from cursing too much, but I couldnt help it anymore. Shieeeek! My face twitched as I heard the bone-chilling shriek that echoed through the forest. I knew who it belonged to. The orc hunters This was why I avoided direct confrontation with them initially. Theyre the strongest E-rank monsters. How was I supposed to face not one, but ten of them? This might be more tricky than facing the golem. A cooperating squad of orc hunters could be more dangerous than one B-rank monster. I hoped that I wouldnt have to face a hoard of them, but the tower didnt show mercy. Shieeeeek! An overly-buff orc came out of the forest with blood-red eyes. Just my luck, he went berserk. A phenomenon that urs in monsters that go into a blind rage. Ive heard that orcs that go berserk can rival even D-rank monsters. However, they use up all their strength and can die just days after that. If a group of them teamed up against me It couldnt get any worse. I knew how this would end. Ovee wisdom my ass As a hunter, it infuriated me that they forced my sneak attack into a direct confrontation. The owners of the shrieks didnt hesitate to walk over. And more bloodshot-eyed orcs continued to appear behind it. The only thing I could do wasugh at the orcs as they surrounded me. Ha, hahaha. So they expected me to finish these trials in 40 minutes My heart wanted to explode, but my mind was calm. Fwoo, okay. What choice do I have? No matter how much Iined, my reality would not change. My only choice was to clear this as fast as possible. Activating the skill Instant eleration. Activating the skill Triple Laceration. I looked at my empty mana and smiled dryly. Its you or me. *** You have absorbed the souls of the orc hunters. Number of souls in possession C 19/30 Proficiency increased by 6% As I absorbed the souls of all the nearby orcs, the burning forest quickly reverted back to the hallway. Skill Hunters Daggermanship (E+)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill Hunters Daggermanship (E+)s ranked up. Skill Instant eleration (D)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill Instant eleration (D)s ranked up. At the same time. You have proved that youve ovee your wisdom. Ending the second trial. Ugh, aghhhh. It felt like a copper anvil was crushing my lungs as I gagged on the air. I knew that wanting to climb the tower wasnt normal. However, I couldnt help but curse the harshness of the trials. If I were just a tad weaker, I wouldnt be able to guarantee that I would be standing here now. Fuck The only good thing about the fight was that I didnt take a single hit from those orc hunters. I couldnt test out the new necromancy effect though. It was because I blocked all iing attacks with my shield or the leftover orc corpses. I cant reveal all my cards before the end of the trial. Besides that, both my mana and stamina were at rock bottom. Theres no way I can pass another trial in this state. elerated regeneration uses my stamina to heal my body. It actually drains my stamina instead of replenishing it. Good thing I prepared for this. Potion of Life Grade: D- A potion created from special water with concentrated life essence. Upon consumption, the potion restores 20% of stamina and mana. Without hesitation, I pulled off the cap and poured the potion down my throat. Glup, glup. Pheww I finally felt some strength in my body again. I also had enough mana to use my skills once or twice now. To confirm that Ive recovered to a point, I opened my status window. Status window Skill C Instant eleration (D+) Proficiency C 3.7% Effect C Upon dering the skill name, one can use mana to temporarily elerate their body. Skill C Hunters Daggermanship (D) Proficiency C None Exnation C A technique made by hunters for effective hunting. Effect C When using a dagger, the weapons cutting force is increased by 2.5 times. It doesnt look like any of the effects have changed. Nothing special. I guess it was interesting that the hunters daggermanship skill had reached its growth limit Nothing unexpected though. Fwoo I closed the window and forced myself to move again. There wasnt enough time to get any more rest. Tap, tap I did my best imitation of running as I tried to predict what thest trial would be. 1st, 2nd, so is it time for the 3rd-floor trial now? The doppelganger was bound to return much stronger than before. Seems kind of bullshit, but I cantin. But Entering the third trial area. Prove that you have ovee your hesitation. ? I was proven wrong in an instant. Shaa, shaa. The crashing waves and the floating tiles The 6th trial? This was reminiscent of the previous floors trial. The only difference was that all of the tiles were organized into a neat line. Seeing four gigantic tiles lined up gave off a strange ambience. Am I not fighting in this trial? No matter where I looked, there didnt seem to be anything special. And the line of tiles went on into the horizon without an end in sight. It was then. ? Ssh, ssh! I heard something sinking behind me, and the sound got closer and closer. I turned around. Ah? The tiles started to sink into the water one by one And the end of the line was approaching me at a rapid rate. I remembered that my stats would be reduced if I touched the water. And I realized exactly what the trial was. It was the start of a crazy race that would be over with a single dip in the water. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! The orcs were so hard that mc took 0 hits and killed them all Chapter 39: 7th Floor (4) Chapter 39: 7th Floor (4) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] Tap! I started running as soon as I noticed what was going on. If I wasnt mistaken, this race was a variation of the 6th trial. This environment surrounded by stat-reducing water is threatening as it is. If these tiles sank into the water, I wouldnt be able to avoid falling in. And all my stats, including agility, would decrease. Then I would inevitably fall further behind and die. Damn it, there are already three subtrials. As if that werent enough, the difficulty was also amped up. The continuous barrage of trials was mentally and physically exhausting. But There was always a way to pass. Using the Assassins Cloaks (D) active ability. Movement speed +15% Activation time left C 00:00:59 Kraaaang! In an instant, strength enveloped my legs as I strode forward. With this much distance between me and the end of the line, I shouldnt be in dan- It was then. aaaash! The waves split into numerous streams that shot toward me like daggers. What the f-! Normally, I wouldve bent my knees slightly to dodge, but I couldnt afford to do that now. At my current speed, doing something like that could impede my steps. Ultimately, there was only one way to dodge these streams. Ugh! I threw myself toward the tile in front without losing my momentum. Crash! A devastating crash echoed behind me. I could tell how destructive the streams were just by hearing that sound. If I had gotten hit, my head would have burst like a watermelon Chills crawled down my neck, and I became hyperaware of my surroundings. Afterpleting six trials, I could already tell what was going to happen. I would die instantly if I lost focus for even a single second. Tap tap tap. Gasp. I rushed to pick myself back up with my hands. I was still ahead of the falling tiles. There was still room to recover from my mistake. I cant hesitate any longer. I gotta get- Ssh. ? I felt a cool and refreshing sensation on my hands, and I looked down. The tile I was on was slowly sinking into the ocean. Activating the skill Eye of Truth. I activated the Eye of Truth, hoping that what I thought was happening wasnt real. Trial Water Grade: A Water that has been imbued with a stat-reducing penalty by the tower. Stats will only be reduced upon direct contact. This water cannot be taken outside of the 6th trial. It was exactly what I was afraid of. You have made contact with the Trial Water. Strength temporarily reduced by 10. Agility temporarily reduced by 10. Stamina temporarily reduced by 10. Penalty time left C 2min 59sec The three stats rted to physical ability were reduced instantly. Why?! I was about to flip out in a fit of blind rage. I literally dodged the streams andnded safely. But I fell for this dumbass trap that reduced my stats. How the fuck am I supposed to pass this? I wanted to cry out in frustration, but I couldnt afford to waste any time. Activation time left C 00:00:29 The assassins cloak effect was also about to end. I took my hand out of the water and started to run again, but I was slower than before. That was to be expected. I obviously wouldnt be able to elerate to the same speed after losing 30 stat points. I was going to depend on the cloaks effect to clear the trial, but the falling tiles were quickly catching up to me. Do I have to use this? I was saving my instant eleration skill for emergencies. The wrought iron pendant I had just gotten also proved to be pretty useless. There was only one way to pick up my pace. The only problem was that I didnt even have 10% of my mana left, and I didnt know how much longer the path was. If I didnt reach the end even after exhausting all of my resources, there would be nothing left to do but die. I didnt have much of a choice. If I didnt use the skill, I would get caught by the water traps. I had to at least struggle before I died. Squeezing out every ounce of mana from my body, I muttered quietly. Instant eleration. I was activating the skill for the first time after it ranked up to D+. Activating the skill Instant eleration. Fwoom! My legs felt lighter, and I could tell that I sped up immediately. Just because my stats had decreased doesnt mean that my skills would be less effective. Of course, maintaining this speed while dodging traps would be difficult TAP TAP TAP TAP! But there was no need to jump through hoops to dodge the traps anymore. Because by the time the traps activated, I was already gone. I think they activate after I reach a certain checkpoint But it didnt matter if I cleared the section before the traps even activated. Tap, tap, tap! Its alright, I can do this! I only had about 7% of my mana left, but clearing the trial was still possible. If I kept this up, I should be able to oust the stat penalties. And as soon as the penalty time ran out, I could activate necromancy. Basic effect C Able to absorb the souls of the dead to increase or reinforce stats, mana, or something of that nature. The newly-upgraded necromancy effect could increase my mana. I absorbed a bunch of souls from the second trial, so I should be able to recover a considerable amount of mana. This trial was as good as cleared once that happened. Deactivating the Assassins Cloaks (D) effect. The effect ended, and I felt heavier again. But this meant that the penalty was much closer to ending as well. Penalty time left C 1min 57sec However, the penalty didnt seem to be reduced even after I squeezed all my mana into eleration. If this continued, I would end up failing the trial. Then Replenishing mana using the soul of the orc hunter. I needed to give myself more time by replenishing my mana. *** *** At this rate, the penalty should It was then. Craaaaaash-! Unlike the other traps that were activated after I ran past them, the tile I was currently on shook and sprang up. What the I was briefly in the air, and I was shocked by the spectacle before my eyes. Tiles were being raised above sea level by streams of water spouting from the ocean. Not only that, but the heights of all those tiles were constantly shifting. Each tile was somehow staying perfectly bnced on a thin stream of water. Like this was all designed by someone Tap. I could onlyugh afternding back on the original tile. Ha I was tired of reacting to every little thing. Ssh, ssh! All the tiles behind me were sinking into the ocean, and all of those in front started floating. I was stuck between a rock and a hard ce, and the penalty still wasnt over. Ive been through a bunch of trials since I entered the tower, but this was definitely the most hardcore one. TAP! All I could do was move forward. If I analyzed the tile height patterns, getting through shouldnt be too much of a problem. But I dont have the time for that! The tiles behind me were sinking faster and faster. And I only had 40 minutes left to clear the trial. Act first, thinkter. Crash-! Ugh. I winced at the impact from dropping down to the next tile. It wasnt enough for the necromancy protection to activate, but it still hurt. I couldnt wallow in my pain. Shaaaaang! The tile started to rise as soon as Inded on it. I had been on a shaking tile before, but it wasnt as severe as this. The tile was unstable enough to shake me off. I was in a situation where I would fall into the ocean as soon as I lost control. I wontst too long on this tile! Leap! I propelled myself into the air again andnded on the next tile. I reduced the impact as much as possible by breaking the fall. It may not look like it, but I trained for years to be a hunter. Koong! My knees still absorbed most of the impact, but that didnt matter. I had elerated regeneration, and my body wasnt so weak that it would break from this kind of damage. Tung, tung, tung! I predicted the heights instinctively and continued to jump. Of course, the barrage of traps and streams of water didnt stop Wssh. But I guess I was finally getting used to this crazy ass trial. Shooosh-! After one final jump, I finally got a glimpse of what I was looking for. Voom! There was a whirring portal above a red tile just beyond the rest of the tiles. I instinctively knew that this was the exit, but I couldnt get there immediately. Unlike all the other tiles, there werent any tiles leading up to this one. This meant that I had to jump to the portal from my current location. Zero hesitation. I sighed as I saw the sinking tiles behind me. Those bastards didnt even want to give me time to think. Yeah, this isnt something I could consider doing or not. I took a couple of steps back to get a running start. Taaaang! I used all the mana left in my body for this jump, so the issue wasnt my speed but whether I couldnd exactly into the portal on the tile. And even if I didnd in the portal, I wasnt sure if my body would stay intact. I just have to trust my innate ability! If my body couldnt handle the damage, the necromancy protection would. Of course, I still wanted to have a backup n. Activating Wrought Iron Pendants (B) effect Steels Blessing. Your skin develops a property that absorbs all physical damage by 10% Craaaaaash-! You have proved that youve ovee your hesitation. Ending the third trial. The message popped up and ck fog spurted out from my body. Shaaaaaa-! A soul has absorbed an attack on the user. Soul of orc hunter has been consumed. Soul of orc hunter has been consumed. Soul of orc hunter has been consumed. Number of souls in possession C 12/30 Huff, huff. I knew something like this would happen. I was back to the dimly-lit hallway, but the impact from the fall came with me. Even if they passed the trial, a normal person would have died from the fall. Fuck this trial More importantly, I had beaten the trial. I copsed. Deactivating Wrought Iron Pendants (B) effect Steels Blessing. The reality that I survived the trial hit me as I sat on the floor gasping for air. I would have died if my necromancy didnt rank up. And if I didnt use my growth-type ability to be an all-rounder, I definitely would have died here. This was not the time to reminisce. I forced myself to get up and continued down the hallway. This trial still had a 40-minute limit, and I hadnt cleared it just yet. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 7. As a reward, you have received the skill Winds Grace (A-). As a reward, you have received 15,000 points. As a bonus reward, you have received the item Boots of Swiftness (C+). Please move to the waiting area. A portal appeared in front of my eyes after the session of messages. Voom! Im finally done with this damn trial Unexpectedly, I almost died from the trial, and there were no surprises like an intruder. But I was still alive, and it was time to end this trial. Moving to the waiting room. A message that I have never seen before appeared in front of my eyes. More than 1000 people have cleared the 7th trial. The system expansion is starting. You are one of the challengers designated as a pioneer. You are now able to choose a radiance. The expansion has finally begun. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Bin: What are the chances he just goes home and the story ends with him as a sessful hunter? Phylicia: 0 because its only chapter 39. And why does he call everything a trap? Its as if hes into them. Chapter 40: Radiance (1) Chapter 40: Radiance (1) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] More than 1000 people have cleared the 7th trial. The system expansion is starting. Skill Marketce is opening. Trial Crossroads are being formed. Permanent return is now avable. Intrusion system is being activated. A bunch of messages started to pop up, but the most important one was at the bottom. You have been designated as a pioneer for the previous floors. You may choose a radiance. Radiance. The perk of being a pioneer finally revealed itself. Radiance affects the challengers innate ability and skills. Please think carefully before making a decision. Think carefully The tower hasnt given advice like this before. This meant that choosing a radiance was important, even to the tower. Please choose one of these avable options. Conqueror Hunter Monk Are these radiances? Hm, I guess Ill look at the details first. Even if I wanted to make a choice, I didnt know anything about these. Conqueror A radiance that changes depending on the individuals abilities. Helps the individual be an all-rounder rather than a specialist and is closely rted to their innate ability. Potential for battle, growth, support, and creation increases greatly. Innate power is Skill Combination. This is the most fitting radiance for challenger Han Sungyeun. Hm I wasnt able to tell exactly what it could do just by reading the description, but I could tell it was a good one. My potential for everything would increase, and it would affect my ability This means that itll be helpful to my future growth. It sounded like a perfect fit. The innate power also seemed interesting. Even the tower determined that this would be the best radiance for me. But I couldnt make a decision just yet. Hunter A radiance that anyone could easily get used to. Specializes in growth and does not have a significant effect on an innate ability. However, this radiance is closely rted to stat and skill growth. It increases the growth rate of skill proficiencies. Innate power is Level Up. This is an adequate radiance for challenger Han Sungyeun. This one isnt bad either. The tower seemed to agree with me. Even if it wouldnt affect my innate ability, the stat increase would be verypatible. And I had a good idea of what the Level Up power would do. If this were a game, it would be like choosing your upation. Hunter would be an upation that allowed you to level yourself up. I assumed that leveling up would directly increase stats and skill proficiency. This radiances effect wasnt bad, but it would ovep with my innate ability. And thest one is Monk A radiance that is greatly affected by talent and hard work. Specializes in growth, but everything is strictly determined by talent and hard work. Bes stronger the more time you invest and requires a lot of talent. Could bepletely fruitless without the required talents. Innate power is Path of Training. Currently not rmended for challenger Han Sungyeun. Meh. Definitely not the one for me. The hard work part wasnt an issue, but it required talent Also, I didnt have any information about this innate power Ill pass on this and just choose between the other two. As the tower suggested, I should think very carefully before making a choice. The radiances seemed to affect innate abilities or skills They also have things called innate powers, and those seem pretty good. I think Ill have to choose Conqueror. I could rece Hunters abilities with necromancy, but Conqueror was a well-rounded radiance that would be beneficial in many ways. And the tower said that it would be the best fit considering my innate ability. Plus, Ive been looking for something like Skill Combination to spice up my abilities. No matter what, increased potential and the ability tobine skills should make this worth it. *** *** Tap. You have selected Conqueror. Innate ability is evolving ording to the selected radiance. Disying choices with regard to the challengers ability. Messages kept popping up even after I made my choice. Summoner C Use the absorbed souls to raise powerful undead skeletons. Magic Swordsman C Increases talent in magic and swordsmanship, and rted skills can be learned three times more quickly. Creator C Increases talent rted to item creation, and rted skills can be learned three times more quickly. They did say it would be closely rted to my innate ability As they promised, the radiance was evolving my innate ability. After reading all three descriptions, I came to a conclusion. They all seem kind of useless? Magic Swordsman wouldnt really help me since I didnt have much talent to begin with Same thing with Creator. It would have been a different story if it raised my talents by a set value rather than multiplying them. After all, zero times anything is zero. So I chose the least of the three evils: Summoner. The Summoner trait is being added to the innate ability Necromancy. Existing effects have been slightly altered, and new effects are being added. The innate power Skill Combination is being created. After the messages stopped, I opened my status window. Han Sungyeun Radiance C Conqueror ] Strength C 55 Stamina C 51 Agility C 56 Mana C 43 Tenacity C 43 Innate ability C Necromancy (D) Innate power C Skill Combination Skill C See details Some of my stats went up slightly. But more importantly, the radiance and innate power were added. Ooh Seeing them listed so clearly on my window was pretty satisfying. I looked into it a little more. Innate power C Skill Combination Effect C Can select two skills tobine. When the two selected skills are different in rank, the higher-ranking skill bes the core skill. It had the exact effect that I expected. I can just get rid of my useless skills. Or maybe I couldbine simr skills to upgrade them. It did say that the higher-ranking skill would be the core, so the innate power had unlimited potential. And my innate ability Consumes stored souls to raise a nearby dead. The strength of the raised dead will be proportional to the quality and quantity of the consumed souls. The newly-added effect seemed interesting. Now necromancy is finally living up to its name. All necromancers should have a summoning ability. I assumed something like this was bound to appear sometime soon. Considering the utility of the skill, this should be pretty good. So far, I had zero regrets about choosing this radiance. Too bad I couldnt test it out here. The effects are too vague. Like how long the raised dead wouldst or what actually counted as a nearby dead. There was a high chance that the skill would have unintended effects if I used it here. If I suddenly summoned a deteriorating corpse in the waiting area, its not like I could throw it out. And I wasnt nning to see if I could fit a corpse in the inventory. Ill try it out back in the real world or in another trial. It was about time that I went back again. But Skill Combination is different. I had no qualms about trying that out right now. Simr to what happened for my innate ability, a panel appeared in front of me as soon as I had the urge to use the skill. Activating the innate power Skill Combination. Listing the avable skills. Please select two skills from the list. Seeing all the various skills gave me a feeling of pride. It wasnt too long ago that I didnt have a single one. I guess Ive grown a lot. But I couldnt be too full of myself because quantity doesnt mean quality. Hm, what shall Ibine It was harder than I expected. Pain Resistance activated more often than I wouldve liked it to, and elerated Regeneration was an irreceable skill. I couldntbine skills randomly because I didnt know what the result would be. What do I not care about too much? I went through the list slowly and decided on two skills. I didnt use either of them during battle I couldnt use the former unless my opponent was weaker than me. And I couldnt use thetter unless I was in serious danger. It was never used because my fighting style revolved around my agility. I wouldnt miss them too much if they were gone. Acquiring a high-tier skill would be nice But I didnt expect much. Expectations only brought about disappointment. I thought I would be a hunter after I awakened as a yer. But that was when I hit rock bottom. I knew better than to expect anything from life. The two skills are identical in rank. Please select the core skill. It seemed that I could choose one of the skills to be the core if they were the same rank. Contempt for the Weak is probably a better choice than Sustain Battle. Skill Combination will start with Contempt for the Weak as the core. Current probability for a high-tier skill is 80%. Start thebination? There was only one answer for that question. Combinationplete. And as that message phased out, the new message emitted a golden glow. Forming a new skill! Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Dam i forgot how sadboi the mc was When will he get his confidence Chapter 41: Radiance (2) Chapter 41: Radiance (2) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] Skill Forceful Breakthrough (D) has been generated. My pupils widened at the glowing message. Huh, this is what happens? I thought the skill was going to be E-rank at most, but D As expected from the tower, the rewards were always amazing. Instead of staying surprised, I opened the skill window. Skill C Forceful Breakthrough (D) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Can break through any restrictions to movement. However, your mana level must be higher than that of your entrappers. This was better than what I imagined. It makes sense thatbining Contempt for the Weak and Sustain Battle would result in something like this. I cant say I was displeased with the result, but I was more curious than happy. Forceful Breakthrough Is it closely rted to Contempt for the Weak? The prerequisite for activation was pretty simr. I would only be able to activate it if my mana level was higher than the casters. But the effect itself was much more closely rted to Sustain Battle. This is like a perfectly bnced mix of the two skills. Since Contempt for the Weak was the core, it would decide the activation prerequisites rather than the effect. However, I couldnt bepletely sure about that yet Maybe I should try this out a couple more times. I needed a skill that was barely used but had some proficiency. Listing the avable skills. Please select two skills from the list. It didnt take long to select the two least used skills. It wasnt too hard to decide since they were both F-tier skills that werent used often. Rangers Knowledges widened range of sight was pretty helpful during battle. And I dont think Ive ever used Heat Resistance. The only time it couldve been useful was in the second subtrial. It was hard to incorporate it into my fighting style, and its proficiency couldnt be increased easily. I wouldnt mind throwing this away. The two skills are identical in rank. Please select the core skill. I had to think a bit more carefully this time. If the activation requirement and restrictions are decided by the core, I should choose Rangers Knowledge. The fewer restrictions, the better. And heat resistance could only be used in very specific situations. Skillbination will start with Rangers Knowledge as the core. Current probability for a high-tier skill is 57%. Start thebination? The percentage is lower than before. Last time, there was an 80% chance to get a high-tier skill Does thepatibility between the two skills matter too? There must have been a bunch of unwritten rules that I didnt know yet. But there was no need to rush things. I could just learn as I went along. Press. I felt the skill disappear as soon as I pressed the button. Ah My field of vision narrowed instantly. I didnt know that a mere F-rank skill was affecting me this much. This could make a big difference the next time I went on the battlefield. Not a problem I expected to run into, but Ill just have to prepare for itter. Skillbinationplete. I smiled at the absence of the two old skills and looked at the new skill. Skill Strengthened Eyes (E-) has been generated. Hmm This had a much lower rank than Forceful Breakthrough. I think I was getting a better idea of how this skill worked. Skill C Strengthened Eyes (E-) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Able to see even in obscured environments. Also strengthens eyesight. The proficiency didnt carry over, but the result was simr to that of the previousbination. The activation requirement and nature of the skill seems to be determined by the core. And Heat Resistance added some resilience effects to the skill. I think I figured out what determines the tier upgrade rate. It was probably thepatibility of the two skills. Contempt for the Weak and Sustain Battle were somewhat rted to each other But I could tell that Heat Resistance and Rangers Knowledge were not verypatible. Looking back, Im actually surprised that the rank didnt decrease. I guess I should stop messing around with skills for now. There was onebination that might have worked well, but I didnt want to deal with the risks. Worst-case scenario, Id get a skill that was worse than either of the two Ibined. *** *** Lets look at the other rewards. Skill C Winds Blessing (A-) Proficiency C 0% Effect C Increases all speeds by 10% upon deration of the skills name. This effect can be stacked up to seven times. When the maximum amount of stacks is reached, the skill receives a one-day cooldown. So it basically increases all speeds by 70%. An effect that I could only dream of I wanted something to mitigate the harsh mana costs of instant eleration. Since Instant eleration was a D-rank skill, it took a decent amount of mana to activate. Although it seemed like it would rank up soon, I wanted to stop being so dependent on mana. These trial rewards were always satisfactory. In addition Boots of Swiftness Grade: C+ Movement Speed: +5% Boots decorated with tiny wings, created by magical mechanics. Movement elerates for a moment after reaching a certain speed. The bonus reward was a cherry on top of this agility sundae. This is an easy decision. I took off my current shoes and put on the new boots. The only thing left to do was to check themunity. You have entered themunity. Difficulty C Hard Floor 8 Community (787/1121) As expected, there was generally a very pleasant vibe in themunity. The tension eased as everyone was nning to go home. The low price of the permanent return stone also yed a big role in easing the tension. But there wasnt a single mention of radiance in the chat. I guess they wouldnt throw around important information like that. Anyone who had received one would know how insane the perks were. Hm, there isnt much information being exchanged here. I thought they would drop little nuggets of wisdom before they left. It was a shame since I recognized a bunch of these names from the rankings. No mentions of radiances or otherworldly beings. I guess everyone has their fair share of secrets. I pushed themunity to the side and opened the store instead. The system mentioned that the Skill Marketce was opening up. I also had to look into the floor intrusion system. Youve entered the Skill Marketce. Listing all avable skills. The quality of the skills wasnt as good as I expected. Most of them were at the bottom of the barrel. The only skills that mattered were at least D-ss, but those were expensive and hard to find. How is Instant eleration 8000 points? I got it for free, but it was very expensive at the store. It seemed that the skills in the store only went up to D-rank. Anything higher was grayed out, and nothing happened when I clicked on those skills. I probably have to meet some sort of requirement to unlock them. And that requirement was undoubtedly to get to a higher floor. As the admin previously said, the higher you were, the more you had ess to. I could probably get a couple of skills tobine. If I couldbine a bunch of F-rank skills to obtain higher-tier skills, itd be 100% worth it. I didnt have that many points yet, so I just picked the ones I needed. Ill need some mana-rted skills too. I reached into the depths of my memory to recall which two skills I needed the most. You have bought Mana Circuit (D-). 15,000 points deducted. You have bought Mana Resistance (D-). 12,000 points deducted. I purchased a total of two skills. Skill C Mana Circuit (D-) Proficiency C 0% Effect C The mana in your body forms a circuit and increases mana efficiency. Skill C Mana Resistance Proficiency C 0% Effect C Your body bes resistant to foreign mana. If the user does not have the Mana Circuit skill, the effect is drastically reduced. Vooom! My back lit up like a stove as soon as the purchase wasplete. It was definitely because of the circuits. Youre supposed to unlock the skill after you form the circuits But I guess the opposite was true for me. The condensed mana in my body formed lines that intertwined with each other. It was like heated steel wires twisting together. This type of pain was difficult to describe. Whoo The pain was temporary, and it didnt take long for the circuits to form. Actually, I wasnt even sure if the circuits had been formed. Kiiiing! Its working well. My suspicions cleared after some mana flowed through my head. Voom. After the mana circted through my body once, I felt like I was overflowing with energy. I focused all that energy into my right leg and mmed it down. CRASH! Ooh. The entire area shook, and the impact even caused the surrounding air to vibrate. All of the mana in my body could be focused to a single point. This was an effect of having circuits, and it felt good. It was as if I unlocked a sixth sense. The efficiency and amount of mana I could output were crazy. If this was just the circuits, I wonder what the famous Mana Resistance skill is like. In fact, the Mana Circuit skill was known in the huntermunity to be a stepping stone for the far superior Mana Resistance skill. But the importance of having a mana circuit couldnt be overlooked. Mana resistance is a must-have for any melee hunter. It was so difficult to acquire that some people would spend an entire year just to learn the skill. Even then, there was a reason why countless hunters made the effort to learn it. Not only did it reduce the effectiveness of skills against you, but it also made you resistant to magic. Although it wasnt as effective as an innate ability, I wouldnt be so easily restricted by innate abilities or skills anymore. I dont feel any different, but Ill have to checkter. The 8th floor was a checkpoint, so I had to make appropriate preparations. I needed to reach a point where I wouldnt almost die from whatever happened in the 7th trial. I needed to get stronger without directly entering a trial. And the solution to that problem was You have bought a Return Stone (F+). Not in the tower, but in a dungeon. A hunter had to be a hunter. It was time to graduate from being just a challenger. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Bin C 42 chaps in and were finally going into a dungeon! Also tag yourself im boomerpatrol Phylicia C Im CurryRice :> Chapter 42: Dungeon Incursion (1) Chapter 42: Dungeon Incursion (1) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] Honestly, I didnt really have to go back to Earth at this point. The tower still provided immense rewards, and I didnt have to wait to challenge the next trial. Clearing the 8th trial would definitely be beneficial. But If its as difficult as the 7th trial, I might not be able to pass. That was the problem. If the difficulty of the trials kept increasing at the same rate, the 8th trial would be too much for me to handle. It was also possible that I would run into an intruder from another world likest time. There were a lot of things to consider. I would have to get used to all my new skills and get a bit stronger. In that sense, dungeons were much more nurturing than the tower. And I wasnt the only one who thought this way. It looked like most people wanted to make some preparations outside the tower. We werent so different from each other after all. Everyone had different motives, such as earning money or gaining their powers back, but they all decided to climb the tower. I thought I was the odd one out, but I guess I was wrong. So many people wanted to climb just to get stronger. They saw this as an opportunity to turn their life around. Just like me. Well, that didnt mean I wanted to fight everyone. The subject suddenly changed to the outside world. Ooh. This was a topic I was interested in, so I decided to pay attention. For once, they were actually talking about something useful. I guess everyones finding out about the tower right now. It was strange that even the civilians knew about it. Maybe because that was the only thing the government could do about this situation. Makes sense. There was nothing a mere human could do about something like the great cmity. Just as I expected, the outside world had adjusted to the tower. Good thing I went back earlier. I finished registering and sold all my items already. The return stone is paying off already. I would have been on the same boat as all of these people if I hesitated any longer. I wouldve had to deal with all the annoying logistics too. I just have to focus on getting stronger now. Challenger Han Sungyeun, confirming intention to return. Consuming the Return Stone to return to Earth. *** *** Returned to challenger Han Sungyeuns residence. I woke up in my bed with a familiar message. Maybe it was because this was my second time, but returning felt much easier. As expected, all of my items came with me too. My items were scattered on my bed. The sword, shield, cloak, boots, pendant I dont think I can sell any of them this time though. I still wasnt ready to part with any of these items. Phew I took a deep breath of the stuffy studio air and nned my course of action. I didnt need to wash up because I had the cleansing stone And unlikest time, I didnt have enough time to rest. The purpose of this trip was to get stronger. I cant waste time. I needed a meticulous n. To get stronger, I needed to find my way into a dungeon. But getting into one was harder than it seemed. For your first dungeon, you needed to be apanied by at least one other person. This rule was set to prevent new hunters from getting into idents. The problem is that finding a party is a pretty difficult task And there were a bunch of other problems such as distributing the rewards or partying with a malicious hunter. Thats why you needed a strongwork to get into a dungeon, whether it was a guild, family, or friends. But it was safe to say that I had none of that. Damn it. I never thought Id live to see the day when I would need awork of my own. Even if I solved this problem, I would also need to find a dungeon I could actually get into. There were a bunch of dungeons that were managed by guilds or associations, but that posed a whole new set of problems. Exclusive dungeons were rtively easy to get into. If I were part of a guild, all Id have to do was sign up for my guilds exclusive dungeon. But public dungeons were different. Most public dungeons had long wait times and were very inefficient to grind in. This was because most of the good dungeons were automatically imed. Just problem after problem. I sighed and walked out onto my balcony. The scenery wasnt anything magnificent, but the fresh air still cleared my head. What should I do? It was toote to join a guild and meet people Actually, there is one person in mywork. It wasnt the closest rtionship, but it wasnt nothing. The only person I talked to in the tower. -Please contact Lee Hayeon of the White Silver guild once you get back to Earth. She even added me as a friend. Of course, I never actually messaged her afterwards. She did try to contact me a couple of times, but I never had the time to respond. In one of those messages, she left her number and asked me to give her a call once I got the time. Seeing that her skills werent too bad, she was probably back by now. I did help her with the 4th trial. Maybe I should give her a call. It wasnt something Id normally do, but I was desperate. I took out my phone to give her a call. Vmmmmm! Emergency Text Alert Undetected D-ss gates were found in Uijeongbu, Jikdonggeonlin Park. A total of three gates were found, and all three need permanent supervision. All civilians are advised to avoid the park. No, wait. I was going to try to use my connection with the Lotus guild to get by, but this changes everything. Undetected gates were like clearance sales for hunters. These types of gates were handled not by an organization, but by whoever happened to be nearby. Unexpected gates are a blessing in disguise. If this were a game, it would be like a double exp event. Nearby hunters tended to team up as fast as possible just to get in there. I opened the hunter association app. Looking for a melee hunter with good utility for a party of three. ISO Jikdonggeonlin Park duo. D or higher only. Party of 5 looking for heal/tank hunters. In just a few minutes, the forums were full of people looking for party members. I couldnt NOT join in. No reason to miss out on the event. And I could practice my new abilities at the same time. Its like a buy one get one free sale. It was time to go into my first dungeon. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC usually think of everything BEFORE he goes anywhere except today i guess *ISO: in search of Chapter 43: Dungeon Incursion (2) Chapter 43: Dungeon Incursion (2) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] I replied to a listing as I walked out of my apartment. This should be alright. The party I applied to was the one looking for a duo. ISO Jikdonggeonlin Park duo. D or higher only. Since all the rewards and responsibilities were split evenly, duo parties were typically formed by very skilled hunters. There was a little more risk involved, but it couldnt be that much worse than the 4th trial. I literally put those two in a stroller and rolled them out of the trial. If I cant even solo a D-grade dungeon, thats an entirely different problem on its own. Soon enough, my party request was epted. He probably saw that I was a C-rank hunter and epted it immediately. He was even willing to give up any of the special rewards. I guess he really wanted to duo with me. Pros of being a high-ranking hunter. With a smirk on my face, I grabbed a taxi off the side of the road. Jikdonggeonlin Park, please. I was wondering what I would do if there was an item I really needed. I guess I dont even need to worry. I could already tell that this was going to be very worthwhile. *** Sitting on a bench in Jikdonggeonlin Park, Lee Cheolwon hastily typed his post. Holy shit, why are there so many people here? It hadnt even been an hour since the emergency alerts were sent, but there were already crowds of over ten people by the gates. Lee Cheolwon let out a sigh after seeing the high spec gear everyone had on. How many hunters were near the area? He thought there would be two, or maybe three teams. It must be because of the damn trial tower or whatever. Recently, hunters who were at a ce called the Tower of Trials sold a bunch of low-grade items and made it really hard for amateur hunters to make a living. The items werent worth what they used to be All the low-rank hunters nearby probably came here to make a quick buck. Lifes hard, huh. Despite that, Lee Cheolwon had no intentions of backing down. For a D-rank hunter like him, entering this gate would be like winning a lottery. It was typically much harder to earn big bucks while frencing in the public dungeons. Plus, the items from those dungeons werent worth much anymore. The world was changing again. Even a low-tier hunter like Cheolwon could tell. There were all kinds of rumors about the tower, like how it roped in civilians forcefully. Or how the hunters would lose all their powers once they entered the tower. It was like the great cmity all over again. At least my partner is supposed to be a C-rank hunter. It doesnt look like he has much experience, but hes still a higher rank than me. A high-ranking hunter with no experience was way better than a low-ranking hunter with experience. No matter how much experience you had, raw power is what mattered the most. It was then. Are you Lee Cheolwon? The one looking for a duo? The anticipated C-rank hunter had finally arrived. *** I walked over to the man sitting on the bench after arriving at the park. Is this the person who was looking for a duo? He must be, since this was the location that he specified in his texts. Yeah, Im Lee Cheolwon. Does that mean youre Yes, Im Han Sungyeun. Ah, nice to meet you. You seem like a promising new hunter. Haha, its not like that. You seem to have a lot more experience than me. Ill be in your care. I scoped this Lee Cheolwon person out while we made small talk. A spear engraved with a lions face and leather armor with an aura of cool air. His equipment was so well-maintained that I could tell the items were high-quality at a nce. Better than I thought. I guess he wasnt looking for a duo just to get carried. Most of his items seemed to be above E-grade, which made him seem more trustworthy. Even though I didnt know the exact effects of his items, he should be an adequate partner to clear this dungeon with. As I was admiring my luck, Lee Cheolwon started to speak. I know you were already informed, but there are a total of three gates in this park. We will be entering the second one, and I already got the license to go in. And I doubt any other teams want to get into this one. Hmmm, sounds nice. Can I ask why none of the other teams want this dungeon? Its a bit more dangerous than the other two dungeons, and the internal structure is very narrow. A party with more than three people would have a difficult time getting anything done. The hunters around us were all in full parties. This meant that we would have the dungeon all to ourselves. And that means more rewards for me. Lee Cheolwon continued to speak as I stood there and listened. Yeah, and since Im a D-rank and youre a C, this is very doable. As if he had to convince me to not turn back. I see. I agree with you. I didnt have any intentions of going back empty-handed. And this is a prime opportunity to train for the 8th trial. That was half the reason I came here. We dont have too much time left, so lets get going. Well be distributing all the rewards 50/50 like standard duo parties. And if you want to, we can discuss iming specific drops from the dungeonter. I nodded. Sure. There wasnt much to disagree on. Ill be in your care now, Hunter Han Sungyeun-nim. He smiled and stuck out his hand. Likewise. I shook his hand and gave him a faint smile. It was time to start my first dungeon incursion as a hunter. *** *** Voom! The scenery changed as soon as we stepped into the portal at the center of the park. Of course, something like this didnt surprise me anymore. It wasmon in the tower. Also, I already knew that these gates generated domains that werepletely disconnected from reality. I heard that the mostmon environments were ins, deserts, or cave-like areas. And this time, it happened to be a cave. What a shame. Melee fighting styles arent very suited for caves. Lee Cheolwon looked around the cave with a frown. He wouldnt be able to fully swing his spear in an environment that was this narrow There were other factors as well. This cave is definitely too narrow for two people to fight side by side. I agreed with the scowling man and started to observe the area. There was just enough room for us to walk side by side. Even though my weapon was a sword, there still wasnt enough space for both of us to swing our weapons simultaneously. But this was just the entrance, and we didnt know what was ahead of us. Dungeons could be quite unpredictable. I was sure the area would widen as we approached the center of the dungeon. But that didnt mean that we could let our guard down. Monsters cane out no matter where you are in the dungeon. They tended to not be near the entrance, but nothing was guaranteed in dungeons. I slowly raised my sword and suggested that we keep walking. Lets keep up our guard and start moving forward. He finally snapped out of his thoughts and nodded. Youre right. Just follow me while being wary of our surroundings. He got in front of me and started taking the lead. Wait, I wanted to be in the front. It would have been the ideal way to test out all the new skills I had. I wanted to protest against his decision, but Lee Cheolwon was an experienced hunter. I guess its only right that he takes the lead. And I heard that the real hunting started at the center of the dungeon. There was no need to rush into things. Trying out my new skills was important, but observing an experienced hunter would also be beneficial. I reassured myself and followed Lee Cheolwon deeper into the cave. It was then. Kieeeeek Lee Cheolwons eyes widened as the low-pitched growl got louder. Hmm, lizardmen Thats not a good sign. Lizardmen were D-ranked humanoid reptilian monsters. The only special thing about them was that they used weapons skills, unlike goblins or orcs. They were actually known to have high-tier weapon skills. Kieeek, kieeeek. A lizardman holding a long spear red its eyes as it made its way toward us. A long spear and weapon skills? Thats gonna be annoying. Itll be better if one of us takes it down. Yeah. Ill take him since I have a longer range with my spear. Okay. I thought about it for a bit, but this was just one monster. Ill let him have this one. Plus, this was an opportunity to see how an experienced hunter fought. I was about to take a step back until I saw that Lee Cheolwon was just staring the lizardman down. What the? I thought he would end the fight instantly, but they both circled each other. Feigning attacks while looking for opportunities to strike? This was not what I signed up to see. I wasnt going to waste my three days on Earth like this. Why was he struggling so much against a single lizardman at the entrance? Stalling like this could be problematic Emergency gates were different from normal dungeons in a couple of ways. The only reason they let random hunters into these gates was to stop the monsters from getting out. After some time, the hunter association would either blockade the gate or designate it as a public dungeon. Then the hunters from the association coulde and clear the dungeon. I was under not one, but two different time limits. We cant waste any more time. Change of ns. I was done observing this guy. Let me lend you a hand. My actions were faster than my words. I propelled myself forward instantly. Crash! Lee Cheolwon stared in dismay as I bolted past him. What the fuck?! Ce ba- He seemed to be startled at my sudden decision to dash in. Instant eleration. But as soon as I activated the skill Activating the skill Instant eleration. Lee Cheolwons desperate cry was cut short. sh-! Huh? A mere D-rank monster had no chance of following my elerated movements. Plop. Its over. That was enough for its head to drop to the floor. I guess dungeons dont make the monsters particrly strong. The lizardman felt a little weakpared to the D-rank monsters I faced in the tower, but that was not important right now. I swung my sword to clean the blood off. Sorry, Im in a bit of a rush. I hope you dont mind. Ah yeah I understand. Very understandable. He nodded as he stared into the empty space in front of me. It was as if he didnt understand what had just happened This was the perfect time to convince him. By the way, I have a suggestion. Are you open to one? S-sure. Anything. I gave him my brightest smile and finally spoke my mind. I want to stand in the front. I couldnt waste the whole day on this dungeon. It was time to pick up the pace. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! I smell an mc simp No waifus tho Chapter 44: Dungeon Incursion (3) Chapter 44: Dungeon Incursion (3) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] Initially, I nned to stay put until we reached the center area. I was going to observe Lee Cheolwon and learn from his fighting style. I thought that observing an experienced hunter would be a reward in itself. But I had no idea that it would take this long. I was already running out of time. Time left C 68 hours 38 min A holographic message in the corner of my eye told me how much time I had left. This may have seemed like more than enough time, but I had other ns after clearing the dungeon. I cant waste all my time here. I could contact the guilds or the association or even collect more information about what was going on. Calling Lee Hayeon to help me build mywork was also an option. No matter what I decided to do, I would need ample time. He gives me no choice. If he was struggling with something like this, we would take forever toplete the dungeon. I stood in front of him and focused my gaze on the center of the cave. Lets change our approach. What do you mean? Until we find a wider area to fight in, Ill take care of all the monsters. Um, okay. He hesitated for a bit before sumbing. At least he wasnt very hard to convince. Ill take care of the looting as well. As soon as I finished speaking, I headed toward the lizardman corpse. Unlike those in the tower, the monsters in the dungeon had cores. Even though I never did this before, I knew what to do in theory. Slit! Its skin split in half, and a purple gemstone revealed itself near where the heart should have been. I reached into the corpse to rip the stone out. This was easier than I thought. I used the assassins cloak to wipe the blood off my hands. Leaving blood on my hands could be a fatal mistake if it caused my sword to slip out of my hands. I could always just clean off the cloakter. This was why I bought the cleansing stone. I cleaned off the core as well and stood back up. Core Grade: D- A mana-filled core harvested from the heart of a lizardman. Could be very beneficial during alchemy or crafting. Ooh, this works. My eye of truth activated to show some details about the core. I purposely tried to activate it without saying anything, and it worked better than I thought. I didnt think it would be usable in battle because I had to concentrate a decent amount. Activating skills like this required a pretty high proficiency. Ill have to learn how to do this for instant eleration as well. Being able to activate active skills at a moments notice had its merits. Ill save that for when I get back to the waiting room. At first, I was excited to see the details on the core since it didnt have a normal description. Unfortunately Eh, nothing special. I lost interest pretty quickly. I tossed the core into a bag I was carrying and turned to face the bewildered Lee Cheolwon. Ill hold onto this for now. We can decide who gets to keep itter. Ah, yeah Is this your second time in a dungeon? Hmm, not really I guess you just seem very experienced I fought my ass off in the tower and spent countless years studying theories, but that wasnt any of his business. I just saw it on Youtube. Really. Ah, okay He looked at me inconspicuously but didnt question it any further. My records did say that I had no experience, and that wasnt very important right now. He can think whatever he wants as long as he doesnt keep bothering me with questions. You have absorbed the soul of the lizardman. Proficiency increased by 0.7% Its getting harder to increase proficiency with D-rank monsters. My face scrunched up as I walked away from the corpse. The only reason I came here was to prepare for the 8th trial, but I was barely making any progress. I guess I could use my innate ability to raise my stats to a certain point, but it wouldnt evene close to ranking up. Honestly, ranking up my innate ability was difficult even in the tower. It made sense that fighting weaker monsters in this dungeon wasnt much help. However, quantity was more important than quality. If I could farm every monster in this dungeon, there would be a noticeable difference sooner orter. Lets keep moving. I stared into the dark like a starving kid looking at a buffet. It was time to start the hunt. *** *** Pat! You have absorbed the soul of the lizardman. Proficiency increased by 0.7% Three. Snap! Sssp! Chaack! Six. Squawk! Crash! Taaang! You have absorbed the soul of the lizardman. Proficiency increased by 0.7% Nine. Sssat-! Han Sungyeuns monotone counting echoed through the cave. What the fuck? Lee Cheolwon pinched himself to see if he was dreaming. His profile said that he was a beginner with no previous dungeon experience Whats with this ridiculous strength?! His level of strength was almost concerning at this point. A lizardman was dying every time he moved. All Lee Cheolwon could do was stand still and watch. Han Sangyeun wasnt using psychological warfare or a fluidbination of skills, but they were all dropping like flies. By the time his sword reached the end of its path, all of the lizardmens heads were rolling on the floor. There were no words to describe it. Hes on apletely different level. This was not how any lower-tier hunters fought. They were meticulous when dealing with monsters that had weapon skills. Some skills could bring the monsters power to another level. But Han Sungyeun didnt seem to pay much attention to that. His movements were so fast and precise that he almost seemed bored. Wow Lee Cheolwon never intended to clear the dungeon. More urately, he didnt think it was possible to clear itpletely. He was still a low-tier hunter. It wouldve been different if there were more people, but all he nned to do was to take a peek at the center. He didnt expect to get any special rewards. That was why he offered to give all the special rewards to the other person. But looking at Han Sungyeun fight made him change his mind. His monstrous battle sense could change everything. If they killed the dungeon boss, they could end up iming the gate. He would have to hand it over to Han Sungyeun in that case, but it didnt matter. The basic rewards were already worth a lot of money. As excited as he was, Lee Cheolwon was also bewildered. If this was how strong Han Sungyeun was as a beginner, how strong would he be in the future? He could be the next big name hunter of Korea He instinctively knew that this was the birth of a star. *** Phew Plop, plop. The blood of the scattered lizardmen corpses dripped onto the floor of the cave, forming tiny pools. Looking back, I realized that I had killed more than I expected. The only problem was that I wasnt able to test my new ability. The space is a little too tight for me to summon anything useful. Lee Cheolwon already couldnt swing his spear. The forceful breakthrough skill wouldnt work either. None of the opponents used any crowd control skills, but that might change soon. The boss room gate! Lee Cheolwon admired the red portal from the back. The boss room was where the core that formed and maintained the dungeon resided. Suddenly, the reason that Lee Cheolwon couldnt participate in any of the battles urred to me. This dungeon was designed for a single person. I cant believe that the space never fully expanded. Thanks to that, I had to take care of all the enemies. But I didnt have anyints since I could take all the souls for myself. Lee Cheolwon seemed pleased but slightly wary of my mood. Ehem, Im sorry. I didnt realize that the whole cave would be this narrow. I wont object if you decide to take arger percentage of the rewards. Heughed because he probably realized how ridiculous his suggestion sounded. Its alright. We can split it 50/50. I just feel bad that I- On the condition that I can keep all the boss room rewards. Lee Cheolwon was the one who got the license to enter this dungeon. Even if he didnt participate in the battles, he still had a right to the rewards. The dungeon was also beneficial to my growth, so I felt kind of bad about taking most of the rewards for myself. Well, I might have taken all of them if he didnt get the license. If thats all you want, I would be happy to concede all of the boss room rewards. Lee Cheolwon replied carefully after considering my proposition. Thats all I need. Are you fine with going into the boss room now? I mean, of course I didnt do anything. Dont you need to take a break? I dont really feel the need to. I-I see He stared at me like I was an exotic animal in the zoo, but what was I supposed to say? Since the monsters came one at a time, I couldnt have gotten tired. It wouldve been tougher if they came at me all at once like the orcs. Without coordinated attacks, I wasnt even close to being out of breath. Anyway, I couldnt waste time resting. I had to take full advantage of this dungeon and leave as soon as possible. Alright. Lets go in. Lets get out of here. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC: this tunnel is so tight Me: thats what she said Chapter 45: Dungeon Incursion (4) Chapter 45: Dungeon Incursion (4) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] Voom As we stepped through the crimson portal into the boss room, I couldnt help but be amazed at the monstrosity before me. It was sitting on a roughly chiseled stone chair, and it let out a low-pitched growl. Krrrr Lee Cheolwon stared at the monster, which was three or four times the size of a normal lizardman. I noticed that there were a lot of lizardmen here. That must be the lizard king. Seemed fitting. A lizard king. A more evolved version of a lizardman. They usually had a lot of utility skills, and their weapon skills were several times more deadly than normal lizardmans. They could temporarily disable a targets movements and even poison them. They might seem like a pain in the ass to deal with, but they actually arent that bad. I knew even though I had never fought one. The hunter association said that an experienced B-rank hunter could solo this thing. Lizard kings had a variety of skills but didnt specialize in anything. I read that it shouldnt be too hard as long as you can use some of your skills. The skills that I got from the tower should be more than enough. W-what are you going to do? The innocent D-rank hunter questioned me nervously. He must have thought that the two of us wouldnt be able to take it on, but that wasnt a problem. Just wait here for a bit. Huh? I-I mean, do you have a n? I can support you! Im good. Just stay back. You can help me if I look like Im in trouble. I could finally see exactly how much stronger I had gotten in the tower. Beating this boss with Lee Cheolwons assistance would be pointless. Eh, it doesnt look like itll take that long. Koong. The ground shook as the displeased lizard king stood up from his throne. It was then. H-hes going to attack! Be carefu- Craang! I dashed forward before Lee Cheolwon finished speaking. I already knew about the pre-attack signal. Winds blessing. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 10%. Number of stacks C 1/7 The crisp winds cloaked my body, and I moved as if I were immune to friction. Graw. A strange force rippled through the air as he let out a short growl. You have been exposed to the skill Roar of Lethargy. All speeds decreased by 25%. Another debuff skill The past me would have found a way to work around the debuff, but I was different now. Ill just ignore it. Activating the skill Forceful Breakthrough. The yers mana is more than two times that of the entrappers. Ignoring movement debuffs. Grr?! As I sped up again, I started circting some mana throughout my body. Not only did it strengthen my body, but it also helped me increase my speed even more. At the same time, I swung my sword at the lizard king. A typical D-rank monster would have dropped dead on the spot ng! Oh But the lizard king quickly regained hisposure and defended himself. He pulled out a longsword and blocked my attack. As expected, he was more difficult to deal with than his henchmen. I guess Ill have to try a bit harder. There was no need to hold back. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 60%. Number of stacks C 6/7 I stepped back for a second to buy some time to summon a couple of baits. Consuming multiple souls to summon a skeleton. Number of souls in possession C 21/30 The souls disappeared in an instant, and my summoner abilities activated. ck, ck. Dark smog rose from the ground, and a small skeleton appeared as the fog dissipated. Tsss. There were white mes where its eyes shouldve been. The little rock star ran toward the lizard king. Hm, it doesnt look like I can control their actions Not bad, since I wouldnt have to split my attention during battle. However, it might not have been worth all those souls. Crack! The skeleton broke after taking one hit from the lizard kings sword. The summoned skeleton has vanished. It was pretty weak considering how many souls were needed to summon it. But it already did its job. Since the lizard king felt threatened by the speed at which my skeleton rushed toward him, he had taken arge swing. He had left many openings along the sides of his body. I can take him. With six stacks of Winds Blessing, I was already pretty fast. Due to Boots of Swiftnesss (C+) effect, your eleration is momentarily increased. And I felt like I was walking on air after the effect of my new item kicked in. I struck the lizard king with all my momentum. The dungeon boss Lizard King has died. The boss will appear again 14 dayster. *** *** aat!! Well that was a bit anticlimactic. Plop. I wiped the sttered blood off my face andughed. The boss shouldnt have been hard to deal with, but I didnt expect it to be so easy to kill. The skills I got throughbination are more effective than I thought. Strengthened Eyes didnt do much for me, but Forceful Breakthrough was on a different level. I felt like I had ovee my weakness against restriction-type skills. Forceful Breakthrough might not work against some opponents, but thats why I got Mana Resistance. Also, the rewards from the 7th trial were crazy. Winds Blessing increased all speeds by 60% at virtually no cost, and the boots enhanced that effect. Having Force Breakthrough and Winds Blessing was already overpowered Combined with my new summoner abilities, the synergy was insane. Even though the skeleton got one-shotted, it was still useful for distracting enemies. I was pretty satisfied with the battle overall. The skeleton could have been more sturdy, but I would take care of thatter. Uhhh I turned around to find Lee Cheolwon gawking at me. H-how? He seemed very confused, but I didnt really have an answer for him. I just did it because I could Maybe the battle meant more to him than it did to me. I get it though. It wasnt every day that you got to join a boss raid. And I was a tad stronger than a typical C-rank hunter. A-are you a high-ranking hunter who had their te wiped clean? Lee Cheolwon wouldnt be satisfied with a half-assed answer. No, its not anything like that. And Im not a part of an org either. B-but C-rank hunters usually arent this strong I dunno. Im not sure exactly how strong I am since I just got stronger recently. That was a lie. I had a fairly urate estimate of my current strength level. In terms ofbat skill, I was probably on par with A-rank hunters. I just didnt want to reveal all my information to him. Anyway, the dungeon belongs to us now since we beat the boss. I changed the subject of the conversation to the dungeon. Right, the ownership of the gate Since this is a persistent gate, you can do whatever you want with it. Best news Ive heard in a while. I could use the extra cash. Ill just sell it if I can. Then I would buy some items to take back to the tower. I could just use the dungeon for myself, but that was harder than it looked. I didnt want to fill out all the paperwork, and it would be annoying to grind the dungeon over and over again. Plus, it wouldnt really help me grow anyway. I have nothing to say about the gates ownership. Then you have noints about me taking the gate for myself? Yeah. You basically soloed this dungeon anyway He probably thought he was lucky to have gotten even a fraction of the rewards. Well, lets loot the lizard king and get out of here. I headed to the lizard kings corpse before Lee Cheolwon could change his mind. Looting it was only second to what I really wanted to do. You have absorbed the soul of the lizard king. Proficiency increased by 11% As expected. The lizard king far surpassed the lizardmens 0.7%. As I approached the corpse to extract the core, I activated necromancy. Permanently increasing your stats using the lizard kings soul. Strength increased by 2. Agility increased by 1. Stamina increased by 4. Mana increased by 4. Tenacity increased by 5. I left most of the souls alone just in case I needed them for protection or something, but the lizard kings soul was worth consuming for the stats. Increasing my stats for the 8th trial was one of the reasons I came to Earth anyway. Hm, not bad. But the messages werent over. Acquiring one of the lizard kings skills. ? I hadpletely forgotten that this could happen. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Bin- Go little rock star~ Phylicia- :rseveryonelookingatnankit: I only kept that part so Bin could make this joke :/ Bin- Why the skelly so weak it seems like a waste Chapter 46: Contract (1) Chapter 46: Contract (1) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C Phylicia ] Sim Woojin, leader of the Uijeongbu Gate Supervision Team, yawned as he stared nkly at the gates spread throughout Jikdonggeonlin Park. So boring. All the other dispatch agents were on guard. Upper-level management seemed to be rattled up about the emergency gates. Eh, doesnt look like anything special is gonna happen. He had seen simr situations countless times over thest three years. The only difference was that the gates here were perpetual. Perpetual gates remained in ce semi-permanently, and they were often purchased at a high price by guilds or the association. But that has nothing to do with me. The association wouldnt gain anything by clearing this gate They would get neither the rewards nor the credit. All the credit was given to the gate execution team. At least the gate execution team gets an exorbitant amount of cash The gate supervision team got nothing. All they did was stand guard aimlessly until the other teams arrived. It would be a different story if someone showed up and cleared the gate. Smirk. Only an A-ss hunter would be able to do something like that. But there was no way that an A-ss hunter would rush to an emergency gate to make some petty cash. It was then. Hm? Out of nowhere, two hunters walked out from one of the gates in the park. Sim Woojin stared at them in confusion. What happened? Theres no way they finished already. Why did theye out? His questions didnt stay unanswered for long. Uhhh? The azure gate turned into an ashy color as soon as the two hunters stepped out. As far as he knew, there was only one condition under which this happened. When the boss room is cleared Also, the boss would respawn after a certain time period. This meant that those two just cleared a perpetual gate by themselves. What the fuck?! He couldnt help but burst intoughter when he realized this. For the first time in his three years of being part of the supervision team, someone had cleared a dungeon. *** I came out of the gate with a huge smile on my face. Skill C Minds Eye (D-) Proficiency C 0% Effect C During battle, you can perceive attacks from outside your range of vision. I had obtained one of the lizard kings skills. Because of the low probability, I hadnt even considered that this would happen. My luck seemed to have turned around after I entered the tower of trials. I seriously cant believe that I got a skill. I would probably get more skills once I absorbed all of the lizardmen. Mybination skill would soone in handy again. I knew going into the dungeon was the right choice. After looking at the unexpected rewards from the excavation, I couldnt help but be satisfied. As I walked out with a triumphant look on my face, a man in a ck suit interrupted me. Please wait! He sprinted toward me and paused to catch his breath. Did you clear this gate? Lee Cheolwon turned around to answer that question with another question. Im sorry, but who are you to ask us that? Taken aback, the man ced his hands on his heart and exhaled. Ah, Im sorry about that. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sim Woojin, and Im the leader of the hunter associations gate supervision team. Gate supervision team? Yes, thats correct. Haha, I didnt get a chance to greet you earlier because another member of my team was stationed at the gate. It looked like he rushed here after noticing that we cleared the gate. Fine by me. I was looking for a way to sell the ownership license. This would save me the trouble of looking for a potential buyer myself. I wouldve sold it to a guild if I were associated with one, but the hunter association was probably the best option right now. Lee Cheolwon was the first to respond. By any chance, did you want to purchase the rights to this gate? Yes. I wanted to offer you two a deal *** *** I dont have a say in that. Excuse me? The only person who has the rights to this gate is hunter Han Sungyeun right here. ! Sim Woojins attention shifted to me. If you cleared it alone, are you perhaps an A-rank I cut him off before the misunderstanding could grow out of hand. No, Im a C-rank hunter. Oh? I-I see. Thats not the important part. Lets get right to the point. Whats your offer price? Sim Woojin probably didnt expect me to react this way, but I didnt want to give any more information about myself. The association was tracking down all the hunters who had been to the tower. I had to change the subject. Thankfully, Sim Woojin seemed to be on the same page as me. Ehem. To get to the point, my team would like to purchase the rights to this gate at 1.2 million dors. Ooh It was more than I expected. They were willing to pay 1.2 million for just a D-rank gate. Is this gate even worth that much? With that kind of money, you could easily buy a C-rank dungeon. Of course I would be surprised. It seems like a fair price. Ill take it. I tried to be as monotone as possible. Thank you for the quick response. The contract will Im a little busy right now. Can we do it as soon as possible? I can prepare the contract right now. Would you like to sign it nearby? That works for me. I couldnt stay here for long. Sim Woojin told me that he would meet me at a cafe nearby. Wow, that was amazing. Ive never seen someone get an offer on the spot like that. Lee Cheolwon stared at me in awe. Really? Doesnt this happen afterpleting a dungeon? That only happens to high-rank hunters, not people like us. Well, lets start splitting the loot. No matter what happened, you were still the one who got us into the dungeon. Okay, do you mind if I sell the cores? I know a guy who would buy it for above market price. Hmm, I dont mind. Lets do that. Why am I trusting aplete stranger with this? Because it would save me the trouble of finding a ce to sell them. Plus, I made a lot more money by selling the rights to the gate. If you leave me your contact information, Ill give you a call. After we exchanged our information, Lee Cheolwon left the premises. Now, lets go finalize that contract. I didnt have much time left. I have to make the most of it. The chance that another emergency gate would pop up was close to zero. If I wanted to go into a higher-tier dungeon, I would need some sort of connection. I already had a n for that. *** The contract was finalized without a hitch. As per the contract, I will send you the money by tomorrow. Sim Woojin gave me a wide smile as soon as I signed. I appreciated how quick and smooth the process was, and I got up from my seat. Han Sungyeun-nim, if you arent tied to any organization, would you be interested in joining the hunter association? Are you asking if I want to be a hunter for the association? Yes. I checked your records, and you seem to be a recently registered hunter. We assure you that the association will provide you with the best possible conditions. I considered it for a moment. I would need to join some sort of organization if I wanted to act at my discretion. And I had no qualms about that organization being the hunter association. Plus, this was the second time they had given me a scouting offer. But I was a bit reluctant to get tied to an organization. I would prefer something like a frence position while still having ess to everything I needed It all came down to how strict the association was with their hunters. And in my head, they werent very strict. It was a viable choice, but I wanted to give it more thought. I could alwayse back to thister, and I already had something nned. I cant give you a response right now. I understand. A skilled hunter like you needs to explore their options. But lets stay in contact, and Ill let you know if I change my mind. Thats enough for me. Haha, Ill get going then. Sim Woojin left with a grin on his face, and I took out my smartphone to get in touch with the only person whom I could call my work. Hello, this is Han Sungyeun. We met on the 4th floor. Do you have time to meet with me if youre on Earth? My teammate from the 4th floor, Lee Hayeon. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Womp womp Chapter 47: Contract (2) Chapter 47: Contract (2) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C DVN-L ] Piles of paperwork were stacked throughout the offices in the White Silver guild. Hwooo Aghh, Im so tired. The team leader of the newly formed Challenger Supervision division, Lee Hayeon, let out a low sigh. How could she not after seeing the unending pile of paperwork on her desk? It had already been three days since she got out of the tower, but she didnt seem to be faring any better. Because Ive been working non-stop since I got back. Most people would have been enjoying all the luxuries that they missed in the tower but Lee Hayeon chose to inform the White Silver guild of the Tower of Trials. We need a team to identify and recruit the challengers thate home from the Tower of Trials. They will bring about the next revolution. The team was created to adapt to the ever-changingndscape of this world. Lee Hayeon didnt consider the tower to be a disaster, but another opportunity. The tower had a lot of risks associated with it, but the rewards were just as valuable. And The tower isnt a ce for just hunters. Any normal civilian could be summoned there for no reason at all. Since only the hunters abilities are reset upon the start of the trials, a normal person could see this as an opportunity to awaken If those people survived, they must have gotten a lot more powerful. There was no question that scouting them would benefit the guild greatly. Same with hunters. Since challengers receive rewards as they climb Hunters could grow to be even stronger than they previously were. No matter what happened, maintaining a friendly rtionship with the challengers would prove to be a profitable investment. So Lee Hayeon founded the Challenger Supervision team and became its first leader. She was currently doing all that she could to identify and reach out to those who came out of the tower. Of course, it wasnt as easy as it sounded. I know that they dont want to be discovered but I didnt realize how hard this would be The challengers never outright revealed that they were from the tower. It would be a lot easier if I could just do this when Im back at the tower, but I still have some time left before I return The problems kept umting the more she looked into it. And Besides a handful of people, the number of thoughtful and cautious challengers shed recruited was barely in the double digits. Even worse, most of them were from the easy difficulty. That wasnt enough to effectively take advantage of this new world that was the Tower of Trials. If only we had a single person from the hard difficulty. An ambitious enough challenger would be itching to keep climbing the tower if they had half a brain. Just like that man Lee Hayeon saw on the 4th floor. I wonder what hes up to now. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that he single-handedly cleared the 4th trial. Not even the more experienced hunters could do anything against his strength. Too bad he hadnt responded to any of my messages after adding me as a friend. Maybe it was because he wasnt very talkative post-murder but I also didnt say much. I wouldnt be surprised if hed already returned to Earth and gone back for the next trial. Hes too much of a gem to miss though His insane growth was just a part of it, but more than that, he was a trainee without any ties to big organizations. Should I have tried to recruit him when I had the chance? And while she was swimming in regret Bzzzt! ? The facedown smartphone got Lee Hayeons attention. What is it? I dont think theres anyone whod contact me at this time. She reached out to see if it was another spam text and then Huh? When she saw who the message was from Hello, this is Han Sungyeun. We met on the 4th floor. Do you have time to meet with me if youve returned? She almost forgot how to breathe. *** *** I put my phone back in my pocket after sending the text. There was no guarantee that she was back here on Earth or that shed see the message but Well, it wasnt something to think that hard about. I already got my most pressing concern out of the way, and I could always think more about joining different organizations. All I wanted to ask was if she knew of any ce that may ept the terms that I came up with. I guess it doesnt matter if she ends up not responding. But As soon as I stepped out of the cafe. Bzzzt! ? My phone rendered my concerns meaningless as it rang not a minute after my message had been sent. Wha- Of course! I can meet with you any time! It might have been just me, but I got a cheerful vibe from the message. But that wasnt a bad thing. So youve returned as well. Do you have time to meet sometime soon? I got the cheapest return stone, so I dont have much time. As soon as I was about to send that message Ding! If you let me know where you are Ill go as soon as I can! I smiled at the fact that she responded to a message I hadnt even sent. I guess shes in a rush too. I was wondering if she bought the same type of return stone as me but That wasnt that important, so I erased the current message to send her a new response. Not even a secondter Alright. Im heading there now. Please give me a second. I told her my location and her messages stopped after saying she was on her way. Maybe shes closer than I thought. Well, she didnt tell me exactly when she was getting here but Judging by her text, I feel like it wouldnt take that long. I sat back down and leisurely sipped on a drink for maybe 10 minutes before Di-ring The doors to the cafe opened and a harsh gasping filled the room. When I turned around to see who had entered, a beautifuldy in a ck suit greeted me. Mister Huff Han? It was Lee Hayeon. When did you get back? I assumed that you returned early because you didnt respond to my message. It was as though she didnt believe that Id still be here. I could understand why she thought that though. I made an erratic move of returning for three days on the 5th floor; theres no way she could have predicted where I was. Maybe if I responded to her message but I ended up ignoring that She had the right to be a little surprised. I had to return for a bit on the 5th floor and just reached the 8th now. I actually only just returned today. And the message Im sorry. I must have missed it. Of course, I knew about the message. I was just never in a position to send a response. No, no. Its nothing to apologize about. But why on the 5th? I cant go into detail, but it was just some personal business. I see. Well, thats not the important part. Im d that we both made it out of that tower alive. She started smiling but her face froze once she realized something. Does that mean you wont be climbing the tower anymore? No, its not that. I didnt even hesitate to answer that question. Id already made my decision way before the 8th floor. Its toote to take it back. As soon as I felt the euphoria of winning and getting stronger I knew that choice had already been made for me. Im nning to keep climbing the tower. Whatever it happens to be, its an enticing ce for me. And thats why I wanted to see you today. ? I dont have too much time left before having to return so Ill be direct. I need an organization. What do you mean by Something that would help me go in and out of dungeons while still climbing the tower. I was wondering if you knew of any guilds or had connections that would agree to my terms. She quieted down after hearing my request. I couldnt help but be disappointed after seeing her pause to think. Was it too much? I thought I had more expectations of this meeting than Id realized. Hunter association hunters have no choice but to respond to emergencies, but guilds are different. Guilds are fantastic ces where you can add as many arbitrary conditions as youd like. I wanted to ask Lee Hayeon if she could introduce me to a guild that may agree to my conditions but Looking at her reaction, that might not be possible. What can I do? It was then. So what you want is to be able to freely enter dungeons as well as the tower? She continued. I think I can assist with that. Can you refer me to a guild? Hmm, something like that. ? Im currently the leader of the Challenger Supervision team at the White Silver guild. The challenger supervision team? Our goal is to recruit the challengers that have been summoned to the Tower of Trials. A challenger supervision team. They already made something like that I hadnt expected that. Even the hunter association hadnt figured out what they should be doing with the challengers as of now No, maybe this makes the most sense. This would be the prime time to recruit challengers since the association hasnt figured out a good way to do so. If you join my team, Ill be able to fulfill most of your conditions. Although Im not sure what I can do about money What shall I do? I didnt really care about the money. Id already made 1.2 million from selling that gate. Plus, if I needed any more, I could sell some items from the tower. So The conditions theyre willing to fulfill will make or break this deal. To what point would they amodate me and if Id be regretting itter. And if neither requirements are met Id stop trying and just go back to climbing the tower. No matter what happened, Ill be able to prove my worth sooner orter. I just dont like waiting too much. Lee Hayeon carefully asked me the question as she sat down and stared at me. What do you think? I Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Magic phone switches between buzzing and dinging dont ask me why Also she really masked her Why didnt you respond to me question really well -Bin Lee is back! Let the MC have a friend!! -DVN-L Chapter 48: Contract (3) Chapter 48: Contract (3) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C DVN-L ] I think well have to work out the details before I can make a decision. I felt like the Challenger Supervision team was the right ce for me to go to. We seemed to share a simr set of goals. It was also in my best interest to get this done as soon as possible. That way Id be able to use all the dungeons Id need once Ie backter She seemed to understand that very well. Of course Then can you tell me some of your demands? Demands Well first, Id like the authority to refuse any call-to-actions from the guild. Anything else? That the guild wont interfere with any of my activities within the tower, and that I would have ess to all of the guilds dungeons. Hmmm Being able to refuse calls tos and not being interfered with is something I can do on my end as the team leader. But But? I dont have the authority to give you ess to our dungeons. Of course, youll easily get the permission if you have the performance to back up your skills Ah, and a team leaders word wont cut it for something like that. I understood. It meant that only a select minority could reap the benefits of the guilds dungeons. Ideally, a promising young prospect. But If I can prove that I have the skills to use the dungeons, it would be a different story. Youre more knowledgable than I thought. Yes, youre right. How about my other two conditions? Consider it done. The challenger supervision team was created to support challengers like you. Hmm, the deal sounded better than I thought. I thought I might have been asking for too much Maybe it was because of our brief encounter in the tower, but she seemed to be really amodating towards me. Like shed try everything in her power to get me whatever I wanted. I guess that shifted my mind towards joining her team. If you can give me an opportunity to prove myself for dungeon ess, Ill join your team. She beamed in surprise. Really? Ill have to look over the written contract, but yes. This was a calcted decision that I made by weighing all the pros and cons, but Lee Hayeon didnt seem to think so. You wont regret this. She sounded genuinely touched by my decision. As soon as the contract is signed, can you schedule an expedition for me to prove my performance? You dont have to worry about that. Ill get a gate for you in no time. Satisfied, I let out anotherugh. This is going better than I thought. Is it because I achieved almost everything I set out to do in just one day? The second return felt much more fruitful than the first already. *** The next day, I went to the cafe where we promised to meet. Ideally, I would have preferred yesterday but I shouldnt be too greedy. Lee Hayeon probably had her own things to do during the time shes back, and finding me a gate within a day wouldnt have been easy. Typically, they tended to take much longer. The only reason she was able to do so was that she held a leadership position in her guild. I knew that time was precious, but I wasnt the only one who thought so. I still had some time left before I had to go back, so there wasnt a need to rush her. Plus, yesterday was so productive that I felt like I had some wiggle room. I sat there waiting for a while before someone finally walked in. Di-ring The woman slicked her bangs behind her ear to reveal herself as Lee Hayeon. She looked around to find me sitting at a table. Did you, by chance, wait for me? Eh, just a little bit. I had more time than I thought. And I thought I was early Sorry for the wait. No need for that. I see that you were quite busy. It wasnt an exaggeration. No offense, but she looked terrible. Her eye bags were down to her cheeks and her hair was still wet from not drying it properly. Haha Does it look like that? I might have stretched myself a little too thin. She let out a bitterugh as she took out a folder from her bag. Take a look. I wrote it upst night. The one next to it is our typical contract just forparison. I opened up my contract and started reading. Flip, flip Wow, what the? The terms of the contract were eye-opening. The base sry is $500,000, and everything I find in the dungeons would be my property. I told her I didnt care that much about the money, but she probably still negotiated up anyway. Most hunters sold cores or whatever they tended to find in the dungeons through their guilds. Because of that, its be standard practice for guilds to take a percentage of all loot in the dungeons But this contract had no mentions of that. Frankly, this contract was unbelievable. Can refuse any summons by the guild and the guild cannot interfere in any activities within the tower Every single one of my conditions was met. I was beyond satisfied, to the point of doubting if this was a real contract or not. Most importantly, the provision about getting dungeon ess was included. If I can clear a C-rank dungeon by myself, I should be able to freely use all of the guilds dungeons? That means The dungeon Lee Hayeon prepared for me is at least a C-rank. Id been wanting to go into a higher-ranked dungeon. Nice. After looking over the document, I turned to Lee Hayeon and smiled. There doesnt seem to be a problem with the contract. Im d. It makes my hard work feel worthwhile. She seemed proud of herself as she asked a follow-up question. By the way, do you have a hunter-license? If not, I can get you a temporary entrance pass No, I have one. I got registered thest time I came back. Perfect. Its currently hard to get one because the association has their eyes out for any challengers they could find. I knew that this woulde in handy. Nothing bad ever came out of being early. I signed my name onto the contract and looked back up at her. Since the contract has been finalized, can we go to the testing dungeon now? Of course. Well be going to a recently formed C-rank gate in the area. Alright. Ill be there as an observer. Do you mind? Not at all. I got up from my seat and gave her a faint smile. This will probably be myst excursion. My second return was alreadying to an end. *** *** Uijeongbu Nogyang-dong, Chunbo Mountain. Were finally here. We didnt go far before getting out of the car. I got off from the passenger side and put my equipment back on. A gate in the middle of a mountain It was a little strange but I decided to not pay attention. Did these temporary gates even count as actual gates? There were a couple of people standing guard near the gates. Of course Ah, youre team leader Lee Hayeon. Please continue. There was no problem getting through. Step, step Oh, I have to tell you this before we go in ? Unless something special happens, I wont be assisting you. Youre just here to observe and nothing else. Yeah. It would be a problem if I helped and the guild doesnt ept this as proof of potential. I dont mind. Its not like Id ever received help to get to this point. Lee Hayeon should know that better than me. I know. She nodded her head and continued to exin. The test begins as soon as you get in. Its a temporary gate so well be killing the boss beforeing out. I didnt think I needed to hear anything else. There was nothing special. Okay. It didnt change the fact that all I had to do was kill everything in my way. *** Vooom! Grassy hills greeted me as I stepped through the gate. Hm. This could be a problemter on. In an open field like this, monsters tended toe at you from every direction. That meant the fight could evolve into a full-out brawl soon A bit more difficult if I have to do that while protecting someone behind me. Even if she was just an observer, it didnt exempt her from being one of the targets. And knowing her strengths, this wasnt a good environment for her either. She noticed my eyes shifting and addressed my unspoken concerns. Dont worry about me. I have an artifact that the guild gave me. It automatically protects me from attacks. She showed me a ne embedded with a cerulean gem. So I wouldnt have to Protect me at all. Its an A-ss item called Empress ne. and it can absorb a decent amount of impact. It also has a slight concealment effect. Thats good news. I can fight without having to worry. Ah, and Ill also be staying far away because taking aggro for you could count as helping. It was then Kieeeeek! I shifted my attention to what sounded like nails scraping down a chalkboard. Ooh I turned to see a turtle emitting a ck fire from its mouth. Is that a starving me demon? They were a violent breed that some even called the small devil. Unlike their turtle-like appearance, they were very agile and emitted a powerful me breath. Also, they were typically so sturdy that hunters tended to avoid them, but Now theyre just souls to be consumed by my necromancy. It was time to get stronger again. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! MC: Nothing bad ever came out of being early. Have you watched something called the squid games Chapter 49: Administrator (1) Chapter 49: Administrator (1) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C DVN-L ] The starving me demons. Some say that theyre monsters who climbed their way up from hell And some say that this bulky little demon was created only to eat flesh. Those people arent entirely wrong. These little guys are primarily found in C-rank dungeons, but a hunter of equal rank would have trouble even surviving against them. Theyre a cause for a lot of PTSD in the huntermunity. Everyone whos encountered one all says this: If you ever find yourself in a me demons nest, dont expect good things to happen. Their shells are too tough for an average de to slice through And the ck mes surrounding them were a bad omen amongst hunters. Theyre fast up close, and breathe fire from afar. That is the starving me demon. However Craaaaaaat! K-kieeek!? Those monsters were being massacred by a single person. You couldnt even follow the path of the de with the bare eye. Tzzzzt! Activating Thunder de (C)s effect electrocute. The targeted enemy is electrified. The only thing you could see was a bright sh from the leftover courses and the dyed realization that they were already dead. One, two, three You have absorbed the souls of the starving me demons. Proficiency increased by 9.6% Lee Hayeon was astonished to see three of the little devils go instantly. No way This wasnt a disy that an amateur hunter could pull off. As one of the elite support hunters of Korea, Lee Hayeon was certain. This isnt normal The man in front of her was far beyondprehension. Like a monster ughtering more monsters? Theyre not bad. From the unobtrusive look on Han Sungyeuns face, she could tell that he was also not in his right mind. This is what a hard-mode challenger can do. Her expectations were beyond shattered as she saw his inhuman strength slice the monsters shells in two. I knew I was right It wasnt a mistake to do everything in her power to get him the best contract that this guild had ever seen. She would have been satisfied to even keep a friendly rtionship with this monster of a man. Hes going to grow stronger. I have no doubt about it. He was someone who had decided to keep climbing the tower. Someone like that would break through their limits to go even further beyond. Lee Hayeons eyes sparkled as they stayed glued to every move that Han Sungyeun made. It was the first time in a while that she felt her blood boiling. Almost a nostalgic feeling of when she first started as a hunter. And the sight of Han Sungyeun tearing through everything in his path Wow It was enough to light a fire in her heart again. *** aat! Phew I breathed out a singrugh as I killed my fifth me demon. You have absorbed the soul of the starving me demon. Proficiency increased by 3.2% Living up to their reputation, these little monsters gave a decent amount of proficiency. Theyre so much more efficientpared to the lizardmen. Considering that they increased my proficiency by 3.2%, they were probably going to give me a modest stat boost. Their hard outer shell will be good nourishment for my tenacity stat. Its been a while since I had a worthwhile hunt like this. The sight of their corpses delighted my little heart and I opened my stat window. Just to check up on my innate ability. Innate ability C Necromancy (D) Proficiency C 49.8% Its already pretty high The tower was a good ce to grow, but I shouldnt have underestimated Earth so much. Having ess to an appropriate dungeon could be really helpful. Are those all the starving me demons in the area? It seemed that way. I closed the window and walked over to Lee Hayeon. I think thats it for this area. Lets loot the corpses and move on. But Miss Lee Hayeon? She was out of it. What is it? Is she surprised I killed them so quick? I mean, they werent called little devils for no reason. But rather than surprised, she looked more like her soul left her body. I was wondering what else I should do to wake her when Huh? Yeah We should keep going. She finally snapped back to reality and answered my question. Then she continued by taking out a small leather pouch. Dimensional Pouch Grade: C- A synthetic pouch that is the amalgamation of modern mana-engineering. Can hold up to 500kg of material. Cannot hold anything thats alive. A dimensional pouch Infamously hard to obtain. The guild provided one. This should be enough to collect the corpses. She passed the pouch to me after exining. I was going to leave the corpses after extracting the core but Okay, lets just collect the corpses whole. We could afford that luxury with the capacity of this pouch. Its not as useful as my inventory, but its still not bad. The inventory was a personal dimension that only I could ess, but this was an item that anyone could. Alright, we got all the corpses, so lets keep moving. I gripped the handle of my sword and lead the way. I know its a hill area, but all dungeons have an end. Of course, the dungeon didnt tell you where to go like the tower did but I could find something like that myself. Is it that way? I used my mana circuit to detect the area with the densest mana and walked in that direction. Mostly because boss rooms tended to be wherever the highest mana density area was. And Kieeeek! They didnt disappoint. As soon as I got over the current hill, more starving me demons came running at me. Of course, I weed them with a warm smile. *** *** Taaaang-! Zzzzrt-! Spaaat-! Proficiency increased by 3.2% Proficiency increased Proficien And soon enough. Reached the limit for the number of souls you can possess. Number of souls in possession C 30/30 I was nning to wait until dungeon clear before I absorbed them but Oh well. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls in possession. Strength increased by 4. Agility increased by 3. Stamina increased by 4. Mana increased by 6. Tenacity increased by 7. I absorbed all of the souls, but I didnt get to absorb any of the skills this time. The sess rate should have been pretty high since I had a bunch of them, but it still failed. Hmm, was I too greedy to expect two at once? It was a bit of a letdown, but the ship had already sailed. Slightly disappointed, I started to move again. ? I turned my head to where the mana was most highly concentrated and saw a crimson portal. It was a portal I had seen before. The boss room? I didnt expect it to be this quick but I think thats the boss room, what do you want to do? I didnt even have to think about that. Lets go in and clear the dungeon as nned. *** Once again, I collected all of the corpses and headed to the portal. If this was a temporary gate, I should be clearing this as soon as possible. Unlike a persistent gate, temporary gates could cause dungeon breaks if left alone for too long. I cant let that happen. No matter how important my growth was, I didnt want to unintentionally cause a dungeon break. Especially because it could cause harm to other people. Voom! The entirety of the dungeon changed as soon as I entered the room. Not only did the hills turn into a humid cave The mana The mana was so dense that it felt like the surrounding mana could condensate into a sticky extract and drip down my body. Anyway, it wasnt a good feeling. I dont see the boss Slightly unpleasant, but nothing I could do about it. I dont see any enemies so be careful. Ah, yes. I will. I told Lee Hayeon to be cautious and got ready for battle. It was then Activating skill Minds Eye. ? I had forgotten about this skill until now. Isnt this the skill I absorbed from the lizard king? Its an active skill that only activates during battle I guess just getting ready for battle was enough to trigger it. What a unique mechanism. As I admired the strange skill. !? The minds eye skill alerted me to an unidentified projectileing towards my head I took a step back and I couldnt help but drop my jaw at what was on the ceiling. KWAAAAANG! What the! A humongous fireball appeared out of nowhere and created an impact as it hit the cave floor. Because I dodged it, all I felt was a heatwave But if I got hit? Chills crawled down my spine to think of what could have happened if I hadnt dodged that. Especially because I didnt even have any souls left for protection. A-are you alright!? I heard Lee Hayeons concerned voice through the smoke, but I didnt have the time to respond. Kieeeek? An azure starving me demon was rummaging around the ceiling of the cave. Two of its legs were connected to the ceiling and had almost no presence. It had a very different lookpared to the typical starving me demon covered with ck mes. The boss monster Hence, this monster was on an entirely different level from a normal starving me demon. The m-monster Ceiling!? Lee Hayeon finally took notice and was visibly shaken up. This is an irregr boss! I know. A boss of this level wouldnt appear in a C-rank dungeon. Just knowing theories about dungeons were more than enough for me to realize that fact. Should I use a buff skill? We can always do a skill test again! No, theres no need for that. Yes, I would admit to being startled. But the only reason that was dangerous was that he sneaked up on me. I just need a minute. Wait here. Excuse me? Youre nning to take that alo I didnt stay to listen to her finish her thought. Instant eleration. [ Activating the skill Instant eleration. Tripleceration. [ Activating the skill Triple Laceration. I began pouring my mana into these skills using my new circuits. The two skills were the most powerful skills in my arsenal. With the addition of the mana circuits, most monsters wouldntst a hit against me. But Winds blessing. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 70%. Number of stacks C 7/7 Due to reaching the maximum number of stacks, a cooldown has been ced on the skill Winds Blessing. I didnt skimp on my skills. And when I propelled myself forward Due to Boots of Swiftness (C+)s effect, your eleration is momentarily increased. SLAAAAAAAASH! The dungeon boss Blue Starving me Demon has died. The boss will not appear again. The dungeon will be expunged in 3 hours. The boss on the ceiling split in two and rained down its guts on me. Plop I told you. Covered in the raining intestines, I turned towards my observer. That it wouldnt take long. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! PLUSSSS ULTRAAAAAA Sorry im a weeb Chapter 50: Administrator (2) Chapter 50: Administrator (2) [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C DVN-L ] The dungeon boss Blue Starving me Demon has died. The boss will not appear again. The dungeon will be expunged in 3 hours. I wiped the blood off my face while reading the messages. I was covered from head to toe, but that was the best I could do for now. Damn it, why did I leave the cleansing stone at home The battle was unexpectedly more messy than I thought it would be. Although I guess I should be satisfied that it ended without a hitch. If I didnt have the Minds Eye, the oue could have been very different. I couldnt let my guard down just because I had a regeneration skill. If the monster that had snuck up on me was from the tower I would have been gravely injured. No matter what happened, I needed to review what had just happened and learn from it. I walked over to the boss corpse and absorbed its soul. You have absorbed the soul of the azure starving me demon. Proficiency increased by 22% Then I collected the rest of the corpse into the dimensional pouch. Is that it? I didnt think there was anything left to do now that the dungeon was expunging soon. But While I was busy cleaning up my mess, Lee Hayeon stood still. Staring into space as if shed just seen a ghost What the hell I shot her a perplexed gaze as she stood there muttering to herself. Shed been like this for a while All of her reactions felt so exaggerated. She must have seen something simr while she climbed to the 8th floor But the problem was that I didnt think she was faking it. Why? I thought about it for a moment but decided to satisfy my curiosity. Arent most challengers on the hard difficulty at this level? The person whod answer all my questions was right in front of me. No, even in the hard difficulty, there are only a handful of people whod be capable of something like this. I know the individual trials are personalized but arent they all around this level? Are you kidding me? Im serious. She hesitated for a moment before answering. The only people who could replicate what you did here would be fighting for the top spot in the rankings. Really? I dont know about that The tower wasnt a logical ce. On the surface, it looks like it has a friendly user interface that lets you choose your difficulty level. But in its essence, the tower challenges us. You have to ovee its trials and take on the risk. Those who cant, die, but those who do, get stronger. Thats what Id learned in the past couple of weeks. And only those who do can reap the sweet fruits that the tower provides. So it was strange to me that what I could do was an outlier in Lee Hayeuns eyes. Still confused, I stayed quiet. Not everyone has the same trials even within the hard difficulty. I know. I figured that out a while ago from people talking in themunity. And people who dont do well on their trials dont get great rewards. Yeah, they probably miss out on all the bonus rewards. But even then, those people still survive. Thats not a coincidence. ? Once you dont perform well in a trial, your difficulty level adjusts. What do you The information should be pretty urate since we learned it from interviewing other challengers. She continued to exin. So basically In essence, this is what she said. In the easy difficulty, challengers who cleared their trials with outstanding performance tended to struggle with subsequent trials And people who struggled to clear the objective said their trials became progressively easier to clear. Plus, the contents of the trial itself started to change depending on the person. Thats what happened to me. My trials started out as battles butter became more focused around exploring and finding my way out of abyrinth. Hmm On the other hand, if you perform well, the trials would get harder and tend towards battles. But your rewards would be better. There hasnt been a case like that from the easy difficulty mode challengers but that should be the case. That probably meant my difficulty had been increasing because of my performance in previous trials. That wasnt all bad though. It just meant that Id have an easier time getting stronger. What you just demonstrated should only be possible by the top 50 rankers and the more trials you go through, the stronger youll get. Youre one of the few people who are voluntarily climbing the tower. Most people bought the permanent return stone and left the tower. I nodded my head. I see. Of course, it will be that much more dangerous. So please be careful. ? I want to stay by your side to see how much stronger youd get. She smiled with a blush. Im rooting for you, not as your contractor, but as a fellow hunter. I think I know what youre worried about. But dont worry. I knew the type of people who were left in the tower. And I was just like them. We arent that different. I guess thats a relief. Now lets get going. The dungeon is going to expunge soon. I nodded and followed her out of the boss room. That was how my second day back ended. *** *** Afterpleting the dungeon I spent my dayzing around. The Hunter Association has announced the Tower of Trials as a disaster that Tower of Trials, what is it? A turning point for everyday civilians? There are currently many easy and normal difficulty level challengers being confirmed There was still some to be dug up. And Bank ount C $1,232,630 Its real All the money I made since I came back was already deposited into my ount. Its more than I thought. Even without the gate, just selling the cores was pretty profitable. Plus, if I kept working as a hunter, Id be making much more than this. But Im not gonna stop here. It would be foolish to throw away an opportunity to get even stronger. And then ? Bzzzt! The phone I left at the side of my desk started buzzing. There was only one person who would be texting me. Lee Hayeon. My prediction was spot on. All the necessary paper was has been processed. You can now use any White Silver guilds dungeons at your discretion. Ooh. Finally, some good news. Now I wont have to figure out what I have to do every time Ie back. I sent her a thank you text with a little addition that Id be going back to the tower soon. Ill be waiting, so text me any time youre back. I didnt n on making her wait too long anyway. The time limit for starting trials was now gone. Which meant that I could go in any time I wanted. And I wasnt nning on taking breaks. Once I feel that I cant keep climbing with my abilities, Ille back. I doubt that should take long though. Of course Ill think about thatter. Returning to the tower of trials in 5 minutes. I slowly got up and started packing all the things I needed to take back with me. I put on all my equipment again and waited for the count to hit Time up. Returning to the tower. My surrounding changed immediately. Within the blink of an eye, I was back in my eerily familiar waiting area. Its not as bad the second time. Without a second to spare. Trial. Do you ept the 8th floor trial? Before I epted, I decided to examine my equipment one more time. This should be enough for the 8th trial. Especially because I got a lot stronger from the dungeons. I proceeded to click ept. But then As I expected a portal to appear Please select a divergence. Narrative Battle Strategy ? Without warning, I was told to choose between these three divergences. What? They did say that a divergence system was being formed. It was one of the 8th floor system expansions. This time, there wasnt a lot to contemte. Youve selected the battle divergence. Probably best for necromancy. All of challenger Han Sungyeuns trials will now be battle focused. Once chosen, a divergence cannot be altered. I didnt think Id ever need to. I just wanted to check on my new skills. But then again Challenger Han Sungyeun possesses the qualifications of a pioneer. Something was off. ? More messages kept popping up. Starting a meeting with an administrator. Searching for a suitable battle divergent administrator Administrator? Id definitely had an encounter with them when I first entered the tower. But meeting one face to face was something I never even dreamed of. A meeting with one of the entities who manage the tower Searchplete. Starting a meeting with a battle divergent administrator Iron-blooded Monarch. ] Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! *Looks at his bank ount* God I wish that were me Chapter 51: Administrator (3) Chapter 51: Administrator (3)REAPER SCANS [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C DVN-L ] After the message about the meeting disappeared You have entered the Iron-blooded World. My surroundings changed before even giving me time to process the message I had just read. Like before, my waiting area had suddenly switched into a foreign location. I was confused for a moment but I gained myposure and began to look around. A cave, in, field, desert, sea Id seen all sorts of stages up to this point, but there was something incongruous about this ce. I stood in a snow-filled yard among white swords thrust haphazardly into the ground. It looked like a battlefield where a battle had never taken ce. Of course, those werent the only things in sight. There was a log cabin beyond the yard but Should I go in? I was hesitant to go in since there was no guarantee that I would be safe there. But I cant just sit here and do nothing I was unsure of what to do, but it suddenly hit me that there was one skill that might be useful here. Eye of Truth. Activating the skill Eye of Truth. The Eye of Truth targets whatever Im focusing on at the moment. Its something I learned from using it a couple of times. So if my focus is on the entirety of this location Iron-blooded World Grade: ? A special area where the administrator, Iron-blooded Monarch, resides. Can only be entered with her invitation. I can extract information like this as well. Iron-blooded Monarch The skill referred to her as her, so they seemed to be gendered. Of course, the description wasnt very helpful, so I couldnt extrapte anything more. But I think I had an idea of where I was. The ce where the administrator resides As it finally hit me that I might meet an admin face to face Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is displeased by someones probing. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch wants you to stop wasting time ande in already. A message I had never seen before urged me to go inside. Can admins express themselves through messages? She was even able to tell that I activated my skill. Being able to detect something like that without even being in sight It served to show how powerful these administrators were. Id be dead if she wanted to kill me. So I made my way to the cabin. Step, step I walked past the dozens of swords nted in the snowy field and arrived at my destination. I proceeded to grab the handle on the door and let out a big breath. Phew No need to be nervous. The tower said this was just a meeting. That meant this wouldnt be a situation that could endanger me. I slowed down my heart and finally opened the door. And Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch stares at you. Its about time. I was greeted by a cold but beautiful voice Wee pioneer. I looked in the direction of the voice and found myself staring at a silver-haired woman sitting at a wooden table. I am the administrator youve been selected to meet with, the Iron-blooded Monarch. *** [ Trantor C Bin ] [ Proofreader C DVN-L ] *** I swallowed my words as I stared at the woman in front of me. The woman wearing a snow-white long coat smiled at me as if this was amusing to her. Shes a beautiful foreign woman on the surface But in reality, she was an entity that controlled this tower. I couldnt help but be nervous. It was then Hmmmm Her red eyes probed me slowly and she let out a smirk. Interesting. So you were the pioneer hunter. ? I was wondering what kind of monster you were, but you look quite normal. I red at her to protest the sudden judgment of my appearance. Do you know me? Still sitting on the table, she crossed her legs and answered my question. Of course. You proved yourself worthy on the 4th floor. Id need to live under a rock to not know about your ostentatious debut. My performance on the 4th floor seemed to have garnered some attention. Maybe? Have you been watching my trials this entire time? I knew from the leaderboard. Its not possible to spectate challengers below the 8th floor. ? You seem to be misunderstanding something here. Administrators arent god-like beings. We also dont control anything that happens in the tower. What do you mea Its more urate to say that those who are bound to the tower be administrators. So dont be nervous. As long as Im bound to the tower, I wont be able to hurt you. She said all this as if she knew that I was nervous. Well, logistics aside this meeting is a perk given only to pioneers. Ask me anything you are curious about. I didnt exactly understand everything but I got the basic idea. Administrators werent all-powerful, and they were just bound to the tower. And I guess she has no intentions of hurting me? I didnt sense any animosity at all. Maybe even to the point of being friendly. When I realized this, I didnt hold back. Can you tell me exactly what this is? The finger twirling her silver hair stopped moving and she smiled smugly. You adapt pretty fast. I mean, I guess thats how you survived. As I said, the consultation is a perk given to pioneers. You may ask administrators questions without explicitly using your questions. Is that it? Well, there are a few more advantages. One is being able to meet an administrator face-to-face, and you can end up getting another perk from the administrator. Might as well make the most of this then. Then can you tell me what a challenger from another world is? Did you already run into that? Youve had quite the experience. She scowled her brows as if she knew something. I narrowed my eyes and continued with the question. I almost died to one on the 5th trial. And yet youre still alive I guess youre resilient to misfortunes. Well, its not really that big of a secret. Looking pleasantly surprised, she opened her mouth. You probably found out from the guy you met but The Tower of Trials isnt just in this world. Other worlds have the same tower, and the challenger you met is from one of them. She said it like it was no big deal, but it wasnt news to be taken lightly. I guess other worlds do exist And those worlds also have towers with challengers just like us. It was difficult to ept but the existence of the tower wasnt logical, to begin with. But I had a follow-up question. Then why did hee to me? Shouldnt he have been able to intrude on someone from his own world? Yeah, but he chose toe to a different world for a reason. She continued with a light smile. And that reason is that once you go to a different world, you can steal that floors rewards. What the Not only that, they can get an even better reward than the one originally promised to you. Those challengerse from a world where the tower has existed for decades. That also means theyre all knowledgable about the immense rewards that the tower provides. And thats not all. ? This worlds tower will merge with those of other worlds. What does that mean? Its as I said. After the 20th floor, trials will tend towards group challenges, rather than individual, and you will meet with challengers from another world. And they determined that killing challengers from a primitive dimension like Earth would be beneficial in future trials. The only thing I could do after hearing that was sigh. Ill bepeting against other worlds challengers after the 20th floor It was definitely an idea easier to wrap my head around since I had already met one on the 5th floor. You dont look too shocked. Doesnt thise to you as a surprise? I swayed my head. No, Im stunned. I am shocked at the concept of other worlds and Im dismayed about the fact that Ill have to face challengers from themter on. You dont seem surprised. What am I supposed to do about it? I have to ept it and prepare for it. Hmmm I guess you can think of it like that. I see. She looked at me like an exotic animal, but thats how I really felt. It wasnt like anything else that had happened made sense to me. Are you satisfied now? I have onest question. Another question I had for a while. What exactly is the tower? While climbing, I got used to receiving all kinds of rewards from the tower but That was one question I couldnt erase. Hmm And whats at the end of the tower? Thats something I cant tell you. I thought you were bound to the tower. How can you not know something like that? Its entirely possible. Seeing that Im also rtively a neer to the tower. Huh? Administrators were all once challengers as well. She continued to exin. At one point, I climbed above and beyond the 20th floor but I still couldnt reach the top of the tower. No, not just me all administrators died before reaching the top of the tower. Thats how you be an administrator. This was the summary of her exnation. After reaching the 40th floor, challengers gained the ability to be resurrected as an administrator after death. For your information, I reached the 47th floor. And I lost on pure dumb luck. I went against an opponent that countered me in every way. She stared at me as if to ask if I finally understood And I couldnt help but nod at her gaze. Which is why I cant answer your question. The only things Im allowed to talk about are my own experiences from when I was alive. That was the extent to which I could answer your question. There wasnt anything else I was curious about. I couldnt believe the true nature of administrators Well, its about time we end the consultation. It was time to go back to the waiting area. But theres something I want to offer you. An offer? Yes, administrators may be bound to the tower, but there are still various things we can do. Her crimson eyes gleamed as she spoke. Challenger Han Sungyeun, I offer you a discipleship. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! She sure smiles a lot Also so much has been revealed in this chap hype hype Chapter 52: Administrator (4) Chapter 52: Administrator (4) Chapter 52: Administrator (4) A discipleship? I stared nkly at the Monarch. She then smiled as she finally started to exin what she meant. Administrators are bound to the tower but that doesnt mean we cant provide anything. Does that mean you get extra perks? Its a little ambiguous but yes, I guess theyre perks. Theres a couple of them, and discipleship is the most relevant to challengers. When you say discipleship, is it a subordination contract? When she was how taken aback I was by the idea, she swayed her head. A discipleship is just how challengers can receive sponsorship from administrators. Sponsorship And when the challenger grows stronger and climbs higher, the sponsoring administrator receives perks from the tower. Is that it? Are there any other conditions? I dont know about on our end, but theres nothing really on the challengers end. Although, there is one condition that were both subject to. ? Once the contract isplete, neither the challenger nor the administrator can form discipleship contracts with anyone else. Thats all? Yes. It made sense. The tower probably had a reason for the meetings with the admins. Everything she said didnt seem made up, and she seemed to be telling the truth. There was a chance she was trying to trick me, but it didnt seem likely. Rather than a trick, this felt more like yet another attempt from the tower to strengthen the challengers. I had my suspicions, but not to the point of disbelief. But I still had to make sure that this wasnt an borate illusion. First of all, can you tell me what exactly is this sponsorship? Once you finalize the contract, you can unlock something called an exclusive marketce where you can purchase special skills or powers. And? I can sponsor the special points that are used as the currency in that store and you can also get these points every time you clear a trial. Hmmm I guess there might be a couple of details I missed but Thats about it. Discipleship with other administrators wouldnt be any different either. I see I stood still thinking about the consequences of my decision. Would there be any problems that might ariseter? Plus Am I on the losing end of this deal somehow? I thought about it, but it didnt seem like there was a way for me to lose anything. And the tower always rewarded risks. The meeting with the administrator was supposed to be a reward. This shouldnt harm me in any way. Aftering to a conclusion, I looked her in the eyes and started speaking. Would it be possible to meet with other administrators? No. Well, maybeter but Its basically impossible at my current state. Exactly. We sat in silence for a bit until I nodded. Ill do it. None of it seemed like a lie, and I didnt want to miss out on a perk because I was suspicious or wanted to find another administrator. That was quick. Do you trust me? You did say that you were bound to the tower. And it was a privilege for only the pioneers. Hmmmm Youre smarter than I thought. No, maybe its just your instincts? She licked her lips sensually. I cant miss out on apetent and gutsy challenger. She looked at me like she was looking at a piece of well-marbled meat for some reason, but I tried to be as stoic as possible. Are we agreeing to a contract then? Yes, from this point on, I will be your sponsor. It was then. Do you agree to enter a sponsorship contract? I clicked ept without hesitation and The contract has been officiated. The contract exclusive marketce and SP (special points) have been unlocked. You are the first party that administrator Iron-blooded Monarchs has contracted with. As the first contractee, all your stats increase by +1. Messages popped up and covered my field of vision. Is this what a contract is supposed to be After scrolling down, I even saw that each of my stats was increased by 1. She said that administrators couldnt be in contract with more than one challenger at once This probably meant that the contract bes void once the challenger dies. As I was reading the messages Confirmed that the meeting with the administrator has ended. You will soon move to the waiting room. The Iron-blooded Monarch red at the message as the tower cut our time short. Hm I guess weve run out of time. It was fun, pioneer. Ill see youter. Before I could even respond, my surroundings changed again. You have entered the 8th floor waiting room. *** Reaper Scans *** I was left with a weird sense of peculiarness as my dream-like meeting ended. The fact that Id have to fight challengers from another world after the 20th floor sounded like a fairy tale. Did I really enter a contract with an administrator? But Exclusive Marketce. Contract Exclusive Marketce SP C 1000 Category: Skills Category: Powers Category: Items Contractor: Iron-blooded Monarch Note: Administrator Iron-blooded Monarchs first contractor. I guess it wasnt a dream The reality of my meeting finally set in as I opened my new marketce. I really did get into a contract with her It was like an illusionary bubble popped and I was snapped back into reality. This was all real. The Iron-blooded Monarch, and our contract. And The fact that intruders will start invading us. She said that intruders could take our trial rewards for themselves. That meant wed start running into more and more challengers. God damn it I sighed, but switched my attention to the panel in front of me. My head was filled with thoughts about what I could go through in the future but Honestly, nothing had changed. I was set on climbing the tower. And I was prepared to face intruders along the way. Then there was no extra decision to be made. Browsing the Category: Powers tab of the exclusive marketce. First, I have to get stronger. Enough to be able to crush whatever gets in my way. Category: Powers Listing (1/3) Power: Serenity (C-) Power: Iron Soul (A+) Power: Winter King (D+) Theres not as many as I thought. Powers were one of the things that the tower gave us when we got our radiances. Well, what we got were innate powers which might be a little different but They both seemed to be powers of some sort. I thought theyd be more useful than skills but Most of the powers had a pretty low rank as well. One difference was that the innate power that I got with the radiance didnt have a rank, but these did. Is there a difference between the two? I wanted to get a look at the other options before I read any details but You currently do not possess the authority to open listing (2/3). You may browse listing (2/3) starting from the 10th floor. What the I wasnt even allowed to look through all of them. And then I finally read the notes on the bottom. (!) You may fill the power listings with administrators sponsorship or other deals. (!) Initially, the only powers you can browse are those of your contracted administrator. (!) You currently only have the authority to browse powers in listing (1/3). It looked like there were other ways to get more options in the store. What do they mean by making other deals? I was curious but didnt think about it any further. These questions and powers and whatnot They just seemed to be motivators for challengers to keep climbing the tower. The tower wanted challengers to reach new heights. That was probably why the worlds start merging after a certain point. That made sure that the winners of the trials kept climbing higher. Why? I couldntprehend it. I guess I just have to keep climbing if I want to figure it out Every once in a while, the tower tried to allure you to climb in this way. Whether you wanted to get stronger or figure out the truth Theres nothing left to do but stay optimistic. What else could I do? Before I started the 8th trial, I looked more closely at the powers. Power: Serenity (C-) Price: 1,000 SP Exnation: You are able to make a logical judgment no matter the situation. Status ailments like fear or confusion are reduced duringbat. ] Its not good or bad. It was like a higher-tier psychological resistance skill. In essence, it made you more calcting and made you more resistant to psychological status ailments It doesnt really increase my firepower. I also never experienced those types of ailments, so I didnt know if I needed it. Power: Iron Soul (A+) Price: 6,500 SP Exnation: A soul that a few cold-blooded, heartless monarchs are born with. All weapons skill proficiency increases 2.32 times faster. New weapons skills start out at 10% proficiency. Ooh Now, this was a battle-rted skill. The option for the proficiency increase was amazing but the extra 10% on all weapons skills really caught my eye. My Hunters Daggermanship skill recently reached its limit too I couldnt help but be drawn to it knowing that all new weapons skills I created would get an extra 10% proficiency. But I dont have nearly enough SP. After all, I only had 1,000 in my possession. Regrettably, I scrolled to the next power. Power: Winter King (D+) Price: 800 SP Exnation: A power found in some leaders of the north. Your stats temporarily increase in the cold and you do not take damage from the cold. Its umm? Thest one didnt seem that good either. It technically had a battle-rtedponent but It only activates in the cold? I guess its technically an immunity of some sorts, but its not widely applicable. I wasnt really drawn to it either. What should I buy It would be best to buy something right now so I wouldnt go into the next trial empty-handed. This might be my best bet I finally made my decision. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Yay more weird power things to trante Chapter 53: 8th Floor (1) Chapter 53: 8th Floor (1) Chapter 53: 8th Floor (1) Choosing one out of the three wasnt a difficult choice to make. There was only one that would be remotely useful at the moment. You have purchased Power: Serenity (C-) 1,000 SP deducted. Seeing the empty SP bnce reminded me of my past. But I would rather use it than let it sit in my ount. I thought Id have no problem clearing the 8th trial at my current state but I have to start being more careful. My meeting with the Monarch shifted my views. Status. Han Sungyeun Radiance C Conqueror ] Strength C 63 Stamina C 61 Agility C 63 Mana C 53 Tenacity C 58 Innate ability C Necromancy (D) Innate power C Skill Combination Power C Serenity (C-) Skill C See details Hm My stats were higher than I expected them to be but My focus was primarily on the power. Serenity Grade: C- You are able to make a logical judgment no matter the situation. Status ailments like fear or confusion are reduced duringbat and allow for more immersivebat.] Basically, the same exnation as I saw in the store. The only addition was the more immersivebat part. I hope its more useful than some random psychological resistance skills Id find out soon enough. Theres nothing more I could do to prepare against the intruders. And the system did mention that Id be notified when someone intruded into my challenge. As I was about to enter the trial, something hit me. I guess theres one thing that I could do. I havent scoured themunity for information just yet. You have entered themunity. Difficulty C Hard Floor 8 Community (377/521) Not quite what I had in mind but Oh? I wasnt disinterested in the topic so I stayed. Hm Lee Hayeon seemed to be struggling to find people when I was outside But it looks like the challengers were starting to find out their worth. If Lee Hayeon tried to recruit people here, shed probably get a bunch of them to sign on. But Nothing else of value here. Most of the people left were low rankers, probably because all the high rankers had already moved on. As I was about to turn it off again *** Reaper Scans *** I didnt expect this Information about pioneers and radiance was going around Are they just careless or are they doing it on purpose? One of the pioneers had to have revealed this information to someone. Well, I guess it doesnt matter as much to me I dont know about the leveling up thing and the others but Skill Combination wasnt something you could n a counter against even if you knew how it worked. Wait Maybe I can ask Lee Hayeon about somebinations other people have experimented with then. Not only that, I might be able to get more information about the other innate powers. Ill keep it in mind the next time I go back to Earth. The subject switched once again, this time about me. Huh? The constant change of topics was chaotic but Everyone there seemed ustomed to it. Thats true. Id been lurking this entire time. I was concerned that people might figure out who I was but Seeing the spections lifted a weight off my shoulder. They even thought I was the Lightning Emperor. Im just a no-name C-rank hunter right now. They wouldnt figure it out. Not unless I handed them a hint of some sort. After listening to some irrelevant conservations, I finally turned themunity off. Do you ept the 8th floor trial? And The 8th floor trial is starting. Trial sess condition C Kill the skeleton summoning lich Trial fail condition C Challengers death Trial sess reward C All stats +2 Trial fail penalty C Death Is this an endurance round? I frowned at the fragile-looking skeleton warriors. Its a bit iffy. I dont think the necromancy proficiency will increase on these weaklings I doubt theyd be useful in raising my stats. To be honest, this looked like an easy freebie. It doesnt benefit me too much though. I was talking down the trial, but there was one thing I was hoping for. Maybe necromancy would reach 20% by the end of this trial? That would be enough to increase the rank of my innate ability. Of course, this all depended on how much the skeletons give me But with these numbers, I was on the optimistic side. Well, lets go. I ran toward the skeleton army with a faint smile on my face. The 8th trial had finally started. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Chigeon is supposed to be chicken-pigeon Chapter 54: 8th Floor (2) Chapter 54: 8th Floor (2) Chapter 54: 8th Floor (2) Crack! You have absorbed the soul of the skeleton. Proficiency increased by 0.08% Its even worse than I thought. I crushed one of the skeletons in the front with my bare hands and frowned. I didnt expect it to be high but What am I supposed to do with 0.08%? Even if I killed 30 of them, that was still only 2.4%. Converting them to stat points probably wont do anything either. What should I do with them Craaack! Even while contemting, I crushed a skeleton that was running at me with my sword. Gone were the days when I struggled with mere E-rank monsters. Proficiency increased by 0.08% Proficiency increased Proficiency in I smashed through about ten of them before I started to worry. Exactly how many of these are there? Unlike the other trials, this one didnt have a time limit. The objective was to kill the lich that summoned these things but I couldnt even take a step without facing entire waves of skeletons. Then, upon realization, I used up all the souls I had just absorbed. Consuming most of the souls in possession to summon a skeleton. Number of souls in possession C 1/30 I used all but the one Blue Starving me Demon soul to summon a skeleton. In theory, I could kill all of them myself but didnt want to. Ill leave it to this guy and go look for the lich. I shoved over 10 skeleton souls into this thing. He may have not been that useful against a boss but He was perfect for situations like these. As the skeleton rose from the ground and its eyes lit up ck! My new soldier didnt hesitate and immediately headed towards the enemies. Hopefully, hests at least 1 minute against the skeletons Even if he frees up 1 minute, it should give me time to figure out the general direction of the lich. But ? I couldnt help but be baffled at the scene that yed out in front of me. What the? Tss! My minion had picked up rocks from the ground and started hurling them at the other skeletons. Huh? I was impressed at the practicality of his movements. Unlike normal skeletons that moved at the rate of orcs, mine started moving swiftly. Did it only seem useless in the dungeon because it was against the boss? After cracking the enemies bones with the first attack, then their skulls, then the spine. It was a simple yet effective method of hunting. Not bad. Zzt! Zzt! Zzt! Hes better than I thought. I guess this wasnt a radiance ability for no reason. Graawr? The other skeletons noticed that something was off and switched their aggro to my summon. I took a step back and activated a skill. Winds Blessing. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 60%. Number of stacks C 6/7 Right to the point of not triggering the cooldown I ran towards the area where the skeletons were more sparse. I said sparse, but there were still groups of tens. Quantity over quality I guess If I was anyone else, this would have been annoying. Good thing I wasnt. eleration increased for a moment due to the effects of Boots of Swiftness (C+) Whoooom! I swung my sword at the group as I approached them and Activating Thunder de (C)s effect electrocute. The targeted enemy is electrified. ZZZZZZAT! The thick streaks of electricity obliterated everything in my path. *** Reaper Scans *** I thought electrocution might not work because they were skeletons but Proficiency increased by 0.08% Proficiency increased Proficiency in The skeletons couldnt withstand the electrocution and shattered to pieces. I continued to swing my de and hunt down everything in my proximity. No, it was more like a massacre than a hunt. And about twenty innocent skeleton livester Who dares! Whos causing amotion in my sanctuary! I turned my head at the infuriated voice. Then The lich is here? Holding a matte ck book, a skeleton wearing a red robe came into my line of sight. The craziest part was that the lich was speaking to me. Never did I think that I would see a talking monster. Id only ever heard rumors about the high-tier monsters with the ability to speak. But the lich seemed to be running out of its patience. How dare a mere human enter my sanctuary! You will pay the price for this! p! As the book in its hand flipped open, two undead beings formed behind it. The sizeable undead beings had chunks of rotting fleshing off of them. About the size of a sand golem. Of course, it wasnt as big as the monstrosity I saw on the 7th trial but It didnt look any weaker than that. As if that wasnt enough, skeleton warriors rose around the undead, as if to protect them. Ooh Seeing I was impressed, the lich let out a smugugh and opened its jaw. Heheh, do you finally realize exactly whos territory you just walked into? Hmm? Maybe? Do you have any more? What? Im not mad, just disappointed. I needed more souls to rank up my necromancy. I didnt know how much these two undeads would be worth but A few more wouldnt hurt. But as expected, the lich seemed to be at its limit. You bastard I was going to provoke a couple more out of him, but I guess not. These two guardians are enough to rip your dirty mouth apart! Outraged, the lichmanded its mini-army to attack me. Graaaaaawr! Seeing the stocky undead beings take steps towards me, I also started moving. Activating the skill Instant eleration. Along with the effects of six stacks of Winds Blessing Kraaaaaang-! Proficiency increased by 1.2% Proficiency increased by 1.2% I cut through both the undead beings in a single swing. Wh-what? The lich was caught off guard, but this was the only oue. Theres no way these rotting chunks could block my de if even a dungeon boss couldnt withstand it Cracacack! Proficiency increased by 0.08% Proficiency increased by 0.08% Hmm As expected, these skeletons were useless too. The undeads arent bad though. Even though it wasnt as nice as the monsters I fought in the dungeon It was then The summoned skeleton has died. Ah I guess even that couldntst that long against the constant barrage of skeletons. No matter, I stood steps towards the lich to end it. Wh-Where did a monster like you Even without a throat, his voice was shaking. Whatever he was saying, I didnt slow my steps. Lets end this. I wanted to go back to the waiting area already. But Wait. If you thought about it, this lich was summoning monsters left and right. And that meant Cant I grind for proficiency here? Just to make sure. Hey, I have a question This guardian thing, can you summon it again? It was worth an entire 1.2%. And if I could keep hunting those I can rank up my innate ability in this trial. My eyes sparkled in anticipation as he looked taken aback. Wh-why are you asking me something like that? Doesnt matter. Just answer my question. If you dont want to As I raised up my sword and walked up to it, the lich hurriedly opened its mouth. O-okay okay! Ill tell you! S-stop walking towards me So when can you summon this guardian again? I-if its the guardian, I can summon it right now How long do you have to wait after each summoning? Uh I dont I cant remember You cant? Thats too bad. The lich hesitated to answer the question and I gripped the handle of my sword. I-I remember! I can resummon it a few minutes after the guardian dies! Then you can summon it now? Y-Yes. B, But it wont be effective against you. Doesnt matter. Summon it again. Why? Do you really have to know? He flinched at my question. N-No I dont. Shivering in its robe, the lich opened its book again to summon the undead beings. As soon as they formed, I decapitated them. Snip! Snip! In an instant, their headless bodies fell to the ground and Proficiency increased by 1.2% Proficiency increased by 1.2% Delighted, I smirk slipped onto my face. I-Is that good? He took a peek at my reaction but Not yet. I wasnt satisfied. What were the chances Id get to farm like this in the future? Im gotta get my moneys worth. I continued to order the lich around. Can you order all the skeletons toe here and summon the guardians again? As if it was used to taking orders from me, the lich nodded. O-Okay. How long do I have to do this? So I told him exactly what I was thinking. Until I tell you to stop. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Mans just made an xp farm I feel kinda bad for the lich but this is hrious Chapter 55: Skill Combination (1) Chapter 55: Skill Combination (1) The grind was just easy as I expected. While waiting for the guardians to summon, I sted through the skeletons to kill time. Proficiency increased by 0.08% Proficiency increased by 1.2% Proficiency increased by 1.2% It was simple and repetitive. Some might find this tedious but Just the fact that I was raising my proficiency so easily put a smile on my face. And that wasnt all Strength increased by 4. Agility increased by 3. Stamina increased by 5. Mana increased by 4. Tenacity increased by 5. I was also getting a decent stat boost from this. Of course, much of it was due to the Blue Starving me Demon but It was still a sizable boost. Wasnt there a saying about slow and steady wins the race? What a perfect saying for this situation. And Innate ability Necromancys proficiency reached 100%. Innate ability Necromancys ranked up. I finally got what I wanted. Finally Necromancy is C-rank now. I felt so proud of myself foring so far. Ill have to check my stats for the new ability once I get back. It was then Cr-crazy Ass B-bastard The limbless lich cried out in frustration. He had just attempted to escape, so I had to break off all of its limbs. Ive seen devils more kind than you I will curse you Even in death He had cracks all over his body now. I didnt know if it was me smashing his arms and legs or the cost of summoning guardians, but Hes probably going to die soon. I clicked my tongue regrettably. I was hoping to squeeze a little more out of it. Dying this any longer could mean missing out on his soul. Id only be able to absorb it if I killed the lich myself. It was dreadful to meet you human I hope to not see you in the afterlif Sensing death, the lich started muttering hisst words but I dont really want to hear it. So I walked up to it, mid-speech, and stabbed it in the head. You have absorbed the soul of the lich. Proficiency increased by 17.4% Kratck! Worse Than the Devil achievement unlocked. Agility increased by 1. As if to signify the end of the 8th trial, the lichs remaining bones broke down into mere shards. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 8. As a reward, all your stats have increased by +2. As a reward, you have received 30,000 points. As a reward, you have received 700 SP. As a bonus reward, you have received 300 SP. Please move to the waiting area. The 8th trial is finally over. Because there was no time limit, I stayed for as long as I could. Almost like a bonus stage in a game. All the tangled thoughts I had after meeting the Monarch organized themselves. So what if the otherworldly intruderse to take our rewards. It wasnt my problem until they came to me. All I have to do is get as strong as possible, and that hasnt changed. So Nothings changed in my ns. Moving to the waiting room. That was my conclusion. *** Reaper Scans *** You have entered the 9th floor waiting room. System expansion is starting. Administrators can now spectate your trials. Restrictions to questions have been removed. C-rank skills can now be bought in the marketce. All kinds of messages greeted me in the waiting area but There was only one thing I wanted to check. Han Sungyeun Radiance C Conqueror ] Strength C 67 Stamina C 66 Agility C 66 Mana C 63 Tenacity C 63 Innate ability C Necromancy (C) Innate power C Skill Combination Power C Serenity (C-) Skill C See details My stats increased but more importantly Innate ability C Necromancy (C) Proficiency C 0% Basic effect C Able to absorb the souls of the dead to increase or reinforce stats, mana, or something of that nature. Additional effect C Consumes stored souls to raise a nearby dead. The strength of the raised dead will be proportional to the quality and quantity of the consumed souls. Extra effect (1) C Able to permanently increase stats depending on the nature and rank of the soul. Extra effect (2) C Able to store souls forter use. Soul storage capacity depends on the abilitys rank. Extra effect (3) C Able to acquire one skill bound to a soul at a probability of 20% upon absorbing that soul. Extra effect (4) C Able to protect your body by consuming souls. The impact that can be absorbed is proportional to the souls used. Extra effect (5) C Able to inherit all absorbed skills proficiencies. The new extra effect was absolutely breathtaking. Being able to inherit proficiencies of absorbed skills. As if the ability to absorb skills wasnt broken enough, I could now automatically be proficient at it. It didnt look fancy now, but itde in handy in time. Im sure Ill keep getting more skills. And that wasnt the only change. Able to acquire one skill bound to a soul at a probability of 20% upon absorbing that soul. The certain percentage finally revealed itself. The probability is actually really high. Considering how overpowered it was, I thought it would be 10% at the most but This was insane. I guess thats it for my innate ability. After confirming that there werent any more changes, I turned my attention elsewhere. Marketce Category: Weapons Category: Defensive Category: Skill Category: General I needed new equipment to match my newly raised stats. I think I can keep using the sword, but the problem is with the shield and the skills I was barely using the shield anymore, and my Hunters Daggermanship skill had stopped developing. That meant my fighting style would be changing but What should I do? The original purpose of the shield was to protect me from unforeseen danger, and it had served its purpose. But Id grown to the point where I didnt need it anymore. And as long as I have necromancys protective effect; the shield is effectively useless. I was sad to see it go, but that was the reality. Then how should I change my fighting style? Thats the real problem. I needed a skill to rece my weapons skill too I guess I have no choice I sighed and tapped on the skill tab of the marketce. If I dont have a skill, Ill just make it. That was for the best. You have entered the skills store. Listing the avable skills for sale. Hm My face scrunched up as I scrolled down the listings. There were fewer useful skills than I thought. No, more urately, theres none that are cost-effective. Most of the skills in the marketce were absurdly expensive. Whatever the skill was, they tended to start at around 10,000 points. If you were spending them irresponsibly in the beginning, you wouldnt evene close to buying one of these I was smart to buy the bare minimum in the starting trials but Were the other challengers just as careful? I doubted it. And if you didnt get all the bonus rewards? They probably had to spend every point they had to stay alive. Well, I guess most people wouldnt even think of using the skills store Just me, who couldnt acquire skills the normal way. To most people, skills were just something you learned by repeating certain learning conditions. If you couldnt, it meant you werent built for that skill, so there was no reason to forcibly learn it. Of course I cant learn any skill, period. I stood there silently, scrolling down the listings. And Skill: General Swordsmanship (E-) Price: 25,000 points Exnation: Swordsmanship that contains the basics of all swordsmanships. You gain basic knowledge about swordsmanship and your cutting force increases by 1.5 times. This is the best for now. There were a couple of skills that were superior, but I ignored them. Because I need somethingpatible with Hunters Daggermanship if I want thebination to work well. General Swordsmanship was a skill that most de users eventually ended up learning. Meaning it waspatible with basically any other de-type skill. You have purchased General Swordsmanship. Deducting 25,000 points. Skill C General Swordsmanship (E-) Proficiency C 0% Exnation C Swordsmanship that contains the basics of all swordsmanships. Effect C You gain basic knowledge about swordsmanship and your cutting force increases by 1.5 times. It left a considerable dent in my wallet but Its not bad for what it does. Then I activated Skill Combination. Activating the innate power Skill Combination. Listing the avable skills. Please select two skills from the list. I already knew what I was going to choose. The two skills are unequal in rank. Skillbination will start with Hunters Daggermanship as the core. Is this what happens if the ranks are unequal? Current probability for a high tier skill is 75% Start thebination? Of course. I had already made the purchase after all. Then Skillbinationplete. Generating new skill. The follow-up message appeared basked in rays of golden light. That must mean I had seeded in making my new weapons skill. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Why is the necromancy proficiency at 0 if he absorbed the lich? Idk man Chapter 56: Skill Combination (2) Chapter 56: Skill Combination (2) Skill Demon yer (CC) generated. ? I stared at the generated skill in confusion. What? This skill had nothing to do with the two skills Ibined Skill C Demon yer (CC) Proficiency C 0% Exnation C A fighting style custom made by a hunter to y demons. Basic Effect C Basic information about all swordsmanship styles increases and upon using a ded weapon, cutting force increases by 3 times. However, this effect does not stack with other weapons skills. Additional Effect C Upon attacking non-humans, attack speed increases by 2 times. Demon yer Was it the influence of Hunters Daggermanship? Its like a skill thats custom-made for killing monsters. Especially that attack speed boost when you attack non-humans. More importantly, the skill was CC rank but still had a proficiency. That meant it still had room to grow. I wasnt sure how good the other innate powers were but Skillbination is pretty great, huh. This skill made up for the downsides of necromancy. Being able to harmonize the random and dissonant skills that I get from necromancy In that sense, it was the perfect partner for my innate ability. Plus, this way, I could just get rid of the skills that I wasnt using and keep the useful ones. It allowed me to grow in the way that I chose. Should I just trybining all the skills I dont use then? Thebinations hadnt failed me yet. Status. Skill C Eye of Truth (A), Triple Laceration (A-), Winds Blessing (A-), Demon yer (C-), Instant eleration (D+), Pain Resistance (D), elerated Regeneration (D), Forceful Breakthrough (D), Physical Resistance (D), Mana Circuit (D-), Mana Resistance (D-), Minds Eye (D-), Strengthened Eyes (E-) Wow, thats more than I expected. I couldnt even remember the times when I couldnt be a hunter due to myck of skills. Seeing it at once also made it clear that I wasnt making use of all of the skills. A lot of these passives arent very useful anymore. Physical Resistance and elerated Regeneration were barely doing anything anymore. Part of it was that my fighting style didnt fit well with those skills Activating the innate power Skill Combination. Listing the avable skills. Please select two skills from the list. I chose Physical Resistance and elerated Regeneration to get rid of. The two skills are identical in rank. Please select the core skill. Physical Resistances low mitigation wasnt very effective but I like that it doesnt have a trigger requirement But I didnt want to put it in as a core and end up with another physical resistance skill. Then Skillbination will start with elerated Regeneration as the core. Current probability for a high tier skill is 72% Start thebination? *** Reaper Scans *** Ooh The two skills must have synergized pretty well for them to have such a high sess percentage. But I canceled thebination and then triedbining Pain and Physical Resistances. Of course, the core was Pain Resistance. Because the core seemed to determine the nature of the skill, as well as the activation requirement. Skillbination will start with Pain Resistance as the core. Current probability for a high tier skill is 68% Start thebination? Hmm If you think about it, 68% isnt that low but The one that used elerated Regeneration was higher. It probably meant the two skills synergized much better together. Its a bit of a gamble but Well. I chose elerated Regeneration and Physical Resistance again. Like before, the core was still on elerated Regeneration. And Combinationplete. New skill generated. I selected it immediately. Skill C Steel Regeneration (C) Proficiency C 0% Exnation C A trait developed by a mutant vampire. Effect C The users regeneration increases proportionally to the users tenacity or toughness of their body. Tenacity or toughness of their body Interesting. If your regeneration goes up the tougher your body is, it means youre specialized for closebat. The skill itself was pretty respectable but not one that I weed. Well, it doesnt hurt to have and I do have the tenacity stat but Should Ibine this with something else? I didnt know. It didnt seem like a bad skill, but it was a bitcking for my taste. I wonder what will happen if I mix in the Pain Resistance to this. But if I get a garbage skill after using Pain Resistance to this I wouldnt even get my moneys worth. The only reason I did this in the first ce was to get rid of the useless skills. And if I happened to get something useless from thatbination, Id end up with one useless skill instead of three. What should I do? I considered it for a bit and came to a conclusion. No harm in just checking the percentage. If it happened to be under 70%, I wouldnt go for it. Activating the innate power Skill Combination. Listing the avable skills. Please select two skills from the list. As I selected Steel Regeneration and Pain Resistance The two skills differ in rank. Skillbination will start with Steel Regeneration as the core. Current probability for a high tier skill is 85% Start thebination? Huh? No, wait The sess rate is 85? Mesmerized by the rate, I forgot to even consider the consequences as my finger pressed the button. Combinationplete. New skill generated. Ah. Jaw dropped, I stared at the newly formed skill. Skill C Ashen Blood (B-) Proficiency C 0% Exnation C A transcendent trait developed by a mutant vampire. Effect C The users regeneration increases proportionally to the users tenacity. The regeneration is increased by threefold when inflicted bodily harm, and up to 40% of the pain is blocked depending on the damage. Jackpot. That was the only word to describe this situation. Holy shit As if the initial effect wasnt enough The additional effects were somehow even more mindblowing. Regeneration increasing by three times with pain reduction? Plus, it was only a 15% reduction when Pain Resistance was at D-rank. How did this skill bring it up to 40%? Granted, it did say the rate depended on the amount of damage but The effects ovepping was impressive enough. And seeing that the proficiency was at 0%, that meant it still had room to grow. I do have to check how fast the regeneration is though The auto-healing has been disabled. The body will retain physical stress and injuries will not heal. After turning off the healing effects of the waiting area, I tested out a couple of things for Ashen Blood. I already absorbed all of my souls, so I shouldnt have to worry about the passive acting up. As I sliced down my left arm to create a sizable cut to let it bleed out Activating the skill Ashen Blood. All pain inflicted on the user is reduced by 7% Oh I couldnt help but be impressed at the speed of the regeneration. This is even faster than when it was just elerated Regeneration! Of course, the pain resistance wasnt as effective as before, but I felt that this skill was more advanced in a variety of ways. Sktaaat! I continued to experiment by stacking the cuts into my forearms and so on. The waiting area was a safe haven where I was blessed with infinite healing. It would be foolish to not take advantage of it. Obviously, the pain was still there but Activating the skill Ashen Blood. All pain inflicted on the user is reduced by 28% Even that was being diminished. The reduction percentage goes up more easily than I expected. And thanks to my tenacity, the regeneration was pretty astounding. Ssslkt! Ugh I found out that even if my arm was halfway detached, it welded back together as long as I held it in ce I tried cutting off some fingerspletely and had no problems reattaching them. This is what I learned after a couple of experiments. That even if Ipletely cut off parts of my body, it can still heal, and that as long as I have the stamina, I can recover from multiple life-threatening injuries. Ashen Blood. It was broken beyond belief. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Bin: Op is a starfish DVN-L: MC just glosses over CUTTING HIS OWN ARM HALFWAY OFF and PURPOSELY DISMEMBERING MULTIPLE FINGERS just to experiment with a new skill. If anyone asks about the toughest/craziest MC, show them this. Chapter 57: The Murim Challenger (1) Chapter 57: The Murim Challenger (1) Ashen Bloods effect was simple. Regeneration grew proportionally with tenacity, with an additional three times multiplier at the time of injury. And up to 50% pain resistance depending on the severity of the injury. What the hell This skill was so much better than I thought. elerated Regeneration reattached my almost served arm at D-rank And Ashen Blood could automatically reattach severed limbs. What kind of bullshit is that..? If this skill was on a monster or another yer I dont even want to think about it. And if you considered the protection from necromancy, it was even more unbelievable. Absorb most of the damage with the passive then heal the rest with Ashen Blood. That would effectively render any attack useless. In other words, I could use it to turn the tide of the battle. Would I be able to beat something like this if we had simr stats? Could I even be considered human at this point? Its hard to tell now And my tenacity was only around 60 right now. What would happen if it went up? I was just nning to throw away some of the more useless skills but I somehow won the lottery. Satisfied, I turned on themunity. Just to see if the 9th trial was a group trial or not. A group trial would give me more chance to test out ashen blood. And I also wanted to know if anyone else was talking about challengers from another world. You have entered themunity. Difficulty C Hard Floor 9 Community (2315/3498) Huh..? I couldnt help but be shocked at the amount of information that everyone already knew. I thought it would take at least a couple of floors until everyone found out At least I knew that I wasnt the only one thinking about this problem. Judging by their tone, they seemed to understand the severity of the situation. And like me, they werent able toe to a meaningful conclusion. Even after a continuous conversation, they werent able to get anywhere. Seems like a reasonable call to action. Maybe theyll sponsor us with more resources. If they hear that there was a chance that otherworldly challengers could kill us at any moment. There were other things to be gained from the conversation too. They were all talking about the different challenges they ran into and I made sure to take note of them all. *** Reaper Scans *** Besides that, there were no realistic measures we could take against these guys. I guess we should be satisfied that were even aware of them. And the different types of intruders would probably be useful to know in the future. Also, the 9th trial is probably an individual trial. I was looking through the chat logs but I couldnt find a single mention of a group trial. Lets speed through the 9th floor and get to the 10th. Thats where more powers be avable in my exclusive store. And the 8th trial was pretty simple as well I then examined my equipment to see if I should rece anything. I think the sword will be useful for a bit longer because of the electrocute. And Ill just use the shield until it breaks and sell it at the hunter market. But I dont think I can sell the pendant or the boots. Theyre too useful to sell at the moment. After careful consideration, I came to a conclusion. I think I can use them more a little longer. And just in case. You have purchased a Recharngable Stamina Potion (E-). 5,000 points deducted. You have purchased a Rechargable Mana Potion (E+). 5,000 points deducted. I got some food with some potions on the side. Why rechargeable? I might as well if Im going to buy more potionster. I could still see myself using potions a couple of floorster. The effects might not be very strong, but that wasnt important. I could still replenish my stats using my souls. Rechargeable Stamina Potion Grade: E Replenishes 20% of lost stamina upon consumption. Usable twice before recharging. Takes one full day topletely recharge. Rechargeable Mana Potion Grade: E Replenishes 25% of lost mana upon consumption. Usable twice before recharging. Takes one full day topletely recharge. That should be enough potions for a while. And with the absence of the wait timer Do you ept the 9th floor trial? And a familiar blue portal greeted me as I stepped into it. Entering Tower of Trials floor 9. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is tournament. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. It didnt take long for me to recognize that I was standing under the ring sun in the center of a colosseum. The 9th floor trial is starting. Remaining time C 1 day Trial sess condition C Kill all monsters in the colosseum Trial fail condition C Time out or challengers death Trial sess reward C Skill Beasts Instincts (C-) Trial fail penalty C Death I didnt have an audience but I was going to have to fight off a bunch of monsters. But (!) Current challenger Han Sungyeuns 9th trial is not safe. (!) Murim challengers intrusion has been confirmed. (!) Murim challenger has stolen the trial objective. I didnt expect such a sharp aroma of blood everywhere. The tethers of flesh on the ground were connected by a river of blood leading up to the corpses of three trolls. Recalibrating objective. And Youve finally arrived. I saw an old man standing next to the stacked corpses. Wearing a white gi and holding a white sword He looked out of ce in the bloody arena. Nice to meet you. I knew at first nce. An intruder He gave off different energy from the ck knight, but I was certain. My name is Baek Sunhak, an elder at the Murim Alliance. As the old manbed through his beard and introduced himself Kill the Murim challenger Baek Sunhak. Looking at the message, I gripped the sword tightly. Damn it It was my second one. Trantors notes C Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Old man with beard is always the most op Chapter 58: The Murim Challenger (2) Chapter 58: The Murim Challenger (2) My brows knitted as I stared at the poised old man. Not only did he steal my objective, but I could tell that he was strong. After spending so much time in this damned tower, I started being able to feel these things. Whos strong and whos weak. And the man who called himself Baek Sunhak was part of the former group. Fuck. It felt like I was standing in front of an immovable mountain. I had a bad feeling about this But to face an intruder right at the cusp of the 10th floor I got myself into a defensive stance to prepare for the impending battle. Whatever the situation was before, my objective now was to fight this man. I have no choice. I had to kill the old man standing in front of me. It was then Young man, what is your name? Out of nowhere, the man put on a warm smile and asked for my name. What? Is he just a self-obsessed narcissist like the ck knight? But he gave off apletely different impression. He didn''t seem to be taunting me or letting his guard down. As if it wasmon etiquette to ask for my name. And because I stood there staring at him, without uttering a word Even if we die, shouldn''t we at least know our opponents names? The old man asked as if he genuinely didn''t understand my actions. It caught me off guard, but it didnt seem to be a trap. I dont think hes up to anything but I took a step back to gain some distance before finally speaking up. At this distance, I should be able to block or dodge anything he could throw at me. Dont let your guard down. He might have something hidden up his sleeve like the aura thing that the ck knight used. Why are you asking me that? Hm, Ive also revealed my position and name Thats not what I asked. I don''t know why he revealed what he did but Just because he did doesn''t mean I had to as well. I mean, for what purpose did you ask me that? In other words, I know youre up to something. The man seemed to understand what I meant and let out a sigh. This is difficult. Maybe because youre from a different world. Likewise. I think you have a loose screw somewhere in your head. Looking at how frustrated he was, he didn''t seem to have an ulterior motive but I didn''t particrly want to tell him my name. It could potentially be a prerequisite to activating his innate ability or something. And You probably didn''t intrude my trial out of the goodness of your heart. He was literally here to eliminate me. I had no reason to answer him. But Its just simple etiquette The old man clicked his tongue and took out the sword hanging from his waist. I didn''t know what kind of ce this Murim was, but it definitely wasnt normal. Especially if they consider introductions before a duel to be normal. Well, its fine. I can''t force you to be respectful. In an instant, the old mans atmosphere sharpened and Shssst! Goodbye, nameless swordsman. He swung his sword cleanly at the empty space in front of him. ? My confusion didn''tst very long. Your vision is blinded by the innate ability Sword sh. The mans sword shed with a bright white light and blinded me. What the! As if to undermine my decision to put some distance between us, the sh took away my ability to react to any of his attacks. Of course Activating the skill Mana Resistance. The blindness duration has been reduced to 2.5 seconds. My mana circuit and resistance activated and reduced the effectiveness but It didn''t matter that much against a ridiculous ability like blinding. It was then Activating the skill Minds Eye. Everything changed when the skill I obtained from the dungeon boss activated. I was able to feel his de rapidly approaching my throat. Nice! I relied heavily on this feeling and tried to react to the best of my ability. Even though I couldn''t gauge an urate distance or see his body, It was still enough. aash! Ugh! I twisted my torso at the very moment the de tried to pierce my throat and managed to dodge it. Achievement Blind Evasion unlocked. Agility increased by 2. *** Reaper Scans *** I couldn''t dodge itpletely and the de slightly grazed my neck, but it wasn''t something to worry about. Innate ability Sword shs effect has concluded. What? The first thing I saw as I gained sight again was a flustered face. He must have been shocked that his attack didn''t work but Activating the skill Ashen Blood. Activating the skill Instant eleration. I healed the scratch on my neck as I counter-attacked with an attack of my own. Fwoosh! Ripping the air in front of me, I lunged forward as the old man almost glided back from surprise. How did you know? I had no reason to answer this either. It was a waste of my breath. I looked him directly in the eye and said the only thing I needed to say. Winds Blessing. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 30%. Number of stacks - 3/7 With both the Winds Blessing and Instant eleration stacked on each other, I leaped forward. I closed the distance in an instant and swung the sword in my right hand. You evil demon! The old man finally gave up on trying to make me talk and bit his lip as he fended off my swing. ng! The des collided and sparks flew out between us. He monotonously nullified my attack with his own. And from the looks of his trembling fingers, the difference in our stats wasnt very big. I don''t overpower him with all my stat boosts? Even the ck knight couldn''t do anything with my stats that were boosted by necromancy This self-proimed Murim elder was different. Even if he did use both of his hands, the fact that I couldn''t push him back meant his stats were much higher than I expected. That wasn''t all. Even though he wasted his breath by asking me useless questions, he wasn''t out of breath at all. Compared to me, I may be the one who was out of breath. Is it a difference in technique? I thought my swordsmanship wasn''t all that bad, especially with my weapons skill This otherworldly challenger was in a league of his own. An experienced swordsman with simr stats I suddenly felt a lick of chill down my back. The old man exuded bloodlust from his eyes as he muttered in a cold voice. Ill get serious now. Before I could even process what he had just said, the old man shed the air once more and Your vision is blinded by the innate ability Sword sh. I was blinded yet again. Activating the skill Mana Resistance. The blindness duration has been reduced to 2.5 seconds. But now, without my sense of sight, my other senses felt more heightened than before. The skill Minds Eye is currently activated. The Minds Eye skill allows me to perceive attacks from outside my range of vision. And because this abilitypletely blocked my field of vision, I was able to perceive attacks from all directions. Even then, the old mans attacks were ferocious. Shhhhsst! He ripped through the air as if he didn''t even want to hide his attacks anymore. I was relying on the Minds Eye to dodge, but the attacks werent slowing down. How is his attack speed so high? I must have dodged seven different swings but the blindness was still effective. That means the old man swung seven times within a 2.5 second time frame. And all my speeds were increased by 30% with the Winds Blessing. That included an attack speed boost, and he easily matched that. No, he was overpowering it! Innate ability Sword shs effect has concluded. aaang! The sound of two metals shing filled the whole colosseum. I instinctually swung my sword at the iing de as soon as my sight came back but The old man seemed to have expected that and used the rebound to counter-attack. It was an insanebo thatbined his insane attack speed with increased momentum. I can''t dodge this. After determining that, I raised the shield that was attached to my left hand. Of course, I knew that I wouldn''t be able to block that with just a shield. It was myst-ditch effort to reduce some of the damage. The old man seemed to know this as well and elerated his attack. But Activating Wrought Iron Pendants (B) effect Steels Blessing. Your skin develops a property that absorbs all physical damage by 10% I had no intentions of taking the full impact of that attack. Kraack! The shield attached to my left arm shattered into tiny pieces and scattered everywhere. His sword didn''t stop there and pierced through about half my arm before I could pull it away. aaash! My left arm waspletely tattered by the sword but it didn''t matter. The pain was drastically reduced and it had already started healing. Deactivating Wrought Iron Pendants (B) effect Steels Blessing. I deactivated the pendant so as to not waste extra mana and I red at the old man as I hopped back while holding my left arm. Hes a monster He was much more skilled than me and his stats wereparable to mine. And his innate ability was so broken that I couldn''t get a good attack in. I could deal with his attacks but I couldn''t control the flow of the battle. If the fight continues like this itll be my loss. Ashen Bloods healing effect wasn''t infinite. The old man scowled as he saw my arm heal. You must be using some sort of demon-arts to heal all of your injuries. I didn''t reply and instead moved my hand over to grip my sword with both hands. I might as well since my shield was beyond usable. I thought you were a decent martial artist but you must be using borrowed powers Was the innate ability that he used not given to him by the tower? If he was using skills to move, was he not using demon-arts? What a damn hypocrite. I had just lost my first line of defense. I still had my pendant, but I couldn''t rely on itpletely. I have to finish this as fast as possible. I needed to find a way topletely overpower him. And I realized that there may be an easy method to do so. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 70%. Number of stacks - 7/7 Due to reaching the maximum number of stacks, a cooldown has been ced on the skill Winds Blessing. Ill just stack my winds blessing to the max. Are you using demon-arts again? He stared at me as if he was at a loss for words. But A swordsman shouldn''t rely on borrowed?! Fwooom! Was it because he realized all my speeds had increased again? What the? The old mans face froze as the iridescent winds wrapped around my body. Did you say that these were borrowed powers? I smirked at the old man. Then die to this rental, old man. It was time to turn the tables Trantor''s notes - Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Bin - Man i hate tranting murim words DVN-L - Bin tried to make an Office reference but I refuse. Nice try, Jim. Chapter 59: The Murim Challenger (3) Chapter 59: The Murim Challenger (3) Chapter 59: The Murim Challenger (3) Murim Alliance Elder Baek Sunhak was stunned for the first time in a while. And the reason? The man standing in front of him, being caressed by the winds. It was unnatural. He was different from all the other challengers that hed faced before. Fwoosh! You could tell just by looking at the winds surrounding him. Whatever he was doing was on an entirely different level than before He had been considering this Earth world as a training ground. Everyone from this ce had been abnormally weak. Because they had no previous knowledge of martial arts, they only used the abilities gained in the tower. Before he had lost all his power, Baek Sunhak was one of the best fighters in his world. Seeing the powerless buffoons of Earth, he knew that none of them wouldst that long. Challengers from other worlds also noticed this and started looting Earth. Activating trial intrusion. Upon killing the challenger, you may steal their rewards. But Baek Sunhak had never once failed an intrusion. Not a single challenger had even met his expectations. Hed already killed two challengers from this world and took their rewards. So surely, this one wouldnt have been any different. His innate ability, Sword sh, immediately blinded his opponents field of vision He was able to assassinate people simply by silently stabbing their throats. No one had been able to react to that. That was the reason Baek Sunhak was able to keep hisposure and ask for an introduction. But Who the hell is he! The young man standing in front of him was different. With both eyes disabled, he was able to not only dodge but also counterattack. That alone assured Baek Sunhak that not everyone in this world was as weak as he had made them out to be. But that should have been his limit. No one should be able to match him once he had gotten serious. But things didn''t go about how he expected. aaash! A loud crash echoed throughout the trial as the young man kicked the ground. And at the same time eleration increased for a moment due to the effects of Boots of Swiftness (C+). For an instant, he was so fast that even Baek Sunhak couldn''t follow him with his eyes. He knew that he was up to something when the winds wrapped around him but Whatever demon art he used, this speed was nothing to scoff at. But he couldn''t be surprised for too long. ng! He had to do something about the young mans attacks. The increased attack speed made it harder for him to keep up, but Baek Sunhak was a distinguished martial artist. Chaaang! The fruits of his training suppressed the young mans swordsmanship and countered all of his blows. In his prime, he was once one of the top 10 swordsmen in his world. He caused disruptions to the flow of his de to form all sorts of sword feints. The seven feints prevented the young man from his barrage but As if the feints were too slow, the young man just took a step back to remove himself from the range of the feints. Reacting swiftly, Baek Sunhak activated his innate ability. Innate ability Sword shs cooldown has ended. Activating innate ability Sword sh. In an instant, his sword shed brightly and blinded the young mans eyes. But instead of just dodging, the young man started to attack even more ferociously. Activating the skill Minds Eye. This was the result of him getting used to Baek Sunhaks innate ability. *** Reaper Scans *** The young man dodged a jab aimed at his head and got in close. Ch-ch-chang! Whether this was demon arts or something else, Baek Sunhak had to acknowledge him now. What went wrong!? He should have killed him the first time he had been affected by his innate ability. His swordsmanship wasn''t anything special, but Baek Sunhak was starting to fall behind. For starters, their physical abilities were about the same before the winds had wrapped around the young man. And even if he did manage to get a blow in, it didn''t matter. The skill Ashen Blood is activated. The young mans body healed all his injuries as if they never happened. What kind of monster Getting a clean hit was hard enough already, so nullifying it? Baek Sunhaks techniques were clearly superior but The main problem was the skill he had to counteract the effects of his innate ability. Baek Sunhak was too proud to use the skills that he had received from the tower but It was better than dying. Activating the skill One Stone Two Birds. Attack speed increased by 2 times. Activating the skill Lighting de Ki. Lightning encases your de. Krrrrr! de Ki, rare even in the murim world, was the telltale the main sign of a top-tier martial artist. That ability was about to be performed by Baek Sunhak but Trial intrusion penalty is active. All stats are reduced by -8. Certain skills are disabled. The tower forbade it from activating. The skill One Stone Two Birds is forcefully deactivated. The skill Lightning de Ki is forcefully deactivated. Kangg! Ugh! Baek Sunhaks wrists vibrated as he fended off another blow. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is astonished by the young challenger. The administrator that he formed a contract with was chiming in all of a sudden. Not only that. Administrator Monster of the North predicts your loss. Administrator Tyrant of the Night is interested in the young challenger. Administrator Hero of the ck Archipgo admires the young challengers skill use. The other administrators who had been observing him also showed interest in the young man in front of him. Hence, this man was well beyond a typical challenger. Damn Baek Sunhak felt the sweat drip down his back as he tried to think of any skill he could currently use. Thinking he could still pull ahead, Baek Sunhak pushed more ki into his sword. Even though he wasn''t able to use sword ki, it would still strengthen his sword. Fwing! Seeing a blue fog rise up from his sword, Baek Sunhak went on the offensive. Innate ability Sword shs cooldown has ended. Activating innate ability Sword sh. After activating his innate ability, he mustered up the few skills that he could actually use. Activating the skill Single Cut. Your next ability with a de has increased cutting force by 2 times. Activating the skill Fairy Steps. Increases movement speed by 2.8 times for 1 minute. To prepare for his one,st-ditch effort. He even raised his movement speed to catch up with his opponent. Shaaaek! The young man didn''t back down from this sh. This was when Baek Sunhak smiled as he anticipated his victory. All he had to do was cut him in half, straight through his sword. Its done. Its finally ov? But What Contrary to his belief, Baek Sunhak wasn''t able to slice through the young challengers sword. Activating the skill Triple Laceration. Your next three attacks are strengthened. The young challengers sword was also overflowing with mana. *** ng! I felt chills down my spine after blocking the old manstest attack. Holy sh Right before going blind, I saw a blue fog around his sword. Because it was simr to the aura that the ck knight used on the 5th trial, I deliberately activated Triple Laceration. And thank goodness that I did. Even with enough force to obliterate a sand golem, the old mans sword didn''t budge Thats just how impressive the old man was. I would have died if I didn''t use my skill My throat suddenly felt cold after realizing how close I was to death. If he had sliced through my sword, my neck would have followed closely behind. I knew my limbs would reattach with rtive ease, but I wasn''t sure about my head. Innate ability Sword shs effect has concluded. And as soon as my sight returned I was greeted by a shocked old man. That was of no concern to me. I knocked his sword aside and took another swing at him. Triple Laceration gets stronger with each attack. Hence, if the first one was just about equal to his blue ki Skaaaak! My second blow shattered his de into pieces. He may not have expected my attack to shatter his sword because, as his sword broke, he was unable to pull back in time And the tip of my sword gouged into his chest. A-a He stumbled back and coughed up a bit of blood, but I wasnt going to take pity. The old man had the ability to fend off an attack from my Laceration. If he had anything like that left in his arsenal, I could fall to it. At this point, it was kill or be killed. So I swung my sword without hesitation and Deactivating the skill Triple Laceration. Shaaaak! No, unbelie Split in half, the old man was unable to finish his sentence before he ended up on the floor. And Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 9. My smile couldn''t be contained as I read the deration of my victory. After another close fight, the exhration of the battle was overwhelming. Trantor''s notes - Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Old man doesn''t know mcs name I forget sometimes too Chapter 60: Another Administrator (1) Chapter 60: Another Administrator (1) Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 9. The message cemented what had just happened. I did it I finally killed this damned intruder. But instead of letting out a sigh of relief, I stuck my hand out on top of his corpse. This was very different from what I did the first time I killed an intruder. You have absorbed the soul of the challenger Baek Sunhak. Proficiency increased by 27% The corpse disappeared as soon as I finished absorbing the soul. The same thing happened thest time I killed an intruder so As not much of a surprise, the same thing happened. But This worked? I was still able to absorb his soul before his body disappeared. I thought it wouldn''t be possible because the ck fog disappeared with the body but That was not the case. Adjusted for the current floor, the restriction ced on necromancy has been lifted. Upon killing challengers from another world, you are able to absorb their souls. It looked like the tower had just ced a restriction on me thest time. I guess I can absorb the soul of whatever I kill On the other hand, I wouldn''t be able to absorb anything that I didn''t kill myself. Just seeing the piles of orc corpses on the outskirts of the colosseum proved that. I tried sticking my hand out and activating necromancy but nothing happened. But I ended up getting 27% in proficiency Not bad. He must have been absurdly strong because that was a very satisfactory amount. It was getting harder to gain proficiency after it reached C-rank. The difficulty and rewards are not proportional. Recalibrating the rewards. ...I forgot that was a thing. My expectations were high after remembering what had happened on the 5th floor. I wonder what Ill get now I didn''t think itd be as good as the 5th floor because I didnt have to struggle as much. Recalibrationplete. I shut my mouth and focused on the following messages. And As a reward, you have received Sixth Sense (C+). As a reward, you have received 35,000 points. As a bonus reward, you have received 1,000 SP. Please move to the waiting area. Sixth Sense. It fell a little short of my expectations There didn''t seem to be that big of a difference between this and the original reward, Animal Instincts. Well, I guess it doesn''t matter too much Its probably better. Vooom! I walked over to the blue portal that appeared at the center of the stadium. The high I got from my victory had already worn off and I was back to my usual self. Maybe it was because the challenger I had just fought didn''t live up to the expectations of being an elder. But I kept calm throughout the battle and made smart decisions. If I had lost my cool, I might have been the one on the floor. The aura around his de was pretty formidable. And there was the lighting thing before that too But it disappeared like it was blocked by something. Probably a penalty for intruding on a lower floor. There was no way that the tower would let intruders enter lower level floors with no restrictions. The knight I met on the 5th floor was talking about something like that. Ill look into it more once I get back to the waiting room. *** Reaper Scans *** It was then Administrator White Crane Sword Saint has been inspired by your fight. ? A couple of messages popped up out of the blue. Administrator Monster of the North is thrilled by yourbat. Administrator Tyrant of the Night is amused by your achievement. Administrator Hero of the ck Archipgo apuds your battle sense. What the This was different from any of the other messages that I had seen before. Actually, the Iron-blooded Monarch had sent something like this before. But that was when I was invited to her area. Then I remembered. That message that popped up. System expansion is starting. Administrators can now spectate your trials. I guess they can send me messages since they can now spectate me. The Iron-Blooded Monarch did say that it wasn''t possible for administrators to spectate anything that happened below the 8th floor. Its strange but thats the only reasonable exnation. It felt a little unreal that someone was watching me fight, but it didn''t matter that much. No matter what it was, they were impressed with what I had just done. I actually felt kind of proud that I was finally being given recognition. But Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch scowls at the excessive attention you are receiving. I guess she was looking as well? Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch instructs you to not be enticed. I guess it felt like being scolded by a girlfriend for eyeing another girl? Ah, yes Slightly intimidated, all I could say was yes. Well, its not like theyre giving me anything by watching me Then Administrator White Crane Sword Saint wants to add powers into your exclusive marketce. Do you ept? ? What I didn''t expect this, but I knew exactly what this was referencing. (!) You may fill the power listings with an administrators sponsorship or other deals. That was under the listing on my current exclusive store. Is this what they meant by sponsorship or other deals? This Sword Saint administrator wanted to sponsor me with his powers. Why? It wasnt a deal or anything. What did he have to gain from this? Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch reluctantly allows you to ept the powers. I can just take this? She was wary of other administrators just before but I wonder why she suddenly changed her mind. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch says that administrators sometimes sponsor challengers to gain their favor. Favor? I didn''t understand. What good was gaining favor from a challenger that had alreadypleted their contract? Will there be more encounters with administrators like this? But it wasn''t the Iron-Blooded Monarch that responded this time. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint smiles shyly and says yes. Well, I guess I could see why he wanted to sponsor me. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch says the SP spent on buying powers goes back to the sponsor of that power. I guess that made sense. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch tells you to not feel pressured because his powers wouldn''t even be that good anyway. Although it was clear that he wasn''t doing this from the goodness of his heart I guess I wouldn''t lose anything from having more options. Youve epted administrator White Crane Sword Saints power listings. Sword Ki Master has been added to Category: Power in your exclusive marketce. Sword ki master? I didn''t understand exactly what that would be but Ill look into it in the waiting area. Well, thanks. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint smiles and tells you to remember this generosity. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint tells you that its quite useful and to make good use of it. Okay. I will. Of course, Ill be the one to decide if its useful or not I wanted to be respectful to the administrator. I waited to see if any of the administrators wanted to join in, but it didn''t happen. There arent any messages from them besides thepliments I should be good to go back to the waiting area now. Well, Im headed back now. And as soon as I said that Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch urges you to check the newly unlocked powers as well. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch assures you that they will be useful. I will. Don''t worry. No matter what happened, she was the administrator that I had formed my contract with. I was going to make use of everything she had to offer. I walked into the blue portal after my short goodbye. And You have entered the 10th floor waiting room. System expansion is starting. You can now enter the public area. I wonder if the administrators can see me from here Just to make sure. Are you still looking by any chance? But No response. Ehem. A little embarrassed, I turned on my exclusive marketce. Category: Powers Listing (1/3) Power: Serenity (C-) [Purchased] Power: Iron Soul (A+) Power: Winter King (D+) Power: Sword Ki Master (C+) Ooh? Power: Sword Ki Master (C+) Price: 1,500 SP Exnation: Sword ki that only top tier masters can use embodied as a power. Stronger than normal sword ki and allows you to strengthen ded weapons with mana, ki, or other energies. A power that lets me strengthen my weapons by inserting mana into them? Its better than I thought? The fact that I had enough points to buy it made it even more enticing. But it was a little too early to make a decision. Unlikest time, the next page was just a click away. And What the hell is this I couldn''t help but be shaken by what I was looking at.

Me when streaming: god i wish that were me Chapter 61: Another Administrator (2) Chapter 61: Another Administrator (2) Category: Powers Listing (2/3) Power: Bone Reconstruction (C+) Power: Iron-blooded Sword (A-) Power: Hand of Death (B-) Why are all their ranks so high? They were all better than the ones I saw on the first page. You could just by looking at the names of the powers that they were more favorable for battle. I guess this is why she told me to check the store And. Power: Bone Reconstruction (C+) Price: 1,500 SP Exnation: A power that can turn any bone structure into one suited for martial arts with no regard for the level of martial understanding. All stats increase by +2 during the reconstruction. But, if you have already achieved bone reconstruction or are at a level where you can achieve it at any point, you are not able to purchase this power. Power: Iron-blooded Sword (A-) Price: 5,000 SP Exnation: A power that allows you to summon an iron-blooded sword made of mana. However, this does not deplete the users mana. The quality of the sword depends on the users mana and swordsmanship level and can be resummoned when broken. However, only one can be summoned at a time. Power: Hand of Death (B-) Price: 2,500 SP Exnation: Necromancy and ck magic be twice as effective. Causes slight deterioration of flesh upon injuring opponents with an item in your hand. However, if the opponent has a regeneration skill, the ability will only reduce healing by half. My first impressions werent wrong. How are they all so good? The bone structure one was probably decent considering the stat increase but The two others were on a different level. Summoning an iron-blooded sword or deteriorating flesh All I could do wasugh. They were so good that having one of these could make you an S-rank hunter. Especially this hand of death one Iron-blooded Sword simply increased your power level, but the Hand of Death was different. If Im going against an opponent with a lot of regeneration, Ille out on top pretty easily. It was an enticing power since I knew of a lot of monsters who had a lot of regeneration. But there was a dark side to all this. That means other administrators have skills just as powerful as these. In other words, they might possess a skill that would render my Ashen Blood useless. Id have to be careful Id just have to put a little bit more emphasis on being wary of other challengers abilities. Anyway, which one should I pick? Currently, I only had 2,000 points at my disposal. That meant Id only be able to get powers around C-rank Hmm. I could save up a bit more SP and wait to buy a better power, but I couldn''t risk that. Because I knew exactly how strong these intruders from another world were. Even the old man I just faced on the 9th floor was crazy strong. He did talk like he had a screw loose in his head, but his strength It was important to buy something so I didn''t die to anyone like that. I guess this is the only choice. Power: Sword Ki Master (C+) Price: 1,500 SP Exnation: Sword ki that only top tier masters can use, embodied as a power. Stronger than normal sword ki and is able to be strengthened with mana, ki, or other energies. Sword Ki Master. Baek Sunhak was able to strengthen his sword enough to block an attack from my Triple Laceration. That was probably this powers effect. Not only that, I got chills the moment his sword emitted an aura of lightning. Just one nce was all it took to see how much power that packed. Of course, the skill was canceled immediately, but I still needed a way to counteract something like that. You have purchased Power: Sword Ki Master (C+) 1,500 SP deducted. Phew I couldn''t help but let out a sigh as I felt all my SP escape from me. I needed to buy it but money leaving my wallet I really wanted to get the +2 in all stats with the Bone Reconstruction power but Well, it might be more efficient to buy it when my stats get harder to raise. *** Reaper Scans *** Status. Han Sungyeun Radiance - Conqueror ] Strength - 67 Stamina - 66 Agility - 68 Mana - 63 Tenacity - 63 Innate ability - Necromancy (C) Innate power - Skill Combination Power - Serenity (C-), Sword Ki Master (C+) Skill - See details Nothings really changed except for a small increase in my agility. And the only reason it went up was that achievement I got for blindly dodging his attack. I then selected Sword Ki Master to see the details. Sword Ki Master Grade: C+ Sword ki that only top tier masters can use embodied as a power. Stronger than normal sword ki and is able to be strengthened with mana, ki, or other energies. However, mana cost increases with duration. Hm There wasn''t much added to the exnation. Just that the mana cost increased the longer I had the skill active. Does that mean theres no cooldown? If thats true, this power may be better than I thought it was. After reading the exnation, I started to push some mana into my sword. Activating the power Sword Ki Master. Shhhht! A blue fog started to form around my sword with a message that my power had been activated. The blue fog gave it an almost dream-like atmosphere. Oooh Mana flowed into my sword when I used Triple Laceration, but this was different. If a river of mana flowing into the sword was called sword ki Triple Laceration was more like a wave of mana sshing into the sword? It feels different though. I couldn''t test its power here but I was fairly sure I knew exactly what they meant by mana cost increases with duration. Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 1 minute. Mana cost increases by 2% Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 2 Mana cost increases by 4% Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 3 Mana cost increases by 6% A message popped up telling me that my mana cost was increasing by 2% every minute. So in about 50 minutes, the mana cost is going to be increased by 100%. Basically, it was going to eat up my mana like crazy. It was costly enough without the cost increase Power Sword Ki Master is deactivating. Well, I think I thats enough of that And as always, it was time to check the trial reward. I think it was supposed to be sixth sense? Id check that first. Skill - Sixth Sense (C+) Proficiency - 0% Effect - Your instincts be urate enough to awaken as a sixth sense. Basically, my instincts just get better. If just that was enough to make it a C+ rank skill, it should be pretty substantial. But there wasn''t much else to see. I then sat on my waiting area bed and opened themunity. I wonder whats trending now You have entered themunity. Difficulty - Hard Floor 10 Community (721/1321) As usual, themunity was in a state of chaos but Public area? I took note of all the things that seemed useful.Public area Interesting. The presence of foreigners meant it would be good forworking But it was important that I could receive messages from administrators there. AndYou can trade powers? Well, I guess I knew what I was doing next. Public area. Moving to the 10th floor public area. Interacting with other challengers and being able to make deals with their administrators Sign me up. Trantor''s notes - Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! My wallet also cries everyday mc Chapter 62: Another Administrator (3) Chapter 62: Another Administrator (3) Chapter 62: Another Administrator (3) The public area. An area on every floor that was generated for the purposes of challengers towork. A ce that allowed challengers to get in contact with foreign challengers that they could normally never meet. Being able towork with more challengers Thats good, right? This was the chance to get noticed by all the administrators whod never run into us in trials. Lee Sungjin thought that just that would be worthing to the public area. Thats not all the benefits there are but Using his questions with his contracted administrator, he was able to figure out a bunch of uses for the public area. Attending auctions, sports battling, gambling, etc There were a bunch of facilities that everyone could benefit from. So Sungjin canceled his ns to return to Earth and opted toe here instead. But Was it because he was summoned vacant alley near the main area where everyone else was? Arent these bastards all Korean hunters? Something strange was going on. Yeah. These fuckers are all Korean. And isnt that one an A rank hunter? Damn, I thought Korea was supposed to be a hunter stronghold or something. I guess even they couldn''t do anything about the tower. They were talking like they were so much better than China and now look at them. Fuckin slimy ass turds Mana cost is increased by 100% due to innate ability Weakening Lights effect. All stats decrease by 20% due to innate ability Territorizes effect. Parts of your body be paralyzed due to innate ability Eye of Fears effect. The other challengers who were summoned in the alley used all kinds of debuffs to restrict Lee Sungjins movements. What the fuck? He was certain that something bad was about to happen. In an area with just 6 people, three of them suddenly activated their innate abilities. Lee Sungjin remembered reading something about having to walk a little bit before reaching the area with all the people in the public area. Hence, no one would know if a murder urred here. W-Wait a minute. What do you think youre doing? Startled, Lee Sungjin interrogated the three challengers but Who knows? What do you think were doing? Why don''t you think hard about it? Theres no way someone from the hunter stronghold of the world wouldn''t know, right? Haha, of course. Hes Korean. The three only mocked him. Ah, I think Im fucked It was true. Lee Sungjin was an A-rank hunter before he came into the tower. With all the experience he had dealing with other hunters, he knew what was about to go down. Theyre doing this here? Not even in a trial? They must be trying to kill or neutralize us before taking what they want from us. The woman standing behind Lee Sungjin started speaking. I-It sounds like youre Chinese from yournguage but do you think you can handle it? If we expose you in themunity right now it won''t go over well. Lee Sungjin realized that was also an option just then, but that didn''t seem to change their minds. And how effective do you think that will be? And even if you can get this news out of the tower, why would anyone believe you over us? As if they didn''t mind murder as long as it wouldn''t cause problems in the outside world. Well, that doesn''t mean well kill you all. ? If you drop all your equipment and do as we say, well let at least one of you live. Lee Sungjin couldn''t help but grimace at their crude tone. Not only that Administrator ck Devil is keenly observing this situation. Administrator Glutton tells you to take your hands off their contractor. Administrator ck Devilughs and says sucks to suck. Administrator Glutton warns their contractor to back off. Lee Sungjins administrator Glutton told the Chinese challengers administrator off, to no avail. What should I do? He couldn''t figure out a good way to diffuse the situation. The woman standing behind him took a couple of steps back in fear as well. Shall we continue this conversation after you disarm yourselves? As the challenger smirked How about we don''t? The man in the ck robe who was standing silently the whole time finally spoke up. What? I said I don''t think we should. Do you know what youre saying right now? Obviously. Im saying that we don''t have to sit here and listen to your dumbass threats. Ha, hahaha. Thats funny. But his face didn''t look very amused. The aggravated challenger eyed the other two challengers and continued in a cold voice. I wonder if youll still think that even after you die. The worst possible situation seemed inevitable, and Lee Sungjin tensed up. I guess I have to fight!? But something unexpected happened. Taaang! Activating the power Sword Ki Master. Activating the skill Instant eleration. Sliiit! Huh? The agitated challengers head was flying through the air in a blink of an eye. By none other than the man in the ck robe. *** Reaper Scans *** Honestly, I had had high expectations for the public area. It was finally an opportunity to meet other challengers in a non-trial environment And that could lead to some proper interactions. But More of these people Im so sick of it. The little expectations I had werepletely shattered as soon as I entered. I couldn''t even imagine that challengers from other countries would try to loot items from us. Disappointment aside, I just didn''t like these people. Threatening people to get what they want One of my main skills, Winds Blessing, was on cooldown but Activating the skill Forceful Breakthrough. Activating the skill Mana Resistance. They werent even otherworldly challengers. These small fries were a joke at this point. Mana cost increase by 100% has been canceled. Stats decrease by 20% has been canceled. The paralysis effect has been canceled. Easy. I cleansed the debuffs off and I felt like myself again. Activating the power Sword Ki Master. aaat! After decapitating the one standing in the front I pushed myself a little faster to run to the other two. W-What the fu! Lightning spe! Ssssggt! I sliced in half the guy who was about to activate a skill and E-Eeek! D-dont ki! Thud! I kicked the other one who threw away his weapon and conceded. He flew backward and wallowed in the pain as if a bone had broken. Aghhhh! Judging from his face, a broken rib must have punctured one of his organs. Seeing the tears drop from his bloodshot eyes disgusted me. He wasughing right before he was about tomit murder but Did he not think that he had thising? Ghughhhh. P-Please G-Give me a cha But I obviously didn''t and walked over to give him his finishing blow. Tup. Was it because I barely felt anything now? Achievement Fight Fire With Fire unlocked. Strength increased by 1. It left a bitter taste in my mouth that I was so desensitized to death. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is satisfied with their contractors audacity. Of course, the Iron-blooded Monarch seemed to like that. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Hyun Moojin. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Lee Chunjin. You have absorbed the soul of the yer Nam Jinhyun. Proficiency increased by 6.4% They must not have been that strong if it didn''t raise my proficiency by that much But just their equipment should make this worth it. Anyway, I wanted to see how powerful the Sword Ki was but They werent strong enough to serve as a gauge. Well, Ill get another chance sometime soon. Whether its back on Earth or here. I turned around, putting my regrets aside. Then W-Would you happen to be a ranker? One of the people who was threatened with me was staring. Like he didn''t believe how quickly this situation resolved itself. A ranker well, I guess you could call me that. I was always in the top 10 during the trial evaluations, so I figured I qualified to be one. I-I see. Its an honor to meet you. Thank you for your assistance. After the man thanked me, the woman followed suit. S-Sorry. I should have helped but it ended faster than I expected I didn''t do it for them. Its nothing. I didn''t have a saviorplex and I wasnt here to save anyone. They just happened next to me when I was threatened and defended myself. You can go now. Yes? B-But as thanks Its fine. You can just go. Ah, okay The female challenger seemed like she wanted to do something in return but I honestly didn''t really want anything from her. Besides, I doubt it would have been anything that helpful. As I was about to walk over to the corpses on the floor E-Excuse me A small voice behind me caught my attention. Are you still here? I stared at the male challenger who hadnt moved yet. What? I told him I didn''t need anything. The suspicious challenger opened his mouth. Ah, well, I just wanted to give I said it was fine. Don''t worry about it. T-Then how about this? ? Can you let me have the corpses? What He didn''t even lift a finger when I was tearing through them. I frowned at the bullshit he called a proposition. Sorry, I don''t think In return, Ill give you a power through my administrator. Sounds good. The male challenger widened his eyes in surprise. Oh? R-Really? I was serious. I didn''t care about other things, but a power was something else. A power for three measly corpses? I was definitely not on the losing end of this deal. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch admires your quick change of heart. The Iron-blooded Monarch admired this, but this was how humans are. Ill take the power as long as you tell me what it does. Ill decide what to do after that. Administrator Glutton smiles at your wit. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint watches this situation with interest. Administrator ck Devil is sick of your good fortune. What? The continuous wall of messages shocked me for a second. This was more attention than I expected. But the more eyes I had on me, the more I could get out of it. I pushed down any emotion that I felt and started speaking monotonously. What do you say? The challenger nodded his head without hesitation and Okay. To exin this power My eyes widened as I heard his exnation. I realized I had won a pretty good power as soon as I had walked into the public area. Trantor''s notes - Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Mc changing his stance faster than udyr Chapter 63: Arena (1) Chapter 63: Arena (1) Chapter 63: Arena (1) Administrator Glutton approved the power transfer. Wings of Steel is added to the Category: Power of your exclusive store. I couldn''t help but let a smile slip. To get another power already The purpose of this trip was to interact with other challengers but I didn''t realize Id get something so quickly. And ording to the mans exnations, this Wings of Steel power would definitelye in handy. The ability to summon a steel wing imbued with levitation using mana. Hence, it opened me up for aerialbat Ill have a way to deal with any monsters or challengers that have a simr ability. Of course, he did say that the mana cost was pretty high but I could take care of that when the time came. Not bad. Id already achieved like half of the things I came into the public area for. But Administrator White Crane Sword Saint tells him to back off the challenger hes eying. Administrator Glutton is enraged at how ungrateful he is. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is not pleased with all the administrators around her contractor. Administrator ck Devil watches these three in excitement. All the administrators seemed to be dissatisfied with something. Looking at these administrators fighting put a thought in my head They definitely had something to gain from sponsoring these challengers. Especially because the Sword Saint mentioned something about eyeing me. That must mean hes expecting something from me. Was I going to be meeting them anytime soon? Well, there was no way to check that now. More importantly So, can I take these corpses and their items? The man carefully asked for my permission after confirming that the deal wasplete. Yes. Go ahead. The man walked up to the corpses after my approval and muttered something to himself. Gluttony. The corpses disappeared into dust and the male challengers hand glowed softly. Is it a power? Probably something to do with his administrator Glutton. Now no one will know something happened here. I didn''t think it would have been a problem even if people did find out, but I guess its one less problem to think about. I see. Ah, I forgot to even introduce myself. ? Im an A-rank hunter, Lee Sungjin. Ah, okay. I thought wed be off on our merry ways but he introduced himself out of nowhere. I was considering telling him my name but I decided against it. Well, Im off to the public area now so it was nice to meet you. I started to back out of the conversation. But W-wait! ? I can show you around the area since were both going there. Isnt it everyones first time in the public area right now? Yeah, but I used a bunch of my questions so I know a couple of extra things. ... Just a few minutes is fine. Im sure itll be useful. Should I? I mean, theres nothing to lose But I didn''t really want to apany a total stranger that Id just met. I was about to decline politely when A-and, Ill tell you about the other worlds as well. Administrator Glutton is shocked at his contractors generosity. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch starts to smile. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint tilts his head. Administrator ck Devilughs at the challengers decision. After seeing the flurry of messages, I quickly adjusted my reply. Sure. Ill apany you. Nothing to lose right? *** Reaper Scans *** Lee Sungjin talked the entire time we walked over to the public area. The public area is centered around a huge za. The areas arergely divided up to be the arena, the auction house, and the casino. Of course, there were a bunch of other buildings and facilities that we had ess to but Those three were the only ces to go if you actually wanted to do something. I suppose I could rest in the public area if I was too cheap to buy a return stone but I didnt really want to do that. There were things I wanted to ask Lee Hayeon about anyway. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint regrets not having formed a contract with you. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch tells him to stay away from her contractor. Administrator Glutton slips the two administrators a look. Administrator ck Devil is enjoying this love triangle. Maybe it was also because I was tired of seeing all these messages non-stop. And the administrators must really want something from challengers from the looks of it Powerful ones at that. But I didn''t have the mental capacity to think about that and listen to Lee Sungjins exnation at the same time. The arena is where challengers can battle with one another. The victor takes whatever the loser put on the table, whether it be an item or a skill. And the loser loses whatever they bet on the battle. Besides that, the arena would only match you with someone who bet something of equal value And dying in the arena just meant that youd be revived with a couple of penalties. Most of the challengers there would be from the strategy divergence. People who chose that divergence are the ones who go against other challengers the most often. And that also means there are some nasty people there. And then the exnation of the auction house. As the name implies, its a ce to auction something off. You can buy and sell items and all transactions are made through points. Everything you get through the tower is pretty high quality, so you can consider it to be at the same level as the VIP hunter market. After that Lastly, theres the casino but I heard it was a vulgar ce. You can exchange all kinds of skills, points, or whatever into coins and gamble with them. I heard you get not only points but also the ability to strengthen skills and items. That seemed to be all. I have heard that the casino isnt a good choice for most people. ording to my administrator, you can end up losing everything. Most of these things weremon sense but it was still nice to know. I guess I won''t have to waste any time researching this ce. I was wondering what I was going to do here Since the exnation about the public area was done, he moved on to an exnation about the other worlds. So you can separate otherworldly challengers into three broad categories. From what I know, the three worlds intruders wille from are Ares, Murim, and Kallian. When I asked my administrator, he said that those are the only worlds well be intruded from. Administrator Glutton nods reluctantly. My administrator didn''t say anything about that No, maybe it was because I never asked her about it. Maybe theyre also being restricted by the tower. Challengers from Ares are mostly knights and ce a lot of importance on chivalry. They seem to be receiving their orders from a huge kingdom. Challengers from Murim are simr, but they belong to a lot of different factions and all have different beliefs. Two challengers came to mind after hearing this exnation. The ck knight and Baek Sunhak were from Ares and Murim respectively There isnt much known about Kallian but I heard those challengers are something like elves, fairies, or beastmen. Well, I havent met one, but thats what Ive heard. And apparently, they usually operate within their species. Thats also something I had no information about. Kallian? Beastmen seemed interesting but Everyone Id meet would be my enemy. The hardest to deal with are Murim challengers. They usually belong to three factions: the righteous Murim Alliance, the shrewd Dark Society, and the evil Heavenly Demon Cult. The Murim Alliance. Baek Sunhak said that he was an elder there. Have you ever met anyone from Murim? No, the only one Ive met was someone from Ares. I wanted to ask some follow-up questions but Youve entered the public area. All injuries and status ailments are healed and fights between challengers are forbidden. I was interrupted by a message and Ah, were finally here. I could see a bunch of people walking around the za behind therge gate. People from all over the world, walking somewhere with a purpose. Some of them were even talking to each other with a smile on their face. Was the fight with those Chinese challengers even real? I felt out of ce that no one was fighting with bloodshot eyes. I mean, I guess these challengers are all modern people I just couldn''t tell because Ive been meeting scumbags. I think my role as a guide ends here. How was it? I turned to face him. It was quite nice. I think itll be helpful. Haha, Im d you liked it. Lee Sungjin dug through his pockets with a smile and It aint much, but heres my business card. I took a nce at it and Youre the Challenger Management team lead at the Hunter Association. Haha, yeah, its embarrassing, but thats my position right now. Sorry if youre trying to recruit me but No, no. Its not like that. ? Our team just collects information on events that happen within the tower. Ah, okay. Feel free to contact me if you ever have questions. Okay. But its not free, right? Money might be fine but Ideally, it would be stories about the tower. Is that why you were looking into the other worlds? Well, I guess so. I have to report it up to the association. Ille to you if I ever need something. Thank you for even considering it. He smiled and continued to speak. Well, Im nning on heading to the auction house from here Ah, yeah. I also have a ce I want to check out. Thats great. Where are you headed now? I satisfied his curiosity with an honest answer. The arena. Im going to bleed them dry. Trantor''s notes - Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Thats what she said hehe Chapter 64: Arena (2) Chapter 64: Arena (2) Chapter 64: Arena (2) The arena? Lee Sungjin asked with his eyes wide open as messages started flooding in. Administrator Glutton is disappointed that youre not apanying his contractor. Administrator ck Devil is amused at your unpredictability. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is satisfied with your decision. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is delighted to see you perform. Mostly positive reactions. However The challengers at the arena are mostly assholes. And they specialize in fighting other challengers since most of them chose strategy at the divergence. Lee Sungjin seemed overly worriedpared to the admins. Hm He genuinely seemed to believe that nothing good coulde out of there. But that wasnt enough to scare me away. Im not too worried about it. The Chinese challengers I just went up against didnt put up much of a challenge. Lee Sungjin rubbed his chin while listening to my monotonous response and finally nodded. Hmm well, if you say so. It seemed like hed seen enough to know better than to worry for me. Well, Im heading out then. Ah, okay. Ill be going to the auction house then. Administrator Glutton says hell be back to spectateter. I guess he was going back to looking after his contractor. I was hoping to get something more out of it but oh well. But the other administrators didn''t seem to agree with me. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch smiles graciously and tells Glutton its okay to note back. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint nods in agreement. They don''t want to share me, huh? Id have to ask why in more detail once I got back to the waiting area. *** Reaper Scans *** The arena. One of the establishments of the public area where users could challenge each other for rewards. First impressions Stranger than I thought? It was not at all what Id expected. Ah, goddammit why did he lose again! Why the fuck is he so weak if hes a high ranker? Why the fuck are these Korean yers so damn strong? How the hell does a rank 300 win against 100? FUUUUCK! I lost again! Holy shit! Stop fucking losing! All the fiery passions of an illegal horse racing arena. People from all over the world came together to curse out their fates while staring at a scoreboard. This is the arena? You couldn''t even see the fight itself. Everyone sat in their seats and just furiously tapped on their screens. But I don''t think I identally came to the casino Wee to the arena. At least not ording to the system message. Administrator ck Devil smiles nostalgically. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is disgusted at this sight. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is exhrated by all the excitement. Even the administrators were calling this ce the arena. Whats going on? I took one of the empty seats to figure out what was going on. And then Activating the arena system. Click on the screen to choose betting or battle. For additional information, please click the help button. Tat! The ck screen turned on and a couple of messages popped up. And I finally figured out what all the rage was about. Betting and battle Help 1. The arena is made up of a betting and battle system. 2. Upon choosing betting you can bet points on other challengers battles. 2-1. Upon cing the bet, the result of the battle determines the number of points you get back. 2-2, It is also possible to lose all the points depending on the result of the battle. I can see why they would be so enraged. But this wasn''t what I came here to do. 3. Upon choosing battle, you can ce an item to bet and challenge other yers. 3-1. The challengers name and rank will be revealed to the challenged yer, and the challenged yer''s name and rank will be revealed upon the eptance of the battle. 3-2. All battles are one on one and do not start unless both yers bet a skill, item, or power. 3-3. If the two rewards arent equal in value, the battle may be canceled. 3-4. Upon the start of the battle, the two challengers fight in the colosseum. The battle ends if a yer surrenders and both challengers return to their seats. High risk, high return. I could keep fighting as long as we had something to bet. Hm Of course, its still a 1v1 so theres a limit to how much you can get but Change starts one step at a time. I clicked into Battle and found someone to challenge. And Katheryn Bt Server - America Rank - 6th Reward - Skill Gust de (C+) Wins - 17 Losses - 0 It didn''t take long to find an appetizing opponent. *** Katheryn Bt. The A-rank hunter once referred to as the ze Witch stared into space with her red hair draping down her pouting face. Is it my number of wins? Why is no one challenging me anymore? She sighed as her eyes stayed fixed on her unchanging screen. Its not like nobody was challenging her but Everyone who challenged her put up a pretty useless reward. And she didn''t even count those as a challenge and rejected them immediately. Why do they even have to show the wins And they can also see that Ive had 0 losses. Hence, she was undefeated With the addition of her rank, there was basically no oneing in for a decent battle. They must already know that the ze Witchs real name was Katheryn Bt. Not to brag but she was easy enough on the eyes to grant a couple of media appearances and She even had a fan base in other countries. Administrator Fire Sovereign smirks at theirnguor. Yeah. Katheryn silently agreed with her contractor. Damn scaredy cats too scared to take a risk She believed that you always had to take risks to gain anything. When she was a hunter she always took those risky battles and ended up bing an A-rank hunter. Those who don''t can''t get stronger. But she couldn''t stay angry for very long. I guess its about time I head out She was getting bored of waiting around anyway. She had tried to challenge other people, but they always ended up refusing her after seeing her rank and win streak. And then Youve received a challenge. ? And Han Sungyeun Server - Korea Rank - 3 Reward - Skill Demon yer (C-) Wins - 0 Losses - 0 He just got to the arena? Her opponent had neither any wins nor losses. And he still picked me Korea was one of the countries with the highest amount of her fans. Theres no way he couldn''t think of the ze Witch after seeing the name Katheryn Bt But this challenger didn''t seem to care. Interesting. He was probably the most reckless yer shed seen since she entered the tower. Even if his rank was high, it took guts to send her a challenge like that. Han Sungyeun Shed never heard the name before. Korea may not be her home country but she did know a decent amount of A-ranks But she couldn''t even get close to recognizing the name. Ill have to look them up once I go back. She didn''t know who this was, but the fact that he challenged her was extra points in her book. So Katheryn epted his challenge and The battle has been established. Moving to the colosseum. In a blink of an eye, she was transported into the middle of the colosseum. And She was joined by a man covered in a ck robe. Katheryn shed a smile at her challenger and started speaking. I admire your courage for choosing me for your first battle but Challenger Han Sungyeun vs Challenger Katheryn Bt Battle starting. You should have done a bit more research. Think of this as a lesson learned. Activating power Creation of Fire. Explosions erupted from her hands as soon as she stopped speaking and spread fire all around her vicinity. KWAWKWAKAING! Its over. This fire was a power, unmatched by normal magic. She was so sure that the Victory message was going to pop up ? Sssst! Until she saw the blue sword ki splitting her mes in half. What the? Seeing someone fend off her attacks shook Katheryn for a bit, and A lesson, huh? Fzz, fffft The challenger tossed off the half-burnt robe and finally said something Its definitely nothing to scoff at but It was then that she realized who controlled this battlefield. It doesn''t seem like something I can''t deal with. The Korean challenger had already taken over the pace of the battle. Trantor''s notes - Or ask me for rification on our channel in discord! Let this be a lesson for yall Korean servers are op Chapter 65: Arena (3) Chapter 65: Arena (3) In a calm, serene, traditional home Sitting on the wooden awning, a white-haired woman let out a muted smile. To think that he can already use sword ki to this extent It was all due to the challenger being reflected in a small pond in her backyard. Challenger Han Sungyeun He seemed to know exactly what he was capable of doing with his ki as he sliced through the hurling fireballs. She felt immense satisfaction in the fact that he was so masterful with the sword ki. It was a feeling that she hadnt felt since bing the White Crane Sword Saint. You wouldn''t think that this was a mere 10th-floor challenger by looking at him. In some aspects, he even surpassed her previous contractor, Baek Sunhak. I mean, I guess thats how he killed him Of course, Sungyeuns powers were pretty effective against Baek Sunhak But it was still unexpected that he was able to overpower him. Even if she didnt consider Baek Sunhak as a real contractor and just as someone who gave him a couple of powers, he was still a formidable challenger. This challenger is definitely going to get stronger. And in just a bit, hed pass the 30th floor and gain the ability to be an administrator as well. She knew that the moment he beat Baek Sunhak. And thats why she gave him the Sword Ki Master power. Maybe If its him Hed be able to fulfill my desire. Her ck eyes gleamed just at the thought of that. I have to gain more favor from him. If not, I wont be able to ask him to fulfill my desire. Helle up to the 11th floor soon. She mumbled to herself staring at Han Sungyeuns reflection in the pond. Ill have to call him here soon. *** Reaper Scans *** After splitting Katheryns mes with my sword ki Activating the skill Instant eleration. I had to keep jumping around the arena without a second to even catch my breath. After deflecting her first attack, Katherynpletely changed her tempo and started a barrage of attacks. Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 1 minute. Mana cost increases by 2% KRAAA! Shes not even conversing with me anymore. There didnt seem to be an end to the zing balls of fire that kept following him around. Even deflecting them with sword ki had its limits. Dodging her attacks was tough even with Instant eleration activated. I was gonna use the cloak since Winds Blessing was still in cooldown but The first thing she did was burn down my cloak. What should I do? Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch looks at the fire with interest. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint has high expectations for you. Administrator ck Devil bursts out intoughter. These fireballs that were following me around seemed to be a power and The fact that they didn''t stop chasing me until I cut it down was bothersome. It was then Skill Instant eleration (D+)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill Instant eleration (D+) s ranked up. ? Was it because it was one of my main skills? Instant eleration ranked up to D+ and I suddenly sped up. Nice! It was just a slight improvement, but it was a massive relief. With the couple extra seconds, I finally took this time to absorb Baek Sunhaks soul. If I allow an attack from her, it could get consumed as the passive protective ability. Permanently increasing your stats using the Baek Sunhaks soul. Strength increased by 2. Agility increased by 1. Stamina increased by 3. Mana increased by 3. Tenacity increased by 2. As energy flowed through my body with the stat increase, Acquiring one of Baek Sunhaks skills. Oh? Acquiring the skill Lightning Sword Ki (B). Lightning sword ki? I thought back to the moment when Baek Sunhaks sword was enveloped in lightning. The skill seemed to have been canceled at the time, but it looked like I had absorbed it. KRAAANG! I checked the skill as I jumped away from another fireball and Skill - Lighting Sword Ki (B) Proficiency - 0% Exnation - The Flickering Lightning ns signature ability. Basic effect - Lighting imbues itself onto your sword ki. This effect cannot be activated by those who can''t use sword ki. Additional effect - Upon activation, your ability to control the sword ki increases greatly and also allows you to discharge the sword ki. As soon as I read the exnation, I knew. I can discharge the sword ki? I found a way to get out of this inferno. It was then You still have time to get distracted? Katheryns eyes red as she let out another explosion of fire through the palms. VRRRRRRR! Seeing the smoldering waves made the hairs on my back stand up. Can I do this? I was wondering if this lightning ki would be able to get through this fire but Activating the skill Lighting Sword Ki. Well, I didn''t have much of a choice. I could only run for so long. Pzzzzt! The sword ki instantly started thrashing with lightning. Is this what it means to have it imbued with lightning? Not only that, the sword ki now felt as if it was an extension of my body. And I finally realized what the second half of the skill meant. That this overwhelming control of the sword ki would allow me to project where I wanted to. When I swung my sword toward the engulfing me wave Szzzztt! Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is surprised at the use of your sword ki. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch giggles at her contractors aplishment. Administrator ck Devil cannot believe their eyes. The swing cleanly split the wave of fire in half and it didn''t just stop there. It would have reached Katheryn if it hadnt just KRAAA!! Been nullified by the second wave of fire. But that was enough to test the power of this new skill. It matches Triple Laceration in terms of pure firepower Theres no way I could lose with this new skill that upgraded my newly-gained power. No way! How can you even do that with! As Kathyrn Bts blue eyes started wavering, I sent out a barrage of sword ki into the air. Shshshshtt! Seven separate stands of ki branched out like the roots of a tree and Ugh! Katheryn reacted by releasing more mes from her hands. Kwakwakwkaing! As the ki soared through the air, I followed close behind. And Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 2 minutes. Mana cost increases by 4% Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 3 minutes. Mana cost increases by 6% Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 4 minutes. Mana cost increases by 8% My mana circuit was starting to overheat from the overuse of my mana. There was barely any mana for anything else after pouring everything into the sword ki. And if you calcted the amount I was spending on instant eleration, I wasnt going to be able tost much longer. I have to finish this faster. I closed the distance as soon as I finished my calctions. Uh!? Katheryn noticed and tried to step back to send out another explosion but ck! At this range? My de was already on her throat. Normally, I wouldn''t have hesitated to slice her neck off, but I decided against it. The arena wasnt a trial and I felt like I could win the battle without actually killing anyone. The help text did say that the battle would end if one party surrenders. So I wanted to give them an opportunity to give up. I stared straight into her eyes and saw that she also epted her loss. She let out a big sigh while shaking her head. The ability where you threw that projectile were you hiding that the whole time? Did she think I was hiding my full power against her? She scowled at the thought of being ridiculed by me. No, its not like that. I happened to stumble upon it mid-battle. Did your skill evolve while we were fighting? Well, I guess so. Sighhh Of course, that wasn''t exactly what had happened but I don''t think I had to exin that to her. It was then I lost, so Ill surrender, but can I ask you something? ? Why was I the first one you challenged in the arena? Because I thought your skill looked useful. There was no other reason. I wanted the Gust de skill that she put up. I was pretty sure itd be a good catalyst for skillbination. T-thats it? Yeah. Then do you not know who I am? ? I scrunched my face in confusion but finally realized what she was talking about. This blue-eyed beauty was probably a famous hunter in another country. A high-ranked one at that. Unfortunately, I wasn''t very knowledgeable about foreign hunters. I didn''t even know all the A rank hunters in Korea So there was no chance Id know anyone below an S-rank in other countries. And I was busy training all those years. Of course, all that hard work was basically for nothing but Kathryn Maybe Id look her up once I got back. I thought you knew who I was and had an ability that would be effective against me or something She let out a scoff and just stared at me. I didnt think someone would just challenge me just for the reward. Her stare morphed into a semi-re and continued to speak. You said your name was Han Sungyeun? ? Ill go find youter. Just you wait. What the But before I could finish, she muttered something about surrendering under her breath and Challenger Katheryn has surrendered. And she disappeared instantly. Victory. As a reward, you have received the skill Gust de (C+). The battle has ended. You are now being transported back to the 10th-floor arena. She came and left like a hurricane Not only that. Come find me soon I didn''t think there was any malicious intent there but I guess it was more like she saw an interesting animal? Basically, the same emotion that I was feeling right now. Interesting. I guess this skill wasn''t the only thing I gained from this battle. Mc starting a harem now? Chapter 66: Skill Acquisition (1) Chapter 66: Skill Acquisition (1) I was soon transported back from the colosseum. There was essentially no difference from before Id left. The arena was still filled with challengers going wild over cing bets on the battles. But Skill - Gust de (C+) Proficiency - N/A Basic effect - Activates upon rushing forward with a sword and increases the attack speeds of thrusting attacks by 3 times. Additional effect - Upon activation, theres a 30% chance that a thrusting attack is imbued with the wind element and greatly increases movement speed. But that didn''t mean I had nothing to show for it. As I sat there reading the exnation for the skill I had just obtained, my face got darker and darker. I thought it was a sword-rted weapons skill at first, but the exnation didn''t match my expectations. It wasn''t a weapons skill? I mean, it was for purely thrusting attacks. I can''t even grow it because it doesn''t have a proficiency. It was the only one actually worth fighting for but I guess there was a reason she put it up as coteral. And Katheryn Bt was a magician who didn''t use a sword. Hence, it should have been a great skill that she wasn''t verypatible with, but It wasn''t quite what I had expected. But a skill of this rank had to be at least somewhat useful. C+ is higher than what my Instant eleration is at now. And I could potentially use it as a movement skill. I guess that depends on how much my movement speed increases. Well, at the very worst, I could use it tobine with other de-rted skills. That made me feel a little better about not getting a weapons skill. It was then that I remembered what Katheryn had said in the colosseum. She said she was gonnae see meter. I didn''t know what that meant but There wasn''t any malice in her voice so I should just let it be. I can also look her up once I get out too. She seemed really adamant, so she must be pretty famous Lee Hayeon would probably know too. I decided to push that off toter and turned my eyes back to the screen. Han Sungyeun Server - Korea Rank - 3 Wins - 1 Losses - 0 There was a slight update to my profile. 1 win The number was a little too low at the moment. And it wasn''t yet time to leave the arena. Why would I walk away from such a great opportunity to grow? I wasn''t that foolish. Katheryn Bt was definitely a strong enough opponent who was worthy of her ranking but I still would have ended up winning the battle even if I hadnt learned the Lightning Sword Ki mid-fight. And I was sure that I wouldn''t lose to anyone weaker than her. So Time to farm some skills. The battle has been established. Moving to the colosseum. *** Reaper Scans *** Challenger Han Sungyeun vs Challenger Owaki Yuji Battle starting. Unlike Katheryn, who was from the American server, this challenger was from Japan. Owaki Yuji? The shoulder armor and the long spear gave away that he was a spear user, but He doesnt seem like a very good one. Maybe it was because Id just learned Demon yer, but I could tell that he was full of blindspots. That meant his weapons skill wasnt even a C- rank This is what 11th is like in the Japan servers? It was almost ridiculous. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch predicts a boring match. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint critiques his stance with the spear. Administrator ck Devil smiles slyly at the thought of a total massacre. The administrators seemed to share a simr sentiment. But my opponent didn''t seem to realize and put on a haughty face. I was excited to go up against the 3rd ranked Korean challenger but my expectations might have been too high. When I heard that, I couldn''t help butugh. Why are you smiling? Because its funny. ? I didn''t think wed have the exact same thought. He seemed to take offense to thatment and red at me. You think you can reach my level with that equipm!? Then Activating the skill Instant eleration. Kwaaaang! I activated my skill instead of letting the conversation continue and I kicked off the ground and dashed forward while thrusting my sword toward Yuji. And at the same time Activating the skill Gust de (C+). Skill Gust de (C+) imbues wind element into the de. Not only did the skill activate, but the 30% chance for the extra wind effect had also activated. Fwooosh! What the!? When Yuji realized this battle could be over in a single blow, he started to move more rapidly. Shield of Origin! He raised his empty left hand and shouted those words. Fwuaa! A thin yellow barrier spread out in a circle and covered the challengers body. Thats probably the skill he staked as his penalty, Shield of Origin (D-). But Activating the power Sword Ki Master. Activating the skill Lightning Sword Ki. Kwaaaaaaang! The lightningbined with the wind, pierced through his barrier easily, and A-aghhh! The best he could do was give up his shoulder. He stumbled a couple of steps back with a pierced shoulder. S-surrender! Challenger Owaki Yuji surrendered. His body disappeared as soon as he surrendered and Victory. As a reward, you have received the skill Shield of Origin (D-). The battle has ended. You are now being transported back to the 10th-floor arena. I had another victory reward in my hands. Skill - Shield of Origin (D-) Proficiency - N/A Basic effect - Upon dering the skill name, you can summon a shield formed with mana. Additional effect - The size and strength of the shield depend on how much mana you put in it. I had already gotten my second win in the arena. *** I continued to challenge a bunch of people and won battle after battle. America, Japan, Russia, China, Germany I challenged people from all over the world non-stop. Of course, not everyone epted my challenge, but I still got a lot out of them. After winning 3 more times Battle Meister achievement was unlocked. Strength increased by 2. The 5th win even gave me an achievement. After getting back to the arena, it was time to check my spoils of war. Skill - Silent Step (E-) Proficiency - N/A Effect - Able to move without making any noise. This was the skill I got on my third win but There wasnt really a good exnation nor was the ability that special. And it didn''t even have a proficiency. I guess its not that bad of an ability but It wasnt that helpful to me. Ill hold onto it and maybe use it tobine it with somethingter. Skill - Chaotic Onught (D) Proficiency - N/A Effect- Upon dering the skill name, you can increase your attack speed by 2 times. However, if this effect is stacked with another attack speed buff, it is reduced to 1.35 times. This one seems better than others. Any sort of attack speed increase worked really well with my fighting style. Of course, this skill would be weakened when I used it with my other abilities, but Its better than nothing. Skill - Unrelenting Barrier (E-) Proficiency - N/A Basic effect - Upon dering the skill name, you can form a shield in the direction you are looking in. Additional effect - Attacks thate into contact with the barrier are weakened by 15%. Thest skill was pretty simr to the Shield of Origin skill that I got before. But none of these skills have potential to grow. That was probably the biggest letdown. Well I guess thats not too important since theyll just bebination material. The problem was not with the quality of skills but the quantity. Id like more simr skills so the chances of it ranking up goes up but I havent gotten enough skills and they didn''t seem that great to bebined together. I was nning to collect more, but people kept rejecting my challenges now Even while taking the risk of exposing my rank and identity, no one wanted to fight me. Hm Maybe it was finally time to leave the arena. Wait, maybe? Either I was the dumbest human alive or Im a genius. If I have to expose my name and rank anyway, why would I do it one at a time? People like Katheryn Bet and Owaki Yuji were receiving challenges. I can just put something up as coteral and wait for the challenges to start flooding in Ill have to entice them with something. I clicked on the screen and Serenity Grade: C- You are able to make a logical judgment no matter the situation. Status ailments like fear or confusion are reduced duringbat and allow for more immersivebat.] I put up a power unlike anything else on the listing. My name and rank would be posted but Victory reward - Power Serenity (C-) People would pay more attention to the reward I put up. And the effectiveness of this bait was Challenger Mochiyama Yachiha challenges you to a battle. Challenger Carol Vega challenges you to a... Challenger Lee Jincheul challen... Nice. Far more effective than I had hoped. Mc is a master baiter Chapter 67: Skill Acquisition (2) Chapter 67: Skill Acquisition (2) Murim. A ce where those whose interactions begin and end with martial arts resided. Or is it more urate to say that they convinced others of their virtues through their martial arts? A world where people conveyed information or proved themselves using simple martial strength. Each individual trained to survive in the world where the weak fall prey to the strong. But no matter which world youre in, theres always someone who stands out. Even the martial artists who cared for nothing except strength had organizations and respective leaders. The three most notable ones were the Murim Alliance, Dark Society, and Heavenly Demon Cult. The Murim Alliance was not a small organization and was made of dozens of different factions. It was supported in particr by the pirs the Nine ns, One Sect and the Five Great Houses. But The pirs that supported the Murim alliance were starting to fall apart. It was due to the fact that one of the elders of the Murim Alliance had disappeared. The news of his disappearance spread like wildfire. The Namgoong House of the Five Great Houses was not an exception to this. Grand elder Baek Sunhak seems to be untrackable at the moment. A man wearing a teal gi reported. And From the Flickering Lighting n? The sessor to the Namgoong family, Nam Goonghyuk, questioned back inquisitively. Yes, sir. I recently heard he was attempting an intrusion in the tower. And he hasnte back even though he was supposed to have been back a while ago. Is his ranking in the tower gone now? Yes, grand elder Baek Sunhaks rankingpletely disappeared. After hearing the report, Nam Goonghyuk narrowed his eyes and started to tap the arm of his chair. Hm. Knowing that he only did this when in deep thought, the man continued to speak. We can never be 100% sure, but the other elders believe that he may be dead as well. Makes sense. Thats the only reason his name would be gone from the rankings. But it doesn''t make sense. Where could he have intruded to lose his life like that? Considering how careful he is, he probably didn''t intrude anyone from Murim as it could have political consequences. We think so too. He probably went to a different world. Well Im not sure which world he went to, but its interesting that he ended up dying on a lower floor. The man seemed to hesitate for a moment and started talking again. Hmm Well, I guess this isnt bad news for us. Since one of the representatives of the Flickering Lightning n died, we might be able to submit someone we sponsor as a recement. Probably. But I am a little curious. ? Baek Sunhak may be petty, but he rose to the ranks of a grand elder on pure skill. Even if he did lose all his power, isnt it interesting that he lost to a challenger of a lower floor? Maybe. The tower does provide dark arts-like skills to all the challengers. I guess he could have let his guard down. Well, thats probably not wrong but He trailed off and smiled slightly. Im curious to see who exactly killed Baek Sunhak. Meaning? Spare no resources to find the person who killed Baek Sunhak and bring him to me. Yessir. The man in the gi bowed his head to show respect. At the same time, the man felt a little sympathy for this mystery killer. Nam Goonghyuk was a true martial artist who felt joy from destroying other martial artists. This mystery challenger from another world would obviously peak his interest. He couldn''t easily kill people from this world because of his position in the family and the political discourse it would create but Challengers from another world are a different story. The man mumbled to himself as he walked out of the office. Its been a while since thest bloodbath. Heavenly Azure Dragon, Nam Goonghyuk. The dragon of the Namgoong family was making his way back into the tower for the first time in 5 years. *** The victories were non-stop after the power was up for grabs. yers saw the power and challenged me in hopes of maybe being able to win it. As a result, I ended up stacking up quite a bit of a collection tobine with. Of course Now that my name is pretty well known, people are shying away from challenging me again. They probably realized that I wasnt an easy target. Too bad. I even revealed my actual name for this. To be fair, I did squeeze every possible drop I could from this. And I wasn''t the only one who thought this way. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch wants more out of the arena. The reason was clear. The number of skills I had obtained here wasparable to the ones Id gained my entire journey here. I walked out after determining that there was nothing more to be gained here. And Interesting. I stared at the darkness covering the sky and admired it. Who would have guessed that night time existed in the public area? The stars shone through the darkness as if they were trying to appeal their existence to me. I guess this is better than it always being day. With a smile, I started walking away from the arena. Since my business with the arena was done, I wanted to check out some of the other things I could do here. The auction house, casino, marketce, etc There were still a lot of things I hadnt experienced in the public area, but I didn''t have the energy to go visit all of them. Obviously. How could I not be tired after spending all day fighting in the arena? My body was about to give out after the dozens of battles Id just been in. Ill just go see whats there. I didnt really have a n so I first strolled around the za. As I took a look around, I noticed that there were a lot of challengers talking to each other and exchanging information. Using the public area for what it was actually intended for. I guess Im the weird one for spending the whole time fighting when were not even in trial. In the middle of my walk, I came across a sudden thought. My name being revealed might be a hassle back on Earth. Just the thought of my name being brought up in themunity was already annoying me. But Its not like they can use it to harm me. I wasnt scared of anything they could do, nor was I weak enough to take it lying down. Not after everything I went through to get here. Thinking back, I sure had gone through a lot since I got to the tower. I killed another human being for the first time and found out what it meant to get stronger. My life that stagnated for 7 years faced rapid growth as soon as I entered this tower. And now, I knew who I was and why I wanted to get stronger. I was tired of being looked down upon. I knew how it felt to be powerless in the face of true strength. Whether it was in real life or the tower, the weak always get trampled on. In conclusion? I have to get stronger if I want to survive. I wasnt climbing the tower to blindly get stronger. If I was strong as I am now when the dungeon break happened, my parents would still be alive. I was weak then, and paid the price for it. And Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is confused at the silent walk. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint enjoys this aspect of you as well. Administrator ck Devil yawns at you being deep in thought. I had to learn what exactly these administrators wanted. The more administrators that took a liking to me, the more powers Id be sponsored with. First Ill have to go back to the waiting area. It was time to make use of the skills I got from the arena. Mc almost done going through puberty Chapter 68: Skill Acquisition (3) Chapter 68: Skill Acquisition (3) I came back to the waiting area after saying farewell to the administrators that were watching me. You have entered the 10th floor waiting room. But it wasnt yet time to startbining skills. Contract marketce. Contract Exclusive Marketce SP - 500 Category: Skills Category: Powers Category: Items Contractor: Iron-blooded Monarch Note: Administrator Iron-blooded Monarchs first contractor. I first wanted to check the details of my newly received power. Category: Powers Listing (2/3) Power: Bone Reconstruction (C+) Power: Iron-blooded Sword (A-) Power: Hand of Death (B-) Power: Wings of Steel (C+) I was able to find it after navigating to the second page. Power: Wings of Steel (C+) Price: 1,500 SP Exnation: A power that allows you to create wings of steel using mana. The steel wings give you the ability to fly at high speeds. To sustain the wings, you need a constant supply of mana, and the wings automatically disappear if you run out of mana. Its cheaper than I thought. I thought it would be more expensive since it gave you the ability to fly I guess they didnt give me that good of a power. Im sure the abilities would work exceptionally well since it was still a power, but the fact that it needed constant mana concerned me. As if sword ki master wasn''t already draining enough. I guess fighting in the air won''t be possible. Even if it was, Id only be able to support it for a short period of time. I only have so much mana and a limited number of ways to recharge it. Of course I don''t even have enough SP to buy it yet. I had to be satisfied with just being able to see the exnation for it. No matter the mana cost, being able to fly had its merits. The exnation mentioned that you were able to fly at high speeds. That could potentially help you get out of range for certain attacks. It would definitelye in handy someday. Im going to need a way to get more SP on the 11th floor. Or else I wouldn''t be able to get any of the powers that the Iron-blooded Monarch gave to me. Ill get the wings first, then the iron-blooded sword. Since the sword Id summon would get stronger as I got stronger, it would eliminate the need for me to keep buying better swords. That alone makes it deserving of the A- grade. But that wasnt something I could get right now. And I probably won''t be able to afford it even after I clear the 11th trial Since that was a problem forter, I shifted my attention to something else. *** Reaper Scans *** It was time to startbining some of the skills I got from the arena. One of the ways I chose challenges to ept was by seeing howpatible the skills were to some of my existing ones. That way, Id be able tobine simr skills together and actually get something Id use. A lot of the skills didnt look very enticing on their own due to growth penalties or low ranks but Hm That wasnt something I couldn''t solve bybining them though. I think I''ll start out bybining all the defensive skills. I cant just rely on the necromancy shield forever. And I didn''t want to identally consume a soul because I couldn''t block an attack. I needed some sort of frontline defense in case I couldn''t use up all my souls. I decided to use the shield skill I got from the Japanese challenger Owaki Yuji as the core. Skill - Shield of Origin (D-) Proficiency - N/A Basic effect - Upon dering the skill name, you can summon a shield formed with mana. Additional effect - The size and strength of the shield depend on how much mana you put in it. The evocation and effect couldn''t be simpler even if I wanted And thats what makes it a great base. Activating the innate power Skill Combination. Listing the avable skills. I already knew which one I wanted to start with. Skill - Boulders Form (E) Proficiency - N/A Basic Effect - Natural tenacity of your body increases and allows you to further harden parts of your body. Additional Effect - The effect does not apply if your tenacity is already higher than that of a boulder. I initially liked the sound of the skill but was disappointed to find out it was a trash skill. But it was still in the realm of defensive skills and should work well with the shields. Even if its not necessarily a shield skill And The two skills are unequal in rank. Skillbination will start with Shield of Origin as the core. Current probability for a high tier skill is 75% Not bad. Combinationplete. New skill generated. Oh. And I smiled at the result of thebination. Skill - Boulder Shield (D+) Proficiency - 0% Basic Effect - Evoking the skill name creates a green shield using mana. Additional Effect - The size and strength of the shield depend on how much mana you put in it. After a certain amount of mana spent, the shield is strengthened by 1.25 times. There were a couple of changes, but the nature of the skill didnt stray too far from the Shield of Origin. And It took on the extra defensive capabilities from Boulders Form. Not just that, the proficiency was now 0%. That meant this skill now had potential to grow. I was correct to choose this as my innate power. There were a couple of F- rank skills that I couldn''t even use tobine with this, so I had to organize my list. Most of the F- rank skillsbined into decent E rank skills. And theyre mostly defensive skills still, so Ill just grind them into each other again. Combinationplete. New skill generated. And the process was smoother than I expected. Skill - Purity Shield (C-) Proficiency - 0% Basic Effect - Evoking the skill name creates a shield of light using mana. Additional Effect - The size and strength of the shield depend on how much mana you put in it. After a certain amount of mana spent, the shield is strengthened by 1.2 times. Sometimes it was a slight change of name and proportions. Skill - Mirror Shield (C+) Proficiency - 0% Basic Effect - Evoking the skill name creates a mirror shield using mana. Additional Effect - The size and strength of the shield depend on how much mana you put in it. The created shield can reflect 10% of the taken damage. Sometimes an entirely new effect reced an existing effect. Skill - Counter Shield (B) Proficiency - 0% Basic Effect - Evoking the skill name creates a red shield using mana. Additional Effect - The size and strength of the shield depend on how much mana you put in it. The created shield can reflect 25% of the taken damage and as long as the shield doesn''t break, you can store that taken damage and release it all at once. Sometimes an additional effect was strengthened. This might be the best one yet. I stared at the exnation of the newly formed skill and thinned my eyes. It doesnt seem as efficient as Ashen Blood but They were about the same rank, but Ashen Blood seemed to be much superior. Of course, being able to reflect 25% of damage taken was a huge perk. Ashen Blood can only be used defensively, but this works both ways. I decided to rationalize it by thinking that they both served different purposes. Activating the skill Counter Shield. I focused slightly and the skill activated. Keeng. Ooh. The skill activated easily without me having said the name out loud. It was like the times I activated the Eye of Truth without saying the skill name. I should be able to do it with other skills with enough training too. It would take some time before I could use it like this in battle but This kind of quick casting had its merits. I determined that the best course of action now was to start training, and I stared at the shield hovering in front of my palm. The shield had a faint red light around it and was emitting a fluorescent red fog of mana. I guess it does seem worthy of being a B rank skill. Toong. I lightly tapped the shield with my right hand, and the hardness was impressive. Like it would be able tost a couple of genuine punches from me if I put a little more mana into it? After examining the skill, I came to a conclusion. I think I should be good for the 11th trial I hope mc activates his trap card Chapter 69: Skill Acquisition (4) Chapter 69: Skill Acquisition (4) [Proofreader C DVN-L ] *** Combinationplete. New skill generated. Once Combinationplete. New skill generated. Twice Combinationplete. New skill generated. Three times The footwork-type skill is nowplete with this. The finished result after three skillbinations was quite pleasing. Skill - ndestine Shadow''s Step(C+) Proficiency - 0% Basic Effect - The user''s presencepletely disappears from their footsteps, and the way the user walks is effectively restructured. Additional Effect - Movement speed is increased by 30% when walking in dark ces, and when stepping on the shadow of a creature, strength is amplified by 3. First of all, I liked that it increases the movement speed by 30%, but what caught my attention was the fact that the strength stat was amplified when stepping on the shadow of a living creature. It basically means my attacking ability bes stronger when I catch them with their back turned. Of course, the situations in which it could be used were limited, but it was surprising that the strength could be amplified by 3. Because an increase in strength meant that attack power would be stronger. All that was left was the skill rted to attack speed that could be activated based on Chaotic Onught. I immediately activated the skillbination, and in addition to Chaotic Onught, I selected all the skills to bebined. Skill - Light-emitting Sword (E+) Proficiency - N/A Effect - Upon dering the skill name, attack speed increases by 1.25x and the sword weapon shines. It was a skill of a slightly higher rank to recklessly use forbining, but it didnt feel like a waste. Typically, I wouldnt have used it forbining if this skills sword weapon shines had any special effect Unfortunately, it just seems like theres nothing special with the light. It was only an ability to simply decorate the weapon, so I had no choice but to use it for skillbination in the end. The two skills arent identical in rank. Skill Chaotic Onught will be the core of thebination. And Skillbination will start with Chaotic Onught as the core. Current probability for a high tier skill is 93% Oh, it looks like thepatibility of the skills is good. After seeing the messages that were disyed, I immediately proceeded with skillbination. Combinationplete. New skill generated. Seeing those messages, I immediately checked the skill I had acquired. Skill - Chaotic Sword-fighting y (C+) Proficiency - 0% Basic Effect - When swinging a sword, the de glows red and attack speed increases by 2%. This effect can be stacked up to 10 times in total. Additional Effect - When the attack speed of the sword increases until thest stack, the attack speed is additionally increased by 5%. However, if the user doesn''t immediately link the attack, the gathered stacks are initialized. A type of skill that could stack like Winds Blessing(A-) had been generated. As I looked at the description of the skill, I soon admitted it. Should I say, as expected from Skill Combination? The skills I had just acquired were great enough that it wasnt a waste tobine all the skills I got from the public area. Even now, the ability to frantically increase attack speed by stacking like Chaotic Sword-fighting y was inevitably useful in many ways. The higher the skill proficiency, the better the ability will be. Moreover, this was true not only for this Chaotic Sword-fighting y, but also for the ndestine Shadows Step I had just generated. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that both of them had an overwhelming abilitypared to their skill ranks. Of course Thanks to that, I almost lost all the skills I had won from the arena, though. It took quite a lot of skills tobine to attain such an excellent skill. Excluding the Gust de skill that I got from Katheryn Bt, the skills Id acquired in the public area had been synthesized into three. Counter Shield. Chaotic Sword-fighting y. ndestine Shadow''s Step. All of them were rare skills that exceeded C+ level, so it wasnt a waste to consume quite a lot of skills. Rather, it was safe to say that I was lucky since I was able to make these skills with the ones Id acquired in the public area. So I had to make a decision soon. I guess Ill have to dy going back to the real world. It was the same when I checked Counter Shield by myself, but afterbining all the remaining skills, I think that Ill definitely be able to clear the 11th floor. It wasnt a groundless idea. I acquired a whopping two C+ rank skills, and even Counter Shield had a higher skill level than the Ashen Blood skill Id previously acquired. In other words, I didnt think itd be difficult to go to the 11th floor, as not only had my abilities increased that much, but all of them were also of a high level. In the end, after giving it some time to think, I came to a conclusion. Itll be fine if I get to the 11th floor as quickly as possible. I changed my mind. Instead of returning immediately, I decided to go up to the waiting room on the 11th floor and then return to the real world. Having decided like that, there was nothing to think about and prepare for. It was because I didnt think I needed to buy more items at the moment, and even if I didnt have such things, I figured that my skills were enough to cover them. Do you ept the 10th floor trial? Without thinking about that matter more, I immediately responded to the trial on the 10th floor and stepped into the portal that appeared in front of me without hesitation. And Entering Tower of Trials 10th floor. Difficulty - Hard The objective of the following trial is ''cooperation. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. Cooperation, huh.. Seeing the next message that appeared, I clenched the sword in my hand tightly. The 10th floor trial is starting. Remaining time - 3 hours Trial sess condition - Subdue the boss monster cooperatively within the remaining time. Trial fail condition - Teammate''s death or end of remaining time. Trial sess reward - Skill Proficiency Potion (B+) Trial fail penalty - Death After reading this far, I understood what the structure of the trial of the 10th floor was. Its been so long since I did abined trial. It was abined trial with other challengers. Chapter 70: Trial of the 10th Floor Chapter 70: Trial of the 10th Floor Chapter 70: Trial of the 10th Floor (1) The 10th floor trial is starting. Remaining time - 3 hours Trial sess condition - Subdue the boss monster cooperatively within the remaining time. Trial fail condition - Teammate''s death or end of remaining time. Trial sess reward - Skill Proficiency Potion (B+) Trial fail penalty - Death Seeing the messages flooding the air, I immediately began to look around. The moonlight was shining brightly on the area, which reminded me of an empty field. Seeing that theres no enemy despite it being a trial of subjugation, I instantly noticed that the enemy would appear only after the team members appeared. And Team members are assigned ording to the evaluation rankings. Youll get a 30-minute grace period after the team members are assigned. During this grace period, the remaining time wont pass and you can have an extended time to meet between the challengers. In the meantime, please prepare as much as possible cooperatively and subdue the boss monster. Turned out just as I expected. A system message popped out as though what I thought was the correct answer. It was then The team members are now assigned. Evaluation rankings of the assigned team members will be listed. Whirrr.! Three portals were created a short distance away, and challengers appeared from there. Evaluation Ranking 1st, Kim Seunghoon The first to appear was a challenger wearing a ck mask and putting a hammer on his shoulder Anotherbined trial, huh What a pain in the ass. Evaluation Ranking 2nd, Oh Choonsuk The second person was a challenger with a skinny physique and a unique sullen face. Huh? Why, Seunghoon Hyungnim, you were also climbing the tower? Evaluation Ranking 6th, Headygongdu The third and final person to appear was a bizarrely-dressed challenger in a red suit. Oh Haha, everyone is a ranker here. Nice to meet you. Perhaps all the team members appeared since no portals appeared after that, and Evaluation Rankings also stopped listing. I looked at them and narrowed my eyes in surprise. Team members are assigned ording to the Evaluation Rankings, I see To think that all the challengers at the top of the Korean server Evaluation Ranking appeared. As I was feeling surprised, Kim Seunghoon opened his mouth while fiddling with his ck mask. I dont think theres anything to say during the 30-minute grace period. He had a slightly arrogant attitude, but I figured at once that his words contained various meanings. Since wed alle this far, there was probably not much we needed to know about each other, and we just needed to clear the trial properly. As expected from the first of the Evaluation Ranking, he quickly grasped the situation, and he knew how to draw the line appropriately. Wearing a ck mask and holding a hammer Needless to mention about hisbat power, I had an impression that hed be on the top of the challengers of the current tower. Well, I mean, thats probably why he can proudly present his real name even if hes the number one. Just then. Uh I also agree with Seunghoon Hyungnim. I dont think theres much to talk about. Btedly, with Kim Seunghoons words, Oh Choonsuk also agreed and lightly stepped back. He doesnt really look like second ce in the Evaluation Ranking. Should I say he looks slightly more naive contrary to his looks? Not befitting the Evaluation Rankings, he seemed to be unable to assert himself at all, and he had a somewhat more timid impression. asionally, I saw them fussing about the only ranker who was originally an ordinary citizen in the messages, and I thought that might be the case. And Well, since you guys are all rankers, you can probably act on your own. I have no objections. Finally, the challenger who uses the nickname Headygongdu also meekly epted the word. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people withmon sense. Maybe its because of the high Evaluation Ranking. I thought that there might be some people whod like to go on a rampage like in the 6th floor or in the public area But it was a pretty good situation for me because no one seemed to have their personality worn out to that extent, and they only had one goal in their mind, which was to clear the trial together. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch tilts her head at the surprisingly easy-going situation. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint pouts at the unnecessary peace. Of course, the two administrators who immediately started observing me as soon as I entered the Trial didnt seem to like it. I agr It was then, when I was about to agree with his statement while feeling a sense of relief By the way Apart from not having any objections, I have something I want to ask you all. All of a sudden, HeadyGongdu cut me off and started talking about something else. Dont tell me, you guys will all stay still just because the theme of the trial is [Cooperation]? It was Kim Seunghoon with a ck mask, who was the first to respond to those words. What do you mean by that? HeadyGongdu smiled and continued talking, as Seunghoon was looking at him as though he was asking for further exnation. Im meaning it literally. The theme of the Trial is definitely [Cooperation]. All we have to do is team up along with the challengers and defeat the boss monster Yes, its a theme thats not apetition. But does that mean that the next trial will be the same? With those words, Oh Choonseok rubbed his chin and then answered while shaking his head. Mm Probably not. Since the theme of each trial changes in the Tower of Trials. Exactly. Did you see the message that just appeared? It mentioned that the team members are assigned ording to the Evaluation Rankings. This means that from now on, the level of thebined trial will change ording to the Evaluation Ranking. Dont you get it? This means that everyone is also a potentialpetitor. What are you At the same time, as Oh Choonseok frowned, Headygongdu said as though assuring him. Ah, of course, that probably doesnt apply to you, Oh Choonseok-ssi. As well as Kim Seunghoon-ssi. You two seem to be friendly with each other, making it even more so. Theres no need for you guys to fight, as youll cooperate to some extent in other trials too. But however HeadyGongdu said so, and then continued with a fishy smile. And Wouldnt it be a little different for Hunter, 3rd ce in the Evaluation Ranking? After he finished speaking, I had no choice but to stiffen my face. *** Reaper Scans ****** For Kim Seungjun, deceiving others was a daily thing. To provoke a fight with others with the fact thats not deceiving was the best way for him to survive. His way of life didnt change from when he was young until he worked as a C-Rank hunter. He falsely divided the team so that someone couldnt receive the reward that was supposed to be shared for him to get a bigger share. When he found a way to join a good guild, he drove his fellow teammates to another ce and even went in by himself. Dont they say that by nature, humans are more prone to being deceived by the lies they hear from others than the truth in front of them? Others'' fighting had always benefited him. And it could also be used in a foreign ce called the Tower of Trials. After starting to use the nickname HeadyGongdu, he prevented information from being shared by encouraging quarrels between challengers as much as possible through themunity function. Thanks to this, Kim Seungjun took advantage of theck of interaction between challengers for a long time and benefited greatly from thebined trials and personal trials. And it was the same in thebined trial on the 10th floor. Administrator ''Deceitful Clown'' smiles with his lips torn off at the contractors deception. HeadyGong, no, Kim Seungjun enjoyed the atmosphere that turned cold andughed inwardly. I cant stop doing this because of this. The pleasure rushed in to see the hardened face of everyone as though they had never thought of it. Administrator ''Master of duel'' frowns at your speaking skills. Administrator ''Seeker of Deception'' Looks at your deceitful act with pleasure. Administrator ''The one gazes at darkness'' Comments on your actions as a unique survival technique. Even the administrators who had been watching began to have an interest in him. Of course, there was one administrator who didnt really like him, but In any case, seeing the Deceitful Clown, the administrator that Kim Seungjun signed a contract with, was having fun, so it wasnt a bad reaction. Maybe I can get a new power if I make the situation a little more interesting? Thinking those made him excited and even made Kim Seungjuns mouth lighter at once. He nced at the messages floating in the air, then turned his head to look at Hunter Han Sungyeun on the other side. Looking at his face stiffened up, he must be bewildered. King Seungjun knew him well as he recently acquired his skills through all kinds of duels while revealing his name in the public area. He was a person who took out powers in the public area and acquired numerous skills through all kinds of duels using it as bait. He felt more hostile towards him because he had seen the scene in real-time in the public area as well as in the chat room. This bastard will be insanely strong if I let him be any longer If he climbed the tower a little more, Han Sungyeun could be stronger andtere up as a threat to Kim Seungjun in thebined trials. Therefore, Kim Seungjun thought that he needed to get rid of Han Sungyeun as soon as possible in this 10th floorbined Trial. Of course, if he was alone, it wouldve been different rather than provoking a quarrel with Han Sungyeun, but The Hunter, who always hid himself without even chatting, is quite famous these days. Not only did he gain skills by betting his power in the arena, but he was always part of the rankings in the trial evaluations, so I always observed him with interest. Currently, in thisbined trial, in addition to Kim Seunghoon, the first ce in the Evaluation ranking, Oh Choonseok, the second ce was also here. Which meant? That Kim Seungjun could kill Han Sungyeun depending on how he yed the game. You mustve acquired quite a number of skills already I dont know about the cooperative-themed trials, but what about other trials? Can you guarantee that you wont be a threat to Seunghoon, or Choonseok? No, right? Kim Seungjun used exaggerated gestures as much as possible, acting as though they had to get rid of him immediately. However So you were the one who was acting up on the 4th floorbined trial. Kim Seunghoon, who was quietly listening to him, said that as if he was dumbfounded. Was it Kim Seungjun or something, who said thatpetition was essential for the 4th floorbined trial? If you like moving your mouth that much, I rmend you do it in front of a mirror. Haha, how could you put it like It doesnt matter whether you kill the other challengers or not, but youd better not involve me in it. When Kim Seunghoon finished his words to that point, Oh Choonseok said as though adding to it. Uh, mm I agree with Seunghoon Hyungnims idea. I dont really want to fight that much. What are you talking about? If we can get rid of the hunter here then! But in the end, I dont think that has anything to do with me. What? What do you mean? Ultimately, I think you just dont have to climb the tower if youre not even sure of that. Kim Seungjun then felt that something was going wrong and started to drip cold sweat. Administrator ''Deceitful Clown'' clicks his tongue at the contractors clumsiness. Administrator ''Master of Duel''ughs at your speaking skills. Administrator ''Seeker of Deception'' Enjoys the result of your deceitful act with pleasure. Administrator ''The one gazes at darkness'' scoffs at the result of your unique survival technique. Fuck I think Im kinda fucked. But he somehow kept hisposure and continued his words. I have a special skill. Im sure we can kill him easily. When we kill him, Ill give up all the remaining equipment. How does that sound? In addition, Ill share with you all the information that I have gathered through questioning the admin. It was to somehow make them agree to kill Han Sungyeun together. But at those words, everyone remained motionless and stared at Kim Seungjun silently. And Then, are you done talking? A man who had kept his mouth shut till now opened his mouth in a silent field. You were bbering something quite interesting I wonder how youll take responsibility for that. It was Han Sungyeun. Chapter 71: Trial of the 10th floor (2) Chapter 71: Trial of the 10th floor (2) Chapter 71: Trial of the 10th floor (2) I looked at the bewildered man with a cold smile. This man, who was ranked 6th in the evaluation rankings, was the one I saw when I was in the waiting room on the 4th floor. Im sure his real name was Kim Seungjun I didnt forget that he was also the one who suddenly froze themunity by emphasizing that the theme of the 4th-floor trial was petition. Of course, thanks to that, I was able to prepare for the shock of homicide a little, but Now I understand his purpose in telling the theme of the trial. The challenger right in front of me didnt tell us about the trial ofpetition with pure intentions. It mustve been just to create a situation where he could gain the most benefit by actively forming apetitive structure. What prepared me for homicide in the process was simply the additional factor I had obtained using his constructed situation. In other words, there was no reason for me to be silent about Kim Seungjuns asshole behavior. And Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is furious with the one who tried to harm her contractor. Administrator Gluttony tilts his head, wondering whats going on. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is looking forward to your refreshing move. Even the administrators who started watching me all of a sudden seemed to dislike Kim Seungjun, so I had no reason to hesitate anymore. I red at Kim Seungjun, who looked at me with his mouth tightly shut and smiled softly. Kim Seungjun-ssi. I continued watching Kim Seungjun flinch and step back at my words to him. The things you were bbering just now were quite interesting. Although it was a cooperative theme, the statement he said that they should cooperate and kill me because we could bepetitors in the future was interesting. It was even more interesting since, for one moment, it pressured me to the point that I had to ponder over whether I could kill all three of them together. However, Kim Seungjun had a lukewarm attitude, perhaps thinking it wasnt much of a big deal. T-Thats.. I can exin it through conversa No, No. How could you exin it through conversation at this moment. Didnt you bber it that way since you had enough strength to handle what youve said? But how could you talk like a bitch there, saying things like exining it through conversation? When I added those words, I could see Kim Seungjuns eyes shaking rapidly. It was understandable. Most of the challengersbat abilities got stronger in proportion to their Evaluation Rankings. But Kim Seungjuns Evaluation ranking was 6th, and I was in 3rd ce, which was higher than that, so It was easy to predict that the pressure Kim Seungjun felt right now would be severe because of the two challengers who had dered that they wouldnt interfere. However, just like a bug that acts desperately when theyre cornered, Kim Seungjun was no different. He looked at me slowly approaching him and opened his mouth as though frightened and began to speak. P-Please wait a minute! Calm down and think about it! Itll be a loss for both of us if we fight against each other! ? Are you really sure that the two behind us wont attack!? Even if I look like this, Im also 6th ce in the Evaluation ranking. I wont just stay still if Im attacked, which will damage you, Han Sungyeun-nim. So what? What Im saying is that If they take the advantage and break in to kill both of us, theres no other ending thats worse than that. At those words, Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonseok frowned as though they were dumbfounded, but Kim Seungjun nced at them and continued his words with a sullen smile as though he didnt care at all. Even if we fight and waste our strength, well have to endure the trial of the 10th floor, so there would be nothing good for you, Hang Sungyeun-nim. Theres a chance that those two might attack you. Even if thats not the case, the trial of the 10th floor might be harder than you think, and you could be fatally injured from the wounds umted on your bo It was just all disgusting words to hear. I dont know why youre talking about this bullshit for so long. What do you In the end, I think youre speaking under the assumption that Ill receive a lot of damage But thats ridiculous. To take a lot of damage from a guy whos just all talk, and to get marked by other challengers because of that. It was a story that would make even a passing dogugh. When I sarcastically said so, Kim Seungjun took a fighting stance as if he got the idea of what was going to happen. A book that spread purple energy suddenly appeared in the empty air. He took an item out from the inventory in preparation for a fight. Flutter! The book held in Kim Seungjuns right hand opened by itself and began to spread out intense energy. He started shouting only then, wiping out all the manners he had while making a bloody smile. You fucking bastard It looks like you dont understand because Im saying it nicely, but its not just you whos known for something, but Im also!? *** Reaper Scans *** However, Kim Seungjuns words couldnt be continued further and had to be cut off, as if he was in shock. Activating the skill Instant eleration. This was because I activated the Instant eleration that ranked up in the duel with Katheryn Bt and began to seriously rush toward him. Of course The wind of the swamp spirit wraps around the users feet. Temporarily sealing the eleration that uses mana. As Kim Seungjun didnt just climb the tower for nothing he sealed off my feet, which he judged as a threat. But even if he did, I had already prepared for such weakening abilities a long time ago. Activating the skill Mana Resistance. The wind of the swamp spiritpletely disappears. Without even having to use a skill such as Forceful Breakthrough, I immediately regained my speed by the Mana Resistance only. No way, what kind of insane Mana resistance is th! At the same time, while Kim Seungjun was spitting out hisint, I was able to reach right in front of him and Crunch. The moment I arrived in front of him, I kicked Kim Seungjuns stomach without hesitation. The reason why I didnt use my sword right away was to see the hidden card that Kim Seungjun was hiding. Just in case, since there would be nothing moreplicated than getting attacked during that gap after him blocking my sword. m! A loud sound echoed from the ce where my feet were stuck, and Kim Seungjuns body flew backward, but K-Kuhughh! Seemingly, he looked slightly shocked, but it didnt seem like he had received that much damage in reality. Kim Seungjun, who flew backward, groaned and red at me without falling to the floor. Well, since Kim Seungjun was drooling a little bit, it didnt feel like a threat even if I received those res. I had a sensation on my feet, clearly piercing through and destroying something, but seeing that he was in good shape, he seemed to have done something. I wondered why he was wearing a red suit, but I guess it was an item after all. It was within my expectation, so I wasnt bewildered. It looked like a protection-type of an item, but it didnt seem to alleviate the direct impact. Judging from the fact that I felt I was blocked while piercing through something when I attacked, it seems like an item that absorbs the shock by creating a shield when attacked If I used the sword right away, it might have been blocked by the shield for a while. Even better, since I attacked briefly and backed off, I could see what kind of hand the opponent was holding. Regardless of the opponent being weaker than me, since he was a challenger who was on the top leaderboard of the Evaluation Ranking, it was important to figure out Kim Seungjuns ability. However Naturally, I didnt hesitate any longer after realizing that he didnt have a lot of skills to protect himself. I didnt pull my kick just now, but I did it with an intention to at least break his ribs. Getting your bones fractured in a battle is like death, so all means of defense mustve been used by him. That being said, the protection-type ability that was used to block the attack he just used must be the only means of Kim Seungjun protecting himself. If this is all of your defense, then I cant lose even if I wanted to. At that, I immediately activated the skill with a deeper smile. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 40%. Number of stacks - 4/7 Whoosh! The Winds Blessing that was activated instantly elerated my feet a little more, and my body moved like a breeze. The reason why I didnt go all out was to prepare for the second battle if it urredter on, as Kim Seungjun said, as there were two challengers watching me from behind. I could prepare for an emergency by making them think that this speed was the best I could pull off right now. However, Kim Seungjun, who was in front of me, immediately unfolded all of his powers as though he didnt even care about that matter anymore after getting struck once. Fkkkkkkkk! Die, you son of a bitch! The moment when he clearly revealed his malice and held out his left hand while holding a book in his right hand while drooling. A chain of a lightning bolt from Kim Seungjuns left arm began to rush in at a violent speed as though wrapping around his front. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzt..!! He was saying stuff like if Ill be alright after fighting each other, but I guess he deserved to say that. As I watched the blue chains rushing in as if they were swallowing up the space, the words Kim Seungjun said didnt seem to be aplete bluff. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch advises not to touch the chain of the lightning bolt. Administrator Gluttony Spectates your battle with interest. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint expects you to show off your swordsmanship. The administrators who watched also threw messages to me as they knew that. But even seeing such a lightning bolt, I didnt feel that much sense of danger. That was because Activating the skill Counter Shield. I prepared for this kind of situation in the waiting room in advance. Whurr! As I extended out my left arm and activated the skill, arge shield with a reddish glow spread over the palm of my hand. And. aaaaaaaaaaang! The chain of lightning bolt released by Kim Seungjun loudly crashed into the shield and dispersed, and in the meantime, I felt the lightning partially being absorbed by the shield. Of course, since it was pretty powerful, it consumed quite a lot of mana to increase the toughness of the shield, but that much shock was stacked up on the shield. Counter Shield was a skill that absorbed a certain amount of damage received and then reflected the umted amount of damage the other way round. In other words, this shield that blocked the skill that Kim Seungjun had just fired with all his might had some part of Kim Seungjuns power. Wh-What is this You blocked this skill that easily!? It was clear what to do now. I made the size of the shield small enough to fit my hand''s palm, looked at Kim Seungjun in shock, and smiled. Ill give you back just the amount I have received, so try your best to block it. And at the same time The skill Counter Shield releases the umted damage at once. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaam! A lightning bolt shed from the small shield floating in the palm of my hand, and a circr beam of light poured out. Chapter 72: Trial of the 10th floor (3) Chapter 72: Trial of the 10th floor (3) Chapter 72: Trial of the 10th floor (3) Once upon a time, there was a man called the Lightning King. An unidentified hunter who belonged to the group of one of only seven S-rank hunters in Korea. Since he always wore a mask, no one knew his face, and his voice was never appropriately revealed. Therefore he reigned as a transcendent existence. He never showed himself, but whenever a gate suddenly appeared like a disaster, the Lightning king always destroyed the gate, revealing his god-like power. And after clearing the gates easier and faster than anyone else, he always reproached the hunters, who were busy running away. I didnt know how scums who couldnt even settle these things could call themselves hunters. It may sound arrogant at first, but even though the forcibly conscripted hunters ran away for various reasons, he alone fulfilled his responsibilities. He was entitled to say that because he was that kind of person and not anyone else. Moreover, no hunter could refute the Lightning king. But that was no surprise. This was because it was difficult to find a strong hunter at the level of the Lightning king in the current hunter industry. The Hunter Association even said this if you asked how much it was In the future, a hunter of the Lightning Kings level wont appear easily in the hunter industry. He released and poured out lightning on rampaging monsters out of control After that, the sight of him scolding hunters who only coveted their rights while abandoning the duties they shouldve always done made the Lightning King into an S-rank hunter. However Ever since the Tower of Trials appeared, the activity of the Lightning King, who had always handled all kinds of gates, had ceased. It was because he was also helplessly dragged into the Tower of Trials just like everyone else. What was worse was the difficulty he was dragged into wasnt easy or normal, but Hard, which was known for being the worst. Nevertheless, the Lightning King grew stronger and faster. The more he broke through all the trials, the more he began to regain the ability he had before, and in the end, he was ranked Number 1 in the Evaluation Rankings. The Towers trial may have troubled him, but it didnt kill him. It was also the same forbined trials. For the Lightning King, and Kim Seunghoon, who was currently ying an active role as a top challenger in the Tower of Trial, most of the other challengers were like a backdrop. Only Oh Choonseok, a talented challenger who was said to be an ordinary person, was recognized as a challenger-like challenger for him, though Other than him, he felt that they were no different from the Hunters who had given up their responsibilities from the outside. Until he saw Han Sungyeun in the trial on the 10th floor of the Tower of Trials. K-Kuhuuuugh Seeing Kim Seungjun, who had just been ying politics, spilling blood like water, Kim Seunghoon was filled with pure admiration. This is different from what I expected Originally, Kim Seunghoon thought that Han Sungyeun would get quite a few injuries, too, when the fight between Kim Seungjun and Han Sungyeun was about to break out. Or, it would be a fight that had to waste a lot of time or put out quite a bit of the skill they both had. However He overwhelmed Kim Seungjun in just a few minutes, huh. Kim Seunghoons expectations based on the Evaluation rankings were immediately shattered. It was because Han Sungyeun suppressed Kim Seungjun immediately without showing all his skills, even though he expected him to spend quite a bit of time to achieve victory. It wasnt even a kill. He suppressed him. Hepletely suppressed him by returning some of the damage umted by Kim Seungjuns attack. Han Sungyeun was quite rxed even though he showed more strength than Kim Seunghoon had expected. In other words, Han Sungyeun didnt go all out. Oh Choonseok, who was standing next to where Kim Seunghoon was sitting and watching the fight, also asked a question as though he was dumbfounded. Seunghoon Hyung-nim. Do you know Hunter no, who that challenger named Han Sungyeun is? I dont know. I had never seen such a person among the high-ranking hunters before. Kim Seunghoon, who had a reputation for being the Lightning king, had never seen such a strong person before. It was the same for Oh Choonseok, who was originally an ordinary person. I mean, what kind of crazy skill does he have? He blocked magic with a shield made of mana instantly and even absorbed some of the blocked damage, umted it, and released it as is. On top of that, hes not a mage but a melee swordsman. Its even scarier that he didnt fight with all his might. Yes, that wasnt all of his power. He was just toying around. Hes good at fighting, Ive never seen his face before, and his skill set is odd. Skills that arent originally obtained from the tower can only be obtained if you have the aptitude. But all his aptitudes arecking in unity. Shield skill is close to the mage, but swordsmanship and movement skills are close to meleebat sses. Before the Tower of Trials appeared, [Skills] werent easily obtainable. Innate talent had control over everything, and depending on whether or not you had an aptitude, it determined your possibility of acquiring it. It wasnt just that. Even if you had an aptitude forbat skills, the process of effort would vary depending on how much of that attitude you had. Some people could only acquire the skill by repeating the same skill acquisition method by doing it hundreds of times, but others could acquire it in less than ten times. The world of hunters waspletely driven by talent. That was until this Tower of Trials, which allows you to acquire skills, appeared. Then that means Then it means that an ordinary person who was hitting rock bottom like me developed in the tower and became that strong. It meant that he was just an ordinary person like Oh Choonseok but became insanely strong through the rewards of the tower. Moreover, when watching him fight, he had developed to the point where he was no different from Kim Seunghoon. At that fact, Kim Seunghoon looked at Han Sungyeun and smiled softly. An ordinary person who developed to a level simr to that of a top-ranked hunter, you say Kim Seunghoons smile was full of surprise, as well as interest. This was the second time that one of Koreas top hunters, Lightning King, had had an interest in others. *** Reaper Scans *** Ku-Kuhuuugh Seeing Kim Seungjun crawling on the floor like a bug, I slightly frowned. It was because I realized that the damage of the lightning bolt released by the Counter Shield was stronger than I expected. I reduced the size of the shield in a moment and concentrated the energy on a small area to maximize the attack efficiency, but I was just going to inflict moderate damage and restrain his movement for a while Be that as it may, I never imagined that Id be able to take him down him this easily at once. It was a pretty surprising result, perhaps because it was an attack done by Kim Seungjun with a do-or-die attitude. Well, anyway, it looks like hes gonna die soon looking at him crawling on the ground. Kim Seungjun was dragging himself with a hole in his stomach, somehow trying to get away from me. Some people may feel bad at the sight of Kim Seungjuns spiteful will to survive, but There was no other sight as refreshing as this for me, who was almost put in a situation on the verge of death just now due to Kim Seungjun ying politics. And that was the same for the administrators who were watching me. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is inted with pride at her contractors great performance. Administrator Gluttony is astonished by looking at your overwhelming battle. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint enjoyed your performance but feels a little sullen for not using the Ki sword. . The Iron-blooded Monarch was even acting conceited, as though she epted my victory as her own situation. Meanwhile, the White Cran Sword Saint was getting sullen because I didnt use the Ki sword, the power he supported. Well, actually, I was going to use the Ki sword as well, but Kim Seungjun had lost even before that, so I didnt have much to say. If I had known that Kim Seungjun would be this easily defeated, Id have cut off his head by using Ki sword directly, without having to test the water. It was then I-Inventory. Kim Seungjun, who was crawling on the floor, suddenly opened his inventory and took out a potion from it. Looks like he took out a healing potion to heal his hole in the stomach, but Theres no way Im allowing you to do that. As soon as I saw it, I quickly moved and trampled on Kim Seungjuns hand, which was holding the potion. Smash! Ku-Kuaaaaaaaagh! Itd be better for you to stop struggling, you know. P-Please L-Let me use the potion As though he was driven to the point of death, Kim Seungjun iled around his arms in the air and made a sound close to begging. It was hard to believe that he was the one who had just tried to kill me by ying politics. But I couldnt feel any kind of pity looking at that sight. It was obvious. You probably thought everythings gonna be alright if you beg after trying to kill someone, but I wasnt a saint, but I wasnt an absolute viin either. My will was clear, as much as I had a mindset close to an ordinary person. Dont you think its a little bit toote to survive? Fighting fire with fire. The right response to someone who tried to control others with power was to control them with power. Challenger Kim Seunghoon-nim, and Oh Choonseok-nim. I spoke to the two challengers with a cold smile, looking at this situation. I want you two to cooperate to not help challenger Kim Seungjun, even if something thats not nice to see happens. Would that be okay? At those words, Kim Seunghoon quietly nodded his head as though he wouldn''t interfere. You dont even have to mention it. After all, hes a scum who tried to survive by using his silver tongue. Do as you wish. After that, it was a little bitter, but Oh Choonseok nodded his head in the same way and told me to do as I wished. Y-Yeah, please help yourself. Whatever the oue was, I was going to kill him anyway. In the end, they agreed more willingly than I thought. Perhaps both of them were trying to get rid of Kim Seungjun eventually. Normally, if it was the usual challengers Id seen in the Tower of Trials, they wouldve been making a fuss about taking some of the items Kim Seungjun was equipping, but Since theyre top-ranking challengers, they arent doing such filthy things. Rather, it looked like they wouldve helped me if I had been cornered. Of course, it was because Kim Seungjun was such a vicious challenger, so I was able to receive their consent easily. Now that I have received their consent, there was nothing to hesitate for. Craak! K-kuhuughk! My hand! My hand is broken! I immediately smashed Kim Seungjuns hand bones, picked up his potion that fell to the ground, and read the description window. Rapid Regeneration Potion Rank : C A regeneration potion made with special alchemy by grinding a trolls magic stone. When the potion is consumed, the [Trolls blood] temporarily flows through the body, and the body regenerates at a rapid speed. However, the concentration at which [Trolls blood] is activated varies depending on the amount of potion the user takes. You were trying to use a quite good potion there, huh. After reading the phrase that the concentration of [Trolls blood] activated varies depending on the amount of potion the user takes, I immediately pulled out the top of the potion and spilled some of it on Kim Seungjun. Fizzle. Kim Seungjun, who was on the verge of death as he was slowly stopping to move, twitched and started to move again as I dropped a few drops of potion on his pierced stomach. W-Why Kim Seungjun muttered to himself as though he couldnt understand it, but I didnt do this because I felt bad for Kim Seungjun or wanted to take him as a team member. Kim Seungjun-ssi, I have an offer for you. The reason why I used a little bit of potion on that bastard was because Even now, if you take out all the items in your inventory and hand them over, Ill use this potion to save you. Just like how he offered Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonseok to kill me and share my items afterward. I was also paying him back in the same way. Of course, in fact, this was just an option that only dyed Kim Seungjuns death. Even though he probably knew that I wouldnt have to keep this promise Kim Seungjun had only one option to choose from. Please decide. Kim Seungjun, who was nothing but a loser, wasnt given a choice from the beginning. Chapter 73: Trial of the 10th floor (4) Chapter 73: Trial of the 10th floor (4) Chapter 73: Trial of the 10th floor (4) By naturalw, the world revolves around those who own things. Whether money, talent, or anything else, those who didnt own things couldn''t beat those who owned things. Just like me, who couldnt walk the path as a hunter due to ack of skill aptitude. However, after I started climbing the Tower of Trials, I was able to have what I couldnt have. The rewards I got from overwhelming, insane trials of life and death gave me a lot of things. Thanks to that, I was able to acquire strength I never had before. Well, I couldnt really feel it because I had suffered hardships by meeting challengers from another world before I even got to feel the power I had in my hands But not anymore. The Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat Grade: A- A special tailcoat worn by one of the vampires of Callian when he was young. When the user is attacked, the user can arbitrarily consume their stamina or blood to create a bloody barrier. The level of the shield is determined ording to the amount of stamina and blood consumed at this time. Looking at the red tailcoat I got from Kim Seungjun, I slightly raised the corners of my lips. To think that I could get an item with an astounding A-rank without paying any price. No, Its probably not that I didnt pay for it at all. If I had lost the battle just now, it wouldve been me who was putting out all the items by now, not Kim Seungjun. So its thew of high-risk, high-return, huh As much as I took the risk of death, there were quite a few things I could gain this time. Amplifying Tome Grade: C+ A tome dedicated to amplifying mana that one of Ares court mages used when they were young. Mana concentration and mana properties are strengthened when the user casts magic with the book in their hand. However, if the user drops the tome from the hand while in use, all of their stats will decrease by 1. As well as that chaotic magic tome that Kim Seungjun used while holding in his hand during the fight. Ne of Thunder God Worshiper Grade: A A ne that can change the users magical properties into the thunder attribute when worn for a long time. It can change up to three peoples magical properties, and this effect only applies to those who dont have any magical properties at all. He even had a precious ne that could change your magical attribute, which made me wonder how he got it. Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword Grade: B+ Reaction speed +7% Attack speed +10% A fine sword that was once one of the treasures that have been passed down from the Blood Demonic Cult of Murim. When used by someone with a swordsmanship skill, blood ki flows around the de, and the flow of magical power through the blood sword bes smoother. I was also able to obtain a sword that he didnt use during the battle, as though it was acquired by killing someone else. Other than that, I was able to get different items, but there were no items that caught my attention except for these three. The rest of the items were good enough to be disposed of somewhere if I returned to reality soon. I tried breaking his recovered hand bones and restoring them repeatedly in case there were any items Kim Seungjun was hiding, but Crash! Crash! Crash! Fuuuuuuckkk.! You, son of a bitch! This is all! Everything! I gave you everything that I got!! Activating the skill Eye of Truth. Everything that this person says is true. He seemed to be hiding no items at all. Only then did I remove my feet that were on Kim Seungjuns body and put the acquired items into the inventory. Of course, I didnt store the [Ne of Thunder God worshiper] in the inventory and wore it right away. Currently, yer Han Sungyeun doesnt have a unique mana property. The mana property begins to develop under the effect of the Ne of Thunder God Worshiper (A). It was because I thought that it wasnt so bad to get a property for someone like me who didnt have a mana property at all. When I asked Kim Seungjun, I was able to find out that he only used it once, and It still had about two uses left. Please, stop it already I-Ill do anything if you spare me, so In the process, his bones were broken and regenerated several times, and Kim Seungjun turned into a gruesome sight, but I didnt feel any sense of pity or anything because of that sight. He made his bed, it was time for him to lie in it. He was just paying the price for his own evil deeds. As I looked at his not-even-pitiful figure, I soon smashed the potion in my hand. Crack! Seeing the ss shards smashed on my hands and the potion inside dripping onto the floor, Kim Seungjuns eyes widened and he gnashed his teeth. Fuck!! I gave you all the items in my inventory as you wanted, but what!! Kim Seungjuns face terribly distorted as he finally realized that he had been deceived, but Why would I keep a promise that I dont even have to keep. I answered with an unmoved voice even after hearing his cry and approached Kim Seungjun. Kim Seungjun was frightened and tried to run away from the ce somehow, but he couldnt. As I didnt even use 30% of the Rapid Regeneration potion, Kim Seungjun was barely surviving. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!! Please, somebody help m! Kim Seungjun somehow crawled with both arms and asked help from Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk, but Crash! I immediately stomped on Kim Seungjuns head as hard as I could and cut his voice off cleanly. After a neat finale with no feelings of guilt, regrets or anything left You have absorbed the soul of the yer ''Kim Seungjun''. Proficiency increased by 12.7% Again, only the message of Necromancy that informed me I had absorbed the soul floated up. *** Reaper Scans *** When I absorbed the soul of Kim Seungjun after he died, a new message appeared in front of me. 10 minutes left until the start of the trial. All challengers, please prepare for the uing trial of the 10th floor. It was none other than the waiting time for the trial of the 10th floor ending soon. Well, it took quite a while to kill Kim Seungjun, but I gained a lot of worth from that. As I was feeling satisfied with it, Kim Senghoon and Oh Choonsuk approached me. Looks like you havepletely finished him. Kim Seunghoon spoke to me with a calm attitude, and I responded to it without any emotions. Its because I dont tend to leave the source of possible troubles. Is that so Well, thats not a bad choice either. As Kim Seunghoon nodded while saying that out of the blue, he thrust his finger towards the air. I was nervous for a while, wondering if it was to activate some kind of skill, but Challenger Kim Seunghoon has sent you a friend request. The tension dissipated immediately with the friend request message that arrived suddenly. You may contact me in the future if you have any questions or concerns. Before I could even be bewildered by his voice that seemed satisfied, Kim Seunghoon immediately turned his back and walked away from me with those words. What was that? While I was feeling a profound sense of wonder about what in the world was going on Challenger Oh Choonsuk has sent you a friend request. Then, the friend request of Oh Choonsuk, who was next to him, also arrived. When I looked at Oh Choonsuk, soon he opened his mouth embarrassedly. Haha I might be a little bit shameless, but I want to contact you in the future. It seemed that the fact that he didn''t help me in the fight with Kim Seungjun made him feel quite ufortable. But even if I was in ce of Oh Choonsuk, I wouldnt have risked helping others. And it looked like he was going to kill Kim Seungjun no matter what. Then if he really thought that I was in danger, he wouldve intervened. Not even close. Well, you can always contact me if you want to. There was nothing wrong with having a means of contact with the top challengers. Youve epted the friend request from challenger Kim Seunghoon. Youve epted the friend request from challenger Oh Choonsuk. I epted the two friend request immediately. Only then did Oh Choonsuk smile. Ah, Thank you. I was wondering what I should do if you dont ept it Thank goodness. Oh Choonsuk said so, and then he nced at me and continued. You mustve chosen the conqueror when choosing the radiance on the 8th floor. I couldnt help but widen my eyes in response. !? When I looked at Oh Choonsuk as though surprised, he scratched his head, embarrassed. When I saw you using the skill a while ago, it looked like you summoned something like a shield made out of mana. But its unlikely that melee-type hunters would learn such a thing. It seems like a skill with a fairly high rank, but its difficult for melee-type hunters to acquire such skills. Well, not only that, but there are other reasons as well. What would that other reason be Radiance I also chose the conqueror, you see. So I was sure. Well, I couldntbine skills with such a high rank like you did, Han Sungyeun-ssi. It looks like you acquired your skills by integrating all the useless skills youve acquired so far, but honestly, I feel envious. What do you If he had chosen the radiance of a conqueror, Oh Choonsuk wouldve been able tobine skills like I did Just as I was starting to think so, Oh Choonsuk opened his mouth again as if he was going to exin it. Originally, skills were easy to acquire when you have the aptitude you know Each skill requires different aptitudes, and there are also aptitude levels that make it almost impossible to get one. I couldnt deny that what he was saying was true until the towers appeared. Because I couldnt also get any skills due to that damn aptitude back then. Of course, things changed a bit after the tower appeared, but the points acquired through clearing the trials werent enough to use to get the skills that can be used for skillbination, and even skillbination seemed to have to be done with simr skills. Otherwise, itll result in some strange skills. That was true too. I wanted to know what would happen when different types of skills werebined, so I realized it after Ibined Heat Resistance with the skill called Rangers Knowledge. It was then that I clearly realized thatbining useless skills didnt produce better results than before. But it seems that you made a lot of gains from the skillbination, Han Sungyeun-ssi. Well, I havent tried many things yet since I dont have many skills, so I was wondering if theres another way to use the skillbination. Then I realized just how big the difference in conqueror radiance was depending on a person. Due to my innate ability, Necromancy, I was able to absorb the stats as well as the skills. In other words, I had a perfect innate ability for using the conqueror radiances innate power, [Skill Combination]. On the other hand, Oh Choonsuk, didnt have an easy way to acquire the skills, so it was difficult to use the innate power in many ways. And because of that, he guessed that the skill I was using was obtained through the power of the radiance, and then questioned me. However Theres no such thing as a hidden function in the power of radiance. There was no hidden function in skillbination, only a slight rule onbining the skills. Other than that, most of them were practically meaningless, so I thought about it for a while, but No, I was just lucky to have it bybining the skills so instead, I think Ill be able to tell you what I learned whilebining the skills. Soon, I taught him the basicws of Skill Combination while hiding my innate ability. Like how the activation method was determined whenbining skills and how the core content of the skill changed. Well, actually, these were all parts you could get a sense of when you did quite a bit ofbining, but even that seemed to be quite helpful for Oh Choonsuk. Oh so those kinds of things existed too huh, there were quite a few features that I didnt even know. Oh Choonsuk lightly admired and tried to open his mouth as if he had more to ask, but Time over. From the moment he saw the message that popped up, he couldnt. The trial of the 10th floor will begin. The remaining time will begin to decrease, and monsters will appear. The trial of the 10th floor began without even having time to talk. Chapter 74: Trial of the 10th floor (5) Chapter 74: Trial of the 10th floor (5) Chapter 74: Trial of the 10th floor (5) The trial of the 10th floor will begin. The remaining time will start to decrease, and monsters will appear. When the number of monsters decreases by more than a certain amount, a boss monster will appear. The moment the messages saying that the trial of the 10th floor would begin floated up Crumble! The floor of the field began to shake, and soon the dirt began to rise up from here and there, taking the shape of a snake. The size of the snakes that looked like a few meters was also trouble, but the number of dirt snakes being generated was not a joke either. Grasping the situation right away, I immediately took out the Thunder de and took my fighting stance. It was then Conditions have been met. The message suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Special task, contribution will begin. When you defeat a monster that appears in the trial on the 10th floor, each entity will grant you contribution points, and additional points will be given ordingly. However, the amount of contribution point umted at this time varies depending on the strength of each entity. ording to the umted contribution points, the level of the trial reward may be upgraded, and the reward level is determined by each other''s contribution rank. !? I was bewildered by the message of a special task that I hadnt seen in a long time since the trial ofpetition but It looks like it''s not a trial that only involves cooperation as we thought. At the words of Oh Choonsuk from the left, I had no choice but to erase those feelings. Looks like it. Since this is also some kind ofpetition. Whether it was a special task or whatever, this was no different from apetition that had begun. Considering that all challengers in the 10th floor stage were listed in the contribution rankings, there was no room for hesitation. Perhaps Oh Choonsuk also knew it too, he scratched his hair and opened his mouth. Well, we cant really give way to each other anyway Lets do each others best. As a matter of fact, I was gonna do so. It''s good that we''re on the same page. Having said that, Oh Choonsuk immediately took out an old-fashioned cone hat from his inventory, pressed it on his head, and smiled. Well then. Lastly, with that short ending statement, Oh Choonsuk ran forward and started spewing mes from his fingertips at the monsters of dirt that looked like snakes. I thought he might be a mage at first nce, but as I expected, Oh Choonsuk seemed to be a challenger specializing in magic battles. Of course, since the enemy was made of dirt, I wondered if he really had to use fire magic, but Baaaang! Overshadowing those worries, the dirt snakes that touched Oh Choonsuks fire exploded to pieces. Seeing the mes that spread wherever they passed by and indiscriminately killed monsters, it appeared to be abat method specialized in mass killing. While I was feeling that his evaluation ranking wasn''t just for a show, Kim Seunghoon whod been standing still, began to move with hisrge hammer. However "What is that." As soon as Kim Seunghoon''s battle began, I couldn''t help but be astonished. Bzzzzzzzzzt.! The moment when the lightning started to flow from Kim Seunghoon''s body and scatter in all directions, it created an unusual sight. Whiish! Kim Seunghoon''s figure soon started moving at such a high speed while smashing the floor that only a blurry afterimage could be seen. And at the same time Pow! Pow! Pow! The dirt snakes around Kim Seunghoon got their heads exploded just as his afterimage left on his path disappeared. Looking at this overwhelming sight, I couldn''t help but shudder. So this is "A top challenger." It was the pure strength of the top challenger, the so-called ranker. I wondered if they were worse than the challengers from another world, but Watching the battle of Kim Seunghoon, and Oh Choonsuk, that thoughtpletely disappeared. "Interesting." This kind of trial boiled my blood even more than thepetition with lower-ranking challengers such as Capture the g. Feeling my blood boil after so long, I also moved my body while giving a tight grip on the Thunder de. Activating the skill Instant eleration. Activating the skill Wind''s Blessing. All speeds increased by 40%. Number of stacks - 4/7 Whooosh! In a moment, I arrived at the center where the dirt snakes gathered while cutting through the wind. With a deep smile, I moved to the ce where their shadows stretched out. And Activating the skill ndestine Shadow''s Step. You''re stepping on the shadow of a living creature. Your strength temporarily increases by +3. I activated the newly acquired skill and quickly moved the sword in my hand. Activating the power Sword Ki Master. I activated the sword ki sponsored by the White Crane Sword Saint. Activating the skill Lighting Sword Ki. In addition, I mixed in the Lightning Sword Ki I acquired by absorbing the soul of Baek Sunhak, the elder of the Murim alliance. Activating the skill Chaotic Sword-fighting y. Sword attack speed increases by 2%. Number of stacks - 1/10 Raising the attack speed, I immediately cut the snake''s neck neatly in front of me. You have defeated the earth snake. You gain 1 contribution point. Currently, challenger Han Sungyeun''s contribution ranking isst ce. A message appeared in front of me that I had earned a contribution point, but it wasn''t the time to be concerned about that. sh! I didn''t stop there. I went behind the snakes trying to attack me with fleet footwork and swung my sword while activating the ''ndestine Shadow''s Step.'' Smash! sh! Pow! I twisted the corners of my mouth while repeating that series of processes several times in less than 10 seconds. This This isn''t enough I couldn''t be satisfied with this. ''This won''t do If I want to take the first ce.'' Faster and more efficiently I had to hunt without any breaks, like flowing water. Only then could I be first in the contribution rankings. I repeated that in my mind as though to imprint it and then smashed the floor. It was the start of an earnest hunt. *** Reaper Scans *** Faster and more efficiently Seeing Han Sungyeun muttering without realizing it, the Iron-blooded Monarch smiled softly. "Should I say, as expected from the contractor I chose.." Like a fish in water, Han Sungyeun was smiling more as he got rid of the snakes beyond the hologram screen. As if he was really enjoying it. Looking at the scene, the Iron-blooded Monarch realized again what kind of existence Han Sungyeun was. He was one of the few top-ranked challengers in the Earth dimension, where it''d been just a few months since the Tower of Trials settled in. She understood what that meant as she had spent quite some time as an administrator. "He''s a man of talent that can''t be easily seen in other dimensions." Those who realized the structure of the Tower were afraid of death and eventually stopped climbing the Tower and gave up their path as a challenger. Or, even if they did climb, they climbed it only after spending endless time preparing themselves to the point where they wouldn''t take any risks. That was the most standard reaction of those who had just entered the Tower of Trials. However, Han Sungyeun, seen through the eyes of the Iron-blooded Monarch, was fundamentally different from them. The desire to grow. Even though he was from a dimension where the Tower of Trial wasn''t known yet, he climbed up the Tower knowing nothing, with only the desire to grow. It could be said that he was a monster that only looked forward to growth. And that was still the same even now as he went through the trial on the 10th floor. Even though he had just taken all the items of Kim Seungjun, as though that wasn''t enough, he was trying to clear the special task in first ce. In order to win the special reward thats given only to the one with the highest contribution points. It wasn''t an exaggeration to say Han Sungyeun''s image was like a ghost de, shing around with the Sword Ki of Lightning on his de. The Iron-blooded Monarch looked at Han Sungyeun and thought to herself. That he''s a strange challenger she hasn''t seen in a long time. "This reminds me of the old days." There was a time when the Iron-blooded Monarch also fought in pursuit of strength like that. Those days when she overtook everyone who climbed the Tower and fought like a madman with a sword in her hand. At that time, she was literally an Iron-blooded Monarch that no one couldy their hand on. Of course, that also came to an end as she approached the end of the Tower and met her death, though She thought that Han Sungyeun might be different. ''Should I say I was lucky that I''m his first contractor'' If Han Sungyeun''s first contract had been taken away by others, even the Iron-blooded Monarch, who had never been interested in a contract, would''ve been devastated. But "To think that this challenger with such insane growth potential is my contractor" In the end, the Tower transferred Han Sungyeun''s contract to the Iron-blooded Monarch, and thanks to this, the Iron-blooded Monarch was able to sign a contract with Han Sungyeun. The Iron-blooded Monarch was thankful for that part. For the challenger, the [First contract] was more important than one could imagine. It''s a system that unlocks starting from the waiting room of the 11th floor, and you could receive support in earnest from the contracted administrator. And one of the functions that is expanded at that time is that the contract between the additional administrators to the challenger can also be interfered with by the Iron-blooded monarch to some extent. Of course, that was only to a certain extent, and the decision was made by the challenger, so the Iron-Blooded monarch was also nervous at this point. ''As a matter of fact, The White Crane Sword Saint seemed to be interested in Han Sungyeun'' Even if you were the first administrator to be contracted, the importance may vary depending on the choice of the challenger. As the administrator received benefits from the Tower ording to the growth level of the contracted challenger, if the manager was pushed out of the challenger''s importance, the benefits obtained by nurturing the challenger decreased. Therefore, She had no choice but to worry about what happened in the waiting room on the 11th floor. To the challengers of the Murim world, the White Crane Sword Saint was almost like a legend, and even Gluttony, who was snooping around these days, had quite a lot of followers in Callian. She was the first administrator to have a contract, butpared to other administrators, it could be seen that she didn''t bring a lot of advantages. At least for Han Sungyeun, who had a great desire for growth, might feel that way. Which had made him form a contract with other administrators to acquire powers and be stronger based on them. In particr, the powers of the Iron-blooded Monarch were all so great that they were difficult to obtain despite their excellent utility. For sure, even if he broke through this trial, he wouldn''t be able to buy quality powers with the SP he obtained. However "It''ll be a little different starting from the 11th floor." Whether it''s Murim, Callian, or Ares No administrator of any dimension would be able to keep up with the gift she had prepared for him. This thing she prepared for Han Sungyeun by enduring great restriction from the Tower was a sponsor that other challengers couldn''t even dream of at this point. So Obviously, Han Sungyeun, who only pursued growth, wouldn''t prioritize other administrators if he saw her prepared [Gift]. "Try your best, White Crane Sword Saint, Gluttony, or whoever it is." Whether he contracted with the second, or even third, administrator, it didn''t matter to her now how many more administrators he''d have a contract with. "In the end, Han Sungyeun will choose me." He''d surely do so to make himself stronger. Chapter 75: An oddball (1) Chapter 75: An oddball (1) Chapter 75: An oddball (1) Smaaaash! eleration speed is increased by the effect of Boots of Swiftness (C+) The one-sided massacre continued as I earnestly began to hunt. Activating the skill ''Chaotic Sword-fighting y(C+).'' Sword attack speed increases by 14%. Number of stacks - 7/10 I increased my attack speed, which has been increased by various effects, once again through the Chaotic Sword-fighting y skill and Activating the skill ''ndestine Shadow''s Step (C+).'' You''re stepping on the shadow of a living creature. Your strength temporarily increases by +3. I immediately took the nk of the entities that I felt I couldn''t kill with a single strike, stepped on their shadow, cut its body in half, and killed it. You have absorbed the soul of the Earth Snake. Proficiency increased by 0.07% You have absorbed the soul of the Earth Proficiency increased by You have absorbed the soul of the Ea Proficiency increased Of course, while moving around, I didn''t forget to immediately absorb the souls. It was to raise my stats, but it was also because both my mana and stamina were being consumed little by little from moving so fiercely. I wasn''t surprised. Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 6 minutes. Mana cost increases by 12% Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 7 Mana cost increases by Power Sword Ki Master has been active for 8... Mana cost increases As the power of Sword Ki was strong, the rate of mana consumption increased frantically as I used it. In order to replenish the mana I consumed in an instant, I had no choice but to use the insignificant Earth Snake''s soul to make up for my mana. An opponent of this size was only difficult to deal with because there''s arge amount of them. Even if I absorbed them, my stats wouldn''t improve much. For that reason, I didn''t feel like I was missing anything by using their souls just to replenish my mana. Rather You have defeated the Earth Snake. You gain 1 contribution point. I decided to focus on the fact that I could get more contribution points like this. Since I wouldn''t be able to acquire proper skills, let alone increase my stats, if I absorbed only monsters of this level. Such a realistic judgment made a path that led directly to the result. Currently, challenger Han Sungyeun''s contribution ranking is 2nd ce. It was because I stole the rank of Oh Choonsuk, who was carrying out a mass ughter using magic. "I mean, how can your hunting be faster than magic!?" Looks like Oh Choonsuk also noticed that fact. He consumed his mana more and tried actively hunting the Earth snakes, but Using the soul of the Earth snake to replenish mana. Using the soul of the Earth snake to replenish stamina. Stamina and mana weren''t infinite, but finite resources. And since I could refill those resources right away, it was inevitable for me to have better durability than Oh Choonsuk As a result, even though Oh Choonsuk''s hunting speed was gradually slowing down, I could keep the pace without getting tired and continued the ughter. One Man Army achievement unlocked. All stats increased by 1. Thanks to that, I was able to obtain an achievement that increased all my stats by 1. However... While Oh Choonsuk was falling behind, Kim Seunghoon was still smashing the heads of Earth Snakes at an insane speed, leaving his afterimages of lightning. Pow! Pow! Pow! As if bombs were exploding, a loud deafening roar could be heard from here and there. If it weren''t for the stats that I trained with Necromancy, it wouldn''t be strange if I lost my hearing immediately. It gave me goosebumps, and I couldn''t help but admire him. A sky beyond the sky. Kim Seunghoon disyed overwhelming strength to the extent that everything I had experienced so far felt silly. Should I say it was like watching a wild beast with its pretty in front of it? It was surprising that he could make such agile movements even with a weapon like a hammer. To think that his attacks contained power that most challengers would be driven to the point of death to use, and in addition to that, he was so fast. ''I''m even doubtful if he''s really the same kind of human like us.'' I was even consuming the souls that allowed me to permanently increase my stats to keep this pace Without anything like my power, Kim Seunghoon right now was in a state of continuing his insane hunting skills purely with his ability Contribution ranking 1st ce, Kim Seunghoon (196) 2nd ce, Han Sungyeun (147) 3rd ce, Oh Choonsuk (122) I had caught up to some extent, but now the gap wasn''t narrowing at all. Even if I increased my contribution points, Kim Seunghoon''s contribution points also went up as much as I raised them. Despite the fact that he had already umted so many contribution points, Kim Seunghoon was maintaining the gap between us without getting tired. Now was the time to admit things that should be admitted. ''If I continue topete with quantity like this, I''ll end up losing.'' It was apetition in which the starting line waspletely different. No matter how much power I drew out to the limit, I couldn''t turn the tables with the contribution points in this state. Yeah, this should be natural. The Evaluation Ranking wasn''t absolute proof, but it was an indicator ofbat power to some extent. How could I beat the person who was first ce in the Evaluation Ranking? There was no way to get ahead of him as I was being pushed by his durability, which was my only advantage. However ''The system said that the contribution points of this special task are given differently depending on the strength of each entity.'' In fact, therger Earth Snakes gave some additional contribution points. Recalling that fact in my head, I began to wait for that one moment. The point at which the strongest monster appeared in the trial of the 10th floor. Which was Half of the monsters on the 10th floor stage have been removed. The dungeon boss Darkness Devouring Snake has appeared. The appearance of boss monster thats the condition for clearing this trial of the 10th floor. "Now I''m finally starting to feel like I can win a little." It was the moment when the light in the tunnel finally appeared. *** Reaper Scans *** Kim Seunghoon continued to observe Han Sungyeun''s movements, even while killing all the Earth Snakes emerging from the ground. It wasn''t because he had enough energy to observe him, but because the scene he was watching was purely unbelievable. Crash! With the speed that made even Kim Seunghoon flinch for an instant, Earth Snakes were brutally ughtered by Han Sungyeun''s sword. One, two, three Several small snakes were killed in a single strike, andrge snakes died while being split in half by the sword as their backs were caught. In addition, his attack speed increased the more he swung the sword. Watching this scene, Kim Seunghoon felt astonished and a little caught off guard at the same time. ''To think that kind of a monster wasn''t originally a hunter but an ordinary person'' He hadn''t even thought that such a crazy monster could be hiding among ordinary people. His pure talent was quite high, and he had an unpredictable number of skills, and the power of those skills was outstanding. That wasnt the end of it. ''His durability is on a whole new level.'' Even though he was spamming his skills like that, he didn''t show any signs of exhaustion. Rather, he was fighting with the corners of his lips slightly raised. Unlike his cold-hearted appearance a while ago, the current Han Sungyeun felt like a predator with a sword. An oddball. Han Sungyeun was a challenger that Kim Seungyun had no other words but to describe him like that. Of course, Kim Seunghoon felt like he had a long way to go to match with him, but Originally, Kim Seunghoon was one of the top hunters in the Korean hunter industry. Even if he lost most of the power he had when he entered the tower, that fact didn''t change. The fact that he was showing the signs of keeping up with Kim Seunghoon meant that his potential waspletely different. ''A monster like him is appearing because of the tower''s appearance, huh.'' He was surprised as he thought that only some kind of scum was increasing their numbers. Kim Seunghoon was skeptical about the fact that Kim Seungjun or those who were worse than that bastard imed to be hunters, but ''Han Sungyeun is a challenger who''s apletely different ss from those guys.'' For this time, he couldn''t deny the beneficial effect created after the tower appeared. It was the moment when Kim Seunghoon began to have an increasingly strong interest in Han Sungyeun. Half of the monsters on the 10th floor stage have been removed. The dungeon boss Darkness Devouring Snake has appeared. "!?" Suddenly, such a message came up, and the ground began to shake rapidly. Instead of panicking at the vibration that seemed like an earthquake, Kim Seunghoon immediately grasped the situation. The trial had already progressed enough for the boss monster to appear. By the time he fully embraced that fact, a huge Earth Snake was already in the middle of the field, pping his earthen tongue. Darkness Devouring Snake. A dungeon boss, one of the monsters of all monsters that often appeared in field-type A-rank dungeons, materialized right in front of his eyes. ''Are you saying that a boss monster this strong is appearing?'' Darkness Devouring Snake was a notorious high-ranking monster even in A-rank dungeons. Despite its huge body being reminiscent of a dragon, the problem with it was its skill in narrowing the field of vision of all living things around it. It was safe to say that there was almost no way to counter it, as it was none other than an ability to seal off the sense of sight. Of course, it wasnt like there was no way to handle it at all. You could break through the reduced vision with a high level of mana resistance skill or an anti-magic skillparable to that. However, as well as the mana resistance, theparable resistance skill had to be higher than that of Kim Seunghoon''s right now. Why? Because Veil of Darkness was an A-rank skill, and for that reason, it had amazing skill detection. With Kim Seunghoon''s B+ Mana Resistance skill, it was difficult to ovee the skill detection of an A-rank skill. ''Cooperation or whatever, we might all die if I don''t hurry.'' What was worse was that there were two other challengers, not just him. Kim Seunghoon stormed across the ground under the pressure that he needed to resolve this situation somehow. However Kieeeeeeeeeeegh! Due to the skill ''Veil of Darkness'', your vision starts to narrow down. In proportion to the amount of mana used, the field of view also continually gets smaller. The moment the Darkness Devouring Dnake immediately activated a special skill, Kim Seunghoon stopped moving. He had no choice but to do so. As the movement was loaded with mana, the amount of mana used increased, and the field of vision reduced. Therefore Kim Seunghoon had no choice but to stop using his mana and stare at the Darkness Devouring Snake. The Mana Resistance skill immediately activated, slowing down the reduction of the view, but ''From now on, I need to continue the battle with a super sense rather than sight.'' That didn''t mean that the situation of the battle had gotten better. Oh Choonsuk was bewildered as though he couldn''t see anything because he uses quite a lot of mana. Han Sungyeun was also standing still, staring at the Darkness Devouring snake. In other words, everyone wasn''t so familiar with these kinds of enemies. If he had a bit more mana resistance, he wouldn''t have been pressured by skills like Veil of Darkness at all, but that was a useless thought. Currently, Kim Seunghoon had lost all of his immense mana resistance by entering the tower. Of course, after climbing the tower and repeating battles, he acquired a B-rank mana resistance skill, but that wasn''t enough to ovee the A-rank hit detection skill. Kim Seunghoon clenched his teeth and activated his mana throughout his body more and more strongly. Bzzzzzzt!! umte damage to the Darkness Devouring Snake as much as possible before hepletely bes out of sight. And after that, deal with the Darkness Devouring Snake alone. Even if he was driven to the point of death with ack of senses. Hunting monsters has always been the hunter''s duty. That didn''t change under any circumstances. Leave all the small monsters to Oh Choonseok and Han Sungyeun, and finish this stupidly strong monster by himself. That was the ideal solution for Kim Seunghoon in the current situation. However That n of Kim Seunghoon was shattered the moment he raised the mana of the lightning. m! "!?" It''s because there was someone who kicked off the ground faster than Kim Seunghoon. The challenger that Kim Seunghoon admired throughout the trial. It was Han Sungyeun. Chapter 76: An oddball (2) Chapter 76: An oddball (2) Chapter 76: An oddball(2) The moment the Darkness Devouring Snake used its skill, I immediately rushed out. Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk were unable to move due to the sight reduction and binding skills. I was the only one who could move without any problem in this ce. Due to skill, ''Veil of Darkness'', your vision starts to narrow down. In proportion to the amount of mana used, the field of view also continually gets smaller. The skill used by the Darkness Devouring Snake? It wasn''t even worth caring about. My field of vision was temporarily reduced by the skill that the more mana is used, the smaller my vision bes, but... Activating the skill Forceful Breakthrough. Activating the skill Mana Resistance. Reducing the field of vision was meaningless to me, who had gotten insanely stronger with Necromancy. I smirked as I watched the lighte back into my vision which was about to turn into darkness in an instant. Skill ''Forceful Breakthrough (D-)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill ''Forceful Breakthrough (D-) ranked up. Skill ''Mana Circuit (D-)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill ''Mana Circuit (D-) ranked up. Skill ''Mana Resistance (D-)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill ''Mana Resistance (D-) ranked up. Three of my skills ranked up at once just by breaking through the skill that was used by Darkness Devouring Snake just now. I could feel the overheated magic circle widening the meridians and delivering the mana more quickly and concisely. It wasn''t just that. With the growth of Forceful Breakthrough and Mana Resistance, it became easier to resist the skills used by the Darkness Devouring Snake. Now, binding-type skills didn''t affect me anymore. As soon as I realized that fact, the pleasure of growth spread all over my body. And at the same time, other emotions began to rise up like a small spark in the corner of my chest. Competitive spirit. I let out a bitter smile at the fundamental desire to be stronger. To think I was feeling a sense ofpetitive spirit even in front of a notorious monster, even in an A-rank dungeon? At this point, I had no choice but to admit it. I wasn''t forcing myself to throw myself at the borderline between life and death to survive like in the past. But now, not because someone told me, but with my own will, I was jumping into the pit of fire to be stronger. Not only the soul to be obtained by defeating the Darkness Devouring Snake, but also additional rewards to be acquired through the contribution system I was taking pleasure in this act of moving solely to be stronger. After feeling this, I thought I couldn''t think rationally as I was bing addicted to fighting. But I wasn''t. It was perfectly normal to jump on the borderline between life and death to be stronger. Avoiding challenges and hoping for a safe victory was just a shortcut to falling behind. As long as I didn''t risk my life, the only reward I could get was just the level of not risking my life. Rather than taking the easy path and gradually losing the will to challenge, It was better to take the difficult path and grow myself to the limit. Kieeeeeeegh! Meanwhile, the Darkness Devouring Snake cried. Perhaps it was annoyed by the fact that I was rushing in after lifting up the veil by myself. Of course, that cry wasn''t just for threatening. Due to skill ''Gaze of Darkness'', all stats are decreased by -3. Due to skill ''Mana Resistance, the effect of the -3 decrease in all stats is canceled. Due to skill ''Touch of the Swamp'', movement speed is decreased by -30%. Due to skill ''Forceful Breakthrough'', the effect of the -30% decrease in movement speed is forcibly canceled. If it hadn''t been for the Forceful Breakthrough and Mana Resistance, I''d have be a cold corpse by now. As expected from a notorious boss monster that appears in A-rank dungeons, it had insane binding skills. Moreover, the skills activated at a distance to test the waters were at this level. Which meant? It meant that the Darkness Devouring Snake''s skills at close range would be more threatening. ''There''s no need to let it run wild like that.'' Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 10%. Number of stacks - 1/7 The Wind''s Blessing was activated instantly, and I became like a gust of wind. Whiiiiiiiish! Passing through the gap between Earth Snakes, I reached right in front of the Darkness Devouring Snake. Then, I jumped up off the ground without hesitation and swung the sword as hard as possible towards its jaws. Activating the power Lighting Sword Ki. Baaaaaaang!! The Sword Ki formed on the de was shot forward in a sh with lightning, resounding a huge impact sound. Would it receive damage to some extent because I used the Sword Ki? It was noticeable that its jaws made out of ck mud had a few cracks. Even if it was an A-rank monster, it was no different in that it was helpless against Sword Ki. *** Reaper Scans *** However, the Darkness Devouring Snake didn''t just stand still and take it, as though it felt the danger of death. Whoosh! The Darkness Devouring Snake immediately swung its tail at me to take the initiative, but If I was that weak to be affected by such an obvious attack, I wouldn''t have been able to stand here. Baaaaaaam! "Kugh" I felt a thrill after immediately raising my leg and blocking the tail with one foot. To think that I blocked the attack of an A-rank monster with just one foot! Even if it wasn''t a skill, but just a normal attack, it wasn''t normal. ''I guess I can no longer be treated like a regr human being anymore.'' It seemed like I had already surpassed an ordinary hunter''s standards long ago. It was then Kieeeeeee! Strange waves rang out from the Darkness Devouring Snake''s tail, and my head began to throb. "?" Pow! With that strange phenomenon, I immediately kicked its tail away and stepped back for a moment Due to power ''Resonance of Darkness'', you''re slowly being corrupted by the status effect: madness. At the same time, I opened my eyes widely when I saw the message that the Darkness Devouring Snake used its power. A power? ''I''ve never heard of monsters being able to use a power.'' Skills could be used by monsters as well as by yers. That''s why I''d been able to absorb skills from monsters so far. However, power was the ability that challengers who belonged to the top ranks in the Tower of Trials acquired by contracting with the administrators. In fact, I''d never heard of a monster using power in real life, and I''d never seen it even after climbing the tower and having several fights. However The Darkness Devouring Snake used its power to shatter suchmon sense. Of course, I could understand immediately why it used its power. Should I say, as expected from Tower of Trials? ''You''re annoying me in so many ways.'' They strengthened the monster to bring out a monster suitable for the hard difficulty level. I knew it from the moment I met the challenger from another world, but there were so many factors that it wouldn''t be strange if I died suddenly like a m-m. Of course Due to power ''Serenity'', The status effect: madness is lifted. I, who had prepared in advance for that factor that couldve resulted in my death, wasn''t normal as well. Status effect? ''I don''t know if it was poison, but I wouldn''t get affected by this kind of thing.'' Even though it was a variable I had never heard of or seen, I wasn''t an ordinary challenger. I was a ranker who even signed a contract with an administrator with the right of a pioneer. I was able to ovee the factors that I had never experienced before adjusting to the situation. After immediately lifting the status effect through the power of Serenity, I quickly closed the distance I had increased for a moment and ran toward the Darkness Devouring Snake. Perhaps it was quite a prudent attack by the Darkness Devouring Snake, it was visibly bewildered, but that was only for a short while. Maybe the Darkness Devouring Snake realized that I was a great threat to its life? It started attacking immediately without even trying to poke around with debuff-type skills. You could see that it was trying its best, unlike a while ago, as it had apletely different force. And that prediction turned into reality in the next moment when the Darkness Devouring Snake made a full-fledged attack. Bwaaaaaaaaaaa! It opened its gigantic mouth and then shot a dark beam of light as if it were vomiting. Of course Activating the skill Counter Shield. "Well, this is even better for me." Even after seeing that destructive beam, I immediately activated the skill without panicking. I could''ve shot one more sh to stop it from shooting the beam at all, but I didn''t do that because I had a deep thought that I could use its skill in reverse. Bababababababang! The dark beam struck the Counter shield and made a great impact, but it wasn''t unbearable. Of course, 80% of my mana was consumed to withstand the impact, but Using the soul of the Earth Snake to replenish mana. Even that returned to its original state after replenishing the mana by absorbing a soul that I had. Whiirrr A message popped up at that moment when the power of the dark beam was diminishing. Chargingplete. The skill ''Counter Shield'' is in a state where you can reflect the umted damage. It was a message that I could now start striking back. With the Counter Shield ced on the palm of my left hand, I immediately went to the back of the Darkness Devouring Snake. Of course, all the monsters nearby swarmed on me as though they weren''t nning to just let it happen, but The skill Counter Shield releases the umted damage at once. Baaaaaaaaaaang! All the monsters that were swarming me were eliminated by the dark beam emitted from the shield on my left hand. Despite that, the Darkness Devouring Snake wasn''t showing any movement. Did it get a rebound from using a skill that''s quite powerful? Even until I wiped out all the Earth Snakes, it didn''t show any proper movements. Seizing that opportunity, I stepped on its shadow, immediately activated the Lightning Sword Ki, and thrust my sword. Activating the skill ''ndestine Shadow''s Step.'' You''re stepping on the shadow of a living creature. Your strength temporarily increases by +3. First, my strength increased by +3 as I stepped on a shadow. Activating the skill Gust de. Skill Gust de imbues wind element to the de. Even the wind was mixed with the de by activating Gust de. And when I thrust the sword as it was, a streak of wind lightning was fired. Boooom! When the sh shot through the thrust touched the back of the Darkness Devouring Snake, the center of its upper body waspletely prated. You have in a Darkness Devouring Snake. Calcting the contribution points You hunted the Darkness Devouring Snake alone without anyone''s help. Challenger Han Sungyeun has a 100% stake in hunting the boss monster. Calctionplete. You gain 278 contribution points. A clean finish. Special task, ''contribution'' will now end. Challenger Han Sungyeun took 1st ce in the contribution ranking. Challenger Han sungyeun will receive an additional reward after the trial is over. And it was a clean turnaround. Chapter 77: An oddball (3) Chapter 77: An oddball (3) Chapter 77: An oddball (3) Skill ''Demon yer (C-)s Proficiency reached 100%. Skill ''Demon yer (C-)s ranked up. Skill level-up. You have absorbed the soul of the Darkness Devouring Snake. Proficiency increased by 9.7% Absorbing the soul. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 10. As a reward, ''Skill proficiency potion (B+)'' has been sent to your inventory. As a reward, you have received ''60,000 points''. As a reward, you have received ''1,000 SP''. As a bonus reward, you have received ''1,000 SP''. Please move to the waiting area. And Challenger Han Sungyeun has proved his contribution more than anyone else in the special task ''Contribution''. As a special task reward, you have received ''10,000 points''. As a special task reward, you have received ''1,500 SP''. Lastly, the additional rewards that I got by clearing the special task After ncing at the four messages that popped up, I soon looked around. Before I knew it, all the earth snakes were gone, and only Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk remained in the field. Kim Seunghoon was staring at me quietly, and Oh Choonsuk opened his mouth as though he was dumbfounded. "Just how?" I think he was asking what kind of trick I used to break through all the debuff skills of the Darkness Devouring Snake, but ''I can''t really answer him because I just broke through with the skill I acquired from the skillbination.'' Since the point when I was held back and almost died for nothing in the 4th floor trial due to an innate ability, I was prepared in advance for debuff-type abilities. A special way to break through? There was no such a thing. "I had a skill that I could use at times like this." Therefore, I answered that it was because I had the skill, without beating around the bush by making excuses. Only then, Oh Choonsuk scratched his head in surprise and admired it. "Huh So there''s a skill like that? I don''t think even Seunghoon-hyungnim had anything like that" Of course. Forceful Breakthrough was an original skill created bybining Sustain Battle and Contempt For The Weak. Sustain Battle, as well as Contempt For The Weak their ranks were low, but the value of these skills was greater than that of other useless skills. Of course, It didn''t match well with me, so I didn''t hesitate to throw them in abination, though. "Did you perhaps acquire that skill through skillbination, too?" "As expected from someone who has the same radiance as me, you know it well." "Even if the difficulty is on hard, the Tower doesn''t give you such insane skills, you see." Oh Choonsuk said so as though he was dumbfounded and let out a deep sigh. "Then I wouldn''t be able to acquire that skill in any way." I wonder what this meant? Wouldn''t be able to learn this skill in any way Not because I wasnt telling him how I got it, but he sounded like there''s no way to learn it at all. At that, I opened my mouth after thinking for a while. "What do you mean by you can''t acquire the skill?" "Because that''s an original skill created by skillbination." "But wouldn''t the same result be obtained using the samebination method?" "Not really." Oh Choonsuk smiled bitterly and continued his words. "You can''t create the same skill created by skillbination twice." "What do you" "Looks like you didn''t ask the administrator anything?" "?" "Skills created by skillbinations exist as originals. Skill acquisition methods and aptitudes don''t exist, and there''s no way to make it twice." "What?" "In a nutshell, even if I use the samebination method, I can''t make that game-breaking skillbined by you, Han Sungyeun-ssi, no matter what." "" So ording to those words, the ''Forceful Breakthrough'' Ibined was an original skill, so it had be a unique ability that couldn''t be made twice. And it also meant that I couldn''t learn the skill by following thebination method of other skills. At that, I closed my mouth for a moment, then opened my mouth with a feigned smile. "It''s a system that only the challengers who''re active at PvP would like." yer vs. yer. Those who specialize in battles between challengers would love this system. In any case, this would mean that not all potentialpetitors would acquire the same skills they had acquired. Perhaps Oh Choonsuk thought so too, he smiled bitterly, and Kim Seunghoon, who was next to him, shed a bloodyugh. "Not really. Not many people would be able to properly utilize skillbinations so It''s just an ability that doesn''t matter whether it exists or not." At his words, Oh Choonsuk let out a helplessugh and nodded his head. "That''s also true, too. In fact, if you don''t have a lot of skills, Skill Combination is an ability that can''t be used properly. Just like me right now." Oh Choonsuk, who was speaking in a tone that left a trace of slight regret, mumbled a little bit, and "However" Soon he turned his head and looked at me as though there were people who aren''t like that. Following that gaze, Kim Seunghoon also turned his head to look at me, and he opened his mouth after being silent for a moment. "But there are exceptions wherever you go." I let out a bitter smile at the gaze that seemed to be looking at some kind of different race, and Kim seunghoon let out a sigh. "And that''s what we call an oddball." In short, he meant that I was an extraordinary being. *** Reaper Scans *** The three of us chatted for just a while. At the end of our Trial, we didn''t have anything special to say, so we decided to talk lightly through the friend function and returned to the waiting room. It was natural. No one who climbed the Tower of Trial would be negligent or dy checking the rewards. I also entered the waiting room right away to check and use the rewards obtained in the Trial of the 10th floor. And More than a 1000 people have cleared the 10th Trial. The system expansion is starting. Upon entering the waiting room, the system began to expand after a long time. ''Dimension Shifting'' is being added to the marketce category. The first expansion was a ''Dimension Shifting'' function out of the blue. Looks like it was made to allow traveling to another dimension, but ''That''s a meaningless expansion.'' I wonder how many people would like to move from the Earth dimension to another dimension? Dimension Shifting in a situation where a lot of people were dying due to challengers from another world. In fact, it was a feature that even suicidal people wouldn''t use. The [Observation Territory] of the administrator of Earth dimension is expanded. The [Interfere Territory] of the administrator of Earth dimension is expanded. The second expansion was the [Observation Territory] and [Interfere Territory] of the administrators. Due to the expansion of the Earth dimension administrator''s [Observation Territory], it is now possible tomunicate with the administrator who has consistently shown interest and supported the power even in the waiting room. Due to the expansion of the Earth dimension administrator''s [Interfere territory], the challenger will be able to have additional contracts with the administrator and move to the administrator''s territory. In short,munication with administrators will be avable even in the waiting room, just like in trials. And the main content was that challengers could make additional contracts with other administrators. Of course However, at this time, the additional contract with the administrator can be made only once, and thereafter, the additional contract will be limited. Restrictions existed regarding additional contracts. "So in short, the additional contract is literally an additional contract, unlike the previous contract." I wouldn''t be able to cancel the original contract with the Iron-blooded Monarch since it was my first contract, but I could end the rtionship at any time if I had an additional contract with other administrators. ''But wouldn''t it just be the administrator''s loss in this case?'' I mean, it was good for me, but I thought that only the administrator who was going to sign an additional contract would undergo a loss in this case. However, since the administrator is also being employed by the tower, there must be some kind of benefit. For that reason, I immediately cleared my doubts about those and opened my inventory. It was to check the reward that I had acquired after clearing the Trial of the 10th floor. Skill Proficiency Potion Rank: B+ A special potion specially brewed by the Tower for those with skills. Upon consuming it, you can arbitrarily increase the Proficiency of one of your skills by 20%. Insane. I smiled softly at the effect that I had no other choice but to say so. A potion that increases skill proficiency? As a matter of fact, this potion was no different from a wee rain in a drought, as I was suffering due to the slow growth of skill ranks. "Status."

Originally, the numbers of my stats weren''t this high, but now Id be like a monster. Even the skills I had in thebined Trial on the 10th floor had grown quite a bit, so in fact, my strength was greatly enhanced. However, I didn''t open the status window to check that, but It was to check the Proficiency of the current skills before using the Skill Proficiency Potion. Putting aside all the small skills, I opened the description window of only the skills with high power. Skill - Triple Laceration (A-) Proficiency - 31.7% Basic effect - Using mana, strengthen a de for three attacks. Detailed effect - Upon using the skill, the cutting force of ded attacks increases by 1.5/2.0/2.5 times after each attack. Triple Laceration had high power, but it had low Proficiency, perhaps because I didn''t use it that much. It could be said that the Proficiency was raised well since the Proficiency of an A- rank skill that wasn''t used well is 31.7%, but ''But that doesn''t necessarily mean that it''s a skill that I''ve developed well enough for me to use the Skill Proficiency Potion.'' I decided to pass on the Triple Laceration skill and moved to another skill. Skill - Winds Blessing (A-) Proficiency - 83.2% Effect - Upon dering the skill name, increase all speeds by 10%. This effect can be stacked up to seven times. Upon reaching max stacks, the skill receives a one-day cooldown. It''s no exaggeration to say that the Wind''s Blessing was my main skill since I used it so often that my Proficiency had already risen this much. ''Moreover, if I use the skill proficiency potion, it''s a skill that it''ll immediately rise up to A rank.'' In fact, it was so different that I had decided on which skill to increase my Proficiency at this point. However, it felt like something had gone undone, so I checked out the other skills a little bit more. But in conclusion, my options didn''t increase. It was understandable. Skill - Lighting Sword Ki (B) Proficiency - 7.3% Exnation - The Flickering Lightning ns signature ability. Basic effect - Lighting imbues itself onto your sword ki. This effect cannot be activated by those who can''t use sword ki. Additional effect - Upon activation, your ability to control the sword ki increases greatly and also allows you to discharge the sword ki. The skill proficiency of Lightning Sword Ki hadn''t risen much yet, as it was obtained by absorbing the soul of Baek Sunhak in the arena. Skill - Ashen Blood (B-) Proficiency - 47.8% Exnation - An transcendent trait developed by a mutant vampire. Effect - The users regeneration increases proportionally to the users tenacity. The regeneration is increased by 3 fold when inflicted bodily harm, and up to 40% of the pain is blocked depending on the damage. Ashen Blood had a pretty high level of Proficiency, but it wasn''t possible to achieve a rank increase with a Proficiency increase of 20%. Skill - Counter Shield (B) Proficiency - 2.8% Basic Effect - When you cast the skill, you can summon a red shield formed with mana. Additional Effect - The size and strength of the shield can be adjusted in proportion to the amount of mana you pour, and the generated shield can reflect 25% of damage received. At this time, as long as the shield isn''t broken, damage can be umted and released at once. Most of the newlybined skills, including the Counter Shield, didn''t surpass 5% of their Proficiency. You have consumed a skill proficiency potion (B+). Please choose a skill to increase your Proficiency. "Wind''s Blessing." Confirmed. Challenger Han Sungyeun''s skill proficiency of ''Wind''s Blessing (A-)'' increases by 20%. Skill ''Wind''s Blessing (A-)s Proficiency reached 100%. Skill ''Wind''s Blessing (A-)s ranked up. "Oh" Since it was an item obtained as a reward for breaking through a trial, the effect was certain. I opened the status window with anticipation at the message that Wind''s Blessing had risen up to Rank A. No, to be precise, I was going to open the status window. However The two messages that popped up forced my finger to stop opening it. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch invites you to the administrator territory. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the administrator territory. I was invited by an administrator. Not one, but two at the same time. Chapter 78: Earnest Wish (1) Chapter 78: Earnest Wish (1) Chapter 78: Earnest Wish (1) Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch invites you to the administrator territory. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the administrator territory. "..." I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the two messages in front of me. I saw that the administrators'' Observation territory and Interfere territory had increased, but Now I could feel how powerful it had be. An administrator territory? It was quite surprising to be able to move a challenger to a ce other than the waiting room. Of course, even if I didnt give permission, it''s been thanks to the Tower that the challenger has been able to move to a space other than the waiting room. Whether it was a trial area or amon area, it was the same. Most of the teleportation was made by the challengers themselves or the tower forcibly moving them. But now, the administrators could autonomously offer it to the challenger. ''Looks like I can decline it, but I guess that''s almost pointless.'' For the challenger, the contract with the administrator takes a huge weight. Starting from the fact that you can acquire this transcendent ability called power that''spletely different from skills, and You could get some information or advice from the administrators, so you can''t treat it lightly. So, in reality, it was safe to say that there was no option of not epting these kinds of invitations. Therefore, I had no intention of refusing the administrator''s invitation. However ''It''s a bit awkward if I get invited at the same time'' I had no choice but to be lost in thought as the Iron-blooded Monarch and White Crane Sword Saint sent invitations at the same time. Even if I had a contract with the Iron-blooded Monarch, the White Crane Sword Saint was an administrator who showed great interest in me. Since the additional contract function has been activated this time, some talk may be rted to the contract. "" After thinking about it for a moment, I closed my eyes tightly and made my choice. You have epted the invitation of Administrator, ''Iron-blooded Monarch''. It''s the reality that even if there''s a prey called additional contract right in front of you, you can''t ignore the existing contract. Therefore, it''d be right to respond to the invitation message from the Iron-blooded Monarch first, putting aside the White Crane Sword Saint. I took my action quickly as I''ve clearly decided, and You have epted the invitation and are being teleported to the administrator territory. As soon as I epted the invitation, the surrounding scenery changed in an instant. You have entered the world of Iron-blood. I moved on as I watched the sight of dozens of swords stuck out randomly in the white snowy manor. It felt quite fresh even though it hadn''t been that long. If I walked through the manor nervously in the past for a sudden meeting with an administrator, now I was walking with some expectations. I didn''t know why she called me, but she probably didn''t call me to say something silly. Then it would mean that there was some reason to summon me, so I couldn''t help but look forward to it. With that thought in mind Creaaak. After arriving, I opened the door to the hut without hesitation. And "As expected, I knew you''d choose me." There was the Iron-blooded Monarch who was smiling for some reason. *** The hut''s interior hadn''t changed much from what it was before. Deer decorations hung on the wall, and the table that gave off a feeling of an office was the same. Should I say it felt like a reproduction of the atmosphere of the middle ages? But if you asked me if there was anything different from before, there was. "Why are you smiling like that?" It was the attitude of the Iron-blooded Monarch towards me. It gave me a bad taste when I saw her smiling with that cold face that didn''t suit her. Even more so when I saw the snacks on the table, she didn''t serve when I signed a contract with her. "I don''t have a choice but to smile if the contractor is only doing cute things, don''t you think so?" "I don''t think I''ve acted that much to be treated like this, though" "You did. Well, should I say you made such a choice?" "...?" After thinking about what I did for a moment, the answer immediately popped up. ''Is it because of the choice I made when I was invited to the administrator''s territory earlier?'' She might have liked that I chose her after contemting which one to choose between the Iron-blooded Monarch and the White Crane Sword Saint. "Thanks to you, I won the bet with the other administrators, and well, I don''t feel bad in many ways." I didn''t bother to ask what she was betting on and who she was betting with. "" Because somehow, I felt like I knew the answer. ''I was wondering why they sent the invite at the same time, so it was for something like that'' Now I seemed to understand exactly why the Iron-blooded Monarch was smiling. To think that she made such a foolish bet and was so happy about winning that bet. I could even feel a sense of cuteness in the behavior that was far from her first impression, which was a cold-hearted beauty. "Why are you looking at me with that kind of eyes?" "No, I was just looking at you." "Your eyes were a little disquieting" "Must be your imagination." As I somehow made excuses to the Iron-blooded Monarch, she stared at me for a moment and then shrugged her shoulders. "...Well, I guess it doesn''t matter. Anyway, let''s put aside the things that don''t matter and talk about the main point." As soon as I heard the word, the main point. I immediately looked at her with my eyes shining. ''So she did have something to talk about.'' What kind of administrator would summon a contractor just for a bet? The bet she was talking about was only a secondary factor, and she had a separate main point. Having felt that, I intuitively asked her. "Are you finally telling me why you called me here?" "So you did assume that I called you because I had a separate business with you." "To some extent. We aren''t close to calling each other out to talk about useless things." "I think that''s a bit sad to hear when we even signed a contract, but" The Iron-blooded Monarch made a disappointed face for a moment but soon smiled and changed her expression. "Unfortunately, that''s the correct answer." "You know that the system expanded when you reached the 11th floor waiting room, right?" "Yes, I do. That''s why I was able toe here." I was pretty sure it was the Dimension Shifting function and expansion of the Observation and Interfere territories of the administrators? I was able toe to the administrators territory thanks to that, so there''s no way I wouldn''t know. "Then I guess there''s nothing to exin further." The Iron-blooded Monarch made a satisfied face and then continued. "The expansion of the administrator''s Interfere area wasn''t made just to include functions such as invitations to the administrator''s territory." "...?" "The real purpose of the expansion of the Interfere area is to allow administrators to properly nurture the challengers." "Please exin in more detail." "Instead of exining it, it''s something like this." "What do you" The moment I was bewildered, the Iron-blooded Monarch snapped her finger without hesitation. Snap! And The administrator ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' is gifting power to their contractor using [Interefere Territory]. You can acquire one of the powers sold by administrator ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' at random. At the same time, a gift I couldn''t have imagined was poured out on me. *** Reaper Scans *** I couldn''te to my senses and stared nkly at the message that appeared in front of me for a while. The administrator ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' is gifting power to their contractor using [Interefere Territory]. You can acquire one of the powers sold by administrator ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' at random. I can acquire a power at random? This was like a bolt out of the blue for me, who had been collecting SP like a madman by breaking through the trials. "Can you actually give people powers like this randomly?" I couldn''t hold back my question and immediately asked the Iron-blooded Monarch in the end. If this thing called power was something that could freely be given at the administrators'' discretion "Not a chance." But what came back wasn''t the answer I was expecting. "The Tower never lets you give anything for nothing." "" "Moreover, as the nurturing of the contractor returns as a profit of the administrator, there''s no way that the administrator could give power casually in terms of structure." "Which means?" "It means that I''ve already paid enough price to the Tower to be able to gift a power randomly." I couldn''t understand. If it wasnt that easy to give powers, then why was she giving me a power like this? Curiosity arose about that, and I couldn''t help but let that questione out of my mouth. "Why are you helping me this much?" I just couldn''t understand why she was paying such a price just to give me power. For the Iron-blooded Monarch, even if I was her first contractor, my value wasn''t that high. If you looked at the challengers from another world, their potential was much higher than those from the Earth dimension. But why was she paying such a price to give power to me, who couldn''t even take first ce in the earth dimension? ''It might be better for her to find another challenger since the additional contract function has been added.'' As I was lost in thought with those, the Iron blooded Monarch opened her mouth. "I see. For you, his kind of treatment would be shocking. "To be honest, your power isn''t bad, Iron-blooded Monarch." "Although the price is high, the powers are quite useful, and there are many aspects that should be better than other administrators." None of the challengers I''d ever seen had the power of an administrator so strong. Even in cases such as Katheryn Bte or Kim Seungjun, their powers weren''t that strong. Of course, even though they seemed to havebat-rted powers, their strength wasn''t as strong as a skill. On the other hand, among the powers of the Iron-blooded Monarch that I could purchase, many abilities were several times better than the skills, as they were specialized inbat. In particr, it was hard to estimate the value of the powers, such as Serenity, which removes a penalty-rted ability. "I don''t understand why such a person is willing to go this far for me." Then the Iron-blooded Monarch let out a deep sigh and spoke. "...Looks like you won''t ept it even if I said you''re the first contract that I signed a contract with in decades." The Iron-blooded Monarch continued talking while twisting her long silver hair as if there was nothing more to hide. I saw a possibility in you, and that''s why I''m investing like this. "Possibility?" The administrators receive additional rewards ording to the level to which they nurture the challengers, but they''re never nurturing challengers for that purpose. Everyone invests in the challenger to achieve their own earnest wish. It''s safe to say that I''m no different on that matter." Her eyes suddenly became serious as though she had a wish to be fulfilled. "I can''t tell you right now because it''s not yet the right time for it, but one day you''ll know." Although the conclusion wasn''t clearly made, at least I felt morefortable. Because, after all, the favor that the Iron-blooded Monarch provided me wasn''t without reason. There was no such thing as free in the world. For that reason, I thought there was a possibility that I was being used, but Seeing the Iron-blooded Monarch get serious for an instant, it seems like she had high hopes for me. ''I don''t know what the hell she means by that earnest wish, but I guess it doesn''t matter.'' The Iron-blooded Monarch did tell me that I''d find it outter and More than anything else, it took a huge part that she saw me as an equal trade opponent. Give and take. If there''s anything she wants as much as she gives me, it means I have the initiative. Ultimately, that earnest wish she wants to achieve will be achieved only when I be strong. Therefore, I silently epted the system message without saying a word. You''ll randomly acquire one of the powers sold by the administrator ''Iron-Blooded Monarch''. The Iron-blooded Monarch saw me as a legitimate trade partner and a contractor. Then there was nothing to hesitate for. Whaaaaap! A new power is being engraved on your soul! I''ll take what I need to take and achieve the things that need to be achieved and continue to grow. Chapter 79: Earnest Wish (2) Chapter 79: Earnest Wish (2) Chapter 79: Earnest Wish (2) The moment when the dazzling system message disappeared. "" A new message appeared in front of my eyes along with a feeling of a lead being ced on my heart. Power: Sword of Iron-blood (A-) has been engraved on your soul. Sword of Iron-blood. I''d obtained the power to summon a sword made of mana at any time. The power that I obtained, Sword of Iron-blood, was a power in which the ability of the summoned sword was also determined by the swordsmanship skill and mana level. As such, it''d have taken quite a long time to buy it if I was going to buy it at the exclusive contractor shop, but ''I''m not that happy.'' Even though I had obtained a better power than I expected, I was surprisingly calm. It was the same as well as in the trial of the 10th floor. It was probably because I had obtained many rewards several times. Let''s say, just a fine feeling that I got a good card in my hand? I had no other feelings than that. Would it be because of that? "Don''t tell me you got the most useless power?" The Iron-Blooded Monarch, who was sitting down and observing me, widened her eyes and asked me that question. Of course, I didn''t get as bad of a power as she thought, so I immediately shook my head. "I got the power I thought I needed at this point." "?" "I''ve obtained the Sword of Iron-blood." "That''s Amazing." The Iron-blooded Monarch continued speaking as though she was relieved. "Sword of Iron-blood is an ability that I enjoyed using before. The higher the level of the swordsmanship skill, and the higher the mana is, the stronger the sword bes." The ability to grow stronger ording to the caster''s growth. And other than that, there were a lot of pretty good options when I read it before. "Plus, the necessity to purchase an item rted to the sword disappears too." "That''s correct. You can pretend not to use a sword and suddenly summon it to make a surprise attack." In fact, no other ability was as important as this for someone who uses a sword. After exchanging a conversation, the Iron-Blooded Monarch smiled as if her mood lightened up. "I guess it was worth it to use the points I''ve umted so far to give you the gift." She was clearly expecting something from me in her tone, emphasizing that she had made a loss by granting me power. I immediately realized what it was and opened my mouth. "Thank you. It''ll definitely be a power that''ll aid me forever." The Iron-blooded Monarch twitched the corners of her mouth and curled her eyebrows. "You don''t have to mention it doing this much is nothing for my precious contractor." After saying that, the Iron-blooded Monarch picked up the snack on the table and chewed it. Following that, I also took a bite of the snack and chewed it, and she soon opened her mouth again. "Now that I''ve given you the power that I wanted to give, let''s talk about something else." "?" "What I''m going to talk about now will spend your rights to your questions. Would that be alright with you?" "Howe?" "Unlike other information, the tower will impose sanctions on me if I tell you these without any cost." Information important enough that the tower could impose sanctions on her? I answered while nodding my head as it definitely wouldn''t be some kind of nonsense. "Sure. I didn''t really have anywhere to use it, so I just kept on stacking it." It was just then when I answered so All question rights held by the challenger, Han Sungyeun, will be consumed. "!?" I was bewildered by the message that all of the question rights I had were used up instantly. ''Just how important is this story going to be?'' I had a lot of question rights left since there had been very few cases where I used the question. However, as soon as all the question rights were used, I noticed that the story from now on wouldn''t be anything ordinary. "" At that, as I looked at the Iron-blooded Monarch with a serious expression, she soon opened her mouth. "Previously, you must''ve killed a challenger from another world on the 9th floor." "Yes. It was the first time I met a challenger from a Murim world, so I had a hard time too." I could still clearly remember the name of the challenger I encountered at that time. Baek Sunhak. The old man who introduced himself as the Elder of the Murim alliance was a challenger from another world who appeared on the 9th floor. "But why are you mentioning that all of a sudden?" "It seems that the title of the old tiger became a problem." "?" "Because of his title, Elder of the Murim Alliance, a person is looking for you from the dimension of Murim." "What do you mean" "It must be so-called revenge." He just died because he failed on an intrusion to a floor, but an act of revenge? I scoffed, aghast at those absurd remarks. "Don''t tell me the Murim alliance is some unpeaceful organization?" It could be if it was made up of unscrupulous people like gangsters, Yakuza, or Mafia. However "No, in fact, they''re rather a group of moderates in the Murim, though" I spit out curses to the response of the Iron-blooded Monarch''s begrudging answer. "How can those sons of bitches be" To think that they''re making a fuss pointing a de at me, bbering things about payback or whatever. Moreover, the ones doing this act were moderate organizations in the dimension of Murim. All kinds of cuss words came to my mind in an instant, but I put up with it and opened my mouth. "So are you saying that the Murim alliance is after me to kill me?" In conclusion, she said that someone was searching for me, so I thought it was the Murim alliance. And as much as they were making a fuss about paying the grudge back, I thought they''d send me a tracer to kill me. But that wasn''t it. "That''s not it." "What?" "The Murim alliance is rather unsettled, and I heard that they''re just busy trying to take the ce of the man in power." "" "The Murim alliance will search for you and remember you, but they''ll not make a huge movement to eliminate you right now." In short, it means that they''re more busy acting to upy the vacant ce of Baek Sunhak than killing me. After hearing that, it became even harder to figure out who was trying to kill me. "Then who the hell is trying to kill me?" I asked the question without hesitation, but the answer that returned was an answer I couldn''t have imagined. "The Namgung noble family." "?" "The Sword Dragon of the Namgung noble family is looking for you." "" Someone I''d never met was looking for me. *** Reaper Scans *** I wonder how much time had passed? After the Iron-blooded Monarch gave some exnations, I could grasp the situation. "So, to sum things up, a noble family that''s like a pir of the Murim alliance recognized me, and they''re running wild to kill me, huh." "To be precise, the only aristocratic family doing that is the Namgung noble family, and even within them, only Namgung Hyuk, the young master, is looking for you." "That''s ridiculous." It was really ridiculous. To think a guy who had nothing to do with me was looking to kill me when the Murim alliance wasn''t doing anything ''How in the world does the way of thinking work in the people of the Murim?'' I was getting goosebumps at this point. I was on the verge of death due to Baek Sunhak''s preemptive attack, but I had a narrow escape from death. But the fact that Murim still had justification to kill me was surprising. However, the Iron-blooded Monarch spoke as though that was natural. "I don''t know why he''s looking for you but when Murim searches for a person, it doesn''t really end well." In those words, the experience of having heard of numerous incidents was on it. "Then that means I won''t have a good ending like the countless precedents." "Something like that. I think you should be prepared for a battle of life and death at least." "" "Don''t tell me, are you acquainted with that young master of the Namgung noble family?" "I''ll be damned if that''s true. The young master of the Namgung noble family is a greenhorn who''s just twenty years old." The Iron-Blooded Monarch scoffed and brushed her frizzy hair backward. "I''ve been an administrator for several decades. The years I''ve lived from him arepletely different." "Then how do you know about the young master of the Namgung noble family?" "There''s a way to know everything. Well, that doesn''t matter, so let''s move on." The Iron-blooded Monarch evaded the point all of a sudden, narrowed her eyes, and said. "The young master of the Namgung noble family is probably several times stronger than you." "..." "He must be a fairly-high level challenger since he has reached the 20th floor in the Tower of Trials." "20th floor? Then don''t I have a chance at winning?" "Not at all." When I tilted my head at her confident denial, quickly, she answered. "The challengers of the Murim dimension are at an entirely new level in terms of the strength of their own body. It''s a world in which only those who''ve been insane about martial arts have lived for hundreds and thousands of years. As it''s a world full of people who have honed their strength and be godlike, no other world can look down on the effectiveness of their method for enhancing their strength." Hearing that, I had no other choice but to keep my mouth shut. A world where hundreds and thousands of years have been devoted to martial arts. How strong would the ones who grew up in such a world be? ''Even Baek Sunhak, although his physical abilities and skills were limited, he still overwhelmed me.'' What was worse was that it was after defeating that ck knight I met on the 5th floor. I was prepared, and I had the confidence that I wouldn''t be as helpless as before. But I couldn''t help but marvel at an old man''s unbelievable strength. He tried to give me death till the very end by increasing his speed to impede my movement. On the other hand, I was almost defeated even though I was equipped with a strength that didn''t match the floor level with an ability that specializes in growth. That difference was huge, and I quickly epted it calmly. "Then he''s on apletely different level from me, huh." "It''ll be difficult for you to survive if you face him directly on a floor." It was only for a moment that Iughed bitterly at the death sentence I had not heard in a long time. "But it''s not entirely impossible, so I''ll give you the information I know for now." As soon as she started talking about the young master of the Namgung noble family, I started to concentrate. The words that followed were something to be listened to carefully. Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky. He''s a person who uses the grand nickname, which meant dragon of the sword that rules the blue sky. At the same time, he was the next master of the family who''d inherit the Namgung noble family, a famous family in Murim. And his real name is Namgung Hyuk, and there was no one who wouldnt know his name when you mentioned it to any challengers from the Murim dimension. His swordsmanship would surpass A-rank in terms of skill level, and so on and so forth. A lot of talks were exchanged. Only after devising a n against him did the conversation''s heat cool down, and the Iron-blooded Monarch gave permission to leave. "It seems I have told you everything I can, so you may leave now." I nodded at the voice that seemed to have achieved all her goals. Originally, I was in the middle of checking the rewards in the waiting room, so I didn''t have time to stay any longer. "Alright. Then I''ll see you in the waiting room on the 12th floor next time we meet." The Iron-blooded Monarch responded with satisfaction to my brief words "I''ll be looking forward to your future." Moving to the 11th floor waiting room . Then, a message appeared in my sight, and the ce changed instantly. From a medieval-style hut full of gloominess to a deste waiting room. "" Of course, I was quietly adapting to it and was going to continue what I had to do, but Ring! Ring! Ring! Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the administrator territory. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the admini Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to At the invitation messages that popped up in an instant, I had no choice but to stop what I was about to do. The administrator White Crane Sword Saint had sent me an invitation. Not just once, but countless times. Chapter 80: Earnest Wish (3) Chapter 80: Earnest Wish (3) Chapter 80: Earnest Wish (3) Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the administrator territory. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the admini Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to It was only a brief moment that I was bewildered by the countless invitation messages pouring in. Soon, I realized why the White Crane Sword Saint sent out so many invitation messages. ''Is this because I didn''t ept her invitation when she invited me at the same time as the Iron-Blooded Monarch?'' It was just a spection, but perhaps the White Crane Sword Saint thought I had no intention of epting an invitation. So I wondered if that was why she was restlessly sending the invitation message out of impatience. In any case, even with the system expansion this time, they said that the [additional contract] can only be made once, so it couldn''t be helped for him but to be anxious as an administrator. After assuming up to that point, I immediately opened my mouth. The administrator''s observation territory had now been expanded, and they said that the administrators could watch the challengers not only on the trial stage but also in the waiting room. Which means? ''It would mean the White Crane Sword Saint is also looking at me.'' It was also an opportunity to tell the White Crane Sword Saint that I had a will to sign an additional contract as well. White Crane Sword Saint. The power this administrator has isn''t something to be taken lightly. Even the power of Sword Ki mastery was already overpowered, what else could there be if it''s the other ones? Although there may not be that many powers that are at the level of Sword Ki Mastery, there would be quite a few. Therefore, I concluded that there was nothing wrong with signing an additional contract with the White Crane Sword Saint. "It''s not that I''m not nning to ept the invitation." There was no need for me to tell the White Crane Sword Saint all this and that. Such as why I prioritized the invitation sent by the Iron-Blooded Monarch or didn''t ept her invitation immediately. The White Crane Sword Saint wasn''t that foolish for me to exin all of that one by one. "I just need a little time to prepare, so please wait, and I''ll ept the invitation soon." Perhaps the White Crane Sword Saint became aware that I was willing to sign an additional contract? Administrator White Crane Sword Saint puffs out her cheeks and replies that she understood it. Such a message came up, and finally, the invitation messages pouring down like rain became silent. I didn''t feel sofortable looking at the message of an administrator who seemed to be quite elderly, inting her cheeks, though. Seeing that administrator messages aren''t popping up, I guess she understood the meaning of what I said. ''Actually, I could''ve just responded to the White Crane, but.'' I didn''t immediately ept the invitation of the White Crane Sword Saint on purpose. This was for me to take the front foot in dealing with the administrator. Those who didn''t know their own worth must''ve responded to this invitation and signed a contract immediately, but After meeting Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk this time, I clearly realized how absurd I was as a challenger. ''Except for Kim Seunghoon, theres no one that can bepared to me on the Korean server right now.'' At least among Korea''s challengers, probably no one had achieved growth as well as I did. Therefore, I''d be a pretty attractive contract partner for an administrator who trains challengers and gets rewarded by the Tower. The first contract was arranged by the Tower, but additional contracts could be made under the agreement between the challenger and the administrator. For that reason, the White Crane Sword Saint, who had been watching me since the 9th floor, felt impatient and sent me an invitation as soon as the [Interfere Territory] was expanded. ''It would mean that the White Crane Sword Saint is quite interested in me.'' Then I had to make use of it. By establishing that I was the one who was taking the lead in terms of additional contracts and moving to the administrator territory. And at the same time, make the White Crane Sword Saint think I was already caught in her fis so she couldn''t take me lightly. In this way, I''d be able to maintain my value for a longer period of time. It was simple psychological warfare. By nature, human beings tend to be more obsessed with jewels that are about to be reached than the jewels held in their hands. Of course, such a reason was the basis for not epting the invitation right away, but That didn''t mean I turned down the invitation when I had nothing to do. I had to properly check the Wind''s Blessing, which I couldn''t previously because I was talking to the Iron-Blooded Monarch. And I was also going to convert the soul that the [Darkness Devouring Snake] left in the trial of the 10th floor into stats. As I knew clearly what to do, I opened the skill window of Wind''s Blessing without wasting any more time. And Skill - Winds Blessing (A-) Proficiency - 0% Effect - Upon dering the skill name, increase all speeds by 10%. This effect can be stacked up to seven times. Upon reaching max stacks, 1% of total mana will be consumed every minute.. Upon seeing the skill window of Wind''s Blessing, I couldn''t help but be astonished. "Oh" The cooldown given as a penalty for the final stack had disappeared. To be urate, the penalty of the final stack didn''t disappear but was changed to a penalty of consuming 1% of total mana power every minute, though At least I felt satisfied that I wouldn''t experience as many troubling situations because of not being able to use the Wind''s Blessing. ''Well, for mana, I''ll just have to make an alternate method to replenish it anyway'' Obviously, in this case, 1% of the total mana would be consumed every minute, so the regeneration amount would be more important than the amount of mana pool. While thinking about that, I absorbed the soul of the Darkness Devouring snake. This was to prevent it from being consumed by Necromancy''s passive shield by any chance. Permanently increasing your stats by absorbing the soul of Darkness devouring snake. Strength increased by 4. Agility increased by 3. Stamina increased by 3. Mana increased by 6. Tenacity increased by 4. As a bunch of stats went up, the pleasure of growth rose up all over my body. Considering the difficulty of hunting the Darkness Devouring Snake, which was surprisingly easy, it was a pretty good reward, but Acquiring one of the Darkness Devouring Snake''s skills. Maybe I was lucky this time. The rewards didn''t stop there this time around. You have received the skill ''Mana Operation (A-)''. One of the Darkness Devouring Snake''s skills was acquired through skill absorption, which is activated with a certain probability. It was a whopping A- rank, not just a random mediocre ranked skill. Skill - Mana Operation (A-) Proficiency - 0% Effect - With regards to mana operation, you have stepped into the realm of natural talent, and most of the restrictions rted to mana management will be lifted. However, skill proficiency increases only through independent realization, and the frequency of usage doesn''t affect Proficiency. "I was really lucky." No way to think that I was able to acquire this kind of skill by absorbing the soul. A- rank skills were rarely dropped, even as a reward for trial, but acquiring it through Necromancy? Currently, I could say that it was like I won a lottery. ''Every time this happens, it sinks in that Necromancy is an overpowered innate ability.'' When ites to growth, other innate abilities wouldn''t be able to keep up with it. While feeling satisfied, I slowly read the description of the Mana operation skill. And as soon as I finished reading the exnation, I raised the corners of my mouth. -With regards to mana operation, you have stepped into the realm of natural talent, and most of the restrictions rted to mana management will be lifted. What this sentence meant was simple I can wield and perform mana operations like a person with great aptitude. Moreover, most of the restrictions rted to mana operation are lifted, which means I can use mana the way I want to. Of course, there had to be a penalty that the Proficiency wouldn''t rise at all if there was no independent realization, but that couldn''t be helped. ''Even if I don''t get that independent realization, there''ll be a way to increase my proficiency as I climb the tower.'' Just like the ''Skill Proficiency Potion'' acquired as amon reward for the trial of the 10th floor. It was more important to establish a foothold for growth based on the rewards of trials rather than talent. The higher the growth power, the more opportunities I''d be getting to raise my skill level. And it''s the Tower of Trials that makes it possible. *** Reaper Scans *** "" Soon, I got up from my seat and began raising the mana in my body. As stated in the mana operation skill, I had now been freed from most of the restrictions rted to mana operation. Which means? ''It would mean that in terms of mana abilities, my skill would be in a different league.'' It didn''t take that long to confirm that fact. The moment after concentrating the mana into my right foot and stomping it. aaaaam..!! The wind pressure created at the point of impact was so intense that it left a graze on my cheek. It waspletely different from the simple strengthening of the body through the mana circuit before. ''It''d be safe to assume that my physical ability has increased several times.'' It was then Skill ''Mana Operation (A-)'' activated, and the mana circuit inside the body is greatly affected. Skill ''Mana Circuit (D)'' is forcibly upgraded by the skill ''Mana Operation (A-)''. The skill rank of the mana circuit changed as its Proficiency rose significantly due to Mana Operation. Due to the growth of the skill level, the mana circuit inside the body also started to grow rapidly. "!?" Crunch! As the branch of the mana circuit multiplied and became bigger, it felt like the path through which the mana flows was getting wider. And after a while, the pain subsided, and a message appeared in front of my eyes. The rank of skill ''Mana Circuit (D)'' has been forcibly adjusted to C+. I felt dazed looking at the skill level that had risen several ranks at once. "This is different from what I expected." Killing two birds with one stone. In fact, I didn''t even think about the increase in the performance of the mana circuit, but the skill rank was forcibly increased through the mana operation. ''Then maybe?'' As a result, I immediately started to activate other skills through mana operation one by one. Most of the skills can''t be used unless the caster''s capability matches the condition. Therefore there''s this thing called skill aptitude which exists, and the method of acquiring the skill is defined. ''Of course, thanks to the Tower of Trials, you could learn skills even by ignoring the skill aptitude, though.'' If you don''t directly use an ability that''sparable to the effect of the skill once, you''ll never be able to acquire the skill. On the other hand, what if you didn''t know how to use the ability of that certain skill, but still acquired the skill? It was simple. Just like how the mana circuit within the body grew as the rank of the mana circuit increased. I''d be able to use the skills I had in stronger abilities that match my current self. Therefore, it was a little difficult, but I was able to activate the skills once by using mana operations one after another. Skill ''Triple Laceration (A-)''s proficiency is increased by 8% by the skill ''Mana Operation (A-)''. I made the skill effect to work to activate the mana explosively every time I swung the sword. Skill ''Instant eleration(C-)'' is forcibly upgraded by the skill ''Mana Operation (A-)''. The rank of skill ''Instant eleration (C-)'' has been forcibly adjusted to B. I upgraded Instant eleration, which made my whole body light as a temporary body strengthening. Skill ''Counter Shield (B-)''s proficiency is increased by 7% by the skill ''Mana Operation (A-)''. Based on the skillposition, I condensed the mana on the outside and reproduced it by myself. Through that process, I raised my skill proficiencies and even their ranks. "My speed of growth is really insane." I couldn''t help butugh at my skills which should''ve taken months to rank up. However, I was quite surprised that I could easily bring out the effects of skills by myself. ''I thought it''d be quite difficult to bring out its effect without using a skill.'' Since I had acquired the skills without any aptitude at all, it was an attempt with a thought in my mind that I could manifest them only in theory, and I may not be able to pull it off at all. But I couldn''t help but be surprised looking at the skills growing smoothly. Although I soon figured out where the cause of this smooth activationid. ''It''s probably because of that A- rank skill, Mana Operation.'' To think that there was this kind of ability that said most of the restrictions rted to mana operations are lifted. As I wasughing in vain because of this, two administrators who were paying attention to me sent me a message. Administrator Iron-Blooded Monarch once again marvels at the growth potential of the contractor. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint praises your marvelous idea. Both of them were surprised as though they were looking at me, activating the skills, but In fact, even if I knew how the skill worked, my original self wouldn''t have been able to bring out the skills. ''I was just able to somehow cause the skills to change thanks to the Mana Operation skill.'' Knowing that, I felt my guilty conscience prick a little, but I tried my best to ignore that feeling and continued the confirmation. However The skill didn''t activate as easily as before. Because the ability I was trying to activate right now was ''Sword Ki''. It was to raise the skill proficiency of the Lightning Sword Ki, but it wasn''t easy to bring out the effects of power. "" For some reason, even if I tried to follow the skill diagram like when I was activating Triple Laceration, I couldn''t. The Triple Laceration skill simply needed the mana ced on the sword to be activated when it was striking the enemy. So, I thought it would work if I ced weaker mana into the de of the swordpared to Triple Laceration and covered it up with a coating. But that wasn''t it. "It''scking." The Lightning Sword Ki didn''t activate, perhaps because there was no sense that the sword felt like my own body. ''Howe?'' I thought I had ced enough mana on the sword, and the coating was perfect. But ultimately, I couldn''t bring out a Sword Ki with high lethality power like the Sword Master''s Ki power. At that, I constantly asked questions and closed my eyes while holding my sword firmly. "" Let''s assume that the Sword Ki is activated under the premise that the Sword Ki can only be used when I recognize the sword as my body. Then, why did I have to recognize the sword as a body and apply mana to it to bring out Sword Ki? To make a magical de, just applying mana would be enough. But ''That''s not a Sword Ki.'' Moreover, it doesn''t maintain a strong power like Sword Ki at all times. Even though it uses lower mana than Triple Laceration, it produces a strength on par with it. Mana coating could never keep up with the ability of Sword Ki. As I was contemting with my eyes closed on the reason why, at some point, a thought came to my mind. When I used the mana operation earlier, my physical ability improved several times when I condensed mana on my right foot. ''Perhaps it''s a simr principle to that?'' If it stops at the level of coating, even if I condense mana on my right foot like a while ago, that kind of power won''te out. Only the external solidity would be stronger and stop at the point where the body won''t take much damage. So I thought that no matter how much mana I put on, it wouldn''t be like a Sword Ki. Then what makes a sword like a body and allows us to use it like a body? It''s mana. ''Then how can I use that mana to make the sword feel like my body?'' It was simple. Connect the sword and myself with the feeling of connection rather than an infusion of mana that was no different from the body. Instead of inserting mana and disconnecting the connection, keep the line after inserting the mana. Just like putting your left-hand fingers and right-hand fingers together In this way, I could seize the sword with my mana and strengthen the sword''s ability from the inside. And then Instead of using the Sword Ki through skills and powers, you used Sword Ki through independent realization. The Tower of Trialspliments Han SungYeun, the first challenger on earth dimension to use Sword Ki by themselves. The moment I opened my eyes, there was a sword emitting a splendid beam of light that waspletely different from before. Body and Sword as One achievement unlocked. Because the user already owns the power ''Sword Ki Master'', an alternate reward will be given instead of the power. The power ''Sword Ki Master'' is now wholly owned by the challenger, Han Sungyeun. The mana cost penalty of ''Sword Ki Master'' will now disappear. It was indeed a perfect Sword Ki. Chapter 81: Earnest Wish (4) Chapter 81: Earnest Wish (4) Chapter 081: Earnest Wish(4) Whirr! The sword ki emitted a dense energy utterly different from the previous ones. After that, I was able to get the desired result after a few system messages rang. Proficiency of skill ''Lightning Sword Ki'' has increased by 30% due to independent realization. Lightning Sword Ki. Originally, the reason why I wanted to materialize the Sword Ki by myself was to increase the Proficiency of the skill. Because there was nothing bad about upgrading the ability to shoot out a sh and support the power in any case. However Proficiency of ''Mana Operation (A-)'' has increased by 8% due to independent realization. "I didn''t expect it to end up like this." Currently, I was experiencing growth several times greater than I originally expected. Body and Sword as One achievement unlocked. The mana cost penalty of ''Sword Ki Master'' will now disappear. Body and Sword as One. The sense that the Body and the Sword bing as one materialized into an achievement, and the penalty of Sword Ki disappeared as a reward. It wasn''t just that. Through independent realization, even the Proficiency of Mana Operation increased. It meant that it was enlightenment to the extent that the skill proficiency of Mana Operation, which stepped into the realm of natural talent, went up. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is extremely excited about your materialization of Sword Ki. Administrator Iron-Blooded Monarch is astonished that the contractor has stepped into the stage of Body and Sword as One. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint wants to test your talents a bit more. Administrator Iron-Blooded Monarch trembles at her contractor''s talents, revealing her greed. So I could somewhat understand why the administrators were sending messages frantically. Moreover "The first materialization of Sword Ki from the dimension of Earth, huh That''s not a bad title." The Tower of Trials praised me as the first challenger to materialize the Sword Ki in the dimension of earth. Getting praise from the Tower is rare. I wonder how many times the Tower praised me? I was only praised after I was called to the Tower, and after winning a fierce battle against the Orcs. I couldn''t even remember the Tower of Trials praising me after that. While enjoying the praise I had received after such a long time, I quickly put away the Sword Ki and stopped. I''d finished everything that needed to be done. Therefore Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the administrator territory. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the admini Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to There was no need to hesitate further. *** As I epted the White Crane Sword Saint''s invitation, moving to the administrator''s area happened literally within the blink of an eye. You''re being teleported to the administrator territory as you''ve epted the invitation. You have entered the forest. The moment I blinked my eyes, at the same time, a system message popped up. "" Thendscape around me was changed, and a mansion with a small pond in the middle of a bamboo forest caught my attention. I was intrigued for a while by the atmosphere reminiscent of ancient China, but Apart from the intrigue, it didn''t mean that I was surprised. Just like the Iron-Blooded Monarch, this territory is also nothing but an area allocated to the White Crane Sword Saint, after all. Now, rather than this territory itself, my interest was focused on the White Crane Sword Saint, who was named as the owner of this realm. Judging by the title used as an administrator, I thought maybe she was an old person like Baek Sunhak. It was pretty usible when I recalled the content that had been delivered to me through system messages. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint eagerly awaits your visit. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint hopes that you had no change of heart. However, guessing the identity of White Crane Sword Saint was cut off by a message that soon came up. "" It looked like an elderly person living alone was anxious that their grandson, who didn''t visit for a long time, would leave, but Contrary to the message of White Crane Sword Saint emitting anxiousness, I had no intention of taking a step back now. "No worries. I have no intention of beating around the bush anymore." I just reaffirmed and became certain of the effectiveness of the Sword Ki through the independent realization. Clearly, administrator White Crane Sword Saint was someone who''d give me benefits rather than cause a loss. An administrator from Murim could bring me great benefits in terms ofbat power. Therefore Havinge this far meant that there was no option to turn back. I immediately moved forward, held the doorknob of the Chinese-style mansion, and went in. Then "Finally, you''vee this far." I could see a white-haired woman standing on the floor overlooking a small pond beyond it. She soon turned her head and smiled at me, putting the sword on herp. And then "I have been waiting for a challenger like you to appear for a really long time." Soon I opened my eyes widely as I saw her faint smile while she fluttered her white hair. Originally, I spected that the White Crane Sword Saint would be an old man with a gentle impression, but Despite that spection, White Crane Sword Saint wasn''t an old man, nor even a man. "Nice to meet you. I''m administrator White Crane Sword Saint." The White Crane Sword Saint was a beautiful youngdy with an elegant impression. *** "" At first, I thought I wouldn''t be so bewildered when I met the White Crane Sword Saint. But that was aplete misjudgment. The identity of the White Crane Sword Saint waspletely different from what I had imagined. A fluttering white martial arts uniform and fine, white hair showed that the White Crane Sword Saint was an old person. But on the contrary, I was bewildered because wherever I looked at her body, she only looked like an adult who had just turned 20 years old. Could all administrators keep their bodies young like this? ''It seems that the welfare of the tower is quite formidable even though they died and became subordinate to the tower.'' To think that they give you a body that never gets old, never gets sick, and as well as an individual territory. I thought that it seemed they have even better welfare than the level of the Earth. *** Reaper Scans *** It was then "What''s wrong? Is there any problem?" The White Crane Sword Saint tilted her head as she looked at me, standing still. Only then I stopped thinking about her and opened my mouth. Its because it''s not good to stand around thinking about things while you have an important trade opponent in front of you. "I was just amazed to see the administrator that I only knew through messages." To be precise, I was surprised by the appearance of the White Crane Sword Saint, which waspletely different from what I thought. "Ahaha you might feel that way, too." White Crane Sword Saint smiled a little and agreed with me. Then she tapped the seat next to her with her palm while looking at me. "It''d be difficult if you just stand there and talk. Pleasee over here." "That''s true. Excuse me then." I replied to her call briefly and quietly sat down next to her. I could only then understand why she was sitting on the floor instead of on a chair. It was refreshing. "" The wind flowing through the forest reached the floor, delivering fresh air. And in a small pond seen over the open floor, fish were swimming freely under the lotus flowers. It felt like I was gradually being inspired just by looking at it. The White Crane Sword Saint spoke to me as I stared nkly at the scene. "It feels good, doesn''t it?" She smiled as she hugged her fluttering martial arts uniform down to her ankles, along with her knees. "I''ve always been here, watching you." "Since when?" "Since you started the duel of life and death between Baek Sunhak on the 9th floor." "So you''ve been watching me since the time when trial spectating became possible." Moreover, that was the time when the White Crane Sword Saint sponsored me a power. Which meant that after seeing me achieve victory in the duel with Baek Sunhak, she immediately sponsored me. "Didn''t you think it was a waste to sponsor a power to a challenger that you''d only seen once?" At those words, White Crane Sword Saint shook her head with a cold face. "It wasn''t a waste at all. You really need to know your worth." "?" "Great Elder Baek Sunhak was a swordsman who used to be called quite a strong man in Murim, even though he didn''t reach the level of Sword Ki Supreme." "" "Even though he lost most of the strength he had after entering the Tower of Trials, defeating such a challenger is enough to call it an achievement." She bbered as though it was something great, but I couldn''t really ept her words. Baek Sunhak must''ve been much stronger than me at the time when he hadn''t entered the Tower. And that fact wouldn''t have really changed even before the floor intrusion penalty weakened him. It was then that I was about to dismiss the topic, saying I won out of luck. I couldn''t help but be shocked with my eyes wide open at the words of the White Crane Sword Saint that followed soon after. Because "You don''t have to deny it, because it''s from me, who once signed a contract with Baek Sunhak." It was because the truth that I couldn''t have imagined was revealed with her words. *** The atmosphere became heavy in an instant. I had already noticed that White Crane Sword Saint was an administrator from Murim. However, it was my first time knowing that she was the administrator who had signed a contract with Baek Sunhak. I wondered if she had a big grudge or something against me, but She dismissed it as though she realized that I was having such thoughts. "I didn''t have a good rtionship with Baek Sunhak." "What?" "He was just a good challenger for me to earn points even though he didn''t have any growth potential." "I had never met him in person. He knew it too, but he stayed still since he wanted my powers." After saying that, the White Crane Sword Saint said withmentation as though she felt bitter. "I have signed many contracts with challengers, but I have never called a challenger here so far." From those words, I could tell that she had spent many years by herself. "Until I saw you through Baek Sunhak." Before I knew it, the eyes of the White Crane Sword Saint were sending me an intangible pressure with seriousness. "You''ve probably expected it to some extent, but I''ll tell you clearly." At that, I narrowed my eyes and looked at her. "Please sign the [Additional Contract] that was formed along with the expansion of the Tower system this time." I opened my mouth while keeping my expressionless face at her suggestion. "What exactly are the advantages I can get from doing that?" "I can make you a disciple of the administrator White Crane Sword Saint." "What would be good if I be White Crane Sword Saint''s disciple exactly?" "In the tower, a discipleship means a challenger with a special contract that each administrator can appoint only one person in his or her lifetime." "" "When the discipleship contract is signed, the challenger who became a disciple can purchase all the powers possessed by the administrator." "Then you mean that contracts that aren''t discipleship contracts can''t purchase all the powers?" "The power of an administrator is an ability that can break nature. There are bound to be restrictions." In short, it meant that if I became her disciple, I''d be able to buy all the powers of the White Crane Sword Saint. But if I didn''t, I''d only be able to attain limited powers. I felt very lucky in this situation. The Iron-Blooded Monarch was the first contractor I made, and I was also the first challenger brought to the administrator''s territory by the White Crane Sword Saint to make me her disciple. And it didn''t stop there. ''White Crane Sword Saint rmended me to be her disciple even though it''s an additional contract.'' The Tower of Trials specified that the [Additional Contract] is a contract that can run out at any time. However, she gave me the position of a disciple, which can only be given once in a lifetime as an administrator. I wondered if there could ever be any situation that would be good for me, but ironically, my doubts arose because of that. "Why are you even offering me the seat of a disciple?" I wondered what the White Crane Sword Saint expected from me that she was even willing to give me the seat of disciple even though it was just an additional contract? I couldn''t hold back my curiosity about it, and she easily answered right away. "I just chose you to make my Earnest Wishe true, just like that woman." As though there was nothing to hide, White Crane Sword Saint said quietly while looking at the pond. "I need the sharpest Sword than anyone else. The best Sword that will never be broken and will never be dulled." Sword. "You have the potential to be sharper than any other sword I''ve ever seen." White Crane Sword Saint said that she chose me because she thought that I''d be a sharper sword than anyone else. Then, where did she want to wield that Sword, which is me? "You obtain the sword because you have somewhere to wield it." "" "Then what is that Earnest Wish of yours?" "?" But she tilted her head as if she didn''t understand what I was saying. Then she approached me, dragging her fluttering martial arts uniform to the floor, and opened her eyes wide like a rabbit. "Have you not heard from that woman what the Earnest Wish is?" Hearing her say that woman, she seemed to know the Iron-Blooded Monarch, so I wanted to ask her if she knew her. But rather than the rtionship between the two of them, I focused on her words, asking if I didn''t know what Earnest Wish is. "I''ve only heard that she can''t tell me about the Earnest Wish yet." "What do you? She hasn''t told her disciple about the Earnest Wish yet?" "?" "Whatever. It''s something I can tell if she hasn''t told you." White Crane Sword Saint clenched the fluttering martial arts uniform with both hands and opened her mouth as though she was sighing. "Earnest Wish isn''t a personal wish of an administrator withoutpensation for you." And Earnest Wish is a right that Tower bestowed on the administrator. Like the trial of the Tower, the administrator can give the challenger a trial. If they aplish it, the challenger gets a reward. I couldn''t help but open my eyes wide as she continued speaking. Chapter 82: Dimension Invasion (1) Chapter 82: Dimension Invasion (1) Chapter 82: Dimension Invasion (1) Originally, when I heard the words Earnest Wish, I thought it was simply some kind of desire. Just like how I desperately wanted to acquire an ability to ughter the monsters. Since the Iron-Blooded Monarch and other administrators all died once, I assumed they''d have aplicated rtionship of favor and spite. I wondered if the Earnest Wish was a grudge that they couldn''t fulfill during their lifetime or that they deeply kept. But that wasn''t it. "Are you saying that the Earnest Wishes aren''t just an administrator''s wish but a trial?" "To be precise, it doesn''t mean that you''ll climb the tower just because you grant the Earnest Wish, but to some extent, it''s true." "" "When the Earnest Wish is granted, the tower rewards the administrator and the challenger." "So, in a nutshell, it''s a trial where the floor doesn''t go up even if you clear it." I felt disappointed when I realized the truth of the Earnest Wish that the Iron-Blooded Monarch had told me. Not to mention that it''s a trial in the form of an administrator materializing the Tower of Trials. Why do they call something that is almost no different from the Tower of Trials their own wish? Curiosity about that fact crept up my throat, and I couldn''t help but open my mouth and ask. "Honestly, I can''t see it as the administrator''s wish, so why do you call it the Earnest Wish?" I thought it''d be better to clearly state that it''s just a derivation of the trial. However, the White Crane Sword Saint shook her head and denied what I had said. "No. Earnest Wish should be called Earnest Wish. It''s much deserved. "?" "Do you know why the administrators are subordinated to the tower even though we all died once?" "It must be because you don''t want to die. No one wants to die." "There must be some administrators like that. But we didn''t be subordinated to the Tower because we feared death." As if sinking into the abyss, the eyes of the White Crane Sword Saint has be endlessly serious. "We have a wish that needs to be granted no matter what." " "An Earnest Wish is fulfilled on behalf of us through the disciple." "But you mentioned that the Earnest Wish is a trial. Then it''d be meaningless." "Why do you think so?" "Because the trial is the stage of growth that the Tower prepared for the challengers, obviously." Trials existed only to grow the challenger. Literally, it was about giving the challengers trials and making them stronger when they endure them. I didn''t think that oveing the trial would solve the administrator''s emotional baggage. "Since I don''t think I''ve ever seen anything that could grant the administrator''s wish out of the trials I''ve seen so far." "You''re correct. Right. A trial is just a reenactment of a situation, and it''s just a stage for the challengers to grow." "Then wouldn''t that make it meaningle" "But it''s worth it in terms of achieving that recreated situation." "?" White Crane Sword Saint looked at me vacantly and slowly continued her words. "Most of the administrators Earnest Wishese from their past regrets." "" "Some may not, but most are. But with the passage of time, no one can change the history of the past." "That''s right. Unless you be a God or something." "But if you can grant the Earnest Wish, it''s possible to change the past. By intervening in my past in the form of a trial to give it a change." "What?" At what White Crane Sword Saint said, I looked at her nkly while blinking my eyes. Can you change the past? "There''s no way such nonsense would be possible." "You should know it since you''ve gone through the Tower of Trials so far. Whether what I''m saying is true or not." She was right. The Tower of Trials had out-of-standard abilities and brought more serious changes than the Great Cmity. Therefore I, who had a disastrous failure and should''ve given up my dream to be a hunter, was able to reach this point. It wasn''t surprising that the Tower could change the past. "I''m not sure about the other administrators, but I want to change my past." She said in a gloomy tone that didn''t suit her. "But just because you fulfill the Earnest Wish, it doesn''t mean that the past will change immediately." "?" "Conditions are added depending on how serious the administrator''s Earnest Wish is." "Then it must be the disciple challenger who fulfills that condition." If the administrator could resolve the necessary condition independently, there would be no restriction on needing a disciple to resolve their Earnest Wish for them. ''It must be difficult since the challenger has to fulfill that condition.'' And the White Crane Sword Saint immediately agreed as though what I had said was correct. "You''re right. A challenger with discipleship must fulfill the conditions on behalf of the administrator." As expected, it was a system in which the challenger had toplete additional conditions, not the administrator. "There are basically two conditions that a challenger must fulfill." The White Crane Sword Saint slowly extended her index finger and said. "First of all, there''s a certain number of floors you have to climb as a condition." Then, soon she stretched out her middle finger and continued talking with her two fingers up. "Secondly, there''s a condition that the difficulty of all personal trials will be harder when you get past the 20th floor." I opened my mouth at those words while feeling my body stiffen up. "Can I ask you one thing?" Changing the past is basically a miracle that defies the flow of time. It meant that the number of floors that I had to climb and every personal trial after the 20th floor would be ridiculously intensified. Then, how many times would I have to repeat those insane trials before achieving the Earnest Wish of the White Crane Sword Saint? I felt ufortable holding on to that question, so I decided to ask the question right away. "How far do I have to climb up to grant your Earnest Wish?" White Crane Sword Saint smiled bitterly at that question, then scratched her cheek and turned away to avoid my gaze. "That''s uhm, I believe the waiting room on the final floor of the Tower of Trials should be enough?" *** Reaper Scans *** Final floor. Id figured out that the goal I had to reach in order to turn the administrator''s Earnest Wish into reality was the top of the Tower, but Just talking about the results, in the end, I epted the proposal of White Crane Sword Saint without being able to turn it down. Contract has been made. "Splendid choice! You definitely wont regret this!" At the same time, the system message informed me that I had be a contractor of White Crane Sword Saint She smiled brightly, grabbed my right hand with both hands, and shook it. "" It wasn''t really a bad sight because she had the appearance of a short maidenlike girl; it feels like a lie that she once challenged to the Tower as a challenger. However, even if it was a decision for growth, hearing that I had to reach the final floor made my shoulders heavy. It didn''t change the fact that I was responsible for climbing up to the final floor. Of course-. You have been recognized as the true disciple of Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint''. As a perk of the discipleship, the power and skill efficiency based on the Murim dimension is increased by 10%''. As a perk of the discipleship, the power and skill efficiency based on the Murim dimension is increased by 10%''. As a perk of the discipleship, mana is increased by +3. Currently, challenger Han Sungyeun has been recognized as a disciple by two administrators. As a perk of dual discipleship, agility is increased by +3. "I don''t think the day wille when I''ll regret this choice." Be that as it may, too many rewards were given to me to regret this contract. It was unlike the time with Iron-Blooded Monarch, since I wasn''t her first contractor so mana had only increased by +3, but The effect of increasing the efficiency of Power and skill of the Murim dimension by 10% as a perk for discipleship couldn''t be underestimated. As a matter of fact, my Sword Ki became stronger as I reached the level of the Body and Sword as One. Adding on to that, the 10% increase in the efficiency of Sword Ki was no less than an increase inbat power. It wasn''t just that. Perhaps the Tower thought of it in a good light that I was designated as a disciple of two administrators? When the message popped up that the agility stat increased by 3, I had no regret left. "I''m d that you think you won''t regret it." White Crane Sword Saint smiled innocently and then waved her hand to say goodbye. "I''ll look forward to the trial of the 11th floor." Moving to the 11th waiting room. Instead of a peaceful forest, I returned to the deste waiting room. "" I wanted to take a rest since I ended my additional contracts and all, but I suppressed my fatigue and immediately opened an exclusive contract marketce. Contract Exclusive Marketce SP - 4,000 Category: Skill Category: Power Category: Item Contractor: Iron-Blooded Monarch as well as White Crane Sword Saint Remarks: The first contractor of the administrator ''Iron-Blooded Monarch'' and the disciple of the administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' I could see the changes right away. In addition to the 4,000 SP obtained by breaking through the 10th floor trial, the White Crane Sword Saint had been added to the description of the contractor and remarks. To be honest, I wanted to be immersed in the feeling that I had grown this much, but my body moved like a machine. Category: Power It was then that I called out the list of powers by pressing the Power category. Please select a list of powers to view. 1. Iron-Blooded Monarch 2. White Crane Sword Saint 3. Sponsored Power "Does this mean that the list of powers has grown enough to have a ssification now?" Previously, the Power list was uncategorized, but now it was clear that the Power list was separate for each administrator. I''d been thinking that it''d be cumbersome to check the list of powers if it''s mixed up, but it was a good change. Power List ''White Crane Sword Saint'' has been selected Category: Power (White Crane Sword Saint) List (1/3) Power: Power Combination (A-) Power: Desire for battle (A+) Power: Path of Ghostde (S) I let out augh seeing that S rank powers were clearly stated on the list from the start. I was totally convinced that the choice I made was the way to the final floor of the Tower. (!) You can only view the powers on the list (1/3). (!) You can view the list of powers (2/3) starting from the waiting room on the 20th floor. Of course, the second power page hadn''t been opened yet, just like the Iron-Blooded Monarch''s was. As always, nothing was unlocked, so I silently looked at the powers that were there. Power: Power Combination (A-) Price : 5,000 SP Exnation: It''s a power that embodies the footsteps of White Crane Sword Saint,bining all of her skills for decision and focus from when she was a challenger. You can develop new powers bybining powers that you currently have, or you can consume a power to raise the rank of the existing Power. Starting with the ability that just looked like a power version of skillbination. Power: Desire for battle (A+) Price : 7,500 SP Exnation: The desire for battle is the origin of the species for predators. It''s a power that is often obtained by those who only see life as a battle. When fighting an opponent stronger than you, the increasing rate of all skill proficiency increases by up to 300%, and it makes it easier for you to feel the joy of battle. I also looked at an absurd power that aids your growth. Power: Path of Ghostde (S) Price : 10,000 SP Exnation: It''s a power often obtained by those who wield swords that fall into the contradiction of living in order to be strong instead of bing strong to live. When ites to swords, you can develop your own skills, and it bes easier to embody a self-realization. Finally, the first S rank power is listed in the power list. All the powers were astonishingly good, but there was nothing I could buy. ''The minimum requirement for the power of the White Crane Sword Saint is high.'' Since there wasn''t a power that I could purchase right away, I couldn''t help but feel like these were just a pipe dream. But regardless, these powers were abilities that I''d eventually acquire if Ipleted the trials a few more times. Instead of feeling disappointed, I immediately changed the list of powers and browsed the sponsored Power. Power: Wings of Steel (C+) Price: 1,500 SP Exnation: The Power to create steel wings with mana. High-speed flight will be possible through the wings of steel generated by mana. At this time, it is necessary to continuously inject mana to maintain the wings, and when the mana is insufficient, the wings will automatically be removed. It was none other than to buy a Power that made airbat possible. I thought I could buy the Power of the Iron-Blooded Monarch, but I didn''t. ''I need to choose the power that will be useful without using as much SP as possible.'' As expected from an administrator of the Murim dimension, all of the powers of White Crane Sword Saint were excellent. Therefore it''d be better to save SP as much as I can and purchase at least one of her powers after breaking through the 11th floor. As I reached a conclusion, there was nothing to hesitate about. You''ve purchased the ''Power: Wings of Steel (C+)'' 1,500 SP will be deducted. At the same time, I purchased the Wings of steel, and I decided to check the exact abilities of this Power. "Wings of Steel." It was then Activating Power, ''Wings of Steel''. Wooosh! I felt something sharping out of my back, and then a new sensation arose. "!?" It was the sensation of the wings on my back. I reached out, touched behind my back in bewilderment, and immediately felt the wings. I could even understand that the skin and the Wings of Steel were naturally connected. "Huh, to think that it''spletely connected to the back." It was a power sponsored by the Tower''s administrator, so I thought it wasposed of magical fundamentals. But it wasn''t anything like that, and it looked like I could fly just by putting the mana into the wings that protruded from my back. My body immediately floated into the air as I injected mana into the steel wings and fluttered them. "" Surprisingly, it was easy to float in the air, and there was no need to p the wings that much because it flew by magic. I also wanted to see how much I could fly or move quickly, but the waiting room was too small for that. "I guess I can''t help it." In the end, I had no choice but to deactivate the Wings of Steel and descend to the ground. Deactivating Power, ''Wings of Steel''. It was difficult to check the Wings of Steel''s capability in this ce. "Then I''ll have to change the stage." I immediately opened the shop window and purchased the same lowest-grade return stone as before. You''ve purchased a Return Stone (F+). I had broken through more trials than the initial n andpleted an additional contract with the administrator. Therefore Now, it was time for me to be active on Earth, not the Tower. Chapter 83: Dimension Invasion (2) Chapter 83: Dimension Invasion (2) Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. It''s one of the three main sub-centers of Tokyo and was also called thergest sub-center at the same time, but Currently, not a single person had passed by as if it was a lie that Shinjuku ward was called thergest sub-center of Tokyo. It wasn''t surprising. Because a gate outbreak wavelength had been detected in Shinjuku that wasrge enough to gather all the A-rank Japanese hunters. All ordinary citizens were evacuated, and only the seven A-rank hunters were there waiting for the gate to ur in the center of Shinjuku. Among them, Oozuchi Kunishi, who had just been recognized as an A-rank hunter in Japan, felt irritated. "Why a gate in Shinjuku out of all ces?" He was one of the ten A-rank hunters in Japan, and he should''ve been in a dungeon now ughtering monsters to clear the dungeon. However, he was here because of the gate outbreak wavelength detected in Shinjuku. ''For real, I realize that Japan is a weak country in terms of hunters whenever this happens.'' At the moment, the gate outbreak wavelength detected in Shinjuku, Tokyo, could be solved by one S-rank hunter. Judging from the detected gate wavelength, the level of the gate to break out would only be A-rank. It meant that even if the country called for a hunter, it wasnt an agenda that needed to be dealt with by calling so many A-rank hunters. But Japan had to call this many hunters to deal with the gate. Not because the country is pretending to be alright, like Shinjuku had a floating poption and it needed to be dealt with quickly and surely. The cause lies elsewhere. This is because only one hunter had surpassed A-rank in Japan. And even that one person was clearing a dungeon right now, trying to get some useful equipment. Because of that, A-rank hunters from all over Japan, including Oozuchi Kunishi, gathered in Shinjuku. To cope with this situation where the only S-rank hunter in Japan was absent. As such, Oozuchi Kunishi had no choice but to be dissatisfied. ''If it were Korea or the U.S, instead of gathering up all A-rank hunters like this, they would''ve called an S-rank hunter and dealt with it.'' As he recalled that fact again, Oozuchi Kunishi felt a sense of displeasure creeping up his body. Perhaps the other hunters around him were no different, somentations also poured out from their mouths. "Fucking hell! It''s pissing me off. Why the hell are gates breaking out so much in Japan when there aren''t enough hunters?" "If they''re gonna shove us around like this, they need to at least give us a high pay. But they''re an awful miser." "Whatever, fine. Has the Japan hunter association ever done the right thing? It''s a fucked up country, you see." They were all like dogs to Shinjuku with poor pay. Just by the Japanese government''s word that all hunters must obey thews of the country. So it was inevitable thatints were breaking loose. But that was also just for a while. Whirrr! The moment soon came when a blue rift started to appear in the middle of the streets of Shinjuku. "This fucking son of a! It''s a rift! Prepare for battle!" Hunters grumbling on the street changed their spirit and prepared for battle. Even if they were all dissatisfied with the situation, they were veteran hunters who had enough strength and gained enoughbat experience to climb up to an A-rank hunter. As such, the hunters, including Oozuchi Kunishi, quickly straightened their posture and red at the gate but "What?" No matter how hard they stared at the blue rift, no monster came out. Originally, at least a monster at the dungeon''s entrance should appear if a gate is freshly generated. Even more so in the case of a high-ranked and sudden gate like this one. But not a single monster, even an ant, wasing out of it? "Hey, this seems a bit stra" It was that moment when Oozuchi Kinishi opened his mouth, he felt a deep sense of oddness. "Why are there so many bugs swarming around?" A vigorous sound was heard in his ear as though speaking to Heaven and Earth from beyond the gate. Soon, a young man in a blue martial arts uniform walked out of the gate where nothing had appeared. The dragon pattern is engraved with gold thread on the blue martial arts uniform or the curved sword on his right waist. And a neatly tied ponytail at his back hinted that this young man isn''t just an ordinary person. The young man looked at Oozuchi Kunishi as though he were looking at a bug. Then he scratched his chin with his left hand and frowned as if he couldn''t understand. "Didn''t I ask you just now? Why are there so many bugs swarming around?" Was it because of his absurdly arrogant tone, as if he was really talking to a bug? The people who couldn''t even speak because they were bewildered by the fact that a person came out of the gate soon came to their senses and made dumbfounded faces. And soon after, the hunter behind Oozuchi Kunishi frowned and shouted in an angry voice. "Huh? What the hell do you mean? Hey, stop bbering nonsense and exin how you came ou." And those were thest words of that hunter. Crush! Oozuchi Kunishi recognized the sound of something being crushed at the same time as some hot liquid was getting on his back. It didn''t take long for him to figure out that it was the blood sttered from the crushed head of the hunter who was just talking. Tremble Just like a watercolor dripping into a ss of water slowly spreading its color. Starting from the blood-soaked back, the whole body began to tremble like an aspen leaf. Oozuchi Kunishi immediately understood why. Because this feeling was a familiar thing to a hunter who was thrown around in the dangerous ces of the dungeon. "" *** *** Fear. It was the emotion felt by the prey in front of an infinitely powerful enemy. Usually, a prey in front of a predator like this will show a total of three behaviors. "You son of a bitch, how dare you kill Shimura! I won''t forgive y!" The first is to deny the feeling of fear and rush toward the predator. Crush! "No way! I-I don''t want to die! S-Save m! The second is to run away from the predator, dominated by the emotion of fear. Crush! "" The third is to give up their lives because they know how powerful a predator is. "It''s finally quiet now that there''s only one left." Oozuchi Kunishi was the third among them. Now he wasn''t just trembling, but also chattering his teeth, showing extreme fear. He couldn''t help it. The young man who appeared before him instantly killed all the hunters behind Oozuchi Kunishi. Oozuchi Kunishi had never seen the young man move. He couldn''t figure out why the hunter standing behind him had his head crushed to death. He may have been using the sword that was on his waist, or he might have killed them through another skill. He just then noticed the sounds of corpses falling behind his back. Six of the seven A-rank hunters gathered in Shinjuku were all killed within a few minutes. "Now that there''s only one bug left, I shall ask you politely, too." The young man smiled softly, as though he had changed his mind and showed mercy. "Deliver this message to the challenger, Han Sungyeun." And so, the predator in human form, that you could never resist, demanded of Oozuchi Kunishi "That the Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky, Namgung Hyuk hase to avenge Baek Sunhak." To bring new prey. *** After purchasing the Return Stone, I immediately took out arge number of items from my inventory. I had to dispose of the items stolen by killing Kim Seungjun in the trial on the 10th floor. In addition to that, It was necessary to confirm the ability of some newly acquired items. As such, I activated the Return Stone with all the items to dispose of and items to confirm the abilities of. And then In the blink of an eye, I wasn''t in the waiting room of the Tower, but in a different ce. You have turned to the residence of the challenger, Han Sungyeun. It was none other than the studio apartment I lived in. "I''m finally back." This was already the third return, so the feeling of returning wasn''t new. I got up from the bed and smiled bitterly at the items scattered around me. I was lost as to where to start and how to organize these as I looked at dozens of items. "It''s gonna take some time to clean this up." Originally, instead of just disposing of the items, I''d have to look at the performance of the item and find out the marketce, but Those were the days when I was a hunter with no affiliation, and now Im a person that enjoys a high level of freedom in a guild while receiving all the benefits. It meant that the time when I had to deal with everything by myself was over. ''I guess I can contact Lee Hayeon and ask her to prepare for disposal of the items in bulk'' I looked for my smartphone in the scattered pile of items and powered it on. And as soon as the smartphone screen turned on, I couldn''t help but be shocked. Because [132 Missed calls.] [87 Messages.] Because the smartphone informed me that there were countless calls while I was away. "What is this now" I frowned and quickly checked the person who called or texted. And soon, I immediately figured out who was looking for me. "Lee Hayeon?" There were phone numbers that I couldn''t recognize, but most of them were filled with Lee Hayeon contacting me. Moreover, it was a call that started just yesterday. In other words, it means that something urgent enough to find me happened in that short time. So I quickly started checking the text that Lee Hayeon had sent. [Lee Hayeon: Sungyeun-ssi, are you still in the Tower?] [Lee Hayeon: The Hunter Association has ordered all the challengers on the Hard difficulty to gather up.] [Lee Hayeon: Almost all guilds are forcibly sending out challengers who have signed a contract.] [Lee Hayeon: If you don''t gather, you may be subject to a vition of thew, so I think it''d be better for Sungyeun-ssi toe as well.] The Hunter Association was gathering all the challengers of Hard difficulty? It was difficult to understand, but as soon as I read the text below, I could recognize the seriousness of the situation. [Lee Hayeon: Please contact me as soon as possible if youe back from the Tower. It''s really urgent. ] [Lee Hayeon: It''s something rted to a challenger from another world, but the content is being kept confidential.] [Lee Hayeon: It seems like something big happened in Shinjuku ward, Tokyo, Japan.] Looks like an incident rted to a challenger from another world has urred. However, the challengers of another world were the ones who mainly did floor invasion inside the Tower. And what did they have to do with the Shinjuku ward in Tokyo, Japan? The moment I had my doubts, I felt a ray of light passing through my head. "Is it because the dimension shifting function has been activated?" I recalled the message that said the system had been expanded as I arrived at the waiting room on the 11th floor. - ''Dimension Shifting'' is being added to the marketce category. -Interdimensional movement is now possible. That was it. Interdimensional movement wasn''t necessarily just from Earth to another dimension. It meant that even someone from a world such as Ares, Murim, or Callian could nowe to Earth. As soon as I spected to that point, I immediately called Lee Hayeon without reading any further. Thankfully, I could hear Lee Hayeon''s voice after the bell rang for a few seconds. -Han Sungyeun-ssi? Are you finally back? Her voice was full of fatigue, but it also conveyed a faint sense of relief. I answered her quickly. "Yes. I have just returned." -Sigh, I don''t know where to start and how to exin this, but "A challenger from another world must''ve appeared in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan." -How did you figure that out? Even the Hunter Association said this wasbeled as top secret! "That doesn''t really matter. You can go straight to the main point." -R-Right. Cutting to the chase, the Hunter Association has gathered all the Hard difficulty challengers in Korea. "Why?" -The Korean hunter association also decided to prepare for the incident in Shinjuku, and at the same time, the Japan Hunter Association asked the Korean side for help. "?" -Currently, the challenger from another world is still staying in Shinjuku ward, Tokyo, Japan. "Don''t tell me Are you saying that they couldn''t kill the challenger from another world?" -As you know, Japan is a country with weak hunters. There''s only one S-rank hunter and 40 A-rank hunters. "" -But the challenger from another world who appeared in Shinjuku killed the six A rank hunters who were there in a matter of seconds, leaving only one alive. Therefore, the Japanese side requested help from outside due to the extreme difference in power. But there was something I couldn''t understand. "Then why did the association assemble the challengers when you can just send a Korean S-rank hunter?" -That''s the most important part. The challenger from another world who appeared in Shinjuku spared one A-ss hunter and sent a message. "?" That survivor was told to bring an unknown Korean challenger and said that he mentioned this. Lee Hayeon took a deep breath through the phone and continued her words. And I couldn''t help but be so shocked that my heart almost stopped upon hearing her words. -Namgung Hyuk, The Sword Dragon of Blue Sky hase to avenge Baek Sunhak. -Sword Dragon of Blue Sky Namgung Hyuk. The Murim challenger whom the Iron-blooded Monarch warned me about came to Earth, not the Tower. Chapter 84: Dimension Invasion (3) Chapter 84: Dimension Invasion (3) The moment I heard that the Sword Dragon of Blue Sky, Namgung Hyuk, appeared in Shinjuku Ward by traveling through the dimension I took the items I could use right away from the items scattered on the floor. The Vampire Count''s Old Tailcoat Grade: A- Movement speed: +8%. Mana regeneration: +10% A special tailcoat worn by one of the vampires of Callian when he was young. When the user is attacked, the user can arbitrarily consume their stamina or blood to create a bloody barrier. The level of shield is determined ording to the amount of stamina and blood consumed at this time. Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword Grade: B+ Reaction speed +7% Attack speed +10% A fine sword that was once one of the treasures that had been passed down from the Blood Demonic Cult of Murim . When used by someone with swordsmanship skill, blood ki flows around the de, and the flow of magical power through the blood sword bes smoother. In addition, instead of the Thunder de, like The Vampire Count''s Old Tailcoat, I also held the sword called the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword, which I obtained from Kim Seungjun. To be honest, if it was to face a typical challenger, this would''ve been quite an unnecessary preparation, but Right now, I wasnt going to face an ordinary challenger. ''Honestly, even this isn''t enough.'' The Iron-blooded Monarch said that there was no chance of surviving if I met Namgung Hyuk. Namgung Hyuk had been ustomed to killing people since he was young and trained the sword to the extent that he used such a grand nickname as Sword Dragon of Blue Sky. And as one of the most talented in the Murim dimension, he also expanded his position as an expert swordsman with a knack for swords. So even if he was weakened by the penalty of floor intrusion, Iron-blooded Monarch was sure that I''d hopelessly get killed without being able to do anything if I met Namgung Hyuk. That was the Sword Dragon of Blue Sky, Namgung Hyuk. But moreover, he appeared in Shinjuku ward, Tokyo, Japan, not in the Tower. It''s just my wild guess, but there was a possibility that Namgung Hyuk wasn''t weakened. ''He mustn''t be receiving any penalties for floor intrusion since he appeared in Shinjuku ward of Tokyo.'' Not just because it''s a fight taking ce outside the Tower, but It was because of the news that Namgung Hyuk killed six A-rank hunters within seconds. To be honest, it might be possible for me to fight and win against six A-rank hunters right now. However, it was impossible topletely kill strong hunters in a matter of seconds. In other words, it was safe to say that he had the strength of at least an S-rank hunter. After finishing my preparation in the blink of an eye, I was able to draw one conclusion. "It''s not something I can handle by myself." That is, there was no way to deal with Namgung Hyuk alone. It was beyond the scale I could handle to ignore the Hunter Association''s call for challengers and go straight to Japan. So For now, I should go to the Hunter Association so that I cane up with the correct way to deal with him. Having concluded that, I immediately went outside and departed to the Hunter Association. *** As soon as I got out of the studio apartment, I went to the roadside and tried to grab a taxi, but For some reason, no people and cars were passing by. So I had no choice but to call a taxi with my smartphone and got in the back seat of the taxi that arrived. "To the Seoul Hunter Association, please." Where I was heading was none other than the Hunter Association located in Seoul. The taxi driver looked at me like a crazy person in a tailcoat from broad daylight but He soon changed the way of looking at me after hearing where I was heading and replied okay. While on the way to the Seoul Hunter Association, which was designated as the destination for the Challenger''s summons, I could immediately see that there were strangely no people on the street. Noticing that there was no one on the side of the road since a while ago, I asked the taxi driver, feeling bizarre. "Why are there no people on the street? Did something happen?" Then the taxi driver nced at me and said with a face that he couldn''t understand me." "Looking at you going to the Seoul Hunter Association, aren''t you a hunter summoned to the association?" "You''re right." "But you still haven''t heard the news?" "?" "There''s an uproar because a gate has been opened in Tokyo." "" "Weren''t you summoned for that too?" "You''re right, but what does that have to do with no one in the street?" To that, the taxi driver responded with a bit of annoyance, kicking his tongue. "Rumors are spreading that the Tower of Trials caused the gates in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo these days." "What do you" "They say that the gate that appeared in Tokyo was not a normal gate, but was caused by the Tower of Trials." "" "This isn''t an officially confirmed matter, but seeing them gathering the challengers of Tower and hunters, I don''t think it''s entirely wrong either." "So that''s why there are no people on the street. It can be dangerous if the gate opens unexpectedly like in Shinjuku ward." So in short, it meant that the taxi driver driving a taxi like this right now was the weird one. And most of the citizens currently didn''t even walk around the streets in fear of gates opening up like Shinjuku ward. I mean, who wouldn''t be afraid when there are rumors that even ordinary people were also being dragged to the Tower, and the Tower was the cause of opening a terrible gate? ''I thought the challenger from another world who appeared in Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo was top secret.'' Although it''s top secret, there seemed to be some information leaking to the public. Even the taxi driver casually used the term Tower of Trials. It meant that quite a bit of information about the Tower was revealed. ''Did the ordinary people find out about the Tower of Trials in the meantime?'' While I was climbing up to the 11th floor, society seemed to have undergone many changes. As if to prove it, the taxi driver poured out his words to me as though he wasining. "Let''s say that normal people are being dragged to the Tower of Trials. That''s still understandable, but to think that it''s now affecting even the real world Tsk, the world ising to an end." *** *** Hearing those words, I looked outside the window without showing any reaction. I smiled bitterly at the words the taxi driver said, about the world falling apart and all. ''The world was already ending since the gates and monsters began to appear.'' Since when was it a normal world if people without talent could never be strong even if they risked their lives? Just because you didn''t have any aptitudes, you couldn''t acquire even a single skill even if you risked everything and trained. Despite losing my entire family, there was nothing I could do. I lived in such a world. I survived 7 years in such a world. I finally began to see the light in such a world So Just because the world was a little more twisted didn''t mean it was declining. In the end, I always knew the kind that survived in such a turbulent world. Survival of the fittest. Those who couldn''t adapt to the new world were ughtered. And those who adapted to the new world ruled as top predators. "" Recalling that fact calmly, I thought of Namgung Hyuk, who appeared in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I was just confused and scared right now, but I decided to consider that I''d be able to get over it soon. Just like when I was summoned to the Tower in the past. Now, it was time for me to adapt again. *** Upon arriving at the Seoul Hunter Association, I immediately contacted Lee Hayeon. Under the current circumstances of the challengers summons, she was also included in the call. As a result, she was also in the Seoul Hunter Association in advance, so she came to pick me up. Lee Hayeon, who ran to the entrance of the Seoul Hunter Association, saw me and ran up to me with a smile, but "Sungyeun-ssi, what''s that outfit?" Soon after, she looked at the clothes I was wearing and asked a question as though she couldn''t understand them. "We don''t have much time, so let''s talk while going in." Lee Hayeon immediately asked for an answer while guiding me to the inside of the Hunter Association, and I responded briefly. "It''s a useful piece of equipment that I recently acquired from the Tower." "No, I''m asking why you''re wearing it" "I heard that the gathering order for challengers has been dropped, but isn''t it because they wanted to support the Japanese Hunter Association?" "" "The Japanese Hunter Association also said that the challenger from another world mentioned the name of a Korean challenger, so we wouldn''t be able to ignore the call for help." Looks like they don''t know the details, as though they didn''t hear the name of the Korean Challenger properly, though. But at least, since my name was mentioned, the Japanese Hunter Association would say that Korea was responsible for this. Then it was obvious that at least the Korean Hunter Association would have to support the Japanese Hunter Association by sorting the challengers, even in all conscience. "You sure you were in the tower without knowing anything until now?" Lee Hayeon said so as if she couldn''t believe it after hearing what I was saying. It was easy to guess since I knew a lot of things, but I really didn''t know. "If I did, I wouldn''t have been in the tower so rxed." If I had known that Namgung Hyuk had actually appeared in Shinjuku ward, Tokyo, I''d have looked for a solution right away. Anyhow, if you looked at the reason why he appeared in Tokyo''s Shinjuku ward, it was because I killed Baek Sunhak in the Tower. "As you spected, Sungyeun-ssi. The Korean Hunter Association seems to be nning to assign a few challengers and support the Japanese side." "Are there no objections?" "Of course there is. There are quite a fewing out such as why we should apply to help Japan just because a Korean challenger was mentioned." "" "Someone also insists that we need to find the exact Korean Challenger that was mentioned, find out the truth, and hold them ountable It''s pretty troublesome." "So currently, they aren''t sure about that Korean challenger mentioned by the challenger from another world?" "Apparently, yeah. They said that the A-rank hunter that survived at the time didn''t hear the name of the Korean challenger properly." While I was feeling a sense of bitterness at the news, that was a happy feature of a misfortune. Before I realized it, I found myself in the meeting room of the Seoul Hunter Association. "" Inside the meeting room, about ten people were seated in their respective seats. Perhaps because my sense of Ki also improved as the skill level of my mana circuit went up I noticed that those sitting inside the meeting room were quite skilled challengers. I sat down next to Lee Hayeon and told her the questions that came to my mind. "Lee Hayeon-ssi, isn''t the summoning order for challengers given to all challengers on hard difficulty?" "Yeah. So every challenger with difficulty stopped by the Hunter Association at least once." "But why are there only a few challengers in this meeting room?" "That''s because, in this meeting room, only the top 40 of the Evaluation Rankings were gathered." As I tilted my head at those words, Lee Hayeon opened her mouth as if she would exin to me. "The challenger on the hard difficulty who''s below the 7th floor didn''t even get to pass by the meeting room." "They don''t count as abat power, and they don''t have much information, so we only gathered top-ranked challengers who have encountered challengers from another world." "I see." I mean, what''s the benefit of summoning even the lower-ranking challengers to the meeting room? However, when I looked around, Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk were nowhere to be seen. Of course, there was a possibility that they hadn''t returned from the Tower yet, but that was unlikely. Because they told me that they were nning to return to Earth after finishing the trial on the 10th floor. They probably wouldn''t have spent time training like me to raise the skill level and even implement Sword Ki. And they should''ve already returned to Earth, even if they werete because they had to sign an additional contract with another administrator. "Are there any challengers at the top of the Evaluation Rankings who didn''t attend here?" "To some extent, there are people who couldn''t be reached or have already moved." "What do you mean by moved?" "It''s simple. Those who said they have no intention of supporting the Japanese Hunter Association and only provided information, or those who already went to Japan." Went to Japan? I stared at Lee Hayeon as I wondered what that meant, and soon her exnation followed up. "As you know, the Japanese Hunter Association requested help from the Hunter Associations of other countries." "" "At that request, one of the hunters, who became a challenger in the United States, said that they would go directly, and two people from Korea also went to Japan in advance." "Could you please tell me who those two challengers from Korea are?" At that, Lee Hayeon nodded her head and revealed who those two were. "I''m pretty sure it was Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk? The 1st and 2nd ce in the Evaluation ranking went to Japan together." As soon as I heard her words that followed, I felt that a glimmer of possibility had entered my hand. It was none other than the possibility of breaking through Namgung Hyuk through the cooperation of Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk. Chapter 85: Dimension Invasion (4) Chapter 85: Dimension Invasion (4) Originally, I was going to get some help from the Korean Hunter Association to deal with Namgung Hyuk, but After hearing Lee Hayeon''s words, there was no need to borrow the hands of the Korean Hunter Association. Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk were challengers on a whole new level among the challengers in Korea. ''If I fight along with them, I think I have a winning chance against Namgung Hyuk.'' I could guess as to why they had gone ahead to Japan in response to the request for support from the Japanese Hunter Association. The two had a style where they clearly weighed their gains and losses, and as such, they didn''t move without enoughpensation. Moreover, the Korean Hunter Association seemed to be quite free in recruiting challengers, despite the Japanese Hunter Association''s request for support. Just like how they left the low-rank challengers as it was when they didnt agree to join, although they were sufficient enough to be recruited. It seemed that they had no intention of spending manpower calling challengers to the Japanese Hunter Association. Nevertheless, the fact that the two quickly moved to Japan meant that they thought they could earn amensurate reward in Japan. Where did the reimbursemente from that they risked going straight to Japan when these people didn''t even get stronger like me by absorbing souls? It was something obvious that you didn''t even have to see. ''The Japanese Hunter Association must''ve offered them a reward.'' It''d also be a reward worth moving the two of them. Some challengers may have moved to deal with this situation themselves, even from overseas. In addition, it was clear that the existing S-rank hunters would''ve stepped in to prevent the situation in Japan. They must''ve thought like I did that if they all gathered together and attacked all at once, there was no way that Namgung Hyuk couldn''t be killed. At that moment, when I was about to ask Lee Hayeon if any more hunters had moved to the Japanese side. Click. The meeting room door opened, and a man who appeared to be an employee of the Hunter Association stepped in. Then the eyes of the challengers who were sitting in their seats doing their other stuff moved their gazes to him. "Hello, challengers." Looking at him, continuing to speak calmly as soon as he nced around the conference room, Iughed. ''I knew it was a face I''ve seen somewhere before'' I never imagined that we''d meet here like this. "My name is Lee Seungjin, the leader of the Challenger management team of the Korean Hunter Association." The leader of the challenger management team at the Korean Hunter Association was someone I knew. He was a challenger who once introduced himself as an A-rank hunter in the Tower, and I immediately remembered him because he was the one who showed me around the public area. After mentioning that he dealt with information, we parted ways, telling me to look for his services often but to think that we met here again. ''If you look at it this way, the Hunter industry is quite narrow." As I felt dumbfounded and chuckled, Lee Seungjin soon started talking. "Thank you to the challengers who have gathered here in response to the call." He kept a serious expression and nced around the challengers once. As though he was trying to figure out the level of the challengers in this conference room. "Everyone must have a rough guess about what''s going on. Since an emergency summons was issued due to a challenger from another world who appeared in Shinjuku ward, Tokyo." The challengers in the meeting room frowned in displeasure at his words instead of responding. It was an attitude that they didn''t understand why they had to gather here because of that incident. However, Lee Seungjin continued to speak fluently. "As you all may know, the challenger from another world who appeared by moving through dimensions without any penalty of floor intrusion has been stirring up the downtown area of Shinjuku ward." "" In response, the Japanese Hunter Association concluded that it was impossible to subdue the challenger from another world with Japan''s power and requested support. "" "Of course, there''s Korea also among them." When he finished that sentence, the middle-aged challenger sitting in the corner of the meeting room showed irritation with a husky voice. "So what are you trying to say? Are you telling us to go to Japan and kill that crazy bastard who killed six A-rank hunters in a matter of seconds?" "The Japanese side insisted so. Since the challenger from another world mentioned the name of the Korean challenger, the Korean challenger is also responsible." "Bullshit. How do you even know if that''s true? Are you driving people to the edge with things that you don''t even know if it''s true?" Some of the challengers frowned at the reckless words and actions of the middle-aged man, but he wasn''t wrong in general. The levels of the challengers here were too low to subdue the challenger from another world who appeared in the Shinjuku ward. Even if they got a high rank in the Evaluation Ranking, their skills were just a little higher than that of an A-rank hunter. Because they all knew about it, the bacsh was fierce, and Lee Seungjin nodded as though he knew it. "The Hunter Association is well aware of that fact. The reason why everyone has gathered here isn''t to unterally notify the challengers that everyone will be sent to Shinjuku-ward." "?" "There are only two reasons why the Hunter Association has even issued an emergency summons and gathered all of the challengers on hard difficulty." "" Lee Seungjin slowly lowered the screen in the meeting room and continued his words. "First, to show the battle video secured of a Chinese S-rank hunter who went to support Shinjuku-ward, and The meeting room became rowdy as a video appeared on the screen that was lowered, but "Second, to raise awareness to you people by showing the video of that challenger from another world who appeared in Shinjuku ward." Lee Seungjin didn''t waste time and immediately yed the video, and soon the meeting room became quiet. It was understandable. "" *** *** Because in the video that appeared on the screen, a drone flying in the sky began to record a young man sitting in the middle of the street. The Chinese-style young man, whose eye-bags emphasized his decadent beauty, was sitting quietly with his legs crossed. ''So that''s Namgung Hyuk?'' It was for a short time that I was a little surprised by his unexpectedly ordinary attire. -I don''t know why only the insects keep on bugging me one by one, instead of the one I called. Namgung Hyuk, who was sitting down quietly, muttered and looked up at the sky. To be precise, he frowned as though he was displeased as he looked at the sky where the drone was flying. I expected the drone to be destroyed, watching Namgung Hyuk get up from his seat. But -I never thought that you''d wee me this fiercely, you know? Contrary to what I expected, the situation where the drone gets destroyed didn''t ur. Instead of destroying the drone, Namgung Hyuk turned his gaze to the middle of the streets of Shinjuku Ward. And walking towards him, a ck-haired man with explosive muscles stood out. "The person walking over there is Feng Z Wn, who was acknowledged as an S-rank hunter in China about a month ago." In short, it means that he was no different from being the main character of this battle video. "" However, I realized that Lee Seungjin''s intentions for showing this video weren''t good. I was able to predict what would happen to the hunter named Feng Z wn, who appeared in the video. However, all the challengers inside the meeting room looked at that scene with a nervous look, as though they couldn''t predict like me. [emailprotected]#%&[emailprotected]## Then they frowned as they saw the sight of Feng Z Wn grinning and muttering. It seems like thenguage wasn''t interpreted because he was an ordinary hunter from a foreign country, not a challenger from the Tower. Back in the Tower, anyone could understand thenguage, but since he wasn''t a challenger, they couldn''t understand each other''snguage. However, Namgung Hyuk nodded his head as though he understood what he was saying. -I got it. It seems like you aren''t the type to listen to me. Perhaps he has a separate ability to interpretnguages? I didn''t know what Feng Z Wn was bbering about, but he seemed to realize that Feng Z Wn was hostile to him. Soon he stood up, let out a bitter smile, and ced his hand on the hilt of the curved sword on his waist. -Well, I didn''t think I''d be able to achieve my goal right away anyway. Namgung Hyuk drew his sword as soon as he finished his words, and at that moment, an unbelievable situation happened. aaaaaaaash! The buildings around him all started to cut and fall down without any warning, and Feng Z Wn, who was approaching Namgung Hyuk rxedly, was startled and stepped backward. -Pathetic. Consider it a shame that you attacked me with such trivial skills. With those words asst, Feng Z wn rushed toward Namgung Hyuk while screaming out of spite. And after that, a battle that could only be called truly transcendent began to take ce. Feng Z Wn swung his fist with all his might and shed with Namgung Hyuk, but the result wasn''t good. Feng Z Wn was the one who got injuries, although it was a battle in which the ground cracked and the air burst whenever they exchanged an attack. Rather, Namgung Hyuk parried all of Feng Z Wn''s attacks and shed his whole body, gradually umting damage. The battle was concluded after only a few minutes had psed. -You were worth seeing for a person who can''t even wield Fist Ki. You may die in peace. aash! The moment Feng Z Wn''s body split in half and spilled blood and organs. Namgung Hyuk turned his back as though he wasn''t interested and sheathed his weapon. Aplete defeat. Then, the challengers in the meeting room were shocked by the result that could only be described as such. -If you make me waste more time, this city will experience something more terrible. Namgung Hyuk looked at the drone floating in the air, muttered coldly, and then drew his sword again. Bzzzzzt! After that, the drone showed a ck screen with noise, unable to capture anything. "" He''s strong. ''It''s not simply just a high level of physical ability or such.'' Feng Z Wn, who fought Namgung Hyuk just now, wasn''t a weak hunter either. If I fought Feng Z Wn, I wouldn''t lose, but that didn''t guarantee I''d win against him. ''And he killed such a skilled person in less than a few minutes, huh.'' I was feigning a smile at the strength that could be called a monster among monsters. "Did you see the challenger from another world without the floor intrusion penalty?" Lee Seungjin, who was looking at the video on the screen, looked around the meeting room and opened his mouth. "This is the reality. The Tower of the Trials is definitely not a ce topete." Lee Seungjin narrowed his eyes and continued his words calmly. "We all need to disclose all the hidden information and prepare to prevent this kind of situation from happening again." Only then do the challengers inside the meeting room frowned as if they had grasped Lee Seungjin''s intentions. He was basically telling the high-ranking challengers, who were reluctant to disclose information, to disclose all information. They didn''t gather only the challengers on a high rank of the Evaluation Ranking for nothing. As the atmosphere inside the meeting room died, Lee Seungjin opened his mouth again. "We''ll only send the people who wish to go for the current request of the Japanese Hunter Association." At those words, the faces of the challengers in the meeting room brightened up evidently. They thought that they''d be forced to be driven out to a deadly ce where even an S-rank hunter died helplessly. But they had the right to choose. There would be no other good news for them at the moment. "But if you don''t respond to the request for help, please at least disclose the information." Of course, Lee Seungjin firmly confirmed that choice wasn''tpletely free. If you wanted to ignore the request of the Japanese Hunter Association, you had to provide some information. However, it seemed like most of the challengers had no intention of opposing that now. Perhaps it was the same for Lee Hayeon. She smiled softly, pushed her face towards me, then whispered silently in my ear. "Things are better than I thought. We wont be assigned if this goes on." She seemed quite anxious because she was also selected as a high-rank challenger, but Contrary to what Lee Hayeon thought, my dissatisfaction was filling up. Even though Namgung Hyuk was strong, she said that Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk went to Japan. They didn''t conclude that there was no chance of winning at all, even in this situation, and that was the same for me, too. Although it was slim, the odds of winning existed, and it felt like I could at least inflict fatal damage on him. ''I didn''t wanna stand out, but I guess I can''t help it.'' In the end, I prepared myself to stand out and raised my hand in the toned atmosphere. "I''ll go to Shinjuku ward, Tokyo, following the request of the Japanese Hunter Association." Not only the challengers who were sitting in the meeting room but also Lee Seungjin stared at me as if they were dumbfounded. All the gazes looking at me seemed to tell me this at once. They didn''t know that crazy bastard who would go into such a deadly ce on their own actually existed. Chapter 86: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (1) Chapter 86: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (1) All the challengers in the meeting room looked at me like a crazy bastard. "I must''ve heard it wrong, right? Sungyeun-ssi?" Lee Hayeon even lifted her toes from the chair toe up and whispered in my ear. She asked me to say that what she just heard was something she misheard, but Unlike her, who doesn''t want to fight Namgung Hyuk, my head was full of thoughts about wanting to fight the challenger from another world. Namgung Hyuk in the video was stronger than I thought, but that didn''t mean I was going topletely be defeated. My limbs might be torn off a few times, but it wasn''t a level where I''d die, considering its a situation where the other challengers would be present. Therefore "It''s not a slip of the tongue nor a thoughtless word." Without further denial, I firmly conveyed my intentions, even by putting mana into my voice. Only then, Lee Seungjin, staring at me nkly, frowned as if he hade back to his senses and opened his mouth. "I remember you, Han Sungyeun-ssi." He soon stared straight at me and said he knew me. "And the fact that you''re always in the top 3 of the Evaluation Rankings." I didn''t recall telling him about the Evaluation rankings, so it must be information Lee Seungjin found out. I didn''t really care as to why he knew the rankings. I was prepared for my ranking and name to be revealed since the time I had repeated battles with my real name in the arena anyway. "So what?" "I just don''t get it. Why would someone as talented as you would say that you want to help Japan?" "Because that''s the path where I can grow." "What?" "You mentioned Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk went to the Japanese Hunter association, right?" "That''s right. They said they''d go even if they didn''t have to." "My reason is in a simr vein." Hearing what I said, Lee Seungjin narrowed his eyes and bit his lips. "I see. You''re thinking about the reward that the Japanese Hunter Association will provide you." "Even if there''s a cause, people won''t gather if there''s no reward after all." "Are you nning to go there just to get a Skill Proficiency potion?" "A Skill Proficiency potion, huh? So that''s the reward offered by the Japanese Hunter association." "You were saying you''d go even if you didn''t know about it? Even if it''s a Skill Proficiency potion, it''s a potion that only increases proficiency by 10%." Lee Seungjin stared at me as though he was asking if it was really worth risking my life for, but That didn''t mean I could tell him I changed my mind and not go. This was because, apart from my justification, Namgung Hyuk was a challenger from another world that appeared because of me. Moreover, A-rank hunters died because of that, which had a huge impact on the city too. And just because the risk is high, I should save myself and run away from it because the reward doesn''t seem like much? I couldn''t tolerate that. And at the same time "If you let go of it just because the reward isn''t much, you''ll end up being eliminated one day." The Skill Proficiency potion wasn''t an item that could be underestimated. To think that you can arbitrarily increase the proficiency of one of your skills by 10%? Although its performance was slightly lower than the Skill Proficiency potion obtained as amon reward for the 10th-floor trial It wasn''t a reward that could easily be ignored, so my desire to fall back further disappeared. "Now I understand why you became a ranker, Han Sungyeun-ssi." Lee Seungjin looked at me, opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, and then he said as though he was dumbfounded. "You are not normal." At those words, I giggled and replied casually. "I''ve known that for a long time." Because I already knew that I wasn''t normal. *** I went straight to Incheon Airport and immediately departed for Japan through the ticket that Lee Seungjin had booked. It seemed like Lee Seungjin didn''t want to let me go, but In fact, there was no way for him to forcibly ignore a request for support from the Japanese Hunter Association when I was willing to go. I could easily guess why he didn''t want to let me go. ''It should be uneasy to see three Korean ranker-level challengers responding to the summons of Japan.'' The challenger from another world that appeared in Shinjuku ward, Tokyo is currently a monster among monsters. From the point where the video of Feng Z Wn, who was said to be China''s S-rank hunter, helplessly getting killed was released. It''d beplicated for them to send a challenger who may not have been trained properly yet. ''The Korean Hunter Association must be afraid of the worst-case scenario.'' The worst-case scenario. That would probably be a situation in which Kim Seunghoon, Oh Choonsuk, and myself all get annihted all at once. Among the challengers belonging to the Tower of Trials, we were listed in the highest ranking in Korea. The damage that Korea would receive would be enormous if we die, so they would''ve rather wished for me not to go. However, how could I not respond when Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk responded to it? Surprisingly, Lee Hayeon didn''t deny my decision, unlike Lee Seungjin did til the end. She let me go, saying there was no use stopping me if it was my decision, and I believed it was the right thing to do. *** *** Of course [Lee Hayeon: Please give me a call when you arrive at the Japanese Hunter Association.] [Lee Hayeon: If it seems dangerous, you must run away immediately.] [Lee Hayeon: And if you have an item you need, request them from the Japanese Hunter Association no matter what.] [Lee Hayeon: Also, request for a recovery potion as a basic support item. Got it?] [Lee Hayeon: And] On the contrary to letting me go easily, she nagged me constantly through messenger. There was a hint of anxiety in her words. While reading her messages, I smirked and turned off the screen of my smartphone. "She does really seem worried about me." Even my mother, who died a long time ago, wasn''t this extreme. However, I honestly couldn''t really understand Lee Hayeon''s behavior. In fact, I only belonged to the White Silver guild by contract, and I wasnt a proper guild member. The White Silver guild was just a supplier for the dungeon or a middleman for me. And it was clear from the contract alone that we weren''t building any further rtionship. However, Lee Hayeon was always kind, asking if there was anything she could do to help me. Even when the White Silver guild ced a condition on me to clear the dungeon, she always prioritized me. Should I say it felt like she was actually showing care for me, not just a contractual rtionship? "" That was the problem. She cares about me, not by a give-and-take structure. Itplicated my mind so much that I wondered if I should change how I treated her. Even more so because there was nothing I could do for her right now. However Thatplicated feeling soon faded as the ne I rodended in Japan. I slowly stood up from my seat as I listened to the announcement from the ne that followed. Now, the time hade to put an end to other thoughts and really head to the Japanese Hunter Association. *** Just as I was about to leave the airport, a Japanese woman approached me at the airport entrance. "Are you perhaps the challenger, Han Sungyeun?" Looking at her speak fluent Korean, I soon opened my mouth. "Are you from the Japanese Hunter Association?" "You''re right. I''m here to pick you up, Challenger Han Sungyeun." "" "My name is Arie Chika. Nice to meet you." Surprisingly, they were pretty low-key for those who imed the Korean hunter Association was responsible. I thought they would''ve been raging at the fact that a Korean challenger was mentioned from the mouth of a challenger from another world. But Arie Chika, who was currently looking at me, was polite rather than rude. I definitely liked that. "Nice to meet you too. Arie-ssi." I asked her to guide me to the Japanese Hunter Association immediately, and she quickly picked up my luggage and escorted me to her car. There wasn''t much to talk about, so I closed my eyes and waited until we arrived at the Japanese Hunter Association. "Challenger Han Sungyeun, we have arrived." As I heard Arie Chika saying so, I got out of the car and looked around the building. People were unusually crowded in this area, unlike on our way here and at the airport. Judging from the fact that I could sense most of them having mana, it seemed that hunters or challengers were moving in and out. ''Looks like only the hunters and challengers are busy because of the Shinjuku ward incident?'' The civilians didn''t even appear on the streets due to the incident in the Shinjuku ward. I was somewhat also disturbed by the sight, as though an apocalypse was actually upon us, but "Challenger Han Sungyeun, please follow me. Others are waiting inside." Following Arie Chika''s guidance, I soon turned my head and entered the building. And I knew immediately who the people waiting inside were that Chika Arie was talking about. There were two familiar faces that I''d seen before inside the meeting room, which was the destination she had led me to. "It''s the first time we''ve seen each other since the trial of the 10th floor." I greeted them right away as I sat down in front of the two of them. "Kim Seunghoon-ssi, and Oh Choonsuk-ssi." They both looked at me and soon greeted me. "Yeah. I never thought I''d see you here." Oh Choonsuk spoke to me as if whispering with a stiffened face, and "You arrivedter than I expected." Kim Seunghoon said so while still wearing a ck mask that didn''t reveal his face. He acted as though he knew I wasing here, but it wasn''t surprising. Because I also knew that Kim Seunghoon would definitelye here. However "Is this all the people who gathered at the request for support from the Japanese Hunter Association?" I couldn''t hide my disappointment as soon as I looked around the meeting room. Because no one was sitting in this meeting room right now other than the three of us. "They said that an additional challenger will arrive from the United States soon." Kim Seunghoon stayed silent for a moment and answered, but it wasn''t really great news. I was ridiculed for the situation where the four challengers were the only forces. Of course, it was safe to say that we three had the skills of an S-rank hunter, but The challenger from another world who was currently in Shinjuku ward was an opponent that it''d be uncertain if we''d be able to hunt down, even with the three of us. ''Moreover, I don''t even know how strong the challenger who''s arriving additionally from the US is, so'' I thought that it''d be better without them if the challenger who would arrive soon was weaker than I expected. But while I was lost in thought, I turned my head to the sound of the meeting room door opening. I could see a red-haired woman walking in through the meeting room door. And "Huh?" As soon as she entered the meeting room, she looked at me and muttered as if she were dumbfounded. "Why are you here?" At the same time, I couldn''t help but look at her and say this while making a hollow smile. Who would''ve thought she was the American challenger who''d be arrivingst? "That''s my line, you see." Katheryn Bt. She''s a strong person who wields the powers rted to the fire that I once fought in the arena. And a challenger who left a loaded statement that she would visit me in the future, just before she was defeated in the battle. She was the American challenger who had arrived atst. Chapter 87: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (2) Chapter 87: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (2) Katheryn Bt looked at me as if to ask why I was here, but "" I was so bewildered to the point that I thought I should be the one sending that gaze. I never imagined that Katheryn Bt woulde from the United States, not anywhere else. However, It looked like she was also greatly bewildered, as it was pretty evident that she seemed perplexed. ''I thought it was intentional as she said she''de to visit meter on in the arena.'' But it turns out that she had a face that she didn''t even know I''d be here. It was a moment where the awkward silence passed between each other because of that. "Finally, all the challengers have gathered." Following her, Arie Chika, who had guided me to the meeting room, politely bowed and introduced herself. "I''m Arie Chika, the president of the Japanese Hunter Association." I opened my eyes wide at those words and looked at Arie Chika. ''She''s the president of the Japanese Hunter Association?'' Since she came to pick me up at the airport, I thought she was simply an employee of the Association, but to find out that she''s the president of the Japanese Hunter Association, I couldn''t help but feel surprised. I was even more surprised as I didn''t expect a president of the Association to personallye to pick up a challenger whose name wasn''t really known, too. "Thank you very much for responding to the Japanese hunter Association''s request for support." Of course, I regained myposure after a while and looked at her. And soon, Arie Chika looked at Katheryn Bt and me with a serious face and opened her mouth. "Do you know each other?" I pondered for a while on that question and came up with an answer immediately. "To some extent. We met briefly at the Tower." Well actually, we met briefly and fought in the Colosseum close to death, but Katheryn Bt didn''t deny what I said either. She just bowed her head and came to the left of my seat, and silently sat down. Just then, Arie Chika nodded as if she understood it and opened her mouth again. "I see. Well, that''s great. Since I had to introduce her to everyone anyway." "?" "Currently, no further support wille from the Japanese Hunter Association." Oh Choonsuk, sitting still, was the first to react to her words. "W-Wait. Wait a second. What do you mean by that? Are you saying there are no more supporting challengers or even hunters?" "To be honest there''ll be no more hunters and challengersing here. The situation has be worse than they thought, and it seems that they are restricting the support of challengers as well as the hunters." Oh Choonsuk kept on opening and closing his mouth as if he was speechless at that, but Katheryn Bt, who sat on my left side, and Kim Seunghoon showed no signs of agitation. And that was the same for me. "" All unreasonable situations in the world derive from ack of ability. If Japan hadn''t been a weak country in terms of hunters, other countries would''ve actively supported their hunters. Since it would be a country that holds that much value, there won''t be much to lose since it''s a fight with a high chance of winning. However, Japan is a country with only one S-rank hunter and 40 A-rank hunters. Moreover, six of those 40 A-rank hunters have already died, and the S-rank hunter from China was also killed. In this situation, no country would allow further aid to Japan, which has beenbeled as a weak country in terms of hunters. There was no reason for other countries to help Japan while bearing the huge loss. ''That''s the reality.'' There would be no hunters or challengers who''d volunteer to go either. To be frank, I had to say that the four challengers gathered here are abnormal. Because normally, no one would respond to a request for support even if they were told that it wouldn''t be necessary for this situation. "As of now, no one is willing to help Japan." Arie Chika revealed a little bit of gloom and continued her words. "I understand that all of you are perplexed. Since the monster that appeared in Shinjuku-gu of Tokyo certainly has an out of standard power." But she soon erased the gloom and spoke with power in her voice. "But we have a winning chance." As she spoke those words, she looked at Katheryn Bt and said confidently. "With the ability of Katheryn Bt, we can turn the tables of this fight." That she''s the one who could bring the initiative to our side in this fight. *** In an instant, the gazes in the meeting room began to focus on me. To be exact, it was towards Katheryn Bt sitting right next to me. "Among the powers I have, there''s a power called ''Suppression of Fire.''" Just then, she broke the silence and opened her mouth to exin her ability. "If I can make the me triggered by this power reach an opponent stronger than me, at most, the opponent''s max stats will drop by -10, and some skills will be sealed randomly." I could see why Arie Chika looked at her and said she could be the one to turn the tables in this fight. "You must have a great administrator. To acquire such an overpowered power." The ability that Katheryn Bt had was truly overpowered To the extent that Kim Seunghoon, who had rarely opened his mouth so far, spit out a word as if it was ridiculous. "I won''t deny it." Katheryn Bt also kept her proud face and responded so. Then she nced and smiled softly at me. Should I say her eyes shone brightly like a puppy waiting for apliment? "That''s amazing." I felt burdened by the look in her eyes, hoping for a reaction, so I had no choice but to say something. "I know, right?" Then I made a smirk as I watched Katheryn Bt nodding her head in satisfaction. At first nce, her outward appearance is arrogant, but I didn''t expect she''d act this way just because she heard a word of praise. Although her behavior felt childish, I just epted it and turned my head. "Anyway with her powers, we can seize the chance to victory." Then, Arie Chika cleared her throat and began to continue. "However, the condition under which her ability activates is important." *** *** Conditions for power activation. I narrowed my eyes and opened my mouth at those words. "So the fire must reach the challenger from another world." "That''s right. Otherwise, the ability called power won''t activate, apparently." "But there''s no way the challenger from another world will willingly get struck by that fire." "So, in short, we''ll have to create a situation where Katheryn will trigger the ''Suppression of Fire''." "You''re wise. Exactly." Hearing that, Kim Seunghoon threw a word as if it were nothing. "If It''s just that, I can make that as much as you want." After that, Oh Choonsuk hesitated as though he was worried, then soon nodded his head. "Mm I don''t know if it''s possible. But well, I''ll try my best." Unexpectedly, he didn''t seem confident in his voice, but I knew Oh Choonsuk''s capability. He was the one who swept the army in battle, probably because he had mastered magic-based skills professionally. Of course, he couldn''t beat me because I supplemented my mana and stamina through souls. Even so, Oh Coonsuk was clearly a strong person to say that he''s weak because of that. There wasn''t much to worry about. And "I don''t think there''s anything more to discuss now, so let''s get going." I didn''t have anything else to quibble over. Since I even learned how to properly use the Sword Ki in the waiting room. In fact, I had concluded that there would be no situation in which I''d be a hindrance to the party. Arie Chika also looked at me and then nodded in agreement to some extent. "If there''s no one who wants toe up with a more specific n, we''ll do so." Of course, none of the four wanted to n out a specific n. Assessing each other''s capability was a kind of trick that we acquired while climbing the Tower. Everyone instinctively knew that none of those who came here were unskilled to strategize and fight. "I''ll respect your decision. The helicopter is waiting on the roof right now, so let''s depart immediately." Arie Chika immediately led us out of the meeting room, and I followed. It didn''t take long to get to the roof and hop on the helicopter. As soon as I got on the helicopter, I felt it moving, apanied by noise, and the helicopter departed for its destination. We didn''t even talk to each other properly, and most of us just waited for the arrival without moving, with our eyes closed. Even Oh Choonsuk, who had been nervous and perplexed earlier, had a calm face as if waiting for the uing battle. Only Katheryn Bt looked outside and nced at me from time to time. It seemed like everyone didn''t think that this battle would be that difficult. Would it be because they all had a history of encountering a challenger from another world many times? It was then that I had a flood of thoughts regarding this. "I didn''t originally n to meet like this." Katheryn Bt, who had only been ncing at me, said so out of the blue. "Actually, I wanted to meet in a little bit more ordinary way." "How can we meet normally when we didn''t meet normally from the beginning." "That''s well, true. Our first meeting wasn''t ordinary either, hah." Soon, Katheryn Bt epted the fact and sighed. "There''s something I want to know Are you like a neer with experience?" "What do you mean by that?" "I did a search for you on the Korean Hunter Association website, you see." "" "However, only one record appeared on the website of the Korean hunter Association." "I must''ve appeared as a C rank hunter there." Well in fact, to Katheryn, I might look like a hunter who retired and came back to the field. Aside from getting stronger in the Tower, I became a C-rank hunter through the hunter exam. And I didn''t have a lot of records of being active as a hunter since then, after all. "But whatever you may think, most of it is probably wrong." "Because before I entered the tower, I wasn''t a hunter." "What do you mea" It was the moment when Katheryn was about to ask a question as if she was dumbfounded. Smaaaaaaaaaash!! With the sight of a building copsing down with the sound of an explosion, I got startled and, at the same time, looked at Arie Chika, who was in the same helicopter. "It looks like the challenger from another world is running rampant." She looked at the situation outside and soon said so while muttering. "Ever since the death of Feng Z Wn, who responded to the request for support from China, hes been destroying the city like this." "" "He started running rampant at the same time when we started moving in a helicopter. Now you have to prepare for some battle." "I see." As expected from a challenger from Murim dimension, his doings were far out of the expectations. I never imagined that he''d cause such an uproar for not having brought me. I frowned at that fact, then made a decision, stood up, and spoke to Katheryn. Seeing the situation was worse than I thought, I couldn''t just stay still. "Katheryn, can yound from the air?" "What? What do you mean by that?" "I''ve got a good idea. If this works, you''ll be able to cast your power on him right away." "Uh I believe I''ll be able tond somehow if it''s this much height?" "Then that should be enough." I immediately wrapped my arm around her waist and headed out of the helicopter. "!?" "Excuse me for a second." "W-W-Wait, what are you nning to!?" "What do you mean by what?" Activating Power, ''Wings of Steel''. "We''re gonna fly." And at the same time, I went out of the helicopter while controlling the wings extending from my back. Whiiish! Like a bird, I spread my wings and flew to the city''s center where the roars were breaking out At a speed that could only be called transcendental. Chapter 88: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (3) Chapter 88: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (3) Flying. Everyone born in this world must''ve dreamed of flying in the infinitely wide expanse at least once. Only creatures born with wings can fly and move freely in the sky. I also longed for it when I was young to the point that I could barely remember it. Of course, after realizing it was a dream that could nevere true, I immediately gave up on it. However Currently, I had acquired wings and flew in the skies of Tokyo. It was a skill I had used once in the waiting room of the Tower, but the feeling of using it outside waspletely different. The flight in the waiting room was just to see if I could really fly. The only feeling I had at that time was that it was just amazing that a lot of mana was consumed, and I could fly without pping my wings a lot. But now, it was different. Flying in the skies of Tokyo gave me a sense of omnipotence, as if I had truly be the ruler of the sky. Honestly, if it weren''t for the buildings copsing with the roaring from all over the ce, I would''ve beenughing out loud. In fact, I felt the corners of my lips slightly rising up. "Why are you smiling carefreely after bringing a person as you please!" At this, Katheryn, hanging on my left arm, said something while getting mad, but I couldn''t help it. She was a challenger who could restrain Namgung Hyuk, who was going rampant without any penalty. "Smiling was my mistake. I just thought it was amazing to be flying in the sky." I couldn''t leave Katheryn behind when the full-scale fight with Namgung Hyuk would be starting soon. Because of Namgung Hyuk, who had begun to indiscriminately destroy buildings in Shinjuku ward, I had no time to exin. Of course, we could''ve fought Namgung Hyuk after waiting for the copse, but the goal wasn''t just to defeat Namgung Hyuk, but also to protect the city. That''s why I couldn''t wait any longer, and I was flying with my wings straight out like this. Perhaps she noticed that fact. She became quite calm, unlike a while ago, struggling for me to let her go. "In all honesty you''re insane. You must have a screw loose somewhere. Who in the world would agree to fly without exnation in that situation?" "Needless to say, the grunting was still there, but I could obviously bear with it." I responded to Katheryn''s words while pouring some more mana into the wings and increasing my speed. Whiiiish! "I couldn''t exin one by one and fly in a situation where the city was being destroyed." "I know. I''m just saying, so don''t take it seriously." Katheryn said as though she was fed up, then raised her head and looked at me. "So, what are you nning to do now?" "What''s the point of asking? We''ll go to Namgung hyuk." "No, not that. I''m asking about the battle n." "?" "You don''t have any? You left everyone else behind and just brought me." "That''s obviously because you''re a person who can''t be taken out in this battle." But she frowned frustratingly and then let out a deep sigh. "Right now, only the two of us came here, and everyone else is still in the helicopter. "That''s right." "Then you or I will have to create an opening for that monster to activate the power, right?" "Is that the reason why you asked if I had a battle n?" Then Katheryn nodded as if she was tired of me, and I quickly fell into my thoughts. That''s because I wondered if the bare minimum of a battle n was necessary like she said. But ''But there really is no such thing as a battle n.'' I immediately concluded that there was no such thing as a battle n, and there was no need for such a thing. Because "You said you cannd properly even if you fell from the air, Katheryn." From the moment we came out of the helicopter, I had already decided on how to unleash the strongest attack on Namgung Hyuk through this flight. "?" "That should be enough. Because there''s no need for other battle ns." "No, honestly. Are you making fun of me?!" "How will you bending?" "It''s a skill. It''s called a leap of purity, and the bearer bes immune from all fall damage." "That''s a great skill. I guess there''s nothing to worry about." Even when Katheryn was mad, once she was asked a question, she stopped her tantrum and answered. At that, I lowered my head and gave a bitter smile after looking into her eyes for a moment. I couldn''t help but send her a little bit of pity. Because she had tond on the ground without anyone''s help from now. "Katheryn." "?" "I''m sorry, but the battle n has already been set." "What do you" "I''ll m Namgung Hyuk with my wings while I drop onto Namgung Hyuk." "Wh-What are you talking about!? You might die if you do that!" "It''s fine. I won''t die. At most, it''ll probably be about breaking a few limbs plus a fracture on my entire body." I wouldn''t die easily because there was the tenacity stat that I''d raised with Necromancy so far. As long as I didn''t hurt my head or heart, I probably wouldn''t get into that much of a serious situation. I wasnt worried that much because the Ashen Blood skill would shut off the sense of pain and recover quickly. But Katheryn looked at me while opening and closing her mouth, dting her pupils in disbelief. "B-But that''s why would you go that far" "I wonder. These are the only things that I can do, so." I couldn''t win if I didn''t risk my life in even a single battle. In the Tower, where defeat means death, I could only risk my life in the beginning. I could survive only by risking my own life and doing nonsensical things. And it continued while climbing the Tower and fighting countless monsters. But Katheryn looked at me like a person who was about tomit a supreme sacrifice and "You''re really out of your mind." She chewed on that word and gazed down with vacant eyes. I couldn''t really say anything back, so I just said one statement. "See youter." She''ll understand the situation when she actually sees me alive. I freed Katheryn from my left arm and fell to the center, where roars could be heard. It was the center where the building was currently being destroyed, so Namgung Hyuk was probably right down here. In an instant, the speed of the fall increased transcendentally, and soon the air resistance began to push the body away. *** *** It didn''t matter.

Your skin develops a property that absorbs all physical damage by 10% I even activated the Wrought Iron Pendant''s property of absorbing physical damage after a long time. Creating a barrier by consuming blood with the unique effect of The Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat (A-). At the same time, through the Vampire Count''s Old Tailcoat, I wrapped myself in a pretty good barrier. I didn''t stop there. I protected my brain by wrapping my head with the Wings of Steel. And aaaaaaaaaaam! Then I fell to the ground with a deafening noise. *** The Namgung noble family. It''s a family with such strong prosperity that it''s called the best among the five noble families in Murim. And at the same time, it was a huge group where the sword master, who''s respected by all martial artists, was present as the previous head of the family. However -To think that a person born as a young master of the Namgung noble family is dull-witted. What should we do about this? Namgung Hyuk, born in that high-powered Namgung family, had a poor childhood due to the prestige of his family. When he turned six years old, Namgung Hyuk was insulted by his father for being a dull-witted bastard. Dull-witted. In an era where the value of a person is determined only by the talent of their martial arts. The evaluation that Namgung Hyuk had heard from his father could only be said to be disastrous. He was weak, and he couldn''t speak properly, unlike other kids. Seeing him, Namgung Hyuk''s father despised him until he reached the age of ten. -Your rise of skill level in martial arts has already stopped at this point? At one time, his father persecuted his mother, asking if he was really his son who inherited his blood. And each time, Namgung Hyuk had to listen to his father and mother fight with an empty look. Why is a child, who will be active as a rising star in a few years, like this? Namgung Hyuk''s father treated him harshly and persecuted him like that every day But he wasn''t talentless for martial arts or inferior to other children. -Why doesn''t everyone understand the sound of the sword? Namgung Hyuk was born with the ability to hear the sound of the sword. It''s not that the sword actually speaks, but he just hears the sword ringing. But through that process, Namgung Hyuk was learning martial arts with the sound of the sword. Such as where to swing the sword and where to draw the sword to cut the enemy. Or where you should point the sword to parry the enemy''s attack and lead to a counterattack. He could figure it all out through the sound of the sword. Genius. Namgung Hyuk had a talent that can''t be stressed enough, even ifbeled as a heaven-sent gift. However, Namgung Hyuk''s talent was useless to his father, who thought that only the technique of martial arts was everything. -I''m not interested in inferior children who can''t even follow a specified movement. At the age of ten, he was branded as an inferior child and regarded as a burden. -You''re carving the path of the sword before even following the specified movement. You''re a true genius. Until he met his grandfather, the former head of the Namgung noble family and called the swordmaster of that time. From that moment on, from an inferior child who simply couldn''t follow a set movement, Namgung Hyuk was raised by his grandfather as a genius of a sword with innate qualities that no one could match. Namgung Hyuk''s grandfather respected him, saying that learning a martial art isn''t just about following specific techniques. No, to be more precise, he respected Namgung Hyuk''s talent. His talent itself, which could only be called violent. The result was simple. -Sword Ki at the age of thirteen, huh Your achievement is higher than when I was young. Namgung Hyuk reached the level of a Sword Ki Master at the same time a sudden realization overwhelmed him. It was an achievement that he achieved only three years after he began to learn martial arts properly. At that instant, for the first time, Namgung Hyuk felt a taste of freedom. Blue sky. The fluttering blue Sword Ki resembled the flow of the sky and ran freely. But even if so, he was only at a level where he could hurt people with Ki. Namgung Hyuk was greatly disappointed by that fact, but his grandfather soon turned his disappointment into expectation. -Martial art isn''t a path that exists only to kill people, but a path to transcendence. The sword master showed that Namgung Hyuk''s Sword Ki wasn''t just for killing people. Acquiring god-like abilities through endless self-training is what martial arts are. And he generously informed Namgung Hyuk that the state he had now reached was just the beginning of that path. Originally, Ki was aw that existed in a world so small that it couldn''t be seen with the naked eye. A small perceptive world. After condensing the existence of the small world''s Ki into the body, which is so small that it can''t be observed at all And twisting thews of reality by bringing it to the observable realm called therge perceptive world -The starting point of that is Sword Ki. Twisting thews of reality so that you could pierce through steel like tofu was the true nature of the Sword Ki. It was around then The Tower of Trials is selecting the right person from the Murim dimension. Namgung Hyuk was summoned to the Tower of Trials that he heard as a rumor. And he climbed the Tower faster than anyone else and finally made a splendid achievement of climbing up to the 20th floor. It was an incredible feat aplished at the age of only seventeen, but -I don''t know why there are so many boring people in the world. Namgung Hyuk rather fell into a feeling of boredom because of this, and he didn''t climb the Tower and only passed the time. In the meantime, he realized that an interesting element called ''floor intrusion'' existed in the Tower. Since then, he has been fighting challengers from minor dimensions who won''t cause trouble even if he fights them. In the process, Namgung Hyuk felt that the boredom he began to feel while climbing the Tower was slowly recovering. He felt like the blood that had cooled after a long time of boiling. The challengers of a dimension that wasn''t even properly registered in the Tower were weak. However, there were learning opportunities among them, and Namgung Hyuk grew stronger and stronger. Because of that, Namgung Hyuk didn''t even climb the Tower properly and only ughtered challengers from minor dimensions. He found out that the felon that killed Baek Sunhak, the elder of the Murim alliance, was a challenger belonging to a minor dimension. And without hesitation, Namgung Hyuk moved to the small dimension to fight the challenger and caused a bloody ughter. But this time, something was odd. "" Namgung Hyuk, who was destroying buildings in Shinjuku-ward of Tokyo, was puking out blood from his mouth. "Kohough." He was quite damaged by the unidentified object that had just fallen from the sky. His internal organs of the body were quite damaged, and the flow of the Ki flowing through his body was also greatly disturbed. Still, in the midst of that, Namgung Hyuk kept his eyes open and looked at that something rammed down on the wreckage of the building he was destroying. What had just fallen from the sky slowly recovered its shape from the shape that wrapped itself in its wings and soon turned into a human. And A man in an old red tailcoat stumbled out of the wreckage of the building. Soon after, he spat out the blood that had gathered in his mouth and muttered to himself as if he was fed up. "I swear, falling from the sky is something you can''t do twice." Chapter 89: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (4) Chapter 89: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (4) The first emotion I felt after the transcendental speed drop ended was regret. A soul has absorbed an attack on the user. A soul has absorbed an attack on the user. Soul of Earth Snake has been consumed. Soul of Earth Snake has been consu Soul of Earth Snake has been con Even after all remaining souls had been consumed for passive shield after replenishing the mana. My vision was so red that I had no idea what was happening. I could only assume that my brain wasn''t hurt that poorly from the fact since I could still think. Activating the skill Ashen Blood. All pain inflicted on the user is reduced by 40%. I couldn''t feel anything, as though I didn''t have any sensory system. But one thing was sure, I wasnt in a normal state right now. I couldn''t see anything, hear anything, and my sense of touch was so dull that it seemed almost non-existent. To that extent, I could see for sure that I was seriously injured. It almost felt like a lie that I protected myself by the Wrought Iron Pendant and The Vampire Count''s Old Tailcoat. I was naive. I didn''t think of the after-effect with the thought that I had really be a being that transcended a human being. Of course, seeing myself still alive and activating skills, I didn''t think I was totally wrong there, but ''I''ll have to think about after-effects from now on.'' Even so, I didn''t want to keep moving like this to the point where I''d destroy my body. By having a narrow escape from death, Skill Ashen Blood''s proficiency went up by 20%. Well, seeing my proficiency increase like this, I think I could move a little bit more recklessly, too. In the midst ofplicated thoughts, I soon felt my vision slowlying back. At the same time, the sensation of my stiffened body, as if they were paralyzed, soon returned with the excruciating pain. "" I wondered why I couldn''t feel anything, but my situation was more severe than I thought. Fortunately, I wrapped around my body with steel wings, so I didn''t allow any external attacks. But my legs werepletely crushed that their shape couldn''t be recognized, and perhaps my left hand flew somewhere. It couldn''t be seen anywhere. Of course ''This actually regenerates, huh.'' Injuries that would''ve been difficult to regenerate even with a regeneration potion began to heal within seconds. The skeleton of the crushed leg was newly created, the flesh was added, and the lower body returnedpletely. And for the missing left hand, flesh began to wriggle from the wrist and then immediately reproduced the shape of the hand. I moved my hand, truly feeling relieved about the fact that I hadbined the Ashen Blood skill in the waiting room before. Thanks to my hand being intact, I was still holding the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword safely. And the Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat didn''t look damaged either. At that, I stood up, slowly spreading the steel wings that covered my body. Crumble. After standing up from the remains of the building, I dragged my trembling legs and stepped out of the remains. Soon after, I spat out the blood that had gathered in my mouth and muttered to myself as though I was fed up. "I swear, falling from the sky is something you can''t do twice." It was then "Who are you?" I turned my head in the direction where those words were heard. And I was shocked to see the young man in a blue martial arts uniform standing there. "" Contrary to what I expected, Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky, Namgung Hyuk, wasn''t seriously injured. Of course, there was blood running down his lips, but he didn''t appear seriously injured as I did. ''Howe'' The charge that just happened along with the drop was, frankly, the most lethal attack I could make. Even if it doesn''t have an infinite amount of usage like Sword Ki, it was certain that it''s the best I could do in terms of killing. However, looking at him having not even a proper wound, I couldn''t help but be bewildered. But as soon as I saw his swollen right hand and the sword in his hand. I was able to understand why Namgung Hyuk was fine in a way that I wouldn''t even want to imagine. "You, struck me away." He struck me, dropping while wrapped in steel wings, away in that instance. As I wrapped myself in wings of steel and dropped, he struck me away with his sword at that instant. No, to be more precise, he must''ve parried me away with his sword. But that fact alone made me extremely nervous. The charge that I just did was the one that gathered up all my mana in the body and mmed it into Namgung Hyuk. However, Namgung Hyuk recognized this surprise attack and immediately parried it away with a sword. But "Didn''t I ask you a question? Who are you?" There was no time for me to feel shocked about it. aaaaaang! "" I had no choice but to frown while blocking the sword that rushed towards me with Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword. He was strong. Namgung Hyuk wasn''t only skilled in swordsmanship, but he also had considerable physical abilities. Even though we had just exchanged a single attack, my hands were shaking, and it felt like it was about to break. But, I bluffed even more for that and said while staring straight at Namgung Hyuk "You searched for me so eagerly, yet you can''t even recognize me when we meet, huh." The moment when Namgung Hyuk frowned and opened his mouth at my mockingly spat words. "What do you" "You might figure it out if I do this." I immediately injected mana within my body into the sword and raised the corner of my mouth. Activating the power Sword Ki Master. Activating the skill Lightning Sword Ki. Bzzzt! The moment he witnessed the torrent of thunder that raged like a whirlpool around the sword. Namgung Hyuk''s eyes changed, and he opened his mouth as if he was in shock. "Sword Ki!?" And "I''m challenger Han Sungyeun." I roared at that moment, pushing Namgung Hyuk''s sword like a storm. *** *** Facing an opponent I could never win, I squeezed out all my strength. Activating the skill Instant eleration. Movement beyond the limit caused my bones and sinews to creak and damage my body. And with the skill''s effect, the mana that flowed through my body ran wildly, and the veins were torn apart. My body rang an rm and shouted that I wouldn''t be able toe back if I crossed the line any further. To the warning that was given to me by life itself Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 70%. Number of stacks - 7/7 I ignored it even without giving it any attention. Baaaaaaaang! Even though we both didn''t yield an inch. Just a sh of pure power broke down the asphalt road. Of course, in the midst of that, Namgung Hyuk just raised his eyebrows slightly as if he was surprised. "Lighting Sword Ki?" He wasn''t bleeding from his mouth or shaking his arms as I did. Moreover, before I knew it, the sword in Namgung Hyuk''s hand was filled with Sword Ki. "Don''t tell me, you stole Baek Sunhak''s swo" Ignoring Namgung Hyuk, who began to raise his voice, I twisted the sword I was crossing against his and aimed at Namgung Hyuk''s neck, as though stabbing that opening in the moment. Namgung Hyuk leaned his upper body back to avoid the sword that was slowly slipping like a snake and clicked his tongue. "Full of unnecessary will to fight, this is why challengers from minor dimensions are" ng ng! However, Namgung Hyuk counterattacked my sword attack even with his swollen right hand. "Such poor swordsmanship you have." What he said was true. Namgung Hyuk''s swordsmanship skill, which the Iron-Blooded Monarch guessed, was rank A. But the swordsmanship skill I use is only a C-rank, so it''d be natural for him to be unsatisfied. Nevertheless, I had the skills to make up for theck of swordsmanship skills. Activating the skill Chaotic Sword-fighting y. Attack speed with sword increases by 20%. Current skill''s number of stacks - 10/10 Just like ying a sword-fight y, where you set a script and act it out. Namgung Hyuk blocked all the attacks I did as if they were ridiculous. With minimal movements, he blocked all the attacks that threatened his body, and he even asionally parried the des. "Looks like Sword Ki is the only thing that you''ve stolen from Baek Sunhak." There was an absolute wall that couldn''t be crossed. But I didn''t think I could defeat Namgung Hyuk with a sword from the beginning. The reason why I was passionately attacking was just for this one moment. Whirrr! "!?" Suddenly, a fire erupted behind Namgung Hyuk, and it spread around him. Due to the power ''Suppression of Fire'', the stats of those who touch the me will greatly be reduced. Due to the user of power ''Suppression of Fire'', you''ll temporarily be immune to this me. Looking at the two system messages that popped up, I looked away. "The power has been activated! Don''t die until other challengers arrive!" Soon after, I noticed Katheryn, who came through the remains of the building, shouting at me not to overdo it. Then, Namgung Hyuk became extremely irritated, as though he realized I wasn''t attacking him without any ns. "Filthy little worm, I''ll make you regret interrupting my fight." Namgung Hyuk irritatedly turned around and immediately moved to kill Katheryn, but He couldn''t match me as I reached the level of transcendental mobility by activating all my skills. aaang! Sparks burst from the swords shing, and we both once again assessed each other''s gap. At that moment, I was sure that Namgung Hyuk had weakened and spoke sarcastically. "Did you ask if I had stolen Baek Sunhak''s sword?" "" "I''ll soon be using your Sword Ki, too." "How dare a mere minor dimension challenger fool me with your fake martial arts!!" It was then "I guess you didn''t think that you could be defeated by that mere challenger from a minor dimension." aaaaaaaaaam! Kim Seunghoon, who appeared with a bolt of lightning wrapped around his body, immediately swung his hammer at Namgung Hyuk. Namgung Hyuk frowned at that attack, but he immediately backed away from me and took a defensive position. Baaam! Perhaps the impact was huge, Namgung Hyuk was pushed back, and he had to quickly focus on keeping his bnce, but As though to prevent even that, a stake made out of ice was shot at Namgung Hyuk like a cannonball. Bababang! "I''ll assist, too." It was a skill activated by Oh Choonsuk, with a magic book spread out in one hand. After even blocking the bombardment of ice, Namgung Hyuk gnashed his teeth as though he was displeased and then opened his mouth. "It''s really annoying that the numbers don''t decrease no matter how much I kill." In an instant, Namgung Hyuk''s eyes split open like the eyes of a reptile. And the moment he began to emit out the bloodlust As an unknown chill engulfed my body, I sensed a crisis approaching. Intuition. A conclusion reached only by sheer instinct whispered to me. That a ruler of the blue skies, which no one could handle, had awakened. But "It must be suffocating to keep wearing a mask, so I shall blow you away in advance." Before I could even respond properly to that intuition, Namgung Hyuk moved faster. Just as Namgung Hyuk stretched out his feet, his image appeared in front of Kim Seunghoon''s eyes as if the space was folded. Namgung Hyuk urately struck Kim Seunghoon''s ck mask with his left fist to destroy it. aaaam! Ignoring Kim Seunghoon, who flew to the remains of the building, Namgung Hyuk changed his target immediately. To none other than Katheryn, who was putting restrictions on him. Of course, Oh Choonsuk hastily activated the magic skill and unfolded an ice barrier, but It didn''t work for a person who could blow Kim Seunghoon away even with restrictions. Clink nk! At the same time, as he destroyed the barrier of ice, Namgung Hyuk stretched out his sword as though to kill Oh Choonsuk. But I moved right there, striking away Namgung Hyuk''s sword, and I shot him with a Sword Ki in the form of a sh. ng! "Okay, I might as well take care of you first." Namgung Hyuk easily blocked the Lightning Sword Ki with lightning properties and made a bitter smile. Then he reached out and grabbed the air as if he had grabbed me. "Force duel." And A duel area is formed within a radius of 30m due to the innate ability ''Force Duel''. Entry into the duel area is prohibited except for Challenger Han Sungyeun and Challenger Namgung Hyuk. The duel areasts for 10 minutes and cannot be destroyed. "" Then, the moment when the ''Duel area'' was formed by the curtain of light, only Namgung Hyuk and I were left. "I didn''t want to use it but since I''m also carrying a restriction, let''s just put it as both of us carrying the same restrictions." He muttered so, dissatisfied, and said while looking at me. "I shall teach you that everything you use is nothing more than an imitation of martial arts." It was the beginning of a battle without any escape. Chapter 90: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (5) Chapter 90: Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky (5) I had to recall. A fact that I had forgotten for a moment. That every challenger awakens an innate ability upon entering the Tower. Therefore, challengers who were just ordinary people had an innate ability, and Baek Sunhak from the Murim dimension also had an innate ability. "" It was the same with Namgung Hyuk, too. -A duel area is formed within a radius of 30 m due to the innate ability ''Force Duel'' Recalling the message that had just appeared, I soon looked around. And I feigned a smile at the semicircr light barrier around 30 meters tall. "What kind of ridiculous innate ability is this" Perhaps the barrier of lightpletely cut off the space between the outside and the inside of the duel arena? Katheryn was yelling something from outside, but I couldn''t hear anything. I turned my head to look at Namgung Hyuk, who still had mes wrapped around his upper body. And he looked at me while smirking and then soon said. "Although I didn''t want to rely on this kind of skill I had no other choice." "Let''s be honest. You just wanted to kill me one-on-one because you thought you couldn''t handle everything." I didn''t need to provoke as much as a while ago, so I toned down my sarcasm. However, Namgung Hyuk frowned as if even that bothered him greatly. "How vulgar. It seems like youck a sense of pride." Do all challengers from the Murim dimension have at least one wrong thing in their heads? I scoffed at Namgung Hyuk as I felt the irritation I once felt with Baek Sunhak. "I don''t think you have anything like that, either." "" "If you had such a thing as pride, you wouldn''t have destroyed the city looking for me." "Be quiet. How dare a bastard like you who steals others'' swords dares to speak o" At that moment, I immediately activated the Lightning Sword Ki and fired a sh at Namgung Hyuk. I was nning to start by at least sessfully striking him once while he was heating up with the conversation, but ng! "It''s no use." Namgung Hyuk effortlessly blocked that Sword Ki and even fired a sh at me in return. aaang! I canceled out the sh by making a huge swing with my sword and then gave it a tight grip to suppress my hand trembling from recoil. ''To think that he''s this much even if some of his skills are sealed off because of the suppression of fire'' Even until now, seeing Namgung Hyuk''s upper body engulfed in fire, the Suppression of Fire must be activated. But Namgung Hyuk''s power was stronger than I thought. He was holding on firmly even though he was restricted. I''ve realized since the moment he blew Kim Seunghoon into the remains of a building in a state of being cast with suppression of fire. But Namgung Hyuk is still a difficult opponent for me, even though he''s not in the best condition right now. "Do you think you''ll be able to fully handle Sword Ki when you don''t even know what real martial art is?" However "False Sword Ki won''t be able to catch up with the true Sword Ki." I didn''t get discouraged by that and immediately drew the mana from my body. Activating the skill Instant eleration. While maximizing the effect of Instant eleration by using the mana to the limit. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 80%. Number of stacks - 7/7 I also activated the Wind''s Blessing, and I immediately ran out, kicking off the ground. Due to the effect of Boots of Swiftness (C+), the instantaneous speed increases. Paaang! I had to admit it. I couldn''t fold space and run like Namgung Hyuk, and I didn''t have many great skills, either. However, the essence of this fight is to endure until the moment when Namgung Hyuk''s [Force Duel] is lifted. There''s no reason to surpass Namgung Hyuk at this moment. As I ran while ripping through the air, I dashed to a shadowed space made from the leaned building. Then Skill ''ndestine Shadow''s step(C+) has been activated. You''re moving while stepping on the shadowed space. The user''s movement speed is increased by +30% One of the abilities of ndestine Shadow''s Step (C+) was immediately activated. The ability to increase the movement speed when walking in dark ces with the efficient restructuring of the walking method. Allowed me to catch up with Namgung Hyuk''s movements through synergy with other skills. I ran towards Namgung Hyuk at a speed that could only be called transcendental. "It seems you have some cards up your sleeve, but" But before I could even realize it, Namgung Hyuk kicked off the ground, leaving a blurry image, and appeared where I was. In the form of throwing a sh right in front of me, expressionlessly. Kakang! "If all you''re doing is trying to imitate a martial art, you''ll soon die." Namgung Hyuk seemed to be telling me this. That the hell-like 10-minute duel had just begun. *** *** Witchcraft. An ability that relies on external factors rather than the ability to perform with one''s discretion. Originally, Namgung Hyuk encountered this kind of special ability quite a few times in Murim. Most of them were just the inferior abilities of the martial arts, and there were hardly any such great witchcraft. Therefore Namgung Hyuk obviously thought that witchcraft was weaker than martial arts. It was understandable. -It''s not even an ability you could use on your own. There''s no way an ability relying on external factors could be stronger than martial arts. As his grandfather, the sword master, said, martial arts is the only path to transcendence. By controlling the Ki of the invisible world, gradually twisting thews of reality, and eventually bing a transcendental person. That was a martial art. There was no way that the kind of ability that wouldn''t endure such a process, and supplemented it from an external source, could be anything good. However, Namgung Hyuk had doubts about its existence after being selected for the Tower and learning a skill for the first time. -It''s an ability that you can''t implement on your own, but you can activate it? Initially, abilities that depended on external factors were mostly poor or high cost. However, a skill had no such thing, and it was easily activated when the user wanted to use it. Namgung Hyuk was confused by the abilities that denied everything he had built up so far. And while learning the transcendent ability called a skill, Namgung Hyuk came to a realization. There''s no self-development in just acquiring and using the skills. -So it''s just an ability bestowed by a transcendent being called the Tower Namgung Hyuk realized that it could be used even if it''s impossible to implement on your own. That this was just an ability bestowed by the Tower, and that it was just a fake that''s different from the real martial arts. Skills weren''t activated by self-controlling the Ki, but were forcibly activated by the system of something iprehensible. Namgung Hyuk, realizing that, scoffed at everyone who used skills. -What''s the value of those who depend on fakes that can''t match the real ones? A fake. It was a fake that didn''t have the strength to do anything of its own will. It may look like it could be strong on its own like a martial art, but in reality, it''s just like offering a handle of an invisible leash to the Tower. Therefore, Namgung Hyuk considered skills as witchcraft that are inferior to martial art and an ability that has no possibility of development. What goes up even if you use a skill is an imaginary number called proficiency, and what changes even if the rank goes up is only the content of the ability. So he thought that skills were fake and martial arts were real. "" Until he saw Han Sungyeun right in front of him. Activating the skill Ashen Blood. All pain inflicted on the user is reduced by 31%. The man in front of him, whose whole body was full of shes, was different from the others. He wasn''t still at a level where he could just conclude that something was different, but ''His eyes are different.'' Even though he was driven to the brink of death, Han Sungyeun shone his eyes even more. As if there was still a chance for him to turn the tables in this hell-like situation. Of course, in reality, almost one-sided violence continued, so Namgung Hyuk also thought it was just his imagination. There was nothing special about this man, and he just came this far by relying on fake powers like traits and skills. But that wasn''t it. ''Why? Why is he not dying?'' He suffered several fatal wounds, and he should''ve lost his will a long time ago. But Han Sungyeun was struggling to react to Namgung Hyuk''s Sword. As Namgung Hyuk felt annoyed about this, he further maximized his swordsmanship and fired an attack from a blind spot where Han Sungyeun could never react to it. Skills are mostly just inferior abilities of martial arts. Namgung Hyuk tried to overwhelm Han Sungyeun with his swordsmanship under such an extremely Murim-like mindset. In order to drive Han Sungyeun to the point where he wouldn''t be able to recover, even with witchcraft, using an attack that he wouldn''t be able to see. Then something surprising happened. aang! "!?" Han Sungyeun easily blocked the Sword Ki that flew from the blind spot instantaneously. Namgung Hyuk immediately realized how he did it. Activating the skill Minds Eye. Han Sungyeun had a skill that could be used in this situation. ''This is ridiculous'' But what was even more ridiculous was Han Sungyeun, who blocked the Sword Ki flying from the blind spot. He immediately blocked the Sword Ki and fluttered as if he was lost, and he slowly closed his eyes. Namgung Hyuk realized it was an opportunity and collided with Han Sungyeun while scattering around his Sword Ki. As Namgung Hyuk felt it, Han Sungyeun, with his eyes closed, was driven toward death with more wounds than before. Until then, Namgung Hyuk thought Han Sungyeun had made a foolish choice because he relied on his skills. But starting from some point, things suddenly started to change. "?" Before he knew it, Han Sungyeun blocked Namgung Hyuk''s sword as if he could read it while closing his eyes. And as time passed, his movements were unrestrained, as if he had attained enlightenment, moving like he was dancing. Even more serious changes urred around the time when Namgung Hyuk began to feel impatient. Pssshk! In an instant, Han Sungyeun''s sword bent and made a piercing wound on Namgung Hyuk''s arm. This wasn''t only rted to skill but clearly an improvement in skill as well. ''How can an imitation of martial arts do up to this extent?'' With Namgung Hyuk''smon sense, he couldn''t ept the current situation. As to why this man could endure his sword and his movements were getting better while getting wounded. As to why this man could grow so fast while relying on the witchcraft called skills. As to why this man could match a real power with his fake power. None of these were things that Namgung Hyuk could ept. Because this wasn''t a skill but closer to the realm of martial arts. Enlightenment. Han Sungyeun has reached the realm of some kind of growth eleration experienced only by those who have reached the realm of martial arts. And "" Namgung Hyuk recognized Han Sungyeun, who was making an arc with the corners of his mouth. This man wasn''t just someone who depended on fake things, but he turned fake things into real ones. A ghost de. *** The world was dark. As though walking on the road in a hazy state, my body was heavy, and my sense of bnce was breaking down. It was natural. Not only did I consume a lot of stamina with the Ashen Blood skill, but I also pushed my mana to the limit. Moreover, I had to keep my eyes closed to activate the Mind''s Eye skill, causing more dizziness. But there was nothing I could do. The Mind''s Eye, which allowed me to perceive attacks flying from out of sight, could perceive all directions if I closed my eyes. I couldn''t survive without relying on my Mind''s Eye skill. I didn''t know that just 10 minutes could be this painful. But If you were to ask me if this time was just all about pain for me, it wasn''t. You''ve realized what the true Mind''s Eye is. Skill ''Mind''s eye(D-)'' ranked up to B. Was it because I was closing my eyes to block Namgung Hyuk''s bizarre swordsmanship? At some point, I could use the Mind''s Eye skill as though I really had a third eye. The ability allowed me to recognize attacks from invisible areas. Now I could see the barrier of light within thirty meters and the remains of buildings scattered in it. That wasn''t the end of it. You purely relied on your senses to fight for your life. Skill ''Sixth Sense (C+)'' ranked up to B. As the Sixth Sense skill that I had almost forgotten existed ranked up, the senses became clearer. In the decisive battle with the one who has mastered the Sword, you seeded in enduring their sword without dying. Skill ''Demon yer (C)'' ranked up to B. And my swordsmanship, which I thought felt shabby, grew unbelievably in a short period. Your body has experienced regeneration beyond its limits through numerous crises in a short period. Skill ''Ashen Blood (B-) ranked up to B+. While sensing that most of the skills I mainly use had grown, I opened my eyes. "" And soon, I could see Namgung Hyuk staring at me while quietly holding his curved Sword with both hands. ''What?'' I wasn''t sure how much time was left for the duel, but I was certain that it''d be over soon. But Namgung Hyuk didn''t use his sword anymore. He just looked at me while holding his sword with both hands. It was then that I narrowed my eyes as I tensed up. "Do you think you can surpass martial arts when you''re just borrowing the power from the Tower?" Namgung Hyuk said so all of a sudden and then raised his sword upwards. I was startled when I saw Namgung Hyuk, who was calm although he was in a situation where he should be impatient. It was understandable. Unlike a while ago, Namgung Hyuk''s eyes didn''t see me as a simple opponent to get rid of. A whole different level of hostility was revealed in his eyes than when he was talking about vulgarity or such. "Your tenacious will, and even that borrowed ability that''s nothing more than a fake, I''ll put an end to it right here." And Soon, I could see why Namgung Hyuk was able to dere an end to me so calmly. Before I knew it, the fire that covered Namgung Hyuk''s upper body visibly decreased. What that meant was simple. ''The duration of the Suppression of Fire is about to end!?'' But even before I, in shock, could prepare myself. "This is the true Sword Ki that can''t be caught up with fake Sword Ki, and" The fire on Namgung Hyuk''s upper body waspletely extinguished. And "This is the realm beyond Sword Ki, Sword me." The Sword me, which surpassed the Sword Ki, swept over me. Chapter 91: A longing (1) Chapter 91: A longing (1) Sword me. Namgung Hyuk called the Sword Ki that swayed like heat-haze a Sword me. In addition, he said that it''s a level beyond Sword Ki and a level that can''t be reached with fake Sword Ki. I wondered what would be so different just because the sword fluttered like me, but It was only after I blocked Namgung Hyuk''s curved sword with my Sword Ki that I realized the true meaning of it. aaaang! A level that couldn''t be achieved with Sword Ki had no other meaning. ''My Sword Ki is being eaten up!?'' Like a predator, the Sword me began to greedily eat the Sword Ki I formed. The Sword me was overwhelming the Sword Ki, not because the Sword Ki''s power is weak, but rather, it was like it had met an enemy you can''t ever beat in terms ofpatibility. Just by letting the des touch each other, using the Sword Ki became meaningless. A deciding move. In an instant, I realized that this Sword me is a technique that exists to break the Sword Ki. And to me, who can only use the Sword Ki, it''s like a natural enemy. "I shall end you along with your fake Sword Ki." Namgung Hyuk coldly announced the end andpletely destroyed my Sword Ki. nk! As though a ss window was broken, the Sword Ki shattered, and Namgung Hyuk swung his curved sword with the force to cut even the sword I was holding. But Blood Ki is being infused on the de due to the unique effect of the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword. To talk about the result, Namgung Hyuk''s curved sword that was swung in an instant couldn''t cut the sword I was holding. It was because reddish energy lingered on it at the same time the Sword Ki disappeared from the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword in my hand. When used by someone with swordsmanship skill, blood ki flows around the de, and the flow of magical power through the blood sword bes smoother. I didn''t really understand what the Blood Ki flowing around the de meant in the past, but As the Sword Ki coated on the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword disappeared, its true potential was revealed at that moment. Moreover, the Blood Ki lingering on the de was just being slightly pushed back by Namgung Hyuk''s Sword me, but not destroyed. In short, Blood Ki is the kind of ability that can''t be consumed by the Sword me. ''Nice!!'' It was the moment when I was quickly retreating, uttering yells of delight inwardly. The duration of the unique trait ''Force Duel'' has ended. The duel area formed within a radius of 30m will be lifted, and interference from outside is now possible. "I can''t control the firepower. Try your best to avoid it!" At the same time, Katheryn''s voice is heard from outside. A fire was rushing in from the right side. Looking at that, I quickly distanced further from Namgung Hyuk, but "Do you think I''ll fall for this kind of trick again?" Namgung Hyuk, looking at that fire, stopped on the spot, unlike me, and raised his spirit. "Flying Sword of Blue Sky." Namgung Hyuk stated as if he was going to put everything in one sword. For a moment, I thought that Namgung Hyuk had activated skill or power, but soon I changed my mind. How can someone who hates skills or traits proudly utter those words like that? I quickly judged that there was no way that it was a skill or power and stared at him. And soon, Namgung Hyuk whirred up his Sword me to the limit and started swinging his sword as if dancing. Bababababang!! Like the sky that burns in the sunset, the Sword me overwhelms the power of fire. At that moment, I stepped out, anticipating that Namgung Hyuk would run wild if this continued. I had to stop him. I can only survive by thrashing him within an inch of his life while he''s not running wild any further. That idea didn''t leave my head, and I moved my body forcibly. Perhaps I wasn''t the only one who got that strong intuition. Whiiish! Kim Seunghoon, who came out of the remains of the building, dashed towards Namgung Hyuk frantically with a hammer in his hand. He must''ve thought he couldn''t just sit by idly when the skill seal and the stat debuff on him were taken off. Namgung Hyuk was still using the Sword me to erase the fire, so there was a chance. Shiiiiiiing! Under that one thought, I shot Namgung Hyuk with my Lightning Sword Ki thoughtlessly at my maximum output. However "Rolling Sword of Blue Sky." The moment Namgung Hyuk, who erased all the Fire before anyone knew it, uttered so and rotated. Craaaaaaaaaaaaaash! Not only the sh of the Lightning Sword Ki, but the Sword me that cuts out everything around it rushed in like a storm. *** *** Horizon. The scene that can only be said as such unfolded before my eyes. Activating the skill Ashen Blood. All pain inflicted on the user is reduced by 60% "" After my left arm blew up and my right eye was wholly blinded, I looked at the newly-made horizon. It was a horizon created by the gorgeous Shinjuku''s disappearance as the whole area''s buildings were destroyed. I felt dispirited by the fact that this scene was created by only one man. In fact, Namgung Hyuk was a monster who was far beyond my powers. The Flying Sword of Blue Sky and Rolling Sword of Blue Sky weren''t even skills or powers, but purely his technique. Nevertheless, I couldn''t stop Namgung Hyuk and was barely holding onto my life. "" The skill Counter Shield was destroyed, and the release of the umted damage became impossible. The only reason why I was alive was thanks to the Counter Shield and the Ashen Blood. I instantly took stock and blocked the Sword sh by wrapping around everyone with Counter Shield, putting myself in the center. ''No, I can''t say I blocked it properly looking at this.'' All I did was cancel out a single attack by exhausting all my mana. I couldn''t even utilize the true effect of the Counter Shield, which was the reflection of the umted damage. Perhaps I couldn''t even cancel the attack out properly. The result was horrible. Kim Seunghoon, who had just escaped the remains of the building, was rammed into a building again, and Katheryn and Oh Choonsuk were knocked out from only the shockwave that passed through the shield. "Shit" It was aplete defeat. On the other hand, Namgung Hyuk''s condition, which caused this devastation, didn''t look as severe as mine. Although he was gasping for breath and the hands holding the curved sword were trembling, perhaps his stamina was running low, but He wasn''t on a level like me, where some body parts werepletely damaged. Of course, I was also recovering my body through the Ashen Blood, but there was no way that it could recover properly. Maybe my body wasn''t regenerating well because all my stamina was depleted. However, Namgung Hyuk seemed to have no Ki left too, so the situation was somewhat simr for now. I lost my left arm and right eye, but Namgung Hyuk was in a state where it was hard to even hold his sword. I thought to myself that it was one hell of a time and soon tightened the grip on the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword in my right hand. As I tightly grabbed the handle of the sword, red energy flew on the de immediately. Of course, it''s weaker than when the Blood Ki was greatly activated by flowing in the mana, but ''Even if I can''t win, I guess I can inflict some fatal wounds together.'' At least the minimum amount of means to fight with Namgung Hyuk was prepared. If Namgung Hyuk rushes in to fight more, I''ll fight at the risk of my life. That was the conclusion I made. It was at that moment when I was trying to fight again, as I pointed my Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword at Namgung Hyuk "Looks like it''s not yet the time to settle our fight yet." Namgung Hyuk silently narrowed his eyes and forced himself to say it in a strained voice. "This time, I''ll admit my defeat. But next time, it''ll be different." I frowned, as it was hard to understand the words that Namgung Hyuk spit out, but I could read his true intention as he took out a blue stone from the burnt, blue martial arts uniform. "Interdimensional movement" "Will you stop me?" "" "If so, one of us will die here." He was right. Even though Namgung Hyuk was tired, I lost my left arm and blinded my right eye. I lost my sense of bnce from theck of my left arm, and my sense of distance would''vepletely disappeared since one eye went blind. ''I''ll die.'' Neither of us would get each other killed easily, but if we shed properly, I couldn''t guarantee my life. Well, Namgung Hyuk wouldn''t be able to guarantee his life too, but I didn''t want to gamble. "Today, I''ll admit my defeat and withdraw, but you and I will face each other again." Namgung Hyuk barely kept his footing while staggering; he grabbed the blue-colored stone tightly, and Whirrrr! "Farewell, Ghost de." Namgung Hyuk disappeared by stepping into the blue portal that appeared behind him. "" It was only after seeing the portal closing like a light turning off that I turned my eyes away. The buildings of Shinjuku were all cut into half with the sword of Namgung Hyuk. "Admit defeat, my ass this is no different from my defeat at this point." I couldn''t protect anything. Like how I lost my parents with the group of monsters pouring out from the dungeon break seven years ago. This time too, I said I''d defend the Shinjuku by killing Namgung Hyuk, but What I achieved was barely sending Namgung Hyuk back to his original ce. To that fact, I felt a pain rising up as if my heart was being twisted. But Before I could even feel the heartache, the aftermath of the battle came up all over my body. The absence of my left arm, loss of eyesight in my right eye, and other small and big injuries slowly lowered my consciousness. Thud. "" I fell to the ground and closed my eyes without any resistance. *** "You finally woke up." After opening my eyes, I saw the face of Katheryn, a beauty with red hair. She had a surprised face, as though a terminal patient had woken up miraculously. ''No, I must''ve been a severe patient.'' Since my left arm blew up to the shoulder, and my right eye went blind Realizing that, I moved the exhausted body immediately to energize my senses. Then, I could feel the senses of my fingers on the left side and my arm. In addition, the right eye, which was blinded, was recovered to the point where it was possible to distinguish things properly. ''Looks like the Ashen Blood did activate properly.'' As a matter of fact, the rank of Ashen Blood skill, which had a solid regeneration ability, went up in this battle. There was no way that a skill that originally could regenerate a damaged body couldn''t fix this much of the damage. Feeling a sense of relief at that fact, when I slowly rolled my eyes to look around, Katheryn opened her mouth. "We''re in a hospital near Tokyo." "Don''t you have to get treated, Katheryn?" "Are you saying that knowing what happened to you?" "" "Your left arm entirely blew up, and your right eye went blind." "I know ." It was a problem that I didn''t really mind since it would be recovered by the Ashen Blood skill. But perhaps it wasn''t for Katheryn. She continued her words while tearing up. "We were all safe thanks to you blocking it with the shield, but you''re the only one in this shape." "" "Honestly, I would''ve died if it weren''t for you. I''m grateful for that." "Ah, yes" "But you need to learn how to take care of yourself. If you keep fighting like that, It wouldn''t be enough even if you had multiple lives. "" At her words mixed with emotions, I stared at her for a while and nodded my head. "I''ll keep that in mind." I smiled bitterly at the advice given purely from someone''s favor after a long time. Only then she realized that she was getting emotional. She blushed and cleared her throat. "Anyways, the doctor said you need to take a rest, so please focus on recovering. You are, no, only you deserve to do so." With that word as an end, Katheryn took out three small potions from her pocket and handed them to me. "It''s the skill proficiency potion that the Japanese Hunter Association promised as a reward." It was a reward that anyone would have to covet, increasing a skill''s proficiency by 10%. "But why are there three?" "One is yours that was promised to be given to you by default, one is my share of the reward, and one is the potion I originally had." "What?" "It''s heavy, so please take it already. To be honest, if I don''t do this at least, I''d be ashamed to see the face of my savior." "" Honestly, I wondered what was left for her if she did this much for me, but Seeing her blushing up to the tips of her ears, it was awkward to refuse it, so I soon epted the three bottles of skill proficiency potion. "Thank you." Then Katheryn stood up as if she had finished her job. "Then I''ll be going. See you soon." With those words as thest, she quickly left the hospital room, and I put three potions in my hand on the table and raised my upper body. "Urk" I''m sure the injuries were all recovered, but should I say it felt like my whole body was somewhat sore? I could understand why the doctor said that I needed a rest. I walked to the room''s window with the slippers that looked like they were given by the hospital. Creaak. "Pheww." I felt the cold winter air flowing in from outside as I opened the window. But contrary to the cold wind, the beating of my heart became hotter. I could figure out right away what this feeling was. A longing. Currently, I was frustrated that I couldn''t beat Namgung Hyuk and wanted a stronger power. The heat of my body wouldn''t subside, as if a fuse that couldn''t be stopped was set on fire. My heartbeat changed repeatedly, as though the different emotions crossed. It beat as if I wanted to go through the intense growth that I achieved in the battle with Namgung Hyuk. It beat from the guilt that I couldn''t protect anything this time too, just like how I lost everything seven years ago. It beat purely from the desire to grow to reach the state of Sword me that Namgung Hyuk reached. My heart has been beating excessively, but I just looked out the window to soothe its heat. It''s not Spring yet, but like this Winter in Tokyo, which will soon pass Soon the time wille when I''ll be able to quench the thirst of this longing. It was time to prepare for growth by using this longing as fuel. Chapter 92: A longing (2) Chapter 92: A longing (2) Two days had passed since I was admitted to the hospital. I was told to take an absolute rest, as I had prevented the incident that caused a stir, not only in Japan but also around the world, but I couldn''t do so. Politicians, including the Japanese prime minister, visited me to say thanks in the hospital, which was understandable. However The real problem was the phone calls ringing on the smartphone and journalists rushing to the hospital ever since. My smartphone buzzed non-stop as people I didn''t even know contacted me repeatedly. The journalists who set up a camp outside were gathering near the window to take a picture of me at least once and pointed their cameras as though they were stalking me. Of course, I immediately covered the window with a curtain to avoid getting pictured, but "I can''t even head out of the hospital like this" Should I say that the merit of resting in the hospital had disappeared? I put on slippers and dragged my feet to the rooftop of the hospital, under the radar. Since I was always in the hospital room, I felt suffocated if I didn''t breathe the outside air like this. Perhaps because of the chilly weather, there was no one on the hospital''s rooftop except one patient. But the problem was that the patient was a person that I knew. The man wearing a ck mask and on crutches was a challenger I had seen many times. "Kim Seunghoon-ssi."'' "" "It''s me. Han Sungyeun." "Ah, the Ghost de is here." Kim Seunghoon looked at me and soon said so with a giggle. "Ghost de? Now, what''s that?" "It''s a nickname theyre addressing you as in Korea and Japan these days, but it looks like you don''t seem to know." "Ghost de, This is my first time hearing it." "Well, You probably didn''t have the time to find it out since you were busy with the politicians and the Japanese prime minister paying a visit to you." As though telling me I did well, Kim Seunghoon took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed me a cigarette. "Would you like to have one?" "No, I don''t smoke or drink, you see." In the past, there was a time when I stopped drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes, as well as food that wasn''t good for my body to increase my physical ability. ''Of course, no matter how hard I tried at that time, there was no change in ability in the end, though.'' Because of the habits of those days, I tried not to consume alcohol, cigarettes, or anything else bad for my body. "So you take good care of your body, huh. I wish you could do that in battle, too." "It''s harder than I thought." "No matter how strong the body of a hunter and good regenerative power is, there are limits." "" "No matter what skill you have, if overdoing bes your habit, you''ll eventually die." "You''re saying the same thing as Katheryn." "If you see people overdoing themselves around you, you''ll also end up saying the same thing." I mean, when I was fighting Namgung Hyuk, I felt that I''d die quickly if I overdid it like that. I almost died several times in that one battle, so it must be shocking to others. "Well, seeing that you''re still in good shape, it seems that you barely didn''t cross that one line, though." While saying so, he soon took off the ck mask with one hand and ced it on the railing. There was a crack that looks like a spider''s web on the mask as it received the first strike of Namgung Hyuk directly, but I smirked at Kim Seunghoon''s face, which I saw for the first time. Should I say he looked like a handsome middle-aged man with an impression of cheerfulness? ''I guess I understand why he''s covering his face with a mask.'' To think that he has outstanding looks, as well as the highest level of skill among hunters? He''s getting less attention because he''s covering his face like this, but if he goes around without the mask, it''ll attract the attention of people around him, either good or bad. "Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something wrong?" Of course, Kim Seunghoon didn''t seem to be reading what I was thinking, though. "I was just surprised that you look pretty fine after getting struck in the face by Namgung Hyuk." "Ah, that Although it looks like this, this mask is a good item, you see." "I see." "Of course, it''s almost destroyed, so I think it needs to be repaired, but well. It should be fine. I got quite a few repair items anyway." After finishing his sentence, Kim Seunghoon lit the cigarette in his mouth with a lighter. The movement was awkward as it was quite cumbersome to move with only one hand with crutches on. "You seem to have been quite injured in this battle as well, Kim Seunghoon-ssi." "I can''t help it. Since we had to fight such a monster. Honestly, Namgung Hyuk was on a whole different level from other challengers of the Murim dimension." "" "At least none of the challengers from the Murim dimension I''ve seen could do ridiculous things like Namgung Hyuk." "Definitely." Since I was told that Namgung Hyuk is a challenger who had reached the 20th floor of the Tower and, at the same time, had a far greater strength than the challengers on the 20th floor. Although we couldn''t actually win, sending him back to the Murim dimension was almost like a miracle. As though Kim Seunghoon was vaguely aware of that fact, he had a calm look although we couldn''t take him down. And after standing for a while in silence, Kim Seunghoon put out his cigarette and opened his mouth. "So, what are your ns from now on?" "I wonder. Actually, I don''t really have a clear goal yet." "" "Perhaps I''ll return to the tower soon." "Sounds pretty dull. You don''t n to take a break even a little bit when you''ve just experienced a near-death crisis?" "Well, I''m fine now, after all. By the way, what are your ns from now on, Kim Seunghoon-ssi?" "Unfortunately, we have the same idea. After recovering from my leg injury, I''ll return to the Tower immediately." I giggled and changed the topic. "Do you know anything about Katheryn or Oh Choongsuk-ssi?" At those words, Kim Seunghoon narrowed his eyes and said. "Regarding that woman, I don''t know a single thing since we never really had a proper conversation, and Oh Choonsuk yeah, it seems like he''ll only focus on growth for a while in the dungeon of the guild that I run." The guild he runs? "I mean, you had a guild that you run?" I just thought of Kim Seunghoon as a high-ranked hunter But seeing that he also runs a guild separately, he seemed to be a really high-ranked hunter to run a guild. Then, Kim Seunghoon nodded his head as though he understood my question properly and continued his words. "Ah,e to think of it, I didn''t tell you who I was." Kim Seunghoon introduced himself really casually. "I''m the S-rank hunter in Korea, Lightning King." Soon after hearing his introduction, I couldn''t help but be terribly surprised. *** *** Lightning King. Among the 30 or so S-rank hunters in Korea, that title belonged to a different league. Although he''s a hunter who acted without revealing his identity, the fame of the Lighting King was spread regardless of whether to a hunter or a civilian. It was understandable. Unlike the hunters who only cry for their rights, the Lightning King destroyed the disaster-like gates that appeared by himself. It couldn''t be helped for him to be famous as he destroyed the gates at a speed that even other S-rank hunters couldn''t match, and always kept his identity hidden. Currently, the hunter named Lightning King was no different from a hero of Korea. However ''To think that Kim Seunghoon was the Lightning King.'' Aftering back to the hospital room from the rooftop, I feigned a smile as I looked at the business card in my hand. -You may contact me if anythinges up that you need to get in touch for. The business card I was holding was none other than Lightning King, Kim Seunghoon''s, contact information. -I''ll be honest. You can consider it as a scout. You may contact me for personal matters or something that isn''t. "A scout, huh." As a matter of fact, the guild of the Lightning King was nothing more than an exclusive guildposed of a small number of elites. Enough to call it a guild created solely for Lightning King''s sake to act. It''d most likely be great in many ways if I joined the guild of the Lightning King. But ''I guess I don''t have to decide hastily.'' The contract with White Silver was ongoing, and I wasn''t feeling much dissatisfaction. So I decided to think about this matterter, and I started checking the equipment in the corner of the hospital room. The Japanese Hunter Association immediately repaired the Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat, which was damaged in the fierce battle with Namgung Hyuk. There was almost no damage to the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword to begin with, and I didn''t have much to worry about the rest of the items. The real problem wasn''t the items here but arge number of misceneous items in the studio apartment. "I came here to dispose of all of them, but I guess I have no choice but to return." Currently, I had returned to Earth using the lowest grade return stone. In other words, I''d have to return to the Tower today, which was the third day. Now that there were only a few hours left until my return, I was determined to enjoy the rxation on Earth as much as possible. Ah, of course, there''s also the option of using the return stone right away as soon as I returned to the Tower, but I didn''t want to return to the Earth to the point where I''d purchase the return stone right away. ''Wandering around the dungeon and filling the souls wouldn''t be a bad option.'' However, I currently longed for growth so much that even that time felt like a waste. I knew better than anyone else that the only thing that could satisfy this longing was the Trial of the Tower. And therefore, I thought of returning to the Tower immediately, taking the Trial, and growing through the reward for clearing the Trial. Iid on the hospital bed with all my equipment equipped and turned on my smartphone. I started surfing the web, ignoring my smartphone screen covered with missed calls and unread messages. This was because I was bothered by the fact that Kim Seunghoon told me that Korea and Japan were using the title of Ghost de towards me. And Are all challengers this insanely strong? Soon I could see why Korea and Japan started calling me Ghost de. Scenes of me fighting Namgung Hyuk were all over the inte. Then I thought for a moment if there was anyone who could film this scene, and Soon I found out where the source was, through the captured video or photo angle. ''Ah, it was filmed from the helicopter.'' I figured it out right away when I looked at the angle as though taken by zooming in from above. I was wondering who in the world woulde to the battlefield and shoot that scene. The Japanese Hunter Association published an article along with the filmed content, which seemed to have a huge impact. Most of the articles rted to me had nothing but simr content. Who the hell is this hunter and why is he so good at fighting? The other challengers don''t stand a chance and are knocked out, but he''s the only one who''s fighting well. Hard carried by himself DD: As a matter of fact, isn''t he the only one who settled the case this time? Does anyone know about this hunter named Han Sungyeun? Who the hell is this person? Usually, when a bigshot like him makes a debut, even their debut will be published in an article, but Hunter Han Sungyeun has no record at all. Fuck. Half of the articles were about asking who the hell was Hunter Han Sungyeun and why he''s so good at fighting. When I looked at thements, most of thements were actually the same as the posts. ?I think I know who that person is. There was a yer-only gym called Baekryeon, and he only did training for 7 years. ?Right. Cap. He never went to a dungeon because he was training for 7 years, and never obtained a license with Hunter exam. Is that what you''re trying to say? ?No cap, dude He''s a non-talented yer, and was neglected even in the gym. I heard that he had been training for 7 years, but he couldn''t raise a single stat. ?Does it make sense to you that a talentless bastard who has been training for 7 years and can''t even raise a single stat is nowpeting one-on-one against a monster that can easily slice dozens of buildings? Surprisingly, people on the inte guessed my identity, and my identity was almost revealed, but Most of the reactions from people were about how an ipetent guy who couldn''t raise any of his stats properly couldnt be as strong as me. ''Actually, I''m also surprised that I''ve be this strong.'' I didn''t deny it. He''s indeed a Ghost de judging from the way he fights. He really fights like a ghost. Does an average person think of falling from the sky to ram a target with the risk of being crushed? He''s really damn good at fighting. We gotta admit if he''s called Ghost de, he''s this much for real, Lol Ah, it''s said that they couldn''t film a video around the end of the fight with Namgung Hyuk. That''s the biggest bummer. One hell of a GOAT battle happened in Japan. Why couldn''t they capture it on camera? Looking at the articles written about me, it seems that the Japanese Hunter Association couldn''t leave a video of thetter part of the battle. ''Well, I couldn''t handle it either when Namgung Hyuk went wild after his restrictions were lifted, so'' To be honest, I thought I might die too when he cut down dozens of buildings with one sh. Just by surviving on that battlefield and bringing this video, I felt that the Japanese Hunter Association was quite courageous. "Other than that, I''m well-known to people now." Ghost de, huh I honestly thought it might be a title that challengers from the Murim dimension would use. But soon, I was able to let out a grin as I pondered that title. It wasn''t necessarily a bad feeling, but I felt I wasn''t good enough to use the title of Ghost de. "Shouldn''t I be stronger than this if I''m going to be called a Ghost of the sword?" Therefore Time over. Returning to Tower of Trials. Now was the time for me to be strong to suit the reputation I had built up. Chapter 93: A longing (3) Chapter 93: A longing (3) You have entered the 11th-floor waiting room. I felt a strange sense of coziness and smiled when I finally returned to the waiting room. To think I was more familiar with this waiting room than Earth now I realized that I really had changed a lot every time something like this happened. Of course, aside from that realization, I opened the shop window as soon as I returned to the waiting room. This was because there were a few things I learned from the battle with Namgung Hyuk. Ashen Blood. It''s a regeneration skill with an overwhelming performance among the skills I own, but After a fierce battle with Namgung Hyuk, I realized that this skill also has a limit. That is, unlike the skill of pain resistance, the ability to regenerate doesn''t activate properly when you''re running low on HP. I realized this when I lost my left arm and right eye at the end of the battle. Originally, even if both my legs were crushed, it started the regeneration starting from the bones, butter, my left arm or right eye showed no sign of regeneration at all. ''It probably means that the bigger the injury, the more HP it takes to regenerate." In fact, theck of HP was the main problem of the skill ''elerated Regeneration'', which was the ability before it wasbined into Ashen Blood. And because of that, I''ve been carrying a regeneration potion and replenishing my hp with abilities of Necromancy, but ''Now, even this isn''t enough.'' I was sure that it was time for me to acquire a new serious HP regeneration ability. Some abilities looked quite useful as I explored the skill shop. Skill : Auto HP Regeneration (D-) Price: 15,000 Point Effect: Automatically recovers 0.07% of total HP every 180 seconds. The skill that I had wished for, the skills rted to HP regeneration, stood out. I thought it''d be somewhat okay when I read the description that says it recovers HP automatically, but After thinking about it, even if it recovers based on total HP, not lost health, it''s only about 0.07%, and on top of that, it only regenerates every 180 seconds. ''That''s not going to be enough.'' Considering the HP consumed by Ashen blood, it was clear that it wasn''t a very useful skill. Of course, I had the ability tobine the skills, so I roughlymitted it to my memory and looked at other skills. Skill : Moonlight Absorption (E-) Price: 10,000 Point Effect: When exposed to moonlight, basic HP regeneration is increased by 100% Since it''s stated as basic HP regeneration, there was no possibility that it could be linked to automatic HP regeneration. Automatic HP regeneration is the ability to recover from skills, and the basic HP regeneration would just be the user''s basic HP regeneration ability. Of course, when the ability to maximize the basic HP regeneration appears, its value will increase. Skill: Sunlight Absorption(E-) Price: 10,000 Point Effect: When exposed to sunlight, the basic HP regeneration is increased by 100% This skill was no different from the skill Moonlight Absorption. It''s just that the condition for skill activation changed from moonlight to sunlight. I thought I could counterbnce the skill activation condition to some extent if I had both, but In fact, they were abilities that wouldn''t activate in ces where there''s neither sunlight nor moonlight. Should I say that these had quite a number of ws to utilize both of them? ''That''s iffy.'' When I looked at the skills a bit more, I found two more abilities worth using. Skill: Overgrowth (C-) Price: 20,000 Point Effect: In proportion to the HP stat, all HP regeneration abilities and basic HP are increased by 70%. Skill: Call of Blood (C-) Price: 20,000 Point Effect: When the user absorbs the blood of a creature they killed, the user''s HP and vitality are greatly restored in proportion to the amount of blood absorbed. They were quite expensive skills, but their abilities were pretty useful. "" I stared at the shop window for a while and then came up with the answer. ''Then I can just do this.'' The answer I just came up with was a fairly simple but reasonable choice. It was to purchase all of these skills. There were three main reasons for making such a choice. You''ve purchased Automatic HP Regeneration (D-) 15,000 points deducted. First and foremost, I must purchase Automatic HP Regeneration because it recovers my HP even when idle. You''ve purchased Moonlight Absorption (E-) 10,000 points deducted. You''ve purchased Sunlight Absorption (E-) 10,000 points deducted. Secondly, Moonlight Absorption and Sunlight Absorption were like twins. It''s just that their conditions were different. They''d have goodpatibility when used for skillbination, so it was clear it''d result in a pretty good ability. You''ve purchased Overgrowth(C-) 20,000 points deducted. The third andst remaining reason is though I say it myself but You''ve purchased Call of Blood(C-) 20,000 points deducted. "I really did a great job saving up these points, huh." It was because I had enough points for myself even if I purchased all these skills. That was the biggest reason. *** *** Activating the innate power Skill Combination. Listing the avable skills. Please selectbination material from the skill list. After purchasing all the skills, I immediately activated the skillbination. It''d been a while since I did a skillbination, so I was also quite excited. Should I say I''m excited to see what kind of skill I would acquire in thisbination? I continued and started thebination with a pleasant sense of excitement. The skills that I started with were ''Sunlight Absorption'' and ''Moonlight Absorption''. Both skills only slightly differed in condition, and the skill effect was almost the same. And there was not even the slightest difference in the skill ranks. The two skills are identical in rank. Please select the core skill. Well, because of that, I was confused about which of the two to choose as the core of skillbination, but ''Is there a point in thinking about this?'' As a matter of fact, I thought that no matter which one bes the core, the oue wouldn''t be very different. After pondering for a while, I finally decided to proceed with a skillbination with Sunlight Absorption as the core. Skillbination will start with Sunlight Absorption as the core. Current probability for a high-tier skill is 100% Start the Combination? Maybe because it''s a skill like a twin with almost no difference? "Probability of 100% That''s incredible." I never imagined that the skillbination probability would be 100%. Combinationplete. I proceeded with the skillbination, and the result was revealed. Skill ''Photosynthesis(C-)'' generated. However, contrary to the high-ranked result, the name was quite bizarre. I didn''t know how it turned into Photosynthesis when Sunlight Absorption and Moonlight Absorption werebined. ''Photosynthesis, huh.'' Skill - Photosynthesis (C-) Proficiency - 0% Effect - When exposed to moonlight or sunlight, the basic HP regeneration rate increases by 200%, and mana can be absorbed through the light. "It''s not a bad ability." It felt like it mixed only the strengths of Moonlight Absorption and Sunlight Absorption, plus additional abilities. However, I had no intention of stopping here, so I then activated Skill Combination again. Activating the innate power Skill Combination. I had already thought about which skill tobine in my head. Call of the Blood. I decided tobine Photosynthesis with this skill I just bought from the skill shop. If you asked me why, it''s because the ranks of these two skills became the same. The two skills are identical in rank. Please select the core skill. ''The rank of skills used forbination are identical, so I can decide the core for thebination.'' To be frank, Photosynthesis is a good skill, but it doesn''t suit me. I thought the ability to kill living things and absorb their blood suited me more, like Call of the Blood. And in the end, I narrowed my choice down to maximizing the Call of Blood by using Photosynthesis as a sacrifice. Skillbination will start with Call of the blood as the core. Current probability for a high-tier skill is 70% Start the Combination? Without further ado, I pressed confirm. Combinationplete. And Skill ''Blood-red Contract(C-)'' generated. "" I frowned after looking at the message that popped up. ''It failed.'' The probability of Skill Combination decided whether it''ll result in a higher rank skill or not. However, in thisbination, it didn''t result in a higher rank skill, so it meant that it failed. When I looked at the skill description, the thought that I failed grew bigger. Skill - Blood-red Contract (C-) Proficiency - 0% Effect - Vitality, HP, and mana can be extracted from the blood of living things, and this only applies to living things that the user killed. There was even a phrase saying that mana can now be extracted, but all the advantages of Photosynthesis had disappeared. In a nutshell, this skill is no different from failure. "Well, it doesn''t matter, I guess." However You''ve purchased Call of Blood(C-) 20,000 points deducted. A single failure was just good enough to be used as a stepping stone for sess. After purchasing the same skill from the skill shop, I immediately activated Skill Combination and selected the Blood-red Contract and Call of Blood. The two skills are identical in rank. Please select the core skill. The ability to be the core of skillbination was the Call of the Blood this time again. Skillbination will start with Call of the Blood as the core. Current probability for a high-tier skill is 98% Start the Combination? The probability of skillbination has increased a lot. I was able to realize quickly that the cause was none other than the ''Blood-red Contract''. Due to failing Skill Combination once, it became a slightly better rip-off skill for the Call of Blood. And thanks to that, thepatibility with the current Call of Blood has improved considerably in skillbination. ''That''s a surprise. The failure of Skill Combination can also work well like this, I see.'' This was the first time I failed tobine skills, so I wasn''t feeling very good, but I benefited from it unexpectedly. Combinationplete. And A new skill is being generated! I couldn''t help but open my eyes wide at the system message that appeared. As there''s a proverb that goes failure is but a stepping stone to sess. Skill ''Truth-seeker of Blood(B)'' generated. The Skill Combination that followed after one failure hade up with a really sessful result. Chapter 94: A longing (4) Chapter 94: A longing (4) Skill ''Truth-seeker of Blood(B)'' generated. The rank of the skillpleted through utilizing the failure was considerably higher than I expected. ''Truth-seeker of Blood, huh'' I opened my status window and checked the skill effect right away. Skill - ''Truth-seeker of Blood(B)'' Proficiency - 0% Effect - Vitality, HP, and Mana can be extracted from the blood of living things, and the user will awaken a powerful blood control ability. Additional Effect - All the blood that flows out of the user''s body and is consumed is automatically regenerated little by little at regr intervals. "" The condition where Vitality, HP, and Mana extraction was only possible from a creature I killed had disappeared from the effect. And on top of that ''Blood control ability?'' Just like a vampire, a mysterious ability was also added, so I couldn''t help but look forward to it. And that wasn''t the end of it. The blood regeneration ability added as an additional effect had greatpatibility with items that consume blood to create shields, such as the Vampire Count''s Old Tailcoat. Of course, the usefulness of the regeneration ability could only be judged after I actually felt the efficiency of regeneration ability, though. ''Well, it''s not that bad, I guess.'' Should I say that spending a huge amount of points was somewhat worth it? I immediately disabled the recovery of the waiting room and inflicted a long wound on my left arm with Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword. Activating the skill Ashen Blood. Drip. At the same time, blood poured down from my left arm, and the Ashen Blood healed the wound. Seeing the blood flowing down my left arm, I narrowed my eyes and concentrated my mind. ''Move, move, move'' It was then. "Woah." Slide. In an instant, the blood that had flowed down my left arm began to rise upward as though defying gravity. It didn''t even stop at that level, and blood quickly flowed through my left arm and floated into the air. "" In that state, I got the hang of the ability by controlling the blood that flowed out. And as soon as I formed a sharp de with the blood, I let out augh and convinced myself. "This is truly a powerful ability." What if this ability could affect not only the blood that flows out of my body, but also the blood of other living things? A pleasant chill ran down my spine as I questioned that to myself. It was the ability to extract Vitality, HP, and Mana from the blood of living things and control the blood without having to kill them. ''Well, there must be some restrictions, but there would be no other ability as good as this." Thanks to Necromancy, the battle against numbers that were originally good would now be stronger thanks to the Truth-seeker of Blood. And one-on-one fighting, which can be called my weakness, will be made up with this ability. I realized that the blood restoration ability was quite useful when the battle was a long-term one once I checked it. "It''s simple, but it''s certainly easy to use, thanks to that." Now, I felt like I understood theposition of the Truth-seeker of the Blood, so I turned to another skill. Skill - Overgrowth(C-) Price - 20,000 Point Effect - In proportion to the HP stat, all HP regeneration abilities and basic HP are increased by 70%. It''s a shame that it was a skill with no proficiency, but it''s a skill that can be put into use just fine. ''The fact that it increases your base HP and the HP regeneration ability is quite useful.'' Even more so because the effects were applied in proportion to the HP stats. Of course, there was a chance that I could make a great ability if I kept trying tobine it while bearing the failure, just like the Truth-seeker of the Blood, but ''I can''t afford to spend more points right now.'' Even if I saved enough points to the point where I''d be able to use them abundantly, more than this was impossible. Not unless there was another skill that I couldbine separately. If I randomlybined skills that weren''t even proper, I''d be in trouble. Even more, I had a history of mixing skills randomly and acquiring a skill that was basically pointless. It was then ''Come to think of it, it''s not that I don''t have the skills tobine at all.'' Suddenly, I thought of ''Strengthened Eyes(E-)'', a skill I neglected afterbining. It was a skill with low rank, and the effect wasme, so I didn''t really care about it. However, since then, I''d gathered enough abilities to attempt thebination, such as ''Eye of Truth'' or ''Mind''s Eye''. "Hm" But, to blindlybine the skills, the Eye of Truth and Mind''s Eye were quite valuable. The Mind''s Eye allows the user to perceive everything around the user, and the Eye of Truth allows the user to see through lies and information. ''It''s a gamble.'' I knew it. That this is actually a gamble among gambles that shouldn''t be done. But at the same time, I was well aware of the value of the sess of thisbination. "" As I continued to ponder, I suddenly thought of a great idea. "Shop." As soon as I opened the shop window, I went into the skill shop and browsed through the skills that were being sold. And-. Skill: Mind''s Eye(F) Price: 10,000 Point Effect: Perhaps you might start feeling things that you can''t see.. "I didn''t expect for this to be here." Soon, I was able to find out that the Mind''s Eye was on sale. ''Of course, the rank was lower than I thought, though'' In the battle with Namgung hyuk, I figured out its usage while frantically raising the Proficiency of Mind''s Eye. Even if it was an F- rank skill, I was confident to instantly raise it into a higher-rank skill. Activating the innate power Skill Combination. I immediately selected Mind''s Eye and Strengthened Eyes andbined them. Obviously, Mind''s Eye had a higher skill rank, so the Strengthened Eyes was pushed out of the core of Skill Combination And just like that, the Skill Combination proceeded with Mind''s Eye as the core. Skillbinationplete. Skill ''Mana Eyes(A-)'' generated. The Strengthened Eyes and Mind''s Eye disappeared, and Mana resided in my eyes anew. ''I think I can tell what kind of ability this is without even having to read the skill description.'' Basically, it can be used like Mind''s Eye, but the ability to detect Mana has been drastically improved. Should I say that it has mana detection that''s a few times better than the kind that relies on the mana circuit? Even if I used this as it is, it''s an ability that''s close to the higher tier than the Mind''s Eye skill, but it feltcking by a step. Instinct whispered to me like a demon. That a proper skill would be born only when the Eye of Truth is alsobined. A truly splendid skill, that I wouldn''t be disappointed with. Skill ''Sixth Sense'' is strongly activated. As if to support that thought, a phrase that even the Sixth Sense was activated popped up. Then I activated the Skill Combination, and soon the skill wasbined. Skillbinationplete. And A new skill is being generated. As if that intuition wasn''t wrong, the skill generated afterward was a result beyond my imagination. *** *** Soon, I opened my eyes wide as I saw the system message that appeared in front of me. Skill ''Fire Dragon''s Eyes(A+)'' generated. Fire Dragon''s Eyes. The grand name was one thing; its rank was quite high. Its rank could be one of the highest among my current skills. ''To think everything worked out well like this.'' I was able to reach this point thanks to not failing a single Skill Combination. Skill - Fire Dragon''s Eyes(A+) Proficiency - 0% Effect - The power of Fire Dragon dwells in the eyes, allowing the user to see the things that they normally can''t see. Detailed Effect - Through the Dragon''s Eyes, you can see the information of things, and it bes possible to determine whether your opponent is lying or not. There were no ws in the skill effects, and only the strengths were kept intact. I suppose the only definition that changed is that the power of the Fire Dragon dwells in the eyes. ''The power of Fire Dragon, huh.'' It was amazing in many ways, but it was difficult to tell the difference only with the changed definition. ''Still, some things must have changed or improved.'' Since the rank had risen this much, it must be so. Whatever it may be, there must be some strengths, so I immediately activated the Fire Dragon''s Eyes. Activating the skill Fire Dragon''s Eyes(A+) It was none other than to confirm the ability inherited from the Eye of Truth to grasp the information of things. There may be some changes in this ability or such, so I nned to check it out carefully. And "What in the world is this?" Soon I was able to understand the true meaning of the sentence of Fire Dragon''s Eyes that said, ''Allowing the users to see the things they normally can''t see.'' Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword From an item that was stolen from Kim Seungjun before and had now be my favorite sword. When a user who has reached the level of Sword me activates the exclusive effect, Blood Ki, to the maximum, the true ability will be unlocked. A phrase that I had never seen before was revealed. "..." It was an ability that was practically useless other than by directly checking the item, but Now, not only could itpletely check the item performance, but it could also check the new phrases. ''What the'' I was dumbfounded. I thought it''d have been slightly enhanced bybining the Mind''s Eye and Eye of Truth. But I didn''t expect it to evolve into such a useful skill. And when I opened the item description window directly, not from the skill, it became clearer. ''The phrase that can be seen through the Fire Dragon''s Eyes doesn''t appear in the item description window.'' Realizing that fact, I then checked all the other items as well. The Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat The hidden phrases were everywhere. ...When the user consumes blood to form a shield, additional toughness is added to the shield. There were misceneous facts that I didn''t know well at first. Boots of Swiftness And new phrases were discovered in items I didn''t care much about. ...When the user applies Mana on the boots, the duration of Instantaneous eleration is slightly increased. It was also content that would be helpful even a little when used in battle. Well, other items didn''t really disy any special phrase, and it wasn''t at the level that it''d be helpful in battle. But even so, it was by no means negligible. "..." After looking through this and that, I soon realized one thing. This Fire Dragon''s Eyes was much better than I thought, and its true value hadn''t yet been fully revealed. The Eye of Truth skill, which wasn''t even used properly, was inherited and strengthened to this point. How strong would Mind''s Eyes'' inherited abilities have be if I directly checked it in battle? Reaching that point, I couldn''t help but raise the corners of my lips even if I tried not to. In the end, instead of thinking about it, I immediately activated themand. Will you attempt the trial of the 11th floor? Without considering any other options, I clicked ept to that question. And soon, I entered the portal that appeared in the center of the waiting room. Entering Tower of Trials floor 11. Difficulty - Hard The objective of the following trial is ''Proving of the spirit. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. The two new skills that have appeared, Truth-seeker of Blood and the Fire Dragon''s Eyes. I''ll soon be able to see their true value even if I don''t want to know it. Chapter 95: Proving (1) Chapter 95: Proving (1) The 11th floor trial is starting. Remaining time - 7 days Trial sess condition - Break through the seventh hurdle within the remaining time. Trial fail condition - Challengers death or depletion of remaining time. Trial sess reward - A Worn Out Mirror of Proving(S-) Trial fail penalty - Death "..." As the trial began, I narrowed my eyes and looked around. I was now in a spacious, square-shaped room with nothing inside. It was a space simr to the waiting room, but the difference was that the waiting room was always alone, but there was another person here as well. On top of that, it was a middle-aged priest. ''To think that there''s a person'' Clearly, the Tower of Trials informed me through a message that this wasn''t abined trial. It was then that I circted my mana to my whole body, thinking if a challenger from another world had appeared again. "Wee to the Temple of Proof." The middle-aged priest suddenly spoke his words. "Temple of Proof?" "You''ll go through trials led by the God of Proof, which will continue until you die from now on." "I''ll not hearints from you. Since you came this far on your own. You agreed that you''d be tested by the Gods even if you''re nothing but an adventurer, so you''ll have to fully bear the consequences." "Ah" Looks like there was a behind story on this 11th-floor stage. An adventurer entered the temple of proof, thinking he''d receive the Trial by God without knowing his ce. And because of that, he had to break through the seven hurdles and clear the Trial of God. That was the situation I was in. ''It wouldn''t be Murim or Earth. It should be a story from another dimension.'' It must be so since there are many interesting fantasy worlds, such as Callian or Ares. Now that I knew what the story was, there was nothing more that I had to understand. "So, how do I get through the first hurdle?" "Do you not even know thew of trials led by the seven gods of Ares?" "" "Not all adventurers would be ignorant, but you do seem like one." "You''re right." The middle-aged priest made sarcastic remarks at me as though he was dumbfounded, but Aside from his confusion, I was neither a challenger from Ares nor an adventurer who actually came to this temple where this story has happened. Therefore, of course, there was no way that I''d hesitate to ask questions. ''Other than that, so this is the Ares dimension, huh.'' I remembered the challenger from another world I met while climbing the tower. That damned ck knight who appeared on the 5th floor and almost drove me to death shed through my head. I heard that most of Ares'' challengers value chivalry and areposed of a unified nation. Aside from that characteristic, I was currently doing a trial that had nothing to do with knights. "I guess I can''t help it. Let me exin." While thinking about this and that, the middle-aged priest started his exnation. "The trials conducted in the Temple of Proof are simple." I immediately pushed aside my thoughts and focused on the middle-aged priest''s words. "Proof of the body, proof of the belief, proof of the spirit." "..." "It starts with proof of the body and eventually goes to the most difficult one, proof of the spirit." "I see." "Breaking through the hurdle is simple. There''ll be a high priest in each of the trial rooms, so do whatever it takes, either persuade them or kill them and move on to the next room." "But that wouldn''t make it a trial." It''s no different from me having to move on to the next room at will. But then I wondered if that does anything or even counted as passing through the hurdle, but. "How could an ignorant person like you understand the will of God?" "Proving literally means proving. Each path you choose is proof." "In a nutshell, it doesn''t matter what I do or how I break through the hurdle." "Well, something like that. So, stop asking silly questions ande at me." I paused for a moment at what the middle-aged priest said while taking a stance of Kenp. But soon, I looked into the eyes of the middle-aged priest and understood the true meaning. "" He said it''s a proving of the body But to think that it''s this kind of proving. "The first hurdle begins now." He talked as if telling me toe at him if I had the courage to do so, but When I actually heard that, I couldn''t help but smile in a sardonic way. I fought with a knight of Ares and with the elders of Murim. I repeatedly fought until I almost died. And what he presents as proof of the body is just a battle with a priest? "Then here I go." At this point, it was no different from an easy difficulty rather than a hard difficulty. *** *** Unexpectedly, the middle-aged priest wasn''t weak he was quite strong. Should I say that he''s as strong as the challengers in the earth dimension who achieved the qualification as a pioneer in the hard difficulty? I never imagined that a priest who served God would be such a strong master of a Kenp. But what''s unexpected remains unexpected, and a trial is a trial. Bang! While dodging the Kenp of the middle-aged priest as if observing him, I immediately kicked him and rammed him into the wall. "Kuhugh!" The middle-aged priest vomited blood as he mmed into the wall, then fell to the floor. Looking at him wriggling intermittently, it seemed that he still had consciousness, but I thought that the battle would be practically impossible now. "Thank you for the exnation." I finally thanked the middle-aged priest and thrust the sword into his body. You have absorbed the soul of the priest ''Johann''. Proficiency increased by 5.8% Because he was a stronger opponent than I expected, the proficiency I gained was pretty sweet. ''If the proficiency increases like this two more times, the rank of Necromancy would go up too.'' It was then that I felt somewhat satisfied inside. Administrator Priest of Seven Gods is appalled by your shocking behavior that they happened toe upon. Such a message came up, conveying someone''s shocked feelings towards me. That wasn''t the end of it. Administrator God-ying Swordsman nods at your cold-blooded action. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World looks at you and praises you for being a pretty interesting fellow. Administrator Seeker of Divinity tells you not to worry, as you are proceeding with proving yourself properly. Out of nowhere, some administrators even sent me a message to express their feelings. Never before had this many administrators tagged along with me, even in the public area. It was refreshing to see so many administrators sending messages to me. Judging by the names of the administrators, it seems that they were interested because the trial I''m undergoing has something to do with ''God'', or because it''s rted to someone from Ares dimension. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is perplexed to see you undergoing trials without any warning. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint feels disappointed as you entered the trial without saying anything. After some time passed, the two managers who had made a contract with me also arrived quickly, probably through word of mouth. They seemed to be bummed that they couldn''t spectate right away as I entered the trial immediately without saying a thing, mentioning things like they were perplexed or disappointed, but ''I can''t help it since I don''t have any means to contact the administrators.'' I smiled bitterly at that and searched the belongings of the middle-aged priest, Johann. Administrator Priest of Seven Gods is watching your actions without saying a word. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World admires your greed. Administrator God-ying Swordsman nods as though they understand all of your actions. Perhaps it felt quite greedy. It evoked messages from administrators. Of course, I didn''t care whether it did feel greedy or not and took out the small mirror from Johann''s body. I could feel unknown energy from the small mirror, the only thing he had on him. ''It''s an item.'' And. Activating the skill Fire Dragon''s Eyes. I immediately used Fire Dragon''s Eyes to inspect what kind of item this small mirror was. Mirror with the Divinity of the High Priest Rank: C+ The mirror that high priest ''Johann'' ced his divine power without missing a single day. You can spread a divine shield only once by consuming the divine power towards the God of Proof. When you spread the divine shield, mind contamination is also restored to some extent. After that, there was a phrase revealed through the Fire Dragon''s Eyes. ...Perhaps the divine power of the God of Proof filled in the mirror may lead the bearer to prove their fate by themselves. It was none other than just a single-use shield item. ''I didn''t understand what the phrase meant that says the bearer to prove their fate by themselves, too.'' It''s not like it can certainly allow me to prove my fate. It''s uncertain. The existence of its hidden phrase didn''t make any difference, so I got up from my seat after putting away the mirror filled with the divinity. ''I wish there were more proofs of the body.'' While thinking nonsense, I opened the door and walked to the second hurdle. A second hurdle appeared when I opened the door at the end of the narrow hallway that only one person could barely walk through. It was still a square-shaped room, but there was no dryness, nothing like the previous room. The space where the second hurdle existed was a room with a bizarre sight a broken mirror was attached to the wall. ''I wonder what in the world the God of Proof is to have this many mirrors.'' It was then "...To think that a nameless adventurer from outside would reach up to here." At the second hurdle, the blonde beauty sitting quietly in the middle of the room opened her eyes and muttered so. "It seems that Johann is no longer able to be in service." "Are you the priest of the second hurdle?" "Yes indeed, adventurer. I''m the priest of the second hurdle." "The proof of the body didn''t end with the fight with Johann." "Then that means this must be the proof of the body again." "Correct. So there''s nothing more to talk about." She answered unaffectedly, got up from her seat, and fluttered her nun''s habit. "I''m high priest Jane. Nice to meet you." Contrary to Johann, who was gloomy, she had a cheerful atmosphere. "I''m Hang Sungyeun." I wondered how important it would be to say my name in the midst of trials when I''m in a world of trials, but when I saw Jane''s eyes demanding my name, I answered tly. "You have no intention of putting any mercy in your hands, are you?" "None at all. I''ll kill you and move on." "I expected it from the moment Johann''s presence disappeared, but you''re pretty aggressive, huh." "..." It''s true that I''m aggressive, but I can''t just wing it when it''s a trial and all. There would be additional breakthrough rewards the more I certainly do things. It was too good to give up those. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is satisfied with your sobriety. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint smiles and says that such a thing is your charm. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World is advising you to beware of those crazy bitches. And to go with killing, the rise in proficiency of Necromancy is also quite high. "Are you thinking of having me or something like that?" The administrators observing me reacted immediately to what Jane spitted out while grinning. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World waits patiently for your answer. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch looks at you with squinted eyes. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is restless at questions she couldn''t have imagined. Jane throwing this kind of question was also shocking, but the response from the administrators was also quite something. Even White Crane Sword Saint was bewildered to the point that she even sent a message saying that she was restless. But it was no different for me, so I immediately answered her question with a sense of perplexity. "...I don''t have such a disgusting hobby, you see." "Ahaha, that''s a huge relief." And at the same time as her words ended, messages from administrators flooded in. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch strongly agrees with Jane. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' is sending trust to you, saying that she had believed in you. Administrator Seeker of Divinity fascinatingly observes your choices. I skimmed those messages, then turned my attention away and looked at Jane. "Moreover, why are you asking that when we''re in a temple? Who in the world would do such a thing?" "There is. People like you whoe in asionally do." "...Ah, Ok. I see." "You''re pretty innocent for an adventurer. Judging from the fact that you even beat Johann, you''ve got good skills and looking at you being merciless, you seem to have spent some time on the battlefield." "..." "I didn''t expect that the adventurer who came this far would look like someone out of a fairy tale." An adventurer who says he''d kill someone without hesitation is like someone out of a fairy tale. ''It''s a crazy world, for real.'' The thought that the Earth dimension is at least quite normal is firmly engraved in my head. "Let''s end the chatter here." With those words as an end, she pulled out her sword from the scabbard on her waist. And "The second hurdle begins now." The moment when pure white Sword Ki erupted from her rapier. I immediately felt the corners of my lips, that weren''t budging an inch, rise straight up regardless of my will. It was a smile that came from the expectation that I might be able to learn a new type of Sword Ki skill after a long time. Chapter 96: Proving (2) Chapter 96: Proving (2) ng! Activating the power Sword Ki Master. Activating Skill Lightning Sword Ki The shock created by the sword''s collision flows through my fingertips. Bzzzt! I pushed the de while activating the Lightning sword Ki, and Jane was greatly confused by that. "Aura!?" Maybe the Sword Ki is treated the same as the Aura in the Ares dimension? The Aura that the ck knight I had met before used was actually a kind of Sword Ki, now that I thought about it. It must be that the Earth dimension is the only dimension where Sword Ki or Aura didn''t exist at all. I felt a sense of bitterness toward that fact, but Jane seemed to feel a greater shock than me. aaang! After exchanging a blow and backing away, Jane opened her mouth in disbelief. "To think that a mere adventurer can wield an Aura" Then, she nodded as though she understood the Sword Ki I had used on her own. "So you were an adventurer from a fallen noble family, huh I see. That''s why you said you''d take the trial of the God of Proof. Interesting." I wasn''t from a fallen noble family or anything, but I decided to stay silent for now. And I don''t have to say anything back since the other person is misunderstanding it, too. "Is it that surprising to you that I''m using an Aura when you''re using one too?" "It''s because you''re an adventurer, and I''m a high priest." She said so as if there was a gap of status that couldn''t be filled between the two. "And technically speaking, I''m not wielding the Aura." "?" "I just manifested the divine power given by the God of Proof with power." "So you mean it''s not the official way of using the Aura." "Well, I guess you could put it that way. It''s some sort of an expedient." In short, it meant that it''s the same as the Sword Ki I used before I manifested the Sword Ki by myself. "Ahh" To that, I had no choice but to look at her with massive disappointment. It was a pity that I had nothing to learn and that the sword Ki she had wasn''t even skill, not allowing any possibility to absorb it. The fact that I had nothing to learn and the fact that there was no possibility to even absorb her Sword Ki as it''s not skill was disappointing. Should I say it felt like a single drop of water falling into the ground while feeling a burning thirst soaked right away? However Instead of being frustrated by that fact, I used my disappointment as nourishment and adjusted my grip on the sword. And at the same time, I looked at Jane catching her breath and asked her a question. "There''s something that I want to ask." "?" "Was that the end of the proof of the body?" "Do you think you''ve already won? Even if I''m not a formal Aura user, my skills are as good as one, you see?" "So you''re not going to tell me?" "I wonder I don''t know. If you want to know, try defeating me fair and square like a formal Aura user, and then perhaps I might tell you." Judging from her sullen tone, she must''ve thought that I was looking down on her. She must''ve even thought she was despised for not being a formal Aura user. Of course, she wasn''t wrong that I thought I won, but I have never despised her for not being a formal Aura user. But I shone my eyes at the condition she attached at the end of her sentence rather than her being angry. "I don''t think that''s enough. If I win, tell me what other proof will be there ahead of me." "Hah! I''ll do that if you win, adventurer. But isn''t it too early to think that you''ve won?" As soon as I saw the veins rising up on Jane''s fine forehead, I smiled softly. "That''s something we''ll find out soon." And With those words, I immediately kicked off and rushed to Jane. *** ng! aang! aaaaaaang! The battle with Jane was getting far longer than I expected. At some point, I didn''t even know how much time had passed. The cause of this long battle was because of the divine power that Jane had in her body. Perhaps iming that she was a priest wasn''t entirely wrong. She was constantly replenishing her stamina, recovering her wounds through divine power, and holding out against me. On top of that, her physical ability was pretty high, so she wasn''t an opponent I could defeat without any damage. But soon, while fighting with Jane, I noticed she had lessbat experience than I thought. Should I say it seemed like she had no experience in having a long fight against a strong opponent? It looked like she had never sparred with someone like me who could tenaciously keep up with her. ''Then I''ll have to make use of that too.'' For that, I slowly loosened the strength of my right hand holding the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword and started pretending to be a little exhausted on purpose. To prevent Jane from thinking that this was acting, I purposely loosened concentration on my eyes, clenched my teeth, and forcefully swung my sword. At that very moment, Jane took the bait. aaaaang! With the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword that was deliberately wielded poorly, Jane made a big move and blew my sword away from my hands. And soon, her face began to turn bright as though she had just won. Activating the power Iron-blooded Sword. Without noticing that it was the result of my n. "...!?" As soon as the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword disappeared, I immediately summoned the Iron-blooded Sword in my right hand. Then, an antique-looking Iron-blooded Sword tinged with frost was attached to my empty right hand. At the same time, a look of bewilderment fell on Jane''s face, which had guaranteed her victory. However, Jane, who struck my sword with a huge movement, wasn''t yet given freedom of action. I used that moment to strongly parry the rapier on Jane''s hand in reverse. Kaaang! *** *** "..." "I won." "N-No How did it turn like this" "Just think of it as yourck of practical experience." At that, Jane opened her mouth as though it made her go off the deep end. "Lack of practical experience, my ass! Don''t you think it''s the adventurer that''s strange when I''m recovering several times with divine power!?" Administrator God-ying Swordsman says, now that you mention it. She''s right. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World affirms the priest''s words, saying that what she''s saying isn''t entirely wrong. Administrator Seeker of Divinity sympathizes with Priest Jane''s anger and tells you that you''re the strange one. "Doesn''t the fact that you''ve neverpeted with such an opponent equate to yourck of practical experience?" Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is inted with pride and says this is her contractor. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch scoffs at a woman saying why is an administrator who signed the second contract is the one acting pompous. Administrator Seeker of Divinity feels interest and pleasure in your sophistry and is satisfied. "What kind of logic is that?" "Either way, I won." "That''s true." "Then let me know what you promised." Of course, Jane could say no, but I thought she wasn''t a person to do so. Even if she doesn''t, it''s just a matter of where I can finish her off and move on to the next hurdle. But Jane didn''t bother to say no, and immediately let out a deep sigh, and she began to exin. "There are now two proofs of the body left, and the proof of the belief will begin at the fifth hurdle and will end at the sixth." "Then do you mean that the proof of the spirit is only in the seventh hurdle?" "But you might wanna consider giving up once before trying the seventh hurdle." "?" "No one has ever passed the seventh hurdle, you see. Everyone who went through it had gone insane or died bleeding all over their body." I immediately activated the Fire Dragon''s Eyes to check if what she was saying was true, but. The skill ''Fire Dragon''s Eyes'' detects that there are no lies in the words of the opponent. Jane was just rying only the facts to me. "Then do you know the content of the proofs that''ll happen onwards" "I don''t know about that either." The skill ''Fire Dragon''s Eyes'' detects that there are no lies in the words of the opponent. "..." I realized this only after asking Jane this and that through the Fire dragon''s eyes. Those in charge of each proof barely interact with each other, and only properly know about the proof they''re in charge of. At that, with a sigh, I picked up the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword that had fallen in the room and deactivated the Iron-blooded Sword. Come to think of it, even though it had been a while since I acquired the Iron-blooded Sword, I haven''t been using it properly. ''The performance of the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword is too good, so I can''t really find a situation to use it.'' Originally, I thought that the sword I was using would be destroyed or disappear soon. But as I was using it, I couldn''t really use the power that much because perhaps the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword was better than I had imagined. At this point, I felt like I couldn''t even make use of the power properly. I thought of maybe learning dual wielding of a sword afterpleting the trial on the 11th floor, and soon looked at Jane. "I''ll be over soon, huh. Myst words are well. It''s been a while since I had a good fight. That''s about it." She didn''t look like someone who knew she was going to die soon. "Aren''t you scared of dying?" After I killed Jane, I''d absorb her soul. Nevertheless, Jane didn''t seem too afraid. When I wondered why and asked her, Jane answered calmly. "Because the soul of a high priest is bound to God." "Even if I die, I''ll just be returning to the side of God." "So that''s the reason why you don''t have any fear of death." "I may look like this, but I''m a priest who dedicated everything to God in my own way, so I''m free from all the worldly desires." I didn''t ask further if she really didn''t have any regrets and if it was okay for her to die like this. Anyway, I was longing for growth, and she wouldn''t feel devastated even if she died. Knowing that asking more like this would just be a disgusting act, I silently swung my sword. aaaash! You have absorbed the soul of the priest ''Jane''. Proficiency increased by 8.8% It''s been a while since I''ve felt my mind bing a bit dull. We fought properly, knowing that we were going to die, and Jane was defeated and lost her life as a result. It was a battle that risked life. If I had been weaker, it would''ve been me who died, not her. That''s all, and in reality, she''s a person that I wouldn''t be able to remember once I overcame the trial. And yet, currently, I was feeling some kind of guilt for killing her. " For an instant, I felt a chill seep through my body. I once swore to myself. Which was, to climb the tower, I''d kill everyone who tried to kill me. In doing so, I''d climb this tower without escaping from fighting and abandoning my humanity. However, that was to preserve the minimum amount of humanity, and I didn''t hesitate to kill people like this. Was I confused about my feelings this much because she didn''t have any malice towards me unlike the people I''ve met so far? However, Johann, whom I encountered at the first gate, was also simr if that''s the case. He didn''t have much malice towards me. He just quibbled about the trial. Even when killing him and taking the items from his pocket, I had no other feelings except for being a little sorry. For the first time, I began to feel fear. What will happen if this feeling doesn''t end with a simple whim but also oveps with self-contradiction? The feeling of being defeated by Namgung hyuk was like firewood intensifying the fire called longing for growth. But it''d be the worst if this precarious feeling blocks that longing and takes away my will. As I got to that thought, I felt my hair rising and frowned. "No wonder why it''s called the proof of the spirit It''s actually making me think about the subject of the trial." Perhaps this trial itself might have this kind of tendency. This space was prepared by the tower, and at the same time it was called a trial of the gods. There may be a factor that influences me without affecting the mana resistance and forceful breakthrough. I drove that fact in my head as though imprinting it, and immediately left the room and walked to the next hurdle. Unlike a while ago, there were broken pieces of ss attached to the hallway connecting the room. And it increased in numbers as I got closer to the next hurdle, till it looked like a single broken window. Should I say it connected and continueed as if a new mirror was beingpleted from the pieces of ss? That feeling became certain as soon as I entered the room where the third hurdle was. The walls, ceilings, and floors were lined with pieces of ss like broken mirrors. In the center of that foreign room was a priest with his eyes closed and a scabbard in his left hand. He was a man of great size, and his stout physique was conspicuous even from the outside of his fluttering robes. "An adventurer who can truly wield thews of the invisible world, I see." He murmured so with his eyes closed, then raised his right hand and ced his hand on the handle of his sword. And at the same time. Administrator God-ying Swordsman tells you that you should be careful now. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint says he uses a genuine Sword Ki, not a fabricated one. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is sending a small admiration, saying as expected from a priest who serves the God of Proof. While messages were flooding in from the administrators, the man grabbed the handle of the sword and "I''m the one who''ll be a sword that the God of Proof will wield, Resillian." Soon he gradually opened his eyes, slowly pulling out a straight sword from his scabbard. Then, as Resillian held the sword fully in his right hand, mes erupted from the de. It was an imperfect me that seemed like it could be extinguished by a gust of wind. However "Prove your mastery of arms here." It was a technique that had to be acknowledged, even imperfect. "Sword me" The worst technique that existed only to devour the Sword Ki appeared in front of me again. Chapter 97: Proving (3) Chapter 97: Proving (3) When I reached the third out of the seven hurdles, its level rose drastically. On the first hurdle, it was a fight against a priest who couldn''t even materialize fist Ki. And on the second hurdle, it was a duel with a priest who only used the Sword Ki by using a power. However, the high priest of the third gate, Resillian, was already on a different level than the other priests. Sword me. For me, who could only use Sword Ki, it was a technique that wasnt much different from the bane of my life. Its level is higher than Sword Ki, and it was a technique developed with an emphasis on thoroughly destroying Sword Ki, that''s weaker than itself. Sword me itself isn''t a technique that increases physical power, but it feels more like it shatters the mana that forms the Sword Ki. I don''t know why it worked that way, but it was clear that he was a formidable opponent. It was then "me of the Sword, huh Looks like you''re aware of this level." As if he had heard what I had just murmured, Resillian said so with a heroic smile. "I was severely stung by it once." I responded so and then ced more strength into my hand, holding the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword. This was in order to be able to react even if Resillian, who had reached the level of Sword me, attacked me at any point in time. "That must''ve been a good experience. Thanks to that, you would''ve been able to wield thew that can''t be seen." Aw that can''t be seen? I frowned at that foolish word and opened my mouth. "I''m not so sure what that invisiblew means." Only then did Resillian nod his head as though he had realized that he had misunderstood something. "It was my misunderstanding. You don''t seem to be able to use the Sword me yet." At that the moment, when I was about to ask him what the invisiblew was Martial arts are the proof of life and the only path to reaching God. Resillian slowly raised the sword imbued with Sword me and said so, and "You''ll have to realize how great the path you''re walking is." Soon, his eyes shed while warning me with a voice full of vigor. And "Otherwise, you''ll die at the third hurdle without being able to do anything." At the same time, Resillian swung his sword like lightning and rushed in. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 70%. Number of stacks - 7/7 At that, I rushed in the same direction, using all the eleration abilities I could use right away. Activating the skill ''Instant eleration. It was the beginning of the third hurdle. *** llang! The Sword Ki and the Sword me shed against each other, and the white me of the sword destroyed the Sword Ki. At that, I couldn''t help but think that the Sword me is truly an overpowered ability. I didn''t understand how it easily destroys the Sword Ki since it''s not like its physical power became stronger. At least, since it''s an iplete Sword me, I could endure for a while, and exchange blows. If Resillian had been able to wield the perfect Sword me, I would not have been able to fight properly. aaang! After exchanging an attack once, we entered a calm state. Using the Wind''s Blessing, I was elerating to a realm that even Resillian, wielding the Sword me, couldn''t keep up with. In short, we were in a difficult situation to settle this duel. While I sharpened my mana and put my brain to work. "Wielding things that are invisible to make a sword that cuts through heaven and earth." Resillian spoke out of nowhere as if he was going to help me. "By doing so, it creates a fictitious de called Aura with absolute physical power." Before I could even question him for those words, Resillian swung his Sword. And adjusting to that, I instinctively fired a sh with my Lightning Sword Ki. And.. Kaboom! "That''s a fancy aura. It''s been a long time since I''ve experienced an aura that utilizes lightning, so my eyes are in delight." Resillian looked at me while maintaining a stance that unleashed a sh. "..." He was a stronger opponent than I had imagined. I was unleashing the Sword Ki through the skill Lightning Sword Ki, but Resillian casually deflected the Sword Ki from a distance, as if it was the basics of the basics. ''The world that we''re perceiving must be different.'' On top of that, the words he threw during the battle affected me more seriously. Just like throwing a stone into a calm water surface and causing a big ripple. Every time I heard his exnation that felt like nonsense, my mana squirmed and swayed. I clearly felt it was a change for the good, not the bad. On that, I had no choice but to speak to Resillian with strong doubts. "Why are you throwing out words that might give me enlightenment like that?" The third hurdle is the proving of the body, and defeat means death. However, Resillian gave me good words as if he wanted me to grow. I had strong doubts about that fact, and when I asked, Resillian answered with a smirk. "That''s because I want to see you prove it." "...?" "The important thing in the path of martial arts is to prove each other''s martial arts and exchange them." "What do you" "I want to see the martial arts you will prove. That''s all." "Even if nothing will remain when you die can you really do that?" "Isn''t it obvious? That''s the path and proof of martial arts." I felt a hot gaze as if there was a me in Resillian''s eyes. "Prove the body, Prove the belief, and prove the spirit." I didn''t like it. "But what''s at the end is the proof of martial arts." The tip of my sword was shaking. "You can''t prove your martial arts properly yet." It''d be better if he treated me with malicious intentions. "Therefore, I''ll let you prove everything about yourself right here." I could see why I felt guilty for killing Jane on the second hurdle. She didn''t approach me with malice, and she came only to provide me with the hurdle. It was the same for Resillian. He was inducing growth in the hope that I''d properly prove my martial arts. *** *** Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch feels the contractor''s edge of the sword trembling slightly. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' pities your trembling Sword yet sympathizes with it. Administrator Seeker of Divinity feels your mind slowly crumbling. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World tells you that you don''t have the spirit as a martial artist yet. Just like what the administrators said, I was slowly falling apart. I was fully prepared to kill a person with malicious intentions, but As a single martial artist, I wasn''t prepared topete purely in martial arts. As soon as I realized that, I felt confused and my hands started shaking. "Every person has a time when they die." It was then "Much more for the battles between the same martial artists. Death is closer." Resillian looked straight at me and continued his words slowly. "Some people fail to prove their martial arts, and some seed in proving their martial arts." He said it with a determined face that didn''t suit him, as if it were the truth of this world. "Proving is struggle and survival. Hesitation is nothing but a luxury." With that phrase, I could hold on to my mind breaking down. This fight wasn''t just a fight against each other but a duel and struggle for survival. Since when was it possible for a weak bastard like me to fight with hesitation while dividing good and evil? "..." I admitted it. I almost paid the price for climbing the tower with a half-assed determination just now. However, the moment I realized this fact, I immediately gave up my foolish attitude. "Don''t dismiss the proving of a martial artist as a frivolous murder." It''s natural to fight each other and win, and it''s the process of building one''s own life. There was no right for me to ssify it as a flow of good and evil. Even if that''s the path that I''m on myself. When I started to think so, the sword that had been shaking at some point stopped shaking. Resillian looked at me as if he was satisfied with that and then smiled broadly. "Yeah just like that, you just have to slowly build up your belief." Before I knew it, my heart turned to steel as though it had never been shaken. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed Worldughs loudly as he senses that your spirit has grown. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' smiles happily that you''ve entered the path of martial arts. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is confident that you''ve set a new direction for growth and has high expectations of you. Administrator Seeker of Divinity is pleased with the birth of a new belief and eagerly watches you. Is this the belief held by those who walk the path of martial arts? "Now, the time for proving hase. Adventurer." I wasnt sure, but one thing was clear now. That is, through the fight with Resillian, I needed to learn the technique called Sword me. I held my breath while holding the sword, and immediately began to circte mana through my body. And "Prove your life through the martial arts you have." Soon, I stretched out my foot, changing my momentum like steel. *** -Do you think you''ll be able to fully wield Sword ki when you don''t even know what true martial arts are? For a moment, what Namgung Hyuk said ran through my mind. Why did Namgung Hyuk say that the powers, skills, or innate abilities don''t match up to martial arts? Martial arts simply has abilities that are no different from skills. It''s nothing more than having a systematic structure by circting mana throughout the body and putting energy into the sword. Nevertheless, Namgung Hyuk despised skills and called them fake abilities. -A fake Sword Ki won''t be able to match the true Sword Ki. He even said that the Sword Ki used through power is inferior to the Sword Ki learned through enlightenment. Considering that those words are true to some extent, the things that Namgung Hyuk said aren''t meaningless at all. It must''ve been because there was something in the martial arts that was enough for him to despise skills. -Wielding things that are invisible to make a sword that cuts through heaven and earth. Resillian told me that the invisible thing would form the Sword Ki. Then I wondered if that invisible thing meant mana. However, if it was just simply possessing mana and wielding it normally, neither Namgung Hyuk nor Resillian would''ve said this to me. -By doing so, it creates a fictitious de called Aura with absolute physical power. Resillian addressed the Sword Ki that is used by achieving the Body and Sword as One, as an absolute physical power. Isn''t Sword Ki just treating the sword as if it were your body and using it just like strengthening your body with mana? But why did Resillian speak as though telling me to understand the essence of Sword Ki? As I was thinking about it, a hypothesis suddenly popped up in my head. -That must''ve been a good experience. Thanks to that, you would''ve been able to wield thew that can''t be seen. I remembered what he said about being able to wield thew that can''t be seen. It was a hypothesis that the sword I was using wasn''t really an ordinary strengthening of the sword But forming aw that creates a kind of absolute physical power. So, if thew of the invisible world is called mana, how is Sword me formed? I forcibly let the mana perceive that the sword is just like my body and aplished the realm of Body and Sword as One. The conclusion was immediately drawn. ''It was the will.'' ording to the will of the owner, the mana changes its form from moment to moment. Not just pouring the willpower into the realm of Body and Sword as One, which is strong enough to form a Sword Ki, but pouring it into other areas. However, if I put all my willpower into other areas, the Body and Sword as One won''t be maintained. ''That''s why I felt like the Sword me didn''t have a stronger physical power than Sword Ki.'' It didn''t increase its physical power, but focused on creating the power that destroys the Sword Ki with willpower. At that moment, I realized why Resillian said martial arts was the only path to God. When you apply willpower to mana, it affects thews of the real world by twisting them. What else can I call it other than bing a God when you reach the end of it? Fwwaaaaap! Path of the warrior achievement unlocked. Power ''Sword Ki Master'' grows into Power ''Realm of Sword me''. It was only for a moment that the ecstasy of bing like a god enveloped my body. The sense that was hazy at the moment when the sword was wrapped in mes through enlightenment was awakened in an instant. And I swung my sword as I saw Resillian rushing in with his imperfect Sword me. And Kabzzzt! At that moment, Resillian''s imperfect sword me was eaten by me, and even the de was destroyed. aaash! Soon, Resillian, in the path of the sword I wielded, was hit by the sword and was greatly pushed back. I opened my mouth without fully understanding what was going on, but After a while, I was able to fully grasp my own realm. Realm of the Sword me. I had stepped into the supreme realm I longed for so much. Chapter 98: Proving (4) Chapter 98: Proving (4) Drop, drop I stared straight ahead, holding the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword drenched with blood in my hand. Resillian, leaning against the wall made out of broken mirrors, bleeding harshly, jumped to my eyes. The Sword me in the broken sword that he was holding had disappeared long ago. Resillian nced down at the deathly wound on his chest and thenughed loudly as though something was funny. "Hahahah so this is the real Sword me, I see" Yes. I had just miraculously entered the realm of Sword me and overwhelmed Resillian''s sword. I broke his de in half and, at the same time, cut into his chest. It was a wound so huge that everyone would be convinced that no one could ever survive it, and Resillian seemed to be aware of that fact to some extent. "..." But Resillian didn''t obsess with life, nor was furious about his defeat. Rather, he smiled happily as if he had something to learn, and thanked me. "It was a big help for me, who couldn''t use a real Sword me. Thank you, adventurer" At the words Resillian had uttered, I shook my head with a face as though absurd. "The help you gave me would be greater. If I hadn''t understood the principle of how the Sword me works, I wouldn''t have been able to use it properly." It was true. I couldn''t imagine that Sword Ki wasn''t just a skill that came out as a result of the Body and Sword as One. Body and Sword as One was simply a matter of how far one could handle their mana to the limit with willpower. By recognizing the sword as a body, allowing mana to permeate the sword, and then transferring the willpower along with the mana to form a de that cuts through everything. That was the principle of the Sword Ki. And the decisive move called Sword me is the technique of Sword Ki developed by interpreting the principle of Sword Ki at a higher level. I could see why Namgung Hyuk told me that skills are just an imitation of martial arts. To think that you could affect thews of reality if you reached a certain level An overpowered skill like this couldn''t properly be implemented even with skills, and its value was quite considerable. However, in the process of realizing the Sword me, I had no choice but to have one doubt. Sword Ki is one''s will that greatly influences mana and twists reality. And Sword me is to maintain Sword Ki with willpower at a higher level and to instill in the mana the nature of destroying Sword Ki. "Why didn''t you use a proper Sword me until the end?" But it wasn''t clear why Resillian had used an iplete Sword me. He was the one who taught me how to activate Sword me, as well as the real principle of Sword me. Resillian was enlightened enough, and he probably had the same level of willpower to wield Sword me as I did. However, he couldn''t reach the level of true Sword me in the end. The fire fluttering from the de was weak and wobbly, as if it could be extinguished at any moment. As though he couldn''t properly transfer the will to the mana "Don''t tell me" "Seems like you''ve noticed. I can''t move my mana with willpower properly." "What do you" "I couldn''t control my mana since birth." "..." "I wanted to walk the path of the sword and be an imperial knight but I couldn''t. Hahah I may have had the talent for swords, but I didn''t have the talent for mana." Resillian continued speaking as if it was just his memory of a time. "I wanted to prove myself." I stood still and listened attentively to the voice that I would''ve previously ignored and decapitated right away. "I wanted to strike a heavy blow to those whoughed at me for not being able to control my mana." "So I mourned and prayed loudly. That I''d be their faithful sword if anybody gives me the ability to handle mana." "...And the God of Proof gave you the strength, huh." "Yes. They allowed me to move my mana through divine power. It was a really tiny amount of power to control, but that was enough." "I was able to materialize the aura, and on the way to the next level, I manifested the me of the sword." "But you couldn''t use the Sword me properly because your ability to control the mana wasn''t enough, I see." At those words, I slowly blinked my eyes and opened my mouth. "...You were the greatest warrior I''ve ever seen." I meant it. Even among the challengers of the Murim dimension, there was no one who walked the path of true martial arts like him. Not just the skills, but even in terms of the character, he was a real martial artist. "I''m d to hear that. Adventurer, you were great too." Resillian smiled and forced himself to say it in a squeezed voice. "You''ve proven your martial arts and put your own belief right." At that, I wanted to tell him that he told me everything, but. Resillian raised his hand to prevent me from opening my mouth. "When you win against someone and prove your martial arts, don''t carry any regrets about it." Gradually, the energy disappears as though the soul is leaking away from Resillian''s voice. "The path of martial arts is to shoulder the karma of the vanished warriors." His voice became timid, and soon after, Resillian slowly closed his eyes. "Win, Win again, Keep winning and prove your path without regret" After he mumbled those words as though he was dreaming, Resillian showed no signs of moving. At the same time, ck energy slowly rose from Resillian''s body, and that''s when I realized it. You have absorbed the soul of the priest ''Resillian''. Proficiency increased by 14% High priest Resillian was no longer alive. Innate ability Necromancys proficiency reached 100%. Innate ability Necromancy ranked up. *** *** Resillian gave me enlightenment when I was shaken, and even became a support for my mental state. Hesitation on the path to prove one''s own martial arts is nothing but a luxury. I shouldn''t tell what''s right from wrong. And it was inevitably sad that a good man who gave me such realization died. Even if this world was materialized by the Tower of Trials and had no effect on the real word, that fact didn''t change. It''s because it was Resillian who gave me enlightenment and taught me the path of martial arts. So it was natural to feel sad, and it was natural for guilt to seep into my heart. However "..." I didn''t tremble more or have any confusion. I just calmly epted his death and soonid his body, which was leaning against the wall, on the floor. Resillian was dead with a light smile, as if he was satisfied. I looked at his corpse, and after a moment of silence, I brought out the words I couldn''t speak. "Like what you told me I''ll win, win, win again. And prove my martial arts." Currently, I had received so much from Resillian that it was difficult to put a price on it. As well as the beliefs of a person walking the path of martial arts, I came to understand the true principle of the skill called Sword Ki. Therefore, if I don''t do this at least, I wouldn''t feelfortable. Administrator God-ying Swordsman gives a faint smile at your actions. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World stays silent while watching your actions. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' reminiscences the past in your actions. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch feels the qualities of a lord in your actions.. I left the room made of broken mirrors, silently receiving the stares of the administrators. On the way to the fourth hurdle, I could see the broken mirror gradually changing from its broken form to its normal form. The mirror that continued, as though it was gradually bing a normal mirror, felt like myself changing form as I pass through this hurdle. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of priest ''Johann''. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of priest ''Jane''. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of priest ''Resillian''. As soon as I reached the end of the hallway, I absorbed all the souls just in case. Because these souls were too good to just spend it as a passive shield. Strength increased by 8. Agility increased by 6. Stamina increased by 7. Mana increased by 8. Tenacity increased by 9. I felt vitality all over my body and the pleasure of growing up, which I couldn''t feel easily recently. And. Acquiring one of the skills of Priest ''Resillian''. Acquiring skill ''Iron Will''. I immediately moved my mouth and opened the status window. Han Sungyeun Radiance - Conqueror ] Strength - 86 Stamina - 84 Agility - 85 Mana - 79 Tenacity - 81 Innate ability - Necromancy (B) Innate power - Skill Combination Power - Serenity (C-), Realm of Sword me (A-), Wings of Steel(C+), Sword of Iron-blood(A-) Skill - See details I had confirmed once again that I was truly bing a monster now. All stats were rising toward triple digits, and they werent far from that. I immediately checked the new detailed effect of Necromancy, which had ranked up by absorbing Resillian''s soul, in the status window. Other than the skill rank, the description written below hadn''t changed, but Detailed effect (6) - When absorbing the soul of an opponent stronger than the user, power can be extracted depending on the judgement. The sixth detailed effect created by increasing the rank of Necromancy was a pretty fair ability. To think that I was allowed to extract power when I absorbed a strong opponent''s soul Even though that alone was already surprising, I was excited at the fact that this innate ability was at rank B. ''I wonder what kind of abilities will be avable when it ranks up a bit more. Soon after, I opened the skill window and checked the skill description for the newly acquired ''Iron Will''. Skill - Iron Will(A-) Proficiency - 27% Definition - A symbol of one who doesn''t give into despair and challenges the impossible until the end. Basic effect - When you encounter an opponent stronger than the user, physical stats greatly increase overall, and your concentration goes up. Additional effect - When the skill is activated, it bes easier to gain enlightenment, and the mental protection ability is greatly strengthened. It was a skill that had better abilities than I thought. To think that the physical stats and concentration will greatly increase when dealing with powerful enemies? It was a skill that was like a ray of light to me, who always had to fight against strong opponents. And it didn''t stop there. When the skill is activated, it said that it bes easier to gain enlightenment, and the mental protection ability increases significantly. ''I guess I''ll be using it often since it also has a series of abilities in regards to growth assistance." With that, I felt satisfied and soon turned off the status window. Now that I had somewhat checked the things I had acquired, it was time to move. Creak I slowly opened the door leading to the fourth hurdle, and soon I was able to see the room made of mirrors. Although there were still cracks in the mirror, it was better than the room made out of broken ss in which Resillian was standing. "Uh Seems like Resillian died. This is a bit out of my expectations." The high priest in charge of the fourth hurdle was a little boy. "Are you really an ordinary adventurer who''s challenging the hurdles?" The boy, who seemed like he had just turned 10 years old, asked that question as though he was dumbfounded. I didn''t answer that question right away but first looked at the boy who was the guardian of the fourth hurdle. The boy held a small de made out of a mirror in his hands and was dressed in a loose-fitting priest robe. Seeing that the vibe he gives off is different, he really did feel like a real priest of God. I stared at the boy silently, then spoke with a tired voice. "I don''t really want to have a conversation. Please start the fourth hurdle." At that, the boy looked at me, and then said with a cold smile. "So that''s what happened You, do you know that? You''re out of your mind right now." To the boy''s tone as though he had be a psychiatrist, I answered tly. "I know." But despite my answer, the boy continued to speak like he was giving me advice. "I don''t know what that guy Resillian, who''s crazy for martial arts, told you, but you''re slowly being consumed by the madness of martial arts." Maybe he can see through my current state? ''To be consumed by the madness of martial arts'' Perhaps the boy''s words are the most appropriate expression for my current state. It was amazing, but that doesn''t mean I paid close attention to what he said. "So?" "The madness of martial arts isn''t something that ordinary people can handle. Give up the trial, go outside and focus on resting your mind and body for a while." "Then what would change?" "At least you won''t be killed in vain by me here. Stop thinking that you can defeat me by only using martial arts." In short, if I believed only in the martial arts I had and attacked him, he''d be killing me. After understanding the hidden meaning right away, I immediately shook my head and opened my mouth. "It doesn''t matter, so it''d be better for you to start the trial of the fourth hurdle." "...It''s been a while since I saw someone purely crazy about martial arts like Resillian." "I''m Kairan, a preliminary apostle who serves the God of Proof." Preliminary apostle. When I narrowed my eyes at the name of his position, that seemed strong just by hearing it. "Starting now, ording to thew of proof, you''ll have to prove your flesh to me." Kairan soon announced the beginning of the fourth hurdle and his eyes lit up. And "Come forth, adventurer who has surrendered himself to madness. Your body will end all the proving here." After finishing his sentence, small wings sprang up from Kairan''s back that somehow felt divine. They were wings that seemed impossible to fly with, but the energy you could feel from them was enormous. I could feel the flow of a slightly different energy from mana, but that was probably divine power. ''He''s amplifying the energy through the wings.'' Just like I used the mana circuit to strengthen my body, he was doing something simr. It seems as though he''s strengthening himself through the energy transmitted from his wings. Having such a powerful ability, it seemed right for him to call himself a preliminary apostle. However Activating the power Realm of Sword me. Activating the skill Wind''s Blessing. Activating the skill Instant eleration. I wasn''t a real warrior who came here only with pure martial arts. You''ve encountered a strong opponent for you to handle. Activating the skill ''Iron Will. Now, it''s time to finish this damned proof of the body. Chapter 99: Journeys End (1) Chapter 99: Journey''s End (1) The first impression I felt during the sh with Kairan, a preliminary apostle who was serving the God of Proof, was simple. It was that he uses his power better for dog fights than I expected. Shiiiiiing! From the fragments of the broken mirror held in Kairan''s hands, a pure white ray of light rampaged wildly. During that process, the light rays bounced off the mirrors in the room, and then rushed toward me. The beam of light was shot at me from a blind spot, but nevertheless, I immediately twisted my body to dodge it. Activating the skill Fire Dragon''s Eyes. Kairan took advantage of the room''s features that were made out of mirrors to attack from a blindspot. To that, I activated Fire Dragon''s Eyes, avoiding and deflecting all rays, blocking Kairan''s attack. And soon, I jumped off as though smashing the ground and swung my sword at Kairan''s neck at once. However Next, as the little white wings on Kairan''s back moved, a gust of wind blew around him. A fierce gust of wind slowed my movement, telling me it wouldn''t allow me to draw near him. And Kairan used that moment to stop emitting rays from the de and immediately use another skill. I was well aware of the Sword Ki swinging like mes on a broken mirror de. It was the Sword me. aaang! Both of our swords shed, and we were pushed back, but Kiaran immediately moved the des of the broken mirrors in both his hands. Unlike me, using a single sword, Kairan attacked many times with two des held in both hands. Activating the skill ''Chaotic Sword-fighting y(C+).'' Sword attack speed increases by 12%. Number of stacks - 6/10 Of course, I had some abilities that could increase my attack speed, but Essentially, Kairan had two swords in his hand, and I only had one. Because of that, I was pushed back while receiving Kairan''s fierce attacks as though parrying them. Soon after, Kairan fluttered his wings again and created a gust of wind, and another ray of light was emitted from the two broken mirrors. It was then that I realized why Kairan said that pure martial arts could never defeat him. A sure-win strategy. The power that Kairan owned had no other way to describe it. ''It''s a very consistent pattern, yet a fucked up one that I can''t reallye up with a countermeasure.'' He bounces the ray to a blindspot, then attacks unexpectedly, and when the enemy blocks it and approaches, he creates a gust of wind with the small wings on his back and pushes the enemy away. Even after pushing through that extreme offense, he overwhelms the opponent with high-level swordsmanship and creates a gust of wind when near. Then, if he seeds in pushing the opponent away with a gust of wind, he starts attacking again from the beginning. It''s at a level where it can be called a sure-winbo that can never be breached. In fact, Kairan still had a confident smile on his face, as though he was aware of that. He was probably hoping for me to be tired and move slowly or end up with reckless actions. If I just keep on blocking it, I''ll die of exhaustion, and even if I attempt to do new things, I''ll die if it''s not certain. Priest Johann, who I encountered first, was already an absurd trial for the hard difficulty but Now, I wanted to ask if he was really an opponent that can appear even if this is a hard difficulty. Administrator Dark Demon is bewildered by the level of the preliminary apostle in battle. Administrator Priest of Confession can''t help but be astonished and asks if he''s really a preliminary apostle. Administrator Ruler of the Sky is starting to question the difficulty of this trial on the 11th floor. Quite a number of administrators were bewildered, as though they knew that the enemy I was dealing against was strong. The situation was quite serious, seeing that even those who had never sent a proper message gave a reaction. Administrator Priest of the Seven Gods says, he has quite a lot of divine power for a preliminary apostle. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World enjoys watching this dog fight while chewing on snacks. Administrator Seeker of Divinity says that the skill of the preliminary apostle is quite suitable to be an apostle. However, the administrators who used to constantly send messages didn''t show much of a response. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is annoyed by the needlessly time-consuming preliminary apostle. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' shines her eyes while looking forward to your actions. Even the administrators who contracted with me were no different. I felt a little disappointed at that, but soon I erased those feelings and looked at Kairan. He was a high-level swordsman who even used Sword me, and at the same time, the strength of his powers was formidable. However, I confirmed that the wings on his back had no other ability than to create and release a gust of wind by amplifying the divine power. In addition, the de of the broken mirror in Kairan''s hands had no other function other than emitting rays. ''These should be the only powers that Kairan can use.'' When I saw the administrators'' reaction, there were a lot of people who said this was a lot of power. And that means even if he had more powers, it would be just one or two more. I should be able to respond properly by analyzing the pattern a little more if it''s just that. Therefore Activating the skill Counter Shield. It was time to put an end to this fight. Kaboom!! With the Counter Shield summoned above the palm of my hand, I blocked the ray shot from the side. "!?" At that, Kairan, flustered quickly fired arger amount of rays, with both rays, but The value of this Counter Shield wasn''t limited to just blocking attacks. Chargingplete. The skill ''Counter Shield'' is in a state where you can reflect the umted damage. After using quite a bit of mana in my body to block all of Kairan''s rays, my eyes lit up. And The skill Counter Shield releases the umted damage at once. Soon, a single ray of light shot from the shield prated Kairan like lightning. *** *** Pshhh! Surprisingly, the wall of the room made of broken mirrors couldn''t bounce off the ray I had shot. The wall of broken mirrors melted in the rays of light, and the ss shards melted by the heat. I didn''t know if it was because it bounced only the power that Kairan used, or because the ray I shot was powerful, but now one thing was certain. "Keheugh Wh-What the hell is this." Kairan was incapacitated. "N-No way Th-There''s no trace that you''ve learned any magic, but how" There was a fairlyrge hole around his small body''s heart. I wondered how he could speak so normally when his heart must''ve blown away. But apart from that question, I answered dying Kairan''s question straightly. "That''s because everyone at least has a card up on their sleeve." Of course, Kairan didn''t ept what I said and moved his lips. "Why does a man crazy about swords know how to handle such bullshit magic like this" "It''s like how you''ve reached the state of Sword me and yet know how to fire a ray of light." Kairan''s eyes widened at that. "D-Don''t tell me, you also have the power of god" "No, It''s nothing like that." I really didn''t have the power to fire rays randomly like Kairan. If I did, then I would''ve killed Kairan by now without analyzing the pattern. However, perhaps it didn''t sound good enough for Kairan. He soon squinted his eyes and said as if he was tired of me. "Asshole." "" When I looked at him in stunned silence at his words, Kairan soon spoke condescendingly. "ording to thew of proof, you''vepleted the proof of the body" As if conducting apletion ceremony of some sort, Kairan continued his words firmly, even if he was dying. "You didn''t run away from the fight nor lose. I approve of your proof." Kairan spoke up to that point and then changed his attitude and looked at me, and gestured with his head. "So, get, the fuck off First of all, what kind of proof does a monster like you need to prove anyway." Before I could even reply something to those words, Kairan''s breathing stopped. "..." And at the same time, dark smoke rose from Kairan''s body and approached me. You have absorbed the soul of the priest ''Kairan''. Proficiency increased by 13% It was then The judgment of power extraction begins by absorbing a soul stronger than the user. The new Necromancy ability that I had forgotten was activated, and the judgment of power extraction began. Judgmentplete. I didn''t know what the basis for the judgment was, but the judgment was sessful. It has been confirmed that a power exists in the soul of priest ''Kairan''. Extracting power from the soul. And The power ''Divine Power (C+)'' is being engraved on the soul of user Han Sungyeun. At the same time, I felt a new aura in my heart, and I frowned. "Divine power?" For some reason, it left a bad taste because an unexpected aura entered me. Should I say that it felt like I identally swallowed a candy while holding it in my mouth? I didn''t know how to use the aura that suddenly settled in my heart, and even when I tried to move, I couldn''t move it. I stood there for a moment and tried to activate the divine power, but I soon gave up on the activation. It could be that I didn''t have talent or such, but essentially, it felt like there was a separate way to use this aura. "It''spletely different from utilizing mana." Originally, I thought of mana as something driven by the strong will of the user. In fact, even before entering the tower in the past, I moved my mana that way. And at that time, of course, I didn''t know if I was handling it properly because I had such a small amount of mana that I doubted whether it really existed. I could confirm it by using it in a state where my current mana had grown significantly. Mana was the energy that responded sensitively to the user''s will. That''s why it''s more difficult to handle, and it''s tricky to deal with because you have to clear your will out, but it can be dealt with. However, no matter how much I tried to use the divine power, it was immovable, as if it wouldn''t move unless the proper procedure was followed. "..." While on it, the administrators noticed that I got divine power and sent a message. Administrator Priest of the Seven Gods is bewildered by the divine power felt from your body. Administrator Seeker of Divinity is intrigued by the divine power that was generated even though you''re not serving a god. Administrator Priest of Confession is terrified after seeing the divine power suddenly generated in your heart. But everyone''s reaction was a bit strange. I frowned at their reactions such as bewildered or terrified. Perhaps they didn''t know that I extracted divine power using my innate ability? ''Does that mean that even the administrators don''t have the ability to detect that far?'' But other than that, administrators were freaking out about other facts too. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' wonders why divine power has entered your middle dantian. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is perplexed as she realizes that there''s no trace of god in the divine power that dwells in your heart. They were all confused by the fact that I generated divine power even though I don''t believe in a god. Is it so strange that I don''t believe in god, yet I have divine powers? I thought about it for a while, but it was impossible to properly discern about this with my current knowledge. ''I guess I can''t help it.'' In conclusion, there was nothing I could do, so I moved on. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of Priest ''Kairan''. Strength increased by 4. Agility increased by 3. Stamina increased by 3. Mana increased by 4. Tenacity increased by 5. At the same time, I also absorbed the soul of Kairan right away so it wouldn''t be consumed by the passive shield. Then, after leaving the room of the broken mirror, I entered the hallway towards the fifth gate. As I walked down the hallway, the cracks in the mirror gradually disappeared, making the mirrorpletely intact. I wondered if there was any connection with the fact that the cracks on the mirror disappeared just as the proof of the body ended. Of course, as soon as I reached the end of the hallway, I erased that thought and soon opened the door. And "You passed." The fifth hurdle announced my pass as soon as I arrived. Chapter 100: Journeys End (2) Chapter 100: Journey''s End (2) As soon as I entered the room of the fifth hurdle, I couldn''t help but be perplexed. I had no choice but to feel so. "You passed." It was because of the words uttered by the old man sitting in the middle of the room as soon as I opened the door. At that, I stared at the old man in the priest''s robes nkly for a moment, and then opened my mouth. "What do you mean by passed" "It means that you''ve passed the fifth hurdle." "?" "Please proceed to the sixth hurdle." "I mean, Why" I was dumbfounded. Even the priest of the first hurdle properly focused on giving the trial of the proof. And all the hurdles that followed, I continued to prove my body fiercely in the fight against the priests. But to think that I passed immediately after finishing all the proofs and entering the proof of the belief? I couldn''t understand the current situation, no matter what, so I asked the old priest for an answer. At that, the old priest looked at me tly and then said there was nothing he could do. "I watched youe all the way here to the fifth gate from the first hurdle." I had doubts about why I couldn''t notice his gaze from what he said, but "Don''t ask why you couldn''t detect it. Think of it as a power given by God." As though to cut off such thoughts of mine, the old priest''s words continued. "Originally, the fifth hurdle begins with contemtion of imagery." "But why am I not doing it?" "That''s obviously because you''re already at a level where you don''t have to contemte your imagery." "...What?" "Just like what Kairan told you, you''re crazy. You''re caught up in the madness of martial arts." "..." "But that doesn''t mean you''re swallowed up by it. You''re governed by the desire to grow and the endless longing from your wretched past." The old priest said so, and then let out a sigh as if he was annoyed. "Isn''t it your goal to win, win, and win again, to grow infinitely and be the strongest?" I never directly thought that I wanted to be the strongest, but Just like the old priest said, I longed to be stronger through continuous growth. It seems like an excessive interpretation to judge that desire as wanting to be the strongest by growing infinitely, though. "It''s not an excessive interpretation, but just a conclusion you''ll reach in the end, you see." "...Do you also have the ability to read people''s minds?" "To some extent. I have no experience with fighting, but thanks to that, I have some other powers." "Ah, I see" He was a priest with more amazing powers than I expected. "By the way, if you''re nning to kill me, kill me quickly and go on." I opened my eyes widely at the words that the old priest suddenly uttered. "I can feel the desire to kill this old man and be stronger from the consciousness deep inside you." "What do you" "Whatever decision you make, it won''t affect your proof, so just do whatever you want." "..." I paused for a moment at those words, but then shook my head and said. "I won''t do that." "...Why?" It was simple. "Because it''s against my belief." Casually killing people is an area that corresponds to the loss of humanity. Killing a person when there''s no will to fight against each other is just a homicide without cause. I decided not to set foot in this area a long time ago. It was a separate matter from recognizing each other as dueling opponents and fighting without malice. "Oh This is unexpected. Perhaps it would''ve been okay if I gave you the trial of the fifth gate." But the old priest didn''t seem to want to give me any trials. "Well then, farewell. I wish you the best of luck in your proof." I bowed my head silently at his calm farewell, and then walked straight to the next hurdle. But in the hallway leading to the sixth gate, I sensed something strange. "...?" It was because the more I walked down the hallway, the more the reflection in the mirror began to turn ck. At that, I touched it directly, wondering if the material changed from a mirror to a ck stone, but Surprisingly, the ck walls of this hallway were made of ss like a mirror, not stones. "..." The changes that urred as I moved on to the next hurdles weren''t entirely meaningless. From nothingness to fragments of the broken mirror gathering to form aplete mirror. It must be an expression of the progress of the proof or the growth of the person who''s taking the trial. But to suddenly see the reflection in the mirror turning ck, it felt quite leery. And that leery feeling became stronger as soon as I opened the door to the sixth hurdle. "..." In the room of the ominous mirror, where all sides were reflected in ck, I looked towards the center and. "Hi." Soon, a beautiful woman with ck hair who had her eyes covered with a ck eyepatch in the center came into my vision. "You''re the first one toe all the way to the fifth hurdle without a break." She smiled as she stared at me as if she could see everything, even with the eyepatch on. "You can start the sixth hurdle whenever you want." "...Then can I start the sixth hurdle right away? "Really? Are you fine without taking a break? I''m not sure about your body, but I''m sure your mental fatigue must''ve umted quite a bit, though? "It doesn''t matter." I also wondered what kind of trial proof of belief was too. Moreover, I was indeed mentally exhausted, but it wasn''t on a level where I could recover it by taking a little bit of a break. Therefore, It was better to start the sixth hurdle right away since I had to face the music some time, so it might as well be now. "If that''s what you wish, then sure." The beautiful woman with ck hair continued with a smile. "In the name of Aileen, a saintess who serves the god of proof, I announce the beginning of the sixth hurdle." It was a slightly more serious voice than a while ago. And "You should be able to properly face the state of your mind." With those words, I fell into the endless darkness, losing all sensation in my body. *** *** For a moment, I couldn''t hide my bewilderment and felt my head go nk. It was understandable. I was falling alone in the pitch-ck darkness where I couldn''t see anything. The ck-haired saintess who just introduced herself as Aileen was nowhere to be found. And I was the only one in a state of drowning without knowing anything with a feeling that I''ve lost my body. If this was real, it''d be the worst, and if it wasn''t, it''d be really dangerous. Simply because if I was hallucinating to the point where I couldn''t feel my body this much, it meant that my death was near. There was no guarantee that Aileen wouldn''t attack me, and I didn''t know how far I had to fall, losing every sense like this. I felt a strong enough fear to stop thinking for a moment as I was ced in a situation where I could die, but The power ''Serenity (C-)'' stops you from losing yourposure and weakens the limitations of State of Mind . Soon, I felt the tactile sensations of my whole body return, and I twitched my arms. It was then -Wow You''ve got quite the willpower, huh? I didn''t expect you to react by moving your body when you''ve fallen into your State of Mind. I was startled by the unpleasant sensation of words being written directly in my head. -Oh, there''s nothing to worry about. Your State of Mind is where you are right now, and you''re fine. I was perplexed for a while but soon realized that this was Aileen''s power. Just as the old priest read what I was thinking, this saintess must have the power tomunicate with me. -Of course, although I was almost in danger of being killed by your sword, I''m fine too. Aileen was almost killed by my sword What a relief. Even if I lost consciousness, I instinctively resisted, and it looked like Aileen was almost killed because of that. This meant that I had reached a level where I could defend myself even in unconsciousness. I assumed it was the result of the umtion of experience by repeating countless battles. -No, can''t you just worry about me a little bit and not say it''s a relief? Rather than that, I quickly pondered what the term State of Mind meant. Perhaps it meant that this space where I am is not an ordinary hallucinated space, but I was looking at my State of Mind as a hallucination? -It''s not the correct answer, but well, I guess so. It''s a conclusion that''s close to the correct answer. As Aileen spoke as if she heard what I was thinking, I immediately realized that she had the same powers as the old priest. -Old priest? Ah, you''re talking about Henir, huh? I''ll consider that as a correct answer too. Other than that, please tell me what this has to do with proof of belief. -Mm Your thoughts changed quite politely. Did you be conscious of talking to me? Let''s put it that way. So now please tell me how I should prove my belief. -It''s simple. The space you''re in is the world of your State of Mind. You just have to see the world of your State of Mind. Then the sixth hurdle will be over. And what does it mean to be able to see the world of my State of Mind? -A person''s State of Mind is constructed and is hugely influenced by that person''s belief. But no one can see it. Just as you only see a ck scene when you close your eyes, so is the world of State of Mind. So this ck hallucination meant that I had entered the world of State of Mind. And now I just need to be able to see the essence in this void world of my State of Mind? -Ahaha, you know it well already. While you''re in there, your sense of time may be quite out of joint. But don''t worry. I''m observing your body from the outside. No, that worries me more, though. -Stop joking around. Do you think a saintess who serves God will harm you? That saddens me a bit. I think it''s very possible since you people made me fight a monster like that preliminary apostle for the proof of body, you know. -Huff! That''s one way to look at it! If so, wouldn''t you be dead meat? Is this woman perhaps making fun of me right now? -For a moment, your rude thoughts were revealed. You were being polite all the time, but your thoughts aren''t, huh. I''m really sorry about that. But if you touch me more, wouldn''t my body react on its own? -I know. Don''t worry. I have no ns on touching you as my head almost flew away by your sword. That''s good to hear. I thought as if saying so and then fumbled, concentrating on the touch I had just felt. While doing so, I was able to be aware of my own body and regained my sense of touch. I still couldn''t see my hand, but when I fumbled with my body, I could definitely feel the touch. -...What? No, how can you possibly be aware of your body already? I''m sure it''ll take some time as nothing can be felt in the State of Mind? I didn''t really know how. I heard that the limitations of the State of Mind were weakened by the power of Serenity, so it may be because of that. -Serenity? Did you also have divine powers? Woah, this is really surprising. It''s not divine power, and it''s none of your business, so please be quiet. -That''d be difficult. You might go insane in the meantime, you see. It''s a power that has the effect of shifting the sense of time, so it wouldn''t be difficult for you to be insane. A power that has the effect of shifting the sense of time? -It means the time in the real world is passing so fast while you''re thinking in the world of State of Mind. Don''t tell me, did a day or around that much time already pass? -Not that much, but two hours must''ve passed already. This was quite dangerous. Currently, the time I spent breaking through the five hurdles was one day at most. However, I might spend most of the remaining time of 7 days on this sixth hurdle. And what''s even worse is that there was a possibility that I''d die by consuming the remaining time in this space. I need to be able to quickly see through the State of Mind. -7 days? Remaining time? What''s that? I quickly put my brain to work without answering Aileen''s question. Systems exist even in this world of State of Mind. That was just confirmed through the activation message of Serenity. I can''t hear the administrator''s messages, but that doesn''t mean the system messages are gone too. That means the system also exists in this world of State of Mind. -You really use many terms that you only know, huh? Are you perhaps just messing around with words like a secret code? Status window. -Status window? I see. Not even the status window could appear. -I''m slowly starting to worry about your mental state I didn''t expect you to go insane this quickly But I wondered if the skills could be activated. I immediately focused my consciousness and activated Instant eleration. Activating the skill ''Instant eleration''. It worked. -Wh-What''s this? How did you do it? Woah, you''re in the world of State of Mind, and you circted mana in your body? Now that the skill activation message has popped up, the following is important. What can I do with this system, and how can I get through this situation? -I don''t know what it is, but I get that you''re crazier than I had expected. Before thinking about it, I decided to settle this feeling of falling down. Activating the skill ''Wings of Steel''. -...I have a question, are you a human? Why are wings made out of steel appearing on your back? Fortunately, even I, in the world of State of Mind, immediately gained steel wings, and I was able to fly. As soon as I resolved the feeling of falling, I felt the answer run through my mind. The fact that power is applied to the body in the world of State of Mind, means that the skills are also applied in the same way. Then, wouldn''t I be able to fully perceive this world of State of Mind using my skills? Thankfully, I had the skill to perfect this State of Mind. -...Y-You already found the answer? No, other than that, what in the world is that skill you''re talking about? Ignoring those words, I immediately activated the Fire Dragon''s Eyes. Activating the skill Fire Dragon''s Eyes. Then, the darkness around me was slowly lifted, and I smiled at the unfolded scene. I did it. -...There''s no way! Wh-What in the world is this!? Why is the area of the State of Mind entirely revealed!? I felt satisfied with Aileen''s astonishment, which quickly came into my head. It looked like I passed the sixth hurdle with ease. Chapter 101: Journeys End (3) Chapter 101: Journey''s End (3) I felt bewildered as I looked around the world of State of Mind that I could see through the Fire Dragon''s Eyes. It''s good that I passed the sixth hurdle right away, but my State of Mind was more twisted than I had expected. Whirlpool. Only whirlpools existed In this small, ck universe where heaven and earth did not exist. A small sword was stuck in the center of the numerous whirlpools, and it was shining softly. Aside from the fact that countless whirlpools had swords stuck on them, their rotational speed and luminous intensity were different. Among them, the brightly shining whirlpool only existed above. The whirlpools were scattered up and down, left and right, but as though there was a gap even between them, the size of the whirlpool grew bigger and brighter as it went up. In contrast, the whirlpool became smaller and smaller as it went down, and its light was faint, to the level of a dull lightbulb. ''I can''t even guess what it means'' Is this really the world of my State of Mind? -...You''re the first to break through the sixth hurdle immediately like this. I collected my mind to Aileen''s voice, which I totally forgot about. Come to think of it, the more time I stay in this world of State of Mind, the more time is consumed outside by the power that tweaks the flow of the time. I had to leave as soon as possible since I passed the sixth hurdle, too. -No, I lifted the power that tweaks the flow of the time So, is the time flow between the outside world and the world of State of Mind the same now? -Precisely. So there''s nothing to worry about. I don''t know what that 7 days you thought were all about, but you probably have plenty of time left. As a matter of fact, I wanted to know what this world of State of Mind was. That''s great to hear. What in the world do these whirlpools mean? Why is it that the world of State of Mind that I was suddenly able to see is full of whirlpools with swords stuck in them? And why are these whirlpools different in size and light intensity, as though they have differences from each other? -That''s probably because your desires are materialized as these whirlpools Could you please be more specific about what that means. -I suppose the sword symbolizes your obsession with martial arts, and the whirlpool symbolizes your endless desire? It somewhat sounded like she was guessing it, but it was usible. If so, does that mean that this world of State of Mind is the materialization of my desire for growth? The fact that the whirlpool gets bigger as it''s ced on the upper part and smaller as it''s ced on the lower part must be a secondary symbolism. -I didn''t just guess it! Do you think I can''t even interpret this properly when I''ve seen dozens of worlds of State of Mind as a saintess? But will this count as proof of the belief? It wasn''t difficult except that I had to see the materialized symbols of my desire to grow, though -It pisses me off a little that you''re trying to change the topic, but I''ll let you know. The proof of belief is the way to admit oneself. A way to admit oneself? -Believe it or not, People don''t really know their own beliefs, and they don''t even know what they believe and think. The goal of this hurdle was to face the state of the world, that is, the materialization of the entire process of believing, thinking, and acting. It''s unexpectedly a trial that only thought of the beliefs of the person who''s being tested, huh. -Isn''t that obvious? The proof of belief is to admit one''s weaknesses, ugliness, and to prove oneself. The trial ended by acknowledging oneself, discarding all the contradictions that acted as a protective mechanism, and ultimately proving oneselfpletely. Then doesn''t that mean I haven''t passed the trial yet? Even if I could see the world of State of Mind, there might be contradictions that act as self-recognition or protective mechanisms. -There''s none. You''re just being true to your own desires. You want to ovee your pitiful past and be stronger. But you don''t want to throw away your humanity. So, with the new mindset, you decided to fight based on that belief. Somehow, I was embarrassed as I felt like everything was exposed to a stranger, but it wasn''t wrong. During the fierce battle against Resillian, I decided to fight with this mindset and belief. This was a trial that required quite an honest proving to the extent that I doubted whether this was the same trial of proof that had urged me to fight a monster like a preliminary apostle. Being this kind all of a sudden even makes me rather anxious. -...I''m sorry, but you didn''t have to kill everyone on the proof of the body. You could''ve just run away and get through the door of the room. Please don''t hold grudges that you happened to kill everyone without knowing the intention of the trial. -...Now that you''re done facing the world of State of Mind, I''ll bring back your consciousness from the world of State of Mind. At those words, I felt a sense of drowsiness kicking in and soon closed my eyes. Now, it was time for me to return to reality and head to the seventh hurdle. *** *** Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' is d that you''ve awakened. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch lets out a sigh of relief that you''ve regained your consciousness. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World is bewildered that you woke up faster than expected. As soon as I opened my eyes, I ignored the administrator''s messages and checked my own condition first. I''d been unconscious for a while, losing control of my own body, so it was only natural that I was worried about my body. "..." I wasn''t lying on the floor, but I was standing there just like I was before entering the world of State of Mind. Moreover, my body didn''t have any signs of wounds or being restricted. However "These are the traces of what you did What do you think?" The ck mirrored room was quite different from before entering the world of State of Mind. There were signs of swords being swung everywhere, and there were even traces of Sword Ki being used. At that, I looked at Aileen sitting in the corner of the room with her lips pouted and opened my mouth. "...Don''t tell me, did I do this?" "Yeah, I thought you were about to fall, so I tried to hold you and put you on the floor, but you attacked me." "Then you stood there firm and entered the world of State of Mind while holding the sword." It seemed that I went berserk more violently than I had imagined. "I couldn''t approach you since I was scared, so I was sitting in the corner like this." "If you had told me in advance, I doubt this would''ve happened." "That''s why I said I was going to begin the sixth hurdle. That should be enough." Aileen grumbled and then took off her pose, where she was hugging her knees, and stood up from her seat. "Anyways, you passed the sixth hurdle." "Then, can I move on to the seventh hurdle now?" "You can do that if you want to. But I wouldn''t rmend it." "Why?" "No one has ever passed through the seventh hurdle alive." I giggled at her words and soon approached the door to the seventh hurdle. "I''ll be the first one to get through it alive then." "...I do understand that you have excellent martial arts and skills. But this is a separate issue from that. You might die." "I see." "...I feel like talking to myself, Seriously. I''ve never seen anyone as purely insane about growth as you are. The reason why you went through the trial of proof was probably because you wanted to grow." "..." Despite Aileen''s fed-up gaze, I smiled and didn''t respond. "Then, I''ll be going. Take care." Aileen let out a deep sigh and limply waved her hand to say goodbye. "Alright farewell, inhumane adventurer." With that sight atst, I walked down the hallway after closing the door. The mirror dyed in ck soon began to crack as I passed through the hallway. It was ominous. The sixth hurdle presented a more bizarre trial than I had imagined. And this meant that the seventh hurdle, which would be at the end, wouldn''t be normal too. Administrator Priest of the Seven Gods advises you that everything is in your mind. Administrator Seeker of Divinity looks at you with sympathy as they think of the trial you''ll soon be facing. Administrator Priest of Confession is looking forward to seeing the sins you''ll encounter. Among the administrators watching me, those who seemed to be rted to God were quite talkative. They even seemed to know to some extent what the trial of the seventh hurdle was about. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' feels saddened because she couldn''t follow the story of the administrators who serves God. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch anticipates that a serious situation will soon ur and res at the administrators who serve the God. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed World is angry, telling them to put away the stories that only they know and say it the way they could understand it. But on the contrary, the other administrators didn''t seem to know what the seventh hurdle was. It wouldn''t be an ordinary trial, judging by the other administrators who serve God. ''Anyhow, I''ll find it out when I get there.'' I calmed my anxiety down, telling myself that there was nothing to worry about, and opened the door to the seventh hurdle and stepped forward. And You''ve reached the seventh hurdle, and the God of Proof is watching you directly. Craaack! For an instant, I froze as I watched the empty air split open. An eye appeared above therge full-length mirror in the center of the ck-dyed mirrored room. This wasn''t a parable or a joke or anything. The air truly split open, and an eye with a red pupil appeared from there and stared at me. I was bewildered by that bizarre sight, but what was even more bewildering was that my body wasn''t moving. As if encountering something absolutely irresistible, my body gave up on survival. Power ''Serenity'' is sealed by the gaze of the God. I couldn''t breathe properly. Power ''Serenity'' is sealed by the gaze of the God. Administrator Priest of the Seven Gods is shocked that the God of Proof is watching. Hot blood was flowing down from my eyes likeva. Administrator Seeker of Divinity is amused by the appearance of the God of Proof. My insides felt like they were being turned over, and I felt like vomiting. Administrator ''Priest of Confession'' feels an irresistible fear and pity for your situation. Only the thought that I''d be killed filled my mind. "K-Kuhugh" The pressure and anxiety that I might die soon threw me into a daze. I was nothing but an ant in front of God''s gaze. My brain properly recognized the fact that I had be such an insignificant existence that I had no choice but to explode and die, even if I was lightly pressed with a finger as to kill the boredom. Starting with that, my body gave up on surviving on its own and prepared to face death as it was. The God of Proof recognizes the existence of the challenger Han Sungyeun.. As that message appeared, the pressure intensified, and my body lost bnce and was about to copse. However, I exerted my will and stabbed my palm with the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword held in my right hand. Stab! "Kugh" Activating the skill Ashen Blood. All pain inflicted on the user is reduced by 17% My palms were torn, and the pain relieved by the skill permeated my head. But it wasn''t enough. I immediately shook the de in my hand, tearing through my palm, even more, increasing the pain. Then I slowly released myself from the pressure through the pain and stared into the eye in the air. I sent my anger to the being that could kill me, turning me into a piece of meat in an instant. Even if it''s a God, he had no right to give me death. Even if I died here right now, I wouldn''t give up resisting. I didn''t want to be helplessly trampled on by someone, even if that''d cost my life. Ignoring any emotions, such as confusion or fear, I focused only on my anger. Otherwise, it''d be impossible for me to keep my sense. ''Dammit I''m losing consciousness'' I was nning to cut his eyes right away, even if I had to move my body forcibly if the God of Proof didn''t close his eyes just like this. In any case, this situation was a trial rted to the God of Proof. The Tower of Trials doesn''t give trials that can''t be passed at all. I wasnt sure if the seventh hurdle had already begun, but a breakthrough existed. The Tower of Trials must''ve designed it that way. Because the Tower wants the challenger toe up to the upper level ardently. With that thought imprinted in my head, I gazed into the eyes and pulled out the Heavenly Blood Demonic Sword stabbed into the palm of my left hand and aimed it. It was to kick off at any time and sh those damn eyes in an instant. But talking about the results, the situation in which I had to cut off the eyes of God didn''te. The God of Proof appreciates the spirit of challenger Han Sungyeun. The God of Proof is delighted to see a challenger with such high mental strength after a long time. The God of Proof tells you to prove yourself while looking at your confident eyes. And The God of Proof remembers the existence of challenger Han Sungyeun. Then, the eyes that floated in the air smiled with his eyes, as though he liked me. The God of Proof announces the beginning of the seventh hurdle. Soon the message came to mind, and he immediately disappeared simultaneously. At the same time, I soon had a hunch, looking at the mirror in the center of the room that was shining brightly. The proof of the spirit begins now. From now on, all skills and powers that interfere with the spirit will be sealed off. That the seventh hurdle is a real trial that could lead me to death. Chapter 102: Journeys End (4) Chapter 102: Journey''s End (4) The proof of the spirit begins now. From now on, all skills and powers that interfere with the spirit will be sealed off. I immediately fell on the floor, looking at the system message. I tried to hold on somehow by putting strength in my legs as they told me that the proof of the spirit would begin soon, but that waspletely impossible. "Huuuff" It wouldn''t be strange for me to lose consciousness anytime now, but For some reason, I was maintaining my consciousness with superhuman willpower. I had just been shown the gaze of a being I wouldn''t dare to even lift my eyes up to. I was able to figure out what it was right away by looking at the log of system messages. It was the God of Proof. The 11th-floor stage was said to be a temple where the God of Proof was served and, at the same time, a trial of proof. But I never really thought that God existed. I just wondered if God really exists because there was an unknown ability called Divine Power. However, when I directly encountered the God of Proof, I could understand why the priests worshipped the God of Proof. More like it''d be strange not to develop faith even after seeing such a thing in person. "I didn''t expect a situation toe where I should be d that I didn''t go insane." I gave a hollow smile and pushed my trembling body up. In any case, the God of Proof didn''t seem to have any intention to kill me directly. Of course, it wouldn''t be strange that he didn''t have any intention of harming me. The God of Proof sealed the power of Serenity that I possessed and knew that I was having a hard time. However, as if the God of Proof rather wanted it, it said that he thought highly of my spirit through the message. It had no spite, but the God casually drove me to the point where I could die. It was dangerous. The tower wants the challenger to climb, but that doesn''t mean it doesn''t give challengers a risk of death. It only prepares a breakthrough, and if the challenger''s skill is just around the level to die in the trial, it just lets them die. Standing face to face with the God of Proof just now was a situation in which it wouldn''t be strange for me to die. But I survived even in that atrocious situation. ''The God of Proof mentioned that it''ll remember me or something'' It was even delighted and sent apliment to the fact that I resisted till the end not to die. That would mean that the choice I just made was close to the right answer. But on the contrary, it meant that I would''ve died if I had made even just one mistake. The nape of my neck felt the chills at that fact, but I slowly regained myposure and caught my breath. But it didn''t matter. Either way, I survived, and I just needed to be strong enough to not be intimidated by the gaze of God. Thinking that was all there was to it, I felt relieved. A most suitable test of proof will be given to the challenger Han Sungyeun. Prove that your beliefs won''t change in the future as well. "..." The surface of therge mirror in the center of the room waved at the same time the system message came up. Prove that my beliefs won''t change in the future, huh When I was frowning, wondering what kind of proof would be going on. The proof of the spirit begins now. A video began to y in therge mirror in the center of the room, resembling the screen of an old television. And The assimtion level of you and yourself in the mirror is slowly increasing. After that message, I stopped breathing while watching the video ying in the mirror. Before I realized it, I was being projected on the huge mirror in the center of the room. However, my figure in the mirror wasn''tpletely the same as mine. ''Is that really me?'' It was clear that it wasn''t the current me just by looking at the long, straggled hair as if I had rolled around the battlefield dozens of times and the posture with swords in both hands. But Even so, I could immediately tell that it was me. But till now, I had never grown my hair like that, nor had I ever learned dual swordsmanship. Well, to be urate, I was thinking about whether I should learn it or not, but Just as I was about to feel the sense of difference, a sharp pain pierced my heart like a sh of light. The assimtion level of you and yourself in the mirror is forcibly increased to 10%. "...!?" My heart was beating like it was about to explode. ''What? Is this pain?'' As if I hadmitted a great sin that couldn''t be washed away, my heart was beating furiously, without stopping even for a moment. I focused on the screen in the mirror while feeling guilt, or a feeling close to insanity, seeping into me. -...If I had known it''d be like this, I should''ve crossed the line a long time ago. Then, watching the focus of the screen in the mirror gradually expand, I opened my eyes wide. Myself, in the mirror, was looking down at the city from the roof of arge building. A scene where dozens of buildings copsed and sparks flew everywhere, full of fire. And "Wh-What is this" I was horrified, looking at the scene in the mirror that was being projected, and at the same time, I realized why I was feeling guilt and insanity as though my heart would explode. -...Nice. My stats have gone up quite a bit. I guess I won''t have to worry about my skillbination for a while. In the mirror, I was absorbing the ck smoke rising from the city center with my fingertips. At first, I thought it was a cloud of smoke from the congration, but it wasn''t. "..." The ck smoke flowing into the fingertips was a sign of soul absorption through Necromancy. And what that meant was very simple. The assimtion level of you and yourself in the mirror is forcibly increased to 20%. Myself in the mirrormitted something that no one could ever forgive. Due to the unbearable mental shock, you''re now under the status effect ''Ki-Overflow''. A ridiculous atrocity called arge-scale massacre. *** *** Baaaaaarf! Even after throwing up everything inside, the spasms throughout the body wouldn''t stop. The mana circuit inside my body was overheating as if scorching my entire body with a steel wire At the same time, my heart was still beating, unable to escape from guilt and insanity. I was confused. ''What the hell is this?'' Myself in the mirror and I, standing here, are just separate people. Even if I, in the mirror,mitted a massacre, this is just some sort of illusion. Since they mentioned that this is proof of spirit, they might be testing the unfaltering mental strength. But as if that wasn''t the case, I was receiving the emotions that myself in the mirror was feeling. Not only the guilt that ran down my spine, but also the insanity that filled in the pleasure of growing up. As though this disgusting feeling was entirely mine, I couldn''t wash it away. In the torrent of emotions that pierced both of my hearts as if it really existed, I realized one thing. At least the scene shown in this mirror wasn''t just an illusion. On top of that -Prove that your beliefs won''t change in the future as well. The system message also told me to prove that my beliefs wouldn''t change in the future. If so, perhaps the one in the image in the mirror can be regarded as ''myself in the future''. ''If it''s an existence with great power like the God of Proof it should be able to show such a thing, too.'' However, I was more confused after realizing that the image in the mirror wasn''t just an illusion. On why I was using Necromancy to absorb all of the souls created in the city center through the massacre. Even if I always thought I wanted to be stronger, I shouldn''t be that reckless But I wasn''t given time to ponder about that. The proficiency of skill ''Mana Circuit'' is decreasing by 0.01% due to the status effect of Ki-Overflow. "Dammit" I was currently being penalized for the ''status effect'' that had just formed. If you can''t relieve the status effect ''Ki-Overflow'', the proficiency of skill ''Mana Circuit'' will decrease by up to 10%. Due to the overheating of the Mana Circuit and the decreasing proficiency, I had no choice but to feel extreme pain. However, as if not giving me a chance to ovee the pain, soon, a change happened in the image of the mirror. ng! The iron door on the roof of the building flew away as if it was being crushed, and a man appeared. Even though his body was covered in blood, I knew who it was as soon as I saw the hammer in his hand and a ck mask. A challenger who''s said to be the best S-rank hunter in Korea, and at the same time, a challenger that I happened to build friendships with in many ways after meeting on the 10th-floor trial. -Did you think you''d be alright after causing bullshit like this, Han Sungyeun? Lightning King. -Let me listen to your will as well as excuses now that you''ll be dying soon. It was Kim Seunghoon. Even though he was an opponent that even the current myself wouldn''t be able to avoid fatal wounds from if I faced him head-on, but In the mirror, I looked at him with a face full of boredom and scoffed. -I don''t have anything such as will or excuses. Well, if I had to mention one, then And at the same time, I, in the mirror, raised my twin swords, letting my straggled hair flutter around. -I just thought that they were useful for my growth. There''s no more or less value than that. As though I regarded the people in the city as mere stepping stones for my growth. At that, Kim Seunghoon looked at me in the mirror for a moment and then opened his mouth. -...Why are you trying to be stronger even by killing innocent people? -You should know better about that. -... -No, it''s no use talking to each other at this point. The assimtion level of you and yourself in the mirror is forcibly increased to 30%. -Because there''s nothing that can be undone aftering this far. Due to the forcible increase in the assimtion level, I received the emotions I felt in the mirror and realized something. I was feeling intense fury, forgetting about feelings of guilt or insanity. An unstoppable fury that wants to tear apart everything I can get my hands on. The proficiency of skill ''Mana circuit'' is decreasing by 0.07% due to the status effect of Ki-Overflow. Because of that, the skill proficiency of the Mana Circuit dropped even more, but ''Howe?'' More than that, I wanted to know why myself in the mirror was so furious. It was natural since I realized that this was the kind of situation I''d face in the future. -Even if you do this, the dead won''te back. It couldn''t be helped back th But before I could find out the source of that anger, myself in the mirror roared. -You better keep that mouth shut. It''s toote for you and me to go back now. -...Now that you''ve done this, the International Hunter Association will be making a move. Are you saying it doesn''t matter even so? -It doesn''t matter. Since I was nning to destroy the International Hunter Association soon, one after another. -... -There''s nothing to worry about as challengers or hunters from the Earth dimension aren''t a threat to me now. As if myself in the mirror didn''t want to have any more trivial conversation, I raised the two swords. Then, a transcendental battle urred where the two hunters, who had reached the pinnacle, fought with all their might. The building where the two were standing was split in half with a single sh, and all the buildings in the area were devastated. On top of that ''Don''t tell me Is that Namgung Hyuk''s swordsmanship.?'' As if I copied the swordsmanship Namgung Hyuk used, myself in the mirror unleashed a technique that resembled his sword. It wasn''t a skill or power but sharp techniques that seemed to have been fully learned on my own. A scene that reminded me of the battle against the Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky, Namgung Hyuk, was yed, but The difference from that time is that the technique I used in the mirror was more shy and powerful than Namgung Hyuk''s technique. As though I had surpassed Namgung Hyuk''s swordsmanship, which I had fought in the past. Of course, Kim Seunghoon also fought desperately, parrying those techniques not so badly, but it didn''t lead to victory. It was understandable. Because of the souls I absorbed through the massacre, I wouldn''t get tired using the shield from Necromancy or stamina replenishment, but On the other hand, Kim Seunghoon was thoroughly pressured without any time to recover. The battle of the hunters who had reached their pinnacles eventually ended with a disappointing result in the area of endurance. Soon, Kim Seunghoon, who waspletely deprived of the initiative in the fight, exposed his vital point, which led to his death. Kim Seunghoon, who was stabbed in the heart, fell to the ground without being able to resist much. Then, while watching the mark of Necromancy flowing out from Kim Seunghoon''s body, I muttered calmly. -As a matter of fact, I was wondering what skills and powers the Lightning King would give I guess I''ll be finding it out now. With those words at the end, the mirror screen made a static noise. And soon, the fog-like noise dissipated, and another scene appeared. However, the background this time was the center of a building that seemed to reproduce the appearance of medieval China. Dozens of Murim people gathered at the center of a building in medieval china. With their weapons pointed at a single man. -I don''t like wasting time. A man in a ck uniform with his ponytail neatly tied back spoke. I immediately noticed that the man was me. And -Call the leader of the Martial Artists'' Alliance right now. Looking at the video in the mirror, I soon realized one thing. -Then I shall spare everyone in this ce at least. Final stop. The image in the mirror dealt with the future I was about to reach. Chapter 103: Divinity (1) Chapter 103: Divinity (1) Murim Alliance. I''d heard about this organization once from the Iron-blooded Monarch. That it was arge moderatist group in the Murim dimension, and at the same time, it''s said to be rted to Namgung Hyuk, the Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky. Of course, I hadn''t heard about them other than that, nor had I ever tried to find some information. Finding out about another dimension right away came with restrictions and conditions in many ways, and there was no guarantee that I''d benefit from it even if I attained the information through hard work. I didn''t have any good feelings about them from the fact that they''d made the Namgung family, the family of Namgung Hyuk, to be the pir of the Alliance, and I almost got killed by Baek Sunhak, the elder of the Murim Alliance. However. -I''ll give you some period of grace. But fooling around will only lead you to an annihtion. My self in the mirror went beyond that level of emotion and was even saying words such as annihtion. -If the leader of the Murim Alliance doesn''te, everyone here will die. I even went so far as to intimidate them, spewing formless bloodthirst at those around me. However, the level of that bloodthirst was wilder and more violent than I could''ve imagined. A level that could easily kill a person just by pressuring the person. The proficiency of skill ''Mana Circuit'' is decreasing by 0.04% due to the status effect of Ki-Overflow. But I also felt that the overheating of my mana circuit was getting worse due to that violent bloodthirst. This was because emotions were shared with me in the mirror to some extent by the current assimtion rate. Although the loss of proficiency is still continuing to decline from 0.01% to 0.07%... If this small loss umtes, it may turn into a big snowball and turn into a failure. -K-Kuhuuugh S-Somebody has to Somebody has to call the leader! -D-Don''t be fooled! It''s no use listening to what the wicked demon is saying! -D-Do you think you can return intact even after turning the Murim Alliance into an enemy! Of course, even in the midst of this, the screen in the mirror didn''t stop, and amotion was uproaring. But it wasn''t bad to the point where I couldn''t take my eyes off it like a while ago. ''I need toe up with a solution before it''s toote.'' Due to the Trial of Proof, all skills and powers that interfere with the spirit were sealed. I had to remove the state of Ki-Overflow through other means. As I was thinking of a solution, I suddenly remembered the existence of a mirror in my pocket. Come to think of it It''s not like there was no way out of this situation at all. Mirror with the Divinity of the High Priest Rank: C+ The mirror that high priest ''Johann'' ced his divine power into, without missing a single day. You can spread a divine shield only once by consuming the divine power of the God of Proof. When you spread the divine shield, mind contamination is also restored to some extent. If the skills and powers are sealed off, then I just have to use the items. ...Perhaps the divine power of the God of Proof filled in the mirror may lead the bearer to prove their fate by themselves. I felt relieved as I took out the mirror from my pocket and immediately activated the item. The exclusive effect of the Mirror with the Divinity of the High Priest(C+) is activated. A holy shield surrounds you and removes all mind contamination of a certain level. Woooosh! In an instant, the mirror I held in my hand formed a protective barrier and then expanded its size. After a while, the size of the shield becamerge to the point where it could envelop me. And Status effect ''Ki-Overflow'' is removed. I felt the overheating of the mana circuit stop as the Ki-Overflow that was gnawing my whole body was lifted. Steel Spirit achievement unlocked. Stamina increased by 1. An achievement was unlocked by lifting up the Ki-Overflow. However, this wonderful chain reaction didn''t end there and continued one more time. The user of this item is a challenger who''s undergoing the trials given by the God of Proof. Due to the hidden exclusive effect, the trial is being adjusted to make the proving easier in trials. The rate of assimtion with you in the mirror won''t increase anymore. A hidden exclusive effect ''Don''t tell me, is this the effect of the hidden message that I saw with the Fire Dragon''s Eyes?'' -...Perhaps the divine power of the God of Proof filled in the mirror may lead the bearer to prove their fate by themselves. The hidden message seen through the Fire Dragon''s Eyes was clearly written so. Since it was said to be a hidden exclusive effect, it was probably the effect of the message I saw. The mirror obtained from the pocket of the first priest I encountered gave me more than I could''ve imagined. ''The assimtion rate that has risen so far isn''t that high.'' Of course, even with this number, I felt quite mentally shaken, but The assimtion rate, now up to 30%, couldn''t have a greater impact on me. It''s just that I was also quite shocked when myself in the mirror caused arge-scale massacre a while ago. This level of assimtion can be said to be simr to a sense of empathy or immersion. In fact, while myself in the mirror was frantically exuding bloodthirst, I waspletely unaffected by it. ''If the assimtion rate won''t rise, that much of a dangerous situation shouldn''t be happening.'' Perhaps my guess was correct. The messages from the administrators came up. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch feels a sense of relief that her contractor has passed a critical hurdle. Administrator The Hero of the Copsed Worldughs, saying that they couldn''t have even imagined the expedient that you''ve used.. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint'' rejoices that the condition of the contractor has stabilized. Maybe most of them realized that I had escaped from a dangerous situation? ''I guess the administrators really feel that I''ve escaped from danger.'' Since the administrators felt that danger had passed, it was time to focus on one thing. -...Recently, I heard that there''s a madman called Ghostde in Murim. Those who were wavering at the bloodthirst that my self in the mirror was emitting made a way to those words. A middle-aged man with a disquieting expression in a gray martial arts uniform walked through the divided crowd. It''s like he was holding back his irritation, or he''s barely restraining some kind of urge. The middle-aged man continued with a smile on his disquieting and precarious face. -Looking at you like this, I can feel that you can really be called a Ghost of the Sword. And -Nice to meet you. I''m the leader of the Murim Alliance, Lee Jin-hwan. So, what is your na At that moment when those words were about to be finished, my self in the mirror kicked off the ground without opening my mouth anymore. *** *** Through the screen in the mirror, the scene where Kim Seunghoon and myself in the future fought was repeated again. This time, not a duel with a strong person from the earth, but from another strong man in another dimension called Murim. He was a head of a group that even the Namgung family, which is said to be the family of Namgung Hyuk, the Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky, is nothing but a pir. He would never be weak, and his strength was felt even in the insane battles that took ce inside the mirror. However, it wasn''t only the process that was repeated but also the result. -...Cough. I don''t think even the Heavenly Demon was this strong, But you, you''re truly a monster. At the end of the battle that wiped out the whole area, the Murim leader Lee Jin-hwan fell t on one''s face and puked out blood. On the other hand, my self in the mirror casually brushed off the blood on the two swords. There was no sign of injury nor a disturbance in breathing. Of course, my self in the mirror was strong, but he didn''t have the pure skills to corner Lee Jin-hwan to the point of not getting tired at all. However, not showing signs of injury at all was another matter. "..." My self in the mirror once mentioned that I''d spare the members of the Murim Alliance. But it was a lie. As soon as the Murim leader Lee Jin-hwan arrived, my self in the mirror killed all the members around him. After that, I retrieved all the marks of soul absorption with my fingertips and used them in battle. So, despite the identical skill level, it led to a one-sided victory. -...How absurd. Killing even the members that you said you''d spare. Are you not even conscious of what you said? The Murim leader Lee Jin-hwan, who was lying on the floor and bleeding, also said so as if he was dumbfounded, but -If the people who listened to it disappear, you''ll be able to take back what you said needlessly. On the contrary, my self in the mirror responded with a smirk. And -All my sickening ill-fated rtionship with the sect of Heavenly Demon, Heishehui, and the Murim Alliance. It all ends here. -What? What do you. D-Don''t tell me, the mad beast who killed the Heavenly Demon and the Lord of Heishehui was! aash! Then, the neck of the Murim leader Lee Jin-hwan, who distorted his face in shock, soared into the sky. It was a monster-like move that didn''t show any humanity, but Even then, as if my self in the mirror was used to it, I turned around after absorbing the soul of the leader of the Murim Alliance. As though this level of genocide wouldn''t stir up my emotions. Bzzzt. Immediately after that, the perspective of the screen in the mirror changed, and I saw myself fighting in countless dimensions. shing down dozens, hundreds, and thousands of enemies and growing stronger without end, I was in a state like a monster, soaked in madness, yearning only for growth. Over dozens of times, the screen in the mirror changed, and appearance also changed in the mirror. But there was one thing that didn''t change. "He''s a damn insanely strong bastard" In the mirror, my self in the future, whomits an endless massacre, was never defeated. It didn''t just apply to fights between individuals. Religion. -...I''ll curse you! To all the Gods of Ares, I, the Pope, will pray for your death! Nation. -P-Please stop already Didn''t you kill all the people of mine, the King? Please, spare me at least Dimension. -N-No way Why is a bastard who has conquered the Murim dimensioning to such a small dimension like th.! The stronger the opponent, the stronger I''d be after defeating them. But as time passed, the madness my self in the mirror felt grew thicker and deeper. Before I knew it, seeing the scene of endless battles and massacres made me feel goosebumps from the fact that such an insane yer was my future, and I somehow understood the purpose of the trial. "If it was the way it was originally, does that mean I should''vepletely assimted with this madman''s spirit?" I could see why this was a trial with the grandiose title of proof of spirit. Even just the assimtion that had only risen to 30% made me feel great pain welling up. And if this assimtion rate increased as time passed, at the end ''I''d go insane.'' I''d never be able to face the end of the trial in a normal state. Perhaps it could be called worse than the trial of fighting for one''s life. Because it meant that what remained at the end of this trial was either the death of the physical body or the death of the spirit. However, I escaped the Ki-Overflow and even suppressed the rise of the assimtion rate by using the ''Mirror with the Divinity of the High Priest(C+)'' Whats painful is painful, but either way, I was able to endure this much to some extent. Administrator Seeker of Divinity is bewildered that you''ve passed the trial in an expedient way that they never thought of. Administrator Priest of Confession'' expresses surprise at the fact that you''re maintaining the state of not bing insane. Administrator ''Gluttony''ins and expresses frustration, saying he wants to see what you''re looking at in the mirror. It looks like even the administrators didn''t imagine that I''d pass the trial like this. And on top of that, the administrators didn''t seem to be able to see what I was seeing in the mirror. ''Unexpectedly, looks like the administrators have a lot of limitations in observing the trials, too.'' Of course, I wouldn''t want to show all of this scene, so it was to my advantage that it wasn''t revealed. I collected myself, ignoring the administrators'' messages, and red at the scene in the mirror. Because I thought maybe I could find out why I became such an insane bastard. However, as time passed, perhaps the stimting content ran out already, it only showed evil deeds that seemed insignificant, unlike a while ago. Such as killing an unknown street delinquent and absorbing their soul As such impactless killing scenes continued, it became easier to collect myself. Now, the key would be how well I can manage my mental strength and endure it. However ''If the sights the trial show is just at this level now, there wouldn''t be any big surprises.'' As a matter of fact, the oue of this endurance battle was pretty obvious. *** I wonder how many trivial scenes have been yed on the screen in the mirror? You''ve proven that your beliefs didn''t change. The trial was over as I was looking at the screen in the mirror, trying to remain calm. The proof of the spirit ends now For a trial that caused rm in regard to my life, it ended more ndly than I expected. It''s not like I wasnt suspicious if it''s actually over or not, but This time around, I passed because I was really lucky, so the fact that I passed didn''t feelpletely unrealistic. ''If I hadn''t picked up the mirror in the beginning, I''d have died abruptly, honestly.'' I only survived because I brought the mirror of the dead priest at the beginning of the trial. If I had met the proof of the spirit without any preparation, I would''ve died in all probability. It was then that I slowly forced my body to stand up from my seat, which had reached its limit. The God of Proof feels satisfied with the Proof of challenger Han Sungyeun. The God of Proof wants to see the challenger Han Sungyeun in person. The God of Proof forcibly summons the challenger Han Sungyeun to the Divine Sanctuary. "...!?" Instead of the message saying that I''d cleared the trial, the message that the God of Proof was summoning me came up. I went to the point of death just by making eye contact once, and now I wa being summoned to the realm of God? ''What kind of nonsense is this'' I felt a strong reluctance and immediately readied myself, but The God of Proof consumes divine power on the Tower of Trials to obtain temporary authority. Observation of the trials by all administrators rted to challenger Han Sungyeun will be forcibly stopped. As if all of that were meaningless, I immediately felt my body floating up. I tried to resist it, but soon the divine shield that was spread around me tightened me, as though pressuring me. Yes. This entire shield of Divinity was created by the divine power bestowed by the God of Proof. Since I didn''t create it myself, I obviously couldn''t control it. "Huff." It was when I was feeling a sense of despair at that fact The Tower of Trials permits the summoning of challenger Han Sungyeun as long as his personal safety is secured. I opened my eyes widely as I saw a message I hadn''t even thought of. ''Personal safety?'' Could it be that they can ensure my safety against a God? Not to mention that I saw the message that the God of Proof just obtained temporary authority As of now, there were not many messages that I could understand properly. But. The Tower of Trial delivers its will that it''s looking forward to the challenger Han Sugnyeun. From the message that followed up, I realized one thing for sure. ''The Tower of Trials recognizes me...!??'' The Tower of Trials wasn''t something that even Gods could easily deal with. And now that I was the one that the Tower of Trials was paying attention to. Entering the Divine Sanctuary of the Proving One. With that thought in my mind, the surrounding environment changed in an instant as if it was spinning. [Hmm? What? Are you? Why do I feel Divinity in you?] And soon, I felt my throat burn at the majestic voice that resounded in my head. There was no pressure, and unlike before, it wasnt conveying the meaning through system messages, but ''I can feel it This is the God of Proof.'' I could see that it was the God of Proof that was talking to me right now. I was really forcibly summoned to the realm of God. Dammit. Chapter 104: Divinity (2) Chapter 104: Divinity (2) The fear of having been summoned into a God''s territory onlysted for a few moments. -The Tower of Trials has epted challenger Han Sungyeun to be summoned as long as his safety is guaranteed. ording to the message I just got, the Tower of Trials had epted me to be summoned as long as I remained safe. That meant the God of Proof wouldn''t be able to harm me, probably. ''Let''s calm down.'' I turned my head and began looking around. The sky seemed very light, as if I were right under the clouds. The floor, which was made of a mirror that reflected the sky, created a scenery that looked as if two skies were touching each other. Should I say that it really felt like a God''s territory? But I wasn''t given time to look around in more detail. [You look more foreign in person. Are you also a pseudo-divine being created by the Tower?] The God of Proof, who had been silent, started talking to my head again. ''Pseudo-divine?'' I wasn''t sure what he was talking about, so I expressed my doubt. "I''m not sure what a pseudo-divine being is" [Pseudo-divine beings are the ones who are called let me see. Administrators? I''m asking if you''re a being who has obtained Divinity after making a contract with the Tower.] I wasn''t sure why he was saying the Administrators were pseudo-divine beings, but... If he was asking whether I was an Administrator or not, the answer was simple. "I''m not an Administrator. I''m still a challenger who''s climbing up the Tower." [You''re definitely... different from a pseudo-divine being. Your Divinity inside is wholly yours.] "...?" [It seems like things have be quite interesting while I wasn''t looking at it. Has it finally learned that it couldn''t create a ''real'' one with a pseudo-divinity...?] "..." [Making someone a disciple of a pseudo-divine being to create a ''real'' one... So that''s what happened. I understand. So you weren''t a normal being, challenger Han Sungyeun.] "What does that" It seemed like the God of Proof had misunderstood a few things. He was saying something about Divinity or whatever. But, in short, it seemed like the Divinity I had was a problem. ''The Divinity I''ve obtained after killing Kairan is so impressive...?'' It seemed like the power of the Divinity I''d obtained after killing a reserve disciple was quite significant. But I didn''t know how to use that Divinity, and I wasn''t sure if it was that important. After thinking about it for a while, I slowly opened my mouth. "Can I ask you something...?" [...?] "What''s Divinity, and why are you talking as if its so important?" [I thought you''d ask about your future self you''d seen through the Trials, but you ended up asking something strange... You''ve obtained Divinity on your own, yet you don''t know what that is? Didn''t you finish the process of eliminating the traces of a God because you know what that is?] I didn''t eliminate it because I knew what I was doing. It was a side-effect of a power. So I obviously didn''t know anything. I silentlyined to myself, but I ended up learning that the Divinity I had obtained from Kairan was pretty significant. I wasn''t sure what not having the traces of a God meant, but it might be useful once I learned how to use Divinity... ''The disciples that used Divinity were quite strong.'' I was thinking that when the God of Proof said in disbelief. [It seems like you don''t know what Divinity is] "I just ended up acquiring it" [You just ended up, huh? Was it a coincidence that you erased the traces that a fake God created by the Tower had given to its Disciple and absorbed it?] "..." [Even if you weren''t aware of it, you taking out Kairan''s Divinity wasn''t a coincidence. I can feel a causality.] Causality? ''What''s he talking about?'' Divinity and causality. Something not being a coincidence... I was frowning while thinking about those words when I heard the voice again. [I made a mistake Seeing the Tower get angry, it seems like this was something I shouldn''t have revealed to you.] "Huh? What does that?" [This is a goodbye. Challenger Han Sungyeun, I''ll be following your doings from the outside.] "Can''t you give me more details?" After seeing the space around me get distorted, I realized the answer to that question. The God of Proof has used all of the Divinity selected, so he has temporarily lost his power. You''re going to return from the territory of the Gods to your original space. The God of Proof couldn''t keep me here any longer. I still had things I wanted to ask. But to make me return now To be honest, I had barely been able to talk with him. But if I had to return now, rather than getting answers, I would go back with more questions. I wanted to ask why my future self had be like that, what Divinity was, and what he meant by causality. [Yes. It doesn''t matter what God is. The Tower is a being we can''t easily deal with. So there''s nothing I can do about it.] I was about to open my mouth after my surroundings became blurry... Even if I moved my mouth, there wasn''t any sounding out of it. [If youe to the ''Temple of Proof'' that''s in Ares, I might be able to answer some of your questions.] It was as if someone was blocking me from asking any questions. [Ah, let me give you onest piece of advice...] And [Don''t trust any God that''s in Ares. They''re going to think of you as their enemy now.] After hearing those words, I returned to the original ce where I was. I returned to the weird space that was made with a ck mirror and had a huge mirror in the middle of it. Congrattions. You''vepleted the Tower of Trial''s 11th floor. I had returned to the Tower of Trials. *** *** After returning to the Tower, I felt aplex mixture of emotions. It was a sense of heaviness because of the curiosity I was feeling. It wasn''t a negative or positive feeling I sighed at those emotions. The 11th floor''s trial made me achieve progress that couldn''t bepared to before. But what was left after the 11th floor''s trial was an endless amount of questions. Congrattions, you''ve cleared the 11th floor''s trial. As a reward for clearing it, you''ve obtained the ''Rusty Mirror of Proof (S-). You''ve obtained ''70.000 points'' as a reward. You''ve obtained ''3.000 SP'' as a reward. You''ve obtained ''1.500 SP'' as a reward. Move to the waiting room. Before I could answer those doubts, the trial of the 11th floor reached an end. When you return to the waiting room, the Administrator''s limited capacity to observe is going to be restored. "..." I stood thinking while ignoring the system messages. God. Someone who seemed beyond everything had appeared beside me and said to me That it wasn''t a coincidence that I was able to take out the reserve disciple Kairan''s Divinity; he also said he''d felt a clear causality. After thinking about what causality meant, I was able to find an answer. It was the Tower that had let me get a unique attribute. And the power extraction judgment was also something that was a part of the system. That meant the Tower could manage the system. Me having extracted the Divinity and obtained a power was something that happened because the Tower wished so. ''That''s probably why he said he could feel a causality.'' Of course, I still wasn''t sure what Divinity was. I understood that the Tower made me extract Divinity from Kairan... But I wasn''t sure why it had made me use a power to obtain Divinity. Not only that, but the God of Proof said that me bing a disciple of an administrator was something the Tower had intended. Let''s say that those things happened because the Tower intended so. ''Then, what''s the goal of the Tower...?'' But I couldn''t think of a reason why the Tower would do such a thing. After wondering about that for a while, I began thinking of the main keywords of what I had just heard. Maybe thinking about the keywords could help me find an answer. "Pseudo-divinity... Divinity... Administrator... Making a ''real'' one..." The Tower was an entity not even Gods could tamper with. The administrators had the alias of pseudo-divine beings. No, maybe they were called pseudo-divine beings, and administrator was an alias created by the Tower. Then, what did it mean that the Tower was trying to create a ''real'' one...? "I''m not sure." It wasn''t that I couldn''t think of anything. But I couldn''t be sure yet. But... ''At least I know the Tower isn''t trying to harm me.'' Of course, I''d been close to dying while doing the trials. But it wasn''t that the Tower had deceived me or had done something to exploit me. It had just induced me to climb up the Tower if I wanted to get answers and be stronger. When the God of Proof forcibly summoned me, the Tower prioritized my well-being first. ''The Tower probably wants to use me to achieve something, but...'' Even if that were the case, I didn''t think it would be detrimental to me. After finishing ordering my thoughts, I walked toward the portal that had appeared in the middle of the room. There was nothing free in this world anyway. Just as I wished to climb the Tower to get stronger, there was something the Tower was expecting from me too. The more I climbed the Tower of Trials, the more higher-level answers I got. I also thought that these were things I could get an answer to from the administrator by using the right to ask a question. ''I guess I could get an answer to these kinds of questions by climbing the Tower.'' But there was still one doubt I couldn''t grasp the reason. ''Not to trust the Gods...'' He said that other Gods were going to consider me an ''enemy.'' I thought my only enemies were the challengers from other dimensions I''d met while climbing the Tower. They weren''t. ''The God of Proof said I should think of the other Gods as my enemies.'' After clearing the 11th floor''s trial, I gained a positive opinion of the God of Proof. ''It probably won''t be permanent... but until just now, he had a positive opinion of me.'' Through a short conversation, the God of Proof taught me many things. Most of the things about pseudo-divinity sounded legitimate, so what he said about other Gods feeling animosity toward me was probably true. Ah, but that didn''t mean Ipletely trusted his words. ''It isn''t that I don''t trust him at all. But...'' He hasn''t told me why Gods I''ve never met before felt animosity toward me. But it was hard to trust what the God of Proof saidpletely. Even if I trusted him, and it was true that there were Gods that felt animosity toward me, nothing would change for the moment. ''Even if they don''t like me, as long as I have the protection of the Tower, they won''t be able to do anything.'' The God of Proof had to get the permission of the Tower to summon me, so I was sure of that. I knew that I didn''t need to tremble while fearing a God. So that''s why I decided to stop thinking aboutplex things for a while. You''ve entered the waiting room of the 12th floor. I must stop thinking about these things. It was now time to prepare to face a new trial. Chapter 105: Divinity (3) Chapter 105: Divinity (3) Entering the waiting room of the 12th floor. Challenger Han Sungyeun''s trial observation restriction has been lifted. The system is expanding. Earth has been registered as an official climbing dimension of the Tower of Trials. As a benefit of being registered as an official dimension, it will be partially protected from dimensional invasion. Now, beings from other dimensions will have a penalty while moving to Earth. As a benefit of being registered as an official climbing dimension, other people besides the challenger can obtain a halo. "..." As I returned to the waiting room, I received numerous messages saying the system had expanded. "Registered as an official climbing dimension..." Did that mean it was now at the same level as Ares or Murim? Anyway, the system expansion was, for me, a huge benefit. ''Since it''s a small dimension, it was quite bad in terms of invading other dimensions...'' Now, challengers from other worlds like Namgung Hyuk wouldn''t be able toe to Earth easily. Up until that point, there wasn''t any penalty. But now that it had been registered as an ''official climbing dimension,'' it would start being protected from invasions. I was feeling relieved when new messages began appearing. Administrator ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' looks at the contractor that has returned and asks if he''s safe. Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' is checking out the contractor''s state with teary eyes. This time it wasn''t dull system messages but ones from the administrator. It was at that moment when what the God of Proof had said passed through my mind. -Pseudo-divinity. I mean, ording to thenguage of the Tower ''administrators''? I wondered if they were beings that had obtained a pseudo-divinity after making a contract with the Tower. That''s right. The administrators that were worried about my status were some kind of Gods. Although ording to the God of Proof, they weren''t real gods, but rather beings that had obtained a pseudo-divinity... But still, it didn''t change the fact that the administrators had a kind of divinity inside them. ording to what I''d heard in the Temple of Proof, the system that let me buy the powers, which were the administrator''s abilities, was most likely ''God''s Power.'' ''Taking that into consideration, what the God of Proof had said about the administrators being entities with pseudo-divinity isn''t a lie.'' While I was at the Tower''s beginning, I wondered whether the administrators were really Gods or not. ''But the situation haspletely changed from that time.'' Now I know that the Tower is a kind of high-conscious entity. Even if they were pseudo-divine beings, to think they could resurrect the challengers with their divinity... Not even Gods could easily deal with this Tower. Why had this Tower created the administrator, and why was it raising challengers? And ''What is it trying to do by making the challengers reach the top of the Tower?'' I began wondering about why the Tower of Trials was making the challengers try to reach the end of the Tower. Of course, this wasn''t something I could find an answer to, no matter how much I thought about it. So Administrator ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' is inviting you to the territory of the administrators. I will figure out the truth, little by little. For the Me that''s going to reach the end of the Tower. * * * What I saw as he opened my eyes was a white sword graveyard. One of the two invitations I''d just received was from the administrator, Iron-blooded Monarch.'' The Iron-blooded Monarch was the first being who''d made a contract with me. She was also the administrator who had made an apostle contract with me. If there was something I wanted to know, I should ask her first. Probably. "..." Entering the Iron-blooded World. I''d gotten used a bit to the territory of the administrators, but now I found it weird. ''Maybe the territory of the administrator is, in theory, simr to the territory of God?'' Maybe it''s because I''d learned that administrators are pseudo-divine beings... But I''d started associating everything rted to the administrators with God. I stopped thinking about those things and walked through the garden full of snow and entered a hut. And "Han Sungyeun!" The moment I entered the hut, the ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' came walking toward me. The ''Iron-blooded Monarch'', who came with her hair fluttering, was in an excited state. "Are you hurt...?! Didn''t the God of Proof put a curse upon you!?" The Iron-blooded Monarch was someone who always looked calm... But it seemed like after hearing that someone who''d made a contract with her had been forcibly summoned by God, shed been worrying. After seeing her reaction, I felt my doubts be diluted. I thought the Iron-blooded Monarch would interrogate me. But seeing her worried this much about me made my negative emotions blur out. I was feeling confused after seeing an unexpected side of her. "Ah... Something like that didn''t happen." "...Are you telling me the truth? You aren''t hiding anything from me?" "No, why would I hide something like that?" There wasn''t even time to be cursed. The God of Proof just talked to me without even showing himself. Not only that, but the meeting only took a short time. I told that to the Iron-blooded Monarch. "The God of Proof just talked with me." "...Well, I guess not even the God of Proof can do anything to a challenger inside the Tower." The Iron-blooded Monarch calmed down after I exined things to her. "Ehem... Anyway, I''m d you aren''t hurt." The Iron-blooded Monarch blushed. Then she turned around and sat in the chair in front of the table. "You''re probably going to have a hard time exining things while standing up, so take a seat and continue." The office resembled a cabin from the middle ages, so it went very well with the Iron-blooded Monarch. "Okay." I nodded and sat on the sofa that was next to the table. As I did that, the Iron-blooded Monarch frowned and looked at me in disbelief. "You''ve shown a scarily impressive growth rate... but to think that a God would show interest." I opened my mouth after seeing her reaction, as if she really hadn''t expected the God of Proof to intervene. "Do Gods not intervene in the trials?" "In most cases, yes. It''s just that this was a special case." "..." "Usually, Gods from other dimensions have a hard time trying to see what''s going on in the Tower." "Then why did he summon me to God''s territory after analyzing me?" "Because the ce of the trial was the temple of the God of Proof... Although it was a replica, that doesn''t mean that a God can''t exercise his strength in his own temple." "I see. So he was able to exercise influence because it happened in his temple." *** *** With that, I was able to solve most of the doubts I had. A God interfering in a trial, like what happened on the 11th floor, was a special case. Gods probably wouldn''t be able to interfere in future trials. I nodded and looked at the Iron-blooded Monarch. "There''s something I wanted to ask... Is that okay?" I had answered a few doubts I had, so I decided to talk about the main topic. "Obviously You''re quite careful, considering we made a disciple contract. You can treat me morefortably" The Iron-blooded Monarch agreed while making an expression that made it seem like she didn''t like that. ''What should I ask...'' To be honest, there were numerous things I wanted to ask. Why did the Tower of Trials send me a message saying that it had high hopes for me as if it were an intelligent being? Why did the Tower of Trials create the administrators pseudo-divine beings to raise challengers? Why did the God of Proof say that other Gods would start having animosity toward me now? There were many other questions I had But among all those questions, there was something I had to ask first. "Did you know that the Tower is trying to make me achieve something through you?" * * * At the end of the 11th floor''s trial, the God or Proof had said to me -To create a ''real'' by bing a disciple of a pseudo-divine being... So that''s what happened. I see... Challenger Han Sungyeun, so you weren''t a normal being. The God of Proof said that as if I were a special being who was being raised through an administrator. I wasn''t sure what the ''real'' I heard that time meant But if there''s something I became sure about was that the Tower was trying to make me achieve something through an administrator. Because of that, I thought of a certain possibility. ''That something is if the administrator Iron-blooded Monarch and the administrator White Crane Sword Saint aren''t deceiving me.'' Of course, both administrators had a good opinion of me. But thinking that maybe the reason behind that was because of the Tower''s intentions made me a bit ufortable. So that''s why I didn''t hesitate and asked them directly. If they knew about the Tower''s intentions and had been acting dumb until this point while deceiving me. And "Are you asking if the Tower is expecting something from the challengers through the administrators?" The Iron-blooded Monarch narrowed her eyes as if she couldn''t understand my question. "It isnt something grand like that. I just wanted to know if there''s something it wants from me." "I don''t know. No, in the first ce. There''s no way the Tower wants something from an individual challenger." "?" "No one knows the intentions of the Tower. That''s also the case for me, an administrator." "Then, the Tower wanting something from me..." "It''s something that can''t be true. Up until this point, the Tower has never revealed its goals to a challenger." After saying that, the Iron-blooded Monarch kept talking while touching her soft chin. "So there''s no way the Tower is expecting something from a certain challenger." But I definitely felt that there was something the Tower wanted from me. ''There''s no way all of that was a lie.'' The Tower had said it had high hopes for me, and the God of Proof had reacted as if he found that funny. Most of the things the God of Proof said were probably true. It seemed like the Iron-blooded Monarch read my expression, so she opened her mouth again before I could say anything. "But seeing you talk like that I guess you''ve heard something from someone." "Yes. The God or Proof said that it thought the Tower wanted something from me." "God...! As expected, so that''s why you''ve asked me that...!" The Iron-blooded Monarch looked at me with her eyes wide open. "Leaving aside the intention of the Tower, I didn''t receive any indication as an administrator..." "So you didn''t know that there''s something the Tower wants from me?" "Yes. After all, most administrators just follow the Tower''s indications silently. "..." "I think I know why you''re asking me that... I''m also a subordinate of the Tower. But that isn''t something I know." "I see..." I was relieved and a bit disappointed at the same time. If administrators knew more about the Tower, I might have been able to answer my doubts easier. Of course, I left such disappointments behind and asked other questions I had. "Now that I think about it, the God of Proof said that administrators are beings that have signed a contract with the Tower and have obtained pseudo-divinity. What does that mean?" "Pseudo-divinity... It''s some sort of immortality. You use the title given to you by the Tower as your God name and be an entity simr to a God." "..." "It''s used to revive the challengers that died. Although it''s called pseudo-divinity, it can''t bepared to real divinity." "Then, could I also get immortality?" "I''m going to say you can''t. The divinity inside you doesn''t have the requirements to obtain immortality. Unless you sign a contract with the Tower, you won''t be able to get it." After hearing the exnation from the administrator, I realized that the pseudo-divinity wasn''t actually that impressive. ''Leaving the immortality factor aside, it doesn''t seem to have much difference from a normal challenger.'' Of course, being immortal by itself is a huge merit, but... The God of Proof had almost killed me just by looking at me. Not only that, but he had used his divine power to summon me to God''s territory. Considering those things, I realized there was a huge difference between real divinity and pseudo-divinity. I nodded and opened my mouth while making a serious expression on my face. "Then, there''s onest thing I wanted to ask..." "What is it?" "Didn''t you say there''s a wish you wanted to realize?" "Yes..." "The administrator White Crane Sword Saint said that''s something the Tower gave administrators." "..." "He said that administrators can achieve through the challengers what they wish." "I see... so that guy has already talked about this." The Iron-blooded Monarch smiled bitterly while looking at me. "Why didn''t you tell me about that?" Unlike the questions I asked before, this was just because of curiosity. Why had the Iron-blooded Monarch had hidden it from him, unlike the White Crane Sword Saint. ''Seeing her reaction, it seems like she didn''t intend to hide it from me...'' After a short silence, the Iron-blooded Monarch exined it to me. "The reason I didn''t tell you about that is that I was afraid..." She said while smiling bitterly. I couldn''t believe what I was hearing. Afraid? "What does that..." "You underestimate yourself too much and are obsessing too much about growing." "...?" "I thought you might fly like a fire moth to the trials to grow forcibly." "You were scared about that...?" The Iron-blooded Monarch nodded while blushing, which wasn''t something that suited her. ''Even if I obsess too much about growth, that''s...'' It seemed like everyone saw me as a crazy person obsessed with growth. But I didn''t think I was trying too hard to achieve growth. I just did enough so I wouldn''t get killed. And the fact I was here without having died was evidence for that. When I said my honest thoughts, the Iron-blooded Monarch frowned and denied it. "That line of thought is dangerous. Saying that it''s okay because you''re only trying enough so you don''t get killed. Unknowingly, you''ve been pushing yourself to the edge." I couldn''t help but agree with those words. But still, I didn''t agree with everything. "That might be true... but I don''t have talent." "..." "If I try hard enough only within safe parameters, I won''t grow fast." "You thinking that is the problem. You don''t have talent? Out of the question.." "...?" I had to wonder, what was she talking about while frowning like that? "I''m not sure what you think talent is but soon, you''re going to realize that you''ve underestimated yourself too much." The Iron-blooded Monarch said with a sharp voice. "Because" She even "The trial of the 12th floor is a fight against yourself." told me details about the trial of the 12th floor. Chapter 106: Real Talent (1) Chapter 106: Real Talent (1) You''ve entered the waiting room on the 12th floor. I was standing still with my eyes narrowly open after returning from talking with the Iron-blooded Monarch. It didn''t matter how much I thought about it. I couldn''t believe what the Iron-blooded Monarch told me. - You have talent. And one that''s strong enough to make your ambitionse true. I''d used the right to ask questions to obtain more details about the 12th floor. And that''s what the Iron-blooded Monarch told me when I was about to return to the waiting room. "..." Talent. Talent was something given to you by the heavens that couldn''t be obtained even with effort. Skill acquisition aptitude. Stat increase aptitude. Attribute bloom aptitude. After awakening as a yer, people obtain these 3 aptitudes. People often call these the 3 qualities of a hunter. Other things weren''t considered a talent. Your physical capabilities or battle sense could be covered with a skill or an attribute. You could even obtain battle techniques with skills. If you left these 3 things aside, the other things weren''t at a level that could be called talent. Talent is something you cannot ovee with effort. It''s something that''s decided from the beginning. And ''I wasn''t born with any of those.'' Beforeing to the Tower of Trials, I was a yer who didn''t have those qualities at all. I wasn''t able to obtain a skill, my stats didn''t increase, and I wasn''t able to obtain an innate ability. If we took aside that I had awakened, I didn''t have any trait that would make people consider me a yer. Someone like me has talent...? There''s no way that was true. ''The Iron-blooded Monarch has probably misunderstood something. And that''s why she thinks I have talent.'' If I had something like that, I would''ve probably been able to be a famous hunter withouting to the Tower. But the reality was harsh. I was able to obtain those only after I came to the Tower. And that was possible because the Tower awakened those inside me as a reward forpleting the tutorial trial. Taking those things into consideration, the correct thing to say was that I didn''t have talent "..." Up until this point, the Iron-blooded Monarch hadn''t said anything that could harm me. I''m sure she hadn''t said that just for the sake of saying it, but I couldn''t understand why she said I have talent. I thought about it for a while but ended up reaching the same conclusion. ''It doesn''t matter how much I think about it. I''m going to reach the same conclusion.'' But Now, it was time to prepare for the trial of the 12th floor. ording to what I heard by using a question right from the Iron-blooded Monarch, the trial on the 12th floor was a fight against yourself. This wasn''t something said metaphorically. The Tower really created a copy of yourself, and you had to win a fight against it. Was it going to be something more simr than the doppelganger he''d faced in the trial of the 3rd floor? It would be a fight against someone with the same unique attribute, skills, and stats. But... The copy wouldn''t stop there. But it would also copy his experience. That meant... ''My copy will know all of my possible strategies.'' Not only that, but the Iron-blooded Monarch said that it was also going to copy my talent. To make things worse, he would be able to use effectively talent he didn''t even know he had. While fighting, it might learn a skill through an awakening, or his stats might increase. ''If that happens, the difficulty would increase and be horrible.'' But he didn''t have a talent for learning skills or stat increase. I probably wouldn''t have to worry about my clone bing stronger during battle. The Iron-blooded Monarch said it would copy only one of my items, and its rank would go down by 1. ''Not having item advantage will probably be the decisive thing that will let me have an easy win.'' It was obvious that I would think I''d be able to ovee the trial of the 12th floor easily. But this trial was to test my strength rationally. Going up floors without doing much because of fear of your copied self? That was like not using the 12th trial correctly. It was the perfect opportunity to get an objective view of your fighting capabilities, usage of skills, and other things that could help you grow. So trying to clear it as easily as possible was dumb. Most people would avoid choosing the hard difficulty and choose the easy one while doing the trial of the 12th floor. ''I''m going to take this opportunity to get a more realistic view of my fighting capabilities and improve them.'' I took out the inventory and took out the potions that increased the skill proficiency rate. Skill Proficiency Potion Rank: C+ A special potion created by the Tower for those that have skills. After using it, you can increase the proficiency of a skill by 10%. Catherine gave me in total three skill proficiency potions. Each increased your proficiency rate by 10%. So I could increase it by 30% in total. ''Using it separately wouldn''t be a bad choice... But it isn''t effective.'' The potion didn''t increase the proficiency a lot, so using it in different skills wasn''t very effective. After deciding that, I opened the status window and picked a skill in which I''d invest the skill proficiency potions. *** *** You''ve consumed a Skill Proficiency Potion (C+) Choose the skill you would like to increase the proficiency of. Then he picked the skill he would invest the skill proficiency potions. "Mana Management." Selection finished. Challenger Han SungYoon''s skill ''Mana Management (A-)'' skill proficiency is increasing by 10%. Challenger Han SungYoon''s skill ''Mana Management (A-)'' skill proficiency is increasing by 10%. Challenger Han SungYoon''s skill ''Mana Management (A-)'' skill proficiency is increasing by 10%. This skill he had obtained after hunting the Darkness Snake in the 10th floor''s trial was very important. The sword techniques were techniques that used mana management. And this skill lets you use them more effectively. ''If I increase its efficiency and its rank, maybe I''m going to be able to use mana management in a new way.'' Of course, I still hadn''t achieved that realization, so I couldn''t increase its ranking yet Either by obtaining more skill proficiency potions or reaching a realization, I thought I''d be able to increase its ranking. "..." I silently made the mana run through my body. ''The mana runs more smoothly now.'' After feeling that the mana management had be smoother, I opened my eyes, satisfied. The level of Mana Management has increased, and mana attribute blooming has been generated. Because of the influence of ''Ne of Thunder God Worshiper (A)'', a thunder-type mana attribute is blooming. At the same time, the effect of the ''Ne of Thunder God Worshiper'' activated. Bzzt...! As if it were announcing to me that a mana attribute had blossomed, lightning bolts started to bounce around my body. Iughed in disbelief at the unexpected mana attribute blooming. ''Something like this can happen when you improve the mana management?'' I had forgotten that I had an item like this. You were able to unlock a mana attribute, but there was no way to know when you''d unlock it. So I hadn''t been caring about it too much. "That was lucky. There''s nothing bad to getting a mana attribute." Of course, using it correctly would take some time. ''I guess it''s a huge achievement for the moment, having been able to unlock a mana attribute.'' While thinking about what I should do, I remembered the reward of the trial of the 11th floor. "Was it called Rusty Mirror of Proof?" After thinking about it for a while, I took out the Rusty Mirror of Proof. Although it had a minus, it was the first S-rank item I had obtained. I thought that I should at least check out what effect it had. Rusty Mirror of Proof Rank: S- A mirror that can be received only by those that have correctly fulfilled the trial given by the God of Proof. If you put mana in the mirror, you can use its unique effect, ''Residual Thoughts,'' once. "What? Is that all?" I couldn''t believe what I was reading. To think that the reward I''d obtained after so much effort was something like this I felt disappointed, but I realized not everything was as it seemed at first nce. ''No, I can''t be sure yet.'' There might be some hidden message in the mirror, so I activated the Fire Dragon Core. The skill ''Fire Dragon Core'' has been activated. And You can use the skill inside ''Residual Thoughts'' once... But the user cannot choose the skill inside ''Residual Thoughts.'' The God of Proof has especially changed its effect for one challenger I sighed in relief after seeing the hidden message. ''I''m not sure what the effect of Residual Thoughts is, but it''s probably a good one.'' Not only that, but it said that I could obtain a skill inside ''Residual Thoughts,'' so it was a satisfying result. I could fuse skills, so the more skills I obtained, the more my possible selection choices would increase. Even if I faced myself on the 12th floor, that wouldn''t change. I used mana while looking at the old and rusty Mirror of Proof, which looked like a handheld mirror. The effect of Rusty Mirror of Proof (S-) ''Residual Thoughts'' has been activated. I could see the blurry look of a certain man passing through the mirror. It was someone I''d seen at thest part of the trial of the 11th floor''s trial. It was the person who''d tested the limits of my mental capabilities and caused a massive annihtion inside the mirror. ''Me?'' Don''t tell me that the Residual Thought that''s inside the Rusty Mirror of Proof is... The skill of Rusty Mirror of Proof (S-) ''Residual Thoughts'' has activated, and you''re going to obtain a skill that''s inside the ''Residual Thoughts.'' Is it the future me I''ve seen? ''What kind of nonsense is this But before I could keep thinking about that, my reflection inside the mirror disappeared. You''ve obtained the skill ''Battle Concentration (A+).'' You''ve gained the battle experience of the skill ''Battle Concentration (A+)'' from inside the Residual Thoughts. I just kept looking at the system messages. "..." I couldn''t see myself in the mirror anymore. I tried to put in mana one more time, but there was no difference from before. Not only that, but now, I couldn''t see the hidden message anymore. ''The God of Proof changing part of its effect Was it referring to this?'' I wasn''t sure what its original effect was. But this Residual Thoughts were definitely mine. It was probably rted to my future self I''d seen at thest part of the trial of the 11th floor. I kept thinking while silently looking at the mirror. "..." Maybe this was like an invitation the God or Proof had left for me. He''d even asked me to visit the ''Temple of Proof.'' He''s waiting for me to go and visit the Temple, so he left me an invitation like this. As if he were saying that if I''m wondering about my future self, I better go and meet him. "How fun." I wasn''t sure why, but it seemed like the God or Proof was interested in me. But I didn''t know his goals, so I had no intention of epting that invitation. He was able to summon me to the God''s territory forcibly. So if I went to the Temple, I could be in danger. ''I should go once I get enough strength When I''m at least able to resist a God''s actions.'' This was just an intuition, but I thought the answer was rted to Divinity. The God of Proof and the Administrators thought of this power called Divinity as special. That means that inside the Divinity, there might be a way to resist pseudo-divine beings or even a real God. ''I should try to study more about the Divinity...'' Of course, right now, I couldn''t properly use it. I opened the status window and checked out the newly obtained skill. Skill - Battle Concentration (A+) Proficiency Rate - 11% Exnation - When you''re in battle, it gives you the power to exercise extreme concentration. Effect - It automatically activates when you enter battle, and you can temporarily increase your concentration. At the moment, you can only increase it to 10 times. If you reach a concentration beyond that, you''ll get a recoil. Increasing your concentration in a battle was a simple effect, so I didn''t need to check it out any longer. "Nice timing." I had obtained a skill like this when I was about to face a battle. I was going to be able to find numerous ways to use that skill in real-life situations. Will you ept the 12th floor''s trial? Now, it was about time to challenge myself. Chapter 107: Real Talent (2) Chapter 107: Real Talent (2) After I stepped inside the portal that led to the 12th floor I thought the 12th floor might have an unexpected stage background like the 11th floor. Entering the 12th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty - Hard The topic of this Trial is ''Go beyond your limits.'' To stop advice messages, administrators won''t be able to send messages temporarily. May the challenger find a satisfying result at the end of the selected asceticism. The reason why I thought that... Starting the trial of the 12th floor. Remaining time - 48 hours Trial Breakthrough Condition - Kill your clone within the time limit Trial Fail Condition - Challenger''s death or no time left. Trial Breakthrough Reward - (Ancient''s Emperors Gray Crown A-) Trial Fail Penalty - Death The stage of the 12th floor that I could see behind the portal was a ruin that emitted an evil aura. "..." I frowned after looking at the unknown letters on the mural. It was such an evil-looking mural that just looking at the letters made you feel unpleasant. ''This doesn''t look like the stage of a normal Trial.'' But after looking at the runes with more detail, I realized it wasn''t something that impressive. I walked toward the circle drawn with blood that was in the middle of the runes. The sticky mana gathered around the area made it hard to breathe. The blessing of the God of Darkness has detected infiltrators and has created protecting soldiers. As if it were doing storytelling, the Tower sent me messages. And Now, the infiltrator must think about how much he knows about himself. I frowned after reading the message sent by the Tower. I immediately understood what kind of story this was. I had currently reached the middle of the runes of an ancient pce, and it had activated to eliminate me... In the 12th floor''s trial, rather than the story, I was more worried about the being that had given a blessing to this ancient pce. ''I wasn''t expecting to get involved with another God.'' God of Darkness? Was this floor rted to a God, just like the previous one? ''I hope there isn''t a huge variable in this floor... but I guess I''ll have to figure that outter on.'' They''d even blocked messages from the administrators, so I wouldn''t be able to ovee it by listening to any advice. Previously, the administrator''s ability to look had been canceled because of the God of Proof. So it was true that I was feeling reluctant. But before I could finish that line of thought, the circle in the middle of the runes began shining. In an instant, darkness began gathering and took a form. And The item ''Vampire Count''s Rusty Tail Coat (A-)'' has been cloned. Kill the other you that the God of Darkness has created. "..." The Dark figure that had appeared on top of the circle... has perfectly copied my outer appearance. Mildly messy hair. Emotionless eyes. A battle stance that had been perfected with diverse skills. That was the image I knew of myself. With my eyes wide open, I started to look at my clone. ''It really looks like me... It''s a real-looking fake.'' To think that he had recreated me so perfectly gave me chills. But this replica had only one item from the ones I have. ''Just like the Iron-blooded Monarch said, it seems like only one item was copied...'' Not only that, it didn''t have any weapon in his hand. Taking these things into consideration, it was clear who had the advantage. After finishing checking out the replica, I quickly stomped into the ground and activated my skills. The skill ''Instant eleration'' has been activated. The skill ''Battle Concentration'' has been activated. The concentration of the user has doubled. The skill ''Winds Grace'' has been activated. Your speed has increased by 70%. Current skill ovep progress - 7/7 The moment my body began elerating to the limit, the flow of time became slower. ''So this is Battle Concentration.'' It felt as if I was watching a slow-motion video. But it didn''t seem like a skill I would have to get used to. The user''s concentration rate has increased by 1.7 times. Now, I could instantly learn how to use and control a skill. It was probably something that happened after I reached Sword me status, and my thoughts became stronger. The power ''Sword me'' has activated. I had used all of the skills I could. Not only that, but I had poured Sword me into the Blood Demon Sword. I was expecting that even though it was a replica, it would be pushed back by my items and the advantage of being the first to attack. ''I guess I''ll just have to push forward and analyze myse...'' But ng! The replica had summoned in his hand the ''Iron-blooded Sword (A-).'' I wasn''t expecting the power I received from the Iron-blooded Monarch to be used this way... ''As expected from a power, the Iron-blooded Sword''s capabilities seem good.'' I was satisfied with the reaction of the replica. After all, the Iron-blooded Sword was a power I had. The replica was just a copy of me. Later on, I was going to be the one using this power. So it was natural for me to be satisfied. At the point when I could no longer use the Blood Demon Sword, this power would be very useful to me. But I couldn''t keep that line of thought for much longer. *** *** FWOOSH! It was because the replica pushed me back with an attack. I minimized the recoil, and I looked at him in confusion after sliding back. How could he push me back so easily with a sword...? We were both holding a sword, but the results were too different. ''What? I feel like I''m being pushed back in terms of strength...'' Was it that the skill ''Indomitable Will'' I had absorbed from Resillian had activated? There was a chance that was the case. ''Is that why its physical strength is higher than mine?'' I could understand that because I have the advantage thanks to the items... You''ve encountered an enemy you''re going to struggle to face. The skill ''Indomitable Will'' is being activated. "...?!" But those thoughts were canceled by the message that said the skill ''Indomitable Will'' had been activated. There''s a huge difference between our items. Yet I encountered an opponent hard to handle...? Then that meant the replica had pushed me back without the buff of the skill ''Indomitable Will''... I couldn''t understand it. ''No way.'' Our physical specs might be the same. But the difference of the numerous buffs received from items was hard to ovee. Items were also recognized as specs. And the higher-rank items you obtained, the stronger you would be. But... ''Why did the system consider me to be at a disadvantage?'' If Indomitable Will had activated, that meant the skill considered the replica had an advantage over me. How? But I couldn''t think of that question any longer. Because... "What''s that...?" In the hands of the replica, another sword had appeared. After seeing a red color float around the de made of mana, I realized what that was. Because, after all, the other sword that had appeared in the replica''s hand was another skill I had. "..." Counter Shield. It was a defensive skill that let you save the received damage and then use itter. The shield had changed shape and took the form of a sword. It was hard to maintain the Counter Shield if you changed its shape. That''s why I could only use it as a counter for big techniques like magic or power... But a sword? I couldn''t understand why he''d chosen such an ineffective way. If things went on like this, not only I wouldn''t be able to analyze myself. I would just have to look at a self-destruction process. That''s why I left behind the possibility of using the 12th floor to get a neutral opinion of me. ording to the information I received from the Iron-blooded Monarch, this replica was made by copying my ''experience.'' I had never used double swords. So that meant that this should be his first time using double swords... I couldn''t believe it. To think it would use double swords, a technique not even I, the original, had been able to use yet. Not only that, but it was a sword that was created by using a technique that used a lot of mana. This was stupid. Leaving the Blessing of the God of Darkness aside, it was a fight against a fake that couldn''t even think on its own. ''I should use as many skills as possible and end things quickly.'' The skill ''Lightning Sword Ki'' has been activated. The moment a blue thunderbolt surrounded the Blood Demon Sword. You have thunder-characteristic mana. The skill ''Lightning Sword Ki'' is fortified. BZZT...!! The Lightning Sword Ki was fortified because of the mana''s characteristics and became fortified. As the Lightning Sword Ki got added on top of the Sword me, it was obvious the attack oue would get stronger. While holding the trembling de, I swung it down. Skill ''Storm Sword'' is being activated. Because of the skill ''Storm Sword'', wind attribute is being added to the sword. Pang! As I swung the sword, the sword became covered with the wind. ''It''s over.'' I was sure the trial was about to end soon. ng...! "...?!" Until I saw the replica brush away my Blood Demon Sword. ''He brushed off this away...?'' Of course, the attack trajectory was obvious. Not only that, but stabbing was a normal attack form. But the Storm Sword skill was so fast that not even the replica should be able to catch off. More so if it was created with my experience as background. After all, I haven''t used Storm Sword that much before. But the replica brushed it off as if it were nothing. I quickly understood the reason. ''Battle Concentration...!'' After using it once, I became sure of its effect. So I didn''t need to think that deeply about what he''d used. It was a technique that increased your concentration for a short while and made time flow slower. You felt the world move slower... I could understand what had happened if he''d used that skill up to a limit and figured out the stabbing. ''It''s okay. I still have the advantage.'' A calmed down while telling myself I just had to seek the next opportunity and then swung my de again. If I couldn''t deal with him with a single attack, I just had to take some more time. But... ng! ng! ng! As the number of shes increased, the replica''s sword movements became smoother. The rusty double-sword movements now resembled the wings of a butterfly. And before I noticed, I the original was the one being pushed back. And I realized something after our swords shed more than thirty times. I... was being pushed back by the pure ability of the fake. And ''How crazy...'' I understood why the Iron-blooded Monarch had said that I had talent. And the reason for that was... "I never thought I''d see that sword technique again in this situation." It was because of the fake''s double swords, an energy simr to a strong opponent I''d previously faced was flowing. A blue Sword me that reminded me of the blue sky. I''ve only seen it once, yet it had left a deep impression in my mind. ''It''s that guy''s sword definitely...'' The sword of the monstrously strong person who''d blown away numerous buildings in Tokyo. Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky, NamGung Hyuk''s sword was being replicated by the replica''s dual swords. Chapter 108: Real Talent (3) Chapter 108: Real Talent (3) Flying Sword of Blue sky. I could still remember the technique NamGung Hyuk had shown in Shinjuku while mumbling the name. Was it because I had erased the mes that were generated with a power? Although I had only seen it once, I was sure it was the Flying Sword of Blue sky. It was something that wasn''t a skill, a power, or a unique attribute. Just like NamGung Hyuk said, that technique could ovee skills. But the Flying Sword of Blue Sky wasn''t a skill, and it wasn''t something that I could learn. That''s why I had concluded that the techniques NamGung Hyuk had used weren''t ones I could learn. But ''Was the Flying Sword of Blue Sky a skill...?'' As if the Replica were saying I was wrong, he was using NamGung Hyuk''s techniques in both swords. Not only that, but it wasn''t exactly the same as NamGung Hyuk''s. It had some unique characteristics. I was surprised yet, at the same time, couldn''t help but notice that the Replica''s double sword abilities were poor. The skill ''Sixth Sense'' has been activated. I realized that because of the Sixth Sense skill I activated while fighting. Thanks to that, I realized that the Replica''s sword style wasn''t that polished yet. But still, his sword techniques were stronger than NamGung Hyuk''s. The Flying Sword of Blue sky I saw was a technique that swung the sword at a really high speed. It was usually a technique that was used to defend. But the Replicas Flying Sword of Blue Sky was mostly offensive. Maybe it was a change of thought. As if it were saying that the best defense was a good offense, it wasn''t giving me space to dig in. In reality, I was able to get used to it after increasing my Battle Concentration three times. So it wasn''t the wrong way. ''Same level as me...? He''s just a monster...!'' Seeing how he was pushing me in terms of strength, not skills, it was hard to call him a replica anymore. He was a swordsmanparable to a challenger from Murim. ''A copy of myself? How did they copy me to get such a monster as a result?'' Was it because of that? The Replica still couldn''t use the skills properly. ''I still have a chance. I need to kill him before his growth speed increases...'' If I can use the skills up to a limit, it shouldn''t be impossible for me to reverse the situation. I clenched my teeth and was about to brush off the dual swords attack. Pang! "...?!" The moment I hit the dual swords, the Replica''s arms seems to explode. I was surprised by it, so I slid back down and analyzed the situation. ''I''m not sure what technique that is...'' After getting a safe distance, I could analyze the situation better. Looking at the blood that had exploded and returned to normal made me understand what had happened. When we were close, the Replica used the skill ''Truth-seeker of Blood'' to make its arms explode. ''He used the blood-controlling ability to make his arms explode and make me back off...? Why?'' Truth-seeker of Blood was an ability that let you control your blood. Not only that, but it also allowed you to recover the lost blood automatically after a certain number of hours. But that only allowed him to gain a few hours. Furthermore, recovering your blood took quite some time. ''If he wanted to create an unexpected variable by making both arms explode, that''s a mistake for sure.'' After analyzing the situation instantly, I held the Blood Demon Sword tighter and was about to charge toward him when... I realized his emotionless eyes were chillingly ring at me. It was as if he''d nned everything out. I couldn''t help but stop and open my eyes wide. I realized my suspicions were right after looking at the attacks that ensued. KLIINNGG! You could see the ''Counter Shield'' shining in the hands of the Replica. He had dismissed the Iron-blooded Sword, as though he wanted to restrict the recoil. ''Had he used a defensive skill like the Counter Shield as a sword for this...!'' The Counter Shield had absorbed a lot of damage thanks to all the shes we had... Its damage output couldn''t be taken lightly. I was forced to use a Counter Shield in the same way as him. The skill ''Counter Shield'' has been activated. I used half of my mana and put it in the Counter Shield and was about to jump into the air and attack when The Replica twisted his waist, and his sword followed as if he were drawing a line. And CLANG! Flying Sword of Blue sky. The attack that had destroyed part of Tokyo hit me. *** *** At that moment. The moment the Counter Shield was destroyed, my thought process elerated because of Battle Concentration. In the hunter''s world, talent allowed you systematically grow. Your ability to acquire new skills, how easily your stats improved, and your capacity to obtain new attributes. These three thingsbined made your talent. I soon realized that systematic talent was just your aptitude. It seemed like, in Murim, your talent wasn''t determined by the system. If the talent determined by the system were everything, people from Murim wouldn''t hate relying on them so much... But that wasn''t the case for Baek SeonHak and NamGung Hyeok. For people from Murim, the system was something they used because they had no other choice. Then what was talent for challengers from other dimensions? The answer to this question was in techniques that weren''t skills. How well you could use ''techniques that weren''t skills'' like magic, martial arts, or a unique trait from your race. Your talent was decided at first by how well you understood those. Then the most important thing was how freely you could use such techniques. That was how most people from different dimensions thought of talent. But challengers from Earth weren''t interested in the talent from techniques that weren''t skills. It was understandable. A skill was specialized knowledge and a miracle of the system that even gave you the technique. Challengers from Earth probably didn''t understand why they had to obsess more about techniques that weren''t skills. Even I tried for a few years to obtain weapon-rted skills by training. I had no intention of using my weapon without the necessary know-how. I had no other choice. There was no point in using weapon techniques that had no skill effects. That line of thought solidified while going up the Tower. That''s why I had never thought about why people from Murim hated skills. But... ''I finally understood.'' Through this trial, all of the doubts that had been stacking up inside my head were solved. I now understood why Baek SeonHak hesitated before using a skill. Or NamGung Hyeok said the skill was fake. Unlike skills, they were used to using real techniques. To them, the system miracle was just a chain. Thanks to the fight with the Replica, I realized how important the techniques that weren''t skills were. And ''The Replica is just a being that copied my experiences and talent.'' From the point of view of a being from another dimension, I had a ridiculously incredible talent. ''Then, I can do it too.'' The reason why the Replica had an advantage over me in the battle was that I didn''t obsess about techniques. I never thought of trying to replicate the techniques of the Replica. And I tried to deny that I had talent. So... The Skill ''Counter Shield'' has broken. You cannot reflect the damage received anymore. Now, it was about time to face everything I''d been denying. Not skill, but real techniques. ''Battle Concentration.'' The skill ''Battle Concentration'' has been activated. The user''s concentration has increased 10 times. You''ve reached a concentration state that''s beyond your limits. If the skill is dismissed, you could receive a huge recoil. While looking at the broken Counter Shield, I increased my cognitive ability. I needed some time before I could use Counter Shield again, so I had to gain some time. Of course, I got a message that said I''d suffer a recoilter on. But I brushed off that message and looked at the Replica approaching me slowly. It seemed like he''d been heavily inspired by NamGung Hyeok. It had copied his movements so much that it felt totally different from before. It wasn''t that he''d obtained a skill rted to it. But to think that he''d be able to use the same techniques in such a simr way. It didn''t make sense to me... But from now on, I would have to think differently. ''I must stop relying on skills so much.'' The world had be slower. I grabbed the sword tighter. And then ''I have to empty everything and apply them in new ways.'' I slowly started to empty everything that was in my mind. "..." Throw away themon sense. Because of your independent realization, the proficiency rate of ''Mana Management'' has increased by 10%. Throwing away my stubbornness. You''ve obtained the achievement, ''Enlightenment.'' Your HP has increased by 1. You''ve obtained the achievement, ''Trance.'' Your Mana has increased by 4. I felt like it took me a lot of time to throw away my reliance on skills. But in reality, only a few seconds had passed. Finally, I felt that I was standing at the same starting point as the Replica. And the reason for that was ''I''m finally starting to understand.'' I began to understand how his techniques worked after stopping trying to look at everything from the perspective of skills. And at an incredible speed. Maybe it was because my thoughts were still elerated, the Replica still hadn''t been able to touch me. Because of the two newly obtained achievements, my mana had increased. ''I recovered a bit of HP, and my Mana went up considerably.'' It was as if I didn''t have the penalty of being on the defensive anymore. Realistically, I had a good affinity with techniques rather than skills. Of course, I still had a bit of suspicion. But then, the Replica made absolutely no sense... I probably had it. A talent simr to that. ''Let''s not doubt and think about it slowly.'' If I could reduce the distance between the Mana and HP, I felt I could quickly copy the Replica''s techniques. Looking at the Replica after getting rid of my preconceptions made me understand many things. From the way of grabbing the sword and in what direction he was going to move it... It was easy to understand after the knowledge that was inside the skill, Demon yer (B+), got fused with my thinking skills, which I guess was my talent. After I understood the theory of it, I realized that the Replica''s movementscked polishing. He hadn''t used Sword me so that he could look very simr to NamGung Hyuk. ''He also hadn''t mixed the Lightning Sword Ki.'' After thinking about it for a while, I reached a conclusion. The Replica had put a great emphasis on imitating NamGung Hyuk. But unlike the Replica, I thought that fortifying the sword with the Sword me and Lightning Sword Ki wasn''t a bad decision. Putting the attribute to cut everything in the Sword Ki. And the capability to destroy the Sword Ki in the Sword me. The Sword Ki would crumble at the Sword me. And I''d be able to deal with Sword me with another Sword me. That was the basic theory behind Sword me. The more attributes you put into Sword me, the weaker its effects would be. That was because the mental capability of the user was limited. ''If he imitates NamGung Hyuk''s Sword me, its innate nature would get lighter.'' If the Replica''s mental capabilities were simr to mine, that would be his weakness. If I added in the Sword me, which had the destructive characteristics of Sword Ki, and added Lightning Sword Ki which was generated with the support of the system, I would be the one who had the advantage. Of course, this was all in theory... The user''s concentration rate is set to 2.8 times. This is something I''ll learn the answer to after both swords sh. I didn''t hesitate and set the cognition again to fast and The skill ''Truth-seeker of Blood'' has been activated. Paf! I made the Replica''s blood soar as it scattered away. The Replica used the blood-controlling abilities to dismiss it, but... That was enough to make him lose concentration. Bam! I stomped on the ground and got close to the Replica. I swung the de at him. Just like the Replica had swung the double swords at me without hesitation. sh...! The Replica still had emotionless eyes. While his hands were bleeding, he generated a new set of des. After he got another pair of twin des, he tried to use them to defend against my attacks. ng! But unlike before, the Replica''s swords were pushed back while his hands trembled. It seemed like the Replica was astonished for the first time... sh! He backed off, even though it made him receive a wound. Even that small emotion he''d just shown had disappeared. He had monstrous regenerative capabilities. So he probably thought that wouldn''t stop him from obtaining victory. But after this sh, I felt that I had finally found the answer to defeat the 12th floors challenge. ''As expected. Even though he has copied me, it isn''t that everything was set to be as effective as possible...'' They had put focus on the techniques rather than the skill. But there wasn''t that much difference from me. It''s just that the Replica had been faster than me at understanding my talent and learning how to use it. Was it because of that? You''re facing an opponent you can perfectly deal with. The skill ''Indomitable Will'' has been deactivated. Even the skill thought the Replica wasn''t a menace anymore. A smile appeared on my face. ''Finally, the situation has reversed.'' Now, it was a matter of time before I won. Chapter 109: Real Talent (4) Chapter 109: Real Talent (4) ng...! I narrowed my eyes and fell into deep thought after blocking Replica''s dual swords with the Blood Demon Sword. I began wondering why the fake relied on duel-wielding swords. He should be able to deal enough damage output with one sword. I couldn''t understand why he insisted so much on dual wielding. Of course, I understood that it was good to get the upper hand in the battle, but ''I don''t think it''s good enough to learn how to use it properly.'' After overwhelming the Replica''s attacks, we exchanged numerous blows. While doing that, I summoned the Iron-blooded Sword and began also duel-wielding swords. By duel-wielding swords, I tried to understand the Replica, but I couldn''t find a meaningful answer. The Replica only knew how to do one-sided attacks. The Replica didn''t mind getting hurt if that could let him deal a critical hit damage. As if that were the answer. It was the same for the Replica and me, but we couldn''t keep having the Ashen Blood skill on forever. With the HP as the base, it allowed you to be a bit freer from wounds and other limitations. But there was a limit to it. He probably knew that. ''If he''s attacking like this despite knowing that, it probably means he had other goals.'' And I could more or less guess what that other goal was. Should I say that it''s a frostbite strike that''s mixed in skillbos? This was my guess, but the Replica was probably trying to earn some time before he could use the Counter Shield again. ''He''s probably waiting for the cooldown time of Counter Shield to reset.'' The Counter Shield, fused with NamGung Hyuk''s Rolling Sword of Blue Sky, was definitely strong. And close to the damage output of NamGung Hyuk''s attack. The Replica probably realized that technique was like my natural enemy. So he was likely forcibly trying to imitate NamGung Hyuk''s attack. But that strategy didn''t work against me anymore. Because Deactivating the power, ''Iron-blooded Sword.'' If the Replica could do it, now I could imitate him. Activating the skill ''Counter Shield.'' The Iron-blooded Sword in my hands had disappeared, and the Counter Shield in sword form appeared in my hand. "..." The expression of the Replica, who''d been attacking me like a crazy person, hardened. I could feel his eyes trembling a bit. Should I say this was the result of the strategy of earning time? I could increase my ability to dual-wield swords, so it was simr to the Replica''s abilities. "It seems like you''ve misunderstood something..." Unlike his hardened face, I was smiling. "If you can do it, I can do it." I was just ying with him because I wanted to see if he had another hidden trick. sh! I didn''t say anything else and swung the dual swords at the Replica. ng...! I could see him blocking my attack with an anxious expression. His emotionless face was now full of astonishment. ''Now I''m finally satisfied.'' It was payback time. * * * ng! After our positions changed, the Replica began moving faster than before. As if he''d crossed his limits, he was now attacking while moving smoothly like a fish. It was the Dragon Sword. His stance of only caring about attacking was nowhere to be seen Just like a fish trying to go up a waterfall, the Replica''s dual swords were trying to reduce the damage received. I couldn''t help butugh in disbelief. The reason was ''I wonder how much he''s going to try to imitate.'' After NamGung Hyuk''s Rolling Sword of Blue Sky, he imitated the Flying Sword of Blue Sky. But unlike before, he was trying to make the sword brush off everything. It wasn''t hard to imagine why he was doing that. ''He''s probably trying to reduce the sh between the swords so the Counter Shield won''t save up the impact.'' Of course, it wasn''tplete like that guy''s move. After all, he''d been able to extinguish the mes I had created in Tokyo with a power. Was it because he had to move the two swords smoothly to maintain calmness and softly deflect the attacks? The Replica now was only focusing on swinging the sword. If he kept resisting like this, he would be able to summon the Counter Shield again. It was as if he were trying to say he could also block the shock just like I did. Of course, that was a fake hope. Activating the skill ''Chaotic Sword-fighting y (C+).'' Increase the Attack Speed by 25%. Current skill stacking progress - 10/10 ng! Because of how much I swung the sword, I hadpleted stacking the ''Chaotic Sword-fighting y.'' Holes were starting to appear in his movements. It was understandable. There was no way a copy would be able to block an attack even the original would struggle with. Because of that, the Counter Shield quickly saved up attacks, and the Replica knew that. That''s why he tried to increase the patterns. FWUNG! He quickly moved his legs and targeted my stomach. Whish! Just like I''d done before, he used the skill Storm Sword (C+) to increase the movement speed and try to stab me. sh! After that, it seemed like he''d made up his mind. He used the Truth-seeker of Blood, and blood thorns began pouring out from his body and tried to repel me. Of course, I dealt with those perfectly. You''ve activated the skill ''Truth-seeker of Blood.'' Not only that, but hisst move had been beneficial to me. ''We have the same level of Truth-seeker of Blood... so there''s no way it would work.'' I took control of the blood thorns that were trying to attack me. It was as if the blood thorns that were pouring out of the body of the Replica had recognized me as their owner. I didn''t miss that opportunity and absorbed those with my Counter Shield. BOOM! Chargingplete. You can reflect as an attack the damage saved up in the skill ''Counter Shield.'' Of course, while making sure the impact hadn''t diminished. Just with this, I was almost sure that I had won ''But I''m going to make sure of it just in case.'' I didn''t stop there. I used the blood-controlling ability to grab them. I used part of the blood to fortify the de, and then absorbed the rest with my body through the sword. BZZT...! The electricity of the de got mixed with the fire and red thunder started to pour out. It seemed like the Replica felt he was about to lose, so he lept toward me like a beast. The user''s concentration increase rate has been fixed at 10 times. You''ve surpassed your limits. If dismissed, you could receive huge recoil. But those beast-like movements felt slow to me. Was it because the world felt slow to me, thanks to the skill? I slowly lowered my body, twisted my waist, and rotated the sword. And The red thunder hit very precisely. The damage saved up in the ''Counter Shield'' is being emitted all at once. While using all of the damage that I had saved up to that point The skill ''Battle Concentration'' has been deactivated. You''re soon going to receive the recoil for having concentrated beyond your capabilities. BOOM! The newly optimized Rolling Sword of Blue Sky swept away everything in front. * * * Congrattions, you''ve defeated the 12th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a reward for clearing it, you''ve obtained ''Ancient Emperor''s Grey Crown (A-).'' You''ve obtained ''80,000 points'' as a reward. You''ve obtained ''3,500 SP'' as a reward. As an extra reward for clearing it, you''ve obtained the skill ''Last Stand (B-)'' as a reward. Move to the waiting room. I looked at the Replica, who had copsed on the floor of the ruins. After seeing that most of his waist had been blown away, I thought that not even I would be able to survive in such a situation. ''Is he really dead...?'' I felt relieved after thinking that I''d killed such a monstrous clone. The proficiency rate of the skill ''Counter Shield (B)'' has reached 100%. The rank of the skill ''Counter Shield (B) has increased. The proficiency rate of the skill ''Chaotic Sword-fighting y (C+)'' has reached 100%. The rank of the skill ''Chaotic Sword-fighting y (C+)'' has increased. Not only that, but while fighting, the proficiency rate of two of my skills had reached a 100%. The Counter Shield reached B+, and the Chaotic Sword-fighting y, B-. The corner of my mouth went up after realizing I''d gotten stronger. But that onlysted for a short while. I soon realized my body wasn''t in a good state. My eyes and ears hurt. Blood was pouring out of them as if it were raining. Seeing how dizzy I was feeling, it seemed like I would have to enter the waiting room as fast as possible if I wanted to recover. The skill ''Ashen Blood'' has been activated. The skill Ashen Blood activated, and I felt that my body was starting to get better. After all, Ashen Blood had an incredible capability that allowed him to recover even his arms and eyes if blown away. It was understandable that such little damage wouldn''t be considered impossible to recover. "Oof, haa..." I tried to get hold of myself and tried to control my breath. Was it because of thest attack? Or that I had dismissed the Battle Concentration? Or maybe because of both reasons But I was sure of something. ''I can''t handle this crazy technique yet.'' Rolling Sword of Blue Sky. No, how should I call this technique? I wasn''t sure anymore. From how it looked, it seemed like I should call it Light Sword. The Rolling Sword of Blue Sky was so hard to use that I had to take my concentration to its limit. If I added more skills on top of it, I would receive a huge recoil. ''If I ever want to use it in a real-life battle, I will have to think about it carefully.'' I used Truth-seeker of Blood to absorb blood and turned my head around. I looked at the corpse of the Replica, which was lying on the floor on top of the runes. No, to be more precise, I was looking at the Necromancer skills effect on top of the Replica''s corpse. ''The spirit of another me, huh? Interesting.'' It was an enemy with the same stats, skills, and powers. The Replica had lost to me because of a small difference. I wasn''t sure what I would be able to get by absorbing the spirit of such an opponent through Necromancy You''ve absorbed the soul of challenger ''Han Sungyeun.'' Proficiency rate has increased to 28%. But that was something I was about to learn. Chapter 110: Interim Closing (1) Chapter 110: Interim Closing (1) The messages from Administrators that had been blocked have been reactivated again. The moment I retrieved the Replica''s soul with Necromancy. "...?" I remembered the messages that had appeared at the beginning of the Trial. To block helping messages, the Administrator''s messages have been blocked temporarily. Now that I think about it, that was the reason why I hadn''t received any messages while doing the Trial was because of the Tower. Now that the Trial was over, that restriction would be lifted. But... 87 Administrators have looked at your Trial. All the messages that had been restricted will appear at once. Unlike the previous floor... An overwhelming amount of messages appeared in front of me. Administrator ''Knight Who Lost his King'' is impressed by your talent. Administrator ''Right Arm of the Vampire Lord is looking at you with curiosity. Asking from where a monster like you has appeared. There were some who were impressed by my talent or said that the difficulty of the Trial was monstrous. Administrator ''The Hero Who Died Seven Times'' is looking at you in disbelief. Asking if monsters like you still appear on a floor like the 12th one. Administrator ''The Assassin Who Killed the Emperor'' is wondering if you''re really someone who has just finished the 12th floor''s trial. Administrator ''Hero of a Fallen World'' says that he isn''t surprised anymore by your monstrous growth. Administrator ''Fallen Heir of the Blood Demon Cult'' is interested in you. Administrator ''The Only One Who Serves the Holy Knight'' has great expectations of you. Administrator ''Seeker of Divinity'' is looking at you cautiously. There were some who looked at me with great interest as if they wanted me. ''Even if you have interest in me, you won''t be able to get anything...'' Of course, I''ve constantly been receiving interest from different Administrators. Maybe the Administrators could get something from a challenger they hadn''t signed a contract with. ''I''ll have to think about thatter on.'' I found it entertaining looking at these messages. But once I realized most were impressed or greedy messages, I stopped being interested. ''Just acting like Im interested in Administrators like these should be enough.'' After a while, the messages finally stopped. Lastly, messages from Administrators I knew very well appeared. Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' is smiling. She says that her eyes weren''t wrong and is happy to look at the talent of her contractor. Administrator ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' says you''ve just recovered what should have been yours from the beginning. Unlike others, the ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' and the ''White Crane Sword Saint'' have reacted as if they were expecting this to happen. Of course, that meant that they had that much trust in me... But after thinking about it carefully, I thought that the reaction of these two Administrators was the result of numerous calctions. The Iron-blooded Monarch had recognized in me a talent for martial arts. And even the White Crane Sword Saint had reacted as if she wasn''t surprised. ''Maybe it was a correct guess.'' From the point of view in terms of effectiveness, it might be better not to consider the Administrator''sments as simple praise... Administrator ''The Only One Who Serves the Holy Knight'' is looking at you. Administrator ''Fallen Heir of the Blood Demon Cult'' is staring at you. Administrator ''Seeker of Divinity'' is looking at you as if he is expecting something. "..." The messages from Administrators that followed cut short my thoughts. It was as if they were looking at me, expecting something from me. ''I''m not sure why they''re doing this... But it seems like they definitely want something from me.'' Later on, the system would probably expand, and other Administrators would start asking me for things. I became almost sure of that. The main reason was how intensely the Administrators were looking at me. I couldn''t stand still if they wanted so much from me. I wasn''t sure what they wanted, but considering the Tower''s tendency, it probably wouldn''t be anything that could harm me. So that''s probably why the Administrators were looking at me in such an intense way. At that moment, I felt an idea shine. ''If the Administrators are showing their interest in me for the future, could I also ask them things first?'' Up until now, there weren''t that many Administrators interested in me, so I''m not sure, but... If they were expecting so much from me, it would be more effective to answer them. Trying to receive attention just from messages didn''t seem very effective. I felt too disappointed by going back just like this, with empty hands. So... "It seems like the system will expand in the future. And even non-contractual Administrators could receive benefits." I didn''t hold myself back and calmly opened my mouth. "Everyone, don''t you think you can do better than just send messages? As if you were testing the waters?" I said it as if I didn''t care about the results. "If you want something from me, give me a Power. If you do so, once the system expands, I will take you into consideration." And Administrator First Dragon yer Born in a Thousand Years'' seems surprised. Administrator ''Fallen Heir of the Blood Demon Cult'' snorts and says there''s no way. Administrator ''Hero of a Fallen World'' asks if you aren''t being too egocentric. And says you should cam down. As expected, he was hearing the Administratorsin. But I wasn''t too worried about that. Because... "Oh, by the way. I just want 3. Firste, first serve." After I said that, the Administrators stopped caring about how they looked in front of others. Administrator ''Fallen Heir of the Blood Demon Cult'' wants to add Powers to the contractor-exclusive shop. Administrator ''Hero of a Fallen World'' wants to add Powers to the contractor-exclusive shop. Administrator First Dragon yer Born in a Thousand Years'' wants to add Powers to the contractor-exclusive shop. * * * You''ve entered the waiting room of the 13th floor. The system is expanding. All themunities of Earth that had been divided by countries have been unified. Now you can use themunity of other difficulties. Now the teammates assigned in the trials won''t be divided by countries. All the rankings that had been divided by countries are going to be unified. Now you can see the difficulty ranking of other countries. After returning to the room after receiving different Powers as support, I began reading messages that had newly appeared. ''It''s a system increase that has nothing to do with me.'' It had been a while since Id used themunity. Not only that, but rankings from other countries had nothing to do with me. The only thing that caught my attention was that the group Trial members wouldn''t be selected by country. ''But I also don''t care about it that much.'' Though it seemed like that wasn''t the case for other people. You''ve entered the unifiedmunity. Difficulty - Hard 13th Floor Community (2182/3121) - TeokRamyeonMandooStew (Korea): Fuck... What kind of nonsense is this? Why unify a perfectly goodmunity? - Grieff (U.S.A): Everyone, calm down. Themunities being unified isn''t that much of a big deal. - Maymay (China): I have a lot ofints about using themunity with inferior people like you all. - Radin (Russia): Stop saying bullshit. You''re probably the useless one. Seeing people like you talking high and mighty makes me want to give everyone a good punch. - Maymay (China): LOL? If you''re mad,e to themon area. Sending off a guy like you is probably going to take only one hit. - Radin (Russia): Okay. Wait for me there. If you escape because you''re scared, I will beat your ass off if I meet you in a future Trial. - Maymay (China): I''m also going to beat you in a Trial. So I''m not sure what nonsense you''re saying. - TKP1870 (Nethends): Woah. So there are people that still fight in themunities even at this point. It seemed like most people hadn''t gotten used to the unifiedmunities. After looking at that, I realized what would happenter. ''Don''t tell me... Is themunity going to get mixed with one from another dimension from the 20th floor onward?'' It seemed possible. It seemed like before inter-dimensional issues happened, they were testing the waters by fusing themunities of different countries. I didn''t think it mattered that much, so I turned off themunities and opened the inventory. Instead of things like that, I should put more effort into personal growth. ''There''s still a lot of things I need to take care of. So I have no time to waste.'' Of course, leaving themunity''s issue aside, I became interested in the unified rankings. I was wondering how many people as strong as me there were on Earth. I couldn''t resist the urge to see the rankings and opened it. And "...?" I looked at the rankings with a nk expression. The reason was... 12 floor''s Trial ranking board 1st. Hunter (SSS) 2nd. Great Sorcerer (SS+) 3rd. Kim SeungHoon (SS) 4th. Katherine Be (SS-) 5th. Bloody Lightsaber (SS-) 6th. Clock Tower''s Magician (SS-) 7th. Andrei Tarkaposki (S+) "What the..." It was because the nickname I had selected was on top of the list. "..." After looking at the ranking board for a while, I epted reality. That''s right. I hade closer to bing the strongest challenger from Earth. Chapter 111: Interim Closing (2) Chapter 111: Interim Closing (2) Strongest. This was probably the reason why I was climbing the Tower. To be the strongest one across all dimensions, so no one could restrict me in any sense. I realized that I had gotten a step closer to achieving my goals. 12 floor''s Trial ranking board 1st. Hunter (SSS) 2nd. Great Sorcerer (SS+) 3rd. Kim SeungHoon (SS) 4th. Katherine Be (SS-) 5th. Bloody Lightsaber (SS-) 6th. Clock Tower''s Magician (SS-) 7th. Andrei Tarkaposki (S+) "..." No one across all countries had gotten a better result than me in this trial. Iughed in disbelief after seeing my name on top of the leaderboard. To think that I would be at the top of the leaderboard that had gathered all countries around the world... ''It seems like Earth really is weakpared to other dimensions...'' Maybe the result would''ve been different if they''d put all S-rank Hunters across the world... But if I was the challenger with the highest points, I could easily understand the level of others. Not only that but in the top rankings, there were some familiar names. But most of the challengers who were in the top rankings were probably at a simr level to an S-rank Hunter. I shook my head and stopped thinking about these kinds of things. From what I''ve heard, in worlds like Ares, Kallian, or the Murim Dimension, the Tower of Trials has existed since long ago. ''I guess it''s inevitable for Earth''s strength to be weaker.'' What mattered in this situation wasn''t the strength of Earth or the rankings. Now that it was officially registered as a climbing dimension, challengers from other worlds wouldn''t invade Earth. Earth was probably weakerpared to other dimensions. I became sure of that afterpleting the 11th and 12th floor trials. ''Earth is at least weaker than Murim and Ares.'' That''s why Earth was seen as a lower dimension from beings of other worlds. So there were many people who tried to take advantage of this and try to invade. For example, a few floors ago, I was treated as a savage by a knight from Ares. And because of that, I almost died. After that, I faced challengers like Baek SeonHak and NamGung Hyuk. ''If I keep going up through the Tower, I guess I''ll inevitably be a target.'' That''s why I shouldnt concentrate on Earth''s weak forces... And instead bing strong enough to face the challengers from other dimensions who, after seeing how weak Earth was, tried to take advantage of it. "Inventory." I checked out the reward I received for clearing the 12th floor trial. Ancient Emperor''s Grey Crown Rank: A- Charisma +30% A grey crown used by an Ancient Emperor that served the God of Darkness. While using, your mind bes unstable, and the durability of the item goes down every minute. But in exchange, you can freely use the that''s embedded in the crown. As long as the item isn''t destroyed, its durability will slowly recover. Spirit Magic... It seemed like an ability that resembled more a Necromancer than the Unique Ability Necromancy I had. I fell into thought while looking at the crown that was shining with a grey jewel. ''If wearing it makes your mind unstable and its durability goes down, it doesn''t seem to be a great item.'' It seemed like you should only wear it while fighting. I decided not to make a conclusion about the Grey Crown and started to check out the other things. First, I decided to check out the B- ranked skill, ''Last Stand.'' Skill - Last Stand (B-) Proficiency Rate - 0% Normal Effect - During the battle, you can dismiss a ''critical hit damage that''s going to lead you to death,'' but once you use it, it will consume 88% of your HP. Also, it will be a week before you can use it again. Detailed Effect - If Last Stand is activated, your senses get sharper, and all your skills will get a boost. The proficiency rate of Last Stand increases by 7% every time you use it. "Nice." There wasn''t an unclear side to its effect like the ''Ancient Emperor''s Grey Crown (A-).'' To think I could ovee a situation that would''ve led to my death. ''I''m not sure what it means to dismiss critical hit damage... but it''s definitely a good skill.'' It had penalties like consuming 88% of your HP and a long cooldown time, but they were penalties that didn''t feel like a penalty. The reason was that... If I can use skills like Last Stand without any restriction, that would make me almost immortal. Not having any penalty after stopping you from dying would be the abnormal thing. Not only that, ording to the description, after receiving the penalty, my senses would get sharper, and my skills would get a boost. ''Taking those things into consideration, this doesn''t feel like a penalty at all.'' Last Stand was definitely going to save me from a dangerous situation. * * * After checking out the details of the rewards, I changed the center of my thoughts. ''Although I''ve finished checking out rewards, there are still things I need to check.'' It was time to check the Powers I had gained by applying pressure on the Administrators. "Exclusive Store." The shop window opened as I mumbled themand words for the contractor exclusive store. Contractor Exclusive Store. SP - 10,500 Category: Skill Category: Power Category: Objects Contractor: Iron-blooded Monarch and White Crane Sword Saint Note: First contractor of the ''Iron-blooded Monarch'' and Apostle of the ''White Crane Sword Saint''. A crazy amount of special points appeared before my eyes, but... I didn''t hesitate and went directly to the Power category. Enter the Power list you want to open. 1. Iron-blooded Monarch 2. White Crane Sword Saint 3. Sponsor Power And You''ve selected the ''Sponsor Power.'' Category: Power (Sponsor Power) List (1/2) Power: Sword Aura Merchant (C+)[Acquired] Power: Steel Wing (C+)[Acquired] Blood Demon Hole (C+) As I entered the Sponsor Power category list, I saw new Powers. List (2/2) Power: Hero''s Protection (C+) Power: Quick Mana Charge (C+) I didn''t stop there and entered the second list. Then I returned to the first page and expanded the description of each Power. It was to make them easier to read. Blood Demon Hole (C+) Price: 3,000 SP Description: It''s a Power only the sessors of the Blood Demon Cult can learn. You can change mana with ki and inherit the characteristic mana of the attributes. The energy changed to Ki will react more sharply. When you begin fighting, your battle senses will get stronger. Power: Hero''s Protection (C+) Price: 3,000 SP Description: A Power that is given only to those chosen by Gods. Those who have obtained this Power, regardless of the time in which they were born, acted as the world''s saviors. However, the subject''s contract with God has been cut. So the only effects they can get from the Power are Divinity Control and Increased Luck. Quick Mana Charge (C+) Price: 3,000 SP Description: When your mana drops to less than 50%, you can absorb and recharge your mana from nature. However, if you over-recharge, your magic circuits or blood veins could be damaged. They were all good Powers. The Blood Demon Hole seemed like a vision technique people from Murim used to change Mana to Ki. Hero''s Protection allowed me to control the Divinity inside me. Quick Mana Charge allowed me to recharge mana. These three were quite good, considering they were C+ Powers. Of course, they were expensive, taking into consideration these were C+ Powers, but they were worth it. "Hmm." After stroking my chin for a bit, I made a decision. "I should just buy these." I couldn''t help but be tempted by these great Powers. Although they weren''t as good as higher-ranking Powers, these were still quite good in terms of price and quality. Among the Powers of White Crane Sword Saint, there were some A- or even A+ ones that tempted me quite a lot. But... But seeing how fast I got special points, I thought I might not need to buy higher-ranking Powers yet. ''I guess it will be okay if I buy it onter floors.'' Not only that, but they also gave me special points as an extra reward. So it probably doesn''t matter. I left these useless thoughts behind and chose the more effective ones. You''ve bought the Power: Blood Demon Hole (C+).'' You''ve spent 3,000 SP. You''ve bought the Power: Hero''s Protection (C+).'' You''ve spent 3,000 SP. You''ve bought the Power: Quick Mana Charge (C+).'' You''ve spent 3,000 SP. These three were sponsored Powers. After buying the Powers, I felt my body changing. But I didn''t stop there and did a ceremony with the remaining rewards. I wanted the effect of the Blood Demon Hole and the Hero''s Protection, but... I decided to leave those behind and checked out thest remaining reward. The reason was... You''ve absorbed the soul of the challenger ''Han Sungyeun'' and increased your stats permanently. You''ve absorbed one of the skills the challenger ''Han Sungyeun'' had as a reward. There was a more interesting reward left than the three Powers I had just bought. Not only that, but Challenger Han Sungyeun''s soul matches the challenger Han Sungyeun''s soul. You''ve satisfied the conditions for the Power ''Divinity,'' so it has activated. Trying to absorb Divinity. I received a message that had something written that I wasn''t expecting. Chapter 112: Interim Closing (3) Chapter 112: Interim Closing (3) You''ve absorbed challenger Han Sungyeun''s soul, and your stats have increased. Your Strength has increased by 10. Your Agility has increased by 10. Your Stamina has increased by 10. Your Mana has increased by 10. Your Tenacity has increased by 10. My stats had increased by double digits, which was something I hadn''t experienced for a while. You''ve absorbed one of the skills challenger ''Han Sungyeun'' had. You''ve absorbed the skill ''Lightning Sword Ki (B).'' You already have the skill ''Lightning Sword Ki (B),'' so both proficiencies are being fused. The proficiency of the skill ''Lightning Sword Ki (B)'' has reached 100%. The rank of the skill ''Lightning Sword Ki (B)'' has increased. I was shocked that the rank of Lightning Sword Ki had increased, but... I left those small improvements aside and focused on the messages that were underneath. Challenger Han Sungyeun''s soul matches the challenger Han Sungyeun''s soul. You''ve satisfied the conditions for the Power ''Divinity,'' so it has activated. Trying to absorb Divinity. The Divinity Power, which had never been activated before, was activated. I never expected for something like this to happen. The Divinity extraction has been sessful. The rank of ''Divinity (C+)'' has be ''Divinity (B-).'' Through ''Divinity (B-),'' you can transform Divinity and myth umtion. "..." It was full of words I couldn''t understand, but... I could feel the change in the Divinity inside me. ''Don''t tell me, can I use Divinity...?'' In reality, I was nning to ask either the Iron-blooded Monarch or the White Crane Sword Saint about how I could use this Divinity that was inside my heart. But there was no need to do that anymore. "Status Window." As I mentioned the simplemand, I could see the status window, which had undergone changes. Han Sungyeun Radiance - Ruler Strength - 100 Stamina - 97 Agility - 98 Mana - 93 Tenacity - 96 Unique Ability - Necromancy (B) Unique Power - Skill Combination Power - Calm (C-), Sword Silhouette Border (A-), Steel Wing (C+), Iron-blooded Sword (A-), Divinity (B-), Blood Demon Hole (C+), Hero''s Protection (C+), Quick Mana Charge (C+) Skill - Detailed List My strength stat had reached triple digits, but what got my attention was the increase in the number of Powers. Divinity (B-), Blood Demon Hole (C+), Hero''s Protection (C+), Quick Mana Charge (C+). While looking at the newly added four Powers, I fell into thought while frowning. ''Among these, the only one that could give a change to Divinity is Hero''s Protection...'' It was the first time a Power had grown after using Necromancy''s soul absorption, so I was surprised. I was trying to wonder about what had triggered the extraction of Divinity. But... I realized that there was no conclusion I could currently reach. It was understandable. ''It''s the first time this has happened, so there''s no way I''d be able to find out something.'' ording to the description, Hero''s Protection just helped you control the Divinity. There were no traces of Hero''s Protection being active while the Divinity was being extracted. So it probably wasn''t something that had happened because I had obtained more Powers. "If I keep thinking about it, I''ll just probably end up reaching useless conclusions." I wasn''t sure what condition I had fulfilled so that I was able to extract the Divinity inside a soul. But that was something I could always figure outter on. And ''I''m going to leave the Divinity aside and check the Powers I''ve bought in more detail.'' Instead, I began checking out the Powers I had just learned. *** *** The Powers I had to check were Blood Demon Hole (C+), and Hero''s Protection (C+). The effect of Quick Mana Charge (C+) was obvious just by reading the description, so it was pointless to revisit it. After reaching that conclusion, I started to look at Blood Demon Hole (C+) in more detail. Activating Power ''Blood Demon Hole.'' BZZT...!! As I reced Mana with Ki, just by leaking out mana, red thunder poured out. Not only that, but the level of body fortification couldn''t bepared to before. "Woah..." That wasn''t all. The mana always heard its owner''s orders. That meant that the level of transmitting the will through Sword Ki or Sword mes had reached a new high. Sword Ki was a basicmand that allowed me to cut anything. Sword me was a moreplexmand of that. That''s what I realized after learning Sword Ki and Sword mes. But as mana turned into ki, the speed of transmission of themands improved. ''There was a reason why the challengers from Murim were stronger.'' The only negative thing was the effect that happened while activating Blood Demon Hole. BZZT! "Ugh..." My sight became red, and from my body, red steam started toe out. I felt that I couldn''t control the blood that was boiling. Of course, it wasn''t that I couldn''t control it, but I couldn''t help but get a bit angry. I couldn''t do anything about an excited voice leaking out. It wasn''t that my mind was starting to feel unstable, but I couldn''t help but feel a bit uneasy "This could be called a downside." While restricting the blood from boiling, I deactivated the Blood Demon Hole. As expected of an expensive power; although it was just a C+ rank Power, it had a strong effect. Besides its side effects, there wasn''t any problem. Although it might look unstable at first nce, it wasn''t bad enough to call it a side effect. Activating the Power ''Hero''s Protection.'' The effect of Hero''s Protection wasn''t that impressive. I just gained the ability to control the Divinity inside my heart, which allowed me to move it. The other effect, luck increase, was hard to test. So I decided to stop researching it. Instead, I began thinking about how to control the Divinity and use its strength. And "What''s this...?" I couldn''t help but frown after making the Divinity move through my body. Paf! A bright light started toe out of the body. I had made the Divinity go around my body for body-fortifying purposes, but something unexpected happened. I could restrict it ording to my will, but there was nothing special to it. The only effect was that my body started to shine I couldn''t do anything like healing or fortifying, just like the priests I saw on the 11th floor could do. I stopped trying to investigate it and fell into thought. ''Seeing that I could control it, but it doesn''t have any effect, it seems like there''s a special way to use it.'' If I couldn''t use Divinity, it was because I didn''t know how to use it. Judging from the system messages, that seemed to be the case. After all, the system had never lied to me up to that moment. If the Tower said I could do it, I could probably do it. But ''I guess I have no other choice...'' Since I couldn''t reach any conclusion, no matter how much I thought about it, I decided to stop thinking about it. But it wasn''t like I had given up on Divinity. "..." Divinity wasn''t my area of expertise, but I had ways to learn about it. ''I could probably learn it from either the Iron-blooded Monarch or the White Crane Sword Saint.'' Administrators were Pseudo-divine beings. So they had Divinity inside them. I currently have a contract with two strong Administrators. To be a master, you have to learn from a master. Maybe I should learn how to use Divinity from the Iron-blooded Monarch or the White Crane Sword Saint. The Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' says she will teach you how to use Divinity! The Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' says she can teach it to you better than the Iron-blooded Monarch. The Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' has invited you to the Administrators territory! After seeing that I couldn''t use the Divinity properly, the White Crane Sword Saint sent me a message. I thought for a bit about what I should do, but I ended up refusing. "I don''t want to." The Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' seems shocked by your refusal. The Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' asks why are you refusing. She says if youe, she will teach you how to use it. There were two reasons why I had decided to refuse help regarding learning using Divinity. The first one was that I thought that over-relying on Administrators could end up creating a bad habit. The second one was that I didn''t know how much time it would take to learn to use Divinity. I''d already tried once to use it, so I thought I kind of knew what Divinity was. ''It isn''t something I can learn at once.'' Of course, there''s a chance I''m wrong... Activating skill ''Sixth Sense.'' I activated a skill that sharpened my senses. "Wouldn''t learning to use Divinity take a lot of time?" The Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' says she can help you learn it fast. "It isn''t that I need to learn it right now, so I''m going to learn itter on when I have time." The Administrator ''White Crane Sword Saint'' says while shrugging, if that''s what the contractor wishes, that''s okay. After reading the White Crane Sword Saint''s messages, I realized that my intuition was right. Right now, I could do the techniques that required Divinity. I could rece the mana restriction or healing capabilities with skills or powers. After facing the Replica on the 12th floor, my capabilities had improved. ''I don''t have time to waste on things I don''t need that much.'' Because ''I can''t stop until I be strong enough to kill NamGung Hyuk.'' Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky, NamGung Hyuk, still hadn''t appeared. When we parted ways in Tokyo, he said let''s meet again in the future. To me, that sounded like he was nning to visit me soon. So I couldn''t ignore it. So... "I should move on to the next floor." For now, I nned on leaving the waiting room and moving on to the next Trial. * * * Srrr "..." I grabbed the red long-sword on my waist and concentrated. Blood Demon Sword. It was to check the capabilities of this sword that had been able to block NamGung Hyuk''s Sword me. Its true capabilities will unlock when the user that has reached the Sword me ne can optimize the blood to a maximum. Its blood effects were simr to Sword me. It could resist a Sword me that had the shredding and cutting capabilities of the Sword Ki. Of course, I hadn''t been able to show the true capabilities of the Blood Demon Sword because I hadn''t optimized the other things properly. ''But I can''t stand still and ignore its capabilities.'' This time, I wanted to check out the real capabilities of the Blood Demon Sword. To activate its unique effect, ''Blood Ki,'' I had to infuse a bit of mana. That meant that to use its capabilities fully, I had to use quite a lot of mana. ''Then it''s easy.'' I slowly flowed mana into the Blood Demon Sword. Red energy started to pour into it, and it began shining with intense light. I didn''t stop there and began pouring more mana into it. And It''s been checked that the effect ''Blood Ki'' has been fortified by a user that has reached the Sword me ne. Letters started appearing in the Blood Demon Sword and began to shine. You''ve fulfilled the condition. The real capability of the Blood Demon Sword has been unlocked. It was as if everything, until now, had just been a bare minimum of what it could do. The name of the item has changed to True Blood Demon Sword. The rank of the True Blood Demon Sword has be A-. The ''Blood Ki'' effect of the True Blood Demon Sword has been improved. The effect ''Blood Eat'' of the True Blood Demon Sword has been generated. An exclusive slot for Blood Eat has been created. It was quite a good change. Chapter 113: Chapter 113:
True Blood Demon Sword ss: A- Reaction Speed +15% Attack Speed +15% Once a renowned treasure that descended from the Blood Demon Sect in the martial world. Itstent abilities have been fully unlocked by a user who has reached the realm of the ming sword. Challenger Han Sung Yun can activate the exclusive effect Blood Qi when using it. Blood Qi possesses an indestructible nature and temporarily enhances cutting power. Challenger Han Sung Yun can activate the exclusive effect Blood Feast when using it. Blood Feast allows the user to absorb the opponents blood into the de of the True Blood Demon Sword, resulting in an overall increase in item performance and the possibility of random skill engraving. During this process, up to three skills can be engraved using Blood Feast, and the cost is incurred only for cooldown time beyond the recharge time. As I appraised the newly transformed True Blood Demon Sword through the Dragon Eye, I couldnt help but be amazed. The increase in reaction speed and attack speed ratios had improved, and the exclusive effects had grown and even been added. This is amazing. I squinted my eyes as I looked at the characters etched intricately on the de. Even though its appearance might not be particrly impressive, the True Blood Demon Sword had evolved beyond being a mere ordinary item. With its official title, it had be a growth-type item equipped with two exclusive effects each, making it quite a significant advantage. It was already decently usable before, but now its like a monster in terms of specs. Whats more, the newly generated exclusive effect of Blood Feast even had the ability of skill engraving. I had never heard or seen anything like engraving a skill and using it without any cost. Well, its unfortunate that it has a limit to engraving skills, up to three at most. Of course, it was only natural that there would be some level of restriction beyond the cooldown time. While it made me a bit uneasy that skills would be engraved at random, I could expect extraordinary effects by engraving good skills. Now I understand why only users who have reached the realm of ming sword can unlocktent abilities. If such an incredible ability could be evolved, it was only logical that there should be some constraints. Having fully inspected thepletely transformed True Blood Demon Sword, I activated themand for the trial. Will you challenge the 13th floor trial? It was time to ascend the tower once again. ?- -? Entering the 13th floor of the Trial Tower. Difficulty C Hard The theme of this trial is Strategic Combat. May the challenger find satisfying results at the end of their chosen feat. Crossing the portal, I looked around quietly while observing the message that appeared in the air. The 13th floors stage took on the form of a forest that I had encountered once before. Its quiet here. It felt as if I was all alone in a forest filled with a vibrant green glow. The scent of fresh grass seeped deep into my senses, and Ipleted my survey of the surroundings. Then, as I gazed at the subsequent message, I furrowed my brows. And rightfully so Initiating the 13th floor trial. Remaining time C 14 days Trial Clear Conditions C Cooperate withrades to defeat the Vampire Count within the remaining time Trial Failure Conditions C Teammate annihtion or the expiration of time Trial Clear Reward C Random Skill Book (A+) Trial Failure Penalty C Death This 13th floor trial was aprehensive trial I hadnt faced in a while. While I had always found it troublesome to undergo trials with teammates My perception began to change as soon as I saw the reward for trialpletion: a Random Skill Book (A+). A random skill book. Seeing a better reward than expected, it seemed that this trial would yield quite satisfying results. If luck was on my side, I might even catch the administrators attention and receive support for my abilities. Naturally, this improved my mood, alleviating any lingering negativity. Initiating team member assignment. Wooong! Subsequently, as three portals opened in the vicinity, a mini-map appeared in my field of vision. Opening the 13th floor trial-exclusive map. Indicating the city upied by vampires. Indicating the hidden clergy within the vampire-upied city. Indicating the location of the vampire count within the vampire-upied city. It was the same minimap shape I had seen once during the second trial. So, this is what they meant by strategicbat Probably, this 13th floor trial required finding the clergy within the city and then ying the vampire count. However, I couldnt help but feel slightly discontented with this arrangement. Couldnt I just invade the city and eliminate everything in my path? It seemed much better than bothering to search for clergy members and such. In reality, I had more than enough power to annihte an entire city. In fact, using massive destruction would undoubtedly work to my advantage. With necromancy, I can endlessly restore my health and mana by using themanders Combined with skills like Bloodline Archon, I could easily be called the strongest in an all-out battle. Lost in such thoughts, I was seriously contemting the chaotic battles within the city. Team member assignment isplete. To facilitate smooth gamey, the assigned team members nicknames will be disyed. Suddenly, three challengers appeared from the portals that had sprung up around me. I slowly scanned their faces with my eyes, taking in the challengers appearances. Andrei Tarkovsky. No wonder the system expanded, it was a unified trial. Starting with a Russian who outright used his real name as a nickname. Legendary Ninja. Uh Hello. Haha, nice to meet you all. A rather handsome Japanese person who didnt seem to fit his rather childish nickname. Clocktower Mage. .Nice to meet you. Even a British individual who had covered themselves entirely with a robe, barely revealing their face As I examined them once, I realized two things. They were challengers from different countries, and at the same time, they were ranked high in the settlements final standings. The man named Andrei Tarkovsky, proudly disying his tattoos without wearing a shirt, held the 7th rank in the rankings. The Clocktower Mage, surpassing Andrei Tarkovsky, was a skilled individual who had achieved the even higher 6th rank. The Japanese man using the incredibly childish nickname Legendary Ninja also gave off the impression of having been seen in the top rankings. Challengers from different countries top ranks Even if I tried not to be interested, it was an aspect I couldnt help but feel curious about. However, the others seemed to pay little attention to being in high ranks and immediately began conversing. Now that we have to cooperate for the next 14 days, lets introduce ourselves. Im Andrei Tarkovsky. The Japanese challenger reacted to his words and his body which was showcasing tattoos without wearing a shirt on his upper half. It was as if his eyes were sparkling with interest in the current situation. Andrei Tarkovsky Even though I had my doubts based solely on the rankings, you truly are from Russia, arent you? I have no reason to hide it. Thats right, Im the leader of the Carpediem Guild. So what? Is it strange to have the leader of Russiasrgest guild in the tower? The Japanese challenger chuckled and extended his hand. Its not that. Its just interesting to find someone in a situation simr to mine. Oh, by the way, Im Michimoto Satchio, an S-rank hunter affiliated with the Japan Hunter Association. Oh, you have a more prestigious body than mine. Youre the sole S-rank hunter in Japan Such things arent that important in the tower. Just call me Satchiofortably. Ah, as for the person in the robe'' The spotlight shifted to the Clocktower Mage, and following that, the elderly man in the robe responded. Im David Taylor. A mediocre mage from the Clocktower. A retiring archmage, huh? To be dragged to the tower in such a manner your luck isnt great. While Andrei expressed pity, David seemed to smile as if unaffected. I consider it lucky to have this opportunity in my final years. The essence of mystery like the tower is an intriguing subject for mages. With the introductions of the threepleted, their gazes naturally turned towards me. The leader of Russiasrgest guild, the sole S-rank hunter in Japan Even a retiring archmage was present in this gathering of giants. However, I epted their gazes nonchntly and introduced myself withposure. Compared to them, I felt nothingcking in myself. After all, I was currently the highest-ranked challenger on Earths dimension. Im Han Seongyun, a C-rank hunter from South Korea. It was because of this that I believed I didntck anythingpared to them. ?- -? And indeed, the subsequent conversation was filled with trivial formalities. Who would have guessed that a top-ranking challenger in the final reckoning would be a C-rank hunter Of course, such thoughts were fleeting, and soon the conversation shifted to discussions about the trial, initiated by David. The trial with the theme of strategicbat and exterminating the vampire lord seems like an interesting challenge. I dont know about it being interesting, but Im getting annoyed. Its not feasible to just charge in without any strategy. I guess you could say the conclusion is quite simple. We need to infiltrate the city, rescue the clerics upied by the vampires, and then kill the vampire lord. The discussion was summed up quite simply. We need to infiltrate the city, rescue the clerics upied by the vampires, and then kill the vampire lord. It sounds simple, but Im skeptical about whether we can secretly infiltrate the city. The story was about infiltrating the city and meeting the clerics to kill the vampire lord. Dont worry about that. I havent wasted my years; I can use stealth magic. Without detection skills or simr techniques, we shouldnt get caught. Thats a relief to hear. However, as far as I know, the duration of stealth magic isnt very long Even so, I can maintain it until we infiltrate the city. Of course, it wont be useful if were detected duringbat, but until we infiltrate, it should be fine. Oh, then Ill use my unique ability to scout the outskirts of the city secretly. That way, infiltration will be easier. That sounds good. I listened to all this conversation without voicing my opinion. I was curious about how top challengers from other countries approached trials. Perhaps there might be a better strategy than engaging in open warfare within the city. However, as Iy there listening, I began to feel a growing disappointment in my teammates. While cautious reconnaissance and careful infiltration of the city were good strategies they seemed to be overly cautious. Even Andrei, who showcased his tattoos without wearing a top, appeared more cautious than expected. Even the Russian challenger, adorned with magical essories all over his body, was cautious, so the others had no choice but to be even more careful. Due to Satchios unique trait as an assassin, he was more adept at ambushes and covert actions than directbat, and David wasnt much different. The British mage, skilled in concealment magic, favored clever tactics in battle. As if determined to stick to the theme of the trial, he seemed to engage in thoroughly strategicbat. If things continued like this, it was evident that they could smoothly ovee the trial without failing. However That means we might not receive the additional breakthrough reward. I wasnt afraid of the 13th-floor trial to the extent that I followed cleverbat strategies. The Tower always offered conventional methods, but blindly following them was foolish. Even the 11th-floor trial gave off the impression that we just needed to ovee each gate, but in reality, it was a well-designed system where passing through all the gates allowed for moreprehensive growth. Thanks to that, I obtained the additional breakthrough rewards quite satisfyingly from the 11th-floor trial. Theres no need to avoid potential losses when I can create a stage that leverages the advantage of all-out battles. Therefore, I had no intention of following the ns of the other three, and I soon voiced that thought. It seems like everyone is mistaken about something ? Passing the trial like that isnt efficient. Not efficient? What does that mean Does it imply theres a better way? Davids question, which was at the heart of the discussion, made me nod my head. Of course there is. At my words, Satchio, who had been discussing in front of me, brightened up. Oh Could you please tell us what this method is? Certainly. Its not a difficult method, so youll understand easily. Andrei and David also reacted as if curious about my thoughts. Im curious too. If theres a more efficient way than this. It sounds quite interesting. Indeed, as befitting the worlds top-ranked challenger, it seems you have your own secret to clearing the trial. A secret In a way, couldnt this also be considered a kind of secret? A more efficient method than this n is simple. I articted the strategy for the 13th floor that was in my mind. You can just charge in recklessly, kill them all, and pass the trial. Just as raw and straightforward as it was in my mind. [To be continued.] Chapter 114: Chapter 114:
Lets just charge in and kill them all to finish the trial. After I finished speaking these words, a suffocating silence settled around me. The three challengers stared at me as if wondering what I was saying The silence persisted for a while until David Taylor regained hisposure and spoke, sounding bewildered. Theres so much I want to ask, but Ill stick to this one question. Please go ahead. Do you really believe that we can just charge in recklessly and win? Isnt that obvious? If all of us here charge in, theres nothing we cant ovee. Whew. I misspoke. He is certainly crazy, perhaps even megalomaniac. David continued, seeming to rub his temples as if I were irritating him. Im also curious how you were evaluated as the top challenger by the Tower. ? You might not know, but Ive heard about the 13th-floor trial from the administrators. Is that so? The fact that he had heard from the administrators likely meant he had used up questioning rights to obtain the information. Since there was no harm in knowing and potentially losing out on anything, I looked at David and slowly posed my question. Whats the reason for your excessive caution? The strength of the vampire count is among the upper echelons even among S-rank hunters, and the vampire minions, who are nothing more than subordinates, surpass the abilities of C-rank hunters with ease. Furthermore, vampires are known for their bodily regeneration, so they cant be easily killed. Hmm.. But, just barging into the city recklessly? No matter how skilled the four of us are, that would be suicide. Even if the administrators hadnt told me about this levels trial, this level of caution should be inherent. Do others share the same opinion? I casually brushed off Davids words and asked about the opinions of the others. I wanted to know if they were genuinely nning to spend the entire 14 days with such caution to pass the trial, as this mage suggested. The answer became evident quite quickly. Well, thats to be expected ..crazy idiot. I considered myself quite aggressive, but youre at a level of having no strategy at all. ..No, even so, wouldnt a city-wide battle be a bit much with just the four of us? It was because the reactions of Andrei Tarkovsky and Michimoto Sachiho hade right back. Even Andrei Tarkovsky seemed surprised that there might be a more aggressive challenger than himself. Following that, I couldnt help but feel a slight sense of disappointment from the reactions of my three teammates. I thought being top challengers would make them different from ordinary people turns out, its not ture. They were merely aiming for safety without considering the risks. While it was understandable to pursue safety, but they were top challengers after all. Havent they realized that this approach is slow for growth while climbing the Tower? They must know that relying on safety alone wouldnt suffice to obtain additional breakthrough rewards. However, despite that, they were just overthinking about the abilities of vampires, their regeneration powers, and such. Frustrating. The more cautious they are, the slower our growth bes. Standing still for a moment, I sighed deeply and opened my mouth as if there was no other choice. If thats the teams consensus, then I guess theres nothing I can do. And then, Ill just go ahead and clear everything out, so you can proceed with your original n while Im at it. With that statement, I decided topletely disengage from my teammates. What? Whats this abou Andrei started to protest, his brow furrowing, but This is the maximum consideration I can offer to the team. Cutting him off, I focused my mind and activated one of my abilities. Steel Wings are activated, and at that instant, a pair of magnificent steel wings spread out. Well then, see youter. I shot up into the sky with incredible speed. Wait, this crazy! Come down right now! Solo actions will only bring misfortune! A flight ability!? What kind of contract did you make with the administrator to have such an ability? What he was bluffing about was this Hes even crazier than I thought. I could hear my teammates shouting something from below, but I paid them no attention. It made sense. If this was really a dangerous trial, Iron- blooded Monarch or White Crane Sword Saint would have warned me. The reason I dont consider the current 13th-floor trial to be particrly dangerous is because of that. Administrator Iron- blooded Monarch admires the exceptional judgment of the contractor. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint nods, saying that in times like this, its best to just ignore it. Administrator Hero of the fallen World chuckles, finding the support of your ability worthwhile. If it had truly been perilous, the administrators wouldnt have reacted this way. Administrator Oceans Assassin looks at you, his contractor, who abandoned him. Administrator Blue me magician is angered by your disregard for his contractor. Administrator Magic tools producer feels intrigued by your insolence toward his contractor. Of course, the three administrators believed to be associated with the three challengers protested through administrator messages, but soon enough, these administrators would lose all inclination to say anything to me. Why? Because The location of the Vampire Count is marked on the minimap. I was nning to defeat the Vampire Count and pass the trial. Its been a while since Ive had a battle with a group. Looking forward to it. The thought of facing a group battle brought a smile to my face. David Taylor was a clever magician. He was a member of the Clock Tower, one of the highest-ranking magical organizations around the world. He had served as a highly skilledbat magician on the frontlines for a long time and was also a retiring Grand Magician. Of course, due to being chosen by the Tower of Trials, he continued to actively engage even during what should have been his retirement years, which didnt quite fit his retirement image, but David Taylor considered bing a challenger a stroke of luck. Originally, magicians were individuals who pursued the truth, and the Tower of Trials was a fitting subject of exploration for any magician. As always, David Taylor intelligently overcame the trials of eachyer within the Tower of Trials and became one of the top challengers. One might even say he was an elite among elites, gaining the aura of a pioneer and solidifying a contract with the administrators. At least, David Taylor saw himself as an elite. However Why the hell are these damn bastards ignoring my words! David Taylors frustration had reached an unbearable level. It was understandable. This time, a certain Korean challenger assigned as his team member suddenly began acting on his own. Despite being advised to avoid risky actions like solo ventures or group battles within the 13th-floor trial, this challenger was disregarding those warnings. After casually brushing off David Taylors words, Han Sung Yeun soared into the sky as he pleased. As a result, David Taylor was now sprinting through the forest like a madman. I need to move quickly ording to the strategic n before that lunatic gets himself killed in a messy battle in the city! David Taylor had heard from the administrators about how exceptionally challenging the 13th-floor trial was. The physical abilities of ordinary vampires wereparable to challengers on the 7th floor of the Tower, and their regenerative abilities exceeded imagination. Moreover, even the vampire count, who was the final boss of the 13th floor, was a special vampire chosen by the gods, boasting insane capabilities. Did he think the Tower just arbitrarily designate the theme of this floor as strategicbat? What a foolish man! The theme of this integrated trial was strategicbat, a trial purely testing ones strategic abilities. It was the most suitable theme for someone as intelligent as David Taylor, and he found this trial quite interesting, until Han Sung Yeun acted recklessly. What does that fool think he knows to act so carelessly! Damn it! While gasping for breath and running, David Taylor secretly cursed Han Sung Yeon. Han SungYeun had dared to not follow his ns in a topic that was suitable for even a mediocre hunter. That damn guy bing the top-ranked challenger was nothing more than luck. He had been overestimated, inting himself with empty words in a topic where his skills werent even that great. However, this inner frustration was short-lived, and David Taylor soonposed himself. Its alright. Ive already sent Michimoto Sachiho and Andrei Tarkovsky ahead, so there shouldnt be any issues. After the situation escted due to Han SungYeuns solo action, Michimoto Sachiho and Andrei Tarkovsky had been sent to the city upied by the vampires in advance. Although David Taylors mobility wasnt high, he was btedly trying to catch up.. However, Michimoto Sachiho was Japans only S-ss hunter, and Andrei Tarkovsky was the leader of CarpeDiem, Russiasrgest guild. Both of them had been quite powerful even before the appearance of the Tower, so they would likely make use of their respective strengths to contact the clerics. However.. !? At that moment, when David Taylor arrived at the vampire city, he saw two challengers standing in front of the partly broken city gate, surrounded by a loudmotion. They were Michimoto Sachiho and Andrei Tarkovsky. Contrary to David Taylors expectations, the two of them were gazing beyond the broken gate as if something unbelievable was happening on the other side. Perplexed, David Taylor felt a surge of frustration. Damn it I advised them to act strategically, and yet theyre behaving like this Feeling exasperated by their behavior, David Taylor swiftly moved towards them. Without hesitating, and with the intention of quickly entering the city and finding the clerics, David Taylor had been approaching, ready to express his anger. However, he abruptly halted and eximed, No, what on earth is this He understood now. He understood why the two challengers were fixated on the other side of the broken gate as if under some illusion. David Taylor was shocked by the scene beyond the gate where the loudmotion originated. Bammm! Beyond the gate that was now in ruins, dozens of vampires were swarming Pale-skinned vampires, each emitting a crimson aura from their bodies, moved swiftly. Damn it! This human challenger! How dare he toy with us, the human challenger! Capture that arrogant human and kill him! We shall offer this fool to the God of Battle! Do not be afraid! The God of Battle watches over us! We cannot be defeated by mere humans! Their cries were desperate attempts to exclude just one intruder However, a man in the center of the skirmish was preventing their actions. Slice! The man who stood in the midst of the fray was wielding a pair of swords, swaying them like a dance. Every time, the bodies of the vampires were torn into pieces mercilessly and ruthlessly ughtered. It was genocide. David Taylor stood still and witnessed the absurd disy of power, and he soon realized who the man drawing such graceful paths with his swords was. This is unbelievable Han Sungyeun, the challenger whom David Taylor had inwardly mocked as foolish until just now, maintained a cold expression as he orchestrated a ughter of dozens of vampires. It was as if he were invincible, impervious to any exhaustion. Faced with such monstrousbat prowess, David Taylor couldnt help but be mesmerized by the battle that unfolded before him. And then David Taylor gazed at Han Sungyeun, who moved around like a monster, and he had to question himself. Did I really need tactics? The situation that he had believed couldnt be resolved with brute force alone Was it not simply because hecked the strength himself? [To be continued.] Chapter 115: Chapter 115:
Originally, I had nned to descend to the location of the vampire lord and engage in a pitched battle. I didnt want to drag out this trial any longer than necessary.. However, due to the vampires upying the citys airspace, I had no choice but topletely revise my n. Ever since I was spotted by the vampire standing watch at the gate, I became the target of his blood-arrows, like guided missiles. Could it be that the vampires possessed blood maniption abilities akin to a Blood Maniptor like me? The blood-formed arrows relentlessly pursued me, as if determined not to lose me, like a predator hunting for its prey. As bothersome as that was, the sheer number of arrows was the real problem. Even dealing with guided projectiles could be annoying, and with other vampires joining the chase, it seemed unlikely I could reach my destination unscathed. So, instead of engaging the vampire lord in an all-out battle, I decided to systematically eliminate the vampires, starting from the gate and working my way through. I never knew this choice would be so effective. You have absorbed the blood-spirits of the vampire. Proficiency increased by 0.1%. You have absorbed the blood-spirit of the vampire Proficiency increased by 0.1% You have absorbed the blood-soul of the vampire Proficiency increased by 0.1% Ever since I destroyed the gate, a sense of excitement surged through my entire body. The growth didnt stop. The increase of 0.1% proficiency in Necromancy from a single sh. This proved that my strategy to methodically approach and conquer from the gate was not a wrong choice. In fact, I might have been disappointed if I had just passed by and tried to tackle the vampire lord first. Although my stamina and magical energy were not infinite, the prolonged battles were gradually wearing me down. But even for that, I realized a solution would soon present itself. Skill Blood Maniptor has been activated. Chyaahhh! As I yed countless vampires, the blood that filled the vicinity responded to my gestures. The wave of blood, reminiscent of ake, seeped into my fingertips, infusing me with vitality. Both my stamina and magical energy werepletely restored. Whats more, with the remaining blood maniption power, I attacked the vampires around me. Chya-jajajaak-! Just as I was hit by their arrows while airborne, I indiscriminately sent forth the des of blood towards them. I thought it would be a casual exchange, but unexpectedly, the vampires swiftly began to fear me. D-Damn, mons- monstrous! We must summon the Lord! Ugh! Blood Control Technique (Ѫg)! Wh- what is this? If you can use Blood Control Technique, arent werades?! Kyahh! This is insane! His blood maniption ability is stronger than ours!? Th- this is unbelievable! Kkkaah! Surprisingly, the vampires were quick to be overwhelmed by fear and astonishment in my presence. Seizing the opportunity, I absorbed all the souls of the vampires I had absorbed so far. Due to the consumption of some spirits of my Necromancy shield, I was hesitant to gather more now. Using all acquired souls to permanently increase attributes. Strength increased by 3. Agility increased by 1. Stamina increased by 2. Magical power increased by 3. It was great. Although these attribute increases werent as substantial as the spirits of the replicas I absorbed earlier it was only natural, considering there were hardly any foes as powerful as me. It would have been great if I could easily absorb the skills as well, but it doesnt seem like it will be that simple. With a hint of regret pushed aside, I focused my mind and became conscious of the weapons of maniption that the vampires wielded, a veritable mass of swords. A myriad of weapons, created by the vampires Blood Control Technique, were aimed at me. If it were to be unleashed, it could easily create a swarm of swords capable of turning a person into a beehive. However, despite the countless array of weapons, I did not feel threatened. And there was a reason for that Skill Blood Conductor is greatly activated. The skill interferes with all blood maniption abilities within the casting range. With a moment of concentration, I could easily eliminate this much. Swoosh! As if a vessel to contain water had disappeared, the suspended blood flowed down and onto the ground. The already pale faces of the vampires became even paler. How How can this be! How can something like this The God of battles bestowed power was interfered with by a mere human! Wha What in the world! Apostles! The humans are protected by a deity who sent apostles! Its because we wiped out all humans in this city and provoked the wrath of God! Its unbelievable A Apostles, you say? God of battle!, hear our please! We have never heard of such a thing! Please, grant salvation to your faithful! Although the city was filled with voices that would befit the prelude to an apocalypse Skill Blood Mastery is activated. I activated Blood Mastery without hesitation. Huh. Srinngg.! Along the paths of magical energy circuits, magic power was converted into internal energy, and steam billowed from my entire body. Without resisting the irresistible pleasure and thirst, I dashed toward the vampires. Srinngg! With a pair of swords dancing in my hands, I shed at the vampires throats. The movements had be even faster and more fluid than before, and I was surprised by my own newfound agility. Body regeneration? To the point where the existence of bodily regeneration seemed questionable, the vampires fell to the ground one by one. At least when their upper bodies werepletely severed or their heads were cut off, they didnt seem to regenerate. At this level, it seems their regeneration efficiency is lower than my ashy blood? Of course, it didnt matter much. If their level of bodily regeneration wasnt high, it was as good as luck for me. Nevertheless, I couldnt help but feel uneasy about ruthlessly ughtering the vampires as they came. It was quite understandable. They call that a human? Unbelievable! It cant be like that! Its the ancient demon king Its not a deitys apostle, but the demon king has arrived Hehehe! Oh, ohh! God of battle! Please grant us the courage to drive away the demon king! The vampires who had mistakenly believed me to be an apostle of the deity were now crying out that I was the demon king. Theyve taken over a city where humans live and are now acting pitiful. Although I, who had recognized the scenario of the 13th floor stage, found it absurd.. I didnt bother denying their mistaken beliefs. Slice! With astonishment and despair, they watched the vampires heads roll off. It was as if I truly had be the bringer of their apocalypse. ?- -? The urban battle surprisingly didnt drag on as long as expected. The vampires, engulfed in fear, had their judgment clouded to the point where they even chose to flee. I merely ughtered the vampires who had be easier targets due to theirck of resistance. It was akin to hunting in a game. And its an utterly one-sided hunt at that. The oue was quite satisfying as well. Using all possessedmanders permanently increases your stats. Strength has increased by 3. Dexterity has increased by 2. Stamina has increased by 4. Mana has increased by 5. All cleaned up. After systematically killing the vampires, I noticed that the growth rate of my stats wasnt bad at all. At this rate, I was almost surpassing the growth I had achieved from the soul of the previous stages replicas. Of course, my pure abilities would have improved during the 12th-floor trial, but looking from the perspective of my stats, it seemed so. If I kill the vampire lord, I might grow even more. This trial is quite satisfying. As I felt a sense of contentment and let out a faintugh, this happened. Administrator Ocean Assassin is astounded by your insane killing ability. Administrator Blue me Magician is greatly intrigued by yourbat prowess that transcends reason. Administrator Magic tools producer is bewildered by your utterly unorthodox fighting style. The messages from the administrators I encountered on the way up the 13th floor resurfaced in my mind, Of course, it was evident without a doubt that the circumstances were entirely different from back then. Administrator First Dragon yer Born in a Thousand Yearsughs, iming that your enthusiasm holds heroic potential. Administrator Fallen Heir Of the Blood Demon Cult sends des filled with astonishment for your mana maniption. Administrator Hero of a Fallen Worldughs heartily, stating that your investment is quite worth it. And it wasnt just that; even the administrators who supported me with their abilities on the 12th floor seemed content, as if satisfied with my performance. It was understandable After all, the recent carnage I had just inflicted was akin to a solo performance. While it might have seemed like I was following luck to some extent.. the administrators probably realized that I was the one dominating the battle against the vampires. Administrator Ruler of the deep Sea finds you interesting. Administrator Boss of the Traitors chuckles with great amusement. Administrator ck Demon shakes their body as if bored, iming you are more demonic than demons themselves. Even administrators I hadnt seen before started to appear, showing interest in me. That was a testament to the impact of the massacre. It might be my luck to some extent, making it seem like Im having a solo performance but I guess it doesnt matter. Regardless of the situation, if the administrators looked upon me favorably, it wasnt a bad thing. And then, it happened. ? Enhanced senses granted by the Bloodline Mastery alerted me to an approaching presence that wasnt hostile. Slowly turning my head, I saw figuresing from around the area where I had previously destroyed the gate. It was Andrei Tarkovsky, Michimoto Sachio, and even David Taylor.. The teammates I had left behind in the woods were now approaching me, gazing as if I were a monster. We thought you went to find the clerics hidden within the city. Were you still here? I had assumed they would have rushed to the clerics, but here they were. I looked at them, wondering why they were still here. David Taylor spoke up as if to answer my question. I apologize. From now on, I will follow your lead. Please give your orders. It was a peculiar response. . Frankly, I thought his apology was out of the blue. Though I had felt frustrated, I have to admit their strategy in the forest was quite safe . The reason I hadnt followed it was purely due to my difficulty in continuing my growth, or so I believed. But I agree. I had doubted Han Sungyeuns judgment, but I was foolish. Likewise. I thought we were just recklessly rushing in, but it seems that wasnt the case. Other members chimed in, agreeing with the sentiment and even their eyes seemed to shine as they did so. Unlike before, their gazes were filled with not just reverence but a certain degree of respect, leaving me bewildered. Whats going on? I hadnt done anything worth apologizing for, nor had I performed actions deserving of respect, yet they respected me. These are some interesting people. It felt like seeing the true power of a hidden master who had been concealing his strength, leaving me bbergasted. But that didntst long. Skill Sensory Enhancement has been activated. Suddenly, the Sensory Enhancement skill activated, sending a tingling sensation up my spine. In an instant, I realized where this tingling sensation wasing from. Kwaaahhh..!! It was due to the torrential wave of blood, surging from the central tower of the city. The sight was reminiscent of a natural disaster, causing mypanions faces to turn pale.. However, as I witnessed the flood of blood, I couldnt help but burst intoughter. But that was to be expected Vampire Lord! Finally, an opponent worthy of having skills engraved on my Blood Demon Sword had appeared. [To be continued.] Chapter 116: Chapter 116:
The Tsunami of Blood. Watching that wave, reminiscent of a grand catastrophe, I quickly assessed the situation. The Tsunami of Blood must be something created by the Vampire Lord using his blood maniption ability. When I pieced together the information the vampires had shared as they were being ughtered by me, it became clear that this disaster was born from their blood maniption ability. Although it was on a different levelpared to the vampires capacity, which was limited to a few arrows and weapons.. The crimson torrent of blood was undoubtedly a product of the vampires unique ability, the blood maniption technique. Its a lucky day. It appeared that I could instantly engrave the skill onto the Bloodline Greatsword, which I could do three times at most. The only potential issue was the vampire Lords strength. Yet, that aspect actually excited me. Judging from the level of delicate magic power I felt within the Tsunami of Blood, it was simr to what I had encountered with Namgung Hyuk in Tokyo. Moreover, with the inclusion of the rare ability called blood maniption, he was set to be a formidable opponent. If I hadnt advanced through two stages, facing the Vampire Lord would have been a life-or-death situation. But not now. Having ascended twoyers, my current abilities had made me a significant force. My obsession with skill dependency had faded, and my inherent abilities had improved to an unprecedented degree. Even more so, I had acquired new powers. Thus, instead of fear, I felt a sense of anticipation. Thats exactly right If I can defeat an opponent at this level, then I can defeat Namgung Hyuk too. If I were to ovee the Vampire Lord, it would mean surpassing my battle with Namgung Hyuk in Tokyo. Hence, a kind of challenge spirit emerged, and a tingling excitement spread throughout my body. But.. High magic? Could it be that the Vampire Lord possessed the ability to use high magic? ..Could it really be? Its probably just a racial trait. His ability is likely strong enough to remind us of high magic. ..So, what should we do? If we stay like this, it feels like well all die sooner orter. Unlike me, the team members behind me emanated a serious atmosphere individually. Still in an activated state, I intuited the situation through the senses granted by the Six senses skill. If we leave it like this, those three might actually die? Andrei Tarkovsky. Michimoto Sachio. David Taylor. Two of them were renowned figures even before I entered the tower, and even David Taylor, a member of the Clock Tower, appeared to have less power as a mage. No, to be precise, I had surpassed their level to an excessive extent. Have I really grown this much already? Feeling a strange sentiment at having overtaken the level of hunters I once admired was a fleeting moment. Regardless, leaving these three as they were would undoubtedly lead to their deaths. I expanded my presence gradually and, catching a glimpse of the approaching Tsunami of Blood, I opened my mouth to speak. Leave this ce and bring the cleric here. Huh? The cleric? Theres really no need for that anymore.. To be honest, if youre here, it puts me in a difficult situation. Interrupting the bewildered Michimoto Sachiyo, I addressed them directly. Having all three of them here wouldnt make any difference, I couldnt protect them all. I had assigned individual tasks so that they could handle their missions on their own while I confronted the Vampire Lord. Moreover, To absorb the Vampire Lords spirit, I needed to hunt him down alone. If the contributions from others piled up, I might not be able to absorb his spirit fully. Of course, I thought they could offer assistance in some way.. but surprisingly, the three challengers seemed to have short thoughts, and soon they followed my instructions. Understood. Well follow Mr Han Sungyeuns instructions and make contact with the cleric. With those words, Michimoto Sachio vanished into the shadows. Ill do just as instructed. Although it feels a bit odd to be someones errand boy after a long time, theres no choice. Followed by Andrei, he muttered something strangely before quickly disappearing into the city. As I mentioned before, I have no intention of defying your orders. Well gather the clerics ande back. With that, even David Taylor entered stealth mode and disappeared from sight. Watching them disappear, I couldnt help but smirk. No matter what, these three challengers had quickly activated their situational judgment abilities. All the concerns I had werepletely gone. So Finally, we can engage in a real fight. It was time to clearly see the results of my growth. Cell Neir was a True Ancestral Vampire. Not just a mere human turned vampire, but a being born as a full-fledged vampire. He had held a rtively high position among vampires, upying the title of a count, even in the hierarchy of the vampire world within Callians dimension. However, Cell Neir was not content with bing a vampire lord, he desired more power. He aimed to be a vampire king, a position at the top of the food chain, one that was incredibly powerful And so. Cell Neir, who originally didnt believe in gods, began to worship the God of Battle. He channeled the faith of his vampire followers into enhancing his species inherent traits with divine powers. The God of Battle was one who bestowed greater blessings upon those who worshipped him whenever they engaged inbat. Exploiting this aspect, Cell Neir began to indiscriminately destroy human cities, growing stronger with each act of destruction. The blood magic that had been powerful from the start had now developed to the point where it could control the blood coursing through rivers. As the strength of his blood magic increased, Cell Neir even acquired a regenerative ability that bordered on immortality. The God of Battle designates Cell Neir as a prospective apostle. With the destruction of human cities numbering in the double digits, Cell Neir had unwittingly be a prospective apostle. He was no longer just a vampire lord, he was a formidable figure who aimed for a higher status. Afterpletely conquered the city and gaining recognition as a true disciple of the God of Battle, In the realm of Callian, he intended to surpass vampires of lesser stature and obtain a rank higher than a Lord. However, Cell Neirs ns took an unexpected turn in an instant. The vampire kin who had been close to him and had helped in the citys conquest were ughtered, not merely killed, but annihted. And it wasnt just that , they were massacred at the hands of a mere human. The moment Cell Neir realized that it was a human who hadmitted this massacre, he couldnt contain his rage, triggering the Blood Tsunami. How dare insignificant humans rebel against me! Sshhhh! The Tsunami of Blood unleashed by Cell Neir began to engulf the city, causing his very own tower to copse. Like a flood, it congregated in the streets, killing humans throughout the city. The blood magic of Cell Neir, now a designated prospective apostle of the God of Battle, exuded a catastrophe-like power. As the Tsunami of blood grew, Cell Neirughed maniacally, shouting, Hahaha! Worthless insects dared to rebel against me without understanding their ce! Die and beg for forgiveness before me! Amidst the citys crumbling buildings and destruction, Cell Neir reveled in ecstasy, his pleasure overflowing. He couldnt restrain his delight and unleashed his blood magic, advancing toward the citys gates. Standing atop the waves of blood like a surfer on a tidal wave, his eyes reflected madness. However, the Blood Tide couldnt fully cover the entire city ording to Cell Neirs will. ..!? Sshhh! He noticed that the swelling tide of blood was gradually diminishing in size. The area under his control was being encroached upon by anothers influence, despite Cell Neirs intentions. It was at this moment of his confusion, trying to grasp the situation, that a thunderous impact urred. Kwaaaang-! It was pierced through. The Tsunami Of Blood, formed by blood magic advanced to the level of a domain, was pierced through with apparent ease. And what pierced through the Tsunami of Blood was none other than a True Strike. A True Strike imbued with crimson lightning, specialized for lethality. Zzzap! Aaargh! Cell Neir, caught off guard and unable to respond to the True Strike, lost his left arm. Despite its True Strike form, it contained more than just its apparent power. It was practically a pseudo-explosion, and as a result, his entire left arm was blown away. Gripping the stump of his severed arm, Cell Neir screamed in anger with bloodshot eyes. Graah! How dare you! How dare you to not forgive me! The fire of rage burned in Cell Neirs eyes, a sensation he hadnt felt in a long time. But this fiery rage was short-lived. The Tsunami of Blood formed by his blood magic was progressively shrinking, and he had a choice to make. As the domain of blood control expanded, the density of the blood he could manipte diminished infinitely. Although Cell Neirs blood magic had ovee this drawback to some extent.. Ahg.! I cant maintain the form of blood anymore! Due to an interference from an unknown source of dominance, his blood magic was gradually destabilizing. Ultimately, Cell Neir reduced the size of his blood magic and released the blood tide. But it wasnt a simple release. Sshhh! Lowering the blood tide, almost ttening the area near the gate, he deactivated his blood magic. In an instant, a resounding boom echoed as a tremendous volume of blood surged downward as he had anticipated. Cell Neir stood upon the foundation made of blood and burst intoughter. Hahahaha! Foolish wretch! Did you really think someone whos not even a True Ancestral Vampire could interfere with blood of this magnitude? However, Cell Neirsughter didntst long. This was because ..Whats this? The buildings near the gate, upon which the blood tide had descended, remained unscathed. The scene was as if they hadnt been struck at all, and Cell Neir was baffled. So, where did the resounding boom just now originate? The answer to that question wasnt far away. Sringgg-. In response to the ominously resonating noise, Cell Neirs gaze shifted downward, and In an instant, he could see a bright red sword emanating the aura of blood. Chargingplete. Skill Counter Strike Shield is now in a state to reflect umted damage. Emitting crimson steam all over his body, a human male, holding a brilliantly gleaming sword in both hands.. Even without going throughplex thought processes, Cell Neir could instantly sense the danger. He trembled and swiftly drew blood from the city, wrapping his body with it. What the! Cell Neir had never seen such an overheated sword in his considerably long life. However, there was one simr instance he had heard of before. A tale of a hero who hade close to eradicating vampires with the holy sword. Thinking back, it was an annoyingly old-fashioned and almost mythical story. He had considered it merely a fabricated tale to intimidate vampires, but Watching the beam emitted from the red-glowing sword held by the human man changed his perspective. Unlike the stories he had heard in the past, it wasnt noble, instead, it was disturbingly intense in its redness. But there was no doubt that the light emitted from the sword in the human mans hand was a radiance meant to eradicate him. Ah. The hero, and the holy sword Was it a real tale? Han Sungyeuns Radiant Sword descended upon Cell Neir. [To be continued.] Chapter 117: Chapter 117:
Radiant Sword (Ω). Through the confrontation with Replica on the 12th floor, the technique of skill application that Han Sungyeun had learned In this trial as well, it was disyed with a power that could truly be considered catastrophic. Fwoosh! Yes, to a level that could genuinely be called catastrophic. Skill Truth Seeker of Blood (B-) has reached 100% proficiency. Skill Truth Seeker of Blood (B-) ss has increased by one level. Skill Counter Shield (B) has reached 100% proficiency. Skill Counter Shield (B) ss has increased by one level. The bted messages of skill growth hardly brought any sense of satisfaction. .. I looked on in astonishment at the vampire lord, rapidly exploding. Did I just blow up the vampire lord..? The attack, which had been executed with the Tsunami of blood, collided with the sword created by the Truth Seeker of Blood skills retaliation shield. Emitting the energy absorbed from the impact through the sword infused with the mastery of the Rolling Sword Of The Blue Sky , the Radiant Sword was released. This straightforward attack, executed with a simple principle, contained a power that was far beyond its apparent simplicity. It could unleash an attack powerful enough to explode the vampire lord, who had encased himself in armor formed from his own blood. Of course, there were additional elements such as the Blood Demon hole technique, the ming Sword, and the Lighting Sword Realm technique. Yet, even with these additional factors, producing destruction on this level was not an easy feat. At this point, its seriously giving me chills. Thinking that this is some crazy technique, it is strange indeed. As I pondered this, a thought urred to me. After all, the ultimate goal of the 13th floor trial was to kill the vampire lord. If the vampire lord was hit by the Radiant Sword, exploded and died, shouldnt the trial be over? The fact that the trial wasnt ending was, as far as I knew, an umon situation. This realization sent shivers down my spine as I looked at the remains of the vampire lord that had exploded in mid-air. Now, focusing on one of the fragments that had turned into a mere piece of flesh, I activated the me Dragons Core. And then Skill me Dragons Core has been activated. I could now understand. Remains of the vampire count Cell Neir'' ss: Currently being restored through the power of regeneration. I wondered why the message dering the end of the 13th-floor trial hadnt appeared. Could it be that even in that state, he can regenerate? The being identified as Cell Neir, the vampire lord, was more monstrous than one could imagine. Even though the body waspletely fragmented, being able to regenerate the body without dying.. Even the ashen blood vampire wouldnt boast such a dreadful regenerative ability. I was slightly repulsed by such monstrous regeneration, but I soon focused on the ability of regeneration itself. The power of resurrection, whether its the gods of battle or whatever, the vampires murmured about it, but it really had the power. Perhaps I could absorb the regenerative ability through the effect of extracting necromantic abilities When such a notion brushed my mind, I quickly shifted my thinking. Lets see what happens once he resurrects. The judgment of extracting necromantic abilities turned out to be surprisingly lenient. I felt it when I killed Kairan, the potential apostle, during the 11th-floor trial, but Its definitely not the case that you have to defeat an unbeatable opponent for the ability extraction to activate. There was a simr case in reality. As a user, you have faced a formidable opponent that is difficult to withstand. The skill Indomitable Will is in an active state. . Even though I easily killed Cell Neir, the fact that the Chain Skill was still active in such a case was a case in point. The criteria for the system to judge an opponent as too strong to handle might be somewhere else. With curiosity, as I stared at Cell Neirs body fragments, a change urred. Slurp! As the Truth Seeker of Blood, vitality surged within my body, and the remaining blood started gathering into fragments of flesh. Of course, if I had the intention, I could channel my mental energy to deliver a blow, but I didnt do that. I was intrigued and curious. I wondered how far the regeneration ability currently applied to Cell Neir extended. Moreover, I pondered if I could thwart and kill him using the methods I had in mind. His utilization of Truth Seeker of Blood could also be revealed through our fight, allowing me to understand how to counter them. Its interesting. All these questions seemed to have answers not too far away, and it was no wonder .that true heroes exist in this world. The reason being that Cell Neir had just resurrected, right before my eyes. His pale skin and even the white hair had been restored. Even the aristocratic air in his speech was palpable. Do not deny it. Youre not a mere human. You must be on par with me, if not surpass me. However, I listened to Cell Neirs words without any emotional response. Remember the name Cell Neir. It was only natural. It will be the name that signifies your impending death. Considering he was nothing more than a subject for my experiments, the fact that he was talking so much didnt matter to me. The ability Iron Blooded Sword is activated. The ability Blood Demon hole is activated. .. The skill Instant eleration is activated. The skill Battle Focus is activated. The users concentration has increased 4. The skill Winds Grace is activated. All speeds are increased by 70%. Current skill stack progress C 7/7. Somehow, it felt like an amusing sensation. ?- -? Unexpectedly, Cell Nair wasnt as helpless as before. Boom! He was utilizing his blood maniption skills to the fullest, attempting to deal me maximum effective damage. It was quite bothersome, like guided missiles following the trail of blood droplets and exploding. Even if I raised my durability to its maximum, this level of destruction could pierce through my flesh. I had to wield my dual swords to erase all the remnants of those explosions. Of course, using the Flying Sword of the Blue Sky made defense not that difficult, but His Truth Seeker of Blood Techniques are quite intriguing. In various ways, it was fascinating. Whether he was toning down his arrogance or bing more serious, I couldnt say for sure, but his use of Truth Seeker of Blood was different from when he simply summoned the Tsunami of Blood. It held a different allure. However, after a few exchanges, I felt disappointed by Cell Neir. The methods he was applying werent particrly remarkable. Its pathetic. Up until now, he hadnt developed his own abilities, and I wondered what he had been doing. So, when I said that, Cell Neirs forehead flushed with anger. You! Are you mocking me to the end! Of course, his anger didnt change anything. His Truth Seeker of Blood Techniques were still unremarkable in their execution. Nor were there many aspects that needed special consideration. There wasnt much to see regarding what set apart the Truth Seeker of Blood and what was superior. My skills or the vampire races inherent abilities, they are pretty much the same. Now, I thought it might be okay to finish the battle, but there was one problem. Cell Neir was able to regenerate even if hit directly by the Radiant Sword. His body could be shattered into fragments and still recover. Could he truly be killed? Ill understand if I explode him like before. I activated the skill enhancements that allowed me to move faster and swiftly darted like the wind. It seemed that Cell Neir momentarily lost sight of me, and then I created the Sword me. The ability Sword me Realm is activated. The skill Lighting Sword Qi is activated. Sringgg.! With my Truth Seeker of Blood activated as well, the crimson lightning adhered to the twin swords. Without a hint of hesitation, I swung both swords as if they were daggers. Boom! Although it wasnt as clean as when I used the Radiant Sword, Cell Nairs body was pulverized. However, he didnt give in easily. Do you really think you can kill me? Impossible! One time. Cough, cough! Dont think you can defeat me by inflicting pain on me! Two times. Its useless! Hahaha! You truly arent a real hero! Theres no way to kill me! Three times. Human or not, you cant escape thews of the body beyond a certain point! Youll soon tire and copse! Four times. Are you a real monster? How can you use magic and still remain standing? Five times. Achievement unlocked: Battlefield Artist.'' Skill Torture Techniques (D-) has been acquired. Stop it! Lets negotiate! Yes, negotiate or even strike a deal! Ill do anything you want if you spare me! Six times. I I said I would give you everything! If you have any wishes, Ill grant them! Seven times. Ce on, just kill me I cant live like this anymore Eight times. You youre no hero Youre nothing more than a rotten murderer! Nine times. Ten times. Achievement unlocked: Beginning of Madness.'' Skill Pain increase (D-) has been acquired. Please please, stop I surrender Ill offer everything to you.. Boom! Even after being killed ten times, Cell Nairs mouth continued to move, emitting weak, stuttered words. Cant you just die without making so much of a fuss? It seemed that his body was undergoing regeneration, not solely based on vitality like the ashen blood. Therefore, there appeared to be no limit to his regeneration. Hmm observing the fragments of Cell Nairs body regenerate while muttering, I thought. Maybe if there isnt a regeneration-proof ability, it might be impossible to kill him. This notion made sense, particrly given the events of this trial, which included finding a cleric. But, on the contrary, if there is regeneration-proof ability, it means he can be killed. From that perspective, I could think about the attribute that could be imbued into the me Sword. The swords edge imparts the attribute of cutting through all things, and the me Sword adds the attribute of crushing the essence of all things. If I were to alter one of these attributes, what would happen? What if I rece the attribute of cutting with the attribute of regeneration suppression? Is that possible? It seemed worthwhile to attempt. The attributes of the sword energy and the me energy were structures generated by intention (). If I didnt wish for regeneration, it was certain that such attributes would be added. And that theory turned into actual sess. Kyaah! Kuk, kuh-eok Huh, huhu , finally, to die Cell Neirs body, which didnt regenerate at all, gradually turned cold and eventually, when his pupilspletely disappeared, he faced true death. The exclusive effect of the True Blood Demon Sword (A-), Blood Feast (Ѫʳ), is activated. The items rank is upgraded to A- (300/1,400) by absorbing the blood of the vampire lord, Cell Neir. An is inscribed in the Blood Feast exclusive slot by absorbing Cell Neirs blood. Simultaneously with the activation of the new exclusive effect of the True Blood Demon Sword, Blood Feast, another message appeared. Congrattions, you have cleared the 13th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, a Random Skill Codex (A+) will be transferred to your inventory. As a breakthrough reward, you have gained 90,000 points. As a breakthrough reward, you have gained 4,000 SP. As an additional breakthrough reward, you have gained 5,000 SP. Please proceed to the waiting room. The 13th-floor trial hade to an end. [To be continued.] Chapter 118: Chapter 118:
Congrattions. You have cleared Floor 13 of the Trial Tower. As a breakthrough reward, a Random Skill Tome (A+) has been sent to your inventory. As a breakthrough reward, you have gained 90,000 points.'' As a breakthrough reward, you have gained 4,000 SP.'' As an additional breakthrough reward, you have gained 5,000 SP.'' Please proceed to the waiting room. Even the system message acknowledged Cell Neirs death.. Soon, a portal appeared next to Cell Neirs lifeless body. Finally, its over. Technically, I had only used up one out of the remaining 14 days, but it still felt like a significant amount of time. And rightly so.. The Vampire Lord was too weak. Cell Neir, who had appeared as the final enemy on the 13th floor, was much weaker than I had anticipated. It would have been better if he had at least fled the city or tried to escape. I might have even pursued him using the mini-map. But he didnt do any of that. Instead, he appeared in a shy manner and met his demise in a pitiful way, which was expected. Of course, separate from the somewhat trivial aspects, the 13th floor had a considerable positive impact on my growth. The proficiency I had built up in necromancy by ughtering the vampires and the significantly improved attributes were evidence of that. If absorbing even Cell Neirs authority increases my necromancy rank Though I couldnt absorb his skills, I had engraved a skill onto the Blood Demon Sword using its Blood Feast ability And I didnt just gain that one skill. I gained two skills through achievements. The Torture Technique (D-) was obtained from the strange achievement Torturers Start. Skill C Torture Technique (D-) Proficiency C None Description C Gain experience in torture, enabling more efficient methods of torture. Effect C When targeting an incapacitated opponent, it bes easier to instill fear, increasing torture efficiency by 10%. Pain Increase (D-) was obtained by achieving the achievement The Beginning of Madness. Skill C Pain Increase (D-) Proficiency C None Description C Can amplify the pain experienced by the target. Effect C Inflicting damage on the opponent doubles the pain experienced by them. Strangely, I achieved consecutive achievements and ended up acquiring these skills, though the contents of the skills were not particrly well-suited forbat. The Torture Technique makes it easier to torture incapacitated opponents, while Pain Increase is a skill that amplifies the pain felt by the target. I sighed. I had no idea how I had achieved these kinds of achievements. I never acquired skills like Torture Technique or Pain Increase in the first ce. When I considered my options, Pain Increase, as sinister as it was, seemed rtively better. Doubling someone elses pain might actually disrupt their focus inbat. Of course, those ustomed to pain might not be bothered, but it was better than nothing. However, these two skills were just extras, and the main pointy elsewhere. It was.. Blood Feasts unique slot(1/3) It was the result of the growth achieved by the Blood Demon Sword. As far as I was concerned, it was quite satisfying, considering it brought the most useful part of Cell Neirs blood maniption. The ability to enhance blood to boost durability and authority was not that different from resisting abilities of a simr type. Of course, even with this kind of ability, considering that my Blood Dominion was taken away, there must be limits to enhancing blood too What mattered was that the concept of cost didnt exist for the Blood Demon sword. The Torture Technique makes it easier to torture incapacitated opponents, while Pain Increase is a skill that amplifies the pain felt by the target. Blood Fortify requires no mana and has no cooldown, allowing it to be activated at any time up to its limit. Activating of the True Blood Demon Sword. I stood there and coldly activated the Blood Fortify using Cell Neirs cold blood. I could immediately discern the benefits of the Blood Fortify skill, which didnt deviate significantly from what I had imagined. Deactivating of the True Blood Demon Sword. After discontinuing the use of Blood Fortify, I shifted my gaze towards Cell Neirs emblem. The emblem, created through necromancy, emitted smoke-like patterns that enticed me like a whirlpool. Absorbing the Spirit of the Vampire Lord Cell Neir. Proficiency increases by 17%. As I absorbed the spirit of Cell Neir, a sense of slight disappointment washed over me. I still havent fully filled the proficiency Despite the impressive disy of blood magic, my proficiency didnt increase as much as I had hoped, considering the powerful effect it demonstrated. Surprisingly, I had gained even less proficiencypared to the replica, encountered on the 12th floor, leaving me feeling somewhat disappointed. However, that disappointment was short-lived. Commencing judgment for ability extraction by absorbing a Spirit stronger than the user. Despite not feeling substantially stronger than me, the ability extraction was triggered. I furrowed my brows, ring at the system message, and found myself lost in contemtion. I have no idea where the criteria for determining unbearable foes or strong opponents lie. It didnt seem like the judgment was solely based on purebat abilities. Perhaps it could be rted to attributes like stats, skills, or abilities. Those who received the judgment of being unbearable foes or strong opponents seemed to possess more skills and abilities than me. Or it might be entirely focused on abilities and powers. Judgment sessful. At least, it wasnt determined solely based onbat abilities. Confirmed the existence of authority in Lord of Blood Cell Neirsmand. Extracting authority from themand. And then Ability Faith Harvest (C+) is engraved on the soul of the user, Han Sungyeun. Subsequently, a rather vague ability called Faith Harvest was absorbed by me. Faith Harvest? I pondered what this ability was all about, but the thought didnt linger for long. Ability Faith Harvest is strongly activated. Harvesting faith in you from the surroundings. Just like resolving my curiosity, the ability Faith Harvest activated on its own. Ability Divine Power is strongly activated. !? Just like two interconnected mechanisms, my heart started to pound in sync with the activation of divine power. Actual results and Legends based on believers faith are calcted. An unfamiliar message appeared, and my heart was engulfed by the power of divinity. What is this? Before I could fully grasp the situation, more messages emerged. Legend ispleted. Legend is umted with divine power. From now on, Challenger Han Sungyeuns divine attacks are imbued with the effect. From now on, Challenger Han Sungyeuns divine attacks are imbued with the effect. After reading through the messages, I was left speechless. ?- -? Divine power. I had initially regarded this ability I gained on the 11th floor as something I might use at ater time. However, as I ascended the floors, divine power seemed to be inducing peculiar changes within me. I was bewildered about how the unknown absorption ability, divine extraction, had been triggered before. This time, the situation was even more advanced than that. The abilities of Faith Harvest and Divine Power were triggered simultaneously, resulting in Legend umtion. The acquired effects were roughly as follows: Ability Divine Power is activated. Previously, circting divine power within my body merely made my body emit a radiant glow. However, now when I touched upon the sensation that stirred within my body, a new effect emerged. Legend is activated. Divine attacks gain the effect. Divine attacks gain the effect. This is truly unbelievable. Iughed hollowly while observing the divine light coursing through my entire body. I now seemed to understand the function of the Legend umtion obtained on the 13th floors waiting room. It involved generating new abilities within an existing ability, forming a Legend through a connection with Divine Harvest. Of course, activating the Legend within an ability consumed the established divine power in my heart. The divine power I had never properly depleted before was rapidly draining. Legend is deactivated. I then deactivated the newly acquired Legend to halt the expenditure of divine power. Well, it wouldnt make sense if it had no cost at all. However, even with a cost being incurred, I found the concept of this Legend to be rather absurd. It was reasonable to think that way. After all, unique abilities seemed to emerge from actual experiences as if thats why they were no different from innate powers. Preventing the revival of the vampire lord Cell Neir and killing him resulted in the effect, and along with that, ughtering the vampires within the city led to the effect. But that was truly strange. 11th-floor clerics I saw before didnt have these abilities. The clerics I encountered on the 11th floor didnt possess such capabilities. At most, they seemed to have recovery and attack-type abilities, and those seemed to be special abilities only avable to fully-fledged apostles. Cell Neir was no different. As the leader of the vampire worshippers of the God of Battle, he indeed had powers.. but they never crossed the line of such excessive radicalism. If Cell Neir had abilities nested within abilities like Legends, the course of the fight would have been different. However, the battle went in my favor from start to finish, and there were no changes in the situation. What in the world is my divine power? Why is it different in direction from other divine powers? Of course, pondering didnt guarantee finding answers, but the doubt was natural. However, I was only caught in those thoughts for a moment. The God of Battle recognizes your existence. Without a moment to ponder, the sudden system message drew my half-lidded eyes. The message that the God of Battle recognized me held a significant implication. There is a god on the 13th floor.. Just like there was the God Of Proof on the 11th floor. On this 13th-floor stage, there was the God of Battle. It wasnt as if there were no premonitions about the God of Battle. I could deduce from the vampires chatter about the God of Battle and upon examining Cell Neir inside the me Dragon Sanctuary that he possessed abilities. So, I wasnt surprised. The God of Battle realizes that his prospective apostle, who had been recreated, has died. I knew that the God wouldnt harbor ill intentions towards me, nor could he harm me. The Tower had a will to protect me, and the God wouldnt dare to directly oppose the Tower. Of course, if the God of Battle consumed divine power favorably like the God of Proof did, the story might have been different. The God of Battle recognizes the divine power you possess and harbors animosity towards you. Unlike the Proof God, the God of Battle didnt hold favor towards me, instead, he harbored animosity. The God of Battle ims that the Tower has gone too far in raising a mere human subject. The God of Battle feels displeased that a mere mortal has embraced divinity. Through this animosity, I realized that what the Proof God told me on the 11th floor was true. Do not trust the gods. They will now see you as an enemy. The God of Battle remembers challenger Han Sungyeun. The God of Battle was hostile towards me. .. However, unlike when I faced the Proof God, I wasnt afraid of the God. Maybe it was because I had experienced divine power firsthand, or maybe it was due to the indirect warning I had received. Despite the stern warning from the God of Battle, I felt a simr conviction that I wouldnt be intimidated. I dont like this. Instead of feeling fear from the Gods message, I felt anger and that anger soon transformed into a new desire, stimting me. Crossing the line by embracing divinity? The God of Battle was antagonizing me, iming that merely embracing divinity crossed a line that the Tower had established. Bullshit. I refused to tremble and submit to this irrational antagonism. The Tower had granted me boundless potential through the Trial of the Tower. So, there was no room for capittion. I need to grow further. To the point where the gods cant treat me lightly. I stared at the system message and felt it in my gut. Now, I realized I couldnt stop climbing the Tower. [To be continued.] Chapter 119: Chapter 119:
With the message that the God of Battle felt hostility towards me, it seemed that it expressed no further intention. Perhaps, like the God of Proof, it had ceased its action due to needing to expend divine energy for the Tower. Of course, whether I liked it or not, the hostility from the God of Battle remained unchanged. While within the Tower, the God couldnt exert a direct influence on me, yet the potential indirect influence through the use of deities remained uncertain and worrisome. It was displeasing. Merely absorbing divine energy led to the Tower calling me a dog. Honestly, even though I tried not to feel irritated, I couldnt help but feel annoyed. However, I had already grasped a certain degree of solution to this matter. Since this chaos was caused by divine energy, the solution should lie within divine energy. The concept newly incorporated into divine energy, known as Legend, seemed to hold the key. Activating the categorized under Legend resulted in effects such as Cannot be regenerated and Demon Expulsion. If I could further develop this divine energy ability, could I eventually stand against a God? However, the puzzle was Faith Harvest, an unfamiliar ability. Why is Faith Harvest connected to divine energy? Could it be akin to how Cell Neir, as the Vampire Lord, led the vampires? Now that I thought about it, the vampires, led by Cell Neir, were worshiping the God of Battle. Could Faith Harvest be Cell Neir harvesting the vampires faith and offering it to the God of Battle? It made sense since Cell Neir wouldnt harvest faith for himself. No, dwelling on this further would be meaningless. Of course, my guess wasnt perfect, so I decided not to think too deeply about it. The important thing was the connection between the Faith Harvest ability and the generation of Legend. The two abilities of divine energy and Faith Harvest were simr to gears that had been separate but were now meshing and functioning properly. Though the meshing of the gears hadnt been intentionally nned, and I didnt yet understand the system behind it, at least I had a rough idea. For now, I should absorb the Vampire Lords spirit and learn how Faith Harvest works. I decided to properly investigate Faith Harvest before moving on to the waiting room. Absorbing the Spirit of the Vampire Lord Cell Neir to permanently increase ability stats. Strength has increased by 5. Agility has increased by 4. Stamina has increased by 6. Magic power has increased by 7. Endurance has increased by 5. As I absorbed Cell Neirs spirit, my ability stats increased significantly. Absorbing one of the skills possessed by the Vampire Lord Cell Neir. Acquired skill Charisma (C-). Furthermore, I could even acquire an unfamiliar skill called Charisma. 3. The rewards from absorbing Cell Neirs sovereignty didnt end there. Detected the divinity in the Vampire Lord Cell Neirs sovereignty. Condition met for activating ability Divine Energy.'' Attempting divine extraction. This was a message I had seen once in the waiting room. Again? The divine extraction, which elevated my divine energy rank to B-, was triggered. Divine extraction sessful. Rank of ability Divine Energy (B-) increases to Divine Energy (B). Through ability Divine Energy (B), the umtion of Legend will now proceed more quickly. Finally, the message ended, and my divine energy rank increased by one level. Meeting the condition once again triggered divine extraction. I had a sense of what the conditions for divine extraction were now. It depended on whether the spirit held divine energy. If it holds divine energy, divine extraction activates; if not, nothing happens. However, the criteria were vague. The fact that divine energy wasnt extracted when I killed the vampires meant that only those possessing divine energy at a simr rank to mine had their divine energy absorbed. While analyzing all of this might not have practical application, knowing what was known and unknown was vastly different. It was as if I was gaining a certain level of control over the divine extraction. Perhaps there mighte a time when I intentionally use divine extraction. Now I had a better understanding of divine extraction. What remained was understanding the why and how of Faith Harvest, which surprisingly, I could easily uncover. After all. Oh, oh! To defeat the Vampire Lord single-handedly! You are indeed the hero! I cant believe the hero himself hase! Truly, the deity has not abandoned us! Representative of the mighty God, thank you for extending the hand of salvation to us! Ability Faith Harvest detects strong faith towards the user. Faith already harvested through ability Faith Harvest. Ability Faith Harvest is not activated. People appeared throughout the city, likely considered targets for Faith Harvest. ?- -? These individuals appearing across the city were not ordinary folk. Indicates concealed clerics in the city upied by vampires. . As I looked at the mini-map, there was no doubt about this fact. Yes. These people are all clerics.. The people gathered around me could be considered key cleric members to break through the 13th-floor trial. Of course, after personally killing the Vampire Lord Cell Neir, there was little utility in this regard. Ability Faith Harvest detects strong faith towards the user. Faith already harvested through ability Faith Harvest. Ability Faith Harvest is not activated. Reflecting on the recent messages, I could understand that these individuals faith had already been harvested by me. I didnt expect the strongest savior of all to save us..! To y the vicious Vampire Lord.. he definitely is the will of God..! ying the vampires with ease.he surely has mass strength.! After hearing the clerics, I got the idea why it harvested to me They think Im just a Knight sent by the order. In another perspective, the faith I harvested was somewhat simr. But I wasnt a will of God nor a Knight as the clerics thought. However It seems as if the faith sent by mistake is also recognized as faith. Although knowing the fact, I didnt think to tell the truth. The faith may as well give benefits towards me, why help to reject it? Theres no need for that. It felt a slight guilt, but it wasnt a total fraud. Well, I didnt lie. I did kill the Vampire Lord and had abilities, so it was true. And I had never imed to be a knight from the order myself. Achievement unlocked: Did Not Lie.'' Magic power increased by 1. Of course, the system rewarded this achievement as if refuting my thoughts. Although receiving rewards for achievements so easily was good, somehow, I felt a strange prickliness about this one. However, given the current importance of stat increases, this prickliness was soon overshadowed by the fact that my stats had risen. It might be better if more of these kinds of achievements are unlocked. Just as I was hoping for more achievements, the situation changed. Mr. Han Sungyeun? Suddenly, the team members who had brought the clerics to me approached, looking a bit hesitant. Um, Mr. Han, theres something were curious about. May we ask? Despite the respectful approach, I could sense an air of anxiety from them. Is there something you want to ask me? I looked at them as if waiting for their question, and Michimoto Sachio spoke up. Theres one thing were curious about. Would it be alright to ask? While it felt like he was treating me like an aristocrat, I noticed that David Taylor and Andrey Tarkovsky behaved the same way. Both of them were behind Mitsumoto Sachiho, but they were looking at me with an extremely polite attitude. Feeling intrigued by their stance, I granted permission for Michimoto Sachio to ask his question. Please go ahead. Mitsumoto Sachiho hesitated as before and presented his question to me. Um Do you really consider yourself to be a chosen Knight by the gods? I felt my mind go nk at a question I hadnt expected. A chosen hero by the gods? What kind of question is that? I wanted to retort that it made no sense for anyone to be a chosen hero when all of us were just challengers climbing the Tower. However, instead of immediately denying it, I asked them why they thought that way. Why do you think that? Well, you see to defeat the Vampire Lord, who can only be in by one who possesses divine power its just that What are you talking about? ording to the clerics, they said the Vampire Lord can only be killed if you have divine power. So, we thought maybe you are a Knight after all . I was taken aback. Could even those who operated as hunters outside the Tower have such thoughts? It was even more astonishinging from those who were aware of the Administrators abilities. While it was true that the Vampire Lord couldnt be killed without divine power. there was a fair chance that Administrator abilities,known as quasi-divine powers, would hold the capability to inflict effective damage on the Vampire Lord. From the beginning, if you look at the Administrators abilities, they are a form of quasi-divine power bestowed by the gods. They were merely under the misunderstanding, believing that only through divine power could one defeat the Vampire Lord. It was a somewhat absurd misconception. I was about to respond that it wasnt the case, but I swallowed those words. Why? Because Ability Faith Harvest detects strong faith towards the user. Ability Faith Harvest is in a state where it can be activated. theyre quite simr. It was due to the Faith Harvest ability that had piled up faith for me in the ceremony. If I could exploit this misunderstanding well, I could also harvest faith from them. And.. As expected! To kill such a monster, you must have been a divine apostle! Oh my Did Gods really exist in the Tower? I almost couldnt believe it, but he really was Gods representative? They readily epted my somewhat thoughtless words. . Although I felt a tinge of guilt due to their unwavering trust, I was also astonished by their gullibility. Ability Faith Harvest is activated. Harvesting faith in your vicinity. Insufficient foundation and faith to form a myth. Harvested faith will be stored for the next Legend. Great. The thought of the rewards I would receiveter helped ease the guilt away. [To be continued.] Chapter 120: Chapter 120:
The unified trial of the 13th floor hade to an end. Michimoto Sachio, Andrei Tarkovsky, and David Taylor I had the rare experience of meeting famous hunters from around the world, yet it didnt excite me much. The gap has widened more than I imagined. While I might have felt differently when I had just entered the Tower, now their levels seemed quite low to me. So, without engaging in further conversation, I casually made my way through the portal. I had harvested faith, and there was nothing more to gain from the 13th floor. I wondered if other challengers at a simr rank felt the same, but I had no way of knowing. When the next unified triales around, Ill probably meet people of higher rank. I simply thought that I would meet them when the time was right. Entering the 14th floor waiting room. The system is expanding. Exclusive items foryer pration will be added to the Contractor-exclusive shop. Enhancement items for afterglow will be added to the Contractor-exclusive shop. Potion-type items will be added to the Contractor-exclusive shop. When I used the portal and crossed into space, the familiar waiting room appeared. It was a calm and empty ce that I had be ustomed to. Another system expansion This time, the system expansion involved adding items to the Contractor-exclusive shop. Fromyer pration items to afterglow enhancement items and even potion-type items. Many high-quality items had been added, which piqued my interest in the Contractor-exclusive shop. Now that I think about it, Ive never opened the section for skills or items in the Contractor-exclusive shop. It made sense. Spending special points on anything other than abilities felt like a waste. While now, with the addition of breakthrough rewards, I umted 10,000 special points with each floor I passed, in the past I had saved them up to afford abilities that were worth purchasing. So, I never bothered to open sections like skills or items. But the situation has changed. Now, the Contractor-exclusive shop was offering items like afterglow enhancements and potions. There were even special items rted toyer pration, so it was only natural to take an interest. Although I couldnt immediately decide what to buy, I needed to understand what had changed. Exclusive Shop. Contractor-exclusive Shop SP C 11,500 Category: Skills Category: Abilities Category: Items Contractor: Iron Blooded Monarch and White Crane Sword Saint Note: First contractor of the Administrator Iron Blooded Monarch and disciple of the Administrator White Crane Sword Saint. Originally, I would have looked into abilities first, but this time, it was the opposite. I chose the category of items under the abilities section. Viewing the Category: Items in the Contractor-exclusive shop. And listing items avable for purchase. A list of items I had never seen before appeared. No.387: Magic Engineering Suit Gospel for the Demon Worshippers ceremony gospels Cursed Crow Mask Holy Knights Ash-light Grand Sword Unknown sword Masters sheath Those were all quite impressive items, but they didnt align with my interests. Even after scrolling down the screen, I didnt find any items that caught my attention. Continuing this exploration would be a waste of time, so I immediately went into the settings, represented by the gear icon at the top of the screen, and adjusted them anew. It only took two adjustments. Listing items based on floor pration. Floor Intrusion Penalty Mitigation Stone Grade: A- Price: 8,000 SP Basic Description: When consumed, this item can alleviate the skill restrictions and stat reductions of floor pration penalties. However, this item can only be used when prating the floor of a challenger whose floor difference is within 6 floors. One of the settings was rted to items for floor pration. Listing items based on afterglow enhancement. Halo Intensification Stone Grade: A- Price: 10,000 SP Basic Description: When consumed, this item enhances afterglow, reinforcing unique abilities and afterglow effects to matchtent abilities. However, iftent abilities are insufficient, afterglow enhancement effects may not ur. The other setting was about afterglow enhancement. Although only one item was disyed for each setting, both items had remarkable effects that defiedmon sense. Honestly, I could easily skip over the afterglow enhancement part below. It was an item that could be disadvantageous to enhance, and I didnt feel the need to enhance afterglow myself. However, it was different with the floor pration item. Floor Intrusion Penalty Mitigation.. thats quite risky. It was a significantly dangerous item. If someone like NamGung hyuk were to use such an item, they would be a formidable opponent. Of course, if the floor difference was too great, it wouldnt be usable, and the price of the item was also substantial. However, challengers like NamGung hyuk would likely have enough points to spare, so there would be sufficient room for purchasing. That was the issue. NamGung hyuk didnt show me his full power. At that time, he was constrained by the penalties due to Katherine Bs ability and didnt have the chance to fight at his best. If he had fought in his prime condition, it would have likely resulted in his defeat. But the situation had changed. Through ascending three floors, I had grown significantly. I had learned the Sword me, realized my talents, and fully manifested my sacred power. Moreover, it wasnt just my strength that had changed. My mindset has changed as well. As a fully-fledged warrior, my mental attitude had improved, and my mental strength had also increased. The results of this growth were clear from my ranking in the final standings. Now, I was close to being the strongest among Earths challengers. So, I had a gut feeling that the nature of battles would change from before. Even if NamGung hyuk is in his best condition, the nature of the battle in Tokyo will change. However, that didnt mean I would face the next trial without any preparation. If NamGung hyuk didnt bear the burden of the floor pration penalty, then I needed to be cautious as well. I need to enhance mybat abilities by purchasing abilities. It was a consideration to purchase one of the Administrators abilities to enhance my strength. I had already decided on what ability to purchase. Ability: Sword Masters Path (S) Price: 10,000 SP Description: This ability is often gained by those who wield swords among those who get caught in the paradox of bing strong to live and living to be strong. It allows the user to develop unique skills regarding swords and easily manifest exclusive insights. Originally, due to my low talents, I hadnt considered abilities like this. However.. Purchased Ability: Path of the Sword Reaper (S). 10,000 SP will be deducted. Now, it wasnt the same. I was drawn to the fact that I could develop unique sword skills when it came to swords, leaving aside other concepts. Not only did I have NamGung Hyuks stolen swordsmanship, but also the sword skills I would encounter and steal in the future. Looking ahead, this ability would undoubtedly be a great asset for me. However, there was a hitch. I dont know how to develop skills. I couldnt grasp how to activate this ability to develop skills. There was no way to activate the ability arbitrarily, and there wasnt any distinct change in feeling. So, I stood there, lost in thought, pondering the mystery. But my curiosity wasnt left hanging for long. As if understanding that I could get my answers directly from her, the following message appeared: Administrator White Crane Sword Saint invites you to the Administrators realm. Curiosity piqued, I epted the invitation and moved to the realm. Long time no see, SungYeun. As I entered the Chinese-style mansion, White Crane Sword Saint greeted me cheerfully. From her snowy white hair to her unlined white robe, she looked just as I remembered. However. . there was a subtle change in White Crane Sword Saint s attitude. Whereas before, she had referred to me as you, now she addressed me more familiarly by my name. Her gaze even held a strange anticipation. Whats going on? It was at that moment, as I felt the enigmatic anticipation in her eyes, that I began to feel puzzled. That girl told me that you have the NamGung noble familys child as an enemy. Interrupting White Crane Sword Saint , I responded, Yes Somehow, it seems that Ive be their foe . I understand. Martial artists love fighting to subjugate each other, after all. I gazed at White Crane Sword Saints still cheerful face, momentarily silenced. It reminds me of the past. Once, when I was climbing the Tower, there were days when I fought like Sung Yeun It was as if she justified NamGung hyuks actions. . Being an administrator from the world of the martial arts, White Crane Sword Saint seemed to easily understand even these convoluted thought processes. Although, even without that, her attitude didnt quite match someone from the world of the martial arts. Or maybe it doesnt match as much as I thought. As I was lost in these thoughts, White Crane Sword Saint continued speaking. Sung Yeun, did you use special points to buy my ability because of Nam Gung noble family? Thats correct. And I responded to the invitation to seek advice about this ability. Hehe If thats the case, then youve definitely made a good choice. ..? For some reason, looking at the sparkling White Crane Sword Saint , I felt puzzled. She soon spoke again. Sung Yeun, to usemon phrasing, you could be called a genius. A genius Thats not urate. Im just good at imitating things. That was true. I hadnt fully copied the skills from the martial arts dimension known as Mugong. I had only taken parts of NamGung hyuks swordsmanship that I could use, modified them to fit my style, and used them. Of course, from the perspective of another dimension, I did have talents that could be considered talent. However, I hadnt yet reached a level where I could be called a genius. From instinctively following the forms of swordsmanship, youve surpassed the realm of simple imitation. But even that had been a rather exceptional case You even grasped the essence of sword intent during the 12th floor trial and modified the swordsmanship itself into dual-wielding style. White Crane Sword Saint rified that it wasnt merely imitation. Thats not an area that can be called pure imitation. In fact, I didnt have much knowledge about martial arts, so I closed my mouth and listened to White Crane Sword Saints words. Even though you didnt learn all the moves of the NamGung noble familys Flying Sword of Blue Sky technique, you gained some moves and modified them. That alone shows you have the potential of a Sect leader. Sect leader? It means you could establish a new martial arts lineage, just as the founder of a sect would. . From that perspective, the ability you chose this time was an excellent choice. White Crane Sword Saint looked at me with a twinkling gaze and continued. From now on, everything you learn andprehend will be a source of power acknowledged by the Tower. Then she blushed slightly and averted her gaze, as if embarrassed, before speaking again. That part, I will teach you from now on. Well, I have a proposal. And if its a proposal? Well, Id like you to be my disciple. Disciple? Ah, is this about the sacred power? If thats the case, its mostly resolved now No, its not about that I just want to teach you purely from a technical perspective. As she continued, I began to realize why she had shown such a familiar attitude toward me. In short, lets establish a master-disciple rtionship.. It was a moment I had never consideredthe moment a master appeared. [To be continued.] Chapter 121: Chapter 121:
Master-disciple rtionship. When tranted literally, it means the rtionship between a master and a disciple.. However, I had never imagined that I would be someones disciple. It was reasonable. In the past, there was no one willing to take an inept Awakener like me as a disciple. After I began ascending the Tower, I didnt really need a master. Absorbing stats, skills, and abilities through my necromancy ability. I could obtain most things I wanted. It was only natural. Since realizing my talent during the 12th floor trial, I had gained expertise not only in skills but also in techniques. Because of this, even throughout my life, I had never truly thought about the concept of a master-disciple rtionship. But If we form a master-disciple bond, what will I learn? You will learn many things. First, youll learn about my martial arts Im willing to learn. Should I start calling you Master from now on? .. I immediately agreed to White Crane Sword Saints proposal to be her disciple. That was understandable as well White Crane Sword Saint is a challenger who has climbed beyond the 40th floor. The fact that I could learn from White Crane Sword Saint was akin to a stroke of luck. There was no reason to refuse when a challenger who had climbed beyond the 40th floor was willing to directly pass on their techniques. Even NamGung hyuks swordsmanship was already so powerful, but White Crane Sword Saints swordsmanship should be even more worthwhile. Moreover, by looking at White Crane Sword Saints abilities, I could gauge how strong she was. The opportunity to learn from a powerful individual was clear, so I didnt hesitate much. Although my answer might seem purely opportunistic, White Crane Sword Saint seemed surprised by how quickly I agreed. Sung Yeun, Im not forcing you into this. You can take more time to think if you want I understand. However, I have no intention of refusing this opportunity to learn. It was sincere. Ever since I read the message from the God of Battle during the 13th floor Integrated Trial, I had felt this way. Bing stronger and stronger, to the point where even a god wouldnt dare to treat me lightlythat was my goal. . After seeming to ponder for a moment, White Crane Sword Saint nodded. Sung Yeun, if thats your intention, I will ept. Just dont regret itter. Regret. the appearance of this word was unexpected, and I posed a question. Are you nning to treat me so harshly that Ill regret it? In truth, if the situation was harsh enough to lead to regrets, I would wee it. Harshness could also raise skill proficiency and experience due to the necromancys mechanics. And through that process, there could be achievements even in techniques that werent skills. If results could be achieved not only with skills but also with techniques, then it could be considered the best oue. However, judging by White Crane Sword Saints reaction, she didnt seem to have such harsh ns in mind. Its not like that . For someone like me, a master is usually a once-in-a-lifetime presence, so dont worry about regrets. Ah. I see. But even so, I didnt have any particr thoughts about that. If having a master is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, isnt that actually a good thing? There would be no opportunity to have someone as powerful and with such strong principles as White Crane Sword Saint among the martial artists. Most of the people in the martial arts world that I had encountered were arrogant and narrow-minded, with nothing worth learning. Techniques? While I could steal them, I could never learn them officially in the martial arts world. Among the martial artists, where could I find someone to be my master? If I was going to choose a master, it would be better to do so here. Thus, I felt I wouldnt regret the decision. It might be a bit long-winded, but to put it simply, Im asking whether youll regret bing my disciple. If thats what youre asking, then you dont need to worry. I wont have any regrets. My immediate answer seemed to pleaseWhite Crane Sword Saint, as her face slightly reddened. Is that so. However, that feeling was short-lived. Then, ording to the protocol, I will formally introduce myself. Suddenly, a seriousness swept over White Crane Sword Saints face, and her lips began to move. I am the 17th generation head of the Baek Swordsman Family(τ), and simultaneously, the foremost expert of the entire martial world. Despite the forceful and intense tone that almost seemed to carry weight in her words, what stunned me even more was the self-introduction she was giving. The person who will be your master is Baek Seolhwa (ѩ), a martial artist It turns out my administrator was the foremost expert of the entire martial world. ?- -? Foremost expert of the martial world. The meaning was simple. It referred to the strongest of the strong in a world without a foe to match strength. Of course, the modifier foremost was added, but that wasnt the important part. Whats important is that the person who will be my master is that powerful. As I absorbed this information, Ipleted the introduction, as White Crane Sword Saint had instructed. Satisfied, she opened her mouth. The period during which Sung Yeun will receive instruction wont be very long. .? Excluding the initial learning phase, Sung Yeun wont have much else to learn. What do you mean? Its simple. After the initial learning, Sung Yeun wont need much training, just like how you can immediately use the Flying Blue Sword techniques of the Namgung noble family in realbat without formally learning it. .. Flying Blue Sword Technique (n섦). It seems to be the formal name of Nam Gung hyuks sword technique If I could use it directly, it seemed like I wouldnt need a long period of training. You are quite a genius. You dont need repetitive training and sparring. Its better for you to finish learning the basic theory and vision martial arts and go straight into practicalbat. With those words, I nodded, and White Crane Sword Saint continued to exin her theoretical teachings. Martial arts are broadly divided into Breathing techniques and Body techniques. To summarize the brief theoretical teachings Breathing techniques gather the external mana into the body, and the gathered mana is called Internal energy. Body techniques refer to using the body, like sword skills All this together is called martial arts and an exact breathing technique can be used by a peculiar internal energy.. During this quite extensive exnation, a question arose in my mind. Come to think of it, doesnt Blood Demon hole also belong to a Breathing technique? The power I received from the Administrator Fallen Heir of the Blood Demon Cult , was somewhat simr to a form of Breathing techniques. While it didnt refine and store external mana in a location like the normal Breathing technique methods, when activated, it temporarily converted internal mana into inner strength. I have a question While I was pondering this, I decided to ask White Crane Sword Saint directly. The ability of Blood Demon Hole to convert mana into inner strength was in question. What did you just say? And in that moment, White Crane Sword Saints pupils lost their vitality and became hollow. The clear and innocent eyes lost their light for the first time and took on an unfamiliar atmosphere. Youre learning Breathing techniques Tell me more. Quickly. I began to say, I think Ive been learning something simr to Breathing techniques so far. In reality, it might not be a problem since its somewhat different from ordinary Breathing techniques, but.. Since I had no exact knowledge about martial arts, I thought it was better to ask White Crane Sword Saint. Simr? Wait, youre not learning Aura from that woman, the Iron-Blooded Monarch, are you? Aura. Is that a concept of another worlds martial arts? These were concepts I had neither heard nor seen on Earth.. It seemed like the refinement and storage of external mana were quitemon in other worlds. Well, its probably a concept that doesnt exist in worlds without systems or unique abilities. I thought that perhaps Earths dimension was less developed in these aspectspared to other dimensions. But I couldnt hold onto these thoughts for long. Because White Crane Sword Saints eyes, which had lost their light, continued to urge me for an answer. Did you learn? Aura? From that woman? No, its just that Its impossible. What? Before I could give an immediate answer, White Crane Sword Saint muttered as if whispering. I couldnt sense her residue, and somehow, I cant feel anything other than this sinister presence.. but shes not the kind to break such agreements? ? Its unbelievable. I need to confirm this properly. Confirm What exactly Before I could finish my sentence, White Crane Sword Saint approached me closely. I suddenly realized that her hand had discreetly moved beneath my clothes and touched my skin. Not even the outer garment, but the flesh underneath. Her small, cool hand against my skin made my heart race as if a gong were ringing. How did she suddenly? She was right in front of me, yet I hadnt noticed her movement until her hand made contact. If this had been an enemys hand, it would have been quite dangerous. Ill have to ask her if I can learn thister. If this was a skill rather than a technique, I would definitely be able to learn it. With this thought in mind, I attempted to pull back, but I couldnt. Her other hand had already caught my waist, blocking my way. I wanted to ask what kind of confirmation this was, but Hush Be quiet for a moment. White Crane Sword Saints words interrupted my intention to speak further. . I watched White Crane Sword Saint closely, my waist slightly bent as I concentrated on her. The faint scent of cloves, difficult to determine its origin, gently brushed against my nose and tickled my sense of smell. As I stood there, momentarily emptying my mind, White Crane Sword Saint removed her hand from me. Her touch, which had slipped beneath my clothes, receded, and then she opened her mouth to deliver the results of her confirmation. After removing pure mana, there doesnt seem to be any trace of a separate Breathing technique Her expression turned strange, as if she had seen a trick, almost like a doctor diagnosing a mysterious ailment. ?- -? It feels ufortable, like evil energy, for some reason.. Other than that, I couldnt sense anything. The diagnostic result seemed to indicate that it would be okay as long as the lingering influence of Blood Demon Hole was removed. Since Blood Demon Hole didnt refine external mana like ordinary Breathing technique, it didnt qualify as a formal Breathing technique. Thats a relief. I immediately started exining about Blood Demon Hole. I told her its one of the abilities I received from the three administrators on the 12th floor.. When activated, it allows for the conversion of some mana into inner strength. Hearing my exnation, White Crane Sword Saint regained her vitality and chuckled lightly, a glint returning to her eyes. Thats not a Breathing technique, its an ability. Its true that its derived from Breathing techniques youve learned in your lifetime, but you cant consider it as a Breathing technique. I see. I checked it rather rudely because I was so surprised. Im sorry, my emotions got carried away for a moment because you said you had learned a separate Breathing technique Its fine. It was understandable. If the martial arts one can use depend on Breathing techniques, she must have been quite surprised. Its the same as epting me as her disciple, but the techniques she can pass on, being limited due to my former abilities. As I understood this, White Crane Sword Saint quietly murmured, But I dont really like it .? To think that the mixed-blood subject of a Bloodline Religion would support such a humble Breathing technique as an ability Well, of course, its not that Sung Yeun is a bad person. Its impolite of the creator to give such a thing without understanding the subject. With this evaluation of White Crane Sword Saints character, I slightly amended my initial thoughts. She might be an individual of character, but shes truly from the martial world.. Despite being the same administrator, she instantly revealed hostility toward the Bloodline Religions thing, so its highly likely she has a merciless attitude towards enemies. Of course, that might not be an issue. So, this isnt truly a Breathing technique, so it shouldnt be a problem? Well, thats true, but having something like this might mean its better not to learn Breathing techniques. ? Your can umte mana even without learning Breathing techniques, and if you learn Breathing techniques as an ability, you can use various techniques interchangeably. Thats true, but is it really okay? Well, when ites to martial arts, my martial arts arent heavily influenced by Breathing techniques, so its fine. However, what you just mentioned about Breathing techniques is an important part of the priests conversation I see. It seemed that if you could use various techniques ording to the situation just by converting mana, then it would indeed be better. Moreover, White Crane Sword Saints martial arts were unaffected by the nature of inner strength, so it should be okay. With this understanding, White Crane Sword Saint seemed ufortable with the atmosphere, perhaps because of the topic she raised. .Hmm! Well, lets start with sword techniques. Watch me first and try to imitate. As I thought about finally getting into the main subject, my mind quickly focused. Understood. I adjusted my stance and watched White Crane Sword Saint demonstrate her sword technique. The skill Battle Focus is activated. The users concentration is enhanced 4. While I concentrated on using the skill Battle Focus I suddenly saw the sword in White Crane Sword Saints hand move rapidly. It was so elerated that even in this world, if I had just been watching, I probably wouldnt have been able to observe it. Moreover, this was being shown to me, so I might have even missed the dyed speed. I was in awe of White Crane Sword Saints skills while secretly drooling. But awe was awe, and I quickly refocused my mind. It seemed that in this elerated world, I was observing her sword technique as if engraving it into my mind. And then, ..Now, the first form of my sword technique of the White Sword Seven Styles, White Sword Ind Sun . White Sword Ind Style. The name of the form implied a swift and powerful sword strike that cut through the sea like light. You might not have seen it properlyIm sorry. This is the minimum required speed for White Sword Ind Sun White Sword Ind Sun seemed apologetic, but contrary to her concerns, I had seen the sword quite clearly. Thats fine. I think I can follow along if its at this level. Continuing, I slightly distanced myself from White Sword Ind Sun and recalled her sword technique in my mind. White Sword Ind Sun carried the momentum of shing through everything in its path, as if it intended to dominate space itself.. Its like its pulling everything in, preventing escape Perhaps it felt like it was also affecting gravity. I pondered briefly, then raised the sword in my hand, mimicking the motion White Crane Sword Saint had shown me. Is this how its done? Following my instincts, I recreated White Crane Sword Saints sword technique as closely as possible. Although it wasnt actually imbued with intent, when intent was applied, a certain level of nature was manifested in the sword. With the eleration provided by Battle Focus in this world, I managed to perfectly reproduce White Sword Ind Sun. The skill Battle Focus is deactivated. With the deactivation of Battle Focus, I turned to face White Crane Sword Saint. Is this the correct way? This was a question about whether the form I had just disyed was close to the correct answer. And the answer to that question seemed to be astonishment, as White Crane Sword Saint looked at me as if she couldnt believe it. Its unbelievable You got it right. [To be continued.] Chapter 122: Chapter 122:
White Sword Ind Sun(ׄW). Meaning a white sword swiftly cutting through the sea like light, was not difficult to implement. While it certainly required a high level of basic skills, there was nothing more to it. It felt like a technique that swiftly shed the target as if pulling space for a moment. Of course, I inwardly thought that what I felt might not be the correct answer, but judging by White Crane Sword Saints reaction, it seemed different. At least to the extent that I could follow along, White Crane Sword Saints face turned pale. I slowly lowered my sword and voiced the curiosity that had arisen in my mind. You follow the technique quite well, so why do you seem displeased? Sungyeun, you might not fully understand how remarkable this is. ..? I must admit its a bit awkward, but the White Sword Seven Styles(ׄʽ) contains more advanced mysteries than the Blue Sky Sword Style (n섦). . It goes beyond the basic mysteries of fast and slow like the Blue Sky Sword Style, epassing aposite mystery that directly affects space itself. I see. But Sungyeun, you effortlessly followed White Sword Ind Sun seeing it just once, and youre at a level simr to the originator. I nodded in response, but in truth, I didnt fullyprehend it. It was understandable, though, as fast and slow in the mysteries didnt resonate with me. I had practically started learning martial arts on the 12th floor, so it wasnt surprising that terms like fast sword and slow sword from murim novels sounded unfamiliar. Of course, I could deduce their meanings through various experiences. So, is it because I have a broader range of martial arts I can follow than I thought? Its a bit different but simr. Sungyeuns a genius among geniuses. White Crane Sword Saints evaluation of my talent, after some contemtion, was as follows. Sungyeun is a genius of intuition. Emphasizing having exceptional intuitive abilities. Recognizing the essence of a technique without relying on experience or judgment but seeing it in the moment is not amon talent. It was safe to say that one was not an ordinary genius. Doesnt something change if its not an ordinary talent? And. It does. And many things change. White Crane Sword Saints eyes began to shine even brighter than before, as if he had discovered a pearl inside a seashell picked up from the beach. You dont need much time for it. Just one day is enough. And.. During this day, Sungyeun will learn most of the martial arts. The real learning process had begun. ?- -? One day. In a rtively short time, I could learn quite a lot. I learned not only White Crane Sword Saints martial arts, the White Sword Seven Styles, but also various other techniques. Body techniques (), Fist techniques (ȭƷ), and even Movement techniques like Grappling.. I learned everything I could get my hands on. No, can I even call this learning..? In the exnation of the basic theory, White Crane Sword Saint mentioned something called Ways that was important in martial arts. However, I wasnt learning martial arts through the Ways. I was just mimicking it. White Crane Sword Saint showed me a martial art once, and I had to reproduce it, of course, while learning how to manipte mana for that specific technique Apart from mana maniption, shes not telling me anything. It felt like she considered exnations a waste of time. Seongyun doesnt need exnations of Ways. Just watch and mimic, thats enough. When I asked her directly, she confirmed that she thought this way. Well, the person teaching it finds it efficient, so I have noints. I had no intention of staying in this ce for long, so I kept my mouth shut and learned martial arts. Through the teachings of just one day, the most useful martial art I learned was the White Sword Seven Styles, which involved sword techniques. Currently, I can only perform the first three out of seven forms.. but as the top martial artist in the previous generation, White Crane Sword Saints swordsmanship was exceptional. White Sword Ind Sun(ׄW) was a technique that, by piercing through space itself, rendered evasion impossible. White Sword Pierce (ׄ؞) specialized in prating defenses with powerful thrusts. White Sword Fold(ׄߡ) was a defensive technique that distorted the space around the sword. Even though I had only learned three of the styles, I felt a significant improvement in my overall strength. This was because all of the styles in the White Sword Seven Styles possessed effectsparable to skills and abilities. The first form, White Sword Ind Sun, directly punctured space, while the others, including White Sword Peirce and White Sword Fold, went beyond pure swordsmanship into manipting the swords attributes. To truly prate defenses or manipte space, imbuing attributes into the sword was essential. However, it was intriguing to learn that even without attribute imbuing, the inherent power of the forms could be harnessed to a certain extent. By using mana maniption specific to certain techniques, effectsparable to prating defenses or bending space could be achieved, making it a valuable lesson. Nevertheless, the time for learning flowed like an arrow and soon came to an end. I believe Ive taught you everything I can for now, said White CranevSword Saint, and I nodded in agreement. In just one day, I had learned everything I needed to know, not an exaggeration. I had receivedprehensive training, from theory to practical skills. Even my knowledge of martial arts had expanded considerably, thanks to White Crane Sword Saint. Thanks to you, Ive learned a lot. I said it openly, and I had no regrets about calling her my master. M-Master Hehe, its nice to hear that. Im d you think of me that way. White Crane Sword Saints expression softened as she heard me address her as master. After a brief moment ofughter, she looked at me and spoke again. Well then, Ill be leaving now. There was no need for me to stay here any longer since I had learned everything. Oh Already? You could stay a bit longer Its alright. Ive learned everything I needed to. However, there was a tinge of regret on Baekhakgeomseons face. Ille backter. However, I had no intention of not returning. Master, please take care in the meantime. Mentioning that she was her master, which White Crane Sword Saint liked, seemed to please her. Haha, yes. You take care too, Sungyeun. With your talent, if you put in the effort, your skills will improve rapidly. Just a moment ago, White Crane Sword Saint had been showing a bit of regret, but now she was smiling, albeit slightly. I found it easy to like a master who was easy to get along with. ?- -? You have entered the 14th-floor waiting room. As I returned to the waiting room after just one day, I drew my sword and focused my mind. I was doing this to activate the new ability I had acquired. . White Crane Sword Saint had exined that the Sword Masters Path ability allowed the development of skills. If you had enough proficiency in a technique, you could transform it into an officially recognized skill. Until now, I had relied on the knowledge of a skill called Demon yer for my swordsmanship. but now, after learning theplete martial art from White Crane Sword Saint, Demon yer was just an extra skill. Of course, the skills effects were quite outstanding, so I had no intention of discarding it as a useless skill. However, Its not very efficient. Thats how I felt about Demon yer, except for the increase in cutting power. Even just the two forms I learned from the Blue Sky Sword Style that I borrowed from NamGung hyuk were more valuable than Demon yer. The White Sword Seven Styles I had just learned from White Crane Sword Saint, on the other hand, was iparable to Demon yer. So now, I intend to develop my own skills. I wouldbine everything I had seen and learned up to this point. Iron-Blooded Sword activated. Skill Combat Focus activated. In no time, a sword appeared in my left hand as well, and time seemed to slow down. Holding a pair of swords, I unleashed the styles I had learned in a perfect martial art, which had improved since myst attempt. However, despite all this, no skill was created. White Crane Sword Saint said that a skill development system needs to be recognized as such. I concluded that these two sword techniques hadnt been officially recognized, which was why no skill had been created. Then I just need to refine them into a system that can be recognized. I decided topletely remove the distinctive features of the Blue Sky Sword Style from my swordsmanship. Even though I didnt know all the forms like the White Sword Seven Styles, amodating my swordsmanship to the Blue Sky Sword Styles features would be inefficient. So. I need to base it on the sword techniques I know. I decided that the two forms from the Blue Sky Sword Style could be regarded as supplementary forms. However, even though I removed the distinctive features, I kept the improved dual-sword techniques I had learned from White Crane Sword Saint. The possibility of a versatile attack demonstrated by my replica on the 12th floor was quite useful. I couldnt abandon the concept that attacking with dual swords is the best defense in itself. Unconsciously, the twin swords in my hands began to take on the characteristics of White Sword Seven Styles, and it now appeared to be in good shape. However, I still felt that it wascking. Continuing, I slowly began to adapt the Flying Sword of Blue Sky , Blue Sky Sword Style to White Sword Seven Styles. With a few more shes and thoughts brushing through my mind, I made the three forms of White Sword Seven Styles interchangeable with the two styles of the Blue Sky Sword Styles. Now, it was a perfected state with no visible ws. The Authority Sword MastersPath is strongly activated. Finally, I released my focus onbat and opened the description of the newly acquired skill. Skill C Sword Masters Path (A-) Proficiency C 0% Description C A martial art formed bybining White Sword Seven Styles and Blue sky Sword Style. Basic Effect C When using ded weapons, it provides adjustments to both White Sword Seven Styles and Blue Sky Sword Styles techniques, elevating the level of technique implementation. Detailed Effect C When using dual sword techniques, the attack speed and effectiveness of certain techniques White Sword Seven Styles double. Was this how skills are developed like this? Looking at the newly created Sword Masters Path skill window, I felt a slight sense of inadequacy. While it was good that the Tower had acknowledged my martial art as a skill and provided various adjustments, I couldnt help but feel that it fell short of being an A-graded skill. Its a bit disappointing, but theres nothing I can do. I cant remove the skill, and I cant evolve it either. However, in that moment of resignation, a good idea came to me. Wait, maybe I can actually raise the skills level? There was a unique Authority that allowed the direct improvement of skill levels There was skill synthesis. The ability tobine skills to create better ones existed. But using it tobine Demon yers skills would be a waste. So, I briefly hesitated and then took out an elegant book from my inventory. Random Skill Book Grade: A+ Using this will grant one random B+ grade skill. Only challengers can use this item, and it cannot be transferred to others. It was the Random Skill Book (A+), which I had received as a reward from the 13th-floor trial. Of course, I hadnt even considered using it since I had gone to see White Crane Sword Saint, but. Using the Random Skill Book (A+) to obtain a random B+ grade skill. While I was at it, I decided to use it right away. The Authority Heros Protection is strongly activated. Luck is temporarily increased dramatically. And then.. The skill Blood Spirit Demon Sword (B+) has been created. I unexpectedly acquired a fairly good skill thanks to the increased luck from the Heros Protection Authority. Skill C Blood Spirit Demon Sword (B+) Proficiency C 0% Description C A unique sword technique that only sessors of the Blood Demon Sect can learn. Basic Effect C When using ded weapons, it imbues the de with the attribute of demon, providing harmful effects to living beings. Detailed Effect C Using the skills techniques triggers a unique effect, Twin Strike, which doubles the effectiveness of the technique. It seemed to encourage synergy with the Blood Demon Hole Technique, but The unique Authority Skill Synthesis has been activated. Since I was quite pleased with the skills effects, I immediately activated Skill Synthesis. Please check your skill list. Select the skills you want to use as fusion materials from your current skills. I selected Sword Masters Path(A-) and Blood Demon Spirit Sword (B+), and then.. The levels of the fusion materials do not match. The skill Sword Masters Path will be the center of the fusion. Sword Masters Path was designated as the central skill for fusion, and the probability of skill synthesis came to mind. Skill synthesis will proceed with Sword Masters Path as the center. The current probability of obtaining a higher-grade skill is 88%. Do you want to proceed with the synthesis? 88%. Considering the skill synthesis probabilities I had encountered so far, it was a quite high chance. Thanks to the increased luck from the Heros Protection Authority, I felt that I could take a gamble. This should be a reasonable opportunity for a gamble, right? Of course, the chances of failure were not that high. The probability of obtaining a higher-grade skill was also high The Authority Heros Protection is strongly activated. Luck is temporarily increased dramatically. Thanks to the Heros Protection Authority, which increased my luck Skill synthesis has beenpleted. A new skill has been created. Checking the newly created skill, I couldnt help but smile deeply. The skill Mixed Demon Sword (S-) has been created. It was a gamble that had paid off. [To be continued.] Chapter 123: Chapter 123:
The skill Mixed Demon Sword (S-) has been created. I couldnt help but be amazed as I looked at the newly created sword skill. After all, I never expected it to be an S-grade skill. Honestly, even with good luck, I thought the synthesis result would stop at A+ grade. The promotion to an S-grade was beyond my imagination. But what was even more surprising was the effect of the newly created skill. Skill C Mixed Demon Sword (S-) Proficiency: 0% Description: A fusion of various martial arts and magic swordsmanship. When using a ded weapon, it imbues the de with the extreme magic attribute, causing continuous damage to any living being until death. Detailed Effect: Increases the damage output of all sword techniques threefold and allows for the activation of the exclusive skill Double Strike at will. It was the result ofbining the White Sword Seven Styles and Blue Sky Sword Style with the Blood Demon Sword. The Blood Demon Sword, somewhat like the Demon Hole set, merely added a magical attribute and harmful effects to life. But now, the newly reborn Mixed Demon Sword had an additional basic effect, dealing continuous damage to any living being until death. This effect is insane. In simple terms, it meant that enemies wouldnt stop taking damage until they met their demise, making it deadly for anyone unprepared. But the crazier part was that this relentless dot damage didnt end there Detailed Effect: Increases the damage output of all sword techniques threefold and allows for the activation of the exclusive skill Double Strike at will. While the previous Blood Demon Swords skill only applied to White Sword Seven Styles and Blue Sky Sword Style, the newly born Mixed Demon Swords skill tripled the damage output for all sword techniques. Moreover, it seemed to inherit the Bloodline Magic Swords exclusive effect, the Double Strike. Double Strike I immediately tested it by swinging the sword in my right hand forward. The exclusive effect Double Strike of the skill Mixed Demon Sword is activated. I felt a switch-like sensation, and the Double Strike of the Mixed Demon Sword was activated. And Swish! The waves of the sword, as if mirroring each other, surged forward with the exact same power. I finally understood the exclusive effect called Double Strike as I watched this scene with wide eyes. The Mixed Demon Swords Double Strike allowed the user to replicate a tangible sword strike exactly like the original. It was incredible, not an illusion. It meant that without using any resources like divine power or mana, I could duplicate the same attack to the left and right. Could it really do this? Astonished by this seemingly overpowered effect, I couldnt help but smile with anticipation. I adjusted my stance and, as if cutting through the air, released a de imbued with mana using the Blood Demon Sword. White Sword Ind Sun The unstoppable essence was unleashed like a whirlwind, and another activation message appeared. The exclusive effect Double Strike of the skill Mixed Demon Sword is activated. Whoosh! Three times. Could it really replicate the exact same output for the technique? I chuckled in disbelief at this fact. Even the recent technique had a significant output, without undergoing any separate enhancements. It seemed like the threefold damage increase from the Mixed Demon Swords effect was being applied. Could it even replicate the Radiant Sword, my ultimate sword technique? If the Double Strike effect duplicated the nature of the skill itself, then things would truly change. I pondered for a moment and decided to conduct one more experiment to find out. It was an experiment to see if Double Strike could replicate a skill effect. The skill Truth Seeker of Blood is activated. of the True Bloodline Magic Sword. The experiment aimed to determine if Double Strike could truly replicate the skill effect. I coated the blood drawn from my fingertip with the True Blood Demon Sword, then assumed a new technique stance. White Sword Ind Sun was released once again, exhibiting the techniques essence like a raging sea. Then, another activation message appeared like a passing thought. The exclusive effect Double Strike of the skill Mixed Demon Sword is activated. Swish! It was as if three sword strikes, identical to the original, were released and collided with the walls of the waiting room, vanishing. I smiled with a sense of emptiness, contemting the results of the experiment. I chuckled in disbelief at this fact. This is just a skill that breaks the bnce Double Strike was a crazy exclusive effect that replicated even skill effects. Exploration of the Mixed Demon Swords skill continued for several hours. During this process, I realized just how insane the skill itself was. The skill embedded in the sword was a skill that replicated its effects regardless of its type. It didnt just replicate the effects but also the quantity, without discrimination Its a truly insane skill. In other words, it replicated all the effects attached to the sword. Now, it was hard to consider it a skill within the realm of swordsmanship. When its possible to replicate skill effects, its hard to call it pure swordsmanship. Of course, I didnt obsess over calling it pure swordsmanship or anything like that. I had a principle of using everything at my disposal. Even if it didnt look like traditional swordsmanship, as long as it worked, it was fine. Now, what was truly important was how to utilize the Mixed Demon Swords skill. Regarding this aspect, I discovered some facts during the hours of experimenting. One of them was that the Double Strike of the Mixed Demon Sword could set the point and direction of attack replication No, its more like designating rather than setting? It felt more like designating which direction to replicate the attack rather than sticking to a default setting. Anyway, by utilizing this point effectively, I could unleash attacks with the same power in multiple directions. Whether I cover multiple directions or concentrate my attacks, it seems like it can be used in various ways Of course, that was just a momentary thought. I quickly stopped exploring the Mixed Demon Sword. That was because.. Surprisingly, its not that difficult to be proficient. This skill simply made it easier to use the swordsmanship mix of White Sword Seven Styles and Blue Sky Sword Style. The other additional effects didnt seem to require proficiency either. So, I didnt feel the need to explore the skill further. Rather, I thought of this as something to discover while using it in realbat. Now, it was time to prepare. You have purchased the Iplete Elixir (A+). 97,700 points will be deducted. You have purchased the Body Enhancement Potion (A+). 99,600 points will be deducted. It had been a long time since I purchased potion-type items, but for me, preparing this thoroughly was the only way to alleviate my anxiety about the uing trial. That was because.. Namgung Hyuk will surelye for the next trial. With the addition of items that eased the penalty for invading new floors, the possibility had arisen. The worst-case scenario was Namgung Hyuk investing significant points to intrude into my trial. Of course, I didntpletely doubt the growth of my skills, abilities, and attributes. However, I dont have multiple lives, so theres no choice. The Ashen Blood skill boasted near-immortal regenerative abilities, allowing the body to recover even in life-threatening situations. The Necromancy shield could block any damage as long as themand was sufficient. But even with such abilities, I was just a mere human, and the level of enemies I expected to encounter wasnt to be underestimated. Even when pushed to the brink of defeat, the monster that retired all challengers, including me, in the end.. If that creature wasnt constrained by the Towers restrictions, its power would undoubtedly shine in this one-on-one battle. Therefore, my chances of surviving werent high, and thats why I poured the points earned from breaking through two trials into purchasing potions. Iplete Elixir (A+) Grade: A+ An elixir left iplete by the descendant of a legendary alchemist. When consumed in its unfinished form, it can cure all conditions and revive the user regardless of their state. However, unlike apleted elixir, it cannot resurrect the dead, and there may be some side effects when curing severe conditions. Body Enhancement Potion (A+) Grade: A+ A masterpiece among enhancement-type potions that dramatically increases all attributes when consumed. When all the potion is consumed, all attributes increase by +10 for 41 minutes and 17 seconds. However, the effects of this attribute increase do not ovep with other physical enhancement potions. Iplete Elixir was obtained in anticipation of Namgung Hyuk using his Healing Impervious skill on my Ashen Bloods regeneration. I purchased the Body Enhancement Potion due to its striking effect of raising all attributes by +10. Of course, both had some limitations, but To be honest, theres not much toin about. Despite spending a considerable amount of umted points, I didnt regret it. I had reached a point where I didnt feel that the points were too valuable. Could there even be such a thing as being too valuable? While there was some waste of time involved, it was wise to consume the potions in advance, as there might not be an opportunity once the battle began. Will you ept the 14th-floor trial? Without hesitation, I immediately activated the trialmand and, as usual, stepped through the portal that appeared in the center of the waiting room. Entering the 14th floor of the Tower. Difficulty C Hard The theme of this trial is Underwater Battle.'' We hope that the challengers chosen path leads to satisfying results. You, how long do you think Ive been waiting for this? I burst intoughter as I looked at theke beyond the portal, stained red with blood. Starting the 14th-floor trial. Remaining Time C 7 days Trial Breakthrough Conditions C Hunt all monsters in theke within the remaining time. Trial Failure Conditions C Challengers death or expiration of remaining time. Trial Breakthrough Reward C Wind Spirits Boots (A+) Trial Failure Penalty C Death Originally, I was supposed to hunt underwater fishmen, but considering the massacre that had taken ce.. As a user, I have encountered a formidable opponent that is difficult to handle. Skill Indomitable Will is activated. A young man, seemingly unconcerned, stood in the middle of theke, casually stepping on the water. How long do you think I waited to meet you in this tedious ce? Perhaps because he was the opponent I couldnt kill but had to settle for a draw in Tokyo on that day. The blood coursing through his entire body was as hot as water in a boiling kettle, and his body was heated up. Even after killing all these monsters, you didnt show up, so I thought I came to the wrong ce. I muttered briefly while looking at the guy who spoke with a smile in his eyes. You crazy bastard. Blue Sky Sword Dragon, Namgung Hyuk. Just as I expected, this lunatic came right for me. [To be continued.] Chapter 124: Chapter 124:
Fishmen (~). On earth, it is one of the mostmon water typed monsters that appeared in C ranked gates. With a fish like head and sharp scales covering the entire body, it could be considered as one of the second best beings (). The monster could disy the powers of B ranks if near the water. And if fighting within the water, it was a monster that even A ranked hunters would struggle to defeat. The 14th floor was a taxing challenge requiring to defeat every single Fishmen. But Theyre all dead. I stared at the crimsonke filled with the stench of blood and realized that all the Fishmen were already dead. And this challenge was an underwater battle, enough to call the monsters an A ranked monster. But Nam GungHyuk was smiling happily while looking at me with not even a single drop of water on him. As if this much is not even a challenge. . At that, I stood still watching him, and finally concluded. Activating the skill Instant eleration. Activating the skill Battle Concentration. Activating the skill Winds Blessing. All speeds increased by 70%. Number of stacks C 7/7 There was no way to let my guard down around this monster. Boots of Swiftness(C+) Increased instant eleration. I used the speed coursing through my body to go around theke and activated a skill. Activating the skill Truth-Seeker of Blood. It was the skill that was actively used on the floor before this. Although its a skill thats unusable without blood, where Id have to use my own topensate.. But with the mass ughter of the Fishmen and their spilt blood, there was no need to use my blood at all. This entire region is covered with Fishmens blood after all. It was fortunate amidst the unfortunate. Fwoosh! The blood that painted theke crimson moved ording to the gesture of the hand with the Truth-Seeker of Blood skill. The ws of blood akin to a birdcage closed in towards Nam GungHyuk and swallowed up the center of theke. Crash! Although it was not asrge as the Vampire Counts skill Blood Tsunami, it was quite close to it. And I thought that it would be useful in turning the tide of the battle in my favor against Nam GungHyuk. But.. Youre as impertinent as ever. As if crushing the expectations mercilessly, a serene voice came out of the exploding blood cage. Boom! A momentary surprise from the deafening explosion sound. With the blood shooting up, Nam GungHyuk stood with a de in hand smiling eerily. And the blue Sword me emitting from his sword. Damn.! I activated every skill I was not using as quickly as possible. Activating skill Blood of Demon Hole. Activating the power Iron-blooded Sword. Activating the power ming Sword. A crimson steam released from the entire body with my sight turning red, and a me surrounded the swords held in both hands. But that was not the end. Activating skill Lighting Sword Ki. Crackle! To the de already enforced with lightning from Blood of Demon Hole, the skill Lightning Sword Ki was further added. Activating skill Triple Laceration. Your next three attacks are strengthened. With even the unused Triple Laceration, the crimson energy surrounding the de further glowed. Furthermore Activating the Imprint Skill : Blood Fortify (C+) of Real Heavenly blood Demonic sword. The Blood Fortify energy surrounding me shed brightly reinforcing the de. This is my best. Logically speaking, everything that could be done within my abilities was done. Nam GungHyuks was taken aback from seeing my sword. ming sword.? How could a rascal like you.? As a martial artist, he seemed to be more surprised that I was using ming sword rather than thebination of the powers. Then this should surprise him even more. Its been a while since I made ming Sword my own ever since clearing the 11th floor. Now this should surprise him. The reason why Nam GungHyuk has been looking down on me, calling me a fake, has been because I have not learned martial arts yet With no proper techniques, relying solely on skills and powers was not a good sight in his perspective. But now, he should not be able to look down on me anymore. As it is Activating skill Harmonic Soul Demon Sword Activating Exclusive Skill of Harmonic Soul Demon Sword, Double Attack. I was about to start using the oh so highly spoken martial arts. In the form of copying his martial arts that he demonstrated in Tokyo before. Rolling Sword of Blue sky. The two des started to rotate violently and let out a cry. aaang-! A cry enough to paralyze the entire area. ?- -? To say the results, it was a failure to use everyst power that I could. It couldnt be helped. Since the Light Saber that was supposed to manifest as the shield of counterattack activated degraded. Although many skills were activated to upgrade the power output, thecking power of the single hit couldnt be helped. To be exact, it is three total hits.. But that doesnt make too much of a difference. And its not like Nam GungHyuk could be defeated from a single strong attack. But Whats good is that I still managed to shock him. Nam GungHyuk, standing on top of the water, was frowning You dare! You dare! Youve been mocking me all this time! YOU! A tone of voice outraged as if he was deceived. Youve been able to use martial arts all this time, and yet youve been facing me with those fake sword ki! It wasnt difficult to figure out that he has been misunderstanding me. Ah, so he couldnt figure out that I learned martial arts just now. Currently, he seems to have thought that Ive always been able to use martial arts, but havent been using it. I mean, Ive fought him with my life on the line at Shinjuku but he still thought that? It was quite an absurd misunderstanding, but I had no intention of clearing that up nor the time to do so. As Nam GungHyuk was sending a freezing murderous re towards me. You dare steal the sword arts of the Namgoong Family. Although his voice was not loud nor angrily shouting like before. Your sins are grave. I will cut each of your fingers to have you pay for your sins. You could still tell that this was the angriest Nam GungHyuk has been. But I had no intention to get anywhere near him. Without a doubt. Considering his attributes, fighting like this will only cause damage. Nam GungHyuks unique attribute Force Duel would force a one on one duel with the opponent. For the duration of 10 minutes, no one could exit the duel area nor escape. Thus if anyone were to attack indiscriminately, there was no way to avoid it. If I fight within the duel area, I will be at a disadvantage. I had no intention of fighting immediately. At the very least, I had to change the direction of the battle. The first assignment would be to create an environment where I would not lose when faced with his Forced Duel. So. What sin? I had to change up my style a bit. He needs to be so agitated that he cant think logically. His entire logic ought to be paralyzed in a sense. All I did was to take a sloppy swordsmanship, arent you overreacting? Based on the information from the previous conversation, I taunted him smirking. What value does the swordsmanship a 3 year old can learn have? And . Nam GungHyuks face frowned in wrath hearing that. You fucking bastard-! Crash-! I smiled seeing Nam GungHyuk charge at me after losing all elegance. This actually worked. The taunt worked. Activating the power Steel Wings. I immediately activated the steel wings to fly up in the air. Because the 14th stage was a forest surrounding theke, it was already advantageous to me. Since I could freely fly through the sky, it was even easier. I quickly worked my brain while increasing the distance between us. I have no time, I need to think of a way to defeat him. Even if I am running away, it would do no good to continue to stall for time. Since winning would be more difficult the less time fortifying potions duration was left. And it was hard to say how much longer Nam GungHyuk would stay without reason. But thankfully, the answer was quickly attained without thinking too much. Light Saber. A technique thatbines a shield skill to Nam GungHyuks Rolling Sword of Blue Sky. If it was to be used when he is at his most vulnerable state, he too should be backed into a corner. Then that meant that he needs to be in the state of insanity until I am ready to use the Light Saber.. But it was uncertain if he would stay angry until then. But this too, the solution was easily found. Because Isnt it because you continue to stick with that lousy martial arts that you cant even fly? It was pretty easy to poke at his ego. What would a waste product of lowly dimension know about martial arts! It wasughable Martial arts was merely another form of skill. Even if it was valuable enough to not be beneath skills or powers, it definitely did not have a value above them. As the strength of martial arts differs from the user, skills and powers worked the same way. But to deem them beneath martial arts because it activates from a system? What an idiotic thinking. Then would martial arts still have value if it is unable to store ki within the body through breathing techniques, and manifest in the world with internal energy and will? Skills are skills and powers are powers. Whats important is the user who uses them. But Nam GungHyuk was still not realizing it. And like a lunatic, he was giving will to the martial arts itself. Of course, because he was such an ignorant person that I could continue to taunt him so easily. Its a rule of thumb to continue to taunt when their sanity ising back. I stopped thinking to look towards Nam GungHyuks frowning expression. This in itself was a satisfactory achievement, but it feltcking somehow. And thats why. sh! I imitated his swordsmanship and let out the blue sword ki. What! Of course, he managed to block the attack by shing it in half.. What was important was that I imitated his swordsmanship and the sword ki. It meant that Ipletely duplicated his Blue Sky Sword Style. Then I wore a bitter smile on top of a sardonic expression. As sloppy as it is, it was quite useful swordsmanship. Well, it was pretty fun to use. And It was beneath me though. Using the most disrespectful tone I could. [To be continued.] Chapter 125: Chapter 125:
! A roar that could not be formed rang throughout the area, repeatedly flickering. I shivered from the murderous intent throughout the roar, and looked towards the source of that sound. And.. To think that its possible to imbue mana into a voice. Nam GungHyuk could be spotted, seemingly giving up on hiding his killing aura. Emitting a simr energy from earlier, he was charging as if attempting to catch up to me. With enough force to damage the trees of the forest surrounding theke. Craaaaash-! With each step, the trees shattered and the surface of the earth crumbled. It was an absurd sight. Crazy lunatic. I quickly increased the distance from the screaming Nam GungHyuk and felt a cold sweat. It was inconceivable that the taunts from earlier would work so well. It was befitting to call him a lunatic, roaring like a lion. The bloodshot eyes with no sanity, and the pupils tainted with wrath. This is more than what I wanted this should be plenty. It was a sess to anger him as nned, so it was time to move onto the next step. Deactivating the power Iron-blooded Sword. Activating skill Counter Shield. The Iron blooded sword on the left hand disappeared and was reced by a crimson sword akin to a club. Crash! A sh came from below and I immediately blocked it using counter Shield. Seeing how numb the arm went, it was a heavy sh. It seems like taunting is not needed anymore. It became certain that Nam GungHyuk was no longer thinking about the consumption rate of his powers. He seemed to be attempting to drop me from the sky using his sh Rampage, but he did not think things through. sh Rampage used a lot of mana, and it couldnt cause a big damage to opponents of simr caliber. It could not be considered to be more than a distracting technique. Even he ought to have realized it despite losing his sanity. Then the reason why he must be ignoring his limits of power must be because he was certain that he had a way to catch up to me. Theres no way that he can act like this without it. Perhaps he was confident in his endurance. After all, Nam GungHyuk was a martial artist from a different dimension that trained from a young age. And it was natural to have strength in his stamina or mana ording to his training. But whatever it was, it did not change the fact that he made a wrong decision. Because.. The skill Counter Shield is umting the damage received. The Counter Shield was slowly umting every damage that Ive been receiving as we speak. I smiled seeing the slowly umting power in the shield. You n on dragging me back to the ground with this? Nam GungHyuk was thinking arrogantly. That he could make me leave the air by tiring me out. Despite being unable to discern if I was actually flying or not. He charged at me thinking as if I would never be able to defeat him withoutbining forces with others like back in Tokyo. He truly did not mature at all. That day, when I could not kill Nam GungHyuk and released him in Tokyo. I never stopped climbing up the tower and continued to get stronger. Despite climbing only a few floors, I still matured as a martial artist and as a challenger. But Nam GungHyuk did not climb up the tower, yet still thought of me as something like a prey. So. This works in my favor. I needed to teach him now. I can get stronger more easily thanks to him. That the roles of prey and hunter have long been reversed. And that Nam GungHyuk is a mere stepping stone for my growth. ?- -? Nam GungHyuk is one of the martial artists in the end. He too learned martial arts, and is notcking in battle experiences, an opponent simr to me. Even if my tauntings worked a little too well, I could not act brashly. So it was necessary that I act cornered and slowly start revealing my cards. White Sword Fold. Just like this. Rumble.! The space around the de twisted from being imbued by a powerful will and mana. Just like its title of space folding white de, the White Sword Fold distorted the space. To exin, the natural order of the swordsmanship where a de meets de turned a little more violent? If redirecting the direction of the opponents sword is parrying. It was almost as if this parrying technique redirected the attack by folding the space itself. And it did that in reality. Crash! Nam GungHyuks attacknded in an innocent location and exploded after it was redirected from the twisted space. It was important to umte damage using the counter shield, but these types of techniques were also a necessity. It also made it seem as if I was being pushed back a little. its not good that the counter shield umtes to the max faster than my expectation. Nam GungHyuk had to be weakened through stalling time for a bit. I need toplete the Light Saber when hespletely defenseless. It would be troublesome if he had enough energy to block the Light Saber. You fucking bastard! Where did you steal that martial arts technique from?! Of course, Nam GungHyuk raged even more seeing the White Sword Fold. I sped up further without bothering replying to him. Acting as if I was desperate and didnt even have the energy to respond to him. If he was in his normal state, he wouldve never fallen for it. But. How long do you think you can keep flying? I will break those lowly wings myself! He was currently chasing me without reason, with the intent of killing me. And could not analyze that my every action was calcted. How imprudent. Of course that thought never got expressed outwardly. It could potentially destroy the hard earned upper hand of the battle. Instead, I used all the blood from theke as a counterattack to weaken him. The arrows created from blood never got through Nam GungHyuk and dissipated, but it still did its part. My goal was never an actual hit in the first ce. If it managed to deplete Nam GungHyuks mana even just a little bit, it did its part. And because of his anger, Nam GungHyuks attacks had too much force in it. The force of sword me was quite high, unfit for the current situation. However, Nam GungHyuk still managed to hold onto a bit of his sanity and attempted to corner me as best he could. Blue Sky Thunder Strike! Despite it not being an actual skill, he demonstrated a never seen before technique yelling out its name. Rumble! A blue energy surrounded Nam GungHyuks sword like the lightning traveling through the stormy clouds. And struck in a blink of an eye intending to pierce through me. Fwoosh! Among the piercing techniques that Ive seen so far, its speed was iparable. However, my ability to sense intent improved through training in martial arts, and I quickly realized that the attacking towards me was not just a normal piercing attack. That. I cant block it. It was the strike that I mustnt let the counter shield take. Shield pierce. That attack held the thought that could instantly destroy the counter shield. That did not mean that it couldnt be blocked at all. After all, I could just deploy a defense of simr nature. Whether thats a skill or martial arts, there were multiple ways to block that. Despite that technique being of a high level, I had enough skills to counter that. But to block it, the overall efficiency went down. So only one method remained, Lets parry it. Rumble! With the white sword fold, the space around the de twisted and folded. The sh attack got blocked in the twisted space and slowed down to have its path redirected. And. Crash! Nam GungHyuks techniques struck a different spot once again to disappear. Just what kind of martial arts can alter space?! Nam GungHyuk shouted bbergasted, but could not continue speaking. Because He said that it was called Blue Sky Thunder Strike. Its not efficient in mana usage. Pzzzt! The Blood Demon Sword held in the right hand was disying Blue Sky Thunder Strike as well. Even though it was a modified version unlike Nam GungHyuks that only made it seem like lightning was surrounding it, this one actually surrounded itself with crimson lightning. How?! How could this be?! You modified Blue Sky Thunder Strike.? It seemed as if that part was more shocking to him for some reason. Activating skill Storm Sword. Due to skill Storm Sword (C+), The de is imbued with wind element. Instead of replying to him, I lightly thrusted the Blood Demon Sword to shoot out Blue Sky Thunder Strike Oh. Although its mana efficiency was shitty, its speed itself was outstanding. And with the effects of Storm Sword mixed in, it became better than Nam GungHyuks techniques. This might be useful after all. Theres a simr technique that White Crane Sword Saint taught, so I dont think it will be used too often. But this skill had its own positives so it wasnt terrible. ng! Not once, but twice! Youve mocked me! Unfortunately, the modified Blue Sky Thunder Strike did not hurt Nam GungHyuk and disappeared after being sliced in half. But it did its part in depleting his mana. I will not acknowledge it! NamGungs sword is stronger than your fake one! Perhaps having his technique stolen right in front of him was shocking. Hepletely gave up on being sane and started to use every type of technique he had. So I had to move nimbly, but this situation was in my favor. Im going to remember all of this and use itter, Since this was a free lesson that I was getting. Hes really not holding back in sharing his techniques. I wonder if he knew. That all the swordsmanship that he praised so much. Were all mine at this point. ?- -? Crash! Charging Complete. The skill Counter Shield is in a state where you can reflect the umted damage. While receiving Nam GungHyuks attacks, the counter shield had umted enough force. There is no reason to stall time anymore. I sped up my flight speed and increased my distance from him. It mightve seemed as if I am making my final escape attempt in Nam GungHyuks point of view. But my real intent was getting ready for the final battle. Since I am able to use the Light Saber as well now, I was nning on making him unable to defend himself as well. Inventory. As soon as I reached theke, I took out the Gray Crown. Ancients Emperors Gray Crown Rank : A- Charisma +30% The ashen crown that the ancient emperor used during the ancestral rites for the god of darkness. When equipped, the mind bes unstable and the durability of the item will decrease each minute. But instead, you can use the installed inside the crown. As long as the item is not destroyed, the durability of the item will increase when not in use. An item acquired as a reward from clearing the 12th floor and has never been used until now. There was no desire to use the item, but the situation was different now. I have to use everything that I can. I immediately wore the crown, and a gray energy started to surround me. Your mind is slowly eroding from equipping the Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-). The instruction for using spirit magic was engraved in my mind like lightning. Almost as if learning how to move a part of your limb despite never learning how to? Somehow I could use the and understand the limits of within a blink of an eye. And the items penalty description of eroding the mind dide to mind but Activating the power Calm. Deactivating the eroding mind of Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-). With the power of Calm I was undefeatable in terms of mind intruding attacks. And it was the moment Inded on the ground in order to activate . You mustve lost all your energy to escape like a rat. Nam GungHyuk spoke with ming eyes while nearing. You dont seem to change at all. I smiled coldly and spoke in a taunting manner. If you can use your brain even a little, cant you understand the situation that youre in? As if he truly were pathetic. The cornered one is not me, but you. I activated the ashen energy coursing through my body. Nam GungHyuk. And. Activating , the exclusive effect of Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-). Kieeeeeeek! The corpses of fishmen let out their cries while reviving under the guidance of . Nam GungHyuk flinched at that sight and shouted. Are you using dark magic again? You wont be able to! Defeat you? What a shame it would be if you really think that way. But I knew. You dont even have enough mana to block this dark magic. With the earlier chase, he had no more energy to oppose me. . And as if he knew that fact, he shut his mouth. And I muttered quietly watching him. Crush him. It was a simplemand manifested through . But it was plenty. Kieeeeeeek! For the army of the dead befitting the end of time. Forming into a singr form akin to a beast and cornering Nam GungHyuk. [To be continued.] Chapter 126: Chapter 126:
Crush him. The moment themand of was uttered. Kieeeeeeh! The fishmen that were scattered about started to scream and came together as one. There were few with their bodies scattered about from the attacks of Nam GungHyuk. But every single one of them crawled through the ground and went towards him. Youve even mastered the Cults Necromancy?! At that sight, Nam GungHyuk attempted to destroy the gathering of the fishmen, but it was impossible. The activated through the Ancients Emperors Gray Crown made it possible to control every dead being. As long as its existence itself was not gone, the dead would never stop its movements. of B+ ranks are that powerful But that did not mean that I could justze around. The durability of Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-) is decreasing by 0.01%. The durability of Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-) is decreasing by.. The durability of Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-) is decreasing by.. With each passing moment, the crown kept cracking as its durability went down. At this rate, the crown wouldpletely break so the n had tomence quickly. Lets end this quickly. I gathered up my thoughts even more seeing Nam GungHyuk swing around his de like a lunatic. The exclusive effect of Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-), is activating strongly. Every dead beings movement will increase by 300%, and unless the entities arepletely destroyed, the spirit magic will not be deactivated. The strong activation of is affecting Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-). The items durability will be lowered 8 times faster and your mind will also be eroded faster. The fishmen that were gliding across the floor started to move inhumanely fast. Crack. I added on anothermand, feeling the crown on my head get arge crack. Hold him. With thatmand, the group of the dead started to hold onto Nam GungHyuk as well. Although it was just a single additionalmand, its effect did not increase. The corpses that were busy trying to crush him now turned to move in an attempt to hold him down. Nam GungHyuk eventually ended up showing a weak spot due to the quickly approaching corpses. Damn it! Let me go! Using such a vulgar method! His voice dissipated from being buried by the corpses. Now his form could not be seen, trapped inside the tower of the fishmen. The exclusive effect of Ancients Emperors Gray Crown (A-) is deactivating. At that, I took off the ashen crown and put it back on my inventory. After sheathing the Blood Demon Sword, I concentrated while holding the Counter Shield. I have to wrap it up with the strongest technique. With every condition met, this should be plenty to kill him. But, if this attempt does not work, the fight will be more difficult. In order to avoid that, everything will have to end using the most powerful attack. And there was only one technique that I knew, that was the strongest technique to kill. Rolling Sword of Blue sky. Among the techniques that I knew, this was the strongest area attack technique that managed to make a region of Tokyo into a wastnd. The rugged mana sword slowly spun about at the same time I turned. The skill Counter Shield releases the umted damage at once. And a blinding light exploded from the tip of the sword manifested like a tornado. The tornado of light that was already blinding enough. Activating Exclusive Skill of Harmonic Soul Demon Sword, Double Attack. Did not stop just with that. ?- -? The scenery after three rounds of tornado went through was beyond imagination. Every tree was burnt up and the overflowing water from theke waspletely dried up. Almost as if the concept of destruction visited and disappeared. Under normal circumstances, Nam GungHyuk wouldve never survived this. But.. Im gonna go insane. But he was still alive after getting directly hit with all these insane attacks. Of course, his state was in no way good. His clothes turned ragged, and blood was pouring out from his eyes, ears and mouth. But it was undoubtful. Seeing the shining light from his sword. That this was a battle that I lost. Just what on earth is that.? It was absurd seeing the star light looking lighting from his sword. With the experience gained from the tower, it could be easily understood. That the light was not from a skill nor a power, but from Nam GungHyuks pure caliber itself. And that of a level higher than Sword Ki and Sword me. Perhaps it mightve been the result of thebination of the three elements. But that was not it either after thinking about it. That was not an attack that could be blocked simply by adding another element to the sword. At that, I frowned but felt futility after finding out the answer. Now this is a foul y The answer determined from observing the mana resonating around Nam GungHyuk was this. Sword Ki was a technique that can modify thews around the sword to add an element, and Sword me was a level that could further add another element to it. That, was a state that went further than the aforementioned to manipte the surrounding mana like the Sword me technique. In a way, a kind of Extreme Devotion. If he manages to ascend further from that state, just from will alone, swinging his sword would be able to cut down anything.. And use the Minds de technique as well. I feel like I can understand why he worshiped martial arts so much. I could understand now why he was able to resist the three hits of the Rolling Sword of Blue Sky. It was not that he used a great skill or a special power. To think that he only used the Flying Sword of Blue Sky Nam Gung Hyuk merely used the basic defense techniques that he knew. But, that defense technique itself was reinforced like crazy to influence its surroundings. As I was silently looking at him, he spoke up. .Consider this an honor. This Sword Aura was not something that someone like you is worthy of seeing. Unlike before, his voice seemed quite tired. It was no wonder. The technique that Nam GungHyuk just demonstrated went beyond his current abilities. No matter how great he was, it was a technique that wouldve taken a toll on him. To exin, at this moment, Nam GungHyuk would be killed with a single proper attack. It was evident from his rough breathing and sensing the mana cirction to conclude that he did not have much energy. Taunting him to weaken him worked as a heaven sent opportunity. The technique that Nam GungHyuk used was most likely his final attempt in escaping the desperate situation. If he could be cornered just one more time, my victory would be certain. . However, the issue was that it would be more likely for me to be murdered before such an opportunity woulde. Precisely with that starry light emanating from his sword. And I could not even attempt to buy more time with mypletely depleted mana. Activating the power, Quick Mana Charge. Despite activating the power previously acquired, mana was not recharged much. Id need at least 10 minutes for a full charge. Despite recharging mana even with a risk of damaging the mana circuit, I still ended up like this. With the current rate of mana recovery, at most I could do a few attacks. But I red towards Nam GungHyuk with a determined look. As the saying goes, it is not over until the end. Despite the tide of the battle being against me, there were still opportunities to turn that tide. If it goes ording to my ns, its not so hopeless. Activating the power Iron-blooded Sword. Nam GungKyuk bitterlyughed after seeing the newly summoned sword. Resisting until the end. I will end that unsightly resistance now. And his sword of starlights moved in an arc. ng! Although the technique was a level higher than Sword me, it was unable to break my Sword me. Whether the issue lied with the technique itself or the user.. That was unknown. But this was clearly an opportunity. I have to recharge my nama and buy more time. One hit, two hit, three hit The battle of shing swords did notst long. Shatter! Deactivating the power Iron-blooded Sword. After ten rounds of shing swords, the summoned sword broke. Die! And Nam GungHyuks sword bent like a snake at the opportunity. sh! The moment his sword shed brightly and the sensation of cold metal shed by my neck. An unusual thing urred. Activating skill Last Stand. All the damage youve received will be nullified. For a period of time, all sensations will heighten and every skills will be adjusted. The skills cooldown willst for a week. The Last Stand skill. A skill acquired as bonus reward after clearing the 12nd floor. And thanks to that, I was safe and sound despite that hit that shouldve killed me. I never thought that it would actually nullify it in this way. Now I realized what the skills description of nullifying the critical injuries meant. As the description stated, it has literally nullified the critical injuries on me. As if the time was reversed. What?! Perhaps a skill like the Last Stand mustve been unexpected for him as well. He attempted to swing his sword in surprise. But this insane skill does not merely nullify critical injuries. The skill Chaotic Sword-fighting y will be adjusted to increase to the maximum attack speed. With the effect of the skill, the newly adjusted sword moved about four times faster than before. And with this opportunity, the sword glowed from receiving all recovered mana to shine brightly with crimson lightning. sh! The chilling sensation of cutting through flesh resonated throughout the entire body. Congrattions, You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 14. As a reward, you have received Wind Spirits Boots (A+). As a reward, you have received 10,000 points. As a reward, you have received 4,000 SP. Your bonus rewards will be increased due to achieving victory against a strong opponent. As a bonus reward, you have received 4,000 points.. As a bonus reward, you have received Sky Breaking Sword(A+). Please move to the waiting area. The messages signaling the end of the 14th floor appeared. [To be continued.] Chapter 127: Chapter 127:
Proficiency of skill Chaotic Sword-fighting y (B-) has reached 100%. Skill Chaotic Sword-fighting y (B-) has ranked up. Proficiency of skill Mana Circuit(C+) has reached 100%. Skill Mana Circuit(C+) has ranked up. The fight with Nam GungHyuk was not as explosive as thought. As it was. Since this battle had no resentment nor conviction. No, perhaps Nam GungHyuk did have a conviction. After all, he bbered something about skills being inferior to martial arts. With his fervent reverence to the mu*, he most likely attempted to prove the supremacy of the martial arts. (TLs notes: the mu() is the word used in murim, murim warriors, etc. so his reverence to the martial arts is what theyre talking about.) But I did not. All I did was to fight and achieve victory in order to grow and survive. There was no vulgar satisfaction from winning against a nemesis or breaking their conviction. Just a simple satisfaction of bing stronger after oveing a challenge. . If I had to add another meaning to it other than that. The requirements for creation of Myth is met. Power Divinity is greatly activated. That theres a victor among the duel with life on the line. Calcting ording to the results and the faith of the worshipper. Thats all it was. The results. Myth ispleted. Myth is umted in the Divine Powers. From now on, the challenger Han Sungyeuns divine powers will have the effects applied. When is activated, your body will be able to use all of its power no matter what state its in. From now on, the challenger Han Sungyeuns divine powers will have the effects applied. When is activated, the more disadvantageous you are at a battle, the bigger buff you will receive. Fwoosh! The Divine Powers that were making itself known inside the heart surrounded the entire body signaling another wave of growth. Was another myth produced..? While savoring the second growth of divinity, I looked over my condition. Other than minor injuries sustained from the battle with Nam GungHyuk, there were no issues outwardly. But, there the mana circuit within the body was badly damaged. Perhaps it was due to overusing the quick mana charge ability. It looks like the mana circuit overloaded from receiving too much external mana. The body was not in an optimal condition. Although the dismembered neck was repaired through the Last Stand, the injuries from before did not heal. Furthermore, there mustve been more injuries while the mana circuit overloaded, as there was no more sensation below the left shoulder. . And perhaps because there was no stamina, the skill Ashy Blood did not activate. As a result, I immediately opened up the inventory to take out the unfinished elixir. I originally saved it up to use it during mid battle. What use will it be if it goes bad? There was no reason to save it any longer since the battle was over. And it could always be repurchased at ater time. After drinking the purple liquid the effect immediately took ce. Unfinished Elixir (A+) is consumed to cancel all the abnormal status. The Mana Circuit damage and all other nerve damages arepletely recovered. The left arm that couldnt be felt moved again. And the mana circuit that had damaged parts recovered again. Administrator Blood Stream Military Official is curious about the skill or the standard that look like it reversed time. Administrator Priest who serves the Thunder God is freaked out over the amount of divine powers you possess. Administrator Hero of the ck Archipgo is worshipping you for attaining victory against the aura de. And after solving the status issues, things that werent perceived were seen. Administrator Blood Stream Military Official is praising the contractor of his actions. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is excited over the battle iming as expected of my disciple. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World continues to ask if youre really the same challenger from floor 10. With the overflowing messages from the corner of the sight. Soul of yer Nam GungHyuk has been consumed. Proficiency increased by 47%. And the mark of necromancy on Nam GungHyuks corpse that is yet to disappear Innate ability Necromancys proficiency reached 100%. Innate ability Necromancy has ranked up. After checking everything, I took a nce at Nam GungHyuks corpse. He died with eyes open as if in disbelief over dying from a skill like the Last Stand. As if he could not ept that he has lost. Of course, that was not important so my thoughts wandered. Why is this corpse not disappearing? His corpse was still here inside the challenge area. Unlike the challengers that dissipated like the sand at their death, he still remained. Is this the result of alleviating the break in penalty? It seemed likely. Since these never urred before the system expansion. I attempted to analyze him using the Fire Dragons eyes with expectation. A bummer. The equipment he had was not that great. Most of them were c ranked items unworthy of taking. And even his most used weapon was a mere B+ rank. With most options being useless such as recovering durability or being unbreakable in most cases. All my expectations dwindled. And here I thought that I could at least loot the items since their corpse remained. But that was just a momentary thought. Leaving the disappointment aside, I took the Blood Demon Sword and stabbed his back. Activating True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s exclusive skill Blood Eat. Items rank raises to A- (1,174/1,400) from absorbing challenger Nam GungHyuks blood. is imprinted on the Blood Eats exclusive slot from absorbing challenger Nam GungHyuks blood. Seeing the message of Blood Demon Swords growth, I calmed my senses. Since this bad rtionship has been finally put to an end. It was time to return to the waiting area. As I always have. ?- -? Youve entered the 15th floors waiting room. Initiating system expansion. Command Quest is avable. Challenger can receive multiple quests from the administrator from now on. Quests recing personal challenges will proceed based on the records of administrators lives. After clearing the quest, rewards can be obtained from the administrators that issued the quest. However, only one quest can be epted per floor. The moment after returning from the 14th challenge stage, a massive system expansion started. A Quest. It was always suspected that there is a reason why the administrators treated me kindly. As if confirming that suspicion, a system of epting administratorsmission appeared in the form of quests. Now it makes sense why all the admins tried to appeal to me. And there is a limit stating that only one quest can be epted per floor. With a limit on eptable quests per floor. Each quest would have a priority. Thus every administrator would attempt to gain priority through appealing to the challenger. Now it makes sense. But I had no intention of epting quests right now. It was because I had to confirm and analyze all the rewards earned from this challenge. First, I confirmed the newly developed necromancy skill. Unique Attribute C Necromancy (A) To discover newly added information below the Necromancy skill that just became an A rank. Detailed Effect (7) C Grim Reaper s capability will blossom. Seeing the undetailed Detailed Effects, I frowned. Blossoming the grim reapers capability. What on earth is this about? Grim Reaper(). To literally trante, it meant the god of the dead. But it was difficult to figure out what type of abilities it would give me. Activating the power, Divinity. Activating divinity did not change anything either. Even if other abilities were used, it was difficult to say if that grim reapers capabilities have really blossomed. Would it be known if I were to be in a battle? . It was uncertain. However, regardless of what it was, it was certain that it would not harm me, so I decided to not think about it. Im sure Ill find outter on what that means. Thinking about it in simpler terms, I decided to check the other rewards. Inventory, There were a total of two items acquired from clearing the 14th floor. Wind Spirits Boots Rank : A+ Movement Speed +70% Boots imbued with the powers of wind spirit by the enchanting of the legendary spirit mage. Adding a small amount of mana to the boots will activate exclusive effect Path of the WInd and enable mid-air movements. With the smallest amount of potential for spirit magic, once activating Path of the WInd you can control a wind spirit. The first reward to be checked was something considered to be a basic ascension reward, Wind Spirit Boots. Mid-air movements were not too appealing since I had the Steel Wings Activating the Wind Spirits Boots (A+)s Exclusive Effect Path of the Wind. But I realized after moving around with it equipped. You possess a small innate spirit magic potential. The wind spirit will assist in your movement. !? That these wind spirits boots will make my fights better. This is quite useful To sum it up, the wind spirit boots create a sort of stepping field mid air. Sort of like using the exclusive effect path of the wind to create a stepping field, and making movements based on that? Movements became more active and battle midair did be morefortable. With the assistance of wind spirit, movement in air became smooth as butter. As if moving from pavement turned to icy roads. The message notifying of my innate spirit magic potential was ignored. As that was most likely the result of the potentials created from the Rulers Halo. As that halo had the ability to increase the amount of potentials I had. Im sure that its not enough to learn actual spirit magic though, But with that minimal amount of potential was enough to maximize the value of the wind spirits boots. Satisfied with that, I took out the second reward from the inventory. Sky Breaking Sword. A sword capable of breaking the heavens. Perhaps the rewards name was odd because I managed to kill Nam GungHyuk with the title of Sword Dragon of the Blue Sky. Furthermore, an ominous violet hue flickered from the body of the de adding to its creepiness. It certainly could break the heavens with its appearance alone. But that would be improbable so expectation had to be toned down. But I realized after activating Fire Dragons eyes to look at the Sky Breaking Sword. Sky Breaking Sword Rank : A+ Cutting Force +10% Charisma +10% Attack Speed +10% Mana Management +10% A mana sword with adjusting stats existing solely to shatter the heavens. Sky Breaking Sword will grow faster when breaking the unbreakables. When mana is applied, exclusive effect Sky Break can be activated. When Sky Break is activated, the sword will be applied absolute destruction status and can cut through mana itself. However, Sky Break will require more mana the harder the item is to be cut. When activating the Body and Sword as One, its exclusive effect Sword Sense can be activated. When Sword Sense is activated, you can choose an item within the de category to learn it as a form of a skill. However, Sword Sense can only be used twice, and the same skill can not be learned twice. Why this item wasbeled as the Sky Breaking Sword. [To be continued.] Chapter 128: Chapter 128:
Sky Breaking Sword. It was not an overstatement to have the title of a sword breaking the heavens. With this type of effect, it wouldnt be surprising to have a title beyond its current one. Cutting force, charisma, attack speed, mana movement. Its multiple buffs were amazing in itself, but its exclusive effect was more amazing. When mana is applied, exclusive effect Sky Break can be activated. When Sky Break is activated, the sword will be applied absolute destruction status and can cut through mana itself. However, Sky Break will require more mana the harder the item is to be cut, in return of having no limits on things it cant cut. Starting with the exclusive effect Sky Break. When activating the Body and Sword as One, its exclusive effect Sword Sense can be activated. When Sword Sense is activated, you can choose an item within the de category to learn it as a form of a skill. However, Sword Sense can only be used twice, and the same skill can not be learned twice. Now even the Sword Sense that helps the growth of users outside of items.. Just what are all of these? It was iprehensible to see these insane items be the bonus reward of the 15th floors. Of course. DThe bonus rewards will be reinforced from attaining victory facing a formidable opponent outside of the presented enemies. It wasnt like it was totally inconceivable at all. Because I can clearly remember seeing a message like that after finishing the challenges of the 14th floor. Its just that, it was a bit bizarre seeing all these crazy rewards just from defeating Nam GungHyuk. How crazy. At this point, Nam GungHyuk and my bad rtionship benefitted me more. I held my Sky Breaking Sword softly and started to concentrate. It was to activate the exclusive skill Sword Sense. The Sword Sense that can convert exclusive effects within the de category as a skill... If it works ording to my theory, then it would certainly create an interesting situation. Of course it did have the fine print of requiring the concentration of Body and Sword as One to activate it. Body and Sword as One is not difficult at all now. Body and Sword as One was not difficult. I have understood about it previously. And at this point, I have grown a lot more than before to understand it better. I quietly settled my mind to organize the concept of Body and Sword as One again. The existence that controls the mana within the body is will, and the foundation of that will is the thought. Body and Sword as One is a state disyed through how well you can manipte your thoughts. Body and Sword as One can never be reached from putting in mana inside the sword. The mana within the body turns into a controble state through a strong thought. Of course magics and martial arts differ in their maniption methods. Their basic maniption concept was the same. So by reinforcing the thought that my sword is my body while connecting my mana to the sword, Body and Sword as One can be activated. Fwoosh! Just like this. Body and Sword as One is a lot smoother than before now. I softly touched the trembling Sky Breaking Sword resonating with the mana. Although the sword ki was not manifested, seeing its ratherplete appearance was pleasing to the eyes. Perhaps a change of heart or reaching of enlightenment about sword me couldve brought this on. Putting aside the momentary appreciation, I activated the exclusive effect of the Sword Sense. Body and Sword as One has been reached. Activating the exclusive effect of Sky Breaking Sword (A+), Sword Sense. You can choose an item within the de category to learn it as a form of a skill. And Selection Complete. Youve learned the skill Sword Sense(A+)pletely. Number of Sword Sense left C 1/2 Iughed bitterly seeing the skill acquired through the exclusive skill of Sky Breaking Sword. It actually worked. To be able to absorb Sword Sense through Sword Sense. Of course its usage was limited to a total number of two, but it was still surprising. Skill C Sword Sense(A+) Proficiency C none Effects C You can choose an item within the de category to learn it as a form of a skill. However, Sword Sense can only be used twice, and the same skill can not be learned twice. Currently you have two uses left. The skill effects were the same as exclusive effects of Sword Sense. Down to the fact that once its allotted number is used up, you can no longer convert exclusive effects as skills. Of course, having no limits on its usage would be a cheat level skill.. We have the Harmonic Soul Demon Sword so I thought it would be possible for a skill with no limits. It couldnt be helped to feel disappointment. After shaking off the thought, I activated Sky Breaking Swords other exclusive effect. Activating Sky Breaking Sword (A+)s exclusive effect Sky Break. The limits on things that can be cut disappeared. Schwinng! With a chilling sound, I analyzed the Sky Breaking Sword sharply. This is basically the higherpatibility of Sword Ki. The purple lighting from the sword was not a normal sight. Almost as if the cutting element of sword ki has been reinforced to its limits? It was only a hypothesis but this should be able to cut through the Sword me as well. An absolute destruction affinity. The thought of Sword Aura by Nam GungHyuk shed through the mind. My theory suggests that the sword aura worked by dispersing thew altering nature to its surroundings. In other words, it could also mean that it should be able to meddle with other affinities. And perhaps thats how Nam GungHyuk was able to use the Flying Sword of Blue Sky to block my Rolling Sword of Blue Sky. Then perhaps its affinity for destruction could also be simr. If you think about it, the destruction affinity is no different than ignoring other types of affinity. It could be thought that Sky Break is a category of Sword Aura. I thought about how it would be if I were to ascend it to Sword Aura. Piercing through defense, its cutting affinity, refracting space.. Thinking how it had the potential to neutralize every bothersome affinity made meugh. If I can really use the Sword Aura, then I should be able to use the Sword Break without using an item Now it would be difficult to reach the state of Sword Aura, but there is never an easy way out. How exciting. It was the moment a new path opened. ?- -? The review for Sword Aura did notst long. After organizing all the new information regarding Sky Break, I activated Sword Aura. Body and Sword as One has been reached. Activating the exclusive effect of Sky Breaking Sword (A+), Sword Sense. You can choose an item within the de category to learn it as a form of a skill. And Selection Complete. Youve learned the skill Sky Break(A+)pletely. Number of Sword Sense left C 0/2 Youve confirmed the remaining usage of Sky Breaking Sword (A+)s exclusive skill, Sword Sense. Sky Breaking Sword (A+)s exclusive skill, Sword Sense haspletely perished. I continued on to learn Sky Break as a skill to own it myself. At first nce, it could seem like I wasted the two skill usages since I can already use the Sky Break by using the Sky Breaking Sword.. It cant be helped. If I wanted Sky Break for myself, I had to learn it as a skill. If I wanted to haveplete control and also increase its versatility, it was better to learn it as a skill than keeping it as the exclusive effect of an item. That ought to enable me to reach the state of Sword Aura. After finishing all the process, I unsheathed the Blood Demon Sword and observed the that I absorbed from Nam GungHyuk. Blood Eat Exclusive Slot (2/3) Without a doubt, it was a skill that improved martial arts. It was guessed from reading the description and effects, but using it made it make sense better. The number of affinity that can influence Sword me increased by one. It was a useful skill. Sword Ki had the affinity of cutting through everything, and Sword me had the affinity of shredding sword ki. Both affinities couldnt be given up, so it was necessary to add another affinity for different situations. Furthermore, had no concept of costing mana, so you could indefinitely reinforce the Will or Thought itself. I got something good. Feeling satisfied, I activated the Myth using the divine powers. Activating the myth . Effect is applied to Divinity Maniption. Effect is applied to Divinity Maniption. The myth acquired from the battle with Nam GungHyuk and this was quite useful as well. From , I was able to bring out the maximum strength, enabling me to fight at my best stats. And ording to its description, would buff me depending on how disadvantageous the battle is. The myth this time is practical. Of course its not like or like the are unusable. It would be useful facing opponents with vampiric features and I am certain that exorcism could be used sometime in the future. But it was a fact that , as a skill useful for any battle, was more versatile. I think this should be the end of the reward. There were a few growth of minor skills like Chaotic Sword-fighting y and Mana Circuit Chaotic Sword-fighting y said something about attack speed rising when ovepping, And Mana Circuit had nothing else that changed in the description. But that was not to say that I did not feel the growth at all, I felt with the leveling up of Mana Circuit, the mana energy solidified further and expanded. It was just not important enough for growth to be mentioned. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of challenger Nam GungHyuk. Strength increased by 4. Agility increased by 4. Stamina increased by 6. Mana increased by 7. Tenacity increased by 4. Followed it up by absorbing the soul of Nam GungHyuk, but unfortunately his skills were not absorbed. Minor skills were not an issue since Ive had a huge stat boost. Its about time to climb the tower again. After deciding that everything was reviewed, I stood up. The battle with Nam GungHyuk was a formidable battle, but my desire for growth did not stop there. And since Ive acquired a lot of new abilities through this challenge, I wanted to test out the extent of my growth. But.. Youve received a new message from your friend Baek RyunHwa To conclude, I was not able to go back to the tower. You have 17 unread messages from Baek RyunHwa. It was because I found messages from an acquaintance that I forgot about. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : Really now! Not even a single message and you leave to the tower? Have you gone mad? -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : I cant even contact you properly, and when I do, apparently youre on a death bed! So I go to nurse you, and the moment I take my eyes off you, youre GONE!!! -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : Everytime I look at you, another concern gets added to my list. Even if were not from the same guild, were still partners. Can you make sure to give me updates at least? It was Lee Hayeon. I felt guilty seeing her messages. Come to think of it, I never sent a message beforeing into the tower. It was too harsh considering shes been worried for me even before departing to Japan. She helped me get guild benefits despite never being an official member. And always asked me if I ever needed anything. Lee Hayeon has been the only one on Earth who has always been supportive of me in all manners. I should at least leave her a text before moving around. But the guiltsted only a short while before spotting the message below. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor): SungYeun-ssi, I dont know whats going inside the tower, but I have news. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : We got another challenger from a different dimension. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : Whats confirmed is that they hail from Ares, and recently caused a massive annihtion at London. It was because another dimensional challenger appeared on earth. I was concerned that it was a martial artist associated with Nam GungHyuk, But reading the message confirmed that it was not. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : So because of that, the hunters association proposed the high ranking challengers to subjugate them, and made a proposal to you as well. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : For the subjugation reward, the hunter association is offering 4 of B- ranked Skill Proficiency Potions and an increase of rank into A ranked hunter. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor): Its up to you if you want to ept it or not, Im just rying the message from the Hunter Association. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : If you ept the proposal, after returning, just shoot me a text. I will meet you at the Hunter Association. Ares. Perhaps it was because a challenger that has gone to the 11th floor appeared? I was highly intrigued by this. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : And this is a matter separate from the hunter associations proposal. -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : Can you give me a message when youre back on earth? -Baek RyunHwa(9th Floor) : Please. Ill be waiting for your text. After this message, there were no more texts from her.. I felt guilty, but there was no need to mull it over. Since.. What a perfect timing, I just decided to return to Earth. It truly was exquisite timing. The fact that I managed to kill Nam GungHyuk on the previous floor, and the appearance of Ares challenger. Along with countless skills recently acquired. It was almost as if the universe was telling me to go wild. I smiled faintly to open up the Contact Store. And here I was wondering how much Ive grown. Without hesitating, I bought a lowest ranked return stone. Youve purchased the Return Stone (F+). With this return, I should be able to analyze my skills better. [To be continued.] Chapter 129: Chapter 129:
The hunters ranks are divided into a total of 7 different categories. From the F rank, E rank, D rank, C rank, B rank, A rank, to S rank. It was truly a ranking system with no effort put into it. But while many differentws concerning hunters were passed, these 7 categories of rank were absolute. It had every reason to. Since it ssified the pure talent and skill of each hunter to separate them. And all the hunter associations around the world did not have the option to hand out the ranks. It was because the higher ranked you were, you could get tax exemptions, better benefits, etc. Of course, it did not matter to me that much since status or wealth of reality no longer had any value. It was an unspoken rule of the hunter association that you could demote a rank, but you could not advance a rank. But. To think that they would raise my rank into an A ranked hunter. ording to the message from Lee HaYeon. The hunter association was offering me a raise of rank as a reward for the subjugation mission. This could only mean one thing. That the Earth was currently in such chaos that giving out an A rank as a reward was not even a big deal. We do have a record of Nam GungHyuk causing a city to be nonexistent. The remaining question was, why would a challenger from an alternative dimension create chaos now of all times? I was sure that we had a method for preventing dimensional invasion When the earth was registered as a formal climbing dimension in the tower of trial, a system for dimensional invasion prevention method was created. And so it was assumed that wed never get someone like Nam GungHyuk running about trying to cause chaos. I cant understand it. its not like theyre trying to get rewards from the trials on each floor. There was no reason for them to create chaos on earth as there was nothing for them to gain. Its not like the tower would give them rewards out of it. I knew that it was meaningless to think about this. After all, seeing is believing. Rather than thinking about it, itd be better to see it for myself. I stopped thinking and activated the return stone. Challenger Han SungYeun , The will to return has been confirmed. You are returning to earth by using return stone. From now on, it was time to act as a hunter rather than a challenger. ?- -? I realized that I was back in my house as I opened my eyes. Thest ce I was at was in a hospital room in Japan The tower teleported me to the ce I considered home. To think you can return like this. I started to assess my items, surprised. Blood Demon Sword, Vampire Counts Tail Coat, Sky Breaking Sword, Wind Spirits Boots, Ancients Emperors Gray Crown, etc. I managed to bring every useful item, including normal items that were equipped back on earth fromst time. Luckily, every item that I possess seems to be able to move along with me. Id be in such a pinch if I were to ever lose my phone. If all my items were good to go, then I didnt have to waste any time. I should be able to move right after notifying Lee HaYeon. I sent a brief text to her and immediately moved to the hunters association. There were few people on the streets as usual, and few businesses have closed downpletely. It felt odd to see Korean stores closing down when it was Japan that was hit with the disaster.. But it was understandable. Theyre probably worried about what Korea will do if we also get challengers from alternative dimensions. And ording to Lee HaYeon, London also had a massive annihtion. Other than the hunters, citizens of Japan were not injured. But London was on a different topic altogether. As it was mentioned, Londons death toll was so high it was proper to be called an annihtion, and thus it instilled a fear of such cases happening in Korea as well. And this unrest would most likely span outside of korea too. Im sure other countries share a simr sentiment. As challengers from alternative dimensions are akin to natural disasters that show up without a warning... This unrest would surely continue until their safety would be guaranteed. It once again reminded me how much the tower of trials affected the entire world. And this would be the reason why the hunter associations are fine giving out ranks as rewards. And that thought was confirmed through reading a few articles while moving towards the hunter association. [The Hunter Association reported that we will actively recruit challengers to reinforce the defensive measures. so that citizens would have nothing to worry about.] [Specialist Lee HanGilsment on the Londons Disaster If these disasters continue happening, Korea will no longer be safe. brought forth massive amounts of attention] [Carpediem Guilds Leader, Andrei Tarkovsky warned If we do not invest in a challenger with proper potential, we will have to face another disaster of cataclysm level...] Perhaps the situation on Earth was worse than I thought. But that did not change what I had to do. In fact, it made it even clearer. Lets defeat that challenger in London. This time, I had no intention of killing the challengers indiscriminately. I was nning on figuring out the reason for their invasion despite theck of rewards. Of course, that process would not be a merry one, but it did not matter. I was prepared to dirty my hands. . After walking through the streets pondering, I arrived at the hunters association. And its been a while, SungYeun-ssi. Was faced with Lee HaYeon, emitting a freezing aura at the entrance of the association. I was quite surprised. She did tell me that shed meet me as soon as I contacted her, but shes so fast. It hasnt even been an hour since the text, but she was already here.. I smiled bitterly at her speed that seemed as if she was waiting for me near the area. It has been a while. Um, Im sorry for not letting you know before leaving for the tower. Lee HaYeon flinched at that, but eventually sighed and spoke. At least you know what you did. Can you at least treat me like a partner from now on?. Then she continued on seriously looking my way. Since youve epted the subjugation mission in London, you can head towards the Londons hunter association.. Ennd. You ought to know it well. Most magic based hunterse from the UK after all. Ah, the magicians of the clock tower.. I suppose, since its a national disaster, the magic tower would also get involved. Since magicians are hunters too. They can not decline the summons of the government during these situations. A wave of tiredness washed over me hearing that. That reminds me, I have to go through the airport if I want to get to the UK.. It was bothersome having to use the airport like thest time when I went to Japan. But the tiredness did notst long. Actually, no need for that this time. Lee HaYeon smiled brightly as if she had something to brag about. After you returned to the tower, I also climbed up the tower as well. My eyes widened in surprise after hearing something unexpected. I learned supportive magic for space traveling. It was pretty difficult to learn. But as long as I have the coordinates, I can travel to different countries. And Ive already gotten permission from the association to use it. Teleportation magic. A skill considered to be the cream of the crop in terms of support magic category. Were partners. I should do this much at least. I realized that my errands on Earth would run much more smoothly after hearing that. We can leave as soon as we hand in the report to the association.. Much more smoothly indeed. ?- -? After wrapping up the minor procedures of handing in the reports. Lee HaYeon put a hand on my shoulder and spoke in a calm manner. Setting up for teleportation is done. Were teleporting now to Ennd.. And Space traveling magics tend to be dizzy. Close your eyes for a bit. Youve been selected as the target of support magic . Moving to the selected coordinates with support magic . We arrived at the destination with her teleportation magic. It was observed that we were on top of a building. A man approached as if aware of our arrival while I was surveying the surroundings. By any chance, are you challenger Han SungYeun? Despite seeing their foreign appearance, seeing them speak in fluent korean, I realized. Hes a challenger. That this man with a professional attitude was a challenger. It was certain from seeing the meaning of differentnguages get tranted so perfectly. They did not seem like they epted the subjugation proposal, but rather a personnel of the UK hunter association. When I replied to his question, he bowed down and spoke. Thank you for your eptance of the proposal. It is an honor to meet the famed ghostde. I freaked out at that title acquired from hard work back in Japan. It was ufortable hearing such titles. And it was not like I was deserving of being addressed with titles like ghostde. no need to call me that. Please, just call me challenger Han SungYeun. Ah, if youre morefortable with that, then I will. And, thedy next to you? Another challenger of the tower, and my partner. She is in charge of different errands. I see. Please follow me to the meeting room. After the business-like speech, the man finally led us inside the building. At the end of the path, we went inside arge conference room with about ten or so people. I concluded after quickly analyzing the room. They all seem like challengers. It was assumed that every person in this conference room were challengers that had epted the subjugation mission. But, a few of them wore magicians attire.. They were challengers from the clock tower, also known as the magic tower. The magicians inside the room nced at me and looked away as if they saw a pebble in the road. As if they had no interest at all. Ignored me. Of course, I was not the only one they ignored, but all the other hunters. They also had supporters from other countries seated at the furthest location at the table. It was ridiculous to see the magicians seated at the highest location. (TLs notes: in korea (+ many asian countries) theres a higher and lower ce in the room/table. Those in higher status or the host of the event would sit at the highest ce, and those who are at their lowest status or those who have very little rtion to the host would sit at the farthest location.) What are they trying now. Treating people who came in their aid like this. Even the ones seated at the lowest seatings must be a high ranking challengers. This is absurd. People say that magicians are the consolidation of pride when they try to belittle them, but that truly fits this situation. Theyre the ones who called us over, and this is how they treat us? In that atmosphere, I frowned and was about to say something. Bam! Suddenly the magician seated at the highest seating stood up. No way! Y-you are! They shook violently and hurriedly took off the robe that covered their face. And Huh, I never thought that Id see you again like this.! Im honored to see you again.! Seeing the revealed face of the magician, I realized that Ive seen them before. Disciple! David Taylor. A great magician that I met during the 13th floor group challenge. His eyes were shining brightly as if he was rejoicing in seeing me. [To be continued.] Chapter 130: Chapter 130:
Seeing David Taylors rejoicing face was unexpected. It was iprehensible to see such a polite manner and expression as if he saw a noble guest. It couldnt be med. Whats going on? As I have yet to do anything worth being weed from him. In fact, Ive ignored his ns and cleared the 13th floor by myself once. Of course, I did it because I thought it was more efficient back then. David, who tried to clear the challenge meticulously ording to his own ns, might have had negative feelings towards me. But instead, his awed expression was seriously confusing me. And others seemed to think the same. The magicians at the higher end of the table were discussing among themselves in confusion. T-the elder took off his robe? Who the hell. No, who is that person? Are they some type of a respected hermit or something..? Otherwise, our elder would never act like that. But by disciple, arent they challengers chosen by the administrators of the towers? What good are they? As if the magicians never treated me like a mere pebble, they started to discuss quite a bit. David Taylor mustve been at a high position seeing how during their discussion, they seemed to be wary of my mood. Seeing that scenery before them, other hunters took a nce at me to engage in their own discussion. Oh, I know him. You know, that Korean challenger back in Japan. Ah, Ghostde. So he was famous. But what kind of rtionship do they have..? Have they met during a challenge? But his reaction is.. I suppose my information was well known seeing how all the hunters seemed to know something about me. Just like that, everyone inside the conference room began to theorize my rtionship with David Taylor. But, both the magicians and the hunters had something wrong. ..what kind of situation is this? As I, the topic of this entire discussion myself, was also dumbfounded at the current situation. I tried to think of the reasons why David was so friendly towards me. And Is it because I told them that I was the delegate of a god? I made a quick theory. It was likely since I absorbed some faith from activating Faith harvest. But even so, the friendliness that David was showing was inexplicable. But Power Faith Harvest is detecting a strong faith towards the user. It is faith that has already been harvested by Power Faith Harvest. Power Faith Harvest is not activated. I got the answer to this situation from the message that appeared. Faith Harvest. The cause of this was from the power acquired after defeating the vampire count at the 13th floor. The lie that I told in order to harvest the faith back then mustve affected David significantly. Although the exact process of the snowballed misunderstanding was not certain, it was obvious that he had the wrong idea. A strong faith. It was almost as if I became a leader of a cult. But I had no intention of resolving Davids faith. Since my n was Im going to let this be. This situation was going to benefit me after all. Although I am not an actual disciple, I did have divine powers along with myths and powers. With this, I couldnt be ssified as a typical challenger. So no matter what I said, it wouldnt be outright deemed as a lie. I opened my mouth to speak in a calm tone at that thought. Please, no need to call me a disciple. Please address me more casually David let out a serene smile at that. How could I casually address a delegate of god? With that sentence, the magicians started talking among themselves as if an explosion urred. And eventually, one of the magicians quietly approached David to ask him. E-elder. Just what does the delegate of god mean.? It means what it means. Challenger Han SungYeun is a delegate of god. Im sorry? A god? What is. I mean, towers are of the realm of iprehensibility I suppose, but. We have administrators on top of powers. Whats so iprehensible about it? David Taylor sharply cut back with a soft voice. I personally received powers and had it recorded in the magic tower, I dont get why you cant ept the truth. B-but elder, thats a different concept from delegate of.. Delegates of god are just another challenger with a better power. However, the power they disy is on a different level from the typical challengers. After speaking, David looked towards the magicians with a narrowed eye. Tsk. the ones set out to explore the unknown are the ones unepting of new discoveries. It was not certain if it was because it was the words of an elder, or if his speech was logical.. Mind your manners, he is deserving of such respect. The magicians were forcibly turned polite after getting yelled at by David. It was a good sight considering how arrogant they were before this. And with this, the conversation should flow much smoothly so it was a satisfying result. The only issue was, the unrted peoples attitudes also changed. Even the hunters seated at the very end were ncing at me, wary of my mood. .oh well, at least the conversation should flowfortably. Someone poked my back as I attempted to have a seat at the center of the rooms attention. When I turned my sight, Lee Hayeon was frozen from the pressure. SungYeun-ssi, i-is it true? That youre a delegate of a god..? I felt my mind go nk at that. . I supposed I also managed to fool an ally unintentionally. ?- -? After sitting down amidst the many eyes on me. I managed to exin a little bit about the misunderstanding of the discipleship. That although a delegate of god, its no more than just being a little better than others. However, the situation did not change much since I did not deny being a delegate of god. oh well, its better than being ignored by them like before. David Taylor interrupted my thoughts. Now that the delegate of god is here, let me exin the situation before the subjugation mission. The man assumed to be the hunter associations personnel lowered the screen. After a moment, the picture of big ben, thendmark of London appeared. The symbolic building that people think of even before the magic tower of the clock tower guild. However, in that picture, what was supposed to be a clear sky near the building, was a ck orb. After the annihtion, the challenger from an alternate dimension created that ck orb and went inside of it. David continued on with a serious expression. ording to our research, the ck orb on top of the big ben is a type of a barrier. Afterwards, he exined the properties of the barrier briefly. That it is a high ranking barrier unbreakable even if hundreds of magicians were to pour in their mana. And that the otherworldly challenger is most likely preparing for something inside of the orb. The listeners expressions turned grim at that. Its not surprising that theyre nervous. Since it meant that once that ck orb broke, no one would know what disaster would follow. However, David Taylor did mention that they had a way. The challengers of the towers get stronger through acquiring all types of skills and powers. Which means that the ck orb in the sky can also be destroyed by a skill or a power. The expressions of the hunters were not good even after hearing everything. From what I heard, that ck orb was left untouched even after a group attack by the clock tower guild But the type of skill or power that can destroy that insane barrier would not bemon. Hmmm.. And here I thought that we can just go defeat something together, the situation got harder. The UK hunters association most likely assumed that among the higher ranked challengers, one of them was bound to have a skill that could break that ck orb.. As they said, such a skill would note easy. Even in different dimensions, they belittled the power of the earthly dimension as being quite low. Even if one was a high ranking challenger, there would be no way to break a barrier unbroken by a group attack of an entire guild. However, I think it should be breakable. That story only included a typical challenger. I will break that ck orb. At this point, I have grown a lot through the battle with Nam GungHyuk. And.. Skill C Sky Break (A+) Proficiency C 0% Basic Effect C You can apply the absolute destruction status on the body or a weapon by using mana.. Detailed Effect C Can cut through mana itself, but will require more mana the harder the item is to be cut. The newly acquired skill, Sky Break. If that ck orb is a type of magic, then its an objectposed of mana. Then using the absolute destruction affinity, I could destroy the mana itself to break the barrier. H-how on earth. Not even a group attack of the magic tower could scratch the ck orb Of course, one of the magicians said in disbelief. I have few special powers because Im a disciple. . Being revealed to be a disciple due to David, I had no obligation to further exin myself. Since many things can be solved by using the title of delegate of god. But, because I am an apostle, I have to use a lot of things to use the power of god. And another good thing was that I did not have to exin every little thing. Not only will my mana and divine powers be used up, but I will also need items acquired from the towers as sacrifice. Additional errands require additionalpensation. Skill proficiency potion, skill mastering books, anything will do. I was being shameless iming to be the delegate of god, so it was time to raise the value of mybor. If you can sponsor items from the tower that I can use for the power of god, thatd be appreciated. Tons of money are to be invested for the power of religion. ..I think. [To be continued.] Chapter 131: Chapter 131:
Offerings. A wordmonly used across the cults we prepared some offerings as you requested. But such sayings becamemonce after multiple urrences hailing from the appearance of the tower. To be more specific, it was all thanks to David Taylor, who called me a disciple to solidify the existence of gods. I was amazed once I got on the rooftop of the UK hunters association. They really got every item from the tower.. The rooftop was filled with items from the tower, collected by every personnel of the UK hunters association. At that sight, many hunters gulped down. J-just how many skill proficiency potions are there? Those things donte cheap.. Damn, you cant even get skill books through typical challenge rewards, and they have 4 of those here.? Just how strong of a power is he going to use to require all of these? Im gonna go insane.. As the challenger based hunters were discussing, the items provided to me were of high quality. From weapon typed items to skill proficiency potions and skill mastering books.. To be honest, despite requesting offerings for god, I myself did not expect all of these. However, it was understandable. . I silently raised my head to look at the ck orb floating by Big Ben. Rumble! The ck orb was making a sound akin to a thundercloud. The highest ranking barrier that not even hundreds of magicians can scratch . I could clearly sense it using the Aura Sense that recently ranked up. That it is a concentration of ominous, uneasy, and thick mana. And since its floating right by the countrys capitol, it was natural for it to cause unrest. And it was pretty obvious what London would be if that ck orb was left alone. A worse disaster than the massive annihtion at London. Which is why the UK hunter association is willing to provide such support since I am able to destroy that. However, I was in a pickle with no more inventory space, but Lee HaYeon managed to help me out with that. .I did not bring it for this situation, but its the guilds rental dimensional pocket. Ill lend it to you so make sure to return it to meter. With the meticulous readiness of apetent partner, I was able to take all the sponsored items. It did poke at my consciousness to receive all of these items and I felt like I truly did be a leader of a cult.. I suppose, as long as I work as much as I was given. I ced the dimensional pocket by my waist and looked around the members at the rooftop to assess their abilities. And Itscking. I couldnt help but feel disappointed after analyzing the challengers levels. To my standard, David Taylor could be quite useful, but the rest were nothing more than an obstacle. And these challengers most likely were given the proposal after a careful selection.. This is worse than I thought. If that ck orb is the product of a challenger with a dimensional invasion penalty, then the impact of a challenger with no limits would be unimaginable. I cant even joke about extinction of earth anymore at this point. Perhaps a challenger foster n should be established as soon as possible. But that was the task of a government, and not something for me to worry about. Right now, my task would be to make sure none of these ipetent challengers die. Activating the Wind Spirits Boots (A+)s Exclusive Effect Path of the Wind. After activating the newly acquired boots exclusive effect. You possess a small innate spirit magic potential. The wind spirit will assist in your movements. I calmly said to everyone on the rooftop while stepping on mid air. Since all the offerings are here, Ill go ahead and break that ck orb. No one disputed. I was the only one who could break that after all. And because i exined everything beforehand, there was no more exnation needed. Ill charge in first after breaking the barrier, so feel free to follow me at your own pace. This part too. Ive already told the magicians and the challengers that I will be the first to go inside the orb. And because everyone was told beforehand, no one chimed in. Its just that, Lee HaYeon looked towards me anxiously.. Ill see you all in a bit. Her anxious demeanor diminished when I looked her way to say it. At that, I glided across the air to approach the ck orb. I thought about using the Steel Wings to fly there, but that took too much of my mana. On the other hand, the Wind Spirits Boots could be activated with a small amount of mana while disying a simr effect. If Im not in a rush, this method is more efficient. And I had to consider the battle with the challenger from a different dimension in a moment as well. Although the Wind Spirits Boots were slower than the Steel Wings, my body has surpassed the limits of human beings. After repeatedly running through the air, I managed to reach the ominous ck orb within a blink of an eye. Activating skill Sky Break. The limit on breakable things are dispelled. I applied Sky Break on my Blood Demon Sword and sent out a sh towards it. Although it was a clean textbook example of a sword strike without any tricks of spells. Crack! Just with that alone, resulted in an excellent oue. With arge amount of mana used up, the ck orb received a significant crack. Can cut through mana itself. Now it makes more sense. The moment the barrier was hit, it cracked open like a lumber being hit with an axe. It was not that the hardness of the barrier got broken into, but rather the mana that produces the hardness of the barrier got broken. If I tried to break this normally, it would need more mana than I used for the Sky Break. I got a good skill. Since the effects of the Sky Break had no limits on things that can not break. From now on, I should be able to confirm the extent of that description as well. This is fun. I smiled and swung the Blood Demon Sword again. Shatter! And followed through by going inside thepletely destroyed ck orb. Youve entered the magic area Futility. It was now time to repay for all the items I got from the UK hunters association. ?- -? Youve entered the magic area Futility. The moment stepping beyond the ck orb. Everything around me turned ck and my body got heavier like wet cotton. Everyone except for the master of the area will receive a -18 on all stats. Everyone except for the master of the area will receive a 300% increase in mana consumption rate and have difficulty detecting mana. Everyone except for the master of the area will lose their sense of direction and every skill associated with senses and perception will be sealed. Everyone except for the master of the area will be exposed to terrible illusions which can not be dispelled by skills. Everyone except for the master of the area will receive a critical hit when being attacked by someone else. A C18 on all stats, mana consumption rate increase of 300%, perception skills sealed, unbreakable illusion, etc.. Within a blink of an eye, countles debuffs overtook the body and started to suffocate me. But that onlysted for a second. The penalty of C18 on all stats is dispelled by the skill Forced Breakthrough. The penalty of mana consumption rate increase of 300% is dispelled by the skill Forced Breakthrough. The seal on sense of direction and perception is dispelled by the skill Mana Resistance. The area specific penalty Critical Hit is dispelled by the skill Mana Resistance. The skills forced breakthrough and calm took effect to revert my body back to its original state. Activating the power Calm. Magic Areas illusion effect Futility is dispelled by the power. And even that illusion effect that can not be broken by a skill got dispelled by calm. Even so, I couldnt help but let out a silent groan thinking about the master of this area. all the other challengers wouldve died immediately without being able to resist. The moment I stepped inside the ck orb, the exit also disappeared. And with not many ces for feet to rest on, it was not the optimal location for a battle either. With decreased stats, increased mana consumption rate and other penalties, it was obvious that most would end up panicking. Furthermore, this magic areas effects did not end there. Loss of sense of direction, and sealing of perception skills. This person hiding somewhere inside the ck orb made sure that no one would be able to find them. With a basic mana resistance skill, the effects would never be dispelled. I should probably warn other challengers to note up here. I attempted to rmend a retreat to the other challengers, but the phone was not in service. Of course, theres no way Id get a signal here. If phones actually worked in a magic area, that in itself would be ludicrous. After letting go of the thought, I stepped on air and sprinted at top speed. If I cant let them know of the issue, then I just have to get rid of the issue. I just had to wrap up this situation before the other challengers got inside the magic area. Running with that goal in mind, I managed to reach the center of the orb. It was not certain if it was the center, but a man stood in that location. Hm, what an unexpected situation. The man wore a pointy hat on top of ashen hair color. He wore a youthful appearance of a man in their twenties, but that was not an odd sight. There was a possibility that they regained their youth through a skill, power or an item since they were also a challenger. And even if none of the aforementioned were used, the tower had the ability to mature anyone as long as they had the abilities. Nothing would be perceived as out of the ordinary. To think there would be a strong enough challenger to pierce through the magic area. The ash haired man spoke while ying with the ends of his hat. And I calmly asked that man without a hint of emotion in my voice. What was your motive behind the massive annihtion in London? hm, you must be dumber than you look. Do you really think that Ill answer you? All the other dimensional challengers did. Ha, fucking dumbasses are ruining the reputation of the other dimensions. Unfortunately, I have no intention of. Then forget it. I cut him off and activated the divine powers. The divinity inside my heart started to course through my veins to emit a faint light. Activating the Myth . Effect is applied to Divinity Maniption. Effect is applied to Divinity Maniption. You are currently under a few penalties from being inside of a special area. Activating the Special Buff to raise +4 on all stats. After activating myths with divine powers, the mans expression turned grim. D-divine powers.! A disciple?! H-how could this be! There shouldnt be a god in this powerless small dimension! Regardless of the nonsense he spouted, I continued to activate all kinds of skills to its max. I dont care whether you answer me or not. I spoke calmly looking at the blood-drained expression of the man. Ill make sure you talk even if you dont want to. The lunatic that massacred the citizens of London. Will not be allowed the luxury of mercy. [To be continued.] Chapter 132: Chapter 132:
My fighting spirit was set aze as I reflected on what the ash haired man said. He was a lunatic that caused a mass murder of easily more than a hundred people . But rather than the anger of the mass annihtion, I focused on my intent to get the answer to the question buried at the back of my head. Divinity. It was already my third time hearing about divinity. God of Proof, god of Battle, and this ash haired man. Just what was that divinity for them to act like this? Perhaps this would be the ce where I can get the answer to that question. At that thought, my heart started to beat faster and energy coursed through my body. I have no time. I need to subdue him before anyone else gets here. I activated my mana circuit to its max and attacked him. Crash! Ive simultaneously activated the Grace of Wind, Instant eleration, plus other physical enhancements. To say the least, I was confident that Id be able to subdue most challengers within a few seconds with all of these. But the opponent mustve had their fair share of battles. The ash haired man quickly reacted to the attack. I-invisible! Fwoosh. The mans figure melted into the ck orb and disappeared. Seeing how he had to speak the title, it seemed like he activated a skill rather than magic. Seeminglycking in proficiency as he needed to speak out the name of the skill It was quite odd considering all the other challengers from alternative dimensions despised using their skills or powers. Unlike the martial artists, the magicians seem to have no qualms on using skills. The skill would most likely be not one based on their pure abilities seeing him yell out the name of the skill in haste. Perhaps a skill or power, if not, the exclusive effect of an item. I clicked my tongue at the raised difficulty of this situation. DHa, haha! You dared to enter the magicians area! Are you that ignorant? The mans voice echoed all throughout the ck space. If he was in front of me, I wouldve shed him at sight. I suppose, thered be no way for him to give me a hint on his location after going through the trouble of hiding himself. DI bet that the god in this puny dimension would also be a lowly being. You must be the only apostle. DThats too big of a power for an apostle without a deity to have.. DI wonder how your god would react if I took that away from you. It was absurd hearing the echoing voices while I was trying to focus on defense. Is he doing a one man show or something? All I did was to activate the divine powers, but he started to ramble about all types of his delusions. Seeing his tone of voice, it was evident that he was trying to get a rise out of me, but it was useless. After all. Ive never believed in a god, nor am I an apostle, and most importantly, there is no god on Earth. After the great upheaval, no powers like divinity appeared nor priest-like hunters. It wouldnt be too far of a reach to assume that I am the only one on earth to have divine powers. My silence mustve let the opponent know that provocation is not working, as he started to attack me instead of talking. Crack! Tens of ice arrows manifested in the air aiming my way. Once all the arrows were blocked, blue mes started to explode around me. Of course. Activating skill Counter Shield. I took little to no damage by blocking them all using the counter shield. But I felt a sense of loss charging the counter shield with small attacks. The damned magician was not set on battling with me like before. is he nning on dragging this out? A prolonged battle when other challengers are about toe in.. Of course its not like he chose the prolonged battle knowing that, but it was not an optimal oue. I thought about it for a bit and decided on the next course of action. The magician must also be within this ck orb somewhere. This orb wasrge, but it was not infinite. If it was, the ash haired man wouldve never faced me in person. But he saw me, chose to hide in a hurry, and fight me in a prolonged battle. Which meant that he could hide, but had no way of escaping. He shouldnt be able to escape an attack that will destroy this entire ce After realizing that fact, I quickly charged up the shield by receiving every attack with it. And. The skill Counter Shield releases the umted damage at once. I sheathed both swords and turned the counter shield into a form of a sword. Activating the of Real Heavenly blood Demonic sword. After activating the Will Reinforcement taken from Nam GungHyuk through Blood Eat, I rotated my sword. Activating the Exclusive Skill of Harmonic Soul Demon Sword, Double Attack. Rolling Sword of Blue Sky. The sword technique that cuts down everything within an area stormed out. ?- -? To be honest, it wasnt certain that this one technique would turn the tide of the battle. It was concerning that the enemy could use a skill known as the magic area, however, the enemy mainly used techniques rather than skills. A skilled one at that, being able to subtly include skills in their attacks. Thus it was natural to assume that he would be a difficult enemy to take down. But. C,cough. With a single technique, the ash haired man has fallen over and trembling as if he was having a seizure. They mustve seeded in blocking the Light Saber as they did not have any visible injuries.. I guess, they only look fine on the outside. They did not fall into the futility area due to being the master of this area.. But seeing their unfocused eyes, and rough breathing, it was clear that they would be unable to continue the fight. I thought that they were a strong opponent due to them being a skilled magician and using all these types of skills without an issue. But that mustve been a mistake on my part. No wonder my Indomitable Will didnt activate. I was wondering why my Indomitable Will skill wasnt activating against such a strong opponent, but now it made sense. An enemy who cant even properly face abination of skills would not be categorized as a strong opponent no matter how many skills or powers they possessed. What an oue it is I guess, this in itself aint half bad. I used the Wind Spirits Boots to approach the ash haired man. Then I held the mans hair to raise his head. C,cough. H,how can a monster like you, in this puny dimension.. The mans unfocused gaze was returning. I did not answer the man, but asked the man one sidedly. Stop talking about useless things, and get rid of the ck orb. The ck orb.? Get rid of the futility space. Bullshit do you know what I had to go through to create th..? Thud. I let go of his hair before he continued on. Well, I knew that it would end up like this in the first ce. But luckily, I managed to acquire a skill from the 13th floor just for situations like these. Activating skill Pain Increase. The receiver of your attacks will now feel twice of the pain inflicted. Without hesitating, I grabbed his right arm and twisted it. Crack! Ahhhhhhhrg! Dispel it. F-Fuck you! You son of a bitch! Do you even know who I am?! You dare treat me, the one who will be the great mage of the empire.!! Dispel it. Craaack! Seeing how he couldnte to his senses, I broke his left arm this time. He squirmed and screamed in pain with his arm twisted like a dirty rag. Kuaaaaaah! Im not going to say it again. Dispel it, right now. Damn you! I cant dispel it! I cant! Its not something that I can dispel! Im not lying! you cant dispel the area that you created yourself? Y-you asked why I murdered the people of this dimension? This magic area is made using the life force of those people. So unless their life energy is exhausted, it will never disap.. Ill know for sure once both of your legs are broken too. I moved to break both of his legs per my intentions. This challenger caused a mass annihtion, thus I nned on giving them no mercy. But the man added on with his blood drained face. I-it cant be dispelled. But I can get rid of the Futility Areas skill itself! I stopped my attempt to break his legs at that and tilted my head. Exin. The man hastily spoke analyzing my mood. S-so. This futility area absorbs all the life force around it. Eventually, all the citizens of this country might die from their life force being drained. And youre against that. R-right? I stayed silent at his speech. . After all. I had no idea exactly what this barrier was doing. All I wanted was that the other challengers would not get meaninglessly sacrificed froming inside this space. And the moment I realized what type of ability this barrier had. This lunatic is crazier than I thought. I felt an unbearable disgust and contempt. A device to absorb all the life force of the people in London. This prolonged n wouldve caused the destruction of an entire country if I did not step in. B,but If i stop the function of the futility area, no one will be able toe into this area and naturally disappear within hours. This man who did not know that continued to passionately talk about the demise of this field. If this man stops its function, the other challengers would not get involved. And hearing that the futility area will naturally be dispelled in a few hours, I had nothing else to worry about. Every function of the Magic Area Futility is stopped. Other than the master of the area, ess will be denied. The Area will naturally be dispelled after 8 hours. The effect immediately took ce after I told the ash haired man to stop the futility area. Now I can standfortably. The empty space changed to feel like a solid surface and I was able to stand without flying. Additionally, few penalty effects disappeared so I stopped using my skills and powers. Since ess is forbidden now, I dont have to worry about other challengers. After confirming that, I asked the man on the floor. Name of dimension, your name, and reason foring to Earth. Um, before that, can I make a deal? I-Im sure that it would be useful to you and your god.. Answer. A-Ares is my home dimension, and the name is Seindal! Puny dimension, um. The earth. I came to receive faith.. What does it mean to receive faith? Huh? You came to me without knowing that? Before he could continue further, I stepped on his left leg. W-wait! Ill tell you! Please! Move that leg of yours! Get to the point. In a secret ancient ruin, there was an ancient document that said that distinguished magicians or knights can break through their limits through faith. . Through the faith of people, divinity would umte in the heart with mana circles. And with that, you can reach a higher level of magic to be the grand magician. And what does that have to do with mass annihtion? Fear towards a tyrant is a type of faith as well, so I decided that itd be more efficient to instill fear in people than saving the people. Crazy bastard, I looked at the man with a cold gaze and activated the Fire Dragons Eyes. Skill Fire Dragons Eyes detects no lie. He did not lie, and that made me despise him more. He attempted to destroy an entire country just so he could be stronger? I was bbergasted, but his thoughts were not wrong to be honest. And I could tell because I had divinity. Attaining divinity would certainly turn him into a strong magician. But it was questionable on this specific method of receiving divinity. They should be able to receive divine powers through believing in other gods, so why all this? So I asked Seindal for the reason, and he hesitated but replied. The ancient document said that the divine powers with the trace of other gods, will not be useful in ascending me as a magician. To summarize what he said, Only pure divinity would ascend the level of the 9 distinct levels of circles. And thats the reason why he came to a smaller dimension with no gods to reach the 6th circle, a realm of great magicians. But, contrary to his expectation, because of me, he was unable to gather faith and ended up in a state of near death. Now that I got the answer to most of my questions, it was time for the final question. .Now my final question. Do you know anything about the god of proof and battle? To be honest, I was the most curious about them. But, I was not expecting too much from this guy since I thought he couldnt know that many things. I-Im not sure if such gods exist.. Skill Fire Dragons Eyes detected a lie. My eyes widened in surprise at the perceived lie. He knew. Seindal definitely knew something about both gods. To the point where he suddenly had to lie after saying the truth all this time. I felt that whatever intel he had, would undoubtedly be useful. I understand. The more important the information, the less you want to share. But.. I activated another skill acquired from the 13th floor looking at him. Activating skill Torture Technique. You can use a more effortless torture techniques from now on. It bes easier to instil fear on the receiver and every torture techniques efficiency raises by 10%. I wonder how long you can keep that important information to yourself. It would be quite the painful session for Seindal from now on. [To be continued.]
TLs notes: *One against a thousand- the word used here is a hanja word ????(һTǧ) meaning one man winning against a thousand enemy forces. It can be a title given to those who demonstrate excellent martial skills, or used to describe someone of extreme caliber. Chapter 133: Chapter 133:
Torture Technique. One of the skills acquired from the 13th floor challenges achievement reward. This skill, originally thought to be not as useful, had a good ability. It bes easier to instil fear for the receiver of the torture, while the effectiveness of the torture improves. A skill developed for torture including the increase of pain perception created a desirable result. P-please kill.. Stop.. This, this is enough The process of torture was troublesome and bothersome. asionally, Seindal would threaten me saying how he was going to kill every single being in this country. And every time, he had to demonstrate an unsightly appearance due to the torture techniques. Luckily, Seindals will were not as sturdy as I thought. As the torture continued on, he became more vulnerable and answered all the asked questions. Divinity, magic, god of proof, god of battle, the Ares dimension and more.. He even confessed the information I didnt ask. It was a torture in itself listening to every bit of information he spewed. What abor this is. It was like my body was bing tired after the continuous, boring and bothersome torture sessions. Of course, in real time, only 7 hours has passed, Thanks to the two torture effects, it ended faster than expected. But, since this was my first time conducting an actual torture, it look a lot out of my mentality. Thankfully, I managed to acquire a lot. I learned a lot about divine powers. Previously, I couldnt grasp the concept of divinity despite hearing my ears off about it.. I managed to learn many things just now. First of all, this divinity does not mean you immediately get treated as god by possessing it. What the Murim calls mid-energy center, or what the Ares calls mana circle heart needs to be avable to start umting divine powers. Its an energy more pure than anything else, and the easiest to resonate to any will. ording to Seindal, the most pure basic form of mana is divine powers, a type of disassembled mana. And The knights of magicians that umted these types of divine powers could ascend easily. It seemed like the importance of will was significant once you reach a certain level both in magic and swordsmanship.. Since the most basic form of mana reacted easily to any type of will, one could demonstrate a higher level of proficiency than the users ability. But apparently, it is quite difficult to disassemble mana to umte as divinity within the heart. But, there was another method of umting divine powers within the heart other than the aforementioned disassemblement of mana. And that was through Faith. Whether it came in the form of worship or fear, with enough faith, the receiver of that faith will umte divine powers in their heart. Through that, they could advance in their skills which is what caused Seindal to cause a mass annihtion in what he deemed a puny dimension. He failed though. And this is what Seindal learned through the ancient ruins documents. This is the extent of the knowledge gained regarding divinity, but I managed to learn more about the god of proof and battle. DT-there was a divine revtion! A revtion that must never be disclosed! And that came in the most unexpected form of information. DI-it said that if a certain ancient ruin can be found, I can be the third great magician of the empire. DThe apostle of god of battle visited me and gave me that revtion. I-Im not lying! DA-and so I followed that revtion to find the ancient ruins and the documents. God of battle. The divine revtions that Ive only felt through the messages on the 13th floor were real. The wicked divine revtion that manipted Seindal toe to Earth. Just like what the god of proof said, other gods seem to have a dislike for me. To have the god of battle directly involved in this. My mood turned sour seeing the god of battle disy their disapproval of me learning divinity by myself. It was not a light matter seeing them go beyond expressing their displease but also cause an entire massacre in London. The god of battle was now my nemesis. I have no idea why a god that acknowledged my presence by a single message decided to make me their enemy.. But what was certain was that the god of battle was a being that could act in such way just from their disagreement over my acquisition of divine powers. right, so you want a piece of me? The god of battle clearly had hostility towards me and expressed that through Seindal. Even if that being was a god, I no longer felt the need to lower myself to it. Get strong, stronger, and even stronger than anyone to never be oppressed. I climbed the tower with that sentiment thus I too, built up my own hostility towards gods. I quietly organized my thoughts. I need my divine powers to grow stronger. The god of battle attempted to create an issue out of my possession of divine powers. Of course I deemed it as a ludicrous thing before. Seeing the god disy their hostility, it gave me the certainty that there was more to divinity than meets the eye. I was not sure of what that was just yet, but it was not normal. Pure divinity is said to ascend the level of being. An energy said to be the purest form of mana disassembled, never created through the normal means. If the divinity really had a transcendent ability, then my next course of actions were already set in stone. ..if there are towers, and divine powers exist, could I be strong enough to kill a god? This could be a path without an answer, and I might never be able to turn back. But there was no hesitation. Since Ive never walked through a path that could be reversed. sh! You have absorbed the soul of the challenger Seindal. Proficiency increased by 4.4%. The moment a chilling sound rang out, the Blood Demon Sword absorbed all the blood spilt on the ground. Activating True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s exclusive skill Blood Eat. Items rank raises to A- (1,400/1,400) from absorbing challenger Nam GungHyuks blood. The rank of the item reached a ceiling. The item will now ascend from A- rank to A rank. is imprinted on the Blood Eats exclusive slot from absorbing challenger Seindals blood. The time to return to the tower approached. ?- -? The subjugation mission ended too fast to the point where it felt like a waste to have bought that return stone. After an hour of Seindals death, the futility area broke down. And the UK hunters association confirmed that Seindals magic areapletely disappeared. Afterwards, the UK hunters association asked many bothersome questions of attending the press conference, or moving to the UK. They tried to lure me with tax exemption, or other benefits. To tell the truth, the wealth or status of Earth no longer attracted me. Growth. My only focus was on how much I could grow. I had no intention of getting involved with bothersome events. So I asked Lee HaYeon with the task of taking care of the follow-up events. Which she took care of with a sad face. And Hunter Han Sungyeun Rank : A Type : Close Combat Category : Challenger Issued Date : 2026 C 01 C 21 I received the newly provided hunter license while I was residing in the hotel getting ready for the swarm of reporters. A rank hunter, huh. Back then, I dreamed of bing an A ranked hunter. The newly provided hunter license did not invoke any new sentiments in me. Expect that maybe the dungeon ess would be easier in the future. I changed so much. It felt like yesterday training each day aiming to be a hunter. Despite bing an A ranked hunter, I did not even feel excitement over it. I put away the hunter license and sat with my legs crossed ignoring the thoughts. Seindal said that divine powers are the result of disassembling the mana into its purest form. I was attempting to use the newly acquired information about divine powers. Testing if mana can be turned into divine powers by refining it like a centrifuge. I attempted many different hypotheses to refine the mana.. After multiple attempts, I dered that mana had limits on how much it could be disassembled. No. at this rate, mana cant be turned into divine powers. As if proving that Seindal was not lying, the more the mana was refined, the more sensitive it became to will. But that was the extent of it. No matter how many times I tried to purity the mana into its purest form, once it reached a point, it stopped purifying as if it reached a wall. This is hard. I almost understand why Seindal was trying to umte divine powers through mass annihtion. Without an extraordinary caliber, divine powers would never be created. But that did not disappoint me. Because.. Activating the power Divinity I already possessed divine powers. Fwoosh! Once surrounding myself with the divine powers, a dim light filled the hotel room. I tilted my head after trying out different things. Hm, just because you can use divine powers, doesnt mean that you can create sword ki or magic.. What is it? Seindal said that divine powers are the most refined versions of mana. But no matter how much thought was poured into the divine powers, it was immovable. And without the power of Heros Protection, maniption would be impossible. . I stopped the maniption of divine powers to think. It does not react to will, but only demonstrates its effect when multiple myths are activated.. Perhaps divine powers reacted to something else. Faith? Belief? I wonder if those are what moves it? Perhaps faiths like or are catalysts to activate divinity. Im not so sure, but divine powers seem to be only usable as they are right now. With no amount of thinking providing a solution, I stopped thinking further. Instead, I started to absorb Seindals soul that Ive put off. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of the challenger Seindal. Strength increased by 2. Agility increased by 1 Stamina increased by 2. Mana increased by 7. Tenacity increased by 2. Just likest time I absorbed Nam GungHyuks soul, I received no skills this time either. oh well, I managed to absorb Seindals skill in Blood Eats exclusive slot. There were no lingering attachments since I managed to get some nice skills by using the Blood Demon Sword. And the miniscule raised physical stats made me feel good too. It was far better than getting a headache over the divinity. Even if I try to figure things out alone, Ill end up in the same spot. Since divinity was not something that I can learn to use just because I want to. With no advisers and limited intel on Earth, there was an unbreakable boundary. So. Time up. Returning to the tower. The real study on divine powers would continue back at the tower. ?- -? With the remainder of time used up, I returned to the tower and put the dimensional pocket inside the inventory. And created a portal using the towersmand. The two days on Earth before returning were plenty of a rest. There were no more rewards to be checked either. And no other rewards to be used beforehand. And the rewards that I received under the pretense of offerings were not something I was eager to receive as I was a high ranking challenger even among the hard difficulty levels. Skill proficiency potion, random skill book, Body Fortifying Potion etc.. There were many different items, but having them made no difference. To the point it would be better to give them out to others at an appropriate timing. Of course, skill proficiency potions could be used in the future for myself. However, the skill proficiency potion was unusable at this point in time. After all. Just because I raised my skill proficiency, my rank would not be raised so there was norge profit from it. Therefore, it would be much more efficient to use it right before the skill proficiency reached ranking up level. There was no need to waste time since there was no worthy item. Resting peacefully in the tower is a luxury. This was the perfect timing to continue to climb the tower. Entering Tower of Trials floor 15. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is War. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. A momentary pause of seeing the familiar trial message. I looked towards the scenery beyond the portal and attempted to understand the trial. What is the purpose of the trial and what I can do to get better rewards. But I flinched at the sight of the scenery for the trial. And what is this now? After all. This was my first time starting the trial inside a dark and eerie tent. Furthermore.. mercenaries, we got the order to be in the battle! I did not expect the trial to start by being ordered by a man wearing a ck robe. Kill those damned cultists defiling our god of dark! There was no time to even think about the situation I was in. After all. The robed man was standing by the tents entrance gritting his teeth, shouting in anger. Money or status! You will be honored if you achieve victory in this holy war! Holy war. A battle based on religious beliefs.. Its time to bring judgment to those cultists serving the god of battle! Now the story of the 15th floor made sense. The 15th floor trial is starting. Remaining time C 17 day Trial sess condition C Lead the holy war into victory within the time limit. Trial fail condition C Challengers death or the end of remainder of time. Trial sess reward C Protection Bracelet of a God without Name(S+) Trial fail penalty C Death God of battle. My gaze turned cold while muttering quietly. It would seem like the 15th floors trial would be quite interesting. [To be continued.] Chapter 134: Chapter 134:
God of Dark. It was the divine name that Ive heard being mentioned in the 12th floors trial stage. Of course, because Ive only heard it in passing, Ive never given too much thought about it. I thought that it was just one of those useless additional words you can often see during gaming. After all, That trial had more emphasis on the duplicated self than the god of dark. At the trial based on an ancient imperial pce, what I felt about the god of dark was that they felt ominous. But through this trial, I managed to learn more about the god of dark. It feels sinister. I frowned right after exiting the tent which is the starting point of the 15th floor. Ahhhh.! Damn it all! My masterpiece is destroyed because of those fucking cultists! I bet we can get more corpses with this battle. Heh, Im looking forward to it. Hey, you mercs! Stop damaging the corpses so much! Shit, if you keep shredding the corpses into rags, we cant use spirit magic on it! The crowd of people wearing a ck robe emitting an eerie atmosphere filled the tent. And some of them were muttering near the rotting corpses as if theyve got a screw loose. Instead of the cultists of the god of battle, this group feels more like a cultist. With everyone wearing a ck clothing, it felt menacing to be near them. But per the requirements of the trial, I seemed to be a mercenary in support of this group, so I could not express my discontent. I could only follow the order of getting ready for the battle. But the others that poured out of the tent cursed loudly expressing their disgust. Fuck, never in my years of mercenary would I ever get used to this. This fucking minacious bastards.. Blergh.. Sure they can practice spirit magic, but do they really have to treat those corpses like their lover? Who knows. I wonder why the empire hasnt dered them as cultists yet.. They seemed like other mercenaries nning on getting involved with this battle, with a straightforward manner of speech. By mercenaries, they must be receivingpensation from the priests of god of dark. It was quite ridiculous seeing the mercenaries curse out the ones who are giving them money ng ng ng! Its the cultistssss! Everyone, ready for battle! With the ringing of the bell somewhere, the trial begun. Below the hill with many tents, a crimson wave of people appeared. Seeing how the mana circuit could detect their presence, they must be of below the average caliber.. There must be at least a few thousand. With the individual soldiers skills being low, the enemy made it up with numbers. In contrast, the forces on this side might be at most a few hundred. Even if all the corpses and the robed priests were counted, the number could not reach more than a thousand. And as the mercenaries knew that as well, their expression turned grim. Sigh, fuck.. I guess this is where Ill be burying my bones. Look at that number. Stop saying nonsense and unsheathe your sword. Youve been through a lot of swarmed battles already. Youre right. And I bet those talented priests could raise a few more dead to win. But, this mustve not been their first rodeo as they immediately got ready to be on the offensive. As I was also getting ready to join the battle, a system message appeared. Starting the special assignment, Path of the Commander. Demonstrate your talents to get respected as themander among the mercenaries. Completing the special assignment will increase yourpletion rewards. Its been a while since Ive received a special assignment.. Demonstrate my talents, huh.. I was already nning on doing that even without the assignment. A war against the forces of the god of battle was always wee. And.. These types ofrge scale battles were my specialty. ?- -? Reinel was a high ranking mercenary who had seen many things in life. She was an experienced fighter with countless real life battle experiences and guarding small andrge merchant groups. And managed to reach the stage of Aura Users that only official knights can manage to reach. Reinel wished to step up as a sturdy swordsman like the knights. And that was the yearning of the sword that her heart desired. But the paths avable for her, who did not learn aura training techniques, were slim. Whether to traverse across countless battlefields to learn or take what shes given and live with the life of the high ranked mercenary. And Reinel chose the former. The reason why she chose to participate in the battle of conquering the priests of god of battle was so that she could continue in her growth. Even if the ones serving the god of dark might not be two faced,missions that could benefit the society and get battle experience was rare. It was a lucky find for Reinel. But her luck did not continue for long. .n-no way. Theres no way we can win this. Reinel let out a raspy breath after defeating more than thirty cultist members. No matter how great her swordsmanship might be, a human is a human. Even if mana existed, limits could not be surpassed. And that was the case for Reinel. I cant even feel my arms at this point The cultists were not very strong, but their numbers could not be counted. Unlike the allied forces that could barely get a thousand, the enemy forces overflowed like water. This is how I die. So meaninglessly I couldnt even reach the highest rank. Reinel could feel it seeing the sword swinging towards her. What an idiot. If I knew that it would end like this, I wouldve never participated in this holy war. That she no longer had any strength to avoid any attacks. If I did, then Im sure that I couldve be stronger.. Reinel med herself for getting involved with the holy war.. But to say the least, the cultists sword never reached her neck. Boom! But rather, the body of the cultist that aimed for Reinels throat exploded in half. Even before Reinel could process what had just urred, an emotionless voice reached her ears. You seem tired. Itd be best to retreat for now. Its near impossible to remain calm in the midst of a battle. Especially in wars like these between different religions filled with insanity. But the mans voice had no trace of any emotion. The moment she flinched at the machine-like voice programmed to do its task. Ill buy you some time to retreat. With that, the man passed by Reinel to attack the wave of cultists. What on earth. From the attire youd only see in social gatherings of nobles.. The longsword emitting an eerie purple light, and the blood colored crimson demon sword A lunatic? The mans outfit was so peculiar to the point of thinking that. But that onlysted a moment. The two swords on the mans hands began its dance. And what is this now.. Reinel could not believe the scene before her. Aura me.?! The auras ming around the two swords are a high ranking technique of aura maniption that shes only heard rumors of. The mes said to be created in order to destroy auras surrounded the crimson lightning. Crash! With a sound that seemed too loud for just a swing of a sword, the cultists were swept away. Small voices hiding fear were heard around the battlefield, as if it was not only Reniel that was surprised at it. K-krrrgh! W-who?! You bastard! Everyone, be careful! This guys dange! That sentence could not continue. sh! As the shy crimson lightning caressed through the cultists throat. Fwoosh! sh! Crack! The de of lightning continued onwards without hesitation. Powerful at times, smooth at times, and meticulous at times.. . Reinel watched the sight before her, forgetting the mans suggestion to retreat. That swordsmanship was in the realms of art at this point. Not only was it fit for battles, the strategies of the swordsmanship were excellent as well. Even if one were to exin the swordsmanship, and define each part, it was beyond the realms of normalprehension let alone replicating it. Whats more shocking was that the user of such swordsmanship was a young man. We seem like were of simr age, but they can already fight like that. However, no amount of jealousy arose within her. Only reverence towards an overwhelming genius bloomed in her heart. At that moment. Fwoosh-! A spear made of mes appeared mid-air as if the cultists also discovered the mans presence. D-danger..! Reinel attempted to warn the man, but that warning was useless. An ominous energy fit to shatter the heavens surrounded the mans two swords, and it shot out towards the me polearm. Woosh! The spear of mes that the cultists worked so hard to create got cut in half and disappeared. At that, Reinel was astonished, and the cultists were petrified. The magic got cut and vanished.? Theres no way! I-Ive never heard of anything like this before! How can a group magic be.! D-did a prieste to a ce like this? Fuck! E-even so, its only a single enemy! Victory will be upon us as long as we can defeat that guy! As the cultists were not unintelligent, a strong opponent appeared after a short while. D-dont be scared! We have the battle priest M?vier! That puny mercenary wont be a problem! A devil type priest with deer-like crimson antlers on the head, M?vier stood at the forefront. As soon as M?vier stood in the front, theyughed while letting out a violent stream of crimson energy. Hahaha! Youre quite skilled to make mee out here! But you will never win against! M?viers confident speech never met its end. sh-! The moment the mans sword shed across the space. The head of M?vier moved mid-air with an expression unaware of his death. W-what kind of technique Reinel was rendered speechless. If she saw it correctly, the mans sword pulled the space closer to cut down the enemy. But as if that was not a big deal, the man continued to attack the cultists. And the battle that followed could only be described as transcendent. Pulling the space, folding the space. Thats really a mercenary? Like me? That no longer could be considered within the realms of swordsmanship. Uwaaah! R-retreat! You must not face that monster alone! Call the bishop! We can not face this monster by ourselves! T-the battle priest M?vier is dead! Everyone must retreat, retreat now! Reinel pondered watching the mans continuous battle. If a grim reaper really existed in this world, that they would look like him. ?- -? Standing out in the battle was not difficult. Using the souls of hundreds of dead soldiers, I continuously replenished my mana and stamina. And with that, I maximized my skills output to lead the battle to victory with a simple swing of my sword. I wondered if I should use Truth-seeker of Blood skill, but that might not give the best impression to the allies so I chose against it. It cant be helped since Truth-seeker of Blood makes me look like a vampire. Even if a few skills couldnt be used, the battle was sufficient to be my stage. The Necromancys proficiency raised 0.00001% per soul so that was not fun though. I did benefit in the probability battle to absorb skills. I managed to absorb a few minor skills and had the opportunity tobine skills in a while. Everyone in the battle has engraved your existence in their souls. Congrattions, youvepleted the special assignment Path of the Commander. Recalibrating the rewards of the 15th trial floor. The assignmentpletion message popped up while I was looking at the retreating cultists. Furthermore. You got the achievement One against a Thousand +4 on every stat. I received a good achievement from defeatingrge amounts of enemies. I couldnt even raise my stats from using up all the souls absorbed through Necromancy. To get my stats raised by +4 from the achievement rewards, I couldnt help but be in a good mood. But, there was another message that I couldnt decide how I felt about it. Youve reaped the souls after killing many lives. You are starting to bloom the potential of grim reaper. Once my Necromancy reached the A rank, the potential of the grim reaper took root. Of course, only the message popped up and nothing urred afterwards, so I could not tell if anything changed. But this was also another method of growth. Ill figure it outter when I fully develop the potential of the grim reaper. And as I was enjoying the rewards of my efforts. Excuse me I turned my head towards the sound of the voice. To a beautifuldy with a cat-like appearance assumed to be a mercenary. Sorry um. She muttered as if she had something to say, and eventually spoke something very unexpected. T-thank you so much for earlier Thank me? I wondered what I did to deserve the thanks and I managed to recall a momentter. .Ah,e to think of it. I did rescue few people who were about to get killed. I never looked at them properly so I didnt realize, but she mustve been one of them. Ah, that.. Its nothing worth mentioning. Wererades so of course I should. Of course, half of it was true, and half of it was not. I did rescue anyone that I came across, but thats not because they were arade. I only said it toplete the requirements of the trial. Crade. But it mustve moved her as she looked at me with a deeply moved expression. I was about to let her go since I had no further business with her. But Starting the special assignment, Object of Admiration. Raise the capacity of allied forces by being admired from the best mercenary. The best mercenary will have an arrow pointing at them only visible to the challenger. Completing the special assignment will let the top mercenarymand in your ce. Completing the special assignment will increase yourpletion rewards. I immediately changed my thoughts once a new special assignment appeared. The best mercenary among the allied forces is Reinel Asir. After all. What kind of coincidence is. A small arrow appeared at the top of the head of the mercenary I was talking with. The small arrow was a sign of the best mercenary ording to the second special assignment. Thus, thedy I rescued was the most skilled mercenary among the allied forces. I let out the biggest smile realizing that. This trial might be the easiest one yet. Since I managed to find a recement for themander I was toozy to be. [To be continued.] Chapter 135: Chapter 135:
After sessfully ending a round of battle. The priests and mercenaries started to treat me more carefully. After all, I managed to receive the achievement of defeating a thousand enemies in a single battle.. To them, I might appear to be a type of a monster. And the treatment I got demonstrated that sentiment. Y-you can stay in this tent! Unlike the ominous tent that I started in, I got led to a normal and clean looking tent. I was quite surprised that I got an entire tent to myself.. To get such treatment during a war meant that I proved myself as such. Its just that there was no need to provide me with such a luxurious tent like this. But before I could tell them that, the priest who led me here moved quicker. I-if you need anything else, please let the apprentice priests know. T-then Ill take my leave.. Seeing the priest leave the tent like they were attempting to escape, I gave up on trying to speak. Perhaps it wouldnt be too bad to experience the luxuries once in a while. I sat on the bed disproportionate to the tent and spoke quietly. Status window. And. Han Sungyeun Radiance C Conqueror Strength C 121 Stamina C 117 Agility C 115 Mana C 114 Tenacity C 113 Innate ability C Necromancy(A) Innate power C Skill Combination Power C Calm(C-), Sword Silhouette Border(A-), Steel Wing(C+), Iron-blooded Sword(A-), Divine Powers(B), Blood Demon Hole(C+), Heros Protection(C+), Quick Mana Charge (C+) Skill C See details I smiled seeing the newly updated status window. Nice. Seeing every stat surpass three digits was quite pleasing to see. However, I did not open up my status window just to see the raised stats. Listing the new avable skills. It was time to assess the numerous skills acquired through this battle. New Skills : Charisma(C+) [Skill Rank UP!], Alchemy(C-), Battle Cry(D+), Fight Spirit Increase(E+), Glutton(F+), Battle Follow-up(E-), Casting(F-), Wolf Steps(D+), Dignity Increase(F+), Quick Maneuver(D-) There were lots of different things that I learned, but none of them were particrly useful. The ranks were low since all the ones Ive killed were small frys. But, thats not to say that I was disappointed. After all.. Activating the Innate Power Skill Combination. I had a special power that allowed me to find a use for lower ranked skills. Listing the avable skills. Please selectbination material from the skill list. I did not hesitate as Ive already decided on the direction of skillbinations i wanted to take from ncing at them beforehand. I think that itd be best tobine Charisma, Battle Cry, Fight Spirit Increase, and Dignity Increase. Skillbinations were a type of a random box since you could never predict what woulde out of it whenbining skills of different categories. But if you thought about it in reverse, if youbined simr types of skills, you could control the results in some way. I do have prior experience of acquiring skills that way, and with the new power I got, skillbination had been reinforced. Precisely.. Activating the power Heros Protection strongly. Your luck is temporarily raised. Because of the increase of luck effect from the Heros Protection. Combinationplete. New skill generated. Perhaps thats why the result ofbining 4 different skills was beyond my imagination. Skill C Absolute Charm(B+) Proficiency C 0% Basic Effect C Regardless of race, any life with intelligence will look at you favorably and receive an increase in all types of charm. However, ones with hostility towards you will not be affected, and depending on the situation, it can not be used. Detailed Effect C Depending on the users disposition, [Fear], [Attraction], [Worship] can be applied with special effect. At this time, activation message for [Fear] and [Worship] will pop up and can be controlled, but [Attraction] will not have an activation message nor can it be controlled. . To summarize, Absolute Charm was a technique for controlling the mass. Looking at the description of the skill, I couldnt help but feel conflicted. But that sentiment did notst long. I guess I shouldntin. Im sure it will have its uses. I averted my eyes from Absolute Charm and continued to activate the Skill Combination. Followed up by mixing the new skills with older skills to create a footwork category skill. Battle Follow-up, Wolf Steps, and Quick Maneuver werebined along with Shadow Steps that I havent been usingtely. Combinationplete. New skill generated. And what came about as a result ofbination had an efficiency far surpassing the Shadow Steps. Skill C Dark Wolfs Steps(A-) Proficiency C 0% Description C Footwork technique based on the movements of the legendary beast, Dark Wolf. Effects C Basic steps improves to be more efficient. When the skill is activated, every movements efficiency raises by 40% and all presence disappears. When moving at a dark ce, movement efficiency will double additionally. Since more effects were added, it was definitely beneficial. Without stopping here, I gathered up the remaining skills andbined them. As soon as Ibined the Alchemy, Glutton, and Casting, a new skill came out. Combinationplete. New skill generated. I quickly nced over to the description window to read what the effects were. Skill C Steel Eat(B+) Proficiency C 0% Basic Effect C When consuming steel, after a certain period of time, your constitution will be changed. Detailed Effect C When consuming an item, after a certain period of time, a random stat will be raised. It was rather straightforward. Without excessive exnation, if I were to consume steel or an item of the sort, I could be stronger. A good skill. I was actually thinking about what to do with the useless items. With this skill, I could absorb the item to raise my stats instead of trying to sell it back on earth or have it collect dust in my inventory. The part of consuming it worried me, but if i could raise my stats, it was worth it. I should look into this moreter on. Afterbining every skill I got, I had the capacity to look at other things. The Imprint Skill that I stole from Seindal using the Blood Eat skill . I forgot I had something like this. It was a skill I forgot to look at because of researching about divine powers. After clicking the Blood Eats exclusive slots, I looked into the details of . Blood Eats Exclusive slot(3/3) Soul Ego. Im not entirely sure on where to use it. It would seem like the magician Seindal was saving this skill to use on the magic barrier. But to a close range dealer like me, it was not a skill that had many uses. It wouldve been better to steal a magic based ability skill. But I did like that the skill itself will disappear after using it. Since its a , once the skill was used up, I could absorb another skill using Blood Eat.. Not bad at all. Since I could use Blood Eat at this trial, I had no ns on saving for a different asion. Activating the of True Blood Demon Sword. Messages followed right after activating the soul ego enhancement skill. Please select an item or barrier to imbue soul ego to. I had nothing to select. Soul Ego Enhancement was essentially imbuing an ego that will assist me into an item. Selecting True Blood Demon Sword as the target of . Its not like I was going to use it for few days to trash it. Therefore, selecting Blood Demon Sword that can grow with me was an obvious choice. Soul Ego of The 7th Blood Demon Lord Dam Cheonwoo is imbued within True Blood Demon Sword. With the numerous messages, the Blood Demon Sword began to vibrate surrounded by crimson energy. As if this moment was ting. Dfu, fufu Tis hath been eons of contempt and persecution. And DKwahaha! Worship me! Apud me! For thy Blood Demon Lord Dam Cheonwoo hath returned! My eyes narrowed in contempt listening to the voice echoing from the sword. . It seemed like a soul with a disturbed mind settled in the sword. ?- -? After wrapping up the preparations, I silently exited the tent to survey the surroundings. The priests serving the god of dark were eerie, but their skills in spirit magic were like no other. Since I could also use using the Ancient Emperors Grey Crown, it would be beneficial to see what they could do. I could learn how to use spirit magic more effectively. But I could not do that because of the reactions the priests and mercenaries had seeing me outside. I-isnt that the ughterer walking over there? Fuck, lets go somewhere else. Dont want to be in their way. Man a young man like him is a ughterer. He doesnt look like he cut down over a thousand people. Its because you havent seen it yourself, hes an absolute monster in the field. His expression didnt change at all, cutting down throats.. The mercenaries whispered while avoiding me. Oh, ohhh. So thats the ughterer. What a tempting body. If I could add that to my collections. Wouldnt it be faster for you to be a part of my collection by being killed by him than you getting the ughterer to be a part of yours? But hes a good guy. He only aims for the throats. Makes it easy for us to use spirit magic. The priests showed an interest in me, but flinched and retreated when our eyes met. its like Im being treated like a time bomb. I was a bit disheartened, but I understood. Me of the past would also struggle talking with a ughterer who murdered over a thousand people. So I gave up on researching about spirit magic and started to survey the battlefields terrains avoiding people. I was sure that itd have no uses, but it helped me kill time until the next battle. Eventually the chatter died out and silence followed as I was walking around quiet ces. But despite the silence of the environment, my ears had a different story. Because. DYou! Are you mocking this great one?! Why do you keep ignoring me? DTsk! Thousands desired to be in my presence in the Blood Demon Cult! Dimpertinent, how impertinent. This Blood Demon Lord Dam Cheonwoo is gracing them with an opportunity to speak to me and yet theyre declining so.. The irritating soul in the Blood Demon Sword kept trying to talk to me. Luckily, other people cant seem to hear him so it helped me avoid difficult situations. I havent replied once but it sure likes to talk alone. At this point, I wanted to send out a tribute to this soul ego named Dam Cheonwoo. Of course, not a tribute of words, but of fist. DAnd here I thought I managed to escape the underworld, but I turned into a master of a dreary guy. Its not that Im dreary. I just dislike useless conversations. However, since wed have a cooperative rtionship from here on, I spoke in a polite manner of speech instead of a fist. Doh? Are you finally going to enjoy a chat with this great one? Im no longer being watched. The tent was always surrounded by mercenaries. And countless eyes were on me the moment I stepped outside. I already had a bad reputation, so I declined to add another one by talking with a sword.. Dhow bewildering. You dont even know the Advanced Stealthmunication techniques? You seem like a child of eastern regions though. Advanced Stealthmunication? I dont know such things. And I do note from your ce of origin either. D what hath? inconceivable. Ares or Callian, no, even dimensions like Stania never had people with ck hair. I narrowed my eyes hearing Dam Cheonwoos mutterings. were you a challenger when you were alive? Dha, is that even a question? There was no one who did not know my name of Blood Demon Lord Dam Cheonwoo. Blood Demon Lord or whatnot, how many floors did you reach? Dso you really do not hail from the murim dimension. This great ones final floor was the 41st floor. My eyes sparkled at that number. If that was not a lie, then the information he held would undoubtedly be substantial. Seeing how they muttered about Stania or Ares, they must have significant knowledge of different dimensions as well. this might be my greatest benefit yet. However, now was not the time to ask him questions. I could always ask him questions once I returned to the waiting area. But feeling satisfaction at the soul ego could onlyst for a short while. Thinking about it, an odd thing about it surfaced. 41st floor I thought challengers that died from the 40th floor onwards could revive as an administrator? Why he chose to not be reborn as an admin. Dha! Are you telling me to live as the dog of the tower? That cant be called living. Id rather die than live like that. But the answer to that question was less interesting than expected. Ah, I see. The life as the soul ego of the blood demonic sword didnt seem much better than the administrators though. I half heartedly listened to Dam Cheonwoo and dered our rtionship. Well, I dont care what you were when you were alive. But now youre the soul ego within my sword. DI know already. Do you think this great one doesnt know that? You hath nothing to concern yourself about battles. hm. DI cant demonstrate the powers I possessed alive, but this great one was a genius of martial arts, and the master of techniques. What you desire shalt be true. With that sentence, the blood demonic swords de shook with crimson energy. And. DJust like this. The crimson energy surrounding the sword exploded on its own to create droplets of blood. . The blood created by the energy of the de turned sharp moving across the air. Sword, spear, sickle, bow, rope, axe, arrows etc. A more detailed weapon than the ones created by Truth-seeker of Blood. Dam Cheonwoos voice rang out from the sword as I watched the scenery before me. D I have more ways to assist you other than this so you have none to worry about. I seem to have quite thepetent supporter.. DSupporter? ah, you mean those tool like things. Damn. You really do hail from a different dimension. Ie from the Earth dimension. You probably have not heard about it. DEarth. Must be a smaller dimension. A dimension that recently got added to the official tower dimension. Huh, time sure flies fast. It was a voice that seemed to be in full reminiscence. But that soon disappeared. Dsomeones approaching. Lets end our chat here. Call forth upon this great one at ater time. Dam Cheonwoo settled down after seemingly sensing someone approaching me. Dand with this swords capability, it cant host this great ones mind for too long. Perhaps it had an ability to sleep inside the sword as it stopped moving altogether. I dont get the part of hosting the mind, but this is definitely convenient. I suppose its better than bothering me by talking endlessly. Ah! M-Mr. Swordsman, so this is where you were! As I sheathed the Blood Demon Sword, a hurried voice was heard. The mercenary that I met earlier, Reinel, approached me quickly. But even before I could speak, something unexpected came out of her mouth. I-its an ambush! The battle priest from the cult of battle is approaching our forces! It seemed that the priests serving the god of battle gathered up an elite unit to raid us. Reinel said that i have to quickly join the battle, and I was quite impressed at that. As expected of the tower of trials. The situation is bing more interesting now. Just as I was wanting for a quick battle, the situation became exactly what I desired. I got more than what I bargained for. In addition to clearing the special assignment, it was the perfect timing to see the usability of soul ego. Please lead me to where the elite unit is at. I smiled coldly towards Reinel. I will participate in the holy war immediately. It was time to run wild on the battlefield again. [To be continued.] Chapter 136: Chapter 136:
The hill surrounded with tents soon turned into a battlefield. F-fuck! an ambush by the cultists? What nonsense is this.! cough! Shit! Where are the priests? raise the dead, use magic or something at least! Protect the priests! the enemy is aiming for them to dispel the spirit magic! Guh! The sound of metal hitting metal rang out along with the flickering of light above the mes. Looking at the scene in front of me, I quickly analyzed the enemy forces level. its not arge numberpared to before. With the number barely over a hundred, it was nothing. However, at the same time, they were not as lousy as before. Seeing them take out the priests and mercs through a sneak attack efficiently. Most importantly, the elite unit members were using powers that had traces of divinity in it. Hahaha! Die, Die! Hurry up and drop dead you lot! insolent worms-! Crack! When the man wearing a blood stained robe swung out their fist, a few mercenaries burst open. That was not a metaphor. Their bodies, unable to withstand the force behind the fist, burst open at contact. Seeing how his body was littered with reddish bruises, it seemed like a physical enhancement typed power.. We finally get priest-like enemies, After going through countless powers enhancing healing and attack, this was morefortable for me. Its just that, Reinel who led me here, shivered as if not used to such sights. Wh, what kind of.. To have such inconceivable powers.. It was not that great of a power, but Reinel was trembling in fear. This is the strongest mercenary? She just felt like a coward, but I decided to understand it. After all, the tower of trials never handed out easy trials in the first ce. Especially to the challengers that chose the hard difficulty. Id assume that this trial stage wouldve caused a total defeat of my allied forces if I was not involved. But it was only a story of a stage. Miss Reinel. Get a hold of yourself. I ced a hand on her shoulders with a calm voice when she flinched at that. M-Mr. Swordsman. Calm down and protect the priest. The holy war will only be victorious when theyre alive. I, I understand. A-are you not going with us? The tide of the battle doesnt look too favorable for me to stand guard here. I looked at the cultist priests running amok like wild goats. There should be someone to settle things down. Mercenary Reinel Asir feels a strong respect towards you. Congrattions, youvepleted the special assignment Object of Admiration. The allied forces spirits will increase twofold and under strictmand, the battle formation will not be broken. Recalibrating the rewards of the 15th trial floor. What I just said mustve affected Reinel somehow as the special assignment gotpleted. Best of luck to you Mr. Swordsman. If we survive this, Ill treat you to a drink sometime. The confusion in her eyes disappeared and got reced by a firm determination. Id love that. Ill see youter then Miss Reinel. I halfheartedly replied to that and unsheathed both of my swords. Shhhk. The moment the swords emitted the sound of being unsheathed, Reinel quickly left the area. I moved midst the field while activating multiple skills. And Activating skill Dark Wolfs Steps. With the recently added movement skills, it allowed me to move without a presence. The benefits of concealing my presence was overwhelming in the chaotic battlefield. The effects can be really felt. Im right behind them but they cant even feel my presence. I neared the battle priest with crimson bruises and swung my sword. sh! After cutting down the unnamed battle priests throat, I calmly walked through the battlefield and waved my sword around. Fwoosh! sh! Crash! Most of them were unable to detect my presence and died with a smile on their face. Well, skills are skills, and this situation is happening. But I couldnt help but feel disappointed. The battle where I cut down a thousand had more edge to it. Of course, its not that the battle priests couldnt figure me out. Wha- what?! When did you? Some of them managed to detect me when I neared them by managing to keep their cool during the excitement.. sh! But the fact that their death was inevitable with a swing of a sword was an undeniable fact. The only difference would be that unlike the priests that died with an unsightly smile on their face, these ones died with a dumbfounded expression. But it was not that significant of a difference. The expressions that the heads that flew across the air held mattered not. Its easy. These were enemies that couldnt even scratch the ends of my clothing. At least when I fought against a thousand, there were few incidents where I almost got attacked.. This couldnt even be used as a fertilizer of experience. Administrator First Dragon yer Born in a Thousand Years is bbergasted by the overwhelming powerlessness of the priests from the cult of battle. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is enjoying the demonstration of their contractors skills. Administrator Fallen Heir of the Blood Demon Cult is looking at you favorably seeing you use Blood Demon Hole. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is eager of your skills demonstration but unfavorable towards a certain demonic practitioners ki storing method. Numerous messages popped up as if the administrators were enjoying the scenery of a massacre.. Ignoring their chats I continued my task of defeating the battle priests. I hope that my potential of grim reaper will fully bloom by the time this holy war ends. Thinking about a totally unrted topic. ?- -? The battle got wrapped up quicker than I expected. After about 70 battle priests died, the tide of the battle turned against them. W,what is this? Kazin, Hale, Raz! Darn it all! Where is everyone?! Most of the Battle mages dead! C,Cough! We must retreat! Retreat? To where? We did not n for this! Arghh! After registering that theirrades have died without anyone knowing, they all panicked to be defeated or be taken prisoner. And catching them was done by waking up Dam Cheonwoo asleep in my Blood Demon Sword. The rope of blood more intricate than Truth-seeker of Bloodpletely sealed off the might of battle priests. I was not nning on showing this to the allies, but their reaction ended up being more positive than my expectation. Perhaps it was because it came from an item. This could be called an aplishment of Soul Ego. DHow absurd. To use this great self in such manner instead of battles. I agreed. I never thought that Id use the Soul Egos powers like this. Truthfully, when they said that it was an ambush, I thought Id get to use Soul Ego. But that did not happen. None of the enemies were of my caliber and they were all idiots drunk in their powers. It wouldve been nice to be able to at least get some references like the time I faced Nam GungHyuk. Because this was full of those drunk in the power of divinity, there was nothing that I could use. D I suppose, its eptable that you massacred every enemy. If you were a part of the murim dimension, youd make an excellent criminal or a demonic practitioner. What a shame. I realized something fascinating while hearing him talk. A shallow stream of mana was emitting from the Blood Demon Sword like a thread. However, this strange stream of mana was spreading only towards me. Outside of this path no amount of mana leaked out. .is this what he meant by Advanced Stealthmunication? At that, I managed to figure out the method of using Advanced Stealthmunication that Dam Cheonwoo spoke about. DWere you talking about transfer of audio through controlling mana as Advanced Stealthmunication? After sending out the mana through the mana circuit, an immediate reaction followed. DWha, what on earth? Did you learn how to Advanced Stealthmunication in that short amount of time? Dam Cheonwoo was stupefied as if he never thought that Id learn the Advanced Stealthmunication method. DOther than the fact that you create a path using mana wavelength and send out a voice in that path, its not like theres a special system to it. I could not understand the reason for his reaction. DNo, of course its a simple system in itself.. But. thats impossible. A brat who doesnt know how to use Stealthmunication learns it on their own? Its not like someone taught them either. DItd be even weirder for someone who knew how to control their mana to not learn it. As long as you can manipte mana, you should be able to do this easily. D Following that logic of yours, then over half of the martial artists born and raised from Murim bes an idiot. DForget it. Its not that important. I said it just to avoid the topic but Dam Cheonwoo reacted positively. DHeh! As expected! The one who can summon this great ones soul must be a genius indeed! Who else could sumon me? Hmph, you said right. It was quite ridiculous that the direction he took was praising himself.. DYan. This great one needs more rest. Call me when you need meter. I will be biding my time until then. Since this soul ego that seemed to have an. Atypical mind was quite useful, I did not bother reprimanding him. During the conversation the chaotic battlefield was settled and a priest wearing a ck robe approached me. The archbishop seeking an audience with you. Please follow me. Perhaps they saw my battle, as their voice was trembling. I-it will be about yourpensation so it would be beneficial for you toe with me. And their manner of speech had a strong vibe of pleading so I followed suit. Understood. After following the apprentice priest, arge ck tent appeared before me. Once entering, a thin sickly looking man greeted me. ughterer, many thanks for your cooperation. Please, sit wherever yourefortable. There were two chairs across the desk he sat on, so I chose a random one to sit on. No need to address me with that title of ughterer. Please, call me by my name. Unfortunately, when the church of dark does not write down the names of hired mercs unless they are a higher ranking mercenary. Then please address me as unnamed. Heh, naming yourself as unnamed. What an interesting fellow you are. Im sure that the god of dark would surely favor a man like you. Thank you for your kind words. It was a formal response without an ounce of sincerity, but the archbishop seemed to be satisfied with that. The man wore a small smile and continued. Unnamed. Do you know that I called you here in order to discuss yourpensation? I briefly heard about it from the apprentice priest who led me here. Correct. Under the condition that you will not leave the frontlines until the Holy War is over. I have no intention to do that. Lets get to the point. With my authority, I have decided to give you the relic of the church as yourpensation. He spoke as if I was being given a huge reward, but I had no idea what relics were. Sorry, but can you exin what relics are? So when I honestly asked if he could exin what it is, the archbishop nodded with a bewildered face. I never thought that youd not know what relics are, but Ill exin. Relics are items of miracle containing the power of gods. Power of gods. Because it has divine powers in it, you can use one of the powers through the relic. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are never allowed to have one.. Is it because its a wartime, a holy war, and my achievements? Correct. Ill get right to the point since you already know. A sh of merchants aura briefly passed through the archbishops eyes. Tell me thepensation that youre expecting. It was a typical bargaining process, but it worked. And since I just mentioned that I do not know what relics are, it was a bargaining tactic to ask me what my expectations are first. Since they could potentially use me while underpaying me. Then let me ask you instead. But he chose the wrong target. They most likely assumed that theyd have the upper hand with my ignorance on relics.. What do you expect to pay me? But this situation was actually in reverse. The one with things to lose was not me. Activating skill Absolute Charm. Archbishop Keinel has fallen under the abnormal status [Fear]. Under the influence of abnormal status [Fear], they will have their judgment lowered and will greatly recognize your existence. Id hope to get wellpensated you see. How much hed have to pay me to convince me. The Archbishop would have to think deeply starting now. [To be continued.] Chapter 137: Chapter 137:
After much deliberation, the archbishop ended up awarding me with the top ranked relic. He was crying tears of blood handing it to me seemingly desperate to be unseparated from it However, his desperation to achieve victory in the holy war won over and he ended up handing the relic over quite quickly. I only received two items so I was a bit let down, but I took that sentiment back after I looked them over with the Fire Dragons eyes. After all.. Seal of Tribute Rank : SS- A ck seal bestowed upon the archbishop that sacrificed everything to the god of dark. Once the seal is stamped on the back of the hand, the exclusive effect Tribute can be applied. When the exclusive effect is applied on the back of the hand, the item will be instilled inside the seal on the hand and disappear. However, the item will disappear once the challenger Han SungYeun leaves the 15th floors trial area. The Night Veil that Devours Fire Rank : SS- The gods veil that swallowed up the fire of the beginning into the darkness. When the possessor dies, the Night Veil will activate. When the exclusive effect Night Veil activates, the possessors divine powers are exhausted to revive the possessor. When the exclusive effect Night Veil activates, the possessor will enter a state of Discipleship. When the exclusive effect Night Veil activates, after the revival, the item will disappear. However, the item will disappear once the challenger Han SungYeun leaves the 15th floors trial area. The unsightly ck seal and simple ck handkerchief were beyond my imagination. What the. Looking at the relics hidden descriptions through the Fire Dragons eyes, it looked like these items could not leave the 15th floor But these SS- ranked items have never been seen before. Furthermore, the night veil had a simr effect as the Last Stand. Revival effect. Although its different from thest stand which nullifies the critical attack.. It was a huge merit to be able to revive from death using the divine powers. After all, I still had a few more days of cooldown to use thest stand due to the battle with Nam GungHyuk. Even if its limited to the 15th floor, its a good item. As long as weak opponents continued toe until the end of this floors trial, I would have no use for it. However, in the case of unprecedented events, itd be best to have it just in case. ..I-its the finest relics of our church. Please take care of it. I quickly stored the relics that the archbishop handed out with trembling hands. Once I put away the relics in the dimensional pocket, the archbishop let out a deep sigh. .phew. The holy war has only begun. I hope that youll properly fight with what youve received. Ill do my best. Dont worry. If you run away, the god of dark will punish you. Remember it. Of course, how can a mere human run away after receiving the relics? Half of it was truth and half of it was a lie. I will not run away since Ive received the relics, and since its a world inside the trial, there is nowhere to run either.. But I did not believe that nonsense about the god punishing me. After all, Even the god of battle that opposed me could only manage to send me a few messages. Even if its possible to oppose me by using other challengers, its difficult for the god to personally curse me. Under the protection of the tower, even a god-like entity could not touch me. Then I will take my leave. I spoke while standing up from the chair. . understood. Unnamed, I hope you can get rest until the next battle. The archbishop bid farewell with a grim face. Although I knew that they were an existence created by the tower, I felt pity. Well, its not like I felt bad enough to return the relics. Since I definitely deserved such relics after managing to defeat over a thousand enemies. And I nned on continuing to perform as such in this holy war. And I doubt that this 15th trial will end smoothly. I had no reason to not have these relics as a type of insurance. After all, the towers always bestow trials that are difficult to clear. Once I exited the tent, the mercenary I saw a few times approached me. Ah, Mr. Swordsman! Did you have a good talk with the archbishop? It was Reinel Asir. I smiled while looking at her to speak. You looked so determined when you told me that youd buy me drinks if we survived, and yet you dont have a single injury on you. Ahaha. I got lucky and now Im on the bodyguard duty for the archbishop. Reinel spoke whileughing and I stopped myughs to bring up the main topic. Anyways, you seemed like you were waiting for me. Did you want to talk to me about something? Ah.. uh, hm. You know, as I mentioned before I wanted to buy you a drink.. Thanks for the sentiment, but Ill have to decline. I immediately declined the offer she brought out hesitantly. I did not drink often. Nor did I n on drinking. I avoided anything that will affect the body negatively whether it be alcohol or cigarettes. It was one of the habits that formed while trying to be a hunter for 7 years. And my body no longer resembles a normal human. If an alcohol I could get drunk off of existed in this world, that could easily be called a fatal poison. But, Reinel who did not know that became sad. Ah, Im sorry.. I was rude. Please forget about it. I thought about clearing up the misunderstanding, but decided that it was unnecessary. After clearing the special assignment, through Reinels existence, themand system got established, and the fighting spirits of the allied forces doubled. Its best to draw the line here. It was not good to give too much emotion to a being created by the tower either. Then I will take my leave. I politely told Reinel and returned back to my personal tent. Since my treatment from the allies wasnt great, instead of surveying the surroundings, it was better to prepare for the uing battle. Its the perfect opportunity to organize the items I got from the UK hunters association. I smiled with the dimensional pocket on my hand. Now I can finally calcte my earnings. It was time to go through my rewards. ?- -? There were a lot of items inside the dimensional pocket. From multiple rare items from the tower. To skill proficiency potions and random skills books. I sure got a lot. I felt a prick on my conscience as I got them from saying that they were meant to be offerings to a god, but I felt very little guilt. After all, I did more for the UK hunters association than what I received. I prevented the death of countless challengers and subjugated an ambusher that tried to destroy the entirety of Ennd. If I didnt manage to kill Seindal in London, Ennd as we know it mightve been erased from the map. Therefore, this much reward was appropriate. Looks like everything from earth is out now. After disying all the items from the UK hunters association on the table, I got light headed. From shining gems, multiple weapons, and countless consumables that are difficult to get. However, most items were useless and low ranked. To the point it deserved to be thrown on the side of the road. Of course, that was to my standards and it could actually be useful to other challengers. What was certain was that none of these could be used in an actual battle for me. Not considering the skill proficiency potions and random skills book. ..These additional rewards arent great either. But luckily, I managed to acquire a skill that could help me get rid of these useless items. Munch! Activating skill Steel Eat. Among the items on the desk, I chose a sky blue colored wand and bit on it like a cookie. Besides the fact that I have high stats, for some reason, the moment the wand went inside my mouth, it crumbled as if it was disintegrating. This is rather nice. Well, other than the fact that the texture became nice, it had absolutely no vor whatsoever To be honest, I expected that it wouldve tasted like metal. So I considered this to be another positives of this skill. Youve consumed the item Steel Cloud Staff. <00:09:59> Untilplete consumption. A message appeared once I finished swallowing thest of the wand. So this is what it meant by after a certain period of time. The effect did not immediately appear but rather after a certain waiting time. I knew about it since Ive read the effects, but it was bothersome to have a waiting period. Consumptionpleted. + 1 on mana stats. However, that thought immediately vanished at the message that popped up after 10 minutes. it raised it by this much? The stats that reached a three digit number no longer increased regardless of how much souls ive consumed. But with a single item, the stats were raised by an entire number. What kind of crazy skill is this? I felt joy at that and swallowed the jade colored gem. Youve consumed the item Celestial Steel Jewel. <00:09:59> Untilplete consumption. And Consumptionpleted. Your constitution is changed from consuming steel. Expelling 0.8% of toxic energy within the body. And with the following message, I felt a foreign object on my throat. Cough, Cough! After coughing out with a hand over my mouth, a ck thick liquid covered the palm of my hand. And what is this. Toxic energy? I seem to have expelled an unexinable substance, but my body felt lighter than before. I was still clueless as to what this toxic energy was and what this ck liquid was. But one thing was for certain. ..It said that my constitution will be changed, so it must be improving somehow. This change of constitution would not harm me. I continued on to consume a few more useless metal items from the desk. After eating about 8 or so more items, a new message popped up. Youve consumed more than 8 steel items. You can no longer have a waiting period for the item consumption. <01:19:47> Untilplete consumption. It seemed that there was a limit to how many items you could consume at a time. Of course, this was nothingpared to the benefits the skills brought. At this point, itd be weirder to be able to exchange the consumed items into a waiting period. Following this, I took out the relics from the dimensional pocket. I had nothing to concern myself over the The Night Veil that Devours Fire since it will naturally activate at my death. But the Seal of Tribute was a different story. This item could apply an exclusive effect called Tribute. And after the seal applied through the exclusive effect, the item would imbue itself to the seal and disappear. To summarize, it could be an item that can leave the 15th floor. It definitely has a value. Once I pressed the ck seal looking relic on the top of my left hand, a message popped out. The exclusive effect of item Seal of Tribute(SS-), Tribute is sealed on your hand. The item will disappear after being absorbed by the seal on the hand. Drip. The ck seal disintegrated as if it was melting and a ck seal appeared on the back of my hand. A seal made up of very tiny words forming into a wolf. I was still unsure of what ability this item had and what changes it would bring forth. However, one thing was certain from the messages. The seal on the hand will never disappear. That I reaped something better than I expected from this 15th trial. [To be continued.] Chapter 138: Chapter 138:
It was the moment the ck seal was engraved on the back of my hand. Administrator First Dragon yer Born in a Thousand Years is struck with great fear upon seeing the seal! Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is shouting why the seal of tribute is being used! Administrator Seeker of Divinity isining to the tower that giving the seal is a overkill! The previously silent administrators started an uproar all of a sudden. Other than a few minor messages, theyve not shown too much reaction until now. After using the seal of tribute, the amount of messages from the administrators increased. Administrator Ruler of the Sky is strongly protesting against the tower! Administrator Monk of Seven Gods is freaking out eximing what are you thinking?! Administrator Hero of the ck Archipgo is requesting to at least take away the The Night Veil that Devours Fire! Even the administrators that rarely showed up started to cause chaos. And seeing their messages I found it odd. Are these supposed to be not for use? All the administrators were acting as if these items were not meant to be used. Whether it be the Seal of Tribute of The Night Veil that Devours Fire, Im not supposed to possess it at all. Why? These items being that of SS- rank was astonishing in itself, but the reactions of the administrators were definitely exaggerated. They were speaking as if the tower had given me an item that should not be given out. Just what are these relics for their reactions to be this strong? So I opened my mouth to ask them about these relics But.. Youve witnessed a leak of unauthorized information. Messages of administrators are temporarily blocked. With the messages blocked, I couldnt even ask them about it. The tower of trials are warning the administrators. Witnessing the trials of challenger Han SungYeun will be banned if unauthorized information is continued to be leaked. One thing that was certain was that this current situation was not normal. . I opened my eyes narrowly looking at the message mid air. At least the relic is an item that not even administrators can treat carelessly. At first I thought that it was just an item with divine powers But there might be more to this than it meets the eyes. Ill have to use it myself to figure it out. And immediately, I concentrated on the seal on my left hand. And Activating the exclusive effect of the item Seal of Tribute (SS-), Tribute. You can choose to make an offering among the [Talent], [Ability], [Treasure] that you possess. I pondered on the options shown in the message. I did presume its effects but to have it really be an exclusive effect of making an offering. I wondered if it was okay to make an offering to a god that could potentially be my enemy, but its not like there were other options. Youve selected [Treasure] as an offering to god. Select a [Treasure] to offer. I chose one of the items that I was going to use on Steel Eat. Youve selected the Small Magicians Staff(D+). Please choose the god to make the offering to. But something went off. Error. No traces of god can be found on the divine powers. As a holder of individual divine powers, you can make an offering to yourself. An error message popped up and instead of the message asking me to choose a god, something else came up. Youve received an offering of Small Magicians Staff(D+) from yourself. Converting the item into divinity to umte in the heart. The item chosen to be the offering disappeared and the divine powers in my heart increased. What on earth.. Of course it was not enough to raise the rank of divine powers, but the power definitely increased. How absurd. To make an offering to myself.. I was unsure of this situation, but one thing was for certain. I got a new method of increasing my divine powers. Unlike before, with no way of increasing my divine powers, I now could increase it through my own methods. It was different from increasing divine powers through meeting a standard. It was rather important that I had a way to personally increase my divine powers. The only issue was that I had nowhere to use the divine powers at the moment. But, they could be used in the future once I umte enough myths. This is the only thing left The Night Veil that Devours Fire. I wondered on what to do with this relic and ended up putting it inside my pockets. Since it was in the form of a handkerchief there was no need to get it equipped, and it would automatically get activated during dangerous situations when kept on me. Of course, itd be the best to not be in such situations, but life never goes the way you want it to so it is best to be ready for anything. Furthermore.. The tower never gives these out without a reason. The tower gave me an item that the administrators protested against. One thing that I realized was that the tower never has goodwill without a reason. That was an absolute fact. Im sure that Ill have to use it. I will not let my guard down until the very end. ?- -? One day, two days, three days.. Time flowed smoothly and I went through multiple battles within it. All battles have attained victory, and the allied forces eventually took on the offensive tactics. With me active in every battle, they began to think that the allied forces had the upper hand. To be honest, itd be quite risky without my contribution but thered be no need to say that out loud. After clearing the special assignment object of admiration the battle formation of allied forces improved. As well as the skills of the priests increased. The corpses acquired after multiple battles added on to the number of the allied forces. Furthermore. Consumptionpleted. Strength increased by 4. Stamina increased by 1. Agility increased by 2. Tenacity increased by 4. Expelling 0.8% of toxic energy within the body. With continuous consumption of steel, my constitution changed more. Now I have an idea of what the toxic energy is. Any impure substances that Ive umted before I became a yer are categorized as toxic energy. And the effects from expelling these toxins were quite simple. It became easier to use mana. But, perhaps because Ive absorbed impure energy for too long and I have too much toxic energy in my body, It would take a long time to get rid of it all. Even if I have absorbed many items, only a total of 8.8% of the toxic energy was expelled. Im sure time will solve that. I muttered, flicking the blood away from both of my swords in the middle of the battlefield. The battlefield of the 4th day of the holy war felt like my own house. The enemies started to run away once their battle formation was broken from hundreds of their men being defeated. DR,Run away! Its the ughterer! Were all going to die at this rate! DU-ugggh! Dear god! Why do monsters like him exist? DDamn it all! The filthy corpse priests summoned a devil! Hearing the fearful screams made me scoff. Just a few days ago, I was ready to die at least once.. Even after some time, the enemies continued to drop like flies. Was I worrying for nothing? At this rate, the trial will end without an issue. After another round of killing the enemies, I realized again of how much Ive grown. After all, if Nam GungHyuk did not swoop in before me, the 14th floor couldve been easily cleared by me. Did I worry for no reason? It was the moment I let down my guard. ? The mana surrounding the area started to move unnaturally. I was momentarily surprised at the mana suddenly shooting up to the sky. I raised my head to look at the sky with a purple mana circle. Despite myck of knowledge on mana, it seemed extraordinary. Are they nning to shower mana from the sky? It seemed likely. At this point, the priests of the battle cult mostly retreated from the battlefield. It wouldnt be surprising for them to do arge area attack using a mana circle. Its bothersome, but I can block it. I looked towards the sky while quickly getting ready to activate the Counter Shield. But unlike my expectations, the mana circle did not shoot out an area attack. D The church of dark dares to attack the cult of battle? You must be seeking death. Only a man with pure white wings appeared from the circle. I felt a shiver run down my spine at that echoing voice filled with divine powers. D The god of battle is merciful, thus will grant your wish. My instincts were ring an rm telling me that its dangerous. As if something uncontroble appeared in this ce DConsider it an honor! You dogs serving the god of dark! And D the god will personally deliver punishment to the wicked! With that sentence, a crimson ring appeared by the mans head. Crash! And an unbearable presence descended into the man. Ba-bump, Ba-bump. My heart felt pressure as if I saw something I was not worthy of seeing. Ah, this. I know this feeling.. The pressure that Ive experienced before slowed my thoughts. The god of battle consumes arge quantity of divine powers to attempt an iplete . Under the , some myths and powers in gods possession can not be used properly. Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevia is under and can not use divine powers properly. The difficulty of individual trial of challenger Han SungYeun increases drastically. I realized looking at the continuous messages that covered my sight. The tower of trials deemed it as a difficulty that the challenger Han SungYeun can handle. The trial will continue. That the tower never gives out favors without a reason. If I was given a relic that can revive me, then there is a reason for it. And in this insane tower of trials, no matter how much you grow, safety is never guaranteed. [ I can finally kill the insolent dog of the tower myself.] How long could I resist the reserve disciple with the advent of a god-like entity? A momentary thought, but the answer was given shortly. [ Die. me yourself for daring to look upon the authority of gods.] Crash! You died. I was killed even before I could resist. And I knew the moment that my heart was pierced. How much stronger a mere human had to grow in order to fight against a god. And Activating the exclusive effect of item The Night Veil that Devours Fire(SS-), Night Veil. Momentarily reviving after using The Night Veil that Devours Fire. Entering the state of Discipleship after using The Night Veil that Devours Fire. The reason why the administrators were yelling to retrieve the relic. The god of dark is looking at you with a smile. The god of dark is permitting you to use the blessings of discipleship. The darkness with authority swallowed me up. [To be continued.] Chapter 139: Chapter 139:
What I saw after opening my eyes was an endless darkness. But it did not feel repulsive nor intimidating. It felt as if my body was submerged under warm water and felt ratherforting. . After a momentary observation of the darkness, my thoughts came back to me. And realized. I see. Ive. Died. Ive died once and went into a waiting period until revival. This must be a short session of the so-called life shing before ones eyes before death. Perhaps it could be what The Night Veil that Devours Fire caused. Regardless of what it was, I had no intention of staying there any longer. Lets wake up. And fight with all Ive got. I have not used everything Ive got yet. My myths were unactivated, multiple skills and powers were yet to be used. I havent lost yet. Its small, but I do have a probability of winning. But spending more time here might result in something unexpected. I had to quickly gather my thoughts and get back to the battlefield. This is a visualization of my imagery in the first ce. If I concentrate hard enough, I should be able to leave this ce. Ive done it back on the 11th floor so it shouldnt be difficult to do so. After concentrating using my fighting spirit, a sword appeared in the ck space. It was a type of switch. Like the ce of imagery from the 11th floor, if I were to grab that sword, I should be able to get back to reality. No one has taught me as such, but it was something Ive learned over time. It was cool that it worked just by concentrating, but that was it. ..i should immediately activate the counter shield after getting back, activate the and look for an opportunity, I came up with battle strategies while moving towards the sword. ..Rather, I attempted to move towards it. [ Fufu, attempting to leave alone. What an impatient child. ] Until I felt something squishy on my back. What is this! After realizing that someone was hugging me from the back, I immediately got out of their grasp. I got goosebumps. Even if this was a ce of imagery, I had my senses on high alert. It was a habit from continuing to use skills to have maximum perception. But to not realize that someone was hugging me from behind I began to think quickly with raised alertness. Who is it? God of battle? No, perhaps the god of proof? What is..; Just who was it to appear in my ce of imagery and the reason behind their appearance? Before I could continue my thoughts, the person spoke. [ Theres no need to fear me. Child, I am not your enemy.] And You. After getting out of their hold, I turned my head to see the other person. Their face were concealed behind a ck robe. But seeing the clearly revealing curves, and their gentle manner of speaking, I could tell that it was a woman. But that was the extent of it. Just with the current information, there was no way to figure out who this person was. Who are you? So I asked directly, to which the woman answered. [Even if this situation is a replica, youve participated in a holy war for me, and yet you cant recognize me. How disheartening. ] Are you the god of dark by chance? [ Fufu, youre correct. You got it faster than I expected. Good, good. How smart you are. ] Please dont touch me. I avoided the arms that the god of dark raised as if to praise me. Even if this is a ce of imagery, it was another form of battlefield. If I die here, my mind might be destroyed. Furthermore, for some reason, most gods were hostile towards me. Without knowing their intentions, I had no ns on going along with them. [ Right, its not the correct time yet. But you will soon know, that I am not your enemy.] The god of dark said while snickering then started to step backwards. [ The tower is bothering me, so I will take my leave. Child, I hope that youll entertain me with the powers Ive lent you. ] A whisper of her voice rang out once her figure almost disappeared . [ The moment you open your eyes, everything surrounding you will change. ] Before I could question them, the god of darkpletely concealed their presence. Just what were they talking about, and the reason for their presence in front of me. However, my corpse must be rolling around the battlefield as we spoke. I have no time to be doing this. After that thought, I perished the god of dark from my mind to grasp the sword. And Youve revived. I realized seeing the darkness surrounding my body after opening my eyes. Sessfully entered the State of Discipleship. The presence of potential of discipleship is greatly moving to reveal its presence. From now on, the divine powers within the heart will have the affinity of death. The traces of god engraved in challenger Han SungYeun willpletely disappear. Why the god of dark told me that everything will change when I open my eyes. Challenger Han SungYeun will be epted as a divine affinity during the duration of the state of discipleship. Temporary demonstration of authority will be permitted under the keyword divinity Keywords of divinity will be , , and . With a satisfaction zing my mind, my sight soon settled into darkness. ?- -? Gerhan Nevia was one of the warriors from the Twin Winged Kin also referred to as angels. Until they became a reserve disciple of the cult of battle, theyve never lost a battle. And possessed great might to the point of never having the word defeat be a part of their thought process. After battles with countless priests, until the moment they became a reserve disciple, theyve never thought of being defeated or being tired. But at this moment, Gerhan couldnt help but to be weak. DC,cough Urghh. Cough. D,Damn it all. I cant breathe. Gerhan breathed heavily while grasping over their heart. The divine powers from the god of battle went wild and pained them. It was an issue that arose from attempting with a reserved disciple instead of an official one.. A,as expected. So this is the power that our god of battle possesses... The duration the god of dark descended into Gerhans body was very short. And even that sh of energy before Gerhans death was not at full power. But that minor attack caused Gerhans body to bepletely unusable. If it was a different reserve disciple, their heart wouldve exploded immediately. The only reason why Gerhan was alive was due to their innate body of warrior. But with this, I received the blessing of god, and my divine powers also got stronger. While Gerhan attempted to not fall from the air, they enjoyed the side effects of . As if it was a reward of surviving, they managed to acquire great power. The number of powers they could use increased, and the divine powers were akin to an official priests as well.. After the pain, Gerhan looked down to the ground with an expression of superiority and spoke. .. Henceforth, the strongest being under the heavens will be me. That they will be the strongest excluding the gods. And The god of battle is telling the reserve priest Gerhan to stop the bullshit and get ready for battle! Right after speaking, Gerhan saw a message that popped up at the corner of their sight. Gerhan let out a scoff seeing the message with a sign of haste as if being chased by something. DYou have nothing to worry about. That man called the ughterer has been taken care of, so the church of dark is nothi At that moment. Rumble! A loud noise erupted from the ground and the mana within the air started to vibrate violently. Even Gerhan, strengthened from the side effect of , was at an alert . Gerhan looked down to the ground, astonished. DWhat. What on earth is. The ground was nowpletely enveloped with darkness. Seeing the darkness that swallowed up the shadow of sunset, Gerhan eximed. DThe god of dark is descending here as well? No way! I thought there were no disciples here! That onlysted a moment. The darkness that swallowed up the earth receded into a single point. And in the ce the darkness disappeared into, remained a figure surrounded by darkness. [ . ] It was a cluster of ominous energy so eerie you could lose your life just by witnessing it. Gerhan shook off the feeling from using their divine powers and looked directly towards the dark energy. Damn it. What is that? Why cant it be seen? No matter how much Gerhan tried to see through its nature, the view was unclear. But Gerhan figured it out eventually. That the ck energy was a great entity, but not a divine being. If it had divinity within it, it wouldnt take this long to make its appearance. is the appearance of divine entities within a very short period of time. And it was impossible to prolong it unless it was okay for the vessel of divine entity to die. DAs long as its not the god of dark, its not a problem. There will be nothing else here that can oppose me. Gerhan opened up their hands to manifest a crimson spear. All fear disappeared after using gods power that they never could use. DIll make sure you pay the price of opposing the authority of gods. Gerhan threw the spear with a bloodthirsty expression. The long spear created by the authority of god traveled towards the ground with an explosive sound. The dark figure stood still at its original ce. In the end, it was just a shy entity with nothing to show. Gerhan smiled in victory. With this, that ck entity will die from being pierced by the spear. It was an irreversible ending, is what Gerhan thought. But [ Swallow it. ] The situation changed within a blink of an eye. The moment the dark entity spoke, the holy spear that shed towards the ground stopped mid-air. Stopped by an unrecognizable ck energy. And then the ck energy started to consume the holy spear. The newly acquired divine authority disappeared just like that. Gerhan eximed dumbfoundedly at that scene. DHuh? uh, uhhh? And [ Ah, You. ] The entity surrounded by endless darkness spoke looking towards Gerhan. [ Right, I remember now. You were, an enemy of mine.] It was iprehensible. But there was no need for Gerhan to understand it. Since that was not something that was said to Gerhan, but rather a type of amand. [ Die. ] sh! Gerhans body split in half with a fountain of blood bursting out. [To be continued.] Chapter 140: Chapter 140:
The state of discipleship. The state in which I entered with the exclusive effect of the relic was truly divine. To tell the truth, my sight disappeared for a second and I couldnt not retain my thoughts. It was because a wave of overwhelming pleasure washed over me. As if it denied my previous existence, an absolute delight dominated my body. It was not a type of mental contamination, but rather being moved by myself. Ascending into the ruler of the heavens from a mere insect of the ground. The instinct acquired understanding. Just from speaking, every nature will obey mymand. If Imand it to kill, it will kill; if Imand it to save, it will save; if Imand it to cut, it will cut. After understanding the divine ability, it was almost as if my mind got reset. Why I chose to fight, why I desired strength, why I went against oppression. I didnt know anything. The feeling erases everything. I just desired to get drunk at this moment and enjoy this feeling of being above everything else, believing in myself. But a sh of unforgettable memory went by my mind. The city demolished by the dungeon break. I have to. Get it together.. Followed by memories of my deceased parents, my senses came back to me. I cant end it like this. My memories of those contempt filled looks reyed and my thoughts slowly drifted back into me. Why I chose to fight, why I desired strength, and why I went against oppression. I could remember now. And DWin, win again, and win against them all. And prove that your path is correct without regrets.. I remembered the final will of the martial artist of the 11th floors trials. Would I be able to say that my path was correct after being consumed by this feeling? I could not. This was but a momentary sensation, and it was not my own feelings either. This is a power that the relic, the god of dark, allowed me to have momentarily. And it was not like I actually became a divine entity either. The systembeled me as divine affinity. Which meant that I did not reach strong enough divinitypared to the god of battle nor god of dark. Thus a fake. I was not strong enough, and this wave of moving sensation could crumble any moment. Furthermore, if the god of dark did not permit me to enter the state of discipleship, I could never reach this point. Of course, I do not believe that kills or powers are fake, unlike Nam GungHyuk. But powers that I myself can not control can not be called real. Especially if the powers are controlled by other entities. Strongly activating the power, Calm. After recovering some of my mind, the power of calm activated and my feelings settled down. I realized how much of a delusion it was after waking up from the haze akin to being drunk. .I barely reached the divine affinity too. All this is that I got a few more decent powers. After analyzing the understanding of my instinct, the state of discipleship was not as grand as real divinity. Only that it can affect the nature surrounding you like Nam GungHyuks Sword Aura. ..Im not even sure why it moved me that much now. Since it only added a few more decent powers I could use, it couldnt even be called divinity. Its true that I got stronger than before though. Right now, I could not use divine powers properly due to being in the state of discipleship. Its supposed to be unauthorized power, but now at the state of discipleship, it became a different story. I should be able to manipte the mana of nature like Nam GungHyuk.. If I were to estimate the range, it would be around 70 meters. Well, it should be better than that lousy Sword Aura that he used. But I had no time to enjoy the state of discipleship. State of Discipleship ending in <00:12:47>. This state urred through the exclusive effect of the relic. Thus it had a time limit. At that moment. DIll make sure you pay the price of opposing the authority of gods. A voice filled with divine powers rang out from the sky and something got thrown at me. Activating skill Fire Dragons eyes. I could analyze it without looking at it thanks to the skill. And after a momentary pondering on what to do, I decided to simply stop it. [ Swallow it. ] I did not use divine powers. After all, I used up all my divine powers and I was in the process of producing it by refining my mana. This was another method of skills I acquired from achieving the state of discipleship, but I did not really know how it worked. I did it because I thought I could, and it disintegrated the mana within the body to the extreme and converted it to divine powers. And while umting divine powers like that, I told the mana surrounding me to stop the spear and it obeyed mymand. Using divinity . The darkness is swallowing up the specified target. DHuh? uh, uhhh? The surrounding mana tinted with the darkness grasped the holy spear thrown at me. [ Ah, You. ] After turning my head towards the dumbfounded voice, I could face the man named Gerhan as told by the system. At that, I felt my hazy memorye back. [ Right, I remember now. You were, an enemy of mine.] Without holding back, I used up all the divine powers stored in my heart to make amand without hesitation. [ Die. ] And Using divinity . The potential of the grim reaper reacts to reinforce the affinity of death within the divine power. sh! The surrounding mana formed into a single attack and halved Gerhans body. It might seem like I did something grand, but the truth is, even if Gerhan was not in a state of discipleship, they couldve been killed quite easily. They can easily be killed using a Light Saber. But the issue was the god of battle who descended with . Even if they cant use the actual powers of divinity, that single attack that they showed was beyond logic. Of course, right now, they are no longer under so there was nothing to worry about. But theres no way that lunatic of a god would end things here. I did not believe that the god of battle dispelled and leftpletely. truthfully. [ Damned thing. And here I was trying to not kill my reserve disciple despite descending. ] Gerhans corpse that was split in half reattached itself into one mid air. It would seem like a revival going against the flow of nature, but it was merely attaching the corpse back together. In the voice filled with divinity, I could predict that the was urring again. Of course, the god of battle used at the cost of an extraordinary amount of divine powers.. [ I will kill you with everything I got now. ] I wasnt nning on getting killed so easily either. ?- -? Activating skill Indomitable. To tell the truth, battles were disadvantageous to me at the state of discipleship. Activating the myth . +18 on every stat. Activating special buff . Additional +18 on every stat. After all, Even if I was in the state of discipleship, I did not be a divine being myself, and other than the fact that the number of using divine powers increased, nothing else changed. It is true that I got additional abilities. But even if all those abilities gotbined, its not like I could win a losing battle. Using Divinity . ignoring regeneration impossible messages and immediate death messages. Crash! The sh from the god of battle erged and destroyed my left arm. But, with the divine keyword of state of discipleship, the temporary ability disregarded the verdict of regeneration impossible. Activating skill Ashy Blood. But that did not mean that I could act rashly. [I will cut you until you can no longer regenerate! ] Because the god of battle descended into the corpse shot out beams of light. Bzzzt! To be honest, its power was on the weaker side of the light attacks from the counter shield. But the issue was that they were able to use that attack without a dy unconditionally. Damn it, avoiding it is going to be a pain. Even at the state of discipleship, my stamina was not immense. If I continued to activate Ashy Blood repeatedly, I will reach the limits shortly. The god of battle prevented me from regaining my stamina and mana through absorbing the blood sttered on the battlefield. [ Do you think that Ill let you do that?! ] I frowned seeing the blood get destroyed with rays of light I cant even go with attrition warfare anymore. I wanted to replenish more blood, but no priests from the cult of battle could be seen. As well as the church of dark. They mustve realized their situation and rank for it to not be swept up. .. The issue was that I myself was also one that shouldve ran. There were about two methods to get out of this situation. The first was to break the corpse that the god of battle descended upon. Its not certain, but they must be under advent at the cost of an extraordinary quantity of divine powers. And if I could harm the corpse one more time, the could be impossible to ur. But this is hard to do realistically. The second method was to wait until the divine powers being offered to the tower runs out. Ive seen a message before that the god of proof has spent a sum of divine powers just to talk to me. Which meant that the god of battle was also spending arge amount of divine powers. If I could buy enough time to deactivate and make the god retire, it could solve everything. But this is also impossible because of the limited time with the state of discipleship. I checked the time left at the corner of my sight. State of Discipleship ending in <00:09:11>. Regardless of which option I chose, both had a high probability to end in a disaster. But it was good to try something at least. Ill make them unable to keep the state of . I chose the former option to do my best to destroy the vessel of . And DDam Cheonwoo, wake up. Were both about to die. I sent a stealthmunication towards the sword and brought forth the consciousness resting deep within the space. DHahaha! Hath the time of battleeth?! Tis been eons! Tis the time for this great one to.? He mustve realized the situation while yelling out loudly since he began to shout in dismay. Dwhat on earth? W-what on earth?! Why hath the level of the trial gone up?! And who is that lunatic of a god to descend into the trials of the 10th floors?! DIts too long to exin. Ill be direct. Please use every supportive ability that you have on me. D this is not something that can be solved from.! W-wait. Have you. Are you in the state of discipleship?! DSo you know about it. Well, it just ended up happening this way. D What kind of situation is this. Its not like the state of discipleship ismon either for a challenger of mid level 10s trial floor to achieve it.. Damn it. Dam Cheonwoo muttered as if all reason escaped him and then spoke in a determined voice. DFine! This great one wont back down as the Blood Demon! This great one will give you support! Activating the True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s Soul Ego skill . Increasing the mana within the body. Activating the True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s Soul Ego skill . elerating the thoughts. Activating the True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s Soul Ego skill . An artificial mana facility that supports the movement of mana is created. The durability of the True Blood Demon Sword will decrease by 0.4% every second. The True Blood Demon Swords soul ego could be destroyed. All the skills activated by the blood demon sword affected every part of my body. Damn Cheonwoo started to support me at the risk of self-destruction. So these are what Dam Cheonwoo can do for me. Ive never received the supports of Dam Cheonwoo with sincerity until now. But now I realized. That the ability of the soul ego imbued in the blood demon sword was beyond my expectation. Excellent. Having added on top of the mind already on alert from the battle, made time flow slowly from concentration. A state in which the world began to feel as if it had stopped for me. And using the increased perception made it possible to manipte mana and divine power more fluidly. The sword me surrounding the de flickered stronger than before, and the effects of the myths became stronger. Furthermore, the mana within the body got strengthened through the After deciding that this could create potentials, I concentrated my will and activated the Sky Break on top of the sword me. Activating skill Sky Break. The limit on breakable things are dispelled. The skill that can destroy mana itself, and can break anything without a limit, covered the de. But it did not end here. Using Divinity . An unavoidable death is imbued within the sword.. The sword became more violent after being added with the energy of death from using divinity. Theoretically, this was not the best of my skills, but in this battlefield, it was. After concentrating, I red at the god of battle and swung my sword. [ Hahaha! Do you think that ill get hit from that obvious attack?! You shouldve used the mana of nature instead!] God of Battle mocked me and attempted to tilt their body to avoid the sh, but.. White Sword Ind Sun. The de contained a strong will and started to pull the god of battle onto the path of the sword. Furthermore, this attack was strengthened by divinity so it was stronger than the usual. [ Kuh!? What is! ] The god of battle let out divine powers to rip out a space to escape, but it was impossible. After all.. Activating exclusive skill of Harmonic Soul Demon Sword, Double Attack. The attack that I poured my soul into duplicated twice to suppress the god. [w-wait!I never saw anything like this on the 13th floor! ] The god of battle attempted to resist while yelling desperately, but it failed. sh! Gerhans body, which was cut into half before, got cut into two pieces yet again. And Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 15. As a reward, you have received Protection Bracelet of a God without Name(S+) As a reward, you have received 100,000 points. As a reward, you have received 5,000 SP As a bonus reward, you have received additional 5,000 SP As a bonus reward, you have received Holy Bead of a God without Name(S+) Please move to the waiting area. A message of trialpletion rang out with the body of Gerhan falling apart. The battle that seemed undefeatable was won. [To be continued.] Chapter 141: Chapter 141:
Revival achievement unlocked. +4 on every stat. Adversary achievement unlocked. +4 on every stat. Every stat got raised from winning the battle. Sky Breaking Sword has broken an unbreakable thing to rank up into A+(8,700/10,000). Furthermore, after killing the god of battle under , the Sky Breaking Sword has reached the point of just before a rank up. If I were tobine everything including the rewards of trial clear rewards, the gains would be immeasurable. However, on a separate matter, the state of Blood Demon Sword was not good. Every skill of True Blood Demon Swords Soul Ego are deactivated. The durability of True Blood Demon Sword is decreased by 9.4%. With cracks on multiple ces of the sword, Damn Cheonwoo let out a groan. [ Are you okay? ] At that, an immediate response followed. DDamn it, Does this one look like its in its prime? Telling this one to face a god under right after waking up.. Tis was luck that it was an iplete , if not for that, we both wouldve faced death. [ . ] DWe hath survived somehow, but this one cant fight off the tiredness. We shall continue thister on. Until then, this great one shant help you. [I understand. ] DAnd this great one will have to be the one to talk to you about the reason for this fight with a god.. Soon after, the voice of Dam Cheonwoo flickered like a candlelight by a breeze to disappearpletely. There were more things that I wanted to ask him, but they seemed quite tired from this battle. I suppose it cant be helped, Ill have to wait until theyre awaketer. Dam Cheonwoo has previously mentioned that its difficult to maintain his consciousness so conversations neversted very long. It was disheartening that his condition became worse. It seems like he knew a lot about different things, I wish I couldve asked him more things while I could. Perhaps because Dam Cheonwoo managed to reach the higher levels of the tower, they seemed to know a lot about gods. So with all these questions I had, having lost the person to question was disheartening. Of course, that didnt mean that there was a definitive solution so it was better to pay attention elsewhere. God of battle. I approached the body of Gerhan that fell to the ground. I neared it with the hope that there would be a spirit left by the god of battle.. But once I got close to the body that was split in half, an inconceivable scenery appeared before me. [ Damn it all. Just How? ] The god of battle was still under . Hm? I thought that the wouldve been dispelled since I got the cleared trial message. I got taken aback momentarily, but understood the situation by observing the state of the body. Ah, with this, even cant do much. The god of battle meaninglessly kept the activated to stare at me. With no way of harming me, it was harmless to dere it as trialpletion. Since the requirements of trialpletion was to lead the holy war into victory, making the god unable to resurge meant that the trials of the 15th floor were cleared. I said while looking down on the god of battle. [ Is there something else you can do by continuing to sacrifice that divine power of yours to the tower? ] [ Ha, I pre-paid it in advance. Even if I wanted to cancel out of , I cant. ] [ Now thats a good news. ] [ I will make sure that I will kill you. Do not think that this is thest youll see of me. I will make you regret that a dog of the tower like you dared to covet for divine power. ] [ . ] At this rate, I was honestly over the obsession. Just what was that divine power for this god to dere me as nemesis.. However, this question did get a bit of rification. I found out through the state of discipleship. The ones that gain divine powers without a trace of god are given the opportunity to reach the state of divinity. This was something I realized instinctively after reaching a state of discipleship. Perhaps the god of battle does not want another divine entity to be born. Its a bitcking in a logical sense, but with everything I found out at this point, that was my theory. [ Next time I will ensure to kill. ] But now, it did not matter why the god of battle sought to attack me. They thought of me as an enemy, descended under , but I faced them as an opponent to win. That was plenty. [ Swallow it. ] After using the divinity through manipting nature, the ground soon turned ck. Using divinity . The darkness is swallowing up the specified target. [ ! ] The god of battle attempted to scream through the . But before they could, the darkness that covered the ground swallowed up their head faster than they could utter a sound. Soon after, Gerhans body lost strength and was followed with a dark smoke. You have absorbed the soul of the Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevia. Proficiency increased by 7.7% It was the mark of necromancy. As I thought, theres no soul for the god of battle. The only soul that can be absorbed would be Gerhans. And its not like the god of battle died either so it was obvious that their soul cant be absorbed I couldnt help but be let down by that. But that sentiment soon disappeared with the message that followed. By absorbing the soul of a stronger soul than the user, the judgment for Divinity Extraction will start. It was a message for Divinity Extraction. Of course, Gerhan Nevia alone would never be a tough opponent for me.. Judgment sess. Well, I figured that the divinity extraction was not based solely on battle prowess so I was not surprised by the results. Existence of power confirmed in the soul of Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevia. Extracting power from the soul. But I still couldnt help but feel excited over it. Since Gerhan was a favorite of god of battle, they ought to have multiple powers that would be useful. And the extracted powers did not let me down. The power sh Step (B+) is being engraved on the soul of user Han Sungyeun. The ability of sh Step was simple. Activating the power sh Step. There will be a 10 minute cool down on the power. By using divine power, you can immediately teleport to a location within your sight. It was a short distance teleporter. Honestly, there was nothing else to observe with its simple usage method.. But because I was still in the state of discipleship, with a higher understanding of powers, I could understand the nature of this power. This is not traveling between spaces, but rather a speed movement. If i was not careful and attempted to use it rashly, Id end up getting hit by a wall. Well, as long as I use it in an open field, it should work the same as teleporting so I wouldnt have much to worry about. After getting an insight of sh step, a message appeared at the corner of my sight. The god of Dark is scoffing at a stupid god that used up most of their divine powers. the god of proof is mocking the god of battle for being mindless. It was the message of the two gods that Ive seen before. [ . ] Both of them were making fun of the god of battle, but it did not feel satisfying as I did not know their intentions. The god of battle attempted to kill me just because I had divine power. Then depending on the situation, these two gods could also change and turn to kill me as well. I need to be wary of gods. Until I can find out their exact intention, I didnt n on blindly trusting them. Tower of Trials is punishing the god of battle that went against the rules with a Advent Prohibition and Chatting Prohibition. Among all the unfortunates, the fortunate was that the tower of trials has punished the god of battle. Seemingly with more rules other than needing to spend divine powers, the god of battle was prohibited from descending and chatting. At least for a good while, I wont have to worry about the god of battle interfering. State of Discipleship ending in <00:00:00>. With the remaining time decreasing, the time for dispelling the state of discipleship approached. Time is up. Dispelling the State of Discipleship. Divine keywords , , and are disappearing. Ah. The darkness surrounding the body melted away like snow and the radiant divinity disappeared. To tell the truth, it was hard to let go of them, but it wouldve never been given to me under normal circumstances. I just have to grow stronger to reach a state high enough to use them again. After consoling myself, I was about to use the portal that appeared after the trialpletion. I could sense an army of people approaching from my surroundings. Without a moment of dy, I could see the identity of the presences. How, how could this be?! Did we truly get the savior of the church of dark.?! Church of Dark. With the priest serving the god of dark as a lead, the group of spirit priests appeared again. With an enormous number. Thats when I realized that the church of dark did not run away. They mustve chased after the cult of battle members that ran away and replenished the numbers. They most likely assumed that in order to affect the battle with a transcendent entity, more fighters would be needed. It was rather strategic, but it was useless by the battle being cut short. And with the portal out, I had no intentions on getting involved anymore than what I have. But. Oooh! Disciple of the dark lord..! Why have you forsaken us until now?! The archbishop Keinel that Ive previously met appeared to kneel. With drops of tears streaming down their face. What.? To be honest, I had no idea why they thought that I was a disciple serving the god of dark. But perhaps I was alone in that sentiment, as other priests and mercenaries started to kneel. At that overwhelming scene before me, I flinched. But that became a catalyst. Why have you not helped the church until they have oppressed us?! The archbishop cried without holding back in their spiritual high. Im not even a priest so why do they keep misunderstanding me? I wanted to be honest and tell them that I was not a priest, but as always, the world never lets you have what you want. Activating the power Faith Harvest strongly. Harvesting the faith towards you from the surroundings. Seeing the harvesting faith, my mouth opened on its own. I had no choice. I was taken aback by the flowing words that bypassed my conscience. But I held onto my thoughts and added onto the lies. It was the will of the Dark Lord. For the god has not forsaken you. With the lie flowing out without a pause, I felt no guilt. This was an opportunity. The opportunity to create a new myth. So rather than a stab at my conscience, the thought needing to take advantage of this situation took over. It cant be helped. Faiths are not acquired easily after all. While my mind muttered about, my mouth never rested a moment on spewing out sugar coated words. The Dark Lord has not forgotten you. Your proof is right here.. The god of dark is calling a kind hearted child and wanting to pat your head. It was bullshit. Truth is, if the god of dark really desired to help these people, she wouldve acted a long time ago. But I had no desire to give up on the faith being collected as I spoke. Everything was the will of the Dark Lord, and I followed their will with my whole heart. And hearing this, the archbishop Keinel cried even harder and sunk their head into the ground. As in literally, not figuratively. Bam! H-How profound! My sincerest apologies, oh priest! We were ignorant, and med! It was almost like seeing someone who went mad, but if it could be used for gaining faith, I couldnt care less. Thats all right. After all, the will of god works in inconceivable ways. God of dark is feeling satisfaction at your words and smiles. God of proof is astonished by your deception techniques. I didnt care what the gods talked about. It was best to get every benefit I could before I left this stage. At that moment O- oh priest! I have something to ask of you! Behind the archbishop, a woman suddenly jumped out to kneel before me. You are. It was Reinel Asir. Reinel asked quietly once she realized that I recognized her. Y-you remember me? Of course. We spoke a few days ago. I-Its an honor! T-the reason why I called you is. Reinels voice gradually became smaller, wary of the gaze from the priests. I wanted to know your name. I couldnt help but smile after hearing what she had to say so timidly. To think her question would be to ask me for my name. I was a bit dumbfounded, but it was not like it was a big deal, so I decided to tell her. Han Sungyeun. But. Thats my name. That mustve affected her somehow since a new message appeared before me. Faith Harvest elerating from having your true name be known by the believers. Myth ready to be created with the elerated harvest of faith. Myth is calcted depending on the results and the faith of believers. It was the notification for myth creation, which I havent seen in a long time. Myth ispleted. Myth is umting into the divine powers. When challenger Han Sungyeun activates the corresponding myth, the effect is applied. When the weak are rescued through kind actions, every stat will be raised even just a little. When challenger Han Sungyeun activates the corresponding myth, the effect is applied. When followed by a religion, depending on the number of the followers, the divine powers are increased. Seeing the two absurd myths, salvation and enlightenment, I bitterlyughed. It felt as if the more I lied, the stronger I got. Dont tell me am I a natural? A little. It was just a very tiny bit, but it did feel like I did, and I felt a prick at my conscience. [To be continued.] Chapter 142: Chapter 142:
Activating the True Blood Demonic Swords exclusive skill Blood Eat. Absorbing the blood of Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevia to rank up the item into A (2,801/4,800). is imprinted on the Blood Eats exclusive slot from absorbing Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevia. After using blood eat on Gerhans corpse, I got back to the waiting room. There was nothing else on the 15th floor, and it was ufortable seeing the archbishop crying his eyes out hanging on to me. So as soon as I got all the rewards, I entered the portal as if to run away. You have entered the 16th floor waiting room. The limits on messages from Administrators are lifted. And I was flooded with messages from the Administrators. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is relieved that their contractor is safe. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is tearing up telling the contractor well done. And Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is inviting you to the Administrator territory. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is inviting you to the Administrator territory. Both of them sent out an invitation message at the same time. I apologize for making you worry, but I dont believe that I have time to meet you. But I had no intention of epting those invitations. After all, I had a lot to do. First, I had to analyze all the rewards I got from the 15th floor, and I also had to organize everything that I learned. I need to think more about divine powers. After being in a state of discipleship, I could see the state of Pseudo-divinity. And through that, I realized That the divine powers within the heart is not merely a concept of payment system in return of using myths and powers. The more you polish divine powers the stronger it will get, and it will react sensitively to certain wills. Furthermore, during the state of discipleship, it was stronger than the Sword Aura that Nam GungHyuk used. Of course, Nam GungHyuks martial arts was manifested through using mana from the surroundings.. The divine powers used through the Divinity keywords could utilized more intuitively Its versatility was good as well. I quietly moved the divine powers gathered up in my heart to concentrate it on the tip of my finger. To replicate that feeling of state of discipleship. . I narrowed my eyes seeing the eerie divine powers that got painted ck. They said something about potential of grim reaper or something. But to think that the detailed effect of Necromancy would cause something like this. After the state of discipleship, the divine powers within my heart changed. An affinity got imbued in the divine powers albeit not like when the Divinity keyword was used. I could reinforce weapons like mana, and a special effect urred when I manipted the divine powers within my body. Just like now. How peculiar. When the divine powers surrounded my eyes, the scenery I saw turned extravagant. ck spots resembling drips of ck ink and suffocating ck energy could be seen flowing about. I did not know what these were. Even if I poked at the ck spots on the walls of the waiting room, there were no changes, and even if I interrupted the flow of ck energy by waving my hand around, nothing urred. But it changed once I used divine power. Crack. What the. The walls of the waiting room that never budged no matter what I did, just got crushed a bit. Of course the walls repaired itself immediately as if to hide the fact that it got broken When I went around the ck spots poking them, as if that spot were old and decrepit, it crumbled releasing dust. . I felt a disconnect at that, so I used divine powers to cut down the ck energy And the ck energy split on contact, but did not do anything else than that. Hm, this must also be an effect of the Necromancy, but I cant figure out what it is. I pondered standing still, but no answer came about. In the end, I just epted it as a type of affinity addition, and focused on something else. Activating the exclusive effect of the item Seal of Tribute (SS-), Tribute. You can choose to make an offering among the [Talent], [Ability], [Treasure] that you possess. The Seal of Tribute that can increase the amount of divine powers did not disappear despite leaving the 15th stage. I assumed that it wouldnt after seeing that detail saying how the seal will never disappear, but actually seeing it stay made me smile. With this, my divine powers can be easily amplified. And then I chose one option out of the three. Youve selected [Ability] as an offering to god. Select a [Ability] to offer. Ive selected [Treasure] before, so I intended to see what it meant by offering an [Ability]. But, it ended up being rather normal. The [Ability] offering was a skill. Seeing all the skills I owned made meugh in disbelief. You can turn these into divinity too? I was bbergasted, but it was rather a positive oue. Even if I could get rid of unwanted skills throughbining skills, some of them were still difficult to get rid of. I immediately chose one of the skills that I have not been usingtely, Three Verses. Youve selected the skill Three Verses(A-). It had a high ranking of A-, but other than the rank, it had no good uses. After all, It was the reward I got from defeating my very first challenger from an alternative dimension. No matter how difficult the challenger was to defeat back then, there was no way that theyd provide a good skill so early on. Therefore, it was natural for that skill to be unused eventually. Youve received an offering of skill Three Verses(A-) from yourself. Converting the ability into divinity to umte in the heart. Perhaps because I offered an A- Ranking skill, the divine powers within the heart increased a lot. However, even with this, the ranking of divinity did not go up. The growth was definitely better than offering measly items though. After pondering for a while, I took out a few skill books from the dimensional pocket. Even if its a random skill absorption, most of them are D ranked. It was plenty to offer up for divine powers. After using the skill book to acquire a few skills, I got filled with disappointment. As expected, lower ranked skills were useless. Of course if it had good usability, it could still be used despite the low ranking. But most of the skills from the skill book were useless. Youve selected the skill Gluttony Control(D-). Being able to control your appetite. Youve selected the skill Forced Sleep(D-). Being able to sleep whenever you want. Youve selected the skill Poison Resistance (D-). Or being able to resist some poison.. But at this point in time, even without poison resistance, my body would not be affected by it. My physical stats are too high for poison to affect me. And even if I were to be affected, with a D- rank, it wouldnt do anything for me. If it was a poison strong enough to influence me, then it would be an insane fatal poisonparable to a power. And I felt no need to control what I ate and when I slept. But rather, getting no food and no sleep did not affect me anymore. So theres no need for me to have these. After sacrificing such skill, the divine powers in my heart increased a bit. And Power Divinity(B) is ranking up to Divinity(B+). Power Divinity(B+) is now influenced by the users will and faith. Power Divinity(B+) is slowly getting its divinity affinity established by the potential of grim reaper. After using all the skill books Ive received from the UK hunters association, the ranking of my divinity got raised. The affinity of death in my heart became stronger and for some reason, the divinity maniption got much easier. The color of divine powers did get a bit darker and crimson, but that was not something worth paying attention to. I sat down slowly to observe the ranked up divinity and replicated the sensation back when I was in the state of discipleship. Of course, there was no obvious aplishment, but I could roughly feel what I felt back then. I think this should be plenty for divine power. I opened up the dimensional pocket to take out an item shaped like a shield to eat. Activating skill Steel Eat. And an immediate message followed. Youve consumed the item Shield of Light. <00:09:59> Untilplete consumption. After getting used to the waiting period of Steel Eat during the 15th floor stage, I was prettyfortable sitting until it was finished absorbing. After a moment, my body gained strength with a message. Consumptionpleted. + 1 on Strength stats. Most items that do not have steel included would raise the stats like this. However, the items that are not made of steel would change the constitution, so I had to be careful when consuming it. After eating a few more items, I waited until digestion. Consumptionpleted. + 2 on Stamina stats. + 3 on Mana stats. Expelling 4.8% of toxic energy within the body. After theplete breakdown of the item, I felt somethinge up from my throat. Ugh. I felt my body get lighter after spitting out a ck liquid. However, I just felt disappointment in seeing low growth despite eating numerous items. The more my stats increase and the more toxins I expel, the lower its efficiency. But its not like I would maintain my current ranking up speed so I had no reason to worry over it. With this, most of the items I received from the UK hunters association were taken care of. Then I followed it up by taking out the reward I received for clearing the 15th floor trial. Protection Bracelet of a God without Name Rank : S+ A bracelet that a god who now has no name used to have during their previous life. When the user is exposed to an unavoidable single strike, the exclusive effect Advanced Defense will be activated. When the exclusive effect, Advanced Defense is activated, the bracelet will get rid of the unavoidable single strike. However, the exclusive effect has limits on its usage, and its current number is 4 times currently. The basicpletion reward was an item with an exclusive effect of advanced defense. It was a green beaded bracelet, and its exclusive effects were rather to my liking. If I had topare, it did have a simr effect as the skill Last Stand, but Unlike the Last Stand, the bracelet gets rid of the attack in the Advanced Defense. It would be moreparable to the defensive barrier by Necromancy. However, unlike the barrier from Necromancy, there was no special price to pay nor a limit. It did have a limit on the number of usage, but this was there to make sure the item is bnced. If it didnt limit the number, it could block every attack continuously, so its proper to have a limit. After confirming it, I put the bracelet on my left wrist and looked towards the inventory. And Holy Bead of a God without Name Rank : S+ A bead containing the divine powers of a god who now has no name during their previous life. After choosing a recipient and inserting divine powers, the exclusive effect Absolute Seal is activated. When the exclusive effect, Absolute Seal is activated, the most powerful ability of the opponent is sealed. However, the exclusive effect can not be used after being used once, and the seal does notst long. The bonus reward was a weakening item that could bebeled as a curse affinity. Like the bracelet, it had a green hue to it with a limit on its usage. This is good too. The tower of trials is a ce where its not unusual to have enemies pop out left and right. And an item that can seal the most powerful ability of the opponent is always wee. After storing the bead in my pocket, I absorbed the soul of Gerhan. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevia. Strength increased by 4. Agility increased by 6. Stamina increased by 4. Mana increased by 7. Tenacity increased by 3. My stats did not move too much considering the strength of the enemy, but. Acquiring one of Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevias skills. Acquiring the skill Cry of the Strong(B-). I managed to get lucky and absorb a skill and benefit even more. Youve received an offering of skill Cry of the Strong(B-) from yourself. Converting the ability into divinity to umte in the heart. Of course, I invested the skill into my divine powers by using the Seal of Tribute. It had the effects for weaker people so there was nothing to think about. These are not that important, so Ill use them to increase my divinity. A new message popped up while I was working. Youve sensed divine powers in the soul of Reserve Disciple Gerhan Nevia. Power Divinity is activated by meeting the requirements. Attempting divinity extraction. It was the message Ive seen before about divinity extraction. Divinity extraction sess. However, unlike before, the rank of divine powers did not increase. But my divine powers increased a lotpared to before. With the rank of divinity going up, growth is definitely bing harder and harder.. But to tell the truth, slower growth meant that I became stronger so I tried to ept it as a positive fact. After checking every reward and ranking up, I recalled the quest. And they said that the personal trials can be reced by the quests from the administrators. So at that, I immediately spoke out the recent addition of themand. Quest. And Opening the list of quests for the challenger Han Sungyeun. Youve received quests from a total of 87 administrators. D Administrator Ruler of the Sky hasmissioned the quest . D Administrator Seeker of Divinity hasmissioned the quest . D Administrator Hero of the ck Archipgo hasmissioned the quest . . . I let out augh seeing the long list of quests. Theres so many. I never thought that this many administrators wouldmission me. But to be honest, I could choose my rewards for quests so the more quests I had, the better it was. Before I chose out the best, since Ive received powers for quests from the 3 administrators, I decided to take care of that first. But DAdministrator Hero of a Fallen World hasmissioned the quest . *Sess Reward : Two of the selected items can be imbued with the affinity Absolute Indestructibility. *Sess Condition : making a choice that you will not regret. The quest that the administrator who has sponsored me the Heros Protection attracted my eye. To be more specific, the Two of the selected items can be imbued with the affinity Absolute Indestructibility part was what got me. And I was just thinking that I should get the item fixed from overusing the soul ego in the Blood Demon Sword.. It would seem that I could wake up the consciousness of Dam Cheonwoo faster than I thought. How lucky. It was the timing that a quest got chosen naturally. [To be continued.] Chapter 143: Chapter 143:
The reason why I wanted to imbue the affinity Absolute Indestructibility was for Dam Cheonwoo After all.. They could use multiple skills of high caliber, and a challenger that climbed until the 41st floor. Its necessary to recover the durability of Blood Demon Sword, and imbue it with the Absolute Indestructibility affinity. The information acquired from reaching the 41st floor must be priceless. I was yet to hear in detail his information as a challenger, but with the rank of the sword raised, the time to have a conversation ought to increase. But the issue is that the previous battle damaged the swords durability. Dam Cheonwoos soul ego was fragile in the first ce This recent battle mustve overexerted him as he was yet to speak. Ive attempted to wake them up using the Advanced Stealth Communication method, but nothing urred. With no other options, I sheathed the sword back and opened the contact store to get ready for the quest. Youve purchased the Adventurers Handmade Gloves(B+). 85,000 points deducted. Youve purchased the Tracking Blindfold(B+). 92,000 points deducted. To tell the truth, theres nothing much to get ready for, but learned one thing after the 15th floor. After the trials of the 10th floor, humans were manifested in the trials and its frequency continued to increase. Quests are in ce of personal trials so it would be safe to assume that more humans would be implemented in the trial. So in order to be ready to face humans, it was necessary to get proper tools for it. I had to spend a lot of my points, but the effects of the purchased items were not up to par. The Adventurers Handmade Gloves(B+) makes it easier for me to get adjusted to new ces better. While Tracking Blindfold(B+) helps me spot whoever has hostility towards me. Both items were honestly not worth its whopping price of close to 20 million points. However, points did not matter to me as much as it used to and I spent the points because I could afford to do so. Ah,e to think of it, I should be able to purchase more items I could use for Steel Eat from the store. After purchasing the gloves and the blindfold, I purchased a few more items that I could consume. The gloves werefortable to wreck, but the blindfold was a bit ufortable as it covered my sight. Of course. Activating skill Fire Dragons Eyes. It did not matter much since it was more efficient to use the skills to see. Activating skill Steel Eat. Crunch, Crunch. A message immediately popped up as soon as I finished swallowing the items purchased from the store. <03:47:59> Untilplete consumption. Perhaps because I consumed higher ranked items than before, the time limit increased. Well, its not like it matters that much. As long as the time did not increase to span a few days, it was nothing worth worrying over. Youve selected the quest . The 16th floors individual trial is reced with . The observation of trial from other administrators are limited, and only a selected few administrators can see the trial. After selecting the quest, the message stating that the 16th floors trial got reced appeared. On top of the message that notified of limited ess of administrators. Come to think of it, there was a message that said that quests are created based on the records of administrators previous life. It would make sense, itd be more weird to disy the records of their life out to the public like that. And the messages about other administrators were not important so I chose to ignore it. Will you ept the trial of 16th floor? With everything ready, there was no reason to hesitate. I immediately stepped towards the portal that appeared. Entering Tower of Trials floor 16. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is Hero. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. And The 16th floor trial is starting. Remaining time C 48 days. Trial sess condition C Make a choice that you will not regret within the time limit. Trial fail condition C Challengers death or the end of remainder of time. Trial sess reward C Two of the selected items can be imbued with the affinity Absolute Indestructibility. Trial fail penalty C None After opening my eyes, I realized that I was staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. . Laying on a bed. ?- -? Starting the quest .. Some of the items are restricted from equipment and are sent back inside your inventory. Challenger Han Sungyeun has abilities surpassing the level of the quest. Every stat will be fixed into 50, and it will not change until the end of the trial. However, the stats acquired from the quest can be recalibrated after the trial. With the start of the quest, my stats decreased over half. Even the two swords I had equipped disappeared. The Adventurers Handmade Gloves(B+) and Tracking Blindfold(B+) that I bought right before the trial remained. But the Vampire Counts Rusty Tail Coat(A-) that shouldve been protecting my body and the Wind Spirits Boots(A+) has also disappeared. Now this is odd. Every item of A- rank mustve been sent back into the inventory, but it was absurd. Ive never expected that my items and stats would be locked up for being unfit for the level of the trial. I merely assumed that it was because this was not a typical trial, but a quest. Since this has never happened before. . After raising the upper half of my body from the bed, I surveyed my surroundings to find out that I was inside a tent. It was rather on therge side, but it did not feel like a military tent like before. The moment I attempted to figure out my situation. Youre finally up, Neal.. While looking at my surroundings, a woman estimated to be in her twenties approached me. With an expression asking for rification, I opened my mouth. What kind of situation is this? It was a question disregarding the role I was tasked with.. Perhaps this would lead me to figure out the story of the quest on my own. But I had no desire to find out the plot of the quest doing bothersome things. But as if the stars had aligned itself for me, the woman with a sunken expression said something unexpected. So in the end, this is how it ended up. Did you forget everything, Neal? I didnt do anything but the situation set itself for me. So I went with the flow and nodded my head. It seems like it. I cant remember anything. Who I am, and why I am on this bed here. Some of them were lies, but the woman wearing a ck robe nodded as if she expected this. The after effects are severe, theres nothing else I can do. After effects ? We have no time so Ill summarize it. Neal, youre a hero. The only apostle of Church of Dragon with a mission to save this world . You were, no, we were on an adventure to defeat the demon lord. And in that process during a battle with the great demon, you sustained a great injury. And thats how I lost my memories? The woman nodded as an answer. What kind of situation. Putting aside the convenient memory loss trope, it was rather absurd. War with a demon lord? It was the trope youdmonly see in decades of manhwa books.. However, seeing the womans haggard expression, and those depressed tone of voice, the battle mustve been arduous unlike the stories from manhwas. And when I asked her why we had to kill the demon lord, she frowned. How disastrous. To think youd even forget this. She then immediately went to exin in a depressed voice. Listen well. Theres countless reasons, but the demon lord serves the demon god. A god was involved in this too. Theyre nning on manifesting the demon god in this world. And if that happens, this world as we know it will go extinct. On an entirely different scale than the 15th floor.. In any case, I had every intention to do my best and clear this trial. So when I said my intentions out loud in very sweetly coated words, the womans eyes widened in surprise and turned back to dispirited. Good, good. Youre the chosen hero after all. Just because you lost your memories doesnt mean that you get to rest. I couldnt even question her self reproaching tone. Wait here, Ill go call the otherpanions. Because she suddenly left the tent saying that shell call over the others. I stared at the ceiling of the tent in silence. It said that the quests proceeded ording to the life record of the administrator. Putting me, who is going through this in the form of a trial, aside. The administrator who went through this themselves mustve lived a depressing life. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is saying that they know this story already and expressed their boredom. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint says that its interesting to see the story in real life. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is looking at you in silence. However, the two administrators mustve been acquainted with the administrator whomissioned this quest seeing their recognition over this story. Well, to tell the truth. Despite having no rtions at all, I could see the overall flow of this quest. After all.. No good ending would be there with the title of hero of a fallen world. The tower increased the questmon on the 16th floor, and informed me that the quests are progressed ording to the life records of the administrator. So feeling a sense of foreboding from the title of the administrator was a natural urrence. Either the demon god manifested, or the demon lord couldnt be defeated. Regardless of whichever happened, the life of the administrator wouldve not met a good ending. Thus is the reason for trialpletion being to make a choice that you will not regret. In any case, this would not be easy. However, seeing the all stat sealed penalty, the difficulty would most likely be of mental difficulty than physical. But can this trial really be that challenging mentally? It seems like a simple enough quest defeating the demon lord trying to manifest the demon god.. I could not understand why it was set up to be so mentally challenging. But that sentiment onlysted a little. Neal, here are the rest of them. I realized after seeing the otherpanions entering the tent,pletely breaking the silence. Dear lord! Neal! Youre finally up! What a relief! As expected of the apostle chosen by the Dragon Lord! Its a miracle! I never doubted that you will rise again, o savior hero! Why this quest was set up with the focus on mental challenges. Multiple hostile enemies detected near the user. Activating Automatic Tracking the exclusive effect of Tracking Blindfold(B+). Now what kind of situation is this? Three of thepanions gave off a crimson hue through the Tracking Blindfold. As if they held a very strong hostility towards me. [To be continued.] Chapter 144: Chapter 144:
To say the least, it was rather an odd situation. The so-calledpanions are the ones alerting the Tracking Blindfold? For a second, I wondered if I should attempt to have a conversation after beating them all down first. After all, It was not like all the powers and techniques Ive acquired disappeared despite my stats being locked. Even if the method of using the skills and powers could be altered, it was not like I couldnt defeat a few enemies. But. Neal, Make sure to get plenty of rest for tonight, after today, you wont be able to get rest even if you wanted to. To conclude, I decided to observe the situation rather than causing a battle. It was due to the condition of this trial. The message said that I need to make a decision that I will not regret, but I cant take it as face value. By needing to make an unregrettable decision, that meant that the time to make a choice was nigh. Thus I nned to act ording to the role I was given in this story. And luckily, a part of the role fit me perfectly too. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is staring at you. at least, I will not be at a disadvantage if I continued on in this manner. After I felt the presence of the threepanions disappear, I quickly got up. Then I sat cross legged to disperse my mana to my surroundings for surveince. theres nothing odd in the tent, and all my other skills are activating as it should. Despite the hostility detected by the Tracking Blindfold, there was nothing to be determined as a trap. Well, even if traps existed, nothing would change. My stats might be locked, but my divine powers remained on top of my skills and powers. Judging by the level of thepanions, Id say that it will take me no less than a few minutes to kill them all. So there was no need to worry. I have a lot of time, so Ill get to know my situation eventually. I could take the lead of the situation whenever I wanted to. ?- -? Once the morning came, I had to listen to numerous exnations. Neal, what Im about to tell you is important, so you need to listen well. The speaker was a womanpanion who introduced herself as Daisy. She was the one who exined things on the first day, and it seems like she was stuck with the role now. However, everything she spoke was nothing more than a husk. Things like how we are on our way to the demonic realm where the demon lord resides, or how my lost memories can be slowly recovered through the protection of the holy sword. Apologies to the Hero of a Fallen World, but to be honest, everything was just an array of useless settings. Does it really matter whether I know these settings?? I was unsure why this process was necessary, but I assumed that its there for a reason so I chose to listen through all the exnations. And to briefly sum up all the important facts, Firstly, the only one who can kill the demon lord in this world was the hero with the blessings of the god, and thats why I still had to be in this party despite losing my memories. So despite the memory loss, they had no choice but to drag me to the demonic realms. Well, this much I understand. Secondly, I as the hero and the apostle of the dragon lord, could acquirerge amounts of power by sacrificing my precious things to the god through the holy sword. Perhaps the reason for losing the memories was because of that. However, Daisy thankfully noted that among the sacrifices to the holy sword without an actual form will eventually return. But can the memory that ive never lost in the first ce return back to me? Until the third time of facing the demon lord, I will have to face countless enemies while regaining my strength. This was the most absurd. Ive never lost my strength so what strength do I even recover? Theyve even attempted to re-teach me martial techniques, but I got out of that by saying that my body remembered. No matter how low my stats are, Im in no way in a position to learn from someone else. I had no ns of going along with this setting unless Ive actually lost my memories.. that carefree attitude of yours is still the same despite losing your memory, it seems like. Of course Daisy seemed disbelieving of what I said, but I should be able to prove myself in a battle. And after hearing more different things, Daisy spoke as if she said plenty. Ive said everything important, so Ill talk about the rest while we continue on. Once I left the tent following Daisy, I could see a stereotypical medieval style carriage. Other than the horses d in armor, nothing would demonstrate that this was a carriage for entering the enemy territory.. But through my Mana Circuits detection ability, I could see that it did have some mana equipment installed on it. I suppose itd be odd to have nothing on the carriage. A man ofrge stature with scars all over his body approached me. He was one of thepanions of the hero that I sawst night. He stared at me while sighing, then spoke while scratching the back of his head. Damn it, Fuck. Neal, you lost your memories? You cant even remember my name? Yes. The aftereffects of the battle mustve been great. I dont know who you are. Sigh. The name is Allen Nix. Call me Allen. And feel free to treat me casually. Understood, Allen. But Id rather treat you politely. Fine. Do whatever you want, youre still the same Neal even after losing memories, I suppose. An old man approachedughing while Allen was murmuring. With a typical attire of a magician, Ive seen this old manst night as well. You seem to be doing better than I thought, Neal. Ah, You are. Zerva Denir. You can call me Zerva. At my old age, I dont care what people refer to me as anymore. Understood. youve be more calm after losing your memories. Lets get on the carriage first, we need to get to the demonic realm as soon as possible. Yes. I wondered just how wild this hero of the fallen world was. Daisy never let it show, but Allen and Zerva flinched every time I spoke in a polite manner. Just what kind of person were they to act like this? Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch isughing in absurdity reminiscing in the past. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is nodding as if they understand the old man. I was rather curious. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is shouting to stop talking about useless things and shut up! But for the sake of themissioner, I decided to drop this thought. ?- -? Rattle, rattle. The few days traveling in the carriage were uneventful. With minor chatters and acquiring useless information, I had nothing to dere as a gain.. Sigh, I really thought that Id die in that battle. Neal, you chose to attack that big army just because it looks fun. It really was like that back then. But it was how the apostle of the dragon lord shouldve acted like. Well, so in the end, you did manage to defeat that army of monsters. Neal tends to do the unexpected sometimes. Well, you dont seem to do that after losing your memories, so thats good. But sometimes I do miss those times. Other than that, the only gains were finding out how friendly the rest of thepanions were. Multiple hostile enemies detected near the user. Activating Automatic Tracking the exclusive effect of Tracking Blindfold(B+). But, the moment I confirmed their hostility, their friendly demeanor turned untrustable. I have no idea why they consider me as an enemy, but theres no way that the Tracking Blindfold would make a mistake. And this trial being physically unchallenging convinced me even more so. However, I acted friendly towards them to gain their trust. As if I truly lost my memories and I was relying on them. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is astonished by your unexpected excellent acting skills. And after a few days of rxing times, a new change was brought forth. Neiggggh! The horses pulling the carriage suddenly refused to continue onwards. The situation became clear once we exited the carriage. After all.. Youre exposed to demonic energy filled environment due to your proximity of Demonic Realm. The more exposure to demonic energy, the more your mind will corrode. I felt an ominous energy surrounding the body. Almost as if your body is absorbing a thick viscous liquid just from breathing alone. It was certain that it was not a positive change. Activating the exclusive effect Ecology Adaptation of the item Adventurers Handmade Gloves(B+). But, the item that I bought before this trial managed to counter that negative change. Your mind will not corrode from demonic energy. +2 stats on mana in environments with high concentration of demonic energy. On top of buffs that raise my mana stats by 2 While I was noting the increase on my mana, Daisy, who followed me out the carriage spoke. From here on, we cant travel by carriage. Neal, we cant be considerate to you anymore. Thats fine. Itd be impossible to travel with horses in this condition anyways. Youre still the odd one even without memories. I suppose thats how you always have been. But, the situation is not all that negative. Daisy nodded and threw a sword that she took out from the carriage towards me. It was a longsword engraved with a golden dragon, but it did not seem at all functional. However, the Fire Dragons Eyes could see the real value of the sword. Dragon Lords Sword Rank : S+ Cutting Force +40% Charisma +40% Mana Management +40% A holy sword bestowed upon the hero by the Dragon Lord. Only when judging the evil can you use the dragon lords sword to its full potential. When administering divine powers, the exclusive effect Starlight can be activated. When Starlight is activated, starlights containing the power of the dragon can be manifested through the sword. Desire can be activated through an earnest prayer. When Desire is activated, you can temporarily receive powers through offering sacrifices to the dragon god. When the offerings for the Desire is not a physical object, it will slowly return back to the user over time. Exclusive effect Punishment can be activated against monster type enemies. When Punishment is activated, +7 on all stats when facing the wrong. When Punishment is activated, the power of dragons can be used when facing the wrong. When Punishment is activated, mana will not deplete. However, the item will disappear once the challenger Han SungYeun leaves the 16th floors individual trial area, and it can not be possessed in any form other than its designated use. This is. What an insane stat. A new voice flowed while I was thinking. Its the holy sword. Zerva, who got out of the carriage, spoke while looking at me calmly. Its the sword bestowed upon the apostle of the dragon lord, and a relic befitting the hero of salvation. At that, I realized after reading the information about the sword. Perhaps I could get an inconceivable ability after this trial Sword Sense. The ability that can choose an item within the de category to learn it as a form of a skill. That an opportunity to use that exclusive effect would finallye in this trial. And You mentioned that there should be a monster or a demon to properly use the holy sword, right? Which skill Id have to absorb among the many abilities of the holy sword. Where are they right now? Ill get to know very soon. [To be continued.] Chapter 145: Chapter 145:
Demonic Realm. As the name suggested, it was a realm overflowing with those of demonic race and monsters. With demonic energy that will drive most living beings mad just from breathing it, monsters that can easily annihte a hundred people lived here tearing each others throats. The ones who know of the demonic realm all said this. No matter how strong one might be, they would never survive in the demonic realm. Even the demons who have been bestowed a rank by the demon lord can be easily seen fighting. In the demonic realm, duels were an everyday urrence. Nothing could defeat the ferociousness of the demonic realm purely based on logic of power. Even the most experienced warriors deem the demonic realm as something that should not exist in the present. Even with the holy sword, it was not something a young man with amnesia could handle. But Just what. Is this Sometimes, it existed. Howe his movements have improved after losing his memories? The beings that surpass the unthinkable. Did he really lose his memories? To Allen, it was the existence of that ck haired young man, calmly slicing open the monsters. Neal. A long timepanion and the strongest hero of humanity. By sacrificing his memories, he managed to manifest a single strike surpassing the limits against an elite demon a month ago. In return, he lost all memories on top of every power from the dragon lord. All that he had left was a single holy sword, andpanions that he could not remember. Even the hero of salvation could never fight with calmness in this situation. The years of experience in battles were gone, and yet they were pushed into battle after battle without a rest. Allen, no, even Daisy and Zerva all thought this. That Neal would no longer have the power of a hero. DNeal has forgotten about us. Theres no way that he can fight anymore. All he is now is just a normal human. The day Neal opened his eyes again, Daily spoke in conviction. That Neal is so broken that he could no longer be the hero of salvation. So the decision that they have so cunningly agreed upon was not wrong. back then, yes, back then we thought like that. But not anymore. Allen swallowed down staring at the battlefield painted with blood. Shnnngg! The holy sword continued to emit starlight to overturn the corrupted soil. And the monsters the size of buildings fell without a shout. At a nce, it would seem that this was an annihtion from using one of the abilities of the holy sword starlight.. But that was not correct. Rather, its the opposite. The ck haired young man was carelessly cutting down the monsters like tofu with shining eyes. As if the abilities of the holy sword were entertaining and testing it out. And the monsters that carelessly allowed him to approach were cut down with an unknown technique. Even Allen, with great skills in swordsmanship could not figure out what was happening. The movement of the sword can be seen, but the results were just iprehensible. Why does it look like the sword is pulling the space around it? Allen continued to dazedly stare at that dumbfounding annihtion. But that was the same for Daisy and Zerva as well. Just based purely on techniques alone, the hero became stronger after losing his memories. Is that even possible? Even after sacrificing all the powers and even memories to the dragon lord? Daisy murmured in disbelief. Looks like they were on a battlefield for a few decades. Neal only has a few years of experience. Even without the memory loss, its rather iprehensible. Zerva replied in bewilderment. Both of them were in a state of perplexity of that unexinable ability like Allen. Of course the potential of a hero for fighting the demon lord was never set in ce, and it was a positive sign for the skills to improve so drastically. Since the hero was the only one who can y the demon lord. And thats the issue. But, the only issue was that among all thepanions, no one wanted the hero to seed. Allens face was filled with despair. Damn it. Why, Neal. Why did you be so strong now, of all times? This situationpletely deviated from the original ns. This could not result in the happy ending to the end that would eventuallye. Not to thepanions, but also to the rest of humanity. ?- -? IT was not too difficult to figure out the abilities of the holy sword. While implicitly pressuring thepanions and asking them where the enemies are located, they immediately replied. And once we entered the demonic realm, monsters the size of buildings were tearing each others throats. After that, I stopped calcting and headed straight into the battle. And won each battle by using every ability of the holy sword. You got the achievement Monster Annihtion. +4 on durability. Currently, every stat has been locked due to the penalty of the special trial. Permanent raise of stats can not be applied currently. The stats can be increased normally after thepetition of the trial. Even with the lowered stats, I found that it was not difficult to defeat the monsters. None of my skills nor powers were locked away, and I had countless techniques that I learned over time. Even the martial arts that I learned from watching over the shoulder of Nam Gunghyuk and White Crane Sword Saint performed as it should too. So there was no way that the battle would be an issue. How befitting of the name demonic realm. Of course, that did not mean that the level of battles was low. In the trials with the hard difficulty, this kind of level would be considered to be a bonus stage. From the corpses of the monsters that look like it was made by a five year olds y dough project, a ck smoke appeared. As usual, the mark of necromancy appeared. Without hesitation, I absorbed them all. You have absorbed the soul of the monster Luderune. You have absorbed the soul of the monster Maiyah. You have absorbed the soul of the monster Mimiruk. Proficiency increased by 0.19%. But I did not immediately convert the absorbed souls into stats. After all, seeing the speed of the proficiency increase, it wouldnt really do much to convert it into stats anyways. I was nning on keeping it, and use itter as the necromancy barrier. And it was not like increasing the stats would benefit me at this point. i guess this is it for this areas monsters. After confirming that there were no more enemies to fight, I slowly reviewed the situation from before. Starlight, Desire, and Punishment. Among the three abilities of the holy sword, I tried out two of them. Starlight and Punishment. And since Desire was making an offering to a god, it felt ufortable. So I did not bother using it, let alone checking the descriptions of its abilities. But that gave me more time to do extensive testing of other abilities. Through the battles with the monsters, the ability of starlight was akin to an explosive attack. Once starlight is activated, lights like stars will flood out of the holy sword to cause an explosion. To be honest, an area technique this efficient was a first for me. Almost to the point that it would be more efficient than using Light Saber through counter shield. However, the only issue with the starlight was that it was uncontroble. I could not stop the starlight from being emitted, and I could not choose the direction that it chooses to burst out to. Once the starlight is created, it bursts forth to explode without an exception. Maybe its because the holy sword is the medium How difficult. Punishment had an ability no less than the Starlight. I could feel the effect of every stats being raised, and I could also understand the description stating that I could use the power of the dragon. Once Punishment is activated, during that time, mana is not depleted. I could not activate any techniques surpassing my overall mana quantity, but anything and everything below that. Furthermore, when using the power of the dragon, my body was also considerably enhanced. The quality of mana was also different from before. As if to say that the power of the dragons from the legends are like this. But the only issue is that this ability can only be used towards monsters and demonic races. If I were to absorb this skill through Sword Sense, its limits would also be duplicated. So it was difficult to decide on which exclusive effect to choose to absorb, Starlight could not be controlled, and Punishment had too many limits. Of course, Ive only used these abilities only once each, so I did not yet make a decision. I need to make a decision before this trial ends. I will have to make a quick decision in preparation of the time that I will end up having to make a decision. Well, I bet with a few more battles, I should figure out which ability to absorb. I walked towards the rest of thepanions after shaking off the blood from the holy sword. They were all staring at me in disbelief. Understandable. Since itd be difficult for someone with amnesia to go around killing monsters like that. It was an expected reaction. However, in mypanions expressions, it was not only disbelief that was included. Repulsiveness, Nervousness, Guilt, Tension, etc. In their unstable expressions, I could read multiple negative feelings. To the point it was rather unpleasant. But even in that ufortable situation, I pretended as if nothing was wrong and looked towards them. To be honest, it was nothing more than just a face. But the ones who got deceived did not think that this was not fake. Neal. Did you, perhaps, not lose your memory?. Allen asked with a shaky voice shifting his eyes to avoid mine. D,did your memories return through the blessings of the Holy Sword? And those new battle abilities are from the Dragon Lord? And at the same time, Zerva spoke, stroking his beard in an attempt to appear collected. W,what a relief it is, Neal. N,now you can finally go fill the demon lord. The Dragon Lord mustve blessed us for the sake of humanity. Followed with Daisy trying to change the mood while ying with the handle of her bow. At that, the other twopanions mustve realized their mistake and smiled to act naturally. But Multiple hostile enemies detected near the user. Activating Automatic Tracking the exclusive effect of Tracking Blindfold(B+). Thepanions seen through the Tracking Blindfold were showing hostility stronger than ever before. . Seeing those repulsive smiles filled with lies, I thought. Now I finally see what this quest will be about. I could no longer hesitate to decide on which ability to absorb from the holy sword. How interesting. I felt as if I could predict the ending of the 16th floors trial. [To be continued.] Chapter 146: Chapter 146:
The atmosphere suddenly turned tense. Perhaps it was because I murmured out loud of how interesting things were turning out, Allens face turned pale. I-interesting? Nea, what do you mean by that? Daisy and Zerva shared simr sentiments as Allen. Fighting with these monsters are interesting. Thats all I meant. I continued on calmly staring at those expressions seeking denial. And unfortunately, my memories are yet to return. What was spoken waspletely the opposite of what I meant But that was enough to resolve the anxiety and tenseness of thepanions. I-is that so? O-of course,mitting such a massive one-sided annihtion must be fun indeed. After all, humans tend to believe in what they want to believe in. Or perhaps, the hero of the fallen world already had a peculiar personality like this. On my way here in the carriage, I tried to understand Neals personality. They said that he was a battle crazed lunatic. So this should be enough as an answer for them. I stretched my neck and spoke as if I was tired. But I dont think I can continue fighting today since Im too tired. At that, Zerva nodded with a calm expression. Thats understandable. Even a hero does not have unlimited mana and divine powers after all. So ill be resting for the rest of today. Its not like we are nning on proceeding without resting a single day. Please do so. Were near the entrance of the demonic realm anyways, so we should be able to set up camp for the night as soon as we exit. Then its decided. Lets go out. To be honest, dering that you need rest after a single battle was enough to be cursed at. The ones who reached a level of super human needs to camp out from being tired? It was the height of profligacy And since the demonic realm is an enemy territory, if your traces cant be erased, its unwise to retreat. At least a gesture of attempting the traces should be taken. Even more so if the holy sword is used to leave traces of divine powers. But thepanions agreed to my suggestion without a care. Youre right, we should rest at the beginning of the demonic realm. As Neal said, we should rest for tonight. Daisy quietly spoke with a smile which urged the otherpanions to move quickly. What a relief. I thought while looking at that scenery a step away from them. At least I wont have to kill them here. Even considering that demon lord with unknown identity and abilities on top of its underlings. I should be able to kill them allter without a problem. Taking care of them can be something for ater urrence. With an organized mind, I moved away. A premonition for a fierce battle, which I havent felt in a while, could be felt. ?- -? As soon as the night fell, I left my tent. . After expanding my Aura Sense through the Mana Circuit, I could not feel the presence of mypanions. I quietly left the area towards an unnamed mountain outside of the camp. It was an average sized mountain, but good enough to be used as a training ground. This should be good enough. After deciding that I was far enough from the camp, I unsheathed the sword from my waist. Holy Sword. The legendary sword said to be only bestowed upon the apostle of Dragon Lord was in my hands. Well, appearance-wise, it looked rather inefficient, but its effects were inconceivable. Starlight, Desire, Punishment. The three exclusive effects of the holy sword demonstrated an insane amount of power. And using it in battle further proved just how ridiculous it was. But this holy sword was like an event limited item that can only be used within the 16th floor. It would be best to absorb one of the abilities through Sword Sense. So. If all goes ording to n, this will be uselesster on. Now it was time to make a proper choice. Starlight and Punishment. I thought hard for a few hours, but neither choice would be the most efficient. Activating skill Sword Sense. You can select an item within the de category to learn it as a form of a skill. I was once again reminded of how greedy humans can be. Selection Complete. You have learned the skill Starlight (S-). Remaining use of the skill Sword Sense C 1/2 After all. Selection Complete. You have learned the skill Punishment (S-). Remaining use of the skill Sword Sense C 0/2 I didnt bother choosing one of the two, but I ended up choosing both of them. With no certainty to get a skill like Sword Sense ever again, I ended up choosing both abilities of the Holy Sword to absorb. But surprisingly, I had no regrets. Sword Sense mightve been wasted with this, but the Holy Sword also had abilities far beyond other ones. With the effect of Punishment raising every stat, on top of using the power of dragons, it was an excellent ability. Youve exhausted the use of skill Sword Sense. Skill Sword Sense is Destroyed. Seeing the skill get destroyed made me disheartened, but it soon disappeared. It was rather reced by joy from seeing the new skills in my status window. At that moment. The Dragon Lord frowning seeing that a puny existence is possessing the holy sword. As before, an unexpected message from a god appeared. . It surprised me quite a bit due to its abruptness. But its never good to react too excessively. While I remained calm trying to not appear as surprised, a new message appeared. The Dragon Lord has realized that the holy sword possessed by the puny existence is a fake. The Dragon Lord takes back the attention it gave to the puny existence. They gave me attention and took it back on their whim. What. Even is this I was rather skeptical, but it was best to not attract the attention of divine entities. I took relief in the fact that the attention was gone, and confirmed the skills by opening up the status window. So theres no change in the ability. Starlight, and Punishment did not get any change in its abilities. The description was the same as well. There was nothing else that changed from the previous time that I used the Fire Dragons Eyes to check. Even if I couldnt use Punishment, After trying out Starlight, I could immediately tell what changed from before. Shhhing! Oh. Now, starlight was not limited to the sword, but I could manifest it anywhere I wanted. It could be manifested through my hand, and as long as it was within 10m of me, I could create it to my will. However, it was difficult to control as it had a tendency of wanting to explode as soon as it got manifested. Now thats a bit of a let down. Once Starlight was activated, precise control was difficult. Almost like the explosion of carbonation after shaking a can of soda. In the same manner, its direction could not be altered either. I thought that it was due to using the holy sword as a medium, but rather, it was the opposite. So the holy sword was actually controlling its directions. In battles, Id have to use Starlight pretty strongly. And with these unbiased explosions, Id also have to face the consequences of its explosions. . After thinking about it standing still, I realized that this did not matter with the current issues at hand. I wonder if I can use divine powers to control the explosion itself? Now if this explosion urred right after manifestation like a can of soda, things would be different. Then what if I were to create a type of a shell to hold the explosion as soon as I manifest the Starlight? Of course it wouldnt be an easy feat, but if I seeded, I could at least slow down the explosions. And even control the direction of the power as well. Ill have to test it out at least once. After activating the Starlight at the minimum strength, I tested out the theory. Activating skill Starlight. Shhhing! To conclude, this attempt was a great failure. Booom! When I tried to create a shell using mana, it exploded even bigger than what I manifested. Its repelling force was so great that even I did not expect it. My palms that manifested Starlight were half gone, and my ears were ringing. Activating skill Ashy Blood. . Of course, the skill ashy blood immediately activated itself to heal all the injuries and pain. But, a wave of irritation came over me due to the new problem. If I were to control Starlight with mana, it will create a reaction. I attempted this a few more times, but the results did not improve. Ive put my body through multiple injuries to try more things, but Starlight and mana did not have a goodpatibility. What if this doesnt work? I worried that I wasted my Sword Sense for a useless exclusive effect. But after a few more tries, I could understand a new fact. That Starlight did not react to divine powers. So I cant use mana, but divine powers are okay. It was rather absurd, but I assumed that it was because they both had simr affinity. With no reactions to hinder me, I was able to create a shell to cover the Starlight. But because my divine powers were painted ck due to my potential of grim reaper, its appearances were rather ominous. At least it didnt explode. However, an issue arose. Pzzzzt! The starlight trapped by the shell started to run amok and the intensity of light increased. And the moment the starlight shone through the ck shell. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is asking what on earth is this. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is bbergasted by the fact that you managed to control an untameable power. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is looking brightly towards this acquisition of new technique. Rounds of messages appeared from the administrators. Disregarding those messages, I concentrated on manipting the orbs of starlight slowly. Seeing the wavering of the starlight made me frown. If this explodes, I definitely wont be safe. To think that I could enhance the skill in this way. I most likely wont self-destruct with this, but Ill have to use a few of the items or use up the souls Ive absorbed previously. And thats not something I wanted. Like opening the can of well shaken soda, I opened a hole from the shell created solely from divine powers. Towards the direction of the sky so no traces will be left. And Crash! Followed with the sound of an explosion hitting the eardrums, a Dark light shot through the sky. The clouds covering the moon were pierced through, and a bright moonlight of a full moon shone down. Almost as if the darkness itself was dispelled. ?- -? . It was beyond my expectations. I couldnt find any other words to describe this technique. Perhaps because the dark divine powers functioned as the shell, the starlight was also affected? I wasnt sure, but I was sure that it was rather positive. After seeing the bright moonlight, I let out augh. I guess I dont have to use the Counter Shield to counterattack anymore. It seems that I managed to create a battle ready technique in a while. If I can rbine this method, then the Light Saber that can only be used with the Counter Shield can be reborn as well. It was not a prediction but a certainty. You got the achievement The Heir of Dragon Lord.. Youve acquired the Special Power Dragon Transformation. Currently, you are unable to obtain the power due to the limits of the special assignment. The powers can be obtained normally after thepetition of the trial. And I am assuming that the technique that I just did fulfilled some type of condition as I got the achievement of Heir of Dragon Lord. Dragon Transformation? And it was satisfactory to get special power as the achievement reward. The Dragon Lord is perceiving challenger Han SungYeuns existence. The Dragon Lord is widening their eyes at challenger Han SungYeuns achievement. The Dragon Lord is greatly interested in challenger Han SungYeun. Another bothersome entity mightve been added. The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challenger Han SungYeun. I decline. The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challenger Han SungYeun. I decli. The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challenger Han SungYeun. . The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challenger Han SungYeun. The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challenger Han Sung. The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challe. The most bothersome entity out of all. [To be continued.] Chapter 147: Chapter 147:
Dragon Lord. ording to the story of the 16th floor, it seems like its a divine entity with the task of protecting this world But to be honest, my previous experience of nearly being killed by multiple gods never painted me a positive impression of gods. On top of that, the fact that not providing proper assistance to the hero with the task of saving the world added onto my negative sentiment towards them. So I tried my best to avoid their attention on me by not using the exclusive effect of Desire on the holy sword, and did my best to not get involved. however The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challenger Han SungYeun. The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challenger Han Sung. The Dragon Lord is proposing the position of apostle to challe. All that effort went to waste. A bothersome entity got involved. Really, seeing it bother me without a rest gave me a migraine. Even offering me the position of apostel. And to tell the truth, divine entities are honestly just a collection of problems. Ive never had a good experience being involved with divine beings. Ive nearly died because of god of proof, and that god of battle came under descent, and the god of death felt ominous for some reason. They do not affect things positively in my experience. The Dragon Lord is questioning why a puny existence is daring to reject the position of apostle. And these questions further proved my point that theyll be very bothersome. I have no intention of bing an apostle. At least this god has not harmed me yet, so I did not show hostility towards them. Since theres no point in adding an enemy in this situation. The Dragon Lord is saying that youre making a wrong decision. Without replying, I sheathed the holy sword. Perhaps that irked them, since the dragon lord left a message. The dragon lord is dering that youll see their greatness and end up bing their apostle one day. It was an absurd statement, but there was no need to pay attention to it. After all. The god of proof is making fun of the way dragon lord is begging for attention. The god of dark is telling the dragon lord to get lost if youre rejected. The Dragon Lord is disappearing after telling challenger Han SungYeun to think about it one more time. The two gods that were spectating from the sides had chased the dragon lord away. Standing still for a while, I realized that all the gods have left. Its not that the tower gave me a message, but I could instinctively tell that their gazes on me have disappeared. . It was something that I could never feel before, but I knew right away why I could now. This must also be a change from divine powers.. With the rank of divine power going up, the affinity was also set, and many other things have changed. To the point where I couldnt tell all the changes myself. I wasnt sure, but I believed that my divine powers were able to detect that divine entities were looking towards my way. I was already surprised enough that the potential of the grim reaper painted my divine powers ck, but to think that this would also be possible. Once again, I was reminded of my growth. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch isplimenting the immovable belief of the contractor and feeling relief. Administrator White Crane Sword Saint is proud of the contractors will. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World thinks that your choice is interesting. The administrators sent out messages as they mustve also felt the disappearing presences of divine entities. However, with no meaningful information, I chose to take my attention off of it. Instead, I activated Starlight by focusing once again. The ck divine powers surrounded the starlight, and the starlight increased its energy within the shell. I started to control the starlight like before. Ive seeded once so I didnt think that Id need to train more But since Im already here for training, I wanted to attempt to create multiple forms of starlight. The night had just begun after all. Lets try this from the beginning. From now on, it was time to get more proficient in the technique itself. ?- -? After seeing the edge of the sun at the mountaintop, I immediately returned back to the camp. If anyone were to discover my absence from the camp, it would cause a headache. So when I returned as soon as possible to pretend that I just woke up, it managed to convince everyone. Because I chose to traverse through the mountains carefully, no one knew that I disappeared. However, one problem arose. It was. There must be a high ranking demon training around this area. Because the light from starlight was rather strong, there were few witnesses. They did not see me, so it was misunderstood as an elite demons training session.. If Allen, who stood watch the entire night, continued this misunderstanding, this issue would undoubtedly grow bigger. In one of the mountains far away, shes of light. You mustve hallucinated. No, really, something really s. hallucination. . I thought that it would be best to have them think that he hallucinated. And without hesitating, I immediately rejected everything Allen said during breakfast. And all the otherpanions didnt think much of it either. Ive seen articles at the magic tower about how regions near the demonic realm tend to have abnormal urrences due to the high density of demonic energy. It must be a phenomenon created by demonic energy rather than an elite demon. And hearing the magician Zerbas theory, it actually made sense. And logically, no elite demon would train in ces like this. They have a perfectly fine demonic realm to train at. And with Daisys follow-up point, Allen mustve also been convinced since he nodded. Well, thats also true . Around the time the day was ending, allpanions left the camp. Activating the exclusive effect Ecology Adaptation of the item Adventurers Handmade Gloves(B+). Quietly walking through the soils polluted with demonic energy within the demonic realm. Your mind will not corrode from demonic energy. +2 stats on mana in environments with high concentration of demonic energy. Because this location was polluted, just from being here wouldve drained my mentality. But in fact, with the adventurers handmade globes equipped, I began to adjust to the environment of the demonic realm. Of course, the otherpanions were frowning as if breathing itself was ufortable.. Well, its not like I can take care of theirfort, so it cant be helped. I didnt bother thinking about helping the ones with concealed hostility towards me. Their situation was not the most optimal, but at least they were not burdens in battles. No, rather. They didnt even get a chance to be a burden. Since I annihted every single demon that appeared Activating myth . And in that process, I tried a few different abilities. Activating the effect . All stats are permanently increased by 0.07. Currently, every stat has been locked due to the penalty of the special trial. Permanent raise of stats can not be applied currently. The stats can be increased normally after thepetition of the trial. Of the effect range of salvation from the myth. Activating the effect No followers are detected.The divine powers are not enhanced. And just who are categorized as the followers in the seeker ability. From the newly acquired myth, I managed to learn many things. It seems that salvation is activated when rescuing any weaker ones, while enlightenment will not activate unless they dont serve me. Of course this was not all that I learned. I also learned about the phenomena that urs when applying divine powers in my eyes. It was one of the abilities that I tried out in the waiting room that allowed me to see ck flow of energy and spots Now I realized what this divine power maniption was allowing me to see. It must be a type of weak spot detector. I realized when using this viewing method towards the monsters. Although I am still unsure if this is creating weak spots or finding them. But I could see the weak spots of living beings and non living beings alike. Although the meaning of the dark flow of energy still evaded me, the ck spots were definitely weak spots. Just stabbing the spots or touching it was enough to destroy it. Just like this. Activating skill Storm Sword. Wind affinity is imbued on the de due to the skill Storm Sword (C+). Fwoosh! The moment the end of the holy sword met the dark spots on the side of the monster, its ability was activated. DKieeeeeeeeck! The one horned demon dog guarding the ck spire screamed with its body fracturing. Crack! The body of the demon dog started to break like its life forces were all spent while spilling ck blood. The demon dog attempted to crush me with its monstrous size angrily. But with blood flowing out of the fractures that spread to all parts of its body, it soon fell. Boom! It seemed to be the strongest monster yet, but it immediately died once attacked with divine powers. And its not that I used a lot of my strength, but only a small amount of divine powers were used to stab the ck spot. But just that simple move was enough to kill the guard dog of the spire where the demon lord resided. I felt a sense of dj vu It feels just like when I used the power of death when I was in the state of discipleship. I realized that it was really simr to the state of discipleship I was in back at the 15th floor. Now this was not a power and just maniption of divine powers unlike back then, where I controlled the mana of nature to manifest the power. perhaps it was because the divine powers were affected by the potential of grim reaper? I wasnt sure, but I felt as if I was close to an answer. Habitually shaking the sword to clean it off, I looked towards thepanions behind me. Now the guard dog of the demon lords castle is gone, so we can proceed.. Despite all this time, thepanions still held hostility towards me. The only difference was that the more power I showed, the more their expressions turned sour. . Like now. All thepanions remained silent while looking around nervously. As if they didnt expect this to be a reality. I held back my sneer from their anxiety that they no longer hid. And like normal, I pretended to see nothing and sheathed the holy sword to touch the door of the spire. Then lets go in now. And Rumble! I pushed the stone door of the spire open. ?- -? I thought long and hard while proceeding with the 16th floors trial. About the reason of this trialspletion requirement being making a choice that you will not regret. The goal seemed to be to defeat the demon lord, so why was the requirement to make a decision that I will not regret? And eventually, I managed to learn of the background of the setting. The inner workings of the 16th floor were rather absurd. To think that every singlepanion of the hero was a traitor. I stated coldly while looking at every one of them. At the very least, this world lost its opportunity to be saved. I already had a hunch back when I detected their hostility through the Tracking Blindfold. That everypanion of the hero were trashy parasites that used the hero as a scapegoat. However, it was definitely unexpected to have them all point their weapons at me the moment we stepped a foot inside the castle. I thought that theyd attack me when I least expected. They sure were impatient. I rxed my body and asked them. Since when, and why did you decide to betray the hero? I was expecting the betrayal. But I still couldnt understand why they would betray the hero when the demon lord had to be defeated to save the world. The archer Daisy spoke. Do you think were doing this because we want to? We had no choice! To save the world, this was our only option! She spit out with a wave of emotion. Had no choice.. How absurd. I looked towards thepanions, no, the now enemies with a questioning look. But the ones who answered my inquiry were not my enemies. How foolish. Nothing will change from asking them, O hero. A handsome man with a single ck horn and a paleplexion spoke, seated at the throne. Since they are fulfilling their ends of the contract with me. Are you the demon lord? That I am. Ah, back when you defeated that elite demon weve seen each other. did you approach them while the hero lost consciousness? I dont know why you talk as if its not about you, but Ill say that you got that right for now. I finally learned every hidden background of the 16th stage. So you made everyone except the hero a traitor. It was not surprising. Power and mana. I assumed that he mustve forcibly made a contract with them with the threat of death. If not that, there are still countless ways to instigate betrayal. But, it was a mystery as to why he didnt kill the unconscious hero. And the demon lord, seated on the throne answered that question by a whisper. Now thats just my preference. . You think its a lie? No. The skill Fire Dragons eyes detects that there are no lies in the words of the opponent. I could see the truth behind his words by using the lie detecting ability. However, the Fire Dragons Eyes can not detect the hidden truth I decided after contemtion. But that cant be all. They mustve had another reason for leaving the hero, who could recover their memories, alone. And since the hero with the holy sword must be a force to be reckoned with, preference alone would not determine whether or not the hero lives. That is not the wrong answer. I definitely have other reasons outside of my preference. Well, to put it simply, this entire situation is the offering for the Demon God. The demon lord bbered on as if in a good mood. Just like how youve gone through multiple hardships to be acknowledged as a hero, I too am working through penances to be an official apostle. He acted as if he had absolute control over this situation. And it is my penance to lead you here to kill you. As if I was a being that could easily be killed any time. Ah, but, itd be best for you to not resist. I did not like that. As long as you die, the Demon God will not destroy this world.. But even after seeing my emotionless expression, the demon lord continued to speak. I made a contract with them. That the world will not be destroyed once the hero is dead. It was a taunting voice as if to bring out my reactions. If the world can be saved by using the savior, then saviors wont be needed. I quietly thought while the demon lord continued to speak. I wonder what youre feeling right now. Are you devastated, wrathful? You shouldve taken care of yourpanions. He was right. If the hero managed hispanions properly, this situation couldve been avoided. If the hero did not sacrifice his memories when he fought with that elite demon, and if he didnt sacrifice the powers that he got from the dragon lord, this joke of a y couldve ended differently. But the hero did not. He truly served the dragon lord as a god and defeated the elite boss by sacrificing everything he had. If anyone is able to joke about the life of a hero, who lived their entire lives for the sake of someone else, then they should be deemed as an ignorant person. . Right things are simply right. Even if the hero met a foolish ending, whats important is not the ending but the process. He made a sincere attempt to save the world, and sacrificed everything to save hispanions. So I had no intention to make light of the heros choice. But Everything youve said so far were not to my tastes, but. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is watching over your choice. That is not a decision for me. Ill tell you three things that you got wrong.. I concentrated my will on the divine powers umted within my heart. And by connecting the paths, I led the divine powers towards my hands like manipting the flow of water. The divine powers with the affinity of death surrounded my hand, and it let out a blinding light. Rumble! The starlight filled with the power of the dragon resonated to the divine power announcing death and let out a thundering noise. Activating skill Starlight. Originally, Starlight could not be controlled, thus it shouldve exploded right on my hand. S-Starlight? How can you use the power that can only be used with the holy sword? But it did not. With training that continued on for days, I managed to create the technique that I wanted. By condensing the starlight that tried to run amok like a wild horse, its destructibility was increased. Of course, that process took up arge amount of divine powers to the point where my heart felt like it would explode. The orb of divine powers on my hand emitted brighter light as the time went on. As difficult as it was, it was worth it. Activating skill Punishment. When the skill is activated, +7 on all stats. When the skill is activated, mana will not deplete. You can use the power of dragons and mana is increased by 100%. And with the power that bubbled within my body, my mouth curved slightly upward. The body that felt like wet cotton became lighter, and the mana stats surpassed before the relegation. Furthermore, no matter how much mana I used, its amount never depleted.. Truly, even if it only works against demons and monsters, what a beast of an ability. Savoring that enjoyable feeling, I opened my mouth. With everything prepared, it was time to correct the demon lord. First mistake, is that I am not the real hero. W-what? H-hold up! Wait up, lets talk about! Second mistake, is that Im not the person you call Neal. Stop right here! If you dont, you will end up dying! And the world too! Third mistake, is that I dont give a damn whether this world gets destroyed or not. The starlight orb on my hand started to boil uncontrobly with blinding light. And to add. I could no longer tame the starlight that reached its limits. But there was nothing to worry about. Since I made sure to collect every soul through Necromancy the entire way here. If anything went wrong, that would protect me. You shouldve killed the hero a long time ago. And without holding back, I released the orb filled with white heat. In the end, this is the result. Keeeeeeen! The starlight of divine powers exploded and swept up its surroundings. [To be continued.] Chapter 148: Chapter 148:
To tell the truth, there was no need to activate Starlight so strongly. just creating a small opening on the orb would;ve been plenty to create the effect I wanted. But I didnt. I was curious. Just how strong would Starlight at full force be? I just finished gathering up plenty of souls to be used as the Necromancys barrier. And so I knew that Id be fine even if I released Starlight at full force. The issue was that the technique was beyond my expectations. The souls have absorbed the damage towards the user. You have used up the soul of of the monster Luderune. You have used up the soul of the monster Maiyah. You have used up the soul of the monster Mimiruk. Countless numbers of monster souls vanished within a blink of an eye, and my entire body was covered by a ck smoke. And as if to demonstrate the effects of starlight, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of something melting. I held back a groan. If Ized around in gathering up souls, I wouldve been in danger too. Starlight was a skill beyond my expectations. I now realized just how crazy it is to release Starlight which has been reinforced to its max. This must be the reason why the demon lord cried out to me to stop. Of course, I was certain that Id be safe, and I was, but I couldnt help but feel a cold shiver run down my back. G, guh, gahh. Y-you damned. At the center of the half destroyed spire came a vengeful voice. So when I turned my head towards the wonder of that voice, I could see the demon lord with burned injuries ring at me while holding over his heart. Just what on earth are you thinking?! Did i not say? That I made a contract with yourpanions! As long as you die, the world can be saved! To that, I half-heartedly answered. Wouldnt it be the same if I kill the demon lord? The goal of the hero is to kill the demon lord in the first ce. One of the goals of the trials for this floor was to kill the demon lord and to prevent the manifestation of the demon god. Of course, that goal was a fake, and I had to consider the betrayal of thepanions as well But the answer at a nce, was to kill the demon lord. Do you think that I dont have a backup-n? If I die here, the demon god will manifest here! Do you think that Im the only apostle?! But the demon lord denied that option as well. I tried to use the Fire Dragons Eyes to make sure that he wasnt lying, but. The skill Fire Dragons eyes detects that there are no lies in the words of the opponent. The answer was that simply, there was nothing like lies involved at all. to think that the demon god will descend if the demon lord is killed. What a depressing setting of a trial. Then it meant that it was meaningless for the hero to set out to kill the demon lord in the first ce. I didnt even want to think about the possibility of this trial not being a trial, and being in this situation for real. However. So what? The trial of the 16th floor was a mere replica of a real life event, and it was not going to get me depressed. My nonchnt attitude made the demon lord yell in surprise. T-the world will be destroyed! There are enough casualty to summon the demon god! This puny world can easily be destroyed! So what do you want me to do about it? Wha- what on earth? What does the destruction of this world have anything to do with me? . The demon lord opened his mouth and closed it back up silently, but this was the reality. He vehemently spoke with an angerced voice. You! You truly were not a hero?! Thats what I said. How can you use those powers even if youre not the apostle of the dragon lord?! Just what are you?! I couldnt really find an appropriate answer for that, so after a second of hesitation, I told him my current identity. A challenger And with that, I unsheathed the holy sword. Activating the power Blood Demon Hole. Activating the power Sword Silhouette Border. Activating skill Sky Break. The limit on breakable things are dispelled. Fwoosh! As if the de was set on fire, a crimson spark wrapped the sword along with a purple hue. Because Punishment was still activated, no matter how much mana Ive put into the sword, my mana levels remained the same. It was worth using the Sword Sense to acquire it. It wouldve been amazing if it was usable against beings other than monsters and demons But to ask for this cheat-like ability without limits would be asking for too much so I decided to be satisfied. And it was the moment I moved to kill the demon lord. The demon lord flinched seeing my approach, and quickly began to speak. You insolent! And here I was merciful to let you live, what are you waiting for?! Before I could understand what he was talking about, I could detect arrowsing from the left. Activating the skill Fire Dragons eyes. I could not feel the presence of arrows, but with the fire dragons eyes, surprise attacks had no meaning to me. What is this. Fwoosh! I snatched the arrow that reached near my head using my left hand and frowned. Dont tell me. As if negative premonitions alwayse true, arrows of ice came from the right side this time. Activating skill Lightning Sword Ki. Crash! After destroying the ice arrows with a single attack, I could finally understand the situation. Now this is unexpected. I tsked after seeing the ones that appeared amidst the broken rubbles of the spire. I attempted to sweep them up using starlight because it was bothersome trying to fight them But it seems that before the starlight reached them, the demon lord mustve protected them as all thepanions, no, the ones who used to bepanions, were in good shape. I stood there watching them, to eventually hear a voice. Please just die peacefully. If you live, this world will be destroyed. Zerva, who lost his left arm, spoke holding onto his staff. You bastard! If youre alive, then everyone dies! Please, just die! Allen, who was behind me growled while ring at me. Neal! Y-youre a hero! Please think logically! Daisy pleaded while pulling back her bowstrings. I replied coldly to that. You cant even sacrifice yourself and yet youre trying to sacrifice someone else. Without hesitation, I activated the power that I got from the 15th floor. I had no reason to face them. Youre not worth my time. My goal was to kill the demon lord, so what good was it to face the traitors? I had no intention of prolonging this battle. Activating the power sh Steps. sh Steps. It was a power that allowed me to move rapidly across space. Of course, its not that Im teleporting between spaces, but moving so fast that it looks like I am teleporting. But that was enough. Wha, what?! To send off the head of the demon lord within a blink of an eye. The demon lord attempted to avoid my swing by twisting his body, but I was faster. sh! With a sound of a clean cut, the head of the demon lord fell to the ground. Sword strike that is imbued with multiple skills and powers are unblockable if you cant avoid it. And unless you had a cheat-like ability like resurrection, you could not recover from it. After all. Activating the myth . Applying the effect on divine attacks. Applying the effect on divine attacks. The myth that I acquired from previous trials prevented any kind of regeneration effect. Along with the effect of ying whats considered evil, the strike became stronger. You have absorbed the soul of the demon lord Raymond. Proficiency increased by 3.74%. With no signs of regeneration, the demon lords body fell to the ground. Confirming the selection of challenger Han Sungyeun. Confirmed to be a unregrettable choice. And Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 16. The message of trialpletion followed. As a reward, you can apply the Absolute Indestructibility affinity to an item through the administrator Hero of a Fallen World. Absolute indestructibility affinity. After days of trial, I could finally get what I wanted. Once the absolute indestructibility affinity was applied to Blood Demon Sword, then Dam Cheonwoo could also be repaired. On top of that, I could most likely receive multiple buffs from it as well. As I thought, it was the best option to choose this quest. Please move to the waiting area. No more further rewards were provided. But to tell the truth, the reward I got was already unproportional to the trial, so I had noints. And once I moved my leg to cross the portal, a voice was heard. Dear lord. Just what on earth. When I turned my head, I could see them slouched down from the shock over the death of the demon lord. I-its all over now the world will be destroyed. The world ha, hahaha. Zervaughed like a manic to the point it looked like he was sobbing. However, in the history that this trial was based on, they most likely were unable to kill the hero. Which is why the title of the administrator was Hero of a Fallen World. Most likely, the hero got chosen by the tower before death, or got selected by the tower while on the run. And what follows is pretty predictable. Since the hero couldnt be killed, the contract that the demon lord made wouldve been invalidated. And the world got destroyed just like that, while the hero regained his strength while climbing the tower. Of course, with no world to return back to, the hero mustve stayed in the tower. . I had nothing akin to a feeling towards them. Anger, or disgust. Nothing remained. Just a sentiment that they look like walking corpses. With no effort of resisting, they fell in the hope of being able to survive. Despite each individual having decent skills, they set a limit on themselves and chose betrayal. Despite having an absolute ally named hero, the apostle of dragon lord, it almost seemed foolish to see them act like that. But that was the extent of it. That was all that I felt towards them. They werent even worth killing. Even if I killed them, my stats would remain the same since theyre not strong enough of an opponent. And even their skills were not attractive enough. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is quietly looking at the ones he used to callpanions. I stood still and thought about what Id do if I was the hero. What if this was not a trial but a real life situation? I could soone to a conclusion. Even if this was a real life situation, nothing would change. My choice wouldve most likely remained the same. Even if I had to go against a god, I wouldve done my best to face them. Doing everything I could as the apostle of the dragon lord, and wouldve prevented the descent of the demon god. Just like how I fought against the god of battle. So there was no need for further thought. After taking a step, I moved towards the portal at the center of the destroyed spire. And Postponing transfer to the waiting room. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is choosing the reward. Entering the divine sanctuary of the hero. I smiled looking at the message. Now it was time to getpensated for my efforts. [To be continued.] Chapter 149: 17th Floor (1) ————-? Chapter 149: 17th Floor (1) -?
After the end of the 16th floors trial, and the moment I moved into the portal. Postponing transfer to the waiting room. Administrator Hero of a Fallen World is choosing the reward. Entering the divine sanctuary of the hero. The first thing that I saw was a stone statue. A dragon stone statue that youd see in western mythologies were in the middle of the hall. And seeing the pirs surrounding that statue, this building was akin to a temple. And it most likely was a temple. After all. Hey, not there, over here. Since the administrator of this area was an apostle of the dragon lord. Once I turned my head towards the source of the voice, I could see a tall, good looking blond man. Neal. He was the original hero of the 16th floors story And the one who managed to climb up the tower above the 40th floor to be reborn as an administrator. You have two contractors so I bet youre pretty used to divine sanctuary, but do you have anything you want to ask me? He spoke while resting his hand above the handle of the de with a smile. At that, I stood quietly for a second before speaking. Are you the hero of the fallen world? Well, yes. Weve already spoken a few times, no? Rather than speaking with each other, it was more of a one sided message. Thats that. Dont mind the smaller details. How boring. . Keeping my silence at the lighthearted personality of the hero did notst long. Ill get straight to the point. Please imbue the reward to both of my swords. I asked for the reward concisely. At that, Neal nodded and smirked. Youre just as honest to your desires as youve ever been. . Got it, got it, Ill get it done. You dont have to re at me like that. I just wanted to ask you a question, so dont worry. A question? It was difficult to assume if this question would be about the apostle of dragon lord, or if it would be a personal question. While I was wracking my brain through what kind of question this would be, the heroughed. It wont be about the dragon lord. Just a personal question. Is that so? Then please feel free. Of course, whether I answer or not would be up to me. Id prefer it if you answer it Oh well, how about this? If you answer my question, Ill also answer a question of yours. Isnt it fair now? Okay. There was nothing to lose. At least, the one with the upper hand here was me. And I didnt have to worry about lies being told either. After all, I could always detect lies using the Fire Dragons Eyes. I can assume what youre thinking Well, its definitely not a bad thought. Neal mustve seen through me, as he lightly smiled and asked me his question. I want to know what your goal is. Just what is your goal to have you obsess over gaining power like that? At that, I felt as if my heart stopped. Climb the tower, obsess over growth and rewards, and just what do you n on aplishing with that? What i wanted to aplish. Ive never thought of that. All I wanted was to never be oppressed by someone else. Not even by divine entities. But I was to be asked if that was my goal, then it definitely was not a goal of mine. At that, I was confused. I. Do you want to be a god? No. its not that, I just. I just wanted to be stronger to not be oppressed. To not be oppressed, huh. Now thats interesting. Right, so what are you being oppressed by? I was about to answer that I was being oppressed by the other challengers who are also climbing the tower.. But thinking about it, I felt that the answer would be more fundamental than that. Neal stopped smiling and spoke. So youre walking on a path with no end. It hit the nail on the head. Right, at first, you thought that you didnt want to be oppressed by other or be despised by others. . But where is the end point? After surpassing everything, what are you trying to reach? I am not sure. But it is true that I do not wish to be oppressed by others. But that feeling is only a motivation. It does not determine your end point. Right now, all that you are is just a lump of desires. Neal suddenlyughed and spoke with a smile. But paradoxically, you managed to get to this point because there is no end point. Because there is no end point, you continued to grow. If there was an endpoint, you wouldve stopped bing stronger at some point. Neal nodded as if he was satisfied. Now I see why some gods find you interesting. As if he finally got the answer to a long lived question. With that, Neal signaled for me to ask him a question. Now its your turn. You can ask me anything. After a moment of thinking, I asked. Just why did youmission me that quest? Now thats unexpected. I thought that youd ask me about the tower. If not that, about the gods. Ive seen the tower put restrictions about leak of information before. Ah, so instead of risking restrictions, youd rather ask something else, is that right? Correct. There was a possibility that the tower would not put a restriction, but if it was a question unfitting the level of the floor that Im on, a restriction would definitely ensue. Just like how its always been. Neal too thought for a second, and agreed to my statement. I cant deny the possibility of that happening. The skill Fire Dragons Eyes detects that there are no lies in the words of the opponent. Thankfully, the Fire Dragons Eyes skill could detect the validity of the statement against the administrators, and just like my assumption, the tower could also put restrictions on our conversation. Well, Ill go ahead and answer your question. Neal smiled bitterly and answered concisely. Youre asking about the reason why administrators would pay a price tomission a quest, right? Its simple really. Almost absurdly simple. However, I could only frown at what was said after that. Its merely a regret of what has passed. Were wanting to see the potential itself. Just from that, it feels as though weve been saved. Thats the only reason? You could see it as just that, but to administrators, thats the only joy to life that we get. But why? Wouldnt it be more efficient to take care of the challengers that youre contracted with? White Crane Sword Saint has previously said that they wanted to change the past through me. But to sponsor powers, and sacrifice their assets tomission a quest to the challenger? But Neal rejected that thought immediately. Dont assume that every challenger is just as obsessed as you are to climb the tower. He immediately corrected my thinking process. Not every challenger has good abilities like you, nor do they have such strong will to climb the tower. With a lot of details. Rather, even if they did have the will to climb the tower, nothing would change. No matter how much you climb the tower, most of the administrators never saw any possibility of reaching the end. To sum it up, itd be impossible to aplish their wish, so there are no expectations given. It would be a different story if an excellent challenger can be found, but it was never easy to make a contract with such a skilled and able challenger. So the administrators themselves know that its impossible to change the past by creating a contract with a challenger. . The tower is an entity stronger than the divine entities, and never benevolent to anyone. All administrators have experienced it themselves. So rather than trying to change the past through the tower, itd be better to see the possibilities of the past through the quests? Yes. As much as I want to deny it, thats the truth. Now I finally understood. The reason why these beings called administrators are obsessing over quests. Administrators who make a contract with low-tiered challengers tend to fall into a slump from not being able to fulfill their wishes. Thus they tend to obsess over quests that can show them the possibilities of the past, and even with the costs, they paid it in full to see the new potentials of their past lives. After understanding that, I finally realized the towers intentions. Are they using the quests as bait for administrators to foster skilled challengers? To tell the truth, I was still unsure of why the tower wished to foster challengers like this But that was not something to worry over at this point, so I stopped thinking about it. p p! Neal ended the chat with a change of mood. Now, our questioning session is over, so lets wrap up the rewards. Special Power Dragon Lords Designated Vessel has chosen challenger Han Sungyeun as a user. Please choose the items to be imbued with Absolute Indestructibility affinity. I quickly took out the two items from the inventory. Selection Complete. Ive already chosen which two items to imbue the Absolute Indestructibility affinity. True Blood Demon Sword (A) has been imbued with affinity. Sky Breaking Sword (A+) has been imbued with affinity.. Fwoosh! The two swords on my hands vibrated as if enjoying the sensation of affinity imprinting. And The Soul Egos consciousness within the True Blood Demon Sword (A) is slowly recovering. Once the Soul Egos consciousness within the True Blood Demon Sword (A) has fully recovered, the limit on its activity will disappear. I raised the corner of my lips from the unexpected gain. Once Dam Cheonwoos consciousness returned, I had many questions for him. The knowledge that he gained past the 40th floor, on top of every other minor information, I nned to get them all. Till what point can he assist me in, what structure was murim like? And why did he choose to give up the position of administrator, etc.. Really now. There was too much to ask that my heart was pounding. Climbing the tower would be a bit easier from now on. While I was feeling satisfied at that, a new message popped up. Please move to the waiting area. Now it was time to really go back. Your trial has been fun to watch, and I gave the rewards. So I suppose that its time for you to depart now. Seems like it. You know, none of the other administrators would give out insane rewards like what I gave you, so make sure you thank We both got what we wanted so Id say theres no need for that. Youre really not cute at all. None whatsoever. If you have nothing else to say, then Ill take my leave. After sheathing both of my swords, I moved towards the portal. Now this is bonus information for you. Suddenly Neals serious voice came from behind. If you truly desire to surpass everything that oppresses you, do not ever doubt the tower. That voice that seemed to be somehow trembling, had a sense of guidance. Weve all failed to achieve our goals, but youll be different Han Sungyeun. After all. None of it wasprehensible, and. Youre one of the candidates that the tower is watching over, after all. I couldnt really ask him what he was talking about. Because once I turned my head towards him, Neals figure had already disappeared without a trace. . Seeing the empty heros temple, I clenched my fist. I wasnt sure of what he wanted to tell me, but I was sure of one thing at least. To never stop climbing the tower. I was nning on it anyway. I said towards the empty hall. Thank you for your advice. And Ill really take my leave now. Thanking the heros good will, I continued walking. Without a destination, but with unwavering steps. You have entered the 17th floor waiting room. It was time to climb the tower again.[To be continued.] Chapter 150: 17th Floor (2) ————-? Chapter 150: 17th Floor (2) -?
You have entered the 17th floor waiting room. All restrictions on stats are dispelled, stat umtion and power acquirement can be resumed as normal. I could feel the energy flowing through my body as soon as I returned to the waiting room. The reward I got during the 16th floor of permanent stat increase was applied. I felt a sense of relief with the restriction of stats being lifted, but that did notst long. After all Heir of Dragon Lord Rank : S An achievement that can be acquired through learning a technique of dragon category. As a reward, you can learn the power Dragon Transformation. I was interested in the achievement that I got in the 16th floors trial. It was an achievement that even gods would react to, so I made sure to look at the achievement requirements by opening up the achievement window, but What on earth is this? In the achievement requirement description, it would only say dragon category, and no further exnation was given. I couldntprehend why such achievement existed. Why did it? I thought that the tower and the gods had a sort of hostility towards each other. I couldnt understand why the tower created an achievement like this. Well, its not like I can ever guess what the towers intent But with this iprehensible Heir of Dragon Lord achievement, I couldnt think straight. Perhaps like the god of proof, it could be that the tower is not always hostile towards the gods. However, its not like my thinking would solve anything, so I chose to be satisfied with the reward, and call it a day. But I did manage to learn something good. That there are gods that the tower will not oppose, and even create achievements for them. It meant that there are more gods that are unlike the god of battle, that showed absolute hostility towards the tower. At that fact, I was relieved. After all, If a divine entity like god of battle can intervene in any trial as they wished, I would not survive. I dont know what type of powers the opposing divine entity would have, and if our affinities were on the opposite ends, my life would vanish like a candlelight by the window. But not every god is like the god of battle, and with a bit of protection from the tower, I managed to maintain my life. What the Hero of a Fallen World has said shed in my mind. Youre one of the candidates that the tower is watching over, after all. Candidate. He spoke as if I had the qualification to be at a certain position. My assumption was that the candidates that tower is watching over meant that I could reach to be a divine entity. And it was not a baseless assumption. Acquiring divine powers, meeting gods, and the direction of my growth is leaning more towards it. Furthermore, my potential of grim reaper has bloomed, and at this point, I was beyond what could be called a human. (TLs notes: the word grim reaper in korean literally means death god (??), so the grim reaper is a type of god.) if the tower has chosen me as a candidate, and if that candidate existed for the purpose of the tower, then this was bing much more interesting. Growth, rewards,petition. Seeing all the rites of passages that Ive gone through, the puzzles in my head started to paint a bigger picture. The trials of the tower would filter through challengers and select ones that could ascend to divinity. And ones who can pass that process and build experience are then selected as candidates to be led as divine entities. It was not impossible. But it felt a bitcking. I feel like Im missing that 1%. This time too, I could not draw the perfect conclusion. So I gave up on thinking and instead turned to assess all the newly acquired rewards. Trying to figure out the towers goals can be done after bing stronger First, I absorbed the soul that I got from the previous trial. Permanently increasing your stats using the soul of the Demon Lord Raymond. Strength increased by 3. Agility increased by 2. Stamina increased by 2. Mana increased by 6. Tenacity increased by 4. Unfortunately, his stills couldnt be absorbed, but. Divine powers detected in the soul of the Demon Lord Raymond. Power Divinity is activated by meeting the requirements. Attempting divinity extraction. At least I could extract divine powers. Divinity extraction sess. However, the divine power rank did not increase this time either. With a brief moment of disappointment. I quickly shook off that feeling to observe the newly acquired power. Dragon Transformation As soon as I spoke out loud the name of the power, an immediate reaction urred. Activating the special power Dragon Transformation. For 10 minutes, the total mana amount will increase twofold. For 10 minutes, some draconic features will be disyed. For 10 minutes, All abilities and interference rted to mana will improve. Crack, Crack! With my body changing, the amount of mana in the lower region of my body snowballed. I didnt think that it actually meant dragon transformation. Surprise onlysted a moment. With my reimed calmness, I quickly bought a mirror from the store and looked at my appearance. What kind of lizard-human hybrid is this.? The pupils turned vertical like those of reptiles and two small horns adorned my head. Furthermore, my body also changed to increase every sensation that could be felt. To the point it was almost overwhelming. But.. Nice. The new sensation that allowed me to feel everything clearly showed me a new world. Even without using Fire Dragons Eyes, i could see everything. And most importantly, my ability to control and manipte mana increased. In the description it said that my ability to interfere with mana increased, but that couldnt be confirmed just yet. It cant be helped since I cant test it on anyone. I could only use it for 10 minutes, but it was a rather decent ability. And this was not all. Fwoosh! this is ridiculous. It said that it will disy draconic features, and now I could spit fire from my mouth. Of course, it did take mana to use, but with double the amount of my normal mana, it was nothing to worry about. If I spit out the fire seriously, it would pack a punch. After a few more sessions of figuring out other features, the dragon transformation was dispelled. Deactivating the power Dragon Transformation. The power can be used again in 8 hours. However, the cooldown time was too long. I suppose it can only be used once per battle. It was not a huge problem since it wasnt too important. While I was enjoying the lingering feeling of dragon transformation, the Blood Demon Sword on my waist started to vibrate. DDamn it, my head feels like it will split in half. It was Dam Cheonwoo. D Are you feeling better now? I immediately sent out an advanced stealthmunication, and he replied. DYes. This one is unsure of what you did, but this vessel that holds the soul of this great one is stronger now. It seems that the aftereffects of the past battle will not remain. DIs that so? DWait. Thats not all. It seems that the sword will be able to hold my consciousness properly from now on. I have no idea what you did, but the situation improved by arge margin. D Ive imbued the Absolute Indestructibility affinity to the item. D And how did you. No, no. youre one of those lunatics that faced a god one on one. What use will it do to question a crazy person? I opened my mouth after a momentary silence of hearing Dam Cheonwoo sigh. Do you have things youd like to ask me? D Youre asking an obvious thing. From what Ive heard from you before, youre only a challenger of the trials of the tenth floor. Hailing from a very small dimensions origin. . D But considering your origins, youre too strong and way too intertwined with divine entities. And so I found out. Found out? DThat you must be one of those crazy candidates that the tower selected. And thats how you were so involved with divine entities. You thought that the phoenix was a sparrow, now this was this great ones mistake. He spoke as if he knew me very well of beings like me. At that, I quickly attempted to ask him all the questions, but. Before I could open my mouth, the Blood Demon Sword vibrated even faster and Dam Cheonwoo continued to speak. D You must have a lot of questions right now. What are candidates, what is the goal of the tower, and why do gods continue to intervene? However, this great one can not answer you. Why is that? Werent you a challenger that surpassed the 40th floor when you were alive? Then cant you also answer my questions? DThis great one did die from failing a trial, however, I do not desire the destruction of my soul. Did the tower put a restriction? DCorrect. Even if I know many things, the information allowed to you are very limited. Unqualified ones can not be told of these. Is that so.? It was futile. I was hoping that Dam Cheonwoo would be able to bypass the restriction of information leaks unlike administrators. While I was dwelling in disappointment, Dam Cheonwoo spoke as if to not worry. DBut, I can tell you one thing. Thou wont have to worry about the towers intentions nor about being a candidate. And why the blind trust? DYou dont have to trust the tower, but dont doubt its intentions and candidacy. After all, the tower only wants one thing from thee. What does. DContinue on your path, to end up with no worthy opponents. Thats what the tower wants from thee, and all the other challengers. . I had nothing to say. Truth be told, at the beginning, I climbed the tower because I was selected. Butter on, I continued to climb the tower out of my own will. Whenever I continued to climb the tower, I got rewards. And I was, in a way, drunk in it. Even without trying to believe in what Dam Cheonwoo had said, I knew that his words were not wrong. DYou must know too. That being able to climb up to this point was not only from your own capabilities, but that the tower has given opportunities to do so. I do indeed. The tower is not harmful to me. Dgood that you understand fast. Ah, you got selected as a candidate so early on, so you must have goodprehension skills.. So I wont ask you now. All my questions can be answeredter when I am stronger. DSigh. How disappointing it is that youre not a child of East. If you hailed from Murim, you mustve been able to be the strongest of the time. The sword shook as if Dam Cheonwoo was very satisfied. DIve been moved. And DWhat does the origin matter and what does the type of rtionship matter? Dam Cheonwoo spoke with a delighted voice. DWhats important is that our hearts are aligned. What brought this on suddenly? DIm saying that this great one shall teach you many things. And what will you teach me with restricted information..? DInformation regarding the tower is restricted, yes. But information regarding the different dimensions, and things that Ive learned before I was selected into the tower can be taught. I widened my eyes at that. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to learn about the different dimensions. The information of other dimensions was not a priority on the list, but something that I needed. Not enough to consume my question rights, but enough to keep on my list. But now, that has changed. If Dam Cheonwoo could tell me about the other dimensions, then I wont have to worry over questions that are difficult to let go. DSo let me ask you. However, Dam Cheonwoos offer did not end there. DThis great one has been the leader of the Sect of Heavenly Demon before climbing the tower. He spoke in a boastful voice and slowly floated up to the air. DThis great one learned the Soul Ascending technique there, and hath ns to teach that to thee. Because the towers restriction is only for things of the tower, the techniques that he learned before the tower had no restrictions. DThus, This great one hath decided to make thee my disciple. The techniques of the challenger who reached the 40th floor would be useful. I instinctively felt that. DWould thee be interested in learning Blood Demon Spirit techniques? From the now mid-air Blood Demon Sword, a crimson energy wasing out. [To be continued.] Chapter 151: 17th Floor (3) ————-? Chapter 151: 17th Floor (3) -?
DWould thee be interested in learning Blood Demon Spirit techniques? The Blood Demon Sword engulfed in crimson energy emitted its demonic nature. A type of energy that lured people in somehow. Honestly, I was a bit intrigued at first, but I chose to shake my head. I decline. DWhy is that? If you can learn the Blood Demon Spirit techniques, you will be stronger. Im sure that youve realized how supreme the techniques of murim are by now. I am fully aware. Thatpared to a small dimension, the techniques of other dimensions are far more superior. DSo why the rejection? But I have no ns to learn martial arts properly. I was not saying this purely based on pride, but based on evidence. Ive learned that once you start learning the Breathing techniques, the mana within your body will start to have an affinity of Internal Energy. DAnd who taught you tha. No, no. But you still havent learned any Breathing Techniques, so it should be fin. Ive learned a bit of martial arts from an administrator before. Furthermore, if you create a special Internal Energy through Breathing Techniques, you will gain specific restrictions. Isnt that right? Dyes, but youre wrong. The Blood Demons Spirit techniques are worthy of losing all the other techniques that youve learned until now. Is it better than this? I took out the Sky Breaking Sword and demonstrated one of the forms of Blue Sky Sword Style. It was the sword technique that I learned from the final battle with Nam Gunghyuk. sh! After a brief moment of shing through the air, an astonished groan came about. DBlue Sky Sword Style!? Just how on earth did you get your hands on the techniques of the Namgung family? What kind of nonsense! It happened somehow. Of course, none of it is official though. DHow did you. Damn it. I didnt know your capabilities of martial arts far exceeded my expectations. If you can teach me Blood Demon Spirit techniques without the Breathing Techniques, then Ill learn it. D. And if you are willing, all you need to do is demonstrate the sword form to me. I wont understand the exnations so there is no need to describe each form. DNow that Im looking at you, its a relief that you do note from Murim. If you were, you wouldve been killed a long time ago. . I kept my silence at that, While Dam Cheonwoo tsked at me. DThen if I adjusted the Breathing Techniques for you, would you learn the Blood Demon Spirit techniques as my disciple? Even so, it might be. DWhy! Why are you declining this time?! You can only have one disciple, right? DWhat about that.? I already have a master. I am a disciple to an administrator. DSigh, Truly. Even the puny entities are stealing my opportunities. The crimson energy that engulfed the Blood Demon Sword dispersed. DAnd here I was thinking that Id finally get a disciple after all this time.. How absurd. I cant teach you martial arts then. The Blood Demon Spirit Techniques are useless without the Breathing Techniques. He spoke in a disappointed voice, and I was the same. I wouldve loved to learn the techniques of a challenger that climbed beyond the 40th floor. I was thinking about how the Blood Demon Spirit Techniques are useless without the Breathing Techniques, but.. Thinking about it now, Dam Cheonwoo learned martial arts at the Blood Demon Cult. I know one more person from the Blood Demon Cult. The one who sponsored my Blood Demon Hole technique before, the Fallen Heir of the Blood Demon Cult also hailed from Blood Demon Cult. Even if I cant learn Blood Demon Spirit Techniques, I still learned the Breathing Technique called Blood Demon Hole. So I guessed that I could learn Blood Demon Spirit Techniques through Blood Demon Hole. DHow did you? T- That technique is only passed down to the direct heir of the sect? I ended up learning this somehow as well. DHuff. Truly absurd. Although Im unsure of how you managed to learn this, but Please just get to the point. Is it possible? Or not? Now this is what you call a stroke of luck. DIt should be possible. My theory was proven correct. ?- -? To conclude, Blood Demon Spirit techniques was not apleted technique. Its closer to magic or sorcery. Ignoring few of the minor abilities, its focal function was this. Swoosh! Blood Demon Spirit techniques had the ability to change mana into blood. Of course, that was not the extent of it. The blood created by mana could reinforce the body. And like the Truth-seeker of Blood, it couldpletely get rid of exhaustion. It did have a side effect of corrupting the mind when overused, but. Activating the power Calm. With Calm, the mental penalty was nonexistent. Can this really be considered martial arts? Aside from that question, there was truly no use for it. Now if I didnt have Truth-seeker of Blood or Ashy Blood, this technique wouldve been useful to learn. After all, I use both of the aforementioned quite frequently. But at this point, where Ive already mastered both skills, To think that I had very simr abilities to Blood Demon Spirit Techniques. The Blood Demon Spirit Techniques had no merit to me. DSince Blood Demon Spirit Techniques has its basis on techniques of higher beings, it cant be helped that its not like martial arts. Honestly, it looks useless. I could only use it when I need more blood. DY, You! Theres more to it than that! So are those extra abilities better than the sword form I demonstrated earlier? DYou-! Stop talking back! So is it better? DT-This Brat! How impudent! Im just being honest. Although it was useless as a martial art, its blood replenishing ability was rather interesting. If I were to increase my mana capacity with Dragon Transformation, get rid of mana consumption by Punishment, and replenish blood with Blood Demon Spirit Technique, I think it would synergize well. I theorized that I would be able to use Truth-seeker of Blood and Ashy Blood infinitely. Of course, Punishment only activated when facing demons and monsters, so it was not abination I could use every time. But it was plenty. Although itscking. DStop that! You atrocious brat! How long do you n on mocking Blood Demon Spirit techniques?! Is it really considered mocking if Im saying the truth, and only the truth? D. ept reality. DT- This Brat! After a moment of bickering, Dam Cheonwoo spoke in a weary voice. DSigh. It seems that the martial arts techniques of this great one wont be of use to you. Good. Then instead of martial arts, This great one will give you all the information that is permitted. And Dam Cheonwoo revealed several pieces of information. From detailed information of the Murim dimension, to the other dimensions like Ares and Callian. To sum it up, one thing was certain. From here on, the challengers from Earth will have to climb the tower along with these monstrosities. Iron Blooded challenger told me before. That from the 20th floor, I will startpeting with challengers from other dimensions. And I was certain after hearing Dam Cheonwoos information on other dimensions. The challengers from Earth dimension will not be able to climb the tower properly. Even the ones of Hunter background, even the challengers who recently gained power. Unless theyve experienced anything and everything under the sun like I have, they wont be able to handle whats about toe. But. Dwhy are you concerning yourself with other challengers? You can barely handle yourself right now. Dam Cheonwoo spoke as if I had nothing to worry about. DChallengers are ought to have skills befitting the floor that theyre at. If they dont, then theyre simply paying the price for overestimating themselves. Thats the way of the tower. That the ones that continue to climb the tower are not doing so from imposition but from their own volition. And their decision of climbing the tower is rightly followed with ountability. I agreed with that. . In the end, I was not in a position to be worried about someone else. With the truth revealed, my previous sense of responsibilitypletely vanished. DWhat will you do now? Theres no more reward. Will you rest a bit? Or will you talk with an administrator? Neither. DThen what will you do? Climb the tower. DRight now? Yes. Dam Cheonwoo asked in surprise, but I halfheartedly ignored him to speak out themand. Do you ept the 17th floor trial? I cant remain here. After all. I have to get stronger. I made a choice to be stronger. Until no one can oppress me. Even if the opponent is a divine entity. So I decided to forgo epting quests for a while. Its not like I could receive additional rewards like the quest that the administrator Hero of a Fallen World hasmissioned. I had no ns of epting quests despite all the risks. Right now, I have to focus on my growth. So. Entering Tower of Trials floor 17. It was time to climb the tower again.?- -? Entering Tower of Trials floor 17. Difficulty C Hard The objective of the following trial is Annihtion. We wish the challenger a satisfactory ending to their choice. The stage of this trial was engulfed withplete darkness. My sensations and even Aura Sense have been paralyzed to void me of any perception. DThis will be strenuous. To think youd get a trial like this. Make sure to be wary. You never know where an attack will ur. It was good advice. In this situation, Id never know where Id be attacked from. Fortunately, I had an ability on par with Aura Sense and my perception stats. Activating skill Fire Dragons Eyes. The skill, Fire Dragons Eyes. Almost as if I was seeing the world from an omniscient third person point of view, all the surrounding information was embedded into my mind like a panoramic picture. And The stage is a prettyrge cave with about 6 people. The 17th floor trial is starting Remaining time C 7 day Trial sess condition C Kill every enemy within the time limit and reach the end of Heavenly Armory. Trial fail condition C Challengers death or the end of remainder of time. Trial sess reward C Grand Rejuvenation Pill(S+) Trial fail penalty C Death Fwoosh! The very moment the trial message appeared, the center of the cave emitted a blinding light. And the ones that Ive already perceived through Fire Dragons Eyes revealed themselves. At the same time. Activating skill Fire Dragons Eyes. Once the light was turned on, the man wearing a ck robe swung his sword silently behind me. Seeing his attire of a typical martial artist, I concluded that this stage must be based on the Murim dimension. How absurd. For a man that looks like on the path of righteous ways tounch a sneak attack. Just like that lunatic of Murim based challenger, this stage must be of simr attribute. Furthermore, this martial artist used techniques that could barely be detected by Aura Sense. Every time I see the Murim dimension, I wonder just how rough it is in real life. Now, with my multiple encounters with murim challengers, attacks from blind spots had no meaning. The Fire Dragons Eyes detecting the arc of the sword, I lowered my stance to avoid the strike. sh. The de of the martial artist that lost its target swung through the empty air. W, Where?! Once I disappeared from the martial artists line of sight, he was taken aback. And that was his final moment. Slice! Youve eliminated Mudang Demon Sword, Lee JongHak. Youve eliminated a strong opponent. All stats raised by +1 temporarily within the 17th floor. Kill every enemy. I got an iprehensible message, but I had no time to pay heed to it. You have absorbed the soul of the Murim individual Lee JongHak. Proficiency increased by 0.04%. After absorbing the soul of Lee JongHak, I immediately followed it by stabbing the Blood Demon Sword into his corpse to activate Blood Eat. Activating True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s exclusive skill Blood Eat. Items rank raises to A rank (3,241/4,800) from absorbing Murim individual Lee JongHaks blood. Considering how fast he died, the rewards were rather generous. But there was no time to relish in it. After all. E-Elder Lee JongHak! How could this be! You! I wont forgive you! Namu Amita Bul! To think that theres a demonic practitioner among us! Hahahah! To think that thered be a monster that can kill that old man! Interesting! Truly fascinating! The others were pointing at me on the verge of starting an all out battle. DMount Hua sect, Shaolin Temple, Mudang Sect, Sect of Heavenly Demon, and Heishehui. What a chaoticbination. The one that you just killed is from the righteous faction of Mudang. Ah, no need for formalities. Before Dam Cheonwoo finished talking, I spoke while shaking the blood off the Blood Demon Sword. If you n on fighting, hurry up. With an expressionless face. Since you will all die here. I did not lie. DYou crazy bastard! A lunatic! A psychopath! I- I knew youd do this! After all, the only one who will survive in this ce, will be me. [To be continued.] Chapter 152: 17th Floor (4) ————-? Chapter 152: 17th Floor (4) -?
Shhhhhh! Activating the power Blood Demon Hole strongly. Dam Cheonwoo said this before. That the Blood Demon Hole will drive the user insane at a duel. The red filter that Blood Demon Hole creates over the eyes would lead the user into a feral state. Physical enhancement, regeneration abilities, perception increase, heightened emotions, etc.. Among many of its effects, he regarded one of them as being far superior than others. that was.. Activating skill Truth-seeker of Blood. its ability to create unlimited amounts of blood using mana. Of course, Dam Cheonwoo mentioned that Blood Demon Hole was iplete, so Id have to learn Blood Demon Spirit techniques to manipte the blood.. But that does not apply to me. After all, The blood controlling ability of Blood Demon Hole was not superior to Truth-seeker of Blood. Due to my ability to demonstrate a superior Blood Arts than a vampire, the only technique I gained from Blood Demon Hole was an ability to create blood. But that was plenty. Kwooooosh!! What on earth?! Blood Demon Spirit techniques!? I thought that Blood Demon was not here?! Why would you insist on creating conflict despite having such mighty power?! Truly an imbecile you are! Kwahahaha! The Demon Arts! Fascinating! I wonder if you can win against our sects martial arts! Really, it was plenty, more than enough actually, to win against everyone in this ce. The crimson smoke that emerged from my body turned into blood through Blood Demon Spirit techniques. By controlling Truth-seeker of Blood, I dispersed the created blood throughout the cave. And Rumble!! The blood droplets that dispersed into gas were manipted to put pressure onto the enemies. Kuh!? What kind of demonic technique is this? Hes a monster! Y- You! How much longer do you n on mocking this ce?! Did you forget the oath?! Hahaha! Of course! Oaths were meaningless in the first ce!! This is getting interesting! They all spoke of things I could not understand, but most of them lost their forms. Activating skill Battle Concentration. As if watching a slow motion video, the world slowed down while multiple skills sped me up. Using techniques like Starlight and Rolling Sword of Blue Sky in such a small cave would prove to be a bad move on my part. That would make things difficult for me. So I had to resolve everything using only basic sword techniques. Thats why I dispersed blood vapors to hold down the enemies. I needed to create a more advantageous situation for me. Im sure that I wont lose even without it, but its better safe than sorry. Its been a while since I fought an enemy with only techniques, so I was pretty excited. The first to oppose me was a middle aged person from a buddhist monk background. They clenched their lips and approached me through the pressure of blood vapor. Theyreing. Seeing their advance, I held both of my swords and analyzed the path of the enemy. But. What is that now? The middle aged person punched the empty air. No sort of trickery nor mana was detected. But amidst my confusion, the scenery before me blurred all of a sudden. Crash! The sensation of my nose shattering spread through my entire body. !? Aura Sense couldnt even detect any sign of attack, but my face suffered a hit. Activating skill Ashy Blood. Whats even more chilling is that I couldnt figure out what was happening until after I got hit. If my Tenacity stats were any lower, or if the hit had a little more force to it, the Last Stand wouldve been activated. DIts called the Hundred Steps Technique of Shaolin Temple. Youd best be careful. The monks are shady so they use invisible techniques. With Dam Cheonwoos advice, I quickly regained my stance. And Activating the power sh Steps. There will be a 10 minute cool down on the power. By using divine power, you can immediately teleport to a location within your sight. Now! We all need to work together to!? sh! Youve eliminated Trap Fighter. Youve eliminated a strong opponent All stats raised by +1 temporarily within the 17th floor.. Kill every enemy. Using sh Steps, I immediately cut the throat of the monk. DWell, its good to act fast, but you truly are ruthless. Dam Cheonwoo spoke as if I was overreacting, but I thought differently. Itd be more embarrassing to die from letting my guard down. I wanted to observe more to figure out the mechanics of the technique, but I didnt want to risk anything. The best solution was to prevent anything that would cause difficultyter on. I was very curious as to how they could attack me without me knowing, but I couldnt ignore thebined forces of the rest of the opponents. After all, they could also use simr techniques. However, I had a premonition that it wouldnt be too difficult to avoid. Since it could pierce through the pressure of blood fog, Im sure that they were the fastest of them all. The one who could get past the blood fog very first was surely the strongest amongst them all. Which means that from here on, Id be able to handle any surprise that is brought on me. While I was gathering up my mana, an angry shout rang out. Youuu! You dare defy the wills of heaven and behave this impudently?! Fwoosh! Followed by a young man wearing a pink robe swinging his sword, full of fighting spirit. ? For some reason, the sword emitted a strong plum blossom scent, but. The skepticism didntst long. I narrowed my eyes at the sword aura that split itself into countless flower petals. Those were not real. They exuded a thick presence of plum blossoms fluttering in the wind, but it was a manifestation of mana through will. And the only thing that can affect me within that sword aura has already been determined. And thats why he decided to manifest a shy sword aura to hide that. Ah, I wonder if this is that? Change Manifestation. It was one of thews of martial arts that White Crane Sword Saint taught me before. Ive never seen it up until now, but it didnt seem that great of a technique. In an attempt to make a fake sword aura look real, arge amount of will needs to be invested into the mana, and it would not work on opponents that are stronger than the user. I theorized. Wouldnt it be better to manifest a sword aura that cant be avoided nor blocked?. Just like this. Woosh! I immediately swung my sword to demonstrate the techniques of White Sword, and imbued my will into the mana to pull the space itself. Wha! T-the space is!? Crack! The splendid array of plum blossoms were crushed by the pull of the space, and only two sword aura remained. Of course, both of them also dissipated being unable to withstand my sword. Activating the Exclusive Skill of Harmonic Soul Demon Sword, Double Attack. Followed with the activation of skill, the strongly activated will pulled my opponent. However, due to the ability of my opponent, he wasnt blindly affected by the skill and did his best to resist it. You! Did you think that Id be defeated that easily?! He attempted to resist the spatial pull by dispersing his mana throughout his surroundings. It was an ability that he could demonstrate because he was a martial artist that trained his will to the limits. Hes strong. It was the type of strength that ismonly described in tales of Murim of virtuous warriors. He must be stronger than the Mudang Demon Sword that died just a moment ago. As a martial artist that will be my opponent, he was notcking at all. However. Activating of True Blood Demon Sword.. Victory of this battle was only determined through the level of will alone. The level of will is determined depending on the level of the user, and with that said will further reinforced by skills, the result of the battle was predetermined. sh! The swordsman wearing a pink robe also fell without his head. Youve eliminated Plum Blossom Swordsman Lee Cheonsoo. Youve eliminated a strong opponent. All stats raised by +1 temporarily within the 17th floor. Kill every enemy. I had nothing to reflect on. Unlike the other guy, he didnt use a special technique before death. And other than the Change manifestation technique that he showed, there was nothing else interesting about him. But I was not disappointed. T-the two of them were defeated even before they could make a move.? M-Monster! Hahaha? Small brother disciple? You must also be a demonic practitioner, wo why dont we talk this out? They all lost motivation, but regardless of their will to fight, I had to give my all. Oaths, talks, and whatnot. Can you focus on fighting instead? After all. If you stay still, youre all going to end up dying. If not, they will all die just like that. Seeing the silent opponents, I let out a radiant smile. Itd be best if you gave it your all. From here on, I should be able to observe every technique slowly. ?- -? The battle did notst long. The rest of the remaining opponents were all small frys. About the same level as the very first guy I killed, Mudang Demon Sword. They attempted to use every secret technique they had, but those did little to attract my attention. I did manage to get some things at least. I got to learn more about martial arts. Like the piercing sword, and sh sword. I finally managed to see the real techniques that I learned from White Crane Sword Saint in writing. The difference from knowing it in knowledge versus seeing it in battle was huge. Seeing it in person really helped me understand it better. Now the understanding of each technique was not as grand as I thought, but that must be because of the capabilities of the users themselves. If used by more skilled users, then the techniques would prove to be different. At least, thats what I thought. I sheathed both of my swords staring at the corpses around me. Im full of energy. My body was demonstrating a clear difference after unsheathing my swords. Every time I killed an opponent, my stats would increase to a total of +7 on each. I know that this is exclusive to the 17the floor stage, but this is really good. While I was feeling satisfied at that.. Youve passed the Path of Poisoned Parasite of Heavenly Armory. You have met the requirements. Door is opening. Rumble! The walls of the cave opened to a path. I realized at the point where they raised an entire 7 points on stats. But this trial will be dangerous too Even if its not like the trial where the god of battle descended, this trial too would prove to be just as difficult. Oh well, as long as they reward me properly. Since I chose this difficulty, I had no issues about it. After a brief moment of looking into the opened doors, I stepped into the newly created path. While I was walking through the narrow hallway, I realized that Blood Demon Sword was unnaturally quiet. He spoke a few times during battle, but it gradually decreased to nothing. It did notst long though. DI remember now. Dam Cheonwoo suddenly spoke. Dyou remember now? What do you mean by that? He immediately answered. DI mean exactly what I said. I remembered. What this ce is, and why they gathered the murim people. A sh of something passed in my mind when he said that. Theres been a few times that the tower has replicated real events. Which meant that this bloody duel couldve been an incident that urred at Murim. Which further meant that Dam Cheonwoo, who came from Murim would also know of this event. To think that Id remember this only now. If Dam Cheonwoo didnt say it himself, then I wouldve never connected the dots. Of course, at the current level of the trial, I had nothing to worry about, but it was good to have background knowledge of this setting. After all, there have been one too many incidences of trial difficulty being adjusted mid-trial. I asked Dam Cheonwoo a direct question. DDo you know of this setting? DAbout a 100 years ago, Before the tower existed in Murim, its said that a Massive Annihtion urred. D? DHeavenly Armory. An armory said to contain countless secret techniques of Light Swordmaster, the strongest of all, from a hundred years ago. The 17th floor must take ce there. DWhich means that the Massive Annihtion is rted to the ones seeking those secret techniques. DCorrect. The techniques of strong are always followed with massacre. Especially if its the techniques of the strongest person. And thats the problem. Dam Cheonwoo spoke with a serious voice. DHan Sungyeun. You will die here. Brutally. It was the prophecy of death. [To be continued.] Chapter 153: Light Swordmaster (1) ————-? Chapter 153: Light Swordmaster (1) -?
DHan Sungyeun. You will die here. Brutally. My body tensed up hearing Dam Cheonwoos deration. He has seen me fight against the god of battle, and knows that I am stronger than typical challengers. But. What do you mean by that? Dam Cheonwoo casually, but with full conviction, dered that I was going to die. It was so absurd that I froze. Perhaps he was implying that this trial will be so difficult that Ill feel like Im going to die. However DI meant what I said. Han Sungyeun. If the setting of this trial is really based on the Heavenly Armory, then you will die. It was not just an implication. He was convinced that I will die here. He wasnt implying anything. I would literally die in this trial. Are you saying that a god will manifest here? If a god was manifesting here, not under a state of advent, then it would make sense. Since I barely managed to win against the god of battle who descended under advent. If the god of battle manifested back then, then I wouldve died immediately. DNo. Nothing of the sort. The owner of Heavenly Armory did ascend to be a divine entity, but they wont interfere here. Damn Cheonwoo denied the possibility of advent and manifestation. So I asked with an attitude. Then why would you say that Ill die here? DYouve be so arrogant after defeating that god of battle. He descended back then, he did not manifest. Furthermore, you can not enter the state of discipleship from a contract made from a god. . DYou cant even call that winning. All you did back then, was to survive miraculously. Can you truly call that your own victory? But I am strong enough even without the state of discipleship. DI know. Even disregarding the fact that youre a challenger, youre strong enough as a martial artist. Despite not studying from a young age, you have plenty of potential. But youve never seen a true genius. ? DSometimes, geniuses with abilities that far seed the righteousws of equality get born. Born with the type of talent that could even blind a divine entity. Those kinds of geniuses can not even bepared to the rest of people like us. Cant you exin it more simply? DHow impatient. 100 years ago, back when this great one was not the Blood Demon of the sect, a genius lived in a faction named the Sect of Heavenly Demon. A genius you say. DHeavenly Demon. Truly an entity far surpassing the typical person. I still cant forget those monstrous abilities. Dam Cheonwoo spoke with nostalgia. DThat. That was. Yes, violent. I can only describe that talent as violent. That genius killed their father at Heavenly Demon Sect to take the throne. I listened to Dam Cheonwoos story amidst the hallway. DAt that ripe young age of 20. . DThe tattlers of Murim called that brat with this title: Best of Universe. That they will be stronger than anyone else in the world, including everyone in the universe. This great one got obscured by the brightness of that genius and never became the best of that time. Could you get to the point? Im not interested in your life story. DOn the day that genius became 20 years old, they entered the secret vault. Even breaking the oath of forbidden entry. Do you get it now? are you telling me that the vault that the genius broke into is the Heavenly Armory? DCorrect. Which means that the 20 year old Heavenly Demon would be within the Heavenly Armory. Thats the reason for my conviction of your death. It was absurd. A mere 20 year old during the times with no tower. How strong could they be? DThese are the times I remember that you hail from a small dimension. Youre just ignorant. Of the true genius talent, of that potential to burn everything down. Youre right. I do not know. However, I am confident that I will survive no matter how strong they are. DSurviving could be possible. But will that be enough to clear the trial? That. DOf course not. Theres no way that the tower would give you such an easy trial. You will most likely be forced to fight with the Heavenly Demon. And thats why the tower gave you that special benefit. Dam Cheonwoo spoke with a cold tone of voice. DI know that you got stronger the more people you killed. That must be the benefit that the tower gave you. It would be the best if you can kill every soul within this secret vault if you want to clear this trial. He spoke with a trembling voice disying a primal fear etched within the instincts of living beings. DIf you dont, you wont even scratch the tails of their coat. Dam Cheonwoo was truly fearing the monster in the Heavenly Armory. ?- -? Although he said that I will die, what I had to do didnt change. While passing through the hallway quickly, I revised the advice that Dam Cheonwoo gave me. DNever be disappointed no matter what happens. As long as you live, opportunities wille. So itd be best if you save your strength while using the benefit of the tower to your advantage. He emphasized the need for my mental tenacity. It has been stated that seeing a genius would start a fiery anger within one, but to be honest, I didnt agree. After all Time after time, I realized just howcking I was in my talent. And even those were not real talent and just skills and powers that should bebeled as fake talent.. Even in those stats and skills, I felt a disproportionate amount of shortfall. Ive seen way too many who were blessed with the perfect skills from the system, to the point where I wanted to rip myself apart out of despair. However, I had no ns for despair anymore. Every time I continued to climb another floor, I would be stronger so there was no need to me something like innate talent. I wont let anything dishearten my determination. So Ill focus on getting ready for this trial. I had a fewst resorts under my sleeve after all. Dam Cheonwoos advices were not something to be ignored, but I didnt feel the need to be swayed by them either. Ill just continue on just like how I always have. Once the hallway came to an end, a new space opened up. Youve entered the Path of Dark Heavens of Heavenly Armory. From the Path of Poisoned Parasite leading to the Path of Dark Heavens. From a ce that instigated a battle to the death into an unknown cave. Area exclusive penalty of Path of Dark Heavens is now applied. At the same time, I lost control of my mana circuit. Usage of mana circuit is restricted within the designated area temporarily. Usage of Aura Sense is restricted within the designated area temporarily. Darkness will fill up the sight within the designated area temporarily. Restrictions. Aura Sense didnt work back at the Path of Poisoned Parasite, but its even worse here. However, I had nothing to worry about. Activating the exclusive effect Ecology Adaptation of the item Adventurers Handmade Gloves(B+). Mana Circuit is no longer restricted. +4 on Agility while Aura Sense is restricted.. Since the items that I bought before the previous trial were doing their part. Immediately, the energy that restricted the mana circuit disappeared, and my body got lighter. The items were definitely worth it. As a mere B+ item, I never thought that it woulde in this handy. Despite its imperfections, its ability to hinder some restrictions was excellent. Its a bit disappointing that Forced Breakthrough or Mana Resistance was not activating. But since Forced Breakthrough requires that my mana is to be stronger than the mana being used for the restriction, it cant be helped. That was the same for Mana Resistance too. Unless my mana was higher than the restricting mana, it couldnt function as it should. And because this was a facility created by an entity as powerful as divine beings, Forced Breakthrough and Mana Resistance would be useless. Its more interesting that these items are able to bypass the restrictions. The few millions of points were worth investing to get these items. While I was feeling satisfied, a new message popped up. Find the path in the darkness that blinds you. Only the first 4 can leave the Path of Dark Heavens. Every time apetitor is eliminated, the darkness that blinds you will slightly disappear. Firste, First served basis. The system message implied that only a few designated people are allowed to leave this space. Which meant that if I am unable to escape this space, then Id immediately fail this trial. I looked towards the flowing darkness thatpletely blinded me. Ive encountered simr situations from previous trials. And I also learned the solution back then. Strongly activating the skill Fire Dragons Eyes. Settling for a lesser option. If Aura Sense cant be used, then I just had to recover my sight through skills. Truthfully, the Fire Dragons Eyes was superior in securing the sight than Aura Sense. Its just that the Aura Sense was more superior in detecting formless energy. Well, I do prefer Aura Sense a little more. But either way, the fact that I could recover my sight didnt change. As soon as I activated the skill, I could detect even my blind spots and expanded my area of detection. 10m, 20m, 30m. The detection area continued to increase until every corner of the cave was inspected. And Its a ratherrge cave, and theres about 20 total. After scanning the cave, I found out an interesting fact. A glowing path engraved on the ground. The glowing light that seemed to be connecting to something, was implying that it was trying to lead someone. Strongly activating the skill Sixth Sense. For some reason, I got a conviction that Id be able to leave this ce if I followed that shining line. Ive activated my skill, so Im sure that its right. With the name Path of Dark Heavens, and the requirements of finding a path, I was sure of it. Originally, this wouldve been a trial that required you to find the path with every sense sealed. But I bypassed that. With the skill that allowed me to see through the unseen, there was nothing that could stop me. What a useful skill. The challengers of Murim belittled skills to be something of a borrowed power, but. The fact that skills were superior than martial arts couldnt be denied. The moment I quickly turned to follow that glowing path. You got the achievement Pathfinder. Creating the skill Mini Map(D+). I suddenly got an achievement with a new message. Starting the Special Assignment, Pathfinder of Death. You understood the correct direction faster than anyone else. The opponents are yet to find the correct direction. Before you encounter them as an enemy at the next rite of passage, gift the lost with death. Temporary +4 on all stats as a reward ofpletion. I let out a faint smile at the special assignment that demanded ughter. And here I was, wondering if I should at least kill a few before moving on. Perfect. It would seem that all mypetitions would have to be eliminated. [To be continued.] Chapter 154: Light Swordmaster (2) ————-? Chapter 154: Light Swordmaster (2) -?
The light in darkness tends to lure the lost. Despite the knowledge that it could burn you, its temptations cant be denied. The desire for light, once at the presence of one, grows immensely. And its a type of survival instinct engraved on the souls of living. That light, which caused such madness, was the Heavenly Armory in Murim. While the foolish moths that got attracted to the light were ones obsessing over the martial arts within the armory. Fierce Dragon de, was another one of those moths to the fire. Youve entered the Path of Dark Heavens of Heavenly Armory. Damn it, damn it all. Lee Jincheon grit his teeth looking at the lit up writing in front of him. Not a single ounce of inner energy was detected, nor could any qi could be sensed. He felt nauseous from the sensation of everything that hes learned until now being rejected. So this is the secret armory said to be the remnants of the Best of Universe. It sent chills through him. Nevermind the lit up words in front of him, this armory was nothing more than hell. While the Path of Poisoned Parasite put several people in a cave to fight to the death like beasts. This new path forced the challengers to kill each other to reach the end of the path after restricting Internal Energy. Damn it. Lee Jincheon stared directly into the blinding darkness and groaned. Thest ditch effort of trying to ovee hiscking talent put him in more danger than ever. He attempted to be calm and continued on. Its okay. This will be worth it, as long as I can get my hands on that technique. Killing the innocent,mitting murder while walking on a pitch ck path, and more. He could do anything to achieve his goal. Lee Jincheon gave up his humanity. For over 60 years, seeing the monstrous geniuses ovee him within a blink of an eye, he realized. If he stayed like this, he would only be a stepping stone for other geniuses to walk on. That he will continue to live in that suffocating reality being overshadowed by those bright, absolute talents. Which is why he made the decision to leave that small well of a sect to enter the Heavenly Armory. To learn that supreme technique, and to ascend to a new level. Ill kill however many it takes to get that. Lee Jincheon walked through the darkness with bloodshot eyes. Light Swordmaster. The techniques of the one who massacred the entirety of Diancang Group alone 40 years ago. If the techniques of such being can be acquired, then every rite of passage would be worth its price. Lee Jincheon repeated it as if to convince himself while walking through the darkness. When he was met with a person, he cut them down unhesitantly, threw away his pride to crawl on the floor to keep his life. sh! The opponent is eliminated The darkness that blinds you is disappearing slightly. And he rejoiced in the fact that his sight was slowlying back. Yes! This is it! I! I am! I am someone who will prevail! The elderly man who used to criticize the Light Swordmaster for his inhumane trials existed no more. Only a dirty murderer remained. Lee Jincheon did not hesitate walking through the darkness anymore. Taptaptap! In fact, he ran through the area loudly trying to find more opponents to kill. With 60 years of basic training, no opponent came close to match his skills. He didnt even have much inner energy either. So instead of training with his inner energy, he made up for it with other techniques which allowed him to progress in this passage smoothly. However, he realized after a moment. The opponent is eliminated The darkness that blinds you is disappearing slightly. The opponent is elim.. The darkness that blinds you is . The opponent is.. The darkness that. That he saw more corpses than people. Lee Jincheon no longer felt delight from seeing multiple instances of corpses on the floor. What is. He understood his situation. All the corpses until now had their throats slit from the same technique. Which meant that a single person had been killing them all. All the ones who have a history of martial arts would conclude the same. The opponent is eliminated The darkness that blinds you is disappearing slightly. The opponent is elim.. The darkness that blinds you is . The opponent is.. The darkness that. And the writings of light never ceased while Lee Jincheon was thinking. He shivered looking at those writings that seem to being alive to burn him. There was no more darkness now. The unweed lights surrounded the area to lift up the darkness and persecute the moth. S- somethings wrong here. Before his thought continued, his instincts yelled loudly with a warning bell. 60 years. The instincts that he developed over decades of experience moved his body before he could think. sh! But it was toote. Aughhhh! Lee Jincheon rolled on the ground, feeling a wave of hot heat on his back. And Through his fear stricken eyes, he saw his enemy. An emotionless eyes, training robe that are only used in the west, and the two swords emitting an ominous aura. A young man that resembled a grim reaper looked down on him. How did you know that I approached you? Lee Jincheon realized that he was facing death itself and quickly made up a lie. I- its the technique of my sect! If you let me live, Ill share it with! Perhaps the desire to live enabled the lies to flow effortlessly. But he couldnt finish it. Lies. The pupils of the young man suddenly slit into vertical, like that of a reptile and glowed like a me. The lie was so easily detected. At that horrific appearance, Lee Jincheon trembled, feeling his airway being blocked. Ah. Lee JIncheon finally realized it at his final moments. That his desire for the techniques was greed that he could not handle. That he was only a sacrificialmb that the Heavenly Armor chose for monsters like that young man. That the ones that will get a hold of the techniques have been predetermined. And. I- I dont want to die. sh! That it was toote to turn back time. ?- -? The time passed by quickly. Youve eliminated a strong opponent All stats raised by +1 temporarily within the 17th floor.. Kill every enemy. Moving toplete the special assignment was pretty boring and repetitive. Youve eliminated every lost opponent. Congrattions, Youvepleted the Special Assignment, Pathfinder of Death. Temporary +4 on all stats as a reward ofpletion. Approaching the enemy, cutting their throats, and seeking a new enemy. Repeating that task was mind numbingly boring. And the enemies couldnt use their Mana Circuit or Aura Sense so they were purely relying on their senses. The skill Dark Wolfs Steps is currently activated. With a skill that can erase my entire presence, killing them was way too easy. You have absorbed the soul of the Murim individual Lee Jincheon. Proficiency increased by 0.017%. You have absorbed the soul of the Murim individual Baek Sukmun. Proficiency increased by 0.011% . You have absorbed the soul of the Murim individual Lee Gunbaek. Proficiency increased by 0.009% . The one sided massacre ended just like that. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls in captivity. Strength increased by 1. Stamina increased by 1. Mana increased by 1. It was easy to defeat enemies who couldnt use mana nor aura sense. After concealing the presence with a skill, just a single strike of de was plenty to defeat them. Ultimately, there was an old man who could still detect my presence, but.. It seemed like he detected me coincidentally. That was not enough to deter me at all. This is definitely not up my alley.. Ive killed them all for thepletion of the special assignment and the temporary stat boost. But I couldnt help but wonder if Ive been killing the innocent throughout this process. Of course, the moment they stepped into the Heavenly Armor, it implied that they were willing to fight. And thats why I could kill all the opponents without hesitation. Skill Instant eleration(B)s proficiency reached 100%. Skill Instant eleration(B) ranked up. Skill Wind Grace(A)s proficiency reached. Skill Wind Grace(A) ranked. Skill Sixth Sense(B)s proficiency . Skill Sixth Sense(B) ranked. After seeing the skills rank up in a while, I surveyed my surroundings. . The roompletely engulfed in darkness regained its original appearance. And all the opponents holding different weaponsid on the ground without their heads. After a moment of looking at the corpses, I touched the pool of blood on the ground with Blood Demon Sword. Activating True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s exclusive skill Blood Eat. Items rank raises to A (4,800/4,800) from absorbing blood. The stats of the item met its requirements to rank up from A to A+. Afterpletely absorbing the pool of blood, the Blood Demon sword lit up eerily. A voice rang out from the sword while I was looking at it. DHahah. What a good feeling. The bountiful resource of blood is rather nice. How pleasant. Dam Cheonwoo spoke in satisfaction. Im d. I answered half heartedly while sheathing the sword back at my waist. Truthfully, I didnt care if he felt satisfied or not. What matters is how efficient Dam Cheonwoo became. At that moment. Dyou dont change at all huh? Seeing this great one as a mere tool. Are you really not a child of the East? I flinched at his words. DTsk, having the perception ability ranking up during these times. What a skill. Did you read my mind? DIndeed. I read that sphemous thought of yours. I never told you to worship this great one, but you need to at least have some respect for me. But I realized after a short while. It seems that you cant read whats in my deep consciousness at least. DWhat? How did you find that out so quickly.?! You couldnt read any of my thoughts just now. If you could, you wouldnt have stayed silent. DJust what were you thinking this time? Its a secret. After saying that, I continued on to follow that path with the flowing rocks. Im guessing you can only read whats on the surface of my consciousness. And you got it after ranking up, correct? DYes, youre right. You catch on way too quickly. As you said, my synchronization with the one that the sword deems their master went up, so I can read your thoughts now. That is certainly convenient. I didnt have to waste any more mana during battle for stealthmunication. Furthermore. No one could eavesdrop on our conversation by using mana, and not having to send out messages during battles. The item became more capable. DYou are thinking every disrespectful thought under the sun. Im calling an item, an item. What else do I call it then? D. Dont be cross over something like this. DThats not what! Forget it then. DLet me finish talking at least! Izily answered Dam Cheonwoos excuses and continued to follow the flowing line. And at the end of the line, a narrow road that barely fits a person appeared. After entering that path, a new message appeared. Youve passed the Path of Dark Heavens of Heavenly Armory. Youve met the requirements. Opening the doors. Rumble! But something was odd. Requirements satisfied. Every opponent has been killed You are now partly qualified to be a true heir. A secret gateway is opening. Suddenly, the exit at the end of the path got shut with a stone door. Opening the Path of Heavenly Light. A new shining portal appeared in the middle of the road. What? Is it normal for portals to appear like this in Murim? DNot a chance. Even this great one never heard of something like that before. Then what is that? A portal instead of a gate? DI told you. That this Heavenly Armor is created to choose an heir by the divine entity. So itd be not too out of ce for an odd feature to exist. . DJust that, ording to this great ones memories, no such rites of passage existed. Im guessing that It must meet a very specific requirement. Dam Cheonwoo spoke in a bbergasted tone, but continued to exin. DWell, to put it in your terms. It goes like this. And I couldnt help but let out augh at what followed. DTo sum it up, its a hidden stage. Well if you put it that way. When he says it, it sounds different. It felt as if a stroke of serendipity got bestowed. A very fortunate stroke of serendipity at that. [To be continued.] Chapter 155: Light Swordmaster (3) ————-? Chapter 155: Light Swordmaster (3) -?
Youve entered the Path of Heavenly Light of Heavenly Armory. After entering the hidden dungeon, rather, a secret rite of passage, the surrounding scenery changed. Now this is unexpected. As expected of a secret ce of a divine being. Dam Cheonwoo spoke with astonishment. After all The bright lights enveloped the surroundings warmly, with floors made of clouds, and soft pink colored petals fluttered about throughout the area. The Peach Blossom Land, or Shangri-La. My observation of this hidden stage named Path of Heavenly Light felt something akin to utopia. However, despite its magnificent appearance, there were more oddities to it. A type of oddity that Ive experienced before. The invitation from the god of proof back at the 11th floor. That ce too, held an otherworldly mystery allure to it. As if I could feel divinity from it. This feeling that I cant put abel to it, was simr to that energy often felt from gods. Divine Realm? Dam Cheonwoo spoke in an agreeing tone. Correct. The one that created the Heavenly Armory mustve created this ce secretly using his divine powers. I never expected a ce like this to exist. There hasnt been any rumors about this ce back at Murim? In the first ce, the requirements for entering this ce are atrocious, and even if one were to set foot in this ce, do you really think that they can survive it? Even if they did, it is most certain that they wouldnt reveal what they gained here. I suppose thats true as well. But I can say one thing for sure. ? The ones from the original Murim world who managed to reach this ce all died without exception. And what makes you say that with such certainty? Simple. This trial itself makes it impossible for those of Murim to pass. Dam Cheonwoo spoke and pointed using the Blood Demon Sword. And Behold. Is that truly a passage that those of murim can pass? After looking towards what he pointed at, I immediately frowned. A cloud bridge. Those were the only words I could use to describe that structure. It was almost the same format as the final passage of the trial from the 7th floor. But in a more extreme difficulty, the bridge made of clouds was gently swaying to eventually lose its form. As if the cloud bridge had a time limit. After realizing the intention of this segment, I understood just how evil the creator of this rite was. After all. Within a mere seconds, the cloud bridge lost its form over halfway. Even if I were to run straight into the cloud bridge as soon as I entered this ce, I wouldnt have been able to use the bridge to cross. But it didnt bother me. After all, I still had ess to Steel Wing and Wind Spirits Boots. With multiple methods of moving across the air, this challenge did not pose a threat at me. Its definitely not a typical rite of passage. I understood that the difficulty was extreme, but couldnt get why Dam Cheonwoo was making such a big deal out of this. So when I asked honestly, he answered in a disconcerted tone. No matter how much one trains, do you think its possible for humans to fly? Its a different story for challengers, but for martial artists, its a near impossible feat. Even so, Im sure that there are ways. There are few, but its difficult to obtain such techniques. Think about it, in order to move through the air, what do you need? Not much time was spent to figure out the answer. Based on my experience of using Steel Wing and Wind Spirits Boots, Ive already had some understanding of its mechanics. Either you create wind to lift yourself up, or youd use abilities to create a tform midair to stand on it. As youve said, most arts of moving through air functions in those two ways. But thats precisely the issue. Dam Cheonwoo spoke in a disappointed manner. Either controlling the wind, or creating tforms on air. Thats not a state that most martial artists can reach since they mostly focus their training on physical aspects. He continued on with amenting voice. Although, that doesnt even seem to apply to you. After hearing his exnation, I realized why the Path of Heavenly Light was never revealed to the public. Entrance requirements andpletion requirements are equally as viinous, so its existence itself never got revealed. It was disheartening to know that I couldnt get information before the trial. But if this trial was as Dam Cheonwoo exined, then it didnt matter too much for me. After all. Activating the power Steel Wings. I had the ability to move through the air, unlike those of Murim. Swoosh! After opening the pair of wings made of metal, I followed the traces of the disappearing cloud bridge. Activating skill Instant eleration. Activating skill Wind Grace. Increasing all movement speed by 70%. Current number of skills being stacked 7/7 Fwoosh! After stacking multiple skills, the movement speed increased drastically. Activating the Wind Spirits Boots (A+)s Exclusive Effect Path of the Wind. And further adding on the exclusive effect of the wind spirits boots, the eleration increased as well. To the point where my surroundings looked squished just from the speed. And with the temporary stat increase within the 17th floor, it was easy to say that this speed had surpassed the limits, Its said that its a rite of passage hidden by the divine being, but it doesnt seem difficult at all to a challenger. At this point, the Path of Heavenly Light seemed way too easy. But that sentimentsted rather shortly. Fsssh! Among the sounds of wind filling my ear, an unnatural sound alerted my instinct. And without hesitation, I twisted my body without thinking. But perhaps that wasnt enough. St! A ray of light shot out to pierce through my thigh, and I immediately lowered my flying speed. Activating skill Ashy Blood. The injury was immediately healed, but the chilling sensation couldnt be settled. After all Albeit limited to the 17th floor, Im currently under multiple stat boosting buffs. But to have my leg pierced through just like this.? If this were to be aimed towards my head, I dont really think that I woulde out unscathed. Dont tell me it can bypass my tenacity stats? I attempted to theorize what that sudden ray of light was. But my inquiry could not continue. Pbbbzt! I turned my head towards those unnatural sounds, and let out an emptyugh from the absurdity of the situation. Im going to go insane. The moment a red dotnded on my body as if being aimed by aser pointer. I realized, seeing the shing light from the sky. That the Path of Heavenly Light was not a rite of passage to be taken easily. Hahaha! Now youre finally tasting real suffering! Serves you righ it will serve as a great experience for you! I wanted to shut Dam Cheonwoos mocking lips, but I had no time. Rumble! . Seeing the overwhelming rays of light pouring down, I gritted my teeth. Damn it all. I regretted taking this rite of passage lightly. - - With the intention of clearing this challenge as soon as possible, I gave up on reserving my mana. The rays of light that could ignore my tenacity stats were definitely dangerous. The possibility of death was an issue in itself, but I was more worried about the possibility that my skills could disappear due to hidden attacks. The defense feature in the bracelet, and the Last Stand. If either one activates, itd make things difficult for me. Both of them shared a simrity, in terms that they were an extra life that I had. And both of these abilities activated when I received a fatal attack. If the ray of light were to attack a fatal spot, then my extra life would be spent. So even at the cost of my mana, it was best to escape this ce as soon as possible. Activating the power Quick Mana Charge. And since I could always recharge mana with my power, it was not an issue to be using mana. However, the rite of passage called Path of Heavenly Light was more vicious than I expected. Activating skill Counter Shield. Crash! When the crimson shield blocked the ray of light with a loud boom, the lights from the sky showered down as if they were waiting for this moment. Boom Boom Boom! 2 hits, 3 hits, 4 hits. Blocking the continuous attacks with the shieldsted briefly. The skill Counter Shield is broken, the umted damage can not be released. A message I havent seen in a while, as unweing as it is, appeared before me. Now that the shield has entered its cooldown time, I had to avoid the light rays myself. And that proved to be a difficult feat. Divine Realm Effect Absolute Hit will enable the divine attack to follow you until it hits. When the red dots akin toser pointers met a part of my body, rays of lights ensued. Looking at the increasing number of rays, I let out augh of absurdity. Arent they just straight up trying to kill me at this point? Even during that brief moment of sneer, the rays of light increased in number. Which meant that if I continued on like this, the number of rays would increase exponentially. Attempting to pass the challenge before that proved to be impossible, so I had to find a different way. If someone from Murim attempted this challenge, they wouldve died without exception. But I was a challenger. I still had a few tricks up my sleeve. I guess it cant be helped. They say if I have no teeth, I have to eat using my gums. Per the exnation, that Absolute Hit meant that as long as it hit something, it would disappear. So if I can make it hit a target, wouldnt that solve this issue? Activating the power Blood Demon Hole. Activating skill Truth-seeker of Blood. After using mana to convert it into blood using the technique I learned from Dam Cheonwoo. I followed that by taking out the blood using Truth-seeker of Blood and activated the skill of Blood Demon Sword. Activating the Imprint Skill : Blood Fortify (C+) of Real Heavenly Blood Demonic sword. Once the skill of vampire count activated, the blood coagted into a study shield. Of course, even with blood fortify, the durability of the blood shield couldnt bepared to the Counter Shield. Despite its weak durability, at least the blood shield had no cooldown time. Therefore. As long as I can replenish my mana continuously, my blood wont run out, and the shield can stay up as long as I want. This was in a way, an infinite shield glitch. Now this was not a perfect defense so I had to always have my guard up. But at least now I wont have to waste my precious tricks due to those rays of lights. Hoooo. To manipte Blood Demon Hole like that. What remarkable mediocre talent you have. Ignoring Dam Cheonwoospliment, I elerated while continuing to activate more exclusive effects. Activating Steels Blessing the exclusive effect of item Wrought Iron Pendant(B). The skin is imbued with the ability to absorb 10% physical damage. The exclusive effect of The Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat (A-) is consuming blood to create a barrier. Its been a while since Ive used either one of the skills. The shield from the tailcoat was now unlimited. As long as my mana existed. But this would not prove to be enough to pass this rite of passage. That wont be enough. Im sure youve already realized. That those wont solve the fundamental issue at hand. This is merely a means to protect my body. The more time passed, the more rays of light would appear, stronger and faster than before. A situation where the distance and destination was unknown. Thus, per Dam Cheonwoos advice, I had to create a fundamental solution for this issue. And Use all of your supportive skills. Itd seem like I need to face them head on. The fundamental solution turned out to be very familiar to me. Hah! Are you being serious? What do you mean by facing them head on? Theres no opponent in sight! What do you mean by no opponent? It was right there. The rays of light showering from the skies like a hailstorm. If thats not considered as an opponent, then what is? Dam Cheonwoo continued in a shocked voice after reading my thoughts. Are you truly thinking of what Ive read? You intend on destroying this entire ce? No need to say out loud what everyone knows its a realm created by a divine being. It will never break that easily. Ill find out after I try it. Ive already thought this through beforehand. But no matter how many times I thought about it, I didnt think that it would be indestructible. Youll find out after you try it.. Hahaha! Right! Thats right! I suppose youre right sometimes! Dam cheonwoo spoke excitedly, then silently did what was tasked of him. Activating Soul Ego Skill of True Blood Demon Sword < Mana Berserk(A+) >. The quality of mana is increasing.. Activating Soul Ego Skill of True Blood Demon Sword < Thought eleration(A-) >. elerating the thoughts. Activating the True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s Soul Ego skill < Small Heart(B+) >. An artificial mana facility that supports the movement of mana is created. The mana flowing through the circuit pulsed on explosively, and the newly created artificial mana facility started to support its flow. They were the support skills of Dam Cheonwoo. At the same time that the world turned slow as if watching a slow-mo video, the world expanded. Activating skill Battle Concentration. The concentration of user increases sevenfold. Afterpleting the preparations, I concentrated my consciousness towards the air. The sky continued to shine, ready to rain down rays of light, and I patiently gathered up my will. Activating the skill Starlight. The moment both of my swords were imbued with explosive starlights. I controlled the activation of starlights through coating the des using divine power. It was almost like a light saber that I could use without Counter Shield. It was a technique that I replicated from being inspired by the Starlight imbued into the Holy Sword. However, it could not be maintained like back at the 16th floor. The starlight continuously moved with an explosive affinity. No wonder its difficult to maintain it for long. And as a reaction for being kept sealed for too long, the explosion that ensues would prove to be even stronger. But it didnt matter. Rather, it was wee. Since that was precisely the effect I was going for. To be honest, this in itself is pretty explosive, but Im not so sure if it will be enough. Activating skill Sky Break. The limit on breakable things are dispelled. The ability to break everything got imbued within the starlight surrounding the swords. And I changed the course of my flight to fly up towards the sky. Fwoosh! Countless rays of light showered down. But I didnt have any reason to avoid or block any of them. Its time to end this. The moment that the two des drew an arc from the bottom to the top. The shell that was caging the starlight shattered to release all of its energy. Boom! The starlight shot towards the skies relentlessly, and the aftermath of the explosion rang throughout the area. And. Once the rumbling ceased and the sounds returned back. Shatter! I raised my head to the sound of ss breaking, to the results of Light Saber. . The sky was split in half and exhibited a ck rift. As if space itself has been severed. - - At first, I thought that the appearance of the rift was a type of illusion. But that was not it. You got the achievement Dimensional Cutter. +4 on all stats. As if to reinforce the fact that Ive truly cut through the space itself, an achievement titled dimensional cutter has been bestowed upon me. Which meant, that that was not just an illusion of sky having been cut, but rather a disy of actual dimension being cut. However, I could not assume its significance. Only an estimation of its importance from receiving a +4 on all stats. Did it seed? No rays of light could be seen from the sky anymore. I theorized that it no longer had the power to shower me with rays of light. Which was precisely the goal. Rumble! The clouds got sucked into the rift and a new message appeared. The Sky Breaking Sword managed to break whats difficult to break to rank up to A+(10,000/10,000). The item has met the requirements to rank up from A+ to S-. I learned a few things from this rite of passage. Special requirements are met. Youve destroyed the Path of Heavenly Lights of Heavenly Armory. The Light Swordmaster has recognized the existence of challenger Han Sungyeun. That the 17th floors trial, too, is very closely involved with divinity. And The Light Swordmaster finds challenger Han Sungyeun interesting. That I somehow managed to attract the interest of another divine entity. The Light Swordmaster bestows challenger Han Sungyeun with the right to be tested as an heir. That at least, was certain.[To be continued.] Chapter 156: Light Swordmaster (4) ————-? Chapter 156: Light Swordmaster (4) -?
The Light Swordmaster bestows challenger Han Sungyeun with the right to be tested as an heir. Light Swordmaster. The moment that the divine entity said to have ascended a long time ago bestowed me the right to take the heir test. Path of True Heaven is opening. Between the rift of apletely severed dimension, a new portal emerged. The god of dark is congratting challenger Han Sungyeun by pping like a seal. The god of proof is warning the Light Swordmaster to stop the nonsense. The god of dragon is pouting asking why you are not taking their heir test but taking this bastards heir test. Light Swordmaster is growling and chasing everyone out for being too nosy and bothersome. Additionally, more higher entities eyes were included now. Just what was happening? for this many divine entities to be involved? I wish they all just disappeared right now. To be honest, I just wanted to yell at them to all get lost. But all of these divine entities looked at me favorably or were on the neutral stance. So it was inadvisable to oppose them. what sins have youmitted in your past lives to have brought forth such disturbances? Perhaps Dam Cheonwoo also felt the presence of multiple eyes on us. His tone portrayed that he was very tired of it. I have the same question myself actually. Dam Cheonwoo, who spoke of the candidate that the tower selected and whatnot, should know more about this situation than I. From all the information that Ive gathered so far, the candidate selected by the tower meant that it was a divine entity that the tower had chosen.. Then wouldnt he know more about the reason for this gathering of gods from other dimensions? And per my theory, Dam Cheonwoo spoke with a hint of knowledge. I get it since youre a candidate, but its definitely notmon to attract the attention of this many gods. But he stopped talking after that, seemingly being unable to tell me more. This great one cant say more, so lets focus on finishing this trial first. So, after ending this meaningless conversation, I flew towards the newly opened portal. Entering Path of True Heaven of Heavenly Armory. The scene changed from shangri to a quiet cave. Pitch-ck, where nothing could be seen. What is this now? They said that I got the right to test to be an heir. But this sensation of difort washed over me seeing that no messages emerged despite the change of location. I was suspecting that this could be a trapid by a divine entity. But that difort did notst long. [ We finally meet. ] Within the sublime voice that cleared up my head like a bright light. A sensation that I was too familiar was being emitted. Divine powers. It was the one trait that every divine entity Ivee across had. I quietly spoke looking towards the small light that appeared at the center of the cave. Light Swordmaster. It was not in the form of a person, but the divine powers being emitted from that small orb of light could not be ignored. Which meant that that light was the divine entity of Light Swordmaster that created this Heavenly Armory. As if to answer me, waves of light flickered throughout the area like the waves of water. [ Correct, I am the Light Swordmaster. Challenger Han Sungyeun, well done reaching this ce.] I had too much to ask to participate in the pleasantries. Why the existence of hidden rites of passages, and how does that secret rite connect to the test to be the heir? And what purpose was there to make me take that test? And countless more questions other than that. However, all the thoughts in my head vanished at what followed. [ Ahh, Acting seriously is definitely not up my alley. Tsk, how bothersome ] . Am I hearing things? It was so absurd that I briefly thought that I was hallucinating. Its bothersome to act serious? I couldnt understand the reasoning behind that. All the divine entities Ive encountered so far had personalities befitting the presence that they held. But hearing them talk like a person who found everything in the world bothersome was preposterous. But what ensued was even more ludicrous. [ Thus, Ill just decide that youve passed the test. Congrats on passing the heir test.] Youre truly insane. Right after hearing that, I realized. That this divine entity was truly the definition of insanity. - - And honestly, there was no need to discuss things keenly with them. After all. This dimension being that of Murim instead of Ares, but there was a possibility that I could add another enemy of divine entity. But there was a reason why I chose to speak so frankly. I need to figure out just how amicable Light Swordmaster is towards me. If they felt disrespected with just this, it meant that they were never friendly in the first ce. But it didnt matter even if they were hostile towards me. Since having to use a worshiper to harm me meant that they could be used as a stepping stone to help me grow stronger. Those who borrowed the power of divine entities were powerful, but it also meant that the rewards would be great. So I have nothing to lose. After the god of battle retired from being my enemy, at this moment, adding one god to oppose was not a big deal. But. [ Insane, am I.? What sharp tongue you have. Although. It doesnt feel too bad hearing such a direct insult in a while.] Despite theck of respect, the Light Swordmaster demonstrated interest rather than anger. Definitely not normal. I asked with narrowed eyes. Are you serious? [ Well, a bit, I suppose. But with the amount of curses I got when I was young, it doesnt really affect me.] . [ Anyways, the heir test is done, so lets get to the point.. ] An attitude unfitting that of a divine entity. For a brief moment, I was bbergasted by such an informal attitude [ Ill give you a few options for the reward. ] I grasped the thread of my mind at the mention of the word reward. The small light continued on with a rxed voice. [ Since you passed the trials of the hidden rite of passage, you have the right to take over my position. ] By taking over your position. [You have the authority to take over my divine powers. If you ept, I can immediately dere you as my apostle to start educating you as.. ] Declined. [ I see. ] Light Swordmaster continued on like they expected this response, and didnt bothertching on unlike the other gods. That in itself was rather interesting, but I was set on getting that reward. But youve said that I had options for the reward. So what are the other options? [ You catch on really quick. Correct, the other reward is this. ] At the end of that sentence, a ne with a small de as a pendant appeared mid-air. The small de glowed dimly like moonlight, and I immediately realized what that item was. A relic. An item that had divine powers. [ Compensation, the shing de Master. Its a type of relic. ] I quickly followed that up with a question. What can it do? [ By using the divine power, you can summon a de made up of light.] Is that all? [ And the summoned des can track the selected target, and once it hits the target, it can ignore a part of the enemys defense and cause damage. ] Then Ill dly ept this I calmly said my thanks and immediately grabbed the shing de Master. If my theory was correct, this had the simr ability as the rays of light that came for me back at the Path of Heavenly Light. Which meant that I could also use those rays of light that bypassed my defense stats to pierce through my body. I couldnt say no to an item like that. I need to get everything thats usable. With that conviction, I quickly put the shing de Master inside my inner pockets. Then the small light flickered brightly. [ Hahaha! What a rascal you are! You epted it without an ounce of hesitation! Usually, people decline at least once before epting it! ] I have a t of not rejecting whats been offered. Ive learned that no amount of pretentiousness would keep me alive. So I had no intention of rejecting it. Furthermore. But to be honest, I think this is not enough. This is not something that Im getting for free, but as a reward for passing through the rites of passages that the Light Swordmaster set. Since this is a reward that Im receiving instead of the right to be an heir, I thought that this wascking as apensation. [ Not enough.huh. You sure are greedy. But rather, I assume thats how you managed to get here thanks to that greed of yours. ] But that mustve excited the Light Swordmaster as the small light started to tremble withughter. [ But I dont hate it. Ill give you thecking reward, and alsopensate you for entertaining me. ] They stoppedughing with a drawn out tone, and the small light emitted a golden energy. Vrrrrm! The golden energy let out an unnatural sound and flowed into the shing de Master in my pocket. [ This is the reward for entertaining me. ] The Light Swormaster added on. [ I added a tracking ability to the relic. Now you can track the target that the de of light injured. ] Thank y. [ And a more interesting ability got added. ] Interesting ability? [ Ive added the function to find my other provisions.] . [ You might want to go find itter. ] Other provisions? I had no idea what they were, but I thanked them. No, I tried to thank them. Provisions my ass. All youre doing is trying to pass down your thieving collections. Until Dam Cheonwoo interrupted me. [ And who are you? ] The 7th Blood Demon Dam Cheonwoo. [ Ah, the leader of the Blood Demon Cult. I remember now. Ive heard of your name among the candidates before.It seems like you failed though. ] Great. Since you know, Ill get to the point. Get rid of the provision detecting ability from that relic. I frowned at that cold tone of voice. Take back the reward that theyre giving me? It was iprehensible. Why are you trying to get rid of that? Youre going to get robbed in broad daylight. The provisions of Light Swordmaster is not something that you can take lightly. What do you. This guy had really bad stealing habits back when they were living. So a lot of people are hostile, including those of Murim, plus a few divine entities. . It means that they just tried to pass down the ticking time bomb of a provision, full of precious things that have been stolen from other divine entities. Is that so? At that, I stared down at that small light with a cold gaze, which then the Light Swordmaster replied. [ Some parts are true, but it wont harm you at all. ] Ha! Wont harm my ass! Theres still countless out there trying to recover all of their stolen techniques, spells, and relics! [ Well, it just means that theres tons of precious treasures. ] Those treasures would be precious only when they can be protected. Dam Cheonwoo turned towards me. The moment you ept the provisions, you will be exposed and targeted by all kinds of organizations and divine entities. Thats why Im telling you to not ept the provision. That would certainly make things difficult for me. Just difficult? Death would be obvious, and youd suffer even after death. The Light Swordmasters provisions are synonymous to a disaster. . The Heavenly Armory uses the techniques of Light Swordmaster as bait, but those provisions are the true inheritance left by them. Which is precisely the issue. To sum it up, the provision detection ability was a white elephant. [ I wont deny the fact that it could be a little dangerous, but all the treasures of the provision are real. ] And the Light Swordmaster did not deny that fact either. [ And if youre reluctant to find the provisions, you just dont have to. The only time that youll be in danger is if you try to find the treasures. ] Is that true? Yes. But theres no reason to carry a time bomb. You never know what will happen. Im sure youll agree to that. . I did not. I had a different opinion from what Dam Cheonwoo said. But in the end, if I have the power to handle it, then I can take those provisions for myself, correct? The treasures that the Light Swordmaster tempt even the divine entities. The benefits were too great to give up. Therefore. Ill look for those provisions when Im strong enough. You dont have to take back that detection ability. I wont decline that reward of provisions. Since that was my growth method. - - A silence rang throughout the cave, but it did notst long. This great ones advices is as worthy as gold. Forget it. Youll be held ountable for your decisions. Dam Cheonwoo spoke with unwillingpliance, but epted my decision. [ I havent had this much entertainment in a while. Right, challengers ought to have this much determination at least. ] Light Swordmaster lit up in excitement. And. [ It reminds me of the times I was climbing the tower. How nostalgic.] Threw out a bombshell of a statement. Times when they were climbing the tower. I spoke without processing the thought.. Nostalgic? Youve climbed the tower? [ Yes, I have. Just like you, I climbed the tower with the conviction of attaining higher status. Of course, now Im tied down to the tower. ] . I was surprised, but not dumbfounded. After all. Ive assumed that the tower created divine entities. I created this conclusion based on the few pieces of information that Ive gathered before. Of course, it was only a theory, but now that has changed. The tower has really been giving out opportunities for challengers to be a god. I almost began to be submerged in deep contemtion, but I had no time to continue thinking. [ How many floors have you climbed so far? By the looks of it, you mustve climbed at least about 30. ] The Light Swordmaster asked me for my number, and before I could reply, Dam Cheonwoo answered for me. 17th floor. With a tone of boastfulness, full of arrogance. But the Light Swordmaster gave no reaction at all. [ . ] To be more specific, they stopped speaking, and then asked with a trembling voice. [ Which floor? ] This time, I answered instead of Dam Cheonwoo. Im currently challenging the 17th floor. It was not an important information, so I answered truthfully. Since the reward was more important to me. [ . ] Anyways, about thecking reward. Id like to receive this in the form of information. [ . ] You mentioned that you were a challenger before, then you must also know about the concept of the candidate chosen by the tower. [ . ] I wish to get more information about that. Just what does it mean by the candidate belong selected by the tower? I attempted to negotiate with the Light Swordmaster. But perhaps there was something that stopped him? [ Which floor did you say that you were on? ] They asked with a dazed, faraway tone of voice. I said that I was on the 17th floor. [ But you already know about the concept of candidates? ] It ended up happening somehow. Thats not the important part, about the information. [ Youve only climbed up until the 17th floor, but you already know about the candidacy, and gathered up this much divine powers already? ] Light Swordmaster muttered as if talking to themselves, and quietly followed on. [ Ill . ] Pardon? [ Ill give you. ] youll give me what? And [ Ill give you a part of my divinity. ] The moment that the Light Swordmaster clearly spoke out. [ Since that would be the best of the rewards I can give you. ] All I could do was to frown in confusion. [To be continued.] Chapter 157: State of Divinity (1) ————-? Chapter 157: State of Divinity (1) -?
The moment that the Light Swordmaster decided on the reward with an overwhelmingly delighted voice. What on earth? All I felt was confusion. After all. Giving me a part of divinity all of a sudden? If it meant what I assumed, then this reward was none like the other. Divinity really meant powers stemming from their souls. The god of battle raged and tried to kill me just because I possessed my individual divinity. And what I found out while fighting against him, was that this power was way too dangerous. The more I trained with it, the more god-like powers I demonstrated. Just from that fact alone, I concluded the dangers that came with it. So it was natural for me to be wary of the reward that the Light Swordmaster offered me. Theyre trying to give me a part of their divinity for no reason. Id be a fool to just ept it as it is. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between us. After all, I didnt know what it really meant by giving a part of divinity. I understood it as giving me a part of the total capacity of the permanent powers attained while being a divine entity, but that might not be what they meant. So I tried to ask for the exact meaning. What does it mean by giving me a part of divinity? And the Light Swordmaster gave me the exact meaning. [ It means exactly that. I am giving you a part of divinity that Ive acquired as a divine entity. ] Truly. [ There would be no harm for you to take this divinity transfer. Since my divinity is not strong enough to consume the divinity of yours that is sleeping within.] It was an answer outside of mymon sense. Even the gods watching over me sent me arrays of messages. The god of proof is yelling at the Light Swordmaster for their sudden choice. The god of dark is warning the Light Swordmaster that they wont end up in a good ce if anything were to go wrong. The god of dragon is expressing strong discontent asking why the sudden offer of divinity. Of course. [ Shut it. ] Once the Light Swordmaster quietly muttered, the gazes of multiple gods were immediately gone. Activating the Divine Realm Ability. All the divine entities that are not within the Divine Realm will be restricted from observation and sending messages But just because the other gods disappeared, didnt mean that my questions were gone. I dont get it. Why are you willing to give me such powers? I had no idea why they were intent on giving me such a reward. The Light Swordmaster only saw me at the 17th floor for the first time, and had no reason to be amicable towards me. Thus I had no reason to ept such hospitality without doubt. And that doubt further increased from the response that followed. [ I cant answer that. ] Within this hospitality, an evil intention could be hidden. Then I wont ept your divinity. Please give me an alternative reward. I had no intention of downing a poisoned alcohol and facing a meaningless death. [ Denied. ] But the Light Swordmaster denied an alternative reward, to which Dam Cheonwoo growled. And what kind of bullshit is this now? Even if you ascended through the tower, if you touch him, you wont be safe. [ Im not joking. ] Bullshit! You know damn well what it means to give divinity! [ I do indeed. And thats precisely why Im intent on giving it. In fact, even if you declined, Ill force it on you. ] Dont cross the line, youre only a dog of the tower. I, nor this brat will stand here and just take it. I started thinking amidst the hostile atmosphere. Is there anotheryer of meaning in giving divinity? Dam Cheonwoo spoke as if giving divinity was toxic. And I had no way of foreknowing the result of receiving the divinity. While I was contemting, I heard the voice of Dam Cheonwoo in my mind. By giving divinity, it means more than just transferring a part of their power. He spoke after seemingly having read my thoughts. Could you exin it more? Its simple really. Divinity is the power possessed by divine entities. Giving that means either one of the two things. Dering the receiver as an apostle, or destroying the receiver using the divinity. [ You need to exin things better. Its not that the divinity is used to destroy the receiver, but only that the receiver is consumed if they are unable to ept the divinity. ] I intervened to ask. Consumed by divinity? What does that mean? Light Swordmaster arguing to exin. [ Divinity holds a type of concept, or an idea. The divinity of light holds the Ideals of light that the god of light has. While the divinity of darkness holds the Ideals of darkness that the god of dark has. ] So what does that have to do with being consumed by divinity? [ Divinity holds Ideals and concepts, and those are thoughts. To sum it up, if you ept the divinity of other gods, your mind could be corroded by the thoughts of those gods. ] . It was not too difficult to understand just how dangerous being corroded by the ideals of gods was. So basically its the perfect method to die psychologically. Rather, it could be more than that. If I were to ept the divinity of Light Swordmaster, I could be controlled by them. Now I understood why Dam Cheonwoo was so aggressive in opposing this. But Light Swordmaster was still very intent on giving me a part of their divinity. [ But you have nothing to worry about. You are strong enough to ovee the divinity that I will give you. So you need to receive. ] But they could not finish that sentence. Dam Cheonwoo scoffed and immediately rebutted. Do you truly believe that this brat can handle your divinity thats been umting for the past few hundred years? [ I do. Hes been chosen after all. Blood Demon, you ought to know as well. That a talent such as this might just be the one that could aplish the goal of the tower. ] Ha! Do you know how many got selected by the tower?! Hundreds, no thousands got chosen! But what happened to them all? They all failed! Every single one of them! [ Which means that its about time it seeded.] After answering, the Light Swordmaster urged my decision. [ You wont regret it, so you better ept this offer. ] But. I decline. I grabbed my two des and declined their offer. After all. Why would I ept something that could potentially take over me? The risk was too great. Experiencing near death was fine. That could be ovee. But can I truly ovee the divinity thats been umting for centuries? Not a chance. [ You decided to ept my provisions, so why not this offer? ] But Light Swordmaster mustve thought differently as they continued the inquiry. Of course, the answer was already decided. I am greedy, but I have no desire to drink a poisoned drink thats forced upon me. [ Is that so? So you epted my provisions since you could always throw it away. ] The Light Swordmaster finally seemed to ept my answer, but did not relinquish. I guess it cant be helped. Ill have to escape this ce. I gathered up every mana within my body and got ready to activate my myths. The blood in my body warmed up and my thoughts raced. What do I do? Even if I got the favor of the tower, its my first time actually facing off a divine being in their entirety. Was it truly possible to escape from the clutches of a god? Many thoughts came by, but in the end, it was not a matter of ifs. But rather must. After concluding my thoughts, I got ready for battle, but. That battle prep got immediately halted after hearing what Light Swordmaster said. After all, That Light Swordmaster that seemed so intent on forcing divinity on me. [ So then whats important is the ability to choose? Then Ill give you options. ] Changed the course of their actions to give me an inconceivable solution. [ shing de Master. ] ? [ Ill put in my divinity in that relic, so ept it when the right timees. ] . [ isnt this what you wanted? ] Are you being truthful? [ I am. ] From the absurdly simple solution, I let out augh. Are they an idiot.? They want me to absorb divinity when I want to? At this rate, they were going to spoon feed me after cooking up a 12 course meal. In suspicion of hidden intent, I asked Dam Cheonwoo for advice. What a lunatic, I cant figure out what theyre thinking. However, even this great one believes that that method wont have an issue. Even the ex veteran challenger acknowledged that there was no hidden intent. Thus my question piqued. Why would you go to this extent? I understood how important the concept of candidacy was in the tower. But what other meaning was there that I was able to grow this much in the lower floors of the tower? But Light Swordmaster did not reply. [ Because I have to. ] . [ I cant go into the details, so just think of it as a contract with the tower. ] What a convenient way to not answer me. The only exnation that they gave me was that it was due to an unknown reason rted to the tower. It was rather difficult to ept as things were, but I had no other options to avoid a fight. Ill ept your offer then. But please make sure to keep true to your words. [ No need to worry about that. Itd be impossible for me to harm you since my leash is held by the tower. ] At the end of that sentence, the shing de Master suddenly let out a bright light and shook. The Light Swordmaster is transferring a part of their divinity per the contract with the tower. Vrrrrrrr! Requirements met. Exclusive Effect Divinity Storage is imbued within the shing de Master(S+). Divinity is stored within shing de Master(S+) and can be absorbed through the will of the user. However, in order for the item to store a new divinity, the preexisting divinity must be emptied first. The new abilities got added to the shing de Master and it glowed with a faint light. Since I too possessed divinity, I knew. That this was.. . A Real Divinity without a doubt. Divinity of Harmony. I never thought that youd ept the divinity of Light Swordmaster in this manner.Really, I still cant figure out what they want at all. I agreed. I never thought that Id get such strong divinity. And since the ability imbued in the relic has been officially recognized by the tower of trials. I basically got divinity without needing to pay a price. [ This is all. Now Im feeling rather faint. You go on and continue the trials. ] Light Swordmaster mustve been affected by it as they spoke with a weak voice. After all, It is a part of their divinity that they just handed over all of a sudden. It would be more weird for nothing to happen. Youve cleared the Path of True Heaven of Heavenly Armory. Youve met the requirements. The doors are opening. Rumble! I hesitated to speak while a new portal appeared at the center of the cave. . For some reason I thought that they would say more things after passing on the divinity. And my hesitation melted like snow at what followed. [ No need to say anything. I got what I wanted, and you got what you wanted.] I meanThat is true [ If you ever have a burning question in the future, reach my provisions. I should be able to tell you the truth then. ] Understood. I gave up on getting more information from Light Swordmaster. And seeing that manner of speech, they seemed to have no intention to do so either. They were very tired from throwing away a chunk of their divinity after all. I nodded to that. Then the Light Swordmaster floated around the Blood Demon Sword in the form of a small light. [ And you, Blood Demon. Youve previously acquired the rights as well, so when you find my provision in the future, Ill also bestow you the right to be my heir.] Heir. To sum it up, it meant that they were giving the opportunity to live as immortal by bing the apostle of Light Swordmaster, but. Stop the nonsense. This one has no intention of bing someones pet. That goes to the tower, and to you as well. [ I suppose, youve already declined the position in the tower, so what else can I offer? Fine then. Ill watch over your journey from here on in expectation of your future.] Dam Cheonwoo immediately declined that offer, and Light Swordmaster did not persist either. [ The next rite of passage will be the end of the trial. So you must be more careful than ever.] With thatst sentence, the small light vanished into the darkness. I let out augh while standing in ce momentarily, but offered my thanks. Thank you for letting us know. They did give out lots of information until the very end, so I was slightly grateful. I immediately entered the portal into a new area. It was a hallway made of stones located between the rites of passages. It doesnt look like I arrived straight into the area for the rite of passage. And seeing how no messages appeared, I was most likely near the target destination. While I started to head towards the location, Dam Cheonwoo suddenly spoke. You must have lots of questions, why are you so silent? It felt as if Dam Cheonwoo was looking at my reactions at the sides but pretending to not. I answered that question honestly. You cant even answer me, so why should I? At least you can ask. I can ask you in the waiting room, no need to ask right here, right now. . And you said it yourself. That theres a crazy genius named Heavenly Demon or something. That I did. So I thought that I needed to focus there, and rearranged my priorities. Thats all. The test of Light Swordmaster was pretty dangerous. But since most martial artists always had a few tricks up their sleeves, I could never let down my guard. The man from the previous rite of passage managed to hit me with an invisible force, after all. Itd be best for me to be on my guard. My best option was to give my all for this. At that, Dam Cheonwoo suddenly brought up an unexpected remark. Dont die. It might not look pretty, but as long as you live, you will get opportunities. Survival should be your top priority. To that sincere worry, I lightly answered with a smile. Ill do that even without you telling me. So no need for worries. For some reason, Dam Cheonwoo did not bothering up with a rebuttal and continued the silence. So I stopped talking and silently walked through the hallway. And. The moment I passed through the door to the final rite of passage. Crack! With a heavy blow near my neck, the entire world shook. Activating Advanced Defense, the exclusive effect of Protection Bracelet of a God without a Name(S+). The Bracelet takes the force of unavoidable single strike. Remaining uses -3/4 A single hit, strong enough to activate the exclusive effect of the Protection Bracelet of a God without a Name. What on earth!? The force spreading through my neck got immediately absorbed by the bracelet, and I regained my bnce. The surprise blooming in my mindsted very briefly. After organizing my thoughts, I immediately started to analyze my situation. . The countless corpers without heads throughout this area showed that this was not a unique experience to me. Entering Path of the Last Heaven of Heavenly Armory. Only thest remaining can acquire the martial arts technique of Light Swordmaster. Eliminate all enemy approaching the Path of Last Heaven and be thest one surviving. And the system message that ensued notified me of the reasoning behind this series of events. Current number of survivors 2. In fact. To withstand my Minds de. You are a skilled one unbefitting this boring ce. That young beauty standing at the center of this cave was the cause of this massacre. With the youthful appearance of just reaching the age of adulthood but with an arrogant manner. In those eyes akin to ck pearls, I was overwhelmed. Ive never heard of such a young one being from the orthodox factions nor the unorthodox factions.. But it onlysted for a second. If youre not from either faction, then who are you? After regaining myposure, I grasped my two swords and growled out the question. Isnt it basic manners to introduce yourself first? Basic manners. You speak as if you do not know this one. Thinking that a stranger will recognize you is being too self conscious. Hm, seeing by the interesting choice of your words, you do not hail from orthodox faction. She chucked as if she found something funny. I like it. She smiled with a chilling expression then introduced herself by putting a hand over her heart. Ill answer your question. And Fwoosh! From her came about an energy akin to the darkest of the dark sky. And I finally realized. This one is deemed to be the strongest of the Demonic sect, the strongest of the world, and soon will be the strongest of the universe. Why Dam Cheonwoo advised me to focus on just survival. This one is named the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon. Among the ones from Murim, she was the most vicious entity of all. [To be continued.] Chapter 158: State of Divinity (2) ————-? Chapter 158: State of Divinity (2) -?
Ive heard a few things about the being called Heavenly Demon. At the beginning of this trial, Dam Cheonwoo mentioned a few things about that genius. And to prepare to face them off, Ive been umting as many stat boosts I could. However. I didnt expect them to be this strong. It was inconceivable for someone who just reached the age of adulthood would be this powerful. I had a feeling that every Murim person Ive met so far wouldntst a single hit against the Heavenly Demon. The proof was that I almost died from that single hit while entering this ce. If I didnt have the bracelet or the Last Stand, then I wouldve definitely died. The one hit from that technique named Minds de was definitely threatening. I could not feel its presence, and even while being hit, I could not figure out what I was hit with. Only that I assumed that it was a hit from a de from seeing her be armed with a pitch ck longsword. Youve encountered a very strong opponent. Activating skill Indomitable Will. After seeing the message of a strong opponent. I immediately activated every skill that could be used. And. Activating the Myth . +10 on all stats. Activating the special buff . As long as your will prevails, +7 on all stats. You can open the information of skills that the opponent will use temporarily. Even activated the most trustworthy myth at this moment. It was truly an ability that could be considered a cheat skill against opponents that are stronger than me. However, the more buffs I got from this myth, the more disadvantageous the situation was for me. After all. What do I do? The system analyzed that despite all these buffs, the opponent was still very difficult to win. To be honest, this level of strong opponent could not be fought against alone. So it could be another option to avoid the fight. Only thest remaining can pass the final trial, huh how vicious. Itd be impossible to ignore a monster like her. With no way to retreat, I didnt have any options. Ive told you. The Heavenly Demon is beyond the realms of understanding. Even if this is a fake simtion, Heavenly Demon is still a Heavenly demon. Can you stop nagging and please help me figure out a n? Hehehe! Are you scared now that youre facing her? Well, even if I say that, I really dont have any ns either. really, you dont even have any information on her weak spots or a guide? Do you think its that easy to get the title of Best of the world? If they had a weak spot, then they wouldve never been able to acquire that title in the first ce. Stop trying to take the easy way out. what a useful advice you give out. After the sarcasm, I ended the conversation with Dam Cheonwoo right there. I tried to get advice from him as he seemingly knew many things about the Heavenly Demon. But Dam Cheonwoo also had no idea of any weak spots. It was devastating. But I couldnt give up entirely so I gathered up my spirits while gritting my teeth. First, let me try to analyze how many skills they have. It was hope as thin as a thread, but it could still help me get an upper hand. Since I had countless different battle skills, I had a really good chance of getting the upper hand. So I could also figure out the best way to fight against the Heavenly Demon while fighting her. However. Why are you standing still? The issue was whether or not Id be able to drag the battle until that point. This one. I had no more time to think. Does not like those who think too much. If you n on making this one wait, then Ill go first. The moment that the Heavenly Demon stopped watching me to gather up energy as dark as the night sky. I quickly took a deep breath while mustering up my strength. Activating the special power Dragon Transformation. For 10 minutes, the total mana amount will increase twofold. For 10 minutes, some draconic features will be disyed. For 10 minutes, All abilities and interference rted to mana will improve. Dragon Transformation Once I activated the power that I got from the Heir of Dragon Lord achievement, my body underwent many different transformations. Two small horns appeared on my head like a dragon and the mana that I possessed increased twofold. But I had no time to enjoy that. An unnatural heat from deep inside me increased exponentially and fire started to leak from my mouth. And I understood what this was to a degree. That this was the breath of the dragon race that aremonly seen throughout ancient mythologies, and at the same time, it was the absolute fire spirit that could burn everything down So. Dragon Breath. The force did not stop at a small ball of fire. Boom! The walls of the cave broke from the force of the fire to melt and tear down. The unscratchable ce despite countless martial artists running amok being broken meant one thing. That this breath of dragon had an insane force enough to destroy everything. But. An excellent heat attack, but tis not enough to entertain this one. Even this dragon breath was rendered useless in front of an absolute genius. Fwoosh! The crimson fire got split in half, and the appearance of Heavenly Demon got revealed. She looked as if she was leisurely walking through a park. Her sword stayed sheathed as well. Which meant that the Heavenly Demon cut through the dragon breath just using her energy alone. Feeling a shiver run down my back, I attempted to swing my sword to attack her with shes. Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Minds de. After seeing the message appear, I instinctively stopped my attacks to twist my body. Strongly activating the skill Sixth Sense. I had a feeling that I had to. To say the results, it was an excellent choice to change the course of my action. Fwoosh! Seeing a threadline shing path of the ce where my body was, I understood. I almost got hit by the Minds de again. I got no joy from being able to avoid that hit. Since I wasnt able to detect the Minds de. I read the skills that the opponent was going to use beforehand through the special buff of . And catched on the Minds de instinctively to barely avoid the attack. Which meant that this luck would not continue for much longer. It wont do if Im constantly on the defensive. I need to be on the offensi. The thoughts could not continue. Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Minds de. I immediately escaped the ce I was at seeing the system message. Crack! And again, the same thread of the path of the sword was drawn across the space. Without being able to calm the waves of shivers coursing throughout my body, the attacks continued. Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Minds de. Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Minds .. Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill . Just how many times can she use this skill? To be more specific, the Minds de is not a skill. However, the system ssified it as a type of skill. Despite it all, the Minds de was excessively strong. It would consumerge amounts of mana on top of will. But. Crack! Activating Advanced Defense, the exclusive effect of Protection Bracelet of a God without a Name (S+). The Bracelet takes the force of unavoidable single strike. Remaining uses -2/4 Despite avoiding tens of hits, the Minds de did not stop. And the advanced defense that I tried so hard to save up was used. Once it activated, the continuous attacks stopped all of a sudden. You seem to have many different interesting abilities. The Heavenly Demon stroked her chin while looking at me with interest. Spitting fire like spiritual beings, being able to avoid unlike the skills youve demonstrated so far, and now you are blocking my Minds de with unseeable powers. As if she finally found an interesting toy to y with. This one hopes that you can be entertaining for a little longer. And. Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Minds de. She continued on to storm me with attacks. Crack! Crack! Crack! Countless shes poured out and I barely managed to avoid them all. To be honest, it didnt feel so great. The opponent was looking down on me and treated me like an interesting toy. Which is why she still hasnt unsheathed her sword and attacked me with Minds de. To see how long I willst. She will most likely y with me until just before breaking and then dispose of me once she gets tired. What a predictable ending. A situation where my original ns of skill affinity fight became impossible. A condition that is unfavorable no matter how you looked at it. I understood why Dam Cheonwoo worried about my psychology so much. I cant even get a chance to swing my sword, so no wonder everyone else would be devastated. It couldnt be helped. The attacks couldnt be detected nor be blocked so easily. Even dodging them wouldve been impossible if I didnt have the special buff activated. But I was not discouraged. There will be opportunities. Even in this hopeless battle, opportunities to turn the tide existed. I originally nned to wait until she couldnt use Minds de, but that was out of the picture now. It was time to take out the hidden card from my sleeve. Holy Bead of a God without Name(S+). The item that I got from the trial of 15th floor was pretty simple. That it can seal the most powerful technique of my opponent. Since the Minds de must be the strongest technique of Heavenly Demon. With this item, I ought to be able to reverse the tide of the battle. Im sure that this will give me an advantage in this battle. But I hesitated in using this card. Because I wanted to learn more about that technique called Minds de. Some people might say that I am asking for my downfall due to excessive greed. But I still wanted to learn about that technique. Sword techniques that cant be seen. Where on earth could I see another technique such as this? If I could learn this, then I could use Sword Masters Path to acquire in the form of a skill. Which will add onto the benefits that I could get. Its not an option anymore, I must learn it. Of course, I was not throwing a baseless tantrum to learn it. No matter how good I caught on things, it was impossible for me to learn invisible things. Which is also the reason why I decided to kill that man who used Trap Fighter, which was also another invisible technique. If it couldnt be seen, then I couldnt learn it. However. After my ability to manipte and interfere mana increased through dragon transformation, I realized one thing. In this state, the mana at rest and even the hidden mana could be detected. So I understood. Minds de does not use mana. It was certain. Heavenly Demon was not manipting mana at all. Which meant that the Minds de did not use mana. Now an issue arose here. If the Minds de did not use mana to be activated, I couldnt understand the basis of its activation. It almost felt like powers being used at the state of discipleship. Almost as if she was manipting the natural mana by affecting it with divine powers. However, the natural mana was not moving either, and the Heavenly Demon was not using mana as fuel. Which means that there is another source of energy that can rece mana. I was wondering just what the cost was to activate Minds de. Since I felt that I could also use it as long as I found that missing puzzle piece. Within a short moment, I realized that puzzle piece. I found an unnatural part while I was concentrating on the Minds de. Colorless and odorless. This was the characteristic of the technique, but even this faint power still had a source. And that was. Divine powers? Divinity that was stored in the heart. Of course the divinity had no actual affinity yet, and as soon as the concentration was dispersed, its presence was gone. But the divine powers within me proved that that was a sure trace of divinity. A very small whisper that cant be heard without paying very close attention. But I trusted the divinity within me and also knew how to use it. If it can react to me just from my concentration, then the Minds de definitely uses divine powers. At that, I remembered what the dimensional challenger named Seindal said. In a secret ancient ruin, there was an ancient document that said that distinguished magicians or knights can break through their limits through faith Seindal added. Through the faith of people, divinity would umte in the heart with mana circles. And with that, you can reach a higher level of magic to be the grand magician That divinity can be umted through faith. And that magicians be grand magicians through that process. So what part did divinity y for them to ascend into grand magician? Before, I thought that it was due to powers and myths acquired through divinity, but there was a need to revise that thought. What if there was a method to use divinity alone? That was it. Until now, I did not think that divinity itself had no power behind it. But if it did actually have power, then everything could be answered. The leader of Heavenly Demon cult, a being feared by thousands.. If the Heavenly Demon, who is at the perfect ce to umte faith, did not use mana but something else, then the answer was clear.. possible. Theres a way to use divine powers independently. I shivered from realizing that and changed the target of my concentration. I raised my alertness towards the Heavenly Demon and coated my eyes with divine powers. The world changed to be covered with ck spots and lines. And. I see it. The moment I covered my eyes with divine powers with the sentiment of grabbing a rotten thread of hope. I saw a gray energy flowing out of her heart. Despite mana being standstill, this gray energy was clearly moving. And I saw. The crimson light among the flowing gray light. That was a different energy than divine powers and something that I knew very well. Thats it. The process of creating the Minds de. At that, I moved my divine powers using the gray divinity as an example. Activating skill Battle Concentration. The time flowed slowly. Seeing, following, and understanding the divine powers of Heavenly Demon. And while that process took ce in the flowing time, I restudied the process thoroughly. After enveloping my eyes with divine powers, her attacks became easy to dodge, and my understanding of its functions grew exponentially. Now I see what Minds de is. After a few minutes, which felt like hours, passed. I dispelled Battle Concentration. And proceeded to activate what I understood with fierce concentration. And . sh! Once a new type of attack emerged, the indiscriminate attacks towards me stopped. Now youre beyond entertaining me. This one is excited now. After all. To think that youd learn to use Minds de in that short amount of time. I seeded. Really. I thought that useless ones gathered here at the armory, but it seems that I was wrong. Understanding and using Minds de. Despite not being a part of the ranks, youre already using the Minds de. What a gem you are A situation where the Heavenly Demons previous void eyes were filled with unnatural desire. I quietly smiled looking at her. I seem to have skipped a few steps despite my imperfect Sword Aura. . But I finally learned Minds de. [To be continued.] Chapter 159: State of Divinity (3) ————-? Chapter 159: State of Divinity (3) -?
Minds de. This chilling technique that can gift death unannounced, had an unexpected principle. That it is produced by divinity which was previously thought as requiring myth or powers to manifest. I was rather shocked at that, and after observing the Heavenly Demon, I could understand how it worked. Learning it was absurdly too easy. It was Processing internal divinity through mana that has been refined by will. It was to use mana as a medium to disperse will into divine powers. Of course, if anything went wrong, my heart wouldve exploded. Since divine powers oppose mana. But I realized after seeing the will used by the Heavenly Demon. Just like the affinity being imbued in Sword me, the mana that is to be used as a medium can also have affinity imbued. And through that affinity, you can reduce the opposition between mana and divine powers, and use mana as the medium to transfer will. But this is not enough. Just because I learned Minds de didnt mean that I changed the tide of the battle. The minds de creates an undetectable de of divinity through the use of mana medium. The Heavenly Demon used Minds de as if it was second nature to her.. But since I just now learned this technique, I had no proficiency in it. And after understanding its principles, I also understood that this would have no use between those who can both use minds de. After all. Since the Minds de is a manifestation of divine powers, it cant conceal itself from the detections using divine powers. The divinity within the heart can be expanded through the body to increase the range of divine power detection. And since that alone is enough to fight against the Minds de, the Heavenly Demon wont be affected by my Minds de. You are worthy of facing my de. The Heavenly Demon calmed her excitement and hovered her hand over her des handle. As if she was ready to unsheathe her sword right now. This one hopes that you can be more entertaining. Avoiding the strikes of Heavenly Demon while using Minds de? That was impossible to do. You shouldnt have too many expectations. So. Since I am done being toyed around with. Activating the exclusive effect Absolute Seal of the item Holy Bead of a God without Name(S+) Please select the opponent to use the absolute seal on. It was time to use the hidden card up my sleeve. Selectionplete The strongest ability of Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is sealed. Special power Dignity of Heavenly Demon is temporarily sealed. Parts of divinity maniption and skills are under restriction. Restriction time left : < 00:29:59 >. Phsssst! The item Holy Bead of a God without Name(S+) is destroyed. The moment the holy bead on my left hand returned back into particles of light with a clear sound. Ugh! Wha, what on earth!? The chilling obsidian energy emitted from the Heavenly Demon diminished a little. My upper dantian and middle dantian have been sealed..? What on earth is this! Prideful, aloof, and overwhelming. The Heavenly Demon possessing untouchable might showed a change of emotion for the first time. Which meant that this was the perfect opportunity to defeat her. Fwoosh! White Sword Pierce. Activating skill Storm Sword. The de is imbued with wind affinity due to the skill Storm Sword(C+). From the White Sword Piece, the technique of the second book was demonstrated through the Blood Demon Sword. Once the Sword me was condensed within the de, the will was sharply gathered on top of de to imbue it with a new affinity. An affinity named Defense Pration, rather the most destructive affinity, was imbued. But this wasnt enough. I have to prepare for her after she blocks the Defense Pration. Due to the traits of the Sword me, it could only be imbued with a maximum of two affinities. Since the Sword Aura was an absolute cutting affinity, I couldnt exclude that. And on top of Defense Pration affinity, its ability to defend against Sword Aura wascking. But I gathered up my mind to its limit while gritting my teeth. The Heavenly Demon is the strongest of the strong. If I cant defend myself against Sword Aura, this single strike will also be blocked meaninglessly. Activating < Imprint Skill : Will Reinforcement(B+) > of True Blood Demon Sword. After surpassing the boundary of will, I seeded in imbuing a third affinity. The Blood Demon Sword cried out with a loud ck wind and shot out Activating the Exclusive Skill of Harmonic Soul Demon Sword, Double Attack. Booom!! The techniquepleted through every potential I had shot out towards the Heavenly Demon. But the results werent promising. Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Protection of Big Dipper. This is all you do after sealing two of my dantians? Energy of Big Dipper. Dark crimson stars faintly sparkled to protect the body of Heavenly Demon. It was on an entirely different level than hat Nam Gunghyuk demonstrated before. . In a way, that defense was basically a cheat. The surrounding energy itself responded to the Heavenly Demon to scatter the will I shot out. I felt a shiver run down my back and quickly increased the distance between us. Closed rangedbat had no meaning now. After all, all of my will would disappear at contact with Protection of Big Dipper. youre telling me that that wasnt her strongest ability? It was absurd. After sealing her ability called Dignity of Heavenly Demon, I thought that most of her abilities also disappeared. But the Heavenly Demon had plenty of techniques to kill me without it. Damn it. I had no time to linger in the devastating sensation. It is a bit disappointing this time. After all. So make sure to entertain this one even more from now. The obsidian colored longsword of the Heavenly Demon was pointed towards me. It meant one thing. If you dont, this one might identally kill you. That from here on, it was a duel for survival. - - ng! The two swords at hand trembled from the recoil of blocking the strike with a force of an entire mountain. Boom! My knees bent from the force and the ground sunk in. Guh, Haa. After letting out a groan, I loosened my grip on my sword to slide off her sword and stepped backwards. Despite my stats increasing by tens, my entire body was creaking. What a good sword. A sword that hasnt shattered from this ones strikes.. Have been truly far in between. The Heavenly Demon looked down at me with pride and let out augh. But that is not enough. This one desires to see you, not your sword. This was not a battle. Now. Show me. The sword that can bring entertainment to this one. Just an ill-natured prank. . I grit my teeth and swiftly avoided the hits to retreat a few steps. There was no time to be doing this. I didnt know how many minutes had passed, but the seal of her ability wouldntst forever. So I had to corner her as soon as possible. I cant see. Any weak spots on her. There was no way that such irond energy could be prated. No, even without Protection of Big Dipper, the Heavenly Demon was an opponent reigning supreme in the arts of fighting. Unlike myself, who learned martial arts over the shoulder, she had an in-depth knowledge and understanding of martial arts. And going through this joke of a battle, I could feel it in my bones. Exactly. The Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Demonic Sword of Heavenly Illusion. Like now. Rumble! The sword engulfed in obsidian energy was swung, and the sword silhouette covered the eyes a momentter. Then the sword silhouette increased to the point of covering everything and gathered up like a tsunami. It was an overwhelming sight of shadow swords covering the entirety of the cave. Damn. Hiding the truth while showing the empty. It was a trick that clearly fulfilled the philosophy of illusions. Although I was able to see the truth behind the Change Manifestation of the plum blossom sword user back at the Path of Poisoned Parasite. But the Sword Silhouette that the Heavenly Demon jokingly shot out was so intricate that its truth couldnt be perceived. After all, The Sword Silhouette had such fierce energy to the point that it could be called the real thing. I cant tell which one is the real one. The plum blossom swordsman back then was not at this level. Devastation swept me up. The knowledge of being unable to see the real thing gifted me with the fear of death. However, that devastation did notst long. The Piercing Sword fools the eyes. But thats it. Shadows are shadows after all, even if it feels real, it cant have the same force as the real one. Dam Cheonwoo who stayed silent till now spoke up. It was a serious voice unbefitting him, but thanks to that, my mind cleared up. if you cant see it, close your eyes and focus on your senses. Closing my eyes. you are a hatchling when ites to martial arts, but you are a ripe fruit as a challenger. And focusing. Focus. You have the Minds Eye. Youll be able to see where the real attackes from soon. Dam Cheonwoo said all the right things. Strongly activating the skill Fire Dragons Eyes. After concentrating on the skill, I observed the shadows of the sword flying about. After that. Activating skill Sixth Sense. I realized that those swords had no actual form. It was only a hunch, but with my skill activated, it only meant one thing. This hunch is sufficient to be used as a fact. At that, I stood still to analyze the moving sword silhouettes.. Swoosh! An unnatural movement was detected within it. And ording to my sixth sense, it felt real. Activating de of Light, the exclusive effect of shing de Master(S+). Creating multiple shing des using divine powers. shing de Master. Using the relic from the Light Swordmaster, I shot out des of light towards the sword that my senses told me was real. At that, the Heavenly Demon also noticed that I realized the real sword and revealed the attack. Crash! Although it was the de of light with the absurd effect of ignoring tenacity stats. But in front of the Sword Aura, it vanished like an illusion. In turn, I manipted the mana with exclusive affinity to stimte my divine powers. Minds de. If the Sword me nor items worked on her, then all I had left was divine powers. And that mustve been the correct decision as a loud echo of crashing rang out. Crack! It was the sound of something breaking, but I couldnt dere it a positive thing. Reason being. My Minds de. Was destroyed. What won was not my minds de, but the Heavenly Demons Sword Aura The reason of destruction was also self-exnatory. Even if I knew the theory behind Minds de, it was impossible for me to demonstrate it at the same level as an expert. And even if it was superior to Sword Aura, my Minds de could not ovee it. So I quickly reacted to ready myself for the continuous attacks. Crack! Activating Advanced Defense, the exclusive effect of Protection Bracelet of a God without a Name(S+). The Bracelet takes the force of unavoidable single strike. Remaining uses -1/4 But it failed. Need to get ready for the next. Crack! Activating Advanced Defense, the exclusive effect of Protection Bracelet of a God without a Name(S+). The Bracelet takes the force of unavoidable single strike. Remaining uses -0/4 It failed again. The Protection Bracelet of a God without a Name(S+) is destroyed. Psssssssh. The green bracelet on my wrist scattered like dust. You said that youre done being toyed with, but how long will you be tricked by this one? From the Sword Silhouette that still remained, the voice of Heavenly Demon echoed out. If theres nothing else to show this one, then you must ready yourself for death. As soon as thest words were spoken, a chilling energy emerged mid-air. The Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul is using the skill Sky Breaking Reconstructing Sword What is that now. It was overwhelming. The de that suddenly appeared in the air was a Minds de but not a Minds de. Seeing the Minds de embracing the principles of Sword Aura was chilling to my core. Ive blocked her ability to manipte divine powers so it was inconceivable to see her use Minds de, but Did she rece divine powers with mana!? With my half bakedprehension of divine powers, I understood how she was able to use Minds de. Producing divine powers through mana. Something that Ive attempted before, but failed even to this day. Despite seeing the technique right in front of my eyes, I still couldntprehend the theory behind it. Im going to go insane. I felt an immediate sense of danger at that. If I cant block that, I wont even have a ce to retreat to. I couldnt allow for a fatal hit at this time. Activating skill Sky Break. The limit on breakable things are dispelled. Ive invested every mana that I gained from the Dragon Transformation. Since the Sky Break could break the essence itself, perhaps it could block the Minds de of the Heavenly Demon. It was only a sliver of hope, but I had to grab it nevertheless. After all, what else could I do? itsing. The moment Dam Cheonwoos mutterings ended, the ck de created mid-air struck down like lightning. At that exact timing, I swung as if to exchange my two swords and both des smashed into each other. Krrrrk!! The sh was only momentary. Shatter! In the end, the Sky Break was an ability with sword ki affinity, and it couldnt overpower the Minds de. After all, the Minds de could intercept thews of other sword ki. And. Ah. Stab! The obsidian de finally pierced through my heart. - - Activating skill Last Stand. The fatal attack is nullified. Every sense is amplified temporarily and all skills are calibrated. The skill is on cooldown for a week.. As if the time was reversed, the hole in my heart disappeared. Even though I should be happy in these situations, I could not. After all. That must be yourst. The Heavenly Demon dispelled the Sword Silhouette to stare at me. Lets end this now, shall we? I sensed it. You were an excellent ything. Well, you did rely too much on items rather than your own abilities, but it still was satisfying. That it was truly the time that I will face death. But you did entertain this one greatly, so three attacks will be bestowed upon thee. There was no hope. All the hidden cards were revealed, and Sword Aura could not be learned. At least I could grasp the surface concept of Sword Aura. . Without replying to her, I imbued my will into the swords on my hand. Sword Aura.. Was most likely a simr ability that uses a medium to transfer will. The only difference was that it needed enough power to be able to affect the surrounding mana just from sword aura.. Its worth a try. After taking a deep breath. Tap! I activated my will to its max while attacking the Heavenly Demon. Followed by using the Sword me as a medium of transfer to resonate to the surrounding mana You got the achievement Start of Transcendence. The power ming Sword is evolving into power Big Dipper Sword Aura. the most brilliant clusters of light Ive ever seen seeped into the swords. The Sword Aura emitting a dark crimson light shot out curving like a snake. But that did not reach her. you did well to learn Sword Aura, but tis not worthy of praise. Rip! Before my sword aura could reach the heavenly demon, her minds de stopped it from nearing her. And as soon as my sword aura made contact with her obsidian minds de, it ripped apart like tissue papers. Activating skill Starlight. Ignoring the weight of failure on my shoulders, I attempted to shoot out ck star lights towards her Fsssssh! This is not worthy of getting a passing mark either. Even that could not bypass her Protection of Big Dipper and vanished right on contact. Ive allowed you for a total of three attempts at me. Only one remains now. The Heavenly Demon looked towards me with an uninterested tone of voice. Seeing you continue to rely more on wares instead of yourself. At nce, her eyes held nothing but void. This one has nothing to look forward to from you anymore. But really, that was. Contempt. A gaze that I knew the best. I felt the sensation of failure waver at that. That precise gaze, the gaze of contempt, was what led me to start my obsessions before it turned into my desire to climb the tower. All of a sudden, the words of Hero of a Fallen World came to my mind. But that feeling is only a motivation. It does not determine your end point. Right now, all that you are is just a lump of desires. My journey as a challenger started as a rebellion against that contempt. I knew the beginnings, but my motivation became hazy somewhere along the way. Just what made me continue this path? I think I finally realized it. I. Didnt want to be despised by anyone. I didnt want to lose to anyone. I did not want to be oppressed by anyone. The reason why I chose to climb the tower, and continue to climb it, was because those absences couldnt be filled by anything. Perhaps if I lived on earth, this mightve not happened. Earth was nothing but a small well, after all. I couldve been acknowledged by everyone from being a top hunter. But the tower was different. Every floor I climbed, the enemies that appeared were stronger than before. And those otherworldly dimensional challengers used techniques never seen before on earth. These wouldve never been made known to me if I stayed as a frog in the well called Earth. But now I realized that theres more to the world than the well. From that point on, the course of my actions were determined. Ive met so many entities on an entirely different level than me. Theyve all been beings akin to natural disasters for me. Having death as mypanion while feeling mixed emotions towards the hostility and friendliness of divine entities. That, to this day, still hasnt changed. It was just a small wish of resisting oppression. But fulfilling that small wish proved to be too arduous. Requirements met. That devastating reality greatly motivated me. Your potential of grim reaper is nearingpletion. Fsh! Strongly activating the power Divinity. My eyes became enveloped by ck divine powers. The moment the ck flow was seen. The world bloomed like watercolor unlike before while my heart started beating loudly. Everything slowed down, and everything became hazy. The ck flow of energy shook within the world that looked like smeared paint. The lines that had no meaning gathered up, and those lines coalesced into a single path leading to an end point. And. At the end of that path, a clear, single ck dot existed. Instinctively, I followed that path to attack and thought. I dont want to lose. I knew. That leaving the well doesnt mean that I will fulfill every desire of mine. At most, I could enjoy the fruits of the tower to be a divine entity. But still, I still wanted to prove it. Prove what? That I will not lose given the opportunity Lose to whom? To me. why? Because I dont want to regret it. It could end up being an eternal process. After all, the more I grew, the stronger the enemies became on an eternal cycle. But the destination was clear. To not be oppressed by anyone. The sword cut through the flow. And never be hindered by anyone. It was just a single strike, not too light nor not too heavy. To be able to stand firm by myself. But my instincts whispered with a peculiar certainty. That this single strike can easily destroy something like Protection of Big Dipper. And continue walking firmly on my desired path. An eternal moment of a second passed and my sword cut through the flow to reach the ck spot at the end. The next moment. That was what I wanted. Craaaack!! After destroying the Heavenly Demons Protection of Big Dipper, the Blood Demon Sword pierced through her heart. [To be continued.] Chapter 160: State of Divinity (4) ————-? Chapter 160: State of Divinity (4) -?
Protection of Big Dipper. That is something that can be said to be indestructible. The big dipper went beyond creating a new will like the sword aura. It could even interfere with the preexistingws. A skill that imbues the surrounding mana into the users will and deconstructing anything thates into contact with it. Finality. That would be the only word that could describe it. However. . The technique that is near its finality, that could not be destroyed by anything else. It broke? The de that moved with almost no willpletely pierced through the barrier. How on earth.? The ck flow that could be seen after getting the potential of the grim reaper. The moment the de followed that seemingly meaningless flow. It knocked the ck dot on the Protection of Big Dipper, and shattered it. And. Ugh. This miraculous feat brought forth an even more surprising result. Drip. The Heavenly Demon vomited a dark crimson blood after her heart got pierced. Rather than being in pain, her expression was full of confusion. what is this? Although standing itself mustve been a struggle, she stood with a question. Splurt! Once the Blood Demon Sword was pulled out from her heart, the Heavenly Demon staggered backwards. She held over her heart and shook violently. Huff, Hnng, Haaaa. It seemed as if she was trying to restore her pierced heart through mana. The power Divinity is activated. I knew that it had no meaning. ck divine powers attached to the Heavenly Demons heart and it prevented the restoration. As if it was determined to kill her, the ck divine powers bit through her heart. Cough..! Gray colored divine powers flowed outwards from her heart. Even without reinforcing my eyes with divine powers, I could see clearly that her divine powers were leaking. Thats how broken the Heavenly Demon was. my middle dantian is broken. Dam Cheonwoo spoke in my head while the blood demon sword vibrated. true innate qi and even her divine powers will bepletely destroyed. I already knew it. Even without hearing it from him, I knew that the Heavenly Demons attempts were meaningless. The Heavenly Demon was spilling blood on the floor now. Have you. been mocking this one, ..till now? At her question, instead of answering her, I just shook my head side to side. Is that so. The Heavenly Demon let out a shortugh and muttered. you, camest, but have.. The right to ascend.. In those ck pearl-like eyes of hers, a sense of futility filled it. Why. Not this one but you, got the right..? With those words, the Heavenly Demon stopped talking. And. Youve absorbed the soul of the Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul. Proficiency increased by 24.7%. The ck mist emerging from her body flowed into me. Stronger soul than the user has been absorbed. Starting the power absorption selection process. Everything felt unreal. Truth is that I am too weak to stand here. If the fight urred as the natural flow of things, I wouldve died. The Heavenly Demons Protection of Big Dipper was on an entirely different level than the Sword Aura that I manifested. Even with the minds de and sword aura. Regardless of which skill I used, that shield wouldve stayed unyielding. But I managed to break her Protection of Big Dipper and pierced through her heart. Selection Complete. That was the result of my determination. No, to be specific, it was the result of the growth of my divinity. I remembered. A message stating that my potential of grim reaper was nearingpletion. Despite not wanting it, the divine powers suddenly covered my eyes. And the ck flow of energy created a path for my sword, and once I followed that parth, the Protection of Big Dipper could be pierced through. Powers detected in the soul of the Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul. Extracting power from the soul. The Heavenly Demon gave me a hint of what that was before her death. The right to ascend, really, too direct of a hint. Am I nearing divine entity now..? I couldnt understand why the divinity was nearing itspletion all of a sudden. I recalled why I started to climb the tower at the moment of near death. The desire that rooted itself in what Icked became my obsessions. Did my obsession of rejecting oppression create this miracle? . I didnt know. But there was a possibility. Divine powers do react to determinations, after all. Perhaps there was a new path that reacted to a strong explosion of emotions. It was a miracle that could not be exined with something else. Special Power Lineage of the Heavenly Demon(S+) is engraved in user Han Sungyeuns soul. Fwoosh! I woke up from my thoughts due to the sudden trembling within my body. As if I was going through a shift, my entire body started moving oddly. As I was frowning at that, the Blood Demon Sword shook and spoke. Is it finally starting.? As I thought, it was not a coincidence that you defeated the Heavenly Demon.. Dam Cheonwoo spoke with surprise. What do you mean by that? No need for an exnation now. Youll find out soon enough. . the Heavenly Demon that you killed was not aplete one, but at least of the level that can be within the top ten strongest of Murim. Do you think that it was a coincidence that you could defeat such a person? I didnt. The cause and effect were always connected. I know that your ability absorbed the Lineage of the Heavenly Demon. Dam Cheonwoo spoke as if chased by time. Your divinity is nearing itspletion, and after absorbing Lineage of the Heavenly Demon, your energy of mind and body is inplete harmony now. Harmony of mind and body? like what the heavenly demon said before death, now you have theplete right as an official candidate. I widened my eyes at the mention of the word candidate. And realized now. Dont tell me Is a path towards the state of divinity opening up now? But before I could ask that question, I felt my sight darken. Sit down and focus on your inner divine powers. Detachment will start now. Without replying, I quickly sat down. And. Please select your divinity. After making the selection, you can get the appropriate divinity for it. With that, my consciousness ended. - - My eyes opened. . After going through this a few times, I remained calm. Realizing that Ive entered another ce of imagery, I started to analyze my situation. Unlike the spaces Ive seen before, this ce of imagery that waspletely painted white had something off to it. It was. there. A ck door connecting to an unknown path existed. Of course it was unknown as to where that door would lead, but I knew what it was for. Developing divinity. It was tasked with leading me into bing a divine entity. So there was no need for hesitation. Click! The ck doors opened to reveal a familiar picture. A ce of imagery within a ce of imagery. A dimly glowing vortex surrounding a sword, an endless ck background, and a bright light connecting to the upper floors. It was the ce of imagery that Ive seen from borrowing the powers of saint Aileen back at the 11th floor. Boom! The ck door closed by itself once I entered the ce of imagery. Of course, it did not matter since I wasnt nning on going back. Step, Step. I started to walk slowly within the ce of imagery that could be called an inner universe. And let out a bitter smile at the thought that urred to me. State of divinity. Ive assumed that the tower chose candidates to have them ascend into divine beings before. But actually being in the situation made me feel bbergasted. Of course, my powers wouldnt increase drastically even after reaching the state of divinity. At most, it would likely end after absorbing the powers that Ive used at the state of discipleship. But. Thats still a huge gain. < Death >, < Dark >, < Immortality >. The three powers of the divine powers had a truly inconceivable ability. < Death > had the ability to end life with an ability akin to a death god. < Dark > could consume everything using the shadows that resemble the abyss. < Immortality > allowed me to survive through a fatal attack that wouldve killed me. Regardless of which power I got, I could surpass any typical challenger. Even if I couldnt get the power to surpass everything, it didnt matter. I would grow strong enough to be on par with the state of divinity eventually. I bet that the state of divinity that Ill choose will be rted to those. But not all of the aforementioned would be a selectable option. After all. Well, I dont believe that id be able to select Dark since god of dark already exists. < Dark > already had a divine entity attached to it, unlike < Death > or < Immortality >. The god of dark wearing that eerie robe was the one who granted me the state of discipleship back then. Thus, < Dark > had a high probability that it stems from the god of dark. So I could not expect < Dark > to be a part of the selection process. But on the other hands, the other parts of divinity could be expected to be a part of the process. . And my theories proved to be true once I arrived at the destination. So it really was like that. Once reaching the center of a ck universe-like space, Orbs emitting different colored lights could be seen. Dark light, crimson light, green light. Once I saw those orbs of three lights, I immediately realized that they were divine powers. How unexpected. For some reason, there were more divine powers other than < Death > and < Immortality >. After a moment of thinking, I reached my hand towards the dark light. And Will you select the divinity < Death >? I smiled at the system message. As expected. Since it mentioned that I could select it, the system would exin what it meant. So I thought that I would be able to understand what each divinity meant if I reached into them. And my theory was proven correct again with the system message asking for my confirmation. Of course I declined at first. Let me look into other divinities first. And once I reached out to the crimson light, a new message appeared. Will you select the divinity < Immortality >? This was within my expectations. But. Will you select the divinity < Harmony >? The contents of the message of the green light was beyond my expectations. What is this now?. Harmony? I frowned at the unexpected divinity affinity. But Iughed after realizing where this affinity emerged from. Dont tell me that the divinity that the Light Swordmaster imbued in shing de Master is also categorized as a choice But it did make sense. After all, the Light Swordmaster did tell me that I could be the heir to inherit their divinity or something like that. So it was understandable to be a part of the selection process. But I had no intention of epting Harmony in the first ce so I skipped it. So now I have to make a choice. Currently, I was between < Death > or < Immortality >. < Death > was very strong, but < Immortality > couldnt be ignored either. The < Immortality > Ive experienced before had the ability to ignore messages of regeneration forbidden and immediate death. If I chose < Immortality >, Id never die no matter who I would face. But it was not attractive enough. The best situation is never being in a near death situation. And with my affinity being closer to < Death >, my options became more narrowed. And the moment I was about to make my selection. Swoosh! Behind the three orbs, a golden energy rushed out. As if to let their existence be known. What is this now? My interest piqued and I walked beyond the three orbs. And. Ah. Saw the unnatural golden orb behind the three orbs. buzzz! The golden light that seems to be unrestrained by anything stimted my thoughts. The moment I saw that, I instinctively understood. This was. Will you select the divinity < Transcendence >? Not an option provided by the tower. . This was a new divinity that I myself created the path for. [To be continued.] Chapter 161: State of Divinity (5) ————-? Chapter 161: State of Divinity (5) -?
Will you select the divinity < Transcendence >? the moment a never seen before divinity appeared as a choice. . I prevented my mind going nk and concentrated as best as I could. Seeing the golden light glow in waves, I muttered out. What on earth is this? I didnt know. This was not something that the tower gave me. < Death >, < Immortality >, < Harmony >. At least I knew the reason why those three options appeared before me. After all. They were all divinity rted to me. Ive encountered all of those options while climbing through the tower. But the fourth option of Transcendence was not like that. It was never an option when I was at the state of discipleship, and Ive never encountered it while climbing the tower. Its existence was out of logic. But for some reason, my instincts told me that it existed. While I stood there, ring at the golden light, I thought long and hard for an answer. Why was this option made avable to me? Is there a requirement that needs to be met? Up until now, I thought that the divinity was something that the tower handed out. But in other words, divinity is a type of potential manifested through faith. One ascending beyond humanity, harvesting faith from the mass, and imbuing divinity within ones heart. That was the typical method of umting divinity as far as I knew. However, I acquired divinity through necromancy instead of the typical method. And I believed that the divinity affinity was something that the tower bestowed upon me. Thus, since I walked the path of the wrong, the affinity of the divinity was also decided. But. A new divinity appeared outside of thosews. With the never seen before divinity called Transcendence emerging, I couldnt help but be shaken by it. To think of stability in the long terms, < Death > and < Immortality > would be the best options. But my heart was leaning towards this < Transcendence >. However, without the proper knowledge of what < Transcendence > did, choosing it would be a gamble. . I organized my thoughts while staring at the option. In the end, since I had no knowledge of how good the divinity was, it was difficult to make a choice. But it wasnt like I had no hints at all. The names of divinity. Each divinity had an ability befitting its name. < Death > could get rid of life, < Immortality > made it so death would be difficult to reach. Then < Transcendence > would have an ability simr to its name as well. Being able to surpass predetermined limits.. Is it? At the very least, it was divinity perfect for growth. I assumed that < Transcendence > was a divinity that was greatly influenced by me. Ive been relying on the divinity given by the tower so it wasnt like I wasnt umting divinity through the normal means. So at this point, Im sure that I had developed some special potentials as well. And that was what < Transcendence > was. Then my decision is set. On the path of choices, I chose the path closest to the answer. Youve selected the divinity < Transcendence >. A path created by me instead of what the tower prepared. And That meant that it would give me the appropriate power for me for the appropriate goal. So there was no room for regrets. Its just that. Divinity selectionplete. An appropriate state of divinity is created for your divinity. I was curious about which divine power Id be given.- - The ceiling of the cave was what I saw once I opened my eyes. . Considering how Ive gotten multiple notifications of divinity this divinity that, nothing felt different. I thought that something would change as soon as I opened my eyes, but nothing urred. But that sentimentsted briefly. Divinity < Transcendence > is affecting the divine powers within your heart. With the emerged message, a change urred immediately. Whoosh! A vibration from my heart rang out as if my soul was being agitated. And then the divine powers umted in my heart changed to be a golden hue. While I was marveling at the sight, I did feel slight disappointment. I guess I cant use death rted divine powers now. With the < Transcendence > taking root in my heart, I dont believe that I could envelop my eyes with divinity anymore to see a different sight. It was one of the better abilities that I was losing. And it was the very ability that brought forth victory from the battle with the Heavenly Demon. But having such an ability disappear was disheartening to say the least. But. Divinity < Transcendence > is reacting with the potential of grim reaper to convert < Death > and < Immortality > into a potential. A new change urred while the golden divine powers were pushing out the dark colored divinity. Oh. The divinity with the potential of grim reaper got absorbed by the golden light and hid within. Once I closed my eyes to concentrate on my heart, I found out the reason behind it. So this is what it means to convert it into potential Some parts must remain as I could still feel the divinity of death after concentrating. Divinity is established. You got the Special power Eyes of Death God. Unlike before where seeing the ck lines or dots were difficult to do, it got converted into a power. Almost as if the negatives were excluded and only the positives were left. The surprise didntst long. Divinity is established. State of Divinity is acquired. After the message, my body was engulfed by bright golden light. Fwoosh! Basic Divine Power State of Divinity(SS+) is engraved in challenger Han Sungyeuns soul. When using State of Divinity, the divinity will increase temporarily and use of divine powers be possible. Innate Divine Power Transcendence(SSS+)is engraved in challenger Han Sungyeuns soul. the abilities within the system can be added into divinity to have transcendence. Once the golden light dimmed down, I could finally calm down. . The divinity mentioned in the system window was rted to the state of divinity. ording to my instincts, this state of divinity is pretty simr to the state of discipleship. Furthermore, this state of divinity could not be maintained for long. I knew that this was greed, but I guess this is all I can gain from this. Of course, it was already big enough to gain a power that could rece the state of discipleship. Furthermore. With transcendence, Im not losing much. Receiving the SSS+ ranked transcendence, considered to be one of the highest ranks within the system, I had noints at all. A SSS+ rank. Despite being calm, I couldnt help butugh at the absurdity of the rank. Considering the power of divinity, SSS+ rank would not be strange.. But actually acquiring divine power after establishing divinity made me feel butterflies in my stomach. I felt as if I was really bing a god. After relishing in those sensations, I attempted to stand up from my ce to be interrupted by a voice. you mustve finished making your choice. It was Dam Cheonwoo. His tone of voice suggested that he knew that this would happen. Did you know that this would happen? If youre asking whether I knew that youd get to choose your divinity, then yes. . of course, I didnt know when youd get to choose it, but. So youve selected your divinity before too. Indeed. This great one was also one of the candidates that the tower has selected. This one too has made a choice. So thats why the Light Swordmaster asked me to be their heir. . I did assume it before. No matter how fast Ive grown, Ive been nearing the state of divinity only after reaching the 17th floor. Among the administrators that surpassed the 40th floor, there must be few that have been umting divinity to reach the state of divinity. Only that their information was restricted from telling me. Dam Cheonwoo mustve been in the same situation. But there was a difference. Dam Cheonwoo most likely. had. Destroyed the umted divinity himself. He destroyed the divinity and threw away the state of divinity. It was not a baseless assumption. He said it himself that he did not wish to live as a dog of the tower, and even Light Swordmaster said that he threw away the right bestowed by the tower. Which meant that Dam Cheonwoo threw away the divinity by himself. Why did you throw away your divinity? I didnt wish to ept what someone else decided for me. Thats the reason. This great one.. Destroyed the divinity and hoped for freedom toe. . of course, my current situation is not what I was aiming for, but.. This in itself isnt too bad. Youre pretty special after all. Special? Werent you also a candidate as well? Correct. We are both candidates chosen by the tower. But we are different. What we ended up choosing is too different. I understood what he meant by the different choice. Essential nature. This great one threw away the divinity that Ive umted myself and instead epted the divinity given by the tower. You did not choose the path provided by the tower and instead epted the divinity inherent within you. So thats the decisive factor. Dont misunderstand. Choosing the divinity offered by the tower has no issues. Then why did you throw away your divinity? the limit was too clear. ? Dam Cheonwoo let out a low chuckle and continued. And. those who receive the divinity of the tower bes a powerful divine entity. However, they be bound eternally to the tower and lose their opportunity to grow. The moment the goal of the tower gets partly revealed. The tower repeated this process until they found a divine entity that they liked. A chill went throughout my entire body. Until the result satisfied the standards set by the tower. Choosing the < Transcendence > divinity was the best choice I couldve made. - - I had a hunch that the tower did not help the challengers without a cost. But to think that it was attempting to foster divine entities bound to the tower It was surprising on multiple levels. But there were still a few areas that were questionable. Then why did Dam Cheonwoo say that the tower would not harm me? From his words, Dam Cheonwoo did not desire to be bound to the tower and threw away his divinity himself to be free. That meant that I would be on a simr track. Why did he tell me to not doubt the tower? While devastating it is to be bound to the tower, it wont harm the challenger. When I asked that question, Dam Cheonwoo replied. Even after bing a divine entity and bing bound to the tower, for a certain time, you can still continue to challenge the trials, and they wont ask too much of the challengers who be a divine entity. Although a limit is ced on growth, no terrible things will happen. Its just that, after the 40th floor, you lose your rights to continue climbing the tower, and you descend into a simr form like the administrators. So there is no need to doubt the tower that much, is what he said. Furthermore. This great one knows that youre more carefully selectedpared to other candidates. Dam Cheonwoo mentioned that the tower was paying closer attention to me for a different reason. And thats why I told you that you wont lose anything from trusting the tower. He wasnt wrong. As he said, Ive never lost anything and even got to establish my own divinity. But I still couldnt understand what it meant by a special being different from a candidate. But. I understand the situation briefly. Like before, poring myself to find the answer wont result in an actual answer. I have lots of things I want to ask and learn, but I cant know them yet, correct? Why was the tower fostering divine entities? What did it mean by the tower paying attention to me other than being a candidate? Why were the divine entities outside of the tower so wary of it? And more.. There were countless unanswered questions. But there was someone else that I should be asking these questions to. Ill return to the waiting room first. And Ill have to talk with the administrators. Its been a while. I calmed myself down and used Truth-seeker of Blood to have the Blood Demon Sword to absorb blood Activating True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s exclusive skill Blood Eat. Items rank raises to A+(6,801/9,200) from absorbing the Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosuls blood. And afterpleting blood eat on the heavenly demon, I took her items. Once Ive used the fire dragons eyes to analyze the items, there were about two that could be useful. ck Dragon de Rank : B+ Attack speed +10% Destruction Resistance +40% A long sword that the Iron Blooded Dragon Artisan offered to the 11th Heavenly Demon Cheon Sinhyuk. It has been forged with a chunk of millennium metal to resist breaking. However, other than its destruction resistance, the rest of its abilities are not up to par. Well, weapons are supposed to be superior as a basis, so it was naturally of a higher rank. Blood Morals Bracelet Rank : A+ Divinity Maniption +10% Mana Maniption +10% The bracelet that the 17th heavenly demon ascended into a higher state after killing her father. A faint presence of nameless divine myth is imbued within it, but its not enough to be considered a relic. However, when the Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul uses it, abilities rted to specific myths will be reinforced and all stats increase by 1. However, those who have a different divinity than the Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul will receive the opposite of Divinity Maniption +10%, and instead receive -10% on Divinity Maniption. The red bracelet on her wrist was basically her personal equipment. So basically I got nothing great. But to be honest, it was expected. Not just the Heavenly Demon, but most thate from Murim possessed no good equipment nor items. So this was expected.. At least the other dimensions relied on items. Putting aside the feeling of disappointment, I threw the obsidian longsword into the air. activating skill Sky Break. Then swung my Sky Breaking Sword on my left hand. Crack! The Sky Breaking Sword managed to break whats difficult to break to rank up to S-(1,714/25,000). With that, the obsidian longsword broke in half and the sky breaking sword ranked up. I thought about breaking the other bracelet, but decided not to. The sky breaking sword only ranks up when breaking things that are difficult to break, so thered be no point in destroying this bracelet. Instead, I chose to throw the bracelet into my mouth to chew and swallow. Youve the item Blood Morals Bracelet. < 00:00:59 > Untilplete consumption. But something urred. Requirements met. Activating the special power Lineage of the Heavenly Demon. Lineage of the Heavenly Demon. One of the powers that Ive acquired after the battle with the Heavenly Demon suddenly got activated. Once consuming the Blood Morals Bracelet, the hidden ability of special power Lineage of the Heavenly Demon is opened. And I was bbergasted by the message that followed. When the hidden ability of special power Lineage of the Heavenly Demon is made avable, the divinity < transgression > is converted into a potential. A reward beyond my expectations appeared.[To be continued.] Chapter 162: Great Tree Labyrinth (1) ————-? Chapter 162: Great Tree Labyrinth (1) -?
Lineage of the Heavenly Demon. The special power I got after killing the heavenly demon had little to no information. All I knew was that among the powers that she had, it was one of the best ones in her possession.. The Lineage of the Heavenly Demon was most likely an ability that could increase physical abilities, is all that I could assume. But. You can get divinity as a potential? After consuming the Blood Morals Bracelet using Steel Eat, my thoughts changed at the message that appeared. Perhaps this power has worth beyond reinforcing physical abilities. But at the same time, a question arose. Just what was the Lineage of the Heavenly Demon to allow me to absorb the divinity called < Transgression >? While I was pondering the question, a new message appeared in front of my eyes. Consumptionpleted. It was the message letting me know that the Steel Eat has finished the absorption of Blood Morals Bracelet. Strength increased by 1. Stamina increased by 1. Mana increased by 1. Expelling 10.8% of toxic energy within the body. My stats increased to get rid of the umted fatigue in my body. spit! After spitting out the ck liquid from my throat, a new message emerged. The special ability of special power Lineage of the Heavenly Demon is made avable after consuming Blood Morals Bracelet. And. Divinity < Transgression > is converted into potential. Rumble! An ashy colored light appeared within my heart but got consumed by the divinity of Transcendence. Although the ash colored divinity could no longer be seen. I could tell that it still existed deep within Transcendence divinity. Just like the divinity brought forth by the potential of grim reaper, < Transgression > too, got incorporated into my divinity as a potential. But it didnt end there. You are qualified to open up the upper dantian. Vrmm! A feeling of my forehead splitting attacked me. You are qualified to open up the middle dantian. The divinity within my body vibrated while the mana circuit near my heart reconstructed itself. What on earth. To be honest, it was difficult to see what changed. But one thing was for sure.. So the S+ was not just for show That the Lineage of the Heavenly Demon was a power with a countless potential. I closed my eyes to concentrate, and found a new technique that was made avable to me. It was. Activating the power Divinity. Mana is disintegrated purely to convert into divine powers. What kind of crazy ability. The conversion of divine powers that Ive attempted before became possible. I soon found out the reason behind its urrence after a brief examination. So the Lineage of the Heavenly Demon changed the blueprint of the mana circuit, and that made mana disintegration easier The reason was the reconstructed mana circuit the same time my middle dantian was opened up. Thats how I found out that the Heavenly Demon could still use Minds de despite having her divinity restricted. She converted mana into divinity instead of using the divinity within her heart.. Lineage of the Heavenly Demon was sealed, but the mana circuit that had been reconstructed by it could not. The Heavenly Demon used her mana circuit to convert her inner ki into divinity to use Minds de. What an unbelievable power. It was absurd. I was doing all kinds of tricks to use the Minds de using divine powers, While the heavenly demon converted the mana within her body to use Minds de. No wonder Dam Cheonwoo told me to not lose hope.. If Lineage of the Heavenly Demon could be called a talent, then she could be considered a genius among geniuses. With the cheat-like ability to convert mana into divinity. Thankfully, that cheat-like ability was now mine, I couldnt help but feel bitter about it. While feeling a sense of futility from that, a new system message popped up. Recalibrating the number of survivors within the Heavenly Armory. the current number of survivors are: 1. The system stayed silent even after killing the heavenly demon. Perhaps it was a system that calcted the number of survivors after a certain amount of time. Requirements met. Youve passed Path of Last Heaven of the Heavenly Armory. The rite of passagepletion message finally appeared. And. You have the right to enter the book room. After exiting the book room, you can reach the end of the Heavenly Armory. Rumble! The central floor of the cave opened up to a spiral stairway that led to an endless descent. It sure is grand. Uselessly grand. They were a divine entity so they couldve protected the book room without an issue even if the book room was right under my feet. But they hid the book room using these endless flights of stairs At this point, I was curious to see just what important things were hidden in that book room of theirs. Martial arts techniques of Light Swordmaster. The curiosity got the best of me so I unhesitantly fell into the central space surrounded by the stairs. There was no need to use the stairs. Fwoosh! The tail coat on my body fluttered loudly and the loud sound of splitting air rang in my ear. I thought that it was better than actually walking through all the steps. Fallingsted briefly. Boom! Afternding on the floor, I dispersed the shock of contact to look at my surroundings. I assumed that thered be lots of mysterious objects since it contained the secret techniques of the Light Swordmaster. Its cleaner than I thought. As if it was a well organized library, the book room itself was rather ordinary. The scent of old paper, rows of bookshelves slightly covered in dust, and the books sorted by its order.. It definitely felt like a proper book room. After a momentary study of the book room, I randomly selected a book to read. Since I couldnt understand most of its titles, it really didnt matter which one I chose to read. And . I realized a serious problem while studying the book. It was. Just what on earth did they write? Even with the system calibration, I couldnt understand the exnation of the techniques. Twelve meridians, the eighth meridian I have no idea what theyre on about. The books were full of concepts that I couldnt understand unless I came from this dimension. Flow my ki into underwater spring point? What is this now? After a few minutes of useless research, I concluded that this was useless and closed the book without lingering feelings. Tap! I dont get it. The ck things are letters, and the white things are paper. Other than that fact, I barely understood half of what the books exined. I tried my best topare the text to my current knowledge, but it was impossible. So I ignored all the text to study the human figures drawn in the middle to manipte my mana. And frowned at the result. Fwoosh! Why on earth did they write this so confusingly? It was easier to learn the techniques by ncing at the images. But this was just a guess on my part so I wasnt even sure if I was learning these techniques properly.. Heavenly Demon is an entity on her own, but you too have such a disgusting amount of talent.. Dam Cheonwoos small muttering confirmed that this was the correct method. Rustle! I briefly read through all the books to learn the techniques. So you condense your ki at the sole of your foot like an orb then you manipte ki by rotating that orb. Why would they make this so difficult? Was there really a need to twist the ki circuit like this? Lightness skill? Ah so its the lower version. You just have to solidify the surface of the water like a tform using mana for this one. And somehow I managed to read through an entire bookshelf. Once I put thest book Ive read back on its original spot, a new message popped up. You got the achievement Footwork Proficiency. Agility increased by 3. !? I shivered at the absurdly fast increase of stats. All I did was to look through this bookshelf, and my agility increased this much? For some reason. So this is martial arts? I could understand why all those Murim fighters worshiped martial arts like that. My stats increased this much just from reading through a bookshelf. Now this is exciting. I was curious to see how much Id grow after reading through this entire book room. - - Reading through all the technique books in the room became tedious after a while. Since my learning came from looking at the images, books without pictures were useless and thanks to that, I had to go through multiple shelves to get the achievement. However, it was worth the effort. You got the achievement Swordsmanship Proficiency. Tenacity increased by 3. You got the achievement Martial Arts Pro.. Stamina increased by 3. You got the achievement Fighting. Agility increased by 3. If an ability duplication glitch existed, it would most likely look like this. I couldnt help but let out a smile from being able to learn the different techniques just by looking through the books in this room. Never did I expect to increase my stats in this way. Just like happinesses after pain, I got all these rewards after suffering through the Heavenly Demon. Of course, once I got close to reading through all the books in this room, the achievements I could get ran out. But it didnt matter. My stats were raised sufficiently. And I managed to find techniques that could be applied to future fights. The small gains are good too. I had noints. Its just that. Most of these dont really look like the techniques that the Light Swordmaster would use. These bookshelves didnt contain the techniques that would be used by them. Naturally, even if their techniques were here, I dont think that Id be trying to learn it with passion. But I couldnt help but feel as if I was tricked by false advertising. It was not yet time to be disappointed. . After all, there was a ck door at the end of the central hallway between the bookshelves. Even without thinking, I could tell what that was. That must be what the system meant by the end of the Heavenly Armory. The end of this trial stood there. Since Ive read through all the techniques in this room, it was time to continue on. I suppose this was closer to a stat boosting event than getting new techniques. After wrapping up my thoughts, I walked in the central hallway. To open the ck door at the end of the road. And. Congrattions. You have ovee the Tower of Trials floor 17. As a reward, Grand Rejuvenation Pill(S+) is transferred into your inventory. As a reward, you have received 110,000 points. As a reward, you have received 5,500 SP. As a bonus reward, you have received 5,500 SP. As a bonus reward, you have received Hundred Year Ginseng(B+)is transferred into your inventory. Please move to the waiting area. The message of trialpletion appeared as expected. The Light Swordmaster is looking at you. Furthermore. So they werent lying when they said that theyd give me their techniques. Across the ck door, a brightly shining book was at the center of the ck space. And it was clear what it was since it was floating mid-air. So instead of immediately heading towards the portal, I stepped towards the book to read. But. The book had absolutely no text. Despite looking at the book using the Fire Dragons Eyes, it couldnt see anything nor have it register as an item. Hmm. With no titles at the cover, it most likely would reveal itself once certain requirements were met. As expected.. All things wille to unite as one. Faint words appeared after a few moments. The path will open when things are at harmony. At this point, the requirements were way too obvious. What a tant appeal of divinity eptance. Once divinity < Harmony > is absorbed, Id get the right to learn these techniques. I didnt know if these techniques were that worth it, but I was sure that they contained important things. If not, it wouldve never been used as a bait to have me absorb their divinity. But I chose to throw the book into the inventory instead of doing what it told me to. I had no ns on following the instructions in the first ce, and Id only look at it after epting the divinity < Harmony >. The Light Swordmaster respects your decision. Well, It would seem that the Light Swordmaster never expected me to take the first bait either. I smiled faintly at that to approach the portal. Then I whispered my farewells to the Light Swordmaster. Then, Ill take my leave now. I would get a chance to look at the bookter anyways. In the end. Moving to the waiting room. The day wille that Ill get to im the Light Swordmasters divinity as my own.- - Waiting room. You have entered the 18th floor waiting room. I returned to the room that feels like my house. The umted fatigue vanished in an instant, and my mental fatigue was slightly gone as well. My body felt rxed from it, but I had no ns to rest. Transcendence divinity. I nned on figuring out the abilities of this divinity acquired from the 17th floor. As well as understanding the difference between the state of discipleship versus state of divinity. Since I gained so much, there were tons of things to examine. But. Over 1,000 people of Earth dimension havepleted the 15th floors trial. To say the results, I had no time to sort through my abilities. Requirements met. Every official tower dimensions had over 1,000 peopleplete the 15th floors trial. The tower of trials ismencing a public event to every official tower dimension. It was a never seen before message. . A public event for all the official tower dimensions? This has never happened before. My brain felt as if it was solidifying from this unexpected situation. Before I could adjust to the new situation, a new message emerged. A Great Tree Labyrinth will appear to every official tower dimension. Great Tree Labyrinth. Was it abyrinth based on a huge tree? To the challenger who clears Great Tree Labyrinth, a [Very Important Bonus] will be given. I wasnt sure what it was. Warning Participation in the Great Tree Labyrinth event is voluntary. However, participation will have to be in teams. There could bepetition between different dimensions, so please acknowledge its dangers before participating. But it would seem that the tower of trials was hosting a huge event. A very interesting event.[To be continued.] Chapter 163: Great Tree Labyrinth (2) ————-? Chapter 163: Great Tree Labyrinth (2) -?
Great Tree Labyrinth. An event that the tower is hosting because every official tower dimension met certain requirements. Aughter spilled out while I stood in the waiting room looking at the message. Interesting. The tower never hosted such an event up until now. at least within my knowledge. But theyre hosting an event all of a sudden because every official tower dimension had over 1,000 peopleplete the 15th floors trial?. Even if this Great Tree Labyrinth was a voluntary event. It wasnt difficult to deduce that this event will bring forth a new wave of change. And it said that the tower will give out a very important bonus. The party that gave emphasis on the clear bonus was the event host, the tower. Hence, the Great Tree Labyrinth is an opportunity to get a very important bonus ording to the tower. After realizing this, I lost all reason to not participate in this Great Tree Labyrinth event. Its worth dying climbing the tower for. Its just that. Warning Participation in the Great Tree Labyrinth event is voluntary. However, participation will have to be in teams. There could bepetition between different dimensions, so please acknowledge its dangers before participating. This message that still hasnt disappeared was the issue. Unable to participate without being in a team with other challengers. At first nce, its simr to the group trials that asionally appear in the tower, but this one was different. After all. So theyre telling me to find a challenger thats simr to a colleague. Unless the group trial that forces a group upon you, I had to form a [team] myself to participate in the event. And since its said to have a possibility ofpetition between dimensions, my theory was most likely close to the truth. They most likely want us to form a team of the same dimension for the event. I dont like that they got rid of solo y entirely, but its not like I cant form a team. This requirement was not a big issue. After all, it was not impossible to find some colleagues. I had a few people that I formed rtionships with, so I should be able to form a team with them if I contacted them. So. It shouldnt be a problem if I prepare for the event after analyzing my arsenal. First, I nned on going through everything I gained on the 17th floor. Grand Rejuvenation Pill Rank : S+ A pill that contains the refined natural water of Shaolin Monastery. When the pill is taken as it is, some impurities within the body will be eliminated and all stat will increase by 4. The Grand Rejuvenation Pill from the 17th floor was amazing just from ncing through the description. Hundred Year Ginseng Rank : B+ A snow ginseng that absorbed the cold energy flowing through the mountain with endless snowfall for 100 years. After consuming the Hundred Year Ginseng, mana increases by 3 from the cold energy within the snow ginseng. However, when the cold energy can be controlledpletely, mana further increases by 3 and you will be strongly resistant to cold. Even the Hundred Year Ginseng was a medicine that could increase mana and resistance to cold. There was nothing else to analyze for them so I immediately consumed the Grand Rejuvenation Pill. Pshhhhh. Before I could chew the pill, it dissolved to vanish and filled my body with energy. All stats increased by 4 from consuming the Grand Rejuvenation Pill. And Expelling 8.8% of toxic energy within the body. I spit out the familiar ck liquid that came up my throat. Just how much toxic energy did I umte? I was tired of still having toxic energy within my body. But I pushed off the negative thoughts and burned the ck liquid off using mana. Then when I proceeded to consume the Hundred Year Ginseng, it crunched like ice and cold energy surged. . After contemting my insides, the cold energy expelled by the ginseng was messing up my body. It did say additional stat boost if I can control the cold energy so this is what it meant. The cold energy moved violently like sharp ws and it was difficult to start the controlling process. But itsted briefly. I cant struggle with these even if I wanted to. I enveloped the cold energy using mana through activating my mana circuit. And the storm-like cold energy gotpletely absorbed into my mana without being able to resist. Once the cold energy vanished, my body felt warm again as if the cold never existed in the first ce. Your body is now has strong resistance to cold after consuming Hundred Year Ginseng. Your mana increases by 6 from consuming Hundred Year Ginseng. Really. All I did was to consume two elixirs but my stats increased this much. I got reminded of just how great elixirs were to increase stats. Of course, most elixirs lose their potency if frequently consumed so its really no different than one time achievements.. But that also meant that elixirs were on par with achievements. As soon as I consumed all the rewards from the 17th floor, I concentrated my mind. State of Divinity. And Activating the Divine Power State of Divinity. you can exercise divinity ording to your potential divinity. The potential divinity are as follows: < Transcendence >, < Death >, < Immortality >, < Transgression >. My entire body started to glow with a golden light and a feeling simr to omnipotence was evoked. Unlike the state of discipleship, my body was not covered in darkness. Perhaps because my divinity was established with < Death > and < Immortality >. I wasnt sure, but my ability didnt change too much. Its just that. < 00:09:59 > left of state of divinity. [ Now this is more disadvantageous than the state of discipleship. ] The time I could maintain the state of divinity was shorterpared to the state of discipleship. However, it was easy to see why the time got shortened. [ Dont tell me I use this at the cost of divine powers. ] Seeing the diminishing divine powers within my heart proved it to be true. It is most likely that the duration will decrease faster when using divine powers or powers that are categorized with divinity. I guess I wont be able to use the state of divinity as a passive skill just yet. But my disappointment did notst long. I analyzed my remaining divinity to activate the divine power. Using divinity < Transcendence >. I already researched the exact ability of < Death > and < Immortality > beforehand. So it was time to understand this newly acquired < Transcendence >. But. There is no ability under the selected divinity. < Transcendence > could not be activated no matter how hard I tried. Having no ability under the said divinity. I understood after realizing the reason for its inactivation. That before using < Transcendence >, I had to meet certain prerequisites. And I had a hunch of how I could meet this prerequisite. As if to confirm my theory. Activating Innate Divine Power < Transcendence(SSS+) >. You can get rid of the restriction by attributing an ability into the divinity. Select [0/3] abilities to attribute into Transcendence. The way to meet the requirements was in innate divine power. [ . ] I narrowed my eyes at the window floating by my eyes. In the system window, there were skills, powers and even stats to be selected to get rid of the restriction. So I can use three total to get rid of the restriction? It was intriguing. I wondered what would happen if I entered these skills to be in a transcendence state. After a brief thought, I chose a skill to destroy the limit. Skill Mana Management(A-) is attributed to divinity < Transcendence > to get rid of a limit. Since its a skill I was proficient at, it was not a loss to use it for getting rid of the restriction.. Clunk! The same time the new system message appeared, a sound of a lock being unlocked rang out. Skill Mana Management(A-) is attributed to divinity to convert into power skill Mana Management(A-). The skill is converted into power and any restrictions ced on the skill are now changed. A skill converted into a power. And seeing how a part of the skill is changed, I understood why < Transcendence > was considered an innate divine power. So I can interfere with the system of the tower? Being able to attribute an ability registered within the system to me was surprising to say the least. Abilities are reliant on the system rather than the user. This could be considered to be one of the ws of skills registered in the system. But < Transcendence > solved this issue immediately. So I couldnt help but be surprised. And its not just solving the issue at the surface level. With the restrictions being dispelled, parts of the skills have been modified to be converted into its superior version. Of course, I didnt know exactly what had changed.. Using divinity < Transcendence >. All abilities attributed to the divinity will deviate from its assigned category. When limits are being met, all abilities will deviate its assigned category faster. The benefits of restrictions being gone would soon be found out. Per my expectations. I understood what the benefits were from manipting mana throughout my entire body. Fwoosh! Proficiency of Power Skill Mana Management(A-) increases by 0.01%. Proficiency of Power Skill Mana Management(A-) increa Proficiency of Power Skill Mana Manage Divinity Transcendence. The benefit brought forth by this divinity during the state of divinity. [ This is crazy. ] That was. The power thatpletely got rid of the growth limit. - - Originally the proficiency of mana management skills can not be increased easily. Without items like Independent Realization or Skill Proficiency Potions, leveling up could not even be dreamed of. And thats why Ive invested every skill proficiency potion I got into mana management up until now. But. Proficiency of Power Skill Mana Management(A-) reached 100%. Power Skill Mana Management(A-) is ranking up. In just a few hours, mana management ranked up. Just from using mana management with all Ive got. It was an absurd growth. Time over. Divine Power State of Divinity is deactivated to enter a cooldown of 8 hours. I did good to choose < Transcendence > instead of < Death >. The limit of growth on mana maniption was gone. Even without Independent Realization, my proficiency went up just from repeated rehearsal. Thus, the getting rid of the restriction messages meant that anything with limits on growth would have the limits disappear. Of course. Proficiency of Power Skill Mana Management(A-) increases by 0.01%. Proficiency of Power Skill Mana Management(A-) increa Proficiency of Power Skill Mana Manage Even if the limits were dispelled, the slowing down of proficiency increase couldnt be helped the higher the level went. Oh well, its not surprising that it slowed down since Im not using < Transcendence > while at the state of divinity. Using < Transcendence > during the state of divinity increases the proficiency of divinity rted abilities. Henceforth the reason why the mana management could grow so fast. Activating the Innate Divine Power < Transcendence(SSS+) >. You can get rid of the restriction by attributing an ability into the divinity. Select [1/3] abilities to attribute into Transcendence. After using the Transcendence power, I quickly made my selections. Currently, my main skills are the Winds Grace and Harmonic Soul Demon Sword. The two skills that had both agility and attack power were used like a passive skill. Of course, there were skills like Battle Concentration, Instant eleration and Chaotic Sword-fighting y that couldnt be left out. But theyre not as important. This was the time to choose the important ones to foster. Skill Winds Grace(A) is attributed to divinity < Transcendence > to get rid of a restriction. Skill Winds Grace(A) is attributed to divinity to convert into Power Skill Winds Grace(A). The skill is converted into power and any restrictions ced on the skill are now changed. I attributed Winds Grace into the transcendence divinity first. Skill Harmonic Soul Demon Sword(S-)is attributed to divinity < Transcendence > to get rid of a restriction. Skill Harmonic Soul Demon Sword(S-)is attributed to divinity to convert into Power Skill Harmonic Soul Demon Sword(S-). The skill is converted into power and any restrictions ced on the skill are now changed. Then I registered the Harmonic Soul Demon Sword into the divinity to convert both skills into powers. After using both powers, I managed to fullyprehend its changes. Activating Power Skill Winds Grace. All speed increases by 80%. Current number of stacked skills [8] Stack limits arepletely gone for Winds Grace. The maximum level of stacks of Winds Grace used to be 8, but it seemed as if the limits no longer existed now. However,rge amounts of divine powers were used after surpassing its limits. In other words, as long as I had the divine powers for it, my speed could increase to my desires. It was pretty absurd just with this, but the newly reconstructed Harmonic Soul Demon Sword was even more absurd. Activating the exclusive effect Double Addition of Power Skill Harmonic Soul Demon Sword. Divine powers are used to increase the capability of power skill by [3] times. Boom! . Harmonic Soul Demon Sword could only duplicate the original attack. Isnt this a glitch at this point? The power emitted by Harmonic Soul Demon Sword could be increased to my desires as long as I fed it plenty of divine powers. Of course, with my current amount of divine powers, I could only increase its powers at a maximum rate of 4 times, but the future couldnt be said the same. At this rate, the Seal of Tribute increases in value. It was the only item that could increase the amount of divine powers so it was worth more than a million. After wrapping up my analysis, I stroked my chin to mutter silently. The inspection is done. I was confident. I had no idea what this Great Tree Labyrinth was. But regardless of what it was, I was confident that I would not lose. I know that youre watching me. So. Go ahead and invite me. We have lots of things to talk about. From here on. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch lets out a bitterugh saying that they expected this. Administrator Iron-blooded Monarch is inviting you to Administrator territory It was time to get ready for this event called the Great Tree Labyrinth.[To be continued.] Chapter 164: Great Tree Labyrinth (3) ————-? Chapter 164: Great Tree Labyrinth (3) -?
Youve entered the world of Iron Blood. The cemeteries of white swords greeted me after opening my eyes. I couldnt help but feel sentimental while staring at the snowfield covered with swords. Nothing changed here after all these times. It felt as if I hadnte here for eons but nothing had changed since then. It was as if this ce was beyond the realm of time. What a perfect ce for a resting ce. Of course, I did note here to rest so I shook off those feelings to continue onwards. and. Youre here, Han Sungyeun. After crossing the snow covered field and into the cabin, a beautifuldy with a cold expression appeared. After ncing at her, I took a seat on the couch to exchange half hearted pleasantries. Its been a while, Iron-blooded Monarch. At that, the monarch let out a bitter smile. I dont believe that it has been that long. I havent seen you face to face since the 12th floor. Im currently on the 18th floor. Its because you cleared the floors way too fast. It wasnt that fast. The trials were way too difficult so I had to spend more than I wanted to in them. Your useless humbleness is the same as ever. Actually, I suppose you actually mean it youve grown this much and yet you havent changed. The Iron-blooded Monarch spoke with a sigh. I never expected your divinity to be established before reaching the 20th floor. Well, I never expected it either. To think that Id establish my own state of divinity.. I got lucky. This amount of growth has never been seen before in the history of the tower, luck my ass. Even so, Im still weaker than the administrators that have pseudo-divinity. Establishment of divinity was definitely a step forward. But I still felt that the quality and quantity of divine powers wereckingpared to the pseudo-divinity of the administrators. By arge amount. And even without divinity, the skills of administrators who climbed up until the 40th floor were iparable. Thats what it meant to have climbed past the 40th floor, and that was the importance of being selected by the tower. It was not luck that the administrators got immortality. Therefore, I acknowledged theck of my power honestly. But the Iron-blooded Monarch turned her head. If youpared yourself to others who reached the same floor as you, youd be iparable to them. However, I do notpete with those who are on the same floor as me. At that, the Iron-blooded Monarch spoke with a grim expression. ..you mean the divine entities that exist outside of the tower. Yes. Although I am not sure if theyre opposing the birth of a new divine entity, or if they just hate the tower, but at the very least, theres not that many divine entities that look at me with friendliness. I supposed that I cant deny that. There was also that one time that the god of battle descended during a trial. Of course, there were few divine entities that took on a neutral stance like the god of proof and god of dark. I assume that there are more gods than them, so there was a high probability that theres more out there with hostility towards me. So I n on receiving everything that I can. Therefore.. Why dont we get to the main topic? It was time to discuss about this new event that the tower prepared for. I will be using every question rights that I have, so please tell me everything you know of the Great Tree Labyrinth. - - I visited the administrator territory to gain intel in the first ce. So I chose to forgo the unnecessary talks to get to the point. At that, the Iron-blooded Monarch stared at me briefly, then started to exin all the information she had. The Great Tree Labyrinth isposed of a total of ten different floors in a tower architecture. The monarch exined that thisbyrinth of 10 different floors resembled the tower. At that, I assumed that this challenge would be formatted simr to trials, but it was proven false. You can select the difficulty level like the tower, and you get rewarded appropriately to the difficulty youve selected. The Great Tree Labyrinth was the same as the tower. Choosing your difficulty, and you get rewarded ording to it. The Great Tree Labyrinth was an event that replicated the basic system of the tower. The only difference was. The levels of difficulty ranges from easy, normal, hard, and lunatic. That it had one more level than the tower and only a total of 10 floors existed. After listening to the exnation, I interrupted her with a question. Whats the lunatic difficulty? Lunatic. A difficulty nonexistent in the towers system. I was curious to see what the difference waspared to the hard difficulty. The highest difficulty, lunatic is iparable to the other three difficulties. Its contents are catastrophic. I questioned her for further exnation. .do the level of enemies increase? I suppose, that too, but the true hardship does note from that. The Iron-blooded Monarch yed with her long silver hair while hesitating to speak. And. When you choose the Lunatic difficulty, all your abilities disappear. I couldnt help but frown at that. .all abilities disappear? What does that mean? It was ridiculous. A penalty that gets rid of every ability you have. It meant that youd have to throw away everything that youve umted and earned up until now. But. Of course, its not a permanent ability loss, but only temporary within the Great Tree Labyrinth. The Iron-blooded Monarch reassured me that it was only a temporary penalty during the event. But losing all abilities was a huge penalty. To ameliorate, each time you descend a floor, you can sync back a part of your ability. Specifically, how much can you sync back up? One skill per floor. However, you can not sync your stats. . That meant that you could only recover a maximum of 10 skills. I cant rely on it much. It would prove to be an impossible feat to get back my man skills nor my supportive skills. Itd be better to recover the main skills first instead of looking to get skills that synergize the best. Excellent. Yes, it is as youve said. Its the most efficient method to recover your main skills. Would it be possible to acquire skills within thebyrinth? I suppose it is.. But your records of skill acquisition will disappear after the event. So to sum it all, its best to acquire the necessary skills but dont invest too much in it. Iughed at the pure absurdity of it all. What kind of difficulty is this..? Not even the hard difficulty trials pulled a bullshit of a move like this to reset all your abilities. No wonder it wasbeled as the lunatic difficulty.. I couldnt help but feel bbergasted by the evil exuding from the difficulty. I sighed at that, but immediately changed my attitude. But with great restrictionses a greater reward. The tower always rewards appropriately. These vicious penalties meant that the rewards would be just as amazing. Correct, as the tower stated that a [Very Important Bonus] will be given, each floor has astonishing rewards. Even the Iron-blooded Monarch confirmed that. Of course, a thousand words could never fully exin it, so take a look at it yourself. She stopped ying with her hair and snapped her fingers. Snap-! And. Opening the rewards of the Great Tree Labyrinth. I doubted my eyes seeing the listed rewards. Easy Difficulty Reward Leaf of World Tree(S+) A leaf harvested from the World Tree, it contains the power of life. The leaf, most likely an ingredient for crafting a high quality equipment, had a rank of S+. Normal Difficulty Reward Dagger of a Nameless God(SS-) Every type of divine power can be seen and cut. Then a purple dagger, a SS- ranked relic, that could see and cut divine power emerged. Hard Difficulty Reward Book of Power(SS+) you can choose a target and duplicate a maximum of three powers into the book. Then at the hard difficulty, a cheat-like item that could copy the opponents power appeared. Lunatic Difficulty Reward ess Denied ess Denied. Perhaps I did not have enough authorization, so I couldnt open the rewards of the lunatic difficulty. But seeing the rewards of the three precious difficulties, I knew that the lunatic difficulty rewards would be substantial. . I understood what the tower meant by being able to acquire a [Very Important Bonus] at this event. No wonder the tower said that. Just these listed rewards are insane already. After analyzing all the rewards, I closed the window. Youve used up all your question rights. Even if you have further questions, I can no longer answer you. Is that so? Well, it doesnt matter anymore. Most of my questions got answered. I see. Its been a while since weve had this enjoyable chat. Ive analyzed most information about the Great Tree Labyrinth. Ill take my leave now. I attempted to leave since I got everything I could, but. Youre leaving already? I tilted my head at her disappointed tone of voice. hmm? I dont believe I did anything to disappoint her yet. It was difficult to know why the monarch was acting so disappointed. Yes, well. Other challengers must be getting ready so I cant fall behind, can I? I answered while scratching my head. Then why dont youe to my admin territoryter? I heard that you visited White Crane Sword Saint frequently to learn martial arts from them My instincts told me to use my brain toe up with an appropriate answer to that disappointed tone of voice. And Ill make sure to visit more often. I have lots of questions for you after all. I let out the reply that I racked my brains to get. I see. Things you wish to ask me. Ill be looking forward to those. The Iron-blooded Monarch mulled over those words and spoke. If you visit meter, Ill teach you a few techniques that you could use. Techniques? Yes, techniques from my dimension that no longer exists. It will be of use to you. Thank you. The sudden offer was unexpected, but one thing was for sure. She liked my answer. Hence the reason for the offer. I dont know what kind of technique it is, seeing her boast about it, it must be useful. Iplimented myself foring up with a good answer and got ready to leave. Moving to the 18th floor waiting room momentarily. Once the transfer notification emerged, the Iron-blooded monarch spoke as if to say goodbye. Until you reach the 20th floor, I will be waiting here. And. I will await the days that you will fulfill your earnest desires. With that, sheughed brightly and my vision blurred. - - Youve entered the 18th floor waiting room. I stood still while mulling over the final words of the administrator as soon as I returned to the waiting room. Await the days that I will fulfill my earnest desires, huh. She was convinced that Id reach the 20th floor soon. And reminded me of that contract that said that shed fulfill a desire of mine. To be honest, I kind of forgot about it until now. But now that I was reminded of it, I knew what to do. Ill fulfill my desire right after clearing the 20th floor. Iron-blooded Monarch and White Crane Sword Saint were both expecting to fulfill my earnest desires. And I had no ns of letting them down. After all, they saw my potential and supported me wholeheartedly up until now. But. Before that, Ill have to take care of thebyrinth event first. Fulfilling that earnest desire was reserved for the future. After shaking off my thoughts, I purchased the Return Stone. Youve purchased Return Stone(D+). It was more expensive since it allowed me to remain on Earth for a month. But at this point, I didnt have to worry about spending points. I have plenty of points now. I held the crimson return stone in my hand and sent my strong will to return into the item. And. Challenger Han Sungyeun, confirming intention to return. Consuming the Return Stone to return to Earth. The familiar studio appeared after a blink of an eye.. . Habitually, I analyzed all the items after returning. Good, I have them all. I brought every single item that I could use frequently. Then, I immediately turned on my phone to search about the Great Tree Labyrinth. Since the tower stated that every official tower dimension will get thebyrinth, Earth would get one too. Then information would spread about it. So I nned to briefly research its location. And this proved to be an excellent decision. [The identity ofrge trees appearing in every world The hunters association states that, we will ensure to do our best regarding the situation.] [Appearance of the world tree at Seoul? The identity of the Great Tree Labyrinth ording to the challengers.] [Is the Great Tree Labyrinth a dungeon? Debates about its possibility causing a dungeon break are causing.] Theres more information than I thought. After briefly reading through all the articles, I got why the information spread so much. How could they not research this newrge tree that appeared at every corner of the world? However, most articles had no solid information. So I decided that it wasnt worth my time to read through every article and instead turned on my messaging app. Entering thebyrinth wont be difficult, whats left now is to form a team. So I attempted to contact Lee Hayeon whos basically my manager now to figure out ways to form a team. However. [Lee Hayeon : Sungyeun-ssi, we have a rather bothersome situation at hand.] While I was typing out my message, Lee Hayeon texted me first. [Lee Hayeon : every top challenger from all over the country is sending you countless requests to form a team with you to challenge thebyrinth] My eyes glinted at the message that followed. [Lee Hayeon : theres a possibility that your address got leaked so please be careful. Make sure to stay low once you return to Earth.] After all. [Lee Hayeon : Selecting challengers cane after that.] ording to her, I am currently a highly desired candidate for a teammate, and also. Everyone is heading my way? People all over the world areing here in search of me. That meant. How convenient That I didnt have to waste time to make arrangements to meet other challengers, but I could just choose anyone that fit my standards. It seems that Id be able to enter the Great Tree Labyrinth faster than I thought. I smiled brightly. [To be continued.] Chapter 165: Great Tree Labyrinth (4) ————-? Chapter 165: Great Tree Labyrinth (4) -?
Currently, the world was somewhat in a panic state. The hunter society established after the Great Cmity could no longer secure the safety of citizens. [The challenger from alternative dimension that attacked Japan, followed by the UK, but the Hunter Association still remains silent regarding this.] [Why cant hunters do their part? Analysis of every aspect of the tower of trials and challengers by specialists from each area.] [Does the tower focus on challengers on hard difficulty? There are opinions stating that the easy difficulty and normal difficulty has no difference between.] The world no longer desires hunters. The hunters could no longer protect the citizens from the unknown entity called the tower. Thus they started to elevate the challengers selected by the tower and among them, only the challengers who chose the hard difficulty could reign at the top floors.And that became the issue. The challenger who barely reached the 10th floor could demonstrate strength beyond that of an A ranked hunter. The ones who couldnt get chosen by the tower, or the ones that chose easy difficulty became excluded by all. The boundary between hierarchy began to copse. What a bullshit of a world. Shakya Devi was always off-put by this world. huff She sat at the back seat of the limo and let out a long drag of cigarette smoke without opening the windows. The era of hunters are ending, but the era of challengers are dawning.. How vexing. Shakya let out her displeasingmentaries of the tower. She had a good reason for it. After all, she was celebrated as one of the best hunters in India. But. As someone who said all that, she didntck status within the tower either. The Great Sorcerer. She was the second ranked challenger within the tower after all. Even amongst the hunters all around the world, she had rare and distinct techniques priced at a high value. Sorcery. Shaka had a Unique Attribute named [Favor of Sorcery] which allowed her to use sorcery. It couldnt be used as diversely as mana and it wasnt particrly useful for hunting, but. The real value of sorcery came from casting protection spells for high ranking people rather than using it for hunting. In terms of the system standards, sorcery ranked rather high as a technique. Those who were casted a protection spell could not be injured by mana nor items. Of course, even protection spells had limits, but. It was near impossible to get through Shakyas protection spells. It was so easy to get money and status before this. But after the appearance of tower, her sorcery lost its value. Only if those damned powers didnt appear, I couldve maintained my status! The powers that could be purchased from administrators were stronger than sorcery spells. A mere D ranked power could easily crush her high ranking sorcery. No words could describe just how low her value dropped. Of course, after risking her life in the tower, she managed to reach the second spot in ranking, but Shakya started to feel her limits. Im sick of risking my life now. The tower cant be climbed anymore with just sorcery. Sorcery was never an appropriate ability for trials in the first ce. It would only prove its worth afteryer andyers of preparation, so it was unfit for battle. And thanks to that, she almost lost her life before she reached the 15th floors waiting room. Shakya was certain that sorcery would not be enough to climb the tower And. A Great Tree Labyrinth will appear to every official tower dimension. At that very moment, an opportunity miraculously appeared before her. The Great Tree Labyrinth. The event hosted by the tower. If I can reach the deeper floors of thebyrinth, Id be able to ovee the weaknesses of sorcery. If she could use the rewards from thebyrinth, shed be able to be stronger than before. With just that desire alone, she traveled far away from her country. I have to recruit challenger Han Sungyeun. challenger Han Sungyeun. He got his fame from defeating the challenger from a different dimension back at Japan. And officially became the strongest challenger even among those who challenged the hard difficulty. Commonly referred to as a hunter, he was one of the most desired candidate to Shakya. And ording to those whove seen him, Han Sungyeun climbed the tower with absolute power. So he should be able to support her within the Great Tree Labyrinth as well. Currently, the limo that Shakya was on was heading to the ce that Han Sungyeun stayed at. Although it was a region greatly developed from the official yer sponsor policy. But to be honest, she wasnt so sure why a skilled challenger like him lived in a ce like this. Almost as if he doesnt care for whats outside of the tower at all. Shakya thought that Han Sungyeun might be more austere than she thought. Theres no way that hed remain at such lodging and not care for fame like this unless he was austere. That was a big problem for her. I most likely wont be able to recruit him using materials outside of the tower. Many of the rewards that Shakya could offer were not fit for an austere person. In case we cant be a teammate, huh?. She let out augh and muttered while putting out her cigarette with her hand. pshhhh. I guess it cant be helped then. Inside the dark limo, with sunlightpletely shut out from curtains. I cant let others have him, so Ill have to kill him neatly. Shakyas eyes glinted with killing intent. ?- -? At first, I thought that only a few people would gather here. Its not like I came here right after the emergence of thebyrinth, instead I waited a bit to check my new divinity and powers. So I was sure that most of the skilled fighters went to thebyrinth by now. Even more so since the first team reached the bottom of thebyrinth would get the reward. Instead of wasting time, itd be more efficient to enter thebyrinth to reach the bottom as soon as possible. But. Why do things keep getting bigger than my expectations.? My expectations werepletely crushed and proven false. Hello sir Han Sungyeun! I am the deputy team leader of the Eden n challenger management team, Lee Sunghyun! Please give us an opportunity to form a positive rtionship with yo! You n is old news so back off! Positive rtionship my ass! Yalls ranking went down below 7th in the KR hunter guild rankings! Ha! So did your Igis guilde within the top 7 rankings in korea? Your fame is basically nonexistent at this point! Massive crowds. Auggh, Please! Move! Challenger Han Sungyeun, Sir! Please! Just a little bit! Could we please talk? I am the manager of challenger Lee Shinwoo! Hes ranking at 17th! Han Sungyeun-ssi, please give us the honor to team up with you! Wheres your morals? Move, you shitheads! Dont push me! Form a line! A line! You motherfuckers! This was good enough to summarize the current situation. Whats this. I was truly bbergasted by this situation. When I first got out of the building, there were only a handful of people. But the information mustve leaked somehow as the numbers kept increasing to fill up the entire street now. . My head started to ache. I was going to make my selections when good challengers came personally. But only a few people came themselves, and instead, countless names which I didnt recognize appeared. This is getting annoying. There were no people meeting my standards, and instead there were people arguing with each other loudly. Annoying at the very least, now I was on the verge of wanting to escape from anger. DThey seem like those pesky leeches. Why arent you using your energy? They should be easily chased out with it. Dam Cheonwoo added on as if he was also annoyed, but. Thats illegal so why should I cause trouble for myself? I had no desire to escape this situation through illegal means. DI dont know what that means, but if energy release is not possible, why not let out your killing intent? The act of using abilities on others is illegal for challengers. Dsending out killing intent is illegal? Just how kind is your world? Havent you ever thought that Murim is the unnatural one? D. I replied to the shocked Dam Cheonwoo, but I still havent decided on what to do in this situation. What should I do? I thought that waiting was an option since other challengers were making their way here. And outside of that, there were other methods But that thought got interrupted. Bzzzt! Power Whisper of me is requesting to whisper with Challenger Han Sungyeon. Will you ept? A message appeared with a sudden ringing in my ear. Whisper? I epted the interesting offer to a sound near my ear. -Its been a while. A clear voice that sounds familiar. -oh dear, isnt it too much to never contact me after seeing each other in Japan? As soon as I heard that, I remembered whose voice it was. No wonder they say that connections matter. And concentrated on the sound flowing into my ears while letting out a smile. -its me, Katherine B. I thought that youd struggle to find a teammate. We just happen to have one opening on our team. It would seem like. -How bout it? Would you like to work as a team like back then? The team for the Great Tree Labyrinth was easily acquired. ?- -? Power Whisper of me is deactivating. Unfortunately, the whisper was not a method ofmunication. All it did was to rely on a message, and replying was impossible. I have no ns on forming a team, so everyone leave. But it wasnt difficult to demonstrate my eptance of her offer. My announcement here will be my reply to her. Sorry? Y, you have no ns on forming a team? Do you mean everyone at this ce?! Are you saying that you wont be participating in the Great Tree Labyrinth event?! T, then please ept this present that challenger Kim Cheoljin is sending you at least.. Stop ying dirty! Present my ass! Han Sungyeun-ssi! Do you already have a team? Could you please reconsider? The situation wasnt solved immediately, but with a team formed, I had no reason to entertain them. Activating skill Dark Wolfs Steps. H-Hes gone? H, Han Sungyeun-ssi? Where did you go? Whats going on? My detection skills wont work against him? Damn it! What kind of skill is it? Howe my attribute wont work?! And after erasing my presence, no one could recognize me. Skills eventuallye in handy I guess. I was thankful that I made my skills beforehand and silently moved away. Weve agreed upon a meeting location before ending the whisper, so moved towards it. She said that she already has a team made, so i just have to get there. It was relieving to find out that I didnt have to find members. Well, I never nned to recruit skilled members in the first ce. But itd be best to get the better deal if it didnt matter who was to be in the team. So it was natural that my mood would be lifted since Katherine did the work for me. The moment I was passing through the alleys towards the meeting spot. Challenger Han Sungyeun. Someone appeared from the shadows while calling out my name. Could you tell me where youre going in such a hurry? It was a foreign beauty that couldnt be covered by the purple robe she wore. And it didnt look like she was a part of the teammates chosen by Katherine B.. So I rested my hand at the Blood Demon Sword at my waist. DHm? A challenger like the sorcerer of Nanman? At the very least, shes certainly an unwee visitor. Dam Cheonwoo mustve also gotten a bad vibe from her as he took on an attentive position. The robed woman smiled to speak. Ahh, apologies if I surprised you. This is the standard if I want to meet a talent like you. Who are you? Shakya Devi. I am known as the Great Sorcerer back in the tower. . I remembered seeing that name in the ranking list around the 12th floor. Is she the person that got 2nd ce at the 12th floor? She was one of the strongest challengers from the Earth dimension. While keeping my guard up, I red at her. So? whats your purpose? Hm? It seems that you dont care to exchange pleasantries. Yes, so please get to the point now. ..well, if you say so. I guess it cant be helped. Shakya shrugged then narrowed her eyes. Its simple. Challenger Han Sungyeun, I want you to be my teammate. And your reason is? Is there a need for a reason for strong to team up with strong? Then I decline your offer. are you sure? I assure you that I can ept any requests that you have. I am sure. Shakya frowned at my answer. Why is that? I dont n on going through with making another team. Its too bothersome. So. youre saying that.. You have another team? Is that it? Yes. Any thoughts on getting a new team? None. Surely, you must be joking? If we joined forces, we should be able to clear even the lunatic difficulty. Why the rejection? . And wouldnt it be more annoying to have apetitor like me? Isnt it more logical to team up? Now thats not right. I replied with an annoyed look at Shakyas rebuttal. Because I am confident that I can kill you even if you be my enemy. . Is this good enough for an answer? Right. I now get that the top ranking challenger of Earth dimension is delusional. Shakya spoke with disdain and expressed her displeasure while taking out a cigarette. Fwoosh. The mes that appeared in her index finger lit up the cigarette when Dam Cheonwoo whispered. DThe unwanted visitor is finally starting to move. I knew that instinctively without him telling me. Actually, even without instincts, it was difficult to not know at this rate. Is the smoke a catalyst for activation of a skill? The alley was now full of smoke and the space was slowly losing its reality. Area Sorcery < Fog Dimension > has invaded a portion of a real space. This was the battlefield selected by the opponent. This area most likely will be readjusted to Shakya using another skill or technique. It could be easily theorized since Ive experienced simr things a few times before. Shhhhhh! As if to confirm my theory, Shakyas body was surrounded by an unnatural purple light. I suppose it cant be helped. And. If you wont be my teammate, then you just have to die here. Shakyas eyes turned cold while she spoke. Youll kill me? I sneered at her deration. Try it if you can. Ive actually been curious for a while. What a perfect stage to try out my new abilities. This was the perfect opportunity. Activating Divine Power State of Divinity. To see how far the power of gods went.[To be continued.] Chapter 166: Great Tree Labyrinth (5) ————-? Chapter 166: Great Tree Labyrinth (5) -?
Sorcery is not fit for battles. It cant destroy the grounds nor part the seas. Even magic, categorized simrly to sorcery, is more developed towards academics. Thus produced more attack based techniquespared to sorcery. But sorcery had nothing. Shakya Bevi, born of the slums from India acquired the unique attribute of [Favor of Sorcery] right after bing a hunter. But no one recognized her talent. Or rather, there was no way for them to know it.After all, sorcery was a forgotten arts. However, Shakya managed to be a top ranked hunter with just sorcery alone. After all, She was a genius. With [Favor of Sorcery], she quickly learned the advantages of sorcery. Sorcery uses a medium to exert a powerful ability. The only downside was that sorcery couldnt do much without a medium. But on the other hand, as long as a medium existed, it could exert a very powerful force. That was sorcery. So she was confident that shed win this battle. Cigarette Containing the Clouds of Thunder God Rank : A+ Number of Uses : [11/11] A cigarette containing a part of clouds created by the thunder god. itsprised of a total of 11 items and appropriate to be used as a medium to hold mana. When the cigarette is lit, half of total mana will be consumed to umte in a different cigarette. when smoking the cigarette with umted mana, the expelled mana will increase in strength by 1.8%. This was an item Shakya got as a reward for clearing the 15th floor. The total of 11 cigarettes can be used by using up 10 of the items.. To umte all the mana into thest single cigarette. It was the most fitting item for sorcerers. It feels a bit wasteful, but this much should guarantee the death of Han Sungyeun. Thus confirmed the confidence of Shakya Devi of achieving victory. Sorcery Area < Fog Dimension > has invaded a portion of a real space. The sorcery area was one of the ultimate moves of Shakya. At the cost of using an A+ ranked item and overwhelming amount of mana, death of the opponent would be certain. After all. Sorcery Output of Shakya Devi within Sorcery Area < Fog Dimension > increases by 400%. Defense of Shakya Devi within Sorcery Area < Fog Dimension > increases by 400%. Senses of Shakya Devi within Sorcery Area < Fog Dimension > increases by 400%. Shakya Devis stats would increase exponentially within this < Fog Dimension >. Of course, this would be unbeknownst to the opponent. Since this sorcery area had been designed like that. Ill finish this before he finds out. Shakya resisted the sense of omnipotence and broke off the bracelet on her wrist. Snap. Requirements met. Activating the exclusive effect Peg of Curse of Bracelet of Disastrous Luck(B+). The exclusive effect of the bracelet was activated through the destruction of the bracelet and. Activating the power Spell Enhancement. The exclusive effect Peg of Curse of Bracelet of Disastrous Luck(B+) is reinforced into Peg of Devil. And after reinforcing it with sorcery spells. Activating the power Sorcery of Detection. All sorcery will detect and follow challenger Han SungYeun until it meets its target. Tracking feature was sprinkled on top to prevent escape. The single strike enhanced with 400% sorcery output with the buff of < Fog Dimension > was. Rumble! Hovering mid air formed into a ck peg, to quickly shot out towards its target. But. sh! Huh? The ck peg got cleanly sliced in half before it could reach him. As if the single attack that Shakya invested everything in was nothing of importance. What on earth!? Shakya was distressed at that, but it didntst long. Fwoosh! A golden tornado surrounded Han Sungyeun to create a halo behind him. [ You cant even block Minds de? ] And. [ You will kill me? Where did your confidence evene from? ] In that brief moment, Shakya felt a sh of reverence and despair. No way. The golden halo behind his back was not the end. That cant be human Level of spirit. The quality of the soul itself was different. Just from sight alone was blinding the mind, and despair of natural disasters washed over. Thats almost like. This situation was far beyond what she could handle. An actual god?! This was almost like a small mantis attempting to defeat a storm. N, no. Thats impossible. I cant win against that. I have to run. She finally epted her fear to attempt an escape, but. [ We both want to get this over with. ] It was toote. [ So lets end it, shall we? ] Using divine power < Death >. sh! Shakya Devis sight darkened in blood red. ?- -? You have absorbed the soul of challenger Shakya Devi. Proficiency increased by 7% The battle with Shakya ended with noplication. Time over Deactivating the divine power State of Divinity. I thought that she was a strong opponent with that title of Great Sorcerer. But the one hit that she attempted to use every power she had, was too weak and lousy. It broke with just Minds de, so its strength was far below my expectations. At this rate, one thing was for sure. So I must be the strongest within the Earth dimension then. This was not ego. Just a simple truth with slightly bitter aftertaste. The truth that I was the strongest on Earth gave me difort rather than joy. I briefly thought that Kim Seunghoon or Oh Choonsuk might be different but I shook my head. I doubt it. Kim Seunghoon was strong. He had a history as the top ranking hunter from Korea. And had a violent one hit one kill fighting technique using lightning. But that was the extent of it. I wasnt sure of how strong he got, but unless he also got divine powers, he could not be at my level. And that was the same for Oh Choonsuk as well. He had enough potential to reach a simr level as David Taylor. But even David Taylor was just an average challenger despite his fame of being an excellent magician. Even if he managed to achieve great powers, without divine powers, there would be a boundary that he couldnt surpass. Of course, itd be a different story if he was selected as a candidate by the tower, but that seemed unlikely as well. After all. Its difficult to get selected as a candidate in the first ce, and Earth has no divine entities either. To be specific, I was getting close to bing a divine entity, but. I was not aplete divine being just yet nor could I share divine powers to other disciples. The Earth dimension will beckingpared to others. In a fight without divine powers, Earth dimensions would prove to be a worthy opponent. After all, they were excellent at navigating through skills and powers within the system in the first ce. However, dimensions like Ares and even Murim thats pretty closed off, used divine powers. Unless they could use divine powers, theyd hit their limit soon. . I was slightly concerned for the future of Earth, but I shook off that thought. I was in no position to be worrying about others. I could get killed by a god tomorrow so who am I to be worrying about others.? Climbing the tower has always been a choice to make. Even if you cant continue climbing due to being limited by divine powers, other paths still existed.??? ?? ??? ?? ???? ???. You could get chosen by gods of different dimensions or be a candidate. Theres always ways. The ones who are destined to continue their ascent will create their own path, so there was no need to worry. Permanently increasing your stats using the souls in captivity. Strength increased by 14. Agility increased by 10. Stamina increased by 11. Mana increased by 9. Tenacity increased by 7. I absorbed all the souls in my possession first. Afterbining the souls of the Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul and challenger Shakya Devi, my stats increased drastically. I guess no new skills. There were no skills to be extracted from the souls but it didnt disappoint me too much. Skills that Shakya had wouldnt do much for me in the first ce. And none of the skills that the Heavenly Demon Cheon Yoosul had attracted me enough. Then a message appeared in the corner of my eyes. The Sorcery Area < Fog Dimension > is shutting down due to the death of the user. I should first recover Shakyas items before this < Fog Dimension > shuts downpletely. Items within this sorcery area could disappear just like when the Magic Area shuts down. Just in case items would disappear along the area, I analyzed all the items that Shakya Devi had. And. Now these are interesting. Managed to find a few items that seemed useful. Sorcery Assisting Bracelet Rank : A+ Sorcery Output +57% Sorcery Output Speed +67% An assistive bracelet created by Shakya Devi, the strongest sorcerer of Earth dimension. It has excellent durability from being created by a special power and ability to buff sorcery output which is highly priced by all sorcerers. Marble that Consumes Despair Rank : A+ A marble crafted by a certain demon by imbuing a mana sensitive ore with a vengeful spirit. When in contact with uncleanliness, its exclusive effect Consumption of Demonic Energy is activated. Negative emotions are absorbed to enhance wrongful abilities. The more negative energy it absorbs, the stronger its durability gets. Sorcery Assisting Bracelet and Marble that Consumes Despair. Both of these items were one of the highest ranked items that Shakya had. I didnt expect her to create an item herself. Well, its not like it was umon practice. I had no talent nor found joy in crafting items. But those with good aptitude for it crafted and used items themselves. She most likely created her own item since she used an umon ability called sorcery. But it meant that it was useless to me since I didnt use sorcery. I guess it cant be helped. The conclusion was that this item had absolutely no use for me and it was just an item with excellent durability. So. sh! The Sky Breaking Sword managed to break whats difficult to break to rank up to S-(3,817/25,000). Useless items were excellent sacrifices for the sky breaking sword. Activating the exclusive effect Tribute of the item Seal of Tribute (SS-). You can choose to make an offering among the [Talent], [Ability], [Treasure] that you possess. I was nning on exchanging misceneous items into divine powers. Youve selected [Treasure] as an offering to god. Select a [Treasure] to offer. It wouldve done nothing for Steel Eat, so it was more efficient to use it to increase divine powers. Youve received 11 offerings from yourself. Converting the items into divinity to umte in the heart. And. Power Divinity(B+)is ranking up to Divinity(A-). The power divinity finally leveled up to increase the amount of divine powers within the heart. Power Divinity(A-) can now enhance powers. It was said back when my divinity increased into a B+ rank that conviction and faith would be affected. So now even powers can be enhanced by divinity? With it ranked up, even powers could be enhanced using divinity now. Strongly activating the power Calm. So I used it to test it out, and its effects were immediate. . My mind was instantaneously silenced to increase my concentration. It felt as if I would never be affected by mind attacking skills and my emotions no longer controlled me. With Calm enhanced as such, I was looking forward to just how much my other powers will grow. No wonder it took so long for divinity to reach A- Having such a cheat-like skill was the reason why the power ranked up so slowly. Activating True Blood Demon Sword(A-)s exclusive skill Blood Eat. Items rank raises to A+ (8,917/9,200) from absorbing challenger Shakya Devis blood. After using blood eat with blood demon sword, a change urred in space. Sorcery Area < Fog Dimension > ispletely shutting down. Rumble! After wrapping up the power enhancements, the fog filled space shook violently. And all the remains of battle within the fog dimension disappeared to return back to the real space. I guess Ill leave now. I was held back with an unexpected fight, but it didnt disturb my schedule that much. I continued on to meet up with the rest of my team. Tap! Maps were not needed to lead me to the destination. After all. She told me to meet up at the ce near the Great Tree Labyrinth. I looked at the overwhelming size of the great tree and smiled. How exciting. How far can I go with every ability locked? That question sent butterflies in my stomach. And. Youve entered thebyrinth participation area Team is formed after entering the invite code. The team can enter the Great Tree Labyrinth with a total number of 4 members. This question of mine will soon be answered. [To be continued.] Chapter 167 167. Lunatic Difficulty (1) After the message that you have entered thebyrinth participation area appears Please enter the team invitation code. Light letters that look like keyboards appeared in my field of vision. It was as if I was asked to write down the team invitation code right here. Team invitation code Iughed at the fact that I was asked to enter an invitation code to form a team like a game. But even that was short-lived. Soon I quickly filled in the team invite code field. I checked the team invitation code [E781]. I already memorized the invitation code before the battle with Shaka. It was only 4 digits long, so it wasnt difficult to remember. Would you like to send an application to Team S3A1? I asked again if I would like to participate, but this was not something to think about. The application for participation has been sent to Team S3A1. After sending the application for participation, a response came back The leader gave permission to participate in Team S3A1. A map and chat window are provided. Soon, a familiar chat window came to mind. [S3A1] Katherine Bet: Are you here? It was a chat function simr to themunity function in the tower. Is this also the consideration of the Tower? If it was a chat window with the same function, it was possible to adapt right away. [S3A1] Katherine Bet: She is a very peculiar person. You. I didnt expect you to ept the offer right away To that, I immediately responded through chatting. [S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: I cant help it because there is no other team with as many great challengers as this team. To be honest, I chose this team because I really liked it. Well, its not a lie at all to say that the people who make up the team are great, but Rather than choosing because the team members are good, its more correct to say that they were chosen because they wouldnt hold back their ankles. If I had been obsessed with the team, I would not have epted the offer right away. There might be a team with better conditions somewhere. Of course, I didnt mean to say the truth, so I answered appropriately. It was then. [S3A1] Kim Seunghun: It took a long time. Did you get into a fight on the way? Considering the departure time, it seems to be quitete [S3A1] Chun-seok Oh: Uh Hmm Are you really Han Seong-yoon? Something doesnt feel real I smiled as I saw the message that came up on the chat window. I cant believe that the team will gather at that time. I had heard of it beforehand from Catherine Bet, but seeing it in person was strange. But there was no time to dwell on trivial thoughts. [S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: Why dont you put aside the unimportant things and enter the giant treebyrinth? I immediately suggested entering the giant treebyrinth via chat. [S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: Many challengers must have entered thebyrinth. We cant fall behind either. It was well worth it. In the first ce, I was very interested in the perks I could receive from the giant treebyrinth. [S3A1] Kim Seunghun: Thats right. Before that, I have a question What level of difficulty are you thinking of? [S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: I am thinking of Lunatic difficulty. [S3A1] Kim Seung-hun: I thought so. Then there wont be a difference of opinion on this. [S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: Its nice that you dont have to coordinate opinions like this. As soon as the entry into the Lunatic difficulty was decided easier than I thought, I felt a bit lost in steam. It was all the more so because I had thought of persuading him to some extent. But [S3A1] Katherine Bet: The reason we all gathered here in the first ce is because of the Lunatic difficulty. I heard that the purpose of this team was to challenge the Lunatic difficulty, so I understood it. [S3A1] Katherine Bet: Anyway, if the entrance to thebyrinth has been decided, there is no need to waste time. Eventually. [S3A1] Katherine Be: Lets do the rest of the conversation inside and now lets enter the giant treebyrinth. At the end of that chat, a new message appeared. Entrance conditions satisfied. Would you like to enter the giant treebyrinth? Finally, enter the giant treebyrinth. *** DAre you entering thebyrinth now? As I was about to enter the giant treebyrinth, I heard Damcheonwus voice in my ears. Because I came here with that in mind. DThen I guess youll be a little bored by then Are you sorry? -No way? Its a bit unfortunate that I cant drink blood, but I can put up with boredom. Dont be so sorry. DNo, you said you didnt feel sorry for me, but why do you keep saying that you feel sorry for yourself. I told you that you can retrieve the skill or item by going down the floor anyway, so I will find it for you then. DPlease listen to the end! Then lets go. After teasing Dam Chun-wu for a while, I epted the position of the giant treebyrinth. Entering the giant treebyrinth And The difficulty chosen by Team S3A1 is [Lunatic]. Exclusive Lunatic difficulty penalty applies. It moved and a message popped up. Temporarily loses all abilities. All types of abilities decrease to [10]. Skills and powers disappear while staying in thebyrinth. does not apply. It was the information I knew. However, it was a little disheartening to feel the strength draining from the body again. I never thought that I would not be able to use the abilities Ive umted so far The feeling of losing all skills and abilities in the body in real time was close to pain. But I couldnt help it. Because I cant carry these anymore. It was a moment of adaptation with the feeling of putting down the burden I was carrying for a while. Conditions satisfied. Suddenly, a message popped up saying that the conditions were satisfied Divinity < Yeokcheon > will be forcibly used. Unexpectedly, the divinity raised its head and revealed its presence. The divinity < Yeokcheon > resists the system applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon. The power skills and divine power attributed to the divinity do not disappear. What is this again The divine power in the heart has a defense like an iron fortress, as if it would not obey outside pressure. Of course, other abilities disappeared, but the divinity and the abilities attributed to the divinity remained the same. Resistance to the system It seemed like he could understand why the divine name was called < Yeokcheon >. To resist the providence determined by the system and nothing else? As the name suggests, it was tantamount to actually going against the mandate of Heaven. Maybe it was because it was a divinity that was so absurdly easy to obtain, but the sense of reality was a bit off In a nutshell, < Death > and < Immortality > as well as < Transcendence > boasted tremendous abilities, so there was nothing strange about it. [HP / MP] function is created for challenger Han Seong-yoon. When all [HP] is consumed, the giant tree is expelled from thebyrinth. It bes possible to use the system within thebyrinth by consuming [MP]. It was something I hadnt heard. The system ispletely configured like a game. Seeing that when all [HP] is consumed, the giant tree is expelled from thebyrinth, it didnt seem like a function that really handles life. Likewise, given that [MP] was able to use the system in thebyrinth, it was clear that [MP] did not mean real magic. It really feels like an event. Perhaps [HP] is a function that protects the challenger, and [MP] is a cost concept used when using the system in thebyrinth. I thought about that for a moment, but soon realized that it didnt mean much. Thats right Enter the giant treebyrinth 1st floor [Maze of Beginnings]. You will soon find out what these functions mean. *** You have entered the Stone Chamber of Beginnings. Equip yourself and enter the [Maze of Beginnings]. And go down to the deepest part of thebyrinth faster than anyone else. In a very short time, the scenery changed again. From a ck space to a stone chamber that looks like a converted waiting room. And Ugh Its been a while since my body was this heavy There were people I knew in the stone chamber. Starting with Catherine Bet muttering that her body is heavy I agree. Its the first time my stats are lower than when I woke up Its really inconvenient. Uk Joe Its not a little ufortable I feel like Im going to vomit Kim Seung-hun and Oh Chun-seok each got up as if they hade to their senses. I looked at them and greeted them in a tone that was neither high nor low. Long time no see. It was only then that the eyes of those in the stone chamber began to focus on me. Is this the first time since I saw you in Japan? Quite a bit of time passed, but I couldnt see them peeping, but in the end, they met like this. The first person to speak was Kim Seung-hun, who calmed down. He smiled and said that, and I nodded. Well, after that I spent most of my time in the tower. Living only in the tower, I had no time to contact the people I knew on Earth. Your name is Hunter, but Seong-yoon doesnt seem to go to dungeons at all. Oh Chun-seok looked at me like that and said as if he was dumbfounded Because the tower is also a kind of dungeon. I didnt feel the need to go to the dungeon. I replied casually to that and looked at the weapons hanging on the walls of the stone chamber. Swords, spears, bow sticks, etc Numerous weapons were hung on the walls of the stone chamber as if they were on disy. It didnt look like an item as if it were a basic weapon, but even that seemed to be helpful now. I took out the longsword hanging on the wall of the stone chamber, put it on my waist, and opened my mouth. Its better to step aside and move now. Pick a weapon and enter the first floor. Katherine Bet, still unable to stand up, looked at me in amazement. Are you serious? Didnt even adapt and went to the first floor already? Is there any problem? It is strange that there is none! My stats have been lowered like this, but I need time to adapt! Thats not wrong. In fact, I couldnt fully adapt to my current physical condition. Its just that the abilities Ive been adapting to for 7 years before entering the tower are very low, so its like this. In the first ce, I was fixed on a slightly higher ability level than the average person. Actually Han Sungyoon HP C 80/80 MP C 30/30 Muscle C 10 Stamina C 10 Agility C 10 Magic Power C 10 Endurance C 10 Unique Trait C Necromancy (F) Power C Divine Power (A-) Currently, my status window waspletely initialized except for the unique characteristics and divine power. Honestly, I dont know if Ill fully adapt in realbat. Since he relied heavily on skills like gray blood, he might make absurd mistakes. But Dont worry. I was confident. You will never have to fight. Even in such a weakened state Because I will protect you. I am confident that I will be able to protect my teammates without difficulty. Chapter 168 168. Lunatic Difficulty (2) The moment I finished saying that I can protect everything. Most of the eyes that gathered on me were close to the reaction of being dumbfounded. It was worth it. Talking about who to protect or what to do in the face of the disappearance of abilities and skills as well as abilities is itself a funny sound. Of course But itsmon sense that doesnt work for me. That would be the case if I hadnt learned martial arts and all of my powers had disappeared. He learned various martial arts from the library of the lightsaber system and maintained his power skills. ability level? To be honest, anyone can win even if the difference in ability is close to 4 times. It is a level that does not interfere with protecting teammates and defeating enemies. So I didnt think about adapting to my physical abilities here. Even if you feel exhausted, you can endure and fight. i get it. You seem to be serious, so lets take care of it while this has happened. The first to respond to my words of protecting everyone was Kim Seung-hun. Ah, I will adapt as quickly as possible, so dont worry too much. He said that casually, then took out the two-handed hammer hanging on the wall of the stone chamber and held it. Katherine Bet, who watched it, muttered as if her head was pounding. Why are there only so many inhumane people on this team But that was short-lived. great. I know how monstrous you are, so I will take care of you. Catherine Be quickly agreed to my words without objection, and Oh Chun-seok also nodded his head in a daze. Uh well Since Im a wizard in the first ce, you have to protect me, so nothing will change Following Kim Seung-hun, they chose one of the weapons ced in the stone chamber. In this ce, which was named the stone chamber of the beginning, there was nothing to choose from other than weapons. So, after choosing a weapon, it was as if it was decided what to do. It looks like the preparations are over, so lets go into thebyrinth now. After saying that, I turned my back and put my hand on the stone gate that is believed to be the entrance to thebyrinth and gave strength. Geug-! The stone door opened slowly, and soon a damp air flowed in as if brushing my cheek . The mysterious sight of shining stones ced here and there caught my eye. Still, its fortunate that its not so dark that I cant see the surroundings. Thanks to that, it seemed that the trouble of adapting to the darkness could be relieved. It was a while to think that thebyrinth with a friendly appearance was surprising. You have entered the [Maze of Beginnings] on the 1st floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth. It is abyrinth inhabited by mutated monsters hiding in the Giant Tree Labyrinth. Ovee the difficulties and find the hidden key. And open the door at the end of the maze and go downstairs. For some reason, a familiar but at the same time disparate message came to mind. is simr. It was a form close to the message that popped up whenever the tower entered an ordeal. However, there is no remaining time given to the ordeal, and the reward uponpletion of the ordeal is not specified. Its close to the tower, but its not a ce that gives rewards like the tower. I felt like I knew a little bit about this ce. The closest thing to a tower withoutpensation is the giant treebyrinth. But If theres no reward, Ill have to take care of it on my own. Still, it wasnt that there was no way to get the reward at all. That would be the case too Gureuk-! Four [Mutated ck Goblins] have appeared. As long as you have Necromancy, you can absorb any number of rewards. Is this just beginners luck? And Ill be able to raise my stats from the start. Fortunately, an offering to be a reward appeared just in time. *** Katherine Be thought she knew quite well about Sungyoon Han. It was worth it. She had a history of dueling with Han Seong-yoon herself, and also had experience fighting together as a colleague. Perhaps few people know Han Seong-yoon as well as Catherine Bet. Thoughts that seem to have loosened the screws for some reason, absurdly powerful abilities, and even a persistent obsession with growth No matter how low his abilities are, that person will be as strong as a monster. He was well aware that Han Seong-yoon was different from the usual challengers. But Still, its impossible to deal with something like that! Even she couldnt help but drool in this situation. Why does something like that appear as soon as you enter the first floor? Goblin. Originally, it is a monster that is ssified as the lowest level but the goblins living in this giant treebyrinth could hardly be called the lowest level. With a weight ss that is about twice the height of a standard goblin, and a body that is close to muscr There were even four of these monstrous goblins. Its not a level that I can handle alone. Katherine Bet decided that they needed to be cool and join forces. I dont know if all 4 people here can win even if they do their best. In the absence of authority or skill, this is amon sense conclusion. So, Han Seong-yoon also thought that he would think about it for a while instead of rushing right away. But to me! Before Katherine Be had time to stop, Han Seong-yoon kicked the floor. She was startled by the light movement without the slightest hesitation. Crazy really! What are you thinking, overdoing it!? Blindly rushing at enemies who dont know if they can win even if they work together? To be honest, it was no different from a suicide attempter. By the way Huh? It was running incredibly fast. The power skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 40%. Current skill ovep progress C [4] Catherine Bet was taken aback at the speed at which she couldnt believe she had no skills. It was the same for others. Thats a speed that can be reached with an agility of about 10? Even Kim Seung-hun frowned and expressed his doubts. What kind of unbelievable speed! Could it be that you recovered your skills in this short period of time? Oh Chun-seok was terrified as if he had seen something nonsensical. But even that was short-lived. Kieek!! Boooooong! A goblin rushed at Han Seong-yoon and swung his club down. Soon, Han Seong-yoon showed off a skill that made no sense than before with a sword. Kagagak! The sword flows like a snake on a club. The de climbed the club very naturally, as if it had been oiled. And What the hell is that? Chow! [Critical blow!] [The mutated goblin consumes all of its HP and is reced with nutrients from the World Tree.] The transformed goblins throat was cut as easily as cutting a cake The form changed and disappeared beyond recognition. Kiaag! Another mutated goblin resentful of him rushed at Han Seong-yoon but suddenly! [Critical blow!] [The mutated goblin consumes all of its HP and is reced with nutrients from the World Tree.] Even the newly attacked goblin was helplessly cut in half and died. . Katherine Be stared nkly at Han Seong-yoon. I didnt even have time to know what was going on. The sword slithered and suddenly two goblins died. That was all Catherine Bet saw. Indeed, its an overwhelming sight, but Is this how the system works? Han Seong-yoon, who showed tremendous skill, said that there was no inspiration. Rather than fighting, he was more interested in the system messages that popped into his field of vision. Ki Kieek Then the mutated goblins hesitated as if they realized something was strange and tried to back away but The power skill, Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase to 80% It will increase. Current skill ovep progress C [8] Chow! Kwajijik! Before I could properly distance myself, the de of the sword shed like a sh. In the blink of an eye for a moment, the distance narrowed and the goblins were cleared at once. Critical blow! Mutated goblin consumes all of its HP and reces it with the nutrients of the World Tree. Critical blow! Catherine Bet, who watched the process, murmured as she trembled. That person might not really be of the same species It was more like a voice tinged with awe. *** The battle itself inside the giant treebyrinth ended in a nd way. Seeing a match with swordsmanship without having to use mana, the monsters gave up their heads very easily. In the first ce, I can use a power skill, but theres no way that a goblin would be an opponent. Well, it is fraudulent to maintain divine power and authority skills with divine < Yeokcheon > . I wont be vignt though. I soon organized my impressions and absorbed all the spirits rising from everywhere. Absorbed the spirit of the mutated goblin. Skill increased by 18.4% Absorbed the spirit of the mutated goblin Skill increased by 17.8% Mutated goblin Absorbed the spirit of Skill increased by 13.4% Absorbed the spirit of a mutated goblin Skill increased by 19.2% The corpses are particles of light Even though it was reduced to , only the spirit remained. Did I say it was reced with the nutrients of the World Tree? Perhaps, like the dead goblin, the challenger would also disappear as particles of light. Of course, unlike goblins who really died, if they consumed all their HP, they would be expelled from thebyrinth. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits Muscle strength increased by 9 Agility increased by 6 Stamina increased by 9 Magic power increased by 4 Durability increased by It has risen by 8. After absorbing all the spirits, he felt his body surging with vitality. Its been a long time since Ive clearly felt this level of ability rise. It was only for a moment to enjoy the pleasure of growth that dominated the whole body. From now on, we will also participate in the battle. Catherine Bet, who approached me, said that, and I tilted my head and asked her a question. Have you already adapted to your current abilities? No, thats not it But why are you in such a hurry to join the battle? Thats Katherine Bet paused for a moment before continuing with a blush. Only like this, I think Ill only get help from you throughout the whole process of attacking thebyrinth A nk smile was built on his face as if he would definitelyplete his role. I dont know why, but its a bit special. It was not necessary to match it like this, but it was cute to say that he would join the battle right away. I agree. If we continue like this, it will only be useless, so we should participate in battle even if we are not used to it. Im in the same position as Sunghoon hyung-nim. Eating raw like this doesnt really suit my temper. Kim Seung-hun and Oh Chun-seok also dered that they would participate in the battle, and I nodded my head. All right. And after that, I took the lead and started walking through the maze. To be honest, it wouldnt be good for a team member to step up to grow into necromancy, but Still, the team members also need to grow. It was worth enduring because the team members could not bepletely abandoned anyway. Well, the fact that there was less reason to obsess over raising stats with necromancy also yed a role. Now that the difference in stats has reached the point where you can take and press the difference in skill level To be honest, it didnt matter if we met the minimum required level. Whats important is the skill you get every time you go down the hierarchy anyway. As I thought about the skills I would get back with the 1st floor reward, I was falling into a maze before I knew it. Luckily or not, the monster hadnt been there yet, but my sense of geography seemed a bit twisted. Certainly the road is difficult. I thought I could understand why it was called the [Maze of Beginnings] because the road itself was not simple and winding. Should I say its because I dont know where it leads? But that wandering around didntst long. I found a hidden room in the maze. He found a ck door in the middle of the maze. Its a hidden room Then I remembered that the system told me that I needed a key to get through the maze. Could there be a key to pass through the maze here? Its hard to be sure, but There must be plenty of possibilities. Thinking that there was some truth, I immediately opened the ck door. But What is this again? When I opened the door, what appeared was unexpected. I found an altar to a hidden god. Altar. A ce where rituals can be performed to offer sacrifices to the gods. This ce A challenger with talent can receive grace from the god of darkness. It was a ce where the challenger could receive strength from the god. Chapter 169 169. Lunatic Difficulty (3) I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the system message that seemed to block my view. A challenger with a talent can receive grace from the Dark God. I couldnt figure out why a ce like this even existed. What is the purpose? Its Gods grace Even that is not a god subordinated to the tower, but receives the power of an external deity. For an event hosted by TOP, there were so many suspicious corners that it was absurd. Of course, it wasnt that I couldnt understand that Gods grace was bestowed on the challenger. Because there is a huge difference between a challenger with divinity and a challenger without. Perhaps the tower was trying to give the challenger the qualifications to obtain divinity with the giant treebyrinth Presumably, this altar exists to give opportunities to challengers who are not on the list. but. If this is the case, the challenger will have a close rtionship with the god outside the tower? It was unknown why the method of giving the challenger a chance was rted to the deity outside the tower. The answer will be one of two. This giant treebyrinth itself was greatly interfered with by the deities outside the tower Otherwise, the tower would have intentionally allowed the gods to set up an altar in the giant treebyrinth. Thetter must be closer to the correct answer than the former. However, the tower is a powerful being that even the godhead cannot easily touch. Being interfered with by the gods was difficult to ept as the correct answer. therefore. Thetter inference, the Tower, would be correct in intentionally allowing the deities to set up altars. But I couldnt figure out why the Tower allowed the godhead to set up an altar. Did they make some kind of deal with each other? It took a while to keep my mouth shut and think hard. No matter how you look at it, this looks like a hidden piece? Suddenly, I stopped thinking and opened my mouth at Catherine Bets words. I guess so. Even the system message said that it was a hidden gods altar. It didnt matter that much about why the Tower had to set up an altar anyway. It doesnt matter if you find outter. But the gains from using the altar are important. First of all, it was urgent to find out what could be obtained through this altar. In fact, Oh Chun-seok quickly figured out the conditions of use rather than thinking about why there was such a thing. Perhaps this altar can only be used by challengers who meet certain conditions. He looked around the altar and continued his words as if muttering. I dont know what his predisposition is, but he probably feels like a favorite of God. Hearing that, I was a little amazed. That sounds usible. Perhaps Oh Chun-seoks idea was not wrong. Most of the godheads want to receive high-quality faith from believers. Those with good conditions to offer their faith to the dark god will be able to use this altar. Its fine anyway, so I want to know if I can use this altar first. Kim Seung-hoon reacted calmly and soon approached the stone b in the center of the altar. Because the stone b is in the middle, perhaps you can tell whether or not you will be blessed with it. Ah yes. Like Seunghun said, the altar will probably work if you touch the stone b. but. It means there may be a limit on the number of times. Thats right. At that, Katherine Be opened her mouth cautiously, her eyes twinkling. Then would it be okay if I try it first? It seems that he is more interested in grace than anyone else in this room. It didnt matter whether Kim Seung-hoon or I received grace or not, and Oh Chun-seok didnt seem to be very interested in grace itself. Hmmmm! Since everyone has no disagreements, I will be the first to receive grace! Therefore, she naturally fell in line with Katherine Be Challenger Catherine Bet chose to be favored by the God of Darkness. As soon as she put her hand on her stone tablet, such a message came to mind and ck energy overflowed from her stone tablet. Challenger Catherine Bet has been chosen by the God of Darkness, so grace is bestowed on her. Katherine Be seeded in winning her favor. Wow! Its okay! I have received the grace! Good for you. Please tell me what kind of grace you have received. Catherine Bet made a fuss over her with her gleeful face and she exined her grace that she had received within her. Its a grace called the Shroud of Concealment Its the ability to hide yourself using something called [MP]. uh and and? The grace you received from the dark god doesnt disappear even if you leave the tower? In addition, did you obtain the preliminary apostle qualification? Anyway, it is. Prospective Apostle Qualifications. Hearing that, I frowned at the next message that came to mind. The dark god looks at you and smiles. What kind of trickery is this again? A god who is kind to me, but whose intentions are difficult to understand, suddenly designated a colleague as a reserve apostle. Of course, it wasnt precisely that I became a preliminary apostle, but rather that I obtained qualifications Still, there was no doubt that the god of darkness had purposed to give Katherine Be qualifications as a prospective apostle. The god of darkness tells us to wait a bit, as the reunion is not far away. It was even more so when I saw this message. The reunion is not far off Before I could think about what that meant, another new message appeared. The Altar of the Hidden God has confirmed that there are no more talented people. It was as if he was issuing an order to celebrate now that he had finished all his business, but The Altar of the Hidden God is blocked. Well, the other side doesnt want to give grace anymore, but this side cant say anything. It seems like Ive got everything I need now I quietly burned my will and continued. Lets end the ordeal on the first floor. I wanted to get my strength back as quickly as possible. *** I knew full well that the Dark Gods were not malicious towards me. Rather, she was a self-defense deity who allowed me to be an apostle and defeated the god of battle. But will other gods who can qualify as preliminary apostles through the Altar of Hidden Gods do the same? Im sure not. Just like the god of battle thates to mind right now, there will certainly be a malevolent god to me. It wasnt like a doubt, it was more like a certainty. It seems that there are no other challengers on the first floor [Maze of Beginnings], but Will there be no challengers in ces like the second and third floors that will appear after that? no. Rather, the tower even announced that it could be apetition between different dimensions. In other words, the lower you go, the more likely you are to be in danger. to be honest. Its a little fun. There was tension and vitality all over her body. How strong will you be after oveing all the crises toe in thisbyrinth? As I went through the maze while chewing on that pleasant curiosity, the eleration to break through the first floor began to pick up before I knew it. However, apart from that, monsters that could raise the proficiency of necromancy were not easy to see. That would be too p! Wedge! Caang! This is because numerous traps wriggled as if they were alive in the maze, revealing their presence. Arrows that are suddenly ejected from the wall of the maze of metal falling from the ceiling, even the de that is about to swipe my ankle, which feels like the scythe of the grim reaper There were many devices that could not pass with this ability. I cant get past this. Passing through this ce with the current ability is close to suicide. thud. Seunghoon Kim put his battle hammer down on the ground and grumbled like that. What is that? It seems to beposed of a magical device, but perhaps there is a release device somewhere. Oh Chun-seok looked around and soon told me an interesting fact. Oh, of course he didnt listen very intently. Its useless information anyway. I lightly rxed with the sword hanging from my waist. It seemed like I had to be a little prepared for this skill level. Youre not thinking about it again, are you? Katherine Be, who saw that, asked with a slightly stiff face, not knowing why It doesnt even look like theres something out there. I said that casually and straightened my posture. I agree that there must be something, but I need to find the trap disarming device first I will be back as soon as possible. Oh, and if I find the key, Ill bring it to you. In all probability, there is an important item beyond the trap that has been painstakingly worked. What kind of madness did this man do again! Youre really going to die after that!? Of course, Katherine Be must have thought this was too much, and she stopped me, but she didnt listen. Then lets go. After saying that, I immediately activated my authority skill. The authority skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 100%. Current skill ovep progress C [10] and. The divine power disappears very quickly. The divinity umted in the heart quickly melts away like a burning candle. However, the effect of the Power skill skill also increased significantly. Whoa! Even with the sound of cutting the air hitting my ears, I focused my mind clearly. Apparently, the ability level was lowered as if it were initialized, so the level of the bodys eyesight also dropped by that much. It was necessary to raise theck of basic torso vision to the limit due to the sense of crisis that death was imminent. actually. As I ran directly to the pile of traps, the tingling sensation running down my back made me aware of the traps. There are a lot of traps, so I need to move my body as little as possible. Whoops! Bend your knees slightly and move your head to the left to release two arrows flying from the front. There is a gap between the bars rising from the floor, so theres no need to avoid that spot. Pababat! I evaded the bars by moving them between the cracks, suddenly rising from a hole in the floor. Anyway, theres no problem if the traps fall from the ceiling elerate enough that they cant catch up. Cuckoo! In addition, stones and metals falling from the ceiling move faster than they fall and are ignored. After repeating the process a few times, a message appeared. Thebyrinth achievement Make the impossible possible (Unique) has been achieved. You will get +15byrinth points. The skill Focus on Combat (C+) is created. Unlike the achievements of the tower, it seems to provide skills that can be used in thebyrinth The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The users concentration doubles. Thanks to that, myck of body vision was supplemented, and I was able to prate the path of the trap quickly bang! As soon as I kicked open the purple stone gate at the end of the trap road, a new scenery unfolded. You have entered the boss room of the [Maze of Beginnings] on the 1st floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth. Sitting on a purple throne was a one-eyed goblin wearing a dirty crown. Quatz Juice! He was sitting on the throne, eating a chunk of ck meat that he couldnt even recognize. It was quite bizarre to even chew on his bones without throwing them away. This is the corrupted Goblin King who ate the mutated monsters on the first floor. The Corrupted Goblin King hid inside the Giant Tree Labyrinth, but couldnt go down to the depths. Because of that, I couldnt absorb the nutrients of the giant treebyrinth, and I monopolized the power of the World Tree alone. The exnation of the stage, which was not so curious, was skimmed over with my eyes. Destroy the corrupted Goblin King and obtain the key to go downstairs. Because one thing is important anyway. Kreur The Goblin King, who threw the meat he was chewing nearby, red at me with his only remaining eye. Youre lucky. and. I never thought I could handle this on my own. I grinned and charged straight at the Goblin King. *** The battle ended quickly. The corrupted Goblin King, the system said something In the end, he was a monster with nothing special except for his physical abilities. You have absorbed the spirit of the corrupted Goblin King. Skill increases by 37.9%. The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy has reached 100%. The grade of the unique attribute Necromancy will rise by one level. The boss is so weak that its lethargic for a top difficulty level. I murmured as I wiped off the blood on my longsword. Thebyrinth achievement The Art of Battle (Rare) has been achieved. You will getbyrinth points +4 points. I havepleted thebyrinth achievement Rare Acquirebyrinth points +4 points Receive the Labyrinth Achievement Rare Eachbyrinth score +4 points As soon as the battle was over, I frowned at the baptism of messages that came to my mind. Noisy. Immediately after removing thebyrinth achievement message to the corner of my sight, I let out a sigh. Its abyrinth achievement, so giving useless points to one subject. Unlike the previous achievements that gave battle-focused skills, there were many useless achievements this time. I think it would have been better if they gave me a skill as an achievement reward. I didnt feel happy even if they increased the unknown numbers calledbyrinth points, so I did what I had to do. You have obtained the Maze Escape Key (Common). Automatically used when reaching the end of the maze. When he held the ck key on the handle of the throne in his hand, the exnation of the system message continued. Now the first floor ordeal is over. Somehow, it seems like ayer with more traps than monsters, but after knowing the background of the stage, I understood. Because the corrupted Goblin King kept eating his own people, there are few goblins left. Even when I first saw him, he was eating a piece of meat presumed to be a goblin, so it could be seen as faithful to the stage background. Even the goblins that appeared in the beginning must be rare. Well, anyway, since Necromancys level has risen and it can absorb skills, there was no regret. Absorbs the spirit of the corrupted Goblin King to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength has increased by 6. Agility has increased by 5. Your physical strength has increased by 7. Magic power has increased by 5. Durability has increased by 7. Although a little less than before, the ability has risen to a considerable extent. and. Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the corrupted Goblin King. Soon, even the skill absorption message came to mind, and the rewards increased. I learned the skill Focus on Strike (D+). Looking at the skill performance, it was found that the next blow can be strengthened by consuming mana. In addition, the fact that the blow after using the skill also increases the perfection of the skill. Its not a bad skill. Well, I dont feel that the damage iscking enough to strengthen the attack, but In thisbyrinth, there was nothing wrong with being there, as you might feel the need someday. Satisfied with that, I felt a presence at the entrance to the boss room. You did it brilliantly. All of the traps had been cleared before I knew it, and the team members were gathered. Actually, if this is enough, isnt it that most of the abilities havent been initialized? Kim Seung-hoon nced at me, put on a bewildered expression, and said so. Not really. My stats have all been reset. It cannot be said that everything has been initialized at the time of maintaining the Power skill, but all stats have been initialized. Of course, even that was necromancy, but now it has raised its abilities quite a bit. Yes, I was stupid for worrying about you. There is no more useless worry in the world than worrying about you. Katherine Bets voice was hollow, as if she didnt care anymore. What did I say? Seong-yoon said he would take care of everything. You should have known when you avoided all the traps. Oh Chun-seok responded to Catherine Bets words as if he was happy now, and smiled. I felt annoyed to have this attention again, so I immediately changed the topic. Well, it worked out anyway, so its okay. and. I just got this too. Could that be!? Whatever you think is right. Huh. At this point, Seongyoon-ssi feels like an all-rounder Listening to Oh Chun-seoks bewildered voice, I smiled a little. I can get out of the first floor. Now its time to descend thebyrinth. *** Surprisingly, navigating the maze itself was not that difficult. Is it because the main event itself on the first floor is to defeat the corrupted Goblin King? Although it was difficult to find a route to disarm the trap device, it was quick to find the exit to the maze. Knock-! The [Maze Escape Key] is used when you reach the end of the [Maze of Beginnings] on the first floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth. Its automatically used when you reach the end of the maze The ck key that he really held in his hand turned into particles of light and disappeared, and the stone gate opened immediately. You are eligible to go down the first floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [Maze of Beginnings], so you will receive a reward. You can restore one ability by selecting one of [Item, Authority, and Skill]. Ability restoration Ha, I really thought this would be so nice I can finally get my skills back. A little bit of stuffiness will go away. Seunghun hyung is like that. ugh I wont be able to use magic properly if I cant link skills. In addition, when they were able to regain their abilities, all the members of the team focused on restoring their abilities. It was worth it. I wont be able to pass through without fighting like this on the next floor, so the ability to get it back is important. And the fact that he wasnt helpful as a team member must have made him focus on restoring his abilities. It doesnt matter how strong your teammates are anyway, but Until thepetition between the challengers started, I still hoped that they would have some ability. It took a while for him to pray for hisrades to be stronger. Now I have to choose a reward too. Soon, I pressed one of the options written in the system message You have selected [Authority] among [Items, Powers, Skills]. Choose what you want to recover from among the sealed powers. Then I went down the selection window and picked the one I wanted and got it back. The authority Blood Thousand Deep Gong is released from the seal. There was nothing special about why I chose this. Because this one has the best value for money. Its important to form a bit of a magic circuit with the blood celestial hole, but It was also necessary to substitute something like a seeker of fresh blood or gray blood in connection with the Blood Demon Sacred Art. Its better to use the minor version of the skill with Bloodthirsty Deep Gong than to retrieve the Seeker of Fresh Blood or the Gray Blood. Beyond killing two birds with one stone, it is a power that is cost effective enough to be called three killings with one stone. Feeling satisfied with that, soon all the members of the team finished their selection Then lets go downstairs now. I immediately went downstairs instead of wasting time in trivial conversation. In order to reach the deepest part faster than anyone else, he had to move efficiently. and. You have entered the Giant Tree Labyrinth 2nd floor [Evil Gods Whisper]. This is a ce where challengers of the same dimension who entered the giant treebyrinth gather. The evil spirit expects to throw a bloody feast on these challengers. Anyone is fine, so kill at least one challenger, go through the ritual, and offer it as a sacrifice. However, if you deceive the evil spirit by not offering anything, an [Ancient Devil] will appear. As soon as I entered the cavity where the bloody mist flowed, my eyes lit up. It wasnt because Earth-level challengers were gathering here. An ancient demon appears? He paid attention to the warning that an [ancient demon] would appear if no one offered it as a sacrifice. ancient devil. I dont know what it is, but at first nce it seems like a very strong name. Undoubtedly, the spirit of an ancient demon will quickly make me stronger. so. Does the ancient devil appear only when he deceives the evil spirit It seemed that he could get more rewards than he could have imagined in thisyer. Theres nothing I cant do. And with a very good reward. Chapter 170 170. Lunatic difficulty (4) Originally, rewards increase as much as you take risks. However, if you deceive the evil spirits by not offering any sacrifices, [ancient demons] will appear. Therefore, as soon as I saw the warning text, I was able to draw conclusions immediately. I have to make the ancient devil appear. I will catch the ancient demons in thisyer and raise my stats faster than anyone else. In case of failure, you will lose a lot of money, but in case of sess, you will see a lot of benefits . But The question is whether the team members will allow the ancient demons to appear. The real question is whether the team and the challengers flocking to the hierarchy will tolerate it. That was the biggest concern, but surprisingly, the former problem was easily resolved. That would be the case Do whatever you want. Katherine Bet, the team leader, gave her permission with a grin. That too, with an immediate answer without the slightest hesitation. Arent you curious about why you want to do that? I felt a little ufortable with him, so I immediately knew why he allowed it. There is nothing you can do about it anyway. You say you will, but who will stop you? It was only then that I realized that there was resignation in her soft smile. . For some reason, I thought that karma might havee back like a boomerang. Since he had acted as he wanted to, he had now epted the practice of entricity. I heard that too. Those who have the power to take responsibility say they will, but there is nothing they can do about it. Even Kim Seung-hun agreed with a shrug as if he had nothing else to say. Well, given Sungyoons personality anyway, I dont think he will stop even if he stops I have no intention of opposing it either. Oh Chun-seok had the attitude ofpletely entrusting everything to me, saying that it would be as it should be. For some reason, I felt like they were pushing me recklessly, so I noticed a little bit Anyway, there doesnt seem to be any disagreement, so Ill do what I want. Isnt it irreversible anyway? I will upy the altar from now on until the ancient demon appears. Kim seemed to be able to be a little more shameless. Please explore the cavity until the ancient demon appears. Thinking that strengthening the party is the first priority, I rmended searching. Like a maze on the first floor, this cavity had roads leading somewhere. Considering that even on the first floor there was a hidden gods altar or something, it would be possible to benefit from somewhere in thismon area. So For now, you have to get your strength back to the fullest. It was my intention that I would handle all the battles up to this level. Would you mind doing that? Its good for us, but youre only losing money in the meantime, right? It doesnt matter. Because I got a lot of power back as a reward for passing through the hierarchy. Did you get a special reward or something? I only recovered one power as a reward for passing through the hierarchy? I only recovered one power. I didnt get any morepensation either. Its just But with that alone, most challengers will no longer be my enemies. This is because you can use a number of minor version skills with the Blood Heaven Deep Gong restored while passing through the first floor. It may not be as crazy as the Seeker of Blood or the Gray Blood, but The Blood Heaven Deep Gong, which shows an output that stays below it, gave me a lot of strength. Should I say that I think I can easily deal with about 10 challengers? In fact, the abilities that became avable with this authority were suitable for melee, so it was better if the number of opponents increased. It might get nasty, but you wont lose the battle. I can see that staying with you wont help you anyway. At that, Catherine Bet nodded her head with a calm face, and immediately took action. I will be back with good results, so please wait until then. She led her teammates to choose one of themon paths and entered it After confirming that the group was out of sight, I nced around and walked slowly to the altar. Didnt everyone get out of the 1st floor yet? There was no sign of poprity on the stairs leading to the upper floors. Well, the 1st floor itself, befitting its name [Maze of Beginnings], had a lot of annoying gadgets, so it was understandable. It would be impossible to abandon the correct route and go to the boss room like I did in the first ce. If I hadnt learned martial arts and maintained power skills, I wouldnt have been any different. Of course, this logic doesnt work for me, so I immediately put my thoughts together and sat down on a podium decorated with red cloth. It was advantageous to hold on to this spot so that no one could offer sacrifices. Labyrinth Achievement Sacrilege (Common) has been achieved. Labyrinth score +1 point obtained. What is thebyrinth score? Thoughts lead like lightning to the mysterious score that has no mention of where it can be used. The giant treebyrinth was basically a different ce from the tower, but at the same time had a simr system. In other words Could it be thatbyrinth points are points used in the tower? Thisbyrinth score will be avable at some point, like the concept of points in a tower. In the tower, points could only be used inside the waiting room, so it might be used simrly in the giant treebyrinth. Like the tower, someday there might be a section where I can use thisbyrinth score. It was expected in many ways. What on earth can you buy withbyrinth points in this giantbyrinth? And it was expected how far he could be stronger through it. Until then, Ill have to collectbyrinth points as much as possible. Of course, earning points is not easy as you have to achieve special achievements in thebyrinth A new team of challengers has entered the giant treebyrinth 2nd floor [Whisper of the Evil God]. It seemed like there was no need to worry about what to do. Conditions satisfied. When two or more challenger teams gather,yer-specific penalties begin to operate. If no sacrifice is made for the remaining time < 04:59:59 >, [Ancient Demon] will appear. Even if you dont Youre lucky. Just in time, a good opponent to get achievements appeared. *** The newly arrived Challengers team is strangely well-equipped. Its amazing. To be honest, the longsword Im holding right now is neither an item nor anything, but All of the things they have boasted an appearance that would beparable to being called an item. It waspletely different from the weapons hung in the stone chamber, which was the starting point, so they must have been obtained through farming. Even the bnce between the challengers, not just the items, was appropriate. Warriors, archers,ncers, and wizards. From an offensive or defensive perspective, there was no ce to find fault. Its just I never thought there would be an asshole alone in a ce like this. If overconfidence was a problem, it could be said that it was a problem. Are you going to eat this whole ordeal raw? A man holding a tower shield that reached his waist sent a tant gaze with a sneer on him. intent to kill. As soon as he understood the contents of the ordeal through the system message, he thought of killing me. It was a bit absurd. Isnt it worth thinking about if its enough to wait here in advance? Even while I narrowed my eyes at him, these challengers were talking nonsense with each other. Carls. Do not be on your guard. It might be that there are colleagues hiding around. hot! Dont see that item level? Arent you a bastard who didnt even get an item from the first floor! Right now, Carls-nim is right. Even with the presence detection skill, I cant feel presence. Right, right~. Whats more, that person doesnt feel the magic circuit. Im sure hes crazy. The conversation ended with the archer, followed by the warrior, then the wizard, and finally the spearman. Still, there was a reason. Based on what the spearman said, I could understand why they were ignoring me. horsepower circuit. The fact that I did not have skills that were considered very essential for a Hunter was lowering my value. Its not that I havent thought about reforming the magic circuit, but Ive been putting it off because its not efficient until now. Of course, as of now that he had obtained the Blood Heaven Heart Gong, it was possible to break through the magic circuit at any time. Because activating this authority itself is forcibly forming a magic circuit. Its funny. I couldnt help but smile at him, and soon the man called Carls eyebrows twitched. What is this damn bastardughing at unluckily? just. what? I said I justughed. under! Isnt this aplete asshole? I didnt answer at length. so. Just Do you have anyints? It was enough to raise the corner of his mouth as he said that. A red aura emanated from Cals eyes, and soon his face was distorted . Cals roared at his colleagues in such excitement that he wondered if it could be this easy. All of you, dont interfere. Its enough for me to cover those unlucky eyes. Did the nerve-racking mockery affect his mood? Its just a worm that couldnt even restore its magic circuit. I can take care of it myself. He started toe towards me with a band of blood on his forehead, and his teammates backed away. They all dont seem to think Im going to win. It was worth it. From what they see, Im nothing more than a piece of trash that cant even learn magic circuits. But it was a huge misunderstanding. I can learn magic circuits at any time. The authority skill Heolcheon Deep Gong is strongly activated. Uuuuuuu! At the same time that the blood cheonsimgong is activated, the magic power in the body is reced with fraudulent energy. The mana umted in the Danden like a precipitate began to boil with a violent temper. But I hid it as best I could. I dont need to tell you. Even though a man named Calth told me not to meddle, perhaps my colleagues would join the battle if it became dangerous. Because toys are easy enough, they can be recognized as toys. Search! So, the time to expose the ws was fixed. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The world slows down a bit I can clearly see the movement of Carls kicking off the ground and running like a beast. In addition, even where the double-edged ax is aiming. The double-edged ax had a reddish glow, perhaps due to the exclusive effect of the item, but it didnt matter much. I raised my longsword and sent the magical energy in my body that was on the verge of runaway to the designated path. And Certainly, I was able to quickly open the magic circuit this way. The magic circuit began to wake up quickly as if it waspensation for the dy in constructing the magic circuit. To be precise It was forced to awaken with a repulsive nature, unable to withstand the destructive energy of the Blood Heaven Deep Gong that invaded Kihyeol. The qi and blood in the body have been seriously damaged. The circuit is awakened due to the fraud that permeates the qi and blood. The skill Magical Circuit (D+) is learned. Next, I saw the system message . I gave strength to the sword, feeling pleasure rather than pain. The skill Focus on Strike is activated. The precision and destructive power of the technique used for the next blow increases. The energy and blood all over my body were torn and I felt intense pain, but that didnt matter anymore. Having a magic circuit means that now you can put magic into your sword. Chee-in! Labyrinth Achievement Labyrinth First Sword Skill Awakening (Unique) has been achieved. Labyrinth score +15 points obtained. Authority Sword Weapon Merchant (C+) is created. It had nothing to do with being able to use it. The authority Sword Merchant is activated.] The sword, imbued with magical energy like the moonlight, moves as quickly as a snakes tongue What! Then, it easily split the de of the double-edged ax neatly and then bit Carls neck. Im sorry-! In that moment, Carls head flies into the air, and then the head falls to the ground. Tuwook! [Critical blow!] [Challenger Carls Kelly consumes all of his HP and is banished back to his original world.] After that, the challenger named Carls immediately died and disappeared wrapped in light. It seems that he was expelled from thebyrinth after consuming all of his [HP] . [HP] decreases by 10 due to damage to the bodys magic circuit. If I remain at ease like this, I will also be expelled from thebyrinth along with a man named Cals. I quietly raised my hand and wiped the blood from my eyes. Looking at the faces that seemed to still not understand what the situation was, he opened his mouth. What are you staring at so intently? And Please dont waste your time unnecessarily. Then, without hiding it from his whole body, he radiates red energy at once and smiles. That way we can finish each others business quickly. A shadow of despair was engraved on the faces of the enemies. Chapter 171 171. eleration (1) The silence stained with despairsted only for a moment. Gary Rick. shit! Was the damn bastard hiding his powers! Everyone, prepare for battle! As the man who appeared to be an archer shouted and pointed his bow at me, the situation changedpletely. Hearing his exmation, the mage quickly backed away and began to lick her lips, and the spearman assumed the vanguard in ce of the dead warrior. At that, I clicked my tongue inwardly. Still, they were challengers with the basics. I thought I would be able to finish off the frightened challengers like this . The recoil caused by learning the magic circuit hadnt gone away yet, but it was hard to rx. It cant be helped. Originally, I didnt intend to put so much effort into it, but The power of Heolcheon Shimgong is strongly activated. It seemed like it was time to see some of the virtues of martial arts. After consuming even the divine power to strengthen the Blood Demon Spirit Gong, I quickly used a partial Blood Demon Spirit Gong. Even though I didnt know the properposition, I remembered the senses clearly, so it wasnt difficult to use. Chiyi! Red steam rose from my body like a haze, and I felt the pain subside a little. The wound didnt heal right away like the gray blood, but it seemed that the body had been restored to some extent. But This isnt enough. Still feeling myck of strength, I turned my eyes to the blood that fell around me. The blood shed at the moment Challenger Cals died formed a small puddle. Srrr! Without hesitation, I absorbed the blood with my fingertips and immediately converted it into physical strength. Of course, this one didnt show extremely good performance like the Seeker of Blood. Even after this, the feeling of exhaustion is not erased If I had changed my stamina as a blood seeker, the fatigue would have disappeared a long time ago. As soon as I realized the status of the gray blood and the seeker of the blood, bitterness came over me. As expected, blood demon magic is not a technique that can be used as a mainstream except for blood substitution. Compared to the gray blood or the seeker of the blood, the blood demon god was no different from the hemostasis. Well, in the first ce, being able to regenerate the body immediately or absorb blood to replenish physical strength would be a very rare skill in itself, but that is the Moorim peoples point of view. The skills obtained from the tower were so powerful that even the rare skill called Blood Demon Artifact was regarded as a low-efficiency skill and was not used. But the feeling of regret did notst long. Wedge liquid! The arrow shot from the archer awakened my contemtive consciousness. He immediately swung his sword and seeded in hitting the arrow without difficulty. However, before he could straighten his posture, a female challenger who appeared to be a spearman struck out. Shih! Its fast. The window was bizarrely fast, as if he had obtained a good skill on the first floor. Even with the stats he had raised through Necromancy and even the Bloodthirsty Deep Gong, he couldnt easily keep up with his attack speed It was extremely annoying. Even because of the advantage of a weapon called a spear, it is difficult to narrow the distance easily, and it leads to death immediately after being hit because there is no means of defense. Of course, if you put in the time, it wont be difficult to defeat the spearman. However, the problem is the presence of a wizard reciting a spell in the rear. She pursed her lips in concentration, and the meaning was very simple. It means that as soon as the chant is finished, magic-type skills will fly. It would be a very tricky magic as much as he had concentrated his mind on it, but In fact, as long as he could defeat the spearman, it was possible to deal with just about any wizard. Therefore, after concentrating my mind, I stabbed the sword at once as if I was setting fire to the shooting spear. Do something stupid! At that, the spearman put on a fishyugh and immediately rotated the spear as if kicking it out, trying to bounce the sword away. I had no intention of denying that it was something stupid. Like she said, I chose the worst hand as a swordsman. However, that is called the worst for a swordsman with normal skills. Device Geek! There was no need to graft the martial arts seen in the library of the lightsaber. At this level, its enough to use simple reasoning without having to use martial arts. The rotation of the spearhead, which was trying to kick off a rough attack, was gently wrapped around it as if it were flowing with a sword. In the first ce, with the intention of kicking off the attack, I roughly rotated the spearhead outward . If you do this, even if you rotate the spear outwards, it will be useless. ridicule soon turns to astonishment. The smile that appeared on the spearmans lips disappeared immediately, and her eyes filled with amazement. I couldnt talk like before, but I could understand the emotion that was buried in her gaze. What you did is the face. Well, as a spearman, it seems to have put a lot of effort into it, but to be honest, it was misceneous. Although I hadnt formally learned martial arts, I bumped into a challenger from the Moorim dimension a few times. So it didnt even feel like a special skill to me. Its just a level of deepening the basics and dismissing it as an applied level. Ive seen it so far, how can I not do something like this? In fact, among the Moorim Dimension challengers, the weakest would be this woman. Therefore, without any inspiration, I pushed the de straight in and Chow! Subsequently, bloody solid lines were drawn diagonally across the spearmans upper body, and blood spurted splendidly. Critical blow! Challenger Rieka Inaba consumes all of her HP and is banished back to her original world. Watching Inaba Rieka disappear as a particle of light, I quickly drew my sword. This is the end of the spearman And I can finish now. He quickly manipted therge amount of blood left by Rieka Inaba and ejected it like a sh. Boooooong! It was slower than I thought since it wasnt a blow using the Seeker of the Blood, but Kk Chloe! Its a ranged attack! I have to avoid! The wizard, who was so focused on casting the spell, wasnt able to react right away. uh? Kwajijik! Critical blow! Challenger Chloe Ribery consumes all of her HP and is banished back to her original world. The sorceress called Chloe noticed the attack btedly just before she was hit. Soon after, blood poured out to a serious extent, and likewise it disappeared as particles of light. The archer who saw that hesitated in fear, but he had no time. Tsuaaa! Ouch! Immediately after turning the blood spilled from Chloe into a de and shooting it at the archer, she copsed with a scream. [Critical blow!] [Challenger Eric Anelka consumes all of his HP and is exiled to his original world.] The battle is finally over. Labyrinth achievement Unique achieved. Labyrinth score +15 points obtained. The skill Charisma (C+) is created. Corpses disappear with particles of light, creating a sense of reality. It fell somewhat, but anyway, the enemies are now gone. And I thought all of my equipment would disappear, but surprisingly it wasnt like that. As if it were a bonus, the items worn by the challengers were falling around. It was probably because the items obtained in thebyrinth could not be taken with them when they were expelled, but I didnt know for sure. I didnt even want to know. I immediately retrieved the loot that fell on the floor and picked out useful ones, but among them, only one E-ss longsword was suitable for me. Thats nothing to see except for the +7% attack speed option. If I had steel eating, I could have grinded it all out I felt a great regret at that. Other than the longsword, there were some items with a fairly high grade, but I couldnt use them, so it felt like a gag. But it wasnt that there was no way to dispose of it at all. That should be the case too The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect, Offering, is activated. You can offer your [Talent] [Ability] [Treasure] to the gods. Because I still have the seal of offering. Its a waste of useless things, but it was a thought to rece them right away. I chose to offer [treasure] to the god. Please designate the [treasure] to offer to the god as desired. Chloera designated all items as offerings except for the items used by the wizard. Except for these, the rest were items that no one in the team had to use. Received 4 items from herself. Reces the corresponding items with divine power and umtes them in the heart. Divinity itself has not umted that much, but It was meaningful in that it supplemented the divine power even a little. After sitting on the altar and resting for a while, a system message suddenly came into view. Its nothing else A new challengers team has entered the giant treebyrinth 2nd floor [Evil Gods Whisper]. A new challengers team has appeared. A new team of challengers has entered the giant treebyrinth 2nd floor [whispers of evil spirits ] Like two at a time. I had just finished the battle, but another challenger appeared I couldnt figure out whether to call this lucky or bad. But one thing was certain. I have to kill all the hostile challengers. That no mercy would be bestowed on those who showed hostility to me. I smiled coldly as I held the newly obtained longsword tightly in my hand. *** Devil. It was an existence that harmed people for no reason. Just treating people like bugs and ying with them. That was the characteristic of demonic beings. A very arrogant ident that regards them as bugs that can be killed at any time symbolizes the devil. And among the demons, there were also those who were chosen by the evil gods because they specialized in ughter. From the beginning, the devil who was born with a huge racial value to the extent that he could regard other races as bugs would raise his rank. At this time, the devil who was chosen by the evil god and raised his rank over a long period of time is called this. Time End. Ancient Devil. For the rest of the time, no one offered sacrifices. [Ancient demon] is summoned from the altar as a ss-specific penalty. An overwhelming presence appeared above the altar where the red mist was flowing. With a shape that looked like a shadow, and even goat-like horns on its head The being, like something terrible that flowed from the abyss, raised the corners of its mouth like a crescent moon and gave a goosebumpsugh. Khehehe! Its been a while in the world where insects live! A voice like metal that fills with despair just by hearing it. A fearful being shouted as if the only one who could resist was the hero chosen by the gods. Ha ha ha! Did the foolish worms deceive the evil god! This Kanizel-sama will judge everything! However, the call did not continue until the end. It was worth it. Ouch! arm arm! my please! healer! No healer!? Even potions are good, so treat them! Aww! Ancient Devil! what are you looking at! Kill that goddamn monster bastard! Please save me! I will cooperate with you! So please have mercy! Because the inside of the cavity was already a mess before the appearance of the ancient demon. Someone even made an angry noise at Canizel, as if they feared something else more than the ancient devil. Judge the sim Ill Carnizl couldnt raise his voice any longer. What is a devil? It is a very heinous existence that makes fun of and kills people. However, in that category, the human in Kanizls eyes was no different from the devil. I heard its an ancient demon, but it sure looks strong. Far from being scared, from a human holding a bloody sword and smiling It was worth the wait. It felt like a predator looking at Canizle like a bug. And he soon realized. That the young man, whom he thought of as an insignificant human being, felt divinity. In addition, the fact that the weight of the divinity is a powerful kind like the evil god he serves. Ummm Kanizl was speechless, rolling her eyes here and there and breaking out in a cold sweat. Hey And then. Im sorry, great being, but An emotion lingered on the face of Kanizl, who was always feared for being an ancient demon. It is Would it be all right if I went back for a while? It was horror. Chapter 172 Episode 172, eleration (2) An ancient demon. The existence that was created by not offering sacrifices revealed overwhelming power. Its a sess. I had summoned the ancient demon as nned, and I smiled softly, feeling a sense of aplishment. Well, if there was a w, it would have been that the ancient demon appeared in a situation where all the challengers had not been sorted out, but I didnt have to worry too much about that either. Quaaaaa! Its like this dog ! They really all look like crap! Puhh! Yes, lets all die together! Death is cheap if you can make that demonic bastard yourpanion! Huh hahaha! its over! Its all over! Im going to die like this! Because no one has enough energy left to stand against me. I looked at the ancient demon and examined its form. . Not to mention the appearance of adding dark and shady things in this world like rags . Its strong. Perhaps it was thebyrinths intention to prevent anyone from surviving, so I nodded my head. Certainly, if something like this appears as an enemy, we might all die. Even if all the challengers in this ce join forces, they are strong enemies who will face death like insects. But Myth < Vampire Exorcist > is activated. Divine attack has the effect of < Cannot Regenerate > Divine attack has the effect of < Exorcism >. Ancient demons are hopeless opponents for normal challengers. To be honest, I felt like I could manage to get hold of it. I never thought this myth would be so helpful. The myth of < Vampire Exorcist >, which gives the effect of non-regeneration and exorcism, was activated, and divinity pervaded the body. Is this also an ability that resides in exorcism? I did not back down against the ancient demon. All stats increase by +20 due to the mythic < Vampire Exorcist >. While dealing with the ancient demon, all divine attacks are greatly enhanced. The formless energy disappeared in an instant, and instead, vitality surged. In addition to the increase in statsparable to < The Warrior of Reversal >, the divinity fluctuates wildly. I didnt know that my strength would increase to this extent, so I couldnt help but smile on my lips At this point, I cant lose even if I try to lose. I looked at the ancient demon with the momentum to swing my sword straight away and tried to activate the power skill. But Excuse me, Great One above Suddenly, a trembling voice came from an ancient demon. what? The tone ispletely different from the one before, when he said he would judge everything. It was as if the ancient demon was terrified of me. Is it okay if I just go back and look? no. It wasnt to the point where I felt frightened anymore. Truly, this ancient demon was watching me in a frightened and servile manner. Then I started to shine my eyes at the idea that passed through my head. He should be like that too Maybe I can use this as an opportunity? Because he figured out how to use this servile, ancient demon. Did I ask if I could go back? Soon I looked at the ancient demon with a grin. Can you allow me to go back? And Only in exchange for epting the deal. He opened his eyes narrowly and continued, examining the ancient demon closely from head to toe. Prove in good faith whether its worth sending it back to where it came from. Do you like it? Oh no! Hahaha! so good! As expected of a great being, he is wise! Looking at the ancient devil with a forced smile on his hard face, I smiled. Now that I live, therees a day when I catch a hukou against the devil. I was excited to see how much I could get against the ancient demons. *** The ancient demon was surprisingly obedient and epted the half-threatening deal. Without even looking at the liver, he thrust in a mask shimmering with a strange light This is the greatest treasure I can give you! In response, I immediately read the exnation window, looking at what the mask was in the hands of the ancient devil. Mask of Despair Grade: B+ Shock Absorption +10% Power Efficiency +10% A mask made by one of the ancient demons by smelting ghosts as a pastime. As you start, you will suffer from the evil thoughts of the ghosts. When you kill a life, the ghosts umte and the [Shock Absorption] and [Power Efficiency] values increase. At first nce, its just a mask thats just unlucky Looking at the abilities attached to this mask, I was intrigued. It was worth it. To be honest, something like shock absorption is good, but the increase in power efficiency is not a figure that can be easily obtained. Even increased shock absorption and power efficiency could have increased that number. In other words, it means that it is a pseudo-growth item that increases the ability of the equipment itself to some extent even if the grade does not go up Then, lets choose this one. There was no need to look at this and that and reject it. I immediately took the mask from the hand of the ancient demon and put it on my face. Wearing the Mask of Despair (B+) will slowly start to pollute your mind. From now on, every time you fall asleep, the ghosts pour down curses on you. Ominous phrases came to mind, but I didnt care too much. You have a strong mind. Your mind is not polluted by the Mask of Despair (B+). The ghosts get scared of you and start to hide their existence Oh, you look so good together! ha ha ha! Its so cool that even the Grand Duke of Hell will be surprised! Do you think it suits you that well? yes! Sure! Even the ancient demons who forged this mask will love it! The ancient devil was trembling at me with the momentum of rubbing his palms. He changes his attitude very quickly. Did divinity ever feel so dangerous? I smiled wryly at the sight of an ancient demon with not the slightest hint of pride. He had no intention of keeping his promise anyway, but toe out so servile Now he felt sorry for him. Of course, that sympathy vanished in an instant before even a few seconds had passed. Well, its funny to sympathize with an enemy who appeared with the intention of killing me in the first ce. At that moment, he was contemting whether to surprise the ancient demon with his sword. Hey therebut theres one more thing Id like to suggest Suddenly an ancient demon spoke to me in a creeping voice. proposal? Ah yes! That Im actually a servant of the evil god, so Im afraid to go back like this . The ancient devils offer was more like permission than help. The challengers who are groaning under the current altar should be able to cut enough from the ancient demon ship without me. It must have been that he didnt want to go against his heart when he bothered to ask me to deal with it. In addition, it could be a request stemming from the desire to get out of here quickly while entrusting me with cleanup. After staring at the ancient demon for a moment, I opened my mouth. So, if I help out there, what reward will I get? Bo reward? I already gave you the mask of despair That is that and this is this. additionalpensation. Without it, I would not be able to ept your offer. At that, the ancient devil looked at me with his mouth shut. Look at this? His eyes were filled with even the slightest bit of contempt but with a click! That disrespectful feeling disappeared like snow as soon as he quietly took the longsword out of the scabbard. Ah ha ha ha! yes Yes! Extra Rewards! Ah yes! I forgot about it! The ancient devil immediately forced a smile and took out a new item. Then how can I get an extra reward with this? It was a mysterious longsword whose de was subtly wrapped in silver. [New Moon Sword] [Grade: C+] [Attack Speed +15%] [Moonlight Sword refined over several years with the moonlight from the New Moon. It is created in and all the users stats increase by +1. In addition, a buff that increases magic power by +1 is given to those whom the user considers to be allies within reach of the moonlight. Oh. A better item appeared than expected. It uses [MP], a special function in thebyrinth, to increase all the users stats by +1 For those who consider them allies, an item that can increase magic power by +1, even within the reach of the moonlight, could not be good. . Then, Ill receive an additional reward with this. Thinking that I had finally found a useful weapon, I happily epted the new moon sword. What a great being! Can we put these humans together now? Only then did the ancient devil say that with anticipation As you please. When he gave a rough answer, the ancient devil showed his teeth and smiled. Then I will enjoy it without hesitation. It is You worm-like humans, the time of judgment hase again! It was like looking at a real insect. I dont want to die! please! I will cooperate with you, so please give me a chance to survive! A devilish bastard called a real devil hehehehe. Theres no hope now Damn it! Youve gone as far as I can go! One day you will pay for your deal with the devil! The surroundings began to fill with despair again. It was worth it. They had lost their will to fight before and couldnt even move, so there was no way they could fight. okay! This is human! Cry some more! ha ha ha! The ancient demon smiled like a crescent moon as if enjoying the situation itself. And [The authority Sword Merchant is activated.] At that moment, a blue light shed like a sh and severely shed the ancient demons back. Chow! Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Purple blood sttered promiscuously, and a terrible scream was heard. I think I misunderstood Then the eyes of the ancient demon turned to me behind the scenes I didnt even say I would spare you. I continued with a refreshing smile. Oh, Ill keep the word that Ill let you go back. next moment. If I die anyway, I can go to the side of the evil god I love so much, right? A voice filled with rage came from an ancient demon. This! dog-! A child-! Ill tear you apart and kill you! It was a cry of satisfaction. Chapter 173 173. eleration (3) Crackle! I will definitely kill you in the name of this Kanizel!! The form of an ancient demon swells to a monstrous degree. The sound of twisting muscles and the darkness enveloping the ancient demons, causing ferocity. In terms of level, should I say that he is the weakest among the prospective apostles? It was not an opponent that woulde out near the entrance of thebyrinth. That would be the case too Its an enemy set to a level that cant be cleared openly. With a body whose stats are less than 100, it will explode as soon as it touches the hand of an ancient demon. Of course, with the < Vampire Exorcist > mythology, all my stats have increased by +20, but To be honest, even this was not enough. I need to raise my stats a bit more. I immediately injected magical energy into the sword of the moon in my hand. Cheering! As a new moon sword (C+) exclusive effect, all of the users stats increase by +1. The clear sound of small bells echoes, and at the same time, a little bit of strength is added to the body. By using an item dedicated to thebyrinth, 10 [MP] is consumed every minute. However, the reality is that even this small amount of power cannot be used with ease. With the [MP] I have, the time I can use the new moon sword is about 3 minutes At least, I was sure that a long-term battle would be impossible. Without this small stat increase from the new moon sword, the odds of winning would drop significantly. Even this is not the only problem. [HP] is not enough. [HP], which had been consumed as a result of the twisting of blood before, was not filled up even though the body was restored. In other words, it must mean that recovering [HP] is different from recovering the body This was the biggest problem. [HP] is a number that proves your qualifications to stay in thebyrinth. But what if you lose all those numbers? Even if Im injured enough to not die, if [HP] damage umtes, Ill be expelled from thebyrinth. As we have seen before, I will be reduced to particles of light, saying that I will be a food of the world tree. It was a situation that had to be stopped. Its really ridiculously out of bnce Its not enough to instantly die just enough to brush your fingernails, so even if you dont die, youre expelled from thebyrinth? I put a faint smile on my lips at the viciousness that matched the Lunatic difficulty level. Its a fucking difficulty that doesnt allow even the slightest mistake Thats why its more fun. Rather, it felt like a stage where I could measure how much I had grown since I was at such a disadvantage. So I couldnt help butugh out loud. What are youughing at? bloke! Ill burst it just like the other bugs! Of course, to an ancient demon, myughter seemed to be of a rather irritating kind. Well, it wasnt something I had to worry about, so I immediately turned my whole body into magical powers and strongly activated the blood hole. Ill have to write everything I can. Kugugu-! Red steam rose from her body, and her vision was dyed red as if a red filter had been applied. It was proof that he had operated the blood drill to the limit. In the magic circuit, a bloody aura that was iparable to each other was moving in ce of magic. The divine power dwelling in his heart strengthened the < Vampire Exorcist > and shook his body like a raging wave. But its not power yet. The authority Heolcheon Deep Gong is strongly activated. As the divine power reached A- rank, the power enhancement ability enhanced the Blood Heaven Deep Gong in a form close to evolution. And Write ha ha. Unable to cope with the boiling water, a red mist flowed out of his mouth like a kettle spouting steam. The preparations are nowplete. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. Right away, with the Concentration on Combat activated, I strongly drew out my will slowly! Then, arge amount of blood spread around me floated in the air in droplets, and then welled up at me. To be precise, it was concentrated on the sword of the new moon that I was holding. Now, the blue sword was dyed red. Shall we say that it is an imitation of < Enhanced Blood >, one of the skills inherent in the Blood Demon Sword? Of course, its not a very efficient technique but thats under the premise that it will be used in this state. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill Soul Source Magic Sword , Double is activated. Consumes holy power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [4] times. nestled moment. Kwaaang-! The blood-soaked swordshed out like a whip. *** Kanizl was an elite among ancient demons. Compared to other demons, he was born with more demonic energy. Thanks to that, he was favored even by the evil spirits, and he had no doubt that one day he would earn a status close to that of a reserve apostle. But Crazy monster bastard!! Now he was feeling the danger of death for the human he had regarded as a bug all his life. That would be the case How can that be a human! This is because the humans he currently has as enemies are humans who have given up on being human. Han Seong-yoon, whoughed silently and wielded a blood-red de like a whip, felt like a monster to Kanizl. Most of the humans hed seen didnt fight so horribly. Few remained sane and fought against an ancient demon that could be killed in an instant. It wasnt that he had such a lofty belief or sincere belief that he was able to control his mind like that. Crazy man! Im enjoying it! This situation itself! Canizel felt a chill. The intense divinity that isparable to the evil spirit is also divinity But there was a bar that I realized while fighting directly like this. Han Seong-yoon had the power to kill Carnizle even if he didnt have divinity. Kagagak! The bloody ck air that stretched like a whip felt like a line of death. Even Canizel couldnt help breaking out in a cold sweat at that power that tore the space inside thebyrinth like paper. If he gets hit even once by the blood-red sword, a series of blows will fly right in and tear his body apart. If there is hope in this situation, it is that Han Seong-yoons power is not infinite. And One! You just need to get one right! Even that crazy person cant escape thew of thebyrinth! Han Seong-yoon is a challenger who is still at the beginning of thebyrinth, so he is not very strong physically. Relying on that hope, Carnizl pushed himself like a whip and increased his attack speed. Lets go!! Carnizzles ws were lengthened by the darkness and whipped around like a storm. But Damn it! why! Why cant the attack reach me! His blow did not reach Han Seong-yoon and scattered to the wrong ce. Quaaaaagh! Oh, the devil is going crazy! I must all run away! Dont be a wizard! No wizards!? Even with a shield! Kheukheouk! You have to get as far away from them as possible! If you stay by my side, everyone gets caught up in it! Challengers gathered in the cavity suffered damage such as being killed or injured. Shall we say that a shrimps back explodes in a whale fight? However, it was a situation that angered Canizel to the point where his blood gushed backwards. It was worth it. The authority Blood Chun Deep Gong is strongly activated.] For Han Seong-yoon, the challengers blood is the fuel for recovery. Han Seong-yoon, who immediately absorbed the blood from the challengers, began to wield bloody swords more violently than before. Seeing that scene, Kanizl felt despair. Demon god He wondered if he could be called an ancient devil now. A human being unlike that human was more suited to evil than anyone else. In order not to lose his faithfulness, Kanizel thought while quietly reciting a prayer. Boo, please, give me the courage to go through this hardship Only then . *** Labyrinth achievement Incarnation of Evil (Unique) has been achieved. Labyrinth score +15 points obtained. Skill Manmaji (B-) is created. During battle, the achievement suddenly appears . Achieved. what? Manmaji King (fħ֮). I even got an unknown skill called the king of all demons but I didnt have time to think deeply about what this was. Whoa! It was because of the strong wind that caused Carnizles shadow-like nails to grow long. The skin was torn by the sharp wind. It consumes [HP] by 10. This was a very big problem. I never thought Id lose [HP] even if the wind brushed my skin So far, even though Ive never been hit by Carnizzles attacks, Ive lost nearly half of my [HP]. cause? Simple. The wind caused by Carnizzle slightly tore the skin, and the [HP] damage judgment came out. Of course, he exploited the blood from the challengers with the blood drill and instantly regenerated the wounds. Body regeneration does not lead to recovery of [HP], so the [HP] that disappeared did not return. . Perhaps because they knew that Kanizl would die if hit, no matter how much he wielded the bloody de, he wouldnt hit him If this happens, Ill fall first. Even [HP] wasnt the only thing that disappeared. There is no [MP] left to use thebyrinth -only item. In addition, less than half of the divine power remaining in the heart is now left. Now was the time to take drastic measures. I swung a bloody de to keep the ancient demon in check, and soon I focused my mind. And soon, I contemted the inside of the body. In general, I came up with a clear enough picture to draw a picture outside of the level of feeling the flow of magical power and the upheaval of the divine. At that, I drool for a while. Is it possible? This body was too weak to use a technique that could instantly kill an ancient demon. There was a possibility that his heart could not withstand the high level of technology and burst. But Im not in a position to choose. If you cant do it anyway, its the same as dying. I sent the mana processed by my will to my heart. Subsequently, the magical power containing the will changed the divine power in the heart. One of the techniques I realized during the battle with the Heavenly Demon. Heart sword. The technology that allows you to use divine power independently has created an imaginary de. But it was still not enough. We need to raise the precision of the technique. The skill Concentrate Strike is activated. The precision and destructive power of the skill used for the next blow increases. Focus on Strike. The skills obtained on the 1st floor of thebyrinth formed the soul sword into a form close topletion . Kwajijik! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Its a mind sword that I couldnt detect unless I used the Sasinan. So there was no way the ancient demon could escape, and the ancient demons right arm was cut off. And in a hurry! Without missing the opportunity, I immediately cut off the head of the ancient demon with a blood-red sword. Absorbed the spirit of the ancient demon Carnizzle. Skill proficiency increased by 47%. The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy reached 100%. The unique characteristic Necromancy Its an ancient demon, so I wondered if it would survive even if its throat was cut Seeing that it died right away without anything like that, I was a bit discouraged. Well, after being cut by the sword and decapitated by the sword, its even weirder toe back to life. Even < Vampire Exterminator > would have been impossible to regenerate as much as it was used. But that was only for a moment. Hidden Quest Subjugation of Ancient Demons (Unique) has beenpleted. Additional rewards will be given ordingly. A message suddenly popped up saying additional rewards will be provided You can restore additional abilities. After that message, a portal opened over the altar in the center of themon room. Conditions satisfied. All challengers on the 2nd floor of the giant treebyrinth [whisper of the evil spirit] are eligible to go downstairs. I immediately had a hunch. From now on, the fact that thebyrinth attack will gain momentum. And Its a benefit beyond imagination? That I am the one who will reach the deepest part of thisbyrinth. Chapter 174 174. eleration (4) Being able to restore additional abilities each time I went down a floor was a huge advantage. It was worth it. It meant that I could bring another skill, no matter how fraudulent it was, whether it was a skill or authority. Currently, the ability of the gray blood and the seeker of the blood is reced with the blood cheon deep hole. Of course, it would be better to get another skill than to restore the gray blood and the seeker of the blood. Anyway, it was certain that I had made a ridiculous profit. Feeling delighted by that, I immediately opened the status window. My abilities have gone up a lot. The level of ability he saw on the first floor was nowpletely different. Soon enough, all abilities could reach triple digits. But rather than that, he was more interested in the newly acquired skill. Skill C Manmajiwang (B-) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C Forces all demon-rted beings to feel awe. Detailed effect C Demonic energy (ħ) ), and it bes possible to absorb demonic energy and convert it into magical energy. It was obtained during a battle with an ancient demon, so there was no time to find out what skill it was. After skimming through the skill description, I smiled. Its interesting. An incredibly high skill grade is also a skill grade but this skill, Manmaji King, was said to forcibly nt awe in all beings rted to the devil. In other words, it is said that not only demons but also monsters are forced to feel fear Although it is conditional, it is an undeniable fact that it is a good skill. Even the detailed effects were too good to be ignored. Its a good ability to have resistance to magic and be able to absorb it and convert it into magic. At least it seemed like it would be easy to gain an advantage against enemies rted to demons. Now that the newly created skill was recognized, it was time to apply the reward obtained at the end of the battle. Absorbs the spirit of the ancient demon Carnizle to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength increased by 17. Agility increased by 21. Stamina increased by 19. Magic power increased by 22. . Durability increased by 21. It was a huge increase in stats, but it wasnt that amazing. He must be like that too I defeated an enemy that was close to being impossible to clear, but this should be enough. This is because the ancient demon Kanizl was a being that ordinary challengers could not deal with in the first ce. This level of growth was natural as it was a near-miraculous victory. As I was enjoying the pleasure of growing up, I suddenly heard a voice. Wow what happened to all of this what kind of great battle did this happen? Before anyone knew it, familiar faces had arrived in the cavity where the challengers had fled and disappeared. Looking at Katherine Bets face as if she had seen something she couldnt see, I asked a question in a sullen manner. Are you done exploring? Yeah well to some extent. Seongyun-ssi bought me a lot of time. So, I found a lot of things. That sounds nice to hear. a nice voice. I think there are more items Sungyoon piled behind him than we found. Katherine Be grunted and lifted her head to look near the altar. I was wondering why the challengers suddenly became frightened and ran this way And then, she looked at me with a coy look. The cause was right here. During the battle, the challengers died as if shrimp were bursting in a whale fight. It seems that there were quite a few who escaped without dying. In the meantime, after seeing the runaway challengers, the team members gathered together again. I wondered why he came so quickly, but it must have been because the challengers rushed in. For a moment I thought about what to do with the runaway challengers. Most of them were hostile to me, so I didnt want to see them. But Well, its annoying to follow and kill them, and its a waste of time, so Ill have to stop at this point. Just because he had hostility, it was not worthwhile to follow him to the end. There should be at least as much gain as I followed, but there is none, so I gave up chasing the challengers neatly right away. Instead, they decided to look at the items the team members had farmed. So, did you find any useful items? I wondered if I couldnt find anything, but It seems like there was a huge battle, but in the meantime, weve taken advantage of it too. Maybe it wasnt so, Kim Seung-hoon immediately threw a potion with a green color at me. epting it, I immediately opened my eyes wide in surprise. This is It was justified. The water of life in thebyrinth Grade: C The water of life diluted with some of the essence of the world tree with alchemy. When you take the water of life, all abnormal conditions on the body are removed. Taking the water of life in the giant treebyrinth It recovers an additional 40 [HP] when done. An item that could restore [HP], which had been impossible to regenerate until now, appeared. As expected, there was an item that could recover [HP] separately. For some reason, I thought that [HP] was not automatically recovered. Oh Chun-seok handed me a small box as I was fooling around with the green potion. Well, thats a huge ie, but you can say that the real ie is this. And This item seems to suit Seong-yoon the best. As soon as I opened the small box I was handed over, I couldnt help but open my eyes wide. Box of Life Grade: A+ A box containing the power of life made from pieces of wood collected from the World Tree. It recovers. Giant tree increases all stats of the user by an additional +10 when worn in thebyrinth. It was an unexpected jackpot. *** Originally, the search was to arm the team members I never thought they would bring such a crazy item. Rather, for now, I was in a situation where I was being armed by my teammates. Of course, it was a bit like receiving it unconditionally, so I handed over the items I had collected so far to my teammates. I never thought the challengers from the 1st floor would have such good items Hmm the other challengers didnt have bad equipment either. There were so many great things. On the 2nd floor, instead of proper weapons, there were consumable items scattered around, which is absurd. Well, there were no items I could use in the first ce, so there was no regret. Now that we are armed, lets go down. As soon as I got my teammates armed, I immediately moved to the portal above the altar. You are eligible to go down the 2nd floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [Whisper of the Evil Spirit], so you will receive a reward. I just picked one ability. You have selected [Authority] among [Items/Powers/Skills ] . was Until now, I couldnt raise the proficiency of the Power skill because I didnt have this. The power skills attributed to the divine were intact, but the inherent divine power was not intact. Therefore, I thought that the first priority was to regain this unique divine power. It was worth it. Because raising the proficiency of authority skills is important. I dont know about other abilities, but the power skill is an ability that will be maintained even after leaving thebyrinth steadily developing that ability was not an option, but a necessity. And Ill have to use this for the remaining one. Soon I moved my hand to restore the rest of my powers as well. You have selected a [Skill] among [Items, Powers, and Skills]. Choose what you want to retrieve from the sealed Powers. And The skill About Heaven (A+) will be released from the seal. Soon after, Pacheons skill was released from the seal, and I smiled softly. With this, I can now use a sword techniqueparable to Geomyeom. The reason I chose this skill was simple. It is to reinforce the current disadvantages in using geomgi. My sword skill is still difficult to match properly with other sword skills In addition, it was difficult because it was not suitable for short-term decisive battles due to poor retention. Even with skills and powers, there was a lot of possibility that it would copse. Because the swordsmanship before reaching the Sword me is such a skill. Its a great technique, but its not an absolute power, so I had to take advantage of the strengths while eliminating the weaknesses. Pacheon was adopted as an alternative. Of course, things about recovering the Blood Heaven Demon Sword by choosing Pacheon are a littlete, but It doesnt matter much. To be honest, they could have been retrieved on the next floor. After a while, as soon as the team members regained their abilities one by one, they immediately walked over the portal on top of the altar. Shaaa! You have entered the Giant Tree Labyrinth 3rd Floor [The Corrupted Fairys Dominion Area]. This is a ce where the Corrupt Fairy who entered the Giant Tree Labyrinth oppresses everything alive. It is full. ording to the suggestion of the fallen fairy, participate in the y. However, if you do not participate in the y ording to the suggestion of the fallen fairy, you can be her enemy. At the same time as the unpleasant wind brushes your body , I took a tour of the newly renovated ce. Should I say it looks like a small forest has been moved into arge cave? It was a state of unparalleled, truly heterogeneous scenery. Even Could this be Magi? Even an ominous magic power I had never encountered before was floating in the air. I had encountered it while climbing the tower, so it wasnt difficult to adapt, but The team members who were exposed to demons were tantly displeased. Ugh thats a bad ce. Why is there a forest like this inside the cave Did you say Margie? Ive been through trials in simr ces before. At least, Kim Seung-hun was rtively fine, perhaps because he had been through a demon like me. It was then. Are there other stupid people who want to y with me? Suddenly, a young voice came from the air and I looked up. A little beauty with butterfly-like wings was flying around. Fairy. It was a very small beauty that really suited that word. As the system message said that she was a fallen fairy, there was malice in her eyes. Well, the humans who came to thebyrinth probably know that they have to y along with me, right? The Corrupt Fairy gave a giggling sound I dont like crowds of humans, but there are a lot of foolish humans besides you on this floor. He then spoke with a sly smile on his lips. Lets y a game of reducing each others numbers. And Find and kill 4 or more challengers on the 3rd floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [The area ruled by the fallen fairies]. I frowned at the newly popped up system message. Another battle between challengers? Even now, I had to go so far as to find the challengers like an annoying game of tag. It couldnt be helped that it wasnt very pleasant. At this point, did you understand roughly? But that was only for a moment. From now on, let humans kill each other. Then Ill think about whether or not to reward you. Then, the moment I saw the message that popped up at the same time as the fairys words ended. Challengers who are chosen by the Corrupted Fairy can use the Labyrinth Exclusive Shop. I immediately opened my mouth and spoke to the Corrupted Fairy without thinking. Nothing to worry about. what? Because youll have to reward me anyway. under! Is this a funny person? Why should I? Thats it she said, frowning and very disapprovingly If you dont, youll bleed. It was only for a moment that he maintained his rude attitude. The skill Manmaji Kingfħ֮ is activated. That should be the case too Uh uh uh? Damn nonsense! How could this human get this kind of energy!? Its because Ive acquired a new skill that I can use at this time. I spoke in an overbearing voice to the fairys frightened response. Okay, answer. uh? Answer me. Dont you? Ill give it to you Its the first time weve met, but I dont think its okay to speak casually. yo. this. At that, I smiled softly and looked at the fairy. Im finally ready to talk. I was proud of it because I seemed to have rehabilitated this fallen fairy a little bit. Chapter 175 175. In-depth part (1) First of all, lets start with the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. I asked the Corrupt Fairy to hand over the right to use the store right away. The system message said that the challenger chosen by the fairy can use the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. That means that this corrupt fairy can take over the right to use thebyrinth shop Thats not possible! If you dont join me in my y, you wont be able to use it! The fallen fairy gritted her teeth and endured, as if she hadnt been properly reformed (?) yet. It was unexpected. To rebel like that while being forcibly nted in awe by King Manmaji Is his will that strong? I thought that this little fairy was stronger than I thought, but that was only for a moment. If I join in the y, you might end up unable to y forever. Will that be okay? When I said that with utmost consideration, the fallen fairysplexion turned white. I hate that! What are you nning to do! Now I looked at the fairy who backed away as if it were about to run away and continued talking. If you dont like it that much, wouldnt it be fine if you let me use the shop dedicated to thebyrinth? Soon, she returned a very satisfactory answer. Ah Okay! Got it! Ill do it! All you have to do is do it! And I was chosen by a fallen fairy. I obtained the right to use the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. Then, as soon as I got what I wanted, I couldnt help but smile. Labyrinth achievement Chosen by Corrupted Fairy (Unique) has been achieved. Labyrinth score +15 points obtained. Skill Fairy friendly (D+) is created. Another newbyrinth achievement is achieved . What has been done has been achieved, but Currently umtedbyrinth achievements are 96 points. This is because it is now possible to see the sum of thebyrinth achievements collected so far. I didnt know how many achievement points I had umted because I had ignored the message in the meantime Thebyrinth achievements seemed to collect more points than I thought. 96 points? Considering that normal achievements give 1 point, this was by no means a small score. He must have been able to collect so many points because he aplished several unique-level achievements. Feeling satisfied with that, I delivered one more request to the fallen fairy. Allow my teammates to use thebyrinth-only shop. Even the members of the tee team? Thats really not okay! p-! I slithered the sword out of its sheath before the fairysints were over. Do you really think it wont work? Should it be called a hidden card that helps negotiations? This was close to drawing out the technique that led to a sessful deal with the ancient devil. I was wondering what to do if this technique, which always helped me in negotiations, didnt work Oh no This thats what he said Yes I can . Like a hidden card, he helped me sessfullyplete the negotiations this time as well. Maybe it was just a side effect of the technology used in the negotiations, but the eyes of the team members were focused on me. Seong-yoon You are a formidable person after all. At this point, Im honestly in awe. I told you! Maybe that person isnt really human? Look at that! Hmm. Im going to learn a lot from this too. I never thought I could benefit from something like this. no matter what, as long as the results are good, its good. *** Enter the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. As soon as I gave the shop dedicated to thebyrinth to my teammates, I immediately activated the system. I had collected a lot ofbyrinth points, so I decided to use them without worrying. List the list that can be purchased now. 1. Abilities 2. item 3. Skill 4. Privileges I looked at the list ssified into four categories for a while, then touched my chin. Its ambiguous. First of all, the list from number 1 to number 3 were all a bit like things to buy. Well, I dont know anything until I open the contents, but As for the stats, I still have the Box of Life, so all stats have increased by +10, and even items and skills have been sufficiently supplied from the previous floor. So there was hardly anythingcking at present. However, since I still dont know, I decided to open all the lists, starting with items and skills. The reason for excluding the ability was because all abilities could be raised with necromancy anyway. View [items] in thebyrinth store. Keyword search function is activated. I frowned at the random image of the item. Its not even properly organized. Of course, there was a search function and a search function, but in terms of convenience, it was inferior to the store in the tower. Instead ofining, I ran a search right away. The main search keywords were [Growth] [Support] [Divinity] [Power], but There are a total of 26 items rted to the keyword [Growth]. A total of 47 items rted to the keyword [Support]. It exists. There are a total of 0 items rted to the keyword [Divinity]. There are a total of 4 items rted to the keyword [Power]. None of them were to my liking. Growth-type items are mostly crappy ones, and support is really low-level ones Even the [Divinity] keyword had no rted items, and [Power] only had 4 rted items. Even with that, the items I saw in [Power] had to be given a specific power, and the output or efficiency was raised a little so it was safe to say that there was nothing interesting about it. Were the items stolen from the ancient demons really good? To that, I quickly moved on to skill. View thebyrinth exclusive shop [Skills]. Skill ssification and search function will be activated. This side has more things to see than [Items]. The ssification of skills was clear, and there were some skills that seemed impossible to obtain from the tower. Is this also the speciality of thebyrinth? After looking through the skill list for a while, before long I found some interesting skills. [ssification: Defense] Spell Devouring (C+) [Description: Spell attacks are consumed with magical energy and reced with power] [Price: 10 points] [ssification: Activate] Uncontroble (C+) [Description: Temporarily ignores all abilities belonging to the restraint system for 10 seconds] [Price: 10 points] [ Category: Mental] Mind amplification (C+) [Description: Temporarily intes mind to increase magical power Increases control ability] [Price: 10 points] These three abilities were skills that could make up for what I currentlyck. Spell predation and out of control are essential to cope with the variables in thebyrinth. Since the durability value is low, it would be appropriate to bring a spell-eating skill to cope with powerful magic and purchase an out-of-control skill as a counter-horse to various restraint abilities that may appearter. Thest skill, Intention Amplification, may not be very useful to be honest, but its a waste. In addition, Intention Amplification will help you easily rise to the level of Sword me (). Well, at the point of Pacheon in the first ce, even if there was Geomyeom, it wouldnt help much But it was better than nothing. Skill Eat Spell (C+) was purchased by consuming 10byrinth points. Skill Uncontroble (C+) was purchased by consuming 10byrinth points. Skill Conscience Amplification (C+) was purchased by consuming 10byrinth points. Now that you have acquired all the skills you want to acquire, you no longer need to look at the skills. I browse thebyrinth exclusive store [privileges]. So, when I immediately read the benefits, a mysterious system was activated. Your own special store will be activated. A total of 4 random cards will be provided. When you press and use a random card, the card will be changed to a [item/skill/power] that can be purchased at random. .. .. They said it was a special store . I dont know if theres something special about it, seeing as its written as my own special store, but I didnt intend to press the card right away. It was worth it. At this time, the [item/skill/power] that is changed from the random card is greatly affected by the users disposition and ability. The phrase below says that even drawing this random card is greatly influenced by the ability. Then it means that if I pull it out now, it will be a loss. I knew the power to benefit greatly from a system that relied on luck like this one. I need to get back the protection of the warrior and use it. It was the time to use the authority Heros Protection (C+) received from the hero of the destroyed world. It will be very helpful as it even has the effect of amplifying luck. Of course, its now sealed by thebyrinth but I can restore it right away if I go downstairs anyway. If you can move on to the nextyer, you should be able to get it right away. So I think weve had enough of the reward now, so lets go down. It was time to say goodbye to this floor. Upon hearing this, the fallen fairy was taken aback and then sneaked up to me and whispered softly. So you mean youre going to kill other humans? Perhaps she did it on condition that she kill 4 other challengers for the purpose of this floor I dont like ying hide and seek, so I dont really want to. I didnt want to waste time with meaningless fights between challengers. uh? That though! I cant go to the 4th floor unless I kill the other challengers! In addition You know. ? The way downstairs was already prepared. Isnt it up to you whether or not you can cross this level anyway? What! Dont say no. !! The fallen fairy gave a silent mor, then lowered her head and spoke softly. Its not like theres no bar method at all Really? But I need help to do this ? In response, I sent a look to the fairy asking for an exnation, and soon the answer came right back from her. Once the breakthrough condition is applied to the level of the Labyrinth, it cannot be solved until it ispleted. But there is aw that makes the condition for breaking through one level disappear. So what are the conditions? But do you really have to do this? If you dont want to die, you should. Cant you exin? Ha I will! I was originally going to do it! So, the way to just go down the hierarchy is simple! And You can make a subordination contract with me and turn thisyer of thebyrinth into yours! Then, the breakthrough condition on the hierarchy will also disappear! As soon as I heard the Corruption Fairys words, I eximed and thought. Oh Unexpectedly, there might be a good pet to use in thebyrinth. Chapter 176 176. In-depth (2) To be honest, pets were unfamiliar to me. Among the hunters, there were those who specialized in summoned beasts and those who dealt with nature spirits but I thought it had nothing to do with me. It was worth it. Because this also requires a skill. Exactly, I need the affinity that can be obtained with the skill. It was even more difficult to obtain the skill to deal with the natural spirits, as well as the skill to make contracts with summoned animals. At least that was before the tower appeared. Even though its a rare skill, the power gained from a contract with a summoned beast or spirit isnt great To be honest, even after entering the tower, I didnt feel the reason to buy it, so I lived my life almost forgetting about the existence of a pet. So, I had no intention of signing a summons. However The skill Fairy Affinity is activated.] Affinity with all fairies increases significantly. The newly acquired skill through thebyrinth achievement made it possible to contract with fairies Ah ah. Im subservient to a human In addition, I didnt hesitate because I had a reason to proceed with the contract with this corrupt fairy. Contract conditions satisfied. Signed a subordination contract with the fallen fairy Ea. From now on, it will be possible to summon the fallen fairy Ea. And Giant Tree Labyrinth 3rd Floor [Corrupted Fairys The authority to protect [the domain of control] will be transferred to the challenger, Seongyoon Han. It will be possible to freely cross the 3rd floor of the giant treebyrinth [the domain of the fallen fairys control]. As soon as the subordination contract waspleted, the third-floor guardian authority passed to me. I heard something shaking loudly around me, and then a message came to mind. Theyer breakthrough conditions of the 3rd floor of the giant treebyrinth [the area governed by the fallen fairies] are reset. Please set a newyer breakthrough condition. This is it. I was dubious, but I really came to rule thebyrinthyer. To think that a human who came as a challenger dominated the hierarchy of the giant treesbyrinth To be honest, it was surprising, but that didnt mean he was given tremendous authority. Even with the authority to protect the hierarchy, is it enough to change the conditions for breaking through the hierarchy? In the first ce, since I finished dominating the third floor a long time ago, thats about all I can change Hmm But you can still move on to the next floor as you like without any conditions! Thats right. Like the fallen fairy said, I can now go downstairs without any conditions. Even my teammates seemed to think this was a huge advantage. Cant we just set the conditions and move on? To the extent that Katherine Bet, who had been quiet until now, tilted her head and asked that. Anyway, we bought everything to buy at the shop dedicated to thebyrinth, and we should be strong enough now. At some point, even Chun-seok Oh said that, as if his confidence had risen, and Seung-hun Kim took over as if he were arguing. Its a miracle that the level breakthrough time has been shortened this far. Now Im satisfied and I think I can move on Like he said, I knew that this was the best. But Still, I think it would be a bit disappointing to be satisfied with this. Originally, peoples greed has no end . I think it will be okay if each challenger who crosses the floor dedicates one D-ss or higher item. To be honest, I want to benefit a little more from my heart, but for now, this is close to the best. Thats probably the case too Because there wont be any challengers with C-ss or higher items on the 3rd floor. This is because most of the challengers seen on the previous floor were armed with E-level to D-level items. As soon as I wrote theyer breakthrough condition, a system message came to my mind as if in response. Determine the recipient of the item dedicated as a condition for breaking through the hierarchy. Without any hesitation, the recipient was chosen as me, and then messages appeared. Settingplete. The item dedicated to breaking through the hierarchy is stored in a random space. However, if the guardian has the will, the saved item will be sent to the recipient. The dedicated item is stored in a ce like the inventory and then sent to me. I think it will work. This is an unexpected benefit, so I drew an arc around my mouth. The team members who saw it spat out one word at a time. The challengers on the 3rd floor will see some blood. Ill have to take all the items Ive been collecting tenaciously in thebyrinth and go downstairs Thats probably not the only thing. Challengers whoe to the 3rd floorter will no longer be eligible to use the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. Really Im d were on the same team. Just the thought of being an enemy gives me goosebumps. It was as if the challengers would suffer tremendous damage due to the condition I ced. This could be said to be a huge misunderstanding. Well, we made it so that we wouldnt have to fight each other, but wouldnt this be a mutually beneficial rtionship? On this third floor, originally, the rule was to fight each other and kill several people. It was not unreasonable to call it a good deed among good deeds since it was eliminated and an alternative was provided. Of course, I cant take responsibility for the battle between the challengers that will start from downstairs, but Thats not my concern. After all, thats how the world works. *** After setting the conditions for breaking through the hierarchy, the achievement was achieved before anyone knew it. Labyrinth Achievement ss Domination (Unique) has been achieved Labyrinth score +15 points obtained Skill Guardian (B+) is created Also, it was a unique achievement, but the created skills ability is quite good It was interesting. tutr. When you designate a target and area to protect, your ability will increase ordingly. That was the ability of this skill. Its fine. To be honest, no matter how many skills I have, Im not good enough, so if I have them, Ill be able to use them as much as I want. Satisfied with that small ie, I soon found the passageway down to the 4th floor. no. To be honest, it was a little bit hard to say that I had explored it. Its just Hey, this is the ce where you can go down to the 4th floor Its just that I asked a fallen fairy to guide me. At this point, there is no need to use the corrupt fairy anymore, so I gestured to him. Dont follow me, stay on the third floor. You dont know how to do anything even if you follow me anyway. It was a congrattory order. I know how to do a lot of things But the fallen fairy became sullen and clung to me, probablycking in understanding. I cant y anymore, so being on the 3rd floor is just boring! I thought about kicking him out for a while, then asked what he knew how to do. I dont know if itll be useful though. Do you know what to do? I know a lot, I can use magic well, and uh If thats all, theres really no ce to use it And! I can even make you an ego sword! Hearing the corrupt fairys urgent cry, I immediately opened my eyes wide. Is it an ego sword? Are you talking about an ego sword like Damcheonwoo? It was a little unexpected skill, so I asked what kind of ego sword could be made but the answer that came back was quite far from what I expected. That I can make an Ego Sword by nesting in the sword An Ego Sword with a Corrupt Fairy dwelling in it. It didnt seem very strong. I see. Okay, so stay here until I call. Enough then. I didnt think it was necessary, so I decided to keep it for now. Dont go! Can you make a really good Ego Sword!? It can also improve sword performance a lot! Even if it passed like this anyway, it was possible to summon a corrupt fairy whenever I wanted. If I think Ill need itter, Ill try it out. Soon, I went down the stairs, leaving the swarming corrupt fairies alone Because you have qualified to go down the giant treebyrinth 3rd floor [fallen fairys domain], you will receive a reward. [ Item/Power/Skill] ], you can choose two of them to restore two of your abilities. Soon, a message popped up saying that you can restore your abilities as you did on the previous floors. I had already thought about what to restore. I selected [Authority] among [Items, Powers, and Skills]. Choose what you want to recover from among the sealed Powers. For the time being, I quickly retrieved the Authority to use at thebyrinth-only shop. The authority Blessing of the Hero will be released from the seal. Because it is essential to increase your luck in order to draw the best perks. You have selected [Item] from among [Item Power Skills] Choose one to retrieve from the sealed items And the remaining one The item Blood Demon Sword (A+) will be released from the seal. . I chose the main weapon that I was sorry I hadnt had before. Damcheonwoo, which dwells in the Blood Demon Sword, as well as the basic performance itself, is different from the sword I am using. Therefore, it was certain that the power would greatly increase if he obtained the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. But The item grade does not match the hierarchy level. Originally, the high level of this item was a problem. As a penalty for item recovery, all exclusive effects of the item are sealed until you go to the 7th floor. A blood demon sword with most of the advantages sealed was given to me. Hung! After snatching the Blood Heaven Demon Sword from the air, I clicked my tongue and narrowed my eyes. I couldnt believe it, but are high-grade items subject to sanctions like this? When I browsed the item information, I could see that everything had disappeared except for the basic performance of the sword. So, it was natural that Dam Chun-wus voice could not be heard. Im sorry, but that was only for a moment. I browse thebyrinth exclusive shop [privileges]. While the team members were carefully choosing the ability to restore, I decided to do what I had to do as well. Your own special store will be activated. A total of 4 random cards will be provided. When you press and use a random card, the card will be changed to a [item/skill/power] that can be purchased at random. Looking at the reason for restoring the divine protection, I cleared my mind. Whoa. And All random cards are used. Perks that can be purchased randomly from normal to mythic grades are determined. Then, the moment I touched 4 cards at the same time. The authority skill Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Luck temporarily and violently increases. Brilliant golden light shed brightly from the random card, and I was able to intuit. This is Revealing all the perks that can be bought. Chapter 177 177. Depth (3) Hwaaak! I will reveal all the perks that can be bought. After the brilliant lights shed as if they would obscure the view Soon, four different perks appeared on the cards in the perk shop. [Category: Skill] Exclusive Skill Book (SSS+) [Description: Creates an exclusive skill optimized only for the user] [Price: 100 points] [ssification: Weapon] Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+) [ Description : Generates a dedicated spell optimized only for the user] [Price: 100 points] [ssification: Power] Power Evolution Potion (SSS+) [Description: Randomly selects and evolves one of the possessed powers] [ Price: 100 points] [ssification: Holy] Absolute Preservation (SSS+) [Exnation: Never lose an ability once possessed under any circumstances] [Price: 100 points] After seeing the perks that popped up, I felt all over my body . I felt an exhrating sensation rising. It was just like that. All SSS+ level perks All the perks that popped up in the current random card boasted the highest grade without exception. To be honest, I even used the warriors protection, but I never imagined that I would get such good results. Even the highest grade, the contents were incredibly outstanding. All these perks were not avable even in the Tower. Exclusive skills, exclusive spells, and power evolution are all amazing. I have never seen it before, and I will never see it again. Not to mention exclusive skills and exclusive spells, its to the point where I cant even figure out what power evolution really is. However, if there is one perk that can be said to be the best among them, it must be this one. Absolute preservation. I dont know if its a skill, a power, or something else ssified as a perk but the ability it had was very attractive to me. Its important that you never lose an ability once you possess it. After entering the giant treebyrinth, I realized that I lost my ability. The difference in skill is also the difference in skill, but the ability given by the tower cannot be ignored. An ability such as a skill or authority determines the oue of a battle just by its existence. The skill with which it is used is only a secondary matter. The reason Ive overwhelmingly defeated the enemies so far is actually thanks to the Power Skill. Therefore, the perks of absolute preservation were appealing to me. In addition If there is absolute preservation, even the abilities obtained in thebyrinth can be taken outside, right? You should be able to bring the various abilities that are only used inside thebyrinth to the outside. The benefits of the Absolute Preservation Perk itself were clear. Just But the price is a problem. Its just that we currently dont have enough points to buy absolute preservation on hand. Even if you look at other perks, not absolute preservation, it boasted an absolute preservation level price. In other words, it was safe to assume that there was nothing I could buy out of these four perks. The perks are ridiculously expensive, so theres nothing I can buy. After entering the giant treebyrinth, I thought I had collected various achievements, but this wasnt enough But I wasnt frustrated. . Should I say that, at this point, my curiosity is piqued? Are all the points required to be 400 points? How many achievements do I have to collect to buy these perks I think its worth trying. It was a little, but it seemed to be expected. *** Is it because of the purpose of collecting 400byrinth points and buying all the perks? Unlike before, when I only thought of reaching the depths quickly, I felt a surge of heat in my heart. I have to achieve as many achievements as possible. From now on, its time to sincerely sweep the achievements. Now lets finish the maintenance here and go downstairs. In response, I quickly and silently rmended the team members, who were immersed in maintenance, to go downstairs. Of course, the team did not readily ept the rmendation. Why dont we think a little more carefully about the skill tree? Arent the other challengers still on top anyway? thats right. This is because that person is too hasty. At least a few buff-type skills are not going to help. I agree. But, as always, the road to persuasion was not far. I can carry it up to the 7th floor anyway. Whoa-! The skill Intention Amplification is activated. The moment you activate a new skill learned from the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. A formless aura radiated from my body, giving me tremendous persuasive power. Originally, it is a catch technique that Murim people often use before battle to show off their skills . Then there seems to be no disagreement, so lets go down. I looked at the quiet teammates for a moment, then said that and started moving. !! For some reason, I could feel the displeasure from Catherine Be, who was opening her mouth, but I didnt care too much. Ignoring Katherine Bes silent cries, I went down the stairs and a message appeared. You have entered the [Dark Zone] on the 4th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth. From here on, the ce has been newly changed by the Dark Lord who entered the Giant Tree Labyrinth . The lich dominates. Cleave the enemies blocking the way and go downstairs where the dark lord resides. I narrowed my eyes as I stared at the destend dyed ck. Could it be that the floors are connected? Until now, every time I went downstairs, a new ce appeared. Each had a different theme, and even the boss who guarded the hierarchy was different. However, breaking that rule was refreshing in its own way. Maybe there is an enemy downstairs strong enough to break the rules that have been kept implicitly. But the thought didntst long. The authority Law of Darkness has detected that a stranger has entered the [Dark Zone]. Suddenly, a message popped up saying that they had been caught by some authority Thew applies to them. Because they are not invited by the Dark Lord, all stats decrease by -10. Because they are not loyal to the Dark Lord, they are targeted by the monsters that serve the Dark Lord. Enmity toward the Dark Lord. Because they are embracing them, the skeletons of the rich appear. At the same time, all abilities fell, something began to rise from the earth. Quadd! oh. I got a sense of it when I saw hands made of bones with no flesh attached to them randomly sprouting around me. These are the skeletons of the lich. Its been a long time since Ive seen a skeleton, but theyre enemies you cant look at lightly. That would be the case too I dont think these are all normal skeletons? As Catherine Bet said, skeletons had a sense of distance from normal skeletons. ck energy was rising like steam from the skeletons rising from the earth I immediately noticed what that was. Divine power? A mere monster possessing the power that only those who believe in and serve God Iughed at that fact, but it was only for a moment. Wait a minute Suddenly, inspiration shed in my head like lightning. Isnt this something I can do nogada? Originally, I had the ability to extract divinity through the power of divine power. Since the divine power has not disappeared due to < Yeokcheon >, the ability to extract the divine must still exist. When my thoughts reached that point, I swung my sword straight at one of the skeletons around me. Kwajik! The skeletons spirit has been absorbed. Proficiency has increased by 0.1%. Is it because the sword has a lot of mana? Even though it was wrapped in a very good energy, the skeletons skull was cut as if it were broken. And The divinity in the skeletons spirit has been captured. The authority divine power is activated by satisfying the conditions. appear. Seeded in divinity extraction. Absorbed the divinity from the skeleton with absurd ease. Of course, because it was only a skeleton dwelling in divinity, it was close to an amount that it would be hard to call it the size of a rats tail That was enough. Since there is divinity even for the skeletons who are like miscreants, there must be divinity for a lich or a dark lord. To nt confidence in the n to execute from now on. Uh there are suddenly a lot of skeletons is this okay? I can feel a suspicious energy from the skeleton. It doesnt seem like magic. You better be careful. Well, its a skeleton anyway. This human will take care of most of it, so in the meantime, we can just support. Did you say that dust was collected and called Taishan? Recalling a proverb I heard before, I looked around at the ever-increasing number of skeletons with twinkling eyes. The divinity they have wont help much to be honest but even so, if you extract the divinity with a number that is different from a few hundred or a few thousand, the story is a little different. How helpful would it be if I gathered all the monsters in this [Dark Zone] and dealt with them? I dont know, but if you collect and absorb the divinity of the monsters within the [Dark Zone], it will be worth seeing. And I knew very well how to efficiently crowd monsters in this situation. What are youughing so hard about? Didnt you intend to catch all the skeletons and go down quickly? I immediately answered the question that Catherine Bet tilted her head at. I have changed my mind a bit. ? Ill be going downstairs a littleter. What is that And. I immediately concentrated my consciousness and activated the skill The skill Manmaji King is activated.] Ted deed! Subsequently, numerous skeletons trembled and then prostrated themselves in unison. There is no need to hold these. Like a servant who saw the king. Because Im going to use it until I get to Richie. Looking at them, I smiled. Since I made the talents (?) of the enemy into my hand, I wondered if this would be close to a true creative economy The skeletons opened the way, so lets go to the lich now. It seemed that it would be difficult to call it a creative economy with just such a thing. He would be like that too Because I think I need to talk to Richie about various things. The deal with the lich from now on will be the real creative economy. Chapter 178 178. Depth (4) A lich is a monster but does not possess the weakness of a monster. Unlike normal monsters, he didnt lose his sanity and wasnt addicted to demonic energy, so he didnt have most of the weaknesses of monsters. Its a huge advantage that doesnt seem like a monster with a low thinking ability itself but it was worth it. Originally, the magician, who was just a human, obtained the magic through a contract with the devil. And among these rich objects, there were also those who were ssified as new beings. High Rich. Beyondmon sense, the monster among monsters that can easily live for hundreds of years did not feel fear. For the High Lich, fear is now a remnant of a distant past. It was the same with Carbet. Carbet. Humans have entered the 4th floor. Now he was not even thrilled by the news of the intruders. Another foolish challenger has entered Dalgrak-. Carbett said in a low voice with red eyes shing at the subordinates report. 70 years no it seems like over 100 years have passed but are there still people entering thisbyrinth went. My guess is that maybe they are challengers, not selected seekers. The challenger, not the explorer I see Has thepetition of the gods begun I think so. Yes,petition. Its been a while. But no matter how challengers you are, you wont be able toe this far. Carbett opened her mouth as she recalled the past, which she couldnt remember anymore. Nothing to worry about. The challengers who have passed this ce so far can be counted on one hand. He was not very wary of challengers. He would be like that too For more than a few hundred years, the number of challengers who have passed through his hand and flowed downstairs downstairs is about to be counted on one hand. Of course, there were those who sneaked downstairs like rats but thats just impossible now. It was the moment when Carbett was about to give a congrattory order to her subordinates with her body sagging. Hard-. Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and the castle where Carbett lived shook slightly. what? Carbett touched her chin as if she couldnt understand the vibration of the earth. It is not a natural earthquake. Since the giant treebyrinth is abyrinth created inside the World Tree, natural earthquakes cannot ur. Then this must mean that this vibration was caused artificially It was difficult to know where the hell these vibrations came from. It was then. Ka Karbet! I think you should take a look at this! The vampire subordinate dyed his already pale face even paler and held a mirror made of blood at Calbet. And Calbet, who saw the scene reflected in the mirror, called out to his subordinate in a tense voice. Richard. yes. It is an emergency. Even if you dont say it, youll know it well. Establish a boundary right now through the monsters. I see! And call Sir Berhag. Berhag. Among the monsters currently on the 4th floor, the death knight, who was close to the strongest, could not be called carelessly. Because he is addicted to training, devoting all his time to training. Calling him for trivial matters would turn the fourth floor into chaos. So Richard had no choice but to ask again with his face hardened. Do I really have to call Lord Berhag? okay. Its this kind of emergency, so well have to call him too. I see. However, he may not answer the call There is no need to worry about that. Lord Berhag will respond to the call. yes? Isnt it a situation that has no choice but to be like that in the first ce? Carbet said in a deep voice as if dering. Its nothing else, a new Demon King has appeared. The demon king appeared in the giant treebyrinth. *** Suddenly, my ears are itching. I squinted my eyes at the itchy feeling that made me feel bad for some reason but that was only for a moment. DKreurreuk! As I moved toward the center of the [Dark Zone], I saw the newly appeared monsters and smiled. It was worth it. Even the monsters that looked like wolves always felt divine power. Its good. Its also several times better than things like skeletons. However, unlike the skeletons, the wolf-like monsters were not ruled by King Manmaji. It was even more hostile to me because of the reverence nted by King Manmaji, to the point of shedding life At this point, it was difficult to avoid the fight. Looks like you cant even eat this raw. In response, I had no choice but to use the new moon sword in my hand to channel my magic. With the effect exclusive to the Sword of New Moon (C+), all of the users stats increase by +1. Let the sword ripped from the ancient demon radiate light as if it would pay for it With the exclusive effect of the Sword of New Moon (C+) Within the range of the moonlight, the magic power of all allies increases by +1. Next, the soft moonlight permeated the team members around them and raised their magic power. By using an item dedicated to thebyrinth, 10 [MP] is consumed every minute. Well, in return, [MP] was used In the first ce, thebyrinth-only stats can be recovered as much as you like with the Box of Life. It just takes a little bit of time. So, without worrying too much, I was able to run straight to the wolf-like monsters. Immediately kicking off the ground and running out, I heard the busy voices of my teammates from behind. Hes running out like that again! Fast, quick support system authority! Actually, I dont think I can do anything for you, but Ill cast a protection spell. And All stats are temporarily increased by +2 by the authority Blessing of Fire. Automatic defense function is used up to 4 times by the skill Wind Shield. rises, and in addition to that, a gust of wind is also wrapped around it. Now Im paying for it. To be honest, so far its been a fight close to a one-man show but it was natural for the team members to recover to some extent once they reached the 4th floor. This was the same for Kim Seung-hun, not Catherine Be or Oh Chun-seok, who belonged to the wizard. Enemies within the specified range, excluding allies, are electrocuted by the authority Hammer of Lightning. Kwagwagwang! As soon as Kim Seung-hoon swung his two-handed hammer, electricity was immediately released from the hammer and scattered. nice. Even if it wasnt, I thought it would be a bit annoying because I was at a numerical disadvantage Kim Seung-hun used stun in a wide area and the wolf demons became sluggish. But the satisfaction was only momentary. Sherry Rick! The shadow of a certain wolf monster stretched out like a whip and stretched Despite reflexively avoiding it, it contacted my shadow and caused an ident. Movement speed is reduced by -10% due to the special power Shadow Catch. Still, is it a monster with divine power? I didnt know how to use the authority. Unlike normal monsters, it consumed divine power and even used authority. Even because it was a special power, the debuff was stronger than I thought. I couldnt stop the activation of the authority, but I unconditionally lowered my movement speed by 10%. Kkeugg! Shadows from beneath the feet of the demonic wolves stretched out like a tidal wave and rushed at me. Movement speed is reduced by -10% by the special power Hold on the Shadow. Movement speed is decreased by -10% by the special power Hold on the Shadow] By the special power Hold on the Shadow Movement speed decreased by -10% . I missed the skill called Forced Breakthrough that I had acquired in the past. It was only after the flowers withered that they knew it was spring, and that was the situation. But should it be said that it is a case of attack? Wedge liquid! ck energy gushed out from the wolf monsters, and it was transformed into a short spear and fired at me. The attack is extinguished by the skill Wind Shield. Of course, it was immediately extinguished by the wind shield given by Oh Chun-Seok but I couldnt help but be astonished at the fact that the wolf monster attacked from a distance. It looks like a wolf, so it slows down movement speed and attacks from a distance in an ugly way? In a way, these werewolves were more vicious than the ancient demons they had fought before. At least the ancient demons didnt fight so nasty. Subsequently, ck energy poured down like rain, and the number of automatic defenses of the windshield was exhausted in an instant . The skill Eat Spell is activated. Because there is a skill I bought in advance knowing this. Of course, since it is a skill that only absorbs spells, it could have been useless, but were the skewersposed of that ck energy also spells? It consumes magical energy and reces all spells that touch the body with temporary ability values. As soon as the ck energy touched the skin, the magical energy was consumed and vitality surged from the body. To be honest, if you look at it this far, it feels like a great fraudulent skill, but I cant say that efficiency is good even with empty words. In reality, it was safe to say that it was a machine that consumed mana. It took so much mana just to block an attack of this level. After confirming that it wasnt a skill I would use, I activated another skill. The skill Out of Control is activated. Ignores all status ailments for 10 seconds. After several stacked movement speed drops disappear. He immediately jumped into the center where the wolf monsters were gathered and energized the sword. The skill Amplification of Intention is activated. And The Authority, Sword Spirit Merchant is activated. Next, I use the amplified Intention to evolve the sword spirit into Sword me, giving additional properties. did. The authority Sword Spirit Merchant will grow into the Authority Sword me Martian. A very simple property of an explosion. However, the resulting result was enormous, not suitable for simple property assignment. Kwakwagwagwang! The demonic wolves, touched by the sword, were swept away by the explosion without even giving a final word. Soon after swinging the sword a few more times, the corpses of the wolf demons were torn apart like rags. Thebyrinth achievement Rare has been achieved.] Thebyrinth score +4 has been obtained. Thebyrinth achievement Sword Master (Rare) has been achieved Acquired] Achievedbyrinth achievement Rare Acquiredbyrinth score +4 Sweet. It was a fight that was uglier than I thought, but the achievements that came as rewards were sweet as well. In addition Sacred extraction sessful. By absorbing the spirits of all the wolf monsters around him, he collected a lot of divine power. Oh, of course,pared to the divine power that was originally stored in my heart, it was a bit small, but there was nothing I could do about it. This level of supply and demand would have been everything before he could easily take divinity like eating a cake through a deal (?) with a lich. But I still cant help but regret it. It was the moment when he licked his lips and tried to move his teammates. Ha ha ha! Carbet was right! I couldnt believe the demon king was in a ce like this! A knight armed with ck armor appeared from beyond the corpses of wolf monsters piled up like a mountain. Finally, you will see the results of your training! Come, demon king in human form! As soon as I saw him, I instinctively realized that he wasnt even a human, let alone a challenger. I will kill you today and this body will be a true death knight! Also Oh. The fact that this article will serve as both a guide and a sacrifice of divine power to guide the lich. Chapter 179 179. In-depth (5) The knight in ck armor put his hand on his chest and introduced himself. The name of this body is Berhag. Demon king in human form. Say your name too. Its been a while. There are other Moorim people who introduce themselves like a psychopath. Its absurd, so it makes meugh. It reminded me of Aress knight whom I met for the first time while climbing the tower. It was even more so when I saw that he was spouting lines that made him cheesy even because he was a demon king in human form. But there was nothing bad to see. He would be like that too Even if it wasnt so, I thought I should have a guide, but that worked out. Because it can be used like this. I immediately sent a telegram to the teammates behind me using the magical power in my body. DI will take care of it myself, so everyone please wait. It was a request to wait for now without having to step out. If I didnt listen to something, I tried to exin it separately, but fortunately that didnt happen. Only then did I open my mouth and answer Berhags question. I am Han Seong-yoon. Hoo. I thought it would be a challenger to the Moorim world. There were so many strong people 100 years ago Enough, to the point. ? I want to know what the main point is. I think the name caused some misunderstanding, but I didnt want to drag the conversation on. However, Berhag spoke in an unpleasant tone, as if he did not like this pragmatic conversation. The subject possessing the power of the demon lord has no dignity to the point of being dirty. We are opponents to fight each other, but there is nothing to talk about at length. . And well be able to have enough conversationster anyway. What are you talking about again? Is it possible to talkter? Berhag asked with a questioning voice, and I immediately responded with a grin. Because you will obey me anyway. And Ha! On the topic of a demon king in human form! Are you underestimating this Berhag! Then, demonic energy flowed through the cracks in Berhags armor, and a system message came to mind. Labyrinth Achievement Rare of Provocation has been activated. Labyrinth score +4 points obtained. Unexpectedbyrinth achievements are alsobyrinth achievements, but there were also other types of messages. You are gradually poisoned with demonic energy by the authority Demonic Erosion. Currently, the demonic erosion progress is 1%. Maybe the demonic energy emitted from the armor was to activate this authority? The outward appearance is armed with armor like a medieval knight, but such an obscene power Monsters are monsters. I couldnt help but smile at him. Whoa ha ha! Struggle as much as you can! Even the demon lord wont be able to withstand the demonic energy of this body! Thats probably the case too The skill King of Demons is activated.] Absorbs all demonic energy and converts it into magic. Despite telling me that I am the Demon King, I am serious about myself. Because I didnt know enough to do it. You should feel with your own skin that the Magi who received it directly from the Demon God is of a different rank! It was funny how he shouted out loud without knowing that he had converted all of his demonic energy to magical power a long time ago. Things like that happen, too. Well, I didnt care that much. Because anyone has a usible n. Until one hit. *** Tak Tak Tak! Damn it. Carbett tapped the table with her bony fingers, revealing her uneasiness. Emotions he hadnt experienced in decades echoed through his bones and whispered to him. I dont know why, but something seems very wrong. It should be because of my mood Of course, he also rationally thought that the challenger couldnt cause a problem. It was because the Berhag line could handle at least the existence of those who had just awakened to demons. Of course, even if he was called a new demon king, he had the power to dominate, but Berhags demonic energy would be stronger than that of a newly born demon king. Magi of different temperaments collide like crazy. Being a Magi was tainted with fighting from the very essence. Therefore, when different demons meet, it is standard practice to fight until one side disappears ording to that reason, the demon of the new demon king will disappear from the demon of Berhag, who has been trained for over 100 years. Even if hes a demon king, hes just a challenger, so he wont be able to defeat Berhag with his magic. The challenger regains strength by going down the floor, but the current number of floors was only 4. The specifications of the challenger before entering the 5th floor, which is ssified in earnest in the deep section, are insignificant. So theres nothing to worry about, Carbet reassured herself. But that was only for a moment. Ka Karbet-sama Im sorry, but it seems that all the dark wolves are dead Carbet was shocked by the news of the sudden death of the monsters. Why do things that even have authority die? Thats what Im good at Ha, but Lord Berhag is gone, so the challengers will be dealt with soon! It was a moment when Carbett felt tremendous anxiety. Gggg! Suddenly, around the castle gate, I felt some kind of vibration, and people started to rise. At that, Richards pale face, characteristic of a vampire, turned bright. It looks like Lord Berhag has returned! Sir Berhag? yes! Feel this magic! It looks like youre tired from the fierce battle, but its definitely Lord Berhags demon! Now Carbett said nothing, and only Richard cleared the awkwardness with his chatter. And soon, when the door to the castle room opened, a knight wearing the armor of fear appeared. It was Berhag. As soon as Richard saw him, a smile came to his lips and he said in a voice filled with joy. As expected, Sir Berhag! I had no doubt that you would win! You are wonderful! But what I heard soon was neither a report that the battle had been won, nor a boastful voice full of pride. You didnt win? After hearing an astonishing voice from behind, which was covered by Berhags unnecessarilyrge armor . do Hit It was undoubtedly the cry of a man in fear. thud! At the end of those words, Berhags body copsed and the human figure beyond it appeared. I didnt win, but this guy was also captured. It was Han Seong-yoon. At this, Richard btedly screamed in amazement. Heh heh! Sir Be Berhag! No bastard! You know who the person here is, and you dare! But Carbet, on the contrary, acted calmly. You look stupid! reheart! Youre not the kind of person to be humble! Carbett emitted a blue light where her eyes were supposed to be, and jumped up from her seat. And he approached Han Seong-yoon in an upright position without any shaking, and knelt down as it were. Its also very natural. dump! The king of all demons! This Carbet will serve you! Please take care of this lowly servant! One timing was a staggering submission. *** It was strange to see Richie lying face down with her head bowed out of the blue. . Should I say I feel like a viin in a novel? I dont know why they treat people like viins like this. The real viins are these guys who are ready to kill people, but for some reason, theposition seemed a little strange. Of course Cant you stop doing useless performances? If even this could be used, I had no intention of rejecting it. If it bothers you, I will do so Ah, and tell the vampire who is called Richard to bring myrades from outside the castle. At that, Carbett flinched, then nodded and gave an order to Richard. All right. Richard. Bring the demon lords colleagues from outside the castle. Be as polite as possible. At those words, Richard trembled, nced at me, and left the castle room as if running away. With this, I now have time to talk to Richie slowly I got to the point without wasting time. Why do all the monsters on the 4th floor have divine power? It was the question I had when I first encountered the skeleton. Why do monsters without intelligence possess divine power? I wondered where this divinity was paid. By the way Thats all the grace given by the Dark Lord, the prospective apostle. An unexpected person suddenly appeared. Dark Lord? Yes. This is the monarch who lives downstairs. In the past, he was the demon king I served. Did the prospective apostle have that much authority? Its not like that, but it has that much authority within the giant treesbyrinth. In the giant treebyrinth, you have enough authority to directly grant divinity. I was intrigued by that fact and immediately asked a few questions. Why do you have that much authority in the giant treebyrinth? Thats right Thisbyrinth is the ce where the godspete. Competition? Ah, since youre a challenger, you might not know much about the giant treebyrinth. Exin in more detail. The giant treebyrinth is a ce where various gods take challengers as their followers andpete based on them. A great speech erupted. Thebyrinth achievement Legend has been achieved. Thebyrinth score +100 is obtained. As if to prove it in practice, abyrinth achievement that has never been seen before has been achieved [HP] and [MP] ] The total amount of [HP] and [MP] increases considerably. Its not a lie. Considering the altar seen from the first floor, the giant treebyrinth must have been a contested ce for the gods, as this lich imed. I asked him more about this and that, but the answer that came back was not satisfied. More than this, I dont know! You must be familiar with the dark lord! This answer did not change even though he threatened and asked. So it would be right to know nothing more. I immediately shut up, and Carbet quickly continued. Of course, the only ones who can receive divinity are those with demonic energy, and even the dark lord cannot sprinkle divinity indefinitely. It seems that it will be difficult to get more information at the moment anyway. First of all, I threw a new question in order to achieve the initial purpose. Then, are all the monsters in this hierarchy endowed with divinity? Thats right. It took a long time to infuse the divinity, but they are the elite of the bestowed with divinity! As if bragging, Carbet said so. These elite monsters will be of great help to the Demon Kings power! I feel like Im proud, but maybe that pride wontst long. That would be Bring it. yes? Bring all the monsters who received the divinity. Why are you suddenly asking me to bring it Because I have no intention of keeping these monsters alive. From now on, I will kill them all. This is the beginning of the Divine Harvest Nogada. Chapter 180 180. Irregr (1) Divine extraction. I dont know if its because of building individual divine powers or for other reasons From before, whenever I absorbed a dead spirit, I was able to extract and absorb the divine spirit that dwells in the dead spirit. But I can assure you, there will never be a day when I have extracted so much divinity as today. That would be the case too Sacred extraction sessful. Sacred extraction sessful. Sacred extraction sessful. Currently, the message that the divinity was extracted was floating endlessly in my retinas. This isnt some kind of sacred factory Iughed at the divine power harvested tremendously as if it were produced by a machine. Currently, I was in the process of collecting and killing all the monsters in the [Dark Zone]. Well, the amount thates in through divinity extraction isnt that much . After doing this, it felt like a kind of work now, and before I knew it, my heart was filled with divine power. Even considering the divine power gathered from the monsters so far, its to the point where Im at the level of a reserve apostle. Is it supposed to feel like frosting a watermelon in a farmhouse on a hot summer day? The thought that I was eating the sweet fruits that would have been grown by those who served the demons raw like this doubled my satisfaction. Of course Ah ah ah! my! My masterpieces eeeeeeeee! King of all demons! Please contact me!! Annoyingly, Carbet begged me as she pounded her bony head into the ground. Please save all the monsters you cherished. But he didnt really interfere, knowing that his life was precious. Its just all that loud crying around. But I calmly responded to Carbets cry. Noisy. After all, these guys will be used in battle someday. On the subject of just wasting resources. Carbet must have tamed the demons to send them into battle anyway Regardless of whether she dies in battle or is absorbed by me as a spirit, the result is the same. So there was no such thing as guilt. and. Dont pretend to be crying. I cant even shed tears anyway, so why are you doing that? As a bonus, he also blew a sharp blow at that rich man who had no flesh attached. If anyone saw it, they would think it was a funeral, so it was shocking to see them sobbing. If you fake cry one more time, I will kill you for real. Keep it off. Knock off. The same goes for the sound of holding back that cry. I clicked my tongue as I looked at Carbet, who was trembling quietly on the floor. Anyway, I have a lot of unnecessarily obsessed I thought that this was all due to vain greed, so the movement to cut down the monsters was also spurs. I realized that I also have a lot of emotions with a good heart to erase the useless greed left by Carbet. Unexpectedly , showing mercy to the enemy like this You havepleted the Labyrinth achievement Heart stained with darkness (Epic) . ) has been achieved.] Labyrinth points +10 points have been obtained. Labyrinth achievement Epic of the Strong has been achieved. Labyrinth points +10 points have been obtained. Even Carbet Thanks to the consideration, even an unexpected reward appeared. This must also be karma. The good deeds of being considerate of even the enemy who will die soon have achieved thebyrinth achievement. I smiled at him. At this rate, it would be quick to collect 400 points. Isnt this why people should live doing good deeds? Thebyrinth achievement Rare, not good intention has been achieved. Thebyrinth score +4 points have been obtained *** Divinity extraction waspleted after several hours. Its over now. These few hours were truly very rewarding. For reference, this is not that its rewarding in the mental aspect, but its rewarding in the inertial aspect. I got more than 10 skills and I got my abilities back to about 40% of their heyday levels. Since the use of necromancy is essential for divinity extraction work, it was only natural to acquire not only stats but also skills. And the grade of this necromancy itself has also risen, and now it has risen to a B grade. It means that power absorption is possible now. Of course, it is possible to absorb the authority through various conditions but since it has be extremely weak after entering the giant treebyrinth, it will be able to absorb the authority as much as it wants. Well, I didnt get authority from monsters like wolves, but other monsters must be different. Lich, for example. I slightly turned my eyes to look at the devastated Calbet. Perhaps he thinks that he will be able to survive because he has obeyed me. In fact, I also promised to spare Carbett. But I never said that I would keep you alive forever, so what? Thinking of the authority he would soon acquire, even the thought of saving him ran away. What mercy would you give to that wicked being who would have killed dozens of people in the first ce? In fact, I should be grateful for this level of consideration. Soon, as I was trying to live a quiet life, a vampire called Richart brought along hispanions. They had discarded most of the equipment they had acquired so far and reced it with new items. I gave all the treasures in the castle to my colleagues as ordered by the demon king Just like in the original game, all the items in the enemy camp were collected I thought I did. In response, I gave an order to Richard to arm the team properly. Looking at the condition, it seems that I was able to get some pretty good items. Katherine Bet ran up to me in excitement and showed me a wand studded with different types of jewels. Look at this! this! With this wand, you can give various properties to magic power! how is it!? Should I say its like a puppy picking up an old tennis ball from the park? Seeing that look that seemed to be seeking praise, I smiled and gave a rough answer. Thats great. Not a good level! If you have this, you can gain an advantage in any type of magic! Is that so. Would it be of great help to you too? Later Ill show you how good this is! Ive always thought of Catherine Bet, but she also had a little childlike side to her. Seeing him talking like a kid with his tall, tall body like a model, there was a gap that made me burst intoughter. Of course, it was only for a while that he enjoyed the conversation with Katherine Be. Sungyoon, but why is Richie doing that over there? Oh Chun-seok, dressed in a red shining robe, approached quietly and asked. Im pretending to be tough. I directly told him why Carbet was doing that. When youre like that, you seem to know how to be merciful. Uh um I see I think youre very sad for some reason No. All of that would be acting. Is that so? It looks like the real thing to me, but its amazing. I can confirm it. It was time to move soon anyway, so Carbetts guidance was essential. Soon, I approached Calbet, who was sitting down, and opened her mouth. Stand up straight. Carbet. Take me to the stairs downstairs. You mean you want to go straight to the bar on the 5th floor? You need time to change theyer breakthrough condition Dont you know that beingzy like you is just following a bastard named Sir Berhag? I will do it! boo please give me a chance! I will guide you right away! I will. He had only spoken a few words, but Carbett was already fast. I ate at the sight of Carbet, who immediately busily prepared for guidance. Look at this. You move well without being sad. Im sure its all acting. However, Oh Chun-seok closed his mouth without saying anything, and Kim Seung-hoon, who was watching the scene, said a word. If this is also marvelous, it must be marvelous Of course, he didnt bother to answer that. *** Following Calbet inside the ckened fortress, a hidden ce appeared. This is the stairway that leads to the fifth floor. By excavating the floor densely packed with bricks, an entrance to the nextyer appeared. Carbet shrank and looked at me. Ha, but the level breakthrough condition has not been lifted yet, so you have to wait a bit! Maybe hes just in case I get mad at him for not being able to go downstairs right away. Carbets worries were futile. That would be the case Its okay. I had no intention of making him change the conditions for breaking through the hierarchy in the first ce. Because there is no need to wait. Only then did Carbet startle and quickly open her mouth I cant stand it! Now hold on! It cant be like this Before he could speak, the sword of the new moon that came out broke Carbetts head. Kwajijik! Absorbed the spirit of the high-rich Carbett. Proficiency increases by 21.1%. Carbets spirit raised the proficiency more than any other monster killed on the 4th floor. Even Absorbs a stronger spirit than the user, and the judgment of power extraction begins. The effect of power extraction was activated on Carbet, as if the various overall conditions were met. [Judgment sessful.] As the saying goes, even if it is rotten, it is still alive [Confirmed that authority exists in the spirit of the high-rich Carbett.] [ Extracts power from the spirit.] It means that it was enough to reign as the boss monster that guards the floor. The authority, Ghost Control (B+), is imprinted on the soul of the user Han Seong-yoon. However, I didnt immediately absorb Calbets spirit and continued to wield the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. Chow! It was to defeat even a vampire named Rihat who guarded the seat next to Carbet. Richart died without even dying, perhaps because he extracted divinity like a factory and raised his stats tremendously. Absorbed the spirit of the vampire Richart. Skill increased by 9.7%. It didnt even regenerate because I killed it after turning on the myth of < Vampire Exterminator >. It was possible to organize the situation neatly without protracting the battle. There really is no mercy at all Catherine Bet looked at the scene and then said in amazement. It is natural. Because they were monsters and wanted to kill us in the first ce. If you look closely, it is, but for some reason you say it a little ? its nothing. It seems like you wouldnt know even if I told you. Thats it. Although I was a little concerned about Katherine Bes drooping shoulders Lets go downstairs now. Now that we had all we could get, it was time to go downstairs. You are qualified to go down the [Dark Zone] on the 4th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth, so you will receive a reward . It was decided in advance what ability to restore. Choose [Authority] out of [Items, Powers, Skills]. Choose what you want to recover from among the sealed Powers . The unique ability Skill Synthesis will be released from the seal. The second ability to recover was a skill that could secure safety, although it was a bit worrisome. Choose a [Skill] among [Items, Powers, Skills]. Choose one to retrieve from the sealed skills. The skill Last Resistance is released from the seal. The Last Resistance. It was a skill that had a history of saving me from various crises, starting with the battle with Namgoong-hyuk. Well, the cooldown is long, and its limited to one shot, so it counts as if there were no fatal wounds. Thats enough. It was no different from an essential skill after learning that the giant treebyrinth was an event involving even the gods. It was worth it. As many gods are intertwined, they will consume too much energy fighting each other for interests. The message from the god of darkness that he saw after entering the giant treebyrinth also yed a part in making him choose this skill. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits. Muscle power increased by 8 Agility increased by 7 Stamina increased by 6 Magic power increased by 9 Durability increased by 9 has risen. As soon as I restored my abilities, I absorbed the spirits of Carbet and Richard and converted them into my ability values. It would be a shame if I allowed an attackter and consumed it as a necromancy shield. And Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the High Rich Carbett. This is how? Unexpected skill absorption has been activated. Chapter 181 181. Irregr (2) Carbet. Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the High Lich, Carbet. I dont know what the ability of the High Lich, who protects the [Dark Zone] on the 4th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth, is. It was worth it. Carbet had never directly shown me his skills, and he never gave me a chance to show them off. I just guessed the ability rted to corpse art, such as the ability to control the ghost of Ghost Control (B+) acquired through power extraction. But The skill Dehumanization (A+) is created. The skills she learned from Calbet were different from what she expected. De-person? If you interpret the meaning, it seems to mean escaping from humans I couldnt quite figure out what kind of skill this was. What the hell is this? There was no need to hold on to my curiosity, so I immediately read the skill contents. and. Skill C Dehumanization (A+) Proficiency level C 21% Description C You can be an existence that has escaped from the human species. Effect C You start to break away from the human category. After seeing the effect, I narrowed my eyes. I dont know anything Except for being out of humans, I didnt get any information. No, its not like being like a lich It was all about being able to escape from the human species. So there was no way I could know anything. However, there was no change at the point of bringing the richs skill proficiency. Can I learn something if I contemte my body for a moment? I immediately closed my eyes and contemted my whole body. I searched for any differencespared to the previous one, but as a result, I could not find out what had changed. He said he was out of the human category Nothing has changed. Other than the absurdly grandiose effect, nothing had changed. This should be raised as a skill synthesis offering. Anyway, if you use it for synthesister, it will turn into a useful skill. After roughly organizing my thoughts, I looked around at the team members. All of a sudden, everyone was recovering their abilities step by step and was close to a state where they had finished maintenance. Well, when I was working on extracting divinity from monsters, I must have used all the stores dedicated to thebyrinth. Thats why you can finish maintenance so quickly. Looks like everyone is ready to go downstairs, so lets move. In response, I quickly advised my teammates to go down, and soon it was decided to go down unanimously without friction. No worries. Ive collected information about the downstairs from Carbet, so it should be fine. Even while working on divinity extraction, I obtained various information from Carbet. The 5th floor below this is ayerposed of fortress cities, a ce where demons and monsters coexist, and even that the dark lord lives in the center of the fortress city I heard all the information I needed to hear. All that remains is to go and verify the information yourself. And the purpose is to secretly infiltrate into the castle where the dark lord lives without having to spend any energy. Anyway, killing the dark lord is the condition to break through the hierarchy, just as the lower floor kills the lich If you assassinate the dark lord and go down to the 6th floor, there wont be a clearer that is as efficient as this one. You have entered the [Hell Fortress City] on the 5th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth. This is the ce where the demons who entered the Giant Tree Labyrinth formed a fortress city. . Kill the Dark Lord who rules this [Hell Fortress City] and go downstairs. However, if you are recognized by the Dark Lord, you can go downstairs without paying anything. By the way Challenger Come on! You are all surrounded! The moment I quickly went down the stairs and opened the door. An unforeseen situation urred that I had no time to respond to. If you obediently demand, there will be no bloodshed! A majestic fortress city built of gray bricks. Demons with horns and wings, as well as vampires and werewolves roaming the streets freely It would not be an exaggeration to say that it looked as if the information he had heard from Calbet was copied as it was. so thats the problem Why did I arrive at the fortified city right away? None of the information I heard from Carbet. As soon as you enter the hierarchy, the square of the fortress city appears right away? Before adjusting to this absurd situation, a female demon with wolf-like ears on her head shouted in session. All challengers, show sincerity by donating items! I didnt know why, but it was a sound that sent heat to my head, but I listened to it while holding back. If you do, the Dark Lord will let you go to the next floor! okay. Things are very well understood now. Really, I feel like I know the situation so well that it makes me furious. Is that why there was a condition in the system message that you can go down if you are recognized by the dark lord? Currently, they were demandingpulsory negotiations from the challengers. Those who give the item can go down without a fight, and those who do not give the item cannot go down. Even so, there was no guarantee that the item would be sent downstairs smoothly. To what extent do you view people as phnderers? It felt like the heat was rising in my head and the blood circting throughout my body was cooling. What can I do? With so many demons, it seems impossible to fight Katherine Bet said that while feeling intimidated when she saw the demons flocking to the forts city square. The female demon who shouted at me, perhaps hearing that, drew an arc around her mouth and pricked up her wolf ears. Rx! Because all the demons in this fortress city are good! If we keep order, we both benefit! Took. It was as if I heard the sound of something snapping in my head. Its ridiculous. Are all the people in this ss just good demons? No way. The only good monsters are dead ones. That fact hasnt changed, and I wont let it change. Mythic < Vampire Exorcist > is activated. Divine attack has the effect of < Cannot Regenerate >. Divine attack has the effect of < Exorcism >. My eyes lit up at that. Then he took out the sword of the new moon from his waist. Knock-! I and I dont negotiate with terrorists. I spat out the usible words I had heard before, and then activated my authority skill. All die. next moment. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Spirit Source Demonic Sword, Double is activated. Consumes divine power to increase the Power skill power by [4] times. Kwagwagwagwang! A tidal wave of sword spirit overflowed as if devouring the fortress city. *** Fighting is always close to winning. It was even more so if it was not a small-scale battle but arge-scale battle. So, I immediately refused to negotiate and used sword skills, but surprisingly the enemies didnt take much damage. Big! That bastard refused to negotiate! Get ready for battle! The female demon with wolf ears shouted after barely escaping from the tidal wave of the sword. Still, Im saying Im doing the basics. I was seriously thinking of killing them all, but seeing them alive like this made me feel like I should be serious. From now on, donte out from behind me. It was time to generously use all the skills he had learned while entering the giant treebyrinth. The skill Guardian is activated. The target and area to be protected are specified. A magical barrier is created in the target and area to be protected, and all stats increase by +1. In the blink of an eye, thend where the team was located was wrapped in a red barrier. In addition, each member of the team was given a small protective shield. Its worth using. With this, I was able to fight with a little peace of mind. Wait a minute! Are you going to fight alone like this again!? In response, Catherine Bet immediately tried toe out of the guardians realm, but she couldnt break through the shield of the area she had already designated as a skill. Anything is good, so you can give it a buff. Oh and dont get off the reservation. I slightly lowered my sword, then turned my head slightly to the back and continued. Because Im not sure if I can protect them once they leave the protected area. And soon, all of the power skills and other skills were activated, raising the power. What is that! Open this! We can be strong enough! Well, Catherine Bet shouted something in the middle, but the rest was quiet. It was worth it. He probably knows that he cant help me. Currently, other than Kim Seung-hoon, the other team members are not very helpful to me. Even Kim Seung-hun is barely serving one serving, so hes just staying there. Kim Seung-hun probably thinks its better to be inside than to give a variable to the battlefield. Of course, Katherine Bet would not be ignorant of this fact. The fact that I cant do anything because Im powerless is what divides me. I fully understand that feeling, but its true that it doesnt help Within a moment, I felt the various buffsing from my teammates and moved my body. All stats are temporarily increased by +4 by the authority Blessing of Fire The automatic defense function is used up to 8 times by the skill Wind Shield Performance has definitely improved. Hung-! If its just a slight flick of the foot, the body flies as if it has wings. At this point, it seemed that he had reached his abilities before entering thebyrinth. Oh, of course, its not really like that, but its just a feeling Where is the castle where the dark lord is located Even with this level of ability, I had enough strength to do what I wanted to do. Is that the royal castle over there? As soon as I was floating in the air, I found the ce where the royal castle was located, and I immediately used my magical power to a great extent. [The authority skill Management of Mana is strongly activated.] Then, with the footsteps that followed, I was able to leap again in the air. Paaang! Standing in the air. It was actually using the martial arts that I had seen before in the library of the lightsaber. The mastery of the power skill skill Magical Operation (A-) has increased by 0.01%. The mastery of the Power skill skill Magic Operation (A-) has increased by 0.01%. The Power Skill Magic Operation ( A-)s proficiency increased by 0.01% Well, it consumes a lot of mana, but it wasnt something to worry about. A human being can fly!? crazy! This is unbelievable! What are you looking at nkly! All those with wings, follow him! He goes to the royal castle! Damn the rain! Never let them go to the royal castle! If it cant fly, let it crash to the ground! Thats also true By the authority Song of Vengeful Spirits, the mind bes increasingly vulnerable.] The movement speed is temporarily reduced by the authority Companion of the Nether.] By the authority Hymn of Demons All damage received from demonic magic is increased by 4 times. The demons struggle to hold back even a little bit was like a blessing to me. The skill Manmaji Kingfħ֮ is activated. Yihwa grafting (ƻľ). Uh huh!? All of Guos powers have been extinguished!? What nonsense is this! How! How can humans have such demonic energy! How the hell! shit! Got it all! That guy has the ability to eliminate demons! Everyone evacuate! At the moment when the powers dependent on demonic powers disappeared all at once It absorbs all of the demonic energy and converts it into magical energy. Before I knew it, the whole body was filled with mana and it was moving to the tip of the sword. Dont you think its toote to avoid it now? At that, I blew a cold sneer at the demons There is no chance to go back to you anymore. Then, he swung the vast amount of mana transferred to the tip of the sword as if it were bursting at once. From now on, its my turn unconditionally. And Beep-! A flickering sound urred and the fortified city was dyed with white heat. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Its also very fancy. Chapter 182 182. Irregr (3) Before I knew it, the fortress city that looked like a fortress was half destroyed. Thebyrinth achievement Epic has been achieved. Thebyrinth score +10 is obtained. Dense graphite is scattered all over the city as if ck paint is dissolved in water.. .. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Cant y again! Damn me! Why did the ability to regenerate suddenly disappear!? Kuh! There is an ability to block regeneration out there! retreat! Bring reinforcements to win! What is it that crazy monster theres no way he can beat something like that The demons, like vampires or werewolves, howled in pain and began to retreat. Seeing that gruesome sight, I licked my lips. Its a bit unfortunate. It wouldnt have turned out like this if there had been a magical quality of the lightning attribute that had been awakened in the tower before. Perhaps the dark red thunder destroyed the city a little more. However, in the present situation, where there is a need to conserve magic power to some extent, this is the best. There is a limit to increasing the output range with Sword me, and the Pacheon skill was originally intended to increase the destructive ability rather than the output range I couldnt get better results than this. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to quickly go to the Dark Lord. Even with the Guardian skill he used to protect his teammates, his mana is already being cut into chunks. Its only thanks to the conversion of the demonic energy used by the enemies into magical power that I can be fine like this. But even this doesntst long. Absorbed themand of the vampire Rignar. Skill increased by 1.7%. Absorbed themand of the werewolf Mirne Skill increased by 1.1% Absorbs the spirits of the Lignar, a low-wing group Skill proficiency increases by 1.4% So Use multiple spirits to replenish magic. First of all, a dead enemy. It was an intention to absorb their spirits and endure this mad consumption of mana. Even if the spirit is consumed, the magic must remain intact. Otherwise, you wont be able to deal with a strong enemy like the dark lord. Hung-! I immediately kicked off the ground and moved to the fort in the center of the fortified city by applying the technique of walking in the air. It didnt take long. There is no one to stop me until reinforcements are called by the demons. good. Landing on the roof of the fort, I found an entrance to the inside of the fort . Well, there was no way anyway, so it didnt matter because I could smash the ceiling and go down. however. uh? Whoops! All damage inflicted on the fort is reduced by 68% by the special power Dark Barrier. As expected, the ceiling of the fort could not be easily broken. Damage mitigation It is an incredibly good power. He bothered me. I was going to go the other way because I thought going through the main gate would definitely be annoying As if I knew this would happen, the fort was equipped with ridiculous defenses to mitigate damage. Most likely, they will not be able to break through this defense and will be reinforced. But The skill Pacheon졯 is activated.] I had the ability to break through this crazy authority. Well, since its ignoring powers like damage reduction, the amount of mana consumed by Destruction is enormous, but Aaaaaaaaaaa! In return, they did not have to go through any more difficulties to open the way into the inside of the citadel. You did a good job restoring Pacheon. Satisfied with him, I fell to the hollowed-out ceiling of the fortress Who are you? Then, in a seat like a throne, I was able to face a demon with wolf ears that gave me a decadent feeling. You can rest assured. I said with a smile to the dark lord, who seemed to have no idea what the situation was. Its just a good challenger passing by. Its just a good robber passing by, so dont worry. *** Labyrinth achievement Uninvited Guest (Epic) has been achieved. Labyrinth score +10 points obtained. The dark lord looked at me with a bewildered face and then said something dumbfounded. Crazy guy Ive heard it so oftentely that I wasnt very impressed. I knew that challengers hade to the city for the first time in decades, but this is more serious than I thought. Suddenly, the dark lords face was full of anger. Im sure you said youd let me go downstairs if you just handed over the price? It was as if we could coexist with each other, but the tone was that I ruined this rtionship with my greed. Yes, I certainly did say that. But this was something I could refute as well. I dont know what to believe and give the demon a price. After extorting all the main weapons, you can attack us without epting the deal. even if I offered an item, I didnt expect much, and I was willing to ept even a small item. really? okay! Just one item! But where is the guy who attacks the citadel with it like this! Hmm Even the challengers from decades ago didnt show such tyranny! Do you even think of proud demons as vulgar monsters! I cut off the dark lords words before they continued and I let out a sneer. A proud demon? Even if he misunderstood something, it was as if he was firmly mistaken. No way. That would be the case too Theres no such thing as a demon tribe, right? The dark lord did not know that among the demons there were no proud people and no good people. However, the Dark Lord could not ept the reality even if he kindly informed him about the demons. Ive met many challengers so far, but Im new to a crazy guy like you. Is that so. So Jim will do everything in his power to prevent someone like you from installing more. I will fight with all my might I smiled at those words. Its nice to hear that. That should be the case Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +17. Special buff < Purifying Light > is activated. Damage dealt to evil beings by 100 % will rise. If that persones with all their strength, I can be stronger too. *** Immediately after activating the < Reversal Hero >, demonic energy suddenly began to flow over the Dark Lord. Coo-goo-goo-! Let the dark lords demons, which have been well taken care of, fill the hall in an instant . For some reason, ck spheres appeared around the dark lord, who was filled with determination. What is that? The ck orb that hovered around him was more threatening than the demonic energy felt by the dark lord. Seeing that it wasnt made of magic, it seems to be a special power I guess I need to be careful. First of all, rather thanunching a preemptive strike from this side, it seemed that we should know how strong the opponent was. Only then will we know how dangerous that ck orb can be. However, the other party did not use their hands directly, as if they had noticed such an intention. Whoa! The ck orbs that had been swirling around the dark lord were quickly fired like bullets. In response, I immediately swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword with sword energy wrapped around it, and soon the ck sphere was ridiculously easily cut off. Awesome! And that became a problem. Hwaaak! The skill Focus on Strike was temporarily sealed by the authority Magic Jade. As soon as the ck sphere was cut, it exploded like a smoke bomb, and one skill was sealed. Of course, it wasnt a very important skill, so the loss wasnt huge, but I never thought it would have the ability to seal it. After learning that if you touch that ck orb, you lose your power, a silent sound came out. It was worth it. Currently, the number of ck spheres near the dark lord is double-digit even if you estimate it If you hit all the ck spheres, in theory, at least 10 of your abilities will disappear. It would be the worst of the worst if the guardians skill to protect hisrades even disappeared. Is a head-to-head match itself unreasonable in the first ce Its really not an easy strong enemy. However, as the saying goes, even if the sky copses, there is a hole that will rise. Soon I was able to think of a solution to this hopeless situation without difficulty. If Im going to fight like this, Ill have to be petty too. He immediately smiled at the dark lord and turned around and started running away. bang! Perhaps they didnt know that an intruder woulde in the first ce, and the door to the pce was easily opened with a kick. Without a moments hesitation, I quickly ran to the escape route, even operating the renewal method. What! Where are you going, leaving your luggage behind? Come back, foolish challenger! Unfortunately, the dark lord didnt have anything to call a mobile machine, so he couldnt stop the escape. Well, in the first ce, there is a crazy power like a magical stone, but if there is an escape or escape prevention n, that would be a scam. If this happens, Ill be able to execute the n faster than I thought. After running to the outside of the fortress, demons in formation appeared. I think they were the ones who said they were bringing in reinforcements before Chi intruders! Everyone ready for battle! Today we fight for freedom and peace! Dont be afraid! There is only one enemy! Thats a challenger with sealed power! Drive with numerical superiority! Shouldnt we pay the price for the sins of countless demons right here! Cheer up everyone! I realized all over again how lucky I was. Demon tribes who were nning to go find them appear right away like this What kind of rolled rice cake is this? At this point, I wonder if the goddess of luck is smiling at me. Boss Skill skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 80%. Current skill stacking progress C [8] Wow! elerating his body with the power skill, he rushed at the demons, and soon after the twin swords were swung, the demons died helplessly. Chow! Of course, there were minor resistances, but nothing to worry about. All the powers that used magic were absorbed by Manmajiwang, and other skills were not even a threat. Absorbed the spirit of the vampire Ione. Skill increased by 0.9% Absorbed the spirit of the werewolf Dycro Skill increased by 0.7% Absorbed the spirits of the Renerna, a low-wing group Proficiency increased by 0.8% As soon as I finished the battle, I immediately absorbed the spirits scattered around me. [The authority Heolcheon Deep Gong is strongly activated.] Next, he absorbed arge amount of blood and replenished his physical strength and mana. No coo-goo-! The red steam overflowing his body had already surpassed the point of replenishing his mana. Huh It was the moment when his breathing became rough due to the rush of power that seemed to break his reason if he stopped concentrating even for a moment. This cowardly bastard! dont run away! It means to fight fair and square!! The Dark Lords cry was heard in his ears, and at the same time his figure was revealed. Well, it seems like they followed me all the way to this ce with just one run What the hell is this!? At the very least, it was toote. Because the demons who will protect him have already be food for my strength. Lets fight instead of running away? Looking at the dark lord engulfed in confusion, I curved the corners of my mouth like a crescent moon. That is what I am going to say. And coo-gu-gu-gu-! The moment when he generously discharged the aura of blood and deep air flowing through his body. This nonsense The Dark Lords face turned pale and he began to back away. I spoke to him in a voice full ofughter. Dont run away, Dark Lord. Dont be so frightened and face me. Now You mean thats fair, right? The position has beenpletely reversed. Chapter 183 183. Irregr (4) The battle with the dark lord did notst that long. Its thanks to the tremendous amount of physical strength and mana that he gained from the Bloodthirsty Deep Gong, but It was through themand of the demons that he was able to seize this decisive victory. The spirit has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user. The spirit of the vampire has disappeared. Magic Taoist). The ability to randomly seal one of the skills as soon as it touches the opponent has been rendered useless by Necromancy. Nonsense! What the hell is that ability! Why is my magic orb disappearing! Well, the dark lord was greatly astonished by the protective function of the necromancy, but there was nothing magical about me. All of this can be converted into stats . To be honest, I didntpletely eat the battle raw either. But the dark lord just howled because he didnt know that. Aaaaaaa! This fucking bastard! I will curse! I will take revenge even if I have to give my everything to the demon! Did you think it was impossible to bring victory? The dark lord desperately vowed revenge and quickly turned around and started running away. Perhaps after running away, Im fully prepared to try again. At first nce, it may seem unsightly, but its a surefire way to stall There was no way I would allow him to run away without even having a proper moving machine. Wow! The dark lords movement was sluggish, and I was able to easily subdue him. Keuuuuuuuu Well, I could have killed him right away, but I didnt want to do that right now. He would be like that too Revenge or whatever is not my business Because there is something to be gained from the dark lord. Didnt you say you stole items from the challengers? I smiled and said to the dark lord, whoined of pain with his face distorted. Give me all of that. Shouldnt we be rewarded for winning? *** Fortress city. This city, which is ssified as a full-fledged deep part of the giant treebyrinth, was developed in many ways. Its hard to believe that its a city only built by demons in abyrinth. Among them, the dark lords fortress has the grandeur of a medieval royal castle. There were facilities that were good enough to bepared to the grandeur of the forts exterior. So It made sense. Most of these castles were built with items stolen from challengers? This dark lord with a broken conscience has built a castle with the items of the challengers. Thats right The dark lord, who had simply been squeezed into several units, replied with drooping wolf ears. As expected, it shows the extreme of wasting resources like a demon. At that, I clicked my tongue and slowly inspected the fort, which was dotted with self-interest. What a waste of resources!? This castle is equipped with the best functionality that was created even while restoring the construction method of the demon castle that was actually fought! I didnt ask and Im not curious. So youre saying you used up most of the items youve collected so far to build a castle? Youre right, but Ill correct one thing. I didnt do this unnecessarily, I used the supreme technique Each time I add my personal opinion, the lifespan may decrease a little bit, but is that okay? sorry. You will be quiet now, so lower your fist now. Why do the demons have to raise their fists like this to keep their mouths shut? Thats a very pitiful habit. It was a headache in many ways because the cooperativeness (?) did note back to life until one hit. Guide me where the items are in the capital. I had no intention of spending a long time collecting rewards. It was worth it. Even after subduing him, demons were lurking everywhere in this fortified city. Its inefficient to hunt them down, so theyre not moving in earnest, but If I give them a lot of time, they mighte back to work again. If the hiding demons attack the team members protected by the guardians skill, it bes difficult. Therefore, as if I would not give the dark lord a chance, I grabbed his shoulder with my hand and gave him strength. What will happen if you see the purpose of wasting time Whoops! You know roughly, right? As soon as I let go of killing him openly, the answer came back that met my expectations. Oh I know! Ji Jim is a man who knows how to ept defeat! To know how to sumb to defeat Then why did you try to run away? Well, there were some ridiculous remarks, but I felt like it was okay. Thats it. He did not dare to hold onto his horse, but followed the guidance of the dark lord to explore all over the castle. The look wasnt bad. It makes you feel as if you are visiting any museum. Even unlike the museum, the best part was that you could get what you wanted directly. What is this? After quietly following the dark lord, a room withrge red marbles suddenly appeared. The marble, which is unusual even at first nce, seems to be an item Speaking of this crystal ball, it is an item of a challenger who climbed to the 19th floor 170 years ago Ignoring it, I ced my hand on the marble. and. I received a sacrifice of magic amplification beads (A+) from myself. The corresponding items are reced with divine power and stored in the heart. Immediately through the seal of offering, the power was umted in the heart by recing it with divine power. Maybe its an A+ grade item, so the amount of increase in divine power is quite substantial. Of course, it was too much to raise to the level of divinity, but growing little by little like this had its own taste. It would be worth seeing if all the items in this city were reced with holy power. As he raised his expectations, he suddenly heard a cry from the Dark Lord. The demonic amplifying orb! A treasure that cannot be obtained even with a thousand gold! oh oh oh oh! He was holding the back of his neck and acting as if he was about to pry his eyes out. To make a fuss with only one A+ grade item It was to the point where I was worried about whether the Dark Lords spirit would be safe. That would be the case Now guide me to the ce where the other items are. The collection of rewards has only just begun. *** Koo-Goo-Gung! I smiled as I watched the dark lords citadel slowly crumble. I got so many things. He took the dark lord and collected items installed throughout the fort and made a lot of profit. Now, it is safe to say that the divine power umted in the heart has risen to the brink of a grade increase. In addition, it was possible to obtain elixir-type items and raise some of the magical abilities. Thebyrinth achievement City Plunder (Unique) has been achieved. The Labyrinth score is +15. The skill Plunder (C+) is created. Even the fortress was demolished and the Unique achievement was achieved. . Even if it is two birds with one stone or three birds with one stone, there is no problem. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe that Jims castle will be Is it because he wiped out the items as they were to the point of destroying the entire castle? The dark lordughed sobbing as if he had lost his mind, and then knelt down and asked me. I will sacrifice my life, so please dont destroy this city!! I ask you not to destroy the city They regard people as incarnations of destruction. I couldnt understand why he suddenly thought of destroying the city when he had nothing to gain. Of course, the story would have been different if there was something like a breaking sword that could destroy the city and take advantage of it but at least I had no intention of destroying the city right now. Please, leave the demons in the city and the city as it is!! But at this point, even if he had no intention of breaking it, he wanted to bully the Dark Lord. Is that the attitude of asking a person? Respectful words. I beg you, please dont break it Suddenly, I remembered the female demon with wolf ears that I encountered as soon as I first entered the fortress city. The demons in this fortress city were all demons with sophistry that they were good beings. Because they are kind demons At that time, I was indignant that the only good monsters were dead ones, but now I think I can admit it. Well, if this became good, it must be good. The vicious demons are bound to be reformed to those with experience who have reformed (?) even the fallen fairies. As I was feeling proud of it, I noticed a ck iron gate in the ce where the fort had copsed. What is that again? Its in the form of a door attached to the ground as if it leads to the basement Gooooh! For some reason, thick demonic energy was pouring out of the ck iron gate, making it ufortable to see. To the point where I wonder why I didnt know that such a thing existed until now. I immediately asked the Dark Lord what it was, and the answer came back. a sanctuary. Inside, there is an altar where you can offer sacrifices to the devil. It seems to be a ce rted to God, but I became interested. Is there anything else besides the altar inside? there is a holy relic. But I cante in. okay? Why do you think I can? Wait a minute! fist! Put down your fists! Theres a reason for this! Please listen! I thought the dark lord would change his mind if he got hit once . There was a reason why the dark lord couldnt enter it. Humans are not allowed to enter the sanctuary, and there is a waiting time for entry. Waiting time for entry? Once a demon enters there, it cannot enter the sanctuary for a month. Is that why you cant go in? Thats right Its tricky. Although there is no Fire Dragons eye that can distinguish between truth and lies Considering that the dark lords eyes and sense of dissimrity were not felt, the probability of falsehood was faint. Of course, that didnt mean that I would believe it straight away that it was the truth. I looked at the dark lord and said. Open it. yes? Open it to see if there is really a waiting time for entry. All right. Surprisingly, the dark lord followed my instructions without resistance and soon pulled the iron gate attached to thend. Whoa! It was so strong that it even made the sound of the iron door being forcibly pulled. But the iron door did not open. Take a look. Its not a lie, is it? You cant go inside But Ill open it just in case. No, I cant do it, but why would you do that p! Achieved the Labyrinth Achievement Legend Acquiresbyrinth score +100 The total amount of [HP] and [MP] increases by 40. The ck iron gate is ridiculously easy opened Its so simple that I cant understand why this was a legend-levelbyrinth achievement. Can it? In response, I immediately looked at the dark lord asking for an exnation. By the way It was a cow! After all, theres no way a guy like you could be a human! This devils son of a bitch! Instead of exining, he smiled when he saw that he soon began to treat me as a fellow countryman. aha! I dont know anything yet I dont think I can remember why this happened, but dont worry. It was possible to be certain of this. If you do, you will remember. If you beat the dark lord, you will know the answer. Chapter 184 184. Irregr (5) Sanctuary. A ce where you can offer sacrifices to demons and at the same time inject divine power into demons. Currently, the most interesting ce in this fortified city, the sanctuary, cannot be opened by humans. By the way Im not human? The sanctuary was opened to me when it should not have been open now. Its very simple too. Thats right After defeating the Dark Lord, I kindly asked him a few questions, and the exnation came back. However, the exnation was not immediately epted. Are demons lying when they open their mouths? It was worth it. What do you mean by not being human The Dark Lord was iming that I was a demon, not a human. It was absurd. So far, I have never been outside of the human species. If you look at the abilities you have, youll probably have taken off the skin of a human a long time ago To be honest, theres no way you cant be treated as a human just because you have this much ability. Since it was said to be a demons sanctuary, there may be other conditions. Maybe it wasnt necessarily a demon to open it. It could have been a rescue that was open to those who had killed more than a few demons, or it could have been a rescue that was open to those with divine power. The number of cases that can be guessed at present is quiterge. Therefore, I asked the dark lord to tell me everything I knew about the sanctuary, but I didnt like the answer that came back. No, seriously, how many times do you make me say that I dont even know Jim anymore!! Then why is the sanctuary open? Thats because youre not human, so youre open! And why did you suddenly stop being honorable? Why do I have to respect my fellow demons! Jim is the king of demons! . Seeing that the words that came back did not change no matter how many times I knocked on them, I think it was real. In the end, ording to the Dark Lord, I was just treated as a not a human, but a demon for some reason. . Its not like they suddenly treated me like a demon, and its not a story with extremely low credibility. After thinking about it for a while, I had a sh of realization. No way And Skill C Depersonalization (A+) Proficiency level C 21% Exnation C You can be a being that is out of the human species Effect C In the human category Its starting toe off gradually.] When he realized the skill he had stolen from the high-rich Calvet on the 4th floor, his mouth twitched. driving me crazy. I didnt know because there wasnt much to say about the change in the body. As a higher-level effect of necromancy, skill absorption inherits proficiency seemed to be a problem. Since the high-rich Carbets skill proficiency was added to the skill that allowed him to escape the human species, he was treated as a demon. Then, does it mean that I am a demon in terms of the system? Of course, this worked pretty well for now. Originally, it became possible to enter the sanctuary, which would have been impossible to enter unless it was a demon. But more than that, it made me anxious that the system wasnt treating me as a human anymore. . After thinking for a while while concentrating, I came to a conclusion. Lets erase itter with skill synthesis and use it as much as we can for now. I immediately gave instructions to the Dark Lord. Anyway, since the sanctuary is open, you should go and see it. Guide me. Okay. The Dark Lord began guiding meekly, perhaps knowing that no matter what I said, it would not work. I went down the gloomy stairs, and it wasnt long before the suffocating air rushed in . Is it Magi? If I had the explorers handmade gloves (B+) I had bought before entering the giant treebyrinth, I would have been able to turn all of these into an advantage but since I didnt have the items I originally used, Magi choked me. Of course, [HP] doesnt wear out enough to stop breathing, and its just a little unpleasant, but This much even though King Manmaji has the magic resistance. Considering the tremendous magic resistance generated by the newly acquired skill of the Manmaji King, it was a tremendous miasma. The skill King of the Manmaji King is activated. Absorbs all demonic energy and converts it into magic . didnt go By the time I continued my steps, a new space was revealed. We have arrived at the sanctuary. The underground sanctuary was equipped with an altar centered on the ck spring water from which thick demonic energy flowed. To him, I looked around with curious eyes and asked a question. They say its a sanctuary, but what the hell is this ce for? It is a ce where offerings are made to the Demon God to receive holy relics and to infuse divinity into demons. Sacred injection? Yes. All monsters in this giant treebyrinth can receive divinity from that spring water. This is what I heard from High Rich Carbet on the 4th floor. Come to think of it, I heard that the dark lord can inject divinity into monsters So thats why he went so far as to kill all the monsters on the 4th floor. I never thought I would be able toe to this ce in person. Isnt there no cost to injecting divinity into demons or monsters? To some extent. However, neither demons nor monsters can absorb divinity beyond their own capacity. Why? It must be because it is a waste. There is no need to give more divinity to those who cant use holy power properly. It is more reasonable than you think. The strong are infused with a lot of divinity, and the weak are infused with less divinity It was interesting. Its not that divinity is given ording to ones religious beliefs The amount of divinity granted is determined by whether or not one has the power to use the divine power well. At this point, I couldnt help but try it. So Wait a minute! Why are you suddenly going to the spring!? Didnt you say you came to get the holy relic! I immediately put into practice my greedy thought of wanting to enter the spring. The dark lord said as if he was worried about what he would do again, but Dont worry. Ill take the holy relic when Im done with it. Dont do anything dishonest! You will be cursed by the Demon God! To be honest, the only thing I was worried about was the Dark Lord, and I had nothing to do with it, so Iughed. What is a curse? Ive never seen a Godhead like that before. I knew this because I had already experienced contact with the godhead several times. No matter what you do in this ce, you will not be cursed by the godhead. Well, I dont know if its not the godhead himself, but using the believer The devils followers in this fortress city are in a state of near annihtion, so theres nothing to worry about. If I am not a human ording to the systems judgment The next moment. You mean I can receive divinity too? I immediately threw myself into the spring water. *** As soon as I fell into the ck spring, a message appeared in my field of vision. You have entered the special area Macheon(ħȪ) Your body begins to erode rapidly in demons . I read the message while killing the starting demon with the Manmaji King. Except for the demonic erosion, it proceeds as I knew. overallbat power. I could guess what this meant. Its probably a concept calcted bybining all the stats with skills and powers. Necromancy power extraction works in a simr way, so I can infer it to some extent. Of course, like Necromancy, Im not sure ifbat power is calcted by the number of skills or powers Conditions satisfied . will be able to Shoot ah-! At the same time as the flow of water gushing up from the depths of the spring, I felt a strange power dwelling in my body. It was divinity. Is this the demons divine power It was surprising to feel the chaotic divine power rushing at random. It was because, among the divinities I had seen so far, there was no one whose aura was as intense as this. Except for the chaotic aura, divinity itself is very close to pure power. Well, those who properly absorbed this might have mental problems, but it was definitely useful anyway. In addition Thanks to the pure power, its not that difficult to eat the divinity. The devils divinity could be eaten as much as he wanted through the divinity of transcendence. Kwadde! If you squeeze out the chaotic energy itself once and shake it off, it bes a great divine power and umtes in your heart. After repeating the process several times, a system message came to mind before I knew it. The grade of the authority Divine Power (A-) will grow to the grade of Divine Power (A). The authority Divine Power (A) can now be strengthened by integrating < Myth >. growth. As if the divine power that had been umted until now was shining, it eventually grew. Its amazing. What was even gained through the growth of this divine power was the integration and strengthening of < Myth >. Is it an ability that allows me to recycle all useless < myths >? Well, how < Shinhwa > will be integrated and strengthened is still unknown, but we will know sooner orter. How helpful is the newly added divine ability. I smiled at him enjoying the pleasure of growing up. Really, the enemies rted to demons give generous rewards. At this point, I felt good about being treated as a kind of demon. But that was only for a moment. [You have an insatiable greed for a child who has just established divinity! ] I was horrified when I heard a voice that seemed to resonate with the soul in my head without any precursor. !? It was worth it. [I understand why the God of Darkness or the God of Proof is paying attention to you! Ha ha ha! It is definitely an unusual divinity! ] Because this wasnt the current situation I assumed. [Its definitely surprising that you have more than three divinities! ] I thought while listening to the extremely tense voice for some reason. I didnt know that the Demon God would reveal himself when I took the divine power [ Oh, by the way, it was fun toe all this way through being a demon but having a body that wasnt a demon! ] Really [I liked it! Challenger Han Seong-yoon! ] Nothing is going the way you think. [I will offer you an alliance! ] Irregr appeared at an unexpected timing. Chapter 185 185. Ground Keeper (1) Demon God. It was a godhead that I had heard of many times, even if I had never seen it myself. In a general image, its a demonic deity worshiped by demons and monsters It s never appeared before, and it doesnt seem to show much interest in me, so I didnt care. But it was just an illusion. [I heard a lot of stories from other gods! ] The demon was extremely interested in me. [A challenger who passed the trials of the God of Proof and was recognized by the God of Darkness! ] Thats also very burdensome. [Isnt this a talent that TOP would love! ] Of course, its impossible to undo spilled water anyway, so I didnt regret it. Instead, he immediately picked an interesting topic and led the conversation. What does it mean to be a talent that the tower will like? I might be able to dig up some information that could be of help to me. [This is the literal meaning! Top loves a mighty deity like you! ] By the way [Have you got an answer!? ] This fucking drank didnt really tell anything about it except that the tension was ridiculously high. No, I want you to know why the tower likes mighty deities Even if its a mighty deity, its not that everyone is good, its that they like mighty deities from challengers. It wasplicated. I didnt form a specific sentence because I thought my thoughts would be caught, but this demon was more clever than I could feel from the outside. At least its not a stupid opponent. So its better to switch to another topic than to try a few times here [Hahaha! You must be mistaken! Top likes a strong god even if he is not a challenger! hmm! thats for sure! ] just as I was about to think, the demon smiled broadly and handed me nonsensical information. Even that, as if reading my thoughts, poked questions very precisely. Could you have read my thoughts? To that, I wondered if a demon god could even read the thoughts of a deep consciousness [Cant it be that!? Just guessing! You can make as many inferences as this! ] Contrary to concerns, it didnt seem like it would go that far. Just seemed to have a higher intelligence than I thought. This is the part to pay attention to. Is that so. [You seem to be curious about a lot, but as you would expect, I cant tell you much! ] Ah yes. [Sorry!! ] By the way, Im conveying the words directly in my head anyway, so why are you talking loudly? [ No!! Oh, do you want to be!? Before bing a godhead, I had a habit of saying this! ] I have heard that it is impossible to tell whether the extremely developed concept quality is real or fake. Thats exactly what the current situation was. This Demon God used a simple and ignorant way of speaking, but at the same time, unexpectedly, he didnt say important information. Maybe this tone is also used after thorough calction [Oh, but now that I think about it, there is no reason to share these questions!? Im only here to offer you an alliance! I am! ] No, I dont think thats the case again, and Im not sure. I thought about whether to talk a little more and get information or ask about the alliance proposal right away. And If youvee to propose an alliance anyway, wouldnt you mind telling me this much? Noticing that this was a question and answer session that rarely came along, I chose to gather information. Even if this fails, it doesnt matter. Either way, Ive tried it anyway. In addition Even while I was collecting information like this, I was umting in my body the divinity that springs from the spring. Namely-. Even if this information collection bes meaningless, if you can suck up divinity in the meantime, it is meaningful as it is. Tell me at least why the tower wants a mighty deity and wants to give it to me, a challenger. [Are you asking a difficult question!? ] Otherwise, there is no point in asking. [Thats right! Hmmm! Why does the tower want a mighty deity! I cant tell you much about ! ] I know. [But I can tell you to some extent! But its a trivial truth that wont be much fun! ] The truth that there is no such thing as fun. As for why the tower wants a mighty deity, he said so [The tower wants a transcendent in the true sense of omniscience and omnipotence! ] The words that followed were not something that could be easily dismissed and passed on, as the demon had said. A transcendental person? [ okay! The Tower wants a transcendental person who can use it for its own purposes! However, in the dimensions that exist in this universe, there is no omniscient transcendence! ] Even the gods are not omnipotent, so they arecking. [ yes! So the tower hopes for an omnipotent god, but so far no such existence has appeared! ] No way [As you guessed, the tower hopes for a real transcendent and grows challengers! ] . The truth was more iprehensible than I thought. The tower was already an existence close to omnipotence. But you wished for an omniscient and omnipotent god that could be used for the purpose of the tower? I thought it was contradictory for some reason, but soon I realized one thing. The demon god said that there is no omnipotent deity in all dimensions of this universe. So The tower does not correspond to an omnipotent deity It was also possible to interpret it like this. [ answer! The tower is stronger than an ancient deity, but isnt that the one who transcends omnipotence!? ] It is a shocking truth. A tower capable of giving even divinity directly is not something like an omnipotent transcendence. If the tower itself is not a transcendentalist, then how the hell is it going to create a transcendentalist? The question that I thought over and over again in the thought, The tower did not be a transcendental person, but the power to create a transcendental person did not lead to the end. [Ive told you everything I can tell you, so shouldnt you think for yourself from now on? ] The absurdly high tension cooled in an instant, and the voice became cold. [I liked you as a new deity. But you as an ally is a different matter. ] I realized that. That there is no one who is easy going among Godheads. And [Want to know more? ] At the same time as those words resounded, the water in the fountain gathered in front of my eyes and took some form Shoot ah!! Spring water has be a sharp-eyed male demon with a pair of horns on his head. [There is no reward without cost. You must have learned enough about this at the Tower. ] Soon, he drew an arc at the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand as if asking for a handshake. [ Say it again. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ask for an alliance And the purpose of this alliance is one. ] But [ Ruining the contest between the gods in the giant treebyrinth. ] Those eyes werentughing. [In return, I will give you the reward from the battle of the gods. ] to the point of giving goosebumps. *** Give and Take. I didnt hate this concept. The fact that someone else gives me something is a will to generate profits through me . It was the same this time too. [The alliance is formed! do not worry! We can get what we want from each other! Hahaha! ] Before I knew it, the demon was smiling heartily, erasing the cold eyes. Im not sure which one is the real one. The important thing is that I eat the rewards that will be in thepetition of the gods. [Thepetition starts on the 7th floor, so it would be good to grow as much as possible until then! ] After those words, the spring water in the form of a demon god immediately lost its shape. Injection of divinity ording to overallbat power has ended. Since the infusion of divinity ended before long, I immediately went outside. Chow! As I split the current and came out of the ck spring, the Dark Lord came to me startled. What the hell is this how far did it suck the devils divinity His pupils were shaking quite a bit, as if he had noticed that he had absorbed a lot of divinity even when he pretended to. But I had no intention of giving an honest answer there. Its okay, lets go. going? Where? Where is it? We should go to the ce leading to the 6th floor. wasnt it meant to kill Jim? It seems that the dark lord expected to die sooner than he thought. Well, maybe the reason why he didnt run away was because he wanted to prolong the lives of the demons in the city. Its a fact that you dont even have to hear. Originally, I would have tricked him and killed him right before he crossed the hierarchy. But I made an alliance with your main god. So from now on, demons wont kill. In this alliance, the Demon God asked me to refrain from killing demons as much as possible. Of course, it was said that it didnt matter if the demons attacked first or if the enemies without intelligence like monsters died but the dark lord had no problem in crossing the hierarchy even if he didnt have to kill it, so I thought of keeping him alive. What is that The Dark Lord frowned as if he did not understand. But that was only for a moment. Without saying a word, I rolled up the sleeve of my left arm and showed it to him, and then I heard horror from the dark lord. Its probably because of the tattoo-like pattern on his left arm. Because this is the side ie from the alliance with the Demon God. The seal of the Demon Goddess! How could an intruder like you do something like this! I told you. Ive be an ally with your main god. Its like a down payment. That kind of thing Once youve roughly understood it, lets move. i get it. Do as the devil wills. Should I say its a demon-only high pass? I heard that most conflicts can be avoided if you show this to the demons. In fact, seeing that the dark lord was more docile than before, it didnt seem like a lie. Well, in the first ce, I dont think theres any reason to engrave these things as lies . The skill Guardian is deactivated. I immediately deactivated the skill to cancel the barrier surrounding the team members. you! What have you been up to!? I could have been helpful! Why are people like this! As soon as the barrier was lifted, Catherine Bet burst out with a nagging voice like a quick-fire gun Im sorry. I did this because I didnt have the confidence to protect you. Oh no! Not sorry! ugh! I want you to know the feelings of those who are a little worried! I will be careful from now on. . I didnt intend to take it one by one, so I took care of it roughly and turned around. Now that weve obtained the Dark Lords approval, lets go downstairs. And View the [privileges] of the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. As soon as I moved, I activated the special shop in the shop dedicated to thebyrinth. Currently umted Labyrinth Achievements are 372 points. Maybe it was because she had been collecting them quite desperately, she had umted points close to 400 points. At this level, I can buy most of the things I want. So Read all the perks you can buy. Chapter 186 186. Track Keeper (2) View all the perks that can be purchased. I decided to use the points umted so far during the movement time So instead of needlessly looking around the store dedicated to thebyrinth a bit more, I went straight to the perk shop. entered. There are 4 perks to buy, but I cant buy all of them. I also achieved two legend-level achievements, so I collected more points than I thought, but I still didnt have enough points. So, now was the time to choose. Which perk will you get? [Category: Skill] Exclusive Skill Book (SSS+) [Description: Creates an exclusive skill optimized only for the user] [Price: 100 points] [ssification: Weapon] Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+) [ Description : Generates a dedicated spell optimized only for the user] [Price: 100 points] [ssification: Power] Power Evolution Potion (SSS+) [Description: Randomly selects and evolves one of the possessed powers] [ Price: 100 points] [ssification: Holy] Absolute Preservation (SSS+) [Description: Under no circumstances will you ever lose an ability once possessed] [Price: 100 points] First of all, one perk is confirmed for purchase was in a state Absolute preservation must be bought. Whoever I am dealing with has this, and I will never be weak. Perhaps, through absolute preservation, the specs before entering thebyrinth could be restored. However, Im guessing that the ability not to be lost with the Absolute Preservation perk is the ability after acquiring the perk. It would be a very hopeful observation to even regain the abilities before entering thebyrinth. Thats why its essential to develop some level of ability. So, I immediately decided on three perks that I could buy at the store. In fact, if you were asked to choose three of these four perks, it was pretty obvious what you would buy. Purchased the exclusive privilege Exclusive Skill Book (SSS+) by consuming 100byrinth points. Purchased exclusive privilege Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+) by consuming 100byrinth points. I purchased Absolute Preservation (SSS+) by consuming 100byrinth points. Skills and spells. Except for absolute preservation, which is basically decided to buy, these two are the things you need to buy. Of course, there is also a power evolution potion, but I was a little hesitant to buy this. Even if you havent restored all of your powers, why are you buying power evolution potions? You may regret it no matter where you use it, so it would be right to buy itter. Afterpleting a few achievements, you can buy Power Evolution potions anyway. Hung. As soon as I finished purchasing the privilege, a book and a ring imbued with antiquity appeared in the air. Absolute conservation was applied right away, so no change urred. It was such a simple application that I really doubted if this was the end But I just need it to work wellter. I didnt have to procrastinate, so this was fine as it was. Exclusive skill book Rating: SSS+ Special book that can create original exclusive skill. When the book is stained with blood, it analyzes the users temperament for 14 days and creates an original skill. Exclusive skill book Order Ring Rating: SSS+ A special ring that can create an original exclusive spell. Once equipped, the exclusive spell ring is permanently bound to the user. Depending on the wish, the original spell is given to the ring. Snatching the items that appeared in the air and looking at the description window, there was nothing strange. This is a description that is close to what you saw in the shop window. Its just It took 14 days to create an exclusive skill Is it because it created an original skill that can be used exclusively? There was a waiting time for skill creation in exclusive skill books purchased at the store. Thats not a short waiting time of 14 days. To be honest, I didnt like it, but I had no choice but to lick my appetite. As long as there is a waiting time, I hope that good skills will be created. In response, I bit my finger lightly to bleed out and buried it in a dedicated skill book. Challenger Seong-yoon Han is registered as a user of the exclusive skill book (SSS+). And The exclusive skill book (SSS+) starts analyzing the temperament of Seong-yoon Han, the challenger. The book disappeared in an instant without a sound. After 14 days, a skill suitable for the temperament of challenger Han Seong-yoon will be created. After that, no more messages came to mind. The exclusive skill book will not change until the 14 days pass. But that didnt mean that even the spell-generating ring couldnt be used right away. Orders are created ording to wishes Perhaps the spells created in the ring are greatly influenced by the users thoughts Its fun. I was curious. I wear an exclusive spell ring (SSS+). If this ring really gives me a spell that can make my wishe true The exclusive spell ring (SSS+) will be permanently bound to the challenger Han Seong-yoon. What kind of spell does this happen? Exclusive Spell Ring (SSS+) creates an exclusive spell suitable for Challenger Seongyun Han. *** Chiuu. The moment when a strange sound rang out from the blue ring worn on the index finger of the right hand. A system message popped up : The exclusive spell < Despise the Strong > will be created on the exclusive spell ring (SSS+). A red light quietly flowed from the ring. . It doesnt seem like an extremely good spell was created, but It seems that at least the minimum expectations have been met. The performance of the generated spells wasntpletely disappointing either. The performance of the dedicated spell itself was simple. Increases all stats and all skill efficiency by 100%. This was the ability of the < Contempt for the Strong > spell. Of course, there are conditions. Is it a one-shot reversal card that can only be used against the strongest of the strongest enemies This spell could only be activated when dealing with an enemy several times stronger than the user. However, the durationsted until the end of the battle, so it wasnt bad. Its okay. Whether climbing the tower or descending thebyrinth there were many situations where I had to face strong enemies anyway. So there was no reason why it wouldnt be good to have a spell that could be used together with < The Warrior of Reversal >. As soon as I finished the maintenance, I saw a staircase that allows you to move between floors. This is the center of this fortified city. If you go down here, you can go to the 6th floor. The dark lord looked at me with an unwilling face for some reason. It seems to be the attitude of doubting whether he will really save himself Lets go now. The reason why I had to kill him was gone, so I immediately waved my hand and issued a congrattory order. But even so, the dark lord asked me a question with a confused face as if he couldnt believe it. Are you really going to save me? Its a promise, so theres nothing you can do about it. At that time, the demon god told me that he would give me the reward the gods wanted to get from this giant treebyrinth. In exchange, he begged the demons in the giant treebyrinth to be saved. So, I had no intention of killing the dark lord unnecessarily. Of course, I coveted the divine power a little, but I sucked enough of it from the spring and came back. Ive said everything since Ive risen to the level of divinity. Ive absorbed enough to make a decent number of prospective apostles To be honest, I get scolded no matter how much I am to kill even the dark lord. Well, remorse is also remorse, but it was better not to kill it even if it could break the alliance with the Demon God. In many ways. I didnt know you were serious. I never imagined that I would be able to live on Dont hate it. Im fine even if I give up my head here and leave. You crazy man! Jim is not okay! What do you think of demons! A gift box with generous rewards? Im kidding. Its a prank thrown with the mind to arouse the hard atmosphere, but is it that the emotions are dry like a demon? Thats right. No, its not like a joke. Jim will return now. Enough then. The dark lord, whose face was paler than before, quickly moved away from me. Katherine Bet, who saw that, nced at me and then said in a puzzled tone. How many times have you plowed that demon before you react like that? well. Ive never been to He must have been frightened by my words for no reason because he was a demon. As I shrugged at him, Kim Seung-hoon opened his mouth in a puzzled manner. Doesnt that demon need to be killed? Havent you killed all the demons so far? I did, but I think I should keep it alive. I dont know if its a skill or an authority but it looks like theres something to be gained by saving the demons. Exactly. I was worried about how to exin that the demons were not killed due to the alliance with the demons. Since Kim Seung-hoon took care of it, I was just happy. Oh Chun-seok also nodded as if he understood what he was saying and added. We have to understand that we are in the position of being carried by Sungyoon. We have nothing to think about. There was no need to say anything more thanks to the atmosphere of everyone agreeing with those words. then lets go down now. Then, I took my teammates and went down the dark stairway leading directly below. You are eligible to go down the 5th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [Hell Fortress City], so you will receive a reward. Sincerely, I was able to finish my selection quickly. The skill Counterattack Shield is released from the seal.] Choose a counterattack shield that can be used as a defense skill and counter skill. The power of Blessing Index is released from the seal. In preparation for the ability to shake the mind, even the Bright Quality Index was recovered. To be honest, I thought Starlight or Punishment would be fine as a skill to recover, but Rather than using Starlight, it would be better to use a counter and minor version of the lightsaber as a counterattack shield. In addition, skills such as Punishment were extremely strong against demons, but they were no longer needed. Because of the contract with the demon, there is no need to fight the demon. So, the counterattack shield was suitable for the current skill to be restored. After restoring my abilities, I agonized over whether to use skill synthesis, but soon decided not to. This is because the materials to be reced for skill synthesis are iplete. In order not toe out of the same skill in the synthesis, thebination of each other must be carefully considered . For now, skill synthesis is a keep. Maintenance was just finished. The team members alsopleted their ability recovery faster than me, as if they had adapted to it now. It was amazing. In the previous floor, he said that he had to carefully decide which ability to recover, but it was unexpectedly fast. When I asked Katherine Be directly why she finished the maintenance so quickly, she answered right away. Thats because the tech tree is aligned to support you. I dont even care about self-defense anymore. It was a grunting voice, as if he was a bit irritated, but In the end, it was like giving up his life to me and going all-in. Even though it seemed a little out of ce, I felt a little better because I was trusted like this. Then you must live up to expectations. After saying that, I led my teammates and went straight down the stairs I entered the [Cradle of Proof] on the 6th floor of the giant treebyrinth. This is a specialyer governed by the God of Proof. The Earth dimension and the Moorim dimension can jointly face the trials . However, if the repelling contribution of the [Cloned Challenger] is 10% or less, you will be expelled from the Labyrinth. I read the exnation given in the system message and my eyes twinkled. Ayer governed by the God of Proof? It was only now that the traces of the gods began to be felt in earnest. Whether this is good or bad, it means that we are getting closer to the depths of the giant treebyrinth. I couldnt help but feel my heart pounding with excitement. But that was only for a moment. Its a joint trial between the Earth level and the Moorim level. Looking across the graynd, there were many people around who were armed differently than the Hunters. Savage people like worms are scattered here and there worms who do not know either martial arts or cooperation. A joint ordeal with bug-like bastards who have never studied martial arts? Does this make sense? under! joint ordeal? Talking nonsense. Cooperation with bugs who dont even know martial arts is impossible. Murim people. The challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension each looked around at those around them and clicked their tongues. About 40 Moorim people on the 6th floor Considering that there were around 10 challengers from the Earth level, it was a huge number. In fact, considering what Ive done while descending, it was also strange that there were around 10 challengers from the Earth level. Its because they didnt let the challengerse down the hierarchy easily. It probably means that the challengers at the earth level are extremely talented. So, to some extent, interest welled up in them but that feeling soon faded. It was worth it. Random replication is performed targeting the strongest challengers currently on the 6th floor. [Cloned challengers] skills are fixed at the level before entering the giant treebyrinth. Powerful enough that different dimensions must work together. Because the enemy is about to appear. When it was said that it was random replication for the strong, the tension rose at once. Copying a challenger with specs before entering the giant treebyrinth Its an ordeal that makes you nervous even if you dont want to be nervous. Its a situation where a great strongman like the heavenly horse that we saw in the 17th floor trial before could appear It was best to hope that among the strong ones, the least skilled ones would be cloned. But Selectionpleted. A [duplicated challenger] is created with the specs of the selected challenger before entering the giant treebyrinth. For some reason, whenever I wished so earnestly, I had no luck. Its also very huge. Deed! At the same time the mirror in the center of the gray earth trembled, a human figure appeared from beyond. Seeing that, I had no choice but to hold my breath as if my brain had temporarily stopped. That would be the case too A challenger belonging to the earth dimension [Han Seong-yoon] has been created. What appeared from the mirror was the worst of the worst enemies. Chapter 187 187. Keeper (3) Possibility. In this world, no matter how insignificant it is, there is a chance that it wille true. Even if A challenger belonging to the Earth dimension [Han Seong-yoon] has been created. Even if that is the worst of the worst cases. I feel like Im going to stop breathing. How the hell is this possible? Most of the challengers from the Moorim dimension are stronger than those from the Earth dimension. It is a fact that can be easily inferred by looking at the Murim people around. There is an absurd belief that forcibly clings to martial arts without using skills Even considering that useless belief, the challengers of the Moorim dimension who know how to use martial arts can be said to be strong. So, I thought that one of the Moorim people would be selected as the [Cloned Challenger] on the 6th floor. No matter how you think about it, the probability is that it will be a little more feasible. (!) The level of [Cloned Challenger ] is so powerful that it doesnt match the ss level. ended up with Damn it I focused on the cloned self that emerged from the mirror with my teeth clenched. Looking at the emotionless eyes like the replicas I saw at the tower, I dont think I have an ego Perhaps my skills and powers, as well as my skills, are the same as mine before entering the giant treesbyrinth. That fact alone made that replica more dangerous than any other enemy. Should I be lucky out of misfortune? Replica didnt have any items. Even the clothes he was wearing were gray and made of unknown fabric At least, it was as if he was no longer cornered by the items. Perhaps realizing this, the Murim people began to ridicule and look down on the replica. Phehe! How absurd! The 6th floor ispletely free to eat! Its a pity, Im sorry. I have no interest in beating the weak. To kill someone who doesnt even know martial arts. joy. Its the first time Ive seen the bad taste of calcting the contribution to catching a bug. It will bother you. No, rather than the fact that he didnt have any items, he seemed to look down on him greatly for being a challenger at the Earth level. I didnt know that even aftering all the way here, I would be able to practice martial arts. Perhaps the replica over there thinks it doesnt know how to use martial arts The challenger [Han Seong-yoon] uses a heart sword. what? Are you using a sword? What kind of ce is this again Even Changchun Sword Dragon Namgunghyeok cant beat me with martial arts anymore. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! One of the Murim people who handled the mouth badly was killed as the invisible sword strike was fired as if it would change the whole area. Even without leaving a shape. The aftermath of using the mind sword did not stop with the death of one Murim. Nonsense! Its the realm of the heart! How can a bug get to the highest level! Cheaaaaagh! Par pal! Turn it off! shit! It wont stop even if its bleeding blood! I cant admit this! This is not a sword! Its not even airless! Its nothing but witchcraft!! In an instant, the surroundings changedpletely due to the sword. Those who had been holding the form as if they were only rxing so far began to cry out in confusion. Seeing that scene, I felt my head dizzy. It was worth it. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the basic divine power, Apotheosis. From now on, its not enough to just deal with the sword. *** Apotheosis. The replica used the power that temporarily allowed me to freely use mytent divinities. Being able to use divinity itself is a huge change. If you use Divine < Death > or < Immortality >, you can fire an instant kill without dying properly. Not even that. If I use the transcendent divinity, all challengers in this ce will die. When the power skill is lifted from the limit with divine < transcendence >, there is no way to really stop it. This has to fall back unconditionally So I instinctively took my teammates and immediately tried to get out of the surroundings Challenger [Han Seong-yun (^)] doesnt have a unique divinity, so the casting of authority is cancelled. An unexpected situation has urred. There is no divinity? Was it impossible to replicate the divinity even with the giant treebyrinth system? It seemed that divinity did not exist at all in the current replica. In other words Isnt that saying that the unique divine authority was also sealed? The probability of not being able to use all the powers affected by the divinity was huge. Of course, I used the sword to see if the divine power itself existed. At least, there is no inherent divinity such as < Transcendence > or < Death >. That fact reassured me a little. Then have I lost all of the power skills subordinate to < Transcendence >? Perhaps Replica has lost most of my main skills. So I quickly gave instructions to my teammates. Oh Chun-seok and Catherine help from the rear, and Kim Seung-hoon stands in the vanguard together. The reason Ive been protecting my teammates so far is because they havent been very helpful to me, but its also about oveing crisis situations with the skills Ive cherished and nurtured when Im in a situation like this. Seunghoon Kim nodded right away I see. lets buy time But Then, as instructed, he rushed out to the front and finished his speech. In the meantime, make sure you receive all the buffs. Otherwise, everyone will die. As the saying goes, only I can handle that monster. iced coffee! really! What a monster you are! Even if you are strong, you have to be moderately strong! All stats are temporarily increased by 50% by the special power Song of White me. I have no confidence to deal with a monster like that. The output of all types of skills increases by 50% due to the skill strengthening. As I listened to what my teammates were saying, I began to draw lines around my mouth. All stats are temporarily increased by +2 by the skill Blessing of Fire. Automatic damage reduction is used up to 4 times by the skill Water Shield. Magic power by the skill Volcanic Spirits Grace The recovery speed increases by 100%. By the skill Wind Shield, the automatic defense function is used up to 4 times. The feeling of fullness all over my body told me that it was worth continuing this fight. I might be able to win. Of course, it would be difficult to guarantee victory with such a buff. But I had ways to be stronger besides the buffs from my teammates. The skill Guardian is activated. The target and area to be protected have been specified. A magical barrier is created in the target and area to be protected, and all stats increase by +1. Creates and simply raises stats. And Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +30. Special buff < Reverse Reflection > is activated. Stamina drops below 40%. All stats increase by +10 when doing so. The buff obtained from < Reversal Hero > was also close to the jackpot. In addition to all stats +30, there is a condition that the stamina is less than 40%, but you can increase the stats by 10 additionally Im very close to my abilities before being sealed. therefore. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. Its time to write the capital. *** The Twelve Elders of the Volcano Sect. Among them, Seolmae Sword Lee Jin-gyeong, who boasted exceptional skills, was a swordsman respected by young warriors. It was worth it. Because he was a legendary swordsman who entered the Volcano Sect as an orphan and ended the Great War. The nickname Seolmae-geom is also an honorable nickname given to it as a plum blossom sword that bloomed in the snow. It is said that even adversity such as the Great War of Love is ovee and blossomed in the end. But Could that really exist? Seolmaegom Lee Jin-gyeong was feeling more pressure than when he ended the current Great War. And he immediately sensed it. This is not something like adversity that can be ovee. The fact that that was an existence that shouldnt havee out as an ordeal in the first ce. Its not an adversity that can be ovee, but its more like a natural disaster like an earthquake or storm. Its like a transcendental person Seolmaegum Lee Jin-kyung has met numerous warriors. Among them, there were masters who could open the world. The Three Zones and Seven Stars, the Four Great Evils, and the Teenage Demons. Among the Murim people spread out like pebbles, the exceptional warriors had the power to make awe of them. Lee Jin-gyeong encountered such people once, shared a discussion, and sometimespeted swords based on conviction. However, he didnt die he proved himself by killing one of the Four Evils and three of the Ten Demons. But even they couldnt make me feel as if I was on the brink of death. I didnt expect to see with my own eyes the Legendary Mind Geomjikyung thought Lee Jin-kyung. Its bigger than I thought. Thats Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] consumes the spirit of his unique attribute Necromancy topletely reduce the damage. tsuuuuu! The moment when ck energy flowed from the body of the cloned challenger who seemed to have no emotions. Even those who had silently practiced martial arts without losing their fighting spirit spat out curse words. Damn it! This crazy bastard! How far can you undo an attack! Huh huh. Arent these monsters on the same level as the Heavenly Demon ah, maybe even more monsters Why cant you use martial arts against a challenger belonging to an uncivilized dimension! This is nonsense! If only they had given up face and even took a concerted effort against a strong man who could use a sword . He was even beheaded by a heart sword or brutally murdered by martial arts he had never seen before. Currently, there are only about 10 people left. Its only been a few minutes. Lee Jin-kyung muttered with a self-deprecatingugh. Was it an impossible battle to win from the start? Then, he dropped the longsword he was holding in his hand,pletely erasing hope from his eyes. Among the Murim people in this ce, there is no one who can defeat that thing. Heart Sword. He is a transcendentalist who has reached a level that even the greatest schrs of the Volcano Sect cannot reach. And such a person can never exist. In response, Lee Jin-kyung erased the emotions from her eyes and prepared for death. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon(^)] uses a heart sword. But The skill Counterattack Shield is activated. What came back soon was not death, but a roar like a mountain copsing. Kwaaang-! A mind sword can never be stopped unless it is the same mind sword. Because the sword is the most outstanding of all martial arts. But What Thew that seemed to be immortal was broken and a red curtain blocked the heart sword. Lee Jin-kyung was shocked when he saw a young man wearing a ck mask in the center. !! It was because I could immediately sense the power contained in the multicolored glow radiating from his whole body. At that, Lee Jin-kyungs eyes lit up and he squeezed the power in the hand holding the sword wave. it is realized Was there! Like that cloned challenger whose existence itself in the world feels absurd A transcendent who can beat that! That a transcendent with overwhelming power exists in this ce. Chapter 188 188. Keeper (4) From an objective point of view, the probability of winning the battle against the replica was close to zero. It was worth it. Before entering the giant treebyrinth, I was holding the position of the strongest in the Earth dimension. Even originally, I had many abilities that shined brightly inrge-scale battles. And those are great things too. Among them, if I had to pick out the most troublesome ability, this would be it. Necromancy. The unique characteristic of the all-rounder style that can use various abilities by using absorbed spirits as resources is Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)]pletely reduces damage by consuming the spirit of her unique attribute Necromancy. In this battle, it became an impable iron wall that did not allow even the slightest scratch to Replica. It was worth it. Necromancys protective function is the ability to block a power of 100 with a power of 1, depending on how you use it. Under the premise of using useless spirits, the necromancys protective shield can meaninglessly consume the power of the strong. Chargingplete. The skill Counter Shield is in a state where the umted damage can be reflected. like now. The skill Counter Shield releases the umted damage all at once. Kwaaang-! I immediately released the umted shock with the replicas heart sword Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)]pletely reduces damage by consuming the spirit of her unique attribute Necromancy. Even this did not consume all the spirits of the replica. I clicked my tongue at that. The Murim people arent really helpful. They are the Moorim Dimensional Challengers who boasted crazy strength when facing each other As soon as it became a system that had to cooperate in amon ordeal, it was trolling like a ghost, so the heat was out. Even most of them had lost their fighting spirit and were staring nkly at us. As if you dont know whats going on. What on earth do these guys know how to do? It seems like he didnt do anything other than giving the Replica the death and dedicating the spirit. But there was no time to ponderints. That would be too Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the authority Shunbo. As soon as the counter technique disappeared, the replica immediately approached me. Even while using the power of space movement. At least I couldnt pick up any equipment from the dead Murims, so I dont have anything in my hands Whoa! His abilities, which had already reached three digits, were enough to shake mountains with a light punch. The challenger in the giant treebyrinth, where all abilities are sealed, will die without leaving any form. but. Its not a good choice to write Sunbo right away. Kwaaang! I was no different that all of my stats exceeded three digits. Even though I received Replicas punches with my body, no shock was transmitted to me. Its partly because my ability level itself is higher than the replicas due to < Contempt for the Strong >, but Automatic damage reduction is used by the skill Water Shield. Automatic damage reduction is used by the skill Water Shield Automatic damage mitigation is done by the skill Water Shield The reason why I was not shocked at all was that the damage reduction skill I received from Oh Chun-seok worked. !? But did Replica not know that I would endure the punch? The replica, which had maintained an emotionless face until now, immediately distorted its expression. Maybe the Replica thought I would be knocked out with just one punch The skill Focus on Strike is activated. The precision and destructive power of the technique used for the next blow will increase. Its the opposite now that his stats have gone up by using < Contempt for the Strong >. Aaaaaang! When I released my left hand using Focus on Strike, the replicas body rolled heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)]pletely reduces damage by consuming the spirit of her unique attribute Necromancy. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)]pletely reduces the damage by consuming the spirit of her unique attribute Necromancy Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)]pletely reduces the damage by consuming the spirit of the unique attribute Necromancy It seems that most of themandments have been consumed The preparations are nowplete. I onlypeted for one sum, but it became possible to be sure. I can win. The replica is not an unbeatable foe. Originally, it must be aposition where you have to be pushed helplessly even with the difference in ability level That part was covered with various buffs, < The Warrior of Reversal >, and < Contempt for the Powerful >. Even in the process of exchanging blows with each other, there was something I noticed. as soon as. I dont use skills other than skills very deeply. Unlike the replica seen in the tower, the replica in the giant treebyrinth does not know how to properly use skills other than skills. Of course, at the time of writing the sword, there was room for this to be denied. Because the sword is not a skill or authority. However, seeing that he did not use martial arts while wearing Sunbo, it can only be exined by that. And seeing that Shunbo uses it like that, hisbat sense isntpletely duplicated. Its not evenpletely unfounded. Before I came to the Labyrinth, I attributed some of my skills to < Transcendence >. At the tower, the mana management skill was attributed to < transcendence > and turned into an authority skill. And Replica has neither < transcendence > nor < death >. Namely-. It means that all the skills attributed to < Transcendence > have been lost. Perhaps it would be right that even if he wanted to use martial arts, he couldnt use it because he didnt have Management of Magical Power. If you know the principles of simgeomdo, it doesnt feel that difficult. Seeing that he couldnt even kill all the Murim people with his mind sword, he could tell that his control was inexperienced. so. The power skill Soul Source Magic Sword is activated. From now on, it was the intention to show the difference in full-fledged skills. *** To win this battle, you need to consider three abilities. The first is necromancy, the second is regeneration, and the third is Last Stand. Even if I drive it into a corner, Ill be at a disadvantage if I get rid of the fatal wound with thest stand anyway. Necromancy, a unique attribute, has already taken out themand, and thebo of the seeker of fresh blood and thebo of gray blood should be able to be blocked with sword me. However, there is no way to block thest resistance in advance. It would be best to maximize the advantage this side has and let them subtract their skills as much as possible. At that, I immediately kicked the ground and ran towards the replica. If you give me the distance, I might blow the sword. Perhaps, since the ability to manipte magical power itself has disappeared, the endowment of sword mes cannot be freely controlled, but Since I have the skill of sword fighting, Im sure Ill be able to throw sword skills. First of all, Sword me is also registered as an authority, so writing itself shouldnt be difficult. Until now, Replica might have been looking down on me, but she didnt use her sword at all there was A sword that can be used right away without picking up dead enemy equipment. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the power Sword of Iron Blood. Replica immediately raised his body and summoned a frost-colored sword in his right hand. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the skill Sword Warfare Sword. After that, he used Sword me as his authority, and in addition to that, he wrapped himself in thunderbolt. I think I know what hes trying to do since he tells me everything about using the skill. At this point, it was easy to infer that the next action was a shing divergence. Wow! Seeing the shing from a distance, I drew an arc at the corner of my mouth and rushed forward. Perhaps he wants to stop my rush at least a little Attack disappears when all defense counts of the skill Wind Shield are exhausted. If he wanted to prevent this situation from happening in the first ce, he should not hastily used Sunbo, the space movement power. I have to think about how to use the authority in battle. As soon as I got close to the replica, I swung my sword wearing the same sword. Even that, with the nature of being non-renewable. Of course, there was no way that the replica would suffer as it was, so he used various skills in an instant. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the skill Facheon 졯. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the skill Blood Seeker Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the skill Counterattack Shield I used most of the skills that could be used to see if my existence itself was quite threatening. But to be honest, I cant help butugh at it. That would be too The skill distribution is messed up again. It was because I didnt understand when to use the skill at all. The seeker of fresh blood had to be used in such a way as to strengthen the sword or replenish stamina, and I dont understand how to use the counterattack shield now. The only good thing is Pacheon. Even if thats the case, its fine if Pacheon doesnt give me a head-to-head match. Even this, thew of rtivity had already been devised. The exclusive effect Doubling of the Power Skill Soul Source Magic Sword is activated. Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skills [4] times. White swordsmanship. Geug-! The sword techniques learned from Baekhak Geomseon were strengthened several times, and the space around the sword was refracted as it was. At that, Replica strongly showed signs of dismay. It was worth it. Because the refracted space pierced the ground with the replicas frost-colored sword that should have aimed at my heart. Kagagak! Seeing the swordpletely pierce the ground, I smiled and swung the sword. Im sorry-! Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the skill Last Resistance. All battle victory conditions have now been met. so. Lets disappear like fakes. Its time to put an end to this petty battle. *** Surprisingly, Replica responded quickly as soon as the severed head was restored. Challenger [Han Seong-yoon (^)] uses the skill Star Light. In the Tower, he openly used the Starlight skill that allowed him to achieve the Dragon God achievement. Of course, the Replica, whosebat sense itself is at a serious level, couldnt use the star light to its full output Pew! It was possible to get a glimpse of the Replicas strong will to separate from me, even though both of us would be hurt by the Holy Light. Are you trying to buy time by separating me with the Holy Light? It was usible. Quickly repairing wounds with gray blood and restoring health with blood seeker is a goodbo. These two have great synergy with each other. However, the problem was thecent thought that I would allow it. The authority skill Magical Operation is activated. Unlike replicas, where even the sword cannot be used properly because it has no magical power management The skill Focus on Strike is activated. The precision and destructive power of the technique used for the next blow will increase. I, who have magical power management skills, can freely use the sword. You can even increase skill precision and destructive power by focusing on blows Kwajijik! It was only natural for the replicas body to split in half from the sword and copse. It was more boring than I thought. There was no time to use the buff of < Reversal of Light > provided in the myth < Hero of Reversal >. Mybat sense is weaker than I thought. If there wasnt a difference in stats, wouldnt it have been easier to win than this? Of course, its a meaningless assumption. Really, it was not fun to win because of the difference in skills, but I absorbed themand of the challenger Han Seong-yoon (^). Skill has increased by 61%. The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy has reached 100%. The grade of the unique attribute Necromancy will rise by one level. Anyway, winning is winning, so shouldnt we be rewarded? Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the judgment of power extraction begins. Because thats the winners right. Chapter 189 189. Crusade (1) After absorbing a spirit stronger than the user, the judgment of power extraction begins. Power extraction began as soon as the spirit that flowed from the replica copied from the mirror was absorbed. It was worth it. Its a powerful enemy that has transferred my level as it was when I arrived at the Earth dimension Even though Icked personal skills because I couldnt replicate the divinity, the replica was clearly stronger than the current me. So, it was only natural that power extraction would ur. Even power extraction was more so because it was greatly influenced by the number of skills and powers rather than skill. With a throbbing heart, even for a moment, I expected what kind of authority would be extracted. That would also be the case If I acquire ovepping powers, wont my grade go up? The powers that will be extracted from the replica will ovep with my powers to some extent. Judgment sessful. So, I wondered if it would be possible to gain new benefits by acquiring authority repeatedly I will extract it. As the authority was extracted, I could only lick my lips. The authority Sunbo (B+) is imprinted in the soul of the user Han Seong-yoon. This is because an authority that cannot be acquired repeatedly has been created. I was disappointed with that, but that doesnt mean I got a bad power. Shunbo is the power to move short distances so quickly that you cant see them. It is a power with a cooldown, but if used well, it can turn the tide of battle even in an unfavorable battle. Replica used Shunbo strangely and was defeated in a foolish way. In the first ce, it was because the replicas skills had deteriorated without knowing why. Its a story that doesnt work for me. As I was trying to erase my regrets and feeling satisfied, a message suddenly came to my mind. Challenger Han Seong-yoon handles the [duplicated challenger] and the ordeal ends. It was a phrase indicating that the joint ordeal on the 6th floor was over. The contribution is calcted. And The ranking is determined ording to the contribution. 1st ce: [Challenger Han Seong-yoon] [affiliation dimension: Earth] [contribution: 80.41%] 2nd ce: [Challenger Lee Jin-kyung] [affiliation dimension: Moorim] [contribution: 7.12%] 3rd ce: [Challenger Wijihak] [affiliation dimension: Moorim] [contribution: 3.78%] 4th ce: [Challenger Yujeong Gu] [affiliation dimension: Murim] [contribution: 1.11%] 5th ce: [Challenger] Yoo Ji-moo] [affiliation dimension: Moorim] [contribution.] 6th ce: [Challenger Baek Seo-gwang] [affiliation dimension: nothing. 7th ce: [Challenger Seok Moo-kwon] [affiliation] The car The ranking notice was unnecessarily long, but there was one thing worth paying attention to. The challengers team that achieves 10% contribution gets the right to go down to the 7th floor. At least my team was able to go downstairs. However, the challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension did not easily acknowledge the result. I can not admit it. Something is obviously wrong with this. Otherwise, this is Damn it! Why!? Exin why that damned savage is better than this body! hurry! You are talking bullshit! Does it make sense to decide the ranking by the number of spoons ced on a fully prepared table!? The surviving challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension shouted with a sense of inferiority. At this point, I had nothing to say. Isnt it true that Moorim people are equipped with mental illness passively? Cant you remember that you tried to get away from the fight without losing your fighting spirit? To be honest, I wanted to kill everyone out of this ce without saying anything, but there was no need to do that. The god of proof is angry with the challengers who do not ept the result. Because the deity who controls the 6th floor [Cradle of Proof] has revealed its presence. The God of Proof imposes sanctions on challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension. That too Those who fail to prove will pay the price by the Shinhwa < Judge of Proof >. In the form of activating a myth that has never been seen before . *** It was the first time. To see the sight of another god invoking a myth. Until now, I thought that other gods might not be able to write myths. Thats right because no other deity has ever mentioned or used mythology. But that was just a huge miscalction. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Whose eyes! My eyes exploded! I will pay the price, so please someone treat me! No nonsense! My energy is disappearing!? Stop that! I will ept the results, so stop! Wow! what the hell is this? No sound! What the hell have you done to this body! Deity could also use mythology. I was able to recognize that fact by looking at the challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension. Some lost both their eyes, some lost their hearing, and some returned all their mana to nature. Is this the myth of the God of Proof? I admired. I never thought I would treat the challengers so harshly just because Iined a little bit The God of Proof is finally smiling at me, saying that Ive gotten a little better. But that feeling was only short-lived. Its interesting. This is because the interest was focused on the mythology that the godhead deals with. Is it a myth that can be used conditionally? Perhaps the myth of < Judge of Proof > used by the God of Proof is an ability that can be used when certain conditions are met. Myths are created based on folk tales and beliefs. Wouldnt it be possible to activate < Judge of Proof > on those who failed the proof? Among the myths, there is also a myth called < The Vampire Exorcist > who bes strong against demons It must be a correct guess. However, after knowing the interesting part, somehow I got goosebumps. If I made a mistake in the trial on the 11th floor before, wouldnt it be possible for this to happen? If I had made a mistake before, it could have been me, not them, who would suffer. Of course, it was a meaningless assumption. Ive never made a mistake, and Ive never failed a proof. It was the time when he was hoping that the god of proof would finish the sanctions quickly with his eyes narrowed. Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute? Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a sword approached and said so. One of the team members interrupted the middle-aged man as he raised his guard against suspicious movements. I dont know who it is, but I hope you dont approach your colleagues any more. It was Kim Seung-hoon. Maybe it was because he bought time to receive buffs while dealing with replicas, but he looked quite tired which was unexpected. Even though I was tired from the battle, I didnt know that Kim Seung-hoon would be so worried. The other colleagues are in a situation where they cante out of it because of the barrier created by the Guardian skill I think the other team members would have done this if they had been able toe out of the barrier. I guess I thought that they would have protected me like Seunghun Kim. But is a colleague a colleague ? Ah, I think you misunderstood, but I didnt mean to harm you. I was slightly moved, but there was no time to savor it. Its just The middle-aged man with the sword continued with a smile. I was just trying to say thank you for giving this old man a lifesaving gift. To put it in a word, it seems that he was grateful for being blessed. It was great. I think its a witty swordsmanship that shows traces of training for a long time. I didnt believe all of that. It was worth it. If I really wanted to say thank you, I wouldnt have teased my tongue like this. Looking at the face that thoroughly protects the poker face, its not like hes trying to pay grace. Then, it means that I have something to say personally, but it wasnt very pleasant. None of the Moorim people I hade across had been decent enough. Either he intends to harm me or he must have something to gain from me. I just doubt that this middle-aged man is trying to make some kind of profit through me. In fact DI didnt expect to see the sword of the Shingeombaekga (񄦰׼) from a warrior from another dimension. Suspicion was elerated by even using the whole tone so that Kim Seung-hun could not hear the sound of speech. It was all the more so because the words that the middle-aged man sent out through the whole tone were unexpected. Well, I think its good that Kim Seung-hun doesnt get involved in many ways. Are you a new swordsman? Its a name Ive never heard of. However, the middle-aged person conveyed the whole tone of the New Sword Baekga while giving strength to that part. As if he had an intention to get information from me. But DThis is the first time Ive heard of the name Shingeombaekga. Shingeombaekga is a family name that I have never heard of. That was certain. -Really? -Thats right. And I wonder why you ask me that. DAh, this old man is called Seolmaegom Lee Jin-gyeong. Hes an elder belonging to the Volcano Sect . Seolmaegom Lee Jin-kyung or the Volcano Sect elder could not be understood anyway. Previously, Damcheonwu, who dwells in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, gave a rough exnation of the background knowledge about other dimensions . The middle-aged man, perhaps noticing that, quickly moved on to the main topic. DThe Volcano faction has benefited from the Shingeombaekga in the past. So I was wondering if you are a descendant of the Shingeombaekga. DNo, so why did you think I was a descendant of the Shingeombaek family? DIs that where you started? I thought there was no need to exin it, but I guess not. and. DThats right, you used the Seven Swords Seven. In the words that followed, I was finally able to understand. Im going crazy What this middle-aged man is saying is I cant believe this will continue like this. It was referring to the family of my manager, Baekhak Geomseon. *** It was a really out of the blue situation. I was waiting for the Murim people to be expelled after the ordeal was over. Suddenly, a story came out about the family that was presumed to be the monk of Baekhak Geomseon. It was something I had never thought of before, so it became even moreplicated in my head, but I was not given time to have a long conversation. That would also be the case The proof god has finished sanctioning. Its because the god of proof, having finished the judgment, has begun expelling the challengers. The God of Proof will expel all challengers with less than 10% contribution from the giant treebyrinth. After that message, those who were presumed to be from the Moorim dimension were enveloped in green light. It was the same with a man named Lee Jin-gyeong, who introduced himself as an elder of the Volcanic Sect. DI guess we should talkter. He licked his lips with a somewhat regretful face, then opened his mouth. DAnyway, you are a descendant of the Shingeombaek family, so someday you will have to settle the grievances of the past. It was a difficult sound to hear. But I could guess what he meant. DIf you happen to be in the Moorim dimension, find Lee Jin-gyeong of the Volcano Wave. Seeing that Eun-won is talking about something, it seems that it is probably rted to the white crane inspection. DSince we can talk more deeply about this at that time. At least for now, I thought about it like this without thinking too deeply. Challengers with less than 10% contribution werepletely expelled. Later on, the reasons to go to Moorim increased again. Because you have qualified to go down the [Cradle of Proof] on the 6th floor of the giant treebyrinth, you will receive a reward. Ill be arriving at the final floor of thebyrinth soon. It was my intention to see the end of this event as soon as possible and return to the tower. Chapter 190 190. Holy War (2) After a middle-aged man named Lee Jin-gyeong, who introduced himself as an elder of the Volcanic Sect, was expelled from thebyrinth. You are qualified to go down the [Cradle of Proof] on the 6th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth, so you will receive a reward . A system message popped up. I thought maybe I should search for a ce where I could move, but it wasnt like that. Whoa! The surface of therge mirror in the center of the graynd shook greatly and a portal was created. As soon as he tried to move from his seat, Kim Seung-hoon, who had been still, opened his mouth. It was a strange challenger whose purpose was unknown. Since weve been conversing over the phone so far, it seems like Im just an ufortable challenger I will. He had no intention of telling Kim Seung-hoon what he had heard from Lee Jin-kyung. It was worth it. The story about the Shingeombaekga I heard from Lee Jin-kyung is rted to my manager. There was no need to inform Kim Seung-hun unnecessarily, so it was only natural to keep the number of words low. The skill Guardian is deactivated.] After releasing the Guardian skill, the team members who were trapped in the barrier also joined. I was talking to some Moorim man, but who the hell is he? Katherine Be asked as if she couldnt figure it out, and I gave a short answer. He said thank you for saving his life. Really. Except for the conversation that had been conducted through transmission, Lee Jin-kyung said nothing more than this. You say that all of a sudden? Who looked down on people from the Earth ne so little? Of course, Katherine Be also tilted her head as if she felt something strange. I saw it myself, too. As if he had no ulterior motives, he disappeared after saying that. At that, he didnt ask any more questions and kept his mouth shut, and then Oh Chun-seok opened his mouth. Anyway, Im d it ended well. Thanks to Sungyoon, I think thebyrinth will soone to an end. He pointed to the portal that had formed in the mirror as if it was okay, and continued. It seems like there really isnt much left, so lets do ast spurt. Well, the same goes for this side. Right now, I just wanted to see the end of thebyrinth, so I didnt talk about it anymore. All right. Lets go down to the next level. I immediately took my teammates to the mirror and quickly restored my abilities. The skill Starlight Starlight is released from the seal.] The authority skill Reaper of Faith is released from the seal. In many ways, it is equipped with Faith Harvest so that you can create a new myth in the skill that is good to use as a wide-area skill. I dont think there will be many situations where Faith Harvest can be used, but to be honest, this was my greed. Maybe I might get a very good myth from this giant treebyrinth. The anticipation that I might be able to get some more myths like < The Vampire Exorcist > or < The Reversal of the Hero > that have helped me so far. Because of that, I couldnt help but regain the faith harvest. I cant help but look forward to seeing something like < The Judge of Proof > used by the God of Proof. Even more so right after the god of proof used the myth himself. The God of Proof is satisfied with the choice of challenger Seong-Yoon Han. It seems that the God of Proof has read the thoughts revealed in the surface consciousness. This is why, as much as possible, in the hierarchy controlled by God, thoughts are not revealed to the surface. I was unnecessarily revealing my thoughts, but I dont think it matters much. You dont have to bother hiding your thoughts anyway, youll find out soon enough. Is the god of proof really a god with whom you can form a friendly rtionship? That should be the case too I have entered the [Sacred Ground] on the 7th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth . This is the depth of thebyrinth under observation by various deities. Challengers of all official levels of climbing can participate in the ordeal together . This is the information collected while clearing the giant treebyrinth so far. This giant treebyrinth is an event involving divinities, and it is said that the godspete for some kind of reward. Its finally the beginning. And the drinker said. When choosing a camp, the best challenger will be selected as the [Gods Apostle] from that camp. In the contest of the gods, if I fulfill his request, he will give me the reward of the contest. And that request was one I could grant without hesitation. When the [Apostle of God] is decided, [Grail Fragments] will be given to the [Apostle of God] in each camp . Fragment] Because the demand the Demon God made of me was to thoroughly defeat one of the gods in the giant treesbyrinth. After 4 hours, the camp that has two or more [Grail Fragments] will get the right to go down to the 8th floor. It was already decided which god to defeat. I didnt know that I would expect to meet the god of battle. And even against opponents who have fought each other in the tower. *** Arriving at the 7th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth, the item-specific penalty will disappear. The item Blood Demon Sword (A+) will bepletely released from the seal. The item-specific penalty has been lifted. Until I reached the 7th floor, I was told that all of the exclusive effects of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword could not be used. Now that we have arrived at the depth, the corner where the item-only penalty will be applied haspletely disappeared. As I was satisfied with that, a message soon appeared in my field of vision. Choose the camp of the god you have a rtionship with. And Currently , there are four camps you can choose from. < Transcendence > < Darkness > < Demon > < Proof > Decide the camp. If there are team members, the camp is decided by a majority vote. After seeing the options, I narrowed my eyes and smiled. Is it like this after all? Since I said that I could choose the camp of the gods I encountered while descending the giant treebyrinth As soon as I entered the first floor, I faced my divinity, so < Transcendence > could also appear as an option. Of course, the team members who didnt know about it were mostly curious. < transcendence >? What is this? I dont think I have any memories of anything like this. Iknow, right. < Darkness > is because I was blessed by the god of darkness, so I cant guess where < Transcendence > came from. well. It may be a god entangled in birds that we dont even know about. I dont think it will make any difference no matter which faction you choose. After a while, I realized that there was nothing to worry about. Since the team members didnt know about the deities, there was no reason to persuade them to choose < Transcendence >. Then lets choose a camp with < Transcendence >. As expected, there were no objections. This is because for the team members, when ites to choosing a camp, it is there no matter where you choose. All team members unanimously chose the < Transcendence > faction. As soon as he finished his selection, a brilliant light emanated from his body and a shiny piece of ss appeared in the air. Is this a piece of the Holy Grail? Its a piece of ss that doesnt seem to mean anything at first nce, but these are [Grail pieces]. It was a little hard to trust, but I didnt think too deeply. With the [Grail Fragment] right in my pocket, I looked around. Great Forest. It was a ce where giant trees were lined up so densely that it could be dismissed as such. The reason why I chose a ce like this as a stage was probably to find someone with [Grail Fragments] and capture them. In terms of games, its a battle royale genre. But Theres no need to y hide-and-seek. I didnt really like the system-driven battle royale genre at this stage. It was all the more so when I thought that thorough psychological warfare woulde and go centering on the [Holy Grail Fragment]. Kwaaang-! I swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and created a deep pit in one go, then spoke briefly. Its going to get a little noisy, so everyone please wait inside. As always, it was the intention to keep the team members inside the barrier and fight safely. all right. Ill be a burden to you anyway. Ill be quiet here. For some reason, Katherine Be said that with a bitter face, and then stepped into the pit. Even in this situation, I think its a bit unfortunate that I cant trust myself I couldnt help it. I dont know what will happen from now on, so Ill have to be as careful as possible. Because I dont want to leave room for an unexpected variable in the course of an ordeal in which the godhead intervenes in earnest. It is enough for you to endure within this. i get it. When the barrier disappears, join it. Call me anytime. Whoa. All secondary magic has been cast. Mr. Seongyun I wish you the best of luck. As soon as the rest of the team went inside the pit, I immediately activated the guardian skill. The skill Guardian is activated. The target and area to be protected are specified. A magical barrier is created in the target and area to be protected, and all stats increase by +1. After the red barrierpletely covered the pit, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword suddenly trembled. DYou care so much about your colleagues. Do you keep it that way? Im emotional unlike you. Dam Chun-wu, who had awakened before he knew it, sent a telegram. I smiled at him and opened my mouth. Since when have you been conscious? DFrom when the seal was lifted. I just didnt talk to you because I thought you might need some time. Thats a very grateful consideration. -yes? So, respect my seat! The person who takes care of things like you is the only one in the world! Then I will cancel the thank you. DTsk! Thats it! You dont have to respect me, Ill be grateful! Anyway, with the level of personality Damcheonwu muttered something like a grumble, but I didnt reply. It was worth it. Dam Chun-wu will have to suffer quite a bit from now on. Its done. Get your mind right. We might fight with all our might from now on. DFighting with all your might? What else do you mean? Are there no enemies around? So, prepare yourself. -? Now we will call all enemies on this floor here. Dam Chun-wu tried to say something like he couldnt understand it, but -What was that. He didnt have the slightest intention of bothering to exin it with his mouth. Because sooner orter you will understand what I said. The skill Starlight Starlight is activated.] Keying! The starlight created in the air began to run wild while being confined to the divine membrane C What a madman! you! Are you sure youre trying to blow it up! Soon, Damcheonwu seemed to understand my thoughts and chattered while shaking the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. DIf that explodes, all the strong men will be frantic to deal with you! If this starlight explodes, it will surely turn all strong people in this forest into enemies. DLooks at you, your strength isnt perfect, but if you do something like that, you wont be safe! But I see. Dam Chun-wu still didnt know much about me. If you explode this, you wont be safe. So I added a brief exnation. Also very kind. Its not me, but the enemies who will be. and. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The divine starlight engulfed the Great Forest. Chapter 191 191. Temple (3) Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! The Great Forest, swallowed up by the starlight, quickly shrunk in size as it burned. Really Labyrinth Achievement Human Talent (Unique) has been achieved.] Labyrinth score +15 points obtained. Skill Carnage (B+) is created. Even if it is a disaster itself It was good enough. Even the fire caused by the holy light elerated the expansion of its range because it was a good environment for fire to spread. beyond what you imagined. A total of 37 challengers belonging to the < Dominance > camp have died. A total of 41 challengers belonging to the < Oppression > camp have died A total of 18 challengers belonging to the < Nature > camp have died. He died Should I say it was an unexpected ie? Originally, I was thinking of pulling some aggro and inducing all the enemies to my ce . Theyre all deities Ive never heard of. Domination, oppression, nature I thought I encountered many gods in my own way while climbing the tower, but it didnt seem to be the case. Im sure there are many gods who dont know about this. But there was no time to admire him. He must be so The god of control uses the right of nomination to the challenger Seong-yoon Han, saying that he is arrogant . is used. The gods intervened in an unexpected way. Challenger Seong-yoon Han has received multiple nomination rights. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans location will now be revealed to all camps and she will be unable to stealth. But Things are going well. This intervention did not do me much harm. It was worth it. In the first ce, I activated the Holy Light needlessly and extravagantly to reveal the location. At this point, it feels like the deities are helping me too, right? However, when he directly said no and let me reveal the location, I felt grateful. Well, it was a bit awkward to be designated as non-stealth, but Isnt it just a matter of not creating a situation where you have to hide anyway? DEven in this situation, do you think its not worth it! This idiot with no countermeasures! Dont you know what it means that the gods are watching you! However, Dam Chun-wu seemed to think otherwise, and he poured out words to me excitedly. DDoesnt the fact that it is possible to exert influence to the extent of revealing such a location mean that it can intervene even more than that! That much is what I assumed. Perhaps because of the nature of this giant treebyrinth, which is deeply intertwined with the gods, I noticed that it became a good environment for the gods to use their strength. The tower will have its hands in sanctioning the divinity in the giant treebyrinth. Perhaps, as the god of battle descended on the prospective apostle before, an unexpected crisis could break out. But If the Godhead intervenes anyway, it doesnt matter whether itster or now, doesnt it? The intervention of the Godhead is not something that can be avoided even if one tries to avoid it. They said that it was better to get hit first Rather than give the initiative to the divine interventionter, it was right to take the lead and build the situation for this side. And I have the confidence to run away if I have to. Damcheonwu continued to speak in a tired tone. DReally I dont know about anything else, but one of the tricks of making fun of the mouth is amazing But that doesnt mean I waspletely persuaded by my words. DHowever, even if you wrap your sophistry in a usible way, if you y the game like this, problems will inevitably arise. It was worth it. C Just like now. As soon as he finished his words, a tremendous roar rang in his ears. Koo-hoo-! When I turned my head to where the sound came from, there was a wolf with red fur. The ruling god is watching the challenger Han Seong- yoon. Its also incredibly huge. -You are a spirit. Hes got a big body but he has quite a bit of energy for being a mere beast. A wolf with a body that seems to exceed 100m even at first nce It was interesting. I thought it was something like the ability to transform, but surprisingly it didnt seem like it. It was because a man with a cane stood on the head of a wolf with red fur. Is it like a summoning skill? To be honest, I thought I could handle this easily. There is no need to write a myth. It took an opponent who was below the level to see that he used the holy light. So I thought that maybe the aggro wasnt attracted as well as I thought, but To put it bluntly, it was an illusion. Deed! The god of nature is watching the challenger, Han Seong-yoon. The trees that have not been burnt yete together to create a huge wooden statue . The god of oppression is watching the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Everything around me is crushed precisely around the location where I am standing. . I thought, resisting my body being suppressed by the unknown physical pressure. It seems to have seeded in getting the eyes of the gods. The aggro itself seems to be attracted quite well. And The god of battle shows strong hostility toward the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Chow-! Ha ha ha! to be stupid! Did you think this body would suffer from a useless show of strength!? Then, seeing the bloody tidal wave, I put a smile on my face. That would be the case God of battle! please look! Seeing me stepping on that ship!! Because the long-awaited enemy has finally appeared. DYouve got too many enemies. Well, I did have more enemies than I thought C Do you have the confidence to handle them all? I wasnt too worried about that. Even if I dont have the confidence to kill them all, I have the confidence to survive. Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +67. Special buff < Undying War Hero > is activated. All types of regeneration power increases by 100% until the end of the battle. Reduces all damage taken by 40%. Also The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. And all skill efficiency increases by 100%. Because I am naturally strong against bad luck. The more Im cornered, the stronger I be. *** thump thump thump! Katherine Be clenched her fists at the vague vibration that came from beyond the red barrier. Currently, a fierce battle is taking ce on the ground. She recognized it right away. It was worth it. Even before the tower appeared, she had been active as an A-ss hunter and had ovee numerous trials as a hard difficulty challenger. Even if you dont want to know the level of the fighting on the ground, its normal to notice. So I couldnt help but be terrified. Can humans fight at this level? Catherine Bet was unmistakably strong. Both as a hunter and as a challenger. There were not many beings on Earth who could match her. Because of that, Catherine Bet was confident. Han Seong-yoon, whom he saw in Tokyo, said he had caught up with him too. So now Ive reached a level where I can be useful enough for him. That human being who seems to have somehow lost his taste can make it so that he wont throw himself away casually anymore. But theres nothing I can do It was an illusion. Now Han Seong-yoon was not staying at the level where he was in a hurry to protect the city. He had developed overwhelming power as if he had transcended the human race itself. I fully felt that even after entering the giant treebyrinth. Even though all abilities should have been reset to the initial level of awakening, Han Seong-yoon showed an overwhelming appearance. The skill itself was different. I want to help him, but in reality there is nothing I can do. Katherine Bet opened her mouth with a sense of self-doubt. Even with this, can we still be called a team. It doesnt help him at all She asked a question to her colleagues who had seen Han Seong-yoon so far. Is it okay to be casually in a safe ce like this? With the optimistic thought that maybe there might be other alternatives for my colleagues. it cant be helped. To Sungyoon, being a team means nothing. We are small fish. But it wasnt. Its already not a battle that humans can do. You can feel it. entire. If you enter there, you will die. Oh Chun-seok let out a self-deprecating sneer while sitting in a corner hugging his knees. I have tried hard enough. I tried toplicate the skill tree, and I tried to make full use of my magical abilities. His eyes had lost their color and were dead. You know what? A few floors earlier, Oh Chun-seok had maintained such lifeless eyes. Is the shield or buff ability more helpful than the ability umted in-depth while climbing the tower? All that was left in his eyes was despair. Isnt that funny? Everything Ive risked my life to build up to this point can bebined with just a few shields and a few buffs. Catherine Bet could not answer. Now I cant think I can do anything. Because there was nothing wrong with that. Even Kim Seung-hoon gave an opinion that was not very different. If its not helping you when youre tired, it wont help much. And For now, its probably best to just make sure I dont hold onto Han Seong-yoons ankles. Upon hearing that, Katherine Be realized that there was no answer after all. If a miracle doesnt happen, nothing can be changed All I can do in this situation is to pray. But it wasnt even that it didnt work at all. I was told he was the god of darkness There was a fact that he learned while climbing the tower. That God is a real being and gives the believer the power appropriate for their faith. On the first floor of the giant treebyrinth, she once received the favor of the dark god. Soon Katherine Bet thought. Maybe May be able to make a miracle happen I dont know if its possible to receive power from the dark god. Of course, I didnt really believe in the dark god, but it was just a blessing that was enough. If there is a possibility, its worth trying. Katherine Bet prayed earnestly with her hands folded and her eyes closed. Please give me the strength to help him, even if its just for a moment. [Whoops. poor kid Maybe Im thinking too cute. ] And [Do you really want to help that moth-like child? ] A miracle really happened. *** At first, all enemies targeted me and fought fiercely. oh oh oh oh! The red wolf, presumed to be a summoned beast, howled and swung its paws wildly with murderous intent. Kigigigiggig! The gigantic wooden statue made of giant trees tried to crush me with restrained movements. Quaaaaaang! Vampires who serve the god of battle constantly chatter and use a tidal wave of blood to attack. DRegeneration ability is meaningless. DIf you allow the blow and your movement is wasted even for a moment, there will be no time to evade from then on. DPerhaps they will unite and attack you without stopping in order to kill you. So never get hit Of course, I didnt even get past all those attacks. Its strange that his abilities have risen like this, but hes getting hurt. Even Dam Chun-wu gave me advice and activated his auxiliary ability, so I got used to avoiding it. Now, after dodging at all, I can mix attacks withbos whenever I have time. After a little more time, I thought that maybe someone could definitely handle it. If I dont distribute the damage with a specific target, I can definitely kill someone. But !? As the time to fight gradually increased, an unexpected situation urred. Wow! Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You fucking son of a bitch! Who are youying your hands on?! A vampire serving the god of battle was suddenly ambushed by a red wolf. Pheh! Then, did you think we would join hands and aim for the same enemy haha-ho-ho? However, the man sitting on the head of the red wolf sneered as if he was dumbfounded. Its a pity for the vampires whock intelligence, but this isnt an alliance. And I just thought it would be better to kill you than target that guy, so dont feel unfair. From that point on, the aspect of the battle haspletely changed. The damn mongrel subject! You say you want to die that much, but I cant stop you! Ill kill you myself! Really What kind of situation is this? It became the opening itself. The god of battle is extremely angry and rages! The god of dominance sneers at me, saying that the slowness of his head is also a problem! The god of nature turns his eyes away from challenger Seongyoon Han and looks at someone else! The god of oppression himself I growl to tell anyone who looks at me to lower those unlucky eyes! Whats even absurd is that the situation has gotten a little more serious as they start fighting each other like this. The god of battle casts < Advent > by consuming divine power and authority of Advent. The god of dominance casts < Advent > by consuming divine power and authority of Advent The god of nature casts divine power and consuming the Advent authority to cast < Advent > The god of oppression consumes the divine power and Advent authority to cast < Advent > It turned into a 2 vs 2 battle Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!! They seemed to be hiding their strength from each other, and started fighting more fiercely while using < Advent >. I felt it. If it continues like this, it will be a bad situation for me. For now, it would be nice to hide and stare at the fisherman, but I could see that the situation was close to the opposite. Since they both used < Advent >, they should be able to stop fighting and target me. Then I didnt have the confidence to ept them. I didnt expect to use < Advent > like this. Originally, the intention was to deal with the conceited enemy as carefully as possible with a numerical superiority of 4 to 1 but things did not work out as well as expected. umte damage slowly and finish off the enemy by the time they are fully ustomed to dodging. That was my strategy, but if this doesnt work, theres little I can do. I cant help it In the end, I had to make a decision. This is an unconditional strategic retreat. He chose to get away from the battlefield and replenish themanders. There were people who died due to the holy light before, so it should be enough to absorb those spirits. And the situation changes again when a new trick is created by skill synthesis at the point where they are fighting each other. Since we started giving strength to each other, I also need to supplement. Its strange that I didnt take this out. I quickly turned around and ran away. The dark god smiles. No, I was trying to run away. The god of darkness consumes divine power and the right to descend to cast < Advent >. Whoa! Until a ck light shined down from the clear sky and a message appeared saying that < Advent > was used. But something was strange. Why is that thinging out of there? The location where the Dark God is supposed to have cast < Advent > is The God of Darkness has < Advent > on the prospective apostle Catherine Bet . It was undoubtedly the ce where I created a barrier to protect myrades. Chapter 192 192. Temple (4) I had expected it to some extent. That the deities who had been entangled in the tower would reveal themselves to me here. But I never imagined it would happen in this form. At the same time as I drank, Dam Chun-wu also helped with a word. DDoes it make sense for so many gods to descend at the same time? It sounded like he didnt understand what was going on. It was worth it. The number of gods who wrote < Advent > in this ce, including the god of darkness, is five. That means that the situation has really gotten out of control now. Damn it It was a waste. Even though the dark god seems to have favor with me, I cant urately read whats inside. Maybe we should assume the worst and allow Catherine Bet to die. My heart skipped a beat when I thought of that fact. As the death of a colleague approached as a vivid image, my mind became white like a sheet of paper. It was natural, as I had never imagined such a case before. I didnt know that the dark god would descend on Catherine Bet, not on anyone else. No, in fact, it would be a lie if I said I didnt know at all. At that time, was it because I received grace on the first floor of the giant treebyrinth? Catherine Bet had received the grace of stealth from the God of Darkness. In other words, it means that the dark god had enough of the < Advent > discount. Of course, I didnt even know that I was designated as a reserve apostle, but Even so, it was my fault for not calmly assuming that this would happen. If Catherine Bet is wrong because of this situation, she will have to take responsibility for it. So DDont get carried away by your emotions. Losing reason wont do anything. For now, as Dam Chun-wu said, it is the time to hold on to reason and choose the best move. I know. I immediately jumped out and canceled the skills that made up the barrier. The skill Guardian is deactivated.] Anyway, it is an undeniable fact that the god of darkness dwells in Catherine Bet. Therefore, it was important to find out her purpose first of all, without wasting her power to stop the Dark God. And The entire area slowly begins to be eroded by the divinity < Darkness > The moment the barrier maintained by the Guardian skill ispletely lifted. Gooooo! The earth turned ck, and a voice tinged with divinity came to my ears. [Hey. ] I immediately intuited that. [Didnt I tell you? ] At least [Im not your enemy. ] That the Dark God has no intention of killing me now. *** The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant. At the same time that the divine < Darkness > was used, thend was stained with darkness. Of course, I can move in mid-air, so it doesnt matter But the darkness that fell on the ground made the enemies who couldnt fly have ridiculously low mobility. But among them, there was one person who was currently most disappointed. Koooooooo!? The wolf with red fur could not bear the overwhelming weight and fell into the darkness like a swamp. [ Nonsense!! Why is an ancient deity like the god of darkness in a ce like this!? ] A startled voice came from the man who was believed to have descended from the god of control. Its as if the dark god shouldnt appear in this ce It was unexpected. Could it be that there is a certain degree of difference between Godheads? Even though they are not different from each other, they are making a fuss about being an ancient deity Perhaps the god of darkness, which is said to be an ancient deity, seemed stronger than a normal deity. Is that why you cant even resist the divine < darkness >? I dont know, but I knew at least that this was an opportunity. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to immediately move to the desired point within the field of view. Use the authority obtained from the replica in the previous floor. It moved right over the head of the red wolf. Exactly [ What!? ] To the ce where the man who is believed to have descended from the god of control is. The authority skill, Dark mes is strongly activated. Seriously! Due to the death of the prospective apostle Erid Lyole Dwalki, the ruling god will be lifted from < Advent >. Could it be that I didnt know that I had a mobile device? It was possible to kill easily because it was not wearing any protective powers. The God of Dominion treated < Descent > so absurdly that it left my pulse drained. I dont think this would have happened if I had at least prepared for it in advance As if he was a god, his conceit was different. Preliminary apostle Erid Lyole Dwalki has absorbed themand. Skill increased by 7.4% DIts not easy to die like this, but hes a really low-level god Since they fought relying on the summoned spirits, they must have eaten the battle itself raw. Therefore, he must be conceited without knowing that the red wolfs mobility would be sealed in battle. The god of dominance is furious at challenger Seongyoon Han for using dirty tricks! Of course, the god of dominion got angry and sent a message saying something, but Well, anyway, this is like a losers monopoly, so I dont really care. decided not to With this, I got one [Grail Fragment] for free. Soon I took out a small piece of ss from the dead Erid Lyall Dwalkis arms. I have acquired the ruling factions [Grail Fragment]. With this, the minimum foundation for going downstairs wasid. At that, I immediately turned my head and looked at the location where the god of nature had descended Oh dark god! stop that! Isnt this just mutual loss! ] I could witness a screaming out of the neck that had been fighting silently with my mouth closed until now. together [Whoops. No way. If you can protect that child, this is not much of a loss. ] Even the dark god with a benevolent smile looking down at the huge wooden statue. At first nce, there is no difference from Catherine Bes appearance except for the ck energy flowing from her body [So, go to sleep quietly. ] [ Stop that! Aaaah-! ] At least in terms of her personality, I could see that she was theplete opposite of Catherine Bet. Koo Goo Goong! I fell silent as I watched the wooden statue being engulfed in darkness as if falling into a swamp. As called the Ancient Godhead, the Dark God was certainly different from themon Godhead. Even though they fought head-to-head until now, the superiority and inferiority between the divine powers was not overshadowed. Was the god of oppression the most intelligent in this situation Before he knew it, the god of oppression had disappeared without a sound,pletely erasing even his presence. In the first ce, it would not have been difficult to escape since it was a godhead that did not reveal itself properly. DYou thought well. I never thought I would run away as soon as I saw the dark god. This is great as it is. Even Damcheonwu was in awe of the fact that the god of oppression had run away. Of course [Its like a damn dark god! also! Are you disturbing me again like back then! ] Just like there are people who are smart and there are people who are not. I smiled at him. Is the god of battle really without intelligence? I never thought I would be trembling with anger like that without any countermeasures . But for me its a good thing. You dont have to worry about the dark god unnecessarily. That would be the case Because you will die by my hands anyway. This is your chance to deal directly with the god of battle. *** Is godhood mental illness insurmountable? [This goddamn tower dog! Who dares to spit out such absurd remarks at someone without even knowing what he is capable of! ] As soon as the god of battle heard my provocation, he became enraged as if he had an anger control disorder. [Do you think you can win again when you cant even use Sadohwa? ] Quaaang! The god of battle immediately controlled the bloody tidal wave and quickly charged me in the air. It was such a speed that a chill ran up his spine even when his abilities had risen to the point where it was unbelievable. Still, a god is a god As the saying goes, even if it rots, the god of battle showed amazing power. [ die! ] Unlike the clichd line, the level of attack was different. Paaaa!! Its amazing. I admired the tidal wave of blood torn into hundreds of branches, each moving as if it had a will. Even if you use a seeker of fresh blood, you wont be able to control the blood so finely If there was someone who was clumsy in battle like the god of control instead of me in this ce, he would surely have suffered a fatal injury. But [The authority Heolcheon Deep Gong is strongly activated.] Even if I dont have a seeker of fresh blood, I do have a Blood Demon Magic Gong. It was a foolish choice to choose a vampire for < Advent >. His body was overflowing with vitality as he used the power enhancement function created when his divine power level reached A- grade. At least to this extent, he should be able to control blood to the level of a seeker of fresh blood. In response, I immediately drew arge amount of blood that had been split into hundreds of pieces with my fingertips and absorbed all of it. Surprisingly, however, the god of battle did not act as if he was at a loss. Rather [Hahaha! Its a skill Ive seen before, but I couldnt have prepared for it! be stupid! ] He gave a creepy smile as if something very good had happened. By the special power Blood Erosion, it is quickly eroded by the demons blood. A sensation arose that all the blood in my body was boiling hot. [Dont you know that Im several times better than you in terms of blood maniption skills!? ] He probably saw me before the god of battle and prepared for this ] If this was a power that was activated through the medium of demon blood, it wasnt that painful. No To be precise, it was close to the opposite. The skill Dehumanization is strongly activated. The vampire factor has beenpletely epted due to the skill Dehumanization. Because of the vampire factor stored in the skill Dehumanization, among the advantages of being a vampire Part of it is gradually transnted. The power that is fatal to humans no longer works on me. That would be the case [Uh? ] Now Im not a human in terms of the system. Chapter 193 193. Temple (5) Dehumanization. The effect of the skill acquired by defeating the High Lich in the past was very simple. to escape from the human race. Was it even because of inheriting skill proficiency from the High Lich? In the system, I was now being treated as a demon. So it was only natural that the god of battles attempt to inflict damage with the blood of demons would not work. The skill Depersonalization is strongly activated. But I fully epted the vampire factor because of the skill Depersonalization]. Nevertheless, this was an unexpected benefit. Due to the vampire factors stored in the skill Depersonalization, some of the advantages of the vampire species are gradually transnted. Receiving the advantages of the vampire species? Advantages Although it takes a little bit of time to transnt. Considering the generally known advantages of vampires, this is great luck. I dont know when Ill get my strengths transnted, but theres nothing wrong with having the racial characteristics of a vampire. Well, it seems to be going beyond being treated in the system and bing a demon at all. [What the hell is this!? ] Looking at the god of battle who couldnt help but be astonished, even the slightest bit of awkwardness disappeared. You really dont have any idea I never thought it would be such a trivial ploy to show off in preparation for my blood absorption. Oh, of course, it wasnt that the blood erosion itself was a meaningless operation. If I didnt have the depersonalization skill, I might have had a little trouble. But Is this all you prepared? Preparing a counter that could be eliminated with just one skill was not the same as boasting. He smiled and provoked him, and soon the god of battle growled very roughly. [To be arrogant with the power given by the tower! Ill crush those unlucky eyes! ] And The god of battle paid divine power to thebyrinth and obtained the right to use the divine power. Then, the moment when the god of battle shed red. Due to the divine < battle >, some of the challenger Han Seong-yoons magical abilities are temporarily transferred to the opponent. Divine power It was a phenomenon that caused her eyes to frown on their own. Looking at the system message, it seems that the mana was stolen by the divine < battle > You have a good divine that does not suit your personality. It was like a huge incident that could never be overlooked. It was worth it. Because the divinity possessed by a godhead has power that surpasses skills and authority. < Death >, which can instantly kill a low-ranking opponent. < Transcendence >, which can break the growth limit. < Reversal >, which makes it possible to resist the system. All of the divinities I currently possess are tremendous things that cannot be ignored The < Darkness > that the God of Darkness hasid on the earth is also powerful enough to easily kill a ranker ss challenger. Therefore, if the god of battle obtained the right to use divine powers, he could no longer be ignored. At that, I leaned out slightly and quickly shook my head. Perhaps the divine is the ability to take away my power without conditions. Isnt the divine < battle > able to bring the opponents power to the end of the battle? Due to the divine < battle >, some of challenger Han Seong-yoons strength stats are temporarily transferred to the opponent. Subsequently, even the power entering the body was lowered, adding more credibility to the guess. [ Haha! Youre slow! Lets y with that ignorant tongue again! Ill take it anyway! ] I was dumbfounded to see the god of battle who couldnt stand the chatter even in the midst of this. DI dont know why its like that, since my mental age doesnt degenerate in return for using divine power. Even Damcheonwu clicked his tongue as if he didnt know how to speak so persistently Now I also felt like I wanted to stop the god of battle from uttering his mouth in irritation. But By the divine < Battle >, some of the challenger Han Seong-yoons agility stats are temporarily transferred to the opponent. Isnt it too much to be able to steal so many abilities so quickly? I only thought about it for a moment, but its disgusting to see her stats taken away without giving her a break. Chow! Due to his abilities being absorbed, he was hit by a bloody sh swung by the god of battle. I couldnt afford to evade it. It was because the divine < Battle > even took away agility, and the god of battle naturally took the initiative. Movement speed and attack speed are temporarily decreased by the special power Blood de. [ Hahaha! Ego! Try struggling some more! Otherwise, this side wont lose! ] The god of battle was so excited that he even used the movement speed reduction power and swiftly swung a bloody sh. The authority skill Battle of Swordsman is strongly activated. Some of the physical strength stats are temporarily transferred to the opponent. By the divine < Battle >, some of the challenger Seongyoon Hans durability stats are temporarily transferred to the opponent. By the divine < Battle >, some of the magical abilities of the challenger Seongyoon Han is temporarily transferred to the opponent. As if there was no cooldown for the divine power, the stats continued to drop. Even Challenger Han Seong-yoons senses are greatly diminished by the divine < Battle >. DWhat the hell are you waiting for, why arent you even fighting back? Shouldnt you try something! Dam Cheonwu said that as if he was frustrated, but I also had my own thoughts. He would be too. I already have the card to turn this situation around. Myth < Reversal Hero > is deactivated. Remove the buff that reduces damage in addition to the increase in stats. Activate the myth < The Reversal Hero >. Then, as soon as the new myth was activated, the picture I wanted was drawn right away. Due to the deletion of the increase in stats, the stats absorbed by the divine < battle > will disappear. The disappearance of all the stats absorbed by the god of battle is more of a side ie. C Huh. The true goal was different. DI didnt know what I was waiting for, but I couldnt believe I was looking this far right The special buff < Unstoppable Pain > is activated. You take damage. I was aiming for a buff that couldpletely counter the divine < Combat >. *** Myth < The Warrior of Reversal > gives a buff suitable for thebat situation. He used that fact to hold out until he was cornered as much as possible before activating the myth. In order to acquire a good buff to solve this situation as much as possible. DYour ability to eat raw is amazing. I bet you didnt know youd hit it like this. And as if that choice wasnt wrong, I immediately began to overwhelm the god of battle. [Keuaaaagh! What is it! What the hell do you mean! This pain!! ] It deserved it. Due to the special buff < Unstoppable Pain >, fixed damage is dealt in proportion to the growth value. Even though the increase in stats disappeared, the god of battle immediately took the stats from me without any hesitation and < unstoppable pain > was applied to him. The main content of this buff is to receive fixed damage proportional to the growth value every second. So, at the point of applying this buff, it was expected that the god of battle would self-destruct. But I didnt know that, and I absorbed all the abilities from me ] Now, the fixed damage has be so strong that even if you dont do anything, you can cry and make a fuss by yourself. Seeing that, I smiled. You should have done that in moderation. Excessive feeding (^q). The god of battle absorbed the ability without knowing the middle, and it became poisonous and self-destructed. [ Big! bloke! Dont think this is the end! ] He shouted, grinding his teeth, as if he had noticed that the god of battle would also destroy himself. [I will risk everything to kill you! ] Of course Noisy. There was no need to listen to the end, so I swung my sword right away. Im sorry-! The preliminary apostle Sween Orbmand has been absorbed. Skill proficiency increases by 9.8%. The prospective apostle who wrote < Advent > by the god of battle died as soon as his head was cut off, scattering the spirits. At the same time, the tidal wave of blood that helped the god of battle to fight in the air so far was about to crumble The authority Blood Heaven Deep Gong is strongly activated. kept it from falling to the ground. If a corpse falls on thend engulfed by < darkness >, there will be no way to rescue it. And You have obtained the [Grail Fragment] of the battle camp. He even obtained the third Holy Grail Fragment. However, there was a feeling that even this was not enough. He didnt know about the Holy Grail fragments, but there was a need topletely defeat those who served the god of battle. An alliance with a demon god is topletely destroy a certain deity, so theres no help. It was right to use the remaining time to kill all the challengers belonging to the battle camp. Thoroughly prevented from going downstairs. But [I was thinking of helping you, but now you can fight without my help. ] That is also something that the situation should follow. [Its different from then. ] Looking at the dark god approaching, I felt my breath stop. It was because of the overwhelming divine power felt despite the state of borrowing Catherine Bets body. I thought for a moment with my mouth closed. What the hell is the god of darkness thinking? I couldnt understand. Why did you cast < Advent > on Katherine Be and why did you help me like this? Everything leads to doubt. [Your face has a lot of questions. ] The God of Darkness must have noticed that and continued with a benevolent smile. [Whoops. Its nice to ask questions without paying attention. Now that there are more things I can answer. ] And . After thinking for a while, I decided to ask a question. Then Ill ask you directly. Maybe Can I be special to you? He asked a question that might help him understand the Dark God. Chapter 194 194. The finalyer of thebyrinth (1) I was curious about it until now. Why is the dark god so obsessed with me? Oh, of course, I was curious as to why the other deities were unnecessarily hostile or friendly towards me. However,pared to the god of darkness, it couldnt be said to be hostility or goodwill without a cause. Those like the God of Proof or the God of Dragon, at least causality definitely existed. No matter how insignificant it may be, there was a reason to favor me. On the 11th floor stage, there was the least reason that he passed the ordeal of proof better than anyone else and achieved the achievement of the Dragon God ss on the 14th floor ordeal. Well, I still dont know what that bastards Dragon God type is. So it wasnt strange that the two of them were kind to me. But the Dark God did not. I dont know why you are helping me this much. It was worth it. The Dark God was obsessed with me more than other deities. Therefore, the question itself was natural. I wont be like this unless I be something special to you. At those words, the Dark God was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth with a bitter smile. [ I like intelligent children, but I dont like being this direct. ] To put it in a word, it meant that he was stabbed to the point. -Its not nice. They must be doing that because they dont want to reveal their ns. In any case, things called divine powers Dam Chun-wu also noticed that and grumbled at me with a whole tone. C I dont understand. You and Goddess both like to eat raw food very much. Does understanding mean that there is something you know? C To some extent. However, I cannot tell you in detail. There are restrictions on the top. So dont expect anything from me. I didnt even expect it in the first ce. What else can I expect from a foodie who eats rice? I fully understand DIts not detailed, but I can tell you a little bit! Damcheonwu asked for the bait right away, as if it was unfair that he was treated as a useless insectivore. DPerhaps the God of Darkness wants to make you an apostle. Apostle? Its already clumsy, but even apotheosis is in progress? -Yes. Even a deity can fall under another deity. When I climbed the tower, I often saw such divinities. This sounds like a lot of information, but is there any penalty for saying this? DOriginally, this is information that should have been prepared for extinction, but since you have be stronger and have be much stronger and know more, this is allowed. Thats good news. If this happens, Dam Chun-wus position will be upgraded to a partner with many corners to use. Feeling satisfied with him, I opened my mouth soon. Do you really want to make me an apostle? And [Ha. Originally, I didnt want to tell you like this, but I cant help it. yes kid I want to make you an apostle. ] Hearing from the God of Darkness that this deduction is the correct answer made meugh. [You are so smart. To the extent that it was too wasteful for something like a tower to bear. But thats not all. ] But wasnt it close to his true intention to make him an apostle? [There is something else I really want from you. ] She said that other things were more important than her intention to be an apostle. [The moment when you are truly given a ce of transcendence where you can fulfill your longing for the tower. ] As she said that, her face was wet with ecstasy. [Will the tower do what it wants, or will it create a new ending] I had a hunch about that. [I just want to see the moment when everything ends. ] At least the god of darkness is not a deity to trust. *** I have heard from the demon about the secret wish of the tower. Its also quite detailed. The Tower wants a transcendent in the true sense of being close to omniscience and omnipotence! omnipotence. God in the true sense of the word who knows everything and can do everything, whatever it is. Tower was hoping for that, and it could be said that I was the one who was selected as the candidate. However, that would be the creation of an instrumental existence in order to use it for a certain purpose. The towers true longing lies beyond the birth of a being that transcends even the gods. [Haa -am Im sorry . Now I cant keep < Advent > .] The god of darkness yaws off the fascination. [You wont be able to face each other in thebyrinth, but my child, Ive chosen a follower to help you] She closed her eyes and continued talking in an almost muffled voice. [I will deliver my reward from the giant treebyrinth through a believer] And then. [Lets meet at the towerter] With those words, the ck divinity that flowed from Catherine Be disappeared and her eyes werepletely closed. The divine < darkness > is canceled, and the dark energy that encroaches on the earth disappears. The divine < darkness > was lifted, and the dark aura around them disappeared before they knew it. Dam Chun-wu said in a calming voice, as if he was finally going to take a breath. D < Advent > has been cancelled. Things worked out fortunately. If the Dark God was the enemy, it would have been extremely difficult. It must have been. The dark god is so strong that even the gods are frightened. Something like me would have died in an instant. -okay. So dont be cocky. The god of battle was nothing more than a babypared to the ancient deity, such as the god of darkness. DIt was not a good choice to be as conceited as before in a situation where the Godheads are targeting you. Im fully self-aware even if I dont have to say it. I regretted it. I never thought that the dark god would descend on Catherine Bet It was an unexpected situation, but I was entirely responsible for it. Even this situation should have been expected a long time ago. In any case, there was a clue to guess that < Advent > would happen, and even if it was unknown, it was necessary to prepare thoroughly. Then I realized that I had to whip myself a little. Now its time to go back to the tower. In thebyrinth, I attacked the ss in a unteral massacre, but after realizing my limits with my own skin like this, I realized how insignificant I was. As soon as I return to the tower, I have to grow as much as possible. Skills, authority, divinity I had to grow to the point where I couldnt lose to anyone. Otherwise, all that awaits is the end of death. -hmm. Now I can see your face. w. After all, that face suits you the best. What is my face like right now? DThis is the face you see when you see an enemy you cant defeat. It wasnt a good situation. At least it seems to have been enough energizer for you. . It seems to be teasing, but surprisingly, the voice itself is serious. So the annoyance rose. It was notmon to think that someone might not be from the Moorim dimension . ha. As I sighed and collected myself, a system message suddenly came to my mind. The vampire factor stored in the skill Depersonalization responds to the users emotions. Could theplicated current state be the cause? Receive racial advantages from the vampire factor stored in the skill Dehumanization. The vampire factor, which was acquired unintentionally from the blood erosion power used by the god of battle, suddenly moved. That too Receives the body merit < Moonlight Favor > transnted from the vampire factor stored in the skill Depersonalization. In a pretty good direction. *** Originally, I didnt expect much from the depersonalization skill. Should I just say that its a device that can cheat a little on the system? He did not think that this skill acquired from the High Lich was worth more than that. But it wasnt. All stats increase by +4 due to the physical strength < Moonlight Favor >. The depersonalization skill allows you to be recognized not as a human race but as a demon at the same time. Due to her physical advantage < Moonlight Favor >, all stats increase by 10% in ces with moonlight. I was able to take the racial factor into my blood and turn it into strength. Due to the physical advantage < Moonlight Favor >, all kinds of growth speed increases by 10% in ces with moonlight. The result was amazing beyond what I could have imagined. Have you seen such a crazy race A lot has changed even though he has been imnted with one of the advantages of the vampire race. Seriously to the point where I realized that the racial difference is so big that it makes no sense. DHave you seen such crazy luck! Hex! This is witchcraft! Theres no way this is possible! Even Dam Chun-wu started going wild, saying that this was nonsense C I mean, where in the world is thew to gain this much power day by day? The physical strength of the vampire race < Moonlight Favor > was deceitful and there was no need to exin. To him, I smiled and replied with a smirk. Where are you? Are you in this ce? And this is also a skill. DPoetry skills? Lets go!? You really shouldnt even have a conscience! Well, its not that the growth rate is going up because of conscience, but what if its not there? DIf I can take only about 40% of the luck that exists with you, I should be able to conquer the tower as well. If even opening ones mouth to the tower is controlled, what kind of conquest is conquest? D Dam Chun-wu, as if he had nothing to say, kept his mouth shut with a gloomy expression, and I immediately opened my eyes to the vitality rushing into my body. Is this the advantage of being a vampire? It was huge. The conditional ability was quite useful, as well as the ability buff like all ability points +4. All stats and growth rates increase just by being under the moonlight? For humans without any racial advantage, it was an advantage like rainwater in a drought. Its a conditional thing that bothers me a little, but its a skill thats good enough to use in the tower or outside. It might be useless in areas where moonlight doesnt fall Even that could be solved by artificially creating the ability to generate moonlight. Then really, this racial advantage will bring me tremendous benefits. In any case, this ability is up to you to handle. Ill have to look for a skill that can use moonlight when I go back to the towerter. Then, I immediately converted all of themanders into stats. Its more efficient to use it here than to have it anyway. Permanently increase stats by using all possessed spirits. Muscle strength increased by 18 Agility increased by 19. Stamina increased by 16. Magic power increased by 19. Durability increased by 19. 16 It has risen. Perhaps thanks to killing two of the preliminary apostles, his abilities went up considerably. Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the reserve apostle Swen Orb. The skill Master/Servant Contract (A+) is created. A master/servant contract was created as a skill .. .Can you strengthen your servants by signing a master-servant contract? I thought it was not a skill worth using. But was it different in Dam Chun-wus eyes? DYou have acquired a useful skill. can i use this like this Its a pretty good skill. Where are you going to use this? DIf you want to use it, you can use it as much as you like. If I were to make a servant uniform that would be used once and thrown away, that would be the case, but -No. Theres no need to do that. Are you there too? A colleague with whom you can make a master-servant contract. At that, I widened my eyes. Dam Chun-wus opinion is that its okay to write on the fallen Catherine Be Are you insane? It was an absurd proposal, so the words came out in a rough way without me knowing. DI just said this from the bottom of my heart. Your colleague, Catherine Bet, is no longer something to protect. She is an equal challenger. . DSince the God of Darkness has selected you as a reserve apostle, you should be able to use the apostle painting, so it will be helpful to you as well. Still, Im not socking in morality as to use it like that. At least I wouldnt use it that way unless it was really needed. Even if you use this once, it doesnt seem easy to break the master-servant rtionship. It was then. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Suddenly, the thick trees copsed at once and a woman withnguid eyes in a ck robe appeared. In response, I immediately took a vignt posture, holding the sword in my hand tightly. A formidable enemy. It could easily be seen from the flow of divine power flowing from the outside. Its enough to easily overwhelm a reserve apostle with tolerable holy power In such a tired state, he is a powerful enemy who may even use the final resistance. Even Catherine Bet, who lost consciousness due to the aftereffects of < Advent >, must be protected There will be no other desperate situation like this. But Are you the challenger Han Seong-yoon? The tension running down his back soon dissipated. That would be too Chuck! I am Aria, an apostle serving the God of Darkness. It was because she knelt down on me in a very restrained position. Even ording to the will of the God of Darkness, I will serve the challenger Han Seong-yoon to the finalyer of thebyrinth. Even with very sincere eyes. Chapter 195 195. Labyrinth finalyer (2) Aria. The apostle wearing a ck robe said to have been sent by the god of darkness had eyes full of excitement. Originally, it ismon sense to recognize challengers belonging to other camps as enemies Please do not feel pressured and give me an order. Apparently, this woman had no such concept at all, so she waspletely defenseless. To the extent that if I made up my mind right here and swung my sword, I could kill him in a matter of seconds. I opened my mouth soon after frowning at him. What is the purpose? My head hurts now because of my actions outside ofmon sense. Of course, I think I know how things went. Perhaps the dark god gave this woman an order, like an oracle or something. The content is presumably amand to assist me. But still I didnt understand. To give up the reward that can be obtained by reaching the deepest part of this giant treebyrinth just by order of a god? Its a mindset that I cant quiteprehend. Is this really a real favor without any tricks? After thinking about it for a while, I heard words from Dam Chun-wu. DAt times like this, I realize that you are truly a challenger from the 40th floor and earlier. There is nothing to worry about. It wont do you any harm. What is that C Being an apostle is not a role y. Without fanatical faith in God, it is impossible to be selected as a preliminary apostle, let alone an apostle. DSeeing that he has this level of divinity, he must be an official apostle, but at that level, he has faith beyond a fanatic. In a word, hes a fanatic who can die even if the God of Darkness tells him to die. -Yes. So there is nothing to worry about. If the God of Darkness really asked you to assist, this apostle will act ording to your will. At least it was good news. Considering Catherine Bet, who fainted in the aftermath of the release of < Advent >, and the other team members, I cant fight leisurely here. Therefore, it would be better to ept even the undesirable favor. Thats the right decision. I said my name was Aria. But If you really intend to follow my orders, I wont refuse. Shouldnt there be at least minimal preparations? But there are conditions. Arya, who was still on her knees, immediately designated a skill and activated it. The skill Master/Servant Contract is activated. Designates 4th-ss apostle Arya as the subject of the contract. If you ept the Master/Servant contract, I will truly trust you. It was a master-servant contract skill learned from a preliminary apostle who served the ruling god. DBefore, they talked about morality and what, but this is not even stabbed by conscience? As there is a saying to cross a stone bridge by knocking on it Sure. Its a skill thats not meant to be used in the first ce, but I have to use it like this. And theyre potential enemies anyway. It was right to remove the buds that could cause dangerter. DCrazy man Because thats the path with no regrets. *** Surprisingly, Arya did not reject the master-servant contract. chuck. if thats really Han Seong-yoons will, Ill do it. Now he even prostrated himself and immediately epted the master-servant contract. A master-servant contract was established with mutual consent. All stats of 4th-level apostle Arya will increase by +14. 4th-ss apostle Arya will never go against the master-servant rtionship. Even if it is a useless ability , Its name is an A+ level skill This raises stats by 14? The Master/Servant contract skill showed a crazy increase in stats. I fell silent at the significant increase in my abilities. In the master-servant contract skill description, the ability increase rate of the subordinate designated as a subordinate was set at 10%. In other words this apostle named Aria has all types of abilities exceeding 140. Even if thats because he entered thebyrinth and his stats must have been lowered. How the hell is this possible? Of course, I can hit this level as many times as I can by activating various abilities But what was surprising was the surprise. As I was quietly admiring him, Arya stood up and took off her robe. I cant believe you bestowed such grace on me when I first saw you! Indeed, he is generous enough to remind me of the God of Darkness! Only then did the blurry appearancee into view. Gray hair, a flushed face as if suffering from a slight fever, and even sparkling eyes that felt absolute devotion . I dont know what the hell he heard about me from the dark god but it wasnt hard to see that he basically had a lot of goodwill towards me. I was able to give orders to Arya with some peace of mind. For now, please restore and protect myrades. Catherine Bet is suffering from the aftereffects of < Advent > and the rest of the team is in a situation where even life and death are unclear It was only natural to protect her colleagues with the highest priority. But Arya took one look at Katherine Be and then mumbled and looked at me wide. Seongyoon Han. Were sorry, but this prospective apostle cannot be cured. It is beyond my ability. It was a reaction as if he didnt know what to do with his troubles. Does out of ability mean that there is no healing ability at all? Not like that! Even though I dont have the ability to heal, it was bestowed on me by the God of Darkness! Okay, lets get to the point. This prospective apostle suffers from the aftereffects of < Advent > and even a fever. This is not an area that can be treated. Fever? When I first heard the words, I frowned, and the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and the words resonated in my head. DFever is like the growing pains you suffer from in the process of being injected with divine power. Are you experiencing growing pains? It was absurd. Previously, on the 11th floor stage, I killed a prospective apostle and acquired divine power. At that time, I also acquired divinity for the first time, but I never suffered from a fever. In my case, there was no growing pain even after gaining divine power. D Pretending to know that a guy who doesnt even seem to have gone through a normal divinity acquisition path. Thats what youre special about, and its not like that in general. Then is it normally different? -yes. Those with low physical abilities cannot withstand the divinity injected from the gods and suffer from high fevers. Ill have to wait until I get used to the power given to me. How long will the feverst? DUsually for about a day. However, the duration varies depending on the level of divinity injected If it is a preliminary apostle level holy power, you will not be able to open your eyes unconditionally for a week. If thats real, things arent good. In the Holy Ground on the 7th floor, trials are conducted mainly with battles between different factions and the struggle for the Holy Grail Fragments. Of course, I collected more than one [Grail Fragment], which is the entry condition for the 8th floor, but thats why its a more problematic situation. Since they have more [Grail Fragments] than other camps, they must be easy targets. So, now that other camps are aiming at me, I must have expected some degree of it It was very unreasonable to go around with a colleague who had fallen like this. It was worth it. Because there might still be deities who can use < Advent > on the 7th floor. Even if that wasnt the case, it was very difficult to fight against those protected by the gods. But it wasnt that the situation was out of control. I know roughly what the situation is. Then please protect Catherine instead of me. It is because Arya, an apostle sent by the God of Darkness, exists. I will follow your orders. She took a restrained stance and immediately put Katherine Be on her back. Because of the master-servant rtionship, you cant refuse an order, so you dont have to worry about betrayal, so its like this. But I couldnt bepletely relieved. This is also the fault of the team members. Now that the barrier is gone, I dont know what will happen to Kim Seung-hun and Oh Chun-seok. Since they did not possess divinity, there was a high possibility that they would be fatally injured in the aftermath of the divine power. So I quickly took Arya and moved to the point where I had set up a barrier with my guardian skill. And I couldnt help but frown at the sight that appeared soon after. *** DHmm. Your condition is worse than you think. It wouldnt be strange if he died soon. Are ominous premonitions always wrong? Originally, Kim Seung-hun and Oh Chun-seok were spread around the pit covered with barriers, bleeding. Even with the skin dyed ck. Sacred poisoning. As I approached them, frowning, Arya spoke as if exining. Perhaps the essence of the soul was damaged by exposure to divine power. Essence strike? Thats right. This is often the case. If a person with a low spirituality is exposed to the power of a godhead even a little, they will be hit in essence like this. This was a symptom I could recognize. As soon as the god of proof drew attention on the 11th floor, he immediately crossed the line of fire . -There is nothing to worry about. This poisoning can be cured with a few months of meditation. Damcheonwu said that he would be fine if he rested for a few months but Its impossible to rest for several months while going down thebyrinth. It was no different from being in a very unsuitable state for going down thebyrinth. Ill probably die for real if I go on like this. so. I cant help it It was the timing to make the most rational decision. Lets consume all [HP] and return it to Earth. ording to thew of thebyrinth-only system, when all [HP] is consumed, you are expelled from thebyrinth. Thew was still being applied steadily. Thanks to the [Box of Life] I got while descending thebyrinth, I dont have to worry too much about it but my teammates dont, so I was able to get them out of thebyrinth for sure. The only question is whether there will be any problems if they are expelled like that. Even if they are expelled from thebyrinth, there wont be much of a problem. After hearing my exnation for that part, Aria immediately said that she didnt have to worry. Anyway, even if you are expelled from thebyrinth, you will only lose a few abilities or skills. Specs down For the penalty thates at the cost of saving his life, he wasnt so hopeless. Whether its skills or stats, in the end, you can recover as long as youre alive. If you slowly reduce [HP], you will be able to safely get yourrades out of thebyrinth. Is that so. Because of the master-servant contract, he couldnt even lie, so the information itself was clear. -Its fortunate in misfortune. To be able to get out of this ce to the point of losing a little bit of strength. Its like a miracle to them. He also advised that sending Dam Chun-wu out of thebyrinth was the right choice. DEven if people who do not qualify are here, they will only leave with irreparable wounds. Return it to its original ce. Without hesitation, I moved right away. It wasnt difficult to consume [HP] itself. By inflicting a stab wound that caused continuous bleeding, the two quickly exhausted all [HP]. It was worth it. After the barrier disappeared, he must have been exposed to battles between various deities using < Advent >. Considering that, even if the damage to the soul was excluded, it would have been enough damage. The bleeding itself wasnt threatening enough to bring death to the challenger but it was still possible to cause consumption of [HP], a system dedicated to thebyrinth. Challenger Seunghun Kim consumes all of her HP and is banished back to her original world. Challenger Chunseok Oh consumes all of her HP and is banished back to her original world. Looking at the teammates disappearing in the light, I felt bitterness on my lips. It was also a while. There was no time to deeply feel the regret. 11 out of 20 deity camps have lost their [Grail Fragments]. A message popped up saying that nearly half of the deity camps had already met the elimination condition Conditions satisfied . Things started to happen. The holy war begins to elerate gradually. The remaining time is reduced by half and the remaining time goes by faster. For some deities with very low spirits, the powers of Apotheosis and Incarnation are temporarily applied. [Holy Grail] will be given to the divinity faction that collects 10 or more [Holy Grail Fragments]. Is it really a stage with the concept of a holy war in the Holy Land? The < Transcendence > factions divinity is of a very low rank, so the conditions have been met . Apotheosis will be released from the seal only on the 7th floor stage. This is how? It seems to be a bit more bnced now. Chapter 196 196. Labyrinth finalyer (3) The fact that the seal of apotheosis was lifted was an unexpected benefit. It was worth it. For a godhead, it is a very basic knowledge to the extent that it is ssified as a basic divine authority After all abilities were sealed by thebyrinth, he had toe down the floor without even having the basic knowledge. Of course, deification itself was a power that could be regained at any time. Thebyrinth allowed challengers to bring their original abilities whenever they went down the hierarchy. But Ive never thought of getting my apotheosis back. That would be too Apotheosis was a power that was close to a guild to be an ability that had to be restored after breaking through the hierarchy. If the physical abilities were not supported, the body would burst like a balloon pricked by a needle as soon as deification was activated. So it was of no use. But now its different. Han Seong-yoon HP C 417/450 MP C 207/240 Muscle C 111 Stamina C 117 Agility C 115 Magic Power C 114 Endurance C 113 Unique Attribute C Necromancy (A) Inherent Authority C Skill Synthesis Unique Divine Authority C Transcendence (SSS+) Basic Divine Authority C Apotheosis (SS+) Boss Power C Divine Power (A) Blood Heaven (C+) Warriors Protection (C+) Brightness Index (C-) Faith Harvest (C+) Skill C See details There was a huge gap with the abilities seen on the first floor of thebyrinth. Of course,pared to when I was outside, I still think its a long way off Since his stats have risen enough, he should be able to use Deification without difficulty. Now, all of his stats are over three digits, and if he receives the assistance of Shinhwa, he should be able to handle deification. At that, I smiled softly. I didnt expect to benefit like this. DI dont think its something Im going to like that much. There are people out there that you really like. However, the slightly excited feelings did notst long and were subdued by Dam Tianyu. DDeities whose spiritual status is so low that they dont even look like them. Although the number is small, it is not non-existent. Damcheonwu continued to speak in a low tone as if he was worried. DEven though you have been deified, you have not been able to receive the incarnation. But low-ss deities are different. The seals must have been lifted for the deities who also have incarnations. -answer. So, there is no reason to be happy. From now on, some of the lesser deities will run rampant. I dont think its going to be that serious. Its not wrong, of course, but it was an opinion that couldnt be said to be right blindly. Even if you can use some basic divine powers, the gods cannot run wild. Wouldnt the deities who cant use Apotheosis take action if it seems like each others camp is about to copse? Powerful deities who could not be allowed the power of deification and incarnations can also use < Advent >. So, through that, I will put pressure on the deities who can use deification as much as possible. Whatever the case may be, there are only a handful of deities that are low enough to be allowed to be deified, so the check itself should be effective. Therefore, I just have to look at the liver quietly in between. DDo you really think so? but. DThere is no need to keep an eye on the gods. If its a problem to deal with a high-level godhead, you can deal with a low-level godhead. There was something overlooked. DAnd a low-level deity that reveals the location in real time is right here. thats right A number of nomination rights have been used for challenger Han Seong-yoon. Challenger Han Seong-yoons location is open to all camps and is designated as non-stealth. That I am currently in a really good situation to be targeted by someone. The clumsy god of deterioration fixes the appearance location of the special divine power incarnation to challenger Han Seong-yoon. The clumsy god of observation fixes the appearance location of the special divine power incarnation to the challenger Han Seong-yoon. The false god of misery fixes the appearance location of the special divine power incarnation to challenger Han Seong-yoon. Looking at the shy messages, I had no choice but to realize it. shit. That there are not so many rewards that can be eaten day by day in this world. *** My emotions quickly subsided and my thoughts elerated. I didnt even think aboutmenting now that unexpected situations were constantly happening. Im just thinking about how to get over this gobi. Soon, I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the system message that still remained. For now, I had at least some understanding of what this system message meant. The incarnation is probably a special power that summons an avatar of a godhead Judging by the phrase that the appearance location is fixed, an avatar will be created near me immediately after use. However, seeing that the location of the appearance was fixed and not used right away, I felt that there was another ulterior motive. DAre you lucky among misfortunes? You guys are looking at each other. I know that its a loss to send each other an incarnation first. It was worth it. They must know that the incarnation that appearedter gains the position of a fisherman. If the first incarnation gets tired from fighting me, the next incarnation will have an advantage. It was a time when I thought that it was fortunate that I bought time for him. Creepy. Fixing the location of the appearance. On the subject of insignificant misceneous gods, you dare to do nonsensical tricks to Han Seong-yoon Before I knew it, Arya was chewing on her fingernails with her eyes darkened. Even to the extent that a life that cannot be hidden from her body is blooming little by little. DI dont know why hes doing that again. In any case, the apostles are all bitter bastards. Seeing this, Damcheonwu muttered as if he was fed up, and then continued. DIt seems that a lot of misceneous gods have been twisted. This level should be enough for you to deal with. Surprisingly, Dam Chun-wu did not view the current situation so badly. C clumsy clumsy false. Those who have such modifiers attached to their names are misceneous gods among misceneous gods. So if you dont rush in unison, theres nothing to worry about. surely. I had never seen such an insignificant adjective attached to Shinmyeong. All the divinities Ive seen so far have only brief divinity traits like Proof or Darkness. Even the lowest deity did not deviate from this regrity. However, the fact that they are wearing such low-quality adjectives must be proof that they are really low-level. In addition to this, the situation is not as unfavorable as I thought, seeing as they do not rush at each other in concert, but aim for the fishermans geography and check it. However, it is not known how long this situation will persist. Is it supposed to be a kind of pre-storm state? Even in a situation where the gods notice each other, I was sure that this would notst long. and. Seongyoon Han. The ghosts seem to be moving now. Challengers areing this way. Indeed, as if she wasnt wrong, she could hear the bad news from Arya. DIs it really inducing the challengers belonging to their camp to consume their strength It was pretty obvious what the evil spirits were aiming for. By having them engage in a battle of attrition, they would take away a lot of my strength and send out each others incarnations after that. I smiled at him. Its a war of attrition To be honest, the strategy itself chosen by the gods was fine. If the prey is exhausted, the advantage of theter aiming for the fishermans geography will be greatly reduced. They can create a situation where they can attack each other at any time. But thats only when its assumed to be the normal case. Since he doesnt know anything about me, he must have chosen an unlikely tactic like a war of attrition. war of attrition? This could be called my long-term skill. The nastier the fight bes, the longer it gets, the stronger I get. If you give me an order, I will deal with all of those cultists without leaving a single one behind. Arya shed her gray eyes, revealing her dark flesh, but I shook her head to stop her. Aria, please protect Catherine. Its going to be a little more noisy from now on. After saying that, I started preparing for the uing battle. Confirm your will. There are 71 items dedicated to breaking through the ranks of the 3rd floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [The Corrupted Fairys Control Area]. All items stored in a random space will be sent to challenger Han Seong-yoon. For now, all the items umted through the contract with the fallen fairy were transferred to this ce. Until now, there was no reason to summon items, but Its different now. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering (B) is activated. It was worth it. I need to recover as much divine power as possible to use Apotheosis. It was a situation where I had to recover my divine power even by consuming all these items. I was given a bag (D+) to handle rainwater from myself. Reces the corresponding items with divine power and umtes them in the heart. He was offered a sword (E-) imbued with a deep light from himself Rece the corresponding items with divine power and umte them in the heart Take an offering of the staff of mana regeneration (D) from yourself Rece the corresponding items with holy power and bless the heart As many items were reced with divine power and umted, a lot of divine power was restored. But even this isnt enough. I had to build up enough divine power to maintain the deification for as long as possible. Well, there are no items that can be reced with divinity anymore Inherent Authority Skill Synthesis has been activated. Even that could be solved with the skills he had umted so far. View the skill list. Please choose a synthetic material from the existing skills. Without having to consider skillbinations, I was able to acquire high-ranked skills. That would be too The authority Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Fortune temporarily and violently increases. This is because I had the power to increase my luck to an extreme level. Skill synthesis has beenpleted. A new skill is created. So, high-ranked skills were created, and regardless of their usefulness, divine power quickly umted. DAt this point, divinity is almost duplicated. It is absurd. Soon, all the synthesized skills were converted into divine power, and a satisfactory level of divine power gathered in his heart. and. Coo-goo-goo-! As soon as all preparations for battle were finished, an unexpected change urred. as soon as. I never thought that something like this would be possible. A bluish orb was created in the sky, imbued with the most gloomy aura. A terrible sadness is engraved on the enemies designated by the special power Moonlight of misery that holds lies. Enemies designated for the special power Moonlight of Misery with Lies will lose their HP when they feel sad. I think its probably a mental system power that can touch emotions All emotions created artificially by the power of Myeongkyung Index will disappear. I had already prepared everything for the power of the mental system, so I didnt care much. Condition satisfied. Body advantage < Moonlight Favor > is activated. Even unexpected abilities were activated thanks to the special authority given by the enemy. Because it is a ce with moonlight, all stats increase by 10%. Because it is a ce with moonlight, the growth rate of all types increases by 10%. I didnt expect < Moonlight Favor > to be activated even with artificial moonlight Its fun. I thought to him with a deep smile. The skill Star Light Starlight is strongly activated. This is a fight you can never lose even if you want to lose. *** Holy Knight. A knight infused with divinity by a god could be said to be an agglomeration of pride in the dimension of Ares. It was worth it. Those who are favored by the gods quickly reach a level that even knights belonging to the imperial family cannot reach. Even the emperor who ruled the empire had a status that was respectable even if it was a show. It did not change even after the tower came into being. Therefore, as soon as the challenger, Regvik, found out that he had been seduced by the gods in the Labyrinth of Giant Trees, he felt joy. The clumsy god of deterioration sends goodwill to the challenger, Legvik. Even if it was a misceneous god he had never heard of, it was because the godhead showed favor to him. Perhaps, as a believer, you may be able to receive divinity from a godhead Legvik thoroughly served the clumsy god of deterioration, and it came to fruition as he reached the 7th floor stage. Challenger Legvik has been selected as the < Deterioration > faction [Gods representative] and [Grail Fragments] will be given. Oh oh oh oh! The great god of heat! I will serve you! He was designated as a prospective apostle, and it was not enough to receive divinity, so he even acquired various powers. Results beyond imagination. Regvik cheered for being the chosen one, but it soon disappeared. It was because of reaching the 7th floor and realizing that there were quite a few people who were selected as Gods representatives. However, he thought that there was no way he would lose the battle with the other reserve apostles. He was a knight who knew how to wield an aura sword, and he received a lot of power from the clumsy god of deterioration. But that thought began to fade as time passed. A terrible sadness is engraved on the enemies designated by the special power Moonlight of misery that holds lies. Enemies designated for the special power Moonlight of Misery with Lies will lose their HP when they feel sad. In the sky, an artificial moonlight was created that emits blue light I can no longer hide due to the special authority, The gaze of an observer looking down on everything. All stats decrease by -10 due to the special power, The gaze of an observer looking down on everything. Above the top of his head, the divine eyeballs began to look down at all challengers. At that, Regvik drool, realizing how alien the current situation was. thats terrible. Gods authority oveps like this. Its be something like that. The clumsy god of deterioration grinds his teeth, saying that things like wildcats are stuck. The current situation could not be said to be good in empty words. Keep it off. My head feels like its going to break Cool cool cool! Uh uh uh Whose tears wont stop shit! My stats are already low, but what if I get a debuff again! In the midst of moving to hit the other camp, the challengers from the same camp started to suffer. The situation is not so good. They wouldnt have fought each other, but the challengers from the same camp were losing their vitality. It was not enough, so the ability was lowered and designated as non-stealth, so the anxiety swelled. If you keep going like this, if you are attacked by another faction on the way, you will die without any preparation. Regvik asked her secret questions about her god. Oh God. Is it really right to go there? We are getting tired. Although it was a question that stemmed from the desire to allow retreat, the answer that came back was a far cry from expectations. The clumsy god of deterioration urges the challenger Legvik, saying that it is useless to worry. Sorry. But I feel like Im really going to die if I keep going like this The clumsy god of deterioration says it doesnt matter since you guys are just consumables anyway. If the clumsy god of deterioration drains challenger Han Seong-yoons strength, he will take care of the rest himself, so dont worry. All right. Regvik pressed his lips together tightly, finished his words, and moved on again. He couldnt help it. Because he is a prospective apostle who serves God and has not been given the right to decide. Legvik, unable to do anything, tried to reassure himself. Okay. After all, all you have to do is tire the enemy God is aiming for. I should be able to do that no matter how tired I am. The clumsy god of heat boasted that he would directly manifest himself as an incarnation. So, he thought, all he had to do was follow the path God led and tire the enemy at the end. Then the god himself will appear incarnate, y the enemy, and allow him to go downstairs. But that belief didntst long. That would be too What! It was because of a high-level sh that Legvik couldnt even fathom suddenly from the front. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Regvik screamed with his eyes wide open at the dark red sh that reminded him of starlight. This crazy!? In an unimaginably unexpected wide-area period, he immediately activated his authority. The special power, The Shroud of Deterioration that Brings Weed is activated. All external attacks that touch the veil are greatly deteriorated. The special power bestowed upon him by the clumsy god of deterioration protects the challengers who form the same camp. Kwagwagwagwagwa! The dark red holy light that seemed to crush even the earth collided with the curtain of deterioration made of power. At that moment, the holy light staggered and at the same time lowered the intensity of the light Thats all. Kwajangchang! Subsequently, the curtain of deterioration shattered terribly and a dark red holy light swept around. Quaaaaaa! Of course, the Holy Light had deteriorated more than before and was able to withstand it well enough A total of 17 challengers belonging to the < Degradation > camp died. This is a level that even a prospective apostle like Legvik can endure. Quaaaaa! damn rain! The eyes do not see the eyes! Hey healer! No healers!? Most of the challengers were either dead or mortally wounded. ha ha ha. Is this all a dream? yes? Cant this make sense? Even with a very serious blow to the psyche. and. Legvik could see the culprit behind the situation through the terrain opened up by the starlight. oh. There are many challengers who belong to it even though it is unexpected. It will be fine as it is. He was smiling as if he could do this level of tragedy casually. Regvik even forgot to breathe and trembled at the overflowing divine power around him. It was intuition. I am astonished that there is no such thing as a clumsy god of deterioration! that is Hee hee hee! Poetry God! It is a real god that ispletely different from the god he serves. *** I guessed, but the enemies werent strong enough to ask me to fight attrition. Is it at the level where the holy light can be cleaned up at once? Even though it was at maximum output, the camp copsed at the level of holy light that did not consume all of the divine power. The clumsy god of deterioration protests harshly to the manager of thebyrinth, iming that this is unjust! In addition, the other partys affairs fell into a state of panic, and a sense of satisfaction filled the whole body The camp clearing rewards didnt end there. The authority Reaping Faith is strongly activated. You harvest the faith in you from those around you. There is not enough folklore and faith to base it on. The harvested faith is stored for the next myth. Is fear also a kind of faith? oh. harvest of faith. Upon entering the 7th floor, the powers that had been released from the seal were automatically activated. Perhaps, at the end of this battle, a new myth will emerge. As the level of divine power rises, the myth integration function has also been created Through the myths that will be obtainedter, you may be able to use the benefits of features you hadnt even thought of. Im looking forward to it. What kind of myth will arise this time? Its worth seeing. In response, I left a small expectation and soon activated another holy light in my left hand. Since the current camp that has been dealt with is < Deterioration >, the remaining two camps also had the intention to work on it. and. Aaaaaaaang! A total of 11 challengers belonging to the < Observation > faction have died. The clumsy god of observation is greatly perplexed by the unexpected situation and suspects that thebyrinth has exceeded its authority! Kwakwagwagwang! A total of 14 challengers belonging to the < Misery > camp have died. The false god of misery has disbelief that this is truly a mortal beings ability to use! The rest of the camps were also organized by using the holy light twice without wasting more time. DI didnt know that the defense system authority could gather so many useless people. Iknow, right. There is no faction that blocks the Holy Light properly. Everyone is close to extinction. Even if there were survivors in the opposing camp, the situation was not rxed enough to continue the battle. In response, I immediately moved my body and absorbed the spirits scattered around me as much as possible. It was an essential process to go through because it was to be used in the battle against the deity from now on. The spirit of the challenger Cetiligen has been absorbed. Skill has increased by 0.0017%. I have absorbed themand of the challenger New Grid Skill has increased by 0.0041% Absorbing the spirit of the challenger Coachalkan Skill level increased by 0.0089% and. The clumsy god of deterioration swears to cooperate with the gods in order to eliminate challenger Han Seong-yoon. The god of clumsy observation swears to cooperate with the gods in order to eliminate challenger Han Seong-yoon. The false god of misery swears to cooperate with the gods in order to eliminate challenger Han Seong-yoon. By the time the collection of spirits was all over, each of the deities popped up a message. -w. I realized now that we are not in a position to fish for each other. They must have realized that they had to work together. The Godheads no longer considered me their prey. A clumsy god of deterioration activates the special divine authority Incarnation and appears in a fixed location. The god of clumsy observation activates the special divine authority Incarnation and appears in a fixed location. The false God of Misery activates the special divine authority Incarnation and appears in a fixed location. To them, I became a formidable enemy that must be defeated unconditionally, even by joining forces. oh oh oh! Finally, you are moving your heavy body yourself. Then, at the strange torrent of divinity that swirled around me, I smiled and activated my authority. An authority with truly fraudulent powers that was allowed to be used only on this 7th floor stage. The divine authority Apotheosis is activated. It bes possible to exercise divine authority ording to the potential divinity. The potential divinity is < transcendence > < death > < immortality > < reverse heaven >. next moment. [ Im curious. ] My eyes sparkled with golden divinity wrapped around my whole body. [Is it possible to obtain themand even if you kill the incarnation of God? ] Now, I felt the end of the rewards I could get from thisbyrinth approached. Chapter 197 197. Labyrinth finalyer (4) Gooooooo! The moment when space waspletely distorted by the torrent of divinity. From that twisted space appeared people wearing halos of different colors. DThe ghosts finally appeared. The divinities of different appearances were spraying me with the thickest blood. The clumsy god of deterioration finds out the identity of the challenger Han Seong-yoon and feels great anger. [ha. Is that the candidate chosen by the tower? Its ridiculous. This is an obvious overkill. ] The woman with purple hair gnashed her teeth, revealing a deep purple halo. The clumsy god of observation says that challenger Han Seong- yoon is an existence that vites the rules ofpetition. ] The man with his scarlet eyes and the flesh of his mouth twisted his lips while shing a scarlet halo. The false god of misery promises to make tears of blood flow in the eyes of challenger Han Seong- yoon . Let me make you realize how insignificant you are. ] The false God of Misery, formed in the form of water, frowned and put contempt in his blue halo. DTo say that as soon as you use the incarnation, even the apotheosis is activated. I must have thought it was quite dangerous. But instead of being frightened, I smiled. [This is all I can say when the three suddenly appear together. ] To say that thebyrinth vited its authority, that divine powers cannot enter thebyrinth [Thats ugly. ] It was absurd. To say that it is a foul y because I think I will suffer damage to the subject who treated me to the extent of prey that can be killed at any time. I was a little nervous because I knew how to use powers like incarnations, but I didnt even have to do that. To be honest, I didnt even feel worth talking about anymore. There is < 00:16:47 > left until deification is canceled. Actually, there is no time for leisurely conversation even because of the time limit for deification in the first ce. DWhat do these guys mean? Even the modifiers are filled with negative things. Even if things like me are great, how great would they be? As soon as he prepared to fight, energy flowed from Damcheonwoo. True Blood Demon Swords Soul Ego skill < Magical Explosion (A+) > is activated. Increases the level of magic power in the body. True Blood Demon Swords Soul Ego skill < Thought eleration (A-) ) > is activated. Thinking is elerated. True blood demon swords soul ego skill < Small Heart (B+) > is activated. Virtual magical organ that assists magical movement is created. It will work. However, even with this, it was still not enough to bring out the true power of apotheosis. So Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +41. Special buff < Divine Negation > is activated. All damage taken from external divinities is reduced by 20% Alleviate it. Now it was my turn to use Shinhwa as well. However, as a special buff, such a good ability was not created. Its all damage reduction rted to divine power. I think it would be better to have damage reduction for all attacks But still, it would be better than not having it, and I was satisfied with my ability level. Kugugu-! Soon, as the power of myth permeating the body spread to the surroundings, the gods showed different reactions. [ unpleasant. Its not enough to exceed the authority, so a guy who isnt even an official god is using Shinhwa. After all, youre the one who shouldnt exist. ] The clumsy god of deterioration frowned and showed me feelings close to inferiority. [The level of the soul is so low, but its not enough to have 4 potential divinities, so you have a myth! ] The god of clumsy observation opened his eyes wide as if he had activated his observation-type authority, and was astonished at my divinity. [ joy. Whether itstent divinity or myth, it doesnt matter anyway. Cheeky mortal. let me know the subject ] The false god of misery raised his divinity strongly without hiding his displeasure. And [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Your very existence is disgusting. die right here ] It was the clumsy god of deterioration who first exercised his authority on me. She opened her eyes with jealousy and waved her right hand wide, following the motion with which a violent wind blew up. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! By the special divine authority, Wind that makes life fall, enemies whose divine level is below a certain level are killed instantly. Instant death. Even though it was a fraudulent power that I had little experience with, I didnt think it was a blow worthy enough to be bothered with. It was worth it. I use Divinity < Immortality >. Ignore non-regeneration and instant death judgments. Because I have a divinity that can resist instant kill. [ this is nonsense! A divinity that rejects death itself? Why does that guy have something like that! ] The clumsy god of deterioration let out a panicked cry. Perhaps she tried to kill me right away with this instant death power . But that was only for a moment. Divine < Observation > is used, and challenger Han Seong-yoons skill and power activation are known to the enemy. [ Its okay. A clumsy god of deterioration. It was enough to make time. The information has also umted, so you just have to take it down slowly. ] The divinity < Misery > is used to imbue challenger Seongyoon Han with misery, reducing all strength by a certain amount. [Arrogant mortal. No matter how divine you are, you cant beat us. Is that an irreversible result? ] Then, divine power was used on me, and a not-so-good plot was created. Observation and misery. Divinity itself is not perfected, but it is a good divine power. At least in the long run, it seems to be unfavorable. I nodded my head at Dam Chun-wus words that rang quietly in my ears. I dont know anything else, but the divine authority < Observation > is the problem. Its like telling all the cards in your hand. DThats why its not a long-term battle. After a while, I will tell you all the cards. But the enemies are stronger than I thought to quickly organize the situation. -Can not help it. Defeating enemies one after another is the correct answer. There will be no other way. It is a theory. In this situation, it is impossible to wipe out the enemies at once, so it would be the right order to take them down one after another. However, it was not difficult to notice that if I dragged on for a long time, I would be at a disadvantage. They do not fight battles without intelligence like the gods of battle. Only when the thorough analysis is over, the gods will raise the number of winners. At least it shouldnt have gotten to that point. Until enough observations are made, the enemy must be excluded as much as possible It was then. -Seongyoon Han. Ill take one of them with me. Even if you cant win, you can persevere. A voice filled with determination echoed in my head. aria. It was the voice of an apostle sent by the god of darkness protecting Catherine Be. -For about 10 minutes, you should be able to hold out with St. Catherine. Until then, teach those foolish miscreants the true darkness. No time was given to respond to him. Alia, the 4th-ss apostle, casts her unique attribute, Blinking Darkness. The body bes dark and teleports to the desired location. Chizuzu. [What! ] Darkness was created behind the god of clumsy observation, and Arya appeared in its ce. Did you think it would be safe to touch someone who is favored by the dark on a trivial topic? She held out her hand with contempt in her eyes, not caring about the high rank of a god. The 4th-ss apostle Aria activates the Apostle Exclusive Authority < Endless Abyss >. The designated target for 10 minutes will be banished to the < Abyss World > Soon a scream came out. You should be thankful that the honor of seeing the abyss has been given to the subject. [ Aaaaaa! Why is a zealot who worships an ancient deity in a ce like this!! This is unbelievable-. ] Before he could finish his words, both of them disappeared in the same spot, enveloped in darkness. The Divine < Observation > will be disconnected from the Divine supply and will be stopped. In response, I immediately activated the exclusive effect with the sword of the new moon held in my left hand. The New Moon Sword (C+) exclusive effect increases the users all stats by +1. Although I was worried about Catherine Bet following Aria to an unknown ce New Moon Sword (C+) exclusive effect. Within the range of the moonlight, the magic power of all allies increases by +1. The situation was not easy enough to worry about someone. it cant be helped. Its best to trust Arya. I cant even bother with that now. I immediately erased the bad thoughts that popped into my head and immediately used < Transcendence >. Using divinity < transcendence > All abilities attributed to divinity are outside the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go outside the set range . Its a power that grows faster and faster but not yet. This wasnt enough. The skill Destroy Heaven is activated. A skill that destroys everything. Authority, Sword me Journey is strongly activated. The nature of the sword that interferes with the logic of the world. Using Divinity < Death > Inevitable death dwells in the sword The quality of the god of death reacts and the nature of death dwelling in the holy power is strengthened. The tower that leads everything to destruction quasi-divine. I used everything I could and concentrated my strength into a single blow to the limit. In the current spec, this is the best I can use for one sword. It was no longer possible to stack other abilities on the sword. But Activate the < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Intention (B+) > of the True Blood Demon Sword. It was only possible to strengthen the advantage of the swordsmanship he had learned so far. The skill Amplification of Thought is activated. [What the hell is that? Wasnt Moorims dimension technology impossible to master with the power given by the tower? ] [ Anyway, Im mortal! God of clumsy heat! The power of deterioration to that damn bastard ] [ Liya. ] [ What? ] The sword me dwelling in the sword fluctuates here and there, and the divinity < death > dwelling in the sword burns. [Impossible! Something like that! Theres no way I can degrade it with my clumsy divine authority! ] Seeing that, the clumsy god of deterioration hesitated in fear unlike before. [ It seems like a useless year. done. Even if theres no one like you, Ill be able to endure that at least once anyway. ] The false god of misery said so, and soon condensed the blue energy at the tip of his finger to construct a bead. [O ugly mortal! Ill let you face a terrible end next time! ] Is the best defense an attack? The false god of miserypletely abandoned his will to defend and focused all his divinity on attack. At that stupid choice, I immediately twisted the corner of my mouth and smiled coldly. [You can withstand this blow without defense? ] And The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill Soul Source Magic Sword, Doubling is activated. Consumes holy power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [4] times. The next moment. [Then, wherever you try to hold on. ] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The world was dyed white. *** Labyrinth Achievement Legend Killing God has been achieved. Labyrinth score +100 points Total [HP] and [MP] increase by 100. Special Authority A New Killing Sword (S+) is created. It was a legendary achievement that I hadnt seen in a long time, but I wasnt impressed. It was worth it. DUh This is the result beyond what I imagined As long as you are looking at the scene where the terrain itself has changed, achievements will not matter anyway. DI never thought that the Great Forest would be made t. The single sword, whose output was amplified several times by the Hunyuan Demonic Sword, created a rugged horizon. Of course, this is also an amazing result, but it cannot be said that it is the only one. [Gearco Tower raised a monster Ah Is the towers earnest wish fulfilled] The incarnation of the clumsy God of Deterioration has been destroyed by unbearable damage. I cant use my body. [ Speaking of insignificant mortals! I am! not defeated! This wouldnt have happened if it wasnt for the power given by the tower! ] The incarnation of the false god of misery has been destroyed due to unbearable damage. The incarnation cannot be used for a certain period of time. Two or more divinities ssified as misceneous gods were summarized at once. At that, I blinked my eyes as I looked at the incarnations that disappeared as particles of light. [Even though I screamed out loud, I didnt know I would actually do this] There is < 00:04:14 > left until the deification is canceled. Although the sacred power was consumed so much that the remaining time for deification was greatly reduced It was surprising that it hadnt been so long since he had defeated two godheads at once. DThere is nothing to be said as a surprise. It was a battle you could not lose in the first ce. It is a natural result since there are not three Godheads, but two. However, Dam Chun-wu said that this is not a surprising situation. DEven though neither of them took defense, the situation was sorted out right away. To him, I nodded slowly. [I heard that too, so it seems like that. ] Of course, it seems that the clumsy god of deterioration seems to have been crudely defended. And soon, the gods became particles of light and moved to the ce where they disappeared. [I thought it was impossible, but if you kill the incarnation of the god, will the godsmand remain? ] In that ce, there was a disparate spirit that crackled as if there was noise. It was amazing. Although the situation seems a bit strange, it is a divinemand. Couldnt this be a bad reward? Therefore, I stretched out my hand, barely controlling my excitement I absorbed the spirit fragment [2/3]. Then, I red at the system message that popped up, and I stiffened my body as it was. Death piece? So far, if it had absorbed the spirit, it would have appeared that it had absorbed it, but there was no such thing as a fragment of the spirit. You dont even tell me what kind of spirit you absorbed? I think theres something in this. I felt a sense of alienation from him and thought about what the hell it was, but all I found was a vague guess that an ident would happen if I filled up all the spirit pieces [2/3]. [ . ] But even so, I could see that this was not an ordinary issue. A piece of the spirit that can be obtained by killing the incarnation of a godhead. I couldnt help but wonder what I would get if I filled them all up. Because of that, it was a moment of increasing curiosity. The God of Bad Observation used the Labyrinth-only Deity Authority #0007. The God of Bad Observation paid arge amount of Faith and Holy Power as the usage fee for the Labyrinth-only Deity Authority #0007. You will be expelled from the < Abyss World > by authority #0007. Suddenly, a system message popped up and I woke up from my deep thoughts. [ This? ] The god of clumsy observation tried to escape from < Abyss World >. DSince the giant treebyrinth isnt inside the tower, its a simple event, so you have some strange authority. [I agree. I never thought that God would have the right to escape in an emergency. This is kind of annoying. ] After reading all the system messages, I quietly licked my lips. Its good news that no one was hurt and the clumsy god of observation quickly pulled himself out but it was incredibly disappointing. It was worth it. Divine < Observation > may have been awkward, but its not that great a divine power if you deal with it alone. He also thought that if the god of clumsy observation got out of < Abyss World >, he would be able to defeat him. If you defeat the remaining godheads, youll be able to collect all the pieces of the dead spirit of course, its useless now that you tried to escape with the power of the godhead exclusive to thebyrinth. Should I inevitably have to give up filling all the pieces of the dead? That was when I was about to sigh. [What else is that? ] Suddenly, a ck portal opened in the sky, and a known being appeared in it. [ Big! What kind of fanaticism is this! rot! I will not forget the grudge that caused me to lose my divinity! ] Exactly [Ah.] He was a clumsy observer who had just escaped from < Abyss World >. Chapter 198 198. Labyrinth Final Layer (5) Necromancer Fragments. It seems to be a type of spirit that can be absorbed when killing the incarnation of a godhead To be honest, I didnt think I would be able toplete all of this. It was worth it. On the 7th floor stage, the deity that can use the incarnation is limited, and even that has killed two of the three. The remaining one was moved to an unknown space by Aria. I soon abandoned my expectations when I heard that the clumsy god of observation had escaped using thebyrinth-only divine authority. DThats that the spirit piece cant bepleted. DThe god of clumsy observation. but. DI never thought he would appear in such a close ce The moment I saw the incarnation of the god of clumsy observation flowing from a ck portal that appeared in the sky. [This is] In my heart, I felt an intense fire rising from the anticipation I had been trying to close. [Causal. ] Destiny. If there really is an unavoidable flow, it would be like this. As soon as you hit the incarnations of the two godheads, you immediately show up like this? Its an opportunity never to be missed. Boss skill skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 150%. Current skill stacking progress C [15] Ive never had this much eleration with Grace of Wind before. Paaang! By increasing all speeds by 150%, the process of moving waspletely different from before. DEvery action speed is increased, but there is no limit to the ovepping increase rate. Really, no matter how many times you look at it, its a fraudulent technique. Despite the state of deification, the movement is elerated to the point where it is impossible to properly control it. To the extent that I can really barely see movement with my body vision, which has long since been out of human. But Theres no need to control movement anywhere. This is a prearranged problem. There was no need to haveplete control over where to go. It was worth it. Anyway, this uncontroble movement speed is to use another movement device soon. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Instantly moves to the desired point within the field of view by consuming holy power. I just elerated excessively to satisfy that condition. Shunbos range of movement is not very wide, even if it is within sight. And anyway, once you activate Shunbo, all of the eleration that had been attached to your body before will disappear, so there was no need to worry about escaping from the destination. Boss skill skill Grace of Wind is deactivated. Arriving right in front of the clumsy God of Observation, I smiled. [ hi? ] The god of clumsy observation was startled and uttered a voice full of fear. [What the hell is this! Nonsense! Why are you here!? ] Perhaps he thought that he would not be able toe to him because he was dealing with other deities . Jagoro The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Soul Source Demonic Sword, Double is activated. Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [1.7] times. The best way tomunicate is by bumping into each other. It is a physical conversation. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! or not. *** fit. [As expected, this level of output wont kill you right away. ] Landing lightly, I clicked my tongue as I watched the god of clumsy observation tremble while stuck to the ground. His body was severely cut, but not to the point of facing death. I consumed too much divine power to deal with two incarnations of the godhead. Honwon Demon Sword evolved into a Power Skill and became a skill that increased the output of martial arts itself by a multiplier. However, what is used in return is divine power. Due to the fierce battle the other day, it consumed a lot of fuel called divine power, so it couldnt produce enough power. Even if I offer the items and skills Ive collected in thebyrinth as tribute, I still dont have enough holy power. I felt that I still had a long way to grow. Probably, in its current state, it cant even win against a really talented Goddess. no. There was no need to go to a truly skilled deity. In the end, even after using the incarnation, I was defeated horribly by me . Is it time to focus on divinity? Divine Faith Myth. I realized that it was my turn to raise my status as a godhead in earnest. Perhaps, from now on, I will have to find out enough about the faith and mythology that I did not care about. Only then will you grow enough to be able topete with the Godheads. But Time ends. The divine authority Apotheosis is disabled and cannot be reused for 8 hours. That is something to think aboutter. First of all, it would be right to deal with this. [Keukkeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Damn it Why did things turn out like this ] Why is it like this. You guys first quarreled with me, so it happened like this. [ Bullshit. Without you, this wouldnt have happened. You are a being that shouldnt have existed. ] You havent figured out the subject yet. [This poor Phil! ] Before the god of clumsy observation could even finish his words, I immediately struck the Blood Heaven Demon Sword into his body. Kaaang! [Turn it off! ] Even incarnated, I feel the pain as it is. [Even if its an enemy, its right to be polite to me, a godhead. ] Seeing that the tip of the tongue is long, it seems that the incarnation cannot be summoned immediately without conditions. [ . ] What kind of confidence do you have to talk to me like that? The god of clumsy observation closed his mouth, as if he had finally realized that the situation was against him. [ Right. Did all the other deities besides me suffer? And you have something you want from me. ] Unexpectedly, the clumsy god of observation seemed to have correctly grasped my intentions. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. what is the purpose what do you want from me ] His tone, which had been overheated until a few seconds ago, had calmed down before he knew it. Even before, he was the most rational of the three deities. With that in mind, perhaps this is his true personality. I guess its because Ive been so excited that I havent calmed down. I said with a quiet smile. I want to know a few questions and about thisbyrinth contest. [ Right. Since he is a candidate for the top, he must want to know the truth. understood. But you know you cant figure it all out. ] I know. [Thats it. Instead, there are things I want to trade. can you listen ] I cant listen to you telling me not to harm the incarnation. [Its not like that. Its just that you dont harm me as long as you dont be hostile to me in the future. ] . [If I harm you instead, Ill pay the price neatly. ] I like the condition of paying the price. Even if you say that, there is no way to trade with each other. [Dont worry about that. ] After that, a system message suddenly appeared in my field of vision. The clumsy God of Observation promises to keep the deal with the challenger Han Seong-yoon. function will be provided. Thanks to the Towers ability to trade, the need for annoying lies is gone. As I stared nkly at the system message, the clumsy god of observation spoke calmly. [I swear on my divinity that I will never lie. ] Did the tower have a system like this? okay. Then I will ask you directly. [I hope. ] First, I need to tell you about the tower. I immediately asked him about the tower. But [I dont know. ] Most of what came back was a consistent answer that they didnt know, so there wasnt much to know. What the heck do you know about the tower? [ I only know about basic information. It wasnt long before I became a godhead. So, there is a lot of information you know. ] In a word, its sloppy and theres no information to tell you. [ . ] Then lets move on. I want to know about the contest. [Is it about the giant treebyrinth itself? ] Yes. [ the Giant Tree Labyrinth is an event venue made by remodeling the World Tree. And it was the Tower of Trials that remodeled the giant treebyrinth. ] Hmm. [ After the tower remodeled the giant treebyrinth, it sent an invitation to the deities. It was an invitation to host apetition of the gods. ] Did it go like that? [The invited deity could choose the difficulty level of thebyrinth, ce the altar, and make the challenger a believer. Through that point, the winner of thepetition was decided. ] Tell me more. [The winner is determined by which godhead the challenger who reached the deepest part of thebyrinth is. ] As you think, the winner is decided. This was information that could be guessed to some extent. It was worth it. Until now, there were many devices in thebyrinth that could openly receive grace from the gods. I touched my chin for a moment, then narrowed my eyes. But I heard that there arepetition rewards other than that. The Dark God and the Demon God decided to give me the reward obtained from the giant treebyrinth. So, I already knew there were other rewards. I just dont know what its contents are. When I asked about it, I got an answer right away. [That is not so important. What I received as a basic participation reward is a small authority. ] Permissions? [ One of the towers administrator privileges is randomly granted and can be used. ] I think I know what it is. The clumsy god of observation had a history of using the Forced Escape Authority. It was impossible not to know that it was discovered by me immediately after escaping from the < Endless Abyss >, the power exclusive to the apostles, and was captured like this. Then I can receive two of the towers administrator privileges. In fact, I asked more questions with my eyes shining, but there was no result. [I dont know much more than that. These are things that cannot be known unless it is an ancient deity. ] Of course, this was enough to collect information, so there was nothing to be greatly disappointed with. I nodded and then opened my mouth again. All right then. Now I want to know about the Dark God. tell me what you know. [ an ancient deity. dark god. I dont know too much either. We only know that it is one of the seven ancient deities that existed in the beginning. ] Isnt there some information youre hiding? [There is no such thing. In the first ce, arent you a colleague with that ancient godhead fanatic? Then why dont you ask the fanatic? ] . I didnt think of him as a colleague, so I heard that word in passing. But since he said he didnt know about the Dark God, there was nothing to ask. Then the deal is over. Kwajijik! Right away, he wrapped his Pacheon skill on the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and threw it down at the clumsy God of Observation, and he squinted his eyes. [ it was an experience I didnt want to go through twice. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. I hope we never run into each otherter. ] After those words, the incarnation of the god of clumsy observation disappeared with the scarlet halo fading. And The spirit piece [3/3] has been absorbed. Skill proficiency increases by 0%. All of the spirit pieces have beenpleted. The Spirit Shard [3/3] has met the charging requirement. You can select and acquire atent divinity by consuming the Spirit Shard [3/3]. The potential divinities that can be acquired at the moment are < Deterioration > < Observation > < Misery >. The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an optionter on. Another ridiculous crazy reward appeared. *** DIs it possible to obtain divinity, which can only be obtained after hundreds of years of training, as easily as eating cookies? As soon as he saw the message that he could acquiretent divinity, Dam Chun-wuughed. DIf the gods saw this crazy sight, they would cry To those words, I quietly nodded my head in agreement. Necromancy. It is a unique characteristic that I first learned after entering the tower. This is also something different. It felt as if this unique trait was designed to rise to the top of every food chain. I continued to think with my eyes wide open. It was because he remembered what the demon had told him. The devil said that the tower wants an omnipotent god I suddenly thought of that. This necromancys unique trait is like a cheat key that the tower specially arranged for me. Of course, it was just spection, so it wasnt very reliable but if the demon didnt lie to me, it was a usible guess. Necromancy has the potential to transcend even gods. Its fun. I didnt know what the tower was trying to achieve by creating a being that transcended the gods, but I wasnt worried. Thats also the case [Selectionplete.] [Divinity < Observation > is reced by potential.] If you be an absolute predator standing at the end of the food chain, you wont be able to ignore the tower. Deed! A scarlet divinity formed in his heart, and was soon consumed by the transcendent divinity. It is a process that has been experienced before. The divinity of observation must have be a potential divinity. As I was satisfied with that, an additional system message appeared. The upper stage will open little by little. It was only this one line, but I understood to some extent what it meant. Heavenly Demons Body There was a change in the special authority called Heavenly Demons Body, which she obtained after defeating the Heavenly Demon on the 17th floor. Of course, it doesnt seem like a very meaningful change Seeing how he reacted to the creation of atent divinity, I was a little excited. It was worth it. Responding to divinity means that you can learn additional abilities rted to divinity when the upper level battle is opened. Could it be that if I have moretent divinities, will the upper level battle be fully opened? Even so, I cant open the guild hall right away, so I can only hope forter. It was then. C Han Seong-yoon. Suddenly, Dam Chun-wu called me with a serious voice. DPreviously, I said that the god of darkness would want to make you an apostle. It was. DIts only now that I can speak. The dark god is not a very good deity. What else is that DDivinity symbolizes everything to the godhead. Darkness is the finale that swallows everything. Is it the end? C Nothing is permanent in this world. There is an end to everything. And it is the god of darkness who presides over the end. . DIf light exists, that light will eventually run out of value and bring darkness. The Dark God is very threatening in that respect. Dam Chun-wu continued his words slowly. DThe Dark God told you that he wanted to see the moment when everything ended. DThat means that your existence can bring about the end of the tower. At that time, the Dark God will truly feel joy. So what do you want to say? DIt means to prepare for the fact that she will swallow you in the end. Darknesses when you can no longer afford to shine. You dont have to worry about that. Iughed at him. Im not going to get stabbed in the back by anyone. Youve been watching me all this time, so you know that, dont you? Advice thats good enough In the end, if you aim for me, its the Dark God who will be devoured. Just like it always has been. I wasnt stupid enough to die so absurdly. -Right. If thats your way, I agree. Theres no need to worry about those who walk the path. Dam Chun-wu said that as if he was relieved, and soon became quiet. In response, I moved my body and collected all the [Grail Fragments] from each faction that had fallen everywhere. The Degraded Camps [Grail Fragment] has been acquired. The Observation Camps [Holy Grail Fragment] has been obtained. The Miserable Camps [Holy Grail Fragment] has been obtained. Alia, the 4th-ss apostle, deactivates the Apostle-only Authority < Endless Abyss >. Tsuzuzu. A portal opened in the sky, and Arya, carrying Katherine Bet on her back,nded lightly through it, her gray hair flying. She was crying as if she was about to burst into tears. Should I say its like a puppy that makes mistakes and notices its owner? Arya licked her lips, but soon lowered her head as if she had no face. Ha Sungyoon Han. sorry. I made a mistake because I missed the news. I have no face to see. I immediately shook my head. No way. Because I caught the god of clumsy observation. At those words, Aria raised her eyes like a rabbit as if she was startled Ah. You are indeed the one favored by the dark. It is a skill that is different from other things. After that, he started pouring all sorts ofpliments on me with his hazy eyes. But I had no intention of hearing thatpliment all the time. Now that I think about it, I think the Dark God said he had something to give me. As soon as I put the information I heard from the clumsy god of deterioration into my mouth, a reaction arose. Thats right. hold me for a while I will give you the grace of God. Aria then put Katherine Be down and immediately grabbed my hands and wrapped them carefully around them. Exclusive authority #B-714[Move area] acquired. It bes possible to move to the manager area from anywhere. There is no restriction on movement as long as the manager name is known. It was authority. Anyone who is a manager can move to the managers area? Its value really varies depending on its use. Being able to move to the managers area from anywhere means that it can be used even within trials. That is, in a situation on the verge of death, you can always escape to the managers area. Even if its not that, it must be an ability that can be used in its own way. Looks like I got something good. As I was satisfied with that, I heard a strangely heatedugh from Arya. Haah . This is This is the warmth of the person who was favored . I was frightened and frightened because it became as if it was obsessed with God. swish Ah Now that the transfer of authority is over, theres no need to lend a hand. Ugh thats right Then lets go collect the [Grail Fragments] from the other camps. Now, if you acquire 4 more [Holy Grail Pieces], you can obtain [Holy Grail]. Therefore, it would be right to move now Oh, if thats the case, fill it with these. Arya immediately smiled and took something out of her robe pocket. It is I knew this and came to Han Seong-yoon and collected things bit by bit. Obtained the [Grail Fragment] of the dark camp. Obtained the [ Holy Grail Fragment] of the natural camp . . These were the [Grail Fragments] that could only be obtained by driving the other faction to ruin. *** Time is up. The 7th floor ordeal is over, and the camp with two or more [Grail Fragments] gets the right to go down to the 8th floor. The camp that got 10 or more [Holy Grail Fragments] has [Faith of Faith] The [Holy Grail] will be given to the [Deputy]. As time passed, the end of the ordeal soon approached. Conditions satisfied. Challenger Han Seong-yoons [Holy Grail Fragment] bes the [Holy Grail]. Charle! All the [Grail Fragments] collected so far spread out in the air, and soon they stuck together to form a small drinking cup. Holy Grail Rating: SS+ Thebyrinth-exclusive Holy Grail obtained by satisfying the special conditions on the 7th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [Holy Land]. . You can activate the exclusive effect yer omission [1/1] by injecting magic into the Holy Grail. This means that you dont have to go through the trials in the giant treebyrinth [8th floor] and [9th floor] at all. Finally, you have acquired the right to challenge the final level of thebyrinth. And If you want to skip the level, enter the [Labyrinth Temple] before moving to the finalyer. In the [Labyrinth Temple], you can face all the divine beings who participated in the giant treebyrinth event. Even the opportunity to meet face to face. Chapter 199 199. Ancient Godhead (1) I admired the [Holy Grail] floating in the air, emitting a soft light. Is this the Holy Grail It was justified. They say its an additional reward that can be obtained by defeating 10 or more deity factions Certainly. It could be said that it was a huge perk worthy of the reward of a quest that was close to impossible to achieve. But there was a problem. Exactly DThis is not an item that can be used by team members as well. It is that the privilege of skipping the hierarchy cannot be applied to colleagues. I could guess to some extent why this doesnt apply multiple times. If you want to skip theyer, enter the [Labyrinth Temple] before moving to the finalyer. [Labyrinth Temple], you can face all the divine beings who participated in the giant treebyrinth event. Before moving to the finalyer, [Labyrinth Temple] ], it must be because of this use effect. Presumably, going to this [Labyrinth Temple] is an effect that only [Holy Grail] has. It is possible to enter ces that cannot be entered through the normal route, so it must be that the sharing of the effect of use is prohibited. . So I touched my chin and pondered for a while. That would be the case too Han Seong-yoon. I dont think we can go to the final level of thebyrinth. sorry. It was because Arya had suddenly refused to use the [Holy Grail]. When I asked why she refused to go with me, she replied with her head bowed. Thats it I couldnt go with you because I gave all the [Grail Fragments] to Han Seong-yoon Only then did I understand. ah. DCome to think of it, camps with two or more [Grail Fragments] at the end of the ordeal were eligible to go down to the 8th floor. DSince you took all of that [Grail Fragment] by yourself, its only natural that you cant go with us. Dam Chun-wu said with a smile. DOriginally, you can think of it as karma. Wouldnt that be good news in this situation? Thats not wrong. Theyer omission avable through [Holy Grail] is an effect that cannot be shared with teammates. And since he doesnt have the confidence topletely protect Katherine Be, who suffers from a fever, this must be the right decision. I nodded and said goodbye to Arya. It seems I cant help it. Then I will go alone now. Thank you so far. Ah ah Mr. Han Seong-yoon There is nothing like that. How can such a lowly person like me Arya said as if she was in trouble, but her face was strangely blushing. Looking at it, I felt regret. I cant kill you when youre so careless. Its a waste. I think Ill be a lot stronger if I can kill. To release an opponent who could activate Power Extraction while holding onto their weakness. Even if he hadnt been docile to me and hadnt been an apostle of the Dark God, he would have collected the spirits right away. DAnyway, hes crazy Damcheonwu clicked his tongue like a crane, but I thought this was reasonable. The reason why things dont work out the way you think is purely because youre caught up in your own interests. Arya, unaware of my thoughts, managed to clear her voice while barely hiding her twitching lips. Hmmmm. Sungyoon Han. Perhaps I will be expelled from thebyrinth soon but before that, I will give you this. After she said that, she handed me a ck ticket, and I immediately checked the item information. Labyrinth exit ticket Grade: A+ Labyrinth exclusive ticket obtained by satisfying special conditions on the 4th floor of the giant treebyrinth [Dragon Sanctuary]. can be activated. When exiting thebyrinth through a ticket, you return to the original dimension without penalty for reducing abilities. However, if you designate someone else as a target, you cannot use the ticket unless you are incapacitated. After reading the item description window to the end, I widened my eyes in surprise. oh. I hope there will be something like this I will soon be expelled from thebyrinth due to a failed trial, but I dont think I will be this prospective apostle Conversely, it means that I secretly saved Kim Seung-hun and Oh Chun-seok when they were expelled. Is this an unavoidable part? arms bent inward It must have been more important for her to write to Catherine Be, the same apostle who fainted from a fever. I nodded and immediately tore up the ck ticket. Aww! Thebyrinth exit ticket (A+) exclusive effect Exit [1/1] is activated. Target designationplete. Challenger Catherine Bet has been designated as the target for use of thebyrinth exit ticket. Number of uses [ 1/1] is consumed as [0/1], and the item ispletely destroyed. Then, the remains of the torn ck ticket turned to ashes and disappeared Then Catherine Bets body was wrapped in a ck halo and disappeared. We willpletely restore the challenger Catherine Bet to her original dimension. It was then. All challengers belonging to the camp that failed to collect the [Grail fragments] will be expelled from the giant treebyrinth. Aryas body was also enveloped in light particles, as if it was time. I guess Ill have to go now. Sungyoon Han. It was an honor to serve you even for a short time. After those words, even Arya disappeared, and eventually only I was left. C I guess Ill calm down a bit now. Dam Chun-wu spoke in a pleasant voice, as if he was satisfied with it, but DNow I can just use the Holy Grail and go downstairs Before that, theres some work I need to go through for a while. DA job that needs to be done? Before going to the final level of thebyrinth, we need to increase our power as much as possible. At that, I appealed to him for a moment and immediately opened the status window. First of all, it was to check the powers obtained by achieving legendary achievements during battle. Divine Killing Sword Rating: S+ It is an authority that proves that you have killed a god or its incarnation. When dealing with a god or its incarnation, all damage inflicted by the sword is increased by 40%. The authority obtained by killing the incarnation of a god certainly had a surprising effect. DThis crazy! Increased all damage against godheads or their incarnations? What else is this Its a pretty decent power. DIts not a good level, but its the same power as a godheads nemesis Its not that versatile. Although I mainly use a sword, there are plenty of other means of attack. However, since only the damage inflicted by the sword increased, it was just a moderately usable power. Otherwise, it would have been worth as much if it had an option of purely increasing all damage. Of course, increasing the damage done to the godhead itself is fraudulent. Since the amount of damage inflicted on the godhead increases, the grade value is sufficient. After that, I checked the remainingmanders after the battle with the godhead. Somehow, there are still many spirits left. There were more than 30manders, and I absorbed them immediately. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits Muscle strength increased by 4 Agility increased by 4 Stamina increased by 5Magic power increased by 5 Durability increased by It has risen by 4. Probably because the stats have been raised a lot now, the increase wasnt that big, and instead, it took decent skills. Acquire the skill Khan Imperial Sorcery Meditation (C+) Acquire the skill Mental Concentration (B+) Acquire the skill Always Activate (D+) Acquire the skill Synchronic (C) -). Looking at all the skills individually, they are useless, but they have their own value. Skills suitable for skill synthesis offerings. Among them, I especially paid attention to Continuous activation (D+) and Synchronization (C-). Skill C Constant activation (D+) Proficiency level C 47% Effect C Designate one skill and consumes magic power to switch to a constant activation state. Skill C Synchronize (C-) Proficiency level C 77% Effect C You can match the users senses to a specific object state to some extent. These two seemed to be very helpful in skill synthesis. Inherent authority Skill Synthesis has been activated.] Afterpleting the skill check, I immediately activated Skill Synthesis. Browse the skill list. Choose a synthesis material from among the existing skills . I thought these two would be good to create synergy with each other. The authority Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Luck temporarily and violently increases. Actually Skill synthesisplete. New skills are created. Newly created skills are quite It became a good thing. Skill C Magical Meditation (A-) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C When entering mental concentration, the speed of magic recovery temporarily increases by 100%. When used, it permanently increases the magical power level by up to +10. A skill suitable for use anywhere, whether inbat or training, was born. But I had no intention of being satisfied with this. I tried skill synthesis once more. It would be better tobine Magical Meditation and Strike Concentration. Since both are mental concentration skills, the synergy will increase. Skill synthesis has beenpleted. A new skill is created. This time, as expected, I seeded in creating a good skill. Skill C Magical Meditation Extreme (A) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C When entering mental concentration, the speed of magic recovery temporarily increases by 180%. When using , the magical power level gradually increases without limit.] It seems that the next attack strengthening effect in the single strike focus skill has disappeared. In this case, I felt like I should say it was fortunate that the next attack strengthening effect in Focus on Strike disappeared. It was worth it. In the detailed effect of the magic meditation y skill, instead of the phrase that max. DIn terms of martial arts, its a Simbeop-type technique. It has a good effect, so it should be useful. Dam Chun-wu also raised his voice as if he was satisfied that he had acquired a good skill. But this wasnt enough. I dont know what kind of trials there will be in the finalyer of thebyrinth Now it was time to create the skill I had in mind. [Inherent Authority Skill Synthesis has been activated.] This time, it was my intention to rece the skills I had previously bought at thebyrinth shop. If webine the spell predation, regr activation, and synchronization together, good results wille out. Originally, Spell Devour is a skill that enhances physical abilities by devouring spell-type attacks with magical power. So Skill synthesis has beenpleted. New skill is created. When the synchro skill isbined with the always activated skill, a good skill with a passive state will be born. Skill C Spell infinite devouring (B+) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C Devours all spells that touch the body and converts them into pure magic. Synchronize and deprive the control of the spell.] Seeing the contents of the skill, I smiled. Now it really must be a natural enemy for wizards. Being able to devour all the spells at no cost and take away the initiative when the spell touches the body This is a level like a real monster. This will help enough at the top as well. Satisfied with that, I opened abyrinth-only shop. Its nothing else I purchased the exclusive privilege Power Evolution Potion (SSS+) by consuming 100byrinth points.] Now, to purchase thest remainingbyrinth privileges. Chng! Surprisingly, for a potion with abyrinth score of 100, the appearance was ordinary. The color isnt too special, its transparent, so it looks like water. Of course, since it was a power evolution potion in thebyrinth and handed over, there was no way it was really ordinary. I immediately opened the stopper and drank the power evolution potion, and a reaction came up. I took the Power Evolution Potion (SSS+). Please select the Power to evolve. The Power to evolve. It was decided what to choose. transcendence. The priority is to evolve Transcendence, a unique divine power. Selectionplete. The unique divine authority , Transcendence (SSS+), evolves and additional abilities bloom. From now on, the number of additional power skills will increase ording to the number of potential divinities added. An increase in authority skills ording to the addition DThe conditions are also very harsh. You usually cant have manytent divinities. This is a good evolution because youre the one. Iknow, right. DEven since you said the number of potential divinities to be added from now on, you cant add a Power skill with the potential divinities youve acquired until now Oh, I dont think that matters. Dam Chun-wu looked very regretful, but it didnt seem difficult to obtain a potential divinity. Dont you know? That would be the case too For me, thetent divinity can be obtained by killing the incarnation of the godhead. This is because from now on, we will be going to a ce where we might be able to acquire a lot of spirit fragments. If youre lucky, youll get anothertent divinity this time. And The Holy Grail (SS+) exclusive effect, Skip Skip [1/1], is activated. Ugh! Immediately activating the Holy Grail in my hand, I smiled. Arent you looking forward to it? Then, the moment the Holy Grail vibrated and emitted light. How many gods are there in [The Labyrinth Temple]. DYou guys are so consistent, it seems like I like you. To the finalyer of thebyrinth, move to the [Labyrinth Shrine] before theyer skip proceeds. The movement to a new stage has begun. Chapter 200 200. Ancient Godhead (2) Labyrinth Temple. When I first saw the description on the Holy Grail, I had no idea what kind of ce it was. It was worth it. A ce where all the deities who participated in the Giant Tree Labyrinth event gather. Why on earth does this exist and why can a challenger go to such a ce? I couldnt understand the meaning of its existence at all. But now it seemed that there was no need to think about it. Move to the [Labyrinth Temple] before theyer omission proceeds to the finalyer of thebyrinth. The space changed in the blink of an eye. To a ce with a huge audience in a cosmic background. And I was in a position where I could look down from the tall audience. I didnt like it very much. Only then is it like a product put on an auction house. However, it was not possible to immediately leave the ce and move to another ce. That would be the case DWhat the hell is that!? It was because there were already passengers to move to the spectators. Some were like spirits of me, others were clowns with heavy make-up, and others were pale like vampires. The audience pretended to be inconsistent, but it wasnt really like that. The beings in the stands had only one thing inmon. Exactly DAll of these people are divinities? The God of y looks at the challenger, Seong-Yoon Han. The God of Cold Steel looks at the challenger, Seong-Yoon Han The God of me looks at the challenger, Seong-Yoon Han Those sitting in the spectator seats all have individual divinities. Thats huge too. Gggg! At the same time as numerous system messages came to my mind, I felt a tremendous amount of pressure on my body. It was a feeling I knew immediately. Its the unique pressure you feel when facing God. Should I say that the gaze of the gods, which I felt every time I climbed the floor, became several times stronger? Just the mere concentration of the gaze shakes the mind greatly. In fact, the mana inside the body is shaking greatly and even trying to flow backwards Quite a few people would have exploded and died as soon as they arrived at this ce. Surely. I quietly fell in love with him. Its on a higher level than I thought. Originally, I thought that there wouldnt be many high-ranking deities in the [Labyrinth Temple]. It was thought that various gods who were clumsy or clumsy in the spirit itself would form the majority. But it wasnt. Most of the godheads hadpleted divinities, and their levels were unmatched evenpared to the gods of battle. Surprisingly surprising. Originally, if there were a lot of misceneous gods, I thought that it would be a mess to acquire the spirit pieces, but There werent as many gods as I thought. The situation was not good in many ways to move without countermeasures, so I had to buy myself first. The clumsy god of heat casts a jealous gaze on the challenger Han Seong-yoon. The false god of misery gnashing his teeth at the challenger Han Seong-yoon, getting very angry. He reveals his strong murderous intent to them. Of course, there are also those who look at you with a negative gaze Do you know that it is foolish to take revenge in a ce where all the gods are gathered? The deities who revealed their negative emotions to me in the system message did not move hastily. Its just The God of Worship begins to feel a sense of crisis at the challenger Sungyoon Hans existence . Even though they did not move, the deities did not stop sending messages. As if to warn me. But the seemingly endless feast of system messages didntst too long. [ quietly. ] The moment the voice containing the divinity of light resounded. The endless system messages subsided. [Now, lets stop showing ugliness and decide. Isnt that why everyone gathered at the [Labyrinth Temple]? ] A system message I had never seen before came to mind. [Let challenger Han Seong-yoon decide if he really deserves to know the truth. ] Voting for the deities in the [Labyrinth Temple] begins. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is not eligible to vote because she is not qualified. And Decide for or against whether you are qualified. An unexpected situation has urred. *** The truth of the tower. This is information that there was no way to know even though I wanted to know so much I couldnt understand why the gods were trying to tell them the truth about the tower. Also, why is it decided by voting? Even the tower didnt try to tell me what he wanted. But in a ce where the towers influence is strong, such as the giant treesbyrinth, youre allowed to tell the truth? It seemed like my brain was gettingplicated. However Voting is over. 81 for, 77 against It was concluded that the challenger Han Seong-yoon deserves to know about the Truth of the Tower. Apart from theplicated feelings, the voting was fast. Its finished. [This is the end. ] It was then. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. You can be proud of yourself. There arent many cases where the gods have acknowledged a challenger like this. ] I raised my head at the voice containing the divinity of light and looked at the source of the voice. Choi Sang-seok (ϯ). Unlike the spectator seats lined with numerous gods, only seven deities were seated. A voice was hearding from the shape of light in the center. [Even the ancient deities here acknowledged your existence. ] I instinctively realized the indescribably high divinity. [Do you know what this means? ] That these seven deities, seated in the top seat, have power that can never be surpassed. I opened my mouth and kept my tension. I do not know. In the first ce, I dont even know what an ancient deity is. [ Ohe to think of it, that must be the case. You dont know much because your information is being controlled by the Tower. ] . [Not a difficult concept. The Ancient Godhead is literally a Godhead that has existed since ancient times. To put it simply, it is a mighty deity that has umted power for a long time among deities. ] Is that so? I guessed. Seeing the astonished people iming to be ancient deities, it seemed that they were receiving special treatment among the deities. Through that point, it was not difficult to see that those who were called ancient gods had built up a high level of power. Only by hearing the answer from a god with the divinity of light, spection turned into certainty. It feels like the information I heard from Dam Chun-woo has been added to the flesh. [Ah, by the way, I am the god of light, an ancient deity. Hes not a well-known god, so youve probably never heard of him. ] I thought so. Since he has the divinity of light, he must also be the god of light. After nodding his head, the god of light continued speaking in a gentle voice. [Since most of the ancient deities are gathered, there are probably some faces you know. ] Yes. As he said, there were two faces he knew among the seven deities. Exactly [Whoops. He thought he had already forgotten me and was almost disappointed. hey Im d you didnt get hurt. ] [ Hahaha! Sungyoon Han! The ordeal was fun to watch! The contract was thoroughly fulfilled! Rewards will be given soon! ] It was the god of darkness and the demon. The god of darkness, wearing a robe, smiled quietly and waved his hand . I didnt know of any other ancient deities, and they didnt seem to be very interested in me. The dragon god looks at challenger Han Seong-yoon and his eyes twinkle! The dragon god proposes an apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon! The dragon god proposes an apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon ! Remove the Apostleship! [Heir! you know me too! Why am I pretending not to know! ] Except for the dragon god who out of the blue screams to see him too. Following the clear but resonant voice, I turned my eyes and saw a beauty. The curved horns on the head with split eyes resembling those of reptiles, even the scales exposed around the neck I noticed that it was the Dragon God. Originally, I guessed that the dragon god would be a god who took the form of a giant dragon It lookspletely different from what I thought? Surprisingly, he has a human-like appearance, so it felt fresh. Of course, that was for a while. [I understand that he built a lot of rtionships with ancient deities. I think it would be better to solve the roundster. ] As soon as the topic was changed to the tone that the god of light was in trouble, the ancient gods became quiet. [ tooth. I still havent had a proper conversation with the heir. Why are you doing this on my turn? ] Of course, the dragon god grumbled a little, but even that didntst very long, and soon silence came. The god of light spoke to him in a solemn voice. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ] yes. [Do you know what the tower wants from you? ] Isnt it about bing a god? [ yes. to be a god. Thats what the Tower wants from a challenger. However, I expect a higher level from a candidate chosen by the tower like you. ] . [You also know this because you heard it from a demon. ] You mean you want someone who transcends omniscience and omnipotence? [Then lets ask now. Why do you think the tower wants a Transcendentalist? ] I dont know. There are no clues to know. So, isnt that why you decided to tell me the truth of the tower? The god of light responded with a shimmering light as if he was interested. [ Hoo. okay. Thats right too. Then Ill let you know. The reason why the tower wants a transcendental person. ] And [The Tower wants only one thing from the transcendent. ] The moment the god of light spoke. [To annihte all deities without leaving a single one. ] I was shocked with my eyes wide open. [Thats why the tower makes you grow. ] *** Eliminate divine beings. As soon as I heard that, I realized why the deities were so hostile to me. In short, since they are beings with the possibility of annihting them, did they try to nip them in the bud? It was worth it. Do you think the tower will grow me into a transcendental being and destroy all the deities It must have been an attempt to kill me in the middle of my growth so that the tower could never achieve its goal. It feels like all the puzzles are fitting together. Damn it Even after entering the [Labyrinth Temple], I understood that numerous deities sent hostile messages to me. To the deities, I must have felt like a potential strong enemy. It was not strange to be vignt, even to have murderous intentions. It was at this point that an rm bell went off in my head. The ce where all the deities in thebyrinth gather. And, ording to the newly discovered truth, I am no different from the natural enemy of the gods. Thinking about that, I was able to realize how dangerous I was exposed to. Will I be able to survive in this ce? Chapter 201 201. Ancient Godhead (3) Tension naturally increased at the newly learned truth. It was just like that. At the point where it might be possible to obliterate all gods, I am like an enemy to them. Perhaps if I were a godhead, I wouldnt be so calm. If he might one day be my enemy, I would have killed him cleanly and nipped him in the bud. Even in this ce, all the deities who participated in the giant treebyrinth event are gathered. I chewed on my lips and thought. What should I do? As he left the 7th floor stage, his apotheosis was also sealed, so he had no means of resistance. With a holding skill like Last Resistance, you can avoid instant death once Will that be a meaningful way to buy time? It wont be. Even if I revive as a final resistance, it wont change if I die again. Then there are two remaining chances of survival. The tower forced me out of this ce. or. To use the #B-714 [Region Movement] exclusive authority previously passed on from Arya. Should I say Im lucky out of misfortune? The conclusion was drawn that both had a high probability of survival. If we run to the managers area as soon as the final resistance is activated, we will be able to survive. Thinking so, I felt the rm bells ringing in my brain subside. But [Funny. How can you settle themotion so quickly? Even that was not enough, and he even set up a survival strategy right away. ] Then, seeing the God of Light speak in a joyful tone, the tension didnt ease. I thought I kept my poker face properly. The [Labyrinth Temple] is not the sanctuary of a certain deity. It is impossible to read the thoughts revealed in the surface consciousness. So it means that the god of light directly inferred my ident, which was not very good. It means that the god of light, unlike the gods he has dealt with so far, is a real man of skill with experience. [There is nothing to be so nervous about. I have no intention of harming you. ] . [Ah, of course I know you wont believe me even if I say this. Its not a hard word to believe. ] Yes. [But I bet you know that too? That if I tried to kill you, I could kill you a long time ago? ] thats not wrong either. Isnt it because you want something from me? There is always cause and effect in everything. There must be a reason why the god of light is not so hostile to me. Maybe there is a purpose you want to achieve through me. The same goes for other deities. The fact that they also send me a message that is tinged with murder is the reason why they dont attack me right away. So Tell me. Now it was my turn to find out why the deities were watching me. What the hell do you want from me? and. [Thats what I meant in the first ce, so I told you the truth. ] The god of light soon got to the point in an emotionless tone. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Most deities hate you. But why do you think its like that? ] Before long. [Its simple. ] A voice containing divinity continued from the form close to the halo of light. [I think an existence that can annihte the deities is valuable on this side as well. ] *** At the words of the god of light, I narrowed my eyes and red at the divine sphere of light. I couldnt understand. Is an existence that can destroy a godhead worth it? It was hard to guess where on earth they looked and told me I was worthwhile. However, in the words that followed soon after, the doubt was cleared a little. [If you look at the tower, its a kind of divinity. Its just that its power is stronger than that of an ancient deity. ] Are you convincing me to remove the tower? [Thats correct. ] I replied in an emotionless tone. Do you think that would be possible? The tower is more powerful than an ancient deity. Thats why youre doing nonsensical things like fostering transcendentalists. Raised by a tower with such tremendous power, I could have turned the de to the tower, not the gods. But Im not strong enough to betray the Tower, and theres little to gain from betraying the Tower. It was hard to betray the tower in this position. Then you wont be able to climb the tower any more. Thats troublesome. Still, as a challenger, I had a strong desire to climb the tower. However, as if this was expected, the god of light spoke with a smile on his face. [I knew I would refuse, but its a pity that it turned out like this. ] . [Then I wont be tempted. trade with each other instead. ] A deal? [The world says its a middle way. ] The god of light shook the halo and continued. [From now on, the Ancient Godhead will not interfere to harm you. ] What is that [But dont be hostile to a deity that hasnt harmed you instead. ] . [Isnt this a good enough deal? ] Then the deities hostile to me [Dont let that interfere. Live or die, you know. ] Okay. I think the terms of the deal will suffice. [ the change of attitude is quick. ] Because I dont hate trading without loss. The Ancient Godhead wonty a hand on me anymore. Even other deities have the right to deal with those who do harm first. This is a huge benefit, so theres no reason to refuse it. This would be a level that even the Tower could condone. maybe. Well, if he really wanted to dry the tower, he would have revealed his will. Seeing that the top didnt show any reluctance, it must have been something that didnt bother them. I immediately nodded and epted the deal. And [Okay. Then this is the end of the deal. Now you can talk. my friends ] The god of light said so as if he had nothing to say. friend (friend). I knew immediately who the target was without thinking deeply. an ancient deity. Those who sit in the top seats now have the right to speak. [Uh heh heh. I thought I was going to die because it wasnt fun. god of light. I even thought I wanted to sleep for a long time. ] The first to respond to those words was the demon god. [ Han Seong-yoon! There is no need to talk too long! The previous contract in Macheon has been excellently fulfilled! ] Heughed cheerfully, then looked at me and shouted loudly. [No, it was more than great! I could never have thought that he would drive all the gods on the 7th floor to ruin! It was more than expected! ] Ah yes [So I will reward you! Hahaha! Even so, it seems like a reward already given to you by the God of Darkness! ] It doesnt matter. The authority of the tower is a power that I have never encountered too much. [Its nice to hear that! ] After those words, the ck energy from the demons body reached out and flowed into me like a sh. Acquisition of Exclusive Permission #A-9871[Gaze Blocking] It bes possible topletely block the line of sight of the Godhead and Administrator. This can be activated and terminated at any time by the person who possesses the permission Blind Eyes. It was a very good privilege in that it could be used not only by administrators but also by godheads. Is this simr to the authority that allowed the Tower to arbitrarily disable observation of trials? Of course, the versatility itself would be superior to the ability to restrict the observation of trials written by the Tower. In fact Exclusive authority #A-9871[Gaze Blocking] is activated. All deities and managers gazes are blocked at once. did. thats interesting. This does not stop at simple eye-blocking purposes. Ill be able to erase some of the shapeless pressure given through divinity. As I felt pleasure in it, I removed the activator of the gaze block, and soon a foolish voice was heard. [Ughhh! heir! I can give you anything like that! ] It was a dragon god. As if she couldnt lose after seeing the reward given by the demon god, she immediately handed me a gray aura. [Ill give you this, dont be like that,e under me! Ive also learned the Dragon God style, so Ill treat you well! ] Exclusive authority #K-1547[Information ess] acquired. View information possessed by beings of low rank through the system. This exclusive authority can be used without restrictions even for non-living things. Information Reading. Having received an unexpected reward, I smiled lightly. I dont think he had this kind of authority. Being able to know the information possessed by low-ranking beings was a considerable advantage. That should be the case too [Exclusive authority #K-1547 [Information viewing] is activated. Through this, it is possible to see information that cannot be seen. Damcheonwu A challenger who climbed to the 41st floor of the Tower of Trials as the 7th blood demon of the Blood Demon Faith . Waiting. He is currently in a state of fear. Originally, I couldnt see the information window of the Soul Ego nested in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword but by using the right to view information, I could now even see Damcheonwoos condition. Its interesting. I had been wondering why he was silent from before, but it seemed to be because he was frightened by the deities. I dont know what it means to wait for the moment of choice. Still, I knew enough that this was a more useful power than I thought. Of course [ Now that Ive handed over the authority given to me by the Tower, will you ept my offer as an apostle? ] I dont like it. [ uh? ] However, I will use the authority you gave me as a gift. Receiving a good authority is a given, and an offer to be an apostle is another matter. [Where is that! You bastard! Even after learning dragon god skills at will! ] The dragon god proposes an apostleship to the challenger Han Seong-yoon! Of course, it wasnt from the dragon god, so Im not grateful for this. [If you think about it, its because I gave permission to give the holy sword to Top! ] The dragon god proposes the apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon! The dragon god offered the apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon! [No! Thank you, but please ept the offer as an apostle! ] The dragon god frowned and stered the system messages with apostle suggestions Exclusive authority #A-9871[Gaze Blocking] is activated. All gods and administrators gazes are blocked at once. Gaze Blocking Authority When I activated it again, the system message stering was also immediately cut off. Its nice to have authority. Thats because you can immediately cut off the annoying godhead. Soon, I looked down from the dragon god, who was still grunting, and looked at a godhead. God of Proof. He was the first god of proof he encountered in the tower. [ okay. Youve proven yourself enough. I will pay for that too. ] With eyes that seemed to reflect everything like a mirror, he smiled and gave off pure white energy. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] has been acquired. It bes possible to increase the level of reward obtained through the trials of the tower. However, currently [Increase reward (1/2)] is in an iplete state. Instead of aplete grade increase, it is a level where [+] is added to the normal grade. Compensation increase. her. Now, its beyond the point of being useful. I dont know what authority this is again Being able to raise the level of rewards received from the tower is a force other thanmon sense. Of course, its still at the level of adding [+] to the general grade but the story is different when you acquire the right to increase the full reward. Because this authority is still only half. And the person who couldplete this reward increase authority was determined. I kept my eyes on the God of Proof. But [If you pay for the rest of the proof, Ill give you the rest. ] The god of proof did not immediatelyplete the authority to increase the reward. [ Common area on the 21st floor. Ill wait for you at the Temple of Proof there. At that time, I will also clear your doubts. ] I knew what the curiosity he was talking about. 11th floor ordeal. The future me as seen through the holy relic prepared by the God of Proof. About that, the God of Proof wants to tell you. Its about the future me. [ okay. Originally, I was going to tell you in the holy ground in the Ares dimension. I mean, things are a little different. ] I see. 21st floormon area. As soon as we arrive, we wille to you right away. [ Dont expect. ] With that said, the God of Proof closed his eyes as if his business was over Conditions satisfied. As a result, challenger Han Seong-yoon escapes from the [Labyrinth Temple] and returns to thebyrinth where the hierarchy is omitted. In the message that followed, I felt a strange feeling of floating in my body. When moving to the finalyer of thebyrinth, ability recovery will not be activated due to skipping theyer. However, as long as the ability is not restored, the difficulty of the finalyer will be readjusted. Now, the end of thebyrinth was really approaching. *** Hard. Before I knew it, the appearance in my field of view changed and I entered a new stage. You have entered the 10th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [End Dimension]. This ce is the finalyer of thebyrinth and is a ce where all challengers who enter thebyrinth are tested. Show potential to ovee the limit. Invoke the end The finalyer of thebyrinth will be cleared when you withstand the power of God 4 or more times. The finalyer of thebyrinth. To the ce where you can see the end of the Lunatic difficultybyrinth. After reading all the system messages that popped into my field of vision, I looked around. Is this the apocalypse dimension The 10th floor stage was, as the name suggests, a dimension approaching the apocalypse. The wreckage of copsed buildings and the corpses that looked like something had been crushed were telling us that this world hade to an end. As I silently watched the scene, my instincts set off an rm. I felt an unknown sense of alienation. Looking at this ce itself, I just had the impression that a dungeon break had taken ce . As I was thinking about why that was, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword suddenly rang. I was so frightened that I didnt say anything, but I finally opened my mouth. DThis is nonsense This is There is no way you can survive What are you talking about all of a sudden? But Exclusive authority #A-9871[Blind line of sight] temporarily loses authority due to divinity < fall >. !? Soon, the line of sight disappeared, and I immediately raised my head at the presence I felt in the sky. It was because I felt a tremendous divinity that could not be measured. And The god of despair, fall, and madness is looking at you. Then I opened my eyes to the sky through the system messages. what the hell is that? Beyond the haze of heterogeneous divinity The god of despair, fall, and madness smiles at you. Innumerable eyeballs floated on the surface of the cloud, smiling. was building The god of despair, fall and madness is greedy for your divinity. Thats a very unpleasantugh. Chapter 202 202. Ancient Godhead (4) The eyes floating on the ck cloud made of divinity drew an unpleasant arc. The god of despair, fall, and madness is greedy for your divinity. I thought with my mouth shut as I red at the system message that popped into my field of vision. What kind of deity is that ck cloud and why is it greedy for my divinity? But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldnt figure out what the hell the situation was. It was worth it. Because the current situation is out of the normal category in many ways. God of despair, fall and madness? In the first ce, I didnt even know that there was a deity with three divinities in the deity. Even for those who were called ancient gods, most of the divinities in their names were fixed as one. Even just by looking at it, it was easy to tell that it was an unusual deity. It was because the divine power felt in the ck cloud was at the same level asbining several ancient gods. Its not enough to have a spirit that Ive never seen before, so its not enough to have this much divine power I think I know why Damcheonwu was so frightened. Lunatic Difficulty. I thought that the name of the difficulty was well worth it. But that was only for a moment. Honey! Suddenly, something like tentacles sprouted from the ck cloud, and I heard something like a hum. [Give it to me. Mortals. Its not power for you] It was a prophecy mixed with noise, like listening to a noisy radio broadcast. As soon as I heard those words, I felt the magic power in my body fluctuate greatly. Then, some of the magical energy in his body was dyed ck and he could no longer move ording to his will. as if it were contaminated. What is this again I immediately frowned at that and spread divinity through my body. Hwaaak! A dazzling golden light rippled through the body, spreading energy, and soon the magic within the body was freed from contamination. I survived the despair, fall, and the power of the god of madness once. At that time, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword vibrated loudly and Damcheonwus voice was heard. DDamn it! Sungyoon Han! You have to get out of your seat right away! The situation changedpletely before he could react to the extremely urgent voice. Kwaaang-! Suddenly, a tentacle sprouted from a ck cloud and plunged to the ground. Then, as if injecting something into thend, its size was inted. Due to divinity < fall >, the power of the in contact with divinity declines. Due to divinity < despair >, the vitality of the in contact with divinity is cut off . And As soon as the divine powers were activated one after another, I was shocked with my eyes wide open. That would be the case too Kugugugugu! Because the ground was dyed ck in the blink of an eye by divine authority, and the intent to kill began to vibrate. Even the ground, which has been dyed ck, is shaken and the ground surface is turned upside down. Looking at it, I intuitively noticed. This is The god of despair, fall, and madness smiles. Its a battle that can never be won. *** This exnation suddenly came to my mind through a system message. The phrases that the was eroded by the divine < despair >, < fall >, and < madness > came to mind. At the time, I didnt immediately understand what that meant. Ive seen deities that have eroded part of the earth, but Ive never seen one that eroded the itself. But only now the message that the has been eroded is starting to make sense. I never thought thatary erosion would really rule the itself Kwagwagwagwa! Murderous intentions fluctuate wildly in all directions. Grains of ck sand pour down like shotguns out of nowhere, and a ck storm rages in the air apanied by thunderbolts. It seemed that the will of the world itself would only kill me. The power skill, Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 110%. Current skill ovep progress C [11] So, I immediately activated the power skill and quickly left the seat. -You must run away! If you touch that divinity, its all over! Get as far away as possible! With those words, Damcheonwu activated all of the Soul Ego-specific skills. True Blood Demon Swords Soul Ego skill < Magical Explosion (A+) > is activated. Increases the level of magic power in the body. True Blood Demon Swords Soul Ego skill < Thought eleration (A-) ) > is activated. Thinking is elerated. True blood demon swords soul ego skill < Small Heart (B+) > is activated. Virtual magical organ that assists magical movement is created. It will be done. I immediately activated the engraving skill ordingly. Activate the < Engraving Skill: Divine Amplification (B+) > of the True Blood Demon Sword. Whoa! The moment when the divinity operating inside the body is greatly amplified and its energy is revealed to the outside. Chiyi. One of the ck tentacles that had been chasing at speed like a light beam was annihted when it touched the divine light. But [ Cheeky! ] Did that provoke the opponent? The < Imprint Skill: Divinity Amplification (B+) > is temporarily lost due to the Divine < Fall >. The Imprint skill disappeared due to the Divine Authority < Fall > for some unknown reason. Damn it . Presumably, this deity boasting transcendental power would not have been able to defeat it even if it had regained its power. no. As much as he regained his power, the difficulty of the final level of thebyrinth must have also increased Maybe it was better now that the difficulty was adjusted because he couldnt regain his power. If I had regained all my strength in the finalyer of thebyrinth, I might have had to deal with it as a body rather than an incarnation. Calmly thinking, in the current situation, there was no way to defeat the god of despair, fall, and madness. As long as there is < Crash >, there is no point in doing anything. Even if he was able to use apotheosis, it didnt seem like he would be able to maintain his apotheosis against a force that even blocked exclusive rights. But that doesnt mean the current situation is so good either. Even if the god of despair, fall, and madness cannot generate power, running away with my life is all I can do. Of course, there was no way out of this hopeless situation. The condition for clearing the finalyer of thebyrinth was to withstand the power of God at least 4 times. I had already blocked the magical erosion caused by the prophecy, so the number of times left was about three. It may not be possible to win, but it is possible to clear it if you endure the attack three times. But the problem is that even surviving those three times will be more difficult than expected. Although I had collected enough information about the divine authority < Crash > I still couldnt figure out what the abilities of < Despair > and < Madness > were. Its just a vague guess that < despair > cuts off the connection with something and < madness > erodes something. I still need to gather some more information. If you rush to clear the finalyer of thebyrinth, you will face dog death. I continued thinking with my eyes wide open. In the current situation, I have already lost two cards: the ability to block gaze and the skill to amplify divinity. But there was a fact that I found out through it. The Divine Power < Fall > cannot be used against an unused ability. The < Crash > is that I cant get rid of my ability at will. Only abilities that were used at least once were sealed, so this could be said to be reliable information. Of course, there is a possibility that the god of despair, fall, and madness misunderstood the conditions for triggering < fall > against me. He probably didnt do anything to mislead the condition. The god of despair, fall, and madness was showing great greed for me, and at the same time belittling me as a mortal. Rather than a precise and sophisticated fight, he must have intended to hit it blindly with force. Thats why they erode the like this and drive me into a corner. . After thinking about it for a while, I came to a conclusion. I think I can. It seemed that if I used all the tiles in my hand, I would be able to clear the final level of thebyrinth. There are three remaining counts, but in fact, considering thest resistance skill, the remaining counts are two. In a word, if you have the means to withstand two attacks, the rest will be taken care of. So, maybe even if I swing my sword and deflect small attacks, the number of remaining counts will decrease Ting! Is it a failure? Even if he swung his twin swords and knocked out all the grains of sand shot like shotguns, the remaining count did not disappear. Even the sand grains that were knocked out were shot out with ck energy more violently than before. The cause was immediately discovered. Is the condition for consuming the remaining number of times achieved based on whether or not the power is extinguished? I had previously prevented the god of despair, fall, and madness from attempting to erode magical power. By driving out the divinity of the enemy through my divinity. At that time, I remembered the message that I had endured properly Despair, fall, and whether or not the attack attempted by the god of madness perishes or not perishes must be the condition for the number of perseverance. It is more difficult than you think. But Its worth a try. Nheless, the road to victory certainly existed. *** Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +47. Special buff < Blessing of the one who does not fall > is activated. Ability closely rted to Divinity is Divinity It resists the < fall >. However, this resistance is not absolute and can be affected when the power of the divine < fall > is concentrated. Originally, I was worried that the myth would be sealed by the divine authority < fall >. Now that we have umted enough battle data, it is possible to be certain. Seeing that I cant make the power skill disappear, I cant use < fall > for powers rted to divinity. It is that the power inherent in divinity cannot be made to disappear. Thats why, without hesitation, he invoked the < Reversal Hero > myth. Mythology is also a power created by umting faith in divinity. But there was an unexpected harvest. DThe protection of those who do not fall You acquired a special buff called the protection of those who do not fall in < The Hero of Reversal >. It was also a buff that made all abilities rted to divinity unaffected by < fall >. DIts definitely a good ability. This wont help much in actualbat. you know that too How could I not know that? DIt is a monster with as many as three divinities in its deity. Even without < fall >, there is < despair >, and without < despair >, there is < madness >. Thats why you must nevere into contact with divine attacks. Know. < Fall > is a cheat key that can be activated without any conditions for abilities that have been used before. < Despair > and < Insanity > can only be activated for those who have unconditionally touched the divine. It is a fact that cannot be known. So Dam Chun-wu told him that he would suffer great losses if he approached him arrogantly after gaining resistance to < fall >. But I have no intention of sticking together and fighting. Now, a new path has been opened with resistance to < fall >. Because if you have resistance to < fall >, you can use this too. At that, I smiled thickly and activated the skill right away. The skill Star Light is strongly activated. From now on, the battle will be different. And at great speed. Chapter 203 203. Ancient Godhead (5) < The Fall >. One of the divine authority used by the god of despair, fall, and madness This divine authority < fall > had the power to cause a temporary loss of ability. From what Ive seen so far, it probably targets an ability whose use has been observed, temporarily destroying that ability itself. Its definitely a great ability like a cheat. Admitted. The < fall > used by the god of despair, fall, and madness was enormous. However, if you ask if the divine authority < fall > is wless, that is not the case again. It is also true that you cannot designate an ability that has not been used as a target for disappearance with < Fall > . < Blessing of those who do not fall >. This special buff acquired in the myth < The Warrior of Reversal > created resistance to < Fall >. Of course, even with this, I couldntpletely resist the divine authority < fall > but at least some of the restrictions on movement disappeared. Having resistance means that the < fall > wont helplessly dissipate the ability. Now he can use the skills he had kept without being able to use them. The skill Starlight Starlight is strongly activated. Farah! A sphere of light created in the air furiously intes divinity within it. and. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Then, as soon as the outer shell was removed, the divine light exploded. Kazijijik! The grains of sand rushing in as if they were going to pierce the body, and the typhoon carrying thunder and lightning disappeared at once. Even without leaving a trace. I survived the despair, fall, and the power of the god of madness twice. Therefore, the extinction judgment was made, and half of the clear conditions were fulfilled. nice. In fact, considering that one turn left as thest resistance can be endured without any conditions, it is now one turn left. But [a mortal doing something stupid] The opponent knows that my goal is not to winpletely, so the difficulty will be different from before. Jijik. The voice with noise now reached a level where ones mental strength was cut into pieces just by listening to it. Do I have to say that listening to the prophecies makes me feel like bugs are crawling in my head? Not a very good feeling. [With something like you the tower will not be able to achieve the desired oue] In response, I immediately used the divinity in my body to get rid of that unpleasant feeling. [That power as expected it would be right for it to be given to me rather than to a mortal like you] However, unlike before, it didnt lead to an overt attack, so the attack extinction judgment didnt appear. [Ill stop the arrogant struggle soon] After those words, the god of despair, fall, and madness immediately caused a change. The skill Starlight Starlight is temporarily lost due to the divinity < fall >. Resist the skill disappearance with the special buff < Blessing of those who do not fall >. It wasnt as powerless as before. But that was only for a moment. Divinity < fall > releases the exclusive authority #A-9871[Blind line of sight] from the lost state. Suddenly, the exclusive authority that was initially lost through < fall > was restored. What trick is this again? The god of despair, fall and madness was still hostile to me. Deration of abandonment? It wasnt like that, but now I could understand it to mean that the battle phase had changed. In fact, the guess was right the next moment, as if it wasnt wrong. The Divine < Crash > consumes the specified number of falls in excess and prates the resistance. The skill Starlight Starlight is temporarily lost due to the Divine < Crash > . will be. I gnashed my teeth at him. I heard that < Protection of the one who does not fall > is not an absolute resistance force, so did that mean this case? understood. The resistance against the divine authority < fall > was only resistance. Therefore, if you invest in Light Disappearance exceeding the specified number of < Fall >, the resistance will be broken. To put it more simply, it was like this. A stone that cannot be broken with 10 hits is broken by increasing the number of hits with 100 hits. As the blows increase, the stones wonderful durability will wear out and break. I never thought something like this would be possible. The use of ovepping divine powers. It was to the point where I wanted to stick my tongue out in an unexpected situation. But there was an ie. After all, even the Divine Authority < Crash > has a limited number Maybe this battle isnt as disadvantageous as I thought. *** Exclusive authority #A-9871[Gaze Blocking] is activated. All deities and administrators gazes are blocked simultaneously. I re-activated the Gaze Blocking permission that had been released from the disappearance state. Soon, the pressure of the gaze from the god of despair, fall, and madness lessened. The pressure from the eyes of the opponent was not a little, so it had a meaningful effect. However, the subsequent offensive was not easy to say that it had benefited this much. By divinity < Despair >, all will that touches divinely-infused attacks is severed. By divinity < madness >, all wills touched by divinity-infused attacks are eroded. < Despair > and < madness >. It was the act of invoking divine powers that had not been actively used until now. They didnt even attack with natural disasters throughary erosion now. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hundreds of tentacles stretched out in unison from the ck clouds that settled in the sky. Looking at that, I quickly turned my thoughts around. Are cutting and erosion the essence of divine authority? < Despair > severes the will, and < Madness > erodes the will. I knew the essence. However, there is still insufficient information to know the applications and results. He had already thought of how to deal with the < fall >. I need to find out more information. For now, it would be important toy the foundation for a one-step reversal, even if it means taking risks . Swoop. Calming my mind, I gently swung my twin swords and reached down. The two swords in my hands are softness that has been trained to the limit. It reminds me of the Changcheon Secret Sword, which Namgung-hyeok, the Changcheon Sword Dragon, showed off. Perhaps the form for the secret sword of the Changcheon was created with the thought of a valiant sword that traverses the Changcheon. But that would not be enough to shed the power of a god. I had to get rid of the will itself and calm my will to the level of being assimted into nature. Thebyrinth achievement Rare has been achieved. Thebyrinth score +4 points are obtained. Quatsuits! The ck tentacles shot from above collided with the twin swords, releasing ck divinity as if inting. But all that divinity flows gently from the sword. The will that dwells in the sword subsides before anyone knows it, and neither the will cutting by < despair > nor the will erosion by < madness > ur. It was worth it. Because the will embedded in the sword is almost non-existent. He surprised me. Originally, I didnt think Id be able to block this well Maybe due to the crazy idea of spilling an attack with a double sword, I thought I might be seriously injured. But it wasnt. In a situation driven to the limit, the skill of the sword had grown to an extent that surprised me. And that too fast to make sense. DBecause youre such a madman. Do you get enlightenment in this situation? Even non-partisan long-time writers will give up and go. Is this growth brought on by genius? Im not sure, but whatever the cause of the growth was, I didnt think it mattered much. Anyway, even this small skill growth is not enough to deal with the god of despair, fall, and madness. Moving my sword gently, I nced up at the dark clouds in the sky. An unpleasant assemge of divinities with countless eyeballs attached to them. and. Exclusive authority #K-1547[Information ess] is activated. I used the information ess authority I received from the dragon god. Only a small amount of information can be viewed targeting a higher-ranking being than the user. Of course, since the information was viewed against a higher-ranking deity, it did not show its original value. It could be said that the information reading, which was attempted like a gamble, was sessful, and that it benefited more than expected. God of despair, fall, and madness The first candidate selected by the Tower. Currently not ssified as a challenger, and has retained the given by the Tower. Three of the originally existing deities It is an ancient deity that superimposed divine names by doing so. He is very greedy for the current challenger Han Seong-yoons . Next, after reading all the system messages generated by reading information, I narrowed my eyes. The first candidate selected by the tower? I would never have thought that the god of despair, fall, and madness was a deity from a challenger. A shocking fact. But it was difficult to react to it. Currently, I am swinging the sword, and this is a task that should not be distracted. As I was taking care of him, the information window suddenly disappeared. Exclusive permission #K-1547[View information] prevents you from seeing the information of high-ranking opponents for a long time. Exclusive permission #K-1547[View information] is forcibly stopped and a cooldown of 10 minutes is created. Because of forcibly reading the information of a high-ranking opponent, a cooldown was created following the suspension of the use of authority. But I read all the important information. The god of despair, fall, and madness is the first candidate selected by the tower . I know enough information. Now that he had acquired most of the information he wanted, it was time to make a bet. The odds were simple. The skill Destroy Heaven is activated. The limit on what can be destroyed disappears. Bringing out the weakness of the divine authority < fall > to the fullest. That was the best strategy to break through this situation. Quadruped! The dark tentacles were pushed back as the power of the heavens dwelled in the twin swords that shed ck tentacles. In a state that was slightly scratched by the broken cloth. Isnt it judged that it endured the power of God to the extent that it scratched? The god of despair, fall, and madness immediately reaped the ck tentacles and continued to prophesy as if annoyed. [Top Did you give me something like this again Power that I cant handle anyway] And. [The toy-like power you put in the hands of a mortal like this can be ruled out as much as you like ] With those words, the divinity amplification that was previously lost due to < Crash > returned and Pacheon disappeared. Divinity < Fall > frees < Imprint Skill: Divinity Amplification (B+) > from the loss state. Divine < Fall > consumes the specified number of falls in excess and prates resistance. Divine < Fall > As a result, the skill Death Heaven is temporarily lost. I smiled at that. I knew it woulde out like this. This was the biggest problem with < Crash >. Activate the True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Divinity Amplification (B+) > right after amplifying the divinity in the body. Chi profit! I burned the rushing ck tentacles with my divinity and flew high into the air. To a ck cloud with countless eyeballs sprouting. [Its absurd.] The god of despair, fall, and madness immediately activated < Fall > as if he was pathetic, but As expected, it goes like this. Divinity < Crash > releases the skill Starlight Starlight from the loss state. Divinity < Crash > consumes the specified number of falls in excess and prates resistance. Divinity < Call > < Engraving Skill: Divinity Amplification (B+) > is temporarily lost. This was exactly what I was aiming for. The skill Starlight Starlight is strongly activated. Kwagwagwagwang! The dark red divine light pushes away the ck tentacles at once like a sh battle, dealing some damage. Of course, the Divine Authority < Fall > was activated immediately, but even this fell within the expected range. Even if the holy light disappears, Pacheon wille back like this. Right away, I swung it around the twin swords, and the ck tentacles were driven to the point of beingpletely cut off. [This god damned mortal] The skill Death Heaven is temporarily lost due to the divinity < Crash >. The god of despair, fall, and madness, frightened by that fact, immediately sealed the Fallen .. Divinity < Fall > frees < Imprint Skill: Divinity Amplification (B+) > from disappearing state. In return, the Divinity Amplification was definitely returned to me. Paaa! Then, the moment when the ck tentacles began to melt due to divine amplification. The god of despair, fall, and madness uttered an angry voice. [Being annoyed with the mortal subject! How far do you think you can go with useless expedients! ] Now this deity is also understood. The fact that the current situation has be very unfavorable to him. No matter how much I use < Fall >, now the abilities return in order, so there is no point in using divine powers. Even if the ability is lost due to the stacking of divine power, another ability is returned due to the excess . Anyway, it seems that the targets that can be designated with < Crash > are already limited, but then the battle is already over. Therefore, it can be seen that the meaning of < Crash > has faded. However, the god of despair, fall, and madness soon mumbled a prophecy like a whisper. [ okay. mortal Ill y along with you a little bit. ] At first nce, it seemed that the anger had subsided, but in reality it was not at all. [In return, I will take your soul for the game. ] I replied with a smile at that noisy voice. However much. *** A battle urred in which the same process was repeated. Skills disappear and return hundreds of times due to the divine power < fall > In the midst of a really difficult and annoying battle with the god attack, I started to get pushed back. It was worth it. While that other side is ssified as an ancient deity, I am not even a proper deity. Perhaps the god of despair, fall and madness wants me to die of exhaustion. Know. Even if you go this far and turn < fall > into a virtually meaningless power. The disadvantage in this battle is that I am alone from start to finish and there is no way to kill the enemy. But my victory condition is not to kill that ancient deity. The condition for clearing the finalyer of thebyrinth is to withstand the godheads attack 4 times. And the counting of the endurance is based on theplete dissipation of the power used by the god of despair, fall, and madness. In other words In any case, if you seed in extinguishing the power of the god of despair, fall, and madness, you can fill the count one more time. And I was also thinking about how to fill that first episode. The skill Destructive Heaven is activated. The limit on what can be broken is gone. The moment you get the Destructive skill, you can break anything by pouring your magic into it. Authority Sword me Jigyeong֮ is strongly activated. I activated the sword me power that I had been saving until now. and. Increases the power of Power skill skills by [4] times by consuming holy power. Gathering most of the holy power in the body and keeping it as it is, the sword Increased the power contained in it several times. At the same time, I swung my sword at the ck tentacles pouring down on me, and then a neat result was drawn. Kwaji Jijik!! I survived 3 times from despair, fall, and the power of the god of madness. All of the ck tentacles could not withstand the sword attack and died as they were brutally cut down. Did it bother me that I was close to the level clear condition? [A worthless mortal! I mean, let go of that power! ] The god of despair, fall, and madness let out a sound close to noise filled with fury. The God of Despair, Fall, and Madness paid a huge amount of holy power to the tower. The God of Despair, Fall, and Madness acquires the right to use limited myths. Then, as if it were thest phase, the myth was activated. The wave of predation created by Shinhwa < Greed > engulfs the challenger Han Seong- yoon . ck waves pour like a waterfall from the sky as if to swallow the world. I could understand it by looking at it. This is unstoppable. I dont know what function the myth of Tom is, but one thing is certain. That means getting out of it is impossible. But there was no reason to avoid it. That would be too. Kwaaang! The skill Last Resistance is activated. Invalidates the fatal wound inflicted on you. All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills arepensated. The skill cooldown for one week . Time will be given. I didnt dodge thest attack anyway, and I tried to endure it with ast stand. Its finally over. As the final resistance, the ck wave itself created by Shinhwa < Greed > was nullified and disappeared, and the message I wanted came to mind. I have endured 4 times from the power of the god of despair, fall, and madness. Right Conditions satisfied. Clearing the 10th floor of the giant treebyrinth [end dimension] will give you a reward for clearing thebyrinth. Congrattions ! You have cleared Lunatic difficulty for the first time among all the challengers in the Giant Tree Labyrinth . Watching the system messages thate to my mind without rest I realized that I had really cleared the final level of thebyrinth. However, there was no time to rx and think about the clearing. [ Top! iced coffee! My oldest friend! Why are you abandoning me! ] It deserved it. Because the god of despair, fall, and madness was howling without being able to hide his resentment. [Give me a chance! If I had that mortal power! There wont be any mistakes like before!] However, it was only for a moment to see it. After clearing the finalyer of thebyrinth, challenger Han Seong-yoon will return to the earth dimension. The light enveloped her whole body and her vision was blocked, and soon she felt a feeling of floating that she had never experienced before. Its going back to Earth. Now that you have cleared the final level of thebyrinth, you will return to your original position as the event ends. It took a long time, but the thought of clearing thebyrinth and returning like this didnt make me feel too bad. And . I smiled as I watched thest message emerge through my increasingly blurry vision. I never thought this would be created as soon as I clear thebyrinth. Newly gathered tales have umted in a sufficient amount to create a myth. Calcte a myth ording to the actual result and Shinto belief. Finally The myth < Possibility of Transcendence > has beenpleted. A new myth is created. It became. Chapter 204 204. Dystopia (1) After seeing the system message, I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, the scenery changed. white space. My body was floating in a ce that reminded me of pure white drawing paper. Before I knew it, I felt that all the items, such as the twin swords in my hand and the mask worn on my face, had disappeared. what? I felt a sense of alienation to him. It was worth it. They say theyre returning to Earth, but I dont know what this is again Listening to the cry of the god of despair, fall, and madness, I saw the phrase return to Earth. So I thought I would be able to return to the tower without having to deal with that crazy godhead Confirmed clearing the finalyer of thebyrinth. Deleting the data in thebyrinth and loading the challenger data in the tower . Could it be that there was still a process to go through? Loading failed. Loading and overwriting failed due tobyrinth privilege Absolute Preservation (SSS+). Bybyrinth privilege Absolute Preservation (SSS+), all abilities obtained in thebyrinth are transferred to the existing challenger data. We integrate. An unexpected situation has urred. I couldnt believe it, but all the abilities obtained in thebyrinth disappeared. Perhaps all of my abilities didnt seem to disappear because the absolute preservation I had purchased as a perk in thebyrinth was activated. Because of that, Im trying to add the abilities I got in thebyrinth to my existing information, which I had no choice but to overwrite. To be honest, its like a system error caused by the Labyrinth perk Absolute Preservation. Its a benefit. Considering the stats, skills, and powers he had obtained in thebyrinth, it was a huge advantage. It takes some time to integrate abilities. Of course, it was said that it would take time to see if the system could not integrate abilities right away. It didnt bother me too much. However, it seems difficult tobine the information in thebyrinth with the information in the tower in such a short time. It seemed like it would be okay to look at the newly created mythology until all abilities were integrated. I said it was the possibility of transcendence. It was a myth obtained by surviving despair, falling, and a god of madness so it was natural to expect it. From the name of the myth, the word transcendence is also included, so wouldnt it be a myth dedicated to growth? In response, I drew an arc at the corner of my mouth and read the system message log piled up in the corner of my field of vision. And The myth < possibility of transcendence > ispleted. The myth < possibility of transcendence > umtes in divine power. I was intensely interested in the effects that followed. From now on, when challenger Han Sung-yoon activates the myth, the effect of < causal reversal > is applied. You will have a victorious destiny by the causality rate. However, despite using the causal rate of always winning, if you lose to your opponent, you will face a headwind of the causal rate. When the < divine rise > effect is applied. Each time you win against a divine power, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases. Each time you repeat victory, ascension gets closer. When this rises, special rewards are sometimes given. Its amazing. Its different from what I thought, but this was surprising as it is. < causal reversal > and < divine ascension >. These effects attached to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > were not so easy to understand. Among them, < Cause and Reversal > had a difficult exnation from beginning to end. Creating a causal rate that guarantees victory against an unwinnable enemy? I had a hard time understanding what the hell this meant. Its probably like < Reversal Hero > or < Contempt for the Strong >, a buff against opponents . There is even an unknown penalty called causalitys headwind in case of defeat, even to the subject of the opponents buff. Considering that there has never been a myth with a penalty, it was unusual. If you think about it the other way around, wouldnt this be a powerful enough force to be penalized? I am very curious about what the causal rate that must win written in the exnation is. Anyway, this is something you wont know unless you encounter an enemy so powerful that you cant defeat it. First of all, I understood it to be that I got a very good buff ability. < Divinity Ascension > is a simple effect that increases the level of divinity whenever you win against a godhead. Even this, I was concerned because of the words written under it, Each time you repeat victory, your ascension gets closer. What is the concept of ascension? I thought about it for a while, but the conclusion I came to was no different from the previous one. Right away Anyway, if you try to write < Reversal of Causal > or < Divine Rise >, you will know for sure. If you use it in realbat, you will be able to find out its true identity. Therefore, I soon stopped thinking about mythology. And just in time, a system message popped up as if the work was over. Integrated settingsplete. Applied all the abilities acquired in thebyrinth to challenger Han Seong-yoons data. However, [HP] and [MP] concepts are not applied because they are functions exclusive to the giant treebyrinth. opened the window Han Seong-yoon Halo C Ruler Muscle C 217 Physical strength C 219 Agility C 218 Magic C 224 Endurance C 214 Unique Attribute C Necromancy (A) Unique Authority C Skill Synthesis Unique Divine Authority C Transcendence (SSS+) Basic Divine Authority C Apotheosis (SS+) Power C Holy Power (A) Blood Heaven (C+) Warriors Protection (C+) Brightness Index (C-) Faith Harvest ( C+) Shunbo (B+) Geomchi Seonggang (S+) Ghost Control (B+) Heavenly Demon Regiment (S+) Steel Wings (C+) Iron Blooded Sword (A-) Rapid Magic Recharge (C+) Sword Demons Way (S) Skill C Take a Closer Look Now, hes really at a level where hes not like a human being. All stats exceeded 200. In fact, it was a crazy body that could knock down several buildings with a light punch. Wouldnt it be possible to easily destroy a city at this point without using magic? Considering that he had struggled against enemies like Changchun Sword Dragon, Namgunghyuk, it was an amazing growth. And besides stats, the number of main skills such as powers and skills also increased and became stronger. I can definitely feel that Ive grown up. After checking the status window like that, a new system message came to mind. Complete unification of the challenger data has been achieved. Now, the challenger Han Seong-yoon returns to the Earth dimension from a random space. Now it was time to really go back. *** In the blink of an eye, the space changes again. I have returned to the earth dimension. All equipment has been transferred to the inventory. After returning to the tower, you can retrieve all equipment from the inventory. Before I knew it, I arrived at the ce I was staying on Earth before entering the giant treebyrinth. did. But that was only for a moment. Time is over. Return to the Tower of Trials. The message of returning to the Tower came to mind, and the space changedpletely. ah. Come to think of it, while I was in thebyrinth, I had forgotten that the duration of the Hearthstone had also expired. I never thought Id go back to the tower as soon as I returned to Earth. At least I wanted to talk with my teammates in various ways and go back, but it turned out to be a pity. Catherine Bet was even more so because she was also suffering from a fever. I wanted to pay a visit to the hospital. I entered the waiting room on the 18th floor. However, I went straight to the waiting room, putting those thoughts to shame. A ce that now feels like home. At that, I sighed heavily. I cant help it I neatly gave up on the idea of going to Earth. I came back to the tower like this, but I didnt want to go back to Earth. This is not because I want to reduce the points that will be consumed in the process of purchasing a hearthstone. To be honest, I can buy hearthstones any number of times now. Its just that after using the Hearthstone, you must stay on Earth for that period. I didnt want to waste my time staying a few more days on Earth. He would be like that too I knew there were so many strong enemies, but I cant stay still. Through the giant treebyrinth event, I realized that tremendously strong people exist. There were still overflowing people with extraordinary powers, as if I was nothing. Such were the gods of despair, fall, and madness seen in the finalyer of thebyrinth. Did you say you were the first candidate selected by the tower? It was definitely more powerful than an ancient deity. The existence, which did not even look like a human anymore, was a monster that even the ancient gods could not deal with. If what was there was the body rather than the incarnated body, I would have surely died instantly. without any resistance. I hated that. To the god of despair, fall, and madness, I am nothing, and I would not have been able to survive without the tower protecting me. That fact pushed me to the point that I needed to be stronger. So, I had no intention of stopping. Lets climb the tower as quickly as possible. I immediately put the top-specificmand into my mouth. Inventory. After exiting the giant treebyrinth, all equipment was transferred to the towers inventory For now, there was a need to equip the items in the inventory again. but. This is Then I saw an item in my inventory and put off putting on the equipment for a while. It was the regressors worn-out wristwatch. It was a reward obtained by clearing the finalyer of thebyrinth. Out of curiosity, he immediately pulled out the returners worn-out wristwatch from the inventory. The ck wristwatch, which gives off an antique feel, is engraved with geometric silver patterns. And Worn-out wristwatch of a returner Rating: SSS+ Worn-out wristwatch used by a regressor chosen by the god of time. It is possible to reverse. When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect Attack Nullification can be activated. Randomly designates a specific attack that exists within 50m and returns it to its pre-attack state. After using the exclusive effect Attack Nullification, a cooldown of 30 minutes is created. Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect Return to Death when using it. If life is lost, 10 The entire worlds time goes back to minutes ago. After using the exclusive effect return to death, a cooldown of 30 days is created. I kept my mouth shut. . attack nullification and death return. By specifying a specific attack, the target is returned to its pre-actuation state. When life is lost and death is reached, the entire world returns to 10 minutes ago. I was dumbfounded when I saw an item with nonsensical exclusive effects engraved on it. Have you seen this crazy item Really It was an item that I thought I would be using for a very long time. Chapter 205 205. Dystopia (2) Regressors worn-out wristwatch. The rewards obtained by clearing the Lunatic Difficulty Giant Tree Labyrinth had power beyond imagination. I was dumbfounded by that, so I smiled once and narrowed my eyes. I didnt expect it, but I thought that a reward rted to a divine being would be given. A holy relic left by the god of time who doesnt exist anymore. It is a reward ten times more valuable than the reward you get from climbing the tower. If I had climbed the tower without participating in this giant treebyrinth event, I wouldnt have gotten anything like this. I smiled softly at him and put on the worn-out watch of a regressor. click. I quite liked the feeling of wrapping it around my wrist. The fit itself is fine. However, the true value of a regressors worn-out wristwatch was not in terms offort or stylish appearance. The important thing is performance. Because the appearance or fit of an item doesnt make me stronger. I cant confirm return to death, which is an exclusive effect with a cooldown of 30 days At least attack nullification itself has a cooldown of 30 minutes, so I wanted to find out its effect here. [The skill Starlight Starlight is activated.] After embodying the starlight imbued with divinity in my left hand I activated the exclusive effect inherent in the worn-out watch of the regressor. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification is activated. Skill Starlight Starlight is returned to its pre-attack state by Attack Nullification. Returners Worn Out A 30-minute cooldown is created for the wristwatch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification. The results were very surprising. Hung. Oh As soon as I designated the starlight that floated on the top of my palm as an invalid attack target, the starlight disappeared. Even the divine power consumed by the holy light returned intact to the body. As if the Holy Light had never been activated from the beginning. thats interesting. Seeing that all the costs involved in using the Holy Light came back to me Its not a selfish power that doesnt give back the power used by the enemy, although it doesnt have the result itself like thest resistance skill. But Its useful enough. The advantage of invalidating an attack was that it could block a specific attack used by the opponent in advance. It was even more so because the cooldown time was a short time of 30 minutespared to the performance of the exclusive effect. Depending on the situation, it can also be used in a fairly aggressive form. Even the range of invalidating the attack was not narrow. The skill Counterattack Shield returns to its pre-attack state by Attack Nullification. .. The special power Yonginhwa is returned to the pre-attack state by attack invalidation After investing time and researching the attack invalidation, interesting results emerged. Except for the passive ability that is always activated, is it going to return everything to its pre-activation state? All powers in the form of activation, whether it is a skill or authority, are returned to the state before activation without any conditions. Even the counterattack shield, which is a defensive skill, can be reversed In fact, it has a defense nullification function. At this level, I think Ive learned enough about invalidating attacks. I was satisfied with that, and after checking, I opened the inventory again. Then, he took out all the items that had been sent to the inventory by the tower and wore them. All the items acquired in thebyrinth were also in the inventory. Of course, except for the Mask of Despair, these arent very useful items Still, the Mask of Despair is useful, so lets wear it. The Mask of Despair, which increases shock absorption and power efficiency, was worth using. Even killing creatures, the correction percentage of shock absorption and power efficiency also grew. There was no reason not to write. After wearing all the equipment like that, I heard Dam Chun-wus voice. DAre you finally back at the top? For some reason, I nodded my head instead of answering that timid voice. At that, Dam Chun-wu was silent for a moment, then continued talking. DIm d you survived. I thought that both of them would die on the spot. Is that so. DI still get goosebumps thinking about that crazy ancient deity. You must have felt it then too. It was not amon deity. DOut of heaven. sky outside the sky. He was a truly unapproachable transcendent. Perhaps he is the closest god to a tower-like transcendental being. It made sense to say that. Certainly, the myth of greed that was shown at the end was an unbelievable force. At that time, the god of despair, fall, and madness showed strength beyond the boundaries. Using the myth of swallowing a world on the subject of using an incarnated body rather than the main body I would have died if I had been touched by the ck wave of greed written by the god of despair, fall, and madness. And that too in a very gruesome form. I could be sure of that. -Dont rx. God of despair, fall and madness. The monster coveted your power. yes. It was. It was a huge obsession. DIt must be that you covet the potential you possess that can surpass everything. From now on, he wille looking for you. I know. DAfter reaching the upper level, it will definitely appear again. Until then, you must increase your strength. It will be a time for counseling. It doesnt matter. Its always been like this anyway. Not surprising. So far, I have met several enemies while climbing the tower. Each of them had different reasons and hostile feelings, and drove me into a corner with an uncontroble force. In fact, there were times when I experienced a state close to death. But the ending was always the same. I will never die. Against them, I won the victory in the end. Nothing will change this time either. God of despair, fall and madness. If I can get over it, I will get over it. I calmly showed my confidence, and Dam Chun-wu said with a smile. DIs that so? And then he said that and closed his mouth. As if there was nothing more to say. After finishing the conversation, I touched my chin for a while and thought about it. Should I find out about the god of despair, fall, and madness? There was a time when I used information ess rights on the final level of thebyrinth to find out about him. As the first candidate selected by the tower, the god of despair, fall, and madness was a challenger. that bothered me Like the god of despair, fall, and madness, I am a challenger and have been selected as a candidate by the tower. Because of thatmonality, the awkwardness did not go away. And I already knew where to find out about it. manager. Administrators who have been given a pseudo-divinity by the tower must know something about this as well. I immediately opened my mouth and spoke as if muttering. I have a question. Either of you are wee, so please invite me. please. But . The system message didnt appear in front of my eyes even after time passed. Im not observing. I couldnt feel their gaze, so I wondered if the administrators werent looking at me It seemed like they really were. Originally, in this case, the meeting with the manager had to be postponed untilter. But not anymore. Among the exclusive rights of the tower obtained from the giant treebyrinth, there was also the right to use in this situation. Right away Exclusive authority #B-714 [Region move] is activated. Please specify the manager area to move. It was the area move permission. With this, I can go in and out of the managers area as I please. Next, I chose Baekhakgeomseon as the administrator to use the area movement authority. It was because I wanted to meet Baekhak Geomseon after a long time. Still, formally, hes Master, but I havent seen him for a long time. It was my intention to meet him once. Designationpleted. Move to the area of administrator Baekhakgeomseon(Q). Then, it was the moment when the area movement authority was activated and the space changed. Hyaaaaagh!? I immediately turned my head at the sharp scream like a cats cry. And Sungyun? I could see Baekhakgeomseon staring at me in surprise with greasy lips. and even the snacks spilled on the bed from an overturned bowl. I had an ominous feeling without knowing why. *** Forebodings hit right away, as always. What are you going to do when youe to the managers area without warning! Baekhakgeomseon quickly arranged his seat and began to preach. No matter how the manager and the challenger are rted, it is still between the teacher and the teacher! That Its not polite to enter the ce where the master stays without saying anything! sorry. Actually, I didnt have a way to say anything, so I just used the permission to move the area. So when I said I was sorry, Baekhak Swordsman also calmed down, as if he didnt want to get angry any more. Ugh Anyway, it seems like you know the mistake, so thats enough With that, the sermon was over. Congrattions on clearing the giant treebyrinth. Sungyoon is a great contractor and a proud disciple. Baekhak Geomseon praised me like a carrot after a whip. But it was clear that there was sincerity in his words. To him I calmly expressed my gratitude. is that so. A proud disciple to Master. Thats good. When he speaks, he subtly emphasizes the word teacher. Baekhakgeomseon liked the word teacher. Perhaps this will ease her mood fairly quickly. If Master hadnt been there, I would have been in great danger in thebyrinth. And that idea certainly worked. Baekhakgeomseon trembled and continued talking with the corners of his mouth twitching as if he was barely holding backughter. Thanks to Master Su. Hehehe. thats right It feels good that Sungyoon thinks so. Because I forced myself tough, a little bit ofughter came out while I was talking . I cant believe you forgive me for doing something rude with a mouth that doesnt even look like this. To be honest, I thought it was a bit of a joke. DTsk tsk. Are you deceiving the innocent again? You guys are great too. At that, Damcheonwu clicked his tongue and said something to me, but the words were heard in one ear and passed out in the other. Ah, anyway, I knew Seongyuns heart well. Anyway, why did youe to the managers area? Thats what I came to see Masters face That cant be the case. If you did, you would havee to see me long ago. I couldnt deny it. Actually, I dont look for a manager unless I have a business. Unexpectedly, this puny Master was sharp in this respect. I was worried that perhaps my subtle mouthing that I had been doing a while ago might have been caught, but Still, thank you for thinking that way. But that would be a secondary reason. Maybe thats not the case, Baekhak Geomseon couldnt stand it and smiled and said that. I immediately nodded and replied. Thats right. So, why did youe to see me in such a hurry because you were so curious about it? I came because I wanted to know about the first candidate chosen by the tower. the first candidate? At those words, the white cranes face became serious. Seongyun. Do you know who it refers to? The first candidate selected by the tower is God of despair, fall, and madness. Where did you get that information from? It must have been difficult information to find out? I met the incarnation on the final level of the giant treebyrinth. She closed her eyes for a moment with her mouth shut, then opened them and gave a soft gaze. You have met the incarnation of that fanaticism. And I survived against it. Thats why you know about that fanaticism. What was in those eyes was an emotion close to sympathy. I never thought I would run into something like that Sungyoon. It was really hard. Im d you survived. I couldnt tell you about that fanaticism originally, but now that its like this, the restrictions on information must have been lifted to some extent. Does that mean that you can tell us about the gods of despair, fall, and madness? thats right. Baekhakgeomseon changed his eyes to a serious look and continued. Despair, fall, and the god of madness are concepts like a failure of the Tower. clinker? Seeing that information restrictions have been lifted, Sungyoon must also know about the purpose of the tower. Thats right. As you know, the Tower is trying to raise true transcendentalists in order to obliterate divine beings. That fanaticism is a remnant of the Towers first attempt to raise a transcendent. I focused on him and said. Please tell me more. In a word, it is not an ordinary deity, but it is an insufficient vessel to be a true transcendent. It is definitely unusual to have three names. Gods name means divinity. Thebination of three gods means that they are that strong. But I dont think there will be so many gods just because there are a lot of divinities. thats correct. Gods name is a nickname that expresses Gods identity to the outside world. Originally, there cannot be three names. Thats normal. But the god of despair, fall and madness was not like that. In order for a deity to be formed, you must have unrivaled belief in that divinity. A belief is an opinion about how to think of divinity. Its simr. But the other thing is that you deeply believe in it. It is also very fanatical. Even with one Godhead, your mental strength reaches its limit, and some Godheads start to break down. ah. understood. Like the gods of battle, as she said, they were owners of broken minds. Should I say that it is not like a godlike and immature? If thats all because the mind has been damaged to some extent by the Divine, it makes sense. I nodded my head and listened to Baekhak Geomseons words. But having only one of these Shinmyeong can cause mental problems, so what if you have two of them? Its going to cause a major mental breakdown. thats right. As the number of gods increases, beliefs about various divinities arise. I cant handle it and my mind is breaking down. Of course, there are not that many cases where a deity with multiple deities is born. Nevertheless, a god of despair, fall, and madness was born. There was a high probability that the Tower was deeply involved in the birth of that monstrous deity. But the god of despair, fall, and madness multiplied the number of gods with the power of the tower. Its as Sungyoon guessed. But the results werent very good. I couldnt increase my Shinmyeong to more than three, and I couldnt gain power so transcendentpared to the cost. Is that why you were abandoned by the top? if you look at it, it will be like that. And after that, the fanaticism ran rampant in the tower and eventually became the towers enemy. Is that so. I kept my mouth shut for a while, wondering what question to ask Sung-yoon. I dont think I can give you more information now. A warning came from the tower. That worry became useless as the White Crane Swordsman was warned by the Tower. Then I cant help it. I knew most of the things I was curious about anyway. To be honest, I still have some questions left. Why does the tower wish to annihte the divine being, and does it really exist a way to transcend me? Several questions were running through my head. However, those questions will be apparent as soon as you climb the tower. As long as I dont stop paying attention. So Thank you for answering the question. Master. Then lets go. Now it was time to climb the tower for real. You have entered the waiting room on the 18th floor. Chapter 206 206. Dystopia (3) Do you want to take the 18th floor test? As soon as I returned to the waiting room, I decided to climb the tower. Because now there is nothing more to check. I checked all the rewards, and I managed to find out a lot of things I was curious about from the White Crane Geomseon. Now that the maintenance isplete, its time to increase your strength. God of despair, fall and madness. I had to elerate my growth to the point where I could stand up to that ancient deity. And the key to growth, as always, was in the tower. If I grow my abilities while climbing the tower, Ill be able to ept the divinity of the lightsaber system someday. Seomin Neungbeopgi (Wܷ). This holy relic obtained after meeting the lightsaber in the 17th floor ordeal had the ability to keep the sacred. And through this divine storage ability, the divine spirit of harmony, the divine light sword system, was dwelling inside the seomin magic technique. In the past, it was a power that I did not touch because it could ruin my mind After clearing the 18th floor, I might be able to absorb the power of the lightsaber. If it was now that he had greatly increased his strength through the giant treebyrinth event, acquiring a new divinity would be fine. If you acquire a new divinity, the number of power skills that can be imprinted on the < transcendence > divinity increases. Even the benefits gained from absorbing the divinity of the lightsaber were not just an increase in the number of powerful skills. Unnamed non-ss. This item obtained at the end of the 17th floor stage can also be used by absorbing the divinity of the lightsaber. So I had to focus on maximizing my strength and getting the Divinity of Harmony. The 18th floor ordeal can be said to be the cornerstone I have to do my best to clear it. From now on, you will have to put a lot of effort into trials. Entering the 18th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Difficulty The theme of the ordeal is Awareness. I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result at the end of the penance he/she chooses. This distorted and musty air stings the lungs. I slightly rolled my eyes and looked around, and I was standing on the roof of a barren old building. Perhaps because the building was old, I could feel the unpleasant airing into my lungs every time I breathed. Of course, it doesnt matter much because its a body that is far out of the category of the human species. It was not a very pleasant environment. In response, I stepped forward and began examining the view beyond the roof of the building. and. Start the 18th floor ordeal. Remaining time C 30 days Order breakthrough condition C save the world that was driven to the brink of destruction by the godhead within the remaining time Order failure condition C the death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time Trial Breakthrough Reward C Usurpers Leather Gloves (SS-) Trial Failure Penalty C Death . Then, looking at the scenery that came into my eyes, Iughed in amazement. What is this again It was justified. The 18th floor stage was very different from the stages of trials I had seen before. Amazing. It is different from other dimensions closer to the Middle Ages or the Ancient Orient. Would this be the case if there was a highly developed civilized world? What I could see beyond the roofs of the buildings were buildings that were tall enough to reach into the sky. Its exterior was equipped with modern sophistication and showed the size of arge city. It looked like abination of several cities, so it was reasonable. But that was just medicine. Signboards full of neon signs shing everywhere, and even a small airship floating in the air So I immediately remembered a word in the corner of my head. I never thought a world like this would exist. cyberpunk. The 18th floor stage was a dimension close to the near-future worldview of the modern earth. *** DIs it a highly developed world? It is a troublesome ce to proceed with trials. As I stood on the roof of the building and looked at the city for a while, the bloody demon sword rang out. Surprisingly, Dam Chun-wu was not taken aback. To him, I tilted my head and asked a question. Isnt that surprising? -very. Didnt I say that I was once a challenger too? Have you ever seen a simr world before? ah. DSome magic has seen a dimension that has developed through the enchantment of engineering. but Ive never heard of or seen such a world. DYou dont have to. The dimension developed by magic engineering was destroyed one day. No wonder you dont know at all. DI heard that it was not registered as an official climbing dimension, so it could not withstand the invasion of another dimension and perished as it was. At those words, I realized that the tower was not a very beneficial existence. Are you saying that a dimension that is not registered as an official climbing dimension is not worth protecting? Just as Namgoong-hyeok, the sword dragon of Changchun, appeared in Tokyo in the past, the world that Damcheonwu saw must have been destroyed by challengers from other dimensions. Its also very miserable. Of course, the Earth level has been registered as an official climbing level, so there is no need to worry about perishing like that now . It must mean that the Tower is obsessed with the obliteration of divine beings to that extent. Trying to nurture talented challengers without even caring about the destruction of the world. More than I imagined, the tower was obsessed with trying to grow challengers into transcendent people. I tried toplicate my thoughts, but I shook my head and shook my thoughts. Theres no point in thinking about it anyway. For now, clearing the trials on the 18th floor was the priority. DIt seems that the destruction of this world is not too far away. I listened to Tan Tianyus words and looked down at the city. Iknow, right. Looking at the state of the city, things dont look good. The big city filled with colorful lights was mostly damaged except for a few parts. At least it didnt look like it was destroyed by itself for the sake of redevelopment of the building. There was no reason to destroy the building separately, it was just that the building copsed somehow. In fact, when I strengthened my eyes with magical power and looked closely, there were traces of some kind of battle. It also proves that they fought fierce battles with each other. After staring at it for a while, I raised my head and looked up at the sky. They said the world was being destroyed by a godhead And then. I think I understand the situation now. I was able to find some gray orb floating in the sky. Having seen it so many times, it was possible to quickly recognize it. gray orb. That I have found the source of the godhead. It had the power close to that of the godhead itself. *** Currently I have a brief understanding of the situation. The system message that popped up upon entering the 18th floor stage said that this world was on the verge of being destroyed by a godhead. In fact, most of therge cities with cyberpunk-like backgrounds copsed due to unknown battles. In this situation, a gray orb floating in the sky, close to a godhead. Even if he wanted to know that the condition for clearing the 18th floor stage was to get rid of that gray sphere, he couldnt help but be unaware. Then another system message popped up. Conditions satisfied. Special task Savior begins. You have discovered the source from which the divine being was born. Until this ends, the source of the godhead will not be destroyed and will not stop growing. Stop the godhead that is trying to devour the whole world and save the world from the godhead. Additional settlement ising in. After roughly reading the system message, I briefly summarized the contents. In a nutshell, it means to get rid of it before the godhead finishes growing. The gray orb was the source of the godhead, so it was close to the godhead itself. Its probably because he entered the growth phase that he took on that form Unfortunately, the divinity could not be destroyed unless all the faith supplied to the source of the divinity waspletely cut off. It means that it is not an ordeal that can be eaten raw. Then it was decided what to do. Ill cut off all the supply and demand of faith that leads to the source of the divinity and deal with the divinity. The road presented on the 18th floor stage itself was not thatplicated. But the problem is the power of the godhead. They said it was the birth of a divinity In the [Labyrinth Temple] where numerous gods gathered, I definitely felt the power of a divinity. To the point where I could feel the reason why the Godheads mocked me as a mortal. Godhead was an existence that transcended providence. Currently, although I can deal with the incarnation of the godhead, I dont have the strength to deal with the main body. Therefore, before the source of the godhead waspleted, the supply and demand of faith had to be cut off and the growth stopped. . After thinking about it for a while, I jumped down the building. And Strongly activates the authority skill Steel Wings Chow ah! He immediately spread his steel wings and quickly headed towards the street where the light did not leak. To the ce where traces of unknown battles remain. DAre you not collecting information in the city? There is not a lot of time, so there is a way to get information. There is no need to gather information from the city, is it? DWhat is that? Its not that densely popted, considering that the city itself has mostly copsed. Due to the tremendous increase in stats, it was now possible to detect it without having to wear magical powers. And that too over a fairly wide range. What I found out through this was that the poption density in the city was not veryrge. People were even living where the buildings copsed. There are many people alive even on streets without lights. What that meant was simple. So it may be impossible to get to the center of the city. Right now, the city is in lockdown. DWhat does the people living in the copsed ce have to do with the impossibility of going to the center of the city? Its simple. Having so many people on the copsed streets is a blockade of the city. Its like a tail-cutting concept. -no way! Did you find out now? Even though many people lost their ces to live due to the battle, there is not much poption density in the city. I could see what the situation was in that the number of people was not epted to the maximum, but the right amount was maintained. They threw people away like cutting out the rotten parts of a fruit. DYoure crazy. What do you think about human life? A lot of people will die because of this. Thats it, I dont know. But there must be a reason why many people will not ept it even if they die. DBut still, if its you, you can enter the center of the city, right? There is no reason to follow the citys lockdown guidelines. However, there is no way that smooth information collection is possible in a ce where outside inflow is blocked. The system told me that this world was on the brink of destruction by the godhead. That means that the copse of the city due to this battle is also the fault of the Goddess It couldnt be easy to find out what the battle this God caused was in the sealed city. If it is a ce that has thoroughly blocked the inflow of the outside, there must be a lot of information that is being missed. It would be more urate to hear from the locals about what happened to the site of the copse. After saying that, I made the steel wings disappear. Boss skill Steel Wings is deactivated. Attached. Landing on the ground and looking around, the situation was worse than observed from a distance. Serious is serious. As a rule of thumb, I came to a ce where people seemed to be. It made me wonder if any of them were really alive. All that remains of this ce are the remains of buildings and an unknown number of broken machines. Relying on bodily sensations to count people was now unreasonable. Even though his ability level is high, I still cant detect it as finely as I can. As a rule of thumb, you can know where a lot of people will be, but it wasnt a level to tell exactly where they were. It cant be helped. It was the moment to activate the senses and expand the sensing area. snap. I turned my head at the sudden sound of wet footsteps, and three people caught my eye. Among them, a woman with a prosthetic arm attached to her left arm stepped forward and pointed a dagger at me. Hey there. you. When you say nice things, give everything you have and go away. I blinked for a moment at the nervous voice, then asked again in bewilderment. me? However, the question was colorless, and the woman confidently said with a fishy smile. under! So, who else is here besides you? Arent you stupid? Give everything you have and get out of here! After she said that, her left hand, which was not holding the dagger, suddenly started a fire. Fire! Even if you look at it like this, Im the owner of a manifestation-type psychic power! I know how to look bad if I do useless things! Iughed out loud at that, and within a short time, magic power wrapped around my body like an aura. Expression type psychic powers? and. Go go go go! At the same time as magic power rose from my body like mist, I continued. Are you talking about this? Chapter 207 207. Dystopia (4) Psychic. This was a nickname for a skill that was once called before the concepts of Awakener and Hunter were properly established. Of course, as time passed, the system became known, and the names of the old generation, such as superpowers, disappeared but somehow this world didnt seem to be like that. thats interesting. Is the me in the hand of the woman in front of me a supernatural power in the true sense of the word without a system? Ive never seen a power like superpowers before, so I was unexpectedly interested. I cant believe that such a highly developed civilization has supernatural powers. The corner of his mouth went up at the thought that he might be able to gain new strength. If I activate skill extraction with Necromancy, I wonder if I can get superpowers too. But that was only for a moment. I cant believe that there are still people with this level of manifestation-type abilities The woman with a me in her hand snarled with a shocked face. It wasnt like a normal person, but a person with the powers of the Paranormal Union. A look of hatred crept up on her face. Its a portrait union. I dont know why, but they probably think I belong to a certain group . Paaang! In the blink of an eye, the mes swelled wildly and rushed in, but The skill Endless Spell Devour is activated. All spells that touch the body are converted into pure magical power. Thanks to my ability, I didnt take any damage. no. It wasnt that he didnt take any damage, but rather his magic power increased. Are psychic powers treated as a type of spell? I thought Infinite Spells only responded to magic-rted powers, but it seemed to have a wide range of uses. This is good. As I was feeling satisfied, the two people behind me jumped out. The two skinny men unleashed a concerted attack with poisonous expressions without saying a word. In a state where I even lived with me. But Did you say it was a superpower? Doesnt sound like such a good ability. Both of them are at a level where their physical abilities have just entered the superhuman level. If I had to question it, it should be said that I was in a physical condition close to when I just entered the 4th floor of the tower. I didnt feel the need to procrastinate the fight now because there was nothing more interesting. I lightly waved my hand right away at the two people who were rushing at me and mmed them down to the floor with moderate force. Kwaaang! Correo! Cuckold! Cant breathe Quaaaaaagh! Huh waist! Its harder to control your strength than you think. I had no intention of breaking a bone, but somehow I overpowered it violently. Ill have to control my strength more carefully next time. As I was reflecting on myself, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hummed and I heard a voice. DThats not good. Not only his strength, but also his skills are below the level. What a changeable people. Damcheonwu continued speaking with feelings close to contempt as if he was pitiful. DIt would have been more interesting if we had fought by relying on advanced civilization technology. It was then. Knock! As if responding to Dam Chun-wus words, the woman stretched out her prosthetic hand and let out a furious sound. shit! Throw it away as it is, you damn bastard! and. Whoa-! At the same time, a small hole opened in the center of the mechanical palm, and light gathered. Its also very intense. -oh. at least this is better You finally brought out something interesting. The light gathered in the muzzle-like hole soon became a single sh and was quickly fired. To be honest, I was a little surprised. It was worth it. I never thought something like this would exist. Even with a body that transcends a human, thisser can miss its movement for a moment. Of course, if you use the skill, you wont miss the movement I didnt feel the need to do that. Its enough to just roughly predict the path and hit it with your hands. Actually Teeing! When I put the back of my hand on theser beam path, it bounced helplessly. Of course, the skin on the back of my hand was a little scuffed from theser, but it wasnt too much to worry about. Chiyi! The skill Ashen Blood is activated.] Most of the wounds disappear in less than a second anyway. As I swiped the blood off the back of my hand, I heard a thin voice. Is that a lie? Clink. She lost sight of the dagger in her right hand and stared at me trembling. You crazy monster that said it was aser cutting machine that could cut through even a tolerable person with enhanced abilities Even that waspletely swallowed up in despair. The skill Absolute Charm is activated. The psychic Katia falls into [Fear], an abnormal state. The abnormal [Fear] causes her judgment to deteriorate and she is highly aware of your existence. Previous She even sat down on the floor while activating the skills she had obtained. Do not worry. Seeing that, I smiled. If you will cooperate with me, I will try to live. Now that the other side seems to be in a position to talk Isnt that a good deal? Now is the time to achieve what you want. Aplishment Existence of Fear has been achieved. All stats increase by 1. *** Time flies. After sorting out the situation to some extent, I sat down on the ground of a roughly copsed building and looked at Katia. Except for her, there was no one left to gather information. It was worth it. Originally, I was going to suppress it lightly, but since I broke the bone, there was no way I could proceed with a proper Q&A. Reluctantly, I spoke to Katia. You said you were Katya. yes yes. The rtionship isnt very good, so lets get straight to the point. Thats right Maybe its because he broke his spirit in a battle once, so there was little bacsh. I nodded in satisfaction and asked her a question. The first thing I asked was about supernatural powers. Tell me about the criteria for the expression of superpowers and the system. During the battle, Katia mentioned superpowers such as manifestations and enhancements. In other words. The superpowers that exist in this world have a clear standard to divide the lineage. When Katia was asked about this, she rolled her eyes as if she couldnt understand the meaning. Can I know if there is any other intention behind the question It was reasonable. He must have felt a sense of difference because he asked me to exin knowledge that is epted asmon sense in this world. But I had no other intentions. Im asking because I really want to know about psychic powers. I do this because I dont really know anything about the psychic powers that exist in this world. Katia tilted her head as if puzzled, but answered immediately. Psychic powers are powers that manifest randomly around the age of seven. There is no such thing as a standard for manifestation, and the awakening of superpowers is determined simply by luck. Surprisingly, there was no special standard for the manifestation of superpowers. Is it a simr concept to awakening? Its a method that relies purely on luck like the Awakener who blooms the system Except for the fact that most of them awaken their abilities around the age of 7, there was no big difference. Psychic powers are ssified into 4 systems ording to the type of power: reinforcement, expression, transformation, and construction. You seem to know what an enhancement system and an expression system are, but what about a transformation system and a construction system? the strain system and the construct system are systems that deform the body and build external forces. Its not thatplicated. Katia asked cautiously as she felt satisfied by solving her curiosity. Excuse me, but didnt you receivepulsory education about psychic powers? Thats right. Ah yes. Once you understand, lets move on. Suddenly, Katias gaze at me seems to have changed a little. I didnt have to go throughpulsory education, but I didnt want to convince them that I didnt know about psychic powers. Moving on to the next one, I immediately asked the most curious question. Do you know anything about the gray orb floating in the sky? About the source from which the Godhead is to be born. and. yes. I know. Its like some kind of terrorism device built by the Paranormal Union. An unexpected answer came back. The Paranormal Alliance is a terrorist device I said with a deep smile. Tell me more about that too. It seemed that the clear strands of the 18th floor ordeal were being caught, albeit faintly. *** Paranormal Association. ording to Katia, this group is a group that insists that supernatural powers rule the world. Its strange that superpowers are suppressed by highly developed technology. All superpowers should be awakened. He is said to have argued so. Originally, the Portrait Alliance was not very influential and was perceived as a group of losers who were driven out of society . The new leader of the Paranormal Alliance has appeared. usurper. It also has the ability to take away the psychic powers of others. Perceptions have changed with the appearance of a person with the ability to take away the psychic powers of others. It was worth it. Its nothing else, its an existence that can rob others abilities The perception couldnt help but change. But at first, I didnt think too much of it, even though I was wary of the leader of the Paranormal Alliance. ? It is. One of the radar cutters cuts the torso of a person with enhanced abilities. Superpowers cant be that important in this world. ah. The psychic in this world was a being that was behind even things likeser cutters. So, he must have thought that all he had to do was rely on advanced technology to deal with the usurper. Contrary to what I thought, however, the situation became serious. Just like right now. The paranormal association caused terrorism throughout the city. With that, she raised her hand and pointed at the gray orb floating in the air. After the gray orb appeared, most of the machinery in the destroyed area suddenly stopped working. Most of the machinery is dead? very literally, most of the machinery has been broken since the gray spheres came into being. Then theser shot from that prosthetic arm It was aser that was modified with supernatural powers, but only a few devices that were modified with supernatural powers were intact. I thought with my mouth shut. I think I know roughly what the situation is like on the 18th floor stage. Even though the terror was caused by the Paranormal Alliance, the technology that had been built up until now could not be used. I knew what was going to happen then, without having to listen. Presumably, most of therge cities were destroyed by the Paranormal Union, and only a few surviving areas would have defended the area from the Paranormal Union. For some reason, the refugees are not even epted, and the situation has reached its worst. DIn a word, its a tragedy caused by massive disregard for psychic powers. Dam Chun-wuughed at him, and Katia immediately continued. The areas destroyed by the Paranormal Alliance are not functioning at all. Thats why we did robbery. Theres no way to live. Why dont we ept refugees from other regions? They say that the Paranormal Alliance can sneak in, but its probably because most of the affected areas are close to slums. . Most of the big cities are close to slums Is this a dystopia? It didnt feel too good, so I immediately changed my mind and kept my mouth shut. Now I have a sense of what the hidden setting of the 18th floor stage is. Is the viin, the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, trying to be a god? Originally, faith is created by worshiping those who have power. The leader of the Paranormal Alliance is worshiped for this and tries to be a god. Because if you cause terror and get fear, thats also a kind of faith. I dont know if the leader of the Paranormal Alliance was aiming for this, but I dont know. In addition, the reason why the world is getting closer and closer to destruction so fast that it cant get out of hand. And at the same time, I was able to figure out the solution. Then, in the end, we have to end the Paranormal Association and cut off the supply and demand of faith. The people in this city should change the object of worship to me. Perhaps the reason why the tower gave a special task called Savior is to use this as an opportunity to grow. I then frowned. I even knew the solution of changing the object of worship to me from the leader of the Paranormal Alliance. There were still many issues with this. I dont know where the Paranormal Union is. Even if you want to change the object of worship to me, I cante up with a very efficient way. Really, I couldnt help but rot my head. Is it inevitable that I have to collect more annoying information? It was then. The authority skill Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Luck temporarily and violently increases. I tilted my head at the message that came to my mind when I was deep in my thoughts. What is this again? It was worth it. Because the warriors protection is a power that is activated only when skill synthesis is performed. I didnt understand why luck would suddenly increase when its not currently used. I dont know why this power was activated. But that was only for a moment. The exclusive skill book (SSS+) has finished analyzing the character of challenger Sungyoon Han. ordingly, a skill suitable for the character of Sungyoon Han is created. It was only when I saw the message that popped up that I realized it. Come to think of it, I bought a dedicated skill book in the giant treebyrinth. It was a perk that Ipletely forgot after I bought it at that time Creates a dedicated skill, Steal Faith (SS+) I lose. I finally understood why the warriors protection had been activated. Is this the power of luck? The power to forcibly rob the faith dedicated to another deity This is what happens. At that, I smiled and thought. Youre lucky. The world says luck is everything. Chapter 208 208. Faith (1) Robbery of faith. I immediately activated the newly created exclusive skill while looking at the gray orb floating in the sky. The exclusive skill stealing faith is activated. And Ah. It was felt. The divine power umted inside the body is harvesting new faith. Unlike when building faith indirectly, the flow of faith is clearly caught in the senses. It was a skill I activated without thinking too much about it but its effectiveness was indescribable. Is this faith It was different from when I gathered the emotions of the people around me as a consumption resource to use in creating a myth through the Faith Harvest Power. I didnt feel anything from the faith I had gathered through the Faith Harvest Power before. As I was robbing the faith that flows to the source of the godhead, I felt the divine power in my heart fluctuate ording to my faith. very violently too. I can feel the emotion. It was clearly revealed which emotions flowed as faith. Fear, awe, anger, denial, sadness, etc Most of the terrible emotions gathered like a whirlwind and settled in my heart. It didnt feel too good. To think that so many faiths are gathered based on the suffering of so many people. It was an unpleasant phenomenon indeed. Even though I valued efficiency, I didnt want to be stronger by suffering innocent people. But the gray orb floating in the sky was different. The source of Godhead in this world was approaching the ce of Godhead through everyones suffering. I have to rob the faith as quickly as possible to deal with the source of the godhead. It was the moment when he quietly narrowed his eyes and raised his murderous intent. The exclusive skill, Stealing Faith, is disabled due to interruption by an external factor. Suddenly, the supply of faith flowing into the heart stopped as if a tight thread was being cut. The cause could be read from the short phrase that popped up in the system message. Interference by external factors. Without thinking too deeply, it was the work of the gray sphere, the source of godhood. It was a natural guess, since only the gray orb had the power to stop the usurpation of the faith. . After touching my chin for a while, I tried to steal my faith several times. Tring Tring Tring Tring! However, the robbery of faith was repeated several times, and the use of the skill was canceled in less than a second. Because of that, I couldnt gather faith steadily like before. Perhaps this way, the supply of faith wont be cut off until the remaining time on the 18th floor is exhausted. Realizing that it was pointless, I stopped using Faith Heist. However, there were also facts that could be known from this. Is it a special case that prevented the robbery of faith? The gray orb was not blocking the usurpation of faith with divinity or authority. It is to increase the density by unifying the flow of faith into one so that it does not slip out of the side road. Previously, there were hundreds of weak streams of faith, so if you took one of them, this would be different. The supply of faith is greater than expected. After the streams of faith that had crossed the spirits were merged into one passage. Because of the cohesive power of faith that has grown stronger, it has be impossible to use Divinity Steal. This is a phenomenon that urred when all the faith gathered from all over the world was driven into one passage. There are too many beliefs in one stream, so I cant break through the cohesion of beliefs attached to each other. The solution was clear. That is to reduce the amount of Faith flowing into the Gray Sphere from all over the world. that could be said to be correct. And I also learned what to do through it. Its important to dismantle the Paranormal Union. The Paranormal Alliance, a terrorist group with a prospective deity as its leader, had to bepletely eliminated and people had to be given hope, not pain. As I put all my thoughts together, I heard a voice. Im sorry, but can we just go? It was Katya who was caught by me while robbing. She nced at her injuredrades and asked the question as carefully as possible. Its not an issue to worry about. Now that they had asked a certain amount of questions, they were determined to save them as they said. Do it yourself. At those words, Katia stuttered as if she didnt know that he would really save her life, and expressed her thanks. Oh thank you! However, Dam Chun-wu said in a tone that he did not like that. DShouldnt it be better not to do something that leaves an aftereffect? You dont know where theyre going to open their mouths. At that, I smiled. Thats why I saved him. -what? Wherever you talk about me, a terrorist group called the Paranormal Coalition might find me. -her. Its a waste not to be able to have the Commander, but seeing the level anyway, the Commander isnt worth much, so its better to let go. DOne piece of fishing is astonishing. Because thats one of my specialties. After that, it was time for me to leave my seat and try to explore the Paranormal Union. Come to think of it, it bothered me that I didnt ask Katia and the others in detail about the Paranormal Union. Of course, I dont think many people who do robbery on the street like this know about it. Still, with a regretful heart, I called Katia and the others who were trying to leave, supporting each other. I have one more question for you before we part, Ms. Akatia. ? Do you know where the Paranormal Union is? A super-paranormal association? yes. Rumors dont matter. Please tell me only what you can guess. Uh. I know of a broker that connects with the Paranormal Alliance ? I tilted my head at him and then asked again. broker? yes. But why do you ask that all of a sudden Then, only Katia-san is here. yes? Watching Katias face turn white, I smiled. It was worth it. Mr. Katia would like me to connect you to that broker. I never thought I would meet a local restaurant (?) guide at a ce like this. I think you should go with me for a while. It seemed that the schedule for the 18th floor trials would be significantly shortened. *** Now its an office in a building thats not much left on the street. After the blue-haired man sat down in an office chair. Looking out the window at the grayndscape stained with traces of destruction, he smiled. Ah he muttered in a voice full of ecstasy as he looked at the copsed buildings with hazy eyes. Its really cool. Rabelkan Starr. One of the officers of the Paranormal Union, he was the manager and broker in charge of the 17th district of therge city of Silidin. His role was really simple. It is his role to ensure that the civilians of Sector 17 in Silidin do not forget their fears. His job in District 17, where even food was not properly supplied, was simple. Encouraging each other to loot what they have as brokers, and exchanging the goods obtained through loot for food. By doing so, his main purpose was to make people fear each other and to recognize the Paranormal Union as the ruler. Rabelkan took great pleasure in this. Like plundering and terrorizing each other for just one food. Until a few months ago, District 17 of Silidin belonged to the wealthy ss. There were no worries about food, a lot of interest in luxury, and many people who had power in politics and business. But not anymore. What was left of District 17 of Silidin was not the upper ss pretending to be ssy, but the murderous demons who did not hesitate to kill for a piece of bread. That disastrous downfall made Rabelkan very happy. Ah. Really, as him said, the world has really improved Rabel Khan, a psychic born in a slum, thought it was fortunate that the world had turned this way. Unless highly developed civilizations have disappeared. He would have been treated on a par with junk like an illegally modifiedser cutter. Rabel Khan drank the wine from the ss on the table andughed. Kuh. As He said. The strong had to be above the weak. The usurper, who is called the leader of the Paranormal Union, made ims to the members of the Paranormal Union. This is an era of ignorance that lowers the value of humans, the value of supernatural powers, and the value of the strong. This world, where only machines are more important than human life, is wrong. Its strange that inferior ordinary people who dont even have psychic powers dont treat psychic people better than machines. So, the psychics must unite and erase all the machines in the world and return the world to its original state once. You were really right. The leader of the Paranormal Alliance, The Usurper, was a transcendental person who obtained numerous superpowers. He disabled all machines in many areas of Silidin. Machines that do not reach superpowers are impossible to use at all. Of course, some areas are maintaining their original state due to theck of power of the Ustorer. The big city of Silidin, as well as all the machines in the world, will disappear. Rabel Khan did not doubt that even that would soon be neutralized. He will be like that. On the day the gray sphere ispleted, he will return as the god of the new world. Because the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, the Ustorer, said he would return as a god. If anyone else had heard this, they would have said it was funny but none of the members of the Paranormal Alliance doubted this in the slightest. This is because now the Usurper ispletely out of human standards. His almost omnipotent power gave everyone faith that it wouldnt be strange even if he became a god. It was the same with Rabelkan. Please look forward to the day when the extortioner returns, and he just fulfills his role. I look forward to it. The day when the world will return to its original state. Then it will be a more beautiful world than this. It was when Rabelkan was sipping wine in rapture. Kwaaang! uh? Suddenly, the door to the office was smashed and someone elses voice resounded in the office. They said he was a broker of the Paranormal Association. The level of security is not that high. At that, Rabelkan raised his head and looked at the source of the voice he heard from the front. and. Say the word and go! What should I do if I destroy the brokers office like this! This is what I have in mind. And I dont like guides talking too much. Uh hmm. sorry. Ill just be quiet. Thats a good idea. You dont have to tell me. Rabel Khan caught sight of a young man wearing a tailcoat and equipped with twin swords entering the office. There was a woman behind it, but judging from the conversation, it didnt seem to matter anyway. Im going to talk to this broker from now on anyway. At that, Rabel Khan blinked for a moment, then crumpled his face and showed a murderous intent. What are you? However, he calmly endured Rabel Khans death and answered without hesitation. A person with a great interest in the Paranormal Union. under. Its been a long time since Ive seen a crazy guy. An ominous red light shone in Rabelkans eyes. He looks like a psychopath addicted to ying heroesUnlikeics, there are no such things as heroes in reality. He stood up from his office chair and looked at the young man in a pitiful way, sping his hands tightly. Ill end my hero y here today. After those words, Rabel Khans fingertips turned ck and his entire body was grotesquely twisted. Magicalization. Transformation-type psychic powers that led Rabel Khan, who was just a slum born from the ruling ss, to be an executive of the Paranormal Alliance. As it was activated, ck horns sprouted from Rabel Khans head, and a beast-like ck tail grew from his waist. I will make you a sacrifice to Him. Rabelkan said that with his eyes glistening like those of a reptile. The physique and energy that grew in the blink of an eye were unusual. Could it be that among the psychic powers there is also the ability to turn into a demon? However, the power of Rabel Khan, who is promoted as the highest level of superpowers in the transformation world Its amazing, but The next moment. Wow!! The skill Manmaji Kingfħ֮ is activated. Thats useless to me. It was suppressed by the demon kings power flowing from Han Seong-yoons body and was terribly crushed. Chapter 209 209. Faith (2) Exclusive authority #K-1547[Information ess] is activated. In the blink of an eye, I activated the authority to view information while watching the blue-haired man grow up. Ravulkan Starr One of the 12 executives of the Paranormal Alliance, who possesses supernatural powers in the transformation world. The body can be transformed with demon beasts, and during transformation, she uses demonic energy. I am in a state of astonishment. Not much information was revealed. All that was revealed in the system message was the name Rabel Khan and a brief outline of his affiliation and abilities. As a bonus, there is also a message that doesnt matter whether or not you are in a state of astonishment. This also didnt matter. That would be the case too This crazy!? It was because the emotion of astonishment was read right from the face of Ravulkan Starr. It seems that he is being forcibly awed by King Manmaji It was not interesting because he had already seen many reactions in the giant treebyrinth. I thought reading information would be a little different, but it wasnt. At least, the fact that a broker named Rabulkan Starr is one of the 12 executives of the Paranormal Alliance is an ie. But other than that, it was irrelevant information that could be neatly ignored. I immediately put the system messages away. It was then. No, its amazing. I never thought there would be someone with this level of power among manifestation-type psychics. I salute you. Rabelkan forced a smile and put the candy coating in his mouth. Are you thinking of joining the Paranormal Union? Hes too precious to be an enemy! I dont have one. Those with superhuman powers must stand at the top. Dont you think so? The Paranormal Coalition is trying to set this era right! ? At that, I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes. A power that surpasses humans? It was worth it. A guy like you? Rabelkan Starr. The blue-haired man must surely belong to the strong in this world. However, that power was only at the level of the 10th floor of the difficulty level if you were topare it to a tower challenger. Its also very weak. However, I was dumbfounded to see him talking about how he had surpassed humans. Should I say that its like a hamster looking at a cat and saying that he is a being that transcends animals? At that, Iughed and Rabelkan narrowed his eyes. okay. you are definitely strong feel it What a wonderful talent he was born with. Its not something youre born with, its something you get by chance. Do not lie. You must be a genius among geniuses. Otherwise, there is no way you can give me a tremble. But that makes it all the more difficult to understand. You are not a prey, but a predator. Why are you defending the weak? I believe what I want to believe. I looked at Rabel Khans reptile-like Iljagong and said with clear strength. There is nothing like you. He only told the truth calmly, but Rabel Khan shuddered like a convulsion. Its like hearing a huge insult. what? Didnt you say that the Paranormal Union wanted to correct the times? Yes. This age is wrong. To subdue the strong with mere machines. The weak are cowards. We have to fix this world. That is proof that you and you are nothing. I continued speaking in an annoyed tone. A psychic who is defeated byser cutters. There cant be such a meaningless strong man. different! This era is wrong! In the past, this paranormal ability would surely have created a world for the strong! okay? Even He, the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, said it! Its not us thats wrong, its the damn world! Indeed, He changed the world! The gray orb floating in the sky is proof that this world is wrong! look! What happened to the weak without machines! Now, those without superpowers are just prey! Did you think so? I didnt even feel the need to open my mouth anymore. Then prove it. and. The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated. If you avoid my attack even once, I will acknowledge your words. I lightly kicked the floor and let out a fishy sneer. Of course I dont know if I can make it. *** Achievement Master of Mock has been achieved. Durability increases by 1. Quaaang! Rabel Khans fist, which had been stained ck by demons, broke the building and bent back and forth. It was not a very modest move. It was just such a rush of power that it destroyed everything around it as it was. It was worth it. Because Rabel Khan was very angry at what I said. The strong must stand above the weak! And I and we! You are the absolute predator of this world! bang! bang! bang! Powerful punches that cause destruction fill the air, but Im me! no we we are! Youre not wrong! He said so too! Among them, not a single attack reached me, and only the sound of desperate cries lingered in my ears. The usurper will open a new age of supernatural powers and return the world to its original state! At the sound that resembled crying, Damcheonwu clicked his tongue and said. DNo way. I dont think its because of theck of superpowers that are inferior to machines. This is ugly beyond imagination. I agree. DThe guy called him is probably the source of the godhead. Except for the source of the divinity of He, nothing would remain. Perhaps the Paranormal Union isnt that high. Thought. It wasnt meaningless provoking the opponent during the battle. He excited Rabel Khan and even made him say things he shouldnt have said. There were things I learned through it. The leader of the Paranormal Association, which is the source of divinity, is a great instigator. usurper. Presumably, the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, considered the strongest in the world, was good at agitation. In fact, he should be able to destroy humanity with or without the Paranormal Alliance. Nevertheless, creating a terrorist group called the Paranormal Coalition and coaxing psychics to open a new era or what not to say It must be to use the Paranormal Coalition as a faith supply device. If there are supernatural powers acting like fanatics like this, it will be easier to get faith. The usurper is probably inside the gray orb. While the source of divinity is beingpleted, he will have to receive faith in it without moving. It was designed so that there would be no disruption to the supply of faith through a terrorist group called the Paranormal Alliance. It was fun. Its meticulous. I was interested in the way I grew up that I hadnt even thought of. But that was only about the usurper. Ravulkan Star was not like that. You are definitely at the level of nothing. AA AA AA! shut up! Shut up! this! Now I have obtained most of the information that can be obtained with excitement. The skill Focus on Strike is activated. After activating a small skill I roughly learned in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, I kicked Rabel Khan with my instep. Kwadde! Cer coo au billion! The magic that was wrapped around his body was absorbed into me by the Manmaji King and because of that, Rabel Khan had to be hit with a kick that ovepped with momentary eleration and focus on one strike. The results were stronger than expected. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam! DTsk tsk. Have you failed to control your power again? He could have really died that way. Rabelkan broke through the wall of the office and was buried in the broken asphalt road beneath the building. However, as I focused my senses, I soon realized that his breath was still attached. But fortunately, he didnt die It was difficult to die like this, since there must still be information that can be gleaned through torture. I immediately turned to him and tried to go downstairs, but Katia was hesitant with her eyes raised. What the hell is this to beat a member of the Super Paranormal Alliance she asked me in a voice full of astonishment, in disbelief. Could it be that you are a secret agent directly under the government? Or like a secret weapon from another country? To that, I roughly answered. Neither of them. Then, could it be that he is the younger brother of the leader of the Paranormal Alliance? If thats the case, then you can understand the tremendous hardship! Dont think useless and go down. At those words, Katia immediately shut her mouth, and I immediately went down to the ce where Rabel Khan was. Ah ah such nonsense He squirmed blood from his mouth and wriggled like an earthworm. Before he knew it, the body that exuded a demon-like aura disappeared, and Rabel Khan regained his original form. There was no impression. I immediately grabbed him by the hair and lifted him up. Kwaaaak. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapanies The location of the Paranormal Union headquarters. A child like a dog. do you think i will say I have pride too! The position of an executive of the Paranormal Alliance. dont say nonsense and kill the Lord. Never say no. Purpose of the Paranormal Association and Details of Activities. Useless. Youll have to remember everything I just said. Kwaaang! The skill Pain Amplification is activated. I asked again after hitting Rabel Khans head on the floor once more. Tell me all three. Go away Kwaaang! The skill Torture Skill is activated. At this point, you will change your mind. Any pain you receive while the skill is active will be greatly amplified and felt. The mastery of the skill Amplify Pain (D) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Amplify Pain (D) has increased by one level. The mastery of the skill Torture Skill (D) has increased by 100. Reached the %. The level of the skill Torture Skill (D) will go up by one level. Maybe its because theyre skills that have managed to raise their proficiency before, so both skill ranks have risen. Other than that, the proficiency of minor skills rose, but I ignored the message altogether. and asked again. Tell me all three. Dont hate it. Wait a minute! In fact, Rabel Khan immediately changed his stance and hurriedly spoke to me. The Super Paranormal Alliance headquarters is in the basement of the ughterhouse in District 4! The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects lies in the opponents words. You lie without spitting. What Lets start over. Its in the basement of the Leonensle Food Factory in District 7! The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects that there is no lie in the opponents words. Is it real this time? Yeah! I dont know where he and the Super Paranormal Alliance executives are! The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects that there is no lie in the opponents words. This is also true. Ha, but I know what I was ordered to do. He has entrusted the destroyed districts to the Paranormal Coalition officers. The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects that there is no lie in the opponents words. And? perhaps blocking and monopolizing the movement of goods like food, filling uncivilized areas with madness. The skill Fire Dragons Eye sees through that there is no lie in the opponents words. . I dont know either, but Ive been like that until now, so it wont be any different. So, kill me without pain. The skill Fire Dragons Eye sees through that there is no lie in the opponents words. Thats right. Now that all the information has been obtained, Rabel Khans usefulness has been exhausted. So now its time to wrap up and find out what you were trying to find out. Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is activated. Applies the effect of < Causal Reversal > to challenger Han Seong-yoon. Challenger Han Seong-yoon has the effect of < Divinity Ascension >. Each time you win against a divine power, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases. Each time you repeat victory, your ascension gets closer. Therefore, special rewards are sometimes given when divinity rises. Aang! Absorbed themand of the psychic, Ravulkan Starr. Proficiency increases by 0.011%. As soon as Rablekhan met his end, themand was absorbed and his divine power slightly increased. But thats not whats important. -This? As soon as he defeated Rabel Khan, the concentration of divinity in his body increased. Its not that great, but the concentration of divinity is the level of divinity. This leads to the strengthening of divine authority and the elevation of rank. DHave you seen such a crazy myth! Even after defeating such a small group, the level of divinity rises? Its definitely an amazing effect. But DWhat is this? The true value of Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > was elsewhere. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory brings her 0.0001% closer to ascension. Rise of Divinity. DIs this crazy? Now I know what the ascension of this effect attached to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > means. [Is it like this? Its an interesting power. ] Divine Power and Divine Operation. You cant do anything, but now, if you want to, your voice will contain divinity. Even without being deified. [I thought it would be possible to endlessly increase the rank of God just by winning.] Ascension. This was a power that had the potential to grow into a true transcendent person. Chapter 210 210. Faith (3) DThis cant possibly happen. no. Its a force that shouldnt exist in the first ce. Dam Chun-wus voice trembled violently. -hot! Ascension? What is this? Its not even an authority! Are you trying to lead mere mortals to perfect divinity, albeit clumsily! The emotions contained in those words were innumerable. Jealousy, regret, anger, surprise, expectation, hope, pleasure, etc Dam Chun-wu was showing the maximum amount of emotion that he had never shown before. DIf I had this, I could ovee despair, fall, and even the god of madness But I cut it off before the words continued. Its too early to judge. I didnt want to put divinity in my words, so I just said it calmly. Its not that powerful. till now. Well have to keep an eye on it. -no. This level is enough to know. Ascension is a monstrous power. It is. DProbably, the efficiency of ascending ascension will also vary depending on the level of the winning opponent. I can say that there are enough possibilities. That was something I noticed to some extent. All of my growth abilities have different growth efficiency depending on the opponents level, so ascension must be simr. Of course, the probability that it is not is also not small. Conversely, if Ascension is activated with the same efficiency no matter who wins, wouldnt that be more of a problem? Therefore, the growth efficiency of Ascension will definitely change depending on the opponent. And the opponent to find out the growth efficiency of Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > was set. The usurper. We will defeat the mightiest of this world within the source of divinity and find out how powerful Ascension is. Imagining that time, I drew an arc line around my mouth. Im looking forward to it. Soon after, I got up from my seat and turned my head to see Katia sitting down and looking at me. What the hell is this The emotion in her eyes was confusion and awe. Even in the midst of feeling fear, he must have felt envy for having wiped out the Paranormal Alliance with overwhelming force. Its not strange. Because the Paranormal Alliance is the cause that turned civilians like Katia into robbers. If it wasnt for the Paranormal Alliance, people like Katia wouldnt have lived like robbers. Seeing the victory against Rabel Khan and hearing the divine voice made him awestruck. Of course, I had no intention of defending her who had lived as a robber. This was true of everyone else living in this district. Each of them made the right choice for their situation. Seriously, are you a savior? At that, Iughed and said. Then Katia-san is the robber who asked the savior to give everything she had. . I am not a savior. Just like you did robbery to survive. I also oppose the Paranormal Union for the same reason. I see There was no reason to lie. There was only one Katya to gain faith, so I didnt want to make a lot of noise. Instead, I chose a more efficient method and soon spoke an ufortable truth. You didnt kill Rabel Khan, the broker of the Paranormal Association, but you tried to kill me. Thats Ah. I know. The Broker provided food for this area, so he couldnt be killed. In addition, I thought that it would be okay to cover up the murder after killing me, who misunderstood me as a paranormal association without the knowledge of the broker, Rabel Khan. Im sorry What kind of salvation is there in this world? After saying that, I quietly opened my inventory. Its not like salvation, its just a different situation for each individual. and. Therefore, this is not like salvation, but I am offering it for my own purpose. to doo doo. Soon I dropped most of the food in my inventory on the floor. Catias eyes widened when she saw that. uh? Give this to people. Can I be like me? yes. I am the robber who threatened you, can I just leave you like this? It doesnt matter. If you have the confidence to take care of yourself, you dont have to follow my words. . In a world that is nearing destruction, such powerful words wille to you. Whether Katya likes it or not, she will have to distribute this food to others. Oh, and Katia-san and her party can also have some food. Is that okay? Because that was what I was thinking in the first ce. But there are conditions. ? From now on, whenever you sow this food, say thank you to Han Seong-yoon. This is not a very promising n. Just as a usurper receives faith through a supernatural union, I am also preparing a device to gain faith I dont think that a great deal of faith wille in just by scattering some food. only. If the number of people suffering from food decreases, the faith that goes to the source of divinity will also decrease. It is only doing this to slow the growth of a formidable enemy, the usurper. Han Seong-yoon. Thats your name. Katia thought over the words as if possessed by something, then nodded her head. All right. I will risk my life to distribute food. Just leave it to me. with eyes filled with iprehensible sincerity without knowing why. Please. At that, I roughly turned my back on Katia and started moving quickly. I heard that the Paranormal Unions headquarters is in the basement of the Leonensle Food Factory in District 7. I moved my steps based on the information that Rabel Khan told me right before he was killed. Of course, I dont even know which of these big cities is District 7. I dont even know where the Leonensl food factory is. I ran with the thought that it would be okay to catch the citizens passing by and ask them. We have to destroy the headquarters of the Paranormal Union as quickly as possible and destroy the officers belonging to the Paranormal Union. It was around the time I was running down the street with that idea. Tring! The achievement Seed of Hope has been achieved. The skill Hope Propagation (B+) is created. ? The skill Spread Hope is activated. Hope for you spreads rapidly by the skill Spread Hope. . What is this again? *** In this world, human life was no different from that of an animal. A cheap factory-made humanoid reces a real human. It was a world where the value of human beings was lowered due to the ridiculously high technology. Hundreds of years ago, a small number of humans were valued based on their innate psychic powers, but now the world has not allowed even that. What family did youe from, whichpany did you work for, and who did youe from? thats all the world Those from slums cannot get ahead even if they have supernatural powers. At least unless youre a born gambler who can bet dozens of lives as coteral. In that respect, Katia Ryldee could be said to have been born into a decent family. He had the level of wealth that could not be pushed back by only one mass-produced humanoid, and because of that, he dreamed of ambition. The ambition to raise the value of humans over humanoids. But that dream came true one day in an unwanted form. This is an era of ignorance that lowers the value of humans, the value of supernatural powers, and the value of the strong. usurper. The world has been changed by the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, the possessor of the supernatural ability to steal. All machines in most areas of therge city of Silidin were in a state of incapacity. So it was only natural that humanoid substitutes such as humanoids also disappeared. But Only strong people with superpowers can be respected. The era of humans realized by the Paranormal Union was not so hopeful. All humans other than those with psychic powers fall into the target of exploitation, and most of them risk their lives for a piece of bread and fight for it. Katia watched the scene and thought with resentment. Did the human age really exist in this world? But that resentment was only short-lived. Katia didnt have very good psychic powers. Among the manifestation-type psychic powers, its a me-type ability that is less versatile All she could do was plunder and scare passers-by. Through that process, he gathered two people with strong powers, formed a plundering group, and plundered enough to barely survive. He had no murder experience, but he was prepared. Its a world where we cant survive without fighting each other. And then she met her true savior. How can there be salvation in this world? Sungyoon Han. After killing Rabel Khan, who was a broker of the Paranormal Association and also a hidden executive, he said: Its not like salvation, its just a matter of individual differences. This is not a noble act like salvation at all. Its just a selfish move done for the purpose ording to personal circumstances. However, at the remarks that followed, Katiaughed inwardly. Thats what he should be -So, this isnt like salvation, but Im offering it for my own purpose. Han Seong-yoon, who calmly said that it was not like salvation, gave her food. It was so much that it was difficult to estimate the amount It was a sight that made meugh. A person who says there is no such thing as salvation is doing something that is of no benefit to him? Isnt that an act of inconsistency? But because of that, I was able to have faith. Han Seong-yoon is the true savior of this world. A very deep faith that he is the savior who will save this rotten world. Katia had no doubts that if a god in the form of a human existed, it would be Han Seong-yoon. therefore. From now on, whenever you sow this food, say thank you to Han Seong-yoon. She did her best to fulfill the responsibilities directly assigned by her savior, Han Seong-yoon. I will distribute food! Please take all the food in this ce! please! As a result, Katia dragged her injured colleagues along to give food. Of course, people didnt take the food at first, thinking it might be a trap. However, as time passed, the number of people suffering from hunger increased. Suddenly, an old man approached Katia. Could you please give me one piece of bread? As much as you like. All of this is the will of the Savior. Oh oh! Thank you! Thank you so much! Please give thanks to the savior Han Seong-yoon. I know, I know! Oh oh! You are the savior Han Seong-yoon! Starting from that one sharing, people gradually appeared in front of Katia. They approached me in dubious doubt, and when they really started to give food, they spat out praises. Hope is Oh oh oh nothing water. Its not like stagnant water, its purified water! Go, mold-free bread? Where the hell did you get something like this? I said savior savior. ha ha ha Yes, this is enough to be a savior. slowly but quickly. Ahhh! savior! Thank you! I wish the savior Han Seong-yoon good luck! No, he is not a savior! Han Seong-yoon is an apostle of God who came down to punish usurpers! A lot of things started to change. *** Achievement Spirit of Salvation has been achieved. All stats increase by 1. Achievement Prevention of Destruction has been achieved All stats increase by 1 Achievement Hero Appearance achieved All stats increased by 1 What the hell What the hell is this? Chapter 211 211. Faith (4) Received the achievement Free Volunteer Increases strength by 4 Aplished achievement Conscience in Action Increases Agility by 4 . Aplished the achievement Good Deed that Breaks Despair Increases HP by 4 What kind of situation is this? thats absurd. I was worried because I was looking at the achievement message that came to my mind over and over again without stopping. To be honest, I dont know why the achievement keeps getting aplished. Achievement is a system that is achieved by doing something soon. Depending on the difficulty of the action and the conditions for achieving it, you will receive different rewards. That could be said to be the basic rule of the achievement system. But I didnt do anything. really. What is this? As far as what Im doing right now, its not that great. All I had to do was run hard and go to the Leonensle Foods Factory in District 7. However, if you look at the names of achievements, most of them have nothing to do with simple actions such as running, so it is natural to be concerned. However, after thinking about it for a while, I was able to guess a causal rtionship, albeit shallowly. Exactly Could it be because I told Katia to share the food? Inspired by the agitation of the usurper, he instructed Katia to give food. But it was something I wasnt expecting too much. The odds of sess werent too great either. But there was another force that connected cause and effect. Is it because of the skill called Spreading Hope? Perhaps all it takes is the Spreading Hope skill, so this is probably why the food sharing was sessful. A skill like hope propagation that makes up for theck of causal rtionships? Really There are still many things I dont know. I realized that there is no end to luck. I think I know how important a warriors protection is once again. I wouldnt have been able to acquire the newly acquired exclusive skill Stealing Faith (SS+) if luck hadnt increased with the protection of the warrior. As time passed, I could see how important the ability to increase luck was. Even if you dont act thoroughly, if you have abilities such as the protection of the warrior or the spread of hope, you can achieve whatever you want. But soon I erased that thought. But anyway, its best to do your best in everything. Even if you indulge in useless thoughts, the return wont be that great. Of course, it was a wasteful thought, and I had to inte the profits as much as possible. The faith of worship is slowly umting in the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Even if it is not, the faith is flowing back into the body, albeit weakly. What a waste if at least this is not used to the utmost. The myth is activated. Coincidentally, in this situation, there was a myth that could draw profit to the limit. The effect of < Salvation > is activated. All stats are permanently increased by 4. The effect of < Search > is activated. There are currently 87 followers, so the divine power is slightly reduced. It will be strengthened. As expected. As expected, the myth of < The Last Savior > worked normally. Even if its called the butterfly effect, since I helped the weak with good deeds, my ability level rose and the number of people who followed me increased ordingly, so my divine power was strengthened. Its an effect that kills two birds with one stone? Even < Salvation > permanently increased all stats by 4. It was a pretty good effect. Until now, I had a lot ofints about < The Last Savior > because I couldnt use it . But think about that for a while. . While wandering the streets, I found a sign that read The 7th District. The paint used to write the letters was worn out, and the signs were scattered in half, but it was certain. Did District 7 mean this ce? Rabelkan Starr. He said that the headquarters of the Paranormal Alliance is located in the basement of the 7th District Leonensel Food Factory. That means somewhere in this 7th district there is something called the Paranormal Unions headquarters. Surprisingly, the Leonensle Food Factory was not that difficult to navigate. It was worth it. There was a sign on this too. Because in front of the abandoned factory, there was an old sign saying Leonensle Food Factory. However, the Leonensle Food Factory waspletely emptypared to the headquarters of the Paranormal Alliance. Even the way to the basement was found immediately after looking around the inside of the factory. I wonder if the ce called the Paranormal Alliance Headquarters can be sox C Heh. I have a lot of trouble with what I have to go in anyway. Its not toote to think about it after entering. In fact, I wasnt in a position to judge the situation either. I heard that again and it seems so. I nodded at Dam Chun-wus words and went down the stairs leading to the basement. And I didnt expect it to be like this. There was a gate made of unknown metal in the basement of the abandoned factory. I was wondering why the factory was so poor, but was it because of this? Even with just a quick nce, I could definitely feel that it had tremendous durability. Perhaps this is an obstacle that it is best not to destroy from the front. It would be best to sneak in through someone who has the qualifications to enter the Paranormal Union headquarters. However, such spection did notst long. Thats probably the case too The skill Focus on Strike is activated.] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Without thinking, I was going to kick and blow this gate away. Weing weing weing! The emergency bell rang loudly, and dry voices echoed from all directions. The main gate was destroyed. Please check immediately. Emergency level set to [S]. No unique identification code. Presumed to be an intruder. Unable to identify ability type. It probably sounds like an urgent request to stop me Funny. In a word, it was all abouting to meet death. *** Paranormal Alliance Headquarters. ording to the information that Rabel Khan gave us, most of the alliance members must be inside. I had some expectations from him. If there are a lot of executives at the level of Rabel Khan, we might still be able to supply decent skills. But the reality was different. Rotten! Youre like a crazy freak! Why dont you use the expression system together with the enhancement system!? Shield all of the Bar Manifestations! Dont let any moree inside! Those who are skilled in construction can bring even a normal firearm and shoot! If you dont kill him, everyone will die! The psychics at the Paranormal Union headquarters were weak. Its also very pathetic. teeting! There were countless bullets fired, but most of them only barely inflicted scratches. The skill Ashen Blood is activated. Even that was immediately recovered with the Ashen Blood skill. Of course, seeing the scratches on the skin, I could definitely feel that the technology was amazing. Evensers were fired through the gaps in the bullets, and suddenly a formless pressure pressed down on the body I realized that it was a highly developed civilized world. But that was all. The skill Infinite Spell Devour is activated. Those who belonged to the Paranormal Alliance didnt have that great ability. As soon as it touched the body, most of it became a handful of mana, meaninglessly exhausting its power. I sighed at that and narrowed my eyes. Isnt Rabel Khan appointed as an officer for no reason I never thought that thebat power of an ordinary member of the alliance would be this far from that of an officer. Unfortunately, they tried to defeat even the executives Inside the headquarters of the Paranormal Alliance, there were no talented people who were presumed to be executives at all. There was no need to waste time anymore, so I thought of finishing it on my own. The skill Star Light is activated. Keying! The starlight containing divinity rotated fervently while being wrapped in a film of divinity Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > is activated. By reversing the causality against an enemy that does not exist, it creates a certainly victorious causal rate. Challenger Han Seong-yoon gains the effect of < Divinity Rising >. It rises. Every time you repeat victory , ascension gets closer. ordingly, when divinity rises, special rewards are given from time to time. released Quaaaaaang! Light covers the space, and faint screams echo through the explosion. As the starlight subsided, the half-destroyed Leonensle Foods Factory came into view. Achievement Extinction of terror group has been achieved. All stats increase by 1. and. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the majority, bringing her 0.0014% closer to ascension. Looking at the newly emerging system message, I shuddered. . That should be the case too As a special reward for < Divinity Ascension >, you will acquire the exclusive effect, Skill Growth eleration (D+). It is elerated by 10%. This time, not only the growth through the Ascension effect, but also a special reward was given. The rewards you get from < Divinity Ascension > have nothing to do with the content of the battle. The special rewards for < Sacred Ascension > tended to be like random boxes. Skill growth eleration? It wasnt a reward that had much to do with the battle he had just fought. There werent that many skills used to wipe out the Paranormal Union. I couldnt help butugh as it was a fairly systemic ability for a reward obtained through < Divine Ascension >. DEven if its a basic reward. Still, the level ofpensation itself is fine. this should be helpful enough Of course, as Dam Chun-wu said, the skill growth eleration obtained as a reward was a decent ability. Even if its 10%, the faster skill growth is an advantage that cant be ignored. As I was feeling satisfied with him, I suddenly thought of that. Even if you win against lesser enemies, these rewardse in How good can you get in the process of wiping out all the officers of the Paranormal Alliance? Anticipation rose. The rank of elerated skill growth is D+ . At that, I smiled expectantly and absorbed all the spirits scattered around me. Absorbed themand of the psychic Smith. Absorbed themand of the psychic Horkin. Absorbed themand of the psychic Rania] Necromancy Proficiency did not rise very much. It rose by about 0.00001%, so it didnt rise as much as a rats horn. It was no different in terms of ability. Uses all possessed spirits to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength increased by 1. Agility increased by 1. Stamina increased by 1. Magic power increased by 1. Durability increased by 1. It has risen by 1. I couldnt help but feel bitter about the result, which was only a 1 increase in all stats. But Skill Seven Shield of Light (D+) is created. Skill Item Enchant (B-) is created] Skill Fire st (C+) is created. . Still, a lot of skills were extracted. As expected, psychic powers are also treated as a kind of skill. I was wondering what to do if the extraction decision doesnt appear at all because its treated as a power. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect, Offering (B) is activated. You received 11 skills from yourself. Reces the abilities into divine power and umtes them in the heart. Since there was no valuable ability, all of them were reced with seals of offering. and. Myth < The Last Savior > is activated. When I reced the active Shinhwa with < The Last Savior >, new power came into my body. The effect of < Rescue > is activated. All stats are permanently increased by 7. The effect of < Search > is activated. Since there are currently 491 followers, the divine power is strengthened. It works. DYou said you already have so many followers? All stats increased by +7, so even divine power was strengthened on a different level than before. To be honest, the growth in abilities is jaw-dropping, but the real benefits seen in Shinhwa < The Last Savior > were separate. What is this The divine power umted in the heart rose to an unbelievable level. Regardless of the quantity and quantity, the quality of divinity has reached a level close to twice that of the previous one. Its amazing. At that, I raised my head with twinkling eyes and immediately looked at the gray orb in the sky. To make everyone on the 18th floor stage a follower. If that happens, how strong will the divine power be at that time? After thinking about it, I licked my lips and stared at the gray orb. It seems possible, but High risk, high return. Perhaps, by not bothering to prevent the birth of a godhead, a high-level reward might be obtained. Thats huge too. It might be worth a try. I gave him a deep smile. Chapter 212 212. Faith (5) A cold voice echoed inside the room decorated with colorful paintings. -The death of Ravulkan Star has been confirmed. A projector in the form of thin ss ced in the center of arge round table. Beyond that, a hologram of a man with a decadent appearance appeared and continued. At that, a brown-haired woman sitting at one of the empty seats at the round table frowned. Is that bullshit? Theres no way Rabelkans son will die! He said he was the strongest among those with transformation-type abilities! C Ragna. Its sad, but its the truth. Ravulkan Starrs corpse was identified in District 17. . -ording to the guess through the scars, there probably wasnt that many exchanges. The duration of the battle doesnt seem to be long either. no way! -okay. Rabel Khan lost the battle by an overwhelming margin. Even while wearing magic boots. There is a strong man who can defeat Rabel Khans son one-on-one? Ragnars eyebrows quivered. As one of the executives of the Paranormal Alliance, she knew Rabel Khan better than anyone else. Rabel Khan was not weak enough to die in vain. Did you even get hit by a nuclear power ray restored by a construction-specialist? -Can it be? As you can see, virtually nothing was left of that extent by him. Especially if it is the 17th district where the power of him extends. Then you really lost through pure skill? -okay. under. driving me crazy. okay. Then District 17 must be in chaos. Ill take care of that -no. There is nothing to mend. District 17 will have to be abandoned. what? -The man named Han Seong-yoon who murdered Rabel Khan released arge amount of food in District 17. Currently, the residents of District 17 worship him. What the hell is that? -And the worst of the worst, Han Seong-yoon wiped out all the members in the Paranormal Union headquarters immediately after killing Rabel Khan. Hearing that, Ragnasplexion turned pale. To wipe out even the headquarters of the Paranormal Alliance Ah, no matter how many executives there are, thats already -Its not human territory. Its the same power as him. I dont know if Ill be able to handle it even if all the executives gather. Ha ha ha. Really this is nonsense C He said. That faith stained with fear would make He a god. And with those words, he turned into a gray sphere and disappeared. The hologram of a man with decadent beauty emerged over the projector and continued. -However, the situation has changed with the person named Han Seong-yoon. District 17 no longer fears him and regards Han Seong-yoon as their savior. At his words, Ragna widened his eyes in amazement. Then youre saying that its impossible for him to be a god? -If you leave the situation unattended, that will happen. So, you have to go before that. There is nowhere to be careless. C Ragnar. The hologram of a decadent male let out a cold voice. -Give an order to summon all executives. and. -Lets deal with Han Seong-yoon and fill the ce defiled by him with new faith. next moment. C For the great myth that He will build. The hologram of a decadent male frightened his eyes. *** Achievement Worshiped One has been achieved.] All stats increase by 1. Achievement Liberator achieved] All stats increased by 1 Achievement King of Fanatics] All stats 1st prize Growth never stops. I never thought I could get so many achievements. By applying the stats obtained from the giant treebyrinth, he has ridiculous physical abilities It feels like his tremendous physical abilities are multiplied several times. Now it was a point where raising one ability level felt really big, so it was understandable. Raising your stats isnt that easy. The efficiency of the ability level increase must be different from before. Even with necromancy, it is difficult for a moderately strong person to grow because of his ability level. The growth achieved through achievements could not help but be sweet. As I was enjoying my growth with a light smile on him, I heard Dam Chun-wus voice. DIts amazing. I hope so many achievements are achieved. He is also a very lucky guy. He said as if he was dumbfounded by the current situation. DTo grow up like this with only a little food shared I think jealousy is a bit ugly. -under! Dont you think that eating raw food like this is ugly? Why is this growth eaten raw? This can also be called a kind of skill. D Dam Chun-wu closed his mouth as if he was fed up, but I really didnt think it was eaten raw. Thats probably the case too Hope for you spreads rapidly through the skill Hope Spread. These endlessly emerging achievements were caused by my skill. Not even that. Currently, after destroying the Paranormal Union headquarters, I was spreading food to other areas as it was. No water! Ha ha ha ha! I can finally drink real water! what is this? Its not cultured meat, its real meat? Are you just giving this away? Oh oh! Truly overwhelming kindness! My savior Han Seong-yoon! Please save the world! It was not difficult to give food thanks to therge amount of food stored in the inventory. It wasnt too much of a waste since the food was purchased with surplus points in the waiting room. Oh, of course, food became scarce after going to and from many districts, but it was possible to solve even that without difficulty. The skill Cultivate food is activated. Cultivates normal food touched by consuming magical power. The skill Generate drinking water is activated. Generates drinking water by consuming magical power in the bowl touched by the hand. It is because interesting skills were born bybining the skills acquired while dealing with some supernatural powers. Even though it may not be very helpful in battle, it was fortunate that it could be used at least like this. Otherwise, it would have had to be reced with the divinity within the body with the seal of offering. With these skills, I can supply food and drinking water as much as I want. The mana consumed in cultivating food and creating drinking water was enormous, but it wasnt hard to see the achievements that were constantly being achieved. As time passed like that Faith of worship began to umte rapidly in the challenger Han Seong-yoon. The faith that flowed into his heart before he knew it became a positive emotion, not a negative one. Hope, Happiness, Trust, Relief, Gratitude, etc I could feel a lot of emotions flowing through me, followed by a new system message. Aplished the achievement Purification of Faith Acquisition of the special authority Purification of Faith (A+) I opened my eyes wide at that. It wasnt a reward like all ability increases, but this time it was because of the acquisition of special powers. But it wasnt that surprising. The purpose of the tower is to produce true transcendents, so there must be abilities gained by satisfying the conditions. Soon, I immediately confirmed the power of faith purification. The special power Purification of Faith is activated . The faith umted inside the body was literallypletely purified. without any emotion whatsoever. C Whoa. I wondered if he really had this ability. Depending on the skill of the user, the standard point for gains and losses will be different. Perhaps the power of faith purification is the ability topletely remove the emotions that dwell in faith I see. It certainly does not seem to be a power that can be used blindly for all faiths. It didnt seem like it would be very profitable to purify the cult of worship that tinged with positive feelings. Purification of faith is to change the faith to the most achromatic color. But with that, even positive faith is returned to achromatic color? couldnt be profitable. The Faith Purification Power is like scattering poison to positive beliefs. But The exclusive skill, Strike Faith is activated. Using this authority for faith containing negative emotions is different. After purifying all the faith acquired through faith robbery, it seemed to be fine. Now that the robbery of faith is not forcibly stopped, I can keep the faith to myself. I felt that the ordeal of the 18th floor stage was about toe to an end. Presumably, the ordeal would be cleared if the source of divinity was removed after robbing all of the faith flowing into the gray sphere. But I soon stopped extorting my faith. Exclusive skill, Theft of Faith is disabled. Even if the gray sphere, the source of divinity, is dealt with as it is, there is not much left. But what would happen if the source of the godhead became aplete godhead based on faith and then won the victory? The reward you can get at that time will show a huge difference in quality from dealing with the gray sphere right away. Therefore, I had no intention of stopping the growth of the gray orb at all by stealing the faith. Even if I had to face the body of the Godhead, I was confident that I would win. That should be the case Myth < Last Savior > is activated. The effect of < Salvation > is activated. All stats increase by 11 permanently. < Savior > The effect of > is activated. Since there are currently 2172 followers, the divine power is greatly enhanced. This is because it became incredibly strong by epting people on the 18th floor as followers. Even with the Ascension effect, his godhood increased considerably. Now, even the obvious godhead should be able to fight on an equal footing. After dealing with the remaining officers of the Paranormal Alliance, it will surely be even stronger. We have to get rid of all the remnants of the Paranormal Union and gather more and more faith. It was the moment when he made up his mind. Deed! ? Suddenly the ground shook and I felt a wave of power in the za of the city. It took a while to tilt my head at a phenomenon I had never seen before. Paaang! Shallow shockwaves exploded in the squares of the streets, shing ck light. And . I smiled as I saw 11 psychic people in ck suits appearing in the square. I was able to find out who they were without having to use the right to view information. I never thought that the officers of the Paranormal Association would gather in one ce. 11 of the 12 officers of the Paranormal Alliance appeared together. It wasnt too surprising. I was guessing that the Paranormal Association officers would appear in the not-so-distant future. I just felt curious again as I saw people flocking to the ce little by little. How much stronger will their faith be if I show them killing the officers of the Paranormal Alliance? How far can the faith within the stage on the 18th floor be expanded? Chapter 213 213. Usurper (1) I opened the authority to view information while staring at the officers of the Paranormal Alliance. Exclusive authority #K-1547[Information ess] is activated. Although I didnt have high expectations It was because I thought that at least one useful piece of information coulde out. However, as before, no real information could be found this time. Again, is it possible to know only the affiliation, name, and ability to use roughly I thought it was worth it. Even if they were executives of the Paranormal Alliance, they werent that important. There wont be much information to reveal asplicated as despair, fall, and the god of madness. It was the moment when I felt sorry for him and tried to clean up the system messages that came up in a mess. Suddenly, one of the paranormal association officers stepped forward and opened his mouth. I am not so surprised. Its like youve been waiting, isnt it? Han Seong-yoon. He was a man of quite decadent beauty. In response, I read one of the system messages floating in the air. Tavnar One of the 12 members of the Paranormal Coalition who possesses supernatural powers. In fact , she is leading others in ce of the absent leader of the Paranormal Coalition. . Tabnar. It seems that he is in charge of the executives on behalf of the leader of the Paranormal Alliance . I could feel the umtion of considerable power in Tabnar. Should I say its as strong as the 7 members of the Paranormal Alliance? It had the highest level of strength among the ability people seen on the 18th floor stage. -joy. Its not a very high level but its better than the idiots Ive seen so far. Damcheonwu also acknowledged that Tabnars power had reached its peak. not bad. The fact that the other person has a lot of power means that there are many rewards to be obtained through necromancy. Tavnars eyebrows twitched as he smiled lightly at him. But that was only for a moment. Tabnar took a deep breath as if to control his emotions, and then continued. They probably know each other at least, so theres no need for self-introduction. Thats right. Han Seong-yoon. I have a good suggestion for you. I will hand over half of the districts within Silidin ruled by the Paranormal Union. ? In addition, I will turn a blind eye to the murder of Rabbulkan Starr and the copse of the Paranormal Union headquarters. So dont touch other areas anymore. I frowned at those words in amazement. Are you serious? Then does this even sound like nonsense? uh. . Tabnar is definitely strong, but thats the level that can be used in this 18th floor stage. could be asserted Paranormal association officers pose no real threat to me. You are nothing. And I didnt hide that fact, and I put it in my mouth calmly. Dont overestimate yourself to the point of threatening me. I cant believe that the person who destroyed the Paranormal Association was a psychopath like this. But Tabnar now frowned in annoyance. Ill take that word back. Sungyoon Han. You are really nothingpared to Him. I dont know because Ive never met him, but I dont think so. no. People like you are like antspared to him. It doesnt even reach me. I didnt bother to refute that. Instead, they listened quietly to Tavnar, whose emotions swelled like a fanatic. You should know. The existence that used its strength to restore this broken world to its original state. Thats what him is. In Tavnars eyes, I felt a trust that was close to madness. Why do you deny Him after seeing this miracle? It was simr to other paranormal association executives. Although they seemed to have different ideas, they all worshiped the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, the Usurper. It also means being hostile towards me. In fact, it was no different from a fanatic. Its not that interesting. I listened to the end thinking that I could shed some good information but it seemed that there would be no more information that could be obtained through the Paranormal Alliance. Conversations running on parallel lines arent very pleasant. So It seems like both disgusting things are the same, so lets not drag it on and lets finish it quickly. The nonsensical conversation was over. next moment. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Spirit Source Magic Sword, Double() is activated . ׄߡ)s herbivore unfolded. Originally, this martial arts twisted space itself and pulled it into the de It was a truly fraudulent technique. And the fact that this White Sword Jeopardys herbivore has been strengthened 4 times means that the distortion of space is getting stronger. The results werent tooplicated. Kwajijik-. In the blink of an eye, four of the executives who stayed in the path where the sword extended died as the space was twisted. Its also very neat. Originally, a technique that had the level of power to draw in space has the power to tear down space with the help of the Hunyuan demon sword. At that, the officers of the Paranormal Association were shocked at the same time. ha ha ha. thats a lie What kind of unbelievable ability This rot! I must all retreat! Theres no way I could handle something like that! Do not bullshit! Do you think you can keep alive the one who opposes the will of the usurper! and. Its only four dead! But does it make sense to run away! We can fight more Yeah right. Only 4 people died. Do you still have seven left? Try using a little more force. Uh Tavnar said that too. To a strong man like a usurper, something like me is nothing. So dont give up. I said with a crescent-like eye smile. Understand? But no answer came back. *** Tavnar broke out in a cold sweat and managed to keep his pupils from shaking. This is what the hell what is it? The soggy feeling, as if worms were crawling in my heart, did not subside. It was so terrifying that I wondered if a nightmare I had a long time ago hade true. That would be too Ah ah ah! You monstrous son of a bitch! How many alternative abilities do you have! Never touch that sword! Sneak into the blind spot of the sword and attack him as quickly as possible! This shit! Why do all my attacks miss! Dont be filthy and lets get away with it! It was because the officers of the Paranormal Alliance, who were ssified as the most powerful psychics in the world, were being trampled on. Even though they were moving with all the strength they had, Han Seong-yoon did not even get hurt. no. Prior to the concept of being hurt, an attack was not allowed at all.

Current skill stacking progress C [4] Even physical attacks were avoided by a single piece of paper, so there was no harm. Even that was a fairly rxed attitude, as if he had taken good care of it. It was as if they were putting on a trivial y with the officers of the Paranormal Alliance. Wait a y? At that, Tabnar looked around the square, feeling goose bumps. No way And then. . Seeing the crowds gathered all over the za, Tabnar felt a sense of despair. It was worth it. It was because I realized why Han Seong-yoon hadnt immediately killed the officers of the Paranormal Alliance. Oh oh! How could this happen! The officers of the Paranormal Alliance are being overwhelmed! It was a kind of show. To instill hope in those in despair and increase their faith by witnessing the copse of the Paranormal Union. Ah Tabnars eyebrows twitched at the cries of worshiping from everywhere. It was intuition. Now that the audience has been filled enough to show the show, Han Seong-yoon will finish the y. And Tavnars intuition led to the correct answer. Han Seong-yoon said with a smile. I can finish it now. Now this skit wille to an end. next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa! Han Seong-yoons sword was swung, and five officers disappeared, and countless cheers erupted from the crowd. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! One of the remaining executives, Ragnar, muttered, clenching his teeth in fear. Heh heh this isnt it I am Im going to run away Despite her mutterings, Tabnar said nothing. no. exactly. I couldnt even speak. He too was trembling at Han Seong-yoons power and couldnt even open his mouth. fault! In the meantime, Ragnar quickly tried to escape without hesitation but it was not a very meaningful attempt. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes divine power to move to the desired point within the field of view immediately. Because it appeared behind the scenes. Chow! Is there only one left with this? At that, Han Seong-yoon smiled and turned his head. Tavnar. What are you doing standing there so ignorant? you said Im not even up to you. And Now its time to check if thats really right. The deepest despair crept across Tabnars face. *** The skit, which didnt even feel like a battle, is finally over. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Worshipers have fanatical reliability, and the supply of faith elerates. I absorbed all the spirits as I listened to the roar of the crowd filling my ears. Absorbed themand of the psychic Tavnar. Absorbed themand of the psychic Ragna Absorbed themand of the psychic Angrama] And. The True Blood Demon Sword (A)s exclusive effect, Blood Eating, is activated. Absorbs arge amount of blood, increasing the items grade to A+ (8431/9200). DHuh . Its been a long time since Ive absorbed a lot of blood. They werent the same guys. Blood is still delicious. With the exclusive effect of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, the blood of the officers of the Paranormal Alliance was soon sucked in. I was satisfied that the grade growth was just around the corner. Its just I need to quickly raise the level of the sword. If there is one thing that is regrettable, it is that the grade of the Pacheon Sword, which grows only when you break something that is difficult to break, is the same. However, the feeling of regret did notst very long. The mastery of the power skill skill Manage Magic (A) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill skill Manage Magic (A) has increased by one level. The power skill skill Wind Grace (A-) has reached 100%. The level of the power skill skill Grace of Wind (A-) has risen by one level. The mastery of the power skill skill Soul Source Magic Sword (S-) has reached 100%. I did it. The level of the Power Skill skill Soul Source Demonic Sword (S-) has gone up by one level. Maybe its thanks to the Skill Growth eleration (D+) obtained by destroying the Paranormal Alliance Headquarters, but its because all of the Power Skills have grown. Even skill growth isnt the only thing. Frenzied Swordy, elerated Strike, Concentrated Mind-Amplifying Spell, Infinite Feeding, Darkness, Wolfs Step, etc The grades of numerous general skills that I have acquired so far have risen sharply. It feels good to have developed a lot of skills after a long time. General skills were also quite helpful, so there was nothing bad about growing up. But there was another reward. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the majority, bringing her 0.0041% closer to ascension. Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > raised her rank again, albeit weakly. As a special reward for < Divinity Ascension >, you will acquire the exclusive effect Sense Enhancement (C+) . It was a gain. . And. Is it the power of the newly acquired sensory enhancement (C+)? The presence of the gray orb floating in the sky, which had not been felt so strongly, was greatly felt. Even now, the state of the gray sphere could be known to some extent through the senses. So I was sure. It seems that the birth of a godhead is not far away. That the godhead, the target of the attack on the 18th floor stage, hatches from the source of the godhead. Is it the murder of a godhead At that, I calmed my eyes and fiddled with the sword wave. Can I make it? Without knowing why, I kept suppressing my anticipation. Chapter 214 214. Usurper (2) Time passed quickly. -Its boring. Even the remaining remnants of the Paranormal Union were dealt with without leaving behind, so there wasnt much that could be done. It was worth it. Having no more fights means the point at which growth slows down. Dam Chun-wu alsoined about this. -Huh. Its a fun time indeed. If this continues, Im really bored to death. He did not want to rest even though he had sucked a lot of blood for the first time in a long time. I got it. I agree. Because I thought that the time when I wasnt fighting was meaningless. It was all the more so at the time when my desire for growth grew. Its still a long way to catch up with the god of despair, fall, and madness. Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > is a time when you need to elerate your growth, but to spend time without fighting like this. I felt that it was not really effective. Of course, that doesnt mean there was no growth at all. Achievement Reconstruction of Hope has been achieved.] Agility has increased by 1. Achievement Refugee Relief has been achieved. Stamina has increased by 1. Achievement Little Hero has been achieved. Strength increases by 1. A ce where many people can live is built, and food that many people can eat is provided. The number of achievements obtained through it was not small. Although it is not a huge increase like before, my physical ability has improved in its own way. At least on the 18th floor, Ive achieved a lot of stat growth. He even gathered a lot of faith. I dont think I gathered enough to build a myth but I had the expectation that I would be able to get a good myth after steadily gathering faith. And there was also training that made unexpected growth. The skill Magic Meditation Ultimate is activated. Achievement Magic Meditation has been achieved. Magic power increases by 4. Magic Meditation Ultimate. When he used the training-only skill obtained from the giant treebyrinth, his magic power greatly increased.

When I just came out of the giant treebyrinth, my ability level was about 210. It was satisfying that all my abilities had grown so much in less than a month. Even his magic abilities were exceptionally strong, perhaps because he had trained using his spare time. Feeling satisfied with it, I heard Dam Chun-wus admiration. -her. Can this be called a challenger on the 18th floor? On the 10th floor there is nopetitor to match. I dont think its that strong. -no. In my opinion, there is no one like you in another dimension. Its an impossible monster. DTo put it bluntly, your skills are now at the level of a challenger at the level of thete 30th floor. Is that so. I responded roughly, but it didnt make much sense. It was worth it. The 30th floor. It wasnt a floor that felt very close to me, who is currently spending a lot of time clearing the 18th floor stage. But I got it. Challengers on the 30th floor probably have skills simr to mine. Certainly, the current me had the strength topete with high-level challengers. Im guessing that if youbine divine authority and various myths, you will be able to defeat even a 30th-floor challenger. However, I was not targeting the same challenger as apetition. Most of the godheads are quietly developing hostility out of fear that they might be killed by me . So I couldnt be relieved that I had reached the level of a challenger on the 30th floor. I have to be strong enough to win even the godhead. It was the moment when he was about to close the status window and focus on magic training again. Deed! Suddenly, a tremendous vibration arose from the gray orb in the sky. Hearing a vibrating sound in his ears, he opened his eyes. I knew right away what the situation was. He would be too. Because Ive been waiting for this situation toe. The source of the divinity has finished growing by consuming a lot of faith. The deity within the gray sphere will soon appear outside. The final boss of the 18th floor stage was about to appear. *** At that, I quietly looked up at the sky with my hand on my sword wave. Before I knew it, countless incontinence had formed on the outside of the gray sphere. It looks like an egg shell cracking. And the more the shell of the gray sphere opened, the stronger the presence felt beyond it. Burr. The power of divinity, which had thickened to the point where I shuddered without even realizing it . Thanks to that, I was sure. That the godhead born from the gray sphere is not an incarnated body, but the main body. Dam Chun-wu must have noticed that too, and opened his mouth. DI didnt say anything else because I thought you wanted it. Do you still have no intention of stopping the birth of a godhead? Dont say anything stupid. D Tsk. This is what I said from the bottom of my heart. You guys are definitely strong. But I cant say thats enough to deal with a godhead. I dont think so. It wasnt that I hadnt spent time without a fight. Myth < Last Savior > is activated. The effect of < Salvation > is activated. All stats are permanently increased by 1. The effect of < Savior > is activated. Currently, there are 18172 followers, so the divine power is greatly enhanced. Through the numerous followers, the divine power has reached a level where it can be strengthened to the maximum. Of course, as the number of followers increased, the efficiency of divine power enhancement decreased, but it should still be at a levelparable to divine power. So I was confident. Even against the godhead, there is a chance of winning. However, Dam Chun-woo nevertheless responded that he did not like it. DI fully understand what you mean, so I wont argue anymore. But this is something you should know. DThe main body of the godhead has truly overwhelming power. The extent of the end of the world is not difficult. okay. DDont think that the deities youve seen so far have really drawn out all of their power. After saying that, he closed his mouth. Seeing that he didnt say anything even when he tapped the sword, he must have been unconscious for a moment He gave a rough answer, but I knew at least what he wanted to say. Perhaps it means to be wary of myths. Mythology is not a power that only I have. The gods they have encountered so far have not been able to fully use the power of the gods due to the sanctions imposed by the tower. Since mythology is thebined power of divine narratives and faith, they may experience great hardships. But I had no intention of backing down. I know. That this is a huge gamble. But if you dont risk your life, your growth will slow down. It was even more so because it was not without odds. If Shinhwa < The Last Savior > robbed this much faith, the divinity that will appear from now on must not be that strong. A new death wont be impossible. At that, I touched the handle of the sword and gazed at the gray orb without moving. Time passed like that. Damn it. The body of the gray orb split open and dark red divinity dripped out. and. Divine light shimmered through the cracks. There werent too many changes. I could feel a brief burst of divine light and a slight wave of power in the gray orb, but that was all. I didnt even feel emotions, as if I was an inanimate object. I felt a sense of alienation to him. What is this again? It was strange that I didnt feel any emotion. The deities seen so far were able to feel emotions in any way and were able to respond appropriately ordingly. It doesnt matter if its good or bad. But the power flowing from the source of the godhead did not contain any will. I can only feel the gaze looking at something as if observing something. The god of usurpation is looking at you. It was then. Ugh. [Its you. ] A divine voice resounded throughout the area. [The culprit who robbed most of my faith without mercy and wiped out all my friends. ] After hearing those words, I didnt know why, my heart started beating fast. very quickly too. [Are you ready to pay the price? ] And. [ A challenger from the tower. ] next moment. Divine < Destruction > is activated and the world is destroyed. Divine < Destruction > is used and the cooldown is created for 100 years. Divine < Destruction >s cooldown cannot be reset by any effect. No. The world was destroyed as it was. *** Tick tock! Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect return by death is activated. Completely returns the world time to 10 minutes ago from the time life was lost. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) A cooldown of 30 days is created for the exclusive effect return to death. I was shocked to hear the second hand of the clock turn back. This crazy I never thought I would destroy the world with a single shot of divine authority. I couldnt even imagine. It was because he thought that a newly born godhead could not have such a powerful divinity. I couldnt even respond properly. The world suddenly copsed at the same time as the system message appeared. There was no precursor, so it was impossible to activate the skill separately. The good news is that time has turned back. I never thought that death regression would be activated instead of the Last Resistance skill Even if the cause was unknown, it was a huge benefit to go back in time. If the final resistance had been triggered first, they would have had to fight while the world was destroyed. But I still felt frustrated. It was worth it. They said I was a challenger from the tower. usurper. Because the final boss of this 18th floor stage knew about me. Chapter 215 215. Usurper (3) Achievement Returner has been achieved. The skill Time Control Resistance (B+) is created. Thoughts are quickly connected in an instant. usurper. The newly born Godhead looked at me and immediately saw through my identity, saying that I was a challenger from the tower. That fact came very close. It was worth it. If the usurper is a deity who knows me, then the situation is really at its worst. I thought Id be able to eat the experience of fighting a godhead every day. Originally, I tried to weaken the deity to be born on the 18th floor stage through faith robbery. The reason why I didnt deal with the divinity right away was because I was aiming for this weakening. A deity born without sufficient nourishment of faith would be extremely weak. So I thought I could use that to build up the experience of killing a god without too much difficulty. Was it a mistake? However, the usurper destroyed the world as soon as he was born and spoke of my identity. Knowing that means that he could be a godhead from outside the 18th floor stage. If this hypothesis is correct, it is highly probable that the power of the usurper has not weakened so much. Looking around at the world that had returned before the copse, I clicked my tongue andmented. There are limits to eating raw. DWhat kind of bullshit is that? At that time, Damcheonwu suddenly spoke in a tone that he couldnt understand. DThey boasted that they could deal with the godhead. I dont know what the sudden introspection is. -? ha. DWhat is it? What is that pitiful face? What is the reason you see it that way! its nothing. Damcheonwu doesnt seem to know that time was rewinded after the world was destroyed I didnt have time, so I didnt want to exin it. I dont think it will help that much. Instead, I immediately looked up and looked at the gray orb in the sky. The shell of the gray sphere was still slowly opening. Thinking that I might be able to correct my mistake, I immediately activated my authority. The Authority Steel Wings is activated.] Churrarak! The steel wings unfolded in an instant, and as soon as he hit the ground, his body soared into the air. Even that, at a speed that could close the distance to the gray sphere in the blink of an eye. And at the same time, he activated a skill he hadnt used for a long time. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The users concentration increases tenfold. The flow of time slows down infinitely. It was worth it. The level of concentration raised by thebat concentration skill is iparable to the previous one. Even as his physical ability increased and his original concentration increased, his skill efficiency also increased like crazy. The mastery of the skill Focus on Combat (A+) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Focus on Combat (A+) has risen by one level. Nice. Once again, I was delighted with the increase in concentration caused by skill growth. Now, with this, I can use all my skills with great care. Satisfied with that, he activated his skills in session. Authority Blood Seeker is activated. Skill Blood Seeker is activated.] Red steam-like energy surged from all over the body, and the Blood Seeker wrapped around the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword. and. Activate True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Blood (C+) > Activate True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Intention (B+) > Activate the True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Divine Amplification (B+) > Hwaaak! Strengthening the blood, strengthening the will, and amplifying the divinity ovepped over and over again, so the body was full of strength. Even the normal skills were used as soon as they were used, and now the tion became unbearably strong. But its still not over. Authority Geomki Seonggang  is strongly activated. Geomgang (). The skill that touched the extreme of martial arts learned through the decisive battle with the Heavenly Demon shines and is engraved on the twin swords. The skill Pacheon졯 is activated. The limit on what can be broken is removed. In addition, through the Pacheon skill, as if assisting the sword, the power of chaos flowed like a wave through the sword body. Apotheosis was optimized for short-term battles, so I didnt use it right away . Now that most of the tiles in hand have been removed, it is time to use the appropriate technique for this situation. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill , Soul Source Demonic Sword, Double is activated. It was a skill I hadnt used much since I learned it from Baekhak Geomseon. It was worth it. This White Sword Guanchuns herbivore is a martial art optimized for defense pration. However, there would be no skill as good as this to pierce the source of divinity like the gray orb. Without hesitation, I flew away without hesitation, holding my twin swords against the gray orb, stabbing it down as if stabbing it. Quadd deed! And at the same time, the mana in his body drained out to an absurd extent. Most of them were consumed by the power of forceful alteration of thew of swordsmanship and the forceful destruction effect of the Pacheon skill. Even so, there was not a scratch on the gray sphere Even if it was in a state without using apotheosis, it was absurd now. Kuh! Daldaldaldal. The hands holding the twin swords trembled because they couldnt properly transmit power to the gray sphere. Its been a while. Even if you draw all your strength, you cant break through the defense. It was a sense of helplessness that reminded me of the situation before gaining the godhood. But I had no intention of giving up. If the god of usurpationes out and uses divinity < Destruction > again, then it will really be the worst situation. Many people on this were worshiping me, and thanks to that, my divine power was greatly enhanced. Thanks to the advantage of worship, I was able to think about fighting a battle with a godhead. However, if the copses, you have to go into battle losing all the benefits of divine enhancement. I couldnt leave it like that. The authority skill Quick Magical Charge is strongly activated. Rapid Magical Charge. As he climbed the tower, the power sponsored by one of the managers was activated, and his mana rose like a waterfall. Although he was reluctant to use it due to a defect that damaged the magic circuit itself he was not in a position to cover cold or hot meals. He raised the power of rapid magic recharge as much as possible to cover the amount of mana consumed by sword and impeachment skills. and. Aaaaaaaang! Due to the change in thew of the sword and the forced destruction of Pacheon, the shield of the gray sphere was pierced. Its also very miserable. Achievement Destroy Divine Source Magic power increased by 10 Achievement Magical Power of the Great Ocean achieved Magic power increased by 5 Achievement Magical Gluttony achieved. Magic power increases by 1. The reward is fine at least. Thanks to the increase in magic ability by +16, I felt that my strength had returned. Should it be an unexpected reward? I didnt know that such a good achievement could be achieved just by breaking the defense of the source of godhood. There was even growth of items. Breaking Heaven Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the grade increases to S-ss (25000/25000) . The breaking sword, which had raised its level before entering the giant treebyrinth, had grown at once. The previous level of the breaking sword was less than 10,000, so it could be said to be a tremendous growth. But there was no time to feel pleasure. self. Because the destroyed part of the gray sphere was about to be restored. In response, I fell into the open space of the gray sphere right before the restoration waspleted. I have entered the sacred realm < Usnurture >. And ] It was then. [Should I say nice to meet you? ] A pretty young man with light blue hair was sitting on an old chair looking at me. The god of usurpation smiles at you. He looked at me and gave me a wless smile. [ A dirty hound selected by the top. ] Thats the purest smile. *** Divine Realm < Usurpation > was quite messy. Big and small mechanical parts floating around in the air. Books with different outward appearances were spread out randomly and kept their seats. It was foreign to the realm of God. [Isnt that a pretty sight for guests to see? ] At that time, the usurper sat on the chair and said with a smile. [I cant help it. I usually collect whatever I want. So the room is always messy. ] He kept repeating the things he wasnt even curious about. [Still, these are all my pride. The one that brought numerous superpowers and destroyed countless machines. Those symbols are these. ] . [ Isnt it cool? These books are abilities received from people with abilities, and machine parts are symbols of the result of usurping civilizations in the world. ] Im not interested. [ this. Thats a fair word. ] I refused useless conversation. I didnt even want to know what the books and mechanical parts in the divine realm < Usnurture > symbolize. Instead, I narrowed my eyes and asked him. Thats the question Ive been most curious about so far. Do you know about me? [To some extent. That he came from a ce called a tower, and that he was an existence capable of killing a godhead. And that your purpose is to kill me. ] . [Oh, and what I learned more about is that you have the power to turn back time? ] As expected, I remembered the time before the return. I clicked my tongue at that. The usurper was the one who obtained the godhood. In fact, I expected that even if time went back, I would be aware of this to some extent. But when I checked it myself, I didnt feel very good. One of the benefits of time regression is gone. Still, I found out something. Even though I can remember the time before the regression, I cant seem to stop the regression at all. It is still the same that this death return is a usable ability. The real value of this ability is to turn back the time of the world. Not being able to remember the world before returning was just an added benefit. As I was thinking that, the words of the usurper flowed into my ears. [ surprised. I wish I could turn back time Ive seen things like time slowdown, but this was the first time. ] He made an exaggerated gesture as if he was surprised, but there was no emotion in his eyes. It was so foreign that I squinted my eyes. Its because I felt like I was looking at an inanimate object with no emotions. But instead of immediately revealing my displeasure, I decided to season it a little more. If you knew about the tower, you would have seen it quite often. and. [ oh. Is itmon to see things like that in the tower? I envy you. You must have lived in a fun ce. ] The skill Fire Dragons Eye sees through that there is no lie in the opponents words.] After confirming that the words were true with the Fire Dragons Eye, I smiled dumbfounded. You dont know much about the tower, do you? Hes definitely an alien guy. TOP doesnt know much, but how much do you know about me? It was as if the chicken knew about it, but did not know the existence of eggs or chicks at all. As I became wary of the incongruity of such information, the usurper continued. [ yes. Ive never been out of this world So I dont know much about you either. ] The skill Fire Dragons Eye sees through that there is no lie in the opponents words. I thought while keeping my mouth shut. Saying that I have never escaped from the world of this 18th floor stage was a suggestion of another possibility. Perhaps this 18th floor stage is not a world reproduced by the tower, but a real world. I was simply transported to that world by the tower. So, the god of usurpation must have true power, not the power reproduced by the tower. Did they say that the fact that they were not significantly weakened even after stealing their faith was real, not fake? Thinking about it made me feel as if the puzzle had been put together to some degree. Of course, there is still a piece of the puzzle that has not been put together, then how do you know about the tower and me but even that was soon solved. [I just received a little tip about you and the tower from someone in a high ce. ] Thats what he should be [They say hes the god of despair, fall, and madness Do you know? ] The name that came out of the usurpers mouth was something I knew. *** God of despair, fall and madness To be honest, when I first heard the name, my head was confused. I couldnt understand why that name came from the final boss on the 18th floor stage. However, the questions have been resolved. The world on this 18th floor stage is a real ce. The god of usurpation heard information from the god of despair, fall, and madness. Thinking about it, I no longer questioned it. no. Far from doubting it, I was now convinced. That the god of despair, fall, and madness still has enmity against me, and if I dont grow strong enough while climbing the tower, Ill be killed by him. I realized that fact as if it was engraved in my brain. It seemed that the opponent was also simr. [Looking at the reaction, it seems that you know about the monster. ] And at that moment, something like a strange desire arose in the eyes of the usurper. It was different from the skin-like behaviors that had been shown without emotion and exaggerated gestures until now. And the emotion in his eyes was one I knew well. It was worth it. [Its been a while since I started to feel excited. ] Greed is one of the driving forces that have led me to this position. [I feel like I found an expansion pack for a retro game at a junkyard. ] Sssss! Divinity dripped thickly from the usurpers body, and soon his eyes began to glow red. The flow in the air in the divine realm < Usurpation > was wildly changed by the deepest greed. [That monstrous god said. You have the potential to obliterate all gods. So that means I have to deal with you. ] said the usurper, shaking his light blue hair. [Even that monster says it has to deal with you, so the potential of your power must be enormous. ] On the body of the usurper who said that, lights with hundreds of colors were expressed as if they were mixed. All the abilities that had been stolen through the power of usurpation were activated. [And if I can kill you and have your power, I will be able to surpass that monstrous god. ] He continued, extending his dirty hand down. [Really! I want to get your power quickly, my heart is burning! ] Coo-goo-goo! I twisted my mouth at the movement of truly overwhelming force. okay? Now that weve figured out what we want to know about each other, I think theyre trying to kill me Its a coincidence. It wasnt that different for me either. The divine authority deification is activated. It bes possible to exercise the divine authority ording to the potential divinity . .! [I had the same thoughts as you. ] Before I knew it, I continued to speak with a brilliant golden divinity wrapped around my body. [God of usurpation. ] And with a very deep smile. [How many divinities do you have? ] Really. [The more things you can have, the better it would be.] Its been a while since I had high expectations. Chapter 216 216. The usurper (4) Necromancy. This unique characteristic of being able to steal the power of the dead through the spirit also applies to the godhead. Even in a very special form. When you kill the incarnation of a god, you can collect the spirit fragments and get one whole god. Even if its not that, if its a strong adversary, you can have the authority and skills of the other person. Of course, unlike power extraction, skill extraction does not proceed with 100% probability but there were plenty of other ways to benefit. Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > or < Last Savior > can also give you great rewards. There are not a few things that can be obtained by killing a godhead. So, the battle with the usurper was to do my best. If you lead this battle to victory, you can really get a lot out of it. Of course, even if I didnt, I would lose my life and even my strength . But the same goes for the other side. [Its a temporary divinity acquisition. Even if you dont have the level, you can do that. The tower is a very interesting ce. ] When the god of usurpation saw the apotheosis, his red eyes shed and he swung his hand right away. [I want your power even more. ] And. Due to the divine realm < extortion >, a certain amount of magical power is forcibly transferred to the owner of the realm every second. ] Sssss. At the same time as the system message appeared, mana began to leak from his body. I frowned at him and immediately thoroughly controlled the magical power within my body. That is, while activating the power skill, Mana Management. [The power skill Magical Maniption is strongly activated.] However, it was impossible to prevent the forcible transfer of magical power. Even the amount of magic flowing to the usurper was considerable, so it felt like a lot of power was consumed. However, even if the sky copses, there is a hole that will rise Soon after, I noticed that there is a skill that can break this situation. Right-. The skill Punishment(P) is activated. All stats increase by +7 during the active time of the skill. Magic power is never consumed during the active time of the skill. The power of the dragon is on you. It dwells on and increases magical ability by 100%. It was a buff skill punishment exclusive to demons. The best buff skill that fixes the magic consumption value to [0] and increases the magic ability by 100% while dealing with demons. Originally, there was a w that it could only be used against demons. Interestingly, in this 18th floor stage world, it was possible to use the power of demons with superpowers. And since the usurper is a deity who has stolen numerous psychic powers in this world, one of the psychic powers he possesses determines that the punishment will be activated. At that, the usurpers eyes widened. [ her. Fixing the consumption value of ether to 0? Its a really stupid skill. ] But that was short-lived. [Then, shall I go a little more violently? ] Cheerla! Floating books all over the sacred realm opened all at once, targeting me. I knew to some extent from previous conversations what these numerous books with various characteristics were. The usurper said that all of these books were symbols of the numerous abilities he had stolen. Im guessing that books can probably exert several supernatural powers. Then theres no need to worry. However, among the psychic powers of this world, the power that is activated through the medium of books was not so much of a concern. Thats also true The skill Endless Spell Devour is activated.] All spells that touch the body are converted into pure magical power. Because I have a natural enemy skill called Spell Devour, a manifestation-type ability. Kwaaang-! In reality, the various abilities ejected from the bookshelf didnt even do me any meaningful damage. Fire, ice, rays, gusts, sound waves, etc Indeed, various supernatural powers unfolded, but none of them could hurt. At that time, Damcheonwu, who had been quiet until now, spoke as if muttering. -Its heterogeneous. He spoke suspiciously. DIts an extremely passive way of fighting, despite showing great greed. I dont know why, but the god of usurpation seems to be exploring your ability. Thats right, isnt it? We didnt even lose that much. To be honest, I did not intend to hide a certain amount of defeat, but to reveal it. After all, I have quite a few abilities left. Even if a countermeasure was established, there were not too few ways to break the countermeasure. However, Dam Chun-wu said as if he was embarrassed. -Thats right, though. It seems that he has other ulterior motives, though. It doesnt sound like youre nning a normal search battle. After listening to it, I felt a little bit different. Come to think of it, I didnt use the Divine Authority < Destruction >, the ability to end the battle, and I didnt directly use the enhancement-type abilities I had acquired through usurpation. Even if youre guessing that it can inflict physical damage. That means theres something to be gained by taking the quest longer. Then I have to figure it out. What he obtained from the giant treebyrinth was not only skills and powers, but also exclusive privileges for the tower. Exclusive authority #K-1547[Information ess] is activated. I read the information of the usurper while epting the raindrops without damage. Eold Balkan A person who became the god of usurpation by acquiring sufficient spirituality, faith, and legend. Can use Divine Powers < Usurpation >, < Destruction >, < Rule >, < Activation >. But currently The divine authority < Destruction > has a cooldown. He is currently waiting for the moment of choice. And soon after reading all the information that popped up in the system message, he frowned. I thought it was impossible, but even if I returned, I couldnt use Divinity < Destruction > again. It is also true that he possesses an unexpectedlyrge number of divine powers. The Divine Authority < Destruction > is currently on a cooldown. And the sentence Waiting for the moment of choice written on thest line caught my eye. It was worth it. Did he have a hidden ability? Waiting for a choice in thisbat situation means thinking about the timing of the activation of a specific ability. Divine power, myth, superpower, etc The power of the usurper is as high as a god, so its not something you can casually ignore. The trouble didntst long. Even if I dont know what it is, I cant let them use a hidden move. There was no need to wait for the usurpers counter-like ability to activate. After maximizing the grace of the wind with the Power skill, I rushed at the usurper at once. Authority Sword Spirit Strong  is strongly activated. Whoa! Dew-like sword steel formed on the twin swords, and the nature of giving an essential blow to the divinity itself was born. I knew from my battle with the Heavenly Demon that the effect of altering the forcedws of the Sword River was indeed fraudulent. Even if its a godhead, its hard to endure the change of thew of sword steel. Taking time to learn martial arts was not useless. Aside from not liking the Moorim dimension, martial arts is definitely a great skill. In theory, if you hone your martial arts to the limit, you should be able to kill even a god with a human body. However, since I am unfolding it in the state of deification, the power is no different from increasing several times. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Soul Source Demon Sword, Double is activated. It consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [4] times. By mixing small skills such as strengthening consciousness, the output became stronger. Now, the halo of light emitted from the twin swords has changed to an unusual appearance, and soon a sense of alertness appeared on the face of the usurper who saw the sword. [! ] Although he is a usurper with very weak emotions, he seems to have noticed that the situation is not so good. He kicked off the ground and leaped into the air, and then spread angelic ornate wings from his back. I think he was trying to drag some time by dodging in the air I had a few flying skills. [The authority Steel Wings is activated.] As soon as the steel wings were created on the back, I spurred through the air and flew faster. Wind Spirits Boots (A+) exclusive effect, Wind Road is activated. Then, using the exclusive effect attached to the Wind Spirits Boots, the movement of the body became smoother. The usurper who saw it said as if he was dumbfounded. [ Air work is not enough to create wings, so the airflow maniption seems like abo with no conscience. ] But that was short-lived. [Thats more than that. ] I replied to that and activated the worn-out watch of the regressor. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect, Attack Nullification is activated. Psychic ability, Chosen Angels Wings (A+) is returned to its pre-attack state by Attack Nullification. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification creates a cooldown of 30 minutes. As soon as the usurper lost his brilliant wings, he immediately began to fall down. Of course, he immediately spewed mes from his body and tried to use the output to continue the dogfight . Intuitively. That this is the ce to win. In response, I immediately took the posture to wield the sword and consumed the holy power to activate the authority. next moment. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. Chow ah! [Oops! ] Both arms of the usurper were neatly cut off to the shoulder des. I frowned at the results that were different from what I expected. Did you detect and react to the use of Sunbo? Originally, I was nning to blow my head, but before that, the usurper reacted to Sunbo. This is despite the fact that there were not too many precursors to its use. It was a disaster. I never thought I would waste a hidden move called Sunbo like this. Feeling impatient, I quickly retrieved the twin swords and tried to wield them again, but [ even though I dont like closebat, I didnt throw away my enhancement abilities and collected them one by one. ] Paaang! After being hit in the stomach by the usurpers kick, I was pushed back. Originally, since he had lost both arms, his sense of bnce would be messed up, and he would have been unable to properly swing his legs. However, the opponent was both a god and the final boss of the 18th floor stage. Chiyi! [To prepare for this situation. ] The usurper had already restored both arms that had been cut off. The skill Ashen Blood is activated. The mastery of the skill Ashen Blood (B+) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Ashen Blood (B+) goes up by one level. The wound from being beaten in the abdomen was restored with gray blood. And as a small benefit, there was the growth of gray blood. However, the important thing was not the level increase of the gray blood. I turned my head away with a frown on my eyes, and the usurper smiled lightly and said: [ Great. Except for the physical blow that uses the body, all abilities are useless. Its at the pinnacle of all body strengthening abilities. ] He continued, shaking his light blue hair. [But that means, in other words, Im not very familiar with methods other than directbat. ] And. [That will be your fate. ] next moment. Divinity < Rule > creates a new rule in the divine realm < Usnap >. Rule 1. All battles within the divine realm < Usurpation > are conducted as long-range battles. Rule 2. Divine realm < Usurpation > All beings who enter it lose 90% of their physical abilities. Rule 3. When engaging in closebat within < Seize >, one of the abilities possessed is randomly transferred to the owner of the area. Rule 4. Sacred Realm > Most of the abilities rted to closebat are sealed within the realm < Seize > and cannot be used at all. Rule 5. Items cannot be used within the divine realm < Seize >. Powerful rules created by the divinity bind me It felt like starting. There was no strength in the whole body, and really annoying messages appeared in the field of view, saying, The skill has been sealed by divine power. Only then did I realize Until now, the reason the usurper continued the search battle was to check whether I had a superior external attack method. Did you think there was no external means of attack after seeing how powerful it was in closebat? At that, I frowned and the usurper smiled and said, [Its a rule that has equal conditions for each other. you and me too You cannot rely on your physical abilities in this space. ] It was as if he thought I had no external means of attack. [ A warrior who cannot engage in closebat is not very valuable. ] In fact, unlike before, the usurpers face showed a little bit of joy. He probably thought that from now on he would be able to crush me one-sidedly. But [Troublesome. ] It wasnt. The skill Starlight Starlight is strongly activated. I immediately created a dark red starlight in my hand, and the eyes of the usurper who saw it opened wide. [ that! ] And. [You said it was a rule that had equal conditions, right? ] next moment. [I hope that thoughts will remain unchanged until the end.] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The entire divine realm copsed, enveloped in dark red starlight. Chapter 217 217. Usurper (5) Kwajijijik! Everywhere in the space of the divine realm < Seize > began to copse. Like cracked ss, scratches continued in the sacred realm with a crackling sound. very quickly too. It was worth it. In fact, this Star Light is a Dragon God skill obtained on the 14th floor stage. Seong-gwang is by far the best out of the external attack methods I have. It even contained a lot of divine power reinforced by the myth < The Last Savior >, so it wouldnt be strange if the entire divine realm copsed. But doesnt the usurper think so? [I cant believe I have this ability. ] The usurper was so embarrassed that it was iparable to before. Of course, his face was dry, as if he had no emotion at all, but I was sure. That the current usurper did not have enough time to put emotion on his face. Iughed at him. I dont have a proper mind, so I cant even act out my emotions when the situation is urgent. For the usurper, the mind did not y a big role. This was the information I found out through the battle with him and the will inherent in the divinity. So far, the usurper has deliberately formed facial expressions and behaved as if they were feeling emotions through them. I dont know why hes acting like hes got the right feelings. At least the icy face of the usurper was proof that the situation was very unfavorable to him. In fact, as if he couldnt let the sacred realm copse like this, he immediately spread both hands and showed his abilities. Geug-! In the blink of an eye, the incontinence of space that stretches across the sacred realm quickly disappears. It was only for a moment that he thought that perhaps the ability to restore it was superior as it was the domain he had created. I narrowed my eyes at the phenomenon that happened a momentter. It was worth it. In the process of restoring the divine realm, mechanical parts that had been floating in the air suddenly moved. And in the movement of these mechanical parts, I felt a wave of extraordinary power. That too The divine realm < Usurpation > is quickly restored by the < Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization >, the myth of the god of usurpation. I never thought I would really use Shinhwa. It was expected, but it wasnt a very good feeling nheless. The fact that the usurper used Shinhwa means that he still has many tiles left to use in battle. Are you a destroyer of machine civilization It is probably a myth obtained by paralyzing most of the machine civilization on the 18th floor stage. However, the effect of the myth was not so easily inferred. The name of the myth is < The Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization >, but the ability to activate it is Restoration? It felt incredibly different, but besides that, I received an unknown ominous feeling. For some reason, < Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization > felt like I needed to be very careful. Of course, its just a pure intuition without any logical basis Even if there is no basis, the intuition reacted means that its not bad to be careful. I could trust my intuition based on sensory-type skills and effects as well as countless battle experiences. So I decided to act as efficiently as possible. The holy realm < Usurpation > is to bepletely destroyed by activating the Holy Light once more. This time, it was so intense that it left no form at all. Keying-! The skill Starlight Starlight is activated. As a result, I immediately realized the starlight made of divinity. Just like that, I tried to explode the holy light again in this spot. However, the light did not explode as expected. He would be like that [ Its impossible to assume that there is an external means of attack, but I wont lose face if I get hit like this. ] Hung. It is because the usurpers eyes shed and the holy light disappeared at the same time. I was dumbfounded with my eyes closed, but I soon understood why the Holy Light had disappeared. Its nothing else Due to Divinity < Activation >, the Attack Nullification effect exclusive to the Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+) is forcibly activated. ] < trigger >. Thest divine power of the usurper was manifested. Even though the condition of not being able to use the item was imposed by the divine authority < Rule >, seeing that it was used, it seems that < Activation > has the property of viting the < Rule >. Even < Activation > did not deal with simple item activation. Due to the Divine < Rule >, a temporary rule is created for the exclusive effect of the Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+) Attack Nullification. The cooldown of Attack Nullification temporarily disappears. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skill, Starlight Starlight, is forcibly removed by the exclusive effect Attack Nullification whenever it is activated. The cooldown of the effect Attack Nullification has been removed by < Rules >. That wasnt all. Now, the old wrist watch of the regressor was forced to erase the starlight by activating an attack nullification whenever the starlight skill was activated. Seeing this, Dam Chun-wu muttered as if it were absurd. D< Rule > and < Activation >? What kind of crazy divinity is this? It was worth it. < Rule > and < Activation > actually form a battle that is advantageous to the usurper. When I saw it with the right to read information, I was curious about what the divine < trigger > was. I was dumbfounded when I found out the contents. Its a holy power that can forcibly activate an item owned by someone else. no. Maybe not. Perhaps the Divine Authority < Activate > is not an item, but it can forcefully activate even a specific ability. When I thought about it, things didnt feel good. But [Still, Ive used up all of my Divine Power hand. ] Although slow, this also meant progress in the battle. I closed my eyes at him and soon activated another skill. A counter-type skill that was not often sought after acquiring the holy light. The skill Counterattack Shield is activated. I said in a cold tone as I floated the shield of reddish magic power. [Lets see how far youve hidden your cards. ] From now on, it was the turn to elerate the battle. *** Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is activated. Applies the effect of < Causal Reversal > to challenger Han Seong-yoon. . Challenger Han Seong-yoon gains the effect of < Divinity Ascension > Each time she wins against a god, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases. ordingly, special rewards are sometimes given when divinity rises. After activating the counterattack shield skill. I quickly deactivated < The Last Savior > and activated < Possibility of Transcendence >. Now, the strengthening of divine power that can be obtained through < The Last Savior > doesnt work that much. I cant use the holy light, and most of my closebat skills are sealed, so I cant help it. Even if you strengthen the divinity, it is not suitable for its use, so it is an efficient choice to activate another myth. I use the sacred < Observation > I read and foresee the opponents mythology and power activation in advance. And even activated the divine authority of < Observation > obtained from the giant treebyrinth. Of course, the fact that he foresaw the activation of his opponents ability yed a big role, so his divine power quickly decreased But as he experienced in the fight against the Heavenly Demon, being able to read the opponents attack in advance has a huge advantage, so it was worth it. Soon after that, I looked at the usurper with my eyes narrowed. He stared nkly at the counterattack shield and smiled anew. [ I see. Is that thest ability? Aside from that starlight-like skill, there doesnt seem to be any long-range attack method. ] p p p The usurper apuded quite slowly, as if satisfied. [I dont think its been 40 years since Ive fought so seriously. Sungyoon Han. Really great. However, if the only thing you can use in this situation is a shield ] And. [This fight is my victory. ] next moment. The god of usurpation, Eold Balkan uses the psychic ability Spell Amplification (C+). The god of usurpation, Eold Balkan uses the psychic ability Spell eleration (D) The god of usurpation, Eold Balkan uses the psychic power Magic Ovep (B+) The god of usurpation, Eold Balkan uses the psychic power Magic Compression (A) .. Gooooooo! Lines of magic spears appeared around the usurper. The spears that were amplified, elerated, andpressed by numerous superpowers contained tremendous power. Maybe if I hit that attack right now with my physical ability reduced by 90%, my body would explode. His voice became even clearer, as if the usurper was well aware of that. [I look forward to how long you can block my attack with that ability. ] Then, spears of magical powerpressed to the limit were fired. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. In response, I activated Concentration on Combat and elerated the ident. With the current physical ability, it is difficult to react at the moment because the cognitive ability is infinitely lowered. So I had to borrow the power ofbat concentration to raise my cognitive ability Actually, even this wasnt that easy. It was worth it. Im not in good physical shape, so even if I use a lot of concentration onbat, my body is broken. Even if you increase your concentration to the limit of yourbat focus skill, you do not have the physical ability to handle it, so abuse of yourbat focus will lead to self-destruction. But no worries. Im going to absorb all attacks into my counterattack shield while setting the thought eleration ability of Battle Focus to a minimum. actually- Kwagwagwagwagwang! All the solid lines of condensed mana fired swiftly were annihted by the extended counterattack shield. It was the result of the shape transformation function and shock absorption function. Of course, the usurpers attack didnt stop, but it didnt matter. Thats also the case Charged. The skill Counter Shield is in a state where it can reflect the umted damage.] Originally, Counter Strike Shield is a counter-type skill. The more the shock piles up, the better it is, so theres no reason to worry about a lot of attacks. Before obtaining the holy light, I could tell because he often used a lightsaber as a counterattack shield. A counterattack shield that absorbed shock to this extent could show the best performance. [What else is that] Now, the usurper also seemed to sense the abnormality after seeing the light flowing from the counterattack shield. [ What is shock absorption and reversal? ] He opened his eyes wide and, as if realizing the situation, immediately built up ayer of protective film all over his body. Its also very colorful. Not even that. Soon, as if he was concerned about the copse of the entire sacred realm, he activated his repair ability as before. The divine realm < Usurpation > prepares for restoration by the myth of the god of usurpation < Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization >. But The exclusive effect < Cause and Reversal > of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is strongly activated. Due to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, some of the myths of the god of usurpation are converted to a state of being unusable. An unexpected situation urred. < causal reversal >. The effect of the exnation that it creates a causal rate that must win is activated. I opened my eyes wide at the effect I hadnt expected, and then I heard the usurpers bewilderment. [What.] Watching his face harden like ice again, I activated my divine power. Using Divine < Death > Challenger Seongyoon Hans activated skill is imbued with the power of Divine < Death >. Shiiyi! At the same time, ck energy rose from the counterattack shield, revealing the power of the divine < Death >. [If there are no more hidden numbers, I must die. ] At that, I smiled thickly and released the shock umted in the counterattack shield. *** Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! All the shocks umted so far were reflected, and the sacred realm < Usurpation > was greatly damaged. Its a pity that it didntpletely copse to the point where the divine authority < Rules > could be lifted. The condition of the sacred realm was so serious that some of the broken spaces could be seen connected to the outside. However, the usurper was not seriously injured. Except for the fact that the divine energy flowing from his body has weakened considerably. [The Hound from the Tower dares to invade my territory] Is it because the blow containing the divine < Death > was threatening? A faint rage shed in the usurpers eyes. It was only for a moment that I was surprised by the biggest emotional change Ive ever seen. [Ill finish it. ] Light of different colors flowed from the body of the usurper, and numerous system messages came to mind. Coo-gu-gu-!! Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation, uses the psychic power, Emotion Conversion (SS). The god of usurpation, Eold Balkan, uses the psychic power, Absolute uracy (S+). The god of usurpation, Eold Balkan uses the psychic power Technical perfection increase (A) The god of usurpation, Eold Balkan uses the psychic power Attack power square (S) . [You have too many abilities. ] I put aside the endless system messages. Looking at the ck wind rising from the usurpers hand, I was convinced. Thats the best power the current usurper can use. Since even the myth was sealed by < Possibility of Transcendence >, the usurper probably doesnt have more power than this. Then hope is enough. I can win if I hold on to the final resistance and evade well until the sacred area copses. The divine authority < Discipline > relies heavily on the divine realm < Usurpation >. In short, if the sacred realm is broken, the sealed skills can be used again. Therefore, if you hold on to the special move with thest resistance skill and wait for the sacred realm to copse, the chance of victory increases. After setting up a battle strategy, I raised the tension. By the way The exclusive effect < causal reversal > of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is strongly activated. [? ] A strange thing happened. Due to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, the divinity < Reverse Heaven > is forcibly used. < Cause and Reversal >, an effect attached to < Possibility of Transcendence >, was activated again, and the divine < Reverse Heaven > was used. The divine < Reversal >pletely resists the divine < Rule > and the divine < Activation >. That too in a form thatpletely resists the divine < Rules > and < Activation >. Even the need to endure once with thest resistance skill was gone. However, the usurper hadnt noticed that yet, so he maintained his rage and wielded his power. [ die. ] Kwagwagwagwagwa!! In the blink of an eye, the usurpers hand swung and a ck wind raged through the realm. It made meugh when I saw that it had enough power to destroy even the realm it had created. It was probably intended to destroy me even by destroying the sacred realm. But now there was no need to suffer. Whoa! Immediately, the two swords in his hands were wrapped in sword steel, and then he activated numerous skills to increase his power. There was no worry about power consumption. Because of the punishment skill, I am currently in a state where no matter what I do, my magic power is not consumed. At that, the usurpers pupils shook violently. [What else is this!] But. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to immediately move to the desired point within the field of view. Before his mouth could even open, I immediately The cooldown just activated Money Shunbo. The special power Eye of the Four Gods is activated. Specifies a target and creates apulsory weakness. After using the forced weakness creation technology obtained while obtaining Divine < Death >. As it was, he stabbed his sword into the ck dot in the usurpers heart. Wow! and. Congrattions, you have broken through the 18th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, Ushers Leather Gloves (SS-) will be sent to your inventory. You have acquired 150000 points as a breakthrough reward. Breaking reward You acquired 10000 SP. Acquired the skill Shock Reversal (B+) as an additional breakthrough reward. As an additional breakthrough reward, Superior Combat Cyberware (A-) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. The trial on the 18th floor is over. Chapter 218 218. Climber (1) [This nonsense nonsense] The usurper looked down at the sword that pierced his heart and muttered with his eyes wide open. [Forcibly destroying the divinity] Didnt I know that I would die instantly with this blow? It probably refers to the divine power < Death > or the special power Sasinan I wasnt too surprised. Divinity < Death > gives death to everything, and the power within the Shinigami created ordingly is the power to create a weakness that leads to death. It was as if the defeat of the usurper had already been predestined at the time of this encounter. Its strange to survive even after being hit with this authentically. So, the tower also printed out the ordeal clear message. Because there is no way for the usurper to survive anymore. However, as if he thought he could still survive, the usurper began to wriggle his hands and feet. [It cant end like this It cant end A little more power] And at the same time, his eyes lit up with boundless greed. A person who has plundered the power of countless people and gathered enough status to be a god of one dimension. To think that I am seeing the end of such an existence is a new feeling but I didnt want to see it for too long. It doesnt feel good. It was worth it. After all, the usurper is somewhat simr to me. The desire to be stronger and coveting the power of others without knowing the end were simr. But it was only natural that he couldnt be in a good mood seeing the end. [Now its really over. ] At that, I immediately activated the divine power while frowning. I use the divine < death >. After that, the usurpers body stopped moving. Just like that, the usurpers body turned to ashes and disappeared in an instant. Climbing the tower, I didnt even have time to enjoy the fact that I had won against a godhead for the first time, and a new message came to my mind. Challenger Seongyoon Han is 7.4% closer to ascension by winning against Divinity.As a special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >, you will obtain the exclusive effect, Increase in Divinity Recovery Speed (B+). From now on, Sungyoon Hans Divinity Power recovers faster than before. < Divinity Ascension > was activated by the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. That also resulted in a 7.4% rise in Ascension. Even as a special reward, divine recovery speed increase (B+) was obtained, and the consumed divine power began to fill up quickly. Certainly, unlike before, I could feel a tremendous amount of power dwelling in my body. Enjoying that pleasant growth, I smiled a little. [ . ] Now, with the level of divinity rising, I felt like I could do something fun with my divine power. In response, I immediately activated the divine power. The authority sacred power is activated. Originally, it was not possible to use very useful power only with the divine power authority. At most, it was only to protect the body from the power of the divine authority. If there were any other uses, it would be to cover the skin with divinity and emit light. But now its different. Time ends. The divine power, Apotheosis, is deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours. Even without using Apotheosis, I was able to use divine power in a new way. Just like this. sphemy! In the blink of an eye, the divine power that flowed outside turned into ice. Even with divinity. The ice created by the divine power freely changed its shape and took on various forms. Soon, I consumed the divine power next to the divine ice and created a me close to the prity. Fire! And the me was also divine, and it was possible to change the form as much as you like. Im guessing that this divine power can be converted into something like magical power instead of fire or ice. That wasnt all. Perhaps this divine power could even materialize things like skills or powers. Of course, Ive never tried it myself, so I cant say for sure. Still, its a good change. Then I heard a familiar voice in my ears. -her. Is it possible to freely change the divine power now? To obtain this much power on the 18th floor Damn Cheonwoo. DDivinity substitution is a skill that even inexperienced deities cannot handle properly He muttered something dumbfounded and thenughed. DThe growth rate alone is a monster. I got the godhead, but shouldnt I grow to this extent? Otherwise, it would have been unfair. DThats true, too. Still, this level of growth is unusual. It will be a record that wont be in the top twice. Then it would be nice if you gave me more achievements. At those words, I licked my lips. It didnt matter what he said because it was a record that would be second to none in the tower. Because what really matters is the real gain. I wish I could get more achievements to raise my stats or acquire skills I didnte up with an achievement achievement message, as if such minor growth didnt give me any achievements. But the regret was only momentary. Come to think of it, wont I be able to use that authority now if I clear the trials on the 18th floor? Suddenly, he remembered the exclusive authority he had received from the God of Proof in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, and immediately activated that authority. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated. Increase reward. The effect of the exclusive authority to increase the level ofpensation obtained through the trials of the tower was intuitive. The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] 18th floor breakthrough reward Ustors Leather Gloves (SS-) bes Usurpers Leather Gloves (SS+) . As an additional breakthrough reward on the 18th floor, the skill Shock Reversal (B+) is enhanced to Shock Block (A-). -) will be enhanced with Ragnats No.17 Limited Edition Combat Cyberware (A+). All of the skills and items received as a reward for the 18th floor trial have been strengthened. When I acquired the authority to increase the reward, the exnation I saw was that it was only about adding [+] to the reward grade but it was several times better than that. The breakthrough reward level is the same as having been raised twice, and the additional breakthrough reward haspletely changed the name of the skill and item. Its amazing. The reward increase wasnt a fully dedicated privilege. The authority to increase the reward received from the god of proof is only half of the original authority. However, this level of performance I was looking forward to what would happen if I got the right to increase the reward with the original appearance. I thought to him with a deep smile. I need to make a quick stop at themon area on the 21st floor. Lets quickly get the authority to increase the rest of the rewards from the god of proof. Of course, there is a condition that you have to go to the waiting room on the 21st floor . The only thing Im worried about is that the god of despair, fall, and madness might be up for grabs again. No matter how ancient Godhead is, he wont be able to do tricks right away. The god of despair, fall, and madness must have consumed a lot of divinity because of this. After all, I gave the usurper a lot of information. Thats why you cant forcefully intervene like this again on the next floor. Even on this 18th floor stage, if the usurper had not waited for the apotheosis, even that intervention would have been meaningless. The next ordeal didnt seem to be that different either. We have to climb the tower quickly before outside intervention urs. I made up my mind and soon absorbed the usurpersmand. Absorbed themand of Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation. Skill increased by 27%. And at the same time, Necromancy proficiency increased tremendously. ordingly, the message of raising the level of necromancy came to mind. Indeed, it is the growth of a unique characteristic that has been experienced for a long time, so expectations are rising. The mastery of the unique property Necromancy has reached 100%. The grade of the unique property Necromancy has gone up by one level#^&*! It didnt happen. Instead, the sentence of the system message was broken as it was, and before long, new messages came to mind. Since the conditions are not satisfied, the level of the unique attribute Necromancy does not increase. Until the growth condition is satisfied, the mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy is fixed at 99.99%. What is this again Didnt meet the conditions? I couldnt understand. So far, I have watched the growth of necromancy several times, but the system message is broken and the growth is not blocked. There was never even a separate condition for growth. I frowned at him, but aside from that, power extraction began soon after. Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the power extraction judgment begins. Looking at the power extraction message that seemed to block my view, I continued my thoughts. Could it be that the S grade of Necromancy has a separate growth condition? The guess itself didnt seem wrong. Unlike normal unique characteristics, necromancy can also get divinity for free when it reaches A rank. Probably, the benefits to be gained when Necromancy achieves an S rank are enormous. So its not that the new effect is so fraudulent that it wouldnt make sense if growth conditions were added. However, the problem is what are the conditions for the newly created grade increase. Its not just about raising the level of proficiency, its a condition that needs to be addressed separately. Its not even that I dont get it at all. Necromancy is the power to deal with death. Looking at the Divine Authority < Death > and < Immortality >, necromancy was closely rted to death-rted abilities. Therefore, perhaps this grade-up condition is also rted to death. Judgment sessful. It has been confirmed that authority exists in the spirit of Eold Barkan, the god of usurpation. Extracts power from the spirit. Special authority Create Divine Realm (C+) is applied to the user. It will be imprinted on Han Seong-yoons soul. Of course, its just spection, so I cant be sure But I couldnt dismiss it as meaningless. Necromancy is the source of my growth, so I had to satisfy the conditions for increasing my grade. That way it will grow faster. Having concluded that, I immediately used the usurpersmand. Absorbs the spirit of Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation, and permanently increases stats. Muscle strength increased by 12. Agility increased by 9. Stamina increased by 11. Magic power increased by 12. It has increased by 19. Durability has increased by 9. Then. You have absorbed the spirit of Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation, and have satisfied the special conditions. You can acquire one of the divinities possessed by the spirit of Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation. Current acquisition The potential divinities that can be used are < Seize > < Destroy > < Rules > < Activation >. The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an optionter. The time to acquire a new divinity hase. Chapter 219 219. Climber (2) You have absorbed the spirit of Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation, and have satisfied the special conditions. There is. Currently, the potential divinity that can be acquired is < Usurpation > < Destruction > < Rule > < Activation >. At this time, the uneven potential divinity will not appear as an optionter. The message that divinity can be acquired immediately came to mind. But it wasnt that surprising. I had already killed three incarnate bodies in the giant treebyrinth and collected the pieces of the dead spirit. Unlike that time, its not the way to collect the spirit fragments and obtain divinity It goes as I thought. Still, I was sure I could take away the usurpers divinity. It was worth it. Necromancy has brought the power of countless people to this day. Even if it is a divinity. So this time as well, I thought that since I had obtained themand, I would be able to acquire divinity. DDivinity can be obtained by killing the incarnation of a godhead, and divinity can be obtained by killing a godhead? However, Dam Chun-wu responded that he was dumbfounded. DReally, what kind of power is this Didnt the ancient gods say that? I am the candidate chosen by the top. Thats why you got this power. D. There is a high probability that necromancy is something like an elite course arranged by the Tower. I was aware to some extent. That necromancy was not a power that was originallytent in me. In fact, there was no room for manifestation of something like a unique characteristic, and it was just something the Tower forcibly gave it to me. Although I may have a talent forbat, my systemic talent converges to zero. I got a message before entering the tower. I dont know why, but there was a time when the top looked at me and praised me. Even before entering the tower. At the time, I didnt know what it was, so I passed it roughly beyond my consciousness. I could definitely notice it now. From the beginning, the tower has raised me as a candidate. Necromancy is the power given by the tower, and this was the route that led to the annihtion of divine beings. The power to obtain that divinity by killing this godhead must also be that the tower is trying to lure me in order to achieve its own goals. Maybe there were several more abilities like this necromancy. The tower has so far selected a lot of candidates, so there must be a challenger like me who can achieve an absurd growth rate. Im sure youll run into a lot of other candidates as you climb the tower. I had heard of it from the Iron Blood Lord before. As you climb the tower, the ordeal of encountering challengers from another dimension is created. Now that the ordeal on the 18th floor has alsoe to an end, that point is not too far away. Therefore, you may now meet another candidate chosen by the tower. DI thought he would have figured it out on his own. You guys are surprisingly deep in thought. Dam Chun-wu admired him, but I reacted indifferently. Otherwise, we cannot survive. It was just that he didnt need to think too deeply as he got the power faster than he thought. It was not difficult to guess the information bybining the clues floating in my head. I smiled as I looked at the sacred realm that had begun to copse before I knew it. Its because I know that theres no point in talking about it now. Its not that important anyway. Nothing changes. and. I just use everything that can be used, whether its the power the tower has arranged or whatever. Having made up my mind after thinking about it, I immediately chose the divinity to acquire. Its nothing else Selectionplete. Divinity < Rule > is reced with potential. I chose a divine < Rule > that I had already experienced before. Of course, there were crazy divinities like < Usnap > and < Destruction >, as well as divinities that forcibly waste the opponents hand like < Activation >. But all of them had their downsides. < Rule > is the least good option. To be honest, the rest didnt seem very useful. Although its good that you can take away the ability without killing the opponent, < Extortion > feels simr to necromancy, and < Activate > isnt very good even if you activate it individually. The divinity < Destruction > that copsed the world in the blink of an eye is at least attractive, but In fact, it wasnt very good considering that even this was neutralized by death regression. The cooldown is 100 years, which is ridiculous. No matter how much I thought about it, < Rules > was the best choice. Even this time, it was all the more so because he had acquired the ability to create a divine realm (C+), which ispatible with power extraction. The sacred realm < extortion > will soon be closed due to the death of the user. At that time, the sacred realm copsed even faster, and the space itself began to shake. It seems that the divine power supplied to the sacred realm was cut off and the closing speed increased . And then, without hesitation, I broke the sacred realm and escaped to the outside. Kwagwagwagwang! The achievement Region Destruction Master has been achieved. All stats increase by 1. I nced at the achievement message floating in the corner of my field of vision and immediately looked away. To the city below the realm of gray spheres. Is it really over now? Perhaps now the machines damaged by the usurper are back to normal. With the disappearance of the divine realm < Usurpation >, the power that forcibly stopped the operation of the machine must have disappeared. Of course, the machines that suffered physical destruction to the point of not being able to operate would not have changed that much. However, just the fact that the remaining machines are working will be enough hope for those who remain. I said the 18th floor stage was real, not fake. Recalling that fact brought a smile to my lips. I feel better than I thought. I thought you wouldnt be too happy about this. Even if it wasnt pure goodwill, thinking that I had saved a lot of people made me feel a little better. Still, wouldnt it be proof that there are still a lot of human emotions left? Of course, that feeling was only short-lived. Soon, I wiped the smile from my mouth and activated Shinhwa < The Last Savior >. Myth < Last Savior > is activated. The effect of < Salvation > is activated. All stats are permanently increased by 6. The effect of < Savior > is activated. There are currently 29972 followers, so the divine power is greatly enhanced. And then. Still, this is more fun. I smiled thickly at the ability level growth message that popped into my sight. *** The 18th floor stage is a real world. The world of the 18th floor stage, where highly developed science dominates everything, suffered a lot of damage but there were still many people who continued their lives. Thats what I liked the most. If this were a real world, < The Last Savior > would be more useful. Shinhwa < The Last Savior > will be stronger through the faith of those on this 18th floor stage. Then, of course, it is possible to increase all stats, as well as to strengthen the divine power to an absurd levelter. Thinking of that, the corners of my mouth couldnt stop twitching. The benefits you will getter will be beyond your imagination. With the skill Hope Spread, hope for you spreads rapidly. Even with the Hope Spread skill, it seemed like there was nothing to worry about. Because more and more faithes to me through the spread of hope. Presumably, this faith will never cease. I have the effect of spreading hope, and Ive done a lot of relief work, so Im sure you wont forget me. Wouldnt the name at least appear in textbooks? I can really go back now. In response, I immediately threw myself into the moving portal that appeared in the air. Go to the waiting room. And then. You have entered the waiting room on the 19th floor. The next moment. Challenger Han Seong-yoons ordeal ispletely over, and the administrators [observation area] is normalized. As soon as I returned to the familiar stone room, a message popped up in my field of vision. The manager Iron-Blooded Lord congrattes the contractor for breaking through the ordeal with a smile. The manager Baekhak Geomseon(Q) is greatly relieved after confirming the safety of the contractor. So far, there are some restrictions Because of this, he was quite happy that he could not observe the ordeal. However, the time to reply to the message was a waste. This is because you have to check the rewards you have obtained by clearing the trials. I immediately opened my inventory and checked the items I got as a reward for breaking through the 18th floor ordeal. Leather gloves of usurper Rating: SS+ Action speed +15% A holy relic with the power of < Usurper >, the divine power built by the god of usurpation directly through divinity. You can temporarily steal one and use it. Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect Forced Skill Borrowing when used. Specify one of the opponents skills that touched the leather glove and borrow it for 10 minutes. It is possible to use it. After using the exclusive effect Forced Skill Rental, a cooldown of 1 day is created. The first thing I checked was the usurpers leather gloves. I expected it to have the ability topletely take away the opponents power, but it didnt. Instead, there was a special effect called forced skill rental, so I was able to temporarily borrow and use the skill. Its not bad, but its a bit disappointing. Still, it was not at the level of grinding the item itself with the steel eating skill. Equipped with gray leather gloves on his left hand, he took out Ragnat Company No.17 Limited Edition Combat Cyberware (A+) from the inventory. A prosthetic arm through which a dull-colored electric current flows. Looking at the outside, to be honest, I can tell you that its cool After reading the item description window, I couldnt help but sigh. Ragnat Corporation No.17 Limited Edition Combat Cyberware Grade: A+ Prosthetic arm strength +30% No.17 limited editionbat cyberware by Ragnat, a custom-made prosthetic armpany. It isbat specialized equipment equipped withbat AI. When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect AI battle mode can be activated. Handles at the highest level . When challenger Han Sung-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect AI Assist Mode can be activated. It is assisted with. There is nothing to look at anymore, its a joke. I am attracted to the fact that it is a prosthetic arm that can be attached automatically without a professional procedure but it is not a very meaningful item to me, who has super recovery skills such as gray blood. If he didnt have an arm, he would have considered using it, but since that wasnt the case, the disposal of this item was decided. The skill Steel Feed is activated.] Cards, Cards, Cards Its been a long time since Ive thought of recing an item with Steel Feed. Because I needed more divine power so far, I changed to the seal of offering rather than eating steel. But not anymore. Since Ive raised enough holy power, its an important time to raise my abilities. The steel eating skill also had enough advantages, so there was no reason not to use it. Completely absorbed. Magic power increases by 9. Only the magical power suddenly increased. Even if it wasnt so, through themand of the usurper, only the magic ability was greatly increased And now that the magic power has increased so much, it felt like the magic power was overflowing like seawater. What would happen if you used magic amplification-type abilities such as tolerance and punishment for this amount of magic? I didnt feel bad when I thought about it. Skill C Shock Block (A-) Proficiency level C 0% Basic Effect C Definitively blocks 30% of all types of impact affecting the body. It is possible to release it. The skill acquired as an additional breakthrough reward, which was confirmed afterwards, also had a considerable advantage. It blocks 30% of all kinds of shocks. Its definitely a nice effect. First of all, it was important to definitively block the impact. It means that 30% shock block is always triggered, besides defense pration or physical pration. It was even possible to build up and release blocked impulses. This is pretty good. After checking all thepensation, I calmed my eyes and took a deep breath. Whoa. After confirming all the rewards obtained through the trials on the 18th floor, it was time to check what they had umted so far. Exclusive shop. and. Contractor Exclusive Shop SP C 114800 Category: Skill Category: Authority Category: Goods Contractor: Iron Blood Lord and White Crane Swordsman Remarks: Administrator: The first contractor and manager of Iron Blood Lord Im the apostle of White Crane Swordsman. My eyes twinkled when I saw the huge umtion of points that appeared in my field of vision. The result of the ordeal breakthrough reward and the SP reward obtained through numerous achievements is From now on, it was a mindset to use neatly without leaving anything behind. Chapter 220 220. Climber (3) Contractor Exclusive Store SP-114800 Category: Skill Category: Authority Category: Goods Contractor: Iron Blood Lord and White Crane Sword I stared nkly at the special points piled up in the dedicated shop and smiled. It was built really well. Up until now, I hadnt used the dedicated shop for quite some time while climbing the tower Now that too ends today. I will use all the exclusive shop points that I have obtained through the ordeal breakthrough reward and numerous achievement rewards. So, I immediately selected and entered the power category of the dedicated shop. Select the authority list to browse. One. Iron-Blooded Lord 2. White Crane Examination 3. Sponsorship Authority There was no worry about which power to buy first. It was worth it. Im thinking of buying all the powers of the two currently contracted managers. Of course, there may be powers that cannot be purchased because the dedicated shop has not been expanded That would be solved by climbing the tower anyway, so I didnt care. I selected Iron-Blooded Lord from the list of powers. Category: Authority (Iron Blood Lord) List (1/3) Boss Power: Clear View Index (C-) [Possession] Boss Power: Soul of Steel (A+) Boss Power: King of Winter (D+) Iron Soul and the King of Winter. I immediately opened the description window and looked at the powers ced on the first page of the list of powers. Boss Power: Soul of Steel (A+) Price: 6500 SP Description: This is the soul that some of the monarchs who said there was no blood or tears were born with. Increases the skill proficiency of all weapons by 2.32 times. All newly learned weapon skills start with 10% proficiency. Boss Power: King of Winter (D+) Price: 800 SP Exnation: This is an authority that those who were rulers of the north often get. In a cold environment, your stats temporarily increase and you wont get hurt from the cold. They were powers in a form close to regr activation abilities. Its not something that can be triggered arbitrarily, so it cant highlight its impactful power. However, Soul of Steel (A+) definitely had a huge advantage in increasing skill proficiency. In addition, King of Winter (D+), although small, was not bad because it could be made stronger under certain conditions. If I spread the ice with the substitution ability of divine power, I might create conditions for the activation of the authority. At that, I smiled and bought all the Powers. Purchased Boss Skill: Soul of Steel (A+). 6500 SP will be deducted. Purchased Boss Skill: King of Winter (D+). 800 SP will be deducted. Its strange to buy so many powers. Despite the fact that the special points were consumed in the blink of an eye, the points were still overflowing. Should I say that this is the result of my efforts so far? It felt as if I had increased my assets by using cheat keys in the game. I immediately turned the pages of the list of powers, feeling quite happy. Category: Authority List (2/3) Boss Power: Phantasmal Metamorphosis (C+) Boss Power: Iron Blooded Sword (A-) [Possession] Boss Power: Hand of Death (B-) Previously, I had received the power Sword of Iron Blood (A-) as a gift from the Iron Blood Lord, so I could not purchase it. However, in addition to the iron-blooded sword, there were interesting powers such as metamorphosis of bones and hands of death. Without hesitation, I immediately opened the description window and simply checked the authority information. Boss Power: Phantasmal Metamorphosis (C+) Price: 1500 SP Exnation: This is an authority that can transform any muscle or bone into an invulnerable bone. Regardless of your realization, you can change your muscture right away. At this time, the muscture changes and all stats increase by +2. However, you cannot purchase it if you have already undergone metamorphosis or are at a level where you can do so at any time. Boss Power: Hand of Death (B-) Price: 2500 SP Description: The efficiency of necromantic and ck magic is doubled, and slight body decay urs when the hand touches an object. However, if the opponent has the ability to regenerate, the effect of the ability to regenerate is reduced by half. But after seeing the exnation, I frowned. Neither of these are powers that attract me very much. It was worth it. The advantage that can be obtained from the metamorphosis is that it bes boneless and increases all stats by +2 In fact, there was no problem with learning martial arts even if there was no such thing as boneless, and all ability level increases were not attracted too much. Even the hand of death was more serious because it had the ability to stop regeneration in addition to the double increase in necromantic and ck magic efficiency. It already has enough ability to block regeneration, and it doesnt handle necromancy and ck magic properly. The metamorphosis is worth living for at least, but the hand of death really sucks. At least, you can use necromancy if you use the item Ancient Emperors Ashen Crown (A-) in the inventory I wondered how many things I would use. Of course, thinking that there was no other way to spend the overflowing special points, I immediately purchased both powers. Purchased Boss Skill: Metamorphosis (C+). 1500 SP will be deducted. Purchased Boss Power: Hand of Death (B-). 2500 SP will be deducted. And after buying the two powers, something happened to his body. Kwadde! Suddenly, the muscles and bones began to twist and change their shape at will. It was a change that did not show much on the outside of the body, but nevertheless, the pain was enormous. As I endured the pain with my mouth closed, I felt that my muscles and bones had changed. By the authority Hwang Bone Metamorphosis, a bone suitable for challenger Han Seong-yoon was created. All stats increased by +2 due to the authority Hwangol Metamorphosis. Its not a bad effect. All of the powers that can be obtained from the iron-blooded lord have been obtained with this. Satisfied with that, I immediately read the list of White Crane Swordsmens powers. You have selected White Crane Examination from the list of powers. Category: Authority (White Crane Sword) List (1/3) Authorization: Authority Integration (A-) Authority: Battle Desire (A+) Boss Power: Path of the Sword Demon (S) [Possession] and. Authorization: Authority Integration (A-) Price: 5000 SP Description: It is an authority that embodies the footsteps of Baekhak Swordsman as a challenger who synthesized all skills for selection and concentration. You can develop a new authority by integrating the authority you are learning, or you can raise the level of an existing authority by consuming the authority itself. Authority: Battle Desire (A+) Price: 7500 SP Exnation: A thirst for battle is the origin of a species that started from predators. It is a power often gained by those who see only struggle as their life. When fighting an opponent stronger than you, all skill proficiency increases by up to 300%, making it easier to feel joy in battle. As before, I immediately read through the power descriptions and left a brief impression. Its amazing. As the iron-blooded lord was able to obtain by focusing on powers that are activated in passive form Baekhakgeomseon was able to purchase active-type powers that brought tremendous advantages in battle. The powers of the iron-blooded lord are not bad, so there is noint. In terms of impact, wouldnt the powers of the White Crane Swordsman be more intense than the iron-blooded monarch? It was even more so because the battle craving power gave a +300% buff to all skill proficiency rates against the strong. Hunger for battle is definitely conditional, but its an authority with the highest level of strength when ites to growth. And that wasnt all. Power integration also possessed a good enough ability topete with the desire for battle. It is possible to strengthen existing powers and develop new powers In fact, it was a power that could be said to be an extension of the skill synthesis authority. Considering the benefits he had gained through skill synthesis so far, it was a truly promising ability. I immediately bought the two powers, feeling a strong desire to buy them. Purchased Special Authority: Power Consolidation (A-). 5000 SP will be deducted. Purchased Special Power: Battle Desire (A+). 7500 SP will be deducted. Now, with this, you have purchased all the powers of the dedicated shop that you can currently buy. (!) You can browse the list of new powers from the waiting room on the 20th floor. In order to purchase new powers, you have to climb the tower and expand the list of powers. After concluding that there was nothing more to buy at the Exclusive Store, I immediately closed the Exclusive Store. Of course, there are things like skill categories or item categories. I didnt know yet what the price of the rest of the powers would be, so I couldnt waste the special points hastily. Ill save the remaining points from the Exclusive Shop and use themter to buy new powers. After thinking that, I checked the current status and executed one of the towers dedicatedmands. quest. Previously, there were managers who promised to ept quests while climbing the tower. It was his intention to climb the tower as quickly as possible and to receive quests from them and carry them out. If you go up the towerter, there will be no time to receive quests. He could also get rewards that could only be obtained through quests, so epting quests was not a loss. I want to quickly use my newly acquired powers. The moment he read the quest while inting his anticipation. Read the quest of challenger Han Seong-yoon. A total of 4182 managers have requested quests. DThe manager The Last Trainer has requested the quest < Training of Eternity >. DThe manager The Swordsman Who Doesnt Believe in God requested the quest < The Path of the Unbeliever > DThe manager, The Explorer of All Things, is on the quest < Finding Immortality Magic > . I then blinked at the feast of system messages that seemed to obscure my vision. what is this again? I dont know why. The achievement Brilliant Challenger has been achieved. Your physical strength increases by 1. You achieved the achievement Aggro Agility increases by 1 Aplished the achievement The one who attracts the managers attention All stats are 1st ce Anyway, I seem to have be popr with the administrators. *** The manager iron-blooded lord frowns and is wary of the managers who are interested in the contractor. The manager Baekhak Geomseon(Q) bites her nails, feeling the intent to kill the worms that are attracted to the contractors. It was unexpected. I never thought the admins would pay so much attention to me. Just looking at the number of quests currently requested, I could tell how much I had increased my position in the tower. Could some of my information have been released? It didnt feel too good. Being noticed by managers means that others know about me. Of course, its not like they have perfect divinity, so theres no way administrators with pseudo divinity are dangerous. Still, since there was a what if, I felt the need to get the managers attention now. Its good that you got permission to block gaze. From now on, I nned to proceed with all trials with the gaze blocking permission turned on. That way youll get less attention from the manager. So I immediately went down the quest list and found one of the quests I wanted. Not different DThe administrator, The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Cult, requests the quest < Blood World Ceremony >. *Sess Reward (1): Acquire the special power Ghost Magic (SS-). *Sess Reward (2): Acquire the exclusive authority #E-0001 [Secret Shop]. *Sess condition (1): Be recognized by everyone as the next leader of the Blood Demon Church in the blood system ceremony. *Sess condition (2): Be recognized by everyone for your martial arts skills in the blood system ceremony. It was the quest of the manager, The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Cult. After reading all the contents of the quest, I touched my chin and narrowed my eyes. The quest rewards were more than I thought. Not only ghost magic, but also #E-0001[Secret Shop], which is presumed to be the Towers exclusive authority It was indeed a series of amazing rewards. Isnt it enough to be a loss not to do quests? even. -Ghost Goddess. Its not the main schools martial arts but its the martial arts of Dark Emperor, who was once notorious as an assassin. One of the rewards for sess, Ghost New Art, was not so much in the Moorim dimension. DI never thought I would see the main school again in this form. Damcheonwu kept his mouth shut as if he hadnt expected to see the blood demon cult through the quest. He deserved it. Even if it was a fake reproduced by the tower, it was an event to return to the group to which it originally belonged, so there would be many thoughts. But I didnt really care about that. I chose the quest < Bloodline Ceremony >. The 19th floor individual trials are reced with the < Bloodline Ceremony >. Observation of trials by other administrators is restricted, and only a few authorized administrators can view the trials. Whats important to me is the rewards you can get from this quest. Unfortunately, I didnt have enough time to be considerate of Dam Chun-wus feelings. In response, I immediately responded to the ordeal that was reced by a quest and then moved to the portal that appeared. Enter the 19th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Hard The theme of this ordeal is victory. I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result at the end of his or her chosen penance. next moment. The 19th floor trials begin. Remaining time C 1 hour Criterion to break through the trials Cplete all quest sess conditions within the remaining time Trial Failure Condition C Challengers Death or Remaining Time End Trial Breaking Reward C Special Power Ghost Magic (SS-) Exclusive Permission #E-0001 [Secret Shop] Trial Failure Penalty C None Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, I was transported to a square stone arena. I nced around at the tremendous roar that resonated as if my ears were being struck. The Murim people, dressed in military uniforms all covered in red, were screaming with eyes wet with madness. and. Thank you so much for your support! A middle-aged soldier standing in the center of a stadium-like ce shouted with magical energy in a flirtatious voice. The blood lineage ceremony is a ceremony to select the most suitable person to be the next leader among the sessors of the Blood Demon Cult! From now on, you will see the carefully selected sessors fight for the future of the school! As long as it can prove its strength, it doesnt matter, its a team that aims for thorough meritocraticism, so you wont be disappointed! Could it be an exnation of the background knowledge of the 19th floor quest stage? The middle-aged soldier pretended to be pleasant and chattered about words he was not curious about. I quietly listened to the words and organized the information. This blood rtionship ceremony was the ce to decide the next head of the blood demon cult, and it didnt matter what you used, so you just had to prove your strength. Its intuitive. Still, I liked the fact that he was a magician and that it didnt matter if he used witchcraft. Even if it wasnt, I thought it would be quite disappointing to use only martial arts A smile spread across his lips at the thought of using this opportunity to use the abilities he had acquired in the waiting room. As I quietly smiled at him, the exnation ended before I knew it. Now! The exnation was long and thats over! From now on, the blood system ceremony will begin! At that time, the middle-aged soldier smiled and pointed at me out of the blue. The one with the lowest rank among the sessors of the Blood Demon Cult! I am Dam Yu-jun, the inferior swordsman of our school! I felt a slight annoyance at him and narrowed my eyes. You openly insult the sessor of the Blood Demon Religion in a position to choose the next leader? It is the Moorim dimension where everything is controlled by the strong, so it is a mortal sin that cannot be opened even if the head is cut The middle-aged soldiers as well as the audience all burst intoughter. Huh hahaha! Inferior Sword Dam Yu-Jun! After all, you are the heir and participated in the bloodline ceremony! Foot! Uselessly muddying the blood-type water. Its only going to end in one blow anyway. w. There is no background, no skills, no notice. Tsk tsk. After the blood ceremony, I will be kicked out. The manager, the defeated sessor of the Blood Demon Cult, gnashing her teeth, has the intent to kill the crowd. Only then did I understand the situation. They said he was the defeated sessor of the Blood Demon Cult. I can understand why he has such a nickname. It was exined that the quest was to recreate a part of the managers life. So this must be the most miserable moment in the life of the defeated sessor of the Blood Demon Cult. Presumably, even the nickname of the defeated sessor of the Blood Demon Religion might have yed a big role in his defeat at this spot. He must have asked me for a quest because he wanted to overturn that miserable past, even if it was a reenactment. DThis is one of the descendants of the principal. It is truly a pitiful feeling. I feel depressed now. Damcheonwu said that in a droopy voice, and thementator, a middle-aged soldier, continued. And another sessor to the main schools inferior sword, Dam Yu-jun is the blood dragon sword, Dam So-cheon! And a pretty young man with red eyes, who was standing at the spot pointed by the middle-aged soldier, smiled. I never thought I would participate in the Blood Ceremony. aww You still dont know the subject, and you are interfering here and there. ording to the setting of the 19th floor quest stage, this young man could be my brother I hope both of you will fight with all your might! Then Ill just go downstairs! Not very interesting. A middle-aged soldier who yed the role ofmentator gauged Damsocheons skills while going down the stage. However, not only was the amount of mana stored in his body insignificant, but even the quality of that mana was insignificant. Dam Yoo-jun. Indeed, like a foolish younger brother. Now, I will put an end to the actions that I do not even know about. so. Authority Sword Spirit Strength  is activated. I had no intention of wasting time with this guy. Gee, geez, geomgang ()! How can you use it like you Squeak-. With a rough swing of the sword, Damsocheons head was cut neatly and fell to the floor. In the blink of an eye, the mor of the crowd died down. But that was only for a moment. Soon after, a middle-aged unmanned person who yed the role of amentator who went down the stage opened his mouth. Uh huh? What is this? At that, I roughly brushed off the blood on my sword and muttered. We dont have time, so why dont we go as fast as we can? And in a very calm tone. Come next time. Chapter 221 221. Climber (4) Absorbed the spirit of Blood Dragon Sword Damsocheon . It seems like a life-and-death battle between the heirs to decide the next head of the Blood Demon Church This battle wasnt as high-level as I thought. Damsocheon, who thought it was a blood dragon sword, was barely enough to use a sword sword. The ascension effect obtained through the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is insignificant. As I clicked my tongue and felt regret, the Blood Demon Sword in my hand trembled. DThe level is low. This is the only guy who seems to be able to move away after a few more years. How did the main schoole to be like this? Damcheonwu muttered as if he couldnt get out of the swamp of shock. It was worth it. Because Damcheonwu, a former cult leader of the Blood Demon Church, climbed the tower and once even acquired the qualifications to be a god. However, if the descendants were so weak, it was inevitable to be shocked. But that was only for a moment. Uh uh uh The winner of the first match is Yujun Dam. and the audiences hot support please. Thementator, a middle-aged soldier, soon resumed hismentary with magic in his voice as before. Of course, like he said, there was no enthusiastic cheering from the audience. There is only suffocating silence. Even those who had mocked me were trembling, unable to speak at all. The administrator, The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Cult, smirks as he sees the crowds who have shut their mouths!] Perhaps the manager, The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Cult, smiled and was satisfied. Its not a very exciting victory but since the person who can be called the client is enjoying it, it seemed like this would be okay. However, Dam Chun-wu clicked his tongue as he saw that he was tantly satisfied by proxy. D Tsk. Theres nothing I dont like. This guy, that guy, everything is just things. Dam Chun-woo, who grumbled as if he was annoyed by even the managers message, soon shut his mouth. Im guessing that means you dont want to watch this skit anymore. That was something I also agreed to. This 19th floor quest stage didnt seem to be able to get that many rewards other than the breakthrough reward. So, the intention was to clear the quest as quickly as possible. Then, lets start the second dance now. The heir who has dipped the Taishan Demonic Sword, pleasee up to the empty stage. And just in time, a new opponent appeared on the stage. The newly appeared enemy was a tall man with a broad sword. Looking at the body that reminded me of a monster, I was a little interested. He opened his mouth slowly as he sprayed me with thick flesh. Dam Yoo-jun. A bug that doesnt even know this topic. A lowly illegitimate child dares to seek the position of the head of the school? okay. It seems like you picked up a chance somewhere, but dont really think that you can get the position of the next leader. . A sword that imitated with witchcraft wont be able to scratch me. Its Geomgang who imitated it with witchcraft I just smiled without replying to him. With that word, I could understand Damguuns skills. After that, Dam Gu-woon did not speak any more and took abat stance with his great sword tightly gripped. Now, lets start the dance And that was the moment when the middle-aged soldier announced the start of the dance with a trembling voice. As if there was nothing to listen to until the end, Damguun quickly swung his greatsword down. I thought it would attack more heavily, focusing on the destructive power of the great sword Perhaps it was that my sword strength that I had shown before was bothering me, so I forcibly increased my speed, as if I was not going to give it my turn. Even the weak sword me that flickered like a candle me rose from the greatsword before I knew it. But I didnt bother to dodge the attack. That would also be the case. The spirit has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user. The spirit of the blood dragon sword Damsocheon has disappeared. The skill Shock Block is activated. What! What is this? It was because I was confident that I wouldnt be hurt in the slightest even if I was hit by this blow that was imbued with sword me. Necromancys protective shield and the shock skill block obtained as a reward for clearing the 18th floor stage . With this opportunity, I also found out that the shock blocking skill is useful. Even if its a shock from sword me, 30% of the shock is definitely blocked. I never thought it would even cut off the nature of sword mes that twists some of thews. Upgrading the skill through the exclusive privilege of increasing the reward yielded a lucky result. In fact, there was a high probability that this would also mitigate the damage suffered by divine powers that dealt with certainws. It could be said to be a huge benefit. There must be many ces to use it. However, there was no time to enjoy the new power. Do you think youll admit to this ridiculous trick! In the meantime, Damguun, who had retrieved the greatsword, delivered another blow as if crying. I dont know what trick you used, but I wont be fooled! But now youre done. Now that he knew the value of the Shock Blocking skill, he didnt have to ept Dam Guuns unreasonable attack. Kwajijik! I immediately swung the sword in my left hand and broke Dam Guuns greatsword. The Breaking Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the grade increases to S-ss (1100/50000). Surprisingly , the great sword was an item with good durability, but the level of the Breaking Sword increased The durability itself was not enough to stop the advance of the breaking sword. Chow! Without stopping, he moved his sword and continued to cut Dam Guuns neck. And at the same time, a system message announcing the opponents death surfaced. Absorbed the spirit of the Taishan demon sword Dam Guun . Next turn. That this bloodline-type quest woulde to an end soon. *** Absorbed the spirit of Damjiha, a cold-blooded demon. Challenger Han Seong -yoons victory brought her 0.0008% closer to ascending. Han Seong-yoons victory brought him 0.00006% closer to ascension Absorbed the spirit of Dam Seo-jin, a memorial ticketer The ceremony proceeded quickly. I defeated all the enemiesing up to the non-stage . Judging by the senses, it seems that there are very few people within the Blood Demonic Church who can use sword swordsmanship Even within the Blood Demon Church, they all look down on the empty stage from high seats, probably because they are masters with a tremendous position. No one ever came to the non-stage. It was unfortunate, but it didnt matter. After all, there is no need for a showdown with a master to clear the 19th floor quest stage. The manager The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Religion apuds the challenger Seongyoon Han!] The Manager The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Religion apuds the challenger Seongyoon Han! Apuse for challenger Han Seong-yoon! In fact, the client was also expressing exmations nonstop to see if he was satisfied with the current situation. Im guessing, if things go on like this, Im sure Ill be able to clear the 19th floor without any problems. The condition for sess is to be recognized as the next leader of the Blood Demon Church and to be recognized as a martial artist at the Blood Ceremony. Its a pity that we cant test the usurpers leather gloves and various powers yet but if you can get a high-level power and one exclusive power with this, its a surplus business. I wonder if the remaining time has been cut in half. The time limit is so conspicuous despite winning streaks over and over again. Still, the quest was adjusted to fit the 19th floor ordeal in order to adjust the difficulty in its own way. If another challenger had received this quest, he would have surely consumed all the remaining time. There is no penalty for failing in the quest ordeal, but it was clear that the probability of seeding at once was extremely bad. It feels like doing a speed run. Of course, Ive never had a long run before, so this speedrun will be over soon. It was the moment when he smiled thinking about the reward for clearing the Bloodline Quest. A middle-aged soldier who yed the role ofmentator shouted loudly. A truly overwhelming skill! Dam Yujun defeated all the other heirs! An unprecedented feat! Before I knew it, amotion had arisen in the hall, and I could feel the magic power moving through the trance technique. It was probably because he was surprised to see my current winning streak. The administrator, The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Church, posted a message as if enjoying the situation but unlike the client, I quietly watched the situation with my eyes closed. I dont know why, because the atmosphere has changedpletely. And But, as you all know, the final judgment of the Bloodline Ceremony will not lead to conflict between the sessors. next moment. From now on, Dam Seon-muk, the 14th head of the Blood Demon Church, will directly judge the suitability of the next leader! trudging trudge. At the same time as the sound of moderate steps resounded, the crowd opened the road all at once, and a white-haired middle-aged man walked through them. Certainly, the outfit itself is extremely shy Unlike the heirs Ive seen so far, the spirit itself felt in his eyes waspletely different. I could notice him immediately. That this person was the strongest person on this 19th floor quest stage. He came up to the non-stage before he knew it and looked at me with his hands behind his back and said. Hoo. Have you reached the edge of your heart? Thats amazing. Among the unmanned people in this vast midfield, only a handful of people have reached the deep end. Dam Seon-muk urately grasped my realm to the extent that it gave me goosebumps. No, you know this right away? I immediately opened my eyes wide in surprise. It was because he was the first to find out that he was strong enough to handle the sword. In fact, as if everyone didnt know I could handle the sword, the hall quickly became chaotic again. However, Dam Seon-muk clicked his tongue andmented as if he didnt care. That makes me feel even more regretful. and. The Dam Yu-jun I knew was someone who didnt know how to use swordsmanship and had no ties to witchcraft at all. next moment. Isnt there a way that a foolish son who cant use sword swords suddenly reaches the level of the sword sword? An unexpected situation has urred. An outsider pretending to be your son. thats also very troublesome. Chapter 222 222. Climber (5) The skill Focus on Combat is activated. In the blink of an eye, I immediately elerated my thinking through the Focus on Combat skill. In a world slowed down like a slow video, I quickly continued my thoughts. driving me crazy. I didnt expect anyone to recognize my identity on the 19th floor stage. Unexpectedly, things turned into a lot of headaches. Thats a lot too. It was worth it. Because Dam Seon-mook, the current head of the Blood Demon Church, judged me to be a fake without hesitation. The final boss of the 18th floor stage, the usurper, had external intervention, but this time there was no external intervention at all. Perhaps Dam Seon-muk doesnt think of me as a challenger from the tower. However, regardless of the fact that he was a challenger to the tower, the biggest thing was that he was no longer the heir. That would be the case too Because one of the conditions for clearing this 19th floor quest stage is to be recognized by everyone as the next leader of the Blood Demon Church. It was good to see that half of the quest was already a failure. The manager, The Defeated Heir of the Blood Demon Cult, is very embarrassed by the current situation. In fact, even the person who requested this < Blood Ceremony > quest acted impatiently as if he did not know this would happen. It turns out hes not even the sessor, so theres no way hell be recognized as the next religious leader. Of course, since it is a quest that reces the 19th floor ordeal, there is no penalty even if you fail But I couldnt help but feel annoyed. Maybe because of this clear failure, I might never be able to ept the < Bloodborne Ceremony > quest again. If that happens, all the rewards that can be obtained from this < Bloodline > quest will go back to the ball. In response, I tried toe up with the best possible number by quickly continuing my thoughts like rolling a snowball. and. It cant be helped. At the end of my thoughts, I immediately turned off mybat focus with a feeling of half-desperation. The skill Focus on Combat is deactivated.] As the saying goes, you only need to go to Seoul even if you go to Moro The quest < Blood World > is also enough if the conditions for sess are met anyway. Then there was no need to obsess over the other persons false identity. Because as you guessed, I am not your son. But thats not why you cant be the next leader. The conditions for sess were to be recognized by everyone as the next head of the Blood Demon Church and to be recognized by everyone for martial arts at the Blood Ceremony. This is because there are people who have to admit everything, so its a condition that exists. So, it means that there should be no people who do not recognize as the next leader and those who do not acknowledge martial arts Then the solution is simpler than you think. If I kill everyone in this room anyway, then Ill be the next head of the Blood Demon Church, right? Because it can be solved by massacring the people on the 19th floor stage. *** Aplished the achievement Invention to break the mold Magic power increased by 1 Among the conditions for the sess of the < Bloodborne Ceremony > quest, the biggest hindrance was the phrase to be recognized by everyone. . Originally, he had intended to be recognized by everyone forcibly with his overwhelming skills, but It is because the circumstances turned out to be more twisted than expected, and it became impossible to be recognized at all as it was revealed that he was not even a sessor at all. Recognition is impossible. But there was still a way to survive. Exactly On this 19th floor stage, I just need to kill everyone except for the people who can recognize me. Negative judges are all excluded. Among the conditions for the sess of this < Bloodborne Ceremony > quest, it is sufficient if there are only a few people who can recognize me as the next leader. There are a lot of people, so that minimum requirement can be met. So, I didnt want to immerse myself in the concept given to me anymore, and I closed my eyes while holding the twin swords tightly. It doesnt matter whether its a degree or an apostle, as long as the results are the same. Of course, I dont know if this will seed or fail, but shouldnt I struggle until the end? Dam Seon-mukughed at him as if he was dumbfounded, and then opened his mouth. Amazing. I wondered what it was because it seemed to roll my head for a while. I never thought you would have thought that way. He shook his head and continued. I dont know why someone like you is so obsessed with being the next leader. I dont think a monster like you is worthy of being obsessed with the next head of the Blood Demon Church. Even if I tell you, you wont understand. Hmm. Got it. Then there is nothing you can do. Unexpectedly, Dam Seon-muk neatly stopped asking why he was aiming for the position of the next leader. Instead, he tilted his head the other way, touching his chin as if he was more interested. Rather than that, I wonder who the hell you are. Dam Seon-muk continued with his eyes shining like a beast that found a new toy. Where did a monster like youe from? Thats what Im really curious about. Does knowing that change anything? To some extent. For example I see. We might be able to designate you as the next headteacher. What is that I looked at Dam Seon-muk with my eyes wide open. It was worth it. Im not even the heir just because I know my identity, so Im going to hand over the position of the next head of the church? It was absurd. However, judging by the fire dragons eyes, he wasnt really lying. Dam Seon-muk was sincerely saying that he could hand over the position of the next leader even if he was not the sessor. Are you saying youre handing the next leader over to someone youve never met? If you really want to be the next headteacher without any ill intentions, that would be the case. You look like you dont understand. isnt it natural? Giving up the position of the next teacher just because you know a little bit about him. Theres no way you can understand it withmon sense Just before the words continued, Dam Seon-muk smiled and asked in response as if he was dumbfounded. Then do you understand why you act so absurd? There was nothing else to say. Like he said, if I look at it through the eyes of others, I dont do things that make sense. Just as you have reasons you cannot exin to others, I also have reasons that cannot be exined. After saying that, Dam Seon-muk narrowed his eyes and smiled. If I had to exin it, Id give up the useless position of being the next leader and do battle with a monster like you. For just that reason, youre handing over the position of the next leader? But is it a problem? . Really he is an entric freak. But there was one thing I could be sure of. Thats not to say Im not a mindless geek. Currently, Dam Seon-muk was thinking of taking advantage of me. So, he must have said that he would give up the position of the next leader without hesitation. Of course, I couldnt read the exact image because I read the emotions revealed on his surface through sensory reinforcement. I can only guess that there is such a thought by feeling a deep greed. In the first ce, since the ordeal was over, I didnt even want to know his deeper thoughts. -ha. I could never have thought that the descendant of the principal would be such a madman among madmen. I have a headache. I also implicitly agreed with Dam Chun-wus deplorable words. It certainly wasnt sane. But I liked the fact that I didnt have to gamble with the annoying quest failure. Because of that, I gave up making a mess right here and decided to listen to him more. But it doesnt mean that I will give you the position of the next leader without any conditions. I knew it. I am willing to ept the conditions to some extent, so please tell me quickly. It is. Well, its not a big deal, but Im thinking of putting three simple conditions as much as possible. Is that so. In response, I immediately noticed that the conditions that Dam Seon-muk would present were not that simple. He will be like that too First, I will fulfill some of my responsibilities as the next leader. This is because the senses reinforced by numerous abilities told me. The second is to prove as much as possible that you have no ill intentions. In other words, Dam Seon-muk is showing an infinitely strong sense of holiness. The third is to risk your life and fight with me to prove your credentials as the next leader. Only then did I realize Would you ept it? He had no otherplicated greed. If you ept this condition, I will give you the position of the next leader of the Blood Demon Church. He was simply hoping for a fight that he risked his life on. If its really like a Murim person, should I say that its a reason to say that Im like a Murim person? To be honest, even though I couldnt fully understand it, it was possible to understand it somehow. The Murim people Ive seen so far were originally such a people with a strong sense of war. I answered him right away. I will ept the terms. and. Thats good news from what Ive been hearing. next moment. Please prove your strength enough to get the position of the next leader. Quaaaaaaaaaa! Dam Seon-Muks body exuded a bloody aura with overwhelming power. *** Blood Demon God. The best of the best of the best that can greatly increase the bodys regenerative power and use the ability to control blood. This was a martial art that he had previously learned through Damcheonwu. Until now, I thought that I had used it well by using it as an addition to the Power of Blood Heaven, but I thought that it would not be as good as that. DStill, even if it rots, a blood horse is a blood horse. Thats great. Its notmon for a madman to learn blood demon magic to the extreme. The red energy currently scattered by Dam Seon-Muk wasparable to the Heavenly Demon seen on the 17th floor. In fact, even Damcheonwu moaned and acknowledged the power of Damseonmuk. At that, I narrowed my eyes and immediately activated my authority. Now it is because I felt the need to raise the output to some extent. The power of Heolcheon Deep Gong is strongly activated. And at the same time, bloody energy also surges from my body. It is as if the body has be a steam engine. Seeing this, Dam Seon-mukughed as if he was interested. Even if its basic martial arts, I learned the martial arts of the main school He said excitedly with red eyes. haha! That means you are one of the main schools members! Yes, this would have proved that there were no ill intentions! crazy sound. In the first ce, even if I wasnt the real Dam Yu-jun, the fact that I participated in the blood-rted ceremony was itself impure. It must be all the more so since all the other sessors of the Blood Demon Church died because of that. Of course, exining that I have no impure intentions has already passed. Still, saying this is tantamount to showing that he is obsessed with me. In fact, Dam Seon-Muk raised the red magic even faster, as if none of that mattered. Then its time to prove your skills! next moment. At the edge of the strengthened senses, I felt a red divinity suddenly sway in Dam Seon-Muks heart. I already knew what that meant. It was a sword of the heart. Myth < Last Savior > is activated. The effect of < Salvation > is activated. All stats are permanently increased by 4. The effect of < Savior > is activated. Since there are currently 49972 followers, the holy power is greatly enhanced. Whoa! In response, I strengthened the divine power with the and released the divine power to the outside. So-so-so-! And from that point, the divine power released to the outside became extremely cold and flew around. It was a divinity recement ability previously obtained through the Ascension effect. In the blink of an eye, the non-stage froze, and in the blink of an eye, the shot of the spirit sword was canceled without a trace. The divine power reinforced by mythology was now enough to erase even the spirit sword with momentum. The authority Winter King is automatically activated when the conditions are met. All stats are amplified by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. Powers were additionally activated. Suddenly, feeling the vitality in my body, I immediately stamped my feet. The power skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 80%. Current skill stacking progress C [8] Then, I became a gust of wind and fired, and Dam Seon-Muks mouth was extremely wide. Soared. Yes! It should be this much! But that was only for a moment. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. In fact, running with the Grace of the Wind is a fake. It was close to not noticing the signs of the activation of Shunbo. In fact, Dam Seon-muks eyes widened in the blink of an eye, but my left hand touched his torso faster than that. Of course, Dam Seon-muk quickly twisted his torso without saying a word, reducing the damage to the extent of brushing it but it didnt matter too much. The usurpers Leather Gloves (SS+) exclusive effect, Forced Skill Borrowing, is activated. Designate one of the other persons skills and borrow that skill for 10 minutes. One of the opponents skills is randomly assigned. The skill Intangible Sword (SS-) is forcibly borrowed from the opponent for 10 minutes. Anyway, the main topic was this way. Chapter 223 223. 20th floor (1) Intangible sword. Literally tranted, this means a shapeless sword To be honest, I couldnt understand what this skill meant. A shapeless sword? There is already an invisible sword called the heart sword, so it was questionable whether there should be a separate skill called the shapeless sword. I cant understand why it was designated as an SS-ss skill. But [The skill Intangible Sword is activated.] Such thoughts soon disappeared the moment he used the intangible sword skill that he forcibly borrowed from Dam Seon-muk. It was worth it. At the same time as the skill was activated, the holy power drained away and three or four golden swords were created. At that, I opened my eyes wide. !? Then, I was shocked to see the system message that popped up. The skill Intangible Sword is greatly affected by challenger Han Seong-yoons divinity. The skill Intangible Sword uses the basic activation ability Myth Ovep by the divinity < Transcendence >. The skill Intangible Sword has a certain amount When more are created, the newly activated ability Divine Interference is used. Myth Stack and Divine Interference. Looking at the name of the skill, I guessed that it was simply a skill rted to martial arts, but it wasnt. If the spirit sword is a skill that uses the divine as its own route, the intangible sword increases the natural strength of the divine. Even the intangible sword itself was unusual. Whoa-! Could it be that it was heavily influenced by the divinity < Transcendence >? Three or four golden swords created in the air were all scattering tremendous divinity. Even with that connected to me. In a word, the intangible sword is in the same state as a part of my body, and through that point, I can freely use my divinity. Just like this. So-so-so-! In the blink of an eye, several intangible swords reced the divinity with cold and scattered it. As a result, the cold air flowed across the empty stage, and the audience screamed and retreated. There was also an attempt to drive away the needlessly gathered crowds This was to create an environment where the newly purchased power King of Winter could be used as widely as possible. Anyway, one of the conditions for the sess of the < Bloodborne Ceremony > quest has already received sufficient recognition for martial arts. Therefore, there was no need to be considerate of the audience anywhere. With this, there will be no more intruders. Satisfied with him, he ate up, and suddenly a dejectedugh came from the front. Ha ha ha ha Im going crazy. What are you what is your true identity? It was damseonmuk. He was in the most bewildered state he had ever seen. Like an ungreased chain, Dam Seon-mook barely moved his body and let out a trembling voice. Did you steal the intangible sword by just touching the opponent once? That said, I could tell. Dam Seon-mook lost the intangible sword due to the forced skill rental, an effect exclusive to the usurpers leather gloves. Still , I thought Dam Seon-Muk could also use the intangible sword, albeit clumsily, by using the original skill rather than the skill Its fun. They say its a holy relic that contains the divine power < Usurpation >. In fact, the usurpers leather gloves were worth enough to be called holy relics. Even if its not the level that uses the original divine authority < Seize >, wouldnt it be like the minor version? Thinking of that, I held the shing sword in my left hand and replied with a smile. Because I dont have the personality to brag about the cards in my hand. At those words, Dam Seon-muk suppressed his voice andughed, then opened his mouth. You mean you refuse to answer. under. Thats right. I would have done the same. and. But I can definitely feel that I used the power rted to the stoppage war. next moment. Then doesnt that at least mean that if I break your heart, my power will return? Chee Hee Hee-! Dam Seon-muk poured red steam from his body as if exploding, dyeing his eyes red. By operating the blood demon magic power to its extreme, it temporarily entered a runaway state. As a result, the disadvantages of the blood demon magic were maximized, and reason gradually began to disappear from Dam Seon-mooks eyes. DYou seem to be trying to use even the magic of the Blood Demon Artisan. Youd better be careful. If youre not careful, you could be fatally injured. Seeing that, Dam Chun-wu said so, and I nodded my head in agreement. It seems that way. The Blood Demon Singong was not a martial art without a master. This insane ability to increase blood and amplify physical abilities several times also had a downside. That too has a very fatal w. The downside is that it puts a very heavy mental burden on those who operate the blood demon magic. To be honest, magic isnt magic for nothing. ording to the knowledge he had previously learned from Baekhak Geomseon, magic was a forbidden fruit. As those who have mastered the magic arts grow, the more they grow, the bigger the abnormalities in their brains, and in the end, their minds are eaten away and self-destruct. Even if blood demon magic is a new technology, it does not deviate much from its logic. Of course, its out of the question because I have quite a few mental protection abilities such as the Myungkyungsu Power, so there are no disadvantages. hmm. I tilted my head and thought about it. What should I do? To be honest, Dam Seon-Muk itself was not very dangerous . Even if he can use swords and swords, in the end, Dam Seon Muk is just a mortal who cannot establish his own divinity. If you activate Divine Power after using Deification, the fight will end right away. However, the problem is that there are still about 4 hours left on the cooldown of Apotheosis, and it has to be recognized by Dam Seon-mook. Its difficult. Even if he newly acquired the intangible sword skill, the duration was not that long. The skill rental time is only 10 minutes. After that, Dam Seon Muk will use the Intangible Sword and push me to the defensive. So Mythic < Vampire Exorcist > is activated. Divine attack has the effect of < Cannot Regenerate >. Divine attack has the effect of < Exorcism >. The fight is longer than expected, so we need to finish it as quickly as possible. Before that, I was thinking of seeing the end of this < Bloodborne Ceremony > quest. *** You dont have toe up with aplicated strategy. Its enough to press down with maximum force. Currently, the greatest advantage given to me is an intangible sword that can be used as a skill. Because these three or four golden swords are making me stronger. Of course, there is no actual increase in stats This intangible sword raised other strengths apart from the strength of the body. I did not back down against demons. All stats increase by +10 due to the myth < Vampire Exorcist > All divine attacks are greatly strengthened while dealing with demons . was the leading role. Originally, there was a disadvantage that only one Shinhwa could be used at a time but I was able to partially ovee it with the exclusive effect of Myth ovep created by the Intangible Sword. < The Last Savior > to < The Vampire Exterminator > d. Its a betterbination than I thought. Being able to ovep even one myth was a huge advantage. As the different myths ovepped, the strength of the body soared. Even < Vampire Exorcist >s performance has been strengthened, probably because the fact that it deals with demons yed a big role. All of his stats increased and his divine attacks became stronger, just like when he faced the ancient devil in the giant treebyrinth. Originally, it was written with the intention of blocking the regenerative power of the Blood Demon Artisan, but its an unexpected benefit. But I just couldnt like it. After knowing that the intangible sword was a better skill than I thought, the tension rose. That would be the case too If Dam Seon-muk uses the Intangible Sword after the skill rental time is over, there would be no worst situation. I have to finish the fight within 10 minutes. In response, I made up my mind and immediately ran with the Grace of Wind activated. The authority Hyeolcheon Shimgong is strongly activated.] In addition, I also operated some of the Blood Demon Sacred Art, so my physical abilities improved even more. In fact, my movements are no longer visible to humans. But even so, Dam Seon-muks eyes were following me. Thats very certain. Aaaaaaaaaagh! I emitted divine power from the mind sword that had been shot before I knew it, evaporated it, and red at Dam Seon-muk. Are you saying that the difference in physical ability cant determine victory or defeat? It was absurd. So far, how many stats have you raised while climbing the tower, but you cant overwhelm them with your physical abilities? I realized that Moorims martial arts is more like a cheat key than I imagined. However, Dam Seon-mook did notpletely follow my movements. Its not like hes using the same movements as me. Thats why I wrote a heart sword. heart attack. Dam Seon-Muk followed the movement with his eyes and responded with a mind sword that could be used at the moment when his heart was beating. Actually, that body doesnt surpass me. However, the sword itself yed a very annoying role. Crackle! Its okay if you have one mind sword, but there are too many of them The number of mind swords that Dam Seon-mook sent out at once exceeded double digits. Even if the divine power strengthened by Shinhwa < The Last Savior > can offset the mind sword only by releasing it, at this point, even I will have a dy in canceling the mind sword. And if time is spent on offsetting the mind-geom, Dam Seon-muks actions will be freed. In fact, Dam Seon-muk stopped me for a moment with his heart sword, and then shed in the form of a half moon with a blood-colored sword wrapped around his sword. Chwaaaaaang! In response, I immediately swung the intangible sword that floated in the air as if facing it, and crashed into the sword. But the results were not so good. The intangible swords that collided with each other were broken so easily that it was absurd. The cause was in the nature of the rule change that Geomgang possessed. I forcibly downgraded even the power of the intangible sword and broke it as it is. Really Thats terrible. I felt like I knew why martial arts were training warriors like fanatics. But that was only for a moment. An eye for an eye for an eye. I did not lose against him and immediately released the sword sword in the form of a sh, erasing the bloody sword sword. However, the effect was not veryrge. Kwagwagwagwagwa-! Dam Seon-muk also used a heart sword because the sword river was blocked, and I had to deal with it ordingly. The battle process started repeating itself before I knew it. This means that the battle aspect is getting closer to a war of attrition. It certainly wasnt a green light. A war of attrition is the worst of the worst in a time-limited state. Sooner orter, the rental time for the intangible sword skill will end. Then I will be driven to the cliff by the intangible sword that Dam Seon-mook uses. Even if that wasnt the case, time would be dyed and all the remaining time on the 19th floor stage would flow, leading directly to the failure of the quest. The trouble was not long. After thinking about it, I remembered the additional activation ability of the intangible sword realized by the skill I had seen before. divine interference. I was thinking of betting on the effect that was said to be usable when the intangible sword generated in the air exceeded a certain amount. Anyway, if there is no solution to ovee this situation in an instant, the quest will fail. Is it all or nothing I was a little worried. In the end, I squinted my eyes and consumed a lot of holy power to create a lot of intangible swords in the air. The amount of divine power umted in my heart was reduced to less than half in the blink of an eye Nevertheless, I continued to create intangible swords without stopping, and the results were borne before long. The skill Intangible Sword is created a certain amount more, and the additional activation ability Divine Interference is used. And. The skill Intangible Sword gains the right to interfere with all divinities within 50m. The next moment. The divine < craving > of the 14th blood demon, Dam Seon-muk, is temporarily blocked. Seeing that all of Dam Seon-muks mind swords disappeared all at once due to divine interference, I smiled. Checkmate. *** Chow-! The line between winner and loser was drawn absurdly quickly. In a situation where he could not use Divinity, Dam Seon-muk was put on the defensive in less than a minute. I took advantage of that gap and immediately cut Dam Seon-mooks body, fatally wounding him. Due to the myth < The Vampire Exterminator >, Damseonmuk is also in a state where it is impossible to regenerate. With that, the match was over. Cool. Puff-. Dam Seon-mukughed, blood dripping from his mouth. But there was no remorse in those eyes. He smiled and muttered as if he had epted the result. Phhhhhh I guess I lost in the end It was fun I frowned at the reaction, as if the situation wasnt too bad. The administrator, the defeated sessor of the Blood Demon Cult, is greatly embarrassed by Dam Seon-mooks attitude. It was the same for the requester of this < Blood Ceremony > quest. How can a warrior who has reached the level of being able to handle a swordsman understand death so easily? But it wasnt long before I noticed through the emotions I felt in him. In the first ce, Dam Seon-muk had no intention of living. I was wondering why the next leader was handed over to an outsider. Didnt you have any intention of living in the first ce? it feels good. w. Thats right. I had no intention of living. Thats why I got along with your ridiculous tricks. But, as promised, I will give you the position of the next leader. I thought I had no children to take over anyway. I would be grateful if a master like you would ept it. Is it okay to just hand over the position of the next leader to someone else? I was dumbfounded, so I asked him, and Dam Seon-muk ate and answered. There is nothing to be done. Because I am the owner of the Blood Demon Religion. It doesnt matter where you hand over useless things. In fact, I was convinced when I saw the nuance that he was not very interested in the blood demon cult. Dam Seon-mook was not very attached to the position of the next leader. Really, he was content to give up this useless position and be able to dance with me. Thats a very big word too. As I was thinking about what to say to him, Dam Seon-muk smiled and spoke to me. You didnt kill me. Boredom is what killed me It was a really painful day. He continued to speak with his eyes gradually quieting. I lived my whole life with a longing for power, but when I became one of the absolute midfielders, I didnt feel the value of life. So I needed a ce to die. A ce where you can die after fighting more intensely than anyone else. And now is the time. You really are insane. For some reason, I thought they epted my nonsense too easily. More than I imagined, my hair was in a state of taste. Dam Seon-muk said with a gentle smile as he clicked his tongue. w. yes now im funny But feel it. You are of the same kind as me. If there is no desire, the power to live will disappear. ? Will you be able tough at me again in the future? What kind of cow is that As I was about to give an annoyed response to some voodoo-like sound, a system message suddenly appeared in my field of vision. Absorbed the spirit of the 14th blood horse, Dam Seon-muk. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won, bringing her 2.97% closer to ascension. From now on, the talents rted to martial arts of challenger Han Seong-yoon will greatly increase. It is nothing else Quest cleared . It is satisfied. The administrator, The Heir of the Blood Demon Cult, sighs in embarrassment and decides to pay the trial reward . Acquired the exclusive privilege #E-0001[Secret Shop] as a reward for the trial of the quest < Bloodborne Ceremony >. And. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated. By exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)], the reward level increases. 19th floor The special power Ghost Sacred Art (SS-), which is the reward for the < Blood Ceremony > quest, is strengthened to Ghost Sacred Art (SS+). The next moment. Go to the waiting room. Looking at the portal that appeared next, I calmed my eyes. Despite the sess of the quest he had hoped for, the feeling was strange. It is because Dam Seon-muks words, such as saying that I am of the same ss after seeing me, and that if there is no desire, the power to live disappears, are useless. What the hell was he trying to say? In the end, he extinguished the fire of life with a curse that was not like a curse. So there wasnt much to know. I didnt even want to think deeply about the meaning of Dam Seon-muks words. But one thing I was sure of. At least I dont think Ill end up yearning for my own death like you. Dam Seon-muk, now unable to hear, spilled the words as if muttering them, then moved on. Move to the waiting room. Finally You have entered the waiting room on the 20th floor . I reached the waiting room on the 20th floor that I had so longed for. Chapter 224 224. 20th floor (2) You have entered the waiting room on the 20th floor. The system is expanded. The district-levelmunity, which had been separated, is integrated into a dimension-integratedmunity. The team members assigned in the integration ordeal are now It does not discriminate against challengers belonging to other dimensions. The settlement rankings of the district level, which were separated separately, are also integrated. Now you can also view the settlement rankings of other dimensions. 20th Floor. This newly reached ss meant a lot to me. It is also true that it is ayer that can fulfill the long-cherished wish, which can be said to be an exclusive ordeal for the contract manager From now on, it was important that all systems were greatly expanded and had the same area as another formal climbing dimension. . Until now, I had only been told that this would happen to the Iron-Blooded Lord. I was experiencing the information I knew when I climbed the tower without knowing anything. At that time, all of my abilities were only double digits, and I didnt even know that divinity existed. Thats because I was inexperienced at that time. As time passed, he became aware of his talents, learned numerous skills, and established his divinity to reach this position. A small smile forms on his lips like dew when he recalls the past. It was because I realized that I had walked so many ways that I could not go back now. But that was only for a moment. Suddenly, the sound I heard from the previous floor resonated in my head as if it were a shback. Huh. yes now im funny But feel it. you are the same as me If there is no desire, the power to live will disappear. In the future that wille before long, will you be able tough at me? It was thest note left by Dam Seon-muk, the final boss of the 18th floor < Blood Ceremony > quest. He wasnt an enemy that could be defeated as hard as I thought, but nevertheless, the words he said did not disappear as if tickling my heart for some reason. But I shook my head away from the thought of deepening. It is a useless idea. He reigned as one of the absolute strongest within the Moorim dimension. So, you may havee to know boredom, but I am not in an environment where I can be so conceited. Its not enough that numerous deities are targeting me, so the most monstrous one among the ancient deities is looking for an opportunity. I patted him on the cheek lightly and dismissed my thoughts at once. I dont have time to think like this. That would be the case too The manager Iron-Blooded Lord is looking at you. The manager Baekhak Geomseon is looking at you. Its because the administrators eyes got stronger as they reached the 20th floor. Now that the managers have met the minimum qualifications to make their wishese true, they must be doing this. However, he had no intention of fulfilling the managers long-cherished wishes. Because I need to develop a little more strength now. So Its not toote to talk to the managers after the 20th floor ordeal is over. Now was the time to prepare to move forward. *** First of all, I checked the reward for clearing the 19th floor < Blood Ceremony > quest. The defeated sessor of the Blood Demon Cult had nothing else to say, so he didnt invite him to the managers realm. Thanks to that, I was able to get the quest clear reward right away without wasting time. The special power Ghost Magic is activated.] All energy is converted to a state of being blocked. The first reward received, the Ghost Spirit Art, was simply an authority thatpletely concealed power. Are you hiding your presence to the point where you cant feel all your power? Perhaps this is a divinity to see that he is barely hiding his power? In many ways, it seemed like it would be good to bring attention to opponents below a certain level. Even if it wasnt so, since all signs of energy had disappeared, it wouldnt be easy to detect even a godhead. It was a special power that really suited the word new technology. Im sure Ill use itter. As a result, I was satisfied that I had gained decent strength, and soon checked the remaining reward. The exclusive privilege E-0001 [Secret Shop] seemed like a good reward. That would be the case A secret shop that can only be essed with the exclusive authority given by the tower? Isnt this amazing without even seeing it? Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated. The administrator-only secret shop is opened. However, there was an unexpected wall. Challenger Seongyun Hansyer is not suitable for using the shop. ordingly, only [Category: Ability] can be used in the manager-only secret shop. Until a certainyer is reached, the manager-only secret shop The qualifications for use are considered insufficient. Because it is a secret shop that can be used with exclusive authority, the qualifications for use were deemed insufficient. At that, I let out a big sigh and smacked my lips. I never thought there would be restrictions like this. But that was only for a moment. You have entered the manager-only secret shop [category: Ability]. ?Strength [1] : 10000P ?Strength [1] : 10000P ?Agility [1] : 10000P ?Magic [1] : 10000P ?Endurance [1] : 10000P Looking at the system window that soon popped into my field of vision, my eyes lit up. Still, the name of the secret shop is definitely worth it. The manager-only shop was selling stats that could not be bought at regr shops. Of course, the price is more expensive than expected Even if its not, the point is overflowing in hand. In the first ce, it is better to obtain skills or items directly while climbing the tower, so I do not purchase them at the store. Theres no reason not to buy ability values. There was no hesitation because it was an opportunity to use a lot of unnecessary points. [50000] points have been paid to the manager-only secret shop. Strength has increased by 5. [50000] points have been paid to the manager-only secret shop . Put [50000] points in the manager-only secret shop Agility is 5 prizes Strength Stamina Agility Magical Endurance. I bought all the stats that can be bought at the manager-only secret shop. A total of 250,000 points were spent, but considering the strength of the body, it was not a waste. Its about to be fun at this point. Having thoroughly checked all the rewards, I smiled lightly. Now if I raise the level of divinity, Ill be able to deal with divinity before long. Im guessing, within a few floors, wouldnt it be possible to have the ability to repel one godhead? Of course, it would be possible to use all the abilities, but even so, the thought that I would be able to defeat the godhead increased my anticipation. Ill have some funter. After muttering that, I immediately turned off the manager-only secret shop. Thest thing to do is look at the system extensions. Now that all rewards have been checked, it is time to look at the newly expanded system. *** Suddenly, as I entered the waiting room on the 20th floor, these system expansion messages came to my mind. I said that all the dimensions in the tower are a unifiedmunity Then the system said that themunity itself was now fused with other dimensions as well. This means thatmunication with other dimensions is also possible . It was worth it. Since all challengers have reached the 20th floor, there will be no low-level conversation like before. The challengers of the other world that I have seen so far have one thing certain about their skills, even if their mouths look the same. Even as I climbed the tower, I ran into a few thoughtful challengers. Then, from now on, there will be a possibility that you will be able to ess high-level information from themunity. In response, I browsed themunity nervously. What conversations are going on in amunity where all dimensions are integrated? And You have entered the formal climbing dimensionmunity. Difficulty C Hard 20th floormunity [Channel: C-1721] (4187/5000) Its a dimensionalmunity. Its this guy and that guy and its just worms that havent fallen off. Why are there so many filthy Murim people? -Three Jaegeombeop to be the strongest in the midfield (Moorim): Are you a bug? oh oh oh oh oh oh oh lol? Isnt the life of the 8901st in the settlement ranking a filth like a bug? -Scheduled to be the 71st Aura Sword Master (Ares): heh. The final rankings were just unlucky. The rankings of ounts are all errors due to trial and error. Bugs. -Three-talented swordsmanship to be the strongest in the midfield (Moorim): Yes~ Even then, you are a scumbag bug under me~. -Scheduled for 71st Aura Sword Master (Ares): befitting a challenger belonging to an uncivilized dimension, he gives a lot of hints that he has not learned. it looks dirty Block all your chats. -Three Jaegeombeop to be the strongest in the midfield (Moorim): He added a bad excuse with the fact that he jumped out of fear. -The Volcanic Life of Eating Raw (Moorim): Oh fuck, these aurora worms are fucking shit again. What are idiots who dont even know what geomitis is talking about? C Up to the strongest midfielder with the three-jaed sword method (Moorim): Recognized~. What about knights? Those who bluff to the brim dont have any skills. Raw Volcanic Life (Murim): Lets just ignore the aura bugs that only live on snouts. By the way, do you know that there has been a change in the first ce in the settlement rankings? -Three Jaegeombeop to be the strongest in the midfield (Moorim): ? Isnt the ranking of the settlement of ounts upied by that crazy monster? But what about change? C Eating raw volcanic life (Moorim): I dont know too well, but did you say it was at the earth level? A challenger from that dimension stole the first ce. -Three Jaegeombeop to be the strongest in the midfield (Moorim): Is this crazy? Pacheonwangs settlement grade is broken? So, isnt that SSS+ ss? crazy really -Scheduled to be the 71st Aura Sword Master (Ares): Making a fuss. The final ranking is just the level of how well you are gifted with luck. The level of being shaken by something like that is ridiculous. -Three Jaegeombeop to be the strongest in the midfield (Moorim): You said you would block this aurora cub, but until now you have been secretly listening to the conversation. -Scheduled to be the 71st Aura Sword Master (Ares): No. I was just about to block it. I had never been secretly watching that wormy conversation. -The life of the volcanic wave that eats raw (Moorim): Haha~ Ah~ Yes~ You must~ Okay, so go away~. -Scheduled to be the 71st Aura Sword Master (Ares): Its real! You fucking bastards! Dont talk like that! -Even the undead are priests (Qalian): tsk tsk. These are poor souls. If I died once and came back to life as an undead, I wouldnt be swept away by emotions. If we meetter, I will kill you and heal you. Hung. After reading the contents of themunity for a while, I immediately closed themunity window. I just want to pretend I didnt see this. Still, since the challengers reached the 20th floor, I expected them to have constructive conversations with each other. The reality was not as beautiful as the ideal. no. It goes beyond the level of not being beautiful, to the point where you can just call it ugly. I immediately turned my attention away, feeling my head pounding. Come to think of it, the settlement rankings were also consolidated by dimension. And then, instead of amunity that was not constructive, I checked the ranking after a long time. 20th Floor Ordeal Settlement Board -1st ce Hunter (SSS+) [Earth] -2nd ce Wave Emperor (SSS) [Woorim] -3rd ce Seir Nagrat (SS+) [Ares] -4th ce Old Gray Knight (SS-) [Ares] -5th Sword Master (SS-) [Moorim] -6th Star Spear (SS-) [Moorim] -7th Meteor Dance (S+) [Moorim] -8th Undead are priests (S) [ Qalian] However, even this did not change much. It doesnt change that youre number one on the 20th floor. If I had to find a difference, it was that all of the Earth level challengers had disappeared from the rankings. It was also notable that most of those who had established themselves as high rankers were from the Moorim dimension. But that was all. Realizing that there was nothing to take the time to look at, I turned my attention away from the final rankings. Instead, as on the previous floor, the questmand was invoked. View challenger Han Seong-yoons quest. Its nothing else If you clear one of the previously reserved quests, youll be in the waiting room on the 21st floor in no time. It is because the desire to go to themon area on the 21st floor, where the god of proof is said to be waiting, has be stronger. There is also a curiosity that I want to hear more about my future appearance that I have seen in the past. There was also something like that because I wanted toplete the authority to increase the reward so that I could be stronger faster while climbing the tower. There arent as many powers that can elerate growth in the tower as much as the right to increase rewards. I dont know anything else, but I need to upgrade the right to increase the reward in its entirety. But that thought was soon shattered by the ensuing message. Beep-! Since the 20th floor ordeal is not an individual ordeal, it is an integrated ordeal, so it is impossible to rece the ordeal. I frowned at him, but I could understand it to some extent. Presumably, the Tower is hoping forpetition or cooperation with other dimensions. That way, the candidates you choose will grow quickly. And most of the time, the tower makes aposition thatpetes with each other. In a word, this integration ordeal means that it is apetitive ordeal that cannot be skipped by something like a quest. I cant help it. So, I sat down on the waiting room floor and started rummaging through my inventory. Originally, he would have taken on the 20th floor integration ordeal without hesitation. This time, he couldnt show such overwhelming confidence. It was worth it. Because currently I cant use apotheosis. I have to stay in the waiting room at least until the deification cooldown ends. And it was decided how to spend that time. Exactly Ind magic technique Rating: S+ Attack speed +10% Lightsword Emperor Han Seong-yoon is given a divine < harmony > in the form of a ne containing power. A holy relic. This is a jewel favored by the lightsaber who can summon and handle a de made of light by consuming holy power. Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect de of Light when used. Creates a de of light that automatically tracks the enemy with divine power, and when it hits, prates some of the enemys defensive abilities. Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect sacred storage when used. Current divinity By storing, it is possible to arbitrarily absorb and acquire the divine < Harmony > embedded in the item . Chapter 225 225. 20th floor (3) < Harmony >. Its the divinity I received from the lightsaber I encountered on the 17th floor ordeals hidden stage Until now, Ive been putting off absorbing the divinity of < Harmony > that dwells within the ind skill. It was worth it. It was said that in the process of absorbing the divine < harmony >, the ego could copse. Because of that, I decided not to touch the sacredness of the lightsaber until I reached a certain level. But now that is over. Since Ive umted enough strength, there shouldnt be too much trouble even if I absorb the divine < Harmony >. After I got my hands on the ninjutsu technique, I grew up quickly through numerous incidents. Now, even against the main body of the Godhead, it can withstand to some extent. So, I was sure that even if I got my hands on a new divinity, my mind wouldnt copse. As he gazed at the ind magic trick in his hand, a profound voice resonated in his head. DCould it be that you intend to acquire the sacred < Harmony > right here? It was Damcheonwoo. He said something disapprovingly, but I nodded my head and answered calmly. Thats right. I feel like I have the right to absorb it now. It probably wont be too much of a problem. C Talking nonsense. Why is there no problem? If you cant hold on to the divine < harmony > and are eroded by the lightsabers evil thoughts, the worst situation will be D However, Damcheonwu didnt say anything, as if he didnt like that answer. I couldnt even breathe properly. I was more worried than I thought about absorbing divinity prematurely. I smiled and said at the anxiety of Damcheonwoo flowing from the Blood Demon Sword. There is nothing to worry about. DWhy are you so impatient? The growth rate itself is sufficient even now. If you do this, you may trip over rocks and fall. I know the level of risk. But I dont have time. You know who my enemy is. DBut its not a problem that can be solved in such a hurry. At least if you get the divinity < Harmony >, you can handle at least one divinity. It wasnt a lie. In fact, I believed that if I defeated the usurper, acquired the divine < Rules >, and obtained the divine < Harmony >, I would be able to defeat the divine status as well. It was worth it. Every time I acquire a new divinity, I quickly be stronger. Even if he had just acquired a godhood, the usurper was certainly strong. Even so, he did not fall behind and won a head-to-head match, so if he got his hands on the divine < Harmony >, he would surely be able to defeat other gods. Even if I learn a new divinity, I can create another Power Skill. To be honest, there were plenty of reasons to learn the sacred < Harmony > right here. DWhoa. yes do what you want Anyway, I cant break your stubbornness. Dam Chun-wu also said that as if he was going to take a step back. DI hope it goes the way you think. its something to watch out for Youre overconfident in yourself more than you think. Thats not wrong. Certainly, I am overconfidentpared to before. But it didnt matter too much. It was because I realized that I stillck a lot through the ancient deities I encountered in the giant treebyrinth. But paradoxically, because of thatck, I had to spur my growth with confidence. Because if growth slows down, it will be difficult to maintain this life. Its still going to be difficult to deal with not only ancient deities, but also deities like the god of battle. At that, I dyed my eyes with aspiration, and then I firmly gripped the ind magic technique in my hand. and. The Divinity Store, the exclusive effect of the ind magic technique (S+), is activated. The divine absorption function is activated by detecting the presence of the divine < harmony > that dwells within the ind magic skill technique (S+). The next moment. The remaining thoughts of the divine < harmony > within the seismic skill (S+) start synchronizing with the challenger Han Seong-yoon . *** In the blink of an eye, thendscape in my field of vision changed. From the deste waiting room to a field with fresh vegetation under the moonlight. It feels like maybe only the mind has shifted but I couldnt figure out the situation properly. What is this again? Originally, when collecting divinities through necromancy, there was no such procedure. All the divinities obtained through necromancy settled into the divinity in the body so neatly that it seemed foreign. However, the acquisition of divine < harmony > was different. It doesnt seem to directly hit the mind right now, but useless procedures such as synchronization were infiltrated. Of course, since I have to stay in the waiting room for a few hours, it doesnt matter. Ill have to refer to itter when I learn divinity with powers other than necromancy. If this worked in a space other than the waiting room, it would be quite a headache. As I was imprinting such new information in my head, the scene suddenly changed as if the focus of the camera had changed. and. uh? I opened my eyes to the new scene. That would be the case because a tower boasting an overwhelming size that seemed to reach the sky was built over there. I knew instinctively what this was. Could that be the Tower of Trials? Of course, I know that this is a leap forward. But a tower-like structure seen by the divine < Harmony > of the lightsaber festival that made a contract with the tower? It wouldnt be an unfounded leap. It could have been something like the appearance of the tower recorded in the divine < Harmony >. It was then. -Why does God have to exist? The moment I heard the dry womans voice resounding like an echo. There was a crackling sound, indicating that they were walking in the meadow, and a woman wearing a brown robe appeared in the camera-like field of vision. In response, I quickly tried to use the ess to information, but the attempt soon failed. I cant use any abilities in this mental space. The exclusive authority itself did not respond at all. More than anything, the authority to read information that can urately find out about the other person is jammed. To be honest, I felt a bit disappointed, but that feeling didntst very long. epting the situation right away, I observed the woman who came into my field of vision. That he was wearing a brown robe and that he had long blond hair that came down to the hood despite the robe. Other than these two, I didnt know much. To God, life is nothing more than a bug. So I decided to listen to her. It seemed like that would give me as much information as possible. In fact, through her words, I was able to obtain new information. God is only blinded by greed for faith. They dont care about nobody in the world. If I can gain faith, I will do anything. First of all, this woman is not a lightsaber. The voice of the lightsaber that I had heard on the 17th floor stage was not like this. Gender is also male. So there was a high probability that this was not the memories of the lightsaber. I guess There is no true God anywhere. I thought this might be a record of someone rted to the tower. even seeing that he resents the existence of God, its definitely like that. ording to what I found out so far, the tower was a transcendent will to wish for the obliteration of divine beings. So, the woman in sight is probably one of the administrators or someone rted to the tower. Listening to the actual conversation, it seemed that my guess was correct. The gods forget their duties and only covet each others power and bite each other. The gods, who are nothing more than fake, repeat self-made nature in order to generate more faith. It causes disasters by itself and solves disasters by itself. Someone has to purify this rotten water. She said it as if she were talking sermons, revealing her hostility toward God. Also very intense. There were also quite a few interesting things among them. For example, it was so that the gods caused disasters and solved disasters themselves in order to gain faith. Of course I got it. Maybe not a bad way to endlessly stimte peoples faith. If people see how God handles all kinds of disasters, they will be able to supply and demand a lot of faith. However, I didnt like the fact that it caused a disaster for the sake of it. Its not an incident that happened inevitably in the first ce, its because hemitted the work himself. As he listened to her enthusiasm to some extent, something unexpected happened. The blonde woman turned and stood facing my fixed line of sight. So, I need an existence that can kill all gods. and. Also, an omnipotent and omnipotent transcendent with power that surpasses all gods. next moment. I hope this wishes true as it is. My eyes met the eerily shining green eyes beyond the brown robe, and my vision was colored white. *** Synchronization with the residual thoughts in the divine < Harmony > failed. All residual thoughts in the divine < Harmony > are destroyed and reced with potential. Achievement Brainwashing Resistance achieved. All stats increase by 1. Wow! As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt an indescribable nausea and covered my mouth. Should I call it unpleasant, as if someone had been groping through every nook and cranny of my head? An unbearable dizziness hit his whole body. I salivated at that, barely regaining my focus and checking the system messages. Brainwashing resistance achievement It seems that there was a function that could even brainwash inside the sacred < Harmony >. Presumably, since the synchronization failed, there was a possibility that this synchronization function itself could be a pseudo-erosion phenomenon caused by divinity. I thought it might be like this, but its so dumbfounded that I actually got hit I was annoyed though. I never imagined that I would be brainwashed to induce the annihtion of divine beings so openly. At that, I staggered and raised my body, and soon the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hummed. DThats not a stupid thing to say. Hmm. Have you suffered greatly from the residual thoughts of the divine < Harmony >? Dam Chun-woo said that as if he had predicted it to some extent, and I replied with my back leaning against the wall in the waiting room. Its not a level of major damage, but its a level of mental damage that can be recovered with a short rest. -Right. w. Look at it. Didnt I say that I should be careful about acquiring other divinities? . DUse this as a lesson. I didnt have much to say. Even though I knew the risk, I ventured into divine acquisition with the thought that I would be able to endure it. In fact, I was able to handle the risk, but I couldnt help but overdo it. Perhaps the residual thoughts of the brainwashing function embedded in the divine < Harmony > were set up by the Tower Unexpectedly, it was found that the Tower was not merely showing generosity to candidates. Of course, this never happened when I was learning the Divine < Death >, so it might be an event unique to the Divine < Harmony >. In any case, this was not a good sign. Theres nothing wrong with assuming an unknown future situation. Keeping in mind to pay more attention to the divinity obtained from the tower, I immediately checked the time. About a day had passed while learning the divine < Harmony >. It seems that the cooldown of deification is all over now. So now it was my turn to finish the work that had to be done before entering the trial. I absorbed the spirits I had umted just before and turned them into ability values. Absorbs the spirit of the 14th blood demon Dam Seon-muk and permanently increases stats. Muscle strength increased by 9. Agility increased by 8. Stamina increased by 9. Magic power increased by 8. It has increased. Durability has increased by 9. And then. The authority Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Fortune temporarily rises violently. At the same time, suddenly, the Protection of the Hero is activated and an unexpected change urs. Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the 14th blood demon, Dam Seon-muk. Its nothing else The skill Intangible Sword (SS-) is created. 19th Floor < Blood Ceremony > He acquired the intangible sword skill he had borrowed temporarily from a quest. I never thought my luck would suddenly rise with the protection of the warrior. At that, I immediately smiled and checked the skill window. As we already know, the skill level has been inherited at about 17%. I felt satisfied that I had definitely inherited the skill proficiency umted by Dam Seon-muk during my lifetime. Have you built up enough strength with this? Acquiring the divine < Harmony > was not enough, and even acquiring the intangible sword was a huge benefit indeed. So Are you willing to ept the 20th floor ordeal? Now it was time to clear the 20th floor ordeal. Chapter 226 226. 20th floor (4) Do you want to participate in the 20th floor ordeal? I agreed with the system message that popped into my view, but I couldnt enter the ordeal as I thought. Challengers are being matched Please wait until matching ispleted. Currently matched number of challengers C 1001/3000 A message appears asking if there are any conditions for thebined trial position, and the trial position is in the process of being matched. it is dyed Ah. It was the message he had seen before, when he had only climbed the tower a few floors before. Apparently, this unification ordeal seemed to be arge-scalepetition between different challengers. The result of losing a little steam. If the matching is not done anyway, the ordeal is meaningless, so there is no choice but to wait. However, I did not intend to sit back and rx like this. Now that this has happened, shall we take care of the remaining tasks? It was worth it. It was because there were two more slots that could be used to create Power Skills while obtaining divine < Rules > and < Harmony >. Competition and cooperation between other challengers is the main thing, so I dont think its very dangerous . It would be right to challenge the trial after learning the authority skill in this ce. The power skill was originally meant to be created after careful consideration, but suddenly I had time, so I thought deeply. But that was only for a moment. I cant help it. Anyway, it wouldnt take too much time to create a power skill right here. That would be the case too Its because its decided what to get if you acquire the Authority skill. In fact, without hesitation, I quickly selected the candidates for the Power skill. Unique Divine Authority < Transcendence (SSS+) > is activated. You can bind your ability to Divinity to cancel the limit. Freely choose the ability to enter the transcendence possible state up to [3/5]. and. The skill Ashen Blood (A-) is bound to the Divine < Transcendence > and the limit is lifted. The skill Starlight Starlight (S-) is bound to the Divine < Transcendence > and the limit is lifted. Next moment . The skill Ashen Blood (A-) is attributed to Divinity and converted into the Authority skill Ashen Blood (A-). The skill Starlight Starlight (S-) is attributed to Divinity and converted into the Authority skill Starlight (S-). Changed from Skill to Authority, all parts of the skill configuration that correspond to limits have been changed. The divine power in the heart swayed once and a power skill was created. In response, I immediately rolled up the sleeve of my left arm and quickly lowered the de. Kagagak! There was a sound of scratching stones, probably because of the extremely high durability value, but the wounds were clearly marked enough to be seen. And ordingly, the gray blood skill was activated. The power skill Ashen Blood is activated. Regenerative power increases ording to the amount of holy power consumed. Body regenerative power increases by 400% and immunity to all non-regenerative abilities Originally, the durability value and body damage The regeneration efficiency was increased by . Now, without any minor conditions, you can increase the regeneration power by consuming the divine power as you wish. Even the pain resistance effect from the skill disappeared without a trace, but instead became immune to all non-regenerative abilities. As I thought, its a good effect. Then, I activated the holy light that I had been using steadily until now as an authority skill. The power skill skill Starlight is activated, and starlight containing the divine < death > is created. Surprisingly, not much has changed about the starlight. At most, its about being able to put divinity into the Holy Light skill. Even that was less valuable than using divine power directly. But I could feel it. It became an authority skill, and a skill that originally did not grow has evolved into a form that can grow. Perhaps that alone would be of great benefit, so there was noint. Satisfied with that, I soon finished the skill check and turned my eyes elsewhere. Its not different Come to think of it, I have to learn the martial arts of the lightsaber It was because I suddenly remembered a nameless secret in my inventory. However, I didnt intend to see the secret level right away when I remembered it. It wasnt that I didnt have that much time, and it was because I thought there might be a trap for something like the divine < Harmony >. Well, if you finish the 20th floor ordeal, you will be given time anyway, so it wont matter if you learn itter. And then, at just the right time, a system message popped up saying that the matching was caught. The challengers have been matched. It seems that the challengers have finally gathered enough to proceed with the trial Im looking forward to it. Now is the time to really challenge the 20th floor ordeal. *** After crossing the portal created in the center of the waiting room, a system message popped up as usual. Enter the 20th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Hard The theme of this ordeal is Role-ying Combat. I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result after the penance he/she chooses. This 20th floor integrated ordeal The subject matter was the unheard of and unseen concept of role-yingbat. Are they fighting each other while taking on certain roles? I couldnt imagine it because I had to use something like role-ying in the battle. So, rather than hastily guessing about the contents of the ordeal, I started looking around. It didnt take long to find out about the trial starting location. Is it a fortress? It was worth it. No matter where you look, this ce has a look that should be called a fortress. Of course, for some reason, the building itself was built of ck bricks, unlike normal forts, but there was no time to question that fact. Start the 20th floor ordeal. Remaining time C 1 day Order breakthrough condition C carry out the mission appropriately for the assigned role within the remaining time Trial failure condition C challenger death or the end of the remaining time Trial Breakthrough Reward C All stats +20 Trial Failure Penalty C Death This is because the 20th floor ordeal started right away. However, when I read the details of the ordeal that popped up in the system message, I frowned. This is because no matter where you look at the content of the trials, you cant see anything like cooperation with other challengers. I called 3,000 challengers to the same trial, but there is no such thing as a team member? In short, this 20th floor trial means that there is a very high probability that it will be held as an individual exhibition I dont know why the tower prefers such a needlessly messy method. Rather, it would have been better to gather hundreds of people in the same ce and have them fight right away. Even though there were about 3000 challengers gathered, it was strange that no sign was felt within the fort. I dont know what the 20th floor ordeal was thinking like this. I felt a sense of alienation from him, but I couldnt do anything, so I started walking. After walking for a while and looking inside the fort, I was able to obtain one additional piece of information. It is not different that this fort looks like a pce. Its not very meaningful information Its embarrassing that I dont know why. It was not enough that it was all ck, and it was decorated in a form close to the royal pce, so I felt deja vu. And that sense of dj vu soon moved to a ce like the terrace in the royal pce and acquired a sense of reality. That would be the case too Is that a lie? It was because I could see the challengers crossing thend where no one knew. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Until now, I had wondered why I hadnt seen so many challengers around Now I could understand why. In addition, the reason why the team members were not assigned. Its nothing else The role currently assigned to challenger Han Seong-yoon is [Demon King]. In this war, challenger Han Seong-yoon must defeat all enemies single-handedly to achieve her goal. [Saint] [Hero] ] Kill the challenger who ys the role of the [Pope] to win the war. Depending on how well you performed the mission, the [Role ying Battle Achievement Rate] will be recorded. Until the end of the trial, [Role] If the [ying battle achievement rate] is below 70%, the trial is considered a failure. In this 20th floor trial, I was assigned a single role without a team. Thats very important too. Once I realized that, things quickly started to make sense. Im guessing that the people running over there are probably from the camp opposite to my role. I smiled dejectedly at him. Unreasonable ordeals that are absurdly unreasonable are now appearing as if they are eating Even though it is unlucky that the trials always be difficult . felt Thats proof that absurd situations happen so often that you can adapt. But the sadness was only momentary. I cant help it. Whatever it is, there are additional rewards to be gained in this situation. The divine authority deification is activated. It bes possible to exercise the divine authority ording to the potential divinity. The potential divinity is < transcendence > < death > < immortality > < reversal > < observation > < discipline > < harmony > . So [The only choice is to be the demon king. ] Now its time to rampage based on the results of growth. *** Myth < Last Savior > is activated. The effect of < Salvation > is activated. All stats are permanently increased by 1. The effect of < Savior > is activated. Activated. Currently, there are 54779 followers, so the divine power is greatly enhanced. In the blink of an eye, a golden divinity enveloped his entire body, and his spirit level rose dramatically. Is it because the basic spirit level was raised even with the Ascension effect attached to the mythological < Possibility of Transcendence >? In the previous battle with the usurper, it seemed to be stronger than when he used Apotheosis. In fact, Dam Chun-wu also reacted as if he felt it. D Huh. To think that divinity could be this strong in such a short amount of time. Great, great. I smiled at him and replied. [Its strange if you win against a godhead and dont be this strong. ] The usurper didnt deal with too many myths, but he was still a fairly powerful opponent. So it was right that the victory reward was high. Even after a short period of time, I defeated Dam Seon-Muk in the < Blood Ceremony > quest on the 19th floor. It was only natural that he would elerate his growth since he had dealt with many strong enemies. Even on the 18th floor stage, the number of followers is still steadily increasing. In addition, the divine power of Shinhwa < The Last Savior > gets stronger as time passes. Of course, now the growth trend is not shown in noticeable figures. Gather dust and call it Taishan. These will one day be of great help to me. After thinking about that, I activated my mighty skill while watching the challengers advancing while shaking the ground. The power skill skill Star Light is activated, and starlight containing divine < death > is created. Hwaaa-! The holy light, which was newly transformed into a power skill, was emitting a dark red light more intense than before. And that too while preserving the divinity < death >. Presumably, those who are touched by the light of this holy light will die. [Lets start by reducing the number by half. ] After clearing half of the needlessly many challengers, it will be much easier to search for [Saint], [Hero], or [Pope]. Because there will be no one who can protect them. At that, I smiled lightly and soon fired the starlight as if waving my hand, and the starlight elerated greatly and rushed into arge army. But something was strange. self. [What else is this] Suddenly, the sacred power in the Holy Light shook noticeably and became unstable. and. Starlight that contains divinity. Be ashes and disappear. Next moment. A magician wearing a sky-blue divinity appeared from the sky The power skill Starlight disappears due to the divinity < Sword Spirit >. A voice containing the divinity resounded, and the starlight disappeared without leaving any form. . [ under. ] To that, I muttered coldly with my eyes narrowed. [Funny. ] Its nothing else [I never thought Id meet a candidate other than me right away in the trials on the 20th floor.] The inexperienced God of Words looks at you andughs at you. Among the challengers, a candidate who received divinity from the tower like me appeared. Chapter 227 227. 20th floor (5) Candidates are those who have been chosen by the tower. And all of these candidate beings acquire divinity suitable for themselves from the tower. Of course, I chose the divinity < transcendence > and rejected the path the tower had chosen Nevertheless, the divinity < death > remained clear in my heart. Perhaps a lot would have changed if I had chosen Divine < Death > on the 17th floor. so i knew The wizard who suddenly appeared from the sky and wore a splendid robe was the candidate chosen by the tower. It was worth it. Despite the status of a challenger, to what extent did you have the status of a god? This can only be interpreted as meaning that he is one of the candidates chosen by the tower. Its just The inexperienced God of Words is looking at you . Can I grow to that extent if I receive the divinity given by the original tower? I continued thinking with my eyes closed. It was worth it. Because the magician called the god of the spirit of the word right in front of me is of a very high level. Comparing it with pure divine power, there is no difference between me and me who did not use the myth < The Last Savior > . [ . ] Interesting is interesting. Even though his actual abilities arent that high, I never thought hed have such a high level as a god. Of course, since it was a divinity given by the tower, it was understandable, but it was still heterogeneous. If I had chosen the divine < death > instead of the divine < transcendence >, would I have risen to such a high level? Its a topic I want to think about for a long time in many ways, but I havent been given a lot of time to think about it. Its not different-. Allies within a certain area are greatly strengthened by the divine < Lord of Words >. All who follow me will gain the power they desire. ] Many challengers have been strengthened into sky-blue divinities by the divine power, < Sword Spirit >. And that wasnt all. He sprinkled sky-blue divinity in the sky and then spoke with strength in his pronunciation. very strong too. As long as I see it, evil over there will not flourish. The divine < Sword Spirit > forcibly activates the Shinhwa < One-sided ck-and-white logic >. The Demon King will eventually meet its end by the hero. The divinity < Lord of Words > forcibly activates the Shinhwa < False Causality >. So, gentlemen, dont worry and deal with that bad thing. The divine < Spirit > forcibly activates the Shinhwa < War Seeker >. Seeing that, I widened my eyes. [Myth ovep? ] Originally, it is normal for Shinhwa to be able to use only one at a time, even if it is a god. Of course, there will be exceptions, but myth stacking abilities such as intangible swords arentmon, so stacking myths was almost impossible. But wasnt that the case with the divine < Eonryeong >? The God of Words forcibly activates and oveps various myths just by muttering a few words. And It was defined as wrong by the Shinhwa < one-sided ck-and-white logic >. Challenger Han Seong-yoons all abilities decrease by 80. The possibility of defeat greatly increases by the Shinhwa < False Causality >. Challenger Han Seong-yoon takes more damage from those who assume the role of [Hero]. Mind interference ability is disabled by Shinhwa < War Seeker >. Challenger Han Seong-yoons wide area skill The output is greatly reduced. The result was so outstanding that the word overwhelming was appropriate. [Its amazing. ] Seriously I thought it was the height of irrationality to receive so many debuffs. But surprisingly, I didnt feel a sense of danger. Instead, all the blood in my body heats up without knowing why. I smiled at him and strongly raised the divine power in my body. So-so-so-! The authority Winter King is activated automatically when the conditions are met. All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. Even that was not enough, and the ground waspletely frozen. Even if the output of wide-area skills was reduced with < The Seeker of War >, a myth written by the God of Words, it was possible to create an ice field with divinity. Oh, the ice sticks to my feet and wonte off! shit! Try melting this! Damn it! Why doesnt it melt even if I use me! Aaaaaaa! crazy! Poetry is divine power! This is ice imbued with divine power! With this, the advance of the challengers has been dyed to some extent. So [Wouldnt be bad for a new divinity. ] This ice field will take the ce of my holy realm. A new rule is created in the sacred zone by the divine < rule >. From now on, the tide of war is reversed. *** Seir Nagrat. Based on the 20th floor, a person with the 3rd highest settlement grade among challengers in all dimensions. He was a rare mage in the Ares dimension, where there were many knights. It also handles the unknown magic called the Spirit of the Word. Eonryeong? You control mana just by talking? Do you really think that low quality is magic? But he was not recognized by anyone. The unknown magic that kept the mystery was holding back Seir Nagrats ankle. It was worth it. In a world where regr magic was already well known, new magic could not be viewed very favorably. In fact, the word magic Seir Nagrat learned did not have a high value. Spell expression speed, magic power consumptionpared to ability, lower practicality than existing magic, etc They say its an unknown magic, but it only has huge drawbacks. Alternatively, I dont even know what the advantage of thenguage is. ha. The Word School cannot be counted as a formal school or even a mystic school. -The spirit of the word is not magic. Its just fake magic pretending to be magic. So dont go anywhere and call me a wizard. The worldughed at the path pioneered by Seir Nagrat, calling it rubbish. Not only the same wizards, but also the knights who were outsiders. Seir Nagrat trembled and swore an oath. He said that he would prove the value of the magic of the spirit of the spirit by reaching the ultimate state with the magic of the spirit of the spirit. And did heaven grant that wish? The Tower of Trials pays tribute to Seir Nagrat. The Tower of Trials has selected all suitable people in the Ares dimension. Please select a difficulty level . One day, Seir Nagrat was chosen by the tower to pave a new path. Acquired numerous skills, acquired numerous powers, and eventually attained divinity. The divine < Eonryeong > boasted tremendous power as if tofort him who had suffered so far. Seir Nagrat was able to gain new faith by seeing the brightly shining sky-blue divinity. Themand is not wrong. Other magic is strange. I nothing is wrong. The divine < Lord of Words > is a power befitting the supreme. So, while climbing the tower, I will prove the value of the Word Spirit by defeating everything with this Word Spirit and bing strong enough to suppress the Divine Spirit. that I would never be so despised like that again. He would prove that the spirit of the word magic is the apex of all magic by climbing the tower and killing all the gods. Seir Nagrat made that decision. The Divine < Spirit > is omnipotent. And he thought that the divinity < Sword Spirit > had that much potential. What other divinities can do can be done with < Sword Spirit >, and even without it, < Sword Spirit > has tremendous versatility. He even became a god the moment he obtained the Divine Spirit. Of course, the modifier immature is still attached to the god, but it is a considerable advantage that he became a god right away through the divinity given by the tower. Therefore, I thought that a challenger of the same level would never be defeated. Yes, it must have been. But Why did things turn out like this? A strange thing happened. [What the hell is this] Seir Nagrat was shocked to see what had happened on the battlefield. It was because the battlefield was in a state where ice containing dark red divinity had spread as if taking over the whole area. On the 20th floor, while taking on the role of the [Hero], he used countless powers against his opponent, the [Demon King]. The opponent who ys the role of [The Demon King] is also one of the candidates chosen by TOP. So, sparing no effort, I put numerous restrictions on him at once. [Im sure I almost sealed the wide-area technology with the Shinhwa < War Seeker >!? ] It was not enough to extinguish the technique fired by the divine < Spirit >, so the myths were ovepped. Even if it is the same divinity, it is a level that cannot be endured. However, the opponent ignored all those restrictions as if they were meaningless. Its very simple too. Even A new rule is created in the sacred area by the divine < Rule >. Rule 1. In the sacred area, you are not affected by external attacks at all. Rule 2. Challengers who enter the sacred area Above, the [role] assigned to the ordeal on the 20th floor appears. Rule 3. A challenger who enters the sacred zone bes difficult to destroy the ice zone. He even attempted a counterattack with a unique divinity never seen before. There are only three simple rules. If you follow these instructions, this icy sacred ground will not be easily destroyed. All attacks made outside the sacred ground are destroyed, and the sacred ground itself has destruction resistance. And that wasnt all. The role that the challenger Seir Nagrat yed in the trials on the 20th floor is the [Hero]. This divinity < Rules > even interfered with the systemic part. [Theres no way this would be possible even with the use of themandments] Seir Nagrat gnashed his teeth at the divine < Rules > that was several times superior to the versatility of themandments. Divine < Emperor > being defeated by the divine < Rules >? Couldnt admit it. [No no I cant do that] He shook his red hair and his mad eyes shed. [Theres no way a divinity that clings to the rules is superior to the spirit of the word! ] At that, Seir Nagrat looked at Han Seong-yoon, who was standing there with golden divinity wrapped around him, and shouted. Magical power! Drive out and destroy the divinity dwelling in the ice field! However His words continued to the end and there was nothing that led to the activation of the divine power < Eonryung >. It was worth it. next moment. Kkwajijijijikjik! The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing the divine < death > is created. The dark red starlight became a diagonal line and pierced his body. *** Eonyeong (`). To be honest, this divinity that turns words into power was wonderful. You will be free to use your abilities ording to the situation, and you will be able to use numerous tactics. However, there was still a weakness in thenguage. Its nothing else [Its a problem that I have to tell you what to do in advance. ] Because it is anguage, the condition of use itself should directly tell you what to do. Thats why the weakness is exposed like this. In fact, creating an ice field and using the divine < Rules > was close to a trick. Its enough to create conditions that bother my nerves as much as possible and use the divinity to remove them. The weakness of the Divine < Sword Spirit > is that it says what it is doing, and when it speaks, it cannot say anything else. Actually ] At the same time as he was talking, the opponent was screaming in pain as he was hit by the holy light. In fact, since the starlight containing the divine < death > was directly hit, the chance of surviving is converging to 0% God of death! Stop invading my body and be banished! Chizuzu! Suddenly, the divine < Death > ceased to invade and disappeared as it was, due to the divine < Evil Spirit >. Id like to say that its truly amazing versatility In the first ce, even erasing that divinity < death > was just a waste of time. I immediately added a new rule to the Divine < Rules >. Rule 4. The output of all martial arts used within the sacred ground is increased by 100%. And at the same time, I could feel the divine power draining out tremendously. [Even with all the applicable conditions, this much power goes into it] Perhaps if you keep this condition for 1 minute, your holy power will run out. But I didnt intend to spend that much time. That should be the case too The authority skill Sword Spirit Strong  is strongly activated. The skill Destructive Heaven is activated. The limit on what can be broken disappears. Authority skill The exclusive effect of the Hongwon Demon Sword, Doubling, is activated. Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skills by [4] times. Anyway, I n to defeat the God of Dark Spirit with this blow. Magic power, divine power! As long as I watch, that Aura de will never be established! Of course, the opponent must have noticed that the power in my sword was unusual, so I immediately invoked themandment, but Conditions satisfied. I do. Even so, its just a struggle. Such nonsense! Its toote now to escape outside the ice field. The Authority skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created . [Keah-ah ah-ah- ! ] ck starlight pierced the sky, and a low scream was heard through it, and a message came to mind. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is 4.7% closer to ascension by winning against Divinity. As a special reward for < Divine Ascension >, you will acquire the exclusive effect Persuasion (C+). And You have absorbed themand of Seir Nagrat, the god of words. Looking at the system message floating in front of my eyes, I smiled thickly. The [Hero] challenger, Seir Nagrat, has been eliminated. Challenger Han Seong-yoons [Role-ying battle achievement rate] has increased by 30% . it seemed Chapter 228 228. Temple (1) Seir Nagrat. Among the challengers on the 20th floor, the ranker with the third highest ranking was as good as expected. The Divine Spirit obtained by being chosen by the tower was certainly strong. I felt satisfied with it. Thats probably the case There hasnt been much change since the ascension, but this is a pretty decent level. Because I gained a lot from this battle. It is also true that the percentage of the ascension effect attached to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > increased by 4.7%. As a special reward for Ascension, he obtained the exclusive effect Persuasion (C+) and was able to plunder even the divine power with Necromancy. It seems that there is not much time left for the level of divine power to go up. But it was only for a moment that he was smiling like that. The 4th rule created by the divine < Rule > will disappear. The rule that increases the output of martial arts used in the sacred ground by 100% will be deleted. I cooled my emotions right away and the 4th rule in the middle of cutting my holy power into chunks. I cleared the rules and looked around. Before, I didnt have time to look around because I didnt have time Now I had enough time to take a closer look at the battlefield. It was worth it. Because its made of divine ice, I cant remove it that easily. It was because the challengers were unable to move due to the ice zone created using the divinity recement technique. Of course, some challengers melted the ice with skills or powers and resumed their advance but it wasnt fast enough to reach this fort. So, I decided to take full advantage of this opportunity. Rule 2. Challengers who enter the sacred zone will see the [role] they yed in the ordeal on the 20th floor above their heads. This is one of the rules set while dealing with Seir Nagrat Although a lot of sacred power is consumed, the system By interfering, it was possible to find out the [role] that was assigned to the trial on the 20th floor. Currently, everyone who entered the ice area is greatly slowed down. If a [saint] or a [pope] entered this icy region, they would undoubtedly know their [role] from the message that popped into their heads. Seir Nagrat was a [Hero], so now its clear if I defeat the [Saint] and [Pope]. There wasnt much time left before clearing the 20th floor ordeal, so I quickly rolled my eyes and read the messages. Challenger Cargill Sirs role in the 20th floor ordeal is [Priest]. The role I was assigned in the floor trial was a [knight] And before long, I was able to find the people I wanted. The role that challenger Gloria took on in the trials on the 20th floor is [Saint]. A brilliant blonde saintess wearing a habit that purrs her lips as if in prayer. The role that challenger Cliff Sherid took on in the 20th floor trial is [The Pope]. The pope with green hair tries to step back out of the ice zone with a sneaky look. [I couldnt believe they were all in the Holy Zone] It must have been. [Wouldnt waste too much time. ] Those two were the clear conditions for my 20th floor ordeal. *** [Saint] and [Pope]. After confirming my role in the 20th floor ordeal, I immediately used Seir Nagratsmand that I had just absorbed. Can not help it. From now on, a fierce battle between the challengers will take ce, so if you dont care, you can use Seir Nagratsmand carelessly as a shield for necromancy. It was right to prevent such idents in advance. Absorbs the spirit of Seir Nagrat, the god of words, and permanently increases stats. Muscle strength increased by 3. Agility increased by 2. Stamina increased by 4. Magic power increased by 3. It has increased by 9. Durability has increased by 1. ] I ate a little at that. In the case of a usurper, the rate of increase in stats that could be obtained was enormous. In the case of Seir Nagrat, the god of spirits, the quality was not so good, perhaps because even the spirits had inexperienced as a modifier. Even his physical ability was close to that of a water body, except for his magical power, everything was only minor growth. Except for the fact that I ate the divine power, to be honest, its to the extent that the calction doesnt match. However, originally, the soul of a godhead was not based on abilities. The value of the Godhead lies in divinity. Just like this. Absorbed themand of Seir Nagrat, the god of the spirit of the word, and satisfied the special conditions. You can acquire one of the divinities possessed by themand of the god of the spirit of Seir Nagrat. Current acquisition The potential divinities that can be used are < Spoken Spirit > < Persuasion > < Check >. At this time, the potential divinity that was not selected will not appear as an optionter. Divinity acquisition was activated due to necromancy. At that, I looked at the divinities with a smile, but then I frowned as I read the contents. It was worth it. It was because, except for the divine < Emperor >, there were only divinities that I hadnt even seen using. Even their names were < Persuasion > and < Inspection >. DHmm. In my opinion, except for the Divine Spirit, the rest seems trivial. what do you guys think In fact, even Damcheonwu, who had been quiet until now, hated it. Considering the fact that Seir Nagrat, the god of words, didnt use these two even after his death, they dont seem very valuable secondary divinities. So there was nothing to worry about. I nodded and chose the divinity to acquire right away. [I think so too. Everything except the divine < Spirit > is useless. I think this would be best. ] And. Selectionplete. Divinity < Eon Spirit > is reced with potential. A new divinity entered the heart and was absorbed into the transcendent divinity as it was. I knew how to use it right away. First of all, there is also a great reference book called Seir Nagrat (?), so it seemed easy to use the divinity itself. However, as always, ideals and reality did not mesh. Divine < Word of Word > is used. You can consume divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a great deal of divine power is consumed when you use Divine Spirit to interfere with thews of the world. There was something like a restriction in [Increased consumption of holy power] Thats also very annoying. I dont know if its a built-in facility in the divine < Lord of Words >, but I instinctively noticed that many things were difficult. In a word, it has good versatility, but should I say its a low-quality divinity. You can use the same power as authority just by talking, but the real problem is that the fuel economy is not very good. It would be better to use it to support the original ability than to create a new ability with the spirit. Just as Seir Nagrat made the holy light disappear, you can go to the goal while using the divine < Sword Spirit >. The consumption of divine power is high, so it is possible that the divine power may be exhausted or deification can be canceled. Doing so is tantamount to reversing the truth, so be careful. After I had figured out the divine < Spirit > before I knew it, I immediately activated the Flight Authority. The authority skill Steel Wings is strongly activated.] And. Steel Wings speed up 4 times when flying by designating a target. ] Some of the activation effects of the authority Steel Wings are modified by the divine < Emperor >. After changing some of the activation effects of the authority with the divine < Emperor of Words >, she looked down as it was. Its nothing else It seems that there are no more big rewards that can be obtained from the 20th floor ordeal, so now I was thinking of handling all the clear conditions. The first to be dealt with was the Pope. I dont know why, but it bothers me that hes trying to run away quickly. It was worth it. The saintess is memorizing prayers for some reason, but the pope is desperately running away. In the case of the former, it would be okay to leave it alone, but in the case of thetter, it was certain that it would annoy me if left as it was. I didnt like ying hide and seek that unnecessarily protracted time. Challenger Cliff Sherid has been designated as the approach target for the authority skill Steel Wings. The flying speed of the authority skill Steel Wings increases by 4 times depending on the conditions. Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 80%. Current skill ovep progress C [8] Next moment. Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwang-! Without exaggeration, I really became a storm and hit the ground where the Pope was. My eyes opened wide at a speed faster than I could have imagined. It was worth it. Originally, I didnt even think it would elerate this much. Its amazing. I never thought the movement would change so drastically by increasing the speed several times. [Themandments are definitely worth using. ] At that, I smiled lightly and turned my head, and soon I could see the Pope with a pale face. Wait a minute! He tried to part his lips urgently, as if he had something to say, but he had no intention of listening. Whatever you say, I dont think its going to be very interesting. I immediately raised the holy power in my heart and at the same time lightly stepped on the ground with my left foot. I use the divinity < death > The nature of the god of death reacts and the nature of death that dwells in the divine power is strengthened. And that too, while containing the divinity with the highest killing power I possess. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, the ground turns ck and copses, beyond which the divine power spreads like an infection. Time passed in the blink of an eye, not even a second. The divine < Death > directly touched the pope and eroded his body. I thought with my eyes closed. Im done with this. The divinity < Death > has no means to resist unless it bes a deity. In a word, it means that if you do not reach the level of Seir Nagrat, the god of words, you will die as it is. So I thought the pope would die right away. No, thats exactly what I almost thought. The god of expulsion consumes a considerable amount of divine power and allows his follower to be an < Apostle >. Until he felt intense movement of divine power in his body. < Apostleization > is used on the challenger, Cliff Sherid. And then. Due to the divine < exile >, the divine < death > is banished to its original ce . At that, I opened my eyes wide. Because I didnt know that this would happen. [ interesting. ] Cliff Sherid. [Is it an apostle after the godhead? ] He was an apostle chosen by the Godhead. Chapter 229 229. Shrine (2) Apostle. A person chosen by the gods, and unlike ordinary believers, a being favored by the gods. Although I hadnt met many apostles, I still knew a lot about them. In its own way, even with an apostle, it was a body that risked its life to fight. There was an unexpected ambush. An apostle was a strong person who could even use an apostle painting because hecked a medium through which gods could descend. Of course, there is a condition that Sado paintings can be used only when they are directly permitted by God . So there was no way he wouldnt allow the apostleization. Just like right now. [ Now wait! You nameless deity! Bah, please wait a moment! ] Cliff Sherid. At first, I thought it was some kind of gossip who identally took on the role of [Pope] The God of Exile is ring at the challenger, Sungyoon Han. The God of Exile shows hostility towards the challenger, Seongyoon Han. I warn you that you wont be able to see such a good performance. It turns out that he was a challenger with some connection to God. I felt the divine gaze in the air, and an unpleasant sensation covered my skin. It was as if it was going to < Advent > by paying divine power at any time if it bothered her eyes. At that, I opened my eyes and spoke openly to Cliff Sherid as if I was hostile. [Its a pretty extreme reaction for asking me to wait a minute, right? ] And. [Clear your eyes. ] At the same time, I immediately activated the gaze blocking authority. Exclusive authority #A-9871[Gaze Blocking] is activated. All deities and administrators gazes are blocked at once. Chijijik-! In an instant, without any dy, the feeling of heaviness pouring into my body disappeared. Cliff Sherids face was stained with astonishment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. As if it was more than he had imagined, he quickly began to y his tongue. [You are making a mistake! This body is a follower of the god of banishment, so if the god finds out about my death. ] [ What are you going to do? ] [ . ] [ Ah, its not the answer I was hoping for, but Im sorry. What do you see me as? ] [ half godhead. ] [ But why should I listen to your threat? ] [ tongue threats. I had no intention of doing such a thing. I just wanted to make a deal that benefits each other. ] [Deal. ] I smiled at him. I never expected to hear this again. Come to think of it, I once said this to an ancient demon in the giant treebyrinth. lets make a deal that we can give each other what we want. And remembering that time, I gave a teaching about trading as a skilled teaching assistant. [The deal is not like that. ] [Whats that ] [Its a business that benefits each other. If you emphasize only the loss like that, can it be a deal? ] [ . ] [ So, it would be better to renew the terms of the deal. ] Originally, a transaction is something that can benefit each other. It was necessary to start a reasonable transaction ording to that standard. I drew an arc at the corner of my mouth as I looked at Cliff Sherid, whose pupils suddenly had an earthquake. [Tell me how far you can give it. ] I guess. [Then I will try to live. ] It seemed that another customer(?) would be born at this ce. *** The transaction went through quickly. It was worth it. The reason the challengers who participated in the trials on the 20th floor cannot intervene is because of the ice area. Maintaining the ice zone requires a lot of divine power, so there was no time to overcharge each other. [Youd better not think about cutting the cost of your life. ] Did the exclusive effect Persuasion (C+) obtained from the ascension while defeating the god of the spirit of the word be activated? [I dont have a very patient personality, so my hands seem to be able to move freely. ] [ dont worry about that. Whoa, Ill give you a decent trade item as you wish. ] Cliff Sherid trembled and took care of his own life. Dimensional Exile Ticket Grade: A+ A holy relic created by the God of Exile to drive out those who do not like it. When you inject holy power into the ticket, you can activate the exclusive effect Dimension Exile. Limited to one time, it is possible to banish even a divinity to another dimension. However, it is impossible to specify a dimension that can be expelled, and exile is done randomly. However, it is a trial by the tower . It is impossible to expel the challenger who is in the middle of the battle to another dimension. It was nothing else but the holy relic. Of course, its not a battle-rted item, but it wasnt an exaggeration to say that it was useful enough. Even a godhead can be banished to another dimension. Its a one-time thing, but its like an absolute battle avoidance right. Its definitely a decent relic. Although there is a downside that it is difficult to use against a challenger Actually, it is difficult to know where to use it against a challenger, so you dont have to worry too much about it. Feeling satisfied, I took the green-colored dimension exile ticket. With that, the deal is over. Achievement Merchant of Death has been achieved.] The skill Life Threat (D+) is created. A strange achievement that I dont know why happened, but it didnt matter because it was still a gain. After taking the holy relic like that, Cliff Sherid paid attention and quietly spoke to me. Also very carefully. [ Ill go now. Anyway, even if I dont have one, its not difficult to ovee the ordeal. The role-ying achievement rate only needs to exceed 70%. ] He tried his best to tell me how useless he was in clearing the 20th floor ordeal. In addition, how great is the value of the holy relic that came into hand. Of course, I heard it with one ear and let it out with the other. [Im sure clearing the ordeal itself isnt impossible but that would be the case too [Still, Im the kind of person who takes care of everything I can. ] Because I had no intention of saving Cliff Sherid in the first ce. Using Divinity < Death >. The nature of the god of death reacts and the nature of death embedded in the divine power is strengthened. Kwajijijijikjik! The dark red divinity overflowed from his body and flowed sharply. In the blink of an eye, it hit Cliff Sherid and eroded his body. It was only then that Cliff Sherid realized the situation and shouted in great rage. [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! damn it! I followed what he was told, but why did he betray me like this!! ] But it was me who was dumbfounded. [You tried to kill me in the first ce, and it seems like that wont work, so why are you so confident about trying to threaten me? ] Even if I had the exclusive effect Persuasion (C+) obtained through Ascension, I would have believed the enemy so easily. I couldnt understand. From the beginning, he led arge army of challengers with the intention of killing me in the citadel Did he really think that I would see it? I have no conscience. Of course, from his point of view, it was notpletely iprehensible. The gaze of the godhead who had protected him until now was also blocked, and even if he became an apostle, the gap with the godhead would be clear. So he must have wanted to avoid battle as much as possible. Even to the extent of handing over the holy relic. However, in the end, it was tantamount to hastening his ruin. [Do you think you will die in a ce like this! I am an apostle favored by the god of banishment! ] Due to the divine < exile >, the divine < death > is exiled to its original ce. Cliff Sherids howl screamed, and my divine power, which gnawed away his life, was expelled at once. But I didnt stop and scattered the holy power. over and over again. Like were going to fight until were exhausted. [ no use! ] Correspondingly, Cliff Sherid also used the divine < Exile >, and soon the battle became close to a war of attrition. Divinity < Block > creates a protective shield that blocks challenger Han Seong-yoons divinities. It was worth it. Currently, it drives away the divine < Death > with the highest killing power I have, and now it is to the point of blocking the divine < Death > at all. In fact, it was as if all means of attack using divine power had been blocked. All stats are reduced by 10% by the authority Token of those who have been cast out of the abyss. Magic consumption increases in proportion to the battle duration by the authority Flower that blooms in chaos. The umtion of mental fatigue is greatly elerated by the whisper of . Most of them were debuff-type powers that made the long-term battle itself difficult. Even the authority whisper from the depths was offset with the authority bright view index. Even if we y a long game like this, well win, but theres no need to do that. Apotheosis is not a force that can be maintained without time constraints. If time goes on like this and deification is canceled, then you wont be able to use the divine powers. Then, the challengers who are stuck in the ice zone wille to kill me in earnest. So The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to immediately move to the desired point within sight. Before that happens, as much as possible. We had to get rid of Cliff Sherid quickly. Chow-! [Ouch! ] In the blink of an eye, Cliff Sheriffs torso was cut in half. His wildly quivering green eyes seemed to ask. How on earth could he have approached me as if he were skipping space? It was worth it. I must have been very surprised because I didnt use Shunbo even when I was fighting Seir Nagrat. It was an authority that was not used even in the battle against the godhead. Cliff Sherid probably never imagined that something like this could exist. Sunbo is the power to move so fast that it is almost impossible for even the godhead to follow with the eyes. There was no choice but to be helpless if you didnt read the activation harbinger in advance. [Lee Ik! ] He gritted his teeth and created a window of green light to try to intercept it all at once But would it be meaningful to use magic at all when the distance was so narrowed? I immediately swung the sword in my left hand and cut his throat. Its also very neat. Slow-! Absorbed the spirit of challenger Cliff Sherid. Challenger Seongyoon Hans victory against the apostle brought her 1.1% closer to ascension. Exclusive effect Snakes Tongue (D) as a special reward for < Divinity Ascension > From now on, all tricks of challenger Han Seong-yoon will bepensated to some extent. After reading all the messages that filled my eyesight, I smiled as I brushed off the blood on my sword. [I never thought I would get a special reward again. ] The rise rate of Ascension itself is not too bad and even acquired the exclusive effect Snakes Tongue (D). For killing just one apostle, it was a huge gain. The challenger who yed the role of [Pope], Cliff Sherid, has been eliminated. Challenger Han Seong-yoons [Role-ying battle achievement rate] has increased by 30%. Even now, the [Role-ying battle achievement rate] has already reached 60%. So If you get an additional achievement rate of about 40%, the 20th floor ordeal will bepletely cleared. If that happens, you will undoubtedly get a big share of the additional breakthrough reward. And you will be able to get even higher profits by using the right to increase rewards. I cant wait to see how strong he will be after clearing it. But that was only for a moment. DI know that it feels good to get an unexpected reward but this is not a situation that I would like very much from the point of view of me. It sounded as if Damcheonwus voice was resounding in his ears. Its as if this situation itself is very awkward. In response, I immediately put a smile on my face and asked Dam Chun-wu a question. [ what else are you talking about? ] -Think about it. This 20th floor integration ordeal was more hostile to you than I thought. Divinity, Apostle There are many strangely strong enemies. [What is that? ] DThats the problem. and. DThe [Hero] and the [Pope], each of whom you have to deal with, upy the positions of Godhead and Apostle the next moment. DCant you guess what the [Saintess] side will be like next? Deed-! Suddenly, the ground shook greatly, and arge crack appeared in the ice sacred ground. Its nothing different Kwajangchang-! The sacred < rules > will be discontinued due to the destruction of the sacred ground. The sacred ground, which had been used well so far, was destroyed at once. In the blink of an eye, too. The ice-coverednd soon regained its original form, and the buff effect it had been receiving so far disappeared. The authority King of Winter does not meet the conditions and is disabled. All stats increase by 10% and the cold immunity state is cancelled. However, the really important thing was not the buff. The challengers, who had been immobilized by the ice until now, were released from restraints all at once. Even The God of Bnce consumes divine power and the authority of Advent to cast < Advent >. Since you cast < Advent > on the official apostle Gloria, you can fully use the divine power. Hierarchical Ordeal Since it matches the difficulty level, some myths and powers possessed by the godhead are changed to a usable state. [ This is not a tournament or something] And that is with the saintess who received < Advent > on her back. [Its unfair to the point of being dirty once. ] At that, I frowned as I looked at the saintess spreading divine power over there. Faced enemies that were difficult for the user to handle. The skill Indomitable Will is activated. Thats probably the case The special spell activation conditions have been met. Exclusive spell < Despise the Strong (ǿҕ) > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. Chapter 230 230. Temple (3) Up until now, while climbing the tower, I used a lot of strong enemy buffs. It was worth it. Before I acquired the < Transcendence > divinity on the 17th floor, I always battled strong opponents on a daily basis. However, after going through a battle with the Heavenly Demon and obtaining numerous rewards in the giant treebyrinth, I escaped the battle to a certain extent. At most, fighting the usurper was a case of almost losing ones life Compared to before, it was certain that the use of the semi-final buff was reduced. So I couldnt understand more. This situation wasnt dangerous enough to activate a strong enemy buff in my opinion. Faced enemies that were difficult for the user to handle. The skill Indomitable Will is activated. Physical ability increase, concentration increase, learning ability strengthened, mental protection strengthened, etc After a long time, due to the Unbreakable Will skill, various abilities have been obtained. they got stronger But the change did not stop there. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. The exclusive spell he had purchased was activated, and his body surged with vitality. At this point, without any skills or divinity, it seemed like the level of an apostle could be beaten with bare hands. Presumably, in this state, if you use the Shinhwa < Reversal Hero >, even an apostle will be able to defeat it without much difficulty. I rolled my eyes at him. [ So absurd. ] ording tomon sense, the current situation wasnt enough to activate a strong enemy buff. Even though the god of bnce used < Advent > on Gloria, the challenger who took on the role of [Saint Woman] Even so, unless the godhead had sent down the incarnation, there was no way the strong enemy buff would be activated. Even The god of bnce is definitely not an ancient deity Among the ancient deities seen in the giant treebyrinth, there was no one who handled the divinity < Bnce >. And theres no way the Tower would just stand by and see someone like an ancient deity directly intervene. Therefore, it probably means that the god of bnce who descended to Gloria is not an ancient deity Thats why I felt more ufortable. As I squeezed my hand holding the sword wave with my eyes closed, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rang out. -I think you know what it is. You dont have to think tooplicated. Perhaps the God of Bnce is your nemesis. [ Nemesis? ] DOriginally, there is apatibility between divinities ording to their divinity. Perhaps the divinity < Bnce > is something like a nemesis to you. [ . ] At those words, I thought as I looked at the blonde saintess with a brilliant light. Its a natural enemy. There was a point. The strong enemy buffs wouldnt have been activated all at once, as if the godhead had cast < Advent > for no reason. In terms of cause and effect, it is probably correct to say that the god of bnce is my nemesis. Still, questions were bound to arise as to why the judgment of opponents was as strong as that of < Advent >, a divinity. But the question didntst long. The Divine < Bnce > is used. That would be the case By the Divine < Bnce >, the strength of all challengers within the 20th floor ordeal is bnced. Within a few seconds, you can directly experience the cause. because there was *** Bnce. To do it evenly without leaning to one side or the other. The moment when what I knew only as words became a divine power and was activated. [ . ] I felt it as I watched the golden divinity flowing from my body fade. By Divinity < Bnce >, all challengers ability to manifest Divinity is sealed. By Divinity < Bnce >, all challengers stats are fixed at [150]. By Divinity < Bnce >, all challengers divinity is The ability to deal directly is sealed. By the divine < Bnce >, all challengers natural recovery of physical strength is sealed. By the divine < Bnce >, all challengers natural magic recovery is sealed. It means that he didnt make a strong adversary decision. The use of Apotheosis is prohibited by Divinity < Bnce >. The Divine authority Apotheosis is disabled and cannot be reused for 8 hours . is unlocked and all stats are fixed at an absurd level. The same goes for the ability level raised by the exclusive spell < Despise the Strong >. At least, the physical ability raised by the Indomitable Will skill is not rted to the ability level, so the effect is maintained but it was not a very hopeful situation. Are all the abilities to deal with divinity sealed Divinity recement ability as well as some powers and skills were sealed. Among them, there was also a holy light that became a power skill. I expected the exclusive perk Absolute Preservation I bought in the giant treebyrinth to resist the divine < Bnce > but things didnt go as smoothly as I thought. Due to the myth < Equality of All >, the exclusive perk Absolute Preservation (SSS+) is temporarily disabled. The god of bnce who wrote < Advent > on Gloria activated the myth. Due to the myth < Equality of All People >, the automatic activation of divine < Yeokcheon > is canceled. DI never thought that the god who wrote < Advent > could also write a myth Damcheonwu admired it when he saw it. DIt seems that the tower has given you a high value. This means that even if the god who wrote < Advent > could write Shinhwa, Tower judged that I would be able to handle it . It didnt feel good to be recognized like this by TOP. It was worth it. Originally, it was my intention to finish the trials on the 20th floor as quickly as possible and upgrade the authority to increase the reward in themon area on the 21st floor. Even with so many enemies, it was not possible to maximize the efficiency of the rewards that could be obtained. So I felt a lot of regret. It would have been better if I had faced the enemies like this after the reward increase waspleted. But it was only for a moment that he licked his lips. [Challenger with the divinity of transcendence. ] It was because the saintess over there opened her mouth before she knew it. [You broke the bnce too much. I can assure you that the quality of the crime will never be low. ] No, to be precise, it must be the God of Bnce who cast < Advent > on the saintess Gloria. [Pay for your sins with your life and repent of your sins while climbing the tower. ] Before he could even reply to that absurd statement, something happened. Its nothing else The ice melted and the challengers, who were able to move, quickly kicked the ground. Rotten! I dont know what it is, but now the tide is turning. Fuck that fucking monster! Anyway, all abilities are the same. If the divine ability is also sealed, that is no big deal anymore. Jinhyung! Get in shape! And dont let that bastard get close to the saintess! Then win! It is said that even if it rots, it is still raw As soon as the ankles that were caught in the ice field heavily strengthened by the divine < Rules > were released, the challengers began to move in haste. very quickly too. Im guessing it seems that it was known to them that the bnce patch was carried out to some extent by the divine < bnce > It was fun. Is it a battle with pure skill without divinity It was well worth it. The special power Hunger for battle is activated by satisfying the conditions. It bes easier to immerse yourself in battle, and all skill proficiency increases by 300%. Skills will improve a lot after a long time. Originally, I liked fighting with skills and martial arts without divinity. *** As I saw countless challengers approaching me, I immediately absorbed themand. Absorbs the spirit of challenger Cliff Sherid to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength increased by 1. Agility increased by 1. Stamina increased by 2. Magic power increased by 4. . Durability increased by 2. Of course, the permanent stat increase was not applied immediately by the divine < Bnce > but if left as it is anyway, it will be consumed as a meaningless shield by the offensive attacks of the challengers. There was no point in wasting the spirit of someone who was strong enough to use Sadohwa. So even if it didnt help at first, I used it right away. however. Absorbs one of the skills that challenger Cliff Sherid has. The skill Battle eleration (A+) is created. An A+ ss skill was created as an unexpected benefit. nice. and. The skill Battle eleration is activated. All actions rted to the battle are greatly elerated until the end of the battle. Numerous skills began to be activated starting from the newly acquired skill. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated The skill Amplification of Thought is active] It wasnt just that. Boss Skill skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds are increased by 80%. Current skill ovep progress C [8] Abilities that do not directly deal with divinity are not affected by divinity < bnce >. didnt it? Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is activated. Applies the effect of < Causal Reversal > to challenger Han Seong-yoon. Challenger Han Seong-yoon has the effect of < Divinity Ascension >. Each time you win against a divine power, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases. Each time you repeat victory, ascension gets closer. Therefore, when divinity rises, special rewards are sometimes given. I was able to activate < Possibility of Transcendence >, a myth that has no direct rtionship to dealing with divine power. Of course, even if the level of divinity grew, it would be useless right now but I thought that there was no myth more useful than this. At least against a bunch of challengers. It was the moment when he kicked off the ground and rushed to the ce where the challengers were crowded. Chijing-! The skill Tears of the Desperate decreases movement speed by up to 40% in proportion to the duration of the battle. The skill Flow of the Lowest ce designates the challenger Han Seong-yoon to take an additional 100% of all damage. . The skill Twisted Lightning Rod of Thunder acquires the Fill effect on all magic fired at challenger Han Seong-yoon. In the blink of an eye, unknown letters appeared all over the body and applied all sorts of debuffs. . Even that is a lot. Iughed at the endless system messages that I couldnt read all of them. It was worth it. The skill Endless Spell Devour is activated. All spells that touch the body are converted into pure magical power. Even so, none of the spells are useless to me anyway. It was impossible to even keep me in check with mere magic, not a skill that does not use spells. As it was, I absorbed hundreds of spells clinging to my body at once and converted them into magic power. Shockingly, one of the wizards behind enemy lines eximed in horror. What kind of dog is this! Master Spell Infinite Devour? The spell itself is of no use at all? But there was no time to worry about it. Lets go! It was because there were so many arrows pouring down that they filled his field of vision again in a short time. Its probably because hes trying to take some of his strength out of the distance. It didnt matter because I had recently acquired a skill that could block it to some extent. Skill Shock Block is activated. Shock Block. A skill that definitively blocks 30% of all damage, regardless of pration. When it was activated, it blocked the rain of arrows that hit the whole body. Its also very neat. Titititting! Most of the arrows that hit the body ricocheted out without even prating the skin. Of course, there were minor wounds from tapping the skin, but even those were not serious enough to lead to serious injuries. But that didnt mean there was no damage at all. Hit by a barrage of arrows, his progress was dyed. The wounds started to umte more and more. Even Gray Blood became a powerful skill and it was activated by consuming divine power, so it was in a sealed state There werent many means to recover. It got a little better when I used the power of the blood cheongong, but even this was not as effectivepared to the gray blood. In the end instead of holding on and moving forward, I chose to defend. The skill Counterattack Shield is activated. By spreading the counterattack shield wide and making it like a veil, the burden on the body is considerably reduced. But even so, the progress stopped and it was not a benefit. As it is, the time to maintain the counterattack shield must be limited. There are a lot of challengers over there, so we can continue the long-term battle. [The arrogance of thinking that you can do anything is holding you back.] The God of Bnce, who had < Advent > on the saintess body, helped with a word. It was as if he believed that he would die soon. However, I quietly waited for the right time without replying to that. Thats probably the case too Charged. The skill Counter Shield is in a state where it can reflect the umted damage. The reason I stayed still until now was to gain momentum. Chapter 231 231. Temple (4) Charged. The skill Counterattack Shield is in a state where it can reflect the umted damage. The counterattack shield spread out in the form of a red curtain shone brightly while disying the message that the charge wasplete. Kiyiing-! The moment when apletely different level of energy flowed out of the counterattack shield. I immediately changed the twin swords in my hand into lead swords, and then changed the counterattack shield into a form close to a sword. Its nothing else a lightsaber. Before obtaining the Holy Light, he was going to use the wide-area skill he used to use. I smiled lightly as my body was momentarily hit by the shower of arrows. Its been a while since Ive used this. Because I cant use the Honyuan Demon Sword, I cant use abo that increases the power several times but this should be enough to wipe out the group of challengers. I blinked my eyes at him, and soon I even activated the engraving skill while holding onto the red sword. to maximize power. Activate True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Intention (B+) > And. Authority Kimki Seonggang  is strongly activated. Skill Destroy Heaven is activated. The limit on what can be broken disappears The skill Counterattack Shield releases the umted damage at once.] In the blink of an eye, the counterattack shield that changed like a red sword fired a sh of light. White Sword Guancheon. The skill Steel de is activated.] The de is endowed with the Wind attribute by the skill Swirl de (C+). And that too very quickly. Kwagwagwagwagwang!! It wasnt enough to have the herbivore of White Swordsman Chuncheon with the ability to prate defense, so I mixed in small skills. In fact, its the best blow I can use with all of my divinity-rted abilities sealed I was curious as to how far this would work. How many enemies can I face with no divinity and fixed stats? The question about him was soon resolved. That would be the case too Kwajijijijijik-! Because the challengers in the enemy camp were not able to block the lightsaber for even a second and were pulverized. Sorcery, magic, power, skill, and so on Countless forces surged and numerous curtains were created, but all of them were useless. In the end, it was swallowed up by the red light and reached its ruin. Achievement Immortal Gap has been achieved. The skill Unextinguished Mortal me (S-) is created. Even the achievement waspleted and the skill was acquired, so it was a great benefit indeed. S-ss skills. I got something pretty good. I dont know what it is, but its worth trying. His eyes twinkled and I felt anticipation. It was worth it. Its nothing else, its just an S-ss skill. Even though there are some skills that are not as valuable as the grade The S-ss skill obtained as an achievement reward was expected to have that power once. As he smiled and felt his heart tickle, he heard a sound in his ear. Ah ah ah ah . Why is that monster like that? Its a joke ? fuck! Theres no way this could make sense! Crazy. Even though they have the same abilities, they were so overwhelmingly beaten There were people who survived because they were outside the ce where the lightsaber was fired. But it didnt matter much. Most of the wizards and archers who had bothered him so far were dead. In response, I grabbed the twin swords again in my hand and elerated my body to run away. And The skill Unquenchable mortal me is activated. Then, when I activated the newly obtained skill, a strange thing happened. Fire-! Suddenly, ck mes rose from the tips of my feet and began to copse everything. This was not a metaphor or anything. Truly ck mes were fired at the enemies, burning the earth as if it were turned to ashes. The moment the unquenchable mortal me copsed and touched one of the challengers. Quasarsak! Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As it was, the challenger was engulfed in mes and in the blink of an eye turned to ashes and poured down. The challengers who saw it immediately tried to extinguish the me with all avable means but the ck me was not extinguished by any of them. It just burns everything it touches. Only then did the challengers realize that it was meaningless to face the unquenchable mortal me, and each screamed and scattered. You have to run away too! I dont want to die! At that, Damcheonwu clicked his tongue as he watched the challengers scattering. -They are fools. Dying death wont mean much anyway. Hearing that, I nodded and agreed. Even if I run away like that, I cant clear the ordeal if I dont kill myself. I couldnt understand. Even if he tried to save his life mercilessly, in the end, everyone would die the same way Why is he acting so ugly? But apart from that, I was definitely impressed by the power of the new skill. An unquenchable mortal me. Its amazing. In terms of pure power, its on a levelparable to that of the holy light. However, the unquenchable mortal me was not a wide-area skill without a master. Because the strengths are clear, the weaknesses are also clear. One length, one line. Compared to its insane ability to turn everything to ashes, the unquenchable me spread slowly. Not even that. The consumption of mana was also enormous, to the extent that it could be said that the bodys mana was consumed by 10% per second. It wasnt a skill that could be used for a long time. Perhaps, if I wait a few more seconds like this, the runaway challengers will drag on the time and consume all my mana. At that, I clicked my tongue and in the end briefly extinguished the unquenchable mortal me. Skill Unextinguished mortal me is deactivated. And. The special power, Dragon Change is activated. The amount of magical power possessed is doubled for 10 minutes. Reproduces some of the characteristics of the dragon race for 10 minutes. For 10 minutes, all magic-rted interference and operational abilities increase. Wood-deuk Wood-deuk! I activated the power of Yonginhwa, which can make up for theck of magical power. It is an ability that does not affect the magical ability itself, but only raises the amount of magical power, so it is not affected by divine < bnce >. Satisfied with the magic power that had filled up in my body, I immediately shot sparks from my mouth like a breath. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The challengers who were hit directly by the dragon breath died as if they were bursting in half, scattering fresh blood The skill Seeker of Fresh Blood is activated.] The fresh blood created in this way was stirred up like a storm and a new mortal me was activated. The skill Unextinguished mortal me is activated. As a result, ck mes flew around, attaching to the bloody storm created by the seeker of fresh blood. Of course, despite using the imprint skill < Enhanced Blood (C+) >, the bloody storm faded in an instant, so I had to replenish the blood constantly but it wasnt too bad . This is also a good skillbo to use as you think. Its like adding the destructive power of the unquenchable mortal me to the mobility of the bloody storm . Of course, since the amount of magical power consumed by the unquenchable mortal me is enormous, it cannot be maintained for long. Still, with this, the challengers were able to sort things out to some extent. Now all thats left are the ones attached to the saintess side. Are you among the elite among the challengers assigned to this 20th floor trial? All the challengers on the saintess side seemed to realize that there was no other way to survive. Thats very certain. At that, I immediately shot a storm of blood at the saintess, frowning. You have to clear the 20th floor ordeal when you can use the unquenchable mortal me. Currently, the magic power remaining in the body is about 30%. Considering that the magic recovery itself was significantly lowered by the divine < Bnce >, it was difficult to maintain. Even if you activate the rapid magic recharge ability, the duration of the unextinguished mortal me will not increase. So it was right to make a decision as quickly as possible. But [Is there a bnce beyond countless sacrifices? It wont be as you wish. ] As soon as the god of bnce who had < Advent > said that to the saintess, the bloody storm disappeared. Shinhwa < Selfish Bnce Beyond Sacrifice > has designated Challenger Seongyoon Han. Most of the skills of Challenger Seongyoon Han will be disabled for 4 minutes. I gnashed my teeth at the rising irritation. Most of the abilities rted to divinity were sealed in the equalization of all stats . I didnt like it because I felt that he was openly trying to kill me. But that was only for a moment. Its like this monster child. I can kill you now. Hit everything! If we cant kill them within 4 minutes, they think well die! Now just die gracefully, you fucking monster! The challengers on the side of the saintess rushed at each other, causing sword mes. To be honest, it was difficult to follow the movement now. It was worth it. Because all the stats were not fixed enough, even the skills were turned into unusable. But I also had a few things I hid. That too-. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification is activated. Myth < Bnce Beyond Sacrifice > returns to the pre-attack state by Attack Invalidation. Returners A 30-minute cooldown is created for the worn-out watch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification. A hidden number that can reverse this absurdity. *** kurlrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr In the blink of an eye, the blood storm and the unquenchable mortal me were restored with the exclusive effect of nullifying the attack. It was natural. Attack Nullification, one of the exclusive effects inherent in the Regressors worn-out watch, returns everything to its pre-attack condition. Everything involved in that attack is regressive. Thats why a storm of blood filled with unquenchable mortal mes is also created. But the enemies didnt know that, so they fell into a panic at once. Time has gone back!? Uh, how could this be! But I had no intention of solving the question. All die. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In response, I immediatelyunched a storm of blood at the challengers on the saintess side. Soon, they became a handful of ashes without being able to properly scream. Challenger Seong-yoon Han is 1.8% closer to ascension by winning against numerous enemies. As a special reward for < Rise of Divinity >, you will acquire the exclusive effect One-Man Corps (D+). Every battle, all stats increase by +1. Then, killing the challengers so far led to the activation of Ascension, and rewards were given. Ascension increased by 1.8% Ascension increased more than when he killed Cliff Sherid, who was chosen by the God of Exile. Its salty in its own way. He even acquired One-Man Corps (D+) as an exclusive effect, so he really achieved good growth. Even though its small, these small effectse together to make me stronger I was satisfied. If I keep going like this, I dont think its far from reaching 100% ascension, right? Surprisingly, the speed at which Ascension rose was not slow. I dont know what will change when Ascension reaches 100%, but I had a hunch that at least then I would be able to get something pretty good. As I smiled lightly at him, a new system message immediately came to my mind. I defeated numerous challengers who took on roles in the 20th floor ordeal. Challenger Han Seong-yoons [Role-ying battlepletion rate] increased by 10%. Suddenly, the total [Role-ying battlepletion rate] rose to 70%. [How can you get that much power when youve only just arrived on the 20th floor] After reading all the system messages, the God of Bnce who wrote < Advent > to the saintess muttered in contemtion. [You You] Looking at that figure, I secretly began to suck up the blood that had been scattered on the earth. It would be advantageous to fill up my physical strength and magical power as much as possible. As a seeker of fresh blood, he could convert blood into physical strength and magic, so he intended to use it. To pass the time, I spoke to her, who was trembling with her blonde hair down sadly. Is it impossible to build up this much power in the first ce? [ yes, no one has reached that level like you] . [ and the former candidate in your red sword is the same. ] DAs if he knew who I was. Suddenly, at her words, a hum echoed from Damcheonwu. I was a little surprised. I didnt know Dam Chun-wu would say this directly. However, the god of bnce who wrote < Advent > to the saintess said while spilling arsenic as if he had expected it. [ okay. i know you Because you also tried to break the bnce of many things. But in the end, you couldnt achieve the towers secret wish either. ] DIt was. [It seems like youre waiting for the moment of choice, but it seems you havent decided even that properly. ] D. [Have you learned anything from living with a monster like that? Dam Chun-wu, former candidate, even if you get a new opportunity. ] DIt would be good to close that useless mouth. Hard. The Blood Heaven Demon Sword vibrated thinly and let out thick flesh. [ Still, I dont hate that selfish choice. That selfish choice of yours will also be bnced. ] It was an iprehensible sound. But I didnt have to try to understand. After all, most of the things the gods say are vague. After saying that, she took her eyes off the blood demon sword, and Dam Chunwoo also quietly closed her mouth. At that, the God of Bnce, who borrowed the body of a saintess, red at me and then said with an eerieugh. [ Still, I knew one thing. you. Challenger with transcendent divinity. You are the heir chosen by the tower. ] And. [Dont go away this time. But next time it wont be like this. From now on, we will be dealing with you seriously. ] next moment. [Dont wait until then.] Suddenly! As soon as I finished those words, I immediately swung my sword and decapitated the saintess. *** Absorbed the spirit of challenger Gloria. Destroyed challenger Gloria who yed the role of [Saint Woman]. Challenger Han Seong-yoons [Role ying Battle achievement rate] increases by 30%. [ [Demon King] roles [Role-ying Battle Achievement Rate] has reached 100%, and corrections have been made to the ordeal breakthrough reward . As soon as it came into view, I squinted my eyes. I wont stop this. I was dumbfounded because I didnt know that I would really die quietly. I didnt expect him to back off immediately after being so irritating. Of course, I was convinced to some extent. Even if I had fought as it was in the first ce, I would have won in a matter of seconds. He must have thought that it was better to withdraw than to continue fighting ugly. At that, I hung the swords from my waist and thought while touching my chin. She said that the next time we met, we would be serious. Even using the expression we. That means that not only the god of bnce, but also many gods are against me. So I made a promise to the next one with so much confidence. Wait until then is probably to promise the time when we can fight each other with all our might. The Tower does not block the intervention of the Goddess if it matches each other sufficiently. Therefore, the God of Bnce thought about that and said that he would wait for the moment when he could fight with all his might. But I wasnt too worried. It doesnt matter whether you do or not. That would be the case Because I dont intend to stay still anyway. This is because from the beginning, I had the intention of definitely eliminating some deities. At most, its a level where there are more enemies. So there was nothing to worry about, just thinking about getting stronger for now. Congrattions, you have broken through the 20th floor of the Tower of Trials. All stats have increased by +20 as a breakthrough reward. You have acquired 200000 points as a breakthrough reward. . As an additional breakthrough reward, Skill Proficiency Up Potion (A+) will be sent to your inventory. As an additional breakthrough reward, Abyssal yers Longsword (A-) will be sent to your inventory. To the waiting room Please move. As I made up my mind to do so, a system message popped up to the extent that it filled my field of vision. I got a lot. All stats +20, skill proficiency increase potion (A+), yers longsword stained in the abyss (A-), etc I was able to get more things than normal ordeals, befitting the 20th floor integrated ordeal. However, this is also a state where the right to increasepensation has not yet been applied I was looking forward to it. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated. How much more amazing the result of using the authority to increase reward. Chapter 232 232. Temple (5) Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated. When I applied the authority to increase the reward to the 20th floor ordeal clear reward, the result appeared immediately. The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Reward increase (1/2)]. The 20th floor breakthrough reward, All stats +20 has been strengthened to All stats +40. The 20th floor additional breakthrough reward Skill Proficiency Up Potion (A+) is enhanced to Skill Proficiency Up Potion (S-). The 20th floor additional breakthrough reward yers longsword stained by the abyss (A-) is enhanced to yers longsword that follows the abyss (A+). I smiled lightly at the unexpected situation where the reward was different. I never thought that all stat increase rewards would also be subject to the right to increase rewards. Until now, I didnt know that it was only activated by skills, authority, or items The authority to increase the reward seemed to activate even for ambiguous rewards such as increasing all stats. I thought the stats would be simr since rewards like points cannot be upgraded with authority. Satisfied with the unexpected gain, I looked around. It is deste. Suddenly, the ground was worn out and only ashes were scattered around. It is truly a gruesome sight. Virtually nothing to be found here. but. Still, there are still spoils left. In this uneven, cracked, ash-coverednd, there was something only I could take care of. Not different They were themanders who killed countless challengers and could not be absorbed. I immediately stretched out my hand and sucked in all the spirits on the 20th floor trial stage. You have absorbed the spirit of the challenger, Neng Yuchun. I have absorbed the spirit of the challenger, Ka Rath Absorbed the spirit of the challenger Gruer Martiel A sense of pleasure ran down his spine as he absorbed all of the thousands of dead spirits. Can you absorb this many spirits? Even if its not great if you look at each one, if you absorb all of them, you will definitely achieve some good growth. Thinking of that brought a smile to my lips. actually. Uses all possessed spirits to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength has increased by 16. Agility has increased by 14. Your physical strength has increased by 15. Magic power has increased by 19. Durability has increased by 14. As soon as he used themanders as they were, all of his stats greatly increased. That too on a huge level. He was even able to absorb thousands of spirits and extract skills. I cant even count how many skills Ive acquired. The skill designated target deceleration (A-) is created. The skill Abyssal Lineage (B-) is created The skill Knights Oath (A+) is created System messages filled my vision for a few minutes, then faded away. I guess the roughly acquired skills are in the double digits. So I opened the skill window and looked at some high-level skills, but There werent many good skills. Most of the low-grade skills are at a level that needs to be reced with divine power. For the reward obtained by winning against thousands of people, there is no sense of regret. Still, I couldnt help it. It would be better to increase the value appropriately through skill synthesis and then convert it into divine power. Necromancy is not something you can arbitrarily select and take. I touched my chin after confirming even the skills acquired through necromancy. What are the conditions for increasing the necromancy level? I couldnt understand. Killing Seir Nagrat, the God of Words, wasnt enough, so I killed two apostles Necromancys proficiency still hasnt risen at all from 99.99%. It bothered me. I thought killing a godhead would make me grow, but it doesnt seem like that, and its not like I kill a lot of random people It was frustrating because I couldnt find an answer even after thinking about it. Sorry. But that was only for a moment. Realizing that nothing would change even if I worried anyway, I moved to the portal. In any case, there is no need to stay here for long. and. Go to the waiting room. next moment. You have entered the waiting room on the 21st floor. Before I knew it, I was able to return to the stone chamber. *** As always, when I finished the ordeal and returned to the waiting room, I felt real. This time, he climbed the tower safely again and became even stronger than before. However, instead of extending my sentiments, I confirmed the results of my growth through the ordeal. Skill C Unextinguished mortal me (S-) Proficiency C 0.001% Description C It is the me of disaster that brings about mortal causality. Effect C Consumes 10% of body mana per second to create a mortal me that never goes out at will. The skill obtained as an achievement reward, Unextinguished Mortal me (S-), was as expected. Consuming 10% of the bodys mana per second to control a me with tremendous power. That was the skill called this unquenchable mortal me. With this, besides the Holy Light, Ive secured another skill for decisive battle. I smiled lightly at him. The unquenchable mortal me had the best performance in short-term battles. Should I say its worth consuming 10% of the mana in the body per second? You will be able to y an active part not only in battles with groups, but also in decisive battles between individuals. Ive acquired a great skill. However, this is not the only skill acquired. Skill C Target Deceleration (A-) Proficiency C 1.01% Effect C The user randomly designates a target and reduces all speeds by 40% for 1 minute. Finally, I also have a crowd control skill. Of course, it doesnt block the movement itself, but all speeds are reduced by 40% Still, I liked that there were no minor limitations and that it was not too difficult to use. Skill C Abyssal Lineage (B+) Proficiency C 18.7% Basic effect C Ashes dwell in the blood flowing through the body, and affinity with the abyss increases. Detailed Effects C It is possible to consume mana and bring in the cmity in the lineage in the form of magic. Among the acquired skills, this was the most deceptive skill. Should I say that it is useless to change it to divine power, and that it is ambiguous to have it again? Its unclear what brings misfortune in the form of witchcraft. In response, I immediately activated the skill with my fingertips. The skill Abyssal Lineage is activated. Invokes the cmity of the abyss that dwells in the lineage in the form of magic. And at the same time, the tips of his fingers were stained ck, and sharp ck tentacles sprouted from between them. The good thing is that he knows right away how to use it. The skill usage itself wasnt too difficult. I controlled the ck tentacle that sprouted from the tip of my finger with my will and shot it at the wall of the waiting room. very quickly too. In the blink of an eye, the ck tentacle that hit the wall of the stone chamber made a noise and stopped. Quagga! So far, the number of times Ive broken the walls of this stone chamber can be counted on my hands, so I wasnt too disappointed. It came to my eyes that it had such great power. The Abyssal Lineage skill should be at a level that can be used from time to time. So there was no need to change the skill into divine power. There wille a situation where I will use itter. After thinking about it, I released the ck tentacle and checked another skill. Skill C Knights Oath (A+) Proficiency C 9.7% Basic effect C By designating a target with the users will, a bond between them is created. Detailed effect C Reduces the amount of damage received from an opponent with a bond by 15% for 10 minutes. This side didnt have to look too long, it was worth having the skill. Thats quite enough. If youbine a knights oath with a damage reduction skill like Shock Block, damage reduction will shine even more in a 1:1 battle. I gave him a deep smile. Since challengers from other dimensions appear together, the level has definitely risen. This growth would not have been possible withoutrge-scale battles between challengers in many dimensions. Its because the skills the challengers had werent that high. This was certainly one of the advantages of increasingly difficult trials. It would have been difficult to obtain this many rewards if the one-on-one battle had not continued. Im looking forward to the integration ordeal that willeter. After checking all the newly acquired skills, I immediately upgraded the useless skills through skill synthesis. Inherent Authority Skill Synthesis has been activated. and. The authority Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Fortune temporarily and violently increases. Skill synthesis has beenpleted. A new skill is created. Subsequently, correction was added to skill synthesis with authority, and many good grades came out. Of course, that doesnt mean that the skill level has increased At this point, it was enough for the sacrifice to be reced with the holy power with the seal of offering. Skills with high ranks are of great help to the growth of divine power. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering (B) is activated. I received a total of 38 skills from myself. The corresponding abilities are converted into divine power and stored in the heart. As many skills disappeared, it was clearly felt that the divine power in the heart was inting. As I was concentrating on that sensation, a system message immediately appeared in my field of vision. Not different The grade of the authority Divine Power (A) will grow to the grade of Divine Power (A+). The Authority Divine Power (A+) will now be able to enhance skills as well. Divine power has grown. I didnt expect it, but I thought I could strengthen my skills with divine power Newly acquired skill enhancement was no different from power enhancement. Its just that instead of authority, skills can be strengthened. But the difference will be significant. It was worth it. How strong will it be if I strengthen a skill like a mortal me that cannot be quenched with holy power? If you strengthen the skills you have umted so far with divine power, you will be stronger than you imagined. Its fun. At that, I smiled and checked the reward for clearing the 20th floor. All stats increase by +40 are already known, so skip them. We looked at the Skill Proficiency Up Potion (S-) and the yers Longsword (A+) that Follows the Abyss sent to the inventory. Now Im looking at the 20th floor clear reward. Also in as much detail as possible. *** Skill Proficiency Up Potion Rating: S- A special potion specially produced by the tower for beings with skills. When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 60%. First of all, I looked at the skill proficiency increase potion, but I didnt see anything to pay attention to. A tremendous effect that can arbitrarily increase skill proficiency by 60%. Aside from this, there was nothing to look into too deeply. It was simr to another clear reward that popped up in the description window. The long sword of the yer who follows the abyss Rating: A+ A long sword forged with the madness of a yer who once followed the abyss. It was forged by the Abyss attribute, so if you subtract the power of light, most long swords cannot be harmed. When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect Abyssal Magic can be activated. In exchange for the users mental power, it bes possible to use Abyssal magic that can raise power from the abyss. Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect Seven Madness when used. In exchange for the users mental power, it is greatly maddened over seven turns, and the more crazy it is, the greater the physical ability. Even this item was of no use to me, who uses both the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Heaven Sword. None of the exclusive effects are very appealing. Perhaps if I use this, I wont be much stronger than I am now. So it didnt make any sense to use it. This is perfect as an offering to raise the level of the Fallen Sword. With that thought in mind, I immediately swung the broken sword and broke the Abyss-following yers Longsword (A+). Parka angle! Breaking Heaven Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the rank increases to S-ss (7200/50000). Still, the durability of the long sword was outstanding, so the level of the broken sword went up a lot. Then I drank the skill proficiency increase potion as it was. It wont be of much use anyway It was the judgment that it would be right to raise one skill proficiency. You have consumed the skill proficiency increase potion (S-). Select a skill to increase your proficiency. and. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skill, Unextinguished Mortal me (S-)s proficiency increases by 60%. Soon, I invested a skill proficiency increase potion into the unquenchable mortal me. It was worth it. Because this is the first decisive battle skill Ive acquired other than the holy light. Because the unquenchable mortal me was incredibly useful. Therefore, it was natural to raise the proficiency. Now that his proficiency has risen, he must have be more proficient at handling the unextinguished mortal me. Considering that, it was a good investment. If I get another skill proficiency potionter, Ill have to use it for the unquenchable mortal me. Feeling satisfied with that, I immediately activated one of my exclusive privileges. Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated. The manager-only secret shop will be opened. It was because he had to dispose of the points he received as a reward for clearing the 20th floor ordeal. You paid [250000] points to the admin-only secret shop. All stats increase by 5. Points dont mean much to me anymore, so it would be better to use them like this. Status window.

Are all abilities close to 400 already? Its been a while since I was happy that I had just reached 300 When I thought that I had grown so strong, I could feel the speed of my growth. Im guessing there wont be many fast-growing challengers like me at the top. But there was also a downside. A lot of useless powers have also increased. I was concerned about the increase in powers that I didnt even use properly. Of course, now most of them can be used to some extent. If it cameter, it was certain that even this would be one of the wastes of power. As time goes by and more powers umte, then you should use Power Integration (A-) to remodel the powers to be useful. Until then, Ill still have to collect useless powers. Checking the rewards has nowe to an end. After tidying up the situation to some extent, my mind calmed down and a memory suddenly came to my mind. It reminded me of what I had heard on the 11th floor stage when I was in the realm of the God of Proof. If you visit the Temple of Proof in Arester, I might be able to shed some light on your questions. At that time, the god of proof said that he would be able to solve my curiosity. Well, we havent been able to meet since then because weve been busy, but we still have time to talk. 21st floormon area. Ill wait for you at the Temple of Proof there. At that time, I will also clear your doubts. giant treebyrinth. At the event prepared by the tower, the god of proof spoke to me. If youe to the temple of proof, you will be able to solve your curiosity. Even the right to increase the reward, which is being put to good use, was said to be upgraded if you stop by the Temple of Proof. I didnt know anything else, but I couldnt ignore the upgrade of the reward increase authority. Now I can grow my authority to increase my reward. so. Go to themon area on the 21st floor. Now it was time to go to the Temple of Proof to keep that promise. Chapter 233 233. Common area on the 21st floor (1) I once stopped by themon area on the 10th floor. Move to themon area on the 21st floor. It was amon area where all the challengers in the Earth dimension gathered At that time, it was used as a ce to acquire various skills through the arena system. Thanks to that, I was able to create some good skills that I still use. I had never looked more deeply into themon areas than that. You have entered themon area on the 21st floor. Just Observation by the administrators will be possible without conditions after 10 minutes. At that time, I only thought that themon area was a ce where challengers could actively interact. But was there some kind of mistake? p-! When I opened my eyes, knights in ck armor were all around me and looking at me. I frowned at him in dismay. What is this again. He looked as if he knew he would be here. As I was watching it, a bad thought came to my mind for a moment. Could all these knights be challengers to the gods? Maybe some deity knew that I woulde to this ce and nned it in advance. In fact, during the trial on the 20th floor, the God of Bnce also said that he would sincerely oppose me. There were as many deities as one could imagine. And that was also why they had to send their followers to kill me. Im sure Im going to get in the way, so I might try to kill him right here. Of course, the Godheads must have known that nothing would happen if one of them performed < Advent > There was also the possibility that some of the knights present here were apostles of other gods. If so, it was pretty dangerous. That would be the case too. Its because the power of deification is on cooldown. If I dont use deification, it will be difficult to deal with more than one deity using < Advent >. In other words, it means that it is wise to take out right away in this ce. Perhaps, using the acquired skills, it would be possible to drag out time and run away. As I moved my hand to the hilt, I thought about what to do. That will increase your chances of escaping. But it was only for a while that I thought about it. Raising the tension, I put my hand on the de of the twin swords, and one of the knights came out in front and opened his mouth. We are the vigntes of themon area on the 21st floor. Unlike other knights, it was a knight wearing pure white armor. The manager who signed the contract with the affiliated dimension challenger nickname. By the way If you tell me all three, Ill give you ess to themon areas. As if all of this was a futile idea, the knight didnt say anything about the godhead. I just ask them to reveal the information as if threatening with a sword. Only then did I realize It means that they are not the same gods sent by the godhead. Did I worry for a long time unnecessarily? But that doesnt change the situation in their favour. The knights surrounding him now had a clear, albeit faint, tinge of murder. In other words, it means that they may try to kill me in case of emergency. Even the knights request is not justified. Is there anything else to do other than setting the ess to themon area with the same challengers? After all, thismon area on the 21st floor is just an exchange space created by the tower. It didnt look like they were arguing whether to go in or out with this. But didnt the article think so? You are not given the right to ask such questions. He said with a thicker breath. Suuu-! If you do not cooperate, you will be arrested and interrogated, so it will be beneficial for you to answer meekly. It was as if someone like me could be overpowered at any time. At this point there is nothing more to see. I twitched the corner of my mouth and smiled at him. I didnt expect it toe out so violently Arrest and interrogate Rather, it went well. Do whatever you want. Even if it wasnt, it was a car I was curious about. If you can do that. How far will the newly acquired skills go? *** In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere calmed down. The silence reminds me of the night before the storm. But that didntst long either. He must be after all, he made such a foolish choice. It was because the knight in the pure white armor began to overflow with the thickest flesh. If you dont answer the question, it means youre a viin. and. Curse that shameless life and die. In the blink of an eye, a knight in pure white armor pulled out a long sword and swung it brilliantly. I nced at the sword attack that continued in an amicable trajectory, and inside Iughed. It was worth it. Even though he could put a me-like aura on his sword, the level wasnt that high. Its just about being able to freely handle the nature of sword me. to the point of ridicule I never thought Id reach the level of sword me that I had alreadypleted on the 13th floor until the 21st floor Even though my growth is slow, its too slow. If he grew up like that, wouldnt he be able to deal with swordsmanship only after reaching the 30th floor? But thats why it was suitable as an opponent to test a new skill. In this way, I can use the skill as I want without hesitation. In response, I took a big step back to avoid the sword me and immediately reached out my left hand. The skill Abyssal Lineage is strongly activated. Shririk! And at the same time, the divine power was consumed, and ck tentacles sprouted from the fingertips and stretched out here and there. It was quite different from the skill effect I used when I was in the waiting room. It was worth it. Its because I applied the ability of skill enhancement, which is an A+ grade divine power effect. Skills that are strengthened with divine power are like this. The ck tentacles were running faster and more ferociously than before. has definitely changed very strong too. Admiring how much stronger he was than before, I manipted the ck tentacles and pierced several ck knights intact. Lets go! Keah kuh uh! I cant breathe Eyes eyes eyes! shit! I cant see ahead! Rotten! Was it a devil worshiper who had mastered the magic of the abyss! Watch out everyone! Surprisingly, it seems that there was an additional effect on the Abyssal lineage skill. Those whose bodies were pierced by the ck tentacles all copsedining of different pains. Is that what happens when you get hurt by the ck tentacles? I smiled at him, controlling the ck tentacles with my fingertips. Its a better ability than I thought. Presumably, getting hit by the ck tentacles seemed to randomly paralyze one of the five senses. There is no injury more fatal than losing your five senses in battle. Originally, I thought it would be a kind of skill because I could only use ck tentacles Surprisingly, it seemed worthwhile to try using it a bit more. It was then. Because youre like this demon! Ill ughter all those ugly fingers! Sucker-! The sword of the knight in pure white armor was swung around, cutting off some of the ck tentacles. Well, the ck tentacles arent part of my body anyway, so theres no damage But I felt a little bad. Being a nuisance. In response, I immediately activated the skill by consuming additional divine power. Skill Deceleration on designated target is strongly activated. Challenger Greg Lizzlets all speeds are reduced by 40% for 4 minutes. Satisfied to see that the duration of the skill has been increased by 4 times from the original due to being strengthened by divine power. It was embarrassing. The skill effect itself didnt get stronger, but the increased duration of the skill is sufficient reinforcement. A 40% reduction in all speeds was by no means a small debuff. Attack speed, movement speed, action speed, etc Because its downgrading a lot of speeds by 40% at once. actually- Damn Damn! The snow-white knight was moving his body as if his movements were blocked by an invisible force. With this, even the pure white knights with decent skills are now excluded . Its very simple too. Lets go, lets go! The ck tentacles created by the Abyssal Lineage skill stabbed countless knights in the blink of an eye. With that, the battle was virtually over. That would be the case too Ughhhhhh! Oh, the darkness! Darkness arrives! Hee-hee! Who has bugs in their eyes! There are bugs crawling in my eyes. Hahahaha! Abyss, abyss! The abyss swallows everything! It was because the knights stabbed by the ck tentacles soon developed hallucinations. It was not enough to seal one of the five senses, so it even caused delirium It was a skill that a challenger with a bad taste would have really liked if he had acquired it. However, I didnt want to waste time, so instead of maximizing delirium with the ck tentacles, I extended my ck tentacles down at the white knight. Do you think youre going to get hit by the magic of the abyss!! The knight in pure white armor swung his sword in such rage, but a state where all speeds were reduced by 40% by the skill decelerate target target. Therefore, the ck tentacles pierced the pure white armor without being cut by the sword, and inflicted effective blows on him. Woowook! Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! And at the same time, a scream erupted from him, and sobs lingered in his ears. Has this roughly settled the situation? Even the pure white knight who seemed to be the head of the knights was subdued Now there was nothing to hold back. Soon after, I deactivated the Abyssal Lineage skill and approached the pure white knight. Is there no resistance to this type of skill? He was lying on the floor, wriggling like an earthworm. Kkeukkeuheu. Now we can talk quietly to each other. Hehe. What the hell did you do to me! I have no right to question you. Wow! Returning the words the white knight had told me earlier, I immediately stepped on his torso. The skill Pain Amplification is activated. From now on, the opponent you deal damage will feel the pain twice as much. As soon as blood flowed from the site pierced by the ck tentacles, the pure white knight let out a moan. At that, I looked down at the squirming pure white knight and clicked my tongue. He was busy crying out in pain on a topic that he had been talking about so much before. Holding back the scorn that slowly built up, I opened my mouth. Why did you try to dig up information about me? However, the pure-white knight trembled in pain and fought wildly. I have nothing to tell you, a bug. Arent you ashamed to use such dirty power? very. As expected the evil one is the evil one. That sin will surely be paid back someday. An idiot who gave his soul to the abyss. I sighed as I saw the pure white knight teasing me harshly. The challengers in another dimension are this guy and that guy, and there is no normal person I was dumbfounded to see me calling me a viin even though I was the one who struck first. It was all the more so because he didnt know that he really believed that he was justice. But it was only for a moment that he let out a sigh like that. The snow-white knight who had been trampled on by his feet gave an eerie smile. Phehe. Its useless to ask anything. As a knight, I wont tell the wicked anything. Do you think its like making a noble sacrifice? Seeing the pure-white knight showing his determined resolve, I smiled. If you dont want to give me a proper answer, just make me think about it. okay? and. Then shall we find out how long we can hold out? next moment. The skill Torture Skill is activated. From now on, you can use a more natural torture method. It bes easier to instill fear and the efficiency of all types of torture increases by 10%. It shed and created ck tentacles at the fingertips. Chapter 234 234. Common area on the 21st floor (2) Time has passed. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! A time that is neither too long nor too short. However, he tortured the knight in pure white armor using all avable skills. Pain amplification and torture techniques. Needless to say, the two skills he had acquired in the past were well worth it, and the newly acquired Abyssal Lineage skill was also quite effective. The skill Abyssal Lineage is strongly activated. Thats a lot. There are many abilities that are not in the skill effect. Originally, there were many good abilities in many ways, such as sealing one of the five senses or causing delirium Is it a new effect of A+ grade divine power? The ck tentacles created by the Abyssal Lineage skill seemed to prate even the willpower of the enemy and cut them down greatly. So, there was no way he could withstand the interrogation reinforced with various skills. Keuk keuhuk! I will tell you! Ill tell you, please stop! The knight in pure white armor soon gave in and shouted that he would tell me the information. The skill Abyssal Lineage is deactivated. Slowly In response, I inserted the ck tentacles created with the Abyssal Lineage skill and lowered my gaze. Aside from the blood loss, it doesnt look like its seriously injured, but thats just because I didnt touch it enough to cripple one area. The blood loss itself was already to the extent that it would not be strange even if it had reached death. Perhaps it has abilities that increase survivability. It wasnt that I didnt understand. Anyway, even if you buy some useful survival skills in the store and increase your proficiency, this will be enough. Of course, if he wanted to stop the recovery itself, there would have been infinite ways to stop it, whether it was Shinhwa or Geomgang. But it didnt. I have something to ask of this snow-white knight. You said you were the vigntes of thismon area on the 21st floor, right? Thats right. Because order was needed in themon areas. So-. Thats something I didnt ask. From now on, just answer my questions. Filter out useless words. i get it. I felt a small sense of resentment in the voice of the knight in pure white armor. I thought about whether I should correct his disquieting attitude for a while but time is wasted. It would be better to stop by the Temple of Proof as soon as possible andplete the authority to increase the reward rather than investing time on someone who is not worthy. Having concluded that, I immediately opened my mouth. Why did they surround you as soon as they entered themon area? Thats because there are designated ces for challengers to enter in themon area. The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects that there is no lie in the opponents words. This is the unquestionable truth. Have you ever been told by anyone to kill a challenger who appears in this ce separately? Not that it hasnt happened, but at least its not like you. The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects that there is no lie in the opponents words. Even this is the truth. Why were these guys targeting me? At this point, I couldnt figure out why I was living like that and making the situation worse. So I asked honestly. As for why he was intent on killing me. And when I heard that answer, Iughed dumbfounded. He would too Because most of the people whoe here are small-dimensional challengers What came out of his mouth was the tant truth. I thought he would be an easy-going challenger, so he went so far as to live like that. Now I know the situation. It wasnt like the godhead secretly tampered with it. Its just that the challenger forces in themon area really tried to exploit the weak. Understanding that brought a twisted smile to my lips. Is it because Im weak It wasnt like this when I thought that the godhead sent the followers with the mindset to weigh me down. When he finds out the truth of the incident without knowing why, his anger rises. Emotions were stimted as if overflowing a little. Then you wouldnt have thought of letting go even if I gave you the information? . A challenger in a small dimension that would not hurt even if touched would have been arrested right away. Thats Then you must have exploited me as you have done to others. Thats not true Really not? Hearing his reply as if evasive, I couldnt help butugh out loud. It was worth it. The message that popped up in the corner of my field of vision was telling me that he was wrong. Thats very certain. The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects lies in the opponents words. Its interesting. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. It seems like they were trying to extort a lot from me Just like they originally tried to exploit me for being a challenger from a minor dimension. Now we can turn our backs on each other and think about it. Now it was time for me to return it in reverse. Give me everything you have. *** All challengers can use the inventory inside the tower. Thanks to that, it had an overwhelming advantage in storing things. You can put any number of items in your inventory. Oh, of course, there are no restrictions on the inventory at all, but there were almost no inventory expansions as they climbed the floor. Even I, who acquired numerous items, couldnt fill up my inventory. Its a huge benefitpared to not being able to store many items on the lower floors. For reference, all the knights currently scattered on the floor are challengers who have reached the waiting room on the 21st floor. Most of the items obtained through countless trials are kept inside the inventory. In a word, they are all living treasure troves. So I woke up all the knights, starting with the pure white knight, and plundered the items in the inventory. Also very thoroughly. Turn off! Can not be done! You vicious son of a bitch! Thats the ring I have to give to my fianc! Of course, some of the knights objected to the item being taken from the inventory You mean you want it back because its okay if it dies? If this is more important than life, I can give it back. Oh no no no. yes. Now that I think about it, I think I can buy a new ring. Is it because the exclusive effect obtained from the Ascension effect before, Persuasion (C+) dwells in me? Since he spoke kindly, most of the knights understood and became quiet. Until now, they stayed on the cold floor for a long time, so they all shivered, as if they were getting cold. Still, he didnt have too many regrets about handing over the item to me. even- The skill Steel Feed is activated. Nelm-. uh. Could it be that you ate that item? Did I see it wrong? A lie you ate something? Thats an item worth 400,000 points! Huh hahahahaha! And burning B-grade items in just one meal? He kindly disposed of the items while they were looking and helped them to get rid of their lingering feelings. It must be painful to have hope for nothing. That wasnt all. Doesnt it hurt your stomach if you gave it to yourself but others are hiding it? You really dont have hidden items anymore? I searched all over to see if they were hiding anything, lest they be thought of as unfair plunder. It was impossible to hide anything. Thats probably the case too The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects lies in the opponents words.] Because I have a skill that can discern lies. As it was, it swallowed countless items or changed them into holy power, and it became a decent growth. Completely absorbed. Muscle strength increases by 1. Stamina increases by 2. Durability increases by 4. Magic power increases by 1. Completely absorbed. The constitution is improved by absorbing steel. 7.8% of the turbid air umted in the body is discharged. In addition, the turbid air umted in the body is discharged, and the body feels lighter. heard this Items that were reced with divine power also increased the amount of divine power. Satisfied. I thought I was wasting my time needlessly, but should I say that I seem to have sucked honey without my knowledge A message popped up in my field of vision as I was smiling lightly at the thought of having benefited. The achievement Loot Genius has been achieved.] The skill Theft (B+) is created. I never thought that a B+ ss skill would be created just because of something like this. I wonder if this is such a big deal. Still, since it was a newly acquired skill, it was necessary to confirm it. So I immediately read the skill window, but it wasnt the kind of skill I wanted. Is it a skill that temporarily reduces presence and increases stats when someone steals something? Probably not a bad skill for those who mainly use plunder. But not for me. This theft skill, in a nutshell, is an ability that shines in a situation of stealing things and running away It seemed that the conditions to use the theft skill were not well prepared. I dont think its meaningless even if I have it. Then there is no need to let go of the skill. He immediately reced his stealing skill with divine power. Then, he passed the scattered knights as if weeping, and returned to the knight wearing pure white armor. He looked at me trembling as if he hadnt thought he woulde back but its rather strange to go back like this. Wow, I answered most of what I wanted, but why did youe back! No way you want to break your promise and kill me! very? Youre not worth killing all of them. Kuhm. Then why the hell did youe back? Its not that important, but I have a question. ? Dont worry, Ill leave right away if you tell me this. That would be the case Tell me in detail where the temple of proof is. Its right to look at a map before going to the ce you want. *** Time didnt take long. The pure white knight quickly told me where to go to find the Temple of Proof. It was worth it. Because I know that lies dont work for me anyway. Its going smoothly. Come to think of it, maybe I was lucky to run into self-proimed vigntes. If he hadnt gone through one round of battle, he wouldnt have grown so small. If that wasnt enough, he would have had to travel to the area where the other challengers were gathered to find out where the Temple of Proof was. Looking at the results, it was a win-win. Its just Vignte. The problem was that by keeping these knights alive, other members of the vignte might show up. Presumably, he wouldnt try to stop retaliation in a situation where all items were taken away. Oh, of course, I thought it would be okay in its own way, so I sent it alive. You can use them as bait to bring more profit. If I can run into them again, it would be nice if they were more skilled. Immediately after that, I smiled and touched the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and said. Come to think of it, Dam Cheonwoo also climbed the tower in the past. Was there a group like the vigntes back then? Maybe I can find out some information about a group called vigntes. D But for some reason, there was no answer from Damcheonwu. Only then was I able to notice. Looking back on his memory, he found that Dam Chun-wus words had suddenly decreased drastically. I thought with my eyes closed. what. Its probably been this way since the conversation with the God of Bnce on the 20th floor unification ordeal. For some reason, there was no response after talking to the god of bnce. It looks like someone who has lost a significant amount. There was something that caught me as I quickly rummaged through my memories, feeling ufortable for some reason. Yes. i know you Because you also tried to break the bnce of many things. But in the end, you couldnt achieve the towers secret wish either. At that time, the god of bnce looked at Dam Chun-wu and said that he tried to break the bnce, but it ended without fulfilling the towers secret wish. It seems like you are waiting for the moment of choice, but it seems that even that has not been properly decided. And the story of waiting for the moment of choice but not deciding it. Still, I dont hate that selfish choice. That selfish choice of yours will also be bnced. After thinking over thest line left by the God of Bnce, I finally got a bit of an outline. Possibly, Damcheonwu was thinking about something even while nestled in the Bloodcheon Demon Sword. I dont know what it is, but its a new opportunity and a selfish choice. Considering the talk, I dont think its very good. Maybe its to the point of being able to gain a new life as a challenger I wonder if its just that Im worried because Im at a crossroads of choice. . Even if you pretend not to be, Dam Chun-wu is surprisingly quitemon sense. Even though it is nested in an item with a soul ego, it is quite cooperative. So maybe its because hes attached to me and doesnt get new opportunities? I didnt know why, but I had that intuition. . It cannot be dismissed as an unfounded leap. Because my senses themselves are working as one logic by virtue of my numerous abilities. If you felt that way, you would be right. Lets say youre waiting for the time when you can get a new life. I guess thats probably the moment of choice hes waiting for DWhat did you say? But before I could even begin to think, I immediately stopped thinking at the voice I heard. If I think about it now, it probably wont matter too much anyway. Soon after, I shook my head and scattered my worries. Then, he listened to Dam Chun-wus words. DI couldnt hear what you said because I was thinking about it. Were you talking about something very important? no. not so important I was going to ask about themon areas beyond the 20th floor. DAh, its because of those ignorant people I saw entering themon area on the 21st floor. yes. -Theres nothing to worry about. Even when I climbed the tower, there werent any guys that great. If anything, it would be okay to beat them all and go to the next floor. I see Surprisingly, even when I asked about vigntes, I couldnt find out anything. They just say that they are beings that have nothing to do with anything. But even this was enough. Itll be worth fighting after stopping by the Temple of Proofter. Should I say its a concept like a dessert eaten after eating the main dish? At least it didnt seem like a waste of time. I dont think theres anything to worry about about the back of the vignte. So You have entered the < Proof >, themon temple area on the 21st floor. Chapter 235 235. 21st Floor Common Area (3) Rights to Increase Compensation. With the authority previously received from the God of Proof in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, this could increase the level of rewards received in the Tower. Even though its a huge exclusive privilege that anyone would want to have Every time I felt the usefulness of the privilege to increase the reward while climbing the tower, I felt great regret. It was worth it. Unlike the original, my right to increase my reward doesnt give out all of my original power. It can be said that I received only half of the authority to increase thepensation. In the past, the god of proof handed over the authority to increase the reward, which was only half the price, and said. Later, visit the Temple of Proof in themon area on the 21st floor. At that time, he said that he would upgrade the authority to increase the reward and let him know what he wanted. So, ever since I returned to the tower, I have been breaking through the levels without a break. A lot of things happened, but if you look at it in terms of time, it wouldnt have flowed that much. In fact, it could be said that because of this, he climbed the top as quickly as possible. The authority to increase the reward, which multiplied the growth rate, was more important than anything else. Because I had so many enemies inside and outside the tower, I didnt have much time. In order to survive against powerful enemies that woulde unexpectedly, he had to be stronger than he is now. And Now I canplete the authority to increase the reward. I thought as I looked at the white-tinted architecture seen over the rugged meadow. You have entered the 21st floormon temple area < Proof >. It is finally time to upgrade the authority to increase the reward. In response, I immediately jumped with strength in my legs and was able to move in front of the temple in an instant. There were a few passers-by who seemed to be challengers in the temple but none of them cared about me. That should be the case too The special power Ghost Magic is activated. All energy has been converted to a state of being blocked. because it is put They said it was blocked. Energy such as magical power and divine power, as well as trivial signs, were saved without waste. Its so creepy too. Is it because its not an SS-ss power? I never thought you would be able to recognize me this clearly. Satisfied with the surprising unexpected effect, I slowly moved my steps and looked around. The appearance of the temple grounds with mirrors everywhere was a scene that reminded me of the 11th floor stage. The 11th floor stage was also made up of numerous mirrors. Of course, I didnt care too much, so I turned my head and walked inside the temple. I didnt know exactly where I was going but there was no hesitation in my movements. It was worth it. Ill have to go in the direction where the presence is as intense as possible. After all, I am in the position of being invited by the god of proof. So it would be right to tell the situation to the person with the highest level of power in this temple. The higher the divinity level, the stronger the bond with the deity, so if you are a strong personparable to an apostle, you will surely know that you have been invited by the god of proof. That was when I walked for a few minutes along the corridors of the temple where mirrors were scattered here and there. About this? I found a prayer room where I felt a lot of divine power. I admired the flow of divine power that I could feel through my skin, narrowing my eyes. The apostle on the other side reached the same level as the aria seen in the giant treebyrinth. Beingparable to Aria, the official apostle of the God of Darkness, means thatmunication with the godhead is also possible. Theres no need to procrastinate. At that, I opened the door to the prayer room where I could feel the divine power Then, as soon as the door opened wide, a calm voice came from within the prayer room. The oracle came down after a long time, so I wondered why The young man with green hair in a monks habit turned his head as if he had just finished praying. I never imagined that such a special guest woulde. and. You worked hard to get here. Seeing him talking to me as politely as possible, I smiled. I didnt even think about it It seems that the God of Proof was considerate of me and ced an oracle in advance. Very detailed too. You are the candidate for transcendence chosen by the Tower. Maybe the things you can get will increase. *** This cultist is called Carnil, a 4th-level official apostle. Carnil. The one who called himself a 4th-level official apostle soon brought out a soft smile. Should it be called an unexpected procedure skip? I thought we would have to spend some time talking to each other when we came to the temple. The story progressed neatly, as if the god of proof with good sense had prepared everything in advance. Seeing that the oracle came down, it seems that you already know about the situation. exactly. Among the candidates chosen by the tower, he is more special than anyone else. He said he knew how to prove himself. Is that so. Theres no point in having a long conversation with each other anyway. I heard that you wish to meet the God of Proof. So, what to do is already decided. ? Hearing his words, I immediately tilted my head. what? Its like I have something else to do. I thought I would be able to meet the god of proof right away, but it didnt seem to be the case. Just as I was about to be slightly disappointed, Carnil saw my face and nodded as if he understood. Looking at your face, it seems like a pity that you couldnt meet God right away. Thats right. Its like Im invited. I didnt know what else to do. You might think so. But dont be discouraged. Is this because of the headwinds of causality? The causal rate? When I questioned him, Carnil responded softly. Those who have risen to the position of godhead are bound by thew of cause and effect. It is subject to thew of cause and effect. Thats why we cant meet right away. Cause and effect Ah, by the way, Ive seen causality before. Such was the case with < Cause and Reversal > attached to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. ording to the description, it was said to create a causal rate that must win. Until now, I thought it would randomly provide buffs suitable for the situation It seems that there was a higher-level principle than that. Its interesting. It might be an opportunity to learn a little about the words I heard sometimes while climbing the tower. If its something you need to know anyway, it wont matter if you know it now. I immediately asked him again. Its aw that even the Godhead is subordinated to. Where else does thate from? A godhead is a being that partially transcends even thews. Where is it? Its from the top. Only this iprehensible structure has enough power to entangle a deity. Tuk-tuk. Carnil lightly tapped the floor with his foot and said that, and only then did he know where thew of causality came from. Ah I understand. If its the top, its worth it. It wouldnt be strange if the tower disapproved of all deities. In the first ce, the tower was hoping for transcendental power to kill all the gods. I didnt know what thew of causation was, but if it was a constraint that restrained the godhead, the tower was worth making. In a word, causality is the least restrictive. To prevent the deities from excessively changing the world. Carnil showed some understanding, so he moved on to the next story. Thew of causation is thew that says that because there is a cause, there is an effect That much legitimacy is required for a deity to exert influence over mortals. Is legitimacy supposed to pay for divine power? Simr. You must have been through it a few times. If the gods try to interfere with the tower, they will know what to pay the tower. Then the divine power must be correct. Carnil nodded. To borate, things like divinity and loss of faith are added. I roughly understood. Thew of causation is cause and effect. If there is no reasonable cause that can lead to a result, the cost must be met with the power of the godhead. However, if he lost his power like that every time he showed his influence, most of his divinities would have been extinguished. But if you take all those risks, theres nothing God can do. Therefore, there is a trick that can pass the causal rate. Then, there must be a way where you dont have to pay the price I was sure. Otherwise, the deities wouldnt have been able to install it so actively. Since there was such a thing as a trick, it was clear that he enjoyed his rights that way by avoiding legitimacy such as causality. It seems I have to go through the process of avoiding paying the price in order to meet the god of proof. As if my thoughts were correct, Carnil eximed with his eyes wide open. oh. I didnt tell you, but Ill figure it out there. He must have had a knack for using his head. Am I right? exactly. Thew of causality, in a nutshell, doesnt matter what the divine person does as long as there is a cause suitable for the result. So, a procedure to fill the cause is necessary. okay. I didnt get anyints about not being able to upgrade my right to increase rewards right away. It was worth it. After listening to the exnation, I realized how difficult it was to have the authority to increase the reward as well as answer various questions. The causalw itself may not have been established. Perhaps, in order to give power such as the right to increasepensation, because of the causality rate, the extinction of the godhead might have to be considered With that in mind, it was understandable that I couldnt immediately receive the right to increasepensation. If the causalw is covered by the disappearance of the power of the godhead, saying that the exclusive authority will be upgraded, it is no different from the truth. It wasnt shameful enough to wish for it. So what should I do topensate for the causal rate? Soon, I skipped all conversations and immediately asked how to meet the god of proof. What do you need to do to upgrade your rewards increase privileges and get the information you want? And Carnil returned the answer right away without hesitation. And very briefly. Simple. At the same time as he spoke, Carnil touched the floor of the prayer room with his foot It means that a result appropriate to a cause should have adversity enough to produce a result. From that point on, system messages quickly appeared in my field of vision. Conditions satisfied. The 4th-level formal apostle Carnil has requested to enter the < Proof >. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is designated as an attendant and will be able to enter the < Proof >. And. What you have to do wont be very different. next moment. I have entered the < Proof Field > of the Sacred Zone. In the blink of an eye, I was transported from the prayer room to a green meadow. *** Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Prove yourself here. Is that what the God of Proof wants? The moment I looked at the meadow where no wind blows. Carnil continued his speech with an undisturbed expression. I didnt know that the space would change so swiftly Maybe its because Im quite used to the space changing anyway, so I didnt care, and I listened to Carnils words. < The Field of Proof > is a ce where many ascetics who serve the gods gather. Among them, there are official apostles. But none of them have gone beyond this ce. Carnil smiled expectantly and said. Please clear all < Proof Fields > ssified into 4 stages. and. Then you will be able to obtain numerous rewards and the things promised by the God of Proof. As soon as he finished speaking, a system message popped into his field of vision. The Sacred Zone < Proof Field [Step 1] > task has urred. Task Description: Defeat the enemy with the highest proficiency weapon with the lowest proficiency weapon. Task Sess Conditions : Win from practitioners who meet the conditions with weapons with very low proficiency (0/10) Task Sess Reward: Clear Stage 1 All stats +10 Potion to increase skill proficiency (B+) Then system message After reading all of it, my eyes shed with interest. Defeate an enemy with a high-skilled weapon with a low-skilled weapon Task contents and task rewards. It was so interesting that nothing could be ignored. Even the all stats +10 and skill proficiency increase potion (B+) that can be obtained as a task sess reward were especially so. A chance to get a skill proficiency increase potion that was not easily obtained despite clearing countless trials Fun. < Chapter of Proof >. In this supreme stage prepared by the God of Proof, it seemed that there was much to gain besides the right to increase the reward. Chapter 236 236. Common area on the 21st floor (4) I wish you the blessing of proof. Carnil immediately said that to me as if praying and then disappeared. Im guessing its possible to use space movement, so it must have returned to its original position. But something like that was fine. Because there is something else that really matters. The Sacred Zone < Proof Field [Step 1] > task has urred. Task Description: Defeat the enemy with the highest proficiency weapon with the lowest proficiency weapon. Task Sess Conditions : Win against practitioners who meet the conditions with weapons with very low proficiency (0/10) Task Sess Reward: Clear Stage 1 All stats +10 Potion to increase skill proficiency (B+) < Proof of Proof Chapter [Step 1] > had to be cleared. Only then can you get this sess reward and move on to the next step. Of course,pared to the ordeal of the tower, the description of the sess conditions is unkind . All stats +10 increase and skill proficiency increase potions are not something that can be ignored. Due to many stat increases, even a single stat increase now shows overwhelming efficiency. But all stats +10 increase? To be sure, this is no small feat. Even the Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) was even more valuable than this. Being able to increase skill proficiency without any conditions just by consuming items is a huge merit. If you use the skill proficiency potion well, you can grow the undying mortal me. The Unextinguished Mortal me (S-) acquired in the 20th floor integration ordeal was a skill thatpeted for the first line in destructive power even though it did not know the durability. In a nutshell, it means that it is a skillparable to the holy light . So, if you use the skill proficiency increase potion you get in this < Proof Field [Step 1] >, you might be almost on the brink of growth. It was natural to be attractive. Im looking forward to how greatly the clear reward will change each time I go to the next level. As I was feeling drawn to the reward that was to be giventer, a voice suddenly came into my head. DIts amazing. I never thought that Gods task would appear like this. Is it because it is a temple inside the tower? It was Damcheonwoo. DOf course, the conditions for the sess of the task are a bit tricky. Still, its worth the hard work. He spoke as if he was enjoying himself, as if his silence up until now was a lie. He seemed to be thinking about something Dam Chun-wu quickly regained his vitality as if his worries had been sorted out. I smiled at him and then opened my mouth. But it wont take long. I was not worried about the process, even though I was looking forward to the reward I would get from clearing the < Chapter of Proof >. It was worth it. The power umted so far is not focused only on abilities such as skills or authority. Countless battle experiences. The experience umted to a level that can be called a veteran will shine regardless of any restrictions. So The task of the < Proof Field [Step 1] > in the Sacred Ground begins . Win against the opponent. If you use powers not rted to spearmanship, it will not be considered a sess. All items will be unusable until the task sess condition is met. Now its time toplete the task in earnest. all. *** The system message floated, and at the same time a in steel polearm appeared in the air. In response, I immediately reached down, grabbed the window, and browsed the item description window. However, after reading the description, I couldnt help but be disappointed. That would be the case too Spear of the Ascetic Grade: B+ A long spear made of steel made by an unknown cksmith and very suitable for training. This long spear has high durability and should be destroyed by external factors. It is automatically repaired. This long spear made of steel was nothing more than an automatic repair item with high durability. Add attack speed, add action speed, add reaction speed, etc There is also no basic buff that is consistently attached to low-grade items. Maybe if I offered this to another challenger, wouldnt he say he wouldnt take it even if I gave it to him? In a nutshell, are you trying to prevent me from covering my skills with items? I didnt even want something like an item-only effect. Still, I didnt know that there would be no basic buff. Quite a bit of equipment has effects that can be called basic buffs. But the disappointment was only momentary. It doesnt matter, since I have topete with my skills anyway. Immediately after that, I started walking through the meadow holding a long spear in my hand. Is it because all of the equipped items have been converted to an unusable state? Unlike before, I felt like my body was slightly heavier. Perhaps because it was ssified as one of the item-only effects, he could no longer talk to Dam Chun-wu, so he silently walked through the meadow. And [The power skill skill Magical Operation is activated.] By delicately scattering the mana within the body, he began to sense the people in the meadow. In the blink of an eye, about 40 people were captured in the expansion. that too exactly. Therefore, it was possible to perceive their energy, albeit faintly. Except for about 10 people, all of them seem to be insignificant There was a considerable difference in skill among the practitioners, as if they were not all at the same level. By the way. When the conditions for task sess are set, are the human conditions also assumed? The number of talented people caught in the spirit was a number that fit the number of victories presented as a condition for task sess. If you think rationally, this means that each of these talented yers has different conditions for victory. Namely-. If you defeat these 10 people, it means that < Proof Field [Step 1] > will be cleared for now. Thanks to that, you dont have to bother to search here and there. As I focused my senses on the ces where the talented practitioners were, I could immediately tell which weapons they were using. Whip, Mace, Shield, etc There were some who used something more novel than expected as their main weapon, but among them, there were also those who used weapons that they knew well. and. Is the spearman over there? After sensing, I immediately approached the monk holding the spear. I moved to a section where there were no attendants to avoid encountering other people as much as possible. It was worth it. Because we dont know what kind of character the practitioners who stay in the < field of proof > have. Of course, even if I ran into another monk, it would be possible to subdue him at the end of the battle . How many minutes did it take? Before I knew it, I saw a young man with scarlet hair leaning against a tree holding a spear. The system message said that he must be the most skilled spearman. Actually, the idea was not wrong. That should be the case too Conditions satisfied. Faced an ascetic who can handle the spear best in the sacred zone. In a duel with the ascetic Kirlujian, do not rule out spearmanship and win. Spear A system message popped up as soon as I approached the young man who was sitting with a *** Its as I thought. As I had sensed in advance, all 10 people with the highest level of pure skill were my goals. Should I say that I feel like I have solved the problem and scored on the answer sheet? I liked it because I thought that from now on, all I had to do was fight the battles with those I had actually found through my senses. Even if I dont, I dont like having to fight with a weapon with low proficiency. If I had to reason, it would be the worst. At least I can concentrate on my task now. Satisfied with that, I continued walking, and the spearmans gaze suddenly moved to me. He looked at me for a second and then slightly squinted his eyes. Its like retrieving old memories. But that was only for a moment. Its the first time Ive seen a face that I cant remember. After thinking about it, the spearman decided that I was an unknown person, so he started talking like that. Are you sure youre a neer to the < Proof Field > for the first time? Thats right. her! I hope there will be new arrivals here. I thought no new recruits would show up since no one came in for 40 years There are always exceptions. Responding roughly to his question, I spoke in a calm manner. I dont want to talk too long. At this point, do you have no choice but to notice the situation? He nodded his head as if he understood before long, and closed his eyes. I think I know why you came here. Did youe to seed in the task you received from God? The attitude is not so surprising. I think you knew. okay. Because this is such a ce. There are not too few tasks where a battle between practitioners is a condition for sess. Is that so. I never thought a guy like me would be assigned as a task condition. You are not very lucky either. Kirluzian then rose from his seat and lightly turned the steel spear once. But, unfortunately, I dont take the situation so badly. His eyes narrowed as if he had seen something. The tasks of < The Field of Proof > reveal the weakest part of the practitioner. You youll probably have to defeat me with an unskilled spearmanship. Right? Still, is it that he has been practicing here for a long time in his own way? I nodded my head without hiding it at the perfect reasoning without a single mistake. It didnt matter much because I didnt have any intention of hiding the conditions for the sess of the task. Even if you hide these things anyway, the only thing you can do is create a small variable. As you said, I must defeat you with spears. So can we start right away? In response, I pointed the key at Lujian while holding the spear tight, saying that I didnt want to talk anymore. and. Hoo. Youre belligerent Its not bad, its not bad but I need to tell you a little bit about reality. next moment. Dont be resentful. neer. Defeat is one of the lessons to be learned here. hook-! In the blink of an eye, the long spear held by Lujian at the key was shot out, and there was a short gong sound. Even with all 400 stats and physical abilities, he was able to miss the trail even for a moment. In a nutshell, all abilities of the spearman in front of him had to be at least level 300. No, maybe its on a levelparable to me. Its fun. Its been a long time since I faced an enemy with such high pure physical ability, and my emotions were heightened. However, the regrettable thing was that what I was holding in my hand was not a sword, but a spear. So, it was necessary to put some safety measures on. Its not different just like this. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The users concentration increases tenfold. With this, Ive earned enough time to think All the rest of the skills were filled with things that werent involved in spearmanship. The skill Shock Block is activated. The skill Knights Vow is activated. A bond with the trainee Kirlujian is created. Damage received from the bonded opponent is reduced by 10 minutes. It is reduced by 15% for the duration. The ability to reduce damage obtained from skills should have nothing to do with spearmanship. Then, it is the right choice to make it advantageous in the long battle with damage reduction activated. The damage reduction skill obtained from the 20th floor integration ordeal was added together, so the total of the damage reduction was 45% . These skills are not significantly rted to spearmanship. They do not affect the task sess conditions. In reality, the system acknowledged that it was irrelevant as it was a skill not rted to spearmanship. So there was nothing to shy away from. Whoa-! Raising all his strength, he swung the spear as if kicking out a spear shot by Lujian. Anyway, the physical ability would be higher this way, so it was the intention to remove the spear and lead it to a disarmed state. But Kaga-gak-! The situation was not as easily resolved as expected. The opponents long spear suddenly moved like a snake and suddenly climbed onto my spear as if it were wrapped around it. Even the power he wielded with full force was subdued softly before he knew it, and the flow of power itself was suppressed. It was truly an overwhelming skill. I cant believe there are people who handle weapons this well besides those from the Moorim dimension. But the admiration was short-lived. It was because Lujians spear touched his body with a height like a live fish that came up against the river. Even though he could aim for the heart, he seemed to have noticed that he was aiming for the torso. That would be the case too. what? This body, which has received a 45% reduction in all damage, should not be injured with moderate force. Oh, of course, the wounds on the body still healed. Even if its not to the extent that the hole is pierced through the torso, if you leave it like this enough, it will continue to bleed and umte damage. But I had a solution for this. The power skill Ashen Blood is activated. Regenerative power increases ording to the consumed holy power. Body regenerative power increases by 400% and bes immune to all non-regenerative abilities. Chii-i! In the blink of an eye, steam rose from the wound and the damage disappeared. Could it be that hes not a human, but a vampire! To put it bluntly, hes a human close to a vampire . But this time, the result was a straight hit by Lujian, and I recovered my wounds as before. The ability to handle spears is definitely amazing. I could tell for sure now. The fact that this spearman is not an opponent that can be defeated with the advantage of a ridiculous physical ability. If at least all of my stats dont differ by 200, I wont be able to press them with my stats. Ignorant tricks dont work. It would be next to impossible to defeat him with skills not rted to spearmanship. I didnt think that the situation would improve even if I dragged out time. If you have such a high level of skill, as time goes on, you will press me faster and faster. I cant help it. If I have to press down with my skills I have no choice but to do so. As a result, I began to observe what the other person was doing by using various numbers differently than before. Holding the spear, stabbing the spear, swinging the spear, rotating the spear, etc Kiel Lujian captured every single step of handling the spear. Of course, this wasnt directly taught by him, it was just seeing his spearmanship with his own eyes. Just watching them wield spears and thinking about them several times to understand the reason. Other than that, nothing special. But Achievement Basic spearmanship has been achieved. The skill Imperial basic spearmanship (D-) is created. Achievement Those who understand advanced spearmanship has been achieved . Skill Spike Growth eleration (C+) is created Aplished achievement Spear Aura (A+) Skill Spear Aura (A+) Life That was enough. The achievement Devils Talent has been achieved. ] All stats increase by 1. To learn the spearmanship that Lujian possesses. Chapter 237 237. Common area on the 21st floor (5) The basic skills of spearmanship could bergely ssified into three. Turning outward to push back Turning inward to press It stabbing the opponent. These were the basic skills of spearmanship. Of course, these are skills that can be said to be the most basic of the basics. You have to invest at least 10 years to be able to say that you have mastered all the basics. Those who dont, will show a difference in proficiency in spearmanship no matter what they do. Just like Han Seong-yoon, who clumsily imitates spearmanship right in front of Lujians eyes. I didnt expect to immediately recognize the basic skills of spearmanship and follow them. Kirlujian honestly admitted that the young man in front of him was quite good. It hasnt been that long since we fought, but I thought he would immediately realize the essentials of his spearmanship and use the basics It was fun. Monstrous durability, regeneration beyond initial speed, understanding of technology, and so on. It was an enemy that I thought I would never be able to defeat if I used other weapons instead of spears. Its a monster. Judging by the calluses on his hands, the young man in front of him must have originally been a swordsman. so i knew After about 10 years, this monstrous young man will reach a stage where he is no different from himself. Intuition close to half certainty. However, Kirlujian did not think that he would lose very much in this battle. I dont know aboutter, but my spearmanship skills arent that great right now. He would be like that too Even if this is a basic skill, do you think I can master it so easily? Even if youre a genius, its impossible for your skills to suddenly rise to an absurd level. It was even more so when it was a weapon with low proficiency. There was nothing to worry about because it was only at the level of worrying about the same future 10 yearster. Kirl Lujian nced at Han Seong-yoon, who had a serious expression, and smiled. Still, its a face I wont see for a long time, so lets do it in moderation. Anyway, < Proof Field > is a ce where we have to face each other for a long time. He thought it would be all right to let this belligerent neer know that he was a frog in the well. Just like he did when he first came here. By the way Is it roughly like this? As if Han Seong-yoon suddenly realized something, something happened. In the blink of an eye, all of Han Seong-yoons behavior changed. Its also very dramatic. And seeing that change, Kiel Lujian couldnt help but widen her eyes. It was worth it. What is this Shin Chang Hap Il. A state where you can handle a spear like a body. And at the level where it is possible to use the spear aura in earnest Han Seong-yoon, who had been honing the basics up until now, stepped in right away. That wasnt all. You I could feel this monstrous young man in front of me holding a spear. The way he held the spear, the position of his feet, the angle at which he aimed the spear, etc In many situations, he noticed what Han Seong-yoon was trying to do. Its not different-. Youre copying my spearmanship? He was trying to steal the spearman Lujian had. Its not just mindlessly following along. All the elements rted to his spearmanship were reproduced to a level that matched even the breathing method. It even went to the realm of the Shinchang-hap day. And soon after reading Han Seong-yoons eyes, Lu Jian grinded his teeth. Would you be arrogant and steal your own spearmanship in actualbat? It was uneptable. under! Yes, try it! Now, I will deal with you with all my heart! Having shouted that, Lujian quickly shot the spear. Previously, the spear didnt contain even simple magic power but now his spear is imbued with aura of aura. The aura showed a red color stained with dark flesh, but Han Seong-yoon silently reached down as if facing a spear. Kaga River-! The spears intertwined and collided like snakes trying to devour each other. Unlike before, the spear Han Seong-yoon stretched out was not meaninglessly overpowered by Lujians spear . But tutter-! Once, twice, three times As the spears collided with each other and the wounds on the body increased, Han Seong-yoons spears changed repeatedly. He learns the height as if he were absorbing all the herbivores Lujian shows in his impatience, and imitates them exactly as they are, recreating them without any doubt. And finally Paaang! A gust of wind from Han Seong-yoons spear pierced Lujians cheek. Of course, the wound was only to the extent of slightly tearing the skin. However, the spear that had not been able to reach the taller Rujian had reached the verge. Lujian knew the meaning all too well. Thats why. Jureuk-. As a single line of blood flowed down his skin, Lujians eyes were filled with astonishment. This nonsense Kirl Lujian felt his heart beat wildly. So far, I havent been able to handle the basics of spearmanship properly Before I knew it, Han Seong-yoon had umted a high level of proficiencyparable to him. Pushing outward, turning inwards, then stabbing faster than anyone else. By quickly connecting all of those movements, Han Seong-yoon hurt Lujian with his height. What that meant was this. Could it be that I lost to the basics of spearmanship? For beginners who have just started working with spears? Han Seong-yoon mastered the basics of spearmanship, which would have been insufficient even after 10 years of training. Thats to the point where he could overwhelm Kieru Lujian even for a moment. Recognizing this fact, Kiel Lujian felt goose bumps all over her body. It was is this really the same person as a few minutes ago? It was the first time I felt nervous after entering < The Proof >. To understand all my skills with just one thing Ive seen This is no longer an area that can be dismissed as genius. talent beyond measure. He was offended by the splendor that seemed to trample on the life he had given his all to the spear. It was because he felt like he was taking away everything he had umted so far. On the subject of just starting to deal with spears! The one who hadnt paid any attention to anything other than the sword until now. And that, to say that someone who has just entered < The Field of Proof > isparable to himself who has been training for nearly 100 years? Couldnt admit it. The moment when a burning inferiorityplex filled the whole body as if the intestines were boiling. Kirlujian felt unbearable anger and condensed energy at the tip of the spear de. Ill cripple one ce! Originally, I wanted to see it to some extent, but now nothing caught my eye. I just want to deny this reality that doesnt seem like reality right now. At that, Kirel Lujian put on the extreme of touching the tip of his spearmanship. And at the same time, strong energy formed like a small bead at the tip of the spear. Whoa-! However, this was different from the usual strong wind. A secret skill that Kirl Lujian developed over many years. It was a strong fantasy that could destroy everything with just one thrust. and. Whoops! In the blink of an eye that was like a sh battle, the front was colored with starlight. Aaaaaaaaagh! But that was only for a moment. . That would be the case too What A dark red strong air from the other side began to swallow his blow. *** Learning Kirl Lujians spearmanship wasnt too difficult. This is because spears, in a nutshell, are finished when you parry all attacks and stab the opponents vitals. Using the rotation of the spear to deflect all attacks and stab the spear whenever there is a gap. That could be said to be all of Kirluzians spearmanship. Not that great. The basics themselves were very easy to master. It reminds me of the actual spearmanship I learned when I was an aspiring hunter. Oh, of course, that didnt mean that the spear of Lujian didnt have depth. He was a skill that would not yield to any warrior. In fact, I learned a lot about spears, even though it was a basic skill. But nothing more. I dont have a trick that only spearmanship has, so I dont feel the merit of using a spear. Why use a spear while mastering swordsmanship? I didnt feel any reason to do so. Even the technique of intention wasnt that different from swordsmanship. If its good enough, its a technique that condenses thest strong energy It wasnt too difficult to follow. That would be too. The authority skill, Geomgi Seonggang  is strongly activated. I can now apply strength to my spear as well. Kwagwagwagwagwa-! Kang Ki, who had a dark red thunderbolt, swallowed up the starlight that Lujian shot out of his height. Its also very neat. And then, at the end of the collision between the strong and the strong, each others energy was extinguished. Soon, in the open field of view, I saw Lujian, who was on her knees in frustration, with only her mouth open. Lies how could something like this be possible It must all be a lie he muttered like a deranged patient. Kirlujian was in a half-broken state, and he didnt seem to have to worry about it anymore. Perhaps it was judged to be incapable of fighting, a system message announcing victory soon appeared in front of my eyes. Tick. Task Sess Condition: Win against practitioners who meet each condition with very low proficiency weapons (1/10) Is it because he aplished the feat in just a few minutes? After a while, a new achievement was achieved, and as a reward, the whole body was energized. The achievement Spear Master has been achieved. All stats increase by 4. Its a decent reward. Of course, despite the hard work, I think its surprisingly a bit of a blow All ability +4 increases are not that small of growth, so I decided to be satisfied. In addition, during the battle, he also gained various skills rted to spearmanship. As I smiled softly at him, the spear in my hand disappeared and a bow appeared in the air. Some of the tasks in the Sacred Zone < Proof Field [Step 1] > have beenpleted. You will be given the [Arrow] as the weapon with the lowest proficiency. Win against the strongest archer in the Sacred Area. . If you use powers not rted to single archery, it is not considered a sess . It was a little difficult because I had never handled a bow properly before. Perhaps it was thought that the bow could have the lowest level of proficiency than the spear . If I keep looking at the opponent with the bow, Ill be able to learn the skill somehow. After thinking like that, it was the moment I was about to leave. Wait a minute! Please wait, no wait! Rujian gasped for breath and ran to Key, who had been frustrated and absent-minded until now. I wondered if he was saying that we should fight again, but What Lujian said after the key was to have a revenge match was a more normal sound. It was worth it. Teach me the spear! No matter where you look at his attitude, it wasnt something someone who had just lost a duel would say. Boo please teach me the spear! I apologize for my earlier rudeness, so please teach me a little bit! I must be strong! However, it was immediately clear that Kirluzian was sincere. His eyes were already full of longing. Perhaps he really wants to learn about spears from me. You can be sure without having to check it with a skill or something. I dont like it. But I turned down the request like a knife. Isnt that just bothering me? There was no time to waste time teaching others. At first, I didnt think I was going to teach others well. It urred to me that it would be better to politely decline the request andplete the task than to waste my time needlessly. Then let me at least watch over you while you are here! Is this a finalpromise? Kirlujian said that in a very solemn manner, but he didnt have to ept this request. I dont really want to allow that either. But The authority Reaping Faith detects intense faith in the user. The authority Harvest Faith is strongly activated. Reaps faith in you. Suddenly, the authority of Reaping Faith The moment it is activated and faith flows into the body. Followed by those with high willpower. The efficiency of harvesting faith increases greatly. Faith became unbelievably thick inside the body. But if its to my advantage, Ill allow you to see it. In response, I finished the calctions in a moment and then changed my words. Am I really? yes. Tell me what you want! Then I will give you everything I have! No, I dont want anything too big I looked at Kiel Lujian with a clear smile. For now, can you show me all the items you have? Originally, private education costs a lot of money. Chapter 238 238. God of Proof (1) < Chapter of Proof >. In the holy ground for this training, items were not very valuable. It was worth it. In this ce, you cant use items until you seed in each task. Actually, items like items are useless if you cantplete the task. Oh, of course, the story will be different if you can seed in the task and get out of the < Proof Field > Is it because youve been here for a long time? Kirlujian didnt show any hesitation in giving away all the items. Not really at all. Chow-! This is all the items I have. He poured out all the items from a leather bag that looked like a subspace pouch. The number is about 10 or so. It can be said that there are not too many of them. However, the items that Kirl Lujian had were worth more for their quality rather than their quantity. Certificate of a spear seeker (A+) Distorted pilgrims ne (B+) Scarf of one who endures penance (A-) Moonlight-filled arm guard (A) . . Looking at the ranks assigned to the items for a moment, I was amazed in my heart. its not enough that all of the items are rated above B+, so the exclusive effects are amazing. Of course, most of the items are not appealing because they only have effects rted to martial growth . only. Ivee too far to rely on this to hone my skills. If pure skill was low, I would have considered using it for technological growth He licked his lips because he had no sense of regret. I think its a bit useless to use it directly now. Inevitably, all items rted to skill growth had to be reced. However, items that were not involved in technology growth were immediately stocked up in the inventory. Maybe Ill be able to use these someday. Having concluded that, I immediately chewed and swallowed the remaining items. The skill Steel Feed is activated. Originally, I was worried about switching to divine power for a while. I changed my mind because I couldnt widen the overwhelming difference in ability through the fight with Lujian. The onlypetent people in this < field of proof > are those who have devoted themselves to training for at least a long period of time. Therefore, it was decided not to think that their physical abilities would be low. Technology is also a skill, but if your physical ability goes up, youll be able to win more easily. It would be better to raise the stats than to develop divine powers that cannot be used right away. Completely absorbed. Muscle strength increased by 1. Stamina increased by 1. Durability increased by 1. Magic power increased by 1. Looking at the actual increased stats, I realized that the decision was correct. I was sure. Because the vitality of the whole body was very great. Even this is not the only benefit. Completely absorbed. The constitution is improved by absorbing steel. It discharges 1.7% of the turbid air umted in the body. It is easier to deal with energy by discharging some of the turbid air umted in the body. . Its not a meaningful growth that stands out, but Its a mountain by collecting dust. Still, these small growths pile up and add value. The mastery of the skill Steel Eat (B+) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Steel Eat (B+) has risen by one level. Perhaps thanks to consuming numerous items, the grade of Steel Eater has also improved. Raised to A-grade. Since the skill level has also risen, will the absorption efficiency increase? Really It was rewarding to have been eating the items like crazy until now. At that, I smiled broadly and immediately checked the items in my inventory that hadnt been changed to stats. Moonlight-infused wrist guard Grade: A Mysterious wrist guard made by an unknown vampire who loved moonlight . In proportion to the amount of magic power consumed, a shield made of moonlight from the item covers the whole body. Its not very good performance even though its a high-grade item. In fact, this was an item that was backwardpatible with the Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat (A-) that I am currently wearing. If its all about creating a shield, the Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat (A-) would be better, as it can create any number of shields by consuming blood. However, the true value of this item was not something like a protective shield. Its important that moonlight can be created artificially. Its nothing else Its because of the physical advantage obtained from the giant treebyrinth < Moonlight Favor >. Somehow, I got one of the vampires racial traits with the skill Depersonalization (A+) I was worried that there werent many opportunities to use that racial trait. If you can freely use Moonlight Favor, its worth it. Physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > was able to receive a guaranteed +4 increase in all stats and a 10% increase in all stats. Its like bringing the fraudulent traits of the vampire race This wasnt enough, and the physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > even had an option to increase the growth rate of all types by 10%. If you can meet the condition of using moonlight, it will bring you tremendous benefits. Im looking forward to the time when I can use the itemter. In fact, in addition to this, there were numerous other achievements that Key gained from the fight against Lujian. He gained many skills in a fight thatsted only a few minutes. These were all skills rted to spearmanship, so I had no intention of touching them. If there everes a situation where I have to use a spear, I think Ill be able to use it somehow. Is this the end of the reward? Having obtained all the rewards, I quickly turned my attention to Lujian. I think you can watch the battle at this level. Kirlujian offered high-grade items and asked me to see the battle. Are you really going to be okay? So there was nothing I couldnt hear. In the first ce, it doesnt matter whether you see the battle or not. To be honest, if I swallowed so many items, I would have to teach them something. I just stay still because Lujian didnt ask for the key that far. Yes Im not asking you to teach me anything, just watching. Oh oh! But before that, I have a question for you. ? What is the purpose of watching my battle? I was genuinely curious. Why is Kirl Lujian trying to watch my battle? And soon, Kirl Lujian came up with an answer to that question. Ill say its because I want to be strong. In a word, he wants to use my battle as a reference. yes. I have to be strong. Thats why I came here. Is that so. After hearing the answer like that, I didnt want to ask more deeply. It was worth it. Because the ultimate goal that Kirl Lujian wants is no different from mine. If you look at it closely, I entered < The Field of Proof > because I wanted to be stronger. So, there was no question. Perhaps there is something like personal circumstances. The reasons for trying to be stronger were varied, so there was no need to listen. But one thing was certain. Exactly The authority Harvest Faith detects strong faith in the user. The authority Harvest Faith is strongly activated . It is said that he had the same feelings as faith in me. I am being followed by those with high willpower. The efficiency of harvesting faith increases greatly. And that is a very strong faith. I moved on and continued my thoughts. Emotions derived from the desire to be stronger lead to deep faith. If this happens, wont other ascetics be able to give me faith as well? That means that other practitioners can also gain such a high level of faith. Most of those who entered the < Proof Field > must be those who crave power. Stealing their technology might make Ki feel like Lujian. That too with a very high probability. I walked away with a deep smile on him. Guess-. Its fun. Perhaps, it was possible toy the groundwork for creating a new myth here. *** Time has passed. It wasnt that difficult to find the skilled people in < The Field of Proof > and fight them. Because I had figured out in advance the ce where the ascetics were staying with Gigam. In response, I slowly stole and mastered the skills of the practitioners and umted victories. Oh, how can you do this archery! tell me! What is that archery? Is it because of taking down enemies with pure skill? Every time I defeated the monks, they clung to me and said they wanted to learn the technique. Oh, of course, because its annoying, I didnt teach it directly, but instead, it was okay to watch the battle. But Ill give you any number of items, so please let me see the battle! under the premise that reasonablepensation is given. The skill Steel Feed is activated. Then, after the battle, he changed all the items he obtained, and his stats went up somehow. Completely absorbed. Muscle strength increases by 6. Stamina increases by 5. Agility increases by 4. Durability increases by 5. Magic power increases by 3. I realized that the grade of steel eating went up again. As the skill level goes up, it seems that the stats gained from eating steel have also increased. At this point, your stats have risen to the point of beingparable to the clear reward of < The Field of Proof [Step 1] >. There was no way I couldnt be satisfied. After that, as he repeatedly won victories from the practitioners, the conditions for sess in the task rose rapidly before he knew it. And dump-! I will admit defeat. So please let me know. What the hell was that sword you showed me? The moment when an elderly man using a sword admitted defeat. Task Sess Conditions: Win against the trainees who meet the conditions with very low proficiency weapons (10/10) It was acknowledged that you won against thest trainee, and the task was cleared. You have cleared the < Proof Field [Step 1] > task in the Sacred Zone. You will be able to enter the < Proof Field [Step 2] > as a task sess reward. As a task sess reward, all stats will be increased. It has increased by +10. As a reward forpleting the task, a Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) will be sent to your inventory. In terms of time, it took about two days? Aside from the time consuming learning of some of the practitioners skills, I didnt actually invest too much time. But since Ive grown to this extent I thought it was a good thing toe to the Temple of Proof as I contemted the power that filled my body. Im d the task wasnt as difficult as I thought. If he hadnte to the Temple of Proof, he wouldnt have grown this much. This is especially true when you consider the upgrade of the reward increase authority that you will getter. As I was satisfied with that, a portal suddenly appeared in front of me. Whoa-! You mean we can go to the next level now? Now that step 1 is over, it must mean moving on to the next step. The moment he tries to step out to enter the portal. Suddenly, a system message popped into my field of vision. The authority Harvest Faith detects intense faith in the user. The authority Harvest Faith is strongly activated. It reaps the faith in you. Its nothing else ). The monks gathered around me were muttering that with their eyes twinkling. Did he like the sword he showed at the end against the elderly man holding the sword? They all immediately bowed down as if they had touched something sacred. Faith welled up from the ascetics lying face down in the meadow and flowed into me. Even that is on a different level than before. They are followed by those with high willpower. The efficiency of harvesting faith increases very greatly. Then, the faith that rose up reached a certain point. There is not enough story to be the base. The harvested faith is stored for the next myth. When you get a story suitable for your faith, a new myth is created. Your faith has risen to the point where you can create a new myth. I never thought Id really get this much faith. At that, I smiled lightly and looked around at the ascetics prostrated in the meadow. Its good to have faith that is thick enough to create a myth . So there wasnt much I could do. But even if I could have helped, it didnt seem necessary. That would be Thank you. you are innocent I will live without forgetting the light you showed me. Unlike before, they seem to have been greatly stimted by me. The look in his eyes has changed a lot. It was no longer the eyes as if they were implicitly giving up. I dont know what the hell you saw in me and changed so much. Still, after watching the battle, I found out something, so isnt it something like this? Without saying a word, I left and headed for the portal. Now everyone will take care of it. Judging by the look in his eyes, he seemed to have ovee his frustration, but then I didnt have to worry about it anymore. In the first ce, most of the faith was now absorbed, so there was nothing more to gain. As I walked, I heard someones excited voice behind me. Please look forward to it! God of War! The light you showed me will be known to others! I smiled at him and continued walking without stopping. Are you thinking of spreading your faith to others? Maybe Im thinking of telling others about me I dont know how helpful it will be to try to spread the faith in this small space. Im guessing its better than nothing. I wasnt expecting too much no matter what. But then, I had a sudden thought. Its nothing else But what if these people seed in their task? It reminded me of what if these practitioners cleared their tasks and went outside. Is something like a religion created? It cant be. These monks have not been able to escape from this ce for a long time, and there is a high probability that they will continue to do so. Oh no way. Of course, if something like a religion is created, a great amount of faith wille into it. It is also very pure. Presumably, then, with that faith, he might umte numerous myths andy the foundation for truly bing a god. But I have entered the Sacred Ground < The Field of Proof [Step 2] >. That would not be possible. maybe. Chapter 239 239. God of Proof (2) Whoa! You have entered the Sacred Zone < The Field of Proof [Step 2] >. After passing through the newly created portal, the scenery changed. Could this be the stage of < Proof Stage [Step 2] >? After rolling my eyes for a moment, I could see that it was a maze-like ce made of an unknown stone-like material. But the peculiar thing is that all the roads are blocked like one. What is this again? Its a maze-like ce, but I cant move to another ce It was heterogeneous. But there was no time to think deeply. As I was looking through this maze that didnt even look like a maze, I heard a voice in my head. DUgh. Its like a goddamn holy zone restriction. I feel like my head is about to break It was Damcheonwoo. It seems that his consciousness was cut off because he was switched to an item-unavable state until now In < Proof Stage [Stage 1] >, he forgot about it for a while because he only repeated battles without talking for a while. In response, I immediately spoke to Dam Chun-wu. Are the rituals okay? DIts just that. But I feel the worst. Everything in sight seems to be rocking. Im d it doesnt seem to be too much of a problem. DFortunately, its a bitch. If I had known this would happen, I would have entered the inventory a long time ago. I never thought I would cut off the ceremony right away without warning. It seemed that he was quite annoyed that his consciousness was briefly interrupted by the sacred ground. But he didnt get annoyed for too long. Just look around and figure out the situation. very quickly too. DI can roughly understand. It seems that the first stage of < Proof Chapter > has just finished. Have you just entered the second stage of < The Field of Proof >? Even if it rots, is it Junchi? As a challenger who had climbed to the top, he was not slow to grasp the situation. I nodded my head, thinking that it had saved me the need for a cumbersome exnation. youre right. DProbably a task like escaping a maze Strange. Did you notice? -joy. Even if you try to stay unaware, you cant. For some reason, all the passages leading to the exit are blocked. As the saying goes, this maze was quite unique. In terms of shape and size, this ce is undoubtedly the most suitable for a maze . As I quietly questioned him, a new message popped up in my field of vision. The Sacred Zone < Proof Field [Step 2] > task has urred. Task description: Survive 100 days without dying in the living maze with the will to kill. Task sess condition: survive Do not be killed until the maze in the maze reaches death after 100 days (0/1) Task Sess Reward: Clear Stage 2 Random Skill Book (B+) Random Stat Potion (B+) And. A living maze? The moment I read all the contents written in the system message. The task of the Sacred Zone < The Field of Proof [Step 2] > begins. Survive with all your might. An unexpected situation urred. *** Koo Goo Goong! Suddenly, the maze itself shook greatly, and at the same time, the walls of the maze rose like fangs. In response, I quickly kicked off the maze floor and quickly retreated. Soon, the walls of thebyrinth rose sharply and passed through the empty air. Even if it happened in the blink of an eye, it was normal to understand it right away. I never thought the maze itself was the enemy But there was no time to be surprised. Kwagaga!! A stabbing series of attacks that continued as if they were not going to give them time to rest. Even the maze itself, a ce where you can set foot, was an enemy, so it was difficult to control your body. Of course, his transcendent physical ability, which reached over 400 stats, allowed him to move between gaps in the attack but he didnt have to move soplicatedly. Wind Spirits Boots (A+) exclusive effect, Wind Road is activated. It is possible to maneuver in the air only with exclusive effects without using abilities such as steel wings or walking in the air. Of course, it would be appropriate to use other abilities for long-distance flight In the current situation, rather than flying or leaping, the ability to move the body smoothly is required. So it was right to use the wind spirits boots. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-! But it didnt take long to dodge into the air. It was worth it. Because the skin of thebyrinth, which had risen before I knew it, was wandering around like a de. It could even be called madness. Even that is not the only problem. Its not all about going wild without thinking. The space within the maze itself is getting smaller and smaller. This livingbyrinth was trying to crush me by intelligently shrinking space. Im guessing that if I keep going like this, Ill be crushed by the mazes skin in less than 10 minutes. In response, I quickly swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword but it didnt yield any meaningful results. Kagagak-! The durability is also considerable, so I cant break it easily, right? At most, it was only a slight scratch on Miros skin. Oh, of course, Miros movement shrank a little, as if he thought it was a blow. Looking at this, it doesnt seem like its a difficulty that cant be cleared at all. The real problem was none other than time. -her. To endure this for 100 days. I dont think there are many people who dont die. 100 days. Having to endure the battle with this living maze for 100 days. Whatever else might be, this was not so easily satisfied. Perhaps a huge number of people died because of this condition? DCompared to the previous tasks, the difficulty gap is serious. To that, I responded by avoiding the living mazes series of attacks that surged up from everywhere. Iknow, right. It depends a lot on your fighting ability. It is unnecessarily annoying. To be honest, this living maze itself wasnt too difficult to deal with. ability to maintainbat? I already had a body no different from that of a half vampire. Perhaps, as long as the divine and magical powers do not decrease, it will be able tost for up to a year. But-. Damchunwoo. You dont have to waste your time on useless things. From now on, just grit your teeth and bear with it, even if it hurts. DWhat? Anyway, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword has an indestructible option, right? Pain is enough if you endure it with guts. DNo What kind of bullshit is that! Can you bear the pain? Exin in detail! I warned Dam Tianyu in advance of the pain that woulde, and immediately channeled magic into a piece of equipment on my arm. Moonlight-infused wrist guard (A) exclusive effect, Moonlight protection is activated. A shield made of moonlight covers the whole body in proportion to the amount of magical energy consumed by the user. Wrist guard imbued with moonlight. One of the items I received as tuition (?) from Kirl Lujian after the battle. And at the same time, an item with the effect of artificially generating moonlight showed off its value. Whoa! At the moment when a moonlight-like protective shield is created that envelops the body, vitality rises once more. Conditions satisfied. Physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > is activated. Its nothing else With moonlight, all stats increase by 10%. With moonlight, all types of growth speed increase by 10%. I do. The < Moonlight Favor >, a physical advantage that I had not been able to properly use until now, was activated. The effect of increasing all stats by 10% is also true. The +10% growth rate for all types is presumably added to the increase in skill proficiency. So, it was right to use this < Moonlight Favor > unconditionally in the future situation. But even that was not enough, so I soon activated the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >. In fact, at this point, it can be said that all growth merits have been applied Are you ready with this? Now its your turn to act the way you think. The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. The moment I created a starlight containing dark red light in my palm without hesitation. The skill Unextinguished mortal me is strongly activated. Fire-! The dark red starlight was apanied by an ominous me, and they began to rebel against each other. I smiled deeply at him and grabbed the entirety of the mes created in my palm. ck starlight streamed out from between the fingers that were clenched into fists. Did you understand the situation then? DYou such a madman! I couldnt believe it, but to endure the pain! At the same time as the dark red sh shed, a sound like a scream came out from the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. There was no room for attention. It was worth it. Because before I knew it, light flowed from my clenched fists and there was an explosion. And Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The destructive divine starlight wrapped in ck mes engulfed everything. *** Absorbed the spirit of the living maze Ludrond. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory brought her 0.4% closer to ascension. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons physical endurance will be stronger than before. The messages of Shinhwa < The Possibility of Transcendence > came to my restored sight. Youve won I won against the living maze and became stronger as a reward. Of course, the body was messed up by the aftermath of the shock. Still, most of the items were intact, probably thanks to the intensive protection. Even the intestines, which had beenpletely shaken, were immediately restored by the gray blood. Then I turned my head and looked around. It is miserable. Thebination of the unquenchable mortal me and the holy light that evolved with the Power skill brought about tremendous results. The livingbyrinth disappeared without leaving a trace, standing in a heavily scorched desert. There must have been a creature called Maze here It seems that it was left in the desert because it exploded without leaving a trace. The skillbination is better than expected. It was more fun than I expected. Because all avable shields were used to protect items, there was no loss of equipment. Evenbining skills to discover newbos was quite beneficial. It was even more so when considering the increase in skill proficiency gained through this. Activating < Moonlight Favor > increased the skill proficiency rate. Do I have to say that it is worthwhile to see a match bybining skills? After a long time, I got a lot of benefits bybining my physical strength < Moonlight Favor > and skills. To the point where I felt proud of my choice not to fight with the sword. However, it was only for a while that he was soaked in such feelings. You have cleared the < Proof Field [Step 2] > task in the Sacred Zone. *You will be able to enter the < Proof Field [Step 3] > as a reward forpleting the task. A Random Skill Book (B+) will be sent. As a reward forpleting the task, a Random Stat Potion (B+) will be sent to your inventory. Messages that you have cleared the < Proof Stage [Step 2] >e to mind, and the rewards are full. paid Random skill books and random stat potions. Both were rewards that were by no means low level. No matter how you look at it, the rewards are saltypared to the difficulty level. It was the moment when I was about to browse the inventory with a light smile on him. DTurn it off This You look like a madman Now you must havee to your senses. DIf you are going to openly use the self-destruction technique At least protect me The tone is close to screaming. Is it difficult even with the indestructible option obtained from the 16th floor < Savior of the End > quest? After that, Damcheonwu said nothing more as if he lost consciousness but it didnt matter. Even if I use the self-destruct technique, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword wont be destroyed, so what does it have to do with it Even if I faint for a while like this, Ill wake up after a while, so I immediately turned my eyes to the reward. Oh,e to think of it, I didnt even use the skill proficiency increase potion I had previously obtained. In response, I immediately took out the Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) from my inventory and drank it. You took a skill proficiency increase potion (B+) Select a skill to increase your proficiency And then. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skill, Unextinguished Mortal me (S-)s proficiency will increase by 30%. Afterpleting the skill proficiency increase, I immediately opened the skill window. Skill C Unquenchable mortal me (S-) Proficiency C 92.711% Description C A causal me that brings about mortal causality. Effect C A mortal me that consumes 10% of body mana per second and never goes out Should I say that this is the result of making the best use of the skill proficiency increase potion as well as the eternal me of mortality? The mastery of the skill reached a high level of 92.711%. Perhaps, if you continue to fight more intensely and use your skills, your proficiency will reach 100% before long. Therefore, expectations were high. I wonder how strong hell be once his new level rises. I smiled lightly at that and took out another reward from my inventory. These were the new rewards obtained by clearing < Chapter of Proof [Step 2] >. The reason for taking these out of the inventory was simple. Its nothing else Random skill book (B+) is used to acquire a B- grade skill at random. This is because I intend to use up all the rewards right now. The authority skill Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Luck temporarily and intensely increases. And. The skill Equipment Durability Interlock (B-) is created. As if that thought was correct, I liked the newly created skill quite a bit. Skill C Interlocking Equipment Durability (B-) Proficiency Level C 0% Description C This is a skill that can link the durability of the user to the durability of the equipment. Basic Effect C All equipment thates in contact with the users body is Durability increases greatly in proportion to the durability value of. Detailed effect C All equipment thates into contact with the users body is automatically restored in proportion to the users durability value . The effect wasnt tooplicated. You can increase durability in proportion to the durability value of the body and use automatic restoration without covering all items thate into contact with the body. I could say that was all. I thought that there should be some level of item restoration function, but I got a good skill at the right time. I never thought I could get such a passive skill by matching it like this. When a useless skill appeared, I was going to immediately change it to skill synthesis, but it didnt seem necessary. Even this time, Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > got the exclusive effect Energy (E+). This is an unexpected increase in efficiency. Perhaps the warriors protection made adjustments so that something like this woulde out. Then I drank the rest of the reward, Random Stat Potion (B+). It was the first time I took a random stat potion, but there was nothing special about it. It was because after a short time passed, he felt the mana power in his body rapidly rise. Ingestionplete. One of the stats increases by the random stat potion (B+). By the random stat potion (B+), the magic power of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases by +10. situation without use. So now it was decided what to do. Thats right You have entered the Sacred Zone < The Field of Proof [Step 3] >. It is to take on a new task. After going through the portal, I found myself in a ce that looked like a medieval square. But there was no time to worry about it. In the blink of an eye, a system message popped up announcing that a new task had begun. And The Sacred Zone < Proof Field [Step 3] > task has urred. Task description: Secretly assassinate the emperor who worships the devil without any witnesses. Task sess condition: as much as possible Assassinate the emperor without witnesses (0/1) Task Sess Reward: Clear Level 3 All stats +10 Potion to increase designated stats (A+) The moment you read everything that popped up in the system message without omission. Assassination Then I smiled and was sure. That would be Interesting. Originally, assassination was my main specialty. The third task is to eat it raw? It was an assassination so clean that it left no witnesses. Chapter 240 240. God of Proof (3) Assassination. Killing people without anyone knowing was another specialty of mine. It was worth it. There have been many times Ive killed something without leaving a single witness. A task in the Sacred Zone < Proof Stage [Step 3] > has urred. Task description: Secretly assassinate the emperor who worships the devil without any witnesses. Task sess condition: Assassinate the emperor without witnesses as much as possible. Things to do (0/1) Task Sess Reward: Clear 3 stages All stats +10 Designated stat boost potion (A+) The special power Ghost Magic is activated. All energy has been switched to the presence blocking state. There is even a Ghost Magic skill obtained through a previous quest Imagine being discovered by someone for an assassination. did not go either No matter who it is, they wont notice my existence unless they openly use physical force. In fact, the task was as if it had already been sessful. It wont be that difficult to seed in the task itself. In response, I immediately began to move while slowly examining the surroundings while blocking the presence. As long as you know where the opponent is, you can always execute an assassination In a situation where you dont know where the emperor is, you had to collect information. And Im curious about the background assigned to this task. Is this world all fake like the trial of the tower? Suddenly, a thought shed through my mind. Even if it is an ancient deity, it would be close to impossible to reproduce a fake world like the tower. But this time, the task given by the god of proof was like an ordeal in the tower. If so, the answer is as if it were fixed. As I thought about it with my eyes closed, a voice rang in my ears. -Its not even worth worrying about. Because godhood is not the top. This is a really real world. Dam Chun-wu, who hade to his senses, read his thoughts and answered without even asking. Is that so. DIts not even worth thinking about in the first ce. Even if the holy ground is connected to the tower, do you think the tower will provide a fake world to the godhead? DEven though the Tower will help with some of the rewards you get from the Holy Land, it wont give you that much. I guess so. It was as if the answer had been decided from the beginning. Its impossible to sweep them all away with the Holy Light. If this was a real world, extensive assassination (?) using the holy light would not be possible. Because it is the principle of not harming the innocent. Well, the story would be different if someone like a monster or a demon was the target, but it doesnt seem like that It seemed like it would be better not to do anything that could get ordinary people involved. Bubbly. As they were walking around the imperial pce and spreading the spirit, they saw people walking the streets. For some reason, most of them looked haggard and had a lot of emotions close to frustration. Only then did I understand the background behind the task to some extent. The emperor who worships the devil, the people who are haggard to the point of heterogeneity, and even the sess condition of assassinating the emperor So thats how it happened. After thinking for a while, I figured out the situation and smiled. Presumably, the propensity of the Gods in the proofs Ive seen so far was close to good. Unlike the other deities I saw in the giant treebyrinth, he wasnt obsessed with power. Its just that Imrgely buried in achieving my own proof. so i knew Is this some kind of referee? It is to deal with the emperor who worships the devil and eradicate the seed of evil. It also borrowed the form of a task. I was intrigued. In terms of being able to understand the one who is none other than the god of proof. Perhaps if we read the intention behind this task, we can learn more about what kind of character the God of Proof is. And when you face the god of proof, you will be able to draw conclusions. To trust him or not to trust him. How far did you move while continuing to think? Before I knew it, I was able to see a pce of enormous size that did not even fit my eyes. Is this the imperial pce? A figure with countless protection magic intertwined. I could see it right away when I looked at the shape of the entangled magical power. Im guessing that as soon as I enter there, numerous interception systems will begin to intensively fire on me, and ordingly, the exclusion of intruders will begin. Only then did I realize why assassination was one of the conditions for the sess of the task. If the facilities are well equipped like this, the emperor will be able to escape anywhere. In a word, if someone notices it, it will be very difficult to proceed with the task It means to take the emperors life by surprise without being noticed by anyone. Its structured like an Assassin game I yed as a kid. But Still, Ill be able to speed up the assassination. There are tricks in the game. It is also an expedient of rotten water beyond stagnant water that even game designers are astonished at. The huge amount of experience umted while climbing the tower was telling me this. I have the power like a cheat key, but why do I have to proceed ording to the standard? Sounds like nothing wrong. So-. Heart sword. Following my intuition, I immediately swung the de of my heart by consuming the divine power in my heart. . There was no sound of anything being cut. It was just that the view of the imperial pce was slightly distorted. But I was able to figure it out. The fact that Shim Gum cut what he wanted. Actually . The slightly distorted view of the imperial pce began to gradually change every second. slowly but quickly. After a few seconds, the change became visible to the naked eye. It was because the imperial pce had been cut diagonally and was falling apart like a badly cut sandwich. Imperial pce protection magic interception system call notification setting, etc Numerous functions that tried to exclude intruders were broken beyond repair. Its also very neat. Woo woo woo woo-! Then, I nodded as I looked at the imperial pce, which was soon split in half and flowed down on thend. hmm. Jagoro Yes, this is an assassination. Assassination is what it should be. *** Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory brought her 0.003% closer to ascension. Acquire the exclusive effect Charisma (F-) as a special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >. Achievement Enemy of the Empire has been achieved. Skill Adversary of the Realm (B+) is created. Achievement Rule Breaker has been achieved] The skill Fairy Hair (D+) is created Aplishment The One Who Forgot Fear is created The skill Emotion Exclusion (C+) is created] Heart Sword Its a lot of rewards for hitting it once. Although not all skills are useless Still, some skills were valuable, and even if they werent, it was enough to change them to divine power, so it could be said that it was a great benefit. But there was no time to be content with that. People poured out of the copsed imperial pce. Ugh! Your Majesty Your Majesty! His Majesty was attacked by a beast of prey! Damn it! What was the imperial mage doing! Why didnt the protection magic activate! order! Where are the Knights!? Hurry up and find the beast and punish it! I swung my sword in the direction where I could feel the light demonic energy. It seems that the emperor died right away, probably because his intuition was correct. Other than that, the others seem to be still alive and well. At least there didnt seem to be too many casualties. Still, I should say its fortunate that Ive be good at controlling my strength. If he had exerted more power than this, other than the emperor would have died. If this is growth in its own way, you can call it growth. But something was strange. Originally, if you assassinated the emperor, it would be normal if the message that the task was cleared immediately pops up Why doesnt the task clear message appear? A situation where those who escaped from the imperial pce were scattered in confusion. However, there was a problem that the message that the task was cleared did not appear even at this time. I tried to think about why but I didnt have to think so deeply. That would be the case too The evil spirit looks at the challenger Han Seong-yoon and reveals its anger. It was not difficult to find out the cause. The evil god wants to make challenger Han Seong-yoon pay for the crime of destroying the toy. I didnt know that this would turn out like this, but now it seems that the emperor who worships the devil had something to do with the godhead. I fumbled with my memory, and soon I was able to recall the deity called the evil god. It was a deity worshiped by an ancient demon he faced in the giant treebyrinth. . I wondered if the third task in < Chapter of Proof > was so easy, but now I can understand why the task was so simple. Its nothing else The evil spirit is breathing new life into the ruined preliminary apostle. This is because the emperor of this country was one of the preliminary apostles chosen by the evil spirit. Namely-. Even if he died once, the emperor could be resurrected, so the task was not as easy as he thought. I wasughing at him because I was dumbfounded, so a message came up next. The evil god looks at the god of proof and points his finger at the god of proof ! The god of proof tells the evil god that there will be no major damage anyway. The God of Proofughs, saying that he will lose as much as he wants . He acted confidently as if nothing mattered. Even in a situation where he might be harmed by evil spirits. Im really out of my mind. At most, to deal with a feud with another deity for one task? I was able to realize that the God of Proof was crazy beyond imagination. But that was only for a moment. An evil god has breathed new life into a broken toy. The evil god has promoted a broken toy from a reserve apostle to a 4th-ss official apostle . Oh oh-! As soon as I noticed through the system message that the evil spirit was manipting, something strange happened. Suddenly, ck energy surged from the ruins created by the copse of the imperial pce. Its also a very familiar vibe. Razgin von Tarmion, a 4th-ss formal apostle, has awakened as a [Demon King] . The skill Manmaji Kingfħ֮ is activated. That should be the case too The situation is going interestingly. After all, I can say that I am one of the demon lords. Chapter 241 241. God of Proof (4) The 4th-ss formal apostle Razgin von Tarmion has awakened as the [Demon King]. The ruins of the imperial pce, which was split in half and copsed. It means that the demonic energy flowing from the inside is at a level that cannot bepared to that of a single devil. But I wasnt nervous at all. That should be the case too The skill King of Demons is activated. Absorbs all demonic energy and converts it into magic . Because it cant do me any harm. However, those who escaped from the copsed imperial pce were different. Theplexion of the people who escaped from the imperial pce turned pale due to the suddenly rising magi. very quickly too. Keep it off! What is this? Seo, could it be that the beast summoned the devil? How can such a vicious energy! Sword Master! Send a letter to Sword Master Sir Gerard using a magic tool! I have to call the sutra! Those with some skill tried to improve the situation by maintaining their spirits. That was only for a moment. Soon, the wreckage of the building fell and a person stood up from there. All eyes on the left were focused on it. And Is that the apostle of the evil spirit? I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the middle-aged man with his messy brown hair. Razgin von Tarmion. A devil worshiper chosen by an evil spirit has appeared. Even though he was directly hit by the sword and his fancy clothes and essories were ruined Looking at the crown on his head, it seemed clear that he was the emperor. actually. Your Majesty Your Majesty! You survived Some aristocrat-like person shouted that directly and ran to announce that it was the emperor. But the words didnt carry on to the end. It was nothing else The hand of Razgin, whose eyes were stained ck, snatched the head of a running servant. Knock-! Ouch! And at the same time, demonic energy flowed from Razgins body, and the mans body, presumed to be a subject, began to dry up. As if the life force itself had been absorbed. All those who watched it widened their eyes in silent astonishment, as if in disbelief. However, not all reactions were the same. I think some of you knew that the emperor was a devil worshiper? He seemed to know that most of the chubby nobles were devil worshipers. Im just embarrassed, as if I didnt know that I would kill a servant in one shot like that. At this point, I think I understand why the God of Proof sent me here. Of course, its not something that can be known in detail Am I saying cut off all the rotten roots? Perhaps the God of Proof felt that he was greatly mistaken when he saw the emperor of this empire. The character of the God of Proof isnt quite right, so it doesnt seem like hes trying to correct injustice. It is most likely due to his personal beliefs. Divinity usually has a grotesque belief befitting a deity. At least the god of proof is close to the good god. As I had thought before, I was able to understand the character of the God of Proof by carrying out the task as expected. Of course, this is only a small part of it, but this information will be of great help. It was enough to know that the odds of hostility were not very high. And it was the moment when the information obtained was imprinted in my mind. Looks like Im going to live now. Could it be that he had consumed all the vitality he needed before he knew it? Razgin threw away the corpse, which was no different from a mummy, somewhere. Unlike before, his eyes were definitely not blurry. He said with a growl, a sh of life in his dark eyes. joy. Its like theyre worthless. Cant even stop a single pectoral fluid that suddenly appeared? Some nobles hurriedly opened their mouths at the words that continued as if they were treating objects that had no use. Your Majesty! I did my best! Help me! youre right! Didnt I agree to change the State Religion to Satanism! Please take a look! Ah, the benevolent grace of the one chosen by the evil spirits! Perhaps they were already loyal to the Emperor and condoned demon worship Razgin ruthlessly abandoned even those who did. without the slightest hesitation. thats all. Now Jim doesnt go out on his own. You guys just give up your life. and. The special power Life Harvest is activated, and the designated people lose their vitality due to demonia. Gooooooooo! As soon as Razgin finished speaking, the activated power took away the life force from everyone. Countless people had no time to scream and their life energy was exploited. Until it bes skinny like a mummy. The life force thus harvested became like a storm and rushed to Razgin. Is it really the [Demon King] chosen by the evil god? Certainly strong, but strong. Until now, even the strong people who had been holding on to their spirits fainted at once. It was worth it. It wasnt enough that Razgin was officially selected as an apostle, so he became the [Demon King]. Probably everyone in this room will lose their lives sooner orter. But I didnt do anything. It seems like most of them helped with the devil worship anyway, so theres no need to have witnesses in the first ce. Of course, Im also affected by Razgins special authority The skill Manmaji King is strongly activated. Anyway, I can absorb demonic energy, so it didnt matter too much. How many minutes did you wait like that? Suddenly, darkness shimmered in Razgins dark eyes, and his gaze fell on me. And he let go of the thickest murder and smiled in anger. you. The one who was chosen by some god. Youve touched Jims jade body with a mongrel subject. In that distorted smile, I noticed a hint of joy in the middle of the anger. But I will forgive you your sins. Phuh. Thanks to you, who fell in love with the heros game I was able to be chosen by the evil god like this. Hard-. Razgin spoke so smirkingly that the earth trembled at the same time. It wasnt like a skill or authority. The ground began to shake only with the flow of demonic energy flowing from his body. He giggled as if he couldnt contain his ecstasy, then continued. iced coffee. Like poor Umin. Even now, if you humbly plead with me and obey me, I can at least make you a follower And. What will you do? To him, without hesitation, I gave a bored look and said. Is that the end of the will? dissappointed. Even though he had just be an official apostle, he had even awakened as the [Demon King] It was absurd to act as if he had gained everything with that much power. But maybe that wasnt what Razgin thought. hot! like a madman Do you have any pride left in this yard? Be foolish! He arbitrarily judged me to be just bragging about my ego. Its not like pride, its the truth. You dont have to be bluffing anymore. Can you see all the thoughts of that nasty Woomin? Hmm. It wasnt even worth making it into a household. thats ugly Just die like an ant. And with those words, Razgin shot a ck spear made of demonic energy. In the blink of an eye, the ck spear made of demonic power approached fiercely, aiming for the heart but it didnt feel that great. I swung my hand right away and struck the ck spear as if to drive away a fly hovering nearby. That was enough. Hung. To absorb all the demonic energy dwelling in the ck spear and convert it into magical power. But without stopping there, I used my skills more strongly. He strengthened Manmaji Kings skills with divine power and absorbed all the demonic energy that hovered around him. Its also very neat. What! What the hell is this!? At that moment, Razgins eyes widened and astonishment was heard. The evil god grants < Apostleization > to the 4th-ss formal apostle, Razgin von Tarmion! The evil god allowed him to use the apostle painting faster than Razgin reacted. I didnt think it was possible, but the sadohwa started to activate right away, regardless of Razgins will. I could feel all kinds of malice concentrating on his body, and the demonic energy umted in his body was evolving into another power. Its quick to judge the situation. Do you still have some talent? I think I realized that this situation was heterogeneous like a god. Then I didnt even have to waste time. The reason Ive been looking at the liver so far is because I was trying to find out, at least a little, the intentions of the god of proof. The God of Proof is a Godhead who doesnt have to be so hostile, so theres no need to save strength here. and. The divine power deification is activated. It bes possible to exercise divine power ording to thetent divinity. Its a word >. The next moment. Using divinity < transcendence > All abilities attributed to divinity are out of the set range. The more you hit the limit, all abilities go out of the set range faster. Divinity < death > Use it. From now on, all of Challenger Han Seong-yoons attacks will be imbued with the energy of death. Using the Divine Spirit < Words >. You can use your words to influence the real world by consuming your Divine power. Numerous divinities The authority was activated and my mouth opened faster than Razgins apostleization. Razgin von Tarmion. The moment when the power of the divine < Death > dwells in the divine < Eonryeong > and the power multiplied several times. die. Kwajijijik! In the blink of an eye, Razgin von Tarmions body split diagonally. *** Originally, I was nning to save Apotheosis in case I was hostile to the God of Proof. Theres nothing wrong with having a trump card at any time. However, while carrying out this third task, he also recognized his disposition, and the existence of an evil god intervened and changed his mind. It was not necessary to meet a hostile deity, so there was no need to save strength. In the first ce, sadoization is not a scale that can be handled lightly. And I could immediately confirm that I was not mistaken. Ah ah ah ah . Apostleization has already been canceled for a long time. Now, he is in a state where the best thing to do is to keep his lifeline alive with the demons left in his body. No message appeared as to how the evil spirit viewed the situation, but I could tell that it wasnt looking at the situation so cheerfully. Its fortunate that I didnt spare apotheosis. If apotheosis had been used btedly, there was a possibility that the situation would have been a littleplicated. Its like preventing such a situation in advance It was a positive result in its own way. How can someone like you have the power of a god I replied simply with a smile on my face. [Thats right, of course Im a god. ] And with those words, he waved his hand and activated the divine < death >, and his breath stopped immediately. Awesome!! Absorbed the spirit of 4th-ss regr apostle Razgin von Tarmion. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 1.4% closer to ascension by winning against the apostle. As a special reward for < Divinity Ascension >, the exclusive effect Magi Creation (C-) From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon can generate demons by consuming mana. Finally, the third stage task just before the final stage waspleted . < Divine Rise > is activated, and now it is possible to create and deal with demonic energy. You have cleared the < Proof Field [Step 3] > task in the Sacred Zone. You will be able to enter the < Proof Field [Step 4] > as a reward forpleting the task. As a reward forpleting the task, all stats will be It has increased by +10. As a reward forpleting the task, the specified stat boost potion (A+) will be sent to your inventory. The clear reward for the third task has also been paid. I immediately raised the corner of my mouth and felt satisfaction. However, it was also a moment to smile at the newly acquired rewards. That would be so The evil god is very angry with the challenger Seong-yoon Han! The god of evil is very angry with the challenger Seong-yoon Han ! The evil spirit was so angry that it covered the house. The evil god consumes enormous divine power and dispatches an < incarnation > to the dimension of Pendeliam. And. [ you. ] Damn-. [A challenger chosen by the God of Reckless Proof. ] The moment the space was torn apart and pupils like those of reptiles appeared through the cracks. [Only you will make that soul suffer forever. ] Without thinking, I instinctively took out one of the items in my pocket. It is also an item in the form of a ticket. Its nothing else Dimensional Exile Ticket Grade: A+ A relic created by the God of Exile to drive out those who dont like it. can be activated. It is possible to banish to another dimension, even if it is a deity, only once. However, it is impossible to specify a dimension that can be expelled, and banishment urs randomly. However, it is impossible to expel a challenger who is undergoing an ordeal by the tower to another dimension. Previously, it was a holy relic obtained by threatening one of the apostles during the 20th floor unified ordeal. Its a bit wasteful to use this like this, but Perhaps if I dont use this, the evil spirits will follow me to the end even if I go through the portal. I felt that way without knowing why. Its a signal that cant be ignored for me , whose intuition works as an absolute logic due to numerous abilities . Target designationplete. The < incarnation > of the evil god from the Pendeliam dimension will be banished to the Ragnant dimension. I was saving this holy relic to use in this situation in the first ce. Kugu Pce-! [ Kkeuheu!? Relics of the God of Exile? Such nonsense! ] After the Dimensional Exile ticket was turned into ashes and disappeared. Confusion dwelled in the huge pupils that could be seen through the cracks in the space. Its like you didnt know this was going to happen. To that, I smirked as I moved to the portal that appeared where the imperial pce had copsed. [So, you have to know what the opponent has and use divine power. ] But did that word go against the nt? [ You you you you ! never ever! Dont let go! ] Through the cracks in the cracked space, the evil god cried out like a child and said so. Its a toy at first, so I felt it when I opened the system message Surprisingly, I thought that this evil god was somehow naive (?). Otherwise, I wouldnt have taken it without even thinking about it. It means that I feel that my mental age is really low. Even [Aaaaaaa! Ill make you really, really suffer! Its real! Really aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ] Seeing her like a child in a group, I wanted to say something. Im going to be banished to another dimension anyway, so Ill have to say a memorable goodbye. Originally, I tend to refrain from speaking lightly like this but I really wanted to say this. So that I can remain in the mind of the evil god as much as possible. And The exclusive effect generate magic power is activated, and magic power is reced with magic power. After showing the magic power obtained by defeating Razgin von Tarmion. [Hey, yourpany is also good. ] After much consideration, the evil god gave the best response. [ This-! Damn it! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! kill! kill me! someday- ! ] A reaction that automatically makes youugh. I even wrote it in a very light tone that I didnt even bother to use I hope the evil god wont forget this memory and keep it until we see itter. [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Im so annoyed!] I have entered the Sacred Zone < The Field of Proof [Step 4] >. And that was for a very long time. Chapter 242 242. God of Proof (5) Somehow, I increased my enemies again. With this, the number of deities hostile to me has increased again. Of course, even if this couldnt be helped, there was no unpleasant feeling. It was worth it. The eyes of the evil god seen through the cracks in the cracked space. The size of the power that resided beyond that made it impossible to guarantee victory, even if I was in a state of deification. So it didnt feel good to increase the number of enemies like this. But Still, if I win against the evil godter, Ill be able to gain a lot. Even so, it wasnt too much of a stress. After all, just being one of the candidates for the tower is turning the deities into enemies anyway. You made an enemy who couldnt guarantee victory? If thats the case, its enough to spur growth and develop enough strength to win. So far, I have be so strong, and this will not change much in the future. Ill have to stay in the tower until I can deal with the godhead as much as possible. And in order to be stronger quickly, I had to win what I wanted in this < Proof Field >. Compensation Elevation Rights. Afterpleting the upgrade of this exclusive privilege, which is still only halfway through you will be able to obtain a growth rate that ispletely different from before. So You have entered the Sacred Ground < The Proof Field [Step 4] >. Now it was your turn to finish all the < Proof Field > tasks. [ . ] Since the apotheosis has not been solved, you should be able to clear the fourth task quickly. So, I figured it would be okay to grasp the surrounding environment and achieve the clear conditions right away. But it didnt take long before I realized that I was wrong. That would be too [What is this again. ] This is because the newly entered space is a ce where there really is nothing. A space-like background that makes it questionable how it stands. All I have here is pieces of ss floating as if wandering in a ck space I couldnt understand what kind of task this was. But there was no time to think too deeply. A task in the Sacred Zone < Proof Field [Step 4] > has urred. Task Description: Be recognized by the God of Proof that you are worthy of gaining power. Task sess condition: Proof Prove your qualifications to receive power from the god of (0/1) Task Sess Reward: Clear 4 stages Reward increase authority upgrade Mirror of Faith (SSS-) will be. And at the same time, a divine voice echoed in my ears. Its very clear too. [I saw it faster than I thought. ] A voice Ive definitely heard before. He turned his head without a seconds hesitation, and a familiar face appeared. Clear eyes that seem to reflect everything like a mirror. This was a being with a history of encountering once in the giant treebyrinth. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ] Nothing else [Wee to my temple as promised. ] was the god of proof. *** I felt it when I saw it in the giant treebyrinth before, but the god of proof had monstrous power. A divinity so deep and dense that it could be said to be directly under the ancient deity. To be honest, I wondered if it would be possible to achieve that level with thebined efforts of a few candidates chosen by the top. In response, I looked at the remaining duration of Apotheosis. At least until I finish the conversation, I think the apotheosis will continue without difficulty. Even if I had to fight against the God of Proof, I was confident that I would run away in the apotheosis state. Right now, I have half the power of a god. Of course, that chastity was so pale that it could not bepared to a godhead that had reached perfection. Still, I rxed a little because I didnt have to be helpless by the opponent. While doing so, the god of proof opened his mouth before he knew it. [I must say that it took a lot of work to get here. Because of the causality rate, I made them go through useless procedures. ] At the same time he said that, he made a small gesture in the air. [Ah, but I think I paid enough for you. Its because the tower gave me quite a few rewards. ] And at the same time, following that hand gesture, a chair suddenly appeared in an empty seat, and he sat down on that chair. Seeing that, I narrowed my eyes. It was worth it. Because I could feel the dignity of the god of proof in that small gesture. Is it possible to use divine power like that? Should I say that it is a level that perfectly handles the divinity recement obtained from the battle with the usurper? It was amazing. Beyond simply recing divine power with other types of power, he created matter. It is also in a very stable form. Is this a real divinity? It could be said that the level ispletely different. It was different from me, who had to use apotheosis to properly demonstrate his power. Its like you can do that at any time. In response, I quietly looked at the chair made by the god of proof and engraved his skills in my mind as if pondering. In the future, I might be able to use the same technique with even this as nourishment. Imprinting in my mind the technique the God of Proof showed me, I opened my mouth soon. [The process of making up for the causal rate was not too bothersome. It was fun in its own way, and the rewards were salty. ] [ Yes? Good luck then. Giving the tower a reward is a way that puts a lot of pressure on me too. ] [Oh, I guess. Its hard to see things like skill proficiency increase potions even in the Tower. ] I was sincere. How can you get something like a skill proficiency potion through these easy events? Even though it took a while, there was no way I wouldnt like it. Even all the stat increases and other additional ie were fine. [But I didnte here to get those things. ] But [I know. They were definitely great rewards but they are just rewards forpleting tasks. ] In the end, even those rewards are mere appetizerspared to whats toe. [The authority to increase the reward will be giventer, so you can ask what you want to know before that. ] And. [Thats a promise with you. ] Hearing those words, I immediately raised my will and activated my exclusive authority. Exclusive authority #A-9871[Block gaze] is activated. All deities and administrators gaze is blocked at once. Chijiji-. The eyes of the managers, who had been pouring weakly until now, were blocked all at once. Im sorry to the administrators, but I cant let them see this. Among the information obtained while climbing the tower, there are things that are difficult to tell even to the manager. Iron Blood Lord and White Crane Swordsman can be said to be good enough people but I still wanted to hear this by myself. [If so, lets start by asking the most curious questions. ] Thats what it should be. [What is the other side of me that I saw before in the 11th floor ordeal? ] My other future that I saw in the ordeal on the 11th floor at that time. I wanted to know more about what it was. Why did he have such a broken personality that he ughtered people and became hostile to those he considered to be his colleagues? [I knew you would ask that. Anyway, someday youll find out. So let me tell you the truth. ] And. [ It was a good choice not to allow administrators to see this ce. If you didnt, youd be in pretty trouble. ] next moment. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. 27th floor ordeal. There you will kill the admins. two of them too. ] More shocking truth than I thought was heard. *** For a moment, my mind turned white. In the ordeal on the 27th floor, the iron-blooded lord and the white crane sword Im going to kill them? I couldnt understand. [ . ] It made sense. I didnt hate them, I liked them. Its because they dont have a bad personality and they always sincerely wanted my growth more than anything else. Even if the opportunity to kill themes, I will not kill them. So, I couldnt understand the idea that I would kill those two in the ordeal on the 27th floor. But even if I couldnt understand it, I immediately understood why it was like that, apart from the understanding. [ 27th floor ordeal. The contents are the murder of the administrators who contracted it. There are no other clear conditions] If the clearing condition for the 27th floor ordeal given by the Tower of Ordeal was the murder of the manager, I could understand. [ Yes. ] In fact, the god of proof was not denied either. [The ordeal on the 27th floor was a struggle with the contracted managers. But the two did not resist you and in the end they met your death. ] [ . ] [ Thats just how it happened. Once you cross the line, it is impossible to go back. Heres how to exin it properly. ] [ . ] [ You did anything to be strong. But thats because the other person was hostile to you. I didnt openly kill innocent people. ] [ yes. ] [ Thats whats holding you back. stupidly. Killing the administrators who cared for him must have made him very unstable. ] I felt an unbearable shaking and immediately activated the Fire Dragons Eye. In the hope that maybe all of this is a lie. However, the result that appeared in the system message was disastrous. That would be the case too The skill Fire Dragons Eye sees through that there is no lie in the opponents words.] It was because even the skill of Fire Dragons Eye informed that the god of proof was not lying. [I cant believe it. But i dont lie There is no need for that. ] [ So youre saying Im really killing administrators who didnt even resist? ] [ Probably so. Oh, by the way, the source of the information is my divine power. I have the power to see the future by reading thew of cause and effect. ] [ . ] Hwaryongan announced that this was also true. In response, I opened and closed my lips several times. Because this is absolutely unbelievable information. But that was only for a moment. Even if you are shocked by the unpredictable truth, there is something you should ask at this time. [ I know this is the truth I hoped for. But before that, I want to ask you something. ] Nothing else [Why the hell did you prepare to tell me this from the 11th floor? ] Why did the god of proof want to tell me this information? That was from the first time he saw me on the 11th floor. Maybe there is another truth. No, I thought so inadvertently that it had to be. [Thats right, I didnt want everything to go the way the tower had prepared. ] However, the answer that followed was far from what I wanted. [Whats that] Hes probably like that too [The 27th floor ordeal must have been prepared by the tower topletely get rid of your brakes. Thats why I let you know. ] The God of Proof did not prepare to inform me of this information because there was another truth. [Because its not very beautiful when something like a tower hinders the proof of someone like you. ] It was the mindset that should be called the belief that he had as a godhead that moved him. [ hmm. It seems that this has touched the nting of the tower. I cant speak any longer. ] But I wonder if he wont give me a chance to calm down. [But keep this one in mind. 27th floor ordeal. It is now up to you to decide what to do in that ce. ] The god of proof immediately looked at me as if it couldnt be helped and beckoned. [Will new beliefs dwell in you, who are not interested in anything but bing stronger? ] Subsequently, a sense of floating arose that was caused by being expelled from space, which was often experienced throughout the body. [This must also be part of the proof. that would be fun I wont wait for your choice here.] And You have cleared the task in the Sacred Ground < Proof Field [Step 4] >. As a reward forpleting a task, Mirror of Faith (SSS-) will be sent to your inventory. As a reward forpleting a task, you will acquire exclusive privilege #D-0007 [Increased reward (1/2)]. As a result, exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increasedpensation (1/2)] evolves. As I watched the banquet of system messages filling my field of view, I thought. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] has been obtained. It bes possible to increase all types of reward levels. Unlike before, all types of reward levels can be increased by +1. Really If I had to kill the administrators on the 27th floor ordeal Enter themon area on the 21st floor. What choice would I make at that time? Chapter 243 243. Reward rise (1) Enter themon area on the 21st floor. In the blink of an eye, I was back at the ce I had stopped before entering < The Field of Proof >. A deste prayer room with no one there. I couldnt see where Karnil, the apostle who had let me into < The Field of Proof >, had gone I didnt want to pay too much attention to it. Immediately after disabling deification, I sat down on a chair in the prayer room and stared into space. It was worth it. Beyond the throbbing sensation in my head, the feeling of bubbling continues. Even the frosted ice water makes me want to chew on it. He dismissed it as a trivial idea, since his body could no longer feel cool with such a thing anyway. And instead of thinking about ice cold water, I turned my attention to the essential task. Not different Do I really have to kill the administrators in the 27th floor ordeal I thought about what I had heard from the God of Proof before. Of course, this is not a reasonable doubt. It was because I had already checked whether the words of the God of Proof were true or not with the Fire Dragons eyes. And the result was a neat truth that was not worth further weighing. shit. I knew the truth. That this is a meaningless doubt, and 9 out of 10 probabilities the God of Proof is right. Although the god of proof is not an ancient deity, he is a deity in a lower position If the future that his divine authority read through the causalw is true, then there is a high probability that it will be true. And its not like I dont understand why that happens. I frowned at him and recalled the words of the God of Proof I heard a few minutes ago. The trials on the 27th floor must have been prepared by the Tower topletely remove your brakes. The ultimate goal of the Tower of Trials is to make the challenger transcend omnipotence. In addition, in this tower, I am one of the precious candidates for the tower with an unusual growth rate. But the top would be worried at the same time. For some reason, it stopped growing, or it didnt want all deities to be destroyed. Maybe the trials on the 27th floor are the tower trying to elerate my growth. As a countermeasure, if the ordeal on the 27th floor was presented as a battle with the administrators, there was nothing I couldnt understand. A lot of things will change once you cross thest line youve been guarding. Not to mention the genocide Ive been reluctant to do so far, I can harm the innocent as much as I want. It will reach the end of the tower with the same eleration as if it were a cargo truck without brakes. but. Its not very nice to go ording to the towers will. If that happens, it is the picture that TOP draws, not the ending I want. Presumably, if I reach the end of the tower as it is, I will change like a degenerate. It was worth it. Even if you climb the top of the tower like that, you wont get what you want. Oh, of course, it will be used like a tool of the tower, and it will be able to achieve the obliteration of all the divinities that it earnestly desires. But thats it. You wont get anything you want. Perhaps that would be the worst possible oue under the current circumstances. In the end, if it breaks once, it will be used as a tool for the tower and then it will end in vain. After that, I leaned back in my chair for a moment and closed my eyes. I started thinking about where I went wrong. Then, suddenly, the words of the god of proof came to mind. -Will new convictions dwell in you, who have no interest in anything other than bing stronger? Is it a belief I seemed to understand why the god of proof mentioned the word belief. The fact that he murdered the administrators on the 27th floor and became mentally unstable must ultimately be attributed to hisck of conviction. It is said that it is no longer a clumsy motto to actively supply power while not touching those who are not involved as much as possible. If so, it was decided what to do. From now on, Im going to be more proactive in looking for enemies. So far, Ive only picked out and dealt with those who took a hostile stance against me. But from now on, a lot will change. It was because the thought of promoting growth by dragging out a clumsy fight was gone. The vignte in themon area on the 21st floor is one such example. At that time, it was like saying, Come backter, or not, but that shouldnt be the case. Even if the vigntes guarding themon areas donte, Ill put an end to my rtionship with them. That too, very thoroughly. And get all the rewards you can get. This is the path I will walk from now on, and it is the only path through which I can express my will as I wish in the Tower. I cant change the 27th floor ordeal anyway. Perhaps, if this was a device arranged by the Tower, he would have to face the ordeal on the 27th floor at least once anyway. Avoiding the ordeal on the 27th floor as a trick is nothing more than putting off destruction for a while. I needed the strength to fight back without backing down. Its also very powerful. Then the correct answer is to break through head-on. By the time I reached the 27th floor, I had thought that I would reach a point where I could discuss negotiations with the tower. Like the gods, they were in a position where they could exert their influence on the tower by paying the price of divine power. And by destroying the predetermined future, I will save the iron-blooded lord and the white crane swordsman. As they say, the simplest is the best answer Theres no such thing as a neat answer. Its a real exhaust god I smiled at him, and my eyes shone coldly. Its worth a try. From now on, it will grow really fast. *** After organizing my thoughts, a message from the manager appeared in my field of vision. The manager Iron-Blooded Lord asked what happened to the sudden loss of sight. The manager Baekhakgeomseon expresses great concern about the apprenticesplexion. Thats both. These days, I was surprised to see him quietly watching without sending a big message. I felt like they would keep quiet until they talked about their secret wish I was a bit surprised to see this message popping up all of a sudden. But when I thought about it, I got it. Well, I must have been surprised by the sudden use of eye blocking privileges. You wouldnt have thought of ckening your vision with the gaze blocking authority. However, looking at the emotions conveyed through the system message, it seems that they do not know that I am the cause of the gaze block. If so, its easier to make excuses than you think. Just like this. It seems that the God of Proof temporarily cut off the administrators observations. Is it because he answered very confidently without hesitation? The manager Iron-Blooded Lord advises you to speak up if you need help. The manager Baekhakgeomseon twinkles in her eyes to help with anything she can. These two seemed to believe that I wasnt really the cause of the gaze block. Im fine, theres nothing to worry about. To that, I said that after thoroughly capturing the emotions that were revealed on the outside. DYou lie like that without spitting. Dam Chun-wu, who saw that, said that as if he was slightly fed up, but Well, if you look at it closely, you could call it a white lie. If you tell the administrators what you heard from the God of Proof, you will make them both more difficult. There was no need to worry unnecessarily for those who were very kind to me. After calming down the administrators, I immediately exited the temple and then opened my inventory to check the rewards I had previously obtained. Specified Stat Up Potion Rating: A+ A special potion produced by the tower that can be used on all beings with abilities. When taking it, you can choose one of the stats to increase that stat by +10. Its one of the rewards I got from the < Proof Stage [Step 3] > Its intuitive. It had such a simple effect that I didnt even have to look very carefully. So there was no need to think about its use anymore. Before long, I poured the specified stat boost potion (A+) into my mouth. A system message popped up and options appeared. You have consumed the designated stat-boosting potion (A+). Choose a stat that will increase your level. I didnt think that I had to pick and grow any of the abilities I had. It was worth it. It was because the stats he had grown through necromancy had reached a point where he couldnt feel theck of them. So, I focused on the additional effects that can be obtained by raising this stat. Come to think of it, it would be okay to raise the durability level. It reminded me of the Equipment Durability Interlock (B-), a skill obtained after clearing < The Proof Stage [Step 2] >. Thanks to this skill, equipment now has more profound durability, and all items thate in contact with the body have an automatic repair ability. If you dont have the ability to choose, it would be right to raise the durability ability. Selectionplete. Challenger Seongyoon Hans durability increases by +10. Did I finish raising my stats with this? Then I took out another reward from my inventory. Right-. Mirror of Faith Rating: SSS- Completion of Holy Relic: 0% A special mirror created by the God of Proof in the hope that a certain challenger will grow in faith. When the conviction ispleted by deeply responding to the emotions of the challenger Han Seong-yoon, the mirror of conviction also besplete as a holy relic. It was the final reward obtained in the < Chapter of Proof [Step 4] >. I never thought they would hand over something like this. To be honest, I didnt do anything in < The Field of Proof [Step 4] >, but the reward was excessive. Even the ratings currently recorded in system messages are SSS-ss. In a word, it means that it is the second highest grade item among the relics I have seen so far It was a part that showed how kind the god of proof was to me. Perhaps he doesnt want to let the tower run the way he wants. He was genuinely looking forward to the path I was going to take and was annoyed at the tower ruining it. Thats why they gave such a high level ofpensation. Feeling grateful to him, I read all the exnations that popped up in the system messages. Then I was able to figure out what type of item the Mirror of Faith was. Growth type item no. To be more precise, should we call it a growth-typepleted item? It was a type of item that waspleted only when it grew under the condition set by the item itself. Its thepletion of belief. Its the first time Ive seen this, so I was a little excited. When the Mirror of Faith ispleted, how good will it be? Perhaps a fraudulent diversionary effect, such as a regression attached to a regressors wristwatch? The skill Fire Dragons Eye is activated. Even looking at the detailed abilities with the Fire Dragons Eye skill, it was not a simple growth typepletion item. The fate of challenger Han Seong-yoon is partially guided to an advantage ording to various conditions. The Mirror of Faith had the ability to guide my fate in part to my advantage. Is there such a thing as a hidden effect? Of course, I cant figure out what effect this had, but Still, I was satisfied with this additional ability. It was when he left the temple and walked through the forest to check all the rewards. Suddenly, in the open street beyond the bushes, a living voice was heard. Stop. And p-! In the blink of an eye, a knight in golden armor approached me with a sword. Are you the one who attacked the vigntes in themon area on the 21st floor? And that, too, with the earnest shedding of life. Are you referring to the vigntes in themon area on the 21st floor? I smiled at him. It was worth it. Even when he dealt with all of the knights in ck armor, he had some intuition. It was because he did not know that the enemy woulde for revenge so quickly. Answer the question. If you do not respond, a somewhat coercive investigation may begin. An unknown challenger. I replied with a low smile at the words of the knight in golden armor. Come to think of it, when I entered themon area on the 21st floor, even the vigntes said that. really Is it characteristic of knights to hold on to anyone like this from the beginning and act as if they are justice? It was fun. Right. Are you the worshiper of the abyss who attacked the vigntes? Then there would be no need for long words. It was worth it. e. You evil spirit whose soul is rotten. I will judge you in the name of justice. Even if its not, I just fixed the motto that was clumsy Is there an opportunity to put this new motto into practice? It was like watching a well-written script, so I couldnt help but be dumbfounded. But that was only for a moment. It seems that the justice you speak of is the word of the strong. At that, I smiled the deepest smile and held the Blood Heaven Demon Sword in my hand. I dont hate that definition either. Guess-. If thats the case, Ill be the only justice here today. Today, much of this 21st floormon area seemed to change. Chapter 244 244. Increase in reward (2) Justice. If the only reason the knights put forward as the correct way is that the strong take it alone The one who can be called the apostle of justice here will be me, not them. So I just spoke directly to the knight in golden armor without hesitation. ording to that nonsensical logic, the only justice here would be me. By the way- Justice? A challenger with no roots like you, a brat? Could it be that he didnt know that he would return exactly what he said? How dare you talk about justice when youre a bug you dont even know where it came from The knight in the golden armor shook his helmet-wearing head slightly as if shocked. As if he had heard a terrible insult. The moment when the red line-like eyes glowed like an afterimage beyond the helmet. He cursed at me in a voice that sounded like scratching an iron te. Dont even think about going back alive. You will die miserably here today. and. Top! As a knight, I challenge the enemy in front of me to a duel! As soon as the other person finished talking like that, a system message appeared in my field of vision. Conditions satisfied. The unique attribute Knight Duel is activated and a fair duel between each other begins. You cannot escape from the Duel Location until the end of the duel. It is set so that it cannot be used repeatedly. Duelists are not damaged by external factors until the end of the duel. Its nothing different Its a unique trait I havent seen in a while. The unique characteristic of the golden knight, who introduced himself as Ark Van Heustiger, was activated. And at the same time, something like a red border appeared in a range of about 100m. Maybe thats the anti-escape function that the system message said. It designated a certain area as a dueling ce so that it could not escape. But again, this is close to good news for me. Thats probably the case The unique trait itself isnt bad but the users thoughts arent that deep. Because I have no intention of running away from this ce anyway. So, so, so, so! The authority King of Winter is activated automatically when the conditions are met. All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. By recing holy power with cold, it freezes the entire area, so even the opponent Responded right away. Youre using a nasty trick like a worm. Wow! But its meaningless to me! The moment Ark Van Heustiger stomped his foot on the ground that was about to be covered with ice. The cold air of the ice area is greatly suppressed by the authority skill Snowke Spirit Control Art. As if being blocked by an invisible flow. Are you still a challenger who reached the 21st floor in his own way? As soon as the spreading frost was blocked, Ark Van Heustiger swung his sword right away without dy. Whoa! His sword was already covered with a yellowish sword me. I dont even know if its a skill or power, but it seems that the body has been greatly elerated by this and that effect It was definitely different from the knights Ive dealt with before. Even if the depth of swordsmanship was not deep, he had the basic skills. At that time, all those who imed to be vigntes were subdued, so they sent a powerful person. But Its fun. To put it bluntly, that was all the challenger Ark Van Heustiger had. Considering the Moorim people he had dealt with so far, this level was not too surprising. Why did he act so conceited when he couldnt even deal with swordsmanship or even mind swords? Iughed at the opponents baseless confidence and activated my skill. Skill Deceleration of designated target is strongly activated. Challenger Ark Van Heustigers all speed is reduced by 40% for 4 minutes. And. Kuh! What is this!? At the same time, he immediately cut the right arm of Ark Van Heustiger, who was extremely slow. Im sorry-! Immediately the sword in his right hand fell to the ground, his face contorted with pain. However, as the saying goes, even if it rots, its junchi. He immediately grabbed the falling sword with his left hand and swung it swiftly. Incredible swiftness. It was a level of agility that could not be thought of in the state of giving up one arm. But I didnt really care about that. This series of processesid the foundation to neutralize him. actually- The skill Abyssal Lineage is strongly activated. In the blink of an eye, the ck tentacles generated from his left hand stabbed Ark Van Heustiger. that too exactly. His right arm was cut off and his ability to evade was blunted due to his loss of bnce. Originally, even this much would cause mental delirium as well as numbness and retirement, but unlike those Ive seen so far, he was holding up quite well. Cheer up! I dont think you can hurt me with something like this Its probably because hes overflowing with stamina The solution was very simple. I immediately swung the ck tentacle firmly anchored to his torso. Soon, the ck tentacles swayed wildly, and the new type of Arc Van Heustiger rolled as if swept around. bang! Kwakwawang! Kwakwagwagwang! It shattered the ice made of divinity and mercilessly broke the vegetation, and eventually the opponents model touched the red border like a barrier. Aaaaaaaaaagh! *Until the end of the duel, you cannot escape from the duel location. The forced duel space created by his unique trait Knights duel was hurting him. It would do more damage if it crashed into an invisible wall that even received systematic help than if it crashed into the floor. In response, I swung the ck tentacle a few more times and mmed Ark Van Heustiger into the wall. How many times did you repeat the process? A moan that had never been heard before began to flow from Ak van Heustigers mouth. Kkekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeheo Originally, the arena that was set up to prevent me from escaping was actually only harmful to him. But that was only for a moment. As if pulling a fishing line, the ck tentacles were retracted, and Ark van Heustigers neck was immediately caught in his grasp. Kwaaaak-! Kek! Stop bothering me and unlock these nonsensical traits. I refuse! I wont negotiate with the evil one! You know you cant win anyway, right? Even if you put the same condition as not being able to use the same skill, you are at a more disadvantage. Hehehe. thats what you dont know In the end, justice always wins. I smiled at him and put my left hand on his neck. Justice wins in the end. Whoops! You really think so? As he quietly asked the question, Ack Van Heustigers eyes were filled with a little bit of fear. Considering that he had been iming justice up to now, it was a great improvement. Now that Im holding my breath, I think Im starting to have the will to talk Answer the question and Ill let you go. As a knight, do you think youll answer something for someone like you! . Still, I felt the need for a little deeper persuasion (?). I grabbed him by the neck and immediately mmed his face on the floor. very quickly too. Wow! The skill pain amplification is activated. Even the pain amplification skill was activated to raise the opponents pain. The numerous experiences umted while climbing the tower told me that this would increase the efficiency of the conversation. Especially when dealing with such a stubborn enemy. So The skill Torture Skill is activated. From now on, you can use a more natural torture method. It bes easier to instill fear, and all kinds of torture efficiency increases by 10%. Now it was time to instill manners in this headstrong knight. *** About an hour passed. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !! The barrier created by the unique characteristic Knights duel disappeared before I knew it. Im guessing its either the duration of the activation has passed or the system treated it as the end of the duel after seeing Ark Van Heustigers condition It does nt really matter. Even if he hadnt unlocked like this anyway, he would have had to unlock his unique trait eventually. Hee hee hee! Dont tell me! No matter what you ask, Ill answer it without hesitation, so stop doing that! As expected, he soon sumbed to the torture, and I immediately asked him questions. Is this what vigntes are all about? what what. Are you plundering challengers belonging to a minor dimension and suppressing challengers who dont agree with you? Answer me. Yes. But that is unavoidable. Originally, a big goales with a small sacrifice, so theres nothing you can do about it I didnt ask for that. And repeating the conversation a few times, I was able to find out this and that information. First of all, I know that vigntes are badly rotten. vignte corps. A group of challengers guardingmon areas. Those who belonged to it were all knights belonging to the Ares dimension. And ording to Ark van Heustigers exnation, they all had that same belief. I never thought he would have taken the position of thoroughly exploiting the weak. He stuck out his tongue at the heterogeneous definition that all the weak who did not conform to the strong could be killed. Originally, I would have passed by thinking that they were just crazy people but now it was different. Having figured out everything I wanted to know, I immediately forced Ark van Heustiger to tell him where the vignte was. And Yes, there it is. Thats where all the vigntes live. Its a ce only vigntes can enter. The moment I arrived at the realmon area with Ark Van Heustiger. I couldnt help but widen my eyes at the sight that came into my field of vision. It was worth it. It was because there was a ce to use the core function of the public area prepared by the tower. So I couldnt understand it any more. Only vigntes can get in there? Originally, thismon area on the 21st floor was also avable for use by other challengers. Themon area I saw before also allowed challengers to be active. However, the truth that soon flowed from Ark Van Heustigers mouth was different from what was expected. thats not good either. okay. These vigntes are those who defend the weak. As those who uphold justice, they deserve to enjoy the due rights ordingly. nonsense. Small-level challengers do not think deeply and protect the weak from the thought of persecuting them, so are they rewarded appropriately? I cant understand and I cant understand. Even then, I couldnt figure out where the challengers other than the vigntes were interacting. Feeling that my head was pounding, I opened my mouth and asked a question. Then where are the other challengers interacting? Thats right, its over there. A ce where you can interact. And . The moment I saw the ce Ark Van Heustigers eyes were pointing at. Then I had no choice but to close my eyes and keep my eyes closed. Unlike the public area prepared by the tower, shabby buildings were lined up. Only then could I understand the situation. Is it like that? They are not vigntes in the first ce. As knights belonging to the Ares dimension empire, they are only upyingmon areas by force. They simply wrapped themselves in words of justice and greatness to look noble. In reality, it was nothing more than a group of thugs who had taken over the vige. Im guessing that no one would fight them. After all, things likemon areas can be used elsewhere once you move on to the next floor. Therefore, the weak are thoroughly exploited, and the strong stand by because they do not want to suffer losses. They are well aware of that, so they are upying all the advantages of themon area. Iughed silently at that. I couldnt believe that so many parts had rotted. Thanks to this odd sight, I couldnt regret the new convictions in the end. And I could think Enemy is something that must be rooted out. And Its fun. next moment. Boss skill Blood Deep Gong is strongly activated. Skill Seeker of Fresh Blood is strongly activated. Skill Unextinguished Mortal me is strongly activated. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A bloody storm hurled into themon areas with ck mes. Chapter 245 245. Reward increase (3) Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang! A storm of blood shattered all the buildings in ck mes. Gambling halls, arena, auction halls, shopping malls, gymnasiums, etc Countless facilities were hit directly by a ck bloody storm in the blink of an eye and disappeared. Seeing that, I smiled lightly. Its definitely easier to mix skills than before, probably because my skill proficiency has gone up. Could it be because of raising the mastery of Unextinguished Mortal me as an item? Unlike before, it was not enough to activate the skill easily, and even the skill output rose slightly. Its a blow that was created by controlling the blood generated by the Blood Demon Artifact with the seeker of fresh blood and shooting it by surrounding it with an unextinguished mortal me . Of course, since the mana in the body is consumed by 10% per second, it cannot be maintained for very long. This was enough. Aplished the achievement Destruction of Residential Area. For destroying a town in amon area upied by vigntes. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward ] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from achievements increases. All stats increase by 4. popped up a bit It was worth it. Until now, the reward increase didnt activate unless I used it myself, but I didnt know that the reward increase authority would apply to achievement rewards as well. Amazing. Is this the real right to increase rewards? Come to think of it, it was said that the reward increase was upgraded and all kinds of rewards could be increased. This means that you can now enhance not only achievement rewards, but also all other rewards as well. Thinking about it made me smile. Should I say it was worth the hassle of going through the 21st floormon area instead of going straight to the next floor? satisfied enough. If I can use it properly, it will be extremely helpful. However, admiring the newly acquired right to increase rewards was short-lived. AA AA AA! Youre like a rotten demon! What the hell are you thinking, doing such a dog thing to a vignte Arc van Heustiger, who had been escorted to themon area, shouted in a fit of panic. His face was wrinkled as if he had seen something terrible. At that, I took out the sword that was tied around my waist and decapitated him. And that too without the slightest hesitation. Slow-! Absorbed the spirit of the challenger, Ark Van Heustiger. Challenger Seongyoon Han won 0.0004% closer to ascension by winning against an incapacitated enemy. My heart wasnt heavy at all. In the first ce, the only reason why Ark Van Heustiger was kept alive was to use him as a guide. I arrived at the ce I wanted, so there was no need to prolong my life. It would be better to change it to one of themandments and use it anywhere. As I wiped off the blood from my sword and looked at the messymon area, I heard a voice. DYou do a splendid job. Perhaps doing this would bother you a lot. Thats a lot too. It was Damcheonwoo. What do you mean by annoying? DYou must have heard about the Ares dimension while climbing the tower? The Ares dimension has an empire, and all the knights belong to the empire. Oh, Ive heard that. -So thats a problem. The vigntes who upied themon area on the 21st floor were probably from the Empire. If you kill all over hundreds of people, the Empire will make it a feat. It doesnt matter. At that, I smiled as I looked at the horribly copsing buildings. Even if I be an enemy of the empire, it will only benefit me. Even if you turn the empire into an enemy, it doesnt matter. This cannot be dismissed as too optimistic. It was worth it. Its already enough to call me a walking natural disaster. And if Im in the tower, even the Empire wont be able to touch me that directly. Even as a candidate among the challengers to climb the tower, he is being protected to some extent by the tower. But can the Empire pour all its power into me? Probably not. At best, it would be to the extent of urging the challenger in the upperyer to intrude into theyer. Even if they tried to intrude into the hierarchy, there was only one challenger to deal with. I didnt think I could beat it. If the empire turns me into an enemy, I will only destroy the empire. Andter, when the dayes when the strength is sufficiently umted, it was the intention to greedily take the fruit. A fruit named Empire that contains the sweetest juice. Feeling a little bit of anticipation for him, I heard Dam Chun-wuugh. But DI always think about it. Sungyoon Han. You guys are definitely crazy. The blood demon principal will guarantee it. It was more of a sense of fun than of being ridiculous. DThen I will watch what you do. And at the end of those words, I felt the mana vibrating between the copsed buildings. Its also a very dense magical power. Its nothing else The special power Battlefield of the Proud is activated, making it impossible to escape within a certain area. It will be consumed.] The special power Grace of the War King who favors knights is activated, and those who are ssified as knights be greatly stronger. Now they are ready to fight in earnest on the other side. *** Iughed as I read all the system messages that popped into my field of vision. It seems that various area effects were prepared while upying themon area . Most of it is an effect of the kind that can be offset anyway. Theres no such thing as prating, magic recovery prohibition, or skill sealing. At this point, its kind of disappointing. It was worth it. Goddesses or high-level wizards applied really annoying effects to the Deokji Deokji area. However, to think that there are only so many people who im to be protecting themon area on the 21st floor Its pitiful. I clicked my tongue at him and walked right to the vige where the vigntes were located, and the bite came right away. Dozens of knights in ck armor appeared between the ruined buildings. The power of those caught by the senses was not so great. Roughly speaking, it is on the same level as the articles I saw as soon as I entered themon area on the 21st floor. As soon as they all saw me, they were greatly shocked and began to surround me as if they were encamping. The assant The assant has appeared! Everyone surround this madman! A guy who wouldnt mind chewing on this! You show off well! I will kill you! Everyone, stay calm. Anyway, because of the authority, he will soon run out of stamina. Some were amazed, some were furious, and some were scornful. But no one seemed to be concerned. It was clear that he just wanted this situation to be sorted out quickly. Its as if hes fully prepared now, so he can defeat me at any time. Its fun. Of course I did. Currently, there are about 400 people in thismon area. In other words, if they were all considered vigntes, there were at least as many knights who knew how to handle swordsmanship. So it was not strange for everyone to believe that the fight would be over soon. But I dont like it very much. Because of that, the feeling of wanting to destroy this thorough trust grew stronger. The skill Adversary of the Realm is activated. All stats are boosted by +10% when dealing with a group alone. The moment one of the trivial skills obtained in the < Proof Field > was activated the other day. Shuk-. Immediately after that, I raised my right foot slightly and stepped on it as if I was stamping the ground. neither slow nor fast. It was just a simple step-like movement. Footsteps without even carrying magic power. Thats why the knights didnt pay much attention, and in the end, it was the cause of their death. Its not different-. And science and science !! As soon as he stepped on the ground, the floor cracked open and a shockwave was generated. In the twinkling of an eye, neatly pavedmon areas roads crumble. Soon, even the exposed dirt floor was overturned as if the earths surface exploded at once. Its also very strong. It was rewarding to raise my abilities to the fullest in < The Field of Proof >. Is it because of the stacking of all stat increases and various stat increase potions obtained while passing < The Field of Proof >? A shallow earthquake could be triggered more easily than expected. Of course, this isnt like a trump card that can kill enemies Well, at least it was enough for the knights to destroy the formations around me needlessly. I can move more freely now. Dirt dust spread thickly as if obscuring the view. I couldnt see where the enemies were, but I didnt have to. Its also true that you can tell where your enemies are with your senses. Because there is a way to deal with them at once anyway. In response, I immediately reced the divinity inside my body with cold energy and spilled that energy on the uneven ground. So, so, so, so!! The authority King of Winter is activated automatically when the conditions are met. All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. The cold energy imbued with divinity gathers dust and sweeps the ground at the same time. thoroughly frozen. Soon, the conditions for activating the authority were satisfied, and as the King of Winter, the whole body was greatly energized. And soon, in the ce where the dust disappeared As I thought, there were knights who were directly hit by the cold and howled in pain. Ah ah ah ah! Damn it! Bar feet! My feet are frozen! Aaaah! Are you a challenger specializing in body strengthening? How could this be possible? shit! Dont get burned and attack quickly! If we dont take the time, well all die! However, among the knights, those with skill were not injured. It was no different than protecting the body with an item or skill. They all started using their various abilities to pass the time. Skill characteristics, powers, etc. I used everything I could use to minimize the damage and spent my time meaninglessly. I think I know why theyre doing this. It was worth it. It has been 4 minutes since exposure to the special power Realm of the Desperate. Challenger Sungyoon Hans physical strength is reduced by 50% based on her maximum physical strength. Challenger Seongyoon Hans recovery speed of all physical strength is greatly slowed. As time passed, the special power that was set at the beginning activated an additional effect. That too in the form of a significant drop in stamina. I couldnt help but admire him to some extent. I hope you will be so persistent. If it were Murim, I think I would have tried not to use skills and powers even if I died. Admitted. Certainly, the challenger from the Ares dimension was strong. At least it seems certain that he is better as a challenger than the Moorim people You did it! I finally cut off that madmans stamina! All charge Still, it didnt matter much. Moonlight protection, the exclusive effect of the wrist guard (A) with moonlight, is activated. A shield made of moonlight covers the whole body in proportion to the amount of magic power consumed by the user. What the hell is that! Could it be that you were hiding your power? That should be the case Conditions satisfied. Physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > activated. With moonlight, all stats increase by 10%. With moonlight, all types of growth speed increases by 10%. I do. So far, Ive only dealt with them with the aim of analyzing half of them anyway. Chapter 246 246. Increased reward (4) Whoa! The moment when Moonlight Protection, the exclusive effect of the arm guard imbued with moonlight, is activated. Immediately, the brilliant moonlight enveloped his entire body and at the same time greatly energized him. Its nothing else Conditions satisfied. Physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > is activated. With moonlight, all stats increase by 10%. With moonlight, all types of growth speed increase by 10%. Physical Advantage < Moonlight Favor > is activated and all abilities temporarily rise . As a result, some of the stamina that was temporarily lost was returned. Of course, the stamina gained from the 10% increase in all stats was not that great. However [The skill Seeker of Blood is activated.] There were plenty of ways to recover lost physical strength anyway. charrrrrrrrr! In the blink of an eye, after the blood shed by several of the knights came to mind simultaneously. Just as it was, water droplets gushed out as if caught in a storm and were absorbed into my skin. The blood of others absorbed in this way soon became a new vitality as if to replenish lost stamina. very quickly too. The effect was not great for a special power than I thought. At that, I watched the knights tremble with their eyes stilling. It was like seeing an unbelievable sight. Ive been waiting for something since Ive been waiting for something since before, but I wasnt very satisfied with the result of being forced to drag out time. I think it would have been better if I had called one of the talented people. Until now, I acted as if I was going to die, and I believed in this power that consumes my stamina. It is below expectations. It was disappointing. Still, the disappointment was greater because I expected it to use all the abilities that could be used differently from the Moorim people. At that, I nced over at the knights standing there as if their bodies were frozen as if they were pitiful. Soon, the knights all seemed to be in a state of confusion, making quite dazed noises. I cant even get tired What kind of monster is that You must have lost more than half of your physical strength? How can I stand still! Blood is bleeding! He replenished his stamina through blood! Damn me! It seems that everyone believed in the powers being applied here . It would have been better to increase the power of the knights than to exclude intruders with authority. If so, the battle might have been a little different. But not anymore. I think I know roughly what level the knights are. Until now, I had hidden my hand and analyzed how far the knights could drive me. Because I had to know what characteristics challengers from other dimensions had. It was natural that it was a valuable experience to deal with the challengers from another dimension that he would constantly face while climbing the tower. Maybe there is a special skill that only challengers belonging to the Ares dimension have. But nothing meaningful. If you look closely at what they call an aura, its just a type of swordsmanship, and knights dont have special abilities. They were absurdly weak for upying themon area on the 21st floor. With the advantage of his abilities, even a slight stomp would break the formation In fact, there would be nothing to be gained by continuing the battle for a long time. After thinking that, I immediately activated all the skills I hadnt used before. Skill Combat eleration is activated. Skill Focus on Combat is activated. Skill Instantaneous eleration is activated Skill Amplification of Thought is active] And . Power skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 80%. Current skill ovep progress C [8] The moment the Power skill is activated by consuming holy power . As if lightly flicking his feet, he kicked off the ground and swung his twin swords. In the blink of an eye, the swords moved as if drawing a line, followed by a cheerful cutting sound in my ears. Im sorry-! Red blood was sttered everywhere, and at the same time, desperate screams resonated. I gave him a smile of satisfaction. It was not the idea that the challengers were judging the scum that took over the ce where the challengers could rest. In the first ce, I dont care so much unless Ive seen a terrible evil act that makes me frown. Its just that I liked the system message that popped into my view. The Breaking Sword breaks things that are hard to break, and the rank increases to S-ss (9160/50000). Growthbination Breaking things that are hard to break with the breaking sword, the grade is S-ss (12499/50000) As he cut down the knights who were wearing ck armor in chunks, the level of the broken sword rose. very quickly too. How can you grow a sword like this with just one knife? Unless it was an item with tolerable durability, even if it was broken horribly, the level of the breaking sword would not go up well It seemed that all the armor worn by the knights had excellent durability. If I cut more like this, the level of the breaking sword might go up. It can be said that it is an unexpected benefit. In response, I began to continue the massacre with my twin swords and sword steel. However, I didnt use a heart sword or an intangible sword. It wouldnt grow if you killed it with invisible swords created with divine power or magic rather than cutting it with a sword. jajajajak-! Retreat We have to retreat Theres no way you can beat something like that Oh, the de? crazy! Why did the So Sword Master appear in a ce like this! So Sword Master? shit! Call Lord Grootin! You have to have the same sword master to be an opponent! Even the growth is not limited to the breaking sword. The True Blood Demon Sword (A)s exclusive effect, Blood Eat, is activated. Absorbs arge amount of blood, increasing the items grade to A+ (9200/9200). Rating As the value reaches the point where growth is possible, the item will grow from A+ grade to S- grade. DHahahaha! I thought it was just worms! Still, its around the 21st floor, so the power in the blood is pretty thick! Finally, through the Blood Ceremony, the rank of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was raised. With the blood he absorbed while climbing the tower and the blood he killed the knights, his rank rose immediately. However, the growth of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword did not end there. The blood that had been scattered in the air as it cut countless knights rose by itself and was concentrated into the Blood Demon Sword against gravity. The True Blood Demon Sword (A)s exclusive effect, Blood Eat, is activated . By absorbing arge amount of blood, the items grade grows to S-rank (1427/15000) . DNow, foolish bugs, hurry up and show me even more blood! Dam Chun-wu showed his strength by shouting loudly to be heard around him, as if his emotions were heightened. The true blood demon swords soul ego skill < Blood de Surge (S-) > is activated . However, the power of the Soul Ego skill that was subsequently activated did not suit a simple exnation. As the skin is cut, the blood that is scattered and the struggle continues, the blood on the armor or the blood soaked in the soil moves. And Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! All that blood became a de that stabbed the enemies and gushed out at them. The blood-red de that suddenly rose up rushed like a gust of wind without hesitation, as if it were going to grind away the enemies. Of course, since it was an attack made of blood, the scale of the attack was different depending on the amount of blood . Aaaaaaaa! I feel like my skin is burning! Save me! Is it a skill that has a pain amplification effect? Damn it What the hell is that monster ? If you do that, the pain will be less! Seeing that scene, I swung my sword wide once and admired it in my heart. It was worth it. Its nothing else The Soul Ego skill < Blood de Surge (S-) > is a Soul Ego skill Ive never seen before. Did this be possible as the level of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword increased Unlike before, the item grade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword reached S-grade, and the number of skills that could be used increased. The currently avable Soul Ego skills also have great performance I never thought there would be more skills that can be used after growing like this. I smiled with pleasure at the new change. Then, can a new skill be added whenever the grade goes up? Perhaps the Blood Heaven Demon Sword could be used even more in battle. I was looking forward to how good the Soul Ego skill would be if I raised my level with Blood Ceremony. Since the newly acquired Soul Ego skill grade is S-ss, the Soul Ego skill to be acquiredter will be even more excellent. If that happens, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword can be used as a trump card. I can see everything here as the experience of item growth. There were more rewards than I thought, so my movements became faster. Im sorry! As time passed, the opponent quickly counterattacked as if they had adapted to the battlefield. Following the exclusive effect of Moonlight Protection of the Moonlight Wrist Protector, various skills were added, so they did not deal much damage. Of course, even if this protection was pierced, since the spirits were piled up, the necromancy-only shield would have been activated anyway. In the first ce, theyre not fighting equal battles. For me, who can demonstrate a high level of skill many times over in a melee from the beginning, victory is like a certainty. So the scene from now on was just a simple nogada. He spent his time killing so many knights. And Achievement Nemesis of All Knights has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement is [D+ grade] ] to [C+ level]. The skill Chivalry Trampler (C+) is created. At some point, a new message popped up in my field of vision and the newly acquired skill was activated. The skill Those who trample on chivalry is activated. All skill growth is elerated by 10% against enemies that follow chivalry. Even if there are many growth eleration skills, there is nothing to lose. In other words, it is an ability that does not need to be disassembled by skill synthesis or the seal of offering. It was a moment when I felt satisfied and smiled at the fact that I was gaining more and more unexpectedly. Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in my ear. The call suddenly rang, so I came here to do something, and there really was a sword master. When I turned my head, I could see a sharp-looking young man with sparkling blue eyes. Roughly speaking, it was only now that I had reached the point where I could change my swordsmanship. He was probably close to what the challengers from the Ares dimension call Sword Master. Actually Let me introduce you. This body is said to be the 67th Sword Master of the Empire, Grutin Rasnil. He also waved his blue hair and said that he was a sword master. Who are you, why are you messing around here? Only then did I realize a certain fact and answered the question with a deep smile. Who is who? Its nothing else Hes the one wholl kill you from now on. He finally realized that an enemy who could be called a main dish had arrived. Chapter 247 247. Reward Increase (5) Grootin Lasnil. a madman. The young man with blue hair who introduced himself as the Empires 67th Sword Master frowned. It makes me wonder what dimension a challenger can be so rude. Then he nced at me with a glimmer of life, and then he sneered at me. Its like I finally know who I am. It was time to stare at him for a while, feeling interested in him. Grootin Rasnil opened his mouth and continued speaking confidently. Looking at the sword, it looks like a challenger belonging to the Moorim dimension However, none of his guesses were correct. Are you a soldier sent from the five generations or a ce like the old file room? You want to share the interest in themon area on the 21st floor? Its the five generations, the old file room Its the same with suddenly saying the name of the group on the side of the Moorim dimension. It was absurd to know that I had caused a massacre here as a dispute over interests. And that wasnt all. At least 100 knights were dead, but Grutin Rasnil didnt have much to worry about. As if the people here were just as good. Are the challengers in the same group considered consumables Even the killing spree that were scattering on me at the moment was close to displeasure. It didnt feel like camaraderie at all. Actually If thats the case, challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension are allowed to enter and leave themon area on the 21st floor. Grutin Rasnil ran his hand through his blue hair with his left hand and said so. It seems that you have reached the level of a sword master, so if you ept the conditions and leave this ce, I will not hold you ountable. It was fun. To share this right on a topic that had been thoroughly exploited against the weak so far Justice was not very strong in his convictions for what he had been talking about. Of course, I can understand why it behaves the way it does. It must be that he doesnt want to deal withter work. Perhaps, considering the aftermath of a fierce battle with a challenger belonging to Moorim, he did not want to prolong the fight. But unlike his thoughts that dont fit anything, I dont have a back stomach. And he didnt belong to any disparate group, and he wasnt too angry that he monopolized the 21st floormon area. Im not interested in such trivial things. Im just trying to get rid of the aftereffects because they touched me. What is that And watching Grutin Rasnil frown, I immediately activated my authority. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. Poof-! In the blink of an eye, I appeared in front of my opponent in a sword-swinging stance. Shunbo is an authority that moves through space so quickly that movement cannot be recognized unless the harbinger is read. In fact, its the best ambush ability that doesnt give the opponent a chance to do anything. Thats why I thought that Grutin Rasnils head would fly off in an instant Kagagak-! Still, do you have enough skills to introduce yourself as a sword master? I swung the sword with the intention of shing the opponents throat at once Grutin Rasnils splendid longsword was covered with dew-like sword steel, blocking the sword strike. Its also very neat. this! A lowly thing that cant even be eaten! How dare you disobey the will of the Empire! In response, Grutin Rasnil spat out a voice full of rage, followed by a shout. Its like he didnt know that he woulde out this strong. But instead of being frightened by him, I gave my sword more strength. And tantly-. Grutin Rasnils splendid longsword formed an incontinence in the sword steel. It was worth it. Even if they are the same sword steel, this one has the upper hand in terms of skill, and in addition, I am wearing various buffs on the broken cloth. Therefore, it was only natural that the other side would be at a disadvantage. Such a savage! kuh! The Empire will not forget this! Moon moon moon! Is the power transmitted as swords collide with one another that is difficult to withstand? Now, the hand holding the sword was shaking without being able to properly channel or receive the power. Now that I look at it, it seems that I am being pushed not only by sword mastery, but also by physical ability. I gave strength to the sword and bent it as if crushing him, then looked down with cold eyes and said. doesnt care. and. I have no intention of avoiding a fight anyway. next moment. Skill Decelerate target target is strongly activated. Challenger Glutin Rasnils all speeds are reduced by 40% for 4 minutes. Activate the skill to slow Goutin Rasnils movement and push him. hit Tung-! Ouch! The moment when Grutin Rasnil was pushed back, unable to withstand the power of the sword. At that, I grabbed the breaking sword and immediately lowered my left hand. Its nothing else The usurpers Leather Gloves (SS+) exclusive effect, Forced Skill Borrowing is activated. Designate one of the opponents skills and borrow that skill for 10 minutes. Rental target designationplete. Forcibly borrowing the skill Rasnil-style Aura de (A+) from the other party for 10 minutes. Because I need to get rid of the sword, which is no different from an obstacle to the growth of the breaking sword. What! The brilliant blue aura de disappeared from the splendid longsword. And that too without leaving a single trace. Of course, Grutin Rasnil immediately stepped back and tried to activate the de again, but The usurpers leather gloves (SS+) is a holy relic that can take away anything the opponent has, as long as its a skill. So no matter how hard he tried to create an aura de, there was no way it would work. This is nonsense! How can I get a de with just an item! Grootin Rasnil shouted with his eyes wide open as if he couldnt understand. I had no intention of exining it, so I moved my sword right away. And at the same time, Grutin Rasnil also reluctantly responded to the swordy. However, the sword-to-sword sh did not maintain the same tenseposition as before. Kwajangchang! The Breaking Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the grade grows to S-ss (19974/50000). The moment the Breaking Sword broke Grutin Rasnils splendid longsword. At the same time as activating the power skill, he unfolded the 100 sashimi of the white sword sword that he had previously learned from the white crane swordsman. White Sword Ind Sea. It was a technique that made a sword attack as if closing space without giving the opponent a chance to evade. The exclusive effect of the Power skill skill, Hongwon Demon Sword, Doubling is activated. Consumes holy power to increase the power of Power skill skills by [4] times. Unsurprisingly-! A cool cutting sound echoed and a system message appeared in my field of vision. Absorbed the spirit of challenger Grutin Rasnil. Challenger Seongyoon Han won 3.1% closer to ascension by winning against Divinity. Exclusive effect Sword Mastery (D- ).] From now on, all swordsmanships used by challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive additional corrections. Grootin Rasnil died without any incident. Still, I thought there would be at least one skill or item dedicated to resurrection . Then I brushed off the blood on the sword and turned my head to look around. All of the many knights lost their lives before they knew it, and themon area on the 21st floor was in a state of silence. It was worth it. Before Grutin Rasnil arrived, most of the knights were robbed of their blood by the Blood Demon Sword and were too wounded to survive. Maybe some of them got away while Grutin Rasnil was wasting his time. But it didnt matter. But at this level, the intended purpose has been achieved. Missing a few people isnt such a big loss, and weve gained more than we expected. To be honest, I didnt know that the idea of wanting hair color would lead to such a high level of growth. So far, I had only defeated the enemies in front of me. The people behind it didnt even care. But not anymore. Now I wont dare let the enemy go. Even if the enemies didnt sin so badly that they died. If you take a hostile stance even a little bit, I will deal with everything. because it makes you stronger Are all the things to see in themon area on the 21st floor now over Well, even if you stay here, theres a chance that more reinforcements will arrive . So now I was thinking of getting what I could get and leaving. So I wandered inside the copsedmon areas and got everything I could get. Iplete Lost Feather of the Phoenix (B) Resentment of the Lost Dead (C+) Scroll of Lost Knowledge (B-) . . Items that can be used as materials. Random Search Skill Book (C-) Random Intimidate Skill Book (C-) Random eleration Skill Book (C-) . . Random Skill Acquisition Book. Skill Mastery Up Potion (D-) Skill Mastery Up Potion (D-) Skill Mastery Up Potion (D-) . . Skill Mastery Up Potion. There are surprisingly many things that can be saved? There were many things within themon area that copsed than expected. But when you think about it, there was nothing strange about it. In the first ce, themon area is also a ce used to trade items. However, although there were many things that could be retrieved, it was difficult to find high-quality items. . Is it because the bloody seeker was loaded with an unquenchable mortal me? Previously, items that were presumed to have been high-level equipment were all in a broken state. At least the items in a corner warehouse-like ce are fine. After a few minutes of searching, I finally realized that there was nothing more to be gained. Even though I gained a lot, its a pity. At that, I licked my lips and absorbed all the blood spilled on the street with the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. The True Blood Demon Sword (A)s exclusive effect, Blood Eating, is activated. Absorbs arge amount of blood and the items grade grows to S-ss (9974/15000). Thats right. The Blood Heaven Demon Sword has just risen to S-ss level The Blood Heaven Demon Sword will grow again soon. As if his growth had elerated, he sucked in blood and grew incredibly fast. Presumably, if it bes an S-ss item, a new soul ego skill will be created in the Blood Demon Sword. Thinking of that brought a smile to my lips. I was looking forward to what the newly created Soul Ego skill would be. I smiled at him and soon absorbed all the spirits on the street and converted them into abilities. Permanently increase stats by using all possessed spirits. Muscle strength increased by 5 Agility increased by 3 Stamina increased by 7 Magic power increased by 7 Durability increased It has risen by 4. The rate of increase in stats itself was not that high. It was worth it. The knights in themon area on the 21st floor werent strong enough to have a meaningful impact on me. The ability value substitution efficiency is lowered. The skill False Laughter (D-) is created. The skill Dagger Throw (F+) is created. The skill Continuous Attack (E+) is created Even the skill The skills obtained through absorption were alsockluster. I dont think I can use it even with skill synthesis, so Ill have to change it into divine power. In response, I immediately used all the skill learning books to acquire skills and activated the seal of offering. The seal of offering (SS-) exclusive effect, Offering (B) is activated. Received a total of 31 skills from yourself. Reces the corresponding abilities into divine power and umtes them in the heart. Most of the skills were not usable even with skill synthesis anyway, so there was no regret. The skill Steel Feed is activated. Then, all useless items were changed to Steel Feed Completely absorbed. By absorbing steel, the constitution is improved. Releases 4.9% of () Muscle strength increases by 1 Agility increases by 1Stamina increases by 1 Durability increases by 1 Magic power increases by 1 . All abilities have grown, albeit in small ways. The ability level growth efficiency has gone down a lot. Steel eating also grew and the rate of increase in stats rose, but this is what it looks like. Once again, I felt that I had be really strong. It was all the more so because recently there had been no fierce battles that could be called fierce battles. In the previous battle with the usurper on the 18th floor, I felt that we were risking our lives to some extent If you want to speed up your growth, you wont be able to stay like this. I thought about it with my eyes closed. If you want to be strong enough to be a real god, you cant grow like this. It means that you have to fight in a ce where the risk is so great that a single mistake can cost you your life. And the ce that could be was right nearby. Is it time to climb the tower? The time hase to challenge the individual trials on the 21st floor. So far, I havepletely cleared countless trials without failure. Even if he almost lost his life, his ordeal sess rating was higher than anyone elses. This is objective information that can also be known through the settlement rankings in the Tower of Trials. Because of that, the difficulty level of the trials must have be much more difficult than other challengers. So I couldnt help but wonder. You have entered the waiting room on the 21st floor. How strong will the enemy appear in the personal ordeal you have been going through for a long time? Chapter 248 248. Necromancer (1) You have entered the waiting room on the 21st floor. As soon as I returned to the waiting room, I immediately opened my inventory. Originally, if I had checked all the rewards, I wouldnt have had to look at the inventory Among the items I picked up in themon area on the 21st floor, there were some that I didnt use right away. Thats very important too. Skill proficiency increase potion Grade: D- Special potion specially prepared by the tower for beings with skills. When taken, the mastery of one of the possessed skills can be increased by 1% at random. Some corner The skill proficiency increase potion obtained from a ce like a warehouse was like that. Of course, since the item level is not high, the effect is insignificant. Still, there were 10 D-ss skill proficiency potions. In other words, at least one skill can increase proficiency by 10%. Then, it was decided where to use these skill proficiency potions. Skill C Unquenchable mortal me (S-) Proficiency C 94.21% Description C A me of cmity that brings about the causal rate of mortality. The me of mortality that cannot be quenched was now on the verge of a rank-up. A state of waiting for only a 6% increase in proficiency. In response, I drank 6 skill proficiency potions as if pouring them into my mouth. Then, at the system message that came to mind, he said while wiping the moisture from his mouth. You have consumed 6 skill proficiency increase potions (D-). A total of 6% skill proficiency increase is possible. Select a skill to increase your proficiency. next moment. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skill, Eternal me (S-) mastery increases by 6%. Skill Unextinguished Mortal me (S-) mastery reached 100% The level of the skill Unextinguished Mortal me (S-) has risen by one level. Unextinguished mortal me reached 100% proficiency and the skill has grown. The undying mortal me has reached an S-ss skill. So I couldnt help but test its effect. In response, I immediately focused my mind and activated the skill. The skill Unextinguished mortal me is activated. Fright! A ck me appeared in the empty air and soon shook as if to announce its presence. In response, I reached out my hand to the ck me that swayed widely, and my eyes widened when I saw that it had transferred to my finger. It was worth it. The ck me, which had never affected me until now, was burning like it was eating away at my fingers. Not even that. What is this again Currently, the healing effect applied to the waiting room and the regenerating effect of the gray blood are ovepping. So even if the finger burns, it should be restored right away. For some reason, it was not regenerating. In response, I immediately turned off the unquenchable mortal me and watched my fingertips for a moment. There were unknown traces where the ck me disappeared. Still, is it because of the experience of divinity to some extent? I noticed that the traces of this ck paint were something close to divinity. Also, because of this divine power, the power has risen to the point of harming me as the user. If you look at it closely, you should say that this is a kind of divine authority. Are there any skills that have simr effects to divine powers I was surprised. An effect like divine power added to the fire that burns everything? Perhaps, when the unquenchable mortal me reaches S+ level, it may have the same effect as a real divine power. Even if 10% of mana was consumed per second, being able to use divine power without cost was a great advantage. I dont think I can see much effect with the mortal me that hasnt been extinguished yet I put a small smile on my lips at that. Still, if I grow my skills, Ill be worth watching. Im guessing, if I continue to develop my skills like this, wouldnt it be possible to deal an indelible blow to the Goddess? I felt that way without knowing why. The intuition that this unquenchable mortal me would soon be a lethal power even to the godhead. In reality, if you get hit directly by this unquenchable mortal me, even if its a god, youll take a big hit. Im looking forward to it. I was filled with anticipation and immediately drank the remaining 4 skill proficiency potions. If there is an additional 4% proficiency increase, the magic circuit skill can grow. So, there was no reason to save skill proficiency potions. Its a level that raises the proficiency by at most 4% anyway, but it didnt seem like it would help much if I saved this kind of thing. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skill Magical Circuit (A) mastery increased by 4%. The skill Magic Circuit (A) mastery has reached 100%. Skill Magic Circuit (A) has reached 100%.] The grade of (A) goes up by one level. With this, the magic circuit skill has now reached A+ level As soon as the magic circuit skill grew, the quality of the magic circuit linked to the blood line increased dramatically. Could it be that it can handle magic more efficiently than before? It is a small but satisfying growth. After thinking that, I took out the Mirror of Faith from my inventory. Mirror of Faith Rating: SSS- Completion of Holy Relic: 3% A special mirror created by the God of Proof in the hope that a certain challenger will sprout faith. When it ispleted, the mirror of faith also besplete as a sacred relic. Could it be that the starting point was the defeat of all the enemies without mercy in themon area on the 21st floor? The Mirror of Faith also achieved some growth as a holy relic. Even though its still only about 3%, the level of perfection will rise significantly if you face an opportunity to grow mentally. When he put the Mirror of Faith in his inventory, a thought suddenly popped into his head. Come to think of it, isnt the ascension effect obtained with < Possibility of Transcendence > close to 50%? The ascension effect, which had greatly increased the abilities rted to divinity, had already umted close to 50%. It was worth it. It was because he climbed the tower and defeated countless enemies without even having time to catch his breath. So its no wonder that the percentage of ascensions rose so quickly. Perhaps, if there is a chance to defeat the enemies greatly, the ascension rate will reach 100%. But there was a problem. I cant guess what I can get even if I reach 100% ascension with < Possibility of Transcendence >. It means they dont know what the ultimate effect of ascension is. Of course, I know that it will greatly strengthen the abilities rted to divinity. I couldnt imagine anything concrete about what awaited me beyond that. I just thought that if I filled the entire percentage of Ascension, there would be truly amazing growth. Youll find out sooner orter anyway. If you climb the tower and deal with the godhead and the apostle, < Possibility of Transcendence > will activate without stopping. Now it was clear that the ascension was not far away. So, until then, you just have to wait for the answer to this question. The moment he got up from his seat after organizing his thoughts as if cutting them off. The administrator, the Iron Blood Lord, is looking at the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Suddenly, the Iron Blood Lord popped up a system message. Its like youve been waiting for everything to be done. But there was no time to look at it and be curious. Thats probably the case too The manager, the Iron Blood Lord, has something to tell you about the secret wish. Before asking anything, the other side told me what the main point was. The manager Iron-Blooded Lord invites you to the managers realm. That is a very important point that cannot be ignored. *** I have entered the world of Iron Blood. As soon as I opened my eyes, the grave of swords piled up in my eyes came into my field of vision. It looks like nothing has changed. Feeling a sense of longing for him, as I moved toward my destination, I heard a voice in my ear. Its nothing else DYou are the first challenger who can fulfill the managers earnest wish on the 20th floor. It was Damcheonwoo. Perhaps there is something I want to tell you about the secret wish Dam Chun-wu is a challenger who climbed the tower to the same level as the iron-blooded lord manager. There was no need not to listen to him, so I opened my mouth while listening. Originally, it seems that achieving a managers secret wish isnt easy on the 20th floor. -of course. The manager is a challenger who climbed the tower beyond the 40th floor. Is it normal for such people to have unfulfilled wishes that they cling to? DIt wasnt until I reached the 28th floor that I could fulfill the administrators long-cherished wish. So you better be prepared. All right. Even after that, Dam Chun-wu told me various things. Its not very useful, but its worth remembering. So I listened to him and soon opened the door of the cabin beyond the snowy garden. And Its been a while since Ive seen your face. When I entered the cabin, a beauty with red eyes and silver hair greeted me. The manager, Iron-Blooded Lord, smiles at challenger Han Seong-yoon.] Challenger Han Seong-yoon. To that, I also simply bowed and greeted her. Iknow, right. Long time no see. The iron-blooded lord. Still, Im a contractor in name and color, so Id like you to show your face a lot. Even if thats not the case, I was thinking of stopping by sooner orter. Yes. to lie If the manager hadnt sent a message, he would have climbed the tower. The iron-blooded lord said that with an alluring smile. Should I say that he is quick-witted like a challenger who climbed the tower beyond the 40th floor? Originally, I knew that I was going to climb the tower without even thinking about seeing her face. was it that obvious? Thanks to the poker face he learned while climbing the tower, I dont think he shows his emotions that well Perhaps the iron-blooded monarch has a better eye than any other manager. As if avoiding her eyes, I turned my head and changed the topic. Come to think of it, didnt you say you had something to say about the Secret Garden? Huh. Are you turning the topic like this? Its been a while since Ive seen you, so youve got a lot to hide. Its a joke. It seems you are still not used to farming. We have a close rtionship with each other under contract, but wouldnt it be possible to exchange light jokes? Is that so Looking at her smiley smile, I fell silent in my heart. For being joking, I think he really meant to outwit him. But the thoughts didntst long. So now lets get to the point. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. My message to you is simple. Afterwards, the iron-blooded lord showed a cold expression on his face and brought up the main topic. The top touched my secret wish. I dont know why, but the divine intervention became possible. It is also the intervention of an old deity. Then she ran her hand through her long silver hair and continued. Perhaps if you challenge the secret wish, you will have to deal with the deity. There were no surprises now. I expected to some extent that the tower would allow the divine intervention. Now, like a usurper, I can im victory over a deity who has just formed a status. Its probably trying to make manager events like Secret Garden more difficult than individual trials. So this is a problem in the realm that can be understood. Setting aside the fact that the Tower allowed the intervention of the Divine Spirit, how can the Divine Spirit intervene in the secret wish? When I quietly asked him a question, the iron-blooded lord replied with a bitter smile. Originally, the world I stayed in was destroyed by a god. We couldnt stop the invasion of the godhead from another world. I dont think that I guess I can guess now. Its what you think. You must stop the invasion of the godhead that was in my world in the past. And as she continued, I had no choice but to open my eyes wide. Even the tower seems to have embraced the deity that will appear in Secret Garden as the same existence as back then. It was worth it. Evil god. A godhead who leads countless demons and corrupts all living things. You will have to face the deity. evil god. Following the Giant Tree Labyrinth, he is a divinity who has gained some familiarity in < The Field of Proof >. It was tantamount to saying that a deity with whom she had a bad rtionship to the point of having murderous intentions would appear in her earnest wish. And you will have to deal with the true form of the evil spirit, not like an incarnated form. Even without any penalty. *** You have entered the waiting room on the 21st floor. I returned to the waiting room immediately after hearing about the secret wish from the Iron Blood Lord. She said this about the secret garden. Its nothing else -Theres nothing to worry about. Such a wish can be fulfilled at any time. So you only think of yourself He said he would not ask me to clear The Secret Garden anymore. He said that he would wait here until he gained enough strength. But after hearing her words, I couldnt help but feel confused. Because the ordeal that will lead to catastrophic rtions with the managers on the 27th floor is not far away. Perhaps if I dont fulfill the managers longing before the 27th floor, there may be no opportunity after that. Of course, I wont let the administrators die in the ordeal on the 27th floor. But after that, I dont know if I can fulfill my long-cherished wish so that the administrators dont die. From then on, its a gamble Im not sure if Ill seed. If so, is there anything I can do for the admins? As I was chewing on his lips, I heard Damcheonwus words as the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hummed. DWhat are you going to do? His voice was calm and quiet. C Evil God. If its that divinity that built bad ties with you Its sure to be a difficult fight. But I could tell. Dam Chun-woo also vaguely noticed what I would choose. At that, I shed cold eyes and tightly gripped the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. Anyway, a battle without penalty against a godhead is a problem you will have to face someday. After dying the choice and running away, there was nothing to be gained. Then there is no need to dy it. The managers long-cherished wish wille true. Its just a few floors away. If there is something to be done, it must be done right. It doesnt matter if the old godhead bes an enemy. I gave him a greedy smile. I, too, just have to stand on an equal footing with that deity. Im guessing I will enter the 21st floor of the Tower of Trials. The growth rate from now on will be different from before. Chapter 249 249. Necromancer (2) The moment you cross the ordeal entry portal on the 21st floor. In an instant, everything that came into view changed. The wind that swayed against the skin of the sunlight that came in between the leaves, covered with leaves. The sound of birds chirping on the vegetation. Before I knew it, I was in the middle of the forest. Since it was the first floor I entered aftering to the 20th floor, I thought that a fierce battle could happen right away I never thought the 21st floor ordeal stage would be such a lively forest. To be honest, it felt like I was at a resort, so somehow I felt like a part of my heart was being purified. However, there was no time to feel that deep emotion. That should be the case Enter the 21st floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Difficulty The subject of the ordeal is Necromancer. I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result at the end of their choice. Before I knew it, a system message announcing the start of the ordeal appeared in my field of vision. The trial on the 21st floor begins. Time remaining C 1 month Trial break condition C Despair, fall, and kill the apostle serving the god of madness within the remaining time Trial failure condition C death of the challenger or the remaining time The moment when I read all the system messages that popped into my view within the End of the trial Reward for breaking through the trial C the scabbard of a swordsman who pursued mystery (SS-) Penalty for failing the trial C death . Now, can individual trials be assigned to something like this Looking at the phrase written in the contents of the ordeal, I calmed my eyes coldly. It was worth it. Its nothing else because one of the ancient deities was entangled in this personal ordeal on the 21st floor. Thats very important too. An apostle who serves the god of despair, fall, and madness The first candidate selected by the Tower. Beginning with the finalyer of the giant treebyrinth, a being that constantly shows hostility toward me. There are many other words that could describe this ancient deity, but one thing was certain. It will be an ordeal where you may really die. It means that at the current growth rate, it is an opponent that can never be defeated. Of course, the content of the ordeal was not to deal with the god of despair, fall, and madness, but to deal with the apostle of the ancient deity Still, the personal ordeal on the 21st floor could not be underestimated. It was confirmed in the Giant Tree Labyrinth that the Ancient Goddess could fight even the poorly ranked Godheads. Aria, the apostle of the god of darkness, also won andslide victory against the incarnation of the god. Perhaps the apostle who served the god of despair, fall, and madness had powerparable to that of a god. So, it must have been assigned as a condition for clearing the individual trials on the 21st floor. Continuing my thoughts like that, I soon stepped away, grabbed the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, and spoke. It was because he thought that maybe Dam Chun-wu knew something. Come to think of it, do you know anything about the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead? Even though he is currently nothing more than a soul ego dwelling in the Blood Demon Sword, he is a challenger who has climbed beyond the 40th floor. Considering the condition of information disclosure in the tower, which became somewhat lower as you climbed the floors, there is a possibility that it could tell you something. Soon after, I looked down at the Blood Heaven Demon Sword with eyes filled with anticipation, and soon the de rang and the answer came back. C Do you know to some extent? I havent seen too many of them, so I cant say for sure. It will serve as a reference material. The tower has put restrictions on that part DNo. Perhaps you thought you deserved this much information. It wont do much harm to me if I reveal this. Is that so. At least it was good news. This means that you can gauge the opponents strength in advance through a conversation with Damcheonwu. Knowing even a little is the difference between not knowing at all. It would be of great help if you could learn about the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead before the battle. I smiled lightly at him and immediately asked a question. Well done, then. Apostle of the Ancient Godhead. How strong are you? DIt depends on the grade. As you know, the ranks that determine the rank of an official apostle range from 1st to 4th. I have only seen a level 2 apostle. If that is fine, please let me know. And DI had encountered an apostle of a demon before. The official apostle rank was 2nd grade. I can roughly describe the power he possesses. next moment. DEnough to destroy a at the end of a fierce battle. Hearing those words, I could only stop and be stunned. *** . The moment I heard that the power of the apostle of the ancient deity was enough to destroy the after a fierce battle. Shocked at the power that seemed to deviate frommon sense, he asked Dam Chun-wu again. About whether what I just heard is true. But the power of a 2nd-ss official apostle is enough to destroy a? The expectation that it might have been misunderstood soon copsed like a sand castle. DThats right. At that time, I killed the devils apostle. However, the dimension that served as the battlefield copsed as it was. Its also very miserable. DIt was not a power that mortals could handle. It was definitely a power that touched the realm of divinity. In fact, we also dealt with divine powers. What is that I was dumbfounded. To be honest, I can barelyprehend that it would destroy a. Despite being an apostle, it is difficult to understand that he is dealing with divine powers that can be possessed by a god. That would be the case too An apostle is not a god. Theres no way you can handle divine powers, right? It doesnt even have a unique divinity. Divine power is to deal with the inherent divinities in the heart. Even if I have used divine authority by using apostle painting before, it is always because I originally had a unique divinity. Divinity < Death > and < Immortality > are only my own unique divinity. But, how could such divine authority be used by a mere official apostle? It was understandable that it was difficult to understand. But -Yes. An apostle is not a deity. But to put it the other way around, isnt it true that even an apostle can use divine authority if he touches the realm of divinity? DThe apostle had already escaped mortality and was clumsily constructing a divinity for himself. He just imed to be an apostle even though he met the qualifications to be a god. At least, the apostles of the ancient deities are beings close to deities. I felt my head pounding and started walking again. This is not an apostle at all, but a deity. As befits an individual ordeal on the 21st floor, the difficulty level had risen to an absurd level. This is what I felt when I battled against the usurper before. I thought that perhaps, by the 30th floor, I might evenpete with the incarnation of an ancient deity. It was worth it. Even though I had just reached the 21st floor, the ordeal level was so crazy that I was running rampant. Still, I think I can win but Im not sure. But it never urred to me that I couldnt win. No matter how powerful he is, his enemies are only apostles. Even if it is an apostle of an ancient deity, it will be the one who wins the battle at the end of the battle. There are still many cards hidden. If we fightter, well know more urately. As I was walking down the street, organizing my thoughts, I suddenly felt a strange energy. Its nothing different. Thend that was full of life suddenly became a drynd beyond a certain section. That wasnt all. What is this again? magic. The energy that can only be felt in ces where monsters live began to be felt all over the ce. Its like the demonic scene seen in < Savior of the End >, the alternative ordeal quest on the 16th floor. Of course, it hasntpletely encroached on the forest yet, but its clear that the situation isnt very good. It was then. Satisfying special conditions. Facing a special situation, the provision of information to challenger Han Seong-yoon is permitted. There is a point where you can create a special task beyond 100km. When you clear the special task, the 21st floor is a trial. It is possible to obtain information rted to. If you do not reach the special task creation point within 10 minutes, the special task creation point will disappear. But since Ive been in this situation a couple of times, Im not embarrassed. Instead, I quickly read the system messages and finished assessing the situation. Its been a while since a special task was created Of course, strictly speaking, its still before the special task has been created But anyway, its possible to create a special task when you reach beyond 100 km, so it seems like a special task has already been created. Its no different. At that, I raised the corners of my lips and gave a small smile. Even if it wasnt, a special task appeared appropriately at the time when it was necessary to acquire information about the 21st floor ordeal. Still, the Tower doesnt have no conscience at all. Thanks to T.O.Ps consideration, not consideration, there is no need to bother ying detective. In response, I immediately kicked off the seat while activating various skills. very quickly too. Paaang-! The body elerates in the blink of an eye, and the scenery changes in less than a few seconds. The moment they arrived at thend stained with rotten energy, even the vegetation disappeared. I could see why it was said that if I didnte here within 10 minutes, the creation of the special task would be impossible. Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! A rogue bird with a size that exceeded 10m was screaming and running amok. To rot! Does this worm-like monster ignore even those who serve death! Heh heh! keep up! Only by protecting the shrine maiden can we keep the prophecy of the n! Damn, damn, damn! At least protect Miko with corpses! Even against people in ck clothes. Each of them was holding a staff made of ck wood, around which the undead were herded. Its probably a tribe of corpse masters Despite their excellent skills, dozens of corpses were destroyed at once with each blow of the rogue bird. Is that why I said that you have to reach this ce within 10 minutes to receive a special assignment? I rolled my eyes for a moment and looked at the monstrous bird, it doesnt look like an ordinary monster. Like the monsters that were baptized in the giant treebyrinth, the rogue bird had divine power in its arms. It is also a very muddy divine power. I grinned at the divine power that reminded me of the despair, fall, and madness I had seen before. Im sure. I can get information about the 21st floor personal ordeal right away. If you save those local guides (?), you can learn about the apostles who serve the ancient gods. In response, I jumped right away with my skills activated, and the moment I fired the spirit sword as it was. Just like that, the monsters body was cut neatly in half. Chow-! And at the same time, Inded where the rogue bird fell and took off the mask of despair (B+) from my face. Absorbed themand of the monster Despairing Rimicar. Although shock absorption and power efficiency increase are good items in their own way. In this situation, isnt it better to show your face to give people friendliness? After the ordeal, there was nothing to see each other anyway, so there was no reason to hide their faces. At that, I took off my mask and smiled and opened my mouth. hello? However, without knowing why, he smiled as much as possible to give a friendly feeling, so the enemies put more caution in their eyes. That wasnt all. Unlike before, he seemed determined to die for real. The corpse masters in ck robes quietly manipted the corpses and began wrapping them around them to protect themselves. Seeing that, I squinted my eyes, and soon the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rang out. DYou really didnt think that if you greeted with a smile in this situation, the enemy would be less vignt, right? DCrazy man. Even Samcheok-dong would not think so. After climbing the tower for a long time, isnt something in your head weird? There was nothing to say after asking like that. Hes tougher than I thought. I could never have thought that seeing such a kind smile would inte such vignce. Even though he appeared out of nowhere, he was the one who defeated the enemy and saved them. The moment you seriously think about whether you should use a skill to raise your favorability. Suddenly, a childish voice was heard among the corpse magicians who had formed a circle around something. Ah ah ah! Uh, how can you have such a domineering aura! and. Miss Mu? Dangerous! Do you know who that man is and say this! Thats the one the predecessors prophesied about! yes? What is that If thats the case, isnt that man? yes. So, everyone, please get out of the way. This is not a request, this is an order! There was amotion for a while, and soon the corpses cleared the way. In the meantime, a ck-haired woman appeared, hiding her eyes as if she had just be an adult. She suddenly looked in my direction and then shed tears and said tearfully. An aura like death itself ah you are the being of the prophecy. yes? You dont have to say anything. The ns prophet told me in the past. No, what is that. One day, when the end of the worldes, a spirit of death will appear to stop it. . I was dumbfounded by that, so I kept my mouth shut and watched the situation, but a system message suddenly came to my mind. The special task Savior of the n begins. Currently, the Hermians who serve death are obsessed with the spirit of prophecy. They believe that the spirit inhabited by death will save the family and the world. Here Be recognized by the Mian n and be worshiped by them as a divine spirit. When you achieve the goal of the special task, you will know where the apostles serving the gods of despair, fall, and madness are. When you achieve the goal of the special task Additional settlement will be made for all types of breakthrough rewards. Then, after reading the system message in an instant, I finally understood the situation. Prophecies of death, worship of divine salvation, etc After looking at the keywords, I got a sense of what to do. Originally, I knew this because I had done this a few times. Youre quick to notice. Thats right. I am the spirit of the Hermian n. From now on So, from now on, please rely on me. -her. Now you dont even spit in your mouth and youre cheating. Its a scam?. D? Its true that Im not a god, but a god. Its right to save the world, right? I didnt tell a single lie. D Its not fair to refuse to put rice on a spoon. Chapter 250 250. Necromancer (3) The situation was sorted out faster than I thought. Ah I knew it. As expected, you are the Goddess. When I said that she was the spirit of the Hermian family who used necromancy, the ck-haired priestess face turned bright. She smiled as brightly as possible and sped her hands together as if praying, then spoke quickly. As if time could not be dyed here. I dont think we can enshrine a divine spirit in such a shabby ce, so Ill guide you to a site within the n. After saying that, she went on to recruit and lead what appeared to be members of the n. And as I moved along with her, I was able to hear this and that, albeit shallowly. Of course, the story is closer to the introduction than the main topic, so it doesnt have much value. The conditions for clearing the special task were attached to this n, so I roughly understood the background story ordingly. He touched my chin and raised the corners of my mouth. Things went better than expected. spirit. A deity served by old customs. The existence of this divine spirit was identified with death itself to them. Perhaps seeing that the Hermian n doesnt feel divine power, it doesnt seem like a real god Its fortunate that it doesnt exist. Thanks to that, it was very easy to im to be a divine spirit. It was worth it. A dark-haired woman called Miko, served by the n, called me a divine spirit. No one outside could deny that I was not a divine spirit. I just chew on my feelings inwardly as if I cant understand it as it is. DTsk tsk. Then, did you really not know that you could be treated as a divine spirit? nonsense. What do they mean by seeing you as a divine spirit? Of course, like Dam Chun-wu said, it was strange that he was really treated as a divine spirit. Still, the Earth-level challengers believed these things very well. At that, I couldnt help but smile bitterly and smack my lips. Should I say that I realized that it was spring only after the flowers withered? It was only now that I could feel how unstintingly trusted the Earth-level challengers were. To the point where I suddenly feel like I want to stop by the earth dimension. Come to think of it, its been quite a while since I havent heard from Earth. Recently, he has been obsessed with climbing the tower and has not been to Earth for a long time. In fact, there are not that many things you can get from Earth. However, it wouldnt be too bad to go get an S-ss hunters license while taking a short break. Of course, even if it was an S-ss hunter license, it wouldnt be very useful. Wouldnt it be meaningful to return to the original dimension after a long time. But it was only for a moment that I thought differently. God, Im here. This is where my n used to live. After walking quietly along the road following the guidance of the ck-haired shaman, we arrived at our destination. You have entered the shamanic realm < The Land of Those Who Serve Death >. Currently, the shamanic realm < The Land of Those Who Worship Death > is eroded by divine and demonic energy. Until the erosion by demonic energy is cleansed, the shamanic realm No one is exposed to the effect. Magic area. It was a special area that I had previously experienced when dealing with a challenger from the Earth dimension called Shaka Debira. However, it seemed that there was no separate effect attached to the sorcery area itself as it was then. It was worth it. This realm of witchcraft, which is said to be where the Hermian n lives, has been greatly distorted by demons. The condition is more serious than I thought. I slowly looked around with my eyes closed. ckened wooden buildings that have lost their vitality, rotten air that doesnt allow anyone to breathe, demons that eat away at everything alive, etc There was an environment where people couldnt possibly live. After watching the scene quietly for a while, the ck-haired priestess looked sideways as if looking at her notice and continued. Originally, this ce wasnt this ugly either, but the ns home was ruined because of the ancient divine apostle. She said that, looking at her like a child who had done something wrong, but it didnt matter. What really matters is none other than the apostle of the ancient deity that spilled from her lips. I opened my eyes wide at him, and soon I was able to notice one thing. Exactly You seem to know a lot about the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead. This ck-haired priestess knew about the apostle of the ancient deity. Its also more detailed than you think. If the divine spirit pleases me with grace and purifies the earth, I will not forget this grace. Because of that, the motivation for why they had to help them was even more solidified. A person who knows in detail about the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead The opportunity to acquire information so easily wonte easily. At that, I nced away and looked at the faces of the corpse magicians standing behind the ck-haired priestess. Even if the ck-haired shaman is like that, no one else believes me. Boundaries, denial, anger, doubts, worries, etc Numerous negative emotions were concentrated there like a storm. Even though I imed to be a divine spirit, it meant that only one ck-haired shaman really thought of me as a divine spirit. Probably, the special task would not be sessful if it continued like this. The condition for clearing the special task is approval from the Hermian n. It wasnt like the recognition of one ck-haired priestess. Currently, the rewards of special assignments cannot be ignored. Not only can you know where the apostles who serve the god of despair, fall, and madness are, but all kinds of trials rewards are calibrated. Not even that. If you are recognized as a divine spirit by the Hermian n, your faith will build up, and ordingly, the effect of the mythic < The Last Savior > will be even stronger. No additional ie can be overlooked. Before the battle with the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead, it would be better to obtain everything that can be obtained. Therefore, it would be right to wash away the negative feelings of the Hermian n and be recognized. After making a reasonable decision, I immediately used divinity recement. It was probably because I thought that I could defeat the divinity and the demonic dwelling in the earth with my divinity. However, the situation was not so easily resolved. Quartz-. As soon as the divine power flowed down the shoes, a small spark rose from the ground. I could immediately figure out what this was. It was worth it. It was because the ck and dark divinity dwelling in the earth was slowly rising like a buoy. Divinity collides with divinity, and the transcendent divinity, which isparatively weak, is pushed aside. DIs this the divine power of an ancient deity with three ovepping deity names? Nothing can be solved by shedding divine power. After hearing Dam Chun-wus words, I agreed in my heart. Perhaps, to purify thend with a sh between the divines, it would consume a lot of time as well as consuming divine power. At least it should be enough to cover the whole earth with divine power. Like the divine realm used by deities. At that time, one of the powers he acquired earlier passed through his mind. Come to think of it, didnt I have the authority to use it in rtion to the realm? In the battle with the usurper, there was an ability obtained through power extraction. The special power Creation of Divine Realm (C+) is imprinted in the soul of user Han Seong-yoon. I definitely remember seeing that system message while using Necromancy. Of course, its a special power that Ive never used since I acquired it, but Its like Im losing money anyway, so it would be okay to find out what that ability is. I then focused my mind and then activated the power as if I was scattering divinity. Ill take this opportunity to find out what I can do with the sacred realms in as much detail as possible. The special power creation of sacred realm is activated. And Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith are consumed to create the divine realm < transcendence >. The next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The light of divinity that overwhelms everything arose as if it were enveloping the earth. *** A legendary prophecy has been handed down from generation to generation in the Hermian n, which worships the spirit of death. When the world prepares to face the end. A spirit will appear who will save all. Lucia Mimir. As the priestess who currently leads the Hermian n, she firmly believed in the prophecy. It was worth it. Like the previous shaman said, the world was preparing for the end at some point. The moment when one of the unsung geniuses who appeared like aet in the Hermian n fell into an affair and became one of the apostles of the ancient deity. The forest, which had clear energy, began to rot within a few days. Lucia was well aware of how hopeless that was. People groaned in pain and suffered from incurable diseases. There is no such thing as hope. The earth was rotting moment by moment, and before I knew it, the surroundings were filled with monsters. Even the living grounds of other ns were all devastated, and all the ancient corpses of the remnants of the mythical era were taken away. By an apostle serving the god of despair, fall, and madness, a traitor to the n. So I had to run away. The ns traitor possessed monstrous powers in Lucias eyes. Im guessing That traitor, who is said to be the best among necromancers, would be able to cause disaster by reviving the remnants of the mythical era. Because of that, Lucia led the Hermian n to escape. In a ce corrupted by the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead, all die meaninglessly. However, even that was attacked by monsters and almost failed. and thats when he appeared. Unless a young man passed by and did not rescue her and her n. How are you? A bright smile as if this level was nothing. And because of the aura like death itself felt from him, Lucia called him a divine spirit. In fact, it wasnt because she had any certainty. I just thought that because it has a foreign energy different from magical power in its heart and appeared when the end came like a prophecy. It was only clinging to hope that it would be good if it was a real divine spirit, even if it was just a tiny bit of hope. Youre quick to notice. Thats right. I am the spirit of the Hermian n. But did the earnest prayer even reach the sky? So, from now on, please rely on me. As she thought, he imed to be a divine spirit and even mentioned the name of his n. So I prayed. If this young man really is a divine being, I beg you to save his family. And with that thought in mind, he prayed earnestly, and a miracle happened. Right-. The special power creation of sacred realm is activated. A brilliant light that overwhelms everything arose as if to envelop the earth. Consumes a small amount of Contender Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create a divine realm < Transcendence >. The body and mind do not suffer from exhaustion in a ce where the divine realm < Transcendence > exists. With a divine realm < Transcendence > All growth rates increase by 100% in ces where there is a divine realm < Transcendence >, all types of injuries are quickly recovered . At that, Lucia widened her eyes covered by ck bandages. I feel like I can go on without stopping just by standing still. But the miracle did not end there. Kii-i-i-ing! Consumes a small amount of Contender Han Seong- yoon s divine power and faith to create the divine realm < Death >. Pirs of light in ck rose from the earth into the sky. The moment when the ckened earth regained its original color. The corpse masters, who until now had disyed the light of disbelief on their faces, were astonished. Its like you cant believe the current situation. Oh oh oh! What is this! Are all the scars on your body gone? The power of the ominous is fading? This is really ording to the prophecy Huh. Does that mean that the author is really the spirit of prophecy? However, the reaction full of surprise did notst long. It was worth it. Because where Han Seong-yoon was standing, various pirs of light began to burst out. In the blink of an eye, brilliant lights embroider the ns home. Consumer a small amount of the challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create a divine realm < immortal > . The gray color bes a solid wall that protects from an unknown death and encloses it. Consumes a small amount of challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create the divine realm < Yeokcheon >. All those who are not permitted to enter the divine realm < Yeokcheon > are prohibited from entering. < Yeokcheon >. As if the sky is refusing to follow the rules, it shimmers wildly and rejects the enemys invasion. Consumes a small amount of the challenger Han Seong-yoons sacred power and faith to create the divine realm < Eon-ryeong >. The divine realm < Eon-ryeong > reces the words of worship pouring down on challenger Han Seong-yoon into power. < Eon-ryeong >. The white light changes all words of faith that have faith into power. Consumes a small amount of Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create a divine realm < Harmony >. Consumes a small amount of Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create a divine realm < Rules >. Challenger Han Seong-yoon By consuming a small amount of divine power and faith, the divine realm < Observation > is created In addition, the moment when countless divine lights assist the transcendental divinity, the realm is established. None of those who had sent negative emotions so far could open their mouths. Except for just one person. AA AA AA! Lucia shed tears and crouched on the ground as if worshiping a god. Goddess! And that became the starting point. Its a divine spirit Its really a divine spirit Its said that a divine spirit has descended!! Oh oh oh oh! Goddess! The savior of the splendid prophecy that dwells in death! How could this happen! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! City god! Are you finally here! Everyone in ck clothes trembled at the overwhelming power and all crouched down. Nearly a thousand people crouched and worshiped Han Seong-yoon. Also very intense. And . Han Seong-yoon, who saw that, smiled a little as he looked at the empty space. Achievement Creation of Sacred Realm has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. Special authority Creation of Sacred Realm (C+) is graded as Sacred Realm] It grows with Realm Creation (B+). Its nothing else I have learned some of the tales that will be the foundation. A new myth will be created when additionally obtained. He felt the joy of being able to acquire a new myth sooner orter. Chapter 251 251. Necromancer (4) After building the sacred realm and driving out the divine and demonic spirits that encroached on the earth. The contaminatednd has been restored to its original state, so I will be alone for a while. I immediately moved to a shabby barracks worshiped by the members of the Hermian n. It was worth it. All the tales needed to create a myth have been gathered. It wouldnt be meaningful to try to be greatly worshiped any longer. Its going to be annoying if I show more than this, so Id better do it in moderation. The moment he sent the others out, saying he wanted to be alone here for a while. Immediately, sitting on the bed in the barracks, I saw the system message that popped into my field of vision. Before I knew it, a system message appeared in front of me saying that I had cleared a special task. The Hermian n worships you intensely. Congrattions. You havepleted the special task Savior of the n. Soon, you will learn about the apostle who serves the god of despair, fall, and madness. Floor 21. Additional settlement will be made for all types of breakthrough rewards in personal trials. After reading all the system messages, I smiled. Even if he didnt acquire the information right away, he was soon able to obtain information about the apostle serving the ancient deity. Now, the important thing in the trial process is the situation in which everything is gathered. In addition, I was able to get the advantage of additional settlement for all the rewards obtained by clearing the 21st floor individual trials. Even that is not the only benefit. With Shinhwa < The Last Savior >, I was able to greatly enhance my divine power, and as an achievement reward, the creation of the divine realm also increased from C+ grade to B+ grade. He struggled in his own way and earned a decent ie. And above all, I was able to create my own realm for the first time Divine realm. After creating the realm often used by deities, I felt new. It was worth it. Until now, I had always invaded other peoples territory, let alone created it. I personally dealt with the divine realm, but the feeling is different from seeing it. It was fun. Depending on the type of divinity, different area effects could be added, and the power of other divinities dwelling in the earth could be driven away. There are probably few powers that are as good as this for the defense battle. However, the downside is also a definite strength. But the sacred realm I use is likely to be easily destroyed. Should I say the difference in proficiency in the divine realm? Perhaps, if the sacred realm is scratched, it will break immediately. To that extent, my divinity realm was fragile. Even I couldnt attach the desired effect to my holy realm like other holy realms. You can only paste each unique effect ording to the type of divinity. Certainly, its not an authority that can be used in battle right now. And the consumption of divine power was greater than expected. Perhaps it would be ambiguous to use it in a battle against a strong enemy. At most, itll be enough to offset the effects of other divine realms in actualbat. Later on, Ill have to acquire skills or authority rted to the realm. If you go to the waiting room on the 22nd floor, it would be okay to synthesize area-type skills separately. As I was thinking that, I suddenly felt a presence at the entrance of the tent. Its not different Spirit. My name is Lucia Mimir. Im sorry, but I have something to tell you. Can I see the god? It is a visit from the ck-haired priestess who leads the Hermian n. Even if its not too long, I was going to ask about the apostle of the ancient deity . I was satisfied with that and immediately allowed her toe in. Please. And soon, Lucia wearing a ck eye patch appeared at the entrance of the tent. I apologize for disturbing the Divine Spirits rest. I stopped by because I have something to tell you. She immediately bowed her head in adoration and sat down rather modestly. To be honest, I just want to tell you to befortable with it. So I brushed off her attitude and continued. no. Even so, I had something to say. I can say that I heard it just in time. Are you going to talk? Ancient deity. And I would like to know about the apostles serving the ancient deities. It is the cause that polluted thisnd. . Upon hearing that, Lucia flinched as if she was slightly surprised, then nodded and answered. okay. Shinryeongnim also thinks the same about it Then, I think the story to tell Shinryeongnim will mesh. Because what I have to say to the Holy Spirit is also about the ancient Godhead and the apostles who serve it. Before that, I apologize in advance for my negligence. Are you inconsiderate? When he questioned him, Lucia immediately lowered her head as if she had no face and opened her mouth. It is indeed an unfortunate story And then. An apostle serving an ancient deity who scatters tainted power. next moment. He is a necromancer who was once called an unparalleled genius in the Hermian n. Hearing that, I couldnt help but open my eyes wide. *** An apostle serving the god of despair, fall and madness. The moment he heard that he was actually a genius necromancer from the Hermian n. He seemed to know why the tower had saved the Hermian n with something like a special task. If you look at it as a game, this was like a chain quest. Perhaps the tower gave a special task to inform the information about it implicitly? But that spection was short-lived. Lucia said that the apostle serving the ancient deity was actually a necromancer from the n Then, she wondered why the ns necromancer served the ancient deity. After thinking about it for a while, I came up with a simple answer. An apostle of the ancient deity. Is he like a traitor to the n? Thats right. My family once received a prophecy from a shaman from the past. Perhaps the world is preparing for the end. And then the spirit of death will appear and save the world from the end, the predecessors said so. Is that so. Only then did I understand the situation at least roughly. So at that time, as soon as he saw me, he said it was a divine spirit. prophecy. I dont know how I read the future, but a prophecy wasing down to the Hermian n. I wasnt surprised. Because even the believer of proof could show the future by reading thew of causality. Perhaps it wasnt a foresight equal to that of a godhead, but he was able to tell the future albeit clumsily. Its fun. Are there still so many interesting forces in the world? My eyes twinkled at the fact that he had the power to read the future even though he was not a god. Perhaps, while climbing the tower, I might gain a skill or power to see the future. But it was not the right time to pay attention. Then I barely regained my expressionless expression and immediately asked a question. Then do you know where the traitor is? yes. He is currently at the edge of the Tainted Lands. In a ce that was once used as an altar by our n. Do you know the purpose of going there? no. But I am guessing. Perhaps the traitor intends to fulfill the ns wishes. He was usually interested in the wishes of his n. Its a wish. Its simple. There are what might be called the remains of spirit-like beings. They are just indigenous spirits. Indigenous spirit As I tried to think about what the native spirit was, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rang out. -joy. Some native deity or something simr to you. Even this ck-haired priestess doesnt know all the details about the divine power. Dam Chun-wu, who had been quietly listening to the story so far, exined it as if it were more detailed. DIndigenous deities are pseudo deities subordinate to a certain region. If you look at it closely, you can say its like a manager. They are all false deities. He said that the native deity is a false deity subordinated to a certain area, like a manager subordinated to a tower. In that case, a native deity was nothing more than a quasi-god with divinity. It means that even if it is not a true godhead, it can bepared to a clumsy godhead. It was only then that he was able to find out what the necromancer, the apostle of the ancient godhead, was aiming for. So what? At that, I frowned and looked at Lucia, and soon she bit her lip and nodded. Perhaps it is as the Divine Spirit thinks. The desire of the Hermian n, which handles corpses, was obvious. You put a n altar where the remains of a native deity are? This means that the Hermian n was interested in reviving the native spirits. In addition, he said that the necromancer, an apostle serving an ancient deity, was originally interested in wishes. Combining puzzle-like hints can lead to such an answer. Karnar Sagsis. He seeks to resurrect native spirits from the age of mythology into the undead. By borrowing the power of an ancient deity that I dont even know what it is. In this personal trial on the 21st floor, I have to deal with a number of fake deities. *** Karnar Sagsis. After hearing about an apostle of an ancient deity trying to revive a native deity. I immediately left the ce where the Hermians were and headed to the ce where the remains of the native spirits were found. Of course, every time I got closer to the ce where Karnar Sagsis was, the demonic energy became thicker and the divinity became more soggy. It didnt bother me too much. I can just ignore this level of contamination. Magic that floats in the air can be turned into magic, and divinity can also be removed with my divine power. So there was no way to stop the movement. I continued to move, maximizing my mobility by utilizing the steel wings and even the wind spirits boots. But even so, the nervousness doesnt go away. I have to go faster than now. This is not the time to waste time. If what Lucia said was correct, I could say that I am currently in a crisis more than I thought. It was worth it. Even if its a fake god, strictly speaking, its a being with divinity. But to have to deal with many of them Despair, fall, and the apostle who serves the god of madness are difficult to face, but the difficulty has increased several times. DIts really crazy. Dam Chun-wu also expressed his dissatisfaction while walking on the road. DEven if an ancient deity doesnt directly use its hands, its not enough to deal with an official apostle, and its not enough to revive the native spirits It seems that having to deal with the indigenous spirits bothers me quite a bit. And it was no different for me. My throat was dry at the thought that I was on my way to death in the blink of an eye. But still, I didnt stop moving forward. Its a battle that I would have to face someday anyway. Even if it wasnt so,tely I didnt feel like I was risking my life. It was said that there was something that could be called a wall when ites to bing stronger. Originally, as a challenger to climb the tower, Hana breaks down the wall of growth. It is to clear the ordeal by risking ones own life. So, even though I felt nervous, I didnt feel rejected. Breaking the dead line with all your might is something you have to do at some point. And that was when I made up my mind and moved for a few minutes. Before I knew it, I was able to find a ck sphere made of y-like divinity, and I knew that this was the ce where Karnar Sagsis was. Are they hiding in the sacred realm? Perhaps Karnar Sagsis is there. And there are also the remains of native spirits that may have survived. But even so, it doesnt change that you have to go in. After thinking that, I immediately concentrated my thoughts on the sword and raised the sword. The authority skill Sword Spirit Strength  is strongly activated. Shortly thereafter, the twin swords were filled with energy like starlight. The skill Pacheon졯 is activated. The limit on what can be broken is gone. Right after activating the Pacheon skill, he fell straight into a holy sphere like mud and swung his sword as if he were thrusting it down. Clink-! Breaking Heaven Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the grade grows to S-ss (28211/50000). And at the same time, the outer surface of the y-like sacred sphere shattered and the passage opened. oh oh oh! The moment I quickly passed through the passage through which the eerie energy flowed out. I have entered the divine realm < obsession in despair >. It is a graveyard with numerous tombstones and a muddy divinity. Its also very big. Even [ Wee. ] In the center of the ck Graveyard, there was a ck-haired man wearing bony essories. [ The Hound from the Tower. ] There is nothing to look at very long. The dark-haired man wearing the bone ornaments felt a great divinity. Divinity that could possibly be on the same level as Godhead. To put it simply, it was like this. [I am an apostle who serves the god of despair, fall, and madness. Karnar Sagsis. ] an apostle of the ancient deity. [This is the name of the person who will kill you from now on.] As you guessed, this dark-haired man really had the power of a god. I encountered a strong opponent that I could not defeat as a user. The skill Indomitable Will is activated. And The special spell activation conditions have been met. Exclusive spell < Despise the Strong (ǿҕ) > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. Recently, I realized that buffs exclusive to strong enemies, which I had never seen before, were activated one after another. Now I really have to risk my life. Chapter 252 252. Necromancer (5) Karnar Sagsis. A dark-haired man shining with ck divinity shes his eyes. A wave of divinity that had never been experienced before covered the whole body. The god of despair, fall and madness. Among the ancient gods, the power that was treated as a star was welling up from Karnar. I was able to notice it right away through the skill Indomitable Will and the exclusive spell < Contempt for the Strong >. That the dark-haired man in front of him was a difficult opponent to guarantee victory. The moment he tried to activate the apotheosis right away, frowning at him. Due to the Divine Realm < Obsession in Despair >, each other bes unable to fight for 10 minutes. What is this again Then, reading the system message that popped into my field of vision, Iughed. It was worth it. Being incapable of fighting each other for 10 minutes as if they were just trying to pass the time without fighting. I was dumbfounded by that, so I looked at Karnar, and he said with a smirk. [Dont hasten death so much. challenger. There must be something you want to ask each other. ] There are things I want to ask each other. well. I dont think there is anything like that. [ Phuh! Interesting. Do you say that even though you know that the tower is not friendly to you? ] . [ What. dont be too nervous Its the same for both of us that we cant do anything for 10 minutes anyway. I just want to tell you about the tower. favor paper. ] Bullshit. I said to him with a cold look in my eyes. A favor? A guy who betrays his own n is in a position to make a fuss about a goodwill? Karnar Sagsis was a traitor to the necromancer n. But what would you tell someone as a favor to a traitor? Everyone could tell that it was strange even at first nce. He was silent for a moment to see if the other person knew about it, and then opened his mouth as if to make an excuse. [ okay. challenger. As you said, I betrayed my n. I got an indelible shame. But I dont regret it. ] And. [Because the end of this world was originally decided by the tower. ] After hearing Karnars words, I couldnt help but frown. To think that the end has been decided by the tower? It was worth it. Things like the internal affairs of the end of the world dont bother me too much. Ive seen some worlds about toe to an end so far. However, if the end was caused by the tower, I couldnt help but be nervous. The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects that there is no lie in the opponents words. Even more so if it was confirmed that it was not a lie with the Fire Dragons Eye skill. It was only for a moment that he frowned at him. Did you still like the will to talk? Karnar immediately began to answer my question. [Thats a stupid question. challenger. I bet you know. What the Tower wants is the exclusion of all divinities. If so, think about the aftermath. ] Karnar Sagsis rattled his bony ornaments and smirked arsenically. [Originally, thisnd was protected by indigenous spirits. They were preventing all disasters like natural disasters. ] I cant believe that [You must have heard the story from the n, so you understand, right? okay. There are now no indigenous spirits left in thisnd. ] . [I lost everything that was protected by the godhead. The poption on this is dwindling. Extinction is right around the corner. Do you know who this is for? ] more or less. Death of native spirits. It means that the tower was involved in that. Should I say that it seems like gears are meshing together? Is it because the tower drove the native spirits to their deaths, and because of that, this dimension was driven to the brink of destruction? The story progressed, at least to an understandable extent. [ okay! Because of that rotten tower, all the native spirits on this are dead! Because of that, the n longed for the resurrection of the native spirits! ] Karnars face contorts hideously with anger. [In the ce where the native spirits disappeared, the Hermian n tried to revive them! Even if its a monster without reason! Thats how I tried to avoid the end! ] But that was short-lived. [ but none of that worked. There was no necromancer that could bring the native spirits to life. Even I, the genius of the n, felt the same way. ] He giggled as if he was dumbfounded and said with twisted emotions on his face. [Thats why I thought in anger at my helplessness! If the world is going to be destroyed anyway, Id rather dedicate this ce to an ancient deity and get revenge on the tower! And there was someone who answered that wish! ] Is that the god of despair, fall, and madness? [ Thats the correct answer! Yes, I decided to take revenge even at the cost of everything! Even if it brings the nned end forward! ] . I was insane. Its the same with getting the power to avenge the tower in exchange for giving the world It was absurd to ruthlessly throw away things that were supposed to be protected because you couldnt protect them. DIts been a while since Ive seen a real bastard madman. Even Dam Chun-wu, who had been quiet until now, added a word. I quietly nodded my head in agreement and thought for a moment. Why did Karnar go so far as to tell me this while designating each other incapable ofbat? However, there was no way I could know just by thinking about it, so I looked him in the face and asked him a question. I know for sure that you hate the tower, but why are you telling me that? and. [Thats a story with nothing to ask. challenger. Because I have something to offer you. ] next moment. [Are you thinking of stopping climbing the tower and bing one of my followers? ] Karnar said that with a greedy grin. *** The duration of the inability to fight due to the Divine Realm < Obsession in Despair > remains for 1 minute. A follower? Seeing Karnars greedy smile, I blinked and asked again. It was worth it. Even if he possesses divine status, he would ask a subject who is only an apostle to be a member of his household. It was absurd to think that he would agree to it, regardless of whether it was possible. However, Karnar, unaware of such thoughts, nodded in satisfaction and said, [ Yes. challenger. It can be said that it is a mutually beneficial condition. It would be better for you toe under me than to believe in a tower that is not the same. ] If you talk bullshit so seriously, Im in trouble too [Its not bullshit. I would have personally informed you. How selfish and self-righteous the tower is. It is not a reliable entity. ] Then you are a reliable being. [At leastpared to the tower, wouldnt it? Of course, my main god seems to hate you. what. This much would be eptable as his apostle. ] . [Ah, if you are afraid of the Towers sanctions, dont worry. I have the power to make it go away. ] I dont need it. At this point, I dont even want to talk anymore. At that, I widened my eyes and then grabbed the twin swords in my hand. Then, looking at Karnar, I spat out words filled with life. Because I had no intention of epting a proposal from someone like you from the beginning anyway. and. Time ends. The continuation of the inability to fight due to the divine realm < Obsession in Despair > ends. Then, as soon as the restriction on inability to fight was lifted, Karnar clicked his tongue slightly and twisted the corners of his mouth. [ Sorry. Still, I thought there was a chance that if I persuaded him to this extent, he woulde over. I cant help it. ] As if he was genuinely sorry. But that was only for a moment. Karnar also immediately changed his face color as if he had noticed that there was no room for persuasion. Now, only a cold murderous intent was on his face. [If you are going to live as a tower hound, die here. challenger. Then die and be my servant. ] And at that moment, a strange thing happened. [Wake up. ] Coo-gu-goo-! The moment the ground surface of the ck Cemetery shuddered and the soil erupted. As it was, three monsters with decayed flesh appeared in the ck Cemetery. Its also very huge. Kroaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-! Kissyiyiit! Oh oh oh oh oh! The native deity, the dragon who ruled the vegetation , gazes at you without will. The native deity, the snake that tried to devour the mountain, gazes at you without will. I look at you without this will. And as soon as I heard the ensuing howling, a message popped into my sight. When I saw it, I knew right away. That these three monsters in front of me now possess divinity. Even a divinity so thick that it appears as a system message. Even if it is a fake godhead without will, a godhead is a godhead. Therefore, the meaning of this situation was simple. Now, this ce is no different from a ce where there are three gods, and this is a level where even superhumans can die. In fact, a bloody blow flowed in the atmosphere that had spread around me in a moment, and I applied it as if I was suppressing my body. To think that his body would be shaken this far even though all of his ability levels were over a few hundred It was more than he could have imagined. At least, if I hadnt raised my rank to < Possibility of Transcendence >, I could have been crawling on the floor. As I clicked my tongue, another system message popped up in my field of vision. The 2nd-ss apostle Karnar Sagsisughs at you. [Challenger. Its all your choice, dont regret it. Even though I gave you a chance to live, its you who didnt ept it. ] Before I knew it, Karnar was looking at me with a deep smile as if looking down on me. I have no regrets. But even so, I didnt distort my face. The divine power deification is activated. It bes possible to exercise divine power ording to thetent divinity. Its Unryeong > It was justified. Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +377. Special buff < Unbreakable will, even if it cannot be defeated >, is activated. When facing enemies who cannot win, all The efficiency of each type of skill and authority increases by 400%. Although I recently had a series of overwhelming victories [I just have to kill all of you anyway, right? ] Originally, the more unreasonable I was, the stronger I could be. Chapter 253 253. Heirloom Banjo (1) Myth < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +377. Special buff < Unbreakable will, even if I cannot win > is activated. I can win The efficiency of all types of skills and powers increases by 400% when dealing with enemies that do not exist. A change came as soon as the Shinhwa < Reversal Hero > was activated after a long time. Its nothing else Even if its not the case, the special spell < Despise the Strong > has amplified the stats that exceeded four digits. Also very intense. The special power Hunger for battle is activated. All skill proficiency increases by 300% until the end of the battle. It was worth it. In fact, through various rewards, the normal stats should have reached 500. It was obvious what it would be like if I added all stats +337 with the mythical < Reversal Hero > and doubled it with the exclusive spell < Contempt for the Strong >. This is The feeling of being able to destroy everything in front of you. I instinctively noticed that I had reached a lofty ce that no mere human body could reach. In fact, all of his stats reached a value of about 2000 but he couldnt stand the sudden surge of power and his body was about to creak. Is this the level of all 2000 stats At this point, now its enough to be able to deal with at least one ridiculous god with physical ability. And its not just the abilities that have gotten stronger. There was another power that really rose like crazy. Right away Skills can now be considered six times stronger than before. The increase in skill efficiency and the increase in power efficiency were the same. In fact, the skill is six times stronger. It can be seen that the Authority has also be about 5 times stronger, which is not a small number. Amplification of truly overwhelming power. However, there was no time to feel the pleasure of the increased power in the blink of an eye. The fact that his strength has risen this much means that only when his strength goes up like this will he be on par with his enemies. You can say that you are standing on the starting line. Even DThe rate of increase in stats seems crazy. Still cant afford to rx. Native deities are more powerful than any other deity in thisnd. Regarding this, Dam Chun-wu also said that he could not be so optimistic. DThe myth you possess is to have the dignity to stand against the opponents strength. So, this is just a warm-up at best. and. DThe real thing will start now. As soon as he finished speaking, Karnars bone staff moved. He quickly condensed divinity into his staff and built a joyous luminary. As if he had only been waiting for this moment. The 2nd-ss apostle Karnar Sagsis reveals his murderous intent with excitement. [Look! challenger! This is the power of the High One and mine! I I became a god who handles gods by giving this world as a price! ] Karnar shed his eyes full of soggy heat. [Unlike the nts in the greenhouse like you, which have been cherished by TOP so far! ] His eyes, voiced with emotion, were unfocused, as if looking out of sight. The eyes that look at me like a mediocre wall that I can ovee. I didnt like that gaze that looked at me as if it was insignificant. Whats more [ A flower in a greenhouse that has been cultivated as a treasure? ] I couldnt admit that Top had pampered me. It was worth it. After entering this tower, it was a series of crises that drove me to the brink of death. So I guess Ill have to refute that nonsense. [ Bullshit. ] Of course [The skill Unextinguished Mortal me is strongly activated.] Not just a verbal rebuttal, but a rebuttal apanied by overwhelming force. *** Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The moment when the ck me engulfed everything and inted its size in an instant. The increased magic power in the body began to be consumed noticeably due to the increase in magic ability. Should we say that firepower is a penalty equal to firepower? Fuel economy, which eats up 10% of the horsepower in the body per second, was a huge burden regardless of the amount of horsepower. But I can handle this now. At least for now, the consumption of mana in the body waspletely eliminated. The skill Punishment(P) is activated. All stats increase by +7 during the active time of the skill. Magic power is never consumed during the active time of the skill. The power of the dragon is on you. It dwells on and increases magic stats by 100%. Since Karnar Sagsis is dealing with magic, the triggering conditions for the punishment skill were satisfied. With this, the burden of mana consumption has now been relieved. The moment I thought that at this point, I could turn the tide of the war to some extent. Suddenly, beyond where the ck sparks had been fired, I felt a divinity like a storm. The native deity, the dragon that ruled the vegetation, activates the divine < breath >. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the blink of an eye, the blue sparks shot out and swayed violently as they collided with the ck mes. It was none other than the dragon, one of the indigenous deities Karnar had revived, let out a breath of me as if to protect him. Its also quite powerful. The firepower is strong enough to push the unquenchable mortal me? The blue me that the dragon shot out was pushing away the ck me. Until now, he had never been pushed back in a firepower battle. The unextinguished mortal me, a skillparable to the holy light, was pushed aside. It took a while to open my eyes wide and be astonished at him. Boss skill Blood Sphere is strongly activated. The speed at which blood is generated by consuming mana is greatly increased. Skill Seeker of Fresh Blood is strongly activated. Your power of dominance will greatly increase. Then, I immediately activated the power of the Bloodthirsty Deep Gong and activated the Blood Seeker skill. It is trying to make up for the difference in firepower by adding momentum to the ck me with arge amount of blood. If we go on like this anyway, the other side will seize the victory. Should I close the firepower gap as much as possible!? However, the situation did not break out so smoothly. The moment he tried to increase the momentum of the ck me with a storm made of fresh blood. Chii-i-i-ing! Suddenly, not only the storm of blood, but also the ck mes were twisted in space and absorbed somewhere. The native deity, the snake that tried to devour the mountain, activates the divine < Gourt >. As soon as I turned my head to him, I immediately knew where the power was absorbed. It was worth it. A huge white snake that had moved to the corner of the cemetery before I knew it was opening its mouth wide. There, the blood and ck mes that were generated inrge quantities were absorbed as if they were shrinking. Its also very neat. shit! It was a disaster. I immediately frowned and quickly tried to evade the Dragon Breath . That would be too. Due to the divine realm < Obsession in Despair >, the exclusive effect Inheritance is applied.] Twist your body like a miracle and get out of the dragon breaths trajectory. As if he knew that, the trajectory of the dragon breath was bent by the exclusive effect of the divine realm. Even if you apply skills or powers, it is difficult to get out of this situation. In the end, inevitably, I had to be hit directly by the dragon breath. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! [!! ] The skin burns with a crackling sound, and the golden divinity surrounding the body shakes greatly. noticed right away That this dragon breath is one of the divine powers that disrupts the power of the godhead. It was a time when he endured the pain of burning his skin and defended as much as possible from the disturbance of his divinity. The divine power in the heart was consumed, and the skin, burnt ck like ashes, began to return to its original state. The power skill, Ashen Blood is activated. Regenerative power increases ording to the amount of holy power consumed. Body regenerative power increases by 400% and immunity to all non-regenerative abilities It activated and moved quickly through the mes. The skill Combat eleration is activated. The skill Focus on Battle is activated The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated The skill Amplification of Thought is activated And. Boss skill skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 80%. Current skill ovep progress C [8] elerate your body to the limit as it is, shake off the mes, and Leaped on the dragon. fault! Is it because of the speed beyond imagination? Despite theck of will, the dragon, whose flesh had rotted, flinched and took a quick breath. And then, as if he would no longer allow me to approach, he let out a breath of me again. But nice! I had predicted that the dragon would react like this before, and even this was my goal for a reversal. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. Poof-! After all, these native deities are not living beings, each acting with a will. This means that the death of Karnar will soon lead to the suspension of the activities of the native deities Then there is no need to defeat the enemies in turn. Mo or do! Karnar Sagsis. The battle will be victorious if you deal with this apostle who is currently controlling the local deities by reviving them. Its not an unlikely story if you can look away for a moment from the obstacles of indigenous deities. Actually [This is ridiculous! ] Karnar was also startled and astonished as if he hadnt expected it toe out like this. It was worth it. An attempt that could cost you your life if you fail. If it wasnt for the power to transcend space within the same amount of time, there wouldnt have been any attempt, let alone sess. However, I had the power of Shunbo that allowed me to move at the same speed as teleportation. I have to finish this quickly! However, once you use it, the cooldown goes to 10 minutes. This means that it may be difficult to use again in this battle. In response, I immediately prepared tond at the ce where Karnar was, and activated skills and powers on my twin swords to put my strength into it. very strong too. The authority skill, Sword Ki Seong Gang  is strongly activated. In the blink of an eye, sword power flowed proudly through the two swords. The skill Destroy Heaven is activated. There is no limit to what can be broken. The more magic power is consumed, the more skills that can break anything. Activate True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Blood (C+) > Activate True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Intention (B+) > Activate the < Imprint Skill: Divinity Amplification (B+) > of the True Blood Demon Sword Even the skills inherent in the Blood Demon Sword were activated without missing a single one. But it still wasnt perfect. In response, I activated an additional power skill. A power skill that can be said to be fraudulent in fact that multiplies the actual attack power. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Spirit Source Demonic Sword, Double is activated. Consumes holy power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [6] times. And Win It was the moment when he showed off his swordsmanship, which he had been steadily training for, confident in victory. Oh oh oh oh oh-!! The native deity, the mountain giant who sheltered the spirits, satisfies the conditions and activates the divine < Oblivion >. As soon as the giant over there with vegetation growing on its body cried out, goose bumps ran down its spine. It was worth it. The feeling of fear on the verge of death, which he had experienced numerous times while climbing the tower, was running down his spine like a snakes tongue. I immediately freaked out and instinctively invoked divine authority. Use Divinity < Immortality > Ignores non-regeneration and instant death judgments. < Immortality >. A divinity that can be treated without any kind of instant death judgment instantly wrapped around the body but was my intuition wrong? Contrary to what I instinctively assumed, the goose bumps running down my spine did not disappear. No, on the contrary, it became stronger than before, and that ominous premonition became reality in less than a second. Divine < Oblivion > fulfills the conditions and deletes the existence of challenger Seongyoon Han by interfering with the causality rate. Divine < Oblivion > is used, creating a cooldown of 10 years. Divine < Oblivion > cooldown cannot be reset with any effect. The inevitable death, like < destruction > of the usurpers divinity experienced in the trials on the 18th floor, tightens the neck. [ ah. ] Then, after that death, everything in my field of vision became blurry. How could he really die so absurdly? At the same time he felt absurd, his vision waspletely cked out. And how many seconds did he spend with only darkness in sight? Before I knew it, I started to hear the regr ticking of a clock ticking in my ears. Tick tock! Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect return by death is activated. Completely returns the worlds time to 10 minutes ago from the time life was lost. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) A cooldown of 30 days is created for the exclusive effect Return to Death. And only then did I realize. Damn it What it means to deal with the native deities and the apostles of the ancient deities all at once. Aside from the usurper, there was an instant kill machine that could pretend that the divinity < immortality > was not there? Its not different Im going crazy. With this, one of thest means of survival is now gone. In the worst form that I hadnt even thought of. Chapter 254 254. Hwangwang Banjo (2) Tick tock tock! Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect return by death is activated. Completely returns the world time to 10 minutes ago from the time life was lost. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) A cooldown of 30 days is created for the exclusive effect return by death. I watched the world go back to normal while listening to the sound of the clocks second hand moving. In the space made up of graveyards, time was returning to the world from 10 minutes ago. Its also very neat. shit. In the process, my blurred body regained its original color as if it had been erased with an eraser by the divine < Oblivion >. But I couldnt be more pleased with him. That would be the case The situation was properly twisted once. Because with this, I can no longer turn back time. Of course, there were still survival skills such as thest resistance skill, but it was difficult to guess when even these would be fatally injured and consumed. I dont know how far I can go against the native deities and the apostles who serve the ancient deities. The fortunate thing is that there is no need to consider < Oblivion >, the divinity over there. Just like the usurper in the trial on the 18th floor used divinity < Destruction > once and couldnt use it anymore. Even the native deity, the mountain giant who protected the spirits, would no longer be able to use the sacred < Oblivion > against me. It even seemed that this divine power would activate only when conditions were met. However, it is only that the possibility of an instant death has disappeared, and the situation is no different from reaching the worst. Now I wont be able to attack Karnar with something like Shunbo. It was worth it. In the battle before the return, I showed off many of the paddles I had at hand. Skills, authority, or even skills outside the system area were used to some extent. So, if there is an idea on the other side, we wille up with a countermeasure. I listened to the ticking of the second hand on the clock and shook my head as much as I could. Lets think. what to do to win How can I defeat the indigenous deities? Now, there is not much time left until the battle restarts. It was right to finish thinking as much as possible before that. That will increase your odds of winning even a little bit. Suddenly, as I was racking my brain like that, the power of creating the divine realm came to mind. Come to think of it, wouldnt the sacred realm be able to overwrite the same divine realm? The divine realm < obsession in despair > is probably helping to revive the native deities. Then, I thought about overwriting Karnars sacred realm with my holy realm or erasing it altogether. But that was soon dismissed. It was worth it. There is also a reason why it is not certain that the native deities will return to death if this sacred realm is broken. More than anything else, it reminded me of the eerie story Dam Chun-wu had told me before. I have encountered the devils apostle before. I can roughly say this about the power he possesses. To the extent of destroying a at the end of a fierce battle. It can be said that this is no different from the end of the world. Of course, if I defeat the enemies and go back to the tower, thats the end but I couldnt kill those who were living far away here, and those who werent fakes reproduced by the tower. It definitely crosses the line. Partial beliefs have been established. Thepletion level of the Holy Relics in the Mirror of Faith (SSS+) increases by +10% when the conditions are met. And the future I saw before in < Proof Field > seemed to have lost its brakes by repeating such things. I know what will happen, but I have no intention of making the same mistake. Havinge to that conclusion, I thought differently. It might be better to deal with the enemy within this sacred realm. Rather than destroying the sacred realm uselessly with a useless gamble by consuming divine power it would be better to choose the path of killing all the native deities. The moment he made up his mind. Color was added to the gray world, and Karnar was startled. [ her! Its time maniption. You had insane powers beyond your imagination. ] As the usurper recognized the return in the 18th floor ordeal, Karnar was no different. He patted the nape of his neck with his hand and smiled bitterly. As if he was surprised because it was different from what he expected. [Is it true that the top didnt use it as a hunting dog for nothing? I never thought I would have the holy relic left by the god of time. ] But that was short-lived. [But I cant use that anymore. challenger. The attempt was good. Now its time to ept defeat. ] After saying that, Karnar immediately hardened his face and gathered the ck divinity in his hand. And along with the flow of the ck and thick divinity, the indigenous deities who settled throughout the cemetery howled. The dragon that ruled the vegetation, the snake that tried to devour the mountain, and the giant of the mountain that protected the spirits Even in the world 10 minutes ago, they were still alive. Kroaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-! Kissyiyiit! Oh oh oh oh oh! Crying that gives you chills despite having no willpower. The beings who once ruled as the spirits of thisnd attacked me, hoping for my death. At that, I smiled bitterly and gripped the twin swords tightly as if I couldnt help it. Guess-. [ shit. ] The battles that follow will be more difficult than any battles that have ever existed. *** Seeing the indigenous godsing from all over the cemetery, I immediately activated my skills. I used all the powers that I didnt use before returning. It was worth it. Now I dont know if I can survive even if I use all the cards I have. I cant hide the cards in hand anymore. At that moment, I was immersed in regret, and immediately froze the entire graveyard with divinity substitution. So-so-so-so-so! The authority Winter King is automatically activated when the conditions are met. All stats are amplified by +10%, and the user is not affected by cold at all. Of course, even if the stats exceeded the four digits were higher than the current state, it wouldnt mean much. Still, it would be better than no stat amplification. Even if the battle between the gods is the main force, if the basic specs are superior, the range of choices will widen. Afterpleting my spec up like that, I then activated an additional skill. Right [The skill Intangible Sword is activated.] It was an intangible sword, one of the martial arts rted to divinity obtained earlier. The power of this intangible sword itself can be said to be at a lower level than that of the spirit sword but the true value of this skill is that it can greatly increase the power it possesses as a god. So there was no need to dwell on power. The moment when about 10 swords that shed brilliant gold were created in the blink of an eye. The skill Intangible Sword is greatly affected by challenger Han Seong-yoons divinity. The skill Intangible Sword uses the basic activation ability Myth Ovep by the divinity < Transcendence >. The skill Intangible Sword has a certain amount When more are created, the newly activated ability Divine Intervention is used. I was able to obtain the exclusive effect of Myth ovep with the intangible sword with the divinity < Transcendence > added. Originally, because the myth was already activated, another myth could not be used. However, the story is different if you get the exclusive effect of myth ovep with the intangible sword skill. Its nothing else Myth < Last Savior > is activated. The effect of < Salvation > is activated. All stats are permanently increased by 6. < Savior > The effect of > is activated. There are currently 81919 followers, so the divine power is greatly enhanced. It is possible to write a myth with another power. Whoa! The divinity amplified by mythology gave the whole body a brilliant glow and put strength into deification. And that wasnt all. The strengthening of divine power is directly rted to the rise of all powers using divine power. So, now I was able to fully utilize the power skill that I had hidden. Kiyiyiing!! The power skill Starlight is activated and starlight containing divinity < death > is created. The starlight containing dark red divinity was wrapped in a film of divinity that was about to burst out. Soon, the moment when the starlight was shaken inside it like shaking a can of soda, and the explosiveness was greatly increased. Immediately, he shot down the starlight at the native deity, The Serpent That Tried to Devour the Mountain, approaching from the left. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! And at the same time, a dark red light was emitted as if the earth waspletely ground. The moment when a truly overwhelming force rushes in a straight line and devours everything in its path. The native deity in the form of a serpent opened its mouth and unleashed divine powers as before. The native deity The Serpent that Tried to Devour the Mountain activates the Divine < Gourt >. Gooooooooh! The space where the holy light passed was twisted as it was, and it tried to be absorbed into the gaping mouth as if it were shrinking. Unlike the unextinguished mortal me, the holy light did not adapt to the twisting of space. The starlight, imbued with dark red divinity, cut off the applied force of contraction and shattered the twisting space itself, sprinting forward as it was. very quickly too. The native deity Dragon who governed the vegetation activates the divine < breath >. Couldnt one of the indigenous deities be allowed to die again? The dragon, seeing the speed of the starlight, stopped moving and immediately responded by firing a dragon breath . In response, I immediately created arge amount of blood with the blood drill and created a ck me. The skill Unextinguished mortal me is strongly activated. While strengthening the power of the skill as if it were supported by divine power, the dragon breath was loaded with mes in the storm of blood. Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa! And in the meantime, the starlight fired in a straight trajectory announced the victory. Its nothing else The dark red light prated the body of the native deity, the snake that tried to devour the mountain. Since the holy light containing the divine < death > prated his body, the extent of what would happen was predetermined. Siyi III . The snake who tried to pick up the mountain indigenous God is released from a fatal status . System messages confirm that one of the other sides indigenous deities has disappeared. Now that the situation has improved a bit from 4:1 to 3:1 I couldnt help but be happy. I did it But that joy didntst long. The native deity Dragon Who Ruled the Vegetation activates Divine < Retaliation >. That should be the case Divinity < Retaliation > fulfills the conditions and retaliates against the challenger Han Seong-yoon appropriately. As a reward for the death of a colleague, Divine < Retaliation > inflicts incapacity on challenger Seongyoon Han for 7 minutes. The cost received from Divinity < Retaliation > cannot be reset by any effect. DIndigenous You said you had another divinity on the subject of divinity? This is because the other side used the hidden tile to restrain the whole body. [What is this again] As if the control of the body had disappeared, there was absolutely no strength in the body. He immediately used all the abnormal status canceling skills, but none of them worked. Even the exclusive effect of the worn-out watch of the regressor, Attack Nullification, was the same. As if I could never move for these seven minutes. And The native deity, the giant of the mountain who protected the spirits, greatly boosts the power . In that state, the giant of the mountain, who had protected the spirit, struck his body with his fists clenched tightly. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Now, it was meaningless even if there were basic defense skills with durability values over 2000. Being unterally hit by a fist without being able to blink at will. It was obvious what would happen if it was beaten by a giant, a native godhead well over 100m tall. Thats how it works. The skill Last Resistance is activated. Invalidates the fatal wound inflicted on you. All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills arepensated. The skill cooldown for one week . Time will be given. As if time is going back, the body regains its original state and all skills have been calibrated. But still, I couldnt move. Because the status ailments obtained with divine < Retribution > still havent been lifted. He tried to ovee the situation using all his abilities, but nothing meaningful came of it. [This is amazing] Then I heard Karnars deep admiration in my ears. [ I never thought I would take one of the three native deities. If I was unlucky, it might have been me who lost. ] Unlike before, there was a lot of approval in the voice. [ Challenger. You fought well, not like a tower dog. So be satisfied and die. ] But I didnt like it at all. In this situation, there is nothing to be gained by being acknowledged by the enemy. But, like it or not, the native godhead, the titan, raised his fist again, followed by a series of merciless blows. bang ! bang! bang ! In the midst of the restless blows, I felt my vision gradually blur as I was bleeding. Damn it Even the recovery of the gray blood was limited by the divine < retaliation >. So I had no choice but to drive myself to the brink of losing my mind. Due to the explosive increase in durability, Im at least holding out like this for now but anyway, the result has been decided. DBe alert! Hold on until 7 minutes have passed! Then you will definitely be victorious! Dam Chun-wus excited words no longer had the energy to answer. It was worth it. Now its to the point where I cant feel any sensation in my body. I gritted my teeth with a deep sense of defeat. Really dying like this in vain? I wanted to be stronger than anyone else and I didnt want to be oppressed by anyone. Its just that, but dying like this without even achieving that? Couldnt admit it. I thought that there must be a way to survive even with the slightest chance. However [He died.] Was there no miracle Contrary to his thoughts, the reality was cold. I was able to realize it by being sentenced to death with a short notification of a system message. It really means that you will die like this. I cant even think anymore and everything starts to turn ck. And that was the moment. [Satisfied condition.] [Satisfied the growth condition of the unique attribute Necromancy.] Has the earnest desire reached somewhere? The mastery of the unique property Necromancy has reached 100%. The grade of the unique property Necromancy has risen by one level.] Or is that something that has been umted so far exploded at the end of umtion? Challenger Han Seong-yoon. You have acquired the minimum qualifications to be reborn as a god . But one thing was certain. Thats right. that can be called a miracle happened. Current challenger Han Seong-yoon can obtain a temporary divine name through deification. That is also very impressive. Chapter 255 255. Retrofit (3) Karnar Sagsis looked ahead and frowned as if tired. [The tower really raised a crazy monster] It was well worth it. Even after being hit directly by so many holy powers, the challenger from the tower still couldnt stop breathing. Although thin and pale Han Seong-yoons heart was still beating. Against the bombardment-like punching of the native deity, The Mountain Giant who protected the spirits. [Why is the lifeline so tough even though they are being beaten one-sidedly? ] The native deities now in front of me were the deities who once ruled this. Its a fact that doesnt change even though Im carrying some penalties because I was revived without will. However, Han Seong-yoon not only achieved the same rank against the native deities, but also extinguished one of them. The meaning it had could never be taken lightly. Is it a level that is equivalent to a formal godhead who has lived for thousands of years for a hound raised by the tower? Instead of being tied to thend, the indigenous divinity and faith are greatly strengthened in thend. So, originally, it was right to die without any help if you deal with three native deities in the main camp. This means that if the amount umted as a godhead is not that great, then the official godhead will be no different. But Sungyoon Han was different. It seems that the power gap has been narrowed somehow with an unknown myth Even considering that, it is a different power. Even if the power was inted by matching myths or the activation conditions of the authority, it could never be left unattended. How can you be this strong against the strong? Considering that the level he had umted as a god was not very high, the source of his power could not be ignored. Thats why Karnar also acknowledged Han Seong-yoons power in the end. Unlike the other candidates whom TOP had nurtured, he said he was great. I just had to admit that. The tower is also bound by thew of cause and effect that it has created. If you think about it, it means that this guy has ovee such adversity to have this power. At the point when thew of causality was created to redeem the gods, the Tower could not escape thew of causality. Such is thew that binds all transcendent beings. If only the tower was an exception in the application conditions, the tower would not have been able to apply thew of cause and effect. It is said that there must be a cause to have a result Even though he was raised by the Tower, the challenger must have prepared the cause and effect to have this kind of power. Otherwise, it couldnt have been so insanely strong. At that, Karnar raised the corner of his mouth. [Still, I got a useful species besides the native godhead with this. ] Han Seong-yoon is about to die. What this meant was that Karnar would soon be able to use Han Sung-yoons corpse Considering Han Sung-yoons power, this was no small gain. Karnar looked at the ce where Han Seong-yoon was lying and licked his lips. Still, if I could get it as a species like this, it would have been better to get it alive. Han Seong-yoon, who was revived by necromantic magic, was certain to lose some of his former abilities. Myths and beliefs, as well as some powers or exclusive abilities, would have been the case. Reviving a deity that has already died is a miracle in itself, so it can be said that it is an unavoidable price. But I couldnt regret it forever. [Actually, I wanted to make her a living person, not a corpse, but I cant help it. ] Since Han Seong-yoon refused to appease them a long time ago, its time to do it his way. Karnar used his divine power to give instructions to the remaining native deities. Deal with Han Seong-yoon as quickly as possible. Before long, the force exerted on Han Seong-yoon increased, and soon it was found that the spark of his life was extinguished. Its nothing else The god of despair, fall, and madness is mad at the death of challenger Han Seong-yoon! Han Seong-yoon, who had been living tenaciously so far, was really dead. Now that he seems to have used up all of his regenerative abilities, hes probably really dead. At that, Karnar smiled incredulously. I never thought I would survive even with all the means I could use. It was worth it. It was not enough to turn back the worlds time, and he was the one who erased the fatal wounds inflicted on the body I had to feel ufortable. But I couldnt be bound by it forever. Suuuu-. Second-ss apostle Karnar Sagsis activates Divine < Obsession >. Second-ss Apostle Karnar Sagsis activates Divine < Ghost >. Second-ss Apostle Karnar Sagsis activates Divine < Maintenance >. Karnar held out his hand and simultaneously activated it as if mixing Divine Powers. Serving an ancient deity, the powers obtained at the cost of the end of this world overflowed greatly. The moment when the power of a chaotic being that can even revive a native deity dwells in him. In the blink of an eye, the overflowing power was shot at the ce where Han Seong-yoons corpse was. Whoa! [Wake up! Challenger from the Tower! Get a new life and be my servant! ] But [ . ] Despite the use of divine powers, the revival did not take ce. Even if it is a godhead that has lived for thousands of years, it should be revived right away For some reason, there was no reaction from Han Seong-yoons corpse. really nothing. [What else is this] You cant bring the dead back to life despite using divine powers? Karnar focused his energy on it, frowning, but that didnt change anything. no. Quite the opposite. Divinity and Magi were scattered in the air without being able to be used anywhere. As if using necromancy against living creatures And when he thought about it, Karnar was startled. [No way! ] It deserved it. Its nothing else Its because divinity like dark red mud was slowly flowing from Han Seong-yoons corpse. It is also in a form different from the divinity of Han Seong-yoon that we have seen so far. [This crazy! You said you had other resuscitation abilities besides those two? rot! ] At this, Karnar immediately freaked out and gave instructions to the native deities with the divinity in his hand. Just like before, kill that challenger who is persistently trying to survive. For the willless dead, the magicians instructions are an absolute indicator of action. In the blink of an eye, the giant of the mountain that protected the spirit and the snake that tried to devour the mountain headed for Han Seong-yoon. And Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Soon, the moment when the native deities tried topletely crush Han Seong-yoon. Suddenly, the divinity in the form of dark red mud that overflowed from Han Seong-yoons body exploded fiercely. At that, the native deities howled as they almost broke through the parts of their bodies that were in contact with the dark red mud. Also very intense. Chii-! oh oh oh oh oh oh! Ki-ki-shi-i-i-i-ik! The sound of skin sizzling and burning spreads, and at the same time, voices filled with pain reverberate throughout the cemetery. Despair, fall, and the god of madness reveal all sorts of negative emotions. It was worth it. It was because Han Seong-yoon, who had copsed without even moving, staggered and stood up from his seat. Instead of the brilliant golden divinity like before, he wore a divinity in the form of dark red mud. And only then did Karnar realize. The god of death quietly looks at Karnar Sagsis. Now, that thing in front of his eyes has be the same existence as death itself. *** My vision, which had been dark as if I had turned off the lights, was finally normal. It hurts as if my head would break. Is it because he died once, like the words printed in the system message? I dont know why, the throbbing in my head wont stop. But even so, I knew what to do. Gathering my breath, I caught a glimpse of the howling native deities and turned my gaze elsewhere. Its not different [ you. challenger. What the hell did you do? How did you suddenly reach such a high level! ] He saw Karnar with a paleplexion, like someone who had seen something in vain. He trembled as if in a panic and asked excited questions. As if he had forgotten that he had an enemy in front of him. [Why why! Its not me who was favored by an ancient deity and dedicated the world to myself, but someone like you! ] But I consistently ignored those questions and looked at him quietly. without saying anything. He was venting his anger, so it wasnt worth talking to. It would be better if I noticed at least one change that happened to me while I exploded my inferiorityplex like that. After looking at him like that, I lowered my gaze and noticed one thing. Has the divinity used for apotheosis changed? The divinity < transcendence > that had covered the body so far disappeared and the divinity < death > took its ce. However, the divine < death > was different from before. Should I say that the concentration itself has changed? For some reason, it took on a mud-like shape, and because of that, the lethality increased. It looks as if it could drive all living things to the brink of death just by brushing them. In fact, even the native deities were suffering so much from the mud-like divinity that suddenly changed their deification status. I thought the native deities would feel so much pain from a power that wasnt even a proper divine power. Perhaps the divinity < Death > grew as the level of Necromancy increased. Thinking so, I suddenly had a question. Come to think of it, I satisfied the growth conditions of Necromancy and was able to revive like this. Then, what are the effects of the newly acquired necromancy? As soon as I thought about it, I immediately opened the status window and quickly looked at rted things. Unique Characteristic C Necromancy (S) Necromancys grade, which hadnt risen so far, became S-rank before anyone knew it. What really mattered was what I gained from the grade increase. After that, the moment I checked the newly added detailed effect. I could understand why it had suddenly be so strong. Detailed effect (8) C Has the power to control the death of all things. Detailed effect (9) C Challenger Han Seong-yoon takes the ce of < God of Death >. Detailed effect (10) C Challenger Han Seong-yoon has 1 It is possible to deny death once a year.] [ . ] Three detailed effects have been added at once. Its as great as one. I understood the contents in an instant, and then kept my mouth shut andughed inwardly. He would be like that. To be able to deal with the death of all things, hold the position of the god of death, and deny death once a year? I could understand why the growth conditions of necromancy were so difficult. Its just really crazy effects. Of course, two of the detailed effects are a little ambiguous to understand. Even that didnt bother me too much. That would be the case too [Now the bnce has been set. ] What is the power that governs the death of all things Maybe from now on you will be able to find out to your hearts content. Also very thoroughly. Chapter 256 256. Retrofit (4) Instinct. An ability that has not gone through any processing that a living thing has from birth. Its not that grandiose. Just as everyone knows how to breathe even without receiving a teaching Even if they do not understand the detailed principles of why they can breathe, there is no problem in practicing it. And Detailed effect (8) C It has the power to control the death of all things. This was not too different. I dont know what it means to control the death of all things, but at least I know how to use it. Even though no one told me, I was able to instinctively notice. How can I use the power to control the death of all things that the system message told me about? A feeling as if it were innate. Even if you dont understand the logic, you can immediately know how to use your power. Its the same with another detailed effect of necromancy. Detailed effect (9) C Challenger Han Seong-yoon takes the ce of < God of death >. > God of battle, god of darkness, god of proof, etc I also have the divine name that anyone with great power has. I dont know why I got this name or what this name means. But one thing was known. Right-. The god of death expresses hostility toward Karnar Sagsis. The fact that now I can reveal my status through system messages. This cannot be dismissed as a small change. Being able to reveal ones dignity through the towers system message means that system intervention is now possible. Even though it is still to the extent of showing emotions for a while in the system message. Depending on what you doter, the depth at which you can intervene in the system will be different. So this point deserves a lot of attention. But [ Why the hell? Why Challenger. A frog in a well like you has reached a higher level than dedicated the world to God, right? ] No more time to think deeply. Karnar was spitting out jealousy as if whispering to me with bloodshot eyes. It is jealousy close to hatred. And that emotion greatly influenced the divinity and faith that dwelled in his heart. Should I say that it seems that my strong faith has been twisted? It didnt seem to be in very good condition. Are you jealous of the state Ive reached now It was understandable. At the same time as my level of necromancy has grown, I have reached the position of a true deity, at least temporarily. Even that, in the form of gaining the position of < God of Death >. Perhaps Karnar was very angry that I, a challenger to the tower, had gained a new reputation. Having a new name means reaching a level higher than Karnar. His sudden growth would not have been to his liking. At that, I quietly clicked my tongue. Its quite ugly. It was then. DI dont think youll have time to think so leisurely, right? The de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword in my hand rang, and at the same time I heard Damcheonwus voice in my ears. DThe native deities are writhing in pain. It wont take that long to pull it off. The battle will resume soon. He tried to erase his bewildered expression as he spoke. DEven I am curious about how you came back to life but before that, you will have to resolve this situation. Otherwise, you will die again. Maybe I just knew I was going to die? There was a tremor in Dam Chun-wus voice that he could not erase even if he tried to erase it. Its like seeing an iprehensible phenomenon. Nevertheless, I was grateful that he quickly and reasonably presented a path that was close to victory. But I had no intention of listening to that advice. That would be too [ You dont have to worry so much. ] At least now I dont think Im going to lose. [Now I dont think Ill lose meaninglessly like before. ] Actually the moment when the divine power dwelling in the heart is raised. The native deities, howling in pain, stopped struggling and turned their eyes to me. The native deity The Giant of the Mountain who protected the spirits feels a visceral fear of you . Feeling fear of a specific target on the subject of the unwilling dead? It was apanied by a trembling of unknown reason. It doesnt seem like theres anything of the opposite sex left, but he still feels fear. The indigenous deities here do not have the ability to think for themselves. However, unlike before, feeling fear meant that the situation had changed. And the other side seemed to know that too. The 2nd-ss apostle Karnar Sagsis feels a strong urge and rages. You will reach the highest level with the power given by the tower? under! ] Karnar continued, shaking his head precariously as if denying something. [Do you think you can admit that! I I! I cant tolerate you standing here without any resolution! ] His face was distorted ugly with jealousy, hatred, and a terrible sense of inferiority. [Now I cant even survive, Ill finish itpletely!! ] And The native deity, the giant of the mountain that protected the spirits, follows thepulsive instructions.] The indigenous deity, the snake that tried to devour the mountain, follows the instructions withpulsion. Oh oh-! Shii-i-i-! At the end of his words, the native gods burst into me with a loud roar. But I wasnt nervous even while watching it. Should I say that it seems as if sandcastles are approaching that would copse if you hit them? The y-like divinity that settled in my heart was whispering to me. I know what to do. They say that they are no longer worth fighting for. At that, I smiled softly on my lips and drew out the divine power in my heart as if exploding. very strong too. And Use Divinity < Death > You can control the death of everything eroded by Divinity < Death >. Moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Indigenous deity, the giant of the mountain who protected the spirit, meets a forced death. Indigenous deity, the snake that tried to devour the mountain, meets apulsory death. The bodies of the indigenous deities copsing in contact with divinity and just fell down. *** Divinity. It is not dismissed as a mere name for the Godhead. Deity is a symbol of true divinity, and at the same time, it means that as a god, he has the realm of governing something. The meaning of subjectivity regarding a particr concept was simple. Right away that it has transcendental dominance as far as the concept of being supervised as a godhead. Therefore, deities with divine names have power that even the tower cannot interfere with. Thats why Karnar longed for that supreme state. If you gain the conceptual realm as a godhead, you will have the possibility to take revenge on the tower. So I dedicated this world directly to the ancient godhead. Karnar decided to get it in exchange for bing an apostle of the Ancient Godhead. Since this world wille to an end anyway, lets sacrifice the world and gain the strength to take revenge on the tower. So he gave everything to the god of despair, fall and madness. However, despite this, he was not able to attain a level that would allow him to gain a new name. I thought it was fine though. If you can give more to the Ancient Godhead, youll get what you want in the end. However, that odd self-constion was broken when Han Seong-yoon took the ce of the god of death. why. Why the hell did something like that get its ce? To a subject who is not even prepared to dedicate the world. Couldnt admit it. Even he himself, who had driven the world to destruction by shedding bloody tears, was not able to gain new life. By the way just a dog that was lucky enough to be chosen by the tower to gain the realm of concept as a god? Even if the world tolerated it, he himself could not tolerate it. Karnar was in denial with an inferiorityplex. do you think the position obtained through expedient methods can bepared to the position obtained in earnest? Anyway, the position Han Seong-yoon got would be nothing more than what the tower gave him. If so, it is possible to use the native deities to defeat them again. He firmly believed in the twisted idea because of an unbearable inferiorityplex. Until Han Seong-yoon suddenly shed his dark red divine power like light. [What the heck is this] Yes. At least I thought so before. But now Karnar could not keep that twisted belief. That would be the case too [The necromancer is off? ] It is because the native deities who came into contact with Han Seong-yoons divinity fell right away. Its also very miserable. I didnt even feel the bond with the native gods that I had formed with the necromancy before. This means that you can no longer revive native deities with necromancy. At that, Karnar hesitated in contemtion. I have to run away too He was immediately shocked and tried to escape by disabling the sacred realm but Tsutsutsu! All of a sudden, the sacred territory of the cemetery was eroded by dark red mud, and that became impossible. The divine realm < obsession in despair > bes uncontroble. Cancetion and extinction of the divine realm < obsession in despair > be temporarily impossible. [ Hah? ] Only then did I realize. Those who gain the realm of the concept of divine < death > can control the death of all things. Its not just about killing a living creature or destroying something in its ce. either to save or to kill. All of that can be said to be Han Seong-yoons will. Therefore, since it was eroded by the divine < death >, there was no way that the divine realm could be released without permission. Release of the divine realm, so are you preventing the death of the divine realm? Karnarughed incredulously. [Ha ha ha ha.] Recognizing the release of the divine realm as death and blocking it? It was an iprehensible phenomenon. However, Karnar, ironically, did not understand, but was convinced. it is realized [Is this the power of the Godhead who governs the concept] That the power of the Godhead who controls the concept achieves the unattainable. A premonition of defeat that will never be reversed. Karnar frantically searched for the god he served with his eyes tightly closed. A god of despair, fall and madness. [ God of despair, fall and madness! I will give my all! So give me the strength to kill the tower dogs! ] And The god of despair, fall, and madness epts the apostles request. The god of despair, fall, and madness epts the apostles body as a price. The god of despair, fall, and madness epts. ept the apostles soul as the price] The god of despair, fall, and madness epts the apostles faith as the price The moment when everything in Karnar was transferred to the god he served. The god of despair, fall, and madness appoints Karnar Sagsis as a 1st ss apostle. A power worthy of him was given to him as well. The 1st ss apostle Karnar Sagsis received the sacred < Hell > from the god. That is also quite useful. *** System messages filled my view. Absorbed the spirit of the native deity Giant of the Mountain who protected the spirit. Absorbed the spirit fragment [1/3]. Challenger Han Seong-yoon wins against the native deity, resulting in 17.6 ascension. % closer. Acquire the exclusive effect, Spirit Protection (A+), as a special reward for < Divinity Ascension >. From now on, challenger Seongyoon Han is favored by all spirits. The mountain giant who protected the The power of the existence that boasted the most bloated body among the native deities permeates the body. And in the blink of an eye, the level of divinity rises like crazy and deep power dwells. Absorbed the spirit of the native deity The Serpent that Tried to Devour the Mountain. Absorbed the spirit fragment [2/3]. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 15.9% ascension by winning against the native deity. Its getting closer. Acquire the exclusive effect Distortion (S-) as a special reward for < Sacred Ascension >. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon can distort space by consuming divine power. [ .. ..] The snake that tried to swallow the mountain. Among the native deities, the power of the being with the most difficult spatial distortion power is absorbed. And at the same time Ascension rose again, I could notice that something was gradually changing. Absorbed the spirit of the native deity Dragon that ruled over vegetation. Absorbed the spirit fragment [3/3]. Challenger Seongyun Han is 14.7% closer to ascension by winning against the native deity. Lost. Acquire the exclusive effect Dragon Heart (A+) as a special reward for < Divinity Ascension > . A dragon that ruled. The power of the being who had the most powerful divine power among the indigenous deities is now taking its ce. And the umted ascension is now close to 100%, and a change has urred. Brilliant golden light rose from inside the body as if it were boiling It wrapped around the body and took its ce as if it were mixed with the dark red divinity. DYou Damcheonwu, who dwells in the Blood Demon Sword, sighed and blurted out his words. It was worth it. Right now, Im draining his suffocating high power. If it wasnt for such a strong being, I would have lost my mind just by being around. [ Ascension. I was wondering what would happen if I raised the value close to 100% but it turns out like this. ] Nothing else Challenger Han Seong-yoon. You are in the process of acquiring the minimum qualifications to obtain additional Fame. Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > was really what made it possible to reach the position of God. DNo way! You guys are on a level that goes beyond normal divinity! [ no. Its not like that. I can tell for sure. ] DWhat is that? [Maybeter, but not now. ] I felt it. At this point, even if you dont use the power of deification, you can be treated as a god. But that doesnt mean reaching a level beyond the divine. Its just that Im now at the point where I can be a true Godhead. [When Ascension reaches 100%, I will be a real god. ] Dlike the god of battle or the god of proof? [ Maybe. Its not urate. I cant predict the oue either. ] DStill, the growth rate is like crazy. A challenger on the 40th floor will no longer be an opponent. I nodded at Dam Chun-wus words and quickly read the system messages. I got a lot of exclusive effects with < Divine Rise >. Killing three native deities and gaining a lot of high-level exclusive effects. I never thought I would get at least three A+-ss effects . Ill have to thoroughly check all of theseter in the waiting room. His eyes twinkled and I barely resisted the urge to check my abilities right away. And then I saw another system message appearing in the corner of my field of vision. Its not different-. The Spirit Shard [3/3] has met the charging requirement. You can select and acquire atent divinity by consuming the Spirit Shard [3/3]. The potential divinities that can be acquired at the moment are < Gourt >, < Breath >, and < Divine Protection >. A phrase that announces thepletion of charging the Spirit Shard, which has been seen once in the Giant Tree Labyrinth. Perhaps if you choose one of these three divinities, you will get it. It was a pity that I couldnt choose one divinity individually, perhaps because it was a native deity. But now there was no time to dwell in such regret. I can go back to the waiting room and choose thister. In response, I immediately removed the system message from the corner of my field of vision. Selection deferred. You can select and acquire potential divinity at ater time. And The 1st ss apostle Karnar Sagsis looks at the challenger Han Seong- yoon . Looking at Karnar, who was standing there, he frowned. [I thought he wasnt dead yet. ] Divine < Death > seized the divine realm and tried to kill him For some reason, Karnar was still alive. And that wasnt all. The 1st ss apostle Karnar Sagsis has received the divine < Hell > from the god. The god of despair, fall and madness gave him new strength. Even the powers rted to divinity. At that, I frowned and estimated how much Karnars power had increased. And then quickly gave him an estimate. The level of divinity has increased and the level of divinity has been added. Still, is it because of the trials administered by the Tower? In the worst case, the god of despair, fall, and madness did not write < Advent >. But even this could be considered pessimistic enough. The battle that should have ended long ago has been prolonged. Actually [Kuhahahahahahahahaha-! ] Karnar red at me with a big smirk, as if his confidence had risen. [ Challenger! Are you ready to pay the price for daring to destroy my servants! you! I will die in this ce! ] And. [Look at the challenger! ] He shouted triumphantly, as if he had a spleen, and spread his arms wide. The 1st ss apostle Karnar Sagsis activates divine < Hell > ] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! And at the same time, a ck stone door engraved with geometric patterns appeared behind him. [Ill plunge you into the abyss of despair! Regret that you burned in hell all your life and became a tower dog! ] The divinity < Hell > is activated, and a boundary line leading all living things to the light path opens. From that point on, the ck stone door opened in the blink of an eye. Then, an aura full of red swayed beyond the door and gave off suction power. Like trying to inhale everything in this ce. Its also very strong. oh oh oh oh oh oh! But [ . ] I couldnt help but flinch momentarily when I saw it. It was worth it. It seemed that he could handle the borderline of the light sword created by the divine < Hell >. Even that very simply. Could it be is that why it feels incredibly familiar? At that moment, I immediately recalled the new detailed effect of necromancy I had seen before. Detailed effect (8) C Has the power to control the death of all things. Its nothing different. It means that it has the power to control the death of all things. But I wasnt really sure. It was uncertain whether I could really handle that ck stone door properly. Its just that I dont know why I feel that way. however. I think I can handle it though As the saying goes, you have to pay for it anyway. Even if it fails, its enough to widen the distance with the power of Shunbo. Then, while concentrating, he invoked divine power. Divine < words > are used. Sacred power can be consumed to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed for words that interfere with the logic of the world. And. Close up. The moment Imanded that while activating the divine < Sword >. Whoa!! The activation is canceled by the power of the divine < Hell > that governs the death of all things. Achievement God of Death has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement ranges from [S-rank] to [SS] -Level]] Acquire the divine power-only power list (SS-) . Chapter 257 257. Hee-gwang Banjo (5) G-G-G-. Achievement God of Death has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement ranges from [S-rank] to [SS] -Rank] Acquire the divine power-only power, List (SS-). The moment the door to the dark sword created by divine < Hell > is closed. The system message that the achievement of being a god of death came to mind, and another power was obtained. That, too, is an incredibly high level authority. I felt a deep interest in him and my eyes twinkled. [ . ] It made sense. [You have obtained a mysterious power. ] The achievement reward obtained this time is neither a general power nor a special power. Now that Ive obtained powers ssified under a new category called god-only powers, I cant help but be interested in them. Even the power level was close to the top of the SS-ss It made me want to find out what the powers of this list were right now. Unfortunately, I couldnt immediately pay attention to the newly acquired authority. Thats probably the case too The first-ss apostle Karnar Sagsis is in denial while in confusion. [Cancetion of divine power activation? What kind of dog is this! ] Because Karnar in front of me was still struggling ugly. [The borderline of hell! Reveal yourself again and plunge your enemies into the pit!! ] Karnar used the Divine Authority once more with a face full of astonishment, as if he couldnt believe it. And in response, the ck stone door behind him trembled. Its not different. Dedeude! The first-ss apostle Karnar Sagsis activates the divine < Hell >. The divine < Hell > is activated and opens the boundary line leading all living things to the dark path. Pulling everything into Hell is trying to open the boundary line. But I had no intention of opening it again. You dont need to use your strength unnecessarily. At that, I smiled and spoke while activating the Divine < Lord of Words > once more. Divinity < Word of Word > is used. You can use your divine power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of divine power is consumed when you use your voice to interfere with thews of the world. Leading to the light path From now on, the boundary line cannot be opened without my permission. And at the same time, the divine power contained in the heart was greatly consumed and the amount decreased. It was worth it. Depending on how much of thew the divine < Emperor > touches, the consumption of divine power increases. Its the same as having taken away the right to invoke divine power The consumption of divine power increased ordingly. However, the consumption of divine power was not that great. Its nothing else The activation is canceled by the power of the divine < Hell > that governs the death of all things. Anyway, I can originally block the activation of this divine authority without cost. I only added the condition that the divinity could not be used without my permission. Therefore, the increase in consumption of divine power does not continue to the extent that deification is released. The moment I looked at him with a smile on my face. [What the hell! What do you mean-! That unbelievable power!! ] Karnars distorted face came into view. [Everything I really gave my all to God!! ] He shed bloody tears with his eyes wide open, and then screamed loudly as if screaming. [Soul and faith! I gave everything I could give! How is it that a scumbag like you who is not prepared to sacrifice something has such power! ] A voice filled with resentment. But when I heard Karnars words, Iughed out of embarrassment. It was worth it. Because his words were full of logic that was not like that logic. [In short, its just whining because you dont want to lose, right? ] [ what? . _ Its all about not wanting to lose anyway. ] [ . ] [ And since when did gaining power mean offering something to God? ] [ Thats! ] [ I never thought I wouldnt get power unless I offered something to God. Youre the trash that doesnt even have the determination to get something for yourself. ] At least the challenger didnt gain strength by offering anything to climb the tower. But Karnar is different. He gained power by giving everything to the ancient deity, the god of despair, fall, and madness. Even at the end of the day, as if he was desperate, he even gave himself up. But its ridiculous to say something like Im not determined when you see me. So I calmly told him the truth. The power gained by dedicating something without making any effort on your own is theck of resolve. But is that word too harsh? Karnar gnashed his teeth and then screamed in a fit of panic. [To the subject of crap without conviction! The reason Im standing here is because I received it from TOP! Why oh oh oh oh!! ] Tears of blood flowed from Karnars eyes and dripped down his chin. It looks like a demon that came up from hell. Countless emotions were mixed and affecting everything about him. And I was able to notice it right away. Look at this? Suddenly, emotions stemming from his inferiorityplex are welling up in an unknown ce. All the emotions of the first-ss apostle, Karnar Sagsis, are converted into faith and dedicated to the Lord. Its nothing else All of Karnars negative emotions turned into faith and flowed to the ancient deity. very quickly too. I never thought that the desire to deny something would be a kind of faith. Its fun. Perhaps if this state continues, you will receive something in return for giving your feelings. So it would be better to defeat Karnar quickly. But The exclusive skill Faith Stealing is activated. Defeating Karnar as if being chased by nervousness was nothing more than a bottom line. DAh, the robbery of faith. Come to think of it, there was something like that. Its a scam no matter how you look at it. The best course of action is to take advantage of this situation to the limit. It was worth it. I cannot gain faith periodically in one ce like other deities. Thats why he quickly robbed Karnar of the rising gray faith. I couldnt help but smile at him. This is not a tree that gives generously Karnars face suddenly hardened as he took his faith to the fullest. [What else is this? ] Now he noticed. That his twisted faith was flowing into me before I knew it. Then, after receiving Karnars gaze, I said with a smile. [Dont look at me like that, get a little more angry, right? That way I can gain more faith. ] [Ah ah] [Youve been angry until now, arent you controlling your anger now? ] [ Aaaaaaaa!! Shut up! no more no more! I wont let you open that mouth!! ] And. The 1st-ss apostle Karnar Sagsis dedicates reason to the main deity, greatly increasing her physical abilities. [Challenger! Even if I lose everything here! Ill definitely tear you to shreds and throw them as dog food! ] Soon, the moment Karnars eyes began to lose their intellect. Quadd-! His whole body was eroded by divine and demonic energy, and after receiving the assistance of numerous powers, he grew in size. It reminds me of the indigenous deity The Giant of the Mountain who Protected the Spirit. Looking at Karnar, who was erged by evil energy, I quietly expressed my appreciation. [In the end, he didnt try to do anything. ] At that, I clenched my two swords and shed my eyes full of determination. [Then lets finish it now. ] The long, long battle hase to an end. *** Right before entering the battle, I immediately wrote all themands with Necromancy. Because for some unknown reason, themanders can be consumed as a shield It was understandable. It would be a waste to blow away the spirits of the native deities currently in hand with something like a shield. He decided that it would be better to use themanders right away. And Uses all possessed spirits to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength increased by 116 Agility increased by 119 Stamina increased by 121 Magic power increased by 127 . Durability increased by 121 In the blink of an eye, the possessed spirits disappeared and their stats increased. Thats amazing. Thats amazing too. Even if it is a native deity, is it that the level of deity is not low? I salivated at the fact that all of my abilities had grown to over 100 degrees. Is this the spirit of a native deity? Even this is not the only reward obtained. The skill Report of Victory (A+) is created. Like a miracle, I acquired a skill that one of the native deities possessed. It is also a skill with a very high level. An A+ grade skill that can be said to be a rare grade among the skills currently possessed? In response, I immediately raised the corner of my mouth and activated the corresponding skill. The skill Report of Victory is strongly activated. Designate Karnar Sagsis as the prey and leave a mark of victory. When you get a mark of victory by defeating the prey, you learn the rted skills. When you get a mark of victory by defeating a prey, your stats rise ordingly. The newly acquired skill was nothing but a growth-type skill. Even though there is no effect that assists the battle. Nevertheless, the skill Report of Victory was worth it to the extent of calling for joy in the heart. If you defeat a designated enemy, not only your skills but also your stats will increase randomly. Growth line skill. Its been a while since I absorbed a good skill. I benefited greatly. At that, I smiled deeply and looked at Karnar right in front of me. Before he knew it, the mark engraved with the skill was emitting a faint red light and flowing out. Perhaps defeating Karnar will give you the Mark of Victory. As he was thinking that, in the blink of an eye, a quarter staff made of Karnars bones wasunched. Shiiik-! fast. I felt that way even though the various buff abilities were still not turned off. It is said that he even dedicated his reason to the god of despair, fall, and madness . But hes clumsy. However, Karnars movements were clumsy. Just now, like someone holding a stick, he handled the quarter staff made of bones at random. Without countermeasures, he swings and stabs his quarter staff around and does not coordinate his power. It looks like a beast. I had tough bitterly at him. [I think his abilities are slightly higher. In return, I havepletely lost my virtuosity. ] Karnar has be incapable of usingplicated techniques. Seeing that the system still judges the enemy as a strong enemy, it seems that the ability is outstanding . Perhaps using the difference in technique would be enough to win. actually- Authority Kimki Seonggang  is strongly activated. Skill Destructive Heaven is activated. The limit on what can be broken disappears. Unsurprisingly! [Kkeuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ] As I swung my sword aiming for Karnars loophole, his side was cut at once. DThatsme. His physical abilities are transcendent. There is no skill left to use it properly. Dam Chun-wu also immediately recognized his loophole and said so. C Theres nothing more to see. And what followed was, as he said, a boring battle with nothing to see. As if hunting a beast, the two swords cut through the skin over and over again. He continued the repetitive work, shaking off all the explosive demonic energy. Time passed just like that. Wow! [Keureureuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu] The de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, to which the Soul Source Demon Swords Mighty Skill was applied, pierced Karnars neck. Its also very neat. Even when the divinity < Death > was sent to the de, Karnar could no longer move. Divinity itself waspletely destroyed by the power that controls the death of all things. The skill Mark of Victory is strongly activated. Skill Savage Monster Power (B+) .] Magic power increases by 11. And Absorbed the spirit of 1st ss apostle Karnar Sagsis. Spirit Shard [1/3] has been absorbed. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 28.7% closer to ascension by winning against a native deity. Challenger Han Seong-yoon can revive the dead by consuming magic. In the blink of an eye, the level of divinity soared greatly and a new system message appeared. The ascension obtained through Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > has reached 100%. It is nothing else Conditions satisfied. Challenger Han Seong- yoon. Ascension has reached 100%, and challenger Han Seong-yoon can obtain a formal divine name . Chapter 258 258. Earth (1) As soon as the ascension reached 100%, the level of divinity rose like crazy. [This is] It feels like being equal to the many deities I saw in the giant treebyrinth. I could definitely notice. Now, he is growing so that he can use the power of a god without having to use deification. In the blink of an eye, the divine power in the heart increased like a runaway, bringing about a sense of omnipotence. [Its amazing. ] Even it is not only the Godhead who grows. DIs the level of the soul also rising ording to the level of divinity? It was felt. Its not just the divine power that dwells in the heart Something deep and deep is also rising to a high ce. Its like taking out your brain and letting it shine in the sunlight. I enjoyed the feeling while entrusting myself to the drowsiness pouring in without knowing why. DIt looks like the size of the bowl is increasing to catch the overflowing water And DIs this the process of bing a god? While doing so, another system message appeared in my field of vision. Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > satisfies the conditions and is automatically activated. Its nothing else Ascension has reached 100%, and some of the myths effects are distorted. Myth < Transcendence''s Possibility > This ascension reached 100% and was automatically activated. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is given the effect of < Cause and Effect Attunement > Since she won against an unwinnable enemy, the causal rate is partially adjusted. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is not significantly bound by the restrictions of the causalw, unlike normal divine powers. Challenger Han Seong-yoon gains the effect of < God Rise >. Since she won against an unwinnable enemy, her divinity level rises significantly. Challenger Han Seong-yoon ascends to heaven and gradually acquires the powers as a god. The concentration of divinity gradually deepened, and then it shone brilliantly while being dyed in golden light. Divine power was dyed by the divinity < transcendence >. Unlike when he became an apostle or when he obtained the position of the god of death, he did not lose his mind. But I knew nheless. That soon I will get a new position simr to < Grim Reaper >. And Time ends. The divine authority Apotheosis is disabled and cannot be reused for 8 hours. My thoughts soon became a reality. DYou just. Contender Han Seong-yoons official name has been confirmed as < God of Transcendence >. From now on, it is possible to exist as a god without using deification. Now, it is possible to obtain divinity without having to use something like deification. [ . ] The feeling that everything is clearer. The feeling of making oneself mistaken that one has be the light. At that, I smiled the deepest smile and clenched my fists. The Transcendental God has be aware of its own existence. Finally The existence power of the Transcendental God spreads across all dimensions. The Divinities of all dimensions know the existence of the Transcendental God It bes. Information about the transcendent god is now starting to be controlled by thew of causation. It has be a proper divinity. The Tower of Trials is starting to pay a lot of attention to the god of transcendence. That is also very special. *** Hell. In this sinful world where numerous demons were gathered, all dimensions were connected. It is a ce where all whomit sins, regardless of which dimension,e to this ce after death, and even some deities reside there. Hell is the home of all malicious beings. That is why those who know about hell sometimes makements like this. However, there were not that many people who liked Hell. It was worth it. The beings here do not trust anyone and do not wish for peace. So, in this hell, all I could get was meaningless killing. So, even the deities with divinity rted to demons did not like being in hell. Because in hell the deities cant get anything. But The god of battle is loud and shouts at the battlefield of Hell. [Fight! Kill! Hate, envy, and despise each other! If you show me your worth by doing so, Ill take you guys! ] The god of battle was different. He is the one who gains divinity and faith against those who fell in battle in the first ce. Thats why hell was the best ce to work for him. You can get a lot of divinity and faith just by encouraging fighting. Of course, inciting a direct fight is an act that doesnt fit the status of a god . Its rotten. but I still havent recovered the divine power I paid for the top It was understandable. This is because the God of Battle tried to deal with the towers challenger and failed miserably. One of thews that the Tower of Trialsid down on all deities, the Law of Cause and Effect, took away a lot from him. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. I must have vited thew of cause and effect to deal with him. shit. Because of that kind of bug The ordeal of the tower and the fight in the giant treesbyrinth inflicted indelible scars on his divinity. The root of the problem was that he wrote < Advent > to kill Han Seong-yoon, who was only a mortal. In order for a divinity to interfere with a mortal, a cause must be established . Maybe Ill have to reap divinity and faith like this randomly in hell for about 100 years Then the god of battle narrowed his forehead and gnashed his teeth. [ Han Seong-yoon! ] Challenger Sungyoon Han. Even if its a mere tower challenger, even if its a fake, its an existence that killed his own apostle and extorted the divinity. If it hadnt been for that, he wouldnt have had to roll so ugly in hell. He must have enjoyed the filthy struggle, killing bug-like mortals to his hearts content on the battlefield. As if it had been that way for hundreds of years. But all of that went wrong because of one mortal named Han Seong-yoon. [This wouldnt have happened if that insignificant mortal bastard hadnt installed it without knowing the subject! ] So the god of battle felt a hatred for the unworthy mortal. If given a chance to do anything, he would tear the mortal to pieces and kill him Now the god of battlecks the divinity or faith to be held as a mortgage. Therefore, it was his reality that he was forced to grind in hell like this. [ ha. At this point, Id rather that mortal bastard attain divine status. Then he wouldnt be protected by thew of causality either. ] The god of battle clicked his tongue and spoke delusionally. [If that happens, I should be able to visit the dimension where it lives] But [Huh? ] The repetition of such a miserable life did notst very long. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! Suddenly, a current of golden light flowed from the reddish-red sky of Hell. It is also very brilliant. At that, the god of battle stopped grinding his teeth and turned his gaze to the heavens. Then he frowned and studied the golden stream for a moment. [This is] nothing else [Has the godhead been created again? ] That signaled the appearance of a new deity, which happens every few hundred years. The god of battle is a deity that has lived for thousands of years. So I had no choice but to know what it was. It seems that a formal divinity with the realm of divinity has appeared. This could be said to be a signal announcing the appearance of a deity who had gained a new name. < Battle > < Proof > < Darkness > etc Each time a god who controls a certain divinity appears, such a signal appears. That too, at the same time in all dimensions where the Godhead exists. It was interesting, but nothing too unusual. After all, the appearance of a formal godhead only happens once every few hundred years. By the way [I dont know why, but the color of the air flow is familiar? ] The god of battle narrowed his eyes when he saw the golden stream that appeared in the hells sky. It was worth it. Each deity has a color appropriate to the divinity that governs it. It may ovep some, but not so easily. Come to think of it, I dont think Ive ever seen a golden divinity in my life And. [ ah. ] Thanks to that, it was sometimes possible to identify the opponent as a signal announcing the appearance of this new deity. [I remembered. ] The god of battle could recall a divinity he had seen before. Even among the challengers from the tower, the existence possessed a foreign power. The face of a challenger who resisted the godhead despite being only mortal and drew a lot of attention from the ancient gods shes in his mind. And [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ] The corner of the god of battles mouth went up as if it were tearing up, creating a grotesqueugh. *** Congrattions, you have broken through the 21st floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, Swordsmans Scabbard (SS-) will be sent to your inventory. You have acquired. You have acquired 20000 SP as a breakthrough reward. As an additional breakthrough reward, Hourss dyed in ck (A+) will be sent to your inventory. As an additional breakthrough reward, Traces of Divinity ( A+) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. As soon as I became a proper godhead, a system message appeared blindingly. [ Ah,e to think of it, the conditions for clearing the ordeal were met. ] Its nothing else With the death of Karnar Sagsis, the 21st floor ordeals clear conditions were satisfied and the ordeal ended. I never thought I would be rewarded like this as soon as I was promoted to official godhood. I forgot about the thought that I had reached 100% ascension. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated. So, I took a quick look at the system message and immediately used the exclusive authority. The level of reward increases with Exclusive Authority #D-0007 [Increase Reward]. 21st floor breakthrough reward Swordsmans Sheath (SS-) (SSS-). As an additional breakthrough reward on the 21st floor, ck-dyed hourss (A+) will be enhanced to ck-and-white hourss (S+). As an additional breakthrough reward on the 21st floor Traces of divinity (A+) are enhanced with Traces of an ancient deity (S+). Seeing that all the grades of the rewards went up one by one, I really liked it. Even if he officially became a < God of Transcendence > and was recognized as a god, the rewards could not be ignored. It was worth it. From what Ive seen so far, even the gods are not free from the power of skills or power items. I got a lot from the 21st floor reward. Youll know what all of these are after you return to the waiting room, but Still, I couldnt help but feel very good because I got items with at least S+ rank. But are there still rewards to be gained? Another system message quickly surfaced. It has been detected that the basis for creating a myth has been sufficiently established. The authority sacred power is strongly activated. Its nothing else Calcting a myth based on the actual result and Shinto belief. Another myth after a long time The moment to get it had arrived. Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > has beenpleted. Shinhwa < The Enemy of Everything > umtes in divine power . Your holy power greatly interferes with the power of all beings. Those who do not have will cannot resist your holy power. When < Chaos > is activated, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. As the enemys negative emotions grow, the efficiency of faith extraction also increases. Thats it. Chapter 259 259. Earth (2) Shinhwa < The Natural Enemy of Everything > has beenpleted. Shinhwa < The Natural Enemy of Everything > umtes in divine power . When < Natural Enemy > is activated, your divine power greatly interferes with the power of all beings. Those who do not have will cannot resist your divine power. The effect of < Chaos > is applied. When < Chaos > is activated, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. Creation of a new myth When I saw it, my eyes lit up right away. [ The nemesis of everything? ] It deserved it. It was because the myths I had acquired after a long time were different from the ones I had acquired so far. Shinhwa < Enemy of Everything > was filled with really interesting effects. Should I say that the focus is on taking and pressing the opponent thoroughly? [ . ] It was not enough to be able to interfere with all kinds of powers, and to be able to extract the negative emotions of others with faith It was amazing. However, as I slowly looked at the contents, I could understand why these effects appeared. Perhaps the myth < Enemy of Everything > is the result of a story obtained from the decisive battle with Karnar. It seems like < Neumatic Enemy > countered the opponents strength throughout the battle, and < Chaos > was created thanks to stealing faith with a dedicated skill. It is also attractive to have the same power as your natural enemy in battle. Unlike other deities, I cannot receive and receive faith in one ce. Of course, he became a savior on the stage of trials on the 18th floor and gained a lot of faith. It was certainly difficult to be a source of ie for a fixed faith. The myth itself is quite usable. Ill be able to put it to good useter. Shinhwa < Enemy of Everything > was well worth using as one of the main abilities. Of course, there is a downside that it is difficult tobine with the activation of other myths. In fact, even that is not a big problem because you can increase the amount of Shinhwas activation with the intangible sword. At that moment, I put a smile on my lips and then used the divine < Death >. Its nothing else The Divine Realm < Obsession in Despair > is released from an out of control state and disappears. Khajijit! In the blink of an eye, the realm of ck graveyards disappeared, revealing the original world. The original world he saw uponing here was and contaminated with the divinity and demons of an ancient deity. The god of despair, fall and madness was bringing about the end of the world, and it was about to be a reality. By the way C Huh. Thend that came into view was very different from what he had seen before. DIsnt this a pretty amazing sight? The earth, stained with divinity and demonic energy, was trying to escape from its influence. very quickly too. The vegetation, which had dried up without a drop of moisture, regained some vitality, and the color of the ground surface was not as dark as before. To some extent, the purification of thisnd has been carried out. DThat crazy divinity of an ancient deity disappearing so quickly Even if it cant be said to bepletely purified yet, its at least an environment where life can live. Seeing that, I immediately turned my head to look around and said admiringly. [It sure looks amazing. I didnt know that the earth would suddenly be purified like this. ] DThats right. The divinity and the demons here would have been difficult even if the deity came and drove them out. But now [At this point, the purification may proceed on its own even if I dont touch it. ] DI guess so. Your divinity must have had something to do with this ce. It is something that cannot be exined otherwise. [I guess so. ] That makes sense. As he said, thend here was not something that could be solved by self-cleaning. It wasnt that much time had passed until midnight. Perhaps something happened while defeating Karnar. Are the conditions for the ancient deity to intervene? The god of despair, fall, and madness would have used Karnar as a limb. Otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to do anything because of thew of causality that the Tower put on the godhead. The twisted cult of Karnar gave him a reason to intervene, so he was able to use his powers, albeit indirectly. But not anymore. Since the medium called Karnar has disappeared, thew of causation will no longer allow excessive intervention by the godhead. The apostle of the ancient deity lost his life, and as a result, the justification for using his power was lost. It was only now that I understood why the pollutednd had been cleansed of itself. Originally, I was thinking of staying here and taking care of things for a while even after clearing the ordeal. The special power Create Divine Realm is activated. Challenger Seongyoon Hans divine power and faith are consumed to create the divine realm < Transcendence >. Brilliant golden divinity flows out of the body and creates a holy ground at once. In ces where there is a divine realm < Transcendence >, the body and mind do not suffer from lethargy. In ces where there is a divine realm < Transcendence >, all growth rates increase by 100%. All kinds of injuries recover quickly. The effect of the divine realm is the same as before. Brilliant light became a pir and soared into the sky, and the surface of the earth began to be wrapped in a film of divinity. However, that did not mean that nothing had changed. Even at a nce, there were things that were different enough to tell. Exactly DHow far does the divine realm extend? The whole radius of the divine realm < Transcendence > was like that. Now, the sacred realm has grown to the extent that it is difficult to contain it in the field of view, rather than just enclosing the whole area. Guessing with my senses, the divine realm would continue to expand further. Of course, the consumption of divine power and faith also increased. But it was worth it. [Probably, you can protect all areas contaminated with divine and demonic energy with this. ] Its a decent level if you can save the people living in thisnd with just this much power. Of course, since there are no divinities left in this world, I dont think I can protect them forever. It was worth it. As Karnar said, there is no divinity left in this ce anymore. But even so, I didnt think it was wrong to use the sacred realm to protect people. Anyway, there was no divinity on Earth. Those who can live will live. Even without the protection of a godhead, people could survive. Karnar said as if he had no ability to protect the dimension without the power of a godhead Surprisingly, if there is no such thing as a human being, the next best thing is toe up with. At least if you give them a little help with the divine realm, they will find a way to live. Even if its not, the degree of pseudo-deity will appear. [ Until then, I hope that the sacred realm will be maintained. ] After thinking that, I created an additional divinity area by using the divinities of < Death >, < Immortality > and < Reverse Heaven >. It was to prepare for the invasion of another deity. After several tens of minutes passed, the pirs of light with different colors began to grow. Quite a lot. Now I can really go. The moment I smiled at him and was about to go back to the waiting room. Skill Hope Spread is activated. Hope for you spreads rapidly by skill Hope Spread. One of the skills I had forgotten about suddenly activated. [ what? ] And at a time I hadnt even thought of. *** same time. The home of the Hermian n, surrounded by sacred realms. There, Lucia was taken aback when she sensed the pirs of light rising through the sky. It was just like that. All the pirs of light rising up to the sky today were all she knew. Even though she couldnt see it, her innate senses as a shrine maiden were telling her. Thats like the power of the divine spirit that gave salvation to the n. And Everything really went as predicted The end that should havee to the world is now gone. Lucia raised her head and stared nkly toward the sky. Although she could not see the pir of light because she was blind by nature, she could feel the power within it. A power beyond the reach of mere mortals. Suddenly, Lucia remembered one of the prophecies handed down from generation to generation. No way Its nothing else -When the Divine Spirit drove the end, he would give the oracle of salvation. At that time, all members of the n must follow the will of the spirit. She remembered the prophecy that the divine spirit she believed in would cast an oracle after driving out the end. Is this the oracle of the prophecy? There is no phrase that clearly conveys the meaning anywhere. The pirs of light made of divinity only expand the area as if to protect them. However, Lucia soon sped her hands together and smiled as if she was praying faithfully. Finally The smile on her lips was indelible sincerity. Its also very subtle. So far, Lucia has continued her life as a priestess to keep the prophecy of her n. And now the opportunity to keep that prophecy hase. Even without text, she was confident that she could understand Gods will. Are you finally giving us a chance to wash away the mistake of being Karnar! She seemed to know what the pirs of light in the sky meant. At that time, one of the members of the n came up to Lucia in a hurry. He couldnt control his excitement even when he was out of breath and quickly reported to Lucia. Mistress! do you feel now! The power of the divine spirit is in the sky over there! You shouldnt be too surprised. It is a fact that we already know. Thats right. sorry. I had toe in with an example No. You have nothing to apologize for. Because I was also trying to deliver the oracle given by the divine spirit. An oracle? At her words, a member of the n cautiously asked a question, and only then did Lucia answer as if satisfied. From now on, our n will leave thisnd. and. What is that! You know! That thisnd was once inhabited by native deities! We have a duty to save the native divinity! A member of the n who heard her words couldnt hide her embarrassment and said that. It was worth it. For the Hermian n, who deal with necromancy, thend where the native deity lived was like a sacred ce. They have lived here for hundreds of years. He endured only with the will to save the native deity with necromancy. Thats why I say it. But now Lucia knew it was useless. Karnar Sagsis. My ns blot was also obsessed with the revival of native deities. But what about his end? You betrayed your family and joined an ancient deity, and then even an unseemly n was stopped by a divine spirit. Thats But the true salvation given by the oracle is not like that. A member of the n looked at him and quietly asked a question. Then, are you saying that the oracle of salvation given by the divine spirit is different from the familys wish? Thats right. The spirits said they would protect us. As long as we show our will. . From now on, we will preach the greatness of God to those outside of us. And in the end, I will make it happen ording to the will of the divine spirit. No way Yes. Lucia continued talking with her mouth twitching as if she couldnt stand the anticipation. All religions that exist in the world will disappear, and only the existence of the Holy Spirit will remain. In a word, it meant that all religions in the world would be Han Seong-yoons. The members of the n, who understood the true meaning of her words, trembled. It was Oh oh oh oh oh! Such an oracle! Goddess didnt abandon us after all! It was excitement based on the faith in Han Seong-yoon. Looking at the members of the n with such excited eyes, Lucia said in a soft voice. Please spread the news to others as well. And we will leave thisnd today. Ah yes. But who will you spread your faith to Oh, dont worry about that either. Because I have decided where to fill my faith. Oh She then went on to say where to start spreading the faith. I think we should lightly change the state religion of the holy nation in the West. divine country. The worldsrgest religious group that worships a certain deity. She decided it was reasonable to change from there. If the divine oracle is as prophesied, we will have to fix the stupid unbelievers one by one so it would be better to change the biggest problem first. Perhaps this is the will of the divine spirit. Lucia sped her hands together and prayed while turning her head to the pir towering in the sky. My God. Please wait a little longer. We will make this world belong to the spirits. And a smile bloomed on her beautiful face. At that time, please be our god and shine again. Thats a very sincereugh. *** You have entered the waiting room on the 22nd floor. As soon as I entered the waiting room, numerous system messages blocked my view. Its nothing else Achievement Contagion of collective madness has been achieved.] The skill Emotional Confusion (B+) is created. Achievement Attempt to unify religion has been achieved] Skill Faith Propagation (C+) is created Aplished the achievement Cultist Holder The skill Faith Replenishment (D-) is created Uh .. Achievements were achieved in the blink of an eye, indeed. Transcendence God fulfills the special conditions and acquires a special Divine Authority appropriate to the rank. Special Divine Authority Designate a Believer (SS) has been acquired. Special Divine Authority Power Endowment (S+) I learned. Suddenly? Once again, I got a reward I dont know why. Chapter 260 260. Earth (3) Aplished the achievement Collective Insanity Contagion. The skill emotional confusion (B+) is created. Achievement Attempt to Unify Religions has been aplished The skill Faith Propagation (C+) is created I achieved the achievement Cultist Holder The skill Faith Replenishment (D-) is born Achievements aplished as if blinding. Transcendence God fulfills the special conditions and acquires the special divine authority appropriate for the rank. You have learned the special divine authority Designate a Believer (SS). You have learned the special divine authority Power Sergeant (S+). And even the special divine powers obtained by suddenly satisfying the conditions -her. No, how long has it been since you became an official godhead? Are you already acquiring special divine powers? As if he was tired of being surprised, Damcheonwuughed once and said that. But I couldnt help but be surprised. That would be too What is this again? Because I couldnte up with a reason why system messages suddenly popped up. It was worth it. I didnt expect so many achievements to be created as soon as I returned to the waiting room I couldnt understand why so many achievements were aplished at once. was there a trigger of something? What is it that has led to so many achievements? Until now, the achievements had not been achieved, so I had no choice but to feel a sense of heterogeneity. But that was only for a moment. All of a sudden I remembered one of the system messages that came to my mind earlier. Not different The skill spread hope is activated. Hope for you spreads rapidly with the skill Hope spread. Come to think of it, the skill did activate. It reminded me of the activation of one of the skills obtained in the 18th floor ordeal. A skill that elerates the harvest of faith used during the ordeal clear. However, it was also a skill that had forgotten its existence because it had no value beyond that. I hadnt used it properly since the 18th floor ordeal, so I forgot about it. Even then, the Hope Propagation skill obtained as an achievement reward would have been activated and numerous achievements must have been obtained. So, Im guessing this time, the spread hope skill has something to do with the creation of the achievement In fact, I couldnt be sure because I didnt know anything specific. But I wasnt too worried. But theres nothing wrong with getting achievement rewards for now. Even if you get a reward you dont know what it is, you can use it as it is. Then I roughly cut off my thoughts and turned my consciousness elsewhere. Even if it wasnt like this anyway, there were a lot of things to pay attention to. After clearing the 21st floor ordeal, I really gained tremendous strength. It would not be an exaggeration to say that confirmation of this is an essential process. so. Resume selection. The spirit piece [3/3] has satisfied the required number of charges. You can select and acquire a Latent Divinity by consuming the Spirit Shard [3/3]. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Gourt >, < Breath >, and < Blessing >. At this time, the potential divinity that was not selected will not appear as an optionter. First of all, it is time to resume the acquisition of divinity, which was dyed. < Gourt > < Breath > < Blessing >. Its probably the deities that each of the native deities you defeated previously had one Surprisingly, I didnt have to worry too long. D< Gourt > and < Breath >. Except for < Divine Protection >, the rest are divinities that I have already seen. Like he said, two of the options for learning divinity had already been seen. I immediately recalled the divine powers I saw in the battle with the native godhead. But there was no divinity I liked so much. < Gourt > is the power to distort space and absorb attacks, and < Breath > is a dragons breath with one fire power. < Gourt > and < Breath > are decent divinities that arent bad no matter where you use them. However, even if < Gluttony > is said to be so, < Breath > is a slightly higher level than the unquenchable mortal me. Therefore, < Breath > was not worth choosing, and < Gourt > was not very attractive. If its all about erasing attacks anyway, there are many simr powers. In fact, < Gourt > and < Breath > were not necessary no matter what I chose, so I chose < Blessing > after thinking for a while. and. Selectionplete. Divine < Blessed Protection > is reced with potential. next moment. Wevee very close to the opening of the upper section. Some of the faith you acquire from now on will be consumed to open the Merchant War. When faith is consumed to achieve the opening of the upper tier battle, you will acquire abilities rted to divinity. An interesting story appeared after a long time. *** Sangdanjeon (ϵ). It seems that the power came from the power of the Heavenly Demons body obtained after defeating the Heavenly Demon Originally, I thought it was an ability rted to martial arts, but as time passed, it was only now that the outline was drawn. Are you sure. Sangdanjeon is a power that is directly connected not only to martial arts, but also to divine power. The more divinities you get, the closer you get to the opening of the upper level battle. Now, as a system message, it was said that when the upper level battle is opened, you will get the ability rted to the godhead. Undoubtedly, it could be seen that Sangdanjeon is a power rted to divinity. However, since there is nothing to know now anyway, I turned off my interest for now. Ill find out what this is when I open the upper section hallter. After that, I activated the newly acquired divinity < Divine Protection >. I use the divine < protection >. By consuming divine power, cast a blessing that excludes the external divinity once. For those who have received protection once, they cannot be granted another protection for 12 hours. Is it because he has now gained the title of transcendent god? Its nice to be able to use divine powers without deification now. After gaining the official divine name through ascension, he was able to use divine powers without having to use deification. This is one of the advantages gained by bing a true god. As soon as I felt the satisfaction of that, I was able to notice the ability of the Divinity < Guardian >. Not different Are you designating a specific target and giving it a blessing that erases the divinity once? It could be said to be the power of one-time exclusion of divinity. Whatever it is, it can be erased once with the divine < Prophecy >. The scope of application was not narrow as the subject of application even included oneself. < Gluttony > and < Breath > are so good that they cant evenpare? Perhaps this is the divinity possessed by the giant of the mountain who protected the spirit It seemed that he had died by touching the divinity < Death > without even having time to use this divinity. It was worth it. The native deities resurrected by Karnar had no will. I absolutely followed Karnars instructions, so maybe I couldnt use the Divine < Divine Protection > because there were no instructions. Well, even if I used the Divine < Divine Protection > to block the Divine < Death >, nothing would have changed. Still, I felt sympathy for him to think that he had died that way without ever having used such a trump card. But that was only for a moment. Now I have chosen the divinity, and the effect has been confirmed. Then, without wasting time, it was time to move on to the next one. It seems that most of the skills obtained through achievements are not useful. Most of the skills acquired through achievement rewards were rted to faith. However, upon checking, there were some skills that were not practical. Thats a very big word too. The only really useful skill is spreading faith. Spreading the Faith (C+). It has a passive effect that increases the speed at which faith spreads, even if the skill level is lowered. So I decided that it would be better to leave this alone and rece the rest with the seal of offering. and. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering (B) is activated. I received a total of 8 skills from myself. The corresponding abilities are converted into divine power and stored in the heart. As soon as all the skills obtained through achievements were reced with divine power, he opened his inventory. Now I have to check the clear reward of the 21st floor ordeal. Like that, I took out items in turn from my inventory and read the description window. Also very carefully. The scabbard of a certain swordsman who pursued mystery Rating: SSS- A scabbard containing the conviction of a swordsman who pursued mysteries in ancient times. The performance of the sword increases every 48 hours when a B+ grade or higher sword item is stored in the scabbard. The increase in the performance of the sword is made by something unrted to the exclusive effect and grows mainly through item buffs. The basic reward of the 21st floor ordeal was a red scabbard with geometric patterns engraved on it. The performance is fine in its own way. To be honest, I thought it was a bit low level to be treated as an SSS-ss item. Because it doesnt bring any direct benefit in battle. But instead, there were no restrictions on improving the performance of sword items. With enough time, any B+ or higher sword item could be made into the best sword, whatever it was. In response, I immediately put the scabbard around my waist and inserted the Blood Heaven Demon Sword into it. Hourss dyed in ck and white Rating: S+ An hourss of an unknown divinity dyed in ck and white. When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect end of time can be activated. The users time is stopped for 4 seconds, and during that time, it is not interfered with by external forces. After using the exclusive effect End of Time, a cooldown of 7 days is created. What I got as an additional reward for clearing the 21st floor ordeal was an hourss colored in ck and white. Its not that special outwardly The sand in the hourss is ck and white, creating beauty. Even the performance wasnt all that great. Even though its an S+ grade item, its incredibly effective. By stopping time, it was possible to temporarily exclude being affected by external forces. If it can be used at the right time, it will be able to consume even the decisive blow meaninglessly. Depending on how you use it, it could be a survival tool or a trump card. Then I smiled and took the ck-and-white hourss in my arms. Traces of an Ancient Godhead Rating: S+ It is a trace of an ancient deity that was stained with darkness a long time ago. You can obtain the divinity < Memory > that dwells in the traces of the ancient deity by consuming 8 Latent Divinities. However, there is a possibility that your mind will be eroded by the traces of the ancient deity while acquiring divinity < Memory >. I saw a small ck box obtained as an additional clear reward for the 21st floor ordeal. Suddenly, ck darkness was pouring out of the ck box. Its also very powerful. This. As I read the item description, I slightly frowned. It was worth it. A level that a human without divinity could not handle and could go crazy just by holding it in his hand. It can be said that it is an item that contains the energy of God so clearly. Is it possible to obtain the divinity of an ancient deity? It was interesting. Even if you have to consume 8tent divinities, you can get one of the divinities of the ancient deity? To be honest, if I had enoughtent divinity, I wanted to get the divinity of an ancient deity right now. But I couldnt. You cant offer 8 potential divinities each. And there is a possibility of being eroded by the power of an ancient deity. Even if it is the divinity of an ancient deity, I do not have manytent divinities. In addition, even if you recklessly obtain the divinity of an ancient deity, your mind could be destroyed by the power of the ancient deity. At least I couldnt write it now. however. Still, it might be worth using if you acquire additional potential divinitiester. The story will be different if you defeat enemiester and gain potential divinities. After checking all the rewards for clearing the 21st floor, I quickly turned around. Next, we looked at the exclusive effects obtained from the < Possibility of Transcendence >, a myth obtained from battles with indigenous deities. However, there were only two exclusive effects that could be activated arbitrarily. The exclusive effect Distortion is activated. Consumes divine power to cause distortion in the designated space. The exclusive effect Necromancer is activated. By consuming divine power, I revive the corpse and serve it as a servant. Is this all you can use? All other exclusive effects were applied like passives. The exclusive effect Dragons Heart increases the amount of horsepower by 1.8 times, and the exclusive effect Spirit Protection is favored by the spirits. So both are applied passively. Surprisingly, the exclusive effects did not have much to look at. I think the only thing that can be used in battle is distortion that twists space. Necromancer is an ability I dont like very much, and spirit protection wont be usable in battle. After examining the newly acquired exclusive effects, I turned my attention to other rewards. Not different Now I can confirm the powers. Now is the time to find out about the newly acquired powers. *** For now, I decided to check them one by one, starting with the special divine powers I just obtained. The special divine power Designate a believer is activated. You can harvest faith from followers by designating them. Currently, the number of followers worshiping the transcendental god is [0]. Currently, the number that can be designated as a follower of the Transcendental God is [96782]. designation of a believer. This special divine power obtained by satisfying the new conditions was rted to the harvest of faith. Although you cant designate an apostle like other deities, you can now officially be a follower. After that, I couldnt help but open my eyes. Its an essential power for a godhead. In response, I immediately designated everyone as a follower using the power of designating a follower. The disciple designation has beenpleted. Currently, the number of followers worshiping the transcendental god is [96782]. Currently, the number of people who can be designated as followers of the transcendence god is [0]. and. It was felt. It means that faith flows in more quickly than before from those who have been designated as believers. However, although the speed was faster than before, it was not very special. Wouldnt it be faster to rob a certain deity of faith? Cant I still achieve that much efficiency with 90,000 followers? But the regret was only momentary. It was worth it. Compared to other deities, I am still no different from a newborn baby. You just need to slowly increase the number of followers. Theres nothing to be impatient about. Anyway, there were many means to supply faith. After clearing my mind like that, I immediately activated another special divine power. In other words, the special divine authority that was obtained at the same time as obtaining the designation as a Shinto in the past. but. The special divine authority Power Sergeant cannot be activated because it does not meet the conditions. The number of followers worshiping the god of transcendence must exceed [300000] to bestow authority. The authority that is presumed to be able to bestow authority has yet to be used. The reason for not using it was simple. This is because the number of followers obtained by designating a believer is extremely insufficient. Seeing the system message like that, I clicked my tongue and sighed. This is another condition that must be satisfied I wasnt even surprised anymore. Even though I officially became a god, I stillck a lot. I felt the need to umte more divinity and faith. Thats a lot too. Its a long way to go. Compared to the ancient gods, the road still felt far away. But there was no time to be so immersed in contemtion. There was another authority that needed to be confirmed. Not different The divine power exclusive List is activated. You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m. The beings on the list of deaths approach death every minute and be greatly weakened. Anyone who continues to fight for more than 44 minutes while being listed in the Shinigami list will be eroded by the divine < Death >. This was the case with the god exclusive power obtained by aplishing the achievements of the god of death in the 21st floor authority. At that, I read the system message, lost for words, andughed. There was no really crazy authority. Should I say its a reward worthy of the Shinigamis achievements? Right now, I wanted to use this god-only power with ridiculous performance. Ive never gotten such a heart-poundingbat optimization power recently. and. A new message has arrived from my friend Baekryeonhwa. next moment. There are currently 187 unread messages in the chat history of your friend Baekryeonhwa. As if fate, an opportunity to properly use the Authority appeared. Chapter 261 261. Earth (4) A new message has arrived from your friend Baekryeonhwa. There are currently 187 unread messages in your friend Baekryunhwas chat history. there was. Something else happened on Earth. The opportunity to use the powers obtained as a reward from the 21st floor ordeal has arrived. It was worth it. Until now, Lee Ha-yeon hadnt contacted me at all. She is not called this way unless there is apulsory muster from Earth. Perhaps something happened to the extent that I had to stop climbing the tower. Convinced, I immediately started scanning the chat window of my friends list. I read 187 unread messages from beginning to end. Also very carefully. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Mr. Seongyun. If the ordeal is over, please read these messages. Things are very bad right now. To what extent did Lee Ha-yeon also think that he had to climb the tower as a challenger? the 17th floor? Its the same difficulty as Lee Ha-yeon, but hes already reached the 17th floor? Before she knew it, she had reached the 17th floor of the tower. Of course, the challengers skill could not be measured by just the number of floors. ording to the information Lee Ha-yeon gave me in the past, the difficulty and tendency of each challenge change as the challenger climbs the floor. So just because she was on the 17th floor, I couldntpare her to the days when I was on the 17th floor. But Still, at this point, isnt Lee Ha-yeon also a ranker at the Earth level? Considering the minimum level of difficulty of her floor, she couldnt underestimate it that much. Its probably at a level that can be highly regarded at the Earth level. I dont know why I thought to climb the tower so high. Its not a bad thing, at least shes my partner on Earth. A lot of interesting things happened while I was drawing attention from Earth. At that, I smiled and then read the messages in the chat window. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Orange gates that have never been seen before have opened in each country. However, this is different from the existing gate. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): There is no such thing as a dungeon break, but monsters keeping out of the gate. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Even that level is iparable to the monsters Ive seen so far. But the problem is that this is not the end. gate. It was not surprising that portals leading to dungeons were opened in each country. Even if the color of the gate is orange, it can be regarded as a special phenomenon. However, after seeing the message in the chat window that followed, I was able to realize the seriousness of the situation. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): A demon, one of the monsters that can only be observed in the Tower of Trials, has appeared. A demon? The appearance of a demon, a monster that doesnt even appear in dungeons? I couldnt understand. It was even more so because the current earth dimension was recognized as the official climbing dimension designated by the tower. Now, challengers from the other world wont be able to easily aim for Earth I felt something was foreign. Theres no reason the challengers have to pay a huge penalty to create a gate in the Earth dimension. However, it could not be said that it was not the work of the challenger unconditionally. It reminded me of the challenger from the other world who had appeared in London before. At that time, the challenger of the other world said himself that he had gained faith from the earth. By concentrating all the negative emotions into himself, he is trying to gain divine power in his heart. If theres a challenger who wants to gain the power rted to divinity like that time, it doesnt make sense. Even if it wasnt so, maybe this was a situation that was entangled with the godhead. Even a mere challenger came to Earth to gain faith, so there could be something different about being a god. Whether its a challenger or a godhead Whatever it is, I can tell that the situation is not good. While frowning at him, I speeded up reading the messages in the chat window. And -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Nearly 1 million casualties urred in Korea alone. And Ive suffered a lot of damage overseas as well. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Each country concluded that it was actually rted to the challengers. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Eventually, the International Hunter Association summoned the highest difficulty level challengers. Soon, the message in the chat window came down to thetest one. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): And Mr. Seongyun is also subject to the call of the International Hunter Association. Then I couldnt help but show interest with a twinkle in my eyes. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Of course, I didnt say it bare-mouthed, but the International Hunter Association promised to reward Seongyuns cooperation. He would be like that -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Mr. Seongyoon said that if you respond to the summons, you can get an S-ss hunter license right away. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): They say they will give you as many items as you want, such as skill proficiency increase potions and skill random acquisition books. -Baekryeonhwa (17th floor): Other than that, Seongyoon said that he had ns topensate for most of what he wanted. I dont know why, but it was because the Hunter Association offered a big reward. Thats a very appetizing reward. You have purchased a return stone (E+). How much money can I get this time? *** When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a studio that felt a little distant. A dusty desk, a crowded floor with all sorts of items, unventted air, etc I felt strange seeing the evidence that someone had been away for a long time. For some reason, everything felt strange. It doesnt even feel like home anymore. I really doubt that this is the ce where I lived. But soon, I worked hard to get rid of that sense of difference and immediately injected magical power into my smartphone. And at the same time, delicate control turned mana into electricity, filling the smartphones battery. The power skill Magical Management is activated. It was rewarding to climb the tower and raise the skill level of Magical Management. Its because he can do the detailed maniption of magic that he wasnt very familiar with before. While doing so, I could sense that I had grown subtly. That abilities not rted to divinity are steadily growing. But now there was no time to fall into sentimentality. Now its more important to find out the situation on Earth. As it was, I immediately turned on my smartphone and checked the news on the portal site. [The appearance of the devil, a monster observed only in the Tower of Trials, became a hot topic when the International Hunter Association said, Everything is an issue that the challengers must also take responsibility for.] [Gate-rted schrs This time , The gate is a point of change where the influence of the tower on the earth increases, and conveys that a great inflection point has arrived] [ Susanoo Guild head Sachio Michimoto All challengers must work together to resolve the current situation. and rmended a request for cooperation] Its a mess. The rankings of real-time search terms on all portal sites are all focused on the current situation. Attention was focused on the demons appearing at the gate and the challengers involved in the Tower of Trials. That too is excessive. Realizing that the situation was more serious than I thought, I moved from the studio to the ce where I had an appointment with Lee Ha-yeon. And Its been a while. Mr. Seongyun I was waiting for you. I saw Lee Ha-yeon standing in the middle of a street where no one walked. It must have been a while since the tower sent a message to the chat window I never thought it would appear this fast. Not even that. I went up to the 17th floor and my skills improved that much. Lee Ha-yeons level of mana, which was affected by the senses, was unusual. Compared to when I was on the 17th floor before, it must be difficult I could feel that at least as one challenger, I had the minimum amount of strength. Perhaps at that level, wouldnt it be a level that couldpete with an A-ss hunter? But there was no room for admiration. Congrattions on reaching the 22nd floor. But I dont have much time. It was because Lee Ha-yeon said that with a tired face as if she was tired. In that, I saw the emotions that dwelled inside her. Nervousness, joy, worry, anticipation, etc. I was able to immediately understand her intentions because I felt so many emotions from her. Does not having time mean that the situation is that serious? and. thats right. There is no time. All I can tell you is that the world is in a very bad situation. Lee Ha-yeon pursed her lips with a mncholy face. Really, really A lot happened, but theres no way to exin it all. I was able to notice without hearing much about the situation from her. its okay. That the Tower had a great influence on Earth. That alone would suffice to exin the situation. I see Yes. So you can get straight to the point. Imfortable with that anyway. That sounds a bit upsetting, but at least I feel fortunate now. Lee Ha-yeon smiled as if she was a bit dumbfounded, and then put her hand on my shoulder. The American Hunter Association decided to gather all the ranker ss challengers. and. I will guide you there from now on. next moment. It has been designated as the casting target of the auxiliary magic < Teleport >. Moves to the designated coordinates by the auxiliary magic < Teleport >. Before I knew it, I was able to arrive inside a conference hall. *** The conference hall was bigger than I thought. It was as big as if it could amodate more than a hundred people. However,pared to its size, there were not many people inside the conference hall. The number of people will barely exceed double digits. Did he gather the best of the challengers from all over the world? In the current meeting room, there were people with magical powers that were iparable to Lee Ha-yeon. And there were some familiar faces among them. Right away Ah! you! Are you finally here? Its here, here! Catherine Bet was like that. Katherine Bet, who was sitting quietly at the head of the conference room, looked at me and smiled broadly and even waved. Its also very strong. It looks like a puppy weing its owner back from a trip. Seeing that, it bothered me that I went back to the tower without contacting her for some reason. I should have left a message, even if it was small But that was only for a moment. Seongyun-san Suddenly, a soft whispered voice came into my ear. Contrary to what you promised me, you climbed the tower silently and never contacted me properly Before I knew it, Lee Ha-yeon was on tiptoe and whispering to me. You must have had such a close acquaintance at the Tower? I dont know why, with a cold eye smile. Chapter 262 262. Earth (5) Originally, I made a simple promise to Lee Ha-yeon. But on Earth, shes no different than my partner. At least he said that he would reach out to her when he climbed the tower or returned to Earth. But so far I havent kept that promise properly. To the point where it feels really savage. -Contrary to what you promised me, you climbed the tower silently and never contacted me properly Is it because of your mood that the nape of your neck suddenly feels cold? It seems that you have such a close acquaintance at the tower? The words Lee Ha-yeon whispered with a small smile lingered in her mind. Uh And at the same time, when I saw her smiling brightly, my mouth closed tight. What should I do when this happens? To be honest, I wanted to gloss over it, but I couldnt because of the feelings I had for Lee Ha-yeon. I dont know why, but she was drawing feelings like anxiety or nervousness. In response, I shook my head for a moment and then pretended to be okay and said, This is how we got to know each other. yes. And what I couldnt contact was but. There must have been an unavoidable situation. dont be like that So, even when you came out of the giant treebyrinth, you didnt say a word to me, did you? Should I say its a counterattack that continues like flowing water? I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut like a mute who had eaten honey. It was worth it. Even then, honestly, I could have said a few words to her and climbed the tower. Especially when ites to partners who take care of all the troublesome chores every time theye to Earth. I just dyed it because I thought it would be a waste of time. Soon after that, the moment I try to make another excuse. I understand. There must be something else important to Sungyoon. I was just a little upset. Lee Ha-yeon scratched her cheek and said as if she didnt mean it. So lets sit down for now. There seem to be a lot of people who havent arrived yet. It felt like it was all a prank. Ah yes Seeing her natural gesture, I nodded naturally and followed her. And following her gestures, he sat down. But Its been a while! you! Is this the first time Ive seen you since the giant treebyrinth? Why is the ce she guided me to? Before I knew it, I was sitting in the middle between Lee Ha-yeon and Catherine Bet. Catherine Bet looked at me with a bright smile, but there was no time to answer. By the way It was justified. Who is the woman sitting there? Because Katherine Be let go of her eye smile at once and asked that question. Of course, the corners of her mouth are still drawing arc lines, but I didnt think I could see that as a bright smile like before. Just like a dog wagging its tail stiffly, wary of strangers. She, too, was smiling warily. hello? Lee Ha-yeon turned her head to that wary question and said with a smile. nice to see you. Catherine Bet. I am Lee Ha-yeon, the new guild leader of the Baekeun Guild. And Im also a top challenger in the 9th ce on the 17th floor. next moment. Perhaps I will be in charge of all of Sungyoons auxiliary activities She lightly put her hand on my shoulder and gave Catherine Be a deep smile. As much as possible, I will do my best to support Seong-yoon so that she never gets entangled with Catherine Be. For some reason, my head felt dizzy. *** A self-introduction that makes you feel cool even though you dont know where it is. Huh I dont know why, but it seems like something interesting happened? Iknow, right. hmm. Theres still plenty of time left for the meeting, but it wont be boring. What is that again? pestilence. As I live, I see all sorts of things. like an envious child. Some of the eyes in the conference room were focused on this direction. A gaze as if watching a fire in someone elses house. However, among the sudden attention, there were those who recognized it as a fire in their own house, not as a Buddhist scripture. Thats right Right Does that sound interesting? Catherine Bet was like that. She twisted her red hair with a trembling hand and drew an arc around her mouth. without a smile in the eyes. As it was, Katherine Bets blue eyes narrowed as she continued to speak. I didnt expect to meet someone who is famous for being an exploratory challenger here. What the hell is this all about? To think that his name is widely known as a searcher type challenger I was curious as the strange voice came and went as if it were natural. It was worth it. I also wonder if Lee Ha-yeon, who was suddenly in charge of the team leader, became the guild leader of the Baekeun guild Hearing that she became famous in less than a few months, I felt a sense of alienation. Was Lee Ha-yeon that good as a challenger? Of course, if you look at the mana that is felt in her body right now, you can roughly understand it. Even so, it was difficult to ept the changes that urred in a short period of time at once. Especially if its the growth of an acquaintance that I didnt think of. However, the sense of heterogeneity that had arisen in my head had to disappear as if it were separated somewhere. is that so? He would I never thought Id see Catherine Bet here. It is because Lee Ha-yeons face turned colder before she knew it. Ah, I never expected to see him act like an immature puppy. A cold expression that didnt match the voice that seemed to be praising. Thats why I noticed right away. That, in fact, was a high-level slicing, like a sword that hid a life. I couldnt figure out why it was turning around so suddenly. But I couldnt stay still like this. I dont know why youre doing this all of a sudden, but Ill have to mediate The moment I tried to mediate between the two. Immature puppy? Suddenly, a chilling voice came from the left. All of a sudden, Katherine Bets eyes were filled with emotionless, ck dead light. Its also very chilly. But that was only for a moment. She nced over here with her teeth clenched tightly, and then let out augh as ifughing. Huh Thats Ah-e to think of it, if you dont know what kind of colleague rtionship Sungyoon and I are, you can see it that way. The kind ofughter Ive never heard before. Really Nothing else Poor. It was a ridicule that winners often blow at losers. *** As Katherine Be let out a quiet sneer, the reaction came. It was nothing else, but the lines of the corners of her mouth that Lee Ha-yeon had been barely maintaining were distorted. very quickly too. Seeing that, Catherine Bet drew closer to me, smiled softly, and innocently said: Ummm Come to think of it. I havent heard from Seong-yoon about challenger Lee Ha-yeon, so it must be because of my mood, right? And that too in a very bright and bright voice. I dont think Im close with Sungyoon, but its okay if you give me moderate support. Calling him by his first name, Sungyoon, unlike the previous names he used to call him with loose ends. I didnt know why, but I didnt have the courage to ask the question outright. It was worth it. The emotions of these two sitting on the left and right were growing thick as if nervousness, anxiety, and hostility were mixed. As if being jealous. You dont seem friendly? What do you mean? No, thats right~. They still call each other by such hard names. hmm. Im sorry if Im mistaken. Its an illusion. And since we are all involved in business in the first ce, theres no way we can call it that lightly, right? Yes, yes. Since I only have a business rtionship with Sungyoon, I guess I havent heard anything about challenger Lee Ha-yeon. That cant be how good I was at assisting Mr. Seong-yoon theres no way I could. Lee Ha-yeon, who had been slightly pushed back in the war of nerves before she knew it, turned her gaze to me as if she was anxious. Her eyes glowed with desperation, as if pleading. Its also very bright. Sungyoon-san is that so? The eyes of a small animal on the verge of being abandoned by its owner. I had no choice but to open my mouth. and. its just that we havent had that kind of conversation with each other because we dont have time. After replying, I could see that Lee Ha-yeons face brightened noticeably. However, Katherine Bet began to notice her impatiently. He seemed to doubt whether his own guess was wrong. As I was watching it, a voice with an interesting tone suddenly rang in my ears. Exactly DHo. It was Damcheonwoo. DI heard that even slugs have a knack for rolling He let out a sarcasticugh as if the current situation was amusing. DHas something interesting happened that doesnt suit you? dont talk needlessly, just be quiet. -hate. Its been a while since Ive had such a fun thing. How can you just skip this? Then Id rather give you some advice that would be effective in this situation. Dck It seems foolish. At times like this, if you just keep quiet, half of the time will go. In a word, it meant to stay like this. And then I couldnt help butugh quietly. It was worth it. I had never experienced this kind of development in my entire life. Itd be easier to climb the tower. I never thought I would have to go through an unknown war of nerves as soon as I came to Earth. It seems like theyve never met each other, but I dont understand why they harbor feelings of jealousy But it was also difficult to mediate on this side. It seems to me that the reason why the two of them are jealous of each other for some reason now exists. More than anything, it bothered me that I didnt contact these two because I saved every minute and second even though I could contact them. Actually, its a big deal that I broke all these promises. Originally, it wouldnt have been strange even if I had heard bitter words over and over again. So, I had nothing to say. Because they have a lot of things tailored to me. But it couldnt be like this forever. Still, it would be better to mediate than to stay like this. The moment when they tried to stop fighting nerves by revealing their jealousy to each other. Isnt there apletely new drama now? A miracle-like variable appeared. I was told that he was a challenger for the number one ranking, so I tried to look at his face, but what kind of a bastard he is Its nothing else Suddenly, one of the challengers in the conference room said so. It was a provocation that would have been insignificant before, but at least now it doesnt feel so insignificant or annoying. It was worth it. A bug-like guy is a man in the grass, and he walks around with his neck tightened. Unlike the current situation, which cannot be dealt with with force Aplished the achievement Evasion of Arrogance. Agility increases by 3. Thats true Because this fight can be dealt with with force. He says something funny. Its very simple too. Chapter 263 263. God of battle (1) To be honest, the male challengers fight was very wee. It was worth it. Its easy to deal with what Ive been through countless times so far More than anything, it came to me that I didnt have to notice more between Catherine Be and Lee Ha-yeon, who growled at each other. really. The topic changes at really lucky timing. As he was quietly thinking that he was lucky, he heard a voice in his ear. Kuh-kuh. Its nothing else What? You say its fun? Hehe! What kind of assholes are there Imughing because Im dumbfounded. The male challenger, who suddenly had a fight, opened his mouth as if in response to what I said. A bravado about a guy who doesnt seem to have any rattlesnake. Maybe its not the original Hunter, but the challenger of the same difficulty level . That was true even considering the other persons ethnicity was a Westerner. It was someone I had never seen in the tower or even heard of in the chat window. But isnt that the case with others? Erik Challenger. As the president of the association, I warn you. Please refrain from saying anything that could cause a disturbance. The middle-aged man in the seat of honor barely said that while breaking out in a cold sweat. It was as if he was paying attention to the male challenger called Eric. I never thought the president of the Hunter Association would warn me with such a passive attitude Only then did I understand why a challenger named Eric behaved so carelessly. DHo He doesnt seem very useful. Surprisingly, the evaluation at this district level is good. For some reason, Eric was highly regarded here. At least to a degree close to the top ranks among the challengers at the Earth level. To think that someone who has not properly stored the magical energy in their body is treated so highly. To be honest, I didnt understand why everyone was looking at Eric. I cant feel the divine power, and the level of magic is less than the challengers I saw on the 20th floor. Among the challengers I saw recently at the tower, it could be said to be of the lowest quality. The articles I saw in themon area on the 21st floor were also stronger than that. That would make a very big difference too. But The president of the association. dont be so mean Anyway, thats a bitter baby will be useless. But you still have to follow the rules Ah thats really irritating. What are his rules? association president. You know how strong this body is, right? . It seemed that such a low-key challenger was rare here. Even if the guys gathered in this conference hall attacked with a single truck, it wouldnt be possible to injure this body, let alone defeat it? Otherwise, I wouldnt be able to say such things outright. It was a time when he was observing Eric with interest in his own way. Suddenly, I felt a surge of magic power in Catherine Bes direction. To be shallow. wound? Im sure itll be hard to hurt someone as shallow as you Its nothing else Its not just the wounds, its going to burn the whole of that vulgar body. Katherine Bets face was contorted with anger. Its also very serious. However, it was not so different from Lee Ha-yeons side. She red at Eric with her hands clenched tightly, then smirked. Do you think I can win by myself even if everyone doesnt gather together? It was as if if he said even one more word like this, it would turn into a real fight. In fact, Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon had feelings close to murder. And the other challengers in the meeting room also reacted quite loudly, if not as much as they did. That it sounds a bit harsh to hear it? Eric. Why do I have to say it so casually? So. what the. All the challengers gathered here look like idiots. Im dumbfounded. Hey there. Dont talk to me, stay as you are. Its no fun if youre unlucky like that. It was worth it. Erics behavior is turning the challengers here into enemies. However, Eric did not abandon his arrogant attitude. He looked around the meeting room once and said with a smile. The president of the association? I get it, I get it. I will refrain from saying anything that could cause a riot. But before that, I have something to suggest. Its a proposal. What else is that I told you. The guys here are useless. Ill prove it here, so give me all the rewards you give them. No, thats- And a special reward for that kid whos the first in the rankings and flirts with it. and. Because they are like climbers. Keep an eye on it. This is the 6th ce on the 19th floor the worlds best power. Eric, who dared to use the word worlds best, immediately released his magic. Deed!! In the blink of an eye, the moment when the mana that surged from his body began to pressurize the conference room. All the challengers clenched their teeth as if it was difficult even to sit down. Some even fell to the floor without being able to stay seated at all. Seeing this, Ericughed out loud as if he was having the most fun. Kuhuhhh! what is everyone? huh? Did you talk so much about a topic that you cant stand even this? A sneer formed on Erics lips. How bugs are messing around without knowing the subject. and. I dont think you have the skills to talk like that either. I said that while looking at Eric in an emotionless voice. her? Were you still holding on without falling down? what the. Enduring needlessly. It seems that I still havent been able to figure out the situation but it didnt matter. I made up my mind when I told the president of the association that I would have thepensation I should have. I think I need to use a little bit of strength to a guy who boasts with his skills. Now hold on moderately and hit your head on the floor And then. Divine < Words > are used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed when you use words that interfere with thews of the world. Uselessly force Do not use it and lie down on the floor and sigh. Next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Just like that, Erics body mmed downward as if breaking the floor of the meeting room. *** All of a sudden, the mana that spread throughout the conference hall disappeared. It was worth it. The power of the divine < Spirit > is not something that a challenger without divine power can withstand. He didnt bother using divine authority to prevent him from using his power. I didnt allow him to use his power at all, but for that kind of thing, the consumption of divine power is small. Still, a certain amount of divinity was assumed, but Is Erics skill worse than I thought? Surprisingly, the power consumption that went into making him unable to use any power and mming him to the floor was notrge. However, despite the low consumption of power, I liked the results. this! doggish! Turn it off! You son of a bitch! Wont you release this!? Erics face was flushed red and he was swaying with his head on the floor. A state in which the body is forcibly held by the divine < Soul Spirit >. So it wasnt strange that he had his head on the floor of the meeting room and was wriggling like that. Perhaps other challengers are no different, as long as they dont be an apostle of some godhead. Ah ah ah ah! This shitaaaaa! you are you! You son of a bitch hee hee hee!! So, I wasnt very impressed. Theres no way a challenger can resist the divinemand. But What else is that! You made Eric like that with just one word? Amazing. Is this the best challenger on Earth? her. Its amazing. Its amazing. I didnt expect to defeat a challenger on the 19th floor with a single word. All the challengers in the conference room looked at me with sparkling eyes. It feels like suddenly and unintentionally bing a star. At that, I nced at Eric, who was banging his head on the floor, and turned my head. Its nothing else The president of the association. She turned her attention to the president of the association, who had been embarrassed by Eric before. Looking at the middle-aged president of the association who was sitting at the top table, I said calmly. It looks like there are a lot of challengers now, so wouldnt it be okay to start a meeting? Ah yes. I think it will be fine though. First of all, challenger Eric no. that seems hard You never know when Erics challenger will use his strength again. . Did Eric catch some kind of weakness? The head of the association kept ncing at Eric, who was restless, hoping that he would release him. But I had no intention of listening to it. That would be the case Challenger Eric tried to harm the challenger here. He was trying to harm those here. Just because I dont like the fact that Im at the top of the rankings. And because of that, Katherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon were under great pressure. At least I had no intention of releasing him here. Thats And the president of the association was just watching it. But are you saying we have to free Eric Challenger? But, to resolve the current situation, Challenger Erics cooperation is indispensable No. You dont need that. Erics challengers strength isnt that great. To that, I quietly looked into the eyes of the president of the Association and said. If there is anything he needs to do in the current situation, I will take care of it. As Eric said he would take the payoff that would be given to me. If you promise to give me the pay you owe him. Now I thought of taking everything he was given. So, can you proceed with the meeting as it is? very strong too. *** Surprisingly, the situation did not be more annoying and was easily organized. Ha, I will follow the will of challenger Han Seong-yoon. I will rule out challenger Eric The president of the association, who was sitting in the top seat, answered that, breaking into a cold sweat. I will give all the rewards that should have been given to challenger Eric to challenger Sungyoon Han. Its as if youve done it this far and now you want to see it. Now it seems that the other side has realized who the really strong one is. But there were also things I didnt like. Its nothing else Why dont you say anything to challengers like Catherine Bet or Lee Ha-yeon? It was so that he spoke with utter exclusion about other challengers. Honestly, I dont care what the others are anyway I thought Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon should at least be given a reward. So, without hesitation, I told him exactly what was in my head. By the way, arent there any rewards for the other challengers? yes? Didnt you protect Erics challenger to the extent that you could see it with your own eyes? Then I think the people here should be held ountable. That too Ill ept it Yes Okay. This too could have been neatly epted. And I have something else to tell you I smiled contentedly at him and then went straight to the point. Im a little dizzy, probably because of Eric Challengers magical power. Ah yes! In that case, bring the best potions from us right away But I think it would be better to drink a special potion for this. yes? Its nothing different Random stat boost potion, designated stat boost potion, skill proficiency boost potion, etc . I think you should drink these special potions from the tower to relieve your headache. Ah uh After the fight is over, isnt it standard to get paid (?). If you give me the medicine as soon as possible, I will be grateful. Chapter 264 264. God of Battle (2) Drurreu. A stylish, portable storage cab squeaks into the conference room and stops in ce. There were several types of potions in the storage space of the mobile storage stand. Its nothing else I brought all the potions needed for the treatment of challenger Han Seong-yoon He brought all the special potions of the tower that he had secretly (?) requested from the president of the association before. Thats a lot more than you might think. It was almost obvious why he was doing this. Now theyre noticing me at all For some reason, its because Eric, a highly regarded challenger on Earth, was excluded. It was worth it. Eric, now with his head on the floor, would no longer be of any help to them. The president of the association also found out at the point of incapacitating Eric in one fell swoop. That I was needed to get rid of the gates rted to towers appearing all over the world. Eric can no longer be used, so he must depend on me now. Thats why the president of the association epted such a ridiculous request right away. It didnt bother me that the Hunter Association matched my mood. Anyway, the Hunter Association must have been paying close attention to the challenger named Eric. Thats why he couldnt stop Eric from doing crazy things while spewing his magic before. Id rather do this than watch out for a vicious challenger like Eric. After thinking about it, I smiled softly. I will gratefully ept these medicines given by the president of the association. Thanks to you, I think the headache will go away soon. And then, the potions in the storage stand that arrived at the seat were checked for each type. Skill proficiency increase potion Grade: C+ Special potion specially prepared by the tower for beings with skills. When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 10%. First of all , I saw a skill proficiency increase potion. As expected, this is also there. As always, the rank of the skill proficiency increase potion possessed by the Hunter Association was C+. Perhaps it was not easy to secure a grade beyond that. It was worth it. The value of the skill proficiency increase potion to a challenger climbing the tower is immeasurable. Thats why it was amazing to collect skill proficiency potions to this extent. There were even 4 C+ level skill proficiency potions. Can I get a 40% increase in skill proficiency with this? I felt very satisfied with that and took the skill proficiency increase potions. After returning to the towerter, Ill think about it and write it slowly. These are worth using after thinking through them. Specified stat increase potion Grade: C+ Special potion produced by the tower that can be used on all beings with ability. When taken, you can select one of the ability values and increase the corresponding ability by +1. Then, the designated stat-up potion went through confirmation. It was an intuitive effect. Like a skill proficiency increase potion, you dont even need to take care of it. Its not worth it to decide where to invest after thinking deeply about itter. You have consumed the specified stat-up potion (C+). Select the stat that will increase your level. You have taken the specified stat-up potion (C+) Drinking a designated stat-up potion (C+) Selecting a stat to raise a value As it were, he drank a total of 7 designated stat-up potions at once. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons durability increases by +7. Anyway, I was able to raise my abilities as much as I could with Necromancy. Its just that there arent many enemies that are high enough to bring about stat growth. After using designated stat potions like that, a new type of potion caught my eye this time. Random stat increase potion Grade: C+ Special potion produced by the tower that can be used on all beings with abilities. When taken, one of the ability points is randomly selected and increases by +1. It had no value. Ingestionplete. One of the stats increases by the random stat potion (C+). By the random stat potion (C+), Contender Han Seong-yoons magic power increases by +1. Random stat potion (C+). ), the strength of the challenger Han Seong-yoon increases by +1 The random stat potion (C+) increases the physical strength of the challenger Seong-yoon Han by +1 . Thats why the growth of ability is precious, but it wasnt enough to get excited about it. After all, from now on climbing the tower, the thing that will be used the most will be divine power. The stats were just to prepare the basic specs to climb the tower. Still, my stats have gone up a lot with this. Maybe at this point, isnt it the strongest challenger in the earth dimension with only one ability? After dealing with all the potions in the mobile storage rack, I was satisfied enough. It seemed that the other challengers did the same. Oh I thought the Hunter Association would pay for what Eric had done. I can take these well. Its not like a skill proficiency increase potion, but I think itll be a reward if its an item like this. ha ha ha! Isnt this all thanks to that big-hearted person! Sungyoon Han Challenger! Thank you very much! The challengers in the conference hall were satisfied with receiving the items given by the Hunter Association. Thats a very big word too. It was not much different from Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon. Each of them looked at the item they received and their eyes twinkled. A 10% increase in the output of me property magic. Its good. Seongyun. I will put this to good use. I never thought I would be able to get a search aid bracelet Thanks to Seong-yoon, I got a good one. Are the items given by the Hunter Association better than expected? Like a child getting a new toy. Katherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon each expressed their gratitude with bright smiles. To be honest, this wasnt given to me by the Hunter Association, but Thats what it is. After all, wouldnt this be a reward I wouldnt have gotten if I hadnt told you? Thats why I quietly epted their thanks. At that time, theplexion of the president of the association was darkened . Perhaps this is why all the reason to procrastinate the meeting is gone So Lets start the real meeting in earnest. Now its time to really get to the point. *** The current problems on Earth can be roughly divided into two. Still, is the president of the association aware of the seriousness of the current situation? As soon as he asked to start the meeting, he started leading the meeting with a firm face. The president of the association, who introduced himself as Joseph, continued talking quickly without wasting time. The first is that a demon species, a type of monster that appears in the Tower of Trials, has appeared. Joseph stretched out his index finger and said. This is a situation that cannot be overlooked. All demon species havebat powerparable to that of ss A. Although there are individual differences, it cannot be ignored that their fighting power is enormous. And Suddenly, his stiff face was covered with deeper thoughts than before. Above all, demons have intelligence different from other monsters. Thats not too surprising. So far, the demons Ive met while climbing the tower have deep intellect. Perhaps it is out of step with the monsters seen on Earth. Therefore, it means that the actualbat power is good enough to be regarded as an S-ss monster, not an A-ss monster. The second is that gates that create monsters appearing in the Tower of Trials have appeared. Joseph spread his index finger, then his middle finger, and said: Actually, this is the most serious problem. Orange gates appeared all over the world. Demons are rising there. Orange Gate. Certainly none of the gates ever observed had anything like that. Its even more so when the monsterse out even though the dungeon break hasnt happened. After hearing that, I raised my hand and asked a question. Did you find out what an orange gate is? no. There was no way I could find out. The orange gate was different from the ones Ive seen so far. Then what causes monsters to appear even though its not even a dungeon break? I dont know that either. However, there is one thing that the exploration hunters and challengers and rted schrs have found out. What if you found out? The gate involved in multiple creation of the orange gate is located in Las Vegas, USA. A gate involved in the creation of a gate? As he frowned, Joseph hurriedly lowered the screen in the conference room. Then, an image of a building observing the sky appeared on the screen. Perforation observed through variousplex facilities in the video. There was a ck gate that crackled as if there was noise. Its a ck gate over Las Vegas under real-time observation. and. Thats the culprit behind the orange gates all over the world. As I looked over the screen at the ck gate, Joseph continued. The US government and the Hunter Association are observing it in real time using various facilities but to be honest, there is not much to know. He nced at me breaking into a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice. Thats why I think I should lean on challenger Han Seong-yoon. For me? Yes. In return, I will give you a full rewardter. And if you want, you can take the challengers separately. Is that so. Whatever it was, it didnt matter. The reason I came to Earth from the beginning was to solve that ck gate. And I had to find out why such a heterogeneous gate appeared on Earth. If you step inside the gate, youll be able to get a rough idea of the situation. This is your chance to find out if it really is a trick yed by one of the deities. So I immediately nodded my head in agreement without hesitation. Joseph smiled broadly as soon as permission was granted. thank you. Han Seong-yoon, challenger. The US government and the Hunter Association will not forget this But Josephs words did not follow through. Jijijijijijijijik! Its nothing else Suddenly, a ck gate visible over the screen made a loud noise. Soon, the attention of the challengers in the conference hall was focused on the screen at once. [Has it finally arrived] Suddenly, a man with red horns appeared from the ck gate in the sky. Unlike demonic monsters, it looks like it has a proper outfit. He was also wearing a fancy suit like a nobleman in the Middle Ages. But thats not all thats unique. Is this a skill? Well, what kind of voice is that As one of the challengers in the conference room said The man in a suit with horns that appeared from the ck gate was different. It was worth it. A voice with an extremely high level was resonating through the speakers. Only then did I realize one fact. . Thats.. [Foolish things. listen I am a third-ss apostle who serves the god of battle. This is Kramache Lugnes. ] As you guessed, the situation that is currently happening in the Earth dimension is rted to me. [Who is your god?] The god of battle. The existence that had built up aplicated bad rtionship with each other while climbing the tower until now Now it was sending an apostle and openly dering war. Chapter 265 265. God of Battle (3) Kramash Lugnes. The rank of the apostle who suddenly appeared over Las Vegas was certainly high. Perhaps the level of divinity is contained in the voice, so it must be at least the level of the managers in the tower. Thats why Why did the tower let the god of battle do this? I couldnt understand it with themon sense that I had built up until now. It was worth it. Because all gods in the universe cannot escape the rules of causality set by the Tower. The deity could not directly harm a mortal unless the causal conditions for which the deity directly intervened were met. Even if Im an apostle of God, I cant escape from the order of cause and effect. Perhaps the apostle Kramash is not a god, but he is close to him. But is there anything wrong with the god of battle sending him to Earth? It definitely felt odd. Theres no way the god of battle paid the tower with holy power to get the right to intervene. The god of battle had previously consumed a great deal of holy power and was silent. If I had to ask, would it be a kind of lull? There was no possibility that the god of battle paid enough divine power to satisfy the causalw. At least not enough to send an apostle to Earth. Then, there is only one possibility left. No way Thew of cause and effect was established, allowing the god of battle to harm me directly. In the blink of an eye, countless questions arose in my head like a storm. There was no time to pay attention to them. Its nothing else ] Another high-pitched voice came through the speaker. Although the God of Battle is not an ancient deity, it is a being that has been around for a long time. Perhaps because of this, Kromache Lugnes, the official apostle serving him, was also of high rank. Kromache said while adjusting his clothes as if he were checking his outfit. [The god of battle wants your god. ] As it was, he said with his head slightly lowered in the air. Its like looking down on a being on the ground. But no one could say anything to him. To that extent, the divinity contained in Kromaches voice had considerable power. A tower manager or a slightly lower level. Thats why no one could say anything to him, so he stopped and listened to Kromache. [Dont tell me for sure. ] And. [This is an invitation to hell from the god of battle. ] Hearing his words, I couldnt help but frown. [The qualification to refuse was not given. ] It deserved it. Did the god of battle send me an invitation to hell? I dont know why its probably an invitation to hell, but it didnt seem like a metaphor or a metaphor. There was not too much emotion on the apostles face for provoking him like that. I was soon able to figure out some of the battle gods intentions. Could it be that hes trying to drag me into his ce and deal with it? Perhaps there is a reason why the god of battle does note directly. Still, there was a possibility that the rate of causality wasrgely unsatisfied. So he must have sent an apostle to invite him to his ce. Even if that wasnt the case, I felt that there was at least some benefit in calling me over there. You dont have to move as the other side wants. [The invasion so far has been the process of preparing for the invitation. But if you decline the invitation, the story will be different. ] But [Ill give you two days. Until then, bring the god you worship. If not I will make you pay for it. ] Kromache said that as if he knew that. [Waiting for God toe himself here. ] And then, the figure of Kromache disappeared as if it was blurring. Its also very neat. Now he hid himself as if he had finished what he had to do. Only then did the challengers in the conference hall slowly show off their faces and let go of tension. Huh. what the hell is that. I never thought there would be such a thing. Its really creepy. God? Did there exist gods on Earth? Are you talking about Buddha or Jesus? I dont think so. Youre probably referring to beings rted to the tower. Whether it be a parable or a metaphor. Is it because there are few people with divinity? Among the challengers gathered in the conference hall, few understood Kromaches words. As I watched the contestants exchange words, I quietly continued my thoughts. I thought about what to do. The invitation sent by the god of battle is like an invitation to hell. However, going in there is the same as going in on your own even though you know its a trap. But, for some reason, I didnt feel the rejection. Now that Im a real god, I dont think Ill be pushed too far. It didnt matter if the god of battle was an existence that had been around for hundreds of years. It was worth it. Its because Ive realized something while fighting against those with divinity. Now I know that I have enough strength to win against the godhead. Then theres no need to refuse the invitation. There was even a clear reward in preparation for the risk. The divine power gained by defeating those who serve the god of battle must be important. But there was a reward that was even higher than that. It is no different than the divinity of the god of battle. Depending on how I pass this, it could be an unexpected chance. And maybe you can get another one out of this. It was when I finished thinking like that. Suddenly, Katherine Bet on the left tapped her shoulder with her finger. She put on a most serious expression and then whispered in my ear. Ive been thinking about it maybe there really is a God on Earth. Seongyun. So, the god of battle must have found our god. I blinked once and looked at her. Katherine Bets blue eyes were shining like stars. It seems like youve made a great discovery. No, I already know that. I had to realize a certain fact when Iughed a little inwardly at him. Come to think of it, all the challengers from Earth dont know much about divinity. Most of the people here right now dont believe in the existence of God. It was worth it. There are only a handful of people who have actually experienced a godhead. At least, Catherine Be has a history of being chosen by the Gods of Darkness and has seen the gods herself, so its easy to say that. So it seems difficult to convince the existence of God Ah. It was then. Suddenly, an idea shed through my mind like a sh of lightning. Most of the people on Earth dont know about the existence of a Godhead? Now, the fact came to me even more, and I was shocked. Why did I just think of this? If so, cant you take advantage of this to make a big profit? Maybe I can be the god of the world with this. Immediately, my eyes sparkled and I saw the meeting room where the heated discussion continued. Joseph, the president of the Hunter Association, and the challengers who continue the conversation with him stand out. I watched him for a while, then looked in the direction where Joseph was and spoke to him. President of the association. I have something to tell you is that okay? of course. Even if it wasnt, we had to discuss the current situation no. It doesnt have to be. I can handle this situation. what is that? I think I can solve the ck gate. As soon as I said that, Lee Ha-yeon, who was right next to me, startled and stopped me. Mr. You dont have to. Theres no need to take the risk alone like that Perhaps he knows that Im trying to take responsibility for the current situation. Her worries were unfounded. It was worth it. Because its not like Im taking a risk just like this. Its not like bravado, I can really handle it. Joseph drank once and then opened his mouth. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. can you really do it? If so, this is an opportunity to use the challengers strength elsewhere. Even if it wasnt, the demons appeared and the chaos didnt stop. It would be beneficial if valuable resources like Challengers could be used elsewhere. Joseph is well aware of that, so he reveals his expectations. In fact, there was also the power that I showed him. its possible. Then But there are conditions. condition? But I also had something to gain. I need to be able to film myself fighting in real time and upload it to the site. Nothing else Thats my condition. With this, I will be the god of the earth. *** The ragtube. In fact, the worlds most used video tform. A lot of people upload videos and a lot of people postments. Even as it is a video tform, it also has the function of amunity, somunication was active. It was originally a multi-purpose site, but it is now in a state of chaos.

It is currently making a lot of noise due to the apostles appearing in Las Vegas, USA. The appearance of demons rted to the tower was not enough, and even the existence of an apostle appeared. Allmunities that couldmunicate with each other became a mess, and the Ragtubemunity was no different. Until a real-time live suddenly started. [? meme? A real-time live show appeared on the official channel of the US Hunter Association? Whats that?] [Huh? Did you go live? At the Hunter Association? Are you trying to exin something? What the hell is it?] [Looking at it now, does the live show look like Las Vegas?

Chapter 266 266. God of Battle (4) Challenger Han Seong-yoon. If you were to pick the most mysterious challenger in the world right now, nine out of ten would pick Han Seong-yoon. The cause was simple. The number of times Han Seong-yoon has revealed himself on Earth can be counted on his hands. Despite being the highest ranked challenger on the Hard difficulty level, it is mysterious enough to hide itself. Thats why-.

It was worth it. Han Seong-yoon, who had almost lived in the tower until now, prepared a raid live. It suddenly went live on the American Hunter Association channel. Han Seong-yoon, who disappeared after kicking out a challenger from the other world in Japan, appears like this? He couldnt help but be interested in whoever he was. and. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon?

No need to point out other guys, Han Sungyoon is as good as Erics challenger hahahahahaha they are called Koreans haha hahaha In the blink of an eye, Ragtubes bulletin board became a mess. Stories about Han Seong-yoon, as well as the Las Vegas apostle incident, were constantly pouring out. It was worth it. The apostle serving the god of battle that has now appeared in Las Vegas is an unusual situation. However, since Han Seong-yoon, a mysterious challenger, appeared there, there was no way to be quiet. People who heard the news from all over the world turned their eyes to Han Sung-yoons live. < Number of viewers: 3.79 million > < Number of real-timements: 99871 > . < Number of viewers: 3.99 million > < Number of real-timements: 181712 > . < Number of viewers: 4.41 million > < Number of real-timements: 292712 > . People gathered for different reasons. Some wanted to see the report of the situation by the American Hunter Association, while others wanted to confirm the true value of Han Seong-yoon, and some entered the live just for fun. Indeed, in such a short time, people gathered. and. [Title: Challenger Han Seong-yoon] -0 seconds left until start of live. C End live standby.

Because Han Seong-yoon was standing on the live screen that was printed out before I knew it. And that too, wrapped in a very brilliant golden divinity. Even if you dont have knowledge about it, any mortal can know it. That power that dwells in the splendid divinity transcends the human category. as soon as. Aplished the achievement First Deity Appearance. All stats increase by 10. As a god of transcendence, he released his power. *** The divine authority Apotheosis is activated. Acquires the position of < God of Death > during the activation time of Apotheosis. It bes possible to exercise divine authority ording to the potential divinity. Thetent divinities are < transcendence > < death > < immortality > < reversal > < observation > < discipline > < harmony > < words > < protection >. [ . ] The power of apotheosis was activated, and the divine power in the heart shook. Divinities < Transcendence > and < Death > take half and half ces, revealing each others presence. The power as the god of transcendence and the power as the god of death drew a boundary line and were divided. I had to roll my eyes at him. Even if the two of them get the Divinity together, the divinity still cant be harmonized. A feeling as if oil was released into a bowl of water. Like the god of despair, fall, and madness, I wondered if it would be possible to use two Shinmyeong at once It seemed impossible to do so. The power is still not mixed, as if something has not been met. Its a pity. I didnt know if I could use the power of concept control at the same time. In that case, he could have killed all beings at once by oveying the divine < Transcendence > on the divine < Death >. I felt really sorry. But unfortunately, it was only for a moment. Not different The authority reaping faith detects a certain concentration of faith in the user. The Authority Reaping Faith is activated. I harvest my faith in you. Suddenly, faith took hold in my heart. [ . ] At that, I slightly turned my head and looked at the back side of the roof of the building. There were challengers, each holding a filming equipment. Perhaps the real-time live over there triggered the Faith Harvest. To some extent, it is not so strange because it is an attempt to arouse faith. only. Not enough. Its just a pity that the faith that flows into my body is unattractive. It was worth it. All Ive shown you so far is just apotheosis. Not to the extent that people in the world send me faith. so. The Authority Wings of Steel is activated. Now it is your turn to carry out the proper procedures to be a god of the earth. Wind Spirit Boots (A+) exclusive effect Wind Road is activated. Whoa-! Confirming that faith is gathering, I immediately kicked the floor of the building. Then, by activating authority and item-specific effects, he quickly headed for Las Vegas. Not different To the ce where there is a ck gate where the apostle serving the god of battle appeared. and. Jijijijijijik! Suddenly, the distance from the ck gate was running out, and something happened. [Has the strange thing finally arrived? ] Suddenly, empty space was torn apart, and a person he had already seen appeared there. [God of Earth. waited I am a third-ss apostle who serves the god of battle. Kramash Lugnes. you already know ] Kramash Lugnes. In fact, a being with power simr to that of the tower manager had appeared. He paused in the air for a moment and continued talking while adjusting his clothes. [I dont want to waste my time on a guy like you. poor god Just like this, quickly go to the invitation ce] however. [Thats cheeky. ] There is no need to listen to him anywhere. Even more so now that I have be a god in the true sense of the word. But does Kramache not think so? His thick eyebrows twitched, then frowned in displeasure. [ dont get me wrong. little god you were just invited Its not against me either. ] [ . ] [Are you doing this because you think youre just ruling a minor dimension? to be anxious. ] [That sounds very interesting. ] At this point, its no different from a gag. Even though Im only a 3rd-ss apostle, Im sure my opponent can overwhelm me? Perhaps even if he had not officially attained divine status, the apostle in front of him would not have been able to do that Looking at it like this, it seemed that I couldnt quite grasp the subject. After hearing Kramashs words, Iughed at him and said, [I will return the words as they are. Kramash Lugnes. you are nothing to me ] and. [You can kill with just a few words. Its so insignificant and insignificant. ] The moment you finish saying that. [On the subject of an insignificant god] Kramashs face showed cold rage, revealing his icy eyes. [I guess I need to tell you the difference in rank at least once. ] Not different [If you hasten death, I will punish you. ] Red divinity was flowing from him before he knew it. [To everyone here. ] next moment. The light of destruction falls by the Apostle Authority Hel Meteor Strike. Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa !! Right in the sky, an orb of bright red light fell as if it was about to destroy everything. Roughly speaking, it could cover all of Las Vegas. There was even a special name, Apostle Power, unlike the authority seen so far. Its probably a sphere of destruction greatly inted with divinity Its suitable. It was pretty good. At this point, its at least worth getting rid of. To consume the content of the current live live. really It is a scene with an impact that will be sent to all over the world, and it fits perfectly. Thats why I felt happy and put on a faint smile. [ Roughly, I blow up a few cities and let it start. It seems stupid. If Im going to resent you, Ill resent your ignorant mouth] Right before Kramashs smirking words continued, I immediately raised my hand. [Good. Even if it wasnt, there was something I wanted to check. now i can tell ] and. [How strong is the remnant of the native deitys power. ] The exclusive effect Distortion is activated. Consumes divine power to cause distortion in the designated space. The designated space that causes more than a certain amount of distortion will disappear. The power gained from previous battles with native deities was activated through the medium of divinity. Deed deed deed!! At the same time as the exclusive effect was activated, the red sphere could be twisted immediately. Did he twist and fix the space itself in ce? Without being able to do this or that, the light of the red divinity was stuck there. Seeing that, Kramashs face hardened and negative words came out. [What is this! This is divine power! Even with the power to manipte space, it cannot be stopped. ] However, his insignificant words were immediately denied. [ no. can stop ] Kkwajijijijik!! Divine power was consumed and the distortion of space elerated. no. Can we call this a twist now? The absurd appearance, as if trying to destroy the space itself. Suddenly, the red light, imbued with the power of destruction created by Kramash, was distorting. Its also very miserable. [What the heck is this.] Whoops-! As soon as Kramashs face turned pale, I immediately suppressed the red light. The feeling of despair grows quickly when you do it this way. The red light, imbued with the power of destruction, distorted the space greatly and disappeared as it was. Quietly, as if he hadnt been there in the first ce. Aplished the achievement Worlds Best Star. All stats increase by 1. With this, the content is roughly finished. [ Kramash Lugnes. ] so. [Do you understand the gap between you and me now? ] Now is the time to put an end to the show. [What the hell is this How can a person who has just attained divinity do something like this] And at the same time, its an opportunity to test your newly acquired power. The divine power exclusive List is activated. You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m. The beings on the list of deaths approach death every minute and be greatly weakened. Anyone who continues to fight for more than 44 minutes while being listed in the Shinigami list will be eroded by the divine < Death >. Chow rock! [I dont know. Kramash Ragnes. If you do something bad, you should be paid appropriately. ] As soon as I activated the divine power, a ck book appeared right in front of me. A ck book that unfolds by itself even if you havent touched it. The moment he gently reached out his left hand and touched the book. Designationplete. The 3rd-ss apostle Kramashu Lugnes has been registered in the list of deaths. The power of the god of death begins to act on Kramache Lugnes. Divinity < Death > can easily erode the designated target. The power in the form of a book responded to my will. [A big deal? I am! I just followed the will of the God of Battle to send you an invitation! ] and. [Enough. ] Right away, I interrupted Kramash and then invoked divine power. Divine < Spirit > is used. By consuming divine power, you can influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed by themandments that interfere with thews of the world. Just die. and. Use Divine < Death >. You can control the death of everything that has been eroded by the divine < Death >. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Just like that, Kramashs body was split in half and met his death. *** American Hunter Association. Joseph, who was left in the meeting room on the top floor, was trembling wildly. He looks like a very frightened child. But Joseph didnt care much about it. It was worth it. Because Han Seong-yoons live performance is currently being disyed on the screen in the conference room. And those who saw it couldnt help but tremble. In fact, the remaining members of the Association in the conference room were frozen. Even as terrified as Joseph. That Joseph murmured in a trembling voice. Thats really the same person? Joseph was a man who prided himself on knowing his challenger well. It was because he had learned a lot of information from various parts of the tower while using numerous challengers as his limbs, even if he was not a challenger. So Joseph immediately realized. That is not the strength that a challenger who climbs the tower can have. no. In the first ce, that was not allowed to a human being. That thing that thing is just a monster now In fact, it wasnt even his idea. Oh oh The Transcendent One The Transcendent One The Transcendent One has arrived. Is there really such a thing as a god? Heh heh. what the hell is this does not make sense. Each person in the conference hall had different feelings. Worship, fear, denial, joy, worry, etc Indeed, many emotions intersected and made them think a lot. Even in the storm of emotions, Joseph was a man of concern. Joseph also noticed the level of Meteor that appeared roughly in the sky over Las Vegas. Im guessing itll be able to blow up the whole area, including Las Vegas. However, Han Seong-yoon got rid of such a meteo in less than a minute. Its also very neat. I cant possibly see that as a human domain Even Kramash, who casually created such a Meteor, was killed instantly. It was so terrifying that Joseph could not control his trembling. He deserved it. Killing Kramash wasnt a skill or a powerful sword. To be able to kill such a monster with just a few words Suddenly, Joseph had to think of the military Eric Challenger like a colt from earlier in the conference room. At that time, he listened to the meeting while being pinned to the floor by Han Seong-yoon. Previously, he thought he was just overweight. But not anymore. Perhaps Erics challenger could have been killed right then by Han Seong-yoon. Han Seong-yoon had the power to turn the earth into a mess if he put his mind to it. But he didnt do that and tried to proceed with the work as moderately as possible. It was only now that I could realize what a great blessing it was. Joseph quietly looked away and saw a chat window popping up on one side of the screen. < Live chat window > -What crazy Me Meteor is gone? What is this? -Is this CG? yes? How could a person do something like this C Seeba?; No what the hell is this?; No, whats the real deal? -no. Rather than that, just die is how he killed the enemy. Squeeze and y Go-Stop or something like that..? -Arent you really a god? -B refrain from fucking. Can there really be a god? Dont be fooled. This is just CG. -Nope haha~ The ck head of a goldfish that speaks CG haha Is this CG?mon sense? Is it the official channel of the American Hunter Association? -No, there are even a lot of videos taken from the Las Vegas side. this isnt all fake it really happened -Then, did someone really delete Meteor and kill the apostle with just a few words? Thats even creepier; Joseph pressed his temples while watching the live chat window. I dont know if Han Seong-yoon is a real rookie, but at this rate, its certain that Han Seong-yoon will be a god. Currently, viewers of Ragtube believe in the power of Han Seong-yoon as if it were a fact. I saw a fight thatsted only a few minutes. So, what will happen if they see Han Seong-yoons true powerter? Joseph thought so, and soon smiled dejectedly. God of Earth And he was sure. Now everything will change. The future of the Earth from now on is cataclysmic. Its really the worst It will also be stained with iparable chaos. *** In an instant, system messages appeared before my eyes. The achievement Legendary Transcendentalist has been achieved. All stats increase by 4. You have achieved the achievement Savior of the Earth All stats increase by 4 I achieved the achievement Broadcasting Genius All stats increase by 1 Numerous achievements have been achieved and abilities have soared, but Actually, this is not a very important reward. All stats are now definitively over 1000. Its not worth more than that. The main point was different. It is being followed by many people in the earth dimension. Faith harvest efficiency is greatly increased. as soon as. You can be the god of the earth when you harvest a certain amount of faith at the earth level. When you be the god of Earth, you can acquire the divine < Earth >. It was like that, given the opportunity to be a god of the earth. With this, I will soon be a real god of the earth. I wasnt aiming for this, but Still, bing a god in a world where you can gain faith in a fixed way was not something to be taken lightly. It is even said that if you be the god of the earth, you will obtain the divine < Earth >. It will take some time to truly be a god of the earth. Even that was only something that could be obtained after a few active performances. Perhaps, after visiting the Earth a few times, you can be the god of the Earth. Im looking forward to it. The moment I smile while feeling the pleasant beat of my heart. You have absorbed themand of the 3rd ss apostle Kramashu Lugnes. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the native godhead brings him 1.7% closer to the 2nd Ascension. Suddenly, an unexpected system message appeared. [ . ] The message of absorbing the apostles spirit was not important. After all, its amander, so if you kill the opponent, you get it right away. However, the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > under it was different. [Second Ascension] Only then did I realize How highly valued is the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >. And what the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence > really means. [Can I ascend again? ] < Possibility of Transcendence >. Despair, fall, and a myth gained while fighting against the god of madness. This was truly the supreme power that transcended even the godhead. Chapter 267 267. God of battle (5) Ascension. This has already beenpleted once after a fierce battle with an apostle who originally served an ancient deity. It was worth it. Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > allows you to defeat an unbeatable enemy and makes you stronger just by winning. At that time, I definitely became a god of transcendence through ascension. The power as a godhead, which was only a fake, became real with the ascension. Thats why I thought Ascension would be obsolete and no longer usable. But it wasnt. I smiled at the system message that popped up in front of me. Its nothing else Absorbed themand of the 3rd-ss apostle , Kramashu Lugnes. System message saying you got . Of course, only 1.7% of the ascension was filled . Being able to go through another ascension was worth it. What I gained through ascension was the power as a god of transcendence. It was worth it. Then, the power to be obtained when the 2nd Ascension is fulfilled is also determined. ancient deity. Because it is possible to cross the gap that does not seem to be narrowed even after stepping into the realm of divine power. I dont know if I can really get the power of an ancient deity. But at least I knew I would get somethingparable. In fact DThis nonsense It cant be believed that the power of an ancient deity Damcheonwu, who dwells in the blood-heaven demon sword, was shocked and muttered that. DTo think that even if you build up your strength as a godhead over tens of thousands of years, you can reach an unattainable level just by winning Damcheonwu smiled dejectedly as if he had lost his words now. -Its really amazing. I nodded my head and agreed. [Maybe this will help me. ] DI guess so. In the first ce, it was nothing else, it was to increase the power of the godhead. Theres no way it wont be strong [It is. ] DBut you have to be careful. Maybe if the other gods find out about this your life could go out like a candle. [ . ] Hearing it, he was right. Come to think of it, other deities might try to keep me in check. As Dam Chun-wu said, the god of battle was just the beginning, and there was a possibility that other deities would appear. That too with a very high probability. Perhaps it will be even more so if you learn about the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >. Even if its a small probability, the gods will feel the crisis and try to kill me. But that doesnt mean it cant be stopped. I had no choice. I wasnt under too much psychological pressure. I had assumed to some extent that I would have to deal with the gods anyway. There is no need to stress unnecessarily. However, the fact that a divinity entered the earth still bothered me. As long as its not an invasion of Earth, everything else doesnt matter. So The special power Create Divine Realm is activated. Consumes challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create the divine realm < Transcendence >. You should be prepared to some extent. That way you can feel psychologically stable. Even if it is not, the god of battle cany his hands on the earth at any time. It was right to have at least a minimum safety device in ce. As soon as I finished thinking like that, I immediately channeled the divine power through my fingertips and created a divine realm. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Brilliant golden divinity spread throughout the city and covered the whole area with divine power. And the wave of divinity does not stop as it is, permeates the earth and spreads over a wider range. Rather than specifying a sacred area in one ce, it is to spread divinity throughout the earth. Perhaps if you did this, you could see the effect of the divine realm anywhere, even if it was a minimal effect. In ces where there is a divine realm < Transcendence >, the body and mind do not suffer from lethargy. In ces where there is a divine realm < Transcendence >, all growth rates increase by 100%. All kinds of injuries recover quickly. However, the creation of the Holy Land does not end there. Its not enough to prepare for an invasion with this. The divine realm of < transcendence > cannot rule out the external divinity at all. Of course, to some extent, it can prevent the god from using its power. How far that will work is close to unknown. If so, it creates another divinity area where divinity cannot function. Kii-i-i-ing! Consuming a small amount of challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create the divine realm < Death > . The red divinity swayed like a wave and stretched out. Brilliant light and dark light mix half and half as if theyplement each other. When I saw that, I was relieved. Achievement Protection has been aplished.] The grade of the special power Create Divine Realm (B+) will grow to Create Divine Realm (A). . ] Now the earth is in a state that is different from a kind of sacred zone. Although a lot of divine power went into the creation of the divine realm Is it because of absorbing the divine power by defeating countless opponents? It wasnt too much of a burden because he had obtained the divine power of Kramash before, and now the amount of divine power had increased considerably. At least it wasnt enough to interfere with the battle, so it was quite satisfactory. [Its quite usable. ] Even creating a divine realm, the amount of faith flowing into me increased. Ill be able to increase the number of followers a lotter by designating a follower. I smiled lightly at him and headed towards the ck gate. Most of what needs to be done on Earth has been taken care of. So You have entered the sacred realm < Hell''s Arena >. Now its time to end the bad rtionship with the god of battle. *** same time. The challengers who were summoned to the American Hunter Association were scattered to different ces. It was worth it. Although Han Sung-yoon went to Las Vegas to deal with the ck gate, there are still a lot of problems. Even if challenger Seongyoon Han clears the ck gate, the orange gate still remains. Joseph confirmed Han Seong-yoons strength and quickly distributed power. Currently, only hunters or challengers can kill the monsters pouring from the gate. Even if you fire missiles, you cannot kill the demon species flowing out of the orange gate. So it was difficult to deal with all the orange gates in the US. Even among the challengers, there are only a handful of people who can handle the demon species. Because of that, the American Hunter Association left the ck gate to Han Seong-yoon and ced all manpower elsewhere. Even so, I didnt expect it to be deployed so quickly Catherine Bet, who arrived in San Francisco, grumbled. She was aware of the seriousness of the situation. Currently, the orange gates appearing all over the world are a nuisance to all countries. Among them, it was a situation where manpower could not be wasted in the United States, where gates were crowded to the extent of being the most serious. So, it was right to use a valuable manpower like her as soon as he was summoned. Still, I wanted to see Sungyoon a little more. Even so, Katherine Bet expressed regret. And Lee Ha-yeon, who came with her, was no different. Lee Ha-yeon nodded in agreement with Catherine Bets muttering. I will. Seeing Seong-yoon fighting himself is really rare but its a pity. Lee Ha-yeon said that with a sullen face, as if she was really sorry but there were some who didnt. Those who saw the power of Han Seong-yoon in the meeting room and harbored a sign of distrust at all. Among them, one male challenger frowned fiercely. Seeing that I wanted to see more of it, the taste went away. Do you really think thats real? He let out a worried sigh and said. Theres really no way a person can get rid of such an existence with just a few words. Katherine Bet narrowed her eyes and red at him. Then you dont think its real? Even if you see the power in front of your eyes So it is in denial. Even if you are the same challenger, there are limits. It might be a power with tricks. Thats what else It means that you cant say that what you see is everything. He put the blue spear in his hand on his shoulder and looked around. Im guessing Im not the only one here who thinks that way? Actually To be honest I dont want to believe it. that. I dont feel like a person anymore. I agree. Whether its a skill or authority. You cant be that strong. Common sense. Either that, or it could have been a skill or authority that made people mistaken for that kind of power. Among the challengers, there were some who made unreasonable ims. But there were also those who did not. All those who truly believed in the power Han Seong-yoon had shown frowned. And soon, he spoke as if to refute their unreasonable im. It sucks. Seriously, how did these bastards climb the tower? I hope its not the same number of floors. Seeing that you cant believe it even after seeing it, it looks like theres something wrong with your head? You tricked me with skill or authority? What bullshit is this again? Conspiracy theories should be moderated. Those who epted Han Seong-yoons power as it is and those who did not were divided. The challengers who were divided like that had a brief war of words with each other. But that didntst too long either. Its not different Ha! then? So is Han Seong-yoon bing a god? These are not idiots! Its because one of the challengers made such a noise. If Han Seong-yoon really had that much power and was a god, he would have protected the earth a long time ago! Thats Theres no such thing as a god. And there are no godlike powers. It must be just a delirium-type skill. To be honest, that was just a stretch. However, the challengers could not immediately deny his words. Because they cant really be sure that Han Sung-yoon has god-like powers. But that was only for a moment. It doesnt mean that Mr. Seongyun is a god. It just has enough power to be thought of. And if Seongyun is a god, is there anything strange about it? If its the top, it can be like that The moment Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon refuted as if crying. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Suddenly, a loud reverberation spread across thend, and transcendental power was felt. Its also very powerful. As the saying goes, even if it rots, its Junchi In the end, the challengers who felt the power quickly changed their attitude and prepared for battle. Katherine Be also had to pull up her strength, frowning. But soon she frowned and rxed. I cant believe this It was just like that. The divine realm < Transcendence > is activated. You can continue < Transcendence > through faith in the challenger Han Seong-yoon. The divine realm < Death > is activated. Faith regarding the challenger Han Seong-yoon. < Death > can be sustained through this. Because the message that appeared in front of her eyes before she knew it knew that this was not the enemy. And at the same time, the faces of the challengers who saw the system message turned pale. That too is very miserable. A divine realm? Its nothing else There really is such a thing as God? Now even the distrust of Han Seong-yoon has been denied. *** You have entered the holy realm < Hell''s Arena >. As soon as you pass through the ck gate, the scenery changes. I immediately checked the environment with a nce. Does the sacred realm live up to its name < the arena of hell >? Its like hell. Its the same with the red mes flying here and there. Even that was not enough, about 80% of the area was filled withva. It seemed that they made it so that they could not run away except for the ce where they would really fight. It looks as if it would be like this if there was a real arena in hell. And [Are you finally here? ] On the red stone ground, there was a half-naked man with red skin and ck horns. Even with the red divinity wrapped around it. Thats why I noticed right away. [ Waited. ] Its nothing else [Challenger Han Seong-yoon.] Thats the god of battle. Chapter 268 268. Cadence (1) God of battle. Among the deities who umted bad ties while climbing the tower, he was uniquely unfriendly. Is it because he has a personality that only works when he suppresses his opponent? I had never had a good rtionship with him before. Perhaps the bad rtionship with the god of battle is greater than the god of despair, fall, and madness. Thats why seeing the god of battle in person like this gave me a new feeling. It was worth it. The gap with the Godhead that I even thought I would never be able to ovee. It was because they had crossed the gap that seemed impossible to close and reached the arena of the duel on equal footing. [ . ] And. You will be unable to escape due to the effect of the sacred realm < Hell''s Arena >. All means of moving outside of the sacred realm < Hell''s Arena > are excluded. The sacred area < Hell''s Arena > is mutually In a 1:1 duel between the two, only one winner remains before it copses. Now, I know that the bad rtionship with the god of battle wille to an end here. Reading the system messages that popped up in front of me at once, I raised my head. The god of battle looked at me and smiled. Its like its not even funny. [Khehehe! Even though youve killed my apostle, you still dare toe here Are you really a fool? ] It was as if he had seen a most delightfuledy. Perhaps the god of battle thought I hade here without even knowing that I was in a trap it wasnt like that. I already knew that the god of battle would be preparing something here. However, I entered here on my own volition. Its a golden opportunity to defeat the god of battle. It would be foolish not toe here. It was worth it. A chance to deal with the Gods of Battle, who have bumped into each other again and again? Even if you assume a certain level of risk, it is inevitable that it will end like this. Even more so when you think of the divinity you gained from defeating him. Even if he were to suffer damage, it would be right to defeat the god of battle right here. So I wasnt shaken by the words of the battle god. [I already know that this is a trap. ] And. [ haha! Did you know that you came all the way here? Theres no such thing as an idiot] Within moments, the god of battle grinned. [Its not worth it. ] As if to cut off his words, I immediately opened my mouth. [God of battle. A prey like you came directly after a long time] And with a very deep smile. [Isnt it a waste to just let it go? ] The god of battle frowned for a moment as if he was dumbfounded, and then continued. [ under! Are you saying youve taken off the mortal t-shirt now? You sound cocky. ] As if he heard a low-quality joke. [But its true. ] But I said it with a smirk this time too. [This rotten bastard! Its a pierced mouth, and you can speak as you please] Watching the face of the god of battle decay, I continued talking as if I cut off his voice. [ A formal divinity that earned each other formally. Then theres nothing you cant fight against. ] And. [Garbage is a new chick that has just recently gained a new name. Do you dare to say that it is equal to this body? ] next moment. [If so, let me know. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. How insignificant is your strength. And about what the years umted as a godhead mean. ] Dark divinity flowed out like steam from the red skin of the god of battle and spread. Deed! The power of the godhead weighed heavily on the air in the blink of an eye. Perhaps from now on, it seems that they are trying to put pressure on this side in earnest I could see why the battle god was so confident. Before I knew it, I felt tension running down my spine. The power is so incongruous It never reached the level of an ancient deity. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that the standard level of godhood has already been exceeded. The god of battle, to put it bluntly, stands on the borderline between an ancient deity and an ordinary deity. And, as the god of battle said, it could be difficult for me, who had just be a god, to handle. It must have been that it wasnt unfounded confidence. But [Because this side isnt that weak either. ] It could be said that this side was simr. There was a reason why he dared to enter the sacred realm prepared by the god of battle. I immediately focused my thoughts on him and aroused the power of the myth that was dormant in my heart. Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +151. Special buff < Matcher > is activated. This will greatly decrease. Whoa! Even so, the difference between the ranks was not huge. If that were the case, there wouldnt even be a fight between them. Its just that I felt a sense of crisis because I was approaching an ancient deity. The moment the divinity imbued with the power of the mythical < Reversal Hero > envelopes the body. The opponents attitude, which had weighed on his shoulders until now, was easily scattered like a lie. The god of battle opened his eyes wide in surprise, and I held the twin swords in my hand with a deep smile. [ you! ] Even if it wasnt, I was curious. [No surprise. ] How far can I draw strength in a battle with a true god? [Because the real thing will start now. ] So [Lets see the end of one of them here. ] From now on, it was time to risk each others everything and fight. *** As soon as we confirmed each others rank, the battle immediately began. There is no reason to waste time with trivial talk. In response, I used the Godhead-only power that I used to kill Kramash just before. Right away The divine power exclusive power List is activated.] You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m. It will be destroyed. Anyone who continues to fight for over 44 minutes while being listed on the death god list will be eroded by the divine < death >. This is to activate the death god list, which half-definitely stains the opponent with the divine < death >. Designationpleted. Registered the god of battle in the list of gods of death. The power of the god of death begins to act on the god of battle. Divinity < Death > can be easily eroded by the designated target. Why? I dont know if its true, but the name of the god of battle didnt appear in the list of death gods. Could it be that because he is a god, his name cannot be found even in the list of death gods? Or is it that there is no such thing as a name in the first ce? It bothered me a little, but it didnt matter too much. Anyway, the power of authority has been applied. Then its not even worth knowing a name. It was worth it. You dont need to know the name of the target youre going to kill here. Having cut off such trivial thoughts, I immediately consumed my holy power to activate my skill. The skill Intangible Sword is activated. The skill Intangible Sword is greatly affected by challenger Han Seong-yoons divinity. The skill Intangible Sword uses the basic activation ability Myth Ovep by the divinity < Transcendence >. It will be. When a certain amount of the skill Intangible Sword is created, the additional newly activated ability Divine Interference is used. Whoa! In the blink of an eye, golden longswords appeared everywhere, revealing their presence. In fact, these formless swords also have some degree of killing power but that said, it was difficult to use formless swords for offense. It was worth it. Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of the < Nemesis >. Those who do not have a will cannot resist your divine power. From now on, the effect of < Chaos > will be added to Challenger Seongyoon Hans divine operation. When < Chaos > is activated The enemys negative emotions are extracted with faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. Because the true value of shapeless swords is not in attack, but in support. [ You can use ovepping myths? What is this?] The god of battle frowned and said that, but he had no intention of answering the question. The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing the divinity < transcendence > is created. The light of the stars containing the divinity < transcendence > built from star light is condensed in the air. That too to a level beyond its limits. Contrary to the increase in killing power with Divine < Death >, the feeling that the limits of divine condensation have disappeared. Even the power of the special buff that was currently applied to me was working. Is the value of the sacred power consumed by the Holy Light reduced? It was said that the consumption of holy power was reduced Actually, it seemed that the holy power consumed by Holy Light, a powerful skill, had been reduced to 1/4 level. It felt as if the divine power was replicated. Thats why, without hesitation, I continued to consume divine power to inte the power of the holy light. And The god of battle is greatly astonished at the starlight made of divinity. [This is nonsense! ] Soon, the moment when the brilliant golden light illuminated the divine realm < Hell''s Arena >. The god of battle vomited in denial, revealing deep confusion. Its even more intense. [Even if it is the power of the original Dragon God, the power cannot be condensed to this extent! ] I think he assumed the power of the Dragon God, who can be said to be the original owner of the holy light [Yes. If it was the power of the Dragon God, that would have happened. But this is no longer the power of the Dragon God. ] The Holy Light attributed to the divine < Transcendence > is now in a different state from the original Holy Light. So the output is bound to be difficult topare to the original. Even though he responded kindly, the god of battle reacted quickly instead of continuing the story. Before he knew it, he too had activated his divine authority. Divinity < Combat > is used. It has been designated as the target of Divinity < Combat >. By Divinity < Combat >, some of Han Seong-yoons stats are temporarily transferred to the opponent. Divinity < Combat > The power of the stats were taken without mercy. I wasnt too surprised because it was a divinity I had seen once while in the giant treebyrinth. Even if it was the transfer of some of all the stats, it was just a loss of about 10 of all stats in numerical terms. However, the divine authority that followed did not. Divine < Eat > is used. Divine < Eat > begins to support Divine < Combat >. Due to Divine < Battle >, a portion of the challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power is absorbed by the opponent. Suhwaaaaa ! As soon as the god of battle stretched out his hand, some of the holy power condensed in the holy light was absorbed into him. Perhaps that also seems like a perfect divinity for battle. Now, at this point, its ridiculous. Its an openly fraudulent ability in continuousbat. Divine < Combat > and Divine < Eating > both have strengths in continuousbat. To be able to bring the opponents power back to you as time goes by? In fact, in a continuous battle, it is a power that is different from telling the tolerable opponent to die. Thats why it was difficult to condense the power into the Holy Light any longer. Even if I condense the power into the holy light like this, it would be like giving power to the enemy. In response, I immediately stopped injecting power into the holy light and exploded it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A situation where the Holy Light was used without increasing the distance between each other. Not only the god of battle, but I also have to deal with the damage, so the opponent probably didnt know that it would explode at this time. I could be swept away by the power of the Holy Light without any countermeasures. However, thanks to the divinity he had newly acquired from a native deity, his worries were alleviated. Use divine < protection > Consumes divine power to give out a protection that excludes external divinities once . The moment the green light made up of the divine < Goddess > enveloped the body. The explosion of holy light that had reached his skin was erased immediately. However, the god of battle could not block the holy light. The situation where he was directly hit by the holy light that became like a natural enemy due to Shinhwas < Enemy of Everything >. So, the result was disastrous as expected. Chi-Ik-! [Turn it off!! ] I turned my eyes to the sound of meat sizzling, and the god of battle was there. The god of battle dissipated the flesh-gnawing power of the holy light with a pained face and widened his eyes. His eyes were so bloodshot that anyone could tell he was angry. And that, too, while living a life that was more profound. [It will rot! ] Then the god of battle roared and fired another divinity. Divine < Counterstrike > is used. Divine < Counterstrike > quadruples the umted damage and sends it back to challenger Seongyun Han. Divine < Counterstrike > deals an additional 10% of counterattack damage to challenger Sungyoon Han for 4 seconds. [ I will definitely tear you to pieces and kill you!!] Divine < Counterattack > was activated, and the shouts imbued with divinity soon turned into roars. The god of battle roared like a beast, and at the same time, the roar soon became a single sh and fired. But the sound of the shot never rang out. The appearance of red shes shooting as if they had transcended the speed of sound. In response, I immediately activated the skill and focused my eyesight to see the red sh. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The users concentration increases tenfold. This seems unstoppable. And right away, I was able to conclude the divine < counterattack >. If you block that, you will be mortally wounded in return. Even so, it was impossible to avoid it right away. Its a blow that almost fills up half of the < Hell''s Arena > in the divine realm. Id rather hold out until the divine < Counterattack > ends. Even if it was a blow that originally should have been helpless, there was a way to withstand it. It is also a means to survive without the slightest damage. Its nothing else The ck-and-white hourss (S+) exclusive effect, End Hour, is activated. A 7-day cooldown is created for the end of time exclusive effect of ck and White Hourss (S+). The ck and White Hourss (S+). Additional rewards obtained by clearing the 21st floor trials. Use this to gain temporary damage immunity from all damage. Chapter 269 269. Closure (2) The ck-and-white hourss (S+) exclusive effect, end of time , is activated. A 7-day cooldown is created for the ck and White Hourss (S+) exclusive effect, End of Time. As soon as I used the ck-and-white hourss, I heard a refreshing sound in my ears and time stopped. The time of the world has not stopped, only my time has stopped. Except for the five senses, even the effects of skills and powers disappeared. Its also very neat. Instead of stopping my own time, is it a format where I cant do anything in the meantime? It is different from the worn-out watch or skill of the regressor, Last Resistance. It does not turn back the worlds time, nor does it turn back its own time. It really only pauses its own time for a moment. In a way, it can be said that it is the least valuable of the survival times that interfere with the time I have. However, there were definitely advantages. Gyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-! Even though the red sh that filled the arena was destroying everything, I was fine. It was worth it. Because in a state where time has stopped, I am not harmed by external forces. This is why I wrote an hourss dyed in ck and white. It means to stop time yourself and let the opponents power flow right away. Has this drained all the power of the Divine < Counterattack''...'' The red sh that transcended even the speed of sound quickly stirred all over the Divine Realm. In less than one second out of the four seconds in which time stopped, the first blow was dodged. Even the follow-up hits made with the time difference of the divine < Counterattack > were meaningless to me. Coincidentally, the additional damage for 4 seconds of divine < Counterattack > oveps with the usage time of the ck and white hourss. The use of Divine < Counterstrike > ends. The umted damage from Divine < Counterstrike > is reset. Divine < Counterstrike > is used and creates a cooldown of 1 hour. And. Time ends. The ck-and-white hourss (S+) exclusive effect, End of Time, is disabled. The users stopped time starts to flow normally, and the interference immunity state is canceled. Within the stopped time The moment when this is released and the restrictions of action disappear. [What! Howe you are fine! I must have been hit by the divine < counterattack >! ] Seeing the god of battle screaming in confusion, he immediately activated his skills. The skill Battle eleration is activated. The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated. The skill Intention Amplification is activated] I had no intention of discussing trivial matters. I cant take too long. I have to win as quickly as possible. Currently, the power of the god of battle has been grasped to some extent. All the divinities possessed by the god of battle are optimized for continuousbat. If we continue like this, we wont be able to guarantee victory. It was the only case that had to be avoided. From now on, I will bring victory even if I use all the things that can be used. As soon as I finished thinking like that, I immediately calmed down my thoughts and condensed them into magical power. That too to the limit. Its nothing else Using mana as a medium to convey ones thoughts, the divine power dwelling in the heart is forged through mind-blowing. A type of swordy obtained from the battle with the Heavenly Demon manifests power. Heart sword. and. Increases the power of Power skill skills by [6] times by consuming holy power. Increases the power of Power skills by [6] times . The moment your stomach swells. Sim-geom immediately aimed at the ce where the god of battle was with transcendental speed. Did the power of the mind sword grow as the power to handle divinity increased after bing a formal god? I swung the battle gods body as if it were an egg, so fast that even I, who wrote a heart sword, was surprised. very quickly too. Standing up and down! The god of battle suffered great damage as could be seen at a nce. Before he knew it, ck blood was flowing out of his red skin uncontrobly. It wasnt that one part of the body was severed at all, but I noticed right away that it did a lot of damage. [Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!? ] In fact, the god of battle also spat out a pain-filled sound as if greatly embarrassed. Its time to give a certain amount of blows with this . The power skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 100%. Current skill ovep progress C [10] Whoa! In an instant, the skill was activated as soon as I doubled all speeds with the grace of the wind. The skill Deceleration of the designated target is strongly activated. Reduces all speeds of the god of battle by 40% for 4 minutes. Immediately after using the skill of slowing the designated target, the movement of the god of battle noticeably slows down. [What else is this!! ] Thats enough to make the god of battle frown. It was worth it. All speed reduction skills even slow down the operating speed of divine power. Im guessing that all the minor speeds like movement speed and attack speed have been slowed down. Its like weve lost the initiative in the battle. In response, I used the strongest firepower among the skills I had right now in turn. The power skill Starlight is activated and starlight containing the divinity < transcendence > is created. The skill Unextinguished mortal me is strongly activated. The brilliant golden starlight is skillfully covered with ck mes, creating an ominous atmosphere. showed signs of But it doesnt stop there. I imbued the twin swords with the power of a mixture of holy light and unquenchable mortal me. And then I added strength to it appropriately. Authority skill Kimki Seonggang  is strongly activated. Skill Destructive Heaven is activated. The limit on what can be broken disappears. And Authority skill, Honwon The magic swords exclusive effect, Doubling is activated. Increases the power of Power Skills by [8] times by consuming divine power. Within moments, the power contained in the two swords increased beyond control. Divine < Word of Word > is used. You can use your divine power to influence the real world with words . die. At that, I did not hold back right away and prepared to pour out the power contained in the sword immediately and wrote amand. Use Divine < Death >. You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. The divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death > mix clumsily like oil dropped into water. The divinity, magical power, skill, and authority were condensed in a messy way and emitted a bright light. A concentration of excessive power, as if I would be swallowed up if I rxed my grip for a moment. I shot it without hesitation, looking at the ce where the god of battle was. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! And the concentration of power swallowed everything in the divine realm < Hell''s Arena >. The color disappeared and the sound disappeared. Just like the flickering light of an old light bulb, something is caught in sight and hearing for a moment. I didnt even know if the god of battle had been properly hit. Its just Chee Hee Hee Hee! The power skill, Ashen Blood is activated. Regenerative power increases ording to the amount of holy power consumed. Body regeneration increases by 400% and bes immune to all non-regenerative abilities. Are you seriously injured? I can only guess that the god of battle will not be fine. The god of battle would be in a state where he could neither avoid nor stop this because of all the reduction in speed. Actually [ !! ] Suddenly, sight and hearing returned to a more or less normal state, and a scream was heard. A scream that cant even form anguage. How much time has passed like that? His physical condition returned to normal as before. Fortunately out of misfortune Although slightly tired, there was nothing wrong with his body. I was able to boldly use the divine power thanks to the < Competition > buff obtained through the myth. It was worth it. It was because I activated arge amount of gray blood with < Competition >, which reduces the consumption of holy power. Thats why the state of the body was so fine that there was no inferioritypared to before. But the god of battle was not like that. Chiyi. [That keke keuh keuh keuh keuh keuh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa] It looks like ck charcoal that has been greatly scorched by fire. The god of battle was really barely breathing. Perhaps it was rted to the tenacious vitality unique to the alien race That too was now almostpletely extinguished by the divine < Death >. [Do you think it will end like this?] Until suddenly the god of battle licked his burning lips. [Even if I cant win I ] And. [God of battle.] Next moment. Divinity < Fighting Spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used. With Divine < Fighting Spirit >, the God of Battle receives arge buff in proportion to the level of Fighting Spirit. All buffs received from Divine < Fighting Spirit > are If you lose your fighting spirit, it acts as a debuff. Tsuuuu! As the body of the God of Battle, which was burning like charcoal, began to recover quickly, an ident urred. God of battle feels strong fighting spirit from challenger Seongyoon Han. God of battles recovery speed and total amount of recovery increased by 100 times with divine < fighting spirit >. It wasnt just that. With Divine < Fight >, all divine powers of the God of Battle be 100 times stronger. With Divine < Fight >, the attack speed of the God of Battle is elerated by 100 times Divine resistance increased by 100 times The god of battle suddenly became stronger by using divine < fighting spirit >. [ . ] And very quickly. It looks like the awakening scene of a hot-blooded protagonist in a boys manga. I could never have imagined using such divinity in a desperate situation I could see why the god of battle was able to be so strong. Did he be strong like this until now? How can you be so strong in a situation where your life is really about to disappear? It was absurd. However, the buffs obtained through divine < fighting spirit > could be said to be at a tremendous level. Perhaps if all the buffs I received like that were applied, I wouldnt be able to defeat the god of battle. Its amazing. Really It could be said that if you defeat the god of battle, its the divinity you want the most. If you use the divine < fighting spirit >, you will be able to be really insanely strong. But even that could only be obtained by winning against the god of battle. [I cant help it. ] So ] Now its my turn to follow the god of battle and be strong in the same style. Even if it wasnt, I tried to check it once and move on. How far can you use the power you gained after bing a god of transcendence? The god of transcendence raises the power of the concept of transcendence. Right Use the divinity < Transcendence >. All abilities be out of the set range. The faster you hit the limit, the faster All abilities are out of the set range. The growth rate of all types increases [27] times in proportion to the level difference with the opponent. To use the power of transcendence obtained as a deity in charge of divine < transcendence > . Chapter 270 270. Closure (3) Hard! Using Divinity < Transcendence > All abilities are out of the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range. All abilities in proportion to the level difference with the opponent. The growth rate of the species increases [27] times. Brilliant golden light enveloped the body in the blink of an eye. The flow of divinity obtained through deification elerated, and the divinity flowing from his body changed like a torrent. The divine < transcendence > power was activated in apletely different way than before. very strong too. Is this the power obtained as a transcendent god? As a result, I noticed that something has changed a lot in the essential part. It was worth it. Before I knew it, numerous system messages were emerging as if obscuring my vision. And looking at them, I smiled thickly. The mastery of the skill Battle eleration (A+) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Battle eleration (A+) has increased by one level. The mastery of the skill Instantaneous eleration (B+) has increased by 100. % has been reached The level of the skill Instantaneous eleration (B+) increases by one level Even if the mastery of the skill Slow Target (A-) reaches 100% .. The level of the skill Designated Target Deceleration (A-) is one level higher] Its nothing different I couldnt believe that the increase in growth speed obtained with Divinity < Transcendence > would be applied to the skill as well. All of the skills that had been stagnant due to reaching a high level so far have grown. And that too very quickly. The corners of the mouth curl at the result of the 27-fold increase in the growth rate of all types. At most, I thought it would end with raising the proficiency by a few percent . [There is no cheat key. ] Even this skill growth did not apply only to the currently used skill. The mastery of the skill Infinite Spell Devour (B+) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Infinite Spell Devour (B+) has risen by one level. The mastery of the skill Abyssal Lineage (B+) has reached 100% The level of the skill Abyssal Lineage (B+) has risen by one level Even if the mastery of the skill Shock Block (A-) is at 100%. The level of the skill Shock Block (A-) is one level higher Skills that have stopped activating skills or have never activated skills have grown. In short, I am currently growing just by breathing. In terms of games, its like turning on cheat mode. But I couldnt like it without thinking about it. The divine < transcendence >s growth rise I said ites from the gap with the opponent. The rise in transcendental growth rates did note for free. Because the increase in growth rate obtained through the divinity < Transcendence > is proportional to the difference in level with the opponent. Then, in essence, the reason to get this much increase in growth rate was because of the enemy. And when I noticed that, I couldnt help but frown. [So the gap with the god of battle has widened that much. ] Actually God of battle feels strong fighting spirit from challenger Seongyoon Han! God of battles muscr strength increases 100 times with divine < fighting spirit > God of battles physical resistance increases by 100 with divine < fighting spirit > It bes twice as strong. With the divinity < Fighting Spirit >, the magic recovery of the God of Battle is elerated by 100 times The God of Battle was still growing stronger. Seriously to the point where I can understand why the divinity < Transcendence > suddenly gave me such deceptive growth. The god of battle, who had recovered from a fatal wound, was increasing his strength while emitting a sound like a broken gramophone. [Oh oh oh oh oh.] As if he couldnt keep up with the power that dwells in his body. It was worth it. Now, the power felt by the god of battle reached the tip of the ancient deity. It cant bepared to the power of a true ancient deity but its definitely a heterogeneous level. [ . ] Seeing that, I immediately turned off Shinhwa < The Reversal of the Hero > for a while and turned it on again. I cant stop the god of battle with just this much buff. Can not help it. Currently, you cannot defeat the god of battle with the buff you receive from the mythical < The Warrior of Reversal >. So, I quickly chose to reset the buff by ending the mythology once. And Myth < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +401. Special buff < Indomitable Mark > is activated. 40% of the damage taken from the opponent is reduced to Holy It can be recovered by converting it into power. The moment when the buff applied to the myth < The Warrior of Reversal > was newly changed. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. The feeling of power became even stronger, and a special spell < Contempt for the Strong > was written. In addition to the unprecedented increase in stats, could it be thanks to the exclusive spell? Currently, all stats are at an overwhelming level of 3000. Even the newly received special buff < Indomitable Mark > was quite useful. Its useful to be able to change the amount of damage received from the opponent into divine power. It was worth it. Even if it wasnt so, I had to consume a lot of divine power by pushing the god of battle . [Challenger Han Seong-yoon] It was then. [From now on, I will admit it clearly. ] Whoops! Suddenly, the god of battle wrapped around the red divinity like a storm calmed his eyes and said. [You are strong. So far Ive been foolish. You I dared to judge you as under one step. I did something stupid. ] Its nothing else [So dont change your mind now. ] Unlike before, the god of battle showed a serious expression. [ Now I also treat you as a transcendent god, not as a mere challenger or mortal. ] That is also very determined seriousness. [No you dont have to fix that much] Iughed out loud because I was dumbfounded by that. Its a battle where you cant be sure whether the other side will be able to win even if they arent sincere. That doesnt sound very nice to me. Id rather be vignt like before. But even so, the god of battle did not erase his serious expression. [This is all nonsense. ] I had to feel goosebumps run down my spine. It was worth it. Because the strength and determination that the god of battle reveals is different from before. Red divinities swarm, authority and authority are intertwined like chains, and the status that has reached a high ce is refined. Its [not starting. ] It was the appearance of a godhead who governed the concept of battle by calming down. *** The duel, risking each others lives, began right away. The special power Hunger for battle is activated. All skill proficiency increases by 300% until the end of the battle. (C+) >. Activate True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Intention (B+) > True Blood Demon Swords < Imprint Skill: Divine Amplification( Activate B+) > Or the items exclusive effect, he had no intention of saving it anymore. It was worth it. The God of Battle did not have enough power in his hands, and even took a reasonable attitude. So I couldnt miss the string of tension anymore. Even though Im not as strong as the god of battle, Ive be a lot stronger but Im still at a level where I cantpete. It was worth it. Because I am still weak even though my many skills are growing with the divine < Transcendence >. But the god of battle was not like that. He has already received all the buffs that can be received with the divine < fighting spirit >. Even that was not enough, and now it was taking away even the power I had. Temporarily transfers a part of all of Seongyoon Hans abilities to the opponent through the < Battle > of the Holy Spirit. Through the divine , some of challenger Han Seongyoons stats are temporarily transferred to the opponent [Damn it] With the divine , the stats are decreasing as time goes by. To be precise, it can be said that all stats decrease by 10 every minute. Even though I havent weakened that much yet, I couldnt look at the situation with optimism. Even more so when you consider the divinities < Eating >, < Counterattack >, and < fighting spirit > possessed by the god of battle. Finish everything before time runs out. After making that decision, I immediately opened my eyes and activated my authority. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. Poof-! In an instant, he leaped through space and immediately thrust his sword into the opponents nape. However, the opponent is the godhead who governs the concept of battle. Even though Sunbo was used, the god of battle reacted immediately. As if this much was nothing. Chijijijijijik-! The god of battle immediately stretched out his left hand and shed the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. And that too very gently. And then he trimmed his right hand into a capital shape and stretched it out like a stab. Despite the absurd increase in all stats and the concentration of battle activated, I couldnt see the movement properly. Thats why. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! [Ouch! ] As it is, with my stomach pierced, I flew all the way to the other side, drawing a straight trajectory at once. Even though he immediately healed the wound in his abdomen with gray blood, the shock could not be erased. Even though the blow was not particrly special, it almost killed him. [There really is no cheat key without a conscience] But there was no time to express dissatisfaction. Hey hey hey! It was because the red light poured like a ray in the ce where the god of battle was. In response, I immediately activated the counterattack shield and tried to block the beam. However, the counterattack shield was pierced by the beam without even buying a second. Its also very miserable. The mastery of the skill Counter Shield (A-) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Counter Shield (A-) has gone up by one level. [ Rotten! ] Fortunately, there was a workaround. The exclusive effect Distortion is activated. Consumes holy power to cause twisting in the specified space. The specified space where distortion exceeds a certain amount disappears. The moment when the exclusive effect obtained while dealing with the indigenous deities was activated. The space in front of my eyes immediately distorted and twisted. And at the same time, the red rays of light pouring down on me also stopped there for a moment. But even that had its limits. Kwazijik-! In an instant, the bead of space was broken, and a red beam of light pierced his body. Fortunately, the unfortunate thing was that the defense system skills were activated. The damage was reduced with skills such as Shock Block and Knights Oath. Even some of the damage was umted in the heart as divine power by the special buff < Indomitable Mark >. It means at least you can survive. Thats it. Reluctantly, I had to choose the worst instead of the best. The worst number is that sess is victory, but failure is death. But there were some odds. Then I just had to try it. After a few more minutes, the timing to win wille. and. If theres no point in using anything anyway, its best to just run away. The moment you finish thinking so rationally strategic. The power skill, Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 140%. Current skill stacking progress C [14] I increased my movement speed with a lot of power and entered the divine realm < Hell''s Arena >. flew low Even with the condition of increasing the speed with the divine < Emperor > added. The god of battle clicked his tongue and spoke coldly. [Do something meaningless. God of transcendence you guys will die anyway ] And at the same time as the god of battles eyes shed, red rays split into hundreds and poured out. Kwachajajajajajajang! [Because with time, you will lose all your powers with my divine < Battle >. ] The god of battle said that as if he were foolish. It was worth it. As he said, the divinity is the divinity optimized for continuousbat. Even if time passed like this, the god of battle would be stronger and stronger. [If thats the case, fight to the end! Even if you postpone the end, you will only face ruin in the end! ] Maybe he knows that Im trying to drag my time without any countermeasures [No. ] It wasnt like that. [You are the one who dies.] Nothing else Time conditions met. Battled for 44 minutes while designating an enemy on the death list. It will be. Confirmed erosion of divine < death > using divine power exclusive authority. The reason why I have been dragging out the time so far The only chance to win hase. Chapter 271 271. Closure (4) 18th floor. There was one thing I found out through the battle with the usurper, a deity born from peoples negative emotions. Its nothing else The power of the Divine < Death > can destroy the divinity of the Godhead. When I used Divinity < Death > on the usurper, his divinity definitely copsed. It was worth it. Because the divine < death > is originally the power that governs the death of everything. Therefore, it was not that difficult to dissipate the divine power itself with divine < death >. Its just that its difficult to erode the opponents divinity < Death >. Thats why Its the same situation this time. It could be said that the god of battle eroded the divine < Death > and it was a chance to win. With this, the divinity of the god of battle will gradually disintegrate. Thats very certain. actually- [A list of deaths? ] As soon as the divine < death > was engraved, the face of the god of battle instantly turned pale. It was as if he didnt know that his divinity would suddenly be eroded like this. I guess I didnt know that divine < death > was confirmed and eroded after 44 minutes because of the death list Even if I had known about this, it wouldnt have changed much. After all, it was decided that this would happen at the time it was written in the Shinigami list. [Forcible divinity copse! ] The god of battle coughed up blood and shouted in disbelief. [Alternative alternative! How could this! And how can you use two divinities in the concept realm!? ] And very violently. [This is impossible! Unless youre an ancient deity, you cant deal with the divinity of concepts like this. ] But it was not necessary to listen to the end. [Isnt it arrogant to say that others cant do it just because they cant do it themselves? ] I immediately replied with a smirk and squeezed the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. [I dont know about that, but I was able to do it from the beginning. ] And. The True Blood Demon Swords soul ego skill < Blood de Rush (S-) > is activated . All the blood shed during the battle so far turned into red thorns and gushed out. The moment when countless bloody thorns soared as if they were going to pierce the sky. The god of battle clenched his teeth tightly and then stretched out his hand to unleash divine power. Divine < Eat > is used. Divine < Eat > assists divine < Combat >. Due to Divine < Battle >, a portion of the challenger Han Seong-yoons power is absorbed by the opponent. But [ big ugh! ] Soon, the ck light of the divine < Death > shimmered near the heart of the god of battle. His face was contorted horribly, and the condensed divine power in his hands was scattered. And ordingly, the activating of Divine < Eating > was canceled as well. Its nothing else Divine < Eat > does not meet the activation conditions, so it will be canceled. Things went better than expected. At that, I put a light smile on my lips and gave strength to my body. Perhaps it would be difficult for the god of battle to drive away the erosion of the divinity < Death >. Because he bes a god who truly deals with death, and that has be the same concept as death itself. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! In the blink of an eye, the power of < Surge of Bloody des > hit the body of the god of battle as if tearing it apart. Considering that it has be incredibly strong with the divine < fighting spirit >, it is indeed an amazing power. However, there was no time to admire the power of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. [Do you think this little thing is going to vanish without meaning! ] Suddenly, the god of battle let out a furious voice and his eyes shed. [Even if we dont win, Ill at least die together!! ] And. Divinity < Annihtion > meets the conditions and is used. Divinity < Annihtion > is used and a cooldown of 10 years is created. Divinity < Annihtion > cooldown cannot be reset by any effect. No. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A red aura exploded around the god of battle as if destroying everything. Like the divinity < Counterattack >, even if you try to avoid it, you cant avoid it. Its amazing that you still have such a great divinity hidden away. Still, unlike the divine < Counterattack >, this seemed to be easier to deal with than I thought. [ . ] Its nothing else . If the cooldown is set like that, its easy to deal with. There was something I hadnt shown to the god of battle before. It was a power that did not belong to divinity, authority, or skill, but the effect was clear. It was worth it. Among the powers I currently have, it is an effect that puts me at the top of the survival period. Attack invalid. Its a bit disappointing that its an items exclusive effect, not pure skill but I wasnt ashamed. Thats also the case Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect, Attack Nullification is activated. Divinity < Annihtion > is returned to its pre-attack state by Attack Nullification. Returners Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect, Attack Nullification has a cooldown of 30 minutes. Its also part of my original skill to wear equipment. *** Tick-tock-. The moment when the worn-out watch of the regressor was activated. At the same time as the sound of the clock hands resounded, the destructive force bursting from the god of battle disappeared. That too is very neat. And [The holy relic left by the god of time!? ] Do you still know about this item in your own way? [Why do you have that! ] The god of battle knew that it was the item I had that caused this phenomenon. Perhaps the cause is that the maker of this item is the god of time. The god of battle, who has lived as a god for a long time, must know a lot about him. But it didnt bother me too much. Divine < Empowerment > is used. Sacred power can be consumed to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, themandment that interferes with thews of the world consumes a lot of divine power. ? Its over and I die. Because knowing it wont change anything anyway. [Ouch! ] Actually, it was. As soon as the divinity < Death > elerated the erosion with the divine < words >, the god of battle coughed up blood. Perhaps the divinity within his body was crushed by the divinity < Death >. In response, I immediately flew at the opponent at full speed using various skills and powers. And soon, as soon as he arrived at the ce where the god of battle was, he immediatelyunched a sword strike. But Kwagaggagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga-! [Really crazy] The blow, intended to kill the opponent right away, was blocked by the arm of the god of battle. Before I knew it, the god of battle raised his right arm to block the de that was about to enter his neck. It is also one of the durability of the skin. Still, it had some effect. Unlike before, the god of battles right arm was cut in half. Due to the erosion of the Divine < Death >, hes still quite weak Then, he couldnt back down just by inflicting this much damage. Even if the divinity < Death > has been eroded, you dont know what will happen if you give the god of battle time. Even if the probability is low, once the god of battle drives out the divine < Death >, there will be no victory after that. I should avoid the worst. So it would be right to risk everything now to defeat the god of battle. Thats why I instilled divinity into the sword with the Myth < Enemy of All > greatly activated. The moment when the golden and ck divinities imbued with the power of mythology touched the god of battle. The god of battles eyes turned bloody and a terrible scream was let out. Chii-i-i-!! [Keuk Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] Its nothing else When the < Nemesis > is activated, your holy power greatly interferes with the power of all beings. Beings without will cannot resist your holy power. Its because of the < nemesis >, one of the effects attached to the myth < nemesis of all things >. It has the power to interfere with the opponents divinity, and as a result, it has be a close match to the natural enemy. So, the various divinities and powers that protect the god of battle were also weakened. Maybe its the same feeling as fire touching water? The achievement Counter Master has been achieved. All stats increase by 1. Suddenly! Just like that, as soon as the god of battles divinity weakened, his right arm was cut off in one fell swoop. But I wasnt going to be satisfied with just this level. Right after that, he grabbed the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword in reverse and drove them into the bloated body of the god of battle. Its also very rough. Deed deed deed!! [Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That gmaaaaaan!! Stop it, hey hey hey hey hey!! ] The god of battle groaned in pain with his eyes stained bloody. It was worth it. One of the twin swords stuck in his body pierced the heart where the divinity gathered. The divine power in her heart must have been severely damaged by the mythical < nemesis of all things >. [ Ahhh! Divinity is divine! everything everything! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] Actually. In the body of the current god of battle, an inconceivablyrge amount of divinity is bursting out. As spected, the god of battle was losing his power as a god. And as I lost my strength and my emotions became unstable, it soon became my faith. That is a very good belief. Since < Chaos > is activated, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions , the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. it was triggered But is it a divinity that has been built up for a long time in its own way? The god of battle did not die quietly as it was. [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] Knock-! The god of battle, blood dripping from his eyes, reached down at me with his left arm and grabbed me by the throat. Despite having only one arm left, his grip strength is beyond imagination. To him, I had to give up my neck as it was, even though I had transcendent durability and various defensive skills. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! [ oops! ] In the blink of an eye, my mind instantly bes dizzy and blood leaks from my neck. Even the god of battle doesnt just choke. Just as I was pouring divine power into him, the god of battle also poured divine power into me. Its also a divinity like poison. The Divine < Hybrid > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used. The Divine < Hybrid > erodes the Shinhwa Species blood to challenger Han Seong-yoon. The Divine < Hybrid > uses holy power to speed up the erosion of the Mythic Species blood. It increases by 4 times. [God of Transcendence! Here! Lets die together! ] Its nothing else Has the divinity strengthened the poison in the blood It used a technique Ive seen before . His blood trickled down his throat, half pierced by the god of battle, and he was dizzy. Consciousness is clouded It was justified. It was because the poison of blood was strengthened with the divinity that had a condition for activating the divinity < Hybrid >. In a way, this can be said to be thest move. However, the blurring of consciousness was only for a moment. Skill Depersonalization is strongly activated. Skill Depersonalization haspletely epted the factor of the Mythic Species. Because of the Mythic Species factors stored in the skill Depersonalizing Man, the Mythical Species advantage One of them is gradually transnted. [Ah. ] Its nothing else. The skill that allowed me to drain the poison from the blood in the giant treesbyrinth before was activated. Depersonalization (Ó). The activation of the skill that made him half-human now returned his consciousness. As it was, I clench my teeth and activate the divine < Sword Command > again, pushing the god of battle. die!! And Use Divine < Death >. You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death > . . Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The divinity of ck light that filled the divine realm < Hell''s Arena > overflowed as if bursting. The moment when the power of the divine < Death > was raised to an unprecedented level. All of a sudden, the strength in the god of battles left arm was released. Right away [rot.] The god of battle has reached death. [At that time a mortal kid why did he be such a monster] But the words of the god of battle did not carry on to the end. It was worth it. The divine power that had flowed from his heart until now was no longer felt. And what that meant was simple. Absorbed themand of Asura, the god of battle. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 16.1% closer to the 2nd ascension by winning against the god. The me of life that had been burning ugly was extinguished. [ . ] Finally, at the end of the duel, the god of battle was defeated. Its also very neat. At that, I vomited blood and pulled out the twin swords from the body of the god of battle. The lifeless body of the god of battle lost its power and fell to the ground in the center of the sacred realm. thud-. [Is it finally over] The long bad rtionship with the god of battle that started in the tower put an end to it. Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the power extraction judgment begins. So Judgment sessful. It has been confirmed that the power exists in the spirit of Asura, the god of battle. Now this is the story Its time to get the fruit at the end of Extract powers from the dead. The special power Single Duel (A-) is imprinted on the soul of the user Han Seong-yoon. Even. You have absorbed the spirit of Asura, the god of battle, and have satisfied the special conditions. You can acquire one of the divine spirits of the god of battle, Asura. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Battle > < Eat > < Counterattack > < Determination > < Extinction > < Hybrid > . Chapter 272 272. Closure (5) Absorbed themand of Asura, the god of battle, and satisfied the special conditions. You can learn one of the divinemands of themand of Asura, the god of battle. Currently acquired The potential divinities that can be yed are < Battle > < Drain > < Counterattack > < Fight > < Extinction > < Hybrid > . As soon as I woke up, my eyes lit up. [This is] It was worth it. [Its amazing. ] the god of battle. Being able to obtain the divinity of an existence that has been built up for a long time as a true deity It would not bemon to have something so appetizing. The moment when I was about to make a divine choice while looking at the options that appeared in front of my eyes. Suddenly, system messages appeared again to obscure my view, interrupting my thoughts. The mastery of the Power Skill skill Magic Operation (A+) has reached 100%. The grade of the Power Skill Skill Magic Operation (A+) has risen by one level. The Power Skill Skill Soul Source Magic Sword (S) The mastery has reached 100%. The level of the power skill skill Soul Source Demon Sword (S) has risen by one level. The mastery of the power skill skill Grace of Wind (A+) has reached 100%. The grade of the power skill skill Grace of Wind (A+) will increase by one level. Its nothing else The mastery of the power skill skill Gray Blood (A-) has reached 100%. The grade of Ashen Blood (A-) will increase by one level. The mastery of the power skill Starlight Starlight (S-) has reached 100%. The power skill skill Starlight Starlight (S-) The grade goes up by one level.] [Huh] All of a sudden, his authority skills grew as he used divine < Transcendence >. very quickly too. Considering that his skill level hadnt risen so far, it was a tremendous growth rate. While admiring him, I was able to suddenly think of it. Come to think of it, now that I have more divinities, I can also increase the number of power skills. Currently, the number of additional power skills that can be registered is approximately two. However, if you acquire the divinity used by the god of battle, the number will increase to three in total. So, it means that you can increase three Power Skills To be honest, I couldnt help but look forward to it considering the effect of Power Skills. It looks like it will be fun in many ways even after the divine selection is over. At that, I smiled and resumed the divinity selection. [Is there a total of six divinities to choose from? ] All the divinities introduced by the god of battle were optimized for battle. Thats why I was inevitably worried. No matter what you choose, the aspect of the battle that follows will change dramatically. But at the same time, I was worried. [All of them are good divinities, but the w is that they have a lot of conditional triggers. ] Excluding Divine < Combat > and Divine < Hybrid >, there are conditions attached to their activation. Even my favorite divinity < fighting spirit > was like that. If I were to choose a truly passable divinity, it would be the divinity < battle >. The effect of bringing the opponents strength in proportion to the duration of the battle is definitely good. Perhaps if I choose divine , I can use it a lot regardless of whether the opponents rank is high or low. The most efficient ability that can be used in any situation. But even so, I couldnt choose the divine < battle > right away. In the fight against the god of battle, I had already half-determined the divinity I wanted. Although the conditional activation is wed, the divine < fighting spirit > is actually the most attractive. Its nothing else He coveted the divinity that allowed the god of battle to easily be ten times stronger. Divinity < fighting spirit > has conditions to trigger like other divinities, but it is easy to know and the effect is close to the best. [ . ] At least, it could be said to be of a great level to use as a joker pick. After thinking about it for a while, I was able to make a decision. And Selectionplete. Divinity < fighting spirit > is reced with potential. As it is, I selected divine < fighting spirit > and obtained potential divinity. no matter how much I think about it, there is no divinity as good as the divinity < fighting spirit >. It was worth it. Even if you get the sacred < Battle >, it will only increase the frequency of use. Doesnt it make it possible to win an unwinnable fight? Then it would be better to use it as a joker pick by acquiring the divine < fighting spirit >. The condition for activating the divine < fighting spirit > is probably just before life disappears. I even liked the activation condition of the divine < fighting spirit >. [From now on, there wont be many battles with the same level god. ] Climbing the tower, you will face many gods and suffer many hardships ordingly. The battle between the gods is at a level where it is not strange even if life disappears at any time for 1 minute and 1 second. So it was better to get ast chance to save your life with the divine < fighting spirit > every time. At least, if he had any intention of dealing with a strong enemy, he did. Is this the end of the divinity selection? Having obtained such a new divinity < fighting spirit >, I immediately activated my unique divine authority. Inherent Divine Authority < Transcendence (SSS+) > is activated. You can release the limit by binding your abilities to Divinity. Freely select the ability to enter the transcendence possible state up to [5/8]. Its nothing else [Its been a while since Ive increased my power skills. ] It was time to fill the slots of the power skills that had been left until now. I even thought about what to designate as a power skill. It was because I learned what suited the most powerful skills in a fierce battle with the god of battle. So, without hesitation, I immediately chose the skills that would be converted into authority skills. And Skill Unextinguished Mortal me(S) is bound to Divine < Transcendence > and the limit is lifted. Skill Specified Target Deceleration (A) is bound to Divine < Transcendence > is canceled. The skill Magical Circuit (A+) is bound to the divinity < Transcendence > and the limit is lifted. A system message announced the emergence of new power skills. *** [ . ] In the blink of an eye, all skills were focused on divinity. I felt the divine power in my heart sway and swallow my skills. It was probably binding the skills in order to change the content with the Authority skill. The skill Unextinguished Mortal me (S) is attributed to Divinity and converted into the Authority skill Unextinguished Mortal me (S). It has been changed. The skill Designated Target Deceleration (A) is bound to Divinity and converted to the Authority Skill Designated Target Deceleration (A). Changed from Skill to Authority, the part corresponding to the limit Everything has been changed. The skill Magical Circuit (A+) is attributed to Divinity and converted to the Authority skill Magical Circuit (A+). It has changed. Seeing that new authority skills were created, I smiled bitterly. [Its a waste not to be able to increase the power skill more. ] It deserved it. In addition to these, there are many skill candidates that can be converted into authority skills. Seeker of fresh blood, shock blocking spell, infinite predation, etc. There are still many fraudulent skills that are mainly used. So, since I could only add this as a power skill, I couldnt help but feel bitter. If I get another divinityter, there must be a lot of power skills to add. But it was only for a moment that I thought it was such a waste. I brushed off my thoughts and immediately absorbed themand of the god of battle. Then, a system message appeared in the field of view, and at the same time, the stats rose. Permanently increase stats by using themand of Asura, the god of battle. Muscle strength increased by 207 Agility increased by 121. Stamina increased by 204. Magic power increased by 191. . Durability has increased by 201. Is the soul of a godhead really different in rank? The overwhelming increase in stats instantly swelled the bodys strength. It wasnt even that. As I was drowning in the enormous power that dwells in my body, I even came up with a skill absorption message. Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the god of battle, Asura. Its nothing else Acquires the skill, Intensify lineage (A+). You have acquired a skill rted to lineage. Looking at the description of the skill, I was able to understand what the skill Deep Lineage (A+) was. Its not a very special skill. Its not even a skill rted tobat. Is it a skill that promotes the growth of power rted to lineage? Its just its written that it increases the potential of the blood lineage. However, there was no need to worry deeply about the exnation. The moment I try to think for a moment about where I can use this. The skill Deep Lineage is automatically activated when the conditions are met. Suddenly, the newly obtained skill was activated, and the skills were activated in turn. The factor of the mythical species stored in the skill Dehumanization Man has been affected by the skill. Receives lineage advantages from the factor of the mythical species stored in the skill Dehumanization Man. In the skill Dehumanity Man Receive the lineage advantage < Divine Lineage > from the stored mythological factor. Even With the lineage advantage < Sacred Lineage >, all consumption of divine power is reduced by 10%. More than that, it produced a great effect. [Is this what happens? ] So I read the messages that floated in front of me with a bewildered face. It was worth it. I didnt know that the skill Deepening Lineage would promote the growth of the skill Dehumanization. However, it was only for a while that he was taken aback by such an unexpected gain. [Can reduce the consumption of all divine power] Advantages of Lineage The power of < Sacred Lineage > was great. Reducing all consumed values using divine power by 10%? In fact, this was tantamount to obtaining one divine power for free. At least for the godhead, its a power that greatly increases efficiency. He probably got his lineage with the blood sprinkled by the god of battle ] It seemed that he was gaining more than he really thought. It actually was. There was also a special power single duel extracted after obtaining themand of the god of battle. Thinking about it, the rewards he received from the god of battle were innumerable. I even thought about it, and there was a special authority extracted from the god of battle [Really] And. [It is a god who gives generously. ] After the nonsense, Inded on thend in the center of the sacred realm < Hell''s Arena >. Chak-. Then, as it was there, it absorbed the blood of the god of battle by pointing the blood demon sword at the corpse. The True Blood Demon Sword (S-)s exclusive effect, Blood Eating, is activated. Absorbs arge amount of blood to increase the items grade to S- grade (15000/15000). The grade value reaches the point where growth is possible, and the item grows from S- grade to S grade. Like the blood of a godhead, all items are absorbed, and the blood demon swords grade has risen by one level. DAs a god, its tremendous power, isnt it? uh huh Digestion will take some time. Even Damcheonwu, who dwells in the Blood Demonic Sword, sumbed to the increase in power. Uncharacteristically, it seems to be going through a certain amount of struggles when ites to capturing power. But I let him be quiet, knowing that he would use up his strength anyway. [Did I get everything I could get from this now? ] And soon, looking at the corpse of the god of battle, he raised his bodys strength. It wasnt different, because there was one thing to check. But The exclusive effect Necromancer is activated . ] Previously, the exclusive effect obtained from Karnar Sagsis could not be used on the godheads corpse. It was worth it. Even if he lost his life, what is here is the corpse of a godhead. It cannot be resurrected with exclusive effects obtained from the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead. Even Karnar Sagsis felt the burden of raising a mere native godhead It was close to impossible to raise a formal godhead with the power of only a fragment of Karnars necromancy. [Necromancer doesnt have much to use.] So, I soon lost interest in the exclusive effects of necromancy. If its a power that cant be used against a godhead anyway, it cant be a power to me anymore. Realizing that I had done all that I had to do, I used the power of divine realm creation. The special power creation of sacred realm is activated. Consumes challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create a divine realm < transcendence >. And. The divine realm < Transcendence > detects the external divinity and tries to exclude it. Within moments, the brilliant golden divinity spread from the heart. Kwajijijijik-! In the blink of an eye, the sacred realm < Hell''s Arena > began to crumble. The divine realm < Hell''s Arena > is being destroyed by an external divinity. The space is unable to withstand the force and splits apart like a cookie being crushed under pressure. The battle was over anyway, so there was no need to stay in the sacred realm anymore. Originally, the reason I stayed here all the time was to avoid causing damage to Earth in the aftermath of the battle. So Im leaving the sacred realm < Hell''s Arena >. Now its time to go back to Earth and back to the tower. Chapter 273 273. Iron Blooded Lord (1) Some time has passed. After killing the god of battle, I had to stay on Earth. I didnt intend to spend much time on Earth. Somehow I bought an E+ grade hearthstone, so I still have time to go to the tower. Its also a w that the fight ends faster than I thought. Currently, I was in a guest room in the building on the side of the American Hunter Association. Its because the situation became annoying after the Raid Live was broadcast to various parts of the world through a video tform. A government invitation, a press conference, an exnation of an incident My fatigue multiplied as people all over the world asked me to do this and that. The situation is more troublesome than expected. It was worth it. Spending time on something thats not useful for growth anyway? Except for the time to climb the tower, I dont have much time to stay on Earth I didnt know why I had to do such a bother. Its not like it gives you a definitive harvest of faith. Still, thanks to the umtion of eundeok in the United States, it must have ended at this point So, with the help of the American Hunter Association, he solved all of them at once. Its nothing else When I asked Joseph to solve the situation, all the annoying things disappeared before I knew it. Its also very neat. actually- [Challenger Han Seong-yoon said, I will not respond to the press conference.

Currently, many people are interested in me and sympathize with me. Of course, there were certainly others who did not. But there was nothing to worry about too much. After all, there arent that many of them. After looking at the post to some extent, I felt sorry. Its nothing else Didnt you have a lot of faith after seeing the power as a godhead? Because no matter what site, they dont take me seriously as a godhead. Im just admiring that he has tremendous power like a god. Even if there are those who im to be gods, nine out of ten are close to joking. I had no choice but to lick my appetite. This is a bit disappointing. It was worth it. You can be a god of the earth when you harvest a certain level of faith at the earth level. When you be the god of Earth, you can acquire the divine < Earth >. If I had harvested a lot of faith with this, I would have been able to be the god of the earth More than I thought, people didnt think too much about the existence of a god. Even the same challengers couldnt seriously announce that they were gods because there were many people who didnt know the existence of gods. I think its still premature. It seemed that there had to be an event that would at least make people seriously believe in the existence of a godhead. That is a very big event. Perhaps in the future, if another disturbance urs on Earth, the existence of a godhead can be announced. But now I had no intention of doing that. Honestly, its a waste of time to preach the existence of a godhead. Despite killing the Apostle of Godhead, the existence of God could not be announced. If so, it would not be efficient to artificially announce that he is a divinity and establish a religion. It would be better to deal with itter if anothermotion arises. So, I had no intention of gathering faith beyond this. However, there was still an ie. Still, even if its not as good as I thought, the faith gathered properly. Its nothing else The special divine authority Designate Follower is activated. You can designate a follower and harvest faith from them. Currently, the number of followers worshiping the transcendent god is [96782]. [2072901] [2072901] is the number that can be designated as followers of the transcendental god at present . Rather than I thought, at least Ive gained enough faith now. In response, I immediately designated followers using the power of designating followers. Designation of followersplete. Current number of followers worshiping the transcendent god is [2169683] The current number of followers who worship the god of transcendence is [0]. And Conditions satisfied. When the number of followers exceeds [100000], a follower grade is created. It bes possible to give a small amount of divine power to followers who have reached a certain amount of faith. Next moment. Conditions satisfied. The number of followers has exceeded [300000], enabling the activation of the special divine authority, Blessing Power. Finally, it is possible to bestow power as a divine power. *** Power Sergeant. The function of the special Divine Authority obtained by clearing the 21st floor trial has been opened. Until now, I hadnt been able to satisfy the activation condition, so I had left it as it was Now I felt like I could use the power properly. The special divine authority Give Power is activated by satisfying the conditions. You can bestow divine power and authority to the most religious believers. I can only lower it to a certain extent. And Amazing. The moment I saw the system message that popped up in front of my eyes. I couldnt help but smile at him with my eyes wide open. It was worth it. Being able to bestow holy power and authority is definitely a huge advantage. But that doesnt mean its good without conditions. I bring up a list of first-ss followers. For first-ss followers, divine power and authority can be bestowed ording to individual skills. Followers whose skills exceed the certain range can be designated as apostles. First-ss follower (1): Catherine Bet First-ss follower (2): Lee Ha-yeon First-ss follower (3): Lucia Mimir First-ss follower (4): Katia . Is this because they havent gathered a lot of followers yet? Only first-ss believers could bestow divine power and authority. Unlike other deities, those whose faith is lower than this cannot bestow divine power. Even the number of first-ss followers was not that high. Isnt there less than 10 followers with the highest level of faith? But this wasnt too bad. It cant be helped. It was worth it. As the saying goes, selection and concentration I have been focusing on increasing my skills as a god rather than increasing my followers. Thats why it was possible to be satisfied even if there were not too many first-ss followers. For now, its better to give everything down from the divine power. In response, I immediately gave the divine power to all the first-ss followers. The power of Divine Power (F+) is bestowed on all first-ss followers who serve the transcendental god. And at the same time, part of the divine power in the heart flowed out somewhere. I think I know roughly what the mechanism is. It seemed that I could share my divine power with a first-ss follower. And I was able to notice that this divine power could be collectedter. Currently, the divine power that can be given to a first-ss follower is F+, which is a little higher than the minimum. It was possible to notice how the gods usually increase their divine power. Is it the feeling that if the followers increase the sacred power given to the followers, they will take it away? In a word, it was exploitation. However, I had no intention of exploiting divine power from the followers like that. Its not that I feel very guilty or anything like that, its simply that its taking too long. Rather, it was better to obtain the divine power dwelling in the spirit through necromancy. Actually, even now, Ive gained a lot of divine power from themander. So I didnt think of exploiting the believers in a big way. After scattering the divine power to the minimum amount to the followers, he soon turned his eyes to the power. Unlike divine power, there were a few more conditions attached to giving authority. Thats an annoying condition. Is contact with the target to give authority necessary? It seemed that physical contact with a believer was necessary to give power. However, this is not apletely useless feature. Its nothing else Then I think I can use this for Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon. It was because there were some who knew the face among the first-ss believers. It also belongs to the same earth dimension. I thought about giving him the authority, but I had no choice but to change my mind. Its because I dont have the authority to give it down anyway. Still, its a problem because I dont have that many powers to give. It was worth it. Could this also be due to the low status of being a godhead? Even if it did, it seems that only very low-level powers can be given If so, it didnt seem to be very useful for these two, the top challengers in the Earth dimension. I cant help it. Although it was slightly regrettable, it was better to stop giving powers at this point. Because I cant waste my strength by giving useless powers. It would be better to give good powers after umting enough power. In response, I texted Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon appropriately. Ill be going back to the tower soon, so I should tell you to know this. If I let them know that Im going to the tower, theyll hear less bitter words. With this, we are ready to go to the ce where we should be. So Time ends. Return to the Tower of Trials. Now its time to return to the real Tower. Chapter 274 274. Iron Blood Lord (2) I have entered the waiting room on the 22nd floor. In the blink of an eye, everything changes. Before I knew it, I had returned from the guest room on the side of the American Hunter Association to the deste stone chamber. I wasnt surprised in the slightest now. It just calms down likeing home. So, as soon as I realized that I had returned to the tower, I activated my exclusive authority. Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated. The admin-only secret shop is opened. Its nothing else [300000] points were paid to the admin-only secret shop. increases by 6. All the points obtained by clearing the 21st floor trials were invested in the ability. It was worth it. There is no particr item to buy in the shop. The current level of all abilities has exceeded 1000 and is now growing to 2000. So, I didnt think it was a waste to invest all my points in stats. Not even a little bit. Even though the power of godhoodes from divine power, I still need to raise my abilities. It was because he remembered a certain fact while fighting to the limit against the god of battle. Even if its a battle between gods, you cant solve everything with divinity. It was all the more so when I thought that I had been strangled by the god of battle before and was driven to the brink of death. Even then, if the durability value was low, I was the one who died It was possible to endure with the durability value to some extent, so the depersonalization skill was activated. If the skill activation time had not been dyed, he would have died instantly. Revisiting the importance of stats, I immediately sat down on the floor of the stone chamber. Originally, she responded to the ordeal as soon as she returned from Earth, but today is slightly different from the past. Lets use the rewards received from the American Hunter Association now. It was worth it. Because there are rewards from Joseph at the American Hunter Association. Even the contents are all potion items that can only be obtained in the tower. There are things I gained even before the decisive battle with the god of battle, so if I use it inbination with that, my growth will be certain. You have consumed the specified stat-up potion (A+). Select the stat to increase your stat. Ingested the designated stat-boosting potion (A+) Choose a stat that will increase the value Actually Selected. Challenger Han Sung-yoons strength +10 increase. Challenger Han Seong-yoons agility increases by +10 Challenger Han Seong-yoons physical strength increases by +10 increased by 40. Due to the random stat increase potion being mixed in, the increase in stats was slightly uneven but it didnt matter much anyway. Are there only skill proficiency potions left? There are a total of 12 skill proficiency potions currently in hand. However, if you calcte the total amount of actual skill proficiency increase, it is about 120%. The skill proficiency increase potions given by the American Hunter Association are all grade C+. The pay is tighter than I thought, but it must be unavoidable. However, he could not be dissatisfied with the American Hunter Association. This is because I robbed all the skill proficiency increase potions from the American Hunter Association. No matter how American the Hunter Association was, there were not many special potions that could be obtained from the tower. Even the best challengers can only get skill proficiency potions once in a while. It is difficult to take possession of it from an individual challenger to that of the Hunter Association. I cant ask them toe up with something they dont really have, so I have to be content with this. After thinking about it, I immediately drank all the skill proficiency increase potions. You took a skill proficiency up potion (C+). Select a skill to increase your proficiency. You took a skill proficiency up potion (C+) I took a skill proficiency increase potion (C+) Select a skill to increase my proficiency A system message poured in before my eyes like a waterfall, and skill options appeared. Originally, there wouldnt have been many skills to really grow the grade among these, but this time, many skills reached the brink of grade growth by defeating the god of battle. Its rewarding to have greatly raised the proficiency of almost all skills with the divine < Transcendence >. So, I was able to get a lot of benefit from investing in the skill proficiency increase potion. The mastery of the skill Intangible Sword (SS-) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Intangible Sword (SS-) has increased by one level. The skill Battle eleration (S-) Mastery has reached 100%. The level of the skill Battle eleration (S-) has risen by one level. The mastery of the skill Shock Block (A) has reached 100%. Skill The grade of Shock Block (A) is raised by one level. Skills that have been used in battle so far have grown once. Even the intangible sword skill achieved a grade increase for the first time since learning it. Not only that, butbat eleration and shock resistance are now higher grades, respectively. Its wonderful. With this, you will now be able to easily receive the power of your skills during battle. Thats how I smiled satisfied and then finished confirming the reward. Now, this is the end of the reward I received from the American Hunter Association. Now I can take on the challenge So now its my turn to climb the tower The manager, Iron-blooded Lord, is looking at the challenger, Han Seong-yoon. Soon after, a system message popped up. The manager, Iron-blooded Lord, asks challenger Han Seong-yoon to talk about a secret wish. In an instant, the thought of challenging the ordeal disappeared. . He must be the same The administrator, Sangblood Lord, invites you to the administrators area. He noticed through the system message. It means that the time to take on the responsibility that has been put off so far has arrived. In the end, Im going to do what I have to do. It is also a responsibility to bear as a contractor, not as a challenger. *** The moment you ept the invitation to the admin area. I have entered the world of Iron Blood. Before I knew it, I was standing in the snow-covered graveyard of swords. The air that touches the skin is cold. It feels as if this field of snow is holding onto your body like a bog. However, I soon cut off the hesitation that held me back and continued my steps. And as I walked like that, I was able to enter the cabin before I knew it. The manager, the Iron-blooded Lord, looks at the challenger Han Seong- yoon. As it has been so far, as I entered the cabin, the iron-blooded lord sent me a look. However, unlike before, there was a strange desire in her red eyes. It is the same desire as boilingva. And I didnt expect to see you this soon. I then said that and sat down. Still, to what extent did I get used to this ce? Now, the sense of distance has disappeared to the point where I feel closeness to the iron-blooded lord. In fact, she seemed to feel some familiarity with me too. Before he knew it, the iron-blooded lord smiled and spoke in a rxed voice. I agree. I thought youd decline the invitation again, as youve always done. For some reason, I epted it without hesitation. I know I havent turned down many invitations that far. Hoo. Isnt that pretty bold? Then can I be honest and tell you how many times you have turned down invitations? I immediately closed my mouth, and the iron-blooded lord covered his mouth andughed. Its good that you have a taste for teasing. Like its really fun too. Is that so I quietly replied as I saw the iron-blooded lord smiling like he was having fun. It was worth it. Anyway, its because Im used to this level of nonsense now. Ive heard this a lot from other women as well. I dont know what the hell is so funny about it. okay. If we had met during our Challenger days, I think we would have be friends. Thats pretty much it. The iron-blooded lord said that with regret. Perhaps if we had met during our challenger days, we would have be friends . Except for climbing the tower, I dont pay much attention to others anyway. In fact, among the challengers on the Earth level, only a handful of people have met many of them. Wouldnt it be more intimate with her now? Thinking so, I shook my head and opened my mouth. I dont think so. ? I still think I am close enough with the iron-blooded lord. Thank you for thinking that way Chi is intimate. okay. If you look closely at this, they must be close to each other But doesnt the iron-blooded monarch think so? She was startled, then lowered her eyes and said as if muttering. It even dyed his face red before he knew it. Even his fingers were fidgeting as if he didnt know what to do. Was it useless? It was only after I saw that that I realized that I had made a mistake toote. However, as the saying goes, you cant contain water that overflows from a cup. Since there is no way to take back what has already been said, I quickly changed the subject. It looks like you both enjoyed the chat, so why dont we get to the point? And a longing. I want to know more about the iron-blooded lords unfulfilled wish Soon after, the moment I talked to the iron blooded lord about my secret wish. Immediately, she opened her eyes wide once and sped her hands tightly. The iron-blooded lord then nodded as if he had made up his mind. it is. After all, the reason I called you was about my secret wish. But before that, you should ask this. The iron-blooded lord asked with a worried look. You you could die because of your longing. Will you go anyway? Thats it, theres nothing to ask Tell me carefully. Sungyoon Han. I heard about you from the top. That he killed the god of battle. Thats why I invited you here. Because now I feel like I deserve to make my wishe true. But you have the right to refuse. Rejection So if you refuse, its okay to refuse. But No. Despite her favor, I shook my head and replied that it was okay. I will not refuse. It was worth it. Anyway, the secret wish was something I wanted to achieve someday. I hated putting off time to achieve my secret wishter. On the 27th floor, I might end up killing the administrators. Anyway, even if it was a battle between the gods, we could predict victory enough now. There will be no point in postponing it now. So Nothing to worry about. The forced growth by dragging out time is now over. Immediately after that, she asked the iron-blooded lord to make her wishe true, and her eyes shook. I dont think I knew that the will to achieve my secret wish would be this big. But that was only for a moment. i get it. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Ill do whatever you want. I will not stop you now. The iron-blooded lord continued his speech with a stiff face. But at least I should exin the secret wish. As if to listen carefully, she calmed her eyes and began to exin. I have said it before. My world was invaded and destroyed by evil spirits. Do you remember? I definitely remembered. I remember. Then it seems easy to exin. A secret wish is a quest modeled after the trials of the tower. So this is no different from the world reproduced by the tower. Then Perhaps you are right. Sungyoon Han. You must protect the world from the evil spirits that invade my world. That is my earnest wish. Is that so. After hearing the Iron Blood Lords words, I could clearly understand. Is it to prevent evil spirits from invading the world of the iron-blooded lord recreated by the tower? At least, it could be said that it was not an easy difficulty. Even the godhead intervening in the secret wish is real, not the fake one reproduced by Top. Therefore, I must stop the evil spirits from invading the world in my secret wish. Its easy to understand if you think of it as a defense-type game youve yed as a child. Its just that we have to stop the invasion of the gods with a level of difficulty that cannot even bepared to other games. You just need to stop the invasion of evil spirits by following the correct steps in my world. The iron-blooded monarchs eyes lit up after he had said that. I think I can finish the exnation at this point, so I will make your wishe true as you wish. And Exclusive authority #G-0711[Hope of the Depths] of administrator Sangblood Lord has been activated. System messages appeared as if obscuring my view. Based on the wishes of the manager , Iron-blooded Lord, a special ordeal that is out of ss will be created. Determine whether to challenge the special contract ordeal < Wish of the Depths: Iron-Blooded Lord >. ept: You can enter the world of the manager Iron-Blooded Lord reproduced with the power of the tower. Rejected: Special Contract The ordeal < Deepest Desire: Iron-Blooded Lord > is cancelled. Before I knew it, the tower asked me to decide whether or not to make my wishe true. An option not worth thinking about. I immediately epted and the system message blinked and disappeared. Soon after, a certain amount of time has passed. A system message appeared in front of my eyes as an unfathomable force began to devour my body. Enter the Tower of Trials < Wish of the Depth: Iron-Blooded Lord >. Difficulty C Difficulty The subject of the ordeal is Iron-Blooded Lord. Its nothing else The special contract ordeal < Hope of the Depths: Iron-Blooded Lord > begins. Remaining time C 1 year Order breakthrough condition C within the remaining time, you must prevent the destruction of the world by the godhead. Things Trial Failure Conditions C Challengers death or the end of the remaining time Trial Breakthrough Reward C The level of reward will be determined by the Iron Blood Lords Appraisal Trial Failure Penalty C death Finally, the long-awaited ordeal it started Chapter 275 275. Iron-Blooded Lord (3) The special contract ordeal < Hope of the Depths: Iron-Blooded Lord > begins. Time remaining C 1 year Order breakthrough condition C within the remaining time, the destruction of the world by the godhead must be prevented. Things Trial Failure Conditions C Challengers Death or Remaining Time End Trial Breakthrough Reward C The reward level will be determined by the Sangvis Lords Appraisal Trial Failure Penalty C Death In the blink of an eye, in sight Everything thates in has changed. The moment when a force that is not even allowed to measure the depth swallows the body. I was able to notice that I had entered a ck space where there was nothing. I had to admire him, feeling breathless. Is this the power of the tower It was worth it. Even though he had reached the level of godhood, he couldnt deny the towers power Now he could see how alien the tower was to the gods. It seemed like he could understand why so many deities hated the tower but couldnt get rid of it. Did the Tower have enough to say that it would kill all the gods? The Tower of Trials had powers outside of the standard. Perhaps even an ancient deity would be close to impossible to deal with the tower. That is why even the dark gods and demons could not destroy the tower. But he knew that the tower was at least good enough to respect the ancient deity. If so, there was no answer at all. The gap with the tower is immeasurable, but its not a level that cant be reached forever. When you reach the level of an ancient deity, you will know the power of the tower. That too is very certain. At least, looking at the way the ancient gods dealt with the tower, this was no different from what was decided. So even though the road was long, I couldnt say that I couldnt see the end. Its power anyway, because it builds up over time. I think I need to grow faster. I felt a strong craving for power from him and soon came to my senses. It was worth it. Color began to return to a world dotted with ck. As time passed and the scene became brighter, I suddenly thought of the iron-blooded lord. Come to think of it, I didnt even have time to say goodbye to the iron-blooded lord. I came here to fulfill her longing, but its a pity that I couldnt say goodbye. Still, I was going to say goodbye But it was only for a moment that I felt so regretful. The world creation of the Special Contract Ordeal < Deep Depth: Iron-Blooded Lord > has beenpleted. Soon after, the system message that the world creation waspleted appeared. In an instant, all the equipment worn on the body lost its color and faded, then disappeared. As if I couldnt take the items with me from now on. In fact Some equipment is restricted from being worn and sent to the inventory. Challenger Han Seong-yoon has stats that are not suitable for the specificity of the ordeal. All stats are fixed at 700 each, which is at the end of the ordeal. It does not change until . However, a temporary increase in stats is applied, not a permanent increase in stats. However, growth-type abilities acquired within the ordeal will be recalcted after the ordeal is over. As soon as you see the system message I knew this was some kind of penalty. Restrictions on wearing equipment. One of the limitations that I experienced once while climbing the tower. However, if there is a difference from the limitations experienced before, it is probably that the level of penalty is different. All of the items I had obtained through countless experiences so far disappeared. That too without missing a single thing. Not even that. Not only equipment, but all stats are fixed at 700. All of a sudden, the level of all abilities dropped significantly. Roughly speaking, it is about half of the ability level of the normal state. Thats why I felt a tremendous sense of exhaustion dwelling in my body, and I squinted my eyes. Its not a very pleasant feeling. It was worth it. Because all of a sudden, all the stats went down to half or less. Perhaps, if he had descended below this level, his body would have exploded without being able to handle the divinity in his heart or the amount of magic power inherent in his magic circuit. In a word, it meant that all abilities were set to the minimum value. Then, is it an ordeal to the extent that I have to lower all my abilities? And Role selectionplete. Contender Han Seong-yoon is assigned the role of < Ten Seals > of the Northern Front. Proceed through the trials in order to satisfy the clear conditions of the ordeal. The next moment. This I couldnt help but frown as soon as the world fully regained its light. It was worth it. It was not enough to start in a shabby military barracks all of a sudden, and the clothes he was wearing changed. Its nothing else You achieved the achievement Enlist in the Imperial Army Your physical strength increases by 1 What the hell is this? Before I knew it, I was dressed like a soldier. *** Iughed out loud at the sudden change of clothes and the aplishment of the achievement. . and was able to recall the system message that popped up earlier. The cast has been selected. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is assigned the role of < Ten Seal > in the Northern Front. Proceed through the trials in order to satisfy the clear conditions of the trials. I guess this is what I said when I selected the role. I never thought that the role of the soldier in the ordeal of the secret wish would be a soldier. But there was no time to rx like that. Suddenly, the sound of a bell announcing the start of the ordeal came from outside. Ding Ding Ding Ding! As soon as I left the shabby barracks, I heard a voice spreading through magic. -Its a surprise attack! Foolish servants of evil spirits have appeared! Assemble all battle formations and gather! A voice as if it were a very precarious situation. I could grasp the information right away from that resounding voice. Its nothing different, this ce is like an army as I thought, and its currently struggling against the evil spirits. Thats why I quickly figured out what to do. First of all, Im telling you to get rid of the servants of the evil spirits that invade this ce. It was simple. Even if there are restrictions on items and abilities, solving the situation is not that difficult. It was worth it. The power Ive gained so far isnt enough to shake. But that didnt make everything feel easy. I heard that the reward for trials changes ording to the Iron Blood Lords feelings. The condition for clearing the ordeal is to defeat the evil spirit and prevent the destruction of the world. However, the reference point for the level of the ordeal reward was a little far from the clearing of the ordeal. After all, the reward for the trial is determined by how the iron-blooded lord feels. Then, first of all, he had to find out if the iron-blooded lord was recreated here, and if so, what position he had. That way, youll be able to build a liking for the Iron Blood Lord. Even if its not like that, theres a ce where people gather, so if you go there, youll get a rough idea of the situation. And It was as I thought. The moment you reach your destination along the moving route of people caught in the mood. Before I knew it, I could see a silver-haired beauty standing in the lead. Its also very familiar. It must have been. Listen, gentlemen! Iron Blood Lord. You are the ones who have been blessed by the Empire! So dont be afraid of the zealots who serve the ugly god! The challenger who once climbed the tower, and now the manager who signed a contract with me Go ahead and annihte all enemies! It was reproduced here as before bing a challenger for the tower. *** Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, the morale of the soldiers soared, and cheers were heard. In an instant, the unstable emotions of the soldiers changed ording to the flow. Its as if the sound of the song is getting rid of the noise by raising the sound. It was actually a simr principle. At least until the odds are gone, the noise wont be that big. But it wasnt very interesting. Its because the level of those gathered here is not high anyway. The variance between each individual is alsorge, and if you look at it asionally, some people are presumed to have been forcibly conscripted. Still, if I were to roughly measure the average, Id have to say its slightly better than the average person. Its not a useful level. In fact, I could read that sign in the iron blooded lord who stood in the lead. Is it because of how he looked before he became the chosen challenger to the tower? The iron-blooded monarch, whose youthful appearance was greatly emphasized, was shaking his emotions. Even that, a little bit of emotion was leaking from his face. It just seems unshakable because there is no one who can read the emotions disyed on that face. I can see why this is the iron blooded lords secret wish. It will probably beat the Empires armies unless the enemy is quite the idiot. It was worth it. Those who received the power of the godhead must at least be on a levelparable to the towers challengers. No matter how well you n your formation and strategy, it is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power. Perhaps in the original world, the Iron Blood Lord would have been greatly defeated. And somehow, at the end of surviving, I will be a challenger to the tower. Im guessing the iron blooded lord wanted to change that past. Then all you had to do was do what you wanted. It was then. Chief Ten! Suddenly, a red-haired man was startled and ran quickly. Could it be that it has something to do with the cast assigned to the ordeal? It looks like what are you doing here. Looking at him, I frowned and said as if asking. Chief of the Ten? yes! Chief ten! You are the Ron Ten Commander! Why are you still here!? Is Ron the name of the Ten Seal? yes? No, something like that Ha ha. Theres no time for such pranks right now. Really. Its not a joke if I have to argue, but Im serious . After thinking that, I turned my gaze to him and briefly asked what I needed to ask. Is there something I have to do as the decree? To be honest, this is what I was most curious about. isnt it natural? We are a group assigned to the back, not the front. So why dont we go to the rear now? What if I go to the rear? then the Ten Seal will be punished for breaking the militaryw. The current war situation is dire, so it could be ruled with the death penalty. Then what if I annihte all the enemies in front? Now I cant really go along with the jokes. It would be nice if you could answer the question. The red-haired man scratched his head, showing irritation, then sighed in reply. Mr. Ha. Perhaps then the Ten Seals will be promoted saying that credit is greater than sin. Thats it. To some extent. If the curiosity is resolved, the battle will begin soon, so we have to go to the rear now Then there is no need to go to the rear. And after hearing all of his words, I immediately turned around. It was worth it. Since he said that he would not be punished if he scored a goal even if he did not have to go to the rear anyway Rather, he thought of going through the trials with a sense of speed without wasting time. The Authority skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. very quickly too. Chapter 276 276. Iron Blood Lord (4) Whoa! The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. The moment the ck starlight shines brilliantly and is ced in your hand. The power of the holy light waspressed to its limit, and the energy flowed out, albeit slightly. It was probably only a very small fraction of the loss of power. But is that even an unbearable level? The reaction was less serious than I thought. This crazy!? A red-haired man broke into a cold sweat when he saw the suddenly created ck starlight. It even took a step back as if it was frightened. But that was only for a moment. Did the divinity control ability temporarily go down due to the downgrading of all stats? I immediately noticed the cause of the loss of power and held onto the power of the holy light. Also very thoroughly. And, as if that meant anything, the power of the holy light no longer remained and was condensed as it was. The red-haired man gasped as if he had finally caught his breath. Chief of the Ten How could that be how could such a thing be Quiet. yes? I think it would be better if you keep quiet. But I had no intention of being kind to the person in front of me. Because we wont see each other much anymore anyway. It was worth it. Perhaps the red-haired man belongs to the Ten Seals. Then you dont have to be so kind. Im going to do my best here and get a higher position than the decathlon. It may sound cold, but I had no intention of devoting my time to someone who was not very important. What is that Oh, and you wont have to worry so much about the departure of the ten seals. No, really, what the hell are you talking about I will kill all the enemies anyway. . No more questions? And the red-haired man who heard those words spat out augh. No Huh Really What His expression turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. In fact, he uttered random words that didnt even connect properly. Seeing him making a sound like a malfunctioning gramophone, I threw out my words. And as for the position of the Ten Commander, you can do whatever you want, whether or not youre the acting one. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Chief of the Ten Seals. Seriously, thats sane Then what? And Even if youre sincere, theres no way to stop it, right? next moment. So do whatever you want. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! As it was, ck starlight burst into the meadow where the enemies were. *** Divine starlight stains everything with death. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Is it because the ability to control the divinity is lowered and the condensation of the divinity is clumsy? Unlike the time when the Holy Light was used without any penalty, its power was weakened. That too, to a considerable degree. It probably wont be able to annihte all enemies with that one. Even that is not the only problem. My heart hurts because of the divinitys operation. Suddenly, the divinity dwelling in his heart was shaking and causing pain. It was worth it. Due to the current decline in all stats, he actually has only the minimum vessel to contain divinity and magical power. So, it was not unreasonable for his heart to throb every time he used his divinity. Maybe I should be prepared to have my heart burst at least once. If you use apotheosis, the story may be a little different. However, it is too early to use apotheosis here. As I watched the ck starlight explode beyond him, the surroundings became noisy. What! What is that! What kind of explosion suddenly!? I cant believe that those who serve the evil spirits are ying tricks! Rotten! what else is that? Did the dog-like demon use its power again? The emotions of many soldiers were greatly fluctuated, causing anxiety and confusion. The moment when emotions are about to swell up dizzy. As it was, I leaped lightly like a kick and stopped at a certain point. It was nothing other thannding right in front of the area where the soldiers had gathered. Chak-. Aplished the achievement Gaze The skill Charisma (C+) is created The skill Charisma is activated when the conditions are satisfied Everyone who looks at you I feel the authority of the user. Still, the first appearance itself came out well. The moment when a skill obtained by achieving a new achievement is activated. In the blink of an eye, eyes focused on me and everyone held their breath. It was worth it. Currently, following the newly acquired charisma skill, I am releasing the mana in my body to the outside. Thats why many people here must have felt an overwhelming presence. Actually How! How can you have such a depraved mana! What the hell is that! Skilled people who knew how to handle magic to some extent had to vomit in astonishment with their eyes wide open. Even if the level of magical ability was fixed at 700, it would be like a monster to them. Thats why it reacts so violently. Not even that. What is this again Is it because the outfit he is currently wearing is the imperial military uniform? One of the ten chiefs of the Imperial Army!? Most of those in the Imperial Army have noticed that I am a Decesal in the Imperial Army. It probably appeared on the side of the Imperial Army, so there is no room for refutation. Watching themotion grow like that, I smiled a little. The situation is getting better than expected? It was worth it. Originally, I thought of making my presence known by taking a little time But, its quick to notice if the Imperial Army has any skills in its own way. Satisfied with that, I gave strength to my legs again. The skill Combat eleration is activated. The skill Focus on Combat is activated The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated Its the same, so now I have to do what I have to do. Now its time to annihte the enemies who really serve the evil spirits. Boss skill skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 80%. Current skill ovep progress C [8] Its because! The moment when an elerated power skill was activated. As it was, I lightly kicked the ground and leaped again as before. In the blink of an eye, the body soared into the air, and then came into view of the earth. It was there as I thought. There were still many people alive in the ce where the star light exploded. And thats even more than expected. I questioned him for a moment, but the question was soon cleared. Its nothing else External power is blocked by the Seal of Sin, the exclusive effect of all Sin Fragments (SS+). A holy relic. It was probably a holy relic that was presumably obtained from an evil spirit. Thats why the power of the Holy Light, which the divine < Death > dwells in, was blocked to some extent. Now I could understand why so many enemies were still alive. As I frowned at him, another message popped into my field of vision. The divine power is sealed by the Evil Barrier, the exclusive effect of all Shards of Sin (SS+). What is this again? divine seal. Before he grew up as a true Godhead, the restrictions he experienced countless times tightened his heart. The power of the holy relic wraps around it as if it were going to count all divinities in the heart as nonexistent. But I didnt feel too much pressure. Unlike things. Because Divine < words > are used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed by the words that interfere with thews of the world. Take this away. Now that youre a real god, you can just get rid of these things. Kwajijijijijik-! In the blink of an eye, the gray barrier created by the holy relic is torn by the divine < Spirit of Words >. Even in the most gruesome form. Soon, the moment when the power of the holy relic was torn to shreds by the divine < Lord of Words >. Just like that, I used the trick of walking in the air and spurred through the air and fell down. Aaaaaaaaaagh-! very strong too. *** Deed!! As soon as my feet touched the ground, the ground rang as if it were about to explode. It looks like fruit crushed by the weight of a truck. Even the remnants of such a shock were unusual. Thousands of followers who had been hiding in the barrier of the holy relic were blown away in shock. That too is very fancy. Whoa-! Haha!? what what! It suddenly appeared out of nowhere Gap! What! where did youe from? How did you break the barrier again!? Did you dare to set foot in a ce blessed by God on the subject of an ugly heresy!! However, there were also those who endured the shock. Even among the believers in ck monastic uniforms, those who looked like demons with horns on their heads were like that. They spewed out different emotions as if squeezing them out, and immediately poured out ck energy. And I knew right away what it was. Its been a while since Ive seen Magi. The moment the waves of demonic energy pouring down like bombs hit the body. The skill Manmaji Kingfħ֮ is activated. Just like that, I absorbed the demonic energy as it was and converted it into a part of the bodys magical energy. Because Margie doesnt hate me either. Its also very neat. Then, he swallowed up all the demonic energy and activated one of his skills. A skill that I had no choice but to neglect because I couldnt find a chance to use it recently. Its been a long time since Ive seen an opponent who uses magic, shouldnt I use my strength appropriately? The skill Punishment(P) is activated. All stats increase by +7 during the active time of the skill. Magic power is never consumed during the active time of the skill. The power of the dragon is on you. It dwells on you and increases your magical ability by 100%. In an instant, the amount of magical energy inside the body doubled, and the consumption of magical energy disappeared. But the enemies were not afraid. no. To be honest, I was even more angry than before. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Are you using the demon kings power on a heretic! It is not allowed to ugly unbelievers! Trash aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What a low thing! Do not dare to use the power of the Demon King without the permission of the Evil God! The followers, who have changed into demons in ck monastic uniforms, scatter uncleanness. Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, the challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of the < Nemesis >. Those who do not have a will cannot resist your divine power. From now on, the effect of < Chaos > will be added to Challenger Seongyoon Hans divine operation. When < Chaos > is activated The enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. As the enemys negative emotions grow, the efficiency of faith extraction also increases. And Since < Chaos > is active, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. . The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. Thats good. The moment when all the overflowing nasty emotions were absorbed into the heart. I smiled at him and immediately raised the divinity in my heart. My heart creaked like an old board, but it wasnt much of a problem anyway. Even if my heart exploded, it would be enough to recover with the gray bloody skill. Thats why Did I get everything I can get? Before I knew it, I was able to use divinity right away without any shaking. Using Divine < Death > You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. And Divine < Death > is used. By consuming divine power, reality You can influence the world with your words. However, a lot of divine power is consumed by the words that interfere with thews of the world. All die. The next moment. PABABABABABABANG-! The heads of numerous believers who worshiped evil spirits exploded all at once, and flowers of fresh blood bloomed. And in too many numbers to count. Chapter 277 277. Iron-blooded lord (5) A mark of ink flowed on thend now covered with red blood. And as soon as I saw it, I smiled lightly. It was worth it. Absorbed the spirit of the believer Lundrium Absorbed the spirit of the follower Kaldraf Absorbed the spirit of the follower Eskelpie Its salty. Its been a long time since Ive had a chance to get manymandments through necromancy. Even the benefits dont end there. The moment he absorbed all the spirits of the blood-stained meadow. A new system message appeared in front of me, and I felt my divinity rise. Challenger Seong-yoon Han is 0.000008% closer to the 2nd Ascension by winning against Deity. As a special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >, you will acquire the exclusive effect Save Magic (B-). From now on, Challenger Seong-Yoon Han will You can save Magi. Thats very certain. This I couldnt help butugh and admire him. At most, despite dealing with those who were not even preliminary apostles, his strength had risen considerably. Its a level that doesnt even reach 0.1% but still, I couldnt help but draw a smile with satisfaction. The speed at which the level of divinity grows is quite amazing. It was worth it. Unlike before I formally obtained the power of a godhead, the current me has be a true godhead. But just by winning consistently like this, you can gradually increase your level of divinity? Its going to grow to a truly ridiculous level. Originally, even if it took several years, I wouldnt be able to grow even a little. However, once the Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > was activated, at least the growth did not stop. Perhaps I can reach a higher ce if I climb the tower without stopping. Expectations were inted at the level of growth of the outright divinity. What would happen if the percentage of the second ascension really reached 100%? Will I be able to join the ranks of the ancient gods then? And if it is to the point of being in the ranks of the ancient gods, what will be different from before? So how far can you go with it? Pleasant curiosity was derived countless times and drew an arc at the corner of the mouth. Due to the high level of divinity, the heart wasining of severe pain, but that was the case. Before I knew it, I could feel my heart beating pleasantly. Now the anticipation is greater than the pain. But that didntst too long either. After a few deep breaths, I shook my head. Still, thats forter. Its not something to be excited about anymore. okay. Not yet. Imagination is good, but this is just forter. The amount of 2nd Ascension obtained through Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > was not even half. So its better to stop here to think how far we can go. After thinking about it, I checked the exclusive effect obtained from < Divine Rise > of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. Come to think of it, its been a while since Ive had an exclusive effect. At the end of a decisive battle with the god of battle, he obtained exclusive effects that he did not get even after winning. So, shouldnt there be some kind of confirmation on this? In response, I immediately focused my mind and activated the exclusive effect Storage of Magic (B-). It was then. Special condition satisfied. The exclusive effect Generate Magic (C-) obtained with < Divine Rise > responds to the exclusive effect Storage Magic (B-). < Divinity Rise > satisfies the synthesis condition It is recreated bybining exclusive effects with each other. Suddenly, a system message popped up, and I felt something essential mixed up. This is a phenomenon that I have never seen before, even though I have acquired many exclusive effects with Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >. The moment I squinted my eyes at an unknown phenomenon. All of a sudden, something new came into y. Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > attempts to synthesize and learns the exclusive effect, Magical Circuit (A+) . Could it be that exclusive effects can also bebined with each other? Exclusive effects can now bebined with the Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >. Of course, its not that Ibined exclusive effects with my own will Even so, I was surprised because I hadnt seen it before. I thought about it with a twinkle in my eyes. It is a force that cannot be manipted freely yet. But maybe, what if we gradually grow the ascension of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >? Just as you can use the power of divinity freely, wouldnt it be easier to use the power of mythology? Perhaps this could be a new use of the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >. Interesting. Thats huge too. *** I calmed down my excitement and immediately confirmed the power of the exclusive effect. The exclusive effect Magical Circuit is activated. The users magical energy can be temporarily changed to Magic. It wasnt that difficult to use the power of the Magi Circuit. At the same time as the exclusive effect was activated, I felt a part of the power of the magic circuit change. A slimy ck aura protruded from the tip of the index finger. Is it even because the magic circuit has be a powerful skill? As the power of the magic circuit was optimized to the demon, the level of the demon changed dramatically. Its very special too. I could immediately notice how much Magi had changed. Because I was used to the power mixed with the Magi hanging from the tips of my fingers. Divine power dwells in the magic created by the newly acquired exclusive effect. What the hell is this? Id never seen a demon in this form before. It was worth it. Originally, Magi is a racial trait and at the same time a privilege given to demons or demons. And even if it was a godhead, it wasnt much different. Of all the divine powers I had ever seen, I had never seen a case in which the demonic energy was put in such a way. thats interesting. But even so, it didnt seem like he could do anything with Magi. At most, it would be to the extent of strengthening the body with demonic energy. Perhaps there was something special about Magis use At least, it didnt seem like he could figure it out. However, I made some pretty good gains. Still, I found something interesting. At least if I knew how to use Magi, I might be able to use it differently. So it was worth remembering. It would be okay to catch demons or demonster and learn about demons. In fact, the best thing to do is to ask the dark gods or demons . Its difficult toe into contact with the Dark God and the Demon God. It was worth it. Its even an ancient deity, so Ill have to deal with a huge causal rate to meet it. Unlike seeing the deities in the giant treebyrinth, you cannot see them from the outside. This is because among the deities, the one to which the causalw is most applied is the ancient deity. Therefore, contact with the ancient deity is a bar that the luck of the tower should work. But there was no way the tower would allow that. It would be quicker to find the devil. I sorted out my thoughts before I knew it, and I captured and retrieved the magic that I had used for a while. Anyway, its a power that I cant use right now. As it is, it should be enough to be aware of demons to some extent. I really hope that the day wille when I learn the power of magic. Then shall we go now? And as soon as I finished thinking about it, I immediately activated my authority and spread my wings. The Authority Wings of Steel is activated.] Chow! Then he quickly soared into the air and found the Imperial Armys garrison. Perhaps because of the battles here, I thought that the Imperial Army could withdraw but as I thought, the Imperial Army did not abandon its garrison and retreat. If I had to ask, Id say its quite the opposite. Have you decided to at least wait and see the situation for now? It was worth it. At least it would be an ambiguous situation to regard me as an enemy. He wouldnt even know if he was really in a situation where he had to withdraw from the Imperial Army. So it could be said that it was natural to wait and see the situation. At least, that was until all those who worshiped the evil spirit died. Boss skill Steel Wings is deactivated.] Hit-. Soon, the moment he slowly folded his wings andnded at the location of the Imperial Army Garrison. Many peoples eyes were focused on me, andplex emotions touched my skin. I was able to know it through the power to detect the emotions I gained after bing a god. All of the Imperial forces present here feel a slight fear. Even on a fairly modest level. Even unlike before, no one vomited something astonishing. He just looked at me with trembling eyes as if he couldnt believe it. The moment I look at it and think about whether I should bring up the story first from this side. Suddenly, a woman riding a horse in the lead spoke up. A very familiar face, too. You are nothing else Who are you? He was an iron-blooded monarch. She asked with a look of deep wariness on her face. As if it were considered as a potential enemy in fact. Even her red eyes contained confusion that could not be concealed. Perhaps speaking negatively here, I would have to fight the Imperial Army right away. But Thats right, you can tell by looking at my clothes, right? I had no intention of saying anything negative anyway. It was worth it. This is a world of trials reproduced by the managers earnest wish. I dont know if it speeds up the progress of the story, but you cant go against the flow at all. The december belonging to the Imperial Army. So Thats me. Now that the battle is over, its time to start the story in earnest. I dealt with all the servants who serve evil spirits as the Imperial Army. Even So, can we talk about the merit that I will receive? That too very quickly. *** Surprisingly, the hostility of the Imperial Army was easily resolved. The situation worked out better than I thought. It was worth it. After all, he was a ten-seal from the Imperial Army, so he couldnt be kicked out. It was all the more so because he proved it by annihting the believers who worshiped evil spirits. Not even that. Imperial army decathlon. Your affiliation I knew for sure. So treat yourself ordingly. The iron-blooded lord resolved his hostilities after seeing that he belonged to the Imperial Army. no. Perhaps, to be precise, he was looking for gains and losses rather than resolving hostilities. He was a suspicious person who did not know why, but he knew that he was themander of the decree belonging to the Imperial Army. Then you cant just throw it away without using it. Even considering the power of the Imperial Army, its more like that. The current imperial army did not have a very high individual level. Regardless of strategy or formation, the level of fighting must be matched to some extent. However, there is nothing that can be done since the battle is not established in the first ce. Thats why the iron-blooded lord was a gambler. Even if its an unknown bomb like me that suddenly appeared, Im sure theyre trying to use it well. The iron-blooded lord was forced to do so. To the point where I had to use a mysterious talented person who appeared out of nowhere. Actually Imperial army decree. Ron. I certainly knew your meritorious service. Currently, I have been invited to the Iron Blood Lords exclusive barracks. Even if you abandoned your position as chief of the december and acted as you wished, it would not count as ack of merit. She sat upright and stared at me. As if they would respond to a surprise attack at any time. Actually, if you look at the level of magic flowing through her body, it should be possible. It must be at least on the same level as the Sword Master I saw in themon area on the 21st floor. Thats what I thought. So tell me what you want. What should I do to gain the trust of the iron blooded lord? Then, at the discretion of the millenniummander, I will reward you ording to your performance. Soon after, the iron-blooded lord said that as if he had made up his mind. Then I can say it simply. Deciding what to do with the trial, I nodded and opened my mouth. Anyway, it didnt matter much about the rewards you would get here. The reward you get afterpleting the special contract ordeal is important. Then it would be better to just talk about the point here. I will tell you directly. Thats how Cheonjangnim. With this, you will be able to raise the level of rewards you will receive after the ordeal. All I need is your trust. Thats a very big word too. Chapter 278 278. Destroyer (1) Trust. In fact, this is tantamount to receiving it from the Iron Blood Lord, the manager. She is one of those who knows my worth better than anyone else. Thats why Ive never spared my support, and as a result, Ive sent myself here. However, it is not the iron-blooded monarch right in front of you. Theres no way you can trust me because Ive been reproduced by the tower. It was worth it. Its nothing else, because Im like an irregr who fell from the sky. To have this much power even with only ten soldiers leading? Perhaps withmon sense, you can know that something is twisted beyond being suspicious. So there was no way I could be trusted. The earnest reward is determined by the iron-blooded lords emotional state. But I couldnt give up on being trusted. Then I have to earn at least some level of trust. Thats why I openly proposed a deal like this. I dont want much reward, so please trust me. The iron-blooded lord decided to appoint and use me, an openly dubious being. It is also in the form of recognizing meritorious service and giving a high position. Therefore, the probability of epting such a deal was high. Indeed Trust. What a nonsense word. You want nothing. The iron-blooded lord said that as if he couldnt understand at all. It wasnt a negative reaction. Its just that hermon sense doesnt understand the current situation. Maybe I would have reacted the same way. Thats why I added a minimal exnation. Its not that I dont want anything. All I really need is your trust. That sounds iprehensible. Is that so. okay. That soundspletely iprehensible. dear I am the celestialmander of the Empire. I know. Even with the many achievements he made in this war, he will soon rise to the position of the general. In short, there are many things that can be achieved. Yes. Its not just my trust, I can give you a lot. Money, power, and even a guaranteed future. And yet But I dont even want that kind ofpensation. Before the iron-blooded lord could speak, I shook my head and said. All of that is useless to me anyway. And with a more serious attitude. Thats what I didnt mean anything. Its really useless. Then I cant understand even more? well. I dont think I can say any more. Because there are circumstances. Is that so Still, if Im going toe up with an answer I can understand, lets say its paying back the debt I owed in the past. You couldnt gain trust if you didnt even look around properly anyway. Then it would be better to mix half truth and half lie. In fact, while climbing the tower, it is not wrong to say that he owed some debt to the iron-blooded lord. The iron-blooded lord narrowed his eyes and acted as if he couldnt understand. what else does it mean to pay my debt? Where have you seen each other before? I have received many things from you in the past. no. I have no memory of that. Even more so for someone like you. I guess so. you wont remember That is why I want to be trusted. Only then did the iron-blooded lord nod as if he understood. At least I know one thing about you now Is that so? okay. You are an iprehensible person in the normal category. So it must be difficult to understand. It is. But I know to some extent that what you say is not a lie. The iron-blooded lord calmed his eyes and said. If your purpose is my sincere trust, I will give it to you. And when I heard those words, I immediately felt her feelings through the power of a godhead. Even though I could feel the feelings close to the heart, the depth was shallow. It was worth it. It would be difficult to really give faith to someone who suddenly appeared. But it didnt matter. Then, thats it. There is still plenty of time left. Even if the process of building trust continued from now on, there was no such big problem. Thinking so, he nodded, and the iron-blooded lord spoke as if he had suddenly remembered. Come to think of it, we didnt even know each others names. Is your name Ron? As if asking if it was a fake name. I shook my head and epted that it was a fake name. Because there was no need to hide it. Because the name doesnt mean much anyway. no. My real name is Sungyoon Han. You should know that. When the iron-blooded lord heard those words, he pressed his temples as if his head hurt. I didnt think it was possible, but was it really a pseudonym? To deceive the eyes of the empire and hide your name. My head hurts. Is that a big problem? no. Your power is too strong to make it an issue. So, I will not pursue it at the discretion of the thousand chief. Thats it. As I thought, there was not much room for the Imperial Army at the moment. To the extent that it is difficult to severely punish me, a talented person who suddenly appeared. So even cheating on the name like this would be easily overlooked. After that, there will be many ces where I need to use my strength. Its Han Seong-yoon. What a strange name. I hope thats not a pseudonym either. Not really. Thats it. The iron-blooded lord nodded as if he agreed. Now it is our turn to introduce ourselves. She brushed her silver hair and held out her hand as if to shake hands. Lets formally introduce ourselves. Sungyoon Han. It is called Canary Rugfeld. and. Please do well in the future. I nodded my head as the iron-blooded lord held out his hand. All right. Now, the basic qualifications to receive the rewards of the ordeal have been prepared. *** As soon as she finished the deal with the Iron Blood Lord, she narrowed her eyes. You said you wanted my trust, but your power is definitely out of the norm. And as soon as she said that, she continued as if it had to be this way. Han Seong-yoon. Your position will rise to the rank of centurion. And I will give you the authority ordingly. But I have no intention of taking on the responsibilities of a centurion. Its okay though. Even if its just a fa?ade, its better to have it. That will make your activities easier. Then it doesnt matter. If there was nothing to be responsible for, the position was fine. Then, the rank is decided by this. The iron-blooded lord nodded and then continued. You will now assist me. But before that, I need to point out one thing. The thing that needs to be pointed out is Your position was originally that of the chief of the Ten Seals. Then you dont even know the truth about the empire. truth? When I asked him again, frowning, the iron-blooded lord nodded as if he knew that. Yes. truth. About how far the empire has been driven by evil spirits. You dont know. To be honest, I know that at least the world is about to perish Still, its better to know the situation to some extent. Actually, I didnt know the details, so I silently listened to the Iron Blood Lords exnation. The current empire has been driven to the brink of end. Im just guessing. You guessed it? yes. Isnt the end of the world as well as the empire about toe because of the evil god? I know that. you. Definitely amazing. Regarding the end of the world, there are many people who do not know even among the millennials. Is that so. The iron-blooded lord admired for a moment, then spoke as if he had saved himself. Then there is no need for a long exnation. Sungyoon Han. Currently, the Empire is trying to prevent the end of the world. She frowned as if the thought of it was unpleasant. All the priests in the empire said the same thing. After some time, evil spirits will descend on thisnd. So, you have to be prepared before then. Is that so. okay. I dont know about other countries, but at least the empire is thoroughly prepared for this. But the servants of evil spirits are blocking this. I guess so. To be honest, from the point of view of the evil god, its like doing something very annoying. He hated the Empire doing anything and would have fired the candle at every step. At least, it would have been the case with the evil spirits I had seen before. Its like a child with no patience. Then the previous raid must have been in the same vein. Yes. Currently, the soldiers here are on their way to the ck Dragon in the west. He is the one who protects the Dark Elf n. Can a dragon do something for you? At least the priests of the empire said so. Be recognized by persuading the seven dragons that protect the world. That is the least way to protect the world. hmm. I thought about the dragon while holding my chin for a while. I dont know much about dragons. It was worth it. The only dragon encountered so far was a puppet, once a native deity, brought back to life by necromancy. But suddenly you have to convince the dragon to be recognized? I didnt know anything about dragons, so it was a bit of a burden. Thats why I immediately asked the iron-blooded lord. Then, is there any means to be recognized by the dragon? no. The priests of the empire said that each dragon would have different needs. You may want riches or you may want people. Or he said he might not admit it at all. . But, other than the dragons who have been protecting the world for hundreds of years, there is no one else who can stop the invasion of evil spirits. In short, youre trying to gain recognition from the dragon no matter what you do. yes. For that purpose, the Empire also prepared a negotiating card. A lot of that too. Now I can properly understand the context of the ordeal. In a nutshell, its about following the iron-blooded lord and persuading the seven dragons. Currently, this special contract ordeal is asking me to convince the dragons to save the world. I can understand why the remaining time of the ordeal was one year. It wasnt enough that the followers who worshiped the evil spirit invaded in every case, and there was even a separate quest. So it wouldnt be strange if the ordeal usuallysted over a year. However, upon reflection, it seemed that it was not necessary. After all, this is enough to be recognized by the dragons. Then, as long as the dragons lifeline is alive, it doesnt matter what I do, right? And since he was thinking rationally before he knew it, the iron-blooded lord said. So, I hope you will protect the Imperial Army until we go to the ck Dragon. Then I will truly trust you No. It doesnt have to be. I can receive the dragons approval. And when she said that, as if the iron-blooded lord had stopped speaking, her eyes twinkled. Really!? and. Certainly you have the means to convince even that dragon! next moment. Thats right. Before I knew it, I smiled broadly. Even a dragon will change its mind if it gets hit. And thats a clearer smile. huh? The iron-blooded lords eyes hardened as he did, but unlike her, my smile deepened even more. Do not worry. It was worth it. Because the persuasion of the dragons will end sooner than I thought. It doesnt matter what each dragon wants. Because everyone has a reasonable desire. Until one hit and a slight taste of death. Chapter 279 279. Destroyer (2) I learned something about the seven-colored dragons that exist all over the world. I heard that if all the dragons work together, they can suppress the power of the gods who want to invade the world. Its not that special. I just learned that dragons y the same role as native deities in this world. Maybe if the dragons join forces, the world wonte to an end right away. At the very least, it would be possible to prevent the divinity from running amok on thisnd. At least, that would be the case until the evil spirit came directly. I guess the process of the trial is to get all the dragons recognition. And ordingly, the dragons will have to get what they want and give them away. Without looking at it for a long time, the contents will be drawn in your head. However, I had no intention of taking the dragons recognition so hard. Because Even if its a dragon, it will be mild if you defeat it a few times. Because I am not weak enough to follow the progress of the ordeal as it is now. At least the enemies who didnt even have a divinity were not worth fighting. Not even a little bit. Unless the dragon bes a formal god, there will be no other way to resist. It was worth it. The power he gained while growing as a godhead is at that level. Even a native deity could easily subdue it. So even though I knew I was going to the ck dragon, I didnt worry about anything. If you dont have a tolerable level of strength and dignity, you wont be able to do me any harm. I dont think its thatplicated. However, the iron-blooded lord seemed to have a different idea. My dear. That Yesterdays statement about defeating the dragon was just a joke, right? Suddenly, the iron-blooded lord spoke abruptly as if he was uneasy. Currently, I am riding a horse and attached to the Iron Blood Lords side. She patted the horses reins, her eyes shing nervously. Actually You just have to protect the Imperial Army until you go to the dragon. In the words of the iron-blooded lord, I felt an indelible anxiety. There is also a negotiation n prepared by the Empire, so you dont have to use that much effort. Its as if youre telling me to stay still and not think like this. Actually, I dont intend to follow that, but if I say no anyway, what will they say? So, after listening to her words, I nodded and replied. All right. a face that doesnt seem to understand at all. no. Ive got it right, so dont worry. then it wouldnt matter. Even if I talk anyway, I dont think theyll listen. The iron-blooded lord said that as if he was dumbfounded, then immediately cut off his words. Perhaps now he has learned that no matter what I say, he doesnt listen. Anyway, it wasnt too bad, so I passed the time quietly on my horse. And he repeated his victories against the servants of evil spirits who often appeared. But the harvest was not so great. Challenger Seong-yoon Han is 0.00007% closer to the 2nd ascension by winning the enemies. As a special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >, you will acquire the exclusive effect, Increase in demonic energy (D-). From now on, Seong-yoon Han of the challenger Magis concentration slightly rises. It was all thepensation that could be said to be dust at most. It was worth it. Because there was no enemy at the level of an apostle among those who worshiped the evil spirits who attacked them so far. Even if they brought items such as holy relics, no one with a high rank came. And thats just one person. As if looking at the level, only useless guys are being sent. Maybe Im trying to look at the power I have Anyway, in the face of overwhelming power, it was meaningless to look at something and unfold a strategy. Divine magic, skill, power, etc Among the many abilities I currently have, none of them can handle it properly. So, even if those who serve evil spirits are plotting something, it isughable. Theres no way I can measure the level with just these things. At the very least, if he tried to bring out all his power, the evil spirit would have to appear. Not as an incarnation, but as a body. However, there was no way that the evil spirit could appear immediately without establishing thew of cause and effect. At the very least, there must be something instrumental that can bring about the end of this world. So, time passed without meaning. And Achievement Dragon Seeker has been achieved. Exclusive permission #D-0007 [Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 4. Before I knew it, I was able to arrive at the forest where the ck dragon lives. *** Great Tree Forest. We arrived at the Dark Elf ns domain and at the same time the ck Dragon settled down. I quietly widened my senses and looked beyond, and the iron-blooded lord was genuinely impressed. I never thought I coulde here without any damage She nced back at the soldiers with her red eyes shining like starlight. You have aplished a great feat against the servants of the evil spirit. And the iron-blooded lord smiled, and soon reached out his fist and touched his shoulder. Is it because weve been talking to each other and getting to know each other? Iughed at her yful behavior. Still, Ive never expressed emotions like this before. Even the iron blooded lord with whom he had a rtionship as a manager had never behaved so casually. Even for a few days, she tried to hide her emotions and read her intentions. It means that the iron-blooded monarchs feelings are gradually getting closer To be honest, I felt proud that I made her open her heart, even though it was the reward of the ordeal. Although I haventpletely opened the wall of my heart yet. Still, shouldnt we put significance on moving forward? Han Seong-yoon. The iron-blooded lords red eyes sparkled with a hint of trust. It is your achievement that the Imperial Army came here without shedding blood like this. It was worth it. Its because Ive beening here and ying all the followers who worship evil spirits. But even so, I didnt act too proud and answered simply. It actually wasnt that difficult either. Is that so. The iron-blooded lord said with a smile on his face. Yes. Without your strength, the Imperial Army would not have been able toe here. There really is no such thing as a dream. If so, Im d. Perhaps, if we seed in persuading the ck Dragon and return to the empire, we will be able to move beyond the position of general manager and obtain the position of monarch. she continued with a bright smile. If that timees, I will be able to fulfill my wish. An expression like that of an innocent girl chasing her dreams. hope? I had to pause for a moment. It was worth it. Isnt the iron-blooded lords secret wish not to be able to protect the empire? However, as he was suddenly speaking of another wish, he could not help but be interested. But there was no time to worry about it. Living Suddenly, I felt the feeling of living beyond the Great Forest. Soon, the moment he got off the horse with cold eyes. An arrow imbued with magic that was shot without a sound aimed at the forehead. Knock-! But I grabbed the arrow with my left hand right before it hit the middle of my forehead. Even if it had magical powers, the level wasnt that high. In fact, even the iron-blooded lord easily blocked the arrows. Kwajik-! Is it an arrow shot by the Dark Elves? Excessive. They are more aggression than normal elves. The iron-blooded lord said that, frowning as if it hurt to hit the arrow with the back of his hand. And ordingly, a voice was suddenly heard from beyond. Its also very cold. -Are you here to cross the line on the subject of pollutants abandoned in the world? Its a technique that spreads voices with magic power, isnt it? But thanks to that, I was able to roughly know the level of the opponent. Isnt the level of the n called the Dark Elves too high? It was worth it. Perhaps the one who delivers the words is one of thebatable members of the n The level is very low after tracing back to where the magical power in the air leads to. If I were to be a challenger to the tower, should I say that he is only at the level of a 10th floor? However, I was surprised to see him showing such confidence. Its certain that at least the mind itself is twisted. The moment when heughed at the opponents foolishness. -You Suddenly, the voice in the air became even colder. -Why are youughing so much at the subject of mere polluted garbage? me? -Yes. you. human male. Just looking at your face makes me sick to my stomach. why did you smile Thats right, youreughing because youre doing something funny, right? -You mean its fun? Thats right. You dont know what it is and suddenly get angry. A knack for entertaining people. -under! Whats so fun about being angry? As you can imagine, the contaminants dont really know their subject! Honestly, at this point, isnt there a little bit of a problem with your mind? I was dumbfounded to see the Dark Elves suddenly talking about pollutants like that. It made me want to send out at least a starlight and set the forest on fire. But I held back my anger by letting out a deep sigh. Han Seong-yoon. It was worth it. Dont consume your emotions on the dark elves. It was because the iron-blooded lord ced a hand on his shoulder and asked for it. Its only over if I get permission to meet the ck dragon anyway. Actually, there is nothing wrong with that. If you can get in touch with the ck dragon, those things dont matter too much anyway. As I sorted my thoughts out like that, the thought of using unnecessary energy soon disappeared. lets wait. The ones that dont matter too much anyway. Its over when I meet the ck dragon. And soon, I controlled my anger and continued. Dark Elf. Currently, the world is in chaos because of evil spirits. You should know this. Its nothing else Im just going to get recognition from the ck dragon for protecting the world. As an intelligent creature, it attempted negotiation. So, if you get out of the way, I will meet the ck dragon without getting entangled with you. okay. Perhaps this is the right thing to do. As people often say, if you memorize patience three times, you can avoid even murder. Even a dark elf whocks intellect can ovee it without a fight if he has patience -Yes! you know well Theyre fighting against each other, polluted scum. So what is it? . -ck Dragon is the guardian of the Dark Elf n! Polluted things like you cant meet! Ugly, disgusting, contradictory beings! -Even if the evil spirit rules the world, the ck Dragon will protect the Dark Elves! There is no way to stop the evil spirits from cleaning up all the pollutants! Ha -You guys are just polluting the given nature, isnt it? Just be trampled on and die. And he cried out bitterly and apologized to us Then lets stop now. Only then did I interrupt the Dark Elf with a smile. It was worth it. Because I knew that the dark elf n wasnt as gentle as I thought. And then I immediately activated the power skill and continued. Kiyiying-! The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing the divine < death > is created. It was only now that I realized that the saying that if you have three people to endure, you can avoid murder is wrong. -What! Wait a minute! human! You! What the hell are you trying to do! It was worth it. For now, lets settle our anger once and negotiate like intelligent creatures. If its just one murder from the beginning, isnt it necessary to memorize the seal three times? Then you will be able to think rationally too. And Isnt it? next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the blink of an eye, ck starlight engulfed half of the Great Forest. Chapter 280 280. Destroyer (3) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! As soon as the holy light was activated, a fierce explosion sounded in my ears, and the situation changed dramatically. The ck starlight engulfed the vast forest like a beast, opening its mouth. very quickly too. Even Kwagwagwagwagwagwa! The ck starlight was not satisfied with just devouring the Great Forest. The holy light, imbued with divine < death >, shimmered like a runaway, burning everything as it was. In the blink of an eye, half of the forest waspletely erased, and only a roar was heard in my ears. But that was only for a moment. Chii-. Its cool. Soon, the moment when the noise in my ears disappeared. About 60% of the Great Forest was burned down, leaving only ashes. It looks as if most of the Great Forest has been erased with an eraser. Even so, the size of the great forest itself is overwhelming, and the actual damage wont be that great because it was aiming for a ce where there were no people. maybe. But at least with this Ill be able to shut the mouths of the Dark Elves. He didnt even want to get rid of all the Dark Elves in the first ce. Even if they are stubborn, they cannot help but want tomit mass murder. Maybe the top could go crazy as it wants if it continues like this. But even so, I couldnt stay quiet like this. Still, I couldnt waste my time meaninglessly. Currently, the Dark Elves are feeling the murderous intent of the human visit itself. It probably would have bothered me quite a bit if I had used moderate measures here. Rather, it is a reasonable course of action to open the way even with such force. When I finished thinking like that, a system message appeared in front of my eyes. Achievement Worst Arsonist has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 15 It rises. And reading the system message, my conscience pricked me. For some reason, I feel like the tower has been branded as trash. But anyway, wouldnt it be okay if the results were good? In fact, by aplishing this achievement, I was able to obtain a high stat increase. As soon as I brushed off the difort, the iron-blooded lord next to me spoke with a pale face. Han Seong-yoon What the hell is this An expression as if he couldnt understand the current situation. Why did you destroy the Great Forest? Indeed, the iron-blooded lord was tinged withplex emotions. It was worth it. The powers Im currently demonstrating are definitely at a level beyond the human category. You must have been surprised to see with your own eyes enough power to change the terrain itself in the blink of an eye. Actually, being able to talk to her like this is a miracle, isnt it? Even the soldiers here are sending emotions of shock and fear, so it is all the more so. He couldnt even open his mouth because his body was swallowed up by the shock. That could be said to be amon reaction. At least, her level is about the level of a sword master, so it must stop at this level. Not even that. Even if he had the power, he wouldnt have known that he would destroy the Dark Elves realm in the first ce. Even me, just a few minutes ago, didnt know I could do this. But Its a mistake. huh? I tried to hit it properly, but it seems to have failed. No. From where you look, you can say that this is a mistake No. Its a mistake. There are no casualties anyway, so its okay, right? Even the iron blooded lord closed his mouth when he said it was a mistake after putting a very slight iron te on his face. Perhaps there was a mistake in adjusting the output. Originally, I had no intention of going this far. Really. my dear. Its kind of like saying this, though. Dont you often hear that you are impudent? Not at all? Even if its true that a little iron te was put on the face, its not to the extent that its shameless. And Ive never heard anyone say that his personality is so shameless. So far, when I say it was a mistake, most of them have admitted that it is. Thats very certain. At least the demons and demons didnt say it was shameless to say this. although it was a slightly powerful word. Thats it Youre really an erratic being The Iron Blood Lordughed incredulously before ending the conversation. Then she gave instructions to the soldiers. Its nothing else The two of us will go to the Dark Elves, so you guys should wait here for a while. At best, all the soldiers I brought were waiting here. Why are you leaving all the soldiers you brought with you? When I asked him why he was doing that, he immediately heard a voice mixed with a sigh. Isnt it because of that mistake of yours? ? Originally, it was intended to keep the Dark Elves in check, and in the worst case, even engage. So I brought the soldiers but now its useless. ah. Only then did I understand her instructions and smiled. Then, this can also be said to be a merit achieved thanks to me. . There is no need to use up soldiers unnecessarily. okay. just do something like that Now I think I know a little bit about your thinking. The iron-blooded lord spoke as if he was tired of it, and then moved on. Although more than half of the Great Forest had been destroyed before I knew it, there were parts that were intact. As soon as I walked to the ce where the Dark Elves were supposed to be, I heard a sound. Right away Wealth fire! Bring the elders! And call the water spirit in theke! This is unbelievable! More than half of the Great Forest has been destroyed? How can this! alternative alternative! Why did the great forest be like this! Dark elves screaming in chaos appeared. Dark elves with slightly tanned brown skin are venting their anger. They couldnt even understand why the Great Forest was destroyed all at once. There is no such thing as a mess. It was worth it. You wouldnt have known that just one person could destroy the Great Forest in half. A sudden human being could destroy the great forest in a matter of minutes? It was impossible to guess bymon sense. But maybe, sooner orter, if you have an informant, you will be able to figure out the situation. The cause of all these situations is me, and it was I who destroyed the Great Forest. So It would be right to organize things before they be a nuisance. It was the right thing to finish the preemption before the situation got twisted like that. So, so, so, so! The authority Winter King is automatically activated when the conditions are met. All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. In an instant, the holy power is reced with cold and the burning forest is destroyed. made for winter It is also covered in ice. And at the same time, the eyes of the busy Dark Elves were focused on this side. Not even that. Why is the ice? Could it be that the human over there? A man who was not only ugly, but even disgusting, came here with a dirty body! Could it be that humans did the ck starlight! As expected, all contaminants such as humans must be exterminated Confusion, disbelief, alert, anger, etc. The Dark Elves currently present here are all showing hostility. And thats an even deeper level of hostility. But that didntst long either. Because Kwaaang-! All quiet. Soon, the moment when he hit the ground with all his magic power. Because the overflowing magical power made the Dark Elves shut their mouths. Only then did I talk to the Dark Elves with a deep smile. Ill give you 10 minutes. Its nothing else Guide me to where the ck Dragon is within 10 minutes. Finally, a moderate negotiation was attempted. Then I will step back without using any more force from this position. That too-. Isnt it simple? It is an infinitely peaceful negotiation. *** Negotiations with physical force were certainly excellent. This is Is it not for nothing that they say that the best means of negotiation is power? The Dark Elves, who had been showing feelings of hatred before they knew it, changed to a calmer person. It was as if a small beast was frightened when it saw a beast bigger than itself. In reality, the situation was not much different from that. Who are you? Who are you to persecute us so bloodyoh. An old man who seemed to be the eldest among the Dark Elves said that while stuttering. I was so nervous that I couldnt stop stuttering. And when I saw that, I said with a cold smile. Its fun. It was worth it. Until a while ago, humans were said to be pollutants. I guess Im getting my anger under control now. That that that Why? Its all for a reason Isnt it? Hatred that can be controlled by those with power? Seeing the selective anger made me smile. Iughed for a moment like that, then increased the amount of mana released. very quickly too. Deed-! Unable to handle the rapidly increasing magic power, the earth roared. You still think no? And Ok! Thats right! Thats right, so please withdraw your strength! Seeing the Dark Elves finally admitting to controlling their anger, I regained some of my magic. Heogheog heog Only then did the old Dark Elf gasp and regain his breath. Looking at him showing such a tired look, I quietly brightened my eyes. And Nine minutes. yes? Now we have nine minutes. help me. I have no intention of killing you. I cant tell you where the ck dragon is. He is the guardian of the Dark Elf n, so he cannot be betrayed Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! Eight minutes. No Seven minutes. no! Not even seconds have passed! Time cant go by that much! Six minutes. no. 4 minutes for shame. There really isnt much left now. Hey hey hey! Stop that nonsense gun bombing! If you do, you wont get what you want! Thats it, youll know once you try it. There has never been anything that couldnt be solved by force. It wouldnt be much different if it were a race that was dotted with such selective hatred. Perhaps with a little more force, you can easily get the information out. Im just giving you a chance to blow the information out yourself because its annoying to waste time. Choose. And Will you let me know after you get hit? Just tell me now? The moment he said that in a threatening tone, clenching his fists. [ stop. ] Suddenly, a divine voice echoed through the sky. [How far are you trying to persecute my servants? ] Its nothing else [You insignificant human being. ] Suddenly, a ck dragon appeared in the sky. [Did you think that a small creature like you could dare to persecute my servants? ] And. [You will pay the penalty for trying to harm my servants today. ] Chaaaaaaaaang-! Soon, the power of divinity resonates from the ck dragon. shit. Sungyoon Han. Didnt things turn out to be bigger than I thought? The iron-blooded lord opened his eyes wide, gritted his teeth, and raised his hand to the sword wave. Thats why I told you to leave the negotiations to us. dear I will block this ce, so you can request support But there was no need for that. no. I can solve this. So you dont have to pull out the sword. Anyway, this is a category within the assumption. Divine < Empowerment > is used. Sacred power can be consumed to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a great deal of divine power is consumed when interfering with thews of the world. Sit. And get down. And [ Unpleasant. Who do you know as a dog? Theres no need to follow those words!? ] next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! [Kuaaaaaaaaaaaagh!?] Just like that, the ck dragons body bent like a dog and fell. Chapter 281 281. Destroyer (4) Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! In the blink of an eye, the ck dragons body was mmed to the ground. even stronger. As it was, the ground of the Great Forest was crushed by the dragons huge body, and a shallow earthquake urred. But before I had time to pay attention to him, a loud scream rang out. [Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ] Its nothing else [ What the hell did you do to me!! Why cant my body move!? ] Suddenly, the ck dragon was unable to move and was howling. And when I saw that, I smiled. It was worth it. Since he has divine power, I thought he would be at least a native deity. Could the dragons power not even reach the level of a native deity? I never thought the dragon that was said to protect the world would be so weak. Up until now, thinking about the battle with the dragon, it was funny to think that it was worth fighting against. In reality, it was enough to use the divine authority like this once. But it was only for a moment that Iughed because I was so dumbfounded. After suddenly using the divine < Eonryung >, a sharp pain rushed into my heart. thud-. Could it be that the heart couldnt withstand the use of divinity because of all the stat downgrade penalties? The divinities shook greatly once, and their hearts were seriously damaged. I had no choice but to vomit blood from my mouth. Ugh Chow-. Blood poured from his mouth and he tried to faint for a moment. But the pain didntst long. Thats also the case The power skill, Ashen Blood is activated. Regenerative power increases ording to the amount of holy power consumed. Body regenerative power increases by 400% and bes immune to all non-regenerative abilities. Even if the damage is umted in the heart anyway, it can be recovered as much as it wants. Even the blood that was lost due to bleeding could be restored with the Blood Demon Sacred Art. In fact, even if the recoiles with the divine power, it does not take much damage due to moderate damage. At the very least, its going to be a disadvantage in the battle with the Goddess. If the heart explodes, it will interfere with the battle. Perhaps it wouldnt be such a problem unless it was a full-scale battle with a godhead. It didnt matter if it wasnt to the level of pouring strength against the evil spirits that were trying to invade the world. And at that time, if you use apotheosis to raise all ranks on this side, you wont have to think about the recoil. In short, it wasnt such a serious restriction. But at this level, I can endure it as long as the godhead isnt my opponent. Soon after recovering with gray blood, the iron-blooded lord opened his eyes wide in surprise. That you. Are you okay? Why are you suddenly bleeding! Now wait a minute! And as if he didnt know what to do, he stomped his feet. Even the eyes are shaking greatly. He even took what was assumed to be a recovery potion out of his arms in a hurry. It was unexpected. It is a recovery potion. dear Now wait a minute and Ill call the surgeon outside But Its okay. Anyway, I am a body that has already been recovered for a long time. Your recovery has already beenpleted, so you dont have to worry. Kindness is kindness and usefulness is usefulness. There was no need to use recovery potions anymore. The moment he wiped the blood from his mouth as if nothing had happened. The iron-blooded lord blinked several times in embarrassment. Have you already recovered? And Huh. Its hard to understand, but its understandable. Is it a recovery system ability? Only then did the iron-blooded lord realize that the situation was not so dangerous and slightly dyed his cheeks red. Then did I worry unnecessarily? Maybe Im fine, but its a shame to think that I made a fuss by myself. Therefore, it is impossible to answer yes as it is right now, isnt it? I answered her question as if I was wrapping my words as much as possible. no. Still, thanks to your concern, I feel stronger. thank you. Is it because I said it so as not to hurt the other persons feelings? If so, its fortunate The Iron Blood Lord seemed to be satisfied with this in his own way. Even the corner of his mouth went up slightly, so he seemed to be in a good mood. And seeing that, I couldnt help but smile as well. Its an unexpected benefit. It was worth it. After the ordeal is over, at least I wont be hit with a reward. Feelings of trust were leaking out from the iron-blooded lord before he knew it. Emotions such as trust and solidarity lead to increased rewards for this special contract ordeal. So I couldnt help but smile. It was then. [The damn kitties! dare! How dare you stage a skit with this body! Do you really want to die!! ] Hard-. Suddenly, the ck dragon screamed as if having a seizure and twisted its body. And the restrictions on the actions forced by the divine < Sword Command > were slightly rxed. That wasnt too surprising. Now youre thinking of releasing that In fact, its normal to be like that when youre at a level where you can put divinity into your voice. So, instead of feeling confused, I immediately put more effort into the divine < Spirit >. very strong too. Divine < Empowerment > is used. You can use your divine power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of divine power is consumed when you use yourmandments to interfere with thews of the world. Stop. And. [ Big!! ] Quadd-. Soon, the moment when the divinity < Eonryung > wraps around the ck dragons body again. The ck dragon groaned in pain andined of pain. And the Dark Elves watching it spat out in astonishment. This is such nonsense! Why is ck Dragon-sama so easily defeated! Ah ah ah ah ah! Hey dragon! Why cant you wake up! Is that a lie? huh? Please tell me thats a lie! This cant be real! Perhaps, to the Dark Elves, the ck Dragon seems to be an absolute being . So there was no way the ck dragon could resist any longer. But did that thought lead to anger? [Do you think you will stay still even after going through this humiliation!! ] Suddenly, the ck dragon shed its reptilian eyes and vomited anger. [Even if it means giving my all, I will kill you here!! ] But I couldnt help but be squeamish. doesnt care. What can you do with a subject that doesnt even reach the level of a native deity? You can do whatever you want. At that, I smiled and allowed the ck dragon to struggle. [Khehehe! You will regret saying that! What a human being! ] By the way [Dragon god! ] Suddenly, a strange name came out of the ck dragons mouth. [The existence that originated from you is begging!! ] Dragon god. He summoned the god who created Starlight, a skill he had been using sparingly until now. Only then did I understand why the ck dragon had a divinity in a subject that was not even a native deity. I guess I was treated as an apostle because I was a creature of the Dragon God. It has divinity because it is an existence that originated from one of the ancient deities, the Dragon God. And it turns out right away that the guess is actually correct. Its nothing else [Please give me the strength to defeat the enemy and protect the world!! ] The moment the ck dragon shouted with such anger. Observation of the Dragon Gods trial bes possible due to the call of the 4th-ss apostle, Tirmion Agnes. Suddenly, a huge presence cast a shadow over it, and a chilling sensation arose. The dragon god epts the request of the 4th ss apostle, Tarmion Agnes The dragon god appeared to grant the ck dragons request. But that was only for a moment. The system message of epting the apostles request did not continue until the end. And The dragon god feels confused seeing an unexpected existence. I couldnt help but smile as the system message came to mind. As people often say thatworking is also skill Maybe this is also part of skill? The Dragon God smiles quietly while looking at the challenger Han Seong-yoon. For some reason, he is the Dragon God who was obsessed with me, iming to be the sessor. There was no way that a godhead with goodwill would give power to an apostle who was trying to harm me. Even if its an apostle reproduced by the tower, its even more so. The deity could not be reproduced by the tower, but the apostle could be reproduced. Therefore, there was no way that the dragon god would listen to the request of the ck dragon, which was just a fake. And in fact, it was confirmed that the guess was correct through the system message that followed. The Dragon God refuses the request of the 4th-ss apostle Tarmion Agnes The Dragon God asks the 4th-ss apostle Tarmion Agnes to take good care of Han Seong-yoon. The Dragon God is the 4th-ss apostle Tarmion I tell Agnes to stop calling me like this. [What is this! You dragon god!? Why are you so protective of humans! ] The ck dragon shuddered and then screamed in disbelief. The dragon god asked me with cold eyes if he didnt follow his will. However, the rtionship between the godhead and the apostle is a vertical structure. [ Rotten! Why would such a human! You are receiving Gods grace! ] The ck dragon gnashed his teeth and swallowed his anger. And gradually the ck dragons hostility subsided inside. Perhaps he thought that he could not defy Gods will. I smiled as I watched things go well beyond my expectations. The dragon god smiles brightly at the challenger Han Seong-yoon and says its been a while! And Dragon god. Long time no see. When he showed off his rtionship with the dragon god, the pupils of the ck dragon shook greatly. [ uh? ] As if he hadnt thought in the slightest that it would turn out like this. It was worth it. Because I didnt know that my rtionship with the Dragon God would work like this. However, he had no intention of hiding the power of his personal connections. The dragon god said that his observations would end soon and asked to see youter, waving his hand! Sorry. dragon god Well see youter. And finally, when the Dragon Gods status disappeared, the ck Dragon trembled. [You said you were acquainted with Yongshinnim from the beginning? ] He seems to know that he has a closer rtionship with the Dragon God than he had expected. However, there was a mindset to use it as much as it was mistaken. [That there Excuse me] And [Who are you? ] Looking at the ck dragons polite tone, I replied as if I was satisfied. Who is who? Intuitively. He will be your master from today. The process of persuading the dragons more than I thought would elerate. Yongyong. very quickly too. Chapter 282 282. Destroyer (5) The ck dragon quietly rolled its eyes while crouching. [ the main owner? what else do you mean by that? ] As if he didnt understand the situation at all. It was worth it. It wasnt strange that he felt so confused when he suddenly saw his intimate(?) rtionship with the dragon god. It would be even more so if the Dragon God favored a mere human. So I nodded benignly and spoke again. Now I will be your master. [ . ] Did you understand? [No, I understand, but I cant quite understand that they have someone as their owner] Is it really that I cant understand? Kwaaaak-. Suddenly, my hand curled up on its own and began to gather strength into my grip. Even though the level of all abilities was reduced by the penalty of the special contract ordeal, the physical strength that easily exceeded a few hundred was overwhelming by itself. Perhaps petting a ck dragon with this hand would make it scream of joy? The ck dragon must have felt that too, as I approached it, it trembled and shook its head. [I convinced myself! I got it! Lord lord! I got it oh oh oh! ] Only then did I smile once and lower my fist. Thats it. Still, when I told him about my intimacy with the dragon god, the resistance decreased. Perhaps he thinks there is nowhere else to back down? It was only natural that he would do so, since his attempt to raise his rank as an apostle by dedicating everything to the Dragon God failed. So, it must be meekly submitting to me like this. With this, I cant help but feel satisfied because Ive now secured one of the seven dragons. But Why, why! ck Dragon! How can you suit such an insignificant creature! The guardian deity of the Dark Elf n was subdued so absurdly? Is that also for humans? A nasty, filthy human bastard! What witchcraft did you use to contaminate the ck Dragon! Could it be that he didnt know that the dragon that protects his n would be taken away like this? Unlike the satisfaction I feel, the Dark Elves feel displeasure and confusion. But even so, there was no way the ck dragon would return to them. That would be too [Stop it. This is not subservience. ording to Gods will that inevitable supplement. ] The ck dragon even received an oracle from the dragon god to take good care of me. So he could no longer protect the Dark Elves. And as soon as the ck dragon revealed its will, the dark elves lost their strength and sat down. As if he didnt have the strength to stand like this any longer. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha of a nonsense of the n of elders Without Dragon-sama, we will have to submit to external pressure again! In fact, the ck dragon also frowned and blurted out, as if his words were not wrong. [Thats] But that was only for a moment. gibberish. The moment the iron-blooded lord, who had been watching the situation quietly from the side, opened his mouth. You guys were just trying to enjoy your rights without responsibility here. All the Dark Elves who heard her words widened their eyes in anger. That too, by borrowing the power of the absolute existence of a dragon. But she didnt stop and went on with what she had to say. Isnt it? you! Humans persecuted you once, but the Dark Elves were no different. Didnt you also hate and persecute humans? Isnt that because humans are foolish subordinates who always cause a nuisance to nature!! The old Dark Elf spoke with uncontroble hatred. You have always been a nuisance to nature! And he didnt even try to be ruled by the dark elves, a higher race, despite being an inferior race! That is the problem! It was interesting. Is it true that humans can do that while hating other races and refusing to be dominated? I know the dark elves side is selfish. Even though they knew that the world was being invaded by evil spirits, they refused to cooperate. But I didnt know that I would harbor such contradictory hatred. At this point, it can be said that almost the race itself has mental illness. So It cant be helped. It seemed that the treatment of ssical psychosis should be rmended to them. Kiyiyiing! The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. ck starlight!? He probably knows about this because he has already been swept away by the Holy Light once Even if he knows, theres no big problem. It didnt matter. dont worry. It was worth it. Because from today all dark elves will be nice. Whether you know it or not, mental illness will be cured anyway. It was the same with the demons and demons he had dealt with so far. Its nothing else The demons who were evil from the beginning became kind right away when they did this. What is that The moment the Dark Elves spit out their confused voices. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The Great Forest was destroyed and disappeared without a trace. *** Hard-. After the ck starlight swallowed the great forest, the earths trembling soon stopped. Its tidy. no. Can we call this the great grove now? The great forest destroyed by the star light no longer had the structure of a forest. This is immediately evident when we look at thend or vegetation that has been deprived of vitality by the divine < death >. Its no longer a ce where life can live. This is no longer a ce where something can live. To the extent that the spark of life is lost just by being here due to divine < death >. In fact, numerous Dark Elves were vomiting blood with the remaining power of the divine < Death >. Ouch! Knock off! What the hell is this! My heart my heart feels like its about to burst kek. Ah ah ah ah ah . Am I just not able to stand this? The Divine < Death > is the same power as the natural enemy of all living things But even so, it was difficult to be put on the defensive with only the traces of the Divine < Death >. In short, it meant that these Dark Elves were more like untrained normal people. Most of the Dark Elves were like that too. What have you done so far that the entire race is so weak? Looking at the dark elves who copsed and coughed up blood, I said with contempt. Its worse than I thought for relying on dragon power and calling humans inferior. Originally, it was the timing when the Dark Elves who heard this should have reacted in a fit of rage. However, unlike before, the refutation did not return. Even the Dark Elves who were not harmed by the divine < Death > were trembling. It looks like an aspen tree. In fact Hehehe a monster Before I knew it, even the old Dark Elf was sitting on the ground and trembling in fear. After watching them for a while, the ck dragon salivated. Its nothing else [Its absurdly weak] Now even the ck Dragon, who pretended to be the guardian of the n, was dumbfounded. [Its not like a sword master, but if you know how to use sword skills, you wont suffer any damage. Are you saying that there are only a few people who have polished the state to that extent? ] And the ck dragon shook his head and said as if sighing. [Perhaps it would have been right to leave you even if it hadnt turned out this way. ] The ck Dragon looked down at the Dark Elves as if he was pitiful and continued. [Even if evil spirits invade the world, I tried to protect you. But, as it turns out, it doesnt seem worth it anymore. ] And [Goodbye. ] After saying that, the ck dragon looked away from the dark elves. But no one caught the ck dragon. This is because what he said is a fact itself, in which there is nothing wrong with it. Being confused by the divine < death > is the true nature of the Dark Elves, so there is no way to respond. destroyer! But even so, they did not attribute this to their own responsibility until the end. You you! The old Dark Elf cried out in a fit of breath, gripping the pile of dirt with his hands. I will pay the price for destroying the order of nature! It wille to a most disastrous end! The old Dark Elf shed bloody tears and smiled miserably. Tear to shreds by the evil spirits and lose miserably! But even that I just ept with gratitude. Think whatever you like. It was worth it. Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, the challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of the < Nemesis >. Those who do not have a will cannot resist your divine power. From now on, the effect of < Chaos > will be added to Challenger Seongyoon Hans divine operation. When < Chaos > is activated The enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. Its nothing else < Chaos > is active, so the enemys negative emotions are converted into faith. Extract it. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. After all, if the Dark Elves hate me, the more they hate me, the more faith will umte in their hearts. and then. This is The moment he confirmed the amount of faith umted in his heart. Suddenly, I couldnt help but roll my eyes. It was worth it. Its amazing. Because I gained enough faith to create a myth. Did a group really suffer from mental illness? The actual gain wont be that great because the quality of faith isnt that great. But to be able to gain so much Faith was certainly amazing. Perhaps in this way, if you supply and receive faith a few times, you can get a proper myth? Although it was still only an idea, there was a possibility that it could be done. In fact The amount of beliefs and stories to be the base is insufficient. The harvested faith is stored for the next myth. When you get a story suitable for your faith, a new myth is created. Suddenly system message announced that you can obtain a myth by collecting more faith and tales. Maybe Ill be able to get enough new Shinhwa this time. Arent there still six more dragons left? The moment when all seven dragons crouched in different parts of the world were gathered. I look forward to it. At that time, what kind of myth will I get by consuming the umted faith? Chapter 283 283. Hope (1) Acquisition of a new myth did not seem so far away. Perhaps with a certain amount of faith and a certain amount of narrative, Ill get enough myths. sure Maybe Ill get a myth in the middle of this special contract ordeal. It was because the amount of faith absorbed by < Chaos >, one of the effects of Shinhwas < Enemy of Everything >, was greater than expected. Even if the collection of beliefs and tales is a bitcking, theres a way to get both quickly anyway. Even if you dont know the story, you have already acquired a lot of faith. This time, it was the same even if it wasnt the faith that was extracted through mythology. To put it bluntly, right now I am being followed by numerous believers from different dimensions. Therefore, faith had no choice but to umte rapidly in the heart. That too in real time. At least in terms of faith, supply and demand are smooth thanks to active activities in many worlds. A world of dystopia ruled by usurpers A world corrupted by an apostle serving an ancient deity A world of Earth nearly invaded by a god of battle, etc I can feel it. I can feel the believers in different dimensions sending their faith now. Is it even because of the fact that it has greatly revealed its direct influence on its followers? As time passed, the level of faith that umted in his heart was also rising. That is to the extent that it can bepared to the faith extracted from the myth < The Natural Enemy of All >. Faith is certainly enough to supply and receive even during trials. However, Seolhwa did not feel a little uneasy. Its nothing else In a nutshell, the story is that the achievements I made myself be my strength. If something is not done directly, the umtion of tales does not take ce. But I still thought it would be okay. Snowkes Im sure I can get them to some extent through trials anyway. By suppressing the ck dragon at once with force, a certain amount of tales must have been umted. If so, wouldnt it be possible to obtain a simr narrative against the remaining dragons? Even the opponents who can build legends are not limited to dragons. Because Maybe I can fill the story until I defeat the evil spirit. After all, the final boss of this special contract ordeal is decided to be an evil god. Thats why Im going to pack a lot of stories against the servants who serve evil spirits. So, after organizing my thoughts, I took the ck dragon and left the great forest. Well, it cant be called a forest anymore because it exploded with a holy light imbued with the divine < Death >. Achievement Destroyer has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement has increased from [Grade C+] to [Grade B+] The skill Symbol of Destruction (B+) is created. However, there were things I got thanks to thoroughly destroying the Great Forest. Skill C Symbol of Destruction (B+) Proficiency C 0% Basic Effect C All types of powers with destructive power learn Special Destructive Correction Detailed Effects C Consuming a certain amount of mana to create a divine It is possible to learn Destruction Correction.] And Thats amazing The moment I confirmed the effect of the skill Symbol of Destruction (B+) obtained as an achievement reward. Before I knew it, I couldnt help but feel the joy of my newly acquired power with twinkling eyes. It was worth it. At least this skill was worth feeling so satisfied with. This is worth always activating during battle. A skill that overwritespensation for all types of destruction? In fact, it was the same as meaning that most of the abilities that could be used in battle would be stronger. Even by consuming mana, he was able to obtain something called sacred destruction correction. In a battle with a god or an apostle, it had to be activated unconditionally without thinking. Ive acquired skills that can be used in earnest in battle. And as I was smiling like that, I heard a voice in my ear. Han Seong-yoon Its nothing else Suddenly, the iron-blooded lord crossed his arms and said so with his eyes narrowed. How could you convince the ck dragon so easily? And when I heard that, I felt that something hade. As I guessed, it turned out like this It was justified. He immediately dominated the ck Dragon, known as the Apostle of Divinity, without taking much damage. Even bypletely breaking the opponents will. So, the iron-blooded lords question could be said to be within the assumptions. Its just amazing that you didnt ask until now and wait until the situation is over. My dear. The iron-blooded lord called me again as if to demand an answer. But its a question thats hard to answer nheless. Looking straight into her questioning eyes, I smiled bitterly. Is this a question that must be answered? It means that you will inevitably avoid it. I am not forcing you to answer. However, the iron-blooded lord shook his head as if he would stop that. But if you dont answer this, you wont get what you want. And I knew right away what it was. It means I cant earn your trust. Yes. After being silent at the sound of not being able to gain the trust of the iron-blooded lord, she continued. Even if you dont answer, Ill be able to give you trust as a millenniummander. And But at least you wont gain the trust of the individual canary Lugfeld. As soon as I heard the iron-blooded lords words, I had to burst intoughter. It seems inevitable that I will have to answer to some extent It was justified. Even if you cheat her anyway, if you dont gain her trust, the reward for the special contract ordeal will go down. If what you wanted from her wasnt a candy-coated lie, you had to earn her trust. If so, it is as if the answer has been decided what to do. Gathering my thoughts, I looked at her and said. Then I will answer as much as I can tell you. The iron-blooded lord rxed his expression slightly as if he was slightly relieved, and nodded. Still, isnt that a rejection at all? So I wont care too much. It was as if he was relieved that the situation didnt turn out to be the worst he had thought. I have many questions to ask, but for now Ill ask you two big questions. I see. First of all, can you tell me about your true identity? Thats It can be done simply, so tell me the truth. Im not satisfied with revealing my ce of origin. If so, it didnt matter. I am only a challenger from the Tower. A tower? Thats right. Which magic tower are you from? no. It doesnt look that way. You are Is it still before the Tower of Trials appears in this world? As for the tower and the challenger, the iron-blooded lord was at a loss. Not even one really. Looking at the iron-blooded lords confused face, I spoke again. Its not a lie. I am not from any magic tower. But the challenger from the tower is certain. isnt it really a lie? ha. Your identity bes even more mysterious. Im sure youll understand to some extent. Then, now the next question. and. Han Seong-yoon. next moment. I will make sure to ask additional questions about your identity. The iron-blooded lord continued with his eyes sparkling. As if he had caught evidence that he couldnt take out or beat. Even the power of the godhead was letting her know that her emotions were full of confidence. no way! I really figured out my identity with this Are you an apostle serving a god rted to dragons? uh. Whoop whoop whoop. okay. Seeing that hardened face makes me feel certain. The iron-blooded lord smiled confidently with his arms crossed. You can immediately tell where the power to tame the ck dragon came from. Uncharacteristically for her, even the corners of her mouth twitched. Everything is a curiosity that can be solved if you are an apostle serving a god rted to dragons. Actually Now. how is it Sungyoon Han. Didnt I guess about you very urately? Whoop whoop. She was half convinced that this was the correct answer. In fact, I wanted to tell him, Thats right, even if it was pitiful to see such a confident expression on his face. But I couldnt. Because Maybe theres no such thing as an urate guess. There is no such thing as a correct guess. Whoops. Still, he hid his identity well. Sungyoon Han. So now its okay to tell the truth So, I immediately replied while looking at the Sangvis lords face. no. even- Your guesses, from start to finish, werepletely wrong. And that too in a very firm tone. *** As soon as the iron-blooded lord heard the answer, he denied it as if he was shocked. lie! I guess I didnt know that none of the things Ive deduced were right Didnt get hit at all? Are you kidding? Nothing changed though. Im not kidding, Im not lying. The moment when he informed the iron-blooded lord once again that he hadnt really guessed the truth. Before he knew it, the iron-blooded lord lowered his head with his face slightly red. She groaned and pressed her temples as if her head hurt. Ugh. Hopefully this isnt the case Where are you from? Uh No. It cant be. I made a mistake. Sungyoon Han. This is the end of my question to you. No. Its true that I came from another world. Im finally getting it right. So far, I havent been able to get anything right, and its only at the end that I get it right But I didnt mean to point out that point, so I kept my mouth shut. The iron-blooded lord grew sullen and soon fell limp and fell into despair. And the ck dragon, who quietly watched the scene, carefully asked a question. [Geez Owner Come to think of it, I have something I want to ask] ? [ I want to know why you came here and why you are taking me. ] Ah. Then I realized that I almost forgot. He was able to dy the end of the world by persuading and epting the seven dragons that protect the world. Only then did I recall the original purpose, and I immediately looked at the ck dragon and exined the story roughly. But contrary to what I thought, the exnation didnt take that long. That would be the case [ Ah. understand. Evil spirits are trying to invade the world. Thats why I came to receive the qualification to protect the world. ] It was because the ck dragon noticed the situation right away even after hearing the brief exnation. I bet you knew about this situation. [Yes. The seven dragons in this world are beings with the qualifications of guardians. We already know that evil spirits are trying to invade. ] Then why were you doing this here without protecting the world? [Thats because thew of causality has not been established enough to protect the world. ] Ah. [It is also in line that dragons do not readily give up their qualifications as guardians. ] Are you saying you cant qualify unless youe up with something that satisfies the causality rate [Yes. As you know, dragons are the apostles serving the Dragon God. Thats why youre half stepping into the realm of the Godhead. Constraints on causality cannot be avoided. ] Then you must have known about the tower as well. [ Thats right. ] Before I knew it, the ck dragon said as if it was copsed. [Maybe theres a possibility that all of this is fake] Have you guessed to some extent while listening to the conversation with the Iron Blood Lord? The ck dragon seemed to have already guessed to some extent that this was a world amid trials. I wasnt sure yet, but at least it was clear that I was suspicious. And at that, I smiled bitterly and shook my head. no. Its not fake. So no need to worry. This ce was a fake world reproduced by the tower. However, it could be said that this was a white lie. It was worth it. The ck dragon would be greatly shocked if he realized that he was a recreated being. Even if it was a lie, it would be right to give the ck dragon relief instead of shocking it. Itll disappear anyway after the ordeal, so theres no need to tell the truth. and. [ If thats the case, Im d. Well, its a ce where evil spirits exist. All of this cant be fake. ] As if the lie worked well, the ck dragon regained its calm. [Then I must do what I have to do. You are an outside challenger. Now that a certain degree of causality has been satisfied, I will give you the qualifications to protect the world. ] The moment the ck dragon nodded and extended its ck w. [This is the proof that you have been recognized as a guardian of the world. ] Whoops! In the blink of an eye, energy like pure white crystals flowed into me. Achievement Qualification to Protect the World has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. Reward levels obtained from achievements increase. All stats increase. It rises by 10. And. As soon as the . system message announced the achievement, I knew what it was. Is this the qualification to protect the world? It was worth it. The pure white crystal given to you by the ck dragon is a kind of divinity. Maybe if I collect all of these, I can acquire a new kind of divinity? It looks the same as the divinity < Earth >, which was said to be obtained by gathering a certain amount of faith on Earth. However, I soon realized that it was impossible to acquire a new divinity. Because The vessel is empty It is because there is no substance in the pure white crystal-like divinity. To put it in a nutshell, it was this. There was little left in the pure white crystal that could act as a divinity. That too is very neat. Only a faint authority remains, and the power of the concept inherent in divinity is close to extinction. Perhaps this will no longer function as a divine power. A different form from divinities such as divine < death > or divine < words >. Most of the actual divinity-specific functions have disappeared. Perhaps there is no such thing as a separate effect attached to divinity. Even if I retrieve all the remaining qualifications from the dragons, I wont be able to demonstrate my value as a divinity. It is only possible to raise a barrier that can protect the world with the faint authority left in the divinity. And I could immediately figure out why it was like this. Its nothing else Is it because its a world reproduced by the tower? He realized that it was because it was a fake world where the divinity of the world could not be obtained. Perhaps, if this were real, the one who persuaded all the dragons would have stepped into the realm of a god. However, because he failed to do so, the iron-blooded lord had no choice but to be summoned to the tower without protecting anything. But it will be different here. Ill have to protect this ce at least. For the iron-blooded monarch, a longing is an opportunity to fulfill an unfulfilled wish. So at least I knew what her wish was and had the intention of fulfilling it. I dont know anything yet, except that she regrets not being able to prevent the end of the world. Still, there was plenty of time. I should slowly learn about the wishes of the iron-blooded lord. After thinking like that, I looked at the ck dragon and asked a question. Do any of the other dragons know where they are? [ uhh. To some extent, yes. Dragons know where each other is. They are the apostles of the same Dragon God. ] Can apostles know such things? [And if you want, you can also know some information. As for what kind of situation it is. ] Thats nice. Until now, I had heard from the iron blooded lord while moving to the ck dragons location. Currently, there are some dragons all over the world whose whereabouts are unknown. Even if they found the dragon, they were hoping for reinforcements because of negotiations or a war of nerves. If so, this is a cheat key that can save you a lot of time. If I use it to find and persuade other dragons with a ck dragon, I think itll be pretty good. You dont have to waste time unnecessarily. Find out where the other dragons are now and tell them. By the way [There is a ce where three of the dragons are gathered together. ] Suddenly, an unexpected situation urred. Three dragons gathered? [Yeah I think were in the middle of a battle right now. Ive been asked to join the fight as well. ] Even because of the battle? [ Thats right. ] Its nothing else [The situation is more serious than I thought. ] An incident urred to the extent that the three apostles who served the ancient deity had to unite and fight. [Perhaps an evil spirit descended on the body of the apostle he raised.] Advent. under. The evil god who proceeded with the invasion of the world thats interesting. One of the apostles here was given power. Chapter 284 284. Hope (2) Ive seen gods descend through apostles a few times. The gods of battle and the giant trees I saw in the Labyrinth used Advent The fact that the gods dwelled by exerting power on the body of a follower was certainly strong despite some restrictions. And thats to the point that its close to impossible for those who dont have divinity to deal with. Thats why, when I heard the news that the evil spirit descended on the apostle, I squinted my eyes. It was because I realized that the situation was more serious than I thought. Its nothing else Maybe its a situation where all the other dragons will die. Dragons fighting against the evil spirits in the Advent of the Apostles may be annihted. It was worth it. I once witnessed, albeit briefly, the incarnation of an evil god in the < Proof Field > heard in themon area on the 21st floor. Although he consumed one of the holy relics he possessed and banished the incarnation to the outside Still, through the incarnation, he was able to estimate the level of the evil god. Thats very certain. At least hes more powerful than the god of battle. evil god. A deity presiding over all evil concepts. If we were to leave out the skill in actualbat, the evil god was several times higher than the god of battle. Of course, this division is based on the god of battle who wrote the divine < fighting spirit >. So, there was no choice but to create tension. So if I used Advent, it would be difficult to deal with dragons. It would be the same even if they were the official 4th-ss apostles of the Dragon God, an ancient deity. At least the evil god was able to exert that much power. To put it bluntly, if you build up a rank several times, you can see the state of an ancient deity. It is probably an existence that has built up its rank through countless periods of time. Thats why even if its the Advent of the Apostles, theres no way theyll be able topete. I kept my mouth shut for a moment and continued my thoughts while touching my chin. If so, why does the evil god use the advent of the apostles to harm the dragon? But after thinking about it for a moment, he smiled. That would be too No. There is nothing to think about. The answer has already been decided. It is because the purpose of the evil spirit is clearly visible. They are trying to destroy the protection of the world by killing dragons in various ces. If the dragons die, the end of this world will elerate further and the evil god itself may appear. Then its decided what to do. The moment when Ipletely organized my thoughts about the Advent of the Apostles. Before I knew it, I realized that the ck dragon was watching me nervously, and opened my mouth. I didnt have much to say anyway. Because Lets go to the ce where the apostle descended. Its about what to do, because the conclusion has been reached. [ then I understand. ] And the ck dragon nodded and said. [I will guide you to where the dragons are. If so, ride with me. Youll be able to move faster than walking. ] But I shook my head at the ck dragons words. no. It was worth it. There is still work to be done here. Its because of the remaining work rted to the iron-blooded lord. Currently, she holds the rank of Thousand Commander in the Imperial Army. So, you should inform the empire that you have acquired the qualifications to protect the world from the ck dragon. At least it wasnt toote to listen to the answer and move on. In fact I sent the news of the sess of the mission to the Empire via telmunication. Shortly after, the iron blooded lord broke the news. And about you too. But anyway, you are my aide. So you dont have to worry too much. I think he told the Empire about me. It wouldnt change much if I told you anyway, so I just said Id know roughly. And the iron-blooded lord continued in a low voice as if he was slightly tired. And you, who are qualified to protect the world, will have to go and persuade another dragon. Its nothing else Currently, one of the imperial troops is at the ce where the dragons are gathered, so you should go there with me. An unexpected coincidence of purpose urred. Its so unfortunate. ? Either way, I was going to make the same offer. What is that Then I smiled at the iron-blooded lord who tilted his head. Lets go together to the battlefield where dragons are gathering. has definitely been determined. The ce where the Advent of the Apostles took ce. To go to the ce where dragons from all over the world gather. And thinking that I would enter that bloody hell, my eyes naturally twinkled. Now there will be some really fun things waiting for you. It was worth it. It will be very different from the boring battles youve tasted so far. Its different from now, when the gains were made without damage with overwhelming power as much as possible. Really Because Now things are going to be fun. The battlefield you will see from now on is where real livese and go. *** Unexpectedly, it didnt take much time to move to the battlefield. It has been designated as a target for the advanced magic < Space Leap >. It is nothing else Leaps through space to the designated coordinates by using the advanced magic < Space Leap >. It was transferred to another ce. [ Im here. ] That too in the blink of an eye. And before I knew it, I had no choice but to frown when I arrived at the snowfield. There is no romance It was justified. Isnt this supposed toe on the dragons back? Its a little bit, but I expected to fly high in the sky while riding on the dragons back . I sighed because I felt like one of my dreams about dragons was broken. But could the ck dragon not understand this romance? [You want to ride the dragons back? Why are you doing such inefficient work? ] The ck dragon tilted its head as if it couldnt agree with the statement that there was no romance. I guess so. Sungyoon Han. Certainly, it would have taken longer than this if I hade riding a dragon. Even the iron-blooded lord said that as if he didnt understand. I cant understand the romance of taking a dragon with me. I was a little shocked by that, but I thought it might be. No, in fact, its hard to even think that thats possible, but I decided to forcefully convince myself. [ no. Isnt it? Why do you have magic and ride a dragon like a beast ] But [ Do you have a taste for inefficient work? ] Still, anger about the broken romance of dragons remained. Yongyong, be quiet. Kwaaaak-. His fists were clenched in an instant, and the ck dragon suddenly changed his words startled. [ Come to think of it, it seems like you suddenly want to ride a human on your back. ] Isnt it? [ yes yes. ] Thats it. Yong-ah. Lets do better next time. [ yes. By the way, my name is not Yongyong, but I have a proper name, Tarmion Agnes. ] Could it be that he intends to betray his master? [ no. I will change my name. yes. I have to name it. Just feel free to call me. so. hey I would like you to lower your fist. ] is it an illusion? I will. At the kindness of the pure ck dragon, I smiled. As the saying goes, there are no bad pets in the world Finally, the ck dragon seemed to have be docile. You youre amazing in so many ways And the iron-blooded lord who saw itughed and said that. It was nothing. But I wasnt too puffed up, knowing that humility is the greatest virtue. Then, after walking for a while in the snowy fields, they headed towards the Imperial Armys garrison. It wasnt that difficult to reach the destination. After a few minutes, the ce where the barracks were gathered came into view. Is this the northern garrison of the Imperial Army? However, it was only for a moment that we were satisfied that we had reached our destination. Why aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Suddenly, an rm went off in the direction of the Imperial Army garrison. very quickly too. Its nothing else C Its a de de de dragon! Gather all of them! A D-Dragon appeared!! One of the guards who saw the ck dragon suddenly sounded the rm. And it wasnt long before a lot of people gathered in one ce. I think he even considered fighting against the dragon The moment a blonde male with the highest rank appeared. Canary Rugfeld. You really brought a dragon. Suddenly, the situation was resolved when the name of the Iron Blood Lord was called from the other side. The man with the radiant blondeughed as if he was dumbfounded, and soon his eyes shone coldly. Then, in a solemn voice, he saw the soldiers gathered in one ce and gave instructions to return. Nothing to worry about. I heard that they are all allies of the Imperial Army. Let each one return to his original position. There had to be a little fuss, but is it still an army? The imperial army, which had gathered in a tumultuous way, returned to its original position. And a man with brilliant blond hair narrowed his eyes as he approached us. I had to listen through the magic tool formunication, but I didnt know you would really bring a dragon. and. Is it seeing your face after a year? Its been a while since Ive seen you. Canary Rugfeld. next moment. My brother. There was a violent shaking in the iron-blooded lords eyes. *** Canary Rugfeld. Was it because he didnt know that the iron-blooded lord had another blood rtive? Suddenly, dizziness arose in my head, adding to my confusion. More so because I had never thought about it before. A younger brother The man with the brilliant golden hair was the older brother of the iron-blooded lord. Even the iron-blooded monarch did not deny this, so there was no doubt about it. But it was only for a moment that he was so dazed. Its not different I will. Brother Glioth. long time no see. The iron-blooded lord frowned and said as if half-forced to answer. It was a tone uncharacteristic of an iron-blooded monarch who often uses high-handed tone. She was also expressing her feelings as if she was ufortable or frustrated. But the blond man called Glioth answered calmly. I heard the news through the magic tool formunication. You said that your aide persuaded the ck Dragon-sama. yes. It is truly amazing. I knew you could do it, but I didnt know you could do it this fast. excessive praise Thats it. Glioth smiled and continued talking. Although it can be said that being good with people is definitely your ability. But Its funny to see him covet the emperors seat so ugly. Glios eyes werent smiling at all. A strange look contrasted with the smile on his lips. Thats why the hostility toward the iron-blooded lord was vividly felt on Glioths face. But rather than that, it was said that he coveted the position of emperor. Emperor? I couldnt understand why Emperor Wens name suddenly appeared. Wouldnt it be like starting a revolution in the empire and usurping the throne? But I can know the truth without having to understand anything about him. Glioth smiled and immediately turned his head and looked at me once. You are an aide who has been appointed to assist your younger brother. Its nothing else Nice to meet you. He found out why the position of emperor was mentioned in Glios mouth. My name is Glios Rugfeld, the prince of the Empire and a thousand chief of the Imperial Army. Thats very certain. is that so. It was only now that I understood the situation properly. Was the iron-blooded monarch an imperial princess? It was worth it. Having the same lineage as the imperial prince meant that her birth was special. I just didnt know because she never told me. Realizing such a new fact, I immediately opened my mouth. Han Seong-yoon. Thats a very unique name. Is that so. Certainly like a strong man, I also really like the sincerity without formality. Usually, if you say the prince, youre going to feel ufortable. Be great. Despite theck of response, Glios smile grew deeper. The benevolent appearance of the royal family, as if drawn in a painting. But I could see the smile on Glios lips twitch slightly. And also that there are words with thorns hiding between words and words. It looks like a n thatmitted a mistake somewhere and lived in seclusion And. So it feels kind of mysterious because it seems so far removed from moremon sense. The thought that he seemed to be disapproving of me soon changed from doubt to certainty. Crazy guy. sure Currently, Glioth is casting an advanced spin with a smiling face. That too is very unpleasant. Its just that after turning it around, it doesnt catch the pod with adornment that says its great or mysterious. In fact, Glios subsequent words were full of hostility. I dont know why someone who can tame a ck dragon helps my brother. Are they not even going to hide their intentions anymore? ah! nope I made a mistake. sorry. Im still too short to fit in the seat Glioth has been making remarks that cross the line as he bes more and more silent. Hes a younger sister with a beauty that could be called the flower of an empire, but Han Seong-yoon-nim certainly deserves attention. Its as if hes trying to figure out where the boundary of the bacsh is. In fact, Glios eyes were stained with hostility and inquisitiveness. He probably wants to know about someone strong enough to tame a dragon. Thats why Im trying to find out about humanity in this way. iced coffee. However, the appearance of a person is also important. I also respect Han Seong-yoons choice. By the way But my younger brother is a bit picky, so I dont think he would suit Han Seong-yoon. There was one thing the foolish prince did not know. If you expect anything from my sister as a woman, I have a suggestion. Its nothing else Han Seong-yoon. How about assisting me? If so, I can achieve what Han Seong-yoon wants Prince. ? It means that I dont care whether its a good or a prince. Anyway, Im not a person in this world, and Im not in a position to be bound by such things. So I thought I should let Glios know that he was misunderstanding something. Excuse me, but I have a question for you. yes? Do you want tomit suicide? ? Right away From my point of view, the prince seems to want to die right now. It tells you what will happen if you carelessly y with your tongue. Excuse me, but can I help the princemit suicide? to? Still, Im an elite in this field, so I should be able to finish it painlessly. that that that that? In a word, this is it. Thats very certain. I thought I was going to have no choice but to break your head. In the blink of an eye, Glioths face turned white and contorted. Chapter 285 285. Hope (3) I was curious. Why did the prince in front of him want tomit suicide? And how could they continue to ridicule me for taming the ck dragon? If you really dont want tomit suicide, its normal to not be able to do this. Otherwise, I cant understand being so arrogant. His words and actions gradually increase in intensity as he rolls his tongue as if he is going to cross the line slightly. At least this isnt something I would do for taming one of the worlds guardians. So at least I thought there would be a separate corner to believe. By the way Now, you asked me if you want to kill yourself, so youre saying youre going to kill me? Could it be that you didnt expect things to get so bad all at once? Glioth asked the question with a paleplexion. It was as if he wanted someone to tell him that what he heard was a lie. But I answered yes to his question without hesitation. So what? I am the prince of the empire. Although my younger sister is also a princess. To say that I am close to the current right of session So? ? What does that have to do with the prince wanting tomit suicide? . I think youre still misunderstanding something If you really want tomit suicide, you can y your tongue some more. No matter who the opponent was, I had no intention of stopping. The prince closest to the right of session in the empire? Since the iron-blooded monarch is far from the right of session, it seems that he is no different from the next emperor Thats why its hard to understand even a little bit. Do you still feel like you want to tell me something? It was worth it. Anyway, wouldnt the prince or whatever die the same if his head was crushed right here? If that happened, Glioths level of confidence would be useless. And Glioth seemed to have finally realized that fact. heh heh. crazy man. How can you think of killing a countrys prince Glios body trembled like an aspen tree, and the words continued So. That was only for a moment. Are you sure you want tomit suicide? I didnt want to waste time needlessly, so I smiled at Glioth. I think you can just say that clearly. and. I want to buy and buy Thats it. Confirming Glios will to live, I nodded. From now on, lets start thinking about life as precious. Ah, are you just saving lives without doing anything? Thats right. This crazy Glios face turned red as he finally realized that he had been fooled properly. In fact, I think I would have really killed him if I had rolled my tongue more Well, anyway, since I realized my mistake and apologized, I can forgive him to some extent. And above all, Glioth is the older brother of the iron-blooded lord, so its like this. If someone else was like this, the fist would have gone first rather thanmunication. Actually Oh, but I still want to crush my head, so youd better go quickly if you want to save me. The hand was still appealing its strength, saying that it wanted to crush Glios head. And when Glios saw his hands concentrating his strength, he was startled and broke into a cold sweat. A state of tension revealed on his face as if he might really die if he continued like this. Glioth was quick to be polite to me and bid me farewell. I know, I know. Sungyoon Han. I apologize for my mistake and I will step down. I see. And I will inform you that there will be no retaliation in the future. Its a shame. ? I would have known that I had given up on my real life, to the point of retaliation like that. To him, I continued talking with a flower blooming in a wide smile. You are definitely thoughtful like a prince. Thank you for thepliment Thank you. Could it be that he was greatly moved by the words of helping himmit suicide? He stammered loudly, his legs trembling, as if he was ovee with emotion. And Glios quickly stepped back, nced at the Sangvis Lord, and left ament. Ka Canary. be well with you I have work, so lets go. I have a schedule left. Certainly, unlike before, there was noposure. I wont stop you from going to the ce where the Four Apostles descended In response, the iron-blooded lord nodded and said with a forced voice. All right. and. Brother. If so, well leave it to entering the battlefield separately. Enough then. After saying that, the iron-blooded lord turned his back and left. Its as if its embarrassing to even have more in this ce. Could it be that Glioth was not so different? Without even talking to him now, Glioth quickly returned to his original position. And, watching that, I quietly matched my steps with the iron-blooded lords stride. . How many minutes did they walk without saying a word to each other? Thank you very much. Suddenly, the iron-blooded lord stopped walking. And that, too, with his head bowed. Her shoulders were trembling for some reason. And Nothing Only then did I realize that the situation was unusual. uh? It was worth it. I couldnt do anything Tears were hanging in the Iron Blood Lords eyes before he knew it. Im truly sorry And that too, almost on the verge of crying. *** In an instant, my head turnspletely white. What is this I felt chills running down my spine at the emergency that happened in the blink of an eye. The iron-blooded lord is about to shed tears? Since I learned about her, Ive had a brain freeze at a figure Ive never seen before. It was such a shock to see the iron-blooded lord, who seemed to have real blood, shed tears. To the extent that I want to roll my head as slowly as possible by activating the skill Focus on Combat. What should I do? Among the many experiences umted while climbing the tower, there is no experience that can solve this problem. It was worth it. Up until now, all I had done while climbing the tower was fighting against numerous enemies. Conversation skills that can soothe emotions while dealing with people? there could be Even among the skills and authority he had, there was no such ability. Therefore, the conclusion is that you have no choice but to think with your head pure. But there was no time to think. Its nothing else I want to apologize to you. Suddenly? Didnt you cower at your older brother and prevent you from being ridiculed? ah. I couldnt understand it, but I got it. Currently, the iron-blooded monarch is filled with emotions such as guilt, shame, and anger. In a word, she felt greatly responsible for not being able to say what she had to say because she was suppressed by Glioth. Actually, it doesnt matter that much Anyway, the opponent is the prince and at the same time one of the most influential figures in the empire. Therefore, it would be difficult to oppose the iron-blooded lord, not the challenger from the tower. Even more so if it was her brother. So I didnt care too much. Anyway, the iron-blooded lord was insulted more than me. And above all else, this side has already solved it. So I thought everything would work out, but it seems that it didnt. The iron-blooded lord spoke in a half-weeping voice. My older brother. It is an existence close to the right of session to the throne. So, from a young age, I couldnt do anything to my older brother and was taken away. And I quietly listened to her words. Thats why, as soon as I saw my older brother, I couldnt say anything In short, it meant something like learned helplessness. Isnt it funny? The iron-blooded lord spoke in a self-deprecating tone. Anyway, isnt the emperors session determined by each others strength and achievements? In her world, the emperors session seemed to be determined by skill. Even that in the form of power and achievement. Thats why Glios hostility spilled over to her. Perhaps the iron-blooded lord could have usurped the position of the next emperor. It was the tradition of the empire, so there was no reason to shrink from my brother. The iron-blooded lord was still feeling disappointed with himself. Even so, I was only protected by you. that too seriously. You didnt say anything even though you knew my name belonged to the imperial family. The iron-blooded lords words were gloomy. Perhaps this is your concern. Seeing me as I ampletely. But still, I did not live up to your expectations. And every time she spoke, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut. uh. That would be too No. It wasnt like consideration, it was just because I didnt know anything. It was because he had just learned that the iron-blooded monarch was a princess. Not even that. Other than that, I didnt know anything about it properly. Because I have never heard of private information from the Iron Blood Lord. But dont they say its okay as long as the results are good anyway? As long as the results are good, Ill be happy, so I quietly listened to her words. I thought that I would like to go beyond the Thousand and reach the position of the Thousand and one day obtain the position of Emperor. and. However, let alone the qualifications for the position of emperor, he cannot even protect one of his aides. The moment her words came to an end. I am I dont even deserve to be trusted by you. Tears of the iron-blooded lord were dripping in the snow. . I had an idea to tell her something. At least youd rather have the throne than have someone like Glioth be emperor. And that feeling of self-me is already enough qualification. But its not a word that sticks to the mouth very much. Somehow, Ivee to a situation where I miss Dam Chun-wus advice I desperately need Dam Chun-wus advice as I fell for a while due to the penalty of the ordeal. But you cant ask for help from someone who isnt here. Thats why I chose right away. It cant be helped. If that was the case, this was all I had to say. It doesnt matter if you me yourself. It didnt matter what the iron-blooded lord thought of him anyway. Even if you dont deserve to be emperor, even if you dont deserve my trust, I can do anything. Is that so Yes. It was worth it. Whatever you think, it wont matter anyway. Because what really matters is not what she thinks she deserves. What is that Qualification? You dont deserve to be emperor. You dont deserve to be trusted. You can say that. But I didnt think I needed anything so useless. At least I wouldnt think so. Because Canary Rugfeld. Even if you dont have those things, you have enough strength to achieve what you want. For me, you are the emperor and one of the few people I can trust. . So there is no need to talk about useless qualifications. What the hell And then. Because I will make you emperor no matter what. The moment he said that as if to not worry soon. Heeep! Suddenly there was a sound like a hup. uh? The moment I turned my head to him and saw the iron-blooded lord. The iron-blooded lords face turned bright red in surprise. With a smile like a mouth that Ive never seen before. Hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi Even that, as if he was surprised, hups repeatedly. Chapter 286 286. Hope (4) The iron-blooded lord continued to hup with his face dyed red. Hee-beep Hee-beep Could it be that what I said shocked her more than expected? She had a strange smile on her face, even though she had a surprised, iprehensible expression on her face. Should I say it reminds me of the murmur of a squirrel holding an acorn in its mouth? The iron-blooded lords mouth was oozing withughter. Uh And seeing that, I turned my eyes around with my body stiffened like ice. It was worth it. I had never seen an enemy like this before, when the Sangvis lord lost so much of his dignified dignity. But at best, to think that I would make her the emperor would make me lose my dignity and be surprised. Could I have made a big mistake? But that doesnt mean its not a reaction thats terribly offended. no. If I had to ask, wouldnt it be okay since he was smiling like a small animal? In fact, the iron-blooded monarch was not in a bad emotional state. I had no choice but to open my eyes wide as I noticed her feelings with the power of a godhead before I knew it. He would be like that too This is Because the emotions felt by the iron-blooded lord have be something close to faith. Is it trust? Her emotions, which changed in the blink of an eye, gave a feeling of trust. However, this could not be called a feeling of trust. It was darker than trust, but lighter than faith. There were few things I knew for sure, but there were things I noticed. Its nothing else Conditions fulfilled. The iron-blooded lords feelings are favorable to the challenger Han Seong-yoon . With this, at least the rewards of the special contract ordeal can be taken decently. I immediately put a small smile on my lips. It was worth it. It was because he had gained the trust of the Iron Blood Lord that he had longed for throughout the ordeal. Actually That that that The Iron Blood Lords tone, which had stopped huping before he knew it, contained no anger. I just feel confusion and trust that I cant hide. But that was only for a moment. Ugh she mumbled, her reddened face lowered. Your heart now I understand How much can you trust me now? Suddenly, she said she would know my heart, and soon even dyed her ears red. I dont know why, but at least it didnt seem offended. The iron-blooded lord wiggled his fingers and continued. I dont know why you did this to me but at least I knew that your heart wasnt lying. Is that so. so I wont say anything weak anymore. If you really want to make me emperor, I will do my best. If so, Im d. Satisfied. To be honest, I thought it was embarrassing because I was uncharacteristically moody. And I have something to say to you ? that you dont have to speak so dryly from now on. Are you talking dry? There is no need to call me by my title or by any other designation. that. Canary I hope you call me by this name. I had to hesitate for a second to answer. It was worth it. Up until now, I could only count on one hand the number of times Id called the Iron Blood Lord by name. And every time I saw the iron-blooded lord in the tower, I didnt even call him by his real name, so I wasnt used to it. But did he think that he was reluctant to answer because he was not familiar with it? The iron-blooded lord shuddered and said as if denying something. That that that so yes! Arent you my close friend! Thats why it wouldnt be right to call with such a distance! I didnt mean to ask anyway, so why bother talking like an excuse? And if youre going to be emperor in the future, isnt it right to keep a distance even from your aides? There were parts that I didnt understand slightly, but I didnt want to think too deeply. In any case, the iron-blooded lord wanted me to call him by his first name, and since it wasnt such a difficult request, he had no intention of refusing it. All right. canary. I will call you by name from now on. and. Sir The iron-blooded lord, no canary, twitched as if he liked it. Hmmmm. okay. Dont you think the distance has decreased a bit now? Han Seong-yoon. Ah yes. When I heard it, it seemed like that. At least its not bad. yes? And I will. The moment when I saw the canarys triumphant smile, I smiled. Woo woo woo woo-! It was then. Kwajijijijijik!! Suddenly, a ck pir mmed into the ground from the sky beyond the snowy field, and there was a roar. In the blink of an eye, the chat with the canary was cut off, and I had no choice but to harden my mouth before I knew it. It was worth it. Because I cant believe that The ck pir that fell from the sky is one of the abilities I know how to use. The Divine Realm? The pirs containing the ominous divinity were like the pirs of the divine realm that I had seen so far. And there was only one existence in this world that could create such an ominous divine realm. Before I knew it, I muttered with my face stiffened as I felt an unusual demonic spirit swarming all over the snowy field. Did the evil god who wrote the Advent of the Apostles use his strength Perhaps he used the divine realm while fighting against the dragons at the edge of the snowy field Is the situation twisted enough to use the divine realm? Looking at the ck pir, I felt a sense of anticipation instead of tension. thats fun. It was worth it. In addition to learning a new myth, its an opportunity to kill a godhead and acquire that divinity Finally, the final chapter of this special contract ordeal has announced the opening. Im looking forward to it. Its also very fancy. *** Canarys silver hair fluttered in a gust of wind from a ck pir. Did you feel it too? Suddenly, her red eyes were filled with tension. The moment when the canarys ruby-like eyes gave off coolness. She then spoke vigntly with a lot of strength in her body. A trace of the power released from the ck pir? Know. Thats right. no. It wasnt just the level I knew, but I definitely sensed the power of that. Even if she had reached the level of a sword master, she couldnt feel it as clearly as I did. Having encountered the realm of divinity many times, I knew better than anyone what it was. Divine realm. It is also a state of great power. At least the level of an apostle shouldnt be able to use it. Thats why I was sure. Now thats not the level of Apostle Advent. I dont know what the evil god got from the fierce battle with the dragons. But one thing was certain. Currently, the evil god has seeded in blunting the worlds protection against the dragons. Thats why they invaded the power to the extent of realizing the divine realm beyond the level of the Advent of the Apostles. Indeed [Master! ] The ck Dragon, who had been waiting quietly for so long, spoke quickly. [Connection with other dragons has been lost! ] . [ When the sacred realm is created, something seems to have happened! ] I know. From the moment the ck pir mmed down from the sky, I definitely noticed that something was twisted. Even if he descended as an apostle, the realm of the godhead is not so easy. It was worth it. At leastmunication between dragons, who are the apostles of the dragon god, is basically cut off. [Ah] Even if thats possible in Sadogi, thats all the more so. [Then what should I do! ] Not that simple. I replied with a smile at the ck dragons confused question. Now we enter the divine realm and make a decision. [ . ] Efficient, right? [ yes. ] Originally, as the saying goes, simple is the best, no matter what . Only then will he be able to kill the apostle of the evil spirit over there. Maybe in the middle of it, because of bad luck, it could lead to the battle with the final boss. So there was no reason to avoid fighting any more. Chak-. Lets go for a little ride. At that, I immediately climbed on the back of the ck dragon and looked towards the snowy field. It was worth it. Previously, it was possible to move using the ck dragons space jump ability, but not now. Currently, the sacred area of the ck pir at the end of the snowy field is greatly sacred. So there was no way to allow space to jump there. Perhaps divine powers prevent it from leaping through space. It would be better to use a physical means of transportation. The ck dragon also knew it, and let it ride on its back without resistance. [ thats right. It doesnt feel very good, though. Its not a ce to cover things up. ] And. canary. Get on. The moment he reached out to Canary while riding on the ck dragons back. Its your choice. okay. There must be some things that cannot be solved outside. She smiled as if agreeing, then took her hand and climbed onto the ck dragons back. If it is your will, I will go with you. As soon as Canary got on, the ck dragon kicked the ground. Shhhhh-! In an instant, a gong sound urred and the ck dragons body elerated. very quickly too. Still, like the apostle of the ancient god, the ck dragon was able to reach the edge of the snowfield in a short time. Before I knew it, I felt goose bumps as I saw an overwhelminglyrge ck pir in front of me. It was amazing. The power of the evil spirits seen earlier in < The Field of Proof > was clearly echoing here. Thats to a level that mortals cant handle. At this point, you will notice that it is not a normal Apostle Advent. Is there such a thing as an upper levelpatibility of Apostle Advent? Even the descent of the deities seen in the giant treebyrinth is not so high. Even when he used Advent in the Battle God Tower, he couldnt create a sanctuary like this. It was worth it. Because descending to an apostle means temporarily transferring a portion of the power of the Godhead himself to the apostle. There was no way that the apostles, who at most could not even be tower administrators, could handle the power of a godhead. Thats why the apostle couldnt handle it, so even if I used Advent, the power I could use was limited. But this time its different. But the evil god even left the sacred realm in the middle of the snowy field. What this meant was not tooplicated. It means that at least the Advent Advent opponent Im going to face from now on will be at least a quasi-god. Perhaps the apostle of evil spirits here is different from the ones Ive seen so far. Perhaps, it could have been higher than the dragons who had the qualifications to protect this world. It should be at least a 3rd-ss official apostle of an ancient deity. Otherwise, I wouldnt be able to abuse the power of the godhead like this. So Isnt it time to conserve energy? Can not help it. The divine authority deification is activated. It bes possible to exercise the divine authority ording to the potential divinity. The potential divinity is < transcendence > < death > < immortality > < reversal > < observation > < discipline > < harmony > < It''s the spirit of the spirit > < fighting spirit > [Now, lets go seriously.] Its time to use the apotheosis that weve been saving until now. Soon after, the moment when the apotheosis was activated. The ck dragon rushed straight into the ck pir of light. In ordance with the activation of the apotheosis, the entry into the sacred realm was made. Really I have entered the sacred realm < The Devil''s Ball > The best solo performance in a long time was prepared. Chapter 287 287. Evil God (1) As soon as I used Deification, I briefly suppressed the Divinity. Even though Ive activated Apotheosis for now, it wouldnt be good if it leaked to the outside. It was worth it. Currently, this ce has be a realm of gods because the advent of the Apostles is not enough. So, if you dont hide the case that happened with the apotheosis and reveal it, this side will be discovered. I didnt want to give out the location until at least I had some idea of the situation. And more than anything else, he didnt want to reveal his apotheosis to the iron-blooded lord or Canary. If you see this, you will have to exin the apotheosis to Canary. I didnt want that to happen just yet. I cant help it because the iron-blooded lord cant ept the power of the battle yet. A situation in which each other has just now shown feelings beyond trust. However, if the power of apotheosis is revealed without adding or subtracting, the sense of distance will widen. That too is out of control. That was the level of achievement obtained through deification. Thats why I entered the divine realm with the divinity temporarily condensed inside. I have entered the sacred realm < The Demon''s Ball >. As soon as I touched the pir of ck light, the sight I saw changed. In the blink of an eye, the snowfield disappeared and a cracked drynd appeared. Even thend is not the only thing that has changed. Its nothing else magic. Before I knew it, demons were blowing like wind everywhere. And thats to a level that cant be easily passed. Even if they were challengers, those below a certain level or without special equipment would not be allowed to even breathe. Actually Thats nasty. The canary also calmed her eyes, as if displeased. However, she was unaffected by the heavily polluted air. It was worth it. At least the iron-blooded lord would be a sword master. Beyond the realm of a sword master, the environment is virtually meaningless. Dealing with sword steel means that even legal concepts can be interfered with. Even if there was a difference in skill level, there was no way that they would be addicted to the demonic magic in that they could use their magic power to the limit. Theres no need to worry about the iron-blooded lord. After reminding her of her skills, my worries disappeared. Perhaps within this divine realm are the followers of evil spirits. If that were the case, there wouldnt be many people who could defeat Canary except for those who had descended as apostles. At least the rear could be left behind. [Thats] It was then. [What the hell is that? ] Suddenly, the ck dragon frowned in amazement and looked into the sky. And ordingly, I expanded my senses and raised my gaze upward. The moment he saw the sky of the divine realm < Demon''s Ball >. I could understand why the ck dragon frowned. Tsuzuzu-. It was worth it. Before I knew it, something like a ck orb had settled in the sky. Even the ck sphere didnt exist there meaninglessly. Gray, ghostly monsters were falling from the ck spheres that settled in the sky. Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The image of him crashing to the ground with a scream as if scratching a ckboard. And the evil spirits that crashed indiscriminately broke all over thend. Now I could see without looking any further. Its nothing else Is that the effect of this divine realm? The effect of the divine realm < Demon Ball > was that ck sphere. In fact, there werent that many debuff effects in the divine realm < Demon''s Ball >. Among the realm-type effects that I have experienced so far, the reason for not applying a directbat debuff was simple. Are you saying youd rather bomb than pour debuffs on enemies with the sacred realm < Demon''s Ball >? The nature of the territorial effect itself is different. Perhaps this divine realm < The Demon''s Ball > doesnt give me a direct debuff. Just like Karnar Sagsis or the god of battle The divine realm < Demon''s Ball > is optimized for the casters assistance. So the debuff effect was nothing to worry about. Its just that destructive demons rain endlessly from the ck sphere, and the life-killing demonic wind roams like air. Then there is less to worry about. Its meaningless, at least to me. However, dragons, the apostles of the ancient gods, are different. [Turn it off] For some reason, despite having holy power, the ck dragon let out a pain-filled sound in the magi. Could it be that because of the effect of the divine realm, demonic energy has a great effect on the dragon? It wasnt clear yet, but at least I could tell that the battlefield was unfavorable to the dragon. If thats the case, other dragons in the divine realm also dont have much magic resistance If it drags on for a long time, the dragons could really die. I need to add strength to where the dragons are as quickly as possible. The moment you immediately think about it and expand your senses to explore dragons. Aaaaaaaang-! [ Kuh!? ] Suddenly, ck thunder was shot from below and the ck dragon was hit. [ Did you get caught entering the sacred realm? ] As it was, the ck dragon lost its strength and stumbled, and then I looked down and narrowed my eyes. Is the time to think about it over? It was worth it. Dragon!! A filthy and foolish being who tries to go against the will of God! Why are you flying through the sky! Because at some point, countless people gathered on the dry, crackednd. Even if you roughly count the number, dozens of people easily pass by. Whats even bothersome is that theyre all different from the ones Ive seen so far. Each of the followers in ck uniforms had the skills of a preliminary apostle. AA AA AA! Oh God! please look! Seeing us beating those who taint Gods will! Is this fanaticism in the true sense? Even after seeing the ck dragon, the followers who worshiped the evil spirit did not appear to be frightened. And seeing that, Canary hardened her expression and took out her sword. I cant help it. Sungyoon Han. The situation is not so good, so I will take over this ce now. It seemed as if he would remain here and fight to the death. You go where you need to go. At least Ill try not to die. To be honest, I felt proud of Canarys appearance, but No. I had no intention of risking the canary here. Her powers should be used for more important purposes. At best, to send the sword masters level of power to the prospective apostles? Wouldnt that be a stupid waste of power? You may stay as is. If it was not official, but the believers who were preliminary apostles, they could ughter them as much as they wanted. They cant be my enemies anyway. Even Divine < Spirit > is used. Sacred power can be consumed to influence the real world with words. However, a veryrge amount of divine power is consumed by themanding spirit that interferes with thews of the world. ?Everyone splits in half and dies. Thats even more neat. *** Kwajijijijik-! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against Divinity brought her 0.017% closer to the 2nd Ascension. As a special reward for < Divine Ascension >, you will acquire the exclusive effect Genocide (D-). From now on, Challenger Han Seong-yoon will When you defeat enemies inrge numbers, you get a temporary stat buff. In the blink of an eye, the bodies of dozens of people standing on the ground quickly split apart. They dont even die in order. As if all the believers had been sentenced to death at once, their bodies were split apart. For each of them to have reached the level of preliminary apostles, they were so weak that it was absurd. But it had to be. Because Use Divine < Death > You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death > . It was because he used deification to bring out the maximum power as a god. Therefore, even a pre-apostle would die helplessly like that. But What the hell is this What he had been trying to hide from Canary until now was revealed. Is that you? What is this? Uh, how can you get this kind of power! Maybe its because Ive never shown the instant kill skill, even though Ive shown the divinity < Emperor >? Canarys eyes were stained with thick confusion. Even a sword master used unimaginable power, so it was worth reacting like this. Since the power of the godhead was revealed, there was no point in hiding it any longer. Then, I spoke without adding or subtracting the status I had acquired through deification. [Because its hard to say properly yet. ] And. [Ill exin it after the battle is over. ] When I said it as if I was in trouble at the moment, Canary replied as if it couldnt be helped. If so, Ill listen to itter But is it because of her great trust? Uh anyway, I decided to give you all my trust. Canary said so shyly. [Im d you understand. ] At that, I smiled at her and sang joy in my heart. At least this saved me the need to exin something to the canary for now. So, now I didnt have to stop the apotheosis from overflowing to the outside. He would be like that too Now I really dont have anything to hide my power. One of the reasons for hiding the status gained through deification was the covert movement, which is now over. Did those who serve the evil spirits do something before they die? Numerous people felt it with the senses expanded by magical powers. I can feel it. And too many to count. Even if the number of preliminary apostles alone is at least 400 or more Perhaps, even if the divine < Death > isbined with the divine < Death >, the consumption of divine power is not small. It was worth it if you had to deal with hundreds of enemies at the level of the reserve apostle. But [I dont care so much about the power of numbers anymore. ] Even so, there is still one Gods number to save divine power. It is also a means optimized for one-on-one fights. Its nothing else The divine power-only power list is activated. You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m. It will be greatly weakened. Anyone who continues to fight for over 44 minutes while being listed in the Shinigami list will be eroded by divine < death >. Deity-only authority. The unique powers obtained from awakening as a Shinigami and the ability to forcibly inflict death on countless enemies was invoked. Chow-! Im looking forward to it. I smiled as I watched the ck book automatically turn the pages and write names. When I was younger, I couldnt understand using auto-hunting in games to kill enemies. Is this how those who enable auto-hunting in games feel? A satisfied smile formed on his lips before he knew it. The percentage of the spirits and ascension will be automatically replicated. From now on, boring ughter is skipped with automatic hunting. Chapter 288 288. Evil spirit (2) The monks standing on the barrennd were exposed to death in the blink of an eye. Chow-! At the same time as countless people were written on the list of Shinigami, the divine < Death > shone. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes. As time passed, the presence felt as an expanded sense decreased. very quickly too. Ouch! My heart feels like my heart is about to explode Ugh! What is this! How! How can this happen! Everyone,e to your senses Kkekekeek. Oh ah ah ah !! where are you!! Where did youe up with such tricks?! Screams resounded throughout the sacred realm < Demon''s Ball >. The speed of dying is faster than I thought It was justified. Currently, the enemies below are being ughtered at once without a proper fight. Just because your name is written on the list of deaths, you cant stand it for a few minutes and your life ends. Heins of pain as if he cant breathe, and then dies as if he were suffocating. Seeing it while riding on the ck dragon made meugh. [ Its amazing. ] They were not officially chosen by the evil spirits. At most, its probably all of the preliminary apostles or those with slightly higher powers than that. However, despite this, they had the strength of the second half of the 10th floor in terms of tower challengers. However, they ughtered hundreds of them in a matter of minutes. Even without getting a drop of blood on your hands. To be honest, I couldnt help but feel better. Is it possible to reach this level even if there are restrictions on reducing all abilities? Even though he used Apotheosis to erase some of the towers penalties, it was huge. [There is almost no consumption of divine power] Even more than anything else, the consumption of divine power was not extreme, unlike the divine < Unryeong >. It was worth it. Currently, I have been given a position as the Goddess who presides over the death of all things, and I have even activated the authority of the list to assist with the divine < Death >. Therefore, the divine power consumed by the divine < Death > was inevitably reduced. Its definitely an advantage to be able to annihte enemies without using much holy power. Originally, due to the use of divine authority, divine power should have been exhausted without an answer Absorbed the spirit of the preliminary apostle Kilif Rugiel. The spirit of the preliminary apostle Magdna Ruglpian Absorbed] Absorbed themand of the prospective apostle Charied Tistalt] Now its almost the opposite. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the majority, bringing her 1.01% closer to the 2nd ascension. Still, do prospective apostles have a higher rank than ordinary people? The unexpected ascension of Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > has grown considerably. Its to the point where I cant take it lightly anymore. Actually Chizuzu-! The moment it was confirmed through a system message that the percentage of ascension had risen. [This is] Suddenly, because of the apotheosis, the divinity surrounding the body immediately shone fiercely. It looks as if a fan has been fanning the ce where the fire started. The brilliant light of divinity wraps more firmly as if protecting the body. And when I saw it, I knew what it was. [Armor] Its nothing else The flow of the case formed by apotheosis has a purpose. Until now, it was just a decoration that seemed to reveal the use of deification, but now it has changed. Divine status went beyond forming a flow on the outer part of the body and gained an assortment as a kind of armor. Im sure this will be usable. It is also a piece of armor with immeasurable value. It was worth it. Since its an armor made of divine power, its probably able to offset the attacks of divine power. If so, this armor of divinity was certain to be one of the greatest strengths of deification. Suddenly thinking that, my heart beat fast and anticipation arose. the divine armor. I want to try it soon. I cant wait to see how far it goes. Divine skills, powerful skills, etc Every time I obtained countless powers, I instilled anticipation. Whenever I get a new one, I always feel like I want to use it on a strong enemy. Will the divine armor work even for an evil god with power that surpasses the god of battle? I dont know anything yet, but at least one thing I know for sure. You have entered the central area of the sacred realm < Demon''s Ball >. You receive 4x the amount of damage due to the exclusive effect Concentrated Attack of the sacred realm < Demon''s Ball >. Right Thats it. That he would be able to test his newly acquired powers without wasting too much time. I skimmed through the system messages that seemed to obscure my view and looked beyond. The center of the storm, where countless powers rage, from which countless evil spirits pour down. It was a battleground itself where nothing could be found out. Huh Canary muttered in a firm voice after seeing such a battlefield. Could that be the center of the advent of the Apostles? Hearing her words, I nodded and replied. [ Maybe. ] Canarys expression darkened in an instant. How can there be monsters like that It was justified. I dont even know whats going on over there. Currently, the level of Canary is only at the level of a sword master. Therefore, her opponents should be at most level 4 official apostles. There was no way that Canary could know the situation there, since it was a battleground where the power was mixed so much that it could not even be counted. Canary red at the torrent of power with her eyes narrowed, then asked a question. Do you feel anything? [ yes. ] Then could you tell me what the situation is? [ no. You wont even have to ask. Youll find out soon anyway. ] What is that But instead of replying to him, I activated my skills. The skill Battle eleration is activated. The skill Focus on Combat is activated The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated. The power skill, Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 80%. Current skill ovep progress C [8] [ Wait a moment with the ck Dragon. ] And. [Then you will find out soon. ] next moment. [What will happen here from now on. ] Just like that, I rushed into the center of the battlefield in the blink of an eye. *** Deed! This isnt even a blender. In the blink of an eye, countless forces surged as if swallowing her body. The feeling of entering the inside of a blender where the des are spinning like crazy. At least it was cured because he had activated all of the protection-type skills along with the divine armor. Perhaps, if he hadnt obtained the Holy Armor, this torrent could have consumed some strength. All damage is multiplied by 4 due to Concentrated Attack, the exclusive effect of < Demon''s Ball > in the sacred realm. Currently, all damage I receive has been quadrupled. So the divine armor had no choice but to feel even better. Its because the divine armor is so good that it can block even an external force acting 4 times stronger. I never thought I would be able to use the Divine Armor obtained through the 2nd Ascension like this. At least the Divine Armor seemed to shed most of the power if it wasnt the power of the Goddess. In fact, he was not hurt even though his body was about to grind like a blender in the current torrent of power. It is thanks to the divine armor obtained by ughtering hundreds of prospective apostles to block external forces. Even though it looks like limited armor that can only be used in apotheosis, its good power. I had to squint my eyes at him in the torrent of power that I couldnt see anything. Is it a storm mixed with magical powers, magi, and divinity? But that frowning was only for a moment. Still, I can understand the purpose of this screen to some extent. Before I knew it, I realized what this powerful storm was for. So youre trying to block outside interference at all. Perhaps this was because the dragons were trying to exclude the interference of believers and apostles from outside. Its understandable. It was worth it. Perhaps it should if all the dragons had the same strength as the ck dragons. Even if you are a 4th-ss official disciple of the ancient deity Dragon God, it will be difficult to deal with the servants of the evil god. It must be a kind of temporary coliseum to deal with only opponents who used Advent of the Apostles as much as possible. But still, its not that annoying. However, even that could only eliminate enemies at the level of an apostle. The skill Symbol of Destruction is strongly activated. By consuming a certain amount of mana, all types of abilities gain destruction correction. The moment I activated the auxiliary skill obtained by destroying the Great Forest where the Dark Elves live. Kkwajijijijik-! In the blink of an eye, the storm of power tore apart like paper, gradually returning sight and senses. It was worth it. Its because the forces that had been ovepped in severalyers, as if interfering with electromaic waves, were broken. And Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The moment when the storm of power dissipated after a brief collision and the battlefield was revealed. As for those who continue to fight to the death, I was able to finish grasping them right away. In the center are four dragons of different colors and a ck-haired young man. Its nothing else An evil god who < descended > to the 4th-level formal apostle Bazera is very happy! [Hahaha! They seem trivial and cute! You guys cant even use it as a toy to y for a while! Ha ha! ] He noticed that a ck-haired young man in a ck habit was an apostle of evil spirits. Even that was in the state of having received < Adescent > of the evil spirit. And as the target of the Advent of the Apostles, the ck-haired young man was showing tremendous power. Even though < Advent > was written on a mere apostle, he could easily kill a deity with no god name. [How could this be! ] Among the four dragons, the red dragon shouted in a voice full of astonishment. [Why is it that I can already descend to an apostle! ] I think I can say that because I know about the causality of the tower ] The dark-haired young man in the Advent of the Apostles giggled and said mockingly. [Ah, that? ] Just like a child ying a prank. [Thats right, since I made a deal with Top. ] However, the dark-haired young mans face revealed an unconceble malice. [ Its been a long time since the top has prepared a yground for me, so theres no way thew of causation has a big effect, right? ] And. [Have you exined it now? ] next moment. [Then die ] Before the ck-haired young man could even finish his words, I immediately turned my divinity into cold air and shot it out. So, so, so, so-!! The authority Winter King is automatically activated when the conditions are met. All stats are boosted by +10%, and the user is not affected by cold at all. Maybe its because the Ascension percentage has risen and the level of divinity has risen? ? Because the power of divine substitution increased more than I thought, the wave of cold air became faster. To the extent that even the official apostles who received < Advent > from the Godhead could not cope with it. Brilliant golden ice rushed over the ck-haired young man as if to devour him. Jijijijijiji-! [Ouch! ] And the ck-haired young man barely blocked the ice, moaning as if he hadnt even thought of it. Overwhelming cold air radiates from the golden ice, revealing its presence. Only then did everyone standing on the battlefield turn their eyes to me. The dragons gasped in amazement, and the ck-haired young man widened his eyes filled with anger. And [Is that the end of the will now? ] Before I knew it, I said as if I was following the words of the ck-haired young man. [Then die.] The next moment. The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. The ck starlight engulfed the opponent like a beast. Chapter 289 289. Evil God (3) Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!! The ck starlight galloped like a beast and swallowed everything in its path. And that too at a speed that no one here can react to. Actually [What the heck is that] [Could it be the divine authority of a formal deity? ] [ Heh heh! How could such a vicious power! ] The four dragons standing at the center of the fierce battle all vomited their astonishment. It was worth it. The Holy Light, which contains the divine < Death >, has been strengthened to the conceptual level due to deification. So, even the dragons, the apostles who served the ancient deities, could not help but be astonished. Actually, my strength, demonstrated here, touched the realm of concepts. But I had no intention of enjoying such a reaction. Chak-. [Hand over all qualifications for world protection. ] The moment he said that as hended lightly on the drynd. [Because then it will be possible to protect the world. ] Among the four dragons standing at the center of the final battle, the green dragon calmly asked a question. [What the hell are you talking about when it suddenly appears? ] Maybe you dont know what the situation is [Surely. ] There is no need to persuade them when there is no time. [I am the one who was qualified to protect the world by the ck dragon. ] That would be the case too [I came here to fight the invasion of evil spirits. ] Because there is no need to persuade anyway. Deed-! In the blink of an eye, power shook mercilessly from the divine armor that covered his body. At least enough to subdue those present here within seconds. And at the same time, the four dragons gnashed their teeth. He saw the torrent of divinity and epted it as a threat. [A foolish inferior species! ] Among the four dragons, the red dragon growled. [Nothing will happen even if you threaten us like that! ] But the red dragon misunderstood something. [If you dont qualify, you guys will lose. ] It has nothing to do with intimidation to raise the strength of the armor of divinity obtained through deification. [What do you mean by that? The apostle is dead! That means you killed yourself! The evil spirits wont be able to invade anymore! But what do you see and say that? ] It deserved it. [ no. ] Because [Still, the apostle of evil spirits is not dead. ] The condensation of the force so far was to prepare for the uing shock. The < Advent > status effect of the 4th-level formal apostle Bazera is strengthened by anger! In an instant, the dust that formed in the ce where the holy light swept away was removed. Before I knew it, ck demonic energy was rising in the air filled with dust. The appearance of Magi harmonized like a bubble formed inside an aquarium. There was a deeper sense of life in it. [Youre] The dark-haired young man, who was hit directly by the holy light containing the divine < Death >, opened his eyes wide. Its fun. no. He was no longer a ck-haired young man. Before he knew it, the demonic energy rising from his body began to blend with the divinity and reveal an independent power. [ Again and again] Its nothing else [ The challenger You are!! ] The evil spirit I had seen before was perfectly nested in the ck-haired young man. At least, in the past, the level of power transmitted through < Advent > was adjusted in consideration of the condition of the ck-haired young man . No matter where I looked, I could immediately notice that < Advent > could not be used for a long time. Am I adjusting to the power? In fact, the ck-haired young man in the state of writing < Advent > was trembling because he couldnt handle the power. Its as if hes trying to somehow adapt to his current situation. However, in preparation for the shock toe from the outside, the divinity was transformed like an armor to protect him. It seems to have a simr function to the armor of divinity that I currently acquired through deification. Probably, it didnt seem like they would be able to get anything even if they attacked right away. I gave a lot of power to only a 4th-ss apostle. and. The situation is more serious than I thought Before I knew it, I understood how strong the evil spirit in front of me was. Even if its in < Advent > state at most, it wont be easy to deal with evil spirits at that level. Perhaps the evil god who wrote < Advent > is closer to the god of minimalbat. It is not because the evil spirits have powerparable to that of ancient deities. Its just the evil god only epted the recoil that would be obtainedter by injecting power into the apostle to the limit. I never thought it woulde out this far. Presumably, the evil god condensed about 40% of his current power into the apostle. It was obvious that he would not be able to withstand it with the level and power of a 4th grade official apostle. At the point of leading a mere apostle into a state like a medium-sized god of battle, he should have gotten a lot of bacsh. Does this mean you want to kill me to the extent of doing this? It seemed like he was going to kill me on the spot, even if it would seriously hurt his god. [The existence of a 4th grade apostle at most, using it as a one-time chess piece? ] All of a sudden, the dragons were shocked to see the evil god wearing the Advent of the Apostle. Its as ifmon sense that you thought could never happen has been broken. Perhaps he didnt know that he would pour so much energy into a 4th-level apostle . Even if its a 4th-ss apostle, if its a fake reproduced by the tower, theres no need to consider the consumption. Even more so if it was only reproduced by the tower. I dont know what to do with the side effects of the excessive < advent > that willeter. And when I saw that, I said calmly. [ World Guardian Qualifications. ] Exactly [ Hand over everything. ] He obtained the qualifications to protect the world without any persuasion. [Thew of causality is satisfied by saving you anyway, right? ] At this point, the 4 dragons should have made enough calctions. It was worth it. Will I be killed by the evil spirit in the state of Advent of the Apostles who forcibly drew power, or will I hand over all of my qualifications to protect the world? situation in which one has to be chosen. [The battle will begin when the apostles body adapts to the attack of the evil spirit. ] The options themselves were limited. [If you spend time like this without doing anything, all of you will die. ] There is not much time left until the apostles have even adjusted to the Advent of the Apostles. [ Rotten! okay! Ill give it! Wouldnt it be enough to give you all the qualifications!! ] [ At this rate I have no choice but to pass the qualifications to protect the world! ] [ I cant help it. I cant use the swarm anymore. I will do as you wish. ] So The white dragon transfers the qualification to protect the world to the challenger, Seongyun Han. The green dragon transfers the qualification to protect the world to the challenger, Seongyun Han Transferred to challenger Han Seong-yoon Red Dragon transfers the qualifications to defend the world to challenger Han Seong-yoon Which of the options to choose had already been decided. You have acquired more than half of the World Guardian Qualifications. The next moment. Conditions satisfied. Seeing the system message popping up in front of my eyes, I smiled. Acquire the divine < Ikalium >. It was justified. It is not a divinity that deals with a certain concept, but a divinity that is unknown. But what this meant, I couldnt help but want to know. Because I had an intuition once before through a system message that I could acquire the divinity < Earth > from Earth. ats. Its nothing else Contender Han Seong-yoon bes the guardian of the world < Ikalium >. Now, he has the authority to protect this world reproduced by the tower. *** As soon as he became a god with all the powers of the world, things changed quickly. Obtain Divine < Ikalium > to qualify for World Protection and Blessing. However, Divine < Ikalium > has no control over the world and is not treated as an official divinity. But Divine < Ikalium > > will disappear without a trace after the end of the special contract ordeal. A system message pops up in front of you, and at the same time, the power of the divine < Ikalium > dwells in your heart. This is quite Its deep. It is different from the powers that havee into contact with the conceptual realms of divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death >. The Divine < Ikalium >, which has acquired the qualifications to protect the world and has taken shape, can say this. Its really like this world itself. It was actually such a force. The Divine < Ikalium > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used. Nothing else By the Divine < Ikalium >, the will of the world itself dwells in the challenger Han Seong- yoon . Leeum > has be an existence that represents the world itself. Whoa-! [ . ] I immediately noticed what it means to have the will of the world. In an instant, the level of divinity rose. However, the level of divinity did not just rise for no reason. This could be said to be a kind of sympathy. I think I know roughly what it is. It is also a sympathy that is achieved through the authority to protect this world. Youre synchronizing with the will of the world I felt. The will of everyone living in the world and what is outside the world was captured by the senses. Before he knew it, he could feel the evil spirits trying to invade the world with his senses. However, the level of divinity was tuned more closely and raised the level. And as it is, the status of being tuned in to the world reaches a certain point. Top Before I knew it, I felt the transcendent existence of the tower from the perspective of the world. However, despite this, the part that could perceive the tower was limited. A state in which only a very small amount, which is nothing more than garbage, is captured by the cognitive system. But even this was enough stimtion. If its the will of the world, can you feel at least a piece of the tower? Its great too. Its getting fun. If you tune in to the will of the world, can you even perceive the tower to some extent? I never thought there would be a way to go to a higher ce besides ascension. Now I could see why deities indulged in beliefs all over the world. Is it possible to be a god of a certain world if you receive faith from everyone in the world The system message that told you the way to acquire the divine < Earth > was also like that before. If you gain a certain amount of faith from people all over the earth, you can get the divine < Earth >. If so, this meant that I couldter be the god of the earth and sympathize with them at a high level. Its interesting. But then I shook my head and let go of my thoughts. It was worth it. Im not in a position to think about this in detail yet. Another growth route of Godhead is definitely fun and interesting, but its not something you can handle right away. but this is at least something I have to do after getting rid of that thing. actually- [Pahaha! ] The evil god, who had finished adapting to the advent of the apostle before he knew it, smiled with his eyes twinkling. [Did you fully enjoy the grace given until the end? ] Then he smiled like a child and then spoke in a chilly voice. [Until now, I didnt know the fraction and did a good job. God of Proof. After seeing you because of that insignificant guy. I havent forgotten about you for a second. ] Even [So, from now on, you will have to pay the price, right? ] Thats also full of life. Was it regrettable that I had to withdraw right then? Its probably because of ying with the evil spirits in the world we went to in < The Field of Proof > . ] Lets go on our own-! It was quite brutal, probably because the memory of that time remained as a trauma. In the blink of an eye, demonic energy like water droplets was fired like a bullet, revealing the power of authority. It was probably one of the techniques that dealt with magic with the added power of divine authority. In fact, it had a lot of power. But. Wow-! [ under? ] Before I knew it, I was able to hit all the bullets fired by Magi with my hands. Even that, to the extent that the skin was slightly chafed. And the eyes of the evil god who saw it shook. [ Did you cut it? ] It deserved it. [How can you use the ck magic imbued with divine power with only the back of your hand? ] Perhaps this ck bullet had quite a bit of evil spirit power. At least to the extent that it could be used even for formal deities. But even so, it doesnt work for me right now. Thats probably the case too Having sympathized with the world, I was able to damage the dignity of power only here. Thats all the kinds of things you want. It is the same principle that the bullets of the ck Magi fired by the evil spirits are blocked. Here, it was possible for a ss below a certain level to be downgraded to a crappy level. Is this the godhead who gained the will of the world? That is what it means to be a god recognized by the world. It has this power even though it is only part of the authority of world defense. So, how far can this be used against a godhead? The question about this was immediately resolved without taking too long. [I dare to brazenly hold on to my power on the subject of a useless lower-ss deity! ] Exactly The divinity < Ikalium > conveys the will of Han Seong-yoon, the challenger, to the world. It was an order regarding evil spirits openly against the will of the world. [Enough. ] That too The Divine Spirit < Words > is used. You can influence the real world with words by consuming Divine Power. . Get out of my world. In the form of strengthening the will of the world with the divine < Unryeong >. [What kind of nonsense is that again] And this did not give the evil god who wrote < Advent > a chance to finish his words. The < Descent > of the evil god used on the 4th-level formal apostle Vazera will be canceled. In an instant, dark energy surged from the apostles body, and < Advent > was released. Currently, the apostles who have received < Advent > are in a state of rags. As a result, the weak apostle copsed like a puppet whose thread had been cut. As if it was time to move. [Is it really? ] And The evil god is greatly angered by the forcible cancetion of < Advent >! The evil god is greatly angered by the forcible cancetion of < Advent > ! The evil god is very angry at the forcible cancetion of < Advent >! The evil god is very angry at the forced cancetion of < Advent > ! The evil god is very angry at the forcible cancetion of < Advent >! The moment when the evil gods feelings echoed again and again without adding or subtracting from the system message. Conditions satisfied. The Tower of Trials has been paid by the Evil God in exchange for numerous sacred powers. The Tower of Trials acknowledges the aftermath of the causalw and mortgages the divine power, and allows the < appearance >. A sensation arose and the space was torn apart. Wow! And there, eyes that I had never seen before appeared. Eyes that looked like those of a reptile. There, you can feel the purest, deep malice. [ you. ] Even the power and the power of that malice. [ Challenger. ] Its nothing else [I will definitely kill you.] An evil god. Possibly a being who has the potential to rise to the level of an ancient deity by striving for a rise in rank for a long period of time . He appeared here without even thinking about the future. This crazy Even that, not as an incarnation, but as a body. Chapter 290 290. Evil spirit (4) In an instant, the air in the area is heavily suppressed by the attack. [ . ] However, this is not the only heterogeneous change. The divinity < Ikalium > loses a certain amount of status due to an external divinity. Currently, I have be a deity of this world by acquiring the qualifications to protect the world. This But Its more serious than I thought. The moment when the space split open and the power and character of the evil spirits were revealed. The case itself, perfectly attuned to the world, suffered a certain amount of damage. Even that, to a considerable degree. And what this meant was this. Its nothing else Are you saying that just by being here, you can crush the ranks of the world? An existence that can damage the world just by revealing its appearance If you spend countless hours, there is a possibility that you will reach the ancient deity. It meant that among the enemies he had faced so far, someone with the highest rank had appeared. [ Rot. ] Even that is at a very staggering level. How should I do this But there was no time to think. Deed! In the blink of an eye, a rift in space opened, and an even higher power overflowed from there. Even the torrent of power did not stop at giving pressure as it was. He suppressed the divine armor obtained through deification and suppressed the armor itself. Kagagak!! What is this No. Can you look at this and describe it as just suppressing it? Its like grinding steel with a chainsaw non-stop. In fact, part of the armor of the divine was being ground, and the power of the armor was gradually consumed. [ Isnt it cool? ] And. [Theres nothing like the strength of a persons personality for a kid whos babbling like you. ] Before I knew it, the cracked space widened even more, and soon something came out of it. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ] It had the appearance of a child with ck hair. Its like a kid who doesnt know anything from the outside. But the ck goat-like horns that grew on its head were telling. Its not different [I told you this before. ] A being whose power is higher than that of other deities among formal deities. [Only you will surely kill me. ] The god of evil manifested himself in this ce. [Now I can keep that promise! ] Soon, the moment when the evil god smiled and his reptile-like eyes shone. [Pahahaha-! First of all, lets start by cleaning the junk! Come on-! ] shing! The smile on the corner of the evil gods mouth twisted before he knew it, and soon the divinity shone like a runaway. The divinity of ck color surges like a whirlwind of water. And as soon as I saw that, I hardened my face. That should be the case too Due to the Shinhwa < Insect ughter >, the attack power of the evil god increases by 600% against the weak. [Pahaha! ] This is because the ck divine wave inted its power like crazy in the blink of an eye. To be rotten! In response, I immediately activated various protection-type skills to wrap my body and activate the myth. The Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +478. Special buff < Apostle of Justice > is activated. It rises. It was justified. It was unknown what the scope of application of the mythical < Insect Massacre > triggered by the evil spirit was. Right now, maybe I could be one of the targets of the mythical < Insect Massacre >. Thats why there was a need to get out of the scope of application by activating the myth right away. I think Im going crazy. And then there was an explosion of abilities that seemed to be crazy, and the vitality was overflowing. All stats +478 isnt enough, so all stats increase by 100%. I think I got this crazy buff because I lost all the items while entering the ordeal . As a user, I faced a formidable enemy that I could never win. The skill Indomitable Will is activated. The judgment that the enemy could not be defeated appeared, and my bodys abilities rose in an instant. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. Even that is not enough < Contempt for the strong > was written. But, despite this, instinct still did not stop and sounded the rm. Thats an opponent thats hard to beat, even if you agree with the world. [Clean up all the lizards here!! ] The moment when the ck wave swayed as if it was about to destroy everything. [Who are you calling a lizard! ] [ Even if theres no such thing as a human being, I can withstand your attacks!! ] [What do you think of us, the apostles of the ancient deity Dragon God! ] The dragons who had been watching the situation so far began to move. Maybe now Im thinking about feeding the evil god directly. Lets increase the concentration of the divine armor as much as possible. Tsuzuzu-. In an instant, divinities like water droplets rise from the armor of divinity made of apotheosis. Its like boiling water in a kettle. In fact, the principle was not much different. So I just focused my mind. Because thats how Ill be able to live. and. Chaka gagagak-. In the blink of an eye, the ck waves split into thousands and moved as if cutting something. Even the chopping of this ck wave was incredibly fast. Even though his physical ability has dramatically improved, his body vision cant keep up with the chopping. However,pared to that speed, nothing happened after it was strangely hacked. As if the hacking itself never happened in the first ce. [ . ] But . In the end, it will be like this. Nevertheless, I was sure. Kwakwagua. I knew it by the sound of something copsing slowly in my ears. Its ruined. With this, at least all 4 dragons here are now dead. Even though they look fine on the outside, they are already dead. And this isnt spection. Actually. Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!! As if the momentary tranquility was a lie, everything in the spot where the ck wave had passed was sliced. In an instant, thend split into hundreds of branches and the topography changed. Not even that. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! The four dragons were ripped apart in shapes now unrecognizable. And that, without even being able to utter a final word. In the center of the storm where everything is cut off one beatter, there is only one thing that is intact. Its nothing else Kaga-ga-ga-ga-! Did you barely hold on as you thought It was the divine armor that raised the power inherent in divine power to the limit. Is it even thanks to the addition of various protection system skills? The armor of divinity obtained through apotheosis barely blocked the attack of the evil spirit. And the evil spirit who saw it went mad, as if he knew it would happen. [As expected, you are not a toy that can be broken easily! ] And. [Challenger Look forward to it! ] next moment. [Ill y with you for as long as possible! ] His eyes, dotted with pure malice, covered his entire body. Damn it From now on, it wasnt like a battle between equal gods. [ . ] It will be the worst showdown filled with only irrationality. **** In an instant, as soon as he sensed the malice emitted by the evil god, he reced the divine. For now, there must be a need to change the battlefield itself. It was worth it. So, so, so, so!! The authority King of Winter is activated automatically when the conditions are met. All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. Apletely broken situation. Therefore, it was necessary to receive a stat buff with the authority again and create an environment. Above all, there is a divinity that satisfies the conditions of use by forming an ice field like this. A new rule is created in the sacred zone by the divine < rule >. It was the same with the divine < rule > obtained from the usurper before. Ive never had a chance to use it properly before, but now its different. The divine < Rules > also had to be boldly applied to the ice area created by the divine. That way, the time you can endure from the evil spirits will increase. At least the battlefield environment has to be adjusted to my advantage! And Divine < Rule > creates a special rule in the sacred ground. Rule 1. All weak points within the sacred ground are amplified in proportion to the weakness of the sacred ground. Rule 2. Holy ground The skill output of everyone within increases by 100%. Rule 3. The ice area within the sacred area is maintained by absorbing all types of divinity. Within the instant the divinity < Rule > was applied to the vast ice area. Hwaaak-! The armor of divinity obtained through apotheosis shone brilliantly, and strength surged throughout the body. Amplified the power of divinity, increased skill output by 100%, and prevented the destruction of the ice zone. In other words, I did everything I could with the divine < Rules > as much as possible. But I had to harden my face. The consumption of divine power is no joke It was justified. This is because the divine < Rules > consumes a lot of divine power per second. In order to lower the consumption of divine power in our own way, we set a wide range of targets for the divine < Rules > Nevertheless, the consumption of divine power was greater than expected. Still, at least doubling the skill output is a benefit, but Even the benefits of the divine < Rules > obtained by consuming such divine power were not optimistic. I dont know how long I canst. Can not help it. As soon as I entered this ce, I was forced to leave all kinds of items in the tower. And among them, there were items that could be used instead of special moves and items that could be used as thest survivor. But now all of that was gone. [The difficulty is crazy once. ] Perhaps from now on, I will have to throw away everything that depended on items and fight. There was nothing to argue with the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword, which he always carried in both hands. There were not even items for survival, such as returners worn-out wristwatch (SSS+) or ck and white hourss (S+). In a word, everything is decided by the one-hit kill. [ Rot. ] In a situation where there is no way to do anything, the mouth keeps spitting outints roughly. But even so, I couldnt stay still. That would be too [Pahahahaha-! Watch how far you run away! Contestants Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] It was because the evil god jumped through the ice zone with his eyes shing before he knew it. oh oh oh oh-! In the blink of an eye, the body of the evil god was shot like a cannonball and approached at a transcendent speed. But its not the approach speed thats really creepy. Suddenly, the evil god extracted a ck whip that was a mixture of divine and demonic energy from his hand. He was even trying to wield it flying at transcendental speed. Is there no answer other than a head-to-head match? If so, have you decided what to do? The authority skill Sword of Iron Blood is strongly activated. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghghhhghhhhhhh! Holding the frost-colored sword in my right hand, I received a ck whip with it. Jijijijijijik-!! However, as if it would be difficult to block it with just this, the sword creaked and the body pushed. In addition, he mixed with the Power Skill, Spirit Source Demonic Sword, and used it. Even so, it was difficult to offset the impact of the body being pushed out. Not even that. Myth < Designate Clown > is activated, and all speed of challenger Han Seong-yoon is reduced by 10%. Shinhwa < Worst Toy > is activated, and all damage taken by challenger Seong-yoon Han is increased by 10%. Shinhwa < Designate clown > is activated, and challenger Han Seong-yoons all speeds are reduced by 40% Crackling!! [Its fun, its fun! Ahaha! Its like a really unbreakable toy!! ] As a deity that has built up a reputation for a long time, numerous myths have weighed on the body. Now, the Divine Armor is so damaged that it cannot block external attacks. In the midst of being increasingly on the defensive, I did not lose hope with a twinkle in my eyes. [ .] It deserved it. I still have enough strength to endure. The current evil god thoroughly thought that he was leading this fight. He even ruled out a future in which he would be thoroughly defeated. If so, there was a way to use it as it is. Then there is no need to despair. It was worth it. Perhaps the ck Dragon and Canary side could sufficiently block external intervention. So, under the premise that there was no outside intervention, there was something that could be achieved by taking time. Right The divine power exclusive power List is activated. You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m . Anyone who continues to fight for more than 44 minutes while being listed in the Shinigami list will be eroded by the divine < Death >. list of the dead. The final possibility that has not been properly shown to the evil god until now The true authority as a godhead that deals with the death of all things has been revealed. Chapter 291 291. Evil God (5) Chow! In the blink of an eye, a ck book unfolded in the empty air. Designationplete. The evil god has been registered in the list of death gods. The power of the death god begins to act on the god of battle. Divinity < Death > will be able to easily erode the designated target. The moment my name was written in red letters on the page with the book open. done! Seeing that, I had no choice but to draw an arc at the corner of my mouth. Is this the number of odds thrown List. The exclusive authority obtained by bing a god who truly deals with death was activated. The list of the gods of death is one of the hidden numbers that have not been properly revealed until now. Its fortunate that I havent revealed the value of the list until now. It was worth it. The value of the Shinigami list is that after 44 minutes, the divinity < death > will be definitively eroded. ording to what I noticed in the previous battle with the god of battle, this is information that the opponent cannot know. After some time has passed and been eroded by the divine < Death >, you will be able to recognize this trap. The opponent cannot know about the confirmed erosion of the divine < Death >. So Then, the possibility of using the vignce of the evil god to bring victory increases Now, the key will be to hold out as much as possible from the evil god. That way, the Divine < Death > can be eroded by the list of death gods. But even that couldnt be said to be easy. That would be the case too [For now, I wonder if we can simply crush the divine armor! ] Because the child-like evil god in front of you is a high-ranking deity. [Pahaha! ] Suddenly, the evil god went berserk once and then threw out the ck divinitys whip. But its more like stabbing than swinging. Its like using the tip of a whip like a stabbing sword. And Kwakjijijijik-! Soon, the moment when the ck whip pierced the divine armor. Just like that, the divine armor itself was partially broken and the body floated in the air. I tried to keep my feet on the floor as much as possible, but there was no way I could withstand the power of the evil spirit. Kugu Pce!! [!! ] In an instant, the body soars high into the sky and moves away from the earth. Not even that. Suddenly, the divine armor was torn apart and ck smoke was rising from the body. Its nothing else Shiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! The specter has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user. The specter of the pre-apostle Ludrick has disappeared. The specter of the pre-apostle Condelun has disappeared The spirit of the dead] [What] The spirits of the reserve apostles previously collected were consumed for the purpose of preventing damage. That too without missing a single thing. At most, you have to consume the reserve apostle levelmanders with one stabbing attack? Stopped in the sky before I knew it, Iughed out of embarrassment. [Are you saying this is a high level deity? ] It deserved it. Its really close to a monster among monsters. Themanders I had stocked up for the worst were all used up with just one normal attack. At most, hitting with the divine whip isparable to the divine power Of course, I guessed to some extent that the evil spirit was this strong. Ive seen it before in the Giant Tree Labyrinth and < The Field of Proof >. However, when I saw it before, it was only a faint sense of ss. There was something I could feel when the opponents power came into direct contact with my skin like this. Is it a level that ispletely different from the general deity? It was far away. Its to the point of doubting whether this is really the same divine power. I couldnt help but feel hopeless thinking that even this could not reach the ancient deity. It is all the more so because he is being pushed back even though he is in sympathy with the will of the world with the divine < Ikalium >. But its not a level where you cant win at all. Still, a ray of hope remains. There was a way to survive even if the evil god was a high-ranking deity with numerous myths. It was worth it. Isnt it familiar to risking ones life against an enemy that cant be won anyway? I gained a lot from the decisive battle with the god of battle. There is no need to be afraid. Took-. [Its a wall youll have to hit someday anyway. ] And. [If thats the case, Ill get over it here. ] Havinge to that conclusion, I turned over and stopped. It looks like you are standing with your feet in the sky. Thanks to the martial arts he had learned so far, maneuvering in the air was easy. As I looked at the ground with my body still fixed, I saw the evil god standing leisurely and looking this way. [Ahaha. challenger.e down slowly I mean, nothing will change anyway. ] Even [You still have enough time to y, right? ] Bastard And with an infinitely cheeky look. Seeing this, I couldnt help but close my eyes coldly. Theres nothing to be gained by sumbing to provocations like that anyway. And instead of responding to the evil spirits provocation, I immediately activated my authority. Its nothing else The special power Single Duel is strongly activated.] In a 1:1 duel with the opponent, the users divinity consumption value is reduced by 15%. Kill the god of battle and hismand It activates the authority extracted from The 15% reduction in divine consumption value is an overwhelming advantage. So my eyes twinkled. I never thought the power of a single duel would be something like this. I didnt know because I had never used it before. But now that I know it, I should use it properly. I smiled lightly at him and continued activating my powers at once. Numerous skills and powers are activated, and the power goes up one by one. And The skill Intangible Sword is activated. The skill Intangible Sword is greatly affected by challenger Han Seong-yoons Divinity. The skill Intangible Sword is activated by Divinity < Transcendence > Myth ovep is used. When a certain amount of the skill Intangible Sword is generated, a newly additional activated ability Divine Interference is used. Myth ovep and Divine Interference. The moment I confirmed that I had obtained all the buffs that could be obtained with the Intangible Sword skill. As it was, I opened my eyes wide and used it as if mixing a myth that would reduce the gap with the evil god as much as possible. Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of the < Nemesis >. Those who do not have a will cannot resist your divine power. From now on, the effect of < Chaos > will be added to Challenger Seongyoon Hans divine operation. When < Chaos > is activated Extracts the enemys negative emotions with faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the higher the efficiency of faith extraction. And. [The skill Counterattack Shield is activated.] Next, I held up a red long sword made of magic in my left hand. It was only now that he had regained the familiar dual sword system. A form that was sometimes used whenever the light sword skill was used when the starlight skill was not obtained. Originally, it was a skill used in the protection system, but since it can change shape freely, it was wrapped around the hand. It will probably be at least a bastion that will fill the gap without the breaking sword. For now, this is the best. With this, the preparation isplete. [Whoa] The moment I grabbed the sword wave as I was ready to leap to the ground. [The skill Blood Seeker is activated.] In the blink of an eye, a bloody storm surged from the body and fell to the ground. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! It looks like a tidal wave that will devour the earth falls like lightning. [ . ] However, there was no way the evil god-like monster would be harmed by a mere bloody tidal wave. Then it would be the right way to add strength without stopping at this. And [The skill Unextinguished Mortal me is strongly activated.] In an instant, ck mes dwelled in a lightning-like bloody storm, and the worst disaster urred. [ Goes. ] next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A storm of blood infused with ck mes hit the ground. *** An unquenchable mortal me. A skill that devours everything until the very end within the limits of magic power In an instant, it burned everything on the ground using a bloody storm as a medium. [Ahaha! ] But [What the hell are you doing preparing so hard in the sky? ] Even in a ce where everything in sight was burning, the evil spirit stood still. [Still, did you bring something interesting in your own way? ] No. Still, it didnt mean that I couldnt harm the evil spirits at all. Because the evil gods skin was burning with ck mes before he knew it. [I never imagined that you would use a me that interferes with thew of causality. ] But that didntst long either. By the divinity < Purity >, all abilities other than physical power are weakened. Kwajik. [But I am an evil god. ] In the blink of an eye, the evil god destroyed the ck me with his hand, and his eyes shed. Could that be the ability of the evil spirits protection system? Suddenly, the body of the evil god was covered with something like a gray protective film. It is also of a very high level. [ okay? challenger. catch like you Even if I used the power to deal with thew of causality, I couldnt reach it] But it didnt matter. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Spirit Source Demonic Sword, Double is activated. Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [8] times. Kaga Gaga Gang! Just as it was, the evil spirit mumbled in pride, and quickly got out. He unleashed a sword attack with the Honwon Demonic Sword added to his sword-gang () and destroying skills. However, despite this, the power of divine < purity > surrounding the evil spirit did not disappear. Did Ipletely weaken the power contained in the sword and skill? Despite the addition of sword steel that can twist even thews of the world, it was protecting the evil spirit like a fortress. [ dare. just like you cut off my words ] However, that doesnt mean that swordsmanship or skills disappeared at all. Then there is a way to break through. and. The skill Symbol of Destruction is strongly activated. By consuming a certain amount of mana, all types of abilities gain destruction correction. Next moment. [ under? ] So-so-so-! Suddenly, the protective shield of the divinity < Purity > began to tear. It was worth it. Among the skill corrections obtained with the skill Symbol of Destruction, there is also Divine Destruction Correction. Therefore, even the protective shield of weakening abilities obtained through divine < Purity > had no choice but to be shattered. However, as the saying goes, even if it rots, its junchi. The evil god didnt just watch the destruction of the divine < purity >. [ Mr. Ha. ] Suddenly, the evil god had the intent to kill in his eyes and raised his divinity. [It annoys me.] Its nothing else ] I immediately recognized that it was a precursor to the activation of divine authority. [I think Ill have to break some limbs and start. ] In an instant, the face of the evil god distorted and the divine power was activated. Due to Shinseong < Dissolution >, challenger Han Seong-yoon is designated in a special state. And. Due to Shinseong < Dissolution >, challenger Han Seong-yoon cannot protect herself from all attacks. Due to Shinseong < Dissolution >, challenger Han Seong-yoons body breaks easily. Due to Shinseong < Dissolution >, challenger Han Seong-yoon The power loses its form. The next moment. The Shinhwa < Light of the End > is activated, and the light of sin shines on challenger Han Seong- yoon . The power of mythology that could drive the world to the end became a ray of light and prated his body. [Ouch! ] Even blocking or avoiding was not allowed. A state in which there is no choice but to watch as the body is shattered by divine < dissolution >. All items for survival were left to the top, so there was nothing they could do. But even so, there was ast bastion. Right away The skill Final Resistance is activated. Invalidates the fatal wound inflicted on you. All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills arepensated. Corresponding skill A one-week cooldown is applied to Final Resistance. A skill that had not been used and was hidden by an item had been activated. The body that was smashed returns to its original state in an instant, and the condition is fixed at its best. But even so, I couldnt get rid of the chills. He would be like that too [ Did you recover this cheekily? ] Its because the evil god shone his divinity with his eyes as if he was looking down on him again. [Then kill again] But this time, I didnt give him a chance to use the divine power. Use divine < protection > Consumes divine power to give out a protection that excludes external divinities once . Whoops. [ what? ] In an instant, the holy power of the evil god disappears meaninglessly. [ What else is that? ] But I wasnt too optimistic. Even if I block the Divine Power this time, the cooldown of the Divine Power will turn again over time. In the end, it is because they have no choice but to face death by the evil spirits. Currently, the power of evil spirits is sufficiently grasped with various abilities. Therefore, it was possible to draw conclusions. [What happened? Because that seems to be the end anyway. Now its useless to make a fuss] Its nothing else. [I can win. ] Before I knew it, I glimpsed the light of victory in this battle. [Cut off your cheeky words again? no no! wait for a sec. what did you just say? ] But doesnt the evil spirit think so? [You are you saying that you can beat me now? ] He asked with an exaggerated gesture as if he was dumbfounded. [ okay. ] But I answered him like that without wavering. [ its crazy? Can a bug like you beat me? hot! You have to talk nonsense! ] Of course, as I thought, the evil godughed loudly andughed. [Its not bullshit. ] But then what? [I can kill you. ] [ ha. Its no fun at this point. A challenger who is nothing but catch. you cant beat me ] [ Do you really think so? ] [What] I came to the conclusion that I could win even if it wasnt already on the death list. [I know you have a lot of fraudulent abilities. ] It deserved it. [ by the way. ] Backlight reflection. There is no choice but to shine after reaching the final end And because there is a divinity that shines only when it is cornered. [There are still enough formidable scams here. ] Its nothing else Divine < fighting spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used. With divine < fighting spirit >, challenger Han Seong-yoon receives arge buff in proportion to the level of fighting spirit. Divine < fighting spirit > All buffs received from will act as debuffs if challenger Han Seong-yoon loses his fighting spirit. God of Battle. The divine < fighting spirit > obtained by defeating the divinity with which he had umted bad rtions so far was activated. He knew enough about what kind of power the divine < fighting spirit > possessed. Its a divinity that gets numerous buffs in proportion to the gap with the opponent. and. Challenger Han Seong-yoon feels a strong fighting spirit against her opponent! The next moment. Divine < Fight > increases the recovery speed and total recovery by 100 times. Divine < Fight > increases all divine powers by 100 times. Divine < Fight > increases the attack speed by 100 times. . Divine < fighting spirit > increases the ability to resist external divinities by 100 times In an instant, power surged from all parts of his body. It means that all kinds of abilities, except for the level of divinity, have increased 100 times . [ Huh huh? uh? no! What is this! Why is this power given to you! ] But [This is a scam! Its a scam! How! How can someone like you! ] Unlike the denial of the evil god, the activation of the divine < fighting spirit > was only the beginning of this reversal. [Are you calling it a scam with just this? ] There are still fraudulent numbers left to write. The god of transcendence raises the power of the concept of transcendence. Even that is a very tremendous power. [Thats interesting. ] That should be the case Use Divinity < Transcendence >. All abilities will be outside the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities will go outside the set range. Opponent The growth rate of all types increases [84] times in proportion to the level difference between the departments. [Now, the real scam begins.] Essentially, I am the deity who presides over the concept of transcendence. Chapter 292 292. Myth of Transcendence (1) Using Divinity < Transcendence > All abilities be out of the set range The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range. In proportion to the difference in level, the growth rate of all types increases [84] times. Brilliant golden light flowed from all over the body in an instant, and power ran out of control. [ . ] It made sense. I never thought the power gained from the gap with the evil spirit would be this great. Due to the current divinity < transcendence >, all abilities are out of the set range. Thats why the power of skills, powers, and numerous supernatural powers was greatly amplified. It feels like a whirlpool has arisen in the calm sea. Is this the amplification of power in proportion to the gap with the evil god? There is a serious level gap with the opponent, so you get the secondary effect, Skill Tuning. From now on, all skills can be autonomously adjusted using divinity. [ Its fun. ] I smiled at the system message that appeared before my eyes. All skills can be adjusted autonomously using divine power? At first nce, it had a shocking effect. And the confirmation of the power in this was done quickly. Its nothing else The skill Shock Block blocks an additional 40% of the power rted to the external divinity. [Is it roughly like this. ] As soon as I used one of the active protection system skills, I immediately learned about the ability. [Is the skill itself partly out of the systems domain? ] A thing that can go beyond the limits set by the tower and its systems. That was the new effect obtained from the divinity < Transcendence > due to the gap with the evil god. If desired, it would be possible to adjust and use the skill at will. I got something amazing This is an effect that I couldnt get even when I used divine < transcendence > against the god of battle. Is it a power that can only be used this time because the opponents level is high? In a word, it was a power that could not even be used unless it was a demon-like monster. So its probably an ability that can only be used in exceptional circumstances like this one. It would not lead to the acquisition of permanent power. Its been a while since I felt sorry for him. Suddenly, a roar erupted in front of my eyes. Its not different. [You are you you are you!! ] The evil god, who had made an expression of disbelief until now, gnashed his teeth and vomited in denial. [At most, trash protected by the tower! How could such a high level of divine power! ] It deserved it. [You dare to be an equal opponent, not a ymate? ] Currently, all of my abilities, except for the level of divinity, have increased 100 times. With the divine < fighting spirit >, to some extent, they matched each others abilities. So, it must be bad news for the evil gods who regarded me as just a toy to thoroughly fool around with. Actually [I think youll admit youre trying to be equal to me on the subject of mere toys!? ] As it was, the evil god gnashed his teeth and raised ck divinity and demonic energy from his entire body. [There has to be a certain amount of arrogance! ] And. [ Challenger. ] next moment. [Now Im going to put an end to this boring game!! ] Suddenly, the body of the evil god was distorted like an afterimage, and the new model wasunched. The terrain copsed in an instant, and something like a shock wave flew in. However, without avoiding it, I was prepared to take it as it was. It was worth it. I can stop it. All protection system skills, such as the current skill Shock Block, have been strengthened by the divinity < Transcendence >. Not even that. The armor of divinity obtained through the second ascension has also been restored. Considering that all abilities increased 100 times due to the divine < fighting spirit >, there is no need to be afraid anymore. actually- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! Soon, the moment when the collision with the evil god wearing the ck divinity urred. Kwad-. [What?] Before I knew it, the power of the evil god was blocked by the twin swords, losing its impact. Its so perfect too. The magic that was mixed with the ck divinity even surpassed the level of blocking it. Because all the demonic energy released by the evil god was absorbed into me by King Manmajis skill, which was strengthened by the divine < transcendence >. [Manmaji King? How could someone like you acquire the qualities of a ruler in the demon realm! ] The evil god probably knows something about this skill. [I dont know about that. ] But in the middle of the battle, there was no need to listen to that anymore. [Are you prepared to be hit? ] As it is, I activated the skill with my eyes sparkling with the intent to kill the evil god. Kiyiyiing!! The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. And. [ What! ] [ Since this happened anyway, lets get along well. ] next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The ck starlight ran out of control as if spreading the divinity < death >. Chee Hee Hee-! [ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] The evil god, who had blocked the damage with divinity until now, let out a scream filled with pain. It was worth it. There was no way he could easily block it because he unexpectedly fired a blow that received various skill corrections. Not even that. Myth < Vampire Exorcist > is activated. Divine attack has the effect of < Cannot Regenerate >. Divine attack has the effect of < Exorcism >. Myth < The natural enemy of all things. > temporarily turned off and the mythical < Vampire Exorcist > was used. Its an attack with an effect that cant be reproduced, so I have no choice but to feel great pain. So, the evil spirit struggled in pain without even recovering from the damage it suffered. [Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ] And in the meantime, the situation was gradually going in a direction that was beneficial to me. Its nothing else The mastery of the skill Battle eleration (S-) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Battle eleration (S-) has increased by one level. The mastery of eleration (A-) has reached 100% The grade of the skill Instantaneous eleration (A-) has increased by one level Skill Shock Block (A+) The mastery of has reached 100%. The level of the skill Shock Block (A+) will increase by one level. The effect of increasing the growth rate by 84 times means that the strength is rapidly increasing. *** I can feel it. Skills grew in the blink of an eye, and power overflowed everywhere. And the power reaches a point where even the word distant would not be enough. I dont know the level of divinity, but at least the power itself isparable to that of an evil god. Are all skills acting as one authority and a kind of divine authority? Its nothing else With the divinity < Transcendence >, I can now use the power beyond my limits. Realizing that I was close to victory, my eyes lit up. It was worth it. I was going to see the match by confirming and eroding the divinity < death > with the list of deaths . Maybe its possible to just win without wasting time like this But. [You bastard] As it has been so far, the situation didnt go away that easily. [You dare to think you can kill me without even knowing the subject? ] Its nothing else. [Ill let you know what divinity means through death!! ] The evil god, who had an intuition of death before he knew it, began his final struggle. [Open your eyes wide and look carefully. ] And. [This is the true value of divinity! ] Soon, the evil god shakes off the remnants of divine < death >, and such a mad moment. The Divine < Male Will > is used. By the Divine < Male Will >, all statuses of the Evil God are temporarily elevated . My senses sounded the rm and advised me to run away. It was worth it. Because the level of divinity felt by the evil god went up at once. Not even that. Shinhwa < Divine Mocking > consumes thew of cause and effect, and challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power is sealed for 1 minute. Is it because of the difference in rank I could immediately understand why the holy power was sealed. Perhaps the gap between the divinities had widened to the point where the divine authority was sealed. It was the same as before, when he failed to be an official godhead and his divinity was sealed by another godhead. The fortunate thing is that its not the seal of the divinity itself. However, this is just the use of divine authority sealed. Divine < fighting spirit > and divine < transcendence > are already in the same passive state. Therefore, only divine authority in the form of arbitrary activation, such as divine < death >, is blocked. Above all, the time to seal the holy power was only one minute. So if you hold out for 1 minute, this side will have an advantage. Then its worth a try. At most, it was only a one-minute seal. If you hold on until then, the evil god, who has consumed all of his strength, wille closer to defeat. Then, in this position, it would be better to hold on with the support of the divine < fighting spirit > and the divine < transcendence >. The moment I organized my thoughts on what to do soon. Divine < Evil Eating > is activated, and the power to consume all the divinities dwells in the next attack . What is this again And I couldnt help but be astonished when I saw the divine light. [There is a divinity that can swallow the divinity of others? ] It deserved it. Is there another divinity that can devour divinity? I dont know if there is a divinity that can exclude or eliminate the divinity of the godhead, but there was nothing that could eat the divinity in the attack itself. So I judged intuitively. If you get hit properly, youll die instantly! This is something that should be prevented no matter what. The Shinhwa < The Sky Stained ck > is activated, and the thunder of sin is shot at the challenger Han Seong-yoon. And. [Down! ] In the blink of an eye, the evil gods eyes glistened with murderous intent, and ck light shed from the sky. sure death. A thunder that has the will to destroy me with all its might. It became a line of lightning while retaining unfathomable divine power and was pierced. I wont fall out! I stretched out my hand as I watched the ck thunder strike in an instant. Due to the divine < Evil Eating >, the defense imbued with divine power is useless. It was worth it. After all, all the protection made up of divinity will be destroyed with the divinity < Evil Eating >. Just looking at the size of the divine power embedded in the thunder, it was easy to notice that defense was meaningless. Even that thunder is a wide-area skill that cannot be evaded by Shunbos authority. Then it was wise to choose the next best option. Its neither evasion nor defense without divinity, but its a power that can cause attacks Thats right The exclusive effect Distortion is activated. Turn it on. The designated space that causes more than a certain amount of twisting will disappear. It twists the trajectory of the thunder itself and distributes the power to various ces. Kkwajijijijijik!! In the blink of an eye, the divine power in the heart is greatly consumed and the space is distorted. The moment when there was a roar that sounded like crushing iron. ck thunder began to twist at once. And Huh? As I controlled the flow of thunder like that, an idea shed through my head. This Its nothing else I think you can return it as it is? He realized that he could seize control over the ck Thunder before he knew it. Chapter 293 293. Myth of transcendence (2) ck thunder, imbued with divinity, is the power of mythology. Originally, I cant rob ck Thunders control. Know. The ck thunder formed by the power of mythology is of a kind that cannot be plundered. It is even more so because it has the power to consume all divinities with the divinity < Evil Eating >. But even so, I couldnt help but be sure that I could return the ck Thunder to the evil god. Theres no need to rule the ck Thunder itself. Its nothing else Its enough to gather the ck thunder and shoot it at the opponent. At least I can control where the ck thunder is shot. It was worth it. The exclusive effect of distorting the space acquired through the power of Ascension could transfer the ck thunder. Its not that you can control the ck thunder freely, but you can rob a certain amount of initiative. So my eyes twinkled. Then its not that different from taking control of the ck Thunder. Of course, even if I reverse the ck thunder, I dont know if it will work on the enemy or not. Essentially, ck thunder originated from the evil god. So, I wasnt sure if it would have no resistance to the evil god who handles the ck thunder. However, as the saying goes, you have to lose money anyway. Thats very certain. Its something worth trying. And as soon as I came to that conclusion, I immediately sped my hands and increased the torsional force. Kkwajijijijijik-! In an instant, the shape of the sky is distorted and the space is condensed as it is. The whole area in the sky was distorted like a broken mirror. On the 21st floor, the power derived from the divinity of one of the native deities, the serpent that tried to devour the mountain, imprisoned the ck Thunder. I wont fall out!! Of course, the ck thunder also resisted being assisted by the divinity < Evil Eating >. It is also to swallow all the divine power that exists everywhere. However, divinity did not dwell in the power to twist space. Unlike the consumption value, the power of the exclusive effect recreated by the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > does not use divinity as a medium. And thats why the control of ck Thunder is passed over to this side. Its one of the best abilities that Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > has. Even if it is a divine ability, it is an advantage that can be obtained by reinterpreting it with the power of mythology. Is it even thanks to the support of the divine < fighting spirit > and the divine < transcendence >? The distortion of the space went beyond what was supposed and continued as if it dominated the entire space. A situation clearly beyond what can be achieved with the exclusive effect Space Warp. And [Ahaha! ] The evil godughed at the twisting of the space that followed in an instant. [Do you think you can handle the thunder of sin that the divine < Evil Eating > dwells in? ] It deserved it. [Thousands of years were spent only to acquire the divine < Evil Food >! ] Divinity < Evil Eating > makes the attack itself have the power to devour all divinities. [Unless even an ancient deityes, the power of the divine < Evil Eating > will be unstoppable! ] So, without hesitation, the evil god continued to sneer andugh. [ How much more so would a child like you deal with the thunder of sin that the divine < Evil Eating > dwells in. ] But ] I did not agree with the words of the evil spirit mixed with low feelings. [ no. ] That would be too. [You dont know, but I can handle it. ] The twisting of space elerated, and before I knew it, the ck thunder was perfectly controlled. [What.] Didnt I know that a special move that could be called a conversion would be blocked? In an instant, the expression of the evil god turned pale and filled with denial. It was as if he was wondering how he could handle the ck thunder. Actually [Howe the twist in space doesnt break? ] The evil god looked at the perfectly controlled ck thunder from the sky and said in horror. [This is nonsense! It is the power to consume all divinities! Why is it that the power of four bastards is resisting the Divinity < Evil Eating >!! ] [ Isnt that simple? ] [ What? ] [The power to twist space is a pure power that has nothing to do with divinity. ] Crackling-! [Is that enough exnation? ] And. [Then die now. ] next moment. I wont fall out!! The distortion of space was concentrated in one ce like a whirlwind, and ck thunder struck there. And thats exactly where the evil spirits stand. Even this was made up of wide-area skills that evil spirits could not evade, just like it did for me. So the face of the evil god had no choice but to distort. But that was only for a moment. Its not different. [Kuu! A worm-like challenger child! You really think I cant control my divinity!? ] Before I knew it, the ck thunder began to be controlled little by little by the evil spirit. [The only ones who are hurt by their own power are not the same deities!! ] This is the number of worst-case scenarios that have been guessed so far. The fact that the evil god can properly control the mythical power of the divine < Evil Food > means that counterattacks will soon be useless. However, controlling the ck thunder, he had properly thought about this as well. [You really think so? ] At that, I smiled deeply and shed my eyes full of divinity. The seal of the sacred power of the myth < Holy Mocking > will be canceled at the end of the time. It was understandable. [If thats the case, you should change your mind. ] Before I knew it, 1 minute, the sealing time of the Divine Power, had passed. Divinity < Word of Word > is used. You can consume divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a great deal of divine power is consumed when you use the Spirit of Word that interferes with thews of the world. You are ck Thunder cant control Is it because of the spirit that directly interferes with the power of the godhead? The consumption of holy power itself increases by nearly 10 times, soaring to the point where you cant handle it. Even if the divinity consumption value is reduced with numerous abilities, this does not change. Perhaps, it would not take more than 10 seconds to interfere with the control power of the evil god with the divine < Sword Spirit >. But even that was enough. [Is the situation different now? ] Exactly [This this this! ] To give a blow to the evil god who has been overconfident in himself. [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass tower that havent been eaten! ] And. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The moment when the ck thunder, which had the power to eat away all divinity, struck directly. [ !!! ] In an instant, the world was colored with ck thunder. *** Tsutsutsu The power skill Ashen Blood is activated. Regenerative power increases ording to the amount of holy power consumed. Body regenerative power increases by 400% and bes immune to all non-regenerative abilities. . [ It hurts. ] Right after the ck thunder struck the ground. I had no choice but to take a hit to some extent. It was worth it. It wasnt enough that the divine < Evil Eater > dwelled in it, and the ck thunder made up of the power of mythology even engulfed those around it. But at least I didnt get hit, so Im fine. But is it thanks to the ability to offset the shock to some extent with the skills of the protection system? It didnt do as much damage as I thought. At least it wasnt enough damage to cancel the deification. However, the evil god who was hit directly by the ck thunder was different. Chii-i-. [Keuk kkeuh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha gone of suffering] Suddenly, the evil god was vomiting out pain with his skin greatly tanned. It was worth it. The ck thunder made up of the divine < evil food > and the mythical < dark sky > must have been his special move. In fact, I used to think that if I was struck by ck thunder, I would die instantly. However, seeing the power of ck thunder directly like this was dumbfounded. They say its the power to eat away the divine power, but its really amazing Perhaps if I had been hit with that, I would have stood in the ce of the loser. Thinking so made my blood run cold. Ill finish it right here without wasting too much time. That way, youll be able to win the battle without any variables. [ . ] The moment I made that decision and raised the divinity in my heart as much as possible. Suddenly, the evil spirit looked at me and trembled. It was as if he was frightened at the very thought of using divine authority. In fact, unlike before, the evil god was trembling and showing fear. [I dont like poetry] Even [Lets stop that. Now Im wrong] Thats to the point of throwing away my pride and begging me for wrongdoing. [Jin is real! I think I was really wrong! challenger. to you! Now I can stop interfering at all! ] But I was not shaken even when I saw the cry. As it was, I quietly concentrated my thoughts and moved on with the formation of a sword river. Every time I took a step like that, the evil god took a step back and tears flowed from my eyes. [To Tata Tower! Ill make an oath to the tower! I will make sure that I cannot cause direct or indirect damage to you with thew of cause and effect! ] [ . ] [ That and that and another? huh? Among the lords in the demon realm, there was one who obeyed me! Ill give him to you! Then you will be able to establish a holy ce in the Demon Realm! ] [ . ] But the pace did not stop. [ I can give you authority. ] It deserved it. [ Otherwise, Ill give you the holy relic. ] Anyway, the purpose of this special contract ordeal is to prevent the invasion of the world from evil spirits. [ I can give you anything you want. ] Then, only driving the evil god to death would be the correct clearing. [So, if only he could save me! to you! I will give everything! ] And all the conditions to kill the evil spirits were in ce. Time conditions met. Battle for 44 minutes while designating an enemy in the list of death gods. Due to the list of death gods, the evil god is eroded by divine < death >. Confirmed erosion of divine < death >. The moment when the power like insurance that wasid before the battle was activated. The worst power that drives everything to death as it is has cast its image as an evil god. [ Kuck-! ] The evil spirit who had been begging for forgiveness so far vomited blood. [What the heck is this] Maybe he doesnt know why he was eroded by the divine < death > [Simple. ] I was able to tell you in a nutshell. [From the beginning, I had no intention of saving you. ] [ . ] [ If you know now, just die. ] [Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ] and the evils shed blood tears and shed a smile. [I dont like it I dont like it I dont want to be killed by a guy like you like this] He muttered with a slurred expression, like a child in a group. [I dont like it! ] And. The power of the sacred realm < Evil Spirit''s Ball > is concentrated in one ce ording to the will of the owner. Suddenly, the power of the divine realm was concentrated in one ce, and an overwhelming blow pressed down on the whole body. [This ce As much as this ce Its my territory, its my world!! ] And the evil god shed bloody tears andughed madly as if denying the reality. [I can crush the dregs that the tower grows in an instant! ] It deserved it. Can I use the power of the divine realm like this? It was because the power of the divine realm was crushing the whole body with an overwhelming force. Perhaps the evil god chose to concentrate the power of the divine realm as a final struggle Great. To the extent that it could be used as a useful move in a decisive battle with someone with a different level of divinity. But I think this might be worth remembering. Isnt there a good reason why I havent used this kind of technology until now? [ no. ] There is a downside to concentrating the power of the divine realm in one ce. [From now on, this is my territory. ] Thats the worst disadvantage in a battle between gods. The special power Create Divine Realm is activated. Consumes challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith to create a divine realm < Transcendence >. Its nothing else and try to exclude it. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! [Its over with the ugly madness now. ] The power of the divine realm can be excluded as another realm of the divine. In an instant, the brilliant golden light drove away the gray power and scattered bright energy everywhere. Light dwelled in thend that had been unevenly cracked, and the sky that had been obscured by clouds was colored with the color of the sunset. The divine realm < The Devil''s Ball > is starting to copse due to an external divinity. [No no no! I hate everything! Why does it have to be like this! Why oh oh oh! ] And. [Enough. ] next moment. [ Just die. ] As it was, I swung a sword with various skills and sword steel to finish it off. Im sorry-! It was a futile end for a god with the possibility of reaching an ancient god. If he had spent such a far-flung amount of time on the growth of his divinity, he would have reached the tip of the ancient deity. But anyway, its toote to even discuss the possibility. All of a sudden, divine power and spirits flowed out of his insignificant corpse, and it surged right into me. This is And then. Absorbed themand of the evil god Pirzul von Leia Ikelium. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the godhead brought her 28.8% closer to the 2nd ascension. Next moment. [ hot. ] Before I knew it, I had no choice but tough. [ thats interesting. ] That would be the case too [Now youve reached the position of a higher deity. ] because I realized it. It means that we have reached the end of the formal deity that can look at the ancient deity. Is it a reward for running with the only goal of getting stronger? In an instant, the divinity overflowing all over the body raised the level and stepped into a realm that had never been reached before. [ .] Due to the sudden elevation of divinity, it was difficult to capture the power. This is the world that the gods with a high level of divinity looked at. All the concepts I had known so far have been changed. It was certain that what I could do from now on would bepletely different from before. And that too on a very high level. However Newly gathered tales have umted enough to create a myth. Calction of a myth ording to the actual result and Shinto belief. . Time to adjust to the sudden and rapid surge of divinity. Growth has taken ce again. The level of the tales is too high. Even You saved the world, overpowered and dealt with many formidable enemies, and reached a high level by killing a high-level deity in the end. That is also an extraordinary level of growth. Considering the level of the transcendent tale, a myth appropriate to the rank is created. Divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the myth to obtain the original myth. Transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > has beenpleted. I got a unique mythology that only I can get. Chapter 294 294. Transcendence Myth (3) Considering the level of the transcendental tale, I create a myth appropriate to the rank. The divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the myth to obtain the original myth. Transcendent Myth < Spirit Tuning > has beenpleted. [ . ] Without time to adjust to the soaring level of divinity in an instant, a system message came up. The myth of transcendence. It was a myth of a kind I had never seen before. It was worth it. It is an original myth obtained by applying the divinity < Transcendence > to the level of a transcendent tale. Perhaps I am the only one who has obtained the transcendental myth? At least, it urred to me that it was not a pointless spection. I definitely got something interesting. There was a need to find out what the Transcendental Myth < Spirit Tuning > was. But I couldnt concentrate my thoughts on the transcendental myth yet. That should be the case too The mastery of the skill Battle eleration (S) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Battle eleration (S) has risen by one level. The mastery of A) has reached 100% The grade of the skill Instantaneous eleration (A) has risen by one level The mastery of the skill Shock Block (S-) has increased. It has reached 100%. The level of the skill Shock Block (S-) will go up by one level. It is the growth of the skills umted through numerous proficiency with Divine < Transcendence >. A lot of skills have grown in just one battle. Its to the point where I cant take it lightly anymore. The mastery of the Power Skill skill Magical Circuit (A+) has reached 100%. The grade of the Power Skill skill Magic Circuit (A+) has risen by one level. The Power Skill skill Magical Circuit (S+) The mastery has reached 100%. The level of the power skill skill Soul Source Magic Sword (S+) has risen by one level. The mastery of the power skill skill Grace of Wind (S-) has reached 100%. The grade of the power skill skill Grace of Wind (S-) has risen by one level. Even The mastery of the power skill skill Ashen Blood (A) has reached 100%. Power skill The grade of Ashen Blood (A) has increased by one level. The mastery of the power skill skill Starlight Starlight (S) has reached 100%. The grade of the power skill skill Starlight Starlight (S) has increased by one level. It will increase. The mastery of the Power Skill skill Slow Target (A) has reached 100%. The grade of the Power Skill skill Slow Target Target (A) will increase by one level.] To Divine < Transcendence > All bound power skills also went up without exception. Its amazing. And when I saw it, I couldnt help butugh and admire it. It was worth it. I never thought that power skills, which had been difficult to raise even the level of proficiency, would grow so quickly. Emotions were high because it was in fact an unexpected gain. My power skills have gotten stronger faster than I thought. There was still no feeling that the power skill was being pushed by divine or mythical powers. However, what if growth is repeated through battles with powerful enemies a few times? If you think like that, you can see that authority skills can reach a levelparable to divine authority or mythical power before long. Thats very certain. Its more than expected. But is there still anything left to gain? The grade of the authority Divine Power (A+) increases to the level of Divine Power (S-). The authority Divine Power (S-) leads the users mind to a transcendent realm. Soon after, the system message absorbed the divine power of the evil god and announced that the level of the divine power had risen. Deed-! [This is] Suddenly, something turbulent inside began to touch the image. no. It cannot be said to distort the image itself. If I had to argue, should I say its like a divine armor that protects the body? Its as if the divinity has some kind of system to protect the mind. And I noticed something about it. [ thats interesting. ] Its nothing else [Now, can divinity also support mental power? ] Divinity puts on the mind an armor with an auxiliary system. *** Contemting the divinity that suddenly formed a mental support system, I continued my thoughts. Maybe it doesnt seem to only provide protection against mental contamination So I immediately contemted the new divine power and figured out its identity in detail. [ Mental protection. And is it a form that supports the power rted to the will? In addition to these, there are useful functions. ] Perhaps the abilities directly or indirectly rted to will or intention have grown greatly. Divine magic, skill, power, myth, etc If I had to put it into detail, there were countless abilities rted to intention. If I had to specte, most of the martial arts would have been able to look at a higher level. Although it was a small changepared to the growth of divine power, it was not bad. I have a lot of power rted to intention, so I can be efficient enough. First of all, all the powers that handle magical powers have grown. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that the basic ability automatically achieved a spec up. Not even that. Among the skills outside the system area that I have, martial arts ounted for a fairlyrge portion. If you learn another martial art in the future, you will be able to be that much stronger. Andter, if you get the power of Magi, it will be strong again Even during the trial this time, exclusive effects rted to Magi were obtained. Im looking forward to the future considering that Ill get a high-level magician management method. Then you will be able to learn how to use power like magic and get divine assistance. If so, at least it was possible to take it as a good sign that the divine power had begun to work on the mind as well. At least in the future, the action of divinity assisting the mind wille greatly. Now, with this, you can finish checking the grade increase of the divine power Within that moment, the divine power reached the S-ss and the effects obtained were clearly summarized. [Is this the only thing left? ] Reading the system message remaining in the corner of my field of vision, my eyes lit up. About the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. And The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Attunement > has beenpleted. The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Attunement > umtes in divine power. From now on, the divine effect of < Spirit Indomitability > will be added to challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation. You can designate an opponent and be equal to the opponent for [4 minutes]. ? A 14-day cooldown is applied immediately after the effect is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomous Control >. It bes possible to deal with it. You can attune formless power with a spirit attack and apply the effect of a spirit attack to that power. ? This effect can be partially used without activating the Transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Iughed out loud after reading all the descriptions of < Spirit Tuning >, the myth of transcending system messages. [At this point, there is no other way to exin that it is beyond amazing and crazy? ] It deserved it. There was no way it would be given the grandiose name of Transcendence Myth. Currently, the effects attached to the transcendental myth < Spirit Tuning > can be ssified into two major categories. With the divine effects < Spirit Unbreakable > and < Autonomy Control >. And it is not an exaggeration to say that the ability of these two is transcendent. That would be the case too < Indomitable Spirit >. Is it possible to designate an opponent and raise all ranks equally? In fact, doesnt this mean that you can fight equally against an ancient deity for 4 minutes? [Its a really insane effect. ] < Spirit Indomitability >, the divinity effect of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, can be used as a hidden move. Even if I encounter an enemy of at least a higher rank, I can offset the difference in rank with this. So far, I have struggled with the difference in rank while dealing with high-ranking enemies. Divinity, soul, magical power, etc Even so, the physical ability itself was not lost, but it is not a very good experience to be defeated by a strong enemy. Ive been pushed all the way by the enemies so far, but from now on, things will change little by little. Even if the gap is filled with various abilities, there will inevitably be a difference. < Indomitable Spirit >. Even if its only 4 minutes, it can be used as a trump card. Emotions were heightened due to the effect that could reduce all gaps with the opponent. However, the divinity effect < Spirit Indomitability > also had a downside. Its nothing else ] If you cant withstand the rise of the level that allows you to be equal to the opponent, the activation will stop. [ theres a possibility that it cant be used against an ancient deity-like being yet. ] Thats why I put aside the expectation of being able to achieve the same number as the ancient deity. It will be possible in the future as time passes, but at least its not the current story. This is especially true for absolute beings like the Tower of Trials. Therefore, it would be correct to think of it as a tool to close the gap with the godhead at the top. For example, it would be like the god of proof. Still, I cant deny that Ive definitely developed great power. In any case, enduring the rise in rank is something that will be solvedter when you grow up. So, no matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing to solve. In response, I immediately confirmed another effect of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Even that was an effect that was not pushed by the divinity effect < Spirit Indomitability >. However, this was not clear from the exnation. To know the effect of the myth as much as possible, it would be better to try it myself. So The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. Specify an opponent for [4 minutes] All types of ranks can be equal to those of the opponent. If the burden umted by the rise in rank cannot be sustained, the power of < Spirit Indomitable > may cease. A divine effect is applied. It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spirit attack you possess. You can tune the formless power with the spirit attack and apply the effect of the spirit attack to that power. Timing to write the tune > yourself. [Is this the meaning of embedding spirituality in formless power? ] And All skills are imbued with spirit by the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > the moment you blow it. [ uh? ] I had no choice but to panic with my face hardened. It was worth it. Because in an instant, the skills reached a level beyond what was thought to be the power of spirit attack. And what that meant I could figure out within seconds. that the power of the skill is imbued with spirit. What this means is simple. Its not different-. [Is the skill now a kind of spirit regardless of its grade ] All of a sudden, all skills were reborn as beings where the Judgment of Spirituality was applied. Thats absurd. And to put it simply, what this means is this. An opponent whocks spirituality will not be able to stop even the lowest level skills I possess. Now, all my skills have greatly increased in strength, regardless of grade. Perhaps an opponentcking in spirit attack wont be able to withstand even the lowest level skills. Thinking like that, of course I couldnt help but be dumbfounded. Actually, at this point, wouldnt I be closer to the strongest challenger in the tower? But the anticipation-filledugh was only short-lived. An error has urred in the system. The current users skills have been disconnected due to an unknown error. The current users skills have been reced with unique abilities, and this can be resolved by canceling the spiritual attack. Its nothing else Challenger Han Seong-yoons skills are no longer dependent on the system. It was because a system message suddenly popped up and informed him of a certain fact. The phrase that all the skills I currently have have escaped from the domination of the system and have be unique abilities. As soon as I saw it, I couldnt help but open my eyes wide. That would be the case [This is] The fact that all skills were disconnected from the towers system [Could it be that I can use the power of the tower as my own ability? ] In short, it means that you can steal the towers power. Chapter 295 295. Myth of Transcendence (4) An error has urred in the system. The current users skills have been disconnected due to an unknown error. The current users skills have been reced with unique abilities, which are It can be solved by canceling. The system caused an error. Not a very surprising phrase so far. After all, the system is anotherw subordinate to the tower. Thats why I thought that some kind of situation could cause a brief error. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skills are no longer dependent on the system. However, this was not the case. All the skills Ive umted so far are no longer subject to the system? It was worth it. Being able to temporarily move all skills out of the systems domain with the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > In a word, it means that the power gained from the tower can be stolen. This is a phenomenon that has never been seen before. The tower is something even the ancient deities cant properly touch. And it is a phenomenon that cannot exist. Can you use the power within the concept of the tower system as your unique ability? This should not be the case considering the status of the transcendental structure called the tower. Even the evil spirit paid the price for something to the tower and made the main body appear here. That is why even the higher deity, the evil god, paid the price in this way. Due to numerous divine powers and thew of cause and effect, the tower lost arge part of its autonomous authority. Only to be allowed to act by the existence of the tower. So I could see how crazy it was to rece the powers of concepts such as skills subordinate to the tower system with unique abilities. It cannot be seen as a power that will be granted to me, a mere higher deity. The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > definitely surpasses the power ofmon sense that gods possess. This meant only one thing. [ . ] Through the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning >, I gained a means to escape from the towers realm. Even at a level that even ancient deities cannot easily have. So, as soon as I understood that fact, I kept my mouth shut and sharpened my nerves. Even if the tower favors me, the challenger, no matter how far it goes, theres no way Ill let go of the power thats poisonous to me. If the tower is looking at this ce, theres no choice but to intervene! After that, I wondered how many minutes it would take, assuming the tower would interfere. [ This is a bit unexpected. ] I dont know why, but the tower didnt reveal its will to interfere with me at all. Its as if it doesnt matter even if you have the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Still, I thought I would be subject to some degree of sanctions, but there are no restrictions even if I have the power to poison the top. Could it be that the tower doesnt touch even the power that is poisonous to it? I couldnt be sure. But at least for now, it was clear that the Tower had no will to intervene. Therefore, it can be said that there is no special sanctions imposed on the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. I dont know why, but its good that the tower doesnt intervene. The value of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is very high. Perhaps its iparable to the few myths that dont have much to write about. Therefore, he was relieved that the tower did not use his hands directly. With this, it should be clear that at least he condoned the existence of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Then at least for now I dont have to worry about this anymore. It was only then that I lowered my tension and let out a deep sigh, then suddenly realized a certain fact. [ ah. ] Its nothing else [Come to think of it, why doesnt the ordeal clear messagee to mind? ] Despite the passage of time, the ordeal was not cleared. Time had passed, even roughly checking the rewards obtained so far But the fact that the ordeal had not been cleared meant that the conditions for breaking through the ordeal had not yet been met. And I immediately touched my chin and connected my thoughts to him. The breakthrough condition for the ordeal was to prevent the destruction of the world by the godhead. Entering the ordeal, recalling this system message. then the ordeal should have been cleared at the point of killing the evil spirit. But no matter where I looked, there was no reason why the ordeal wouldnt be cleared [ There was still a reason why it wasnt cleared. ] Suddenly, while thinking about the conditions for breaking through the ordeal, I had to realize a certain fact. It was worth it. The conditions for breaking through the special contract ordeal < Hope of the Depth: Iron-Blooded Lord > are set. It also means preventing the destruction of the world by Godhead. But the ordeal does not end even after killing the evil spirit? Then there was only one answer. [There are still demonic apostles all over the world that are interfering with the clearing. ] It deserved it. Currently, there must be official apostles all over the world. It probably wont go beyond the level of a 4th grade official apostle, but it was undeniable that the possibility of world destruction still remained. The ordeal will not be cleared until all of them are resolved. [Annoyingly] I was able to notice why the trial period was given for one year each. Even if he catches the evil spirit, he has to deal with the apostles who follow him. Thats why the special contract ordeal was given ample time. But boring tag is not my taste. [I need to finish cleaning up as quickly as possible. ] At that, I calmed my eyes coldly and muttered that. Perhaps, if the level of the servants who serve the remaining evil spirits is up to 4th grade apostles, the cleanup will not be dyed. If you take roughly a week, you should be able to deal with all the remnants of the evil spirits. Its a tedious process, but it doesnt take long. So there was no ce to be very annoyed. Its just [Still, I have to do what I have to do before that. ] There was something to find out by using the cleanup time as much as possible. Absorbed the spirit of the evil god Pirjul von Leia Ikelium and satisfied special conditions. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < malice > < evil > < purity > < covenant > < impulse > < false >. . [Even if you dont, I wanted to check the newly acquired divine power, but thats good. ] It is to find out the divine power that will be acquired from now on. *** Canary Rugfeld watched the situation while riding the ck Dragon. Isnt this a bad thing She ran a hand through her long silver hair and looked over. An unknown storm still raging with higher powers. Its been quite a while since Han Seong-yoon went there, but he hasnt returned. It was like an ominous omen for the canary. He would too What the hell happened there Canary was also a skilled sword master. I was able to notice that a powerful enemy had suddenly appeared from beyond the magical storm. A level that cannot even be measured. But after that, she could no longer make out the situation beyond the storm. It is because the feeling itself that leads to that ce has been cut off after the appearance of a certain gigantic evil. I dont know anything now And it was no different for the ck dragon beneath her. [I have no choice but to know. Human. Could you feel that too? The energy of the evil being that appeared over there ] . [Yes, it could be said that it was like a god. But for a subject with god-like spirit, he was absolutely evil. ] I did. Only then canary was able to face the current situation. Perhaps an evil spirit has appeared. It was something I didnt even want to think about. I never thought that an evil spirit invading the world would appear here. However, the fact that someone with transcendental power like Han Seong-yoon did not return suggested a possibility. [It seems that the monster-like owner has be a face to face with the evil. ] As the ck dragon said, there was a strong possibility that Han Seong-yoon was dealing with an evil god. [ I cant understand it. He doesnt seem like someone with a sense of justice. Why are you so resistant to evil spirits? ] He said as if he didnt understandmon sense. [At least he himself will be able to escape from the destruction of the world] Even the ck dragon knows to some extent. If Han Seong-yoon came from the tower, there was no reason to seek this ce. Perhaps such a challenger from outer space will be enough once he returns to the tower. Still, I couldnt understand why he was putting so much effort into protecting the world. [Why would you risk your own life to save the world? ] . [And I dont understand why the owner likes you so much. ] Thats Canary muttered with her eyes stilling. I dont know. me too. Why are you obsessed with something like me? I dont know anything. She had no choice but to know now. At least Han Seong-yoon is a strong man who can easily subdue the dragon. Although she was a princess, she had no reason to serve an overwhelmingly strong man like Han Seong-yoon. It was all the more so because even inheriting the throne was unconfirmed. It was also strange that he wanted very little from her. I dont know anything about him. Perhaps the only thing you know about Han Seong-yoon is his skills. He said they had a rtionship with each other before, but in her memory, there was no such thing. In short, there was a high probability that Han Seong-yoons rtionship with each other was false. So, in fact, we must assume that we know nothing about Han Seong-yoon. but. But at least one thing could be said with certainty. Still, Han Seong-yoon trusted me At least Han Sung-yoon believed in the individual named Canary. Wouldnt it be right, then, to trust her, no matter what his purpose was? Even considering what Han Seong-yoon has done for her, its not even worth thinking about. I dont know if its female love or loyalty [] If youve been trusted, shouldnt you trust him as the duty of a ruler? [ thats a very close rtionship. Its embarrassing now. Someone has now changed their name to something that has no repercussions like Yongyong. ] And that was when the ck dragon grunted andined. Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Suddenly, the sky, which had turned gray, was colored with the color of sunset, and the divinity began to stir. The moment when brilliant golden energy colored the sky as if sweeping away defeated soldiers. Canary opened her eyes wide and pursed her lips. I cant believe this Its nothing else Han Seong-yoon? For some reason, her senses caught the familiar divine power. But there was no time to be so nk. That would be the case too The rotten dragon is over there!! Someone had shouted that on the barrennd that had cracked before I knew it. Even where someones words resonated, the poption was high. Canary opened her eyes wide at the number that seemed to be in the hundreds. And at the same time, the followers of the evil spirits were shouting madly and revealing their power. Damn the ungodly people who dont even deserve to live in this world! Dont be afraid! Let the 4th grade apostle be with us! Go forward! Oh oh oh oh! Apostle blessed by God! Please guide us! Even [Kahaha-! It is to wipe out the ugly unbelievers! Dont be afraid and take on the sweep!! ] The leading man who led countless followers possessed the power of a dragon. 4th grade formal apostle. In a word, it meant that he was a strong man recognized by the evil spirits. And seeing that, Canarys face hardened rapidly. The servants who serve evil spirits Even [Huh. Are there still remnants left? No, I have no choice but to stay. I never thought it would appear at such a timing] Even the ck dragon was startled and had to frown at the situation. [Its a big deal. ] It deserved it. [The situation changes when they reach the owner. ] Currently, Han Seong-yoon is in the center of the decisive battle hidden by the curtain of power. However, what would happen if hundreds of believers went there? I am not too optimistic about this. Even that would have been even more so if each individual was at the level of being a preliminary apostle. Even Canary didnt know that, so she said with her red eyes subdued. Even if we die here, we must stop them. and. So Han Seong-yoon will be able to win against the evil spirit. Soon, the moment when Canary took out the sword from the scabbard, prepared for death. Kii-i-i-i-! Suddenly, from the edge of the sky, a ck sh shed like a lightning bolt. The power skill Starlight is activated, creating a starlight containing divinity < Death >. Even Divinity < Death > is used. It is also inhabited by the divinity < Evil Eating > that eats up all divinities. [Kuhahahahahaha! You evil spirit! How did youe so soon! ] Next, the man of the 4th grade apostle who saw the divinity < Evil Eating > dwelling in the ck sh spat out a mad light. [ Believers-! ] Then, the 4th-ss male apostle who worships evil spirits screamed madly. [There is nothing to be afraid of! ] Its nothing else [Thats the Divine < Evil Eating > and the power of the Great Evil God! ] He was convinced that the ck sh that had been fired before he knew it was the power of an evil spirit. [This is the power fired to deal with the cheeky lizard in the sky!! ] However. [So, its enough for you to watch the punishment of the evil god without fear] Before the apostles words could reach the end, someones words rang out. [Why is this the power of evil spirits? ] Even that is a voice that has reached the level of godhood. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to the desired point within sight. thats it ] Nothing else [ huh? ] The high-ranking deity that scattered brilliant golden light appeared in front of the apostles eyes before he knew it. The god of transcendence looks at the defeated soldiers and smiles. Exactly ] It was Han Seong-yoon. [So can you guys show me? ] And [What is the true value of the divine < Evil Food >? ] next moment. [What] Just like that, waves of astonishment flooded the apostles face everywhere, and ck starlight burst out. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Even in the worst form of divine < death > and divine < evil food > mixed together. Chapter 296 296. Transcendence Myth (5) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa In an instant, the holy light imbued with the divinity < Death > destroyed everything. The ck starlight that finally split the clouds and reached the earth reached the point where it split the earth apart. At this point, the momentum of the ck starlight could split the world. But this was, at best, just the beginning. The true value of ck starlight is different. Right away Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Poetry heart!! I think my heart will break!! Keuk keuh keuh uh uhh! Save me! Kuk! God. My God. Please take care of us Aaah-!! genocide. The holy light imbued with the divine < Death > can kill enemies in one shot. Even if they are believers who have reached the stage of preliminary apostles, it is no different. In the blink of an eye, most of the hundreds of believers died simultaneously. In fact, wouldnt this have ended many of the remnants serving the evil spirits? But I wasnt very happy right away. Originally, this would have ended, but this time the situation is a little different. Thats also the case Divine < Evil Eating > is used. Challenger Han Seong-yoons next attack has the power to eat away the divine. Currently, I have activated the divine < Evil Eating > obtained from the evil god in advance. . Thats why I didnt want to see all the enemies dying helplessly in the divine < death >. There were still things that those with some level of skill had to do with their lives. At least until you can see the results you want. I narrowed my eyes at him. With this, Ill be able to find out how far the divine < Evil Eating > can go. The servants serving the evil spirits in front of me were each strong in their own way. Even the male presumed to be a 4th-ss apostle who stood at the head of the followers was quite high. At least its a level where divinity is carried in the voice, so its on the same level as the ck dragon. In fact, the guesses that followed in the blink of an eye led to the correct answer. The emotions of the 4th-level formal apostle Rikios are stained with extreme anger! This is! this is! It is the power of the evil god! It means that a deity who has fallen into an affair is not the power to use! ] The apostle introduced as Rikios in the system message gave off his divinity as if in a fit of fuss. [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] Its nothing else The holy power of the 4th-level formal apostle Rikios is consumed, and the power exclusive to the apostle is activated. A gray liquid-like aura was welling up from Rikios palm before he knew it. The outer divinity is rejected by the right of all evil, the authority exclusive to the apostles. Even that is in the form of pushing out the outer divinity. Kagagakgagak! In an instant, the ck starlight imbued with the divinity < Evil Eating > collided with the gray curtain. The appearance of a noise like scratching an iron te. Only then did Rykios hold out his hands and giggle andugh ugly. Before he knew it, his face was convinced that he had blocked the holy light. [Ha ha ha ha ha! look look!! O God who is stained with infidelity! Someone like you can easily stop it. ] As the proverb says, That herb and that rice Is Rikios right in front of you also the apostle with that divine power? At most, it had only been a few seconds since the power of the divine < Evil Eating > had been blocked, and confidence had already risen. A proud expression, as if he had perfectly defended the holy light that the divine < Evil Eater > dwelled in. But before he could say anything back, something happened. Wow-. [ ah? ] There was a crack in the gray curtain made of apostle-only powers. [Why is this happening like thisC. ] A-!! The moment the gray curtain lost its shape and shattered like ss upon impact. In an instant, the ck starlight that ate up the broken pieces of the gray curtain crushed Lychios. So much so that even its shape is unrecognizable. The divine starlight that overflowed in the blink of an eye devoured countless followers as they were. And Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Absorbed the spirit of the 4th-ss full apostle Rikios. Absorbed the spirit of the preliminary apostle Siglpium Absorbed the spirit of the preliminary apostle Yozolundeul The moment the marks of the dead spirit flowed all over the body as if to block the view. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the majority, bringing her 1.97% closer to the second ascension. [ Hmm. ] Only then did I nod and smile as if I was satisfied. [I think I know roughly. ] It deserved it. [Is this the power of the divine < Evil Eating >? ] This time, a meaningful result was obtained against a 4th-level apostle. [I was able to overwhelm a 4th grade apostle even though I lowered the output of the holy light a lot] Here, the output of the holy light emitted to the defeated soldiers of the evil spirit was adjusted. It has to be. From amon sense point of view, if you use the maximum power of the light, you cant confirm the power of the divine < Evil Eating >, right? Perhaps if it was the starlight at full power, they wouldnt havested even a second. Even if it was Rykios, a 4th-ss official apostle, he would have died without even uttering a scream. However, there was something he gained thanks to shooting the light with the lowest possible output. [I think the divinity < Evil Eating > can be regarded as a natural enemy against the divinity. ] A natural enemy-like ability that devours all divinities. Thats why it was on the level of an instant kill for those who had no means ofbat other than divinity. Because the divinity < Evil Eating > can consume all types of divinities and use them as its own power. But that doesnt mean its not without its downsides. Divinity < Evil Eater > takes time to consume the opponents divinity. For now, the drawback that can be immediately identified is the application time of Divine Predation. It takes at least a few seconds to pierce the power of the divine It will probably give you a chance to respond against an enemy who can elerate the sense of time itself. And even that was not enough, there was an invisible cooldown in the divine < Akshik >. To put it roughly, there is a cooldown unique to divine powers of about 4 hours. If so, this wasnt an ability that could be used for normal strikes. It must be a hidden move that should only be applied at a level like a one-hit kill. But nheless, I liked it. That would be the case too [Still, if you have this, you can drive a divinity that is heavily dependent on divinity into a corner. ] In fact, this is to remove the opponents holy ability, even for a moment. [I got something good. ] Of course, there are many disadvantages, but there are many means to cover them. How to use the divine < evil food > can only be expected. The enemies youll seeter will be getting higher and higher. And Time ends. The divine power Apotheosis is deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours. The moment when the power of Apotheosis is released and the Divinity is further softened. thud. Suddenly, a clear tone resonated from the sky and a beautynded on the ground. Her silver hair, her red eyes, her uniform that clings to her body, and so on Many of her features caught my eye at once, and I immediately knew who she was. Han Seong-yoon! Canary Rugfeld. The imperial princess, who wouldter be called the iron-blooded monarch, quickly approached. She looked at me with worried eyes, her red eyes wiggling around. My dear! Even Are you okay? Are there any serious injuries? If thats the case, you have to get out of here right away Its enough to say that its a fuss. [ tsk tsk. What do you mean there is something to worry about? Even if you get hit by a meteorite, the owner will be fine. ] In fact, the ck dragon thatndedte also clicked his tongue and said so. [I dont even think Ive lost the battle] And then the ck dragon continued talking as if it were interesting. [If thats the case, its useless to worry about the monstrous owner. ] In the ck dragons eyes, an emotion like awe was revealed. Now the ck dragon seemed to have realized the truth to some extent. That I had won against the evil spirits at the center of the final battle. Even Canary seemed embarrassed to know. Its noisy thats about it, I know. But theres such a thing as a just in case He must have realized now that he couldnt have been hurt bymon sense. But if there are any wounds you dont know about she continued as if to hide her embarrassment. However, there was no need to pretend to be sick, as there were no injuries anyway. I immediately shook my head and quickly dismissed Canarys concerns. no. There are no serious injuries. Thank you for your concern. Really? yes. If thats the case, its fortunate The ck dragon snorted as the canary blurted out her words as if she were embarrassed. [Look at that. ] . [You said it was useless worry. I know we get along well with each other. But how about being self-respecting to some extent? ] I was just preparing for the contingency He tried to pretend to be calm as if it was nothing. But when I saw that her earlobes were stained red, I smiled. I thought that the Iron Blood Lords past might have been surprisingly emotional. At this point, I want to tease the canary from this side. But this leisurely time should end with this. Its good to talk like this, but I cant say Ive wonpletely yet. It was worth it. Because the remnants of the evil spirits will still remain around the world. There must still be work left to do in order to satisfy the clear conditions of the ordeal. And only then canary and ck dragon seriously listened to the story. You must have noticed that there are people like that all over the world, just as those who served evil spirits remained in the half-copsed sacred realm < Demon Ball >. Well, even if there were no evil spirits, there would still be remnants of it. I dont know what else will happen if theyre alive. [I dont think its going to have a very good effect, at least considering all these misceneous things that just died. Perhaps the owner wants to talk about that. ] Yes. That those who worshiped evil spirits are alive. That is never a good thing. So wasting time isnt such a good choice. Now it is time to satisfy the clear conditions of the special contract ordeal. Anyway, if you say that the followers who received the power of the godhead, they would only be of a great level. At most, how many official apostles were left? So, I had no intention of procrastinating. Anyway, this kind of troublesome tag-and-seek isnt my taste, and it wont be of much benefit. If so, it was the intention to quickly wipe out the possibility of destruction left in the world. So lets go clean up the remnants of the evil spirits left in the world. That too is very certain. *** Time passed quickly. To clean up the remnants of evil spirits around the world. It didnt take much time. It took a short time of three days, faster than I thought. I thought it would take a week, but things worked out. That should be the case too By the divinity < Ikalium >, I have achieved synchronization with the world itself. Qualification to protect the world. It was because he synchronized with the world with the divinity < Ikalium > obtained at the end of collecting them. Ive felt it before in my battle with the evil god, but sympathizing with the world was of great value in itself. The level of divinity is great, but the authority of the world is a power that cannot be underestimated. It was worth it. With the aid of the divinity < Ikalium >, it became easier to search because I was attuned to the world itself. Once attuned to the world, most of what happened on thisnd was easily perceptible, even with very little attention. Its like putting the world in the palm of your hand and contemting it. In an instant, I found out where the people who served the evil spirits were, moved there, and cleaned up after three days. And The achievement Clean up the leftovers has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 7. The moment when all the remnants of the evil spirit were erased after burning down an unknown meadow. Is this the end of everything System messages appeared before her eyes, announcing the end of the special contract ordeal. Special Contract Ordeal < Wish of the Depths: Iron Blood Lord > has been cleared. Compensation is calcted ording to the details of clearing the Special Contract Trial Appraisal beyond trust for the Iron Blood Lord of the Special Contract Ordeal has been confirmed. The reward for clearing the special contract ordeal is set at the highest level, and additional rewards are paid. But is it because the reward itself at the end of the ordeal was undecided? The system message did not appear after the phrase that thepensation for the ordeal was settled. After carefully reading the system messages, I smiled lightly and my eyes lit up. It was rewarding to build a rtionship with Canary whenever I had time. At this point, I was looking forward to what I would receive after the ordealpensation was calcted. Perhaps you will get a great reward for defeating an evil god that is ssified as a high-ranking deity. Tower of Trials has never broken the high-risk-high-return rule, so something more toe than expected. Even the dragon has been tamed, so its even more so. Of course, the ck dragon isnt there anymore now the ck dragon has been released, but the level ofpensation will still go up. maybe. Even if there is no ck dragon nearby, achievements rted to this will be applied to the reward. At least considering the work he had done so far, there was no way the reward would be set low. And that was when I was smiling at him. In the end, this bloody war hase to an end Before I knew it, Canary called out, putting the blood-stained knife back into its scabbard. It took a really long time. She continued as she looked at the meadow, where only ashes were left. Many kingdoms were destroyed by fanatics, and the empire had to go through endless battles. The tone is tinged with emotions, as if thinking about the past. Until you show up. Canary said with her red eyes shining. Everything that has not been resolved so far has been resolved at once with your appearance. Its an overstatement. Whoops. Youre saying something out of your mind. You probably know that you did it anyway, right? Knowing that it was not actually wrong, I kept my mouth shut. Anyway, even if I said no now, it would not be humility but meaningless denial. Id rather keep my mouth shut and listen to what she had to say. Because of you, I could havee this far. The canarys silver hair swayed in the fair wind, and a refreshing tone continued. A letter came from the Empire. Correspondence? Yes correspondence. The letter announcing that the next emperor has been appointed. And you know who will inherit the throne, needless to say. Didnt you tell me then? Suddenly, the corner of her mouth was tinged with a bright smile. You said you would definitely make me emperor. And So, I really wanted to tell you this. next moment. Han Seong-yoon. Canary said in a tone filled with expectations, her red eyes shining. Wouldnt you like to go back to the empire together? Her face was reddish, perhaps because of the sunset light. Even if he bes emperorter, he will have to go through many hurdles. Can you stay by my side until then? I want to be with you. I want to know more and more about each other. Thats Dont you like it? And at her question, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut. I know. Its fake. That this is an illusion that will copse in an instant anyway. The canary in front of her was a different person from the Tower Manager, the Iron Blood Lord. Perhaps the growth process itself would be greatly different, and in fact, unlike the iron-blooded monarch, the emotional expression was diverse and the authoritative tone was not very deep yet. And most importantly, she is just an illusion. After the special contract ordeal is over, I wont be able to see your face anymore. But then why do I keep getting so concerned? Thats why I was frustrated without knowing why. I didnt like the rtionship I had built up until now with her and the whole world disappearing. However, despite denying it, nothing has changed in this ce. At least until we reached the top of the tower. Not even that. Will something change when I reach the final floor? Even if it is a godhead, it cannot change the world that has already reached its end. But even if you reach the end of the tower, will something change? Can a managers secret wish really be a reality? I couldnt know anything but I couldnt put off the answer any longer. I Then I told Canary the answer I had decided on. In an instant, her face visibly brightened and emotions of joy surged. But thats whats allowed. Suddenly, the world is distorted and dyed ck. It is as if the world itself has lost time and color. ah. Its nothing else Complete calction ofpensation. Reward is given ording to the Iron-Blooded Lords emotional state. As a reward for breaking through the special contract ordeal, Tome of Divine Replica (EX) is sent to your inventory. It will be done. As an additional breakthrough reward for the special contract ordeal, the Skill Proficiency Up Potion (SSS+) will be sent to your inventory . Chapter 297 297. Special Hierarchy (1) Complete calction ofpensation. Reward is given ording to the emotional state of the iron-blooded monarch. As a reward for breaking through the special contract ordeal, Tome of Divine Replica (EX) is sent to the inventory. It will be done. As an additional breakthrough reward for the special contract ordeal, Skill Proficiency Up Potion (SSS+) will be sent to your inventory.] I couldnt help but open my eyes wide as I saw the system messages popping up in front of me. This is It was just like that. This is because the rewards obtained afterpleting the ordeal exceed expectations. Even at a rough estimate, it is enough topete for the top level among the rewards obtained while climbing the tower. Even the item called Divine Replica Book (EX) was showing a grade beyond the SSS+ level that I had never seen before and didnt even know existed. It was easy to figure out what that meant. Its like getting one of the best rewards you can get from the Tower of Trials. With this, I got an item of the grade that I will get at the end of the tower. There is still a long way to go, but Still, acquiring the highest-grade item as a reward for the first time meant a lot. At least you can guess what you can get at the end of the tower through the Book of Divine Replica (EX). Not even that. Is the skill proficiency up potion also SSS+ level A skill proficiency up potion. An item that can increase proficiency by designating a skill. Even this item, which was only received as an additional reward, has been given a phenomenal grade of SSS+. Because it was a skill proficiency raising potion of a level that had not been allowed to be seen, my heart was filled with anticipation in an instant. But that was only for a moment. I tried to suppress my emotions while keeping my mouth shut. It was still too early to be excited about the reward obtained after crossing the wall. That would be the case I have work to do. Even if the ordeal is over, there is still work to be done. The rtionship with the iron-blooded lord that has been built up until now is not over. And what to do has already been decided. At the very least, Ill have to check whether or not the iron-blooded lords wish came true with this. It was worth it. Currently, I have fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the iron-blooded lord. But even so, I dont know if this is really the ending the iron-blooded lord wanted. So, to some extent, I wanted to check her reaction. At best, it was only a fake, and it was a daydream that mighte true if she reached the final floor of the tower, but she wanted to know if her wish hade true. At least until then, I wont be able to be genuinely happy. As if the heart is squeezed tightly, the soaring emotions subside calmly and the mind regains tranquility. and then. You have entered the world of Iron Blood. Soon after, the pitch-ck world changed to the inside of a cabin. Are you finally here A weak, thin, trembling voice came to my ears. Ive been waiting for you all this time. Its nothing else Han Seong-yoon. The iron-blooded lord was sitting in his seat with a calm expression in his eyes. *** The passage of time passed slowly, enveloped in silence. How many minutes had passed since I returned from the ordeal of my secret wish? Before I knew it, I sat down facing the iron-blooded lord. After sitting there for a while, the iron-blooded lord revealed his ckened eyes and said, Ive seen your performance so far. She spoke in the quietest possible tone. Not only did it prevent the end of the world, but it also killed the evil spirit and wiped out all its remnants. a feat that no one else could have achieved. Sungyoon Han. You have aplished your wish splendidly. A situation where words like praise follow. However, he couldnt help but know that there was a feeling of emptiness beyond that. Then, I looked at her with my mouth closed, and then the iron-blooded lord smiled bitterly and said. To be honest, I think it was an undeserved ending for me. Is that so. Dont even do that. I protected the world, and it wasnt enough, so I inherited the throne, and I didnt even get a great entourage called you. It was. But thats why I couldnt erase the feeling of loss. The Iron Blood Lord slowly closed his eyes and continued. If I hadnt met you this way and what if that was real, not fake. The disappointment in her voice was not that light. Know. Its just a dream that wonte true anyway. Still, I couldnt help but dream. Perhaps the iron-blooded lord wanted the events in the secret garden to be real. However, the world reproduced by the tower is fake and only an illusion, even if one earnestly desires it. So, no matter how many times she repeated the what if assumption, she couldnt get what she wanted. Even though its cruel, this is the reality. And the iron-blooded lord knew this for sure. But now the time for dreaming is over she said with a small smile. Now, as an administrator, you must have noticed that you cant do anything because youve achieved your secret wish by activating your authority only once. But that doesnt mean theres no way out at all. Even if the reality was cruel, it could not be overturned. Before I knew it, I opened my mouth with my eyes submerged below the surface of the water. It may not be over yet. Baekhak Geomseon had told me before. If you reach the end of the tower, the administrators secret wish may work as a modification of the past. If so, you can see that the iron blooded lords wish has note to an end. If at least I, the challenger who signed a contract with her, arrives at the top of the tower, the story will be different. And in apletely different form than before. Maybe there is a way that will not end at this level Are you talking about reaching the end of the tower and recing what happened in the Secret Garden with the truth? Thats right. No one knows if that will be possible. Its funny that I, a quasi-god at best, say it My dear. No one has seen the end of the tower. The iron-blooded lord continued with ck dead eyes. Why the tower appeared, why its purpose led to the death of the godhead, and whaty at its end no one could know. I guess so. There were some who were former challengers who became deities, and there must be some deities who were challengers who are still alive and assisting the tower. I know that too. I had seen the deity from a challenger once before. Lightsaber Emperor. The challenger who once climbed the tower, as seen in the trials on the 17th floor, and the divinity now subordinate to the tower. I still havent forgotten all of his words and actions. I still havent forgotten what the lightsaber handed over. That would be the case too As time passes, Ill have to go find the legacy left by the lightsaber. Because I have a n to go to Moorims world to pick up the treasures of the lightsaber festival in the future. And thats why I knew what the Iron Blood Lord meant to me. Even the deities from challengers like the light sword emperor couldnt see the end of the tower in the end. For those who wish to see the end of the tower, it may sound like a thunderp. Even if even people like the Lightsaber didnt see the end of the tower, the possibility of seeing the end itself would not fade. But even so, it was too early to despair. But its not at all impossible to reach the final floor of the tower, is it? It was worth it. If I had ruled out the possibility and fought with limits set up until now, I wouldnt have been able toe this far. It is not an unfounded conviction that only I will be different. Even if it is close to impossible, if there is even the slightest possibility, seeing the end of the tower cannot be dismissed as an absurd story at all. I admit it. And the iron-blooded lord did not deny that. You certainly have the potential to see the end. However, her expression only shook slightly, and nothing changed that much. But in other words, thats all. You are not qualified to see the end of the tower yet. Your power has now reached an area I cannot fathom. But you are still only a challenger climbing the early 20th floor. Its too early to discuss the end of the tower here. I will not deny it. As the iron-blooded lord said, I couldnt mention the final floor of the tower yet. But its hard to deny the possibility that you can see the end of the tower. So, what I could do here was not certain. So, its not something to dismiss as a daydream and end it. It should be enough to let the Iron Blood Lord know that there is still hope. In fact, the iron blooded lord smiled bitterly with his eyes wide open when he heard those words. As if he had received an unexpectedfort. Indeed you always give me hope without end. As it was, the iron-blooded lord smiled softly and continued. When I see you like that, I cant help but dream even if I know that its just a fleeting hope And. Then dont wait here. Her red jewel-like eyes slowly shone brightly, and joy filled the corners of her mouth. Until the dayes when you reach the top of the tower, I will remain here and observe your journey. Even a smile full of joy that I have never seen before. Because that is thest hope given to me. *** Time passed neither fast nor slow. I have entered the waiting room on the 22nd floor. Before I knew it, I was able to get out of the managers realm and return to the waiting room. This is the end of the iron-blooded lords longing. The iron-blooded lords long-cherished wish has now been fulfilled. I couldnt help but feel that my feelings were renewed. It was worth it. I never imagined that I would now fulfill what I had promised in the past when I was climbing the tower and did not know anything about divinity. A challenger who didnt know anything at the time was looking at the realm beyond . Even more so when you consider that he has now stepped into the realm of a higher godhead. Well, despite that, its absurd that theres still a long way to go. As expected, climbing the tower is fun. Even if you have stepped into the world of higher gods, the realm of ancient gods is still far away. So, I was inevitably curious. At most, how far could I, who was chosen by the Tower as a challenger of the minor dimension, go in the world that the gods look at? After thinking for a while, I shook my head. But at least Im not going to think about the ancient deities for now. I didnt have enough time to see the world of the ancient gods yet. At best, it was as if he had just entered the world of a higher deity Considering the future toe, he had to refrain from looking far away. At least until I reach the 27th floor, I guess. 27th floor. The future seen in < The Field of Proof > was not so far away. Not enough to kill the managers who have built up trust so far with this hand, but the case of bing a broken machine that only pursues an infinitely high ce. It didnt feel that far away to me, who would now be on the 22nd floor. I really dont have much time left While obtaining the < Spirit Tuning > of the transcendence myth, he gained room to interfere with the top. But this was just not enough. At the very least, like the < Spirit Tuning > of the transcendence myth, he should acquire the ability to interfere with the power of the tower again. Only then will we be able to twist the future that will take ce on the 27th floor. Not even that. And before the 27th floor, I have to clear the white crane inspection, so theres a lot of work to do. The time to fulfill the white crane inspections longing was approaching. I think we should meet Baekhak Geomseon after clearing the next floor. Perhaps after achieving the secret wish of the White Crane Swordsman, wouldnt it be equipped with the power to interfere with the tower? This time, I had a strong thought because I had grown greatly while fulfilling the iron-blooded lords secret wish. It is assumed that the secret wish of the white crane inspection, which will be experienced in the future, will be simr. But it was only for a moment that I thought so. Anyway, this is something I can think about after breaking through the next ordeal. It was not so good to spend so much time on the secret wish of the White Crane Swordsman, which was to be heldter. Wouldnt it change something just by thinking about her secret wish? If so, the priority is to take time to check the rewards and check the equipment in preparation for the next ordeal. Come to think of it, I havent seen the item I received as a reward from the tower yet. And Inventory. The moment when I checked one of the rewards obtained after finishing the iron-blooded lords secret wish. Ancient Book of Divinity Replica Grade: EX An ancient book containing a very small amount of Reappearance, one of the powers of the Tower of Trials. It is possible. However, after copying and acquiring one of the divinities, the item itself disappears and disappears. . I had no choice but to hold my breath while holding the old old book. What the hell is this He would be like that too What is this again To make the assumption that this is really an old book that can replicate divinity. is this really the reward given by the tower? isnt this an item that can even replicate the divinity of an ancient deity? Chapter 298 298. Special ss (2) Ancient Book of Divinity Replica Grade: EX An ancient book containing a very small amount of Reappearance, one of the powers of the Tower of Trials. It is possible to reproduce and acquire branches at will. However, after acquiring one of the divinities by duplicating them, the item itself will disappear. Tome of Divine Replication. I couldnt take my eyes off the description of the reward obtained by clearing the secret wish of the manager Iron-Blooded Lord. It was worth it. Its not enough to include some of the powers of the Tower of Trials, and to be able to select and acquire one of the divinities Ive seen so far Its to the point where I doubt if this is the reward given by the real Tower. . However, an old book covered in old leather is not a fake. Perhaps, as it is, if I want, I can even copy and acquire even the divinity of an ancient deity. Thats why I had no choice but to look down at the old book of divine replication for a while with my mouth shut. What the hell is this Even though its a reward given by the Tower of Trials, isnt this an item that copses the bnce? I couldnt understand. At best, it was not an item that could be obtained on the early 20th floor of the tower. Even more so if the power of Reappearance was embedded in the powers of the Tower of Trials. Is this one of the highest level rewards in the tower And I stood still for a few minutes beforeughing. Its amazing. Now its your turn to be surprised at the level ofpensation that makes your head dizzy. Anyway, even if Im in shock like this, nothing will change. Quickly calming the throbbing in my heart, I looked at the old book of divine replication with twinkling eyes. Perhaps this Book of Divinity Replication (EX) has the power of the tower, even though it is a very small amount of the tower, so you can copy all the divinities as you wish. At most, even if its a one-time item, it doesnt mean that the merit of being able to duplicate the divinity disappears. But that doesnt mean its not without its downsides. Its still a waste to use it for divine replication It was worth it. In any case, the tome of divine duplication goes through the process of randomly selecting one of the divinities. And the meaning of this process had certain limitations. Right away I dont even know what the divinity of an ancient deity is, but if I use it right away, it wont be highly efficient. It is that we need some information about divinity. It was worth it. Even if I write an old book of divine duplication, I cannot duplicate a divinity I do not know. There was not only one divinity for each deity, and among them, there were cases where the other divinity was better than the divinity of the concept realm. If thats the case, you cant just use such a valuable hand. I should at least write it when I know about the divinity of the ancient deities. Not even that. If the tower has a divinity, maybe There were still many things I had to see with my own two eyes. However, I couldnt hastily use a valuable opportunity that could only be used once. So, I shook my head, dismissed the thought, and confirmed another reward. Its not even something to think about right now. No matter how much I think about it, the answer wonte out any more. And then I opened my inventory and held a potion with a gray glow in my hand. A form as if it contained the gray color as it is. And Skill proficiency increase potion Rating: SSS+ The best potion among the items that the tower has produced for beings with skills. When taken, increases mastery of one of the possessed skills by 215%. I can do it. The moment I read all the descriptions of the skill proficiency increase potion. I had no choice but to stiffen my body, forgetting to breathe. *** Skill Mastery Up Potion (SSS+). The highest-grade item among the skill proficiency increase potions Ive ever seen. This, like the Tome of Divine Reproduction, is more like an unusual, transcendental reward. What You can arbitrarily increase skill proficiency by 215%? None of the skill proficiency potions he had seen so far were at such an unprecedented level. Perhaps, ording to the rank-up logic of the system, the value of this Skill Proficiency Up Potion (SSS+) is like this. I can raise the rank of a skill twice at once? Even if you rank up your skills twice, you will get a considerable level of proficiency of 15%. Does this mean that you can actually raise the skill rank to the end with this one I couldnt figure out how far the skill level was. However, I had a guess close to the certainty that there would be at least SSS+ level. Perhaps, considering the Tome of Divine Reproduction (EX) obtained this time, there was a possibility that the skill rank was at its peak beyond the SSS+ level. So it was very sad. I think it would be most efficient if used for at least SSS-level skills. Thats what he would be If the downside is that I still dont have that skill, it must be a downside At most, the highest grade of my skills is between SS- and SS+. It is impossible to bring out the value of this Skill Proficiency Up Potion (SSS+) obtained this time. Even so, it was a waste to keep such a great item in the inventory. Now I can fight the battle with the gods in earnest. There is even a transcendental myth < Spirit Tuning >, isnt it? With the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning >, the skill can also be used as a type of Spirit-type ability. So, not using skill proficiency potions can be seen as a loss. The time to worry was not that long. You have consumed the skill proficiency increase potion (SSS+) Select a skill to increase your proficiency As it was, I drank the skill proficiency increase potion and finished my skill selection. Unlike the tome of divine replication, there is no reason to save this anymore. Even if I left it in the inventory anyway, there were many downsides. Even if time passed and the rank of the skill was raised to SSS- level, it was not possible to create an EX-level skill right away. It should be a skill with at least SSS-level and 85% of the existing proficiency. Only then will you receive the maximum effect of the 215% skill level increase of Skill Mastery Up Potion (SSS+). But how long would it take to raise the skill rank like that? Continuing to think about it, it felt like it was inefficient not to use a skill proficiency increase potion. Then its the right decision to raise the level of one of the main skills here. and. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons power skill, Hwawon Demon Sword (SS-) mastery increases by 215%. The moment you select the skill to use Skill Mastery Up Potion (SSS+) within. The mastery of the Power Skill skill Soul Source Demon Sword (SS-) has reached 100%. The level of the Power Skill skill Soul Source Demon Sword (SS-) has risen by one level. . Power Skill Skill The mastery of the Soul Source Demon Sword (SS) has reached 100%. The grade of the Power Skill skill Soul Source Demon Sword (SS) has risen by one level. . The Power Skill Soul Source Demon Sword (SS+) ) mastery has reached 100%. The level of the power skill skill Soul Source Demonic Sword (SS+) has risen by one level. . The Power Skill of the Spirit Power Skill has reached a high rank before I knew it. . Now, the skill rank of the Hunyuan Demonic Sword is SSS-level Thats an infinitely high level among the skills I possess. Its definitely a worthwhile investment, though. But nothing was regretted. It was worth it. Hon Yuan Demon Sword is a top-notch power skill that multiplies the output of your martial arts. Whatever it is, an attack mixed with martial arts can increase its strength. So far, in all fights, the Soul Source Demon Sword has been automatically activated, and thanks to this, even in battles with high-ranking gods, they have been able to achieve a certain level. So, could it be that it was a waste to invest the skill proficiency increase potion in the Honyuan demon sword? Im looking forward to seeing how far the power of the Honyuan Demon Sword that has reached SSS-level will work. I smiled at him and installed the equipment I took out of my inventory. Items that were forcibly transferred to the inventory due to the restrictions of the special contract ordeal quickly found their ce. Blood Demon Sword, Breaking Sword, Soft Iron Pendant, Vampire Counts Old Tailcoat, Wind Spirits Boots, etc After wearing countless items, I felt relieved to think that I had finally regained my original appearance. DYou Then, as soon as I put my hand on the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, I heard a sound in my ear. DWhat the hell is this! Its nothing else DCould it be that youve stepped into the world of a higher deity!? It was Damcheonwoo. DHow could the level of divinity have grown to this extent! Damcheonwu said in great amazement, as if he had sensed the level of divinity before he knew it. Can you figure this out? I had to be surprised at Dam Chun-wus level, even slightly. It was worth it. I never thought I would be able to recognize the level of a higher level of divinity. It is difficult to attribute this to the ability of a soul ego to have noticed this even though I control the level of divinity well in my own way. . Perhaps it was only Dam Tianyus ability to recognize this. So it was bound to spark interest. In fact, doesnt this mean that Dam Cheonwu had achieved a level close to that of a high-ranking deity? Otherwise, it was impossible to notice at once that the level of divinity had risen to this point. Even if it fell in the form of a soul ego, that cannot be denied. Its fun. And to him, I secretly cut off the mental connection with the soul ego and continued my thoughts. Certainly, it seems that Dam Chun-wu wasnt a divinity at the level of an ordinary one. I guessed from when he said that he had experience fighting an apostle who served an ancient deity. But I never thought that it would go on like this. In fact, perhaps Dam Tianwu has reached an infinitely high level of divinity? If thats the case, theres plenty of room forter use. Soul egos that have seen the world of higher deities arent thatmon. The power of the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > does not apply only to abilities such as skills. Perhaps it can be used by applying a spiritual attack to an item like the Blood Demon Sword. And if so, how far can the Blood Heaven Demonic Sword expand? It would be of great help if the power of Damcheonwu, who had seen the level of a higher godhead, sympathize with my spirituality. Ill be able to remember it and use itter. Thats very certain. DDid you really defeat the evil spirit? And as I put my thoughts together, Dam Chun-wu continued to speak. DI thought it would stop at driving the evil gods out of the world, but to really kill the evil gods and absorb their power. Did you figure out what was going on on your own? DYou guys are definitely different. The path itself is different from that of the main seat. Now I have nothing to say. Dam Chun-wu muttered that andughed as if it were absurd. DFrom now on, it seems that the day when I will surpass the power I had during my lifetime will not be far off. Is that so. DThats right. no. perhaps. A bar that may have already been surpassed. In any case, I know you are definitely a monster. and then. DSo I guess I can make up my mind too. As it was, Damcheonwu continued talking with a somewhat excited expression as if he was having fun. DI will watch the journey to see how far your growth continues and what you will get at the end of this road. Its no different than before, isnt it? -Thats right, though. Isnt it important that you made up your mind? It means that I will be able to walk the same path as you. That or that. I did say it as if it were a trivial conversation. To be honest, Dam Chun-wus determination was not bad. With this he has expressed his willingness to fully assist me now. I think the conversation is roughly over with this, so lets go finish what we have to do. And I smiled softly at him and soon finished preparing to enter the ordeal. I will properly show you what it means to have entered the realm of higher godhood. But something was strange. I enter the 22nd floor of the Tower of Trials #%&^` It s nothing else Beep-! The system stops the trial on the 22nd floor of the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Suddenly, the system stopped entering the trial. What is this again Even though he had powers that did not match the number of floors in the tower, he didnt seem to have said much. But that was only for a moment. Current challengers level does not match the level of the early 20th floor of the Tower of Trials. The appearance of the system message appeared in front of my eyes as if to inform me of the cause. ording to this, I sensed the need to adjust the tiers of challenger Han Seong-yoon appropriately. Then, system messages came to mind and a lot of things started to change. Startingyer adjustment. With the authority of the Tower of Trials, the < Special Layer > is activated. The Tower of Trials < Special Layer > bes one world from the 22nd to the 25th floor. This .. tier adjustment. And to the fact that the < special ss > will be one world from the 22nd to the 25th floor. After reading all the system messages, I realized what this meant. ss adjustmentpleted. Right away Enter the Tower of Trials < Special Tier: Compression Ordeal > Difficulty C Hard The subject of the ordeal is Demon Realm Challenger I hope there will be a satisfactory result at the end of the chosen penance. . 22nd floor, 23rd floor, 24th floor, 25th floor. Eachyer should have had different trials and different rewards. A total of 4yers and trials werepressed into one crazyyer that was created. Could this have happened? Even that is only for the purpose of matching the difficulty level to me. Chapter 299 298. Special Tier (3) Enter the Tower of Trials < Special Tier: Compression Trials >. Difficulty C Difficulty The subject of the ordeal is Demon World. I hope there will be satisfactory results. Specialyer. I was dumbfounded when I saw the result of arbitrarilypressing the trials, saying that the Tower of Trials adjusts the levels ording to the level of difficulty. Is it because its a phenomenon Ive never seen while climbing the tower? For some reason, a throbbing headache arose in my head, and I couldnt help but sigh. He would be like that too Isnt this a little Compressing all fouryers into oneyer andbining them? Considering that the difficulty level of all levels boasted a semi-transcendent level while climbing the tower recently, it could be said that it was actually the worst ordeal. At least one official divinity should be seen as intertwined. Even if you have reached a higher level of deity, it is not very pleasant to meet a formal deity that deals with divinity in the concept realm so often. But that doesnt mean I dont understand it at all. Is it because I reached the level of a higher godhead this time? As I continued my thoughts slowly, I thought I knew roughly why this happened. He fulfilled the iron-blooded lords wish and obtained the highest level of divinity that the tower could give following the leaping divine status and the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. So, with the same level of trials as before, you wont feel that difficult. Perhaps, the Tower seemed to have judged that the level of the hierarchy itself should be raised at once in line with the newly acquired power. Even that in an unprecedented way that merges the hierarchy itself. Even so, I didnt know that the hierarchy itself would be merged like this. At this point, its beyond absurd that my eyes go dark. DHuh. And Damcheonwu said it as if he was dumbfounded. -I had never seen anything like this before. Originally, Dam Chun-wu, the top challenger who reached the 41st floor of the tower, seemed to have seen this phenomenon for the first time. DAre you adjusting the level of difficulty like this because the level of divinity is getting higher? Perhaps even the challengers who reached the 40th floor didnt seem to treat it like this It was like the tower started to care more about me here than the challengers on the 40th floor. Is the Towers interest growing rapidly? At that, I had to weigh whether this was a benefit or a loss, frowning. It was worth it. There must still be several candidates selected by TOP. There are many challengers that the Tower of Trials can grow into a god, just like Seir Nagrat, a challenger with the divine < Spoiler >. By the way. What should I look at the meaning of pouring a lot of attention to me over so many candidates. Perhaps the Tower could have decided on me as a candidate suitable for its purpose. Maybe the Tower chose me as a means to get rid of all deities. Considering what T.O.P had shown me so far, the credibility was considerable. But can it be viewed positively? However, there was no time to continue deep thoughts. The special ss ordeal begins. Remaining time C 14 days Order breakthrough condition C obtain the position of the supreme monarch of Pandemonium within the remaining time Order failure condition C the death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time Reward for breaking through the trial C an old demonic sword (SSS) used by an unknown god Penalty for failing the trial C death Its nothing else . The moment the system message announcing the start of the ordeal appeared. In an instant, the scene in front of my eyes began to change. The deste appearance of the waiting room disappeared before I knew it, and the purple-tinged earth came into my eyes, and the demonic energy that spread in the air pressed my body as if stabbing me. Right-. Achievement Exploration of the Pandemonium has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 10. Now the time hase for the real trial to begin. *** The sudden ordeal forced me to stop thinking. Now I dont have time to think quietly. It was worth it. The current system message announced the start of the ordeal thatpressed a total of fouryers. However, there was still no way I could continue the thought of reading the towers intentions. At least you should know where you are and what to do. If I think about the tower, I wont be able toe up with a meaningful answer right now. Thats why I immediately activated one of my powers and blocked the presence neatly. The special power Ghost Sacred Art is activated. All energy is converted to a state of being blocked. Previously, the ability acquired as a reward from the 19th floor < Blood World Ceremony > became a veil of seclusion and covered its power. DEven if you dont have actual fighting skills, stealth itself is a good ability to use And as soon as the presence disappeared, Damcheonwu said that and asked a question. -So what are you going to do now? Perhaps you are asking how to proceed with the ordeal. well. Shouldnt we start exploring first? There is virtually no information. I couldnte up with a very meaningful answer anyway. Currently, the conditions for clearing the ordeal are set to obtain the position of the supreme monarch of the underworld. However, even so, it was not possible to immediately satisfy the conditions for clearing the ordeal. In fact, I didnt know anything about the Demon Realm, so I couldnt really figure out what the hell I was supposed to do. At best, all we can know is that this ce called the Demon World is deeply rted to the devil? uh? And having reached that point, I had no choice but to stop walking. Wait a devil? He would be like that too . Its because an idea shed in his head before he knew it. Come to think of it, do you really need to explore the Demon Realm yourself? All you have to do is hire a local guide anyway. And The skill Contact Area Detection is activated. Detects the area the foot is touching and delivers the information there to the user. Without using magic at all, I was able to roughly estimate who was where and how wide thisnd was. To put it mildly, the performance is not as good as using Kigam, but It could be said that it was a very good skill to detect a certain area while hiding ones presence. I dont know whats going on in the Pandemonium anyway, so theres nothing wrong with being careful. Can not help it. Considering that the difficulty level of the ordeals umted so far has been stacked 4 times, this ce must be a demonic realm in the true sense. In its own way, it is an ordeal thatbines a total of four ordeals, but how could it be that the divinity was not intertwined? Until we found out information about this ce, it was right to refrain from using magic or divinity as much as possible. Even if you dont have a higher level of godhood, when you reach the level of a formal godhead, your ability to sense will transcend that of a mortal. So from now on, it seemed that I would mainly use the skill. But thanks to that, Ill use the useless skills Ive acquired so far at least once. Even if it wasnt, he absorbed countless spirits and acquired a lot of skills. Well, these arent very useful skills, but they should be worth using this time. Thats why I kicked off the ground and soared into the air as soon as I finished scanning the area. Whoa! The wind spirits boots (A+) exclusive effect, Wind Road, is activated. Then, while receiving the auxiliary effect of the item, I started air maneuvering at once. Divine power and magical power were difficult to use, so they relied on items as much as possible to move. DYoure doing something troublesome. Are you careful even though you have be a high-level deity? Im sure you can handle any enemy anyway. Its an ordeal thatbines the fouryers. Even if you be a high-ranking deity, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Dam Chun-wu grumbled when he saw him move with his strength hidden as much as possible but he really couldnt do anything about it. Although I had defeated the evil god before and became a high-ranking deity, I could still say that I was closer to a formal deity rather than a higher-level deity. Should I say that it is ssified as the weakest among the top deities? Actually DThats true, but Damcheonwu was speechless as if he knew that he wasnt yet a perfect high-ranking deity. DStill, I dont really like it. I agree. DBut its not wise to show off your strength Tsk. I was frustrated because the situation was suddenly twisted. Is that so. At that, I let out a chuckle and tapped the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword to continue talking. But it wont be stuffy for that long. and. Anyway, as soon as we get the information, well move in the original way. After saying that, the moment I looked down. Quagga gag gag gag! These useless things!! How dare you challenge me, the henchman of the 47 Lords, to a duel!! Ha ha ha ha! okay! I will kill you and raise the position of the 62nd monarch to that of the 47th! gibberish! The 51st monarch is the one who will rise to the position of the 47th monarch!! You guys are just scapegoats! Before I knew it, I could see those fighting fiercely with each other on the purplend. Dark magic that reminds me of the ancient devil I saw in the giant treebyrinth. However, unlike the ancient demons, the appearance itself shared some of the human category. That means one thing. -Its a demon. Dam Chun-wu, who saw the battle going on below, calmly came up with the correct answer. DLooking at the horns growing on his head and his tail reminiscent of a cat or lizard, he must be a high-ranking demon. Hmm DI dont know what it is, but seeing as hes talking about being a monarch, I think its probably rted to the conditions for clearing the ordeal? It seems that way. The 47th, the 62nd, the 51st Although he was pouring out words that I couldnt understand properly, I still got a sense of it to some extent. Because the clearing condition of the special ss ordeal received this time is obtaining the position of the supreme monarch of the underworld. If so, perhaps the information they have will soon lead to the conditions for clearing the ordeal. Then I cant just sit and watch. Havinge to that conclusion after a brief thought, I quickly set foot on the ground. Chak-. The skill Proof of Divinity is activated. ording to the level of divinity, a formless pressure is developed outside. The moment I activated the skill obtained by killing an unknown apostle of evil spirits. Deed!! !! Well huh !? What is this? oh where are you! Where does this presencee from! The demons, who had been fighting fiercely in an instant, found it difficult to stand and vomited out pain. It didnt take long for the eyes of the people here to focus on me. After a few seconds at most passed, everyone looked at me with faces stained with astonishment. And Hello? Only then did I greet them with a smile and a friendly tone. The skill Manmaji Kingfħ֮ is activated. Is there anyone I can talk to? And that, too, with the power of being infinitely gregarious (?) to the devil. Chapter 300 300. Specialyer (4) Deed! In the blink of an eye, the air itself was crushed by the attack, and the demons were shocked. It was worth it. Currently, I have activated the Proof of Divinity and the skill of King Manmaji at the same time. Even if it didnt reveal any energy like divinity or magic, there was no way that demons without divinity could withstand it. Theres no way I can resist the power of King Manmaji since Im surprised by a skill like Proof of Divinity. At most, wasnt he greatly astonished by a skill like Proof of Divinity? So, it was good enough to see what would happen if the skill of King Manmaji was mixed. At this point, there is no need to see what will happen after that. Perhaps they will now be terrified and cooperative with me. Actually. Kku-gu-gu-gu-! Kek! Turn it off! Who are you! Who the hell is it that would do something like this!! this is! Isnt it the demon king! How could the Demon Kings energye from that human!? Before I knew it, each of the demons lowered their bodies halfway and spat so much astonishment. At best, it was a level of slight expansion by bypassing the divine status with skills Nevertheless, none of them sweated profusely as if they could not stand properly. At all, beyond encountering the demon king, he was terrified like a prey in front of a predator. DYou dont have to. And as he was looking at it with interest, Damcheonwu said as if he was blushing. C Proof of divinity. I dont know where I got that skill from. Thats the power to let you know, albeit shallowly, about your level of divinity. DHowever, since the King of Manmaji was also mixed with it, he had no choice but to go beyond being terrified at once and to be driven to the brink of fainting halfway. Even so, the reaction is more serious than I thought Originally, I didnt intend to put pressure on the brink of fainting like this. I was just trying to scare you and have a constructive talk. However, it was shocking to see that he was now on the verge of dying beyond the expected situation. Still, I adjusted my strength so that others wouldnt notice it in my own way, but unlike I thought, even this would be a very effective expression of dignity. Even if its a power thats close to the lowest among the higher deities, is it this much? Only then did I stop the activation of the skill Proof of Divinity and recover some of the pressure. Theres nothing to be gained by driving the people in front of me to the point of fainting anyway. And at the same time, the demons who couldnt even breathe properly caught their breath and sent fear-tinged eyes. But that was only for a moment. Bub-bu-bu-bu-bu Huh? A bug ? Its nothing else At most, the ruler of the outside world does something like this in the Demon Realm!? A demon with a lizard-like face delivered words full of rage. If you intervened in vition of thews of the demon realm, you would have been prepared to pay the price, right? Even that in an extremely cold and arrogant tone. what is this again? And I couldnt help but blink my eyes and tilt my head. It was worth it. Even though he had used a socializing method that was friendly to demons, he hadnt expected that he would be so enraged as soon as he stopped activating the skill. It was as if he had forgotten, like a goldfish, that he almost died a moment ago. But that didnt make me too angry. Even if the demon king came from the outside world, he should know about thew! Its just Do you know how far the crime of daring to touch the 47th Lords henchman in the middle of the monarchs battle is in full swing? I just thought that the novelty was like an over-the-top suicide method. Hmm. I will formally report this to the Lords Council as punishment! Its fun. what? Seeing that they talk about things like the monarchs meeting and being subject to punishment, it seems that the Pandemonium has its own order. Still, I seemed to know roughly about the demon realm. Perhaps there are several lords, and the order between lords is determined by a certain type of battle. Now I know the true meaning of the clearing condition of the ordeal, obtaining the position of the supreme monarch of the underworld. -Right. Is it to obtain the top position in the Demon Realm, where numerous monarchs arepeting for rank? Thats the worst. And Dam Chun-wu also said that he had realized something about this. DPerhaps you will have to listen to the details to know more, but seeing that the monarchs position surpasses that of the demon lord, it doesnt seem very smooth. It was a sympathy. I dont know how strong the monarch is, but at least I know hes stronger than the demon king. The lizard-like demon in front of him spoke as if looking down on the demon king, so there was no doubt about it. At the very least, the demon lords skills must be at a level that exceeds that of the demon lord. Considering that most of the demon lords Ive seen so far have reached the level of a 4th-ss apostle, there was a strong possibility that there would be some close to godhood among them. Even assuming the worst, there could be people with higher powers than that. As much as the 4yers werebined, the difficulty level itself has definitely risen. At this point, it is inevitable that the level of difficulty of this special ss ordeal will be felt. That would be the case. Starting from the clear conditions of the ordeal, trivial information, and the process of identifying the enemy, wasnt it entrusted to me one by one? Of all the ordeals he had seen while climbing the tower, it would be one of the most difficult. Still, does that mean I need to roll my head to some extent? But the thoughts couldnt go any further. What the hell was this earthworm-like guy talking about! Suddenly, the demon in front of me shouted with eyes full of murderous intent. Get down on your knees right here and apologize to this body!! It was as if he had to crush me in this spot to be free from his intuition. If you do that, I can take your crimes on my own terms But now I didnt have to listen to him anymore. Im sick of hearing you talk nonsense like that. and. Enough now, just shut up. Soon after, he dismissed his words as if he was annoyed. Quazik-! As it was, I walked over to the demon in front of me and mmed his head. Divinity and magical power. Even though it was a simple blow without skills, an attack with all stats exceeding four digits could never be taken lightly. In an instant, the demons upper body, which looked like a lizard, exploded without a shape. Fuuuong-!! Its also very miserable. Soon, bright red blood was scattered and the body of an unknown demon fell. Then, the two demons behind them also trembled. Could it be that the enemies who had fought so fiercely so far didnt know that they would die in vain? What is this The 47th Lords henchman dies so easily? A female demon with a cat-like appearance and a male demon with horns said in fright. And when I saw that, I smiled proudly. It seems like Ive finally taught the demons the right way to socialize. Isnt anyone dissatisfied anymore? I smiled at him and spoke again. Then lets talk honestly with each other now. And that too with an infinitely bright smile. *** Still, is it because he showed the social skills of a skilled teaching assistant once? ask anything! I will tell you all I can say! Before I knew it, the demons in front of me quietly knelt down and said that. It doesnt really matter whether you kneel or not anyway I decided to think of it as a cultural difference thinking that it might be a manner unique to the Demon World. Looking down at them, a female demon with a cats tail looked at them and whispered. There may be stories that we dont even know about, but if its not that, well try to answer them all. Its as if hed do anything to save his life. If so. In response, I immediately looked down at the two demons leisurely and asked questions. Demon world statute lord, decisive battle, external demon king, etc Now, instead of the lizard-faced demons who faced death, I dug up various information. And after that, I understood the situation to some extent. I learnedmon sense about various demon worlds, but there is something really important. The battle between the monarchs. He had roughly grasped the conditions for clearing the ordeal. In a nutshell, the Lords Showdown means that it is an event that determines the supreme monarch, right? supreme monarch. It is the monarchs decision to fight among the monarchs to obtain the position set as the clearing condition of the ordeal. Which of the 72 lords of the demon realm will stand at the highest position? With that, the Pandemonium is currently in an uproar, and it seems that those who fought each other for being the henchmen of a certain monarch were part of the monarchs decisive battle. And it means that an outsider like the Demon King cannot participate in the monarchs decisive battle. The cat-tailed female demon nodded with a frightened face. Yes. Are you saying that demon lords active in different worlds dont even have the authority to do anything here? Thats right. The only ones who can intervene in internal affairs are demons from the Demon Realm. Those who serve any particr god cannot participate in the Lords Battle. That is such a nuisance. I had to click my tongue and roll my eyes at him. It seems that the position of the Demon King in the Demon World is lower than I thought. Even those from outside could not interfere in the battle of the monarch at all. Thats why the lizard-faced demons who became cold corpses must have been so ted. Whilementing that there were fewer ces to use the demon kings power, the female demon with a cats tail continued. But that doesnt mean that those people cant participate in the Lords Showdown Then, is there a way to participate? If you kill a certain monarch and dere that you will take that position, you can be the ruler of the Demon Realm. Hoo. Dont you feel a bit like a demon now? DJust kill any lord and take his ce, and thats it. And Dam Chun-wu, who had heard the great rules of the demon world, spoke as if he were uncivilized. -What are these things really like? But if I had to put it into perspective, wouldnt there be a difference between Makai and Moorim? In fact, when a Murim man, no different from a demon, said such a thing, I felt a slight sense of alienation. Should I say that it is like cursing the same industry for the subject of people in the same industry doing the same thing? However, it was only for a while to put on a look of disbelief at such a sense of estrangement. Looks like youve figured out everything you need to know. Realizing that the search for information had ended before I knew it, I nodded and said that. Now I know what to do. It was worth it. Once you figured out how to achieve the clearing conditions of the ordeal, there was no need to waste any more time. Then, a female demon with a cats tail stiffened her tail and cautiously asked a question. Then we? Theres no need to say that its annoying every phrase. Theres nothing to find out now, so go wherever you want. There was nothing more to gain from them anyway. So it would be better to let go now. However, as soon as they showed their respect, the two demons left as if they were running away. And as I stared at it, the handle of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled. Ugh. DDid you really mean to send them away like this? Its nothing else DI dont know what level the monarchs are, but nothing good would happen if they were left as they were. Damcheonwu expressed his displeasure at letting them go without seeing more blood. It was worth it. Perhaps they will go to the monarch and spit out information about me right away. I was certain that I would tell you everything I had shown you so far, starting with the fact that there was a demon king from outside. DPerhaps there are those among the monarchs who can bepared to higher deities. Is that right? DDo you mean that even after knowing that, you would still spread information about you? no. It cant be. I am just waiting. DWait? Perhaps they will go to the monarch like this. DNo way Then, wouldnt the need to hire a guide go away? And at the same time, I raised a bright me at the very tip of my index finger. The skill Tracking Light is activated. Since the tracking target is currently set to 2, you can find out the location of the tracking target. one. -her! Hes really crazy! With this, we now know where the monarchs are. I continued talking with a smile at Dam Chun-wu, who admired him as if he was enjoying it in an instant. And from now on, it will not be only the position of monarch. D? In the process of bing a high-level deity, I gained quite an interesting power. DWhat is that Its nothing else The exclusive effect Magic Circuit is activated. You can use the users magic temporarily as magic energy. Arent you curious? magic. Isnt it possible to use the energy that is only allowed to demons? It was an ability that could be regarded as a second magic power to the extent that even the divine beings used some of it mixed with the divine. Thats why I showed my desire for a new power with my eyes and smiled. I wonder if I can steal the skills used by the lords of the underworld with my talents. Chapter 301 301. ck magic (1) Monarch. It was like the right of those who are called the closest to the pinnacle in the demon realm. A seat given to those who are looking for a higher level deity that is no wonderpared to any other deity. What could be more meaningful than taking the ce of a monarch in a demon world steeped in winner-take-all and the rule of thumb? Thats why the seat of a monarch is special. At least for Alkaid, the position of monarch was like life. Alkaids yellow eyes shed as he rested his chin on his throne. If he, born of a lowly race like a goblin, hadnt be a monarch, how would he have been treated? It wasnt that difficult toe up with the answer. Goblins are the pinnacle of a weak race since ancient times. The reason I, a goblin at best, can be treated like this is because I am a monarch 100 years ago, Alkaid killed the 62 Lords of his predecessor and became the new 62 Lords. Despite being an insignificant race like the goblins, they were able to overwhelm everything with their innate talents. But even so, Alkaid was not vignt. The position of a monarch is maintained only when you can prove yourself. Alkaid, like himself 100 years ago, realized that being a monarch is a sandcastle that can copse at any time. That too is very certain. In the midst of the monarchs decisive battle in 100 years, there can be no fool who covets my seat of power. Alkaid murmured coolly as he sat on his throne. So this time is no different. A dark citadel with only a handful of light. 62 Alkaid narrowed his eyes as he looked down at his demon with horns growing in the throne room under the direct control of the monarch. Alkaids eyes, which had been stained with boredom so far, shimmered with light anger, and a cold question flowed from his mouth. Did you say that a demon king suddenly appeared in the demon realm? A question imbued with dignity that is not light even though it is just a goblin. The moment when the gentleness that did not match his tribal appearance created an alien sense of intimidation. As if the demon with the horns had been waiting for it, he lowered his head and hurriedly spoke to him. Yes, my lord Didnt you even say that he was a psychopath enough to touch the henchmen of the monarchs? yes! He sure tried to kill us! In fact, the 47th Lords henchman also died The demon tribe, whose horns grew without a moments rest, tried to continue the conversation, but understood. Suddenly, Alcaid stopped him as if he were talking and spoke as if he was talking to himself. Then, is this also one of them? What the hell is that? Its roughly like this. Soon after, the horned demons who served Alkaid revealed their doubts. As it was, Alkaid gave off a cold gaze and clenched his fist as if he was about to grab something with his hand and crush it. Then, from the back of the demon with horns, the sound of something like pieces of ss being cracked resonated. Fall out! What! In the blink of an eye, a light rose from the back of the demon with horns and then disappeared. The skill Pursuit Light is forcibly canceled and disappears. Challenger Han Seong-yoon will no longer be provided with location tracking information. light of pursuit. The tracking-type skills that Han Seong-yoon had previously used were useless. Only then did Alkaids subordinates realize that something had happened and expressed their astonishment. What the hell is this! The chase is attached. Its not a spell, its more like superpowers. In fact, it is a force close to coercion. How can this! Im sorry. Lord. Because of my vices! no. No way. Isnt it an ability that someone like you can stop anyway? Rather I think hesing. yes? Alkaid murmured, his eyes cold. A guy who dares to take my ce ising here. Not different Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! Suddenly, the entire front door of the audience room was destroyed, and a human figure appeared beyond it. The god of transcendence smiles at the unknown monarch. As I thought, there was a monarch here. A tone filled with confidence, as if it were as he had assumed. The moment when In-young slowly emerged from the shaded spot. Before I knew it, a swordsman was standing in the ce where the door to the audience room had been broken. as soon as. Now we can proceed with the ordeal in earnest. It was Han Seong-yoon. *** I narrowed my eyes as I entered the castle of an unknown monarch. This. It was worth it. Its worth it. It was because he felt a high rank from the goblin sitting on the throne beyond the audience room prepared in the monarchs fortress. He is at least a levelparable to a formal godhead, so he can be looked down upon. Even so, he would not be able topete with those who were like evil gods who could be called high-ranking deities. Nevertheless, it was immediately clear that the goblin subject had ridiculous powers. Probably on the same level as a god of battle who doesnt use divine < fighting spirit >. Arent they the strongest goblins Ive ever seen? But it was only for a moment that I thought so. The goblin lord, d in a ck tailcoat, descended from his throne intact, his eyes twinkling. Its been a long time since Ive seen an uninvited guest And as he straightened his clothes, he looked at the demon with horns and said, Gerard. It seems that it will take quite a while to receive guests. Get you out of here. Its like its just going to get in the way if you stay like this. But is it actually not so wrong? The demons, whose goat-like horns grew, immediately bowed their heads and followed the instructions without objection. I smiled as I saw the body of a demon with goat horns hurriedly disappear into the darkness. Its fun. It was worth it. For you to let go of a subordinate who revealed his location to the opponent. Perhaps the nameless goblin lord knows the mistakes of his subordinates. Nevertheless, sending subordinates without any sign of anger came to me impressively. However, the goblin lord in front of me answered roughly, saying that there was no inspiration in the first ce, as if that was not the case. hmm. I never expected anything like that anyway. Thats why Im not angry. That makes sense on its own. And above all, I knew from the moment Gerard reported it anyway. I dont know who you are, but youreing here. Did you even think of that? It was interesting. What the hell did he do to guess that I woulde here? At most, it was all about casting the tracking skill on a demon with goat-like horns. I wondered if he had an unexpected ability to predict, but surprisingly, the goblin lords answer was very simple. Youre asking the obvious The goblin lord said in a puzzled tone. Anyway, if you are an outsider who came to the Pandemonium at this time, isnt the position of the monarch the goal? How can you be sure of that? The ability to track Gerard, and the hands of the 47th Lords henchmen without worrying about the aftertaste. And if you hear the information that you came from outside, you will know even if you dont want to know. If a guy who doesnt care about the lords wrath puts the tracking ability on the lords henchman, its obvious what hes going to do. They must be aiming for the position of monarch. Thats true, but It was unexpected. I never thought I could move my head this fast. The strong people Ive seen so far didnt think so borately. Its been a long time since Ive seen someone read their intentions in an instant like this. Those who have reached the height of the Divinity try to find out everything by relying solely on their strength without thinking about it. Thats why it was foreign and dangerous. Hes at least someone who can think normally. The deities dealt with the divinity of concepts and were full of people whose thinking was broken. This is because divinity can be seen as an element directly rted to the personality of the godhead. The divinity that touches the realm of the conceptes from the personality of the Godhead. Just as I obtained the power of divinity < transcendence > at the end of focusing only on growth. And the divinity acquired ording to the inclination was directly connected to and influenced the personality. However, despite this, the power of the godhead is so great that such a demerit only ends at the level of a psychopath. But the goblin lord was not like that. Even though Ive reached a levelparable to that of a godhead, isnt my mind still eroded by power? An enemy worth fighting for. Knowing how to repeat thoughts means that the probability of writing this or that soon increases. In fact, the goblin lords yellow eyes shed as if he had waited, and the ck energy flowed. Tsuzuzu Lets stop wasting time here. Suddenly, his body was overflowing with uncontroble demonic energy. Now the Magi has fully warmed up. It should be enough to deal with you. and. Until now, there have been many foolish people who challenged me to a duel and tried to take the ce of the 62nd Lord. Soon, the goblin lords yellow eyes shone even stronger. And you, as always, will meet the same end at the hands of this Alkaid. As it was, Alkaids demonic energy took a systematic form and changed like a small bullet. Tadadadadadaang-! In an instant, the sound of gongs rang out simultaneously and ck bullets rained down. And all such attacks were imbued with an infinitely high rank. If you get hit like this, you probably wont be able to get over with minor injuries. If so, it was decided what to do. The divine authority Apotheosis is activated. It bes possible to exercise divine authority ording to the potential divinity. Thetent divinities are < transcendence > < death > < immortality > < reversal > < observation > < discipline > < harmony > < spoken spirit > < fighting spirit >. as soon as. [To be bothered. ] Using apotheosis, this side was to match the level to some extent. In a situation like this anyway, there is no point in hiding your power anymore. Deification took ce in the blink of an eye, and the armor of divinity wrapped around his body. The armor of divinity obtained by increasing the percentage of the 2nd Ascension before was able to block the attacks of evil spirits to some extent. Thats why the ck bullets were meaninglessly annihted as if they were crushed by the divine armor. godhead? And Alkaid, who saw that, said as if he was shocked and surprised. Looking at it now, it seems that he was not just a demon king, but someone who had already attained divine status! But even so, Alcaid was not so greatly agitated. no. Now, as if he had made up his mind, he calmly disyed his intent to kill. Alkaid shouted with his yellow eyes wide open. Then Ill show you my sincerity too! Then, as soon as I heard that, I immediately activated my authority skill. The power skill designated target deceleration is strongly activated. Decelerates all speeds of Pandemonium Lord Alkaid by [40%] for 4 minutes. There was no need to give room to respond to someone who had a good mind. It would be better to quickly see the bottom line than to give yourself time to think. Learning magic skills is just a matter of continuing slowly. I just need to slow down the action speed and learn magic skills however. Be twisted. When Alkaid suddenly said that in a cold voice, something happened. An unexpected haven. Tsutsutsu! The power skill designated target deceleration is canceled by [Unwanted Sanctuary]. A 10-minute cooldown is created by [Unwanted Sanctuary] for the power skill Designated Target Deceleration. [ what? ] It wasnt enough that the activation of the Power skill was suddenly canceled, so the skill had a cooldown. Its not even the unique cooldown inherent in power skills. This is a kind of sealed state by Alkaids technique. I had tough at him because I was dumbfounded. [ What is this ] It was worth it. At best, I didnt know that the power skill would be sealed in a skill that uses magic. Even the power skill was a power connected to a kind of divinity, so there was no choice but to be more absurd. [ So absurd. ] But that was only a moment. The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, the divine effect of < Spirit Indomitable > will be applied to the divine operation of challenger Han Seong-yoon. You can designate an opponent and be equal to all opponents for [4 minutes]. If you cannot withstand the umted burden due to the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitable > may be interrupted. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomous Control >. It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spirit attack that one possesses. The formless power can be tuned with the spirit attack, and the effect of the spirit attack can be applied to that power. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > interfered with the power skill, and the seal by the skill was immediately released. Kwazijik-! The power skill Designated Target Deceleration is freed from the influence of [Unwanted Sanctuary]. [Annoying. ] However, after unraveling the power that interfered with the authority skill, interest arose. Still, its definitely a power beyond what I thought. That would be too I was able to solve it in just a few seconds, but Alkaid interfered with the authority skill. Perhaps, if it hadnt been for the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, I might have had to suffer from the effect for over a minute instead of a few seconds. Still, it was like breaking the seal anyway. Even if Alkaids realm isparable to that of a formal god, its surprising that he sealed the powerful skill even for a moment. It was even more so because I vaguely noticed what the underlying technology was. [Is that some kind of skill that uses demons? ] And as if his guess was correct, Alkaid smiled and said. The answer is correct, Goddess. Alkaid continued his words, concentrating Magi in the space without a break. Its a type of ck magic that can only be used by those who have been chosen among the demons that are spread out like sand. [ck magic? ] The secret arts of those who existed in ancient times are nothing but the exclusive possession of geniuses! [ . ] and. This is the power that has elevated even the humble goblin to the position of great lord! The moment when Alkaids eyes spilled a ck color like an afterimage. Only then did I realize That was the essence of Alkaids power and the supreme skill that made himparable to a god. It wasnt too strange. In fact, is ck magic a transcendental skill like martial arts? Even if it is not, there is a technology beyond the boundary of martial arts in the Moorim dimension. Unlike martial arts, there was only a high-level technology called ck magic in the demon realm. Even that, like martial arts, is a skill that has the potential to reach the level of divinity. and. [ okay? ] I had to twinkle my eyes with an unbearable longing for him. [Good. ] That would be too The exclusive effect Magic Circuit is activated. You can temporarily change the users magical energy into magical energy. [Even if its not, Ive been looking for it all along. ] If I could learn ck magic right here, Id be able to use it as a trump card in the future. [How to use the power of Magi? ] Thats why I switched my internal mana into demonic energy and fixed my gaze on Alkaid. [Still, if youre a strong person like you, itll be a reference level, right? ] ck magic. An exclusive property of genius that only the chosen among countless demons can acquire. Then, if you look closely at this one and think about the principles of ck magic, you will eventually be able to use it. [I want you to show me ck magic that is even better than this. ] because. [That way, Ill get a lot to go. ] Up until now, I have always learned all the techniques with just one talent like this. *** Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the blink of an eye, dozens or even hundreds of fierce battles came and went. A heterogeneous andpletely inefficient battle in which each half relies on demonic energy. The ck light intertwined with each other and spread all over the ce, and each time Alkaid frowned. It was worth it. Whats the ulterior motive? I dont know why, but the godhead in front of me kept not using the power rted to divinity. But, I tried to use divine power once before Alkaid briefly interfered with the powers rted to the divine with ck magic, and from then until now, he has refrained from the divine power. why dont they use divine power? At best, he had to use his strength to erase Alkaids ck magic with the divine armor. He had never seen him use his divine power in earnest. As if he was restricted by something, he didnt use his divinity at all. In the process, Alkaid perceived that the deity in front of him was an absurd monster. and even though I dont have divine power, why cant I rule out that guy? Han Seong-yoon was not pushed back even when he did not bring out even half of the true value of his godhead. He continued the fight as if he was holding on, relying solely on the effects of various skills and items. And every time I had time, I suddenly squeezed the Magi crudely and threw it at Alkaid. Even so, it didnt work for Alkaid because it was a ck magic like an ants struggle, but Still, I couldnt help but be annoyed. What the hell are you aiming for, why do you keep using magic like this forcibly? I couldnt understand. Why is Han Seong-yoon trying to copy Alkaids own ck magic? It has to be. Because ck magic is a skill only for the chosen genius. Among the 72 rulers of the demon realm, there were only a handful of people who had deep knowledge of ck magic like Alkaid, so Han Seong-yoons actions seemed meaningless. I cant use ck magic anyway actually. Dont miss it-! Every time Han Seong-yoon clumsily imitated ck magic, all of his attempts failed. done. Its useless anyway. So he wont have to worry too much about it. At this point, it seemed that Alkaid had nothing to worry about anymore. Thats why he put his mind aside and focused on dealing with Han Seong-yoon. Because all ck magic was excluded from the divine armor, he still couldnt inflict a single wound on him. So, now is the time to take off the divine armor even if you use the trump number. At the crossroads of victory and defeat, it is time to see the end of one road. Ill let you put an end to it now The moment he tried to activate the highest level of Alkaids ck magic. [You seem to know roughly what ck magic is. ] Suddenly, Han Seong-yoon said that with his gaze fixed on Alkaid. under? [Now I get it. Magi Its not like magic. ] [ It essentially specializes in meddling with something and twisting it. ] What. [So, ck magic is also a form of assistance. ] What the hell are you talking about? Throbbing -. Suddenly, Alkaid felt uneasy about the deity in front of him who was uttering an iprehensible voice. Even though he knew that the deity in front of him was just trying to shake Alkaids mind and create a momentary gap. There was a sense of depth in Han Seong-yoons tone to the extent that I thought so. [ Ive been learning how to use it wrong. alkyd. ck magic wasnt like that. ] What kind of bullshit is that? [In the first ce, ck magic is not for offense. Its what you use to support yourself. ] Auxiliary? No way. As soon as Alkaid heard what Sungyoon Han said, he denied it. But for some reason, Alkaids intuition told me this. Thats not a lie, much less nonsense. And whether or not, Han Seong-yoon continued as if he would say what he had to say. [ okay. assistant. Because ck magic is a power optimized for twisting ones own limits. So the usage itself was wrong. ] [From the beginning, ck magic was a power that was used as a means to broaden ones abilities. ] It cant be it cant be [Thats why even the evil spirits, except for physical aids, were poured into divine or mythical powers. ] Exin it! exin! What kind of bullshit is that?! And how can you be so sure!! Before Alkaid could speak, Han Seong-yoon smiled and blurted out his words. [ therefore. ] and. [Its roughly like this. ] next moment. The god of transcendence sends ridicule to foolish ck magic users. [Now I think I know more about ck magic than you do. ] As it was, the dark demonic energy overflowed from Han Seong-yoons body and formed a certain form. What the hell is this And Alkaid, who saw that, had no choice but to watch the scene in awe. ck halo. As if to support the armor of divinity that wrapped around Han Seong-yoon, the halo of ck magic was guarding him. Even that, in a form that is more effective than any ck magic Alkaid has ever seen. [ck magic was the power to use like this. ] Only then did Alkaid realize. ah? Why did Han Seong-yoon say that ck magic is originally of an auxiliary nature? [Perhaps this can reduce the cooldown of skills or the cooldown of authority. ] ah. [Well, it may not be that practical yet, but once you master it, the story will change] Now Alkaid couldnt think of anything to say. Dark magic that supports divinity cannot be used with Alkaid at all. Seeing that it was more efficient than any ck magic he had ever seen, he looked straight ahead with ck dead eyes. And Han Seong-yoon, who used ck magic to Alkaid who was so mesmerized, said with a smile. [Still, thanks to you, I learned ck magic well. ] even. [Is it easier to learn ck magic than you think? ] That too, while spitting out words denying everything about Alkaid. Chapter 302 302. ck magic (2) ck magic. A demons secret technique that is allowed only to geniuses and assists by twisting everything. Surprisingly, despite learning this, I didnt think much had changed. I feel the same way as when I used my sword skills on my own for the first time. It was worth it. So far, all Ive spent learning ck magic is time and mental strength. At best, he had only considered and realized what ck magic essentially meant. Like Alkaid said, he didnt feel that ck magic was the exclusive property of geniuses. Does this have room for real talent to y a big role? But DAre you crazy? There was no time to continue worrying, as the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and Damcheonwoos voice was heard. DHow is it that you, a mere human, are using the secret arts of the demons? And dont you think thats a talent in itself? [Hes not a human, hes a god] DEven so, Magi is a different kind of power from divinity. Control ability to handle it freely and intuition to see the essence. Those two are bound to be in the realm of talent. [ . ] There is nothing to say if you insist on that. In a way, controlling demons wouldnt be that easy. Perhaps being able to control demons like this is part of the application of talent. DWithout thinking tooplicatedly, your talent is outside the norm. Thinking so, Dam Chun-wu continued with a confident tone. DSo, isnt that goblin over there also angry? Its nothing else Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! alkyd. A goblin who took the ce of 62 of the 72 lords of the Pandemonium. All of a sudden, he let out a foreignugh that was steeped in madness. It looks like shes crying, but at the same time shesughing like crazy, and at the same time, shes deeply despairing. Until now until now, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Alkaids yellow eyes shed wide and shed tears of blood as he shouted. What on earth did you mean everything Ive done up until now?! The dwarf goblin in front of me didnt deny anything. Until now, enemies vomited negativity in any form when they saw a power they could notprehend. Whether it was skill, divinity, or talent, there was no difference. Perhaps it was some kind of self-protection mechanism, and he fell into the swamp of death, throwing up endless feelings of denial without acknowledging his ws. If thats the true meaning of ck magic youre talking about But Alkaid is different. I, I I just did an asshole, didnt I? And thats an outrageous asshole Not denying anything was not enough, so he epted the true nature of ck magic. Thats why Alcaids madness and despair were unmatchable. Laughter follows, followed by crying. Seeing the mere little goblin sobbing in madness made me feel sad. However, Alkaids sobs were short-lived. Then lets challenge Suddenly, Alkaids goblins unique yellow eyes were filled with feelings close to obsession. I will prove that my dark magic is correct by defeating you here!! Alkaid howled bitterly and expressed his feelings stained with hatred. Then it wont be possible for all of my useless outbursts!! and. Distort aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Soon, the moment when Alkaid shouted with all his body in the ck magic starter. The shadow of a thunderbolt hiding in the darkness. As it was, Alkaids incantation continued so inly that it gave goosebumps. Kkwajijijijijijikjik!! In an instant, the fortress of the monarchy was destroyed by Magi. Before I knew it, ck lightning pierced the ceiling of the fort, piercing everywhere, and at once, the purple sky of the devil world was revealed. And The supreme ck magices from attack, not support!! Magis thunderbolt, dyed in ck, rises to the heavens like an Imoogi attempting to ascend. I will prove it!! As if going against the set answer, the ck thunderbolt of Alkaid continues the ascension. This is the ck magic I have built up, and this will be the true ck magic! Alkaid said that as if he had even forgotten that he had assumed the position of monarch before he knew it. However, Alkaids ck magic was definitely different from before. It was because the ck lightning that soared into the heavens drew a circle and raised its power. At least a direct hit would shatter the divine armor. It was enough for Alkaid himself to dere that he would establish a new definition of ck magic. But I wasnt too worried. [Well. ] That would be the case [Didnt I tell you? ] Unlike before, now I can handle ck magic. [Now I think I can handle ck magic better than you. ] And. Wheein-! In an instant, the ck halo rotated fiercely on his back, creating a ck light. At first nce, it looks like a Halo with only ck color. The ability of the ck halo created through ck magic was simple. Right away I can easily mix ck magic with divinity with a ck halo. The ck halo dyed in the armor of the divine is close to a kind of ck magic auxiliary system. Just as the evil god mixed the divinity with ck magic in the trial of the earnest desire before. Through the ck halo, I can also mix the divine authority with ck magic. That too is very natural. [Now I can check it once. ] So [What happens when ck magic is mixed with divinity. ] Now its time to see the newly acquiredbination of powers with your own two eyes. Using Divine < Death > Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. Divine < Death > can be strengthened with ck magic by [ck Halo]. ck The essence of the magic was simple. To supplement the concept of what is originally by twisting it in part. If so, there was definitely room for this to be used for divine authority. Divine < Death > is [ck Halo], and the target is twisted and erged. Thats how it is. Thunderbolt of distorted shadows!! Right after Alkaid shed bloody tears and screamed in rage. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!! As it was, the dark clouds that dyed the purple sky ck concentrated all at once in one ce, and lightning shed. Then, the crashed torpedo became a spear that pierced the ground. Or, to be more precise, is it correct to say that I was trying to prate? Kkwajijijijijik! Suddenly, the ck thunderbolt shook as it was at the same time as the distortion of the space continued. It looks like a beast on the brink of dying. However, even so, the incident did not happen, and the ck thunderbolt disappeared as if it were facing death. Seeing the ck lightning dissipate like that, I smiled. [It really goes as I thought. ] Its nothing else. [Did you seed in annihting the space itself with Divine < Death >? ] Divine < Death > annihted the ck thunderbolt into space. *** Why can the divinity < death >, which is originally applicable only to living things, be applied to abstract concepts such as space? [Hmm.] It was simple. [I never thought ck magic could expand the range of application of divine < death >. ] The creature application category of divine < death > is twisted so that it can be applied to the concept of space. By using the power of ck magic [ck Halo]. At most, it was possible to use more practical than I thought for the ck magic I had just created in the battle with Alkaid. Being able to strengthen the power of the Divine by connecting it to the Divine itself in the form of a supplement to the Divine Armor It was really useful. Then, as the ck thunderbolt dissipated in the sky, Alkaids panicked voice was heard. What It was just like that. What the hell is this He probably didnt know that space would be annihted with divine < death >. Actually, I wasnt sure until I tried it myself. However, after twisting the application range of divine < Death > with the ck magic [ck Halo], my thoughts hardened. Now, the conviction that the divine < death > does not have to be applied only to life is firm. How could this be And enjoying the newly acquired state, Alkaid muttered. Are you saying that the shadow of the thunderbolt hiding in the darkness waspletely annihted by merging it into space? Perhaps this time, he noticed that the ck thunderbolt was annihted in space with the divine < death > Anyway, that didnt change anything. As it was, I looked at Alkaid and said. [Are we done showing ck magic now? ] Ah. [Otherwise-. ] Shut up!! Kwa-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-chachang!! Alkaid then fired a ck bullet while shedding tears of blood as if in a half-attack. In the twinkling of an eye, dozens of ck magic unfolded, staining the air with demonic energy. The spell floated as if blinding, and the chant whispered in his ear as if disturbing. But thats it. Now Ivepletely lost my temper. Alkaid lost the cool-headedness he had before and just used ck magic at random. No more goblins reached their pinnacle solely with their talent for dark magic. There are only losers half-desperate for failing to prove themselves. And I dealt with Alkaid for a few more minutes, trying to get something out of him. Is there still a remnant of cool-headed reason left? Its not like before, but its definitely sharp. Alkaidbined dozens of ck magic and developed different strategies. The spells that unfolded without stopping even for a moment didnt give me a chance to breathe but now there was no such interesting ck magic, and Alkaid was reaching its limit. Perhaps Alkaid also noticed that it was difficult to run away anymore, so he suddenly summoned more strength and attacked like a hwangwangbanjo. However, after dealing with it a few times, I got tired of it. I want to roughly end the battle now. It was a battle that would end in about an hour at most. There was no reason to fight if there were no more skills to gain and no enemies to gain experience anyway. And while I was thinking about how to finish it, suddenly a very good idea popped into my head. [Come to think of it, was the ck magic you showed me like this? ] Exactly. An unexpected haven. It is to follow Alkaids ck magic that interfered with the authority skill before. However, the effect of the ck magic [Unwanted Sanctuary] waspletely different from that of Alkaid. At most, Alkaid only converted one power skill to cooldown. This time, the ck magic I used [Unwanted Sanctuary] was able to seal the enemys magic itself. Originally, it wouldnt have been possible to do this even with the dark magic [Unwanted Sanctuary]. It was worth it. The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons Divine operation will have the Divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. . It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spiritual attack you possess. You can tune the formless power with the spiritual attack and apply the effect of the spiritual attack to that power. A state imbued with magic. So, the effect of the ck magic [Unwanted Sanctuary] had no choice but to increase as well. Thats why it was possible to use non-standard spells that temporarily sealed all of Alkaids ck magic. well, at least its just a sealed seal that will be released in about a minute at the longest anyway. this is! Still, this was enough. Are you insulting me until the very end!! At least to bring death to Alkaid. [ no. ] And. [I have no idea. ] next moment. [After all, youre nothing more than someone to learn ck magic from. ] Slowly! As he cut Alkaids head, system messages appeared in front of him. Absorbed themand of the demon lord Alkaid. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 8.7% closer to the 2nd ascension by winning against the monarch. A+) From now on, the level of talent rted to ck magic of challenger Han Seong- yoon will increase significantly . Chapter 303 303. ck magic (3) Absorbed themand of the demon lord, Alkaid. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 8.7% closer to the 2nd ascension by winning against the lord. Exclusive effect Dark Talent (A+) will be acquired. From now on, the level of talent rted to ck magic of challenger Han Seong-yoon will increase significantly. In an instant, system messages appeared as if obscuring my vision. The percentage of the 2nd ascension has gone up a lot this time as well. And after reading all the system messages, I couldnt help but light up my eyes. [If things go on like this, wouldnt even the realm of an ancient deity be a dream at all? ] It deserved it. Presumably, if the percentage of secondary ascension reached 100%, there was a strong possibility of bing an ancient deity. If so, wouldnt it be possible to approach the ancient deity just by winning against the monarchs like this? But I knew it couldnt be that bad. Still, its hard to expect since the growth slows down every time the percentage of the 2nd Ascension rises. Perhaps killing all the lords wont fill all of the 2nd Ascension. In fact, even though the percentage of the second ascension rose quite a bit, the power of the Divinity did not increase that much. So, it would be right to end the lousy imagination at this point. As I put my thoughts together, I heard Dam Chun-wus voice. -her. The rewards are great. In addition to Ascensions growth, I didnt know that I would get the ability to always activate a certain talent increase as a special effect. The sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled, and Damcheonwus words continued. DIts a pity that the monarch doesnt have the power to be called divinity. [ Iknow, right. Come to think of it, that part is a bit disappointing. ] I had no choice but to feel regret. Because Alkaid was not a strong man who had reached the realm of divinity. Only with the power of ck magic did he rise to a position that could even bepared to that of a formal deity. In terms of Murim, wouldnt it be a bit higher than the head of the Blood Demon Religion encountered in the < Blood Ceremony > quest on the 19th floor? Still, even the head of the Blood Demon Church had a divinity. Suddenly, the fact that the goblin named Alcaid was strong came to the fore. Unlike a mere goblin, he is one of the pinnacles of mastery of the secret art of ck magic. So, even though Alkaids ck magic was a little different from the essence of magic, it was undeniable that it had reached a high level. It must have been for this reason that even without a divinity, it could bepared to a godhead. Even so, Alkaid is a low rank like Lord 62. Thats why I was worried about what the future monarchs would be like. In fact, the fact that Alkaid, the 62nd lord, is this strong means that other lords in the demon realm are even stronger than this. I couldnt help but feel upset. Perhaps there could be a higher deity beyond the level of formal deity. Even at a level that cannot be taken lightly. But anyway, it would have been better to focus on the rewards of the present rather than worry about the future soon toe. And I immediately changed my mind. [Come to think of it, its been a while since I got the exclusive effect. ] The moment I confirmed the exclusive effect obtained through the Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >. [This is] I had no choice but to put a smile on my lips as my eyes twinkled right away. [You can increase your ck magic talent] It was worth it. The newly acquired exclusive effect Dark Talent (A+) is an effect that supports the Dark Magic talent. To twist the providence of the world and raise your talent for the supreme technology? In fact, it could be said to be the most useful exclusive effect for me, whocks proficiency in ck magic. [I got something better than I thought. ] So, I concentrated my mind right away and used the ck magic again. In the blink of an eye, the mana in the body was converted to demonic energy, and ck light shimmered and burst from various parts of the body. But this doesnt do anything. At best, if you look around the magic like this, it will stop at raising your physical abilities. As it was, I narrowed my eyes for a moment, as if half-closing them, and recalled the techniques I had seen before in the battle with Alkaid. [You seem to know a lot about magic] But I wasnt too happy about it. [Undesirable haven] [ck halo] [Shadow of thunderbolt hiding in the darkness] etc So far, I have seen various ck magic and even created a ck magic called ck halo, but it was still not enough. [Still, its still not enough. ] ck magic is a technique that twists the essence and assists it. If so, there was a strong possibility that it could be applied to skills and powers beyond divine authority. However, in the battle with Alkaid, assisting divine < death > with the ck magic [ck Halo] is nothing more than a linkage using the divine armor. Its not a technique that only uses ck magic. The reason why I was able to use the ck magic [ck Halo] on the Divine < Death > was because it was interlocked with the Divine Armor. So I couldnt use it equally for skills or powers. [Then what should I do? ] And I had no choice but to think about it while choosing my breathing for a while. Perhaps the only answer to this is to build up technical proficiency in ck magic over time. But didnt his talent for ck magic increase as he got a new exclusive effect this time? If my dark magic talent really increased greatly, I would definitely be able to create a solution for this. [ . ] Because thats what talent is. [ i get it. ] And. [You can just rewrite the form from start to finish. ] Actually, it was. Tsutsutsu!! However, the process was different from when creating the ck magic [ck Halo]. Previously, creating the ck magic [ck Halo] only gave room for the application of ck magic by linking the magic to the armor of the divine. It was nothing more than grafting the basics of ck magic used by Alkaid to the power of the divine armor. But this is different. All I had to do was to formte the form in a form suitable for the towers challenger from the beginning. In an instant, I dismantled the spells I saw in the battle with Alkaid. no. In fact, the word deconstruction is simply searching for themon denominators of the spells and figuring out the basic principles of the formposition. The most basic elements in theposition of the magic form. If I could get all of them out, I wouldnt have to worry so much about making a new spell. Technologies that share the same principles must have amon denominator. If so, shouldnt you be using it? uh? But [ . ] Contrary to my thoughts, the more I dismantled the spell, the more strange things happened. [What is this again? ] That would be the case [ Can this be this easy? ] Now it was beyond extracting the basicponents of ck magic. For some reason, I suddenly felt like I knew the essence of the basicposition of ck magic. Is this the result of the application of the newly acquired exclusive effect Dark Talent (A+)? It felt like a part of the body that ck magic itself had since birth. And because of that, the creation of ck magic has been elerated to an unbelievable rate. Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha!! In an instant, Magis shape turned around like a puzzle piece. In a matter of seconds at most, dozens of spells matched their shapes and, like building a building, gradually advanced to a higher level. It looks like iron powder that sticks to a ma on its own. Now I dont even know why this happened. Just follow the talent of the newly acquired exclusive effect, leave your body there, and focus your consciousness on the creation of ck magic. DWhat is this again And seeing that, Damcheonwu trembled with the Blood Demon Sword and raised a voice filled with awe. DYou You sound like you cant believe it. DIs it really true that we were once the same human? Even the previous challengers who had reached the level of godhood and reached the 40th floor were feeling astonished by their talent. DIsnt this the appearance of a great servant that I only heard about in legends? At this point, I am dumbfounded by my own talent for ck magic. I never thought I could easily dismantle and create a new technology that could be considered an exclusive property of the demons I saw for the first time today. Even the martial arts he had learned before had not been newly created. But now, as if I had surpassed even my talent for martial arts, Iughed out loud while watching the new ck magic spells being remade. [ her. ] And. [Could I have been more talented at this kind of thing than martial arts? ] The moment he mumbled like that and at the same time piled up one more ck magic spell. Deed! In an instant, the newly created ck magic waspleted. A new ck magic that did not exist before was born that only assists the skill and authority of the challenger climbing the tower. Until now, only selected geniuses among the demons had been used, but the ck magic that would be used from now on would be different. and. [Skill Cooldown eleration] The moment the newly created ck magic spell is activated. Chuck Chuck! The skill Tracking Light has been designated as the target for [Skill Cooldown eleration]. The skill Tracking Light has [Skill Cooldown eleration] to reduce the cooldown time. A system message popped up in front of my eyes. [ . ] The cooldown of the previously used skill Tracking Light has been reduced. Originally, it is a skill that has a cooldown of 48 hours in exchange for attaching the tracking light to the demons who serve the lords at no cost. Thats why even the demons who had reached the level didnt notice that they were being pursued. Originally, the skill Pursuit Light still had a cooldown of over 40 hours. There is < 23 hours 27 minutes 17 seconds > remaining on the cooldown of the skill Final Resistance. But not anymore. [Did you really make it] Sess. Dark magic [Skill cooldown eleration] reduced the cooldown of the skill Tracking Light. Relying solely on talent, he seeded in developing a new ck magic that reduced the cooldown of his skills with the first ck magic he learned today. DYou can reduce the cooldown time of the skill by almost half? Even in the form of reducing the original cooldown of the skill by nearly 50%. DCouldnt it be that you can use a skill over and over again as long as your body is overflowing with mana!? Nheless, limitations existed. [ no. you wont be able to The bodys magical power will be greatly reduced. ] ck magic [Skill cooldown eleration] could interfere by twisting the power of the system. Thats why the amount of magic consumed by ck magic was enormous. In fact, even assuming that magic is converted into magic with the exclusive effect Magic Circuit (A+), nearly 40% of the magical power in the body will disappear. And the problem is not only this. [And above all, this skill cannot be stacked for a while. ] The ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration] could not be used multiple times for one skill. [So you wont be able to reduce the skills cooldown time and time again with ck magic. ] Even if ck magic can twist the providence of the world, it is not an all-powerful technique. This, like martial arts, had a limit and could not be exceeded. At least for now, its a force that seems to be so. DStill, there are some restrictions. But even so, it is an unbelievable force. you know that too Of course, its undeniable that its great. [ I know. ] DThat will allow you to turn the cooldown of skills like your lifeline as quickly as possible from now on. [I guess so. ] DSo youll have to pay a lot of attention to that ck magic. In the future, it will be possible to reduce the cooldown timepletely, not by half. [Im sure it will happenter. ] At Damcheonwus words, I replied with a smile. [I created it, so I have no choice but to know better. ] D. [ This can be usedter as a trump card that willpletely reduce the cooldown of the skill once. ] DIts great, but its unlucky to say that. [ .] DIts like a damn talent. The hilt of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and Dam Chun Yu grumbled dissatisfiedly. Maybe its because the talent hes shown so far is ridiculous. I could understand. To be honest, the end of the talent I saw while creating the ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration] surprised me too. I cant believe there is still room for this talent to be used. There is still a lot to learn and to be stronger in the world. So it was infinitely fun. It would mean that everywhere in the world there are still means to reach the power of an ancient deity and one day stand at the end of the road. And it was time to smile happily at him. [Special condition satisfied.] Suddenly, a system message appeared in front of me, announcing the aplishment of the achievement. Achievment Grand Master has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are satisfied. Grand Master. Is it thanks to the creation of the new ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration]? Its a bitte, but the top was trying to recognize the achievement and reward it. The level of achievement achieved by challenger Han Seong-yoon is too high. However, there was a sense of heterogeneity for some reason. So far, no matter what achievement Ive obtained, this phrase hasnte out? It was worth it. I had never seen a phrase that the level of achievements achieved as a challenger was high. And at the same time as questioning, a system message followed and a reward was given. Approvalpleted. The system allows challenger Seongyun Han to acquire additional exclusive privileges with the approval of the Tower of Trials. [ ? ] Even Acquired Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill]. The rewards of exclusive authority deeply rted to the Tower of Trials. Chapter 304 304. ck Magic (4) Achievement Great Master has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are satisfied. . Approved. The system allows challenger Han Seong-yoon to acquire additional exclusive privileges with the approval of the Tower of Trials. A system message appeared in front of my eyes in an instant and the reward was given. Acquired exclusive authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill]. Transcendence skill. It was given an ability, a kind of exclusive authority deeply rted to the Tower of Trials. And I stared nkly at the system message for a while, thenughed at the absurdity. [What is this] It was justified. Originally, the towers achievement rewards are neatly paid in terms of ability or skill. However, the reward for the newly achieved achievement by creating the ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration] was different. [Is it possible to obtain exclusive privileges so easily? ] dedicated permission. The giant treebyrinth and the tower-rted abilities that could only be obtained asionally in manager quests. And so far, some exclusive privileges have been used well, so this situation has no choice but to feel even more embarrassing. At most, its not a power that can be obtained as a reward for any achievement. It doesnt even seem like this is a meaningless exclusive privilege. However, the name of the newly acquired exclusive authority was also heterogeneous. transcendent skills. Among the exclusive privileges obtained so far, there was no power that could affect skills and authority. It was just that I was able to deal with the various functions rted to the tower in a little more depth. But it doesnt stop there. Its an exclusive authority directly rted to the skill. What kind of ability do you have? DReally, at this point, you can see that the top is determined and pushing And with his eyes shining, Damcheonwu said as if he was in a state of copse. DNo matter how great your achievements are, its almost impossible to get exclusive rights from the tower [So youre saying youre envious? ] DAre you envious? Not at all? Now I just want to do that! [ well. It doesnt look that way. Anyway, thats what it is. ] D Damcheonwu kept his mouth shut as if he still had some lingering feelings for the tower. It looks like its been stabbed in the middle of the day. But from there, instead of teasing him further, I continued to turn my eyes to the exclusive powers I had newly acquired. That would be the case Im looking forward to it. In the first ce, isnt the name A-0107 [transcendence skill] the exclusive authority? I dont know what the actual ability is, but first of all, the name is shy, so its worth it. And above all, none of the exclusive privileges he had obtained could be dismissed as useless. At least with exclusive rights, the ability to use it wille out someday. Thats why, without hesitation, I invoked the exclusive authority as it is. Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] is activated. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skills can be designated as a skill. And. Exnation begins with the first activation of exclusive authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill]. If you select one of the skills that challenger Seongyoon Han has, that skill bes a [Transcendence skill] for 1 minute. Skills designated as skills with Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skills] are assigned the highest rank on the system for 1 minute and are assisted by the system.However, the effect cools for 10 years immediately after activation Take your time, and the skill of challenger Han Seong-yoon will be released from the skill. After reading the entire exnation of the exclusive authority, I touched my chin and narrowed my eyes. [In other words, does that mean that you can use the highest level skill with a cooldown of 10 years for 1 minute? ] understood. [I got something interesting. ] And at the same time, I increased my interest in transcendence skills with twinkling eyes. Even if it has a cooldown of 10 years, being able to use the highest grade skill for 1 minute is very meaningful. It was worth it. Because the highest level skill of the tower is something I have never had before. Previously, the power skill Hongwon Demon Sword had reached the SSS- level, but it couldnt be said to be the highest level either. The highest level of the tower will be located beyond it. Does this mean that I can use at least an EX level skill for 1 minute? I could even use any skill I had that way. Perhaps skills such as martial arts or ck magic that are not registered in the system can be designated as transcendence skills. It can be used for only 1 minute, and above all, it has a 10-year cooldown immediately after activation . Canceling the activation of exclusive authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill]. I immediately canceled the activation of exclusive authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] and smiled. There are many ces to use this as it is. Even this could go beyond its original use. What if it could be assigned to ck magic? If you can apply the newly acquired ck magic [Skill Cooldown Reduction]. And if it really goes as I thought, maybe it could be used beyond imagination But it was only for a while that I continued to think like that. Suddenly, a presence was felt beyond the copsed fortress. yes. C Han Seong-yoon. Even if it wasnt Dam Chun-wus words, I already knew. [ I know. ] Damn! At that, I stopped checking the reward I received from the tower and turned my head. Then, a gentleman with a goats head appeared out of empty space. A heterogeneous appearance, as if half a human and half a demon were mixed with a goat. The mountain goat gentlemannded on the floor of the audience room with a broken ceiling before he knew it. hello? And I felt the fragment of the weak power felt in him and intuition. You are the one who newly obtained the throne of the 62 monarchs. Its not different Nice to meet you. I am Alton. The one who sits in the seat of the 64 Lords of the Demon Realm. and. Divine power was flowing from the goat-headed gentleman. [ C God of despair, fall and madness. ] even. [This is a monarch who serves as a deity and apostle serving a great ancient deity. ] And that, too, a divinity in a very horrific and familiar atmosphere. *** rot. God of despair, fall and madness. An ancient deity who started with the Giant Tree Labyrinth and had various bad rtionships with Karnar Sagsis. Even God is a monster among monsters with three divinities, unlike any ancient deity. Since the name of such a being was suddenly mentioned, my alertness rose at once and I broke out in a cold sweat. Could that ancient deity intervene in the ordeal again? For now, the most reasonable inference is that an ancient deity intervened in the ordeal. The God of Despair, Fall, and Madness had tried many trials before, so there was a high probability that it was what he thought. Just as he raised the difficulty of the ordeal by dealing with usurpers and beings like Karnar Sagsis before, there was no possibility that he would do the same this time. Thats why I immediately closed my mouth and red at the goat-headed gentleman in front of me. [ . ] Instantly. A situation where the strings of tension were so prevalent that there was no choice but to exin it. And with that, I was ready to activate all mybat-rted skills. As much as possible, whenever a battle breaks out, you can respond with all your might. Suddenly, however, the goat-headed gentleman burst intoughter and changed the mood in the blink of an eye. ha ha ha! Dont be so nervous! new monarch. I just came to talk. [Conversation? ] Yes. Lord 62 No, now youre a goblin torn apart. anyway. I can only pay homage to the pioneer of the new age who defeated that lowly goblin. [ . ] Unlike a goblin, I have a deep knowledge of ck magic, so I was in trouble because I couldnt get rid of it, but maybe I was lucky enough to get rid of it ] Excuse me. Thinking about the lowly stuff made me angry. Anyway, I have no hostile intentions toward you. [ Exin. ] I will do that. Lord. He killed the previous 62 Lords and took the new 62 Lords seat. There are a few things I would like to suggest about it. Continuing the conversation with the gentleman with the goats head, I realized one thing. no way. Right away Didnt you hear about me from the god of despair, fall and madness? That Alton, the goat-headed gentleman in front of him, did note because of a divine order. Alton only said that he was the Lord of the 64 and that he was serving an ancient deity. He didnt reveal much of his life, and he didnt even try to cheat. Then there is no need to reveal this side yet. Is it luck out of misfortune? At least Alton didnt seem to know about me. Considering the disposition of a god of despair, fall, and madness, he probably instructed Alton to use his strength as soon as he met me. At the point where he didnt reveal his intention to kill, it became clear that he didnt know me. Thats why its a better choice to listen to Alton a little more. For now, it wont be toote to draw a conclusion after listening to the story. After a moments thought, I quietly listened to Altons words. Perhaps you will be targeted by numerous monarchs from now on. [? ] Because you broke the agreement between the monarchs. A demon king from outside the demon realm must not harm the monarch and usurp his ce. So now its going to be a big deal. [Is it because of the rule to exclude outsiders? ] Thats right. For a demon king from the outside world to harm the monarch would be truly absurd. So he will be killed soon. [ . ] By killing six high-ranking monarchs, you will be qualified to challenge the current supreme ruler of the Pandemonium, Lord Baal. [Is there such a thing? ] I never thought I could get the qualification to challenge the 1st lord by killing 6 high-ranking lords. Does a high-ranking lord refer to a lord with a higher rank than himself? Alkaid, who is only 62 lords, cannot be regarded as a high-ranking lord. Perhaps Altons high-ranking monarch meant a higher-ranking monarch than himself. And by killing 6 of the 72 lords of the demon realm who are higher in rank than you, you can challenge the position of 1st monarch. Then, do I have to defeat 5 more lords with a higher rank than the 62 lords? At this point, I think I know how to proceed with the trials of the demon realm. However, the situation was not so good at the time Alton, the 64th lord, spit out such information. Maybe Alton is trying to murder me and be the new 62 Lord. Then, narrowing my eyes, I asked Alton calmly. [So you came to kill me too? ] Hahahaha. It cant be. I am a person who knows the subject. At most, its a vessel that can only be rated as a 40th-ranked monarch. [Still, that means you have the confidence to be a 40th-ranked monarch. ] Its embarrassing, but it is. Alton said, bending the goats eyes. So I have a suggestion. All of a sudden, Altons eyes were overflowing with greed. Looking at it like this, I am an apostle of the ancient godhead in my own way and have the title of 64 monarch. Thats why I have ties with other monarchs. [ so? ] It means that you can prevent you from being killed by another lord only under the condition that you ept my offer. [That sounds nice. ] Actually, I wasnt so happy. Being able to avoid scuffles with countless lords is certainly nice. After all, this man named Alton in front of me is also doing this because he wants something. Even if you dont have to worship the god of despair, fall, and madness, it wont be a very reliable suggestion. What I am going to suggest to you is simple indeed. In fact, it was. Would you like to participate in Cradle, a 1:1 duel between lower lords? Alton raised the corners of his mouth and said in a voice filled with joy. Only by consultation between the monarchs, the duelists are selected, and with that, the duels are fought one-on-one without any help between the monarchs. And only then did I understand. There are a lot of people who dont fit the devils dirty tricks, so we dont hate this cradle duel that much. What does the goat-headed gentleman in front of you want? There are many 50th-ranked monarchs here. If youe, there wont be much damage. Alton. A person who serves the god of despair, fall, and madness, and also holds the position of 64 monarchs. The reason why he invited me to the Cradle, a duel meeting attended by the lords of the demon realm, could be read in his eyes. You too will benefit from a 1:1 duel at Cradle. He would too If you have the skills to do that hahaha. Seeing the attitude of looking down, it is impossible not to know. Do you think you can lightly apply me right now? Greed and contempt in the eyes. I dont know why, but Alton, who is nothing more than an apostle of an ancient deity sees me as an insignificant prey at best. Chapter 305 305. Melee (1) A smile forms on Altons goat-like face. [ . ] I think I put on a poker face in my own way to hide my intentions . Right now, Alton is obviously looking down on me, and hes staring at me as if hes aiming for prey. So absurd. sure Even if this is not a skill to read emotions mastered through faith, is it not obvious? cradle. The answer was fixed at the time I was invited to a meeting where only a 1:1 duel would determine the ranking of monarchs. Thats very certain. At least I didnt invite me to a duel meeting with good intentions. Perhaps what Alton wants is my seat. alkyd. In the position obtained by killing the goblin, the 62nd ruler of the Demon Realm, Alton was showing the light of greed. And in fact, he had been secretly interested in the position of the 62nd monarch. Is it because Im inviting you to a ce like a cradle because I want to get a seat that I have? After thinking for a while, I was able to read Altons purpose. But even so, he had no intention of not falling for Altons numbers. If you stay like this anyway, you will have to fight a melee surrounded by countless lords of the demon realm. Perhaps because Alton knows this, he shines the light of greed so confidently. Ill ask you to make a wise choice Actually Suddenly, Alton bent his eyes like a snake and spoke as if threatening. Its fun. At this point, even if I was curious, I wanted to shake off Altons base cloth. What the hell are you hiding, do you think you can overwhelm me with that level of skill at best? Even if you are an apostle serving an ancient deity, there must be limits anyway. I was intrigued to think that maybe I had received some kind of power from an ancient deity. I need to at least find out what I believe in and how confident I am. It was worth it. If youre hiding something like an apostle of an ancient deity, youll be able to use it as it is. And above all, isnt there information obtained from Alton? The position of the supreme monarch of the Pandemonium must be obtained by killing at least six more monarchs. If so, it would have been foolish to reject Altons offer here. Im going to take you to a restaurant myself, but theres no need to refuse it. So I smiled and nodded my head. [ Having said that, I also wonder what kind of ce the cradle is. ] Then? [I will participate in a ce called the cradle. ] Hahaha! You seem to be quite confident in your skills! I dont hate people like that! And Altons eyes lit up as if he were looking at a fish with a bait. Then now is the time to save each other time. The moment Alton opened his greedy eyes wide and snapped his fingers. Just-! [Whirlwind of Wanderers] As it was, demonic energy overflowed from under his feet, and a purple portal opened. Its probably a type of ck magic called the magic of the demon realm. It was fun. I think I know roughly what the principle is. It was worth it. Until now, there was no room for talent to be applied to things like space movement skills but the purple portal that Alton developed as a demon is different. Because it was a space movement-type spell that was only made up of ck magic. [ . ] And that meant only one thing. A talent that shocked even Alkaid, who had been engaged in ck magic all his life A genius who could read the essence of technology in the blink of an eye had discovered Altons dark magic. Its fun. In a word, now I also gained the ability to move in space. *** Space movement. I didnt expect to get this like this. Something that can jump over distances between spaces in the blink of an eye. Surprisingly, among the many abilities he had acquired so far, there were not that many abilities rted to space movement. At most, it would be limited to the power Shunbo obtained from a preliminary apostle who served the god of battle. Even more so if its a space-type ability that allows you to move over a very long distance. I didnt expect to get the ability to move through space, not through skills or powers, but through dark magic. Therefore, the purple portal in front of him was bound to be a valuable skill. Perhaps after modification, it could be an ability that can be used inbat such as teleportation. Even the fact that it was a skill called ck magic that was easy to touch directly attracted attention. And as I looked at it with interest, Alton smiled and giggled. It looks like you unintentionally surprised me. In an instant, Altons goat-like face was filled with a subtle sense of superiority. I understand. There arent that many ck magic spells as sophisticated as this in the world. After seeing the ck magic of Alkaid, a vulgar goblin, you can be surprised enough . Even this is one of the secret arts passed down in our family. Its probably the noblest ck magic youve ever seen. [ . ] Ah. But you can do that surpriseter. Since we wont have time for each other, Ill show you ck magic separately [I dont think so. ] But I said with a smile at Altons superiority. [Anyway, the interpretation of the spell is over now. ] yes? [So theres no need to show itter. ] What the hell does that mean? Are you done with the interpretation of the form? Theres no way I could interpret this so quickly [ there is. ] And. [The principle is fixed anyway. ] What. [On the surface, it looks just like space movement, but if you look closely, its not space movement. ] . [ In effect, it just specifies space coordinates and contracts the current space to that point to make it appear to move through space. ] What is that? [Vortex of the Wanderer]. The ck magic developed by Alton is actually closer to space contraction than space movement. It is to pull the concept of an abstract space with ck magic for a while, and based on that, take those who have been in contact with ck magic to where they want. [Its not a very stable way. ] Space movement is definitely interesting but it also had a lot of ws. First of all, it is to contract the abstract concept of space, so the difficulty of using it must be enormous. And even if it seeds in using it, a catastrophe will ur if a mistake urs in the process of shrinking and moving space. Perhaps there was a possibility that the body would be exposed as it is in the process of crossing the space. If thats the case, my body could be swallowed up in the space as it is. At least, if that fails, the loss of a part of the body is certain. [This is the most unstable ck magic Ive ever seen. ] . [The ck magic of space movement is interesting, but it has quite a few ws to match. ] What the hell are you talking about! That cant be! This is my familys arcane magic!! [ . ] But maybe Alton didnt even know this properly. Is this really an apostle serving that ancient deity? All of a sudden, Altons face was full of reactions that he didnt know why. Nervousness, anxiety, doubt, jealousy, anger, etc Numerous negative emotions swirled through his eyes. He probably didnt even know what kind of ws the dark magic [Vortex of the Wanderer] had. And I couldnt help but close my eyes in deep disappointment. Does that mean that he really didnt know the principles of ck magic he was dealing with? At most, he had only used ck magic once. Even so, I felt like I already knew all of Altons abilities. At least when I realized that Altons level hadnt reached the highest level like Alkaids, my interest in him rapidly diminished. DUnlike an apostle of an ancient deity, you are foolish. In fact, Dam Chun-wu looked at Alton and said that as if he was dumbfounded. But I didnt have to worry so much. A guy like Alton, who doesnt even know about his own dark magic, wouldnt be worth remembering anyway. And If thats the case, try following my secret technique yourself The moment Alton shed light anger with a chilly re in his eyes. Why dont you prove directly that its not space shifting, its just pretending to be space shifting? I immediately nodded and epted the offer. [Yes. ] Even if it wasnt so, I didnt intend to entrust myself to this trifling ck magic. The failure of the ck magic [Vortex of the Wanderer] is not a very meaningful assumption, thanks to the divine armor and its transcendent durability. Even so, there is no need to entrust space movement to Alton, a half-witted warlock who doesnt even understand his own skills. He even knew where the cradle was by recalcting Altons ck magic. If you know where the cradle is, its not a job to use ck magic more reliably. So, all that remains is to deploy ck magic. [Can you at least show me some ck magic thats more effective than this? ] Thats why I said that and calmly deployed ck magic. In an instant, his thoughts are concentrated, and the principles of ck magic that Alton showed are quickly but more stable than before. Perhaps, if you develop ck magic as it is, it will boast excellent perfection as it is. However, in the midst of building a tower made up of spells, his eyes focused on principles that showed room for improvement. Its good to be a space movement type, but why are there so many things I really regret? It was worth it. Even though it can be sufficiently efficient, ck magic pursues an inefficient principle. One of the most irritating among them was the principle of moving by contracting invisible space. Wouldnt it be more efficient to fold the abstract concept of space and bring it into contact with each other? I just need to be able to move to the ce I want anyway. And [I think its better to do it this way. ] In the blink of an eye, the development process of the spell slightly twisted and a new ck magic appeared. Folding Vortex A technology that can transcend a space remodeled solely by genius. *** Chijik-! Soon, a wave of purple light came out from under my feet and enveloped the area. The true value of the ck magic [Twirl] was revealed. As it is, space and space are twisted and connected to each other, and then thendscape itself changes. As if by magic, the space itself has changed from a half-copsed fort to a duel. The result of remodeling the ck magic [Wanderers Vortex] appeared in front of my eyes. Achievement Space Control has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. Reward level obtained from achievement has been increased from [Grade B] to [Grade B+] It rises. The skill Space Control Assist (B+) is created. And. [Did I tell you? ] What the heck is this!? The moment he turned his head to Alton after finishing the space movement. [If youre going to move in space, theres a more efficient way.] Just like that, Altons beast-like eyes trembled violently as if an earthquake had urred. Chapter 306 306. Melee (2) I narrowed my eyes as I saw the space that had changed in the blink of an eye. Is this the cradle? cartel. Because a ce that could only be said like that really spread out before my eyes. I think the 1:1 duel meeting of demon lords that Alton was talking about is probably here Its interesting. I didnt know that the arena was set up in earnest like this. It wasnt even a regr arena, there were seats that looked like spectator seats all over the ce. And from those sitting in the wide audience, I could vaguely feel and notice divine, demonic, and magical powers. [The monarchs. ] Roughly speaking, should I say that I have just risen to the ranks of an official godhead? Its hard to say for sure, since he doesnt possess divinity alone, and he hasnt reached that level with divinity alone. It seemed certain that he had at least that much power. And as I was watching the 8 monarchs seated in the audience at the arena, my eyes were twinkling when I suddenly heard a voice next to me. What is this Its nothing else You can really imitate arcane magic? It was Alton. It could it couldnt it couldnt! He still couldnt understand the newly remodeled ck magic [Tending Vortex]. The way the goats face was distorted as if he couldnt admit it. The expression he had managed so far copsed like a sandcastle in front of the waves, and he spat out a mixture of anger and astonishment in an instant. My ck magic, Lord 64! It was also independently developed by my family!! But a foreigner can use it!? Kwaaaak-. Even in the form of overhauling the principles of the arcane form itself? Altons hand was squeezed tightly, and an infinitely thick negative emotion flowed out. Somethingsomething must be very wrong! But its not a very interesting story. [Its not a big deal anyway, so is there anything to be so excited about? ] It deserved it. After all, I have already confirmed that I have an unusual talent for ck magic anyway. Didnt he learn some of the essence of ck magic from his previous battle with Alkaid, and even create a new ck magic based on it? So its not surprising that some of the ck magic is modified. Even thats not all. And more than anything else, Alton couldnt understand why he was astonished by the alteration of ck magic. Do you have the right to evaluate the newly renovated ck magic on a subject that you dont even know the principle of the ck magic that you handle yourself? Perhaps Alton still doesnt know what the w of the ck magic [Wanderers Vortex] is. Still, even though he was a goblin, he was different from Alkaid, who was able to use it as a foundation for growth due to his knowledge of ck magic in his own way. Alton was nothing better than Alkaid. In the first ce, Alton seems to be a person specialized in divinity rather than ck magic. If it wasnt for the apostles who served the ancient deity, he probably wouldnt have been able to sit in the position of 64 monarchs. Since it is a body that serves the god of despair, fall, and madness, it must have been able to sit in that seat based on the power of the ancient deity. But doesnt Alton think so? All of a sudden, Altons beast-like eyes shed with intense emotions. Theres no way I can do that!! And that wasnt all. Altons emotions led to a kind of influence, and divine power flowed from him. A horrific form of divinity that reminds us of a world that is about to end. As an apostle serving the god of despair, fall, and madness, he possessed a truly irritating divinity. FALSE! Its fake! All of the ck magic you showed me is just fake! But that was only for a moment. Deed!! The god of remorse feels annoyed at the rude attitude of trivial trifles. [Please stop there. 64 monarchs. I dont know what it is, but its rude. ] Suddenly, the old man who sat in the seat of honor among the audience at the arena said so, revealing his dignity. This. And I couldnt help but open my eyes wide when I felt it from over there. Sacred It was just like that. Its not even like an apostle, its a state where you pioneered divinity yourself. The tall old man who currently sits in the high seat of the arena is a true official deity, not a metaphor or anything. At most, unlike the apostles who depended on the outside like Alton, who received divinity by an ancient deity, he was inherently elevated. Shall we say that the level of the soul is purely higher than any enemy I have ever seen in the demon realm? Actually ] God of regret. When the tall old man, recorded in the system message, said that, Alton quickly hid his emotions with a pale face. Its like a child whos been caught by an adult. And Alton, as if his anger up until now had been a lie, quickly got back to his manners and bowed down to the god of remorse. Im sorry My familys arcane arts were insulted, so my eyes went nk for a moment ] . [What a fool. ] The god of remorse smiled with his chin crooked. [But that doesnt mean you cant just be annoyed for a few minutes. ] And then he made eye contact with me and said with interest. [Wee. 62 monarchs. no. You Whoa. Is it someone who has reached a high level of divinity? ] Still, since they are high-ranking deities, can they easily know each others capabilities? [< Transcendence >, < Death >, and many possibilities are inherent ] The god of remorse smiled brightly as his eyes, which had calmed down quietly until now, twinkled. [Awesome. < Transcendence > and < Death > coexist? The fact that your name has not been established as one is probably a sign of your potential. ] Even I didnt know, he spat out without hesitation. [Its a vessel that looks forward to how far it can reach] And. [Perhaps < Transcendence > and < Death > can be mixed together to move to a new level. ] [ . ] [ Excellent. At most, it would be possible to shed the shell of a higher godhead with only thousands of years of training. ] [Is that so. ] [Thats why Im curious. ] The moment when he stopped admiring the god of remorse and changed his expression as if he was interested. [Why did the Tower send a monster like you here? ] I couldnt help but be astonished with my face hardened. *** Top. You dont know that you came here because of the trial of the tower? As soon as I heard that one letter that the god of remorse suddenly spat out, I raised my guard. What it refers to is probably the Tower of Trials. Even more so if the person who said it was not someone else, but someone who was in the position of a higher deity. The god of remorse continued as if he was amused and curious at the same time. [How can I use a bowl of the ocean like you in a ce like this? ] [ . ] [ Are you trying to interfere with the underworld? But for something like that, its a wonder the Tower didnt use a proficient hound. ] [ I dont know what the hell hes talking about. ] And then, as if I didnt know anything, I let go of my pretense. Can not help it. If I let them know that I am a challenger from the tower, then I will be the one to be eliminated from the Demon Realm really quickly. After all, there is no way to know that I came from the Tower. All I have to do is pretend its not like this. In fact, the strongmen sitting all over the arena tilted their heads and expressed their doubts. A tower? Im not talking about something like a citadel. What the hell are you talking about? Are you talking about the ce you belong to? No, but its a bit ambiguous to say so He acted as if he didnt even know what a tower was. And looking at it, I was able to notice that many monarchs did not know much about the tower. But even so, there were exceptions, and Altons eyes were greatly distorted, and a sound close to hatred resonated. You said you came from the tower? then! Are you saying that I am a sphemous sinner who sphemes my great god!! Still, it seemed that he had quite a bit of information about him being an apostle of an ancient deity. [ . ] Its absurd to think that he doesnt even know anything about his own ck magic. However, the fact that Alton reacted so violently must mean that the God of Remorse, who has reached the level of a higher deity, knows more. So now it might be useless to im that he didnt actuallye from the Tower. In fact, that worry soon became a reality. [It would be useless to deny that. ] [ . ] [ And you dont have to deny it like that. ] [What is that] But the god of remorse didnt react as violently as I thought. [In the Pandemonium, I dont care too much about the top or the challenger anyway. ] The god of remorse said with a strangeugh. Doesnt the Pandemonium pay much attention to whether its a tower or a challenger? What the hell is this all about? So far, even a small guess that he came from outside has be a target for many people. The high-ranking deity in front of me said it was a good thing, so I couldnt help but be confused. [Ah, I heard your story. You said you killed that friend of Alkaid before and became the 62nd monarch, right? Too bad. That goblin friends dark magic was something I could admit to. ] [ . ] [ Still, if you encounter a monster like you as an enemy, it would make sense for that goblin friend to die helplessly. ] [ doesnt you have any grudge against me? ] Then, I narrowed my eyes and asked a question. Why does God of Remorse talk like its not something to be concerned about? Howe he doesnt hate me even though he knows that the god of remorse, a high-ranking monarch in the Pandemonium, came from the tower? [That is, of course, there is no choice but to. ] The god of remorse heard that and said with a snort. [Because strength is everything that decides something here anyway. ] [ . ] [ The basic principle of the demon world is to run by the theory of the strong. And I just have no intention of denying that strongman theory like the rest of them. ] [Then ] [Yes. Unlike other bastards who reject outsiders, I ept you. Thats why I made this cradle. ] The god of remorse said while trimming his long beard. [These days, things are power struggles or strategic activities in the battle of the monarchs, so they do annoying things, but isnt that the essence of the demon realm? ] And. [Originally, being a ruler of the demon realm is determined solely by power] Soon, the moment when the eyes of the god of remorse shed with strange aspiration. [Therefore, I only gather like-minded monarchs and fight each other 1:1 fairly to show the extremes as living creatures. ] A smile spread across his lips before he knew it. [ And yet, this is a kind of rule that will apply to you as well. I have no intention of treating you unreasonably just because you came from the Tower. ] His expression appeared as if he had found a fun partner to y with after a long time. [Therefore, as a participant in the cradle, I propose to you. ] [ Suggestion? ] [ You must have definitely reached the position of a higher deity. So, tolerable people wont even be enemies. ] [ . ] [ So I want to change the rules of Yorams 1:1 duel and apply it. ] The god of remorse said with a bright twisted smile that did not match the old mans face. [How about a melee with Alton there and the other lords here? ] Even [I think that would be a bit more bnced. ] Before I knew it, the face of the god of remorse was filled with joy and anticipation. [How is it? ] And, interpreting his words, I could say this. [Would you like to?] This. It is a kind of experience point acquisition event that can quickly raise the experience of the second ascension . Its also a rare opportunity. Chapter 307 307. Melee (3) Melee. I couldnt help but twinkle my eyes at the sudden proposal from the god of remorse. If you can defeat all the monarchs here, you will really be able to achieve considerable growth. Skills and powers and the power of the second ascension obtained through mythology are not things that can be passed lightly. At least considering the < Possibility of Transcendence >, the myth of necromancy, it cant be passed lightly. Maybe he could have acquired a new divinity. And more than anything else, you will be able to get the qualification to challenge the position of the first monarch, the seat of the supreme monarch, through the decrees of the demon realm However, at the same time as I was calcting the gains in my head, a doubt came to my mind like both sides. [I dont understand. ] Thats also true, because the proposal given by the god of remorse isnt very reasonable. [ Why are you giving me such a lucrative offer? ] God of regret. First of all, he has the appearance of a tall old man but he is the one who realized that I came from the tower, not enough to see through the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death > in the blink of an eye. In fact, it can be seen as a strong personparable to the evil god. Definitely something suspicious. Even the old monster in front of me knew that I was a high-level deity. Its still at a level that can be said to be an entry level among high-ranking deities, but it wasnt difficult to predict victory against the lords here. Even if its hard, it doesnt mean victory is impossible. And I couldnt even imagine that a high-ranking deity, such as the god of remorse, would really not know about it. In fact, it was. [ hmm. Since he was a young friend, I thought he wouldnt think too deeply. You seem to be worrying more than you think? ] The god of remorse smiled and said it was fun. [Perhaps you think this old man is up to something, but to be precise, he doesnt have a deep mind. ] [If thats the case ] [Ah, I was just going to challenge the lords here and challenge you to a duel if you lose your strength. ] [ . ] Only then did I know why the God of Regret had proposed a melee. In a word, did you mean to take away the power I had so that I could get a fishermans geography But I didnt know exactly why. Perhaps the god of remorse has nothing to gain by antagonizing me here. It couldnt havee out like this unless it had a special malice towards me like the god of battle and the evil god. And when I looked at the god of remorse, he said with a smirk before he knew it. [I hope you dont misunderstand. Doesnt mean I have a grudge against you. I just want to measure each others strength. ] [ I think thats a contradiction. ] [ Not so much? Even if you look at it like this, its a body that holds the position of the 17th monarch of the demon realm. Measuring you is more of my pure curiosity. ] [ Curious? ] [ Yes. I wonder how far a monster like you has reached and how far it can go Im honestly curious. So I will try you again ] And. [ At the end, it will be entertainment to think about whether to save the sprout that is you or to cut the sprout here. ] After hearing the words of the god of remorse, I couldnt help butugh. Was this the intention from the beginning? Somehow, I thought these were lousy suggestions. It wasnt too difficult to understand the words of the God of Regret. The old monster in front of me had dered that it would drive me to the brink of death and at the end decide whether to kill me or save me. [ . ] Even if you are defeated by the God of Regret, there will be no way to survive. I dont know what criteria theyre going to measure me against. At least in the course of battle, if they find out that I am a sprout that will grow into an ancient deity, then they will kill me without hesitation. So I guess hes saying that hes going to measure it like that But he couldnt even refuse a melee. In fact,ing directly to the cradle means that you have entered the middle of enemy lines yourself. Even if I was going to face everyone here anyway, I had no intention of running away. He hadnt expected that there would be a high-ranking deity, but even if the opponent was a high-ranking god, he didnt think much of stepping back. Maybe the God of Remorse doesnt intend to touch me at least for now. It was worth it. Currently, the god of remorse has dered that he will watch the situation and wait for other monarchs to help. In a word, it meant that I would find out if the enemy could be dealt with through my battles. If so, it wasnt that he had to deal with all the other lords, including the God of Regret, all at once. Theyre probably thinking of moving after seeing my skills. It was felt that the God of Remorse was a thoroughly calcting personality. So for now, I was half-sure that he wasnt going to intervene right away. And it was a time when I was thinking about what to do, considering various possibilities as inference. To think that the power of another monarch should bebined with someone who has not done so well Suddenly, Alton, who had been quiet, distorted his goat-like face and spit out anger. There is no reason for all the monarchs to join forces like that! Alton raised his head and looked around the audience at the arena. Heirs of a noble lineage! Give me a chance! You bastards, dont we all have to stand up! and. Because this Alton Lemenaire, Lord of 64, will deal with the dog from the Tower! Soon, the moment Alton asked for a duel in a very uplifted voice. In Altons eyes, I could read infinite greed. So until I be the 62nd monarch, I hope everyone enjoys entertainment for a while! At most, the theme of being an apostle of an ancient deity, confident of victory against a deity a cheeky desire that made me think it was insignificant. They dont even know that they are their prey. *** As soon as Alton challenged me to a duel, the God of Remorse responded with interest. [ 64 Lord. Alton Lemenaire. okay. Heir of the blood of the ck Goat. ] The god of remorse looked down at Alton with slightly amused eyes and said. [You mean youre going to deal with the challenger from the tower yourself? ] Yes! [ then can it be considered a 1:1 duel request ording to the rules of the cradle? ] Of course. Alton smiled and then continued talking while ring at me. Otherwise, its a disgusting thing to dismiss my familys arcane techniques as trivial hunting techniques. Could it be that he had a grudge against the remodeling and use of the ck magic [Wanderers Vortex]? Even if its a sphemous misceneous from the Tower of Trial that denies the god I serve, I want to finish it with my own hands as much as possible His words were filled with thorny emotions. no. At that time, he told me to try it himself. However, Alton saw me earlier and told me to remodel the ck magic himself. Thats why I followed his advice and lightly developed the dark magic [Cold Whirlpool] and arrived at the arena by space movement. But for some reason Alton didnt seem to like it. Perhaps, in addition to the position of Lord 62 obtained by defeating Alkaid, it seems that he wants to take revenge for the humiliation he received before. But the embarrassment didntst long. Come to think of it, does this seem normal? I was mistaken because I had fought before with a cold-hearted enemy like Alkaid. Having such absurd vengeance by nature is one of themon cases of enemies I have ever encountered. In the process of ascending to a levelparable to that of a godhead, he will be equipped with a level of thinking that can be said to be a normal psychopath. Its just that Alkaid is a bit out of those restrictions. Alkaid reached a levelparable to that of a god with ck magic, so he was rtively sane. But not Alton. Is it because he is an apostle serving the ancient god of despair, fall, and madness? At the same time he tended to reject me from the Tower, he showed an infinite greed for the position of Lord 62. Theres no way hes not a psychopath because he serves the craziest of the ancient deities. Thats why I epted Altons absurd hatred. It would be impossible to read and understand the mind of a psychopath anyway. After thinking for a while, looking at Alton, the god of remorse nodded and continued. [Its a very different development than I thought, but its enough for entertainment] He said that in a muttering voice, then looked around at the monarchs seated here and there and asked a question. [What do you mean? ] And I agree. Well, Lord Altons will, so we have no choice but to respect it. I agree. After all, what is Lord Alton like? Hes an apostle of God, right? Then you cant interfere. Khehehe. Do you know what to do? It is obvious that we will fight each other anyway. The monarchs who attended the meeting at the cradle did not show a very negative attitude. Outwardly, they are considerate and respectful of each other, so they have an attitude that they are not interested in anything . And it was easy to figure out what that meant. Could it be that he intends to use Alton like ab rat? Perhaps the monarchs dont think that all of them are irrelevant. In reality, you must be wondering how much power I have. And just in time, Alton imed to be ab rat, so the monarchs pretended not to, but allowed Alton to engage in a 1:1 duel. [Since the will of the monarchs is the same, I will allow your duel. ] Maybe Alton thinks he can pull out some meaningful information? [Lets fight each other with all our might from now on. ] Soon after, the god of remorse said that and announced the duel. Before I knew it, the god of remorse as well as the monarchs were looking down this way with sparkling eyes. Even Alton was spitting out a low voice, distorting the goats face with excitement. You can look forward to it. Alton spoke ferociously, as if there was no need to hide his murderous intent and hostility. Because Im not going to show any mercy to a son of a bitch who dared to insult my familys arcane practices and twisted them. [ . I will cut your throat and offer it to my god. [ Anyway. ] But I didnt really care. He knew that Alton wanted to take the position of Lord 62 anyway, and he was also aware of serving the god of despair, fall, and madness. Perhaps, as soon as he learned that he was a challenger to the tower, his hostility was multiplied several times. So, instead of resenting Altons hostility and his changed attitude, I licked my lips at the divinity I felt from him. Really [Because Im the one who wins anyway. ] I was looking forward to it. Although the duel itself with Alton was not expected, to be honest, the divinity itself was greedy. So far, the total number of spirit pieces obtained by defeating the apostles is two. On the 21st floor, there were Spirit Pieces obtained by killing Karnar Sagsis and an apostle serving the god of battle on Earth. So now, killing Alton will give you a chance to acquire a new divinity. Seeing this as an opportunity to gain a new divinity, I couldnt help but smile with anticipation, and I looked at Alton and my eyes lit up. What is all this arrogance The moment Alton clenched his fists, revealing his teeth as if he was displeased. [Enough. ] As it is, I cast ck magic while looking at Alton, grafting a new technique onto the Divine Armor. The god of transcendence gazes at an insignificant creature and sentences death. ck Halo [Now die. ] In an instant, the ck magic [ck Halo] shes light while drawing a ck halo. Thats like a dog again Alton widened his eyes as soon as he saw the ck halo, annoyed. Unfortunately, his words did not carry on to the end. Unnecessarily, before Alton could speak, he used the divine armor as a medium to activate the divine authority with the ck magic [ck Halo]. Using Divine < Death > Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. Divine < Death > can be strengthened with ck magic by [ck Halo]. Divine < death > wouldnt be immediately avable to an ancient deity apostle like Alton. Because beings with divine power have resistance to external divinity. However, the story is different when the ck magic [ck Halo] dwells. hot! The mighty power inherent in divinity? Even so, it doesnt reach me huh? Because it can lower the opponents external divine resistance itself, allowing them to die instantly. Divine < Death > reduces opponents divine power resistance with [ck Halo]. What is this? [ bye. ] Just like this. next moment. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Absorbed the spirit of Pandemonium Lord Alton Lemenaire. Absorbed the spirit fragment [3/3]. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the Lord, bringing her 6.1% closer to the 2nd Ascension. . Acquire the exclusive effect, Dark Magic Control (C+) as a special reward for < Ascension of Divinity > . I couldnt even resist and exploded. The end was far too absurd for a formal apostle serving an ancient deity. In the blink of an eye, a splendid fountain of blood and the scent of beasts spread everywhere, drawing eyes full of astonishment. And I took it all in stride and said it. [Now, this should have verified your skills, right? ] The time for proving something is over. [If all the monarchs do not join forces, it will be difficult to survive. ] So [All at once.] Now it was time to explosively umte the experience of Ascension. Chapter 308 308. Melee (4) All the pieces of the spirit have been gathered. The Spirit Shard [3/3] has met the charging requirement. You can select and acquire atent divinity by consuming the Spirit Shard [3/3]. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Hell >, < Track >, and < eleration >. . Even the names of the gods came out as things that could be used in their own way. Perhaps even choosing a divinity among them could have been quite a concern. But now is not the time to do that. Because Selection postponed. You can select and acquire atent divinity at ater time. It was because Altons death instantly quieted the hall. [ . ] Only Altons corpse, which still squirts bloody fountains, is just lying around as if to foretell future battles. All the monarchs sitting in the arenas seats looked down at this ce with hard faces. Did no one think that Alton would die with just one divine power? All of a sudden, each of the monarchs quickly rolled their eyes and seemed to be quickly thinking about this or that, as if counting gains and losses. To be honest, I didnt like the sight very much. [Did you not hear me? ] To that, I calmed my eyes coldly and said. [I would have said it was time toe down from there, right? ] It deserved it. I dont know how the god of remorse wille out, but now at least the angle to deal with the monarchs hase out. If so, wouldnt it be an opportunity to raise the percentage of the 2nd Ascension almost to the end? There is no reason to refuse a table that has been prepared. Even the god of remorse was a prudent person, so there was a high probability that he would not participate in battle. From the moment I confirmed that the power of the divinity < Death > could be amplified several times with the ck magic [ck Halo], the odds of winning increased significantly. Excluding the God of Remorse, there are 7 monarchs to deal with, so Ill be able to win enough. At most, the monarchs were only about to rise to the ranks of godheads. As I killed Alton, I showed some of my sides hand, so I think its probably difficult to kill him at once with the same reason Even so, if you stay on the edge of the official divine power, victory will be self-evident. And, as if they knew that, the monarchs looked this way as if they were very nervous, and then asked the God of Remorse to intervene. God of remorse. Could you please cancel the duel with the author? Thats right! The duel at the cradle is not decided by mutual agreement between the monarchs! At least I dont want to fight a monster like that. Its going to be dog death. Even though he hadnt shown his strength yet, he was greatly frightened. Does he seem like a coward for those who are strong enough to rival the godhead? And as I was squinting my eyes at him, I heard the sound of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword ringing in my ears. DIsnt that natural? Dam Chun-wu, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth. an apostle to the ancient deity. He was someone who might be able to destroy even a. But you killed it within seconds. [ . ] DEven if you use ck magic, there is no way that its value will fade. Youll probably feel like a monster over there. [Is that so] I can understand that to some extent. Perhaps they see me as a monster who killed the apostle of the ancient godhead in one blow. Therefore, even if the condition of one-to-many numerical superiority is met, there is no way that they would want to be openly hostile to this side. [ Cancel duel? no. There is no such thing. You will have to fight the author and win. ] However, the god of remorse seemed to have a different idea. [If you withdraw from this ce, wouldnt your prestige be damaged? ] What is that [As a monarch belonging to the proud cradle, I hope everyone will do their best] I hate poetry! Why do we have such a burden! As a member of Yo Yoram, I refuse The moment when an unknown male monarch with wolf ears shouted like that. [Everyone is misunderstanding something. ] The god of remorse spoke in an infinitely cold voice. [This is not Jane or a request. ] As if it didnt matter what the other monarchs here thought. [It just means that its worth the amount of food youve fed bugs like you. ] And. [ Did you really think there was no reason to create a duel club like a cradle and raise monarchs like you? ] Actually, it was. [These are hounds that have been bred for times like this, so if you suddenly refuse to hunt them, its troublesome. ] As soon as the god of remorse finished speaking, thick power flowed from him. The Myth < Seven Obedience Contracts > are automatically activated when the conditions are met. The Myth < Seven Obedience Contracts > converts the contractors into a subordination state and into apulsory contract fulfillment state. Only divinity can build. The ability of the myth that exists is activated. With Chara! In an instant, the chain extending from the god of remorse surged up to the seven demon realm lords. And all the demon lords stood up, creaking like marites as soon as the chain touched them. Its like watching a puppet being manipted clumsily. In fact, the monarchs in the audience at the arena were shocked to see the body moving against their own will. What! A real contract? Ive never heard anything like this! I didkun! haha! So, did you lead the monarchs all this time in order to use them like an asshole like this! Perhaps he didnt know that the god of remorse was ying tricks . And looking at it, I could read the origin of the power felt in mythology. [Is it a power that requires a long time to activate against an opponent designated as a myth? ] Is it because of the divine power he gained from killing Alkaid and Alton? Now, even if the system messages didnt reveal the content of the myth, the details behind it were also vaguely felt. Its still at a level that I cant say withplete certainty Nevertheless, the god of remorse seemed to be satisfied with his guess, but he nodded in satisfaction and replied in aughing voice. [Yes. Thats why you had foolish lords with you. Hundreds of years had to be spent fulfilling the triggering conditions for this myth. ] [ . ] [ Although they are at a level that can bepared to that of a god, there are no real gods. I didnt even know that I put my hand on it. ] [ That sounds like a vicious hobby. ] [ Hmm not really. After all, they are only those who coveted a high position in the cradle with my protection as the 17th lord. If its evil, wouldnt these guys do more? ] [I dont know ] Even if he clung to the god of remorse and took advantage of it, can this be justified? Perhaps if he had known he would obey like a dog, no one would have stuck to him. But I didnt feel the need to point it out. Because you dont have to do that. [But anyway, thats good news for me. ] I had a smile on my lips before I knew it, and my eyes shed fiercely. Anyway, the god of remorse had no intention of making a direct move. If so, have you decided what to do? next moment. Using Divinity < Transcendence > All abilities are out of the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range. All abilities in proportion to the level difference with the opponent. The growth rate of the species increases by [6] times. ] Just like that, I announced the start of the battle by shouting a brilliant golden divinity. *** Deed-! As soon as I used the divine < Transcendence >, I felt my strength greatly swell. By transcendence, all abilities are out of the set range. However, there was a sense ofcking a little. Isnt the growth rate only 6 times the multiplier It was understandable. Until now, the activating of the divine < Transcendence > had been a hand drawn against numerous formidable enemies. This time too, he thought that the rulers of the demon realm in front of him were threatening in their own way, so he wrote the divine < transcendence >. However, the efficiency of the divinity < transcendence > was not very good. This might not be enough. Its a situation where I have to activate the divine < transcendence >, but its not very efficient, so I cant help it. After all, right after he felt the need to mix another power besides divine < transcendence >. In the blink of an eye, he saw the seven lords rushing at him like lightning, and he activated his skill. Right away The skill Punishment is activated. All stats increase by +7 during the active time of the skill. Magic power is never consumed during the active time of the skill. The power of the dragon dwells in you, and your magical power increases by 100%. Punishment. An unmatched fraudulent skill thatpletely eliminates the consumption of mana. In addition to that, a skill with tremendous effects with various additional effects was activated. Originally, it could only be used by evil beings, but arent all enemies here the lords of the demon realm? Then, the activation of punishment can be regarded assting until the end of the battle. Then, I smiled and used the authority to increase the effect of punishment. The special power, Dragon Change is activated. The amount of magical power possessed is doubled for 10 minutes. Reproduces some of the characteristics of the dragon race for 10 minutes. For 10 minutes, all interference and operational abilities rted to magic increase. The skeleton of the body slightly twisted, the body grewrger, and two horns grew on the head. It reminds me of dragons Ive seen before. And at the same time, the amount of horsepower itself increased significantly. Now I can use my skills without thinking about the consumption of magic. In fact, most of the skills that use magic have lost their consumption value. Originally, the connection between the punishment skill and Yonginhwa was great, but after learning ck magic, the efficiency itself must have changed. Thats why I instantly switched my magic power to demonic energy. As I felt the absurd amount of demonic energy overflowing all over the ce in an instant, the lords who came down before me knew it kicked the ground. Among them, a red-skinned man with a cheerful expression shouted out loud. Kuhhh! Theres nothing wrong with this! If you cant avoid it anyway, just enjoy it!! Does that mean that he is not as unusual as someone who has risen to the position of a monarch in his own way? Before he knew it, unlike other monarchs, he threw away his rage and hesitation and went into battle without hesitation. He probably knew that he couldnt move freely until he killed me like this It was great. I will let the 53rd Lord Baizan Kasilium punish you!! Its just that his high spirits are regrettable because the opponent is me. [ okay? ] And. [Then, should I go with all my might? ] next moment. [It was a car I was curious about even if it wasnt. ] Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsu!!! The moment when darkness shimmered all over the body and a ck halo shone. Using Divine < Death > You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. Divine < Death > can dwell in ck magic by [ck Halo]. [ How far can you use ck magic? ] The newly created spell epted the divine power and increased its power. From now on, what I will do is simple. Right away Can I use ck magic enchanted with divinity? I will make the divine < death > dwell in ck magic. If there is no limit to the amount of magic power, you will have to adjust your attacks ordingly. So, instead of twisting the divine power with ck magic, I focused my consciousness only on making the divine power dwell in the ck magic. A means to make the most of the limitless magical power And. Ohe to think of it, I got something from Alkaid. The moment he recalled thest ck magic he saw in the decisive battle with Alkaid. [Going.] As it is, I used the dark magic trick that Alkaid had built up. Alkaid, the goblin lord who sat in a position that no one could look down on with only his offensive ck magic And now, the offensive ck magic remodeled by me has appeared, holding the divine < Death >. Pachijik! The sky dyed ck. There, round thunderclouds () filled with divinity gathered. Suddenly, in the center of the thundercloud, ck thunder like a beast of prey roared. next moment. [The shadow of the thunderbolt hiding in the darkness] Knocked out!!! Thunder struck the ground, staining everything with death. Chapter 309 309. Melee (5) [The shadow of the thunderbolt hiding in the darkness]. The principle of ck magic, which is inferred to be the special move of Alkaid, the goblin lord, was simple. It is a unique technique of ck magic that creates an electric current made of magic and drives it into the ground after passing through dozens of lightning amplifications. In fact, the principle itself is not that difficult. If I had to point out a difficult point, the degree of consumption of demonic energy and the ability to control the demonic energy that controls the thunder itself y arge role. At least it should have the same level of control as Alkaid, the master of ck magic. Excluding the required level of demonic control ability, it is not difficult to use. Altons dark magic [Wanderers Whirlwind], which has already be a cold corpse, is more difficult. However, there was a reason why he chose this ck magic nheless. Still, this one of Alkaids special moves is worth watching. Exactly Destructive power that surges without limit only by the consumption value of demonic energy. That was the essence of this ck magic and the reason why it was a skill that had to be chosen in the current situation. Currently, with the skill Punishment and the special power Forgiveness, there is no consumption of magical power. So, ordingly, I was able to pour out my magic energy endlessly, and the ck magics lightning amplification went beyond the limit. Kwachichichichichichik!! Thunder that has been injected thousands of times with the magic of electric shock amplification. Kwakjijijijijijik !!! The lightning, which seemed to turn the world ck, turned into a thunderbolt, drawing a line. Using Divine < Death > Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. Divine < Death > can be enshrined in ck magic by [ck Halo]. Even And even in the state of having received the concept power of divine < death >. Kwakjijijijikjik!! In an instant, the vast arena was filled with lightning, and the divine < Death > eroded the ce ordingly. And the result was really quite simple. The monarchs in the arena copsed like puppets with broken strings. And even thatmon death sentence, I couldnt even give it once. Chiiyi [This is why its below expectations. ] Only the smell of burning flesh rises from where the ck thunder passed. [I really didnt think this would kill them all] Now Iughed at the corpses that were half unrecognizable. In fact, I just enchanted the divine < death > to the ck magic I just learned, but the efficiency was ridiculously good. Should I say that I finally saw the essence of removing the mana consumption of the skill Retribution? Even among the battles that I have fought while using the skill Punishment so far, I can assure you that there is no link that can follow the application of this ck magic. In fact DThis is Dam Chun-wu, who had fought numerous battles together, seemed to have the same sentiment. DIs this truly a level that can be seen by those who have just reached a higher level of deity? It was as if at this point, beyond being shocked, he was dumbfounded. DEven if there is no divinity, to be able to instantly turn strong people who are close to the extreme into a handful of ashes And I was the same. In a previous conversation with Alkaid, it was said that the essence of ck magic is optimized for supporting something but when the divine power can be mixed with ck magic, the story has no choice but to be different. At this point, the offensive ability of ck magic itself can bebined with divinity to open up a new realm. Thats why I was very excited about ck magic, and then I thought about other monarchs who would be everywhere in the Pandemonium. What if I could gain knowledge about the dark magic of the lords of the underworld? I hadnt had a chance to see much about ck magic yet. At most, it would be a decisive battle with Alkaid, the goblin lord. However, high-ranking monarchs throughout the Pandemonium will be different. Perhaps there were people who had a different sense of depth than Alkaid, and if so, I could get their essence at once. Through non-standard talents who covet the essence of technology. If thats the case, its not actually a high-ranking deity, but a level beyond that To think that you can be stronger with skills without raising the level of divinity spread It was only then that I was able to seriously face the possibilities of non-divine abilities. In the future, if you encounter Moorim rather than the Demon World, you want to covet all the martial arts there. Its better to polish non-divine skills after the trial is over. There was even a reason to stop by Moorimter. Then, at that time, you will definitely be able to make advances in martial arts. But that was the story then, and now its time to covet the rewards of andslide victory. Absorbed themand of the demon lord Kroken Kasilium Absorbed themand of the demon lord Agrod Absorbed themand of the demon lord Kadiak Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the monarch brought him 14.9% closer to the 2nd ascension. As a special reward for < Divinity Ascension >, you will acquire the exclusive effect Lord yer (C+). From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will All stats increase by 10% when dealing with . Looking at the system messages in front of me, I felt a little disappointed. The reward isnt as great as I thought. It was worth it. The growth rate of Ascension obtained by killing Alkaid and Alton before was not this much. At least seven times ascension growth should have been achieved, but suddenly the growth of ascension was greatly slowed down. [ Does that mean that even ascension is not omnipotent at all? ] Its probably because the higher the Ascension fills up, the slower the growth rate. More than anything, the fact that they dont have any real momentum, unlike strong yers like Alkaid, would also y a part. Well, its an attractive advantage to be able to be infinitely stronger just by repeating victories. In the blink of an eye, divine power was umted in the heart, and the spirit of divinity and spirit shook as they tried to reach a high level. I can feel it. And I could vaguely notice what this shimmering sense of divinity meant. The state of the ancient deity is not that far away now. The depth of divinity was looking at the end of the higher deity. So far, I can only do nothing but look at the realm of ancient deity Perhaps, afterpleting the ordeal of this special ss, it will be possible to step into the realm of ancient deity. [Its a shocking sight] But it didntst long to inte expectations like that. [I cant imagine that all the dogs Ive raised so far will die so useless. ] It was because the tall old man, who was sitting in the seat of honor in the arena, said while clicking his tongue. [Even at the cost of these guys deaths, your achievements seem to have risen significantly] God of regret. In fact, Nogoe, who is the actual owner of the dueling club Cradle and at the same time the 17th lord of the Demon Realm, was shining in his eyes. A face that looks like a seeker who has discovered a new fact. He didnt even seem to care that the monarchs died all at once. [ Its calmer than I thought. ] Then, I put the question in my mouth with my eyes calmly submerged. [Even though all the monarchs raised in the cradle died. ] To the God of Remorse, the monarchs were a hand acquired over a long period of time. The power of mythology has long tamed strong men who have reached a levelparable to that of a god. So at least if he lost his monarchs, he should have had a look of regret, but the god of remorse was smiling as if there was nothing like that. [After all, monarchs are misceneous things without divinity, so there is nothing regrettable about them. ] [ . ] [ You cant visibly regret something like a writing instrument because it breaks. ] [ Youre insane if you sincerely think so. ] [ Does it look like that? ] The god of remorse burst intoughter and said. [But even if it is cruel, this is the truth. ] he said in a slightly hollow voice, as if nothing meant anything. [Everything is meaningless except for the godhead. Those who cannot deal with concepts are only bound by the realm of reality. Is there any difference between them and mortals? ] Only then did I realize what the god of remorse was iming. [In a word, it means that you fell into chauvinism. ] A state in which the old deity in front of me says that powers other than divinity have no value. Knowing the potential of ck magic itself and the techniques with the transcendental potential of martial arts, it didnt really appeal to me. Even the abilities of the tower, such as the skills and powers, areparable to the divinity. Although the fact that a formal deity deals with the conceptual realm is certainly a great merit, it cannot be argued that the deity is the pinnacle of all realms. At least thats what I was thinking. [ like. did it sound like that well. I was only telling the truth. Manipting the realm of the real isnt too difficult if you can handle the concept of abstraction. ] But the god of remorse didnt seem to be like that. [Those who really reach the level are only those who have reached the level of divinity, not skill or ability. ] Before I knew it, the god of remorse smiled coldly with his eyes narrowed. [And isnt that the same for you? Is it a myth or is it the power of the tower? Ive seen your divinity fluctuate greatly with each ying of a lord. ] I think I gathered the information by watching them deal with monarchs [So? ] Thinking of the god of remorse anyway, I didnt solve much useful information. At most, he only used techniques such as divine < transcendence >, < death >, and ck magic. There were still a lot of moves left, and there were a lot of paddles that could touch the opponents life enough. Thats why I didnt waver at the words of the god of remorse and asked back. [What can you do about the level of divinity? ] [ Divinity is the power to deal with concepts. Also, it is also about being recognized by the world and bing a true transcendental person. In that sense, you and I are special beings. ] [ Seon dialogues that arent trivial. ] [ -Its not like a Zen dialogue. I am only acknowledging and exining your character and your ever-growing power. So shut up and listen. ] [ Sounds absurd. ] At this point, this side doesnt even need to be formally respectful anymore. [Anyway, on a topic that the difference in ss isnt that great. ] In an instant, I raised the divine power from my heart and expressed my intention to live as it is. [But what do you believe in and rx like that? ] The moment when the divinity that reached right before reaching the highest level of higher deity revealed its status. In the blink of an eye, the area around the arena was dyed with golden divinity. And even in the torrent, the god of remorse maintained an unshakable face. He continued with his hair, white with the flow of time, flowing in a golden torrent. [Thats just believing in my divinity. ] The old monster, who had umted countless years in his body, pursed his lips as if enjoying this situation. [I told you. Divinity is said to be able to manipte the realm of reality by manipting concepts of abstraction. And my divinity is the best form of interfering with reality. ] [ . ] [ Regret is clinging to the past, not the present or the future. And thats why its possible to change things in the past. What would happen if I interfered with it to a level that exceeded the limit? ] [ What is that ] And. [Lets take a good look. ] next moment. Divinity < Remorse > meets the conditions and is automatically used. Divine < Remorse > is used, and the real area is partially manipted and applied. It will return to the state it was in before acquiring divinity. [Because this is the true value of divinity. ] As the god of remorse came down to the arena, his appearance changed to that of his youth. How is it? And it was no different for me. Due to Divinity < Remorse >, challenger Han Seong-yoon is in a state before acquiring Divinity. The power of remorse is to interfere with the past. And I chose to fight each other in an unholy past. In an instant, the armor of divinity that covered the body cracked and the divinity fell. Not even that. was going back to the past. This. Even before meeting the god of proof on the 11th floor while climbing the tower. In fact, Geomyeom is also going back to the days when it was just learned. Really, the power was fixed in the state before the divinity was acquired. As if the old monster in front of him had abandoned his divinity and regained his youthful appearance. Can you beat me? Just [Do you think you can win? ] I was only able to hold on to the fall of divinity. The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons Divine operation will have the Divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. . It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spiritual attack you possess. You can tune the formless power with the spiritual attack and apply the effect of the spiritual attack to that power. Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > the moment you block it. uh. Just like that, the confident eyes of the god of remorse shook like an earthquake. [Did you believe this and be so confident up until now? ] What is this [Isnt it? ] Heh heh heh heh heh So this uh Even wouldnt it be a draw? Even with a voice full of perplexity that I have never heard before. Chapter 310 310. Qualification test (1) God of regret. Said the old monster who had built up power as a godhead for a long time. Divinity is the power to twist the real world as an abstract concept. Therefore, he said that even if those who do not have a divinity canpare with a deity, their lives are not very valuable. I didnt know that it could mean something like this. In fact, the God of Regret had the power to say so. I narrowed my eyes at the supernatural ability of the divinity < Repentance > that was still strangling every part of my body. No way, even if there was a restriction of being in a 1:1 confrontation between the two, they would return each others state to the state before divinity acquisition. Are all my abilities going back to my mortal days? Divinity < Repentance > did not only lower the dignity of divinity. All stats, skills, power items, and many other powers are erased, and in the true sense of the word, return to the state of a mortal. The exclusive perk Absolute Preservation (SSS+) previously acquired in the Giant Tree Labyrinth was torn like a sheet of paper and allowed to be sealed by the opponents power. Even counter-type powers such as Divine < Reversal > did not activate. In fact, its a power thats close to the strongest among high-ranking deities. I was very surprised because it was the first time I had encountered a divinity that touched the concept of time. But is it because of the difference between the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > and each other? The god of remorse has now reached a level that is nothing more than what he fell for in his own tricks. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. As if he had an intuition of death, he was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat. The god of remorse, who had acquired the appearance of his youth, rolled his eyes here and there. It was worth it. Currently, he has lost all kinds of divinity due to divinity < remorse > and all his powers have returned to his mortal days. Now that the cause of his self-confidence has disappeared, he has no choice but to be nervous. God of transcendence. this is my mistake So, why dont we go to a draw this time? In fact, the god of remorse said so while breaking out in a cold sweat. [ tie? ] I had no ill feelings toward you. So, isnt that why youve saved so much energy? Lets be polite to each other like godlike. [To discuss courtesy between gods, isnt that a godhead anymore? ] uh. Thats um, so that could exin [I dont need to exin much. Because Im going to kill you now anyway. ] And I immediately looked at the god of remorse and raised the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. Perhaps, if the condition of 1:1 confrontation is satisfied, the god of remorse will not be able to return to the body of a transcendent. If so, wouldnt it be more efficient to deal with him on the spot instead of wasting time? Even more than anything, I was greatly interested in the divinities of the God of Regret and the potential inherent in it. Ive never seen a divinity that can indirectly touch the concept of time. It was worth it. Because the divinity < remorse > possessed by the god of remorse could touch the concept of the past. It seemed that a high level of operation would be possible as long as there was a high level of understanding of the concept, rather than a specific method. [I wanted to have the divinity rted to time even if it wasnt. ] And. Whoa! [Then die now. ] The moment I tried to defeat the god of remorse by swinging the blood demon sword. Now now now wait! You, you, you will never get my power! chuck. I stopped swinging the Blood Heaven Demon Sword at the sudden sound of remorse. [ what? ] Ha ha ha. Its because its a body thats been around for a long time. I have found out how your divinity is strengthened. [ . ] With a kind of spirit-rted ability, we collect and stock up on spirits, and if thats not enough, we raise the level of divinity with mythology. [ Its amazing. ] I never thought Id figured it out in that short time. In fact, it seems that I have found out the general information about necromancy and the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence > . In any case, information about me might be known to my enemies. And your power will not work on me now. However, the god of remorse continued as if he knew even that. Currently, I lost my divinity and returned to my mortal form. soul and divinity. None of that will be an attractive reward for you. And only then did I understand what he was saying. [In short, you mean that there would be nothing to be gained by killing now, right? ] Thats right. [Come to think of it, it must be so. It wouldnt be good to absorb the spirit, and if you dont have a divinity, you wont be able to get a divinity either. ] Okay, so Ill make a suggestion [I dont think so. ] ? But even so, I had no intention of listening to the god of remorse. There is no need to be fooled by the tricks of the God of Remorse. The god of remorse, who has regained his youthful appearance in front of him, is an old monster among old people. The proof is that he didnt show his strength until he learned information about me. The god of remorse is a slob who can thoroughly calcte gains and losses, and it was not good to give such a person room to do something. [Then, I should do what I want. ] So. [God of remorse. ] what what? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden? [Among the monarchs in the demon realm, do you know of those who are good at ck magic? ] What is that? There is no need to be fooled by the Nogoes tricks, and this side just needs to control him. [At least until that side regains their strength, this side should make good use of their time. ] Even if it wasnt so, I wanted to deeply explore the possibility of ck magic that I saw in the melee with the monarchs. [Lets go learn ck magic. ] Perhaps from now on, it will be an interesting ck magic training. *** Time passed quickly. Achievement Real Devil has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. Reward level obtained from achievement has been increased from [Grade E] to [Grade D] It rises. The skill Pure Malice (D) is created. Makai (ħ). There was a lot of really fun things to learn in a world where only evil beings live. Should I say that I regret once again that I had underestimated the value of pure skills by focusing on skills, powers, and divine abilities? There are really many interesting things in the Pandemonium At this point, there are more insights gained from exploring the Pandemonium than fighting with the gods. Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! God of remorse!! You crazy bastard! you you! What kind of monster did you bring!! Heh heh. Ga family arcane form? Crazy guy! Did you just terrorize the territory with something like that!! Many demons gave visions of ck magic, shedding bloody tears. There are really a lot of sorcery. There were too many types of spells to count. Elemental magic, body strengthening magic, regeneration magic, etc Every time I visited the old masters of the demon realm and obtained their arcane magic, my ck magic progressed quickly. Achievement Master of Element Application-type ck Magic has been achieved.] Achievement Master of Physical Activation-type Dark Magic has been achieved] Achievement Master of Regeneration Promotion-type Dark Magic has been achieved It reached a level where counting the ck magic you couldnt do was faster than the ck magic you could do before you knew it . DAt this point, isnt it okay to be a ck magician now? Even Dam Chun-wu, who watched the process, said so. Countless demons and demons became a handful of blood. There were demons that reached the same level as Alkaid, and there was also a master of ck magic that reached an even higher level. But even so, the end was all the same. Hehehehehe!! You are arrogant ck magician!! Do you think you will see the end of the road only with your talent!! Achievement Arcane Spell Snatcher has been achieved. I have achieved Great Master. He ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! three worlds! The world will perish! A monster is being born!! Aplishment Worst Talent achieved. In the end, all the ck magicians spat out their spells and died. [ Its easy. ] Even though I didnt use any divine power, the progress was not blocked. It didnt even take that much time to defeat the ck magicians all over the demon realm. At most, a day or so had passed. But, unlike that, there were many rewards. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the monarch brought him 11.9% closer to the 2nd ascension. As a special reward for < Divine Ascension >, you will acquire the exclusive effect ck Mage (A+). From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will You can get additionalpensation for ck magic. In fact, isnt he now more capable than any wizard the Earth has ever seen? His achievements in ck magic were deep enough to think so. A state in which the growth of ascension is made again and the divinity can go beyond the ancient deity level. At the very least, it seemed certain that he would be an ancient deity by clearing this specialyer. Satisfied with that, I continued the work I had been putting off while wiping off the blood from my hands. Its nothing else The spirit piece [3/3] has met the required charge level. You can learn it. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Hell >, < Track >, and < eleration >. The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an optionter. [Come to think of it, kill Alton. and attained divinity. ] Previously, he had a chance to acquire divinity by killing Alton, who was the 64th Lord and an apostle of the ancient Godhead. Its just that the acquisition of divinity itself was not prioritized until now, so acquiring divinity was dyed. And now, as we were nearing the end of the ck magic, there was time to get a new divinity. [I think I know roughly what it is all about ] It was guessed which of the apostles each of these choices came from. Karnar Sagsis divinity < Hell >, Kramashs divinity that served the god of battle < Pursuit >, and Altons divinity < eleration > It was nt very interesting. For now, Karnar Sagsis divinity < Hell > had already been seen before, so he passed it on, and his divinity < Pursuit > and < eleration > were his eyes. But even this didntst that long. Neither the divine < Hell > nor the divine < Pursuit > are likely to be very good, so this would be better. Thats also the case [Selectionplete.] [Divinity < eleration > is reced with potential.] At least, it was decided what to choose. Divinity < eleration > is used. All abilities of challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly elerated and be faster. After acquiring Divinity, I was able to know what this Divinity < eleration > was. Is it really just the power to increase speed without doing anything else? All kinds of abilities move at a speed that transcends human knowledge, and even the movement speed of the body is no longer human. But at best it was only worth that much. It was not at the level of functioning as a kind of concept area, and it seemed impossible to use it widely. In fact, I could see that this is not a very meaningful concept that can be applied and carried around in an always-activated form. [Still, its better than nothing. ] And. [God of remorse. Thats it. Lets go to the ce where another warlock is. ] The moment I turned my head and asked the God of Remorse for a guide. Heh heh heh heh heh The god of remorse with ck dead eyes smiled dejectedly. Its like being alive feels like despair. Only then did I realize Use of Divine < Remorse > will be stopped due to the end of time. Use of Divine < Remorse >, the manipted reality area will return to its original state . disappears. [ Can I just kill myself? ] [ No. ] [ .] Now the time hase to obtain the Divine < Remorse >. Chapter 311 311. Qualification test (2) Transcendence. It is the end of a certain concept and the seat of divinity that is reached through the worship of many. In any world, there were quite a few people who attained divinity, and the God of Regret was one of those cases. He did not even stop at gaining divinity, but advanced to a higher ce even in the position of godhead. A divinity that gained the divinity of the conceptual realm from a mere mortal and advanced to a high level of immortality in the true sense. Is this really the right god? The God of Remorse objectively knew what level he was at. Compared to the ancient godhead, he was like a child. However, in spite of this, it reached an infinitely high level when viewed from the standard of a formal godhead. However, such a god of remorsepletely lost his will to fight. [ Ive never seen a monster like you in my life. ] The god of remorse nced at the blood-soaked earth andughed dejectedly. [I guess today will be thest for this old man. ] No. [God of transcendence. ] To be more precise, he smiled at a man on the other side of the bloody earth. The god of transcendence looks at the prey in front of him with interest. ] Exactly [ Now that the ck magic training is over. ] It was Han Seong-yoon. In less than a day, he seeded in killing numerous warlocks and stealing all the arcane forms. Even without covering the type of ck magic. The god of remorse was well aware of the absurdity of what the monster in the form of a young man in front of him had done. [ its not enough to steal all kinds of spells just by looking at them, to be able to remodel the spells themselves. Ive never seen such talent. ] It deserved it. The level of ck magic that Han Seong-yoon had mastered by exploring various parts of the Demon Realm was clearly out ofmon sense. A talent for mimicry, like putting a picture under thin paper and following it. Considering the meaning of the concept of a technique, this cannot even bepared to drawing something like a picture. The sensitivity of the ck magic itself is considerable, and it is not enough to have iprehensible intuition. Nevertheless, Han Seong-yoon never treated it as difficult. Isnt that a true monster? So the word came out of the mouth of the god of remorse whether it was okay tomit suicide. But there was something else even more shocking. The monstrous young man in front of him did not have only a talent for mimicry. Beyond that, the essential principle itself can be intuitively and analyzed to understand and remodel. At this point, it seems to be a truly reverse talent that requires a folding of the godhead. Talent? The god of remorse wondered if such a thing could be called a talent or something now. The ck magicians who had been praised as one of the greatest geniuses in the Pandemonium so far called the young man in front of them a monster and died. That is no longer a talent, but a power that has reached a kind of authority. [ Maybe I cant beat you. So can you give me a life If you do, I willpensate you with anything. ] The god of remorse asked to be saved as if he had made a desperate resolution. [Dont you want to know the truth about the tower? If so, let me know! And I can tell you what it is like to be in this demon realm and what it means to be the supreme monarch] But that didntst long either. [ lie. ] In an instant, Han Seong-yoons eyes changed and shed like those of reptiles. The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects lies in the opponents words. [You probably dont know anything about the tower. ] The god of remorse was immediately seen through the towers skill. And the god of remorse choked his breath. Whatever it was , he realized that he could not ovee the situation with his main skill, scheming . [ Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. ] And. [Did the tower really raise a monster that could annihte the gods?] The moment the god of remorse realized that death was really near. [Damn it] The god of remorse immediately threw away the pretense and revealed it to Han Seong-yoon. [If you cant escape, just get rid of it!! ] The god of remorse, which regained power in the blink of an eye, scattered white divinity and spewed bloody murderous intent. It was like a beast that had been quietly hiding, revealing its ws. In fact, it was. [Even if your status is looking at the end of a higher level deity, I am also a deity who has achieved immortality. ] The god of remorse, as befits a strong man who has reached a higher level of deity, has a high status. Its just that I lost it before because of the absurd failure of the divine < repentance >. The god of remorse, having nowpletely ruled out the thought of running away, screamed ferociously, contorting his face in rage. [Now I wont be easily defeated!! ] And after hearing that, Sungyoon Han answered with a smile. [ okay? ] The divinity between each other is not so different. [Its fine even if you dont. ] However, Han Seong-yoon did not show an inch of hesitation. [With this, you will be able to see the results of your growth. ] I just said that as if I was expecting what I would get from the battles that were toe. and. The god of transcendence smiles as he looks at his prey. [Go. ] next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! As it was, divinities with different colors overflowed and collided. *** Deed!! A white light shed in an instant, and the god of remorse exploded with power. Unlike the divinity < repentance > seen in the battlefield of the cradle before, all the power umted as a divinity really overflows. And the meaning of that doesnt just stop at the expression of power. damn cracked armor of divinity? So far, the divine armor that has been strengthened by raising the percentage of ascension in the demon realm has been broken. Even by the remnants of the power revealed by the god of remorse. If it continues like this, the divine armor itself will probably break and the body will be exposed to the outside world. Thats why I increased the concentration of the Divine Armor and supplemented the Divine Armor with the ck magic [ck Halo]. Its stronger than I thought. The power of the god of remorse revealed with desperate determination was not to be taken lightly. To the extent that I could feel on my skin that I had reached a higher level than even the least evil god. Even the god of remorse used quick movements, leaving only afterimages in a blur due to his excellent physical abilities. Kwaaang-! [I hope, please, just die gracefully!! ] Before I knew it, the god of remorse approached me and struck a blow dyed in white. However, the divine armor supported by the ck magic [ck Halo] cannot be broken to this extent. As it was, I frowned and activated various skills and powers in turn, creating a ck starlight right in front of me. Kii-i-i-i-!! The power skill Starlight is activated, creating a starlight containing divine < death >. [What! ] Still, is it because he gained various experiences while building his own status as a god? The remorseful god seemed to realize that the power of the holy light was like a kind of dynamite. He probably didnt know that he would take out the holy light like a self-destructor in a confrontational state Anyway, in a state protected by the divine armor, I was confident that I wouldnt be hurt even by the explosion of the holy light. [Are you really going to be a crazy person!! ] And, assuming to what extent even that fact, the god of remorse quickly stepped back. My power skill, Starlight, is slowed down by < Time of the Penitent >. ] Even that is a myth, dying the activation of the holy light. Is it a myth that roughly interferes with the concept of time? Just as the divine < repentance > can interfere with the concept of time, he put a time limit on the use of the holy light. Perhaps, even if I use the holy light as it is, it will explode like a kind of slow motion. If so, the power of the holy light could not reach the god of remorse. Maybe its because hes a divinity that handles the divinity < repentance >, so he has a lot of abilities rted to the concept of time. But it didnt matter too much. [ Behaving annoyed. ] After all, if you have newly acquired powers, this will be just an annoying restriction. Divinity < eleration > is used. All abilities of challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly elerated and be faster. ] It was simple. Pushing the time slowdown restrictions ced on the Holy Light by the god of remorse by force. That was the method of destruction I chose. If you speed up enough to make up for the slowdown anyway, the starlights deceleration wont be a problem. [What is this!? ] The moment when the god of regret, who had gone as far away as possible, widened his eyes in amazement. [Just die. ] Just like that, I said that to the god of remorse as if it were annoying, and burst into a holy light. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In an instant, ck starlight spread everywhere as if writhing, staining thend of the demon world with death. Even if it was a formal godhood, it would vomit blood and the divinity would copse just by touching it. There was nothing different about being a god of remorse. [ shit! ] Before I knew it, the god of remorse exploded with the white divinity and exerted its power again. Could it be that they are trying to erase the Holy Light with divine power? I thought so for a while but the god of remorse wasnt that hectic. In the blink of an eye, the god of remorse moved as far away from the casting range as possible and prepared to run away. The god of remorse leaps into the surrounding space by divine < leap >. Spatial jump. Even that was cast in space movement that touched the realm of divinity. It was amazing. I never thought I would have the divinity to run away like that. He also has a variety of divinities. But surprises are surprises, and they didnt matter too much anyway. [Ive already gotten tired of space jumps. ] He would too [Dont think that you can escape. ] Arent you familiar with space-type abilities while dealing with warlocks all over the world? It wasnt that I had unnecessarily coveted different secrets of dark magic until now. Dark magic, which has now grown to the point of beingparable to Alkaid, can meaningfully limit the power of the divine. Just like this. [Space copse of the oldest ruler] A kind of arcane form learned by defeating an unknown ck magician. Tsutsutsu! As soon as it was used, there was a roar in the blink of an eye, and a new supernormal ability nestled in my hand. I think I know roughly how to use it. Its the first time Ive used it myself, but I didnt feel much difficulty in using it. Because I could already instinctively figure out how to use it. Even if you leap into space with the power of the divine, it is only possible if the space is intact to go beyond the space in the first ce. If so, wouldnt it be obvious what to do? [God of remorse. ] The ck magic [space copse of the oldest ruler] doesnt just copse space. If I had to question it, should I say that I have the control over the space in my hands? Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that how to break the space depends on the skill of the user. Just like right now. [Perhaps running away seems to be his specialty] The moment he grabbed hold of empty space by utilizing his spatial dominance. [See for yourself how far you can escape. ] Just like that, the entire space copsed, breaking like windows hit by a truck. So, so, so, so! [If so, the end will be fixed.] And that was very fancy. Chapter 312 312. Qualification test (3) All over again! In an instant, the entire space was shattered terribly, interfering with the divinity of the God of Remorse < Leap >. Escape is now impossible. Even if its space movement using divinity anyway, doesnt it work only when there is at least a space to move? In that case, all I had to do was copse space so that I couldnt use space movement at all. Perhaps it was decided what would happen if the god of remorse did not have enough depth to control the conceptual domain of the divinity < Leap >. Right away Divinity < Leap > will be stopped due to space copse. ] They could not withstand the copse of space and failed to leap into space. The god of remorse, which had been thrown out due to the interruption of the sacred < Leap >, screamed as it rolled on the blood-stained floor. It was worth it. The God of Remorses arm was as if it had been crushed by something, and that was the cost of the failure of space movement. Did a part of the body get caught up in the copse in the process of leaping into space? Perhaps the body, which had to cross the space arbitrarily by leaping into space, was caught in the aftermath of the copse of space as well. Even so, he sensed the copse of space and pulled his body out immediately, although at most he lost an arm. Nevertheless, the pain of having his arm swallowed up in space and copsing is beyond imagination. However, there was no time for the god of remorse to adjust to the intense pain. That would be the case too Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! [ !! ] All of a sudden, the holy light imbued with the divine < Death > drove the god of remorse as if it were swallowing it. Even if the god of remorse spread the distance by avoiding the light of the holy light, the ck starlight with the divine < eleration > was never slow. The god of remorse, caught in the ck explosion, screamed like a beast and was exposed to the ck starlight. And at the same time, feeling that the divinity < Death > had reached the ce where the essence of the god of remorse resided, I was sure of victory. I won. Divine < Death > has the power to stain everything with death. And if such a divinity had seeded in prating into the body of a higher deity, it was no longer worth discussing victory or defeat. Even the god of battle couldnt use his strength properly when the divinity < Death > was eroded. However, it is impossible for someone like the god of remorse to bear the power of the divine < Death >, which has now be a higher deity and has risen to a deeper realm. Actually [ Gap! ] Before I knew it, the god of remorse sat on the floor and vomited ck dead blood. Still, I tried to activate divinity as much as possible to see if I still had the will to fight but the divine power dwelling in the heart of the god of remorse was no longer under his control. Divine < Remorse > has been eroded by Divine < Death >, so the activation is canceled. Chijijik! [How can this be like this] The god of remorse sat on the floor and stared at his right hand in dismay. It seems that he is trying to gather as much divinity as possible and concentrate it in his right hand All the divine power from his heart disappeared as if it were oxidized in the air without even forming its proper form. [The divinity cannot form? ] Should I say that it is the result of the divinity < Death > being applied to the limit? With this, the god of remorse, who could now interfere with the concept of time, could not afford to do anything. Perhaps the god of remorse had a lot of power left. Whether it was a divinity or a myth, he could have created enough variables, and he might be able to continue a meaningful battle with it. But now it wasnt like that. [Thats why I should have fought instead of running away from the beginning. ] The moment I spoke to the god of remorse, who copsed on the blood-stained earth, in despair. [If that happened, something might have been different, right? ] [ This this this!! ] [ Its self-employed. ] [ Worms!! ] In an instant, the eyes of the god of remorse were bloodshot, and a voice full of rage came from him. [Are the worms in the tower that havent even been eaten dare mocking me?! ] As if throwing away everything she had saved face up to now, she vomited blood and cursed at the same time. It wasnt something I couldnt understand. Divine and mythic powers still in hand, dying without ever using them? Perhaps even if I was a god of remorse, I would have been furious at the thought of not having fought a proper fight. However, his unfair cry did notst that long. That would be the case too Kwajijik-! It was because the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword dug into his heart. [Ouch! ] Not even that. Using Divine < Death >. You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. [ Quaaaaaaa!! ] Soon, the moment when the divinity < Death > flowed into the de to expedite his death. [Just shut up and give me your divinity. ] As it was, I drew a grin filled with deep greed and coveted the spirit flowing from the god of remorse. Absorbed themand of Regret, the god of remorse. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 12.9% closer to the 2nd ascension by winning against the god. And. The divinity in themand of Regret, the god of remorse, has been captured. The authority sacred power is activated by satisfying the conditions. The divinity extraction seeded. The next moment. You have absorbed the spirit of Rigret, the god of remorse, and have satisfied the special conditions. You can acquire one of the divinities possessed by the spirit of Rigret, the god of remorse. The potential divinity that can be currently acquired is < Repentance > < Leap > < Survival > < Seclusion > < Maniption > < Betrayal > . It came to mind. [ ats. ] Now, the time to acquire a new divinity has arrived. *** Capturing the divine power that filled my heart before I knew it, I smiled. [Your divine power has gone up a lot. ] It deserved it. The current situation where he absorbed the spirit of the god of remorse and extracted divine power from him. Even from the divine powers he had dealt with so far, he had obtained divine power, so now the power of divine power was on the verge of growth. Its wonderful. And the growth of divine power means that another use of divine power bes possible. What will I be able to do again using the divine power this time? As I was enjoying the anticipation for a while, I heard a voice in my ear. Its nothing else DI never thought that even a high-level deity could be defeated so easily. It was Damcheonwoo. DReally, its not a waste to be called a monster now [No. Its just that the god of remorse got caught in his trick. Originally, it should have taken more time. ] DAh. Well, since the erosion of the divinity < death > took ce more easily than expected, the god of remorse died without doing anything. [Perhaps the God of Remorse had a trump card. ] And after replying like that, I smiled as I looked at the corpse of the god of regret. [Well, now I cant figure out what that trump card is. ] The god of remorse was certainly a strong man who had reached a high level. So, isnt the armor of divinity cracked as if it would break like that before mixing the ck magic [ck Halo]? However, the god of remorse chose to evade instead of face-to-face. I can only drive the god of remorse into a corner in the process. If the God of Remorse hadnt tried space leaping itself and had justunched another attack, the story would have been different. But now it didnt make any sense. [Still, I know what to get, so I dont have to worry too much. ] Thats why I focused on the system message that popped up right in front of my eyes. Divine choice. There were quite a few divinities that could be extracted from the spirit obtained after killing the god of remorse. Its just a w that there isnt a divinity among them that Im very attracted to. I dont know why, but most of the gods of remorse had divinities with a sense of distance from battle. So its useless to think for a long time about what to get out of these. After all, I already know which of these divinities to acquire is the best. Selectionplete. Divinity < Repentance > is reced with potential. [ Divinities that can interfere with the concept of time are not thatmon. ] Having chosen Divinity < Remorse >, I immediately focused on the divinity that had newly settled in my heart with twinkling eyes. However, even though he contemted the divinity dwelling in his heart, he could not immediately know its contents. Whatever it is, it seems that it is better to do it yourself than to see it . Divine < Remorse > is used. Can interfere with the past concept of time. However, if the interference is unrted to the user of Divine < Remorse >, the activation of Divinity is canceled. I was able to notice what I could do with it. [ . ] Remorse is the power thates from obsessing over the past. And because of that, I was able to touch the concept of the past, and the range that could be used was wide. After thinking for a while, I figured out how to use the Divinity < Repentance >, and immediately deployed the Divinitys power to the outside. Whoops. DThis is and as soon as I saw it, a confused voice flowed from the Blood Demon Sword. DCould it be that time stopped? It was worth it. Because the flow of time in the ce where the divine < remorse > unfolded was slowing down before I knew it. The wind that blew everywhere in the Demon Realm, the dark clouds floating in the purple sky, even the magic power spreading in the air In the blink of an eye, the flow of time applied to this ce slowed down. But time doesnt stop. [ not that time has stopped, but rather has slowed the flow of time. ] Then I continued talking while touching the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. [ With Divine < Remorse >, it seems that you can now interfere with the concept of time around you to some extent. ] only slowed down the flow of time by focusing it on the past. However, whether there is a limit to the scope of application, it is difficult to slow down the flow of time as I get further and further away from where I am standing. And more than anything else, the consumption of divine power also increased. At the very least, it could be said that it became clear that it was not a divinity that could be applied in a wide range. But, perhaps that was enough surprise, Dam Chun-wu smiled. -hot! Is this the divinity possessed by higher deities? At this point, I cant even name a tolerable deity. [But its not a very useful ability. ] DIs it because there is a means to destroy the consumption of divine power and even if the flow of time is slowed down to some extent? [ Thats right. ] It probably wouldnt be very effective in battles between gods. [ but thats only when the power is applied in a wide range. ] However, that does not mean that there is no way to use it at all. [Maybe a narrower category and more usage if its rted to me. ] It would be possible to turn back time in a certain zone with the sacred < Remorse >. Well, it would increase the consumption of divine power and narrow the range of application, but it was unusual to be able to turn back time. Perhaps, if I polish it enough, it willter be my ability to rival the regressors worn-out wristwatch (SSS+). And I liked that I could use it freely. Maybe theres a way to apply this to ck magic. Among the possibilities possessed by the divine < Remorse > was the ability to reduce the cooldown of the system. If it could be applied to the ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration], it was worth expecting. I dont have a high level of understanding of the divine < repentance > yet, so I cant show you how to use it very high. And if I apply this to the transcendence myth, I might be able to go against the tower. Still, if you raise your proficiency enough and reach the level of an ancient deity, something will change. Thinking back then, this divine < remorse > was well worth having. It was time to continue thinking about this and that divine < remorse >. damn [ . ] Suddenly, the time slowdown effect of divine < Repentance > was removed and the space split. -You are an uninvited guest. As it was, the activating of the divine < Remorse > stopped, and someone appeared beyond the cracked space. [ A challenger from the tower. ] Its nothing else [Congrattions on defeating the God of Remorse, the 17 Lords. ] Suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler with a chauvinistic divinity appeared. no way. Even of a divinity that I have certainly seen once somewhere. The first-ss apostle Kazura is polite to the god of transcendence. ] Exactly [The devils servant. ] ancient deity. Among them, a being that has already met and received favor. The first-ss apostle chosen by the Demon God appeared here. [The Demon God rmends you to take the qualification test for the position of the supreme monarch.] Even that with the clear conditions of the trials of the special ss. Chapter 313 313. Qualification test (4) Kazura. An apostle who serves one of the ancient deities, the Demon God. I couldnt help but frown when I saw the middle-aged butler who appeared before my eyes. What is this again? He would be like that too To think that the demons apostle would suddenly appear as soon as he killed the god of remorse. I couldnt understand why the demon worshiping apostle had appeared here and for what purpose. Even if the devil suddenly suggested it, I cant guess much Its even more so because Ive never really pretended to be in a rtionship with a demon. It was a temporary cooperative rtionship with the Demon God we met in the giant treebyrinth, and we didnt have a bad impression of each other. Its just that the demons intentions themselves are difficult to read, so they dont feel very wee. But if thats not the case, theres no way the Demon God would bother sending an apostle to do harm, so the apostle in front of him probably came to rmend a real proposal. If so, the possibility that it is a trick is scattered. [Its a qualification test. ] Then, I quietly looked at Kazura and asked a question. [Is that a suggestion that the Demon God rmends because he is me? ] [ No. Not so. You only have the right to take the qualification test when you kill six high-ranking monarchs in the Pandemonium. ] [ . ] [ It doesnt matter that you are a challenger from the Tower. It was only because the demon god met the conditions that he rmended a qualification test. ] [ I think you know what it is. ] Only then did I find out what this was all about. I can understand the situation to some extent. Contrary to what I thought, the Demon God did not offer me a personal proposal. -If you kill 6 high-ranking monarchs, you will be qualified to challenge the current supreme ruler of the Pandemonium, Baal-sama. I had heard from Alton, now a cold corpse. If you kill 6 or more high-ranking monarchs, you will be eligible to challenge the position of the highest monarch. So, Im guessing this is more like a kind of qualification obtained by killing high-ranking lords rather than a personal proposal from an ancient deity, the Demon God. [This means that the Demon God did not give a separate order, but only suggested it because the conditions were met. ] In fact, Kazura nodded and replied as if he was right. [ Thats right. ] Kazura continued speaking politely. [So far, many people have qualified for the challenge, and most have refused the Demon Gods qualification test. ] [ . ] [ So it doesnt matter if you step away from here. ] [ In effect, youre saying Im going to step down. ] [ Yes. Most of the ones Ive seen so far are like that. And above all, you are from the Tower. ] [ So? ] [The Tower must have judged that more than this was a useless waste of power anyway. So I dont even think youll take the qualification test. ] [ That sounds really interesting. ] Kazura probably thinks that the Tower cares for me as one of its strength The Tower didnt care for me as much as he thought. waste of power? No way. If I really thought it was a waste of power, the tower would have given me only trials that I could handle. So far, I have been close to death several times. Perhaps if you were unlucky, it wouldnt be strange if you actually died a few times. I just survived because I had at least a trump card in whatever form. And considering the case of the future that the god of proof said, the tower would not change this policy. At least the tower intends to push me to the limit until it achieves its goal. So ] Until then, wouldnt it be more efficient for me to push myself as much as possible ording to Tops idea? [Ill ept. ] Currently, not much time remains until a new ascension takes ce. [ So lets move on quickly without wasting time. ] Perhaps you can find out in the qualification test for the position of supreme monarch. The god of transcendence smiles at the thought of the new power he will gain. ] From now on, what kind of ancient godhood will be reached by ascension? *** Tsutsutsu! The True Blood Demon Sword (A)s exclusive effect, Blood Feeding, is activated. Absorbs arge amount of blood, increasing the items grade to S-ss (85000/85000). Rating The number reaches the point where growth is possible, and the item grows from S-rank to S+-rank. The Blood Demon Sword, which absorbed the blood from the corpse of the god of remorse, achieved growth. Is it because of the fact that he has constantly obtained blood through the Cradles arena and other warlocks? Suddenly, the level of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword grew rapidly and reached the S+ level, and ordingly, the blood flow from the Blood Heaven Demon Sword also increased. Not even that. Thanks to the scabbard obtained on the 21st floor, the actual performance has increased several times. The scabbard of a swordsman who pursued mystery (SSS-). A kind of support item that allows B+ grade or higher sword items to grow every 48 hours was steadily improving the performance of the blood demon sword. This is the same for the Fallen Sword, but Compared to the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, which elerated its growth by preying on the blood of countless people, honestly, it wascking. Still, the broken sword is steadily raising its rating, so it will be able to grow soon. The moment he finished thinking like that and looked at the Blood Heaven Demon Sword with anticipation. True Blood Heaven Demon Sword Rating: S+ Reaction speed +197% Attack speed +207% Magic response +301% Current < Absolutely Undestroyable > status applied A famous sword that was once one of the treasures of the blood demon religion of Murim.

Blood Eater, when you designate and kill an opponent with the Blood Demon Sword, absorbs the opponents blood into the de to increase overall item performance and achieve random skill imprints. Up to three, and the imprinted skill does not cost anything other than the cooldown. As expected. As expected, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword had grown significantly this time as well. To be honest, the merits of Swordsmans Scabbard (SSS-) in Pursuing Mystery should be great, but I had no choice but to be satisfied with this. After raising the level of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, it would be right from a bnce point of view to newly increase the performance of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. Only then did I turn my head and look at Kazran. [ I dont understand. ] Kazran mumbled with his eyes closed. [Why dont you refuse the qualification test? ] Suddenly, his eyes were filled with curiosity. [Among the challengers that the tower has raised, monsters like you are rare. ] [ . ] [ At least among the sessful ones, we can now name the strongest of the previous challengers, so why is the Tower wasting energy like you? ] [ . ] [ Among the lightsaber system and the failures, there will be no one to oppose except for that monster. I really dont understand what youre asking for. ] [ Thats it, I dont know. ] And listening to Kazran, I was able to get some information. Among the challengers raised by the tower, I am close to being the strongest. It wasnt that interesting because it was information I had guessed anyway. In fact, I already knew deep down that I was close to the strongest among the challengers to the tower. However, it was true that I was a little surprised about the lightsaber system and the fact that it was a failure. I never thought that even though I had risen to the level of a higher deity, a deity subordinated to a tower like the lightsaber system could be said to be equal to this one. At that time, I didnt know because it appeared with a small light, but I thought it was that much. But there was also more interesting information than that. Its a failure. Among the challengers raised by the tower, there are those who are called failures. And that failure was on the level of beingparable to me and being called a monster even by someone like Kazran. In a word, it must mean that there is a monster-like existence among the challengers who went against the towers will. In other words, the fact that it was a failure meant that it had reached the level of an ancient deity, and if so, there was an existence that could be guessed at. Its interesting. It was only now that I began to feel that something was starting to take shape. Its close to being able to see the end of the tower now. It was worth it. Although the number of floors that have climbed the tower is still low, the level is not lowpared to the top floor. Thats why even Kazran, an apostle favored by the ancient deities, spoke like that. Even if I achieve ascension this time, I will be able to truly set foot in the world of ancient gods. Then I can really see the end of the tower. That is why the qualification test is important. The rewards to be obtained in the process of obtaining the position of the first Lord, Baal, will not be small. Even if it bes a desperate fight where I might die, that would be the case. It was about risking ones life anyway, but now that Im used to it, I had to do it all the more. But Kazran didnt know that, so he couldnt easily shake off the confusion. [Why] And I said it as if I was dumbfounded. [I think Im wondering why the tower sent me to the qualification test. ] [ . ] [Then, lets ask the other way around. ] [ What is that? ] [ Why do you think that taking the qualification exam is a waste of energy? ] I didnt say it with the intention of smirking at Kazran. I only asked because there was information I could glean from Kazrans story. Perhaps with this, he could get a clue to read the towers thoughts in depth. In reality, as soon as Kazran was asked that question, negative emotions shone in his eyes, and his lips suddenly moved with anger in his voice. [Thats of course] Now its to the point where I feel cold. [ no. I made a mistake. This isnt what were talking about here. ] However, Kazran trembled and shook his head, pressing his lips together. [Its the towers thoughts anyway. You, who are below it, should know better. ] And just like that, Kazran calmed down and said with cold eyes. [ rather than that, were now ready to move. ] Hard-. In an instant, a purple portal opened where there was nothing, and Kazran politely guided them there. [Go away. ] Its nothing else [To the ce of the qualification test where the first monarch Baal is. ] The end of the special ss ordeal was approaching before anyone knew it. Chapter 314 314. Qualification test (5) In the blink of an eye, a wide hallway appeared. [ . ] I followed Kazrans guidance and crossed the purple portal Contrary to what I thought, it wasnt that special because it was the ce where the qualification test for the position of the 1st monarch was held. If I were to question it, should I say that it is simr to the forts I have seen while traveling around the Pandemonium? And Kazran must have noticed that as well. [ This is the Monarchy. ] [ Monarchy? ] [ yes. It is the ce where the first monarch Baal lives. It is also often used as a meeting ce for monarchs. ] [ Then, is the qualification test a battle against Baal? ] Then you can understand why I came to the first monarchs stronghold. In fact, if the qualification test itself means a direct battle with Baal, you will have no choice but toe to the monarchy. But are those guesses wrong? Kazran, who was walking quietly down the hallway, stopped for a moment and looked at me with a cold look, as if he was dumbfounded. [ A battle with Baal? ] [ Wrong. ] [ Ha true. How far do I have to exin this to you? Im not sure. But one thing you should know. ] [ ? ] [ Baal does not fight seriously with you. ] Kazran continued in a voice of reverence, as if reciting a prayer. [Its just to see if youre qualified to stand at the top of the Demon Realm. ] [ . ] [ Do you understand? ] [ well. It may or may not be. Its not a very sweet story. ] No. I couldnt understand In the subject of a qualification test with the position of the first monarch, just determining whether or not you are qualified to be the first monarch? And to say that as if it were natural is definitely notmon sense. Didnt risking ones position in the Demon Realm mean risking ones life? Even considering the nature of the demon world, it was inevitable. It was absurd that Baal, the first lord, would not be ced in battle but what was even more absurd was the attitude that Kazran, who was in front of him, was showing to Baal from beginning to end. In fact, Khazran was half-worshiping Baal. Its heterogeneous. And I had no choice but to follow Kazran with my eyes closed. Perhaps Kazran knows that I am close to the edge of a higher deity. But you said you wouldnt even be able to fight a proper fight with the first lord, Baal? To be honest, I couldnt help but say that something was foreign if he, the apostle of the ancient godhead, could say that. And above all, why is Kazran so in awe of Baal? I couldnt understand. Most of the apostles who served the ancient deity did not acknowledge the existence of anything other than the main god. If he had reached the point where he was favored as an apostle by a godhead, it wouldnt be strange to be called a fanatic. However, despite serving the ancient deity, the demon, Kazran expressed feelings of awe towards Baal. I feel like Im missing something For some reason, I felt a tickling sensation in a corner of my brain. It feels like you have the right answer close by, but you cante up with it with a slight difference. But even so, I didnt have time to think too deeply about what the hell I was missing. [ Im here. ] That would be the case too [ beyond here is the conference hall of the Round Table. ] Its because Kazran started talking to me over the majestic Stone Gate. [From now on, those on the other side will evaluate you. ] In an instant, the buoy-like thoughts that popped into my head stagnated. [The meeting room of the Round Table isposed of the most powerful people among the current monarchs in the Pandemonium. ] [ . ] [ They are loyal to Baal, the first monarch, and are also in charge of evaluating the newly emerged monarch. ] [ Is this a qualification test? ] Only then did I smile at the energy I felt beyond the stone gate. [I dont hate this either. ] It deserved it. After all, proving your strength to others is something youve gone through many times. Nothing was too difficult. Even if you think about it carefully, isnt it an opportunity to check the divinity < Remorse > and various other abilities. Actually, there wont be many opportunities to deal with enemies who have reached a higher level of divinity. Its even more so because its a situation that is on the verge of an ancient deity. Only this time will I be able to raise the power of ascension to the level of an ancient deity. After organizing his thoughts, Kazran looked this way and slowly opened the stone gate. [I rmend that you be polite. ] Kugugu. [Because even a god like you should worship someone here. ] And. [The first lord, Baal, will watch over you. ] The moment Kazran said that andpletely opened the stone gate. uh? As it was, I could only keep my eyes wide open in amazement. [ oh! ] That would be the case [Are you finally here! ] The meeting room of the round table. A ce where four different lords sit. It was because I could see a sharp-eyed man sitting in the seat of honor on the other side,ughing cheerfully. [Its been a while! ] Its nothing else The demon is very happy to see the transcendent god! [Challenger Han Seong-yoon! ] demon. One of the ancient deities and the one who stood at the pinnacle of all demons All of a sudden, he was smiling brightly, looking at us and waving his hand. *** In an instant, the situation was understood. [ . ] The question that had been left in a corner of my head until now was resolved without leaving anything behind. Its the worst. Why did Kazran, the apostle of the ancient deity, show his feelings of worship to Baal, and why the position of Baal, the first monarch, was not determined by a life-and-death battle? At this point, even if you want to know, you cant know. However, there was no time to continue thinking. In the blink of an eye, the demon sitting in the most prominent seat at the round table spoke to me with an easygoing smile. [I guessed to some extent when I heard that the challenger hade from the tower, but seeing the face in person gave me a new feeling! ] [ Is that so? ] [When I saw it in the giant treebyrinth, even though there was a divinity, the level wasnt that high! but now youve definitely reached a high level. ] [ . ] In an instant, the demons eyes narrowed and his tone calmed down. [Even that to the level of massacring the lords of the demon realm. ] [Thats ] [And whats more interesting is that theyre now looking at the realm of ancient divinity. ] [ . ] The demon kept a calm tone and smiled. [Still, if its at the same level as you Yes, I can give you the position of the highest monarch. ] And I couldnt help but burst outughing as if I was dumbfounded. Theres no room to deny anything now He was convinced. [Drank. ] Exactly [You are Baal, the first ruler of the demon realm. ] That the ancient deity right in front of you is the supreme monarch of the demon realm. After hearing that, Kazran and the monarchs sitting around the round table lit up their eyes. It was as if he didnt know that he would immediately find out that the first monarch, Baal, was a demon. However, it was not difficult to find out because it was openly exposed. In fact, the demon didnt deny it, but immediately burst intoughter and nodded. [ ha ha ha! yes thats right! Baal. thats my name! I couldnt have known because I was revealing something openly! ] Now I can understand why the position of supreme monarch is not determined by life or death. [I wondered why there was such a thing as a qualification test to get the position of the first monarch. ] If it was an ancient deity that took its ce as the greatest monarch, a duel or something like that couldnt get it. Thats because, if you have to argue, the Demon God is like a walking incarnation of destruction. Perhaps, no matter how many more I am in this position, I cannot guarantee victory against the Demon Gods. Such is the state of the ancient godhead. [Is there such a thing as a qualification test because you had to deal with a monster like an ancient deity? ] [ Thats correct! In fact, just fighting isnt allowed even by the Towers causalw, and Im not very confident in losing, so Im not very happy with it! ] [ However, thew of causality will be less applicable to battles between gods. ] [ Thats right. But thats a story when the gap between each other isnt that big. I well I cant touch the canonical deities. they are too weak ] The Demon God grumbled. [Annoyingly. In the first ce, causality was created for that purpose. So that the deity cannot cause harm beyond measure. ] [ . ] [ If you look at the origin of the tower, its like that. now youre wondering too. The essential reason for the towers existence is the means to escape it. ] [ so what do you want to say? ] [ Its simple! ] Before I knew it, the demon bent her eyes as if she wereughing and continued. [Qualification test. ] As if revealing that somethings intention is hidden. [I set its contents as a bloody battle with all the lords here. ] And [You can defeat everyone here ande to me. ] Soon enough, the moment I finished talking about the qualification test for the position of the supreme monarch. [So, if you arrive at me, I will give you the position of First Lord. ] Just like that, the demon got up from his seat and entered the ck stone gate beyond the round table. [And about the hidden truths about the tower. ] with a scattering of very interesting words. *** Kung. [ . ] The moment the ck stone gate was closed and the demons presencepletely disappeared. Sorry. Suddenly, among the monarchs sitting around the round table, a man with red hair suddenly spoke. I cant imagine that a monster worthy of Baal-samas approval was a mere challenger subordinated to the tower. And another purple-haired female monarch nodded in agreement. Iknow, right. A state of standing at the end of the upper deity. Perhaps a new ancient deity. The dwarf male monarch, who had quietly listened to the conversation until now, also added in a gloomy voice. Arent you worth your life? The appearance that I really cant understand without the intention of belittling. At most, it must be a godhead who has not lived for hundreds of years. What is a young guy like you here for? You know how precious your life is. [ . ] Anyway, wasnt enough time given beyond the scope of mortality. After all, you will someday be an ancient deity. That kind of wood and that kind of skill. [ . ] Perhaps even with Baal, you can achieve the same number. I dont want to kill someone with such talent. There is no need to be in such a hurry. As if it was really a waste, the male monarch with a small physique said so. Even the other two monarchs pretended to agree with him. But nheless, it was clearly readable. Baal has been around since the beginning of the universe. And we are serving such a person. You really dont know what that means. Its nothing else Let us know that a mere godhead cannot surpass us. For some reason, the monarchs in front of them were confident of victory. Even to the point of givingpassionate advice. And Iughed at him. [Ha] Its been a while since I felt anger rising in my head. [They are talking real bullshit. ] Saying its a pity to be a challenger, saying its not a waste of life, saying he doesnt want to kill him The way he says that as if he doesnt care about me. I really didnt like it. [Just shut up and attack. ] So [So I think I can let you know. ] Now, isnt it your turn to use the power youve gained so far without holding back? [That you guys cant beat me. ] And. Divine < Empowerment > is used. Sacred power can be consumed to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a lot of divine power is consumed for themandment that interferes with thews of the world. ? All die. The light of the divine < Death > surged up as if to color the meeting room of the Round Table. Chapter 315 315. Transcendence (1) Divine < word spirit > is used. You can influence the real world with words by consuming holy power. . Everyone dies. In the blink of an eye, the divine < death > surged up, amplified by the power of the spirit of the word. Thebination of divine < death > and divine < words > can produce high efficiency due to thebination of divine powers. In fact, even if it is a high-ranking deity, should I say that it is a structure that has no choice but to be eroded by the divine < death >? In fact, it was. Kkwajijijijikjik!! The dark red divine light that rose up in an instant colored the conference hall of the round table as it was. What What the hell! Your divine power has already reached this level? Still, to what extent did he recognize the power of the divine < Death >? Each of the monarchs seated around the round table sighed in astonishment and widened their eyes. But that was only for a moment. Its nothing else Paimon, the first-ss apostle, acknowledges the power of the transcendent god. Its amazing. Before anyone knew it, the female monarch with purple hair had cut off the divine < Death >. Endless screen ofzy sinners But even so, it is still only immature. As she spoke in surprise, she spread a kind of shield with a purple aura. [ck magic] Even Alkaid, the goblin lord, had a level of ck magic unmatched in front of his eyes. It had reached the highest level of ck magic I had ever seen. At this point, even if he wasnt chosen as an apostle of the Demon God, he could bepared to a high-ranking deity. Paimon smiled in satisfaction and replied gracefully. Still,pared to when I was young, Im not stupid at all. Whoops. yes thats right It is one of the dark magics that Baal created in the beginning. [ . ] It seems that you have the minimum proficiency in ck magic, but its impossible to pierce this. give up And I want you to go back now. [ . ] Oh, and apparently you are interested in ck magic. Jung If thats the case, you cane see meter. Then I might ept you as a disciple [I understand. ] But it didnt take long to listen to Paimons useless noises. [I think I know roughly what the principle is. ] That would be the case too The exclusive effect magic circuit will be activated. You can use the users magic temporarily as magic. [Is that how it works? ] After all, if its ck magic, this one has quite a bit of knowledge. Jijijijijijik-! What! Suddenly, Paimons screen shook as if there was noise, and the eyes of the monarchs sitting at the round table widened. It was worth it. Overwhelming talent to imitate all the ck magic he saw. Even if you are an apostle chosen by the devil, you cannot avoid this crazy talent that you have fully mastered while wandering around the demon realm. What is this! How on earth can you dispel ck magic! Ha, on the subject of a mere challenger! Its been a long time since I saw through the magic that Paimon used. The reason why the divine < Death > didnt reach it wasnt because Paimons level was that high. If so, it was nothing more than dismantling the ck magic spell used by Paimon. I just increased the distance in space infinitely so that the divine power could not reach it with ck magic. If thats the case [This is the end of the nonsense. ] Now it is only the turn to crush the foolish apostles who are certain of victory. [So now lets see each others end. ] That too, very definitely. *** [The Endless Veil of an Indolent Sinner]. As soon as Paimons ck magic waspletely dismantled, the situation quickly changed. All of a sudden, the monarchs sitting around the round table abandoned their appearances as if they didnt want to fight, and stood up from their seats to express their intent to kill. The 1st-ss apostle Lerajie is angry with the god of transcendence. Soon, the red hair fluttered, and the moment Lerazie held the bow in her hand. The first-ss apostle Amon feels sorry for the transcendent god. As it was, the diminutive Amon gave out a gloomy voice and his eyes lit up. Then I will kill you here. In the blink of an eye, ck mes erupted from Amons hand. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! The appearance of ck mes attacking like a beast ravenous and salivating. But if you have the divine armor, you dont have to worry too much. As it was, I blocked the ck me with the divine armor. But patter. This is Suddenly, the ck me that touched the divine armor dyed the divine armor ck. The ck me had a power close to a kind of corrosion rather than firepower. To put it bluntly, its a kind of defensive ability-lowering ability. In fact, its more like a support weapon than an attack weapon. And Lerazia did not miss such a gap. The 1st ss apostle Lerajie activates divine < Corruption >. Kwajijijijijijik!! Suddenly, a dark green arrow pierced the divine armor and pierced his shoulder. When I saw that, I was surprised to open my eyes wide. Perhaps, at most, the Divine Armor, which might even block the blow of the Ancient Godhead, was pierced with one Divine Authority. Even if the divine armor had weakened, this would be surprising. Not even that. Sacred < Corruption > is activated automatically when the conditions are met. A cooldown of up to one month is applied to Sacred < Corruption >. Challenger Seongyoon Hans body rots quickly due to Sacred < Corruption >. Huh. It seems stupid. I never thought I would be so easily defeated by divine authority. Suddenly, the wound on his shoulder was rapidly decaying due to Lejies divinity. I wont be able to fight any longer. Foolish deity. So now Im going to die quietly But it didnt matter much. Use divine < protection > Consumes divine power to give out a protection that excludes external divinities once . Because there is a means to erase the divinity of the outside anyway. what? No vs. how did you stop the erosion of the divine < corruption >!? At the moment when Lerajie was shocked by that, I immediately swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Spirit Source Demonic Sword, Doubling is activated. Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [8] times. Honwon Demon Sword (Ԫħ). The first skill that reached the SSS-level among the power skills. The herbivorous swordsmanship previously taught by Baekhak Geomseon was strengthened several times and twisted the axis of space. Even if it was a divine attack, the space was bent at a speed so fast that it could not react, and the moment when Lerajies neck was pulled by the sword. Im sorry-! As it was, Lerajie died without even being able to utter a final word. Le lerajie!! Upon seeing this, Amon shouted in great rage, and immediately invoked divine power. Divinity < Evil Eating > is used. Challenger Han Seong-yoons next attack has the power to eat away the divinity. And. [Come to think of it, you dealt with a mysterious me, right? ] Damn it bastard aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! [Then I wonder if this can be prevented. ] You dare! Dare Ieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! kill! kill me! I will kill-. next moment. The power skill, Unquenchable mortal me is strongly activated. [ Can this also be polluted with your me? ] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The worst mes of the divinity < Evil Eating > poured down on Amon as a kind of cmity. You bastard who hasnt even lived for hundreds of years!! Soon, Amon howled desperately and immediately wrapped a ck me in his hand to receive the unquenchable mortal me. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! As it was, Amon was engulfed in an unquenchable mortal me thatsted only a few seconds. The power of the divinity < Evil Eating > literally devouring all divinities was truly devastating. The unquenchable mortal mes ate away everyst bit of Amons divinity, reducing his life to a handful of ashes. [Its a more clumsy power than I thought. ] And when I saw that, I smiled. [I thought there must be something because it contaminates the divine armor. ] It was then. [The ruin lost by Andras during his lifetime] Suddenly, a gray square with thick power appeared where Paimon was. [What is this again? ] It seems that Paimon prepared thest resort while the other monarchs were dying For some reason, the subject took the form of ck magic, and the technique was different from general ck magic. To put it bluntly, it looked more like a kind of authority rather than ck magic. In fact, Paimon also borated on this. Whoop whoop! Yes, it reproduces the authority of Andras, who died before! With this supreme ck magic I possess! [ Andras. ] He was an insignificant bastard, but at least he was a demon born like me. [Hmm.] Although its a scum that wasnt chosen by Baal-nim, this power is absolute. Ego. little one Let me die now. [I think I can do that too. ] under? Paimons eyes widened as if he was suddenly saying something. gibberish! Ah, the power of Andras was bestowed by Baal in the beginning! It took me thousands of years to recreate it. Theres no way I could do something like you But her desperate wish did note true. [Then why dont you see it with your own eyes? ] He would [That I could do the same. ] Before I knew it, like her ck magic, I reproduced the same gray square. *** The destruction that Andras lost during his lifetime The moment when the power of a demon called Andras was recreated with ck magic. Kwachajajajajajajajajajajak-! As it was, the gray square that appeared in the air was greatly inted and deployed to Paimon. What is this! Only then did Paimon startle and spread a gray square in the same way. Damn bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye! Do you think I will lose like this!? And, befitting her high skill, the ck magic with the same power could not be easily resolved. Whoop whoop whoop!! okay! this is me! Theres no way a kid like you could follow me! Even to the point where Paimon could shout that out of confidence. I am the one chosen by Baal But even that did notst long. [ I know. ] With that, I gave up the thought of using ck magic to win. [It may take some time to see the match with this. ] Huh? [So lets try something else. ] What is that It was justified. Im not a warlock anyway, so what am I going to do by winning with this? Anyway, I learned a lot about Paimons ck magic. I didnt feel the need to continue the battle with her anymore. In that case,bat sparring with ck magic was useless. After thinking about it, I condensed the ck starlight on my fingertips. The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. Huuuuu!! [ die. ] Paimon, who saw the ck starlight shing in an instant, opened his eyes with a short sound. ah. And finally, her figure was wrapped in ck starlight and disappeared. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Atst [Behaving in a nuisance.] Now, the bloody battle with the demon-serving apostles hase to an end. Absorbed the spirit of 1st-ss apostle Lerazie Absorbed the spirit of 1st-ss apostle Amon Absorbed the spirit of 1st-ss apostle Paimon Spirit Absorbed fragment [1/3]. Absorbed spirit fragment [2/3]. Spirit fragment [3/3] Absorbing Challenger Han Seong-yoon is 39.1% closer to ascension by winning against a native deity. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon can reign over all demons as his natural enemy. And. The 2nd ascension gained through < The Possibility of Transcendence > has reached 100%. Finally, the moment to reach a new level has arrived. Chapter 316 316. Transcendence (2) I smiled at the system message that appeared in front of me. The 2nd Ascension obtained through < The Possibility of Transcendence > has reached 100%. Ascension. With the effect attached to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, the time hase to raise the level of divinity again. And this time, it wasnt a promotion to official godhood, but a new level to ascend to the realm of ancient godhood. Actually, Ive filled 100% of the 2nd Ascension. It doesnt even stop there. Did it y a big role in killing the apostles who serve the ancient god, the demon? In the blink of an eye, the growth was more than enough to fill the second ascension to 100%. And the value of such a fact was not so small. Conditions satisfied. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. You have obtained the qualification to enter the ancient deity level. Challenger Han Seong-yoon can obtain Deity Harmony by reaching 100% Ascension. Ascension at 100% By reaching it, challenger Han Seong-yoon can obtain divinity expansion. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons ascension as an ancient deity begins. I feel it. This The divinity dwelling in the heart was facing a cataclysm. Centering on divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death >, the concept of divinity itself is reaching a high ce. It feels like reassembling a puzzle from scratch. The concept of divinity expands to a realm where even a formal godhead cannot rise, and the level of the soul rises ordingly. What is this again? And as soon as I realized what it meant, I couldnt help but be astonished. Could it be that Gods name is increasing to two at all? It was worth it. Originally, being a god is a kind of self-identity that is acquired by bing a formal god. Acquisition of divine names could be said to mean that divinity, which had been umted so far, escapes from the metaphysical realm, enters the metaphysical realm, and throws off the mortal status. Therefore, divinity was the subject of abstract concepts. [ . ] Therefore, it was not easy to ept the expansion of Shinmyeong into two. Of course, it was possible to use the power of the divine < death > at the level of the official godhood with the basic divine power Apotheosis before. Wasnt it because he had been able to control the power of the divine < death > despite being a god of transcendence? But this is a different track from that. That should be the case too Divinity < transcendence > harmonizes with divinity < death > to obtain a new spirit . The 2nd Ascension has reached 100%, so some of the mythological effects are applied twisted. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is given the effect of < Cause and Effect Attunement >. It will be adjusted. Challenger Seongyoon Han can be an ancient deity without being interfered with by the constraints of thew of causality . Since you have obtained it, the level of divinity rises. Challenger Seong-yoon Han can demonstrate the power of divinity that is unshakable against opponents of lower rank. And. Challenger Han Seong-yoons formal deity name has been partially adjusted to < Transcendence and God of Death > . Even if you dont do it, you can maintain the spirit of < God of Transcendence and Death >. Soon, such a system message popped up in front of my eyes. [ . ] Suddenly, the light of divinity dwelling in the heart began to leave the ce. Why did the divinity, which had never changed its location since obtaining divinity, now spread to all parts of the body? The divine power that spread throughout the body without even having time to answer it soon settled down below the navel. However, the divine power still did not stop moving. Its not quite in ce, its like its gathering momentum And it really was. oh oh oh! The divine power that had settled down in the lower court soared, emitting an infinitely intense light. As if ascending in the true sense of the word. Soon, the moment when divinity rises in a straight line from below the navel to the heart and from the heart to the brain like a dragons current. Before I knew it, I felt that the three fields were connected as one, and the power of the divine power began to take over all parts of my body. DSuch nonsense And Dam Chun-wu, who sensed such a cataclysm, said in astonishment. DCould it be that even the living body is now an appendage of divinity? It was. The divinity, which had connected the triad before one knew it, was changing the body into a kind of divinity. Her body, which had been narrowly within the human category until now, hadpletely crossed that line. Is this what it means to be an ancient deity? Originally, the body was supposed to function as a vessel to contain the divinity. Even if its a god, its because mortals have evolved in the end. Even if it was beyond mortal status, it was natural to put the water of divinity in the vessel of the body. Therefore, life could be cut off when the bowl of Shingyeokdo was broken, and it could bepared to the extreme of technology such as martial arts or ck magic. After all, if the vessel called the body is broken, it will be the same for the godhead to die. But not anymore. The divine is the body, and the body is the divine. Now, the boundaries between the vessel and its contents have disappeared, and all that remains is the concept of divinity. At best, it was close to the level of true immortality, where the body would not die to the point of being crushed. Did I just be the concept itself? Even his own essence is attuned to divinity. This is the realm of an ancient deity In fact, bing an ancient deity seemed to be a kind of conceptualization. In other words, they have achieved unity with the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death >. But its not entirely wee. If the mind was unstable, the will itself could have been eroded by the concept. However, the power of conceptualization gained by bing an ancient god had a rewardmensurate with the risk. [Is it immortality?] Being free from physical limitations means achieving immortality in the true sense of the word. Even if your heart explodes, you wont die. As long as the divine power is intact, it is possible to survive. Even deities who were no longer on the level of ancient deities could be crushed with no way to resist divinity. [ even though he just became an ancient deity, he has great power. ] It was really close to the pinnacle of godhood. But that didnt create any feelings of arrogance. After all, this is just what all the other ancient deities have experienced. What kind of level are the ancient deities in the realm beyond this? Beyond bing the concept of divinity itself, which level are the ancient gods who have mastered through countless years looking forward to? I dont know. What level the Ancient Godhead is looking at, and how can the Tower suppress even such an Ancient Godhead? nothing can be certain I cant help but not know now. So The god of transcendence and death is looking at the demon over there. [The end doesnt seem that far. ] You will have to face all the truths that you have been forced to ignore. *** Ancient deity. It has reached a level where it can be seen as a transcendental person in a true sense. And now I have be the very concept of transcendence and death. But there are limits. However, I still needed time to prepare. Time ends. The divine authority Apotheosis will be deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours. It made sense. Ah Because there was not enough divine power left to maintain the deification. Is it the exhaustion of divine power? Entering the realm of ancient godhood, even the divine power extracted from the apostles was used up. Well, even if there is no apotheosis now, the fighting power itself will not drop so drastically. The real problem is that the divine power has been consumed to the point that deification cannot be used. In fact, since the divine power is the body, the exhaustion of the divine leads to a decrease in all abilities. So I had no choice but to sit there. Then you have to refill it. Anyway, the divine power is not far away, so it will fill up. Thats because there are exclusive effects obtained through Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >. And not only that, but as his level as a godhead increased, the basic recovery speed of his divine power also increased. There should still be plenty of time, and the demon god probably doesnt have enough patience, so its just a matter of recovering properly and going to the demon god. Even though Ive be an ancient deity, Im still a bitcking. Even if you be an immortal transcendental person, it is not without limitations. Since the dependence on divine power isrge, when the divine power is consumed, the power temporarily decreases. And more than anything else, the instability in the mental aspect is much greater because the conceptualization has been achieved. Perhaps the other ancient deities arentpletely insane. Even if it wasnt, it wasmon that the mind was attuned to the divinity. Those who have risen to the ranks of godheads are likely to be distracted by the concept of divinity. And the mental instability of ancient deities who abandoned their bodies and entered the realm of conceptualization will be highlighted. [ Maybe Im just in the same situation. ] At that, I smiled. At this point, I probably wont be able to discuss mental instability while looking at the gods. Perhaps because of the divinity < transcendence >, I became very obsessed with growth, so if I were to insist on this, I wouldnt call it normal. Its just that Im rtively finepared to other deities. But ironically, thats why I was able toe this far. It was because he used everything he could gain from climbing the tower as his goal, not as a means to advance on the road. I didnt get a shiningmp to go on a dark road, but I just went on a dark road because I wanted amp that was infinitely bright. We did not acquire the means of power for a certain goal. Because he made it his goal to be stronger himself, he was able to be infinitely stronger and eventually reached this point. It is a truth that nothing can deny. [So at least Ill have to decide the end. ] However, even if the sequence has changed, the time wille when power bes a means rather than an end. like now. The truth that had to be there was right in front of my eyes, and there was a future that had to be done. There was no time now. Its time to prepare for the trials on the 27th floor. Perhaps after crossing the next floor, the time for a crucial choice wille. 27th floor. The worst ordeal that could kill all the managers who contracted themselves. Therefore, force should now be turned into a means rather than an end. As an ancient deity, if I raise my rank, Ill be able to reach the tower. Thats why I focused on recovering divinity as much as possible. No matter what I think about here, the fact that I have to reach the ce in front of me doesnt change. At least 80% of his divine power had to be recovered before he could face the demon. Perhaps a day or so would have been enough at the most, but was it not to the liking of Dam Chun-wu? DIf you have reached the level of Daera Shinseon, shouldnt you learn the means to recover the level of divine power? Dam Chun-wu, who had managed to capture his surprised emotions, spoke like that. DIf you can dpose Qi into the pure source of all things in heaven and earth, you will be able to recover some of your divine power. But even so, there was no trepidation in his voice. As if you couldnt believe it, the thin shaking was repeated. Perhaps, it is shocking that the ancient deity reached the stage and conceptualized it. For some reason, Damcheonwu tried hard to hide the fact that he was astonished. DAt the very least, if you have reached the ranks, you should be able to do that. Fable deungseon? DThis is another name for Ascension, which is referred to in my world. And thats what you just aplished. I wondered why he was shocked to see the state of the ancient deity. Awe. Dam Chun-wu was showing me a little bit of awe. It was worth it. After all, Damcheonwu was the leader of the blood demon cult and acted as a Murim person. Perhaps he was greatly confused when he realized that the ancient godhood was the realm of immortality, which was referred to in his world. -transcendence and death. You became the very concept of both. That is the height of the top line. at a level that is only handed down in legends. Even the shaking in his voice was like nothingness. DIf I had known that the state of Daera Shinseon was such a monster, I wouldnt have had any regrets in my lifetime. Damcheonwu said bitterly, not knowing why. DNo, its over now. But that was only for a moment. -Excuse me. Perhaps, if you concentrate your mind to disintegrate ki or mana, the recovery of divinity will be faster. Just as it is, Damcheonwu sorted out his thoughts and rmended me to disassemble my magic. If so. And without replying to him, I started tearing apart the magic power in the magic circuit. Theres not much time left, so theres nothing wrong with having a means to quickly recover your divinity. As if using a centrifugal separator, the moment when the magic power itself is quickly rotated and separated. As it was, the mana was disturbed and an abnormality urred. Its amazing. The mana separated by the centrifugal force took on a form of pure white. Even that pure white dposition magic clung to the divinity and was melting as it was. In other words, by dissolving mana, it means that the recovery speed of divinity can be increased. And then I got a realization. ah. Its nothing else Come to think of it, the challenger from the other world who appeared in Ennd also said that. I had heard before that mana was used to obtain divinity. At that time, I heard it, but did that mean this? three months. It reminded me of a wizard from another world who had tried to gain faith by massacring citizens in London in the past. At that time, one of the information obtained through torturing him was that it was possible to acquire divinity through pure energy. Now I understand. And with that, I was able to capture my realization. In other words, is it amon route to obtain divinity by dissolving magical power? Having acquired divine power through necromancy while climbing the tower, I am like an irregr. Originally, divinity itself must have been acquired in this way. Thats why the legend of whether its a freshman or something remains. By dissolving ki or mana, you will be able to learn the opportunity to cast off the mortal ss. But even now I know, its a story that doesnt mean much. Still, its great to be able to convert magical power into divine power. Is there any small meaning in that an old double track was collected? If it was small, he was satisfied with the small ie and focused on recovering his divinity, so his divine power rose quickly. Roughly speaking, about 70% of the original divine power has been recovered. At this point, I could focus less on restoring divinity, so I decided to finish what I had to do. Thats right The spirit piece [3/3] has satisfied the charge level. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Corruption >, < Contamination >, and < Spells >. The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an optionter. Kill the apostles who served the demons before. It is to use the opportunity to acquire divinity obtained by doing so. There wont be much to look at. However, contrary to his thoughts, he didnt have to put much effort into choosing a divinity. After all, the divine < corruption > and the divine < contamination > already know the contents, albeit roughly. Whether its Divine < Corruption > or Divine < Pollution >, both are useless abilitiespared to Divine < Eater >. Then it would be better to obtain Paimons divine < spell >. Selectionpleted. The divine < spell > is reced with potential. Perhaps the divine < spell > is an ability to assist with ck magic . At least not much can be known until you try it yourself. But now that I had everything I had to get and do, I couldnt waste time. [Is this all you can get now? ] So [ expected. ] Now, isnt it time to go see the demon beyond the ck stone gate? [How far will my power go against the ancient godhead?] I was curious even if it wasnt so. Divinity < Remorse > ck magic Divinity < Spell > Transcendence skill etc To what level will all the powers obtained from the Demon Realm be used? If a demon is the opponent, there must be a minimum ie. The time hase to test everything that has been umted so far. Chapter 317 317. Transcendence (3) Devil. One of the ancient deities encountered in the giant treebyrinth, and one who reigns as the first lord of the underworld. There was a monster out there that had spent countless hours as an ancient deity, even being said to have existed since the beginning of time. [ . ] Even if they reach the level of the same ancient deity, their levels cannot be ced on the same line. Perhaps it cant bepared to the ancient deity, the Demon God. It was worth it. Even if you have umted until you have exceeded the percentage of the 2nd Ascension with the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, that doesnt mean you can surpass the ancient deities. I just got the minimum level to be an ancient deity. Of course, this is by no means a low achievement. Still, Im not too far behind the ancient godhead. In fact, having reached the beginning of the ancient deities, I have been able to exert overwhelming power against the deities of lower ranks. Ive definitely gotten stronger. Not even that. And above all, I have achieved true immortality now. The stage of conceptualization achieved by bing an ancient deity. Now I am like the very concept of divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death >. Therefore, there is almost no chance of death, and even if one suffers great suffering from divine authority, it is only a temporary exhaustion of divine power. [ nothing to worry about. ] At that, I shook my head and brushed off any hesitation. Assuming the worst situation, even if I be hostile to the Demon God, I have the confidence to survive. And as soon as I finished thinking like that, I opened the ck stone door right at the end of the meeting room. coogu pce. As soon as my hand touched the ck stone gate, a majestic sound resounded and the scenery beyond it unfolded. [ . ] The old-fashioned decorations that decorate the long red carpet, the air that takes your breath away, etc. A space that seems to have been created for the purpose of meeting the monarch itself. At the end of each ce that exudes a different antiquity, a person sitting on a ck throne caught my eye. He smiled as if he was very satisfied with that. [Have you reached this point in the end? ] And I knew right away who he was. [Congrattions, challenger. ] Exactly [You deserve to hear the truth of the tower. ] One of the ancient deities and the first lord of the Demon Realm, the Demon God, was there. *** The moment I finished saying that I deserve to hear the truth of the world. [Really] The devilughed lightly and said, not matching his sharp eyes. [Its better than I imagined! ] He tapped the armrests of the throne with his fingers and continued as if humming. [I never thought I would kill my apostles and be an ancient deity! ] As if the situation was genuinely enjoyable. [ These apostles were carefully selected from among the 72 demons, but if they were used to help a monster like you grow, there would be nothing to regret! ] And I watched him with bated breath. but theres no hostility for now. I thought maybe I would kill the demon right away after learning that it had be an ancient deity, but did I worry too much? Even though he had risen to the level of an ancient god, the Demon God did not show a very negative reaction. At this point, I can be sure that the Demon God does not have any hostile feelings toward me. Thats why I watched him quietly, and then I made up my mind and asked him a question. [ Arent you worried that Ive be an ancient deity? ] [ Why do you think so? ] [ the purpose of the tower is to kill all deities, isnt it? So if I became an ancient deity, youd be worried. ] [ Thats a boring question. ] Only then did the demon lower his excited voice and frivolous atmosphere. [Bing an ancient deity, you would have noticed if you were subordinate to the concept. ] His voice was so low that he even thought it was chilly now. [Bing an ancient deity is not a very good thing. ] But I couldnt make out what it meant. [ . ] Being an ancient deity isnt very nice I couldnt understand it. Isnt it already a transcendental state to enter the true meaning of immortality with the status of divinity? But what is not good about achieving such a state? When I questioned him, the Demon God frowned and said, [ hmm. Is it because of the shortcut to bing an ancient deity? It seems that the understanding of divinity itself is definitely falling. ] He seemed to be thinking about how to exin for a while, but then he moved his lips and continued. [Isnt the ancient deity bound to be immortal because it was subordinated to the concept? ] [What is that ] [An ancient deity discarded the vessel called the body and became a kind of spiritual body. It is a form close to a certain concept having a will rather than a life. so it wont die. ] [ . ] Only then did I understand. [Youre saying that even the tower cant ovee the immortality of the ancient deity? ] That the tower could not remove the immortality of the ancient deities. [ okay. After all, even a tower cannot annihte an ancient deity. As an ancient deity, I cant achieve it even if I wish for it, so the tower is no different. ] [ . ] [ Death? It disappeared at the point where it was already subordinated to the concept. If there are demons somewhere in this universe, I will have no choice but to be immortal. ] [Thats ] [And isnt that the same for you? ] The Demon God said with a cool smile. [Unless the concept of death disappears in the universe, it is immortal. ] That too, pointing out the core of immortality achieved through conceptualization. [Even if you want to disappear yourself, you cant do that. ] [ . ] [ So dont worry even if the tower raised an ancient deity. ] [ Is that so? ] However, contrary to what the demon said, the light on his face changed to cold. [However, if even an ancient deity could be eliminated, it would be a transcendental being. ] [ Transcendence? ] [Yes. transcendent. The story will be different only if there is a transcendental being who surpasses everything who can eliminate the very concept of an ancient god. ] [ Eliminating the concept itself. That cant be possible] The moment I tried to deny the demons words, frowning at him. [Its possible. ] And. [At least, the possibility itself is undeniable. ] At that, the demon quietly and casually opened his mouth as if he were talking aboutmon sense. [Thats why the tower was created by fusing the ancient deities. ] what? *** In the blink of an eye, my head turned white. What is this again It was just like that. The Tower of Trials was created bybining ancient deities? Tower. The utopia it hopes for is for all of the numerous divinities to disappear without falling out. Therefore, the Tower of Trials was to nurture challengers, identify candidates among them, and temper them into weapons capable of eliminating deities. [ . ] However, ording to the story of the demon, the purpose of the tower bes iprehensible. [ Ah, could it be that it was sudden to say this all of a sudden? ] In fact, the Demon God tilted his head as if he knew that. [But now you have no choice but to know. That this is the truth that the tower has been hiding. ] However, I couldnt deny the demons words just because I couldnt understand them. [ at least I dont think its a lie. ] Thats what he should be [The skill Fire Dragons Eye sees through that there is no lie in the opponents words.] Before he knew it, the power of the skill found out that there was no lie in his words. Didnt the skills even grow to the level where even an ancient deity could be used by the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >? Since the identity of the tower was directly told by an ancient deity, it cannot be dismissed as a lie. But even so, it wasnt very neat to pass through the iprehensible realm casually. [But that doesnt mean I can fully understand it. ] [ Why? ] [If you think about it that way, the tower is also a type of deity called an ancient deity. ] [ Whoa. ] [ Isnt that a contradiction? ] If the Tower of Trials was really a mixture of ancient deities, it seemed like a contradiction to exclude all deities in the universe. In the first ce, you could say that the Tower of Trials itself is a type of godhead. If so, it was impossible not to know that the origin of the tower was contradictory, so the Demon God who heard that nodded his head as if he noticed right away. [In a nutshell, if you look closely at the tower, its a kind of deity, so you mean you want to know why you want to exclude the deities? ] [ Yes. ] [But I dont think you can answer that question. ] [ Why? ] [ Thats why. ] Then the demon god slightly raised a finger, and a small sh of light shed there. Pajijik!! This. And it wasnt that hard to figure out what it was. [Causalw] Before I knew it, the tower was blocking the devils mouth. Chii-. And the Demon God who showed it shook off the constraints of thew of causality rising from his fingers and went crazy as if he knew it. [ okay. causal rate. The restrictions that the Tower ced on deities all over the universe. Until this heavenly sentence disappears, I cannot give you the answer you desire. ] Even the application of thew of causality has not beenpleted yet. [So far, I have used my apostles and the causal rate obtained through the qualification test, but even that seems to have reached its limit now. ] At the point of having already defeated the Demon Gods apostles, thew of causality must have been manageable to some extent. I just used up most of that causality by hearing the truth about the tower. Perhaps, as long as thew of cause and effect allows, I think I have already obtained all the information. [That doesnt mean theres no way at all, is it? ] Even if you step back like this anyway, what will happen after that is the towers thorough control. [Thew of causation is to satisfy the cause that will cause the result in the first ce. ] Then, it is the right choice to hear the whole truth from the demon here. [If so, isnt there a price to satisfy thew of causality? ] Even if it had the risk of bringing about its own destruction. [The price is fixed. Is that what I think is right? ] The moment he smiled as if he knew roughly what he drank. [Perhaps. ] As it was, I barely pulled the corners of my mouth in a cold sweat. [ I just need to prove that I can hear the answer from the demon god through pure power. ] The meaning of the word to satisfy thew of cause and effect through a duel between ancient deities was simple. [I will push until I can hear the answer. ] In a word, he was going to deal with the demon seriously. [Kuh] But. [Keuheob keuheu keuhuh ha! Its fun, its fun! Is that how youve grown? How wild! ] Nevertheless, the Demon God gave off a fishy smile as if it was unreasonable. [But its nonsense that youve just achieved immortality. ] It deserved it. [Honestly, its slightly better than a high-ranking deity, so I dont think its very likely to be an opponent. ] Even if they are the same ancient deity, arent demons monsters that have umted power since the beginning of time? [Youd better get rid of the trivial jokes] So there was no need to convince him. [What the hell is that? ] [ ? ] [ Youre kidding. ] [ huh? ] [ I think youre misunderstanding something. [ 4 _ _ _ minutes], all types of ranks can be equal to that of the opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitable > may cease. From now on, challenger Seongyoon Han , Adjustment > divine effect will be attached. You can freely adjust and handle the spiritual attack you possess. You can tune the formless power with the spiritual attack and apply the effect of the spiritual attack to that power. I wasnt saying this as a joke] After all, if anyone were on that level, they would feel that superior. [I seriously intend to fight.] until I woke up after being beaten. Chapter 318 318.

Transcendence Myth < Spirit Attack The value of Tuning > is very high. Wouldnt he be able to make the system itself, which was subordinated to the tower, self-reliant as mine alone? It was worth it just to be able to do something that no one else had been able to do until now. The value of the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > does not stop at self-sufficiency of skills. But should I say its like an onion? Still, this transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > had another effect. Its even more effective than subordinating the systems ability to me. Indomitable spirit. The divinity effect of < Spirit Indomitability > attached to < Spirit Tuning > in the transcendence myth was like that. Designationplete. Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > begins to equalize the level of the designated opponent. From now on, for [4 minutes], all types of levels will be equal to the opponent in front of you, and the level of Rising can put a lot of pressure on you. Deed deed! Soon after, the system message announced the activation of the divine effect of the transcendence myth < Spirit Unbreakable >. In the blink of an eye, I felt the flow of divinity everywhere in my body sway and expand like a rubber band stretching. Even the overwhelming expansiveness was not confined to divinity. All of a sudden, the magic power and even the essential level of the soul went up and began to take an uncontroble load. [Huh.] It was worth it. Is this the power of a demon god? Currently, all rises in status through indomitability are based on the Demon God. Even if they reached the level of ancient godhood, there is nothing strange about the gap between them. Isnt the ancient deity right in front of you an existence that is said to have touched the beginning of the universe as well? For a spiritual body that has just recently been conceptualized, obtaining equal status with that ancient deity would itself be tantamount to torture. I feel like my body is going to burst It was actually like that. As time passed, the body creaked without hesitation, and disparate noises of something twisting came out from here and there. A feeling as if an invisible force was squeezing the body like a rag. Still, is it because I set the minimum level in my own way? As he continued to hold on for several minutes with his teeth clenched, the level of divinity flowing from his body changed noticeably. DThis is to the point that even Damcheonwu, who had been quiet until now, was startled. DIts a monster It didnt need any fancy forms. A monstrous difference. Just one word could exin everything. Even if he was a formal god, he would no longer be different from a mere mortal in front of this spirit. But I cant afford this But it wasnt that he got that high of a price. It is difficult to breathe properly, and my body creaks without rest, and even that is not enough, so my consciousness feels heavy as if it has been pressed by a weight. However, the time to maintain this level was about 4 minutes at most. He went through countless hardships and reached the level of an ancient deity, but he couldnt help but be gloomy at the fact that there was still such a gap. But the devil didnt seem to think so. [ Hoo. ] The demon who watched the activation of the transcendence myth suddenly said as if she was surprised with her eyes shining. [Isnt it a mysterious myth? I never thought I could make up for the difference in rank that way. Still, I did have one hidden. ] [Thats right. ] [Well, it seems like its still hard to handle the situation. But at that point, it will be the passing line. Yeah, it wasnt a crazy story at all. ] [If so] [I admit it. ] And that was when the demon nodded as if he liked it. [Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ] support position-. Suddenly, the sound of something being torn resonated from where the Demon God was sitting, and purple divinity overflowed. [You seem to be qualified to deal with me. ] And. [You said you would push me until you could hear the answer? ] Soon after, the demon continued to speak with an attitude of satisfaction. [ one. ] Kkwajijijijik-! [I will admit even one, so it would be better to seed even with that one attack. ] As it was, the purple divinity shone viciously, crushing the space centered on the Demon God. [Because that would be the minimum condition to hear the answer. ] Out of heaven. There are only a few beings in the universe that cant be exined . [Still, its my first time, so Ill do it at an appropriate level. ] And. [Is this enough? ] The moment the demon finished talking happily as if it were a child. Divinity < Destruction > is used. By divinity < Destruction >, the area where the origin of destruction is designated is covered. By divinity < Destruction >, beings with wills that touch the origin of destruction are annihted. World It lost its color and was crushed. *** In an instant, the world went dark and system messages came to mind. The spirit has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user. The spirit of the first-ss apostle Lerajie has disappeared.] The spirit of the first-ss apostle Mamon has disappeared The first-ss apostle Paimon The spirit of has disappeared Its been a long time since Ive seen a notice of the disappearance of the spirit. But seeing this in itself is not very wee. Thats also true, because it means that an attack of a level that needs to annihte the spirits currently possessed is right in front of your eyes. [What else is this] Actually, that thought was correct. Kwajijik-! [Finger! ] Right after the most reliable means of protection disappeared after consuming the spirits of the apostles that were in possession. As soon as it touched the ck space made up of the divinity < Red Death >, the ring finger of the left hand was crushed like a cookie and disappeared. Even the divine armor had no room to respond. In a word, this meant that it was like an instant death. [What.] You cant stop it even with the divine armor? In fact, it should be able to block even the special move of a high-ranking deity I got goosebumps at the divine power that treats such divine armor as if it were not there. However, just staying like this would lead to defeat, so I activated the divine power as if hitting a counter. Use divine < protection > Consumes divine power to give out a protection that excludes external divinities once . I dont know exactly what this is, but I can definitely get rid of it with this. Divine Protection < Divine Protection > has a cooldown, so its right to use it carefully. In any case, it would be better to eliminate the risk factor with the Divine < Prophet > rather than needlessly draining ones strength. In the blink of an eye, a green light shed as if to drive away the divinity < Red Death >, and the world regained its color and the curtain was lifted. And beyond that, the Demon God was waiting with an unexpected face. [A divinity that excludes divinity! He has a rare divinity] But he had no intention of wasting time. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. Anyway, a duel with the demon is one unit. Isnt it possible to finish it by getting it right? I had no intention of giving any more room to a monster like the divine < Destroy > that fired crazy instant kills. Before I knew it, the two longswords in my hands unleashed a sword attack that was several times stronger with the Honwon Demon Sword. The martial arts learned from Baekhak Geomseon in the past are now unfolding with overwhelming status. White Sword Guancheon. A swordsman with the will to break through any supreme defense. The herbivore of the seven types of white swords, which was originally powerful, was now supported by the will of the ancient god. In fact, this blow itself became a concept equivalent to a kind of divine authority. Thats why I thought that this would give the Demon God minimal damage. I have to end this quickly But What! Wow-!! [ hmm. ] As it is, the demon god blocked such a sword attack without moving his head. [Are you going to use martial arts now for high-speed movement to exclude divinity? ] Before he knew it, a purple-colored divinity was floating around him. Its nothing else It was only by manipting the divine power in the form of a grip that he struck off the sword without even touching it. Even that was not by authority, but only by pure divine power. [But this is ambiguous] But that was only for a moment. Using Divinity < Transcendence > All abilities are out of the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range. All skills in proportion to the difference in level with the opponent The growth rate of the species increases [8] times. The moment the divinity < Transcendence > was activated and the purple grip made of divinity was crushed. Awesome-. As it was, the incontinence in the purple grip opened wide, and a smile appeared on the corner of the demons mouth. [ no. Ill have to correct it at this point. Its not ambiguous, but its strong enough. ] But unlike him, I couldntugh. It was because he only intended to overwhelm his opponent with this blow. Thats why even the divine < Death > was imbued with the Honwon Demonic Sword and the output was raised to the maximum level Contrary to what I thought, the situation was not easily solved and twisted. [ okay. Well, there are still some points of ignorance, but But if you only count the total amount of power and skills, itsparable to the Dragon God. ] [ Is that is it! ] [ But its not enough. ] The moment I answered like that, barely holding back the creaking of my body. [You didnt think you could feed just one of these, did you? ] Only then was I able to clean up my lingering feelings. I dont think I can beat this. Even if it was equal to the ancient deity, it could not be used properly because it was subordinated to the vessel called the spiritual body. Not only that, but the abilities possessed by the Demon God were truly fraudulent. Divinity < Elimination > and pure divinity maniptive ability alone, in fact, to the extent that it could lightly kill a higher level deity. I probably wouldnt have been able to stand if I hadnt used Indomitable Spirit with the transcendence myth. Still, I think its possible to feed one shot. So [ you can look forward to it this time. ] [ ? ] [ because I never thought Id bring this out here. ] [ Thats what else ] [ Its simple. ] It seemed that I could use the power I had been curious about so far. [There are still many hidden cards. ] Exactly [Exclusive authority #A-0107 [ Transcendence Skill] is activated . Exclusive privileges to obtain skills corresponding to the highest rank of the tower. Now, he was trying to reveal his true value in a new ce. Chapter 319 319. Transcendence (5) Transcendence skill. Among the exclusive privileges obtained as rewards for achievements in the Tower, it is the only ability directly rted to battle. I hadnt had a chance to write it so far, so I kept it until time passed, but I couldnt do that anymore. At this point, I have no choice but to do everything in my power. It was worth it. Isnt the opponent in front of you a monster standing on the edge of an ancient deity? It wasnt too difficult to predict that he would be defeated by the Demon God anyway. Thats why I decided that it was best to show all my strength quickly before all the money was lost at this spot. Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] is activated. You can designate one of the skills of challenger Han Seong-yoon as a skill. What kind of skill should I choose to give the demon a shot? The worry didntst long. After all, I had alreadye to some conclusions while contemting what to do when I encountered an enemy that exceeded my expectations. Its just I cant guarantee that Ill be able to win at once with this. It was hard for me to be sure that this choice was the right one for myself. The skill to choose as the transcendence skill was not very destructive and was just an auxiliary skill. However, its efficiency and stability were superior to any other technology, so there was nothing else to call it an option. Does it still have to be done All or nothing. It is as if the dice have already been rolled. There was even a possibility that destructive power would be meaningless to the Demon God in front of him anyway. And more than anything else, if everything went as nned, there might be another way to use the transcendence skill. Then there is no better option than this, so it is foolish to hesitate like this any longer. Having made up my mind before I knew it, I immediately chose a technique as a transcendence skill. Selectionplete. Right Exclusive authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill] designates ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration]. Transcendence skill Skill Cooldown eleration (EX) is created and You can use it as a skill for 1 minute. [Skill cooldown eleration]. He chose the ck magic that he had newly created to suit the tower system. As a result, EX-ss skills, which can be said to be the highest rank of the tower, came into hand. And Exclusive authority #A-0107 [Transcendence skill] will be given a cooldown of 10 years. Shortly after, the system message announced the cooldown of the Transcendence skill. [Skill cooldown eleration] Click click! Dedicated Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] has been designated as the target of [Skill Cooldown eleration]. Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] has [Skill Cooldown eleration], and the cooldown is reset. It will work. I was sure. [This is] Choosing this ck magic among the choices that should never be made is a choice that was infinitely close to the correct answer. [I dont think I can really lose. ] Thats great too. *** As soon as I finished activating the transcendence skill, the demon spoke as if I couldnt understand. [ What do you mean by suddenly not being able to lose? ] As if I didnt know what I was doing. It was worth it. Because the superpowers of exclusive authority that originated from the tower are powers that have nothing to do with magic or divinity. So it would be difficult for even the God of Drinking to know exactly what I was doing. However, the Demon Gods reaction was only short-lived. [ No, no. Thats what you need to know from now on. Isnt that right, Han Seong-yoon? ] As it was, the Demon Godughed lightly and released the divine power that reached the extreme. Kwajijijijijijijik-! A very simple blow that simply releases divine power to the outside. However, considering that the divine power originated from the ancient deity, the demon, it could never be seen as a pure emission of divinity. A devastating attack aircraft in the form of virtually divine power. In fact, it was. In the blink of an eye, the purple divine power rushed in crushing the space, and the ces where the divine power touched were transformed into a handful of dust and copsed. However The skill Combat eleration is activated. The skill Focus on Combat is activated The skill Instantaneous eleration activates] What I have to choose here is It wasnt evasion or defense. The power skill, Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 120%. Current skill ovep progress C [12] Anyway, the concepts of evasion and defense are meaningless now. In an instant, with allbat skills activated, he kicked off the ground and ran to the demon at once. It looks like a fire moth running into a pit of fire but I had no intention of stopping. Crackle! Even if the body touched by the divine power of the demon godpressed to its limit is cut off, the same is true. The only correct answer could be an attack-only attitude that abandoned defense. Thats also the case The skill Final Resistance will be activated. Invalidates the fatal wound inflicted on you. All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills arepensated. A weeks cooldown is given to that skill. In fact, Id be immortal now, after all. Chijik-! The moment when the copsed part of the body crackled as if there was noise and regained its original shape. Skill Final Resistance is targeted for [Skill Cooldown eleration]. Skill Final Resistance cooldown is reset with [Skill Cooldown eleration]. Without a moments gap The ck magic [Skill cooldown eleration] is activated and the cooldown of the skill Final Resistance is gone. The skill Last Resistance is activated. The fatal wound inflicted on you is nullified. All senses are temporarily amplified and corrections are applied to all skills. The skill Last Resistance is activated. Activated Nullifies the fatal wound inflicted on you All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills arepensated The skill Last Resistance is activated. Bow] Nullify the fatal wound inflicted on you All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills arepensated A situation in which the activation of is repeated. Even the effect of repeating the skill doesnt stop there. Even the effects of all sense amplification and all skill corrections were stacked multiple times. Thats why it was possible to break through the divine storm without hesitation. After breaking through the purple holy power, the demon god was smiling with sparkling eyes. [He said he had a hidden card, so he must have been hiding something interesting, right? ] It seems that he was interested in the fact that he was virtually invincible . To show such confidence even after seeing this means, in other words, that you have the confidence to destroy it even if you go this far. And that ominous spection actually took over. Its nothing else. PajjijijijikC!! Myth < Sentence of Destruction > is activated. Everyone with divinity who touches the < Sentence of Destruction > loses their holy power permanently in proportion to their case. [Then lets see if this can be prevented! ] Before I knew it, a line of red lightning was fired from the demons fingertips at a transcendental speed. What is this again And when I saw that, I couldnt help butugh inwardly. If you get hit by an attack, do you lose divine power permanently in proportion to the attack? This was like an infinitely fatal blow to me, who had caught up with the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > of the ancient deity of the demon. In terms of actual amount of divine power, unlike the demon god, I dont belong to the axis with so many divine powers. Thats why I was instinctively convinced. If this gets hit for real, I could die! If you go in without thinking like this, you could lose all your divine power. And losing divine power means losing qualifications as a god prior to conception. A situation in which the immortality obtained by bing an ancient deity may not be valid. I thought of offsetting the power of Shinhwa with the divine < Evil Eating >, but I wasnt sure if it would work properly, so I had to choose the next best option. Tick tock! Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect, Attack Nullification is activated. Myth < Sentence of Ruin > is returned to its pre-attack state by Attack Nullification. Regressors Decay A 30-minute cooldown is created for the missing wristwatch (SSS+) exclusive effect, Attack Nullification. Within the moment, one of the exclusive effects of the worn-out wristwatch of the regressor is activated. After a long time, the sound of the hands of the clock came out, and the power of the < Sentence of Destruction >, a myth fired by the Demon God, disappeared. It is as if time has gone backpletely, and it is a neat and unmatched disappearance. All the deities who have seen this so far have been shaken, big or small, so I hoped that I would be able to squeeze through the psychological gap. [Is it one of the holy relics left by the god of time? ] But [ It seems to be returning to the state before the attack by designating an attack, but isnt it very meaningful then? ] Even so, the Demon God casually saw through what he had done. Myth < Sentence of Destruction > is activated. Everyone with divinity who touches the < Sentence of Destruction > loses their holy power permanently in proportion to the case. ] And I had no choice but to grit my teeth. Even if I removed the cooldown of all skills with the transcendence skill, wouldnt it be impossible to reach it at all? It was worth it. Even though I showed off the paddle that I had saved so far, nothing was used by the Demon God. If I had known it would be like this, I would have had to acquire deities with outstanding destructive power in exchange for hundreds of years of cooldown. But regretting it like that didnt change anything. Then Ill have to make the most of my money. Now, there must be only a few minutes left for them to equalize each other with the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Maybe a minute or so at most. Transcendence skills can be extended using ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration] as much as they like. It is impossible to have the same status as the devil with the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Now, the load itself on the body has be unbearable. However, there was no regret in breaking the bottom. I use a divine < spell >. By using a divine < spell >, the range of application of all skills made up of the spell increases. After all, in order to obtain one, you have to give up one. Is the effect of the divine < spell > roughly like this? As soon as I confirmed the effect of the divine < spell >, my eyes shed. Divine < Magic Sequence > expands the application range of all techniques made up of Spells. And this could be seen as meaning that the ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration] would soon be applied to powers and items. If so, have you decided what to do? Blessing skill Shunbo has been designated as the target of [Skill cooldown eleration]. The cooldown of the authority Shunbo is reset with [Skill cooldown eleration]. Exclusive effect Attack Nullification is changed to [ [Skill Cooldown eleration] has been applied. The exclusive effect Attack Nullification is initialized with [Skill Cooldown eleration]. [ Rotten. ] And. [With this, I wont be able to use this for a while. ] Soon I used the transcendence skill again. A transcendence skill that could be used many times with the ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration]. Now I could be sure that it would have a cooldown of 10 years. That would be the case Exclusive authority #A-0107[Transcendence skill] is activated. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skills can be designated as a skill. You wont be able to get rid of the skills cooldown. Selectionplete. And then. Exclusive authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill] designates the seven types of white swords. The transcendence skill Seven Types of White Swords (EX) is created and can be used as a skill for 1 minute. The moment when the martial arts learned from is designated as a transcendence skill. [ What the hell is that? ] The face of the Demon God, who had maintained an unshakable attitude until now, was shaken. [ Han Seong-yoon. What the hell have you done? ] For the first time, it radiated feelings closer to wariness than interest. Chijijijijijijijijijin! And then, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Wave Heaven Sword trembled violently, and at the same time I smiled. [I dont think you can take this casually, either? ] And. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill , Spirit Source Demonic Sword, Doubling is activated. ] next moment. [The White Swordsman] . Just as it was, the light that could pierce even the sky became a single line and infuriated the demon god. Chapter 320 320. New Religion (1) The White Sword Seven Ceremony. A skill that can be said to have reached the highest level among the martial arts currently acquired. A skill that wasparable to divine power was designated as a transcendence skill, and it went beyond its limit at once. Even if this is an ancient deity, the damage cannot be prevented! It was worth it. This is a skill that can only be used for one minute. Even now, there was no advantage of resetting all cooldowns by disabling the ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration]. Even if you reset the cooldown and use it, transcendence skills cannot be applied to multiple skills at once. So, the transcendent cooldown resetting effect of the ck magic [Skill Cooldown eleration] ispletely gone. And Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] is set to White Sword Seven. Until the use of Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] is < 00 :00:51 > left. Dedicated permission #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill] gets a cooldown of 10 years when the time expires. With this, the real exclusive permission Transcendence Skill will be a superpower that cannot be used. . At least for 10 years, which is the cooldown of transcendence skills. But even with that, theints werent that great. Anyway, this one number will end everything. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The moment when the light from the sword became a single line, scattered the red thunderbolts, and was stabbed by the demon. [What! ] In the blink of an eye, the demon god drooled and stretched out his palm stained with purple divinity to block the de. Divinitypressed to the limit, reminiscent of a furnace. Thats why even the herbivore of the White Sword Guanchen, who had the ability to prate all defenses, was stopped by such overwhelming divine power. But even that was only for a moment. That would be the case. Damn-. [What is this! ] At the same time as the demon gods face was distorted, the condensed divinity in the palm of his hand was shattering. Divinity, alreadypressed to the point of not knowing its end, was driven to the brink of destruction. But if it stopped like this, wouldnt it be a waste to use the transcendence skill? My eyes shed at him, and I swung my sword at once. Even The exclusive effect of the power skill skill Soul Source Magic Sword , Double is activated. W). Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Even with the output amplification reaching double digits. As the breaking sword drew a line in the air, the demons body was pulled along the shape of the line and touched the de. But there was no sound of skin being cut. Just an ignorant crashing sound resounded as if a stone was being pounded, and the demons body flew away in an instant. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Did it seed! And I smiled at him with my eyes wide open. Thats probably because there was a feeling that he had definitely broken something at his fingertips. Wasnt it even a blow from the seven swords of the seven swords that had been greatly enhanced with the transcendence skill? Even the Demon God, who had never been allowed to take a blow, would not be able to avoid getting hurt. But the possibility that the damage is still insufficient cannot be overlooked. However, he had no intention of lowering his sword with just one bite. I cant use the transcendence skill anymore anyway. Then I should do everything I can for this time. Isnt the opponent in front of you a monster who has polished his divinity to the limit? The seven swords and swords that I am currently using have been forced to reach the highest level as a skill. If the power of the seven swords and swords acquired through the Transcendence skill is the power that I will obtain in the end, it would be good to know for sure right here. How far can I be strong with non-divine skills? And how the hell can the level that can be surpassed by reaching the perfection of technology hit the ancient deity? Maybe I can do more than I thought But. [Isnt that enough? ] Such thoughts could not lead to reality. [Now I dont think I can go beyond just covering the causal rate. ] It was because the demon appeared suddenly, clearing away the thick dust. [At this point, no matter how much I am, I have no choice but to use divine power. ] And. [What is this again] As soon as I saw his appearance, I couldnt help but frown in shock. [ No blows at all? ] It deserved it. Unlike the feeling of something breaking at the fingertips as soon as he fired the sword, the Demon God was no different from before. no. It wasnt that there wasnt anything that could be called a change at all. It was because the demons body, which had never shown proper power before, was covered with ck aura like armor. Even the face, like a mask, was covered with ck energy moving as if it were alive. And I kind of knew what it was. ck magic. However, unlike normal ck magic, divinity was mixed. Is it more essential than that? Still, ck magic belonged to a type of technology that processed and used magic in a system called magic. Anyone who had at least the sensitivity to Magi and the ability to handle it could learn it. But that wasnt the case. It wasnt enough that the demonic energy was being tuned solely by the divinity, and the energy was bubbling as if it were really alive. It wasnt too difficult to see what was hidden beyond. [Concept divinity] [Thats correct. ] And the drinker said with a smile as if he was happy. [ okay. This is my concept of divinity. Well, even if its just a piece of it, I cant deny that its one of my powers. ] In short, it meant using one of the strongest divinities in the universe. [So there was no blow. ] Then I understand why no damage could be done to him. [ there is no blow? ] By the way [ are you saying that now? ] Upon hearing that, the Demon God answered in a voice mixed with annoyance as if he was dumbfounded. [It wasnt enough that I used the divinity of the concept only to block your sword attack, so the holy power was consumed, but this doesnt hit? ] [ Thats ] [ Bullshit. Even if it was only temporarily, didnt he push until he gained a levelparable to mine and used concept divinity? ] [ . ] [ Thats enough to prove you qualified. ] Drawing a line as if he should be satisfied at this point. But I couldnt deny it, so I kept my mouth shut. Thats right, because the one in front of you is one of the most powerful deities in the universe. Even if he had used almost all of the moves hidden in the transcendental myth < Spirit Tuning >, the fact that he had even briefly matched him was close to a miracle. In fact Time ends. The divine effect < Spirit Indomitable > is canceled when the time limit for the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > ends. The case that was equally tuned with the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > is at its original level. As time passed before I knew it, after raising my level with the < Spirit Tuning > of the transcendence myth, my body felt drained as if I was in a state of exhaustion. [ . ] In fact, there was no power left to deal with monsters like demons. It was really hard to handle even the power of the Demon God, who fought at best in a yful manner. Then, a system message appeared in front of my eyes, and that thought had no choice but to harden. The activation of Exclusive Authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill] is stopped at the end of time. A 10-year cooldown has been created for Exclusive Authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill]. Transcendence Skill White Sword Seven ( EX) Due to the end of the time, the skill will return to its original skill. The effect of the transcendence skill given by the tower has now ended. [ then I understand. ] Thats why I nodded and acknowledged it without any regrets. [The proof of qualifications ends here. ] And. [ Its a great choice, Challenger. ] The demon nodded in satisfaction and continued. [You deserve to find out everything about the tower yourself. ] Now, the long ordeal of the special ss hase to an end. *** In the blink of an eye, system messages crashed like waves and obscured my view. Congrattions, you have broken through the Tower of Trials < Special Layer: Compression Ordeal >. As a breakthrough reward, the Old Magical Sword (SSS) used by an unknown god (SSS) will be sent to your inventory. You have obtained it. You have acquired 80000 SP as a breakthrough reward. Ancient Mystery (S+) will be sent to your inventory as an additional breakthrough reward. Fairy Blessing Powder (S+) as an additional breakthrough reward. will be sent to your inventory. As an additional breakthrough reward, A sk of Unknown Freshness (S+) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. [ Is it really over? ] I wasnt surprised. After all, the original condition for clearing this special ss ordeal is to be the supreme monarch of the Pandemonium. In fact, this was no different from the point where the demon handed over the position of the first monarch. Perhaps the demon god recognized me as being the supreme monarch. Still, as if the trials werepressed in their own way, did the rewards match them? The trial reward isnt bad. In fact, the level ofpensation has risen noticeably. Sword wielded by an unknown god (SSS) Ancient Mystery (S+) Fairys Blessing Powder (S+) A nameless immortal elixir (S+) and so on. It would be surprising to see the item rewards with the lowest starting grade reaching S+ level but I could nt help butugh when I thought that there was a ce to use all of the point-based rewards below it. This is definitely going to be fun when I go back to the waiting room. To the extent that we can look forward to thepensation check in the future. But I havent been able to do that yet. Because there is still work to be done here. Exactly [ so now we can hear the truth about the Tower? ] Its because hearing all the truth about the tower is still not over. [ Of course. ] [If so] [But maybe you cant hear it the way you want. ] [ ? ] What is this again? At that, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the ce where the demon was. As if to rify what that means. Then, unlike before, the demon regained his smiling face and said as if not to misunderstand. [Maybe I can tell you the truth about the tower in an effective way. ] [ Its an effective method. ] [ Nothing special. The inner story of the tower. It is processed to suit the causal rate. I mean give it away ] [ Cant you just say it in words? ] [ If thats the case, in exchange for the causalw, youll really have to deal with all the divine powers I have? ] [ . ] I couldnt help but nod my head at the voice that the causal rate could not be covered in reality. [ that there is a way to convey the truth of the tower with the minimum causal rate. ] [ Thats right! Oh, and actually, this would be more effective than telling people about the tower in words. ] [ ? ] And looking at him as if asking what he was talking about, the demon continued. [Its simr to the towers reappearance power. the beginning of the tower. You can experience it yourself. ] And. [Even if its just an imitation, its possible for me to convey information like the tower does. ] After that, the demon wove the ck energy like a thread with her fingertips, and then the ck energy woven like a thread turned into a book. [Thats] And I couldnt help but be surprised to recognize the divine power entangled in the book. [ A holy relic? ] Thats because its practically like a holy relic possessed by a demon. [Yes, to call it by its official name, this is Remegeton. ] [Remegeton.] [Its a kind of permission to read the records of all demonic beings, and its a book where you can directly see the memories you have. ] [ Then no way! ] [ I think I noticed now. ] And. [From the moment of the beginning of the tower to the origins beyond that, you can experience it all with your own body. ] The moment the demon smiled while bending her eyes like a goat. [Like the ordeal of the tower.] I had to open my eyes wide in amazement. Chapter 321 321. New Religion (2) You have entered the waiting room on the 26th floor. After the ordeal thatpressed severalyers came to an end. As always, I returned to the towers waiting room. He came back because there was nothing more he could aplish in the demon world anyway, but the story of the demon still lingered in his head. A truly deste stone chamber. Standing there, I stared at the ck book in my hand. Lemegeton. A magic book that is like a holy relic of a demon that has never been seen before. And as soon as I saw it, the story the demon had told me began to appear faintly in my mind like ying an old record. It could be said that Remegeton is the record of everything in this universe. At that time, the demon handed over this Remegeton and said so. Not only the origin of the tower, but also records of ancient deities such as the god of darkness or the god of dragons are kept. At least you will know everything about the devil. In a word, Remegeton could be regarded as a book of omniscience containing almost all the truth. But with you now you probably wont be able to read all of them. But that doesnt mean you can really know everything. You will still only be able to read the records permitted by your level. Should I say that this also has a limit like the trial of the tower? There are still not many records that can be directly experienced with Remegeton. Perhaps it would be impossible with this level of authority to find out all the secrets of the ancient deities beyond the origin of the tower. At least he should have the same status as a demon god. Its not bad though. But even so, being able to figure out the beginning of the tower yourself is a good thing. Seeing without seeing a hundred doors. As the saying goes, hearing a hundred times is worse than seeing once It was definitely fascinating to be able to experience the origins of the tower for yourself. It can be experienced directly like the ordeal of the tower, but it wont be a real ordeal of the tower. And there were restrictions as well. No matter what, this is just a record. Unlike the trials of the real tower, the effect of Remegeton is somewhat different. Unlike the towers reappearance, its probably just a memory rey. So, there can be no content that is not remembered. That is, there is such a thing as an error. Remegeton was, after all, a kind of simtion. Like the tower, it is not really recreating a certain time period and imitating it, but making a simtion based solely on memory. Even if it is close to the real thing, a fake is just a fake. Perhaps, if I were topare it to something, it would be something like this. Even if it is a sophisticated shooting game, there are bound to be some differences from shooting in reality. There must be somethingckingpared to the towers abilities. And knowing that, I didnt feel too disappointed. But even considering that, its a good enough effect. After all, if it werent for this Remegeton, there would be many unknowns. Even if you say its an error, you might feel ufortable with the contents you dont remember Then it didnt seem like there was anything to worry about. Thats also the case, because if Remegeton was recorded based on the memories of all demonic beings, almost all information would be stored there. Perhaps the demons memories are also mixed here, so theres nothing to worry about. So, for now, the error that the demon warned about was nothing to worry about. The really important thing is when to use this remegeton. You just need to know about him. and. I think I know roughly. That, too, was something I had set aside. Did I mention that Remegeton is a repository for records and at the same time can get rewards like the Trial of the Tower It was worth it. Isnt it the point where the trials of the tower are approaching the 27th floor? The moment when the iron-blooded monarch and the White Crane Swordsman could die was getting closer and closer. Perhaps now you can think that the only way to grow through the tower is through the trials on the 26th floor. If so, it would have been right to use this Remegeton for the purpose of drawing out all the potential for growth at the end of the day. Is the time to use this now decided? As soon as I finished my thoughts about Remegeton, I calmed my eyes. I really dont have much time left. The origins of the tower and the truths beyond what the tower wants are swaying as if you can touch them. I was sure that everything I had done so far was bearing fruit. The turning point of the story is approaching. Perhaps this will put an end to the entanglement with the tower. Even that is the turning point where the end of the story is bound. And in the process, he felt that climbing the tower itself could end. Even though Im still a 20th-floor challenger, Ive reached the level of an ancient deity. Even if Ipare myself to the challengers who have reached the edge of the tower, I will have the strength to never fall behind them. The moment ising when we can put an end to T.O.P and all the evils entangled in it. Is it going to be a showdown soon? so. I look forward to it. Now will be the time to build up your strength as much as possible in preparation for that time. *** As soon as I had sorted out my thoughts, I immediately activated one of my exclusive privileges. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated. The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward]. The special ss breakthrough reward Old Magical Sword Used by an Unknown God (SSS) is strengthened to Old Magical Sword Used by an Unknown God (SSS+). Ancient Mystery (S+) will be strengthened to Ancient Mystery (SS+) as a specialyer additional breakthrough reward. As a specialyer additional breakthrough reward, Fairy Blessing Powder (S+) is enhanced to Fairy Blessing Powder (SS+). As a specialyer additional breakthrough reward, A sk of a Nameless Immortal (S+) is strengthened to A sk of a Nameless Immortal (SS+). increase in reward. Ever since I got this exclusive privilege, all the rewards Ive gotten from the tower have gone up to a higher level. And it was no different this time. All of the rewards of the special ss trials were going up one by one. Only then did I open my inventory and check the newly acquired rewards one by one. Also very carefully. An old demonic sword wielded by an unknown god Rating: SSS+ Reaction speed +77% Attack speed +77% Divine Amplification +77% Magical response +77% A worn-out demonic sword with traces of being frequently used by an unknown god. Absorbs 1% of the users holy power and mana per second and activates divine < cutting >. Divinity < Cutting > is activated, everything the de touches is severed with divinity and disintegrates. When using it as the will to destroy the sword, the exclusive effect Keep the Sword can be activated. The basic option effect of the magic sword (SSS+) used by the unknown god can be transferred to a B+ grade or higher sword item. However, when the sword item transfers the basic option effect, the magical sword (SSS+) item used by an unknown god disappears. This. The moment I briefly read the description of The Magical Sword (SSS+) Written by an Unknown God. As it was, I had no choice but to tilt my head with my eyes narrowed. That would be too Its ambiguous. The sword itself wasnt that good or bad. At least the basic options for the sword itself are fine, but I just didnt like the fact that it absorbs 1% of the users holy power and magical power every second and activates divine < Cutting >. It doesnt have much merit for a subject that consumes a lot of holy power and mana. Wouldnt it be better to use Divine < Death > rather than something like Divine < Cut >? Even if it wasnt something like Divine < Cutting >, I had already reached the level of swordy where I could use not only sword steel but also mind sword. As long as it doesnt be a conceptual divinity, Im confident with my pure skills. Thats why it didnt look very nice with the divine < cutting > attached, but as soon as I saw the exclusive effect underneath it, my eyes sparkled. Maintenance of the sword? as soon as. It means that the basic option effect of Sword Written by an Unknown God (SSS+) can be transferred to sword items. As soon as I saw that, I could see why this sword wielded by an unknown god (SSS+) was SSS+ grade. Its definitely nice to be able to transfer the effect of the sword If the effect of the swords basic option can be transferred with this, the story will inevitably be different. Even if it wasnt so, there was a feeling that the piercing swords performance was slightlycking, but it turned out well. Thats why I immediately transferred all the basic options of the sword to the breaking sword. The magic sword (SSS+) exclusive effect Keep the Sword used by an unknown god is activated. All the basic options of the demonic sword (SSS+) used by the unknown god will be transferred to the Destructive Sword (S+). and. Pass-. In an instant, the sword wielded by an unknown god (SSS+) disappeared, and a ck light shed from the sword. Its as if something has changed and you want to check it out. As soon as I saw it, I opened the description window of the sword, and before I knew it, the basic options of the sword had changed. Only then did I smile with a satisfied smile. The performance has definitely changed dramatically. At this point, the performance of the sword of destruction isparable to that of the sword of blood. Even if you dont, isnt it the sword youve been cherishing since you selected it as your main equipment? I couldnt help but feel better as the basic performance of the piercing sword increased so much that it was noticeable. However, it was only for a moment that I was satisfied with the new performance upgrade of the piercing sword. He took out other rewards from the inventory as well. Ancient Mystery Rating: SS+ The mystery of the magical essence created by an alchemist in ancient times. When taken, magic ability increases by +150 ording to the ancient mystery. Ancient Mystery (SS+) has a crystal-like appearance with a deep color like the sea. Fairy Blessing Powder Rating: SS+ Heavenly powder given by pure fairies to bless good people. When taken, physical ability increases by +150 with the blessing of a pure fairy. Fairys Blessing Powder (SS+) contained golden powder in a small ss bottle. The elixir of an unknown immortal Rating: SS+ An elixir created by an unknown immortal through the boration technique to create the strongest external attack. When taken, the skin bes unstained, and durability increases by +150. The Elixir of Unknown Immortal (SS+) looked like a small green pill. And these three items had something inmon. Not different Are these all items for increasing stats? It was the fact that the effects of all items were focused solely on increasing stats. Well, theres nothing wrong with stat growth anyway It cant be used for a very general purpose, but the ability increase wasnt bad. Even though I have be an ancient god, I am still greatly affected by my physical abilities. Now, if the stats that have grown like monsters go up even more, it cant be a loss, so I put all the items in my mouth and took them. You have consumed the Ancient Mystery (SS+). Challenger Seongyoon Hans magic power increases by +150. I ingested Fairys Blessing Powder (SS+) Challenger Han Seong-yoons physical strength increases by +150 Subscribe to the Elixir of a Nameless Immortal (SS+) Challenger Han Seong-yoons durability +150 prize Is this the end of the items obtained from the specialyer? As it is, all three stats were increased by +150, and the reward ended. Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated. The manager-only secret shop will be opened. You paid [1000000] points to the admin-only secret shop. All stats increase by 20. In response, I immediately activated the exclusive authority obtained from the 19th floor < Bloodborne Ceremony > quest and converted all points into stats. I dont have any more items to buy anyway, so this would be better. Even if its not, doesnt the efficiency increase every time the ability level increases? In fact, with this, it was as if I had stats dozens of times greater than before. I tried to consume the newly acquired SP from the managers shop as well, but A system message suddenly appeared in front of my eyes to stop the action. What is this again? It was worth it. A new message has arrived from the challenger The Wizard of the Clock Tower. The system message that really appeared unexpectedly was so unexpected that it was absurd. Wizard of the clock tower? The one who didnt even add friends in the towers system. But when someone like that sent me a message, I couldnt help but be dumbfounded. Originally, I understand that it was impossible to send messages unless they were recognized as mutually exchanged in the system Could it be that something has changed? I dont know why, but it seems like a familiar nickname? And as I was thinking about it, I was able to figure out the identity of the sender of this message. Could this be from David Taylor, whom I saw in London? David Taylor. A person who met as a team member in the 13th floor integration ordeal while climbing the tower, and formed a bond while catching a challenger from the other world who entered London. No, in fact, you could just say that I was one of those people who pretended to be an apostle and ripped off items like a hukou. But thats why I couldnt understand it. Why is David Taylor texting me all of a sudden? Although I had previously told David Taylor that I was an apostle, I hadnt made much of a friendship. Its not even to the point of suddenly talking like this. Its not a problem that can be known by thinking like this anyway, so I read David Taylors message as it is. and. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Apostle Han Seong-yoon. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (Floor 20): I am sorry to suddenly contact you with the authority of the administrator, but there is something I must confirm with the apostle. -Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): because a new religion is appearing all over the world after an apostle killed another apostle in Las Vegas before. The moment I read David Taylors messages within. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): the name of the emerging religion is called Cheonshingyo, and the leader of that ce is greatly inting its power by saying this. Only then did I realize the seriousness of the situation. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Apostle Han Seong-yoon is one of the faithful servants of the head of the Cheonshin Church himself. What is this again? Thats very certain. Chapter 322 322. New Religion (3) Religion. Worshiping a god or a transcendent being as the support of the mind and following its unique ethics. And this was also a kind of divinity supply and demand ce in the world where deities and ancient deities actually exist. The supply of divinity and faith is usually easy to obtain through religion. It was worth it. Anyway, I dont need to have a religion because I dont have a few abilities optimized for necromancy, divinity, and stealing faith but for normal deities, wouldnt that mean something different? For them, religion is a source of power and a basic source of divinity and faith, which must be indispensable. But I was different from thosemon deities. I have no reason to have a religion. In the first ce, the first acquisition of divinity was also different from the normal case. Somehow, through necromancy, he gained the divine power that the preliminary apostle had, and even after that, he followed the power given by the tower and gained the divine power of the concept. In the process, being worshiped by others was only a small part. There was no such thing as a proper religious organization. He reached this point only by establishing his own strength and a myth based on it. So, despite bing an ancient deity, I still didnt have a proper religion. By the way, what the hell are you talking about? Perhaps that is the case. -The Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): The Cheonshingyo introduces Apostle Han Seong-yoon as their servant is that true? As soon as I saw the news of David Taylor, I felt a warm feeling in my head. What is this again Iughed at him and red at the message from the system as if I was dumbfounded. Are you really crazy? Ive never made a religion even though Ive be a god. A heavenly religion? It was the most absurd thing I had ever heard, so I sent David Taylors answer right away. Even in a very negative tone. -Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Well then, Im d Only then did David Taylor send me a message as if he was relieved. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Currently, the Celestial Church is forcing guilds and hunter associations around the world to worship the Celestial Church. and. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Even that in the name of Han Seong-yoon. The moment I saw the following messages from David Taylor. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Han Seong-yoon is a servant of the heavenly gods, and they say that they can use Han Sung-yoon like limbs. Before I knew it, I smiled as I felt my hand spontaneously clench into a fist. Are you saying that you can use me like a limb For some reason, the heat in my head fills up, and a nk smile hangs over my mouth. Its fun. forced worship. I never thought that they would try to use me who is not on Earth to create a religion. Its really fun. Its just that its not me wholl end up being boring at the end, its just the members of a strange organization called the Celestial Church. -Hunter (26th floor): Who is it? And in response, I immediately handed over the question to David Taylor. -Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): yes? -Hunter (26th floor): Who is it? Those whom I say are servants of the Celestial Church. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): I dont know. However, it is said to consist of top rankers and some S-ss hunters -Hunter (26th floor): Where are they? -Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Maybe Chunshin religion is all over the world, but Korea is probably the main axis. -Hunter (26th floor): Korea? C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Yes. This is because the nationality of Apostle Han Seong-yoon is Korea. Thats why they say they are working with that ce as one of the main axes -Hunter (26th floor): Okay. I cant hear any more So youre in Korea? Celestial Church. No matter who I am, a ce that ims to be able to use me as a servant has taken root in Korea? I have to be really willing. If so, it would be possible to deal with them without wasting time. And while I calmly calmed my eyes and controlled my anger, another message came from David Taylor before I knew it. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Then I understand that Apostle Han Seong-yoon will take care of the work himself. In a word, he meant that now he would let go. Anyway, the reason why he contacted me so urgently must have been because the Celestial Church was talking nonsense about the clock tower to which David Taylor belonged. So I didnt really care. Rather, I feel a little gratitude to David Taylor for letting me know that such an absurd thing is happening. Thats why I replied right away. -Hunter (26th floor): Yes. By the way C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Ah yes. If so, the Clock Tower will step back from this. Perhaps someone from your organization will guide you in detail. It was as if there was already a ce to inform me of this situation. I was suspicious of his words and actions, saying that he was not even referring to someone, but that he belonged to a group. no. In fact, wouldnt it be more like a kind of intuition rather than a doubt? It was ominous to see David Taylor so proudly referring to a group despite not having a group he belonged to. -Hunter (Floor 26): You mean a person belonging there? Feeling ominous in those words, I asked the question. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Isnt that the religion where Apostle Han Seong-yoon is the main axis? and. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Transcendence. The moment David Taylors words followed. C Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Isnt that the religion that worships Apostle Han Seong-yoon? As it was, I had no choice but to blink and express my doubts. huh? No, what is this really? *** For now, the story with David Taylor has been concise. Anyway, theres nothing to be gained by talking to David Taylor like this. It was worth it. David Taylor doesnt even know that much in the first ce. I really only knew the minimum information, and when I asked about things like the Celestial Church or the Transcendental Church, they just said they didnt know. Cheonshingyo and Transcendentalism? To be honest, I would have a headache if I went to Cheonshingyo. It was shocking to hear that a ce called the Transcendence Bridge had appeared. Maybe something like the Transcendental Bridge came about because of what I showed you then? If I had to guess at least, I could understand Transcendentalism. It is because he has revealed his power to all parts of the world by defeating the apostle sent down to Las Vegas by the god of battle before. There must be people who worship me after seeing that. But why did it take the form of transcendentalism that even David Taylor would know about? Even when he just revealed his power as a godhead, he probably didnt have that many worshippers. Its strange to say that something like a transcendental bridge suddenly appeared without knowing why But within a moment, I shook my head and gave up my thoughts. No, its okay. In the first ce, Transcendentalism doesnt have to be so important. To put it mildly, between the Tensingyo and the Transcendentalists, the more eye-catching is the Tensingyo. Even if there is Transcendence, it wont bother me too much. From the point of view of Godhead, Transcendentalism itself was not bad. Because it is possible to acquire a fixed faith through Transcendentalism. Contrary to the way in which faith has been supplied and received from not so many people, Transcendentalism will help grow, albeit weakly. So I hadnt thought about worrying about that yet. Still, the Celestial Church is something that cannot be left unattended. But it is not a Catholic religion. Currently, the Chunshin religion is nothing else, iming that they can use me as a servant, and they are acting ridiculously. Even the Hunter Association is showing its influence. Perhaps the reason why this could be is because of the rankers of various towers belonging to the Celestial Church and the hunters recorded at the top . And more than anything else, it could uselessly act as a variable while climbing the tower. At least I thought it would be right to cut off the buds at once because there was nothing good left like this. I have no choice but to spend some time. After sorting out my thoughts before I knew it, I immediately purchased a hearthstone using the shopsmand. You purchased a Hearthstone (D+). The moment I used a D+ grade Hearthstone that I had never bought except when I went to the giant treebyrinth. Challenger Han Seong -yoons intention to return has been confirmed. But it didnt matter too much. In the first ce, this ce itself is no longer a living space, but just a point to arrive when returning from the tower. And as soon as I finished returning to Earth, I turned on my smartphone and immediately sent a message to Lee Ha-yeon and made a call. Roughly, the content of the message was about something to say about the Tenshinkyo. Maybe I cant get it right away. However, I did not think that Lee Ha-yeon would be contacted right away. This time, he returned unterally without coordinating with her. She probably wouldnt be able to react immediately as she didnt know I was back. But even if you dont receive it right away, its enough if you at least let them know that youve been contacted urgently -Mr. Seo Seong-yoon? huh? Contrary to what I thought, Lee Ha-yeon contacted me as soon as I called. Doesnt that mean that he answered the phone right away considering that it took about 4 seconds to actually contact him? I really cant believe it, but were you even preparing for a call? But there was no time to answer questions about him. -Are you really Sungyoon? Oh, Im not ready yet! No, how did youe back so suddenly-. Suddenly, Lee Ha-yeon spoke gibberish like that, then stopped talking and started talking about another topic. -no. no Because thats not important right now. Seo Sung-yoon Mr. Are you really Sungyoon? And to that, I also answered her words without any question. yes. Im right. And I have a story to tell. -what to say? Thats right. Its called celestialism. They say there is a ce where they do very unpleasant things. -iced coffee. Thats it. ha. I was going to tell you even if its not, but I dont know if I should call this a good thing. ? C Celestial Church. Those filthy heretics who dare to mention Mr. Seong-yoon Hmmmm, no, I was just about to tell you about the pseudos. Heresy? Ha-yeon, do you have a new religion? C Oh no! Wait a minute, Im out of words! Ah yes. It didnt really matter what religion Lee Ha-yeon believed in anyway, so I passed it on. -Rather than that, I have something to tell you about the Celestial Church. Those pseudos areing to the Hunter Association, mentioning Seongyun. Are you talking to the Hunter Association? -yes. and. C They forced the Hunter Association to worship the Celestial Church. So Im on my way there now too. C Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Its better because Sungyoon is there too. I can only stop their depravity now. Ive been mentioning Seong-yoon all this time, but I really sigh. How are you? -yes? Where exactly is the Celestial Church? Then, I used ck magic to ask questions while barely keeping my hands from straining so that the smartphone wouldnt break. Jijijijijik Jijijijik!! [Tending vortex] The essence of space jump, which can move to a specific ce in an instant, began to unfold. You can tell me where they are now. Guess Because Im on my way. It seemed that sooner orter someone would get a headache. Chapter 323 323. New Religion (4) Chijijijijijikjik! In an instant, the space jump technique unfolded, and the space everywhere shook. Enduring Vortex Is it because she has increased her mastery of ck magic by killing countless ck magicians? Before he knew it, ck magic, like the essence of space movement, could be performed without any blockage. Even to the level of being able to go anywhere on thisnd. So there was no need to hold back the anger that rose to the top of my head any longer. You just need to tell us where the Heavenly Fathers are. After all, you can find something like the Heavenly Religion in a month, wherever you are. -Thats Those pseudos of Cheonshingyo are in the Hunter Association in SeoulC. and. All right. C Now wait! If you tell me where you are, Sungyoon, I can teleport to pick you up! no. I dont think thats necessary. -yes? Soon after, he refused Lee Ha-yeons kind consideration and the moment when his eyes filled with anger shed. Somehow, I also got a space-type ability. Cheer up-! In the blink of an eye, the appearance of the surroundings began to changepletely due to ck magic. The appearance of the space changes countless times, just like changing channels on a TV. Looking at it, the sounding out of the smartphone crackled and seemed to cut off. Thats why I gave you the news briefly. -What the hell is that See you at the Seoul Hunter Association. pop. And with that, I hung up on my smartphone and expanded my senses. Seoul. There was no need to search for the exact location of the Seoul Hunter Association. That would be the case anyway, because I was a superman before the Ancient Godhead. All abilities easily exceeded 2000 degrees, and the body and senses far exceeded the human category. It was able to figure out the shape of everything on thisnd as naturally as breathing, even without the action of magical power. I just didnt do it because I didnt have to do it until now. How many seconds had it been in an unstable state where the shape of the space changed over hundreds of times? As soon as I noticed the unique logo of the Hunter Association engraved as always, along with the weak divine power felt like a bug at some point, I twisted my mouth. Its fun. It was worth it. I wondered why a pseudo-religion like the Celestial Church suddenly appeared I never thought those with divine power would do something like this. It seemed that only now the outlines of this absurd situation could be grasped. Yes, it turned out that he was a eater looking for a hidden restaurant, right? Perhaps the reason for the appearance of a cult like the Celestial Church was because of the divinity. I dont know who it is, but it seems that this earth dimension actually looks like a delicious restaurant It was interesting. With what kind of confidence do you dare to openly make a mess like this? And then, I used the ck magic [folding whirlpool] to move directly to the Seoul Hunter Association, and then I was able to arrive at the wide conference hall. I think I arrived just fine huh? By the way DThat guy As soon as he entered the meeting room of the Seoul Hunter Association, a familiar face caught his eye. DIsnt that the bug at that time? Even if it wasnt Damcheonwoos words resounding from the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, you could tell. Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!! That would be the case too ha ha ha Han Seong-yoon! Eric. When the god of battle invaded the earth, there was someone who had seen it here. A foolish challenger who had previously been at the conference hall of the American Hunter Association suddenly quarreled with me and was frustrated with himself why why is a monster like you here!! Now he was frightened as if foaming at the mouth while wearing a sky-blue coat. Its like someone who fell into a pseudo-religion. Seeing that, I had tough right away. Is this what bad luck is meant to be? He would be like that This is Eric was feeling divine power before he knew it. Are you a prospective apostle? Thats the level of divine power where you can feel the reverberation of the godhead. *** It was absurd. At this point, Im about tough nonsense. I never thought Id be able to see Eric here, whom I saw when I returned to Earth before. In fact, I didnt even expect him to show up here Eric was horrified, as if having a seizure, that it was the same. But Erics seizurested only for a moment. Is that Han Seong-yoon? do. Where the hell did you suddenly appear from? Could it be that Han Seong-yoon really belongs to the Heavenly Church? Because before I knew it, people sitting in the conference hall were spitting out various words as if they were surprised. As if he was guessing that he hade here as a servant of the Celestial Church. And before I could say anything to him, a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the conference hall knocked the table to calm themotion. Be quiet, gentlemen. Isnt the situation decided anyway? Perhaps the middle-aged man sitting at the top of the conference hall is the representative of the Seoul Hunter Association How the hell did he interpret this situation? In fact, he continued to speak in a gloomy voice. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Could it be that you came here to join the request of the Celestial Church? It was only then that I realized what the middle-aged man in the upper seat was thinking. Im guessing you thought you came here to give strength to the far-fetched ims of the Celestial Church. However, the very thought itself made me feel very displeased, and I answered without hesitation. partisanship? Do you think I came here because of that? yes? If I had to ask why I came here, lets say I came here for the opposite reason. Wait. Ha Han Seong-yoon Challenger. The opposite reason? Then, please Perhaps you are right. and. I just came because the Cheonshin Church was using my name all of a sudden. The moment he said that and looked at Erics ce with angry eyes. Are you going to do that? Whoa-! Suddenly, a roar rang out from one side of the conference hall, and the marble there cracked and bounced. Doesnt it seem like you dare to do something very rude to a prospective apostle of the Celestial Church? The moment I turned my head to the epicenter of the explosion. There, I could see a man with a ponytail, pressing down on the marble floor. Even that, in a state where the eyes glisten with life. As it was, he said with a sneer on his lips. Bugs dont you know who I am? Zhang Wei. He is the one chosen by the Celestial Church. Suddenly, he continued to speak with even the magic power he needed to live. Do not unnecessarily interfere with religious events, and get out of here Perhaps, at this point, did I know that I would at least step down? Dont bullshit. But this isnt scary at all, it just makes me angry. I dont know what the hell he was trying to do with such confidence, but Unfortunately for Zhang Wei, I had no intention of listening to his nonsense. Even if its not the case, Im annoyed that you suddenly came down from the tower because of trivial things like you. what what? Jiang Wei. You look like a challenger. Didnt you hear from Eric? What is that If I act like this for real, I can break the bone. And as I said that, I turned my gaze to Eric, and he trembled and said as if making excuses. ha ha Han Seong-yoon! Oh misunderstood! This body has nothing to do with this But that was only for a moment. ha. Eric Why is this bastard suddenly giving a damn? Are you a prospective apostle like me? Zhang Wei spoke in a cool voice, as if covering Erics mouth before he could speak. Perhaps he was reluctant to let the Hunter Association know that I had nothing to do with it. I, I, I I was just forced to be here! Hey Eric. Are you really crazy? I think the headmaster will forgive me even if I do some shit like this Shut the fuck up! In the first ce, even the headmaster didnt say it would be like this! Its something I dont know! Eric even stepped back slightly from the spot because that was not enough. Erics eyes were stained with fear as if he were looking at a traumatic subject. In fact, he could now say that proper resistance was impossible. hmm. Was the memory that intense? At this point, it is now to the point where I have to doubt whether I have developed a mental illness due to the divine authority at that time. More than I thought, it seemed that being mmed into the ground with the divine < Sword Spirit > remained as an impressive memory. However, it is true that Eric intervened in the affairs of the Celestial Church, so he will be held ountable. Because thats why I came down from the tower in the first ce. Its just that hes shown such a helpless attitude that he doesnt feel the need to touch him right now. And when Zhang Weis restraint went back to nothing, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the conference hall frowned and said in a cold voice. The Celestial Church. He said he could use Han Seong-yoon like a servant. Dont you think so? It was worth it. So far, youve been citing Han Seong-yoons challenger and making unreputable ims, but in fact, all of that was a lie, right? Currently, the Celestial Church is in the same situation as forcing half-worship on the Hunter Association. And I was being used as a kind of negotiating card at the base of such trickery. However, since it turns out that this is in factpletely unrted bullshit, isnt it natural for the president of the association to react so sharply? hot! But So? Despite being caught, Zhang Wei continued talking as if he had no intention of denying it. Will that change anything if Han Seong-yoon isnt a member of the Celestial Church? her? Anyway, the reason you fear Han Seong-yoon is because of his power, right? What is that Then its simple! and. Ill just show you that Im stronger than that poor bastard! The moment when Zhang Weis eyes were filled with murderous intent. Deed-! As it was, the divine power was slowly released from Jiang Wei, and the atmosphere shook. Yup. What the hell is this Now, Zhang Wei really has the same power as Han Seong-yoon!? And at the same time, everyone in the conference hall vomited in astonishment, and Zhang Weiughed out loud. Hahahahahahaha! A reaction as if enjoying the astonishment of those in the conference hall. Yeah, thats actually good! Just like that, he turned his head and looked at me, then smiled. Han Sungyoon, I was wondering why an idiot like you is treated as the worlds strongest! and. Lets see how far your insignificant and insignificant power will work!! Soon, Zhang Weis eyes became cloudy and filled with desire. In this ce, I will crush people like you at once and be the new worlds strongest As it was, I spoke as if to interrupt Zhang Wei. [ The worlds strongest? ] Huh? [Something like you? ] what is this? Is there still a minimum knowledge? You can put divinity into your voice? As soon as he heard the divine echo, Zhang Weis face hardened rapidly. [Yes, now it seems that I have a better understanding of the situation. ] However, it wasnt long before Zhang Weis face became pale. [But its already toote. ] next moment. Divine < Words > are used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed when you use words that interfere with the logic of the world. Kneel. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! Just like that, Zhang Weis body was crushed on the marble floor. Chapter 324 324. Emerging Religion (5) The divine < word spirit > is used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. It will be done. Kneel. The moment he said that to Zhang Wei while activating the Divine < Speech Spirit >. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the blink of an eye, Zhang Weis body was pressed down, and a scream of pain echoed through the hall. Kuk-! It was worth it. Even if Zhang Wei received divine power from the godhead, it was still at the level of a preliminary apostle. It was just a trivial catch for me, who had faced countless adversities and finally entered the realm of ancient godhood. [Are you sure you understand the situation at this point? ] Then I looked down at Zhang Wei with cold eyes and said. [In the first ce, something like you wasnt even worth fighting for. ] As if looking at an insect that was sharpening its de as if it could win against a wild beast in earnest. But didnt he like being looked down on as if he was so insignificant? Before he knew it, Zhang Wei gnashed his teeth with his eyes wide open and let out a vicious sound. Keep it off! A bastard like a buggery aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I yed a cowardly trick! But that was only for a moment. Be pressed down. The moment when he activated the Divine < Speech Spirit > again and increased the pressure on Zhang Wei. thud. Kek! Zhang Weis eyes widened slightly, and his face began to contort in pain. You rotten bastard But do you still have the strength to use your tongue? Despite directly realizing the power gap, Zhang Wei continued to curse. And seeing that, I smiled and activated the Divine < Sword Spirit > again. Be pressed down. Kwaaang-! ugh! ha hot! I can endure this kind of thing! Be pressed down. Kwajijik-! Fuck if this is solved you will tear your limbs apart and feed them to the dogs Be crushed. !! Crackle! How many times did he have to repeat the sound that was scattered throughout the conference room like breaking sorghum cans? Suddenly, the sound of breaking and tearing rather than cracking something echoed through Zhang Weis body. To the point where it wouldnt be strange even if it ended in death. And Smash it The moment he tried to activate the sacred < Speech Spirit > again on Zhang Wei. Enough [ ? ] Forgive me please [ . ] Before he knew it, Zhang Wei spoke as if begging with tears flowing down his face. Only then did I slightly loosen the constraints of the Divinity < Lord of Words > on Zhang Wei, and spoke as if I was genuinely curious. [What the hell are you talking about? ] Please save me. Please have mercy on me [Wei Zhang. Didnt you say you were the best in the world just a few minutes ago? Then you have to do your best to beat me in this spot. ] I was wrong [Yes? ] You dont even have to listen to Zhang Weis words to the end. [Still, its toote to call back now. ] As it is, I walked over to Zhang Wei and lightly touched his head with my toe. As if lightly rolling a ser ball forward, the action is truly light. I didnt really intend to put too much effort into it. I had no intention of killing Zhang Wei on the spot anyway. Its just a matter of being slightly by my standards but not slightly by Zhang Weis standards. Kwaaang-! Soon there was a sound of something exploding, and the moment Zhang Weis head tilted back once. Kwak Puff-. Jiang Weis eyes darkened and his body stretched out. At first nce, it looks like its dead but in fact, it only caused a light concussion. If left as it is, Zhang Wei will probably recover like a superman before long. Only then did Ipletely cancel the Divine Spirit, and I touched the nape of my neck and said in annoyance. Making you unnecessarily strain Then, I sat down while looking around the conference hall filled with suffocating silence. Not only the middle-aged man who seemed to be the representative of the Seoul Hunter Association, but everyone in the audience looked at them with astonished eyes. Like it doesnt look like the same person at all. However, I got used to this level of treatment anyway, so I smiled and said as if I was clearing up the cluttered atmosphere. Hey And then. With this, it seems that the rtionship with the Celestial Church has been roughly settled. Soon, the moment when the divine power quietly shimmered in the eyes. Can I hear what happened so far? In an instant, the time of confession began. *** Time passed quickly. I think I know roughly what happened. Eric and Kim Ik-chul, who introduced himself as the representative of the Seoul Hunter Association, quickly exined the situation. And listening to the exnation, I was able to notice what had settled in the main axis of the Tenshinkyo. That would be the case Its a structure that worships a certain deity, and its the most efficient way to spread it. Tensingyo was conspicuously structured as an apostle parasol along with deity worship. Its one of the tricks of the godhead. Even if it wasnt, I guessed because I could feel the presence of divinity in Zhang Wei along with Eric. Perhaps the identity of the person who did this on Earth was a god. And that guess has now turned into half-certainty. Theres a high probability that hes at least a divinity with enough status in another dimension. It was worth it. This is because the path that the Celestial Church has walked so far has been too biased toward the worship of the divine. Even the process was familiar, as if I had done this a few times. Earth must be a kind of restaurant for the godhead. Even if it wasnt, I couldnt help but sigh as this had happened a couple of times before. In the end, the problem is that there is no proper divine protection on Earth. And thats why I was able to notice that this would happen again and again. Perhaps this can be done only when a proper deity takes root. The earth is not an empty house, so if it is announced that no one can explore it like a restaurant, such tricks will disappear. But even so, I couldnt put down roots here. Unlike ordinary divinities, I paved the way for myself and came to this ce with mythical power rather than someone elses faith. The trajectory of life itself is far from leading a religion and being worshiped by everyone. So I didnt really want to establish a religion on Earth. And its a waste to spend time on Earth. Even more than anything, I didnt want to waste my time establishing a religion. Just as the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials is now approaching There is already a lot of work to be done. . To use the Remegeton where the truth of the Tower is recorded. To achieve the long-awaited wish of the White Crane Inspection. And in the trial on the 27th floor of the tower beyond that, changing the predetermined future that the god of proof said. Thinking about that, it wasnt very pleasant to waste time on Earth like this. This seems like the only correct answer is periodic sweeping. So I had no choice but to exclude the establishment of a religion from the options. Well, it would be a different story if I happened to get a proper religion on Earth. Of course, its not that I dont have thoughts about religion at all. If, on Earth, a religion about me naturally arises and grows, I would have thought to manage it to a certain extent. Time would not be so much wasted on a religion so established. But soon after thinking about it, I smiled and then shook my head to erase the thought from my mind. Theres no way something like that could happen And as soon as I put my thoughts together, I looked at Kim Ik-cheol and asked him a question. By the way, dont you know where the head of the Celestial Church is? At that, Kim Ik-cheol was taken aback, then nodded with a worried face and replied. yes. In Cheonshingyo, only members other than the religious leader appear. The headmaster himself is not showing up. In fact, even if it was the Hunter Association, it was said that the head of the Celestial Church could not be identified That was understandable. If the head of the Celestial Church is truly a god, you wont be able to find out where he is as a mere human. Still, just in case, I asked Eric if he knew anything. I dont even know! I really am! The religious leader always issues orders through the apostles, so theres very little to know! It was equally unprofitable. I heard that this belongs to the Heavenly Church, but I dont know anything about it. That But among the members of the Tenshinkyo Church, I know a lot in my own way So, dont you know where the people you serve are or what they are? Enough. Then, the apostle who gave orders instead of the religious leader. Where is he? uh? No Im not sure about that either. If you really dont know that, youll die. Now, wait a minute! Eric shook his head in fright, probably knowing that life is precious though. but I cant help but guess! Is this why the saying that hawks are medicine is floating around? Before he knew it, Eric rolled his eyes and seemed to roll his hair in an inappropriate way. Even the sound that came out of his mouth wasnt that bad because it was more proper than I thought. Ah, maybe the apostle is in London. The basis. because thest time I met the apostle, he said he was going to persuade David Taylor from the Clock Tower. okay? Actually, based on the apostles schedule, he seems to have guessed where he might be It seems that the influence of the Tenshinkyos has spread quite a bit, and their hands have reached troublesome ces. And there is a possibility that the religious leader may be there. Not even that. A teacher? From Erics mouth, who had said he didnt know anything, came up with a rumor about the religious leader, albeit spective. Its only spection, but the apostle said this when we went there Even If things go well in London, many strong people from all over, including David Taylor, will gather. Its also in a different form than I thought. And there, they will subdue all the strong and make them worship the headmaster . Even if the four apostles are strong, you wont be able to subjugate them all. So the leader can appear Its okay now. uh? and. I think I know now. next moment. Where and what does the head of the Celestial Church want to do? Just like that, I smiled with the intent to kill, and my eyes shed. Chapter 325 325. Gap (1) Celestials. A religious group that has been influential all over the world at some point. Those who belonged to it wereposed of strong people who spread their names widely as hunters or challengers, respectively. As if it had to be like this from the beginning, the appearance of the strong who went into the teachings of the Tensingyo. Contrary to popr belief, the members of the Celestial Church, who have nothing inmon except for their skills, did not enter there by their own will. That would be the case too [Youre here, apostle. ] Everyone has no choice but to submit to a monster that has reached the position of god. yes. teacher Akiyoshi Yuuta, the apostle of the Celestial Church, has arrived. Akiyoshi Yuuta. A tower challenger and a promising genius who was once pointed out as Japans next-generation powerhouse. However, there was nowhere to be seen of the confidence of the past when he prostrated himself in sky-blue apparel like a cultist. I took care of everything rted to Han Seong-yoon as youmanded. An underground altar where not even a handful of light can enter. The figure of Yuuta Akiyoshi as he bowed to the person sitting on the other side was dotted with awe and despair. However, Akiyoshi Yuuta did not find that humiliating. no. To be more precise, he was just d that he could survive by worshiping the monster in front of him. As expected, that person is like the sky that no one can win. It was worth it. Unlike idiots like Eric or Zhang Wei, Akiyoshi Yuuta had a shallow sense of the leaders power. Was it because he was selected as an apostle because he received divine power from the head of the Celestial Church? Before he knew it, Akiyoshi Yuuta was able to sense to some extent the power of the monster in front of him. Already in his eyes, the power of the head of the Catholic Church is not just a woman, but like a kind of living natural disaster in contact with providence. Everything he had umted so far was at the level of disappearing at the touch of her hand. And that living fortune looked down at Akiyoshi Yuuta with a benevolent eye smile as if satisfied. [Whoops. Good job. Yuuta. Certainly you are the most useful here. I was disappointed because there are only so many bad things on Earth. ] that is too much to say. [With this, when Han Seong-yoon returns, no one will make him an object of faith. ] probably. At that, the head of the Tenshinkyo church nodded and his eyes twinkled. Like a star shining in the night sky, a divine twinkle arose in her eyes. A form of noble light, as if the starlight over there was extracted and embedded. However, contrary to the glitter of that noble divinity, the corners of the mouth of the priest of the Celestial Church drew an infinitely obsceneugh. [All the power of the Godheades from faith. ] That, too, was augh of infinitely thick malice. [After all, Han Seong-yoon is just a minor level deity, so if you destroy all the faith on Earth, you wont be able to use your strength. ] Tuk-tuk. [You said you were busy climbing the tower, right? insignificantly. Sungyoon Han. It will most likely feel powerless and return to Earth btedly. ] The head of the Celestial Church tapped the armrest with his fingers as if excited, and continued talking. [ okay. And after returning btedly, like a dog, he will be subordinate to the original woman. Whoops. Im so looking forward to that time. ] An expression like a child who is excited about receiving a present on his birthday. [Even though hes a mistress who hasnt lived even a hundred years, its probably worth making her a cherished apostle] But that joy was far from childlike innocence. Her intention was to seize Han Seong-yoon, intimidate her, and make her her servant. The head of the Celestial Church smiled in low anticipation and looked down, eyes clouded with desire. [Ah,e to think of it, how did the convocation of challengers from all over the world go? ] I have already prepared a ce for that too. Many strong people from all over the world will gather around David Taylor, the great mage in London. [Then, with this, the preparations for the grand precept are over. ] Thats right. The moment when the head of the Catholic Church raised his hand as if he knew, and issued a congrattory order. [ i get it. If the ce is ready, the original woman will go to make those misceneous things her servants. So dont worry and continue your preparations for the Great Gye. ] Suddenly, her eyes had a red aura of murderous intent. The god of the sky smiles with anticipation as he thinks of conquering the earth. ] *** Although there was a slightmotion, the rtionship with the Celestial Church was quickly resolved. Ha, you dont have to worry as we will take care of the traces of the Celestial Church rted to challenger Han Seong-yoon. It was worth it. After I finished talking with Eric, Kim Ik-chul, the representative of the Seoul Hunter Association, said that. Is it because of the overwhelming difference in ss he showed against Zhang Wei before? There was a slight sense of awe, anxiety, and nervousness in him. It is also at a very deep level. In fact, its close to the level of openly thinking of it as a monster. It wasnt too strange. Divine power is an ability that goes beyondmon sense, unlike the magical power that originally existed. Even if you have mastered that power beyondmon sense to the level of an ancient god, you wont feel like a human being even if you are a tolerable challenger. Well, I dont think I have to refuse to do what I should have done anyway. But now Im used to being treated like this, so I didnt really care. I just feelfortable when someone else does what I have to do. In fact, the processing of the work was concluded very neatly. But is it not so visible in the eyes of others? Seongyun-san. Lee Ha-yeon, who arrivedte at the meeting, asked in a bewildered manner. What the hell is this? She looked at the smashed marble floor, then saw the ce where Zhang Wei had fallen. Could it be that the slight(?) kick in the head at that time was more powerful than I thought? Zhang Wei was still drooling and unable to regain his senses. Turn it off. Zhang Wei only moaned feebly as if he were still alive. However, you could tell just by looking at its appearance that it was not in very good condition. And Lee Ha-yeon, who saw that, said with a pale expression as if she was anxious. You didnt mean to kill people in a ce like this? No way. I just fainted lightly. maybe. Maybe At least he wouldnt be dead. If youre unlucky, you could have permanent brain dysfunction. Still, wouldnt it be a neat price to pay for the worlds strongest? At least the fact that he didnt cut his lifeline was enough. And when he said that fact briefly, Lee Ha-yeon nodded as if he understood to some extent and smiled bitterly. But Anyway, with this, the case of the Celestial Church is settled. . The Cheonshinkyo will not be able to use Seongyoons name as they please. It should be, but I cant say its over. However, I had no choice but to shake my head and deny Lee Ha-yeons words. Perhaps the Celestial Church will do annoying things to the end. It was worth it. The situation would probably be much moreplicated than this if we were to say that he had risen to the position of a formal deity, as the head of the Catholic Church thought. At the very least, if I dont fix the situation, it will most likely be the worst. So, I felt the need to address this situation myself before the situation on Earth went to the worst. And the Celestial Church itself is kind of like a trap in the first ce. Even more than anything, I couldnt back down at the point where I read the intention of the Protestant Church. If the head of the Celestial Church really did what I thought, it would be a kind of lure. It must also be intended to bring me back to this earth and subdue me. Despite noticing that fact, he had no intention of backing down. However, perhaps because it had nothing to do with the godhead, Lee Ha-yeon tilted her head as if she was confused and expressed her doubts. What the hell is that? But I had no intention of exining everything to her here. I dont think I can exin it here yet. There are too many eyes in this ce to bring up the story of the godhead. Ah thats right too. I understood. And Lee Ha-yeon nodded, as if she had noticed it roughly. Then lets continue the conversation outside No. It would be better to see it with your own two eyes. ? Its a guess, but if I go my way, it looks like something big will happen soon. But even so, there was no need to exin right away. Lets go to London for now. After all, it wont be long before she can understand this. Maybe we can finish everything there. Thats very certain. *** An old abandoned building in London. Due to thete hours, challengers from all over the world were convened in a ce where not even a little light prated. In fact, there were few people who did not attend even after being invited to this ce, despite the fact that it will not be officially recorded. With this, is it possible to see the face of the handsome head of the Celestial Church now? It was worth it. This was an unofficial meeting to warn the head of the Tenshinkyo religion. Thats also true, because vicious irvoyants from all over the world set up and provoked them. In fact, it is safe to say that this seat, led by David Taylor, was to give a warning to the Catholic Church leaders to stop the missionary activities that did not harm them. Even if its not the case, I want to throw it all down soon because of that rotten bastard. Xiaoling Chen. A woman who is considered the best among challengers from China. A woman with nervous eyes, sitting on one of the discarded furniture in the abandoned building, said so. And, as if using her words as a starting point, the challengers located here and there moved their lips. maybe. An apostle of the Celestial Church. It must have been because he said that the head of the Celestial Church wasing. David Taylor nodded as soon as Katherine Be said that, stroking her red hair. Actually, the head of the Celestial Church ising to this ce to preach a mission that has never been done. So you dont have to think that you wonte. And the challengers who listened silentlyined one by one. Rotten! Because of those bastards, the guys in my guild transferred to the Celestial Church! Do you know how big the damage to the guild is? Thats it, wouldnt it be the same either way? Those bastards of the Chonshinkyo believe in Han Seong-yoon and do all sorts of bullshit. no. In the first ce, theres no way that Han Seong-yoon was a real heavenly believer. Its just that those crazy bastards are ying tricks with Han Seong-yoon, who doesnt even exist. Soon, the challengers gnashed their teeth and let their dissatisfaction flow likeva. jerk jerk. No, no. Thats not a lie. Suddenly, a man with a gloomy face appeared from somewhere in the dark of the abandoned building. Anyway, Han Seong-yoons challenger will join the Tenshinkyo soon Akiyoshi Yuuta, who is called the official Tenshinkyo priest, appeared and said that. Challenger Han Seong-yoon is definitely our servant who will belong to the Celestial Church But at the same time his words continued, Chen Xiaoling smirked in anger. Dont be mean. Even if Han Seong-yoon has no idea, will he be dyed by pseudos like you? The worms And it was Catherine Bet no different. What do you say you know about Sungyoon? If there were people like you, I wouldnt have even made a sound. As Katherine Be said that with an angry look in her eyes, the others added one word at a time. Are you boasting that you only have a few ranker level challengers? hot! The border will be able to do it even if it is not Han Sung -yoon! Does your brain function have some kind of disorder? If thats the case, I might split the head and fix it. and. That is foolish. The moment when Yuuta Akiyoshi tore the corner of his mouth as if he wasughing at him. but thats fine. Just like that, the light of the sky shimmered behind him, and the space there widened. It would be nice to see it with your own eyes. What kind of power does the god of heaven, the founder of the Tenshinkyo religion, have? And in line with that, a beauty with sky-blue hair appeared from behind Yuuta Akiyoshi. The appearance of sparkling eyes as if all the starlight in the night sky waspressed. Even that was not enough, each challenger vomited in astonishment at the divinity flowing from her. But What is this [ Nasty. ] That was only for a moment. The god of the sky feels ufortable with the things standing there. Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapanies of the heavenly world? Kuk-! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Cheer up! What is this! In an instant, the overwhelming power crushed the space and the challengers were mmed to the floor. [Is it only this much? ] As soon as he saw that figure, the god of the sky, the head of the Celestial Church, gave a fishy smile. [Be foolish. ] Deed deed deed deed-! Soon, the force that presses the space bes stronger and no one can make a sound. [Yes, at least this looks good. ] Only then did the god of the sky begin to speak as if he liked it. [Those who have rejected the grace of the original woman, you should know that you are blessed. ] She continued as if she were a shepherd leading thembs. [ You couldnt even obey the great grace, but the original girl broke it herself. ] And. [You wont be so dissatisfied. Even if you dont understand it yet, when the timees, you will understand the naturalw. Your submission will be rewarded one day. ] Soon, the god of the sky stretched out both arms as if giving a great speech and continued speaking. [The original woman will be the one and only immortal ruler of this earth. And to be an ancient deity and to rewardmbs like you ] Suddenly, I heard a voice mixed with fishyughter from nowhere. [Ancient deity? ] And. [Something like you? ] Soon, the moment the god of the sky raised his pupils up following the origin of the voice. [ uh? ] Her pupils vibrated violently, like an earthquake. [What is this ] He must be [God ancient deity? ] It was because the space in the ceiling had been torn open and someone was looking down at her through the gap. [Come to think of it] And the man who was seated on the other side smiled and said. [Youve done a lot of fun things on Earth so far. ] Its nothing else I look down at the god in the sky as if the god of transcendence and the god of death are not the same. Heavenly God.] It was Han Seong-yoon. Chapter 326 326. Gap (2) Celestials. The concept of divinity < Heaven > A name that can be obtained with divinity and a kind of qualification to be the owner of all heavens. Among many concepts, the value of the sky is probably not small. It is the will to stand above whoever it is, and the concept of divinity is abstract, but it will draw a grand sky. At least it was clear that it was a high-level divinity. [Youve done a lot of fun things on Earth so far. ] But [Youre confident enough to take care of yourself after making such a mess, right? celestials. ] That is the level of a formal godhead or a higher godhead. It does not work in the realm of the ancient godhead, which is like a corner of the universe beyond it. After all, the divinity that a heavenly god would have is in fact nothing to an ancient deity. If you havent truly conceptualized and reached immortality, all of that is mere catch. [What is this] And as if the heavenly god knew that, as soon as he saw me, he broke into a cold sweat. [A high ancient deity? ] Still, I think Ive noticed that Im an ancient god ] Unfortunately. [who the hell is the deceased! ] The Celestials had no idea who I was except that I was an ancient deity. I only vaguely sensed the stage of conceptualization achieved by bing an ancient deity. And I looked at her as if I was dumbfounded. [ really dont you know who I am? Even though I was so obsessed with it that it was annoying. ] [ I dont know what that is what it is. If the small girlmitted disrespect, I will apologize to the deceased. ] [ Seongyun Han. ] And. [You dont know this, do you? ] The moment I gave her a hint by directly mentioning my own name. [ yes? ] In an instant, the angels face turned pale, and words wishing for denial flowed out as if it were not. [Ha, Han Seong-yoon. Were you interested in the indigenous gods of this Earth? In that case, the girl will let go of her hand. ] The heavenly god said that with a face that looked like he was about to cry. Feelings close to despair were overflowing in her eyes, which seemed to have taken out the starlight from the night sky before she knew it. Despite the fact that I had no choice but to notice, I gave the answer directly with a smile on the face of repeated denials. [Its not that I really dont know, but maybe Im pretending not to know. ] [ . ] [ Who do you think is the Godhead of the Earth youve found so far? ] [It cant be. ] Even [Thats me. ] That too, very definitely. *** [ . ] In the blink of an eye, the angels eyes shook violently, and small negative words leaked from her lips. [Lie.] As if he would not admit it even though he knew the truth, the angel pressed his lips together and said. [I cant do that! ] It deserved it. [You must have already analyzed enough with the traces of Han Seong-yoons divine realm left on Earth! ] [What. ] [How could a deity that was only at the level of a formal deity reach the level of an ancient deity! ] [ Were you able to find out even that with my sacred realm left on Earth? ] I dont know what to do, but the heavenly god guessed the state I had achieved from the traces of the divine realm. It means that I read my level with the divine realm that was set up to prevent the invasion of the godhead right before the battle with the god of battle. It was possible. But even so, I didnt feel the need to talk anymore. [Somehow, I just became an ancient deity quickly. ] I just replied as if dismissing the angels words like that. [And even if Im not Han Seong-yoon like you said, wouldnt it be different? ] And. [Killing you is the same anyway. ] Soon, the moment I finished talking like that while looking at the heavenly god. [Thats like that] At that, the angel looked at him with his eyes wide open, as if he was terrified, and smiled servilely. [ Ah, I have no intention of giving up my life in a ce like this yet. ] [ . ] [ I will definitely apologize for the small girls disrespectter along with a reward worthy of it-. ] [ No need. ] But I frowned at him as if I didnt want to waste any more time. [Enough. ] And. Divine < Words > are used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed when you use the words that interfere with thews of the world. Just this ce Death in . The moment when the divine < Eonryung > was dyed by the divine < Death > and tried to finish the activation. [ yes!! ] to me! Right before that, the heavenly god made a noise like that and quickly kicked the floor and went out of the abandoned building. Even that, at a speed that could easily surpass subsonic speeds. Still, at least it was thanks to the experience umted as a godhead? She fled as if her life was at stake without even a simplepetition to gauge each others skills and without looking back. [ her. ] And when I saw that, Iughed. [ thats interesting. ] I never thought that I would run away without looking back so suddenly. Theres no point in running away anyway. Even after overpowering famous challengers from all over the world, they just ran away. As if getting out of this position is several times more important than the challengers. In fact, as if to prove it, the person presumed to be the angelic apostle remained. Did the Heavenly God run away? Perhaps as a challenger, his words were thoroughly interpreted as the power of the tower. But I wasnt really interested in anything like that. He would be like that too What the hell is this It should be easy to defeat the Angels Apostle anyway. Aww-! Ouch! As soon as he stretched out his fist with a little strength, the Celestial Apostle copsed with a shriek. And then, as soon as his body fell lightly, a crowd of people rose up around him. Before anyone knew it, the challengers who had been detained by the heavenly gods were released. However, not all challengers were released from the suppressed state. I wonder if there are people who havepletely lost their minds. Those who had been exposed to the power of the heavenly gods and had umted great psychological damage had no sign ofing to consciousness. Of course, they will have to regain consciousness after some time, but there are very few people who can stand up right now. Shall we say that because of that, only strong people who can maintain their spirit even after being exposed to the divine power of the heavenly god remained? There were only a few challengers who stood up from their seats, and most of them consisted of people who had seen their faces at least once. And Sung-yoon? Are you Seongyun Seo? Catherine Bet could be seen as one such case. Suddenly, she stood up from her seat and asked the question with a twinkle in her eyes. Its as if youve met a rtionship in an unexpected ce. And at her words, I nodded in the affirmative. [ youre right. ] Only then did Katherine Bet continue talking as if she was surprised. Why did Seong-yoon suddenly appear here without saying a word Ah. And in the process, Katherine Be narrowed her eyes as if she had noticed something right away. The reason Sungyoon appeared is because of the Celestial Church. Katherine Bet, who noticed the situation in an instant, said that, and David Taylor stood up and responded. That wouldnt be obvious. Misceneous things impersonating Han Seong-yoon and using them are scattered. It deserves a sudden return to Earth. And David Taylor said with a ferocious sh in his eyes stained with anger. No matter what, since Apostle Han Seong-yoon came, the members of the Celestial Church are virtually exterminated. It was worth it. I never thought I would intimidate challengers from all over the world, no matter how unlikely. Even David Taylor, who had been trying to reduce friction with the Celestials as much as possible, had been detained by the Celestials. The Celestial Church must be prepared to ept this mistake as it is. He spoke as if he would use this incident as an opportunity to exorcise the tumor called the Celestial Church. Its nice to talk to each other because they seem to know each other. Is there anything I need to do before that? However, his anger was soon cut short by the voice of a female challenger. He was one of the strongest who did not lose his mind even though he was suppressed by the divine power of the heavenly god. The female challenger with nervous eyes stood up from her seat and spoke as if introducing herself while sitting on a piece of furniture in an abandoned building. Chen Xiaoling. Its a challenger from China. Han Seong-yoon Its fun to see the person who once made the world go wild but you know the current situation is urgent, right? She wiped the blood from her mouth and continued as if she was worried. I know roughly how amazing you are, but isnt the head of the Celestial Church running away with this? Chen Shaoling pointed with her chin to the ce where the Celestial Spirit had fled and frowned. Isnt it better for you to track down the Celestials yourself than to have a pleasant conversation with each other? There was a point. In fact, if the heavenly god runs away like this, it will give room for things to go badly. Of course, when I found out that I was an ancient deity, I didnt think the angels would do anything. Even so, the possibility itself cannot be denied. [ well. ] But I didnt pay much attention to Chen Xiaolings words either. [You dont have to worry about that part. ] He would too ] what the hell are you talking about? [ Simple. ] Because I still know where the Heavenly God is. [I can now sense where the Celestial God is without missing it. ] Its not like the effect of the skill. It was only because she faced the divine power of the heavenly god directly that her awareness of divinity increased. About where her divinity travels from and where it is perceived. As a matter of fact, he was confident that he would not miss her presence unless the angel passed to another world. So what does it matter where the heavenly god goes? Even if you go to any ce on Earth, if you know only the coordinates of the location, it will be possible to reach there by tearing through space as much as you like. However, what Chen Xiaoling said was not entirely wrong. [Still, I guess its time to roughly wrap things up. ] There is no need to give space to the heavenly gods by taking more time than this. [Then I guess I have to move now. ] So [The vortex that folds] Now is the time to cut off all bad ties with the heavenly gods. *** The sky god breathes heavily with extreme anxiety. [Why, at best, such a monster in a small dimension] But even so, she couldnt be relieved. [Isnt it a story that even he didnt tell us that there is an ancient deity on Earth ] It deserved it. [How could the original woman have to go through such humiliation! ] Isnt the one aiming for the heavenly god one of the ancient deities called a corner of this universe? At least she was aware of what an ancient deity was. And the fact that it was a monster that could not be matched even if it was a higher level deity. So, the heavenly god started preparing to run away right away. [ but still. Even if its an ancient deity, its not like theres no way at all. ] Soon after, the angel was ready to leap into space with a voice full of anxiety. [To that person If you ask him, you will be able to point out the failure of this work and ask him to protect the original woman] It was then. [So it probably isnt over yet! ] The sound came from behind where there was nothing at all. [ okay? ] Then the heavenly god turned his head while creaking like an unoiled mechanism ] [ Ah? ] [ That makes me curious. ] Before she knew it, behind her was Han Seong-yoon with an infinitely clear smile. [Can I hear that too? ] Even [Because thats how I think Ill understand] And that, too, in a state that evoked hostile eyes very clearly. The god of transcendence and death looks at the divinity of the god of the sky. [Why do you have the divine power of the god of despair, fall, and madness?] Chapter 327 327. Gap (3) God of despair, fall and madness. One of the ancient deities and the first candidate chosen by the tower. And the divine power of the most heterogeneous godhead I know was felt in the heart of the heavenly god. Also very intense. Actually, this is why tracking was easy. Thats why he hadnt missed her since the first time he saw the heavenly god. Because he had divine power derived from the god of despair, fall, and madness. From the very beginning, as soon as I first saw it, I guessed that it might have something to do with that ancient deity [You. ] Seeing the heavenly god muttering, I was convinced. [Are you an apostle of an ancient deity? ] The heavenly god in front of me is serving the god of despair, fall, and madness. [Otherwise, the divinity is inexplicable. ] Then, the heavenly god trembled in disbelief with his eyes wide open. [Uh uh uh] [? ] [ How! How the hell did how did you find out it was here! How did you even see that and the hidden divinity! ] [What.] The appearance of a heavenly god as if he had been caught in a perfect crime that no one could figure out. But to be honest, the angels reaction itself was absurd. That would be the case [Hiding the divinity? ] I never thought that the heavenly god hid his divinity. [ that is? ] The insight gained by reaching the level of an ancient deity is not something that can be surpassed by a mere higher deity. Even if the Celestial God tried to hide the power he received from the god of despair, fall, and madness, it wouldnt be very meaningful. It actually was. [ everything was just a joke in front of the ancient deity. ] And only then did the angel, realizing that fact, gritted his teeth and smiled twistedly. [ but if youve recognized that Im his apostle, then you know what it means to touch me. ] Before she knew it, her eyes showed low pride. [ You are an ancient deity, dont you know? ] [ . ] [ The one the girl serves transcends the providence and soon can even rule the tower. And the girl is favored by such a person. ] [ Bullshit? ] The angel said that without hesitation, but her words were far from reality. even to a small extent. The god of despair, fall, and madness certainly had exceptional power among the ancient gods. But even so, he didnt juste from the tower. So it was clear that what she said was bullshit. That ancient deity can rule the tower? And no matter how many times I thought about it, the conclusion was not so different. No way. The god of despair, fall, and madness had no power to crush the tower. no. To be honest, there would be no need topare the Tower of Trials. After all, that ancient deity wouldnt be able to show an overwhelming gap to those like the Dark God or the Dragon God. At least thats what I think. [Even if its a god of light or a god of darkness, its the same. It does not reach him who will be the Absolute of the universe. ] So, there was not even a hint of shaking in any sound. [Isnt that enough bullshit? ] After hearing all of her words, I said with a simple smile. [I think Ive heard enough of the nonsense] Now Ive confirmed that the Celestial God doesnt have valuable news. Then there was nothing more to be gained by talking to her. So now its time to do what needs to be done. [If youre just talking nonsense like that, I dont need to talk anymore. ] And. [What divinities do you have? ] The moment his eyes shed with anticipation at the thought of acquiring the divinities of the heavenly gods through necromancy. [ quit. Are you sure you want to make that choice? ] The Celestial God moaned in great terror, then smiled strangely. [If thats the case, this side will only take the loss. ] Before she knew it, she continued with her palms together as if in prayer. [Apostle of God. It is a person who is favored by the gods and can descend the spirit of a god into his body. Thats what being an apostle is like. ] Only then did I realize what she was trying to do. [And if the apostles status dwells in a high-ranking deity, it is only natural that the total amount of power that the deity can give increases. ] Apostle of God. And that the messenger of God can descend the power of the godhead into his body. In addition, the total amount of power that the godhead will descend upon the apostle increases as the apostles rank increases. [I cant believe it] Thats what it means. [You are the Most High. ] Its nothing else ] It means that the ancient deity who has reached the highest level will directly < descend > in this ce. [Because this is the power of the highest ancient deity in this universe. ] And that guess then became a thing of reality. This is Keying. In an instant, a ck hole appeared as if the sky had been pierced, and a ck line was drawn there. As if drawing a small solid line on a canvas In the blink of an eye, the ck line descended from the sky and reached the heavenly god. The appearance of a celestial god connected by ck lines descending from the sky like a marite dangling a string. With that, the ck line disappeared as if it had done its job. The god of despair, fall, and madness consumes divine power and causality to cast < Advent >. Casting < Advent > on the divine apostle God of the Sky, the consciousness of the ancient deity dwells. Ancient The godhead can use up to 40% of the bodys total power. The next moment. The god of despair, fall, and madness looks at Han Seong-yoon. [Ah] As it was, the space around it was contaminated ck like ink, and a cracked and worn voice was heard. [Its been a while] Just by spitting out that sound, the space is distorted and the whole ce is tainted by that filthy divinity. [Stupid and unfortunate. You are just a bowl. Tower I received the power of a widow from my best friend You bug. ] A divinity that contaminates everything just by being there. And I already knew what it was. Thats because Ive endured that monster once. Even from very close. [ Now is the time to present your potential to me. ] God of despair, fall and madness. rot. The worst monster ever seen has appeared on Earth. *** Originally, the Advent of the Apostles was not very threatening. Even if I descend to an apostle, the total amount of power that can be used is fixed. It was worth it. Even if it is a deity that has achieved a high level of divinity, even if it descends to an apostle, the limit is set. Thew of causality subordinated to the tower can also impose restrictions on a godhead In fact, the biggest reason was that the vessel called the apostle, who was only a mortal, could not contain the great sea of the godhead. The power of a godhead isnt something that can be contained to an apostle. Originally. Should we say that it is like not being able to contain all the spring water in ake in a small bucket? Even if you put water from theke into a small bucket, the capacity was fixed. Therefore, the Advent of the Apostles was more of a means of showing off when exerting influence against mortals. However, if the vessel called the apostle had reached the level of godhood, the story would have been different. Exactly [ . ] Like that one. [ thats interesting. ] A state in which the ck divinity, shaped like noise, covered the body of the heavenly god. The heavenly god in front of me is not the stupid high-ranking deity I saw just now. Its just a monster that brought nearly half of its bodys power to < Descend > by the god of despair, fall, and madness. And as I tried to control my embarrassment as much as possible, I heard a voice as the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hummed. DWhat is this again Even Damcheonwu, who had been quiet until now, couldnt contain his astonishment. DIs it possible to bring out divinity to that extent simply by the advent of the apostles? It was as if he was asking how such power could be exerted by the advent of the Apostles. DWhat a monster. and. [Ha ha ha youre not like you] The monster in front of you continued to speak slowly, as if it hadpletely assimted into the angels shell. [There is neither the power of the tower nor the protection of the ancient deities to protect you here ] [ . ] [ You know what that means, right? ] [ I know. ] But instead of matching the provocation, I immediately activated my skills. The skill Battle eleration is activated. The skill Focus on Battle is activated. The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated The skill Amplification of Thought is activated. [As in the past, this time again, youre doing something that hasnt been done, right? ] And. Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +300. Special buff < Guardian > is activated. Under the premise of fighting in the Earth dimension, the consumption value of holy power is reduced by 15% It will decrease. [Then, we need to take this opportunity to make sure that they dont do anything stupid. ] The moment when Shinhwa < The Reversal Hero > was activated after a long time. [ Cheeky!! ] As it was, the god of despair, fall, and madness with his eyes wide open zed his wrath. Kugu Pce!! In the blink of an eye, a ck and muddy divinity erupts, crushing the space and sending a tsunami into the sea. As if a disaster urred only when the god of despair, fall, and madness revealed his emotions, the entire environment changed moment by moment. Even if this ce was far from people, it was also a sign that the could be destroyed by the ancient gods. So I squinted my eyes. Even fighting openly is hard on Earth. It was worth it. Because when I was in the tower, I was able to fight without much consideration. However, if a fierce battle was fought between the ancient gods here, the earth could have been destroyed. I cant help it. So even if you have to endure the consumption of power, you have to prepare for the impact of battle. The special power creation of sacred realm is activated. Consumer of challenger Han Seong-yoons divine power and faith creates the divine realm < transcendence >. keying! The divine realm < Transcendence > detects the external divinity and tries to exclude it. In an instant, golden waves spread all over the ce and established the divine realm. In the battle between the gods, rather than gaining an advantage with the realm, the way to reduce the impact on the earth by excluding the divinity itself. Only then was I able to put my mind at ease. To what extent are you ready to fight now? Of course, the god of despair, fall, and madness could break the sacred realm but maybe they wouldnt even think about that. After all, if I expand the divine realm, Im the one who consumes my power. There would be no need to suffer losses by touching the sacred realm. And as if he knew that for sure, the god of despair, fall, and madness quickly activated his divine power. Divine < Despair > is activated, and anything that touches the Divine loses its power. [A bug-like creature] The ck tentacles that bloomed with divinity on her back were about to shoot out with murderous intent. [Dont take it as your divinity for daring to be arrogant on the topic of bugs!! ] Still, I didnt feel disappointed. [If so. ] It deserved it. Just because < Advent > was performed through an apostle, who is a divine person, does not mean that the limitations of Advent itself disappear. As indicated in the system message, what he can probably use is only half of his bodys abilities. Then, there is no need to be afraid. Divinity < Death > is used. The death of everything eroded by Divinity < Death > can be controlled. Divinity < Evil Eating > is used The power to devour is imbued ] Divine < eleration > is gone And following the power skill, numerous skills ovep. Not even that. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, the myth < Enemy of Everything >, and the exclusive spell < Despise the Powerful > are activated, and the power is inted endlessly. And the ce where that power will be concentrated has been decided. Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing the divinity < transcendence > is created. The moment when the starlight of the divinity itself is ovepped with numerous types of power, and the light vibrates greatly. [ What the hell is that? ] It was only then that the god of despair, fall, and madness reaped the smile that had fallen on his face. [ this? ] As soon as I saw her reaction, I smiled and continued talking. [Its the bug-like madness youve been talking about so far. ] [What ] [You said you would take my divinity in exchange for the sin of being arrogant, right? ] [ . ] and. [Then try that. ] next moment. [Only if you can do that. ] As it is, I added thest divine power and emitted the divine starlight. Divine < Word of Word > is used. You can consume divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a lot of divine power is consumed when you use the Spirit of Word that interferes with thews of the world. Die. After that, the divine starlight exploded like a riotous light and swallowed everything. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Thats very certain. Chapter 328 328. Gap (4) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the blink of an eye, the divine starlight swallowed everything. Could it be because of the divinity < transcendence > as the center of all kinds of divine powers and skills? Suddenly, the divine starlight filled the firmament, then swelled up as if to crush the world and gave off its power. Kwakjijijijijijijik!! At this point, it wouldnt be strange to destroy the world itself. But it doesnt work that way. The divine realm < Transcendence > coordinated the influence of the divine starlight so that it did not leak outside as much as possible, and the power was concentrated into one point. Exactly The god of despair, fall, and madness is greatly surprised by the divine starlight. [What the hell! ] to the god of despair, fall and madness. The moment when the divine powers obtained by facing numerous divine powers were concentrated into one power and released. As it was, the god of despair, fall, and madness quickly ejected ck tentacles from his body, which crackled as if it were covered in noise. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Divinity < Despair > is activated, and the attack that touches the divinity loses its power. And as soon as the ck tentacles touched the starlight of the divinity, it seemed to push the light away. ck tentacles split into dozens and hundreds pushing the holy light as if pushing a dull stone. Only then did the god of despair, fall, and madness wring his lips wide as if he was sure of victory. [ Hahaha. Yes, this is the power I have. Despair. The power to sever everything] Before she knew it, her voice was as calm as before. [A bug like you cant keep up with this power? ] But. [ uh? ] It was only for a moment. Chijik! The divine starlight finally won the victory after a brief sh and fierce battle. In an instant, the ejected ck tentacles are burned, and the starlight made of divinity advances again. As if the ck tentacles imbued with the divinity < Despair > really meant nothing. Only then did she open her one eye that was not covered by the noise, in amazement. [What is this] It was justified. [Why does the power of a bug like you ovee the divinity < Despair >? ] Divinity < Despair > is indeed the same power as the divine enemy. no. There would be no point in talking about it by limiting it to the category of divinity. The divine < Despair > possessed by the ancient godhead in front of him must have the ability to cut off all power. But isnt it the same here? Divine < Despair > has been activated and is eating away the divine < Despair >. Wajijik-. Currently, the Divine Starlight is infused with various Divine Powers. And among them, the divinity that devours the divinity itself < Evil Eater > was also dwelling. Its not a decoration to get the divine < Evil Eating >. And the divinity < Evil Eating > was literally like the natural enemy of the divinity that devours the divine power. Thats probably why the evil god, who was a high-ranking deity, used it as a special move. Even if the divine < Despair > is the ability to cut off everything, it would be nothing more than a divine power. Even Shinhwa < Enemy of Everything > is activated. If so, it was possible to overwhelmingly consume the divine < Despair > with the divine < Despair >. like right now [Dare] The god of despair, fall, and madness continued with a slow but furious voice. [Are the bugs, who were mortal at best, acting erratically? ] And. [Then lets break down that disgusting arrogance] Next moment. Due to Divinity < Crash >, a 10-minute cooldown is temporarily created for the power skill Star Light (S+). As her divinity < Crash > was activated, her power to handle the divine starlight was limited. However, the divine starlight that has already been activated does not disappear. The Holy Light skill itself was not sealed, it simply created a cooldown on the skill. However, it seemed that the opponent had already achieved their goal with this. Thats also the case Divinity < Insanity > is activated, and everything thates into contact with the divinity is corrupted and eroded. After all, the god of despair, fall, and madness prevented the attack from being offset. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In an instant, the ck tentacles connected to the body of the Celestial Divided countless times and increased. And in the process, the ck tentacles mixed with the divine < Despair > and the divine < Insanity > squeezed even the light of the holy light and poured it down on me. Even that is unavoidable. [Ill put an end to the bugs madness with this] But. [Whos going to end it? ] Still, I didnt blink once. [I have no intention of ending it yet. ] Thats also the case Divinity < Remorse > is used. Can interfere with the past concept of time. However, if the interference is not rted to the user of Divinity < Remorse >, activation of Divinity is canceled. . Because the countless attacks in front of me couldnt reach me anyway. *** Keying. little noise. A feeling as if the hands of a clock were forcibly stopped from turning. Hearing that small sound that suddenly resonated quietly, I twisted the corners of my mouth into a smile. [ Could this also be used like this. ] Divine < Remorse > is the ability to interfere with past concepts. Even if it couldnt be operated specially like the god of remorse, it was enough to simply adjust the flow of time. Thats very certain. Therefore, it was decided what would happen if I used the divine authority starting from where I was with the divine < repentance >. Its nothing else DTime has stopped. Time slows down and eventually stops. DIsnt the levelpletely different from what you saw in the demon realm then? Listening to Dam Tianyus muttering voice, I expressed satisfaction in my heart. As he said, the time stop using divine < repentance > was strengthened using the transcendence myth < spiritual tuning >. Thats why even time stop was eptable to the ancient godhead. Only then did I clear my mind a little and objectively continued my thoughts about the value of the sacred < Remorse >. Actually, its like the time in that particr ce stops when you get to where I am. The principle of stopping time achieved with the divine < Remorse > is not that difficult. It means that I can do this much by adjusting the time flow. It feels like continuously subtracting numbers one by one until the flow of the concept of time converges to zero. And where that adjustment of the concept of time is dealt with at the deepest level is where I stand. So, even if it was an attack from an ancient deity, it would eventuallye to aplete stop once it reached this point. Its definitely a great power. So no attack could ever get where I was. Because the flow of the concept of time slows down every time I get closer to where I am standing. And the flow of time that slows down like that stops at a certain point. Perhaps, if we rewind the flow of time in this state, it would be possible to turn back time itself. but this is still the limit. But it couldnt be. Even if you rewind time, there is a limit. Perhaps, at most, turning back the time around 1 minute, focusing on where I am, is the limit. Not even that. And this is just stopping time against an ancient deity. In fact, isnt it best to stop time for divine < remorse > against an ancient deity? Therefore, it is difficult to deeply interfere with the past concept of the divine < repentance >. It wasnt enough, and the consumption of divine power wasnt that small, so stopping time wasnt that efficient. However, is it absurd that time can be stopped against an ancient deity in the first ce? [Can you handle the concept of time? ] The god of despair, fall, and madness let out an angry roar as time stood still, looking at the hardened ck tentacles. [How can someone as insignificant as you have such precious power! ] She said that as if she couldnt ept the situation. [Are you going to admit it? A mongrel who handles power without qualifications over and over again do you think I can understand! ] Perhaps its shocking that time was stopped with divine < Remorse > [I think youre misunderstanding something. ] I didnt think of being considerate of her like that. [I also have no intention of being recognized by a guy like you who is just looking for an opening. ] It deserved it. Didnt the god of despair, fall, and madness in front of me envy my power from beginning to end anyway? It was different from the gods of darkness or demons, dragons, and gods of light. Unlike the monsters who were born as ancient deities from the beginning, that onecked the status of an ancient deity. Even if he was an ancient deity who had achieved a high level, he did not feel any particr respect for this ugly monster. [I dont know if its a real bastard like a god of darkness or a demon. ] And. [And more than anything] The moment I spoke to the god of despair, fall, and madness with a grin. [ unlike me, didnt you just get to that point by receiving power from the tower without any cost? ] Just as it was, the face of the heavenly god was distorted like a demon, and a roar that had never been heard before erupted. [Neooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! ] Coo Goo-! Despite the cry containing only emotions, the space is distorted and shaken everywhere. If it had not been for the divine realm < Transcendence >, the emotion itself would have turned into a kind of disaster and affected the earth. But I didnt intend to listen to it to the end. The power skill, Undying me of Mortality is activated.] The fact that you have to make a resolution anyway wont change. [Shall wee to a conclusion now? ] In the blink of an eye, ck mes sh and burn like a beast. [ Lets see if this can be prevented. ] The moment when ck mes poured down in a straight line and burned all the ck tentacles. Kkwajijijijijijijijik!! The divine starlight used the ck me as a propent and wiped everything out again. [ !! ] That too, in a very definite form unlike before. *** Chee Hee Hee Hee-. The power skill Ashen Blood is activated. Regenerative power increases ording to the amount of holy power consumed. Body regenerative power increases by 400% and immunity to all non-regenerative abilities Immediately after being stimted by and sweeping the whole area. Before I knew it, the divine realm < transcendence > was broken. Perhaps the divine realm copsed as a result of the rampant impact of the starlight at its maximum output. In fact, it was possible to fly about one lightly, so honestly, it could be said that this was cheap. Still, even if the sacred realm is broken, its okay, but this is a bit harsh. Suddenly, I felt my whole body creaking like a wooden nk, and smiled bitterly. Is it still like this even after bing an ancient deity and conceptualizing it? It was worth it. I thought that if it was an ancient deity, that body would be a spiritual body, so it might not be so seriously injured. But it wasnt. I still couldnt avoid the influence of the blows with the power of the divine < Death > or the divine < Evil Eating >. Its not perfect immortality at all And I calmed my eyes as I looked at the body that had been restored to its original state before I knew it. How far do you have to grow to achieve perfect immortality? I couldnt tailor it perfectly. Isnt an ancient deity also without ws Even an ancient deity that existed from the beginning, like the god of darkness, couldnt really be immortal. If certain conditions are met, the ancient deity will be able to face extinction, and if that is not enough, it will take quite a while to revive itself. It was not yet consideredpletely immortal. So, in this fierce battle against the god of despair, fall, and madness, I clearly realized the gap with the ancient gods. Still, the level difference isnt that extreme. The power previously used by the god of despair, fall, and madness is 40% of the bodys power. It must have been possible for him to disy his skills to this extent because he chose the god of the sky as a divine apostle and wrote < Advent >. However, the difference was not that great. Even if that monster can demonstrate 100% of its power, it doesnt mean it cant survive. It can also be seen that the divine < remorse >s time stop was activated with one proper move. Since both of them reached the same level of ancient godhood, the divine power was not suppressed due to the difference in rank. It was even possible for this side to catch up with the power that it had by using all avable means. Well, I wont be able to win against the main body of the ancient deity, but Im sure this will be enough. gap. I realized the difference between the upper deity and the ancient deity. No higher deity can block my path anymore, and the ancient deity is not so far away. Now it feels like the proper reference point has been set right. Perhaps, assuming that the timees to climb the towers second half of the 30th floor, wouldnt it be possible to equalize with ancient deities like the God of Darkness? I look forward to it. When I think of the time when that happened, a smile naturally bloomed on my lips. The growth rate itself was unparalleled. Perhaps, after clearing the trials on the 26th floor, there was a possibility that he would be strong enough to propose a deal to the tower as if it were his best bet. Even if it is not like the strongest of the ancient deities, if the minimum transaction with the tower bes possible, a new horizon will truly open. At that time I can change the future on the 27th floor. And that was when I was continuing my thoughts. [Ha ha ha ha] Suddenly, I looked down at the voice I heard from below, and there was a familiar face. [Youre lucky Youre a bug] The god of despair, fall, and madness covered in the skin of a celestial god was there. She coughed up blood stained ck and let out a disparateugh. To the point where I felt a sense of distance from the image I was very angry with before. [But this is not the end] And before long, I could see why she was reacting this way. [I will appear until I take what is given to you] In fact, the god of despair, fall, and madness is promisedter. [There are still many cards left to use] . [Tower or Earth. over and over again. I will not give up until you take what has been given to you.] Either way. But it didnt matter much. If you get rid of it every time youe anyway, its over. He would too And if hees, thats a good thing. Because I have enough to gain from the battle caused by the hostility with the ancient deities. To be honest, I also needed a lunchbox to refresh my mouth. Doesnt this mean, in effect, that the opportunity to acquire divinity through necromancy is given for free? [Lunchbox? What is that ] So see youter. I had no intention of exining the meaning of these words, so I said goodbye right away. Quadd-. [knock!] He took out the Blood Demon Sword and dealt the final blow to her heart. Then, in the blink of an eye, a mark like ck mist flowed out and was then absorbed by me. As before, as soon as the spirit was absorbed, a system message emerged, announcing the possibility of growth. Absorbed the spirit of the sky god Ciello@$#& But Huh? It was heterogeneous. What is this again? The system message that suddenly popped up in front of my eyes was a bit different from anything Id seen before. The final condition is satisfied. The effect of < Divine Rise > inherent in the Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > evolves into the final ability. The effect of < Divinity Rise > inherent in the Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is [Transcendence]. It changes to reach And. I cant believe this The meaning of the system message shown by Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > was as follows. What is this? Its not enough to be an ancient deity now Contender Han Seong-yoon won 1% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against the divine apostle. It could definitely surpass that. So The possibility of being reborn as the only transcendental being in the universe. You mean I can even surpass the realm of an ancient deity? That was Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >s final ability. Chapter 329 329. Gap (5) Jijik-. Breaking news continues non-stop on the hotel television. [Chunshinkyo, a religious group that has so far imed a close rtionship with challenger Han Sungyoon, has denied the rtionship, saying that challenger Han Seongyoon is unfounded. ] A decision has been made to arrest Yuta Akiyoshi, the representative apostle of the Protestant Church.] [Some people are outraged by these Tenshinkyos, but the whereabouts of the Tenshinists have be unclear, and Yuuta Akiyoshi said, There was a monster living on Earth that could not be touched. They are refusing to cooperate with the investigation by repeating the words .] It s nothing else Controversy arises because Zhang Wei and Eric caused an armed sh at the Seoul Hunter Association] [In fact, there are spectionsing and going that this may have dismantled the Celestial Church itself] Celestial Church. Religious groups that had been working on renovations had been sorted out to some extent. There are still members of the Catholic Church as side branches, but even that will soon copse due to the disappearance of the head of the Catholic Church. A pseudo-religion without a godhead would have no real power, so its nothing to see. Isnt it even the celestial church that has been corrupting various guilds as well as the Hunter Association? Presumably, the circumstances are caught and preparations are underway to expel them from society. So I wasnt too worried. Just [next breaking news. A series of reports of sightings follow in Brighton, a resort town on the coast of the English Channel. The Clock Tower Guild and the British Hunter Association are nning tounch an investigation on the story that an unknown golden light shed over the strait at dawn.] Its awkward to investigate that. The problem was that the traces of the battle with the ancient god who used the descent of the apostle on the heavenly god leaked out. Well, since the aftermath was erased as much as possible with the divine realm < Transcendence >, it would be impossible to collect traces of it from the outside No matter how small the noise, the story about me will be known all over the world, and nothing good will happen. thats not what i want If you create a pseudo-religion needlessly, it will be difficult to gather faith on Earth. It was worth it. Didnt he find out that he could acquire the divine < Earth > with one of the information obtained from Earth while killing the god of battle? The divine < Earth > can be obtained only when a certain number of people worship me, the transcendent god. However, in the process, there was nothing good if negative emotions gathered in me due to the urrence of pseudo-religions such as Transcendentalism. If you do, you wont be able to get the divine < Earth >. Even if thats not the case, theres even a Transcendental Bridge, so theres no need to increase noise. And at that, I sighed and smiled bitterly. Somehow, the post-processing seems to be more troublesome than the Celestial Church itself But that was only for a moment. Well, I wonder if Ha-yeon will take care of this somehow. Originally, being a human doesnt care much if its not what you have to do? I was relieved to think that this would be the end if I asked Lee Ha-yeon anyway. I didnt even think of handing over the work to Lee Ha-yeon. Its also because of Lee Ha-yeons fault for being in this hotel in the first ce. Seongyoon-san doesnt have to be here. You can stay here until I say its okay. Currently, after the battle in London, I came over to Korea by space transfer. In any case, since I was entangled in the work of the Celestial Church, I tried to do some post-processing myself. I was going to deal directly with people like Catherine Bet, David Taylor, and Chen Shaoling. In fact, the appearance of the Celestial Church itself was also because of my existence. However, there was no need to do post-processing of the challengers gathered from all over the world. Lee Ha-yeon, who came in the blink of an eye, quickly and urately handled the situation and achieved harmony among the challengers. I never thought Id take care of that while killing the angels. And I was able to feel enough satisfaction with it. Its nice to have someone whos definitely capable by my side. It was because of her excellent situation management skills that she had this time to rest. It wasnt even just a break, it was a break right after dealing with the Ancient Goddess Advent. Thats why there was a need to find out what was gained by subjugating the god of despair, fall, and madness wearing the shell of a heavenly god. Even if it wasnt so, I had something to do, so its a good thing. Exactly [Transcendence] rises with the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, and concept divinity increases slightly. Like this one. *** I narrowed my eyes while looking at the system message that still remained in the corner of my field of vision. Growth of concept divinity. Immediately after the [Transcendence] gained from the < Divinity Ascension > effect of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > increased by 1%. Continuing as it was, the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > grew the concept divinity under the pretext that [Transcendence] had risen. Originally, I thought it was ambiguous what the growth of the concept divinity meant but I can understand it by concentrating my consciousness on the divinity while sitting on a bed in a hotel room. Is it just that the real concept-type divinities have be stronger? concept divinity. Divinity < death > divinity < immortality > divinity < word of speech > divinity < remorse > etc Each of the divinities of the concept series that represented a certain deity became stronger by deepening their color. Perhaps the concept-type divinities have expanded their basic scope of application as well as their output, albeit slightly. Even if we add the transcendent myth < Spirit Tuning > to this level, wouldnt it show a devastating synergy? What the hell does this mean? So I couldnt understand it any more. What will happen if I increase [Transcendence] to 100% with the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >? Why does the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > strengthen concept-type divinities? Before the final ability was unlocked, the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > was just a divinity and its quality greatly increased. So, step by step, build up all ranks. Isnt it the original function of Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > to finally go to the level of divinity beyond that? But this is different. It feels like the purpose is to grow the concept divinity itself rather than the status of divinity. As before, the level of divinity and the level of soul are raised very slightly. And in the process, I didnt feel anything overwhelming that could surpass the ancient deity. Even if you simply raise the level of divinity or spirit level like this, you wont be able to defeat the primordial monster like the god of darkness. At best, it was self-evident that he would reach the level of a god of despair, fall, and madness. Transcendence In what way would he grow up to transcend even the ancient godhead? Im not sure of anything yet but I did know one thing though. This could be the reason why the ancient deities and the tower are obsessed with me. This is a road no one has walked. And it will be a path no one can walk in the first ce. So, didnt the tower n to select me and destroy the deities? Could it be that the divinity < death > can even kill the divinity, the concept of the ancient deity? no. It wont be. Eliminating the concept of an ancient deity means eliminating thews inscribed in the universe, and that means removing the mountain to remove the stone from it. Such a simple unpaired means was less feasible. Erasing abstract concepts that dont even exist in the first ce from the universe is self-evident. Then what is the answer? . In an instant, various guesses ran through my head. I dont know. But none of them had an answer. There is still only 1% of [Transcendence] obtained through the Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >, so there is no basis for judgment. At most, I dont know anything except that concept-type divinities get stronger. But there was nothing to worry about. But at least its not the wrong way. The path selected by Shinhwa < The Possibility of Transcendence > must be the correct answer to transcend the true ancient deity. I can only guess in advance how it will be done. And even if it was der, it didnt matter too much. So, I quickly shook my head. Ill figure out what it is with time anyway. As always, time will tell the truth. Even if its the truth you dont want to know. So Use themand of Ciello, the god of the sky, to permanently increase your stats. Muscle strength increased by 67. Agility increased by 46. Stamina increased by 44. Magic power increased by 31. Durability increased by 21. Isnt it time to achieve growth now? As soon as he consumed the spirits of the angels and developed his abilities, he felt a sense of tion. However, the level was not as high as expected. Previously, the increase, which was still easily above three digits, has been downgraded to double digits. Seeing that, I narrowed my eyes and clicked my tongue. The rising trend itself is ambiguous Higher Divinity. Even that, the ancient deity did not achieve high growth for a deity obtained by killing the deity who used the Advent of the Apostle. Of course, now that all stats have reached four digits, even +1 growth is desperate Even so, it cant be denied that the growth rate is lowpared to the ancient gods < Advent >. At the very least, I have to have the specs to sh with an ancient deity in a high ce with physical abilities. There was still a long way to go. Could it be because of the abilities gained by consuming the spirits of the heavenly gods? Now I could naturally realize that I could destroy a with just my physical ability. It must be because it is the point where even a single ability increase of +1 has a big effect. However, even so, the feeling of thirst did not resolve as if it was clogged up somewhere. I dont feel like Imcking with just this. At least among the challengers, there will be no one who canpare in physical ability. However, it is not at a level that can be used in a sh between ancient deities. Even if you draw a battle n with divinity as the main axis, physical ability is also a part of the hand that can be used. Thats why its a great choice to develop abilities rted to physical abilities. Even if Ive achieved conceptualization, it doesnt mean that physical abilities are meaningless. After returning to the Tower of Trials, I will steadily raise my stats. That way, as much as possible, this side will have more strengths. But I have captured the divinity in the spirit of the sky god Cielo. The authority Divine Power is activated by satisfying the conditions. The divinity extraction seeded. Timing to focus on. Absorbed the spirit of Ciello, the god of the sky, and satisfied the special conditions. You can learn one of the spirits of the spirit of Ciello, the god of the sky. Currently acquired potential Divinity is < Sky > < Luck > < Cloud >. Thetent divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an optionter. Fun. Now is the time to savor the divinity. Chapter 330 330. Battlefield of the Gods (1) You have absorbed the spirit of Ciello, the sky god, and have satisfied the special conditions. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Sky >, < Luck >, and < Cloud >. As always, until now I frowned when the reward to be obtained after the fierce battle with the Celestials appeared in front of me. What is this again? It was worth it. Divine < Sky > Divine < Luck > Divine < Cloud >. The options divided into three divinities were virtually no different. Although the divinity < Sky > is a conceptual divinity, Ive never seen it in action, and it probably wont be very useful either. I dont know what kind of hand the divine < Sky > will y, but it wont be very good. The divinity representing the concept of godhead was certainly higher in rank than the auxiliary divinities. But isnt that just a story of a case? Even if it is a conceptual divinity that represents a certain divinity, it cannot be judged that it is 100% more valuable than an auxiliary divinity. So I also filtered out some of the Concept Divinities. It was even more so when I thought of the desperation, fall, and the fact that the god of madness did not use the divinity < Sky > while using Advent of the Apostle. If that wasnt enough, there could have been restrictions attached to the divine < Sky >. Maybe there was a condition that could exert great power in the sky, and even if it wasnt, it was meaningless seeing that it wasnt used much in battle. So now, the only option left is Divine < Luck > or Divine < Cloud > . Im assuming its Divine < Luck >, but what kind of ability is Divine < Cloud >? What the heck can I do with the divinity < Cloud >? The Divine < Sky > and the Divine < Cloud > have no choice but to be excluded from the options. Nothing too certain, but at least it didnt seem like there would be much of an advantage. Depending on the interpretation, the level of divinitys ability can be very different but the divinity < cloud > that the heavenly god has is not that great. At least, the one with an intuitive form was the divinity < Luck >, but it was obvious that this was actually an ability to be disyed in a local aspect. That doesnt mean the divinity < luck > isnt good either. He would be like that too If the divinity < Luck > was an overwhelming rise in luck, it wouldnt have turned out like this in the first ce. If the divinity < Luck > had been able to work to the level of overturning the situation, the Celestial God would not have been defeated. In the end, it means that the options for acquiring divinity are not good one way or another. However, there was no way to change the choice itself. So theres no point in worrying about it any more This is the best. So, it was decided which option to choose. Selectionplete. Divinity < Luck > is reced with potential. It was right to choose a divinity that could function as a Joker at least to some extent. So, like the divine < lucky >, even if it works in a local aspect, I took the option to help in case of emergency. Of course, this could also be a useless divinity, but For some reason, I thought that choosing the divinity < Luck > would be the correct answer. Still, the divinity < Luck > might help in unexpected situations. It was worth it. The power that interferes with luck that Ive seen while climbing the tower has exceeded my expectations every time. Wasnt it even the luck-interfering authority Heros Protection (C+) that assisted the Skill Synthesis, the unique authority that created the current main skills? No matter what happens, if youre lucky, theres nothing wrong with it. Even if it is not the same as the authority Blessing of the Hero (C+), if it can produce a simr effect, it can be seen as a great benefit in itself. Because there will be many sections where luck will work anyway. And The Divinity < Luck > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used. The Divine < Luck > adds luck to some situations and tunes them in a beneficial direction. Luck-rted abilities are greatly improved. Huh? It was then. Boss skill Heros protection is strongly activated. Luck temporarily and violently increases. Skill Hope propagation is activated] Hope for you by skill Hope propagation This spreads rapidly The skill Faith Spread is active By the skill Faith Spread, faith in you spreads rapidly] Sight in the blink of an eye System messages filled in and various abilities were activated. What Its not even that. The Blessing of the Warrior, a powerful ability that had not been activated except for the time of skill synthesis, was also used. And even that was not enough, some of the skills that I forgot to activate after learning the skills also showed their strength. Could it be that it suddenly became like this because of the divine < luck >? I couldnt understand. Where on earth is there room for luck? The divine Luck was not activated by me, but activated by itself. However, nowhere was there anything that satisfied the activation conditions for the divinity < luck >. I just acquired the divine < luck > and guessed how to use it. So, a thought passed through my mind. Could this be triggered by someone else and not by me? It would be understandable if someone other than me satisfied the conditions for the divine Luck to activate. In that case, the divine < luck > can be used even if you are quietly in your ce. But that doesnt mean there arent things I dont understand. Exactly Then, who the hell activated the Divine Luck? The question is, who met the conditions for the activation of the divine < lucky >? I had to figure that out for sure. Only then will you know where and how the divine < luck > works. However, the time to continue thinking like that did notst long. Its nothing else ? Before I knew it, a system message rted to the achievement came to my mind and informed me of the reason for activating the divine Luck. Aplished the achievement Worship of many powerful people The skill Conversion of Faith (S-) is created. What is it. and in a direction I could never have imagined. *** same time. Inside the Heeuijang, where entry and exit is strictly controlled. There, contestants from all over the world sat in their seats and watched the news from the televisions hanging on the walls. [In the course of investigation by Yuta Akiyoshi, the main representative of the Tenshinkyo, it was revealed that Challenger Sungyoon Han prevented the terrorist act of the head of the Tenshinkyo in London. ] announced that it would make an appropriate case through the Hunter Association.] [Meanwhile, the world is paying attention to the whereabouts of challenger Han Seong-yoon, who is actually called the highest climber.] And Chen Xiaoling, who was watching it quietly, was dumbfounded. said like Wow, no matter where I look, theres nothing but Han Seong-yoons story. However, unlike envy or jealousy, her face showed a tired expression. Well, he has such monstrous powers that he deserves to be mentioned as much. It was worth it. Because Chen Shaoling saw Han Seongyoon breaking through space and appearing. And in the process, Chen Shaoling was able to measure, albeit shallowly, the fragments of Han Sungyoons power. Even if it is not divine power, Han Seong-yoons power cannot be ssified as a mere mortal. Thats right Han Seong-yoon. Its actually the first time Ive seen it, but I wondered if there was the strongest person on Earth No, but wasnt he originally a prosecutor? What the hell are you tearing through space? In an instant, amotion erupted inside the conference hall. All of the current challengers here have faced Heaven in person in London. Arent they even regarded as high-ranking challengers in various parts of the world? Therefore, they had no choice but to guess the size of Han Seong-yoons power to some extent, and they had no choice but to share their opinions about it. Bang-tang-. quietly. But that was only for a moment. We didnte here to talk about this. David Taylor uttered a sharp voice and turned his gaze to the seat of honor in the conference room. Isnt it because of your suggestion that we gathered here? Its nothing else Challenger Lee Ha-yeon. All eyes are on Lee Ha-yeon, who is sitting there. Even if she is not suitable for battle, she is also one of the high-ranking challengers. Thats why eyes of interest poured into her from everywhere, and only then Lee Ha-yeon nodded in agreement. youre right. And David Taylor narrowed his eyes and continued. They didnt say this right after the incident was settled. With a simple procedure, he said, I will give you the strength to fight against the head of the Celestial Church. It was. So now lets get down to the point about it. Everyone here is here because of it. If so. Only then did Lee Ha-yeon smile and say. The way to gain the strength to fight against the head of the Celestial Church is simpler than you think. At most, all you have faith in Seong-yoon. Faith? yes. And one of the male challengers in the conference room said with a twisted smile. What A contemptuous expression, as if talking nonsense. Did you gather us with the intention of creating another Heavenly Church? He red at Lee Ha-yeon as if he was dumbfounded and continued talking. Otherwise, why would you say that But. Who exactly are you supposed to have faith in? Nevertheless, David Taylor asked the question as if nothing was wrong. The male challenger looked at David Taylor with his eyes wide open. Like why are you seriously responding to such bullshit? David Taylor. Are you sure you believe that crazy thing right now? its faith It cant be that kind of power It can be. yes? I told you that faith can really be a strength. But David Taylor was unmoved. Perhaps the power you gain will be different depending on who you worship. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with confidence. The reason Han Seong-yoon defeated the challenger from the other world that appeared in London in the first ce was because he was an apostle of God. It was worth it. Because Han Seong-yoon had previously revealed himself to David Taylor as an apostle of God. And David Taylor still believed that fact without denying it. And above all, now I know something about God. Not even that. As I climbed the tower, I learned, albeit shallowly, that godhood exists. So far, as a result of David Taylor climbing the tower, he even read the traces of godhood. If you worship Han Seong-yoon, who has the power of a god, you might get real power. And Definitely Come to think of it, there are often stories about the gods in the tower Now that I think about it, I think Ive seen priests using the power of the gods in the tower, too? Shortly after, voices filled with anticipation resonated throughout the conference hall. The man who uttered doubts, saying, Does it make sense to be strong with faith as it is? If he insisted on further suspicion, it would only be to let him know that the knowledge he knew was insignificant. Not even that. Im wondering if you can really gain strength by worshiping Seongyun-ssi. Before I knew it, Lee Ha-yeon looked around the conference hall and spread her palms wide, giving off a golden light. Paaa-! This is the ability you can gain by worshiping Seongyun. Its nothing else The authority divine power (E+) is activated. The divine power given to her by Han Seong-yoon before was disyed. Really? her. Neither skill nor magic power. I never thought there would be such a thing! Isnt that simr to the strange aura you felt from the head of the Celestial Church? The moment when words recognizing her divinity were exchanged among the challengers who saw her divine power. Theres just not much you have to do. As it was, Lee Ha-yeon smiled and continued. Because believing in Seong-yoon is enough to get this. and. how is it? next moment. I think you can get quite attractive powers with a little faith. Eyes filled with greed or envy for Lee Ha-yeons divinity flowed throughout the conference hall. That too at a very intense level. Its nothing else Isnt this worthy of some worship? It was the moment when the center of Transcendentalism was established on Earth. *** Achievement Unintentional Growth of Religion has been achieved. All stats increase by 10. Achievement Start of Evangelism has been achieved] All stats increase by 10. Aplished the achievement Holy Religion All stats increased by 10 Hung-. The system messages shed before my eyes, and my smartphone trembled at the same time. [A total of 4 messages have arrived.] Right after that, I checked the messenger app on my smartphone. [Lee Ha-yeon: Seong-yoon, can you meet me for a moment?] [Lee Ha-yeon: Ive been preparing things to help Seong-yoon in my own way.] [ Lee Ha-yeon: I think Seong-yoon would probably like it enough. . I dont know why, but I felt like I knew where this luck that wasnt good luck started. Chapter 331 331. Battlefield of the Gods (2) Sometimes there are moments like that. [Lee Ha-yeon: Seong-yoon, can you meet me for a moment?] [Lee Ha-yeon: Ive been preparing things to help Seong-yoon in my own way.] [ Lee Ha-yeon: I think Seong-yoon would probably like it enough. . Should I call it a kind of intuition? There was a moment when I felt cold sweat flowing without knowing why and I sensed that the situation had flowed unintentionally. And the senses that have been trained while climbing the tower and crossing the crossroads of life and death are now no longer just feelings, but closer to predictions. Thats why I kept my mouth shut while watching the message that popped up on my smartphone. What He must be [Lee Ha-yeon: Thanks to the divine power I receivedst time, I think I know what Seong-yoon needs.] The message that popped up on the screen of my smartphone was unexpected. However, as soon as I saw Lee Ha-yeons message on the messenger app, I was able to intuitively notice. The fact that the divinity < Lucky > was activated by satisfying the conditions was probably rted to her actions. Divine power And I smiled at him as if I was dumbfounded. Come to think of it, I did put it down. I will think of it now. All first-ss followers who serve the god of transcendence are bestowed with the divine power (F+). At that time, the only F+ level of divine power was given to me just to give it a bit of strength. It turns out that I gave Lee Ha-yeon the power of divine power. Even if you look closely, those who gave divine power were not limited to her. Perhaps the lowest level of divine power was given to those who greatly worshiped me, including Catherine Bet. In fact, since he had distributed enough divine power to be invisible anyway, he was actually half-forgotten about it, let alone cared about it. I never thought it would turn out like this However, contrary to what I thought, many things have changed. Before she knew it, Lee Ha-yeon knew that she had to gather faith based on the power of divine power, and it was not enough, and now she has achieved a religious revival to the extent of achieving achievements. The appearance of religion where faith gathers without obstruction as if it were a matter of a thousand miles. And only then did I suddenly realize the source of the religion called Transcendentalism, which I saw in David Taylor. This is how Transcendentalism was born It was justified. In fact, the divine power I gave from America at that time acted as snowballing and even formed the Transcendence Bridge. At this point, it is tantamount to being directly involved in the origins of the establishment of the religion. And thats why I couldnt help but notice that now I cant dismiss the snowball of Transcendence as nonexistent. What if Wasnt the Transcendental Church recognized in the Towers achievement system? In short, it meant that Transcendentalism had already reached the level of being recognized as a religion. Even if he avoided the situation like this, it would be meaningless. Because at some point in the near future, the Transcendental Church will resonate with Earth in some way. So now I had no choice. In the end, I have no choice but to see it for myself. And [The folding vortex] The moment I quickly deployed the ck magic spell to Lee Ha-yeons ce. As soon as I crossed the space, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut at the sight that unfolded. Sung-yoon, are you here? He must be like that too I was going to visit him myself if he hadnte, but Its because Lee Ha-yeon, standing in a dark ce, said that with a smile. Still, its fortunate that we were able to show results rtively quickly. A ce where only a handful of light came in, as if it were underground. I have prepared a lot in my own way so that I can be of help to Seong-yoon. Lee Ha-yeon, who was standing there, continued to speak with a cold re in her eyes. This is the result. and. What is this again Then I had to look at the people on the other side, bowing their heads, in amazement. God Even if you roughly estimate it, hundreds of people were expressing awe while looking at me. Only then did I open my mouth, which had been closed tightly, and let out a sigh mixed with words. is that a lie? Now it seems that I have be the head of a pseudo-religion. *** A space that looks like a small rxation facility with bright lights. so what happened to this? Upon entering, I sat down on the sofa and narrowed my eyes as I looked at Lee Ha-yeon, who was sitting across from me. Its as if you have to listen to everything to clear your intuition. And Lee Ha-yeon said with a bitter smile. hmm. Could it be that you didnt like the present I prepared for you? If you see that and like it, that must be the problem. Ah, I think I know what it is. Only then did Lee Ha-yeon nod as if she had noticed. I think I misunderstood that it was a pseudo-religion, but dont get me wrong. misunderstood? In fact, at this point, theres no need to call it a misunderstanding, and it must be a fake that you cant even remove or beat. I was puzzled why she said such a thing, so I looked at her and Lee Ha-yeon continued talking. Actually, I found out some facts about the things I learned while climbing the tower and Seongyoon-ssis power. What is that Seong-yoons strengthes from faith, right? And unexpectedly, I shut my mouth at Lee Ha-yeons words. I never thought Id be able to figure out where the power of the godhead was based so clearly But it wasnt that strange if I had to look at it. In the first ce, you can encounter many stories rted to the gods while climbing the tower, and in the giant treebyrinth, you had to openly fight the battle between the gods. So, I was able to guess her information acquisition process to some extent. There is one thing I learned when you gave me divine power before. Not even that. Like the apostles I saw at the tower, Seongyun-ssi can bestow the power chosen by the godhead. Thats So Seong-yoon probably has the same power as the gods in the tower. Before she knew it, Lee Ha-yeon read right away that I was close to a god. Thats why I gathered them because I thought they would need faith like the deities in the tower. She sat down on the sofa opposite and continued talking while eating refreshments on the table. And in fact, they dont purely worship Seongyun. Then They all need divine power, so thats all they do. Perhaps most of the people who joined the Transcendental Church wanted Seong-yoons divine power. Is that so Only then did I stop giving her suspicious nces. Come to think of it, in the emotions of those who were polite like a pseudo-religion, unlike their attitude, I didnt feel that much worship. In fact, the concentration of faith umted in the body was not that strong. Perhaps it would not have been strange if the reason why he became a member of the Transcendental Church was focused on gaining divine power rather than pure worship. In fact, if that were the case, it wouldnt even be considered a pseudo-religion. Then I understand. Wasnt it something you nned to gain worship on Earth anyway? Thats why I immediately epted her words without any refutation. And The special divine authority Designate Follower is activated. You can designate a follower and harvest faith from them. Currently, the number of followers worshiping the god of transcendence and death is [2169683]. Currently, the number of followers that can be designated as followers of the god of transcendence and death is [28712]. Immediately after activating the special divine authority Designate Followers and selecting followers. The power, Divine Power (F+) is bestowed on all first-ss followers who serve the god of transcendence and death. As it is, it gave power to a few people who met the qualifications to obtain divine power. Of course, its at most a rats tail of holy power but maybe its possible to inte the holy power with this. And I immediately looked at Lee Ha-yeon and stopped talking again. I gave divine power to those who were qualified to receive new powers. Anyway, if a religion like Transcendentalism appeared on Earth, it would be an opportunity to use it properly. Perhaps it will be easier for Ha-yeon to focus on missionary work as she wants. Thats why he said as if he would entrust her with Transcendentalism, and openly allowed her to engage in missionary work. Well, I dont have to pay much attention to Transcendence anyway, so it shouldnt matter. Is that why? Really? Lee Ha-yeon smiled brightly and was very happy as if she had been recognized. Whoa And sheughed out loud like that, then said as if she was satisfied. With this, I can help Seong-yoon in a different way than Catherine Bet. . I will continue to nurture the sess of Transcendence so that I can be of sufficient help to Mr. Seong-yoon in the future! Yeah But it didnt really matter. Its Lee Ha-yeon, not me, who actually manages the Transcendence Church. And since I was the only one who would eat all of the rewards from that management, there was nothing stopping her from saying that she would be of any help. But Still, something is unpleasant. If theres one thing that bothers me, should it be her words and actions? Come to think of it, I saw the Celestial Church before and called it heresy. There were a few corners that I didnt know why. Couldnt it be that they really worship Transcendentalism? He said things he didnt know what to say, such as calling the Celestial Church a heresy and being helpful in a different way than Catherine Bet this time. But that was only for a moment. No way. In fact, wasnt Lee Ha-yeon originally a person withmon sense before the tower appeared? However, I would not really worship something like Transcendentalism. I dont know what Katherine Be is, but I think shes ready to help She wouldnt do something like a cult like this. So you wont have anything to worry about. Yes, there really wont be anything more to worry about. maybe. *** Time passed quickly and it was time to go back. Time is over. Return to the Tower of Trials. In the blink of an eye, a system message appeared before my eyes and the space changed. Im back. The appearance of the stone chamber that was so far from seeing that it was unmatched by the silence. Only then did I know that I hade to the ce on Earth that I had longed to return to. The time on Earth, where he had plenty of time left before he knew it, hade to an end, and he returned to the tower. For now, lets check the things we got from Earth again. And then I immediately checked the skills I got as an achievement reward on Earth. Skill C Conversion of Faith (S-) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C It is possible to temporarily use faith by changing it into a desired type of ability. Detailed effect C Support the desired type of ability with faith. By doing so, it is possible to temporarily strengthen it. Among the achievement rewards obtained this time on Earth, one of the only skill-type rewards caught my eye. This is I had to open my eyes wide after reading all of the skill Conversion of Faith (S-) in a short time. Is that the first time you have a means to use your faith differently? It was worth it. Although it was also noticeable that it was a skill-type reward that I hadnt gotten in a long time . I think I can use this as it is. It seems that faith can be changed into divine power or magical power or physical ability Then it was possible to directly utilize faith in battle. It could even be used as a hidden move. So, to some extent, I was satisfied. Then, it seems that the confirmation is over with this This is because the number of cards that can be used in battles between gods has increased. At least it could be said with certainty that faith had be a resource for another battle. Even that, depending on the situation, can greatly contribute to winning or losing. ats. So Im entering the 26th floor of the Tower of Trials. Is it time to climb the tower? Now, as always, you will have to climb the tower. Chapter 332 332. Battlefield of the Gods (3) The moment you enter the ordeal is the same as always. Entering the 26th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Hard The subject of the ordeal is The Battlefield of the Gods. I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result at the end of his ordeal. System messages appear before your eyes . It rises and a new space is revealed. I dont know where, but there were vegetation all over the ce. But even so, it didnt feel particrly natural. Should I say its like looking at a yground filled with artificial grass? All the environments here seemed to have been artificially created through someones hands, not created naturally. Thats very certain. What Its not even that. What is this again? As if nothing had been seen so far, there was something more foreign in the sky. . Sky. There was something like a ck orb in the endlessly bright sky. Even in a dirty and heterogeneous form, like a mixture of the divine powers of various deities. Its roughly simr to the source of the godhead I saw on the 18th floor And I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the ck sphere for a while. Its heterogeneous. It was worth it. The ck sphere, presumed to have been mixed with the holy power of the gods, was not like the egg of a god. Even if faith were concentrated in that ce, a divinity could not be born there. If I had to question it, it would just be the umtion of the divine power of the gods in one ce. In fact, it meant that it wasnt even the source of a godhead, so I couldnt figure out why there was such a thing there. I dont know anything at all. But there was no time to question it. Starting the 26th floor ordeal. Remaining time C 1 year Order breakthrough condition C conquering at least 4 of [Battlegrounds of the Gods] within the remaining time Order failure condition C challengers death or remaining time End Trial Breakthrough Reward C Brilliant Divine Essence (SSS+) Trial Failure Penalty-Death A new system message appeared in front of me before I knew it, announcing the start of the ordeal. DThe battlefield of the gods It was then. DOnly on the 26th floor, something like the battlefield of the godses out as an ordeal? Suddenly, the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hummed and Damcheonwus voice was heard. DAt this point, I cant even set a mere challenger as the criterion for trials. Then, as if slightly surprised, I touched the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and spoke. Do you really know about this ce? It was worth it. In fact, this is a type of ordeal that I have never seen before while climbing the tower. So, some basic understanding of the situation would be necessary but if it could be known through the Ego Sword Damcheonwu, there was no choice but to benefit greatly. -okay. battlefield of the gods. I know about this ce. Did you notice that thought? -So maybe I can tell you about this ce. Before he knew it, Damcheonwu continued to say that he would tell us about the ce called the Battlefield of the Gods. -And more than anything, its a ce that has a lot to do with you, so I had to exin it once anyway. But when I heard his words, I couldnt help but frown. Anyway, at most its a ce where the gods fight, so what the hell does that have to do with it? It was because I couldnt figure out why the battlefield of the gods was rted to me. -The spection that it was a ce where the gods fought was certainly correct but that was only for a moment. -Apart from that, its origins must be close to you. and. C No wonder. next moment. DOriginally, this ce was one of the test sites that the Tower made to mold an ancient deity. At that, I had to be stunned with the feeling that my heart stopped. *** In the blink of an eye, I tightly gripped the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword with my mouth hardened. The Battlefield of the Gods is one of the testing grounds where ancient deities were to be molded? There was a shock as if his heart stopped, but it was only for a moment. -Thats right. As soon as Dam Chun-wus words continued, even the shock had no choice but to escape. -The Battlefield of the Gods is an artificially created battlefield where the Tower invites numerous gods. . -There is only one reason why so many deities have gathered here. ancient deity. Using the fact that it could be a bait, the tower called the gods here. What is that I couldnt understand. Whats the connection between being an ancient deity and the gods fighting each other? It is not logical to say that the tower created this battlefield of the gods. But that wasnt enough, and now the tower hosted a war between the gods using the ancient deity as bait? I dont know why, but I dont know if that makes sense. After all, just because gods fight with each other doesnt mean they can achieve the level of ancient gods. I dont think a godhead originally grows like that, right? The path that God ascends to the realm beyond is not aplished through ughter. Originally, a god is aw that bes stronger after endless training based on faith and the divinity of concepts. There is no way to be strong through a mere war between gods. Unless youre an irregr like me who climbed the Tower of Trials and gained necromancy and the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >, that would be the case. I dont think I can understand anything other than that, even if its the tower that created the battlefield of the gods. So I couldnt understand Dam Chun-wus words. -I guess so. And he didnt deny it either. -God builds up a long period of training based on the concept of divinity and faith. It is undeniable that this is the growth direction of the Godhead. If so C But the tower broke that fixed idea. ? -And you must have seen the result of breaking that stereotype? At that moment, I immediately raised my head to look at the sky and opened my eyes wide. No way The ck sphere. There was a correct answer in the essence of concentrated power with the divine power of numerous gods mixed together. Only then did I smile and figure out why it was like that. You mean thats an essence that can be an ancient deity? And Damcheonwu, as if recognizing it well, spoke while trembling with the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. -Thats the correct answer. Dam Chun-wu continued as if the exnation had finally reached some level of exnation of the background. -The battlefield of the gods exists only for the sake of the concentrated essence of that divinity in the first ce. -Every time the deities here die, their divinity umtes in the ck sphere and eventually turns into a heavenly treasure. In a word, it means that its like the ability I have. At this point, it is easy to understand. In fact, the mechanism of the Battlefield of the Gods would be simr to my Necromancy ability. Isnt it a form of umting the sacred power of numerous divinities in one ce only for one victor at the end? Its like necromancy in that it takes someone elses power. Even though it was unknown why the tower created a board like the battlefield of the gods, it could not be dismissed as meaningless. If one person takes on the power of many gods, theres definitely a possibility of bing an ancient deity. However, that would not be the way to be a general ancient deity. Thats also true, because Battlefield of the Gods is not a way to raise the level of divinity without ws like the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >. It only seeks to rise to a higher level by concentrating and cramming the divine power of many divine powers into one ce. So I couldnt dismiss the end result as good. If I tried to raise the level of divinity in that way, the probability of failure would be higher. In fact, isnt it a gamble where the probability of failure is higher than the probability of sess? no. Even if heid the foundation for bing an ancient deity through the battlefield of the gods, it could not be a proper ancient deity. Perhaps the ego is not whole because of the many divinities mixed together. I cant call something like that an ancient deity. But even so, there was nothing more to say. No matter what, the fact that we have to conquer the battlefield of the gods It wont change the fact that we have to conquer the battlefield of the gods anyway. For now, its better to do what needs to be done. so. Its the battlefield of the gods Now there was nothing to waste time on. Still, it would be nice to have a higher level of deity. I smiled expectantly at him and soon walked away. That way, we cany the foundation to go beyond the realm of ancient deity. Im guessing At least with the Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >, Ill be able to umte about 10% of [Transcendence]. It seemed likely that he would grow a lot here. *** Battlefield of the Gods. It was known as a treasure trove attractive to many deities. As a ce of opportunity for the deities who had been weeded out because the development of divinity had stopped, they could raise the level of divinity itself under the leadership of the tower. The clumsy God of Wrath sighs at his own situation. However, not all of those seeking the status of an ancient deity came to the battlefield of the gods. [ haaa-. ] Should I say they are vague even if they are slightly divine? Its not like theyre aiming for a level like an ancient deity There are some who have made it their wish to be promoted to a formal deity. And Kelly, who had the name of a clumsy god of wrath, was one of them. [ why is this body doing this here. ] It looks like a human body is attached to the head of a lion. Kelly let out a sigh with a face like a lion, and continued to bleed. And as he continued his steps, he narrowed his eyes as he recalled his situation. The Tower has been said to be an opportunity to be an official deity, but I never thought it would be a ce overflowing with monsters like high-level deities. Kelly is the weakest one here. While most of the gods who came to the Battlefield of the Gods were official gods or high-ranking gods aiming for ancient gods, he was too weak. that too seriously. If I knew it would turn out like this when the damn tower invited me, I should have refused! And Kelly had to feel it with her body. A ce dotted with monsters that can cause disaster and copse space with just one gesture. Here, Kelly had to evacuate to the farthest ce from the Battlefield of the Gods, losing all the apostles he had brought with him. [ Big. ] Kelly barely contained his rage, his face contorted like a thug. [ Still, its still too early to give up. ] But, isnt Kellys own life still attached? Then he thought he could start anew. In fact, thats why they came to the farthest ce from the center of the battlefield of the gods. [ Im sure there are a lot of lesser deities in this outskirts. This body will be stronger by taking them as servants. ] And. [ that. ] Is his luck still continuing to some extent? Not too long after, Kelly found a man. Even though the man wore twin swords at his waist, he felt like a kind of inanimate object without feeling any energy. Prey! And in an instant, Kelly straightened up his distorted face and smiled broadly. I never thought Id meet such a disgraceful mortal in a ce like this! On the battlefield of the gods, those who were not gods were in fact only followers or apostles of others. But in this situation, a person who feels no energy appears? In fact, it is close to the meaning of a mortal who wanders without divinity. Only then did Kelly flick her tongue and let out the eyes of a lion. If I catch and eat that bastard, Ill be able to recover from the wounds I received from the god! Suddenly, his eyes were ck with greed. Youre lucky! Currently, Kelik is seriously injured on the Battlefield of the Gods. Since Kelly inherited the thick blood of beastmen resembling lions, he was able to recover from fatal wounds by consuming life. So he couldnt have any doubts about this situation. In fact, this situation would be like an oasis appearing in front of a traveler walking in the desert. I couldnt even think of the man in front of me as a god because I couldnt even feel his presence like an inanimate object. Just [ Hahaha! After all, this body is not destined to end here! Mortal, I will eat your body well. ] If there is a problem with it, it will be one. A mortal? Its not different-. Hes a funny guy. That the man who walked there was not really a mortal. A man who radiates no energy of any kind, like a pebble on the side of the road. It is I blink my eyes while looking at the gods of transcendence and death . Chapter 333 Episode 333. Battlefield of the Gods (4) Bing an ancient deity, I did not hide my divinity much. I didnt just hide the divinity, I just captured it so it wouldnt leak out. Should I say its only about adjusting the water so that it doesnt overflow from the bowl? Divinity doesnt affect the outside, but I didnt handle it so that I couldnt feel it openly. If he really wanted to hide his divinity or spirituality, he would havepletely hidden his divinity by using the power obtained from the tower. Thats why I never thought this would happen. It was, indeed, asionally. To think that I was really mortal and run at it This is the case when the divinity itself is too great to be recognized. If I had to exin it with a metaphor, wouldnt it be simr to the limitations of human vision? Just as people dont know whats behind them other than the things in front of them unless they turn their heads If the ability to detect the divinity is so poor that you cant even feel the divinity of an ancient deity, you cant see the level of its power unless you openly reveal it. I do not know. you. Exactly Are you sure you have a real Godhead? Like this one. The clumsy god of wrath is terrified and groaning in pain. ] Before I knew it, a half godhead with a lion-like face was sitting on the floor, clutching my left arm. [ Far Pal! arm! The arms of this body flew away!! Aww!! ] Couldnt it be that he didnt endure this level of injury after the surprise attack? The clumsy god of wrath held onto his bloody arm and struggled in pain as if in a panic. And looking at it, I couldnt help but be puzzled at this point. At best, it was hard to understand why she was crying like that with only a broken arm. What It was just like that. I didnt use divine power, I just ripped off my arm. Its tough. Even when I was just a challenger climbing the tower, I was able to regenerate my body like a passive. Wasnt it just a physical blow with no divine authority at all? Even if Shinmyeong had the modifier clumsy attached to it, at least if it was a godhead, it would be able to withstand this much. Its not like he doesnt have thatmon regenerative ability. So, I was shocked to see him acting like that. DIs it normal for a normal creature to not be able to immediately recover from having its arm torn off like that? However, did not it feel that way to Dam Chun-wu, who was benevolent like a blood horse? DTheres no way that guy could grow his arms again and again like a monster like you. Before he knew it, he said that as if he felt sorry for the clumsy god of wrath that had copsed in front of him. DTsk tsk. Even if I had to choose, it would be pity for him to stupidly choose a monster like you No In fact, isnt this something that I, who was taken by surprise, should be pitied for? I couldnt figure out why they felt sorry for the clumsy Wrath God rather than me being attacked. Whats good though? But that was only for a moment. Even if it wasnt so, I thought I would need a guide. That would be the case too This is how I get it. It was because I decided where to use the clumsy god of wrath sitting on the floor before I knew it. Even if it wasnt originally, it was a situation where I had to understand the situation more deeply about the battlefield of the gods. However, when a guide who had umted local experience in the battlefield of the gods suddenly appeared, a smile naturally appeared on his lips. [What is that? ] The moment the clumsy god of rage said that with fearful eyes. Simple. It was only then that I realized how far this clumsy god of wrath could be used. There are some things I need to know about this ce. Even I think you should go with me. And that too, with no ce to throw it away. *** Reciprocity (). Shall we say that it is a beautiful tradition to rely on each other, help each other, and benefit from each other? In a blink of an eye, I was able to have the clumsy Wrath God Kellic as my guide. Yes, this is goodwill that transcends race. And I was able to feel proud of him with a smile on my face. I can get a guide, and I can buy the enemy time to live. Even the clumsy god of wrath will have to be exchanged for a handful of experience points anyway Even if that were the case, the clumsy god of wrath would be happy to have more time to live. DCrazy bastard This time, I heard Dam Chun-wus tired tone DThis is mutual aid? Still, I didnt feel guilty. The fact that he didnt kill me on the spot was also very helpful. It was worth it. Because the clumsy god of wrath was too weak to have something like that. How serious it is can be easilypared without being too difficult to measure. Even if I came to the days when I was just climbing the 15th floor of the tower, I could easily beat Kelly. That was the value that the clumsy god of wrath had, so I chose the path that would benefit me the most. [the battlefield of the gods is divided into a total of 7 zones. ] Before I knew it, the clumsy god of wrath began guiding in a cold sweat. area? [ okay. battlefield of the gods. It is divided into 8 groups ording to level. And this ce is one of the outermost of them. ] Thats right [ And what divides the eight regions is determined by the distance to the ck sphere floating in the sky. ] Then, when you get close to that ce, do other areas appear? [I will. Oh, maybe not. ] ? [Kuhm! Ah, I havent been there yet, so I dont know Im just guessing. ] . In a word, it meant brain-ficial. What kind of guy is this? Is it the limit of a mere half godhead? Despite being invited to the battlefield of the gods, the clumsy God of Wrath did not seem like a god. Should I say that it is like a mortal who only satisfied the minimum conditions to be treated as a god? Except for the fact that there is a true divinity, they are no different from mortals. However, it didnt seem like everything the clumsy god of wrath had said was wrong. Still, its true that roughly eight districts are divided around the ck sphere. That was certain. Thats also because the divinitys detection area was expanded, so the closer it was to the ck sphere, the greater the divinitys waves. Like he said, there must be an area with high-level deities close to the ck sphere. That too on a very high level. Interesting. It seemed that there was someone who had even reached the end of the higher deity. How far can the deities at the end of the battlefield of the gods grow? Although it was not yet certain, there was a need to be aware of it. Im looking forward to it. That way, even after time passes, he will be able to devour those coveted experience points. so. Then, I turned my head to the clumsy god of rage and asked the question again. Is there anything else I need to know? [ In the Battlefield of the Gods, it is said that you need to subdue a certain number of deities each time you want to move on to the next area. ] Jobok? [In a word, it must mean that you have to ept surrender from the deities. If that doesnt work, itll just mean killing the godhead. ] Simple. And I smiled at him, and the clumsy god of wrath spoke quickly. [if you want, I could tell you where the deities reside in this outermost region. ] He probably thought I was going to kill the outermost deities one by one Theres no need for that. Thats not an efficient option. Didnt I say that this ce was the lowest level of the outermost part of the battlefield of the gods? After all, if the people here arent of high level, its not worth hunting them down. Then we can simply sweep it away. [? ] Simple. and. The Authority skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! The battlefield of the gods, made of vegetation, was turned into ashes. *** Chee Hee Hee Hee-. A pile of ashes where only the heat that seemed to burn the skin was left. Looking at it, I smiled. That would also be the case Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a pseudo-god has brought her 0.001% closer to [Transcendence]. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a pseudo-god has brought her 0.001% closer to [Transcendence] Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against a pseudo-deity increased 0.001% to [Transcendence] Nice. This is because [Transcendence] rose by 0.007% with the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > in an instant. Its a pity that this was the only thing that died on the subject of simr deities, but The reward was pretty great for roughly shooting wide-area skills. It seems that the clumsy god of wrath was swept away as well The only w is that the clumsy god of rage that could have been used more died. But well, I dont need a guide on the battlefield of the gods anymore. But even so, isnt it just a half godhead? Looking back on this, it wasnt too bad. In fact, it was more so because there were many rewards obtained. Not even that. Achievement Destruction Expert has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 15 It rises.] . . Achievement Seeker of Starlight has been achieved Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met . Increases the reward level obtained from the achievement The skill Starlight Expansion (A+) is created. . . Achievement Divine Genocide has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] automatically activates when the conditions are satisfied The level of rewards obtained from achievements increases from [ss C] to [ss B]. Special The authority sphemy (B-) is created. Many achievements were achieved in the blink of an eye, and all stats increased and skills and powers were obtained. Did you umte so many achievements with just this? Reading all the system messages that popped up before my eyes, I smiled. And in response, I read the description of the skills and authority that I had just acquired. Only then did I know what I had gotten. Skill C Starlight Expansion (A+) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C Can be greatly increased by expanding all types of starlight. It is strengthened four times. Starlight expansion. Actually, this is more like the secondary technology of the Holy Light. Only the category of starlight can expand its power. However, seeing the word all kinds of starlight, the scope of application seemed quite wide. Perhaps, perhaps, the skill Starlight Expansion could be applied to something like strong energy. Sacrilege Grade: B- Proof of a god-yer who hasmitted countless acts of spheming God himself. Reduces all damage taken from opponents holy power by 10%.] sphemy. This is quite usable too. This side is more like having resistance to divine authority. Its just a constantly activated ability that has the effect of reducing all damage by 10%. I was sure that the fact that the defense against the power of the divine increased itself could not be ignored. Perhaps the power of sphemy will also have a significant impact on future battles with ancient gods or higher gods. Growth is fast. I had to put on a light smile and twinkle anticipation in my eyes. The outermost ce in the Battlefield of the Gods grows so fast And. I wonder what the center furthest from here is like. The moment his eyes lit up at the reward that would soon be beyond the battlefield of the gods. Deed-! The feeble god of fireflies vomits blood and rages in great rage! The clumsy god of mixing gnashing his teeth at the one who shot the starlight, spewing out hatred ! Go! Right then, system messages filled his field of vision, and divine light shimmered everywhere. . Its nothing else. [Lee-! Youre just a little bugger! ] [ What son of a bitch dares to make such a rampage on the battlefield of the gods-!! ] [ You-! Worm with starlight! Ill tear those limbs apart and feed them to the bastards! ] All of a sudden, the deities who built their nests on the outskirts of the battlefield of the gods became enraged and appeared. But I wasnt too upset about it. Anyway, this is the category I imagined. So It doesnt look like it. There was no shaking of emotions. Kii-i-i-i-! The power skill Starlight is activated, and starlight containing the divinity < transcendence > is created. In an instant, the golden starlight is concentrated on the tip of the finger and gradually begins to emit light. Divinity < eleration > is used. All abilities of challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly elerated and be faster. Then, the light emission of the stars elerated even more, and the power swelled in an instant. The starlight that creates a roar as if a supernova explosion is about to happen. But it doesnt end there. The skill Conversion of Faith is strongly activated. The faith of 2198395 people who serve the god of transcendence and death is converted and applied to the ability. In the blink of an eye, the concept of faith is transformed into real power, added to the starlight. The skill Starlight Expansion is strongly activated. All types of starlight are greatly expanded, resulting in a performance improvement of up to 4 times. Even now, even that is not enough, the starlight beads on your fingertips expand and be uncontroble in size. inted without [What!?] Only then did one of the gods startle, but he couldnt back down anymore. Come to think of it, you guys were able to survive in the light of the moment, right? and. Lets see if you guys can survive this. Soon after I said that, the moment I let go of the holy light with a smile. !!! In the blink of an eye, golden starlight radiated and devoured the world. Chapter 334 334. Battlefield of the Gods (5) !!! In an instant, golden starlight expanded and swept the area. A torrent of starlight that spreads widely with various powers and skills. In order to be able to prevent it, he would have to achieve at least the realm of formal godhood. Unfortunately, none of the deities who nested here could do even that. [Wow ah ah ah ahhhhhhhh !! ] After several gods died in the blink of an eye screaming in agony. ordingly, as if in ast-ditch effort, the other deities hurriedly unfolded their divinities. All of a sudden, the gods united like a swarm of ants collided with each others divine powers against the golden starlight without saying a word to each other. Kwakagagagagagagaga-! But It doesnt mean much. There was no meaning in uniting forces with the sole focus on survival. Even if ants do unite, their essence is just an ant. If a human pours hot water into an ant nest just for fun, the ant will die. Crackle! A figure in which only one power overwhelms the divinity of all. Divine lights shatter like impacted ss tes, and numerous divine powers lose their original light. Even if it is a divinity that can deal with concepts, the starlight I possessed has reached, albeit feebly, the realm of an ancient deity. It was just a fight that I couldnt evenpete with from the beginning. And did the foolish people in front of them realize that fact? [What is this!? ] [ Dont be ridiculous! At this level, he must be at least a high-ranking deity! ] [ What! A top 4 deity? How could such a monster be in a ce like this! ] Before I knew it, countless deities howled in astonished voices. [Ah ah ah! You are the great one! Now, have mercy on me!! ] Some even begged for mercy, in a half-muffled voice. I dont even have to beg like that. But there was no shaking. Because I dont have the slightest intention of watching you anyway. and. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy Control >. . You can freely adjust and handle the spiritual attack you possess. You can tune the formless power with the spiritual attack and apply the effect of the spiritual attack to that power. The moment when the power of the Holy Light was inted. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! As it was, the golden starlight spread splendidly, and system messages filled up in front of my eyes. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a pseudo-deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.001%. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a pseudo-deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.001% By winning against the opponent, 0.001% of [Transcendence] is Its nothing else I absorbed the spirit of Modram, the god of obscure iron walls.] The spirit of the clumsy god of speed, Keirik Absorbed Absorbed the spirit of the insignificant Inspector God Chade Absorbed the spirit fragment [3/3].

The potential divinities that can be acquired at the moment are < Iron Wall > < Enhancement > < Speed > < Condensation > < Reduce > < Speech > . . Thats pretty amazing too. *** In an instant, system messages appeared and various skills were created. Achievement Fear of the Gods has been achieved. Skill Fear Propagation (B+) is created. . . Achievement Worst God yer has been achieved.] Skill Divinity has been achieved. [Negative (A-)] will be created. . . Achievement Overwhelming Power has been achieved.] The skill Strong Strike (C+) will be created. And full of only charred traces with little left. There, with my eyes slightly wide open, I marveled at the power flowing in from all directions. Thats also because the number of skills obtained as achievement rewards was close to double digits before I knew it. The rewards I get from achievements are salty. Even the achievement rewards were not limited to skills. As a result of his achievements recognized by the top, all of his stats increased significantly, and even if that wasnt the case, he had gained some small gains. And with Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >, at least [Transcendence] has also achieved growth. Thats why this alone would be of great benefit The greatest reward was still left. Its not different-. The Spirit Shard [18/3] has met the charge requirement. You can consume the Spirit Shard [18/3] to acquire it by selecting [6] Latent Divinity. . The potential divinities that can be acquired at this time are < Iron Wall > < Enhancement > < Speed > < Condensation > < Reduce > < Speech >. It was that it could absorbrge amounts of divinity. DWhat is this And while I was looking at the system message, the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled. -Six? You can get 6 divinities just by killing these misceneous things? It was worth it. DAt this point, isnt the tower making a decision and giving it away! Divinity, in a word, is the essential power of the Godhead. And I was able to get 6 of them by clearing out the clumsy deities. So, I could understand to a certain extent why Damcheonwu, who dwells in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, shouted as if he was dumbfounded. Just Ambiguous. Its just that I dont like the divinities that can be learned that much. Holy < Iron Wall > Holy < Strengthening > Holy < Speedy > Holy < Condensation > Holy < Inspection > Holy < Speech >. Each has a somewhat intuitive name but thats why dissatisfaction came up from within. If you cant deeply interfere with the concept series, there are only things that are difficult to use. In fact, if these divinities radiated divine power in a pure sense, their value was very low. Divine < Iron Wall > or divine < Strengthen > had many substitutes, and divine < Speed > was useless because it already had divine < eleration >. The better ones are < Inspector > Shin Sung and < Speech > . Its still better than nothing, though. Of course, gaining a lot of divinity isnt bad in itself. Anyway, thanks to Divinity < Transcendence >, you can register a lot of Power Skills just by increasing the number of Divinities. However, in any case, if useless divinities increased like this, there was a need to organize them so that they could be used efficiently. And leaving that thought in a corner of my head, I finished the choice of divinity. Selectionplete. Divinity < Iron wall > < Strengthen > < Speed > < Condensation > < Reduce > < Speech > are reced with potential. In the blink of an eye, after the divinities with different powers are absorbed into the body. As it is, I confirmed the effect of each different divinity. Maybe there could be a big catch that I didnt even think of. But the divinity doesnt go beyond the level I thought? Still, there was nothing very interesting about it. Divine < Iron Wall > Divine < Strengthen > Divine < Speed > are all abilities rted to physical abilities. And even the content was like a high-ranking skill that could be obtained from the tower, in fact, without the depth of thought. Even divine < condensation > and divine < inspection > were close to a kind of always-on ability. Divine < Condensation > increases the speed at which magic and divine power umtes in the body by 10%, and Divine < Reduce > reduces all received damage by 10%. But that is all and the end. The divinity itself has a lot of quantity, but the quality isnt very good. The divine < Eonbyeon > only had the ambiguous effect of inting the persuasiveness of the speech. There doesnt seem to be any deeper effect beyond that. That means its useless in realbat. And DAll the divinities are crude. Dam Chun-wu, who watched it, said that at least he could understand it. DThere are only things that cannot be used universally anywhere. There was no such thing as an independent opinion of the Godhead itself in divinity. Therefore, whether it is the divine < iron wall > or the divine < reinforcement >, in reality, only a formal and rigid effect is obtained. There is no power to adjust the flow of time itself with an interpretation of the concept of remorse itself like the divine Remorse. DIt may not be known at the level of ordinary mortals, but it is certain that the effect itself will be weak in battles between gods. In a word, it meant that the use itself was limited. Maybe its natural since theyre not even officially deified. If you look closely, it would be like an Imoogi that couldnt be a dragon. A mere serpent could notpare to a dragon in the sky. And thats why expectations rose, albeit weakly, on the battlefield of the gods beyond. Certainly, the formal deity and the higher deity were different That would be the case too Would those deep in the battlefield of the gods be better than this? Considering how great the power of the prey that will be over there before you know it, you cant help but look forward to it. I look forward to it. Then, after a small smile, he activated the seal of offering for the first time in a long time. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect, Offering (B), is activated. Received a total of 11 offerings of skills from yourself. Reces the corresponding abilities into divine power and umtes them in the body. Most of the skills acquired on the battlefield of the gods so far were reduced to divine power. The grade of the authority Divine Power (S-) increases to the level of Divine Power (S). Yes. And Huh? The moment I read all the system messages about divine power growth that appeared in front of my eyes. This Only then did I know that the divine power had broken the wall and reached a new level. You mean you can make a holy relic? holy relic. A vessel in which the divinity or power of the godhead itself can be used by anyone. I knew it because I had seen and used the holy relic several times while facing numerous divine attacks. Come to think of it, if you use the holy relic, you can also use the divinity of the ancient deity The divinity that only that divinity can use can be used by anyone using the holy relic. So, I must have once used her divinity < Darkness > as a holy relic of the God of Darkness. Then it was clear what it truly meant for me to be able to make my own relics. What if the divinity can be stored and used in a relic and if it oveps? Its nothing else What would happen if I used the holy relic only for myself. A single divinity, not for any other believer, stores up divinity and uses it. And what if we look at it under the assumption that it can be superimposed by substituting it into a divinity such as the divinity < fighting spirit > or the divinity < transcendence >. What. Effects that have increased 100 times with divine < fighting spirit > can be increased 100 times again with divine < fighting spirit >. That is, by using the holy power stored in the holy relic. What if that even applies to other divinities? The answer to that is fixed. Is that a lie? Seriously Its just that you can square the divinitys effect, right? Depending on the way you use it, you have obtained a cheat key that can be the strongest. Chapter 335 335. Fake (1) Relic. A miracle that allows anyone to handle divinity that only a godhead can handle. If it were assumed that the authority of divine power became S-ss and could handle it, the seriousness of the situation would inevitably rise several times. Its ridiculous to be able to activate the effect of divinity twice It made sense. Being able to imbue the holy relic with the divinity itself was worth it. In fact, the effect of divinities that have arge multiplier, such as the divine < fighting spirit > or the divine < transcendence >, is increased by the square. Not even that. You can stock up on all sorts of divine powers and take them out and use them when needed. And being able to stockpile and use divine power means increasing the gap with your opponent. As far as the holy relic is allowed. It is difficult to arbitrarily judge the effectiveness of the possibility that the holy relic itself can contain divine power. Its really ridiculous At this point, I was so dumbfounded that I was about to burst outughing. Wouldnt it be the strongest if you could raise your abilities many times over with the holy relic? Its okay even if its not a divinity that applies arge square like the divinity < fighting spirit >. If I could use the divine < Death > or the divine < Spirit > ovepping, that would be amazing as well. DTsk tsk. Do you guys only think about eating raw? It should be done in moderation too. But DPerhaps you wont be able to eat that much raw. That was only for a moment. DFrom my point of view, holy relics are not so simple to produce. It was because the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and Damcheonwus voice continued. DBecause it is not easy even for an ancient deity to imbue a holy relic with divinity. What is that? DDoes it seem like putting divinity itself into a holy relic can be done without consuming anything? Then does that mean that a lot of power is consumed to create the holy relic? DEven a holy relic that is intended to be made lightly will require millions of faith and long-term umtion of divinity. DDo you even think thats all there is to it? Damcheonwu clicked his tongue as if he still had something to say. C A vessel to contain divinity. It should be there too. Only then can the relic exist. Thats DDo you know where Noble Phantasms that can make divinity dwell fall from the sky? Isnt that not enough, most of the divinities you possess are concept-type divinities? . DAt least in terms of the level of the tower, an item of SS+ or higher is required to allow you to possess the divinity you possess. Is that so In fact, it means that you cant randomly umte divinity into a holy relic. But it is. Still, it wasnt over. In fact, isnt it that you can make as many holy relics as long as you have enough preparations? That would be the case too I just need to get items from the tower anyway. Isnt there a fixed source for the items to be consumed in the production of the holy relic? And there are ces where you can do that, too. DWhat is that? I dont necessarily have to get an item as a tower reward, right? DWhat To put it simply, this is it. Even From now on, Im going to steal all the items the gods have. That too right in front of you. *** In the blink of an eye, after using all the spirits obtained through necromancy. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits Muscle strength increased by 25 Agility increased by 23 HP increased by 20 Magic power increased by 31 Durability increased 22 It has risen. As I held my hands together, I felt the power rising from inside my body. At this point, I wonder if Ill be able to fight against a higher level deity with my physical abilities. The ability of the body, which has been greatly uplifted by the top system, is not light. It might be difficult to kill a high-level deity with only one physical ability but it would be possible to deal with a high-level deity with only physical ability. Theres just no reason why it should be. As Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > posted [Transcendence] even a little bit, so the work to be done is done. [Transcendence] has risen by 0.018% due to the current myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. Even if its only less than 1%, the growth has a big impact on concept divinity. And above all, since he had obtained 6 divinities, there was no reason to stay here any longer. Well, its a pity that the level of the gods is low, so its a pity that I got a divinity with a piece of the spirit, but it cant be helped. And I couldnt help but lick my lips. I thought that even if they were clumsy deities, I could only get a piece of the spirit. It was worth it. Even if he vaguely attained divine status, he didnt get a piece of the spirit in this way. When he killed Seir Nagrat, the god of words, who was one of the candidates chosen by the tower, he obtained a proper divinity instead of a spirit fragment. But it was only for a moment that I thought it was such a pity. -You sound stupid. Suddenly, Dam Chun-wu continued with a voice that was absurd. DAt that time, the candidate for the tower with the sacred < Sword Spirit > that you were dealing with still had the proper qualifications. Qualification? -okay. Qualification. The minimum condition for bing a formal godhead by acquiring the divinity of a concept. The gnome had it. . DSince you were the one who guarded it, didnt you use the divine < Emperor > very usefully too? And he continued, sounding like it was impossible. -But not the guys here. Even if you have divinity, the possibility is insignificant. Not the kind of divinity that can interfere with concepts. Hmm DIf you look closely, you should say that they are close to thend gods. If divinity does not interfere with concepts, it is not deity. Its just a worm pretending to be a god. I understand, at least roughly, what you mean. Only then did I feel that my understanding of divinity had increased slightly. In short, it means that if you cant interfere with the concept, you cant grow into a god. Perhaps this is the reason why concept-type divinity is so important. Deitys own interpretation of divinity allows divinity to interfere with concepts. So, because they didnt have it, they couldnt even get proper divinity. DAs a godhead, they didnt even have the power to interfere with concepts, so they were only at the level close to thend god. And Dam Chun-wu added that fact as if it were insignificant. DThats why, rather than sharpening ones own strength, he must havee all the way here and willingly be a test subject for the Tower. In fact, it was a remark that looked down on most of the deities here, but Isnt that a big mistake? Most of the deities who came here in the first ce came in pursuit of power. Even more so, arent they gods who know that they are clumsy themselves? The fact that they set foot on the battlefield of the gods means that they have a great desire to be official gods. And that would be no different for the deities over there. There are many who came here to reach the realm of ancient deity. Even if it is a formal deity and a higher deity, it is not easy to reach the realm of an ancient deity. So, countless deities must be fighting each other on the battlefield of these gods. Only for being the winner in the end. Thats why I was curious. For what purpose did the tower build a ce like this? Why did the tower create a ce like the battlefield of the gods and try to shape an artificial ancient deity? I thought about it for a while, but I shook my head and stopped thinking. It wouldnt make any sense to specte here anyway. To make a really meaningful guess, its best to go deeper. Even if he wanted to know the deeper truth about the Battlefield of the Gods, he could not know anything here. So there was no time to think about this ce yet. In response, I started towards the center of the Battlefield of the Gods. Whoa-! Wind Spirits boots (A+) exclusive effect, Wind Road is activated. It wasnt difficult to enter the depths of the battlefield of the gods. ck sphere. If you head to the center of the divineplex floating in the sky, you will be able to go beyond it. In fact, it was. Chak-. Is this here? Before I knew it, I could see something like a boundary beyond the ashes left after being burned by the holy light. Previously, it was translucent, so I could barely read the figure beyond, but suddenly, as soon as I got closer, the color of the border line was dyed ck. The appearance of the boundary line tinged with ck light, as if this ce could not be crossed. But as I got closer and closer, a strange thing happened. Nothing else Conditions satisfied. Confirmed that you have killed a certain number of deities in < #C9-000 >, Battlefield of the Gods. Escape < #C9-000 >, Battlefield of the Gods, and The movement to the zone is being executed. Suddenly, a system message popped up, and a ck boundary line approached me as if enveloping me. The moment I didnt resist and was swallowed up by that ck light. Just like that, the appearance of the world has changedpletely. I couldnt believe it, but is it the way the top ssifies the stages And Iughed nkly at that. It just seems to have changed the world itself. There are no vegetation at all, and there are rows of yellow old buildings in the desert. I couldnt help but admire the appearance that seemed to embody the ancient ruins. One moment to admire him. You have entered < #C9-001 >, the Battlefield of the Gods. This is a site where numerous holy relics lost by many gods are scattered. Condition 1: Kill or subjugate a certain number of gods and build a temple. Condition 2: Prove your status by constructing a temple and installing holy relics that are superior to other gods. Murder or Jobok and the construction of the temple And then I narrowed my eyes. In the outskirts of the Battlefield of the Gods, only killing the Goddess was the only victory condition. However, this ce had slightly more difficult conditions than that. It was like killing or subduing a godhead to build a temple. It is difficult. The restriction to build the temple itself, not just roughly destroy the godhead. I couldnt fully understand what it meant but I knew roughly what to do. Should I acquire a holy relic that is better than other deities here? and. First, we must explore what is here. The moment I tried to move beyond the desert with my eyes closed. Whoop-! ? Suddenly, a roar was heard from the sky, and a stream of divinity was felt there. What is this again And I raised my head and looked at the sky, and I had no choice but to harden my mouth. What is that? tsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!! It was because the ck orb floating in the sky was absorbing something like ck smoke. The appearance of ck fog that rises from all over the desert and goes up to the sky as if it were cleaning at once. And when I felt that the ck mist-like energy was mixed with divine power as well as spiritual power, I had no choice but to widen my eyes. . That would be the case too What The ck fog-like flow had contents that were very familiar to me. I cant believe this Its nothing else Necromancy? The mark of the spirit that I had been watching until now was flowing there. Chapter 336 336. Fake (2) Necromancy. In fact, this could be said to be the origin of my ability to be stronger as I climbed the tower. Even if it is the soul of a god, if it is a ghost, it can be absorbed and reced with power. Necromancy was a foreign power among many unique characteristics. Not even that. Its not enough to extract skills at all, but you can also extract authority from divine power. And I already knew for sure that it wasntmon. I have seen many Awoken on Earth and those who have bloomed their unique characteristics while climbing the tower, but they did not have this unique characteristic either. It was just like that. The power of a unique characteristic subordinated to a mere system can even covet the soul of a god? At that point, even if necromancy is a unique characteristic, it can only be seen that it has clearly surpassed the category of mortality. Even necromancy was focused on bing a divinity itself. In fact, it was. The necromancy that grew through numerous fierce battles made me be the god of death in thetter half. And only I made it possible to control and deal with all deaths. If I had to look closely at that point, I could say that necromancy was my growth route arranged by the Tower. Perhaps the tower was trying to adjust my potential so that I could be a deity who presides over divine < death > through necromancy. Obtaining the Divine < Death > might have been a certain thing for the Tower. Its just that everything didnt go as the Tower intended. After the divinity < transcendence > became my essence, the divinity < death > became a secondary means of divinity. And ordingly, necromancy was also used as the backbone of growth by assisting the divinity < transcendence >, and eventually contributed greatly to the process of bing an ancient deity. In the first ce, I thought the principle of that ck sphere was like necromancy If the tower was greatly affected by it, I could easily understand the scene in front of me. Now I know for sure. The ck Sphere in the Battlefield of the Gods was built on the principles of necromancy. Actually, you could say thats a fake of my necromancy. sure The ck marks that still flowed beyond the ck sphere were announcing it. It was an offshoot of the spirit that could be obtained through necromancy, and it was like the supreme treasure that could forcibly increase the vessel of divinity. Is this what the Tower is using the battlefield of the gods as a test ground for? I smiled mischievously at him. Its fun. and. Took-. Did the battlefield of the gods go like that from the beginning? The moment I lightly touched the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. Only then did the mouth of someone who knew about the Battlefield of the Gods open. As it was, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and a panicked voice came out from there. DDo you think thats possible? And he continued talking like he was dumbfounded. DExtracting the gods soul itself and making it dwell in the ck sphere? Do you think it would make sense to do something like that? Does that mean there is none? -okay. Gods soul represents all that God is. If you swallow that wrongly, the ego may copse, and if that is not enough, there is a possibility that the divinity will copse due to a bacsh. . DNine out of ten, unless you have the ability to filter out the impurities of the spirit. In effect, it means that the ck Sphere is nothing more than a backwardspatibility of Necromancy. DAnd in the first ce, the ck orb on the battlefield of the gods didnt work like that. then. DThe ck sphere on the battlefield of the gods was nothing but a mash mixed with any divinity, without the soul of a god. And then, Dam Chun-wu spoke in a pensive tone. DYes, it certainly must have been. Suddenly, his voice mixed with questions and borderline emotions. -It doesnt seem like that anymore. Anyway, thats not the original way. Unlike the original soup, it is mixed with the soul of a god. It means the situation is worse than it should be. C You can see it that way. Perhaps a godhead who can ept that into his inner world will be able to reach a high level, albeit in a twisted way. Ancient godhead DOf course, I cant give that high of a possibility. Its just that there are possibilities. The odds of bing an ancient deity are very low. Still, the fact that there is a possibility itself is not pleasant. Of course, the possibility itself is very weak. In fact, its just an assembly of fake spirits imitating necromancy. But even so, the fact that there was a possibility that an ancient deity could arise was enough reason to get rid of it. Its obvious why the Tower wants to create an ancient deity anyway. This time, when I saw that the tower assigned the battlefield of the gods for the 26th floor trial, it seemed clear. You mean youre going to see if theres an ancient deity that can rece me here, right? The tower is trying to mold an ancient deity with something like fake necromancy. And putting myself on the battlefield of these gods meant only one thing. Its not different Its fun. The tower is determining whether I am a part that can be reced. Thats why he must have prepared a device like that necromancys backwardspatibility on the battlefield of the gods. It probably meant to see if the ancient deity to be created could win, not me, who would be more and more difficult to control in the tower as time passed. The one who won is the real one And then. Still, if you openly set up a board like this, you have to live up to expectations. I smiled at him with cold eyes. Theres only one thing I have to do anyway. It didnt change that he had to eliminate all the enemies on the battlefield of the gods. Even if there was someone who swallowed that product of fake necromancy, it was just a replica. As he climbed the Tower of Trials, he even destroyed his own replica several times, but there was no way he could not defeat the deity who only obtained fake necromancy. So For now, shall we conquer the battlefield of the gods in turn? Isnt it time to destroy the battlefield of the gods now? As soon as I decided what to do, I looked up and saw a ck sphere. The souls of many gods were still flowing there. However, I analyzed where the souls of gods were surging from rather than that ck sphere. He would be like that too Ive been wondering where on earth they fight like this, but now I think I know where the fierce battle is. Only then will we know where the gods are fighting fiercely. Still, everyone seems to have fun fighting And then. Chijijijijijik-! [Whirling vortex] The next moment. Can I have some fun now? As it was, I watched the space fold and leaped beyond it. *** Deity was a living disaster. The incarnation of a concept that a mere human being can never reach for the rest of his life no matter how much he trains without divinity. The power of those who enlightened themselves to divinity or umted faith and imprinted their divinity in the universe could have copsed the world. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! But The God of Harvestughs out loud in admiration for his own strength. ] Even if they have the power to destroys, that spirit has not reached a high level. [How is it! The strength of this body! The potential of a person who will be an ancient deity beyond a high-ranking deity! ] It deserved it. [Isnt everyone just crawling around like bugs? huh? Hahahahaha-! ] In fact, divinity itself is already an expanded mental body. Most of the godheads who became incarnations of concepts were unable to think normally due to the influence of the divinity itself. Even if it is a godhead that has lived for hundreds of years, it can be said that the inside is actually rotted by the divinity. [A bug child who only lived 400 years! ] [ God of Harvest! like you! You dare to challenge my authority! ] [ A bug that would have been nothing if it wasnt for the battlefield of the gods!! ] And the battlefield of the gods, where living disasters were concentrated, was full of madness. Kkwagwagwagwagwagwagwang!! In the blink of an eye, the moment when dozens of divinities roamed all over the ce. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Lightning strikes like a flood in a ce where there is nothing, and thend of the desert copses, causing a tidal wave of soil and sand, and colorful divinities collide with each other. At this point, even if the is destroyed, there is nothing strange about it, a truly mythical struggle. However, the Battlefield of the Gods is no ones world, but a ce created only by the Tower of Trials for the battle between the gods. The battlefield of the gods did not break even after repeated disasters. As time passed, the fight heated up and the chances of victory solidified. The God of Harvest is satisfied that the number of gods has noticeably decreased. yes this is correct! The likes of you are not up to this body! ] This is because the god of harvest, whose pupils were dyed ck before he knew it, was connected to the ck orb floating in the sky. Divine < Harvest > is activated, extracting divinity from [] and reaping a very small amount. [Hahaha! this! Is this the power of the tower! I feel it! The harvest of the souls of God! ] It deserved it. The god of harvest touched the ck orb floating in the sky. A state in which the contents of the ck Sphere were obtained with the divine power of < Harvest > that only he can use. And he obtained the ability to overwhelm the gods by stealing the power of the ck sphere, albeit very weakly. The harvest god extorts and extorts the power beyond the ck sphere. [You can even covet the soul of a god! ] At that, the god of harvest trembled with a voice full of excitement. [Maybe this body is the only one in the universe that has gained the power to control the soul of a god! ] And. [If its me now, I wont be defeated by an ancient deity! ] Soon, the moment when the god of harvest said that while looking at the deities spilling blood all over the desert. You wont be defeated even by an ancient deity? [? ] Is it just a guy like you? [ . ] That sounds interesting. Suddenly, a man appeared in the middle of the desert. A man who appeared without showing any sign as if he had torn through space. Only then did the god of harvest, who noticed the change, had no choice but to frown after reading the mans energy. I cant feel anything? It was because she couldnt read anything from the man who appeared in front of her. It was as if the man in front of him seemed inanimate to his eyes. It was unknown whether the man who appeared suddenly had divinity or magical powers, or whether he was mortal beyond that. Its like this body doesnt deserve to read that guys power And the God of Harvest, thinking to that point, shook his head and twisted his expression. [ No way! ] The current Harvest God is in a state of receiving power from the ck Sphere, which is a reward there on the Battlefield of the Gods. Even though the power gained from the divinity < Harvest > isnt that great yet, the actual power has reached the upper level of the deity. So he tried to ignore his own intuition. Then, the god of harvest opened his dark eyes wide and said with a smile that the man in front of him was not the same. [ joy. There is no need for this body to read the aura of the shallow. ] The God of Harvest self-justified in that way and gave off a look of intent to live. [Where are you bugs from again? ] And. [Do you want to be killed by this great body that will be an ancient god? ] next moment. me? Only then did the man with the twin swords at his waist smile and said. Its not that great Its nothing else The god of transcendence and death smiles brightly, revealing the status of an ancient deity. ] It was Han Seong-yoon. Deed!! Only then did the God of Harvest, feeling the power of an ancient deity, trembled and made an expression full of astonishment. [A high ancient deity!? Why is there really an ancient deity here. ] [ I dont think that matters. ] [ . ] But that was only for a moment. [ you. ] Just like that, Han Seong-yoon lightly flicked his index finger and smiled. [I think it draws divine power from the ck sphere] Even [Give me that.] Thats a very clear greedy smile. Chapter 339 339. Counterfeit (5) Keeping Jewel Rating: SS+ A jewel made by an unknown god to keep the divinity of a close friend, but failed to do so. A treasured jewel (SS+). As soon as I saw it, I couldnt help but open my eyes wide. He didnt know that SS+ grade items could be obtained so easily. It doesnt seem to have any special ability Of course, the holy relic Jewel of Keeping (SS+) has no special effect unlike its rank. There is only an exnation that an unknown god made it to store the divinity of a close friend. There seemed to be no special effect on the item itself, as if there was no meaning beyond that. Still, this is a huge benefit. But that didnt matter in the first ce. no. To put it bluntly, the holy relic Jewel of Preservation (SS+) can be said to be good because it has no effect. Anyway, rather than using the relic by its own power, I wanted a vessel that could hold the divine power. If its an SS+ grade holy relic, Ill be able to indwell it with the divine < Transcendence > or the divine < fighting spirit >. Divine < fighting spirit > or divine < transcendence >. By enchanting one of the two divinities into a holy relic, the divinity is stacked. Thats one of the reasons Ive been trying to find and acquire high-grade relics. Therefore, if the relic itself had no function, it could be said to be the icing on the cake. DWhat is this even DGetting an SS+ grade relic this way? Dam Chun-wu said that as if he was dumbfounded. DA holy relic that hasnt even been infused with divinity yet? It was as if he had seen a fraudster openly cheating in gambling. But whether it was or not, I didnt care. I knew that I would get the holy relic anyway, and getting it was just faster than I thought. And while I was feeling satisfied, the god of wrath looked at me and spoke to me. The god of wrath breaks out in a cold sweat as he looks at challenger Han Seong-yoon. He seems to know how to be corrupt . Contrary to her concerns, she didnt intend to kill the god of wrath with this. Of course, just as there is a saying that a mountain is a mountain by gathering dust It was regrettable that [transcendence] obtained through the divinity or mythical < possibility of transcendence > that the god of rage had. However, she still had work to do, so she postponed taking it untilter. Come to think of it, I have something to ask you He probably would too Are you confident in architecture? Isnt there still something to use in the battlefield of the gods? [ Is that architecture? ] Arent you confident? [Ah, its not like I dont know how to do it at all, so how could you ask that. ] Thats it. Then I smiled at her and pointed with my thumb to a ce in the desert. chuck-. Build it. [ yes? ] Build it. [ ah. ] Only then did you realize what I was talking about? Before I knew it, the god of wrath looked at me, shaking his eyes violently. As if he wanted to deny what he had just heard. But I didnt have any hesitation. If we want to move on from the Battlefield of the Gods to the next area, we have to build a temple here, right? It was worth it. You have entered the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-001 >. This is a site where numerous holy relics lost by many gods are scattered. Condition 1: Build a temple after killing or subduing a certain number of gods. Condition 2: Prove your rank by constructing a temple and installing a holy relic that is greater than the one riding on it. The conditions for clearing Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-001 > are the construction of a temple and the instation of holy relics. Its a skill that only gods can do, but I cant do what ordinary gods can do. In the first ce, unlike ordinary deities, I have only grown up by climbing the tower. There was no way he was used to building something like a temple like a normal godhead. So So you guys should build my temple instead. [Uh that sounds like a bit difficult] Dont say weak things like you cant. [ . ] Looking at the god of wrath and many other deities, I said with a smile. Because it all sounds like you could die. and. The god of transcendence and death reveals his dignity while looking at the deities like flies. [Okay? ] next moment. The skill Proof of Divinity is activated. ording to the level of divinity , a formless pressure is developed outside. ] After that, the deities quickly began to build the temple. *** In the blink of an eye, the gods started building the temple. He looked so excited as if he could die if he didnt do it. Those who can be worshiped in any world cling to mere structures. Of course, there had to be some who didnt. [Its bitter! Why do I have to do this?! ] Shall I say that I uselessly ridicule the subject who is building a temple inpliance with my orders? [Ugh! I am Goddess! Why should I build a temple that mere mortals build! ] However, such dissatisfaction did notst long. [Keep your mouth shut, you bastard! Where is the non-god in this ce! ] [Thats why we cant all die together. Just shut up and do it. Well done. ] [ Hey there! If I get caught making a shrine with my authority, I know Ill run after you! okay!? ] Thats also true, because the gods who became sincere in the construction of the temple did so. Thanks to that, I didnt even have to put theirints to rest. Is this the friendship that sprouts in coboration? It looks efficient. And when I nodded my head and spoke as if humming, I heardmentation in my ears. DHuh It was Damcheonwoo. DStill, where did the naive guy in his own way go? Only one demon remained here Lets just say hes be efficient. D. Actually, it is. But I didnt even care about what he said. I dont think Ive ever been so naive, but its actually because this is the most efficient move. I dont know why, but it wasnt that easy to make a temple of god. Isnt that why the deities over there are sweating so much and making the temple with all their heart? And seeing that, I was able to confirm again that this was the right choice. If I had to build the temple myself without divine authority, my time would have been greatly wasted. If the building itself does not contain faith and sincerity, is it not treated as a temple? The gods, who seemed to know a lot about temples, got very angry if they tried to build a temple roughly. As if it couldnt be recognized as a temple because of that. And in the process, I was able to build theories about temples in my own way while watching the process of building the temples of the gods. I cant believe that a temple isnt just about building a building. A temple is a kind of collection of beliefs and worship. If it was built roughly, it could not be recognized as a temple. If I had tried to establish the temple on a daily basis using a power like the divine < Emperor >, I would have had to go through a lot of trouble. The Battlefield of the Gods is a very annoying ce. But now it didnt matter that much. Anyway, the gods over there will build something like a temple. So I averted my eyes from there and then looked at the holy relic in my hand, the Jewel of Keeping (SS+). A holy relic. Never before have I created a relic. So, I briefly thought about what to do to create an alternative holy relic. However, such wandering thoughts had to disappear as soon as he focused his consciousness on the creation of the holy relic. I think I instinctively know how to make a holy relic. Still, was it not in vain that he had risen to the level of an ancient deity? Before I knew it, I was unconsciously thinking in my head what to do to create the relic. Perhaps, it will be okay if I engrave the divine < transcendence > or the divine < fighting spirit > on the holy relic Jewel of Preservation (SS+). Its just Im worried. If theres anything wrong with that, its only one. He had to decide which of the divine < transcendence > and the divine < fighting spirit > would be imprinted on the holy relic. If there is another item like the holy relic Jewel of Preservation (SS+), you dont have to worry about it. However, in reality, shouldnt divinity be imprinted on only one holy relic? . And I was able to decide what to put after thinking for a while. Still, it would be better to just use the divine < fighting spirit >. It was worth it. Although the divinity < transcendence > is a conceptual divinity and is excellent, ovepping them only increases the growth rate. It will not guarantee victory against the formidable enemy in front of you. However, on the other hand, the divinity < fighting spirit > was able to raise not only divinity and magic, but also physical abilities to a transcendent level. So, I did not reverse my decision. I think this would be the best option. and. The authority Divine Power is activated and the divine < fighting spirit > is imprinted on the Jewel of Preservation (SS+). Faaa! In the blink of an eye, the divinity within the body emits light and is engraved into the holy relic, the Jewel of Preservation (SS+). It looks as if it is undergoing an borate engraving process by a craftsman who has reached the pinnacle of technology. And at the same time, the appearance of the relic Jewel of Keeping (SS+) changed. Its not different. Kazijik! This is The pink jewel turned into a passionate red color. Also, geometric patterns were engraved on the red jewel. Not only that, but something else has changed. That is Jewels with deep fighting spirit Rating: SSS+ Only challenger Han Seong-yoon can use them. A jewel that an ancient deity kept her divinity . You can activate the time exclusive effect Will to Fight. When the exclusive effect Will to Fight is activated, divine < fighting spirit > is activated . Like this one. Its fun. and. I didnt expect it to turn out as I thought. The moment I finished reading the system message about the description of the holy relic in front of me. Limited to one time only, the user can ovep the divinity < fighting spirit > with an external divinity. As it was, I couldnt help but smile. This could be used as ast resort. Thats a smile full of deep anticipation. Chapter 340 340. Real (1) Jewel containing strong fighting spirit Rating: SSS+ Only challenger Han Seong-yoon can use it. A jewel that an ancient deity kept her divinity . When done, the exclusive effect Will to Fight can be activated. When the exclusive effect Will to Fight is activated, divine < fighting spirit > is activated. Only once, the user can activate the divine < fighting spirit > > can be stacked with an external divinity. A jewel that seems to have confined the light of a pulsating me as it is. Looking at the holy relic, Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+), I smiled deeply. The effect of the divine < fighting spirit > enchanted inside the relic was an ie beyond imagination. It was just like that. The Holy Relic Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+) is an item that only I can use. Even that was not enough, so if you use this, you can ovep the divine < fighting spirit > even if it is limited to 1 time. I got the best results. Its meaning is not small. Considering the exact effect of the divine < fighting spirit >, this was inevitably enormous. Thats because the divine < fighting spirit > has a really crazy effect that increases various abilities 100 times. Actually, if I had this, I wouldnt be too far behind even if I fought against an ancient deity. Attack speed, musculoskeletal strength, mana concentration, divine authority, etc Numerous abilities that directly or indirectly affect life-and-death battles could be strengthened 100 times by the divine < fighting spirit >. Not even that. The divine < fighting spirit > had an indirect effect on all abilities over time, and because of that, his physical abilities were able to rise dramatically. It was literally one of the strongest cards I had. DWhat is this! And Dam Chun-wu said it as if he was dumbfounded. DWhat kind of nonsense is this! It was worth it. DThe divine < fighting spirit > can be stacked only once In fact, the holy relic, Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+), would be close to the level of bnce copse. DEven if you use an SS+ grade relic, isnt this a result beyond your expectations! Indeed, from the perspective of others, the result would have been astonishing. But even so, I didnt think it was all-around. Thats also true, because the divine < fighting spirit > has some restrictions attached to it. Then, I touched my chin and spoke to Dam Chun-wu as if adding an exnation. So, isnt it clear that the divine < fighting spirit > has a limit? -maximum? No, to be precise, should I say its a chronic problem with the divine < fighting spirit >? DIs it a chronic problem? what did that mean There can be no such thing You know. Its nothing else Performance proportional to activation conditions and constraints after activation. The conditions for activating the divine < fighting spirit > and the proportional conditions for its performance can be said to be the constraints. Divine < fighting spirit > is activated when the enemy cannot handle it. Normally, the activation style of divinity isrgely divided into two. The first is random activation that is activated ording to the users will, and the second is conditional activation that requires certain conditions to be met. It was a structure that was no different from skill or authority. And the divine < fighting spirit > belonged to thetter. Even in the process, the divine < fighting spirit > had to have an enemy to deal with, and not enough of that, and the level of buffs obtained with the divine < fighting spirit > is also limited. And I exined that to Dam Chun-wu. The divine < fighting spirit > cannot be useful unless it is a one-on-one fight, so it must be defined as an enemy. -ah. If you insist, you cannot deal with an ambiguous structure or concept that cannot be defined as an enemy like the Tower of Trials. DThats well. It may be a difference in perception, but I see. I cant deny it. Thats true to some extent. Thats pretty much the story. Thats why it was difficult for the divine < fighting spirit > to be activated immediately. Even more so if it is an ambiguous transcendental structure like a tower. Theres no way I can stand up to a tower thats not in front of me right now. Of course, if you can recognize the essence of the Tower of Trials and even what you should call your body, the story may be different but thats not a story that can be discussed now. And the level of the divine < fighting spirit > is determined in proportion to the fighting spirit of the user. -so? If thats not going to happen, but if I lose or break my fighting spirit, my divine < fighting spirit > will be useless. DHmm Even the upper limit of buffs is influenced by emotions, so there must be a strong random tendency. DThats true too. Of course, I could solve this. Anyway, if the level of divine < fighting spirit > changes ording to emotions, then I just need to raise my spirit ordingly. However, even so, the chronic problem of the divine < fighting spirit > could not be fixed. In other words, the divine < fighting spirit > is specialized in a duel with a certain opponent. So, because of that, I couldnt fight an enemy who was not caught in the cognitive range, and even had to stage a duel situation to use it properly. That alone is a fundamental limitation that cannot be erased. Still, I cant deny that the stack of divine < fighting spirit > is one of the strongest hands. First of all, it means that you should know that there is a fixed ce where you can use the divine < fighting spirit >. It was only then that Damcheonwu trembled the de of the Bloodcheon Demon Sword as if he hadnt even thought of it. As if I realized what I meant. And he said with admiration. DCertainly, I am the person I am ? DUnlike you, its been a while since you used your brain to find a loophole. Not like me. I just did what I was supposed to do. But even so, I wasnt particrly excited. If I hadnt been able to think of this, I probably wouldnt havee this far in the first ce. Shouldnt you be able to use it in the right ce only if you know the essence of the divine < fighting spirit > and the disadvantages beyond it? Divine < fighting spirit > cannot be used on towers or unrecognized enemies. In fact, its like a ce where you can use the divinity It doesnt matter though. It didnt seem to matter much. After all, I had no intention of using the divine Fighting Spirit against an unrecognizable enemy like a tower. Even if it is not, there will be a mountain of enemies to face in the future, and at that time, the ovep of the divine < fighting spirit > will shine. Even more so when I think of despair, fall, and the god of madness. A deadly means to defeat only one overwhelming enemy. How this will be used is up to me. The moment when I imprinted that fact in my mind and put the holy relic, Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+) in my bosom. The god of wrath looks at challenger Han Seong-yoon with tired eyes. you are great The construction of the temple has beenpleted but is this enough? ] Before I knew it, the god of wrath, a woman with pink hair and slit eyes, started talking to me in a cold sweat. And only then did I realize that quite a bit of time had passed. Its nothing else The achievement Establish a temple has been achieved. All stats increase by 1. Now, only my own temple was built. Even in a ce in the desert where there is nothing. Perhaps the gods worked together to build the temple in the best possible way. And I nodded my head looking at the antique temple in which gold and ck were properly mixed. Its not even a temple Ill use myself, but it seems to have been built very well. [ Im just grateful that youre looking at me that way. ] Only then did the god of wrath smile and put on a rxed expression. And shes not the only one with such a rxed face. Its not different [Buy and live! d finally did it! Hahaha! ] [ Whoop whoop-. Its like taking a breather. ] [I never thought that the day woulde when I had to build a temple like this ] As it was, the gods other than her expressed relief and showed hope that they could survive. Its a bit unfortunate that itse to this. Even so, there is no way they can survive. After all, I have no intention of keeping the gods alive. The [Transcendence] of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > and the rewards that can be obtained through Necromancy urge killing rather than saving. Honestly, considering the fight toeter, it would be right to look at efficiency here. By the way Conditions satisfied. It was then. The god of transcendence and death satisfies the conditions and acquires the appropriate ancient divine power. ? Right away, he pulled out the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and tried to deal with the deities in one go. Suddenly, a system message appeared in front of my eyes, announcing an emergency. Even You have acquired the ancient divine power, Apostle Divinity Designation (SSS-) What is this again? Its also a very unusual anomaly. *** Apostle Goddess Designation ssification: Ancient Rating: SSS- Qualifications that only ancient gods worshiped by gods can have. Even if they are gods, they can be made apostles. In addition, if the conditions are met, a believer who is not a deity can be made an apostle deity. If you wish, you can bestow one of the divinities of the ancient godheads to attain the forcible godhood realm. The more gods you worship, the more you can directly help the Apostle Godhead achieve thepulsory godhood realm. Myths generated by the faith received from the godhead are ssified as ancient myths, and they are created only by the faith obtained through the worship of the godhead. . Designation of the apostle godhead. Powers ssified into a new category called Ancient Divine Powers. I narrowed my eyes as I saw the power I had acquired by submitting to the god of wrath and many other gods. Its an ancient divine power Its the first time (ʼ„). I had never heard of this before. However, that does not mean that there is no guess at all. At some point, in a corner of my head, I was reminded of the god in the sky I saw on Earth. This is probably a kind of authority used by the god of despair, fall, and madness. It was worth it. Because at that time, it was the god of the sky who was chosen by that ancient deity and hit the ground on earth. However, I narrowed my eyes as I read the exnation of the system message that popped up in front of me. But there must be many differences. Being able to use a godhead as an apostle wasnt that strange in itself. However, what was written on the other side was quite heterogeneous. That is the phrase, If you wish, you can forcibly achieve the attainment of divinity by giving down one of the divinities of the ancient deity. What it means is one thing. Could it be that Catherine Be or Lee Ha-yeon can be forcibly made into a god? There was a ce to use the useless divinities umted on the battlefield of the gods. Even that as a very efficient route. What if Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon could be made into deities with not much value like the divine < Iron Wall > or the divine < Speed >? It will reveal ridiculous utility. This is why there are gods who worship ancient gods I understood. Why do the gods worship the ancient gods and want to be chosen? It was possible for an ancient deity to impart divinity to followers under its umbre. That is why many gods and followers worshiped the ancient deities. So Only then did I turn my head and see the gods kneeling in unison. The god of transcendence and death looks at the official deities and smiles. [You want me to take you all? ] Its nothing else The god of rage lowers his head and makes a forced smile as if hes a little embarrassed. ] Right after building the temple that only I can have. Before he knew it, the god of wrath had been prostrated in front of him and had been saying so. He looked like a servant who had an audience with the king. And when I saw her, I was dumbfounded. For some reason, he followed my words well. Perhaps the gods in front of him seemed to have waited only for this moment. At least they probably wanted me to ept them as followers, if not apostles. Only then will he be chosen as an apostle deity and forcibly reach the level of a higher deity. But its not bad. But even so, its not a bad thing. Even if divinities cannot be obtained through mythology < possibility of transcendence > and necromancy, the worship of a god is worthwhile. It is unclear to what extent it will benefit. Nevertheless, as he became an ancient deity, his deepened instinct told him that it was right to ept them as believers. That would be the case The more deities worshiped, the more direct help the Apostle Deity reached the forcible deity level. Myths created by faith received from the godhead are ssified as ancient myths, and they are created only by faith obtained through the worship of the godhead. A part of the contents of the ancient divine power Designation of Apostle Godhead (SSS-). It is because of the new possibility that lies beyond. A reward that can only be obtained by worshiping the godhead. They feel somehow necessary. Worshiping many deities will soon lead directly to opportunities to gain new powers. So he nodded and allowed the worship of the gods. Then it wouldnt matter. [ ah? ] It means that I will allow you to be my followers. [ hot! Thank you-. ] But still, the condition cant be missed, right? [ yes? ] For a moment, the god of wrath made a bewildered expression that did not match his sharp impression. Like I dont know what youre talking about. She looked up with a bewildered face, her pink hair flowing down. It was no different not only for her, but also for the gods beyond. As one, the gods each have a curious look on their faces. and. Simple. Looking at their bewildered faces, I said nothing. Because it means to show your sincerity. [Sincerely? ] Your followers. Or holy relics or simr items. Show your sincerity with it. [Whats that] Dont like it? [I think that would be a bit difficult for the circumstances. ] The god of wrath shrank like a small animal and noticed, but Do you really think so? Even that was only for a moment. By the way, can you select one person as a divine apostle on a firste, first-served basis? [ yes? ] Ill give you one minute. [ .] Lets make the choice. next moment. Anyway, any one of you will be able to be my godhead apostle. In an instant, the eyes of the gods were stained with infinitely deep greed. Chapter 341 341. Real (2) In an instant, a battle of notices broke out between the gods. [The apostles are selected on a firste, first-served basis? ] It was worth it. Being designated as an apostle of an ancient deity can be directly linked to apulsory elevation of the realm. Therefore, even if he reached the level of official godhood, he was bound to be shaken. The reason why they came to this battlefield of the gods was because they said that the tower could be a god of a high level. Then theres nothing I cant seduce like Top. It is a god who came all the way here, stimted by the power in front of his eyes. So I thought that he couldnt help but cling to the position of the apostle of the ancient godhead Could it be that being an apostle of an ancient deity was more powerful than I thought? All of a sudden, the gods jumped out almost simultaneously, without saying which one was first, and offered a lot. [The Brain Gods Orb! This is thest holy relic left by the god of thunder who was on the verge of defeat! So its value is beyond imagination] [ Get out! Thunderer? under! Where to rub the holy relics of such an old child! You ancient deity! I will offer the sacred relics of the god of search, one of the seven gods of Ares] [ hour! Ill offer you one of the holy relics left by the god of time! therefore! Couldnt you give me the grace to be selected as an apostle!? ] Indeed, a fierce battle of words that is not like a god. But beyond that, there was someone who stood out the most. It was none other than the god of wrath, a woman with pink hair and snake-like eyes, said to have the holy relic of the god of time. Its one of the holy relics left by the god of time. And I couldnt help but roll my eyes at her words. He may have never heard of the God of Time directly, but it is because I have seen the relic. Isnt the holy relic that I am wearing on my wrist right now, Returners Worn Watch (SSS+), also one of the holy relics left by the god of time. So, it was difficult to draw attention. This is bound to be a bit appetizing. Even I am not the only one. [City God of time? Then, the holy relic of the time series series for you, the god of wrath!? ] [This is nonsense! The relics left by the god of time are few and far between in the universe! ] [I agree. god of wrath. How could someone like you have the relic of the lost old monster? ] Before I knew it, the deities here spat out such astonishment. [Whoops! Thats what you guys dont know, right? Kut! Anyway, I have a holy relic left by the god of time! ] And in the meantime, seeing the reaction, the god of wrath smiled triumphantly as if he had seized her victorious spirit, and straightened her shoulders. [I guess this is my victory! ] But I narrowed his eyes rather than readily taking sides with him. Come to think of it, didnt you tell me before that you had no more holy relics? [ oh? ] Im sorry. [Yeah, but this can be exined. ] It would be better to hold off for now. [!? ] Then next. Because of that, I casually saw another god. Of course, if I had to argue, it was as if the winner had already been decided. A holy relic that interferes with the short time that the god of time left before disappearing. At the point where the god of wrath possesses it, it wont beparable to any holy relic. But I didnt immediately admit it. If I acknowledged it right away, the other gods wouldnt make any money. That way, youll be able to rip off a lot of things from other gods as well. Shall we call it a torture of hope that deceives the psychology of expectation? In any case, it seemed that the other gods were going to explore to see if they had something useful. To put it bluntly, there must be things that the real wrath god does not like. Still, thanks to the god of rage, I had a lot of fun, so Im not particrly angry. thats not that big It was because she obtained the strongest hand with the holy relic Jewel of Preservation (SS+) obtained through her donation (?) of the god of wrath. It was also an unusual level of cards that could stack divine < fighting spirit >. Thats why I had enough thoughts to ept the god of wrath as an apostle. I was just doing this because I was afraid that other gods would reveal their bottom line if I told them openly. Ego. I smiled at him and continued. It must be an opportunity to be an apostle of an ancient deity. Not different But, where can there be a deeper sincerity than this? To be able to rob the gods in front of them as much as possible. The God of Severance seeks out the holy relic and presents it with deep greed. The God of Resonance, with deep greed, surrenders the faith of the Shinto The god of hypocrisy stirs up deep greed and takes control of religion is this fishing going very well? Thats very certain. *** Time passed, but nothing changed. Isnt there anything more than a holy relic left behind by the god of time? Is there a certain limit to the supply and demand of holy relics? I tried all the resources of the gods, but nothing better came out. Even though he received the right to operate a faith or a religious organization held by other gods, it was the same. I think I ate everything the gods in front of me had Even so, it was all a little better than useless or useless to me. Then, as I had internally decided, I decided to select the god of wrath as the apostle deity. Its just that the god of wrath bes the apostle deity. But did the god of wrath not know that he would be selected as an apostle? [ yes yes? really? is it me? What makes an apostle a god? ] She wiggled her pink hair around and pointed at herself with her finger, but she didnt change. Thats right. Wasnt it a set procedure to choose a god of rage anyway? [ Whoo whoop whoop! Do you really think Im going to be an apostle of Godhead? Aha ahaha! ] As it was, I chose her without her inspiration, and her wrath god expressed great joy as she let out her smile. So, should I give you the holy relic that the god of time left behind? but for a while. [ iced coffee! yes Thats right~ Of course you have to give it, right? Unlike others, I am a buyer! Ahaha! ] When the god of wrath said that to the other gods, discontent erupted everywhere. [Its rotten. The image seems to be twisted. To think that I should give that seat to someone who has taken it so far. ] [Honestly, arent you buying the holy relic of time concept interference that the god of time created? ] [I dont know where the god of wrath got that stuff] The Wrath god passed me an old-fashioned telescope, enjoying the gods reaction. The Telescope of Time and Observation Rating: SSS- A telescope for time observation in a parallel world created by the god of time based on the divinity of observation. When used by [Ancient Godhead], the exclusive effect Observers Time can be activated. After using the exclusive effect Observers Time, the item itself disappears. By observing the future of the not-so-distant parallel world, you can summon another one of your own powers. The parallel world exists but does not exist and is only a kind of possibility. However, in the time zone of the parallel world, if the user cannot handle it or if there is no close rtionship at all, it cannot be observed. thats fun. and. I didnt know that only ancient deities could use the power of the holy relic. Seeing that, I smiled a little. A beautiful telescope engraved with geometric patterns for some reason. Reading the exnation in the system message above it, I narrowed my eyes. An item that can only be used by an ancient deity by picking one out of countless conditions? I could see why the god of wrath had not been able to use it properly even though he was hiding it. But that was only for a moment, and my eyes lit up when I read all the exnations that were added below. This means that I can observe the future where I am in the parallel world Isnt this like a mirror that reads the future shown by the god of proof? But it wasnt quite the same as that. Because the holy relic Spyss of Time and Observation (SSS-) can bring the power of the future self. In fact, shouldnt it be a temporary growth? I couldnt tell how good this was. It doesnt really make a lot of sensepared to the worn-out wristwatch of a regressor. It was worth it. How useful would the relic Spyss of Time and Observation (SSS-) be if it could borrow one of the features I need to reach into the future? Even the parallel world and the power of I that would have reached the future timeline could not be summoned if the current I could not handle it. Thats why it was ambiguous. It wouldnt be very useful if I could just bring up a useless what if story to the current me. Still, the ability of the relic itself is quite unique. parallel world. It brings the power of me in the not-too-distant future among the countless possibilities of time. That in itself is certainly intriguing. If I can bring the possibility of what I can reach to me here, it can be of great help in some cases. But it was a gamble. Perhaps the distant future is unobservable, so its performance seems ambiguous. It would have been nice if it had been openly fraudulent, like a regressors worn-out wristwatch (SSS+). Its just a pity that it isnt. However, there may be opportunities to use itter. Right after I put the holy relic Time and Observation Telescope (SSS-) in my inventory. As it is, most of the holy relics received from other gods were converted into divine power. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering (B) is activated. You can offer your [talent] [ability] [treasure] to the gods. Not different I chose to offer a [treasure] to the god. Please designate the [treasure] you wish to offer to the gods. I received 19 items from myself. Reces the corresponding items with divine power and umtes them in the heart. Except for one holy relic to decorate my temple, I changed everything to divinity. Its neat. And then I turned around and went inside the temple, and roughly ced a holy relic inside. Click-. Condition satisfied. Confirmed that all clear conditions for < #C9-001 > on the Battlefield of the Gods have been met. Escape from the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-001 > and move to the next area. As a result, system messages appeared in front of my eyes and informed me that I could go to the next area. Zuuu-. Before I knew it, I smiled as I watched the space tear open inside the temple and open the path. Now I can go to the next one. It seems like youve spent quite a bit of time attacking the Battlefield of the Gods There is no need to waste your time. Then, shall we quickly finish the Battlefield of the Gods? Anyway, the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > and the growth of necromancy must be lurking beyond. That way you can get what you want quickly. so. It will be fun. Now, isnt it time to see the end of the Battlefield of the Gods? *** After entering the world beyond the temple in the blink of an eye. The ancient divine authority designation of apostle deity is activated. You can designate an Apostle Godhead to make a Shinto a Godhead or a Shinto an Apostle Godhead. Currently, the number of candidates for divine status and divine followers who worship the god of transcendence and death is [7]. As it was, I brought the gods and activated the ancient divine power, Apostle Divinity Designation. This. and. I bring up the list of followers that can be designated as apostle deities. You can forcibly elevate the level of divinity possessed by a follower by designating an apostle deity. Disciple who can designate apostle deity (1): Lee Ha-yeon Disciple who can designate apostle deity (2): Catherine Bet Disciple who can designate Apostle Divinity (3): Lucia Mimir Disciple who can designate an apostle deity (4): Katia Apostle deity designation possible follower (5): [God of Wrath] Soliet Lelia . . The moment when a list that can be designated as an apostle deity appeared through a system message. thats interesting. I had to admire him greatly. Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon can also be designated as apostle deities I never thought there would be so many people other than the God of Wrath who could be designated as apostle deities. Even Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon, who are not so high in divinity, could be designated as apostle deities. And thats not all. Followers from various worlds that I saw while climbing the tower, such as Lucia Mimir or Katia, were also showing their presence there. However, he did not yet intend to designate them as apostle deities. I think itd be better to designate this the next time I go back to Earth. It was worth it. Even if Catherine Bet or Lee Ha-yeon were designated as apostle deities here, it would not mean much. Anyway, before the Apostle Godhead, the connection with the Godhead was not that deep. Even that was not enough, and I was suddenly selected as an apostle, and I could feel the confusion. I want to quickly throw away the useless divinities, but I cant help it Thats why I didnt do anything else and selected the god of wrath as the apostle god. The god of transcendence and death appoints Soliet Lelia as an apostle deity. And as a result, numerous system messages came to mind, but I did not intend to pay attention to them anymore. I only focus on breaking the battlefield of the gods and advancing. Before I knew it, I erased all my thoughts and crossed the battlefield of all the gods with the gods. In fact, on my own. If the conditions for clearing < #C9-002 > of the Battlefield of the Gods are met, you will move to the next area. If the conditions for clearing < #C9-003 > of the Battlefield of the Gods are met, you will be moved to the next area If the conditions for clearing < #C9-004 > of the Battlefield of the Gods are met, moving to the next area is actually . . In an instant, the battlegrounds of countless gods were pierced, and even the conditions for clearing the ordeal were satisfied. Satisfying the conditions for clearing the trial. Are you sure you want to stop the trial? however. Is there any way to stop? Nheless, he persevered. There are so many things I need to get here. That would be too Divine < Harvest > is activated, extracting divinity from [] and reaping a very small amount. As time goes on I get more and more. The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy increases by 0.01%. Increases the mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy by 0.01% The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy has increased by 0.01% Before he knew it, the divine < Harvest > increased his necromancy proficiency, and his growth elerated. Growth is getting faster Not even that. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the Divine Power brought him 0.94% closer to [Transcendence]. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the Divine Power brought him 0.91% closer to [Transcendence] Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against Divine Power increases [Transcendence] by 0.87% Not different I have absorbed the spirit of Rikhard Serild, the god of euphemism. I have absorbed the spirit of the god of rebellion Radpa Karame Absorbing the spirit of Tessid von Asral Kelliom, the god of destruction Even those who reached official godhood quickly gained strength by killing without hesitation. At least, I collected more than 10 concepts of divinity. However, that doesnt make it useful. On the contrary, it just feels cluttered. Even if the concept divinity increases, this isnt very efficient. Even if you can increase the number of Power Skills with Divine < Transcendence >, it is the same. Although the number of concept-type divinities increased, the number that could be used practically was not sorge, and along with that, the number of power skills could not be used too much. Thats why its the same situation as gireuk. It was all the more so because even concept divinity was trivial. Im sure this will need to be mitigated by designating an apostle deityter. As a result, I had to remind myself of the fact that I had to remove the divinities. You have entered the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-006 >. And finally You have entered the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-007 >. This is and of destruction where many gods are at odds with each other due to differences in views. Condition 1: Eliminate every opponent who opposes you. Condition 2: Absorb the [] in the center of destruction and be a god. The moment we reached the end beyond the Battlefield of the Gods beyond many barriers. Shoot AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! From above, I saw ck mud falling into the center of the earth. Even when that ck mud fell, a wave of divinity resounded. It is also a very heterogeneous wave of divinity. DCould that be And Damcheonwus voice, which resided in the Blood Demonic Sword, froze coldly, and a shallow astonishment flowed. DDid someone else steal your fake necromancy? As if it could be like this. I dont think so. At the point where the fake necromancy, the ck sphere, fell, a mighty flow of divinity was felt. NEW! The final victor has been born on the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-007 >. On the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-007 >, the god of victory Yakharu Kadomo absorbed []. To put it bluntly, I think it can be said that this seems to have been the Towers intention. And seeing the system message that appeared in front of my eyes, I had no choice but to calm my eyes. Did you say he was the god of victory? It was worth it. The god of transcendence and death intuits the birth of an ancient deity. [ It seems that an ancient deity appeared there, as the Tower intended. ] Not different [An ancient deity with a minor version of my necromancy. ] Under the leadership of the Tower of Trials, an ancient deity was being born. Chapter 342 342. Real (3) NEW! The final victor has been born on the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-007 > God of victory on the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-007 > Luka Yakhar Domo has absorbed [] The God of Victory. A deity with the long name of Yakharu Kadomo has acquired a fake necromancy. And in the center, there was a tremendous wave of divinity that even I, an ancient deity, could not ignore. It felt. The process of the divinity of the concept breaking down the boundary between the body and the soul and uniting them was being portrayed. Now it was easy to see that someone from beyond was stepping into the realm of ancient deity. Is this what the Tower of Trials did? At this point, its ridiculous. It was said that it originated from one of the ancient deities, the Tower of Despair, Fall and Madness Now that the ancient deity is being born right in front of your eyes, it is slightly unclear what the Tower is doing this for. But one thing was certain. Its true that an ancient deity is being born there, but Thats not like a wless ancient deity. Still, didnt the Tower of Trials work as intended? The ancient god who was about to be born in the center of the battlefield of the gods couldnt see it the same as me. I dont know why, but it seems that the level of perfection itself as an ancient deity is very low. It has to be. After all, the ancient deity born at the center of < #C9-007 >, the battlefield of the gods, is not perfect. It is caught in the sense that the divinity of the concept is not even in harmony. And that is to damage the spiritual body of the impable conceptualization of the ancient deity. At least its not apleted ancient deity like me. It cannot be said that he has yet reached the realm of an ancient deity. If I had to question it, should I say it was a preparation stage to enter the ancient deity? Perhaps the essence of fake necromancy wouldnt allow you to step right into an ancient deity. Then, with my eyes closed, I put my hand on the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, and then a familiar voice spread in my mind. DHan Seong-yoon. Its nothing else DI think youd better step back from this point. Suddenly, Dam Chun-wus voice was full of bewilderment and fear. DAnyway, the ordeal on the 26th floor is over. There would be nothing to be gained by staying here any longer. So its time to step back from here You want to run away? DIts not that, its about making a rational choice. What is there is something close to an ancient deity. If you deal with it, there is a possibility that you will lose too But dying the choice is not the answer. But I casually dismissed his words. If we withdraw from this ce, he will be an enemy we will have to faceter. It was worth it. Isnt Yakharu Kadmo, the god of victory, an ancient deity born through an experiment led by the Tower of Trials? There was a high probability that it would act as a threatening variable to me, who had been somewhat hostile to the tower. What the tower wants is not something like me stepping out of here. Not even that. Perhaps the Tower is what I want to prove. Is it because the tower noticed the reason for calling me to the Battlefield of the Gods under the pretext of an ordeal? That I am not an ancient deity born in a mereboratory, but that I am an attractive candidate for The Top. Truly a tant provocation. At this point, I cant even consider stepping back anymore. If we continue to back down from the towers unreasonable actions, we will have to deal with the headwind. Thats why, looking at the ce where the ancient deity was being born, I showed a fishy smile as if responding to the towers tricks. And above all, it will be a good stage for me. DYou You know? What did I get here. DAre you sure you intend to use it here? For now. It was only then that I smiled brightly, holding the reddish jewel in my left hand. I havent used it yet but nothing else If I can use this, Ill be sure to win. The holy relic Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+) is in your hands. That too, very definitely. All of a sudden, his eyes filled with the certainty of victory sparkled. *** A jewel with strong fighting spirit (SSS+). A means that only I can open the way for the divine < fighting spirit > to ovep. To use it, in a word, means to suppress the opponent with the expansion of power, regardless of rank or divinity. Its not a waste to use a holy relic. However, it was unknown whether it would work for the Ancient Godhead. Anyway, if there is an item for the holy relic, I might be able to get it again. So this is what you need to know. Can the superposition of divine < fighting spirit > really crush the ancient deities? Even if you lose the holy relic Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+), you should do so. And the ce where the best use was possible was right in front of my eyes. Should I say it was a bit of a risky gamble? But even so, the heart is not shaken. On the contrary, the feelings that have sunk beyond the image be firm and only add to the uprightness. Its worth a try. Feeling the tension running through my body, I quickly prepared to go to the deepest part of the battlefield of the gods. I cant fight yet. Can not help it. If you go directly to the deepest part of the Battlefield of the Gods, the gods will be neglected here. And of the deities still alive here, there were only those who showed feelings of worship toward me. Even if it is a divine concept, it would be more efficient to try to use it after making it a follower than to kill it. Gods can still be used, so we cant just leave it like this. Thats why I called Soliette Lelia. The god of wrath looks at you with restless and shaky eyes. ] And ordingly, she said it as if she had something to say, but I had no intention of epting it. Take the gods and evacuate to the outermost ce in the battlefield of the gods. [ yes? ] You cant escape from the battlefield of the gods without the Towers permission, so that would be better. [No, thats] And until the fight is over as much as possible, gather your strength and hold on. [ uh. I mean. I dont know what the heck that means ] If you fail, you could die too, so I rmend working hard. [!?!? ] Soliette fluttered her arms in amazement, then trembled and pursed her lips. As if it was difficult even to think properly because of the shock. Soon, btedly, astonishment leaked from her lips. [Where is such a thing! ] Hung-. Wind Spirits boots (A+) exclusive effect, Wind Path, is activated. Without listening to her, I kicked the ground. It took Soliette out of sight for a split second before I pushed aside thoughts of the gods. It was because he thought it would be better to turn off his nerves as much as possible since he wouldnt know if the gods would be able to survive anyway. DIsnt that a cruel treatment for being made an apostle? Of course, Damcheonwu, who seems to have a lot of sensitivity unlike a blood horse, said it regrettably. DStill, the gods and the apostle Solliet must be precious to you, right? But I just cut it off and said it. Maybe, maybe not. D? I just did it because I was curious about what it would be like to have the divine power as an apostle. There is nothing to look forward to. DThats a heartless sound. I was just telling the truth. It has to be. Those whom I have so far reaped as apostle deities or followers on the battlefield of the gods are not worshipers. Wasnt it only that I was overwhelmed by my power that reached the level of an ancient god and had no choice but toe under mymand? Its not a rtionship of trust, so at this point Ive done my duty. Currently, the gods there are far from the true worship. So I had no intention of paying more attention to the gods. In fact, it is because there is no reason to take care of the gods by consuming the power I have. The opponent at the end of the Battlefield of the Gods is a monster among monsters reaching the level of an ancient deity. Even if the conception of the ancient deity was not perfectly achieved, he would not be the one who could deal with mere official deities. If I take care of the gods, I might end up at a disadvantage by telling the truth. and. A number of ancient deities wish to observe your trials. A number of ancient deities pay the Tower of Trials to attempt observation. The Tower of Trials By activating #B-008 [Allow part of trial observation], observers are created. The moment I quickly advance to the battlefield of the gods. The [Trial Observation Area] of the Ancient Godhead is expanded. The [Trial Interference Area] of the Ancient Godhead is expanded. What is this again? System messages appeared before my eyes, notifying me that there was an outside observation after a long time. The god of light is looking at you with interest. The god of darkness looks at you kindly and waves his hand gently. The god of proof is barely looking at you. Im looking at it as if Im looking forward to it. The Dragon God is ring at you, hoping that you will pay attention to her. This seems like a long time ago. The gods, who had been invisible until now because the tower had blocked their observations, had revealed themselves. Was it btedly learned that I was on the battlefield of the gods? I could tell that they intervened in the Tower of Trials so that I could see where I was. Although the ancient deities are watching this ce, they do not feel any particr sense of alertness. Its not a particrly bad flow. He would be like that. It doesnt matter because the ancient deities know a lot about me anyway. Even if the ancient gods observe this ce, there is not much information to be obtained. Even that is not enough, because the Tower of Trials will block some of the observations during observation. It doesnt matter how much the Ancient Godhead observes this ce. At this point, its enough to feel wee to familiar people. Its been quite a while since weve seen each other with the Dark God and the Dragon God, so its fun in its own way. Not even that. The [Ordeal Observation Area] of the Contracted Manager, Sword Lord is expanded. The [ Trial Intervention Area] of the Contracted Administrator, White Crane Swordsman is expanded. Is it possible to see the ordeal? The manager, Iron-blooded Lord, is watching you quietly cheering. The manager, Baekhak Geomseon(Q), holds both hands tightly and looks at you with eyes full of anticipation. Now I am Are contracted managers allowed to see this ce? Managers with deep ties showed up and showed off their presence. Of course, it seems that I cant openly show my eyes because there are ancient gods, but But it was satisfying to me, so I smiled slightly and felt the eyes of the ancient gods and administrators at ease. At this point, I feel nostalgic. but for a while. Still, I have to do what I have to do. As it was, I sharpened my edge again in tension and kicked the air wide open to reach where I wanted. Chak-. Is this here? and. Achievement Secret Explorer has been achieved.] All stats increase by 10. Achievement The Being Who Revealed the Secret of the Tower has been achieved] All stats increased by 10 Achievement Challenger who saw the abyss All stats 10 above This Within a short time, ck mud broke out in the deepest part of the battlefield of the gods. the moment you put it on. Iron Poo-! [Is the of ? ] Somethinges out of the lump of ck mud in the deepest part of that ce, and an unknown echo spreads. And I narrowed my eyes in disgust at the unidentified voice. That must be the case too The god of #, * and ? is facing you. It was clear to me from the system message that appeared in front of me before I knew it. [ You. ] Its nothing else [ My. ] That it is a twisted existence. [Is it ? ] In the blink of an eye, a human figure slithered and trudged out of the ck mud. It resembles a savage, and the appearance of a veteran with busts all over his body. The moment when the image of a savage warrior who has passed through countless battlefields is revealed as it is. The dark red divine light flowing from the eyes of the warrior revealed in front of them was telling them. That thing in front of me isnt a proper ancient deity. The god of struggle, victory, and death confronted you. [Are you my original?] That you are a fake that only copied my power. Chapter 343 343. Real (4) The system message that appeared in front of my eyes upies one square of my field of vision. The god of struggle, victory, and death looks at you. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the system message, whose name was still partly covered by the ck box. Its a god who controls more than one divinity of concepts. The savage in front of him, who was originally just a god of victory, is in a state of overstepping the stage of fight and victory. Not even that. Beyond struggle and victory, there was also a familiar kind of divinity. And does the other person know that too? [ Are you my original? ] A savage with ck hair who emerged from the ck mud before he knew it asked such a question. A rough appearance reminiscent of an ancient savage warrior. However, contrary to such sentiments, the eyes of the savage in front of him are calm. The savage, slightly stepping on the level of an ancient deity, continued to speak while removing the ck mud from his body. [I feel it. ] . [Your spirit, your energy. To lead many deaths after many deaths. That is the power of death alone. ] Can you feel that? [I have no choice but to do that. ] Then, the savage grinned and tore the corners of his mouth and drew a mad smile. The god of struggle, victory, and death reveals the light of greed to you. [As you can see, Im your fake. ] Looking at the divinity beyond struggle and victory, I smiled. I knew it would be like this, but Then I opened my eyes sharply and felt an unpleasant valley-like sensation. Its almost disgusting to see it in person. It was worth it. I never expected to see someone else possess the divinity I have. Because the ancient deity in front of me had my divinity. The result obtained by extracting the spirits of the fake necromancy and the deities beyond. Beyond struggle and victory, the divinity hidden by the ck box could be known without lifting the veil. Exactly I never thought I could control conceptual death in that way. Before I knew it, even the savage in front of me was able to handle the divine < death >. Even with the benefit of the fake necromancy he received from the top. And Yain did not deny that fact. [It just happened that way. ] Contrary to the outward appearance of a mere savage warrior, his sunken eyes and calmly captured actions. [I didnt know that the towers final reward was something like this, and I just ate it] However, the emotion beyond that is the essence of greed that is far from calm. [But thats right. Its not bad, if you ask me. Or should I say its better? ] The deity who presides over the concepts of struggle and victory wore an eerie grin on his lips. [Even if its a gods soul, being able to handle it at will is a tremendous power. ] But thats not your strength. [ . ] You cant be the god of death. And I smiled at him and continued talking as if it wasnt the same. Even if you obtain divine < death > under the leadership of the tower, it cannot go to the subjective realm of the concept. [ . ] Im sure you know why? [ because I just copied your divinity. ] Yes. I am the god of death and you just copied me. It means nothing more than that. The divinity of a concept is not something that many people can have. Only one Transcendental One can govern and handle the divinity of concepts. That is one of the causes of the divinity of the concept. So, the divinity of the concept leads to the divine name as the identity of the godhead. Even if I had part of the supernormal ability of the divine < Death >, I would not be able to reach it. Then, is there a fixed answer? I was the one who became the god in charge of divine < death >. Even if the god of struggle and victory in front of us gained the power of the divine < death >, it could not lead to the subjectivity of the concept. Even that power that was only copied will soon perish. Therefore, the god of struggle and victory could not have the divinity < death >. It seems that he still possesses the divine < death >, albeit imperfectly, with the fake necromancy given by the tower It probably wontst too long either. It will be gone in less than a week. And the other person knew that too. [ Know. you are real i am fake An irreducible gap. can you not know that One] But. [You know what? ] Still, the god who presides over struggle, victory, and false death did not give up his greed. [If I can get rid of you, I can be real, not fake! ] Before he knew it, his eyes grew red, and the shamanic tattoos all over his body glowed ck. The god of struggle, victory, and death reveals his murderous intent to you. Its nothing else [Im! A warrior born with the fate of victory! I can be real, not fake!! ] The warrior who had hidden his greed under the foundation of calm until now openly revealed his ambition. The divine < giant > is activated, and the body of the god of struggle, victory, and death grows bigger ording to the degree of excitement. [Beyond you here! Be a true ancient deity recognized by the Tower! Lets go to the world beyond that! ] And. Perhaps he wants to take my ce and be the hound of the tower Soon after, the body of the savage, covered in ck mud, grew bigger and bigger. Then do it. In response, I did everything I could, regardless of the gigantic figure of the god of struggle and victory. Transcendence and the god of death are coldlypeting. next moment. [ !! ] As it was, a shout filled with fury was let out, announcing the start of a desperate fight. *** The skills were activated in an instant. The skill Battle eleration is activated. The skill Shock Block is activated The skill Instantaneous eleration is activated] Passive skills umted so far Active skills Other powers A skill that could be used like a skill was used. But it didnt stop there. Other than skills, abilities such as conceptual divinity and general divinity were also used right away. However, the system message that appeared in front of me was quite heterogeneous. I ran into a strong opponent that I couldnt handle as a user. The skill Indomitable Will is activated. What is this again? It was worth it. A skill that only activates when faced with an opponent that cannot be won or cannot handle. The fact that it was activated means that the god of struggle and victory in front of me is a stronger enemy than me In fact, the god of struggle and victory, which I couldnt properly conceptualize as an ancient god, couldnt be stronger than me. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Powerful > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. Opponent? But the system didnt judge it that way. The moment when the skill Indomitable Will wasnt enough, the exclusive spell < Despise the Strong > was also activated. Before I had time to figure out why they were activated, the god of struggle and victory mmed his fist. [This is the status of a great warrior who has only won victories! ] Quaaaaaaang! The moment when, in the blink of an eye, the air was ripped apart and the lowered fist struck the ground. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Corresponding shockwaves and tsunamis made of soil hit all over the ce, causing an earthquake. [Hahahahahahahaha-! ] Not even that. The divine < Death? > is activated, and the death of all things dwells everywhere. Chijijik-. Suddenly, a noise-covered divinity was activated, and the force of destruction shook the strikes. A divine ability that can only bring death to all things. But I wasnt too upset. Its just The gods of transcendence and death are dumbfounded by the other persons alterations. He justughs at the other person who has been ying dirty tricks. hey. and. Divine < Words > are used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed when you use words that interfere with thews of the world. Dont take this away. ? Kwajijik-! With just that one word, all the power of the opponents blow lost its form. Divine < Death > can only be said to be mine. By the way, youre responding to me with a minor version of the divinity copied from the divinity < Death >? At this point, its beyond absurd to the point ofughing nonsense. Am I insane? It even seemed that I wasnt the only one who felt that way. The god of darkness looks at you with a bad habit of stealing your power. The god of proof shows contempt for the disgusting fake appearance. Im going away. Many gods are watching this ce, and they are thinking the same thing. Im annoyed by that insignificant blow that copied the divinity of the concept. However, there was no time to care about such a reaction. [ okay! This wont work! how about this one? ] That should be the case Divine < Thunder > is activated, and divine thunder falls from a high ce. Divine < Frenzy > is activated, and the heat is condensed and shot in multiple directions. Divine < strong wave > > is activated, and the divine attack flows and spreads like a wave. ] Fake necromancy is not the end of the power of the opponent in front of you. There were also divinities inherent in the spirits of the gods umted in the dark sphere beyond the battlefield of the gods. Even if they havent reached the realm of concepts, some divinities can squeeze each others power to the limit inbination. Exactly ] Like now. Kwakjijijijijijik! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee- Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwak Kwah Kwa Kwah! Thunder strikes the world as if splitting it apart, and the beam splits into dozens of lines and shoots, and all the attacks spread like waves. It was literally a prelude to ruin. If this ce had been a normal rather than a battlefield prepared by the tower for the gods, it would have been destroyed as it was. Still, it didnt matter. Use divine < protection > Consumes divine power to give out a protection that excludes external divinities once . Anyway, with the effect of the divine < Divine Protection >, you should be able to drain the power casually. I can stop this enough. However One possibility of the divine < victory > being activated and leading to defeat is eliminated. Could that be the target? [Do you think you can stop it?! ] In the blink of an eye, the divine < Victory >s power disappeared. What Thats very neat. The possibility of leading to defeat can be ruled out? It was only then that I realized what the contents of the divine < Victory > were, and I couldnt help but open my eyes wide. What is this again It was just like that. Divinity < Victory > is the power to block the number of cases that lead to defeat. And the number of cases leading to defeat was not applied only to the decisive phase. Even though the divine blow almost failed, he recognized it as a possibility of defeat and erased the power of the divine < protective protection >. Can there be such a divinity? That means one thing. In effect, the possibility of leading to defeat means that the risk can be erased with the divine < victory >, whatever it is. And only then did I understand. How can the god of struggle and victory remain so well after taking the essence of fake necromancy mixed with the will of the gods? Even the reason for the activation of the skill Indomitable Will and the exclusive spell < Despise the Strong >. At this point, its just openly cheating! but for a while. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! After the explosion of divinity that poured out in the blink of an eye swept the area. Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee I felt my body recover with gray fresh blood. shit. It was strange. Even though the divine armor and numerous protection-type skills are working, the damage is not reduced. At most, the blow that should have ended with a slight injury reached the level where it worked as a fatal wound. And I could see where the problem wasing from. The god of struggle, victory, and death roars wildly, confident of victory. [Hahaha! you! cant beat me! Even if you are real! You cant defeat me-! ] Its nothing else The divine < fight > is activated, and the cooldown of the divine < victory > is reduced by 100%. [Because I am an undefeated warrior! ] All of a sudden, the sacred < fight > was activated, and the repeated activation of the divine < victory > urred. [You can handle death itself! haha! Yes, unlike me who is a fake, you are the true owner of the concept! But what about that? ] At that, the savage warrior opened his dark red eyes wide and said, unable to hide his excitement. [ I am! never lost! Hundreds of thousands of thousands of times! Victory was repeated! ] Kuuuung-. [If you meet a warrior, kill a warrior, if you meet a wizard, kill a wizard, if you meet a king, kill the king! ] ordingly, the god of struggle and victory increased his size. The body that grew bigger and bigger by the divine < giant > isparable to Taishan. However, as if that were not enough, the god of struggle and victory grew more and more excited. [That wasnt enough, I killed my world itself and killed the god of this ce at random! ] And. [But what about you!? ] The savage, who was given a body like a mountain by the divine < giant >, lowered his head and looked down at me. [Even with such a false power, the karma you umted is not even my toes! ] A figure that boasts an overwhelming appearance while squatting as if watching a mere insect. [You are a more fake bug than me, who is fake! ] . [One I am a warrior! He is also an invincible warrior! Your true concept of divinity is too much for someone like you. ] What? [? ] Whats the point of losing to me today anyway? But I answered him roughly with a smile. The calctions are roughly finished. and. I also figured out how to win. next. So, to put it in a word I said with a big sh in my cold eyes. you. next moment. Just die. Kwajajak-. Divine < fighting spirit > is activated with the effect Will to Fight exclusive to the Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+). The Relic is destroyed by the exclusive effect Will to Fight for the Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+). The red jewel shattered before I knew it, and the stream of divinity flowed from it. The god of transcendence and death speaks confidently of perfect victory. [Lets see if this can be prevented with such a trivial act.] Its nothing else The divine < fighting spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used. With Divine < Fighting Spirit >, challenger Seongyun Han receives arge buff in proportion to the level of fighting spirit. With Divine < Fighting Spirit >, the recovery speed and total amount of recovery increases by 10000 times. With Divine < Fighting Spirit >, all body Ability bes 10000 times stronger. Divinity < Fight > increases the attack speed by 10000 times. Divinity < Fighting Spirit > increases the external divine resistance ability by 10000 times It was an ovep of divine < fighting spirit >. Chapter 344 344. Real (5) System messages appear in front of your eyes, blocking your view. Divine < Fighting Spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used. With Divine < Fighting Fighting >, challenger Seongyun Han receives arge buff in proportion to the level of fighting spirit. Healing speed and total recovery amount with Divine < Fighting Fighting > Increases by 10000 times. Divine < Fighting Spirit > makes all physical abilities 10000 times stronger. Divine < Fighting Fighting > increases the attack speed by 10000 times. Divine < Fighting Spirit > increases the external Divine resistance increased by 10,000 times The original divinity < fighting spirit > had the effect of adding corrections to various abilities. Physical ability, reaction speed, cognitive ability, attack speed, recovery total amount, etc In proportion to the users fighting spirit, it gives a 100-fold multiplier to countless abilities. And what if it is used one more time. Deed!! It was simple. I can just be insanely strong. Truly, the ability to go beyond the limit line is disyed. Of course, even if it was a buff to various abilities, it didnt mean that the quality of spirituality or divinity would increase. Only pure force expands. But even that was enough. Divine < fighting spirit > makes various abilities 10,000 times stronger, but theres no way Im weak. Result of consuming the holy relic Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+). It is done with numerous abilities applied, including the exclusive spell < Contempt for the Strong >. Even if the level of divinity or the level of the soul doesnt rise even slightly, it doesnt matter. Anyway, at this point, with just a simple expansion of power, Ill be able to take down the level of divinity. The God of Light is interested in how your Divinity stacks. The God of Proof is greatly perplexed when he sees your Divinity stacks . In the blink of an eye, as the divine < fighting spirit > ovepped, different reactions appeared. The ancient deities were praised, embarrassed, or intrigued. And it was no different from the struggle and victory in front of them. Its nothing else The god of struggle , victory, and death is taken aback by the sudden expansion of power. expressed surprise. [How can the expansion of power go that far? ] It deserved it. In fact, the power gained from the stacking of the divinity < fighting spirit > would be unusual in the realm of ancient deity. Various abilities that have been raised through countless trials so far have increased 10,000 times due to the ovep of the divine < fighting spirit >. It must be strange to not be surprised. At this point, he could beat and kill a high-ranking deity with only his physical abilities. thats interesting. Not even that. It is not just an improvement in physical abilities from a very simple point of view, but abilities such as divine powers and skills are greatly enhanced. it was being felt In fact, the 10,000-fold increase in various abilities obtained through the ovep of this divine < fighting spirit > is worth more than that. I really wonder if this is the power I have But admiring him is only for a moment. [ Stupid. ] Before I knew it, the god of struggle and victory was looking at me with eyes full of disappointment. [I wonder if thats all for the subject who acted as if he could win against me? ] The moment when the savage, who had walked the path of invincibility by only repeating victories, said that. [You just shuddered with arrogance] Wow. Just like that, the god of struggle and victory raised his body and emitted a roar of rage. [If so, is it enough to rule out the possibility itself with my divinity < Victory >! ] And. The Divine < Victory > is activated and one possibility that leads to defeat is eliminated#^@%*. The next moment. An error urred. The transcendence and god of deaths external divinity resistance ability is very good. The probability of Divinity < Victory > being activated greatly decreases, and the Divinity activation judgment works. In front of each others eyes. The system messages that would have appeared were infinitely out of the ordinary. [What.] No matter what kind of divinity it is, it has no choice but to activate the divine authority itself. Each other can block the activation of divine powers for reasons such as items, divinity, or authority. However, this does not mean that the probability of activating divinity will decrease, so that divinity may not be activated at all. Because thats what divinity is. Even more so, the divinity < Victory >, which touched the realm of concept divinity, had to be activated without fail. [What is this! ] However, thatmon sense was broken like an illusion here. The activation of Divine < Victory > was blocked by simple external divine resistance. The external divinity resistance ability, which is merely an ability that can resist the simple release of divinity. All of a sudden, the divinity < fighting spirit > increased the effect by 10,000 times, blocking the activation of the divinity power itself. [ how! What the hell have you done! How can this be possible ] The moment when the god of struggle and victory was astonished and iprehensible. I dont think theres any reason to wonder about that. Only then did I smile and activate my divinity. Divine < Words > are used. You can consume divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a lot of holy power is consumed when you use words that interfere with the logic of the world. ? Get rid of that. And. Failed to activate. The activation of Divine < Victory > was rejected by the opponents External Divine Resistance ability. The next moment. Kwajijik-! In an instant, the activation of the divine < Victory > copsed, and the fragments of the divine were scattered all over the ce. [What the hell is this] And then, the god of struggle and victory threw the giants body back and swallowed the saliva. The appearance of destroying the divinity activation itself, which does not work withmon sense. The god of struggle and victory fled as if frightened by it, but before long he spat out a voice full of rage. [ Gut! Even so, its meaningless! Even if you cant use the divine < victory >, isnt this just a return to the starting point! It doesnt change! ] And I replied with a nod. Its normal not to have abilities like that cheat key, but However, I didnt agree with the statement that it didnt change at all. It wont change anything though. [? ] Actually, Im curious about something. [What is that.] Simple. It was worth it. Perhaps I have all stats close to 4000. Kwaaaak-. It made me wonder why I hadnt cared too much about it until now. Before I knew it, I was pulling my right arm tight with a tight fist. A state of strengthening physical abilities that is approximately 10,000 times or more. [10000 times? ] What will happen if I hit the hardest at this time? [What the heck] And then. The god of transcendence and death licks his lips while smiling. ] next moment. !! The blow, which reached infinitely close to the speed of light, was fired while dyeing the area red. *** A desert made of ck sand. On the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-006 >, there were about a dozen gods walking. The appearance of those who were forcibly half-determined to serve only Han Seong-yoon for the rest of their lives. The god of wrath grumbles and expresses his dissatisfaction with an ancient deity . [Chi. Oh really. Why do I have to be in a ce like this] Soliette Lelia, whomands the gods there, had her pink hair flying and her eyebrows twitching. [I can fight well enough. ] It deserved it. Called the god of rage, she is one of the gods optimized for battle. However, I couldnt get anything from the battlefield of the gods, and I was irritated because I was leading the gods and retreating. [Why is the ancient deity I worship so small? ] And then Soliette groaned and continued her steps. In addition to the SS+ grade relics, he also dedicated the Sacred Relic Time and Observation Telescope (SSS-), a series of concepts of time that are well known among deities. But even so, Soliette gained little. It is only that he became the apostle of Han Seong-yoon, who is close to thest of the ancient gods. Other than that, Solliet gained nothing, and Han Seong-yoon didnt even tell her to help in battle. [It is not possible to umte achievements as an apostle, and all the rewards obtained in the battlefield of the gods are taken away] Originally, she came to the battlefield of the gods to reach the position of a higher deity. [What is this really a ve? ] Thats why it was natural forints toe out. It was the same for those who followed her to the outskirts of the battlefield of the gods. The gods of different divinities nodded in agreement at her words. [Thats it too. I never thought Id have to be content withing all the way here and just keeping a lifeline. What a miserable word. ] [ Shit! Why cant I go to the center of the Battlefield of the Gods with you? Anyway, the god of victory ate them all! ] [ So! I really cant understand! No, the battlefield of the gods is over anyway! But why are you fighting alone? ] Even if a victor usually appeared on the battlefield of the gods, it wasnt that strong. And there were quite a few gods who knew about it, so the gods couldnt help but think that Han Sung-yoon was acting exaggeratedly. Its nothing else, the ancient deities scared me even though I wasnt even born. Even that was not enough, and now the same godheads gathered together and discussed the fierce battle that was going on in the center of the battlefield of the gods. [Perhaps it would have been over soon if a god optimized for battles like the god of rage went? ] [I dont think so. After all, the god of wrath is certainly strong. ] [ I think so too. ] And Soliet pricked up her ears and twitched her lips. [ Hmm, thats it. im not that strong Compared to the ancient deity, its just a blood clot. ] Soliet was so humble, but her mouth was quivering. [Still, youre strong, arent you? ] And Soliet smiled brightly, unable to even show humility any more. [Hmmmm! Still, what am I counting on! Maybe the God of Victory or whatever is no match for me. ] One, and that for a while. thud-. [ ? ] Soon, the moment when a shallow earthquake suddenly sounded on the ground. Chaeng-Grang-! The barriers of the Tower of Trials that divided the battlefield of the gods were shattered, revealing the scene beyond. Zeng-! Its nothing else JEEEEEEEEEEEEING!! It is because thunder raged in the deepest part beyond the battlefield of the gods and heat waves raged. [What is this! ] But that didntst long either. [ . ] Soon after, the moment Soliette Lelia saw the gigantic giant beyond it. [ what? ] !! After a momentary sh of light, a mushroom-shaped cloud swayed. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Immediately following that, there was an explosion that would have blinded sight and hearing if it had been mere mortal. [Ah] Only then did Soliet Relia understand. The rank is different Why did Han Seong-yoon order to stay the farthest away from this ce? In an instant, light shes and a huge heat wave covers the sky. And as the process is repeated several times in an instant, the area gradually turns into and of death. Even the most shocking thing was different. I cant believe that Its nothing else Soliet noticed that Han Seong-yoon was doing such a thing with her bare body. Isnt she a deity who worships and supports Han Seong-yoon? Thats why I had no choice but to notice even if I didnt want to notice. That strange phenomenon in front of my eyes was caused by Han Seong-yoon. [ . ] The moment when all parts of the space that was created considering only the fighting of the gods crumbled and cried out for the end. [Ha ha ha ha ha ha] Soliette couldnt help but stare at the ce with shaky eyes in a cold sweat. A feeling of adoration arose spontaneously and covered her body. Only the fear of rejecting the unknown remains. Its nothing else [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that there was a power to create cosmic fear. [God bless you] Thats a very overwhelming level. *** In the blink of an eye, dozens of heatwaves ur and cover your eyes. This seems beyond imagination. And when I removed the things that obstructed my vision, I couldnt help but admire. Is this how it works? The ground looks like a crater made in the moon. Even that was not enough, there were even traces of the giant, the god of struggle and victory, hurled from the earth. It seems that he couldnt handle the 10,000-fold increase in his bodys abilities through divine < fighting spirit > . It must have been the earth here that was pretty intact despite the numerous concepts of divinity that hade and gone. This is what happens when an ordinary blow without divinity or magical power reaches its peak. I should have been quietly surprised by him. Originally, a godhead is a monster that deals with concepts. Thats why I subconsciously thought that I wouldnt be able to blow the opponent away with a single physical attack. At least the god of struggle and victory must have been hurt quite a bit. But it wasnt. Even opponents who had reached the level of an ancient deity could not withstand the physical strength. Theres a high probability that he couldnt even resist by adjusting his items or body to the spirit world with the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, but Its true that its beyond imagination. Still, it could be said that it was a great achievement. In fact, it was. Because the god of struggle and victory had flown so far that he could not be seen before his eyes. At least it would have flown to the distantnds beyond. And what that meant was this. A number of ancient deities are amazed at your skills. A number of ancient deities want to reward you for exercising your skills. I seek the payment ofpensation to you. The Tower of Trials activates #D-108[External Intervention Reward], and an appropriate reward is given. Its nothing else Achievement Best in Light Achieved near speed.] Agility increases by 1000. I was able to face the divinity of the concept of highly developed physics. Chapter 345 345. Remegeton (1) A number of ancient deities exhale in amazement at your skill. A number of ancient deities want to reward you for exercising your skills. A number of ancient deities are tried. I seekpensation for you by paying the price to the Tower of. The Tower of Trials activates #D-108[External Intervention Reward], and an appropriate reward is given. System messages appear in front of you , covered the eyes What is this again? However, I couldnt understand the system message. Thats because there is no reason why many ancient deities should reward me. It would be even more so if it was a form in which an ancient deity had to pay the price to the Tower of Trials. Of course, the attacks with the physical ability that increased 10,000 times the divine < fighting spirit > were special. Even if he couldnt achieve the conceptualization of the Ancient Godhead, he was able to overwhelm those who tried to reach the level of the Ancient Godhead to some extent. I want to paypensation for the skill exercise Sub-light speed (). It was a blow that came closest to the light. Its specialness certainly would have forced the recognition of an ancient deity. It was just like that. Even though the deities were different in every case, they could use movements that were at the level of subsonic, sonic, or supersonic But none of them could match the speed of light. Even those who focused on the fact that the divinity of the concept itself was swift were often unable to surpass my physical abilities. To have done it could certainly be seen as a feat. What the hell am I thinking? However, that could not have caused many ancient deities to act this way. sublight speed? so what is that? If there is no w in the realm of ancient deity, ordinary prizes or physical strength cannot be the center of battle. Only the divinity of the concept and the power of the umted myths will be able to decide victory or defeat. That is the realm of being an ancient deity. I dont think an ancient deity would have such a high value. The physical force that can strike the divinity of the concept is nothing at that level. The god of struggle and victory failed to achieve the conceptualization of the ancient deity, so he was only dealt with like this. I couldnt understand why so many ancient deities reacted so violently. Its been a while since Ive been immersed in doubt and thought over and over again. Achievment closest to light has been achieved. Agility has increased by 1000. Soon after, the system message appeared in front of my eyes again. What is this I had to open my eyes wide in amazement at him. As an achievement, I was able to increase my agility by 1000? It was worth it. Originally, there werent that many abilities that could be obtained through the achievement system of the tower. At most, the rate of increase in various abilities was in the double digits. Should I say its because Ive never seen a four-digit increase in stats? In an instant, I felt my mind turn white. And then, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hanging from the waist trembled violently. Its nothing else DWhat is this!? Damcheonwus astonished and delighted voice was ringing in his ears before he knew it. DIs it possible to increase US agility by 1000? Like I cant believe that this nonsense really happened. -no. No matter how close you get to the speed of light in the first ce, this level of reward is. But there was no room for his words tost. The god of darkness wants to pat you on the head, saying that you were wonderful! Its an interesting situation in its own way! The dragon god says its worthwhile to have you as a sessor candidate! -no. Now that I see it, I think I know where the hell this level of rewardes from. And at that, the shaking of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword decreased, and Dam Chun Woos copsed voice resounded. A reward of 1000 increase in agility obtained from the achievement The speed closest to light. It was obtained because many ancient deities paid the price for the Tower of Trials. I dont know why many ancient deities cheered so loudly, but there was nothing bad about me right now. Can you say that the ancient deity shows some kind of liking? Of course, I dont know why everyone has such a crush on me. But at this point, one thing was clear. Its not different. Kwaaaak-! At this point, it would be worth trying just light speed instead of sublight speed. Before I knew it, I was able to move at the speed of light itself with this. You can tell without having to move directly. The gifts of many ancient deities have now made it possible to reach the speed of light. Not only that, but even more could be possible. The 10,000-fold strengthening of the body obtained through the divine < fighting spirit > will allow you to have speed that ispletely out of thew through the agility of the system. Maybe its possible to go beyond the speed of light. and. I can expect what kind of ramifications this will show The moment he put a smile on his lips, revealing a certain amount of satisfaction. The Tower of Trials determines the weakening of the clearing difficulty and proceeds with a bnce patch. ? Suddenly, a system message reappeared in front of my eyes, and something changed. The Tower of Trials activates #A-047 [Clear Difficulty Adjustment], which gives room for intervention in the trials on the 26th floor. ?The god of struggle, victory, and death is determined by the Tower of Trials to be the Towers vessel. ? The god of struggle, victory, and death ? is adopted by the Tower of Trials as the center of adjustment for clear difficulty. What is this again Unintelligible phrase. But isnt it necessary to understand it? Before I knew it, the system message in front of me continued on its own, as if it had nothing to do with my thoughts. The Tower of Trials activates #B-091 [Forced Divine Injection], and the Towers Vessel forcibly obtains divinity. ? God of struggle, victory, and death ? acquires divinity < Adaptation >. . Forcibly acquiring divinity? Are you openly cheating now? When I saw that, I was dumbfounded and had to say that. Thats also the case, because Ive never seen a tower forcibly acquire divinity from a godhead. I couldnt help but be surprised that he made the excuse that he was adjusting the difficulty level because of me. Its really shit Its not even that. The Tower of Trials activates #D-421 [Character Information Reproduction] to recreate part of the person information in the Towers Bowl. ? The God of Fight, Victory, and Death [Challenger Seongyoon Han]s physical abilities Some of them can be inherited and used. The Tower of Trials activates #F-129[Copy Skill List] to simrly inject a specific persons skill list into the Towers Vessel. ? Struggle, Victory, and Death The god of ? acquires some of Challenger Seongyoon Hans list of skills simrly. The Tower of Trials activates #E-615 [Force Holding Bowl], adjusting the durability of the Towers Bowl so that it can withstand the force. . ? You will be able to withstand all the power that the god of struggle, victory, and death receives as a vessel in the Tower of Trials . there was. Only the physical abilities and skills of Challenger Han Seong-yoon recorded in the tower, and even the strength to endure all of them were given. And what that meant was perfectly simple. Its nothing else You mean youre going to make that guy a fake to rece me? This would be nothing more than openly promoting the god of struggle and victory. It actually was. At least there had to be some kind of justification to be able to do this level of trickery but thats not the case anymore. thats fun. At this point, do you think you dont care about that? The Tower of Trials was overwriting my data to the god of struggle and victory. My unique characteristics, my physical ability, my skill list, etc I put a lot of data of Challenger Han Seong-yoon as if pushing it into the god of struggle and victory. Its not enough, and I feel cold when I see that he forcibly acquires divinity or gives various preferential treatment, saying that he is a top bowl. You mean were leaving now? And I smiled coldly at him. DIm not crazy Thats why he was astonished that Dam Chun-wu had simr feelings. DTheres no way the ancient deities who love you would stay still after seeing thisD However A number of ancient deities express their dissatisfaction with your situation. A number of ancient deities request the Tower of Trials to cancel the bnce patch. Pay the Tower to stop the abuse of authority. The Tower of Trials activates #E-011[Reject External Intervention] to block direct intervention by the Ancient Godhead . Unlike the tower, there was no corner for the ancient deity to intervene this time. As if nothing could interfere, the Tower of Trials activated its exclusive authority and cut off the intervention of the ancient gods. But there was no excitement. It was because I had no intention of relying on the hands of the ancient deities anyway, and wanted to find out why the tower was doing this. If the tower just came out like this, there must be a reason. So I thought about it for a while with my eyes closed. What does the Tower of Trials want to create such an absurdly crude bnce? And I was able toe up with an answer to the question about it not too long ago. I am judging whether the Tower of Trials should endure the heterogeneity of challenger Han Seong-yoon Now I know what you want from me. It was simple. You mean, in a nutshell, to prove that I am worth more than a hound? So far, the Tower of Trials has raised me to be a good hunting dog. However, is it because he has now joined the ranks of the ancient gods and has escaped the towers control? Before I knew it, the Tower of Trials was trying to find out if I should grow to the end, beyond the level of a hound. It is like a kind of quality assurance process. For some reason, I wanted to be so quiet all this time. That way, the tower will be able to determine whether or not I will be in the desired ending. Then you should wee it. And I said with a sneer in my cold eyes. The god of transcendence and death sends a message to the invisible tower. ] And. [So-. ] next moment. Using Divinity < Transcendence > All abilities are out of the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range. All abilities in proportion to the level difference with the opponent. The growth rate of the species increases [109] times. [Because Ill be able to make it so that I cant do such a trivial trick again.] Just like that, I dyed my eyes golden and smiled like a beast. Chapter 346 346. Remegeton (2) Use Divinity < Transcendence > All abilities be out of the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range. The growth rate of all types increases [109] times in proportion to the difference in level. The moment the Divine < Transcendence > ability is activated. In the blink of an eye, the ripples of power surged and moved to the realm of the beyond. The skills, authority, and divine power that had been umted so far became ripples and rippled. And among them, the power of skills was most greatly affected by the rise in growth rate. The mastery of the skill Battle eleration (S+) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Battle eleration (S+) has increased by one level. The mastery of the skill Instantaneous eleration (A+) has increased by 100. % has been reached The level of the skill Instantaneous eleration (A+) increases by one level Even if the mastery of the skill Shock Block (S) reaches 100% The level of the skill Shock Block (S) is one level higher For now, the normal skills have achieved a rapid rise in level. However, the divine < transcendence > power can literally be applied to all kinds of power. If skills are the most affected by the increase in the growth rate of the divine < Transcendence >, then the power skills attributed to the divine < Transcendence > are no different. The mastery of the Power Skill skill Magical Circuit (S-) has reached 100%. The grade of the Power Skill skill Magic Circuit (S-) has risen by one level. ) has reached 100% The level of the power skill Grace of Wind (S) has risen by one step The mastery of the power skill Starlight (S+) Even at 100% The level of the Authority skill Starlight (S+) went up one level The Authority skills grew in the blink of an eye. The mastery of the power skill, Unextinguished Mortal me (S), has reached 100%. Even that was at a considerable level. Growth is definitely fast. Roughly, it can be said that the skills that are directly involved in the attack have all grown up. You cant like it just because of that. The divine < Transcendence > level of growth is determined ording to the opponent. And that means that the bowl of the tower over there, the god of struggle and victory, has be that much stronger. Kwaaaak-. At this point, the power skills can also bepared to concept divinity. Only then did I sp my hands tightly and my eyes glowed coldly. Even if I became an ancient deity, I do not underestimate the power of skills. Even if it was the divinity of the concept, it could be inferior to one skill. The skills that can be used as the main are literallyparable to concept divinity. And there are many other things that can be obtained. Even this is not the only thing that can be obtained with the divinity < Transcendence >. DYou He should be DHow far did you be strong? Before I knew it, I noticed that the power boiling in my body had crossed the limit. The synergy is better than I thought. Shall we say it is one of the effects inherent in the divinity < transcendence >? All of a sudden, the abilities that were blocked by the limit even though they were strengthened by the divine < fighting spirit > crossed the line ofmon sense. His physical ability has reached a level that has been strengthened with the divinity of the concept, and other skills have also exceeded their limits. Even the powers rted to martial arts and ck magic have risen significantly So, he was sure. If this is the case, there is nothing to defeat unless it is the ancient gods of higher ranks. At best, its good enough, but its more than enough to catch an ancient deity. and. The Tower of Trials activates #E-024[Vessel of Power], and all the abilities of the Towers Vessel reach their peak. It was then. Keying-. The moment the clouds that were prevalent in the sky over the battlefield of the gods soon cleared. Suddenly, a sh of light fell from there andnded on one of the battlefields of the gods. And I was able to notice where that ray of light had fallen in an instant. . Nothing else Is it time to start? It was the beginning of a fight with the worst bnce. *** Deed-! In thend beyond the battlefield of the gods, divinity shimmers. And in that divinity I could read what its essence was. Struggles and victories, and even the slightest imitation of death, were read in the divine shimmer. The tower raised the enemys condition to the highest level with exclusive authority. And at the same time, I quickly read what it meant. Its meaningless to have been beaten unterally so far. The Tower of Trials has removed the status ailments of the God of Struggle and Victory. Even that was not enough, so the god of struggle and victory gained the highest level of power. In fact, dozens of attacksparable to the speed of light have been nullified by this I cant take it very warmly. The damage inflicted by the truly devastating attacks, apanied by the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, must havepletely disappeared. I didnt even think of this. At that, I sighed and clicked my tongue. Its the worst. I didnt know that the tower would raise the enemys power so filthyly. Still, if theres anything good about it, is it that this side didnt consume a lot of divine power or magical power? The situation where he just hit the opponent with both hands with blows infinitely close to the speed of light. Because there was only that, the power consumed by this side was not so great, so I was able to quickly hide the shaking of my emotions. and. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. Should I say its because he became too strong with 10,000x reinforcement? Even the exclusive spell < Contempt for the Powerful >, which had stopped being activated after the physical abilities rose in an instant, was activated again. In addition, the divine < fighting spirit > continued to match the level of increase in physical ability, and the physical ability was dramatically raised. At least, this means that the gap between peak states has been reduced. But the time to be engulfed in relief was short-lived. Then lets go right away. next moment. Jijijijijijijijik-!! The folding vortex As it was, I tore through the space and continued my steps beyond it. At the moment, the scene in front of you changes and you can see the figure beyond the torn space. On the other side of the earth, which was destroyed everywhere by blowsparable to the speed of light, there was a human figure. The shadow in the form of a human covered only in ck mud opened its mouth wide, shining white eyes. you. Its nothing else Are you the god of struggle and victory? It was the God of Conflict and Victory, the opponent I had been fighting against. However, there was no trace of the savage warrior anywhere in the figure of the shadow covered in ck mud. The form is only dotted with ck and seems to be oveid. The bust that was engraved on the body was not visible, as if it had crossed countless battlefields so far, and the body that belonged to the giant body was also greatly reduced. To put it mildly, it should be said that it is slightlyrger than the average adult male. Its like my body type Then I noticed a fact and smiled. The Tower of Trials activates #D-421 [Recreate Person Info] to recreate part of the person info in the Tower Bowl. ? The god of struggle, victory, and death ? Its not different I see. It was because the system message I just saw popped up in a corner of my mind before I knew it. Did the Tower of Trials change my body like that? and. The god of struggle, victory, and deathughs out loud at you. [Hahaha! yes that is the correct answer! I got your body! That too from the tower! ] Only then did Inyoung covered in ck mud spread her arms wide to the left and right and let out a bigugh. [It is truly the strongest! ] . [ Han Seong-yoon! Admit it! You you had power superior to me, the supreme warrior! Thats a very, very high level of power! ] I dont really want to hear your impressions. Like a child who got a toy, his emotions were greatly heightened. Can you like that body that you obtained without any effort with the authority of the tower? But I smiled, as if I didnt care about that. Is there no shame in getting someone elses body? At most, it was a body that was only obtained thanks to the authority of the Tower of Trials. Doesnt it even look like it was stered with ck mud like that, as if it hadnt been transnted properly? It would be normal to feel ashamed at the fact that I abandoned the body I had built up so far and epted my body. [ Not at all!! ] However, the shadow-like deity in front of him did not. [Why should I feel ashamed? this is my body! So, there can be no shame to feel! ] said the god of struggle and victory, scattering mud all over his body. [Its a waste for a guy like you to have! So, I should have it! If you have to feel shame, its you! ] ? [Because even with such a monstrous body, he was defeated by me! ] . At this point, the dog-like logic gives me a headache. [You are only real weaker than fake, arent you! ] . [A worthless guy just got a body like this with the power of the tower! And thats why you were abandoned by the tower! I was chosen because I was excellent! ] . [So, what you need to know the numbers for is you, you bastard. ] Hey. and. The divine < word spirit > is used. You can use the divine power to influence the real world with words. However, a great deal of divine power is consumed when the spirit of the world interferes with thew of the world. ? Just shut up. Next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, the divinity < Lord of Words > changed into a tangible wave and attacked the opponent. The power skill Unextinguished mortal me is activated. Not only that. Karruk-. In an instant, a ck me appeared on his right hand, creating a wave-like shimmer. The sound of ck mes resounding softly like the cry of a beast. It then spewed forth like a wild beasts leap. Right-. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! It was an outpouring of mortal sparks that could literally set the world on fire. Even if its a high-ranking deity, its a spirit that cant be properly defended. But the god of struggle and death did not hesitate. The god of struggle, victory, and death uses an unquenchable mortal me. [Thats something I can do too!! ] Kwajijijijijijijikjik! As it was, the god of struggle and victory swung both hands and let out wild ck mes. [Hahaha! Its fun-! ] A form of ck me that follows like a mirror. I knew right away that it was the skill Unextinguished mortal me. It cant match the firepower of the Authority skill, but theposition of the skill itself is the same? In an instant, the amount of ck mes poured out by the god of struggle and victory increases, and their strength and power cancel out and disappear. But I wasnt surprised. That would be the case The Tower of Trials triggers #F-129[Copy Skill List] to simrly inject a specific persons skill list into the Towers Bowl. ? Fight, Victory, and Death Shin acquires some of Challenger Seongyoon Hans skill list simrly. I didnt expect to copy that much. In fact, I was assuming that this was one of the system messages I just saw. [Its useless!! ] Then, the god of struggle and victory erased ck mes with ck mes and spat out a joyful sound. [I can use everything about you! ] The fake, who threw away everything he had umted so far and copied someone elses, continued. [Even if Im fake, if I can use your real power, whats the difference between real and real? ] And. [Now I can surpass you! ] Even that was not enough, the divine starlight arose from the hand of the god of struggle and victory. The god of struggle, victory, and death uses fake starlight. Keying-! The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. ordingly, the moment I shot it out with a starlight in my hand as well. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Starlight divided into white and ck interlocks. Before long, what was pushed back was the white starlight. Originally, this was the power that the Dragon God handled, and even the Tower could not recklessly give it away. Even when it became a power skill, the holy light exceeded its rank, so the white starlight had no choice but to be pushed. The god of struggle, victory, and death uses starlight expansion. But thats for a while. Wow-! The white starlight, which was only a fake, narrows the gap with the effect of the skill Starlight Expansion. And the starlight, which continued to collide with each other, disappeared at the same time. Seeing this, the god of struggle and victory licked his lips in delight. [Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-! look-! Han Seong-yoon! This is your reality! ] And at the same time, I saw the eyes of the opponent in front of me. [ Do you think you know yourself now!? ] There was only the joy of beating others. To the fake in front of you, struggle and victory are just results without a process. No matter what the process is, if you can defeat others and if you can win, thats fine. I think I know how the concept of divinity < victory > is made up. The will to choose only the future that can be won. Therefore, the divine < victory > erases the possibility of victory for the other party, and thus the divine < struggle > only helps to exclude the result, not the process. There was no process of achieving victory there. There are only low-level victories. Thats why I can pretend to be my fake. And the opponent in front of me chose a future where I could win. [If so, tell me. ] I wanted to be real, not fake, by getting my body and my skills from the Tower of Trials. [Actually, something like you] There was a high probability that the God in front of the Tower of Trials would be the best substitute. Does the tower think that a guy like this can rece me? Because I am a deity without any pride who can copy my strength and even my appearance without hesitation. [Hes just a worm with nothing, just borrowing someone elses! ] Then, shouldnt all of them be bent squarely? *** I replied calmly to the words that the god of struggle and victory spat out while showing off his joy. Maybe. [ uh? ] Like you said, I could have received everything from TOP. [ . ] Actually, I would be nothing without the tower, so I cant deny that. Isnt it me who was a weak person who couldnt have be a mere hunter? So, I had no intention of denying it. But that wasnt all. [Thats right! I know you! I guess I was able to figure out the subject myself. ] But that doesnt mean I havent umted anything. [What is that.] So far I have umted a lot. So far, Ive climbed the tower and piled up a lot of things. I had to stock up on powers such as unique attributes, skills, and powers. Of course, there had to be things like the divinity of a concept or a myth built up by oneself. But rather than those, the unique characteristics and the skills umted through them are definitely more important. Skill, Power, Divinity and other things as well. I got a lot from the top. It was something that could only be used with the top system. It can be said that it belongs to someone else, and even though I got it after a lot of hard work, I can say that it is not really mine. [You.] If you ask why the top should be just me without a system, that wouldnt be the answer. [What the hell are you talking about? ] In a nutshell, I meant to match it to your beat. Then I looked into the eyes of the god of struggle and victory and said, Did you say that the reason why TOP threw me out was because there was no reason to be me? tower. It is true that it has made me stronger so far. Thats why I was able toe this far, and I was using the skills of the system itself and the privileges there. Many managers are looking at you anxiously. However, it is not borrowed from others. Many ancient deities are looking forward to your actions. But I didnt get it without any trouble. The Tower of Trials is silently watching you. You fought as if your life was no matter what, and you got many rewards ordingly. The tower is definitely a good ce to grow. And I was acknowledging that. I still had thoughts of using the Tower of Trials to be stronger. Thats why the Tower of Trials would destroy the idea that me had to be excluded. And you said that I was vomited up because the power I got from the system was nothing. Thats very certain. But even so And then. Just because I dont have a system doesnt mean Im nothing, right? The moment when numerous eyes fell on me ordingly. Many ancient deities tremble greatly at your actions! If you want to know what I have umted, I will let you know. [ you!! ] So [What are you doing. ] Shut up and watch. As it was, I converted every bit of mana in my body into demonic energy, and my eyes shed. The god of transcendence and death reveals itself. [Well, I can defeat you with the power I have umted.] The next moment. [The ruin that Andras lost during his lifetime] Before he knew it, the power of ck magic that he had umted as much as possible, starting with the Pandemonium, shone. Its been a while since Ive used this. Andras. One of the 72 demons that existed in the ancient Pandemonium. The moment when the power that only the ancient devil could use was unfolded by ck magic. . The gray square, calling for the destruction of all things, weighed down everything under the sky. Chapter 347 347. Remegeton (3) I never thought I was dependent on the system. After all, arent the abilities of the system obtained in a legitimate way? I never thought that it was not my ability, and it actually became like that while walking on the path of godhood. At least now, the ability of the system is not someone elses. It was worth it. The moment I obtained the < Spirit Attunement >, the myth of transcendence, I was already beyond the discretion of the system. Only by oveying my spirit, the skill and the essence beyond it be mine. Even if its the power of the system or the Tower of Trials beyond, it doesnt matter anymore. At this point, even if Im the top, I wont be able to touch my skills. But Still, I definitely need to show it right now. The tower didnt seem to know that yet. In fact, now I can go anywhere without a tower. Its just that doing so would take a very long time, so the tower is just walking the efficient way. Why the Tower had to choose me and why I was able to be an ancient deity. and. This will be the answer to that. next moment. The exclusive effect magic circuit is activated. The users magic power can be temporarily converted into demonic energy for use. In the blink of an eye, all the magical energy in the body was converted into demonic energy, and the spell was formed. [The destruction that Andras lost during his lifetime] The moment when the power that only urged the destruction of all things was revealed as a spell. . Suddenly, it appeared slowly. It was a grayish square boasting an outrageous size, as if to cover the blue sky. The Power of Destruction, which can shatter just by touching the gray, falls while scattering gray particles. The god of struggle, victory, and death is astonished . and. [How could this be possible] Only then did the ancient deity gather emotions of astonishment and denial in one ce and explode. [Theres no way something like this is possible!! ] As if he was making excuses saying he wasnt wrong. [Mere skill! Mere mortal power! You cant surpass the level of a god! Thats thew of the universe! ] Just like that, the god of struggle and victory sprinkled ck mud all over the ce and spoke as if crying. [A guy like you who dared to be lucky enough to be chosen by TOP!! ] But the words did not carry on to the end. So you keep saying that, so Im proving it, right? Its nothing else Its not divinity, its just technology, you can be taken down. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-! As it was, the gray square came very close to the earth, and the god of struggle and death shouted loudly. [You! ] One, and that for a while. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! [ Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] The gray square suppressed the ancient deity in front of it and released its power. The lost authority of Andras, who only tried to urge the destruction of all things. And the destructive power appropriate to itnded on the ground. Even that, with the divine < fighting spirit > strengthened 10,000 times. Kkwajijijijijik!! In the blink of an eye, a lot of things were broken. For the time being, the body of the ancient deity in front of me broke like pottery, and blood poured out from there. Not even that. Thend of the ce designated as the final area of the Battlefield of the Gods cracked apart and caused a copse. The earth, which had withstood the sub-light-speed attack that would have destroyed hundreds ofs casually, is shattered. What that meant was this. so. Nothing else Do you still think I am nothing without the system? It means that my skills have reached a levelparable to the divine power. A number of ancient deities are very interested in and admire your skills! A number of ancient deities are very interested in and admire your skills! A number of ancient deities are very interested in your skills. Showing interest! Thats a level where a lot of ancient deities would visibly show their emotions. But even so, the feelings did not waver. After all, I knew that technology that was infinitely close to the end could rival divinity. So, I didnt feel much of a sense of fulfillment. He would be like that too If it wasnt ck magic and martial arts, I wouldnt even have to reinforce it 10,000 times. Isnt it possible to obtain the divinity of a concept anyway after training? Even Mu Gong was able to exploit divinity openly and open up to the realm of mind sword. In fact, it wasnt that martial arts or ck magic couldnt surpass divinity. It is inefficient than just polishing the power of the divine, and if you see the end of them, you will gain the divine, so you will be alienated. DWhat is this again And the proof was right in front of me. DTo think that a mere ck magic-like technique could destroy a divinity that touched the conceptual realm Even if it was an ancient deity, it overwhelms the ancient deity with only the effect of the technique. DThis is but it was only for a moment. [ I! Do you think you will lose to a power that is not divine!! ] Before I knew it, the god of struggle and victory, bent down as if supporting a rock, let out a loud voice. [ I am! I am a warrior chosen by the tower! An undefeated winner, too! Not like hounds like you! ] And. Divine < Adaptation > is activated, and immunity to the pseudo-demon power Destruction is created. The next moment. [This is the divine power received from the great tower that an abandoned hound like you doesnt know! ] Wow-! Only then did the gray square stop falling, stopping the spread of destruction. This is And I smiled at him. Now you have used the divinity you received from the tower. I knew roughly what the divinity written by the ancient deity in front of me was. The Tower of Trials activates #B-091 [Forced Divine Injection], forcing the Towers Bowl to acquire divinity. ? The god of struggle, victory, and death ? acquires divine < Adaptation >. Perhaps its one of the benefits that the Tower of Trials gave out as a bnce patch The Divinity < Victory > is activated, eliminating one possibility that leads to defeat. The moment when immunity to the gray square was created by the divine < Adaptation >. Just as it was, the divine < victory > erased the ck magic at once. Its also very neat. I didnt know that the divinity the tower gave me would be this much. Then, I calmed my eyes coldly and activated the ck magic again. [The Ruin that Andras lost during his lifetime] !! The moment when a gray square appeared in the blink of an eye. The Divine < Victory > is activated and one possibility of leading to defeat is eliminated. [That doesnt work anymore! ] Chijik-. In an instant, the gray square was erased with the divine < Victory >. The god of struggle and victory breathed heavily and trembled andughed. As if he was certain of victory. It wasnt really that different. [ Ha ha ha ha ha! see bo! this! This is my power! TOP chose me! ] It wouldnt be the relief of barely surviving, it would be the pleasure that boiled from the bottom of your heart. [So in a word] But the ancient deity showed his joy by letting out a maddeningugh. The god of struggle and victory and death uses fake starlight. The god of struggle and victory and death uses starlight expansion. Keying! [ now! like you! Thats not my opponent! ] In an instant, white starlight expands and shoots out. And ordingly, I also emitted ck starlight, and then the starlight achieved the same extinction. However, the god of struggle and victory did not stop there. The ancient godhead in front of him used all the skills he received from the tower. Its as if hes going to deny me very thoroughly. The struggle, victory and porridge ? It uses speeches that do not turn off. The ck mes of mortal doom collide and explode. The god of struggle, victory, and death uses the Seeker of Fresh Blood. The skill Seeker of Fresh Blood is activated. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Bloody des poured down as if they would cut all over thend, cutting each others shes. To put it bluntly, it was not an enemy, but rather a kind of mirror and a skill. Skills with almost the sameposition poured out like twins and pushed each others strength. It was simr to dealing with a replica that imitated me while climbing the Tower of Trials, but this time the quality was significantly worse than that. Seeing someone else use the power Ive gained makes me feel bad. It was worth it. The opponent in front of me is not like my replica, but in fact, it will be no different from other people. However, unlike the Replica that originated from me in essence, it could be said that the appearance of taking out only the skills I had was truly vicious. [ Kwuck! ] Only then did the god of struggle and victory smile as if he was very pleased with the appearance. [ okay! This is the right thing to do! like you! You shouldnt have been able to be my opponent! ] And that, too, in a tone close to mockery. [Your clumsy figure is your real figure minus the power of the tower! ] The moment when the god of struggle and victory, covered in ck mud, was ready to strike. [There will be no other technologyparable to that divinity] Before he knew it, ck tentacles grew all over his body covered in ck mud and became spearheads. The god of struggle, victory and death uses target slowdown. The god of struggle, victory and death uses abyss bloodline. The god of struggle, victory and death uses Pacheon. Like a sh of light, the spear des of the ck tentacles shot out . [In the end, since youre a bug kid like you, youre going to die with not-so-like pride!! ] But its only a sh of speed at best. In fact, it is close to a hypersonic stab. So I couldnt evenpare. Thats also the case The exclusive effect of the Power skill skill, Spirit Source Demon Sword, Double is activated . Without exaggeration, he could literally draw a sword strike at the speed of light. Baekgeomseomhae(ׄW). It was a swordsmanship equivalent to one second of the seven types of white swords. The moment when a sword attack made of martial arts flew without anything else. In an instant, the entire space was cut, and the god of struggle and victory was split into particles and flew away beyond. !! Its also very neat. In the blink of an eye, the concept of sound flickered and the opponents model hit the ground, causing a fierce heat wave. no. At this point, it cant even be called a heat wave covering the sky. It was like a bombardment that could wipe out not only the sky but also the world and beyond at once. And only after the expansive explosion of power had faded, I said as if I was dumbfounded. What are you talking about? Before I knew it, I was looking at the system message that appeared in front of me. Shinhwas < Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < Nemesis >. It has power. Those who do not have will cannot resist your divine power. From now on, the effect of < Chaos > will be added to Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation. < Chaos > is activated. When it does, it extracts the enemys negative emotions into faith. The bigger the enemys negative emotions, the higher the efficiency of faith extraction. Its nothing else Since < Chaos > is active, I extract the enemys negative emotions as faith. As the enemys negative emotions grow, the efficiency of faith extraction also increases. I just thought of efficiently taking away everything I had. Chapter 348 348. Remegeton (4) In fact, it was impossible to block a blow that could be considered the speed of light itself. Even if it was an opponent who had half reached the level of an ancient deity, it would be no different. It should be possible only if you use the concept of divinity to recognize the attack, which is the speed of light itself, and respond appropriately to it. Its just a blow that cant be evaded. But thats just a theory anyway. Without divinity, a terrible level of conceptual divinity, such as ovepping divinity < fighting spirit >, the attack cannot be recognized. Its not like that, but the ancient deity didnt have the ability to do that. Even though I imitated my body by bing a vessel of the tower. And what that meant was that it was so simple. In the first ce, you are not my opponent. Chak-. As it was, I calmly closed my eyes and said so. Even though he has at least be an ancient god, he has reached a higher rank than a higher god. If that was the case, it was certain that he would still be alive even if he was hit directly by the light-speed sword and was driven to the brink of death. I can feel it. In fact, that thought was no different from reality. I could still feel the faint trembling of the earth beyond. The fatal wound inflicted by the speed of light sword disappeared without a trace, and the extra life was activated. The god of struggle, victory, and death uses the final resistance. And I already knew what it was. I guessed, but he also had that too. A skill that can erase fatal wounds received during battle, even if only once. Of course, there is a downside of having a cooldown of a week, but it doesnt mean much. Since the final resistance has been activated, theres no point in feeding the sword. It is one of the skills that can destroy the bnce of battle. If the final resistance is invoked, the shock engraved on the body will disappear as if time is turning back in that moment. A blow with the opponents full strength is returned to nothing, and the number of victories by one stroke of Geongon fades and disappears. And it could be a bit stronger than before. Not even that. The wounds engraved on his body disappeared, and corrections for all senses and all skills must have been added. Thinking about it, it must have been a situation where I should have felt quite ufortable, but I didnt think much of it. Even if I did, it wouldnt make any sense. It was worth it. In fact, the blow just now is close to a normal blow. The speed of light swordsmanship itself is an overpowering force. Its just that his powers have been multiplied because he used martial arts. The direction of the match has already been decided. If I wanted to, I could end it right away. The ancient deity in front of me could not be conceptualized. That meant that the ancient deity could not exploit immortality. Its just me, but if I want to get rid of that fake thing, I might be able to get rid of it. If it went on like this anyway, I had no choice but to win. And he already knew what he would get as a result. The reward of the trials and the final growth of necromancyparable to it will be achieved. And the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence > will help achieve a more stable level in the realm of ancient deity. But its still not enough. But even so, I felt it wascking. The thirst that seemed to burn his throat was still everywhere. It was a desire for growth to pioneer not only the fixed result but the reward beyond that. There are still things to be gained. I had no intention of rejecting it. The driving force that has made me stronger so far has been the desire for endless growth. And Ive already decided what to get against the ancient deity here. mythology. Even if it had ceased to exist, an ancient deity would still be an ancient deity. If you have enough faith, you cane up with a suitable story here. If so, it was possible to obtain a usable myth based on faith and tales. Then, I quickly stepped forward and spoke to the opponent who was lying on the ground beyond. Until now, you have been told that you were chosen by the top, but you are not at the level of recing me. As if there was no inspiration whatsoever. Wouldnt you have been defeated even if you fought with pure technology like this without a system? That way you can stimte the other persons emotions and make them angry. Still, its fun talking about him as an invincible warrior. Its nothing else Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of the < Nemesis >. When the < Nemesis > is activated, your holy power It greatly interferes with the power of all beings. Beings without will cannot resist your holy power. When < Chaos > is activated, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. Myth < Enemy of Everything > is activated and faith is extracted. was doing The faith that was consumed by the holy relic rose up inside again. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldnt think of a more efficient supply and demand of faith than this. Whoever it is, if there is a mythological < nemesis of all things >, cant faith be squeezed out even if it is an ancient deity? Its a huge benefit. Since the ancient deity is the center of faith, the level of faith that can be obtained is bound to be different. DNow, this madman openly squeezes out the marrow of his opponent Dam Chun-wu said that as if he was slightly fed up with it, but he had no time to reply. Thats probably the case too The god of struggle, victory, and death uses gray fresh blood. ] It happened in the blink of an eye, but the ancient deity came screaming like that. At this point, I wonder if I should be discouraged but the ancient deity right in front of me didnt seem to be like that. [ dare! How dare you! mocking you? me? A kid who hasnt even lived for hundreds of years!! ] Could it be that you listened to everything I said? Really, its so simple and straight-forward. More than originally assumed, the god of struggle and victory is furious. And that, too, to a very significant degree. Its not even a trick to pretend that emotions are shaken by anger. That should be the case too Since < Chaos > is active, extract the enemys negative emotions as faith. As the enemys negative emotions grow, the efficiency of faith extraction also increases. I never thought I could gain the faith of an ancient deity in this way. It was because in an instant, the faith derived from the status of an ancient deity was built up in his body. In terms of the quality of his faith, he had already filled up all the faith consumed by the holy relic. And while I was extracting that high faith, I was able to read what the ancient deity in front of me was thinking. [I am the undefeated warrior and the unchanging god of victory! ] Its nothing else [So Ill show it to you! ] Still the god of struggle and victory was dreaming in vain. Divine < Adaptation > is activated, greatly adapting the resistance to physical damage. [That ridiculous nonsense wont work anymore! ] . The Divine < Adaptation > bestowed by the Tower of Trials was covering the opponents body. It was acquired physical resistance that could withstand even a blow that had reached the level of the speed of light itself . If so, there is no use whatsoever. Its fun. and. Then do everything you can. next moment. Because I will have no choice but to win anyway. As it was, the god of struggle and victory let out a great divine roar and shot out power. [ Bastard!! ] But that is not his strength. The god of struggle, victory, and death uses fake starlight. The god of struggle, victory, and death uses a seeker of fresh blood The god of struggle, victory, and death never goes out. Buy a mortal me Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Only the skills I acquired while climbing the tower became a disaster and ran amok. A feast of skills fired as if facing each other like a mirror. And thats not all. Divinity < Adaptation > is activated, and the skill efficiency of Seeker of Blood increases by 10%. Divinity < Adaptation > is activated, and the skill efficiency of Fake Starlight is increased by 10%. Divinity < Adaptation > is activated It was activated and the skill efficiency of Starlight Expansion increased by 10% The Tower of Trials gave a bnce patch and the divinity < Adaptation > endlessly increased the opponents strength. The skill level increased over time. However, the ancient deity in front of him gradually hardened his face as time passed. He would too [You] Time passed and his skills were disappearing faster than before. [ you! What have you done! Why are my skills weakened! There must have been no divine intervention! ] That too, very definitely. Havent you realized yet? And seeing the god of struggle and victory feeling confused by it, I smiled. Your skills havent weakened over time. Its nothing else Divinity < Transcendence > is used. All abilities are out of the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go outside the set range. All types of growth rates have increased [72] times in proportion to the level difference with the opponent. It just made me stronger. Over time, my authority skills have grown. Of course, the skill level did not change. But even so, the strength of her skills and the quality of her magical powers have definitely risen. Even if you increase the efficiency of various skills by 10% with only divine < Adaptation >, it cannot bepared to me. [What is that] And the god of struggle and victory who realized that fact said in awe. [Theres no way something like that is possible. ] However. Its not impossible, its simply that you cant. I didnt have to listen to it. The amount of faith gained per hour from Shinhwa < Enemy of Everything > increased considerably. Even in the midst of epting the sh of skills, isnt it a state of faith that has umted quite a bit. Shall we finish by eating the most delicious part? So [Oh donte! I am! I cant lose yet-. ] At this point, the intake of faith shoulde to an end. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to move to the desired point within sight immediately. In the blink of an eye, I closed the distance with Shunbos authority and pierced the opponents heart with my hand. [ Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] And the heart was like a repository of divine power to those who couldnt conceptualize it soon. Its checkmate. All of the divinity in the body is concentrated in the heart. In fact, the fight is over when the heart is captured. Just like this, if I burst my heart, the ancient deity in front of me will die. I was a little worried. Then he slowly opened his mouth. What should I do to grow you most efficiently and the tower will no longer be able to manipte me? Ive been thinking about it to some extent. What should I do to get a myth based on faith and tales? At the end of the trouble, I was able toe up with the correct answer about it in my own way. As it was, I continued talking as I looked at the ancient deity coughing up blood and screaming. What is the most efficient way to kill you? and. And this is the answer I came up with. next moment. The divine < harvest > is activated and the skills are extracted from the [god of struggle, victory and death]. [ !!! ] As it was, I looked at the ancient deity and smiled fiercely. Divine < Harvest > is activated to extract magic circuits from the [God of Struggle, Victory and Death]. Extraction The divinity < harvest > is activated and draws fake starlight from the [god of struggle, victory, and death?] It was simple. Right away Isnt it just a matter of keeping what the tower gave you and not leaving it behind? It is to absorb all the skills given by the Tower of Trials so that it can no longer act as a fake. The god of transcendence and death deres everything, including the Tower of Trials. [I am me. ] Only then did I speak, clearly revealing the status of divinity. [I dont be anyones substitute. ] And. [So] The moment I spoke to him with a smile. [Dont do more tricks like this. ] It was then. [Because no one will be able to imitate me now.] I felt the faith built up inside me move as system messages appeared before my eyes. Newly gathered tales have umted in sufficient quantities to generate a myth. Calction of a myth based on actual results and Shinto beliefs. And was that a trigger? The level of the tales is too high. Faith and the power of the tales that can bepared to it result in a myth. Considering the level of the transcendent tale, a myth appropriate to the rank is created. The divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the myth to obtain the original myth. The transcendent myth < Absolute Unchanging > has beenpleted. .. .That too in the form of power that never changes. Chapter 349 349. Remegeton (5) A system message appears before my eyes, and the lofty level of faith stored in my body takes shape. Considering the level of the transcendent tale, a myth appropriate to the rank is created. Divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the myth to obtain the original myth. The transcendent myth < Absolute Unchanging > has beenpleted. Did you get the Transcendence myth? And I opened my eyes wide in amazement. Even if it did not happen, it could be said that the faith umted in the body originated from the status of an ancient deity. It was assumed that the faith gained through Shinhwa < The Enemy of Everything > would construct an unusual form of mythology. Still, I thought Id be able to get a myth of a certain level But I didnt know that it would lead to the acquisition of transcendental myths. Does it go this far? It was worth it. Truly, the transcendence myth is the original myth obtained by applying the divinity < Transcendence >. Even if the level of faith stored in the myth < The Natural Enemy of Everything > is extraordinary, it will be useless if there is no power of storytelling suitable for it. But its not something I cant understand at all. Still, if you think about it, the conditions were met. The towers tricks, and because of that, I had to face more opponents than I expected. The tales obtained in this way responded to faith and resulted in a transcendent myth. The Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > has beenpleted. The Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > umtes in divine power. From now on, Challenger Han Seong-yoons actions will have the divine effect of < Change Negation >. External You can deny all negative changes to you that are realized through the interference. From now on , challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the < one and only > divinity effect. I cant. And in a form I could never have imagined. Is it the transcendental myth of < absolute immutability >? but for a while. Im curious to some extent, but As it was, I averted my gaze as I realized the myth that had risen inside me. Is there still work left to do? Its nothing else ] You really do have a lot. Because I had to get everything that the ancient deity possessed in front of me. Divine < Harvest > is activated, extracting instantaneous eleration from [God of Struggle, Victory and Death] . Extraction The divinity < harvest > is activated, and the [god of struggle, victory and death] focuses on battle The numerous skills I have acquired while climbing the tower so far are extracted and absorbed. . Originally, I was certain that I would not have been able to do this. But at least not now. All the skills the tower gave me are concentrated in my heart. Is it because the ancient deity right in front of you has be a towers bowl? For some reason, the god of struggle and victory, unlike general skills, kept his skills in the form of superpowers in his heart. I dont know if it was because I couldnt benefit from the system. Still, one thing was certain. Thats right The skill Instantaneous eleration (SS-) is created by satisfying special conditions. The skill Focus on Combat (SS) is created by satisfying special conditions Skill Starlight Expansion (S) is born by satisfying special conditions That I can strengthen my skills with the things I have of the god of struggle and victory in front of me. This is Thats very clear. Its amazing. Skills were extracted and a union was made between them. In the blink of an eye, his skills reached a high level. At least he reached a level that would have barely been surpassed only after he had fought close to hundreds of battles. It was only by obtaining the power I should have with the divine < harvest >. [ !! ] And each time the god of struggle and victory screamed in agony. The spirit and divinity that reached the level of an ancient godhead roared wildly as if in sympathy with him, but it was not very meaningful. Strictly speaking, the god of struggle and victory right in front of you isnt really an ancient god. Since they have not yet reached the level of the concept itself, they only feel annoyance or annoyance in their struggle. But at this point, I can see the bottom. But that was for a while. The divinity < Harvest > has extracted all the skills from the [god of struggle, victory and death]. Before I knew it, I realized that I had extracted all the skills stored in his heart. Its also very neat. So [Ah ah ah ah! My my strength! You! Son of a bitch! Put it back right away! ] Now, isnt it time to reap the beauty of the species? Crackle-! [ Kuck-! ] Just like that, I twisted and broke the heart of the god of struggle and victory. As soon as the heart with the concentration of divinity exploded, the ancient deity let out a soundless scream. As if he had intuited that divinity would dissipate and his death woulde. Actually, nothing was too different. Absorbed the spirit of Yakharu Kadmo, the god of struggle, victory, and death. Challenger Seongyoon Han won against a quasi-ancient deity and became 17% closer to [Transcendence]. Suss-. In an instant, the spirit of the ancient godhead flows out and is absorbed by me. The myth < Possibility of Transcendence > allows you to enter a high ce in return for killing an enemy infinitely close to the ancient god. Divinity shakes and affirms the continuation of the concept entirely, and the spirit takes its ce as the foundation of immortality ordingly. It is the stability of conception. ah. And only then did I realize. A number of ancient deities congratte you for bing a perfect ancient deity. Its nothing else You achieved the achievement Ancient Deity. All stats increase by 100. It has reached the level of an ancient deity. But it doesnt end there. The ck mist that appeared in front of my eyes took its ce as if it had permeated my body. And Satisfying growth conditions. The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy increases by 96.7%. Finally The mastery of the unique characteristic Necromancy has reached 100%. The level of the unique characteristic Necromancy has risen by one level. The unique characteristic, which is the origin of growth, has entered a state beyond the limit line. *** Kiririk. The feeling of meshing an old cogwheel. The growth level of the unique characteristic Necromancy has exceeded the system tolerance. And at the same time, many changes urred in the inner world. All effects of the unique attribute Necromancy belong to Han Seong-yoons soul. In the blink of an eye, necromancy crossed the boundary of the system and flowed into me. It was different from what was obtained by eroding the power of the tower with the transcendental myth < Spirit Tuning >. The feeling that the power that should have been there originally returned to its ce, albeit btedly. As if it had to be this way from the beginning. The Tower of Trials thoroughly eliminates the risk factors that are not permitted! But doesnt the Tower think so? The Tower of Trials activates the exclusive authority #A-002[Error Correction] to correct the system. Before I knew it, the Tower activated the exclusive authority and tried to get rid of what I had. you. However Divine < Words > are used. By consuming divine power, you can influence the real world with words. However, a lot of divine power is consumed when you use words that interfere with thews of the world. I would have told you not to interfere. The moment I shot at him with a cold look in my eyes. Chick-gigg! The authority of the tower, which poured down like lightning, suddenly stopped. But is it just a temporary stop? It was only for a while that the divine < Emperor > blocked the power of the tower. The Tower of Trials activates exclusive authority #A-085 [Concept Divine Exclusion], and the Divine < Sword Spirit > is excluded. The next moment. Kkwajijijijijijik-! As it was, the authority of the tower pressed down all over the body and coveted power. Even if he was a high-ranking deity, he would have to give some strength to this tant greed. However, nothing has changed over time. That should be the case The transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > is activated. From now on, the action of challenger Han Seong-yoon will be given the divinity effect of < Alteration Negation >. You can deny negative changes. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < The One and Only >. External phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission. Transcendence Myth < Absolutely It''s because I don''t want my strength to be shaken by outside interference. Quagga-. And just like that, I cleared the tower''s interference and said. Didnt I tell you? And in a very calm tone. I am not something that can be made up for by inferior substitutes. Of course, there is no such thing as an answer here. But it didn''t matter too much. Because... "So..." This isn''t something I''m asking for an answer anyway. "You''ll have to end this stupid trick with this one, Top." This is just looking at the tower and warning. There is no need for trivialmunication between each other. I''m trying to make sure that the Tower of Trials can''t do any more tweaks. "If youe out like thister, I won''t be able to treat you very well." In fact, it was. "..." "The Tower of Trials is silent." "The Tower of Trials has activated exclusive authority #C-105 [Forced Clear of Trials]. " I did what I had to do. Congrattions, you have broken through the 26th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, ''Brilliant Divine Essence (SSS+)'' will be transferred to your inventory. You have acquired ''1500000 points'' as a breakthrough reward. As a breakthrough reward, You have acquired ''100000 SP''. The ''Final Oath (S+)'' will be sent to your inventory as an additional breakthrough reward. You will be forcibly moved to the waiting room. The battlefield of the gods has nowe to an end. ''Am I forced to go back to the waiting room with no choice now?'' The tower must have known that there was no substitute for me anymore, and I had to know that I didn''t have much time to climb the tower anymore. ''Really...'' We''ve nevermunicated a word with each other in the propernguage. We have nevermunicated a single word with each other in propernguage. And even now it hasn''t been any different. This time, it was because they unterally poured their strength into each other. ''It''s fun.'' However, even withoutmunication, there was something that could be exchanged. I can no longer see the tower as my ally. I knew that for sure this time. ''Come to think of it, did you say it was Lemegeton when you saw that magic book?'' It was then that I felt a memory sh through my mind. Yes, to call it by its formal name, this is Remegeton. It is a kind of authority to read the records of all demonic beings, and it is a book that allows you to directly see the memories you have. From the beginning of the tower to the origins beyond it, you can experience it all with your own body. These were the words that the demon, one of the ancient deities, handed over the ck book. I still haven''t forgotten that I can see the origin of the pagoda with my own two eyes. I was just waiting for the timing to use Remegeton. However, now that the level of ancient godhood has been stabilized, can it not be called the right time? ''Can you read the beginning of the tower as well as the origin of the tower beyond it...'' And then I knew where to use Remegeton. ''It''s something I can''t help but look forward to.'' He would be like that too... ''If I can get rid of the Tower of Trials, can I use Necromancy on the Tower?'' This is one of the keys to breaking the tower. Chapter 350 350. White crane inspection (1) Lemegeton. In fact, a magic book that is like a holy relic of a demon. Thinking over the meaning of that, I opened my eyes. If I can read the origins rted to the tower, it wont be impossible to destroy it at all. It was worth it. Until now, the Tower of Trials had only been seen as a transcendent structure that could not be matched. However, as time passed and each time the outline of the tower was established, such perceptions had to change. However, if even an ancient deity could be eliminated, it would be a transcendental being. The story will be different only if there is a transcendental being who surpasses everything who can eliminate the existence that is the very concept of an ancient deity. Thats why the tower was created by fusing the ancient deities. At that time, the demon god said that the tower was the result of the fusion of ancient deities. I still remembered. The words he heard in the Demon World through the Tower of Trials did not leave his mind. He exined the origin of the tower, saying that the story would be different only if there was an omnipotent transcendental person who could eliminate even the ancient gods. If the Tower of Trials is close to the concept of a real divinity, then its not invincible. Then, if you can see the true nature of the tower, wouldnt it be possible to get rid of it? If I learn more facts about the tower, theres no reason for the tower to feel ufortable anymore. However, that was for a while. The moment the scene in front of my eyes started to fluctuate. Before I knew it, I had no choice but to get out of the wave of thoughts. I think Ill have to think about this a bit moreter. This is because system messages appear in front of you and the space has changed. Congrattions, you have broken through the 26th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, Brilliant Divine Essence (SSS+) will be sent to your inventory. You have acquired 1500000 points as a breakthrough reward. You acquired 100000 SP as a breakthrough reward. As an additional breakthrough reward, Final Oath (S+) will be sent to your inventory. You will be forcibly moved to the waiting room. as soon as. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated. The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward]. The 26th floor breakthrough reward Brilliant Divine Essence (SSS+) has been strengthened to Brilliant Traces of Concept (SSS+). The additional breakthrough reward on the 26th floor, Final Oath (S+) has been strengthened to Final Oath (SS+). As always, the ordeal was over and he returned to the waiting room. Chak-. A stone chamber where only silence lingers. However, even though I came to the ce where I had to return after the ordeal, I did not feel so excited. That would be the case, because in the first ce, I had no intention of returning right here as soon as the ordeal was over. There was something to be gained by collecting and acquiring the Goddess Apostles or Godhead followers who would remain on the battlefield of the gods. Does that mean you wont let me do what I want now? But wasnt he banished from the battlefield of the gods by the tower? Even if he wanted to return to the battlefield of the gods, he could not go there unless the tower permitted him. In fact, if you look at it closely, it would be like the Holy Land created by the Tower of Trials. In response, I calmed down my breathing, then opened my eyes wide and gripped the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. Theres no need to get excited. But that doesnt mean the emotions didnt boil over. It just became clear that the tower wasnt like my ally. To put it bluntly, there wasnt much of a loss just because I ended up in the waiting room. If so, I got everything I needed to get. It was worth it. I got a lot of various conceptual divinities and other holy relics in the Battlefield of the Gods. There is no reason to be excited because it has reached the stage of a fully matured ancient deity based on the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. And by chance, there was an unexpected harvest. Not even that. Transcendence Shinhwa < Absolute Unchanging > And I got a lot of strength from it. It could only be said that the skills umted in the heart of an ancient deity were like that. Most of the skills achieved a high grade. The same was true of the skills that had grown infinitely slower while climbing the tower. Skills such as the skill Last Resistance or the skill Steel Feed, which were slow to increase in proficiency, have also grown. Its definitely a benefit that my skills have grown. And thats not all. The skill Fake Starlight is activated. Keying. I hope I can get this too. I smiled at the white starlight that appeared in front of me. In fact, the skill Fake Starlight is a power that can be said to be a minor version of Sung Gwang. Its just that the tower couldnt reproduce the starlight like the power of the Dragon God, so it was just fake starlight and reproduced like this. Its fun. Not even that. However, there are more fake skills that the ancient deity received from the tower. The skills that no one could learn anymore because they were acquired through skill synthesis were recreated, albeit in false form, by the Tower. But it didnt mean much. Anyway,pared to the power skill, it was ugly, and no matter what, fake skills were just fake skills. I dont think I need to use it. Somehow, I also got a fake skill, but I didnt need to use it. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering (B) is activated. I received a total of 6 skills from myself. It converts the corresponding abilities into divine power and umtes it in the body. Still, to what extent is it because of the high level of the skill? Its not useless at all. The divine power within the body increased considerably. Of course, its weak due to the ridiculous increase in divine power on the battlefield of the gods Still, at this point, it could be said that it had absorbed the divine power of themand of the higher godhead. I think this is enough for what I got separately. And feeling satisfied with that, I soon turned my gaze to another ce. What I got while passing through the battlefield of the gods was fully confirmed. If so, wouldnt it be the time to check the rewards beyond that? That too is very certain. Traces of a Brilliant Concept Rating: SSS+ The result of the traces of the brilliant divinity being concentrated and transformed into a single conceptual material. When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect Trace of Concept can be activated. Allows one of the divinities to be used even if there is a cooldown, cannot be duplicated, or if the conditions for use are not satisfied. The moment he took out the jewel made of pure white light beyond the inventory. As it was, I had no choice but to narrow my eyes while looking at the divine jewel. That would be too I wonder if the grade didnt go up even though I used the reward increase? I dont know why, but its because the item grade didnt go up even though I used the authority to increase the reward. I never thought it would be the same grade after using the reward increase But its not without guesswork. I guess you cant get EX-level items with tricks like this. In fact, if thepensation increase was applied to SSS+ level items, EX level items would have to be obtained. And in the Tower of Trials, being an EX-ss item is literally the final stage itself. Then it was possible to understand. Still, it doesnt mean that thepensation increase wasnt applied at all. Still, there was an ie. Even though the increase inpensation was slight, it was applied. It was originally called Brilliant Divine Essence (SSS+), but now it has be Brilliant Trace of Concept (SSS+). It is not known what changes have urred along the way. But one thing was certain. Not different Is it possible to stack the divine < fighting spirit > again? In fact, the effect of the Bright Concept Trace (SSS+) was optimized for me. Is it a way to remove restrictions such as the cooldown of divinity, usage conditions, or non-duplication? It was worth it. The exclusive effect of Signs of Brilliant Concepts (SSS+) can remove various restrictions attached to divinity. And it was able to remove the non-ovepping restriction on the divine < fighting spirit >. In a word, it meant that he could recreate the power of the time when he could chew and eat at least one ancient deity. Its amazing. Not even that. Being able to circumvent most of the restrictions on the activation of divine powers is highly versatile. Its because it allows you to activate it even if you cant use whatever divinity it is. If I had more divinities with activation restrictions, I might have been worried. But that didnt really matter. Except for the fact that I could use the divine < fighting spirit > again, I couldnt remember how to use it. And while the ovep of divine < fighting spirit > was low, wasnt it enough to deal with the ancient deity as if ying with it? Then you dont have to worry about where else to use it. DAt this point, beyond the absurdity, all I can do isugh In fact, Dam Chun-wu seemed to think the same thing. DDObtaining another thing that can stack the divine < fighting spirit >. The de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled andughter was heard, followed by Damcheonwus voice. DIf I could get another holy relic that could activate the divine < fighting spirit > in stacks An ancient deity can be matched with just one physical ability. C Its horrifying even to imagine Is that so. And I smiled at him. But even so, it will not be like what Dam Chun-wu said. After all, the conditions for the ovepping activation of divine < fighting spirit > are too strict. Its not a good idea to obsess over ovepping divinity < fighting spirit >. There are so many variables that my mouth hurts if I had to ask. And considering the cost required to activate the stacking of divine < fighting spirit >, it wasnt very pleasant. This is all the more true when you consider the items that will be the relics vessel and the consumption of countless faith and holy power. It doesnt matter how strong thest move is, but it cant consume everything in thest move. At this point, onest move is enough for now. And while thinking so, I saw another reward. The Last Oath Rating: SS+ The essence of an oath ability created by one of the sword masters of a certain world that has been destroyed. When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect Last Oath can be activated. By cing restrictions on themselves, the user can obtain physical abilities proportional to the restrictions. Any number of restrictions ced on oneself can be canceled immediately ording to the users will. An item that looks like some kind of old gray scroll. Is it possible to achieve a temporary or permanent improvement in physical abilities? It didnt make a lot of sense, but it had some value. I think I can use thister. At this point, it can be said that the inspection of the rewards obtained from the ordeal is over. Then lets go to the next one. therefore. You have absorbed the spirit of Yakharu Kadomo, the god of struggle, victory, and death, and have satisfied the special conditions. You can learn one of the divinities possessed by themander of Yakharu Kadomo, the god of struggle, victory, and death. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Fight > < Victory > < Giant > < Death? > < Adaptation >. At this time, the potential divinity that was not selected will not appear as an optionter. Now its time to get something beyond that. Its not even worth thinking about choosing. However, the selection time was not very long. Selectionplete. Divinity < Victory > is reced with potential. Because this would be the best of the options anyway. Possibility of leading to defeat. Isnt it a simple meaning to be able to get rid of it? It means that I will choose only the future that I can win. Its a divinity thats like a symbol of victory that will win no matter what. So it didnt take much time to choose a divinity itself. I dont need to think deeply about choosing a divinity. but for a while. The moment you see one of the things you need to check next. As it was, I had no choice but to frown and stare at the system message that appeared in front of me. It was worth it. Unique Attribute C Necromancy (SS) Detailed effect (11) C . Effect can be selected. Detailed effect (12) C . Effect can be selected. Detailed effect (13) C . Effect can be selected. A disparate system message that appeared in front of my eyes was informing me. ? Not different What is this again A cataclysm urred in the power of necromancy beyond the system message. You say I can choose the detailed effect of the unique property? Thats very certain. Chapter 351 351. White crane inspection (2) System messages appear in front of you, filling your field of vision. Unique Attribute C Necromancy (SS) Detailed Effect (11) C . Effects can be selected. Detailed effects (12) C . Effects can be selected. Detailed effects (13) C . You can select the effect. And at the same time, my whole body stiffened and my thoughts stopped. What is this again It was justified. The effect can be selected. The system message that had filled my sight before I knew it was out of sight. The original characteristic is that S-ss is the limit of growth and the final stage. It wasnt that different even before the Tower appeared on Earth, so I didnt even think of the realm beyond it. Ive never heard of an effect selection function for the growth of unique characteristics. No. Even if it was a state beyond that, I thought it would be no different. The unique characteristics had to add detailed effects whenever the grade went up, so I had to continue growing based on the unique characteristics. And I thought that it would not be different even if I said that I had exceeded the limit of growth. I just thought that since the level of Necromancy had exceeded the upper limit, I would be able to see a tremendous effect. That would be the case Anyway, the growth of necromancy will have to follow the mechanism of its own characteristics, even if it can intervene in the realm of divinity. Does this make sense? But thatmon sense has now been broken. Climbing the tower, I had to watch the growth of necromancy. Necromancy made me greatly stronger every time I grew up, but nothing more. Even if it is something that can establish the realm of godhood, it does not go beyond the boundaries of its own characteristics. Its heterogeneous. But not anymore. I can feel it. The system message in front of me wasnt just relying on the tower. The growth level of the unique attribute Necromancy has exceeded the system tolerance. Necromancy has long since exceeded the upper limit set by the system. All effects of the unique attribute Necromancy belong to Han Seong-yoons soul. What it meant was this. Only I can possess the power of necromancy. And the necromancy I had became something beyond the system. Should I consider this as a unique trait now? At this point, even if you try not to know, you cant know. Actually, this is my power outside the system. This is now beyond the scope of unique properties. Because the power of necromancy reached outside the system. To the extent that it could be said to be another ability, such as an authority skill or conceptual divinity. Perhaps thats why it doesnt follow the growth method of its unique characteristics. Of course, if there is the transcendental myth < Spirit Tuning > or the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >, then the system doesnt matter But isnt that a bad change? Even so, the growth of necromancy should be willing. Anyway, its not the tower of trials, its only my own strength. And the way of growth outside the system was also interesting in its own way. I still only see a ck box, but if I make a choice, how will it change? It was worth it. Isnt it a growth method Ive never seen before while climbing the tower? My eyes twinkled at that, and for the time being, I turned my eyes to the 11th detailed effect of Necromancy. Detailed effect (11) C . Effects can be selected. As a system message hidden by an invisible ck box. Loading options And then. Loadingplete. The next moment. One. Tamcheon(؝) Exnation: You can extract a unique special @^? by consuming sa?*&^! 2. Essence(|) Exnation: Be the essence of Han Yoon and be imprinted in the deepest part of the soul and disappear? Isnt that right? %^ 3. Standby Description: Acquire dogs abilities. Can you acquire concept abilities by consuming sa? *^&. . I couldnt help but frown at the system messages that appeared in front of me. What is this again? It was worth it. Because the contents of the options to select the detailed effects of Necromancy are very heterogeneous. The appearance of broken characters as if using a low-performance trantor. However, instead of being more embarrassed by him, I touched my chin and inferred why this happened. Is it because it became an ability outside the system? It wasnt too difficult to guess why. Even if its just an ability thats outside the system, its just mysterious that the side effects appear. Until now, even if it was ced outside the towers authority, the systems abilities were able to be implemented to some extent. I dont know exactly why, but Necromancy seemed to have a hard time borrowing the systems format properly. Thats why the side effects of breaking letters must have urred. But even so, it wasnt much of a problem. Still, its not like I cant read it at all. Even if the characters of the system message are broken, it can be read to some extent. At least in terms of choice, it wont be too much of a problem. And with that, I shook off my thoughts and worked on the effect selection. One. Tamcheon] [Exnation: By consuming sa?, you can extract a unique special @^? with random probability*&^!] I could think about what this meant roughly if I concentrated. Perhaps it means that I can extract the unique characteristics by consuming the spirit. It was a truly mesmerizing effect. Necromancy has grown in such a way as to absorb abilities, skills, and the concept of divinity. Perhaps, if I can take out the unique characteristics, it will be able to be my strength. At least if the threshold for growth is not low, other unique characteristics can be fully used. 2. Essence(|) Exnation: Be the essence of Han Yoon and be imprinted in the deepest part of the soul and disappear? Isnt it? Its all!%^ I think this is roughly the same effect as the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >. It wasnt really worth choosing. I dont know what it means to be my essence, but Hasnt this side already been sufficiently resolved by the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >? Now, no one could touch what I had, and even the tower couldnt interfere with anything without my permission. 3. Standby Description: Acquire dogs abilities. Can you acquire concept abilities by consuming sa? *^& I dont really know this time. What kind of effect is this? It seems that you can roughly acquire the ability of the concept, and based on that, you can acquire the concept ability by consuming the spirit. But thats all. I didnt know where the ability of the concept was used and whether I had to consume it to get it. Its better to choose something thats okay here. And it was decided what to choose. Selectionplete. Your choice is reflected and < Tamcheon(؝) > is imprinted on the detailed effect. Immediately Detailed effect (11) C Tamcheon(؝). By consuming the spirit, you can extract unique characteristics with a random probability.] Tamcheon (؝). It is to obtain an effect that can extract unique characteristics by consuming the spirit. And I smiled at the newly reflected content in the detailed effects. Its just the same effect as I thought, but its good in its own way. Of course, it is a method of extracting unique characteristics with random probability like skill extraction, but I liked the fact that I could get another unique characteristic anyway. Even if its not a unique characteristic like necromancy that can get the divinity of a concept, if you can get a useful unique characteristic, it will be the best result. Then I guess this is over now. As it was, I made a choice. Should I select all the remaining effects now? And Detailed Effects (12) C . You can choose the effect. As a result, the options appeared in front of my eyes again. One. Wuhak Description: By consuming sa?, you can extract the martial arts inherent in sa? as a skill*&^! 2. Sangseong (}) Exnation: Can you consume Sa? to acquire Sacred Power instead of ability level growth? *^& 3. Standby Description: Acquire dogs abilities. Can you acquire concept abilities by consuming sa? *^&. . But I didnt like it that much. Is it all about extracting skills, acquiring divine power, and acquiring special abilities? If I were to put this in a nutshell, would I say its a bummer? Compared to before, there was nothing that caught my eye. Even 3. Isnt rge device an option that has already been excluded from selection? Even if I can choose the effect, I cant help it if the choice itself isnt good. Anyway, there were already many ways to acquire skills and divine power. Even if you dont have to specify it as a detailed effect of necromancy, there are only things that can be done. So, it was decided what to choose. That too is very certain. Selectionpleted. Your choice is reflected and < Waiting > is imprinted on the detailed effect. And then. Detailed effect (12) C Atmosphere rge device). You can acquire concept stats and consume spirits to acquire concept stats.] The next moment. The concept of a special stat is created. The concept of concept dwells in the divinity, and the concept of the divinity gets stronger as the concept stat goes up . could Could it be that the concept divinity itself can be strengthened? This is literally an effectparable to multiple acquisitions of unique characteristics. I got more than I thought. It was worth it. Being able to strengthen a concept divinity such as divinity < transcendence >, divinity < death > or divinity < words > has a value that is not light. Concept divinity can be extremely strengthened only by raising the stats of the concept. It was an effect that even an ancient deity could take notice of, and only then did I realize that an idental choice had brought me luck. Detailed effect (13) C . Effect can be selected. Then, shall we go next. And just like that, I made a choice without stopping. One. Genius Exnation: Is it possible to permanently increase the level of innate talent by consuming four? *&^! 2. Foresight Exnation: Is it possible to see a part of the future instead of consuming Sa? *^& 3. Recursion Exnation: By consuming 4?, you can remove the cooldown of all species? abilities^@& And. I cant believe this To which I said 3. When I saw the contents of Return, I immediately erased my hesitation. Cooldown reset? It was worth it. This is because it is more intuitive and powerful than the content that you can raise the level of your innate talent or see the future of a part. In fact, if you look at the description, isnt it an effect that can remove all kinds of cooldowns by consuming spirits? Then its best to pick this one. There were quite a few abilities that I couldnt use properly because of the cooldown. Exclusive authority #A-0107 [transcendence skill] or skill st resistance or authority sunbo were like that. If you can use it to get rid of the cooldown after stocking up on themand, you will be able to fight the best battle. It had to be a very attractive effect. Selectionpleted. Your choice is reflected and < Recursion > is engraved on the detailed effect. And then. Detailed effect (13) C Recursion. You can reduce the cooldown of all kinds of abilities by consuming the spirit. Within the moment the final detailed effect is selected. Acquisition of unique characteristics, strengthening of concept divinity, and now even getting cooldown reset. Just like that, I opened my eyes and smiled. I never thought I would get this much effect this far. At most, it was because of the indescribable benefits made possible by just one level of necromancy. I cant wait to see how far I can use this. but for a while. At this point, it would be nice to go down to Earth and collect unique characteristics For a moment, I had to close my mouth when I felt a gaze in the middle of spitting out words filled with excitement. The manager White Crane Geomseon(Q) is staring at you The manager White Crane Geomseon(Q) is staring at you The Administrator White Crane Swordsman (Q) is staring at you] Its nothing else The Administrator White Crane Swordsman (Q) invites you to the administrators area. The managers invitation arrived as the eyes were pouring in. Chapter 352 352. Baekhakgeomseon (3) Seeing the system message in front of me, I shut my mouth tightly. The manager Baekhak Geomseon(Q) invites you to the manager area. Baekhak Geomseon (Q). One of the administrators who made an apostle contract while climbing the tower. And it is because a kind of master who gave great lessons while learning martial arts sent an invitation. And then I rolled my eyeballs in a rigid state. Come to think of it, it seems like it was quite a while ago that I met Baekhak Geomseon. It was worth it. As a matter of fact, since he was a teacher, he offered her a ttery, but he was a teacher and he did not treat her with respect or visit her often. And thats even more sotely. Suddenly, there were many events that raised his status as an ancient deity, and he forgot the idea of meeting her. It bothered me. I almost made a mistake. And btedly, I felt a little relief. If it hadnt been for her call, Id either go down to Earth or use Remegeton. It was as if the order of things to be done was not wrong because of her calling. Anyway, it was all the more so because she had to get rid of her long-cherished ordeal before the 27th floor. The priority was to solve the white crane inspections secret wish. However, it is also true that it is embarrassing to face her right away. There was still ack of mental preparation (?) to see the white crane inspection. If I had to argue, it should be the feeling that a child who made a mistake cannot see his parents properly. I couldnt go right away because I needed to find out not only that, but also the new effects of necromancy. Lets buy some time. So the hesitation disappeared. Could you give me a little more time? As it was, I refrained from changing my expression at the sight shooting from one ce in this stone chamber and continued. If you do, I will go there soon. Anyway, even if Baekhak Geomseon didnt invite me, I didnt have any problems. Through the Towers exclusive authority, #B-714[Region Move], you can freelye and go from the managers area. And is it because the Baekhak inspection also knew about it from thest visit? Her gaze soon lifted, and a system message appeared before her eyes. I would like to ask that the administrator, Baekhakgeomseon, please help you And that too in a somewhat low-key tone. Polite word? Her iprehensible honorifics are a bit foreign, but Even then, theres nothing you can tell from system messages. I shook my head and let go of the nonsensical thoughts. Anyway, it would have bought me time. For now lets finish what we have to do. Just like that, I did what I had to do. Because there are still things I need to check for necromancy. And Struggle, Victory, and Death? Permanently increase stats by using themand of the god. Muscle strength increased by 97 Agility increased by 96 Stamina increased by 94 Magic power increased by 91 Durability increased by 91 I did. The concept has risen by 19. The moment when the abilities were raised by absorbing the spirit of the ancient deity. As expected, this will alsoe up now. Only then could I put a smile on my lips. As I thought, I was able to grow my conceptual stats with Necromancy. It was worth it. Detailed effect (12) C Atmosphere rge device). You can acquire concept abilities and consume spirits to acquire concept abilities . This time, I was able to confirm the growth route of one of the effects of the growth of necromancy. Isnt concept ability really the ability to strengthen the divinity of a concept? Thats why I thought maybe I could only use special means to raise my stats . But didnt the number rise that much? Are there any restrictions though? However, despite the conversion of the spirit of the ancient deity into stats, the conceptual stats have only slightly increased. But even so, the ie was not small. All of a sudden, the conceptual divinity inside the body was vibrating, albeit weakly, and each conceptual divinity took on a dark color. It means only one thing. Concept divinity definitely got stronger. In fact, the conceptual ability is a power that even ancient deities have no choice but to covet. Even if it is an ancient deity, the divinity of the concept cannot be easily strengthened. However, the conceptual abilities pursued growth beyondmon sense. Thats very certain. Its not a big change yet, but it will inevitably changeter. As if dust is gathered and called a great mountain Maybe over time, if we can raise our conceptual abilities to three digits or beyond, things will change a lot. Divinity < Death > could kill even a high-ranking deity with a single blow, and divinity < Lord of Words > could grow into a form that could suppress the divinity of concepts. Imagining it was expected in many ways. Then, would you be able to raise your stats with this? Then, a question popped into my head and I activated the exclusive authority. Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated. The manager-only secret shop is opened. Its nothing else Theyer where Challenger Han Seong-yoon is staying is not suitable for using the shop. As a result, only [Category: Ability] can be used in the secret shop for administrators only. Until a certain level is reached, the eligibility to use the secret shop for administrators is considered insufficient. A kind of growth expedient that only I can use . it was here You have entered the manager-only secret shop [category: Ability]. ?Strength [1] : 10000P ?Strength [1] : 10000P ?Agility [1] : 10000P ?Magic [1] : 10000P ?Endurance [1] : 10000P ?Concept [1] : 100000P (*NEW!) I never thought it would exist, but I really thought it would exist. The ability to purchase conceptual abilities was added to the exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop]. Even that at a slightly higher price point than other stats. Perhaps I have concept stats and I think I can buy them It was the best result. If I can buy conceptual stats with points that I dont particrly use, I dont have to worry. And to that end, I put all the points I had earned in the previous trials into one ce. Paid [1500000] points to the manager-only secret shop. Increases concept by 15. Nice. And I couldnt help but smile at him. That would be the case too But the rise in conceptual abilities that can only be obtained by absorbing the spirit of an ancient deity has urred. In fact, it was a simr effect to catching an ancient deity. The Tower of Trials is silent while looking at the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Of course, the Tower of Trials, knowing that, is behaving disapprovingly of me There was nothing the tower could do anyway, as long as there was the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >. The exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] was already in my hands. Then, even if it was a tower of trials, it was difficult to touch it. And I finished the job with a smile on my face. Is this the end of the confirmation of necromancy? For now, this is the end of what can be confirmed immediately in Necromancy. You can use Tamcheon(؝), which can obtain unique characteristics, or Return(ٚw), which can reduce various cooldowns, by consuming the spirit. And since I spent most of my decree on the battlefield of the gods, I couldnt confirm the detailed effects of necromancy anymore. Thats why raising the conceptual ability was all that could be done. Then lets go soon. Is it because theplicated thoughts in my head have disappeared all of a sudden? Now it seemed okay to face Baekhakgeomseon, who should be called his teacher. Of course, it was a little awkward as I had neglected her for a while, but this must also be an obstacle to ovee anyway. Activate the exclusive authority #B-714 [Area Move]. Please specify the manager area to move to. And. Designationpleted. Move to the area of administrator White Crane Swordsman (Q). Soon, the moment calmed down the image and moved to the area of White Crane Swordsman. Oh, are you here? A refreshing scent of grass rustled at the tip of his nose, and a faint trembling voice came to his ears. Only then did he see the scene in front of him more clearly. and the white-haired beauty half-hidden by the wooden pole. It was the appearance of the White Crane Swordsman, which was recognizable even after a long time, but the state was strange, although I did not know where it was. oh long time no see. Its nothing else sir. ? Han Seong-yoon . There, Baekhak Swordsman was trembling, at least slightly frightened. *** Its a while to have a ridiculous confrontation with each other. So As always, I sat down and saw the White Crane Swordsman standing far away next to me. It seems that he is sitting quietly, still unable to erase the tension. I continued speaking with a slight headache. For what reason are you suddenly saying honorifics? and. Thats it The next moment. Seongyun You are an ancient deity Is it poetry? Only then did I know where Baekhak Geomseons awkward honorifics came from. You saw what happened on the battlefield of the gods through the tower. Somehow it happened Joe? that. Im sorry if I offended you And at that time, he is doing this because I have reached the level of perfect ancient godhood. yes. Seo Seong-yoon is different from a fake god like me. Thats why I think youll be offended. For some reason, I felt dumbfounded at the appearance of being intimidated. I couldnt believe it, but I really thought this would happen because I became an ancient deity. But on the other hand, it was convincing. In the first ce, isnt the manager itself a fake deity created by the tower? So, from the standpoint of Baekhakgeomseon, it seemed that she thought that it would be unpleasant for her to speak to me, an ancient deity. Not only that, but he was quite terrified as to whether he knew how to hurt him. Still, is it because it is a rtionship that has umted affection in its own way? Just because he became an ancient deity, it didnt look very nice to act like that. So I immediately parted my lips and conveyed what I had to say. I dont need to be so respectful, so please treat mefortably. yes? Im not showing any tyranny just because I became an ancient deity anyway. no is it? Only then did Baekhak Geomseon nce at him and shook his head. Im sorry. I made a mistake. Im d you know. And I spoke to him with a shy smile. And even if they became ancient deities, arent they still priests? And in a very soft tone. So just take it easy. and. Master. Is it because of the emphasis on the title of master, which is like a kind of cheat key? Master Su? Suddenly, Baekhak Geomseon approached with tears in his eyes as if he was moved. Do you still think of me as a teacher even after bing an ancient deity? Thats right. Does that mean that I am the most special to Sungyoon? ? no. I didnt think it was that special I just thought of him as a master because he was able to learn martial arts. In reality, how many hours did you learn martial arts from Baekhakgeomseon? Even martial arts are not taught by the old rules. If Baekhakgeomseon gave a martial arts demonstration, I just followed it. It is true that he had a certain affection for Baekhak Geomseon to some extent, but he did not think of it as particrly special. But those thoughts did not escape his lips. is not it? Because I saw her eyes twinkle before I knew it, so it was hard to deny that it wasnt. no. Come to think of it, it seems right. Master. Only then did Baek Hak Geomseon put a big smile on his lips. Whoops! I knew it! Seongyun also thought of me as the most special! I knew it! Like she said, I wondered if she was afraid of me because she knew that would happen. As expected, it is true that I should leave my secret wish to Seong-yoon. That would be the case too At that time, Seong-yoon signed a contract to make my wishe true. It is because her eyes suddenly had a glow that could be called a certain desire. The exclusive authority #G-0778[Last Desire] of administrator White Crane Swordsman has been activated. Thats very intense. Chapter 353 353. Baekhakgeomseon (4) Secret wish (). It is to fulfill the wish that the manager subordinated to the tower could not fulfill during his lifetime. It was also in the same form as the ordeal given to the challenger by the Tower of Trials. An opportunity thates only once in a managers lifetime. It means a lot to entrust it to me. Exclusive authority #G-0778 [Last Wish] of Administrator White Crane Swordsman has been activated. It means that she trusts me enough to entrust her with the most desired wish in her life. Its not that strange. It was worth it. Up until now, while climbing the tower, I had gone through countless fierce battles, and at the end of it, I reached the level of an ancient deity. In fact, even a challenger climbing the 30th or 40th floor beyond here wouldnt be able to beat me. Because Im the strongest here. Its not like confidence. Its just that this is an obvious fact with nothing to add or add to the pathetic exaggeration. And thats why Baekhak Geomseon goes beyond trusting me and is going to entrust me with the ordeal of my earnest wish. Based on the wishes of the administrator, White Crane Swordsman (Q), a special ordeal that is out of ss will be created. ept: You can enter the world of White Crane Swordsman, the manager recreated with the power of the tower. Reject: Special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > will be cancelled. . Just Im sorry, but I cant take this yet. Its just that I dont intend to enter the ordeal of the secret wish yet. It was difficult to ept Baekhak Swordsmans earnest wish in this way. In an instant, Baekhak Geomseons face hardened like a stone, and her eyes trembled. Suddenly, instead of the intense longing, her eyes were filled with tears. what do you mean by that? It looks like a small animal abandoned by its owner. Cant ept the ordeal of the non-prayer? yes. why why? Seo Seong-yoon said he thought I was the most special! I dont think he even hated me no. Thats not it, you need to know the contents of the secret wish, right? And only then did the droplets of water stop, as if they were about to pour into Baekhak Geomseons eyes. Ah. Because it is convenient to know the contents of the secret wish and its background to some extent. Yeah thats right Yes because I need to know the contents of the secret wish I must have been mistaken. A red light came up on her face btedly, and her head went down. but for a while. The white crane swordsman, who calmed his burning face by shaking his head, raised his head and brightened his eyes. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued. Come to think of it, I never properly told Seong-yoon about my wishes. Suddenly, Baekhak Geomseons eyes were stained with bitterness. its not that difficult. My only wish is for my family to be revived. And she said with those sad eyes. My family disappeared because I went through extinction when I was young. It is only my wish to rebuild and revive it in Moorim. Then, if you rebuild and revive Masters family, thats it. yes. Thats why its not an extreme wish like that woman of the iron blooded lord. Its not enough to talk about the end of the world. But in some ways it can be more difficult than that. ? I had to roll my eyes at him. Im not at the level of discussing the end of the world, but what could be more difficult than that? Even if a high-ranking deity is intertwined, it shouldnt be particrly burdensome, so why is it so difficult? In the trials of the secret wish, there are immortals or opponentsparable to them, but there are more important conditions than that. However, such doubts had to be quickly resolved. Actually, family revival is something I have to do with my own hands. What is that Ah, to be precise, I have to do it myself as a child in the trial of my longing. Even if Seong-yoon meets all the conditions for the revival of the family, it means that I must have the minimum qualifications to carry on it. I dont think that Thats right. He would be like that too So It was because he realized why Baekhak Geomseon said that this secret wish could be difficult. In short, it means that the me reproduced in The Secret Garden must grow to the level of a pseudo-god. Thats very certain. *** In fact, the secret wish of the white crane inspection is something that ordinary challengers cannot achieve. I never thought I would have to grow the white crane swordsman reproduced by the tower to the level of a god. It was worth it. Because the ability of a mere challenger to climb the tower would not be able to reach the level of godhood. Not even that. Even if you reach the level of godhood, you cannot make others do the same. Is it possible to clear this at the level of a challenger? And it was no different for me either. Growing others to reach the realm of godhood was not my specialty. It was the same even if it was at the level of a pseudo-goddess rather than a formal deity. But that doesnt mean you cant refuse. Ill try. In the end, the answer was fixed. Ugh Im sorry Because its an absurd wish Then Baekhakgeomseon said that with a sullen expression, and I replied with a smile. Still, you seem to know, so its okay. She lowered her head and spoke in an ant-like voice. Yes, yes Well, and I have a solution in mind to some extent anyway, so there is nothing to worry about. Any solution? Thats right. If I had to question it, should I say it was an application of the authority I originally possessed? My power as an ancient deity could be the key to the solution. Since bing an ancient deity, I have been able to handle many things. Of course, Im not sure yet, but there are plenty of possibilities. That was enough to allow mere mortals to step into the realm of divinity. Perhaps if a solution works, we wont have to wait so long. Of course, it is a solution that is close to a kind of expedient, but in any case, it can be solved enough if it is enough to raise it to the level of godhood. Its just that, if theres a problem, its just that its not the level of divinity that Baekhakgeomseon hopes for. in that case, please. and. The exclusive authority #G-0778[Last Wish] of Administrator White Crane Swordsman has been activated. Shortly thereafter, the moment her exclusive authority was activated again. Ill be waiting for Sungyoon toe back here. Did I feel relieved to hear that I hade up with a solution to some extent? Baekhak Geomseon said that with a rxed expression, as if he was more relieved. Only then did I smile a little, and I waspletely ready to enter the ordeal. I wont keep you waiting very long. and. Even if its an ordeal of a longing, it wont be difficult for me anymore. next moment. I will enter the Tower of Trials < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman >. Difficulty C Difficulty The subject of the ordeal is White Crane Swordsman(Q). I hope that your wishese true. In an instant, everything in front of me was dyed ck. Is it a start? Its nothing else The special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > begins. andplete your revenge. Trial failure conditions C death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time Trial breakthrough reward- The reward level will be determined by the appraisal of the white crane sword Trial failure penalty-death Finally, finally, the end The time hase to fulfill your long-cherished wish. *** ck space. As soon as I entered the achromatic world with nothing, system messages appeared in front of my eyes. And I couldnt help but frown as I read all the system messages that appeared in front of him. The wearing of some equipment is restricted and transferred to the inventory. Challenger Han Seong -yoon has stats that are not suitable for the special nature of the ordeal. I dont. However, in the case of concept stats, it is fixed to 10 instead of 80. It made sense. Are you saying youre going to lower all your stats down to double digits? Suddenly, the system that originated from the tower tried to exclude my power. Remodeling. But even so, I wasnt particrly taken aback by him. The myth of transcendence < absolute immutability > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons actions will have the divine effect of < denial of alteration >. . From now on, the < one and only > divinity effect will be applied to the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Outside phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission. After all, even if it was a tower, it wouldnt be able to pierce the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability >. In the blink of an eye, the restrictions of the tower that came from everywhere copsed and scattered without a shape. Its also very neat. And [] [An error urred.] [The Tower of Trials is silent about your actions.] The response the Tower chose was really simple. The Tower of Ordeal activates exclusive authority #A-088 [Restriction Correction] to correct some restrictions. Some of the restrictions of the special contract ordeal < Last Desire: White Crane Swordsman > are changed. The Tower of Ordeal activates exclusive authority #A-021 [Reward Revision] to modify the contents of the reward. The level of the reward for the special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > has increased. . Only then did I smile. Do you mean to appease now that you have no means of coercion? In fact, at this point, it is more like a request rather than a manual operation. It seems that a lot of equipment restrictions have disappeared. Of course, the restriction on wearing equipment has notpletely disappeared, but it seems that one of the penalties of the ordeal, the restriction on the use of inventory has been lifted. In a word, it meant that you could enter the ordeal and use all the equipment you originally had. Its just the equipment side, but its changed to the level of mana. But there were parts that were still the same. Doesnt he have any intention of negotiating for all abilities? Currently, TOP is insisting on lowering all of my abilities to double digits. However, it is not an iprehensible level of obsession. If my physical ability is maintained as it is, the bnce will copse. But this is enough. Not even that. The tower activates the exclusive authority #A-021 [Compensation Modification] and the trial reward is calibrated. It seems like they want to preserve all the restrictions on all abilities by adding corrections to the rewards Anyway, it wasnt difficult to regain power by using the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >. But Then, what to do was decided. Thats not a bad offer. At best, if you can add modifiers to your rewards in exchange for all your stats, the gains will be clear. Then it wouldnt matter. and. The Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > is deactivated. Soon after, the Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > disappears and the level of all stats is lowered by the Tower. The world creation for the special contract ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman > has beenpleted. In an instant, the ck space in front of my eyes regained its color and changed. The role selection isplete. Challenger Han Seong C yoon is assigned the role of < Guard Warrior > of the Shandong Baek Family . the moment you put it. I couldnt help but frown. What is this again? That should be the case too You have achieved the achievement Enlightenment . No matter where you turn your gaze, the river of blood that stains everywhere scatters the smell of blood. Everywhere you can even hear screams, shes of steel, or battle cries. And that wasnt enough, and the pces built on the widend were engulfed in fire and burning. thats fun. Its nothing else is it hard mode from the start? As soon as the earnest wish of the white crane inspection begins, it is put in a situation where it will fail. Chapter 357 357. The best in the world (3) Before I knew it, I was smiling brightly. I never thought there would be a cheat key like a miracle drug It was worth it. Just as there are countless items with mysterious effects in the Tower of Trials It seems that Moorim here also has its own high-level elixirs. Then theres no need to worry. And it has only one meaning. Didnt I say Maehwadan in the Volcano group and Yuundan in the Jongnam group? Its not different thats fun. One of the conditions for clearing the ordeal is that the revival of the Baek family can be carried out at once. [Folding whirlpool] Its also very simple. Jijijijijijik-! In the blink of an eye, the ck magic of leaping into space was activated, causing shimmers in the surroundings and exerting power. And when Snow White saw it, she blinked with a nk face. The eyes are unfocused, as if seeing a temporary hallucination. Master Sa? But apart from her reaction, I simply said. I will get rid of either the Volcano faction or the Jongnam faction. yes? What is that? Just like theres something to buy on the market floor somewhere in the neighborhood. I think Ill probably bring all the good elixirs there It didnt seem like it was really that different. Since the Volcano Squad was said to be one of the old file rooms anyway, I was thinking of getting rid of it. Even if you bring the famous medicines there, Snow Whites achievements will greatly increase, so its killing two birds with one stone. Until then, make up for it through voluntary training. and. Enough then. next moment. Chak-. In the blink of an eye, I could leap through space and get to where I wanted to be. About this? Of course, information such as where the volcanic wave is located is unknown, but Maybe this ce is a volcanic wave. It doesnt matter much anyway. The senses obtained by reaching the level of an ancient deity are enough to detect at least one continent. Thats why I was able to arrive at the Volcano Sect based on the energy of the Volcano Sect Elder I had seen in the Giant Tree Labyrinth. Its very easy too. Only then did I raise my head and look around. In fact, the ce where Inded beyond the space was one of the mountain roads of the steep mountain. For a moment, I mistakenly guessed where the volcanic wave was and thought I hade to the wrong ce, but it wasnt really that. I didnt know that you would be building your power in a steep mountain like this. It was worth it. Because there was a building that seemed to be the entrance to the volcanic wave beyond the steep mountain road in front of me. And as I approached the ce that seemed to be the road to the volcano wave, a man in a purple uniform suddenly approached me. From here on out, its the headquarters of the Volcano Sect. The man in purple clothes nced at me and smiled. We can decide whether or not to allow foreigners to go if they tell us their name, origin, and business. An attitude that seemed to be looking down on someone for some reason. This is Han Seong-yoon. I came from the Baek family. And only then did the opponent in front of him startle and react properly. the Baek family? Do you mean the Shandong Baekga, which is called the Shingeombaekga? Perhaps. Right. Now, please rify the entry requirements. Only then will this side be allowed entry. Im just here to break the volcanic waves and get some elixir. The moment I naturally said that as if I had gone for a walk. Yes, I came to collect the elixir to break the volcanic wave. It was only then that the man in purple clothes blinked several times and said, as if he felt a sense of difference. Now, stop for a second. what did you say I think I just misunderstood something I came to break the volcanic wave. ? and. Oh, and as a bonus, Im here to pick up some elixirs like plum blossoms. The moment I said so lightly while looking at the man in front of me. Such a crazy bastard! visor-! In the blink of an eye, a man in purple clothes swung a sword at me with great rage. And as soon as I saw that, I immediately reached down and shed the de, twisting the swords trajectory. Just by lightly touching the sword, the trajectory of the sword was broken, and the magic power contained in the sword was scattered into the air and lost its power. What is this! but for a while. Kwajiik-! Ouch! In the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the gap where the sword trajectory was disturbed, I punched the opponents chin. After all, if the swords trajectory was so disorganized, it wouldnt be difficult to approach. And as soon as the man in front of me copsed, I picked up his sword. Because I had no intention of using the Blood Heaven Demon Sword in my inventory. I dont think theres any need to use superior items like the Blood Demon Sword here anyway. It was worth it. So far, even those who are called peak masters have been able to win without much difficulty. Even with a single sword, which is nothing special. However, there was no way he could have felt the need to use a special item in a ce like this. And its all the more true when you think of the mindset of the Murim people who seem to be mentally ill. Not even that. Considering the Moorim people who faced while climbing the tower, the use of items or the use of prominent skills could soon be the subject of political criticism. If so, there was a possibility that there would be some setbacks in the revival of the Baek family. There was no need to use an item with a special ability, but there was no need to show it, so I had no intention of doing so. Is it a volcanic wave And thats not all. I look forward to it. As it was, I raised my sword and smiled at the majestic buildings of the Volcano Sect. How wonderful the martial arts of the Volcanic Wave are. Its nothing else Really Before I knew it, I licked my lips thinking about the countless martial arts in the Volcano. The martial art that has reached the highest level of excellence is a level that can stand against even the god who deals with the conceptual realm. Then, martial arts was not a bad thing to learn. Isnt it often said that there is no end to learning? Knowing that, I couldnt help but enjoy it. It will be fun. Thats a very big word too. *** As time passed, the incident grew rapidly. Could it be that he noticed themotion at the entrance of the volcanic wave? Suddenly, inside the volcanic faction, the purple-d Mundos spewed out their rage and poured out sword strikes. Bastard! How dare you do something like this to the volcanic faction! Ill make you unable to walk again! Ill make you regret doing this to one of the old file rooms, the Volcano Squad!! Die in front of the volcanic sword, regretting your wickedness! But it didnt mean much. Kkwajijijijijijik-! Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! omg! Sword skill! That climax! How did such a monster appear! Summon the executioners! Cant the peak master be able to deal with the plum swordsmen! It was worth it. What is this again? Most of the swordsmen in front of me werent that high level. If I had to argue, I would have to say that the beasts I faced in Shandongbaekga were stronger. And at that level, I couldnt help but feel dumbfounded with my eyes closed. Is it only at this level? If you swing your sword as if drawing a line without anything else, enemies are swept away like autumn leaves. In fact, most of them were defeated without a chance to see the skills of the Volcano Wave. But even so, is there a master of its own? ha ha ha. Thats funny. I never thought there would be a guy who would do something like this after joining the Volcano Sect. Suddenly, a bold-looking young man approached with a shy sword. It is interesting. What is your name? Im called Cheongpung, one of the swordsmiths of plum blossoms Roughly speaking, in Moorim, you can call him a master at his peak. In a word, he had the ability to deal with the change in the nature of the sword. But I couldnt help but frown when I saw the blue wind. At most, if its at the level of dealing with changes in the nature of sword skills, its not worth dealing with. And I told Cheongpung without holding back my thoughts about him. You are too weak. what? There is too much talk about a subject that can only deal with changes in the nature of sword skills. You son of a bitch! Did it turn into a kind of stimulus and anger the blue wind? Ill show you the dignity of a plum swordsman!! next moment. Plum blossoms in full bloom! Chara rock-! In the blink of an eye, the sword strike fell, scattering traces like plum blossoms. ha ha ha-! This is the Volcanic Sword! You are nothing The swordsmans skill of fantasy and pleasure reminds me of a branch of a plum tree. But even so, I couldnt y very well. That would be the case too Can you do something like that with martial arts? Paaang! The moment you pressed the loophole of the plum blossoms as if you were lightly pressing down on a certain point with a sword. In the blink of an eye, the scent of plum blossoms and their traces disappeared, and the deception disappeared. That, too, is futile, like a balloon pricked by a needle. It was only then that the opponent in front of him, Cheongpung, realized that the trick of illusion had disappeared and opened his eyes wide, but to no avail. Chow-! Ouch! and. Uh Chi Maehwa only destroyed the herbivore Thats just because your skills were so low. I did kun. Someone like me is iparable I was a master Its nice to know now. After that, Cheongpung copsed with blood pouring from his lips. dump-. Every plum blossom inspection was only one second intelligible? To think that the death penalty of Cheo Cheongpung was treated like that! It must have been close to the best among plum inspectors! It must be a master of transcendence or a master of hwagyeong. Otherwise, I wouldnt be able to exin that deity After defeating the opponents in sight, what should be called the atmosphere has changed. How much has it been recognized? The eyes sent to this ce within the volcanic wave have changed. Up until now, there had been only simple hostility, but as they continued to win overwhelming victories, emotions such as awe or bewilderment were mixed. Its not a bad thing. To be honest, it was lower than I expected, but not the worst. It was rewarding to deal with it as peacefully as possible. It was worth it. Could it be because he treated me peacefully(?) by being as polite as possible and not killing anyone? Still, there was no one who was angry about tearing the beast to shreds in various ces. Amazing. Not even that. trudging-. I came to make sure that the outsider does not die because the disciples of Hwasan seem to be acting recklessly Before I knew it, an old man from the main building of the Hwasan faction was walking this way. As it turned out, the disciples of Hwasan could have been careless. Even at first nce, it gives off a gentle impression of kindness. Although the best-in-ss mastermitted rudeness, we should treat him as much as he deserves. The old man, who seemed to have only good intentions, said with a bright smile. Determine yourself. ? If you do, I will make sure nothing happens to your recluse. . The volcanos long gate hasnt moved yet because of bugs like you. So, at the discretion of Bindo, the elder of the volcano, Ill allow him tomit an honorable suicide and. You still dont understand the situation. Are you aware of the situation? That is something other than that you have to do. Dare to go to one of the old factions, the Volcano Squad It doesnt matter because the Volcanic Faction wont be the old Faction. ? I then said to him. Because as of today, the volcanic wave is over. As it was, I smiled and shed my hand at the location of the main building of the Volcano Squad. got it? What nonsense is that Its not nonsense, its the truth. and. Because the volcanic wave will destroy it neatly so that it cannot be recovered. next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the blink of an eye, the volcanic factions buildings were split apart and copsed by the mind sword fired. Kkwagwagwagwagwagwang! Buildings of the volcanic wave copsed and roars erupted everywhere, and only then did the old mans face turn pale. what is this? A face as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. I think Ive finally figured out the situation Then I smiled at him and said. Then could you call me a long-time man? Just left out the afterword, just like this before burying the whole mountain alive. Chapter 358 358. The first person in the world (4) In the blink of an eye, the old man called the elder of the Volcano faction was silent. Suddenly, the eyes of the Volcano Elder were filled with amazement. A distorted expression as if he had seen a fictional phenomenon that could not exist. And the old man opened and closed his lips quiveringly and repeated several times before finally being able to speak. Come to think of it, Ive heard of it The Volcano Elders face, wrinkled by his old age, showed awe. In the old days, when there was no one to remember, it was said that the one who stood at the end of the path could handle the de of the mind Only then did the Volcano Elder calm down his raging anger and spoke with only awe. I cant believe that legendary technology like the sword really exists like this It was not so different from the others inside the volcanic wave. Even the disciples of the volcano faction, which seemed to number in the hundreds, were expressing feelings of astonishment everywhere. Its just that the shock of that feeling of awe is so great that I cant even utter a word like the Volcanic Wave Elder. How did a sagee down to a world inhabited by insignificant mortals? But even so, I answered calmly. Its true that he used the sword, but I dont know if he can be called a good man. I guess so. If youe, the deceased will be able to tell you why he came here Didnt I tell you that I came to destroy the volcanic waves? . Was the situation properly grasped then? Before he knew it, the elder of the Volcanic Wave shook his eyes violently and let out a drool while breaking out in a cold sweat. It was as if he had realized that the Volcano Sect would truly perish if it continued like this. Then, the Volcano Elder stayed still for a few seconds before finally opening his mouth again. Heh heh heh. Are you doing this because of the rudeness of the volcano? Then, at Bindos discretion, I will reward you for your rudeness But I didnt like that either. Why do you decide thepensation for rudeness? What is that? Anyway, as long as I take the reward anyway, thats it. Even if you have to ask, thats not all. And what I want is to break the volcanic wave. That would be the case So And then. In short, there is no room for negotiation. next moment. If you understand roughly, it would be better to call the volcanic faction master. Just like that, I said with a smile. That way, youll have a chance to stop the volcanic wave from copsing. And in a very pleasant voice. *** Time passed quickly. Still, like an elder of the Volcano faction, hes quick on his feet? In the blink of an eye, the old man, an elder of the Volcanic Sect, disyed his light air and aplished what I said. the deceased. Its nothing else Hwasan Jangmun Cheongunjinin ordered the deceased to be brought to Dalyeondang. Please, you said you wanted to learn a trick. It was only now that he was able to see the longevity of the Volcano faction. Theyre still ying dirty tricks. But even so, it did not fill the castle. Isnt it better to juste and fight? It was worth it. The Volcano faction asked to learn a few things in Dalian Hall, but they were talking about what to do In fact, when I said that, I could only feel that I wanted to end the situation quietly. In fact, even though the buildings of the Volcanic Faction copsed, it was the same as asking to see them at the Dalian Hall. It would have been nice if I could just blow away the entire volcanic wave But that didnt mean the volcanic wave could copse at once. In fact, since I entered the trial, I was severely restricted. A situation with the condition that the ordeal must be cleared only by focusing on martial arts. If thats the case, you wont be able to use skills that are beyond the level of martial arts, such as the holy light or the undying mortal me. But this wont be bad either. Not even that. Considering what we have to get from the Volcano Wave before long, we should treat it as peacefully as possible. That way, you will be able to freely use the various gems obtained from the volcanic wave. After thinking about it, I nodded and replied. Then lets go to Dalyeondang. Did he really think that I would destroy the entire volcanic wave like this? Only then did the elder of the Volcano faction show signs of great relief. As if Im d things didnt turn out the worst as I thought. In fact, there was a sense of relief in the Volcano Elders emotions, which felt like a divine sense. Thank you for listening to me. old man I will notmit any more filial piety. Only then did the old man quickly lead me to a ce called Dalyeondang. Its probably a building built to practice martial arts with each other Following the guide of the Volcano Elder, six old men and one middle-aged man caught my eye. This And I had no choice but to narrow my eyes. To be honest, the six elderly people in front of me werent particrly threatening. At most, it would not be an exaggeration to say that if you throw a sword, you will not feel it and die. However, the middle-aged mans prayers mixed among the presumed elders of the Volcano faction were familiar. Isnt that divine? divinity. The source of power possessed by the gods who can interfere with concepts was felt in considerable amount by the middle-aged man in front of him. But its not a very high-level divinity But that was short-lived. In fact, is it just a level of pseudo-goddess, not formal deities? After roughly estimating the divinity of the opponent in front of me, I realized that the level of divinity was not high. Its just that the amount of divine power is slightlyrge, probably because of the umtion of divine power over a long period of time. To put it mildly, he was at a slightly lower level than the head of the Blood Demon Religion encountered through the < Blood Ceremony > quest on the 19th floor. And while I was staring at the middle-aged man, he opened his mouth. Its called Blue Cloud, the long sentence of the Volcano Sect. And I nodded my head in response. I am Han Seong-yoon. Where are you from? The Baek family. Its interesting Only then did Chungwoon smile and say with empty eyes as if he couldnt understand. Ive never heard of a hermit living in Shandongbaekga, but thats all I can say. Chungwoon continued with his eyes closed. At first, I thought Elder Hyeonheo was senile because they said that a freshman had suddenlye to the volcano. Before I knew it, beyond the sunken eyes of Cheongwoon, a deep wariness flowed out. But now that I see it, I think it was enough to say that a freshman has arrived Cheongwoon asked a question with his eyes that had calmed down. Ising from Shandongbaek family a kind of revenge? plural? exactly. The Shandong Baekga gave grace to the Huashan faction by recovering one of the rising martial arts of the main faction. However, retaliation for abandoning that grace and neglecting the events of the ck Night League I dont really intend to do that. ? What the hell is this all about? Suddenly, Chungwoon gave off a wavering look as if he was confused. As if he couldnt understand the current situation at all. Then I continued with a tilt of my head in the same way. Perhaps you are misunderstanding something And then. What has been done so far in the Volcano Faction has nothing to do with revenge. next moment. I just came purely with the intention of destroying the volcanic wave. Hearing this, Chungwoon gritted his teeth and said as if he was spitting out rage. Then I have nothing more to say. Suddenly, Chungwoon raised a shy sword with eyes engulfed in anger. Even if you are a heavenly being who descended from the other side to the underworld, an individual cannot defeat a group like the Volcano Sect. Only an individual cant beat a group I hope you dont build up your foolish pride. Even this is actually a courtesy towards the master. If the Seven Elders of Hwasan and I work together, you will surely die. Hmm Does the man in front of you know who he is talking about? Even a freshman who came down from the sky wouldnt be able to defeat the volcanic wave? Really So Ill give you a chance. lets rain If Ipete against Hwasan Jangmun, Chungwoon, and win, I will ept any request, whether it be Hwasan Bongmun or something It was fun. thats fun. I spoke to him without waiting for Cheongwoons words to bepleted. Then lets have a simplepetition. You mean youre going to do a military service? no. ? and. Letspete with something a little more raw than that. What the hell is that Didnt you guys say that you would ask me to do something? So thats what it was Simple. next moment. The volcanic wave. ? Letspete against all the remaining masters of the Volcano Sect at once. What kind of crazy thing is that talking about? Still, you guys will be at a disadvantage, so lets put one more restriction. under! Do you think there is any benefit to doing such a foolish thing To that, I set one more condition as if it was nothing. Except for the Volcano Wave sword method, I forbid the use of any martial arts. under? Because it will be easy to learn the Volcanic Sect swordsmanship anyway. What is that the volcanic sword is not so easy to learn. And only then did I smile and point at a certain person with my index finger. no. Its nothing else You can learn. Volcanic wave master. Isnt there such a great teaching material right in front of you? It was blue luck. *** Kwaaaaaaang-! In the blink of an eye, the building of the Volcanic Faction Dalian Hall copsed. It looked like a crater was formed as if a lightning bolt had fallen to split the world. And beyond the ce where the Volcanic Wave Dalian Hall copsed, a shout of rage imbued with magic was heard. How dare you! How dare you! And I immediately knew who it was. How dare a bugger like you discuss the volcanic sword!! blue cloud. Suddenly, the volcanic factions leader was crying out with his red-hot eyes glowing. Just by swinging the sword, the building flew away at once, and just by venting anger, vibrations spread widely everywhere. Thats amazing And Iughed as I soared in the air. I never thought he would react like this with the fact that he said he would learn the sword of the volcano wave. Was it a scratch on his pride that he offered to deal with him using only the swordsmanship of the volcanic faction? But thanks to that, I was able to see the power right away without wasting time. Suddenly, Cheongwoons splendid sword was overflowing with purple sword steel. It also emits a very bright light. Even beyond the purple sword steel, the feeling of rage was growing. To the extent that the divinity in Cheongwoons heart shuddered greatly. As soon as I saw it, my eyes twinkled and I ate my mouth. He would be like that too If I dare to rage like this, I can see more benefits. The more angry the blue cloud in front of me is, the more I can gain. Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, the challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of the < Nemesis >. Those who do not have a will cannot resist your divine power. From now on, the effect of < Chaos > will be added to Challenger Seongyoon Hans divine operation. When < Chaos > is activated The enemys negative emotions are extracted with faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the higher the efficiency of faith extraction. It was simple. To win against the volcanic waves and countless unmanned people beyond. The process of achieving it is a tale (мԒ), and the emotions generated in the process can be formed into faith (). If so, isnt the meaning that can be obtained at the end decided? The god of transcendence and death quietly smiles, revealing greed full of anticipation. Exactly Thats also a myth specialized in martial arts. You can get a myth that exists only for martial arts. Chapter 359 359. First person in the world (5) Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will have the effect of the < Nemesis >. It greatly interferes with the power of existence. Those who do not have will cannot resist your divine power. When < Chaos > is activated, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. this has flowed . It seems that Chungwoons anger has been reduced to faith before he knew it. Thats wonderful. To be honest, it was an achievement that exceeded expectations. How can you gain this much faith with just one Murim master? In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the creative economy. Still, do you think hes a master who has even attained divinity in his own way? Even if it is said that it does not reach the level of a formal godhead, it is not a light level. At least I could be sure that he was a suitable opponent for gaining faith. Only then did I look down at Chungwoon, thinking of the myth I would soon acquire, and then I could see Cheongwoons bloodshot eyes. For such a lowly fellow to put the sword of the volcano wave in his mouth And then. Ill cut that rag-like mouth into pieces so you wont be able to talk nonsense like that again! next moment. Tuo-! Cheongwoon immediately screamed as if in a seizure and immediately kicked the ground. Did he forget in anger that he had pretended to be vain, as if following Taoist manners? The figure of the swordsman who seemed to be called the head of a group disappeared before he knew it, and only one swordsman who was angry to the top of his head was left. This is the Volcanic Sword! In the blink of an eye, Cheongwoon flew up into the air and swung a sword with purple sword des. As if petals were falling, he swung down the trajectory of his sword strike. However, I was not taken aback and immediately held out the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and mixed swords with swords to attack. As if this kind of deception doesnt work. Kagagak-! In an instant, sparks rose due to the sh of swords, and dozens of swordweeds were mixed in the blink of an eye. In fact, there would be no problem even if this side was superior in terms of the level of strength itself . And in the process, when the opponent continued to strike as if dropping a rockfall, this side crashed to the ground and had no choice but to concentrate on spilling the opponents attack. At that, I clicked my tongue inwardly. Its just strength, stamina, or agility, theyre all weak without picking a single ability The part where you feel the absence of physical ability all over again. Until now, I hadnt felt the penalty of all stat reductions so greatly, but not this time. The swordsman in front of me must be strong enough to be among the top 1% in this world. Even that was not enough, and since he built his divinity at a low level, he also possessed only a small part of his power as a godhead. Its very difficult to fight when the level of all abilities is only in the three digits. Its so hard to fight against someone who isnt even an official god . But apart from that, it wasnt that difficult in itself to continue the state of facing each other. Anyway, no matter how many times the other side attacks, if its all knocked out or thrown away, Ill be able to hold out forever. Im going to go to the middle of the day -! But was it not so visible in the eyes of the other person? Hahahahahahahaha! Chungwoon widened his red bloodshot eyes and put on a fishy smile on his lips. It wasnt even that. Before he knew it, his eyes were emitting heat seething with madness. As if the oue of the match between each other had already been decided. Are you talking so much about a topic that was only at this level! and. Ego! It was then. Sometimes, try talking arrogantly like before!! As it was, Chungwoon let out a purple sword with a maddening sneer on his lips. I mean, repeat all those bullshit about destroying the volcanic waves! Aaaaaaaaaagh-! Buildings erected in various ces in the volcanic wave copsed. The middle-aged guru in front of him was no longer interested in the ruins of the Volcano factions buildings or terrain. Its only about putting this side on the defensive and rushing to build a modest ego. And Iughed at him. You look like a psychopath. To be honest, I did the provocation, but it was dumbfounded. Wasnt the only thing I said to them that I would deal with them with the swordsmanship of the volcanic faction or that I would thoroughly destroy the volcanic faction? The only real damage is property damage such as buildings of the volcanic wave, but they cant discriminate and run amok like that. . Of course, I had some idea why he was doing that. Is my mind contaminated by divine power? In fact, having the divinity of a concept is like setting a ticking time bomb. Divinity located in the heart of the body greatly affects the mind ording to the type of concept. And because of the divinity of the concept, it could not be avoided even if it was an ancient deity that felt a mental impulse. Originally, based on the emotional agitation of the opponent, it would be possible to capture the victory. Perhaps it would be appropriate to aim for a gap and teleport and slit his head with an ability such as the powerful Sunbo. But this time I didnt mean to. Even if the ordeal of the secret wish is not alone, you will have to actively use martial arts to clear it anyway. Then it was decided what to do. Its the martial arts of the volcanic wave Its nothing else Its fun. Suddenly, he noticed that it wasnt too long before he got the result he wanted. I think I know roughly. Only then did I slowly fix the sword in my hand behind a faint smile. Maybe its like this. Unlike the swordsmanship Ive learned so far, it has a heterogeneous softness Aplished the achievement Schrly Swordsmanship Greatness. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] automatically activates when the conditions are satisfied. The level ofpensation obtained from achievements increases. Agility increases by 4. And when I saw the system message appearing in front of my eyes, I smiled. That is correct. Volcanic Sword. The essence of martial arts transmitted only within the volcanic wave. Because now I can use it perfectly. *** How much time has passed. Kwajijijijijik-! Hundreds of sword strikes came and went in the blink of an eye, and the aftermath of crushing thend urred. In fact, the fight between superhumans who have crossed the boundary between humans is no longer even a fight between swords. At this point, it is close to a fight for leadership between strong spirits that stems from the expression of will rather than swordsmanship. ! It was actually simr to that. Suddenly, the starlight flowing through the sword body engulfed each other as if it were greedy, creating a dazzling light and shing thoughts. Beyond the multiple manifestations of the change in the nature of the sword and the change in the nature of the sword beyond that, the blows of the strong swords that reached onew were colliding. Seeing this, Chungwoon smiled. Its pretty, but its boring. Its decided. At this point, the gap between them cannot be bridged. While a certain amount of time passed, Chungwoon judged the opponents skill beyond his half-mad mind. Even though the level of intention is high, there are no traces of learning strong qigong separately. Even if it is said that his mind is disturbed due to the divine power stored in his heart, Chungwoon is also one of the strongest masters. Before he knew it, he finished judging the young man in front of him as an insignificant person. Because Han Seong-yoon was unable to properly attack and took a one-sided defense in front of the famous Zaha sword fight of the Volcano faction. It has been that way ever since the beginning. Ive been bluffing for a long time with my trivial skills. Only then did Chungwoon feel a low sense of superiority and his eyes curved like a bow. Ill trample on your arrogant face soon! Kaaang! Then, the starlight formed on the de coveted each other. The sword of Cheongun poured out strong energy with the qualities of fantasy and pleasure. As the purplish starlight flowed along the swords trajectory, the strong air changed into the shape of plum blossoms and spurted out everywhere. Each time, the young man in front of him hit the sword with a slightly pensive expression, and as time passed more and more, Chungwoon caught a sense of difference. It was strange. What the hell is this? There is no binding. The consumption of strong energy was also enormous, so it was only natural that the other side should have already entered a state of exhaustion. Even Cheongwoon, who had taken various elixirs like drinking water, was now in a state where it was too much to pour his strength into the river. But there was another part that was really odd. Why cant I see any loopholes Suddenly, I couldnt find any loopholes in the young mans sword in front of me. no. To be more precise, every time he tried to break his opponents sword, for some reason, Zaha Swords Choshik lost his strength and was drawn into it. And Chungwoon was greatly shocked by that. Isnt Zaha Geomgyeol the highest level of swordsmanship! How could he not be able to withstand such trivial shedding! Originally, Zaha Geomgyeol is a martial art that has established itself as one of the upper-levelpatibility of Maehwa Sword. Correspondingly, Zaha Geomgyeol has such a level of difficulty that the prerequisite for initiation itself requires that you freely handle the change in the nature of Geomyeom. But blocking the end of Zaha Geomgyeol with just an informal shedding? In a word, it meant that the young man in front of him had realized the trick ofpetent steelmaking to a levelparable to that of Shinkokjeolhak. Theres no way Im going to be blocked by that kind of wormy shedding!! But he didnt admit it. Acknowledging that fact means admitting that you are defeated. Thats why Chungwoon made the sound of boiling water as if he were expressing his negative feelings, and spit out anger and deep hatred. Do you think you would admit it? Before he knew it, his eyes were bloodshot red again, and he was howling like a beast. You can handle the volcanic sword with that guys insignificant shedding? and. That cant be! As Cheongwoon drew his sword straight down, the air in the area turned purple and vomited out fever. Do you think you can get this off with that bastards goddamn graft! Jaha Gaebyeok (ϼ_V). The mystery of Zaha Geomgyeol, which is represented as one of the new construction studies of the volcano faction, was unfolded. In the blink of an eye, a purple river remained like an afterimage in the trail where the sword flowed, pouring out intense heat like the wrath of a giant. Its fun. But the purple glow did notst long. Is that also the sword of the volcanic wave? Han Seong-yoon, who had been quiet so far, said that as if he was interested, then slightly stretched out his sword. It was one of the movements that Chungwoon was very familiar with, as if he had seen it from somewhere. Han Seong-yoon moved with an interesting face as if he were reproducing an unfamiliar technique. That would be the case too Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Is it right to do it like this? It was because Han Seong-yoons sword was dyed in dark red light and was emitting heat as if opening up the world. And in the flow of time that felt as if that moment had been split, Chungwoon spat out words in shock. The product of his efforts in youth and old age, spent nearly 100 years in the Volcano Wave, was reproduced so easily. Its nothing else Jaha Gaebyeok The moment when the technology that only he could handle unfolded in front of his eyes. As it was, dark red starlight streamed down from the trajectory of Han Seong-yoons sword swing, emitting a destructive frenzy. Looking at the riot of dark red light that was shot in the blink of an eye, Chungwoon was able to realize what a monster in human skin was in front of him. ah. Even when I saw the starlight of the Gaebyeok approaching right in front of me as if it would burn my eyes, the thought continued without interruption. Thats it There was an inevitable existence that many powerful hooligans had been talking about that would one day appear. The first person in the world (µһ) was a transcendental person. *** The battle of life and death was over before anyone knew it. Is it because it somehow came to the outer part of the volcanic wave? Even though Cheongwoon, the best master of the Volcano Sect, was killed, nothing noisy happened because there were no spectators. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 0.17% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against an absolute master. Absorbed the spirit of the Volcanic Great Sword, Cheongun. . Chii-. Where the swords starlight had passed, the remnants of mad heat shimmered. There, Cheongwoon, who was qualified as the Hwasan First Sword, was also lying on the floor. Perhaps, it wont be long before the members of the Volcano Faction will know of the death of the leader, but since it is an official match made under mutual agreement (?), there will be no problem. So Achievement Volcano Destroying has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. Dexterity increases by 20. Now was the time to enjoy the rewards obtained by destroying the volcanic waves. One reward is definitely good. Really it was fun. Could it be because the part of the volcanic wave was half-ruined due to the sh between the rivers in an instant? I smiled when I saw the system message that appeared before my eyes. It was only now that he realized that he had brought his long-cherished ordeal closer to clearing. Is this the same as getting rid of apetitor? Probably, since one of the old file rooms called the main axis of Moorim was eliminated, the reward seems to be generous To be honest, it was very appealing. Did you know that such a great achievement would be aplished by only eliminating one volcanic wave? Maybe if you get rid of another of the old file rooms, you might get another big reward like this time. At this point, they spread it to the level of a generous tree? Its not even just this. When I think of the elixirs and secrets that are hidden rewards (?) hidden all over the volcanic wave, it was truly an appetizing event. Of course, I couldnt gather enough faith to create a new myth, which was one of the original purposes But even then, it was clear that if time passed and the old file room was finished, it would be possible toplete the myth rted to martial arts. At leastpared to the other ordeals, I was sure that there would be more ces to drink honey without thinking about it now. Thats great. and. Permanently increase stats by using the spirit of Volcano No. . Durability has increased by 47. Concept has increased by 4. Before I knew it, the final reward as sweet as dessert wasing in. Conditions satisfied. Transformation learning of the unique property was determined by random probability. Absorbs the unique property possessed by the volcanos first sword, Cheongun. One of the detailed effects obtained by Necromancy reaching a level beyond the borderline. It was an ability that could be obtained by consuming the spirits and extracting unique characteristics with random probability. Acquire the unique skill, Area of the Sword (A). Now, it was shining. Chapter 360 360. Seal Break (1) Conditions satisfied. Special acquisition of unique characteristics determined by random probability. Absorbs the unique characteristics possessed by Volcanos No. 1 Sword Cheongun . . I was already familiar with one of Necromancys new detailed effects. It was all the more so because I had looked at the effect of Tamcheon to check the growth of Necromancy anyway. DDetailed effect (11) C Covetousness. By consuming spirits, unique characteristics can be extracted with a random probability. If I had to ask, would it be the final stage of multifaceted ability growth? So far, each time the level of Necromancy went up one by one, skills or abilities that extracted abilities such as authority were acquired. This time around, the effect was no different. Is it possible to obtain unique characteristics under special conditions, just as the skills and powers inherent in the spirits were extracted? It was even possible to obtain unique characteristics with low probability, such as skill or power extraction. Just as the existing effects of Necromancy have been able to reap the opponents abilities with random probability One of the new detailed effects obtained this time, Tamcheon(؝), also had a strong tendency to ride luck to some extent. And thats not the end. Since entering the Trial of the Secret Wish, he has consumed a certain number of spirits, but he has not obtained any unique characteristics through Covetousness. That means one thing. Perhaps Tamcheon is that you can acquire unique characteristics with random probability only after meeting special conditions. The activation conditions are more difficult than I thought. Of course, its not that big of aint. Among the abilities that can be obtained as a challenger in the tower, isnt it the unique characteristic? Even if the level of necromancy has exceeded the limit, there is no way that a unique characteristic can be extracted with only one random probability. Still, being able to obtain unique characteristics is a great thing in itself. There was no need to be disappointed. Originally, the unique characteristic was the ability to climb the tower to the end with just one. It doesnt change the fact that you can get it in a fixed way, albeit a bit tricky. If so, it was the same that you could have multiple unique characteristics unlike others, even if it took some time to collect abilities. Then theres no need to worry. And there was a fact that he found out through a duel with Chungwoon, a long-time volcanic leader. It seemed that Tamcheon(؝) would activate only when dealing with enemies with divinity or higher than a certain level. Perhaps the enemy with divinity and the enemy with that divinity had to reach a certain level or higher to be strong enough to activate the quest. Of course, there had to be some other possibilities, but they are not very realistic. A rough guess is that enemies with more than a formal godhead will activate Tamcheon. At this point, Tamcheons value was sufficient. Even if the activation conditions of Tamcheon were difficult, it was amazing to be able to obtain the unique characteristics inherent in the enemys spirit. Even if you are not a challenger climbing the tower, it is satisfying to be able to acquire unique characteristics by dealing with strong enemies. Now I think Ive done enough research on Tamcheon Anyway, the higher you climb the tower, the more powerful enemies youll encounter, like a formal godhead, over and over again. Acquire the unique skill, Area of the Sword (A). Its time to focus on this side. Only then did I smile at the system message that appeared in front of me. *** Unique skills. Its a skill Ive never seen before. Even while climbing the tower, interest arose as it was a skill that had never been obtained even with unique abilities such as skill synthesis. Am I learning the unique characteristics of the challengers selected for the tower by converting them into a type of skill? In fact, it takes the form of a unique skill that has never been seen before but it wasnt hard to guess that this was no different from a unique characteristic. As it was written in the description of the detailed effect of Necromancy, the ability of the detailed effect called Tamcheon was that it could acquire the unique characteristics of others. In a word, it meant that the shell was just a skill, but it had the temperament of its own characteristics. When I actually checked the newly acquired unique skill, I knew right away that my guess was correct. Unique Skill C Sword Realm (A) Proficiency C 0% Basic Effect C A special battlefield can be constructed by activating the Sword Realm . The radius can be moved up to three times. Detailed effect (2) C Reduces all damage received within a fixed radius built into the sword realm by 10%. Detailed effect (3) C into the sword realm. Within the established fixed radius, all stats are increased by 10%. Detailed effect (4) C You can foresee the next action of the opponent who enters the fixed radius built into the sword area for up to 4 seconds. Detailed effect (5) C Within a fixed radius built into the realm of the sword, you can fight with most of your abilities other than the sword sealed. However, the user himself cannot use abilities other than the sword. Immediately after use, a cooldown of 7 days is granted.] What else is this It was amazing. It was unbelievable that it was a reward obtained by defeating an enemy close to mortals, such as the Volcanic First Sword. You can foresee your opponents actions for up to 4 seconds? In fact, it is not strange even if it ispared to the concept of divinity. And not only that, it is power beyond imagination to be able to fight with all abilities increased by 10% within a certain radius or with abilities other than the sword sealed within a certain radius. If it works against a higher level deity, its no different from a foul. Even if it was a divine power, if most of its abilities other than the sword were sealed, it would have no choice but to be cornered. Of course, if youre above a higher level of deity, you can undo the ability of the unique attribute There was a little bit of concern, but even taking that into consideration, its a great power. Thatll be resolved if I raise my level with something like < Spirit Tuning >, the transcendence myth I have. The moment when the unique skill Area of the Sword was activated and the effect was confirmed. The unique skill, Area of the Sword is activated. In the blink of an eye, a round area emitting red light spread from where I was standing as a starting point. After instinctively noticing that it was a kind of indicator line, I felt a new sensation squirm up at once. The feeling that even if you are a formal god in this realm, you can easily win by using only swordsmanship Is this the realm of swords? Only then did I finish understanding the unique skill, The Realm of the Sword. For the time being, the effect not listed in the description within the system seemed to be an overwhelming correction for the sword. At least within a certain interval formed by the unique skill Area of the Sword, it seems that the swordsmanship is greatly corrected. Its fun. And in addition, there were many advantages. For example, it was the foreknowledge of the actions of opponents who entered the realm of the sword, or preventing opponents within a certain radius from using skills other than the sword. But if there are advantages, are there also disadvantages? After I finished figuring out the realm of the sword, I realized something, and then I felt a deep regret. Even if I move, cant the area of the sword move along with it? It was simple. Inherent skill Sword Realm does not follow me even if this side moves out of the sword realm after activation. To put it in a word, it meant that the area of the sword was activated in one ce and was no different from the ability to build a camp for the purpose of engagement. Is it a kind of fixed area Then, the vulnerability increases. Originally, if the opponents evasion ability or maneuver ability was superior, it would have been difficult to apply the unique skill Sword Realm. However, if you have to activate a unique skill as if you are building a camp for the purpose of engagement, it is impossible to activate the ability unless the opponentes on your own. Still, there was no breakthrough at all. DDetailed effect (1) C The area where the sword is activated can be moved up to three times. I can move the area of the sword up to three times. The fixed radius of the unique skill Area of the Sword can be moved up to three times. After seeing that, I got some strength. Perhaps it could be used effectively by bringing the swords realm here at the point of greatest need during the battle. At least it will have room to act as one of the hidden daggers. I think its enough to use it for the purpose of blocking the opponents ability for a while in the middle of an engagement. Well, that was enough for now. As it was, I immediately wiped out the swords territory and kicked the ground. I rose high into the sky in an instant, and I lowered my head and looked down. This is an emergency! We have to summon all the disciples and build a medical examination Damn it. Bring the executioners who went down to the vige. Only then will we be able to stop that monster for a moment. Damn it How could we be suffering the disaster that only Sapa should have to go through Amotion was brewing. The volcanic wave continued with agitated voices, and conversations full of tension came and went. Then, standing on his feet in the air, he carefully looked down and saw a face he had seen before. Its still there. He was an elder of the Volcano faction. I remembered it because I was the one who said it was a freshman or something after seeing me use a heart sword. With a haggard face, like an old man on the verge of death, he seemed to be hastily giving instructions to his disciples of the Volcano Sect. Send a letter asking for support from the Murim Maeng and the Gu File Room! As the elder of the Volcano Sect, I grant you permission! So, Cheongwoon Jangmunin asked me to help him defeat that monster But thats for a while. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to move to a desired point within sight. Landing-. There is no need for that. what what what! Immediately after that, he used the Power of Shunpo and stood in front of the Volcano Sect Elder. Seeing me who suddenly appeared, the elder of the Volcano faction widened his eyes in fright and opened his mouth. As if he forgot what he had to say because he was so traumatized. Only then did I smile and continued. There will be no point in asking for help from any faction now. What the hell is that Because the victory or defeat of the army has been decided. and then. The Volcano factions long master has been defeated. It cant be And I won. . The moment the elder of the Volcano faction closed his mouth in disbelief. You know what that means, right? As it was, I looked around at the people scattered in the volcanic wave and said. The volcanic wave is now over. Extinction (T֮). The volcanic faction faced the cataclysm of extinction. I put it in my mouth without hesitation and put an end to it. *** The fuss was settled in an instant. When they realized that Cheongwoon, the greatest swordsman of Hwasan, had died, they were furious, but it didntst long. Perhaps there was a change of heart in the scene of the volcanic wave that waspletely destroyed, but it was rehabilitated (?) to better control anger, and it quickly became quiet. The Volcano Wave will be the gatekeeper for the next 40 years. Thats what the heck Until then, there shouldnt be any external activities in the Volcano faction, and if you run the Munpa in the volcano, everything will be destroyed again. In fact, I really want to get rid of the Volcanic Faction itself, but I heard from Baek Cheon-hyeok, the head of the Baek family, that there seems to be a master who knows about the Volcanic Faction. Even his personality is to some extent superior to those of the Volcano faction. Well, even if its not that, if the volcanic wave itself ispletely destroyed, the position of the Baek family could be difficult. So, the level of the Bongmun, which is close to the Immortal Gate as it is now, was enough. Of course, there were people who disagreed with him. Where does a psychopath dare to speak recklessly?! seven elders. The seven elders, who were considered the highest masters within the Volcano Faction, were like that. In fact, at the point where Cheongwoon, the greatest swordsman of the volcano, was defeated by me, the odds of winning were slim, so the seven elders could not stand their anger and expressed their anger. Do you think this side will ept that! Actually, I think even closing the door is a lenient measure. under-! You will! Arent you a madman who said that he would destroy the volcanic waves? So thats what you think! . But the spirit of the volcano is not broken. Cancer! How plum blossoms bloom even in the snow! Even if a cold winteres, the swordsman of the volcano will not give in!! So what do you mean? Letspete! And one of the seven elders said with his face flushed red and his mouth quivering. Even if the Volcano factions leader is defeated, it does not lead to the Volcanic factions defeat! At this point, I was curious about what bullshit they were going to say, so I kept listening to it. Are you serious? In an instant, my mind went nk. No I won a one-on-one match with the great master of the Volcano faction and even won the sword fight, so lets fight again? Its absurd to see me stepping out of my body when I told them to join forces because its okay to join forces, and then finally suggesting that we fight. . Is this the way the Murim people think? just like a psychopath. Still, the shocking aftereffects did notst long. It was because the faces of the Murim people he had seen while climbing the Tower of Trials shed through his mind one after another. Come to think of it, most of the Murim people I saw while climbing the tower were like this. you! Is there something wrong with anger control or impulse control or judgment? Damn it, you nerd! then there was some need to treat the symptoms of anger dysregtion. If you cant defeat the Seven Elders here, you wont have anything to take with you! and. Now I understand. What are you talking about knowing? All the people here have mental problems ? Poorly. ording to the experience I had while climbing the Tower of Trials, I was like an all-around cure for those who have difficulty controlling their impulses or anger. But you wont have to worry anymore. therefore. Even if its not the case, Im one of the masters of healing in this area. A master of treatment? If your head is full of problems, I think I can solve it. Theres no problem with Bibindos head, so how can you say that It cant be. It could be said that the Seven Elders of the Volcanic Wave in front of you met a good healer. Since before, you havent been able to grasp the situation and youve been talking nonsense, right? In fact, there will be no one as skilled as me here in improving anger control disorder. No matter how you look at it, its true that the elders there have mental problems. What the hell is that Perhaps after treatment, you wont be able to talk about the bullshit you talked about earlier. Come on,e on! wait for a sec! What the hell are you trying to do? Of course, since the old guru in front of me is a severely ill patient who cannotmunicate, physical procedures will be the main focus Mental treatment. It didnt matter. People say that physical therapy is the most effective traditional medicine. I feel like Ive heard that from time immemorial. maybe. dont say anything. In any case, there would be no treatment as appropriate as this to fix their nasty mind. Divine < Word of Word > is used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of holy power is consumed when you use a word that interferes with the logic of the world. Kneel down. Next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! An overwhelming force mmed into the ground as if it would crush the entire area of the volcanic wave. Chapter 361 361. Breaking the seal (2) Divine < word spirit > is used. You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words. It will work. Kneel down. The moment he finished speaking with a smile as soon as he activated the Divine < Unryeong >. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, an overwhelming force struck as if to crush the entire volcanic wave. In fact, when the invisible pressure arrived due to the divine < Lord of Words >, the buildings of the volcanic wave copsed one after another. It was no different from the people standing on thend of the volcanic wave. Unable to withstand the power of the divine spirit that suddenly arrived as if to crush the volcanic wave, he spat out a voice full of pain. Kuk Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! I cant breathekekekeekbuy me Kung. The disciples of the Volcano Faction copsed one after another before long. There was not even anything to call resistance. He just sat down on the floor, letting go of his sword, as if breathing was painful. The swordsmen of the volcanic faction in front of them had lost even the expression of their rage. Only then did I put a smile on my lips. Actually, this isnt the right thing. Anyway, the skills of the disciples of the Volcano faction were not very high. Except for the Seven Elders of the Volcano Sect, it was only at a ridiculous level. A state where a single change in the nature of a sword skill or a sword sword can lead to multiple manifestations of a change in nature, albeit with difficulty. If so, it was just not the same level. If you look at the challengers climbing the tower, its close to the early 10th floor or the mid-10th floor, but I cant resist it. Of course, the Seven Elders of the Volcano Sect had a high level. Unlike the Swordsmen of the Volcano Sect, who fell into a state of incapacity to fight without even noticing, they were still standing like the Seven Elders of the Volcano Sect. Considering that, in fact, the divinity < Emperor of the Word > also applies to higher deities, it is like showing tremendous will for a mortal without a divinity. Even though the concept divinitys abilities were slightly weakened due to the penalty, its surprising. but for a while. Even if I did, it wouldnt make any sense. At that, I spoke to the seven elders again with my eyes shining coldly. The god of transcendence and death looks at the mortals who struggle without meaning. [Did you not hear what I said? ] And. [Kneel now. ] next moment. Wow! Kuh-! Keuk keuh uh uh He uh uh! This crazy monster! Kuck-! Each of the Seven Elders of the Volcano Squad copsed on the spot, uttering pain-filled astonishment. In addition to the divinity < Eonnyeong >, the status as an ancient deity has been slightly revealed. Even if the other side is mere mortals, no matter how high-level and noble martial arts they have trained, there is no way they can withstand it. On the contrary, the fact that they made them reveal even a little of their status as ancient deities must have been a counter-evidence that they were gnomes who had reached the edge of mortality. Then I smiled and spoke. Looks like you understand the situation now. A voice devoid of divinity. Proof that the divine power as an ancient deity was not dwelled at all. However, the Seven Elders of the Volcano Faction sat down on the floor and trembled like aspen trees in fear. Do you still think that the fire gate of the Volcano Sect is just stupid? That that that Dont get me wrong. that I keep you alive here. Its because I have other thoughts. It was sincere. Perhaps, if I hadnt thought of Baekhakgeomseon in Shandong Baekga, the volcano wave itself would have been destroyed so that no trace could be found. I just showed mercy to the Volcano faction because there was a separate bar that was thinking about how to revive the Baek family. It doesnt mean much to just revive the Baek family. It was worth it. The ordeal of the secret wish that originated from the manager was iparable to the ordeal of the normal tower. Actually, the reward you can get from the ordeal of the secret wish depends on the managers feelings. Even if the Baek n familys prosperity and revenge are achieved, if it doesnt like the Baek Hak Geomseon, the reward wont be great. Then there was a need to tune it for the best results. Of course, I dont know much about how the Moorims power is revived but I seemed to have a vague idea of what to do here. If I had to argue, should I say that vicious deities are reviving the Baek family just as religions are growing? Anyway, the revival of the Baek family does not have an absolute reference point. The vicious deities Ive seen so far tended to persecute many mortals to gain faith from fear rather than rule over proper religion. Ive actually seen it do that. Didnt the usurper, who was the final boss of the 18th floor stage, also make a base for himself to rise to the ranks of a god by making a world close to destruction? This time it was my turn to do so. If the revival of the Baek family is decided from a rtive point of view, things will be easier. It was simple. If we had to instill overwhelming awe in the Shandong Baekga, there was a need to boast of a level of military power appropriate to it. If thats the case, just make it like a volcanic wave and throw it away. In fact, it is only necessary to enshrine the n with a stele in a fair manner under the name of the Baek family without leaving a single faction in Murim. Cant we just shut down all the forces within Moorim? Even the benefits that will follow in the process are not small. Still, there will be secrets and hidden martial arts in various Moorim ns, and there will also be rare elixirs containing their own secret arts. If you can get them all at once, wouldnt this be a losing business? Having finished thinking like that before I knew it, I smiled and looked down at the seventh elder of the Volcano Sect and continued. Come to think of it, its not like we cant shorten the period of the Volcano Factions confinement. Can you shorten the duration of the Fire Volcano faction? If you pay a little bit of money, you can shorten the period of enshrinement of the Volcanic Faction by about 10 years. Ten years! dont tell me! So, if I can revive the text, I will pay the price Only then did I say with a smile. Everything you have. ? Give me everything the Volcano has. The hard fighting is over. Shall we look at something simple first? Originally, there is a saying that Mt. Geumgang is also an after-dinner view. Now is the time to automatically farm the hidden rewards (?) of the Volcano Wave. *** Achievement Negotiating power that surpasses the devil has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 1. As time passed, automatic farming ended quickly. Isnt it a situation where you have to offer all the treasures in the volcanic wave to me? That would be able to shorten the duration of the volcanic waves enve a little. Anyway, at the point of having to please this side, the Seven Elders of the Volcano Sect had no choice but to show an obedient attitude. Right away Is this the elixir of the volcanic wave? like now. Its fun. A reception room prepared inside the volcanic wave. Before I knew it, there were boxes lined with plum blossom patterns engraved on the table. At that, I looked at the round pills in the boxes stacked on the table one after another. Maehwadan Grade: B+ A magic potion bestowed on promising swordsmen of the volcanic faction. When taken by a person whose basic magical power level is below [150], her magical ability increases by +15. After consumption The impurities umted in the bodys bloodstream also partially disappear, and the fatigue umted for a long time also disappears. low elixir. The soft pink plum blossoms have the appearance of dumplings rather than a little elixir. However, contrary to its modest appearance, even the lowest-level elixir in the Volcano Wave has an unusual effect. Still, to some extent, I wonder if it will be of sufficient help to those whock magical power. No matter how restrictive it is, to be able to increase one s mana this much It was huge. Isnt it hard to see a reward that increases magic power to such an extent even for a challenger who climbs the Tower of Trials? To be honest, I got more benefits than I expected just by getting a lot of plum trees . Seolmaedan Grade: A+ An elixir bestowed on renowned experts of the Volcanic Sect. When taken by a person whose basic magical power level is below [300], her magical ability increases by +30. After consumption The impurities umted in the bodys bloodstream disappear to some extent, and fatigue does not umte easily. It looks like a round shape of colored plum blossoms. At this point, even at first nce, it should be said that you can notice that it is an unusual ghost. Seolmaedan, like Maehwadan, had restrictions on use, but the level of increase in magical power was different. Jasodan Grade: S+ An elixir that contains the essence of Alchemy, which is only allowed for use by long masters of the Volcanic Sect . It rises. After taking it, most of the impurities umted in the bloodstream in the body disappear, and fatigue hardly umtes. The appearance of a mysterious elixir that creates purple light. Its a performance that cant bepared to something like the Volcanic Waves Maehwadan or Seolmaedan. This is to the point that even a challenger who climbs the tower cannot get his hands on it unless he is a fairly strong person. What Of course, Jasodan also had restrictions like Maehwadan or Seolmaedan, which required a certain level of magical power to be used. But even that didnt mean much. In fact, if it is a restriction that cannot be used only when the level of magic power exceeds the four-digit level, then it would be difficult to use it at the level of a god. If so, it was a minor problem. Anyone who is not at the level of a transcendental magical power that is equivalent to a formal godhead can increase the magical power by +100 And. Thats great. Only then did I finish checking with a smile on my lips. In addition to these, he brought goods and weapons that were said to be treasures of the Volcano faction, but he was not interested. All the hidden rewards in the Volcano Wave were obtained with this. There is no need to take care of things except for things that look roughly expensive or that seem to help the Baek family. As soon as I finished the judgment, a feeling of satiety spread throughout my body. At this point, I wonder if I can make Baek Seol-hwa strong enough, let alone the Baek family. It was worth it. Maybe just giving the riches from the Volcano to the Baek family would be enough to help rebuild the family. And Snow White will do the same. Because she has not climbed the tower yet, her skills are poor, but the story will be different if she takes the elixir of the volcanic wave. At least among mortals, wouldnt it be the level to discuss the strongest? Is this the feeling of raising a disciple? It was expected. In fact, isnt her lumbering enough to climb the tower almost to the top and win the qualification to be a manager? If so, it was clear that she would be able to be as strong as the White Crane Swordsman if she were given practical experience and a level ofpensation appropriate to it. But I still dont feel like Imcking something Just I cant help it. If I want to grow Snow White to the level I want, this is just not enough. Should I just take the elixirs from other ces since I came all the way here? Only then did I look at one of the Seven Elders of the Volcano Faction standing in front of me in fear. Come to think of it, did you say that the Volcano faction sent a letter asking for help from the other forces? That that that Theres nothing to be afraid of. . As if he hade up with a very crazy idea. Im only making one suggestion because it would be unfair to be punished for only one volcanic faction. What the hell is that If the Volcano faction has to stay sealed for nearly 30 years anyway, dont you hate seeing other factions grow until then? The Seven Elders of the Volcano Squad looked this way as if they were saying something with hardenedplexions. So lets trade for mutual benefit. And I said it with a smile. Besides the Volcano faction, there must be a Gu File room that you know of, right? Thats right Thats enough. ? It was simple. The location of the Volcano Squad could be identified based on the aura of the Volcano Squad challenger he had seen in the Labyrinth of Giant Trees. If I hadnt had that experience, I wouldnt have even been able to jump into space with a volcanic wave. And ording to that, I couldnt even know where the rest of the munpas except for the volcanic faction were located. Actually, its because I dont know the way well. So Can the Volcanic Faction direct us to the other Gu File Rooms? In a word, it meant that you had to use the volcanic wave as a guide to move on to the next stage. That way, you, too, will have a gate like the Volcano Wave. Now, besides the Volcano faction, its time to farm the hidden rewards in other munpas. Really. Youll probably be able to get all sorts of elixirs from the munpa youll see in the future. It must be fun. Thats very certain. Chapter 362 362. Breaking the seal (3) Chong Nampa (K). After jointly preventing the rise of the Cheonma Shinkyo ten years ago, it became one of the centers of the Gupailbang. Compared to the Hwasan faction, the Jongnam faction was one of the highly prosperous Taoist schools, so that its skills and reputation were not inferior to those of the Hwasan faction. Not even that. The Chong Nampa is a prestigious family with many martial arts of ascension, such as the Thirty-six Swords under the Heaven or the Yuun Sword. So, isnt it to maintain a rtionship like a match for the volcanic faction? In fact, whether it was because of the heroic act of helping to prevent the rise of the Chunma Shinkyo or because of its military achievements, the Jongnam sect could not perish. Could I be dreaming? okay. It should have been. Jong-Nam faction would have been a Moon faction that could never disappear. if it hadnt been for a sudden disaster to strike the Jongnam faction. Hyeonjong, a long-time schr of the Jongnam faction and with the nickname Ungwanggeomseon, stared nkly in front of his eyes. What the hell is this Quaaaaaaaang-! In the blink of an eye, a dark red river swept across the Jongnampa and screams erupted. Quaaaaaaagh! Ah ah ah ah . A monstrous monster! A monster appeared in Jongnam!! Kuck-! It was the sound of the disciples of the Chong Nam faction suffering. As befits a prestigious master who has produced countless masters so far, even among the disciples of the Jongnam faction, even among the third generation, there were some who knew how to use swordsmanship. Even the true masters of the Jong Nampa reached the level of geom-yeom, which is beyond the change of the nature of the sword, and were able to express multiple manifestations of the change of the nature. If so, Jongnams disciples deserved to be invincible. What the hell am I looking at? However, the glory of Jongnampa, which soared high into the sky, fell in an instant. Almost none of the disciples of the Jong-Nam faction stood in their ces, and the buildings of the Jong-Nam faction also copsed in half. Even the elders of the Jong-Nam faction were defeated and copsed everywhere. What seemed like a natural disaster was a man-made disaster, not a natural phenomenon like a typhoon or earthquake. It happened by just one person. Did you say this was Jongnampa? And Hyeonjong swallowed his saliva as he saw the cause of the disaster in front of him. Thanks to the introduction from the Volcano Squad, I finished the dance quickly. Thats not enough, the long-term writers of the Jongnam faction didnt evene forward. This is what the heck Anyway, the rain is over. Before anyone knew it, the monster that had knocked down countless disciples of the Chong Nam faction was approaching with staggering steps. A lucky swordsman. So, did you say Hyeonjong? Thats right Soman Are you dissatisfied with the results of the dance? Isnt it? That Hyeonjong put his hand on the sword wave as he red at the monster covered in the young mans shell. Having been trained for nearly a hundred years, Yuyun Sword has now reached the same level as a Taoist skill. Just by Hyeonjong pulling out his sword and swinging it, the swords trajectory would soon be a single cloud and ughter the enemy. In response, Hyeonjong tried to fight with his sword while watching the disciples of the Chong Nam faction and the elders of the Chong Nam faction who had fallen beyond it. No. If you have to ask, youre right that I tried to do that. Because Hyeonjong was unable to test it out in the end. Try it? Thats The condition of the Jong-Nam Faction was to fight one-on-one. I did, but it would be difficult to ask to fight again. moon moon-. Hyeonjong realized that he was trembling as he tried to remove the sword hanging from his waist. A bizarre sensation, as if jumping into an abyss with no end in sight. In an instant, Hyeonjong recognized that he could not win against the monster in the form of a young man in front of him. Only then did Hyeonjong lower his head and answer quietly. Defeat did Cow Really? ording to your condition of military service, Jongnam faction will serve the next 40 years Thats fortunate. and. But dont you want to shorten the period of enshrinement? It was then. If this side gives us what we want, we can shorten the period of enshrinement of the sect Nampa by about 10 years. What is that? Simple. The young man in front of Hyeonjong smiled as if it was nothing, and delivered a whisper more devilish than the devil. Its just because theres something else I want to receive as a victory reward. Its nothing else Do you have the elixir? . Give me this. It was Han Seong-yoon. *** Time has passed for about a day. Aplished the achievement Destroying the sectarian wave. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. Muscle strength increases by 20 . He neatly sealed the Jongnam faction. Should I kill the long gatekeeper like the volcano wave? I did, but Well, I was worried about this for nothing. Thanks to the introduction of the Volcano faction to the Jongnam faction, there was no need to bother boasting. By the way, after that, I got several Yuundan (B-)s that were made with a unique technique to get rid of Jongnam factions. Yuundan Grade: B- It is the secret elixir of the Zhongnan sect. Based on magical operation, when taken, magical ability increases by up to +10. However, if you consume Yuundan multiple times, the effect of taking it It is greatly reduced, so you wont be able to see the effect of increasing your magic powerter. Compared to the volcanic wave, it was close to an insignificant level. Still, there was no usage limit, so I thought I could use it, so I took all of the elixirs brought by the Jongnam Faction. At this point, there is nothing to spend a lot of time on. In fact, if you knew exactly where the old file room was, getting rid of one faction was easy now, perhaps thanks to the umted experience (?). Achievement Breaking the Qingsong Wave has been achieved.] Achievement Breaking the Waves of the Blue Sky has been achieved.] Aplished the achievement Breaking the Common Wave] It was actually like that. Youre going to seal Cheongseong? bastard-! This is the sacred ce of the Taoists, and it is the door that stopped the evil of the Demonic Cult! If youre going to get rid of the hearing loss, youll have to kill me first Sudden-! Dogs! The fortune teller group will not disappear as long as this Four Day Sword Master exists! I dont know where he came from, but I wont let him live now Sudden-! OK! You mean youre a living immortal? Thene and see! Today, as a long sentence of my joint faction, I will cut off your limbs and tear them to shreds Sudden-! Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 0.47% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against a number of absolute masters. Absorbed themand of Cheongseong new sword Jeok Heoja. Absorbed themand of Seo Ji-hyeok, .. Absorbing the spirit of the demonic swordsman, Hyun Woo-baek Its amazing. After another day has passed. In an instant, three of the old file rooms were sealed. Somehow, in a matter of days, I broke several munpa, but my emotions were not shaken. Because I was aware that it wasnt a job that would take a lot of time anyway. It feels like a kind of bonus stage. It was worth it. In the first ce, I climbed around the second half of the 10th floor of the tower and achieved the pinnacle of martial arts. Even after gaining more and more experience over time, I have never lost a battle of skill. Even if a high-ranking godhead came, he would not be able to defeat this side, so there was no way he would feel difficulties in a duel with a mere master. The real reward never ends. However, that did not lower the level ofpensation. On the contrary, unlike the fact that there was no hardship on this side, the number of rewards that came into hand was increasing. It was even more like this because, unlike the Volcano faction or Jongnam faction, there were many things other munfa could obtain besides elixirs. Youve been misunderstanding the Murim people up to this point At this point, the negative image of the Murim people that youve built up to now is about to disappear. In fact, arent most Moorim people serious about charity work? strong self-esteem. A world where everything is decided only by the power of ones own. Somehow, the more time passed, the more I liked this ce. Really Just by winning a duel, this side can get whatever they want Its a ce full of romance, really. It was like a honey pot. Even somehow, I was able to get a lot of items by taking care of all kinds of precious objects without leaving a single one. Of course, even so, it is an item that will disappear like a mere illusion once the ordeal of the earnest wish is over. There are many ways to deal with useless items anyway. Is it the wisdom of a veteran challenger who has climbed the tower for a long time? Theres no need to worry. At most, it was possible to use the fake treasures that were only reproduced by the tower. The skill Steel Feed is activated. Immediately Complete absorption. Muscle strength increases by 14. Agility increases by 18. Stamina increases by 19. Durability by 21 It rises. Magic power increases by 24. Like this. Its neat. All stat increases are not bad. After all, isnt physical ability and magical power the most necessary to proceed with the ordeal of a longing? Even if that wasnt enough, as soon as he returned to the tower, the increase in his stats obtained through abilities such as eating steel would be applied, albeit through a tuning process. If so, it wasnt a loss. Its okay to invest in divine power for things that are ambiguous and cant be changed into abilities by eating steel. Divine power is also the same. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect, Offering, is activated. Received a total of 14 skills from herself. Reces the corresponding abilities into divine power and umtes them in the heart. After changing the items donated from various munpas into divine power, an arc line was drawn around his mouth. At this point, I should stop by Moorimter. It made me want to visit the real Moorim that would be outside the tower at least once. Even Murim, which was only reproduced by the Tower of Trials, is so friendly. How much more can you get from a truly real Moorim? Perhaps the real Moorim is a paradise overflowing with honey, just like this ce. This time its just a light field experience. So Lets finish the preliminary survey at this point. Its a little disappointing, but the food tour ends at this point. Im really looking forward to the day I go to Moorim. After all, the really delicious ce is outside the tower. *** Dark clouds were hanging over the world. ?Indeed, hell has arrived in Gangho. As if to announce it, an ominous story was quietly raising its head. One of the stories of Nadon when the news that the Hwasan faction and the Jongnam faction were in Bongmun was announced. However, Neung Woon-ja, a descendant of the vanished Jeonjin faction, thought it was a fake rumor. In fact, since the Hwasan faction and Jongnam faction defeated the Cheonma Shinkyo, which had risen ten years ago, they had a position that no one could touch. Even if the Heavenly Demonic Church goes out again, theres no way theyll be able to touch a ce like the Volcano Sect or the Jong-Nam Sect. If thats the case, how could the Volcano faction or the Jong-Nam faction hold each other for 40 years? Even that was not enough, and it was even heard that the munpa belonging to the old school, such as the Cheongseong faction, the fortune-changing faction, or themunal faction, had perished. A match that took ce within three days at most was something that could not happen even if a demon, not a heavenly horse, came, so Neungunja thought that false rumors were flourishing. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all. Thats how it should be normal But thats for a while. What the hell is this? Unknowingly, Lungunja escaped to the entrance of Kunlunpa and had no choice but to break into a cold sweat. . That would be the case too Kuk! Hee! A freak monster-! Oh donte! Now, until the elders arrive, we have to stop that monsterQuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The scene that appeared before my eyes was literally like ruin itself. Kkwajijijijijik! The road to hell. It unfolded in such a way that there was no choice but to exin it. Just by swinging a sword, space splits, buildings copse, and the terrain changes. Even that was not enough, the sword poured out starlight and swept thend, and invisible des were tearing apart buildings everywhere. Is this truly Gengar, a martial art that humans can possess? The old man raised his head and looked at one ce. In fact, a young man with the impression of calmly sinking on top of the copsing roof of the building was swinging his sword and pouring out starlight. Unlike the rivers that Neungunja has seen so far, the dark red starlight shimmers as if it would stain the world with death. Those who saw it couldnt help but open their eyes. What is that? It looks like announcing the end of the world. The moment a young man with a calm impression wielded the starlight of the end full of darkness. As if the ck starlight was about to paint over the world, it was shot with overwhelming magical power. ! My God That was the end of the Kunlunpa that Neungunja remembered. *** If there is a beginning, does it have an end? Achievement Caller of the End has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement increases. A device (A+) is created. The end of the bonus stage was approaching as if there was no ce to drink honey anymore. Newly gathered tales have umted in a sufficient amount to create a myth. Calction of a myth based on the actual result and Shinto belief. And, ordingly, a new myth was obtained. Is it thanks to the many donations from the old file room, which somehow feels like a charity? Originally, I knew how to get Shinhwa only after getting rid of all the old files, so the achievement itself belonged to the fast axis. The Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > has beenpleted. The Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > is umted in Holy Power . It consumes holy power upon sight and absorbs all life within a certain radius. From now on, the effect of < Sentence > will be added to Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation. When < Sentence > is activated, it consumes holy power to It can corrupt the opponents character. But it was just an extremely evil myth that had nothing to do with martial arts. What I had tough at him as if I was dumbfounded. At this point, wasnt it necessary to obtain a myth rted to martial arts? At most, he only voluntarily received donations from the Murim people, but to say that he was the incarnation of the end . Why did you get this? anything else. Chapter 363 363. Breaking the seal (4) Looking at the system message that appeared in front of me, I smiled. Achievement Caller of the End has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement increases. A device (A+) is created. . To be branded as the one who calls the end for sealing off volcanoes and jongnams at most? What is this again? It was unfair. In fact, if you look at it closely, didnt the munpa who should have been in the middle of the day, didnt it end with a light request like a cotton bat called bongmun (?). Even not only the sword faction in Shaanxi, such as the Huashan faction and the Zhongnan faction, but also the giant powers of othernds ended more peacefully than expected. At least thats what this side of it looked like. I did, but what kind of mockery is this? So absurd. Of course, each faction suffers a little bit of property damage during the process of enshrinement To be honest, isnt this the most peaceful ending? Considering the records of smashing other ces while climbing the tower, this was done as mildly as possible. At least the fact that there were survivors or witnesses left a lot of people watching. But the system doesnt think so? The Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > has beenpleted. The Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > is umted in Holy Power . It consumes holy power upon sight and absorbs all of the life force within a certain radius. From now on, the effect of < Sentence > will be added to Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation. When < Sentence > is activated, it consumes holy power to It can corrupt the opponents dignity. I could not help but lick my lips after checking another system message that appeared in front of me before I knew it. The incarnation of the end Originally, since the newly acquired myth actively utilized martial arts, I thought it would be rted to martial arts, so it was all the more so. Id never expect to get a myth that has nothing to do with martial arts, contrary to expectations. Shall we say that it is a bit regrettable in many ways? Originally, he wanted to obtain a mythology rted to martial arts that could be added to a power skill such as the Honwon Demon Sword. Since there are already many myths rted to divinity anyway, it would be beneficial to obtain a myth rted to martial arts that can create more overwhelming variables. Isnt it a level that cant be used though Of course, there was no way to do it. Even if it was not the system message that appeared in front of my eyes, I could notice that the faith that was already in my body had transformed into a myth. At this point, there is no longer any way to turn back, so its better to find out what youve gained than toin. Then it was decided what to do. It cant be helped. As it was, I looked at the newly acquired rewards as quickly as possible. Skill C Device of the end (A+) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C The power of the end is mixed with the divinity in the users body. Reduces the rted resistance level by 10%. Apocalypse device. The contents of the skills obtained through the achievement The One Who Calls the End are extremely neat. Perhaps the skill Apocalypse Device (A+) seems to mix some destructive power with divinity There didnt seem to be much noticeable change. There is no particr part of the body that needs to change. Of course, there is no change at all. The power of the apocalypse must have been clearly mixed with the divinity in the body before I knew it, but when I lightly exuded the divinity in the body, I noticed a difference. As if to symbolize the apocalypse itself, an ominous ck haze mixed with divinity. Anyway, since the divine power I possessed was basically dark red because it was greatly influenced by the divine < death >, it seems that nothing has changed much. Even the mixing of the powers of the end seems to be close to the level of subsidizing the effect of the divine < Death >. There are a few things Im a bit disappointed about, but Still, it might be useful if mixed with the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Still, it was well worth using. Being able to reduce enemies divinity-rted resistance by 10% Unlike the basic activation effect of the skill, I definitely liked the detailed activation effect of the skill. Its not a bad power to be able to cut down the opponents holy-rted resistance. And thats not all. Even more so in the battle with the godhead. In fact, by activating the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, it can be used against ancient gods. If so, that meant only one thing. Its not different This can also be used against an ancient deity. Even if the opponent is an ancient deity, it can lower the resistance rted to divinity. Its fun. ancient deity. Even if one has reached a state infinitely close to immortality, that does not symbolizeplete immortality. If you can lower the opponents high resistance to concept divinity, it will surely lead to victory. I finished checking my skills with a light smile. I hoped that this skill could be used as a hidden trick in a desperate fight against an ancient deity out there. and then. Now, whats left is the newly acquired myth. The moment when I confirmed the effect of Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End >. What I had tough at him because I was dumbfounded. Really, why did you get this? It was worth it. The effects of < The End > and < Sentence > attached to the Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > didnt go well with us. In fact, isnt it the ability to absorb the life force itself, as if not letting any living beings within a certain radius live? Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < End >. . From now on, the effect of < Sentence > will be applied to the divine operation of challenger Han Seong-yoon. When < Sentence > is activated, you can consume divine power to corrupt the rank of a specific opponent. It was actually like that. Deed-! As soon as Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > was activated, a hellish scene was created. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! If I had to argue, should I say that it is not like the incarnation of the apocalypse, but more like a reaper who just takes away lives? Uh Suddenly, the green grains that rose from all over thend swirled and were sucked in this way. Perhaps this is the effect of absorbing the life force of the mythical < Incarnation of the End > but before I knew it, thend became dry and cracked in ces as if it had eaten all the nutrients of thend, and then I saw that even a piece of grass was turned to ashes and crushed. I felt remorse. Can this be like this? No. At this point, I cant even feel that its a certain limit. In other words, it destroys even the foundation of life. In fact, seeing that it was tantly sucking up the life force as if not leaving even a weed growing on thend, it seemed like it would bring about the destruction of the real. No matter how much I did, I didnt use my strength this far But I had no choice but to stop raising my voice as if I was in trouble. ? kuk-! C Hee! A freak monster-! Oh donte! -Now, until the elders arrive, we have to stop that monster Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Ah That would be the case Isnt that also? because it felt like I hade too far to feel remorse. ***Open room (ؤ). One of the main forces of Murim, a political factionposed only of beggars. In fact, thanks to having the most unique position among the old file rooms, the opening was able to have a unique position among the forces of the same hierarchy. C The information power of openness is worthy of being called the best in the world. Even a lot of the hooligans of the rivers praise openness so much. In fact, it was. Even if it happened in a far away ce, it can be said that you can be the first to hear about it. Like the public opinion, the information power of openness itself was certainly enormous, so there was no problem at all. Huh. Just What kind of dog shit is this again? It just doesnt bring good news. Hwasanpa, Jongnampa, Kunryunpa, Cheongseongpa, Jeomchangpa, Gongpa Gwanggae, who can be called the heir to the opening, smiled at the letter in front of him. Six of the old school families went extinct in just a few days Gwang-gae frowned and said as if he was dumbfounded to a certain Sagyeol-gae who brought the letter. Hey Hey, do you report without reviewing the content? Do you think this makes sense? huh? Who is the bastard who wrote this? A sneer hung over Gwanggaes mouth before he knew it. Im so dumbfounded It was justified. The beggars in this bastards bunta asked me to write a report, so what kind of bullshit did they sit down? Because the content of the letter he saw was not something that could be understood throughmon sense. hey. That yes Gwang-gae looked at the downcast beggars face and continued with anger. Do you think it would be possible to wipe out more than half of the old file rooms within a few days at best? But its true What? actually? Have you really lost your conscience? Even the evil beast who wiped out the Volcano Wave and the Jong-Nam faction in Shaanxi ran all the way to Yunnan in one night and eliminated the Jeom Chang-pa? What is this? Thats If you look at this and just look at the contents, it sounds like a story about a monster that crosses space somewhere, right? huh? Why do you think that a god who even uses a mind sword blew away all the volcanoes and jongnams! Anyway, saying nonsense Gwanggae slumped on his chair as if he was dumbfounded and said with a sigh. Whoa. Still, its not apletely false report, is it? Only then did Sagyeolgae nod his head and reply as if he was unfair. yes! In fact, Shaanxi and Yunnan branches of openness are leading to numerous sightings. Thats done. Anyway, are you sure that six of the Gupabangs are Myomen? Ah yes. In fact, the period of enshrinement is just too long . In fact, extinction would be right. Was it forty or thirty years? At that point, its not Bongmun, but Myolmun. Gwanggae clicked his tongue and frowned. They said that the key members of the Munpai were killed by the only enemy Suddenly, a deep greed was revealed in Gwang-gaes eyes. I dont know what kind of assassin he is, but I think hes worth beating Its nothing else A beast of a beast who said that he alone destroyed the Volcano faction, Jongnam faction, and several Mun factions. Gwang-gae came up with the idea to beat him alone. It didnt seem too difficult. Looking at the contents of the report, it seems that some worm-like assassin was raiding or something Gwanggae smiled bitterly and rolled his eyes. Its ridiculous to make such a fuss about it. Currently, the contents of the report from the Bunta of Opening in various ces are not realistic. To think that the majority of the old ns were wiped out by just one person in a matter of days? Isnt it a sound that seems toe out of the mouth of a drug dealer in a market ce or a storyteller who only deals with absurd stories? I want because there are only unrealistic stories. Then there was only one answer. It must be an illusion. Gwanggae thought that the reports, which did not look like peoples movements, were fake. There must have been some information confusion in the opening bunta. Not to mention cancer. Thats because you can understand it to some extent. No ,mon sense tells us that there is no way that one person could wipe out as many as six munpas in a matter of days. The contents of the book will be closer to fake than real. Its just that one of the Sapa groups started a war, or an assassin raided the Mun faction and drove six of the Gupa groups into the Bongmun. Perhaps a groups simultaneous raids were misunderstood as an attack by a certain master, or an assassin harmed the key members of a major faction Then theres nothing to be afraid of. Gwang-gwa was confident enough. At that point, its worth dealing with. It was worth it. Openness is a Moorim faction that uses numerical superiority as a long-term strategy. Perhaps, even if a group of sapas started a war, if they gathered openness, they would be able to quickly end the chaos no matter where they were. It didnt matter even if it was the performance of some great assassin. I dont know where the assassin came from, but if this body kills me, itll be suitable for being promoted as a Moorim hero. Currently, Gwanggae is in the state of being at the height of transcendental heights as the aftermath of opening. As long as no monsters who were at the level of absolute masters of the past suddenly appeared, he was also able to perform at the level of an elder of a huge munpa. There is no need to be afraid of mere assassins. Its about assassination anyway, so if you prepare enough, you can ovee it. On the contrary, Gwanggae was hoping that the assassin would attack the opening and make things bigger. Hmm Only then will he be able to make a name for himself as a new hero of opening up. Im looking forward to the reputation Ill get from beating that beast. The moment when Gwang-gae smiled with anticipation at him. Deed! ? Suddenly, I felt something like an earthquakeing from outside the building, and then a beggar entered the office panting. Gwanggae-nim! and. We found an intruder from outside! You must get out of here! Intruder? yes! Now, hes the guy who came to Open Buntaju saying he had something to do. Its a freak monster! We cant really deal with it You said you wanted to see this side? Gwanggaeughed out loud as if he had noticed something before the beggar finished his words. hahaha! Thats right! I think you know whats going on! good very good! Before I knew it, the light of joy was shining on Gwang-gaes face. Even the sky is helping this body now! If it was an enemy who suddenly burst into the opening, there was only one person who could guess. Are you saying that youre going to open up to the subject of a vicious beast? pleural fluid. So In the past few days, an assassin appeared who said that he had almost destroyed six of the old files. Only then did Gwanggae feel that the time hade for him to exercise his skills, and stood up with his mouth twitching. I will go myself! Gwanggaes eyes were stained with murderous intentions, and he strode out with the iron club lying next to him. A hawk is the medicine for a mad dog that has suddenly invaded! and. oh oh oh oh oh oh! Just like that, Gwanggae kicked open the door of the building roughly and started screaming. In fact, it is the maddening smile that is the symbol of Gwanggae, which is the origin of the nickname Gwanggae. A roar continued as if showing off Gwang-gaes crazy temper. Ha ha ha ha ha! Come on, you bastard bastard! Hurry up and bow down in front of this Gwanggae-nim and quietly die But thats for a while. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hee! Oh, donte, you devil bastard! The Great King of Hell has risen from Hell! Run away too!! The moment I witnessed the hell unfolding in front of my eyes. ah? The corners of Gwanggaes mouth began to harden. What the hell is this ck Storm. A situation where an ominous whirlpool that seems to have risen from hell is raging everywhere. Even that was not enough, nts, people, and the earth, and everywhere, no matter where they were covered, light like green grains escaped and flowed into the ck storm. Only then did Gwanggae see the person in the center like the eye of the typhoon. Thats just a monster A man who seems to exist only to bring about the end of the world. Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > is strongly activated. Before I knew it, particles of light were absorbed by the ck vortex and flowed into the young man. A bloody appearance, as if he were the King of Hell, protruding from hell. Gwanggae was so overwhelmed by that appearance that he forgot even the thought of showing off his madness and had no choice but to parent it as if hisnguage ability had deteriorated. Like a candle in front of the wind, fake madness in front of real madness cant even survive. But is it toote to undo what has already happened? The god of transcendence and death burst intoughter after hearing the words of a beggar. a beastly man? Hurry up and bow your head in front of him? Its fun. ] Han Seong-yoons eyes looked directly at Gwang-gaes face. [ you. Thats what I said, right?] That was thest scene Gwang-gae remembered. Chapter 364 364. Breaking the seal (5) Murim Meng. Indeed, it was possible to describe this ce as a political faction Murim itself. In fact, it can be said that the aspect called the right school or the white way of Murim originated from the Murim League. Everyone, thank you for attending the emergency meeting of the main alliance. It is because the Moorim Maeng is like a union of all political factions, as the ganghos fortune tellers often say. And as a result, when a major incident urs in Gangho, the Moorim Meng is the first to be excited. So I am Cheon Kang-woon, the leader of the Honblind. What happened this time was no different. Everyone here already knows me. The vast meeting room of the Moorim League. Chun Kang-woon, sitting at the head of the conference room, turned his head and his eyes shed. Currently, most of the old file rooms and the five generations are sitting in their seats by participating in the call for this emergency meeting. Perhaps most of the people here are familiar with each other at least once. Even the members were different from the regr Moorim Maeng meetings. All of the people upying seats in the conference room were elderly people, and that meant only one thing. Absolute master (~). Even those are the figures of the previous generation, that is, from a very distant past, and all of them are real talented people who possess not only power but also monstrous power. Chun Kang-woon looked at him as if he was quiet. I didnt expect to see the faces of these old monsters again, but really But thats for a while. The agenda itself that led to the convening of an emergency meeting is only one. Suddenly, Chun Kang-wun opened his mouth with a cold re in his eyes. It is other than the subjugation of Murims enemies. Chun Kang-wun sipped the tea on the table in the conference room and continued. Starting with the Hyeonmun Jeongjong sect in Seomseo, such as the Hwasan faction and the Jongnam faction, six of the Gupabangs were attacked by one beast. In fact, it was like an unprecedented event. Those who have gathered here are only old people who have lived for hundreds of years, so they are a hierarchy of witnesses to the living history of Moorim. However, even these centuries-old monsters had never seen anything like it. Cheon Kang-woon looked around the conference room and asked the hundreds-year-old veterans as if preaching the seriousness of the situation. Perhaps the people here will also be the target of that brutal bloody beast, so I hope you lend your strength like the old masters of the past. Of course, it was just a formal request. Anyway, if we have to avoid the evil beast that destroyed six of the old files, well have to join forces. Since Cheon Gang-un is the owner of the Murim Alliance, and all the Murim factions such as the Gupailbang and the Five Greats are members of the Murim Alliance, even the greatest masters of the past could not easily refuse his words. But is that even the case when it is generally considered? Why should I? In an instant, an old man in a purple suit expressed his refusal. It was Tang Nak-un, the head of the Taesang family of the Sacheon Tang family, one of the five great families. He was a man who was recognized as a master of the world by consuming a lot of poisons, such as biotoxins and mineral poisons, and finally reached the stage of being a poisoner after training. Even among the peerless masters of the previous generation, Tang Nak-un was arrogant because he was an old man who acted as a member of the hierarchy three hundred years ago. Its just that stupid things happened. Then there is no need for me to move. You dont even have to listen to a kids orders. Dang Nak-woon showed ridicule on his purple face. As expected of Sapas servant, you still have a damn personality. but for a while. Thats why you still cant be called a political faction. Soon, the moment when an old man wearing a uniform with a plum blossom pattern said that. What a cheeky bastard is talking like that! Tang Nak-woon frowned at him and tried to curse at him, but was startled when he saw his opponents face. Red Pomegranate Thats me. The enemy seller smiled. Three hundred years ago, he was also one of the greatest masters who was called the Hwasan No. It was literally the same as the volcanic sword itself. Although he is now half-retired and is staying in the position of Elder Taesang, his authority is greater than those of the Hwasan faction. Because you cant throw away his Safa temperament, you still cant establish yourself as a political faction. At the words of the enemy, Dang Nak-woon gnashed his teeth and revealed that he was going to live. you!! however. Unfortunate. be quiet Right now, you are dealing with the great affairs of Moorim. Please do me a favor. Even that was easily stopped. Im asking for you as the Heaven and the Fifth Festival of the same hierarchy. Its nothing else Do you understand? Because Unsu-ja, one of the Taesang elders of the Jongnam faction, said so. He was also a master of the world three hundred years ago and was also called Jongnam Geomseon (Kτ), one of the five festivals in the world, so his authority was the same as that of the Jeokmaeja. Furthermore, now that he hase to the present, he has been included in the Shinju Ten Saeng (ʮ), a hierarchy created about a hundred years ago. Even the meaning of his words was brutal. Thats also true, because what Unsuja said was that saving Dang Nak-woons face was the end. Yeah. When you save face as the same world and five seasons, you just have to shut your mouth If you dont, it means that you wont lose face. Tang Nak-un was forced to remain silent. Even if they are the same Heaven and Earth, the difference is clearly real. At most, Tang Nak-un is treated as a mere master of dragon poisoning, but did not the two fight for the position of the best in the world by dealing with Sailor Invincible, one of the five festivals of the world? Because they pretend to be human beings, theyre like cubs Dang Nak-un suppressed his bubbling anger and replied pretending to be rxed. w. Got it. I cant help it because that Unsujin of the Jongnam faction says so. my apologies. Only then did Unsuja smile and answer. Its nice to hear you say that. And with that, the fight in the hall was over. Didnt two of them agree to subjugate the Beasts? Even the few other masters convened in the conference hall were watching them. Chun Kang-wun finally sensed that there would be a consensus, and then, after clearing his voice, spoke. If we continue like this, the meeting will probably never end, so I will only talk about the main topic. This Meng has already engaged two of the Heaven and Earth Five Festivals in this matter. The hostess opened her eyes wide and said. Hoo. If youve already captured two of the five festivals, doesnt that mean youve captured all of them, including the people here? If so Thats right. I have called Namgungsu, Changcheon Geomjon, the head of the Namgung family, and Seonwonja, Seonwonmujeokja, the Taesangjangmun of the shaman faction. Theyre pretty. Unsuja muttered, as if recalling memories, and Jeoksooja burst intoughter and said, These are characters that remind me of the old days. Three hundred years ago, I thought I was going to die by a sailor Its really reassuring to think of that guru as a colleague. Namgung-soo, that friend must have been training in the closed hall these days, saying he would make a sword technique called Changchun Sword. It seems that even the closing training is over now. Interestingly. Then, the fortune-teller stroked his finely grown beard and asked him a question. So, do you know where the evil beast who is said to have destroyed the monk is? Of course. Because the volcano faction said that the beast revealed where it came from. I already know where you are. Yeah Did you say you found out where the enemy who wouldnt mind chewing on you is? If so, let me know. Where is he? It is not very far. and. Shandong Baekga. next moment. So Chun Kang-wun said with hostile eyes. The Baek family, which the Bone Maeng decided to exterminate some time ago, sent a beastly beast. *** Achievement Moorim Achievement has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats rises by 10. What is this again? I narrowed my eyes as I saw the system message that suddenly appeared in front of me. Its a martial art. It seems that he was regarded as an enemy again in an unknown ce . It probably doesnt matter. It didnt feel too bad. All of his stats have risen by 10 due to achievement achievements, so it can be said to be a benefit. Even looking at the beggar like a treasure chest (?) in front of my eyes, the reward felt sweeter. So Its nothing else Chwiguhwan Grade: B+ Its a secret elixir refined in the opening. . However, if you consume the cove pill several times, the effect of taking it will be greatly reduced, and you will not be able to see the effect of increasing your magic powerter. Is this an elixir of opening? yes! Thats right, great man! This is because Gwanggae, who was covered in bruises all over his body, rubbed his hands together and brought a hidden reward. Its worth keeping alive. I smiled at him. I was going to kill him because he suddenly appeared and said he was a beast of a beast, but I was good at keeping him alive. Originally, I was going to kill a beggar called Gwanggae in front of my eyes as an experiment on the myth < Incarnation of the End >. He only changed his mind because, by chance, one of the beggars called Gwanggae the heir to the opening. It seemed like Gwanggae would be suitable for automatically farming the hidden rewards in the opening. And not only that, but the fact that the level of gwanggae wasnt that high was also one of the reasons why I didnt have the heart to kill. Even if I kill a non-divine enemy, its not like I can take away the unique characteristics. At least it was worth dealing with if it was the same level as the long line of the volcano faction. In fact, it wasnt a choice I regretted at all. Most of the rewards in the opening could be obtained by the hand of Gwanggae, and even that was not enough, and now he got the only elixir for the opening. Is this a small but certain happiness? Unlike ces like Volcano Wave, it wasnt a huge gain, but it was satisfactory. Its fun. Not even that. Could it be because Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > once crossed the crossroads of life and death due to a mixed punch? Before he knew it, Gwanggae was showing very kind words and actions unlike before he fainted. Is this what an educator is worth? For a while, it was rewarding. Anyway, this is all you have? yes. hmm. Could it be that Moorims unique mental illness has not yet been cured? The moment I looked at Gwanggae with sad eyes. For some reason, Gwang-gaes face immediately turned white. Ah ah ah ah! Its real! Its real! Dont hit him any more, man! Are you hitting me? This is not a beating, but it can be seen as a process of edification Hee! but for a while. information! ? Let me tell you a piece of information that might be helpful for adults! I nodded as if to ask him to speak, and Gwanggae desperately replied. I received a tip that the Murim League recruited the Heavenly Fifth Festival and is aiming for a great man! Five years of heaven? yes! Why are the unbeatable masters who were called in the same hierarchy as the invincible sailors who were said to have existed in the distant past! so? ording to the report posted by Sejak nted by Gaebang, it is expected that two of the five festivals have already been taken over, and the other three of the five festivals are expected to have gone to the Murim alliance It means there is. and. Yes I had to lick my lips and smile pleasantly. Five masters areing. Its nothing else Youre lucky. ? You mean the masters of Moorim are looking for me, without me having to go there myself? Then Im d. Doesnt it mean that the time to end the long-cherished ordeal is approaching? Its something to look forward to. very quickly too. Chapter 365 Episode 365, The Conqueror (1) Before I knew it, I realized that my long-cherished ordeal wasing to an end. Did the strong men who reached the point where they had nowhere to go further in Murim said it was the Five Days of Heaven? It was worth it. In fact, as Gwang-gae said, if the top-ss strongmen called the Heavens and Five Seasons are aiming for me, this will be thest battle I will face in this world. Of course, I still havent been able to recoup all the minor gains that could be found everywhere in Moorim Anyway, now, the huge powers of the Volcano and Jongnam factions plundered without leaving a single grain of rice, so I had no regrets. Maybe I cant get any more honey-like elixirs or treasures from this ce anymore. I smiled at him. Somehow, I got a lot of benefit from the ordeal of my longing, but that is over now. Only then did I enjoy the growth by changing the treasures of openness on the table into a handful of divine power or ability. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect, Offering(B), is activated. Received 11 items from yourself. Reces the corresponding items with divine power and umtes them in the heart. It seems that the power level of divine power will go up soon too Should I collect the dust and call it a mountain? It seemed that the divine power that had been gathered in various ways, as tenaciously as possible, would soon rise to the next level. And not only that, but based on growth skills such as the skill Steel Feed, all of his ability levels had also reached a high level. Physical abilities and magical powers are also likely to grow significantly. Of course, there are limits. Virtually all of the stats obtained with stat penalties are adjusted at the end of the ordeal, except for achievement rewards. In any case, achievement rewards increase certain stats on a fixed basis, so there is nothing to touch on the tower, but stats that are not a fixed increase method are tuned after the ordeal is over. Perhaps the skill Steel Feeding or the growth of all stats obtained through Necromancy would be like that. But it didnt matter. Currently, Im in a state where Im not restricted by towers, and all of my ability levels have reached incredible numbers. Even if it is a small increase in stats, it can be said that the efficiency ispletely different from the days when he was a challenger on the lower floors of the tower. Its something Im looking forward to when I go back to the tower. Only then did I get up from my seat with a light smile on my lips. Im leaving. and. Are you really going? I dont think youre going to open the door Thats right. So I finished my work before leaving the opening. Opening is a gate for 40 years, just like any other school. yes? Thats just too harsh!! Of course, it was not easy to ept that decision, but Gwanggae had toin. okay? dont hate Just because I break all the openings and thats it. Then theres really no need to keep you alive Ill visit you. ha ha ha. When I think about it, it seems like a very generous treatment. It is also a great mercy. cancer. Not like that. yes? One, and that for a while. Did Gwanggae realize at some point how much consideration I was giving him? Suddenly, Gwanggae broke into a cold sweat and soon epted the offer with a lifeless, empty smile. I smiled at him and quickly got out of the open building and decided where to go. Is the end approaching now It wasnt that difficult to choose a destination. In fact, wherever I went, I openly said that I came from the Baek family. If so, it was obvious where the people called the Five Days of Heaven woulde. There were still a few intact munpa in the old file room, but it seemed like there was no need to take care of them anymore. Now, should I finish warming up at this point? It was worth it. Five seasons in the world If you ask me, isnt it the enemies called the five seasons in the world that can be said to be the final boss in the ordeal of the earnest wish? I look forward to it. So The Folding Vortex What kind of loot can I get from the Five Seasons of Heaven? This time, its time to put an end to the ordeal for real. *** Folding vortex. The essence of space leap made of ck magic that only I can use. As soon as it was activated, the scenery in front of me changed in an instant and I arrived at the Baek family. Is there anything that has changed I looked at the Baek family and smiled bitterly. Its a messy atmosphere. It was worth it. Originally, the Baek family was inevitably destroyed in history and disappeared from Murim. Even if I saved the Baek family from a situation of extinction, that could notpletely calm the Baek familys confusion. Perhaps the situation would have been more serious if I hadnt prevented extinction. Actually, this didnt mean much either. After all, this is a virtual space created by the tower. Everything that happens on the ordeal of the earnest wish is like a dream. All that can be obtained from the ordeal of the earnest desire is only to imply that the managers wish could havee true. It is an empty ending. Of course, this side could benefit from numerous advantages even in the virtual world created by the tower. As a challenger climbing the Tower of Trials, he obtained numerous rewards, and sometimes he was able to obtain rewards by using shortcuts that deviated from the top of the tower. But at the end, what will Baekhak Geomseon gain? Maybe its just a small constion. I felt it during the Iron Blooded Lord, but the managers earnest wish is futile. But there was no way at all. Still, if I can see the tip of the tower, I might be able to achieve my longing perfectly. tower. A transcendental structure that even the ancient deities who imprinted its existence in the universe cannot take lightly. Perhaps, if you can stand on the edge, you can crave a better way than this. Didnt even the white crane swordsman once say that if you can stand on the top of the tower, you can really achieve your long-cherished ordeal? Its not impossible at all. Its just Its just a problem because I cant think of the end of the tower yet. Its just that were on a very halfway floor to think of the final floor of the tower all of a sudden. Because I became an ancient deity, I can deal with challengers who stay on the 40th floor, but Anyway, I am a challenger who has just cleared the 26th floor, so it is difficult to discuss the end of the tower. Even if thats not the case, I wonder if the tower will allow me to climb to the end. Not even that. The Tower of Trials seemed to be very dissatisfied that it couldnt control me. Wasnt the fake ancient deity I saw on the battlefield of the gods also an opponent devised to determine if the tower could not rece me? The Tower now knows that Im not following the controls. And since I was the one who won at the end, the tower is also standing still for now. I realized that despite creating a fake ancient deity, there was no recement for me. It is quite predictable that no matter what purpose the tower serves, it will probably want to test this side. Now that the trials on the 27th floor are just around the corner, the tower must be nning something in some way. At this point, its surprising that the top doesnt work around. Perhaps, as prophesied by a higher deity like the god of proof, on the 27th floor, I could dig a trap that would trap me in the tower. And for that I have already prepared. Just as it is said that overwhelming power shines even in the midst of any hardship After climbing the tower and oveing the approaching death crisis several times, now I have gained the power that not only the tower but even the ancient deity cant carelessly do. Then all that remains is to focus on the present. First of all, Ill have to finish the ordeal. and. Master! The moment I sorted out the misceneous thoughts in my head and entered the gymnasium within the Baek family. Where the hell have you been all this time! In the blink of an eye, Snow White, who looked like she was training at the gymnasium, ran over and grabbed her arm. Suddenly, Snow Whites eyes were filled with worry. At first nce, his eyes seemed to treat someone who had gone to a battlefield and returned home. That I was really worried because he asked me about the elixir and then he disappeared without a trace It was even more so because he disappeared while saying that he would retrieve the elixir from somewhere. Even if its not, its a messy time I replied with a wry smile. I was just busy looking for things to help with thedys training. really? yes. Even without that, it would have been enough for me to just be by your side and teach you martial arts. Is that so. yes. Snow White grumbled as if she couldnt bear toin loudly. Is this an emotion that only those who raise disciples can feel? Its like being a grandfather watching his broken granddaughter. Only then did I smile and take out several elixirs from my bosom. But, since I brought the elixirs, try using them. Snow Whites pensive eyes began to shine like a child. Wow But even that didntst long. It was because Baek Seol-hwas gaze went down as if she was ashamed. Feeling remorse, she shook her head and expressed her refusal. Yeah, but no matter how much I put on my life preserver, I cant even get the elixir Its okay. Its because I brought it somewhere to stop by anyway. You can just take it. Even so Theres no such thing as too much pressure. And I persuaded her in the softest way possible. If its still burdensome, you can pay me backter when thedy grows up. You grow upter? yes. And did the persuasion change your mind? Then Ill definitely pay you backter, Master. If thats the case, then I will also look forward to the future. Now the moment hase to return the favor, even if it is very small, to Baekhakgeomseon. *** As soon as the persuasion was over, things moved quickly. Before she knew it, Snow White nodded her head shyly and received the elixirs, and gave most of the elixirs of the Volcano Sect, such as the plum blossoms and seolmaedan, in her hands. However, the effectiveness of the magical power-up items here is greatly reduced when used repeatedly, so I decided to use the remaining ones. Anyway, Ill need more magic power to fight against enemies who say its the Five Days of Heaven. In response, I borrowed one of the practice rooms provided by the Baek family and took the elixirs. . The next thing to do was simple. In the blink of an eye, the mana within the body shook and swallowed up the energy of the outside as if it were melting. very quickly too. Perhaps, as it was written in the item description, how far you can receive the energy of the elixir depends on how you use your magic power . Ingested Maehwadan (B+). Challenger Seongyoon Hans magic power increases by +15. Ingested Seolmaedan (A+) Challenger Seongyoon Hans magic power increases by +30 . Ingested Jasodan (S+) Challenger Han Seong-yoons magic power is +100 It was worth it. In fact, this one climbed the tower and reached a level beyond being a master at mana management. At the very least, just because the level of all of his stats had been lowered, there was no way that his overwhelming magical power management ability would have disappeared. Its neat. Perhaps even after the trial of earnest desire is over, the magic power already obtained will be added to the original magic ability. It means that even after the ordeal of the earnest desire is over, the magic power will grow one more level. I left the practice room with a smile on my face, and soon after, Snow White finished taking the elixir and came here. There was an indescribable excitement in her eyes. Master! I used the elixirs you just gave me, and my internal energy has improved tremendously! Is it so? yes! Oh, and it even tastes great! It tasted as refreshing as the plum blossoms of the volcanic wave. That is correct. ? but for a while. Because thats the elixir I got from the Volcanic Wave. What is that? You said that? I just had something to do, so I brought it to the ce where I stopped by. and then. Perhaps that is thest elixir of the Volcano Sect. . I smiled and said that as if I was really happy. At this point, did Snow White have any questions? She stuttered the question with a pale face, not knowing why. As if he had been unknowingly involved in a great incident. Master ? I heard that ces like the Volcano Sect and Jongnam Sect were wiped out one after another, but how can I know how you got the Volcano Sects elixir? Ah, that I replied with a light smile as if it was nothing. Its simple. Even Its because I destroyed it myself. Thats why the spoils are with me. Its also very casual. Chapter 366 366. Conqueror (2) Time passed quickly. Currently, thanks to my direct intervention, the majority of the Gupabangs are almost half extinct. ording to the information given by the opening, in the past, the Murim League had convened the Five Days of Heaven to kill this side. The Fifth Festival will arrive soon. It was worth it. In fact, isnt the Moorim Alliance an alliance of the Murim factions, which are said to be the Old School and the Five Greats? Even if opening up is not a hint, it is already an established fact that the Moorim people who wille to this ce are monsters of power. Then, how should we prepare for the disaster that wille sooner orter? Actually, what I have to do is clearly decided. It was simple. Snow White Lady. Its nothing else Now Im going to pass on all of my skills to you. It was education. I said that while looking at Snow White standing in front of the gymnasium. Somehow, thanks to learning a lot of martial arts while climbing the tower, educating her in martial arts didnt seem difficult. The reason I failed in educationst time was because I tried to teach martial arts as if I had learned it. Its just In the past, I overestimated Snow Whites talent and failed to pass on the skill. It was just that she made an error in judgment that she would be able to copy martial arts after seeing it once, just like I did. But not anymore. You dont have to think too hard. Before I knew it, I smiled and continued talking to Snow White. Because being a martial artist isnt particrly difficult. but for a while. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Baek Seol-hwa sighed in response with a pensive look in her eyes. No Master, isnt it time for you to be like this? Youre not in a position to teach martial arts in the yard where youve destroyed sects like the Volcano faction and the Chongnam faction!! Maybe its because this side found out that the majority of the old file rooms were closed Its okay. no no. Im not okay at all right now. Master is no different from Moorims exploits It doesnt matter. After all, I was just following Moorims rules and acting fairly. At that, I smiled and spit out the words I had in mind. A majority of the old file rooms are the result of mutual agreement. What the hell is that Isnt it Moorimsw to follow the words of the winner if you lose in a mutually agreed upon duel? It wasnt a lie. Because its true that we reached an agreement on the duel to some extent. Because none of the old file rooms have ever refused to duel with us. In fact, the leaders of the Hwasan faction, as well as the leaders of the Chongnam faction and the Qingseong faction, epted the duel with me. Of course, among them, there were ces where Jang Mun-in admitted that he had been defeated before he even started the duel himself. So there is no need to worry. Its just that it went too far, so even if this side gets revenge now, theres nothing left to say. Unless a specific ancient deity appears, there is nothing dangerous. But thats all. In fact, there was no need to worry about the Fifth Festivaling. Anyway, it wouldnt be a difficult battle if the opponent didnt reach the level of a higher godhead anyway. Right now, the youngdy can just focus on martial arts training. Even if Master said that, it doesnt sound very persuasive Baek Seol-hwas face changed into a puzzled look, but it didntst long either. Then lets practice martial arts now. The moment I said that and started teaching her martial arts skills in earnest. Bondi martial arts is an expression of will. In the blink of an eye, I passed on the principles I learned from learning various martial arts to Seol-Hwa Baek. Its easier to think of sword skills as connecting the body to the sword. Originally, the sword technique itself is the realization of the will through mana or internal energy, so the bodys internal air cirction must be established in the same way as the sword. That way, the efficiency of conveying your thoughts wont drop too much. And, as mentioned before, martial arts is the implementation of skills through intention, so you have to focus on the essence, not on a certain action It didnt take very long. The experience of martial arts umted while climbing the tower suddenly reached a distant, high-dimensional realm, and it was not difficult to exin the fragments of that realization in an easy-to-understand manner. And as I continued to exin, I was able to feel a strange feeling. It was because he realized that there had been a tremendous amount of progress in his days when he was just a kid, when he had only just developed his sword skills. Its fun all over again. Not even that. Achievement Educator has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement increases. Skill skill transfer( B-) will be created. A new achievement was achieved this time, and a skill useful for education was obtained. Skill C Transfer of skills (B-) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C Greatly increases the users training efficiency. A certain level of correction is applied. It must be worth using. At this point, Snow Whites ascension to the realm cannot take long. Is it thanks to thebination of the skills training correction effect? Suddenly, after a few days, she was able to reach a level close to the sword force. But the peaceful times did notst long. Seongyoon Han. I havee to tell you something. Please do not be rmed and listen. It was because Baek Chun-hyeok suddenly approached one day and said that with a face stained with infinite tension. The Murim Meng pointed out Han Seong-yoon from Shandongbaekga. A designation? yes. Baek Chun-hyeok nodded and said with difficulty. The reason why the Murim Meng suddenly pointed to Han Seong-yoon is simple. Its nothing else I requested a duel trial from Han Seong-yoon in Bon Maeng. The final battle was about to begin. *** Dueling trial. Quarrels that often take ce in Moorim are fighting, as if one side is right . Its fun. I smiled at him. I thought the masters woulde attacking, but it was a duel trial It was fun. It was all the more so because I knew that more people woulde even if there were masters like Cheonhaojeol. To think that suddenly there would be a proposal like a duel trial . It makes me look forward to the moment of stopping by the real Moorim outside the tower. but for a while. Han Seong-yoon. Do not worry. I will definitely correct the mistakes of the Murim Meng. Please just leave it to me. Seeing Baek Cheon-hyeok say that with a face filled with a sense of mission made me wonder. Cant it be that I havent done anything yet, so you think the Murim Meng is doing that? It cant be. I had told Baek Cheon-hyeok the same thing the other day while feeding Baek Seol-hwa the elixir of the old file. You must already know that I eliminated six factions among the Gupabangs, which are ssified as the giant Murim forces. At that, I tilted my head and made sure Baek Cheon-hyeok didnt work in vain. You can let me fight. no. Even if Han Seong-yoon calls it a beast, I wont let it go. ? No matter what, Han Seong-yoon is the benefactor of the Baek family, so shouldnt we help him? . It seems that this is because the Baek family has a history of preventing the extinction of the side. But there is no need to do that. Apart from feeling grateful for the consideration, there was no need. Because its obvious that I will win anyway. Now that its at this point, did Baek Cheon-hyeok understand what I was talking about? Then I understand. Baek Chun-hyeok nodded as if he understood, and then stepped back. In response, I smiled softly and asked Baek Cheon-hyeok a question. That would be the case So, when will the duel trial take ce? Its because now Im curious about the reward Ill get after dealing with the five seasons. Ten dayster. However, if you wish, you can extend that period No. You dont have to. Just catch it as fast as you can. At that, I cut it off as if I was serious. I dont have to wait. It was worth it. If you just stretch out your hand, there is food within reach, so there is no need to endure hunger. It was all the more so because the Fifth Day of the Heavens, even though it may not be at the same level as a high-ranking deity, could be enough food for growth. I want to see you soon. I licked my lips with a look of anticipation at him. *** The Five Festivals under Heaven (~). Numerous powerful schrs say that the Heaven and Earth Festival are the five most powerful in the world. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Five Fifth Festival had an achievement that prevented the rise of the Demonic Cult. That was what Cheon Kang-un, who led the Murim Maeng, agreed to. They look so well-behaved even after living for over 300 years Chun Kang-un, who stood up as a notary public for a duel trial on a stage prepared by the Baek family in Shandong, looked at the audience. Its really amazing. There are also members of the Heaven and Earth Festival who did not attend the Murim Alliances emergency meeting. Sailor Jinin,monly called Sailor Invincible, and Namgungsu, known by the nickname of Changchun Geomjon, were there. Just like a shamanist guru, in addition to the in-looking sailor wearing a uniform and a neat conduit, the appearance of a male archer wearing a blue uniform and shining eyes like a ghost. Watching it made Cheon Kang-woon automatically feel the tension. I can see why they say that the best person in the world wille out during the five seasons. It was worth it. They are Seonwon Jinin, also called Sailor Invincible, as Taesangjangmun of the shaman faction, and Namgungsu, called Changcheon Sword Zone, as Taesang Family Head of the Namgung family, and they are infinitely close to transcendentalists. And its not just them. People like Jeoksooja, Unsuja, and Dang Nak-woon, who have taken up a seat in the audience all of a sudden, have tremendous skills, even though they may beckingpared to the two. Cheon Kang-un saw it a hundred years ago while blocking the rise of the Demonic Cult. At that time, I didnt know that I would stand in the same ce as those monsters Chun Kang-wuns ck eyes mixed with awe and the light of memories. It was because he remembered what those old monsters, who were said to have lived for about three hundred years, had done. The topography was destroyed just by the palm of the invincible Sailor, and countless demons were cut by the sword of Changcheon Swordsman, and the enemy trader, the fortune teller, and even Tang Nak-woon showed the best of Ikkidangcheon. Its a pity that I have to deal with those monster-like old people Cheon Kang-wun looked around at the characters of the Baek family and clicked his tongue inwardly. It would have been better if the Baek family had been wiped out by the Great Command led by Meng at the time. Baek family. As one of the five great generations, he has been greatly influential as a swordsman for a long time. Even to the extent that it is not pushed even by the Namgungsei, which has Changcheon Swordsman Namgungsu, one of the five festivals of the world. everything seems to be against what Bong Meng pursues. Originally, he tried to destroy the Baek family without calling people like the Five Festivals of Heaven. Thats also true, because the Shandongbaek family was the most opposed to the Murim Leagues pursuit of gain among the five generations. So, after moving even the big men of the ck ind like the ck Night League, he tried to destroy the Baek family, but even that failed. Indeed, it seems that there was a number hidden as much as it has been in existence for a long time. But now that is over. Thats the end of my leftovers. In fact, there was no way they could be safe in the yard of the cheonhaojeol-I. Even if at the end of the duel trial, the maniac who killed the majority of the Gupabangs would die, that would be the same. Witnesses here will be a handful of blood and the Shandongbaek family will disappear from Moorimsa. Under the notarization of the Murim Maeng, we will begin a duel trial. Thinking so, Cheon Kang-woon cleared his throat and then, like a notary from the Moorim League, parted his lips. Han Seong-yoon of the Shandongbaek family has toply with the strict Moorimw and live or die. and. The duel trial proceeds as a one-on-one life-and-death decision, and this can continue until all the crimes are right or wrong The moment Han Seong-yoon, who was sitting on the side of the Baek family, stepped onto the duel field. . Toe out and deal with them one by one, not one to many A chilling ridicule flowed from Han Seong-yoons mouth. It was like a smile shed when she saw the rabbits appearing in front of the lion and burning their fighting spirit. His attitude was as if he could be so arrogant about prey that he could kill as if he were ying with it. Its ridiculous. Chun Kang-wun was shocked, forgetting to even speak. What is that? If thats the case, to say something like that In fact, thats an expression of hostility toward the Five Festivals of the World, and doesnt it mean that you will be torn to pieces against the strongest of Murim? But is that just the beginning? Theres no way you guys could beat me in a fight one by one, right? next moment. Come all at once. Han Seong-yoon gave off a cold look in his eyes and said calmly. That way it will be worth dealing with. As if it were an undeniable fact. Chapter 367 367. Conqueror (3) In an instant there was silence in the hall. A situation where only silence remains. Suddenly, the audience under the rain stage couldnt even breathe. Perhaps it was because the words I had just spoken sounded so shocking to them So, before I could answer, I took the sword out of the scabbard hanging from my waist and spoke again. If you dont want toe all at once, you can refuse. Could that have spurred quite a bit out there? No matter which way you choose, you will die here. next moment. Thats a lowly thing A voice mixed with anger flowed from one of the audience seats under the stage, as if in response. How dare you tease your mouth with such an insignificant life like a ephemera. bugs. Only then did I look at the source of the voice with a slight twinkle in my eyes. An old man wearing a purple uniform with a plum blossom pattern on it, his face distorted. The old man, wearing a uniform with a plum blossom pattern, came up to the arena with his eyes wide open. good. There is no need for all five festivals toe at once to catch a bug like you. Exactly Red Seller. He is the Taesang Elder of the Volcano Sect. Know that it is an honor to have this person who has sold out all of Hwasan in his eyes. It was one of the five festivals. In an instant, I finished assessing the level of the matchmaker and my eyes twinkled. This is because he discovered a fair amount of divine light near the heart of the enemy. Its fun. It was amazing. Its not like the battlefield of the gods, so I didnt expect there to be so many reserve deities with divinity. Do you think there is still such a high-ss master in the volcanic faction? I cant help but be even more surprised because I thought the original volcanic wave would have ended at the point I destroyed it. Judging from the title of Elder Taesang of the Red Merchant, unlike the general Elders, I dont belong to the Volcanic Sect, so I dont think I overlooked it Its an unexpected benefit. Still, the fact that its the Five Festivals itself isnt false in its own way. It was only then that I felt my appetite tingle and squeezed my sword wave tightly. After finishing all the five festivals, it seemed to be quite full. but for a while. -you. ? Soon, the moment the enemy seller sent an electric tone as if whispering in my ear. C A humble thing. I dont know what kind of enchantment you and the like used to destroy this evil enchantment but this is one thing you should know. I had to wake up from my thoughts. DFrequency will repay you tenfold for what you have done. Amid the bloody shes in the eyes of the enemy, countless negative emotions were swirling in those pupils. DLet me tell you what a great sin it is to tarnish the name of a volcano. First of all, the baek familys bastards will cut the muscle veins of all limbs and thoroughly abolish the dantian, which is the source of martial arts. DIs that all? I will personally behead the head of the Baek family, and I will burn all the military achievements of the Baek family, so that the girl you serve, Baek Seol-hwa, will be no different. DMaybe it could be worse. Oh, are you there right now? Indeed, her beauty deserves a nickname like Shandong Jeilmi, so its something to be expected. Why are there so many ces for a pretty girl to be used Shall we start? At that, I wiped the smile from the corners of my mouth and stared nkly at the enemy in front of me. I just dont want to waste any more time. The red merchantughed once and nodded his head. her! If you want that, then let it be. It seems like what we want from each other is clear. He was ready to fight with a sinister grin on his lips. I dare to tell you the cost of challenging the Great Volcano on the subject of bugs And. Divinity < Death > is used. The death of everything eroded by Divinity < Death > can be controlled. Divinity < Evil Eating > is used The power to devour is imbued] Sinseong < eleration > is gone All the abilities of challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly elerated The next moment. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Immediately move to the desired point within the field of view by consuming divine power. I immediately activate a lot of divine power. Then he swung his sword heavily. Kwajijik! And thats it. In the blink of an eye, I split the opponents torso in half and won. Due to the addition of instant kills such as Divine < Death > and Divine < Death >, the opponent died without any resistance reaction. Chow-! Its also very light. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against Gosu brought him 1.1% closer to [Transcendence]. Volcanic Iljeol absorbed themand of the enemy seller. . Even assuming that the enemy agent reacted to this attack, they dont really mean anything The divine < Death > is the power to announce the end of all things, and the divine < Death > is the ability to consume the divine itself. The immediate death of the enemy was natural. Only then did I properly wipe the blood off my face with the back of my hand and slowly turn my head as if looking around the bottom of the rain stage. Can you get a feel for it now? All of the audience seats below the non-stage were filled with feelings of astonishment. You couldnt be my opponent in the first ce. At that, I put on a bright smile on my lips. therefore. Thats an infinitely bright smile. Stop his arrogant pride ande all at once. However The god of transcendence and death looks down at the mortals with angry eyes. [Come on. ] It was a genuine smile with no hint ofughter permeating the corners of the eyes. *** Before I knew it, the atmosphere in the hall was colored with astonishment instead of silence. . As if he didnt know that the enemy, one of the five seasons, would die in a single blow. What the hell is this The enemy sold out lost in just one second? is that a lie? Theres no way that volcanic enemy sold out like this! Its four spells! In fact, it was. Most of the audience seats under the rain stage were upied by members of the Moorim League. In fact, despite the stage prepared by this side, the other side upied arger number of people. However, despite the number of people, many people from the Murimmaeng side who were sitting there were trembling in astonishment. You dare And then. Really, are you giving orders to this Sailor Jin? It wasnt that different from the Tianhao Fifth Festival. Suddenly, an old man wearing a uniform with a Taegeuk pattern on it growled as he stroked his beard. The sailor tried to pretend to be furious as much as possible, but his hands were shaking even slightly. And when I saw that, I replied with a genuine smile. then? Then what are you going to do? you!! The sailor let out his anger as he squeezed the handle of the chair as if he would crush it. The son of a bitch And then. Then Ill kill you as you wish! That was the moment. As soon as the sailor cried out in anger, the model disappeared leaving behind an afterimage. Even that was not enough, and the three old men sitting next to him also erased their traces as if they were blinking out of sight. The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The users concentration increases tenfold. The world slows down in an instant. Suddenly, the movement of objects slowed down as if a slow video was ying. And even in a world that has slowed down so much, I felt my heart pounding inside as I watched the masters moving at supersonic speed, creating countless afterimages. It was just like that. In fact, even a formal deity with tolerable physical abilities could not move as agilely as I did. Not even that. As befits those who are regarded as the best in this world, their bodies were operating their power like an organ without wasting a handful. Perhaps if I fight with pure technique, Ill lose helplessly because of the difference in physical ability. But I wasnt nervous. Myth < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +300. Special buff < Aesthetics of Loneliness > is activated. All stats increase by +300 in one-on-one battles. Thats also true The special spell activation conditions have been met. The exclusive spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. It was because I was certain that I would be able to win no matter how difficult the enemy was. Arent the opponents in front of you old monsters who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts? You can probably get a lot out of this battle. In addition to the things that can be obtained through the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence > or necromancy, you can learn a lot of martial arts from them. That is, the essence of martial arts refined through the umtion of hundreds of years ofbat experience. Lets take a look to see if theres a martial art that can be obtained. At that, I kicked the ground with a greedy smile. *** The sailor was genuinely astonished. What the hell is this The fact that the kid in front of him who seemed to have lived only about twenty years was insanely strong shocked him. Four out of the five seasons rushed together, but thats about it? It was worth it. Han Seong-yoon was showing the same movements as the incarnation of martial arts. They formed a perfect defense structure, such as avoiding an attack with just a piece of paper or slightly twisting the trajectory of the sword to let the attack flow. Of course, only one defense was formed yet. In fact, it was a one-to-four battle, so there was no attack from that side, but it was terrible to be able to defend itself even after being attacked by four of the five seasons. Crazy guy. Not even that. The sailor clearly saw Han Seong-yoon splitting the body of the enemy. During the Five Days of Heaven, the level of the matchmaker was slightly better than the bottom, but he was also a strong yer. If thats the case, Han Seong-yoon kills the enemy with a strange power that even sailors cant understand? If you think about it withmon sense, doesnt that mean that the young man in front of you is a strong enemy that even he cant guarantee victory? Then I had to die here. The one who will tear you apart! To hide his astonishment, the sailor vented his rage and struck the air. And each time, the techniques that were about the origin of the nickname, Sailor Invincible, exploded one after another as if they were exploding. In the blink of an eye, the palms of the sailors were mmed, the shaman groups 3 peak taijiquan was used, and attacks apanied by a roar were unleashed. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! It was a strike. Every time the sailor struck the air, an invisible power struck Han Seong-yoon. It was the ideal of a martial artist called in the martial arts, and it was a skillparable to that of a swordsman. However, it is of a higher rank than that of the mind sword. Since the attack power of the sailors extends beyond space, it was more difficult for the opponent to respond, unlike the mind sword. Ill wait and see how far I can avoid the attack, son of a bitch. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa-! The sailor was a nogoe that was evaluated as the closest to the best person in the world among the five festivals of the world. It means that his realm is high unlike the other three of the five seasons. Thats why it was difficult to understand. That would be the case What the hell is that? Because Han Seong-yoon was looking at the sailor without even paying attention to three of the other four seasons. He avoids the sword attacks of Namgungsoo, the swordsman of Changcheon, as if he knows, and sheds the cutting grass of Jongnam, swordsman Unsu, and even cuts dozens of strong threads of Kang Nakwoon, the King of the Four Heavenly Dogs. And in the process, Han Seong-yoon was only looking at the sailor and showing a strange smile. Why are you looking this way? As if it could be learned by stealing a sailors strike right. Chapter 368 368. Conqueror (4) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, the sailors invisible attacks continued to rain down. Its fun. It was a kind of swordsman-like technique. no. If I had to argue, should I say it was a slightly more modified technique from the sword? Every time the palm of the sailor standing in front of me was thrust into the air, a bizarre sensation arose. Now I think I know how to use that attack power I felt. What kind of trick was that power that suddenly appeared as if leaping through space in an instant? Originally, isnt the sword of mind built through the medium of magic? It wasnt that different in terms of attack power. . Attacking Power. Its a technique that really blows the air. And that punch hit a certain ce as if leaping through space riding on some invisible medium. I slowly came to realize how it works by watching nearly a hundred technical demonstrations. Perhaps the principle itself is not that new. It was worth it. Because the principle of that attack fist right in front of me was just a twisted level of the mind sword. I could understand why, whenever the other side struck the empty air, a wind of wind suddenly poured in this direction. Its just that the power transmission method itself is more useful than the technique of mind sword. I felt a strange sense of aplishment rising up from him and smiled. Now I understand perfectly. transmission of power. Just as the sword itself is used by using a medium called magical power so that the divine power can be freely used. In fact, isnt the sword skill strength the ability to change the nature of the sword skill to touch anyw? If so, it was certainly possible to manipte the divine power into a strong weapon. The attack fist is just a twist of the divine power concentrated in the heart with a strong weapon and changed it as desired. To put it simply, should I say that the change in the nature of the sword technique was grafted onto the principle of maniption of the divine power? A change in the nature of the divine power It was fun. I never thought I could use the principle of change of nature based on the strength of the sword spirit in the divine power. no. It could be the other way around. It must have been because he couldnt even be an official deity. It was bizarre. Even though he had that level of divine power, he couldnt grow properly as a god and just grafted his divine power into martial arts. Still, it was amazing that martial arts that were grafted onto the principle of using divine power had be a skill that even I, an ancient deity, felt worth learning. Even if he bes a true god, Moorim has a lot to gain from this world. but for a while. Tung-. As it was, I stepped back, avoiding the attacks of four of the heavenly festivals raining down on the stage. Even more, since there was no need to use a sword, he soldered a long sword to the scabbard of his waist. Only then will I be able to recreate the principle of the newly enlightened strike force. But did it look different over there? Do you know how to stop fighting even if you express yourck of will to fight like that? At that, the sailors eyes shed brightly and he vomited his anger. Do you really think that this small person can live a normal life even after insulting this Sailor Jin-in? The sailor continued with a voice full of murderous intent. Even if Unsuja or Namgungsu resigns from this position, you will not be able to live as long as this Seonwonjinin exists Perhaps seeing that this side inserted the sword, they thought they were desperate and misunderstood I have no idea. I had no intention of admitting defeat. I just want to try out my new martial arts. This is a match that I won in the first ce. At that, I put a sneer on my lips and stood up as if I was going to show off some kind of martial arts. It was only then that the misunderstanding was resolved on the other side, and the sailors expression hardened, and then his face turned red. Taijiquan He must be Before I knew it, I was following the Taijiquan that the sailor showed. Ill tear you to death! The sailor made a noise with his face dyed red, and then ran as if breaking the ground. Aaaaaaaang! The skill Focus on Combat is activated. The users concentration increases tenfold. And. Then I activated my skill, elerated the world of consciousness, and looked at the enemy. Suddenly, the sailor was running at supersonic speed and punching out with every step he took. Since it was a series of attacks made using the trick of the attack, an invisible attack wasunched, creating a shock wave like a drum burst. ! very quickly too. Its amazing. But there was no tension. no. It is expected that this side will be able to receive the authority that has been honed to the limit. I strangely felt my heart pounding, and then I used Taijiquan like water flowing and shot the air. Tung-. and then. I did it. next moment. Kkwajijijijijijik-! As it was, invisible punches were fired in an instant, and the stage itself was devastated. *** The Sailor was a 300-year-old old monster. Three hundred years ago, the level of internal qigong reached a critical level, and lifespan was greatly extended. Since the Seonja had the body of immortality, from around that time, he began to practice the magical power of staying in the middle ground, not the Naegongsimbeop. Yeah it was like that then. So I wanted to be a Taoist. Based on it, I hope that it will be a freshman. As a result, the sailor was able to handle the divine power umted in the heart, but that was the end. Even in his own eyes, he noticed that being able to handle the divine power of the heart with internal medicine is clearly different from bing a god. But in the end I couldnt be a Taoist. It was different from the ideal of Godhead that sailors hoped for. At this point, the sailor also realized that he could not be a god just by handling the divine power umted in his heart. So, the sailor despaired and gave up practicing. Sailors were certain that there was no way to go beyond that since they hadpleted a level of attack power that was better than the generally speaking mind sword. This was thought to be the pinnacle of innocence. okay. After wishing to be a Taoist, what waspleted is the Strike Fighter. This must be a skill close to the extreme of martial arts. It was worth it. After 300 years of training, the perfect shotgun is not a skill that can be imitated just by watching it a few times. Sailors were not even evaluated as geniuses hundreds of years ago, so they were able toplete a strike through the divine power umted in their hearts. This is not a skill you can just watch and copy. If thats the case, what is this? If so, what is that in front of you? Kkwajijijijijijijik-! The answer was fixed. It was a strike fist that originated from the beginning of an attack of a certain Taijiquan used by Han Seong-yoon. And that means only one thing. Exactly You learned the strike attack? It was that Han Seong-yoon had perfectly learned the results derived from 300 years of training. At that, the sailors feelings of denial surged up. Suddenly, the sailors eyes were filled with intense denial. No way! The sailors bloodshot eyes shed, and he continued to use his strike power. Do you think you will admit it! What a bug! Theres no way youll reach the pinnacle of martial arts! In an instant, a roaring sound resounded like a drum exploding, and an invisible punch was fired. Aaaaaaaaaagh! but for a while. Whoa-! offset Han Seong-yoons air strike power erases the sailors attacks one by one. Not even that. Soon enough, Han Seong-yoons strike power began to overwhelm the sailors attack. Thus, the face of the battle changed. Kuk! Sailors could no longer unleash one-sided attacks. Its just that they are in a hurry to respond to Han Seong-yoons attack power one by one and block it. At that, the sailor tried to tell the other three of the five festivals to hurry up and join them, but even that didnte true. Kwad-! Its nothing else Wow! Before he knew it, the sailor who had been hit by Han Seong-yoons attack fist had copsed, spewing out a handful of blood from his mouth. This cant be like this This Sailor Jinin, a rebel I cant just die in a ce like this I And that was it. Kwazijik-! It cant be. At that moment, Han Seong-yoon reached down with his palm and crushed the sailors head and said so. Theres no way youll look at the enemy Im fighting with, right? And that too in a very cold voice. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against a top-notch master, bringing him 1.7% closer to [Transcendence]. Sailor invincible absorbed themand of Sailor. . Sailor invincible (rԪo). A master of the shaman faction who was mentioned as the number one person in the real world of the Moorim of the time since 300 years ago. At this moment, the mighty sailor was defeated, and the other three of the five seasons were able to be certain of a certain fact. Are there only three left with this? Its nothing different I cant believe there are still three of the five festivals left The fact that the young man with a cool smile in front of him has risen to the throne as the new strongest. Im really d. Han Seong-yoon shed a cool smile. *** Before I knew it, three of the five festivals rushed in, shining with an iparable fierceness. Kaaang-! Unsujas sword flows freely like a cloud and unleashes irregr attacks. Ive already seen it. A state in which he saw and memorized numerous sword techniques of the Jong-Nam faction when he almost destroyed the Jong-Nam faction. Anticipating the trajectory of Unsujas sword, I lightly dodged him and pushed him. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! But maybe you didnt like it? Bastard-! Why are you targeting only me! Namgoongsu! Good luck! Come on, get this lunatic off me-! The woonsu screamed as he sweated profusely all over his body. Of course, it doesnt mean anything. Its just that I didnt pay attention to the other two people of the world, such as Namgungsu and Tang Nakun, and only attacked Unsu. Anyway, the other two attacks couldnt reach this side anyway. The skill Fire Dragons Eye is strongly activated. Suddenly, the skill expanded the field of vision, and it was clear what the other two were doing during the Five Seasons without having to use magic detection. If I dont want to at all, theres no chance of hitting the attack. When I openly pushed forward to him, he gritted his teeth as if he also felt the limit. As if seizing thest chance would change this unfavorable battle situation. In fact, the fortune teller did. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! In the blink of an eye, Unsujas sword spewed light and swung. It was like the phenomenon when the clouds that blocked the sunlight were lifted. And the number of goals inherent in that skill of Unsuja was also not very different. Slow-! Wow The next moment. How could I have noticed the secret of the great Ungwang sword method I replied by cutting off the head of Unsu, who was sitting on the floor. Kwazijik-! Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 1.2% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against a peerless master. Absorbed themand of Jong-Nam Swordsman, Unsuja . . . As it was, I quickly brushed off the blood on my sword and turned my head. Now there are two left That was the moment. Lets go, lets go -! Dont move any further. Some kind of green thread was stuck in front of my eyes, and eventually, it drew a bizarre path all over the non-stage, forming a boundary like a spiders web. you. this wicked thing. Now I wont be able to stand in front of Dan Nak-woon! Dang Nak-woon giggled and burst into madness, and then continued to talk as if he was excited. Hahahahaha! Its a single marriage from the Sichuan Dang family! The moment you touch the thread, your limbs will be cut off! A single marriage? okay! Its a thread woven from the skin of spiritual creatures! Whats more, the intangible poison that flows through this poison kings danjeon is added, so youre as good as dead I have something simr too. but for a while. The skill Abyssal Lineage is strongly activated. Recalls the evil of the abyss in the form of magic. Kwajijijijijijijiji-! In the blink of an eye, I ejected ck tentacles from my fingertips. As it is, the ck tentacles at the same time derived ck tentacles as thin as des, and weaved all of Tang Nak-uns single marriages. Of course, it wasnt easily cut off because of the strong energy with the addition of Tang Nak-uns intangible poison . Patter-. ah? Even this one is so easy that its futile. I think it was probably used as a way of conversion. It was hard to understand what kind of thoughts he wrote in that it wasnt very threatening. so. I looked at him and smiled at him. Is this all? Now the end is near. Chapter 369 369. Conqueror (5) Kwajijik-! Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against a peerless master, bringing her 1.01% closer to [Transcendence] . I fell through being pierced. There were no noticeable skills except for the fact that Dan Nak-woon suddenly stretched out the thread of single marriage as if it were a special move. Still, under the assumption that it was one in a row, I tried to deal with Tang Nak-un a little more, but the result did not change. Really Nothing to learn. At least, the sailors had something to learn, but the sellers and transporters were at an unattractive level. At most, the skills of the two were only slightly more developed than the martial arts that they had seen in the Hwasan faction or Jongnam faction. This side is below expectations. Even Dang Nak-un, who is called the Four Heavenly Dog King, was worse than that. Nothing to learn except to stretch out the threads like a mere spider? At this point, he couldnt understand why Tang Nak-un belonged to one of the five festivals in the world. At that, I clicked my tongue and brushed off the blood on my sword, revealing the disappointment in my eyes. It was fun to learn about strikes from a sailor, though. It was a bit disappointing. Originally, I was going to skip all the skills that could be used in every one of the five seasons. Even so, even though it was a world of the past recreated by the tower, I knew that there would be a lot to learn since they were the strongest people in the world. Its disappointing. But it wasnt. Except for the sailors, most of them had rubbish skills. At this point, I wonder if the battle with the heavenly horse I saw in the 17th floor ordeal was even more high-level. In fact, it was all the more so as her skills were to the extent that she even used a mind sword to match the grandiose nickname of Heavenly Demon. Is it different over there though? but for a while. Now thats all thats left. I looked at the male archer who was left alone on the arena and licked my lips. Namgungsu had an old appearance, but the way he held the sword was the most interesting of all the five festivals. Should I say that I feel something that should be called a little spirit? Somehow, the male archers sword-holding posture or the look in his eyes made it possible to know that he was at a levelparable to that of a sailor. Even if it wasnt just that, I could definitely feel that that other side was stronger. Yeah. I guess it happened like this. The dueling trial will be your victory. Namgungsu said while changing the posture of holding the sword unlike before. Admit it. Han Seong-yoon, you guys are stronger than anyone under the sky. That is true. and. However, unlike the victory in a duel trial, you will not survive here Red hostility lingered in Namgungsus old eyes, and soon the energy that he was very familiar with the sword flowed. I will show you. I had to open my eyes wide. It will be a swordsmanship that will open up a new sky beyond the outdated Namgung familys royal sword style And it didnt end there. This will be the sword of the new era! . Look, the best person in the world! This is the shape of the real sky contained in the sword, and it will be the sword that will cut down everything on you Ha. I had to let out an annoyed sigh when I saw the trail of the archers sword before I knew it. Are you just trying to show me that? It was because he realized that there was no new martial art to be obtained from the male archer in front of him. To think it would go bad. ? Ive already seen that before. What the hell is that Its nothing else I didnt mean it in a very difficult way. Heavenly Sword (n섦). It was a swordsmanship obtained in a battle with the challenger, Namgung-hyeok, when he climbed the tower. It was even more familiar because it was a technique that became the basis of the Soul Source Demonic Sword, which has now be a Power Skill. It was just that I would be better at using the blue sky sword type than you. and thats huge. *** Results did not change. This was after he had already climbed the tower and polished his sword form. And since I was more proficient than Namgunghyeok, the provider of the original sword, there was no way I could be technically inferior to Namgungsu. Inherent skill Area of the Sword is activated. Not only that. This is quite usable. area of the sword. This time, the unique skill obtained through Tamcheon, one of the new detailed effects of Necromancy, was also active. The unique skill Sword Realm can benefit a lot on the premise that the opponent fights within a fixed radius. Kagagak-! Is this a unique skill I smiled at the corner of my mouth as I inwardly struck the archers sword. In addition to the temporary increase in swordsmanship skills this side possessed, there was a significant strengthening of basic abilities. A 10% reduction in all damage received followed by a 10% increase in all stats are applied, making fighting morefortable. The unique skill , Area of the Sword is activated. Faint red afterimages were disyed in front of his eyes, as if informing him of Namgungsus next move. Perhaps that red afterimage tells the action that will lead to the next action . And because I was aware of the Changcheon sword type, I was able to overwhelm the male archers sword by disying near-perfect skills. Achievement Overwhelming Skill Difference has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase. 10 rises. What the hell is this Namgung-soo breathed heavily and, as if not understanding, caused an earthquake in his eyes. Why? How the hell can you use the blue sky sword why It was understandable. In fact, all the Jeolcho that Namgungsu wrote were destroyed at once, so I couldnt even use them. And that wasnt enough, so this side used the realm of the sword and drove the male archers with the Changcheon sword type, so it must have been unfair. Answer me bastard! At that, I smiled and said to the male archer who seemed half insane. Thats because it was so easy to learn that the blue sky sword hyung could see it and imitate it. and. you-! How far will a guy like this growl y with me like that! Ill kill you-! I sneakily dodged the sword approaching in front of me in an instant and whispered a small whisper to the male archer and counterattacked. Thats great. Slow-! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against a top-notch master brought her 1.14% closer to [Transcendence]. Absorbed themand of Changcheon Swordsman, Nam Archer. . I dont even want to waste any more time anyway. I mean, I didnt. trajectories that diverge from each other. Even though the trajectories drawn by the swords were only slightly divergent, the winners and losers were clearly divided. As it was, the male archer fell to the floor of the arena spouting blood without even making a final will. Just as those who preceded them during the Five Days of Heaven did earlier. Only then did I rx my grip on the sword and then took the reward of the duel. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits Muscle strength increased by 395 Agility increased by 388 HP increased by 387 Magic power increased by 398 Durability increased by 388 386 has risen. And The Divine Spirit in the spirit of the sailor invincible Sailor has been captured.] The authority Divine Power is activated by satisfying the conditions. Divine extraction seeded. Right before your eyes System messages appeared and lit as if to select a reward. You have absorbed the spirit of Sailor Invincible Sailor and fulfilled the special conditions. You can acquire one of the Divinities possessed by the Command of Sailor Invincible Sailor. < Cycle > < Union > < Semitism >. At this time, the potential divinity that was not selected will not appear as an optionter. And it is not only that. Condition satisfied. Transformation acquisition of unique property was determined by random probability. Sailor Invincible Absorbs the unique property possessed by Sailor . Heaven) was activated again and it acquired its unique characteristics. Acquire the unique skill, Draining (S). Unexpected rewards were given. *** Shedding. It could be said to be the main skill of a sailor. The sailor, who had been crazy about martial arts for three hundred years, put more emphasis on counterattacks such as shedding rather than aggressive techniques, except for the right to strike. What is this again? But its not that great. In fact, even if you trained a skill like spilling for 300 years, it doesnt have a value that surpasses the divine power umted in your heart. Since the Sailor had half of the level of divinity close to that of a godhead, wasnt it a level where he could pick out even concept divinity? Thats why I thought it would be quite rare if I could get a unique skill from a sailor. But it wasnt. At most, its like shedding something thats a unique skill. It was absurd. In fact, it was all the more so because I had already learned the technique of letting go while learning from the sailors. Of course, since the shedding itself obtained with the unique skill is the motif of the unique characteristic, there must be various detailed effects. He quickly confirmed the contents of the newly acquired unique skill. Unique Skill C Shed (S) Proficiency level C 100% Basic effect C wastepletely disappears from the users power management. Detailed effect (2) C Consumes 30% of the holy power inside the body topletely dissipate a specific attack . Huh? and. This Only then did I realize that the newly acquired unique skill was halfway close to power. Isnt that great? shedding. As a unique skill, it had the same effect as a power. Just by having the unique skill Shedding, the waste of power disappears and the counter itself can be specialized. Even among the detailed effects of unique skills, the nullification of attacks is the highlight. And thats not the end. Consumes 30% of the holy power inside the body to eliminate the opponents attack itself. Even if the opponents skill is not something that can be physically passed away, it is possible to attempt to pass it away. In fact, each of the detailed effects inherent in the unique skill Shedding had performanceparable to that of concept divinity. This one must be worth using properly. In fact, it was. Something like the Divine Protection is specialized in protecting the user from some kind of attack. Perhaps, if you use it inbination with the unique skill Shedding, it will reduce the chance of getting fatally wounded by the enemy. Divine selection,pared to that, doesnt have anything eye-catching. In response, I drew an arc around my mouth and even finished the selection of the divine. Selectionplete. Divinity < Cycle > is reced with potential. Only then did I stretch as if my body was aching and nced at Cheon Kang-woon across the non-stage. By the way, is the oue of the game dered yet? It was worth it. All of a sudden, the hall was quiet despite the fact that every one of the five festivals had died. Even though its been a few minutes since the dead of Heaven and Fifth Day, no one is able to open their mouth. Cheon Kang-woon, a notary public and leader of the Moorim League, was no different, and he was acting like he was lost. ah? Chun Kang-wun said with a trembling chin. What the hell is this I was supposed to be defeated by the Tianhao Festival sent by the other side, but I was shocked because I didnt. The dueling trial is now over. Whatever it is, it doesnt matter. Did I say that the one who lost the duel was the guilty one? That that that And I won. . Dueling Trial. Moorim-like tradition that covers the right and wrong only with the difference in strength. And it was said that the one who won the duel trial was considered justice here. Now That meant only one thing. Then who is guilty now? winner-takes-all. As is often said, the one who wins gets the right to conquer everything. Only then did I smile and let out greedy eyes. Chapter 370 370. Difference in power (1) In an instant, an ufortable silence fell over the hall. . There were many seats prepared for the arena here. As such, the number of spectators seated around the arena also upied a considerable number. Even though most of the people sitting there came from the Murim Maeng side, not from the Baek family, they seemed to be noisy. But even so, not one of the many people could open their mouth. I think I panicked because I didnt know that this side of the world was dead without a single one of them . I am the winner of the duel trial. As if the time hade for him to ept the oue of the duel trial. And you were the ones who lost the dueling trial. Thats it, thats Then its a simple thing, right? I said with a cool smile on my face. I have notmitted any sins. no. Sin is on the other side. Because I was defeated. and. Isnt that a Moorim-like justice that this duel trial decides? Only then did Chun Kang-wun part his lips as if he had something to say. no! Not yet! The dueling trial is not over! You said you defeated Heaven and Earth? What is it like! ? Originally, a duel trial does not end until all the sinsmitted are judged! Your sins cannot be counted individually, so the duel will have to continue! Its just perfect bullshit. If I had to count my sins, it would be all I had to do was to seal the door of the majority of the old families and take some elixirs. Then there was no reason why the duel trial would continue. After all, at the point where this side defeated all of the five festivals without exception, it would be like proving your innocence for that amount of crimes. Really I put a twisted smile on my lips that was close to ridicule. It sounds really interesting. It was worth it. Didnt he shout that he would decide all the sins in one duel trial because he thought that there was no way to lose the world over there? If thats the case, why dont you throw it away just because the prediction was wrong? Its like watching a childs absurd demand to void everything right off the bat as soon as you lose a bet. Nothing was really different. you! Did you dare to think that your sins would be light? No way! This leader, as a member of the Four Holy Spirits, will have your sins judged! The duel trial will be held next time at an appropriate date, so you should know that and prepare to be condemned! Either way. At this point, its getting to the point where its hard to hang out on this side. I sighed and moved on, ready to go downstairs. Anyway, looking at what they said, it was just nonsense, so it wasnt worth listening to. but for a while. Chow-! In the blink of an eye, I noticed something flying from behind, and I immediately twisted my body. Of course, the reaction itself was slow since all abilities such as the Shinhwa < Reversal Hero > and the exclusive spell < Despise the Strong > were all gone after the battle, but it wasnt that slow either. As it was, I twisted my body to avoid the unknown liquid flying from behind, then narrowed my eyes as I saw a few drops of green liquid on the back of my hand. Its nothing else Hahaha-! Thats right, I dealt with those old monsters, and theres no way I wasnt tired! You must have slowed down your reaction! Suddenly, Chun Kang-wun sprayed a green liquid from a small bottle and shouted. Is this also a characteristic mental illness of Moorim people? Just now, he said that we should set up an appropriate day and continue the duel trial . What is this again? When I said it as if I was dumbfounded, Chun Kang-wun burst intoughter and answered. Kuhhh! Youre asking the obvious! Surely it is not extreme poison? Its poisonous enough to poison you!! Chun Kang-un acted as if the situation was amusing. Its a military asset! Its a kind of sangong poison made by Sichuan Tangga in the distant past! Even if you only get one drop of it, its an object that willpletely disable your inner energy! Huh! do you know thats all Gunja is permeable to Qi, meaning it cannot be blocked in the first ce, so you are already addicted to it! What But Is the brain really contaminated over there? I couldnt understand. Anyway, Im not addicted to the poison of this military asset. In the first ce, even a mere poison could be driven out of the body by slightly activating the divine power. To believe only this one thing andmit such a thing Its not even that. The authority skill Magical Maniption is activated. Thanks to the divine < transcendence > sublimating my skills into a form close to authority, I can handle them without limit. No matter what the situation was, the powerful skills inherent in concept divinity would not disappear. Since he had acquired the authority skill Management of Magical Power in the past, there was no way that manipting magic would be impossible. But even if its not worth arguing about that, isnt that the yard that even Dan Nak-un, who is about to be a master of dragon poisoning, couldnt do any damage to this side. Dang Nak-un, who specializes in poison, also lost to me during the Five Days of Heaven, so why did he act like that? If so, the fact that I am not addicted is a fact that I can understand naturally . Is the way of thinking itselfpletely different from that of ordinary people? If you look at it from time to time, it seems that Moorim people do not go through the thought process itself because they are habitual in their work. At this point, even thinking about Chun Kang-wuns surprise attack felt like a loss, so I gave up thinking about it any more. okay. This is the Murim people. You dont have to understand. Even the slightest amount of poison that had entered my body was instantly consumed with magical energy, and I removed my lips. What shame do those who dare to lose even a duel trial behave like this?! no. To be precise, I was trying to do that. until Baek Cheon-hyeok, who was sitting in the bleachers on the side of the Baek family, stood up in a fit of rage. Cheon Kang-woon! Know the fraction, you money grabber! How could the head of the Murim League, the main axis of the political faction, Murim, act so rudely! Do you think the head of the household will ignore this?! It was amon reaction. After the duel trial, you cant ept the result and openly surprise? It is not something to be trifled with if it is judged from the point of view ofmon sense, which has nothing to do with Moorim. Hahahaha! Are you a loser? Baekgaju What nonsense is that! Isnt this a duel! However, since Cheon Kang-un was an ordinary Moorim man who had nothing to do withmon sense, he answered ordingly. The dueling trial is not over yet! The head of the n will hold that beastly beast guilty, so how can this be called an act? Its just one part of the duel! Cheon Kang-woon put a smile on his lips and spoke as if he were splitting up. Then its not nonsense! Only then did Baek Chun-hyeok scream again as if he could not stand it. Shut up the bullshit! This homeowner will make a formal protest against this! Cheon Kang-wun, I had to find out your profiteer-like disposition! Uh haha-! What did you say Baek Family? Are you going to make a formalint about this? Are you serious? okay! Did you forget that I can exercise my influence on the Murim Maeng Senate? Wearing the title of leader was only possible because of the support of the Senate! You still dont know where you are. Chun Kang-wun smiled twistedly and then spoke in a mocking tone. I know, Mr. Baek! Are you sure you were acquainted with the guys in the Senate? Hehe! But what about this! They want you gone! What else is that Do the elders of the Moorim Alliance still care about the Baek family who interfere in everything, saying that this is not like a political faction or that is not like a knight? Thats It cant be. Chun Kang-wun kept a straight face on his lips and continued. Even if it wasnt for that beast, the main leader of the Baek family would have gotten rid of it. Theres no way were going to let those swordsmen who gnaw away our bones. Suddenly, Chun Kang-wuns eyes were glowing with red intent to kill. Originally, a great cause involves the sacrifice of a few, and you are mistaken at the point of thinking that you have to take care of the people without knowing that. Chun Kang-wun gnashed his teeth, revealing more of his murderous intent, without any sign of hiding it. under! You wont have to hide it any longer. Do you know that the Baek family lord, the ck Night League, thoughtlessly tried to exterminate the Baek family? and. Thats what I was ordered to see. You cant have guys who interfere with the main alliance that you want to y with the swordsmen. So it was. Baek Cheon-hyeoks eyes widened and his mouth trembled in disbelief. What the hell is that But Chun Kang-wun didnt care. From Bon Maeng to the Old Families and the Five Dynasties, they all want you to disappear. How dare this mere ruffian talk about the extinction of the hundred families! Do you think I will belittle this! As if there was nothing more to endure. Hahaha-! a rogue ship? yes thats right! This leader can be called a rogue boat! But isnt that what all Moorim people have inmon? What difference does it make if I pretend to be clean? After saying that, Chun Kang-un went mad. How much more would you go against this order if not only the Senate of Bonn Maeng, but also the prestigious political factions, such as the Old Families and the Five Greats, turned their backs! And thats not all. Every time Chun Kang-wun spoke, an unusual movement arose around the arena. All of a sudden, the soldiers from the Moorim League were shing eyes filled with hostility. As it was, Chun Kang-wun smiled as if he was satisfied with the sign of therge-scale battle, then turned his head and looked this way and shouted loudly. ha ha ha-! Do you get it, you bastard! Now, there is no one to protect this Baek family! You will probably be a sinner wherever you go in this Moorim! I looked at him nkly and replied as if that was what it was. I think I know roughly. understood. Why is the other side doing such a sudden surprise attack? Probably, the various Murim factions behind it must have formed an alliance based on a coincidence of interests, so they could believe it and stretch it out. In short, you mean that youre going to judge me somehow, even if its not a duel trial? okay! You bastard, do you know how many sins you havemitted! The trial never ends! Well, its a logic that isnt particrly surprising anymore. I understand. Didnt you like how this side reacted like it was ridiculous? Chun Kang-wun gnashed his teeth with veins on his forehead. And then Chun Kang-un shouted. Foolish thing-! This is the difference between individuals and groups! And the real strength is the politics of the leader who coordinates and harmonizes the interests between the groups! Do you understand? however. Really strong? It is unconvincing that political activities that can weave interests between groups are the strongest. Something like that? It was hard to agree to discuss the strongest power with just that. You He must be too The god of transcendence and death looks at a mortal obsessed with nonsense with pitiful eyes . Because I cant say strong. Chapter 371 371. Difference in power (2) Sometimes it happens. Even if you dont have to try hard on this side, there are cases where the desired situation fits snugly. It is as natural as cogwheels meshing together. Originally, I was thinking of checking the newly acquired unique skills such as Shedding or divine < cirction > separatelyter, but the need for that has disappeared. On the contrary, should I say that it went well from this side? Its nothing else Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +100. Special buff < Time of Massacre > is activated. The efficiency of the defense pration ability increases by +10%. As you deal with the enemies in front of you, you will quickly see your new abilities. At least there wont be any loss. I smiled lightly, savoring the power permeating every corner of my body. In fact, its nothingpared to the increase in stats I got when dealing with giants like the Five Seasons, but Anyway, it would be useless to get all the stat increases anyway. In fact, I have quite a few abilities that can lightly chew on the difference in abilities. What are you doing without attacking the lord you just saw? But Ha-! Are you afraid now? You said you could take responsibility for the words of the leader you just saw? Its ridiculous. Doesnt it feel that way? Before I knew it, Cheon Kang-woonughed at me as if I wasughing as I showed signs of fighting and raised my sword. but for a while. As it was, Chun Kang-wun looked this way and as soon as he drew out the fancy sword engraved with the dragon pattern, a scream of astonishment erupted from the audience. Master-! It was easy to know that it was Snow Whites scream. Turning her head slightly, she looked at the source of the sound and saw that Snow White had an expression close to crying. I think Im doing that because I think Ive been poisoned by that mountain gong. Actually, thats not the case at all, so I roughly waved my hand to the audience and expressed that it was okay. Im fine, so you dont have to interfere in the duel. But was even this precious to Cheon Kang-woon? Chun Kang-wuns face darkened and shallow anger rose to the surface. Before he knew it, unrestrained murderous intent and hostility were boiling in his eyes. a foolish thing. Now that youve reached the sangong poison, youll be just a mediocre criminal who cant even use a handful of your strength. Dont be fooled into thinking that those Baeks can protect you. There is no need to ask for help dealing with you. under. Being cheeky. The leader who saw that he could not use even a handful of his inner strength knew. Get ready to be punished by Cheon Gang-un, you evil beast! That sounds like a lot of fun. I said it with a twisted smile on my lips. Isnt the condemnation youre talking about only for the weak in Moorim? and. Then it would be appropriate to reverse positions. next moment. Because people like you are weaklings who dont even deserve to use me of sin. In response, I immediately kicked the ground, generating the magical energy in my body all at once. *** Cheon Kang-woon is a member of the world ss master. Even if it is a little less than that of Nogoes such as Heaven and Earth, the level of martial arts is not low. Despite being over a hundred years old, his inaction has never faded. Thats why Cheon Kang-un was able to rise to the position of Murim lord even with a shallow background as a mediocre connoisseur. Whieik-! But in a hurry! In other words, it is a very mediocre skillpared to Tianhao Fifth. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The moment when Han Seong-yoons sword attack was applied in a moment that could be called ignorance. Cheon Kang-woon gave one of his arms to the enemy and let out a scream. As if he hadnt even dreamed that something like this would happen, mixed with resentment. Actually, nothing was different. Tadadat. Chun Kang-wun hurriedly widened his distance from the opponent, stopped the bleeding on his arm, and expressed his astonishment. I was shocked because my arm was suddenly cut off, but Cheon Kang-un is also one of the best masters. The fact that part of the body was cut off did not dy the judgment of the situation. Because I knew through countless experiences that that minor mistake was a shortcut to defeat. He tried hard to calm the pain with his inner energy and bit his lip as if squeezing it. Before he knew it, those two eyes were mixed with confusion, not anger. What is this? It was worth it. Isnt the original military asset a poison that can perfectly seal the opponents inner strength? At most, just a few drops of military assets make it close to impossible for even the best masters to use their inner strength. Then what is that? Cheon Kang-woon looked at Han Seong-yoon, who was weaving the sword river in front of him as if it was nothing. In fact, it doesnt seem like theres much change from before the battle with Heaven and Earth. A greedy smile, like that of a predator, hung over Han Seong-yoons mouth. Really, is that a technique that can be seen by someone addicted to military assets? Only then did Chun Kang-un sense that something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it. This situation is already like watching spilled water continue to flow. Cheon Kang-wun had tofort himself by saying that Han Seong-yoon, even though he was addicted to military assets, would be holding on with willpower and that it could notst long. It will rot! Chen Kang-wuns face contorted in an instant. but for a while. Suddenly, Cheon Kang-woon realized that he could no longer predict the odds of winning. Even if Han Seong-yoon was enduring the miasma of Gunja with only his will, he had to buy some time for Gunja to spread through his body. And most of the Murim people give an appropriate excuse and get out of the battle rather than fighting with pride in a battle that cannot be won right away. Right away you! This evil beast dares to use witchcraft in front of the lord he saw! Do you think the main lord will act the way you want! like now. I will not be seduced by that intriguing witchcraft, so I will gather all the warriors of Murim and punish you! Just as it was, Cheon Gang-un babbled excuses befitting a political faction, Murim, and shouted as he left the arena at once. Changryongdae-! Come on, stop that guy! One of the leaders moves is that he is addicted to military assets, so if you take time from that beast, your chance to win wille! Hold on! Not even that. As soon as Cheon Kang-woon came down the stage, he gave an order as if shouting and brandished his sword with his only remaining arm. Suddenly, the muddy yellow starlight rising from the sword shot out in the form of a sh, and Han Seong-yoon lightly struck it as he walked. Inherent skill Leave is strongly activated. Limited to the first blow, it provides an absolute counter. And. Kkwajijijijijijijik-! In the blink of an eye, Chun Kang-wuns sword strike was reflected and the space beyond the non-stage was heated. The soldiers of the Murimmaeng side who were there screamed, but it didntst long. In fact, the people here are members of the Changryongdae, who are treated as elite even within the Murim League. A son of a bitch! You must kill him! Do you think youre going to leave the beast alone! Before anyone knew it, the members of the Changryong team burned their fighting spirit after blocking the sh made by Han Seong-yoons starlight. In an instant, numerous martial arts were poured out with shes of light. However, even that many martial arts secrets soon disappeared as soon as Han Seong-yoon raised his sword. Its nothing else Inherent skill Shedding is strongly activated. Even if it is an attack that cannot be let go, it bes possible to shed it. It was the effect of the unique skill Shell. Just because it was a unique skill of the highest grade, countless martial arts were rendered useless. Even the attack, which is like an insubstantial fog that should have been impossible to shed, is shed. And while the members of the Changryong team who saw it vomited astonishment, they constantly stabbed swords and spears into it. What is this again What kind of witchcraft is that? under! The evil beast is using the most wicked magic! However Uses Divine < Cirction > Consumes divine power to return external interference to the outside for 1 minute. It will be granted. Even that went back to inaction the next moment. Kagagak-! It was truly invincible. Divinity < Cirction > was a conceptual divinity that returned numerous forms of interference from the outside. And as it continued, more and more members of the Changryong team uttered angry voices in fear. Huhhhh! Why cant the attack reach me! oh why! You devil-! Do you dare to seduce the council with an improbable technique! no shit! How did you end up eating it! Why doesnt the knife stick through! but for a while. Han Seong-yoon looked at it and clicked his tongue as if he had lost interest. As if there was nothing more to be gained from them. It was the same look as when an overwhelmingly strong man ys with his prey and then abandons it. Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < End >. . From now on, the effect of < Sentence > will be applied to Challenger Han Seong-yoons sacred operation . one. Kwajijijijijik! In the blink of an eye, Han Seong-yoons body was enveloped in a ck whirlpool as if it were the eye of a typhoon. All of a sudden, the energy of life began to be exploited everywhere, whether it bend, nts, or people. It is one of the fruits of the achievements of the ancient deity. It was too huge a flow for mortals like Murim people at most, and no one was given the right to reject it. The green grains that flew up from all sides were absorbed into the other side of the vortex. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!? My energy is draining out of the Danjeon Hee! You have to run away too! Isnt that a freak monster? Thats it! In just a matter of seconds, countless warriors of the Murimmaengined of pain and were deprived of their strength. Heavenly Son Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Mireuk Buddha Maitreya! The number of people who cry out to God has increased, but there is no answer to their voices. All of a sudden, the eyes of countless people were filled with primal fear, not fighting spirit or loyalty. And one of those who watched the chaotic spectacle clenched his teeth and muttered in fright. Withplete loss of hope in life. Thats the real demon king It was a scene like hell itself that had arrived in the human world. *** Achievement Descendant of the Demon King has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from achievements increases. All Stats increase by 15. Suitable. I smiled at the system message that appeared in front of me. Was it normal enough to just warm up? It was worth it. This time, the profit I got from fitting in with Cheon Kang-woons modified work was good. The effect of the unique skill Shedding has been grasped, and the divinity < cirction > has been confirmed what kind of divinity it is. Challenger Han Seong-yoon became 0.17% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against multiple warriors. Absorbed themand of Seo Jin-woo, the blue dragon sword. Absorbing the spirit of Hyeokryeonun, the spirit of the blue dragon sword Its not even just that. Even if its just a small thing, I piled up a little [Transcendence] in the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. And since the spirits obtained through necromancy will soon be a handful of stats, its not a bad result. At this point, Im satisfied enough. Of course, in the process, the characters on the Baek familys side hesitated and hesitated to approach them, perhaps because they were scared But I didnt care too much because it was enough to exin things like that anyway. I enjoyed the small sense of aplishment, then lowered my head and saw an old man kneeling on the ground. Keu-weg. Go away, you fiend. The main leader will not forgive you It was Cheon Kang-woon. Before he knew it, he was muttering that while spitting up blood with even his remaining arm cut off. But I looked down at him as if I didnt care and replied with a twisted smile. Either way. Wow-! Come on, dont pretend that hes a human and talk You bitch you dare So, is that the end of what you want to say? Hehehe. can it be Although this leader failed, the subjugation of Murims achievements will continue. This is war, fiends the duel trial is-. You mean that bastards duel trial is currently in progress? To him, I said, touching my chin as if I was having fun. okay. The dueling trial is not over. Because they said it would end when all the sins were cleared up. Heh heh heh. okay. Did you know that now, son of a bitch You are doomed to an inevitable death Then I dont have to stop either. ? It was worth it. A trial by duel was a contest where only the victor imed justice. If the duel trial continues endlessly like you said, it will be a funny scene. What is that Before I knew it, I also had a lot of fun with the duel trial, which was close to the traditional culture of Moorim. It just means simple. It wont be long before we can see interesting scenes where numerous Moorim groups are deleted. Because it meant that I would be the only justice in this Moorim. Thats huge too. Chapter 372 372. Difference in power (3) Just as it was, I powerfully extended my sword and broke the opponents head. Crackle-! Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against a peerless master, bringing her 0.77% closer to [Transcendence]. Absorbed themand of the Murim lord, Cheon Kang-un . If I had to question it, should I say its a Moorims unique passenger machine that Ive seen while climbing the tower? In fact, even battles where there is no reason to be angry with the other person or where the probability of sess is not high, they do things ording to their excitement. Without thinking about the consequences of doing so. It definitely deserves to be called a Murim person. It was no different from Chun Kang-un. This time, he said what to do with the consecutive bongmun of the old file room, saying that he would win a duel trial. In the end, he couldnt even ept the result of the duel trial he said he would start. Even when its the end, they still say insignificant things. Not even that. Before he knew it, Cheon Gang-woon reliably assumed that I was addicted, and he even told the Moorim Mengs trick. In fact, it is said that the extinction of the Baek family was led by the Murim Maeng. If I had lost the duel trial, seeing as I had brought so many warriors from the Murim League, I would have thought of personally eliminating the Baek family. It was certain. In fact, the warriors of the Murim Maeng acted without confusion as if Cheon Kang-wun knew this would happen. And the story that Cheon Kang-woon told was not a lie. It was because he said with the most certainty that there is no Murim faction that wants the Baek family to continue anywhere in the world. That alone is a fact that he has definitely found out with the eyes of a godhead. I guess all of the Murim factions, such as the Old Families and the Five Greats, are enemies here. I clicked my tongue and looked down at Chun Kang-wuns headless corpse with cold eyes. This is just the beginning. Even if they try to revive the position of the Baek family in this Murim, if the rotten link is not cut off, the Baek family has no future. If so, isnt there a certain thing that this side should do? Its fun. The whole world is the enemy Actually, in a way, I might have wanted this too. Anyway, this world is ruled by the logic of rotten power, so isnt it a perfect ce for me to grow up. Now I dont have to look after you. And thats not the end. Come to think of it, Cheon Kang-un, who was standing on the dueling ground, also said that the dueling trial would not end until all the sins were cleared. A battle in which only winners and losers distinguish good from evil. In other words, as long as the duel trial has begun, I can continue the duel trial anywhere. That too is what I want. It is simple. Weak meat strong diet. In this world, the weak in front of the strong are just a meal. And isnt it clear why this side should do that? In response, I touched the handle of the sword in my hand and drew an arc at the corner of my mouth. I can get a lot out of this time. It was worth it. Youll be able to acquire growth abilities based on necromancy and the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. Even if youre lucky, youll be able to get a unique skill, no matter how dire the odds. Even if its not that, youll be able to supply and demand things like folklore or faith that are necessary for mythology. In any case, it was to be expected. but for a while. My benefactor. Suddenly, I noticed Baek Cheon-hyeok calling me and turned my head to look at him. sorry. I had to deal with these scammers with my own hands. Somehow, I ended up burdening my benefactor again. Baek Chun-hyeok said that with a bitter smile. Perhaps I felt guilty for not being able to help wipe out the warriors of the Murim Meng That side doesnt need to apologize. I had to monopolize the spirits with necromancy anyway, so I blocked their ess with the mythical < Incarnation of the End >. no. I wanted to get rid of them all. You dont have to apologize for that. To that, I turned the iron sword drawn from the scabbard hanging from my waist and said, And the Baekgas work here is my job. It was true. Originally, revitalizing the Baek family was what I had to do, right? To put it bluntly, Im not in a position to listen to such words because I have a big heart to get a reward. iced coffee. Indeed, it is a grand bargain itself. I was impressed with the consideration that was the same as Hahae. Benefactor. ? I heard well that for a knight, unreasonable persecution is the same as ones own work. This Baek family head is a sublime that I dare not touch. . But did he hear it differently? No Seeing Baek Chun-hyeoks eyes shining with feelings like longing for him, his conscience pricked. I had to earn rewards with real necromancy, so I killed the enemies alone. sublime? There is nothing like that. To put it another way, I was worried that the other side would actively kill the warriors of the Murimmaeng side, so I subtly kept thepetitor(?) in check. Isnt that why Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > was activated and the whole area was pressed down? Even if its a one-in-a-kind chance, if the Baek family kills even one of the enemies, I cant absorb themand with Necromancy. I just didnt want to take a loss. Master! and indeed! Thats how it happened! You are indeed a great mind! Oh, so it was! I finally understood Masters heavenly meaning! If that were the case, now even Snow White, who had approached with gunfire, joined in. She nodded C shook her head violently and said with a twinkle in her eyes. It was as if he had put a great hero in an epic in front of him. At this point, I cant even understand what this side is saying. the heart? what? No, do you have a deep meaning to understand from the other side? this? I didnt even have time to open my mouth and exin. You must have read the thoughts of the Thousand Lords, that greedy man. It is believed that the Moorim League participated in the attack of the Baek family. Thats why he visited the majority of the old file rooms. yes? A truly tremendous battle of wisdom!! ? Then Master knew even the betrayal of the old file room from the beginning! Ha ha ha, without that, there is no way to destroy the majority of the old file rooms. A normal person. . Could this be the Godot spin-off Ive only heard of? Every time exmations continued from that pure girl in front of me, pain arose as if digging into my chest. He probably didnt show it before, but it seemed that he was worried that he had closed the majority of the old file rooms for no reason. Baek Seol-hwa continued talking with a smile on her face, as if she were a great detective who had solved a riddle. That act had such a meaning! A clever move, as if he read the heavenly secrets and foresaw the future Master, there really is nothing he cant do No. Its Snowke. Do not doubt. Isnt he the one among the knights who saved this white family? It has a deep meaning, of course. Its not. yes. Father I think I got it wrong. You must have been finding tricks in any situation. Its really amazing No, no. Of course, Im ashamed to say the spections of the two of you with my own mouth, but they are all true. It would be too embarrassing to exin that as an illusion now. Achievement Master of Shamelessness has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement increases. Agility increases by 4 I do. Really too much. *** Time passed so quickly. There were a number of troublesome things that apanied the damage caused by the attack caused by the Murimmaeng and, in addition, the settlement of the damage. This side was quick to deal with, so of course there was no loss of life. And as soon as that was over, the Baek family decided to call an emergency meeting as if it had to be like this. . A meeting room in the building of Baekga. Sitting in one of the seats of honor there, I listened with my arms crossed. After the incident was over and the Baek family entered the meeting space inside, several people joined in and urgent meeting agendas came and went. It is a clear fact that the Thousand Lord, that ruffian wanted to reunite with his family! Even this old man knows that! Thats why were going to war! Then you should do it! under-! Do you think the war between the great factions is a joke? This is something that needs to be negotiated amicably on this side! I cant cause any more damage to Sega! never! hmm. Fix both. Elder Bon believes that alliance support between the ns is needed for this work. The cause of this fight is on this side, right? Use it to build support alliances But most of them were ineffective. What is this again? War, negotiations, alliances Even though they were warriors of high status among those who survived the raid on the side of the Baek family, they spat out ambiguous words. Somehow, rather than being here, it seemed morefortable to just go to the Moorim Meng and destroy everything there. First of all, I heard that Sega was having a meeting, so I listened to something, but I was dumbfounded. I thought the elders with high titles would harmonize their opinions one by one, but before I knew it, even that didnt work out properly. A reason? Where is it? under-! Do you think the people of the world will believe that the Moorim Mengs damned ones tried to attack us? No way. However, those who are dissatisfied with the Murimmaeng will believe it. Whether thats real or not. Elder Bon is trying to get support from the munpa expelled from the old file room. Rotten! What kind of bastards support is needed in a war between the munpa? Its only right that the Baek family gather all the remaining warriors on their side and openly wage war! Even after time passed, opinions were divided. Whoa And thats not the end. At their words, Baek Cheon-hyeok frowned as if he was troubled. As if there was nothing in their words that would not be considered. It was too much for me to take care of it now, so I pushed the chair back with a squeaking sound and said coldly. In my opinion, they are all disqualifications. I continued to speak with a cold re in my eyes. A truly highly efficient strategy runs counter to those alternatives. Was that a burden on the other side? The elders sitting at the head of the meeting room flinched and began to notice. Perhaps they were curious about what I was thinking and why I was doing this. It was an idea that I didnt need to hide so much, so I continued talking with a smile on my face. Its simple and incredibly effective. Is there such a trick!? But its a pity. . If you just shut up and charge into the enemy camp as soon as you see it, isnt it a strategy and sphemy? Because the original strategy itself is useful only when it is strictly kept secret even inside. Yes Because Sorry. But I didnt say it outright. Is it because the image of a psychological warfare genius (?) has been unintentionally covered? Even so, I thought that strategic intelligence belonged to a fairly high axis even for myself, so I said with a look of deep thought. But I am sure that this will solve the numerous disputes surrounding Baekga at once. In fact, this would be one of the wisest axes. Well, the details are my own trade secrets. Of course, my conscience stung a little. But its not an outright lie. Well, in any battle, the simplest strategy is the most effective strategy. You just need to know this. In fact, most of the things Ive been through have been like that. A folding whirlpool So I smiled brightly in one of the conference rooms and buried myself in the dark. All enemies of the Baek Family will disappear. That would be too And that overnight. Murim Meng. The coalition of Murim factions, which is often treated as the cornerstone of the political faction, Murim Now, it will perish and disappear overnight without leaving even a single trace. *** swish-. In the blink of an eye, I transferred to the sky close to a certain cloudyer and smiled broadly. . Bondi, I got rid of the majority of the old file rooms and also knew the approximate location of the Moorim Maeng. Before I knew it, I felt a lot of things when I transferred to the sky with the ck magic [Tending Vortex]. Like how many tasty treats are down there. All the Murim people in thend of the Murim Alliance seemed enormous. Its fun. Not even that. Before I knew it, I realized that there were no ordinary people on thend of the Murim Meng. In fact, by the standards of ordinary people, there were many strong people who were treated as far beyond. If thats the case, shouldnt this side feel hesitant about the massacre? I cant believe there were so many prey I widened my eyes at that and drew an arc at the corner of my mouth as if in a mad rage. Isnt it the best? and. shall we start. next moment. Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < End >. . From now on, the effect of < Sentence > will be applied to the divine operation of challenger Han Seong-yoon. When < Sentence > is activated, you can consume divine power to corrupt the rank of a specific opponent. Jijijijijijik-! In an instant, there was a sound of something tearing in the air, and a ck whirlpool raged violently. It looks as if the concept of the apocalypse itself has been turned into a whirlpool. It was being driven down into thend where the Murim Maeng building was located. That means one thing. Its nothing else . It was the end. Chapter 373 373. Difference of power (4) The Senate. One of the internal forces leading the original Murimmaeng. The old people belonging there were all from the previous generation, and although they could not bepared to the Tianhao Festival, which had been going on for 300 years, they had a great influence. I will give this elder a chance with the authority of the Murim Maeng leader. like now. If you join us in erasing the traces of the Sandongbaek family from Murim, we will raise your status as a monk with the authority of the Senate. Conference room inside the Senate. An eyeless, gray-haired old man wearing an eyepatch, sitting in the seat of honor there, spoke in an extremely arrogant tone. But none of those sitting inside the senate pointed it out to the blind old man. I promise to be the guardian of the elder Jin Heo-ja, so you dont have to think that it will be a lie. It was worth it. Isnt that blind old man from Taesangjangro of the great shaman faction? Jin Heo-ja exercised influence within the Murim Alliance not only through Ilshins inaction but also through numerous personal connections in the Samantha. You should know that this is a genius opportunity for you guys. It was so great that even Cheon Kang-un, the current Murim lord, could not treat the blind old man carelessly. Isnt it really so? Jinheoja licked his lips with a friendly smile on his lips. Isnt the survival of the majority of the current Gupabangs in jeopardy because of Baekgas menacing tricks? But every sound the blind old man put in his mouth sounded terrifying. Then, depending on how the main group emerges, the power level of the Gupabang will change. Just as you monks were humiliated because of that in the past. Isnt that right? It was said that most of the old file rooms that were no longer needed by the Murim Alliance would be excavated. Originally, the Murim Maeng is like a union. If that were the case, since the majority of the Gupas had lost their power, it was clear that they would have to contribute to the reconstruction of their faction sooner orter. And that is a huge loss for the Moorim Meng. Bon Maeng doesnt want to spend that much effort in rebuilding the faction of the old family members. There was no reason to do that. Arent they idiots who can only be annihted by a single beast? Jinheoja stroked his white beard and smiled. Perhaps it is because they are old-fashioned forces. I wascent in my own reality. This elder judged that you were better than the old forces. and. Arent you alienated from the Old File Room because of those old-fashioned forces? So Ill give you a chance A chance to get the position you deserved to have. As soon as Jin Heo-ja finished speaking, the people sitting in the conference room drooled. This is because all the people sitting in the Senate meeting room are heads of ns or ns that have a history of being excluded from the old file room in the past. It sounds sweet that the blind old man is not enough to sue the majority of the existing Gupabang, and to adjust their position upwards. Only then did a man from Haenampa in a ck uniform ask a question. Then, does that mean that Haenampa will also be made into a Gupailbang like the old days? Jin Heo-ja replied with a kind smile. Yes Of course, if you cooperate in eliminating the Shandongbaek family from Wulin. If so, anyone will. That means one thing. Even if something happens on the side of the Shandong Baek family, they should contribute to the extinction of the Baek family. But none of these people here hesitated. Before long, the heads of each faction gathered in the conference room were whispering to each other as if weighing specific profits and losses. Isnt it not a loss if you can squeeze into the map of power of the Gupai room just by removing that mountain camellia? Right. However, there is no harm in doing so. Baek Chun-hyeok, head of the Shandong Baek family, was considered a knight among knights. If thats the case, it could be caught in the public opinion No. Actually, it wont be that big either. You can change how the world sees you. Actual profit is more important than just cause. But it didntst long. hmm. The Haenampa will cooperate with the extermination of those Majol bastards of the Sandongbaek family. ha ha ha! Hwangbo will also help with the great cause of Jin Heo Jin! I didnt like the Shandongbaek family who yed with swordsman from the beginning! Its like the Mosan wave. The Baekga stop all they know is to be polite about the subject of being called a swordsman. They deserve to disappear. After some time passed, not one of them answered like that. Its good that opinions are so wellmunicated. Only then did Jin Heo-ja nod as if he liked it. This elder understood well what you meant. A smile formed on Jin Heos lips. If the lord of the thousandes back, I will tell you the contents of my agreement with you. In a few months, it will be the Old Families and the Five Greats, and their power will change significantly. Only then did the people gathered in the conference room burst intoughter. Hahaha! The thought of this Hwangbo being called one of the five generations makes me feel better. I will never forget the grace of my Jinheojinin. ha ha ha. It is the same as Haenampa. This grace, this opportunity, I will never forget this moment. We will cooperate well with this alliance. If this is true, arent the people here now the talented people who will lead Moorim? I want to be friends with the people here. The atmosphere in the conference room quickly became harmonious. Jinheoja also participated in the conversation with an empty smile as if he was not bad. Just by dealing with a public enemy, it was a matter of providing mutual benefit to each other, so a friendly feeling was formed. Deed-! but for a while. uh? Suddenly, things like tables and pots in the meeting room were shaken violently, breaking the harmony. What is that? Not even that. Before they knew it, they saw something like a ck star falling through the window of the Senate Chamber. An overwhelming whirlpool crashing down to the ground, as if swallowing life itself. It had the ominous quality of the end of the world itself. Woo woo woo woo-! Those who were invited here were dreaming of a rosy future until just now. The dream of bing a member of the Gupabang or enjoying the glory gained by filling the vacancy of the five generations. However, the contents of this meeting were never actually used. That would be the case. The next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Because the time of the inevitable end had arrived. *** Kkwajijijijikjik! The moment when hends on the ground and absorbs the vitality of various ces with the Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End >. Achievement Appearance of the Great Evil has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. Reward levels obtained from achievements increase. All stats increase by 4. Rising. I frowned at the system message that appeared in front of me. The appearance of a great evil? Somehow, it seems like Ive been being negatively affected by the systemtely. I had tough because I was dumbfounded. Isnt it often said that when you go to Rome, follow the Romanw? This side is just getting a small reward ording to the legitimatew of Murim, and its just embarrassing to do so. Its okay because the reward is worth watching. but for a while. The moment I looked away from the system message. From beyond the crushed earth, as if a crater had appeared, a sophisticated longsword flew towards us, drawing a light-colored trail. Whoa-! What is this again? and. Evil radiation bastard! Then, as I broke the sword flying through the air, a furious sound came from beyond. How dare you make such a fuss about how safe this ce is! Only then did I turn my head to the source of the sound, and then I could see a man wearing a blue uniform. If I had to guess, it was like a guard guarding this ce but the man in front of me was at the level of a master, not just a guard. A man in a blue uniform screamed in anger. I think I came here aiming for the day when the main alliance meeting was to be called, but you are no different from being surrounded by numerous members of the alliance! Hearing that, I nodded as if I had realized something. Ah, is that why there were only masters in this vastnd? Close to optimal timing itself. In any case, the Murim Maeng, which has nomon people, has nothing to shy away from. Judging from what the man in the blue uniform in front of me said, it seemed that the high-ranking members of the Murim League were having a meeting Then it was clear what to do. under! You stupid radiation bastard! I will give you a torture worse than death!! Crackle-! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against a top-notch master has brought her 0.0004% closer to [Transcendence]. Absorbed the spirit of Jin Woo-jung, the white sword demon . As it was, I split the opponents torso in half and looked at the warriors from the Murimmaeng side running from beyond. Thats it! intruder! How dare you know where the Blind is! this! A spooky radiation bastard-! How dare youe here with sorcery! Its witchcraft-! Try not to touch that bastards witchcraft as much as possible and try to subdue it with camp! There was no excitement whatsoever. After all, they will be reduced to ashes in a few minutes. no. Its not even worth taking that long. The authority skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing the divinity < Transcendence > is created. The moment I opened my palm and expanded the starlight orb over it to the limit. Skill starlight expansion is strongly activated . In the blink of an eye, the starlight expanded and exploded like a balloon touched by the tip of a needle, sweeping everywhere. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 0.031% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against a peerless master. Absorbed themand of Baekho Daeju, Sim Woo-hyeon. Absorbed the spirit of Gyoryong Daeju, Seo Woo-baek. Gakwoon Daeju It absorbed the spirit of Jin Woo-jung. . I had to smile at that. Its fun. Should I say that it isfortable to use strength without being obsessed with martial arts? Now that the ordeal of the longing is nearing the end, he had no intention of limiting his power. As it was, I kicked off the ground and exploded ck starlight everywhere, and then numerous spirits came into my hands. Kwajijijijijik-! How much time had passed like that? Is it over there? Before long, I was able to find a splendid building that looked the most important. A situation where it is assumed that there are probably the most important characters over there. So, when I ran to that side, unexpectedly, strong men with vast amounts of magic were standing at the entrance. If you go back now, I wont hold you guilty. Even in a state where everyone is terrified. Do you know how great a sin youmit? As I stood in front of him, an old man wearing an eyepatch said with his beard trembling. He didnt show much, but the other side was very frightened. I could instinctively notice it. This elder is the deputy leader of this alliance! If you hurt this Jinheojin, you wont be safe! Do you understand? but for a while. And if there is anything you want, I will give you what you want. But remember that if you refuse even this, everyone here will only be your enemy. A warning. Hearing the words of the old man wearing an eye patch in front of me, I smiled. Thats absurd. As if he had heard a silly joke. If you harm an innocent person, there is no choice but to umte karma. Are you innocent? you? greatness! there is no The old man just worked hard for the justice of Murim. I have notmitted any sin. I swear. It was actually simr. There can be no sin. ? You are all guilty. What is that Originally, in this Moorim, what is a sin is not decided by the weak. Isnt that obvious? Isnt Moorim a world where only the rule of the jungle is applied by default? You are weaker than me. If so, the weak side is also limited in their qualifications to talk about their sins. Isnt that enough reason to kill all of you? Because only the overwhelmingly strong can decide that. Chapter 374 374. Difference in strength (5) Most small animals often freeze in fright in front of a beast. It has no choice but to be overwhelmed by the predator in front of it. This was no different. That would be the case too . Before I knew it, the expression of the masters standing over there was a fear that could not be hidden. I guess he realized that hes not in a position to say that hell look after him. Of course, the time of silence itself is not very long. Maybe ten seconds at most? But that was enough for them. At best, to realize that they are nothing more than prey in front of a beast. Tadadak-! Still, I wonder if I have noticed because I followed the rules of the jungle. The enemies standing in front of me moved at high speed, leaving afterimages like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it reached a speed close to subsonic, and the masters rushed this side as if they were doing their best. There was not even a shout that is often heard in battle. Its just that their face is full of terrified killing intentions based on an instinctive desire to survive. but for a while. Kagagak-! Inherent skill Down is strongly activated. Even if it is an attack that cannot be shed, it bes possible to shed it. This is more useful than I thought. The moment I shed countless herbivores at once without a change in expression. Astonishment appeared on the faces of the masters who drew different trajectories as if they were attacking an invisible blind spot. As if nothing like this could ever happen, mixed with negative emotions. But, unlike them, I didnt feel anything particrly exciting. This side is more disappointing than I thought. It was far below expectations. Even though it was not at the level of the top-notch powerhouse like Cheonhaojeol, they expected their own propaganda. At least I thought that if I saw this side and went quietly, I would pretend I didnt see it this time. If so, what is this? I clicked my tongue at that. What the hell is this? It was worth it. At least, the speed itself in close proximity can be said to be excellent, but even taking that into ount, the uracy of the technology and the level of understanding of the technology itself are pitiful. Theres nothing worth looking at other than the amount of horsepower Not even that. Even from the point of view of pure martial arts, even if it was gruesome, the utilization of basic physical abilities was less. Most of the people who rushed to this side put excessive tension on their bodies, so their bodies, swords, and strength were not properly loaded. It was a poor result for a high-speed attack. Should I say its like watching a wooden doll clumsily mimic human actions with its entire body creaking? If I had to count each mistake, there would be no end to it. Its pitiful. Then there was no need to waste time. The skill Fresh Seeker is strongly activated.] After all, there is no need to win overwhelmingly with martial arts against enemies anymore. Kaga gagak-! next moment. Kuk-! Kreukreukreuk! Kuh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The bloody mist that flowed from his entire body changed like arge thorn and pierced the body of his enemies. Kkwajiik-. Challenger Han Seong-yoon gained 0.11% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against multiple masters. Absorbed themand of Taesan Kwonseong Hwang Bo-woo-jung. Absorbed themand of Haenam One Sword Seo Jun-baek Absorbed the spirit of Mosan Hyunseon, Baek Ok-hyeon . And that was it. After being pierced by the thorns of fresh blood, the blood was drained and absorbed, leaving only skinny corpses. I then recovered even the blood that had flowed out of my body and turned my head to look at the old man in front of me. Exactly Ah ah ah? He was Jin Heo Jin. Could it be that he didnt know that everyone would die like this for a mere moment? Before he knew it, Jin Heo Jinin ttered his jaws and repeatedly made grotesque noises like a broken doll. No this I am Jin Heo Jin-in continued to break out in a considerable amount of cold sweat, and then his tone became more and more earnest. It wasnt just pure psychological pressure. Since the mythic < Incarnation of the End > has been activated, even the life force over there is being taken away in real time, so I know that I am doing that. In fact, it was. Please save me!! ? I beg of you! Ill give you everything you ask for This elder is the acting chief of the blind, so I can grant all your requests! There is no lie in this one! It was absurd. There are no lies? Thats right!! I can swear even with the life of this elder No way. ? I replied with a smile on my lips. Did you lie? What is that They said there was no sin. and then. Are you saying that the real elder is guilty because he is weaker than you? okay. There are more than that but for now, thats it. Hearing those words, Jin Heo Jinin responded with a ripple in his eyes, stuttering. Even so, Elder Bon is one of the elders of the non-partisan faction. So, if Elder Bon dies, the non-partisan will step out. Dont do that It takes Why do most of the Murim people, such as Cheon Kang-un and Jin Heo-jin, talk about the strength of the group when they realize that they are the weak ones? Theres no way I could do anything like that. At least, Cheon Kang-wun realized that he had no way to survive and even ran away, but the other side just trembled and begged for help. Even if you dont, this elder can give you anything you want! money power honor! everything! Not only that, but I can also give you treasures like being a recruit!! but for a while. Thats not up to you to decide. ah? Because thats the reward I deserve. I said that as if to stop talking nonsense that didnt even make sense to him. Youre a Murim person who always talks about dueling trials, dont you know that? He would too That means there was nothing you could offer me from the start. Hey hey-! Son of a bitch! I dared to y with the elder Bone!! Kkwajijijijikjik-! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against Gosu brought him 0.08% closer to [Transcendence]. Absorbed the spirit of the shaman sage Jinheoja. . Isnt that thew of Moorim? *** It was right after he got rid of the Murimmaeng in an instant. Myth < Incarnation of the End > is deactivated. Just like that, I stopped using the Myth < Incarnation of the End > and looked at the barrennd of Murimmaeng. Seeing that I couldnt feel any signs of life nearby, it seemed like everyone died from dot damage Anyway, it was as if there was less work to do, so I quickly gathered the spirits scattered all over the ce at once. Only then will he be able to grow, albeit in a small way, by obtaining rewards through necromancy. and then. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits Muscle strength increased by 115 Agility increased by 113 HP increased by 122 Magic power increased by 134 Durability increased by 113 119 has risen. The next moment. The skill Blue Dragon Qigong (B+) will be created. The skill Sungcheon de (C-) will be created The skill Presence Control (D) will be created Thats great. Looking at the system messages appearing in front of my eyes, I was satisfied that I had earned a salty side ie. Skill absorption judgments, which are not normally triggered, burst continuously and acquired quite a few skills. In fact, as long as there was the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, the skill I possessed was an independent power from the tower, so the more I had, the worse it was. Inherent Authority Skill Synthesis is activated. Not only that. Browse the list of skills. Choose a synthesis material from among the existing skills. Synthesis of skills. The authority Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Luck temporarily and violently increases. Based on the unique powers obtained while climbing the tower, you can create new abilities by rbining skills as much as you like. The Divine < Luck > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used. The Divine < Luck > adds luck to some situations and tunes them in a beneficial direction. Greatly increased. Immediately Skill synthesis has beenpleted. New skills are created. Just like now. Skill C Best breathing (S-) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C The user can breathe at its best in any state. You can recover 1%.] Breathing at its best. In other words, this sides magic power would no longer be exhausted. Recovering 1% of your total magic power every 4 seconds just by breathing? In fact, I limited myself to skills that use magic power, and the need to feel burdened by the cost of consuming half of the magic power has disappeared. no. want more than that There must be synergy between skills. At least one group battle was enough to get this amount ofpensation. If so, what can be achieved next? Imagining about him has its own fun. Its fun. and. Its a perfect conquest of Murim Only then did I wipe off the blood on my sword and look up at the sky, my eyes twinkling. A time when there is no sign of sunset. There was still a lot of time this side could spend. Then it was clear what to do. Theres just too much time left. Guess Its worth a try. During this day, it will be a repetitive task that will allow you to obtain numerous rewards ording to your taste. It might be annoying. It is also of very high efficiency. *** Time passed quickly. Was it thanks to theplete destruction of the Moorim Meng, which I felt was like a thorn in my eye? Since there was nothing to shy away from now, I quickly eliminated the remaining old-school and five-generation rooms one by one. Achievement Extinction of the n was achieved. Achievement Eliminate Divine Sword was achieved] Achievement Eradication of the Sapas was achieved] . It wasnt that difficult. If its just a game, should I say its the feeling of repeating hunting in a hunting ground where you can level up well? Knowing that this was a very efficient growth route, they were removing visible ces such as the Murim Moonpan and the Murim Sega, but there was no particr inspiration. Because its so easy. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Hee! A monster A monster A monster appeared! Haaaaagh-! Ask for support from the Doo Alliance Munpa! Come on! We have to stop that monster no matter what! Of course, while this one was a boring and repetitive hunting game, the other one seemed like a defense game with an insane level of difficulty but [The skill Steel Feed is activated.] Even that didntst long. Completely absorbed. Muscle strength increases by 15. Stamina increases by 16. Agility increases by 21. Durability increases by 17. Magic power increases by 18. It is a treasure, and I got it all and swallowed it lightly like my multivitamin(?). Either that, or by enticing the enemys spirits with necromancy, he also obtained skills and all stats-up rewards. And how many times did you do that? Even Moorim, which had shown miracles like an inexhaustible fountain, was nowing to an end. Achievement Conquest of Murim has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 100 I do. That means one thing. Special Contract Ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman (Q) > has been cleared. It has been confirmed that they are receiving more than trustworthy appraisal from Mr. ). The rewards for clearing the special contract ordeal are set at the highest level, and additional rewards are paid. For the next few days, the settlement time will continue within the stage. Yeah Its nothing else Now its time to go back to the tower. Finally, the long-cherished ordeal wasing to an end. Chapter 375 375. Dimension Cradle (1) Seeing the system message in front of me, I smiled bitterly. Achievement Conquest of Murim has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 100 I will. He must be . Its because he noticed that the ordeal of his earnest wish was about toe to an end. okay. Now its really over I felt regret linger in my mouth. Originally, when I climbed the tower, Murim didnt feel very wee, but it wasnt like that anymore. Should I say it feels like finding an oasis at the end of a bloody desert? After adjusting to the physiology here, living in Moorim itself felt quite attractive. Does this feel like cutting open the belly of the goose thatys the golden eggs? But it didntst long. As is often said, there are no infinite resources in the world . In fact, the sight in front of his eyes could be said to be proof of that. I cant believe theres nothing more to be gained from this honey pot And with only traces of burnt-down buildings. This ce could no longer be regarded as an environment in which creatures could live. Its just that this side has been unknowingly polluting the ground just by letting the divine starlight dwelling with the divine < Death >. Its very unfortunate. And it wasnt just here. It would be no different from the numerous other Murim forces that this side broke during the day. It was all the more so because all the visiblerge-scale Murim forces, whether Jeongpai or Sapain, werepletely eliminated. That means one thing. Its nothing else You have cleared the Special Contract Ordeal < The Last Wish : White Crane Swordsman >. It has been confirmed that the White Crane Swordsman (Q) of the contract ordeal has more than trusted appraisal. The clear reward for the special contract ordeal is set at the highest level, and additional rewards are paid. But Mr. Baek Settlement time will continue within the stage for several days until Segas reputation is known to Murim . At this point, there is nothing more to look at, but this means that the revival of the Baek family has been confirmed. It was worth it. In this world, Murim is a confederation, or a ce like a munpa or sega, and it rolls around. If thats the case, havent I destroyed all the ces that started with the Murim League, the Old Families, and the Five Greats. If so, the ce that survived was the structure that won. This is the victory of the Baek family who survived. It is because the reconstruction of a family referred to in Moorim is not an absolute evaluation, but a rtive evaluation. Of course, the immediate clearing of the ordeal did not appear because the revival of the Baek family was not properly known yet but it did not matter. Anyway, I also nned to spend some time at the Baek family and teach Baek Seol-hwas martial arts a little more. This also had its own charm. Actually, I want to look at the arrangement of the lightsaber festival somewhere in Moorim while I have time left If I had to argue, the fact that there was nothing I could do even if I tried to work more in this field also helped in that choice. Its impossible because I cant use the inventory. lightsaber. It is one of the divine powers given to this side in the past by injecting divine < Harmony > into the Ind Skill (S+). Well, the lightsaber system was greatly suppressed for being a god after being chosen by the tower, but I was curious about what was in the treasure house that the god had gathered. But even that is not yet the time. It cant be helped. Originally, it would have been possible to find the arrangement of the lightsaber system in Murim based on the tracking ability inherent in the S+, but the items obtained from the tower are I wont be able to write anything. In fact, since I couldnt use the inventory itself, I couldnt even explore the arrangement of the lightsaber system. Even if you use the inventory by activating the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >, the tower will immediately stop the ordeal of your earnest desire ordingly, so it is meaningless. I have nothing more to do. It is only to be faithful to the role yed by this side until the ordeal of the earnest wish ispletely over, and the perfect revival of the Baek family should be the only thing. At that, I turned my head and looked at the ruinednd with a smile on my lips. It was expected. Isnt even the Murim of the past reproduced by the Tower so interesting? Then, what about Moorim in the outside world? It wont be long before you find out about him. It wouldnt be bad to listen to it just once to kill time. Its just Ah,e to think of it, there must be more to be gained from Moorim outside than just the arrangement of the lightsaber festival, right? It felt very unfortunate that it would be my first andst visit to Moorim. just the thought of going to Murim over there makes my mouth water. or not. *** Time flies no matter what. Even if this side gets bored with wasting time withoutpensation, that fact doesnt change. Having wiped out countless ns in one day, I went back to the Baek family and took care of the things needed to rebuild the family. Achievement Family Reconstruction has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 4. I do. Its not difficult. It wasnt too difficult. After all, the only thing this side could do was use their strength. Even thanks to the direct destruction of numerous Murim factions, now the Baek family hadplete trust in my armed forces. Because of that, the work of promoting the fame of the Baek family to the whole Moorim progressed smoothly and without any obstructions, unlike before. And in the rest of his free time, he devoted himself to educating Baek Seol-hwa in her swordsmanship. Its very delicate too. You shouldnt see your opponents movements as they are. You have to observe the other person as much as possible and consider the contraction of all muscles, the depth of breathing, the wriggling of energy, etc. before moving. ? How the hell do you know that? You can feel it just by pretending. Perhaps, over time, you will be able to detect even the smallest vibrations in the air. Still, it had its own fun. Its just climbing the tower and teaching her half-self-learnedbat skills In fact, for Snow White, her skills have grown steeply, as if even this acted as a great realization. Is this a genius? In response, I watched Snow White wielding a sword while sweating profusely in one of the gymnasiums and admired it. Its amazing. It was worth it. At some point, Baek Seol-hwa had a perfect understanding of the new sword union, and even that was not enough, and she was entering the stage of changing the nature of sword skills. As if now I know how the techniques I use work. Come to think of it, the other day he said that he could follow this sides training if he had enough mana in his body It doesnt look like he was wrong. Its enough to say that the ws arepletely gone. In fact, she showed a natural prominence. A level of near-perfect proficiency in changing the nature of sword mes in just two days. Well, I still havent reached the level of swordsmanship, but I had noints because I definitely had a taste for teaching. Honestly, Snow White also said that she became the first person in the world, so its natural for her to do this. So I stuck to Baek Seol-hwa and poured out my passion in teaching martial arts. How many days have passed like that? A day, two days, three days, four days. Many peaceful days continued due to the elimination of the Moorim forces of different tendencies, who were fighting against each other. and. Master. what day it was It was the afternoon when Snow Whites training was over and the evening sunset colored the gymnasium. Originally, since training, one of the daily routines, was over, both of them should have chatted and dispersed at this point. Suddenly, Snow White flirted with her and smiled on her face, and then she approached as if she had something to show her. I have something to show the master. ? Hmmmm! Oh, dont be too surprised to see this! No matter how much I think about it, it seems like I have talentparable to Master! She didnt even give me a chance to answer, then she raised the wooden sword in her hand and said. Whoop whoop. If I show you this, Master-nim will be surprised too, right? and. Thats right, this is a skill that even Master didnt teach me. The moment she said that and injected energy into the wooden sword. Only then did I realize why Snow White spoke so triumphantly. That would be the case, because the wooden sword in her hand began to glow with pure white light, and then it shone as if it were a single starlight. I knew what it was. Geomgi Seonggang () In fact, isnt that a skill that can only be manifested when ones mana maniption skills as a swordsman reach the limit? I couldnt help but be surprised because all I had taught her so far wasbat techniques or changes in the nature of sword me. It was because this side had never taught Baek Seol-hwa the various knowledge to be able to use the sword so skillfully. but for a while. support position-. Before I knew it, the strong qi formed on Snow Whites wooden sword swayed, and then it disappeared. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu It seems that it hasnt been long since she has reached the level of swordsmanship. How was it? To be honest, it was like this. It was great. It was amazing. You didnt tell me anything in particr from this side, but youre awakening your own swordsmanship? In fact, it was only in the fierce battle between life and death that I finally realized the sword steel, so I couldnt help but be surprised. Whoops! Yes? This is the stage I reached based on the skills Master showed me! Im sure I have the talent to match Masters, right? In response to her persistent question, I smiled and nodded my head. yes. You definitely have talent. It was huge. At that, Snow White smiled widely and said with a shy expression. Then there is no need to hesitate. As if he had made up his mind to do what he had to do. Master. and. I want to be an official disciple of Master Han Seong-yoon. yes? I mean it! Master Han Seong-yoon is the best person in the world, right? And even in the eyes of the master, the best person in the world, my talent is outstanding! The next moment. So Before I knew it, I could see the desire for strength reflected in her eyes. Please be my teacher. I am. Please help me be a martial artist like you. However, it wasnt just the desire for strength that was reflected in her eyes. I want to be a soldier who can stand side by side with Master. It was a kind of longing-like feeling. Somehow, I think I had a longing for the overwhelming power I showed . It was just like that. The snow white flowers in front of me were fakes reproduced by the tower. Even if it is infinitely the same as the main body, it will disappear before long. With that in mind, it didnt matter much whether he listened to her or not. However, for some reason, I didnt really want to give up the expectations of Snow White in front of me. Because they are priests At least, that was the case for now. Thats not bad either. Feeling a strange sense of dj vu, I smiled and nodded while saying that. It was a sign of his intention to ept her as a disciple. For a moment, Snow Whites face was filled with joy, but her words were not connected. That should be the case too Complete calction ofpensation. Reward will be paid ording to the emotional state of White Crane Swordsman. As a reward for breaking through the special contract ordeal, Deep Divinitys Call (EX) It will be sent to this inventory. As an additional breakthrough reward for the special contract ordeal, the Bracelet of Sacred Absorption (SSS-) will be sent to your inventory. Now that the ordeal of her longing, which was her wish, is over. Chapter 376 376. Dimension Cradle (2) In an instant, the sight in my field of vision changedpletely. Complete calction ofpensation. Reward is given ording to the emotional state of White Crane Swordsman. As a reward for breaking through the special contract ordeal, Deep Divinitys Call (EX) will be sent to your inventory. As an additional breakthrough reward for the special contract ordeal, the Bracelet of Divine Absorption (SSS-) will be sent to your inventory. The world is dyed in darkness. As if this ce didnt even deserve to exist any longer. The moment the world created by the tower disappeared like a mirage. It was only then that I was able to ept that the ordeal of my earnest wish from Baekhak Geomseon hade to a perfect end. If I had to ask, I should have been happy with this. Originally, the fact that it was a secret request given by the manager is a very difficult ordeal that ordinary challengers cannot even dare to dare to do. Clearing this itself is an indicator of how far I havee. When I was a challenger climbing the 10th floor of the tower at most, I was even warned not to challenge like a moth because I was blinded by the reward that woulde at the end of the ordeal. But now it wasnt. It wasnt that difficult. no. Should I say the opposite again? Now, the top side checks that this side will clear the ordeal of the longing so easily, and its to the point of putting up a lot of penalties. It was actually easy to clear. obviously. However, in a way, it was natural. Even if the tower adds numerous penalties, isnt this an ancient deity? It was at least as simple as cultivating the best martial arts power in the fake world reproduced by the tower. Considering that he had struggled even with ordinary challengers from the other world who had no divinity, it could be said that it was a tremendous improvement. Originally, it was thought that it would be extremely proud after oveing all the trials of this longing, which I thought would struggle since the days when I was just a challenger to the tower. Because a lot has changed from the past. But But Its pointless. Not really. Of course, there was nock of joy that could be said to be a sense of growth. Its just that its aplicated feeling because of the bitter taste in my mouth rather than the pure joy that it has reached this ce. Is it a wish that leaves nothing It was just like that. Anyway, the wish Baekhakgeomseon wished for during his lifetime could note true. Even if they were to fulfill their long-cherished ordeal within the stage built at the discretion of the Tower, there would be nothing left except for the reward they received. Last time it was like this. It was the same as when he received and cleared the trial of his earnest wish from the iron blooded lord. The world facing her destruction cannot be returned by breaking the ordeal of the towers earnest wish. The only thing an iron-blooded lord can do is cling to his delusion while seeing a wish that cante true. And it was no different in the Baekhak inspection. In the original history, the Baek family must have perished. Originally, her family would have perished and disappeared without leaving any traces anywhere. Perhaps she was the only one who got out of the Baek family family, which was about to end, and wandered around, eventually entering the tower. Even that didnt seem particrly hopeful. Anyway, if Baekhak Geomseon had been able to revive the Baek family, this would not have remained her long-cherished wish. He felt the bitter taste in his mouth grow stronger. Maybe its because Ive gotten used to it? but for a while. Still, its less messy thanst time. Before I knew it, I shook my head and brushed off the remaining thoughts. Well, its not like you cane up with a better answer if you think about it further. Of course, in the end, when I think of how Snow White said she wanted to treat me as a teacher, the bitterness deepens . Rather than things I cant really touch, I should start with things I can do myself. So I have entered the forest. Now its time to return to where I should be. Then, when I closed my eyes and opened them, I saw the inside of a familiar mansion. There, as always, Baekhak Geomseon was sitting with his body upright. However, her face was different from usual. ah-. Should I say that I am a person who is slightly angry? Are you here? Not even that. Suddenly, I could feel the anger emanating from her voice. Of course, at first nce, Baekhakgeomseon seems to be friendly with a smile on her face, but I dont know why, but there was a sharp tone in her voice. Sungyun Ah! no Now that youve epted me as a priest, should I call you something different? Whoops. and. Master. It was only then that I was able to notice the cause of Baekhakgeomseon sending such a coy look. Im asking because I really cant understand it in a pure sense as a disciple of Buddhahood Its nothing else How does it feel to ept your teacher as the first disciple in your life? Receiving Baek Seol-hwa as a disciple at the end of the ordeal of earnest desire appealed to the fact that the white crane sword line in front of him was firmly swollen. yes? Master. Please answer me. . It gave off a cool tone that I had never even heard of. *** misunderstanding. It felt like a cold sweat that couldnt flow. Did people often make excuses like this, saying they were misunderstood when they recognized a mistake? I suddenly felt like this was the way it was, but I couldnt help it. because before I knew it, Baekhakgeomseon was looking at me with his arms folded and his cheeks inted like a squirrel. It only happened that I received Master as a disciple. I had no intention of doing that. And only then did Baekhak Geomseon narrow his eyes and answer. really? Didnt you think of that, Master? yes. And you dont have to use the word master. Whoa. Originally, it was a crime of destroying knights. Since you are my benefactor, Master, I cant help it. Master, this bulcho disciple made a mistake. One, and that for a while. uh? After that, I was able to realize a certain fact while looking at Baekhakgeomseons face as if I noticed. What is this again? Its nothing else Are you kidding me with this? The fact that this is making fun of me on the other side. It was because he saw the corner of her mouth quivering and barely holding back a smile. Only then did Iugh quietly as if I was dumbfounded and went out shamelessly. Then, thats how we change the teacher-teacher rtionship. ? Master. no. There is truth in what the disciple said. Well, if you want me to be your teacher, that wouldnt be too bad. yes? Unlike Baekhak Geomseon, I continued talking without any change in expression. Come to think of it, I think I can handle martial arts better now, so shouldnt it be at the level where I should teach you? Is this a teaching? yes. Still, I was treated as a teacher in my own way, so I couldnt help but teach, right? I will teach Lady Seolhwa my martial arts No, no, I was joking!! and. I had no intention of asking Seong-yoon for anything like the crime of destroying the article! Really! I dont want that Sungyoon to be my real teacher. Of course I know. ? I was joking too. Hearing this, Baekhakgeomseon blinked his eyes a few times and tilted his head, and then he lowered his face as if he was embarrassed and said, Uh did I just get tricked? To Sungyoon? Its just that Master made fun of me, so I returned the same thing. This is the sin of destroying knights! I cant really see you this time! And Baekhakgeomseon spoke so hotly, but then he was startled and continued with a voice like an ant. Huh hmm. oh no Ill let you see it this time. Well, as a teacher, you should have that level of mercy. Maybe its because I came up with the words that this side will serve as a teacher again Thats a very lucky sound. Really isnt that an interesting reaction? It seems that this is often teased over and over again. I smiled at him, nodded, and continued. Anyway, it seems you dont have any regrets. Resentment? Unlike the iron-blooded lord, Canary, it seems like she doesnt have any particr disturbances in her emotions even after the ordeal of her earnest wish is over. ah. And Baekhak Geomseon, who heard that, replied with a bitter smile. Thats right. To be honest, Im not very impressed after spending a long time clinging to a secret wish. Its just a little bit sad. she said in a subdued voice. I think it would have been nice to have a helper like Sungyoon by my side. Is that so But that doesnt mean I regret it that much. . Before he knew it, Geomseon Baekhak continued, twiddling with the gray hair that fell over his shoulder. Unlike the original, if my family hadnt disappeared, I wouldnt have been able to meet Sungyoon and make him a disciple. ? greatness! It means that the disciple named Seongyun is so important. as a master. Oh you know? What does this mean? yes. She finally cleared her throat and pursed her lips. And above all, most of the people I have to avenge are dead because of their longevity. ah. The only reason I clung to the ordeal of the secret wish was because of the way they died miserably and the delusion of what it would have been like if the Baek family had survived. You mean its gone now? Thanks to Sungyoons request. When I looked at Baekhak Geomseon, she spoke again. Actually, thats not the only reason I dont have any regrets. ? Come to think of it, Ive said it about once. It is not that the ordeal of the secret wish cannot affect reality at all. You can change the past. I remember. And to those words, I immediately answered based on the memories remaining in my head. I told you that if you can climb to thest floor of the tower, even the managers earnest wish can be turned into reality. Baek Hak Geomseon immediately nodded and agreed. Whoops. thats right. So no regrets left. If my long-cherished ordeal could be a real reality, that would be a thrilling revenge. Hearing that, I narrowed my eyes and parted my lips. However, he said that it could be done only when I reached the final floor of the tower But It doesnt matter. She answered right away as if she knew even that. Because Sungyoon is definitely someone who can climb to the top of that tower. ? I was sure. Seongyun will be able to stand at the top of this tower that no one has ever invaded. So you wont regret it. Before I knew it, Baekhakgeomseons confident eyes were shining. All I want now is for Sungyoon to reach the top. And if Sungyoon remains by my side even at the end of the tower, thats enough for me. Then Im happy too. I smiled at him. Well, anyway, if the other side doesnt have any regrets, theres no need to worry about this side either. After making a relieved expression as if I had finished my business, Baekhak Geomseon said with a subtle smile. Sungyoon, are you going to go back to the waiting room now? yes. I have a lot of work to do. fairly. Then I will be here watching over Sungyoon. All the way. Still, if you want to see this master,e anytime. All right. Then, I looked at Baekhak Geomseon, bid farewell lightly, and left. Where Bondi had to go back. It was the top. *** You have entered the waiting room on the 27th floor. In the blink of an eye, everything in your field of vision changes. Noticing that I had returned to the familiar stone chamber, I immediately opened my inventory. Even if the transcendence myth < Absolutely Unchanging > is not activated, now all the penalties received from the tower have been lifted. Because of that, most of the equipment was reusable. I summoned the equipment one by one from my inventory. For now, we can re-wear all of our equipment and check the rewards But thats for a while. Deed! ? As soon as I suddenly felt a strange vibration in the tower, I couldnt help but tilt my head. Its nothing else The number of people who have broken through the 25th floor in the Earth dimension has exceeded 1000. What is this again? Before I knew it, an unfamiliar system message appeared in front of me. Conditions satisfied. All official climbing dimensions have exceeded 1000 people who have broken through to the 25th floor. The Tower of Trials will hold a joint event with all official climbing dimensions . Appearing. At this point, I had a feeling. Caution Dimension Cradle is a mandatory optional event and is rted to the destruction or continuation of the earth. If you lose in thepetition that takes ce inside the Dimension Cradle, the Earth-level protective barrier may disappear. What. Dimension Cradle. I didnt know all about it, but I definitely noticed one thing. the fact that this is an event in the tower that could bring about the destruction of the earth. Chapter 374 374. Difference in strength (5) Most small animals often freeze in fright in front of a beast. It has no choice but to be overwhelmed by the predator in front of it. This was no different. That would be the case too . Before I knew it, the expression of the masters standing over there was a fear that could not be hidden. I guess he realized that hes not in a position to say that hell look after him. Of course, the time of silence itself is not very long. Maybe ten seconds at most? But that was enough for them. At best, to realize that they are nothing more than prey in front of a beast. Tadadak-! Still, I wonder if I have noticed because I followed the rules of the jungle. The enemies standing in front of me moved at high speed, leaving afterimages like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it reached a speed close to subsonic, and the masters rushed this side as if they were doing their best. There was not even a shout that is often heard in battle. Its just that their face is full of terrified killing intentions based on an instinctive desire to survive. but for a while. Kagagak-! Inherent skill Down is strongly activated. Even if it is an attack that cannot be shed, it bes possible to shed it. This is more useful than I thought. The moment I shed countless herbivores at once without a change in expression. Astonishment appeared on the faces of the masters who drew different trajectories as if they were attacking an invisible blind spot. As if nothing like this could ever happen, mixed with negative emotions. But, unlike them, I didnt feel anything particrly exciting. This side is more disappointing than I thought. It was far below expectations. Even though it was not at the level of the top-notch powerhouse like Cheonhaojeol, they expected their own propaganda. At least I thought that if I saw this side and went quietly, I would pretend I didnt see it this time. If so, what is this? I clicked my tongue at that. What the hell is this? It was worth it. At least, the speed itself in close proximity can be said to be excellent, but even taking that into ount, the uracy of the technology and the level of understanding of the technology itself are pitiful. Theres nothing worth looking at other than the amount of horsepower Not even that. Even from the point of view of pure martial arts, even if it was gruesome, the utilization of basic physical abilities was less. Most of the people who rushed to this side put excessive tension on their bodies, so their bodies, swords, and strength were not properly loaded. It was a poor result for a high-speed attack. Should I say its like watching a wooden doll clumsily mimic human actions with its entire body creaking? If I had to count each mistake, there would be no end to it. Its pitiful. Then there was no need to waste time. The skill Fresh Seeker is strongly activated.] After all, there is no need to win overwhelmingly with martial arts against enemies anymore. Kaga gagak-! next moment. Kuk-! Kreukreukreuk! Kuh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The bloody mist that flowed from his entire body changed like arge thorn and pierced the body of his enemies. Kkwajiik-. Challenger Han Seong-yoon gained 0.11% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against multiple masters. Absorbed themand of Taesan Kwonseong Hwang Bo-woo-jung. Absorbed themand of Haenam One Sword Seo Jun-baek Absorbed the spirit of Mosan Hyunseon, Baek Ok-hyeon . And that was it. After being pierced by the thorns of fresh blood, the blood was drained and absorbed, leaving only skinny corpses. I then recovered even the blood that had flowed out of my body and turned my head to look at the old man in front of me. Exactly Ah ah ah? He was Jin Heo Jin. Could it be that he didnt know that everyone would die like this for a mere moment? Before he knew it, Jin Heo Jinin ttered his jaws and repeatedly made grotesque noises like a broken doll. No this I am Jin Heo Jin-in continued to break out in a considerable amount of cold sweat, and then his tone became more and more earnest. It wasnt just pure psychological pressure. Since the mythic < Incarnation of the End > has been activated, even the life force over there is being taken away in real time, so I know that I am doing that. In fact, it was. Please save me!! ? I beg of you! Ill give you everything you ask for This elder is the acting chief of the blind, so I can grant all your requests! There is no lie in this one! It was absurd. There are no lies? Thats right!! I can swear even with the life of this elder No way. ? I replied with a smile on my lips. Did you lie? What is that They said there was no sin. and then. Are you saying that the real elder is guilty because he is weaker than you? okay. There are more than that but for now, thats it. Hearing those words, Jin Heo Jinin responded with a ripple in his eyes, stuttering. Even so, Elder Bon is one of the elders of the non-partisan faction. So, if Elder Bon dies, the non-partisan will step out. Dont do that It takes Why do most of the Murim people, such as Cheon Kang-un and Jin Heo-jin, talk about the strength of the group when they realize that they are the weak ones? Theres no way I could do anything like that. At least, Cheon Kang-wun realized that he had no way to survive and even ran away, but the other side just trembled and begged for help. Even if you dont, this elder can give you anything you want! money power honor! everything! Not only that, but I can also give you treasures like being a recruit!! but for a while. Thats not up to you to decide. ah? Because thats the reward I deserve. I said that as if to stop talking nonsense that didnt even make sense to him. Youre a Murim person who always talks about dueling trials, dont you know that? He would too That means there was nothing you could offer me from the start. Hey hey-! Son of a bitch! I dared to y with the elder Bone!! Kkwajijijijikjik-! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against Gosu brought him 0.08% closer to [Transcendence]. Absorbed the spirit of the shaman sage Jinheoja. . Isnt that thew of Moorim? *** It was right after he got rid of the Murimmaeng in an instant. Myth < Incarnation of the End > is deactivated. Just like that, I stopped using the Myth < Incarnation of the End > and looked at the barrennd of Murimmaeng. Seeing that I couldnt feel any signs of life nearby, it seemed like everyone died from dot damage Anyway, it was as if there was less work to do, so I quickly gathered the spirits scattered all over the ce at once. Only then will he be able to grow, albeit in a small way, by obtaining rewards through necromancy. and then. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits Muscle strength increased by 115 Agility increased by 113 HP increased by 122 Magic power increased by 134 Durability increased by 113 119 has risen. The next moment. The skill Blue Dragon Qigong (B+) will be created. The skill Sungcheon de (C-) will be created The skill Presence Control (D) will be created Thats great. Looking at the system messages appearing in front of my eyes, I was satisfied that I had earned a salty side ie. Skill absorption judgments, which are not normally triggered, burst continuously and acquired quite a few skills. In fact, as long as there was the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, the skill I possessed was an independent power from the tower, so the more I had, the worse it was. Inherent Authority Skill Synthesis is activated. Not only that. Browse the list of skills. Choose a synthesis material from among the existing skills. Synthesis of skills. The authority Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Luck temporarily and violently increases. Based on the unique powers obtained while climbing the tower, you can create new abilities by rbining skills as much as you like. The Divine < Luck > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used. The Divine < Luck > adds luck to some situations and tunes them in a beneficial direction. Greatly increased. Immediately Skill synthesis has beenpleted. New skills are created. Just like now. Skill C Best breathing (S-) Proficiency level C 0% Basic effect C The user can breathe at its best in any state. You can recover 1%.] Breathing at its best. In other words, this sides magic power would no longer be exhausted. Recovering 1% of your total magic power every 4 seconds just by breathing? In fact, I limited myself to skills that use magic power, and the need to feel burdened by the cost of consuming half of the magic power has disappeared. no. want more than that There must be synergy between skills. At least one group battle was enough to get this amount ofpensation. If so, what can be achieved next? Imagining about him has its own fun. Its fun. and. Its a perfect conquest of Murim Only then did I wipe off the blood on my sword and look up at the sky, my eyes twinkling. A time when there is no sign of sunset. There was still a lot of time this side could spend. Then it was clear what to do. Theres just too much time left. Guess Its worth a try. During this day, it will be a repetitive task that will allow you to obtain numerous rewards ording to your taste. It might be annoying. It is also of very high efficiency. *** Time passed quickly. Was it thanks to theplete destruction of the Moorim Meng, which I felt was like a thorn in my eye? Since there was nothing to shy away from now, I quickly eliminated the remaining old-school and five-generation rooms one by one. Achievement Extinction of the n was achieved. Achievement Eliminate Divine Sword was achieved] Achievement Eradication of the Sapas was achieved] . It wasnt that difficult. If its just a game, should I say its the feeling of repeating hunting in a hunting ground where you can level up well? Knowing that this was a very efficient growth route, they were removing visible ces such as the Murim Moonpan and the Murim Sega, but there was no particr inspiration. Because its so easy. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Hee! A monster A monster A monster appeared! Haaaaagh-! Ask for support from the Doo Alliance Munpa! Come on! We have to stop that monster no matter what! Of course, while this one was a boring and repetitive hunting game, the other one seemed like a defense game with an insane level of difficulty but [The skill Steel Feed is activated.] Even that didntst long. Completely absorbed. Muscle strength increases by 15. Stamina increases by 16. Agility increases by 21. Durability increases by 17. Magic power increases by 18. It is a treasure, and I got it all and swallowed it lightly like my multivitamin(?). Either that, or by enticing the enemys spirits with necromancy, he also obtained skills and all stats-up rewards. And how many times did you do that? Even Moorim, which had shown miracles like an inexhaustible fountain, was nowing to an end. Achievement Conquest of Murim has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 100 I do. That means one thing. Special Contract Ordeal < Last Wish: White Crane Swordsman (Q) > has been cleared. It has been confirmed that they are receiving more than trustworthy appraisal from Mr. ). The rewards for clearing the special contract ordeal are set at the highest level, and additional rewards are paid. For the next few days, the settlement time will continue within the stage. Yeah Its nothing else Now its time to go back to the tower. Finally, the long-cherished ordeal wasing to an end. Chapter 375 375. Dimension Cradle (1) Seeing the system message in front of me, I smiled bitterly. Achievement Conquest of Murim has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 100 I will. He must be . Its because he noticed that the ordeal of his earnest wish was about toe to an end. okay. Now its really over I felt regret linger in my mouth. Originally, when I climbed the tower, Murim didnt feel very wee, but it wasnt like that anymore. Should I say it feels like finding an oasis at the end of a bloody desert? After adjusting to the physiology here, living in Moorim itself felt quite attractive. Does this feel like cutting open the belly of the goose thatys the golden eggs? But it didntst long. As is often said, there are no infinite resources in the world . In fact, the sight in front of his eyes could be said to be proof of that. I cant believe theres nothing more to be gained from this honey pot And with only traces of burnt-down buildings. This ce could no longer be regarded as an environment in which creatures could live. Its just that this side has been unknowingly polluting the ground just by letting the divine starlight dwelling with the divine < Death >. Its very unfortunate. And it wasnt just here. It would be no different from the numerous other Murim forces that this side broke during the day. It was all the more so because all the visiblerge-scale Murim forces, whether Jeongpai or Sapain, werepletely eliminated. That means one thing. Its nothing else You have cleared the Special Contract Ordeal < The Last Wish : White Crane Swordsman >. It has been confirmed that the White Crane Swordsman (Q) of the contract ordeal has more than trusted appraisal. The clear reward for the special contract ordeal is set at the highest level, and additional rewards are paid. But Mr. Baek Settlement time will continue within the stage for several days until Segas reputation is known to Murim . At this point, there is nothing more to look at, but this means that the revival of the Baek family has been confirmed. It was worth it. In this world, Murim is a confederation, or a ce like a munpa or sega, and it rolls around. If thats the case, havent I destroyed all the ces that started with the Murim League, the Old Families, and the Five Greats. If so, the ce that survived was the structure that won. This is the victory of the Baek family who survived. It is because the reconstruction of a family referred to in Moorim is not an absolute evaluation, but a rtive evaluation. Of course, the immediate clearing of the ordeal did not appear because the revival of the Baek family was not properly known yet but it did not matter. Anyway, I also nned to spend some time at the Baek family and teach Baek Seol-hwas martial arts a little more. This also had its own charm. Actually, I want to look at the arrangement of the lightsaber festival somewhere in Moorim while I have time left If I had to argue, the fact that there was nothing I could do even if I tried to work more in this field also helped in that choice. Its impossible because I cant use the inventory. lightsaber. It is one of the divine powers given to this side in the past by injecting divine < Harmony > into the Ind Skill (S+). Well, the lightsaber system was greatly suppressed for being a god after being chosen by the tower, but I was curious about what was in the treasure house that the god had gathered. But even that is not yet the time. It cant be helped. Originally, it would have been possible to find the arrangement of the lightsaber system in Murim based on the tracking ability inherent in the S+, but the items obtained from the tower are I wont be able to write anything. In fact, since I couldnt use the inventory itself, I couldnt even explore the arrangement of the lightsaber system. Even if you use the inventory by activating the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >, the tower will immediately stop the ordeal of your earnest desire ordingly, so it is meaningless. I have nothing more to do. It is only to be faithful to the role yed by this side until the ordeal of the earnest wish ispletely over, and the perfect revival of the Baek family should be the only thing. At that, I turned my head and looked at the ruinednd with a smile on my lips. It was expected. Isnt even the Murim of the past reproduced by the Tower so interesting? Then, what about Moorim in the outside world? It wont be long before you find out about him. It wouldnt be bad to listen to it just once to kill time. Its just Ah,e to think of it, there must be more to be gained from Moorim outside than just the arrangement of the lightsaber festival, right? It felt very unfortunate that it would be my first andst visit to Moorim. just the thought of going to Murim over there makes my mouth water. or not. *** Time flies no matter what. Even if this side gets bored with wasting time withoutpensation, that fact doesnt change. Having wiped out countless ns in one day, I went back to the Baek family and took care of the things needed to rebuild the family. Achievement Family Reconstruction has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 4. I do. Its not difficult. It wasnt too difficult. After all, the only thing this side could do was use their strength. Even thanks to the direct destruction of numerous Murim factions, now the Baek family hadplete trust in my armed forces. Because of that, the work of promoting the fame of the Baek family to the whole Moorim progressed smoothly and without any obstructions, unlike before. And in the rest of his free time, he devoted himself to educating Baek Seol-hwa in her swordsmanship. Its very delicate too. You shouldnt see your opponents movements as they are. You have to observe the other person as much as possible and consider the contraction of all muscles, the depth of breathing, the wriggling of energy, etc. before moving. ? How the hell do you know that? You can feel it just by pretending. Perhaps, over time, you will be able to detect even the smallest vibrations in the air. Still, it had its own fun. Its just climbing the tower and teaching her half-self-learnedbat skills In fact, for Snow White, her skills have grown steeply, as if even this acted as a great realization. Is this a genius? In response, I watched Snow White wielding a sword while sweating profusely in one of the gymnasiums and admired it. Its amazing. It was worth it. At some point, Baek Seol-hwa had a perfect understanding of the new sword union, and even that was not enough, and she was entering the stage of changing the nature of sword skills. As if now I know how the techniques I use work. Come to think of it, the other day he said that he could follow this sides training if he had enough mana in his body It doesnt look like he was wrong. Its enough to say that the ws arepletely gone. In fact, she showed a natural prominence. A level of near-perfect proficiency in changing the nature of sword mes in just two days. Well, I still havent reached the level of swordsmanship, but I had noints because I definitely had a taste for teaching. Honestly, Snow White also said that she became the first person in the world, so its natural for her to do this. So I stuck to Baek Seol-hwa and poured out my passion in teaching martial arts. How many days have passed like that? A day, two days, three days, four days. Many peaceful days continued due to the elimination of the Moorim forces of different tendencies, who were fighting against each other. and. Master. what day it was It was the afternoon when Snow Whites training was over and the evening sunset colored the gymnasium. Originally, since training, one of the daily routines, was over, both of them should have chatted and dispersed at this point. Suddenly, Snow White flirted with her and smiled on her face, and then she approached as if she had something to show her. I have something to show the master. ? Hmmmm! Oh, dont be too surprised to see this! No matter how much I think about it, it seems like I have talentparable to Master! She didnt even give me a chance to answer, then she raised the wooden sword in her hand and said. Whoop whoop. If I show you this, Master-nim will be surprised too, right? and. Thats right, this is a skill that even Master didnt teach me. The moment she said that and injected energy into the wooden sword. Only then did I realize why Snow White spoke so triumphantly. That would be the case, because the wooden sword in her hand began to glow with pure white light, and then it shone as if it were a single starlight. I knew what it was. Geomgi Seonggang () In fact, isnt that a skill that can only be manifested when ones mana maniption skills as a swordsman reach the limit? I couldnt help but be surprised because all I had taught her so far wasbat techniques or changes in the nature of sword me. It was because this side had never taught Baek Seol-hwa the various knowledge to be able to use the sword so skillfully. but for a while. support position-. Before I knew it, the strong qi formed on Snow Whites wooden sword swayed, and then it disappeared. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu It seems that it hasnt been long since she has reached the level of swordsmanship. How was it? To be honest, it was like this. It was great. It was amazing. You didnt tell me anything in particr from this side, but youre awakening your own swordsmanship? In fact, it was only in the fierce battle between life and death that I finally realized the sword steel, so I couldnt help but be surprised. Whoops! Yes? This is the stage I reached based on the skills Master showed me! Im sure I have the talent to match Masters, right? In response to her persistent question, I smiled and nodded my head. yes. You definitely have talent. It was huge. At that, Snow White smiled widely and said with a shy expression. Then there is no need to hesitate. As if he had made up his mind to do what he had to do. Master. and. I want to be an official disciple of Master Han Seong-yoon. yes? I mean it! Master Han Seong-yoon is the best person in the world, right? And even in the eyes of the master, the best person in the world, my talent is outstanding! The next moment. So Before I knew it, I could see the desire for strength reflected in her eyes. Please be my teacher. I am. Please help me be a martial artist like you. However, it wasnt just the desire for strength that was reflected in her eyes. I want to be a soldier who can stand side by side with Master. It was a kind of longing-like feeling. Somehow, I think I had a longing for the overwhelming power I showed . It was just like that. The snow white flowers in front of me were fakes reproduced by the tower. Even if it is infinitely the same as the main body, it will disappear before long. With that in mind, it didnt matter much whether he listened to her or not. However, for some reason, I didnt really want to give up the expectations of Snow White in front of me. Because they are priests At least, that was the case for now. Thats not bad either. Feeling a strange sense of dj vu, I smiled and nodded while saying that. It was a sign of his intention to ept her as a disciple. For a moment, Snow Whites face was filled with joy, but her words were not connected. That should be the case too Complete calction ofpensation. Reward will be paid ording to the emotional state of White Crane Swordsman. As a reward for breaking through the special contract ordeal, Deep Divinitys Call (EX) It will be sent to this inventory. As an additional breakthrough reward for the special contract ordeal, the Bracelet of Sacred Absorption (SSS-) will be sent to your inventory. Now that the ordeal of her longing, which was her wish, is over. Chapter 376 376. Dimension Cradle (2) In an instant, the sight in my field of vision changedpletely. Complete calction ofpensation. Reward is given ording to the emotional state of White Crane Swordsman. As a reward for breaking through the special contract ordeal, Deep Divinitys Call (EX) will be sent to your inventory. As an additional breakthrough reward for the special contract ordeal, the Bracelet of Divine Absorption (SSS-) will be sent to your inventory. The world is dyed in darkness. As if this ce didnt even deserve to exist any longer. The moment the world created by the tower disappeared like a mirage. It was only then that I was able to ept that the ordeal of my earnest wish from Baekhak Geomseon hade to a perfect end. If I had to ask, I should have been happy with this. Originally, the fact that it was a secret request given by the manager is a very difficult ordeal that ordinary challengers cannot even dare to dare to do. Clearing this itself is an indicator of how far I havee. When I was a challenger climbing the 10th floor of the tower at most, I was even warned not to challenge like a moth because I was blinded by the reward that woulde at the end of the ordeal. But now it wasnt. It wasnt that difficult. no. Should I say the opposite again? Now, the top side checks that this side will clear the ordeal of the longing so easily, and its to the point of putting up a lot of penalties. It was actually easy to clear. obviously. However, in a way, it was natural. Even if the tower adds numerous penalties, isnt this an ancient deity? It was at least as simple as cultivating the best martial arts power in the fake world reproduced by the tower. Considering that he had struggled even with ordinary challengers from the other world who had no divinity, it could be said that it was a tremendous improvement. Originally, it was thought that it would be extremely proud after oveing all the trials of this longing, which I thought would struggle since the days when I was just a challenger to the tower. Because a lot has changed from the past. But But Its pointless. Not really. Of course, there was nock of joy that could be said to be a sense of growth. Its just that its aplicated feeling because of the bitter taste in my mouth rather than the pure joy that it has reached this ce. Is it a wish that leaves nothing It was just like that. Anyway, the wish Baekhakgeomseon wished for during his lifetime could note true. Even if they were to fulfill their long-cherished ordeal within the stage built at the discretion of the Tower, there would be nothing left except for the reward they received. Last time it was like this. It was the same as when he received and cleared the trial of his earnest wish from the iron blooded lord. The world facing her destruction cannot be returned by breaking the ordeal of the towers earnest wish. The only thing an iron-blooded lord can do is cling to his delusion while seeing a wish that cante true. And it was no different in the Baekhak inspection. In the original history, the Baek family must have perished. Originally, her family would have perished and disappeared without leaving any traces anywhere. Perhaps she was the only one who got out of the Baek family family, which was about to end, and wandered around, eventually entering the tower. Even that didnt seem particrly hopeful. Anyway, if Baekhak Geomseon had been able to revive the Baek family, this would not have remained her long-cherished wish. He felt the bitter taste in his mouth grow stronger. Maybe its because Ive gotten used to it? but for a while. Still, its less messy thanst time. Before I knew it, I shook my head and brushed off the remaining thoughts. Well, its not like you cane up with a better answer if you think about it further. Of course, in the end, when I think of how Snow White said she wanted to treat me as a teacher, the bitterness deepens . Rather than things I cant really touch, I should start with things I can do myself. So I have entered the forest. Now its time to return to where I should be. Then, when I closed my eyes and opened them, I saw the inside of a familiar mansion. There, as always, Baekhak Geomseon was sitting with his body upright. However, her face was different from usual. ah-. Should I say that I am a person who is slightly angry? Are you here? Not even that. Suddenly, I could feel the anger emanating from her voice. Of course, at first nce, Baekhakgeomseon seems to be friendly with a smile on her face, but I dont know why, but there was a sharp tone in her voice. Sungyun Ah! no Now that youve epted me as a priest, should I call you something different? Whoops. and. Master. It was only then that I was able to notice the cause of Baekhakgeomseon sending such a coy look. Im asking because I really cant understand it in a pure sense as a disciple of Buddhahood Its nothing else How does it feel to ept your teacher as the first disciple in your life? Receiving Baek Seol-hwa as a disciple at the end of the ordeal of earnest desire appealed to the fact that the white crane sword line in front of him was firmly swollen. yes? Master. Please answer me. . It gave off a cool tone that I had never even heard of. *** misunderstanding. It felt like a cold sweat that couldnt flow. Did people often make excuses like this, saying they were misunderstood when they recognized a mistake? I suddenly felt like this was the way it was, but I couldnt help it. because before I knew it, Baekhakgeomseon was looking at me with his arms folded and his cheeks inted like a squirrel. It only happened that I received Master as a disciple. I had no intention of doing that. And only then did Baekhak Geomseon narrow his eyes and answer. really? Didnt you think of that, Master? yes. And you dont have to use the word master. Whoa. Originally, it was a crime of destroying knights. Since you are my benefactor, Master, I cant help it. Master, this bulcho disciple made a mistake. One, and that for a while. uh? After that, I was able to realize a certain fact while looking at Baekhakgeomseons face as if I noticed. What is this again? Its nothing else Are you kidding me with this? The fact that this is making fun of me on the other side. It was because he saw the corner of her mouth quivering and barely holding back a smile. Only then did Iugh quietly as if I was dumbfounded and went out shamelessly. Then, thats how we change the teacher-teacher rtionship. ? Master. no. There is truth in what the disciple said. Well, if you want me to be your teacher, that wouldnt be too bad. yes? Unlike Baekhak Geomseon, I continued talking without any change in expression. Come to think of it, I think I can handle martial arts better now, so shouldnt it be at the level where I should teach you? Is this a teaching? yes. Still, I was treated as a teacher in my own way, so I couldnt help but teach, right? I will teach Lady Seolhwa my martial arts No, no, I was joking!! and. I had no intention of asking Seong-yoon for anything like the crime of destroying the article! Really! I dont want that Sungyoon to be my real teacher. Of course I know. ? I was joking too. Hearing this, Baekhakgeomseon blinked his eyes a few times and tilted his head, and then he lowered his face as if he was embarrassed and said, Uh did I just get tricked? To Sungyoon? Its just that Master made fun of me, so I returned the same thing. This is the sin of destroying knights! I cant really see you this time! And Baekhakgeomseon spoke so hotly, but then he was startled and continued with a voice like an ant. Huh hmm. oh no Ill let you see it this time. Well, as a teacher, you should have that level of mercy. Maybe its because I came up with the words that this side will serve as a teacher again Thats a very lucky sound. Really isnt that an interesting reaction? It seems that this is often teased over and over again. I smiled at him, nodded, and continued. Anyway, it seems you dont have any regrets. Resentment? Unlike the iron-blooded lord, Canary, it seems like she doesnt have any particr disturbances in her emotions even after the ordeal of her earnest wish is over. ah. And Baekhak Geomseon, who heard that, replied with a bitter smile. Thats right. To be honest, Im not very impressed after spending a long time clinging to a secret wish. Its just a little bit sad. she said in a subdued voice. I think it would have been nice to have a helper like Sungyoon by my side. Is that so But that doesnt mean I regret it that much. . Before he knew it, Geomseon Baekhak continued, twiddling with the gray hair that fell over his shoulder. Unlike the original, if my family hadnt disappeared, I wouldnt have been able to meet Sungyoon and make him a disciple. ? greatness! It means that the disciple named Seongyun is so important. as a master. Oh you know? What does this mean? yes. She finally cleared her throat and pursed her lips. And above all, most of the people I have to avenge are dead because of their longevity. ah. The only reason I clung to the ordeal of the secret wish was because of the way they died miserably and the delusion of what it would have been like if the Baek family had survived. You mean its gone now? Thanks to Sungyoons request. When I looked at Baekhak Geomseon, she spoke again. Actually, thats not the only reason I dont have any regrets. ? Come to think of it, Ive said it about once. It is not that the ordeal of the secret wish cannot affect reality at all. You can change the past. I remember. And to those words, I immediately answered based on the memories remaining in my head. I told you that if you can climb to thest floor of the tower, even the managers earnest wish can be turned into reality. Baek Hak Geomseon immediately nodded and agreed. Whoops. thats right. So no regrets left. If my long-cherished ordeal could be a real reality, that would be a thrilling revenge. Hearing that, I narrowed my eyes and parted my lips. However, he said that it could be done only when I reached the final floor of the tower But It doesnt matter. She answered right away as if she knew even that. Because Sungyoon is definitely someone who can climb to the top of that tower. ? I was sure. Seongyun will be able to stand at the top of this tower that no one has ever invaded. So you wont regret it. Before I knew it, Baekhakgeomseons confident eyes were shining. All I want now is for Sungyoon to reach the top. And if Sungyoon remains by my side even at the end of the tower, thats enough for me. Then Im happy too. I smiled at him. Well, anyway, if the other side doesnt have any regrets, theres no need to worry about this side either. After making a relieved expression as if I had finished my business, Baekhak Geomseon said with a subtle smile. Sungyoon, are you going to go back to the waiting room now? yes. I have a lot of work to do. fairly. Then I will be here watching over Sungyoon. All the way. Still, if you want to see this master,e anytime. All right. Then, I looked at Baekhak Geomseon, bid farewell lightly, and left. Where Bondi had to go back. It was the top. *** You have entered the waiting room on the 27th floor. In the blink of an eye, everything in your field of vision changes. Noticing that I had returned to the familiar stone chamber, I immediately opened my inventory. Even if the transcendence myth < Absolutely Unchanging > is not activated, now all the penalties received from the tower have been lifted. Because of that, most of the equipment was reusable. I summoned the equipment one by one from my inventory. For now, we can re-wear all of our equipment and check the rewards But thats for a while. Deed! ? As soon as I suddenly felt a strange vibration in the tower, I couldnt help but tilt my head. Its nothing else The number of people who have broken through the 25th floor in the Earth dimension has exceeded 1000. What is this again? Before I knew it, an unfamiliar system message appeared in front of me. Conditions satisfied. All official climbing dimensions have exceeded 1000 people who have broken through to the 25th floor. The Tower of Trials will hold a joint event with all official climbing dimensions . Appearing. At this point, I had a feeling. Caution Dimension Cradle is a mandatory optional event and is rted to the destruction or continuation of the earth. If you lose in thepetition that takes ce inside the Dimension Cradle, the Earth-level protective barrier may disappear. What. Dimension Cradle. I didnt know all about it, but I definitely noticed one thing. the fact that this is an event in the tower that could bring about the destruction of the earth. Chapter 377 377. Dimension Cradle (3) I read the system messages that appeared in front of me again, and I was lost in thought. What the hell is this? Dimension Cradle. Maybe its one of the towers special events I still havent been able to figure out what exactly this event is. To think that an event like the Earths survival or destruction would suddenly happen. Of course, nothing can be known at all. The experience gained by this side as a challenger while climbing the tower is now second to none. Well, since there was already a case called the Giant Tree Labyrinth, one of the events hosted by the TOP, I guessed to some extent. C Satisfaction of conditions. DAll official climbing levels have exceeded 1,000 people who have broken through the 25th floor. DThe Tower of Trials is holding a joint event for all formal climbing dimensions. DThe Dimension Cradle will appear in all formal climbing dimensions. Not even that. The content written in the system message was enough to infer the contents. It is certain that this is amon event that not only this side, but also the various dimensions registered in the tower experience the same. Maybe its because the challengers who chose the hard difficulty climbed the tower a lot. The Tower tends to base its work on Hard difficulty challengers, no matter what. It was no different this time either. Originally, the Tower of Trials tries to remove impurities as much as possible throughpetition between challengers, just as any gemstone is processed. Then, is there a fixed answer? .-caution DThe Dimensional Cradle is a mandatory optional event and is rted to the destruction or continuation of the Earth. DIf you lose in thepetition that takes ce inside the Dimensional Cradle, the Earth-dimensional protective barrier may disappear. Come to think of it, I thought it was apetition between different dimensions Should I call it a sort of weeding out? It must be the intention of the top side to select the candidate with the highest growth peak among numerous contenders. Its just that the scale is huge enough to lead topetition between each dimension. But I wasnt really worried about that. Really no. Its fun. On the contrary, I smiled shyly. At best, to develop a confrontation between mere mortals into a dimensionalpetition And it was not enough, and Iughed out loud when I saw that they even said that the existence of the earth depended on it. In fact, unless you be an ancient deity, you cannot pose any threat to the earth. Even if it is not the protection of the divinity that surrounds the earth, there is no threat because I am acting as a challenger of the earth. But thats just the Earths point of view. Unlike here, there are many different things over there. That, too, is not very good. Not different Even if there is almost no chance of damage on this side, Ill be able to steadily inflict damage on the other side. This is because only one-sided deal exchanges are established on this side. Unlike Earth, which is protected by the Ancient Gods, they will not have the Ancient Gods behind them. To put it simply, you can unterally gain something from challengers from other dimensions. At least in other dimensions that dont receive the protection of the ancient deity, there must be a lot to be gained. Isnt the original ancient deity itself a cosmic existence? Even if its a formal climbing level registered in the tower, there wont be many ancient deities who can protect it. Only then did I smack my lips with a smile full of anticipation. Well, even if it wasnt at the level of the Moorim sects, who were openly phnthropic (?), it seemed like they would gain a lot. Its something Im really looking forward to. and. I want to go soon. As it was, I continued to take out the items in my inventory. Following the twin swords that had be attached to his hands before he knew it, he wore the old tailcoat of the Vampire Count, the soft iron pendant, and even the wind spirits boots. Was it because I felt ufortable because I couldnt wear it because of the penalty the top had put on me? Somehow, while feeling strangely satisfied with the new equipment, the blood demon sword in my hand trembled and I heard a familiar voice. DWhoa as soon as. DFinally, that bastards time of patience is over The voice of Dam Chun-wu, who could be called our partner, resonated. I dont think weve been apart long enough to even call it a period of patience Did you still hear yourself? what. Before I knew it, I recognized that I had heard Dam Chun-wus voice, and replied with a smile. Still, its nice to see you after a long time. but for a while. As it is, I released my hand from the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and took out other items in my inventory. Well, apart from the familiarity that this side feels, its not like I have any intention of solving the problem. Bondi Checking the reward you get every time you climb the tower is the same habit as the basics of the basics. Even this time, the rewards obtained from the ordeal of the earnest were all enormous, so it was all the more so. Deep Divinitys Call Rating: EX A product of divinity created by one of the gods voluntarily offering himself. When injecting divine power, the exclusive effect Forced Awakening can be activated. When the exclusive effect Forced Awakening is activated, all potential abilities of any Holy Relic are forcibly bloomed. However, after applying the exclusive effect Forced Awakening to one of the relics, the item itself will disappear. and. This. The moment he checked the statue that looked like a pair of red wings in miniature. Isnt it great? I had to exim with a twinkle in my eyes. Even if its a holy relic, its possible to forcibly bloom all of itstent abilities It was so obvious what that meant in terms of godhood. Indeed, even if it was an ancient deity, it was a performance that had no choice but to be greedy. It was worth it. The effect of the Deep Call of Divinity (EX) in front of her was indeed of great value. Even if it was a holy relic derived from an ancient deity, wouldnt it be possible to bring out its full performance? Only the effect of being able to fully awaken the original performance of the relic to the highest level was likely to be judged as the highest grade item. DTo get the highest level of reward just by granting the managers wish Damcheonwu, who saw this, grunted as if he was dumbfounded. DEven when I climbed the tower, I must have never seen the highest grade reward. Thats probably because you werent active enough to receive the highest level of reward. -? Its a joke. But even that is only for a moment. As it was, I pretended to be nothing, ignoring the protest from the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. As I was ignoring all of the riots that were punctuated by Dam Chun-wus excuses, a thought suddenly popped into my mind. ah. Not different Come to think of it, there was a ce I could use this for. Because there was one ce to use this highest grade item in front of me. Mirror of Faith Rating: SSS- Completion of Holy Relic: 11% A special mirror created by the God of Proof in the hope that a certain challenger will grow in faith. When the conviction ispleted by deeply responding to the emotions of challenger Han Seong-yoon, the mirror of conviction also besplete as a holy relic. mirror of faith. The holy relic I received from the god of proof has a growth method that blooms its performance ording to me. But Even though this side has be an ancient deity, the perfection of this relic is still at the 11% level, so there was no corner to use it properly. Because the holy relic has no original item effect. Awakening the performance of the holy relic Unlike the high grade of SSS-ss that the tower gave to the mirror of faith, it was nothing more than a nuisance. Its worth a try. If thats the case, isnt there a ce to use Deep Divine Call (EX)? Kwazijik-. The exclusive effect of Deep Divine Call (EX) is activated. Due to the exclusive effect of Deep Divine Call (EX), the potential power of the Holy Relic is forcibly bloomed. Due to the exclusive effect of Deep Divine Call (EX), Mirror of Faith (SSS-) changes into a new form. The moment I injected divinity into him with a deep divine call. Hwaaak-! In the twinkling of an eye, the call of deep divinity was crushed, and the mirror of faith changed its appearance anew, emitting light. ck Mirror of Innocence Rating: SSS+ A symbol of gigantic evilpleted in response to the pure malice of an ancient deity. The exclusive effect Innocence of Despair can be activated. When the exclusive effect Innocent Despair is activated, select an opponent and forcibly seal the divine power for 10 minutes. However, the user who activated the exclusive effect Pure Despair will also be forcibly sealed for 10 minutes. After activating the exclusive effect of a holy relic, a one-year cooldown urs. All of a sudden, the mirror of belief became a small mirror emitting a deep ck light. A holy relic that allows us to fight while keeping each others divinities sealed Perhaps this is the result of forcibly blooming the Mirror of Faith Its hot. This is better than expected. Well, at least the effect inherent in the relic didnt feel so bad. At the very least, if I use it against a strong enemy that I cant handle among the ancient gods, Ill be able to pass the time with my pure physical abilities. Its going to be one of the tricks I can use against a formidable enemy who cant guarantee victory. was willing Even if its not, Im in a situation where I have to assume a battle with an ancient deity. In fact, this side has raised numerous stats based on necromancy, so that only one physical ability is at the top among the ancient gods. Perhaps if I sealed all divinities and fought, I would be able to gain the upper hand. If you can use your unique skill, Sword Realm, to put pressure on your opponent, you can predict the possibility of victory even in the battle with the ancient deity in a high ce. Its something to be proud of if the chances of winning a battle against an ancient deity increase. At that, I put a light smile on my lips and then confirmed the rest of the rewards. Bracelet of Divine Absorption Rating: SSS- Holy Damage Reduction +11% A bracelet that absorbs and stores the divinity found in a temple of unknown origin among ancient ruins. It is possible to absorb any divinity and keep it inside for a long time. However, it can be destroyed if exposed to external divinities several times for defensive purposes. and. A bracelet that can hold divinity I smiled at him. I know where to use this, too. Originally, I was also looking for a way to achieve ovepping activation of the divine < fighting spirit >. Because of the Shining Traces of Concept (SSS+) obtained by clearing the Battlefield of the Gods, the ovepping activation of Divine < Fighting Spirit > was half-determined. And if this is the case, even more so. Just like when he fought on the battlefield of the gods, he could strengthen all abilities 10,000 times with the divine < fighting spirit >. With this, the confirmation of the reward is over. and. A new message has arrived from my friend Baekryeonhwa. After checking all the rewards obtained from the ordeal of the longing, a system message came flying. There are currently 4 unread messages in the chat history of your friend Baekryeonhwa. Not different -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): Mr. Seongyun. -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): I think you should return to Earth as soon as possible. -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): For some reason, while the tower was hosting an event, it became a situation where challengers from the other world coulde and go. Its the worst. The time to participate in the event nned by TOP has arrived. -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): Pacheonhwang, who is regarded as one of the strongest challengers in Moorim, has sent his subordinates to Earth. even. -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): they said that they would make the earth disappear first if they did not quickly submit to and merge with the group of the emperor. very quickly too. Chapter 378 378. Dimension Cradle (4) Wave Emperor. I know who it is because I sometimes watch the towermunity. One of the rankers from Moorim who is always ranked at the top of the numerous challengers who climb the tower. I frowned at him, recalling a dormant memory in my brain and tilting my head. Sometimes Ive seen the nickname Pacheonhwang in the settlement rankings Its nothing different Why did thate out here? Because it is normal that the worlds registered in the Bondi Tower cannot interfere with each other. I dont know what it is Of course. As a matter of fact, once a fight broke out in Japan, challengers belonging to other dimensions could no longere over. If thats the case, why are you sending an envoy this far and tantly threatening? Why can a challenger belonging to Moorime over to Earth? Only then did I realize that the situation was unusual, and I quickly replied to Lee Ha-yeons message. and then. What I drool as I saw the system messages appearing in front of me. -Baekryeonhwa (Floor 25): Now, even challengers from the other world cane and go on Earth. -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): It seems that some dimension movement restrictions have been lifted due to the event of the dimensional cradle. -Baekryunhwa (25th floor): This is close to the worst. It was worth it. It seems that some of the dimension movement restrictions have been lifted? In short, it means that there is a possibility that challengers from other dimensions will invade. I woke up to that alert and immediately tried to return to Earth, but stopped when I saw the system message that popped up again. -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): But it is not possible for just anyone toe to Earth. -Baekryeonhwa (Floor 25): At least, I know that you can only move to a dimension if you pay the appropriate price after meeting certain conditions in the Cradle of Dimensions event. -Baekryeonhwa (25th floor): But the other side is threatening that if they dont submit to their forces, the emperor wille to Earth directly. At this point, it was enough to know for sure what situation you were in. ah. It was simple. Often those who climb the tower are rewarded for their hardships. Even if it was a separate event rather than an ordeal within the tower, it was no different. And the other side must have been a special reward that enabled dimensional movement in events like the dimensional cradle hosted by the tower. Now I know what it is. If so, wouldnt the answer be fixed? Perhaps, unlike the Earth, it seems that the other side has achieved a lot of results in the event of the dimensional cradle Even if at this point, it doesnt matter what the Emperor Pa, who is said to be the strongest among the Moorim people, has achieved. On the contrary, I should say that it went well. He would too Even if it wasnt so, I was going to go to Moorim sooner orter. After all, this one wasnt going to stay quietly on Earth anyway. Really I was looking forward to it. Originally, isnt it Moorims way to engage in charity work that only harms the strong? It doesnt change even if he is said to be the closest to the strongest among the challengers from the Moorim people. Somehow, the wave emperor on the other side looked forward to what kind of reward he would bring, so his heart beat happily. Youre lucky. I was smacking my lips like a wild beast facing prey before I knew it. *** In the blink of an eye, I decided to return to Earth and sent a message to Lee Ha-yeon. -Hunter (Floor 27): Dont worry. -Hunter (Floor 27): I n to return to Earth within an hour. -Hunter (27th floor): Until then, if you allow me to make contact with the envoy sent by Emperor Pa, I will take care of the rest. And that closed the dialog. At this point, it was enough to prepare for returning to Earth. It was only then that I leaned against the wall of the stone chamber and perused the towers final ranking. 26th Floor Ordeal Settlement Board -1st ce Hunter (SSS+) [Earth] -2nd ce Wave Emperor (SSS-) [Woorim] -3rd ce Old Gray Knight (SS+) [Ares] -4th ce Warrior who protects the light (SS ) [Cerion] -5th ce Prince of Hell (SS-) [Cerion] -6th ce Nakseong Divine Sword (S+) [Moorim] -7th ce Swordsman (S) [Moorim] -8th ce Undead are priests ( S-) [Kalian] It seemed like a lot of things had changed. The list of many rankers has changed. It was worth it. Challengers who climb the tower here always have death by their side. However, despite this, the person called Emperor Pa was ranked below this one. How strong is the Wave Emperor? At this point, I was curious. In fact, its not enough that he is the strongest among the Moorim people, so isnt he the one who boasts absolute skills except for me in the tower? Then, some information gathering was necessary. Anyway, Pacheonhwang is always recorded at the top of the towers settlement rankings, and since it was obvious that most of them would be at the center of the topic, you could get a lot of news just by going to themunity. and then. Thats correct. In fact, it was. You have entered the official climbing levelmunity. Difficulty C Difficult 27th floormunity [Channel: A-4] (487/2000) That battle-crazed old man doesnt even die. Are you going to start a war of conquest over Murim? damn it -Yunnam Medicine Vendor (Moorim): Thats right. Arent you an old man who won the Changcheon Swordsman Namgungsu, who is said to be a ve who has been around for a thousand years? Well, you can only dream of Moorim Iltong. -Thirty-six sword masters (Moorim): Is that all? I heard that the Sailor Invincible Boast was also tied. -Haenampas best gunman (Moorim): Ha! wave emperor. Hes like that old dog. After watching Haenampa, they keep saying that barbarians are misceneous things without the foundation of learning swordsmanship Wait. Because Im going to assassinate you with a sniper sooner orter. -Chief of Baehwagyo Dan Cheol-woon (Moorim): A gun? sniping? Assassination? under. ying with gunpowder toys like that, isnt it like listening to the sound of an ind countryman who hangs out with barbarians? buggy. -The best gunman in Haenampa (Moorim): ? C Dan Cheol-woon (Moorim), High Priest of Baehwagyo: Im curious about what you think of killing Emperor Pa with something like that. -The best gunman in Haenampa (Moorim): Youre talking bullshit. Baehwagyo? How dare a safar brat talk about guns. Where do you live? Life-and-death floats once? put a bullet through the heart huh? -Dan Cheol-woon (Moorim), High Priest of Baehwagyo: He has a raging temper like an ind nerd. -Haenampas best gunman (Moorim): You you bastard, dont get caught in my eyes anymore. If I see your rotten face, Ill put a bullet in your head. okay? C Dan Cheol-woon (Moorim), High Priest of Baehwagyo: You will be judged by the sacred me of the main throne. C Master of Magic (Moorim): Those bastards are fucking shit again. Of course, it wasnt just nutritious content. They really look like Moorim people. I read all the chats in themunity before I knew it, and I was dumbfounded andughed. The only thing he found out about Emperor Pa was that he was preparing for the Murim Il Tong. After removing that, all that was left was the image of them quarreling and fighting each other like Moorim people. is there any useful news among the chats posted on the towersmunity? but for a while. -77th Sword Master Kyle (Ares): Ha. There is no ce to get real information. Are there no dimensional cradle in your world? Why are you doing all that unproductive bullshit? What a shame. Suddenly, the subject of the conversation changed due to a text posted on the towers system chat window. Perhaps there was someone who wanted to know the news about the tower simr to this one. One of the challengers who saw it immediately replied to the towermunity via chat, so we were able to hear a lot of news in earnest. -Yunnam Medicine Vendor (Moorim): Ares? Im in a different world, so I dont know the situation here There are restrictions on entry to the dimensional cradle. -77th Sword Master Kyle (Ares): Entry restrictions? -Yunnam Medicine Vendor (Moorim): Yes. They say that only a few people can enter the dimensional cradle created by the tower. -Sandong First Sword (Moorim): And the entrance to the Dimensional Cradle in Moorim is monopolized by Pacheonryun, so theres nothing more to know about it. -Gwigoks all-time high level killing (Moorim): Correct. Wave Emperor monopolizes numerous rewards from the Dimensional Cradle. Organizations other than Pacheonren do not have the right to participate in the dimension cradle. -77th Sword Master Kyle (Ares): Then -Yunnams drug dealer (Moorim): Its apetition between dimensions, so in the end, its a structure where only a few people dominate. -Sandong First Sword (Moorim): Of course, the limit on the number of people entering the Dimension Cradle can be lifted if certain conditions are met. The only difference is that if someone who monopolizes the dimensional cradle interferes with that, you wont be able to participate. -The youngest son of the Mado Family of the Heavenly Demonic Church (Moorim): Pacheonhwang. Thats why the old man is stuck in the dimensional cradle. To keep no one from entering the dimensional cradle. son of a bitch. -77th Sword Master Kyle (Ares): Then you cant just participate in the cradles event for pure purpose. -Gwigoks best ever killing (Moorim): ??. There was no particr ie for the event called the Dimensional Cradle. Anyway, you can understand that much just by going to Earth and listening to Lee Ha-yeons exnation. However, apart from that, being able to know where and what Emperor Pa was doing was a pretty big gain in itself. It was absurd. If the contents of the chat window are real, isnt it because Emperor Pacheon monopolizes the rewards in the dimensional cradle in Moorim, so he doesnt even have time toe to Earth? However, I couldnt understand what the hell the emperor was thinking, asking for unconditional submission, saying that he coulde here at any time. But even so, there was no need to try to understand that action. Hes a typical Moorim person. Most of the Murim people I have seen while climbing the tower have had a different thinking system from ordinary people. Is there any need to understand that way of thinking that is close to a flying beast, if you insist? At that, I let out a shallowugh and shook my head. but for a while. -Gwigoks best-ever kill (Moorim): Well, there is one news Im looking forward to. -Gwigoks greatest killer (Murim): This time, it seems that the emperor is expanding his power to the ce called Earth I said there is Still, am I one of the top rankers among the challengers to climb the tower? -Gwigoks greatest killing spree (Moorim): There is advanced information that the two will probably face each other as an event in the cradle of dimension. -Gwigoks all-time killing spree (Murim): There is no chance for the Hunter, a challenger from a small dimension, to win, but the emperor will also suffer formidable damage, so if there is a chance to assassinate it, thats the only time. -Gwigoks greatest killer (Murim): If you can assassinate Emperor Pa, youll be able to eat a small dimension like the Earth with your fishermans geography. Somehow, I pursed my lips as I watched stories that looked very interestinge up on the chat window of themunity. -Gwigoks greatest killer (Moorim): I know that there are many long-timers of the Murim faction here, but I want everyone to think about the ambush of Emperor Pa. Its nothing different C The best killer of the valley (Moorim): You dont know if you can even take the spoils of the challenger called Hunter? It seemed that people on the other side thought of me as just a trophy that could be obtained by defeating the emperor. But do you know that? In fact, in any world, if it is possible to invade each other based on the special rewards of the Dimension Cradle, it is no different from being able to counterattack with Murim from this side as well. Really Of course, that couldnt be the case. Originally from Moorim, the challengers are tainted with arrogance, unlike the general way of thinking. And if that wasnt enough, arent those who are making noise here elites who have risen to the second half of the tower in their own way? It really makes me look forward to it. Presumably, it was certain that the other side would not consider the possibility that I could go to Murim. You have purchased the Returning Stone (D+). unfortunately. Chapter 379 379. Dimensional Cradle (5) You have purchased the Returning Stone (D+) There was no need to waste time. At this point, it is safe to say that they have obtained all the news that can be obtained from the tower. I didnt feel the need to stay here any longer, so I chose to return to Earth as soon as I bought the Hearthstone. Challenger Han Seong-yoons intention to return has been confirmed. Consumes the return stone to return to Earth. And. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the studio, which now felt unfamiliar. There were only traces of dust inside the house, probably because they hadnt taken care of it since they went to the tower, but it didnt matter. After all, this is no longer the ce I need to be. Its just that the remnants of the past, which were not even a hunter, or the sense of life left in the house now feel cumbersome. But that is only for a moment. I guess Ill have to do what I have to do first. There was no time to get emotional. Perhaps even at the moment this side is doing this, the challenger who is said to havee from Moorim is roaming around the earth like a flying insect. Hurry up, I had to deal with the situation before the worm-like challenger from Murim had an ident. as quickly as possible. As it is, I then inject magic with lightning properties into the turned off smartphone to recharge the battery and immediately call Lee Ha-yeon. As always, it didnt take long to connect the call, as it did every time I contacted her. C Mr. Seongyun. Ive already done what the Tower asked for. I also heard the answer from the other side. Before I knew it, Lee Ha-yeons tired voice made me realize that the work I had requested in advance was over. Its nothing else As this side requested, they seeded in contacting the envoys sent by Emperor Pa, who is said to be the strongest among the Moorim people. And I admired it in my heart, and asked her again to make sure it was real. If the tower asked for it, would you say that the meeting with the challenger, the envoy from the Murim, took ce? -yes. The other side also took an interest in Seong-yoon just in time. So, it was not difficult to meet Seong-yoon. So where are we going? C Seoul Hunter Association. I said see you there. Do not worry. There are not only challengers and hunters for security purposes, but also me, so there will be no fights. I was momentarily speechless at that. Are you a guard? In fact, I wondered if there was a person in this district who was capable of protecting this side by even using the word guard. but for a while. -Mmm, of course its formal security. Everyone knows that Seong-yoon is strong, but if something happens, I cant stand it. All right. Well, I have no idea what to do with that. Just dont bring challengers who can be hostages to your opponents. C Oh, you dont have to worry about that part. First of all, the bodyguards were made up of high-level challengers who climbed the tower to the 25th floor, including myself. There will be no catch. Then it doesnt really matter. As it was, I agreed to her words as if it didnt matter anyway. Of course, as she said, there were no expectations for high-level security personnel. Even if they are from Earth, if they are challengers whose skills have been verified to some extent, they just think that there is no need to worry because they will not be a burden. Then Ill see you at the Seoul Hunter Association. pop-. With that, the phone call with Lee Ha-yeon ended. The preparations to exterminate the pests of Moorim that have entered the earth are over anyway. Thats why I immediately summoned the magical energy inside my body without wasting time. In an instant, the space I was standing in was distorted and I began to fold into a new space. [Whirling vortex] And then. Chijijijijijijik! As the space in front of me distorted and prepared for teleportation, I expanded my senses. All of his stats exceeded 3000 and were approaching 4000 as he went through the trials of the white crane inspection. And that is close to a level where even a high-ranking deity can overwhelm even for a short time with pure physical abilities. That means one thing. In fact, with my bodily senses, it is easy to search for prey within the. Still, there are no more challengers except for one real Moorim Only then was I convinced that there were no more pests in the earth. Most of the challengers who were originally from the Murim people lied, so I wondered if there were more Murim people hiding somewhere. But it wasnt. There is no conspicuous energy anywhere except for the presence of a Moorim-born challenger felt in the Seoul Hunter Association. Realizing that, I put a smile on my lips. Then I dont have to worry anymore. next moment. Chak-. As it was, I leaped perfectly into the space,nded on the roof of the Seoul Hunter Association, and looked up. hey. That was the moment. Are you the Hunter, the strongest challenger on this? I turned my eyes to the source of the sound at the unlucky voice that I heard in my ears before I knew it. In this world, they say that he is a strong man called a sword demon or a sword god There, a young man dressed in a very modern outfit, unlike a Moorim-born challenger, was standing there, chewing on a lollipop. hmm-. I guess that wasnt a lie at all? Well, if its your level, its worth making me a subordinate. but for a while. Come to think of it, I havent introduced myself yet. Somehow, the handsome young man standing over there spat out words that sounded like he was judging this side, then he nodded his head and continued with an approving tone. ah! For reference, I am Dan Woo-seong, the owner of Pacheonryeon. Wouldnt it be nice to remember After all, it is the name of the person you will serve as your superior. Its not different Hey. never forget Every time Ie here, you will have to act like my subordinate. got it? That pretty young man in front of me had a mysterious knack for arousing murderous urges. *** Sometimes thats the case. It is the moment when you feel an impulse just by hearing the voice of the person in front of you. An overwhelming urge, as if witnessing a mystery, runs through your body and makes you want to p the other person in the face. Ah Right Iughed out loud as my head became dizzy. What the hell is this? It was worth it. Suddenly, out of nowhere, you see this side and say that you will act like a subordinate every time youe to Earth? Somehow, the fact that I had to talk to the other side already made my head throb, but even that didntst long. Is that all you have to say? When I said that after swallowing the anger that had risen up to my throat, Dan Woo-seong shrugged his shoulders and replied. what? No way? If this was all I had to say, I wouldnt havee this far. obviously. Then why did youe? The reason I came here is to represent Pacheonryuns will and establish an alliance with Earth. well. At that, I gave a twisted smile as if I was dumbfounded and said lightly. What the hell are you talking about an alliance that you can give Earth? I will lend you my strength regarding the existence of the earth. ? Thats it. Woosung Dan said while rolling a lollipop in his mouth as if he was going to exin what that meant. Often in Moorim, protection money is paid in exchange for protecting the weak from foreign enemies. . The emperor wave promised to eliminate all things that threaten the existence of the earth in exchange for obedience. What. It was absurd. In fact, this ce has been prepared for a certain degree of external invasion based on the concept divinities. However, even if the other side offered protection against external enemies and the continuation of the earth, it couldnt have made much sense. and. dog sound! The baby was threatened to call the Pacheon Emperor and make the earth a wormwood field. How dare you say something like that The moment when one of the challengers who was standing guard after hearing that said something like that in anger. Deed-! In the blink of an eye, Dan Woo-sungs eyes shed, and an intangible feeling of pressure hung over the roof of the building. The bugs Of course, the intangible pressure has no physical force. Only Dan Woo-sungs will gives only light pressure to living creatures. However, that alone made the male challengersplexion pale. How dare you make fun of that tongue because since when did I allow you to speak? Suddenly, Dan Woo-sung gave off a cold look and used a different tone. What are these guys who are just lucky enough to be chosen to be in the tower talking about? As if the appearances he had shown so far were nothing more than fakes. Its disgusting to see scum who rely on mere witchcraft and install them without even knowing theyre weak. It wasnt even that. Suddenly, Dan Woo-sung clenched his fists, revealing his intention to kill seriously, as if his mood had deteriorated rapidly. Perhaps it is amon dislike for challengers from Moorim. you. Hunter. So what are you going to do? Unlike those worms, I gave you a chance. choose Will you all die to me here, or will you be loyal to Emperor Pa? I smiled at him. okay. This is what it looks like. Even as a Moorim person. In fact, the pretty young man in front of me seemed to be thinking of eliminating all the challengers here at once. But do you know that? Of course, after seeing me, he mixed it up with a slightly frivolous tone, so it seems like he would stop fighting if he swore an oath of allegiance well. I didnt really feel the need to do that. Because that single star in front of me was only at the level of a normal mortal. under. did you watch it? A bug that was only chosen by the top? Youre kidding too much. But wasnt that what it sounded like? You must know the difference between strength. Suddenly, Dan Woo-sungs eyes were swaying with a dark murderous intent. As if they were going to annihte them all without anyone else to look at. At that, I recited with a sneer on my lips. The difference in power? It was really fun. That sounds like a lot of fun. Thats what he should be The god of transcendence and death admires the logic of a certain mortal and makes a mockery of it . ] Its obvious which one would be better if we were to question the difference in strength between them. Divine < Empowerment > is used. You can use your divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a great deal of your divine power is consumed when you use yourmandments to interfere with thews of the world. Be crushed. Next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Indeed, the overwhelming power was concentrated in Dan Woo-sungs body and was thrust down. Chapter 380 380. Master of capture (1) In the blink of an eye, a holy storm rages and formless power descends from the sky. Divine < Empowerment > is used. You can use your divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a great deal of your divine power is consumed when you use yourmandments to interfere with thews of the world. Be crushed. And. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As a result, Dan Woo-sungs body fell to the floor of the roof of the building, and a scream close to a scream erupted. ?????????!! Its also very terrible. Crunchy-. It was worth it. In fact, wouldnt the power of the divinity < Words > exert power that could be said to be absolute for those who had no ability to resist the divinity? For example, at least monster-like powerful people from Moorim, such as the Five Seasons of Heaven and the Heavenly Demon, would be able to counteract this even a little bit. However, the opponent in front of me is not such a monster. You are weak. no. If I had to question it, should I say that it would make me feel foolish topare myself to people like Heaven and Earth and the Heavenly Demon? Because he was chosen by Top, Dan Woo-sung definitely had high basic abilities. However, it was only a matter of indicative aspects such as physical ability and the amount of mana possessed. At this point, Im wondering what kind of confidence he had in saying that. It is not possible to conclude a battle ability based on mere physical ability or the amount of magic possessed. Even though they are weakpared to this side, they also had high-level skills, and because of that, they were able to face me for a while. But the other side wasnt like that at all. Still, after being chosen by the top, it seemed that he had obtained various rewards as a challenger, but the results of his growth were quite disastrous, as if he had not been able to use them effectively. Its pitiful. At that, I said while watching Dan Woo-sung wriggling like a bug while being crushed by the floor of the roof of the building. I dont think you can tell me the difference in power at that level, at least. and. You seem to have quite a need to objectify yourself. Did that put a huge scratch on the pride over there? You! Suddenly, Dan Woo-seong gnashed his teeth and shouted, even though the blood vessels in his eyes were bursting and congested. Dont you guys say things like that! A mongrel who was lucky enough to be chosen by the tower! Dare! Not even that. Dan Woo-seong is scattering his mighty magic all over the ce, as if trying to escape from the dominance of the divine < Eon-ryeong >. To the extent that a magical storm erupted on the roof of the building. However, as a mortal who has not umted a single divine power in his heart, there is no way he can escape from the divine < Eon-ryeong >. under. I felt a mix of pathetic and boredom. Because its one of the reactions that challengers from Moorim who are often defeated see. asionally, the Moorim-born challengers had an excessive tendency to me others for their defeat. well. that would be you Arent you too weak to be a challenger chosen by the tower? I said it as I thought without adding or subtracting. Bastard! kill! kill me! If this is solved, I will kill you! okay!? but for a while. Kill? Hearing that, I smiled and replied. okay-! Even things like worms in this minor dimension! entire! I wont leave any of those bugs behind! next moment. Whoops-! ah? As it was, I grabbed Dan Woo-sungs left arm and bent it slowly. Kwajijik! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! And it didnt stop there. What you have to say is not to kill or what to do. In an instant, I grabbed Dan Woo-sungs right arm and smiled. The skill Torture Skill is activated. From now on, you can use a more natural torture method. It bes easier to instill fear and all kinds of torture efficiency increases by 10% I think the right thing to do is to look at it and pray for salvation. Ah-! Release this! I told you to let go immediately! Otherwise!! What are you going to do? ! Kwadeudeuk-! Dan Woo-seong, whose two arms were broken in the blink of an eye, struggled in pain. Maybe the pain I gave you is so great that you cante to your senses Isnt that something that this side should consider. The skill Amplify Pain is activated. From now on, the opponent you inflict damage will feel the pain twice as much. As it was, I twisted the opponents bent arm while activating the skills rted to torture. keuhuhuhh. And how many times did you repeat it? Youpletely trampled on the chances of survival of the challengers from Earth. know? Suddenly, Dan Woo-seong drools from his mouth and emits fear-mixed, angry eyes. If I dont return here unharmed, Emperor Pa will find out what youve done. ande to earth Do you know what that means? no. Now the Earth will disappear altogether! perfectly! A ce like this has no value except for a highly developed civilization! That was all! And that wasnt enough, Dan Woo-seong then said with augh as if he had lost his mind. Khehehe. That foolish choice of yours will kill everyone understand? Hearing that, I smiled at the corner of my mouth and spoke in a cold tone. No way. and. The authority to decide that rests with the strong. In response, I added my murderous intent to a coldugh and reached out my hand to Dan Woo-sungs face. Then, its not something only you and the like can talk about. next moment. Using Divine < Death > Divine < Death > erodes everything ording to the users will. You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. ! Because you and Pa-Emperor arent stronger than me anyway. In the blink of an eye, Dan Woo-sungs body was fragmented into hundreds of pieces and died a splendid death. *** Suddenly, only silence remained on the roof of the building except for a puddle of blood. It was just like that. What the hell is that? Seoul Hunter Association. The challengers summoned to the roof of the building here for security purposes were all treated as high-level rankers in Korea. This is because he is considered a world-ss ranker regardless of the final ranking just because he climbed the Tower of Trials near the mid-20th floor. Not even that. Still, even though it was unofficial, several challengers were dispatched from other countries to protect Han Seong-yoon, who was called the worlds strongest. Franz himself was like that too. But the monster The monstrous man in front of him couldnt be confined to the frame of being a world-ss ranker. Franz looked at Han Seong-yoon standing in front of him while drooling. Among the countless challengers in the district, I can say for sure that only that man is overwhelmingly different. Franz was sure of that. Originally, Moorims challenger must have had a reputation for being difficult to deal with even among those from different dimensions It was amazing. At least with just one word, you canpletely subdue a low-level Moorim challenger. Even Franz, who had faced countless challengers while climbing the tower, was convinced that only that man was in the realm of iprehensibility. no. Maybe the strongest in the tower, not just on earth. Thats a standard outfield. no. If I had to question this, it would not be the sentiment that only Franz felt. Perhaps all of the challengers here are soaked in the same sentiment as Franz. However, apart from that, one of the challengers asked Han Seong-yoon if he was anxious. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Thats not what Im going to say. I heard that that man holds an important position in the faction called Pacheonryeon in his own way. One of the blonde challengers continued with a worried look. Actually, even if its not turning the whole Moorim dimension into an enemy, I think having an adversary called Emperor Pa is a bad choice in the world. And Han Seong-yoon, who heard that, turned his head expressionlessly and replied. So. I cant help it because its already happened, but I want to ask if you have any other ns for this. doesnt exist. ? And Its okay. Han Seong-yoon replied with an emotionless expression as if it didnt matter. At most, theres no way that other things could invade the earth I protect. Not a very believable answer. In fact, doesnt it mean that you increased your enemies in another world without thinking about it? Of course, it cant be helped Even so, at least one person could have been scolded for being too careless with that statement. But none of the contenders summoned here showed signs of not epting that statement. It was great that I couldnt refute that statement. Thats probably the case, too, because there was something strangely agreeable about that monstrous mans words. Franz realized through instinct, not reason, that those words were close to the truth. and. Not even that. If I had to argue, I would have to say that it wasnt Earth that had a difficult opponent, but that side. That monstrous man was talking assuming victory, as if it were natural. Because I becamepletely hostile to Moorim because of this incident. But this time, there were no people who could deny that. *** Time passed quickly. Contender Han Seong-yoons victory against a top-notch master has brought him 0.14% closer to [Transcendence]. It was changed to a handful of abilities. Although it was slight, all of his stats rose significantly. And The True Blood Demon Sword (S+)s exclusive effect , Blood Eating, is activated. I do. Its not particrly bad. The Blood Heaven Demon Sword also grew. It was worthwhile to use Blood Recipe, the exclusive effect of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. Perhaps, if I went to a ce like Moorim one more time, I would be able to raise the item grade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword to SS, assuming I was lucky. ah. but for a while. Isnt that another? At that thought, I raised my head and looked outside the ship. -The briefing is over. The dimensional cradle is a ce that only challengers can enter. Challengers from all over the world are the hope of this. Good luck. At the end of the voice announcing the end of the briefing that resonated throughout the fleet, a huge red cube structure could be seen across the sea covered with thick fog. It looks like a bright red jewel inted to an unbelievable size. I already knew what that was. Actually, the ces where I can grow are not limited to ces like Moorim. Its not different That ce must be fun too. It was a dimensional cradle. Chapter 381 381. Master of strategy (2) Before I knew it, I rested my chin while looking at the structure of the Dimensional Cradle that resembled a bright red jewel. That huge jewel-like structure in front of me was one of the events organized by the Tower. And as you can see from that fact, I was aboard a warship headed for the Dimensional Cradle that had appeared on Earth. Somehow, I arrived at the Dimensional Cradle faster than expected. I came here as soon as I stopped Pacheonryuns depravity at the Seoul Hunter Association. Lee Ha-yeon, who was with me at the scene, brought me here saying that she received a call from the Korean government saying that we had to leave in a hurry. In fact, I came here as if I was dragged halfway there So I smiled at the structure of the Dimension Cradle that came into view a few minutes ago. Its a serious matter that could end the world, so I cant waste time. Noints whatsoever. The events held under the leadership of Bondi Tower were all open to anyone from all over the world, but that was not the case this time. A situation in which only a small number of people on Earth can enter the dimensional cradle. With just a little bit of time, an unfortunate ident could have happened that one of the challengers who hadnt even checked their background, let alone verified their skills, entered there. If that happened, it would be the worst thing on Earth. Anyway, the reason I came to Earth was to enter the dimensional cradle, so theres nothing wrong with it. Not even that. In fact, unlike anyone who climbed the tower could enter the event, the dimension cradle had many restrictions on entry. Still, in its own way, the event of the giant treebyrinth is autonomous choice, and it was not a serious event to the level of bringing about the destruction of the earth, but the dimension cradle was openly discussing essential choice and even the continuation of the world. Perhaps with this event, Tower wants to shake off all the challengers who will be weeded out one day Of course, there is no need to be overly nervous. Well, it has nothing to do with me. After all, nothing can happen on Earth while I am there. And that was also the case with thepetition with the other world in the Dimensional Cradle event held by the tower. At least if an ancient deity or a higher deityparable to it did not appear, this side would be able to carry thepetition with the other world sufficiently. -We are scheduled to arrive at the dimensional cradle in 10 minutes. Until then, challengers, please enter the Dimensional Cradle as soon as you are ready. Please, please save the earth. Before I knew it, I raised my head when I heard the sound of guidance echoing inside the warship heading to the Dimensional Cradle. True Earths salvation? There was a bit of a cheesy feeling to it, but it was also true, so it wasnt particrly strange. In fact, all the challengers aboard the fleet here are participating in the tower event, where the fate of the Earth depends. It wasnt that different here either. Somehow I feel strange. At that, I narrowed my eyes as I gazed at a red cube floating across the sea. Come to think of it, I heard that the number of people who can enter the cradle of that dimension is fixed Its nothing else Aftering here, I remembered one of the briefings I heard through the warships announcement sound. Did I mention that there are already about a dozen people in the cradle because they urgently recruited challengers from all over the world to enter the cradle of dimension? It crossed my mind that perhaps there might be an acquaintance like Catherine Bet among the vanguard out there. but for a while. Mr. Seongyun. As I was looking at the dimension cradle of the sea in front of me, I suddenly heard a clear voice. I turned my head to check the source of the sound and saw a familiar face. There, Lee Ha-yeon, who seemed quite nervous, was talking to me while looking this way. I have to go. Now, most of the challengers say that they are ready to enter the dimensional cradle I think we should enter before its toote. Even though she is now one of the veteran challengers who have climbed the Tower of Trials to the mid-20th floor, there was an indelible tension on her face. Perhaps, since the tower was openly talking about the end of the world, she must have felt a great sense of crisis about it . All right. That would be too Then lets go in now. Just showing you what an overwhelming power is will make all those negative feelings go away. *** Chow-! Strongly activates the authority Steel Wings. In an instant, I spread my wings made of steel and flew over the misty sea. There was no need to use space movement-type abilities such as the ck magic [Twirling Vortex]. After just flying like that for a few seconds, I was able to stand right in front of the red jewel. But for some reason, there was no system message asking whether to enter the dimension cradle. Originally, in the case of a tower or a giant treebyrinth, there was a system message asking for entry, which is a strange situation. However, this side had already heard some exnation from Lee Ha-yeon beforehand, so they were not taken aback. Did you say you could get in just by touching it? Red cube jewel. As soon as I reached out my hand there, my eyes were stained ck. Just like when entering a stage on a new floor by a tower. Satisfying the entry conditions. Entering the dimension cradle. Bnces the strength of the challenger Han Seong-yoon to some extent. Temporarily seals most of all of the challenger Han Seong-yoons equipment and all stats. Even that alone no. In the blink of an eye, the formless power that spreads throughout the ck space tightened my body. Presumably, it seemed that he was trying to restrict all abilities on this side, such as when entering a special stage in the tower, or when entering the Trial of the Secret Garden or the Giant Tree Labyrinth. Its a seal. However The myth of transcendence < absolute immutability > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons actions will have the divinity effect of < denial of alteration >. All negative changes about you realized by outside interference can be denied. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < one and only >. Outside phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission. And thats only for a moment. Kwakagagakgagak! The god of transcendence and death expresses deep displeasure. ] And the moment I activated the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability >. As it was, the restrictions of the system that had been extending from all over the ck space froze. And even that was not enough, and as the divine power added with the status of an ancient god resonated once, cracks broke out all over the ck space. [] [An error has urred.] [Challenger Han Seong-yoon is expelled because he does not meet the entry conditions of the dimension cradle&@^] Did the other side finally realize that I was outside the standard? In the blink of an eye, the entire field of vision was colored with red system messages, and I felt that they were trying to kick me out of this ce. but for a while. Following the transcendental myth < Absolute Unchanging >, I applied the power of the transcendental myth < Spirit Tuning > and roughly trampled on his will to be banished. Crunchy-. And with that, the struggle between them ended. . Challenger Han Seong-yoon will enter the Dimensional Cradle [E-01] soon. Filled the initial entry limit [30/30] of the Dimensional Cradle [E-01]. Dimensional Cradle[E-01] E-01] for the time being, challengers from Earth will no longer be allowed to enter. It was only then that I drew an arc on the corner of my mouth and smiled as if I liked it. DHuh Damcheonwu, who saw that, trembled with the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, and then said as if he was dumbfounded. DYes Now, even things that are under the control of the Tower can be controlled so easily. Its amazing. I shrugged my shoulders and replied lightly. Because I am now one of the Ancient Godheads. Shouldnt we be doing this? There is nothing to be surprised about. Now, it is not enough that I have entered the realm of an ancient deity, so I have the ability to differ from general myths such as the transcendental myth. Then, it was only natural to resist the top penalty. It is because he is trying to gradually ovee the stronghold of the tower by breaking away from the days when he was only a mere challenger and achieving a conceptual divinity on a cosmic level. Of course, its still not enoughpared to other ancient deities And I smiled at him and gave out greedy eyes. That wontst too long. ancient deity. Even if it is a tower, it is a word that refers to the level of transcendence, referring to the level of divinity that has been reborn as a cosmic being that cannot be treated carelessly. Im still barely stepping into the world of the ancient deities, but Im sure it wontst long. Perhaps I will achieve a level that is second to none of the ancient gods. Because I still have a lot of ways to grow. no. If I had to argue, I would have to say that I am looking at a new state beyond that. Based on the Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > and the growth ability of Necromancy, you can definitely surpass the level of an ancient god just by repeating battles. Its something Im really looking forward to. I felt my heart beating pleasantly and enjoyed the anticipation. either die or live. It was certain that after repeating the only extreme battle, I would die a dog or get the desired result. And the moment of decisive battle was getting closer and closer. Originally, I was also to umte strength against the god of despair, fall, and madness. That grotesque ancient deity must still be obsessed with killing me. Even if I be an ancient deity, if I do not resolve the fight against the ancient deity, the earth will suffer endless threats. I instinctively sensed it. Isnt it something to be anxious about? But somehow I didnt particrly hate it. The level of expectation to be rewarded after winning victory over one of the ancient deities, the god of despair, fall, and madness. As I thought about what I would gain at the end of the fierce battle, I turned even a little bit of anxiety into a kind of anticipation. In other words, it would mean that I would get a golden opportunity to y the ancient deity. It was natural. Because high risk alwayses with high returns. It was all the more so because it was a rule that I had carved into my mind from the time I became a challenger climbing the tower. Im sure itll be interesting to see what I can get out of it. Then there is no need to be anxious anywhere. The moment I had anticipation for the showdown with the ancient deity. System messages appeared in front of my eyes, and the scenery in my field of vision changed. I have entered the dimension cradle < Dark World [E-01] >. Before I knew it, I was able to arrive at a field surrounded by ck light from a space dyed ck. Perhaps this was the stage of the dimensional cradle. As soon as I noticed that, I read all the system messages. A challenge for the Dimensional Cradle < Dark World [E-01] > has urred. Challenge Description: Challengers from Earth cooperate to assassinate the Dark Emperor who stays in the Dimensional Cradle < Dark World [E-01] >. Do it. Challenge Warning: Challengers from another dimension in the single-dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > will protect the Dark Emperor. Challenge Sess Condition: Assassinate (0) the Dark Emperor . /1) Challenge Sess Reward: All stats +10 ? Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) ? Random Item Box (B+) And. The next moment. What. At that, I frowned and let out a drool as if I was dumbfounded. Assassination? Challenge. It seems that this is a kind of victory condition given to the dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > If the contents of the system messages that appeared in front of you are all real, it is truly something that cannot be ignored. Its amazing Actually, you could say Im the elite of the elite when ites to assassination. Isnt this just a level where you are told to clear it easily? It is also specializing in assassination without a single witness. Chapter 382 382. Master of capture (3) Dimension Cradle < Dark World [E-01] > challenge has urred. Challenge Description: Challengers from Earth cooperate with each other to create the Dimension Cradle < Dark World [E-01] ] > Assassinate the Dark Emperor who stays within. Challenge Characteristics: Challengers from other dimensions in the single-dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > will guard the Dark Emperor. Challenge Sess Conditions : Assassinate the Dark Emperor (0/1) Challenge Sess Reward: All stats +10 ? Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) ? Random Item Box (B+) . Looking at it, Iughed. True Assassination. Originally, as I climbed the tower, I had done several assassinations (?) with advanced techniques, so I could have called myself a master of assassination. If thats the case, its absurd to say that the challenge given within the dimensional cradle is assassination. Isnt this really too easy? Its a level that can be said to be close to an event where you just openly eat it raw. This is Its not even that. In fact, at the moment of entering the dimensional cradle, this side had to seal all the things obtained from the tower. It was only because I activated the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > and forcibly broke the penalty that I was able to do my best. Its a huge gap. And that means only one thing. At least in the dimension cradle < Dark World [E-01] >, no one can match my assassination ability. Even if they were challengers from another dimension, they wouldnt be able to maintain the original abilities they had acquired in the tower. If so, this was a structure that had no choice but to win. . And thats not all. If I had to argue, one of the gaps would be that I couldnt use the many equipment I got from the tower with the challengers authority. Should I say it feels like using a cheat mode in the game? Somehow, I felt sympathy for the otherworldly challengers who might have been matched as our enemies, and I expressed condolences to them, even if only slightly. but for a while. I have to do what I have to do first. Before I knew it, I realized that staying here wasnt particrly advantageous, and I let go of my thoughts. In fact, isnt the challenge we received in the dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > to kill the emperor of a country? You dont have to spend time in the same spot to make it easier to track this side. Even if that wasnt the case, it wouldnt hurt to know where the challengers from Earth are gathered or where the target of assassination, the Dark Emperor, is. As it was, I lightly kicked the ground. Strongly activates the authority skill Steel Wings And. I flew up to the cloudyer in the sky in an instant and frowned. What is this again? It was worth it. The view of the interior of the dark world from the sky was simr to that of the Pandemonium, which was all stered in dull colors. The only difference is that the concentration of demonic energy that spreads in this dark world belongs to a very light axis unlike the demon realm. Only then did I raise my physical senses and unleash a wave of magical energy without anyone noticing. Its really a world like the Demon World. I felt the magic scattered all over the world. Perhaps, simr to the Demon World, Magi seems to be the basis of the Then, it was clear that even the assassination target, the Dark Emperor somewhere in this dark world, would depend heavily on Magi. Its fun. It certainly wasnt bad. Originally, since I was a mortal, I had obtained and possessed many skills or myths that could definitely counter the opponents demonic energy. No matter what that other side does, as long as I have the absolute ability to resist Magi, I will not be defeated. Theres no need to waste time. At this point, it can be said that there is no danger in the dark world. I then spread the waves of magic farther and tuned my senses to find out more information. Beyond finding out things such as creatures or terrain, I felt where the demonic energy mixed with the flow of air flowed. and then. Theres nothing more to know. Before I knew it, I had a perfect understanding of the dark world. It seems that there is a dark emperor over there, seeing that there is arge concentration of demons in a ce that looks like an imperial pce in the dark world. was in I smiled at him. They said it was an advance team Come to think of it, there was something like that among the briefings I heard on the warship before entering the dimensional cradle. At least I needed to know what the dimensional cradle was, so I sent 10 challengers who could be carefully selected from Earth in advance. And since there are challengers who went to the advance party, this side can join the advance party and carry out the operation. It didnt seem wrong at all. It doesnt seem like the challengers who went to the starting lineup achieved much. Its just a pity that I still havent been able toplete this easy challenge given by the Dimensional Cradle. Well, not all challengers from Earth came here without penalty like me. Of course it was understandable. Although this side avoided the penalty of the dimension cradle based on the ability of the transcendental myth < Absolute Unchanging >, there was no way that challengers from Earth could imitate it. Thats why I shook off my thoughts that werent particrly productive, and converted my internal mana into demonic energy and developed ck magic. [Whirling vortex] The next moment. Chak-. In an instant, I jumped through space andnded in a forest stained with ck light. At a nce, none of these ces are special, but to my eyes, as an ancient deity, everything is clearly visible. It must have been a ce like some kind of exploration base where challengers from Earth gathered. I am Sungyoon Han, a challenger from Earth. Actually, nothing was different. Please let me in. After I said that, some time passed. Are some of the skills that are like security devices hung all over the forest unlocked? As it was, the space in the forest split open, and a white man walked out from there with a nervous expression. Seongyoon Han. Identification has been confirmed. Originally, we were going to visit you, but we are d you came in person. Is that so. yes. I would appreciate it if you would kindly understand. Then, I will guide you to the temporary base. thank you. And just like that, I followed the white man and looked inside the base. Still, is it the result of gathering only the elite of the challengers from Earth? In fact,pared to Earths facilities, this ce was equipped with modern facilities at a level where it could be said that nothing waspromised. But. So absurd. I couldnt help but roll my eyes at him. The fact that the equipment level of the base is this high means that they intend to stay here more. It was worth it. If the challenges of the dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > were easy to think about, there was no way that the other side would be able to raise the facilities of the base so leisurely like that. It seems that the assassination of the dark emperor somewhere in the dark world is viewed from a long-term perspective Isnt that a strategy that doesnt work well with this side? Did I really need to drag this long on this easy challenge? As a result, I noticed that the presence of the base was concentrated in one ce, and turned my gaze to the white man. . For some reason, that white man had been ncing at me like a celebrity with a nervous face. It seemed strange to see this side of me in real life, probably because something was known about me on Earth. And thats not enough, I think Id like to have a little conversation with you, even if its just a few words Theres no time for that kind of thing. I have a question for you. This is my Jason. Just feel free to call me. You can ask any questions. I know what. Then can you tell us where the other challengers are? When I asked him that question, Jason paused for a moment before replying. I am in the conference room. As you know since youve seen the Challenges of the Dimensional Cradle, theres something we need to prepare to assassinate the Dark Emperor, so theres a meeting going on about it ? Its done. As it was, I looked at Jasons eyes expressionlessly and pursed my lips. In that case, please guide me to the meeting room at the base. Im guessing Because that makes me feel like I can do what I need to do. Perhaps they needed in-depth instruction on this sides assassination technique. *** Base conference room. Im here. In fact, it looked more like a small building of sorts than a meeting room for a small base. You should already know that Han Seong-yoon ising, so there wont be much talk once you enter the meeting room. Then Ill just go. It was an honor to meet you. I didnt like it very much. All right. To put it bluntly, its also because Im nning to beat the challenge of the dimensional cradlete, so even the meeting room will be equipped with the size of a small building. and then. The moment I opened the door to the conference room inside the small building. I was able to put in my field of vision the familiar figures surrounding therge round table in front of me. Should I say it as expected after seeing this Its not even that. Most of them are familiar faces. Still, is it because he built a rtionship with challengers or hunters from Earth? Before I knew it, I noticed that I could recognize almost everyone in this conference room. Such were the people like Sachio Michimoto, whom he faced during the unification ordeal on the 13th floor while climbing the Tower of Ordeal, or Chen Shaoling, whom he met on Earth in an incident rted to the Celestial Bridge. In addition, there were also challengers in the conference room with whom I had some acquaintances, such as Catherine Bet and Kim Seung-hoon. The meeting doesnt seem to be going well. but for a while. So you sneaked into the Dark Emperors stronghold to gather information? You are out of your mind. Michael. You must know what kind of demonic realm it is. what. I will understand though. Its not just one persons life at stake, its a matter of the survival of the. But dont cross the line. Could it be that they dispatched a challenger to the ce where the Dark Emperor was to collect information? The challengers in the conference room were almost angry at a ck man sitting in the seat of honor. Without even noticing that I entered the conference room. In response, a ck man sitting at the head of the conference room, called Michael, frowned and sighed as if it were natural. There is no reversal of decisions. Michael continued in a cold tone. I thought it would be best to send challengers to the center of the dark world to collect information. It evokes contemptuous eyes as if looking at the lower ss people who are only oblivious. under. goofy Then the challengers die. And those are only 30 challengers who can no longer be replenished. Chen Xiaoling snarled at him, and Catherine Bet, Michimoto Sachio, and Kim Seung-hun agreed with that opinion. This time Chen Shaoling is right. Compared to the number of challengers that can enter the Dimensional Cradle, this intel-gathering operation is far too daring. There is no solution. okay. Since the existence of the earth is at stake, you can be sensitive. However, it makes no sense to sacrifice challengers thoughtlessly with this. Michael. Your argument is more like a lunatics bullshit. Ive also mastered stealth, but I think Ill be killed by a dog while gathering information in that demonic realm. Michael replied with a twisted smile. Yeah dog death? I dont think its such a big deal to spend time and send useless challengers to gather information when the fate of the Earth is at stake. Its pitiful. Michael said with a hostile look in his eyes. Its just sad that I have to shoulder the fate of the world with you guys. and. Do you think the challenger Han Seong-yoon, who hase here, will think the same as you about the fate of the earth? That was the moment. Is it too much to entrust the task of collecting information to ten useless challengers? Suddenly, Michael turned his head around while sitting in the seat of honor, and immediately looked this way and smiled. well. Perhaps the challenger for the world ranking has the same thoughts as me. yes? To put it bluntly, it seemed like a kind of political quality within the team. What. But did the team be too immersed in the work of politicizing themselves? It also uses the effect of a kind of skill to apply invisible and invisible pressure. It was absurd to look at this side that had just arrived at the meeting room and send that kind of look without exining the situation. And What is that doing now? That means one thing. Did you say Michael? ah! Thats right. Mr. Seongyun Haha, you might have been embarrassed because I asked for your opinion without exining the situation. Well, as you know since you heard what we said after entering the conference room, we Im not curious. After all, at most, it would have been a scramble over whether or not to let the challengers risk their lives to collect information in the presence of the Dark Emperor. oh! youre right. Those challengers are really selfish and dont know the seriousness of this situation and are trying to take their own lives, but I think Seong-yoon will have a different opinion Thats enough . Nothing else I have a question for you, Michael. Yes? What on earth do you have to ask. Do you want to be killed by me right now? ? Doesnt that mean the same as a rabbit opening its eyes in front of a beast and challenging it to a fight? This question is purely out of curiosity, so you can turn off the skill effect and answer. At that, I smiled, exuding the same gaze as that of an intrigued predator. Chapter 383 383. Master of strategy (4) Deja vu. Or should I say dj vu? At this moment, I was experiencing the phenomenon that everyone has experienced at least once. Looking at Michael in front of me made me feel as if I had experienced something like this before. Its fun. no. In fact it would have been. I dont know why, but this is a constitution that easily gets into trouble. Hasnt it been like this almost every time Ie to Earth or face challengers from Earth? I cant believe there are still people who think so lightly about this side. At this point, I wonder if Ive been cursed by some divinity, but . There was no time to think deeply about it. Ha ha ha ha ha. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. I think I just misunderstood. Is that correct? Its not different Wasnt the other side not understanding thenguage at all? Suddenly, Michaels face darkened. I responded lightly with a smile on my lips. no. You must have heard it right. I was just wondering if he wanted to die to me purely. In an instant, there was a heavy silence in the hall. As if he had said something that would not have been possible in a conference room. And it was the same with several challengers who had been angry with Michael. Well, it seemed that some of the challengers who knew about me were going to do it sooner orter, but the challengers who didnt know about me, like Michael, didnt. Huh youre joking too much. We are both challengers from the same district, so are you saying that? Thats right. I know that challenger Han Seong-yoon is world number one, but I think I have to keep my face. Its true Its absurd. Youre not a kid, youre fighting like that? Were not really going to fight each other anyway. kidding. It was worth it. Still, those who act withmon sense because they stay on Earth for a long time in their own way will think that this side is joking too much. Either that, or a way of suppressing the steamboat that didnt even work. But when I heard that, I said it with an even deeper smile on my lips as if I was dumbfounded. Youre kidding And then. No way. next moment. Cant this be a joke? In response, I drew out some of the magic in my body so that others could feel it. Deed-! In the blink of an eye, he lightly filled the conference room with his body magic. To make it easier to understand what level this side had, I even showed a part of the level of divinity. The mana that had been dormant in his body overflowed and caused shallow vibrations throughout the meeting room. Only then did the faces of those who sarcastically say that I was joking too much or that I was overpowering childlike enthusiasm changed when they heard what I said. This is How on earth can a human being have this much magical power? What! How many magical powers do you have to be at the level of a monster like this!! Even though it only made me feel a part of this sides magic power, there were quite interesting reactions. . It was no different for Michael. Suddenly, Michaels face hardened. Then, I sprayed the mana in my body thicker and pressed the conference room, then continued. I dont know why you tried to convince me by using your skills. That Not only that, but I dont really care what kind of person you are. I dont even want to know why Im acting as a captain here. and then. Still, youd better keep this one thing in mind. At that moment, I whispered with a glint in my eyes like that of a predator. That if you do that trick on me one more time, it will be perceived as a real want to die. As it was, I looked at Michaels pale face and continued talking as if it were nothing. If you keep that one thing in mind, I wont harm you. Thats it, Ill do that. You dont even have to answer. . At that, I looked straight into Michaels eyes and smiled. No matter what you say, if you go against what I said, I will really kill you. However, this time the answer did note back. *** The achievement Master of Intimidation has been achieved All stats increase by 1 . I frowned at the message that appeared in front of me. A master of intimidation. It just seemed like I wanted a fight over there, so I just sorted it out simply. But to say that this side is a master of intimidation with that Somehow, even though I received an achievement reward, I felt resentment. But that is only for a moment. Is this a nder again? At this point, Im used to it now. In fact, the towers system was ndering me for nothing. In response, I shook my head as if I was tired of this and sat down in one of the seats in the conference room. One, and that for a while. Before I knew it, I noticed that the eyes of the conference room were focused on this side. Perhaps, even that Michael drew attention unintentionally in the process of resolving a conflict with a challenger called That guess seemed correct as expected. The special power Whisper of the Blue me sends a whisper to challenger Han Seong- yoon . Suddenly, I turned my head to the sound of aughing voice in my ears. -Thats why you dont have a strong feeling, though. Its nothing else Katherine Bet, who was in the conference room, said that with a smile on her face. ah. Only then did I notice that the gaze looking this way in the conference room was not so bad. Somehow, all the eyes looking at me dont seem that bad Except for a small number of people, most of them seemed to like what I had done, even if they were radical. Did I unintentionally get the favor of the other challengers? It was worth it. Perhaps that Michael, pretending to represent the thirty or so challengers, was of the opinion that rtively weak challengers should be spent gathering information Considering that, most of the challengers had no choice but to show favor to this side. In fact, from an outside perspective, as soon as I entered the meeting room, I ignored Michaels words and created a pretty cool situation. Actually, I wouldnt have thought of doing this if it werent for the other side using my skills and almost threatening me. But apart from that, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut. Its not specifically intended, but But thats for a while. Still, if you think about it, its a pretty good result. As a result, I realized that I could use this situation unexpectedly. Come to think of it, they said they sent challengers from Earth to a ce in the center of the dark world. Didnt this side want to execute an elite (?) quick assassination in the assassination of the Dark Emperor? Foolishly. Then this was your chance. There is no need to use challengers from Earth like that for such an inefficient task. Exactly Take them out immediately. The opportunity to clear the dimension cradle < Dark World [E-01] > without wasting time hase. What else is that Of course, there is no objection at all. Michael, sitting at the head of the conference room, frowned and started growling. As if he had a mission that he had to fulfill, apart from being frightened at seeing this side. Actually, nothing was different. gibberish! At the cost of some of the challengers from Earth, we must find information that will help us assassinate the Dark Emperor! That would be the best action that can be taken for the salvation of the Earth Perhaps that Michael, the challenger, thinks that all the challengers here are shouldering the fate of the earth . I will not repeat it. Isnt that something I dont know? I take all responsibility. To that, I just calmly told Michael as if it was a final persuasion. Take it out. and. Right Now. The moment Michaels face contorted, those two eyes looked this way. under! responsibility? Who can be held responsible for this? For some reason, something like burning desire was wriggling in his eyes. This is apetition between dimensions betting each others world. Michael let out a voice filled with resentment. The fate of the Earth is at stake. I know. Do you think you can take that responsibility? yes. But I answered without hesitation. I think we can take responsibility for more than that. Of course. This side had already reached the level of an ancient deity and was already protecting the earth by enveloping it in divinity. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have been in charge of the fate of the earth for a long time. So If so, wouldnt the answer be fixed? Please do as I say. and. under. I hope you can take responsibility for those words. I dont think you can. After that, Michael frowned and gave orders to what appeared to be his subordinates. Daniel. Bring back all the challengers who sent out expeditions. Within 10 minutes. At that moment, a man named Daniel, who was sitting in one corner of the conference room, nodded and got up from his seat and went outside. Now then, lets listen. Sungyoon Han. How can you be held responsible for the assassination of this Dark Emperor? Come on. Hearing that, I nodded and replied. I will step forward and immediately assassinate the Dark Emperor. However, the attitude of several challengers, including Michael, seemed to be dissatisfied with the answer. Do you know that even Sachio Michimoto, the Japanese assassin, failed to assassinate the Dark Emperor? With what kind of confidence do you say something like that But I didnt even listen to Michael, as if I didnt even need to hear that more. Once you see it, you will know. What Why did I say I could assassinate the Dark Emperor? At this point, the other challengers sitting in the conference room also looked this way as if they were dumbfounded. Those who knew me, like Catherine Bet or Sachio Michimoto, looked at me in dubious doubt, but the other challengers did not. Should I just say that I kept my mouth shut because of the overwhelming amount of magical power that I showed off as soon as I entered the conference room? It did not seem that this side would seed in assassinating the Dark Emperor. Time passed like that. After a man called Daniel returns to the meeting room. As Michael received a report from Daniel, he nodded and spoke to us. They said that all challengers from Earth were retrieved from the ecliptic in the center of the Dark World, so lets take a look. Michael spoke in an extremely cold voice. How can you solve this situation where the fate of the Earth is at stake. It was only then that I saw Michaels disbelief in his eyes and replied with a smile. All right. not different. If you are curious about how I will assassinate the Dark Emperor, you can follow me. This The god of transcendence and death smiles at the challengers from Earth. It was an assassination technique. Chapter 384 384. Master of strategy (5) There is no need to waste time. As it is often said that a thousand words is worth a thousand words Rather than talking about assassination methods that only ancient deities can execute, it would be better to just show them what they are trying to do, as if lecturing them once. Anyway, after seeing it myself, I wont be arguing about what Im doing right or wrong. It was the option that could most certainly exin the meaning of this side. I wasnt too worried. At most, this was all about killing a certain monarch called the Dark Emperor. Among the numerous enemies he faced while climbing the tower, there were those who held more power than any countrys monarch, but nothing changed. There is no need to spend more time on an enemy who is only at the level of a mortal like the Dark Emperor. It was natural. Wasnt the winner always this way? Then there was no need to worry any more. Its just a challenge that I can eat raw. The moment I walked out of the small building with the meeting room with a slight sneer on my lips. Jijijijijijik! Weing Vortex As it is, the mana in the body was immediately converted into demonic energy, and the ck magic with the modified form was deployed. If I had topare it, should I say that it was a change from a personal elevator to a multi-person elevator? In the middle of the exploration base, a ck space movement passage made of ck magic opened. This one wasnt particrly difficult to see. But is it different to them? What else is that The ability of the space movement system? Its not enough that I have that much magic power, so I have the ability to specialize in space Suddenly, the other challengers expressed their surprise when they saw that I opened the passage of space movement with ck magic. It was obvious why he was doing that. Maybe its because unlike this side, normal challengers dont have a case of mastering not onlybat skills but also some kind of auxiliary ability . And even if that wasnt the case, it wasnt difficult to hone my auxiliary abilities, as I had abilities like Necromancy or Shinhwas < Possibility of Transcendence >. So I licked my lips casually. I opened the road to the imperial pce, so you can go this way. And the chak-. Soon, the moment I crossed the passage of space movement made of ck magic. Is it over there? It was only then that I was able to see a city in the center of the dark world. It was as if a city in the demon realm was half mixed with an imperial pce in another world. At first nce, it might look like a pce with nothing special about it, but thats just the exterior. Its like an iron wall. It was worth it. It was because the imperial pce in front of me was protected by something like an unknown barrier or magic circle. Not even that. I thought it had some simrities with the Demon Realm, but as if it wasnt really different, the imperial pce was protected not only by barriers and magic circles, but also by some kind of demonic divinity. That too is at a fairly high level. Its not like I received the grace of a demon, one of the ancient deities. If I had to argue, I would have to say that it was closer to the divinity of one of the higher deities. That means one thing. Its nothing else Then I dont have to worry about taking care of myself. As a matter of fact, it didnt really matter if the other side did the sword dance as they wished. Its something Im really looking forward to. But is it just this sides point of view? All of the challengers from Earth who came here had a look of discouragement on their faces. Even those who had teamed up together while climbing the tower in the past didnt seem to think that this side would seed in the assassination. Seongyoon-nim. Im sorry as soon as I havent seen you in a long time. I would like you to reconsider the solo assassination of the Dark Emperor. Sachio Michimoto, who approached us at some point, said with a gloomy expression. I also tried to attack the Dark Emperor as an assassin, but I couldnt break through the strict protection facilities of the imperial pce. And thats not all. I am angry at Michaels authors logic of using the Challenger as an expendable item, but this is not an easy decision to make. The moment I try to answer him with something. Thats the same with me. Sungyoon Han. I know youre stronger, but I think this time is an exception. Im sorry. Chen Shaoling suddenly interrupted the conversation and continued. Even if you have the most overwhelming power among the challengers from Earth, you wont be able to produce good results if you are sealed with your fighting abilities and equipment by the dimensional cradle. For some reason, Chen Shaolings expression was full of concern. I cant ept that the one who is called the best power on the gets hurt like that. As if I was against anything that could seriously injure me. In fact, the emotions felt inside her body were real, not lies. Somehow, seeing Chen Shaoling show feelings close to faith in this side, there was something uneasy about it. I remember that I didnt have that much interaction with Chen Shaoling. It was worth it. Chen Shaoling got entangled in the incident with the Celestial Church, but there is no reason to worship him. To put it bluntly, I cannot help but feel a sense of difference because people I know like Lee Ha-yeon or Catherine Bet have feelings of admiration for me. Come to think of it, after the incident of the Celestial Church, it seems that the faith gained on Earth has increased somehow. However, the question did notst very long. Well, it must be my misunderstanding. This is not self-consciousness. It would be better to think about what is right in front of you than to think about useless things that are only spection or delusion. Only then did I shake my head once and parted my lips while looking at the imperial pce in the center of the dark world. no. Theres nothing I can do to fail. At least in this case. But Ha. Didnt you like it? Did you just say that this was all about the existence of the earth? Only then did I turn my head to a voice that came from behind one day. That said, its really good for challenger Han Seong-yoon. Michael, who had crossed the space movement passage opened by this side of the ck magic before he knew it, said with a hostile look in his eyes. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Then prove it once. How good you are that you can spit out such nonsense. Come on. And when I heard that, I said it as if I was dumbfounded with a smirk on my lips. Proof He wasnt too upset. That sounds very interesting. Just Okay. I was curious. Then, as you wish, please watch what kind of person I am. I wonder if Ill be able to keep talking like that after Ive shown real assassination here. . The skill Destruction is strongly activated. The limit on what can be destroyed disappears. . The skill Symbol of Destruction is strongly activated. Consumes a certain amount of mana to obtain destructionpensation for all types of abilities. Exclusive effect Distortion is activated. Consumes holy power to cause distortion in the specified space. When twisting beyond a certain amount urs, the designated space disappears. The next moment. Whoa deed deed deed! In the blink of an eye, space itself distorted and everything copsed. *** Cratia. Indeed, it was a world like the utopia of countless mages. Anyone can learn magic just by belonging to the Kratia Empire, and the path to sess opens up ording to the talent in the art. C All magicians in Kratia are treated fairly ording to their skills. There are words like this. okay. All magicians in Kratia are equal. And superior to anyone else. And thats not all. In fact, challengers from Kratia who were chosen by the tower gain great power by being recognized by the imperial family. Challengers from Kratia can enjoy countless riches just by being able to handle stronger magic. Thats why I was able toe this far thanks to Kratias grace. Even so, Kratia was only a ce that could be called an utopia for wizards. In fact, it could be said that most of the people suffered from Kratias meritocratic treatment. It was a world where even basic living rights were deprived just because there was no particr talent as a magician and became the property of magicians like mere ves. Sustian respected Kratia nheless. After all, Sustian was born with natural talent as a mage. If he himself had the same power as the king of a country in Kratia, there was no way he would be dissatisfied. It was even more so because all of Kratias mages boasted tremendous levels. Even if they were treated like minor dimensions in the tower, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Kratias sorcerers were unmatched in the universe. Yeah it should have been. A magician in Kratia must never be defeated by anyone. No matter what the situation, you cant control the variables. So, Sustian was convinced. At most, he would block a challenger from another world with thorough preparations like a wizard. Even since there were many challengers from Kratia, he believed that he would be able to use his strength enough to protect the Dark Emperor, whether it be barrier magic or whatever. But the moment he saw the space distorted beyond the window of the imperial pce in front of him. But that Sustians face turned white. What does that mean? Kwajijijijijik! A horrific spectacle that seems befitting the end of the world. The sky splits in half, and space is distorted between them, revealing fragments of destruction. Truly, the cmity of destruction that seemed to destroy at least one world was about to crush the imperial pce. That was thest memory Sustian kept. *** In an instant, I twisted the space in front of me with my right hand outstretched. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy Control >. . It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spirit you possess. Before you know it, the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > has been added, and the distortion of space has elerated. Its fun. And I followed that with a big twinkle in my eyes and a smile on my lips. It was quite fun when I used the exclusive effect of a native deity that I had obtained while climbing the tower. Somehow, it was not enough to activate the skills that gave corrections rted to various destructions, and even use the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > to crush the space, creating a very interesting scene. Quagga gag gag gag! The protection of the divine spirit mixed with demonic energy that had been surrounding the imperial pce had already been crushed and disappeared. And if that wasnt enough, even the barrier magic inherent in various parts of the imperial pce or the magic circle for interception were hopelessly caught up in the distortion of space. In the blink of an eye, everything in my field of vision was crushed and several pleasant system messages appeared. Its nothing else Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against the mage brought him 0.009% closer to [Transcendence]. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against the mage brought him 0.008% closer to [Transcendence]. Challenger With Han Seong-yoons victory against the magician, he was 0.007% closer to [Transcendence] . All of the challengers from other worlds within the imperial pce died en masse before he knew it. I guess I couldnt resist this sides exclusive effect Distortion . By the skill Pure Mana Punishment of Mother Nature, challenger Han Seong-yoon falls into a state of exhaustion . Challenger Han Seong-yoon fell into a state of hallucination due to the Seven Spirits of Phantom running Now that its at this point, are you going to change the way you respond? Shoot Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Suddenly, from the imperial pce, a number of mana or demonic skills or magic flooded in, but it didnt matter. The Transcendence Myth < Absolutely Unchanging > is activated. As long as there is the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >, theres no way Ill be attacked like that. I didnt mind, and I continued for another minute, elerating the distortion of space. Achievement Master of Space has been achieved. Skill Seize Space (A+) is created. and. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the Dark Emperor [Transcendence] 0.41% closer to . Absorbed the spirit of the dark emperor, Zernium. Finally. Soon, the moment when the imperial pce in the center of the dark world disappeared without leaving a speck of dust. System messages appeared in front of me, announcing that the stage of the dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > was over. Dimension Cradle < Dark World [E-01] > challenge cleared. As a reward forpleting the challenge, all stats increased by +10. As a reward forpleting the challenge, the Random item box( B+) will be sent. As a reward forpleting the challenge, Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) will be sent to your inventory. Move to the next stage. Its over. At that, I turned my head and looked at the ce where the challengers from Earth were standing. Hey And then. I think this is enough of the proof that this side insisted on doing Soon after, I walked over and talked to a ck man among the challengers from Earth. So who do you think its your turn to prove? . Michael was speechless, and before long his eyes broke out in a cold sweat. However, the answer did note back this time either. likest time Chapter 385 385. Dimensional Competition (1) Dimension Cradle < Dark World [E-01] > challenge cleared. As a reward forpleting the challenge, all stats increased by +10. As a reward forpleting the challenge A Random Item Box (B+) will be sent to your inventory. As a reward for sessfulpletion of the challenge, a Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) will be sent to your inventory. Move to the next stage. Dimensional Cradle Challenge A situation in which the task has beenpleted perfectly. If I had to argue, it would be the right situation for everyone to be happy about this. But nheless, none of the challengers from Earth standing hereughed or rejoiced. It was just like that. It was because I had personally seen how this side destroyed that imperial pce in a short period of less than ten minutes. Its as simple as a joke. It wasnt particrly difficult because it was only dealing with mortals, not ancient deities or high-level deities, but the emotions I felt on the other side were very clear. I caught the emotion I felt implicitly and smiled. I think Ive got a little bit of a sense of what level Ive reached. It was the most primal feeling of fear that the weak have in front of the strong. Really It was absurd. In fact, Im the strongest on the, but Im going to have a good time with a subject that Ive been able to find out that Im going to have a good time. Isnt it the reaction that I didnt know that this side would be this strong. Suddenly, the eyes of the challengers from Earth were filled with awe, and a kind of faith-like emotion flowed out. So And then. This should have been enough for the proof I had to do. It was no different for Michael standing in front of him. Do you still think I have more to prove? That You can just say itfortably. Its not like that Its just that Michaels feelings were more like pure fear than awe or worship. If thats the case, Im d. I parted my lips with a twisted smile. If I said that my proof was not enough, I think I would have known how good you were. Hearing this, Michael stunned and shook his chin, then spoke quietly. Im sorry. So far, it seems that I have caused a lot of disrespect to challenger Sungyoon Han. I will take responsibility for this and step down from the position of leader Perhaps, feeling the burden of provoking this side, he seems to be ready to step back now Are we going to end it with that? Im sorry. So far, youve been spouting openly demeaning remarks, and now youre afraid to throw yourself out? If I hadnt known that the ck man in front of me was a challenger from Earth, I would have torn him to death long ago. It seems too cheap for the price of proving your strength as you wished. Kuk. If so, how can I be satisfied? Its simple. That means one thing. pensation. yes? I said I wanted to bepensated. Just like that, I held out my empty hand to Michael and smiled greedily. With everything you have. Bondi damagepensation is aw that must be received and passed on. *** Looking at the numerous items piled up in front of my eyes, I put a smile on my face. okay. This should be a decent reward. Not to mention cancer. It was worth it. It was because he had finished checking the performance of the items donated (?) from Michael under the name ofpensation for damage before he knew it. And at the end, I was able to find out that Michael had donated high-grade equipment that could not be ignored one by one. The lowest grade is only items that start with B grade, so it will be highly efficient no matter where you use it. Satisfied. Whether those equipments are used directly or converted into divine power through the seal of offering, they will show quite high efficiency. If so, isnt it worth being satisfied with? And Actually, theres no real reward. Thats not the end. Skill proficiency increase potion Grade: B+ Special potion specially prepared by the tower for beings with skills. When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 30%. Virtually real The gain should be this way. If Ibine the skill proficiency potion I obtained, I can increase the proficiency of any one skill by 60%. It was worth it. The skill proficiency increase potion that can be obtained from the Tower of Trials has the same value as a thousand gold for a challenger. No matter what skill it is, being able to raise the proficiency at a fixed value is still attractive even after bing an ancient deity. Its a huge benefit to get another skill proficiency potion. He took great delight in the unexpected gain. And thats not all. There are still rewards left. Random Item Box Grade: B+ A special box where you can randomly draw an item. When you open the box, you get at least one item from D+ ss to A+ ss at random. Not so great Not a worthy item. This random item box (B+) in front of you literally depends on the element of luck to obtain an item. But its just not worth calling it great under the premise that you cant control luck to the end. This also changes ording to controlled luck. The authority Blessing of the Hero is strongly activated. Fortune temporarily and intensely increases. Right away Divine < Luck > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used. Divine < Luck > Luck is added to some of these situations to adjust them in a beneficial direction. Divine < Luck > greatly enhances challenger Han Seong-yoons all luck-rted abilities. Just like now. Pababang-! Congrattions! You have selected items that correspond to the highest grade of the random item box! The moment you use the Random Item Box (B+). As it was, a splendid effect exploded and the highest grade item was obtained. Seeing that, I casually checked two A+ grade items that looked like a sword and a shield. Well, apart from the fact that A+ grade items came out, its not particrly usable. and. The seal of offering (SS-) exclusive effect, Offering(B) is activated. Received 11 items from yourself. Reces the corresponding items with divine power and umtes them in the heart. I dedicated the useless equipment, including the two A+ items I just obtained, to divine power all at once. Besides that, everything else is a one-time item like an elixir, so Ill just have to eat it. I finished disposing of most of the numerous items before I knew it. Only then did I consume the Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) in my hand. Then, familiar system messages appeared in front of me, and a list of skills appeared. I took a skill proficiency up potion (B+). Select a skill to increase your proficiency. I was worried. A state in which most of my skills have reached a high level. Because of that, it was certain that they would show tremendous growth if they could apply two Skill Proficiency Up Potions (B+). I dont really want to invest in offensive skills or auxiliary skills. In response, I thought while sitting on a rock and touching my chin. However, unlikest time, there was a need to bnce between skills now. Rather than just investing everything you have in pure attack skills, it would be better to have some defensive abilities as well. Then is the answer decided? next moment. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons skill, Shock Block (S+) skill proficiency increases by 60%. Raised the skill proficiency of Shock Block, the most versatile skill among the defense system skills that this side possesses. The proficiency of the skill Shock Protection (S+) has reached 100%. The level of the skill Shock Protection (S+) has gone up by one level. Now, the level of the skill Shock Block has reached SS-level. Considering that the skill Shock Block can be activated even with divinity-rted abilities, this was one of the most useful abilities in the defense system. Considering that it blocked 30% of all types of shock even when the level of the skill Shock Block was A-, it was certain that more defense would be possible now. Satisfied with that, I raised my head after finishing organizing thepensation. The challengers from Earth, who had been scattered all over the dark world, gathered in one ce. Originally, the 10 people who entered the advance party in the dimensional cradle and only me were here, but not anymore. While we were sorting out the rewards this side had obtained, people with space abilities gathered challengers from Earth from all over the world. All the challengers from Earth had arrived here, including Lee Ha-yeon and others. It looks like everyone who needs toe has arrived, so lets move on. Only then did I move on, standing in front of the gray portal that allowed me to move on to the next stage. Lets move on to the next stage. Now was the moment to focus on clearing the full-fledged dimensional cradle. *** You have entered the Dimensional Cradle < The Temple of Sealing [E-02] > A challenge for the Dimensional Cradle < The Temple of Sealing [E-02] > has urred. Challenge Description: Dimensional Cradle < Activate the tombstones in the Temple of Seal [E-02] > correctly to defeat the ancient monster that will appear in 3 minutes. Characteristics of Challenge: Monument in the single-dimensional cradle < Temple of Seal [E-02] > If you dont activate them properly, the ancient monster bes stronger. Challenge Sess Condition: Defeat the Ancient Monster (0/1) Challenge Sess Reward: All stats +10 Random Skill Book (B+) ) Dimensional Travel Stone (A+) In an instant, I crossed the gray portal and arrived at the ce beyond it. It looks like a huge temple that seals a certain evil being. Did you say it was an ancient monster? Looking at the blood sprinkled everywhere, the seven tombstones inserted in the center of the temple, or the sphere of bloody muscle above it, I could roughly guess it. Its about fighting an ancient monster that appears after a certain amount of time. Probably like a puzzle game, you have to ce the tombstones correctly to weaken the ancient monster that will appear in 3 minutes Ugh. Its disgusting. Could it be that an ancient monster appears from there? hmm. Probably. However, there is some time before fighting the ancient monster. Its obvious. Before the ancient monster appears, you must weaken it by matching the tombstones like a puzzle. Surely. You dont have to. Isnt this the viin in the cartoon who has to wait for the opponents transformation time? If so, getting rid of them before transformation without wasting time is also one correct answer. Then lets get the tombstones in the correct arrangement I interrupted him by approaching the bloody muscle sphere above the center of the temple. No. You dont have to. Everyone, get away from me for a while. and. That should be enough. next moment. At least to beat the challenges of this stage. As it was, I firmly clenched my right hand and then unleashed a strike with nearly full strength. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, the sound of ripping air rang out. However, the shotgun fired by this side reached the bloody muscle sphere faster than the sound. And as a result of that, the sphere made of bloody muscles waspletely smashed. Beep-! That too perfectly. Dimension Cradle < The Temple of Seal [E-02] > challenge cleared. As a reward forpleting the challenge, all stats increased by +10. As a reward forpleting the challenge A Random Skill Book (B+) will be sent to your inventory. As a reward forpleting the challenge, a Dimensional Travel Stone (A+) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the next stage. After roughly wiping off some of the sttered blood, he turned his head and said. If you do this without waiting, you can finish the challenge right away. By the way is everyone unfamiliar with this very efficient strategy like I showed you? All of a sudden, the faces of the challengers from Earth changed to look like most of them were stunned. Then lets go now. To the next stage. That way it wont be a waste of time. . As if he had never seen such a nonsensical thing in his life. Chapter 386 386. Dimension Competition (2) Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the challenges of many stages ended as soon as they started. As for a game, should I say its like attacking with some kind of cheat key? Nothing was really different. You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Hell Citadel [E-03] >. As a reward forpleting the challenge, all stats have increased by +10. Random Skill Book (B+) will be sent to your inventory as a reward forpleting the challenge. Pure Magic Fragment (B+) will be sent to your inventory as a reward forpleting the challenge. Go to the next stage. The dimension cradle < Hell Citadel [E-03] >, which should have been a difficult dungeon attack, was annihted without a trace by the ck starlight containing the divine < Death >. You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Twisted World [E-04] >. As a reward forpleting the challenge, all stats have increased by +10. Piece of Destruction (C-) will be sent to your inventory as a reward forpleting the challenge. Twisted Jewel (C-) will be sent to your inventory as a reward forpleting the challenge. Go to the next stage. The dimensional cradle < Twisted World [E-03] >, where all living things in the world itself must be exterminated, came to an insignificant end just by walking around with the mythical < Incarnation of the End > on. You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Grave of the Seven Sages [E-05] >. As a reward forpleting the challenge, all stats have increased by +10. Sages Staff (B+) will be sent to your inventory as a reward forpleting the challenge. Sorcerers Stone (B+) will be sent to your inventory as a reward forpleting the challenge. Go to the next stage. Somehow, the dimensional cradle < Grave of the Seven Sages [E-05] >, which had quiz-type challenges, was forced to end with the stage itself copsing without solving a quiz. It was a perfect attack with only one overwhelming force. And thats not all. You have cleared the challenge of Dimensional Cradle < Three Symbols [E-06] >. You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Space-Time Distortion World [E-07] > You have cleared the challenges of the Dimensional Cradle < Andras'' Treasure House [E-08] > Numerous stage challenges in the dimensional cradle end in vain. Stages are forcibly attacked by the power of only one person. Chen Shaolingughed inwardly when he saw that. What. It was worth it. Bondi, she once witnessed Han Seong-yoons power on Earth. She was able to see Han Seong-yoon because of her affair with the Celestial Church. And thats not all of her, she followed Lee Ha-yeons suggestion and even worshiped Han Seong-yoon to some extent, so she believed in Han Seong-yoons strength. What the hell is this however. Is this really something a single challenger can aplish? Even so, the strength of Han Seong-yoon that Chen Shaoling knew was not that strong. In fact, the power of Han Seong-yoon that Chen Shaoling saw on Earth was at the same level as the worlds strongest. It should have been said that it was not at a level where the world itself could be destroyed or the stage prepared by the tower controlled by a certain system could be forcibly destroyed. Is that really a person? But A lot has changed this time. Han Seong-yoon destroyed even the world itself casually and drove everything to destruction. It was as if they hadnt really fought sincerely until now. Looking at Han Seong-yoons motionless back, her body trembled. It was the thrill of an overwhelming force. Chen Shaoling no longer thought of Han Sungyoon as the worlds strongest or the earths strongest. That would be too monster. Because that man in front of me might be the strongest in the universe. Chen Shaoling no longer put Han Seongyun in the human category. She just quietly epted that Han Seong-yoon was a god-like being. That means one thing. He is perfectly followed by the strongest people at the top of the earth level. Faith harvest efficiency greatly increases. Not different A certain amount of faith has been harvested at the Earth level, and you have been qualified to be a god of Earth. When the qualifications to be the god of Earth are more perfectly met than now, you will acquire the Divine < Earth >. earth. Originally, a world where no one had an owner Now it was about to meet the moment when it fell into the hands of an ancient deity. *** Before I knew it, I saw the system messages appearing in my field of view while feeding blood to the blood demon sword inside a bloody citadel. You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Bloody Festival [E-09] >. As a reward forpleting the challenge, all stats have increased by +10. As a reward forpleting the challenge, Vampire Lords Robe (SS+) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the next stage. have alreadye here After clearing the challenge of the ninth stage in an instant, I felt proud. But even that didntst long. For some reason, this time the portal to the next stage didnt appear, even though I cleared the challenges given in the Cradle of Dimensions stage. < 23:59:59 > left before moving to the next stage. Until then, prepare for the challenges of the next stage. Prepare At that, I clicked my tongue and frowned. Doesnt this mean that I cant do anything until I go to the next stage? It was natural. At least that means I have nothing to do for the day. It made me feel bad because it meant that rapid progress was no longer possible within the dimensional cradle. uh? But that is only for a moment. He is perfectly followed by the strongest people at the top of the earth level. Faith harvest efficiency greatly increases. next moment. A certain amount of faith has been harvested at the Earth level, and you have been qualified to be a god of Earth. When the qualifications to be the god of Earth are more perfectly met than now, you will acquire the Divine < Earth >. I opened my eyes wide at the newly appeared system message. What is this again? It was worth it. To be qualified to be the god of Earth Doesnt this look like a very sudden change? In fact, all I did was break through the stages of the Dimensional Cradle, so it was all the more so. Suddenly, system messages appeared, and I even felt a sense of difference as I wondered if I could get the divine < Earth > if I met more qualifications to be the god of the earth. but for a while. ah. Before I knew it, I was able to notice why those system messages appeared before my eyes. - You are perfectly followed by the strongest people in the top ranks in the earth dimension. For some reason, I think I now understand why Im getting closer to acquiring the divine < Earth >. It was. From this sides point of view, they may have simply attacked the stages of the Dimension Cradle, but the challengers from Earth here will not. He probably had feelings close to worship as he watched me attack the stages in the dimensional cradle It is truly an unexpected harvest. Is this perfect worship? Only then did I feel the faith welling up in my body. however. Rather than genuinely admiring the faith that swells in my body, I was lost in thought. The system message said that the efficiency of faith increased because challengers from Earth worshiped this side perfectly. Is it worship? Then, what are the conditions for worship? After thinking about it for a while, the result that came out was really simple. Worship is faith, and faith is faith in me. Belief in this sides power also falls under the category of faith. Its just that the perfect worship that the system message says requires more faith than you can imagine. Now I understand. At that, I raised my head and nced away to see the challengers from Earth each taking a break. In fact, they didnt do anything because I forcibly cleared all the challenges in the Dimensional Cradle, but they were all very tired from being exposed to some of the remnants of this sides revealed power. Looking at it, I drew a confident look. The divine < Earth > can only be obtained when the people on Earth worship me perfectly. Should I call this enlightenment? I just realized a very simple reason btedly. The fact that if this side wants to acquire the divine < Earth >, it must be perfectly worshiped by the people on Earth. Of course, I have no intention of forcing worship on Earth. Its not in my nature to ask the Earth to worship me like a threat. At most, it was all the more so because I hadnt been in the ranks of the ancient gods for a long time. Persecuting mortals like the gods Ive seen while climbing the tower is not what I want. Even if the mind is contaminated to some extent due to the concept divinity, I know that it is not normal to want it. What should I do with this? But Acquisition of the divine < Earth > itself was something that appealed to him, so he was greedy. To put it bluntly, the divine < Earth > is a divinity that this side has rarely acquired. Its the right choice to acquire the divine < Earth >, but I cant harm others with it. Then what is the answer? Theres no way at all. It was simple. Just as I won the worship of the challengers from Earth based on my overwhelming strength, I should do the same for the people of Earth. Only overwhelming force can solve everything. It was like an immutable truth that could be used in any situation. After all, isnt this side already feeling the need to exercise their skills on Earth? Should I reveal the power of an ancient deity? There were even opponents to show their strength. Haha, as long as the god of despair, fall, and madness survives, he will continue to invade Earth. God of despair, fall and madness. The monster, the most heterogeneous of the ancient deities, covets my power and has its eyes on the earth. Considering that, there will be a battle with that ancient deity at some point in the not-too-distant future. If thats the case, its no different than a matter that has already been decided for me to show off the power of the ancient deity on Earth. Is the timing set to reveal the power of the ancient deity? I had a smile on my lips and a twinkle in my eyes. Its something Im really looking forward to. Somehow, now Im starting to look forward to the showdown with the Ancient Godhead. *** Before I knew it, I opened my inventory, feeling my heart pounding pleasantly with anticipation. Its also a habit to check if youve got a reward Even if that wasnt the case, there was a waiting time before entering the next stage of the Dimensional Cradle, so there was nothing to do. It would be better to do what I have to do when I have plenty of time. This time, I felt the need to sort things out because I got quite a lot of rewards by clearing the stages of the cradle of dimensions. There wasnt anything too difficult about it. Its just annoying to determine which of the rewards in the inventory are useful. And after examining the rewards in the inventory in detail, I soon found that only a couple of items were useful. Dimensional Travel Stone Rating: A+ A special jewel that can travel to another dimension made in the tower. It bes possible to select a certain dimension and move there without any penalty. However, after activating the exclusive effect of the item, a cooldown of 10 years urs. Originally, I was wondering how the challenger from the other world did what to get to the Earth, which is protected by the tower, without penalty Should I call this a prediction hit? It looks like a challenger from another world came to Earth without penalty using the purple jewel in front of him. This means that at least there will be 30 challengers in each world who can use this Its not just winning the Dimensional Cradle event, its a stage attack to get something like this. Really At that, I quietly clenched my fists and smiled lightly. Perhaps the Tower hopes to increase hostile battles through the Dimension Cradle event Isnt that what happens when the events of the dimension cradle are in general? Its fun. As long as this side is guarding, the earth is not in danger. In a nutshell, this means that I can go to a ce like Moorim, too, doesnt it? Not even that. I definitely got something good. Since I originally intended to go to Murim, the Dimensional Travel Stone (A+) will be of great help to our n. As it was, I roughly put the Dimensional Travel Stone (A+) in my inventory and then looked at the other newly acquired equipment. Not different Vampire Lords Vestments Rating: SS+ Magic cirction +100% Movement speed +30% Divine resistance +30% Magic Resistance +30% It is one of the special ceremonial clothes passed down from ancient times that only the vampire lord can wear. When equipped, the exclusive effect transformation can be activated. The user can change the clothes as desired, and the clothes themselves have self-consciousness, so they assist and follow the will of the owner. When worn, the exclusive effect Blood Spirit Protection can be activated. As the user desires, it consumes the blood in the body to form the highest level of protection to block external attacks. Awesome. This ck suit-like Vampire Lords Robe (SS+) in front of him was a reward beyond imagination. Indeed, each exclusive effect is at an amazing level. The level of performance waspletely different from the Vampire Counts Tailcoat (A-), which can create a protective shield with blood ording to the will of this side. no. If this is the case, should I say its a higherpatibility with the Vampire Counts tailcoat (A-) I use? In fact, even if you look at the exclusive effect Blood Spirit Protection in Vampire Lords Robe (SS+), the shield itself is better. Then theres no need to wear the Vampire Counts tailcoat anymore. In response, I immediately changed into the Vampire Lords robe, followed by the Vampire Counts tailcoat and other equipment remaining in the inventory with a handful of stats. The skill Steel Feed is activated. Knick-knack-. Complete absorption. Muscle strength increases by 1. Your physical strength increases by 2. Durability increases by 1. Magic power increases by 2. Of course, not all stat increases are so great. In fact, I already have a chance to fight a high-ranking deity with just my physical ability. And that wasnt enough, after clearing the stages in the Dimension Cradle nine times, all stats increased by +90, so the increase in stats had to be even smaller. Even if I try to eat high-grade items with steel eating, my growth wont be that great anymore. Its been a while since I felt a little regret about it. Time is over. Its time to move on to the next stage. The next stage will be a multi-dimensionalpetition. Prepare for arge-scale battle. Now it was time to go see the end of the dimensional cradle. Chapter 387 387. Dimension Competition (3) The system message that appeared in front of me announced the end of the break. Time is up. It is time to move on to the next stage. The next stage will be apetition between multiple dimensions. Prepare for arge-scale battle. made bypetition. Of course, its not worlds where names like Ares or Murim are widely known, but Still, they have fought against challengers from the other world who have enough careers to climb the tower in their own way. If so, something is different this time. He narrowed his eyes and lost his thoughts. In a word, it must mean that I will be fighting with numerous challengers from the other world. If I had to ask, would it be a kind of death match? It means that we have to fight arge-scale battle not against challengers from one world, but against numerous challengers from another world. But I didnt feel pressured by it. After all, even before bing an ancient deity, didnt this side have the bestpatibility in arge-scale melee? Even if it was a melee with challengers without a single unique divinity, there would be no tension. Anyway. Not even that. Based on the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >, all abilities are fully preserved. In fact, there was no way to change the game unless an ancient deity or a higher deity appeared on the other side. I dont know if a challenger like the emperor appears, but its worth fighting for. Of course, I was looking forward to the confrontation with the Moorim people, who were called Pacheonhwang. No matter what, he was the person who was said to be the closest to the strongest in Moorim, and he was feared by many challengers. But, in other words, if it wasnt for a challenger like Pa-Tenwang, it wouldnt be worth dealing with on this side. Come to think of it, didnt I say that even the Emperor of Heaven wouldnte out of the cradle? Is that why? Perhaps if Im lucky, Ill be able to meet the Emperor Pa here. I stood there with no particr expectations or thoughts. You enter the next stage immediately after 10 seconds. You enter the next stage immediately after 7 seconds You enter the next stage immediately after 4 seconds . You have entered the Dimensional Cradle < Ind of Selection and Wealth [A-?] >. The moment the countdown foreshadowing that we will move on to the next stage ispletely over. Dimensional Cradle < Ind of Selection and Flotation [A-?] > challenge has urred. Challenge Description: Challengers from Earth work together to obtain 10 or more Tokens of Selection, then Affluence Enter the Ind and steal the Void Stone. Characteristics of Challenge: This is the final stage. For every 10 challengers from other worlds you kill, you will receive a Seal of Selection. Challenge Sess Condition: Completely dominate the Void Stone (0/1) Challenge Sess Reward: Dimension-exclusive barrier (EX) Skill proficiency increase potion (A+) Selection and richness bracelet (A+) The final stage? And thats not the end. The system message that appeared in the field of vision announced that this was the final stage of the dimensional cradle. Maybe if I dont win in thisst stage, I might face the worst result Only then did I notice a certain fact. Then doesnt that mean that all challengers from other worlds will also gather here? The fact that this is not a stage that I can pass as easily as I thought. And then. Conditions satisfied. All official climbing dimensions that have been recognized in the Tower of Trials have reached the final stage. Depending on the percentage, it gives the owner tremendous power. That means one thing. The challenge ends when the control rate of the Void Stone on the Floating Ind reaches 100%. The Void Stone in the dimension cradle < Ind of Selection and Wealth [A-?] > is upied by the challenger, Fa- Emperor. In fact, a challenger who is treated as the strongest among the people from Moorim. Thats how he gained immense power in thisst stage and became a sort of final boss. The Tower of Trials is supplying power to the challenger, the Wave Emperor, ording to the void stone control rate. *** Before I knew it, I clenched my fists as I read the system messages. It was the worst. Bondi, this was supposed to be a situation where there was an overwhelming massacre on this side. However, if the Tower of Trials was directly supplying power, many things had to change. To think that the tower directly intervened and gave strength, as in the battlefield of the gods It was understandable. Because the Tower of Trials is a structure with transcendent power equal to or even greater than that of an ancient deity. Didnt you see that one of the top deities who gained the power given by the tower in the Battlefield of the Gods gained power close to that of an ancient deity? If so, this can no longer be a one-sided massacre. shit. This also had no choice but to assume the worst case. DWhat is this? And did Dam Chun-wu realize that as well? DTo think that the Tower of Trials was directly supplying strength to the challenger Before he knew it, Damcheonwu expressed his anger by trembling with the de of the Blood Demon Sword. DIsnt this a real foul!! It was very, very different from before, when there was not a single word to be said. DIn fact, this trick is openly targeting you, isnt it? As it was, Damcheonwu continued to use the Bloodcheon Demon Sword, trembling. DOnly in the Battlefield of the Gods was it possible to understand that it was the towersboratory, but where was there a corner that could be understood? As if Damcheonwusmon sense couldnt tolerate it at all. DThis is apetition between challengers! Its a decisive battle for each others world! By the way, did you harm the fairness of the duel? How dare you say what kind of depravity is this! Was it because he himself was originally a challenger from Moorim? For some reason, Dam Chun-wu seemed more angry than this. Well, since he is a challenger from Moorim who even tends to worship dueling, there must be something like that. Feeling that my anger was gradually cooling down, I put my hand on the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and then spoke with a cold sneer on my lips. It doesnt matter. Its nothing else Anyway, now the tower is used to making a fuss. Seeing how the Tower of Trials did tricks over and over again, he had gotten used to it to some extent. It would be more efficient to think of something else now than to get angry for no reason. Before I knew it, I opened my eyes with a mix of anger and anticipation. Its like how this side can get at least one more thing from the tower. -w. okay. That would be a better fit for you. Im just worried about your henchmen. A pawn? DThe challengers from Earth led by you. It was absurd. Seeing the challengers from Earth and calling them my henchmen? Regarding that, I stared nkly at the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, then sighed and replied. that is also true. There is a need to protect challengers from Earth. And he said it as if he liked it. -okay. So youd better hurry up and take care of the henchmen following you around. That way you wont have to worry about them any more. Do you understand The expression method is a bit rough but if you insist on it, you can say that there is no wrong word at all. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that challengers from Earth are of a much lower level than those of other dimensions. It could be dangerous if you meet challengers from Ares or Murim, such as sword masters or super-experts. Even if the challengers from Earth knew how to use the skills or powers obtained from the tower better, that fact did not change. It cant be helped. In response, I made a n while looking at the challengers from Earth whispering in the background. I have no choice but to remove all elements that could threaten the challengers from Earth. and. I have something to tell you, could you pleasee over here for a moment? As it was, I called Lee Ha-yeon and Catherine Be, who were close to me, and told me about it. He preached that it was effective to be in a safe ce as much as possible until this side eliminated all the challengers from the other world. Just by doing so, it will help you beat the challenge I gave you in this final stage. Hearing that, Lee Ha-yeon and Catherine Bet each nodded in agreement. Mr. I was going to tell you about that part even if it wasnt, but Im d I did. I was relieved. As you said, we will put safety first. what. I thought you would. I will persuade the remaining challengers, so lets go. Dont get hurt that badly. and. Then lets go now. After leaving the two to persuade the remaining challengers. As it was, I stepped on the air and flew up, extending my senses while activating the authority Steel Wings. In order to find and kill all the strong enemies somewhere in the dimensional cradle < Ind of Selection and Wealth [A-?] >. Is there a thin dome-like protective shield spread in the center of the ind? As a result, I flew through the sky andpletely grasped the structure of the ind. The final stage could be described as a kind of donut-shaped ind. If I had to argue, I would have to say that the middle of the ind is open. Is this the ce where Emperor Pa is located? And in the middle of that donut-like ind was a floating ind. Its just that I havent satisfied the entry conditions yet. Maybe thats the floating ind where the void stone referred to in the system message is located. After figuring out where the challengers from the other world were, I smiled bloodily. There is no need to wait. not different. If all I have to do is kill 100 challengers from another world, it will be fine. Isnt it one of the most ideal ways for the avant-garde to protect his teammates from the enemy in front of him? In the first ce, the enemy is to kill all the enemies in the front before the teammates even face the enemy. That was the most efficient way to protect your teammates. Then there will be no need to protect the challengers from Earth anymore And The god of transcendence and death sentences you to death. [Lets end the tag game right away. ] next moment. The Authority skill Starlight is activated, and starlight containing divine < death > is created . In the blink of an eye, ck starlight swept all over the ind and said the end. *** Indeed, the fight itself went as expected. Challenger Seongyoon Han won against multiple challengers, bringing her 0.61% closer to [Transcendence] Absorbed the spirit of challenger Katram Absorbed the spirit of challenger Gigirik Absorbed the spirit of challenger Irak No. Is it really necessary to call this a fight? Before I knew it, I was searching for and killing challengers from other worlds one by one who had not been killed by the divine starlight. Its annoying that there are guys who have the ability to protect against divinity or have the kind of skills to withstand it. But even that didntst long. Im sorry-! Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah The level of ancient divinity that this side has reached was not obtained by gambling. As it was, I continued my high-speed flight and cut off the breath of the challengers who were prolonging their lives in various parts of the ind. It wasnt that hard. Anyway, among the challengers here, only the sword masters of the Ares dimension or the masters of the Murim dimension were the only ones who were strong. Just Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You monster child! The Empires 91st Sword Master, Karmian von Yuus, will deal with you!! Kuck-!? Ph-p-p time! As long as hes a human, hell be tired! Dont give him a chance to recover and let him use all his abilities! It was literally just a one-sided massacre. Somehow, there were some challengers from the other world who hoped that they would get tired of seeing me, but they realized it sooner orter. The fact that this one doesnt get tired. And even that is not enough, I can overwhelm them with pure physical ability alone without showing the cards in my hand. Kill 10 challengers from another world to obtain 1 Mark of Selection. Kill 10 challengers from another world to obtain 1 Mark of Selection Kill 10 challengers and get 1 mark of selection How much time has passed since then. You killed more than 100 challengers from other worlds and collected a total of 10 Tokens of Selection. It is now possible to enter the Floating Ind. Seeing the system message appearing in front of my eyes, I muttered that, brushing the blood off my sword and kicking the ground. fault-! And Is this the main topic now? As it was, Inded in front of the entrance to the floating ind in the center of the ind and walked beyond it. . Is it because the contents of the entrance condition in the final stage were met? The shield built by the Tower of Trials was easily passable without getting in the way. And in silence, I continued to observe a little about this ce named Floating Ind. Its light. Everything in front of me was floating. As if gravity itself was acting weakly on this floating ind. Its just that the weakened gravity doesnt apply to people, so there was no particr inspiration from this sides point of view. It is obvious that even the weakening gravity would have been erased with the transcendental myth < Absolutely Unchanging > anyway, so there is no need to attach meaning to it. By the way, where is Emperor Pa But thats for a while. !Suddenly, a tremendous shock resonated from the upper part of the floating ind, followed by a system message. Chak-. But it wasnt just the system message that appeared in front of me. As I was looking up at the upper floors of the floating ind, a man with a rxed look appeared there. The god of emptiness looks at your eyes with interest. [You] And then. [I can tell at a nce. ] Theid-back man wore a ck uniform and had his hair tied back. Just like most of the challengers from Moorim do. That means one thing. [That level of power, that level of power. Notmon. Its even lessmon among challengers whoe here. ] Its nothing else. [Youre the hunter, right?] That man was the emperor. Chapter 388 388. Dimensionalpetition (4) In an instant, each others gazes crossed. The rxed man in front of me was proud of his infinitely high rank. Its a level thats getting closer to the end of the upper deity As if the power received from the tower raised the level of the divinity itself. At that, I frowned and looked at the man who was presumed to be the emperor. Compared to this side, he was still at a higher level of godhood, so he was staying at a level that he could deal with. I guess the best thing to do is to kill him before hepletes a level that can evenpete with an ancient deity. I had to try. Even if it is being supplied with power by the tower, isnt that just a challenger over there? However, on the other hand, this side became an ancient deity even though it did not receive that much direct power from the tower, and even had the possibility to surpass the ancient deity. Just by winning this battle, based on the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, you should be able to reach the level of ordinary ancient gods. As I prepared for a fight, I red at the emperor with the blood demon sword and the sword sword in both hands. But is that annoying? The Void God looks at you as if hes disappointed. [Hmm. Truly a sleepy sleeper. Already ready to fight like a frightened dog? What a disappointment. ] Before he knew it, Emperor Pa looked down, stroked his chin, and then spoke as ifmenting. [Well, hes a savage guy who doesnt know anything about martial arts, so Ill make sure the principal understands about this. doze off ] And I nodded and made a sneering sneer. Are you trying to publicize that you are a challenger from Moorim? There is no luck at all from the way of speaking. At this point, I dont feel the value of having more conversations about the challengers from Moorim. But apart from that, I answered the other side with a slight smirk. That is a great understanding. And But do you know that? next moment. you. As it was, I expressed the divinity inside my body to the outside like an active volcano and smiled coldly. Even if you do it that way, dying to me wont change anything. Hard! A truly overwhelming force oscites outward. All of a sudden, floating rocks or streams of water flowing in the air all over the ind became unstable and sshed in all directions. As if I couldnt stand the divinity and spirit that I exude. All sorts of physical phenomena are now happening just by expressing what I feel bad about. Seeing this, the emperor eximed in exmation as if surprised. [ haha! Do you have enough spirit to dare to discuss my death? great! great! It makes me want to pluck out my eyes with my own hands! ] But [But unfortunately. ] For some reason, Emperor Pa shrugged as if he had no intention of fighting this side, and then spat out words. [Because I thought of you as a talented person who would be too wasteful to tear you to death with my own hands. ] That was also a very absurd statement. What. Are you talented? What kind of talent did you think this was for that Moorim-born challenger? Before this side had time to be curious about it, Emperor Wave stood on top of the floating rock and held out a hand full of goodwill towards it. [ Hunter. ] And. [Help me climb the tower. ] I listened to it quietly without any action for a while. [Therefore, join the principals will and help fulfill the principals grand wish at the top of that tower. ] At this point, I wonder how far that bullshit goes. [This is an order, not a suggestion, so know that this is a genius opportunity that I personally bestow upon you, a sleepy bastard. ] But even that did notst long. Well, since earlier, I kept saying it was difficult, so I was wondering what you wanted from me, but its not particrly difficult. It was simple. You mean you want me to die right now? It seems to mean that the emperor in front of me is a suicide attempter. If thats the case, its enough to do what you want. Thats probably the case too The god of transcendence and deathughs at the higher godhead and expresses his murderous intent. ] If I had to question it, this one is well versed in dealing with people who would like tomit suicide. *** The passage of time seemed to be swallowed up in stillness. Of course. Hearing what the other side said, Emperor Pa made apletely expressionless face, and I stood there anyway, unconcerned. Should I say its the tension before the storm, as if theyre going to fight each other right away? But I didnt have much regret. Dont you know that you cant have a normal conversation with challengers from Moorim anyway, based on numerous experiences? Theres no need to talk more and find out the room forpromise. Not even that. Well, even if its not that, I covet the power that other side has. I was curious. In fact, what is the power of Pacheonhwang, a challenger who is treated as the strongest among the Moorim people? And at the end, the anticipation was rising as to what kind of unique skill or conceptual divinity I would extract from the spirit of the emperor. Its something Im really looking forward to. and. [ okay. Rejection Its a choice like a doze. stupidly. ] Does that mean that the other side is also different? [Well, to be honest, I dont think I was hoping for this to happen. ] Before he knew it, Emperor Pa withdrew his outstretched hand and said that, then smiled one after another. [Dont you think you have too much power in a trash subject that is only chosen by a tower? ] As if it should have been like this without the need to persuade from the beginning. The god of emptiness reveals his hostility towards you and expresses his divinity. ] And. no. next moment. The divine power exclusive power List is activated. You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m . Anyone who continues to fight for over 44 minutes while being listed in the Shinigami list will be eroded by divine < death >. [You are the one who will face that end. ] As it is, I activated the roster, an authority exclusive to the godhead that I had acquired as the god of death, and started the countdown to death. Of course, this doesnt necessarily guarantee victory, but Even so, if you can hit the Divine < Death > on the Emperor with the power of a god exclusive, the fight will be greatly easier. The skill Combat eleration is activated. The skill Shock Block is activated The skill Instantaneous eleration is active ] Lets see. It was the moment I was about to spur my feet while activating various strengthening skills. Kwajiik-! Suddenly, something like a beam of light passed through my vision, and then it almost hit my whole body. As if they wouldnt even allow any response from this side. It wasnt until I got hit by one of the floating rocks all over the floating ind that the series of attacks stopped. At that, I had to panic and spit out blood from my mouth. What. An invisible attack? It was obviously strange that this side couldnt detect the opponents attack when it wasnt even an advanced application technique that utilized divine power at a high level, such as mind sword or attack fist. no. And that wasnt all. Doesnt this side have the ability to see and avoid it, even if its a mind sword or an attack fist? If so, this wasnt a series attack using divinity. Ill be thrilled. That means one thing. Its just that Im overwhelmed in terms of purely physical ability? The physical ability of that man in front of me was superior to the level of this persons physical ability. [Hahaha! Indeed, he is such a sleepy fellow! Depending on things like divinity or skills obtained from being chosen by the tower, isnt that what it looks like? Foolishly! ] And was the guess really not that different? Before he knew it, Emperor Pa was sending mocking eyes with a hollow smile on the upper level of the floating ind. Hearing those words, I got up from my seat after removing the damage from my body with the power skill Gray Blood. well. Wasnt it you who was chosen by TOP, not me? If that level of divinity is granted to you, that is. But [ Ha. ] Emperor Pa let out a coldugh as if he couldnt agree with that statement. [Are you trying topare me to a lucky cheater who was only chosen by Top? ] And. [If so, let me know. ] Finally, Emperor Paens hands made different movements and became three or four beams of light. [The difference between you and me. ] In an instant, the Emperors punches poured down like a storm, drawing three or four afterimages. Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +1000. Special buff < Best Match > is activated. All stats increase by 10% only when facing the challenger Fa-Emperor. I will rise. I immediately activated the Shinhwa < Reversal Hero > and continued the correct response. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. And. The skill concentration in battle is activated. The users concentration increases tenfold. Before I knew it, Iughed out loud, feeling as if my physical abilities had be dozens of times stronger. What I was astonished. I could still see all the movements of the Emperor Pa, infinitely fast. At least if he had used the mythical < Reversal Hero > and the exclusive spell < Contempt for the Strong >, he shouldnt have been pushed back even if he faced the other side, but that wasnt the case. What is this again? but for a while. Kwakjijijijijik! In the blink of an eye, I saw the wave of the emperors punch fired, and I gently shed the power with my twin swords. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Just by shedding that overwhelming power, the floating ind cant stand the remnants of power and crumbles. Seeing that, Iughed again as Inded on one of the floating rocks. Its really ridiculous. At this point, it was no longer a coincidence. you. It was only then that I red at Emperor Pa as if I had realized something and said with a smirk. Isnt that a unique characteristic? It was worth it. All of a sudden, the divine power flowing from the emperors body had weakened. And thats not the end. Originally, the concept divinity of the Pa-Emperor, which had reached the end of the upper deity, was losing its light. It was like that every time Pacheonhwangs physical ability got stronger. I never thought Id devote all of my divine power and status as a high-ranking deity to physical abilities and things like that. After I said that to him, Emperor Pa responded with a big roar. [ ha ha ha! yes-! This seat is! I dont rely on the power of the divinity! Unlike scammers like you, Geji doesnt get seduced by the towers tricks! ] Wave Emperor continued to speak with madness on his face. [Do you think thats all! ] next moment. Divinity < Void > is activated, and within a radius of 100m, the conceptual divinity is converted to the void state. It was heterogeneous. If the concept of divinity and the status of the soul umted as an ancient deity remain, should I say that it is difficult to fully express the divine power? It seems to be a kind of sacred sealing condition Even if it is difficult to activate the conceptual divinity due to the divinity < Void >, this side is not particrly confused or embarrassed. The myth of transcendence < absolute immutability > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons actions will have the divine effect of < denial of alteration >. . From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < The One and Only >. Outside phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission. There is no such thing as losing my power. Still, does it belong to the axis of conceptual divinity in its own way? The effect of the divine < void > has notpletely disappeared. But it wasnt frustrating. Its worth doing. Even if there is the transcendental myth < Absolute Unchanging >, it is a bit difficult to operate divinity Unlike the original concept supernormal ability of the divinity < Void >, the divinity ability is notpletely sealed. However, the other side seemed to be obsessed with itself, perhaps not knowing that fact, and was continuing its madness. [Now-! With this, all of your lucky powers will be gone! Dont rely on that fake power, you bastard! ] At that, I asked a question while looking at Emperor Pa with a strange expression on my face. Did you devote all of your concept divinities to one physical ability, except for the real divinity < Void >? and. [ okay-! All of the divinities, except for the divinity < Void >, were dedicated to my martial arts! Now-! Come on, moribe! Surrender to the power of the main seat! ] Hearing that, I burst outughing uncontrobly and had to smile very joyfully. [? ] As if he couldnt understand it from the other side, Emperor Pas face strangely frowned, and shallow anger and doubt flowed from his mouth. [You you swindler. why are youughing so much Did you dare to hear what I said so ridiculously? Sleeping on the subject. ] But it wasnt scary. Ah No. Is it funny? If I had to question it, should I say that I was in a pleasant mood as if I was watching a funny gag? Isnt that obviously funny? Before I knew it, I saw that the emperors divine power was infinitely low and said with a big smile. Oh Its not even that. Is the divine < void > a divine effect that even the person himself cannot avoid? The concept of Pa-Emperors divinity has be iparably weaker than before. I should be grateful to you. [What the hell is that] Thank you. [ .] And. Ill probably never see a godhead like you, an idiot whos too eager to give himself away. At that, I foolishly licked my lips at Pacheonhwang, who had be an underdog himself. really. As if there was no need to just stare at that wonderfully prepared meal any longer. Chapter 389 389. Dimensionalpetition (5) In an instant, Emperor Pas expression distorted and was ruined. [You] Before I knew it, Emperor Pa was ring at me, revealing his rage-filled emotions without hesitation. [What did you just say? ] As if he had heard some bullshit that he couldnt possibly hear. I was just stating a simple fact. At that, I let out a mockingugh while standing on a huge broken rock. That youre stupid enough not to be worth dealing with. It was worth it. Divinity and the rank given ordingly are like life to a godhead. Dedicating ones divinity or status to mere physical ability means giving up everything as a god isnt that a foolish choice? What do you think is the reason why so many deities dont give up like you, even after knowing that the divinity of concepts causes pollution to the mind? Before I knew it, Ipletely removed the damage umted in various parts of my body with gray blood and continued. It is because the divinity of the concept proves the very trajectory of a godheads life that has transcended mortality. As it was, I continued to speak with a mocking expression on my lips. And you threw it away. [ . ] You dont know. What divinity means and how arduous the process of attaining it is. It means that you are stupid because you have not built anything yourself. [You! ] Why? isnt that true? Giving everything to something like physical ability thats foolish. [I wont look at it anymore, Ill let myself rip that garbage-like mouth off! ] After those words, Emperor Pa immediately rushed this way, kicking the floating rocks like a stepping stone. I dont think I can listen to this sides provocation anymore If I had to argue, the showdown with Emperor Pa is now a battle that I cant lose even if I try to lose, isnt it? Then there was no need to feel anxious. On the contrary, this is an opportunity. That means one thing. Its a great chance to extract faith. Its nothing else Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < Nim Enemy > . It has a great interference with the power of. Beings without will cannot resist your holy power. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the effect of < Chaos >. When < Chaos > is activated, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the higher the efficiency of faith extraction. Its really fun. The moment to build a foundation to create a new myth has arrived. *** Pacheonhwang (). It literally refers to an unmanned person who can be said to be an emperor who can destroy the sky. It was only natural that at most a light movement resonated as if the sky would shatter. [ Bastard! ] And Power powerful enough to break the heavens of the emperor was bursting out like an explosion. In the blink of an eye, Pacheonwang used the floating rocks as stepping stones to run and unleash numerous attacks. Support Support Support Support Support -! The Divine < Heaven Light > is activated, and the starlight of pure purification is released. At the moment when the ray of purification made up of the Divine was torn into several branches, it ran in an intricate trajectory. The Authority skill Starlight is activated, and starlight containing divine < death > is created. Of course, it has no meaning. Kkwajijijijijik!! It was because the ck starlight swallowed the bright starlight of the divinity < Chungwang > like a snake opening its mouth wide and swallowing its prey. Upon seeing this, Emperor Pa was so moved that he gnashed his teeth, but then continued to pour out other attacks without stopping. Its like he wont give you any more time to catch your breath. The breath of destruction boils up inside the body due to the special authority Evolution of Sammae ] Samadhi evolution. As soon as the mes boiled and overflowed from the corner of Pacheonwangs mouth, a mighty stream of fire shot out. It had destructivenessparable to that of a dragons breath, and possessed so much magical power that any me seemed to fade in front of it. The special power, Dragon Change is activated. The amount of magical power possessed is doubled for 10 minutes. Reproduces some of the characteristics of the dragon race for 10 minutes. For 10 minutes, all interference and operational abilities rted to magic increase. But isnt that a statement that can only be made under the assumption that there is no real dragon in front of you? Soon, the moment when horns like those of a dragon grew on Han Seong-yoons head. As it was, destructive mes that were no different from the breath of a real dragon shot out as a single breath. The authority skill Unextinguished mortal me is activated. And that too, with the worst mes mixed together. Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang-! Upon seeing the scene, Emperor Pa noticed a fact and sharpened his teeth. [ dare-! Is someone like you trying to deal with me using only simr skills to me! Arrogance has its limits! ] Of course. The adversary of the Wave Emperor in front of me had never once shown all of his power. And as soon as he noticed that, Emperor Pa spat out the words violently as if his pride had been seriously scratched. [ Bastard! I am the incarnation of martial arts and the number one martial artist of the time! All of your struggles fade in front of me! everything-! ] next moment. Woo woo woo woo woo-. In the blink of an eye, the Greatsword of Emperor Pacheon expanded in size, creating a shape resembling a mountain range. It was as if he had miniaturized and hid that huge sword. Nothing was really different. but for a while. [ ! ] The emperor waved his spirit and tried to plunge a huge sword like a mountain into it, but even that failed. The Vampire Lords Robe (SS+) exclusive effect, Blood Spirit Protection is strongly activated. Creates the highest level of shield with blood inside the body to defend against external attacks. Vestments of the Vampire Lord (SS+). Originally, the exclusive effect of the most outstanding item among the rewards obtained by breaking through numerous stages in the Dimensional Cradle was activated. In an instant, the red protective shieldpletely blocks thending point of the greatsword, canceling all impacts and scattering them. The aftermath of the overwhelming shock swept across the floating ind. But it didnt end there. The Vampire Lords Robe (SS+) exclusive effect, Transformation, is strongly activated. Assisting the will of the user, the self-consciousness inherent in the item assists the owner. All of a sudden, the Vampire Lords Robe (SS+) worn by Han Seong-yoon became soft and changed into a thin armor, erasing even the remnants of that power. As if every single item was a perfect counter And with that, the Greatsword wielded by the emperor broke into incontinence, and hisplexion turned even more messy. As it was, Pacheonwang let go of the handle of the broken greatsword and leaped again with clenched fists. [Bugs! ] However The unique skill, Sword Realm is strongly activated. Seal most of the abilities other than the sword possessed by the opponent who enters the fixed radius. However, the user must only use the sword, and the ability A cooldown of 7 days is granted. That was only for a moment. [ What. ] The moment when the activation of the unique skill Sword Realm is finished. [What is this! ] Wave Emperor let out a mixture of surprise and bewilderment, and hurriedly swung the sword tied to his waist to defend himself. Kaga River-! At least it wasnt too bad. Compulsory dueling restrictions such as the unique skill Sword Realm can be said to be an excellent response to something that he has never experienced. However, Emperor Pa gnashed his teeth as if he couldnt admit it, and while shouting loudly, he slowly vomited his feelings of denial. [ under! stupid thing! Didnt I say that I am the incarnation of martial arts! At the very least, weapon limitations are nothing! ] And Really? next moment. That is fortunate. As it was, Han Seong-yoon replied with a smile while raising his twin swords. Even if it does, it doesnt make any sense. With that, the conversation ended. In an instant, the sword des collided with each other. And in the process, the swords starlight tried to copse each other, and there was a loud roar. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Emperor Pa was certain of victory. Bondi Wave Emperor can change all of his divine powers and skills into body-rted stats based on his unique characteristics. That means one thing. In a situation where there is an extreme duel restriction where you have to duel using only each others sword, Pacheonwang has an advantage. In fact, it was. The unique skill Sleep is activated. Even if it is an attack that cannot be shed, it bes possible to shed it. Its just that Han Seong-yoon uses his unique skill Sleep to scatter countless attacks. [ Hahaha-! no meaning? Bullshit-! What can you do with such meager physical abilities! Foolish! ] Wave Emperor was mad and swung his longsword heavily. [ ruler-! look! This is the price to pay for relying on divinity or skill! You bastard can do nothing but lose to me! ] Kwaaang-! [The four of them cant be my opponents! ] One, and that for a while. The moment Emperor Pa lowered his sword with an eerie smile full of joy. As it was, Han Seong-yoons sword was fired in a straight line and counterattacked as if going back to the opponents blow. Inherent skill, Drain is activated. Using 30% of the bodys holy power, the opponents attack ispletely scattered. Thats right suddenly! the winner is decided. Time conditions met. Battle for 44 minutes while designating an enemy in the list of deaths. By the list of deaths, the challenger Fa-Emperor is eroded by divine < death >. ] And thats not all. All of a sudden, the divinity < Death > eroded the body of the wave-emperor due to the roster, which is an authority exclusive to the godhead. It was only then that Emperor Pa noticed that something was seriously wrong as he coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth, but it was meaningless. [What the hell is this] I guess you noticed it now. Seeing this, Han Seong-yoon casuallynded on one of the rocks on the floating ind and said as if it were natural. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. [ . ] Thats because its hard to withstand my divinity < death > with a divinity of a higher deity level. [What the heck is that] Pacheonwang copsed on the bottom of one of the rocks on the floating ind, coughing and pouring out blood. As if he no longer had the strength to stand or speak. Only Pacheonwang looked up at Han Seong-yoon with numerous negative emotions such as surprise, fear, and shame in his eyes. [Keuheu-! No way!! Head seat! There is no way that I will be defeated! cool!! ] Doesnt that even go well? [ Oops!! ] Wave Emperor was eroded by the divine < death > and as if to inform that he was dying steadily, he could not speak any more and poured out only blood. Its a level that should be called foolishness. The eyes of each other clearly diverge, and the winner and the loser are divided. At least, if I had started a holy battle based on the divine < void >, I think I would have been able to fight And. what. In fact, the winner was decided from the beginning. Even so, the oue wouldnt have changed. Even The god of transcendence and death looks at a stupid high-ranking deity with greedy eyes. *** It was nd. Challenger Han Seong-yoon gained 3.1% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against a high-level deity. Absorbed the spirit of the challenger, Pacheonhwang. . But I thought it would be worth fighting at the level of Pacheonhwang . I absorbed the spirit that flowed from the emperors corpse and clicked my tongue. If its not an ancient deity, Im not even close enough to deal with now. It was bittersweet. At least among the challengers, the rank difference was so weak that Pa-Emperor was this weak. I thought he would have at least something that would give me a glimpse of the ancient godhood, so I felt even more regretful. Even because I gave all my divinity to my physical ability, I didnt see much benefit from the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >. It was worth it. In fact, this side has to face a stronger opponent to get more rewards. It is fortunate that much of the faith needed to create a myth was ripped off based on the myth < Enemy of Everything >. Even if he was just a challenger, it was regrettable that Emperor Pa, who was a ranker in his own way, was this weak. It cant be helped. but for a while. Permanently increase stats by using themand of the challenger, Death Emperor. Muscle strength increased by 301 Agility increased by 303 Stamina increased by 306 Magic power increased by 101. Durability has increased by 307. Concept has increased by 30. Thats great. As it was, I smiled broadly after using the Emperors spirit. Come to think of it, is it because Emperor Pa has reced even the divinity of the concept with physical abilities? Somehow, the increase in all of the ability points obtained through themand of the emperor was extraordinary. Condition satisfied. Transformation acquisition of the unique property was determined by random probability. Absorbs the unique property possessed by the challenger, Fa-Emperor. However Unique skill, Secret of Selection and Concentration (S). Thats not the end. Absorbed the spirit of the god of emptiness, Fa-Emperor and satisfied special conditions. You can acquire one of the divine spirits of the spirit of the god of emptiness, Fa-Emperor. Currently, the potential divinity that can be acquired is These are < Void >, < Heavenly Light >, < Dark Sky >, and < The Path >. At this time, the potential divinity that was not selected will not appear as an optionter on. The time to obtain a new divinity has arrived. Chapter 390 390. 27th Floor (1) Absorbed the spirit of the god of emptiness, Paemper, and satisfied the special conditions. You can learn one of the divine spirits of the spirit of the god of emptiness, Paemper. Currently The potential divinities that can be acquired are < Void > < Celestial Light > < Dark Sky > < Dark Sword >. The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an optionter. Select Divinity. Looking at the options made up of system messages, I licked my lips. Should I say it feels like having a barrel full of honey in front of you? Isnt it like picking up a treasure chest on the roadside unintentionally? Perhaps, among these, there are divinities given directly by the tower In fact, all the divinities of Pacheonhwang are the same as those received from the Tower of Trials. If I can choose that, it will be a pretty good harvest. It was expected. What kind of divinities did the tower give to Emperor Pa? And what kind of divinity are they and what kind of synergy can they create with the divinities on this side. I smiled at the corner of my mouth, tapped the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, and happily looked at the system message. For now, should I exclude the divine < void >? There was no need to choose the Divine < Void >. Because the ability of the Divine < Void > demonstrated by the emperor was Divine Seal. Its not an ability that you should acquire by squandering the chance to choose the divinity of a concept. Even more so since I have the ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+), an itemparable to the divine < Void >. I dont really need the Divine Spirit < Heavenly Light >. Also, I knew that the divine < Chunkwang > was useless to me because I already had a record written by Emperor Pa. At most, it was at the level of emitting beams of light made of divinity. Then, it was clear that the divine < Heaven Light > was unnecessary as long as there was a wide-area skill such as a holy light or an unquenchable mortal me. Then there are two remaining options. If you have to choose, you have to choose between the divine < Amcheon > or the divine < Paedo >. Is it the divine < Amcheon > or the divine < Paedo >? The trouble didntst long. With only two of the four options left, everything else is down to luck. seed or fail. All this side could do was wish them luck. But it wasnt anything to worry about. Of course. Selectionpleted. Divinity < Dark Sky > is reced with potential. Until now, I have rarely lost money in things that depended on pure luck. The divine < Amcheon > is used. The Divine < Amcheon > transforms the entire area into a dedicated battlefield. On the dedicated battlefield where the Divine < Amcheon > is used, all creatures other than challenger Han Seong-yoon fall into a debilitating state. I lose. And coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-goo! It was no different this time. In the blink of an eye, clouds of ck light appeared all over the floating ind, and the entire space itself was almost separated. Yes That meant one thing. Youre lucky. That I made the right choice. On a dedicated battlefield where the Divine Spirit < Amcheon > is used, the Conceptual Divinity of Challenger Han Seong-yoon is enhanced by +100%. That is also very good. *** Amcheon. The concept of divinity itself had the meaning of a dark sky, but the effect was not that dark. A level that feels incredibly bright again. Well, the enemies who entered the dedicated battlefield of the divine < Dark Sky > would feel despair because of their weak condition, but that was not something I knew. This is Before I knew it, I was convinced as I looked around the dedicated battlefield made up of the divine < Amcheon >. Isnt it great? Im pretty sure this is the best option. Should I say its a kind of divine realm built with the divine < Dark Heaven >? This was the result of separating the real space based on the divinity of the concept. To put it bluntly, unlike the existing method of amplifying and applying the effect of concept divinity in the divine realm, it would have to be said that it focused only on one battle. Is the divine < Dark Sky > able to change all the effects of the divine realm into buffs suitable forbat? Perhaps the divine < Dark Heaven > seems to build the effect of the divine realm to be suitable for battle rather than the supernormal ability of the divine itself Excellent. It was the best. Just by standing here, I can get the effect of enhancing my Conceptual Divinities by 100%? It was at the level of intense doubt as to why Emperor Pa did not use the divine < Amcheon > in earnest. no. Its not that I dont understand it at all. Divinity < Dark Sky > consumes a lot of holy power. Its not a level that the emperor can handle. Of course, Im guessing why. Even with the amount of divine power this side possessed, it was difficult to sustain the divine < Dark Sky >. Presumably, Pacheonwang abandoned his divine power and took physical ability, so it was clear that he did not even have enough divine power to use the divine < Dark Sky >. Its really stupid. At that, I looked down at the corpse of Emperor Pa, and let out a cold gaze as if I was denouncing the foolishness. Hes probably the first andst person to dedicate his divinity to a mere obscure bodily ability. To be honest, isnt it still hard to understand? Divinity < fighting spirit > The same level of concept, not overwhelming physical ability that can be opposed to divinity, but just a power that can not go beyond the mortal category, the divinity was discarded. stupidly. It didnt even have to be looked at from the perspective of the side that had reached the level of the ancient godhead. Just because anyone who knows the importance of divinity will answer that it was a foolish choice. Let alone what can be considered the best decision, it is a judgment that should be called the worst decision. but for a while. As I looked down at the corpse of Emperor Pa, I turned my gaze elsewhere. After all, there is nothing to be gained by thinking about the foolishness of losers. In that case, the first priority is to confirm the supernormal ability of the divine < Amcheon >. By the way And then. Divine < Remorse > is used. Can interfere with the past concept of time. However, if the interference is unrted to the user of Divine < Remorse >, the activation of Divinity is canceled. The moment when I tested how far the conceptual divinity could be strengthened based on supernormal abilities. Is this the 100% enhancement of concept divinity? I had to admire the sight that opened my eyes. Originally, the divinity < Remorse > obtained from the demon world must have a level of ability to interfere with the concept of time and make time pass slowly. At most, divine < remorse > was only a feeble degree that slowed down or weakly fixed the time of the surrounding space. But not anymore. Ssss-! In an instant, the destroyed scenery of the floating ind is restored. As if turning back time itself It means that now, the divine < remorse > is able to turn back time itself, not at the level of slowing down or weakly fixing time. Not even that. I can feel it. Did some kind of conceptual change ur due to the strengthening of the concept of divinity? Are some of the concepts of divinity slightly different? The phenomenon of reversing the time of divine < Remorse > can exert a semi-permanent continuity. Should I say that as long as Im alive, I can continue the supernormal ability of the divinity indefinitely? Considering that the originally divine < Remorse > caused a temporary time fixation phenomenon or a very slight reversal of time, it must be a huge change. And not only that, it seemed that it was also possible for the divine < repentance > to exert greater influence by designating only a certain target. It seems that the continuity rted to the divine effect and the operability itself have improved. It didnt just stop in thought, it actually did. The moment I applied the Divine < Remorse > to the outside of the ce where I was standing. In an instant, the traces of destruction all over the floating ind disappeared outside where I was standing. It was as clean as it was to erase all traces of the fierce battle that took ce here. DWhat the hell is this And Damcheonwu, who saw it, spat out words as if he was dumbfounded. DI cant imagine being able topletely control it to a certain extent, rather than just turning back time itself A voice tinged with astonishment, as if he couldnt believe it even though he had seen it himself. But I wasnt too keen on it. Anyway, this is what I expected. DEven if its possible to fix or reverse time semi-permanently, even if its just a part of it, then youre a monster even by the standards of higher deities I guess so . However, there are still many shorings. The divine < Remorse > is a conceptual divinity with many limitations. -her. Thats what you want too much. Even if time can only be turned back or fixed within the divine < Dark Sky >, this can turn back time itself semi-permanently, right? Still, the limits will be clear. D? Its simple. As it was, I stopped activating the Divine < Remorse > and answered while touching my chin as if regretting it. Because in a battle with an enemy who is a high-ranking deity or an ancient deity, the divinity < remorse > will be only a level of restraint. It was worth it. Even if the divinity < remorse > can be exerted strongly by designating a certain target, it cannotpletely stop the time of the divinity. Of course, if it was at the level of a formal deity, it would be possible to stop time without difficulty. When it reached the level of a higher or ancient deity, it was possible to break the divinity effect purely with the divine resistance ability. At most, Divine < Remorse > is just a kind of restraint skill inbat. However In the fierce battle with the ancient deity, he wont be able to show any great activity other than restraint. There is no such thing as disappointment. But the other concept divinities I have are different. After all, the divinity of the concept this side has isnt just the divinity < remorse >. Divine < Transcendence > Divine < Death > Divine < Fight > Divine < Empathy > Divine < Victory > etc So far, the concept of divinity acquired in return for defeating numerous formidable enemies while climbing the tower has settled in his body. Isnt it that the divinity of many concepts I have is greatly strengthened without missing a single one? Arent they the traces of the unfading struggle built up by this side and the symbol of a victor who has repeatedly reversed? So And then. Its good to look forward to how strong the divinities of the concepts Ive umted so far will grow. That means one thing. Originally, I, who is only the beginning of an ancient deity, can reach a high level, albeit imperfectly. In other words, there is a possibility of fighting and winning against the gods of darkness or the ancient gods that have existed for a long time, such as demons and dragon gods. There is an infinitely small probability that it will. It will be at least a level where I can face off against other ancient deities. But I was not mistaken. This only achieved the possibility of trying to fight with the Gods of Darkness or ancient gods of high rank such as Dragon Gods. Even if many concepts of divinity were strengthened based on the divine < Dark Sky >, the probability of defeat on this side was overwhelmingly high. It was clearly recognized. Even so, I guess its still just a shortcut. The number of cases in which this side would be defeated was numerous. Probably, if the opponent destroys the divine < Dark Sky > with a counter, or if the opponent does not fight on a dedicated battlefield built with the divine < Dark Sky >, the fight will not be established. In fact, its not that I havent seen such a case while climbing the tower. After seeing how many times this side countered the strength, it was to the point of greed that I wanted to hold as many hands as possible to counter it. Knowing that, I didnt feel arrogant. Even if I became an ancient deity, it doesnt mean that I have the same status as a god of darkness or a demon. In a fierce battle where each others lives were staked, no matter how many cards were hidden, it was not enough. Just as I gained a lot of strength while climbing the tower The ancient deities must have lived an immortal life, so they should have enough cards to fight against them. Even if the divine < Amcheon > had tremendous abilities, there would be plenty of ways to destroy it from there. Still, its fun to get a great move. Of course, if you can use the divine < Dark Sky >, you will be able to fight against the ancient gods, so there is noint. Then, it seems that the confirmation of the divinity is over with this Right after I picked up a purple jewel that had fallen around the corpse of Emperor Paxen while recovering all the power of the divinity. Is there anything left to do now? In an instant, system messages appeared as if announcing the end of the event. The challenger Hunter has taken the Void Stone of the Dimensional Cradle < Ind of Selection and Wealth [A-?] >. Void Stone. It is like the key to the victory of the dimensional cradle < Isle of Selection and Wealth [A-?] >. As soon as I had it in my hands, the system messages seemed to announce the birth of a new winner. The control rate of the Void Stone in the Dimensional Cradle < Isle of Selection and Flotation [A-?] > gradually increases. Challenge task when the control rate of the Void Stone on the Floating Ind reaches 100% will end. However, you can steal from your opponent until the control rate of the Void Stone reaches 100%. The challenger Hunter is upying it. Suddenly, the system messages I saw when I entered the dimensional cradle < Ind of Selection and Flotation [A-?] > reappeared. It was obvious why. It must be showing that I should be nervous because I could lose the Void Stone to another challenger. It seems to appeal that the event of the dimensional cradle is still not over But despite that, I didnt feel any tension at all. Anyway, the ending where this side is thest winner has already been decided. The control rate of the Void Stone in the Dimensional Cradle < Isle of Selection and Flotation [A-?] > increases by 1%. Multiplier increases by 1% Dimension Cradle < Isle of Selection and Flotation [A-?] >s Void Stone control rate increases by 1% And .. .. Conditions satisfied. The winner of the dimensional cradle < Isle of Selection and Wealth [A-?] > was determined to be the challenger Hunter. It wasnt difficult to achieve that. Dimension Cradle < Ind of Selection and Flotation [A-?] > challenge has been cleared. As a reward forpleting the challenge, you will be granted a Dimension Exclusive Barrier (EX) on Earth. Sess in the challenge As a reward, Bracelet of Selection and Wealth (A+) will be sent to your inventory. As a reward forpleting the challenge, Skill Proficiency Up Potion (A+) will be sent to your inventory. The challenger will soon return to his dimension. Now, the time to return to the Tower of Trials was approaching. Chapter 391 391. 27th floor (2) Time passed quickly. Before I knew it, I had returned to Earth after winning the event in the Dimensional Cradle. This side felt it was just an obvious victory, but those on Earth didnt seem to think so. [World Hunter Association expresses respect for challenger Han Seong-yoon, saying, If there was no challenger, Seong-yoon Han, it would have been more difficult to capture the dimension cradle.] [The worlds strongest challenger? One of Koreas challengers, Han Seong-yoon, is said to be the worlds strongest, but his whereabouts are unknown] [ The head of the Susanoo Guild. Sachio Michimoto became a hot topic when he praised, It is not a waste to say that challenger Han Seong-yoons skills are the best. A gorgeous hotel located in the center of Seoul. Sitting on the sofa in the guest room there, I smiled at the screen of my smartphone. For some reason, even though it must have been only a few days since the events of the Dimensional Cradle ended, the inte was filled with news about this side. I didnt know that my activities in the cradle of dimension would cause such a big impact. It was worth it. In fact, the events of the dimensional cradle held under the leadership of the tower were nothing but light y to me. It wasnt just a waste of time thanks to the divine < Dark Sky > and unique skill Secret Art of Selection and Concentration (S) in addition to the rewards given in the cradle of dimension event. The event itself wasnt too difficult. But what the hell is this. It was just this sides point of view. I dont even have to search for it myself on a portal site, which is cumbersome. If you just ess any site on the inte, you will see a lot of articles talking about this side. [Han Seong-yoons live video gives goosebumps when you watch it againgif] -Kya. Its a live video taken by Han Seong-yoon in the US Its crazy to watch it again. novelty. < Comments (771) > -Ninono (slshsh88**): Those who watched Han Seong-yoons live broadcast would know that. Sigrung(tlrmfjdj48**): Yes. You killed that monster with just one word. Even though Han Seong-yoon is a style that mainly uses a sword. Its just different. StarMaker 17 (tmxkapdlzjl17**): Han Seong-yoon was not called the worlds strongest for nothing. Like a real monster. Brake (qmfpdlzm55**): Great. Its really mulberry. Sometimes I see a lot of idiots fanatically praising Han Seong-yoon, but these days I can really understand that feeling hahaha . Its not even just that. If I had to question it, would it be a kind of re-lighting effect following a surge in poprity? All of a sudden, the video of me killing the apostle sent by the god of battle was reying it again and admiring it all over the inte. Isnt that bad though? At that, I looked at the screen of my smartphone and my eyes twinkled. Even if it wasnt so, there was a need to gather the faith of those on Earth because they had to obtain the divine < Earth >. To be honest, there is nothing too sudden, but if we can create the current atmosphere, it will be easier to make the earth worship this side. Then it wasnt a bad thing. At least its not a loss for me. But you dont have to worry about it. Anyway, the evaluations made by the Earth on this side are meaningless unless they are at the level of perfect faith. I just feel a little bit of anticipation because I know that I am steadily building a foothold to obtain the divine < Earth >. Knowing that, I no longer read the news that popped up on my smartphone screen. If there is an incident that will be heard again on Earth, then I will be able to get a lot out of it. As it was, I stopped thinking about the earth as I stretched out on the couch. Come to think of it, theres only one thing left to do Instead, he manipted the system to check a unique skill obtained from the cradles event. Inherent Skill C Secret Art of Selection and Concentration (S) Proficiency C 100% Basic Effect C Coordinates the distribution of the users abilities. Detailed effect (2) C The ability rted to the body can be permanently increased in exchange for power. You can permanently increase it by doing this.] However Not so good. I didnt like it very much. In fact, the unique skill Secret Art of Selection and Concentration (S) has the effect of going all-in on one physical ability. However this side was not only able to grow its physical abilities without limit based on the unique characteristics of necromancy, but also had many strengthening abilities such as divine < fighting spirit > and exclusive spell < contempt for the strong >. To be honest, its hard to feel the benefits. I wonder if its an advantage that I can substitute skills that arent worth using with physical abilities. With that, the confirmation of the unique skill came to an end. Sorry. Somehow, there was no sense of waste. I thought it would be pretty fun toe back here from the original tower, but the ie wasnt that great except for getting a new divinity. Even if it is not a waste of time, it is still regrettable that a higher level ofpensation could not be obtained for this. I smiled at him, narrowing my eyes. In the end, is it high risk, high return At this point, you know for sure. It means that you cant get an unconventional reward by defeating an enemy that is weaker than this side. There were no shortcuts. If I hope to be able to reach beyond the ancient godhead, I will have to take the risk. Knowing that, I couldnt be more dissatisfied. Then you should do that. Originally, for a challenger who climbs the tower, there is only one way to achieve what he desires. Time ends. Return to the Tower of Trials. It was the timing to advance to the new floor of the Tower of Trials. *** I entered the waiting room on the 27th floor. I sometimes thought about that. I think maybe Im going the wrong way. And each time, the words that the God of Proof told me wandered around in my head, adding to my worries. C Will new beliefs dwell in you, who are not interested in anything other than bing stronger? Originally, the God of Proof saw me and said that I would go through extreme changes after pursuing bing stronger. If you can just achieve pure growth, you will be a monster that will devour everything without hesitation. Thats not entirely wrong. After all, I had reached this ce at the end of climbing the tower and abandoning all values other than bing stronger. However, I did not regret it. Is it a belief? It was worth it. I, who was only a challenger to climb the tower, had risen to the level of an ancient deity. And thats not all. After climbing the tower and going through countless fierce battles, he also obtained the hidden card of transcendence myth. It had the power to change the ending I would face. -This must also be part of the proof. that would be fun Dont wait for your choice here. Recalling a conversation with the god of proof that now feels like a distant past, I answered somewhere. This is also a choice. And A choice that ovees everything with just one overwhelming force. As it was, I finished my choice while standing in the middle of the towers stone chamber, showing an expressionless expression. Entering the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials. It is nothing else Entering the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials. I hope there will be a satisfactory result at the end of the penance. 27th floor. He entered the floor where the god of proof had warned that the worst ending woulde. In an instant, the space changed from the stone chamber of the tower to a ce like a dark Colosseum. . And thats not all. The theme assigned to the ordeal on the 27th floor in the Tower of Trials was also set to betrayal. Should I say its like a tant hint that this side will betray someone? Seeing that, I watched the system messages appear without expression. Start the 27th floor ordeal.

From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy > . By coordinating it with the spirit attack, you can apply the effect of the spirit attack to that power. The next moment. The divine < Amcheon > is used. The Divine < Amcheon > transforms the entire area into a dedicated battlefield. On the dedicated battlefield where the Divine < Amcheon > is used, all creatures other than challenger Han Seong-yoon fall into a debilitating state. It loses. Challenger Han Seong-yoons conceptual divinity is increased by +100% on the dedicated battlefield where the divine < Dark Heaven > is used. In an instant, I activated the divine < Dark Heaven > in addition to the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-! The foreground, like the very dark sky itself, changes the space. Before anyone knew it, the dark Colosseum prepared by the tower was almost swallowed up by the divine < Dark Sky >. And seeing that, I gave the order to stop time by mixing the divine < Empathy > with the divine < Remorse >. Divinity < Words > are used. Sacred power can be consumed to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a lot of divine power is consumed for Words that interfere with thews of the world. Stop. But Error urred.

In the blink of an eye, the space split apart, and overwhelming power poured out likeva. It feels like having an enraged ancient deity right in front of you. Just by the Tower of Trials attempting a forcible intervention, space was distorted and a phenomenon arose as if facing a huge typhoon. But it didnt make any sense.

In fact, no matter what the Tower of Trials did, it no longer worked, so the activation of so many exclusive rights had to be canceled. under. It was thrilling. It means that I reached a point where I could block the power of the Tower of Trials before I knew it. Even if it was a challenger near the top floor, no one would be able to imagine going up against the tower. But this one wasnt like that. As a result of repeated victories so far, I was able to reach the lofty realm of an ancient deity, which means that divinity was imprinted as one of the concepts of the universe and immortality was achieved. Then it was just that simple. . Many ancient deities are watching over you. Many ancient deities pay tribute to the lofty divinity and spirit you have built. The Tower of Trials is now for me. It is no longer an irresistible existence. . The Tower of Trials greatly increases the risk level of challenger Seongyoon Han. The Tower of Trials no longer allows the observation and intervention of ancient deities on Seongyoon Han.

The god of transcendence and death is obsessed with the trivial tricks of the Tower of Trials. ] In the blink of an eye, the divine wavelength resonates, followed by an overwhelming interference. It is not an insignificant interference that can be eliminated with the Tower of Trials. Truly, this is one of the secret paddles mixed with the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > and the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability >. Of course, in addition to the consumption of divinity, the consumption of rank is also great, but This side did note up to a new floor without any countermeasures. no. On the contrary, it would have to be the other way around. As I climbed the tower, I learned that the 27th floor was a kind of turning point, and I knew that, so I gathered a lot of cards in my hands. The preparation to throw away the winning number was enough. I can still hold on. However Failure to fix error. I strongly rmend that the tower stop immediately regarding events outside of challenger Han Seong-yoons authority. Did that offend the other side? The Tower of Trials was urging me to relinquish divine interference. But even so, he had not the slightest intention of listening to him. dog sound. It was natural. Even if hebined the concept divinity with numerous abilities from transcendence myths to resist the tower, that would be too close to enduring. To be honest, the limit itself was obvious. Anyway, the divine < Amcheon > or the divine < Remorse > could not be used for a long time because the consumption rate of divine power itself was too high. At most, how many minutes will I use it? Its just a kind of warning. But it didnt matter. Originally, the reason this side entered the trials on the 27th floor was to show that they could stand up to the towers tricks. In fact, at the point of bing an ancient god and gaining an overwhelming status, there was no need to y around with the towers tricks if you didnt want it anymore. I needed to make it clear. The tower should know that. At least I had the confidence to run away from this ce no matter what the Tower of Trials did. There were a lot of paddles he obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials without rest. At the very least, it was possible to tear apart and escape from this flimsy space with the ck magic of ancient deity. But there is one reason not to. What this side wants is to reach the top floor after climbing the Tower of Trials. As long as that was one of my goals, I couldnt stand perfectly opposite the Tower of Trials. It can be said that it is best to coordinate each others wishes to some extent. If so, wouldnt it be easier for many ancient deities who have a crush on me to achieve what they wished for just by observing the tower? And those predictions came true.

A number of ancient deities im that the Tower of Trials is a legitimate intervention ording to thew of cause and effect. Is that why? The Tower of Trials is silent against the forced intervention of many ancient deities. The Tower of Trials agrees to intervene in trials ording to the causalw of many ancient deities. The Tower of Trials. By activating this #C-192 [Stop Trial Progress], the progress of the trial will stop. As it was, the Tower of Trials did as the many ancient deities wished for in silence. What. When I saw that, I couldnt help butugh inside. In fact, all this side wanted from the many ancient deities was to pay attention to the tower. If thats the case, its surprising how many ancient deities are so actively trying to help me. I cant believe this will turn out like this. but for a while. The Tower of Trials looks at you in silence. Seeing the system message that suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, I calmed my eyes. The Tower of Trials will not forget that you need to adjust your risky behavior. I was dumbfounded. Its shameless. is it an adjustment? Iughed at him with a twisted smile on my lips. Wasnt the reason why this side fiercely resisted the top because the other side did the repair work first? However, despite this, the Tower of Trials is still a court, so I get angry when ites out so unlucky. whatever? I replied, looking at the space on the ceiling filled with nothing but darkness. Ive been talking a lot about mediation. As it was, I calmly opened my eyes and continued talking. Well, you wouldnt abandon me, would you? It was natural. So far, the Tower of Trials tried to be able to rece this side, but in the end it couldnt. Even after going through countless fierce battles, even the Tower of Trials became the greatest masterpiece that could no longer be easily touched. The Tower of Trials listens to you in silence. Knowing that, I was able to be confident. We only came this far because we wanted each other. In fact, there was no need to enter into a one-way transaction with the Tower of Trials anymore. Then, we should keep a certain line between each other. We need to be equal to each other. Dont make any more jokes. And Because either way, if there is no agreement of interest, only discord will happen. As it was, I spoke in a cold tone as if it were a final warning. I will not be controlled by anyone anymore. That was the perfect ending. . The tower of trials has partially revised information about you. the tower of trials activates #D-476[allowing intervention in trials], and most of the contents of the trials are changed. The Tower of Trials no longer responded to the words of this side. He only changed the contents of the trials on the 27th floor after recognizing that there was a problem. And as if waiting for that, a number of ancient gods revealed their presence andunched system messages. A number of ancient deities were sufficiently satisfied that the Tower of Trials allowed them to intervene in the trials. A number of ancient deities request you to request a pantheon based on a majority vote. has beenpleted. 4 for, 1 against Request? pantheon. My eyes widened at the sudden appearance of a keyword I had never heard of. But there was no time to think about it. Because the space created by the Tower of Trials was distorted and the transition was beginning. A number of ancient deities supervised the trials on the 27th floor. The god of darkness was selected as a representative among the number of ancient deities. The god of darkness invites you to the divine realm. The next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-. The darkness that seemed to engulf the world encroached on the space itself, causing darkness in the field of vision. But for some reason, it wasnt unfamiliar. Its an energy Ive felt before. It was cozy. In response, I closed my eyes once, opened them, and looked at which space I had transferred to. There is a woman wearing a ck robe in the center of a garden filled with only darkness. Only then did I realize who the other person was, and I felt tension and relief at the same time. Long time no see. That woman in front of me was one of the ancient deities I hadnt seen in a very long time. God of Darkness. Its nothing else The god of darkness is waving his hand, feeling great joy at seeing you for the first time in a while. [ Whoops. yes he is my favorite Its been a while. ] was the god of darkness. Chapter 393 Episode 393. 27th floor (4) Before I knew it, I was feeling excessive tension and feeling wary. The Dark God. Because the ancient godhead Ive often seen when climbing the Tower of Trials was looking this way. She was waving at me as if she was infinitely happy, but her vignce could not help but be extremely high. This is I felt. It was an overwhelming level of divinity that was iparable to anything I had built up until now. If we talk about the existence closest to the strongest among the ancient gods, the level of the God of Darkness cannot be left out. Unlike my time as a mere mortal at best, I was able to see for sure what level the Dark God had reached. Its a monster I was sure. Even if I used all of my strongest cards, that was a monster I might not be able to face. Just because this side reached the realm of ancient divinity, it couldnt be said to be equal to that one. In front of such an overwhelming presence, I instinctively even prepared a defensive posture. [Hey. ] One, and that for a while. [There is nothing to be so nervous about. ] Soon, the moment when the god of darkness sat at the table in the center of the flower garden, spoke softly and smiled. [As I said from the first time we met, please know that I am not your enemy. ] yes. I know. You are the dark god Thank you for caring about me [ You still treat me so hard. sadly. I want it to be more friendly than that. ] yes? [Hey, cant you be respected by a godhead with whom you have a good rtionship? You, too, have now fully attained the status of a divinity. ] then I understand. As it was, I realized that the tone of the dark god was strangely caring, so I treated itfortably. Considering that the God of Darkness has shown a consistent liking for this side anyway, there is no need to be more vignt. Recalling that, as he approached the center of the garden where the god of darkness was, he lowered his excessive formality to an appropriate level. Only then did the dark god put a smile on his lips. [Whoops. okay. hey Thats it. Now Ive learned how to express my affection] First of all, I want to ask you something. [ huh? ] Why did you bring me here? It seemed that the God of Darkness wanted to have a conversation with this side, but he had no intention of doing so. I know that many ancient deities have favor with me. It was natural. But even so, there is no way you can pay a huge price to the tower and change the 27th floor ordeal. There was no such thing as goodness without a price in the world. A lot of ancient deities wanted something from you, so they gave a lot of money to help the Tower of Trials. Knowing that, I didnt sendplete trust to the other person. I just look straight at the dark god and ask him to tell me what that monstrous ancient deity wants. And [Sad. ] Actually, this prediction was not wrong. [That I cant deny anything in your words. ] It was a perfect answer without a single wrong answer. *** [True] The dark god smiled softly and bitterly under the ck robe. [ okay. hey Nothing you said was wrong. Many ancient deities want something from you. ] But I nodded and answered calmly. I knew it. This is within the range of predictions. Most of the ancient deities Ive seen so far while climbing the tower have been concerned with what level Ill reach. That means that most of the ancient deities are interested in the fact that the Tower of Trials is nurturing me into a tool that can be used for some purpose. At least most of the ancient gods cared about the Tower of Trials subordinating me as a tool. That means one thing. Its a hostile rtionship with the Tower of Trials. Many ancient deities do not want the Tower of Trials to achieve some purpose. [ . ] And the God of Darkness, who heard that, replied by touching his lips with his thin fingers. [Is it a hostile rtionship. Aha. It could be interpreted that way. But thats not all. hey ] Then. [Simple. What the Tower of Trials wants is the worst kind of peace. There is no divinity that agrees with the future that grotesque desires. not even one. ] . [This is all the information I can give right now. unfortunately. I am also entangled in the causality established by the Tower of Trials, so there is no way I can tell you. ] Is that so? Can not help it. Since the Tower of Trials is a transcendental structure that guards against monsters beyondmon sense, such as ancient deities, it cannot escape thew of causality. Somehow, even though he had be an ancient god, he didnt know much about the tower, so it was regrettable, but there was no solution for this either. If you want to know about the Tower of Trials, youll have to find out the answer from the number of floors beyond. There is no need to plunge deep into delusion for which there is no simple answer. Then it was important to figure out what to do right now. As it was, I looked at the god of darkness and parted my lips. Assuming thats the case Even if it wasnt just the Tower of Trials, there was more information I needed to find out. The Pantheon. And that a number of ancient deities are in charge of this 27th floor ordeal. You should tell me what that means. Like this one. [If you dont have to, dont worry, I was thinking of answering everything about it. ] The God of Darkness nodded and said with a rxed smile. [Hey. It may not be particrly applicable to you, the challenger who climbs the Tower of Trials, but most of the gods who have reached the upper level belong to a huge group called the Pantheon. ] . [The trials on the 27th floor, originally hosted by the Tower of Ordeals, must have been the worst turning point for you. It means that it will be reced with a request from the ancient deities belonging to the pantheon. ] It means theyre going to ask me to do something there. [Thats right. ] I was able to grasp the situation roughly. Perhaps the Pantheon is an elite group of many high-ranking deities out there. The ordeal on the 27th floor was supposed to be turned into the worst by the Tower of Trials, but it was able to change it after a number of ancient deities led it. [This time, its an achievement you got because your growth was great. ] The Dark God said that as if he was proud of this side, but I shook my head. Most of the ancient deities wanted me to not move as the Tower intended, so I must have be this way anyway [No. ] ? However, the dark god answered coldly. [Most of the ancient deities love you. it definitely fits However, saving you is another thing. Its not like luck. ] What else is that? [Hey. Most of the ancient deities would have been coldly abandoned if you didnt live up to their expectations. I just tried my hand at seeing that your overwhelming power can stand against the tower. ] . [Is that all? Even if many ancient deities didnt help you, the divinity and spirit you showed at that time could have negotiated with the Tower. After all, most of the ancient deities were helping without harm. ] Thats a very realistic story. [Sorry if I feel bad. ] There is no reason to feel bad at all. Hearing that, I felt bittersweet, but then changed that feeling to a friendly one. Its simple. [? ] That means Im worthy even from the point of view of an ancient deity. [ . ] Then, since its been confirmed this time, theres no reason to feel bad. At that, I licked my lips with a smile mixed with twisted sympathy. So But You can tell me what its like to bemissioned by the Pantheon. Did you like that over there? [Its really like you. ] Seeing this, the god of darkness opened his mouth slightly in surprise and answered with a subtle smile. [The contents of the Manshinden side are not excessive, so I tried to change it, but I dont think its necessary. ] And. [The Manshinden side is asking you to recapture the holy relic and to punish any offending traitor. ] A holy relic? [Me and the god of arrogance, and all the holy relics of higher-ranking deities other than ancient deities were stolen by some kind of traitor. ] That must be a big deal. [ Indeed. Ah, I can give you enough exnation in advance about this. The hunt for the traitor who stole the relic is over. ] Then lets take a look. As I said that to the Dark God, she nodded and reached out her hand into the air. Her hand was buried in a darkness, and then the darkness beyond wriggled and changed shape. In the blink of an eye, the darkness touched by her hand was formed as if it were a single substance, and it took the form of a screen. [This is the where the traitor who the upper gods of the pantheon want to be punished is located. ] Before I knew it, a video of pretty good quality was emerging beyond the screen. [Scandia. ] It was a world that seemed to be rich in vitality, with a wide sky and a vastnd. He had the most peaceful disposition out of all the worlds he had seen while climbing the tower. To put it bluntly, it has a peacefulness close to Earth, but it seemed to be better than that. The Dark God spat out the words as if he knew that. [It is one of the rares in this universe where no god or monster is born. ] But she shook her head with a bitter voice as if she was sorry. [But its not like that anymore. ] Suddenly, after those words, I saw something hugeing to the in a video. After seeing that, I was able to notice a certain fact. [ okay. hey Since you are also an ancient deity, you seem to have noticed. that it is not ordinary. ] And. [Scandia. Landed on that rare, peaceful. Thats the traitor who escaped from the pantheon. ] The Dark God spoke of him with a disy of shallow anger. [God of birth. Dyrmoa. That is the traitor who ran away after taking the holy relic of the pantheon. Thats it. ] next moment. [And its not like he doesnt know the subject even though he reached an ancient deity more than a hundred years ago at most. ] The fact that I noticed came out of her mouth, and our eyes met. [The punishment of the ancient deity. ] That means one thing. [Thats what the Pantheon side is actually expecting a lot from you. ] 27th floor. Bondi where I had to face the worst. And as a result of twisting the divergence, the content of the ordeal at the end was to defeat the ancient deity. Chapter 394 394. The 27th floor (5) was the worst. . An ancient deity. It refers to a person who has transformed into an existence equivalent to the conceptual divinity itself and engraved immortality in this universe. Even if it is said to be the weakest of the ancient deities, its power will not beparable to those of higher deities. Knowing that, I drool. Really It was absurd. It was all the more so because he was aware that this side was the closest to the weakest of the ancient deities. In fact, the pantheon side was like asking me to solve a problem that was outside my scope. Its difficult. I had to put a smile on my face once in a while. Ive be strong enough to be able to stand against the Tower of Trials a bit, but thats not a level of difficultyparable to killing an ancient deity. Not even that. Originally, an ancient deity would have been converted into a conceptual divinity and imprinted its concept and existence on the universe itself. Even if I win with the difference of pure power, it doesnt mean that I canpletely get rid of the ancient deity itself. In any case, the ancient deity does not die until the concept divinity itself is destroyed. however, I cant say that its impossible at all. I am. It has a slight chance of prating the immortality of the ancient deity. Of course, there is no way at all. In fact, even if the ancient deity became the concept divinity itself in this universe and achieved immortality, is it nothing without the concept divinity? If so, there was a means to try. But even so, I didnt have a firm belief that I could y an ancient deity with certainty, so I wasnt too keen on it. It is a gamble with a slim chance of sess. Do you think its possible for me to get rid of the concept of divinity itself in an ancient deity? When I asked him that question, frowning, the god of darkness shook his head. [Hey. Not really. I just saw the possibility that it might be. If you dont like that, I can adjust the request of the Manshinden. ] . [Whoops. Isnt the original goal of the pantheon only to steal the holy relic? Then thats all you need to do. There is no need to rush. ] Is that so? I noticed. The God of Darkness was trying to be considerate by coordinating the request of the pantheon as I wished. If this side didnt really want it, the ordeal on the 27th floor could be cleared by recapturing the sacred relics stolen by the pantheon instead of destroying the ancient deities. Actually, its better than getting rid of the ancient divinity itself. But If you just want to clear the 27th floor ordeal, it would be the right thing to aim for recapturing the holy relics from the ancient deities. Why? I didnt like it that much. Up until now, I was able to reach the level of an ancient deity after countless struggles while climbing the tower. High risk high return. Originally, the reason why this side was able to be so strong was because of the challenging spirit that did not avoid any struggle. Only then did I realize what a sense of heterogeneity was brewing inside me. The chances of winning are low? It was worth it. dog sound. Up until now, I hadnt shied away from fighting any formidable enemy. What this side pursues is to reach beyond that ancient realm of divinity after building divinity. In fact, building a stronghold that can ovee the Tower of Trials must be the very utopia I desire. Thats not what Im thinking about. If so, is there a fixed answer? There is no need for you to help me clear the 27th floor trials easily. It was simple. It was high risk high return. There was nothing that would break the determination of this side, which had been defended while climbing the Tower of Trials. If he wanted to reach a lofty realm beyond the ancient deity, he had to go through trials worthy of it. The god of birth. Dyrmoa. I will ept the request from the Pantheon about the death of an ancient deity. Only then will you be able to reach the top of the ranks beyond those monstrous ancient deities. *** The Dark God said with an unbearable smile on his lips as if he was interested in this sides choice. [Hey. Are you serious? god of birth. Although Dirmoa is only a child, he is an ancient deity. The level may not be right for you yet] It doesnt matter. [ . ] Isnt it fun? To that, I smiled twistedly at the dark god and replied with a joyful expression. I wonder what the reward will be after I annihted the concept of divinity itself, an ancient deity. In fact, it was. Before I knew it, I was thinking of the reward I would get after winning against the god of birth called the Ancient Godhead. It was said that he only became an ancient deity about a hundred years ago, but despite this, it was clear that the god of birth had tremendous strength. At least to the same level as this one. So I have no regrets about the choices I made. The dark god looked at me intently, then nodded and replied kindly. [Yeah. Hey. If its really your choice, its worth respecting enough. What a wonderful thing. ] And [Then there is no need to postpone it any longer. ] That was the moment. [Trial correctionplete.] System messages appeared in front of my eyes, and I felt an unknown air current slowly enveloping my body. Enter the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Hard The subject of the ordeal is Request. I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result at the end of their choice. That means one thing. The 27th floor ordeal begins. Time remaining C 1 month Order breakthrough condition C Completely kill Dirmoa, the deity of birth in Scandia Order failure condition C death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time Correction Breakthrough Reward C Numerous Sacred Catalogs (SSS+) Order Failure Penalty C Death [ For the time being, the Tower of Trials will not be able to affect you, so it will be enough not to worry. ] And. [Whoops. I hope your choice will lead to no regrets, child.e and go ] Soon after, the god of darkness gently waved his hand and said goodbye. Then Ill see youter. In an instant, the world turned into darkness. *** It literally changes the whole world. At the very least, the world itself haspletely changed, rather than the space itself slightly changing. Noticing that, I raised my head and at the same time expanded my bodily senses to figure out what kind of space I was in. It felt. Before I knew it, I had arrived at a certain meadow by the god of darkness. I could immediately figure out what kind of world this was without having to think about it. Is it Scandia? Indeed, it matched almost perfectly with the world of Scandia that the God of Darkness had shown in advance. Its a little different, but its the same. Everywhere in the world was revealing freshness while embracing the vitality of Mother Nature. There was no monster or monster-like enemy to fight here. If I had to question it, should I say that it is simr to the Earth before the cataclysm? By the way But even so, there was definitely a sense of heterogeneity. What is this again? Suddenly, I felt that the vitality felt across thend of Scandia had diminished to some extent. For some reason, it was sensed that life force in various parts of the world of Scandia was gradually disappearing at regr intervals. There was no need to spread this magic far and wide, and I felt that it was tantly draining the life force from the world of Scandia itself. Its ridiculous. It feels like some sort of parasite has attached itself to the world of Scandia itself. But, nevertheless, I did not think to go into more detail. After all, if I did something conspicuous as soon as I came here, the existence of this side would only be found out by the deity of birth somewhere in Scandia. It wasnt very wee. Ill have to do some more research first to find out something. but for a while. DThat was the worst. Suddenly, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled, and Damcheonwus tired voice came into my ears. -Huh. A god of darkness To think that I would end up in front of such a monstrous ancient deity I thought I would die trying not to offend that monster. Its amazing how you react like that. Am I also an ancient deity? But why are you so frightened? DHuh Its stupid. The Dark God is a monster that has probably lived the longest among the ancient deities. For example, if I had offended that monster, it would have been destroyed without any help. . As if I was dumbfounded, I tapped the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, and the answer came back immediately. -noisy! In front of that kind of monster, its only natural for everyone to be scared, not just me! Anyway, Ill be resting soon, so call me when theres a battle! Somehow, judging from Damcheonwus reaction, it seemed that he was psychologically shocked by the overwhelming divinity emitted by the god of darkness. It doesnt matter. But I wasnt worried about that. Although it is said that he became the blood demon swords ego anyway, isnt Damcheonwu also a challenger who climbed the Tower of Trials to the upper level? It will be fine with time without the need for this side to take care of it. Then it was clear what to do. Lets explore so as not to be discovered by an ancient deity somewhere in Scandia. From this sides point of view, first of all, it was necessary to know where the god of birth, one of the ancient deities, was. At least you should know where the birth god is so you can fight. In response, I prepared to continue my search while hiding my divinity and magical power as much as possible. And the chiji-jik! It was then. under. Is that the attendant of the pantheon from the Tower of Trials? What a shallow power. The space not far from where he was standing was distorted, and a white-haired man adorned with gold emerged. chuck. I am the seventh servant of the god of pride, Layen. I got a sense when I saw a gray-haired man dressed in gold, who roughly introduced himself as Raien. Originally, an insignificant apostle serving the god of darkness wanted toe here as an overseer, but the god of pride said he couldnt trust you at all. Perhaps the pantheon side sent something like that as support so that we could kill the ancient deity I came as an overseer on behalf of an apostle who served the god of darkness, so I thanked the god of pride foring. will have to be raised. I wasnt even that upset. A supervisor? Just Ha! If so, did you think I would trust someone like you, who was raised by the Tower of Trials? You need to follow my instructions as an agent of the pantheon of gods It just felt like a novel joke. Anything like you? step. The god of transcendence and death expresses his intent to kill with a serious expression at the words of an unreasonable apostle. [Are you kidding? ] The eyes on this side, unlike the corners of the mouth that smiled, were shining with a coolness. Chapter 395 395. The god of birth (1) The god of pride. Probably one of the ancient deities belonging to the pantheon . I dont really want to pay attention to the apostle who serves the god of arrogance. and. you. That means one thing. Are you going to stop talking nonsense about that? There was no need for this side to listen to Lyens nonsense until the end. The god of transcendence and death issues a final warning to an unlikely apostle. ] In an instant, I spit out a voice mixed with divine power and divine interference, implicitly revealing my strength to Ryan. However, fearing that this might be discovered by the birth god hiding in the world of Scandia, he poured his divinity into only one Ryen. It caused divinity pressure with delicate control added so that divinity would not be revealed to the deity of birth as much as possible. ! But Kuh! worms! I am! The seventh servant of one of the ancient deities, the god of pride! Even if I reveal my divinity, I think Ill get scared Is it because this side controlled the power so that the divinity would not be discovered by the deity of birth, so the situation was less understood? Before he knew it, Leyen was startled, but then became enraged and shouted proudly. Only then did I abandon the idea of lightly persuading others based on divinity. I just used an easier method of persuasion than using the Divinity. Aww! Kuk-!? In the blink of an eye, I stomp lightly andnd in front of Lyens nose, grabbing his face. Kwaaaak-. whatever? As it was, I spoke in a calm tone as if I was not interested. I knew for sure that one of the ancient deities, the god of pride, was your master. It was only then that Raien opened his eyes and shouted loudly with a twisted emotion on his lips. Kuhhh! okay!! The god of pride is one of the ancient deities! Unlike all fours, it is an ancient deity that has existed for hundreds of years! like you! Nothingpares to him but for a while. take no interest. under? You know at least that you are an apostle serving an ancient deity, the god of pride or something. I finished my words in a cold tone as I watched Raiens eyes harden. That doesnt mean youre an ancient deity, right? It was simple. Even if Ryen is an apostle serving one of the ancient deities, that in itself is nothing. If thats the case, seeing this side that has reached the state of ancient divinity, youre trying to build a one-sided top-down rtionship. I cant tolerate something like that. Dont you dare act condescending to me, the Hound of the Tower!! But For some reason, Lyen didnt understand what this side said, and even raised the blue divinity and became enraged. Not even that. Based on the overwhelming divine control ability, this side adjusted the level of divinity so as not to be noticed by the ancient god, but Lyen did not. Raiens divinity flows out and scatters uncontrolled energy outside. But it didnt matter. Divine < words > are used. You can consume divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a lot of holy power is consumed for words that interfere with thews of the world. Go back. ] After all, just by mixing the divine < Remorse > with the divine < Eonryung >, he was able topletely control the opponents divinity. Kwazijik-! In an instant, Rayens divine power was crushed and returned from the outside to the inside. In fact, since the divinity was restrained so that it could no longer be moved by the divinity < remorse >, it could no longer reveal its strength. Recognizing this, Raiens face turned white and frightened, then he parted his lips as if he couldnt understand. What the hell is this! Only. Kwaaaak-! Just like that, I squeezed her face harder as if I wouldnt allow her words. Ouch!! and. Didnt the Pantheon say that they were wary of me saying that I might be fooling around? Only then did I say, looking at Ryans frightened eyes as if giving a one-sided notice. Go and tell them you dont have to worry about that. Kuh! go go? As a pantheon? I cant do that without you No. It would be better to just return to the pantheon at this point. You dont need to be persuaded. That way, I can avoid causing misfortune by killing the Apostle of the Ancient Godhead, right? Before I knew it, Lyens face had turned infinitely pale, like prey in front of a predator. *** In an instant, Raien quickly returned to the pantheon without adding a word. Achievement Adjuster of Terror has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement increases. Agility +4 It rises. Its annoying. At that, I sighed as I stared nkly at the ce where Lyen had disappeared. Perhaps, there was a possibility that Rayen, an apostle sent by the god of pride, did note here as an agent of the pantheon. In fact, even the pantheon side knows that this side has reached the level of an ancient deity, but there is no way thatmon sense would send an apostle like that to be a supervisor. Then there was only one guess. A god of arrogance. I almost guessed why it was like this. Perhaps one of the ancient deities, the god of arrogance, added an apostle to test his tendency. But that doesnt mean the situation is better than for the Pantheon side to be wary of this side. The god of pride has enough status to be called one of the ancient gods, and the opinion of the pantheon seems to be strongly influenced by the ancient gods. Which means its not a good situation, at least on this side. But. There is no need to worry right now. Its not something to think about right now. As for this, many ancient deities were watching with interest. To put it bluntly, there is a high possibility that a number of ancient deities will show their liking for me and subside the bacsh before the pantheonists do their tricks. Rather than that, what needs to be donees first. As it was, I slightly closed my eyes and quietly extended my divinity and magical energy to the earth. If I hadnt dealt with a bad guy like Bondi Lyen, I would have spent time searching, but now I cant waste more time, so I need to use a slightly risky search method. In addition to the ability to hide the presence gained while climbing the tower, the overwhelming sense gained from bing an ancient deity hides divinity and magical powers undetected. And how long did you do that? Before I knew it, I was able to almost perfectly grasp theposition of the world itself, called Scandia, based on divinity and magical power. Simply put. I think I know roughly. Only then did I open my slightly closed eyes, touch the corners of my mouth, and conclude. The world is heading towards its end. Scandia. The world, which would have been rich in vitality until the birth god appeared, ising to an end. In fact, every time a certain amount of time passed, the life force of the world itself called Scandia was being absorbed into one ce. That means one thing. It must be that the god of birth has no intention of staying in Scandia for long. I didnt have much time. Diremoa, who is said to be the god of birth, seemed to be intending to absorb and destroy every life force in this Scandian world. Perhaps, in the near future, Scandias nature will be transformed into something far from peaceful. After that, it was certain that even the god of birth would not stay here. Is the god of birth thinking of moving after draining all of the life force from the world of Scandia itself? Then there is no time to procrastinate anymore. As it was, I leaped as if pushing off the ground and headed for the center where Scandias life force was absorbed. In fact, there was no confusion because they perfectly grasped all of Scandia based on divinity and magical powers, except where it was believed that there was an ancient deity. Chak-. Thats correct. and. Before I knew it, Inded lightly on the ground and saw the ce where the ancient deity was supposed to be. Is it a barrier made of divinity? However As if this was the residence of an ancient deity, in the center of Scandia there was a green divinity like a huge dome. If you cant pass through that barrier made of divinity, the answer would be to break it. However, despite this, I didnt carelessly break the green barrier made of divinity and looked at it nkly. There is absolutely no need for this to be discovered right away. Still, its worth a try. next moment. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy Control >. . *It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spirit that you possess. In an instant, I activated one of the divine powers while wearing the < Spirit Tuning > of the transcendence myth. Use divine < protection > Consumes divine power to give out a protection that excludes external divinities once . Originally, the divinity < Divine Protection > has the effect of excluding external divinities. If it can be partially adjusted based on the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, this side should be able to pass through the barrier made of divinity as well. It was a better option than mindlessly destroying the obstacles in front of me, so I reached out to the green barrier made of divinity, hoping that this method would work. And Tung-. It was a bit risky. seded. Even if it is a sacred barrier created by an ancient deity, it can be destroyed if it is the effect of the divine authority supported by the < Spirit Tuning > of the transcendence myth. Thats pretty easy too. It was the moment when I realized a new fact about him and tried to explore the ce beyond the divine barrier with a little pleasure. [ what the. ] Suddenly, as soon as I stepped over the divine barrier, I heard a divine voice in my ears. I didnt expect to be discovered right away. Soon, the moment I clicked my tongue and was about to spit out my murderous intent. [I thought there would still be invitees left. ] For some reason, I stopped my actions when I noticed that there was no intent to kill or hostility in the other persons voice. Inviter? Only then did I turn my head slowly and see a man with anguid impression standing at the source of the sound. Did he misunderstand this as an inviter who coulde here? For some reason, the man with anguid impression wearing that divinity on the outside let out a deep sigh and spat out annoyance as if he was dumbfounded. There were no enemies there. [ you. ] realized. [Are you one of the deities invited by the god of birth, like me? ] In fact, I was being treated the same as that man with anguid impression who reveals divinity that is equivalent to that official godhead. [ under-. Seriously, this guy is also one of the colleagues who will work together under the god of birth. Its annoying. Anyway, if youre here for the first time, hurry up and follow me. ] Not even that. One of thepanions to be with under the god of birth? That man who appeared suddenly and appeared to be a formal godhead was spitting out new information. But even so, I pretended to be rxed and didnt show panic. It seemed that it was possible to understand the situation. To that, I simply replied to the other persons words. [Could there be more deities here besides me? ] [ Really me. Isnt that natural? One of the ancient deities, the god of birth, said he would ept them as a faction. He said he would share the holy relics he stole from the pantheon. ] [Ah ] [Tsk tsk. Except for a fool like you, everyone is waiting for the god of birth in the banquet hall, right? He is the only ancient deity who will ept us, who were stamped by the pantheon, into one faction. ] [ . ] That means one thing. [I see] Its nothing else The god of transcendence and death feels deep greed and her eyes twinkle . It seemed that there was a lot of experience to obtain divinity before hunting. Chapter 396 396. God of birth (2) Pantheon. Originally, ording to the exnation given by the god of darkness, the ce is like a collection of numerous deities. In a word, most of those who reached a high level based on concept divinity belonged to the pantheon. I never thought that the god of birth would gather a lot of official deities who were excluded by the pantheon That means one thing. True In fact, even if you kill every godhead here, no problem will arise. Isnt that great? It was worth it. Didnt the pantheon say that even some of the ancient deities belonged to it? Perhaps the influence of the pantheon in this universe is by no means small. I thought there wouldnt be another chance to kill a lot of gods except in a ce like the battlefield of the gods. Then it was just that simple. Official deities or high-ranking deities who were trying to establish a new faction centered on the god of birth could be killed without hesitation. After all, they want to have an ancient deity like the god of birth as their backbone, so no matter how many times they kill them, no matter how many times they kill them, there will be no retaliation. Only then did I slowly put a smile on my lips. Its fun. Before I knew it, I was getting an outline of what kind of reward I would get after winning against the ancient gods and many higher gods. Even if its not at least the top rank among the ancient deities, Ill be able to reach the middle. Now, he was approaching the level of a god of darkness, demon or dragon god. If you can achieve a perfect victory against the God of Birth, who is presumed to have skills simr to yours among the ancient deities, you will get what you want. But even so, I did not let go of tension and vignce toward one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. The god of birth did not belong to one of the ancient deities, so he said that he even stole a holy relic from the pantheon Of course. Its hard to say that this side will win. Even if he joined the ranks of an ancient deity about a hundred years ago, the god of birth also has the qualifications to be called an ancient deity. And thats not all. Wouldnt the birth god be able to create more variables in the battle thanks to stealing the holy relics from the pantheon? It was necessary to establish a situation favorable to this side as much as possible. First of all, I need to learn a bit about the god of birth. The thought ended with that. [Hey-. ] Its nothing else [I think all the invitees have arrived? ] Before I knew it, a man with anguid impression, who had offered to guide me around, started talking to me with a grin. [Now, this is the banquet hall to wait for the god of birth. cool isnt it Its a great ce considering the treatment youve received from the Pantheon. ] Only then did I wake up from my thoughts, raise my head, and quickly finished grasping my surroundings. It seems that there are dozens of official deities or high-ranking deities. It was great. If I had to question it, should I say its like watching a buffet with a lot of food? The idea of obtaining the divinity of numerous concepts aroused a truly delightful feeling. As I was still shining my eyes, a drowsy man next to me spat out nonsense as if he had misunderstood something. [ what the. Behaving like a rookie. Hey, you dont have to be so nervous, right? Its likerades who will work as a faction under each others birth god. Lets go and have a good chat. ] I think this side is probably nervous seeing the many deities gathered in the banquet hall [ Yes. That wouldnt be bad either. lets go ] To that, I replied with an infinitely friendly smile to the man with anguid impression. [Actually, there are quite a few things I want to know about the deities in this banquet hall. ] In fact, this one also felt the need to find out about the rewards to be obtained through necromancy. [Im really looking forward to it. ] That too, very definitely. *** Time passed quickly. Before I knew it, I was able to follow anguid man around the banquet hall. In fact, they didnt seem to have any doubts that this side hade here with a request from the pantheon. There will be plenty of time to find out what kind of trick the god of birth is trying to do. Not even that. [Come to think of it, my introduction waste. ] As if feeling some goodwill toward this side, he ended his self-introduction in a friendly way. [God of Compression. Thats me. You canpress things and deal with them. Well, they do have names from their mortal days, but they were abandoned hundreds of years ago. Just call it the god ofpression. ] Maybe you want to share a friendly rtionship with this person [Yeah. ] So, I continued the conversation by mingling with thepression god. It didnt feel too bad to talk, since I was nning to continue gathering information here anyway. It was all the more so because, under the assumption that he was lucky, he might be able to get something out of a conversation with the God of Compression. [So] Dan. [What kind of god are you? ] I had no intention of letting anyone know about this side, so I calmly spit out a lie. Wouldnt it just be a new name that would not go unnoticed even if I used it openly? Its nothing else [ God of Harvest. ] right away. It was named after one of the masters of the conceptual divinity obtained long ago on the battlefield of the gods. To be honest, its not even a lie. In fact, from the moment he possessed the divinity < Harvest >, he was fully qualified to call himself a god of harvest. [Hmm. ok. what looks good It doesnt even look like an angr divinity. Maybe I wont have such a bad rtionship with you. lets get along ] In fact, there was no sign of suspicion on the other side. [By the way Did you say you were curious about the deities under the god of birth? I can tell you that, so you can ask. ] To that, I nodded and asked what I was most curious about. [First of all, I want to know what kind of person the birth god is. ] But [ uh. A birth god? about him? well. Few people know that, right? You probably know that he became an ancient deity about a hundred years ago at most. what. ] It didnt mean much. [Since he is an ancient deity, not many people know about him. ] In fact, since it is one of the ancient deities, it seemed that meaningful information about the god of birth had not been resolved. Is it true that nothing is known about it, befitting the status of an ancient god in its own way? But even so, I wasnt disappointed. After all, isnt there enough time to find out about the god of birth? After a little thought, I spoke to thepression god as if I was curious. [Then, what level are the deities invited by the god of birth? ] And [Pretty good in its own way. ] The God of Compression listened to the question posed by this side and answered as if it were simple. [Even though they were excluded from the pantheon in the first ce, they were invited by one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, so they couldnt be insignificant. ] [ . ] [ Its roughly the same level as you and me. It feels like it straddles the gap between a formal deity and a higher deity. Oh, there are other high-ranking deities, but its not a big difference. ] [ It seems so. ] At that, I nodded and gave off a cold look. None of the divinities in the banquet hall in front of me were exceptional. To put it bluntly, should I say that he has attained a level of divinity that is roughly simr to the god ofpression or a little higher than that? At this point, I got a feeling. Its possible. It was simple. If this side can strike first, Ill be able to kill them all in one go. Before I knew it, I was convinced that I could annihte countless deities here. Its interesting. Not even that. Just by showing that he was curious about this side, thepression god gave me a lot of information without any vignce. As a result, I settled down in a corner of the banquet hall and quietly listened to the stories thepression god told me. [ ah-. god of the sea. I understand that concept divinity can gather and manipte arge amount of seawater anywhere in the world. that guy is strong ] [ Hmm. God of Loss. Pretty bad, but strong? The concept divinity itself isnt very strong, but the synergy with the myths built up by myself is great] [Oh. imaginary god. Before he was excluded from the pantheon, he was known as one of the top deities, maybe? It was very popr because it could handle virtual space with concept divinity] It was fun. Its like listening to an exnation of how to use a certain product. As it was, I nodded my head and finished collecting information only after hearing what concept divinities many deities had and how to use them. [Then, let me ask you onest question. ] Soon, the moment when this side gave off a cold look and asked thest question. [Where is the holy relic that the god of birth is said to have stolen from the pantheon? ] Hearing this, thepression god frowned and acted as if he had heard something unknown. [ Thats right, the god of birth must have it. Because it is an ancient divine relic stolen from the god of darkness and the god of pride. Didnt he tell you when he invited you? After absorbing the power of Scandia, the god of birth will distribute the holy relic to everyone. Until then, no one knows where the relic is. ] [ Then, where did the god of birth hide? ] [ Hey. Isnt that a story everyone already knows? The god of birth said that he couldnt reveal himself until he absorbed all of Scandias own life force. Perhaps even the Ancient Godhead will not know where he is. ] [ Thats really unfortunate. ] At that, I clicked my tongue in regret. If this side had been able to find out where the birth god was, it would have been possible to capture the victor by a surprise attack. However, this did not mean that there was no ie at all. In fact, havent you heard that the god of birth cant be active until the rich vitality inherent in the world of Scandia itself is exhausted? Then it was clear what to do. [Its fortunate that I have time to pack an appetizer. ] It was simple. Arent all the deities here betraying the pantheon by following the god of birth? After all, when the deity of birth awakens, they will all be nothing more than deities who will be hostile to this side, so there was no need to keep them alive. [Appetizer] But [You you you! ] Did the God of Compression realize that what you are saying is strange? [He was not an inviter, but a traitor!? ] Suddenly, the god ofpression made an expression of mixed surprise and anger and spat out words. A traitor? It didnt matter. Can it be? As it was, I said calmly with a cold expression on my face. Unfortunately There is no need to dy anymore, since youve got everything you can get here. The god of transcendence and deathughs at the nonsense of a godhead that is not like any other. ] And. [ therefore. ] next moment. The Authority skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. [Just shut up and die.] In an instant, the ck starlight that appeared in the air swept around like crazy, engulfing the surrounding space. The skill Starlight Expansion is strongly activated. All types of starlight are greatly expanded, resulting in a performance improvement of up to 4 times. QAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Its also very fancy. Chapter 397 397. God of birth (3) In an instant, ck starlight is scattered in all directions, and the light of life diminishes at once. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against the formal deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.41%. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against the formal deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.34%. By winning the opponent, 0.29% of [Transcendence] is It was understandable. Isnt the divinity < Death > a power worthpeting for the top among the conceptual divinities that this side possesses? Just by touching the divine < death >, the notion of the end itself of all things erodes its essence and dyes it with pure light of death. Its not the power to block official deities that arent just high-ranking deities. It was truly one of the strongest means of attack. Thats because this is a blow with my concept divinity, an ancient deity. Not even that. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy Control >. . It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spirit that you possess. You can tune the formless power to the spirit, and apply the effect of the spirit to that power. The moment when the level itself built up as an ancient deity was mixed with the ck starlight. Kwakjijijijijijijik! In the blink of an eye, a destructive roar erupted,pletely devastating the entire space. [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ] Only. [Kuu! ] [ Khehehe! Its a raid! Its an enemy-! hurry-! Come on, lets tear that son of a bitch apart! ] [ Dare! dare! To hurt me, the lord of all these seas!? I will tear you apart and kill you! ] Still, if youre a high-ranking deity, do you think you have the talent to endure the divinity < death > of this side? Yes I smiled twistedly as I looked around at the deities who had not lost the light of life even though the entire area had been devastated. Its tenacious. All the high-ranking deities in front of me were radiating different divinities. Did I finally realize the seriousness of the situation? Even if you dont know that this is an ancient deity, he seems to have realized that it is an opponent that you can barely defeat if you work together Well, anyway. It didnt matter. In fact, even if the enemies in front of me were high-ranking gods, they didnt show any level of power that would reach that of an ancient god. To put it bluntly, it is the level of divinity at the lowest level among the upper deities. Then, is there anything difficult about it? At that, I immediately pulled out the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword and tried to run away holding them in both hands. But Due to Shinseong < Compression >, the pressure of Shinseong presses the challenger Seongyoon Han . Ship traitor! Where do you dare to go! I think Ill leave you alone ] Despite being hit by the holy light constructed by our divinity < Death >, how did the knight revive? Before he knew it, the god ofpression, standing up with his bloodstained body, performed an altercation to oppress this side with his conceptual divinity. Only then did I turn my head and look at the god ofpression without a change in expression, then part my lips and say, therefore. And The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Immediately moves to a desired point within sight by consuming holy power. I am like you. How many times do I have to say that I was never on the same side with him in the first ce? At the end of that, I moved in an instant in front of the god ofpression and drew a sword as if shing it down. Kwajijik-! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the official godhead brought her 0.42% closer to [Transcendence]. Absorbed the spirit of Baian, the god ofpression. . Annoying. At that, I brushed off the blood on the Blood Heaven Demon Sword as if it were annoying and let out an annoyed voice. However, even so, the high-ranking deities did not be frightened when they saw this side. Most of the higher level gods seemed to think this was a kind of opportunity, so they strongly activated their concept divinities. Looking at it, I smiled. Its amazing. Truly overwhelming power rages like a storm. but. but for a while. Thats it. next moment. Divinity < Words > are used. Sacred power can be consumed to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a lot of divine power is consumed for Words that interfere with thews of the world. Stop. Aww! In the blink of an eye, the Divine < Emperor > and the Divine < Remorse > were activated, and the torrent of innumerable divinities greatly slowed down and almost stopped. [Uh uh uh!? ] [What else is this ] [Kuh! The activating and manipting of divinity is so slow? What the hell did that freak monster kid do!! ] I was surprised to see that the higher level deities who saw it acted as if they were astonished. Is this going to happen? It was natural. Originally, even if the synergy between the divine < Eonryeong > and the divine < repentance > should not have worked very well at the higher level of the deity. Even if it was the lowest level enemy among the top deities, that shouldnt have changed. However, a smile formed on his lips when he saw that most of the concept divinities among the top deities had noticeably slowed down. That means one thing. Does that mean Im slowly moving toward a higher realm thats different from that of a higher deity? Before I knew it, I also got out of the realm of the lowest level among the ancient gods and got on the upward trajectory. Its fun. and. Chara-! The divine power exclusive power List is activated. You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m . Anyone who continues to fight for more than 44 minutes while being listed on the list of death gods will be eroded by the divine < death >. Did you say that the god of birth could not be found even if an ancient deity came? As it was, I parted my lips and said with a twisted smile on my lips. Then my job is simple. If this sides thoughts were correct, there was no need to bother to find the god of birth. Isnt it enough if you dont get anything you want without the god of birth appearing in person? Its nothing different. Kwakjijijijikjik! Shinhwa < Incarnation of the End > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < End >. . From now on, the effect of < Sentence > will be added to challenger Han Seong-yoons sacred operation. When < Sentence > is activated, you can consume divine power to corrupt a specific opponents rank. This is the god of birth . If you dont achieve any of your desired goals, the other side will inevitably appear. The god of transcendence and death has his eyes on Scandias life force and licks his lips. [ Lets see if the god of birth doesnt appear even if I kill all of you and extort Scandias life force. ] Just like that, I shed my eyes mixed with malice and greed and gave off even more strength. *** Winning wasnt that difficult. Aplishment Achievement has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 10. . In an instant, the green particles from Scandia and the higher deities are absorbed and disappear here. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-. It was the essence of life force extracted based on the myth < Incarnation of the End >. All of the top deities were in a dying state and were slowly facing death. Just by activating the Divine < Death > a little stronger, most of the higher level Divine Powers die instantly. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a higher deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.81%. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a higher-ranked deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.74%. By winning the opponent, [Transcendence] increases by 0.69% It really kills two birds with one stone. I nodded my head with a satisfied expression on my face. Did it have to be like this in the first ce? It was great. I was intercepting all the leaking parts of Scandias vitality, as well as extracting and obtaining the vitality and divinity of numerous high-ranking gods. As much as possible, what the god of birth wants is not to be able to obtain anything. In addition to being the best way to summon the deity of birth, it is also one of the gods who can benefit enormously. The efficiency has risen tremendously. Not even that. It looks like Im going to get out of here at the weakest level of the ancient deity Before I knew it, I felt the divinity filling up in my body and felt the pleasure of growth. Based on the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence > and necromancy, it was a great achievement. However, it didnt seem like he waspletely out of the weakest level among the ancient gods, as if it was not enough to ughter the higher gods. Its ambiguous. Of course, there is no need to worry too much. Isnt the reason why he came here to escape from the lowest stage of the ancient gods? If we can face the strong enemy we desire, then the level of divinity will grow at once. So, instead of continuing my meaningless worries, I enjoyed the leisurely feeling of gathering vitality scattered all over the world. DCrazy bastard but DDo you really really think that one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, falls for thisme provocation? Suddenly, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled greatly, and Dam Tianyus voice sounded dumbfounded. DEven if you became an ancient deity at least a hundred years ago, there is no way that the deity of birth would be unaware of your tricks. I guess so. DPerhaps the god of birth also noticed that you were provoking him and trying to bring him down, so the god of birth could just run away without having to respond That cant be. I replied with a smile as if I was dumbfounded. From my point of view, the god of birth will definitely appear here. -Why are you so sure? Theres no reason to be sure that helle here Thats because if I were the god of birth, I would have done that. D It was certain. One of the ancient deities, the god of birth, will appear here. Even if its not an ancient deity, but a higher deity, isnt it basically equipped with limitless arrogance because the mind is polluted by the concept divinity? How much more Then the prediction was simple. I would do it even more if I knew that this side had a not so high rank among the ancient gods. and. like now. In fact, it was. ! Suddenly, a whirlwind of reddish wind whirled from the empty sky, unleashing an overwhelming force that crushed the world itself. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu! Its not even that. Suddenly, a whirlwind of red light swirled in the sky where there should have been nothing, and the space almost twisted and distorted. Its also very light. Just the fact that the energy of red light is whirling there makes the ground split apart and the sky is dyed red. And saw. . The moment when the sky, which should have been empty, waspletely dyed red. Woo woo woo woo! In an instant, the sky cracked open, revealing the owner of overwhelming power beyond it. [You are me! ] It was a red giant of overwhelming size with three eyes, and it was also a strong man who became an ancient deity and reached immortality over a hundred years ago. ah. It was only then that I felt the sensation of tingling all over my skin and felt a chill and a sense of triumph. I see. and. Thats right I realized. The god of birth looks at you, and the intent to kill mixed with rage shines. [You bastard!] The god of birth. The one who stole the holy relic from the original pantheon and ran away. It was a monster that had reached the level of an ancient god without any ws. Chapter 398 398. God of birth (4) In an instant, the space beyond the sky is torn apart, and a red giant of overwhelming size appears. Hard! god of birth. A traitor who stole a lot of holy relics from the pantheon and ran away as the god of darkness told him. It was an immortal perfecter who had reached the level of an ancient deity without any imperfections. and then. Its amazing I let out a drool as I felt both chills and a sense of triumph through my entire body. I didnt expect that the level of divinity would differ so greatly. It was worth it. As soon as I saw the god of birth, this side already finished figuring out, at least roughly, what kind of strength it had. Based on the depth of divinity and the numerous powers visible beyond it, I became aware of the gap between me and the enemy. Its just that the number of cases where I win is a level that should be treated as a miracle The gap between them was quiterge. It was said that the original birth god became an ancient god more than a hundred years ago, so I guessed that it was simr to this one or slightly stronger than that. Even more so, after killing all the high-ranking deities gathered in Scandia, they believed that they could fight each other on an equal footing as they built up more strength. It was an illusion. In fact, the epitome god seems to have achieved not only the immortality of the ancient deities, but more than that, so that the conception itself was wless. Unfortunately. Ill be thrilled. And The god of birth is looking at you and expressing his fierce murderous intent without hiding it. [You uh uh! ] The birth god shouted like a storm with three eyeballs wide open. [ Dare! ] Just by shouting in anger, the whole body is crushed by the creaking pressure, and the divinity shakes. [Only- God- Before- Of! Mouse-bird-mouse-go! Gun- Bang- Ji- Crab! ] Not even that. [Uh-dil-my-will-eul-beom-bo-ne-nya! ] Soon after, the god of birth slowly pulled out of the gap beyond the sky andnded lightly on the earth. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As it was, thend of Scandia copsed, and at once it became a tidal wave of soil and spread all over the ce. Coo-goo-goo-goo-! A terrifying sight that feels like the prelude to the apocalypse. In the blink of an eye, the radius of the area where the god of birthnded was covered with soil, sand, and dust, making it impossible to rely on sight. When ites to an ancient deity, vision is only an auxiliary sense, but even taking that into consideration, there is no need to stay within the opponents attack radius. So, he hurriedly spread his steel wings and moved to the sky. The authority skill Steel Wings is strongly activated. Thats very fast. Whoa-! It was only then that I was able to see what form the god of birth was taking from high in the sky. [Ah ah ah!! ] The god of birth was expressing his divinity in all directions with his red skin heated with anger. It was as if this side was feeling a lot of stress because they had stolen Scandias life force and killed all the high-ranking deities. In addition, the god of birth expressed his annoyance with a scream that did not even make sense, as if he could not calm down his excitement no matter what. but for a while. [Bu-R-G-Go! ] The god of birth gave a furious roar and then, holding the red divinity in his hand, touched the earth. I activate the divine < quake >, causing destruction in proportion to the consumption of holy power and life force. ] next moment. ! In an instant, the red divinity emitted by the god of birth poured out along with dirt in all directions with a huge impact. Just looking at it, you can see that it is not an attack with a narrow range that can be easily evaded. Then what you had to do was simple. Its nothing else Inherent skill Leave is strongly activated. Gives an absolute counter limited to the first blow. It was a counter. Cant the unique skill Leave provide a perfect counter only for the first attack? In response, I stretched out the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword to strike at the red energy of the divine < Geukjin >, but I felt a strong bacsh. gugg-. What is this again? And thats not all. Originally, the red divinity of the divine < Geukjin > should have returned to the opponents side due to the unique skill shedding. But this time it wasnt like that. Only the red wave of the divine < Gyeongjin > was slightly distorted and the trajectory was subtly modified, and no counters were made. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! As a result, I had to watch as thendmarks of Scandia were horribly destroyed while narrowly avoiding the aftermath of the divine earthquake. It was absurd. In fact, the unique skill obtained through necromancy could be regarded as another unique characteristic. Depending on the nature of the power, the direction of growth, and the skill of the user, a unique characteristic should have the potential to be equivalent to a conceptual divinity. However, in front of the supernatural ability of divinity lightly exuded by one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, he could not even use all the effects of his unique skills. Its a real monster It was clear that it was real. I felt with my skin that this side was supposed to be the enemy and the target to fight was a monster among monsters that had reached the immortal state of being an ancient deity. Its just that while climbing the Tower of Trials, I forgot most of the ancient Godheads as they were faced with numerous restrictions. this is my enemy I cant believe the day wille when I will be able to deal with an ancient deity with pure power, without any restrictions from the Tower of Trials or causality. step. Really It was just pure sentiment. Its fun. In an instant, I smiled, covering my anxiety and fear with anticipation and sympathy. Even if it wasnt, it was something I had to do. This is more like a kind of inevitability. As a matter of fact, if I dont stop climbing the Tower of Trials, Ill be fighting a formidable enemy like an ancient deity. Even if thats not the case, an ancient deity like the god of despair, fall, and madness who knows that this side is on Earth will do something big someday. Lets do it. If so, this was just an opportunity for growth. I wonder if I can surpass the immortality of the ancient godhead. I gripped my sword tightly with a twisted smile on my lips. *** The odds of winning were dim. The skill Battle eleration is activated.

Didnt the opponent in front of me achieve immortality by conceptualizing it like one of the ancient deities? Even if this side kills the deity of birth, that monster-like thing will be resurrected based on the conceptual divinity. Knowing that, I was cautious. There is only one possibility of sess. One of the unique characteristics of this side, and the conceptual divinity derived from its essence, had the possibility of chewing up the immortality of the ancient deity itself. Necromancy. It was simple. The Divine < Death > can control and deal with the death of all things. After countless struggles, I learned that divinity itself can be dyed with death. If this side can damage the immortality of the conceptual divinity based on the divinity < death >, the only way to victory will open. If I can erode the sacred < Death > by using the Shinigami list or other means, Ill have a chance of winning. I had to try. To him, I almost became a ray of light with countless skills, powers, and divinities wrapped around my body. However the deity of birth who saw it frowned greatly and then swung down the earth with his feet while wrapping the red divinity all over his body. next moment. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! [Nal- Bee- Les- Go-! ] In an instant, thend of Scandia shook, and an overwhelming shockwave swept the entire space. The god of birth feels dissimr to you and expresses displeasure. ] And thats not all. Divine < Strike > is activated, and the physical blow is greatly strengthened in proportion to the consumption of vitality . From this sides point of view, a physical blow mixed with divine supernatural powers is not a very effective choice. This is because even if you make a physical attack based on divine supernormal ability like this, there is a high probability of being blocked by the opponents divinity or mythology. But Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In fact, at the time of the ancient deity, the divine strike and the strengthening of the divine supernormal ability werebined to produce a killing power close to that of bombing. The unique skill Download is activated. Even if it is an attack that cannot be let go, it bes possible to pass it away. I felt it with my whole body and finally activated the unique skill Download. So, I was able to deflect the aftermath of the force to the outside. What But it wasnt perfect. Before I knew it, I realized that I was seriously injured despite the activation of my unique skill, Shedding. Of course, since there is the Ashville Fresh Blood among the Power Skills, it is not that difficult to recover from such an injury but after realizing that the opponents attack in front of me could not be perfectly shed, I couldnt help but feel regret. Its almost impossible to wait until the Divine < Death > is eroded by the death list. I didnt have much time. Theres a high probability that this isnt the power of the god of birth. Not even that. In fact, the divinity or physical abilities that the god of birth showed were far from the power of the original body. It means that it is possible for this side to reveal all of the cards in hand before finding out the divinity and ability of the opponent. then. There was only one solution. All or the Way. Nothing else The transcendence myth < Spirit Attunement > is activated. From now on, the divine effect of < Spirit Indomitable > will be added to Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation. You can designate an opponent and be equal to the opponent for [4 minutes]. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the increase in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitable > may be interrupted. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomous Control >. I can make it work. It was simple. Designationplete. Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > begins to equalize the level of the designated opponent. From now on, for [4 minutes], all types of levels will be equal to the opponent in front of you, and the level of Rising can put a lot of pressure on you. Spiritual indomitability. An effect that made it possible to fight even temporarily with a demon, one of the ancient deities. Even if it is the highest level of the ancient deity, it activates the same power as a cheat key that can catch up. Chapter 399 399. God of birth (5) From the beginning, there was only one solution. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy Control >. . It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spiritual attack you possess. You can tune the formless power to the spiritual attack and apply the effect of the spiritual attack to that power. Transcendence Myth. There was an answer in the unique power built up based on the divinity < Transcendence > while repeatedly traversing numerous battlefields. Even if this side loses the level of divinity or soul to the deity of birth, the means to ovee it are always at hand. Designationplete. Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > begins to equalize the level of the designated opponent. From now on, for [4 minutes], all types of levels will be equal to the opponent in front of you, and the level of The rise can put a lot of pressure on you. Just like now. Deed!! Before I knew it, I felt that the level of divinity and the level of the essential soul itself rapidly rose and became stronger in my body. Oh It was amazing. The transcendence myth always produces more than expected. It is truly a performance worthy of a hidden card. But that didnt surprise me. < Indomitable Spirit >. It had a truly wonderful effect, allowing even temporarily to face off against the demon god, who was one of the most powerful among the ancient deities. However Since the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > was activated for the middle-aged god of birth among the ancient deities, the misfortune of divinity expanding unbearably likest time did not ur. He put a twisted smile on my lips. Yeah. Im not saying that the god of birth is not at a level that I cant handle, unlike a real exhaust monster like a demon. Its fortunately out of misfortune. That was good news. In fact, even if I used the hidden card of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > on the demon I encountered in the Demon Realm, I could barely withstand the divinity. But that wasnt the case over there. By activating < Spirit Indomitability >, one of the divinity effects of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, you can adapt without any burden even though not only the level of the divinity itself but also the level beyond it has risen. Doesnt that mean that the possibility of victory is not far away? It was only then that I felt that I was on the same level with the other person, and burst intoughter at the tion that ran up my spinal cord. But The god of birth is greatly angered by your every single action. Non- Laughing- That- Nya!! ] Did the deity of birth ept it as a kind of mockery? Divinity < Strike > is activated, and the physical blow is greatly strengthened in proportion to the consumption of vitality. The god of birth opened his veins and concentrated the red divinity in his right hand and swung it like before. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! and. The skill Seeker of Fresh Blood is strongly activated. The power skill skill, Unextinguished Mortal me is strongly activated. Based on thebination of skills, a disaster entwined with blood and fire. The moment I raised up and confronted him. Divinity < Evil Eating > is used. Challenger Han Seong-yoons next attack has the power to consume the divinity. Kwajik-! In an instant, a power infinitely close to a disaster made of blood and fire poured over the other side, devouring the red divinity of the other party. Quagga gag gag gag! [ !? ] Not even that. Just like a wild beast, a disaster made of blood and fire burns the red giants left arm roughly. Only then did the birth god let out a panicked scream and struggled to shake off ck mes. But that couldnt have been possible. Originally, the unquenchable mortal me is one of the strongest attacking weapons that, depending on the amount of magic power, does not extinguish the fire until it devours everything in the opponent. Not to mention, since it was activated based on the assistance of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, it is not unterally weighed down by the opponents case. Even if he is one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, he will not be able to extinguish the ck fire without wasting any power. Knowing that, he continued to attack. ! In an instant, I fluttered the starlight of the shing with strong energy wrapped around the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword. Kkwajijijijijikjik! and. Quadd-. The god of birth feels the slightest bit of pain and narrows his eyes. [ ! ] Is it because the status of each others divinity has be the same? Before I knew it, I seeded in inflicting damage by breaking the red divine armor surrounding the birth god. However, despite the light scattering of the swords starlight on this side, it seemed that the god of birth had suffered quite a blow. but for a while. [You uh! ] The god of birth expressed his wrathful intent to kill, and the red divinity shone strongly. [ Dare, dare, dare! ] And. [Ji-mung-gae-ju-ma!!! ] next moment. coo goo-. The space in the sky was distorted and torn just in time for the god of birth to let out a scream filled with excitement. The myth < The nest of the parasitic > is activated, and the individual space of the god of birth is opened. And thats not all. As the birth god expressed his will, countless items slowly fell from the cracks in the space beyond the sky. Realized. Suddenly, the space in the sky was torn apart, and the divinity was imprinted on each and every item that appeared between them. At that, I opened my eyes wide. I cant believe this It meant one thing. Sacred relics? Its nothing else The Twisted and Polluted Crown of Insolence (SS-) exclusive effect Insolence of Insolence is activated, and the divinity takes on the quality of pollution. The Silence of Darkness Contained Essence (S+) exclusive effect Silence of Darkness is activated and darkness covers the whole body Prideful Symbol (S-) exclusive effect Pride Time is activated and concept divinity +15 It will be strengthened by % In fact, there were hundreds of items in front of me, all of which were holy relics. What. Not even that. The divinity < attachment > is activated and parasitizes on objects touched by the divinity, absorbing life force and controlling it. Tsutsutsu-. In the twinkling of an eye, the red divinity that originated from the god of birth was sticky and seeped into thend of Scandia and between the holy relics, giving off an ominous hue. Originally, the supernatural ability of a conceptual divinity, which is about the essence of the conceptualization of an ancient deity, is iparable to other supernatural abilities. So, its a simple story. The god of birth hates you and lets out a divine roar. ] God of birth. A traitor who stole numerous holy relics from the original pantheon Before he knew it, he did not stop at the numerous holy relics he stole from the pantheon, but even activated the concept of divinity, and began to exert the power of the ancient deity close to its maximum. *** Whoops! A lot changed in an instant. I didnt expect there to be so many holy relics that were stolen from the pantheon. Originally, the god of birth was not protected by any divinity, but after activating the holy relics, he was surrounded by numerous item effects. Its annoying. And thats not all. At this point, there is no point in using the hidden card of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >. Before he knew it, the god of birth was showing off his overwhelming power of scale, showing that even his fighting style had definitely changed. Its the worst from start to finish. Its nothing else coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! Unlike the victorious giants we encountered on the Battlefield of the Gods, taking a long-distance position is the real fighting style over there. The god of birth controlled the Scandian world itself and was pushing this side. This is not a metaphor. Just in a pure sense, the god of birth dominated the world itself, Scandia, and was demonstrating bizarre destructive power. Thats huge too. Quagga gag gag gag gag-! In the blink of an eye, thend of Scandia or beyond was dominated by the red divinity and began to move like a natural disaster. C Divinity < attachment > is activated, parasitizing on objects touched by divinity, absorbing life force, controlling it. Perhaps, based on the divinity that seems to be the divinity of the concept of birth, it seems to have gained influence over the world of Scandia itself It must be crazy. It felt like hell. Thend of Scandia became a tsunami or storm made of soil, and the vegetation seen beyond it became a kind of noose or skewer and swayed without giving them a chance to rest. And at speeds that easily exceed supersonic speeds. Its just that this side can continue to evade this not only because they used the hidden card of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, but also because they have overwhelming agility. The situation itself must be close to the worst. DWhat is this? no. DI knew that the god of birth was one of the ancient deities, but to think that he could control and handle a single world itself It was actually like that. DThis is. Before I knew it, Damcheonwu also let out a drool while shaking the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword as if he was dumbfounded. -Are you a monster? As if it was really possible to win against an ancient deity who could control and control even one world. Theres almost no chance of winning. But but. At that, I tightly gripped the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and my eyes shed. Thats not a reason for me to be scared. It was simple. The activation of < Indomitable Spirit >, one of the divine effects of the transcendent myth < Spirit Tuning >, has not ended. Even though the deity of birth is using numerous holy relics, it is only reinforcement within the line that does not affect the status of divinity or spirit. If so, there are still plenty of opportunities left. Its worth a try. and. Then I have to do what I have to do. next moment. Tung-! In the blink of an eye, I quickly descended from the lofty sky and became a ray of light to the god of birth and was almost shot down. ! step. Ku-gu-gu-gu-! Correspondingly, the god of birth counterattacked with attacks close to natural disasters based on the divine < birth >. Probably, after this side interrupts before descending down there, it will make it impossible to approach the opponent with divine < Strike > or divine < Quarkling >. Contrary to the behavior and tone of speech that seemed overwhelmingly less intelligent than the deities Ive seen so far, Ive been using annoying tactics. But I guess. Even after seeing that, I didnt stop, and while descending, I activated the exclusive effect of an item on my wrist. Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification is activated. Divinity < Birth > is returned to its pre-attack condition by Attack Nullification. Regressors Worn Wrist A cooldown of 30 minutes is created for the clock (SSS+) exclusive effect, Attack Nullification. Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+). Originally, it was one of the items I got as a reward for clearing the giant treebyrinth. At the very least, the Attack Nullification of the Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+) canceled the divine activation and bought a short time. Its not long. It didnt matter. After all, all I wanted was that little time that I could get by canceling the activation of Divinity < Birth >. This side was able to continue what was to be done simply by obtaining a short period of time for the god of birth to re-activate the divinity < birth >. However, difficulties still remain. I activate the divinity < Ecstasy > to cause destruction in proportion to the consumption of holy power and life force. Suddenly, a shock wave made of red divinity was generated by the divinity < Ecstasy >. This is a category within the assumption. In response, I immediately activated one of the conceptual divinities within my body and counteracted the divinity < Turning >. Its not different-. I activate the divinity < Victory > to eliminate one possibility that leads to defeat. By activating the concept divinity obtained after killing the god of victory on the battlefield of the gods, the divinity < Turning > itself was erased. shit. I had to roll my eyes at him. In fact, it is a loss that the cooldown was created from the returners worn-out wristwatch (SSS+) to the divine < Victory >. Perhaps it was a choice that could lead to the worst oue if he could not seed in this blow against the god of birth. Failure, then, is a synonym for death. Divine < Strike > is activated, and the physical damage is greatly strengthened in proportion to the consumption of vitality. However, failure cannot be avoided. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! An overwhelming shockwave is poured out. In fact, the divine < Strike > is a power that makes the physical blow infinitely stronger in proportion to the consumption of life force. That would be the strongest striker for the god of birth who can scrape out the life force from the world of Scandia itself. The unique skill Down is activated. Even an attack that cannot be parried will be able to be parried away . lifting moment. Crunchy-. In the blink of an eye, the detailed effect of the unique skill Sleep itself was distorted in front of the overwhelming power and hit the whole body. The skill Last Resistance is activated. Invalidates the fatal wound inflicted on you. All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills arepensated. The skill cooldown for one week . Time will be given. However, the means of defense still remain. As it was, I activated the skill Final Resistance, wiped away all the damage from my body, and raised my head. And saw. The image of the birth god standing in front of me staring this way with three eyes wide open as if he couldnt believe it. That means one thing. Checkmate. next moment. Using Divine < Death > Divine < Death > erodes all things ording to the users will. You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. !! [ !! ] In the blink of an eye, the deadly power of the divinity < Death > rode the twin swords and pierced the god of birth. *** Ancient deity. It refers to monsters with immortality that have be the very concept of this universe. In fact, bing an ancient deity was the same as bing a cosmic being with no more deaths. Kwakjijijijijijijik!! Even if he bes an ancient deity and cannot bear the thoughts of conceptual divinity, and his mind itself is polluted and can no longer continue to think normally, only his immortality will not change. That is one of thews of the universe. Even though his mind was contaminated to the point where he could not speak propernguage, the god of birth remembered only that fact, so he relied on his own immortality. and. The birth god feels great pain and lets out a divine scream. [ !! ] Knowing that, the birth god felt great pain and felt anger even while screaming. [Ke-ha-ah!! ] The god of birth, with his three eyes full of blood, removed Han Seong-yoon from his body with a blow mixed with divinity. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! And when the god of birth saw Han Seong-yoon tumble across thend of Scandia, he let out an angry shout. [Dare, dare, dare! ] It deserved it. [Bu-R-G-Go!! ] Originally, the god of birth was one of the cosmic monsters and was an ancient deity that was greatly treated since the days of the pantheon. He became an ancient deity more than a hundred years ago and achieved immortality through conceptualization, forgetting pain, death, and even his own self. At most, in the eyes of the god of birth, Han Seong-yoon felt like a worm climbing. [ I- is! ] It should have been just that, nothing more and nothing less. [Fire- Perish- This- everything! ] But [ All right! Bugs- or something! To me, its just an insignificant thorn!! At least this slight wound can be repaired right away. ] It was strange. [ . ] The god of birth has gathered divinity to heal the wound on his chest, but nothing has changed. uh? The god of birth had a pale expression. why. In fact, after conceptualization, the body of an ancient deity was reconstructed into something close to divine power. If you raise your divinity as the god of birth wants, at least this scar should disappear right away. However, despite this, the ck scar on the chest of the god of birth did not disappear. As if this is the stigma of the absolute that no one can easily erase. Only then did the three pupils of the deity of birth shake and anxiety rose from beyond. [This is- what- ] And. under. Han Seong-yoon, who saw this,ughed as he trudged to his feet on thend of Scandia. They said it wasnt a big deal. Before I knew it, Han Seong-yoons eyes were shining wildly like a beast standing in front of its prey. Isnt that true? That means one thing. Immortal? Its not different-. The god of transcendence and death smiles brightly at the possibility of victory . Chapter 400 400. Proof of transcendence (1) An overwhelming thrill spreads throughout the body. Achievement Seed of Mortality has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase to 100 It rises. In an instant, the achievement system greatly increases all stats, adding to the pleasure that fills the whole body. under. Realized. Only the mortal supernatural power of the divine < Death >, which forces the end of all things, can unlock the possibility of victory. This is a power that allows it to be one of the cosmic concepts and break the essence of immortality obtained by the ancient godhead. In fact, the answer has been close at hand from the beginning. That means one thing. I just wasnt sure that this was the right answer. Its nothing else Because it was only spection that I could destroy the concept divinity itself that the ancient deities had formed. Only I can copse the immortality itself of the ancient deity on the basis of the divinity < death >. But not anymore. Thats very certain. Even if its the concept of an ancient deity, its because Ive confirmed that I can deal damage in the end. Only then did I stagger to my feet and speak with a twisted smile on my lips. After all, the immortality of an ancient deity essentially depends on the concept of divinity, doesnt it? In response, I let out a tone close to ridicule, with my eyes wide open with infinite joy. Then its a simple story. and. Arent you quite curious? next moment. I wonder if you can still keep your immortality after losing your conceptual divinity to me. Hearing those words, the birth god almost had a fit and shuddered once and shouted. The god of birth feels confusion, anger, and a little fear towards you. [Shut up! ] Before I knew it, the god of birth was holding on to the scar of ck light engraved on his chest and violently exhaling red divinity. [ I- is! ] It was a shout mixed with a weak sense of despair and frustration, as if faced with overwhelming irrationality that could not be resisted. [Ancient-Goddess- This- all! ] I knew why. [Fire- Destruction- Of- Species- Lord- Ran- Horse- This- Everything! ] Originally, the concept divinity built up by the god of birth must have shined a great value befitting the status of an ancient deity that no one in the universe can easily destroy. But I denied that. But now it wasnt. This makes me angry. In fact, the immortality of the concept divinity itself built up by the deity of birth due to the divinity < death > has be like amp in front of the wind. [Gam- hee-! ] In fact, at this point, even if the ego is not contaminated by the concept of divinity, there is no choice but to be greatly psychologically shocked. [Kun- Bang- Ji- Crab! ] Actually, there was no difference. It was a feeling of unparalleled roughness, as if the world itself was stamped with divinity. Just by exhaling the overwhelming divinity of an ancient deity, the worst environment is created in which even high-ranking deities cannot breathe. Literally, I stared at the red giant of overwhelming size, with a terrible pressure that seemed like my whole body would be crushed. That red divinity in front of me is a force on a cosmic scale that is made up of the integration of long years that may exceed hundreds or thousands of years. But Its strange. Why? I I dont know why, but now I dont feel much pressure mentally even when I see the divinity of the cosmic scale of that birth god. Are you being cocky? no. Not even that. Truly pure joy fills the whole body. Doesnt that sound a bit absurd even if you think about it yourself? For some reason, it was impossible to hold backughter even though the ancient godhead was in a state of being weighed down by the divinity that seemed to have drawn all its power. Thats right. I noticed. At this point, it was clear how he was feeling. Before I knew it, I did not show fear, anxiety, or a sense of defeat to the birth god, but rather the opposite. Its okay to discuss someones arrogance here Only then did I say with a light smile and a chill on my lips. The god of transcendence and death feels infinite joy when he sees the face of his opponent stained with fear. [ That s an expression suitable for someone like you, who barks like a frightened dog, overwhelmed by the power of the divine < death >. ] It was simple. One of those ancient deities in front of me, the god of birth, was no longer an overwhelming force. Could this divinity < Death > surpass the immortality of the ancient deity imprinted in the concept of the universe itself? So Then, each otherspatibility is different. Lets just fight about that. In an instant, the structure of the hunter and prey is reversed. The god of transcendence and death finds a new prey and feels intense greed. [Now that the match is about to be fun. ] next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As if I couldnt stand it, I gave off a divine smile with an excited smile. *** Deed-! Myth < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +400. Special buff < Adversary of Giants > is activated. You will be able to deal fixed damage in proportion to your physical strength. Numerous system messages appeared, and the level of physical ability, divinity and magical power rose significantly. Is this roughly the best condition I can form without difficulty? And ording to that, I finished my judgment while adapting to the mighty power thatnded on every part of my body. Its a bit risky. It was ambiguous. Even if you get numerous buffs with skills, powers, or myths, the limit was clear. It wont be long before you can match your opponent with < Spirit Indomitability >, one of the divine effects of the transcendent myth < Spirit Tuning >. If so, wasting time is directly rted to defeat. Still, its worth trying. There is no reason to save hand cards anymore. Ive seen for sure that I can leave an indelible scar on the very concept of an ancient deity. The supernormal ability of the divinity < death > can erode the concept divinity itself and eventually lead to the copse of the divinity. Then the conditions for victory are narrowed down to one. The possibility of victory itself was definitely felt. I wonder if its correct for me to erode the opponents divinity < Death > one more time before the divinity effect of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > wears off. Its just that each level of difficulty until I achieve the conditions for victory is practically impossible. Its simple. Does not matter. An impossible difficulty? Theres nothing like that to shake our will. After all, from the moment I was chosen to the Tower of Trials until now, I am a challenger who has always challenged near-impossible irrationality. Even if the possibility of sess is as thin as a thread, if there is even one possibility, I did not hesitate in front of the fire and just threw myself out and came to this ce. It didnt change that this time. Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! and. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Soon, the moment when the divine starlight engulfs the entire space itself, holding the divine < death >. Divine < Strike > is activated, and the physical blow is greatly strengthened in proportion to the consumption of vitality. ] Kwajijik-! In an instant, the divine starlight I sent was extinguished by the red divine shockwave. The deity of birth in front of me is definitely an enemy who deals with difficult powers. Divine < Arrival >, Divine < Strike >, and Divine < Convulsive > After that, he must have more divine supernatural powers, befitting a strong man like many myths or ancient deities. Even the divinity of the concept and every supernatural ability of the secondary divinities are extremely tricky variables. There are too many means to destroy even if I tried my skills within the scope of the assumption. and. In fact, I had almost exhausted my ability to create variables such as Returners Worn Watch (SSS+), skill Last Resistance, or divine < Victory >. I felt the need to bnce each other. If you dont like the divine supernormal ability, its okay to get rid of it. Even this side had the means to do that. ck mirror of innocence Rating: SSS+ A symbol of gigantismpleted in response to the pure malice of an ancient deity. The exclusive effect Despair of innocence can be activated] (SSS+). One of the holy relics that the God of Proof originally gave to you, showing feelings close to goodwill. This was also the result of forcibly evolving a holy relic based on the Deep Divine Call (EX), an item obtained from the Tower of Trials. and. . The item-only effect of the holy relic ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+) is one. Shall we go? Its nothing else The ck mirror of innocence (SSS+) exclusive effect Purity of Despair is activated. s divine power is sealed for 10 minutes. The users holy power is also sealed for 10 minutes by the ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+) exclusive effect Innocent Despair. ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+) exclusive effect A cooldown of Pure Despair is created for 1 year. Sealing the holy power of the opponent chosen by you and me equally for 10 minutes. Jjaeaeng! next moment. I am astonished at the fact that the god of birth has be unable to express his divine supernormal ability and his divine power externally. [ !? ] In an instant, the holy power of the birth god that filled the world of Scandia itself was shattered like a thin piece of ice. And thats not the end. Originally, the god of birth had manipted the life force of Scandia with divinity < attachment > and other divine supernormal abilities, so all natural disasters disappeared as the divinity supernatural abilities were sealed. Neatly too. Thats great. I had to admire him with a smile on my lips. One of the ancient deities, the god of birth, made it impossible to use divine power But even so, I couldnt just rejoice at the divine sealing effect. ssss-. Because before I knew it, I could no longer draw out the divine power due to the holy relic Mirror of ck Purity (SSS+). Its possible to manipte the basic divine power inside the body, but it doesnt mean much. Even if you activate the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability >, nothing will change. Even if the divine power of this side is expressed outside, the divinity cannot be handled as desired. It could be said that it was almost impossible to use powers such as divine abilities or divine armor. And as I clucked my tongue ordingly, the god of birth almost roared, gnashing his teeth as if he had figured out something. Suddenly, the face of the birth god turned pale as if he was frightened by the unknown situation. I feel a great sense of bewilderment at the fact that the birth god is unable to activate his divine supernormal ability. [You! to me-! What the hell did you do! Tsu-re-gi-ga!] The god of birth squeezed the red divinity to the limit and seemed to let out the voice of the divinity, but the echo was nothing but ordinary. The seal of divinity is almost perfect. Even if the birth god spewed out a voice containing divinity, it was meaningless. At most, it felt as if the voice of the birth god was being heard loudly through an ordinary loudspeaker. However, even so, the level of divinity would remain the same, so he could not immediately overwhelm the god of birth. They will fight by using the divine power inside each others body as a basic operation rather than the divine supernormal ability. Even if the divinitys supernormal ability itself was sealed, it would be possible to manipte the divine power inside the body if it was an ancient deity. and. In fact, considering that the body of the ancient deity itself is made up of divinity itself, from now on, this side will have to fight a battle of devouring each others divinity with the deity of birth. If so, the power of the transcendental myth ends. Theres no need to do that. There is only one answer to that. Because I can use the final hand. Its nothing else Brilliant traces of concept Rating: SSS+ Result of traces where brilliant divinity was concentrated and turned into a single concept material. Can be activated. Allows one of the divinities to be used even if there is a cooldown, cannot be duplicated, or if the usage conditions are not satisfied. Originally, use the item given as a reward for clearing the Battlefield of the Gods in the Tower of Trials to buy morale. it will be hit Its actually an effect that can activate one of the divinities by force. and. Of course, I can forcibly activate only one of the divinities In response, I conveyed my will to use it to the Bright Conceptual Trace (SSS+) with a twisted smile on my lips. If I had to choose only one of the divinities, it would be obvious which one to get. It was simple. Shining Traces of Concept (SSS+) Exclusive effect, Traces of Concept activates divine < fighting spirit > forcibly. Isnt there one of the divinities that allowed us to win against countless formidable enemies while climbing the Tower of Trials? and. Not even that. There is a different way to use the divine < fighting spirit >. As it is, I channeled the power of the divine < fighting spirit > into the Divine Absorption Bracelet (SSS-) worn on my wrist and umted it. The Authority Divine Power is forcibly activated and the divine < fighting spirit > is imprinted on the Divine Absorption Bracelet (SSS-). The Authority Divine Power is forcibly activated and the Divine Power The Bracelet of Absorption (SSS-) changes to the Bracelet of Divinity and Fighting Spirit (SSS). Next moment.

Proof of transcendence (2) System messages appear in front of you and block your view. The Authority Divine Power is forcibly activated and the divine < fighting spirit > is imprinted on the Divine Absorption Bracelet (SSS-). The Authority Divine Power is forcibly activated and the Divine Power The Bracelet of Absorption (SSS-) will change to the Bracelet of Divinity and Fighting Spirit (SSS). And then.

Divine < Fighting Fighting > increases the attack speed by 10000 times. Divine < Fighting Spirit > increases the external Divine resistance increased by 10,000 times In an instant, pure power rapidly expanded. However, even though he repeatedly activated divine < fighting spirit >, the level of divinity or the quality of divinity hardly rose. It doesnt matter. Anyway, despite this, pure power close to the level of the ancient godhead filled his entire body. It was the best. Really I feel. This is a force that even the ancient deity, who touched the providence of the universe itself, could not easily handle. At this point, it is not even allowed to understand the logic that is so vulgar. Even if he became an ancient deity and possessed the power of existence on a cosmic scale, nothing could be entangled in the face of this overwhelming power. Its great. and. The deity of birth is greatly embarrassed by your activating divinity. [You] Before I knew it, the god of birth could not hide her embarrassment as if she felt that I had changed greatly. [Thats- alternatively-. ] And I answered him with a short smile. Divine Power. I have no intention of wasting time. Its just a very simple divine ability that greatly enhances pure power. It was natural. Oh, dont worry. Only at this very moment, when his physical abilities and numerous strengths have increased 10,000 times thanks to the divinity < fighting spirit >, is the right time to subdue one of the ancient gods, the god of birth. Didnt I say that the power I possess is nothing to an immortal suzerain like an ancient deity anyway? If so, I was just trying my best. So I was clenching my fists with the two swords in both hands tucked in before I knew it. Hold on. and. The god of transcendence and death looks at the foolish prey and sneers. [Isnt it immortal? ] Soon, the moment I lightly punched while trampling on the air while looking down at the god of birth. It can no longer be called supersonic or sublight. Its not different ! It was simple. ! speed of light. At best, it is not a speed that is infinitely close to the speed of light, but a speed beyond that, the speed of light itself. And ordingly, I poured out the essence of pure physical force obtained by reaching the speed of light itself. !! next moment. One result was derived. In an instant, the world turned white and copsed. *** Highly developed physical strength. It was truly an unexpected force. Originally, this pure physical power obtained through the divine < fighting spirit > should not be able to inflict damage on enemies of higher rank or higher. Enemies who are at the level of a high-ranking deity should be able to offset purely physical damage with the divinity itself. It was worth it. Even if he became an ancient deity and failed to achieve conceptual immortality, a deity is different from a mortal. In fact, unless the level of divinity or the level of the soul was pushed, or the highest level of magical application techniques, pure physical power was not very valuable. At best, it is an auxiliary means topete with each other. Theres no way that pure physical power without divinity or magical power would work for one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. But Thats just how it was when I wasnt around. It was an illusion. Even if its an ancient deity, youve never seen a special case like me. Even if he became an ancient deity and conceptualized it, his highly developed physical power could surpass all of them. Coo-goo-goo-goo-. Like this one. Yes I smiled as I lightly brushed off the dust that was blocking my vision. Its neat. It was worth it. The power obtained after forcibly repeatedly activating the divine < fighting spirit > left a vicious scar on the world of Scandia itself. In fact, thend of Scandia lost its appearance and became close to melting likeva. Even if the divinity is out of the unusable state, it is unlikely that the deity of birth will be able to manipte thendscapes of Scandia with the divinity < arrival >. If so, this was the best. Its fun. Not even that. The god of birth looks at the challenger Han Seong-yoon with a look of astonishment. [You you you . ] Before I knew it, the god of birth was bleeding from a body of overwhelming size like a mountain range. [What the heck is that] I think I was shocked after noticing what this side was doing based on the stacking of the divine < fighting spirit > activation Im annoyed. Im not particrly interested in that. After seeing that, I paid attention to the effects of the countless holy relics that covered the entire body rather than the fact that the birth god was bleeding. It looks like it is wearing darkness like a protective gear, or it is wrapped around its body with unprecedented energy. It was roughly predicted. Looks like an ancient deity, his equipment must have been great. This side reached the speed of light itself and offset the pure physical power poured out with numerous defense system relics brought from the Pantheon of the God of Birth. Anyway. Then there was only one thing to do. [How can you deal with something like that!? ] There is no need to talk further. . The moment I hit him again with my eyes closed coldly. In the blink of an eye, the world was again dyed in a pure white halo of light and almost distorted. Just by simply raising the power of this side, the grotesque destructive power is exerted to the extent that it shatters the world itself. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Time is running out. As the god of birth is protected by numerous holy relics, I have to get rid of them one by one. Actually, there is only one solution. Then its enough to cut it off. It was just an onught until all of those holy relics that the god of birth had brought from the pantheon were destroyed without leaving a single one. The birth god feels great pain and lets out an angry roar. [I! dog-! ] And. ! In an instant, dozens or hundreds of pure white lights burst out, bursting with pure physical force that engulfed everything. [ !? ] next moment. The Twisted and Contaminated Crown of Insolence (SS-) is destroyed, and the exclusive effect Ugliness of Insolence is deleted. Silence of Darkness will be deleted The distorted symbol of Pride (S-) will be destroyed, and the exclusive effect Pride Time will end I could see them disappearing one by one. Not that surprising. It was natural. Even if it were a holy relic created by monsters of the highest level among the ancient gods, it would be merely an auxiliary means. It would be the correct procedure for the relic to be destroyed without being able to endure excessive use of damage beyond a certain level or the exclusive effects of other items. If so, it was simple. At most, a holy relic is just an item after all. Truly, this is an onught at the speed of light. In fact, one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, would also be an onught of damage, but there was no way something like a holy relic could withstand it. obviously. And after pouring out an onught that reached the speed of light, I saw that even thest shells surrounding the god of birth disappeared. Deep Sea Treasure Chest (S-) is destroyed and the exclusive effect, Aura of the Deep is deleted. Depending on the Protection Sphere of Contempt (A+) is destroyed, the exclusive effect Time of Contempt is deleted. Its The Ocarina of Domination (B+) is destroyed, and the exclusive effect Tone of Domination is gone and. [ ! ] It was only then that I leaped high and reached the ce where the god of birth was located. Can I give you some advice? That means one thing. Youll have to hold on tight and hold on. Its not different Perhaps until the sacred seal is over, you will be beaten by me without a break. It means that this ancient deity in front of me will be beaten at the speed of light without rest until the activation duration of the holy relic ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+) ends and I can use divine < Death >. Even if it wasnt, I wanted to know. As it was, I concentrated pure power in my right hand with a twisted smile and delivered a strong blow. How many times does an ancient deity like you need to be beaten by me before its divine power ispletely exhausted? next moment. ! In an instant, the gigantic body of the deity of birth fell terribly to the ground. Kwajik-! Kwajik-! Kwajik-! Not even that. [ !!! ] Didnt you know that the punches strengthened 10,000 times by the divine < fighting spirit > would be so strong? The birth god let out a scream that changed the direction just by being hit once by a punch that had the speed of light itself. Thats a very big word too. Unlike when it is protected by numerous holy relics, it does not have the ability to defend against pure physical damage. It was a passage that showed that the god of birth became one of the ancient gods and depended heavily on the power of divinity. but for a while. under. Seeing that, I expressed my feelings of ridicule and said, Its not like talking about being thrown out at the subject of making such a fuss over such a thing. and. Didnt you say you were immortal? Thats not all. Then lets take a look. Before I knew it, I smiled, eyes sparkling with interest, anticipation, and greed. The god of transcendence and death reveals a grin full of greed. ] Chapter 402 402. Proof of transcendence (3) It was a perfect, unshakable superiority. ! In an instant, strikes with the speed of light would crush the world of Scandia itself. It was an onught containing only pure physical force that would not be suitable for a fight between ancient gods. Originally, if he had be an ancient deity and achieved a wless conceptual divinity, purely physical damage should have been meaningless. But it wasnt. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu! One of the ancient deities, the god of birth, was driven into a dying state with only purely physical punches. It seems that the ancient deity, such as the god of birth, is enduring by consuming divine power because the whole body isposed of divinity And. Anyway. Seeing that, I punched harder without leaving a handful of energy left. It is to make the deity of birth use most of the divine power in the body, so that even after the divine sealing state is over, it can no longer struggle. At this point, even with my overwhelming senses, it was impossible to properly recognize what I was doing. If I had to insist, I couldnt feel anything except that I was punching with all my body strength. True In the blink of an eye, the entire space where this side is standing is being twisted, crushed, and shattered, only btedly aware. Its amazing. At least that was all. The moment when he reached the speed of light by purely relying on his physical ability, which could purely overwhelm even one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. In fact, from that moment on, I couldnt easily control this highly developed physical force that could rival the concept of divinity of an ancient deity. Perhaps the ovepping activation of the divine < fighting spirit > could sweep away not only enemies but also allies, depending on the situation. That means one thing. But This is a challenge that climbs the tower of trials and an ancient deity who handles numerous conceptual divinities. Thats all. It didnt matter. Even if you cant control the power obtained by ovepping the activation of the divine < fighting spirit >, its just that its difficult to control the power. In other words, unless you are in a cooperative ordeal on Earth or in the Tower of Trials, there is no need to adjust your powers. Then it doesnt matter right now. Right-. Excellently. like now. Kwakjijijijijijik! Before he knew it, the deity of birth was crying out with not only the ck scar on his chest drawn by the divinity < Death >, but alsorge and small holes all over his body. The god of birth is crying out in infinite pain because of you. ] The god of birth in front of me was weak enough to tell at a nce. okay. Now, even if it is an ancient deity, there is no way that the divine power will remain in the body. obviously. And Is it time to end the fight? Not even that. Time is over. The ck mirror of innocence (SSS+) exclusive effect, Innocent Despair is disabled . It loses. < Spirit Indomitability >, one of the divine effects of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, and the holy relic ck Mirror of Purity (SSS+) have also been sealed. It was simple. Before I knew it, I felt a great sense of exhaustion, feeling that the level of divinity and even the level of the essential soul beyond it had been greatly reduced. I felt a sense of loss, as if a part of my body had been cut off, but that did not stop me from thinking or acting. I did everything I had to do. He would too So Now I had to settle the game. Now all I have to do is check what happened to the god of birth. It was the final hour. The seal of divinity caused by the holy relic ck Mirror of Purity (SSS+) is over. At most, only the level of power left to end the deity of birth by using the divine < death >. Since I had used up most of the hidden cards I had collected while climbing the Tower of Trials, there was nothing I could do anymore. For example, if one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, had a hidden card or if I could use a means to recover the divinity, it would be impossible for me to win. Theres nothing more to do. I just keep my eyes on Scandia, which has be like hell, and look at the fallen god of birth beyond it. and Ha. Realized. In other words, the god of birth in front of me is showing the bottom of so many powers that he cant even stand up on his own. In fact, it was obvious that the god of birth would have no hidden cards orst resort left to continue this fight. That means one thing. okay. Its nothing else I Only then did I feel the thrill from the pleasure of victory and the exhration of having defeated one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. You won. god of birth. Originally, at the end of reaching the providence of the universe, he became an ancient deity and achieved the immortality of the concept. Before I knew it, I was like a specimen of an ancient deity without any ws. You won the victory over that monster. *** Chak-. In an instant, Inded on thend of Scandia and looked around without energy. Originally, the request this side received from the pantheon should have been to kill one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, or to recover the holy relics stolen by the god of birth. Even if he had won the victory over the god of birth, he tried to get some of the holy relics from the pantheon just in case. But This is really It was in vain. Before I knew it, I looked around thend of Scandia and smiled bitterly. Could it be because, in fact, in the aftermath of fighting the god of birth, he pushed Scandia itself to the brink of ending it? Thats pretty close to the worst. Its serious Its not even that. None of the holy relics from the pantheon, which were probably stolen by the god of birth, remain intact. At most, the only thing that could be seen by the eyes of this side was the destruction and melting of the holy relic, or only traces of pieces. For now, I cant return the relics to the pantheon. It was worth it. After hitting the deity of birth several times while using the ovepping activation of the divine < fighting spirit >, ordingly, the nature and holy relics of Scandia werepletely ruined. Even if they failed to kill the birth god, they thought that if they took the sacred relics from the pantheon, they would be at least some insurance against failure in the ordeal, but it was impossible. Then what you had to do was simple. The god of birth has a strong hatred for you. [You uh uh!! ] Its nothing else [Go buggy! ] It was simple. It is to kill one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, based on the divinity < death > that this side possesses. And following that, I lightly leaped andnded on the chest of the god of birth, and saw the outbursts close to screaming. [Dont becent] Just like that, the god of birth delivered a voice full of murderous intent and hatred. [I am an ancient deity.] And. [I will live again!! ] Hearing that, I replied with a full spirit. I know roughly what you want to say to me. Its nothing else I guess he wants to talk about things like the immortality he gained from bing an ancient deity doesnt disappear. I was trying to let me know that the immortality I gained from bing an ancient deity would not disappear, as if I hadnt gotten tired of that birth god that I could still see in front of me. We dont have to hurt each other anymore. No way. Isnt it? Hearing that, I was intrigued and continued with a smile on my lips. Anyway, Im the winner. and. The god of transcendence and death shes his divinity with his huge greedy eyes. ] Then, the moment I cast the sacred < Death > and send it to the Blood Demon Sword in my right hand. The god of light is looking at you silently The god of darkness is looking at you happily The demon god is looking at you with amusement Im staring nkly at you. As system messages appeared in front of my eyes, I felt their gaze. Is everyone interested in me killing one of the ancient deities, the god of birth? Before I knew it, numerous divinities were shining like stars across the sky, and it seemed to illuminate the ce where I was standing. But even so, the gods did not show only optimistic responses to what I was about to do. The god of pride is looking at you with great displeasure. The god of pride is looking at you with great annoyance. The god of eternity is looking at you with great fear. Im looking at you with my eyes. Quite a few people felt displeasure, annoyance, or even fear towards this side. A number of ancient deities are watching your every action. However even so, what they were doing was pretty much the same. A number of ancient deities were watching from beyond the skies to see what I could aplish. And ordingly, I received the gazes of many ancient deities at once and raised the Blood Heaven Demon Sword as if nothing like that. Using Divine < Death > Divine < Death > erodes everything ording to the users will. You can control the death of everything that has been eroded by Divine < Death >. The next moment. Whoa deed deed deed! [-Keuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] In an instant, I mmed the blood demon sword into the chest of the deity of birth and poured out the divine < death > even louder. gg gg gg gg gg-! But it didnt end there. Even if it was eroded by the divinity < death >, the concept divinity achieved by bing an ancient deity did not easily go ording to the will of this side. The concept of red light originally possessed by the god of birth is greatly swaying and refusing to disappear as it is eroded by the divinity < death >. Rough too. Im starting to feel it. At this point, you know. If its the concept of an ancient deity, its possible to leave permanent scars, but its almost impossible topletely annihte it. In fact, the ancient concept of divinity itself could not bepletely eliminated. Even if the conceptual divinity is contaminated by the supernormal ability of the divinity < death >, it does not disappear, even if it is dangerous. As if it was impossible to get rid of concept divinity if certain conditions were not met. Then there was only one correct answer. The god of transcendence and death forcibly suppresses and swallows the conceptual divinity. ] Nothing else. Divinity < Harvest > is activated and concept divinity is extracted from the [God of Birth]. Divinity < Harvest > is activated and concept divinity is extracted from the [God of Birth] Divinity < Harvest > This activates and extracts the concept divinity from the [God of Birth] Based on the divinity < death > and in addition to the divinity < harvest >, the concept divinity itself is forcibly swallowed up. gggg gggg gggg -. next moment. Absorbed the spirit of Dirmoa, the god of birth. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against an ancient deity, bringing her 21% closer to [Transcendence]. There was one result. [] It was simple. Achievement ying an ancient deity has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement has changed from [SSS level] to [SSS+ level] I will rise to . Acquire the Divine Deity Exclusive Power Seeker of Pure Death (SSS+) At this moment, I was reborn as the only being in this universe who could kill the ancient Godhead. Chapter 403 403. Proof of Transcendence (4) In an instant, system messages appear in your field of vision. Achievement ying an ancient deity has been aplished. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement has changed from [SSS level] to [SSS+ level] Acquire the divine power-only power, Seeker of Pure Death (SSS+) Achievement reward. As always so far. Before I knew it, I was notified that I had achieved a new achievement and obtained a new reward. What is this Its also very amazing. Its a god exclusive power. It is truly an unexpected reward. Thats also true, doesnt the god exclusive power obtained as an achievement reward while climbing the Tower of Trials have monstrous abilities? For example, one of them, List, can forcibly erode living things within a certain range with divine < death >. without any exceptions. This If so, wouldnt it be that different from the newly obtained divine power exclusive, Pure Seeker of Death (SSS+)? Thats great. Just like that, I widened my eyes full of anticipation. Is it like finding a treasure chest? but for a while. [] Suddenly, I realized that there was no time to think as I watched the system messages continue. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-. Its nothing else Absorbed the spirit of Dirmoa, the god of birth. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 21% closer to [Transcendence] by winning against an ancient deity. Special due to < Divine Ascension > As a reward, you will receive the exclusive effect Hunter of Chaos (SS+). From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divinity level will increase by +10% whenever she faces an ancient deity. Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > and Necromancy Because the rewards of victory were flowing in endlessly after the activation of supernormal ability. . It was simple. The state of the highest hierarchy among the ancient gods, not the lowest hierarchy among the ancient gods. At this moment, among many ancient gods, I have reached the level achieved by only a handful of ancient gods close to the top. Really And Now wevee this far. That means one thing. The grade of the authority Divine Power (S) will grow to the grade of Divine Power (S+). The authority Divine Power (S+) will partially assimte to the users unique The divinity will be able to interfere with the soul of life itself. It has been proven that only I am the only gemstone of transcendence in the universe that can go beyond the ancient deity. Final conditions satisfied. Divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the unique property Necromancy The mastery of the unique property Necromancy increases by 10%. . *** At this point, you dont even have to contemte how much great feat and growth you have achieved. Many Ancient Gods react furiously to what you have aplished! Many Ancient Gods react furiously to what you have aplished! Many Ancient Gods react furiously to what you have aplished Ban! It was well worth it. Before I knew it, a number of ancient gods were shing divinity like starlight across the sky, realizing what level this side had reached. Its noisy. Could it be that I didnt know that I would not only kill one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, but also be this strong? The God of Pride is displeased that you have exceeded the standard strength of the Ancient Godhead! The Eternal God has a great death fear that you can kill one of the Ancient Gods! Most of the many Ancient Gods were astonished at what I had done, or were expressing wariness or fear. Its not like that. Some of them, of course, had to show admiration, admiration, and satisfaction to me, unlike them. The dark god feels proud of what you have done and wants to reward you quickly. I am slightly surprised by what I have aplished and I hope that the day wille when we can meet again. The strong people who belong to the highest rank among the ancient gods are sending expressions close to positivity. And ordingly, I raised my head and saw a number of ancient deities, presumably affiliated with the pantheon, twinkling divine stars. If I had to question it, since I killed the traitor of the pantheon, most of the ancient deities should be happy, but As if most of the ancient deities had done something extremely impure that this side shouldnt do. A figure that shines divinity beyond the sky and is angry. I can guess why the many ancient deities belonging to the Pantheon are making a fuss against me. But I wasnt particrly curious as to why he was doing that. Anyway, isnt it obvious how many of those ancient gods were thinking to show such hostility toward me? The Tower of Trials gives great praise to challenger Han Seong-yoon for what she has done. Perhaps, in the eyes of many deities, I feel like the final weapon or hidden card of the hostile faction, close to the hunting dog raised by the Tower of Trials. I am convinced that Tower of Trials challenger Han Seong-yoon has the overwhelming qualifications among many candidates. I judge that there is a possibility that it will rise to the final floor. Actually, there was nothing different. The Tower of Trials will no longer exclude or deny the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Suddenly, the Tower of Trials suddenly changed its attitude like flipping the palm of its hand and started to overestimate this side. The Tower of Trials has selected Han Seong-yoon as the final candidate, and ordingly all restrictions are lifted. It was as if I was no longer like a rough stone before processing, but a beautiful jewel itself whose value was inestimable. The Tower of Trials activates the exclusive authority #B-421 [Restriction on Deity Observation and Intervention] to expel a number of ancient Deities from the observation area. It wasnt just that . Gggg!! Before I knew it, the Tower of Trials spread a screen over the sky as if it would not allow a number of ancient deities to even look at me. A number of ancient deities express their wariness, fear, and hostility towards you. However, in spite of that, some of the divine starlights across the sky oscited ominously until the end, expressing negative feelings toward this side. The god of arrogance is ming you for being like filth beyond the permissible limit. I was annoyed. The god of pride is convinced that you are the best hunting dog raised by the Tower of Trials, and shows great vignce. Isnt that right? The eternal god wishes that you would no longer be alive in this universe, and shed her murderous intent in fear. In fact, many of the ancient gods showed their hostility without caring about what I wished for. It was annoying. Each of those reactions, saying that at most I was a hound raised by the Tower of Trials, slowly created a wave of anger. And ordingly, I followed the flow of the wave of anger, and with my eyes fixed on the sky, I parted my lips. I roughly understood it. A voice in a subdued atmosphere. Perhaps its because they think theres a high probability that Ill be against the ancient deities through the Tower of Trials Suddenly, I smiled at the divine starlights in the sky and said. so-. And What? As it was, I continued sarcastically to what most of the many ancient deities felt. Even if I wasnt subordinate to the Tower of Trials, would people like you care about that? Many ancient deities listen to every word you say. That cant be. At that, I spat out a nkugh once as if it were infinitely the same, and then continued to speak contemptuously. Anyway, even if I wasnt a challenger to climb the Tower of Trials, its obvious that people like you would have hated it if I had this much power. Ironically, this was an inconvenient truth. Because thats the habit of frightened people like you. In fact, even if he became an ancient deity and touched the providence of the universe itself, most of them did not change their weak disposition. Dont justify yourself by pretending to be wary or hostile to me anymore because Im a challenger climbing the Tower of Trials. I conveyed the words as I felt purely without any filtering. Cheap ys are not my taste. One response followed. Many Ancient Gods are outraged by your arrogant and disrespectful remarks!! Many Ancient Gods are outraged by your arrogant and disrespectful remarks! I am shocked by your arrogant and disrespectful remarks!] Suddenly, most of the many ancient deities were stabbed in the head and poured out their anger on me. therefore. but for a while. At this point, just shut up and get out of here. There is no reason for me to hold back my anger. The moment I gathered and presented the status of divinity with a mocking smile on my lips. In the blink of an eye, the lights of the divine stars over the sky were extinguished one by one by the Tower of Trials, and amon emotion shone between them. So It was-. The god of transcendence and death shines a murderous intent whileughing at the many ancient deities. ] C It was horror. *** All of the divine starlights that were visible across the sky had disappeared like a mirage. Then I sat down on one of the shattered rocks and caught my breath. Its a bit morefortable now. Somehow, he won a splendid victory against one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, but he could not easily shake off the feeling of exhaustion that covered his whole body. Im tired. The consumption of numerous divinities and subsequent consumption of mental power was also quite considerable, so the fatigue umted throughout the body could not be immediately removed. DYou and DAre you okay? Damcheonwu, who dwells in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, also sent a telegram as if he noticed that this side was suffering from weakness. yes. Well, I wasnt seriously hurt. I was just tired for a while because it consumes a lot of divinity and mental consumption. To that, I replied with a good-naturedugh. DIf so, its fortunate Upon hearing that, Damcheonwu continued with a slightly trembling voice. DNow you too have be one of the non-standard monsters. Its a monster outside the standard DEven if you look at the entire universe, there wont be many monsters like you. no. Perhaps you are the only one who has seeded in eliminating the divinity itself, the concept of an ancient deity. DIts not something to be glossed over with exmations of greatness or something. Dam Chun-wu was showing an emotion close to awe. DCould it be that you subdued one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, and robbed that concept divinity to give herplete death. . DYou are practically the only opponent of the ancient deity in this universe. So, most of the ancient deities in the pantheon must have been wary of you. It must have been. In response, I raised my head and looked somewhere while shaking off the tiredness of my body to some extent. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about. Right-. Because preparations for that have already been made. There was a system message floating in front of my eyes. Congrattions, you have broken through the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, Catalogue of Numerous Divinities (SSS+) will be sent to your inventory. You have acquired 2000,000 points as a breakthrough reward. As a breakthrough reward, You have acquired 150000 SP. As an additional breakthrough reward, Special Stat Increase Potion (S-) will be sent to your inventory. *[email protected]#$!. It just made me stronger. If I did, I wouldnt have to deal with that stuff anymore. At the same time, it was announced that this side had passed the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials, and a reward for clearing the ordeal was given. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated. The level of reward increases with exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward]. 27th floor breakthrough reward Numerous divine catalogs (SSS+) will be enhanced with Brilliant Catalog of Divinity (SSS+). The 27th floor additional breakthrough reward, Special Ability Level Up Potion (S-) will be strengthened with Special Ability Level Up Potion (SS-). I continued talking while upgrading the level of the trial reward by activating the exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward]. Maybe it will be quite fun from now on. and. Now it is time to learn about each of the results of my murder of one of the ancient deities. Shinhwa < The Possibility of Transcendence > Necromancy In addition to that, the god exclusive authority obtained as an achievement reward, and other trials clear rewards were also obtained. Really Its nothing else. Expectedly. It means that now I will obtain strength outside the standard, which is different from the growth process of general ancient deities. Chapter 404 404. Pantheon (1) I had to finish taking a break. Before we knew it, the things we had to do piled up like a mountain. Currently, I have obtained Shinhwas < Possibility of Transcendence > Necromancy, as well as God-only powers obtained as achievement rewards or rewards for clearing trials. Then there was a need to check them out. For now, its decided what to prioritize. In an instant, I forcibly shook off the feeling of exhaustion that had filled my body and started checking. Im just going to check each one in detail from now on. If I had to question it, should I say it was because the Tower of Trials made it impossible to observe this side from the outside? In fact, with the exception of the Tower of Trials, there was no need to worry about the eyes of outsiders, so the confirmation work was able to be done quickly. like now. C Aplished the achievement ying an Ancient Godhead. C Dedicated authority #D-0007 [Increasepensation] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. C The reward level obtained from achievements will increase from [SSS level] to [SSS+ level]. -Acquire the Goddess-only power Seeker of Pure Death (SSS+). Seeker of pure death. It was necessary to find out about the new god-only powers that came from the achievement system, one of the benefits the Tower of Trials gives to challengers. Surely. Bondi Towers achievement system also differentiates rewards ording to how valuable achievements the challenger has achieved. If so, the prediction was also simple. If I had been reborn as the only yer of an ancient deity capable of killing an ancient deity in this universe, I would have possessed supernormal abilities on a cosmic scale appropriate to that. Shall I use it? The moment when I activated my strength without any hesitation, shining expectant eyes. Divine < death > emanated from his body, creating a strange shimmer. And The divine power-only power, Pure Death Seeker is activated. All beings who touch the Divine < Death > will gradually be contaminated with life, magical power, and divinity. Touched with the Divine < Death > All beings take fixed damage to essential elements that are directly rted to life. All beings touched by divine < death > can never avoid being harmed by pure death seekers. This I realized. Is it a debuff? Seeker of pure death. A power obtained after killing one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. It had the ability to apply numerous debuffs in support of the concept of divinity < death > itself. And isnt this all Its not even that. Impossible to avoid. And in addition to that, there is one ability that allows you to inflict some kind of fixed damage. Im sure. If we had to argue, it would be safe to say that the Pure Seeker of Death, a divine power-only authority, has three abilities. Its a bit ambiguous, but It was simple. Even if he is a strong man with power close to the highest among the ancient deities, if he touches the divine < Death >, his divinity will be contaminated and weakened. Not only that, but it is possible to inflict fixed damage on the essential element directly rted to life of all beings that touch the divine < death >. And being able to counteract numerous debuffs and special fixed damage caused by divine < Death >. Isnt that the end? . Its just hard to guess what it means to be able to inflict fixed damage on the essential element directly rted to life based on the divine < death >. I can feel all but one. Of course, even that didnt matter too much. After all, if you climb the Tower of Trials and practice battles repeatedly, you will be able to easily understand the meaning of this fixed damage ability. Only then did I cancel the activation of the Pure Seeker of Death, a divine power exclusive power, and smiled at the corner of my mouth. Its not bad power. It was great. Now, the divinity < Death > can strike the opponent without any restrictions, even if it is the strongest among the ancient deities. A blow that cannot be evaded that is not affected by divine or spirit attacks? In fact, in this side, it is like having one more hidden card that can fight on an equal footing with anyone among the ancient deities. Next And then. C Absorbed the spirit of Dirmoa, the god of birth. -Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the Ancient Godhead brought him 21% closer to [Transcendence]. C Obtain the exclusive effect Chaos Hunter (SS+) as a special reward for < Divinity Ascension >. C From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons Divinity level increases by +10% whenever he faces an ancient deity. It must be the spirit of an ancient deity obtained through Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > and necromancy. Just like that, I finished figuring out what I had obtained by killing one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. Just by looking at it, you can see how much stronger youve be this time Before you knew it, Shinhwas < Possibility of Transcendence > achieved an astounding ascension and became equipped with power close to the top among ancient deities. Its amazing. In fact, considering that [Transcendence] wouldnt have much left until [Transcendence] reached 100% due to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, it was indeed remarkable. Somehow, I even got a buff that increases the level of divinity by 10% when fighting an ancient deity. Even more so, the exclusive effect Chaos Hunter (SS-) acquired through < Divinity Ascension > in the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > increases the level of divinity by +10%. The results obtained through Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > have all been confirmed. Only then did I absorb the spirit of the deity of birth that I had extracted through necromancy at once, resulting in the growth of all abilities. Permanently increase stats by using themand of Dirmoa, the god of birth. Muscle strength increased by 407. Agility increased by 493. Stamina increased by 606. Magic power increased by 601. I did. Durability increased by 607. Concept increased by 180. Really I shuddered. Just by swallowing the spirit of the god of birth, one of the ancient deities, through necromancy, unbelievably powerful power lingers. Like a strong person who belonged to one of the ancient gods, the level of increase in all ability points obtained through necromancy was crazy. Its amazing. but for a while. You absorbed the spirit of Dirmoa, the god of birth, and satisfied the special conditions. You can learn one of the spirits of the god of birth, Dirmoa. Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < birth > < extreme shock > < blow > < reduction > < show off >. The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an optionter. It was announcing that the time for divine selection had arrived. Dan. Theres nothing to worry about. You dont have to think deeply. In fact, isnt the supernatural ability of the divine that must be obtained from one of the ancient deities, the god of birth? As it was, without hesitation, I pointed to one of the divinities written in the system message and finished the divinity selection. [Selectionplete.] Its nothing else. The divinity < attachment > is reced by potential. This is the concept divinity < attachment > built up by one of the ancient deities, the god of epitome. this. and. Did you roughly write the god of birth like this? That means one thing. The divinity < attachment > is activated and parasitizes on objects touched by the divinity, absorbing and controlling the life force. The moment the activation is finished. DHeh heh heh Seeing that, Damcheonwuughed and let out a voice close to sighing. DAre you going to write it roughly like this? That its not particrly difficult, that its just so-so like its absurd. DAt this point, I feel sorry for the ancient deity called the god of birth ? At that, I tilted my head and continued checking as if I wasnt interested. Because he ughtered numerous high-ranking deities in the original Scandian world, he also possessed an absurd amount of divine abilities. Even if it was just in case, there might be something useful among the supernormal abilities of the divine, so I looked at each one, but nothing caught my eye. Unfortunately. It cant be helped. But even so, I wasnt disappointed. Because I didnt expect that there would be a useful divinity for those who came to attach themselves to the god of birth. At that, I clicked my tongue and then looked at the unusual effect obtained as the level of divine power increased. -. C The grade of the authority Divine Power (S) will grow to the grade of Divine Power (S+). C The authority Divine Power (S+) is partially assimted to the users unique characteristics, allowing the divine to interfere with the soul of life itself. Is it interference with the soul of life itself It seems to mean that my divinity has been able to interfere with the soul of life as a result of being affected by some of the supernatural powers of necromancy Its fun. I think I know roughly. Originally, Necromancys supernormal ability is the extraction of spirits, and that means that Necromancy can handle the soul of life to some extent. Well, being able to touch the soul of a living creature by partially assimting the supernatural ability of necromancy means being able to extract the soul of a living creature. If I had to question it, it should be said that it is simr to the feeling of disturbing the conceptualization by cutting away the conceptual divinity of the deity of birth. In a word, it was simple. Its fun. Just like an ancient deity, you can forcibly exert the power of necromancy even if it is an enemy that is difficult to activate necromancy by achieving conceptual immortality. C Satisfaction of the final condition. C Divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the unique attribute Necromancy. C The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy increases by 10%. The final growth of necromancy is also near. That means one thing. Yes Now, even though he himself felt it, the final growth that could go beyond the ancient deity was beginning. Suddenly, the destination is getting closer. Beyond this, in this universe, a pure and unexplored state that even the ancient gods could not reach must be waiting. Then this one was just moving on. Only then did I stand up, noticing that I had obtained most of the rewards except for the ordeal clear rewards in my inventory. He soon realized that it was time to return to the Tower of Trials. . But *[email protected]#$!. What is this again? Why? *[email protected]#$!. *[email protected]#. *[email protected]. This is despite clearing the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials. There was no portal to return to the waiting room anywhere. Its a bit strange, but As if there was still work to be done, and there was no going back now. Well, whatever. It didnt matter. Originally, it would have been difficult if he was a mortal who climbed the early 10th floor of the Tower of Trials, but now he doesnt feel that difficult. Isnt it? In fact, if you use the ck magic [Twirling Vortex] or the exclusive authority obtained from the Tower of Trials, you will be able to return to the waiting room of the Tower of Trials in no time. However-. Lets go back. In response, the moment when this side is about to draw out the demonic energy from the body and activate the ck magic [Corresponding Vortex]. Addedpensation calction. The Manshinjeon side is requesting additional breakthroughpensation for challenger Han Seong-yoon. Suddenly, system messages appeared in my field of view, and I realized that an ident had urred. A number of ancient deities on the side of the Pantheon paid a certain price to obtain the right to invite the challenger Han Seong-yoon. Baro-. The Pantheon invites you. Do you ept? Y/N . The Pantheon. In fact, it is a ce where not only arge number of ancient gods, but also high-ranking gods who are used as strong people in this universe are also lined up. At this moment, instead of returning to the Tower of Trials, I was invited to the Pantheon by a number of ancient deities. Chapter 405 405. Pantheon (2) Before I knew it, I narrowed my eyes while staring at the system messages that appeared in front of me. I invite you from the temple of the gods. Are you sure you ept? Y/N . It made sense. What is this again. Pantheon. Isnt that a ce where not only many ancient deities but also many higher deities are gathered? Perhaps the pantheon side was wary or fearful just because they were chosen as a challenger to the Tower of Trials. Invitation? Knowing that, I felt a contradiction. In fact, it is safe to say that there is no reason for the Pantheon Temple to send me an invitation. If thats the case, why would the Pantheon side send an invitation under the pretext of addingpensation? At this point, I wonder if the fact that the pantheon is sending an invitation itself is either a fake or a trap. But even so, if you recall the system messages you saw, you could see that this wasnt fake. C Addition ofpensation calction. -Manshinjeon wants additional breakthrough rewards for challenger Han Seong-yoon. -A number of ancient deities on the side of the Mansinjeon paid a certain price to obtain the right to invite the challenger Seongyoon Han. I heard that a number of ancient deities belonging to the pantheon paid a certain price and obtained the right to invite them. From what we have seen so far, the system messages sent from the Tower of Trials do not contain any lies. Its highly likely that its not a lie that the Pantheon will invite me or that there is an additionalpensation settlement. Even if its bad news for this side, the Tower of Trials has never yed with system messages. and then. under. That means one thing. I think I know roughly. Its nothing else The god of transcendence and death is ridiculing the pantheons unreasonable tricks. ] It was simple. It didnt stop at tearing and killing one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, and in addition to that, this side got out of the lowest hierarchy among the ancient deities. Then there was only one thing the other side wanted. Many ancient deities or higher deities on the side of the pantheon want to see how strong I have be. stupidly. I know. But Theres no reason why the guys in the pantheon would respond to the tricks they did because they wanted to see me. Why? But There is no reason to avoid it. At most, seeing how strong Ive be is all there is to it. Before I knew it, I was feeling annoyed with a weakugh full of anger. Isnt that all? In fact, even though I am a chosen challenger in the Tower of Trials, am I not also a cosmic being who became an ancient deity and built up conceptualization? I dont know anything about that. Then it was just that simple. Shuk-. ept the invitation. Move to the pantheon. Since many ancient deities paid a certain price in the pantheon, part of thepensation calction will be added. Ha. In an instant, system messages appear and the entire space is distorted, revealing the divine starlights that had been hidden by the Tower of Trials one by one. Ill hang out with you. Before I knew it, I took the nces of many ancient gods one by one as if nothing had happened and spoke leisurely. Even if it wasnt so, I wanted to know. Depending on the difference in point of view, this too could be used as an opportunity for the disgusting invitation sent by the Temple of God. What level of strength were most of the ancient gods of the pantheon? That is So Its nothing else. Lets see. In a word, it meant that many ancient gods did not measure my strength. How strong are you guys that you are barking like that? no. Again, it would be close to its opposite. I am the only one who sees it with the perspective of measuring and evaluating the power of many ancient deities. coo goo-. The moment I watched the space shake with a chilly smile on my face. . Before I knew it, I noticed that this side was standing in a space with a cosmic background filled with ck. A number of ancient deities look at you with anger, wariness, and a slight fear. Not only that. A number of ancient deities belonging to the original pantheon are directing their gaze, causing a feeling of pressure that is different from that in Scandia. As if he wanted to kill him like this. A mere high-ranking deity could be crushed to death with just its overwhelming presence. Then, it is obvious what kind of ce this ce is. DOh oh oh Did Dam Chun-wu realize that as well? DThis is. Before I knew it, the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and I heard Damcheonwus voice full of awe, tion, and fear. DThe Pantheon Thats right. The Outer Magician contains a number of ancient deities that are on a truly cosmic scale, as well as numerous higher deities. At this moment, I entered the Hall of the Gods, where even the strongest hierarchical monsters in the universe are located. Achievement Invited to the Pantheon of God has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats rises by 10. Interestingly. *** We arrived at the Pantheon in no time. Realizing that, I removed the system message blocking my view and let out a curious nce. All of a sudden, temples of various colors were visible beyond the background that looked like a ck universe or chaos. This is And then. Its a pantheon. As it was, I smiled greedily at the numerous temples visible over there and the divine light that matched them. Its wonderful It was just like that. The ce called Mansinjeon reflected in my eyes was like a high-ss restaurant where everyone had their appetites. But even so, if I did as I wished, it was obvious that I would give not only many ancient deities, but also higher deities an excuse to fight. It is said that they are bound by thew of causality through the Tower of Trials, but isnt that valid only under the premise that this side remains still? At that, I clicked my tongue and almost sighed in regret. Its just a pity that I cant touch this sweet jar of honey. There was no need for this side toe out and poke the beehive. Knowing that, I turned my head, feeling a pang of regret in my mouth. I heard that the ce called the original pantheon belonged to numerous deities, so I thought it would reveal something beyond my imagination, but it wasnt really like that. The space with a background like the universe is certainly amazing At most, the Pantheon was close to a number of temples lined up against a ck background like space or chaos. I wonder if its just me. This side looks quite mysterious, but it doesnt look like it fits the grandiose ce of the pantheon. But I didnt forget what I had to do. Bondi came here for one reason. Was it exploration? Its rare to see ancient deities with simr levels of power. And I think Im going to have to go to the ce where the ancient deities are at this point The moment when I narrowed my eyes as if I was at a loss and thought about where to go. Its ambiguous. Suddenly, from behind where I was standing, I heard the voice of a woman full of divinity and pure elegance. [My dear. ] But [Its been a while since Ive seen a great being. ] It was strange. I feel like Ive already heard this clear, unknown voice somewhere. And more than that, I felt a sense of being drawn to one of my skills. ah. At this point, I got a feeling. I cant believe this Thats right, this woman with a clear voice had built quite a rtionship with us. The god of Amhyang shows you great respect and is polite. [ It is an honor for a small creature like me to once again serve one of the absolutes of the universe following the giant treebyrinth. ] Before I knew it, a gray haired woman wearing a ck robe was approaching from behind where I was standing, radiating feelings close to worship. [ Han Seong-yoon. ] At this point, I cant help but know. Only then did I reply, looking at the face of the girl I had seen in the giant treebyrinth. Really Its nothing else. Long time no see. It was simple. Originally, when I was in the giant treebyrinth, the god of darkness must have lent me one of the 4th grade apostles. And as a result, I was reunited with a female apostle who faithfully followed the god of darkness who allowed me to clear the finalyer of the giant treebyrinth. Aria-sama. That too by ident. *** I already know about the gray-haired beauty in front of me. Giant treebyrinth. At this point, I had been supported by her at one of the big events held by the Tower of Trials, which felt like a distant past. Incredibly. It was only then that he was able to clearly understand why one of his skills was strangely attracted to him. could notice C A master-servant contract was established with mutual consent. -All stats of 4th grade apostle Arya increase by +14. -A 4th-level apostle, Arya, can never go against the master-servant rtionship. In fact, because of one of her skills, she has made Arya her servant since she was in the giant treebyrinth, so she felt this bizarre attraction. Its a bit disastrous. At this point, I feel guilty. Even if this one used the skill considering the case of being betrayed by the apostle sent by the god of darkness, it wouldnt be too much. But Aria, who had be one of the divine apostles rather than a 4th-ss apostle, spoke in a passionate tone as if she was moved. [ iced coffee! I cant imagine a great being remembering a small thing like me! I was impressed with that broad generosity!! ] One, and that for a while. I stared nkly at Arias face, then changed the topic and spit out words in surprise. no. There is no such thing as that. More than that, it feels amazing to have even be a Goddess Apostle. A lot has changed since I was in the giant treebyrinth. [ . ] ? Its just [That Im sorry. Even if Han Seong-yoon says that, it just makes me miserable. Isnt that right? ] Yes? [Its because youre a nobleman who has the power to change the arc from enemies in the giant treebyrinth rather than me. ] . Unlike the way I was a mortal when I was in the giant treebyrinth, I became an ancient deity like the idol of many deities, so it was only a word close to ridicule, not praise. [That he was only a mortal with a weak divinity, but he became an ancient god and became the only yer of the only ancient god in the universe. ] Before I knew it, Arias awe-filled eyes sparkled, followed by a voice close to pure admiration. [Its an anecdote that has been discussed countless times not only in this one pantheon, but also among many gods in this universe. Its nothingpared to a minor like me. ] . It was absurd. I never thought it would be such a hot topic that this person became an ancient deity after climbing the Tower of Trials. Somehow, it sounded like I had unintentionally be a star among the gods, so Iughed out loud. but for a while. [You can see that Manshinjeon invited Seongyoon Han in a simr context. ] At that moment, Aria brushed her gray hair and continued to speak in a serious tone. [God of birth. Dyrmoa. Its like a worm that even touched the Holy Relic of the Dark God. After it was murdered by Han Seong-yoon, a new story began to circte. ] ? [Most of the ancient deities of the Pantheon are foolish to find out about Han Seong-yoon thoroughly and exclude them, but the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods are not like that. ] Only then did I realize that the Pantheon side did not invite me just to find out how strong this side had be. [ Whoa. Among the ancient deities of the pantheon, the main gods propose one thing. That is, we want Han Seong-yoon to lead us out of the Tower of Trials. ] Its nothing else [That is-. ] Among the many ancient deities, the dark gods, devils, and dragon gods who value me are not the purpose of estimating the power of this side. The god of Amhyang looks at you and makes a proposal with her eyes sparkling in awe. Many ancient deities no longer wanted me to climb the Tower of Trials and be strong, but to be the main god of the pantheon. Chapter 406 406. Pantheon (3) Transfer offer. This side had already realized what it meant to be the new head of the pantheon. In fact, bing one of the new principals of the pantheon would be tantamount to not being able to climb the Tower of Trials anymore. I think I know roughly. And to be the new chieftain of the Pantheon, not the Tower of Trials. That means one thing. Thats close to the meaning that ancient deities like the Dark God, the Demon God, or the Dragon God want me to finish climbing the Tower of Trials. Its not different-. Before I knew it, I faced the moment when I had to choose either the Tower of Trials or the Pantheon and decide my destination. Is it the new main god of the pantheon? At that, I narrowed my eyes and lost myself in thought. I just have to give up on climbing the Tower of Trials any longer and settle down as one of the new main gods of the Mansinjeon, so I can livefortably. It was worth it. Truly, the Tower of Trials is a ce that gives challengers the opportunity to be stronger without limits. So far, the Tower of Trials has given higher rewards the more you take on more risks and continue to face trials. But if I ept the offer, I wont be able to climb the Tower of Trials again and again and be stronger without limits. Even if he became an ancient deity and possessed numerous powers, that alone is like an unchanging truth. Since it has growth abilities like Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > or Necromancy, it should be possible to be stronger without a tower, but I dont think that will be easy. Not even that. It is said that it has the means to be stronger without limit through the supernatural ability of Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > or Necromancy, but it is thanks to having challenged the Tower of Trials. For example, if you belong to the pantheon of gods and act as one of the new principals, will you be able to continue fighting as many times as you wish and be stronger? Can you deal with enemies of the same level as now without the Tower of Trials? There is only one answer that follows. No way. It was simple. Its nonsense. Even if you have numerous growth-rted abilities, including the mythical < Possibility of Transcendence > and Necromancy, you cannot be strong without the Tower of Trials. Perhaps, from the point of entering the pantheon, you wont be able to easily encounter a life-and-death struggle with the gods. And . I looked at the conclusion drawn at the end of my thoughts and calmly opened my eyes. It was because I felt like this was a kind of question that prated the essence of the dark god or the ancient gods who watched the process of my bing stronger, such as the demon god or the dragon god. Now, if you have be an ancient god who has touched the providence of the universe, isnt it like asking why you need to be stronger in spite of that? It makes sense. It was worth it. Why do you want to take a bigger risk and move forward even though you have be strong to the point where you wont be easily looked down upon by any of the ancient gods? Even among the many ancient deities, even those who show a friendly attitude to me cannot understand it more urately than this one. Even though he himself became an ancient deity, its safe to say that theres little reason for him to be stronger in the eyes of others. I got it. From the moment they became an ancient deity and gained the immortality of conceptualization, this side already had the power that they did not need to be stronger. I already knew about that. Wevee too far to say we dont know what it means to be an ancient deity in this universe. Perhaps, at this moment when Ive even killed one of the ancient deities, Ill see that theres no reason to be strong. Not even that. Didnt this side definitely kill one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, at the request of the Tower of Trials and the Pantheon? That too perfectly. As a result, the gods of darkness, demons, or dragon gods on the side of the pantheon were convinced that if I met some conditions, I would not climb the Tower of Trials any more. If I be the new head of the pantheon and receive protection from the strongest of the ancient deities, I wont have to worry about the Tower of Trials or other enemies. I will no longer be threatened by any kind of retaliation from the Tower of Trials or by monsters like the god of despair, fall, and madness who covet my power obtained from the Tower of Trials. At least I know that bing one of the new chiefs of the pantheon is one of the best options for me. Knowing that, some of the many ancient gods must be convinced that this side epts the transfer offer from the pantheon. I knew exactly what the Pantheon wanted from me. But I also havee to some conclusions about what to answer about this. Nevertheless, it was ambiguous to immediately agree to the transfer offer from Manshinjeon. However, I think we can more urately determine whether or not we will be the new head of the pantheon only after facing and talking with the ancient deities. After I said that while staring into Aryas eyes, the answer came back from her. The god of Amhyang respects the will of a great being who is extremely noble. [I understand, sir. ] I do not reveal any doubts about why I did not confirm the proposal of the pantheon, or about any other questionable corners. [As requested by Han Seong-yoon, we will guide you to the ancient deities of the Pantheon. ] She just bowed her head slightly, showed her respect, and walked away as if to guide her to the end of the pantheon. To put it bluntly, it is to the point where you can feel an emotion close to awe or feeble worship. Unlike when I met her in the giant treebyrinth, this is not the respect I show for worshiping the god of darkness. True On the contrary, it is more like pure awe and respect that I show because I know the result of bing an ancient god regardless of the god of darkness. So many things have changed. And Many high-ranking deities look at you with awe, fear and feeble respect. It wasnt that different from the many high-ranking deities of the pantheon. ssss-. Before I knew it, numerous high-ranking deities were looking at this ce with their bodies revealed. Every time this one approached the center of the pantheon, following Aryas guidance, a great sense of awe and fear shone from the numerous high-ranking deities. Feelings of awe and fear so intense that they are returned to the body as part of faith. It was only then that I caught sight of the many high-ranking deities emitting a light of emotion that was so great that it became faith. The god of astonishment senses the overwhelming power you possess and sheds tears of emotion. In front of the overwhelming power that exists, they shed tears of emotion while shining their emotions. I feel great fear when the god of the holy line feels the overwhelming death you have. [ Is this the only absolute death power in the universe that causes the concept divinity itself to die Feeling great fear in front of the divinity < Death > that leads to its own death, it spit out. The God of Instion shows feeble respect in front of the overwhelming divinity you possess. As expected, it is an existence outside the standard that can reach beyond the providence of this universe. ] Some seem to have been greatly impressed by the level of divinity this side possesses, and in rare cases, pure feelings of respect shine through. It was interesting in its own way, if I had to ask. In fact, it was all the more so because I knew that all the high-ranking deities would only show negative emotions toward me. However, contrary to expectations, the situation in which the awe, fear, and respect felt by the many high-ranking deities belonging to the pantheon are reduced to part of the faith within the body. Isnt it like getting an unexpected benefit somehow? Its fun. And Dhuh Damcheonwu, who saw that, let out augh as if he was dumbfounded and let out a voice full of excitement. DIt seems like you can see at a nce what level of divinity you have built up in this universe. At this point, Dam Chun-wus voice overflowed with a sense of tion. C Pantheon. The ce where most of the top deities of the universe are gathered even though it is called the Tower of Trials. Bondi, if you are entangled in the Tower of Trials, no one will admit it. Was it because Damcheonwu, as an ego sword, watched the process of bing stronger from when he was just a mortal in the Tower of Trials? DBut. Before I knew it, Damcheonwu said in a tone full of emotion and excitement, as if he couldnt believe that he hade this far. DNevertheless, you have be an object of awe. I replied with a smile on my face. Well, now I am also one of the ancient deities. From a mortal who was only a chosen challenger to the Tower of Trials, he was reborn as a cosmic being who could be the new chieftain of the pantheon. Even if I am a deity who despises belonging to the Tower of Trials, I can no longer deny the power I possess. I was looking forward to knowing what that meant. So And then. Next time will be more fun than now. The moment I opened the stone gate of a huge temple following Aryas courteous guidance. keug gg gg gg -. In the blink of an eye, the moment the stone gate of the temple, which was so gigantic, opened with a loud noise, countless divine lights exploded through it. Now, as one of the ancient deities of this universe, I also face the ancient deities of the pantheon. It was simple. The god of light is looking at you. The god of darkness is looking at you. The demon is looking at you. The dragon god is looking at you. . The god of arrogance is looking at you. The god of pride is looking at you. The god of permanence is looking at you. Ancient deities. By imprinting the concept divinity itself in this universe, it was reborn as an immortal existence that no one can touch. Originally, a normal human or a mortal would have had to vomit blood and die miserably just by touching each one of the divine light, the release of power. But despite this, I faced the overwhelming divine light of each one of them with a rxed smile at the center of the pantheon. Many ancient deities are looking at you. That meant one thing. under. It was simple. The god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, the god of permanence. No longer was I looking at the ancient deities in the pantheon, not as the weak, but as one of the ancient deities of this universe. From the Tower of Trials, they were talking loudly while looking at us, so I wondered how strong it was It was nothing else. The god of transcendence and death is looking at many ancient deities. [Are you guys weak? ] Be strong. Chapter 407 407. Pantheon (4) Meeting Hall. Aryas guidance led me to the center of the pantheon, which was like a gigantic meeting hall. Of course, now that Arias guidance has also ended, it is not known whether this is really the meeting ce of the pantheon, but it seemed so. Actually, the ancient deities belonging to the pantheon were gathered around a huge round table-shaped structure. Yes And then. The Dark God is very proud of you and wants to talk to you soon . Realizing that I havent met him for a long time, I pout my lips feeling weakly sad. Its been a while. Only then did I smile when I saw the faces of those I knew among the ancient deities. All of a sudden, the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God were sitting around a huge round table, expressing the joy of a silent reunion with pleasant smiles. However, that does not mean that all the ancient deities at the center of the pantheon are unanimously favorable to this side. Did some of them hide their bodies with divinity? Perhaps some of the ancient gods on the side of the pantheon hide themselves in the light of divinity, perhaps because they dont want to show their bodies to this side Well, anyway. It was funny. Arent the people in front of us imprinting the concept divinity itself in this universe, being overwhelming beings with the immortality of conceptualization? Since they are like ancient gods, even if they try to hide their divinity, they cannot easily hide it without borrowing the power of some myth or the supernatural ability of a divinity. And in addition to that, this side became an ancient god on their own after climbing the Tower of Trials, so it was possible to guess at a nce what level of divinity and spirituality they had. But Ha. It was strange. True Even if Im one of the Ancient Gods, I must feel some pressure because Im facing the hostility mixed with the divinity from many Ancient Gods. Its ridiculous. However, despite the fact that quite a few of the ancient deities here radiated divine light and created pressure, there was no sense of tension. I thought I had the power to match that statement because they said they were displeased with me at the Tower of Trials. And You guys. That means one thing. The god of transcendence and death makes a cold sneer while looking at the many ancient deities. [ What kind of confidence did you have to talk bullshit to me like that? ] Among the ancient gods of the pantheon, most of the powers are simr to or slightly higher than that of this sides divinity. At most, its just a god of birth or a little stronger than that. It is felt. Most of the ancient gods emit divine light from beyond the gigantic round table. Even though this side has the fastest growth rate among the ancient deities, that is not a reason to understand that their divinity is lower than expected. However Some of the many ancient gods look at you and get very angry! Some of the many ancient gods look at you and get very angry! Some of the many ancient gods look at you. Contrary to the judgment of this side , most of the ancient gods do not think so? . The god of arrogance shines feelings of murder and fury against you. The god of pride reveals great hostility toward you. I feel it. In an instant, arge number of ancient deities released wrathful divinities and developed a level of power that could distort space itself. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu! But Dont y tricks. When I saw that, all I could do was frown. Divine < Empowerment > is used. You can use your divine power to influence the real world with words. However, a lot of your divine power is consumed when you use themandments that interfere with the logic of the world. Get rid of everything. The moment when he dered the exclusion of the divine by activating the Divine < Sword Command > whileughing as if this side was not ticklish. Kwakjijijijijijik! As it was, each stream of divine light poured out by the ancient deities was distorted and copsed by the divine < Emperor >. Awesome-. Not even that. Could it be that this side has twisted and disrupted most of the divine streams among the ancient gods by the divine < Spirit of Word >? In the blink of an eye, some of the ancient deities revealed their bodies hidden by the light of divinity. Yes, this is Only then did I look at each of those ancient deities whose divine veils were peeled off in detail with interest in my eyes. Is that the true form of the god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of permanence? Thats very certain. The god of arrogance finds out that you have removed the veil of divinity and is very displeased. Do you dare to know whose jade body this is and try to put it in those dirty eyes? know your fraction garbage. ] Only then did the brilliant blonde haired handsome man, who took one of the seats at therge round table, shine blue divinity with murderous intent. The god of arrogance feels deep humiliation that his divinity was disrupted even for an instant by you. [Lee! A hound that is merely subordinate to the Tower of Trials! Dont you dare stare at the masters of this universe! ] After a white-haired man with a poor physique next to him let out a roar of rage with his face dyed red. The eternal god feels that his divinity has been shaken by you, and he shows great fear, confidence, and hostility. [ I understood. In the end, something bizarre like the Tower of Trials must have created such an impure contaminant in this universe. Its not worth saving any longer. ] Before I knew it, a man with ck hair who sat across from him uttered a very calm voice as if fighting a gray divinity. I thoroughly oppose the evesting god epting you as the new head of the pantheon. [Ha. It had to be this way from the beginning. That pollutant that disrupts the bnce of this universe is the new main god of the pantheon? Theres no way that would make sense! Thats just an impurity to be excluded! ] Not even that. [Dont you know that the only thing left to do is to give up the throne of the new main god to that leash main dog who is only treated as a subordinate to the Tower of Trials? ] Following that, the god of permanence saw that the god of arrogance and the god of arrogance also showed signs of agreement, and let out a voice filled with a sense of crisis. The evesting god reveals infinitely great hostility towards you and gradually raises the power of divinity. there is. ] And. [Seongyun Han. A vessel capable of possessing power beyond that of an ancient deity. We all know where the impurities created by the Tower of Trials will end up, dont we? ] It was then. Soon after, the eternal god uttered a voice filled with excitement or fear. The expressions of some of the ancient deities of the Pantheon, who had shown hostile feelings to this side until now, hardened. [To have power close to omnipotence and omnipotence that cannot be put into the category of the Tower of Trials or the Ancient Godhead. ] At this point, most of the ancient deities of the pantheon must have noticed. The eternal god answers with confidence how strong you will be. ] Only I can be reborn as a transcendental person after umting Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > and necromancy abilities. *** In an instant, silence enveloped the conference hall. I didnt expect toe here and hear that sound It was justified. It seems that he was sure that I would be a transcendentalist. transcendent. It is the final stage that can be reached after polishing the divinity of a concept that can only be obtained by reaching beyond the ancient godhead. So, you must have been quite shocked that this side could be a transcendent based on the supernatural ability of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > and necromancy. Funny. and. The god of arrogance looks at you and is silent, feeling infinite anxiety, anxiety, and displeasure. Giving isnt bad. ] Actually, there was no difference. The god of arrogance looks at you and expresses hostile feelings of repulsion as if she could never admit it. [Ha. Are you a transcendent? What about that? You dare to discuss transcendentalism in front of the masters of this universe? cant be ] Before I knew it, the god of arrogance and the god of arrogance were shining with nervousness, anxiety, and murderous intent that were different from before. The eternal god reveals his infinitely great murderous intent against you and refines his divinity. [Im d everyone agrees. Probably, the givers of the pantheon would agree without disagreement. ordingly, the ancient deity, the god of transcendence and death, Han Seong-yoon, will be summarily executed. ] But. The god of darkness looks at the worthless things in the pantheon and speaks coldly. ] Then, the moment when the god of darkness, who was quietly observing the conversation between the god of arrogance, the god of pride, and the god of permanence, lightly exuded divinity. . In an instant, an infinitely cold darkness filled the ce. [ !? ] Not even that. The god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of permanence were almost swallowed up in the silent darkness, imprisoned. Without even a single act of resistance that could be called resistance, such as bringing out divine abilities or divine status. It was only then that I realized that a darkness of unfathomable depth had risen everywhere, except where this side was standing and where the Demon God and the Dragon God were. The Dark Godughs at things that are no longer worth paying attention to. [Whoops Right right. You guys would be better off doing it without any more fuss. Thats what suits you best. ] It was truly a colossal gap. I felt it. That the god of darkness in front of him, as well as the demon god and the dragon god, were among the ancient deities with powers beyond standard. Even though the ancient deities of the pantheon were defenseless because they did not know that the god of darkness would attack them from behind, but that performance was an art close to art. [I was allowed to stand here because at least one interesting story coulde out of you, but it was just a story that had no value. ] The God of Darkness tuk-tuk- tapped therge round table with his slender fingers and spoke nonchntly. [All they talk about is the Tower of Trials, or that you too can be immortal by a newly appearing Transcendentalist. ] Before she knew it, beyond her ck robes, her eyes were shining with disappointment, fatigue, and weak contempt. [Moreover, the principals of this pantheon were not supposed to be you, but they arbitrarily tried to get our consent. ] The Dark God continued his words as if he was no longer interested. [Please let me not be disappointed anymore. ] And. The dark god coldly issues a warning. ] Not even that. The demon no longer seems to like that kind of thing, but she rests her chin and speaks indifferently. [Ah-. yes yes Wouldnt that be bad too? It can be a gift to Han Seong-yoon in return for bing the new head of the Mansinjeon. ] As if the dragon god could not wait any longer, he urged the god of darkness. [ Whoa. Cant we decide how to deal with those thingster? Rather, hurry up and talk to that heir. Thats why youve been waiting ] Now that its at this point, the demon and dragon god also help each other as if they cant stand it anymore. Upon hearing this, the god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of permanence stopped struggling and stopped groaning. It looks like a small animal standing in front of a predator became frightened and stiff and could no longer move. but for a while. The dark god looks at you and smiles bashfully. Hey, I want to hear your answer. ] The God of Darkness, as well as the Demon God and the Dragon God, were looking this way with interest in their eyes. [Please select. ] He spoke in an excited tone as if he was very curious about the dark god. [Whether he will transfer to the pantheon of gods and be a god who rules the earth or other worlds as the new main god, and now live peacefully under our protection. ] The situation where those who achieved the highest rank among the ancient deities are all sending interest, anticipation, and questioning nces. [Or] The time hase to choose whether to go to the Tower of Trials or the Pantheon. [Despite the possibility of losing everything youve built yourself up until now, do you still want to be an uncertain person called a transcendentalist in the Tower of Trials?] Thats very clear. Chapter 408 408. Pantheon (5) I felt it. . The Tower of Trials or the Pantheon. It means that the final turning point has arrived, where one side has to choose which side to stand on. Now I could see why the ancient deities, who had the greatest power in the universe, looked so favorably on this side. I think I know roughly. Certainly. Why did most of the ancient deities who should be the rulers of this universe show me such great favor? It was simple. In the first ce, ancient deities such as the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God didnt show their affection for me without reason. Its nothing else The Tower of Trials and the supernatural powers of necromancy have built up my strength one by one, and I will be a new ancient deity in this universe. Most of the ancient deities who saw this side at the Tower of Trials showed good feelings or acted as if they saw an interesting possibility. I guess they treated me that way because I realized that. Isnt that because those ancient gods knew from the first time they saw this side in the Tower of Trials that this side would be the new ancient god of this universe? However It doesnt feel bad. That was it. Because thats how much I appreciated the value I had. Even if I put a value on my necromancy potential, that didnt feel too bad either. Theres nothing to feel bad about. It was worth it. Originally, there must have been many candidates, not just me, selected by the Tower of Trials from among numerous challengers. However, despite this, people like the God of Darkness and the Dragon God chose to favor this side rather than them. Not to mention, even asking me to transfer to this pantheon and be the new main deity, none of that is harmful to me. Not even that. Perhaps, from the moment he bes the new head of the pantheon, he will be able to lead afortable life under the protection of those ancient deities. It has be so obsessed with climbing the Tower of Trials that I dont hear it often, but perhaps it would be fun to sit down on Earth as one of the rulers of the universe. sweetly too. Ill be able to fully enjoy the power I built up on my own while getting away from the Tower of Trials or external enemies. Know. In fact, there was no need for this side to be more immersed in climbing the Tower of Trials. You will be able to enjoy the best life just bying up with a very simple answer that you will be the new head of the pantheon. The dark god is looking at you. The demon god is looking at you. A number of ancient deities are watching your choices. And. . The moment I parted my lips while looking at the eyes of the ancient gods all full of anticipation. I am-. Why? C Ill tell you directly, member. You dont have to go to the gym anymore. Suddenly, some of the words I heard on the day I entered the Tower of Trials seemed to linger in my mind. C To be honest, you are nothing. The day I was chosen at the Tower of Trials, I remembered the moment when I had to give up everything on my own as the 7 years of hard work I had umted to be a Hunter went in vain. C Do you think that working hard will change anything? It cant be. Its a futile effort. It feels like ying an old videotape. -Still,ing every morning to train has great grit Its a pity. But even so, some parts felt so clear. ?Its a pity. Its just stupid to do that without knowing your subject matter. mockery. Feelings of contempt, disgust, and contempt. Seven years of humiliation, shame, and an indelible sense of defeat, spent in hopeless despair. and then. under. The moment I remembered even the remarks close to curses made by the many challengers or deities I saw while climbing the Tower of Trials. The god of arrogance looks at you with suppressed feelings of rage. The god of pride looks at you with hatred. The god of eternity looks at you in terror. It was only then that I was able to realize what I wished for myself as I looked squarely at the many ancient deities who were oppressed by the dark god. I am-. From the beginning, there was only one answer. -I will climb the Tower of Trials to the end. He only hesitated because he knew what it meant to be the new head of the pantheon. Even if I dont have to climb the tower any more, it doesnt matter. Didnt you already know exactly what you wanted anyway? to have no one standing above me in this universe anymore. Then, I looked at the god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of permanence in turn. to be able to no longer even think of those ancient deities crushing me. It was as if he was looking forward to the moment when he would devour those many ancient deities one by one. maybe I wont stop and grow stronger until no one in this universe dares to even think of antagonizing me. smiled innocently The god of transcendence and death smiles with an infinitely deep, greedy smile. ] Sincerely. *** In an instant, silence settled in the hall. [ . ] It was still. Could it be that I didnt know that this side woulde up with an answer that was so radical? All of a sudden, the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God were hardened as if they had received a mental shock. but for a while. The demon godughs, feeling pleasantly embarrassed at the answer you gave. For some reason, you seem to have be an ancient deity and you seem to have almost no mental contamination, but in reality you have gone this far. ] Starting from the fact that the Demon God heard what this side wanted, heughed as if he was infinitely happy or as if he was dumbfounded, and the gods showed different reactions. The dragon god looks at you as if he feels sorry for you and shows his sympathy. ] Before he knew it, the dragon god spoke in a sad tone with his eyes narrowed as if he felt pity for this side, but he did not feel hostility or disappointment. Am I not too angry at the fact that I didnt choose the pantheon itself? In fact, the Demon God and the Dragon God did not show any dissatisfaction with the fact that I would remain in the Tower of Trials and be a Transcendentalist. The god of darkness looks at you and smiles with satisfaction. [Whoops. yes? Hey, that was the answer that suited you. wonderfully too. ] It seems that the Dark God is not so different, she said with a benevolent smile. [I cant believe he saw even the Tower of Trials as a foundation for bing a transcendent himself, and he even said he would devour all the gods in the universe ] Before he knew it, the God of Darkness showed a greedy or possessive look through his ck robe andughed. spilled [If there was no Tower of Ordeal, it was an answer I liked enough to want to invite it to the pantheon even if I had to force it for the first time in a long time. ] As if if there hadnt been a Tower of Trials, this side would have already exerted its power to be the new head of the pantheon. It was a very creepy sound. [Whoops. Its a joke. Arent you a child who will be trapped in the narrow well of this pantheon anyway? If so, it should be over soon. ] The God of Darkness pped his hands as if he had no intention of using his own hands and lightly announced the end of the meeting. [ In addition to the reward for clearing the ordeal on the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials, I will add one of the holy relics in the Pantheon, so check it outter. ] And . Complete calction ofpensation. The Manshinjeon side gave an additional breakthrough reward to challenger Han Seong-yoon. As an additional breakthrough reward, a ring full of darkness (S-) will be sent to your inventory. System messages appeared in front of you, announcing that you had obtained one of the sacred relics of the Pantheon. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated. By using exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward], the reward level increases. Additional breakthrough reward on the 27th floor A ring full of darkness (S-) is strengthened to a ring full of darkness (SS-). Thats great. The moment when this side activated the exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] and smiled with satisfaction. Time ended. Return to the Tower of Trials and then. Then lets go now. Seeing that, I looked up at the dark god, the demon god, and the dragon god, and bid farewell with a smile on my face. I regret that many of the ancient deities did not have more conversations with you. As if looking forward to the next time we will meet. Yeah, at that time, I too would have reached the end of the ancient deity and be an equal strong person. Not even that. ah-. Suddenly, as if I forgot something, I saw a number of ancient deities being restrained and crushed under the round table, and continued as if mockingly. You want to see me again? Its nothing else Next time-. It was simple. The god of transcendence and death smiles and reveals his intent to kill. ] Before I knew it, I clearly expressed my murderous intent to tear and kill those many ancient deities one by one. A number of ancient deities are enraged by your words and express their murderous intent! A number of ancient deities are enraged by your words and express their intent to kill! Enraged by the words, he expresses his intent to kill!] [ !! ] The provocation from this side worked well, and even though they were restrained by the god of darkness, they twisted their bodies around and emitted divine light. Wouldnt it be a loss for you guys to want to fight me that much? There is one answer that this side will spit out. Yeah The next moment. you. As it was, I looked at the many ancient gods and raised my voice with augh. Are you being silly? And that too with an incredibly unlucky expression. Chapter 409 409. Upperyer (1) Space is twisted and changed in an instant. I entered the waiting room on the 28th floor. That meant one thing. So youve returned to the Tower of Trials. Before I knew it, I had finished moving to the waiting room on the 28th floor of the Tower of Trials. In fact, I have definitely received the additional breakthrough reward given by the Mansinjeon side. Anyway, the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God in the Pantheon will have to reunite and talkter, so there is no regret, but there was one thing that was regrettable. ah-. Thats right Its a bit disappointing Of course. It was because I wanted to see how the many ancient deities of the pantheon would react to the mockery that this side spewed out. Among the ancient deities of the pantheon, the god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of permanence openly despised me and were hostile to me. whopping. I really should have seen how angry these ancient, non-godlike things must have been. But even after seeing that, this side finally reached the point before returning to the tower and issued a deration of war. The next time they meet again, with a tremendous murderous intention to tear and kill the god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of eternity one by one. Those many ancient deities must be shining in me with unimaginable feelings of anger and humiliation. I feel like I missed out on the sweetest dessert right in front of my nose. Ah, but I dont have to feel so sorry? but for a while. Thats right, since I returned to the tower right away, there must have been no ce to vent my anger. Somehow, it wasnt too bad after thinking that the ancient deities would be unable to express their anger because this side came out of the pantheon. I look forward to the next time we meet again. It was only then that I opened my inventory with a small smile on my face and started doing the things I needed to do one by one. Theres no need to waste time. It was worth it. Since you set the goal of reaching the final floor after climbing the Tower of Trials on your own, it would be desirable to act as efficiently as possible within the Tower of Trials. Beyond this, those who belong to the Tower of Trials or the ancient deities who are looking for this side must be waiting. Then rest was a luxury. Lets finish what needs to be done first. As it was, I took out the ordeal clear rewards on the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials in my inventory and checked them one by one. Brilliant Catalog of Divinities Rating: SSS+ Catalogue with special records for countless divinities. When observing one of the divinities, it is possible to fully understand the divinity and observe how it is used. You can find out who is. However, after selecting one of the divinities andpleting observation, the item willpletely disappear and disappear. . And. To be able to select one of the divinities and observe how it is used Then, the moment I saw the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+), a book with a brilliant appearance and a brilliant golden color. Maybe this In an instant, I realized how to use the Brilliant Sacred Catalog (SSS+) given by the Tower of Trials as a reward for clearing the 27th floor ordeal. Could it be that you can see the Tower of Trials and the Conceptual Divinity of the Ancient Gods? It was simple. In this Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+), the concept divinity of the ancient deity or the Tower of Trials must be recorded. Of course, its still close to spection, which isnt true but isnt it that this side can perfectly grasp the divinity of those with tremendous power, such as the Tower of Trials or the Ancient Godhead? Its a huge benefit to be able to find out about their abilities and how to use them. If you can find out the power of an ancient deity like the god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, or the god of permanence somewhere in this universe, you will get a big advantage in information warfare. Thats because I can find out in advance which divinity the target Im going to fight uses and prepare for it. However, that is only a story about when to use this Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+) in general. But thats not all. This was of real value. Depending on how to use it, the usage also changes. Its not different-. like now. Before I knew it, I was smiling with thrill as I pulled out a top-notch item that was somewhere in my inventory. Ancient Book of Divinity Replica Grade: EX An ancient book containing a very small amount of Reappearance, one of the powers of the Tower of Trials. It is possible. However, after acquiring one of the divinities by cloning, the item itself disappears. Tome of Divine Replication (EX). It was a top-notch item obtained after clearing the secret wish of one of the administrators with whom we had a close rtionship, the Iron Blood Lord. One of the most valuable items among the rewards obtained from the Tower of Trials, which allows you to acquire it after recreating one of the divinities. At this point, I slowly came to my senses. After writing this God of Divinity Replication (EX) and Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+), what can I get? Actually, this. Because I clearly understood what it meant, ironically, I gradually wondered what I could achieve on my own. Thats right, this is an opportunity for the Tower of Trials or the Ancient Godhead, which has the most mighty power in the universe, to obtain concept divinity. *** Consciousness clouded. If I had to argue, my whole body becamepletely drowsy as if submerged in water, and I could say that I couldnt continue the ident. Even though I was looking at the Divine Replica Book (EX) and the Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) in front of me for over ten minutes, I didnt realize it at all. For some reason, I felt a mental shock dozens of times greater than when I seeded in killing the birth god so that he could no longer survive. What-. It was worth it. no. This is Is this right? Its like a bnce breakdown. Using this Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+), you can find out the Concept Divinity of the Tower of Trials or the Ancient Godhead. If only the supernormal ability of the divinity observation of the item was all, this side would not have received such a big psychological shock. But it wasnt. If you find out one of the concept divinities of the Tower of Trials or the Ancient Godhead, you can get that concept divinity without any restrictions. Not only that, but if I use this Divine Replica Book (EX), I can obtain the concept divinity that I found out through Divine Observation. Purely, this is an out-of-standard power Dan-. I think I fully expected that the Tower of Trials would be like this There are also questions about it. Then why did the Tower of Trials give me such an enormous benefit? Isnt this after having already obtained enough power to not be manipted by the Tower of Trials? Its strange. Even if the Tower of Trials now gives me more rewards than expected to make me stronger, theres no way Ill benefit that much. Even if I did that anyway, the other side would know that I have no intention of acting as someone else intended. Yes, I am already one of the ancient deities of this universe who are neither harmed by the Tower of Trials nor bound by a leash. . Only. -The Tower of Trials gives a bigpliment to challenger Han Seong-yoon for what he has done. Still, one thing was certain. C Im sure that Han Seong-yoon, the challenger for the Tower of Trials, has the overwhelming qualifications among several candidates. C The Tower of Trials admits that Han Seong-yoon, the challenger, is an existence that no one can rece. C The Tower of Trials judges that there is a possibility that challenger Han Seong-yoon will rise to the final floor. mistake or coincidence. C The Tower of Trials will no longer exclude or deny challenger Han Seong-yoon. This is nothing like that. C The Tower of Trials selects challenger Han Seong-yoon as the final candidate, and all restrictions are lifted ordingly. obviously. I dont know why, but the Tower of Trials was certain that I had seen a new possibility in killing one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. Yes, the Tower of Trials still wants something from me. However, except for that one fact, there is nothing I can find out right away, so any guesses are meaningless. Anyway. There was no need to hurry up with an answer. Its nothing to worry about right now. Thats right a transcendental person. Anyway, thats what I want. Because thats the only goal I care about. After being reborn as the only transcendental person in this universe, no one can oppose me. Thats all. Isnt that the end? I dont care what the Tower of Trials wants from me. After all, I have no intention of letting anything go the way someone else intended. Only then did I finish checking the remaining items in my inventory, one by one, cutting off the thoughts that followed one after another.

[] [Increases the concept by +100.] After using the Special Stat Increase Potion (SS-) that emits gray light in the blink of an eye, followed by the Dark Full Ring (SS-) ) on the wrist. Exclusion of divinity. Even if its only once, theres nothing wrong with it. Well, the relic effect itself is definitely worth using as a hidden card. At this point, it can be said that all but one of the rewards for clearing the ordeal on the 27th floor of the Tower of Ordeal has been checked. I look forward to it. That means one thing. The god of transcendence and death twinkles in anticipation. ] The moment to acquire a new concept divinity has arrived. Chapter 410 410. High Tier (2) Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+). Being able to observe the divine ability by selecting one of the countless divine records. Even if the Tower of Trials was given to me with some intention, there is no reason not to use it. Actually, I dont have to worry about what the Tower of Trials wants from me anymore. obviously. Even so, the tower wont turn out the way I want it to. Didnt you see that the powers obtained by bing an ancient deity cannot be easily defeated, even if it is called the Tower of Trials? So Thats very clear. I dont have to choose means and methods anymore. and. That way, Ill be able to get the strength I want faster, even for a day. ordingly, the moment this effect was activated while holding the Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) in one hand. .

Divine < Fire > :: [Owner] :: [God of me] 248. Sacred < Yejong > :: [Owner] :: [God of Jubok] 389. Sacred < Frozen > :: [Owner] :: [God of Winter] All of a sudden, the Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) showed the name of the divinity on each page, followed by the owner of the divinity. But What. Could it be that he would let me see all the divinities in this universe one by one? The swish-pages flipped without me even having time to examine one of the divinities. It seemed like I could understand why the description of the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+) said that there were countless divinities recorded. 443. Divinity < Dawn > :: [Owner] :: [God of Dawn] 644. Divinity < Pure Stream > :: [Owner] :: [God of Flow] 725. Sacred < Fairy Yeon > :: [Owner] :: [God of Heaven] Thats right, if you see that the records about divinity are increasing one by one and easily surpass hundreds, you cant help but notice that its not unusual. Its a little embarrassing, but . But thats for a while. Doesnt it matter too much? This side hadnt thought to examine each and every one of those countless divinities in detail. Even so, theres only one thing I have to do. It was worth it. At most, there is no need to find out about the divinity of beings such as formal deities or higher deities. The selection process was not too difficult, knowing that it was not worth thinking about unless it was the level of the supernatural ability of the Tower of Trials or the ancient deities. Tower of Trials. Or to obtain the divinity of a dark god, demon god, or dragon god. Thats it. There was really nothing different. As it was, I flipped through the Splendid Divinity Catalogue (SSS+) and searched for the divinities that I prioritized. The tedious and repetitive work of reading down the divinities in one page was just followed. Chitsutsu Time passed steadily. Until this onees out with a result that is no different from the one that was already set at the end of turning hundreds or thousands of pages. And finally. Before I knew it, I was able to discover conspicuous divinities engraved on thest page of the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+). Ha. That means one thing. 1000. Divinity < Creation > :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials] 1001. Divine < Law > :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials] 1002. Divine < Miracle > :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials] It was simple. Yes The Tower of Trials. Foreign matter out of specification. Even if it is an ancient deity with immortality after inscribing a conceptual divinity in this universe, it can be suppressed with transcendental power. It was this. Doesnt that mean that we have been able to copy at least a part of the power of one of the strongest beings in the universe, the Tower of Trials? This is just-. But thats not all. Originally, what this side tried to obtain from the Brilliant Sacred Catalog (SSS+) wasnt just the divinities possessed by the Tower of Trials. ordingly, the moment when I looked down at the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+) and then radiated an intrigued look. finally saw 1003. Divine < Darkness > :: [Owner] :: [God of Darkness] 1004. Divinity < Pandemonium > :: [Owner] :: [Demon God] 1005. Divinity < Dragon God > :: [Owner] :: [Dragon God] In an instant, a feast of brilliant divinities unfolded. *** It was amazing. At this point, just looking at each of the divinities engraved in the final chapter of the Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) made me feel a sense of thrill. True Arent they monsters that, in fact, should have the most mighty power of anyone in the universe? All of them are great from the start. Is that why? Divine < Creation >, divine < Law >, and divine < miracle > Before I knew it, Iughed out loud when I saw what concept the supernatural powers of the Godhead of the Tower of Trials were based on. Is it just a formal deity or is it a different arc from the beginning with the divinities possessed by the higher deities? It was worth it. The divinities of the Tower of Trials are all close to the auxiliary system or crafting system. And in addition to that, I had to face countless enemies and countless difficulties, so I didnt put much value on the divine abilities that couldnt be used in battle. After all, every time I climbed the Tower of Trials, I felt the need to gain this side was purely overwhelming power. I didnt pay much attention to it unless it was a system that could be used as a growth support effect or as a final hand. In a desperate struggle for each others lives, isnt the divine supernatural ability a means to greatly increase the probability of survival? After all, there was no ce to use the power of the auxiliary system to defeat countless enemies while climbing the tower. It was for the best. I have no regrets whatsoever. It was because he couldnt have be this strong if he had obtained the power of the auxiliary system of the divine supernatural ability with the necromancy supernatural ability. I didnt know that now I would covet the power of the auxiliary system so much. But this time it was different. It was certain. The divinities of the Tower of Trials in front of me were all worth coveting. Of course, most of the supernormal abilities of divinity depend on the interpretation of the concept made during the process of divinity, but it is not that great. Somehow, now I think I know what kind of effect some of the divinities in the Tower of Trials have. By this point, you will find out little by little. What kind of value the Tower of Trials possesses, the divine < Creation >, the divine < Law >, and the divine < Miracle >. It wasnt hard to guess. Indeed, the Tower of Trials established a hugew of restraint called thew of cause and effect, and in addition, did not it give unique system benefits to numerous challengers belonging to the Tower of Trials? I was sure of that creation. and thew. and-. System and causality. That means one thing. creating newws in this universe. Creating newws that do not exist in this universe. That was the essence of the power of the Tower of Trials. It was truly the power of the Creator. *** Convinced. Why did so many gods in this universe show such great hostility toward the Tower of Trials? I fully understood and agreed. It feels like I have vaguely figured out how the puzzle will bepleted in the end by fitting one of the few remaining puzzle pieces to the core after much thought. I got the answer unexpectedly. Now I understand everything. When the Tower of Trials did not exist, each of the Godheads would have been able to y freely without any restrictions. The Tower of Trials created a neww called thew of causality in this universe, and it put restrictions on the actions of many gods. step-. And as a result, numerous deities must inevitably be unable to interfere with mortals without following thew of cause and effect. It would have been impossible for countless deities to be active just because the Tower of Trials had a hugew of causality. Not even that. For God, divinity and faith are the power obtained by receiving feelings close to worship by many people. It is close to impossible to obtain divinity and faith while being constrained by the hugew of causality created by the Tower of Trials. Of course, at least the divine ability or the amount of divine power can be developed through an independent route, unlike faith, but isnt that only limited to divinity? Although divinity is also possible to develop divinity on its own under certain conditions, it cant bring about a big change in divinity. In fact, it was impossible to gain faith from countless people under the hugew of causality created by the Tower of Trials. Even more so, for a god, faith is what is gained by being worshiped by countless people in one world. Suddenly, the Tower of Trials would have made it nearly impossible for many gods to easily sharpen their divinity and faith. Theres nothing to specte about what kind of repercussions that might have had. Originally, for a high-ranking deity or formal deity, faith has a valueparable to that of the divine supernormal ability. It must have been a catastrophe. It was worth it. Indeed, the power of mythology can form a high value close to the concept of divinity, depending on the level of faith and the underlying story. Cant you tell by looking at the myth < Possibility of transcendence >, the myth of transcendence, < Spirit Tuning >, or the myth of transcendence, < Absolute Unchanging >? Thats very certain. Is that why? C Do you know what the tower wants from you? C to be a god. Thats what the Tower wants from a challenger. ?However, I expect a higher level from a candidate selected by a tower like you. giant treebyrinth. To put it bluntly, this is one of the superrge events that the Tower of Trials held in the past, which feels like the distant past. Before I knew it, I was able to recall a conversation with an ancient deity called the God of Light, ahead of the final floor of the giant treebyrinth. C The tower wants only one thing from the transcendent. -To annihte all divinities without leaving a single one. -Thats why the tower makes you grow. Somehow, after realizing that the Tower of Trials was consistently hostile to the godhead, it was as if he had chewed up countless grains of sand, and felt a sharp sense of heterogeneity in his mouth. C The Tower of Trials gives a bigpliment to challenger Han Seong-yoon for what he has done. It must have been the wish of the Tower of Trials to eliminate all the deities in this universe without leaving a single one behind. I cant believe this-. and-. In fact, arent all the wishes of the Tower of Trialsing true one by one? In fact, wouldnt it be strange to know that this side obtained the strongest power that can rip and kill even an ancient deity, just as the Tower of Trials had hoped for? ah-. At that, I narrowed my eyes while keeping a cold smile on my lips. Is that why? That means one thing. I can see why the Tower of Trials said that it would no longer exclude me. Its nothing else Being able to control the actions of this side without having to do those annoying tricks anymore. It was simple. Didnt I judge that it was possible? In fact, the Tower of Trials had concluded that it could control me without resorting to any tricks. Thats interesting enough. stupidly. under. but for a while. Its more interesting than I imagined. Following that, the moment when I saw the divinities engraved in the final chapter of the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+) one by one. 1003. Divine < Darkness > :: [Owner] :: [God of Darkness] 1004. Divinity < Pandemonium > :: [Owner] :: [Demon God] 1005. Sacred < Dragon God > :: [Owner] :: [Dragon God] I made a decision at the end of repeated turns of thought in an instant. Which of the options in front of you is the best? From the beginning, there was only one answer. Yes All or nothing. Lets do it. It was time to score the winning number. It was a little bit interesting. gorgeous too. Are you curious? And The god of transcendence and death sends a twisted smile to the Tower of Trials, who is looking at it from somewhere . appeared in abundance. Selectionplete. You have selected one of the many records of the divinity you saw with the catalog of brilliant divinity (SSS+) exclusive effect Observation of Divinity. By the catalog of brilliant divinity (SSS+) exclusive effect Observation of Divinity, you have selected that divinity. You can get aplete picture of it. See youter. next moment. . Start observation of divinity. By using the effect Observation Divinity exclusive to the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+), you will have a perfect understanding of the divinity < Creation >. You will be able to see the new rulesing out. The supernormal ability of the one and only creator out of countless divinities has been revealed. Chapter 411 Episode 411, upper ss (3) Actually, I thought a lot about it. Indeed, they are forces on a cosmic scale. I was able toe up with an answer after repeated turns of thought on which divinity to choose, the Tower of Trials or the Ancient Godhead. Selectionplete. You have selected one of the many records of the divinity you saw with the catalog of brilliant divinity (SSS+) exclusive effect Observation of Divinity. By the catalog of brilliant divinity (SSS+) exclusive effect Observation of Divinity, you have selected that divinity. You can get aplete picture of it. It was simple. What he wants for himself is to climb the tower of trials to the final floor and be a transcendentalist. I just want to obtain the strongest power that no one in this universe can even think of against me anymore. Actually, the supernatural powers of the gods of darkness, demons, or dragon gods were also excellent options. However, the divine supernormal abilities possessed by the dark gods, demons, or dragon gods were also worth choosing. Thats because all the supernatural powers of that ancient godhead must have been the most brilliant of all the divinities in the universe. It was worth it. This side has already seen several times that the divinity < Darkness > possessed by the god of darkness has the most overwhelming power. Even more recently, I have seen the skill of subduing the god of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of eternity all at once belonging to that pantheon. Even if I chose the divine < Darkness >, the divine < Pandemonium >, or the divine < Dragon God >, I wouldnt regret it. Not even that. The divinity < Mad World > possessed by that demon god is the divinity of the concept of the world obtained by sympathizing with the world itself, and it should be close to obtaining the power of a certain world without any loss. It was the power given to the one and only ruler of the demon realm. The power to gain by bing the master of the Pandemonium, where there are a lot of high-ranking deities or people with monstrous powers close to it, has value beyond imagination. If all I wanted was to be the strongest ancient deity in the universe, that would have been a better choice. Truly, it would have been possible to obtain tremendous power with only one divine supernormal ability. It was not so different from the supernatural abilities of the dragon god, not the god of darkness or demon god. Thats right, although what Ive seen countless times while climbing the Tower of Trials is a conceptual divinity, Ive never seen a divinity engraved with a divinity like that divinity < Dragon God >. It wouldnt have made much of a difference whether I gained overwhelming power purely with the divine < Darkness >, or whether I became stronger by sympathizing with the world itself with the divine < Demon World >, or choosing the divine < Dragon God >. Only And-. Isnt that just a story when you wish to be an ancient deity with the strongest power in the universe? Thats why I gave up. At most, I wasnt looking for anything like being equipped with the mightiest of the ancient deities of the universe. Because what I want for myself is not to be one of the strongest ancient deities in the universe, but to be the one and only transcendent. transcendent. A lofty state that no one in this universe has ever reached beyond the Ancient Godhead or the Tower of Trials. Even if it is the Tower of Trials or the Ancient Godhead, having the power to press down lightly with your own power . Because that was the power this side wanted. There was only one best answer from the beginning. And Creating a neww in this universe. next moment. Start observation of divinity. By using the Divine Observation, the exclusive effect of the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+), you will get a perfect understanding of the divinity < Creation >. . . In an instant, the scenery reflected in my field of vision changed. A night sky embroidered with infinitely brilliant stars spread out before my eyes. But even so, there was no time to look at the starlight beyond the sky. What is this? It was worth it. Could that be-. Its not different-. The record of actual use of the divinity < Creation > is brought up by the effect Divine Observation exclusive to the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+). . The Tower of Trials is reproduced in part by the effect Divine Observation exclusive to the Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+). That is also very impressive. *** In an instant, my head turned white. It was just like that. This is the Brilliant Sacred Catalog (SSS+), and wasnt it all about finding out about the supernormal abilities of the Sacred Tower of Trials? I was perplexed because of that. It was something he had never even imagined that he would be able to see the Tower of Trials here. but for a while. no. Its too foreign to be called the Tower of Trials. Theres no way the Tower of Trials will reveal itself. Before I knew it, I recalled one of the system messages that appeared in the corner of my vision, and was able to escape the confusion. C The Tower of Trials is reproduced in part by the Divine Observation effect exclusive to the Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+). But Its strange. Somehow, the tower of trials reproduced by the Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) seen over there was different from what this side saw in the past. Isnt it slightly different from the Tower of Trials Ive seen before? sure Originally, this side had seen what the Tower of Trials looked like in the past by obtaining the divine < Harmony >. The Tower of Trials I saw at that time had an enormous size that seemed to reach beyond the sky, but apart from that, it must have had the structure of a tower. But that wasnt the case. No, rather than that Thats I wonder if thats a tower in the first ce? In the first ce, it would be safe to say that the Tower of Trials could no longer be ced in the category of Tower. Of course, they should be simr In fact, isnt that tower of trials reproduced by the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+) close to arge gray pir? Somehow, that Tower of Trials is somehow clumsy. Not even that. Unlike the enormous size of the original Tower of Trials, that gray pir is not that big. However, although that Tower of Trials looked like a gray pir, it certainly resembled the Tower of Trials I saw in the past. It feels like its like the initial appearance of the Tower of Trials If I had to ask, the Tower of Trials could be considered a prototype of the Tower of Trials I saw in the past. Tsutsutsu! but for a while. Conditions satisfied. The use method of Divine < Creation > is perfectly reproduced by the Divine Observation, an effect exclusive to the Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+). Seeing this, I had no choice but to wake up from trivial thoughts. ! It was because while this side was looking at the Tower of Trials in thought, a new change was taking ce. What the hell is this In an instant, the Tower of Trials over there or something close to its prototype shed a white light. What. It was felt. All of a sudden, the Tower of Trials, which looks like a gray pir, is gathering divinity, faith, and countless powers. very quickly too. Somehow, the goosebumps did not stop even though I knew that the Tower of Trials in front of me was a fake that the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+) had just imitated. Its amazing In fact, the divinity or faith that is gathering in the tower of trials, or the flow of stories, all of them couldnt even fathom the end. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-. And Conditions satisfied. Divinity < Creation > is activated by satisfying the special usage conditions. Divinity < Creation > is activated, and you can create something new in exchange for divinity, faith, and legend. The next moment. In the blink of an eye, the divinity, faith, legend, and other numerous powers of the Tower of Trials all vanished all at once, and only one result was drawn. Conditions satisfied. The Divine < Law > is activated by satisfying thepulsory use conditions. The Divine < Law > is activated while satisfying thepulsory use conditions, and the supernormal abilities of the Divine are distorted. It is nothing else The divinity < Creation > is activated and creates something new in exchange for divinity, faith, and tales . [Creationw: causality] was created by the divinity < Creation >. Indeed, this is a power close to that of a transcendental being. ** Tsutsutsu -. . In an instant, the visible space regained its original appearance. End of Divine Observation. The Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) exclusive effect Divine Observation will be deactivated afterpleting all the Divine Observation processes. The Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) exclusive effect Divine Observation will be disabled and The item ispletely destroyed. And then. under. Chak-. As it was, I smiled at the system messages that appeared in the corner of my field of vision. Really It was just like that. Its fun. In fact, the power of the divine < Creation > seen through the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+) was close to the supernormal ability outside the providence. I think I know roughly. and-. Which of the divine abilities of the Tower of Trials should I acquire more? The moment I took out an old book from my inventory as if I wouldnt even give myself a chance to fall in love. Ancient Book of Divinity Replica Grade: EXAncient book containing a very small amount of reappearance, one of the powers of the Tower of Trials. It is possible. However, after acquiring one of the divinities by cloning, the item itself disappears and disappears. Kwaaaak-. Following that, I wrote the Book of Divine Reproduction (EX) with eyes full of deep greed. . The Ancient Book of Divine Duplication (EX) exclusive authority Reappearance(٬F) is activated. The Ancient Book of Divine Duplication (EX) exclusive authority Reappearance(٬F) is activated, and one of the divine It is now possible to randomly select and acquire it. When you randomly select and acquire one of the divinities through the use of the Divine Duplicate Book (EX) exclusive authority Reappearance, the corresponding item will perish and disappear. Thats it . means one thing. Selectionplete. One of the divines was randomly selected by the Tome of Divine Duplication (EX) exclusive authority Reappearance. I hope I can be stronger soon. Exactly Acquired Divinity < Creation >. At this moment, I gained the one and only power to create newws in this universe. Chapter 412 412. Upper tier (4) In an instant, pure white divine light violently wrapped around his entire body. Selectionplete. One of the divines was randomly selected by the power Reappearance exclusive to the Ancient Book of Divine Replication (EX). Acquire one of the divinities by perfectly reproducing it through the exclusive power Reappearance of the Ancient Book of Divine Replica (EX). Even if it wasnt those system messages that appeared in front of my eyes, I already noticed that there was a new divine supernormal ability in my body. You have learned the Divine < Creation >. Divinity < Creation > is reced with potential. It is felt. . The concentration of pure power rages. This one should have be one of the ancient deities inscribed with conceptual divinity in the universe, and have been halfway free from the many risks that arise from the divinitys supernormal abilities. However, even with the power gained from bing an ancient god, it was not easy to endure the pressure of the supernatural ability of the divine that seeped into his body. It was huge. At this point, I wonder if it would be close to the activation of the divine < fighting spirit > or the turbulence of power close to it. There is a feeling of pressure that is different from when the divinity of the concept of the god of birth, one of the ancient deities, was obtained. Its bigger than I imagined. But thats for a while. but. The moment when I tried to smile at him while being surrounded by a pure white halo of divine light, and my eyes shed with interest. Isnt that all? In an instant, the pure white divine light was controlled. I dont think theres much trouble. It was natural. Yes, although the supernatural powers of the Divine that the Tower of Trials possesses are on a scale beyond imagination, they are nothingpared to the divinities built after countless trials and tribtions. In the blink of an eye, I manipted the flow of divinity inside my body and almost swallowed the divinity < Creation >. like crushing. gggg. and. Condition satisfied. The divinity < Creation > agrees with the users divinity. The divinity < Creation > is engraved into the users soul. That means one thing. Divinity imprintpleted. Divinity < Creation > is partially twisted by the users divinity < Transcendence >. Divinity < Creation > can be optimized ording to the users divinity, faith, and legend. Before I knew it, I had acquired the supernatural ability of creation, which was the only one in this universe, to a level close to the original or higher. By activating Divinity < Creation >, you can create something new in exchange for divinity, faith, and legend. That too perfectly. *** Coo-goo-goo-goo-! As soon as the divinity < Creation > was forcibly activated, the pure white divine light almost shook the surroundings. But even so, I wasnt particrly taken aback or amazed by the pure white divine light. Havent you already seen how the supernormal ability of the divine < Creation > is activated with the divinity observation effect of the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+)? This had already been figured out beforehand. Is that why? under. Even if it is the use of the divine < Creation >, there is not much difference. this. In response, I narrowed my eyes, gathering the divine light overflowing by the divine < Creation > in both hands. Its fun. It felt like I could handle supernormal abilities of the divine < Creation > as easily as any part of my body. I just have a sense of how to use my strength. Its not something I realized on my own. Originally, the divinity observation effect of the Brilliant Divinity Catalog (SSS+) would have been to perfectly grasp the divinitys abilities. It didnt stop at seeing the actual use of the divine < Creation >, it almost forcibly injected a lot of information about the divine < Creation > into my head. As a result, I had gained some realizations about how to use the divine < Creation > and how to use it. Certainly. Its a bit difficult, but and. I can roughly understand it. As it is, I put my own wishes into the Divine < Creation > and applied power to the Divine Supernormal Ability. Divinity < Creation > is the power to create new things by taking divinity, faith, and tales as the price. Originally, the Tower of Trials would have even inscribed a neww of creation called thew of cause and effect in this universe based on the divine < Creation > and the divine < Law >. Without any restrictions. In fact, the power of divine < creation > is that it can create newws of creation that do not exist in this universe, or new concepts of divinity, without any restrictions. Thats why its tricky. step. Tsutsutsu. Thats because the consumption of divinity, faith, and tales is also inconceivably greater depending on what is newly created with the divine < Creation >. Isnt that just a story when the conditions for using the divine < Creation > are met at the lowest possible level? Failed to use Divinity. The conditions for using the Divine < Creation > have not been met. There is an absurdck of divinity, faith, and tales that must be consumed as conditions for using the divine < Creation >. Kagagagagagagagagang-! It was simple. For example, if you want to build a power beyond that providence that does not exist in the universe, not at the level of creating something new with divine < creation >, you must also pay a corresponding price. If ones own divinity, faith, and narrative are poor, the supernatural ability of creation cannot be properly activated. Nothing is going to be easy like now. I roughly expected it, but its a pity. At that, I clicked my tongue and let out a sigh. Based on the original divinity < Creation >, I tried to create a new concept of divinity that could approach the transcendent. However, even if I poured all my divinity, faith, and story into the divine < Creation >, I could not achieve what I wanted by myself. I cant imagine that I wouldnt be able to use the supernormal abilities of the divinity even if I used up all my divinity, faith, and tales. I got it. Why was the Tower of Trials able to seed in carving a neww of causality into this universe based on the divine < Creation > and the divine < Law >? yep.. Isnt that because the amount of divinity, faith, and tales the Tower of Trials possessed was enormous enough to create a neww of creation, thew of cause and effect? But on the other hand, this wasnt the case. Are you saying that I cant write the supernatural abilities of a divinity with just my divinity, faith, and stories? Climbing the Tower of Trials, numerous divinities, beliefs, and tales have been built up to a level that is not insignificant even to think of yourself. Its absurd. However, despite this, it is infinitely clumsy and insufficient to construct a new power that does not exist in this universe. How much will I have to pay to get what I want with the alternative divinity < Creation >? It was absurd. Divinity, Faith, and Folklore Of course, I thought of a solution or two. Im wondering if Ill be satisfied with my faith if I roughly rule the world For example, what if, after being worshiped by countless people on Earth or in other worlds, we get divinity, faith, and tales? It cant be. step. Even if he dominates the earth or any other world and fills it with divinity, faith, and legends, thats not all. Its not a very realistic story. With that, Ill be able to collect enough of the divinity, faith, and the faith part of the tales, but besides that, the divinity and the tales arent particrly so. In fact, even if this side dominated the earth or other worlds, divinity and tales could not be easily filled. It seems that you have to kill about three or four ancient deities to obtain enough divinity and tales to be consumed by activating the divine < Creation >, but Even more so, if you consider that the divinity and folktales of this side are as muchcking as faith. Ill be thrilled. It was truly a price worthy of the divine power. Of course, there werews that eased the conditions for using divinities. Originally, the Tower of Trials would have inscribed newws of creation into this universe based on the divine < Creation > and the divine < Law >. I can see why the Tower of Trials didnt just use the divine < Creation >, but also mixed the divine < Law >. and. Perhaps even if its a Tower of Trials, relying on one power of the divine < Creation > has tremendous usage conditions, so Ive eased some of the usage conditions with the divine < Law >. Doesnt that mean that if one concept divinity can be mixed in the activation of the divinity < Creation >, the conditions for activating the divinity can be partially alleviated? C Divinity imprintpleted. -Divinity < Creation > is partially twisted by the users divinity < Transcendence >. C Divinity < Creation > can be optimized ording to the users divinity, faith, and legend. Not even that. Unlike the original divinity < Creation > that the Tower of Trials originally had, my divinity < Creation > was partially twisted by the concept of transcendence. Its just unknown what it means for us to be able to optimize ording to that divinity, faith, and legend. step-. Well, even if some of the conditions for using Divine < Creation > are alleviated with Divine < Transcendence >, it doesnt change that the conditions for activating Divinity are difficult. Still, one thing was certain. really. Even if the cost of activating the divine < Creation > was at any level, obtaining the new power this side desired would not change. None of these are easy. therefore. what. I was not disappointed. Thats all. High risk and high return. Actually, if all it takes is mass murder of an ancient deity and, in addition, gaining a world worth of faith, its going to be cheap. Isnt that one of the secrets to getting here? At least not as great a price as I would like. At that, I smiled and started to do the next thing I had to do one by one. The Tower of Trials is the Divine < Creation > and the Divine < Law > inscribes newws of creation in this universe. I was curious. Then, what about the divinity < Creation > and the divinity < Transcendence >? What will this side gain from the supernormal ability of creation? -What can it create in this universe? But even so, I didnt fret. Because the answer is not that far away. Just do what needs to be done right now. Its something Im really looking forward to. and. Shuk-. Following that, the moment I wished to climb the Tower of Trials. Condition satisfied. Since we have confirmed that challenger Seongyoon Han has been selected as the final candidate by the Tower of Trials, all restrictions are lifted. In an instant, a strange thing happened. Tsutsutsu -. I have already heard that the Tower of Trials selected this as the final candidate and all restrictions were lifted. He was probably thinking that no longer meddling deeply would mean the lifting of all restrictions. But it wasnt. The Tower of Trials unlocks exclusive privilege #F-121 [Trial Difficulty Multiplier]. Not so much. The trial difficulty [700%] increase multiplier limit by the exclusive authority #F-121 [trial difficulty multiplier] of the Tower of Trials will disappear. Realized. The Tower of Trials unlocks exclusive authority #F-114 [Allow Divine Intervention]. The Tower of Trials will cancel the exclusive permission #F-224 [blockingyer intrusion] The Tower of Trials grants exclusive authority #F-337 [trial content limited] Why did this side have to have many points of contact with the gods, in addition to the rising difficulty of the trials, which were different from the other challengers? Thats very certain. Chapter 413 413. Upper ss (5) In fact, it is not unexpected at all. Originally, the Tower of Trials should have selected and treated those who possessed divinity or had the potential to have divinity among numerous challengers. Not to mention, the Tower of Trials has had a different interest from other candidates since the time when its power was extremelyrge. Incredibly. Roughly, I knew that the Tower of Trials had some restrictions or tricks on me, but I already knew about that. In addition to that, the Tower of Trials has even attempted forced intervention several times, endlessly assessing the value I have and the risk in contrast to it. So, I already noticed that the Tower of Trials must have ced one or two restrictions on this side. Wasnt that the only thing But nevertheless, I couldnt hide my bewilderment as I watched the banquet of system messages filling my eyes. . The Tower of Trials will release the exclusive permission #F-114[Allow Divine Intervention] The Tower of Trials will release the exclusive permission #F-224[Block entry to the hierarchy] The Tower of Trials grants exclusive authority #F-337 [trial subject limited] It was an unexpected situation. It was just like that. Even if I expected that the Tower of Trials would put some restrictions on this side, it was just a general level. I had never even imagined that I would be suffering from penalties close to dozens or more. What Thats why I was shocked. Thats ridiculous Its not even that. Each of those numerous penalties must be fatal to the challenger. At this point, its a level where the Tower of Trials should be seen as letting this side die. And ordingly, I recalled one of the first system messages I had seen andughed out loud. C The Trial Difficulty [700%] increase multiplier limit by the exclusive authority #F-121 [Trial Difficulty Multiplier] of the Tower of Trials will disappear. Yeah, I thought the difficulty of the ordeal increased exponentially every time I climbed the tower of trials, so thats why. Doesnt that mean that each time this side climbed the Tower of Trials, it built up a hellish level of difficulty different from others? Its just that the Tower of Trials openly made it impossible to clear the trials any more, so its fair to say that they tried to kill me by stopping me. Also very well. I didnt know that they gave me so many penalties, but I felt a slight dizziness before I knew it and sighed. What the hell did you do to me It was the worst. The ordeal difficulty increase multiplier, divine power intervention allowed, hierarchical intrusion blocked, ordeal topics limited Even if this side died due to the numerous penalties, it would not have been so strange. I think I know why the Tower of Trials put so many restrictions on me. step-. There is a high possibility that the numerous penalties imposed by the Tower of Trials were a ploy in preparation for some kind of ident that was prepared to exclude me at any time. That was it. Because I would have decided to determine if I could be reced with something like the Battlefield of the Gods or Pacheonhwang, and throw it away if I no longer need it. Know. Originally, the Tower of Trials must have had the idea of scrapping this side based on the numerous penalties. To put it bluntly, the Tower of Trials was most likely intended to waste time by making it difficult for me to go up to a higher floor. doesnt need to worry about it. But isnt it now? Anyway, its in the past now. Its just that its just a gobi of the past that has already been over now, so Im just prioritizing what I have to do on my own. Right now, only one fact matters. And That the forced intervention by the Tower of Trials will not be so great anymore. I was curious about it. In other words The number of penalties that the Tower of Ordeals ced so that this side could no longer go up to higher floors have been lifted . Isnt it important that everything is initialized, even the forced magnification setting? There was a need to experience for oneself what kind of change it brought about in climbing the Tower of Trials. So And-. Lets see. The moment I enter the next trial, hoping that I will climb the tower of trials again. What level will the next ordeal be without the numerous penalties imposed by the Tower of Trials? In an instant, the space beyond the field of vision changed. Enter the 28th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Hard The subject of the ordeal is Indigenous Divinity. It was chilly. Shall we call it an environment close to snowy mountains or icy areas? A mere ordinary person cant even see an inch ahead, and the heavy snow is raging incessantly. And then I realized that I was standing in a snowy field with arge snowy mountain in front of me. Woo woo woo woo woo woo-. Not even that. Before I knew it, I was feeling the most bizarre divine wave from that snowy mountain beyond where I was standing. After seeing it, I couldnt help but frown as if I couldnt understand it after I finished grasping the wavelength of a certain divinity. Start the 28th floor ordeal. Time remaining C 1 month Trial breakthrough condition C Kill the native deity Guardian of the Snowy Mountain before it destroys the world Trial failure condition C Challengers death or remaining time End Trial Breakthrough Reward C White Mana Essence (S+) Trial Failure Penalty C Death Of course. Indigenous deity The system message that appeared in front of my eyes, and the remnants of power flowing from the divinitys wavelength, let me know what level of enemy this side had to deal with. Is that the clearing condition of the ordeal It was a purely irritating enemy. under. Thats I feel disappointed that the god of transcendence and death has to deal with an insignificant enemy. [Something like that? ] Its really because thats a weak prey thats not even worth coveting. *** Indigenous deity. I have already seen this side once while climbing the Tower of Trials. Perhaps they were the ones who exercised divine supernormal abilities while rooted in the world itself. They were so weak that they were not evenparable to a mere formal deity or a higher deity. under. So Annoying. no time consuming After all, such a native deity would be prey not even worth coveting. Even if they are enemies of a high rank or a formal god level, they are opponents who do not even send a message when theye face to face. The god of transcendence and death calmly bids death to a small creature seen over the snowy mountain. [You. ] and-. Divinity < Words > are used. You can consume divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world. However, a lot of divine power is consumed when you use words that interfere with thews of the world. Hurry up and waste your time. dont die Next moment. ! In an instant, ck divine light poured out. Before I knew it, this side had been sentenced to death based on the divine < words > and the divine < death >. In the blink of an eye, the supernatural powers of divinity mixed with each other, crushing the entire snowy mountain beyond and extinguishing it. Its also very neat. Crunchy-. That was it. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-. In fact, the enemys presence disappeared before even seeing the appearance of the enemy, who said that this was the native deity Guardian of the Snow Mountain. Im d I was able to finish it without wasting time. That means one thing. Its neat. It was simple. Absorbed the spirit of the native deity Guardian of Snow Mountain. Absorbed the spirit fragment [1/3]. Challenger Han Seong-yoon wins against the native deity and [ It is 0.003% closer to [transcendence]. All of a sudden, the native deity Guardian of the Snowy Mountain died due to the supernormal abilities of the divinity < Soul Spirit > and the divinity < Death > written by this side. [] [The mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy increases by 0.01%.] System messages appeared in front of my eyes, but they were not very valuable. Killing one of the indigenous deities would not be able to acquire a new divinity, increase the supernormal ability of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, or necromancy. I just look at the trials clear messages one by one in the snowy field where my eyes are slowly closing as if I have no interest anymore. Congrattions, you have broken through the 28th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, White Mana Essence (S+) will be sent to your inventory. You have acquired 1000000 Points as a breakthrough reward. You acquired 70000 SP as a breakthrough reward. As an additional breakthrough reward, the Frozen Wind Baton (A-) will be transferred to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. Its just that. It was ambiguous. Originally, the Tower of Trials was supposed to give out rewards in proportion to the difficulty level of the trials. It must have been a pretty good reward for killing just one native deity, but its not particrly satisfying. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated. The reward level increases with exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward]. Reward for breaking through 28th floor, white Mana Essence (S+) is enhanced with Snowke Mana Essence (SS+). Additional breakthrough reward on the 28th floor, Frozen Wind Baton (A-) is changed to Frozen Storm Baton (S-) It will be strengthened. But thats for a while. If the Tower of Trials doesnt work around, then the level of difficulty suitable for me in this floor is only 2. Realized. At this point, I had a sense of what level of trials I would have faced if the Tower of Trials had not ruled out this side based on numerous penalties. Even if it was a native god or a highly worthy enemy, he would have faced only weak enemies at the level of a formal god. Not particrly pleasant. There is no time to waste. Well, isnt it not too long before this side can face the three ancient gods on the side of the pantheon, and the god of despair, fall, and madness somewhere in this universe. In order to get what he wanted for himself, no matter how many times he cleared this level of trials, it didnt seem like there would be an answer. But Dan-. I did have a rough ie. That was it. That I can clear the trials given by the Tower of Trials without wasting any more time. In fact, as the number of floors in the tower goes up, the difficulty of the trials also increases exponentially. Then it would be simple. in other words-. It was about time to go. All you have to do is reach a high floor level where you can get the level ofpensation you want. -A ce called the topyer of the Tower of Trials. very quickly too. Chapter 414 414. Beginning of Age (1) Pantheon. The home of the numerous Higher Godheads and many of the Ancient Godheads in this universe. In fact, without the Tower of Trials, they would have been the most influential group in the universe. that-. Its not much different even with the Tower of Trials. Even if it was the Tower of Trials inscribed with a neww of causality in this universe, it would not have been possible to openly disdain the ancient deity belonging to the Pantheon. Not to mention, being scorned by a challenger from the Tower of Trials does not stop at chewing the cud of humiliation that has been forgotten for thousands of years. gugg-. Maybe thats why? A strange thing happened. That, too, is an unusual anomaly. gg gg gg gg gg gg -. The depths of the pantheon. Originally, unlike the normal appearance of a pantheon with numerous temples arranged here and there, the deep part has an infinitely bizarre structure. In addition to the ck background of the pantheon filled with the most utterly ck color of the universe or close to it, a ce where countless gray fragments float. Wow-. Even if it was the main god of the pantheon, it was a secret ce that only one person could not easily notice that there was a ce like this in the pantheon without going through some route. Chak-. The eternal god thinks of an infinitely hateful opponent and feels an unprecedented deep anger. [The god of transcendence and death] And then. [ this-. ] Following that, a twist of a new space urred in the depths of the pantheon, and the moment a ck-haired young man appeared. I feel the eternal gods anger and shame overflow unbearably. ] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-! In an instant, the light of divinity shimmers violently. The eternal god, who entered the depths of the pantheon before he knew it, gnashed his teeth and spewed out rage. He has been suppressing many negative emotions while being looked at with contempt by the gods of the pantheon. [Impurities that would have been mere insignificant mortals-! ] But now there was no reason to do so. [A bug that should have been nothing!! ] Well, since I came to this unexplorednd prepared in the depths, I dont even have to care about anyones gaze anymore. [You put me through such a humiliation! ] and-. [-How much more, do you think Ill be able to stand still if Im covered with shame that I have no way to wash away!! ] ! Not even that. When his wrathful emotions were violently expressed, the divine light even caused a wave of great power. With the power to easily destroy at least one world. However, since it is one of the unexplored ces hidden in the pantheon, the light of divinity did not destroy any of them, only extinguished leaving only a roar. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo cou coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo cosmic providence was a power befitting the concept of divinity. [ haha-. ] Even if he is a god of arrogance or a god of arrogance with an infinitely twisted temper, he will not carelessly underestimate the supernatural abilities of this divinity he acquired himself. C Ha. But ? Its absurd. God of transcendence and death. C I thought I had the power to match that remark because they said they were displeased with me at the Tower of Trials. It was so different. -You guys. In fact, they treated it as if none of the gods of arrogance, the god of arrogance, and the god of permanence were worth caring about. C How on earth did you have such confidence to talk bullshit to me? -Ah-. Because it was the only immortal nemesis in this universe that could even break the immortality of the ancient deity that was obtained by transforming itself into the concept of divinity itself. C You want to see me again? And C next time-. The moment when I remembered what he said at the end after that. -You guys will definitely tear it to death. I felt anger, shame, and a slight fear. [ under! To endure such humiliation? For what reason do we, the rulers of this universe, have to put up with the depravity of that arrogant thing? Its a woomun. ] Before I knew it, the evesting god shone with a twisted sense of inferiority and continued to speak as if persuading others. [ I cant let that polluted garbage install in this universe without even knowing my subject matter. ] and-. [ Thats my conclusion. Everyone would havee to the same conclusion as me. Maybe thats why everyone came here without any hesitation after seeing my proposal. ] Then, the moment when the eternal god swept his ck hair and uttered low words as if he had finally calmed down his anger. [ -God of arrogance and god of arrogance. ] In the blink of an eye, the other side of the space filled with ck light twisted, and a handsome man with brilliant blond hair and a white-haired man entered at the same time. The god of arrogance replies, feeling great shame, humiliation, and the intent to kill. [ Yes. dont agree To make the lowly things created by that tower of trials stop climbing. Thats what everyone wants. ] The god of arrogance shed his radiant blond hair and then sped his hands tightly as if expressing unbearable hatred. [ you. ording to what I told this body beforehand, I must have thought of something of my own. If thats a feasible n, its not impossible to join forces. ] But The god of pride feels a lot of anger, annoyance, and displeasure, and gets annoyed. [ ha. God of eternity Dont pretend to be friendly. I dont hang out because I want to hang out with you. Isnt it just that our understanding coincided with each other by chance? ] The god of pride, on the other hand, left his gray hair flowing and spoke with anger, annoyance, and unexined displeasure. [ But if I can crush that lowly thing to death somehow, as the arrogant god said, there is nothing I cant help with. ] Even so, it was a meaningless difference. It means that we will cooperate no matter what if our goals are aligned. In fact, the god of arrogance also expressed a willingness close to epting the proposal, which in the end is no different from the god of arrogance. The eternal god expresses his satisfaction with the reactions of others. is it so. well thats good Everyone agrees with me, no matter what. Great. ] Seeing this, the eternal god smiled as he realized that none of the people gathered in the unexplored ce of the pantheon refused to ept the secret offer. [I dont think theres any need to argue with each other, so lets get to the point. ] As if he was convinced that there would be no more quarreling over differences of opinion. [Its roughly an extension of the story we had at the Pantheon meeting. ] The eternal god continued with his eyes narrowed. [ I, like you, have no idea how the great gods of the pantheon protected those hounds. ] Coldly. [ but I am sure of one thing that the impurity forged as a de by the Tower of Trials has teeth that can bite and kill us. ] One, and that for a while. [ therefore-. ] The moment he shed his eyes stained with a clear murderous intent through his ck hair. [-Lets seal it. ] In the blink of an eye, the eternal god spat out words with a twisted intent to kill that was so vivid. [God of transcendence and death. Those impurities created by the Tower of Trials are vessels to be transcendental. They are contaminants that will randomly contaminate the providence and discipline in this universe. It is right to rule it out in advance. ] Before he knew it, his eyes were filled with the greatest anger, fear, and mad contempt. The god of arrogance replies, revealing annoyance. [ Heung. To make sure that the god of transcendence and death can no longer get close to the transcendent. Thats what everyone here wants. Its not exactly what you want. ] Nevertheless, the god of pride replied as if he had no interest in such things. [ isnt it just a problem because its the tower of trials or thew of causality that interferes with it? There has to be a solution to that C whatever. ] But The eternal god smiles with confidence. [ -The solution is already there. ] Hearing that, the eternal god showed a confident smile before the arrogant god could finish his words and continued. [Actually, the reason we cant touch Transcendence and the God of Death is because thew of causality that it newly created is bigger than the Tower of Trials. The solution to that has already been prepared. ] As if that was within the predicted category. [ Simple. ] in a confident tone. [The causality created by the Tower of Trials tends to be small or not applied at all to those who benefit from the Tower. So, transcendence and the god of death also belong to a fairly free axis in the causalw, right? ] And [That will give you a new answer. ] next moment. [Even if its not the same as it used to be because they were banished and abandoned by the Tower of Trials, we probably know people whose Tower of Trials can twist the causality a bit like that. ] In an instant, the face of the god of arrogance and the god of arrogance hardened. [ God of despair, fall, and madness. ] It was the most alien of the ancient deities in the universe. [He said he would give us a chance. ] An infinitely twisted incident urred. *** The number of floors changed in an instant. C The Trial Difficulty [700%] increase multiplier limit by the exclusive authority #F-121 [Trial Difficulty Multiplier] of the Tower of Trials will disappear. Originally, this side would not have been able to easily clear even one ordeal due to the numerous penalties imposed by the Tower of Trials. But now it wasnt. I was able to enjoy thefort that was different from before just by removing the numerous penalties imposed by the Tower of Trials. enormously too. Congrattions, you have broken through the 29th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, Wrath of Thunder (S-) will be transferred to your inventory. You have acquired 1100000 points as a breakthrough reward. As a breakthrough reward, You have acquired 75000 SP. As an additional breakthrough reward, Gray Cloud Staff (C-) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. 29th floor. The trials of this floor given by the Tower of Trials was to end the end of the world by natural disaster. The end of the world came to an end just by using the divine < birth > and the vast amount of mana umted by this side. Congrattions, you have broken through the 30th floor of the Tower of Trials. As a breakthrough reward, Mechanical Angels Remains (S-) will be sent to your inventory. You have acquired 1150000 points as a breakthrough reward . You acquired 76000 SP. No.1743 Alton Workshop Machine Armor (B-) will be transferred to your inventory as an additional breakthrough reward. Go to the waiting room. 30th floor. The condition for clearing this ordeal given by the Tower of Trials was to end arge-scale war in a highly developed scientific civilization. Somehow, in this field, I was able to clear the ordeal within one minute because I had skills close to elite (?). Congrattions, you have broken through the 31st floor of the Tower of Trials . You have acquired 78000 SP. As an additional breakthrough reward, Millennial Snow Three (S-) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. 31st floor. This time, the condition for clearing the ordeal given by the Tower of Trials was to repeat a certain number of victories over a month in arge martial arts tournament that took ce in a certain Moorim. It seems that the intention of the trials given by the Tower of Ordeal was not only to win, but also to experience the secret history within the Moorim for a month. guess, though. Achievement Pure yer has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 15. I do. Nothing else. Congrattions for breaking through the 32nd floor of the Tower of Trials. Congrattions for breaking through the 33rd floor of the Tower of Trials Congrattions for breaking through the 34th floor of the Tower of Trials In the blink of an eye I cleared the trials of the Tower of Trials one by one and received numerous rewards. Achievement Speed Run has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 20. However, since the level of the trials given by the Tower of Trials is so low, the rewards obtained by clearing the trials are not very impressive. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated. With exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward], the level of reward increases. Even if you upgrade the level of the trial reward based on supernormal ability, you cant get anything that valuable. Entering the 35th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Hard The subject of the ordeal is cooperative hunting. I hope that the challengers choice will result in a satisfactory oue. Is that why? Starting the 35th floor ordeal. Time remaining C 7 days Order Breakthrough Conditions C Kill 10 or more of the challengers designated as Hunted by the end of the remaining time or when they be Hunted Survive until the remaining time ends Trial failure condition C challenger death or remaining time end Trial breakthrough reward C all stats +100 trial failure penalty C death I was curious. . Assignmentplete. The role assigned to you in that stage is [Hunter]. Keep running away from [Hunter] until the remaining time in that stage ends. Isnt it? under. If the trials that the Tower of Trials gave away without countless penalties were so easy, it would only be natural for the other challengers to want to know what level of strength they would have. A pursuer and a fugitive Gradually, he got tired of following the set rules. Is there any need to run away? So Are you a hunter or a prey Wouldnt this be an opportunity to satisfy your curiosity? I thought it would be enough if I just killed them all without having to measure this and that. Funnily enough. Chapter 415 415. The beginning of the age (2) The understanding waspleted in an instant. . It was simple. After bing an ancient deity, this pure sense should have acquired tremendous insight far beyond the normal category. At this point, there was no need to build awork of detailed searches, using things like divinity, magic, or skills. Just by sneaking out some of the pure bodily sensations, you can instantly grasp a lot of information on stage. Divinity and Mana and Magi. It was felt. In the blink of an eye, I caught the energy of many challengers beyond the Great Forest. Most of the challengers who climbed the Tower of Trials I saw before must have been quite far from divine or demonic energy. But the people here are different. There are quite a few who have established individual divinitiesparable to formal apostles chosen by higher deities or formal deities, or those who appear to be actual apostles. Have some of them not stopped at the level of just having an assortment, but have even established a hierarchy sufficient to build the divinity of individual concepts Its not even that only. It wouldnt be easy to construct an individual concept of divinity if you didnt have the ability to absorb divinity, like one of the supernatural abilities of necromancy you have. But nheless, among the many challengers out there, not a few seemed to have won the divinity of the concept. Suddenly, the average is getting higher. I barely understood. Because thebined ordeal with other challengers in the original ordeal tower has a structure in which those who are equal are matched ording to the number of floors and ranking. Considering the high number of floors and the high ranking I have, everyone in this stage deserves to be called a high ranker. Really Is that so? Its quite a lot. Before I knew it, I had a curious smile on my face. For mortals. Should I say that I feel like I came to a buffet with good value for money? Even though its close, I think its a passing line. Even if it is only a pseudo-goddess level rather than a high-ranking deity or official deity, it will help, albeit weakly, to the abilities of necromancy. Its worth hunting at this point. and-. I cant wait to see how far I can benefit. It was then. Took-. Feeling a sudden change, I stopped moving to begin the hunt and let out a cold gaze. There was one gaze. I had noticed long ago that there were about three or four people not too far from where I was standing. Up to the fact that it is highly likely that all of them are assigned the role of a fugitive, not a hunter, but a prey. However, they did not pay much attention to me as they did not approach the ce where I was standing and seemed to be making some kind of preparation, but when this happens, the story changes. under. Thats very certain. thats annoying. In the blink of an eye, I let go of the mana in my body, revealing a vicious murderous intent. you. Coo coo coo coo coo coo!! -Come out right now before I tear you to death. Magical power with terrifying thunder shines with the intent to kill. At this point, arge amount of magical energy with the nature of thunder forms an air current close to a whirlpool, almost squeezing all directions. Even if the divine power of one of the ancient deities had not been added, the level of pure mana had reached a level iparable to that of a single challenger. Tadadak-. Kuh! I apologize! Oh dont get me wrong! I wasnt watching you with the intention of being hostile Is that why? It seems that the other party also felt the pressure. Suddenly, a female elf with white hair came out from behind arge tree with both hands raised and gave out a puzzled voice. It was to the point where he hurriedly hinted that he had no hostile intentions while putting down his pride, as if he felt the power of this side, even if it was a piece of it. whatever? That. Dont even think about cheating. . But Ill give you one minute. I didnt like it too much either. go away. Recognizing that this side is strong and being courteous is great, but the rest is not. Perhaps because they had a vague sense of the power I had, they seemed to be friendly with their pride thrown away Oh, I think you misunderstood. Like you, I am also in a position to y the role of the prey, not the hunter. Theres no reason to fight. Perhaps we can build a good rtionship through mutual understanding It was absurd. -Agreement of interest? Pee-it!! At that moment, hearing the voice of the female elf filled with endless fear, I lightly moved the des of my hands and built an invisible de. In the blink of an eye, the shot of the sword grazed the female elfs right cheek and did not stop there, elerating once more and cutting down arge number of trees. Its also very neat. So, so, so, so, so, so!! That sounds like a lot of fun. And as a result, he smiled with a twisted smile while taking the sight of countless trees falling down as a spectacle. Theres no way there can be a consensus of understanding when the difference in skills is this big, right? . But.. they trade. Could it be that he came up with a different proposal after seeing the power this side had? Ill give you what I have, so in return, cant you just let me survive until the end of this ordeal? Originally, for us, that white-haired female elf was something close to a flying insect or an ant, so no matter what the cost, there would be no interest in it. I will offer you the highest grade items among the rewards obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials in exchange for protection. But this is different. But if you dont like this deal as well, I wont go against your will any longer and Ill make sure to step away Yeah Ill ept. In fact, among the rewards that can be obtained from the Tower of Trials, special items such as skill proficiency increase potions or designated stat increase potions can greatly strengthen this side. At that point, its well worth the deal. Not even that. I think I know roughly. Realized. How to get the most efficient profit. This means that there is the most efficient way to receive and receivepensation, even thinking for yourself that this side can get the maximum benefit from those numerous challengers. Trade or extortion. Wouldnt that be a way for even weaklings who do not benefit from the supernatural powers of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > or Necromancy to benefit greatly? Actually, this was the biggest reward that could be obtained from the challengers climbing the Tower of Trials. Originally, while climbing the Tower of Trials, I must have squeezed out countless items by trading or transferring items with numerous challengers. Somehow, recently Ive been seeing more enemies like Ancient Gods or Higher Gods, so I just forgot about them because I didnt have much use for them. It was worth using. whopping. ssss-. but for a while. we have to get out of here. Before I knew it, the female elf with white hair let out a voice tinged with tension as if she was nervous. Its even better that you epted my deal, but suspicious signs are quickly approaching around here. It was worth it. ording to the conditions for clearing the trials on the 35th floor given by the Tower of Trials, the hunter must be in a situation where he must find his prey and kill it quickly. As a result, it was obvious that numerous challengers who saw me using the heart sword would narrow their pursuit like the hyenas in charge of blood. If you take into ount twenty or even the number of people who have not been detected by my feelings, there is a high possibility that it will easily exceed thirty. There was really nothing different. It was felt that a number of challengers were approaching, drawing an encirclement to the ce where this side was standing. Should I say that it is like a fish that sees the bait caught on the bobber and approaches without knowing that the one holding this rod is a predator? It was ridiculous. keep your cool. But its best to back off here. Could it be that he recognized this as a crisis of desperation? theres no benefit to being here any longer. Before she knew it, she spoke as if persuading, convinced that neither of them would be able to survive if they stayed here any longer. If we continue like this, we will face the worst situation from which we can never return. No way. Even if you have a strength that is different from that of ordinary challengers on this stage, you should know that fighting in front of that number is irrational!! Only Well, Thats only for a moment . Anyway, even if hundreds of people gathered, those flying insects wouldnt be able to inflict any damage. therefore-. and. I will teach you. That means one thing. Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! The power skill Star Light is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. Its nothing else . The skill Symbol of Destruction is strongly activated. A certain amount of All types of abilities gain destruction correction by consuming magic power. Divinity < eleration > is used. All abilities of Challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly elerated and be faster. . Skills Starlight expansion is strongly activated. All types of starlight are greatly expanded, resulting in a performance improvement of up to 4 times. It was simple. Once youre halfway dead, everyone will definitely notice. In fact, I thought to make them realize that rules such as hunters and prey are no longer important in this stage. To dedicate the items obtained from the Tower of Trials to me. That way, those countless challengers who are engulfed in infinite fear will be able to easily obtain numerous items from me. That it is the only way they will survive. This will no longer be a ce where challengerspete to the death, but will be a breeding ground where you will receive countless items as tribute until you like this side. Excellently. next moment. ! In the blink of an eye, ck starlight spread in all directions and swallowed everything. Chapter 416 416. The beginning of the age (3) In an instant, the divine starlight shines ck and colors the surroundings. ! It was doom. It is a possibility that blossomed after reaching the limit of necromancys supernormal ability, and it is the only unchanging power of death in this universe. It would be tantamount to a death sentence if you were just establishing the unique concept of divinity in the Tower of Trials, or if you were at the level of an apostle chosen by a higher deity. Kkwajijijijijikjik! There was really nothing different. In the blink of an eye, the whole snowfield area was swallowed up by the divine starlight, and I was able to get the life and death rights of countless living beings in my hands. Just having the desire to crush and kill so many challengers will cause them to explode and die like a swarm of ants under peoples feet. Simply put. gggggggggg-! But it didnt. However, they controlled the divine starlight so that they would not be killed by the divine < Death >, and only breathed in a state infinitely close to death. If you kill all of them as you please, you wont be able to get skill proficiency increase potions or stat boost potions. Its neat. But. Daldaldal-. Was it more of a shock to the other side? Ah ah ah The white-haired female elf stammered with a pale expression on her face. What the hell is this Its not even that. Suddenly, the white-haired female elf was trembling like an aspen tree, showing extreme fear. Even more, she even showed a reaction close to panic when she saw the entire stage in the snowfield being swallowed up by the light of the divine stars. So you said that? Maybe this side has finished grasping the situation, unlike when they spit out nonsense that they were going to worship without being able to do anything about it These are just ants or bugs to me. I spoke to the white-haired female elf who was sitting on the cold floor with a smile on his face. under. At this point, there is nothing to hesitate about. Are you a hunter or a prey? Before I knew it, I showed my divinity even stronger with a cold smile on my face. Arent those the weak things that arent worth arguing about? The Divine < Death > should have supernormal abilities to handle life at will. Then it bes simpler. Even if they were put into a state that was infinitely close to death due to the light of the divine star, they couldnt even die at will unless they wished for it. Following trivial rules is over. Of course, I have no intention of mercifully saving them. So Of course. This side has already realized that half of the numerous challengers who have already activated the divine < Death > and obtained the right to escape from life and death are not worth squeezing out items for. If so, is it decided where to use them? Even if theyre not even at the level of mere ants or weak-sized bugs, theyll be worth using as teaching materials to teach them the new rules theyre about toe up with. Lets try again from the beginning. And Using Divine < Death > Divine < Death > erodes everything ording to the users will. You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >. That way, I can get a lot of items from them as tribute without wasting time on persuasion. That means one thing. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-! It was carnage. *** Chee Hee Hee Hee-. Countless system messages appear in front of you, announcing changes in weak power. Challenger Seong-Yoon Hans victory against the Apostle brought him 0.001% closer to [Transcendence]. Challenger Seong-Yoon Hans victory against the Challenger brought him 0.001% closer to [Transcendence] By doing so, [Transcendence] is increased by 0.001% The myth < Possibility of Transcendence > that this side possessed was activated, and [Transcendence] slightly increased. Of course, nothing much has changed. Well, the level of divinity or the level of spirituality has certainly risen, albeit low, but it is not to a level that can be felt so greatly. Although the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is the possibility itself of a transcendent who can go beyond the ancient deity, it cannot be eaten raw. Couldnt it be stronger with an apostle chosen by a godhead or a pseudo-godhead thats no different from that level? Even if they are close to ants or wormspared to the power this side has, Shinhwas growth mileage is too low. Well, even if its a high-level deity or a formal deity, Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > couldnt fill even 1% of [Transcendence] Of course, I dont have a lot ofints . In fact, the fact that you can be stronger just by killing enemies who are weaker than you is a huge advantage that is unmatched by others. Bondi necromancy alone would not have been able to be this strong, so he is aware that the performance of Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > is undeserved. After all, there is no answer to anything other than killing more ancient deities, one of the rulers of this universe. There was only one solution. Killing three or four ancient deities, who are regarded as one of the rulers of this universe, would be the shortcut to achieving ones wishes with absolute certainty. There is a certain way to unleash the supernormal abilities of the divinity < Creation > or the mythical < Possibility of Transcendence > without any loss. At this point, Im going to miss all the fatal penalties the Tower of Trials put on me. At that, I clicked my tongue and slowly got out of my thoughts. Anyway, if you climb the tower of trials, the clear difficulty of the trials will soone, and the moment wille when you will face an exponential rise. and-. Until then, devising ways to get the maximum benefit while reducing the waste of time in this Tower of Trials would be the most efficient action. After that, the moment you finish reminding yourself what to do. ssss-. In an instant, people rose from the barrennd. There were many challengers who came nearby after seeing themotion on this side, so dozens of challengers could be seen everywhere. They allined of great pain as if they were covered with a deadly poison that no one could detoxify . Why is the auto-regeneration skill not working!! I cant squeeze out any mana at all!! Whehe! This is this is what a challenger did? did someone do it? Is that possible? this-! Seebaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Stop talking like a dog! why why why-! I used the elixir, but is it impossible to recover!! However, some of them tried to get rid of the supernormal ability of the divine < Death >, to see if there was a countermeasure that they obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials to the upper floors in their own way, but it only ended in meaningless struggle. The myth of transcendence < absolute immutability > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons actions will have the divine effect of < denial of alteration >. . From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < one and only >. Outside phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission. Even if it is an ancient deity that is the head of this universe, it will not be able to easily wash away the divinity < death >, but hasnt the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > been activated? There is no way that mortals who have barely attained divinity in the Tower of Trials can erase the supernormal abilities of divinity. Chak-. Seeing that, I approached the challengers who were lying on the destend and spoke to them with a smile. The god of transcendence and death looks at mortals, revealing infinitely deep greed. [Shall I fix it? ] Not to mention, since it was a holy war of divinity that contained a part of the divinity of this side, those on the other side also showed an immediate reaction. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It was you guys!! dare! Doing this to me, the prince of the Habanant Empire!! Ill kill you right now Well, there was a male suicide attempter who told an interesting story to see if he had noticed anything about the power this side has, but its not worth worrying about. Im sorry-! Absorbed the spirit of the challenger, Kariggs Habanant. Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the challenger, bringing him 0.001% closer to [Transcendence]. Because the mans head had been unknowingly severed and he was rolling on the ground. Took-. miserably. [Dont be annoying. ] I spoke to him with a cold voice. [I didnt ask the likes of you guys hoping that you would spit out an answer like that. ] . [If you give me all the many items you got from the Tower of Trials, I will take my divinity and fix it. ] . No answer came back. [Its not a role y of being a boring hunter or prey, but giving a lot of items as a tribute is your chance to survive. ] But [Simple, right? ] I felt it. [So] Its nothing else-. [Make your choice. ] Those who must have built up high self-esteem by climbing the Tower of Trials to the upper floors before they knew it began to have an infinitely greater fear. The god of transcendence and death smiles and shows mercy to mortals. [Should I heal or kill? ] Incredibly. *** In an instant, countless items are pouring in as offerings. Achievement Best Item Looter has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from achievements increases. All stats increase. It rises by 10. Its an elixir!! The essence of ancient alchemy and can heal any wound! I will offer you my elixir! Ahhh! Relic! What about my relic? It is a holy relic bestowed by the god of Zenw!! I can create illusions of divinity! Whoa! How about the most valuable elixir that Bob Bon Confucius possessed, doll snow ginseng! It is one of the nobles that has the greatest effect in enhancing my internal energy! It was huge. All this side did was to take in the divinity that was exhaled. However, despite this, numerous items that could be obtained from the Tower of Trials were flowing into their hands. Its wonderful. Not to mention, there were quite a few special items such as skill proficiency increase potions, stat increase potions, or skill acquisition books that were the most valuable in the Tower of Trials. [The skill Steel Eat is activated.] Now, even though they are vague items that are not worth using, they were able to even recycle them based on their skill Steel Eat. Completely absorbed. Muscle strength increases by 1. Stamina increases by 1. Durability increases by 1. Magic power increases by 1. And finally . Time ends. You seeded in running away from the [Hunter] until the remaining time within the stage is over. Did they say that if there is a beginning, there is an end? The ordeal is over when you feel like youve squeezed it all out. Well, anyway, this sidepleted the ordeal clear conditions set forth by the Tower of Ordeal casually, but some of them seemed to be in a hurry, perhaps not. Because the penalty for failing to clear the ordeal is death. Kwazijik-! So we acted effectively. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against the challenger brought him 0.001% closer to [Transcendence]. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against the challenger brought him 0.001% closer to [Transcendence]. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans By winning against this challenger, 0.001% of [Transcendence] is Nice. It is truly farming that has reached the peak of efficiency. Originally, those who failed to kill a certain number of challengers by the Tower of Trials are guaranteed to die. Even if I leave them like this anyway, death is the same thing, so I made it a handful of additions to the mythological < Possibility of Transcendence > following my supernatural ability of necromancy. Neatly too. Perfect. But. Daldaldal-. Was it a shock to them? Seeing that quite a few challengers died in the blink of an eye, they all shuddered in fear. Even more so, the white-haired female elf who took care of her protection until the end of the ordeal was no different. . Before she knew it, her eyes lost focus and shed tears silently, radiating fear close to trauma and relief at surviving. It was no different from the rest standing near her. Even if they have climbed this tower of trials to the upper level, they seem to have no intention of going beyond it. I dont have to see them any more. Well, as long as this side climbs this tower of trials, they will have to tremble in fear that cant be washed away. They are different from me. Theres no way well run into each other next time. That was all. Congrattions, you have broken through the 35th floor of the Tower of Trials. All stats increase by +100 as a breakthrough reward. You have acquired 1500000 points as a breakthrough reward. . As an additional breakthrough reward, Pure Madmans Pendant (S+) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. Now it was time to go to the next floor. Chapter 417 417. The Age of Beginnings (4) Chak-. Congrattions, you have broken through the 35th floor of the Tower of Trials. Breakthrough reward increases all stats by +100. You have acquired 1500000 points as a breakthrough reward. You acquired 80000 SP as a breakthrough reward. As an additional breakthrough reward, Pure Madmans Pendant (S+) will be sent to your inventory. Go to the waiting room. After passing through the portal ced in the center of the stage, passing through the message of clearing the ordeal appearing in front of my eyes, the familiar scene of the waiting room was reflected in my field of vision. You entered the waiting room on the 36th floor. At that, I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips in a strange way. Its the 36th floor upper tier. In the Tower of Trials, near the 10th floor or 20th floor, close to the lower section, but closer to the upper section. Before he knew it, he had reached the upper level, which is said to be a fairly high floor even among the challengers climbing the Tower of Trials. It must havee up quite a bit for a short period of time of less than a month at most. step. Its just like that. That was it. Its a little strange, but theres nothing particrly sentimental about it. If I had to question it, should I say its surprising that it wasnt so difficult, contrary to the previous expectation that climbing the Tower of Trials would be tough? But even that didnt feel great. So, if he transformed into the concept of divinity itself and became an ancient deity, one of the rulers of this universe, it would take some time, but there was no way he would fail in climbing the Tower of Trials. Actually, going up to this upper ss was something that had already been decided. It was boring. Is it because the increasing effect of the trial difficulty caused by the numerous penalties that have been suffered so far has all disappeared? After returning from the Pantheon, he did not like any of the trials even though he was engrossed in climbing the Tower of Trials. I cant believe that the disappearance of numerous penalties from the Tower of Trials was a bad thing rather than a good thing for me. At least, the trials on the 35th floor, given by the Tower of Trials, were unified trials, so he received items from numerous challengers as offerings and earned a nice side ie, but the rest were not. In general, the quality of each and every one of the ordeals, from the difficulty of clearing the ordeal to the reward for clearing the ordeal, has declined to the point where it ispletely different from before. It was serious. Compared to my strength, I felt it was more difficult to endure excessive boredom when dealing with enemies who had achieved a hierarchy close to ants or flying insects. Not to mention, since the ordeals of the Tower of Trials were all lowered, it was not possible to achieve meaningful growth with the Supernatural Ability of Necromancy or the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > following the ordeal clear reward. Its annoying. I knew the answer. ording to the original nature of the Tower of Trials, the difficulty of clearing the ordeal will increase exponentially as you go up the floor. In fact, the difficulty of clearing the ordeal was gradually increasing. It seemed that if he could reach the mid-40th floor section or the early 50th floor section while climbing the Tower of Trials repeatedly, he would regain his previous growth rate to some extent. But it just feels infinitely slower. I dont have much time left. Most of the powerful people in this universe must have feelings close to contempt for me. Whether its the god of despair, fall, and madness lurking somewhere in the universe, or the ancient godhead in the pantheon, Ill be messing around at least once. Even more, those like the ancient deities and the higher deities who figured out that this side would reach the Transcendental One couldnt stand still. Theres no ce to retreat anymore. It was already evident when the god of despair, fall, and madness had sent the god of the sky down to Earth to y tricks. I have to be strong until then. In fact, even though you have climbed the Tower of Trials beyond the 40th floor, if you are not suitable for growing yourself, you will have to seek a new method. And, as far as this side knows, a new way to elevate the status of divinity may not be a way that they like very much. Of all the deities I saw in the Tower of Trials, who became stronger in a very short time, all of them adopted methods that did not consider mortals at all. step. Theres nothing to worry about. To him, I let out a cold-eyed smile with a smile close to a mockery. If I can get a new possibility by just throwing away this ambiguous humanity, Ill just do it. If you can reach the Transcendental Being by throwing away all your own weak humanity, there is no choice but to choose it in the end. I got a sense of what kind of alternatives there are. step. therefore. That was it. Until then, its enough to climb the Tower of Trials. Isnt that thest option anyway? That way, I can choose whether the Tower of Trials is worth more to me or if I have to choose another alternative. With that, I got out of my thoughts and did each and every thing I had to do. Uses all possessed spirits to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength has increased by 9. Agility has increased by 8. Your physical strength has increased by 9. Magic power has increased by 11. Durability has increased by 10. Concept has risen by 1. By consuming the spirits newly obtained through Necromancy at once, all stats were increased. Its at a level that can be tolerated. In fact, considering that all of the challengers at the Tower of Trials were at a level close to the swarm of ants, they achieved a high level of improvement in their own way. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated. The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward]. The 35th floor breakthrough reward increases all stats by +100 to increase all stats by +200. The 35th floor additional breakthrough reward Pendant of Pure Madness (S+) will be strengthened to Pendant of Pure Torsion (SS+). nice. Thats not all. To put it bluntly, the +200 increase in all stats given by the Tower of Trials as a reward for clearing the 35th floor is also satisfactorypared to the useless items obtained from the previous floor. Theres nothing better than being able to sublimate ones physical abilities into a special move thats close to one divine supernormal ability by divine < fighting spirit >. But this is not all. step. Shuk-. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If I had to argue, the +200 increase in all abilities, which is the reward for clearing the ordeal, is a valuable reward in its own way Its not different-. Well, at least. After that, the moment you open your inventory. Actually, the biggest gain I got this time is something else. Numerous items piled up in the inventory were pouring out. Not just low-grade items that can be seen everywhere, but rather high-grade items that are worth enough to hold on to greed, whoever they are, piled up like a mountain. There are also several items with rare value, such as skill proficiency raising potions, which are impossible to obtain at all in ces other than the Tower of Trials. The skill Steel Feed is strongly activated. Shall we start lightly? but for a while. Complete absorption. Muscle strength increases by 4. Agility increases by 3. Your physical strength increases by 4. Durability increases by 6. Magic power increases by 5. Anyway, most of the numerous items were ambiguous for this side to use, so I finished processing them appropriately. The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering (B) is activated. I received 11 items from myself. Reces the corresponding items with divine power and umtes them in the heart. It didnt even take that much time. Its because Ive already done it dozens of times to rece useless items in one of the divinity or stats. After disposing of the items piled up like a mountain in the blink of an eye, only high-end items with high use value remained. Skill Proficiency Up Potion Rating: B+ A special potion specially produced by the tower for beings with skills. When taken, one of the possessed skills can be arbitrarily increased by 30%. For challengers who climb the Tower of Trials or those who have skills through the system, special items such as skill proficiency increase potions can forcibly increase the skill grade, so the higher the skill grade, the higher the value of use. You consumed a skill proficiency increase potion (B+). Select a skill to increase your proficiency. Is that why? Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons power skill, Star Light (SS-) mastery increases by 210%. The moment when he consumed all of the Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+) that he possessed. The mastery of the power skill Star Light (SS-) has reached 100%. The grade of the power skill Star Light (SS-) will rise by one level. The mastery of the Authority skill Star Light (SS) has reached 100% The level of the Authority skill Star Light (SS) will go up by one level Even if the mastery of the power skill Star Light (SS+) reaches 100% The level of the Authority skill Star Light (SS+) is one step higher In an instant, the rank of the skill soared to a ce close to the ceiling. Now, from the Honyuan Demonic Sword to the Holy Light, has it reached the SSS-ss level? Among the skills this side has, the skill of the star that can give the greatest wide-area damage has reached the SSS-ss. Even when he was just a high-ranking god, after the Hunyuan demon sword grew to SSS-level, he was able to momentarily exert destructive power close to that of an ancient god. That means one thing. How much stronger the holy light has be after the Hunyuan Demonic Sword. In fact, the star light this side possesses is not limited to the original star light possessed by the Dragon God, and it is highly likely that it has a higher degree of perfection. Thats something to look forward to. wonderfully too. Selectionplete. Challenger Han Seong-yoons concept increases by +70. Constitutional improvementpleted. Your physical strength has risen by +10. Mana absorptionplete. Magic power has increased by +20. Its neat. In an instant, he finished preparing to climb the Tower of Trials again by using designated stat-up potions and various elixir-type items. At this point, theres nothing more I need to do. however. Slowly go to the next trial Contrary to the original n, it was not possible to climb the Tower of Trials right away. Condition satisfied. We have confirmed that the total number of people who have broken through the trials on the 35th floor of the Tower of Trials has exceeded 1500. uh? Suddenly, system messages appeared in my field of vision just as I was about to move to a new floor. System expansion begins. Start of extension of permission. System expansion? Not different Acquired exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice]. When entering a new ordeal, it bes possible to autonomously select the ordeal theme ording to the unique keyword. However, the autonomous selection of the trial theme must be decided within three options optimized for the individual by unique keywords. Depending on the choice, the content of the trial will change. It was an unexpected upheaval. Chapter 418 418. The Age of Beginnings (5) Acquired exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice] When entering a new ordeal, the autonomous selection of the trial theme ording to the unique keyword It bes possible. However, the autonomous selection of the trial theme must be determined within three options optimized for the individual by unique keywords. The content of the ordeal varies depending on the choice. Of course, it was already known that the Tower of Trials expands its own system ording to certain conditions whenever it reaches a certain number of floors. I never thought the Tower of Trials would greatly expand the system this far at this timing But this was not the conventional way. None of the system expansions by the Tower of Trials I saw before were like this. Yes, the new system expansion led by the Tower of Trials this time had a tremendous influence on numerous challengers who were different from the existing system expansion. At least its not something to be taken lightly. Before I knew it, I nced at the system messages that upied a corner of my field of vision and narrowed my eyes as if I couldnt understand. Just because the Tower of Trials cleared up to the 35th floor trials, the system is expanded and challengers are given new exclusive privileges Even if they gave a reward for the rise of doing it, they did not give a reward without any cost. Theres no way the Tower of Trials would do such a one-sidedly good job for a challenger for that reason, right? Not to mention, this side knew what value the power of exclusive authority of the Tower of Trials had, so they were able to figure out that this was not a reward obtained without any cost. In fact, the most realistic story would be that the new exclusive privilege itself given by the Tower of Trials is not beneficial to the challenger. And Ill have to find out if thats actually the case. The moment he came to his own conclusion about the new exclusive authority given to him by the Tower of Trials. . You have entered the formal climbing dimensionmunity. Difficulty C Hard 36th Floor Community [Channel: A-1] (987/1511)-Follower of the Abyss (Nicalium): Hmm.. .. Did I say it was a field of choice? If anyone is interested in trading with points for detailed information on this, please contact me. It will be a good deal for each other. -Lord of Sky Ind (Tavan): Ttuk. I cant help it. I will give you a chance to be favored by this lord. Exin in detail about the field of choice. Then, when we meet in the next integration ordeal, Ill spare you. C Grand Master of the Red Mage Tower (Ares): Sells advanced information about the field of choice. It can be traded as a record book on ancient me magic or a magic relic. If you try to bargain, you will be permanently blocked In an instant, you checked the chats within themunity. Its been a while since Ive been interested in the chat function because theres no benefit to see it as amunity in the tower of trials unlike before, but it was worth using in the current situation. Even more so, in a situation where the Tower of Trials handed new exclusive privileges to challengers due to system expansion, if you were lucky in their conversations, you would be able to reap the benefits. -Librarian of the Universal Library (Ares): This is an information about the exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice] given by the Tower of Trials. Like this one. -Librarian of the Universal Library (Ares): In the Choice of Choice, whenever you respond to a new ordeal, you can autonomously select a trial theme from the options ording to the unique keyword. -The librarian of all things library (Ares): Like the unique characteristics, the unique keyword referred to in the Choice of Selection is information that the Tower of Trials has selected based on personal disposition, life, and aptitude. -Librarian of the Universal Library (Ares): When activating the Choice in the waiting room, it is possible to select or check the unique keyword. -Librarian of the Universal Library (Ares): Depending on which of the Choices you choose from the Choice of Choice, the difficulty of clearing the ordeal will change, so please be careful. -Librarian of the Universal Library (Ares): Thats it. It was simple. At this point, it can be said that I have grasped all of the exclusive authority #G-1047[Selection Chapter] that this side has. Well, it is unknown whether what the other side exined in the chat is true or not, but the possibility that it is fake information is very low. Theres no reason to do that if you were trying to gain some kind of benefit by leaking fake information to themunity in the first ce or to exclude other challengers. Thats right, since most of the chats over there are fake, theres no benefit in spreading fake information to themunity like that. Its very likely to be true. Even if that unknown challengers chat was just a lie, there wouldnt be any damage to this side of the trick. Shuk-. Its not even that. Cant this side get some advice from a senior (?) who has already climbed the Tower of Trials to the other side. Noticing that, I lightly ced my hand on the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword tied around my waist and spoke with a smile. Isnt it the right time for you to give me some advice after a long time? D I know roughly what youve been watching since a while ago, so please answer me. D Tsk. Anyway, you dont give me a chance to rest and make me tired. Unlike you, who doesnt blink an eye even after killing an ancient deity, I need my own rest-. So what is the answer? DIts true. At that, the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and trembled, followed by Damcheonwus voice. DThe field of choice and the self-selection of trials themes ording to unique keywords are a benefit and a turning point for upper-level challengers. Originally, as he climbed the Tower of Trials and even got a chance to be revived as a manager, his tone was filled with confidence derived from experience. DEvery time you enter a new ordeal, instead of being able to choose the theme of the ordeal yourself, the difficulty of clearing the ordeal also increases tremendously. . DWell, there are many other difficulties, but it will be the easiest to understand if you look at your unique keywords as themunity is talking about. understand. but for a while. I think the most important thing is what kind of unique keyword I have And. Even if its not, Im definitely going to look at the unique keyword. next moment. Exclusive authority #G-1047[Selection Chapter] is forcibly activated. Exclusive authority #G-1047[Selection Chapter] is activated in situations other than the conditions for use and twisted. Thats right, the fact that the Tower of Trials gives unique keywords based on an individuals disposition, life, and aptitude is no different from the principle of unique characteristics blooming When he saw it, he smiled with interest. By exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Selection], I can read challenger Han Seong-yoons unique keyword. A very excited smile too. *** Necromancy. That is the power obtained after clearing the first trial in the Tower of Trials. Even if it was an ancient deity, one of the rulers of this universe, there was never a time when that necromancys supernormal ability didnt work. ssss-. Is that why? . Dedicated authority #G-1047[Choice Chapter] identified Challenger Han Seong-yoons unique keyword. I browse keyword. At this point, I was curious. Why did the Tower of Trials make that supernatural power of necromancy bloom in me? Even more so, if the Tower of Trials blooming the unique characteristics of the challenger itself is based on the individuals life, inclination, and aptitude, the answer is not too far away. Yeah, if the Tower of Trials gives a unique keyword to the challenger, like blooming a unique characteristic, that itself will be the answer. and-. The next moment. By exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Selection], a total of 17 unique keywords of challenger Han Seong-yoon are disyed. showed up Tsutsutsu -. But 0. . 1. Second #. 2. Porridge ? 3. Ooh^#! ? It was strange. What is this again Its nothing else-. Is this a unique keyword? In fact, most of the unique keywords this side has are just unrecognizable letters. Its ridiculous. Of course, some of the unique keywords were fairly identifiable. 5. $ of chaos 6. A natural talent 7. Fire of Destruction 8. Beetle Light? Dan-. Ha. Even if this was a unique keyword with a recognizable shape, there were some letters that I didnt know why. Yes That meant one thing. At this point, you shouldnt even look at unique keywords. In fact, it was impossible to understand why the Tower of Trials gave him the supernormal ability of Necromancy or to find out the unique keywords. Some unique keywords, such as natural talent or incarnation of destruction, can be roughly recognized, but other than that, I cant figure it out. At this point, there is no need to waste time. Are you going to cover all unique keywords? and. Either way. next moment. Its enough to learn each unique keyword in the new ordeal anyway. As it was, I watched the flood of system messages while entering a new ordeal. . Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice Chapter] satisfies the conditions and activates automatically. Based on this, three options are presented. With the exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice], the trial theme can be confirmed when one of the three options is selected. And . Choose one of the three options. 1. . 2. $ of chaos 3. A natural talent Therefore, the moment I pressed the first option. Selectionplete. Autonomous selection of the ordeal theme. ording to the unique keyword, , the ordeal theme has been confirmed as The Age of Beginning. A new ordeal has begun. Chapter 419 419. Field of choice (1) Field of choice. It was one of the benefits of being able to choose the trial theme that the Tower of Trials gave to the challengers who had reached the upper levels, and it was an ability that was even called a new turning point. Forces such as #D-0007 [Increasedpensation] and exclusive authority A-0107 [Transcendence skill] must have had irreceable value. in other words-. Exclusive authority #G-1047[Selection Chapter] satisfies the conditions and activates automatically. Exclusive authority #G-1047[Selection Chapter] has three options based on challenger Han Seong-yoons unique keyword With exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice], when one of the three options is selected, the trial theme can be confirmed. Every time you enter a new ordeal, you can choose an ordeal theme. Not only that, but as a new turning point, it is highly likely to have a special impact on the challenger. Choose one of the three options. 1. . 2. Chaotic $ 3. A natural talent Certainly. Selectionplete. Autonomous selection of the ordeal theme. ording to the unique keyword , the ordeal theme has been confirmed as The Age of Beginning. Is not the Tower of Trials a manifestation of a unique keyword that implicitly captures an individuals life, inclination, and aptitude? I dont know why, but the Tower of Trials made it impossible to check most of my unique keywords. ording to what I found out before, the Tower of Trials would have seen an individuals life, disposition, and aptitude, and even flowered their unique characteristics. probably if the tower didnt let me find out what unique keywords I had, there would have been a reason for that. It could also be interpreted as meaning that the Tower of Trials saw some possibility of making my necromancy abilities bloom. No matter how hard I try to hide the information about my unique keyword over there, its only a matter of time before I finally find out the answer. Not even that. Then I have to find out. Although it is a story from his life, Dam Chun-wu, who climbed the Tower of Trials close to the top floor, also proved that the information about it was true. Because thats my way. Every time you repeat a new ordeal, you will arrive at the answer if you look at the ordeal theme ording to each unique keyword as a field of choice. . Exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice Chapter] begins the formation of the ordeal theme Era of Beginning. Elements necessary for the formation of Age of Age are imported. But Error urred. cannot be recalled. Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice] imports some of the elements necessary for the formation of the ordeal theme Era of Beginning from Challenger Han Seong-yoons inventory. ? As people often say, things dont go as easily as you think-. . Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of choice] has loaded Remegeton from Challenger Sungyoon Hans inventory. Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of choice] Since Remegeton was imported from Remegeton, an additional correction is added to the reward calction. Exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice] has fulfilled all the conditions necessary for the formation of the ordeal theme, The Beginning of Age. Something was strange from the beginning. No I was dumbfounded. What is this again? It was the first time. Paying a challenger one of the elements needed to form a new ordeal? Although he had experienced countless unpredictable situations while climbing the Tower of Trials, he had never seen anything like this. Remegeton? Not to mention, the Remegeton this side possesses is a tool that allows you to look at the records of the past received from the Demon God, so I didnt like that it was being consumed like that. Theres no way I could ept this- But thats for a while. Exclusive Authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice] forms the ordeal theme Early Age with Lemegeton as the center. -Huh? Suddenly, when I saw the phrase from the Tower of Trials that a new ordeal was created using Remegeton as the main axis, my heart changed. Tsutsutsu -. After all, forming an ordeal theme based on Lemegeton is practically the same as realizing Lemegeton as an ordeal. and-. Entering the 36th floor of the Tower of Trials. Difficulty C Hard The theme of the ordeal is the beginning of the era. one. The 36th floor ordeal begins. Remaining time C 1 year Trial breakthrough condition C surviving until the end of the war of the gods Trial failure condition C challenger death or the end of the remaining time Trial breakthrough reward C Trial Failure Penalty C Death The Era of the Beginning. The era when I thought there was no way to find out except Remegeton. The story of a distant time when the tower of trials did not exist in this universe has be a new ordeal. *** Saaa-. In an instant, a new ordeal stage waspletely revealed. Instead of the pitch-ck inorganic waiting space provided by the tower, the view of akeside where a cool wind blows quite hard is reflected. Originally, as a new ordeal began, finding out where this ce should have been the priority task. Nevertheless, I was lost in thought while looking at the system messages that remained in the corner of my field of vision with my eyes closed on the shore of an unknownke. . Lemegeton. It was a magic book like a holy relic of a demon god and an item inscribed with numerous records of the universe. In fact, when this side went to the demon realm, the demon who drank also handed over the Remegeton and said so. Yes, to call it by its formal name, this is Remegeton. It is a kind of authority to read the records of all demonic beings, and it is a book that allows you to directly see the memories you have. From the beginning of the tower to the origins beyond it, you can experience it all with your own body. Its like the trial of the tower. If there are traces of demons or demonic beings, it is a book that has the right to vividly read any of the mysteries of the universe. It could be said that Remegeton is the record of everything in this universe. Not only the origin of the tower, but also records of ancient deities such as the god of darkness or the god of dragons are kept. At least you will know everything about the devil. But with you now you probably wont be able to read all of them. As of yet, you will only be able to read the records permitted by your level. Even if it was the origin of the Tower of Trials, he would have said that if he had the right qualifications to use Lemegeton, he would have been able to figure it out. I never thought Id use the Remegeton I received from the Demon God at such an unexpected timing. At that, I narrowed my eyes and was lost in thought. I dont care much about whether using Remegeton to form a new ordeal would be a benefit or a loss. He didnt regret much about consuming Remegeton in the formation of a new ordeal. Actually, the ordeal of the tower is not at the level of being able to vividly observe a certain past record, but it is no different from repeating a certain past record one more time. In fact, if the Tower of Trials formed a new ordeal centered on Remegeton, this is an opportunity to repeat and experience some past records that I should have found out. And lets say that Remegeton has the strength of being able to vividly experience the records of the universe. Its nothingpared to the trials of the tower. Even though the tower of trials repeats a certain past record, it is possible to activate the supernormal ability of necromancy and the mythical < Possibility of Transcendence >. Rather than that, its more important why Remegeton was used in the formation of a new ordeal. But Why did I choose one of my unique keywords as a field of choice that led to the ordeal theme of the beginning of the age? I couldnt understand that the result of choosing one of the field of choice and the unique keyword was the ordeal theme, The Age of Beginning, even after thinking over and over again. Isnt it? Originally, the three options that can be selected as a field of choice should consist of unique keywords that imply an individuals life, disposition, and aptitude. If so, what does this mean? Is this something you often see when climbing the Tower of Trials? In response, I touched the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and spoke to him, but no positive answer came back. -her. Could it be? When I climb the Tower of Trials, I have never seen a case that is as bizarre as you. Is that so? -okay. However, if you look only at the results of this selection field, in the eyes of the tower, this would mean that this is the most appropriate trial for your unique keyword. Its probably-. -In a nutshell, from the perspective of the Tower of Trials, I am essentially quite rted to the gods, isnt it? At this point, it gets rather interesting. -0. . It was worth finding out if the unknown unique keyword hidden in the ck box this side had had something to do with the gods in the Tower of Trials eyes. Ill have to find out why the Tower of Trials judged my unique keyword that way in the process of clearing a new trial from now on. Thinking beyond this is unlikely to yield a more meaningful answer, so it must be time to focus on clearing the new ordeal. Surviving until the end of the War of the Gods was the condition for clearing the ordeal. Roughly, the stage background of the new ordeal went to spection. in other words-. It was worth it. It means that a war is going on between the gods in a ce not too far from here. It was because I could clearly see the showdown unfolding across the sky, covering the with divinity. Has the divine realm been set up so that the world itself cannot be escaped with divine supernormal abilities or some kind of power? I wonder if the gods are fighting to the death with the establishment of a-based sacred realm. Its amazing. The barrier made up of that divinity had sophistication that even the ancient gods of darkness or demons could not escape easily. Originally, it would be right to think that there is at least one ancient deity somewhere that can use that level of divinity, but I guess thats impossible. Of course, the dark gods or demons will be able to escape before being trapped in the divine barrier, so it wont be a very meaningful assumption. No matter how transcendent the Tower of Trials is, its almost impossible to recreate beings that have reached a higher hierarchy than the official godhead. Not to mention, since the Tower of Trials could not recreate beings such as official deities or high-ranking deities, there was a high possibility that everyone here would have ws in their divinity level. It would be best to kill a bunch of quasi-gods while quietly watching what happens on the battlefield of these gods. and-. Then, first of all, lets explore lightly The moment he took off his foot while hiding his divine and magical energy so that no one could feel it anymore. Jerk-jerk-. [ -Thats strange. ] It was then. [Its an existence that cant even be determined whether its a living creature, let alone divinity or mana. ] When I suddenly saw the owner of a voice from behind, I could only keep my eyes wide open in amazement. [ What a suspicious person. ] It deserved it. [youll have to exin one by one, including why youre here, which faction you belong to, and which godhead controls the concept. ] Its nothing else-. The God of Proof looks at the unknown being and issues a warning full of vignce. Originally, while climbing the Tower of Trials , I was first entangled with the Godhead, and a high-ranking Godhead close to the ancient Godhead who helped me a lot. because he was looking at me while scattering Chapter 420 420. The field of choice (2) In an instant, my thoughts stopped and my head turned white. Thats because the man in the old gray robes reflected in that vision perfectly resembled the appearance of a high-ranking deity that I had seen in the past. what is this. God of Proof. He was the first high-ranking deity I saw during my mortal days, when I had to be desperate to climb even the early 10th floor of the Tower of Trials, and he was the one who gave me a lot of grace. Even though he should have known that he would be punished by thew of causality engraved in this universe, didnt he even let us know that the Tower of Trials was trying to trick us into subjugating him as an emotionless tool? A sleep you will never forget Its not fake. so i was sure Whether its divinity or magic, its too perfect to dismiss it as an imitation made by the Tower of Trials. In fact, that man with clear eyes like a mirror is not a fake. Divinity, mana, and even the basic structure of spirit as life, every single detail is infinitely close to the real thing, not a fake. At this point, it was close to impossible to dismiss him as a wed imitation that was only poorly shaped by the Tower of Trials. I have a question for you. In other words, there is a high possibility that the man in gray robes visible beyond the field of view is a god of proof who used high-ranking powers such as Advent or Incarnation in trials. why are you here? In response, I handed over the question to the god of proof, barely suppressing my chaotic emotions, but only a different answer came back than expected. The god of proof frowns at you and expresses doubt. [Huh. I dont have the habit of giving straight answers to questions Ive never seen before. Especially for someone who might be an enemy like you. ] The god of proof narrowed his eyes while showing a sharp response as if he had no intention of answering the question I asked. [But the reason you say as if youve seen me somewhere is that youre about to get interested. ] Are you saying youve never seen me before? [ -Is it a waste of time or preparing some condition to trigger a divinity or a myth? If you dont answer my questions anymore, Ill take you as a battle doctor. give me 10 seconds ] . It was cold. It seems that all of these remarks seem to the God of Proof to be a maniptive trick that takes time for the activation of a divine supernormal ability or a myth. We didnt even exchange a few words, but seeing the sharp reaction that came back like this, I knew for sure that I didnt appear using the abilities like Advent or Incarnation used by high-ranking or formal gods. I see That meant one thing. Now the answer ising. Its not different-. Its not fake, but its not real either. In fact, unlike the god of proof that I know, the god of proof in that gray robe is a fake that is absurdly close to the real thing and has nothing different from the real thing. no. In fact, it cannot be said that this god of proof ispletely different from the real one. Its not that big, but there are a few things different from the god of proof I know. Its just that that God of Proof has a level of divinity, or the total amount of divine power is lower than the God of Proof that we know. Perhaps that god of proof is likely to be his appearance in some past. In a nutshell, that God of Proof meant that the Tower of Trials and Remegetons abilities were called upon based on some old record of the past. I never thought the Tower of Trials would seed in recreating beings that are more than formal divinities Somehow, in addition to the Tower of Trials and the Field of Selection, the coincidence of mixing Remegetons abilities ovepped, and at the end of a twist that exceeded the existing limits. The result seemed toe out. As much as it is a sacred relic possessed by one of the ancient deities, the Demon God, it is said that it exhibited performance outside the standard. Well, actually, it would be an unexpected situation even for the Tower of Trials, so it wouldnt make much sense to think about it. I have one more question for you. [If you take more time than this or show suspicious behavior, you should have understood it as an expression of hostility. As of the present time, you will be regarded as a deity belonging to the hostile faction and will be excluded. ] -Because I dont understand why you talk like you can kill me anytime. [? ] Isnt it? Now is the moment to focus on clearing the new ordeal. Perhaps, seeing that they said they would kill me or exclude me from earlier, they seem to be full of confidence So-. Coo-goo-goo-goo-! It was the right time to share stories and resolve misunderstandings like modern people with deep intelligence who have mastered persuasion, negotiation, and mediation. The god of transcendence and death smiles as he gazes at a higher deity. [Can you handle that? ] That too, very definitely. *** I felt a little remorse. Originally, while climbing the Tower of Trials, this side must have received various benefits from the God of Proof. Even if you know that the man in the gray coat is a fake that is infinitely closer to the real thing, forcibly convincing the other person is not very pleasant. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-. However The god of proof is astonished at the level of divinity you showed. ] It is a persuasion method that has never failed to persuade the other person while climbing the tower of trials, so only one effect was properly revealed. [I hope this is!! ] Despite the level of revealing only a small part of my divinity, the god of proof seemed to have clearly realized what this meant. [Is it an ancient deity!! ] In the blink of an eye, I saw the god of proof spouting out in astonishment with his eyes wide open, so I nodded my head and replied. The god of transcendence and death expresses satisfaction with the judgment of the other person. [ That is the correct answer. ] At that, I said with a light smile while withdrawing the brilliant divine power. At this point, let me ask you the question I asked earlier. In a tone full of confidence. Can you afford me? [ . ] So whats the answer? [ . ] But The god of proof notices the power you have to some extent and smiles dejectedly. [I admit that it was a stupid remark. ] Suddenly, the god of proof remained silent for a while, and then he answered, and spoke with a feeling close to resignation. [ so lets do this. ] ? [ let me kill you. ] . It seems that the other side has already made an absurd conclusion that he will be killed I have no intention of that. At that, I shook my head andughed as if I was dumbfounded. Because I dont really have any intention of killing you. [Whats that-] I just wanted to ask you where this ce is and what you do. [ her? ] Did you understand? [ . ] And. [ I cant imagine that an ancient deity with great power like you came without even knowing where this ce was. ] The god of proof, realizing that it was true, continued with an expression stained with absurdity. [ I dont know how a being like you came here through the divine barrier, but at least I know for sure that I didnte with a purpose. ] To that, I nodded lightly as if the stuffiness was relieved and said. Well, I didnte here because I wanted toe here, so I need someone to exin. When entering a new ordeal in the original ordeal tower, the priority should be to grasp the situation of the stage of the ordeal. If you tell me where the hell this ce is and whats going on, I wont hold you ountable for any of the rudeness you did to me earlier. From this god of proof that I happened to encounter, I should be able to find out in detail what happened on this 36th floor ordeal stage. [ hmm. Its not that difficult. Let me exin. ] The god of proof continued with a more rxed expression. [A war of the gods has been going on on this since about ten years ago. ] War of the Gods? [Its not like a formal godhead or a power struggle between high-ranking gods, but it should be said that its a great war of the universe in which most of the ancient gods are participating. ] . [The war of the gods is going on in two camps on this, divided into the order camp and the chaos camp, and no one can escape here until the war is over. ] You mean you cant go out of that sacred barrier until one side wins? [I have no choice but to do that. Yes, that sacred barrier is a huge barrier created by three ancient deities. Moreover, since even the dark gods and demons cannot escape from this, there is no way out. ] . It was interesting. The Dark God and the Demon God are here too? It was worth it. Originally, except for the Tower of Trials, the beings with the strongest power in this universe are the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods. In short, it meant that on this 36th floor trial stage, you could even see the ancient gods who had existed since long ago participating in the battle and fighting. Then there might be a dragon god somewhere. Thats why I was curious. Isnt the Tower of Trials not particrly interfering with the war of these gods? In fact, what the Tower of Trials, which is the closest to the transcendent in this universe, was doing at the time of the war of the gods. I dont think the system of causality created by the Tower of Trials will condone this. At least the Tower of Trials could not have stood still in the war of the gods, in which most of these ancient deities were said to be entangled. [Tower of trials? ] But [Um] For some reason. [All of them are stories Ive heard for the first time, so I dont know where to start] For some reason, I tilted my head as if I couldnt understand the God of Proof, and only let out a sob. [First of all, Ill ask the most important parts. ] Its nothing else-. [What is the Tower of Ordeals or the Law of Cause and Effect? ] As if there is no such thing as the Tower of Trials in this universe. Chapter 421 421. Chapter of choice (3) It was an unexpected answer. You dont know anything about the Tower of Trials and thew of cause and effect? It was worth it. There is no way that strong people who are at the level of a high-ranking deity, such as the god of proof, are ignorant of the Tower of Trials and thew of causality. Because the Tower of Trials is a transcendental structure that forcibly restricts all deities in the universe to act ording to thew of creation called causality. So it was difficult to understand. I didnt deliberately lie or evasive. From the beginning until now, that god of proof has never lied, either directly or indirectly. The skill Fire Dragons Eye sees through that the other persons words are not false. Not to mention, even though I used the skill I had to check whether the other persons words and actions were true, nothing changed. Actually, that god of proof doesnt know at all what the Tower of Trials is and what thew of causation is. What that meant was fixed. in other words-. Its not different-. -It could be considered the time period when the Tower of Trials didnt even appear. In the first ce, the background of the era of this stage itself is before the transcendental structure called the Tower of Trials appeared. Actually, the war of the gods itself didnt even need justification There was no Tower of Trials and no system of causality, thew of creation, so there was nothing strange about what the gods did with each other. Unlike modern times, this is the heyday of the gods, where no divinity is subject to any restrictions because there is no tower of trials or causality, thew of creation. Whether the gods destroy an entire or gain faith by dominating countless mortals below, there will be no sanctions. It must be really close to awless zone. It was not difficult to guess what it would mean to the many worlds and mortals in this universe. Dan-. If you dont know the Tower of Trials and thew of causality, you dont have to answer any more. Anyway, even if you think about what kind of hell this side of the universe is spreading out, you wonte out with any answer, so there was no need to be deeply immersed in thought. At this point, it seems that I have gotten the answer I want to some extent. At that, I opened my eyes narrowly and let out a calm, sunken gaze. At least in the story of the Tower of Trials or thew of causality, there is nothing more curious. It was sincere. This side should have already been convinced that the Trial Stage on the 36th floor is the time when the Tower of Trials did not appear. As a result, I realized that it would be meaningless to ask the god of proof more about the Tower of Trials or thew of causality. [ hmm. Im sorry. Its the first time Ive heard of it, so I dont know anything about it. I dont think I gave you an answer worthy of yourst name. ] The God of Proof said as if he was sorry that he couldnt give a proper answer to the story he said. [but I know quite a bit about the war of the gods, so if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. ] At this point, he seems to have realized that the God of Proof would not be able to give meaningful answers to stories like the Tower of Trials or thew of cause and effect. hmm. In fact, even if it wasnt, I wondered what kind of people would reign as ancient gods in the time period that seemed before the Tower of Trials was created. Then can you tell us how the war of the gods took ce and which of the ancient deities participated in it? and. [Is it when the war of the gods started? ] Before I knew it, I spoke of the story of the enemy when the war of the gods had begun, frowning as if feeling the shallow anger and displeasure of the proof. [ the beginning is-. ] Slowly but powerfully. [-It was an unexpected trap. ] The god of proof spoke with his dark eyes shining as if reflecting memories of the past in his clear eyes like a mirror. [ Ten years ago, when numerous gods in this universe gathered on one to coordinate the jurisdiction of each god, a confrontation system consisting of that divine realm unfolded and was trapped. ] The god of proof continued as if he disapproved of every single thing that happened in the past. [Not to mention, even those ancient deities who were praised as the rulers of this universe were no different. ] and-. [Not only the gods of darkness, demons, and dragons called Cheonoecheon, but also other people such as the god of time, the god of permanence, and the god of arrogance are also trapped here. ] It was then. [It was not different from the three ancient deities, who are called representatives of the orderly faction that caused the war of the gods to the sacred realm and to the confrontation. ] The moment the god of proof looks at him and then licks his lips. [The god of creation, the god ofw, and the god of miracles. ] I had a hunch. [Those who preside over and handle high-level concepts of divine < creation >, divine , and divine < miracle >, respectively. ] Its nothing else-. [The war of the gods is a fight that will not end until the three ancient gods achieve their goal or are defeated. ] War of the Gods. The story of the Tower of Trials and the time period when the causalw did not exist anywhere in the universe . *** Is it a coincidence or is it inevitable? . I have never forgotten the list of conceptual divinities that the Tower of Trials once saw as the Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+). -. -1000. Divinity < Creation > :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials] ?1001. Divine < Law > :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials] ?1002. Divine < Miracle > :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials] Of course. Divine < creation > and divine and divine < miracle > Is that why? Its no longer at a level that can be dismissed as an illusion or coincidence. Somehow, it felt more like an inevitability than a coincidence that the deities of the Tower of Trials had the same names as the deities of the three ancient deities. There is a high possibility that the existence of the three ancient deities, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, are rted to the Tower of Trials. Surely. Then And-. This-. The moment I tried to quickly continue my thoughts. I express that the god of proof has told you everything he has to say. [ This is the story I can tell you. ] Suddenly hearing the divine voice uttered by the god of proof, I raised my head. [ Actually, exining this story to you is also very strange. ] Before I knew it, the god of proof was smiling with his eyes narrowed as if he was interested. [It can be said that all the gods in this universe participated in the war of the gods, and it was no different from the ancient gods who were the rulers of this universe. ] As it is, the god of proof continued with a lot of interest. [Moreover, on this where the war of the gods takes ce, there is a sacred barrier that no one of the ancient deities can escape from, and external intrusion is close to impossible. ] Unlike earlier when I didnt know anything about the war of the gods, its easy to understand because now Ive been exined to some extent by the god of proof. [So ask. ] Nothing else. [Where are you from? ] At some point, this god of proof realized to some extent that this was an ancient deity that did not originally exist in this universe. Its embarrassing. At that, I slowly raised the divinity in my body while holding a bitter smile on my lips. I never thought it would have been so suspicious to reveal that I knew nothing about the War of the Gods. Even if that god of proof does not have hostile intentions towards me, if I have more doubts about this side than this, variables may arise. Should I handle it? To put it bluntly, there is no need to keep the god of proof alive, but rather to cut off his breath right away to prevent unexpected situations from urring. Theres no need to hesitate in the first ce. Its up to you to decide which one is the smart choice. At most, that god of proof is a fake that is infinitely closer to the real thing. In an instant, based on the divinity < Death > and the divinity < Lord of Words >, the power to unknowingly kill an opponent is secretly concentrated. Swoop. But [You dont seem to have any intention of answering where you came from or why you came here, so Ill change the question. ] Actually, this side didnt activate the Divine < Death > and the Divine < Lord of Words >. [You seem to havee here without even knowing what this war of the gods is like, so it can be said that you do not belong to any camp, right? ] . [ One suggestion. ] ? A strange thing happened. [Actually, I dont really like it, but it turns out that Im also one of the deities who belonged to the orderly camp. ] Before I knew it, the god of proof handed me an interesting proposal with a smile on his face. [From the standpoint of wanting the war of the gods to end as quickly as possible, it would be great if an ancient deity like you joined the orderly camp. ] Really The God of Proof looks at you with expectant eyes. [Would you like to join the orderly camp? ] It was an unexpected proposal. *** Orderly faction. As the God of Proof said earlier, he should have said that it was a group represented by three ancient deities: the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles. Hearing the proposal from the God of Proof before I knew it, I changed my mind instead of activating the supernormal abilities of the Divine < Death > and the Divine < Spirit >. Could that be scouting me? [Thats right. Depending on which camp an ancient deity like you joins, the battle will change in an instant. Whatever the case, I dont want to leave you alone. ] Does that mean its no different even if its a being that I cant even guess where I came from? [ well. It doesnt seem that important, at least to me. If we can end the war of the gods, it doesnt matter where someone like you came from. So what about it? ] . and then. If you answer one question, I will listen to it and then decide. [ ? ] What benefits do I get by joining the side of order in the War of the Gods? [ The god of creation and the ancient deities gathered around her said they would make one thing they wanted ording to their respective contributions. ] The trouble was not long. [ whatever it is. ] I know what it means to create something that those who possess divine < creation >, divine and divine < miracle > wish for. - I will ept. Thats very certain. Chapter 422 422. Choice chapter (4) In an instant, I parted my lips and answered. - I will ept. Actually, there was no need to worry. Thats because the choice was decided in the first ce. The War of the Gods must be a situation where a kind of faction fight continues with the order camp and the chaos camp facing each other. If so, belonging to any camp was essential. The God of Creation and the God of Laws, followed by the God of Miracles And-. -The god of creation and the ancient deities gathered around her said they would make one thing they wanted ording to their respective contributions. Thats not all. Whatever it is. In case of victory, there was also a reward ording to each contribution. At first nce, the story of making something an individual wants is a little vague, so it should be. Nheless, anyone who realized what the three ancient deities meant would have no choice but to ept the recruiting offer from the Orderly faction. Theres no way I could refuse the recruiting offer if I knew the divine abilities of the three ancient deities. It was natural. Its not a metaphorical offer to make you just one thing you want. Its nothing else In fact, it means to create whatever you want based on the divine < Creation >, the divine , and the divine < miracle >. Assuming its true, isnt it a jackpot? But The God of Proof is perplexed by your outspoken answer. [ Are you going to ept? ] Could it be that I didnt know that I would make such a quick decision without hesitation? [ Seriously? If, by any chance, you responded to my proposal with a light heart-] The God of Proof seemed to think it was absurd, so he spoke as if he thought about it more. no. I gave you an answer after thinking about it myself. Nothing to worry about. step-. It is real. [ . ] The other side also stopped persuading me when I expressed my intention that there would be no retraction of what I said. The God of Proof stares nkly at you as if he cant understand you. [ Hmm. If the person concerned says so, then I wont care anymore. Well, no matter what, the power of a being like you is always desperately needed. ] Just like that, the god of proof turned his head around and continued. [ depart. In fact, there is no way the orderly faction would refuse to recruit an ancient deity like you. Still, you need to get permission from your superiors. ] Permission? [ hmm. Isnt it obvious? god of creation. Or the god ofws or the god of miracles. It means you must introduce yourself to one of the three ancient deities. ] . and then. [Moreover, luckily, one of the three ancient deities is at the headquarters, so it shouldnt take that long. ] Jerk-. [Follow me. ] The god of proof took a light step and continued. [From now on, I will guide you to the God of Creation. ] Interestingly. *** God of Creation. In the time period when the Tower of Trials did not appear, it would have been said that it was a being with the divine < Creation > and one of the three ancient deities of the order camp that caused the war of the gods. Not to mention, among the powers this side had, there was also the divine < Creation > obtained through the Ancient Book of Divine Reproduction (EX), so I couldnt help but feel great interest. Not even that. In this time of the distant past, when the Tower of Trials did not even appear, there were many ancient deities like them that had never been seen in the present age. In short, despite bing an ancient deity and having immortality, it either disappeared or was sealed. Ive never heard of a god of creation, a god ofw, or a god of miracles among the ancient deities, at least in the categories I know. Is that why? Considering that the Tower of Trials will have the Divine < Creation >, the Divine < Law >, and the Divine < Miracle >, all three ancient deities must be destroyed or sealed. It was heterogeneous. This is unusual. To him, I continued my thoughts as I walked into the forest following the god of proof. I probably need to find out about this at least once in the War of the Gods. and-. The god of proof stops walking after noticing that the destination has been reached. [-You have arrived. ] Kagagak!! It was then. Suddenly, the god of proof entered a certain point in the forest, and at the same time, the weak divine light was scattered and some spaces changed. In the blink of an eye, a huge gray stone gate appeared in the middle of the forest, revealing its presence. Gggg!! step-. You hid the entrance to the main base in the forest with the activation effect of the divine supernormal ability and myth. It was a familiar technique, so I wasnt particrly surprised. Was it thanks to seeing various techniques based on divinity crossing countless diagonal lines? Before I knew it, I was able to understand what kind of device that giant gray stone gate made of divinity was. After concealing the location of the stone gate with divinity, the divine power is identified and the form is not revealed to anyone other than registration. Simply put. It seems that the location of the stone gate also randomly changes at regr intervals, causing confusion so that it cannot be traced from the outside I continued to calmly say, looking at the huge gray stone gate. Itsmon, but its okay. [ No, I dont think its a good thing at all for security at the point you figured out right here. What strategy did you use to get that far right away? In case you used that type of divinity- ] No. Its just that I feel good. Thats it. [ . ] It was possible to figure it out with pure senses without even needing to use divine or mythical powers. Because you can find out how most divine abilities are made with just one nce. To put it bluntly, it was a sense that was close to an extension of my talent. With just one look at this natural talent, you should be able to fully understand any technique and be able to imitate it. Even more so, from the moment he was reborn as one of the ancient deities and became stronger, his basic understanding of the divinity itself also went up. If you use your innate talent and the overwhelming senses you gained from bing an ancient deity, you can easily see through the method of applying divinity. Because I am also one of the ancient deities in my own way. But dont you think so? [ her. well. I dont think all of them, even ancient deities, can figure it out so quickly. At least, its notmon for people like you to find out everything through intuition. ] Hearing that, the God of Proof frowned and continued to speak in amazement. [ but even so, it seems that some security improvements are needed. You never know when and where the hostile factions divinity will invade. The work to be done will increase. ] As if the number of troubles increased. [But thats forter. ] One, and that for a while. [Let me follow you for now. ] The god of proof let out a murmur mixed with a sigh, opened the huge gray stone gate, and strode forward. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-. In an instant, a new scenery unfolded beyond the gray stone gate. The appearance of colorful buildings lined up on and made of pure white clouds. However, despite walking around the headquarters of the orderly camp, I didnt feel anything like the eyes of the gods. It is quiet. At this point, it even feels strange. Does everyone in the original order camp get along so quietly? [ no. If it was originally the same, it wouldnt have been so deste but there were circumstances. Due to an emergency, the number of recruits has increased, so most of them are active on the frontlines. ] Emergency? [ They say that one of the ancient deities, who originally did not belong to the chaos camp and had been consistent with an attitude close to neutral, revealed hostile intentions. ] I was convinced. Its not just a high-ranking deity or a formal deity, but if one of the ancient deities revealed hostile intentions, it would be close to a natural disaster. Thats why its not so strange that all the gods in the order camp were called out to the outside front. [Well, from what Ive heard, the Ancient Gods have also entered a lull to some extent, so theyre all nning to return soon, so Im guessing things will normalize within a few days. ] But thats not the worst. [In fact, I heard that the God of Creation also returned here after sessfully recovering to some extent. ] Fortunately, it seems that he seeded in dealing with the misfortune. [Perhaps unlike the god of creation, the god of miracles or the god ofw will take time to return, but they say it doesnt matter if you dont meet them. ] As it is, the god of proof tsk- lightly clicked his tongue and continued. [Because in reality, the god of creation is the one who leads the orderly camp. ] wear-. [I give you one piece of advice. ] ? [Three ancient deities. Beware the god of creation and the god ofw and the god of miracles. I dont know what kind of insidious things they will do. ] . A temple built on thend of white clouds. [Actually, I belong to the order camp because I think its better in many ways than the chaos camp, but I dont really like them. ] Standing in front of the white temple with solemnity in its splendor, the god of proof gave out a gloomy voice. [They are dreamers who even waged a war of gods for an unrealizable purpose that is like a sandcastle in front of the waves. ] As if making some ominous guess. [Maybe they are] Only-. [ . ] Thats only for a moment. [ no. In the end, this or that is just a pointless story. It was a mistake. It doesnt matter if you forget what I just said. I mean it was bullshit. ] The God of Proof shook his head and moved into the temple with a clear mirror-like light in his eyes again. [Do not go in. ] And. gugg-. The moment I walked deep into the temple, which felt both splendid and majestic, following the god of proof. You have entered the sacred area < Model Garden >. By the exclusive effect Base of Creation in the sacred area < Model Garden >, the lost divinity and soul flow into the caster. It was then . -uh? In an instant, it turned into a space made of divinity. As soon as I walked into the deepest part of the temple, I was moved to a new space starting from a certain point. However, the reason why this side expressed an emotion close to astonishment upon seeing the divine realm < Model Garden > was not because they hade to a new ce unintentionally. What is this Of course. It was because I was free to ept or decline admission to the divine realm < Model Garden >. In the first ce, entering this divine realm < model garden > itself was epted by this side, so there was no reason to be so shocked. . But-. Is that a lie? In fact, the familiar pir-shaped gray structure standing in the center of the < model garden > in the sacred realm must be astonishing. I cant believe that-. Its not different-. Is it the Tower of Trials? That familiar gray pir in the divine realm < Model Garden > reflected in this sides field of view was very simr to the appearance of the Tower of Trials that I saw in the Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+) the other day. [ -Youre an uninvited guest. ] The incident is not over. [ I know that I asked everyone not toe into my sacred realm for the time being, except for important matters. furthermore-. ] Before I knew it, a mysterious woman walked out with a gruff voice next to a gray pir resembling a tower of trials in the sacred realm < Model Garden >. [ God of Proof. You wouldnt even want to see me in the first ce? Youll have to exin to me intelligibly why you entered this divine realm. ] Why? [ by the way-. ] Somehow, it seemed that I had seen that woman of a mysterious age with that brown robe and somehow long blonde hair somewhere. remembered Originally, when this side acquired the divine < Harmony > from the Holy Relic given by the Lightsaber Emperor, he must have seen the Tower of Trials at least indirectly based on the remaining thoughts of the Divine. You must have seen the Tower of Trials and a mysterious woman who stood in front of it and insisted that the existence of God in this universe should disappear. so i was sure [ It would be nice if you could exin it instead of standing there nkly like that. ] That the numerous questions umted while climbing the Tower of Trials will be resolved here. The god of creation looks at you with interest . Chapter 423 423. Choice field (5) Actually, I had thought about it to some extent. The result created by consuming the field of choice and even Remegeton cannot be ordinary. It was assumed that in the War of the Gods, it would be possible to obtain high-level information in any way. However, this was beyond the scope of the assumption. This is the god of creation? In response, I continued to make quick judgments, barely managing to keep my embarrassment from leaking out. C Residual thoughts of the sacred < Harmony > within the ind skill technique (S+) start synchronizing with challenger Han Seong-yoon. Its been a while, but I havent forgotten. There must have been a time when, during the clearing of the ordeal, he identally encountered the administrator of the light sword system and obtained the divine < Harmony > from the holy relic called the ind skill technique. Well, since the challenger-turned-administrators tied to the Tower of Trials are all quasi-gods, even the supernatural ability of the divine has now been reduced to a nuisance and is almost forgotten I still remember it clearly . long golden hair. brown robe. Besides, even his physique and voice havent changed much from thest time I saw him. Its not just an illusion or a coincidence. At that time, Im sure there was a woman standing next to the Tower of Ordeal that I saw as a residual thought while I was getting the divine < Harmony > from the ind skills technique. god of creation. In fact, one of the three ancient gods who forcibly led and unleashed the War of the Gods, an unprecedented and unprecedented ughter battle that could be said to be thergest in the universe. Originally, this side is an existence that I should have never met face to face, but I have encountered it in the process of obtaining divine abilities. Because I partially knew what it meant, I seemed to be buried in the flow of thoughts. The god of creation looks at you and talks to you like hes annoyed. ] But there was no time to sink into the swamp of thoughts. [ Whoa. Didnt you hear what I just said over there? Wont you hurry up and exin? Otherwise-. ] Did the other person also feel strange in the silence? Suddenly, the god of creation narrowed his eyes and spat out words in a cool voice as if warning. As befits a strong man called the three ancient deities, he sensed something vaguely suspicious about this side. Wasting time in useless thoughts would not lead to any beneficial results, so he quickly replied with a calm face. Otherwise, what are you going to do? [ what? ] From the start, the rudeness is too much. [ you-. ] Do whatever you want. no. Rather, he behaved like he was angry. Because it seemed more natural. Even if its an uninvited guest, I have no intention of responding to someone who threatens me for the first time. The timing wasnt too bad either. In fact, I had things to say from the moment that the other side showed me a coercive attitude and one-sided demands. Perhaps its because they dont know that this is one of the ancient gods because they hide many powers including divinity and magical power I didnt like it. I dont really want to answer a coercive question like that. It was natural. I dont care what happens to me. Its not particrly pleasant to have someone look down on you as if you were looking down from above, under any circumstances and for any reason. Just know that you must pay the price for your actions. Not to mention, Bain, who had been reborn as one of the ancient deities now even called the rulers of this universe, had no reason to put up with shame. If you cross the line more than this in any way, there will be no turning back. At that, I took out some of the divinity umted in my body and smiled. The god of transcendence and death shows off a cold smile while perfectly revealing his divinity. ] Gugggggggggggggggg!! In an instant, the flow of divinity rushed in all directions like a tidal wave. Unlike divine supernatural powers or effects using myths, it was purely an expression of raw power without any processing in the divine. It would have been a method that could not be said to be at all suitable even for empty words to be used for the exercise of force in the opponents home ground, the sacred realm. Jeez-jeez-jeez-! if it werent for the power of an ancient deity that achieved immortality by transforming itself into divinity itself. ! A phenomenon that can only be shown because it is an absolute strongman who has carved his own divinity and concept into this universe. The presence of overwhelming divine power and divine status distorts the entire space. It looked like it was about to crush the whole divine realm itself. As I turned my gaze to him with the light of divinity wrapped around my whole body, the opponent also reacted. Muttered in a voice full of astonishment, as if the god of creation couldnt believe it. [What the hell is this!! ] The god of creation pursed his lips when he saw the distorted space of the sacred realm and his incontinence. [You can distort my sacred realm to this point with just the power of divinity? ] I cant believe that this side twisted the divine realm without using any power other than divinity and divinity. [ Power beyondmon sense] That, too, was only brief. Isnt it often said that even if it rots, its Junchi? As befits a being called one of the rulers of this universe, the God of Creation showed great judgment. [A performance that can never be shown at the level of a high-ranking deity or official deity] As soon as he realized that this was one of the ancient deities, he raised his holy power all over his body and prepared for battle. [-Is it an ancient deity!! ] Even more so, despite being in the home ground of the divine realm, she showed tension and a sense of crisis without hesitation, as if she judged that this side was far stronger. The god of transcendence and death replies with a smile. [Thats correct. ] Originally, a smooth conversation can be established only when one side has the initiative in the story. [So] And [What are you going to do? ] [ . ] the next moment. [ Shall we fight? Or- ] As it was, I continued talking with a shallow smile on my lips. [-Shall wepromise a bit? ] [ apromise? ] [ Its a simple story. ] That means one thing. [Just as you want to ask this side, this side also has something you want to ask that side. ] Its nothing else-. [If you clear up some questions as an apology andpensation, Ill let this matter go. ] It was time to resolve long-held questions. *** Time passed quickly. The sacred realm < Model Garden > created by the God of Creation, one of the three ancient gods, has already beenpletely restored. Most of what this side had to say was already decided anyway, so I quickly finished the basic exnation without hesitation. The god of creation sighs in bewilderment. [Whoa] But [So] Why? [ ording to what you said, the reason you came here seems to be to formally state your intention to belong to the orderly camp, right? ] The god of creation frowned and spoke bluntly as if disapprovingly. [ no. How the hell is your temper? If you had exined to me in the first ce that you had received an offer from the god of proof and came here, this wouldnt have happened- ] Well. If you hadnt been so rude to me in the first ce, I dont think there would have been a use of force like this. Perhaps this side wanted to exin to the God of Creation that they hade with the intention of bing allies in advance Isnt it? [ . ] In fact, I couldnt pass on the responsibility because I was asking a question in a coercive manner before I spoke. [ its a story that has nothing to say. ] Indeed, the God of Creation did not deny that he made a mistake. [but please understand that even from my point of view, it was a matter that I had no choice but to be sensitive about a being like you appearing in the divine realm < model garden >. ] I just wanted her to know that the appearance of this side had to be taken sensitively. [Whatever it is, its relieved to hear that it was purely scouted by the God of Proof. ] She rxed her body as if she had lost her pulse and went on. [Well, couldnt the god of proof suddenly turn into a traitor like this? Contrary to that mans uncooperative attitude, he is secretly sincere. ] However, the God of Proof heard the words and showed a reaction close to denial rather than affirmation. The God of Proof frowns and replies in annoyance. [Ha. Dont be mistaken. I just chose the best way to get out of the cage of the war of the gods. I am not sympathetic to the ideas of dreamers like you. Abomination. ] It was a cold tone. Originally, the god of proof must have used a soft and serious tone in his own way. However, in spite of this, his two mirror-like eyes were filled with feelings close to disgust. [I wish I could live my whole life in such a pleasant daydream. ] He looked at the god of creation with cold eyes, then turned around and headed outside. [Because from the beginning, all you could do was dream a dream that could nevere true. ] Jerk-jeok-. [In the end, you guys will sink in the mud without proving anything, so enjoy it to your hearts content. ] [ Yes, I wondered why you came to see me. Do what you think. Whether its like that or not, it wont change what we do. ] The god of creation shrugged his shoulders, watched as the god of proof slowly escaped the sacred realm, then parted his lips again. [ Now that the god of proof is gone, shall we continue the rest of the story? ] And. The god of creation is looking at you. ] Do you have any ns to cover it up? [You cant throw away a golden opportunity to recruit an ancient deity. ] The god of creation slowly lifted the brown robe with both hands and revealed himself. Shuk-. To put it bluntly, it was an ordinary beautiful appearance. I wonder if it might have been a copy of the gold as it is C the two eyes that were bright enough to make me wonder. Like the iron-blooded lord, white crane swordsman, or the god of darkness or the god of dragons, the exceptional beauty came out, but its not a part to pay much attention to. [You said you wanted to ask a few questions as an apology andpensation. ] So I stared at the God of Creation and listened to what she had to say. [Three. No matter what question you ask, I will answer honestly anything I know. ] It was simple. Are you going to answer on the premise that you know what it is about In short, it meant that any question could be resolved as long as the God of Creation knew. Its fun. and. Then, shall we ask you one of the most important things first? next moment. The beings called the Three Ancient Godheads. He spoke in an extremely calm tone. The God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles. Among the many questions, the content I want to know the most has already been decided. What is your rtionship with the Tower of Trials? Thats very certain. Chapter 424 424. War of the Gods (1) It was not spection, but certainty. For the Tower of Trials, the divine < Creation >, the divine < Law >, and the divine < Miracle > are elements that are no different from the basis of power. At first, I thought that the possibility of coincidence or illusion could not be ruled out, so I did not hastily conclude that something was correct, but not anymore. The three ancient deities, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, must be rted to the Tower of Trials in some way. The tower of trials and the beings called the three ancient deities must be closely rted in some way. And then I calmly gazed at a building ced in the divine realm < Model Garden > with calm eyes. It would be even more so if you saw what the God of Creation, one of the three ancient deities, had created in the divine realm. A majestic gray pir towering high into the sky, resembling a clumsy imitation of the Tower of Trials. What is the rtionship between the Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient gods So-. You should not hide what you know about that part, and you should answer everything without leaving out. [ . ] There was not even room for disagreement. Of course, the question asked by this side is a story that the other side cannot answer lightly, so it maye out uncooperatively Anyway, if you can find out various secrets about the Tower of Trials from the God of Creation, it will be somewhat coercive. could have resorted to means. Its a chance to find out the most important information about the Tower of Trials. Kwaaaak-. If I can hear the other persons answer in some way, Ill have to use a method of forcibly tapping and pressing depending on the situation. There was nothing I couldnt do. Of course, as befits the three ancient deities, the God of Creation must have great power, but even taking that into ount, it is not impossible if he has umted strength while climbing the Tower of Trials. If you poured out all the supernatural powers and skills of the divine at once, you would be able to press down with overwhelming power for a while. Wouldnt the chances of winning be high enough? Currently, most abilities such as divinity, authority, or skills that this side has are out of cooldown. A surprise attack would be possible. Heart rate rises gradually. But there was no shaking. Its just that they are ready tounch a surprise attack at any time so that they can unleash their full strength and take down the god of creation. Depending on the answer, one of the reasons for the nervousness was that having to forcibly dig up the desired information immediately after the surprise attack In fact, the nervousness was based on expectations. either way, it wont change the fact that we can learn a lot from this story. From now on, I will know in some way how the Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient gods are intertwined. If I can find out where the Tower of Trials came from and where it is based, I can aplish more. But The god of creation frowns and mumbles as if he doesnt understand. [ Tower of Trials? ] Why? [ what the heck is that? ] The God of Creation replied in a tone full of embarrassment as if he didnt know at all. [ First of all, I think I can answer somehow if I know what the Tower of Trials means. ] Just like the God of Proof that I encountered when I first entered the trial stage on the 36th floor, I didnt know anything about the Tower of Trials. There was really nothing different. The skill Fire Dragons Eye detects that there is no lie in the opponents words. Strange. The Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient deities must be deeply rted to each other. Even more so, in the divine realm < Model Garden >, there are even gray pirs resembling the Tower of Trials, but it doesnt make sense to know nothing about them. However, he had no choice but to back down after confirming that it was not a lie that the God of Creation did not know about the Tower of Trials. lets not be impatient. At that, I narrowed my eyes and regained myposure. I have to be cool. To be honest, I wanted to make this side spit out the answer at least by pouring out all the power it had. There is absolutely no benefit to be gained by fighting the other side prematurely. Because thats the easiest solution. But that doesnt change anything. In fact, unless the god of creation knew nothing about the Tower of Trials, it would be impossible to get the answer they were looking for. Even if we attack the God of Creation by surprise and win, the chances of getting information about the Tower of Trials are slim. There was not even a hint of doubt. It is true that the current God of Creation does not know anything about the Tower of Trials, and has finished confirming by using skills. Considering that this sides skill was greatly enhanced by the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, it couldnt be fake. Then it was also clear what to do. In the end, I have no choice but to take the time to figure out what kind of rtionship the three ancient gods have with the Tower of Trials It was simple. Observing and finding out by what kind of cause and effect the three ancient deities and the Tower of Trials are connected until the ordeal is cleared. That was the surest way to get answers to the numerous questions umted while climbing the Tower of Trials. Of course, it was a pity. However, if you try to hastily dig up information about the Tower of Trials from the God of Creation here, everything may go to waste. If you ask the God of Creation for information about the Tower of Trials, you can only instill a sense of incongruity. I didnt want that to happen. Actually, at least I want to learn more about the gray pir in the divine realm Its the same reason why we cant ask the identity of the gray pir that looks like its modeled after the Tower of Trials in the divine realm < Model Garden >. was Then, if the other side finds out that there is some connection between the Tower of Trials and the Gray Pir, it could lead to an irreversible situation. At the point of mentioning the connection between the Tower of Trials and the three ancient deities, the God of Creation must also be very interested in this. If thats the case, if you ask about the Ashen Pir right after talking about the Tower of Trials, you will inevitably notice that the Tower of Trials has something to do with the Ashen Pir. In that case, it is better not to reveal what this side wants to know. Right now, the most important thing is not to make my actions look suspicious. There was a need to hide the inner meaning. If you dont know anything about the real Tower of Trials, theres no need to try to answer like that. To him, I pretended to be nothing and parted my lips to speak calmly. You dont know anything about the Tower of Trials, so theres no way youll get a definite answer if you ask any more questions, right? Instead, I continued talking to the Creator as if I should be sure to hear other stories. But from now on, unlike the question about the Tower of Trials, you will have to answer honestly without leaving out anything you know. Hearing that, the God of Creation stayed still and then answered while touching his lips as if he was having fun. [ okay? what good If you wish, lets skip the story of the Tower of Trials. Lets start with another story. ] Perhaps this is because I asked what kind of rtionship the three ancient deities and the Tower of Trials were, so I was interested Lets do it. And that is only for a moment. Ill start with a simple question this time. As soon as I said the next question with a smile on my face, the other persons expression almost hardened halfway. War of the Gods. I want to hear about its primal purpose. Without missing a single thing. [ what? ] In the three categories that you know, I decided to answer honestly any question you ask, so dont think about evasive words. [ . ] So whats the answer? [ Ill answer you. ] The god of creation frowned and replied as if he was not pleased. [the original purpose of the war of the gods itself is not even worth asking, taking the opportunity to ask questions only three times. ] She let out a deep sigh, then spoke again. [The war of the gods only started for me, the god ofw, and the god of miracles to be reborn as the rulers of the universe. ] Ruler of the universe? [ okay. Thats it. We, the three ancient deities, only wanted to be reborn as rulers of this universe. Its a story no less than that. ] Its not a story that is particrly understandable or convincing. I said it as if I was dumbfounded. In fact, if it is an ancient deity called the head of the universe, can it not be called the ruler of the universe? It was worth it. Originally, at the point where the concept of divinity was engraved into the universe and even obtained immortality, these ancient deities are beings that can be said to be the rulers of the universe. Couldnt he have done something grandiose like the war of the gods just to be reborn as the ruler of the universe as the other side said? The fact that he transformed himself into divinity itself and gained conceptual immortality means that he has been reborn as one of the chiefs of the universe. [ well. Its just an appearance reflected on those who are high-ranking deities or formal deities. There is no such thing as speed. ] ? [Among the ancient deities called the rulers of this universe, dont you know that the rest, excluding the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, are more of a superficial ruler with no real authority? ] . One, and that for a while. [Supreme of the universe? Its just a position of authority for those like higher deities or full deities. In fact, not all ancient deities are in the same position. ] . [Honestly, isnt it? Didnt like that. Thats how the war of the gods started. Its just a story, nothing more, nothing less. ] I see. Listening to what the God of Creation said while sighing, I was able to guess that this was not the case. Is it real power In reality, as long as there are overwhelmingly strong people like the God of Darkness, the Demon God, or the Dragon God, it was understood that those like the three ancient gods could not be said to be the rulers of the universe. I might feel that way. Yes, in this universe, even though the ancient deity itself is a lofty level that is revered as the head of the universe, there is no superiority or inferiority among them. No matter what, its not wrong. But But somehow its kind of annoying. However, even so, it was an answer that could not erase the feeling that what the God of Creation said was somehow only for superficial reasons. Am I the ruler of the universe? Would you say that the feeling of going somewhere is strong? But that was all. As before, I tried to determine whether the opponents words were real or fake by using the skill Hwaryong, but nothing changed. Without a single lie, the God of Creation was in a position where he could no longer question anything because he only spoke the truth. The god of creation looks at you and smiles. ] Hearing those words, I nodded my head, feeling somehow intrusive. Well, its something I can rte to to a certain extent, so its ambiguous to say that its all a lie. However, since I know that the other side has never told a lie, I have no choice but to move on after solving only moderately curious things. Now, out of the three opportunities to get an answer from you, are there only two left? As it was, I handed over the rest of the questions in a voice full of regret. Shall we finish it soon? and. Didnt you say that when you contributed to victory in the War of the Gods, you would make something ording to your contribution? [ okay. Those who have umted a lot of contributions to victory in the war of the gods can get something just as valuable. whatever it is Ill bet that for sure. ] next moment. If you tell me how the rewards are given based on your contribution when you win the War of the Gods and the range of options for that victory reward, Ill end the question here. [ hmm. Aside from how rewards are given when you win, what does it mean specifically to ask for a range of options for victory rewards? ] For example, even if you ask me to make a holy relic that you have never seen before, if the level of contribution to victory is high, you can make it? [ it will be possible. maybe. Even if its a relic or artifact that I dont know about, like you said, its not difficult to make one if you want it.] Ha. I was thrilled. You mean that? Its not different-. That is really good news. It was like a miracle that he could get another Sacred Replica Book (EX) that would allow him to acquire any divinity. Chapter 425 425. War of the Gods (2) Tome of Divine Replication (EX). It was the highest grade item that had never been seen even once, despite the numerous rewards obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials. This side had already experienced what they could get with the Tome of Divine Reproduction (EX), so I was sure. It was truly a genius opportunity. In the War of the Gods, the higher the contribution the order side has umted by winning, the wider the options for victorypensation that can be demanded from the God of Creation. Not to mention, the god of creation said that she could create any number of holy relics or items that even she herself did not know about. Ill be thrilled. That means one thing. To think Im getting the chance to get my hands on a first-ss item that I thought Id never see again Its nothing else. Isnt that great? In a nutshell, wouldnt it be possible to obtain the Divine Replica Book (EX) once again, depending on what this side does? Actually, even if I climbed the Tower of Trials all the way, I thought I wouldnt be able to get top-notch items like the Tome of Divine Replication anymore. Excited. Even if it is a divinity of a high concept of the Tower of Trials or an ancient deity, you can acquire it without any conditions if you use the Divine Replica Book (EX). If it is a supernormal ability of a divinity that exists in this universe, even if it isposed of some high-level concept, it is possible to acquire it without difficulty as long as you know about the supernormal ability of that divinity. In fact, it is nothing short of a miracle. At this point, the course of action will be quite different. At that, I barely managed to calm my excitement, and my eyes sparkled with anticipation. Originally, the condition for clearing the ordeal given by the Tower of Trials was to endure until the end of the War of the Gods. No matter how the war of the gods progressed, until this ordeal on the 36th floor was over, I was nning to keep a position close to the observer If you participate in the victory of the order side in the War of the Gods, you can get anything you want for one thing. obviously. If thats true, lets take responsibility and try so that the order side can win in this war of the gods. and. But its ambiguous to trust only verbal contracts. [ what do you understand? You want to get me a pact that has coercive effects. Just to make sure that no unfortunate incidents happen. ] Yes. Even if you participate in winning the war of the gods, you could betray me. Its because I dont really want that. [Its sad. Even if you dont, things like betrayal wont happen. From now on, you and I will act as colleagues on the same boat, right? Its okay if we trust each other a little more] You and the like? next moment. Are you kidding me right now? [What the hell is that] Dont get me wrong. [ . ] Just like that, I said it with a sneer on my lips. Participating in the victory of the orderly side in the War of the Gods is not for the sake of wanting to be friends with them. That god of creation in front of me is not particrly trustworthy to me. Its just that its more beneficial to me that way. I never thought of you as trustworthy. It was worth it. In fact, if we look at the root cause of the war between the gods, arent they the beings called the three ancient gods? The other side exined that the war of the gods was a struggle for supremacy in order to be the ruler of this universe . I was guessing. You said you would be reborn as the ruler of the universe through the war of the gods, but that was only a superficial reason. The existence called the three ancient deities also included the god of creation, so there was no way she could be trusted. Even if the goal is to be reborn as the ruler of the universe after winning the war of the gods, it is questionable howmon sense can achieve this. and. Arent there only stories that are full of doubts and hidden everywhere to trust each other? Not even that. -God is only blinded by greed for faith. They dont care about nobody in the world. If I can gain faith, I will do anything. While learning the divine < Harmony >, I remembered every word and action of her, which I saw as residual thoughts. I dont know why, but the tone was full of distrust of the gods and the attitude was cynical. It was too suspicious to be trusted. Even more so, once trust is broken, you have to pay the price ordingly. [ . ] At that, I looked at the god of creation and said expressionlessly. I have no intention of paying lightly for the one-sided betrayal of my trust. and. So The next moment. Stop messing around like that anymore and make a formal promise, not a verbal contract. Before I knew it, I finished the first andst warning in an even colder tone after seeing the God of Creation silent. The god of transcendence and death reveals a clear intent to kill. ] Its infinitely bloody. *** At this point, did the other side notice it? The god of creation stopped throwing crap about trust andpanionship at me. Somehow, it seems that they have realized that mutual trust cannot be established in practice. The god of creation is staring at you with frowning eyes. [ There is one thing I havee to realize about you now. ] Unlike before, she said with her eyes filled with coldness shining. [I dont know if my mind was polluted by the concept of divinity itself or if I was crazy in the first ce, but Im insane. ] ? [If youre an ancient deity, youll know that conceptual immortality makes no difference between winners and losers, but youre probably the only one acting so arrogantly. ] . I think I think I think my mental pollution has be serious because I have been acting as if I would fight if I made a mistake from earlier until now. well. From my point of view, the idea of robbing a talented person like an ancient deity by establishing an oral contract with words of trust or colleague-like words like that one seems more insane. It was absurd. In fact, the god of creation didnt show much favor to me from a while ago. Rather, didnt he continue to act annoying enough to make this side act as if they were going to fight at any time? No way, I didnt know that the other side would say such a thing, so I felt a slight absurdity, but that was only for a moment. I wish you would make a formal promise like I said in the time you were talking about that. [ dont worry. Even if its not, I think so. Im getting ready without rushing too much. ] As if she didnt like me, I urged her, and the answer I wanted came back. [To work with a being like you, I feel uneasy with a verbal contract. ] Tsutsutsu -. All of a sudden, the god of creation was using his right hand to gather the divine power of white light, and was unleashing his divine abilities. The divinity < Creation > is activated and creates something new in exchange for divinity, faith, and tales. Seeing this, I opened my eyes wide and once again felt that my guess was correct. Its a divine supernatural ability thats perfectly the same as the divine < Creation > that the Tower of Trials has. It is not a coincidence that the way in which creation is made at the cost of ones own divinity, faith, and tales. Then the Tower of Trials is certain to be rted in some way to the beings called the three ancient deities. Originally, the supernatural powers of the Tower of Trials must have dealt with high-level concepts of creation,w, and miracles, respectively. And the same goes for that gray pir. As it was, I looked once more at the gray pirs visible beyond the < model garden > of the divine realm. . What kind of cause and effect was that gray pir that seemed to mimic the Tower of Trials? There may be a key to answering the many questions raised while climbing the Tower of Trials. Thats why, instead of acting suspiciously to the God of Creation, I decided to take a peek at the opportunity to slowly gain information. If you hang around as close to the god of creation as possible and gather information about it, you will know what is the correct answer. If I contribute to winning the war of the gods, Ill find out what happened. It was time for me to look at the god of creation and organize my thoughts on the war of the gods. ! In the blink of an eye, the white divine light that flowed from the god of creation then transformed into a form close to an object. I cant believe that Seeing that, I parted my lips in interest and spat out the words. Is it a holy relic? Its nothing else A contract containing divinity Rating: S- A contract containing divinity created by the god of creation forged by his own divinity, power, and spirit. Designate the other party by mutual agreement When a contract is established, the effect ofpulsory contract fulfillment takes ce. The effect ofpulsory contract fulfillment is limited to contracts made under mutual agreement, regardless of the will of the parties. It was no different from a high relic. The god of creation nods and replies. [Thats correct. ] She continued talking by immediately using the holy relic, Sacred Contract (S-), created with the Divine < Creation >. By the exclusive effect of the sacred contract (S-), the contract proceeds under mutual agreement with the designated target. ] After seeing the system message indicating that the holy relic Sacred Contract (S-) had been activated, I epted it. epted. Due to the exclusive effect of the Sacred Contract (S-), a contract has been concluded under mutual agreement with the designated target. ordingly, the Holy Relic Sacred Contract (S-) ) at the moment when the activation ends. Aww-! As it was, the God of Creation said without hesitation, tearing up the Holy Artifact Sacred Contract (S-). [Now that we have finished the promise ofpensation as you wished, we have to deal with the most urgent first. ] It seems like now that the contract has beenpulsorily fulfilled as the other side wants, they will not waste time and write it down. [In the War of the Gods, you are now on the side of order, so you should be put on the front line as a deity belonging to the order camp right now. ] And. [ Western Front. A ce where many of the top deities and devils presumed to be members of the Demon Gods gather. I want you to go there right away. ] The Western Front. [Is it possible? ] Of course not. To him, I sighed and then lightly replied. Even if you didnt bother me that much, I would have gone to fight myself. Originally, the ancient deities, high-ranking deities, or formal deities in this war of gods must have the same power as real beings, not illusions. Even if you dont, I still have work to do. If so, I cant help but wonder. It will be fun. I wonder if even fakes that are infinitely close to the real thing can get amand with necromancy. Chapter 426 426. War of the Gods (3) The cornerstone has beenid. It is now clear that the three ancient deities and the Tower of Trials are deeply rted in some way. The answer wille on its own over time. I couldnt rule out the possibility that I would get into trouble by asking more than this, so I just postponed listening to the answer untilter. I know for sure that the three ancient deities are deeply intertwined with the Tower of Trials, so I just need to take my time and slowly figure out what happened. Of course, I felt some regret. Its notmon to face someone who can dispel all the doubts youve umted while climbing the Tower of Trials. To be honest, if I could hear the story I wanted from the God of Creation, no matter where I was, I wanted to leave it at least an irrational number. But it couldnt be. If I just openly ask about the things I want to know without thinking, I can notice something from me over there. This might be a one-time chance to find out what the inside story is in the Tower of Trials. If you act rashly and nervously, you dont know what variables will eventually lead to mistakes. It was confirmed that there is a high possibility that those who are still called the three ancient deities have not made direct contact with the Tower of Trials, so the minimum goal has been achieved. For now, it would be best to observe the situation in the war of the gods while hiding what I want. Even the condition to clear the 36th floor ordeal given by the Tower of Trials was to survive until the end of the War of the Gods, so there was no particr reason to fret. Theres still plenty of time left. It was all the more so because I had alreadye this far and heard from the god of proof how much the war of the gods had progressed. Of course , I havent heard much in- depth information like how the war of the gods is going or where the ancient deities are. There wont be too much time. The other side wont ask me anything anymore. Not to mention, even the god of creation seemed to be willing to appropriately pass over the somewhat suspiciousness or sense of alienation, as if he desperately wanted me to add strength to the order camp. Lets aim for the next opportunity while participating in the war of the gods. Then there is no reason to continue the boring conversation. There is no need to waste time. At that, I prepared to go to the battlefield with a cool smile on my lips. The Western Front. A ce where not only high-ranking deities, but also the demons households are gathered. Just tell me where it is and Ill go right away. Hearing this, the God of Creation nodded lightly and responded with a very pleased expression. The God of Creation is pleased with your cooperation. [ Thats good. I like your assertiveness. Itsfortable because I dont have to wear quads. Ill attach one of the higher deities on the Western Front as your guide. ] As if he hadnt expected that this side would move as smoothly as he wanted without anyints. [Ive made arrangements so that you can get out fairly close to the western front when you leave the sacred realm. After that, you just have to go to the western front ording to the guidance of the higher godhead. ] One, and that for a while. Tsutsutsu!! In an instant, a gigantic stone gate connecting space to space appeared in the middle of the divine realm < Model Garden >. [Now, since I honestly answered the question you asked and promised a proper reward by using the supernatural ability of the divine, I hope that you will be active. ] Perhaps, by going out through that great stone gate, one could enter the vicinity of the Western Front. I was thinking of doing that even if you didnt say that in the first ce. To that, I replied bluntly, opening the huge stone gate in the middle of the divine realm < model garden >. Depending on what you achieve, you have the opportunity to reap more rewards than you can imagine, so why not work hard? Ku-gu-gu-gu-. Its just enough for you to hide well here like you did until now. and. Then lets seeter The moment he was about to go out through the huge stone gate, warming up as if he was frowning. To God, life is nothing more than a bug. Suddenly, I remembered what I had said to someone who did not know who the god of creation was. God is only blinded by greed for faith. They dont care about nobody in the world. If I can gain faith, I will do anything. I dont know why, but when I remembered her words that burned with great hostility toward the gods, it felt like grains of sand were rolling in my mouth. Somehow, I just remembered one more question Was that why? What do you think about gods and mortals? As it is, before participating in the war of the gods in earnest, I asked a question without expecting too much. [ hmm. what to do I dont have to answer you now. Well, you should have asked me earlier when you had the chance to ask me anything. ] Really? Then you dont have to answer. Well, I was just a little curious about what they thought of gods and mortals. Then go now. He must have asked that because he didnt even have to care much about whatever answer the god of creation gave. [I dont have any particr thoughts. ] But [Its just that the gods are the ones who get in the way of what I want, and the mortals dont deserve much attention, except for those who can gain faith. ] Somehow, despite the question I asked without thinking, she unexpectedly gave a proper answer. [Doesnt the gods generally think that way? [] Torsion emanates from somewhere. [The gods each other only argue about whether or not to rule which, and they ignore the opinions of mortals who have already lived on the for a long time, as if its okay. ] In her reply, a mixture of disgust, contempt, and hatred was indelibly buried. [Thats it. ] Is that why? After hearing that, I didnt answer and moved my steps again as if I had heard a trivial story, but my intentions were different. Beok beok-. It was ominous. So, I need an existence that can kill all gods. Somehow, it seemed that there was a hidden purpose behind the war of the gods, which was the greatest scale of ughter, unlike external causes and practical interests. Also, an omnipotent and omnipotent transcendent with power that surpasses all gods. Its also very twisted. *** Chak-. In the blink of an eye, Inded in an unknown forest in the sacred realm < Model Garden >. Is this here? As soon as possible, he calmed down the thoughts rising from the depths of his heart and looked around while holding back his divinity. I should have said that I would send a higher deity to guide me to the western front ording to the original creation god, there had to be a higher deity to guide me this way. I cant feel the presence of a high-ranking deity anywhere. Even if this sides divinity or mana was hidden so that the enemies wouldnt discover it, so the sensing ability was weakened. and then. I thought the western front would be in a ce not too far from here. That means one thing. Then it bes simpler. Its nothing else Because theres a high possibility that something happened on the Western Front itself that couldnt send even a single high-ranking deity here. In fact, it can be seen as meaning that an emergency has urred on the Western Front in the War of the Gods. . As a result, I quickly expanded my sensing area to the far beyond, raising my bodily sensations perfectly. I can feel it. The pure senses that had spread beyond this nameless and unidentified forest at some point grasped the reactions of countless living beings and the waves of divine power. Divine power. until mana and magi. where it leads from where Each one is clear. Currently, the high-ranking deities belonging to the chaos camp and those presumed to be the descendants of demons are constantly pushing the high-ranking deities who seem to belong to the order camp. Did the Western Front itselfe to the brink of being swallowed up by the Chaos Camp? I never thought I would see enemies spread out like this as soon as I came to the Western Front. But for this one, it wasnt bad. At this point, its not an appropriate level for a basic warm-up and test, but its full of kicks. obviously. They said it was the beginning of the era If I had to ask, should I say that as soon as I went on an overseas trip and got off at a tourist destination, all sorts of restaurants and tourist attractions seemed to be scattered on the street? The Tower of Trials is an era that is no different from the heyday of the gods. Even with the original power of the Tower of Trials, there are strong people like ancient deities and higher deities who should have been impossible to imitate. I want to fight each and every one of them. Although they are a kind of imitations made by the Tower of Trials, in any case, the Remegeton given by the Demon God gave them power infinitely closer to the real thing. How much would it be worth hunting for? Even if the demon said with a nuance that Remegeton would not be able to activate the supernatural powers of necromancy and the mythical < Possibility of Transcendence >, it would be a different story if I added my supernatural powers to making a replica of the Tower of Trials. Thats pretty much expected anyway. It wont be long before we know if we can activate the supernormal ability of necromancy or the mythical Possibility of Transcendence against the fake god created by the Tower of Trials. Jijijijijijijijik-! A folding whirlpool Should we go? Because I have no intention of putting off knowing the answer this time. *** War of the Gods. In an unprecedented ughter battle waged by the three ancient deities, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, the two camps were advancing and retreating repeatedly. The two factions, now called the Order Camp and the Chaos Camp respectively, were busy opening the road to their respective bases. [ ha ha ha!! They really are like worms!! How could I not realize that even a wolf is helpless in front of the god-king I saw! ] [ Everyone, dont hesitate-! Didnt the great devil even help his family in punishing those hypocrites! Victory is ours! ] [ I-! Creatians rightful ruler and main god! No one will take away the ruled by this great God of Waters!! ] But. gg gg gg gg gg gg gg-! No matter what kind of fight it is, the path between the winner and the loser is clearly decided. Kkwagwagwagwagwagwang-! [Kuh-! ] [Why did you be like this! The Demon Goddess should have been neutral, not siding with either order or chaos!! It cant be like this. ] [Damn it-! To think that the Demon God would break the neutrality deration and send the Demon King to the Western Front!! Lets fight together until the divine light sinks to the other side of the abyss! ] War of the Gods also frequently saw both camps stalemate on multiple fronts, but the status quo could not be maintained forever. Polluted Storm of Lejie Pababababababababababababak!! Western Front. In the blink of an eye, ck magic, which only the strong of the demon world could handle, was cast from beyond the sky on the western front, and green raindrops nearly swept the ground. In a short period of just about ten seconds, a green storm made of demonic energy pours down like arge number of arrows. under-! under-! under-! As a result, a demonic man was bewildered when he saw that the higher-ranking deities were unterally pushing without even seeding in any counterattack. okay! So shallow and frivolous, crawl and run away! Isnt that the only outrage you can do in front of this Zebram-nim! Zebram, who had reigned as the demon king of the original world, burst into a madugh and spread demonic energy in all directions. Dont you know that worms have been treated undeservedly for too long just because they dont know my subject? Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! I can feel it!! Zebram spat out the words in a tone intoxicated with himself while scattering ck demonic energy all over his body. Unless the great demon is trying to upgrade this Zebram-nim to the rank of 72 demons, there is no way he will give you this much power!! It was as if it had been confirmed that the Demon God, one of the rulers of the universe, would select and promote himself as an official apostle. Haha-! ats-! The day hase for this Zebram-sama to rise to that lofty throne! In a hierarchy that is not even a match for an ancient deity other than a great demon!! However, despite this, Zebrams ck magic or magic was close to a level that could be talked about. Now, die in front of the power of this Zebram-samas chosen Demon King! However Lets get together all together- It was only possible because there was no one on the western front who could stand against the demon lord who was empowered by the demon god. [Folding Vortex] Chijijijijijijikjik!! The power of the chosen demon king? That was the moment. In the blink of an eye, ck demonic energy overflows in the middle of the western front, and at the same time, a gap in space opens. And from beyond, a young-looking man walked out, frowning as if he didnt understand what he had just heard. no way-. Its not different-. So much? . It was Han Seong-yoon. Chapter 427 427. War of the Gods (4) Chak-. Folding Vortex Before I knew it, I entered the middle of the Western Front with the ck magic [Folding Vortex], and a demonic man was emitting a high voice. I can feel it!! -There is no way the great demon would give this much power to Zebram-nim unless he wants to upgrade him to the 72 demons!! Ha ha ha! ats-! The day hase for this Zebram-nim to ascend to that lofty throne! In a hierarchy that would not even be an opponent of an ancient deity other than a great demon!! Somehow, it seems that a demonic man who calls himself Zebram is running rampant while having managed to get some usable power from the Demon God -Now, die in front of the power of the demon king chosen by this Zebram-nim-! It was absurd. The power of the chosen demon king? At this point, Im about tough. Something like that? It was worth it. In this universe, the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods should be close to the losers who have existed since the distant past. Well, knowing what kind of strength the demon possesses, if you are greatly favored by the demon, you should not be able to treat it carelessly, even if it is an ancient deity. However, isnt that a story that can only be established when the premise is that it is favored by the Demon God? Just looking at it, it doesnt seem like hes receiving that much power from the demon In fact, from my point of view, the power of that demon male named Zebram couldnt be called so phenomenal. Does he really think that he is the demon king chosen by the demon god? If I had to put it into perspective, I wonder if it would be simr to, or a little less than, a strong person who managed to achieve a high level of hierarchy and strength among the top deities. Im so weak. Perhaps, if this is a demon I know, I will see that Zebram, the demon king, set it up like that, and in an instant, even the power he gave to the author will be retrieved. Awesome. Was that so? Before I knew it, I was standing on the dry, twistingnd of the Western Front, expressing a mocking sentiment. Somehow, I wanted to do that because I heard the nonsense of that demon king named Zebram. To say such a thing confidently on a topic that is only slightly stronger than the top deities With infinite honesty. Its a skill to be able to talk about such delusions without shame, like being a really chosen demon king or being recognized as one of the 72 devils by demons. But You!! Was that too annoying to hear? dare. Do you think youll be able to survive even if you provoke Zebram-sama like that?! Woo woo woo woo woo-! In the blink of an eye, Zebram let out a life-threatening roar, scattering thick demonic energy all over his body. You dare to insult this Zebram-sama like that!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In an instant, a demonic storm poured into thend. It was not at all a ck magic or supernatural ability as a demon king, but an expression of the very simple magic itself, but nevertheless, it was powerful in itself. It is the power of the demon king who received the grace of the demon god, who unterally pushed the high-ranking deities of the order camp to the defensive in the war of the gods. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu! This! A lowly thing! You bastard, let this Zebram-nim personally rip you limb from limb!! In fact, in this War of the Gods, if they were the upper deities on the western front, they would have no choice but to be weighed down by that colossal demonic force. The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >. You can be equal with your opponent. If you cannot withstand the umted burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy Control >. . It bes possible to freely adjust and handle the spirit attack you possess. You can tune the formless power to the spirit attack and apply the effect of the spirit attack to that power. However . The skill Manmaji Kingfħ֮ is strongly activated. Absorbs all demonic energy and converts it into magical power . Isnt it a story of no tolerance? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! When the skill Manmaji King is activated in an instant, the overwhelming amount of demonic energy that pours out in all directions is converted into magic within the body and disappears. . Its also very neat. What is this? Is that why? Howe? Unknowingly, an expression of embarrassment bloomed on Zebrams face as he looked down. How on earth can you handle the demonic energy of the chosen Demon King when you are a lowly thing that has not been chosen by the Demon God!! Perhaps I dont understand how the skill King of Manmaji took away even the leadership of the Magi from that side and absorbed it into the body Didnt I say that only the chosen Demon King can handle the Magi? I gave him a lightugh, as if I was dumbfounded, and then replied. Is there any need to ask me more after you have already given the most urate answer yourself? Its a really simple story. Dont talk nonsense anymore about being the demon king chosen by the demon god yourself. Thats-. The god of transcendence and death looks at the clumsy demon lord and smiles. ] To be honest, isnt this also a kind of demon king? *** In an instant, a great Magi storm arose on the Western Front. [Lerazies Polluted Storm] Countless green raindrops made of demonic energy that somehow felt familiar were shooting from the sky to the ground. Do-do-do-do-do-do-doo! One of the high-level ck magics bestowed on Zebram for the first andst time by the demon god, the one and only owner of the demon realm. you-! Zebram let out a roar of rage, with the intent to kill and hatred in his two red-stained eyes. The one who didnt even dare to be chosen by a demon god and didnt even know what it was was a chosen demon king! Are you talking like that! In fact, being the chosen Demon King is something of pride for Zebram, who has never received even a single gaze from the Demon God. Ill tear you apart and kill you! And for that reason, for himself as the chosen Demon King, it was inevitable that he felt a great shame that the pride that he could not hand over to anyone was damaged. coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo. The enormous demonic force that should bepared to the sea, which cannot even bepared with ordinary demons or demons, sweeps the ground like a ck tidal wave. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! But even so, it doesnt get to where you want it to be. The god of transcendence and deathughs at a clumsy demon lord. [The chosen demon lord? ] Before I knew it, Han Seong-yoon was wearing a twisted smile with the magi he had collected from Zebram all over his body. [ this? ] !! Even if it was a mighty and vast demon, it would just scatter without any meaning in front of it. Damn it, where are the top godheads of the chaos camp doing what? Hurry up and kill those bugs that are not good enough to chew on! At this point, Zebram couldnt be unaware of that fact, so rather than confronting that unknown and irritating enemy alone, he summoned higher-level deities with divinity. [ this-! Where in the demon realm is the garbage that has been eaten by the devil giving orders to this great god of the walled sea!! Even if I dont, Ill be able to kill him! Displeased! ] [ Tsk. to be annoying I didnt know that among them, there was someone who could stand against a demon lord of that level. If you dont deal with it, youll be in trouble. ] [ I dont care!! Anyway, all the hypocrite children of the order camp over there are just defeated soldiers!! What can a guy like that do? Wouldnt it be enough if I killed you!! ] It is notparable to the ancient deity that is different from the head of this universe, but the higher deities are also beings with enough power to be called the rulers of a. Hard! Truly countless divine supernatural powers, ck magic, and magic consisting of pure mana aimed at one and poured out. Divine < Remorse > is used. Can interfere with the past concept of time. However, if the interference is unrted to the user of Divine < Remorse >, the activation of Divinity is canceled . So, so, so, so-. Slow down. [ What else is this!? ] [ Damn it rain! Why doesnt the supernormal ability of the divinity work properly? damn it!! I cant even get the sashimi! ] [ I cant believe this!! Did you slow down time itself? In addition, by designating only the surrounding space where you are standing? do nonsense!! ] Without exception, any of the divine abilities, ck magic, or magic made of pure mana was almost fixed in the air. Ki-i-i-! and. The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing divine < death > is created. Thats not all. Before he knew it, Han Seong-yoon was using the divine < remorse > to prevent the divine supernatural powers, ck magic, and pure magic from reaching his whole body, and was producing starlight from his two swords. Its the starlight that seems to contain death itself, which somehow feels so ominous. The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Spirit Source Demonic Sword, Doubling is activated. Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [4] times. The next moment. !! The light of the star of death, which was unmatched, rode the de and spread in all directions. Kkwajijijijijijijijik-! It is the power of divinity that contains the concept of absolute death beyondmon sense that should not have existed practically anywhere in this universe. [Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ] [ Weweheek-! Poetry, can the level of divinity be so high? Even if its a top 4 deity, theres no way it could be this strong!! Mama, it doesnt seem like this is the only way to be an ancient deity. ] [ Ancient Goddess? Dont be ridiculous! Ive never heard of an ancient deity like that anywhere! Big! ] Despite the fact that there were quite a few people who had been hit by the divine starlight or even slightly injured, they were now all showing uncontroble fear. [A new ancient deity was born? Thats a story Ive never heard of anywhere! Something went wrong ] [ Heh heh heh! What does that matter now!! You have to run away too! If you do this, everyone will die! Hurry up and run away to survive! i have to go! ] [Keuheouk!! What the hell is the concept of poetry divinity! Why does it feel like my whole body is being burned even though I just brushed against the supernatural ability of the divine!! Can I beat something like that! ] Like prey in front of a predator they couldnt win in the first ce. Ahhh? Winners and losers change in an instant. You guys! Where are you going! I am the one chosen by the demon! Thats Zebram! If you run away from this ce, I will tell the demon and consider it a betrayal There was really nothing different. [Shut up!! That is an ancient deity!! Immortal and monster! Even if youre a good demon, bring it to this ce right away! Otherwise, its not going to pay off! damn it!! ] Just seeing Han Seong-yoon standing still, the high-ranking deities screaming and running away as if they are so afraid now. The god of transcendence and death leisurely looks at the demon lord who is not like a demon lord. ] And. [For being the demon king chosen by that demon, nothing was done properly, from the basic maniption of magic to the understanding of ck magic. ] It was then. [Still, this one was pretty good. ] next moment. [So] Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu. All of a sudden, the vast amount of demonic energy that Han Seong-yoon drew from his body turned into a single ck magic. Polluted storm in Lejie [ Ill use this well.] In an instant, green meteorspletely covered the sky. It could be said that he was on a different level from Zebram, who was bestowed with only weak power by a mere demon. And what that meant, every man on the Western Front knew. Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa! It was annihtion. Chapter 428 428. War of the Gods (5) ck magic. It is an infinitely special power that can only be obtained by demons, demons, or those who have a body structure that can innately handle demons. Even if they are strong people who break away from the mortal frame by bing a high-ranking deity or a formal deity, they cannot handle ck magic unless these innate conditions are met. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu. okay. It should have been. No one should be able to handle ck magic, even among beings who have achieved the hierarchy of divinity, whether it is a high-ranking deity or a formal deity. Even in the demon world, such as the demon king chosen by the demon god or the 72 devils who assist the owner of the demon world, it was natural that this should be the case, unless they were non-standard beings. [Lerazies polluted storm] [ Ill make good use of this. ] But that was not so. Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa! In an instant, a green meteor shower covered the sky. It was a light that seemed to contain countless curses and grievances in each raindrop that fell from the heavens. Unlike Zebram, who uttered arrogant nonsense saying that he was chosen by a demon, he was a very chauvinistic figure. It falls from the heavens to the ground and spreads. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! It was a disaster. Despite the fact that one of the infinitely pouring green meteor showers, those who touch even a little bit of the green meteor shower die without a single exception. All over the Western Front, higher and official deities howled in pain and fear, but even that was buried behind the sound of the pouring annihtion rain. Chii-i-i-! Not even that. Zebram, who had even imed to be the demon king chosen by the demon god, was no different even though he had a strong resistance to demonic energy. He barely managed to keep his life by pouring the green raindrops that flowed down from the heavens with the demonic energy he squeezed from his whole body. gg gg gg gg gg -. Oh ah ah ah ah ah ah !! It was worth it. Originally, the ck magic [Lerazies Polluted Storm] must have been a vast range of attacks made by pure demonic energy. However, in the green meteor shower that poured over the entire western front, not only pure demons, but also divine abilities were mixed. What is this! Thats huge too. This cant be Zebram was horrified as he felt the terrible pain of melting the skin all over his body. The supernatural powers of the citys divinity were mixed with ck magic? It is a force beyond the providence of the universe. How! How! Do you think such a thing is possible! Divine abilities and ck magic cannot be easily mixed like water and oil, and even if one seeds in doing so, it is close to impossible to use them this far. A bastard who wasnt even chosen by the Demon God!! In fact, the closer it is to the ck magic of ascension, the more it is an absolute skill that is close to fantasy to mix the powers such as divinity or mana to achieve perfect harmony. Why did you get that kind of power that even this chosen demon king wasnt allowed!! but for a while. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu The green meteor shower that rained down from the sky over the Western Front soon faded and before long a figure descended across the sky with his back to the sunlight. ssss-. and. came to mind. Somehow, the sight of a man descending from the skies over the Western Front reminded Zebram of the most glorious moment of the past. A demon king who had built a narrow position on only one, he had seen one of the rulers of the universe when he was reborn as the chosen demon king. Ah Demon God. One of the rulers of this universe and the only owner of the Demon Realm, an absolute being who was extraordinary from birth and stood side by side with people like the Gods of Darkness and Dragon Gods. Feelings of awe and despair, felt only from an absolute being who reigns over all the demons he had to learn with his limbs and head down to the ground, are repeated. Ah ah ah I realized. I came to understand why those high-ranking deities belonging to the chaos camp did not even dare to think of hostility and ran away, swallowed up in fear and despair. The reason why he was able to handle ck magic at a higher level than those who imed to be favored by demons as the chosen demon king was also clear. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah . I understood what kind of existence those who thought that the devil, the god of darkness, or the dragon god would be no different from the higher gods, except for the exceptionally strong ones. From the beginning, it wasnt at the level where he could say things like that because he was the chosen demon king. Before he knew it, Zebram was able to gradually ovep the image of an absolute man steeped in arrogance and boredom in the stern face of a man reflected in his field of vision. This is And then. Ancient deity The next moment. The god of transcendence and death looks at the loser and pronounces a death sentence inly. [ Die. ] In the blink of an eye, words like a death sentence came out and Zebrams head was cut diagonally. Slowly! Neatly too. *** In an instant the fighting on the Western Front was over. As this side used all of their divine abilities, skills, and even ck magic, the enemies died without any resistance, like autumn leaves. Didnt he even learn a new ck magic worth using in his own way from a certain demon king who even imed to be the demon king chosen by the demon god? If I had to argue, its definitely an advantage. Thats not all. In fact, even if he hadnt learned any new ck magic, it was a win for him to win such a neat victory on the Western Front. It was because he was able to absorb the powers of higher-ranking deities and demon lords based on necromancy and the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >. If something like this hadnt suddenly appeared to me. But An error urred. The unique attribute Necromancy is on , and the severe is &^%[email protected]#$*. Why? An error has urred. Shinhwa < Possibility of transcendence > is in , and this is &^%[email protected]#$*. In front of your eyes The system messages that appeared were acting as if necromancy and myth < possibility of transcendence > could not be activated. What is this again? I frowned at him and thought about why necromancy and the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > were holding the brakes on their activation. Could it be that high-level deities or demon lords created by the Tower of Trials cant obtain the spirits? It was strange. No way. Isnt it? Even if the enemies I saw in the Tower of Trials were virtually imitations, I was able to extract the spirits as well. Originally, the Tower of Trials should have been able to obtain spirits from replicas that were no different from fakes with its necromancy. Then I have to do it again this time. However, despite this, necromancy and myth < Possibility of Transcendence > transmit twisted system messages to inform only that each supernormal ability cannot be properly activated. Why? Of course, I had to guess. In fact, the beings such as higher deities, formal deities, and ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials are miraculous imitations reproduced just like the real thing by the Remegeton given by the devil. Perhaps, considering that Necromancy or the mythical < Possibility of Transcendence > could not be activated even in the Remegeton given by the demon, this may be the reason. Could it be that it is difficult to extract the spirits of the top deities and formal deities created by the Tower of Trials and the enemies that canpete with them It made sense. Even if the ancient deities and higher deities created by the Tower of Trials are no different from the real ones, there may be ws somewhere. And as a result, it would not be difficult to understand if the necromancy or the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > could not be activated. An error But Annoying. What does that mean? The god of transcendence and death draws out the light of divinity with a twisted smile. [ Theres no such thing as an error like this that can stand against the power I possess. ] With the power of my divinity and my personality, I can suppress errors like these. Kwakjijijijijijijijijik-! There was really nothing different. In the blink of an eye, the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > and the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > are activated, forcing necromancy and the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > to be forcibly tuned and the principle of absolute immutability applied. As the most powerful ancient deity in the universe, if the divinity was applied to necromancy and myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, it could cause miracles beyondmon sense. Tsutsutsu! Absorbed the spirit of Ragziel, the god of the sea.] Absorbed the spirit of Citamano, the god of the sea.] Mortana Kantia, the god ofmandments. Absorbed your spirit Its nothing else. Increases the mastery of the unique attribute Necromancy by 1%. It was simple. In fact, he seeded in acquiring powers that he should not have been able to obtain through necromancy. All of a sudden, the power of necromancy this side has is forcibly activated, and countless spirits enter the body, albeit in twisted and distorted forms. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a higher deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.77%. Challenger Seong-yoon Hans victory against a higher-ranked deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.68%. By winning against the opponent, [Transcendence] increases by 0.67% And thats not all. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the Demon Lord of the highest rank brought her 1.03% closer to [Transcendence]. Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > was activated properly unlike before, following Necromancy, and made forcible power growth. The Tower of Trials tolerates yourpulsive plundering behavior to some extent. The Tower of Trials activates the exclusive authority #A-087 [Change the Trial Break Reward] and changes the Trial Clear reward. I do. That means one thing. The Tower of Trials activates exclusive permission #A-087[Changes to Break through the Trials], and the rewards for clearing the Trials are changed from to Able to activate unique attributes and unique myths to one of the ancient deities. It means that the necromancy this side possesses and the supernormal abilities of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > can be used even with the reproduced ancient godhead. thats great. Thats very certain. Chapter 429 429. Butterfly effect (1) In an instant, system messages appeared one after another. The Tower of Trials tolerates yourpulsive plundering behavior to some extent. The Tower of Trials activates the exclusive authority #A-087 [Change the Trial Break Reward] and changes the Trial Clear reward. I do. And then. The Tower of Trials activates exclusive permission #A-087 [Changes to breakthrough rewards], and the rewards for clearing trials are changed from to allowing one of the ancient deities to activate unique attributes and unique myths. As it was, I read out the system messages that appeared in my field of vision one by one, remained silent for a moment, and then spat out words mixed withughter. thats great. It was huge. The situation has changed to something that can obtain the power of an ancient deity instead of something unknown that was set as a reward for clearing the ordeal. In fact, this is what allowed the Tower of Trials to use not only high-ranking or formal deities, but even ancient deities as a basis for growth. To think that even an ancient deity that isnt a high-level deity or official deity can be swallowed up with necromancy and myth < possibility of transcendence > I looked at the system message beyond my field of vision, then smiled thrilledly. . Even if the imitations made by the Tower of Trials are fakes that are no different from the real thing, its a staggering thing. In the Tower of Trials, the change of the ordeal clear reward to something that allows you to activate unique attributes and unique myths of ancient deities had a greater meaning. Depending on what I do from now on, the possibility of getting something beyond my imagination isnt enough, so its a great chance overflowing. It was worth it. The ancient deities, who are called the most powerful beings in this universe, are in a state of madness that must be transformed into the concept of divinity itself. In the first ce, the number of ancient gods in this universe is not so many, and the number of ancient gods that can be hunted by this side is inevitably scarce. Anyway, its highly likely that all the ancient deities outside the Tower of Trials belong to the Pantheon. That couldnt have been a good sign. Perhaps, if the emotions mixed with hatred, vignce, and jealousy shown by the many ancient deities seen in the pantheon the other day, a big incident would explode in the near future. Not to mention, the enemies this side had to deal with were not only them, but also the overwhelmingly powerful god of despair, fall, and madness. To be honest, its like theres no way to widen the overwhelming growth gap from the enemies outside of this tower of trials. There wasnt even that much time. Its been decided what to do on their own, and its obvious how many ancient deities wille out in the future. And thats why, in this Tower of Trials, having a chance to devour an ancient deity, one of the rulers of the universe, had no choice but toe with even greater meaning. If its not now, theres no other way. It was truly a golden opportunity. Then I quickly be stronger here. Not even that. Even the Tower of Trials, unlike in the past, even though this side forcibly invoked its power, it even tolerated it without catching anything. At least one of the ancient deities in these wars of the gods basically needed to be hunted. Oh I cleared away the system messages that were stuck in my field of vision and smiled. I cant wait to find out where and what kind of game. Fortunately, one more thing that can be obtained from the war of the gods has increased. From now on, I will be busy in my own way. Funnily enough. *** was expected. The war of the gods and what you might get for yourself if you defeat one of the ancient deities that resides in its depths. To be honest, even if I climbed the Tower of Trials to a higher ce, the possibility of getting a great chance like now is weak, so I felt even more joy. Its hard not to feel the joy in the first ce. But DWhat the heck is this Somehow, a Moorim man who died due tock of skill while climbing the Tower of Trials didnt seem to like something. DThat you can get power just like the real one from fakes that the Tower of Trials created? Damcheonwu, who didnt say much, said as if he had seen an iprehensible phenomenon. -her! Even if it were the Tower of Trials, the only transcendent structure in this universe, there would be no way this would be easily possible. Isnt it a miracle far beyond the providence? To be honest, it was a natural reaction. Although the original Tower of Trials is a transcendent structure, it makes no sense to replicate such high-ranking deities, formal deities, and ancient deities. Wasnt the only thing that the Tower of Trials could create were pseudo-gods whose concept of divinity was not properly established? It must be natural to think that way. In fact, being able to demonstrate the supernormal ability of necromancy against fake high-ranking deities, official deities, and ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials itself is a miracle that defiesmon sense. Well, if you think about it, it doesnt make any sense at all. Nevertheless, if you think about it deeply, you can draw a convincing conclusion, albeit narrowly. Thats because this stage created by the Tower of Trials has even Lemegetons supernormal abilities added to it. The ability of Remegeton, which is no different from a holy relic obtained from a demon in the past, was able to produce simr results, although it had a different purpose from the Tower of Trials. Practically, the Remegeton given by the Demon God is no different from a kind of power he possesses. Its a holy relic, but its an item with more value than a holy relic, right? It was barely eptable because it was a one-time miracle that happened by mixing the Tower of Trials and the supernatural abilities of Remegeton, one of the demons who are the rulers of this universe. Its not that strange to reproduce the war of the gods by using an item that is no different from one of the powers given by the demon god, one of the rulers of this universe. DI dont know. In my opinion, what you said has some truth. Even if you take that into ount and look at it, it doesnt change that it is very heterogeneous. As it was, the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rang lightly, and at the same time, Damcheonwu continued. -Is that all? Like you said, lets pretend that the fake ancient deity out there is the same as the real one. Even so, it is not something to be epted very warmly. A voice full of doubts, as if there were a couple of things that were somehow unclear. DIn this universe, those who are called ancient deities are themselves a concept and beings who have been reborn as immortals. Is that why? DIf even the fake ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials are beings that are no different from the real thing, wouldnt you be too happy about it? Why? -Its simple. Because it is an ancient deity. Beings who are the rulers of the universe, immortals, and have been sublimated into a single concept itself. What if there is no distinction between real and fake? It must be obvious. At this point, it seemed that I could understand what the other side was saying. -hmm. Think about it. If the Tower of Trials could create you, Han Seong-yoon, no different from yourself, what kind of existence would that be? what would he do sharpen. DIn the first ce, if each of those ancient deities is a monster that inscribed its own divinity and concept into the universe, wouldnt it know that it is a fake? Before I knew it, I realized that the story of Damcheonwoo that I heard from inside the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was not a delusion that could note true. DDo you really not notice anything until the very end that this fake world created by the Tower of Trials is a cage made only for you? After climbing the Tower of Trials on his own, he finally transformed into the concept of divinity itself and became an ancient god, so he could imagine it. C Han Seong-yoon. Possibility that is nothing short of a thread. DDo you think the fake that the Tower of Trials perfectly imitated and reproduced as you are, as an ancient deity, will never know that he is a fake? It means that it can be realized at any time if there is only one asion. DAnd so, what kind of thoughts and actions do you think the fake ancient deity created by the Tower of Trials will show? ancient deity. DIf thats the case, is it a situation only beneficial to you that the ancient deities that existed in the beginning of the war were reproduced at the same level as the real ones? ruler of the universe. DAs time goes by, even a trivial act like a butterfly pping its wings can change more than you think. Each of them bes the concept of divinity itself, and they are immortal beings freed from the bondage of life and death. DWhether that would be good for you or bad for you, I cant say anything. It is not certain until time passes that it will cease to be pure prey as this side hopes. DThe only thing I can say is that if the Tower of Trials did something like this to you, there would surely be hardships and hardships corresponding to it. Not to mention, the Tower of Trials has never vited the basic order and structure of high risk, high return for challengers. DThat is the principle of the Tower of Trials. Somehow, the war of the gods did not seem to go smoothly as they wished. *** Time passed quickly. Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits Muscle strength increased by 57 Agility increased by 58HP increased by 59 Magic power increased by 64 Durability increased It has risen by 56. The concept has risen by 31. Before I knew it, I invested in the growth of all the abilities of all themanders I had collected from all over the Western Front and changed them. Its wonderful. All of the enemies defeated by this side were high-ranking deities, official deities, or even demon lords who couldnt easily defeat them, so the increase in all stats was high in their own way. Its unfortunate that none of the skills were extracted. Well, if its unfortunate that Necromancy or the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence > didnt get much useable power other than the basic growth function, it would be a pity. Anyway, the power of necromancy is generally a simple random probability fight if certain conditions are met, so next time Ill be able to get a useful ability. but for a while. Rather, is it a matter of finding out where the survivors of the orderly faction who fled earlier are on the Western Front? As it was, I continued to walk through the Western Front, which had turned into a wastnd, to find out where the survivors of the orderly side had gone. Earlier, I felt that everyone was retreating while fighting on the Western Front, but I dont know where or how the deities of the order camp retreated because I didnt care. They just continue their search without paying attention to what happens in the war of the gods. I had to know that the war between the gods would not go smoothly thanks to Damcheonwu, who had been sleeping inside the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, giving me unexpected advice But it was hard to see it as an issue that needed immediate action . There is nothing I can do right now whether or not the many ancient deities in the War of the Gods notice something. It was natural. Then its right to take care of the things I can do step by step. Yes, in this war of gods, it is said that a number of ancient gods somewhere can break something, but if you look closely, it is still just a hypothesis. Jerk-jerk-. And ordingly, I went in search of deities of the side of order who would have withdrawn from this Western Front. But even that didntst very long. Before I knew it, I felt some kind of life reaction from the spirit that this side had built by carefully spreading divinity and mana. That too up close. Is it over there? And It was closer than I thought The moment I set foot in the ce where it is presumed that the upper and official deities of the orderly faction who retreated from the Western Front are gathered. The god of disagreement looks at the unknown existence and warns. [Thats it. ] A chilly voice came from somewhere. [Mimul bastard. dont move anymore If you show any more suspicious behavior, I will kill you immediately. Do you understand ] . [Tsk. Seeing that I cant even sense divinity or magical power anywhere I look, I think Ive hidden my power If you dont obey my words from now on, you will be torn to pieces. Got it. ] Its fun. It seems that one of the high-ranking deities belonging to the orderly camp is standing guard in the empty air somewhere You. Are you one of the higher deities belonging to the orderly camp? Then you wouldnt be so sensitive. Actually, I belong to the same orderly camp as you. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Suddenly, before this side could say anything, the other side fired a projectile made of divine power and acted as if they wouldnt even give a chance to talk. [ Gut! Are you saying something like that? The joke is too much. If you say anything nonsensical anymore, Ill shoot you in the head next time. ] No, I really belong to the orderly camp like you. [ dog sound. If he was a proud being who was confident in his own power, he would not be able to hide his divinity and magical power. Do you think youll believe what that bastard says? ] . Ah. [You pitiful bastard. Even if you are a deity belonging to the orderly camp, there is no need to listen to what the weakling says. Obey what I say. if you dont want to die. ] Is that why? Is it unconditional obedience to the strong Before I knew it, I smiled brightly as I stared at the ce where the high-ranking deity with that self-respecting tone seemed to be hiding. Thats good. Its nothing else The god of transcendence and death is interested in an unknown high-ranking deity . It seemed like they could build a warm, deep friendship (?) without even having to have useless conversations with higher-ranking deities. Chapter 430 430. The butterfly effect (2) Whoo-. A cold wind blew across the meadow. A spire that resembles the second hand of a clock. For some reason, the steeple that looks like the second hand of a clock lying in the middle of the meadow seems to bepletely separated from the real world. . In reality, there was nothing very different about it. The spire, which looked like an old clocks second hand, was a kind of temple created by a certain god, apart from its appearance. Even if the war of the gods is in full swing, no one can easily reach the clock-shaped spire. [ Whoop-. ] But [ noisy. ] It was strange. Hard-. The furnishings inside the spire, which looked like the second hand of a clock, all swayed violently as if they could not stand the wind blowing in the meadow. [ Oh, I cant even take a nap now because of how much they behave like unbridled colts. ] A gray-haired old man who saw it frowned and let out an annoyed yawn. [Where the hell are you making this noise? ] creak-squeak-. A gray-haired old man got down from his worn-out rocking chair and approached the window. By this point, he, too, was no longer in a position to take a nap in peace. Originally, there should be no influence at all where this spire looks like the second hand of a clock. Nevertheless, the fact that the shaking is transmitted so violently even to the inside of the spire of the second hand of the clock is something that makes you feel a sense of alienation. Chaah-. As it was, the gray-haired old man approached the window of the spire with the second hand of the clock, opened the curtains, and stared into the distance. Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu A green meteor shower was staining the ground. Divine supernatural powers and demonic energy that could be said to have reached an astounding level were pouring down, mixed in a green meteor shower that looked like ck magic. Well, to the gray-haired old man, those green meteor showers didnt seem to do much damage to the steeple that looked like a clocks second hand, but he clearly felt a sense of incongruity. [Hmm. How can it be so strange Its the power to go against the providence ] [I cant easily guess the unique concept engraved in the divinity itself, and I cant even guess who the hell is using that ck magic] Before I knew it, the white-haired old man was madly in a faraway ce . Looking at the baptism of falling green meteors, he said as if he was interested. [Even at first nce, that wonderful ck magic cannot be performed unless the demons and their henchmen are exceptional ] The green meteor shower seen outside the window stands at the apex of all demons. It is a power that can be demonstrated by demons who have demons or those like the 72 devils who are chosen by such demons. [However, it doesnt seem like a demon or an exceptional henchman apanied by a demon hase, and the divine supernatural power itself is so ominous that it contains a high-ranking concept that cannot be fathomed. ] However, to the white-haired old man, the green meteor shower, presumably due to ck magic, did not seem to have been used by a demon or one of the 72 demons. [If the supernatural ability of divinity itself is enough, even the level of divinity is truly bizarre, considering that a considerable number of high-ranking deities have unique concepts that are so threatening that they can be treated lightly. ] Not to mention, the supernormal ability of the divine being mixed in the green meteor shower that seems to be ck magic is also a rare high-level concept, not at a level that can be seen frommon high-ranking deities. [ Huh. ] And. [Im not surprised. ] That means one thing. [An ancient deity. How much more does that mean that there is an existence Bonno has never seen? It really doesnt make sense to me at all. ] In fact, the existence that built the green meteor shower using ck magic in a faraway ce is one of the ancient deities, although the identity is unknown. [I dont know if there would have been anything like this in the future possibilities Bonno saw, but something seems to have gone wrong. ] It was a very serious thing. [Somehow, since the past few days, the divinity and soul have suddenly been shaken, and even if you use the divine supernormal ability or divine power, the future foresight doesnt work very well. Its an extremely ominous sign. ] And. [Well, I dont think so] ordingly, the white-haired old man slowly moved his steps, and then looked out the window and spit out words. [ The timeline might have been twisted. ] The gray-haired old man prepared to leave the steeple that looked like a clock second hand, and took a dusty crystal staff and purple robe. [Perhaps even those of the Order camp who only do annoying propaganda will be able to find Bonno faster than we saw in thest foreknowledge. ] Jerk-jerk-. [In that case, Bonno should also prepare in his own way. ] The gray-haired old man walked slowly, brushing the dust off his crystal staff and purple robe. The god of timeughs bitterly at the thought of facing the oldest beings. ] god of time. Excluding the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, who are treated as out of the question among the ancient deities in this universe, it is said that he lived the longest. It was the moment when he decided to intervene faster than the original n in the war of the gods instead of continuing his seclusion in the temple of the steeple that looked like a clocks second hand. *** Commonly, everyone living in this world has at least one usible n. Kwakjijijijijijijijijik-! Is that why? Those who did not doubt that the usible n they had would work under any circumstances were full of confidence. Even more so, if it is not at the level of a formal deity or a pseudo-deity, but a being who has achieved the hierarchy of a higher deity, isnt it natural to show great confidence? Well, on a, even formal deities and pseudo-deities that are not high-ranking deities are universally evaluated as top-notch powers, so its unavoidable that a lot of strength is put on their shoulders. In this universe, other than the ancient gods, there are no worthy opponents for the higher gods, so it must be that they blindly believe in a more usible n. Cancer is at a level that I can understand. But If higher-ranking deities or official deities put a lot of strength on their shoulders anyway, wouldnt it be enough if I kindly help them rx? That is until it gets hit properly. Eujijijijijijijijikjik-! At some point, I was madly beating a lion-headed high-ranking deity in a wastnd that was like the end of the Western Front. The god of non-consensus reveals excessive fear to you! ] In the blink of an eye, I was building a deep camaraderie (?) with the God of Misunderstanding, a high-ranking deity, with a smile on my face with only pure physical strength. This is good. It was cool. Well, rather than wasting time on unnecessary conversations or persuasion, such a cool way to socialize is more efficient. Originally, this sides power was basically hidden so that it wouldnt spread anywhere, so Ive been ignored a lottely. Dududuk-. And I dont know if thats why, but it didnt feel bad in itself to subdue one of the upper deities, the god of disagreement, based on pure physical force. [Keugguggug!! please stop that!! I dared to offend a noble person!! please forgive me ] Well, from the perspective of the other side, this side doesnt seem to like the Moorim-style way of socializing that this side learned at the Moorim level What can I do? To be honest, I dont know. Kkwajieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-! Just like that, with my right hand tightly clenched, I hit the lion-like head of the god of mystery so that the sound of skull bones being crushed could be heard. [Keep it off!! Please save me! I was wrong! It was a mistake!! I will do my best not tomit such disrespect to a noble person again!! ] If youre only at the level of a high-ranking deity, you can make a few small mistakes like this. by the way You just have to make sure you dont do that next time. There was no remorse at all. Didnt this lion-headed God of Conspiracy in front of me also have an intention to kill him immediately, depending on what he did? At most, I thought that it should be called a miracle that this side stopped at the line of giving a lesson so lightly to the god of non-consent. Kwadeudeuk-. In an instant, my right arm was crushed by the lion-headed God of Mystery, and I sighed as I stared at him who copsed under the wastnd. stand up. [ . ] Dont be rude. You can regenerate as many arms as you can, right? If you wait any longer, I will really kill you next time [Hee hee! has risen! Lord of the great universe above! So dont kill me!! ] Is it thanks to the deep camaraderie (?) built up in such a short time? In the blink of an eye, the God of Comint quickly stood up while holding onto his right arm, where every bone was pulverized. And ordingly, I stared nkly at the lion-headed god of misunderstanding, then spat out words. The Western Front. There, it seems that the survivors of the top deities belonging to the orderly faction are gathered over there Guide them. [ Ha ha ha ha! Thats right! It is an honor to be able to guide myrades to the great Lord of the universe above!! ] Really? Then lets go somewhere. Its just that if you mess around in there one more time in any way, your head will be crushed next time. [ . ] Lets go. Somehow, the god of misunderstanding made his face look white as if he had tasted extreme fear, but apart from that, he had no intention of dying time, so he immediately moved on. Ku-gu-gu-gu-. No time was wasted. I just followed the path of the god of misunderstanding and moved slowly, but did that alone qualify me to enter some kind of hidden ce? As it was, as soon as this side moved a few steps along the god of misunderstanding, it was felt that the thin film of divinity had passed, and a forest full of dark shadows appeared. Entrance conditions satisfied. You have entered the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > Due to the Shadow Shield, the exclusive effect of the divine realm < Forest of Shadows >, all living things within the divine realm are divine. And Mana goes into stealth. And Thats absurd. Realized. I never thought he would have created a sacred realm at the end of the western front and hid there It seemed like he understood why the defeated soldiers belonging to the orderly camp who had retreated from the western front could not be found so easily. So was it? In fact, since it is hidden in the sacred realm specialized in stealth created by a higher deity, it is inevitable that it will be difficult toplete the search even with the ingenuity of this side. It really varies. I said so with a cold sneer as if I was pathetic. He must have never put up any real resistance on the Western Front, so theres no way to be positive about hiding so peacefully here. It is all the more so when you consider that the god of nonconsensuality even said nonsense about unconditional obedience to the words of a strong man, as if he was going to y a ranking game as soon as he saw him. Jerk-jerk-. From this sides point of view, it didnt seem like the high-ranking deities beyond the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > were normal. Is it over there? And The god of the ancestors is enraged as he thinks of a demon king. [This! Garbage!! Dare to dare! To make me suffer such humiliation and humiliation as the devil who was only chosen by the demon god!! I will kill you right now!! ] The God of Gulgongughs at the pitifulrade. [Huh. What the hell are you talking about? You, the like, would not have been able to even reach the feet of the chosen demon king. funny. If you want to fight that much, you can go alone. ] The god of the current moon mumbles with deep annoyance at the people standing in front of her. [Shut up. I dont intend to fight anything like that again. As long as demons start to intervene in the war of gods, there is no chance of winning. Im going to use the upper deity and the official deity that btedly retreated from the western front as bait to get out. ] Actually, there was no difference. [ tsk. There must be quite a few high-ranking and official deities left on the Western Front. Im going to throw those slow bursting garbage as bait and escape this ce and go into hiding. Its something that doesnt fit the bill. ] [ Heh. I had to tear and kill that trashy demon king. Still, I have no idea what to do. ok do as you say ] [ Reasonable. If even that demon started to intervene in the war of the gods, the bnce of power would have already copsed. Jobs that dont fit the bill are my specifications too. ] Everyone is showing anger, annoyance, and fear as if the reason to work as a member of the order camp in the war of the gods has disappeared. I was pathetic. Is that the right thing to say after being defeated by a demon king who was endowed with not so great power by a demon god on the western front right now? However, I was not too disappointed with the defeated soldiers who had fled from the Western Front. Its fortunate that I didnt expect anything from the high-level deities on the Western Front from the beginning. It was worth it. Its because I never expected anything in the first ce. At most, theres no way you can wish for anything from the defeated soldiers who ran away and hid here, confused by a demon king who appeared on the western front. God of Gulgong smiles as if he has a good idea. [Ah-. Even if its not, the god of disagreement says theres a worm out there iming to be a deity belonging to the orderly faction? Why dont you throw him as bait on the western front as well? ] But now, its just that I cant have any hope for the defeated soldiers who belonged to the order camp that fled from the western front. Chak-. The god of the current moon is looking at you with an interesting look. [ Ho-oh. I could never have imagined that the God of Compromise would bring bait to use for escape in such a timely manner. I mean, youre really lucky. Good luck.] Before I knew it, I looked at the three high-level deities standing in the middle of the forest of shadows, smiled and licked my lips. lucky? and. Yes, as you say, if you are lucky in your own way, you must be lucky. That means one thing. For me. was the jackpot. Chapter 431 431. Butterfly effect (3) Difort. Sometimes, in a situation overflowing with clumsiness and incongruity that goes againstmon sense and logic, I often feel the most unpleasant annoyance. It was no different from the god of the current moon, who was the suzerain of a and formed the hierarchy of divinity as a higher deity. . But. Throbbing-. It wasnt that I felt only difort and annoyance in the pure sense of incongruity. Before he knew it, the god of Hyeonwol realized that beyond the unknown sense of incongruity, there was anxiety and fear that could not be washed away. It is a situation where the whole body trembles even weakly, as if bing a prey after seeing a predator hiding in a bush. It was strange . Such a sense of incongruity is bound to be unfamiliar to a high-ranking deity, who is a being who has no inferiority in being called the suzerain of a. Wouldnt it be even more strange if you felt the fear and nervousness that seemed to have no causal effect beyond the unpleasantness and difort caused by that unknown sense of incongruity? somewhere is strange. At that moment, the god of the moon stared at a young man standing in the middle of the forest with a hard expression on his face. What the hell is that guy doing? It was strange. Originally selected as the gatekeeper of the sacred realm < Forest of Shadows >, the god of nonconformity contacted by divine authority said that there is a worm iming to be a deity belonging to the orderly camp. And ordingly, he would have said that he would bring that unknown deitypletely neutralized to this divine realm < Forest of Shadows >. Why is it that the higher god, the God of Misunderstanding, is drenched in fear instead of that mysterious guy? But Isnt it a look that goes againstmon sense and logic? For some reason, the God of Compromise, who had almost no ws in the divine hierarchy among the higher-ranking deities, looked immersed in a noticeable fear. Damn it Contradictory. A situation where the front and back do not match. I felt something out ofmon sense and logic. In fact, if you think about it rationally, I was suffering from displeasure, nervousness, and intrusiveness stemming from an unknown fear over nothing. I dont know why I feel like I have to run away from here right now. And ordingly, the beating of the heart increased even more, and the anxiety, nervousness, and annoyance in the unknown sense of incongruity, which seemed to prate the nervous system, were inted. Throbbing -. It grew at a faster rate every time the other high-ranking gods standing in the middle of the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > uttered words. The god of Gulgong frowns andughs at the unknown being. Thats funny. What did you just say? A bug that cant even proudly reveal the divine hierarchy Did you dare to joke? Its funny. ] Difort. The god of the ancestors reveals feelings of anger and contempt toward an unknown being. [Ha! Even at first nce, a guy who looks like he has barely reached the divine hierarchy of the official godhead, let alone a high-ranking godhead!! Did you want to die without knowing a single thing about me?! ] Difort. The god of non-agreement opens her lips while looking at her eyes so as not to offend any one being. How can you spit out such nonsense! What a shame! How can you not know! W The person standing here is not an insignificant thing, but a great cosmic species that has achieved a great divine hierarchy] Feeling of incongruity. What does it mean that the god of discord is stumped by that young man who doesnt seem to belong to a very strong axis among high-ranking or official deities at most? At this point, the god of Hyeonwol, unlike the god of Gulgong or the god of Seonchuk, was almost certain that this intense sense of incongruity he felt was not an illusion. I have to get out of here right now. It was awful. Somehow, I spit out the words that he was suitable for being used as a bait for that unknown young man Somehow, seeing that unknown young mans arrogance andposure all along, the strong mans unique atmosphere I didnt even dare to say such a thing any more. Is it the hierarchy of divinity? But that was for a while. Thats not wrong either. Suddenly hearing that, the unknown young man nodded and acted like he had a point. Its like being a superior who has heard someints from a subordinate. At this point, it is no longer possible to deny that the god of Hyeonwol is also a strange young man. He immediately followed his intuition and tried to escape from the sacred realm, but the other persons words continued before he could do that. Well, it seems that the sacred realm itself has a knack for hiding the signs of divinity and mana, so there is no need to hide the power so tightly anymore. and. Then you should let me know. next moment. The god of transcendence and death exudes the power of divinity with a cold smile. [I wonder who the hell is standing in front of you guys. ] gggggggggggggggggggggg! In the blink of an eye, the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > was shattered in an instant, and a level of divinity that was not strange was expressed. Eujijijijijijijijik-! [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ] [ Kkeuheu!! I cant breathe-. ] [ Ah ah ah!! My head! I feel like my head is going to split!! Whoop whoop!! ] In an instant, one of the three higher deities standing in the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > copses as if he can no longer stand. Jerk-jerk-. And all the unidentified men who watched the whole process looked down as if they were pitiful and said quietly. [I had to talk to each and every one of you about whether you knew a fraction or didnt know how to understand a subject.] Just by lightly exhaling the divinity that you possessed without going through any processing, you subdued the three higher godheads at once. A power that pushes the divine realm to the brink of destroying it because its not enough. [In the first ce, isnt it because you guys, like you, cant figure out a single part of yourself and talk like that in front of me? ] At this point, not only the god of Hyeonwol, who has a particrly good touch, but also the god of Gulgong and the god of Seonchuk, among the three top deities, have no choice but to notice who the unknown young man is. [ War of the Gods. Dont be annoyed by the topic of those defeated soldiers who fled to the Western Front. Do you want to kill me for nothing? ] Originally, in this universe, high-ranking deities are beings with enough power to be called the head of a. Not only mortals who do not have divinity, but even formal deities that have been dealt with by stably establishing the concept divinity itself are not inferior to higher deities. In fact, isnt there only one realm that can overwhelm those who have achieved the divine hierarchy of higher deity as if they were dealing with children this overwhelmingly? [I have dealt with the chosen demon king and the high-ranking deities of the chaos camp that appeared on the western front. ] Of course. [So] That means one thing. [You guys are under my control andmand from now on. ] That unidentified young man in front of me means that he has established a divine hierarchy that is different from the upper deity or formal deity. [Well, these are things I dont know, so Ill let you know who I am once again, so this time youd better listen carefully and memorize them. ] Thats also very huge. [God of transcendence and death. ] Its nothing else [Thats the name of an ancient deity that will bring victory to the side of order in this war of gods. ] It was Han Seong-yoon. *** In an instant, a peaceful silence fell over the hall. Before I knew it, I put on a rxed expression as I almost knocked out all the high-ranking deities gathered in the divine realm < Forest of Shadows >. Well, in the War of the Gods, I wanted to avoid the troublesome situation where one of the other ancient deities kept an eye on this side, so I had refrained from revealing divinity and mana, but this time there was no need for that. Im lucky. If I had to ask, would you say there was some unintended luck? It must have been endowed with a unique ability that partially conceals the signs of divinity and mana attached to the divine realm < Forest of Shadows >. Regardless of whether this side wants it or not, as long as they are here, the divine and mana are supposed to be hidden to some extent, so they can make a fuss without thinking about the aftermath. Well, even then, I refrained from using my holy spirit more violently because the holy realm itself would be destroyed. I had to adjust my strength a bit, but Im not reallyining. In any case, I was able to relieve a lot of my stress, so in the end, isnt good good? Not to mention, there were still a lot of things I could relieve my stress on, so I needed to deal with them quickly. Should I give you a mission? and. From the western front to the outlying zones, everyone couldnt have gone very far. In response, I trembled and looked at the prostrate deities of higher ranks and asked for help in a kind tone. Whether its a high-ranking deity or an official deity, dont leave out any of them and bring them all to me. [ yes? what that is! Lord of the great universe above! With our own strength, we cant easily subdue and bring over the upper and official deities] Dont hate it. Well, as much as there is ack of high-ranking and formal deities on the Western Front, youll have to make up for that much. efficiently. Thats all. [ . ] A loser. It was an order to retreat from the Western Front and bring back all of the high-ranking deities and official deities of the pro-order camp. In fact, if the other side said no, I had no intention of wasting time looking for fugitives, so it was my intention to get some benefit from them efficiently. What do you do? But [Uh that was just a sound Id done once! You are the great one!! I can find and bring back any number of shameless bastards who fled to the western front!! ] [ Ah ahaha! Please put your mind at ease and just leave it to me! All of us here are high-ranking gods in name, so we cant be intimidated by such a light mission, right? Not so! ] [ Hee hee!! Ill do it! I will definitely do it! Ill do it by any means! I will risk my life to capture them alive!! ] Did the other side also feel that I showed consideration of persuasion and dialogue with a very warm heart? Somehow, it seemed that he was motivated to pursue the pursuit properly, so it became a warm atmosphere for a long time. Originally, persuasion and conversation would have been possible only when the other person also had a heart that could feel consideration. Since this side effectively reminded them of how much consideration they were showing, the four high-ranking deities also responded to the consideration and pursued and searched for the defeated soldiers until their soles were set on fire. Suddenly. Is that why? [ hmm? Ive been told theres a hideout on the Western Front where you cant get caught by the Ancient Gods, but it doesnt seem that great. ] [ What do you mean? A hideout? One of the higher deities told me that this is a portal to the central frontline? ] [ Huh! What the hell are you both talking about! This is a priest who can send a request for protection to an ancient deity on the neutral side under the pretext of sacrifice! ] It was great. In less than a day, most of the high-ranking deities and official deities who fled from the Western Front gathered in the divine realm < Forest of Shadows >. At first nce, it seemed that all the senior and official deities who belonged to the orderly camp and were drafted to the Western Front had gathered, so I went forward with a big smile on my face. Tuk-tuk-. Of course, I did not forget to praise the hard work of those who brought the high-ranking deities and official deities to this sacred realm < Forest of Shadows >. Awesome. I never thought that most of the top and official deities who fled from the Western Front would gather so quickly. You did a great job bringing them all this far. [Hahaha. Say nothing. Rather, we are now going to return to the main camp of the order camp and go to help on the other fronts] Is there anything emotionally difficult these days? [ yes? Uh What do you mean] It hurts my heart when you suddenly beg me to kill you. [ . ] And just like that, I went forward and showed myself to the higher and official deities gathered in the forest, leaving behind the words to the four higher deities to continue working hard. Chak-. I want to thank the many high-ranking and formal deities who havee this far, but I also have onemand. Looking around the hundreds of high-ranking deities and official deities in front of you one by one, you talk directly. From now on, I will lead the deities belonging to the order camp on the western front and push it to the headquarters of the chaos camp. From the introduction to the main body to the conclusion, he used an extremely efficient speech method without wasting any time. Until then, please take care to ensure that there are no deserters again on the Western Front, and y an active role as a member of the good order camp. But was it worse than I thought to hear from the other side? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Suddenly, arge stone was shot to the side of where this side was standing, and the ground was overturned. The deity of division expresses anger and annoyance while squinting her eyes. [Ha! dont bullshit! A bastard who looks weak even at first sight!! How dare you act like youre the boss!! ] It was bloody. There seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction with this one. It seemed that the others were no different. [ Tsk! I came here because I heard that there is a hiding ce that even my ancient deity can hide from! Was I fooled by that idiot after all? ] [ Bastard!! You said there is a portal to the central front here!! Dare to dare! Did you trick me!! ] [ Damn it! These damn kids! I thought you said you could send a request for protection by offering a sacrifice to one of the Ancient Gods on the main neutral faction? Was that all a lie!! ] One, and that for a while. The deity of division raises the power of divinity and mana from the whole body. [Ha ha ha!! yes good!! And if you want to be the boss like a monkey, Ill join you! I will cut off your head and hang it on top of that tall tree!! Come on, this buggy bird] There is absolutely no need for persuasion or excuses. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. ! In the blink of an eye, I teleported with the authority Sunbo and killed the red muscr giant, the god of the block. Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against a high-level deity has brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.62%. Inherent attribute Necromancy mastery increased by 0.002%. Absorbs the spirit of Parthamram, the god of division. I did. There was not even a sign of revival. Aplishment Achievement of Horror Without Blood nor Tears has been achieved. Achievement of Execution of Horror Without Blood nor Tears has been achieved. It activates automatically. The reward level obtained from achievements increases from [B+ grade] to [A+ grade]. The skill Public Execution (A+) is created. Clearly. thats annoying. Perhaps they noticed that one of the higher deities had been torn to pieces with only the pure physical strength of this side, and there was no dissatisfaction and irritation, and only heavy silence fell in the hall. drip drip drip -. I hope you dont misunderstand the true meaning of what I said. At that, I swiped off the bright red blood on my right hand and spoke in an annoyed tone. Perhaps most of the people here dont understand spirit He said, revealing the unique confidence of a predator, like a hunter looking at prey caught in a trap. What I just said to you is not that I specifically ask for your understanding, I just unterally informed you. and. Can I exin it to you? next moment. Most of you. To him, I spokefortably without even mixing clumsy honorifics. They seem to think they have the choice I hadnt given them a choice from the start. If you dont risk your life to fight on the western front as I ordered, no one can get out of here alive. Originally, if submissiveness to the strong is an ideology deeply embedded in the heads of the upper and official deities, then the weak cannot have any rights. The skill Public Execution is strongly activated. The skill Public Execution spreads the Aura of Hell within a radius of 10 km and makes it easier to create a Negative Emotional State . There is only one choice and result. The god of transcendence and death is pleased to see the crowd trembling in fear. [All of you were captured by me.] Of course. Chapter 432 432. The Butterfly Effect (4) It was an unintended benefit. To be able to use hundreds of high-ranking and official deities like this with ease In fact, if I hadnt discovered this divine realm, < Forest of Shadows >, I wouldnt have been able tomand them. Fortunately, I found a ce that has an excellent knowledge of hiding divinity and magic even in the sacred realm. Indeed, in this War of the Gods, there are many ancient deities who can easily detect the signs of divinity and mana on a-by basis. In the War of the Gods, every time I send out my divinity and magical power as it is, the eyes of suspicion may increase. If you frequently expose your divinity and mana, the people around you will look at you that much. In this war of the gods, there is no need to give the ancient gods a chance to sense their divinity and mana. If you get attention from the dark god, demon god, or dragon god once, theres a good chance youll find yourself in an embarrassing unexpected situation . There was a simple method if you had to make a contribution that could be said to have contributed greatly to the victory of the orderly camp on the Western Front without revealing much of the power of divinity and mana this side had. Well, from now on, whether its the Western Front or the other fronts, I dont think theres anything I can do to directly use Divinity and Mana. Its not different Somehow, I got more effective workers than I thought. Chado Murder (赶). If I can handle hundreds of high-ranking deities and formal deities under mymand, I wont have to step in directly anymore. As long as its not my divinity and mana, shouldnt I just use the divinity and mana of another being who is no different from someone else? Kwahu family and science and fruits and science! like now. [ hot! Good good! Unlike before, the top deities of the Chaos camp have definitely decreased! Do not hesitate and move forward! Isnt the head of the universe also protecting us!! ] [ Gut!! Dont back down! If you retreat from here, everything will be destroyed! Whether its a divine ability or a special power, dont spare it and use it all! Thats how you can live!! ] [ Ugh-! Damn you!! Do you think I will die in a ce like this!! Oh, its divinity, its magic, Ill use it to the fullest and survive!! ] Western Front. It is one of the five most important frontlines in the War of the Gods and was almostpletely upied by the Chaos camp. However, unlike before, the Western Front was infested with high-ranking deities and formal deities belonging to the order camp, not to the chaos camp. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! Not even that. Originally, on the western front, the side of chaos should have almost overwhelmed the high-ranking deities and official deities belonging to the side of order. But now it wasnt. Hundreds of high-ranking deities and official deities belonging to the orderly faction were restoring the territory by pouring out divinity and mana. Its going smoothly. In response, I watched the series of great battles from the outskirts near the rear of the Western Front and then smiled. Hahaha, since he killed so many deities in the camp of chaos as well as the chosen demon king sent by the demon god, is it that the allies have no choice but to have an advantage? Well, in the first ce, when this side defeated a male demon who imed to be the chosen demon lord, who was no different from the chaos camps hidden card on the western front, there was no choice but to be like this. The number of guys who run away from the Western Front or dont fight properly and try to get out of it is rarer than I thought. However, it was strange that there were few rebellious elements who were willing to fight on the Western Front or to leave the Western Front itself more than this side had predicted. Could it be because of the new skill obtained as an achievement reward this time? Of course, I guessed why. Skill C Public Execution (A+) Proficiency C 1.7% Basic Effect C When executing publicly in front of many creatures, Hells energy is scattered around, and regardless of divinity or magical power, fear is inflicted on the creature and domination status be easier. Detailed Effects C When an overwhelmingly strong person is publicly executed in front of many living creatures, the number of public executions umtes, and every time 10 is achieved, one of all stats is randomly increased by +2.] Perhaps the skill Public Execution (A+) obtained as a reward for achieving this achievement gave courage (?) to the deities on the Western Front It looks like he got a skill worth doing. It was fun. Just by killing someone openly in front of many living beings, you can demonstrate a power close to mental contamination based on the debuff called hell energy Considering that it also applies to them, it was a power of great value. Its not enough to make it easier to handle higher-ranking deities or official deities, and the amount of additional stat increase is also significant. I also liked the fact that one of all stats is randomly increased by +2, even though its all about killing high-ranking or official deities in front of a crowd. The skill Public Execution is strongly activated. The skill Public Execution spreads the Aura of Hell within a radius of 10km and makes it easier to create a Negative Emotional State . But Shinhwa < Nemesis of Everything > is activated. From now on, Challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < Nim Enemy > . It has a great interference with the power of. Beings without will cannot resist your holy power. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons divine operation will have the effect of < Chaos >. When < Chaos > is activated, the enemys negative emotions are extracted as faith. The greater the enemys negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction. Thats not all. [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ] [ Damn it! The losers who would have just run away without looking back! How could they counterattack this far in such a short amount of time!! ] [ Retreat Retreat! Even in the main camp, they informed the Western Front that they could not hire a high-level deity, and cut off their tails in public!! If I stay here any longer, Ill just die like a dog!! ] In an instant, all the enemies retreated without even attempting a proper interception against the high-ranking deities and official deities that this side brought to the Western Front. Tsutsutsu! And, ordingly, additional gains could be made from the numerous higher and formal deities retreating from the Western Front. nice. Before I knew it, the skill Public Execution was activated on the Western Front, and at the same time Aura of Hell spread, I gained a lot of faith as the mythical < Enemy of Everything >. In the war of the gods, no matter what you do, nothing is useless. Since it was a faith extracted from close to hundreds of high-ranking and official deities, it had a value different from the faith sent by mortals. Arent the deities who are participating in the war of the gods giving out rewards and benefits as generously as the Murim people in the Murim dimension? Incredibly. Not just this time, but in the future, if I can get divinity and faith like now in the war of the gods, I might be able to get another one soon. At this point, wouldnt it be possible to say that its not two birds with one stone, but a swan with one stone? Im curious. Perhaps, under the assumption that he was lucky, if some time passed in the war of the gods, he would be able to acquire new powers this time. If you have umted so much legends and beliefs in your body, what can you achieve? Its nothing else It would be nice if the new myth of transcendence was a more interesting power. Thats huge too. *** In an instant, he increased the upied territory by defeating the remnants of the chaotic camp on the western front. Anyway, it wasnt that difficult because this side killed a lot of deities belonging to the chaotic camp. Not to mention, there was no resistance from the other side as well, probably because they judged that there would be no benefit to be gained by injecting arge amount of high-level deities or formal deities on the Western Front. Kwajiik-! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against a high-ranking deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.59%. Inherent attribute Necromancy mastery increased by 0.002%. Absorbed the spirit of Decd, the god of waves . End. Having killed one of the upper deities with my bare hands, I brushed off the blood on my hands and spat out a shortment. Are you no longer seeing high-ranking deities on the Western Front? At some point, on the western front, there were about 10 or so high-ranking deities in the chaotic camp. hmm. Why? Its strange. At this point, it is not easy to guess why the chaotic camp did not put more high-ranking deities and formal deities on the Western Front. In the War of the Gods, the Western Front is called one of the five fronts in its own way, and I think I heard that it is of great value as an upied area Its strange. No matter how much the other side realized that consuming more of the upper and official divinities would be a loss, wouldnt it be strangelycking in resistance? It was awful. Somehow, while climbing the tower of trials and crossing the crossroads between life and death, the senses that were trained showed a sense of discord, as if some kind of survival instinct was exercised. As I frowned at him and gave him a curious expression of concern, I heard the voice of a dying divinity not far away. The god of fortune and ironughs at you. ..] A high-ranking deity spewed out a curse-like story as hey on the ground on the Western Front, bleeding to death. [Hypocrites of the disgusting order camp. None of you will be able to survive here. Let me assure you that that fact will never change. ] One, and that for a while. Dont talk nonsense. Quazik-! [knock-!! ] In response, without hesitation, I punched the god of luck and iron, who was splitting the threads unluckily, and replied coldly. Even if you say it like a curse like that, unless you use divine abilities or special abilities, it will only irritate you at best. Well, to this side, the words spoken by that god of luck and iron were nothing more than random chatter to intimidate. As long as one of the ancient deities doesnt appear on the western front, no one can survive. But [Hehehehahaha! Hehehehe ck! What did you say? An ancient deity? Oh, how can you say such clever words! ] Suddenly, as if he had heard a very interesting story, the god of luck and iron spat out words full ofughter. [ ha ha ha! Try struggling with that proud word! You hypocrite! It wont be long before we meet again in the afterlife! Ill let you prophesy ] Of course, you dont have to listen to those useless curse words until the end. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against a high-ranking deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.59%. Inherent attribute Necromancy mastery increased by 0.002%. Absorbed the spirit of Hater, the god of meteorites. . It is absurd. Isnt it? Ancient deities I let out a mockingugh at him with a smile on my lips. Theres no way an ancient godlike entity will suddenly appear on the western front, right? All of the ancient deities called the rulers of this universe are fighting a war of nerves, so they dont reveal themselves easily. Even if an ancient deity appears, it doesnt matter if its not a god of darkness, a demon god, or a dragon god. Contrary to what the other side said, realistically, it seemed that there was little chance of an ancient deity appearing on the Western Front. no. Is that all? Its rather a good thing. Even if it wasnt, it wasnt too bad. If you defeat one of the ancient deities in the War of the Gods, you will be able to extort not only the concept divinity but also the divine power as a reward for clearing the trial. In the first ce, this side had already seeded in climbing the Tower of Trials and killing one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. If you have to ask, isnt it lucky for me? In fact, most of the ancient deities could be killed without much difficulty in a 1:1 match-up, provided that this side was properly engaged in the fight. Well, no matter what, theres no way an ancient deity will appear on the western front, so its a meaningless idea But . Poof! It was then. In the blink of an eye, I stopped licking my lips, stood there with my eyes wide open, then turned my head wildly. No sign of divinity or mana was detected, but more fundamentally, something that stimted the survival instinct of the whole body was felt beyond. What the heck is this And next moment. I finally saw it. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! A miracle that twists providence. In the sky of the Western Front, some kind of brilliant divine light descends to the ground. The overwhelming divinity, whose depth cannot even be measured, as if it contained the universe itself, even descends as if crushing the entire space. is this a joke? I knew who the being that appeared there was. And because of that, I felt a great fear. Its not different-. Ill be thrilled. Because the master who controls the light and the power of this overwhelming divinity over there was the same as the absolute. The dragon god activates the special divine authority incarnation and appears on the western front. It was one of the most powerful beings in this universe, and it was an absolute force that even I now cannot win. Chapter 433 433. Butterfly effect (5) Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! The overwhelming divine light from the sky fell in a straight line to the ground, exuding a tremendous presence. Even if there are strong people called ancient gods in this universe, there wont be many beings who can scatter divine powers to that level. Even if it wasnt a system message that appeared in front of my eyes, I already noticed what kind of existence it was. The dragon god activates the special divine authority incarnation and appears on the western front . . Dragon god. Even among the rulers of this universe, who have transformed themselves into divinity and concept itself and reached immortality in the hierarchy of divinity, she was regarded as a being with the power to change the way. After all, the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God are all beings that are no different from the history of the living universe, even among ancient gods. This is what the hell He sobbed as he watched a sandstorm take ce on the western front, where the gods fought and turned into a desert by an overwhelming divine force. What the hell happened? It is a power beyondmon sense. Originally, the high-ranking deities and formal deities that this side saw had to use incarnations and exert only much weaker power than the main body when appearing somewhere. Even more so, even after bing an ancient deity called the head of the universe, unlike the main body, the incarnated body would only be able to handle power below a certain level. What is this again But Is it possible for an incarnation made up of a portion of the dragon gods power to scatter such a powerful presence? So what is that? Hard! Its just that the overwhelming divine light builds an incarnation that resembles the dragon gods main body , but to be able to scatter such a tremendous presence and awe Doesnt it mean that the incarnation of the dragon god that has appeared surpasses the power of most ancient gods? Something is definitely wrong. In an instant, reason and instinct derived the same answer. In the original history, it is unlikely that the dragon god suddenly appeared on the western front during the war of the gods. In fact, it was felt that a change had urred in many ways from the original history in the fact that the dragon god was about to appear as an incarnation on the western front. If I didnt exist in this war of the gods like now, at the time the gods of darkness, demons, or dragon gods participated, the orderly camp would have been defeated without even resisting. At most, there is no way that a god of creation, a god ofw, or a god of miracles could endure such a catastrophe. Perhaps the reason why the dragon god appeared on the western front right now is because of me, not somewhere else. Not even that. I cant even guess why and for what reason the Dragon God suddenly appeared on the Western Front. At first nce, there is no reason why a dragon god should appear on the western front with an incarnation. Damn it It was hard to guess where and how the twist in the story, which was different from the original history, began. ?In the first ce, since each of those ancient deities is a monster that has carved its own divinity and concept into the universe, wouldnt it be unaware that it is itself a fake? Is that why? C Do you really not notice anything until the very end that this fake world created by the Tower of Trials is a cage made just for you? Suddenly, I remembered the story Dam Chun-wu told me. C As time goes by, even a trivial action like the pping of a butterflys wings can change more than you think. the butterfly effect. DWhether that would be good for you or bad for you, I cant say anything. From the stage created by the Tower of Trials to the ancient deities, everything might have been twisted at the point where it was perfectly reproduced. DThe only thing I can say is that if the Tower of Trials did something like this to you, there would surely be hardships and hardships corresponding to it. Somehow, now, for some reason, I could feel the realization that Dam Chun-wu had said that so slowly. DThat is the principle of the Tower of Trials. From the beginning, this was just a game and a gamble with the life of high risk, high return, neither luck nor misfortune. Damn it. It was confusing. How many of the fake ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials caused such an ident, and how far did they diverge from the original history? Now, everything that will happen in the future is no different from the dice that have fallen from the grip of chaos beyond the scope of prediction and control. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! But nheless, seeing the divine light piercing down in the middle of the western front, it was possible to be certain of one thing. Not only the high-ranking deities and official deities on the western front, but even I could die if I made a mistake. death. Even when fighting the god of birth, one of the ancient deities, the crisis of death without a hint of hope, which was not felt so greatly, is approaching so close that it can be touched with the skin. Well, if you think about it withmon sense, this side became an ancient deity and achieved conceptual immortality, so it was certain that there would be no death in any case, but the ominousness did not disappear. Even bing immortal by transforming into the concept of divinity itself doesnt mean you have perfect immortality. In the first ce, there was no possibility that this side would die. For example, if the dragon god has any power that can kill or destroy even an ancient deity, I could die right here without doing anything. The choice was one of two. Currently, there are quite a lot of high-ranking and official deities that I brought with me on the western front. Either use the high-ranking deities and official deities that this side brought as bait to run away, or go to the middle of the western front and make some sort of negotiation. and then. under. The moment I felt that out of the two options, my heart leaned heavily towards wanting to run away from the dragon god. Youre going to run away? Kwaaaak-. Dont talk bullshit. As I watched the divine light pierce the Western Front, I bit my lips hard enough to bleed and felt uncontroble rage. okay. Dark gods, demons, and dragon gods are real monsters. Even if they are ancient deities, only they have the level of power that is different from the Ark. Even if it was just for a moment, I felt annoyance and uncontroble anger that I had the desire to run away on my own. So Isnt that right? whatever? you want to run away How long do we have to repeat that n for the future in front of the strong? And how strong can you be if you foretell the possibility of victory and defeat without doing anything just because you feel the danger of death several times while climbing the tower of trials? Unlike the time in the Tower of Trials when he did not even know his own aspirations and just wished to advance, he now has what he wants. I didnt even know that from the beginning. transcendent. What one wants for oneself is to be reborn as a transcendent being who cannot be approached not only by high-ranking deities or official deities, but also by ancient deities. And as a result, it is necessary to dramatically increase the power that this side has, so it is natural to take that much risk in order to gain overwhelming power. I wont run away anymore. Not to mention, if even the Tower of Trials or most of the ancient gods couldnt easily ignore the power this side possessed, it would be absurd to run away without even thinking about challenging the Dragon God here. It wasnt even worth worrying about. Even if the Dragon God on the other side could harbor murderous intentions towards us for whatever reason, nothing would change. As it was, I saw that the divine light was slowly fading in the center of the Western Front, and I continued my steps. Shall we go? and. Jijijijijijijijik! The moment when the spaces of the world collide with one another through the ck magic that this side used, forming a single movement passage. Weing Vortex In the blink of an eye, the magical whirlpool made of ck magic swallowed me like it was opening its mouth and led me to a faraway space. *** In an instant, by means of the ck magic [Tending Vortex], he was transported to the middle of the Western Front beyond space and space. Chak-. This far. In fact, it was impossible to approach it with ck magic because of the overwhelming divine light that the dragon gods incarnation descended and scattered from beyond this point. DYou is that why? -Are you serious? Suddenly, the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword vibrated, and before long, Damcheonwus voice filled with fear and anxiety was heard in his ears. -You really want to go there? Dam Chun-wus voice contained heavy emotions, as if he was tearing down a person who was walking on his own limbs. DDont go. And then, in the end, you will die. without achieving either of them. He spat out the words as if he were miserable. DYou guys have already thought about it at least once, havent you? He seemed to be scolding him for why he was trying to go into the depths alone instead of escaping from the western front. DEven if the ancient deity is immortal, if it is sealed separately from him or if the concept divinity itself is incapacitated, its not like you wont die. It wasnt something I couldnt understand. DPerhaps it can meet an absurdly terrible ending that cannot even bepared with the death of ordinary mortals. Know. DStill, did you mean to go there? In fact, as Dam Chun-wu said, if I fought and lost without even having a chance to talk orpromise with the dragon god, there was a high possibility that I would be permanently sealed. DHow can you pretend not to know that this universe could end up being sealed until it disappears, dead, or worse than that? Not even that. If thats the case in this war of the gods, youll be defeated with nothing more to do and youll have to be locked up until the ordeal ends in failure. As long as the penalty for failing to clear the ordeal is set to death in the system of the Tower of Trials, it is impossible to say with certainty that even the concept of immortality this side has will not be broken. Its like the worst ending But Thats a very interesting sound. What does that mean? Worst? Before I knew it, I answered with a cold voice while holding the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword tightly. Wouldnt it be the worst ending to die without ever bing a transcendentalist while quietly withdrawing from this ce? Jerk-jerk-. I would have said it in the pantheon. I wont let anyone stand on top of me anymore. I didnt say that to bluff. It was worth it. Originally, what this side wanted was not to be an ancient deity through the divine hierarchy, but to reach the level of a transcendental being beyond that. Even more so, if you think about it, isnt it actually that strange that I had to risk my life? From the day I started climbing the Tower of Trials until now, there has never been a time when it was okay not to risk my life. In fact, since the Tower of Trials chose me and gave me the supernormal ability called necromancy, I have been fighting for my life over and over again. I have no intention of stopping here. In the Tower of Trials, he did not avoid so many battles and faced them from the front, so he was able to be strong up to this point. Even if my death awaits me there, if I have to go, I will go. So Absolutely. If thats what we have to do, even if its a life-and-death fight with the Dragon God, it doesnt change the fact that we have to go. DCrazy bastard Well, maybe it was because he climbed the tower of ordeal to some extent and came to terms with me, Dam Chun-wu didnt say anything anymore. -Anyway, Im not crazy. After saying that, he made the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword tremble once and then proceeded to do as he pleased. -her. do whatever you want. Anyway, have you ever listened to what I said? Run wild wherever you want. like you hmm. Even if you dont say so, thats what I meant in the first ce Maybe we dont have to fight that big. DWhat is that you dont have to fight? If the dragon god even sent an incarnation to this western front, a fierce battle would unfold, risking life and death. Isnt that the story of when I didnt exin my situation to the Dragon God? I replied to him with a smile as if I was on the verge of death. I know the Dragon God because I met him a few times. Shes not that belligerent. Rather, was it not cheerful and moderate outwardly? More so than other ancient deities. -hmm. Yeah,e to think of it, I had to treat you with a single, single smile. However, there is no way that the dragon god is the same as the dragon god reproduced in the war of the gods. What were you thinking about doing that? I will convince you. In fact, isnt it a story that will only be established when I assume the worst case that I will fight with my life. Well, unlike the other ancient deities, the dragon god isnt so warlike and doesnt speak well. The Dragon God, who had met for the first time in the past at the Tower of Trials and formed a deep rtionship, should have always favored this side and showed optimistic cheerfulness. Perhaps if we can find apromise where we can both stop fighting here to some extent, the dragon god wont try to fight too hard with me. In short, fighting the Dragon God was something that would happen in the end. Perhaps the incarnation of the Dragon God that appeared on the Western Front could be passed over at least once if you tried persuasion andpromise through repeated conversations. To this side, her cheerfulness and sanity were something that even that exhrating Demon God couldntpare to. Yongsin. Shes not that bad. Rather, he is like a benefactor who has given me a lot. But Theres no way that good-natured Dragon God would stop by to kill me without questioning and answering It was then. [] Before the system message could appear in front of my eyes, something deep blue thunder fell from the sky and exploded beyond my vision. ! Divine < Thunder Rain > is activated, and a rain of thunder shoots out, causing permanent damage to the concept of divinity. Supersonic speed. The moment when you are sure that the conceptual divinities within your body will be destroyed just by being touched by the raindrops of thunder made up of the supernatural ability of that divinity. In fact, even some of the ancient deities, let alone quite a few high-ranking deities, couldnt react. In reality, a thunderstorm that was so fast that it was close to sub-light speed drew a line and brushed the side of the head. . Even the sound echoes veryte. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! He had only managed to evade it by using all the overwhelming stats he had umted through necromancy and numerous skills and powers. ah? Doesnt that mean that if this side reacted even one stepter, they would have been hit directly by the thunder that destroyed the concept of divinity, and would have suffered permanent divinity damage even if it wasnt death. What is this And then. A preemptive strike? On the western front, there is probably only one entity capable of pushing me, one of the ancient deities, to this extent. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh-!! Chak-. In response, I looked at the being that hadnded from the sky to the earth in a short period of time andpleted a tremendous divine hierarchy. . A silver-haired girl with two horns like a mythical dragon growing on her forehead, which somehow gave off a very familiar atmosphere, was looking at me while lightly descending from the air. What the hell is this That means one thing. The Dragon God stares at you with eyes mixed with cold anger. [ you. disrespectful From a while ago until now, why did you run here while ncing at me from afar? feel bad ] It was simple. [ dont make a pitiful face that makes you want to pretend you know it annoyedly anymore, just get out of the way. ] That Dragon God in front of you is the owner of a disposition that is different from the Dragon God you know. [ Im tired. ] The arrogance and boredom unique to any absolute that stems from the purely overwhelming divinity and the resulting power flow out to an extent that cannot be concealed. [ I dont really want to have any interest or interest in trivial, boring, weak things like you guys. ] Thats not all. [ Ill give you 10 seconds. Move. And dont ever appear in front of me again. dont even look dont even be conscious Then Ill give you a chance to live. ] She looked this way and continued in a tone of contempt and annoyance, as if she had seen some nasty insect flying. [But instead, if you dont listen to me and get out of there after 10 seconds, Ill pay the price I deserve. ] A reaction that is no different from a person who sometimes frowns when he sees insects like ants entangled on the street, or does not want to be interested or concerned. [Insignificant short-lived species.] Realized. ah-. Persuasion orpromise it was nonsense. In fact, unlike the Dragon Gods of the outer world I know, he is so authoritative and arrogant that he is not even a conversation partner. At the point I noticed that, I had a vague realization that the worst-case scenario would unfold in the center of this Western Front. The scenario that I thought was the worst from the beginning ising true It was simple. Originally, the Dragon God was one of the three ancient deities who were called the lords of this universe and who were said to have no opponents. At this moment, I was destined to survive and win against the real monster with overwhelming power among the ancient gods. Damn it Damn it. Chapter 434 434. Before the storm (1) The end of the universe. Although it ismonly used to refer to an ancient deity who possesses immortality of concept and strength that is different from a high-level deity or official deity Shouldnt I say that there are only the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God? Damn it And then. Its the worst. Isnt that silver-haired girl with two gorgeous dragon horns in front of her the dragon god incarnate? Oh oh oh oh oh oh-! In a word, this side meant that we had to defeat the incarnation of the real exhaust monster with the strongest power in the universe right now. Is there no room for persuasion or negotiation? It was serious. Well, isnt the Dragon God we know a one-sided favor and favor that isparable to that of the Dark God? Even if what was reproduced in this War of the Gods was only a replica of the Dragon God, he believed that his optimistic temperament and gentleness, which did not seem to be harmful, would not change much. ? I dont really want to have any interest or interest in trivial, uninteresting, and weak things like you guys. -Ill give you 10 seconds. Move. And dont ever appear in front of me again. dont even look dont even be conscious Then Ill give you my life C but instead, if you dont listen to me after 10 seconds and get out of there, youll pay the price you deserve. But -A trivial, short-lived species. It wasnt. Short-lived species Originally, the Dragon God I saw would not have been sarcastic in such a direct way, or venting out anger and annoyance to show contempt. Is this the Dragon God? However, for whatever reason, it seemed certain that the Dragon God of the past, which was reproduced in the War of the Gods, had an entric temperament different from the current Dragon God. Its at a level where there is no resemnce to the Dragon God Ive seen so far. As soon as he suddenly saw this side, not only did he try to kill him by using the divine < Thunder Rain >, but he acted as if he couldnt forgive him because he felt bad about looking at him. But despite that, I didnt act like I was going to kill myself. However Then-. Even if the Dragon God of the past created by the Tower of Trials is different from what he thought, it does not mean that the story itself cannot be established. Depending on what I do, I might be able to create room for persuasion andpromise once again. In other words, if this side can fulfill the wishes of the Dragon God, it can prevent the Western Front from copsing. I have a suggestion for you. At that, I forced a smile and spat out the words, not yielding to the bloody divine energy emitted by the Dragon God. Dragon god. Tell us about your purpose and why you came this far. If I can align our interests, there is no need to fight. Originally, rather than fighting the dragon god, I was nning to have a conversation with him at least once and go through persuasion andpromise. The dragon god hears you and looks at you with his eyes narrowed. [Huh. Are you going to align your interests? you? To be arrogant. There wont be anything like that. ] However, despite this, the dragon god answered coldly. [There is not even a single being anywhere in this universe that can make my wishe true as it is. ] Its like hes scolding you for being arrogant now, as if youre asking him to realize how absurd his words are. [Thats it. boring and not funny You guys always care about nothing but divinity and faith. Even though you act like that, youre so weak that you cant evenpare to me. ] Im not like that. Even if you dont have divinity and faith, you can trade if you want something. I would like you to know that. [ no. Even if it is, the moment when you and my interests coincide will note. So get out of the way dont be annoying ] . The dragon god showed a cold expression and said as if he was trivial. [The reason I came all this way in the first ce wasnt even with the idea of joining the war game between the chaos camp and the order camp. ] She continued with her two golden oval eyes shing, just as dragons usually resemble the oval eyes of reptiles. [I just came here because I didnt like this boring, boring, silly war game, and I got a chance to not have to stay here anymore. ] And. [Ancient deity. Unlike boring and uninteresting things like you guys, there were some interesting things moving around. Whatever you talk about with me doesnt mean anything. ] next moment. [ War of the Gods. Im not the only one whos annoyed by this silly war game. In what you call the northern front, the eastern front, and the southern front, ancient deities of the same level as me have gone. ] I couldnt help but be amazed at the story the dragon god spewed with my eyes wide open. [Dont get your hopes up. The Dark God on the Northern Front, the Demon God on the Eastern Front, and the God of Time on the Southern Front. All of the ancient deities with a divine hierarchy simr to mine went there. ] Yeah [You know what this means? Is it the chaos camp or the order camp? Im sure hell sweep them all away without even distinguishing between them. no one will survive ] If what the other side said is true, it must be a very big event in the war of the gods. Its not just this Western Front, but the Northern Front, Eastern Front, and Southern Front, those ancient deities appeared simultaneously? Isnt it a story that gives shock and fear to the question of whether this war of gods can be properly established anymore? This is It was a disaster. In fact, everything was over at the point where the God of Darkness, Demon God, and Dragon God, who were revered as real monsters even among ancient gods, moved. Even more so, if an unidentified ancient deity called the god of time participated in the battle, neither the chaos camp nor the order camp would be able to survive. no. Maybe the Confusion camp can survive. The reason why these wars of the gods were established in the first ce is because of the order camp in essence. Damn it. Not even that. In the worst case that this side thinks, the ancient deities with the power to change the arc could cooperate with the chaos camp. Well, if you just dont like being trapped in this war of the gods, then you just have to get rid of all the ancient deities of the orderly camp that created the divine confrontation system that cant escape from the outside. [ Western Front. Its no different here. Well, Ive never seen you anywhere, but you seem to be one of the ancient deities, so Ill spare you, but the others are a different story. i will kill them all ] Jerk-jeok-. [ you. An ancient deity, right? Besides, from the outside, it looks like ites from a pure human lineage, which is the weakest among short-lived species. Quite right. Even with my divinity and magic, I cant really read your power. ] Even though they both became ancient gods and achieved the same level of divinity, it is difficult to measure the divine energy felt in the dragon gods incarnation. [Well, it happened that the 10 seconds I said I would wait have gone way past, but even now, if you dont waste any more time and just walk away, Ill look after you. ] Its just that the Dragon God didnt recognize it properly because he used all sorts of means to hide his divinity and mana. Even if this side uses the power it has, it is not certain that it will be able to win the incarnation of the dragon god in front of them. Unlike ordinary gods, the dragon god can bestow more than half of the strength of the main body, even the incarnated body. Of course, since the dragon god also appeared on the western front as an incarnation, his divinity and mana were weakened to some extent. However, even with that said, I cant be so sure that Ill be able to defeat the incarnation of the Dragon God. However, even that was at a level different from the deity of birth that we foughtst time, so tension and anxiety seemed to overflow. Actually, the only condition to clear the trials given to me by the Tower of Trials is to survive until the War of the Gods is over, so theres no need to fight the Dragon God. Know. As the dragon god incarnate in front of me said, if I quietly get out of here, nothing will happen until the war of the gods is over. However, if that happens, it will bepletely unknown what kind of history originally flowed in these wars of the gods. The dragon god feels frustrated that you are standing there quietly in thought. stuffy!! you. Why are you standing so still? Its not even something to worry about! ] And then, for what reason the Tower of Trials obtained divine < Creation >, divine < Laws >, and divine < Miracle >, it would bepletely unknown. [ dont worry! After all, a kid like you wouldnt touch even ancient deities like the god of darkness or the god of time who drank. So hurry up and get out of there] I dont like it. [ what? ] I said I didnt want to get out of the way. Well, I still have important things to do here. We cannot let the War of the Gods end like that. [ . ] Thats it. Then, isnt there a certain thing that this side has to do? Its not me who should stay here longer or step away from the idea of doing anything. Among the ancient deities, the Dragon God is one of the beings that are out of standard and feared, but isnt it just an incarnation that this one puts in front of you? So Even if he is a strong man who is different from the ancient deity, such as the god of birth, if that is not the main body of the dragon god, but an incarnation, there is no possibility of victory. Ill give you 10 seconds. [ . ] Until then Ill have to get out of my way. [You] Is that why? So, so, so, so, so, so, so! The dragon god feels great anger toward you. [Are you serious? ] In the blink of an eye, I felt my skin tingle from the overwhelming light of divinity bursting out of the Dragon Gods body, but I did not back down. [ under. Arrogant and disrespectful. Even that is not enough, so now you even reveal stupidity. Ill promise. Ill make you regret bing an ancient deity and immortal. Even death will make you feel merciful. ] There is no way he could be a transcendental being if he was frightened by an incarnated body that was not even the main body of the Dragon God. Is that so. There is no victory or defeat if there is nopetition. Then I also have one thing to tell you, Dragon God. In response, I grasped the hilts of the two swords, disying a look of thrill and anticipation in the midst of the dragon gods overwhelming divinity and murderous intent. chin-. You looked at me earlier and called me an insignificant, short-lived species, then you would have said that I was one of those insignificant and boring things. In the midst of the overwhelming fear and anxiety that almost engulfed my whole body, I smiled as I felt the thrill and chills. I will show you that I am wrong. He was always favored by Yongshin, and whenever he received something unterally, he conveyed his thoughts to her. Even if I be stronger than anyone else in this universe, I will never forget the countless blessings you have given me. Its just a fake created by the Tower of Trials, so it cant be passed on to the real person, but even so, the thoughts and feelings held deep in your heart wont change. I promise you. and. The god of transcendence and death thoroughly hides divinity and magical energy all at once and releases them. Even if there is no existence in this universe that can make your wishe true, someday I will show you the answer you long for. I will.] The next moment. ! The battle with no guarantee of victory began with an overwhelming explosion of divinity. Chapter 435 435. Before the Storm (2) In an instant, divine starlight explodes. Originally, the power skill Starlight that I possess is a replica, not an original one, and is actually a power created by one of the ancient deities, the Dragon God. The Divine Starlight this side had became a Power Skill thanks to the Divine < Transcendence >, but even so, it was essentially unable to surpass the original user of the Holy Light. ! The world is bathed in the divine starlight. However, if the raw material is the divine power of the ancient deity called the head of the universe, the divine starlight shows unbelievable destructive power. It wouldnt be strange if a mere high-level deity or formal deity would instantly turn to dust and die the instant it touched the starlight of that divinity. Because of the divine starlight, I cant even confirm where the recement Dragon God is. Not even that. Sight, as well as the sensing ability that can be used based on divinity and mana, do not work in front of the overwhelming divine starlight. In a nutshell, this meant that this side had to block the starlight of that divinity and at the same time deal perfectly with where the Dragon God would appear next. That divine starlight is a wide-area attack that was designed to be impossible to avoid in the first ce, and even if it seeds in blocking it, there is a high chance that it will be attacked right after. Shuk-. Then I should let that divine starlight flow, not avoid or block it. In response, I activated the power of a unique skill in the divine starlight that came from all directions while holding the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword. Inherent skill Drain is strongly activated. Limited to the first blow, it provides an absolute counter. unique skill. The power that the Tower of Trials gives to the challenger who clears the first ordeal for the first andst time is copied in the form of a skill using necromancy. The unique skill shedding obtained from a 300-year-old nog of a shaman in Moorim, which was created by the Tower of Trials in the past, makes it possible to shed even the power that can never be shed. Catch up, y, y, y ! The divine starlight collided with the des of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Wave Heaven Sword, and was deflected to the side with the action of force. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! however. Thats not the end. Inherent skill Leave can use absolute counter only for the first blow in each battle. And ordingly, by the unique skill shedding, the divine starlight automaticallyunched a counterattack that deviated frommon sense at the moment it missed to the side. ! Is that why? [ under. ] As the starlight of the divinity that had been spreading all over the ce faded, the voice of a divinity could be heard. widely-. The dragon god appeared, lightly removing the dust scattered everywhere with a gesture of his hand, and spat out words with a surprised look on his face. [ Divine abilities? Or some power or myth? you. How did you send the holy light back to me? How is that possible? ] Perhaps this sides unique skill Shedding is the power of the system that only the Tower of Trials and Awakeners on Earth have, so I dont think I can even figure out what it is Its a secret. There was no need to tell that to the other side. Well, in the first ce, unlike the system obtained by the Tower of Trials or the Awakeners of Earth, wasnt a part of the system itself separated and attributed to me due to the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >? Even if I told them where the power they had came from, they wouldnt be able to figure it out, and even if that wasnt the case, it wouldnt even be a situation where they could exin the source of the power in an obedient way. Even if I talk about my strength, I dont think theyll understand it properly, but even so, I need to hide it in case it turns out to be a weakness. There was really nothing different. [ okay? Thats it. It seems to be using a bit of a strange power but anyway. Nothing will change. ] The Dragon God replied lightly, as if he hadnt thought that this side would give a proper answer, and moved on to the next action. Chii-i-i-! The tremendous divine power is literally scattered from the dragon gods body and condensed into momentum that will pour somewhere at any time. [Ill finish it. ] and. Divine < Dragon Word > is activated, consumes divine power, and exerts the power to interfere with certain objects and phenomena within a certain range with the Dragon Word. next moment. . In an instant, as soon as the dragon god spoke an iprehensible mysteriousnguage, her words turned into a force and acted. Hard! It feels as if thews of things and phenomena in the world itself are being reversed by the gods supernormal ability ording to the dragon gods divinity < Dragon Word >. !! The only thing the Dragon God did was spit out a few words while using his divine ability. What is this But Sacred power and magical power dont work at all? Suddenly, as soon as the Dragon God uttered a certain word using the Divine < Dragon Word >, I noticed that neither the Divinity nor the mana in my body had be immovable. under. Not to mention, the divinity and mana were sealed without even the slightest resistance, as if there was no room for the ability to resist divinity on this side. thats absurd. Even if he is an ancient deity who has transformed himself into divinity and concept and achieved the divine hierarchy to the point of immortality, he cannot resist and be overpowered This is not the main body of the Dragon God, but the incarnation? It was huge. Ill be thrilled. overwhelming power. It is truly the supernatural ability of a powerful deity worthy of being the head of this universe, respected even among ancient deities, and regarded as being outside the standard. It would not be possible to exert 100% level of power with the incarnation of that Dragon God. No matter how much power that other side could bestow from the main body to the incarnated body than ordinary gods, it would be only half or a little higher than that of the main body of the Dragon God. Even so, it had such a strong power. At this point, Im on apletely different level from me, the god of birth, or the usual ancient deities Ive seen in pantheons At this point, shouldnt it be said that the other side has achieved a divine hierarchy of a separate type, not even a general ancient deity? Its just that its more reasonable to think that its not even an Ancient Godhead, but something that almost transcends the realm of an Ancient Godhead. Realized. In fact, the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods are half out of the category of ancient gods. Perhaps the three most ancient deities in the universe may not have be transcendents, but they can be said to have reached the boundary before bing transcendents. Shall we go seriously? However, even so, it did not mean that much because this side did not have the power to resist it at all. The Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > is activated. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons actions will have the divinity effect of < denial of alteration >. You can deny all negative changes about you that are realized by outside interference. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < The One and Only >. Outside phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission. Its this way, because by activating the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >, you can easily destroy the Dragon Gods divinity < Dragon Word >, which makes divinity and mana immobile. Whoa-! and. As a user, I encountered a strong opponent that was difficult to handle. The skill Indomitable Will is activated. The authority Winter King is automatically activated when the conditions are met. All stats are amplified by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The exclusive spell < Despise the Strong > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. Myth < Reversal Hero > is activated. All stats increase by +2000. The special buff < Dragon yer > is activated. While hunting a dragon with overwhelming power, all stats increase by 30%. next moment. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!! In an instant, countless skills, powers, myths, and divine powers were activated. Numerous system messages appeared in front of my eyes, clearly informing me that most of my power had been used. The various powers he has acquired while climbing the Tower of Trials so far surge from his body, forming a perfect harmony without shaking. The risk is too great to judge the dragon gods level of strength while saving my power any longer. There was no hesitation. Because on this side, the option of hiding power from the Dragon God did not exist from the beginning. Divinity or mythology, skill or authority, or even the power of holy relics and items, you have to bring out all of them, and a fight can barely be established. I dont know in detail how far the Dragon God can exert his power as an incarnated form, but at least its not at the same level. At that, I nced at the incarnation of the Dragon God standing on the other side, then finished my judgment. Its not going to be close win or lose. Thetter would be the closest to either, but the former is not impossible at all. Even if the original dragon god is an existence that stands on the borderline of transcendental beings beyond even the category of an ancient deity, isnt that the dragon god itself? The fact that what is standing in front of you is not the main body of the Dragon God, but the incarnation, makes it possible to see the possibility of victory like a thread. Its possible. step. Divinity < Thunder Rain > is activated, and a rain of thunder shoots out causing permanent damage to the concept of divinity. That too was only for a moment. Even while this side was using the skill Focus on Combat and continuing to think and judge in an instant, the dragon god continued to attack without stopping. It was not easy to block or avoid the divine < Thunder Rain > even though he had used numerous skills, powers, divinity and mythology, and even items. ! At the very least, the divinity < Thunder Rain > that this side saw was shot at tremendous speed, but the attack range was not particrly wide. But this time its different. The divine < Thunder Rain > was torn into hundreds of pieces at a speed that easily exceeded the speed of sound, and covered all directions as raindrops containing thunder. however. The unique skill Drain is activated. Even if its an attack that cant be let go, it bes possible to let go. Anyway, the divine < Thunder Rain > doesnt even need to be evaded or blocked, just send it aside with the unique skill Drain. It doesnt fall out!! In the blink of an eye, divine < thunder rain > was scattered in all directions ording to the direction the two swords were swung. gg gg gg gg gg gg-! The divine < Thunder Rain > had an overwhelming amount of impact, but there was no particr problem in draining it apart from it. Kaga gag gak gak-! In the end, no matter what the leaves floating on the river do, in the end, just as they move along the flow of water, the raindrops of thunder made of divinity only flow sideways. Hey hey hey hey hey-!! However, although it was sessful in letting the divine < Thunder Rain > flow, of course it was not without loss at all. In an instant, half of the mana in the body was consumed. I realized that even if I tried to drag the time on the dragon god like now, I would end up losing miserably sooner orter. Is a long-term battle sure impossible? The more time it drags on, the more it will be me, not the incarnation of the Dragon God, who will actually be at a disadvantage. Even if I have a lot of power, such as magic recovery or magic power increase skills, there is no answer if I push like this in a short period of time. Climbing the Tower of Trials, he had to raise his magic ability like crazy, but isnt it a level that cant even bepared to the dragon god standing there? Are you saying that a short-term battle with the incarnation of the Dragon God is the only answer and. [ you. ] It was then. Jerk-jerk-. [ thats interesting. Im blocking everyone who activates my divinity and power myth. And with a very strange power. There is something inherently different from powers such as divinity, mythology, or might. Right? ] Suddenly, instead of pouring out hellish attacks with divine abilities, the dragon god moved lightly and said so. [ Strange. If there was an ancient deity like you, I should have noticed it sooner I dont really have any memories of you. Its heterogeneous. ] In her eyes that resembled two reptiles, there was a mixture of interest and alertness that could not be hidden. [God of time. The grumpy prophet was right. There are things that should not exist in this universe, and there are things that should not exist in this universe. Something is twisted. ] Not different [ What is your true identity? ] That means one thing. shit. In fact, the Dragon God began to vaguely guess that this ce was nothing more than a stage created by the Tower of Trials. Suddenly, the Dragon God is trying to notice that this is the stage created by the Tower of Trials. Perhaps you noticed that this sides divinity, mythology, skills, and powers are special, unlike ordinary people Rather than wasting time meaninglessly anymore, the answer is to drive the Dragon God faster. Not good. To be honest, I dont know who the god of time is Judging from what her dragon god said, it seemed that the author of the god of time had informed her that this world was somehow twisted. The Dragon God is currently active as an incarnated body, but I dont know what will happen if I notice that the world was created by the Tower of Trials. What would happen if that Dragon God found out that the Tower of Trials was a fake close to the real thing that was reproduced even with the power of Remegeton? It wasnt the time to stock up on things. It didnt seem like it would lead to anything particrly positive, at least for this side. Kwaaaak-. In response, I took a deep breath while gripping the hilt of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword even tighter. Whoa-. The answer was fixed. I have to hurry. There was only one way to forcefully press the dragon god and settle the matter within a short period of time. Mo or do. and. Heres life and death. next moment. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-! The divine < Dark Sky > is used. The divine < Dark Sky > transforms the entire area into a dedicated battlefield. In a dedicated battlefield where the divine < Amcheon > is used, all creatures other than challenger Seongyoon Han fall into a state of weakness. Conceptual divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon is enhanced by +100% on the dedicated battlefield where the divinity < Amcheon > is used. In the blink of an eye, the divine < Dark Sky > was activated, and ck clouds appeared all over the area, almost separating the space itself. [ Sacred realm? ] The dragon god said with a feeling of bewilderment, as if asking why the divinity < Amcheon > written by this side didnt look particrly good. I guess so. In fact, unless it is the divine < Dark Sky >, there is no particr merit in building a divine realm, and the divine realm is offset and disappears when the opponent and yourself develop at the same time. If the Dragon God uses the divine realm just like me, the divine < Dark Sky > will copse and disappear. But not now. But thats not the main body of the Dragon God, but an incarnation. In fact, whether it is an ancient deity, a higher level deity, or a formal deity, establishing a divine realm is a task that must be able to contain the concept of divinity itself. There is no possibility that the divine < Dark Sky > will be destroyed. In other words, as long as the dragon god is an incarnation, not the main body, it means that it cannotpletely contain its own conceptual divinity, so it cannot destroy the divine realm created by this side. If all kinds of concept divinities be +100% stronger without any conditions, there is no need to be afraid. What does it mean that all types of concept divinities are strengthened by +100% in the divinity realm created by divinity < Dark Sky >? Because even non-standard divinities, such as divinity < transcendence > or divinity < fighting spirit >, be twice as strong. Hard! The divine < fighting spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used. With Divinity < Fight >, challenger Seongyoon Han receives arge buff in proportion to the level of Fighting Spirit. The recovery speed and total amount of recovery increase by 200 times with divine < fighting spirit >. All physical abilities be 200 times stronger with Divine Fighting Spirit. The attack speed is elerated by 200 times with the divine < fighting spirit > Divine < fighting spirit > increases the ability to resist external divinities by 200 times therefore-. it was simple. Use Divinity < Transcendence >. All abilities will be out of range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range. In proportion to the difference in level with the opponent, the growth rate of all types increases [712] times. I win. That is, it is not long before the power that this side possesses will be able to press down with force, not the main body of the Dragon God. Chapter 436 436. Before the Storm (3) Originally, the sacred < Dark Sky > was the power obtained from Emperor Pa, one of the challengers belonging to the Tower of Trials. Well, Pa-Tenwang thought that the divine < Dark Sky > was useless, so he didnt use it until right before he died Thats based on the Secret Art of Selection and Concentration (S), which is now a unique skill of Pa-Cennwang, not a unique characteristic. Isnt it because I invested everything in my physical abilities? Theres no way you dont know the value of the divine < Dark Sky > unless youre an idiot like Pacheon, who changes his strength, agility, and physical stats to divinity, authority, and skills. In fact, the divinity < Amcheon > provided immeasurable merits not only to high-ranking or formal deities, but also to ancient deities. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! like now. Divine < Fighting Spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used. With Divine < Fighting Fighting >, challenger Seongyun Han receives arge buff in proportion to the level of fighting spirit. Healing speed and total recovery amount with Divine < Fighting Fighting > Increases by 200 times. Divine < Fighting Spirit > makes all physical abilities 200 times stronger. Divine < Fighting Spirit > increases the attack speed by 200 times. Divine < Fighting Spirit > increases external Divine resistance is 200 times higher Its not at the level where divine < fighting spirit > stacks once more to give a 10000x increase buff but thats how divine < fighting spirit > stacks in an unusual way. Its just a story whenpared to the case of application. Being able to double the value of the divine < fighting spirit > boost buff without any conditions or restrictions is truly staggering. The fact that the divine < fighting spirit > can be ovepped is almost a bug that can be used in exchange for some kind of holy relic. As with the ovepping divine < fighting spirit >, it cannot show even sub-light speed movements, let alone light speed, with its physical abilities alone, but it can show speeds that lightly exceed supersonic speeds. This is enough for now. Not even that. Use Divinity < Transcendence > All abilities go beyond the set range. The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go outside the set range. Conflict with the other party In proportion to the difference in level, the growth speed of all types increases [712] times. Divinity < Transcendence > is activated, and countless abilities such as divine and mythological skills and power-only effects enter the growth eleration state. 712 times Just by activating Divinity < Transcendence > within Divinity < Amcheon >, a growth rate increase that has never been seen beforees out. Its amazing. Of course its not strange. It is one of the real exhaust monsters that breaks the mold ofmon sense, which may have more power than any adversary it has encountered. The other person standing in front of me is the incarnation of the Dragon God, the head of this universe, and is not an ancient deity, but a being closer to a transcendental being. Since the dragon gods incarnation, not the body, is stronger than the general ancient gods, the multiplier for the increase in growth speed obtained through divinity < Transcendence > must be going crazy like this. Should I be happy that the growth rate increase of the divinity < Transcendence > is this much, or should I hate that the opponent is that strong? Even though hes not a transcendental person, hes an adversary thats different from the general ancient godhead I smiled as I felt thrill and thrill, joy and anxiety pulsating together. Thats Thinking only of victory, reward, and gain, he turns even despair and fear into a foundation for his fighting spirit. Doesnt that mean that there are many things to be gained if I win this life-and-death fight? Is that why? As long as I seed in surviving the Dragon God, I will be able to achieve rapid growth unconditionally. Before I knew it, I couldnt even think of stepping back from the Dragon God, who was close to something that wasnt even an ancient god. The power skill Grace of Wind is strongly activated. All speeds increase by 170%. Current skill ovep progress C [17] I just focus on defeating the incarnation of the Dragon God. Increases the power of Power skill skills by [10] times by consuming holy power. . Quaaaaaaaaaagh- ! In the blink of an eye, I poured out the 7 types of herbivores that I learned from Yongshin and Baekhakgeomseon, even with the Honwon Demon Sword. Phi-it. [ yes. ] The dragon god, strengthened by the power skill Hongwon Demon Sword, let out a shallow salute at the seven types of white swords that raged like a fierce storm. [ thats quite right!! ] He even put on an annoyed expression, as if he had been caught off guard in a way he never thought of. Quagga gag gag gag gag-! [ But thats it! ] The dragons eyes brightened intensely, and at the same time, he shook off the wide-area attack that poured in like a kind of natural disaster with both hands, revealing his teeth and smiling. [ Did you really think that just because I came here as an incarnated body, I couldnt break even a single sacred realm? ] Crackling!! [ That cant be the case, right? ] She fluttered her long silver hair and jumped into the center of the divine realm built with the divine < Dark Sky > without hesitation, and immediately mmed her hands into the ground. [There is no need to create and destroy a sacred realm that contains my conceptual divinity to destroy a sacred realm like this!! ] Thats that!! Perhaps this side is trying to remove the entire divine realm created by the divine < Amcheon > and erase it by force .. ] Wow! [ uh? ] is useless. [ What is this? ] Isnt it? There is no way I can erase my divinity < Dark Sky > so easily while the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > is active. In fact, I almost rammed the power of the divine < Dark Sky > itself into the divine realm. In other words, since this divine realm is the divine < Amcheon > itself in a certain way, it means that it is protected from external interference by the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >. Well, on the day when this sacred realm copses for some reason, the divine < Amcheon > will also disappear, but for now, it will be enough as an expedient to endure as much as possible from the enemy in front of you. Since the supernatural abilities of the divine have been almost contained in the divine realm, it will not be easily broken unless the dragon god can offset the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >. Then it was just a head-to-head match. Lets try. In an instant, numerous skills, powers, and the power of divinity and mythology radiate from the body and pour into the opponent. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! [ Gut! ] At this point, there was some damage. The Dragon God is not the main body, but an incarnation, and isnt it a situation where you have to fight while being in a state of weakness due to the divine realm created by this side? Even if the Dragon God is an existence that is one step closer to the borderline of a transcendental being who has surpassed even an ancient deity, in the end, if the damage umtes like this, it will inevitably be pushed back. If I procrastinate more, Ill see the bottom of my magic and holy power, but Im good at earning time to a certain extent. and. The mastery of the skill Battle eleration (SS-) has reached 100%. The grade of the skill Battle eleration (SS-) has increased by one level. The skill Instantaneous eleration (SS-) Your mastery has reached 100% The level of the skill Instantaneous eleration (SS-) has risen by one level The mastery of the skill Shock Block (SS-) has reached 100% Also The level of the skill Shock Block (SS-) goes up one level Thats not all. The mastery of the Power Skill skill Magical Circuit (S-) has reached 100%. The grade of the Power Skill skill Magic Circuit (S-) has risen by one level. ) mastery has reached 100% The level of the power skill skill Grace of Wind (S) has risen by one step Power skill skill Unextinguished Mortal me (S+) Even if the proficiency of is 100%] The level of the power skill skill Unextinguished Mortal me (S+) is one step higher Due to the Supernatural Power of Divine < Transcendence >, all abilities this side possesses is showing an overwhelming growth trend beyond the limit line. Its a structure that has no choice but to rise. Just by drawing out all the strength this side had and using it, it became possible to perform faster, stronger, and more sophisticated attacks and defenses. I can win. There was only one factor that would determine victory or defeat. Probably, the winner and the loser will be divided depending on which of the two first reaches the bottom of the amount of holy power or magical power. And so, even if it seems like I can manage a long-term fight thanks to the fact that I get stronger as time goes on, the dragon god will winter. The answer is to push without giving any more time to do something. In other words, what this side has to do is to make sure that the dragon god can no longer do anything, and at the same time use an overwhelming attack weapon such as the Hunyuan demon sword to press down with force. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! But the other side didnt know that either. [ Are you trying to end me in a short-term showdown? ] Hard-. [ Huh. yeah thats not bad To be honest, I dont particrly hate instantaneous firepower fights. Lets stick together properly. ] Even though the dragon god is not the main body but an incarnation, it must have been difficult to ept that he was being pushed by me by force, so he shouted and emitted the divine starlight. Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Is it a starlight? Even though the dragon god is not the body but an incarnation, the divine power condensed in the divine starlight reached a level that could destroy even a. [ you. ] She condensed the divine starlight to the limit in her right hand and spat out words like murderous words. [Hold on to this one. ] And. ! In an instant, the dragon god vigorously waved his right hand, and the divine starlight was emitted in a straight line to the ce where I was standing and spread widely. I can block it by using the divinity < victory > or some type of defense type divinity. But it wasnt that scary. But its an unnecessary attack. Isnt it? If the other side decides to use the Holy Light, Ill just fight with the same number. In fact, the dragon gods holy light power is the same as me, even though Im not an original, but a replica. The power skill Starlight is activated and a starlight containing the divinity < death > is created. and. The skill Starlight Expansion is strongly activated. All types of starlight expand greatly, resulting in a performance improvement of up to 4 times. The moment when I expanded it to the limit by using skills, powers, and myths. The divine power-only power, Pure Seeker of Death is activated. All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will gradually be contaminated with life, magic, and divinity. All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will lose their lives and It takes fixed damage to the essential elements that are directly rted to it. All beings touched by the divine < Death > can never avoid the damage caused by the Seeker of Pure Death. The Seeker of Pure Death. The power obtained when he climbed the Tower of Trials and killed one of the ancient deities, the god of birth. It was contained in the divine starlight created by this side and endowed with the supernormal ability of absolute death. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-! Mo or do. Increases the power of Power skill skills by [10] times by consuming holy power. . Power Skills in an instant He inted the divine starlight with the Hongwon Magic Sword and mixed the power skill Unextinguished Mortal me toplete a fatal blow. Goes. and. !! next moment. Deed deed deed deed deed! Even the divine realm containing the divine < Dark River > itself was twisted and broken, and the tremendous destructive power swept the area. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! In fact, since this is a special move thatbines most of the strongest hands this side possesses, there was a wish that the other side would be hit by a counter and destroyed. Damn it . _ However, it did not seem to have suffered enough damage to lead to the extinction of the incarnation. At least, its fortunate that I dealt divine contamination and fixed damage with the Seeker of Pure Death, a divine power-only power. However, that is to say that the dragon god appears to be fine on the outside, and the extinction of the incarnation will inevitably be elerated as long as damage is received by the divine power-only power, Pure Seeker of Death. There is no room for hesitation. One more time I have to use all the attacking tools at my disposal to drive them. Thats how you win. Kwaaaak-. The moment I was about to continue my next attack while holding onto the hilt of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword. [ hu whoop whoop. ] It was then. [ is that a lie? ] Suddenly, the dragon god began to mutter with a very confused voice and emotion that was not like her. [that there was another being in this universe who could change so many different things besides me, not enough to handle the holy light? ] Seeing that, I frowned and felt apologetic, wondering if I had offended the dragon god by any means. Its me who gained the holy light by climbing the Tower of Trials, but to the Dragon God, it must feel inconsistent in many ways. Perhaps the dragon god felt that this side had learned the holy light while fighting a fierce battle with her, so he was not very happy. But apart from that, this side is now in the middle of a fierce battle between life and death, so rather than feeling guilty for the dragon god, I focused on preparing for the next move. [Ahahahahahahahahahaha-! ] By the way [This is not a dream, is it? ] It was strange. Somehow, rather than feeling insulted about what the other side did, Yongshin seemed to feel a much different impression than expected. And as I watched her burst into madughter for no reason, a chilling sensation seemed to ride up my spine. [Finally found!! ] And. [ Heir! ] next moment. Hard! The dragon god looks at you and smiles brightly. [I will never let you die. ] In the incarnation of the dragon god standing in front of me, the divine power swelled like crazy, and it gave off enough power that it was hard to see that it was contained in one incarnation. [I dont choose the means and methods anymore. ] It was serious. Has the divine power increased? In fact, it would have been surprising to have given as much power to an incarnation that was not the main body of the Dragon God, but more divine power than that was allocated. Even if this is not the main body of the Dragon God, but an incarnation, if it goes this far, doesnt the incarnation have 70% of the power of the Dragon Gods main body? It was terrifying. It was all the more so because he knew what it meant that more divine power was allocated to the incarnation of the dragon god standing in front of him than before. It means that the gap between the main body and the incarnation is not so great when the incarnation of that Dragon God is only considered by simple divine power. [You will have me. ] Why? [Even if I had to throw everything away in this war of the gods, I would take only you at any cost. ] Her two eyes were shining brightly like stars, unlike when she felt trivial, bored or annoyed like before. [Must be.] Doesnt that mean one thing? Isnt this really the same as dying if you lose? At this moment, the Dragon God dered that he would somehow make this half-dead and kidnap him, even if he exerted the strength close to the main body. Chapter 437 437. The night before the storm (4) Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!! Overwhelming divine power rages at the ce where the Dragon God is standing, and mad emotions flow out. The dragon god feels a strong possessive desire for you. [ You will take everything I have from here. ] It was bloody. Maybe at the point of losing to the Dragon God, it could end up in a worse situation than I thought. Somehow, the Dragon God gave the power of the holy light this side used more meaning than I could have imagined, and was showing a mad obsession. The Dragon God first became interested in the Tower of Trials when he learned and used the holy light. In fact, if it was nothing more than the power obtained by ident while climbing the Tower of Trials, the dragon god was extremely excited just by acquiring and handling the holy light. Does the power of the holy light have any meaning beyond simple skill to the dragon god? It means that the power of the holy light that this side has is something special in the eyes of the dragon god, but apart from spection, he did not understand or understand. Its hard to say that Seong-gwang has so much specialness to the extent that he expresses mad emotions like that. I dont know. Well, even if its not that, I dont have much conversation with the dragon god, so I cant easilye up with guesses and conclusions. But is one thing certain? As a result, I focused on foretelling the possibility of victory and defeat again, rather than fanatically obsessing over why the dragon god could use the holy light. I dont know what the dragon god tried to incarnate from the main body, but he gave close to 70% of the dragon gods bodys power. judged Compared to the main body, the incarnation of the dragon god standing in front of me is how much power it has. And after repeated thoughts and thoughts, I knew that eventually only one conclusion woulde out. It means that Im not even an opponent I can fight anymore. short-term battle? That kind of thing had reached the point where it couldnt be established with that Dragon God. In fact, in this universe, the beings of the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods are strong people who have reached the borderline of the transcendent beyond the ancient gods. At the point when the Dragon God granted nearly 70% of the power from the main body to the incarnated body, it was as if a proper fight had be impossible. Damn it. If you insist, it can be seen as the same level as a seven-year-old child attacking a strong adult man. The dragon god looks at you with greedy eyes. [Dont be afraid. Contrary to what I told you earlier, I have no intention of killing or sealing it permanently. Ill make sure to take you as pain free as possible. ] The other side knew that for sure. Before he knew it, the dragon god, floating in the air, healed the torn grips on both hands and said so in a seemingly friendly voice. However, in the inner meaning of her words, there is an unknown possessive desire to take her by force no matter what this side does. [You will have me. ] At that, I felt the possessive desire flowing from the dragon gods eyes and smiled. It was absurd. I realized how wide the gap between them was in the face of overwhelming power. The strength he gained while climbing the Tower of Trials and the strength he had personally umted as an ancient deity, and even though he used most of it without sparing, he was at such a disadvantage I dont know why, but deep in his heart, anger and annoyance mixed together, causing a repulsive feeling . felt it causing Contrary to what you told me earlier, you are saying that you will take care of me so that I will not be seriously injured. [Ahaha-! huh! thats right! I didnt know there would be such a fateful meeting in such an insignificant ce as the war of the gods. I will take you by any means. ] At that, I pursed my lips with a twisted smile. Is that so? Jerk-jerk-. Then I have something to promise you. There was only one way to fight back at the point when the Dragon God granted nearly 70% of the divine power from the main body to the incarnated body. Since the Dragon God came here as an incarnated body, it doesnt matter if he dies, doesnt it? Using < Spirit Indomitability >, one of the effects of the Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning >, equalizes the divinity of the opponent. I think that is fortunate. To put it bluntly, the question remains as to whether I can follow the divine and spiritual qualities of the Dragon God without any problems You dont have to worry. can withstand After all, when fighting demons in the demon realm, even if the level of divinity and spirit were equal, wasnt it possible to endure it, albeit just barely? Then, even if I catch up with that Dragon Gods divinity or soul status, I wont die. And ordingly, I took the next action, ruminating that this was myst chance to fight the Dragon God equally. As much as possible, I will make sure that the incarnation created by the Dragon God is not painfully destroyed. and. Designationplete. The Transcendence Myth < Spirit Tuning > begins equalizing the case of the designated opponent. From now on, all types of cases will be in front of you for [4 minutes]. You be equal with your opponent, and the rise in rank can put a lot of pressure on you. So The next moment. Hard! The god of transcendence and death res at the dragon god and smiles twistedly. [ You will definitely win, even with everything I have. ] In the blink of an eye, I charged forward, scattering overwhelming divine and soul blows. *** 4 minutes. limited time. Its hard to say that theres a lot of time, but the disadvantage of the fight doesnt turn over at once. Even if you use < Spirit Indomitability >, one of the effects of < Spirit Tuning > in the transcendence myth, and imitate the other persons divine and soul status, you will not be perfectly equal. Dragon God The enemy standing in front of me is a being who has lived through countless years as the head of this universe. Whether its the level of the divine or the level of the soul, you cant be perfectly equal. However, that is only the case when the dragon god put in front of us is the main body, not the incarnation, and the dragon god must be dealing with various restrictions in writing divinity, power, or mythology. In the end, no matter how much divine power the dragon god can send from the main body to the incarnation, essentially what the dragon god can do with the incarnation is quite limited. In fact, the Dragon God did not use divinity, authority, or mythology in various ways, even while disying tremendous divine power even as an incarnated body. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The divinity < Thunder Rain > is activated, and a thunder rain that causes permanent damage to the concept of divinity is fired. A thunder rain made of divinity pours down. Divine < Dragon Word > is activated, consuming divine power, and using the Dragon Word, the power to interfere with certain objects and phenomena within a certain range is exerted. . The iprehensiblenguage of the dragon, made of divinity, twisted the world itself and showed power beyondmon sense. ! But. Awesome! That was all. Slowly! It erases the opponents power with a cross-attack using the unique skill Shedding and powerful skills such as the soul source magic sword or the mortal me that does not go out. [ Gut! ] And not only that, but the aftermath of the attack that this side opened in response reached the dragon god, albeit weakly. As expected, its a limited power. And in that number fight, I realized that the number of divinities, myths, and powers that the dragon god could use was limited. Among the divine abilities, there arent many powers that specialize in attacks. And not only that, but there are no other offensive powers. It must be the limit as an incarnated body rather than the main body. In other words, if Im not weighed down by the Dragon God in terms of basic differences in weight, such as Divinity or Spirit, I canpete properly for 4 minutes. The Dragon God is embarrassed, feeling that you have the same level of divinity and spirit as his own. [The level of divinity is the level of soul] Also, did the dragon god feel properly to what level I raised the level of divinity and spirit? [At least in that short amount of time, it can grow this far? On the topic of a god from an insignificant short-lived species? is that possible? ] The Dragon Gods eyes were stained with astonishment, but before long, a more intense light of possessive desire flowed out of them. [ you should also be my sessor. you can never give it to anyone I wont lose it to the other guys. Im going to be a bit forced to take it here. ] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-! The dragon god scattered strong emotions of greed from his two pupils, then gathered and emitted overwhelming divine light. I cant believe this I was able to catch a glimpse of the opportunity to win in the dragon gods unintentional action. Did the Dragon God think that I wouldnt be weak if I took more time? Perhaps this side doesnt know that with the < Spirit Indomitable > of the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, you can raise the level of divinity and soul within the 4-minute time limit Is it a scam? It was lucky. Then the correct answer is to hang out. Yes, even though there are only a handful ofst cards left, arent they all good abilities to shine in a battle where victory and defeat are decided with one blow like now? Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!! In an instant, he took out all the power of divinity and mana and leaped. At that timing, the dragon god also poured overwhelming divine power into the supernormal ability of the divine and unfolded it on a huge scale. The supernatural ability of the divine, capable of destroying a as if it were no big deal, fell from the sky to the ground. ! The divinity < Thunder Rain > is activated, causing a permanent damage to the concept of divinity, and a rain of thunder is shot. Originally, the divinity < Thunder Rain > was only at the level of ejecting rain streams made of thunder, but this time it was on a different level. It was a different scale. What. meteor shower. Raindrops made of thunder, each one the same size as a meteorite, are divided into tens of thousands of branches and fall. The idea of counteracting the attack itself by counterattacking with the unique skill Leave or using an attacking technique was beyond my imagination. Shuk-. If so, exclude Initiate Divinity < Victory > to eliminate one possibility of defeat. The power of Divinity < Victory > obtained by killing the god of victory on the battlefield of the gods created by the Tower of Trials eliminates one possibility of defeat. . In an instant, the meteor showers of thunder that can easily destroy the world created by the divine < Thunder Rain > disappear. [Thats it. ] And the dragon god, who saw that, floated in the sky and let out goosebumps malice that didnt go well with his beautiful voice. Divine < Dragon Word > is activated, consuming divine power, and using the Dragon Word, the power to interfere with certain objects and phenomena within a certain range is exerted. . Kwaddeu -. The divine < Dragon Word > exerted its power to interfere with thews of things and phenomena in the world and created a restraint that deviated frommon sense. Did I just freeze the entire space Im standing in? space freeze. Just by uttering a few words using the divine < Dragon Word >, the space of the world itself freezes and freezes. Whats more, as if that wasnt enough, the divine < Dragon Eon > written by the Dragon God contained various curses and restraints, so he couldnt do anything. Use divine < protection > Consumes divine power to give out a protection that excludes external divinities once . But it doesnt work. Kwajangchang-! Only in preparation for the worst moment when there is no way to do this, the power of the sacred < Divine Protection > saved without use helps to escape from the bondage of bondage. Keying! However, despite this, the divine starlight was too dazzling to reach the dragon god. [ I won! ] One, and that for a while. Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect, Attack Nullification is activated. Myth < Sentence of Ruin > is returned to its pre-attack state by Attack Nullification. Regressors Decay A cooldown of 30 minutes is created for the missing wristwatch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification. [ Huh?] The next moment. The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight. In the blink of an eye, I fly in front of the Dragon God. He smiled as he moved momentarily. Divinity < Death > is used. The death of everything eroded by Divinity < Death > can be controlled. Divinity < Evil Eating > is used It possesses the power to devour] Divinity < attachment > dies Parasitic on objects touched by the divinity, absorbing and controlling life force And then. The divine power-only power, Pure Seeker of Death is activated. All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will gradually be contaminated with life, magic, and divinity. All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will lose their lives and It takes fixed damage to the essential element that is directly connected to it. All beings touched by the divine < Death > can never avoid the damage caused by the seeker of pure death. Checkmate. Deed deed deed deed deed deed!! At that moment, two swords were thrust into the Dragon Gods chest as if he was sentenced to death, holding a concept supernatural ability that was no different from death itself. Chapter 438 438. The night before the storm (5) Deed deed deed deed deed deed! In an instant, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Wave Heaven Sword were shot into the Dragon Gods chest. Kagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga-! However what else is this In front of the overwhelming divine power surrounded by the dragon gods skin, even the numerous powers of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword could not easily break the defense. Is that a lie? It was creepy. Centering on the Divine < Death >, the Divine < Death >, and the Divine < Birth >, the deadly blow that devours even the opponents divinity is blocked by pure divine power? The only thing the Dragon God did was to raise the basic ability to protect the divine power to the limit by surrounding it like a protective shield. That kind of thing is possible only with divine power? If that was the case, the blow of conversion, which this side had exerted with all their might, could not even touch the skin of the Dragon God, and was blocked by the divine shield. Awesome-. but for a while. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! For a moment, it was blocked by the divine protective shield surrounded by the Dragon Gods skin, but it was literally only a moment. Divine and mythical skills, powers, and even items, it was not a power that could be prevented by blocking the deadly blow that countless forces were poured into. Unlike the heavenly sword, which was still blocked by divine protection, the blood heaven demon sword quickly broke the divine protection of the dragon god and then pierced the heart at once. Crackle! Doesnt that mean one thing? The Dragon God looks down at his chest as if he cant believe it. [What is this-. ] Its nothing else [ Wook-! ] It was a death sentence. Chow-. [!! ] The supernormal ability of the divinity < death > this side possesses is the power to destroy even the ancient deity that achieved immortality by bing the concept divinity itself. Yeah, no matter how strong the Dragon God is, I cant block this casually. Even the Tower of Trials, which is evaluated as the closest existence to a transcendent in this universe, was the one and only power that I could not obtain in the end. Whether its divinity, soul, or magical power, its impossible to avoid extinction if youre stained with my divinity < Death >. In an instant, the Divine < Death > prated deep into the dragon gods heart, and she could no longer float in the air and fell to the ground. Whoop-! But not instant death. Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu! Even after the dragon god fell to the ground, it seemed that he was trying to revive himself in various ways by consuming the divine power remaining in his incarnation. Tsutsutsu. Only Kwajajak-! [ Kuk!! ] No matter how much I poured the dragon gods overwhelming divine power into restoring the incarnation, nothing changed. Because the divinity and soul of the dragon god have already been seriously polluted by divine supernormal abilities such as divinity < death >, divinity < evil eating > and divinity < birth >. In fact, the divinity < death > alone would have caused a serious fatal injury, but since the divinity < evil eating > and the divinity < birth > were mixed together, no matter how hard they tried, they could no longer survive. I feel that most of the divine power contained in the dragon gods incarnation is within my control. Even more so, thanks to the divinity obtained from the god of birth the other day, he was able to partially control the enormous divine power contained in the incarnation of the dragon god. Divinity < Death >, Divinity < Death >, and Divinity < Birth > are creating better synergy than I thought. Originally, it would have been close to impossible for even the original user of the divinity, the deity of birth, to infiltrate a higher or ancient deity with divine abilities. Wasnt that why the deity of birth also fought by forcibly raising the potential power of holy relics with divinity, or by manipting the terrain with divinity? No matter how much that dragon god is just an incarnation, he can contaminate the divine power of an ancient deity close to the transcendent and even control it But this side didnt have to. The story would be very different if you seeded in giving the other person absolute divinity, soul, and magic contamination using the divine < Death > as a base. At most, it is possible to obtain control over the other persons divinity or body if you do it as it is now, without even having to use the divine < birth > as an attacking weapon in an indirect way. Depending on how the divinity < birth > is grafted onto the divinity < death >, isnt it possible to have a higher utilization than expected? It was fun. Perhaps, if this side seeds inbining their powers well, they will be able to forcibly dominate and manipte higher or ancient deities. Well, anyway, it can only be done when you use your power well, and even if you dominate the other persons divinity and body, the scope of control will be limited. But that was enough. There will be quite a few variables or restrictions when using it in practice, but anyway, its a power that can briefly control the opponents divinity and body as long as the divinity < Death > hits. Its like youve got the best dagger to stab your opponent at an unexpected timing. Then theres nothing bad about it. The moment Inded on the ground, satisfied that I had survived the fierce battle where I risked my life and death, and that I had even acquired a new skill. -her. Suddenly, the Blood Demon Sword in this right hand began to tremble as if it were shaking. -ancient deity. Among them, the dragon god, who is a being close to the transcendent, who ispletely different from the ordinary immortals You really won . .. DI vaguely thought that one day you might really be stronger than a normal ancient deity but I still cant believe it. Isnt that absurd? It wasnt something I couldnt understand. DHow long did it take to climb the Tower of Trials to be an Ancient God, and if that wasnt enough, how long did it take to be an Ancient God and how long did it take to defeat the Dragon God? Actually, at first, I couldnt even imagine that I would defeat the dragon god so perfectly. -Tower of Trials. Maybe thats why I had no choice but to choose you Its not a level of talent or spirituality that can be tailored withmon sense. Even the words genius or monster wouldnt be enough to describe what youve aplished. Is that why? DI see. Now that the Tower of Trials has seen what it has seen and what possibilities it has felt, I can feel it. Somehow, Damcheonwu muttered as if he was talking to himself, as if he had realized something important. DFrom the beginning, to you But Sssss! There was no time to listen to his words. It was because a wave of a divinity was flowing inside the divinity realm made up of the divinity < Dark Heaven >. I smiled lightly as I felt the wave of divinity swaying unsteadily around the ce where the Dragon God had fallen. Lets talk againter. Its nothing else now that side seems to be epting the oue of the match. The incarnation of the Dragon God was slowly fading away. **** Extinction Reaction. Suddenly, from where the Dragon God was, a wave of divinity that could only be seen as a reaction to the extinction of divinity was clearly flowing out. Until now, the dragon god had tried to somehow purify the contamination of his divinity, soul, and mana by the divinity < death >, but now it seemed to have given up. Chak-. In fact, it was. Did the other side also admit that they couldnt overturn the oue of the game? As she approached the ce where the dragon god had fallen, she smiled dejectedly and parted her lips as if joking. The dragon god looks at you nkly and smiles wryly. [isnt this different from what you said earlier? He said he would destroy my incarnation so that it wouldnt hurt. Are you sick contrary to your promise? ] The Dragon God spoke to me with a smile on his face that could not be seen as facing death, perhaps because it was the extinction of the incarnation, not the main body. Is it because, unlike the first time we met earlier, he showed a light and cheerful appearance like the dragon god he saw in the pantheon? Somehow, looking at the light and yful figure of the smiling dragon god, a false smile formed on my lips. Its like a dragon god. Seeing that, I responded with a smile in line with what Yongshin said. I couldnt help it. Well, the person in front of me is so strong. Even if I tried to send them awayfortably without any more time to feel pain, it wasnt easy. And I looked straight into the dragon gods eyes and continued talking. But I kept my word that I will definitely win, so please watch. Is that why? [ joy. Cheeky. He is arrogant about the subject of a deity from the human race who may have lived for hundreds of years. If I hade here as a body rather than an incarnation, there wouldnt even have been a fight. ] While grunting like that, Yongshin expressed satisfaction as if he had be morefortable somewhere. [ but its the first time in my life that Ive lost in a fight even if its not my body. ] Originally, in this universe, is it because the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God are beings that are considered overwhelmingly strong even among the ancient gods? [I couldnt even imagine losing a fight like this to a lowly, short-lived breed who cant even live for a few hundred years. ] Yongshin seemed to feel fresh at the fact that he was defeated in the game. [Um and I dont know why, but I dont feel bad about losing because of you tricking me into something I dont know. Rather, it feelsfortable. ] She muttered that, and then let out a deep sigh as if it was a waste. [Ah. but its a waste. I wanted to take only you from the war of the gods somehow. I cant do that. ] Pagagak-. The dragon god raised his right hand while lying on the ground and saw himself being stained with divine < death > and shattered. [The concept of dealing with death itself Divinity. Even if he was a dark god or a demon, if he was attacked by something like this, he wouldnt have been able to survive as an incarnated body. ] The grumbling, whether praise orint, was short-lived. [ would you like toe with me? ] Yongshin said calmly as if it were thest proposal. [As expected, it would be a waste to rot a treasure like you here. Theres nothing to be gained by staying in a ce like this any longer, right? Why dont you be my heir instead of doing trivial things in a ce like this? If you do that] No. I also have work to do here. It cant be. [ okay? Well, even pretending, he didnt seem to have any intention of bing my sessor, so he tried to take him by force by pressing down on him. Is it unavoidable? ] . I was dumbfounded at that, so I looked at the dragon god, and she smiled and said, [ Actually, I still havent given up on taking you. I dont know what the hell you want in the war of the gods, but Ill go find you as soon as my body recovers the power poured into the incarnation. Until then, please be careful. ] Ah yes. Lets try. But I dont really like the idea ofing to kidnap me again. I hope you dont. Seriously. [Whoops. well-? Ill try too-. So be careful. In the War of the Gods, if you get caught in the eyes of other guys, you could end up in a really terrible situation. This is not a joke. ] The dragon god continued to speak in a cold tone with his eyes narrowed. [God of time. That nasty seer said there was an impurity somewhere. Did you say that space-time seems to be warped because of that? But now that I see it, I think its because of you, so Im saying it. ] impurities. Its not clear who it refers to. It refers to the one who came from outside the stage, not the fake deities that were merely imitations created by the Tower of Trials. [Isnt it? In fact, in this universe, it is not enough to directly govern the high-level concept of death itself, and everyone cannot know the being reborn as an ancient deity. I came here and knew you for the first time. ] I couldnt even reply to what the dragon god said. [Ahaha! isnt it strange What do you think everyone would think if an ancient deity found out about this? Well, at least no one will see you favorably or think youre not suspicious. At worst, theyll all try to catch you and interrogate you. ] As the dragon god said, in actual history, there would have been no impurities like me in the wars of the gods. not all of them, but most of the ancient deities trapped in the war of the gods sensed something strange. Its just that this side hasnt been active in earnest until now, so everyone didnt notice it quickly. If this side shows its strength in earnest in the war of the gods, the number of people who have doubts will increase. Perhaps those who have already noticed that I am suspicious in the war of the gods may be narrowing the siege. [God of time. Even more so with that picky prophet. Well, it doesnt matter what to me, but it doesnt matter to the other guys. So take care of yourself. ] And. [Because you will probably be chased by the ancient gods from the moment the story about you leaks out to the end of the war of the gods. ] Farah-. The moment when the dragon god finally uttered those words, the incarnationpletely disappeared and changed into the light of divinity. I realized. Actually, the fact that I had to risk my life against the incarnation of the Dragon God so far is very likely to belong to the axis of nothingpared to what will happen in the future. And that it will not be long before a storm will begin to rage in earnest. ! But Huh? There was no time to think deeply about the serious matter, and the ident urred. What is this again? Suddenly, the incarnation of the Dragon God disappeared, and at the same time, the divinity and soul that dwelled in the Dragon Gods incarnation were transformed into something familiar. Dragon? Absorbed the spirit of Three ? Challenger Han Seong-yoons victory against the incarnation of the Dragon God brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 18.4%. As a special reward for < Divinity Ascension >, the exclusive effect Dragon Bowl (SSS-).] From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon can receive additional corrections to acquire dragon-rted powers. Its nothing else . Unique trait Necroman Poetrys proficiency increases by 14%. It was simple. dragon? By absorbing the spirits of Three ?, the special conditions have been satisfied.

Chapter 439 439. Cataclysm (1) I had no choice but to stare nkly at the system messages that appeared before my eyes. Dragon? Three ?s spirits have been absorbed. Challenger Seongyoon Han won against the incarnation of Dragon God, bringing her 18.4% closer to [Transcendence] < Divinity Ascension > As a special reward, the exclusive effect Dragon Bowl (SSS-) is acquired. From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon can receive additional corrections to acquire dragon-rted powers. Isnt that right? The mastery of the unique characteristic Necromancy increases by 14%. In fact, all the system messages that popped into sight are informing that something absurd has happened. Dragon? The divinity in themand of Three ? has been captured. The authority Divine Power is activated by satisfying the conditions. Divine extraction sessful. . Next moment. You have absorbed the spirit of the dragon? three ? and satisfied the special condition. You can acquire one of the divine spirits of the spirit of the dragon? three ? The potential divinities avable are < Dragon God > < Dragon Word > < Dragon Cloud > < Dragon Leg > < Dragon Po > < Yeokrin > < Dragon Oreum > < Thunder Rain > < Yeouiju > < Deungyongmun >. It doesnt appear. I even forgot to breathe. What is this again I was dumbfounded. The supernatural ability of necromancy was activated in the incarnation of the dragon god? The original necromancy power could only have been obtained from the incarnation, not from the main body. In fact, isnt it strange that necromancy seeded in extracting the spirit entirely from the incarnation of the dragon god? However, there was another reason why the invocation of necromancy on the incarnation of the Dragon God itself was not understood. Strange. That would be the case too C The Tower of Trials tolerates yourpulsive plunder to some extent. -The Tower of Trials activates the exclusive authority #A-087 [Change the Trial Break Reward] to change the Trial Clear Reward. C The Tower of Trials activates exclusive authority #A-087 [Changes to Break Through Trials], and the Trial Clear Reward is changed from to Able to trigger unique attributes and unique myths on one of the ancient deities. This is because from the beginning, this side is in a state where the Tower of Trials is restricted so that the spirit of the ancient deity cannot be extracted with necromancy. How the hell did this happen? At that, I frowned and thought about the reason why I was able to extract the spirit from the dragon gods incarnation with necromancy. At that time, the Tower of Trials prevented me from activating Necromancy and Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > on the Ancient Godhead. Necromancy and the restrictions on the activation of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > in the Tower of Trials will still remain. That wouldnt have changed much. Then, what is the reason why the unique characteristic Necromancy was activated for the dragons incarnation? Dragon God is a strong person who has reached the borderline of transcendence beyond an ancient deity that is not even a higher level deity or even a formal deity, so does it make sense to be able to activate necromancy? I stood still and thought about it for several minutes, but I couldnte up with a logical answer. If the Tower of Trials doesnt release any special restrictions on me, it means Ive achieved special conditions to extract the spirit of an ancient deity from somewhere Its not like I couldnt even guess why. Could it be that, ording to the system rules, a special judgment was made that it was not an ancient deity because the incarnation of the dragon god was not the body of the dragon god but the incarnation of the target? incarnation. No matter what the dragon god used, he must have been able to infuse the incarnation with vast divine powerparable to the main body. However, no matter how much the dragon god can impart overwhelming divine power from the main body to the incarnation, it is still the incarnation, not the main body of the dragon god. Necromancy was able to extract the spirit from the incarnation of the godhead, but in reality, it was only possible to obtain a piece of the spirit rather than a whole spirit. Doubts slowly dissipate. However, this time, thanks to the dragon god injecting excessive power from the main body into the incarnation, it doesnt make sense if I assume that I was able to obtain one spirit rather than a piece of spirit through necromancy. If I had to question it, should I say it was a miracle that urred due to coincidence and coincidence? Unlike the general incarnations Ive seen so far, the dragon god could have created an incarnation with divine power simr to the main body. And that is what caused a phenomenon close to a kind of entity judgment error or bug in which Necromancy extracts only one spirit, not a piece of spirit, from an incarnation that is not the main body of the Dragon God. Its amazing. In other words, thanks to the dragon gods special incarnation operation method, it was not enough to activate necromancy, and because of errors in recognition and judgment in the system, snow bowling urred, where even the opportunity to obtain the dragon gods conceptual divinity urred. DHeh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh . DRather, thanks to the dragon goding as an incarnated body rather than the main body, he was able to obtain one of the conceptual divinities possessed by an existence closer to a transcendental being than that ancient godhead probably. DWell, among the powers you possessed, you also had the ability to forcibly obtain good fortune. When you think about it, thats not surprising anymore. well, I think so too about that part. It made sense. Among the divine abilities and special powers obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials, dont they have several abilities that artificially increase the element of luck itself? Perhaps one of the divinitys supernormal abilities or special powers that this side possessed might have caused some kind of unobtrusive luck-raising ability. But I think it would have been unfair if I had risked my life and fought, but I couldnt get even this. But apart from that, this wasnt the result of pure luck. In the end, if I hadnt fought against an incarnation of the same level as the main body of the Dragon God and hadnt won, I wouldnt even have this luck. In fact, if he had not won after risking his life against an incarnation with overwhelming power that was notcking in divine power evenpared to the main body of the dragon god, he would not have been able to get his hands on even luck. Then, I dont see it as particrly fortunate. and. Because it is unknown now whether this will be great luck or good luck out of misfortune. Not even that. Its a situation where most of the ancient deities watching the war of the gods noticed something strange, right? I continued talking, remembering what the Dragon God had said before the incarnation was destroyed. Like the dragon god said, if you realize that I am an existence that never existed in real history, I dont know what kind of melee I will have to fight. Most of the ancient deities trapped in the war of the gods might be looking for this side, and the author of the time god said that time and space were twisted openly. It is unknown whether even the dark gods or demons will take my side. Right now, in the war of the gods, the god of darkness and the god of demonic time appear on the northern front, southern front, and eastern front, respectively, showing an overwhelming difference in skill. Then, its not just about looking at this and blindly dismissing it as great luck. This isnt pure luck. Because now Im not even sure if Ill be able to survive until the War of the Gods is over. Its just a reward like the sweet rain of a drought that can slightly increase your chances of survival in the war of the gods. So Then there was only one thing to do. Right now, its time to take a risk and be stronger rather than taking it easy thinking its just luck. next moment. ! In the blink of an eye, the power of necromancy was activated, and the spirit extracted from the incarnation of the dragon god changed into power and melted into his body. *** Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-! Necromancy is activated in an instant, and the spirit extracted from the incarnation of the dragon god changes into power and spreads throughout the body. Dragon? Uses themand of Three ? to permanently increase stats. Muscle strength increased by 547 Agility increased by 543 Stamina increased by 446 Magic power increased by 771 It has increased. Durability has increased by 687. Concept has increased by 211. Perhaps because it is the incarnation of the Dragon God, not the main body, the system message indicating themand information is crushed here and there, but the increase in all stats is remarkable. It was worth it. Hard! Not only physical abilities, but also magic abilities and conceptual abilities have risen to an unprecedented level, so you can feel that not only the magical power that has settled in the body, but also the conceptual divinities are getting stronger at once. Conditions satisfied. Transformation acquisition of unique characteristics was determined by random probability. However, that was not the end. Dragon? Absorbs the unique characteristics of three ? Before I knew it, one of the detailed effects of Necromancy, [Tamcheon], was activated and even a unique skill was being created. Acquisition of the unique skill, The Beginning Dragon (S). It seems that Necromancy acquired it by recing some of the dragon gods unique temperament with a unique skill Inherent Skill C Beginning Dragon (S) ) Proficiency level C 100% Basic effect-The opportunity and qualification to acquire the power of the primordial dragon are inherited and engraved in the users soul.

(2) C .] Detailed effect (3) C . Detailed effect (4) C . Detailed effect (5) C . I couldnt read any proper skill information because I hadnt achieved all the prerequisites to perfectly acquire the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning. However As the sessor of the Dragon God, I have to obtain a deeply rted concept divinity in some way? Somehow, it didnt seem that difficult to perfectly acquire the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning. You have absorbed the spirit of the dragon? three ? and satisfied the special condition. You can acquire one of the divine spirits of the spirit of the dragon? three ? The potential divinities avable are < Dragon God > < Dragon Word > < Dragon Cloud > < Dragon Leg > < Dragon Po > < Yeokrin > < Dragon Oreum > < Thunder Rain > < Yeouiju > < Deungyongmun >. It doesnt appear. Doesnt that mean that the unique skills will bepletely unlocked no matter what I get from this? Thats because this side is already at a crossroads where you can select and acquire a supernormal ability of a divinity that can obtain any one of the conceptual divinities possessed by the Dragon God. Chapter 440 440. Cataclysm (2) Dragon? By absorbing the spirit of Three ?, the special conditions have been met. Dragon? You can learn one of the divinities possessed by the spirits of the Three ? The potential divinities that can be acquired at present are < Dragon God > < Dragon Word > < Dragon Cloud > < Dragon Kak > < Dragon Cannon > < Yeok Rin > < Dragon Oreum > < Thunder Rain > < Yeouiju > < Deungyongmun > . I feel overwhelmed by the number of divinities that are iparable to the ancient gods and higher gods I have seen so far. Even if he was a dragon god, one of the three ancient deities called the rulers of this universe, he had never imagined that he would possess so many supernatural powers. The most frightening thing is that this is nothing more than the divinity possessed by the incarnation of the Dragon God. Not even that. Didnt all of these divinity acquisition options that appeared in front of me originate from the dragon gods incarnation? Perhaps, since it was not the main body of the Dragon God, but an incarnation, the Dragon Gods divinity and conceptual power could have been more than this. Well, isnt it so strange that the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God are strong people in this universe who even the ancient deities are in awe of? After bing immortal by bing one concept existing in the universe and divinity itself, how long did he have to live to umte this much power? Because no one really knows when those three ancient gods actually existed in this universe. And what does it mean that, despite being a power that surpasses even that ancient deity, it has reached the borderline of the transcendent and has not taken a single step beyond that? It was simple. It meant that simply by umting divine power indefinitely, one could not cross the borderline of the transcendent. In order to be a transcendent, rather than just vaguely building supernormal abilities of divinity or mythology, some special opportunity to overturn the providence may be needed. Bing a Transcendentalist must be more difficult than I thought. However, it wouldnt be very meaningful to think about what it would take to be a transcendent here. After putting aside my useless thoughts, I decided to choose which of the Dragon Gods Divine Supernatural abilities to choose. Looking at all the ancient deities, high-ranking deities, and formal deities that I saw while climbing the Tower of Trials, there was no existence that had so many diverse divinities and concepts. so it was expected Maybe the key to shortening the time and process to get there, even if you cant be a transcendental person, might be in the supernatural ability of the dragon gods divinity. In fact, depending on which of the conceptual divinities remaining in the incarnation of the Dragon God, you may be able to possess a level of strength that is different from before. Isnt the war of the gods also a situation that shows unrest just before a storm rages? There is no guarantee that there is absolutely no possibility of fighting the Gods of Darkness, Demon Gods, and Dragon Gods again. Therefore, it was the most ideal thing to swallow the power obtained from the dragon gods incarnation without waste. Only Anyway, I dont know what the hell to choose. It was not easy to decide what kind of supernormal ability to obtain from the incarnation of the Dragon God. DIt was really embarrassing. obviously. DHaving a lot of divine supernormal abilities is definitely good, but thats fine Because of that, Im rather confused about which divine supernormal abilities to acquire. I have no idea which one would be best. In fact, Dam Chun-wu also said that as if this side was worth worrying about. DHmm The supernatural powers of the divine being used by the incarnation of the Dragon God are the divine < Dragon Word > and the divine < Thunder Rain >. Because those two were everything. Not only the divine < Dragon God >, but also the divine < Yongpo > and the divine < Yeokrin >. The divinity < Yongsin > can be regarded as a core concept deity that symbolizes the Yongsin itself, but I dont know where all the other divinities are used. Its not like everyones unique ability is intuitively revealed in the concept name of divinity. At those words, the hilt of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rang, and at the same time Damcheonwus words continued. DIn other words In short, it means that it is an adventure to choose a supernormal ability of a divinity other than the divinity < Dragon Word > or the divinity < Thunder Rain > that the incarnation of the dragon god has already shown how to use. well, thats what you said. Picking any divinity other than those two here is tantamount to a mad gamble. DIf thats the case, Ill advise you that you dont have to gamble like a gambler. It is a great fortune that may or may not happen once in ten thousand years. It wouldnt even be a trivial joke to pick a joke here. I guess so. But for some reason, Dam Chun-wus words did not end there. DAnd Im telling you this because Im afraid youre going to do something really futile, even though youre probably already guessing that its a foolish choice He speaks in a worried voice, as if hes worried that this side will do something wrong. He spat out words of advice. DDont think about choosing the divine < Dragon God > no matter what. If you get the divine < Dragon God >, you never know what kind of disaster wille. Do you understand As the other side has spent a long time together within the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, it seems that it is not difficult to notice what kind of thoughts and worries I have. -her. I dont know if theres such a thing as a real thought or if youre blinded by power and ignore the facts you already know. misunderstanding. Do you know what I was thinking and say that? -what the. Do I even have to tell you in detail what you guys are imagining? How wide a guy like you is. Well, the divinity < Yongsin > is the power that means the ancient deity itself, so isnt it expected that transcendental power will be obtained if the concept divinity is obtained? was the pinnacle. DTsk tsk. Why were you surprised that there was no mistake in any one ce? Its obvious what you mean when you know how obsessed with power you are. can you not know To be honest, I saw it as a great opportunity to obtain the < Dragon God >, the divinity that represents the Dragon God itself. I dont know what kind of power the divine < Dragon God > actually possesses, but one thing is certain: it implicitly captures the very existence of the Dragon God. Perhaps, as can be seen from the intuitive name of its unique concept, the divine < Dragon God > will be able to obtain an element that is directly rted to the foundation of the existence of the Dragon God with a very high probability. Mo or do. Its kind of a gamble, but its worth a try. If things go well, I might be able to inherit the dragon gods power intact. Did it look like hitting an egg on a rock from the other side? C Stupid bastard. chilly voice. -under! what? You said that you would acquire the element directly rted to the dragon god itself in the divine < dragon god >? Are you insane? Have I forgotten that divinity is not a force made up of pure concepts? Its ridiculous. A cold scolding followed. DThe divinity < Dragon God > is the same conceptual divinity as the dragon god itself, so that dragon gods ego and subjectivity must be mixed in it. Just as you maintain your ego with your divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death > rather than your brain, which is part of your body, that dragon gods gigantic ego must have spread its roots deep. . DHow will you respond if the divine < Dragon God > erodes your divinity and divinity and shakes the individual ego of Han Seong-yoon or swallows it whole? I can solve that somehow DOr even if its not that, if the divinity < Dragon God > is a concept divinity that fully expresses the existence of the Dragon God, then there are two Dragon God beings in this universe. Existential contradictions will inevitably follow. How are you going to ovee the inevitable contradiction of existence and the deterioration of replication that may arise from it? Couldnt we try to do that as well? -no. It was firm. -Dont say it. its overkill In fact, since you cant get a high profitpared to the risk in the first ce, its just an act of suicide that doesnt work even with gambling. It has no value whatsoever. DYoud better give up this time. Is that so The other side didnt seem to have even the slightest intention of responding positively to my selection of the divine < Dragon God >. yes. I know roughly what you mean. Well, but thats it. Even if you say that, there seems to be one misunderstanding. DA misunderstanding? yes. But Why do you know how to quit here just because I think this is a gamble with little chance of sess? -? What do you mean? Whether or not to choose the divine < Dragon God > in the first ce is entirely up to my thoughts and judgment. In fact, Damcheonwu, who is nothing more than the weapon ego of the top-notch item called Blood Heaven Demon Sword, cannot affect anything this side does. DWhat what? Now hold on! this person! crazy guy!? Cant you stop doing that! Then you know what will happen and do it!! Nothing to worry about. Hold-. Now, he didnt care at all about what kind of shouts came from the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. I just decided to get the divine < Dragon God > in that instant. However [] [Selectionplete.] [Divinity < Dragon God > will be reced with potential.] What the other side said is not wrong. The divine < Yongsin > was a conceptual divinity and the essence of the ego that contained the existence of the Yongsin, a strong person who differs from the ancient gods. It was the time when the concept and essence of divinity containing the existence of the only Dragon God in this universe now dwelled not only in the Dragon God but also in me and was engraved deep in my soul. . ah. Something is twisted. An error urred. Is the divine < dragon god > asleep? In the blink of an eye, the enormous divine power spread throughout the body went wild all over the ce, and I felt a terrible pain stain my head white. This could be impossible to endure any longer with pure willpower At that moment, following the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > and other instincts, the power to prevent the divinity and soul from twisting I pulled everything together and activated it. Awesome!! But is that not enough? Fuhwaak-! Unfortunately, the divine power ran wild all over the body and turned into the divine starlight, and in the end, it was not controlled at all, and it poured out from the eyes as well as from the mouth and overflowed outside. C! Consciousness was shaking. It was the moment when the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > and the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > were quickly adjusted to keep consciousness from disappearing. Now, the divinity < Dragon God > swells inside the body, and I can no longer suppress the reaction between the divinities, and I feel the limit approaching. Conditions satisfied. Divinity < Dragon God > is temporarily suspended due to an error caused by user Han Seong-yoon. cut-off. His bodily senses had already been paralyzed for a long time, and his divine power as well as his magical power were out of control. It just kept the divinity and self from being fundamentally polluted or eroded by the transcendental myth < Spirit Tuning > as well as the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >. Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo! The level of divinity and soul is increasing enormously Even so, he vaguely noticed. All of a sudden, not only the level of divinity that this side has, but also the level of the soul are going through a synergistic effect and are achieving tremendous growth. Perhaps, if this divinity < Dragon God > could endure withoutpletely destroying the divinity and ego, it seemed that he could be stronger than he imagined. I have to endure more In order to survive the war of the gods to the end, to directly check where the Tower of Trials began, to be reborn as a transcendental person, he endured everything. Tick-. But it was a crowd. Chijijijijijijik! Consciousness flowed somewhere and was cut off. *** Primordial Dragon. [The dragon of the beginning pure and supreme immortal being who was fullypleted from the moment his life was given. All dragons, including me, wherever you are in this universe, will worship and serve you. ] ancient deity. [Dragon god! please please! Please allow me to receive the holy blessings of the Dragon God! The power to defeat the demon king and demons that throw the world into chaos! A warrior-! I want to be a hero! ] the end of the universe. [ ha ha ha!! did you say dragon god? Its beyond imagination! The pitiful earthworms, who call themselves dragons, came all the way to the Demon Realm and stiffened their heads. It deserves to be called a favorite enemy!! ] From the moment he opened his eyes to hundreds of years, he was worshiped and revered by all dragons, and now recognized by the two ancient deities in turn. Thes lifespan hase to an end as it was not enough that an unknown was devastated by the aftermath of the ancient deities fighting each other with all their might. . The unknown announced the end of the world and died as it was dyed ck as if announcing the end of the life of a star. ah. And from the ce where the unknown was dyed ck and died, the primordial dragon and the head of the universe who was born as an ancient deity gazed into the distance. stuffy. The silver-haired girl looked up at the universe with jet-ck eyes thatcked vitality, and closed her eyes a few secondster. Why has no one ever asked me for my proper name? Despite the passage of hundreds of years, he was still worshiped as a dragon god, and he wished for a being close to a transcendental being who was now recognized as the head of the universe. Yongsin. Thats all. is that me? Or Its easy for some, hard for others. what am I? For her, it was a wish close to thetter. I want to have a name that is truly my own, not a cold and stiff name like a dragon god. I just want to have my own name that others can call me because I like anyone. Now I dont want to do anything like a dragon god. And further from there, he said that he wanted to live as himself by throwing away the eternal destiny and divine stigma of being the Dragon God. It was a desire to spend a lifetime as an ordinary being, not a cosmic being born with perfect power from the beginning, not a divine < dragon god > or a primitive dragon. Its boring and boring. That was the dragon gods first andst wish that could nevere true. *** A lot of time has passed. The dragon gods life did not change at all, and after being recognized as the absolute of the universe, he had to ovee even more terrible boredom. Then one day, she came to a to make some apostles, so she went there and saw something interesting. Have you inherited divinity from ancestors to descendants? I saw an apostle of a religion serving a dragon god passing on the power of an apostle to a saint under hismand. Could that be possible for me too? It was a light of hope. As a dragon god, if he has qualifications and qualifications that are no different from mine, since hes the sessor, wouldnt he be able to pass on all of my power? The dragon gods two eyes shone brightly like a child dreaming. I can do that. Perhaps the Dragon God has never seen it since he was born, and there may be at least one person who will inherit the stigma of his divinity and soul. Its not impossible at all. And if you find a being that can do that, you might be able to build a friendship with such a person by calling each other by name. Like parents and children, or like friends, you will be able to build a rtionship that can relieve your loneliness, whether it is him or anything else. wish wille true The sessor Yongshin inted his imagination full of hope and happiness while giggling. Then they might be master and disciple! The hopeful adventure began like that. *** How much time has passed? . The dragon gods eyes were filled with indescribable tiredness. Lets stop. Its okay now. I dont need a sessor. She is no longer confused and has decided to ept reality. Because Ive been alone ever since the beginning. The sessor of the dragon god does not exist anywhere in this universe. Chapter 442 442. Cataclysm (4) Satisfying the unlock condition. The unique skill, The Beginning Dragon has been unlocked. As if blinding your eyes in an instant, system messages appeared and at the same time, I felt something changed. This The supernatural powers of the numerous divinities of this side did not change much, but on the contrary, the part about the soul seemed to have changed. Its strange. primordial dragon. I dont know why the unique skill I obtained by extracting it from the incarnation of the dragon god through necromancy was different from other unique skills I had acquired so far. Shall we say that something fundamentally changed from the depths of the soul, which is unknown somewhere, and the basis of the soul itself has changed? Seeing that it doesnt really disappear even in the transcendental myth < Absolutely Unchanging >, it seems like a positive element has been added to me . I dont know. In order to find out about that part, I continued my guess based on all the abilities and experiences I had umted until I became an ancient god. Gooo-. But . That, too, was only for a moment. Before I knew it, I had no choice but to admit that I couldnt grasp all the changes in power with the divine < Dragon God > and the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning. From the beginning, all of the powers this side had depended on divinity or magical power, so unfortunately, it was difficult because they were not used to dealing with only soul rather than divine. Its the first time that not only the concept and ss of the divine supernormal ability have changed, but the basis and ss of the soul, so it cant be helped. Of course there is a solution. If it is difficult to figure out the skill effect of the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning by yourself, isnt it just a matter of looking at the system description? However, it is unlikely that we will be able to find out in detail about the part that is not expressed in the system description of the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning . This is a risk worth taking. And Unique Skill C The Beginning Dragon (S) Proficiency Level C 100% Basic Effect C The opportunity and qualifications to gain the same power as the Beginning Dragon are inherited and engraved in the users soul. However, although the user acquired the conceptual divinity suitable for the sessor of the Dragon God, he could not fully inherit the power because he did notpletely acquire the concept and supernormal ability of the corresponding divinity. The qualifications of a great soul that can be a tribal god representing itself have blossomed. Users are limited to creatures of the Dragon or sub-dragon species and are imprinted as objects of absolute worship and reverence by all, and divinity and faith are automatically extracted. Detailed Effects (2 ) C The user has the greatest lineage in a race, so instead of normal blood, Dragon God Blood flows throughout the body. For the user, all damage received from beings equal to or lower than himself or the level of divinity is reduced by 15%. Detailed Effects (3) C The user is a being born with the best potential in a race. Once every 10 minutes, the power of divine, soul and magic permanently grows very little. but it stops when it reaches a certain level. Special additional corrections are applied in dealing with divine power and magical power.] Detailed effects (4) C ???. Detailed effects (5) C ???. Huh? ordingly, the moment I read and saw the system description window for the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning. What is this again Seeing the system messages in front of my eyes, I couldnt help butugh at the absurdity. Whats so many? It was worth it. Even if this is different from the first time I read the system description window for the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning, isnt it too different? Less than an hourter, the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning, unlike before, had been transformed into a tremendous level of detailed effects. -Detailed effect (1) C The user has developed the qualifications of a great soul to be a tribal god representing a tribe itself. Users are limited to creatures of the Dragon or sub-dragon species and are imprinted as objects of absolute worship and awe to all, and divinity and faith are automatically extracted. Its a great spec right from the start. Is this why the soul, not the conceptual divinity or other abilities, has changed? tribal god. So far, I have seen existences such as high-level deities, official deities, or native gods, but I have never heard or seen tribal gods. Possibly, the user has developed the qualifications of a great soul who can be a tribal god representing a tribe itself. Judging from the description of , it seems that this is the reason why the soul has changed. Tribal God It doesnt seem to represent the level of strength separate from the hierarchy of divinity. Its mysterious. Of course, there were some guesses. Didnt you get various information from the memories and emotions of the dragon god while extracting and acquiring the divine < dragon god > through necromancy? Its still only a guess, but I thought that the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning would be close to the special qualities that are essential to be a Dragon God. If a native deity means a deity based on a, can we say that a tribal deity means a deity based on a tribe itself? However In fact, it seemed to be a phenomenon close to a bug in terms of games. It shouldnt have been possible for me to qualify as a soul as a tribal god with my unique skill Dragon of the Beginning. This is because in this universe, two tribal gods representing one tribe cannot exist in the same generation. and-. Its fun. So it was meaningful. The probability of sess is high. If this meant that the Dragon Gods power as a tribal god could be inherited, the opportunity to use it woulde sooner orter. If I can face the Dragon God again in the next War of the Gods, Ill be sure to inherit the power because theres a precedent. Thats very certain. food. At that, I couldnt hold back theughter that naturally flowed out and spit it out while examining the rest. -Detailed effect (2) C The user has the greatest lineage in a race, so instead of normal blood, Dragon God Blood flows throughout the body. Reduces all damage received by the user by 15% from divine powers and those with the same or lower spiritual power. dragon blood. Among the powers I have obtained so far, there are parts that allow me to exercise the unique abilities of any race or lineage, so it was not an unusual case. Well, since he was a tribal god representing the dragon species itself, something worthy of being called the lineage of a god might flow. What But it wasnt something to be taken lightly. All damage reduced by 15%? Can you reduce all damage done by 15%, assuming your opponent is equal or weaker? If the unique ability of < Spirit Indomitability >, which is included in the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, is activated, wouldnt it just reduce all damage by 15%? In other words, if you use < Spirit Tuning >, the transcendental myth, and engage in a melee within the 4 minutes usage time of < Spirit Indomitability >, your win rate will inevitably increase. under. I sighed as I guessed how the Dragon God was able to fight so tenaciously as an incarnated body. Damn it. So even then, the Dragon God endured that far as an incarnation, not a body. Somehow, it didnt seem like the damage would go in easily no matter how hit. Of course, now, thanks to the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning, not only the Dragon God but also I have gained simr powers, so I decided to think positively. -Detailed effect (3) C The user is a being born with the best potential in a race. Once every 10 minutes, the power of divine, soul and magic is permanently strengthened a little bit. but it stops when it reaches a certain level. In dealing with divine power and magical power, special additional corrections are applied. But it was hard. . Even if you dont do anything, the power of divine, soul, and magic increases once every 10 minutes? Even if Im not doing anything in particr, I can be stronger as time passes? Of course, it was written that the effect of the automatic permanent enhancement would stop when a certain level was reached, whether it was divinity, soul, or magical power. Actually, after about 10 minutes, the divinity, soul, and magical power became stronger to some extent. By the way In fact, even now, when he could im to be one of the strongest of the ancient deities in his own way, he became stronger as time passed. If so, what kind of hierarchy does the certain level at which the permanent enhancement of divinity, soul, and magical power, referred to in the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning, refers to? Could it be possible to reach the borderline of the transcendent, which is no different from the end of an ancient deity, just naturally over time? At this point, you can feel how those who became ancient gods from the beginning, such as the dark gods, demons, or dragon gods, lived with benefits outside of the standard. What the hell is all this stuff about? It was a truly insignificant difference. It is said that the Dragon God has a limit just because he is a primitive dragon, but he can be strong without any effort or hardship. Even more so, now that this side has received simr benefits with their unique skill, Dragon of the Beginning, they realized that they had no choice but to acquire overwhelming power over time. Moreover, this is not all, how about adding the detailed effects of unique skills that have not yet been unlocked that do not appear in the system description. Not even that. Detailed effect (4) and Detailed effect (5) in the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning are not unlocked because the divinity < Dragon God > was notpletely obtained. Considering all of that, the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning was a power that had no choice but to have a great value. Its absurd. Perhaps even the dark god or demon god has something simr to or equivalent to the dragon god. Hey, this is why, regardless of whether its a dark god, a demon god, or a dragon god, everyone seems pathetic to struggle to be a high-ranking deity or an official deity It became clear why he looked at the other ancient deities, who were said to be eternal gods, as if they were pitiful. I dont think you understand why even the general ancient gods, let alone high-ranking gods and formal gods, try to be so strong. In the first ce, for those three ancient deities, strength is obtained without doing anything special. Its bittersweet. A line is drawn. The starting line is different. From the beginning, those who were destined to be born again as ancient gods and those who were not were bound to be different. Kwaaaak-. At that, I squinted my eyes and squeezed my hands tightly. But with this, I definitely realized it. I was sure If I inherit the power as the sessor of the dragon god, it is possible to reach the borderline of the transcendent without too much difficulty. Only if you can inherit the power of one of the three ancient deities, the Dragon God, will you be able to reach the borderline of the transcendent without wanting anything from the Tower of Trials anymore. The rest must be an opportunity. In order to be a transcendentalist, there was a need to face feats and opportunities that even the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods could not achieve. To be a Transcendentalist, its not enough to fight an ancient deity or ughter a higher or formal deity. With Shinhwas < Possibility of Transcendence >, it has the potential to surpass even the ancient deities, but even taking that into consideration, dont you feel it is somehowcking? I dont know if Ill seed or fail Thinking about whether Ill be able to seed in the things I need to do from now on, I felt a sense of tension and anxiety. Because Ivee too far to turn around now. but for a while. Ill have no choice but to bump into it no matter what happens in the future. It was then. Paaa-! There was no time to be lost in thought. It was not long after I finished reading the system description window for the unique skill Dragon of the Beginning. I dont know why, but a pure white divine sphere appeared not too far from where I was standing. Is that It was the divine energy that he had seen recently. A god of creation? At that moment, I muttered that while looking at the pure white sacred orb that appeared in the sky over the Western Front. Divinity < Battleness > is activated and spreads the voice of the divinity within a certain range. [ are you listening there? I dont know what the hell he did to survive there. I cant even be happy that I survived. ] At that moment, from the divine sphere floating in the sky of the western front, a divine voice resounded loudly, as if the god of creation was speaking directly. [ If you stay there any longer, you may get in trouble, so return quickly to the headquarters of the Orderly Camp. ] It was immediately clear why the god of creation used the divinity < Force > to tell the story like that. [I dont know why, but in the war of the gods, all the ancient deities who had maintained a neutral position, which should have never moved, came together and started ruining the game. ] Its nothing else [Its a situation where the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, as well as the God of Time, join in. ] It was simple. [If you donte back quickly, everything could be over before you give them the promised reward.] It was a sound announcing that the war of the gods was slowly approaching its end. Chapter 443 443. Cataclysm (5) In fact, it is not even a story that can be called a thunderstorm. Well, to the God of Creation, it seems that the order camp is sure to be defeated, so it wouldnt be strange if they were in such a hurry I heard that unknown beings are joining in and overturning the te. I know that the war of the gods has be a mess with four of the ancient deities, but I never thought the reaction woulde so quickly. However, if the god of creation knew that this side had met the dragon god and was half-dead and then revived, I just didnt think that he would immediately ask for help in that way. The other side must have been convinced that the war of the gods woulde to an end if they procrastinated any longer. Is that why? And it also means that now we are in a crisis situation where we have to borrow help from an outsider like me who doesnt even know where it came from. At that, I looked at the divine orb floating in the sky over the Western Front and touched my lips. It was ambiguous. Thanks to that, the god of creation will no longer wonder where I came from and why I came here Lucky or bad, I dont know. Perhaps, on the contrary, the god of creation might call me in and try to interrogate me under the pretext of borrowing power from this side. It was worth it. Seeing that the other side has be so urgent, it may be that the opportunity hase to y an active role in the war of the gods without any doubt as I wished. However, even so, they must be aware that it is close to an anomaly for the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods to rampage in earnest without expressing their neutrality. C God of time. That nasty seer said there was an impurity somewhere. Did you say that space-time seems to be warped because of that? But now that I see it, I think its because of you, so Im saying it. Suddenly, I remembered the words that the Dragon God had given me with pure goodwill. -Isnt it? In fact, in this universe, it is not enough to directly govern the high-level concept of death itself, and everyone cannot know the being reborn as an ancient deity. I came here and knew you for the first time. Every word I heard from her was advice that reasonably foresaw the worst that would happen in the future. -Ahaha! isnt it strange What do you think everyone would think if an ancient deity found out about this? Well, at least no one will see you favorably or think youre not suspicious. At worst, theyll all try to catch you and interrogate you. I was worried. There is nothing wrong with what the dragon god said then. Its obvious what will happen when I return to the headquarters of the order camp and find out that the war of the gods has been ruined because of me. But but its obvious that just because I dont go back to the orderly camp doesnt mean theres anything particrly sharp about it. That too is only for a moment. The activation of Divinity < Battle Star > has expired due to the expiration of the usage time. [ I will wait for you to return. ] Farah-. The moment he saw that the activation of Divinity < Battleness > had ended and the sphere of divinity floating high in the sky had disappeared. Folding Vortex In an instant, space and space collided with each other and began to fold. The scenery of the Western Front in front of me was distorted and I felt my body was about to move to a new ce. Anyway, no matter what this side does, wont the anomaly that urred once in the war of the gods disappear due to the butterfly effect? Then it was nothing to worry about. Wherever I go, if it bes known that I am the main culprit of this abnormal phenomenon, I will have no choice but to be interrogated by the ancient deities in some way. obviously. In that case, its a safer way to move with my body on the side of the orderly camp that needs my strength. Of course, there is a possibility that the orderly camp knows that I am the main culprit of this abnormal phenomenon and tries to suppress it by force. Even if thats not the case, Im not particrly worried about whether the orderly camp is suspicious of me or if they try to suppress me by force. But why? If I were to engage in a pure contest of strength, I didnt think I would lose to anyone. As long as there were no non-specified beings such as the God of Darkness, the Demon God, or the Dragon God, even if a few more people with a divine hierarchy simr to the God of Creation gathered, it was unlikely that they would be defeated unterally. Arent there only those who have power equal to or lower than that of the god of creation? Even if the God of Creation, the God of Law, and even the God of Miracles all work together to suppress me by force, I wonder if I would be pleased. It was not unfounded confidence. That would be the case too Then theres no way Ill lose. Now, thanks to defeating the incarnation of the Dragon God, I am also trying to reach a new level of divinity that is different from the general ancient deity. Shall we go? Thats very certain. *** Chak-. In the blink of an eye, he grafted space and space with the ck magic [Folding Vortex] and jumped over. I had to pay attention to the numerous high-ranking deities and formal deities of the orderly camp that had been left on the western front. However, in reality, in an emergency like this, it is impossible to lead the gods on the western front and lead them here. Well, since all of the top deities and formal deities who were on the Western Front in the first ce were defeated soldiers who ran away at least once, its probably not worth worrying too much about. Perhaps while this side is doing this, the northern front, southern front, and eastern front are being smashed by the ancient deities. Now we have to meet with the God of Creation and other ancient deities in the Order camp ande up with a solution on how to get through this mess. So, Inded in an unknown forest and followed the god of proof to a secret ce in the forest I had visited before. Gggg!! In an instant, a huge gray stone gate appeared in the middle of the forest and opened. Originally, if the hidden door leading to the headquarters of the order camp did not appear, it was my intention to force it open even with the power of this side Luckily, the god of creation seemed to have noticed and took some measures so that I could enter at any time, so it was useless. I went inside without using any force. Jerk-jerk-. And [Im back as I thought] As I walked a little way into the headquarters of the Order camp, a familiar figure who looked exhausted came out to meet me. The god of proof looks at you with tired eyes. ] was the god of proof. They say that ancient deities have all appeared on the Northern Front, Southern Front, and Eastern Front, and it seems that half of the Proof Gods havee back to life. Unlike thest time I saw him, the holy relics all over his body were in tatters, and his eyes were shining with emptiness, like a being whose mind and body were somehow broken. yes. Well, by chance, I came face to face with the dragon god, and I barely survived and came back. The god of proof also seems to be no different from me. [ quick-quick. Thats too much of a joke. Arent you and I very different? Do you really see me that way in your eyes? I dont think so. ] The god of proof continued with his eyes full of emptiness and fatigue. [ the Eastern Front. One of the two ancient deities that appeared there was interested in my power, and only saved my life. I wasnt even an opponent at all. It wasnt even a fight. ] . [ I have already heard the news about you from the god of creation, so I know it well. I dont know how the heck he did it, but he seems to have seeded in repelling the incarnation of the Dragon God. ] I, too, only survived because the dragon god appeared as an incarnated body. Actually, I wasnt that different from them. If the dragon god had appeared as a body rather than an incarnation, it would have ended there as an ancient god. In the first ce, like the other side, if I hadnt hinted to the dragon god that I was a lumber to be the sessor, in addition, if the dragon god hadnt chosen the option ofing as an incarnation rather than the main body, everything would have ended. Rather than that, Id like to hear about battles in ces other than my own. but for a while. You just told me that one of the two ancient deities that appeared on the Eastern Front survived because of an interest in the God of Proof, what happened to that? So I turned the subject aside and asked what had happened elsewhere, instead of talking about useless things anymore. [ well. It didnt mean much. When the two ancient deities, the God of Time and the God of Light, appeared, the God of Time showed interest in me. It is said that a high-ranking deity with a conceptual divinity of the future foreknowledge is rare. ] Future Foresight. This side had already borrowed the power of future foresight from the god of proof once in the Tower of Trials, so I understood what he was saying. Most of the ancient deities I have seen so far are superior in strength, but they do not have a conceptual deity capable of foreseeing the future like the god of proof. Perhaps the concept of the future foresight system of the God of Proof was rare even for that ancient deity. Perhaps because of that, the author of the God of Time, one of the two ancient deities who appeared on the Eastern Front, seems to have shown interest in the God of Proof [God of Time. It is said that the ominous old monster can also foresee the future. thats right isnt it It is a being that has be immortal as a divinity that governs the concept of time itself. thats why i survived ] do you know what the god of that time said /to you/ at that time? Please be as detailed as possible. I also want to know what the God of Time said. It seems that various ancient deities, including the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, are following his persuasion, starting with the God of Time. If I can tell what kind of existence the God of Time is, Id rather do that. When I asked him such a question with my eyes narrowed, the god of proof answered as if it was not particrly difficult. [ well. They say space-time is twisted. It means that everything is real and not real. Then they forced me to use my future foresight concept divinity. I did that. For some reason, I couldnt even see any future. ] In short, do you mean that it is impossible to foresee the future by activating the divine supernormal ability? [ yes. And when I told the god of time, heughed it off like crazy He said he wasnt wrong. Then he said something like that to me. In the end, he said that all of this was a meaningless fight. ] . and then. [After that, the god of time mumbled various unknown words to himself like crazy, and then he told me something that I didnt know if it was a guess or a prophecy.] The next moment . [The war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, and everything is real, but it is only the remnants of non-existent shadows , and it is a false stage made for someone I had to feel that [ It was said that in the war of the gods, before the winner and the loser are divided, the seed of ascension will swallow everything and temper the vessel of the transcendent in chaos. ] I was able to recognize that it was myself without having to worry about who the hell the prophecy was referring to. Chapter 444 444. The god of time (1) thought. What does the story I heard from the god of proof actually mean? Deep in my thoughts, I tried to find the right answer, but soon realized that it was meaningless and gave up. I dont know if everything the God of Time said was spection, or if it was a concept divinity or a prophecy using special powers He didnt even have to worry. I have no choice but to say that he spoke about me by pointing to me, not anyone else. god of time. The unknown entity, presumed to be one of the ancient deities before the Tower of Trials appeared, seemed to have a vague idea of who it was and what kind of ce it was. In fact, such words could note out without noticing that the war of the gods was nothing more than a reenactment of a distant old story made possible by the Tower of Trials. The stories that the God of Time told the God of Proof are all rted to me. Before I knew it, I was feeling chills as I ruminated on a story that I did not know if it was a guess or a prophecy by the god of time. -The war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, and everything is real, but it is only the remnants of non-existent shadows, and it must be a false stage made for someone Somehow, the story the god of proof told me seemed to be spinning in my head. ?It was said that in the war of the gods, before the winner and the loser are divided, the seed of ascension will swallow everything and quench the vessel of the transcendent in chaos. It was worth it. I dont know where and how far the ancient deity known as the god of time knows, but doesnt he know too much about me? It was an existence so close to the truth that it gave me goosebumps to see it as an imitation made by the Tower of Trials. Although it sounds like the god of time was talking about catching clouds, in fact, he was referring to me from the Tower of Trials. sure The war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, the remnants of shadows that exist but do not exist, a false stage made for someone, etc The god of time has already said that this war of the gods is not real, but only a fake made by the Tower of Trials. He knew and said that. How the hell does the god of time know me? Not even that. Even that is not enough, arent the stories like seed of ascension or vessel of transcendence all of which cannot be seen as referring to someone other than this side? Even more so, if this side hadnt specifically decided what to do in the war of the gods, the god of time acted as if he already knew. To think that the seed of ascension would swallow everything and quench the vessel of the transcendent in chaos before the war of the gods was even divided between the winner and the loser How the hell do you know that? Perhaps the god of time knows that I am taking a gamble of some sort to be a transcendent in this war of gods Its too detailed to guess. At this point, you have no choice but to notice that what the god of time said is more like a prophecy rather than a guess. Even I havent yet nned how to prepare to be a transcendentalist in the War of the Gods In the first ce, I, the cause of the anomaly in the War of the Gods, also decided in detail what to do in the future. did not let go Could it be that the god of time made a prophecy by looking directly into the future to see what I would do? If so, the god of time acted as if he had judged how the war of the gods would end, so it meant that he had foreseen the future. I dont know. But If I think about it right now, there wont be any usible ie. That too was only for a moment. Before I knew it, I came to the conclusion that there would be no point in thinking about the god of time anymore, and I got out of my thoughts. It was only about 10 seconds that this side was lost in thought, but nevertheless, one of the higher gods, the god of proof, seemed to feel a sense of difference. The god of proof looks at you and reveals interest. [ Why is that? Do you have any guesses about what the god of time said? If thats the case, Id like to hear it too] However, even if the other side asks if Ive figured out something in my thoughts, I cant give you the information as it is. no. Its not like that. I also do not understand what the god of time said. sorry. Just like that, I frowned and replied as if I couldnt guess anything. [ hmm. It feels strange to hear that you are respected by an ancient deity like you and even apologized. Theres nothing to say Im sorry for Its not a very important story. ] The god of proof also answered indifferently, as if he knew that. However, the anxiety has not yet beenpletely resolved. If the God of Proof told this to others, wouldnt it cause problems in acting ording to the scenario I had in mind? After hesitating for a few seconds, I pretended to be okay and asked another question. yes. Anyway, I have a question for you. Did you tell the god of creation or the god of miracles about the prophecy of the god of time? Or But The god of proof hears you and frowns in displeasure. [Is that so? Why do I have to tell those silly dreamers the story of the god of time? I have no intention of telling those fools. ] It doesnt look like that. [If you, too, are thinking of telling those foolish things a story rted to the god of time, youd better think about it a little longer. ] The appearance of the other person almost getting angry as if he had heard a very unpleasant story. I dont know why, but I have a lot of bad feelings towards the God of Creation, the God of Miracles and the God of Law, so I dont have to worry about the words of the God of Time leaking out. It didnt seem like there would be any disruption to the existing n as this side thought. then I understand. It was luck. If an ancient deity, such as the God of Creation, had listened to what the God of Time said, it would have been difficult in many ways to act in the future. Seeing that other side show such a rejection reaction, even if I didnt say anything, the words of the god of time didnt seem likely to spread all over the ce. God of time. Besides that, you would have said that another ancient deity had appeared. Can you also tell us about that ancient deity? I wondered if there was anyone other than the God of Time who noticed that the war between the gods was fake and not real. [ Hmm. ] And. [ well. If its an ancient deity other than the god of time, it seems like hes talking about it I dont really have anything to say about him. He too was supposed to be ferocious, but he was too passive. ] Why? [Actually,pared to the god of time, what the god of light did is nothing. ] The name of an ancient deity that I had only seen once before was mentioned. *** God of light. Suddenly, when the name of an ancient deity was mentioned, I couldnt help but be surprised with my eyes wide open. I had encountered the god of light in the giant treebyrinth event held by the Tower of Trials, but after that, there wasnt much contact. Why is the god of light being mentioned here all of a sudden? But Its out of the blue. Hearing the story of the god of light rampaging in the war of the gods, I felt curious for some reason. For what reason did the god of light run amok in the war of the gods? Originally, the god of light that this side saw in the giant treebyrinth was quite rational and even moderate, unlike an ancient deity. I dont think the god of light Ive ever seen had a disposition to reveal ferocity There are no words. Its strange. At that, I shook off the embarrassment that welled up in my heart and parted my lips. Why did the God of Light run amok with the God of Time on the Eastern Front? [Its nothing. The God of Light only protested against the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles. It was a warning that he would not stand still if he was forced to hold himself in the war of the gods any longer. ] Are you referring to the god of light as the ancient deity that suddenly became rampant after belonging to the neutral camp that you mentioned while guiding me here? [Thats right. Rather than actively ughtering the gods belonging to the orderly camp, the god of light acted passively, pretending to be a gatekeeper to prevent the gods belonging to the orderly camp from increasing their power. Thats why I have nothing to say. ] It seems that the god of time and the god of light did not work together to stir up the eastern front. [God of time. I dont know what the hell that crazy old monster wants but I can clearly see what the light god wants. Unlike the others, he tends to pursue peace of mind. He listened to the words of the god of time and said he only did what he had to do. ] Is that so However, listening to the story over there, the god of light is not as strikingly brutal as I felt. There is no need to worry about how to exclude the god of light from the war of the gods yet. Even more so, listening to what the God of Proof said, the God of Light seemed to value his own safety and security the most, so it didnt seem like there would be much involvement in the war of the gods. Is there any other unusual news about the dark gods and demons that appeared on the northern and southern fronts? [ well. I dont know much about them. But since I left the Eastern Front two days ago, the God of Time has descended to the Southern Front and the Demon God has risen to the Eastern Front. I also didnt look closely, but I saw vaguely, so I cant give a definite answer. For now, it is. ] Two days ago [Hmm. dont swear As I said just now, I only found out information like this with the direction in which the divine energy moves or the presence of an enormous demonic energyparable to the Great Sea. If there was a mistake on my part, theres a good chance its incorrect information. ] I dont think so. The information this side knew could be wrong, so I asked for cross-validation, but there was nothing wrong. -Dont get your hopes up. The Dark God on the Northern Front, the Demon God on the Eastern Front, and the God of Time on the Southern Front. All of the ancient deities with a divine hierarchy simr to mine went there. When I think about what the dragon god said to me, I could see that most of those words were right. As she said, the God of Time went to the Southern Front and the Demon God went up to the Eastern Front, so the Dark God will also be on the Northern Front. Perhaps, listening to what the God of Proof said, unlike what we know, it seems that the positions of the somewhat ancient gods went back and forth But one thing was certain. The war of the gods has be practically impossible to fight any more. In fact, the war of the gods is no different from the end. In the War of the Gods, the side of order can no longer keep the bnce of power. Isnt it a situation where not only the three ancient gods, but also the unknown god of time, a strong man from a distant past, is wandering around the battlefield. Whether its the God of Creation, the God of Law, or the God of Miracles, I cant handle the appearance of a powerful person called the God of Time in addition to the three ancient gods. I wondered if it had reached a level where it was considered that there was little chance of victory for the orderly camp in the war of the gods. But if he called me, it must mean that he coulde up with a countermeasure. However, if the God of Creation, who knew that fact, had summoned this side while using his divinity < Heavenly >, it would not be that there is no solution to this problem at all. Anyway, thank you for answering my question. Now, I think I will have to go to the ce where the god of creation is. See youter. After that, I finished the conversation with the God of Proof and prepared to go to the Divine Realm < Model Garden > where the God of Creation is located. [ the god of creation. To that stupid ancient deity? Got it. Even if youre not here anyway, I also have work to do here. lets go ] And ordingly, when the God of Proof went to an unknown ce, I walked as the God of Proof guided me the other day. gg gg gg gg gg-. Shall we go? Now it was time to go into the tigers den on their own in order to set the table as they wished in the war of the gods. You have entered the divine realm < Model Garden >. Due to the exclusive effect Base of Creation in the divine realm < Model Garden >, the lost divinity and soul flow into the caster. Next moment . . In an instant, the air brushing the skin became cool, and at the same time, a space of divinity that was separated from reality opened up. *** Chak-. The scenery of a familiar meadow that I have seen before unfolds before my eyes. The unknown tower built on the infinitely wide grasnd has not changed from what I sawst time. In addition to the resemnce to the Tower of Trials, I was still feeling a sense of incongruity stimting my head. . To dismiss it as a mere ornament for the < model garden > of the sacred realm, doesnt it look like it was modeled after the Tower of Trials? Wherever you look at it, it doesnt look like its a decoration or something I felt annoyed as I stared straight ahead with my eyes narrowed. What the hell is that? But thats only for a moment. Before I knew it, I stopped thinking when I saw that three ancient deities were gathered under an unknown tower reminiscent of that tower of trials. Among them, the one standing at the front is the God of Creation, and the rest seem to be ancient gods who have achieved a divine hierarchy simr to the God of Creation It was obvious who they were . Then are those two ancient deities standing behind the god of creation the god ofw and the god of miracles? Arent they the three ancient deities of the order camp, who are pointed out as the culprits that caused the war of the gods? It was interesting to see the God of Law and the God of Miracles standing behind the God of Creation for the first time. thats interesting. Therefore, I looked at the god of creation, the god ofw, and the god of miracles in turn. As weve seen before, this is the God of Creation wearing a brown robe down to the hood but the two ancient deities standing behind her are covering their bodies with all sorts of sacred relics as if they had just fought. was doing Is that the god ofw and the god of miracles following the god of creation? The God of Law was a mage like a middle-aged man, wearing a huge staff as well as essories filled with divinity and mana. Its strong. Not only the God of Creation, but also the God of Law and the God of Miracles do not seem to be suitable forbat, but they seem to be good at fighting in their own way, even though they belong to a high axis of the divine hierarchy and are not the owners of concept divinities that help in directbat. Perhaps, if the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles all work together, would we be able to deal with at least one of the Dark Gods, Demon Gods, or Dragon Gods? But that was it. It would be impossible to win the war of the gods, but I mean. At most, even if the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles fought together, they could barely draw a draw against the God of Darkness, the Demon God, or the Dragon God. Nevertheless, if they urgently called me here, it would be one of the two. In response, I narrowed my eyes and stepped forward to the ce where the three ancient deities were standing. All of these incidents in the War of the Gods either realized that I was the culprit and called them for interrogation or torture, or Jeebeok Jeobeok-. In the war of the gods, the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods, who are out of standard, must be able to win even if they rampage this far. And The god of creation looks at you and smiles bitterly. ] Thew god looks at you and frowns. [ Hmm. Is that ancient deity the one who entered the war of the gods btedly, ignoring the divine confrontation? He is indeed a man with the strength and dignity to deserve it. ] The miracle god looks at you and prays. [ Wee. Saints, I heard that you had the same will as us. From now on, lets take care of the God of Creation together and get along well. ] They seemed closer to thetter than the former. Just seeing that this side came, they didnt fight or anything, they just purely gave evaluations and greetings. Seeing that, I knew that there was something hidden from them, so I tried to directly ask them questions, but I didnt even have to. The god of creation looks around at those standing beside him and emits a look of determination. [ thank you foring so quickly. Actually, I want to share a long time together, but unfortunately I dont have time for that anymore. know? ] Before I knew it, the god of creation took a quick look at me and the other ancient deities standing around and spoke faster than this one. [So lets start. ] I didnt even have time to think or ask what the hell that meant to start with. Whoops-. uh? Its nothing else Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-! Suddenly, as soon as the god of creation announced that he would start something, the divine and spiritual power began to wind like a storm in the unknown tower. What is this? Divine energy and fragments of the soul, which seemed to be broken here and there for some reason, swirled around the unknown tower. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-! And so, while the whirlpool of divinity and soul echoed across the meadow, the god of creation was heard to speak in session. [As everyone knows, the main stage of the war of the gods is surrounded by the Great Barrier created by the God of Law and the God of Miracles, including me. ] She nced at me and parted her lips as if to exin more. [That means that the Great Barrier covering the main stage where the war of the gods takes ce can be interpreted as my sacred realm.] Tsutsutsu- . [In other words, with the unique effect base of creation of my sacred realm < Model Garden >, I can reap the divinity and souls of those who died in the war of the gods and recycle them at will. ] The god of creation created a pure white sphere of divinity on the palm of his right hand and continued. [From the beginning until now] [Actually, the factional confrontation between the camp of order and the camp of chaos was just an excuse. ] [ In order to reap the divine and soul that had lost their owner in the divine realm < model garden >, it was necessary to lose not only the higher level deity but also the official deity. ] What? What the hell am I listening to? It was dizzy. In fact, doesnt the war of the gods mean that it was necessary to fight in order to reap the divine and soul into the divine realm < model garden >? That alone would be enough to make my head confused, but the sudden remarks of the god of creation continued without giving the other side a chance toe to their senses. [Thats why I waited and cut it. ] . [I didnt think of something like a chaotic camp from the beginning. In the War of the Gods, I was just waiting for the many high-ranking and official gods to die. Until one day enough Divinity and Soul gather together. ] You I stared at the god of creation with my eyes wide open at that, but she didnt stop talking. [But thats over now] Rather, the god of creation spat out words with a mischievous smile on his lips. [It can be seen that there is only one step left until we can create a utopia together with the divine < Creation >. ] The god of creation said that far and then looked at me nkly and spoke in a heavy tone. [God of transcendence and death. ] Its nothing else [Ill make the reward youre asking for from me right now, so Id like you to do me a favor instead. ] At the same time as the unconventional proposal, an unbelievable sound came. [Ancient deity. Among them, the God of Time, who possesses a conceptual divinity that can handle time itself. kill him ] Took-. The God of Creation said so and suddenly put his hand on that unknown tower. [This tower contains the umted results of collecting countless sacred spirits and souls in the War of the Gods] And If consumed, it is not impossible to provide a miracle that cannot and should not exist. ] next moment. [I can give you the power that can even break the immortality of ancient gods. ] I couldnt even say anything to him, but I was able to realize one thing for sure. [ how is it? ] The truth is that the war of the gods was nothing more than a fake battle created by them, in which neither winners nor losers appeared from the beginning. [What would it be like to be an unprecedented god-yer who destroyed even the conceptual immortality of an ancient deity in exchange for creating the utopia everyone desires with me?] Amidst the chaos where one could not see an inch ahead, an unthinkable option was given . Chapter 445 445. The god of time (2) The god of creation parted his lips with a mischievousugh. [ how is it? ] Unlike before, the light of greed that did not hide her inner feelings was flowing from her eyes. [How about bing an unprecedented god-yer who destroyed even the conceptual immortality of an ancient deity in exchange for creating the utopia everyone desires with me? ] Is that why? what? At this point, I cant figure it out. No matter how much this side doubts and wants to deny it, what the God of Creation said is the truth, not a lie. From the beginning until now, I knew that the War of the Gods was close to a kind of self-made y that was caused to collect divine and soul. How did this happen? But thats just that I barely understood what the other side said, so its not easy to ept from the perspective of understanding, not understanding. In fact, without wrapping up the words of the god of creation in a usible way, isnt it just a preparatory preparation for the war of the gods to achieve their hidden real purpose? From the beginning, the war of the gods and the confrontation system made up of the divinity only existed to attract the divinity and soul to the divine realm < model garden > So it was difficult to understand . why? Isnt it? Is there any reason to collect so much divinities and souls that have lost their owners due to the war of the gods in the divine realm < model garden >? Arent those three ancient deities standing in front of you the ones who have obtained the power closest to the top of the divine hierarchy? There arent many things to do to gather the fragments of divinity and soul that far in the divine realm < model garden > while inciting a war between the gods. and. . I was not able to hide my perplexity, and I was able to gain realization only while thinking over and over again. Yes, there arent many things I have to do to collect the fragments of divinity and soul after making a useless battlefield called the war of the gods. In fact, the realization that what those three ancient gods want may not be very different from what you want. It would be one of the two things that I have to collect the fragments of the spirit and spirit that have lost their owner in the divine realm < Model Garden >. It was simple. Either killing or sealing strong people outside the standard, such as the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God Its nothing else. Maybe hes a transcendent. ancient deity. A person who can kill even beings who have be immortal by bing the divinity and concept itself. What does it mean if it is not a transcendental person who has surpassed even the head of the universe called an ancient deity? under. If so, the proposal made by the other side is also clear. You said you wouldnt want to be an unprecedented god-yer who destroyed even the conceptual immortality of an ancient deity? I was genuinely offended. Its fun. next moment. Thats I said, bursting out to the level of divinity and soul, with murderous intent and disbelief in my eyes. The god of transcendence and death smiles twistedly at the tricks of the three ancient deities. ] Thats also very rough. *** Coo-goo-goo-goo-!! In an instant, a storm of divinity and soul raged around the ce where this side was standing. Nevertheless, the tower built in the divine realm < model garden > where fragments of divine and soul are umted is not even scratched It wasnt enough to be, but it was full and full. The god of creationughs at your wrath. [ Um. As expected, thats what I thought when I saw itst time too. You are strong enough to be ignorant even in our eyes. ] The god ofw is astonished at your divinity and the power of your soul. [Lee! What the hell!! Its possible to do this only with the divine attack and the spirit attack!? If you look only at the level of divinity and the level of the soul, isnt it the same as them!! ] The miracle god drools over the fragments of your hidden power. [ Hmm. Saint. I think there must have been something wrong after hearing what the God of Creation said. Please give me your strength. ] The God of Creations mischievousugh faded, if not as much as before, the God of Law was startled and astonished, and the God of Miracles groaned and tried to have a conversation, not a fight. The god of transcendence and death looks at the three ancient deities and dyes his eyes with murderous intent. [A mistake? I think you think Im doing this because I want to hear that nonsense. Its ridiculous. ] But crackling-! That too was only for a moment. [Dont be mistaken. ] As it was, I looked at the ce where the three ancient deities were standing and acted as if I was going to explode the abilities of the divinities all at once. [yer? That sounds funny. To be honest, if it wasnt for me, I would have listened to what anyone was saying. ] Suddenly, there was a reason why this side pretended to fight them at any time. [Not knowing that its something that isnt even a transcendental being, like a puppet being manipted as you wish. ] In fact, I already guessed what the god of creation meant by saying that he would give me the power of a God yer. [ You said you would give me the power to destroy even the immortality of the divinity and concepts of the ancient deity by consuming the fragments of divine and soul collected in the divine realm < model garden >, right? ] [ Yes. Thats right, I saw the potential to break even the concept divinity of an ancient deity with the power you possess. Thats why-. ] [ It was probably intended to give me the power of a divine yer, no different from the poisoned Holy Grail, by using divine < creation > to secretly erode my ego and consciousness with divine and soul. ] [ . ] The guess was not wrong. Since this side had already obtained the divine < Creation > from the Tower of Trials, they knew the how to use it itself even though they had never used it properly in actualbat. Instead of giving me the power to destroy even conceptual divinity by using the divine < Creation >, the other side will give me a mixture of contents such as malicious code that can control me at will. I cant help but not know that they intend to use the divine < Creation > to turn me into a weapon they can use as they please. Seeing the god of creation keep his mouth shut, I spoke with a divine voice as if I knew that. Its obvious. [ . ] God yer? Theres no way you can casually say that youll give it to me without any conditions, right? Even more so, he said he would give you the reward youll receiveter in the war of the gods. [Yes, that was also because I was considerate of you in my own way. ] Busssing. In the first ce, it didnt matter whether the gods won or lost. All you wanted from the beginning was the fragments of the divine and soul that had been lost from the war of the gods. [ . ] If the war of the gods was purely a preliminary work to collect the fragments of divine and soul for other purposes, stories such as victory or defeat would not be epted. Isnt that why you didnt go that far and offered a reward to grant the wishes of many high-ranking and official deities? In fact, they had absolutely no intention of giving me a victory reward, let alone a number of high-ranking deities and formal deities. Youve been ying annoying tricks like that, but now that the war of the gods is about to end faster than you think, you must be getting nervous? Seeing that you made such an offer to me. sure In the War of the Gods, those who belonged to the orderly side would not have been able to receive any victory reward from the beginning. And it must have been the same for me too, so there was no way I could go over it as if it was nothing without getting angry. Perhaps itcks the fragments of divine and soul that must be harvested from the war of the gods, which are necessary to achieve any goal you desire. In any case, if they had collected as much fragments of divine and soul as they wanted in the divine realm < model garden > in the war of the gods, they would not have asked me for help like this. Right? Is that why? [ Thats correct. ] The God of Creation no longer pretended to be indifferent and instead of making excuses, replied in a cold tone. [ okay. I wont make excuses to you anymore. Actually, as you said, you fooled everyone. But wasnt that the same for you? ] What? [Isnt it? If there was a strong person like you in this universe, theres no way everyone would know Until you appeared here, no one even knew that the immortal God of Transcendence and Death existed. isnt it strange Thats a very big word too. ] . Before I could say anything to him, the god of creation continued talking without stopping. [ thats right. Like you said, I fooled everyone and came this far. But thats no different for you. no different than me ] She threw back the hood of her brown robe and said with an air of ferocity. [I think that the culprit behind all the incidents in this war of the gods may be in front of me. Maybe? God of transcendence and death. answer me ] It seems that he has a vague idea that this side is the main culprit of ruining the war of the gods What can I do? [ what? ] What does that have to do with you guys trying to trick me? [ no. The War of the Gods has gone this far because of you alone. Then, of course, it has nothing to do with it. ] If youre going to argue in the first ce, arent you the ones who are the ones who are essentially holding so many gods here under the name of War of the Gods? Isnt it true Then I propose. [ suggestions? ] Yes. I dont know how to kill the god of time as you wish, but Ill make you die. However, I am not interested in the questionable power that you guys are giving me, and give me the victory reward promised in the war of the gods right now. [ Is that all? If thats the only thing, it wont matter, but ] Can that be all? Theres one more. I need to give you one more victory reward promised in the war of the gods. Of course, not by giving itter, but by giving it to me right now. If thats the case, its worth moving even considering how maniptive you guys were. [ Are you crazy? In the War of the Gods, what I decided to give you was that I would make anything you wanted with the divinity < Creation >. It doesnt make sense to ask for one more thing that is practically tantamount to fulfilling a persons wish. ] If you reject my proposal, you will immediately run to the northern, southern, or eastern front, so you should know that. To him, I casually continued talking. Dark God. It wouldnt hurt to run to the northern front where he is and tell him what you guys are up to. Even if its not that, I think its okay to openly stick to the demon god who came up on the eastern front, the god of time who went down on the southern front, or the god of light who said hes protesting against you from thest time. In fact, this is no longer a negotiation between them and me. Can you guess what that means? [You] If you guys reject my offer, I will immediately go either way and stick with you as soon as you refuse. [ . ] Behave well. Its not different-. Shouldnt we both choose a choice without regrets? it was a threat. Chapter 446 446. The god of time (3) In an instant, silence enveloped the sacred realm < model garden >. The tower, where the fragments of divine and soul created by the god of creation were still rotating fiercely, but they were different from before. All three ancient deities showed quite a bit of bewilderment, such as drowsiness or sweating. I cant help but be shaken by what I said. At that, I narrowed my eyes and put a small smile on my lips. Its not just the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, but also the ancient gods like the God of Time and the God of Light. In fact, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles are those whose conceptual divinity itself is not specialized in directbat. Its not difficult to predict that something annoying will happen to that side, no matter which side I join. As this side just said, theyll be in trouble if I stick to the Dark Gods on the Northern Front, or the Demons on the Eastern Front, or the Time Gods on the Southern Front. The three ancient deities, the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, are the lords of the universe, so they are naturally tough opponents, and the God of Time and the God of Light are also strong men that cannot be ignored. Only Well, practically, no matter how that side turns out, its impossible for me to go to any one ancient deity and be on the same side. It was a bluff. In fact, I couldnt be on the same side with anyone, be it the Dark God, the Demon God, or the Dragon God. ording to the story the God of Proof told me earlier, the God of Time seems to have noticed that not only about me, but also this world and himself were merely reproduced by the Tower of Trials. Like the god of time, I dont know what the ancient gods will do to me after realizing that all of this is just an illusion created by the Tower of Trials. It is unknown what kind of crises they will face if they approach the gods of darkness, demons, and dragons as well as the gods of time and light. But I was sure. Theres no way hell find out that everything I said was just a bluff. Even if all of the words this side said are just bluffing made up on the spot, it is not different from the truth in their eyes. The God of Creation stares at you silently. [ . ] In fact, not only the God of Creation, but also the God of Law and the God of Miracles standing in the back, no one could say a word and remained silent. In fact, if you dont know that all of this is just a fake thats close to the real thing reproduced by the Tower of Trials, youll have no choice but to react like that. At that, I gazed at the three ancient deities with cold eyes in my eyes. The difference in initiative created by each others information superiority cannot be overturned immediately, no matter what method is used. To the three ancient deities, the statement that they would stick to whoever they were, whether it be the Dark God, the Demon God, or the Dragon God, seemed like a fact, not a bluff. Goo. In an instant, the fragments of divine and soul swirling around the unknown tower were scattered. The god of creation res at you with angry eyes and gnashing of teeth. [ Ill ept that offer. Ill do whatever you want. Are you done now? ] There is no sign of fighting. Even if this side cant see through the bluffing they made up, I thought that the number of cases in which they chose to fight could not be ruled out The God of Creation, and the God of Law and the God of Miracles standing behind it, fought against me perfectly. He didnt seem confident of winning. The god of creation takes a slow, deep breath and calms down the feelings of anger. [victory reward. Whatever it was, he promised to create anything he wished for. Not only will you pay for it here in advance, but Ill create not one, but two. ] was a sess. [Is that okay? Instead, we must make sure that the story of pushing the god of time to the brink of death will note out anymore. ] The god of creation said, scattering cold lifeblood all over the grass as if it were difficult to calm down his anger. [You know that the proposal itself is close to ckmail, right? Im just saying this just in case, but if you break your promise to me, Ill find out somehow and make you pay for it. ] Only. Feed-. Anyway. cost? Why does this side have to pay for that? I responded with a cold mockingugh at the cold life that the god of creation sprinkled. doesnt care. It is essentially the prerogative of the strong, not the weak, to make them pay for something. The god of transcendence and deathughs at the weak who pretend to be strong. ] Then, between me and them, it is thetter, not the former, who has to pay the price. The god ofw is enraged at what you said and emits the power of divinity and magical power. this! Even arrogance has its limits! How do you spit out such stupid words! If we all work together, we can handle at least one of you!! ] As if he didnt like it, the god ofw held his staff tightly and shouted at the same time as expressing his strength, but it didnt continue to the end. The God of Miracles measures your strength and rank and drools. [ No. Youd better not. Saints, I am sorry to say this, but the god of transcendence and death has the right to speak and act like that. ] Suddenly, the God of Miracles touched the white eyepatch that covered both eyes and stopped the God of Law from trying to cross the line any further. [ Qualification? Even if the gods of transcendence and death are strong, where is the right to do so? The author doesnt deserve that] It was then. [ no. ] The god of creation also calmly spoke without even hinting at being murderous, as if he had seeded in calming down his excitement more clearly than before. [ yes. In any case, it is true that he tried to break the promise he made with the god of transcendence and death. Whether its thew of the jungle or the moral point of view, the fault lies with us. I dont think its a bit excessive, but theres nothing wrong with what the god of transcendence and death said. ] She went on, regaining herposure. [Nevertheless, I need to make one thing clear. ] The god of creation looked at me with cold eyes and delivered a divine voice as if warning. [Dont break the contract. The god of time must be driven until he is about to be killed unconditionally. To do that, you risk your unknown identity and sign a contract. okay? ] It was absurd. That sounds interesting. Its nice to have two victorious rewards for killing the god of time or driving him to death. Arent those words supposed toe from this side, not that side? But that and this are different things. Am I the one who shouldnt trust disgusting things like you guys? In fact, from the beginning, the war of the gods was nothing more than a good self-made y. How many lives have been trapped in the war of the gods and died like stubble led by the victory reward offered by the orderly camp? Even more so, it was not enough that a number of high-ranking and formal deities died meaninglessly, and I was almost killed by the Dragon God because of them. Its hard for me to even stand still and listen to you talking nonsense like that. If thats the case, the other side, not me, is talking about not breaking the contract . To that, I spat out the words with a cold sneer and a bloody voice. Anyway, you guys arent going to make a verbal contract with me, but youre thinking of making apulsory bond with a holy relic. Only contracts made on the basis of sacred relics can have coercive effects even against ancient deities. Earlier, I tried to use my strength as bait with the divine < Creation > to let me go, but I cant do that if I use an item like a holy relic. If they try to trick me again with their divine < Creation >, wouldnt the need to worry less if the holy relics arepulsory? [ okay. I have no intention of entering into a verbal contract with an ancient god like you, who I dont even know where he came from. I was just saying that it was better not to think about breaking the bindings of the contract made with the holy relic. ] Not to mention, the God of Creation also created another item identical to the relic I saw before by activating the Divine < Creation >. ! She handed me the Sacred Contract (S-) she created in exchange for the pure white divine light and said, [I thought that a crazy being like you might do something crazy to break the contractual binding of the relic. ] well. It is unwise to forcibly break a contract made with a holy relic in a state of mutual agreement. I dont know what penalty wille. Even if its guys like you, its no different. It was a lie. Even if you vite the contract of the holy relic Sacred Contract (S-), it is unlikely that there will be such a painful penalty. I dont know about general ancient gods such as the God of Creation, the God of Law, or the God of Miracles, but this side gained a lot of power to run the Ark while climbing the Tower of Trials. Its highly likely that the transcendental myth of < absolute immutability > will be used to eliminate the coercion of the contract, so it wouldnt be bad to do what he said. But I had no intention of doing so. Well, I cant do that, but I mean. Isnt it? As long as the God of Time noticed the Tower of Trials and me, leaving it as it is will only lead to aggravation of the situation. The god of time was the one who noticed that the war itself was just a record of the past, and even though it looked close to the real thing, it was essentially a fake. So In fact, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles will give you victory rewards, and now there was no reason to reject their offer and act as you please. Exclude. and. epted. Due to the exclusive effect of the Sacred Contract (S-), a contract has been concluded under mutual agreement with the designated target. ordingly, the Sacred Contract (S-) Simr to thest time, the moment when a contract with strongpulsion was concluded under mutual agreement. [ whatever it is, if you want something deep in your heart, youll get it soon. ] I felt my heart pounding, and with a deep smile on my lips, I reached out to the god of creation and grabbed it. Kwaaaak-. The divinity < Creation > is activated and creates something new in exchange for divinity, faith, and tales. Coo-goo-goo-goo-! In the blink of an eye, the divinity < Creation > emits a pure white halo of light, and the result was an overwhelming miracle that I wonder if it would be the only one in the entire universe. ! It was simple. An item that can obtain the Tower of Trials, which is practically a transcendental structure, and even the concept of divinity of the three ancient gods called the rulers of the universe. It is a power that can only be said to be something obtained purely through miracles and miracles, which may be obtained again even if you climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor. Ancient Book of Divinity Replica Grade: EX An ancient book containing a very small amount of Reappearance, one of the powers of the Tower of Trials. It is possible. However, after acquiring one of the divinities by cloning, the item itself disappears. Tome of Divine Replication (EX). It appeared in front of my eyes again. Chapter 447 447. God of Time (4) Tome of Divinity Replica Grade: EX An ancient book containing a very small amount of Reappearance, one of the powers of the Tower of Trials. It is possible to reproduce and acquire one at will. However, after acquiring one of the divinities by duplicating them, the item itself will disappear and disappear. For some reason, I didnt feel it. It was just like that. A miraculous product that may be the only one in this universe that can obtain not only the three ancient deities, but also the conceptual divinity of the Tower of Trials. It was the power that made him think that even if he climbed the Tower of Trials to the final floor, he might not be able to get it again. I thought I wouldnt be able to get it until I became a Transcendentalist, but I never thought Id be able to get it again like this. Isnt it unbelievably unconventional, even if its the reward you get for risking your life in the war of the gods? Wherever you look, there is no corner that can be said to be different from the original or fake. Not to mention, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles all signed a contract with the Sacred Contract (S-), so there was no sign of cheating. Its real. Before I knew it, I felt my heart beating wildly as I looked at the Book of Divine Replica (EX) held in my right hand. Then, the unique ability must be the same. Isnt it? Im looking forward to it. Originally, as the system description window informs you of the Divine Replica Book (EX), you can arbitrarily designate and acquire concept divinities based on the power of Reappearance that the Tower of Trials has. Whether it was the Tower of Trials or the cosmic suzerains called the three ancient deities, anyones concept divinity could certainly be obtained. If so, its like a hidden card. Since I obtained the Divine < Creation > of the Tower of Trialsst time, it wouldnt be bad to obtain the Divine < Law > or Divine < Miracle > of the God of Laws or Miracles in front of me. In response, I briefly looked at the Book of Divinity Replica (EX) held in my right hand, and then stared nkly at the two ancient deities standing behind the god of creation. Considering that the divine < creation > and the divine were used together when the Tower of Trials created thew of creation called causality, it would be right to obtain the divine I thought . At that time, it felt as if the Tower of Trials used not only the divinity < Creation > and the divinity < Law > together to create the causality of thews of creation, but also one more concept divinity. How the heck can I use the Book of Divine Replication (EX) to be stronger in the most efficient and effective way? Even though the Tower of Trials used the Divine < Creation > and Divine < Laws >, it would be obvious if they felt difficulty in creating thew of creation called causality. However not only the divine < Creation > and the divine < Law >, but also the divine < Miracle > are highly likely to have their own uses. Despite the chance to obtain two of the Concept Divinities of the Tower of Trials, I thought that it was not the right time yet. Even if I figured it out, it wouldnt make sense since I would only get one of the Holy < Law > and the Holy < Miracle > of the Tower of Trials. It was difficult. Is it right to use our strength to obtain the divine < Creation >, divine , and divine < miracle > of the Tower of Trials? Or would it be better to search for and obtain the most usable of the conceptual divinities of one of the three ancient deities? Narrowing down the options here wont lead to any gains. There was no rush. Because the war of the gods has not ended. Not only were the ancient gods rampant, but the group led by the god of creation had also secretly forged a dagger. Its a better way to think about what to choose while broadening my knowledge until the War of the Gods is over. I dont know how the war of the gods will change in the future, but isnt it a waste to write the God Replica Book (EX) here? Well, in fact, it might be better to ask for another Book of Divine Reproduction (EX) without worrying so much in the first ce. I had signed a contract to create another victory reward, not just one, but it seemed that I couldnt ask for the same item to be created again. Patter-. Its not different Isnt that overkill. The god of creation standing in front of me had been silently bleeding from the Seven Balls for a while and was trembling. The god of creation frowned at the terrible pain that cant even be described. [Ugh. ] Originally divine < Creation > is a power that is activated by using the casters divinity, faith, and legend as a price. Virtually all ancient deities became immortal by bing one with the concept divinity itself, so their physical condition is also greatly affected by divinity, faith, and narrative. The God of Creation paid a serious price to the extent that the hierarchy of divinity was shaken in creating the Book of Divine Reproduction (EX), so the physical condition was also on the verge of death. Probably, if I try to make another Divine Replica Book (EX) with the divine < Creation >, the divine < Creation > will not activate properly, and the God of Creation will surely die. Did the other side notice that too? [ what the hell is that holy relic used for? ] The God of Creation spoke with difficulty, with a pale expression on his face. [even though Ive consumed more than half of the fragments of the sacred and soul that have been lost in the divine realm < model garden >, its all about making one holy relic. ] She continued speaking in disbelief, with a look of astonishment in her eyes. [ Strange. Among the relics possessed by not only the god of time, but also the god of darkness and dragon god, it cant be that hard to make a relic of the highest quality but something is twisted. ] Its as if the Sacred Book of Replica (EX) we have is something that shouldnt exist in the first ce. [Isnt it absurd that something like that could exist in this universe? ] But Well. That too was only for a moment. Thats none of my business. To him, I replied casually, lets move on to the next turn. Rather than that, if you consumed more than half of the divine and soul fragments collected in the divine realm < model garden > to make this with the divine < Creation >, cant you make something more? [ no. Not really. dont worry. I wont break the contract. Its just that Im a little tired, and I cant make another relic of the same level as before. ] In a word, it means that there is no problem in fulfilling the contract, right? [ okay. ] Thats it. If the other side can fulfill the contract with me without any problems, there is no obstacle at all. Theres one more prepaid reward that you promised me to give me, so lets continue with the contract. But The God of Law speaks as if he is fed up with your merciless personality. Why do we need to push the god of creation so hard? Isnt it okay to wait a few days to fulfill the contract? do that ] Why? The God of Miracles also agrees with what the God of Law said. [God of transcendence and death. Even though it was just a short period of time, wasnt it a cooperative rtionship between us? Its not that the God of Creation cant wait for a few days to recover his strength. ] The two ancient deities standing behind the god of creation didnt seem to think so. Perhaps the god of creation seems too tired and cant wait for me What is the reason for that? The moment I tried to answer him coldly. The god of creation looks at the two ancient deities and shakes his head. [ No, thats okay. both go there It has to be done someday, now orter. I dont intend to procrastinate any longer. ] The god of creation said that, as if admonishing two ancient deities, then reached out to me again with a determined face. [God of transcendence and death. ] . [You know this is thest time, right? ] Yes. In her eyes, determination and malice shone. [Like you said to me earlier, you will also have to make a choice without regrets. ] Kwaaaak-. [ because you dont know what consequences your choices and decisions will bring after time passes. ] Stronger than necessary power ising and going between the hands that are joined together. [You and we wont be together then, so I hope you consider this thest moment to cooperate with me. ] Is it a threat or a warning? If thats not the case, it may be a in notice. However, despite this, I answered calmly with an expressionless expression. Anyway. like it doesnt matter at all. Do whatever you feel like. There was really nothing different. Anyway, all this side did was to prepare in advance for an unfortunate event in which the ego and consciousness were manipted by the divine < Creation >. And if you hold a grudge against it ande to retaliate before the war of the gods is over, theres nothing to say. In the first ce, I wouldnt have been with you if it wasnt for the victory reward you guys offered me, so even if this is thest moment I cooperate with you, it doesnt matter. But it didnt end there. step-. Thats right, Im not the type to stay still after hearing someones deration of war. If you intend to y tricks on me, youd better be prepared for what it will cost. I just wanted to concisely convey what I was thinking. Come whenever you think you can kill me after getting what you want in the war of the gods. And The god of transcendence and death silently looks at the god of creation, the god ofw, and the god of miracles. [At that time, I will kill you all one by one without leaving a trace. ] next moment. ! In an instant, the pure white light of the divine < Creation > shed brilliantly in the divine realm, and the final hand was in hand. *** How much time has passed? Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung The huge door of the temple slowly closes. Before I knew it, I was looking at a bright red jewel in my hand as I came out of the temple where splendor and grandeur were mixed. The second miracle created by the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles in exchange for the fragments of divine and soul collected in the war between the gods was reflected in the pupil. The battlefield of the gods. In theboratory created by the Tower of Trials in the past, I once made a certain holy relic before fighting the God of Victory. It was a not-so-great relic that allowed the supernormal abilities of one divinity to be activated ovepping, but it was never forgotten in my memory. At that time, the God of Victory, who was nearing the end of the upper deity and had the divine hierarchy of the ancient deity, lost because of this one thing. Memories shed back to me.

When the exclusive effect Will to Fight is activated, divine < fighting spirit > is activated. Only once, the user can ovep divine < fighting spirit > with an external divinity. I can do it. The strongest hand was all gathered in hand. Really Defeat? I couldnt think of any more of that. Now I couldnt even imagine that I would lose without winning against someone. Perfect. obviously. Chapter 448 448. God of Time (5) Jewel with strong fighting spirit Rating: SSS+ Only challenger Han Seong-yoon can use it. A jewel that an ancient deity kept her own divinity. When injected, the exclusive effect Will to Fight can be activated. When the exclusive effect Will to Fight is activated, divine < fighting spirit > is activated. < Fighting Spirit > can be stacked with an external divinity. The strongest hand. A holy relic that can be 10,000 times stronger by stacking divine < fighting spirit > came into hand. Well, what can be 10,000 times stronger with divine < fighting spirit > is various misceneous abilities including physical abilities wouldnt that be enough? Kwaaaak-. He calmed down his trembling heart while holding the holy relic Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+) in his right hand. Whether its the three ancient deities or the god of time, I can definitely take down one physical ability. The ability of the body to perform movements that reach the speed of light itself is equal to or more valuable than a concept of divinity. Even beings who became ancient deities like the god of birth cant ignore the physical ability to move at the speed of light. If I had to argue, it was a level that could bepared to the divinity < transcendence > or the divinity < death > in terms of one physical ability with a little bravado. If I can activate the divine < fighting spirit > ovepping, I have the confidence to overwhelmingly push through whoever it is. Of course, its not enough to have a lot of authority skills, so its not enoughpared to the divinity < Transcendence > that allows you to acquire transcendence myths and the divinity < Death > that can even annihte even the concept of divinity of an ancient deity is not enough. Isnt that because the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death > grow together whenever this side bes stronger? Jerk-jerk-. Divinity < fighting spirit > can bepared to divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death > from a short-term perspective rather than a long-term perspective. God of time. No matter how strong that unknown ancient deity is, its not easy to lose your life. Then there is no need to hesitate. Then thats it. Wasnt it impossible to leave him alone at the point when the god of time noticed that the war of the gods was fake, not real? I dont know how long the war of the gods willst, but it didnt seem like there was much time left in my opinion. If I cant kill the God of Time in a hurry, or if I cant rule it out in some way, Ill just be in trouble in many ways. It was certainty, not spection. The War of the Gods has already changed considerably from the original history, and the bnce of power has also been disrupted. As the three ancient deities, as well as the god of time and the god of light, were rampaging together, a resolution could have been reached within a few weeks or months. Even if its for me to survive, I cant let the god of time live. Only within a few days from the point where the god of time spreads information about the Tower of Trials or this side, most of the ancient gods will be targeting me. I didnt want that to happen, as this is one of the worst scenarios imaginable right now. Lets hurry up. And Took-. And the moment I step outside to kill the god of time. [ is out. ] Suddenly, a familiar voice came from in front. In the War of the Gods, there are only a handful of people I can recognize by voice alone. Thanks to that, as soon as I heard the divine voice, I was able to immediately recognize whose voice it was. Its nothing else The god of proof looks at you nkly. [How did you end the conversation with those fools? I thought they woulde out after a fight because they were so awkward. It seems you were kinder than I thought. ] was the god of proof. yes. what it had to be I also had a good deal with them. There was no armed conflict. [ is it? Good luck then. You are also an ancient deity, but I didnt know what tricks they would join forces with, so I was waiting in front ] You waited? [Isnt it something you dont know about? What ns do those foolish dreamers have to persecute you? At that time, even though I was weak, I had the intention of contributing to the escape by adding a hand. Well, in the end, that didnt happen. ] . It was sharp. If this side were weaker than them, armed conflict could have urred, as the god of proof said. And at that time, if a being with one of the most powerful deities, such as the God of Proof, had added strength, he would have been able to leave his seat without fail. I dont understand. step-. why did you try to do that to me? Its just a story that focuses on getting me out of a crisis situation. If the god of proof helped me like that, there was a high possibility that the other side would surely be killed by the god of creation, the god ofw, and the god of miracles. In fact, there is no reason to be so kind to me in this world of the distant past, where even the Tower of Trials does not exist. Why are you showing favor to me so unterally? Not even that. When I first encountered the God of Proof in the War of the Gods, I didnt see any level of goodwill beyond the limit, even though he worried about me. If he behaves like that now, it must mean that something has happened that will change his mind. And for some reason, I felt so ominous that I couldnt shake off the anxiety that filled my whole body and asked the question. Could you please answer me? Why did you sacrifice your life so much to give me strength? I dont think theres any reason why the God of Proof should do that to me. [ reason? well. Im not sure. In fact, from the first time I saw you, I felt something strange about you. Should I say that you know me, but I dont know you? Something like that. ] Im not sure what that means [You really dont know? ] . The ominous premonition was not wrong. [ no. Maybe the answer to that question is Dorian, but you yourself might know better. ] I was sure. [ so Ill ask. ] Nothing else. The god of proof looks at you and reveals intense doubt. [What kind of rtionship do you have with me? ] The god of proof standing in front of him was in the process of realizing what the war of the gods was. *** Sacred realm. It refers to a barrier or subspace of ones own that any being with conceptual divinity can create as divinity, even if it is higher than or less than formal deity by establishing the hierarchy of divinity. Creating a users conceptual divinity into a special barrier or subspace is a basic skill for those above formal deities, but at the same time, it was close to an advanced application technique with plenty of room to hone. thud thud-. It was worth it. Even though the sacred realm itself seems easy, it is a work that fully captures ones concept of divinity, so it has a thousand different values depending on how it is used. The deeper the understanding of divinity and concepts, the higher the degree ofpletion of the divine realm, so depending on the users ability, the divine realm could bepared to a single world. . Like this one. Gooo-. Darkness ripples like waves and spreads everywhere. Only because it is filled with darkness such as chaos, it is not made of divinity, but it is a mysterious space that even looks like a universe without light. An old man who entered the ce moved forward, holding out his cane in the empty air as if touching the ground. Took-. Its nothing else The god of time speaks to someone watching him. ] was the god of time. [Lord of the universe. I havee to your sacred realm directly to my troubles. If so, isnt it basic courtesy for you as a host to show your face to your guests? ] The god of time uttered a divine voice into the air filled with darkness, but it did not resonate very deeply. .it was natural. In an instant, the weak divine power contained in the words of the God of Time was swallowed up by the darkness, and even the sound of the words disappeared. In order to have this level of perfection in one alternative divine realm, what kind of divinity and soul status must the user possess? Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-. The answer wasnt far off. [Its been a while. ] A woman wearing a ck robe appeared from the air and, buried in the darkness, conveyed the meaning with a divine voice. The god of darkness looks at the cheeky kid and smiles. [God of time. ] the dark god. One of the three ancient deities and the ruler of the universe, she appeared with a strange smile. She looked down at the god of time as if to look down on her, giggling, and went on. [A thousand years ago, a lot of insignificant kids who couldnt even read their own future have grown up. ] sneer. Since the god of time became an ancient deity and governed time itself, one of the higher concepts, it was not strange even if it sounded unpleasant. Nevertheless, the god of time was well aware that the existence buried in the darkness deserved it. [At that time, there was a child who was born with a special soul that could bloom divine < time >, so it would be fun- I expected it, but as time passed, it turned out to be a defective product that reached the state thanks to the talent of the innate soul. ] Isnt she the owner of the concept of darkness that exists in this universe itself and one of the chiefs of the universe, also called the god of the beginning? [Its been a long time since I took interest in a worthless being like you. ] The god of time stood beneath her and listened with a frozen face. [God of time. Hes a cheeky kid. Wouldnt it be better to step back and not bother me anymore? Its the courage that came here. Its imaginary. ] One, and that for a while. Hard! In the blink of an eye, the darkness that filled the divine realm shimmered as if it were alive, crushing the God of Time as if it were about to die. The God of Time smiles. [The God of Darkness. Lord of the universe, in your eyes, I may be nothing but an insignificant creature, but I also did note here without thinking. Ive prepared a contingency n for an unexpected moment like this. ] At that moment, centered on the ce where the god of time stood, the vast sea-like swamp of darkness was dyed with brilliant light and neutralized. Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! And a human form made of light stepped out of the radiant cluster of lights. The God of Light expresses that he does not want any more armed conflict to ur. [The God of Darkness. do it there No matter how ugly the god of time may be to you, its not right to try to subdue it by force. I want you to have mercy. ] Nevertheless, the God of Darkness who saw it was still buried in the darkness and did not move even one step, onlyughing at it. [Whoa whoops. Youre the god of light? God of Time It seems that you have sneaked into my sacred realm through that cheeky kid. It cant be more heartbreaking. Ah, how did such a sad thing happen? ] And. [There is so much sadness in my heart. ] ordingly, the moment the god of darkness spoke quietly. [ isnt that the only way to do it? ] In an instant, even the divine power emitted by the god of light was swallowed up by the darkness within the divine realm, forming a one-sided advantage as before. [ Today, even among the ancient deities that exist in this universe, two youngsters with conceptual divinities that are rare enough to be counted on their hands will die at my hands. ] Gugggggggggggggggg!! The god of light is astonished at the supernatural abilities of the divine pouring out from all over the divine realm. [What the hell!! ] As if the power of darkness pouring in from all directions was beyond imagination, the god of light let out a divine voice filled with pain. [ quit. Dark God Are you serious? You wont even hear why the god of time and I came here together? Theres no benefit to you if youe out like that. ] The Dark God also did not stay still until his words were finished. [ No. Dont you make me feel bad because of worthless scumbags like you? It pays off if getting rid of disqualifiers like you makes me feel better. ] She said in a cold voice, her eyes full of contempt, as if she were looking at trash by the side of the road. [ iced coffee. I feel pathetic Living day by day without aspirations to move forward, living without any possibility. How is it that this universe is overflowing with boring and worthless trash like you guys? Its a sad thing. ] Crackling!! Every time the dark god continued to speak in a cold voice, the darkness wriggled from all sides as if it were alive and applied stronger pressure. [God of time. In order to stop this meaningless war y in the name of the war of the gods, I would have given my strength to the will of a scum like you Why does the war of the gods not end? Im curious. ] There was a hint of anger in her cold voice. [At that time, you said you would end the war between the gods if you lend your strength to me, the demon god, and the dragon god. If so, the promise to end the war of the gods was not kept. Let me tell you with what confidence you possessed that disgusting mug at me. ] It deserved it. A while ago, there was a way to definitely end the war between the gods, so wasnt it the God of Time who asked for the power of the three ancient gods? The god of darkness was annoyed by what he said, but decided that it was not a lie and gave his strength, but unlike his promise, the war of the gods did not end. The god of time replies with a smile. [ War of the Gods. I was right when I said I would end that meaningless fighting game. However, apart from that, the war of the gods does not end when the god of creation or the god ofw is killed. ] By the way [In the first ce, if the essential reason for the existence of the war of the gods is removed, wouldnt the war of the gods naturally end? ] The god of time continued to speak calmly, holding only a kind smile on his lips. [Dark God. Lord of the Universe, I told you, the Demon God, and the Dragon God about the twisted timeline here. I didnt know at the time why that happenedbut it doesnt anymore. I was convinced because I recently met someone other than myself who could foresee the future. ] The Dark God didnt take his words straight and gentle. [God of Time Its a timeline that only you know, isnt it meaningless to talk about what to do? Please exin. I mean what the hell is that If its just a story I already know, or if its just nonsense, Ill make sure it meets a terrible end. ] A story no different from ckmail. [It doesnt matter. ] After hearing that, the God of Time nodded and replied as if nothing was wrong. [ Actually, the war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, and this is not a real story, but a fake that someone made up. Maybe you, the demon god, the dragon god, and even me are just fakes, not real ones. ] [ Oops. Are you thinking of asking for mercy with those ridiculous words? wouldnt it? If so, I dont think I have anything more to share with you. ] [ Responsibility? I wonder if I need something like that. If my words sound unreliable, then kill or seal as you please. That too is meaningful. After all, if everything is just a fake that looks real, whats so scary about it? Its all just a dream job. ] [ Dream? ] [ Thats right. ] said the god of time with a wry smile. [In the end, everything is just a story in a daydream. Only the Seed of Ascension will have the potential to be a transcendent after swallowing everything. Its a story made for just one thing, so nothing will change. The timeline is twisted and everything will eventually turn into a fake, only to be scattered into a handful of sand. ] It wasplicated. A story like a dialogue. At first nce, you will only hear words that are nothing more than nonsense that has no ce to use. However, despite this, the God of Darkness figured out what the God of Time meant and replied. [ In other words, ording to what you say, you and the god of light next to you, as well as me, the demon, and the dragon god, are just dream figures for someone else? Thats funny. OK then lets assume thats right. Do you know what we can do to support the story of a mere dream? ] And. [In the War of the Gods, I read the future forcibly beyond the limit just once. Actually, rather than reading the future with the divine < Time >, it was a way of guessing a certain ending with a high possibility of realization. The end of the war of the gods seen with that It looked like it had finished ] The moment when the god of time revealed that he had used a divine supernatural ability, a concept close to guessing the future rather than predicting the future. [Looking at it, I had an idea. ] The God of Time smiled coldly and continued. [If this world itself where the war of gods takes ce is a fake world, where the hell is the real world and how do we get there? ] Looks like hes gone out of his mind somewhere. [I was worried. I couldnt read the future at all except for the ending where the Seed of Ascension swallowed everything. Doesnt the war of the gods exist only for that one thing anyway, and even the ancient deities like you and I are only servants? The answer was also there. ] said the god of time with a madugh. [Isnt that a simple story? ] It was bing clear what the god of time wanted. [In the War of the Gods, the passage to the real world rather than the fake world is that this world itself exists because someone created it for only one seed of ascension wouldnt it be there? Its been a long time since I found the answer. ] He was longing for a way to go up to the real world rather than the fake world until the end of the War of the Gods, which is nothing more than a reproduction of a record made by someone else. [ I do not suggest. ] [ . ] The Dark God said nothing more. [even if we stay here anyway, if the seed of ascension finishes what it has to do, something close to the transcendent will annihte us all along with the world. In that case, lets go up there whether or not there is a real me who bes the original in the real world up there. ] The God of Time spread bloody energy and presented a specific n with Gwangso. [If the body of the Ascension Seed is taken away, it would not be impossible to go to the real world rather than the fake world in this dream] That means one thing . [ Wouldnt the three ancient deities and the god of light, including me, join forces and use them in any way to ascend to the real world instead of the fake world?] The pping of a butterflys wings is a precedent It started to cause unexpected disasters. Chapter 449 449. Mud (1) Even if it wasnt for the system messages that appeared in front of me, I could have guessed that this was a very bad crisis situation. Achievement Crisis of Desperation has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The reward level obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 10 It rises. At this point, I cant help but notice. The God of Proof was aware that the War of the Gods was a reproduction of past records by the Tower of Trials. Otherwise, it is difficult to vaguely deny that the story is not true. Could it be that you learned information about the Tower of Trials or me? In response, I looked at the god of proof pretending to be nothing on the outside, and quickly repeated thoughts in my head in an instant. no. cant it be If the god of proof knew the Tower of Trials or my true identity, I wouldnt act like that. Its not yet certain, its just a guess. Isnt the question that the other side asked me why I was treating him as if I had known him for a long time? I didnt notice that when I saw that he didnt openly talk about the Tower of Trials or my purpose like the god of time. If so, there is still room for clearing up the suspicions. Its hard to understand what you mean by that. As it was, I frowned and said it as if it was difficult to understand. You already know what kind of rtionship you have with me, dont you? It was the first time we met when we came to the War of the Gods for unknown reasons. I dont need to exin it again with my own mouth But thats for a while. The god of proof shakes his head and answers. [No. Im not talking about the first time we met after entering the War of the Gods. Rather, it is an essential story that you and I already know. Anecdotes you know but I dont. Perhaps it has something to do with the secrets you hide. ] Even with the words this side said, the god of proof continued as if he hadnt resolved his suspicions in the slightest. [For example, no one can enter the war of the gods because of the battle system made up of divinities. How did ite in? Even though it has a high level of divinity among ancient deities that can be called the lord of the universe, even the name of the deity has never been known. For some reason, an ancient deity like you treats me like a high-ranking deity with such respect] Its a misunderstanding. How I got into the War of the Gods is just the part Im curious about. Well, its true that even among the ancient deities that exist in this universe, they have a high level of strength, but if theyve been hiding their power, it doesnt make sense, right? [ okay? In my own way, Ive seen a lot of ancient gods as well as high-ranking or official gods Like you, those who hide the fact that theyve be ancient gods or treat opponents with lower levels of divinity than themselves with such respect. never seen it ] Ever since I was a mortal, I tend to treat others with the lowest level of courtesy. [ hmm. If you remember even a small part of what youve done so far in the War of the Gods, its hard to say such a thing, even if its a lie, unless your conscience is broken Its amazing. ] . It was hot. In fact, in the war of the gods, I had never shown such a good side to others. Well, thats not what this side wanted, but there should be room for excuses for the other partymitting an unexpected act (?) that led to an armed conflict. However, despite this, he could not continue to make excuses until he heard what the god of proof said in the next turn. [Let me ask you one more question. ] He would too [Lets say everything you said is real, not fake. Lets say it was your first encounter when you came to the War of the Gods and met me. If all of this is just a coincidence, and you are an ancient deity from the beginning and have nothing to do with me. ] ordingly, the moment when the god of proof had emotions close to certainty in his eyes. The God of Proof looks at you as if you have something more to say. [Why on earth does the scent of the holy relic I created linger on you? ] I just couldnt think of anything anymore, my mind went white and the thought stopped. *** ident stop. Until now, the things I had thought about how to make excuses to the God of Proof became meaningless. As a result, I tried to somehow clear my white-washed head, move my thoughts again, and try to connect my thoughts. A holy relic? Doesnt that mean one thing? Could it be that I still have traces of the holy relic ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+)? god of birth. Not long ago, this side of the Tower of Trials carried out the punishment request given by the Pantheon instead of the trials on the 27th floor, and it reminded me of the ancient deity I killed for the first time. At that time, in order to push the god of birth to the limit, he ovepped and invoked the divine < fighting spirit >, showed off his body movements that reached the speed of light itself, and at the same time used the power to seal the divinity of the opponent and himself. Damn it I couldnt help but curse in my heart when I realized that it was the holy relic ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+). There are still traces of using the holy relic ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+) on me? If traces of using the holy relic ck Mirror of Innocence (SSS+) remain on me, wouldnt it be meaningless to deny what the other side said? is it real? Or is it bluffing? However that means that lies do not work under the premise that everything the God of Proof has said is true. It seemed that it would not be easy to read the traces of the holy relic, as the god of proof said. Anyway, theres nothing good about admitting that its true right here. Even if the other side read the traces of the holy relic from me, there is no need to admit it straight away. It is a misunderstanding. Reverberation of the holy relic? I wonder if I felt something wrong [Hmm. is it? Thats a curious misunderstanding. However, from my point of view, you can feel traces of the holy relic. ] Well, it seems like a problem for the god of proof to think about. I have absolutely nothing to do with it. [I see] I nodded as if I didnt think that the God of Proof would openly admit it, and took something out of my chest. [Its a slim chance Well, it could be a coincidence that the reverberation of the holy relices out like you said. There are quite a few bizarre things that happen within a, but even if you look at the entire universe, how rare is the ancient deity? ] And. [However, what if the reverberation of the sacred relic is felt strong even in the entire universe, and it is a heterogeneous situation where you can feel the only one and only two relics? ] Chuck. ordingly, the moment when the god of proof took something out of his chest and showed it to him. I had no choice but to realize that no matter how untrue this was, it would be meaningless. Yes, if there is, I can understand why he expressed his doubts to me. Its nothing else the mirror of belief. The holy relic Mirror of Faith (SSS-) was being reflected in my field of vision. The holy relic Mirror of Faith (SSS-) given by the God of Proof that I met in the Tower of Trials before must have be the holy relic ck Mirror of Innocence. There was no way he didnt know what the holy relic Mirror of Faith (SSS-) in front of him looked like, and just having it was enough to understand the situation. The god of proof looks at you and smiles bitterly. [ I see. You dont have to tell me its not true anymore. Seeing that you cant hide your confusion any longer, I think the answer is already out there. ] Maybe thats why? [Actually, even if I didnt ask you, I already realized to some extent just from the words that I dont know if its a prophecy or spection given by the god of time. ] The god of proof spat out in a muffled voice, as if recalling the distant past. [Why? He didnt even want to realize what the truth was. It was hard. The day wille when you realize and ept the truth. The moments of life that I still remember vividly when I close my eyes were the process of proof for me. It was hard to dismiss it as fake. So I pretended not to know. I kept the doubts from rising to the surface. ] He continued with his eyes closed. [When I first met you, when I felt the reverberation of the holy relic, I thought I was also mistaken. But as time passed and every time you treated me with courtesy and asked various questions, my doubts grew uncontrobly. More so after talking with the god of time. ] . [God of Time. The story, whether it was a prophecy or spection, seemed to point to someone. Even he suppressed his suspicions, saying that it must be fake, not true, but now he cant. After hearing the story the God of Time told you, your reaction was unusual. ] Thats right, everyone cant help but feel puzzled when they hear what the god of time said. [Surprised? well. Well, that could also be true. At that time, when you heard what the god of time said, didnt you wonder, How did he find out? If so, I wouldnt be lying if I said I was puzzled by what you said. ] I dont know why I have to be misunderstood like this. The God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles may also be watching over here. I am worried that what the god of proof conjectures will be known as fact even though it is not true. Can not help it. Right now, the headquarters of the order camp is no different from a part of the divine realm created by the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles. Considering that the unique abilities of the sacred realm are also applied to the Divine Confrontation System, which is the means of restraint that establishes the war of the gods, the possibility that the story being told here can be eavesdropped cannot be ruled out. [I dont think so. ] But [Remember? You know what I said earlier when you said you were going to the god of creation out there that you had work to do. Perhaps those fools have no idea whats going on here. ] The God of Proof said calmly, as if it was a problem that had already been assumed. [ so now answer. ] . [ what kind of rtionship did you have with me? ] Thats a difficult question to answer casually. cant hide The god of proof standing in front of me has alreadye to know who I am. Even if this side insists that it is not true, there is no way that other side will believe it casually. He is a benefactor. So I answered. Ever since I was a mere mortal, the God of Proof has favored me and helped me in many ways, although I dont know why. As the god of proof said, the divine power spread by the god of proof is attached like a thin film to the headquarters of the order camp. In a simr vein, the holy relic I have was given to me by the God of Proof to prepare for what will happen in the future. I decided that the god of creation, the god ofw, the god of miracles would no longer be able to hear the wordsing out of this, and I neatly admitted it. The god of proof expresses satisfaction. [ I see. That means Ive shown a fondness for beings like you since they were mortal. Is that why you treated me with respect? I understand. ] The god of proof still closed his eyes and spoke as if he was sorry. [ okay. I got it. by the way Now you cant run away from the facts like you used to. ] Understanding the facts is difficult. [ This is not the real world and I was fake, not real. ] Understanding and epting that I am fake and not real is impossible without going crazy. [the fact that he obtained the concept divinity of divinity < proof > after not stopping the struggle for proof within a thousand years of his own time, and the glory of being a support for those who have the will to move forward with arge number of believers Is the decision to prevent the war from leading to a terrible ending, in the end, just a fake, not a real one? ] Is that why? [ . ] The God of Proof was silent after recognizing that he was created by the Tower of Trials. Its like trying to figure out what to do. So, I waited until the god of proof settled my mind. If the other side is against me after thinking about it, I can go and kill it then. Time passed like that. The god of proof is looking at you. [ Thank you. ] After about ten minutes passed, the god of proof opened his eyes and said expressionlessly. [ Thanks to you, I think Ive finally decided what to do. ] And. [Everything is fake, not real, and even if its just someones dream, I just do what I have to do. ] It was then. Kwajijik! [Is it the path I chose to go forward and add strength to those who prove themselves] Suddenly, the god of proof stabbed his left hand into his chest and pulled out something containing vast divine power. Awesome-! [Just as I did for you in the real world, I should do for you in the fake world as well.] Next moment. Hwa-ah! In the blink of an eye, the God of Proof touched the holy relic Mirror of Faith (SSS-) with something imbued with vast divine power. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!! At that moment, the holy relic Mirror of Faith (SSS-) changed as it came into contact with something like the divine power itself held in the left hand of the god of proof. Even if everything is just a story in a dream that is just a handful of sand that will dissipate someday, I cant take my eyes off what I have to do. The god of proof no longer used the divine voice. chuck. It is my job to give opportunities to those who are willing and qualified to move forward No. it was not usable. Thats because the divinity itself, the concept he had, escaped to the outside and turned into a single material. chuck. hand it over. It was simple. that will help to blossom the seeds of transcendence and ascension held by the god of death. It was a holy relic that was no different from a memento forged from a single life containing the power itself built up by the god of proof as a high-level deity. Chapter 450 450. Muddy water (2) It was brilliant. Gooooh. A high-ranking deity who has lived for over a thousand years has created a concept divinity that is no different from his own identity by extracting it voluntarily. The holy relic, which looked like a golden mirror in front of me, was close to a work of art that no one of the upper deities could create. Unshakable Faith Rating: EX The mirror of the one who proves that ispleted bybining the unshakable faith and divinity of a certain deity. Exclusive effect Confidence of Proof can be activated. Exclusive effect Proof of Proof When Confidence is activated, you can select an opponent and steal one conceptual divinity for 10 minutes. However, the exclusive effect Conviction of Proof is activated when the divinity and soul level of the opponent and the user are not equal. Cannot be done. After activating the exclusive effect of the relic, a cooldown of 1 year urs. It was the result. This is Top rated. To the extent that it is taken for granted that another item of the same level as the Book of Divine Replica (EX) obtained from the Tower of Trials is created. Despite being one of the rarest relics Ive ever seen, I was genuinely delighted and couldnt get it. why? no. At this point, should I say the exact opposite? Even while looking at the holy relic Unshakable Faith (EX), the confusion grew and the pain was felt. Why are you doing this to me? Its nothing else why are you able to forge your divinity and soul into a holy relic so casually? This is because the holy relic Unshakable Faith (EX) is a masterpiece created by a high-level deity giving up on himself. Patter Divine power flowed like water from the chest of the God of Proof. Shall we say that it looks like a water jar with a hole in it? A situation in which the body and soul, which were strong enough to reach the end of the upper deity, were destroyed due to a disaster in which all conceptual divinities escaped. The body and soul, which have the same role as a vessel to hold water, are broken, and the concept of divinity, the essential power to control the divine power, disappears, so the divine power can no longer stay in the body. The loss of the conceptual divinity at the heart of the higher deity does not end with the loss of the deity itself. Understanding that it was a fatal wound that was tantamount to ending the life of a high-level deity, I didnt know why the other side was so devoted to me. Either I will die sooner orter, or I will be an idiot due to the loss of the ego that resides in the conceptual divinity, and I will live a life inferior to that of a mortal, and my life will be short-lived. It was worth it. For God, concept divinity is the essence that defines himself and is close to another self. In fact, losing all of the conceptual divinity of a higher deity is a punishment more terrible than death, and at the same time, it is a path that can only lead to destruction. Dip-dip-. Right. By the way Loss of prestige? Nevertheless, the god of proof replied casually with a pale face. well. Thats not what I know. I dont want to live as a god doing things that would make me feel ashamed. Thats an insult to the followers who believe in me and follow me in a faraway ce. And let me tell you. The god of proofughed bitterly as he poured divine power from his chest like blood. Im not real, Im fake. . real and fake. I can say this because I know that the War of the Gods is nothing more than a reproduction of the past records created by the Tower of Trials. The God of Proof continued to speak calmly, as if there was no longer any meaning to live on. I understand. This is the real world, not the fake world. And in this fake world, youre the only main character. If I survive here, what do you think will be so different? I dont think so It will perish. At the same time as you swallow everything as the seed of ascension, the fake world that is not the real world just disappears and disappears. No matter what you think, its an undeniable fact that the odds are high. Maybe not. Or with the power I have, the God of Proof could go to the real world together. Wouldnt the story be different then? Its not toote. So-. It cant be. Before this side could say anything, the god of proof shook his head with a pale face. Isnt that the way to survive like a parasite hanging on to your mercy and sympathy? no. The God of Proof has already done a lot for me. From a transactional point of view, it is not far from rationality. well. I dont want to live like that Its not like me who has to move forward. The only ones who can go forward are always those who have the qualifications and determination. And helping them is the way of life and duty I have chosen. The God of Proof said, staring nkly at the ceiling with his eyes blurred. I dont want to live like that. I dont want to break the way of life by clinging to the mercy andpassion of those who advance. Thats right. Somehow, it seemed that there was something in his voice that touched his soul, even though there was no divine power in it. Its because I in the real world doesnt want to lose the pride of life Ive lived in the fake world. pride in life. It is the life I chose to give those who move forward a chance, but what will happen if I break it, which is not real but only fake? Hearing those words, I was able to realize what kind of mindset the Holy Relic given by the God of Proof, Unshakable Faith (EX), was a masterpiece. ah. The holy relic Unshakable Faith (EX) refers to the determination made by the God of Proof. The product of an unshakable and overwhelming belief that only in this real world, not even in the fake world, will propel me forward. Just because the god of proof wants me to move forward, he offers his divinity and soul to help me. Actually, unlike the me of the real world, I dont really have a strong bond with you. At best, he treated me well, unlike an ancient deity, and I just knew that there was something I desperately wanted. I dont know what path youll take in the future. Tumble tumble-. Seed of Ascension. I dont know what I want to achieve after dreaming of being a transcendental person. Maybe there is nothing you want to achieve by bing a transcendental person. Just like howmon gods want to be strong, they dont even know themselves. But I am sure of one thing. The God of Proof couldnt control his body properly and staggered toward the entrance of the main camp of the orderly camp. You have the qualifications and will to move forward in order to dream of bing a transcendent. He said with his back turned to me, tongue-tied and amused. It seems that you dont know why you want to be strong, just like themon gods dont know why I want to be strong too. However, I felt that it was not a trashy mindset of wanting to be a transcendent and get rid of everything. Why? Even if what remains at the end of moving forward is a proof of strength that is extremely futile, you cannot stop the arrow at will once it leaves the string of the bow. Somehow, the god of proof seemed to have noticed why I wanted to move forward. Then lets go. Jerk-jerk-. If it is your wish to be a transcendentalist, shouldnt you? Suddenly, the God of Proof reached the point where he was about to go out of the headquarters of the orderly camp. Even if its just that your heart will be empty at the end of moving forward. It just didnt sound like a floating story. Isnt that what it means to have the qualifications and will to move forward? Transcendent. After bing an unprecedented powerhouse in the universe that surpasses even the ancient godhead, what is left? Even if even the three ancient deities called the rulers of this universe be untouchable, would that fact feel so special? Maybe you dont feel anything. Feed-. Anyway. It didnt matter. Anyway, it wouldnt be bad if I said that this side got stronger and the only thing I got was strength. At the end of moving forward, if you can no longer be oppressed by anyone, isnt that just enough? I wondered if this kind of mindset could be referred to as a being with the qualifications and will to move forward mentioned by the god of proof. In the end, even if nothing remains after bing a Transcendentalist, nothing will change. Kwaaaak. At that, I made a strange expression while looking at the holy relic Unshakable Faith (EX) in my right hand. Is it a way of life. A way of life. The god of proof has spent his whole life struggling in the name of proof, helping those who have the qualifications and will to move forward. Even if it is useless in the eyes of someone other than the god of proof, isnt it an action directly rted to the pride of life itself to him? What happens at the end of moving forward is only up to my thoughts. If so, it was just a non-issue. Shuk. Bing a transcendental person and surpassing everything is the only way I live and the pride of life itself. After I had finished my thoughts, the god of proof was ready to go out. hmm. Somehow, the story became longer on the topic of fakes that are not real. Gradually, the curtain of divinity ced in the headquarters of the orderly camp will disappear Lets break up at this point. I wish you luck. Seeing that, I pondered for a moment on what to say before parting my lips. not real, not fake. Took. The God of Proof, who suddenly heard those words, looked back as if asking what the hell he was talking about, but did not change his words. Even if all of this is just a story in a dream, the choices and decisions made by the god of proof are not fake beliefs that are not real. Its not like lying. To me, you were a god of proof that was no different from a fake, and a person who chose to live a proud life without giving up on his way of life to the end. Because its true. Even if it is worthless to others, the way of life and pride in life you showed me was real, not fake. This god of proof standing in front of my eyes chose the real life, not the fake one, with my own hands in the end, even if it was a fake that existed in the fake world, not the real world. is it? If so, that was real. What a lucky day. Is that why? Thanks to you, I can end my life real, not fake. swish Thank you. As it was, the god of proofughed once more, then turned his back and headed outside. You must have given me the qualifications, will and opportunity to move forward as well. and. Thanks to your words, even until the moment everything beyond this turns into a handful of sand and disappears, I can proudly say that I have lived a proud life without regrets. next moment. God of transcendence and death. In the blink of an eye, the god of proof went out of the headquarters of the orderly camp, and at the same time the shape of the body blurred, only thest words resounded quietly. Prove it. For some reason, gloomy flowed from the words of the author, who would have be a being that was not even a higher-ranking deity. show them who you are. How many steps are left until you be a transcendent? Because transcendental beings are what they should be. Hey hey hey hey hey. No need to waste any more time. thud-. The huge stone gate closes. I couldnt go outside until about ten minutes had passed. It was because I was thinking about how to respond to what the other side said. Feed-. but for a while. Is it the way transcendent people live? Its nothing else Even if you didnt tell them specifically, they would have told them at least who I was. That means one thing. [Folding Vortex] Chijijijijijijijijik!! It was simple. The god of transcendence and death smiles as she thinks of the great war that will happen in the future. it was time to go Chapter 451 451. Muddy water (3) I got out of the main camp of the orderly camp and used ck magic with Magi. A folding whirlpool The scenery of the space reflected in the field of view is distorted and the TV screen changes like a whirlwind. Chijijijijijijijijik!! There was no need to worry about where to go. The main stage where the war of the gods takes ce is only one at most. It is a ce where arge number of high-ranking deities and official deities as well as ancient deities are gathered, and it is a cramped space that is not suitable in many ways for one unit. But it has be an advantage now. Its not that difficult to detect all the spaces within a. It was worth it. Sensing space at the level of a level was something that could have been done without much trouble if he had the power he had gained from bing an ancient deity. The signs of the ancient deities that exist within the War of the Gods can also be found if the search is carried out in earnest. Did the god of time say that thest ce he went was down there on the southern front Thats a lot simpler than I thought. However, the reason why I didnt find each of the ancient deities hidden within the War of the Gods was because if I found them on this side, there was a high possibility that I would be found on the other side as well. There was no need to raise the search ability beyond simple space detection because we did not know what impact this side would have in surviving the war of the gods in the future. I dont know if hell still be there, but Id rather go to the southern front for tracking. I didnt have much time. Although the God of Time did not reveal everything to the three ancient deities, the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, it was clear that something was wrong. Not to mention, by the time this side faced off against the incarnation of the Dragon God on the Western Front, it was clear that the God of Time had met the God of Proof and had gained some kind of realization close to a prophecy. Be careful not to provoke the ancient deities who participated in the war of the gods, and at the same time, find out where only one god of time is and kill him. If I dont find and kill the god of time as quickly as possible, whether its the tower of trials or me Important information may be disseminated in the liver. At least its not easy. Maybe the god of time knows about this too, so theres a good chance hes hiding somewhere. But What is this? Contrary to what this side had thought, there was no particr need to find the God of Time. The divine power is condensing on the southern front, where the god of time is said to have gone. As this side used their physical senses and body magic to increase their spatial detection abilities, an anomaly was observed on the southern front. For the power of a high-level deity or official deity, the level of divinity is extremely high. I dont know why, but on the southern front, there was a situation where the power of the deity, which was beyond the scope of the upper deity or official deity, soared high into the sky. Ancient deity. It is also a level of strength that is different from the god of creation, the god ofw, and the god of miracles. Maybe hes stronger than me. and. Then there must be only one answer. From that, I was able to guess who the culprit was behind the most bizarre anomalies on the southern front. God of time That too, very clearly. *** Southern Front. A battleground where the war of the gods has turned to chaos and left empty with no fighting on either side, be it chaos or order. After noticing that an unusual phenomenon was taking ce there, a strange ominous feeling rose from deep within. Also, why is the God of Time concentrating the divine power from a ce like that? I couldnt understand. The current war of the gods has already been devastated by the three ancient gods, the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God. No matter what the god of time wanted, it didnt seem like there was anything to be gained by sending the divine power high into the sky from the southern front and concentrating it. Are you nning to use divine supernatural powers, god exclusive powers, or special powers to break the divine confrontation system? I frowned at him and tried to guess what the god of time was thinking. Perhaps the God of Time was trying to break the Divine Confrontation System, one of the main causes of the War of the Gods. No matter what, the war of the gods would not be possible any longer if there were no obstacles preventing the escape to the outside of the divine confrontation world. Even so, I dont think I can break the divine confrontation system with the power of the god of time alone. But that cant be all. If the god of time had noticed that this world itself was only fake, not real, he couldnt have known how foolish it was to leave the outside world. Even if the god of time leaves the war of the gods to an outer region, isnt that just a fake, not real? If the god of time isnt quite mindless, it would be correct to assume that he has some sort of hidden n. I know that the other side has an ulterior motive, but I couldnt exactly guess what they were thinking beyond that. If so, why not just check it yourself? Chak-. In an instant, he reached the beginning of the southern front, not the existing space, with the ck magic [Tending Vortex]. This far. In fact, what we wanted was not here, but to go to the center of the southern front, but there was nothing we could do. Its not easy to use abilities like teleportation since an ancient deity has condensed his divine power to such an extent. At that, I clicked my tongue and hid the divinity and mana inside the body. Perhaps because of the divine power that the God of Time has condensed on the southern front, the abilities of the space jump system are almost dead. Perhaps, if this side tries to move through the influence of the divine power scattered by the god of time, there is a high possibility that the other side will also notice the existence of the intruder. It cant be helped. Jerk-jerk-. In the midst of the war of the gods, he walked directly through the southern front line, which had been almost devastated, and looked around. In the ce where the mountain range was presumed to have existed before the war of the gods, there were bumpy piles of dirt and sand as well as unknown debris. After walking through the garbage dump-like entrance section of the southern front, a barren-lookingnd appeared before long. And Huh? The moment he looked with two eyes at the sky in the central zone, not at the beginning of the southern front, which was like a huge dump. What is this I realized. As this side thought, the god of time did not intend to end the work by destroying the divine confrontation system with divine power. The power of divine power imbued with the overwhelming power of divinity and the soul had a familiar structure. The divine realm? It was worth it. To put it bluntly, isnt that the power to form a home ground by putting the unique supernormal ability of a concept divine in a kind of barrier built with divine power? This sides special authority, creation of the divine realm, was also inferred because it was no different from the general principle of constructing the divine realm. I cant believe this is-. Its nothing else is the purpose of destroying the divine battle system and recing it with the divine realm? The God of Time is trying to rece the Divine Confrontation System, the biggest factor in establishing the War of the Gods, with his own Divine Realm. *** In an instant, I realized that the reason why the god of time had condensed the divine power in the southern front was to establish the divine realm. why? However, what this side spected and understood was only what kind of ability the God of Time was trying to use by condensing divine power like that. Even if the god of time tries to break down and rece the divine confrontation system, I dont think it will be very sessful Other than that, I couldnt guess anything further, so I stared nkly upstairs and saw Damcheonwu with a clicking sound. sent a message -Its the worst. It seems that the unknown god of time not only noticed about you, but also dug a trap to hunt you down. Its like being caught in a trap. trap? -her. Sometimes when I see you, I dont know if youre smart or stupid At times like now, its more of thetter. Somehow, even though youre an ancient deity, youre slow to catch on. DDivine confrontation system. Think about what the significance of its existence is. The God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles tried to forcibly bind the Ancient Gods, the Higher Gods, and the Official Gods in the war of the gods. like a cage. Isnt the god of time trying to hunt you after changing the divine confrontation system to the divine realm with the same principle? well. Well, the god of time must have thought so, but apart from that, it is unknown whether the attempt will seed. The odds of that happening are slim. After thinking about it for a few seconds, I answered. The battle system of divinity is a cage created by the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles. Even assuming that Dam Chun-wus guess was not wrong, it didnt seem to be very meaningful. Even if they are notparable to the cosmic lord of the universe, such as the god of darkness or the dragon god, the divine confrontation created by three people who have reached the level of ancient godhood is not to be ignored. DIn other words, from your point of view, the god of time will not be able to destroy the sacred battle system, so the n he has in mind will not work. yes. Not only that, but from before, not only the god of time, but also the god of darkness, the demon god, and the dragon god did not intend to break the divine confrontation system. Isnt that obvious? DAre you saying that the divine confrontation system is not easy to break even if the dark god, demon god, or dragon godes? That, too, is certainly not wrong. I dont think the author of the time god didnt think of that either. I think so too. At those words, I shrugged my shoulders and looked at the divine sphere floating high in the sky. But, in any case, the hypothesis itself that the god of time came up with a trap called the divine realm to hunt me doesnt have a weak feeling somewhere. -Why? Well, even if I assume that the god of time is digging a trap to hunt me down, I dont have the practical ability to execute it, and I dont know what to do for it. D To be honest, if destroying the divine confrontation system and establishing the sacred realm is to kill or seal me, isnt it a trap that is far from rational? If you dare to argue, there must be a better way than spreading out the sacred realm in order to kill or seal me. Perhaps the reason why the god of time was trying to spread the divine realm this far was not to kill or seal me. Even if the god of time destroys the divine battle system and then seeds in expanding the divine realm, there are many problems. Of course, it didnt matter whether it was or not. Its not a very good idea for a god of time to try to expand the divine realm. Yes, even if the god of time worked so hard to expand the divine realm, the possibility of his wishing true is very small. Because most of the ancient deities trapped in the War of the Gods will rebel as soon as the god of time opens the realm of divinity. -why? Until now, even if the battle of the gods had been unfolded in the war of the gods, everyone would not have reacted very much. I dont think I either like it or hate it. no. Thats because everyone doesnt think that the divine battle system is a divine realm with special unique effects. Of course, in reality, it seems to have the same unique effect as the divine realm < Model Garden >, but it doesnt look like it from the outside. DHmm Yeah,e to think of it, you didnt even notice that it was linked to the < model garden >, the sacred realm that the God of Creation had spread out until you heard the story directly from the God of Creation. So, I guess it hasnt been a problem so far. yes. If you notice that the divine battle system is not a quasi-divine realm without any abilities, you wont get a good reaction. Being in the real, holy realm means that you can be exposed to the opponents surprise attack at any time. DFor the same reason, if the god of time expands the divine realm, the ancient gods who did not intervene in the war of the gods will rebel in earnest. Thats right. That wasnt all. Well, of course there is a possibility that the god of time will take that risk and forcibly open the sacred realm without breaking the divine confrontation system, but that wont lead to a particrly good result. Whether or not to break the divine confrontation system, expanding the divine realm was not a good option. If you dont break the Divine Confrontation System and expand the Divine Realm under it, there is a high possibility that a battle for supremacy will ur between the Divine Realms. DA fight for leadership between the divine realms? There shouldnt have been such a thing when you used the divine < Dark Sky > to spread the divine realm. Is there any reason for that? Thats just because the divine battle system hasnt fully used the function of the divine realm until now. If the god of creation, who is responsible for unfolding the divine confrontation system, fully demonstrates his function as a divine realm, he will be able to crush the divine realm under hismand at any time. DHuh I see. understood. It means that if the god of creation starts to use the Divine Confrontation System as the Divine Realm, then the God of Time will not be able to spread the Divine Realm safely. Well, considering that what they want is his death, there is a lot of room for the divine realm that the god of time has opened to copse. Thats right. Hearing those words, Damcheonwu trembled the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and spat out words mixed withughter. DI wonder if my guess was wrong. Thats good. If the god of time spreads out the divine realm without knowing that fact, you should be able to gain the upper hand from the start. It feels good to think of strangling him to be a trap dug for hunting you. However The problem is that it doesnt seem likely to shake hands that the god of time will expand the divine realm, whether or not he destroys the divine confrontation system. The God of Time was a person with excellent information gathering ability as he found out the truth about the Tower of Trials and me. Is it right for the god of time to do so without knowing that it is a bad decision for the god of time to expand the divine realm? Thats why it was embarrassing. I dont know. I couldnt figure out the essential reason why the god of time was trying to change the divine battle system to the divine realm. After all, unless you ask the God of Time directly, theres no way youll know what hes trying to do. The moment I was about to take a step, leaving the ominous feeling behind me. widely-. [ -Thats not a bad idea. Asking the other person directly is also the way to get the right answer. Well, its not such a big secret, so theres no need to hide it. Ill answer you. ] It was then. [ Hmm. Did you say that after destroying the divine confrontation system, I will fill it with my divine realm? Well, if I had to question it, it should be close to the correct answer in the end, but its not reasonable in many ways in the details. ] Embossing Embossing -. [Dont you think that the premise that the divine realm will be opened only after breaking the divine confrontation system in the first ce or that you will be unterally pushed out of the divine realms leadership fight is wrong? ] Suddenly, not far from where I was standing, I heard the sound of a staff hitting the ground, and I heard the voice of the Divine in my ears. [If the divine confrontation system is a kind of divine realm, then breaking it down is no different from an unnecessary act. ] Without turning my head, I listened to the divine voiceing from the side. [You must have already put the correct answer in your mouth? Id say theres a battle for supremacy between the sacred realms. If the divine confrontation system is no different from the divine realm, it is more efficient to use this point rather than destroying it. ] I feel it. [Unlike themon struggle for leadership between sacred realms, there exists a coexistence of initiative and usurpation of initiative between sacred realms that ur under special conditions. ] Divinity and soul are essentially different from mine. [In one world and in one space, the two sacred areas are simr in terms of the range of effect activation or the level of the central concept of divinity. it happens ] Even if he does not reach the three ancient godheads, the god of darkness or the dragon god of demons, he can be ced right below them. [At that time, if one of the two divine realms does not continue to show the ability of the same in the coexistence of the initiative in the form of ovepping rather than a fight for leadership in the form of pushed out, then the divine power is taken away by the others sacred area and ovepped A seizure of power is taking ce. ] It was over there. [Divine confrontation system. Is there a reason for me to break it with such a hassle and difficulty? All I had to do was ovey the divine confrontation itself with my divine realm, swallow it, and use it. Well, it was a good guess in its own right for an entity that seems to have recently be an ancient deity. ] And The god of time is looking at you. [Seed of Ascension.] He was looking at me. Chapter 452 452. Muddy Water (4) God of Time. A cold sweat broke out on my back when I realized that an ancient god of the distant past, who existed before the Tower of Trials appeared, was standing right next to me. I couldnt understand why this side hadnt noticed the presence of that monstrous ancient deity until just before it came next. how the hell did this happen? It was hard to understand. I didnt let down my guard against the god of time. I couldnt believe it even though I noticed that there was a god of time right next to where I was standing. Theres no way the god of time could notice that Ivee here so quickly? From the beginning, I came here fully prepared to not be caught by the god of time. It is a bar that captures the energy of divinity and mana and hides it tightly inside the body so that it cannot be detected by using skills and powers as well as techniques. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no element anywhere that would allow the other side to notice that I hade to the southern front. The god of time looks at you and smiles. [Seed of Ascension. Why is there no answer? Did my words offend you? Or] But there was no time to ponder what the hell was wrong. The god of time looks at you and lets out augh as if its fun. Were you even startled by my sudden appearance in front of you? If thats the case, Im really sorry. If I have scared you, I will offer you a sincere apology. ] When I didnt get an answer, the god of time started making sarcastic remarks. well. I cant even be silent any longer. What? Feed-. If I had to question it, I think it would be more urate to say that I was annoyed rather than surprised. Contrary to my embarrassment inside, I responded calmly as if on the outside it wasnt like that at all. That person suddenly pretended to be close to me, saying that he was the seed of ascension on his own when he first met, so I just kept silent because I was dumbfounded. And in the meantime, in my heart, I noticed that the other person had no intention of fighting right away, and cut the confusion like a knife at once. Lets stay calm. It didnt do any good to express my surprise at not finding out that the god of time had even arrived. Even if youpare it to the logic ofmon animal instincts, you can see that if you show weakness in front of a beast, you will only fall into prey. I pretended nothing was wrong and quickly guessed in my head how the god of time could have noticed that we were here and sneaked in. No matter how strong the god of time is, theres no way he cane this far without being noticed by me. Surprisingly, the answer was closer than expected. Perhaps the reason why the god of time was able toe right next to me without being noticed by me was not because of his strong body power, but rather because he used his divine supernormal ability or special authority. I also obtained various skills and powers while climbing the Tower of Trials, and obtained the ability to block presence that ismon even to high-level strongmen. Its fun. Then it wouldnt be surprising if the other side had abilities simr to mine. Did you say that the purpose was not to fight for leadership between divine realms, but to coexist with leadership and seize leadership derived from it? I seeded in regaining myposure and turned my head to look at the god of time standing right next to me. I cant stopughing thinking that such an expedient to prate the gap is the target you nned. Observed. an old man-like appearance. Like all the wizards he had seen while climbing the Tower of Trials, the god of time was dressed like a typical wizard holding a staff in an antique robe. The god of time expresses interest in your provocation and giggles. You could think of it that way. Well, in the eyes of a seed of ascension like you, I must be nothing more than a piece of junk rolling on the street. What is the meaning of struggling in the face of such a brilliant possibility? you must be tough ] The God of Time smiled as if he was annoyed and continued talking. [Doesnt it make sense to you to hear that Im going to ovey the divine confrontation system with my divine realm? ] The eyes reflected in his two pupils contain feelings such as jealousy. [I guess so. For the Seed of Ascension, which devours everything, walls are something that must be broken down and ovee. However, unlike you, my age increases even if I live for a long time, and in the end, there is only despair that I cannot move forward, so I cannot fight noblely like a being like you. ] Should I say that I look like Im jealous of everything I have? [So understand. ] In the words of the god of time, an indescribable feeling of envy oozes out. [ Seed of Ascension. Unlike you, I am an unsessful failure. There is nothing I can do but struggle. ] After hearing his words, myposure returned perfectly and I responded coldly. okay? At this point, the curiosity about the god of time even subsides. That sounds like a loser. Up until now, climbing the Tower of Trials and hearing all sorts of envious words made me feel annoyed. Actually, I was curious about what kind of existence the god of time would be And I told him the story that came from the depths of my heart. This must have been a loser who didnt even have to wonder. As if he didnt like it, the God of Time narrowed his eyes and shut his mouth. [ . ] Instead of speaking harshly, I continued talking as if I was annoyed. Moreover, the question I asked earlier was, for what reason did you see me and talk about me as the seed of ascension? The god of time also responded to those words. The god of time looks at you coldly and replies. [ Seed of Ascension. You are the one who will transcend everything and ascend high into the sky. So thats what I called it. ] That was an irritating answer. Its hard to answer bluntly. I wasnt sure why the god of time called me the Seed of Ascension, so in many ways nothing was clear. I just wanted to find out how much you know about the Tower of Trials or about me, but isnt it as easy as I thought. Currently, it is certain that he has attained enlightenment close to the prophecy, but it is difficult to say for sure where to start because the depth of the information he has found out separately is just cut. If you know about the Tower of Trials at a fairly deep level, its highly likely that the reason why youre hostile to me like that is not because you want to kill me or seal it. I was curious. How far does the god of time know the truth beyond that this world is fake, not real? If you know that the War of the Gods is fake, not real, and that there is a transcendental structure called the Tower of Trials, then the n to kill or seal me is close to a bad idea. Thats why I tried to find out how far the other side knew, but it failed. Aftering this far, its not a surprise attack, but rather a conversation, so that means that they dont really want to fight right now. Perhaps the god of time is also well aware of the value of the information he has, so he doesnt seem to want to increase information exposure It would be difficult if there was one. Then there is no need to talk anymore. lets fight. After thinking about it, I came up with the most reasonable judgment in the current situation and then pretended nothing was wrong and removed my lips. Seed of Ascension. I wonder if a loser like you really knows what that means. It feels that way all the more because there is no one answer in particr. Still, I didnt show any sign of fighting, as if I was also thinking of talking to the god of time. Actually, arent you calling a subject that you dont know about me too by giving it a random name? and. The god of time looks at you nkly and smiles. Well, you have the right to say that, so I wont say anything. Let them talk as they please] ordingly, the moment when the god of time spits out a series of words with an irritatingugh. Skill Combat eleration is activated. Skill Focus on Combat is activated Skill Instantaneous eleration activates It started. I encountered a strong opponent that is difficult for me to handle as a user. The skill Indomitable Will is activated. The numerous powers she had gained while climbing the Tower of Trials so far surged through her entire body, putting her in the best fighting condition. The special spell activation conditions have been met. The special spell < Despise the Powerful > is activated. All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. The God of Time is not at the same level as the three ancient Godheads, but isnt it a higher level of divinity than this one? The authority Winter King is automatically activated when the conditions are met. All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all. The special power Single Duel is strongly activated.. .. In a 1:1 duel with an opponent, the users divinity consumption value is reduced by 15% This bes easier and all skill proficiency increases by 300% Even among the paddles held in hand, most of the powers that would not be activated unless certain conditions were met were activated. Boss skill skill Grace of Wind is activated. All speeds increase by 180%. Current skill ovep progress C [18] Activating divinity, skill, and authority, he ran forward. ! very quickly too. Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! In an instant, I moved at supersonic speed and poured out my strength in the direction where the god of time was standing. The situation with the holy light, which is currently considered the best attack method avable to me, and the mortal me that does not go out. And not only that, but a lot of divinity, skill myths, and powers such as authority were mixed, and it had destructive power close to the maximum output, so it could be called a special move. Perfect. In fact, the timing of surprise attacks, as well as the perfection of various skills and skillbos, were also impable. Its the best blow. so i was sure So Nolimsu seeds. The other side must be fooled too. There was really nothing different. Divine < Save > is activated, and absolute defense is possible only for the first attack. The god of time may not be one of the three ancient gods, but isnt he a strong man with a high level of divinity and umted experience over a long period of time? The god of time is flustered by your surprise attack and at the same time vents her anger. [Ha! Seed of Ascension, did you think I would fall for such a low-level surprise attack? How stupid ] Thats right, I have no choice but to catch up with the supersonic movement this side is showing with my body vision, and to defend it with my hidden hand no matter what level of special moves I show. no. obviously. Because it wasnt an attack that I decided that you would hit. so you win The authority Shunbo is activated. A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes. Consumes holy power to move to a desired point within sight. Landing-. The god of transcendence and death smiles. ] The first blow was just a fake. I am astounded by the unexpected number of the god of time. [What is this!! ] It was just a goal written to consume the unique ability of the evasion or defense system so that the god of time could not survive. Divinity < Death > is used. The death of everything eroded by Divinity < Death > can be controlled. Divinity < Evil Eating > is used It possesses the power to devour] Divinity < attachment > is dead Parasitic on objects touched by the divinity, absorbs life force and controls it There is another special move. The divine power-only power, Pure Seeker of Death is activated. All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will gradually be contaminated with life, magic, and divinity. All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will lose their lives and It takes fixed damage to the essential element that is directly connected to it. All beings touched by the divine < Death > can never avoid the damage caused by the seeker of pure death. Poof! The absolute death that existed only to annihte the other party shone while dwelling in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword. [ ! ] The god of time hurriedly shouted something and seemed to be btedly responding, but I knew that was also meaningless. Whether the god of time paints the sacred battle system into the sacred realm and robs it, or if he intends to use a hidden hand, its the end if he takes the first attack and presses it. At that, I smiled inwardly in a world that had reached supersonic speed. I couldnt understand why the god of time hade this far without changing the divine confrontation system to the divine realm. As soon as I saw that this side came to the southern front, I would not have been able to guarantee my life or death if I had prepared all kinds of preparations and went into battle fully prepared. It was an easy victory somehow. Its over But tsutsutsu. It was then. uh? The world is dyed in darkness. Should I say that everything in front of me looks like a ck and white reversed photograph? In the blink of an eye, I felt my whole body be heavy like lead and swallowed up in darkness. This is nothing else Its not even that. Hwa-ah! light. In an instant, empty space split open, and a human figure made of light appeared from there. And at the same time I realized that it was an ancient deity that I had seen once before, I felt a tremendous shock in my stomach and my vision trembled. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Just like that, as soon as the shaking of my vision disappeared, I realized that I was stuck in the ground that had been hollowed out like a crater, and I spat out blood. Tumble tumble-. There is no need to figure out how this happened. The God of Time breaks into a cold sweat and lets out a sigh of relief. Didnt I tell you that Seed of Ascension They say that the only thing that has increased in my long life is not my strength, but my poor struggles. I must be destined to lose to a strong man like you. I have insured myself for a situation like this. ] And the moment I staggered out of the hollow pit while recovering the wounds on my body with gray blood. ah. I was desperate. [ it was true. ] A woman wearing a ck robe utteredplex words while surrounded by overwhelming darkness. [ You are a child with powers and talents that have never been seen anywhere else. ] the dark god. The god of darkness looks at you and smiles bitterly. ] Among the three ancient deities, the supreme leader of the universe with a high level of strength was in front of him. [ If this ce is not real but fake, it means that even I am destined to disappear as soon as he gets what he wants. ] Not even that. [ I want to live. ] Standing next to it was a group of human-shaped lights with the same brilliance as the light itself, something I had never seen before. The god of light looks at you and shows hostility. [I never want to die no matter what. ] Its nothing else [Even if this is just a fake world thats not real, and even Im just a fake imitating the real thing, I cant die for just you.] God of light. Although not the three ancient deities, a strong man who can bepared to them created an atmosphere of life and death. He uttered a divine voice filled with great determination and at the same time expressed his will to survive. I looked at it and stayed nk for a while before bursting intoughter. ah. worst case scenario. The number of cases in which the god of time informs the truth and seeks cooperation from the three ancient deities or powerful people equivalent to them. Until now, I had been careful, hoping that such a thing would not happen, but in the end, my ominous premonition was correct and hit. Its ruined. fell into the swamp of death. Chapter 453 453. Muddy water (5) Death. From the moment I saw the three ancient deities in front of me, the overwhelming scent of death passed through my nose. For some reason, it reminded me of my mortal days when I was only in a hurry to climb the Tower of Trials one floor. ah. The days when every moment was a crisis because I couldnt see an inch ahead came back to life in a corner of my head. Even if he gave up his life even once, when he couldnt be revived with any ability, he would always give up his flesh and bones and tremble in fear, knowing that he would have to risk a victory with a slim chance. It was a feeling that was almost forgotten after bing an ancient god and not only achieving the immortality of the concept of reconciliation with the concept divinity itself, but also gaining the powers rted to rebirth. Is that why? Koo Woo-wook. Before I knew it, I noticed that my whole body was shaking weakly, and I sped my hands tightly to suppress the trembling. Damn it Isnt it a situation where you have to deal with the god of time, in addition to the god of darkness, who is called one of the three ancient deities, and the god of light, who seems to be just below him, even if he doesnt fall short of him. I never thought Id suddenly face the God of Darkness, the God of Time, and the God of Light all at once in this way Seungri? That wasnt even the number of cases that could already be considered. It was even questionable whether something worthy of being called a fight could be established. Its the worst. It was natural. After defeating the incarnation of the dragon god, the divine and spiritual qualities have be quite strong, but they are not at the level of facing them. At the point where the fatal blow that this side had abruptly dealt with the god of time went back to nothing, there was no point in doing anything anymore. If only the God of Light was next to the God of Time, I might have managed to endure it, but even that is impossible with the God of Darkness. Damn it. Is victory close to impossible? No matter how many times you think about it, the answer youe to after thinking does not change. In this hellish desperate crisis situation, the realistic countermeasures are to immediately leave the seat and run away as far as possible, or to pretend to run away and aim for individual defeats. However, no matter which one you choose, it will be meaningless at the point when the god of time seeds in changing the divine confrontation system into the divine realm. No matter what choice they made, it was only a matter of time, and the moment had toe when they would face it head-on. But whether we fight now or run away without a duel, it doesnt change the fact that both will end up fighting against each other. In the midst of fear and tension, I managed to suppress the trembling of my body and forced a smile. Then lets go simply. If so, wouldnt the answer be fixed? chuck. In response, I stepped forward without retreating an inch and caught my breath. The dark god is watching your actions and feels great interest. [ Its strange. Hey, why are you so afraid of us and not running away? ] Is that why? I wonder why the god of darkness is trying to fight against you instead of running away. [Answer me. ] Standing in front of the god of time, the god of darkness, unlike the god of light next to him, showed a lot of interest and asked a question. Even if I run away from here anyway, if the god of time changes the divine battle system to the divine realm, its no different than putting it in the palm of your hand. Im probably curious about why this side doesnt run away from them and act as if theyre trying to fight back. There is nothing to hide. however close to impossible it may be to win. To that, I perfectly drew out the divine power umted in my body and answered while wearing the divine armor. Coo-goo-goo-goo-! The god of transcendence and death reveals the divine power without hiding it, and enters into battle. [Isnt it a question that has yet to be answered whether I will win or lose? ] All or nothing. A gambler close to beating a rock with one egg, with almost no chance of winning. However, despite this, he does not back down because he knows that neither victory nor defeat can be obtained without fighting the game. The god of transcendence and death smiles triumphantly as he looks at the formidable enemies. ] Even if it seems impossible, in the end, if you dont throw the dice, the result wont evene out. pair pair-. But The God of Darkness expresses sincere surprise at your will. [Thats great. ] Did the other side like it? The god of darkness looks at you and smiles. [Whoops! Thats right. In the end, you cant decide until you fight yourself. Child, youre absolutely right. ] Unlike the god of light who seemed displeased for some reason, the god of darkness spoke with a divine voice that exuded deep satisfaction. The dark god looks at all your actions as if they are lovely. [Ah. I dont know how long its been since Ive seen such a wonderful child. Not only did he have the talent to be an ancient deity himself, but he was so pure. Its unfortunate. ] There was something in her eyes shining under the ck robe that could not be epted favorably. [If all of this were real, not fake, I would have quietly watched your story and expected where it would reach, but that couldnt be the case. ] Greed was flowing out of her eyes, as if a screw hade off somewhere. [In the end, if all of this is just a story in a dream that will disappear when you open your eyes, there is no need to endure it any longer] . Every time the dark god uttered a divine voice, the darkness made of divinity slowly spread as if swallowing the entire space. The dark god looks at you and hands you a token of affection. ] As soon as the Dark God stretched out his hand, the darkness made of divinity poured out in all directions. Coo coo coo coo coo!! It was as if the darkness made of divinity hadpletely blocked the escape route as if this side would no longer be able to retreat. The dark god feels a strong possessive desire for you and spreads his divine power all over the ce. [Ahdont worry. Hey, when you open your eyes, a new world will open up for you. Have a good nights sleep. ] And. The god of light shows intense wariness and hostility toward you, raising the divine power. To say such a thing in front of three ancient deities. Id like to praise you for your bravery, but if you cant tell the difference between courage and arrogance, youll get angry someday. like now. ] ordingly, the moment when the God of Light, who was standing next to the God of Darkness, said that as if he would not tolerate it any longer and took a step forward. Woo woo woo woo woo woo! Divine energy rose wildly here and there. The god of time sneers at you, stretches out his hand and activates his divine supernormal ability. yes yes good fight! Now, seed of ascension, resist with all your might! Until the divine confrontation system changes to the divine realm, this will also be entertainment! ] The god of time used the two ancient deities as a shield and hid himself. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, various auras made of divinity devour the space and shoot out with the sound of tearing the air. ! That means one thing. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The match has begun. *** ! The sight is densely colored with various auras made of divinity. The situation in which the entire space itself was almost engulfed just by the lightly firing of the supernatural abilities of the three ancient gods. I gritted my teeth and ran forward, maximizing the power of my skills, powers, divinity, and mythology. I unleash all the power I can use while only saving my trump paddle. The unique skill, Dry is activated. Even an attack that cannot be dispelled will be able to be shed. An overwhelming divine storm that could destroy the world itself in an instant Forcibly twist it and pour it out. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The terrain changed as this side managed to shed the divine energy poured out from the other side with the unique skill Sleep. Woo woo woo woo woo-. At the very least, in order to gauge each others strength, a light blow spreads the terrain like a snack and splits the ground. So, so, so, so-! But . Kiyi Lee Ying ! Rather than being surprised by the momentum that seemed to destroy the world, I violently mixed and exploded the divine starlight and mortal mes to counterbnce and collide with each other. Kkwajijijijijijijik-! sh of power. Divinity and divinity collided with each other and entered a state of power struggle, but the holy light reinforced by the soul source demon sword and the unextinguished mortal me were not pushed by even the most conceptual divinity with pure attack power. Even the divine auras that seemed to devour the world as a whole could not withstand the attack power of the two powerful skills, Holy Light and Undying me of Mortality. Whoa-! At the cost of each others divinity and divinity collided, it was shattered and scattered like snowkes, and at the same time the field of vision was wide open. Jijijijijijijijik-! But Kung-! The result of the power contest was very different from what was expected. The Dark God stood still and did not step back, but the two ancient deities standing beside and behind him seemed to be unable to win in a contest of strength unlike her. The God of Time, with his eyes narrowed, was touching his right hand as if it were slightly painful, and the God of Light was showing an emotion close to astonishment even when he pretended to be. Doesnt that mean one thing? Is it a draw? It was a whistle. Well, the three ancient deities standing in front of me didnt fight with all their strength, but they fought for strength with the mindset of light battles, so I cant say that this one is stronger It means quite a bit that I, not them, have a slight advantage in a contest of strength. The god of light is astonished at the size of your power. [What the hell is this? ] The god of the west hour went on with augh. The god of timeughs hysterically when he realizes that your power is out of the expected range. [I see. Is this really the seed of ascension? It seems that there is a difference in skill even in a light workshop. I didnt know that you could advertise like this with a power that wasnt divine supernatural power Youre a monster as expected. ] The god of darkness also uttered a divine voice, as if he hadnt felt anything like the two ancient gods. The Dark God feels proud of the power you have built up. [Sacred light I dont know how the hell he learned the skill of the Dragon God, but as expected, his skills dont betray expectations. It is clear that he went through a lot of hardships to be that strong and did not neglect his efforts. Its a talent to look forward to in the future. ] At most, the god of time or the god of light recognized that she was defeated by an unknown force in a contest of strength, but unlike the two, she noticed many things. [Moreover, that unknown ck me of yours seems to have little to do with divinity, but there is a reason close to some kind of device. ] It was discovered that the power skill Eternal me, which was one of the skills originally obtained from the Tower of Trials, was dependent on the system, unlike the techniques they knew. [Hey, I want to know more about you in a gentle way like I just did, but its a pity. ] One, and that for a while. I feel regret that the god of darkness cannot spend more time with you. [ Im sorry, but unlike the two of them, I have too much power to continue the match. ] next moment. Activate Divine < Darkness > to engulf the designated target. Activate Divine < Dawn >, and the Divine Darkness contains a hit effect Divine < Darkness > Activated, the darkness made of divinity seals the divinity and magical power An overwhelming power that is different from the light attacks that the god of darkness has shown so far covers the entire space. What I cant avoid it. Only btedly noticed that the supernatural powers of the divine < Darkness >, the divine < Darkness >, and the divine < Darknight > were activated threefold. Before this one could do anything in particr, the power of the divine < Dark > touched his body as if teleported by the stroke effect of the divine < Dawn >, and the divine power within the body began to dissipate with the divine < Dark Night >. The divine power is scattered!! Not even that. I tried to get rid of the divine < darkness > by using divine abilities such as divine < victory > or divine < protective protection >, but even that didnt work. In the divinity < darkness > written by the god of darkness, the divinity < daylight > and the divinity < dark night > were mixed, and among them there was also the power to seal the divinity and magical power. What the hell is this!! In fact, he could not even use the divine < victory > or the divine < protective protection >, and had no choice but to be captured by the other party. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!! Not even that. I tried to activate the attack nullification effect using the Regressors Worn Watch (SSS+) that I had, but it didnt work. It seems that among the divine supernormal abilities written by the dark god, there is also the power to block the activation of exclusive effects of holy relics and items. Damn it . How should I do this? Even more so, even if you get out of a crisis situation with a resurrection ability like the skill Last Resistance, if you think about the power of the dark god, even resistance is impossible. As long as there is a link attack between the Divine < Darkness >, the Divine < Darkness >, and the Divine < Darknight >, there is nothing I can do to get out of here. It was clear why in this universe, only the three ancient deities, the Dark God and the Demon God Dragon God, were treated as real rulers. Those three ancient deities have a mighty power that is iparable to me and other ancient deities in the first ce. Does this mean that in front of the god of darkness, we cannot fight any more unless we are strong at the level of a dragon god or a demon god? Should I use it now? Even if the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > equalizes the level of divinity and spirit, and the ovepping activation of divine < fighting spirit > shows a movement that reaches the speed of light itself, let alone victory, how many minutes can itst? I dont know. It was unknown. As long as there is not only the god of darkness, but also the god of time and the god of light, even he will struggle. I bit my lips as I felt that the divinity and magical power of my whole body had been sealed in the divine < darkness >pletely. How on earth can I win But Chuck-. That too was only for a moment. The god of light looks at you and breathes a sigh of relief. ] Before I knew it, the god of light came to where I was and held out his index finger to my forehead. keying-. The god of light smiles confident of victory. [Goodbye. Well, I have to be a little sick. Death doesnt exist for the ancient gods, so it should be fine. There will probably be a lot of time to talk about things the next time you wake up. Lets see it again then. ] Realizing that there was nothing I could do about it, I gritted my teeth. After the skill Last Resistance is activated, theres nothing you can do except use all your strength. I frowned at that fact and tried to think about what to do after the skill Final Resistance was activated, but it didntst long. Deed!! Suddenly, the entire space surrounded by divine < darkness > shook, and at the same time, I heard theughter and voice of a familiar woman somewhere. kick-. [ You say death doesnt exist for ancient deities? ] The voice of the divinity resounds as if it is angry somewhere. [ you. Maybe it would be better to cover up the words? Its because it doesnt look good to talk about it when you dont know it well. ] It was a sign of a true strongman who was reborn as a tribal god representing a race itself and the ruler of the universe. [ and-. ] next moment. [Dont mess around with my heir anymore, get your hands off it. ] realizing who it was, I couldnt help butugh inside. The dragon god cant control his anger and his eyes light up. [Youre on the verge of being killed by me. ] Of course. Divine < Dragon Word > is activated, consuming divine power, and using the Dragon Word, the power to interfere with certain objects and phenomena within a certain range is exerted. . Next moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the blink of an eye, the body of the god of light in front of me flew backwards andnded on the ground as if it had been hit by something invisible. Chak-. [ you said youde back right away as soon as I regained my strength, right? ] And at the same time, a familiar young-looking womannded right in front of me and looked at me. The dragon god looks at you and smiles. [Heir.] Dragon god. One of the three ancient deities, one with absolute power that can equal even the God of Darkness. In a muddy battle with no hope at all, the most hopeful being has reappeared, this time as an ally rather than an enemy. Chapter 454 454. Catastrophe (1) Yongshin. As one of the three ancient deities and the ruler of the universe, a being that straddled the borderline of the transcendent. A real strongman with a level of power that can fight even with the dark gods and demons has appeared. Yongsin I was perplexed. Is what I saw right now correct? Isnt it a situation that has been far away from prediction? At this point, I even doubted if this was real. It is not particrly strange that the dragon god came here precisely because there is no way he could not detect the power struggle between the ancient gods couldnt exin it Why on earth is the Dragon God helping me? Well, there was no reason why the dragon god should intervene in this fight. Even though the God of Time didnt say anything to the Dragon God, unlike the God of Darkness and the God of Light, the other side also noticed that I was a foreign being. Originally, from the perspective of those who exist in the war of the gods, I am a being who cannot even guess where I came from. Even if he came to help me because he wanted to make me his sessor, it would have been okay to discuss treatment after joining the other side and securing me. Even if the dragon god hadnt heard the truth from the god of time, he would have known that I was alien, and if you think about it, its only natural that he neutralizes me rather than helping me. Not even that. Not enough, the Dragon Gods incarnation was smashed by us on the Western Front, so the main body is also in a state of considerable damage. In any case, there is absolutely no reason to intervene in the fight by siding with me. But I didnt. But. Jerk-jeok-. The dragon god looks at you and smiles mischievously. [ Heheung. heir. Did you make it clear then? Ill find you soon. ] The dragon god smiled with a smile as if he didnt even know that. At the same time she spat out words mixed withughter, she moved her steps, and before long, she unleashed a divine supernormal ability. It wasnt too difficult to realize that it was a supernormal ability of the divine that I even experienced myself not too long ago. Divine < Dragon Word > is activated, consuming divine power, and using the Dragon Word, the power to interfere with certain objects and phenomena within a certain range is exerted. . The power of the divine < Dragon Word > with absolute authority that is iparable to the divine < Lord of Words > that this side possesses breaks the darkness made of divinity. Crackle-! And ordingly, I felt that all the powers bound by the Divine < Darkness >, the Divine < Dawn >, and the Divine < Dark Night > were released. chin-. As it is, after escaping from the darkness made of divinity, I parted my lips feeling a strange feeling towards the dragon god. When you said you were going to visit me at that time, it didnt sound like you were going to help me in this way, but youre kind. Yongshin replied with a yful smile on his lips. [ Heheung. Well did I say that? I guess its because the heir thinks Im disrespectful? Ive always been on the side of the heir. ] Is that why? Its still the same. At that, I sighed and continued to speak in a light tone. well. It doesnt always seem like hes on my side, seeing as hes still trying to make him his sessor without my consent well, at least it seems like that now. I still couldnt figure out why the Dragon God was helping me and what kind of thoughts and goals he moved with. So But one thing was certain. thank you. It cant be said that the dragon god was always on my side, but the fact that she loved me that much didnt change. Without you, I wouldnt havee this far. Those were the words he wanted to convey not only to the fake Dragon God who exists in the War of the Gods, but also to the Dragon God who exists outside the Tower of Trials. It might have been difficult toe this far if it wasnt for the help the dragon god gave me continuously. If the dragon god hadnt favored me, it would have been a hindrance to gaining the strength I have now while climbing the Tower of Trials. [ . ] But after hearing that, Yongshin avoided looking at her with his cheeks stained red as if he wasnt used to it somewhere. The dragon god is taken aback by your words. [ hehehehehe. Its fortunate that theter heirs are well aware of that fact. If you know the favor, you can pay it backter. ] I nodded as I felt that most of my divinity, magic, and other powers had returned. yes. I think so. Well, I owe you a lot in my own way. If there is ater one, I will make sure to act as the sessor. These words were said casually, but as the dragon god felt, her eyes widened. [ uh? really? You said you would be my sessor, right? is that right? Youre not viting that statement by saying you forgot itter or changed your mind? huh? ] Thats not enough, the appearance of getting a definite answer while being caught in the doubt that I could cast a change of words. yes. I will definitely keep what I said. So dont worry too much and help me out a bit more. There is a lot of work to be done. and. Because youre not the only one targeting me. ordingly, the moment I turned my eyes to the God of Darkness, the God of Time, and the God of Light. The god of darkness feels intense displeasure with the dragon god. [ the dragon god. What the hell are you doing? ] said the Dark God in a chilling voice. [ Step back. ] Under the ck robe, her eyes shed with a cold murderous intent. [Yongsin. For some reason, he suddenly intervened in a topic that he did not even understand the truth of the incident. Isnt this too out of ce even if its out of context? ] At this point, even if the god of time standing behind him or the god of light sitting next to him wanted to say something, he was crushed by her bloody spirit and even closed his lips. The dark god feels anger towards the dragon god and smiles. [And that child is not a lumber under you. ] The god of darkness may havecked even that, and continued his speech with feelings close to envy that he had never seen before. [To you, the child is just a doll to be used as a double under the name of the sessor, but unlike you, I have a way to bring the childs brilliant talent to bloom. ] But The dark god cant control his anger. [So get out of the way. ] The dragon god answered with a smile, not caring about the feelings of anger and jealousy that the god of darkness spewed out. [ ah-. ] At first nce, it seemed as if he did not feel any appreciation for the words of the god of darkness. [Is that so? ] Nevertheless, as I was standing right next to the Dragon God and had quite a conversation with her, I was able to notice that feelings of anger were swirling around her. [That also makes sense. ] Actually, there was no difference. [ But what about this? ] Kuwook. Suddenly, the Dragon God strode towards me and wrapped his arms around my neck as if to show off somewhere. The dragon godughs at the god of darkness. ] And [ Really? ] Seeing that, the God of Darkness nodded as if he understood, and emitted divine power. [All right then. ] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!! I dere that the Dark God will no longer solve the problem by talking. [I will take the child anyway. ] In an instant, the God of Darkness suppressed the Dragon God along with the entire space with the divinity < Darkness >. Dan Dragon God is also called the three ancient deities and is a being reborn as the head of the universe. The dragon god condensed the divine starlight with the tip of his right index finger and released it forward. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! When the darkness made of divinity and the starlight collided and met, space was distorted in an instant, and each others blows disappeared together. Took. And at the same time, the dragon god let out a sigh as if regretting it, and continued talking while a little away from me. [ hmm. heir. I think I need to break up with you for a while. Ille see you againter after I finish talking to the Dark God, so wait for me. ] It seems that from now on, I will have to separate myself from this side in order to deal with the god of darkness in a direct power confrontation rather than a war of nerves I understand. It didnt matter. In the meantime, I will be dealing with the God of Time and the God of Light, so feel free to go. After all, just having one less enemy to deal with is a huge harvest. [ okay? Thanks to this heir, I can fight with peace of mind. As expected, its the confidence of my sessor. ] The dragon god said that proudly, and then turned his head and parted his lips just before leaping. [Then Ill be back. ] And with those words, the dragon god leaped as if lightly pushing the ground and headed for the ce where the god of darkness was. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu! In the blink of an eye, the divine starlight collided with the divine darkness, and a huge roar rang out, so I turned my gaze and looked at the enemies. The god of time frowns at the unpredictable situation. [ tsk. I never thought Id be so lucky Dragon god A more troublesome being than I thought intruded. ] The god of time slowly widened his distance, realizing that the god of darkness had disappeared and was unable to hide anywhere. [God of light, I think I should advance my n. ] The God of Time floated high into the sky and delivered the words to the God of Light. [ I will quickly change the divine confrontation system to my divine realm, so in the meantime, hold on to that seed of ascension so that it does not escape. ] At this point, it seems that the other side could end up reversing the charter if it drags on any longer. Wow-. The god of time bids you farewell for a while. [Then see youter, Seed of Ascension. ] The god of time gave an eerieugh and finished his words at the same time, opened a gap in space and threw the model over it. To be honest, I wanted to run out and cut my throat right away so that the god of time wouldnt escape, but I couldnt. The god of light smiles at you. [Now, you and I are left alone. ] God of Light. It was because the ancient Godhead, who seemed to be on a par with the three Ancient Godheads, was looking at me viciously scattering holy power. He continued talking in a tone mixed with an eerieugh, as if he was happy with the situation itself, where the two of them were left alone. [What do you want? Seed of Ascension. No matter where you go, front or back, there is no ce where you can survive. that youre trapped No matter how strong you are, you are weaker than me, right? You have no choice but to hold out against me until the dragon god returns. ] But No. Perhaps that person had misunderstood something. Its the exact opposite. I looked at him as if I was dumbfounded and replied. Anyway, you have to be honest. [ what? ] Arent you trapped, not me? [ . ] The god of light was silent, expressing embarrassment as if he had not expected to hear such a thing from me, but isnt it true? Because you are weaker than me. Of course, I had to feel that this was not the case with the God of Light. [Thats nonsense again] But thats just that the god of light can hear that kind of sentiment. Its real. Just like that, I took out a holy relic that looked like a bright red jewel from my inventory, held it tight, and smiled. Shall I show you? and. . Divine < fighting spirit > is activated with the effect Will to Fight exclusive to the Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+) . The relic will disappear. The relic held in this persons right hand, the Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+), was activated while system messages obscured the view. . Divine < Fighting Spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used. With Divine < Fighting Spirit >, challenger Seongyoon Han receives arge buff in proportion to the level of fighting spirit. With Divine < Fighting Spirit > The recovery speed and total amount of recovery are increased by 10000 times. Divine < Fighting Spirit > increases all physical abilities by 10000 times. Divine < Fighting Fighting > increases the attack speed by 10000 times With divine < fighting spirit >, the external divine resistance ability is increased by 10,000 times That means one thing. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! The god of transcendence and death enjoys the amplification of his power and clenches his hands tightly . It means that you have acquired the level of power that you can beat to your hearts content. Chapter 455 455. Catastrophe (2) Suss-. There was something felt at the same time that the holy relic, Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+), became a handful of ashes and disappeared. . Divine < fighting spirit > is activated with the effect Will to Fight exclusive to the Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+) . The holy relic will disappear. Its nothing else Divine < Fighting Spirit > is automatically used when the conditions are met. Divine < Fight > increases the recovery speed and total amount of recovery by 10000 times. Divine < Fight > increases all physical abilities by 10000 times. Divinity < Fight > increases attack speed by 10000 times It will Divine < fighting spirit > increases the external divine resistance ability by 10,000 times It was power. Deed! Thats huge too. Kwaaaak-. In an instant, with the ovepping activation of divine < fighting spirit >, numerous strengths are strengthened, starting with physical abilities. If all this side did was lightly clenching both hands, the power that could destroy the entire space itself would be condensed. Seeing that, I felt an empty smile form on my lips, and then took a deep breath and enjoyed the madly increased power. under. It was worth it. It doesnt change even if the only thing that can be increased by the ovepping activation of divine < fighting spirit > is physical power based on physical ability and small elements. Even though I had only activated one divine supernormal ability, in reality the difference between me before and now was close to dozens of times. Really. At this point, I felt something close to a sense of liberation. Although essential powers such as divinity or spirit did not increase, even that was not a problem. Even if its a strong person like an ancient deity, it has no choice but to be damaged in some way in front of a movement that reaches the speed of light itself. Very nice. Is that why? The god of light notices that you have changed and frowns. [ what the hell have you done? ] The god of light must have noticed that as well. Is it because the god of light is also an ancient deity and has formed a high level of divine hierarchy in its own way? This side seems to have noticed that something has changed a lot from before using the holy relic Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+) to activate the divine < fighting spirit > ovep. [ . ] But the tension didnt reallyst long. Feed-. When the god of light realizes what you have done, heughs in amazement. [ huh. I even used some unknown holy relic to boost my strength with confidence, so I wondered if I could have hidden it, but now that I see it, it wasnt like that. ] I dont know why, but the god of light let out a sigh of relief and sneered as if he noticed something within a few seconds. [ You didnt raise the level of divinity or soul with your divine ability, but you only improved your abilities that are close to additional elements centered on your physical abilities to the limit, right? ] The god of light even pointed out exactly what the ovepping activation of divine < fighting spirit > meant. [ hmm. Well, of course, it would be helpful in its own way when dealing with enemies such as high-level deities or formal deities. You should know that you and I are ancient gods, and that our bodies are also beings that are actuallyposed of divine power. ] All of a sudden, the tension and alertness of the god of light, along with a lightugh, showed off the power of divinity. Woo woo woo woo woo woo-! As it was, the god of light scattered a cluster of divine light all over his body and acted as if he was showing sympathy for me while moving his steps. The god of lightments and feels sorry for your foolishness. [ Body strengthening? ] Jerk-jeok-. [Where did you confidently bring that up as such a great thing? ] The god of light mocked while he was ready to use his divine ability at any time. [Its pitiful. If its just a physical attack, its meaningless even if its the power to destroy a country and change the terrain with a single gesture. Its just a low-level struggle. ] It wasnt even the appearance of a person who had a rival in front of him. At this point, he seemed to think that the fight against me would be a one-sided victory and suppression, not even wasting time. Not enough of that, the god of light continued his sermon as if it were natural, like an adult teaching a child a story ofmon sense. The god of light snorts at your level ofmon sense. [ Thats because I am an ancient deity and not mortal. ] I didnt really protest against him and justughed happily, so the god of light spoke with a sigh. [ why dont you just surrender instead of struggling like that? Even if all of this is fake and not real, I dont really care about anything other than surviving. If you can find a way to stop the extinction of my existence, you might not have to die either. ] Just as the strong show kindness and consideration to the weak, the god of light even came up with a solution that he himself couldpromise on. [If you dont fight with me and surrender, Ill try to discuss your treatment positively in the future] So it was funny. Its fun. [ what? ] Talk more. [ . ] Isnt that right? No matter what nonsense you talk about, the result of being beaten by me wont change. [Ha ha well, of course, this is a story that can hurt your pride. However, I want you to know that this is an effort to save you in my own way] Pride? Well, I guess Ill have to take care of you first, who will get hit by me. is not it? [ . ] If the strong have the right to show kindness and consideration to the weak, its because I should have it, not the other side. Thats not a great opponent for me. Thats why I spit out the truth. The God of Light is displeased with your confidence. ] But wasnt that the other way? The god of light revealsplete hostility towards you. [Ill fix that rotten mental head full of pride, so dont regret itter. ] The god of light immediately unleashed a divine supernormal ability and poured out an immense amount of power in the future. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-!! Divine < Light > is activated, and a brilliant light that annihtes the divinity and the soul overflows. I grabbed it and threw it out. swish-. and. Passasak-. At that moment, a brilliant group of lights made of divinity shattered like cookies spread under his shoes. However, the God of Light would not have been able to figure out what had happened, let alone be aware of that series of processes. It was a miraculous punch that surpassed even the existing physicalws, in which not only sound but also waves made their presence known very and veryte. !!! It was a blow at the speed of light that surpassed even a little time because it had now surpassed even thews of physics. *** As ismonly known, the ancient deity has a strength different from that of the upper deity and formal deity. An ancient deity sees, feels, and deals with something that a higher deity or formal deity cannot even perceive or detect. It is a power possessed only by beings close to transcendental beings who attain immortality by reconciling themselves into divinity and concept itself. ah. Thats why I realized. What is that? That I was misunderstanding something myself. Hey hey hey hey hey-. The god of light realized what had happened btedly as he was stuck on the ground almost melting. Having lived through countless years, he has honed his divinity, magic, and spiritual power to the limit. It allowed him to guess very and veryte what had happened. Thats thats Being able to find out how the other person attacked, even after a long time, was a huge psychological shock to the point where I didnt know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate. It was an ordinary fist fight? It was natural. Originally, an ancient deity and a being that has been transformed into divinity and concept itself are not damaged by physical attacks. In fact, even among ancient deities such as the god of light, physical attacks could not work against a being that had fully matured the divine hierarchy. Is that a lie? By the way Wow-. Common sense is broken now. The god of light had to pour out his holy power with a huge hole in his chest. The physical attack, which reached the speed of light itself, did not do anything special, but it affected the nature of the divinity. To think that the concept of divinity is shaken by pure physical power that does not contain power such as divinity or mythical power If you insist, it wasnt a level that could break the concept of divinity itself. It was only because the level of pure physical power was so high that the foundation of divinity was temporarily shaken. As time passed, the divine power leaking from the chest also rapidly diminished, so it was certain that the wound would heal soon. Nevertheless, the god of light felt something that went against the providence of the universe in this lightning-fast strike itself. How on earth is this possible? If it is possible to shake the foundation of divinity with only pure physical power, what will happen if the power of divinity and mythical authority is added? If I use divine abilities here, and if I can shake the whole foundation of divinity without stopping there, will I be able to stand up as well then as I do now? The answer wasnt far off. The god of light feels a sense of danger and breaks out in a cold sweat. ] god of transcendence and death. Isnt that incarnation of violence in front of you a being that deals with the concepts of transcendence and death itself? It could not be underestimated if the supernatural ability of the god built up as a god of transcendence and death was added to a super-light blow that could shake the very basis of concept divinity with just pure physical force. Dangerous. I dont know in detail what kind of abilities the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death > contain, but both are high-level concepts of the highest level. Thats a being close to the realm of the transcendental being that cant even bepared to beings like me or the god of time. Whether its divine < transcendence > or divine < death >, its a situation thats self-evident that it will be worth as much as a blow at the speed of light. I cant believe the seed of ascension was something like that. Suddenly, the god of light was able to realize what kind of talent and qualifications the god of transcendence and death seen in the distance was. Does it mean that it is a vessel and seed that will one day swallow everything and be reborn as a transcendental being? A being with the talent and qualifications to be a transcendental being waits in front of me, surpassing even the providence. Unfortunately. Well, theres all this. next moment. ! A blow at the speed of light once again covered the world. *** Coo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo!! Achievement Superlight Speed has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of reward obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 1000. Two rooms. At best, two light punches changed everything. All thendmarks in front of me were devastated, and thend of the, which seemed intact even in the war of the gods, was almost melting, creating a bizarre scene. Hey hey hey hey hey hey! but for a while. Newly gathered tales have umted enough to create a myth. Calcte the myth ording to the actual result and Shinto belief. . I couldnt help but widen my eyes as I looked at the system messages that appeared in my field of vision. . The level of the tales is too high. This is because the power of faith and tales swelled dozens of times as if they would burst inside the body, and some of them turned into a myth. Considering the level of the transcendent tale, a myth appropriate to the rank is created. Divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the myth to obtain the original myth. Transcendence myth < Forced eleration > has beenpleted. weird. Chapter 456 456. Catastrophe (3) In an instant, vitality circtes throughout the body, and one feels an increase in strength. Achievement Superlight Speed has been achieved. Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met. The level of rewards obtained from the achievement increases. All stats increase by 1000. Ill do it. Despite the fact that it took only two punches, all stats increased by +1000. It was amazing. In fact, as he climbed the Tower of Trials, all of his stats went up like crazy, so now it must be a remarkable growth as each of his stats bring about considerable growth. Nevertheless, I had no choice but to look at another system message floating in the corner of my field of vision, not the +1000 increase in all stats obtained by achieving the achievement Super Light Speed. Considering the level of the transcendent tale, a myth appropriate to the rank is created. Divinity < Transcendence > is applied to the myth to obtain the original myth. Transcendence myth < Forced eleration > has beenpleted. . Its nothing else The transcendence myth < Forced eleration > has beenpleted. The Transcendence myth < Forced eleration > umtes in divine power. The divine effect of is attached.

It will be applied. From now on , challenger Seongyoon Han will receive the divine effect of < Force > . If it is close to impossibility, the recoil of using the effect will also increase the closer the situation and conditions are. ? Immediately after the effect is activated, you will pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way . System messages were announcing the birth of a new transcendence myth. Forced eleration? Originally, he had noticed that the umted amount of faith and tales he had built up inside his body while climbing the Tower of Trials had now umted, so he should have thought that it would not be strange to obtain a new myth of transcendence. What is this again I just didnt know that it would suddenlye into existence without any foreshadowing in a situation where I was fighting the god of light. What happened to this? At that, I frowned and expressed my doubts. Acquisition of the transcendence myth < Forced eleration > is something that can be noticed just by paying attention not only to the system messages, but also to how the beliefs and narratives within the body have changed. And because of that, I was able to notice that the beliefs and legends within my body had not diminished as much as I thought. In the first ce, the amount of faith and tales used to create and acquire the transcendence myth < Forced eleration > doesnt seem to be particrlyrge Nevertheless, the transcendence myth < Forced eleration > boasted insane brilliance. I dont know why, but both of the divine effects of < Forced eleration >, the transcendence myth, are extremely high. The Transcendence Myth < Forced eleration > has overwhelming performancepared to the cost spent on creation and acquisition. Since this is the opportunity to obtain the transcendence myth < Forced eleration >, entering the world of super light speed, it is not strange that it can reach the speed of super light itself. However, the force itself described under the super light speed of the transcendence myth < Forced eleration > has nothing to do with the super light speed movement. Can I roughly say that the myth of transcendence < Forced eleration > is the power that makes it possible to forcibly reproduce the movement at the speed of light? Of course, there were parts that were understandable. The divine effect force of the transcendental myth < Forced eleration > has a supernormal ability that enables the activation of force through force through all powers. In a word, the transcendence myth < Forced eleration > uses super light speed and force together to forcibly exhibit super light speed movement, which was a standard link. Useful. Not even that. Even if it wasnt that, it seemed that it might be possible to build an efficient use of super light speed and force of the transcendence myth < Forced eleration > because they could be used separately. Even more, the divine effect force of the transcendence myth < Forced eleration > is a power that enables the forcible use of other specific abilities, not just the connection with super light speed, so it will be very helpful depending on how you use it. The amount of faith and tales consumed in the creation and acquisition of transcendence myths is not much, but something like thises out The fact that this side made full use of the speed of light movement itself is faith and the transcendence myth even if the amount of tales is small. It looks like it was a grandiose feat enough to produce a tremendous result called < Forced eleration >. Im lucky. I wonder if it could be said that finding out that not only the umted amount of faith or tales but also what the base feat is is more important in obtaining the transcendental myth is a small harvest. Jerk-jerk-. but for a while. Shall we go see what happened to the god of light? After thinking about the transcendence myth < Forced eleration >, I moved on lightly. In fact, it could be said that the god of light was defeated just because this side threw two punches at the speed of light. Even if it is a being that has achieved the divine hierarchy, which corresponds to the lower level of the three ancient deities, it is difficult to stand up unscathed even after being hit by a blow at the speed of light. Well, since the god of light is also an ancient deity with a name in his own way, theres no way hell die or die . After being beaten by me, he doesnt even feel the slightest movement, let alone activate his divine abilities or prepare for recovery, so he must have received considerable damage. The guess was not wrong. Chii-yi Yi Yi Lee . Somehow, the ground melts more roughly and overlooks a pit with a glimpse of the ground than other ces. Its fun. That would be the case D Huh. In the hollow pit in front of me, the god of light was buried as if convulsing and twitching. DIs it true that this is breathing? Dam Chun-wu, who saw that, also trembled with the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and expressed doubts about whether the god of light was still alive, but he couldnt be said to have died. Life is not affected. I answered while watching the god of light recover his body made of divinity. It is an ancient deity. It does not die unless it destroys or damages the very concept of divinity. It may take some time to resuscitate, though. Dam Chun-woo uttered words as if he could not easily agree with what he said. -well. From my point of view, it seems that you partially damaged the conceptual divinity of the god of light with only pure physical power. is not it? Perhaps, from his point of view, it looks like the god of light is dying halfway Well, it seems that the god of lights conceptual divinity is shaking to some extent. Actually, anyway, the conceptual divinity of the god of light is permanent. Not enough to cause any damage. It wasnt. If even the conceptual divinity of an Ancient Godhead could be permanently destroyed with pure physical force alone, the Ancient Godhead would not have been called an immortal in the first ce. This side used a blow at the speed of light to drive the god of light into a corner, but it couldnt bring death to that ancient deity. Thats the greatest advantage of beings who have been reborn as ancient gods. Immortal. In fact, those who have reached the level of an ancient deity do not perish no matter what until the conceptual divinity, which is the essence, disappears. And because of that, even the difference inbat power between the Ancient Gods and those who are not Ancient Gods is meaningless. In the first ce, if you be an ancient deity, death will cease to exist. Well, even if immortals like ancient deities are defeated in battle, they can be resurrected after a while. Even if we win the fight against the Ancient Godhead, considering the Ancient Godhead who will be resurrectedter, its practically difficult to call it a victory. The god of light in front of him was no different. It was self-evident that if left alone, the god of light would be revived within a few minutes with his divine bodypletely restored. This was also the reason why even the three ancient deities had to be neglected without being able to kill an ancient deity like the god of light. Unless the divinity, the concept of an ancient deity, cant be fundamentally eliminated, nothing will change. However The god of transcendence and death smiles deeply from anticipation. ] I, who has the supernormal ability of the one and only divinity < death > in the universe, was able to annihte any number of divinities, even if it was the concept divinity of an ancient deity. Chak-. like now. The god of light groans at the pain he feels after a long time . built Didnt I tell you earlier? Its nothing else No matter what nonsense you say, the result of being beaten by me wont change. Now is the time to y the god of light. The god of light looks at you and feels fear. [You ] The god of light also uttered a divine voice full of fear as if he had noticed that this side was preparing something. Divinity < Death > is used. The death of everything eroded by Divinity < Death > can be controlled. Divinity < Evil Eating > is used The power to devour is imbued Divine < Death > is dead However The Divine Power exclusive authority Pure Seeker of Death is activated. Everything touched by the Divine < Death > Life, magical power, and divinity of existence gradually be corrupted and fall. All beings touched by Divine < Death > take fixed damage to the essential elements directly rted to life. All beings touched by Divine < Death > be pure. The damage caused by the seekers of death is absolutely unavoidable. Even after seeing that, I didnt care at all and, starting with the divinity < Death >, I unleashed not only the supernormal abilities of the divinity but also various abilities all at once. Goo-! Even if its not as much as the three ancient deities, the god of light has helped him climb the tower of trials in his own way, so he feels reluctant to kill him After all, since the god of light once showed hostility towards me in the war of the gods, there is no way we can go over without fighting each other. ! I hope we dont meet as enemies next time. As it was, I stabbed the Blood Heaven Demon Sword while watching the God of Light waving his arms and trying to stand up and defend himself. bye. But coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-! It was then. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo-! Suddenly, I felt an overwhelming energy flow from the top to the bottom before this side stabbed the blood demon sword at the god of light. Isnt this Margie? As soon as I realized that this was the magic that I had felt from people like demons and demon lords that I had met many times in the past, I heard a voice that was somehow familiar. Took-. and. [ Hoo. ] It gave me goosebumps when I noticed that there was a difference of thousands of timespared to those close to mortals, such as demons or demon kings. [I came here to take a look, just in case, because it seemed like something very interesting was going on down here] Before I knew it, someone from behind let out a divine voice as if enjoying it and went on. [Its beyond imagination. ] . A voice full of pure joy, as if it were a child discovering a new game. [It has two concept divinities, which are the essence of a godhead, and even that is not enough, so that the two concept divinities symbolize supetive concepts such as transcendence and death isnt it amazing? ] Is that why? [I cant believe everyone was having fun with this interesting being here, except for me. ] It wasnt hard to realize who it was. [Im sorry. ] Its nothing else The demon god smiles at you with a friendly attitude . Chapter 457 457. Catastrophe (4) I got goosebumps. How on earth did this happen? drank. One of the three ancient gods, the lord of the universe, and the master of all demons. Knowing that this was the identity of the strong man who boasted an overwhelming presence behind my back, I couldnt help but have many thoughts. Could it be possible that they descended from the Eastern Front to the Southern Front in such a short period of time, in less than a few seconds? It was creepy. Originally, the three ancient deities that we see here all reign as the rulers of the universe and have power that is not only strong enough to be revered as rulers, but also overflowing. Moreover, among the three ancient deities, the first to fight was not a dark god or a dragon god, but a demon god, so it felt like a sense of crisis was felt directly on my skin. It seemed like something really interesting was happening down there, so I came here to take a look just in case First of all, there was no need to guess why the Demon God came down from the Eastern Front to the Southern Front because he said it himself. I guess he came down here after feeling the aftermath of the battle between me and the God of Light, along with the God of Darkness and the God of Dragon. And it was obvious what he wanted. I cant believe that everyone was out here having fun with such an interesting being, except for me. Isnt that right? Im sorry. Of the three ancient gods I had seen so far while climbing the Tower of Trials, the one who revealed his true intentions the most was not the God of Darkness or the Dragon God, but the Demon God. I also longed deep in my heart to fight a rival like you. The author was hoping to fight fiercely by pointing at me, not anyone else. shit. It was a variable I could not have imagined. no. Perhaps, since the God of Darkness and the God of Dragons had appeared, they did not want to anticipate that the Demon God would also intervene here. obviously. The demon god wants to fight me. If the Demon God fought on the side of the God of Time rather than on this side, it was obvious that only despair, not hope, would overflow. Even if I dont stick to the other side because Im conscious of the God of Time, I understand that its the same situation. And now that the hopeless scenario of two of the three ancient gods fighting on the side of the God of Time has be a reality, it has be clear that the bnce of power between the two sides can no longer be maintained. Then lets finish at least one thing and then start. In response, I swung the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword with the divine as the center, activating numerous divine supernormal abilities and various powers. ! Faster than light. The ovepping activation of divine adds divine power to a bizarre level of physical power that surpasses even thews of physics. This is not the same as adding new power to the existing power, but rather squaring the existing power. The exclusive effect Double of the power skill Holy Source Demon Sword is activated. Consume divine power to increase the power skill power by [6] times. . As if that wasnt enough, the Soul Demon Sword was activated. A situation in which this sides countless powers were drawn to their limit and captured in a single strike at the speed of light just to kill one god of light. Even if the God of Light had achieved a hierarchy of divinity corresponding to the lower level of the three ancient gods, there was no chance of him surviving even after being hit by this. If the Demon God wants to fight with me regardless of the God of Time, there will be no reason to help the God of Light, so I wont be bothered. And, even if he were a demon god, one of the three ancient gods, there was no way he could easily block a sword strike at the speed of light. Even if the Demon God blocks it, theres no way he can take it without taking any damage. In other words, whether the God of Light dies or the Demon God directly steps in to stop it, it is bound to benefit in some way. I can do it. But Knock-. uh? A strange thing happened. In a world where time seems to have stopped and is colored gray, and which has be infinitely slower due to the use of faster-than-light movement, a being moves. Before I knew it, a male demon wearing a ck half-mask with a pair of horns protruding from its forehead was blocking my path, engulfed in overwhelming demonic energy. What is this? I widened my eyes and expressed my astonishment, but there was no time to answer the questions rising deep within my heart. How can a demon god show the same movements as me? This is because in an instant, the demon god demonstrated movement at the speed of light and blocked a deadly blow that had the power to destroy even a with his bare hands. Oh my gosh! In the blink of an eye, attacks and defenses were exchanged in a world at the speed of light, and the aftermath reverberated for a long time. Chijijijijijijik-! Drink, and me. . At the end of the momentary struggle of power that took ce in a world at the speed of light, it was I, not the other side, who was pushed out. Are you lying? Horribly. *** The demon god standing in front of me was dripping blood, probably because the grip on his right hand was torn. . Contrary to how he confidently stepped forward, the Demon God did not have aplete advantage in attack and defense against me. However, despite this, no matter where you look, the Demon God did not receive any damage that would be considered fatal. The only damage this party did to the demon god was to tear off the skin on his right hand, and even if it was empty words, it could not be said that it posed a meaningful threat to the demon gods life. What the hell is this. When I saw that, I sobbed as I endured the pain that felt like my grip would be torn apart. If the divine was activated and the physical strength was also greatly increased, the demon god did not seem to have had much difficulty blocking it. At best, the demon god showed his great desire to win in the world of super-light speed and smiled bitterly as if he felt a little burdened. Could it be that I was defeated by the Demon God in terms of physical ability and nothing else? When this person looked at the Demon God with their mouths stiffened, the other side responded as if they were willing to respond. The demon is looking at you and smiling. [ hmm. Im sorry about this. In the past, I was indebted to the God of Light in some way. I couldnt let him die. ] If we were to be specific, it wasnt that he had blocked the ultra-light-speed sword attack that this side showed, but rather he was more concerned about keeping the God of Light alive at will and was offering an apology. [Well, it would be more enjoyable for you to fight with me than to fight with a being like the God of Light, so I hope you dont think of it as a bad thing. ] Unlike the Demon God when I first saw him, he has a strangely calm appearance, but his unique cheerfulness cannot be hidden. [ Tsk tsk!! This turned out to be very fun! I came here just in case, and it turned out to be a good thing. This is my first time seeing a strange hybrid like you Its nothing short of amazing. ] The Demon God continued speaking with an excitedugh. [Ancient Godhead. Among them, it is amazing that we have achieved a hierarchy of gods of darkness, dragon gods, and divinity close to me, rather than just ordinary people, but there is more to it than just that. Its like I have something that doesnt exist in this universe. ] Quite an insight. Did you notice the power thates from the system, not just divinity or mana? Just by looking at this for a moment, it seems that he even noticed the existence of unique characteristics, skills, or special abilities based on the system. [ ha ha ha-! Interesting! Maybe it would be even more fun than fighting a dark god or a dragon god! I never thought I could face a powerful enemy like you in an annoying and trivial war game like the War of the Gods! What kind of luck is this! ] The demon god didnt seem to be able tomunicate anymore. Its just that he is full of thoughts of fighting me and is radiating excitement and anticipation like a madman. At this point, even if I tried to persuade the demon god who seemed no different from a madman, I didnt think it would really work. No, since you never know, it might be right to try persuasion. In response, I barely opened my lips and spoke, leaning on hope. Demon God. Still, wasnt the Demon God I saw while climbing the Tower of Trials a real madman whose story itself made no sense at all? I dont know why someone like you is looking forward to a fight with someone like me, but cant you dy it a little longer? From the beginning, I wanted to tell the demon god that our power wasnt that great, so fighting wouldnt be very satisfying, but it didnt seem possible. You must have seen him shatter the God of Light with just two hits while activating the Holy in a stack, so theres no way they would just ept it if you pretended to be weak like that. If so, wouldnt it be a statement that has the potential to be persuasive? God of time. That ancient god is trying some kind of trick to kill me. If you help me kill him, then I will fight the demon god The demon god standing in front of me would also like to have a fair fight with me, so I promise to fight himter if I help him kill the god of time. The Demon God answers while looking at you nkly. [ hate. ] step. [Why should I do that? ] Contrary to his thoughts, the demon god answered calmly in a cold voice. [God of time. It seems like that annoying guy came up with some kind of n to catch and kill you Thats just your situation, not mine. It has nothing to do with me. I dont think its a very attractive offer. ] It was reasonable. There is not a single scratch. To be honest, if what the Demon God wants is a fight with me, he can make it happen as he pleases, whether he wants it or not. However, as if that was not all, the Demon God continued speaking with a cold smile beneath his ck half-mask. [Whats more, I dont like your suggestion even more because its so obvious that its a lie. ] Its no different. [God of time. Would it make any difference if I helped kill that weakling? Anyway, all of this is just the implementation of a record created by someone. If its a dream that you dont know when it will end, shouldnt you enjoy the sweetness? ] He discovered the truth hidden in the war of the gods. The Demon God looks at you and smiles bitterly. [ even if its just a false story made up for someone else. ] The Demon God realized on his own, without anyones help, that the war between the gods was a world created just for me. Chapter 458 458. Catastrophe (5) Suddenly, I remembered the story that Dam Cheon-woo gave me as a warning not long ago. If even the fake ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials are as real as the real thing, then you wouldnt be so willing to do so. His words passed by in a split second, as if he was reying a story from an old video. Are you sure you will never notice that this fake world created by the Tower of Trials is a cage made just for you? A story about not underestimating the intelligence of the fake ancient gods who exist in the war of gods and who are infinitely closer to the real thing. If each of those ancient deities were monsters that carved their own divinity and concepts into the universe, wouldnt they know that they themselves are fake? If I think about it now, there was nothing wrong with what I said. And what kind of thoughts and actions do you think the fake ancient deity created by the Tower of Trials will show? I realized it a long timeter. In that case, is it only beneficial to you that in this war of gods, the ancient gods that existed in the beginning of time have been recreated at the same level as the real thing? In fact, there are only a few people, like the Dragon God or the Proof God, who can show favor to me even if they have a vague sense or realization of the truth of the world. All three ancient gods have a mental world that cannot be understood through general logic, simr to the God of Proof. At that time, the God of Proof helped me by sacrificing his own concept of divinity even though he realized that he who existed in the war of gods was not real but a fake. . Then wouldnt the opposite case also exist? [The demon looks at you and smiles.] [Why? Did you think that everyone except the God of Time would notice? You have poor imagination. Its only a matter of time for beings like the Dark God and the Dragon God. Its something youre bound to notice at some point. ] like now. Turp, plod, trudge -. The demon god parted his lips while standing in front of the god of light who seemed to be wandering through death. [God of time. He said that time and space seemed to be distorted due to impurities that appeared somewhere. He didnt seem to have any intention of saying anything more than that, but when I think about it, there have been a few strange things about him for some time now. ] The Demon God continued speaking with a cold smile scattered beneath his ck half-mask. [ Divinity. And soul. They both looked somewhat awkward and strangely different from before, as if someone was ying a prank on them. I dont know who did it, but there were traces of reconstruction in my divinity and soul. When I thought about what that meant, I found the answer. ] He spoke about what he realized about the war of the gods. [ FALSE. I am fake, not real. Its not just me, its the same for everything that exists in the War of Gods. I knew that the distortion of space and time that the God of Time had mentioned happened because this was a fake world created by someone. ] Even though the demon himself mentioned that it was fake and not real, he didnt seem particrly shocked. [The impurity that led to the distortion of space and time mentioned by the God of Time probably also refers to you from the real world. ] If I were to be specific, it seemed like he was solving an answer to a problem that wasnt that great. [Well, I also have the supernormal ability to vividly experience past stories based on world records, so its not something I cant understand. ] Instead, the demon god kissed his lips with a smile full of victory. [ Rather, it is important that you, a being from the real world rather than this war of gods, have powers that are rare even in the entire universe. ] Perhaps the Demon God is the being who possessed the Remegeton that was used to prepare for the War of the Gods, so it seems that he can remain rtively calm even if he knows that this is a fake world and not the real world [ I came down and had a look just in case ] That had a negative impact. [The Demon God looks at you and bursts intoughter full of joy and anticipation.] [Im excited. A being that can demonstrate a pure power struggle on the same level as me. I never thought I would actually be able to see the rival that I thought I would never find my whole life. ] The Demon God was not concerned about the real world or the fake world. [From the beginning, I thought that this war of gods, whether in the real world or the fake world, was all just trivial, so I thought it would be nice to end it quickly no matter what] He did not distinguish between the real and the fake, and this moment itself is fully epting. [ Now I hope not to wake up from this dream for a very, very long time. ] Unfortunately. [This is my first time. Although I have traveled all over the universe and seen all kinds of strong people no one couldpete in a power struggle on equal footing with me like you. Thats why its special. ] Tdu-duk-. [Do you know that in the end, everything is finite and therefore beautiful? ] The Demon God continued speaking, lightly stretching his body as if stretching. [I became an ancient god and lived the life of an immortal that everyone envied for a long time, but I have deeply felt that a life where everythingsts forever is more terrible than I could imagine. ] The emotion contained in the divine voice was a boredom I had never seen before. [No matter how great and enjoyable it is, if you repeat it dozens, hundreds, thousands of times, and countless more times, you will get tired of it. ] If I were to really ask the question, should I say that it is a feeling of boredom bordering on emptiness? [In the past, fighting against a strong person was enough to make me feel satisfied, but as I continued to fight for a long time, the satisfaction disappeared everywhere and everything slowly started to feel like a game. ] I felt an overwhelming emptiness. [Ancient Godhead. Since he is immortal, a fight between life and death cannot ur, so the stimtion of tension and crisis gradually decreases. And at the same time, everything became boring. Because of that, it has be difficult to feel joy in fights against strong opponents. ] After finishing the warm-up, the Demon God spoke with a self-deprecating smile. [Isnt it ironic? Even though he became an ancient god and broke away from the bondage of the mortal body, he cannot escape from the shackles of fading values that ur in the spiritual world. The only thing that increased with time was boredom. [] It wasnt that difficult to understand what he meant. [I traveled around the universe and oftenpeted with ancient gods, but it was no more than entertainment. Because he is immortal. No matter how fiercely we fight, as long as divinity and concepts exist, there will be no such thing as extinction. [ ] The value of life. In fact, the demon god has be an ancient deity and has lost the driving force to move forward after continuing his life. Even if you look at the entire universe, it would be quite trivial to say that there are very few strong people who can rival the lords of the universe, such as the God of Darkness and the Demon Dragon God. [The Demon God tantly shows his expectations towards you.] [But what about you? ] Is that why? [Transcendence and death. A person who possesses two concepts of divinity that have never appeared in this universe as the basis of divinity. In your power that unterally overwhelms even the God of Light, I see the possibility of shattering the immortality of the ancient godhead. ] I was able to clearly understand why the demon god showed such a strong desire to win against me. [The Demon God cannot control his excitement and bursts outughing.] [If that were the case, wouldnt that be enough for me to truly enjoy the fight of my life!! ] It was simple. [Even if this is a fake world and not a real world, that cant be an excuse not to achieve what I want!! ] In the first ce, the story itself, whether it was real or fake, was meaningless to the Demon God. [ ha ha ha-! Is it a real world or a fake world!! Even if you think about it, isnt it meaningless? Its enough for me to be here at this moment and the match Ive been longing for my whole life is also in front of me! If all of this is a dream that you have no choice but to wake up from one day, shouldnt you enjoy its sweetness to the fullest? ] For the Demon God, all of this is only seen as an opportunity to satisfy the desire to win and fight that he has pursued his whole life. Even if it is fake and not real, nothing changes. I was able to essentially see through the image of the being standing before my eyes. Its just that from the beginning, the demon god didnt have the option of not fighting me. In the first ce, the demon god was also one of the ancient deities, and his mental world itself was distorted. Even if you are just a fake and not real, if you can enjoy a moment of pleasure, isnt that enough? As one of the three ancient gods and the lord of the universe, the being who had lived for nearly eternity waspletely distorted from the very foundation of his mind. shit. As a result, I broke into a cold sweat and had to curse in my heart. If the God of Time uses a little more strength in the future, he may seed in oveying the divine confrontation realm with the sacred realm. But despite this, I felt like my stomach was turning because the demon god no longer left any room for conversation with me. I have no choice but to fight. Its not even just that. Unlike before, the God of Light, who has fallen behind the Demon God, has recovered his divine body to some extent and appears to be slowly regaining enough strength to fight. Whether the God of Time overwrites the Divine Confrontation Realm with the Holy Realm or the God of Light helps by his side, it was obvious that this side would be more and more disadvantaged as time passed. So. Its all or nothing. There was really only one choice. Somehow exclude the demon god. In response, I moved forward, drawing the power of divinity and mana from my entire body. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! [The user has encountered a strong opponent that is difficult to handle.] [Skill Indomitable Will is activated.] [.] [The power King of Winter meets the conditions and is automatically activated.] [All abilities are amplified by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all.] [.] [The conditions for activating the exclusive spell have been met.] [The exclusive spell is activated. .] [All abilities and all skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle.] [.] [Myth is activated.] [All abilities increase by +1500.] [Special The buff is activated.] [When dealing with a being rted to the Demon, the power of the Demon Demon is imbued with divinity and magic.] The next moment. !! In the blink of an eye, a strike was fired at the speed of light, signaling the beginning of a hopeless fight. Chapter 459 459. Decisive Battle (1) Faster than light. Just by lightly swinging the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Blood Heavenly Sword, extreme violence is unleashed that surpasses even the normalws of physics. It is a force that can shake even the foundation of the concept of divinity through pure physical force alone, even if only temporarily. ! Even if the thing in front of you was a dark god or an ancient deity like a dragon god, you wouldnt be indifferent. Oh my way ! But coo coo coo coo coo coo! The demon was different. The results of the attacks and defenses made in the world of super-light speed, beyond the cognitive scope of living things, were the same as before. Despite unleashing such overwhelming physical power that his vision turnedpletely white for an instant, he was unable to even push the opponent away, let alone inflict fatal wounds on him. Damn Its no different How on earth can they keep blocking this like that? Before I knew it, the demon god had seeded in blocking my sword strike with one hand like before. At this point, I wonder if the 10,000-fold increase in physical ability buff obtained by activating the sacred stack is a basic skill that should naturally be used between the two. Moreover, ording to what I observed from earlier, the Demon God did not seem to require a lot of power to move at the speed of light, unlike me, who had to use a hidden card. Are you saying that the super-light movement that I achieved by activating the divine by stacking it was a basic ability for a demon from the beginning? A power that was believed to be able to establish a match even among the three ancient gods. As it was treated as if it was nothing in front of the true face of the three ancient gods, my thoughts seemed to be distorted. However, because it was almost a luxury to feel the tremors of ones mind while the demon was in front of me, I had to forcibly suppress my distracting thoughts. e. and. Puhwaak-! At that moment, the demon god walks forward, roughly kicking away the dust that had spread in all directions due to the lightning-fast strike. . The world turns gray. A world of new categories of perception that only I and the Demon God, who have surpassed thews of physics by making full use of movement at the speed of light, can ess. In a world at the speed of light, where all objects and phenomena have stopped as if the pause button of an image has been pressed, only the devil and I are moving. What is this But there was a difference in each others speed. Im slower? Unlike the one on this side that moved as if walking while deeply submerged in water, the other side was moving as if an ordinary person was lightly walking in this world at the speed of light. What is this? If I were to be honest, it was a small difference. At best, the Demon God is only one or two steps ahead of us. However, in the world of faster than light speeds, the seemingly small difference in speed is bound to eventually lead to an uncontroble gap, like a snowball rolling and expanding in size. Were in big trouble It was serious. If this side realized the seriousness of the situation in the world of faster than light speed, there was no way the other side was unaware of this fact as well. The demon god pursed his lips and spoke words that did not resonate in a fleeting world colored with gray light. Lets get started. There was a deep smile on the corner of the Demon Gods mouth. It is not difficult to understand the meaning because of the faint wave of will that resonates while melting into the divinity itself. And because of that, it was possible to predict to some extent what the demon god wanted and what he would do in the future. Shall we go light at first? Next moment. Swish-. In an instant, the demon god slowly stretched forward, holding his right hand tightly in the world of super-light speed. No matter where you look, you cant see anything special about it. Its an ordinary, seemingly featureless blow struck with a fist. However, the amount of power contained in the demons right hand was contrary to the assessment that it was a seemingly ordinary punch. Duddud-. Divinity, Mana and Magi. The demons right hand was shaking with various energies. It was a power worthy of the master of all demons who destroy and rule the world. !!! Next moment. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Time and space were distorted, and my vision was covered in pitch ck. *** coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo-. The terrain in the field of view is strangely distorted, as if someone had dug a huge canyon-like hole in the sand. Damn it. When I saw that, I cursed in my heart and saw a system message appear in my field of vision. [By activating Divine , we exclude one possibility that could lead to defeat.] It was a notification to activate Divine. The power to interfere with the world itself and rule out any possibility of leading to defeat. Before I knew it, I felt a sense of crisis right before I was about to be hit by the demon god, so I activated the sacred and almost eliminated the attack. If I hadnt just used Divine to change the trajectory of the attack, I would have been defeated for sure. It was dizzying. The inherently sacred has the unique ability topletely rule out any possibility of defeat. If the divine had been activated, the power wielded by the demon would have disappeared without leaving any aftereffects due to the divine supernormal ability. What the hell is that? But Even though you activate the Divine , it doesnt eliminate the Demon Gods attack, but only lowers the power of the attack and twists the orbit? It wasnt. The sacred written by this side did not eliminate the opponents attack itself, but merely lowered the power of the attack and modified its trajectory. In the past, when I climbed the Tower of Trials and went to the Demon World, the Demon God did not do anything that went beyondmon sense, but not now. Is this because it was a time before the Tower of Trials appeared, and the power of the demon god was not particrly limited by factors such as causality? I have a guess. The War of the Gods urred in a time period before the emergence of a transcendental structure called the Tower of Trials. Since it is a story from the distant past, even the three ancient gods such as the God of Darkness, the Dragon God, and the Demon God can fight without any restrictions on their power. Im going to be amazed. In other words, even the overwhelming performance shown by the Demon God when he went to the Demon World from the Tower of Trials was only a small fragment of his power. If what Im thinking is correct, doesnt that mean we cant even figure out the extent of the demons power? I frowned and thought dozens and hundreds of times to prepare for the next move. We have toe up with a solution before the next attackes But . That too was only for a moment. The moment when your survival instinct goes crazy and at the same time you unconsciously enter a world at the speed of light. In an instant, in an instant, the demon god stretched out his hand, assumed a strange posture, and activated his divine supernormal ability with no sign of fatigue. [Holy is used.] [The origin of destruction is designated by the sacred and surrounds the designated area.] [ By the divine , beings whose will touches the origin of destruction are destroyed.] Past days . While climbing the Tower of Trials and fighting the demons he encountered in the demon world, the divine supernormal abilities he had seen before were unleashed. It was a cheat-like ability that allowed you to press down on the opponent in any situation, no matter who it was. [Uses divine .] [Consumes divine power to grant a protection that excludes external divinity.] [A person who has received protection once cannot be given protection again for 12 hours. ] The moment I activated the sacred without hesitating even for a moment and erased the annihtion caused by the divine in response. [Divine is activated, consuming divinity, mana, and magic energy, enabling immediate space movement.] Chak-. Suddenly, the demon god appeared right in front of us instead of on the ground far away, smiling with joy under his ck half-mask. You let your guard down? And that too with a punch. Next moment. Oh my gosh! In the blink of an eye, as soon as the demon gods punch touched my abdomen, the world at the speed of light dissolved for a moment, and an enormous shock hit my entire body. [.] [Skill Final Resistance is activated.] [Mortal wounds inflicted on you are nullified.] [All senses are temporarily amplified and corrections to all skills are added.] [Corresponding The skill has a cooldown of one week.] Even though the skill Last Stand was activated and the fatal wound should have been nullified, the damage did not disappearpletely due to something unseen. Kwahiah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhh! My vision spun around as if the focus of a camera was rotating thousands of times in one second, and at the same time, my body fell to the ground and I felt a sharp pain. Ugh! Im crying-. I felt like my consciousness was fading away. Of course, the hole in the abdomen was immediately repaired using the authority skill Ashen Blood, but it is not easy to stand up from the same ce. Energy such as divinity and mana suffered permanent damage due to the supernormal abilities of divinity or the power of myth added to a strike at the speed of light that surpassed even thews of physics. Ah Its not just that. The situation is such that most of the means of survival have disappeared as the sacred , sacred , and even the skill Final Resistance have been consumed. In fact, the hidden cards that would allow me to survive against the Demon God have almost disappeared. Cluck cluck-. After spitting out a lot of blood from my mouth, I was able to find the answer to the previous question. There is no answer The answer did not exist. At this point, its hard to even guess how many special abilities the demon possesses, such as divine supernormal abilities or mythology or authority. Originally, in times like now, the answer would be to push the other person without having time to do anything, but isnt the difference in skill level too clear for that to happen? Its to the point where I cant evenpete I felt hopeless. Are you saying this is a demon god? I felt it. I became painfully aware of the difference in power between the three ancient gods and myself. Whether it is a god of darkness, a dragon god, or a demon god, it has a power that cannot bepared to someone like me. Well, theres all this As I was chewing on the gloom with my eyes half-closed, a demon came out from afar pping his hands and walking out. p p p-. [The Demon God feels satisfied with the power of his rival and a smile appears on his lips.] [Thats great. ] The other person appears with a bright smile under a ck half-mask, as if he was impressed by this sides power, and lets out an excited divine voice. [Its beyond imagination. The same thing happened with the blow I blocked before the fight The pure physical power thates from physical ability is truly outstanding. ] No matter where or how you look at it, isnt it the atmosphere of a powerful person looking down from above, not an opponent with the ability to whistle? [ Even among the countless strong people, both immortal and mortal, that I saw while traveling around the universe a long time ago, there was none that couldpare to you. ] In reality, there was no difference. [Only you have the strength to fight against me with pure power. ] I felt that there was a difference in skill between the Demon God and me that could be felt through several battles. [So, be proud. ] Damn it. [You fully deserve it. ] Is that why? [ Family rivals. ] My heart seemed to be shaken. Its not that I dont know that there is an overwhelming difference in skill between the Demon God and me that cannot be easily bridged. Isnt the person in front of us one of the three ancient deities, an ancient deity whose number of years we cant even guess? I know. Even in my own opinion, it is shameless to hope that I can win the favor in front of the demon god. Even if this side has climbed the Tower of Trials and repeated countless life-and-death battles, it is bound to be absurdly inadequatepared to the three ancient gods. Just because the three ancient gods did not make any effort, it does not mean that theycked the feats they achieved over time. Compared to the three ancient gods, I am nothing. I dont ignore reality. The three ancient gods must have umted countless amounts of divinity, mana, mythology, and power over the passage of time. It wouldnt be particrly surprising if he died in front of him without being able to do anything properly. But Even so, negative emotions boiled deep in my heart as I thought that the power this side had could not reach the demon god. That cant be a reason to give up and say that everything is over A feeling of resistance. I havent lost yet. In response, I stood up with difficulty, my eyes shining, holding the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Heavenly Heavenly Demon Sword tightly in both hands. Daldaldal-. The Demon God who saw this spread his arms wide and let out an excited divine voice, raising his expectations. [The Demon God feels great joy and anticipation as he looks at you.] [Hahaha-! Yeah, it cant end here!! yes? Theres no way someone like you could call this power! There must be some hidden power! Quickly, use your full power!] I think the Demon God is also convinced that I have something hidden . That was the correct answer. [The Transcendent Myth is activated.] [From now on, the sacred effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoons sacred use.] [Select an opponent and all types of attacks will be inflicted for [4 minutes] You can be equal to your opponent.] [However, if you cannot withstand the burden umted due to the increase in rank, the power of may be stopped.] [ From now on, the divine effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon. .] [It bes possible to freely manipte and manipte the spiritual power that one has.] [ You can control formless power with spiritual power and apply the effect of spiritual power to that power.] It is no different than. [.] [Designationpleted.] [Transcendence Myth begins to equally adjust the status of the designated opponent.] [From now on, all types of status will be in front of you for [4 minutes]. You be equal to your opponent and the rise in rank can be a huge burden.] 4 minutes. Grace period. In the future, we will find a way to defeat the demon god during the time when we can use the divine effect Indomitable Spiritual Attack of the Transcendent Myth . I have to do it. If you dont, you die here. Chapter 460 460. Decisive Battle (2) [Transcendence Myth is activated.] [From now on, the divinity effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoons divinity use.] [Specify an opponent and [4 minutes] During this period, all types of rank can be equal to the opponent.] [ If you cannot withstand the burden umted due to the increase in rank, the power of may be stopped.] [ From now on, is given to challenger Han Seong-yoon . The divine effect is attached.] [It bes possible to freely manipte and manipte the spiritual power that one has.] [ You can control the formless power with spiritual power and apply the effect of spiritual power to that power.] In the blink of an eye . System messages appear as if blocking your view, and your power swells with intense pressure. [.] [Designationpleted.] [Transcendence Myth begins to equally adjust the status of the designated opponent.] [From now on, all types of status will be in front of you for [4 minutes]. It bes equal to the opponent, and the increase in rank can be a great burden.] In an instant, the divine effect Indomitable Spirit of the Transcendent Myth is activated, and the divinity and soul rank rise to the same level as the opponent. Duddud! If you activate the divine effect Spirit Indomitable of the transcendental mythology and forcefully catch up with the level of divinity and soul of the three ancient deities, the resulting burden will also be enormous I can endure it. . Didnt I also gain remarkable strength by killing the incarnation of the Dragon God during the war between the gods? Now, the status of divinity and soul at the level of the three ancient deities was more manageable than before. And when I took a breath while raising the level of my divinity and soul ordingly, the other persons reaction also exploded violently. [The Demon God begins to feel great excitement about your power.] [ Amazing!! To raise the level of divinity and soul to the same level as mine in such a short period of time!! I guess you were right that you hadnt fought with all your might yet! ] It was worth it. The transcendental myth of this side, , has supernormal abilities that are different from the general myth due to the divine . No matter who it was, the opponent could not help but be astonished since it could be achieved by activating the divine effect Indomitable Spirit of the transcendental mythology . It seems like he is very interested in writing the transcendental myth However, matching the level of divinity and soul to that of the other person is only a starting point. I dont think I have any feelings beyond that. The demon god standing in front of me could not be seen to be particrly nervous or wary. Isnt there a big difference just because I achieved the same level of divinity and soul status as a demon? It was natural. It is true that the divine effect Indomitable Spirit of the transcendental mythology is a fraudulent supernormal ability, but isnt the opponent in front of you a demon god, one of the three ancient deities? Even if this side has achieved the same level of divinity and soul as the Demon God, it is difficult to expect dramatic changes. In fact, the demon god also knows this fact, so although he shows emotions of excitement and anticipation, he does not show any further reaction. Unlike thest time I met him in the Demon World, the Demon Gods power was not restricted, and unlike me, who had used up almost all of the hidden cards specialized for survival and defense, he did not reveal all of his strengths. Its not even just that. Even though I have faced the demon god head-on, I have barely been able to properly figure out any of the various tricks. Most of the abilities that forcibly remove damage, including Holy , Holy , and even the skill Last Resistance, did not work properly. If you dont figure it out, it will be impossible to survive or even escape, let alone defeat the demon god. If we wanted to change the direction of the fight, we needed to gain information superiority. I dont know if its a divine supernormal ability, or a power like a myth or special power It cant be a coincidence if the supernormal abilities specialized for survival and defense were activated in deteriorated versions despite the existence of the transcendent myth . If I get hit one or two more times, I will definitely die. In other words, it must be seen that among the powers possessed by the Demon God, there is something that can pierce even the transcendent myth . Then we will find a solution by then. As much as possible, you will have to respond to the demons attacks with evasion rather than defense and at the same time make a breakthrough within the 4-minute time limit to raise your divinity and soul level. Keyee!! In response, I cut off my thoughts and radiated the quality of divinity and soul, silently emitting the starlight of divinity. [The power skill Holy Light is activated, creating starlight imbued with the sacred .] In an instant, golden sacred power appears on the sword bodies of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Breaking Heavenly Sword, simultaneously swelling the size of their power. [Divine is used.] [It can control the death of everything eroded by Divine .] [Divinity is used.] [Challenger Han Seong-yoons next attack uses divinity. It is imbued with the power to consume] [The divinity lives] [It bes parasitic on things that touch the divinity, absorbing their life force, taking over and controlling it] And. [The godhead-exclusive power Seeker of Pure Death is activated.] [All beings touched by the sacred are ruined as their life, magic, and divinity are gradually polluted.] [All beings touched by the sacred lose their lives and It takes fixed damage from essential elements that are directly connected to it.] [All beings touched by the sacred can never avoid damage caused by a pure seeker of death.] Thats not all. [.] [The exclusive effect Double of the power skill Holy Won Demon Sword is activated.] [By consuming divine power, the power skill power is increased by [4] times.] The power this side has is As if using everything sparingly was not enough, the power of the attack was increased like crazy with the Honwon Demon Sword. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! A blow that can erase mere higher-level deities or formal deities without a trace in an instant. ! It was shot forward in a world at the speed of light, imbued with ferocity due to the status of divinity and soul. Even if it was a strike at the speed of light, which was no different from before, if it hit directly while the level of divinity and soul was raised, even the demon god would not be safe. As if he didnt even know he had drunk it, he smiled as he moved his lips under the ck half-mask in the gray world of super-light speed. Thats amazing. He looked vaguely satisfied, as if he had passed the rigorous screening process over there. It looks like it can be said to be a terrifying power worthy of the god of transcendence and death But. That wasnt enough to reach me It was only for a moment. No. To that, in the world of super-light speed, I answered with my lips in the same way, with my divinity in mind. It is enough. Its no different-. [Sacred are used.] [Sacred power can be consumed to influence the real world with words.] [However, words that interfere with thews of the world consume a lot of sacred power.] Stop. The moment when sacred and sacred were activated together to forcibly stop the flow of time within a certain range. ! In the blink of an eye, the movement of the demon god almost stopped due to the divine and the divine . Time interference? I guess I didnt know that this side could indirectly interfere with the concept of time itself through divine and divine h h h -! Then I have no choice but to just get beaten up, right? Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! After escaping from the world of super-light speed, sounds and waves rang out and the demons body fell to the bottom. Cheeeeeeeee!! Then, I was able to see the demonic figure stumbling around on the ground, which had transformed into a liquid rather than a solid. [The Demon God bursts outughing at the intense pain he hasnt felt in a very long time.] [Hahahahahaha! This is awesome! Its fun, very fun! ] Before I knew it, he wasughing maniacally beneath his ck, incontinent half-mask, spewing out extremely ominous divine and magical energy. [I cant even remember how long its been since Ist had such an interesting fight! ] and. [Theres still more to show, right? ] The ominous energy that had been rising like a haze from the demons body stirred even more violently, giving off a strange pressure. [ Earlier, in order to draw out your full power, I also saved my strength like you ] It was not difficult to figure out that this was a sign that they would no longer care about me. [The Demon God judges you to be the perfect match and unleashes his full power.] [From now on, we will be able to fight properly without any power to hide anything from each other. ] The moment the Demon God turned his head and looked at me with a smile full of madness. Goooo! As the demons new form almost blurred and disappeared from my sight, I also ran forward. maybe. From now on, unlike before, the Demon God will use all means and methods to kill me, revealing his power. Unlike the Demon God seen in the Tower of Trials, the authors power is not limited by creationws such as causality, so he does not know what kind of attack he will unleash. Can I react? In fact, it was obvious that if this side did not immediately react to the demons attacks and find appropriate countermeasures one by one, they would lose miserably. Mo or do. I frowned at that, but had no choice but to ept that there was no other way. From now on, if you cant hold out until the Demon God reveals all its resources, you will have no choice but to die. Nevertheless, I narrowed my eyes and focused on each of the other persons movements with an unwavering mind. Because thats the only thing I can do. You have to do it. and. [The sacred is used and activated, sealing all types of energy, including sacred power, magic power, and demonic energy, for 10 seconds.] From the beginning, tremendous divine abilities were unleashed. Grrrgh-. Despite activating the transcendental myth in an instant, the power of the divine seeps into the body. Perhaps it is possible because the Demon God also possesses an unknown means of breaking through the transcendent myth Fortunately, there are still specialized means for survival and defense. Tick tock!! [Returners Worn Wristwatch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullification is activated.] [Divine returns to state before attack activation by Attack Nullification.] [Returners Worn Wristwatch (SSS+) A 30-minute cooldown is created for the watch (SSS+) exclusive effect Attack Nullify.] In the blink of an eye, the relic Returners Old Wristwatch (SSS+) is activated, and, however clumsily, it uses the abilities of the divine . I pushed it away. As expected, its blocked. The Demon God who saw this had a cold expression on his lips, as if he didnt like something in the world of super-light speed. From before until now. Even though he never fails and blocks all dangerous attacks with his absolute protection system ability Thats annoying. Its as if this sides boasting of absolute survivability with abilities such as Holy , Holy , or skill Last Resistance is lowering the fun of the fight. Let me help you so that we can do our best without fighting like that. At that moment, the demon god touched his lips with a cold smile and stretched out his hand, emitting an ominous-looking divine light. uh? I couldnt help but widen my eyes and be astonished. What is this It s no different. [Divine is activated, targeting a living being and destroying it.] [Divine is activated, sending the energy of the apocalypse from heaven to earth. A shower of thunderbolts.] [The sacred is activated, and mortal shes rain down on living beings within the designated range] Countless divine abilities are unleashed from all directions. This is because it poured out with terrible powers such as annihtion, apocalypse, or mortality. ! And very quickly. Chapter 461 461. Decisive Battle (3) The divine abilities shed an infinitely ominous ray of light and unleashed a power that seemed to devour the world itself. [Divine is activated, targeting a living creature and destroying it.] [Divine is activated, and lightning filled with the energy of the apocalypse pours down from the sky to the earth.] [Divine When this is activated, mortal shes are rained down on creatures within the designated range] Extinction, Apocalypse, Mortal. Even those in the highest ranks of high-ranking gods pour out power, which is a special move among special moves that most cannot obtain. At this point, I couldnt even think of recognizing the opponents number through system messages that appeared beyond my field of vision. ! Should we say that it seems as if the phenomenon of destruction or apocalypse itself has been tranted into reality? As if each of the divine supernormal abilities contained individual will, conceptual supernormal abilities and conceptual supernormal abilities intertwined with each other, amplifying the destructive power exponentially. The divine abilities embroidered in the gray world of super-light speed seemed like beautiful paints scattered in the empty air, spreading out in slow motion. What And because of that, I couldnt help but feel extreme tension and fear as I watched the divine supernormal abilities used by the demon god approach me very, very slowly at every moment. What on earth is this all about? This is something that goes far beyondmon sense. Among the original higher-level gods or formal gods, only a very small number of beings will be able to obtain the divine supernormal abilities rted to mortal death or life. Moreover, unless you have the ability to take away the divinity itself, such as necromancy, it is difficult to have more than one survival skill or special skill. Isnt this just tantlymitting a foul? But Damn it. The demon god was randomly activating divine supernormal abilities that contained the concept of being involved in mortal killing in a very natural way, as if it had nothing to do with suchmon sense. Its not over yet. And. It doesnt stop at divine , divine , and divine , but there are divine supernormal abilities that are activated about a beat or twoter. Its not even just that. In a world tinged with gray, divine supernormal abilities different from the special moves shown earlier are activated btedly and approach as if strangling the air. Since the sacred , sacred , and even the skill Final Resistance were consumed, there were not many abilities left rted to survival and defense. I think I should be able to exclude at least one divine supernormal ability by using the sacred relic Ring Filled with Darkness (SS-) In fact, removing or erasing all the divine supernormal abilities used by the demon is not possible. It was easy to guess that it was something close to impossible. There isnt really an answer, is there? Its almost like Imughing out loud. Then there is only one thing to do. But wow Even if there is not even a glimmer of hope left, there is still a chance to try something. Holding on. The moment I poured divine power into the ring filled with darkness (SS-), a sacred relic worn on my wrist. [The darkness-filled ring (SS-) exclusive effect Deep Night Curtain is activated.] [The darkness-filled ring (SS-) exclusive effect Deep Night Veil causes the Holy to be in the darkness. It is swallowed up.] [The item is destroyed because the exclusive effect Deep Night Veil of the Ring Filled with Darkness (SS-) has been activated.] The exclusive effect of the relic Ring Filled with Darkness (SS-) has been activated. At the same time that the Vilet of Deep Night was activated, the sacred was immersed in darkness. Ugh!! The sacred had to be excluded first because it targets living beings and presents forced annihtion. Passs! Instead, the relic Ring Filled with Darkness (SSS-) was scattered as a handful of ashes, but I did not think it was a waste at all. For now, Ive taken care of one with this, so now there are about six left. It would be more efficient to think of the next number instead of wasting time wallowing in trivial regrets like that. [.] [The unique skill Shell is strongly activated.] [It provides an absolute counter only to the first strike.] The unique skill Shell gives an absolute counter only once per battle. can do. Unlike when fighting against the God of Darkness, the God of Time, and the God of Light, the cooldown has also disappeared as we have entered a new battle phase. In the blink of an eye, I activated the unique skill Shedding and was able to let go of the sacred , even if just barely, without getting hit. Gugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!! Of course, this time, as before, perhaps because of the opponents abilities, I should have stopped at just twisting the trajectory of the attack rather than countering Two. There was no time to waste thought. Bababababababababak!! Because I had to focus on the unique skill sh with all the strength of my body and dodge the numerous shesing from the sacred one by one, relying solely on intuition. Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-! Among the martial arts that I have learned countless times, risking my life solely on the unique skill Spilling, I selected the Chosik that is most appropriate to respond to the current situation and used it together with the Baekgeomjeokgong (ׄߡ) of the Baekgeomchisik to crush the entire space. It seems to block it. three. Everything and everything is one. It was as if my consciousness had melted into the world itself, to the point where I couldnt feel anything except the two swords held in both hands. Now, after handling each and every one of the divine abilities pouring out in front of me with divine skill, I was able to unleash the divine abilities one after another. Kagaang-. four. Kigi geek-. five. Pagagak-. six. Survived like a miracle. Ah But that was just for a moment. Its really too much now. Whether physically or mentally, I faced my limit at the same time without saying which came first. Daldaldal-. It was natural. Even if you can forcibly shed any attack by using the unique skill Spill, the burden of using it is not free. Even if you are an ancient god who has transformed into divinity itself and freed yourself from the bonds of the flesh, if physical damage umtes endlessly, you will inevitably face exhaustion, even if it is temporary. Damn And then. Swish-. Now, shall we check where that persistent vitality ends? The moment the demon god came right in front of where I was standing and raised his fist with a bright smile as if he was enjoying the joy. ! At the same time that my consciousness was shaken, I was able to realize that permanent damage had been done to the concept of divinity itself. Knock-. The transcendental myth also failed to prevent damage to the concept of divinity, so the divinity itself had to endure the pain of being shattered and the powerful physical force that attacked the entire body. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! However. [.] [Returners Old Wristwatch (SSS+) exclusive effect Death Return is activated.] [Completely returns the worlds time to 10 minutes from the time of loss of life. ] [Returners Old Wristwatch (SSS+) exclusive effect Death Return creates a cooldown of 30 days.] Tick, tick -! There was onest means of survival. . A returners worn-out wristwatch (SSS+). Originally, the exclusive effect Death Return of Returners Old Wristwatch (SSS+) would have been able to return the worlds time itself to the past by interfering with the time of a As expected, this time, the Demon God Perhaps because of some kind of power, the worlds time did not go back entirely. It seems like no one has gone back in time except me. In response, I got into a better body than before and refined my divinity and magical power. Still, the amount of divinity and magic power has returned to what it was before fighting the demon god, and all physical damage to the body has disappeared, so isnt it the worst? At least, there was a glimpse of hope in the fact that he was able to withstand all the divine supernormal abilities used by the demon god. Even though each of the divine supernormal abilities used by the Demon God is an incredibly vicious special move, doesnt it have a cost appropriate for its use? From now on, the Demon God will not be able to use the divine supernormal abilities that I just used until the fight with me is over, at most for several decades or however short. Divine supernormal abilities such as Divine and Divine have long cooldowns as well as reliable performance. I was sure. It wont be any different for the Demon God. Of all the divine abilities that I had seen while climbing the Tower of Trials, werent all of them capable of being called special moves? Holy abilities that counter and erase the opponents attack or let it go have a short cooldown as they correspond to defense rather than attack. Holy abilities that focus on attack are more burdensome to use than divine abilities that are focused on defense. It belonged to thisrge axis. In other words, it should be assumed that at least the divine supernormal abilities used by the Demon God will never be able to be used again while fighting with me. Its slowly bing worth doing. and. Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! [The Demon God feels a mixture of surprise and boredom.] [ I dont know whether to call this persistence or amazing survival skills. ] In fact, the proof could be said that the demon god was no longer using his divine abilities to push me. Jump and jump -. However, that does not mean that I have the upper hand in this fight or that I have seen an opportunity to turn the tables. [ I didnt know that I would use up all my divine abilities faster than you could use up all your means of survival. ] The Demon God let out a strangely irritatedugh. [This is truly a hassle. ] As if there was something bothersome about it. [ Despite the fact that I have been working hard to fight for you so that you can reveal all the power you have hidden, you have only responded passively from the beginning until now. ] The Demon God smiled with disappointment under his ck half-mask. [ Although they showed quite a lot of divinity, mythology, and abilities that are not inferior to them. Somehow, in some strange way, he avoids confronting me head-on. Even though you shouldnt have to do that. ] Its no different [ At this point, you have no choice but to realize it, right? ] . It was simple. [The Demon God looks at you and expresses disappointment.] [Isnt it true that you no longer have the strength left topete with me as an equal? ] At some point, the demon god also realized that I no longer had hidden power. Chapter 462 462. Decisive Battle (4) I had one thought as I watched the Demon God reveal a disappointed smile beneath his ck half-mask. [The Demon God looks at you and shows disappointment.] [Isnt it true that you no longer have the strength left topete with me on equal footing? ] got caught. . He also clearly noticed that I was in a situation where it wouldnt be strange if I were defeated by a demon. shit. I have no intention of makingme excuses or self-justifications because I was unlucky. In any case, whether it was early orte, the other side was bound to notice the truth at some point during the fight. In fact, isnt it a miracle in itself that they fought in front of the so-called three ancient deities, the rulers of the universe, in a way that at first nce appears to be a fight between them? In the end, no matter how much I struggle in front of the demon god, this is the end of it. The gamble failed. Thanks to the generous use of the strength I gained while climbing the Tower of Trials, it seems like I have achieved some sess against the Demon God for now Even when the sacred effect of the transcendental mythology is used without hiding the Indomitable Spiritual Attack and abilities such as skills and powers, the limitations are clear. I had to find a way to defeat the demon beforeing here, but I failed. From the beginning, they knew that if they waited too long, this would happen, so they sought a way to resolve the current situation before the other side found out. The only problem is that the other party realized that this was its limit before the demons power could be analyzed and an appropriate countermeasure could be devised. So it was clear what would happen next. I will lose without even weighing anything. The divinity and magical energy emanating from the demon in front of me became a signpost of death, indicating what would happen in the future. [The demon shows you a mixture of disappointment and regret.] [Its a shame. For the first time, I thought I had found a worthy match with whom I couldpete properly In the end, I guess I cant get along with you anymore. ] Should I say that it resembles a child who received a gift and cannot hide his disappointment when he sees the contents inside the gift box? Jump and jump -. [If hundreds of years pass in the future, you too may be a god of darkness or a dragon like me. ] well. Even if you praise me like that, Im not particrly happy. This is even more so when ites to words of constion from a winner to a loser. [ no. This is not something like ridicule, constion, or courtesy given to the powerful. I was just stating the obvious. Given some time, you will definitely be able to reach this ce. ] . I looked at him with an annoyed face and the demon continued speaking. [I see. Maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea to postpone the fight with you until ater date, look forward to the days ahead, and wait for me to reach a position that I can be satisfied with over time. As you said earlier, nning for the future may not be such a bad thing. ] The Demon God spoke, expressing feelings full of disappointment and emptiness. [ However, I dont have much time as I am nothing more than an imitation of a demon god who exists in the fake world rather than the real world. ] So youre saying youre going to kill me right here. [ okay. Even if it is an immature fruit, if you indulge in it, you can feel its own excitement. There may be some regrets, but thats no reason not to enjoy the fight with you until the end. ] Is that so. I expected it. Arent demons by nature extremely self-centered and who decide everything based on whether they feel like it or not? Even if you know that it is a counterfeit product that has only been reproduced in the fake world and not the real world, nothing will change. Perhaps for that demon god, demons from the real world, not the fake world, are not even worth worrying about. The Demon God will be satisfied with the fact that he can defeat a strong person like me before the fake world of the Gods War itself disappears, and he will ept death. Really Even the fact that this person has potentialparable to the three ancient deities is not a reason for the Demon God to show mercy, although it may be regrettable. Its annoying. therefore. I hated losing like this even more. I felt like I would feel relieved if I at least left at least one scar on the demon that couldnt be washed away. Chak-. [The Demon God feels puzzled.] [Its fascinating. Most of the strong people Ive seen in the past usually lose their will to fight when they get to this point Unlike them, you still have no intention of epting the oue. ] As soon as I stepped forward, squeezing out as much divinity and magical power from my body as possible, the Demon God spoke as if he had seen something interesting. under. step. Isnt that obvious? Thats not that surprising to me. The game only ends when one of the two dies. If I had chosen to give up everything in front of the fear of death, I wouldnt havee this far. None of the two have died yet, so theres no way the game will end like this. and. [The god of transcendence and death burns his spirit andughs twistedly.] [ Now is the beginning. ] As I smiled brightly with my eyes shining, the demon god also raised the corners of his mouth like a crescent moon. [The Demon God smiles, showing satisfaction with your tenacity.] [Thats good. ] Next moment. ! In the blink of an eye, without even having to say which of the two would go first, their power exploded like a storm at the same time and the fight resumed. *** Gray world. A fierce battle broke out in a world at the speed of light, where even the ancient gods could not be recognized except for the two people standing here. Various energies such as divinity, mana, and magical energy wereing and going, and fierce attacks and defenses were being repeated. Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Just by mixing their hands once, an aftereffect of tremendous power reverberates around them, and at the end of the collision, the wounds on each persons body increase one by one. Is even this at a dangerous level? The unique skill Spilling used by this side allowed them to even engage in hand-to-handbat with the Demon God, but that didnt solve everything. Im taking more damage than the Demon God. In fact, since I had activated the unique skill Shedding, the enemys attacks should hardly have reached me, but in reality, that did not happen. I dont know exactly what the reason is, but it is difficult topletely avoid attacks because of something that rivals the supernormal abilities of , a transcendental myth written by a demon god. Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-! If we had to be honest, should we say that it is a battle between a spear that pierces anything and a shield that blocks anything? Even though I have tried mixing demons and numbers several times so far, it was difficult to get used to the supernormal ability that can disrupt even the power of the transcendent myth . And because of that, as our side slowly began to lose ground in the battle, the demon god also did not miss the opportunity and took advantage of the gap. Kkwajiik!! In an instant, the demon god forcibly broke the unique skill Spilling and unleashed a kick full of incredible power. ! When I saw that, I was astonished and without even having time to think, I instinctively focused my attention on my side and surrounded it with all my protective abilities. [The effect Blood Spirit Protection exclusive to Vampire Lords Robes (SS+) is strongly activated.] [Creates a top-ss shield with blood inside the body to defend against external attacks.] [.] and. [Skill Shield of Counterattack is strongly activated.] Before I knew it, I was able to feel the overwhelming physical force being exerted upon me as I seeded in encircling my side with divinity and mana in addition to all the protective abilities it possessed. Twaaaaaaaaaa! Just by being hit once by the Demon Gods kick, the protective shields burst open like ss hit by a hammer and are pushed to the side without hesitation. Oh my. However, despite this, I was not thrown to the ground or mortally injured when I was hit by the demon like before. In that short period of time, you concentrated all the divinity, mana, and power of all kinds of objects and supernatural abilities on the hitting area, resulting in minimal damage? The demon gave me apliment with a grin, and then took a stance that made it look as if it was going to rush at me. A truly daring fluke. step. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! Instead of saying anything to the demon god, I opened my eyes wide and converted the magical energy in my entire body into blood. [.] [Skill Punishment is activated.] [All stats increase by +7 during the active time of the skill.] [Magic power is never consumed during the active time of the skill.] [The power of the dragon dwells in you, and your magic power increases by 100%.] Currently, I have enough magic power to cover a, and I can use it infinitely. Whether it is divinity or magical power, it is possible to recharge it as much as it is consumed. It is as if there is no consumption of power. Just as it is possible for ordinary high-ranking deities or formal deities to purify mana into its purest form and transform it into divine power That was no different for me, so I could see the infinity of magical power as the infinity of divinity. As divine power is consumed, the consumption of power itself can be minimized by converting the enormous amount of magical power into divine power and replenishing it. It is possible to unleash power close to the maximum output without stopping, and it is possible to repeat this as many times as long as the fight does not end there. In short, it was difficult to find an opponent in a pure firepower fight and a sustained fight. [The deity-only power List is strongly activated.] [You can designate up to 100 of all beings within 1000m.] [The beings listed on the Reapers list get closer to death every minute and be greatly weakened.] [Anyone who continues the battle for more than 44 minutes while listed in the list of reapers will be eroded by sacred .] Not much time has passed, but I feel like the difficulty of eroding the sacred itself has be easier than before. Since the Godhead-exclusive power List has also been secretly activated from the start, if you push it into a purely firepower fight, even if you dont win, wouldnt it be possible to leave at least one scar? If I can hit the sacred while fighting non-stop at maximum power like this, you never know. In response, I converted the vast amount of magical power in my body into blood in an instant and immediately cast a wide-range attack with maximum output. [.] [Skill Fresh Blood Seeker is strongly activated.] [The power skill Unquenchable Mortal me is strongly activated.] Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! A tsunami of blood that could easily cover a mountain range was mixed with mes that burned everything, almost shing the entire earth. [The sacred is used.] [He can control the death of everything that has been eroded by sacred .] [Divine is used.] [Challenger Han Seong-yoons next attack is imbued with the power to consume divinity] [Divine lives.] [It bes parasitic on objects thate into contact with divinity, absorbs their life force, takes control, and maniptes them] ! Then, the moment when the sacred , the divine , and the divine dwell in the tsunami of blood and fire,pleting a wide-range special move that cannot be avoided. Oh my gosh! The demon god casually destroyed them all in one blow with a fist filled with sacred and demonic energy. It certainly does not have the energy of a pure human species, but could it be a vampire who inherited the blood of the true ancestor? In a world tinged with gray, the demon god raises the corners of his mouth and speaks. For sure. The status of divinity and soul itself seems to be at an upper limit but isnt there still some meat left to chew? however. Lets continue the fight That too was only for a moment. Knock-. ? In fact, the problem was that he broke the wide-range special move that was a mixture of the sacred , the sacred , and the divine with a punch. What is this? In an instant, the demons right arm was stained with dark red divine power, creating a strange atmosphere. Patter-. A situation where the supernormal abilities of divine and divine erode divine and demonic energy thanks to divine , exerting influence even if only slightly. What do you want? That means only one thing. Death sentence. It was a reversal of fortunes. [The power skill Holy Light is activated, creating starlight imbued with sacred .] Kiiiiiiiing!! [.] [Skill Symbol of Destruction is strongly activated.] [All types of abilities gain destruction correction by consuming a certain amount of magic power.] [Holy is used.] [All abilities of challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly elerated and be faster.] [.] [Skill Starlight Expansion is strongly activated.] [All types of starlight are greatly expanded, resulting in up to 4x performance improvement.] The two swords he held in both hands were filled with dozens of powers, in addition to the divine starlight and unquenchable mortal me. [The deity exclusive power Pure Death Seeker is activated.] [All beings thate into contact with the sacred will perish as their life, magic, and divinity are gradually polluted.] [All beings touched by the sacred take fixed damage to essential elements directly rted to life.] [All beings who touch the sacred can never avoid damage caused by pure seekers of death.] and. [The exclusive effect Double of the power skill Honwon Demon Sword is activated.] [Consume divine power to increase the power skill power by [11] times.] It once again ramped up its maximum output like crazy thanks to the Soul Demon Sword. ! At this point, the demon god must have realized that something was not unusual, and he expressed surprise and immediately prepared to counterattack. Theres no need to leave that alone. When I saw that, I activated a power that would not give the other person a chance to counterattack in any way. [The power Sunbo is activated.] [The power is on cooldown for 10 minutes.] [Consumes divine power to immediately move to a desired point within sight.] Teleportation. In the blink of an eye, I was standing in front of the Demon God and quickly swung the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Breaking Heavenly Sword. I was filled with confidence as I watched the deadly power of the Honwon Demon Sword pouring down on the opponent with its deadly power like a vortex. I did it Even if he were a demon god who was called the three ancient gods and ruled as the lord of the universe, there was no way he could easily block this deadly attack. . But Puhwaak-! A strange thing happened. *** Why? ah? Before I knew it, I was escaping from the gray world of super-light speed, and at the same time, I felt a burning sensation near my heart. My heart was pierced As this person lowered his head, I was able to witness his thick forearm radiating divine and magical energy while prating near his heart. Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssttt Ugh!! dump-. In response, I had to let go of the two swords I held in both hands while falling to my knees with blood pouring out of my mouth. Are you saying I was attacked by a demon? how? Pure doubt. The answer to that was one of the system messages in sight. [Divine is used.] [With the divinity , divinity takes on demonic properties, and the limitations of physical strengthening and destruction abilities disappear.] [By the sacred , divinity and magical energy are forcibly extracted and replenished from all those rted to demons existing in the universe.] Divine supernormal ability. It also symbolizes the ancient godhead itself, the demon god, and the concept of divinity, which is the basis of the godhead, was activated. Just as , the divinity obtained by killing the incarnation of the Dragon God, was a conceptual divinity symbolizing the tribal god called Dragon God, I was able to intuitively sense that this was no different. It was a power that existed purely for the sake of being a demon god, a being that could truly be the master of all demons. Patter-. . Then, I saw that there was a hole near my heart, then raised my head and looked at the demon standing in front of me. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co! It was huge. Even if the God of Darkness or the Dragon God came, it would be very difficult to defeat the Demon God in the state of using the Holy C so much sacred and magical energy was flowing out. The limitations on physical strengthening and destruction abilities are lifted by the divinity , and at the same time, divinity and demonic energy can be replenished from the rtives in the entire universe, which is why it is possible to be so strong. Is this the power of the Demon God? In response, I tried to move my body and do something, but was stopped by the other person. Kuuuk-. [The demon puts pressure on your shoulder and smiles excitedly.] [ finished. The winner is me and the loser is you. That fact will never change. ] Before he could even get up, the demon god pressed down on both of his shoulders and made him breathe hard. [I have been fighting against the strong for countless years, but only you were able to be equal to me. ] The Demon God continued his words with a faint smile beneath his ck half-mask. [Unlike the strong people I have been fighting with since I was first born a long time ago, I was able to enjoy the fight with you to the point where I felt like I was really risking my life. ] His right arm was still stained with divine , divine , and divine , but that meant nothing anymore. [If you had been born in the same time as us, everything might have been the opposite of what it is now. ] The game is over. [Goodbye. ] Reality is cold. [Granting of family register. ] I had to ept the fact as I watched the demon god remove his hands from both shoulders and condense his sacred and demonic energy to crush his head with his left hand. ah. It means that death is approaching. Now I cant lift a finger. It was a waste. In fact, from the moment the demon god used the sacred , the opponents power was already confirmed. Perhaps, if we had been able to activate one of ourst cards, we might have been able to turn the tide of the war. step. It ends here. That was it. At this point, there was no longer any room left to lift a finger no matter what the demon god did. From now on, there was no hope as I had to just wait for the demon god to calmly crush my head. Kwaziik-! plosive. And as a result, I felt that my consciousness was fading and that divinity and magic were trying to escape from my body. The death imposed by the Tower of Trials as a trial failure penalty will retrieve even my sacred and sacred , leading to true death. . Somehow I felt like I could hear Dam Cheon-woos voice residing in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, but it was obvious that he would also disappear along with me. Sussss. The journey is over. [He died.] Coldly. *** Consciousness slowly sinks into the abyss. But still, I felt cozy. Even though I knew that I was killed by a demon, it didnt end as if there was something left. What happened? It was bizarre. Why on earth dont I die? Before I knew it, I felt the energy of divinity and spirit more strongly than ever before, and I felt something like a bright light rising from the abyss. Gooooo-! Its not even just that. [.] [Conditions satisfied.] [The user refuses death.] Suddenly a system message appeared. No way is this. At this point, its impossible not to know. Detailed effect (10) C Challenger Han Seong-yoon can refuse death once a year. Necromancy? Last Day. As you climb the Tower of Trials, the level of necromancy increases and the detailed effects also increase. I had not used the tenth detailed effect of Necromancy for a long time, so I had half forgotten about it, but there was a final means of survival. [One of the detailed effects of the unique characteristic Necromancy creates a cooldown of 1 year.] It was an unexpected revival. *** Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo. . Clear. Unlike the enemy who was on the verge of being killed by a demon using the sacred , not only the senses of the body but also the sacred and magical powers returned to their original state. Before I knew it, I was able to see a man standing on andmark that had been destroyed in the aftermath of a fight that took ce in a world faster than light. [The Demon God looks at you and feels absurd.] [Resurrected? ] It was a demon. [This is ridiculous.] The demon god must have never thought that this person woulde back to life right away, and he continued his words without being able to hide his absurdity. [For some reason, just a few minutes after his death, the energy of his divinity and soul seemed to shine so brightly that it was strange. As expected, my ominous premonition is not wrong] The Demon God pursed his lips with a smile hidden beneath his ck half-mask. [ As the god of transcendence and death, his survival skills are definitely at an insane level, arent they? ] Instead of responding to him, I moved my arms and legs around to check if there was anything missing. [Thats amazing. ] It was great. There were no traces of any relics or items they had being destroyed or collected by the Tower of Trials. Moreover, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and Break Heaven Sword that I had released from both hands earlier were also in their original ces, so I grabbed them without hesitation even for a moment. Buzz buzz-! Well, Dam Cheon-woo in the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword was also expressing feelings of astonishment no different from that of a demon god, but there was no time to talk about trivial things. Turp, plod, trudge -. [The Demon God smiles at you with narrowed eyes.] [God of transcendence and death. Even though your obsession with life is amazing you and I both know that the game is already over. Nothing really changes. ] Before I knew it, the demon god had approached where I was standing and was spewing out divine and demonic energy like crazy. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! however. no. Nothing is over. Thats just a misunderstanding on their part. In response, I enjoyed a feeling that was close to refreshing, and my eyes sparkled with fiery emotions. Have you forgotten? [ ? ] I should have told you clearly earlier. [.] A lot has changed since before. [The god of transcendence and death looks at the demon and smiles.] [ The battle ends only when one of the two dies. ] Isnt this a situation where we have gained some sense of the limits and source of the demons power? Back then and even now, if neither I nor the Demon God died, can we say the match is over? [ no. finished. The answer to the power struggle between you and me has already been decided. You wont be able to defeat me. ] I think thats something they can only say after they actually kill me. [ Tsk! Thats something I dont understand. It makes me wonder where on earth that unfounded confidencees from. ] Its not about groundless confidence. It was clear that the future would unfold differently than before. I was just stating the obvious. Just like that, I smiled crookedly while picking up one of the relics beyond my inventory. [Unwavering Faith] [Grade: EX] [A mirror of one who proves,pleted bybining the unwavering faith and divinity of a godhead.] [The exclusive effect Proof of Faith can be activated.] [When activating the exclusive effect Proof of Faith, you can select an opponent and use it to steal one concept divinity for 10 minutes.] [However, the exclusive effect Proof of Faith cannot be activated if the divinity and soul level of the opponent and the user are not equal.] [After activating the exclusive effect of a relic, a one-year cooldown urs.] I have no intention of persuading them or making them understand. and. Well, it wont be long before its decided which of the demons and I will die. The moment he used the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX) while smiling at what would happen in the future. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! [.] [Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect Proof of Faith is activated when the conditions for use are met.] [Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect Proof of Faith selects the opponent and robs them of one concept divinity for 10 minutes.] [Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect Proof of Faith robs the opponent of the divinity for 10 minutes.] [Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect Proof of Faith has a cooldown of 1 year.] In an instant, the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) radiated brilliant divine power and at the same time, a strange event urred. Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! In the blink of an eye, a jet-ck divinity near the demon gods heart flowed towards me in the form of a dark cloud, and new power boiled over. [Divine is used.] [Due to the divinity , the users divinity takes on the same nature as demonic energy, and the limitations on body strengthening and destruction abilities disappear.] [The users divinity and magical energy are forcibly extracted and replenished by the divinity from all those rted to demons existing in the universe.] And very roughly. [.] [Conditions met.] [Thanks to the divine , Taoist Han Seong-yoons divine name has been confirmed.] [Challenged by the sacred Han Seong-yoons divine name is confirmed as demon of transcendence and death.] Its no different. [Error correction.] Kiririk-. [Due to the divine , the god of is confirmed to be the demon of transcendence and death.] Kiririk-. [By the sacred , the divine name of Tao Han is confirmed as demon of transcendence and death.] Kiririk-. [By the sacred , the divine name of challenger Hanseong is confirmed as Demon of Transcendence and Death.] It was simple. [.] [Due to the divine , the divine name of challenger Han Seong-yoon is expanded to Demon God of Transcendence and Death.] Gooooooooooooooooooooooo! drank. One of the cosmic suzerains called the Three Ancient Godheads. The concept of divinity, which is the source of his creation of the highest level of divinity as an ancient deity, was engraved in me even though it was only for a short period of time. Are you saying this is a demon god? That means only one thing. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Deathughs in delight, enjoying his new power.] [ Its fun. ] It means that I have also be another demon that exists in this universe. Chapter 463 463. Decisive Battle (5) Unwavering Faith (EX). The power of the highest-ss relic created by the God of Proof by consuming his own concept of divinity could be said to be beyond imagination. In fact, it is possible to steal the opponents concept of divinity and use it for about ten minutes just by meeting the activation condition that the level of divinity and soul must be equal to that of the opponent. I knew that if you take away divinity, the concept that forms the basis of divinity, which is the best among divinitys supernormal abilities, you can neutralize your enemy. For me, thepatibility is very good as I can equalize the level of divinity and soul with any being by activating the divine effect Indomitable Spirit of the Transcendent Myth . But In fact, because of this, in my fight with the Demon God, I tried to somehow check the opponents power and find out what the best divine supernormal ability was. I couldnt figure this out. However. Challenger Han Seong-yoons divine name is expanded to Demon God of Transcendence and Death by the divinity . I never thought that robbing the divine would lead to the expansion of divine power. This is beyond the scope of prediction. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I feel it. Originally, the concept of divinity that was the basis of this divinity would have been divinity and divinity . In that case, unlike before, in addition to the divinity and the divinity , there was one more concept of divinity symbolizing me. The demon god of transcendence and death I was astonished. At best, it was strange that the expansion of divine power was only achieved during the 10 minutes when the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) was activated. Thats because in the past, the God of Epiphany, one of the ancient deities, was killed and even the concept of divinity was ripped away, but nothing like the expansion of the divine name urred. Actually, there arent many people who can really know what happened. But But thats enough. It didnt matter. [The sacred is used.] [By the sacred , the users divinity takes on the same nature as demonic energy, and the limitations of body strengthening and destruction abilities disappear.] [By the divine , the users divinity takes on the same properties as demonic energy, and the limits of the ability to strengthen and destroy the body disappear. And the demonic energy is forcibly extracted and replenished from all demon-rted people in the universe.] Kugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu! The divinity and demonic energy are literally seething and overflowing like crazy from all over the body. It was at such an incredible level that it was said that the power of divinity and magical energy was forcibly extracted from all demons existing in the entire universe. Moreover, doesnt the sacred have one more truly fraudulent supernormal ability that even erases the limits of its ability to strengthen and destroy the body? Now I understand how the Demon God was able to move faster than me. Just as this side activated the sacred by stacking it and increased its physical abilities by 10,000 times, the other side also activated the sacred to a certain extent, which would have dramatically increased its physical abilities. Ouch-! At this point, I dont really feel like Im going to lose no matter what enemyes my way when Im using the divine . Great. I was able topletely understand and understand why the demon god was able to show such strong power. Are you saying this is a demon god? and. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Deathughs in delight, enjoying his new power.] [ Thats fun. ] At that, I took a deep breath and smiled brightly in the joy that new power brought. But despite this, I was also able to realize that not everything worked out well. For some reason, the demon god standing in front of him had noticeably reduced divinity and demonic powerpared to before, but apart from that, he did not seem to have be weak after losing his divinity . Tsutsutsu-. [The Demon God is shocked by what you did and feels pain at the same time.] [You what on earth did you just do? Why did a part of my sacred transfer to you? ] Unfortunately. . Instead of answering the demons question, I clicked my tongue, feeling great regret. Are you saying that they only stole a portion of the sacred , equivalent to about half of it? That was understandable. At the time of using the relic Unwavering Faith (EX), you would have had to obtain the entire sacred . However, that did not happen, and even though the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) was used, the robbery of the sacred was notpletedpletely. If I were to be honest, I would say that there was a battle for dominance over the sacred between the Demon God and me. It felt like a tug-of-war over the divine . The current Demon God also seems to have instinctively sensed that something unusual has urred and is opposing it with the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX). In the future, even if the 10 minutes that the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) activatessts, it may not be possible topletely take the initiative from the sacred . no. At that, I narrowed my eyes and continued thinking quickly in a split second. Could it be the end when the activation duration of the sacred effect Indomitable Spiritual Attack of the Transcendent Myth expires? Although this side is said to have turned the tide thanks to the use of the relic Unwavering Faith (EX), it does not mean that they have an overwhelming advantage. The robbery of a sacred is done on the premise that the opponent is of equal divinity and soul status. In fact, if we consider the worst-case scenarios, there would also be a possibility that the sacred would be retrieved by the other side. If you dont win the tug-of-war over the sacred , you can say that you wont be able to win the fight in the end. Thats not good. Thats really annoying. But wow! Did the other party also seed in guessing the facts about this? Whoops-! Suddenly, the demon spirit rushed at me like an animal and punched me with no difficulty, and after I easily blocked it, the other person spoke up. [The demon spirit expresses his desire to win and hostility toward you andughs maniacally.] [I can guess. ] The Demon God let out an excited voice as if he was feeling a thrill as he was pushed back quite far by the counterattack this side made. [ Is that a holy relic? ] He carefully managed the sacred and demonic energy to no longer allow the sacred to rob him, while continuing to speak. [ Right? Its also something that an ancient god or a higher level god close to it cannot create without sacrificing themselves. I wonder where you got that stuff from. ] The demon god lightly touched the wound on his cheek from the attack and defense just now with his left hand and smiled. [ hot! This is my first time actually seeing a relic made in that way, not just a rumor or a theory, but Im excited. Never would I have thought that a single holy relic could even take away divinity, the concept that forms the basis of divinity. ] Chak-. [The Demon God feels more excited about the fight with you than before and is happy.] [ However, even if you use that great relic, it is not possible topletely take away the Holy , so take back the leadership of the Holy from you. If I create a gap, the game will be my victory, right? ] Instead of denying that it was not true, I responded with a twisted smile. well. On the contrary, if I get the opportunity to defeat you andpletely steal the sacred , I think I will be the one who wins. and. Like now. At that moment, contrary to before, I entered the world at the speed of light one step faster than the demon god and spoke with my lips. No. The Demon God also activated the now half-divine and entered the world of super-light speed and answered by opening and closing his lips. Just like before. Next moment. Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The world was covered with pitch-ck divinity and magic. *** Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! belch. As soon as the God of Light opened his eyes, what he heard was the sound created by the aftermath of the blows that tore the air and caused the earth to not only rupture but melt. Suddenly, the God of Light realized that the foundation of his divinity, which had been shaken by pure physical force, and his bodyposed of divinity had recovered to some extent, unlike before, and stood up. dizzy. It is also the case that the energies of divinity and mana are both shaken. Thats not all. Aside from being hit by the Seed of Ascension earlier, there are many signs of additional damage. I was puzzled. In fact, at the point when he was beaten by the god of transcendence and death and lost consciousness, the god of light also had to be no longer able to rise. Isnt it a situation where I cant understand why they beat him up like this and didnt kill him in the end? [The God of Light feels confused.] [ I dont know whats going on. ] But even for a moment. [The God of Light bes silent after witnessing the shocking sight.] [.] Just like that, the God of Light stood up, looked at the source of the explosion sound without any particr thought, and closed his mouth. ! The height of violence. This is because, beyond just reaching the speed of light itself, we saw a fight between absolute entities that broke the scope of ordinary physicalws and moved at super-light speed. I realized this the moment I saw two figures appear and disappear every moment in a huge whirlpool made up of sacred and demonic energy. Could it be that it is the demon god who fights against the god of transcendence and death? Before the God of Light lost consciousness, he felt even more confused when he remembered that an energy presumed to be that of the Demon God had approached him. The God of Time has never specifically requested cooperation from the Dragon God or the Demon God other than me and the God of Darkness, hasnt he? Originally, the God of Time would have wanted to subdue the God of Transcendence and Death while excluding the God of Darkness and the God of Light, as well as the Dragon God and the Demon God. I really dont know a single thing about what happened In fact, there was no reason for the demon god to push the god of transcendence and death to such an extent that he sobbed, but that onlysted for a moment. And yet, I dont know why the presence of divinity and demonic energy flowing from the demon god keeps shaking here and there. It was bizarre. Why on earth can I sense the presence of two demon gods in that ce? It was worth it. I dont know why, but in the storm of divinity and demon energy beyond, there were not one, but two signs of a demon god. Unless the god of transcendence and death has the same divinity as the demon god, wouldnt it be an unexined situation? Whats more, I dont know why I keep feeling the energy of the Demon God even more strongly from the God of Transcendence and Death rather than from the Demon God. Its almost like the god of transcendence and death is slowly taking over the divine , but it feels like such a ridiculous thing. Should I help with that? The God of Light, seeing this, wondered if he should join in and lend his strength to the Demon God fighting against the God of Transcendence and Death, but he was unwilling. No the Demon God was a being that purely gave meaning to the act of fighting itself. Rather, I might be the one who goes there and gets attacked. Because demon gods are beings who live with a way of thinking that even the God of Light, one of the ancient deities, cannot understand, it was impossible to know what kind of risk there would be. In fact, it might be possible to add strength by joining the ranks of powerful people who even doubt that he is an ancient god. Moreover, although the God of Light could move at sublight speed, he had no confidence in ignoring thews of physics and moving at superlight speed. If the Demon God is suppressing the God of Transcendence and Death anyway, then the God of Time above will be able to suppress it at will after recing the Divine Confrontation Realm with the Divine Realm. Then there was only one thing he had to do. Okay. From a while ago until now, the God of Darkness has been fighting the Dragon God in the sky. Its no different Swish! [The God of Light leaps high into the sky.] [If we help the God of Darkness and defeat the Dragon God, everything can be resolved naturally. ] It is an unexpected surprise attack from behind the Dragon God, who is struggling with the God of Darkness. *** In an instant, a brawl ensues, with both divine and magical powers swinging at each other at random. ! In the tug-of-war to take the lead over the divine , the light of victory is shining on me, not the Demon God. Is it safe to say that I now have close to 60% control over the sacred ? Victory was achieved. Some time has passed, but its not enough to worry about. However, despite this, the demon god did not get tired and was furiously spewing out sacred and magical energy from all over his body. Ha-ha-ha-!! The Demon God burst outughing like crazy in the fleeting world and attacked me. Its fun!! Unlike before, the Demon God did not have any advantage, but he did not seem to care and even used Dongguijins moves without hesitation. This is the most enjoyable moment of my entire life after being born into this extremely boring universe! A light of joyful emotion shes from him. Is this a fight between life and death?!! maniac. It seemed like nothing else could exin the demons maddening joy. However, regardless of that, I steadily umted damage in the battle with the demon god without overdoing it even once. The shaking is getting bigger and bigger. Every time the demon god was hit by our attack or even grazed him, the control of the sacred itself was gradually transferred to me. If I fight like Im doing now, Im sure Ill win. The time limit was also not something to worry about. In the future, unless he was hit by an unexpected blow from the Demon God, the possibility of defeat was not very high. And ordingly, I fought in a way that definitely eroded the demons stamina and energy, but that didntst long. Huh? It was natural. Isnt that the god of light? Beyond the gray world at the speed of light, something brightly shining, human-like, moving quickly in its own way. Could it be that the God of Light has awakened now! He was the god of light. Not only that, I roughly figured out where the God of Light was going, and it turned out to be a ce where the God of Darkness and the God of Dragons were fighting. In other words, if the God of Light is allowed to go to the ce where the God of Darkness and the Dragon God fight, he will ultimately be defeated regardless of whether this side wins against the Demon God or not. We have to hurry and stop it. But Where are you going so busy? Oh my gosh! In that moment, the demon god also did not miss the opportunity andunched an onught by kicking his side. Chijijijijijijik-! That means only one thing. [The Demon God looks at you and grins.] [God of Transcendence and Death. ] It is none other than-. [I guess you said it yourself earlier? The game doesnt end until one of you and I dies. I hope you keep that word. ] It was simple. [From now on, neither one of them will be able to escape until one of them dies.] All or nothing. . I unexpectedly found myself in a situation where I had to resort to gambling and forcefully end the decisive battle with the demon god. Chapter 464 Episode 464 Fate (1) If I had to be honest, I could say that the match between the Demon God and me was half over. At the point when nearly 70% of the leadership of the sacred was taken away by using the relic Unwavering Faith (EX), the oue was already decided. At best, the initiative of the divine was only around 30%, so it was certain that he would win as long as he continued the fight without responding to the opponents gambling moves. Damn. Yeah. I made a mistake. Until just now. ! Just like that, I gritted my teeth as I engaged in hand-to-handbat with the demon god in the gray world of super-light speed. At that time, I should have definitely killed the God of Light rather than stunned him, but I left it that way and it became the root of the problem. Not good. In a world of super-light speed, where it looks like the pause button for ying a video has been pressed, not only the demon and I, but also a human-like figure made of light is moving in the distance. When I realized that it was the God of Light who had temporarily lost consciousness after being beaten, I felt nervous. Dangerous. It was worth it. Currently, the God of Light appears to be slow because he has entered the world of super-light speed, but he is clearly heading to the battlefield where the God of Darkness and the God of Dragons are engaged in a fierce battle. If the God of Light were allowed to ascend to the sky like this, there was a high possibility that the Dragon God, who was fighting the God of Darkness, would be attacked unexpectedly. Even if I win against the Demon God, if the God of Darkness subdues the Dragon God, I will be defeated in the end without being able to do anything. If this side did not quickly step in and stop the God of Light, it could lead to an uncontroble situation. This is not the time to be fighting demons. But wow! I cant stop it. [The Demon God bursts intoughter as he feels unprecedented enjoyment from his fight with you.] [You said that the game will not end until one of you and I truly dies, right? ] Although it is only a matter of time before this side wins and the Demon God will surely fall someday, the fact that he is also a strong enemy does not change. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! [ Thats good! Now, lets fight for our lives until the end!! Another demon! ] Damn it. great. In response, I narrowed my eyes and brought up with all my might the power of the sacred that was shaking throughout my body. I will fight as you wish until one of you dies. and. therefore-. Next moment. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death exudes divinity and spiritual power and faces life and death.] [Lets prepare a will. ] In the blink of an eye, I moved forward with the strength of my entire body raised to its maximum through the divine . . drank and me. At first, because of the divine , my physical abilities were inferior to the Demon God. Although we were all moving in the same super-light world, the differences became clearer with each step we took. But not anymore. slow. Currently, this persons physical abilities have increased 10,000 times by activating the Holy , and their entire body has been strengthened like crazy with the Holy . However, on the contrary, even though the Demon Gods physical abilities were strengthened by the divine , the same speed as before was not achieved. After a tug-of-war over the sacred , we lost nearly 70% of the initiative, so we have no choice but to slow down like that. That means only one thing. Youre a single person. Now it is the turn of this side, not that side, tounch an onught. ! In a world of super-light speed, which suddenly turned gray and seemed to have stopped, a fight broke out and the attack and defense began. It looks like the Demon God still has the talent to endure in his own way, but that wontst very long. Only. wow! The structure of the fight waspletely different from before. At first, this side fought overusing Dongguijins moves, such as giving bones to the demon god and taking his flesh, but now the demon god had no choice but to fight like me before. Each time the attack and defense went back and forth, dozens of sword marks were carved into the demons body, and even fatal prating wounds were created in some parts. Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-! But this wasnt the case. A situation in which all kinds of attacks are used as the mainstay of the unique skill Leak, and a one-sided sword strike is applied to the opponent. However, despite this, the demon god aggressively fought as if he was willing to give up his bones and take his flesh, as if that were no big deal. Okay, lets see. As it was, I nonchntly channeled the Demon Gods box fighting techniques and steadily umted damage to the opponent. The more damage the sacred umtes against the demon, the more it steadily shines. In fact, the demon gods body had almost copsed due to the divine . From now on, if the demon god makes a few more moves like now, like giving up his bones and taking his flesh, the sacred will burrow deep into the opponents heart. Even if the original divinity is an ancient deity that transformed into divinity itself and achieved immortality, it is a power capable of destroying the very foundation of divinity. Even if he were a demon god, one of the three ancient gods, he wouldnt be able to do anything if he was put on the defensive like this. In response, I narrowed my eyes and countered in sync with the other persons movements, then stepped back. Chijijijijijijijik!! Originally, I had nned to counter the Demon God with the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Breaking Heavenly Sword to end the battle, but contrary to my intention, I was unable to achieve the end. Did it just end with cutting off one of my right arms? It was unfortunate, but it was okay. Well, its not that big of a problem. The victory was still mine. Even though the body of an ancient godhead is made up of divine power, it cannot easily regenerate even the wounds severed by divine . Since the Demon God will have to continue fighting without losing his right arm, it wont be long before he can cut off that head. Lets hurry. At that, I clicked my tongue and quickly prepared to strike first. I can definitely finish it off with the next blow But Huh? It was strange. What is this? Unwavering faith (EX). The highest-grade holy relic that the God of Proof had created by almost grinding his own concept of divinity had disappeared from his bosom. I felt a chill run down my spine because I knew better than anyone else what it meant. Jump and jump -. Its none other than. [The Demon God looks at you andughs happily.] [ Ha. I guess Ive noticed this slowly. Theres no way someone like you wouldnt notice until the end. ] In short, it means that the demon god stole our sacred relic, Unwavering Faith (EX). Sze-. [In fact, I wanted to fight fairly with each others strength and power rather than using such petty tricks, but I was in no position to choose various means and methods in the face of a strong opponent. ] Before I knew it, the demon god was calmly disying the sacred relic Unwavering Faith (EX) with his left hand, as if he didnt care that his right arm was cut off. [This was it, right? It is a top-ss holy relic that allowed them to rob me of the sacred . I had a hard time stealing it secretly without anyone noticing as much as possible. It feels good. ] When I saw that, I frowned and spoke as if I had noticed something. You came at me recklessly from the beginning with the intention of stealing it from me. I understood why the demon god attacked me by using Donggwijins moves so excessively. [ Pfft! Isnt that obvious? The concept of divinity, which is the basis of divinity, has been taken away, so there is no way they will just sit back and suffer. It was nned to be like this from the beginning. ] In fact, the reason the Demon God rushed in and fought like that was to create an opening for me and steal the relic Unwavering Faith (EX). [ Top quality relic. Among them, it is a masterpiece that can only be created by an ancient god or a high-ranking god close to it by sacrificing itself but the durability of the relic itself is not that great. ] Ouch-! At that moment, the demon god tightly grasped the sacred relic Unwavering Faith (EX) in his left hand, and as the strength in his grip increased, natural results followed. Kwaziik! Its no different. . The relic Unwavering Faith (EX) was crushed like a cookie and shattered. *** In an instant, the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) was shattered without even having time to try anything. At that fact, I had to grit my teeth and control my anger and frustration. But despite this, the anger did not subside easily. I didnt expect you to be caught off guard in such an annoying way. This side paid close attention to the demons every move and fought without letting down their guard to be able to deal with everything. Perhaps the demon godmitted some kind of trick while fighting me. In other words, it is highly likely that the demon god stole the sacred relic Unwavering Faith (EX) by activating supernatural abilities such as divine supernormal abilities or special powers. Its annoying. Know. Even if this side had taken some countermeasures, the Demon God would have used any means possible to steal the relic Unwavering Faith (EX). There was no waymon sense would apply to that being, as it was a being that could partially disrupt even the power of the transcendent myth . But other than that, its annoying. . It was worth it. In fact, the sacred relic Unwavering Faith (EX), created by the God of Proof by sacrificing himself, is no different from an object that embodies his will. Seeing it broken like that is not a very pleasant experience, not least because of the material value of the relic Unwavering Faith (EX). But there was no panic. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death shows cold anger.] [So is that the answer? ] Thats because the sacred was still engraved on me and had not disappeared. [The Demon God feels regretful after seeing the divinity and magical energy flowing from you.] [ Hmm. Well, like a top-ss relic, the unique ability itself does not disappear immediately once activated. What a shame. ] The Demon God who saw that responded as if he was very disappointed, but a smile that could not be hidden was revealed on the corner of his mouth. [ Well, anyway, with this, you will no longer be able to possess the sacred carelessly, so it can be said that the intended goal itself has been achieved. ] I responded coldly to the demons unintelligible mutterings. Youre saying something I dont understand. The sacred is still engraved on me. Its the same as the fact that the initiative of the sacred you have is less than half. The disappearance of the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) is itself something to be angry about, but the aspect of the fight does not change. chuck. If you thought that was a way to beat me, I can tell you that you were absolutely wrong. As it was, I filled the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword with divinity and demonic energy and unleashed divine abilities, including the sacred . I will kill you for sure this time. But. [No. ] Something was strange. [The Demon God looks at you and smiles confidently.] [Unlike before, you are no longer qualified to fully handle the sacred . ] Gooooo!! In an instant, as soon as the demon god finished speaking, my heart started pounding hard and I felt dizzy. Ugh!! As a result, I felt pain as if my whole body was being shattered and at the same time, I vomited blood. Sigh-! Kuheook! Its not even just that. As soon as I realized that I was bleeding continuously from my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, I knew something was definitely wrong. The divinity and magical power constantly surging from within the body by the divine are creating an unbearable burden. What is this? As I stumbled in confusion, the demon spirit burst intoughter and spoke as if he had been waiting. [ Pfft. Didnt you just say that? You no longer have the qualifications to properly handle the sacred . If you had warned me, I should have listened. ] He looked at me and continued talking as if he knew what wasing. [Demon god of transcendence and death. ] At this point, I also vaguely realize what is wrong. [You also know, dont you? For the Godhead, the concept of divinity is subject to subjective interpretation. For this reason, some of the divine supernormal abilities sometimes have unique abilities that are somewhat distant from the essence of the corresponding concept. ] Something like a buffer that allowed this side to possess and handle the sacred intact has disappeared. [ hmm. Although the concept of divinity, which is the basis of divinity, is no different there is one aspect that is somewhat different from the general concepts of divinity. That is, the concept that is the basis of divinity: divinity contains the individual ego. Thats definitely special. ] I have a guess. [ no. Perhaps it can be seen as a mixture of the concept of divinity and the individuals ego. It frequently happens that the subjective interpretation of the concept of divinity affects the ego of the divinity. In that sense, you can say that the sacred contains my ego itself. ] That too, very definitely. [ Top quality relic. It was created by an ancient god or an equivalent higher god by sacrificing its own concept of divinity. Thanks to this, he was able to take away more than half of the leadership of the sacred , but the problem was also clearly revealed when the top-ss relic was destroyed. ] Without waiting for the Demon God to exin any longer, I barely managed to gather myself and spit out the words as if I was chewing. In short, isnt it that the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX) suppressed the mental pollution caused by the ego contained in the sacred and allowed it to be used intact? Isnt it a simple story? And at the point when the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX) was destroyed, mental contamination by the sacred also began. It simply means that the poison began to work properly at the point when this side possessed the poisonous cup of the sacred without the assistance of using the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX). [ yes. Although it is said that the divine is divided between you and me, fundamentally speaking, it is a power that symbolizes me. Its natural for my memories, emotions, and ego to be eroded. ] If the transcendent myth did not exist, it would not be strange if the mind had already been polluted by the divine long ago. Are you trying to rush and defeat the demon for no reason and end up facing the worst situation? The story might have been different if they had fought in a way that took away the initiative of the sacred without engaging in confrontation with the Demon God as much as possible. [Rather, now, because of the divine , even the divine abilities within you would have been contaminated. It goes without saying that you wont be able to use the concept of divinity, and it will be difficult to even lift a finger, let alone show off movement at the speed of light. ] But even for a moment. [The demon looks at you and smiles crookedly.] [Ah. Now that I think about it. You told me earlier to prepare a will, right? Let me give it back exactly as it was said. ] The next moment. [Have you prepared a final will? ] In response, I immediately activated the power I had not used until now. [.] [Activates exclusive authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill].] [You can designate one of challenger Han Seong-yoons skills as a skill.] However, the demon god also knew that this side would immediately counterattack. As if he had realized this, he quickly came up with a countermeasure. [Divine is used.] [Specific abilities may be permanently extinguished by Sacred .] [By Sacred , Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill] is permanently restored. It disappears.] [ Huh. Thats amazing. I wonder if he still had something hidden? I wonder why it wasnt used. Well, no matter what, I wont let you use that] It didnt matter. Anyway, the exclusive authority #A-0107 [Transcendence Skill] that we used was only used for a moment. Perhaps, he thought that some of the divine supernormal abilities possessed by the Demon God could counterattack and neutralize this sides power at the same time, so he threw out a bait. The real thing was different. [The Transcendence Myth is activated.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons movements will be affected by the sacred effect of .] [When activating the Holy , the speed of Superlight may vary depending on the users capabilities. You can perform movements that reach .] [? This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.] [ From now on, the divine effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.] [What is the situation? Even if it is a condition, it bes possible to forcibly activate a specific ability.] [ However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the closer the situation and conditions are, the greater the recoil from use of the effect.] [? The effect is effective immediately after activation . [You will have to pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.] The transcendental myth , which was achieved by making full use of movement at the speed of light, contained two divine effects. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co! One is that no matter what state you are in, if you have activated the divine , you can use movements at the speed of light, and the other is the power that makes it possible to activate specific abilities no matter what situation or condition you are in. . My heart is pounding -. That means only one thing. [.] [The sacred is used.] [With the sacred , the divinity takes on demonic properties, and the limitations of body strengthening and destruction abilities disappear.] [The sacred By this, divinity and demonic energy are forcibly extracted and replenished from all those rted to demons existing in the entire universe.] I meant that the divinity can be forced to use whatever penalty it has. What? The Demon God who saw this expressed extreme embarrassment even as he entered the world of super-light speed, but it was none of his business. ! ordingly, this was the moment when we rushed away and at the same time, hundreds of sword attacks erupted in the gray world. Whi-profit-! Among the numerous trajectories drawn by the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword, only one beam of light miraculously pierced the heart of the Demon God. Puhwaak-! That too for sure. Chapter 465 465. Destiny (2) In an instant, the blood and heavenly sword and the broken heavenly sword stretched forward, drawing hundreds of different trajectories. What? Of course, the demon god was also shocked and had to desperatelyunch a counterattack in the world of super-light speed. What is this! However Currently, the Demon God not only lost his right arm in the fight with me, but his entire body is imbued with the sacred , and he is in a state of being on the verge of death. It was almost impossible to fight against me, who not only used the transcendental myth to move at the speed of light, but also forcibly used the divine . ! A fatal blow thatbines the divine , divine , and divine with the divine power exclusive power Pure Death Seeker, and strengthens the output by more than ten times with the Soulwon Demon Sword. Puhwaak-! It pierced the heart of the demon god. In the blink of an eye, the powers of sacred , sacred , and sacred are applied along the red de of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword. The Demon God gritted his teeth and tried to hold on somehow and drive out the divine abilities, but the divine power exclusive power Pure Death Seeker was able to break through any defense. Kkwajiik-! like now. Kk!! It was not something that could be ovee through willpower or persistence. Before the demon god knew it, there was no time to react, and the deadly energy centered around the sacred resonated throughout the body, starting from the heart. Even if he is one of the three ancient gods and a demon god who has reigned as the ruler of the universe, he cannot resist the divine . dump-. As it was, the demon god fell to his knees, unable to withstand the damage caused by the sacred , and even his sacred and magical energy was tainted. [The Demon God widens his eyes and shows a mixture of pain and confusion.] [What is this] That also onlysted a moment. Gooooooooooooooooooooooo! After seeing that, I took back all the remaining parts of the sacred s initiative and took them away. In other words, the Demon God has reached a perfect 0% level where the share of the divine no longer exists at all. I instinctively knew what meaning and value it had without any exnation from me or the Demon God or anyone else. Isnt the immortality of the ancient godhead a power thates from being transformed into the concept of divinity itself? I looked down at the Demon God spitting out blood and calmly pursed my lips. At the point when theypletely took away the divinity from me, you could say that the immortality achieved through concept divinity also disappeared. Its none other than Its checkmate. It was a deration of victory. *** Winners and losers werepletely divided. It was said that the game would not end until one of the two died, but now the story is different. In fact, at the point when the demon god waspletely robbed of my sacred , it was decided who would live and who would die. [The Demon God smiles bitterly, full of regret.] [ Im losing in a way I never thought possible. ] Even though he drank it, he smiled a somewhat lonely smile, as if he had no intention of denying it. I had bad luck. If it werent for me, I might have won even if it were a dark god or a dragon god. [ is that a word of constion from a winner to a loser? Or is it a courtesy to the strong? ] Neither. As you told me earlier, this is just an obvious fact. [Unlucky. ] He responded with a smile as if he was annoyed that I was repeating what I heard from the Demon God before he died. Do you have any abilities rted to recovery, healing, or resurrection? [ okay. Unlike you, the god of transcendence and death, I do not have the ability to erase divine supernormal abilities or revive from death. External bnce. ] Well, I thought at least one person like me would have the ability to survive by force, but it turns out I was out of luck. [ Pfft! Surprising? No. Its strange that someone like you has the ability to be forced to survive over and over again. Normally, when you die like me, you die. ] . It wasnt particrly wrong. Not only has this person gained numerous special abilities by climbing the Tower of Trials, but isnt it possible to extract the concept of divinity through necromancy? If we had to be honest, it would have to be said that it is unique in that it possesses abilities such as absolute defense or forced survival that even ancient gods cannot easily possess. [The Demon God spits out words with augh.] [Huh Well, even if that wasnt true, it might be because I didnt believe that the day woulde when I, and no one else, would die like this. As an ancient deity, a being with immortality does not disappear under any circumstances and is bound to be revived someday. ] The Demon God continued speaking with a somewhat regretful yet relieved look on his face. [But not in the future. ] After seeing that, I quietly listened to him. [If the sacred dies while being robbed by you, it will nevere back to life. ] Are you afraid? [ no. Not really. Ive been around the universe for a long time and tried everything I wanted to do. Especially when ites to fighting against strong people, I have experienced it to the point of exhaustion. Of course, my struggle with you was nothing more than a pastime that couldnt even bepared but I was satisfied. ] Is that so. The demons ck half-mask suddenly broke, as if he had lost consciousness, and Mi-hyeongs face, hidden inside, was revealed. [ So ] But thats just for a moment. [Goodbye. ] As it was, the demons body turned into a cloud of divine light and began to slowly dpose, starting with the limbs. [Granting of family register. ] The moment when the body of the demon god, made up of divinity and demonic energy, bes a cloud of ck light and disappears, and even life reactions arepletely lost. Tsutsutsu. Suddenly, at the ce where the demon had fallen, his figure was nowhere to be seen, and there was something that looked like a familiar jet-ck gas. . It was amand. After seeing that, I activated necromancy and tried to absorb the devils spirit, but it didnt work as I hoped. Even though they had activated necromancy, there was no sign that the spirit in front of them was about to be absorbed. The myth is also not activated at all like necromancy. Is it impossible after all? Even though the Tower of Trials had set Necromancy not to be used on ancient deities, I thought it might still work, but that didnt seem to be the case. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo. There is no particr difference when activating the Transcendence Myth . Of course, if you try to forcefully activate the unique characteristic Necromancy here with the Transcendent Myth , it seems like it should work For some reason, I cant imagine forcibly activating Necromancy with the Transcendent Myth . I quit because I felt an instinctive sense of crisis that there would be a repercussion beyond that. Even if I can force the use of a specific ability with the Transcendence Myth , I must pay the full price for its use. It is no different now that I am forced to use the sacred without the assistance of the relic Unwavering Faith (EX). My heart is pounding -. I feel like the divinity is slowly eating away at my divinity and soul, polluting it in some way. From now on, when the activation of the sacred ends, you will have to pay the price for continuing to use the sacred with the Transcendent Myth . I was sure. I have to finish what I have to do by then. This means that everything must be finished while the sacred can be handled with the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX). chuck-. The divine effect Indomitable Spiritual Attack of the Transcendent Myth has disappeared due to the end of activation, but there is no hesitation. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Currently, thanks to the divinity , I am in a state where I have perfectly inherited the divinity and soul status of one of the three ancient deities. Perhaps I can be considered to be at the same level as the three ancient gods. I have confidence. Even if two of the three ancient godse together to defeat me, I can be confident that they can fight as equals without suffering any injuries. At that, I smiled as I stared at the battlefield in the sky where the God of Light had ascended while fighting the Demon God earlier. Then there is no need to hesitate. and. Chijijijijijijijijijijik!! ordingly, the moment when he consumed the nearly infinite demonic power obtained through the sacred to create a huge, pitch-ck door. Folding Whirlpool Kugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu though! Due to the ck magic used, which consumed infinite sacred and magical energy in an instant, even the flow of space and time around it was distorted, creating a bizarre and overwhelming scene. Shall we go? After seeing that, I walked out there with a satisfied smile. Jump and jump -. Perhaps the God of Light was nning to intervene in the fight between the God of Darkness and the God of Dragon while this side was fighting the Demon God Im looking forward to it. Even though it onlysts for a moment, I am now a being with power on par with the three ancient gods who rule this universe. I It was obvious what would happen next. I wonder if we will be able to achieve victory even against that god of darkness. Pleasantly too. *** Abyss. In this space, which is so filled with darkness that it is impossible to see even an inch ahead, the waves of divinity reverberate harshly. The God of Darkness and the God of Dragon faced each other with their concept divinity activated more powerfully than ever before. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! But wow! Unlike the original, the result of the sh between the divine and the divine Starlight centered on the divine was not a draw. Chijiiiiiiiike! [The Dragon God frowns at having lost one step in a battle of pure power.] [ Pfft] Suddenly, the Starlight of the Divine, with the Divine as the main axis standing in front of the Divine , bes unstable for an unknown reason. It was broken with reflection. Sssss-. It was then. Tuk-. The God of Darkness revealed himself from the darkness without any warning and, unlike before, giggled and spoke words filled withughter. [The God of Darkness notices that the other person is not in perfect physical condition and smiles.] [Hehe. Poor dragon god. Unlike when I saw it before, the basis of the concept of divinity has be very crude. Fighting with me is at the level of bravery. ] Her eyes were colored with dark gold. [Okay. That was then? God of Transcendence and Death When I fought that noble child as an incarnation on the Western Front, something went wrong in my concept of divinity. Right? ] The Dragon God, who heard what the God of Darkness said, did not respond and kept his mouth shut. [. ] It was the correct answer. In fact, there was a serious defect in the divine when it lost its incarnation to Han Seong-yoon. Its like a situation where the foundation of the divinity has been torn away, as if someone has robbed a part of the divinity . The dragon god, who did not think it was because of Han Seong-yoons necromancy, thought that things would get better with time, but that was not the case. The fact that the power of the sacred is weakened is a huge disadvantage in achieving victory over the God of Darkness. The divinity of the Dragon God has not improved in any way despite the passage of time. Throbbing, throbbing-. Its not even just that. Currently fighting against the God of Darkness, the Dragon God has received not only minor wounds on his body, but also damage that can be considered fatal. In fact, the fact that he was facing the god of darkness was nothing short of a miracle, but the dragon god did not show his pain and just endured it and pretended to be rxed. [The Dragon Godughs.] [Well? Its true that Im weakened because of my sessor but its not particrly difficult to fight. At least I wont lose to you, the god of darkness. Theres still a long way to go. ] The Dragon God said this with a light provocation, and then once again radiated the divine starlight. Kiiiiiiiiiiing!! step. [ ! ] That too was only for a moment. Suddenly, a bright light burst from behind the Dragon God and a surprise attack wasunched at incredible speed. The Dragon God immediately tried to respond to the surprise attack from behind by twisting its body, but since it had just received too much damage to move as intended, it had to be slow to react. Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The dragon god was hit by an attack made of light beams on his side, and as he bounced far away, a man made of light appeared. [The God of Light bursts intoughter.] [ Is this good? I never thought I could inflict damage to the Dragon God like this from the first surprise attack. The ie exceeds expectations. ] It was then. [The God of Darkness is annoyed by the intervention of an unexpected person.] [The God of Light. Why are you here? I never gave you permission toe here. ] The God of Darkness said that with a frown, as if the God of Light didnt really need help. [God of time. You are no different from that filthy thing. I dont like the fact that I cant even fulfill my role ande to interfere in other peoples affairs Do you want me to kill you? ] The tone is as if the God of Light is scolding Han Seong-yoon, asking why he came here instead of doing so. [ Do not misunderstand. Seed of Ascension So, I decided that I could no longer handle the gods of transcendence and death, so I came here. Hes fighting a demon right now. Theres nothing I can do about it. ] [A demon? ] [ okay. Suddenly, the demon god challenged the god of transcendence and death to a fight. I only came here because I thought that if I interfered with their fight, I too would die. I didnt particrly want to interrupt your event. ] [ . ] Although the God of Darkness frowned, he gave off an air of understanding, and the God of Light hurriedly continued speaking. [Rather than that, the priority is to defeat the Dragon God as quickly as possible while the Demon God deals with the God of Transcendence and Death. ] The God of Light grabbed the brilliant light in both hands and turned them into the shape of a bow and arrow, respectively, and aimed them forward. [If you and I do not defeat and subdue the Dragon God together here, he will be a troublesome obstacle. Considering that the god of transcendence and death refers to the seed of ascension as a sessor, it seems like they have a special rtionship that I dont know what it is, so I cant make him back down through conversation. ] Kwakgaag-. [The God of Light looks at the Dragon God and smiles confidently.] [Whats more, ording to the story I just heard, the Dragon Gods divinity is also weakened? Then you can take it down as much as you like. Are you sure. ] And patter-. The Dragon God barely stood up,pletely devastated, as he listened to the conversation between the God of Darkness and the God of Light. Ah She was aware that it would be difficult to even pass the time, let alone win the fight anymore. I really dont like it. A bitter smile appeared on the Dragon Gods lips. I just wanted to show my cool side in front of my sessor. Actually, after sessfully defeating the God of Darkness, I wanted to talk about various things with my sessor. But before I can even do that, it looks like I will be killed before my sessor. She tried to concentrate on recovery and defense by squeezing out all her divinity and mana, but even that wasnt easy. I have to protect my heir somehow The dragon god felt sad as his eyes became increasingly unfocused. I guess its impossible. The bow made of divinity held in the hand of the God of Light and the arrow emitting more brilliant light and increasing its output. Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Perhaps the moment the God of Light lets go of his bow and fires an arrow, he will fall without even being able to defend himself properly. Its a shame Yongshin slowly closed his eyes and calmlyposed his mind in regret and regret. I didnt know I could no longer be alone. And. Peeeeee-! ordingly, the moment when the God of Light aims his bow made of brilliant light and fires an arrow with maximum output. ! A strange thing happened. *** The dragon god felt strange with his eyes closed. Originally, he would have epted that he would no longer be able to fight on his own with the God of Darkness and the God of Light in front of him. But I dont know why, but the dragon god didnt have any wounds and no pain was felt anywhere. What is this? It was bizarre. On the contrary, it seemed as if the pressure that had been pouring in from here and there in the abyss of space made up of sacred had disappeared and only warmth remained. The Dragon God had exhausted all of her divine and mana powers and was exhausted, but she instinctively sensed that someone had helped her. Who on earth helped me? And then, the moment the dragon god carefully opened his eyes and raised his head. uh? Gooooooooooooooooooo! In front of him, a man was standing with his back turned, radiating incredible energy. I guess I got lucky with this at just the right time. A somewhat familiar voice. You dont have to force yourself to fight to protect me anymore. However, it was also an unfamiliar situation. Because he has lived the life of an overwhelmingly strong man as a dragon god, he has never once been protected or cared for by anyone. The author was the first person to protect the Dragon God, one of the three ancient deities, and say that he did not have to fight so proudly. Jump and jump -. It was none other than. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death smiles.] [ I will take care of everything from now on.] It was Han Seong-yoon. Chapter 466 466. Destiny (3) Goooo! In the blink of an eye, I entered this abyss-like space, nced around, and finished assessing the situation. Should I say I was lucky with this. If I were to really ask, should I say it was a close pass? It seemed as if the God of Darkness and the God of Light standing in front of me had appeared before they hadpletely defeated the Dragon God. This was possible because the ck magic [Folding Whirlpool] was also strengthened like crazy thanks to the activation of the sacred . Fortunately, it seems we arrived in time just before the dragon god fell. At least the Dragon God was prevented from copsing after being attacked by the God of Darkness and the God of Light. Hearing that, I let out a small sigh of relief and slowly turned my head back to look at the overall condition of the Dragon God. Not only are there wounds all over her body that seem serious at first nce, but it feels as if her body is empty of divinity and mana. Well, regardless of that, the Dragon God is in good enough condition to fight with me right now. It was serious. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the original dragon gods divinity and mana energy were equivalent to the size of a. In that case, if the Dragon God had been pushed to that level of exhaustion, it would have been difficult for him to be of much help in the immediate fight. I dont know why, but it seems like the dragon gods eyes are hazy and unfocused. Its not even just that. Unlike when I saw it earlier, the dragon gods eyes were hazy and open, as if he was fascinated by something. No matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been taken over by someone, and it doesnt look like its fit for battle. At least we need to give the Dragon God time to recover some strength. In response, I lightly rxed my body and said one more word to Yongshin. Dragon God. You can restfortably. I will protect you from now on. and. Paaaa-! As it was, I helped the Dragon God with divinity, mana, and magic energy so that she could recover her condition more quickly. Whioooo-! In an instant, the energies of divinity, mana, and demonic energy all mixed together and permeated into the body of the dragon god. Is it slowly? Since this side has used the divine supernormal abilities, skills, and authority, as well as ck magic that can help with recovery, the Dragon Gods condition will also improve to some extent over time. I think this will be enough to heal the Dragon God. But [The Dragon God looks at you andughs.] [Huh] Why? [ Thats right, sessor. ] For some reason, the dragon gods eyes had a haziness that seemed even more vivid than before. [ Thank you so much. ] Its almost like Im falling in love with someone. *** Yongshin felt warm as he looked at the man standing in front of him. Since I was born as the only tribal god of the dragon species in the entire universe, I have never been protected or cared for by anyone. For her, there was no natural rtionship that anyone could dream of, such as parent and child, or teacher and student, and because of that, she always lived with loneliness in her heart. Itsfortable Is that why? Yongshin looked at the man standing in front of him and for the first time in his life, he could feel what it was like to be protected. Having someone protect her even if she didnt do anything was a better feeling than she expected. Sssss-. The Dragon God smiled brightly as he felt the colorful energyposed of divinity, mana, and demonic energy warmly surrounding his body. This is my first time. My heart is pounding -. Before she knew it, her heart was beating happily, showing that the tension was slowly dissipating. There was someone protecting her in front of her, and there was also a connection that might be with her for a long time toe. Somehow, it seemed like now the dragon god could restfortably, leaving everything to the man standing in front of him. The loneliness that has umted for a long time gradually melts away as if spring has arrived, and new emotions bloom. I could rest for a little bit The Dragon God thought and surrendered himself to the incredibly cozy energy. *** Before I knew it, I saw the Dragon Gods eyes closed, tilted my head and looked puzzled. It seems true that the Dragon God is in a bad state in many ways. From this point of view, the Dragon God was not experiencing any abnormalities other than being exhausted and umting damage, but somehow the Dragon God seemed different from before. I was worried that if I continued like this, the Dragon God would not be able to help me over time, but there was nothing I could do about it. In that case, it is best to do nothing at this time. Anyway, all I can do is leave it alone until the Dragon God gets better. Just like that, I turned my head and looked at the God of Darkness and the God of Light standing in front of me. Okay. As if the God of Darkness sensed something, he silently took a step back and almost buried himself into the abyss. Did you notice? Perhaps this side has seeded in robbing the divine , and has vaguely sensed that although it is temporary, it has gained equal power to the dark god in its own way [The light god is confused by the divine energy he senses from you] [Reveals.] [What happened? ] Unlike the god of darkness, the god of light standing in front of her did not seem to notice much about me. [ Seed of Ascension Why do I sense the presence of a demon god in you? ] Just because I sense the presence of a demon god from here, I am only raising a number of questions. [And the presence of the Demon God is felt more strongly than when I saw it earlier] No matter how much I thought about it, I couldnt seem to reach the conclusion that this side hadpletely, at least temporarily, robbed me of the sacred . [ you! What on earth did you do? Where is the demon? answer me quickly! If you dont, Ill make you pay. ] Is that why? you. It was noisy. Why dont you just keep your mouth shut. Isnt that right? Im not in a very good mood right now. The God of Light standing in front of me, even outside the Tower of Trials, did not show me as much favor as the three ancient gods, nor was he particrly friendly or hostile to me. I dont particrly want to have any more conversations with small-timers like you. Because of that, I did not feel like being more considerate of the God of Light and continued speaking purely with the thought of being intrusive. He still doesnt even realize that I defeated the demon god, so do I need to talk to him? Isnt it impossible to kindly lecture someone who only shows confusion without realizing that this side has robbed them of the divinity itself, the concept of a demon god? If you open your mouth one more time, I will kill you right away. I said that with anger and frustration in my eyes. therefore-. and. Why dont you think of a will instead of spouting useless nonsense like that? ordingly, the moment I realized that the God of Light, upon hearing what I had said, was filled with anger that seemed very intense even at first nce. [The God of Light is extremely angry at your arrogance and arrogance.] [You!! ] . Just like that, I walked towards the God of Light at a speed that reached super-light speed and lightly ced my foot on his abdomen. Tuk-. But [ ! ] It seemed to the God of Light that he had used teleportation, and as if he had not noticed the approach at all, he expressed a feeling of astonishment and fear at the same time. I Only. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death roughly disys his divine power and reveals his murderous intent.] [ I would have told you to keep your mouth shut, right? ] That too was only for a moment. I hope you have prepared your will properly. [ what? What on earth is this! Now wait a minute! Wait.] The God of Light tried to resist by uttering a sacred voice full of fear, but he had no intention of giving him the chance. Well. Well, no matter what kind of will they have prepared, I wont have to listen to such trivial stories. obviously. Puheook-. Just like that, I pushed the other persons stomach with my foot as if lightly pushing, and pure physical force reaching the speed of light itself was applied forward. !! And very roughly. *** In an instant, pure physical force poured forward at a speed that reached the speed of light itself. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Just like that, the God of Light was hit in the stomach and fell into the distance, bumping back and forth in this space made up of abysses. Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!! The abyssal space made of sacred also seems to have been unable to withstand the high level of physical force and is on the verge of splitting and breaking. nice. I looked ahead, feeling satisfied that although the attack wasnt that perfect, it wasnt that bad. Kwazijic-! [The God of Light cannot bear the unbearable pain and screams.] [Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ] It was worth it. In fact, this side lightly kicked the God of Light and at the same time used a special move that included sacred , divine , and divine . Moreover, since the Godhead-only power Pure Death Seeker had also been activated, there was no way the God of Light could resist it. h h h h-! It breaks. Because the God of Lights entire body was made of brilliant light, he was more vulnerable than anyone else to the phenomenon of divine copse caused by divine , divine , and divine . Before we knew it, the God of Light had reached a point where the very foundation of his divinity had been shaken by pure physical force and the very concept of divinity had been destroyed. [The God of Light senses his own death and falls into despair.] [Its a lie? Poetry divinity is disappearing? Am I going to die? That cant be possible!! ] They disperse. The energy of divinity and mana that the God of Light has collected for tens of thousands of years is returning to nothingness due to the divinitys . Even if it is a being that transforms into divinity itself and bes an immortal called an ancient deity, the phenomenon of annihtion of divinity due to divinity cannot be avoided. Chak-. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death sentences you to death.] [Just shut your mouth and die. ] ordingly, in a split second, I moved forward and swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword and struck the God of Light with a sword strike. Quaziiiiiiiiiiig-! In an instant, the God of Light was unable to maintain the form of his divine body and began to tremble as if there were noise and begin to die. [ !! ] While climbing the Tower of Trials, one of the special moves that was tested on one of the ancient gods was unleashed. [Uses Divine .] [Divine erodes all things ording to the users will.] [Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine .] And. [The godhead-exclusive power Seeker of Pure Death is activated.] [All beings touched by the sacred are ruined as their life, magic, and divinity are gradually polluted.] [All beings touched by the sacred lose their lives and Fixed damage is inflicted on essential elements that are directly connected to it.] [Any being touched by the sacred can never avoid damage caused by a pure seeker of death.] The next moment. [Divine is activated to extract concept divinity from the [God of Light].] [Divinity is activated to extract concept divinity from the [God of Light].] [Divinity This is activated and the concept of divinity is extracted from the [God of Light]] Tsutsutsu! The divine came out of the God of Light and flowed into me. However, rather than epting it into my body, I simply scattered it outward and got rid of it. Anyway, even using the sacred felt incredibly burdensome, and I couldnt afford to ept the sacred as well. Actually, I dont have the confidence to handle mental contamination. Moreover, the sacred is also at risk of mental copse due to the demon gods memories and emotions trying to flow in. Isnt there anyone who knows what will happen if the divine also has to deal with it? Crunchy-! I just focused on destroying the divine of the God of Light, and the result came out in a split second. [The God of Light notices that his concept of divinity has almost disappeared and opens his eyes.] [Boo! ] In an instant, the divine extinguished the divine with the assistance of the godhead-exclusive power Pure Death Seeker. Pagagak! Suddenly, the God of Lights body made of divine light turned into ashes, and he died with his eyes wide open without saying a word. Tsutsutsu-. Only one spirit remained at the ce where the God of Light had fallen, and even that disappeared soon. Now that the small pods are gone, lets get started. Then there was only one enemy left. Actually, its something Ive been quite curious about as well. When I turned my head, beyond my vision, I saw a woman covered in a ck robe buried in the abyss. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! Its no different-. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death looks at the God of Darkness and reveals his desire to win.] [I wonder if I will be able to win even against the God of Darkness.] It was the God of Darkness. Chapter 467 467. Fate (4) God of darkness. One of the cosmic lords, the three ancient gods, stood before me. Even if this side had robbed the sacred with the relic Unwavering Faith (EX), the difference in skill between them was by no means small. Of the three ancient gods, I have faced the Demon God and the Dragon God, but both were formidable opponents. It was certain. So the God of Darkness must also have an incredible level of strength, close to that of a Demon God, a Dragon God, or even higher. Demon God and Dragon God. I faced two of the three ancient gods, but none of them were weak or below expectations. Perhaps the God of Darkness standing before us is an unknown being who may be the strongest of the three ancient gods. If you think about how he was overwhelmed by the God of Darkness earlier with his divine supernormal ability without any time to resist, you can guess the approximate level of his strength. Moreover, since this side already had the experience of being unterally defeated by the God of Darkness, they were able to gauge the strength of their opponent to some extent. They probably have many special abilities rted to special moves and survival or defense like the Demon God and the Dragon God. Yes. The three ancient gods had the power to definitely defeat the opponent or prevent a life-threatening crisis like my sacred or divine . The God of Darkness also has not only the divine but also divine supernormal abilities that contain various conceptual supernormal abilities, so there are more than one area to be wary of. You can use Holy since you have entered a new battle phase, but you cannot use abilities like Holy or the skill Final Resistance due to the cooldown time. In other words, if the God of Darkness surprises and uses certain divine supernormal abilities that are close to certain death or death in session, there is a possibility of being helpless. Of course, unlike before, I may have to use some of my strength to forcibly shake it off, but that doesnt mean I can let down my guard. In response, I slowly raised my level of divinity and soul and began to be wary of what moves the opponent would use. Gooooo!! However, this time, unlike before, even if you cast a special move that cannot be avoided with the Holy , Holy , and Holy , you will not be easily defeated because you can aim for a forced destruction with the Holy . Before we fight each other, I have something to ask the Dark God. Knowing that fact, I decided that I had some preparations in ce, so I stared at the god of darkness for a few seconds and burned my lips. Do you think the God of Darkness will stop helping the God of Time and cooperate with me even now? At the very least, it was necessary to check whether there was any hope left in persuading the God of Darkness. The God of Darkness was still buried in the abyss created by the sacred and was not giving any answer, but he had no intention of quitting. As it was, I continued to speak to the God of Darkness, raising my divinity and mana energy to the limit to avoid being surprised by any chance. God of time. We do not know what the ancient godhead promised the dark god. But even so, I dont think theres an absolute reason for him not to join me. With sincerity. Unless the God of Darkness is standing here for some reason that has no choice but to help the God of Time, there may be no need for us to argue. I continued speaking with my emotions clearly visible so that the God of Darkness would not think I was lying. If we dont have different intentions, I think it would be better to achieve what we each want through cooperation rather than fighting like this. But [The God of Darkness answers with a bitter smile as if he is truly sorry.] [ Well. God of Time, if I were to put it in detail, there would be no reason to help that foolish thing. But kid. Apart from that, I cannot agree with you. ] Things in the world did not turn out so easily. Sssss-. The God of Darkness answered as heid his curvaceous body, visible through his ck robe, further into the abyss. [ Oh my. There is no way we can agree on anything, so give up. God of Time My wish will note true if I do not help that foolish opportunist. There is no need to change your mind. ] Before he could ask anything more, he answered preemptively as if he knew what the God of Darkness was curious about. [ okay. You might want to ask me what my purpose is? Is it because this world is a fake world and not a real world? The answer to that part would be half right and half wrong. ] Half of it was right, but half of it was wrong. What does that mean? Before we could even say our question, the God of Darkness gave us an answer again. [Its simple. It just literally means that my will cannot be achieved if I am with you. I want to stand by and watch the glory of the brilliant light reaching the highest heights. It is a position that cannot be given up. ] It was difficult to understand. But still, there was something to be guessed about. In response, I pursed my lips and let out a guess, keeping my mind in doubt. Are you referring to me when you say that you want to stand by and watch the glory of that brilliant light reaching the highest point? But [The God of Darkness nods his head, feeling both amazed and bitter at your cleverness.] [ Hehe. Yes, you are as smart as a child with talent and qualifications that are unprecedented in the entire universe. Thats it. ] It was the correct answer. [From long ago, I have been wandering around looking for the light that would bring brilliance to this boring world. ] Suddenly, the God of Darkness began to lightly reveal his true feelings, which he had never revealed himself. [If you look deeply, light and darkness are like two things. Darkness can exist because there is light. So, I, the darkness born on the other side of brightness, do not deny brilliance. However, no matter where I looked in this universe, there was no brilliant light that would cause upheaval in the entire universe. ] The God of Darkness continued speaking with a rare expression of gloom. [I once wondered if the God of Light, who was born in the same era, could be my brilliant light C but the God of Light could not be my brilliant light. This is because the light governed by his divinity and concept was essentially far from the great brilliance that illuminates the entire universe. ] Slurp slurp-. Every time the God of Darkness uttered a word, the abyss shape made of sacred wriggled and released power. [Because of that, even though I lived for a long time, I could not achieve my wish. Throughout the entire universe, I have seen many children with divine qualities, but they all end up the same. Rather than bing a shining light, it only bes trash full of greed and stubbornness. It didnt meet my expectations. ] . [ God of Time. That stupid thing was no different. The soul of that foolish thing had a natural talent for acquiring the divine concept of time, but the end was very ugly. The talent and qualifications of the soul were buried in ugliness and even the possibility of bing brilliant was lost. ] But youre saying Im different? [Thats right. ] The God of Darkness answered with a bright smile blooming on his face. [Child. God of transcendence and death. You were a gem with a talent and qualifications of soul that I had never seen before. Even if only one of the two concepts of divinity were possessed, each of them had the supernormal abilities of divinity that would enable them to be a gigantic being epassing the entire universe, as the basis of their divinity. I had no choice but to be sure. ] For some reason, her eyes shed an eerie joy and greed beyond the ck robes. [The God of Darkness looks at you and feels uncontroble joy and greed.] [If there is a light that can bring brilliance to this trivial universe, it will most likely be you and no one else. ] Creepily. Does this mean that the God of Darkness was more insane than we thought? When I heard that, I could barely control the goosebumps that appeared all over my body, but I couldnt hide my embarrassment at the story I heard from the other side. [ Ah It may not be visible to the trash, but it was very clear to me. The possibility of developing a concept of divinity was engraved in you from the beginning in your souls talent. No matter what world you were born in, if you found a way to awaken the energy of mana, you would most likely be an ancient god with great power. ] Its no different. [ and thats because the talent of your soul was engraved with the possibility of acquiring the divine that scatters death across the universe and then gathers it back again. ] In fact, it is because they say that I am naturally gifted with the talent of the soul that has no choice but to achieve divine . what? and. I was the one who had no choice but to obtain divine ? That means only one thing. [The God of Darkness has great expectations for you.] [But how on earth can they say that you are not a candidate for ascension after looking at this? ] In fact, it means that even without the Tower of Trials, I am gifted with the natural talent to be an ancient god. *** I was confused. Even thinking to myself, it was not easy to tell whether what I just heard was true or false. Before I knew it, I had a slightly dazed expression on my face, blinking slowly and reying the words I had just heard in my mind. Did you just say that I was born with the destiny to obtain divine ? Did I hear it wrong? [The God of Darkness looks at you and smiles.] [It was my first time. Ive lived for countless years, but Ive never seen a child like you. It is the talent of the soul that will bring about the flowering of the divine . The god of time, that foolish thing, was also born with an unbelievably great spiritual talent, but even that was probably insignificantpared to you. ] It wasnt. What is this? I was dumbfounded. Isnt divinity and divinity the concept of divinity obtained by climbing the Tower of Trials? However, just listening to what the dark god said, it sounded as if this side would have reached this point without the Tower of Trials or anything like that. What happened? It was strange. Before the Tower of Trials appeared, I would have been just one of themon aspiring hunters. If the Tower of Trials hadnt chosen us that day before we despaired and gave up everything, no story would have started. From the beginning, I had the talent of the soul to blossom into the divine This is an unconvincing story. If I had an innate soul talent that could not help but blossom into the divine , I wouldnt have been driven to the edge like that, right? A sense of heterogeneity. If thats true, does that mean that the divine is a power gained thanks to the Tower of Trials, or is it even a divine supernormal ability that came from something I possess? There was no need to press for an answer. [The God of Darkness looks at you with confidence once again.] [Is that all? Divine is also a divine supernormal ability that is in no way inferior to divine . It is also a path created by your life and ego Even if you gather all the gods that exist in the entire universe, I think there is no one that canpare to you. ] Even if this side did not ask questions nervously, the other side came up with the answer on their own. . I tried to say something to the god of darkness, but for some reason my lips couldnt separate. Theres something strange about it. It was bizarre. If the sacred is the power I gained by climbing the Tower of Trials, and the divine is the power I would have gained even if I had not climbed the Tower of Trials, then there are many strange aspects. Why? Why was it that I couldnt obtain divinity before the Tower of Trials appeared and had to be so weak? It was a contradiction. As an enemy who was not selected by the Tower of Trials, not only was it impossible to increase all my abilities due to the aptitude limit of the system, but I was also unable to acquire a single skill. Wouldnt it make sense if this person was born with the fate of acquiring divinity and engraved into their souls due to their natural talent? wait for a sec. As a result, I was able to more urately recall why I could not be stronger without the Tower of Trials. System? system. Before I was selected for the Tower of Trials, it was impossible for me to be stronger in any way due to the aptitude limitations of the system. Wasnt it a minor dimension that wasnt chosen for the Tower of Trials, or was it thew of a world that basically didnt seem to exist in a world like Wulin? Ah. It may not be visible to trash, but it was very clear to me. The possibility of developing a concept of divinity was engraved in you from the beginning in the talent of your soul. No matter which world you were born in, if you found a way to awaken the energy of mana, you would most likely be an ancient god with great power. At that moment, a story from the God of Darkness began to circte wildly in my head, causing me toe up with several strange guesses. In fact, ording to what she said, if only I had found a way to manipte the energy of mana, I would have be much stronger. However, among the great dimensions chosen for the Tower of Trials, whether it was Wulin or a world like Ares, there were many training methods to sharpen the energy of mana. I am. A situation where only the Earth dimension meant that one had to be an awakener and obtain the system in order to refine the energy of mana ording to the aptitude for the system. -Why on earth couldnt I be stronger at all? As I began to instinctively realize what it meant, I forced myself to cut off my thoughts and stretched out my feet forward. Whoops-! If I continued to think deeply about this like this, there was a high possibility that I would get caught up in the other persons intentions and start a fight with a losing psychological battle. I think it would be best to stop talking about useless things here. With my eyes calmly focused, I parted my lips and spoke. -Anyway, doesnt this mean that the God of Darkness has no intention of helping me at all? Even if there are doubts about our ability to obtain divine and divine , it does not change the fact that we must fight the god of darkness. [The God of Darkness shows bitterness at your words, but at the same time affirms them.] [Yes. Child, to me, you are a brilliant light, and that fact does not change even if what is here is not the me of the real world but the me of the fake world. If I could go up with you to the real world up there, I would do whatever it takes. ] In response, I cut off the illusions and thoughts that were spreading polluting my mind like a knife and forged only one thought. Then its as simple as that. and-. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death realizes that negotiations with the other party have broken down and emits murderous intent and hostility.] [ From now on, that side will definitely die as a reward for rejecting this offer.] Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you you you you you you you you you are ! At that moment, I became a living natural disaster, spewing out divinity, mana, and magical energy like a storm, and ran forward viciously. Chapter 468 468. Destiny (5) Wow! In an instant, the sacred was activated, and the energy of the abyss poured out, swallowing all things. It looks like it could easily devour a. When I saw that, I immediately leaned back and activated the sacred and unleashed my power. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! Divinity, magic power, and magical energy were all consumed at the same time, and at the same time, ck blood droplets flowed one by one from the fingertips, and then it overflowed, as if a faucet had been turned on hard. [.] [Skill Blood Seeker is strongly activated.] [Power skill Unquenchable Mortal me is strongly activated.] This is the blood tsunami skill mixed with ck mes that was often used in the past. The power of the divine was increased through the creation of ck magic that was done on the spot. Parts-! Natural talent, which is rare throughout the universe, also applies to the field of ck magic. Not only divine power but also magical energy was infinitely overflowing thanks to the divine , so the strengthening effect through technology modification was stronger than expected. In the blink of an eye, the jet-ck blood sea, created with the skill Fresh Blood Seeker and the power skill Unquenchable Mortal me, disyed its destructive power while imbued with ck magical energy. Twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A level where, rather than being unterally defeated by the sacred , it even pushes back the darkness made up of divinity. As expected, if you have the Holy , you can even fight against the God of Darkness. When I saw that, I was convinced that I was slowly bing dizzy in this space, which was reminiscent of an abyss. Its a matchup worth trying, assuming that the activation time of the sacred does not expire. It was beyond my imagination. The true owner of the divine , one of the three ancient deities, the Demon God also did not use ck magic in a way to strengthen it. This was possible because, with his natural talent, he could easily create high-level ck magic as if he were breathing, thereby increasing the utilization of the divine . [Uses Divine .] [Divine erodes all things ording to the users will.] [It can preside over the death of everything eroded by Divine .] Thats not all. Divine Death> The moment it is activated and the destructive power increases to the upper limit. Kwajangchang! The abyssal tsunami made up of truly divine copsed horribly before the waves of blood filled with jet-ck mes. [The God of Darkness realizes that your power came from the Demon God and expresses confusion.] [For some reason, I was wondering if I could sense the Demon Gods energy from you earlier, but the concept of divinity itself was taken from him.] The God of Darkness spoke as if he noticed something as the sacred was lightly crushed like a sand castle hit by waves on the beach. [Child. Divinity and soul. All of that would beparable to mine if you had the divine , but thats not enough. I am stronger than a demon god. ] However. [I will be spending a very long time with you from now on, so I think it would be good to let you know kindly. ] That too was only for a moment. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! [By activating the sacred , the darkness made of divinity devours the designated target.] [By activating the sacred , the darkness made of divinity contains a certain effect.] [By activating the sacred Activated, the darkness made of divinity seals divinity and magical power] The moment when the activation of the sacred , the sacred , and the sacred urred together, and at the same time, a wave of darkness rushed in right in front of us. [.] [The unique skill Shedding is strongly activated.] [It provides an absolute counter limited to the first strike.] In the blink of an eye, I entered the world of ultra-light speed and used the unique skill Shedding. demonstrated an absolute counter. see. This was possible because, unlike before when I was unable to do anything and was hit by a special move from the God of Darkness, I was able to enter the world at the speed of light. Kkwajiik-! The link between the sacred , the sacred , and the Divine is certain to be a force that is close to critical and deadly, but the story is bound to be different in the face of super-light speed. ! But. Pagagak-! ! It was strange. Originally, the unique skill Shedding provided an absolute counter only to the first blow, which would have had to return the attack to the opponent. In that case, for some reason, the power of the sacred , the sacred , and the sacred did not return to the other party, but only overflowed to the side. What is this When I saw that, I instinctively realized one thing. Could it be that the God of Darkness, like the Demon God, possesses some kind of power corresponding to the transcendental myth ? This means that just like the demon god, the god of darkness standing in front of me also has a bizarre power that disrupts the power of my transcendental myth, . [Because the myth is activated, all energy that touches the darkness made of divinity is forcibly eroded and dispersed.] Is it true It was actually like that. If this is at the level of the three ancient gods, there is no chance of winning without a protective ability like the transcendental myth . To be picky. Then should I think of it like I did when I fought the demon god? Before I knew it, I was reading the system message that appeared in my field of vision and continuing to think about what to do. Even if this side entered the world at the speed of light and fought, there was a clear limit to the duration of activation of the sacred by the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX). In short, it meant that it would be most effective to take advantage of the opportunity before the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) time expired and make a surprise attack by giving up flesh and taking bones like before. It wouldnt be impossible if you could activate the Transcendence Myth like you did with the Demon God and take advantage of the opponents weak spot. and. Its something worth doing. ordingly, the moment when this person finished thinking and ran forward at top speed. Peeeeee-! In an instant, the sacred wasunched at incredible speed, showing very threatening speed even in the world of super-light speed. ! Even though it may not be possible to engage in hand-to-handbat at the same level as a demon god, is it still possible to perceive movement at the speed of light and catch up with the divine ? Perhaps the God of Darkness may not be able to enter the world of super-light speed with his physical abilities, but he can still respond to some extent with his divine Thats okay. It didnt matter. [By activating Divine , we rule out one possibility that could lead to defeat.] As soon as Divine was activated, the momentum of Holy weakened and even began to stir and shake unstablely, as if there was a problem somewhere. Damn it! short time. Before we knew it, the divine had suppressed the exclusion effect of the divine and had begun to move actively in the world of super-light speed again. It is not particrly strange since the imprable ability of the transcendental myth is also partially neutralized by the myth . [The power Sunbo is activated.] [The power has a cooldown of 10 minutes.] [Consumes divine power to immediately move to the desired point within sight.] But that was enough. Chak-. In the blink of an eye, I stood before the god of darkness and activated a unique skill. [.] [The unique skill Sword Zone is strongly activated.] [Predicts the next action of the opponent within the fixed radius.] It is none other than. [.] [Fixed radius Most abilities other than the sword possessed by the being within are sealed.] However, during this time, the user will also be unable to use most abilities other than the sword, and a cooldown will be granted for 7 days from now on.] In the blink of an eye, the user will be unable to use most abilities other than the sword.] The skill Sword Realm is activated, preventing the opponent from using any abilities other than Sword. Tsutsutsu-! At that moment, the sacred written by the God of Darkness also trembled like noise, showing instability, just as it did when it was excluded by the divine . nice. The God of Darkness also seemed to have easily recognized this fact in the world of super-light speed, but apart from surprise, he did not express a sense of crisis. Tsutsutsu! I think its probably because the God of Darkness also realized the power of the unique skill Sword Domain and that this can also be partially offset with the mythology . Excellent. I smiled and felt the tension rising. This is the beginning. The unique skill Sword Area was a power that forced not only oneself but also the opponent to use the sword. It could be said that it was highly unlikely that the God of Darkness would have noticed this. Thats because if you do your best at the level of the three ancient gods, you can fully understand your opponents abilities. Thats why its sharp. Through the exchange of moves just now, I learned that they each use abilities simr in nature to the transcendental myth and the myth . The God of Darkness standing in front of you must have noticed that in the attack and defense just now, the transcendental myth is a defensive ability and that it is difficult to use it as an offensive ability like the myth . So it will work. At best, it was obvious that they would think that they could avoid closebat by somehow escaping from within the unique skill Sword Area and immediately reducing the distance or by pushing themselves away. [The Transcendence Myth is activated.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons movements will be affected by the sacred effect of .] [When activating the Holy , the speed of Superlight may vary depending on the users capabilities. You can perform movements that reach .] [? This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.] [ From now on, the divine effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.] [What is the situation? Even if it is a condition, it bes possible to forcibly activate a specific ability.] [ However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the closer the situation and conditions are, the greater the recoil from use of the effect.] [? The effect is effective immediately after activation . [You will have to pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.] However Isnt that what this side is aiming for? Unlike the overwhelming invulnerable supernormal ability of the transcendental myth , the transcendental myth focuses on thepulsory activation of supernormal ability. They probably cant even imagine that they would use an expedient like this when the number of people is limited. And. [Divine is used.] [It can control the death of everything eroded by Divine .] [Divine is used.] [Challenger Han Seong-yoons The next attack is imbued with the power to consume divinity.] [Divine lives.] [It bes parasitic on objects that touch divinity, absorbs their life force, takes control, and controls it.] Thats what it means. There is one thing I want to do. [The godhead-exclusive power Seeker of Pure Death is activated.] [All beings touched by the sacred are ruined as their life, magic, and divinity are gradually polluted.] [All beings touched by the sacred lose their lives and It takes fixed damage from essential elements that are directly connected to it.] [Any being that touches the sacred can never avoid damage caused by a pure seeker of death.] This side is an opponent that can barely resist with the mythical . Unlike, you can forcibly ignore the ability limitation penalty provided by the unique skill Sword Domain and perform a special move. Puhwaak!! That too for sure. Chapter 469 469. Starting point (1) In an instant, the blood and heavenly demon sword and the broken heavenly sword were swung and mercilessly cut down the god of darkness. ! That too for sure. Puhwaak!! Currently, the unique skill Sword Area has been activated, making it impossible to activate special abilities other than Sword within a certain radius. Patter! ordingly, the God of Darkness had to bleed out loudly as his entire body was cut to pieces by the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword. Unlike me, who can forcibly activate special abilities with the transcendence myth , the God of Darkness can barely resist with the myth . It was worth it. It was a fatal blow that would have made it impossible for him to survive, even though he was one of the three ancient gods and a dark god who had reigned as the ruler of the universe. From the moment the God of Darkness was unable to block it and was hit directly, their positions had no choice but to change dramatically. It also became unusable when it was directly eroded by sacred , sacred , and sacred . In fact, the God of Darkness was in a state where he could not use any powers or abilities, let alone his divine supernormal abilities, within the unique skill Sword Realm. Now the God of Darkness has no skills at all to block future attacks. This means that no matter what power the Dark God has, it is possible to end the game with just one attack. Whi-profit-! As it was, I concentrated all of my abilities around the sacred and quickly delivered the next blow. Kwazijic! In the blink of an eye, the bright red de of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword was shot out unknowingly in the world of super-light speed and pierced her heart. [Uses Divine .] [Divine erodes all things ording to the users will.] [Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine .] And. Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The moment when the divine pours down on the God of Darkness with a power so great that it can destroy a. h h h h h-! [Divine is activated to extract concept divinity from the [God of Darkness].] [Divine is activated to extract concept divinity from the [God of Darkness].] [Divinity This was activated and the concept of divinity was extracted from the [God of Darkness]] In response, I began to shake the divinity itself possessed by the God of Darkness and destroy it with divinity . I won. Ancient deity. They are often said to have achieved conceptual immortality by transforming into divinity itself, but the weakness of their immortality lies in the concept of divinity as well as their strengths. Isnt the reason why it is possible for this side to kill the ancient godhead with sacred is because sacred has the power to destroy the concept of divinity itself? Divinity does not miss the opportunity when the opponents concept of divinity is disturbed. Its not even just that. This side even created a gap by shaking it with divine supernormal abilities such as divine , divine , or divine . In fact, even the God of Darkness, the lord of the universe known as the Three Ancient Gods, could not have had the talent to withstand this deadlybo attack. Kwajijijijijijijijijijijijik! I feel it. Every time this side extracted and brought out the sacred itself of the god of darkness as sacred , the erosion of sacred became more and more severe. It was safe to say that there were only a few minutes left until the divinity of the God of Darkness, , waspletely destroyed and faced death. If I use myself as an extractor like this and disperse the sacred itself, it will be possible to achieve a conclusion in the near future. The God of Light, who had established a hierarchy of divinity just below the three ancient gods, could not resist the killing of the concept of divinity itself. We can do it I had no doubt that there would be no problem with this side using the sacred to kill the God of Darkness. Sigh-! But [The God of Darkness looks at you and smiles faintly.] [ Oh my. Dont you ever feel like everything is going your way? Sometimes, in times like this, its not a bad idea to have doubts. ] A strange thing happened. Jump and jump -. Suddenly, the god of darkness came towards me and hugged me as if he didnt even care about the de of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword that was thrust into my heart. [The God of Darkness smiles, confident of his own victory.] [Perhaps the enemy in front of you has a hidden agenda. ] In the blink of an eye, as her curved bodies came into contact, I felt something squishy and a chill ran down my spine. [ like now. ] Gooooo-! It was strange. Before I knew it, it wasnt like I was deliberately activating my divine supernormal ability. Naturally, the extraction of divinity from the divinity began to elerate, and the other persons concept of divinity itself waspletely obtained. It happened before we could do anything about it, and it was a good thing rather than a bad thing, so we were slow to realize it. what? The God of Darkness almost transferred the sacred itself to me. What is this? I couldnt help but frown and show my confusion. There would be no reason to just hand over the sacred itself to me. For what reason did the God of Darkness obediently hand over her self-like concept of divinity? Its not like we can ovee the crisis by handing over the sacred in this way It was simple. Dont you know that too? For the Godhead, the concept of divinity involves subjective interpretation. For this reason, some of the divine supernormal abilities sometimes have unique abilities that are somewhat distant from the essence of the corresponding concept. The demon god, one of the three ancient deities and who, like the god of darkness, reigned as the lord of the universe, must have behaved simrly. Hmm. Although the concept of divinity, which is the basis of divinity, is no different There is one aspect that is somewhat different from the general concepts of divinity. That is the concept that is the basis of divinity: divinity contains the individual ego. Thats definitely special. shit! Yes. Originally, beings that were considered ancient gods contained their powerful egos entirely in the concept of divinity itself. Because it meant that the God of Darkness also contained her entire self in the sacred , it was onlyter that she was able to realize what this series of events meant. I got hit!! It was a trap. In fact, it means to contaminate my divinity and the concept itself by passing the divinity itself like poison. Only then did I btedly try to send the sacred outward and wipe it out all at once, but I could not. Tsutsutsu-! [Hehe. Still, it seems like you realized, albeit btedly, what my intention was for transferring the concept of divinity. ] The God of Darkness was tightly holding the sacred so that it could no longer escape from this body. [I was worried. ] In response, I hurriedly tried to drive out the divine with divine . [How on earth can I spend a time of splendid glory with a vessel of ascension like you? ] But I couldnt do that. Pasasak-. Rather, the divine was being swallowed up by the divine . [No matter what happens, I searched for a way for you and I to be together, and after thinking about it, I was able toe to one conclusion. ] Before I knew it, I felt that my hands and feet were getting cold and my consciousness was slowly starting to fade. [look forward to it. ] and. [The God of Darkness shows a strong possessive desire for you.] [Lets be one from now on. ] The next moment. Huuuung! My consciousness sank into deep darkness. *** Swirl. In the infinite ck universe, where there is no such thing as heaven and earth, only vortices existed. At the center of the numerous whirlpools, small swords were glowing softly, and each one had a brilliant golden light and a majestic jet ck light. Goooo! Its not even just that. The countless whirlpools were all spinning extremely fiercely, each immersed in brilliant golden light and majestic jet ck light. As the countless vortices rotated several times, something like starlight of various colors shined brightly around them. Ok. . When I saw that, I stayed silent as I stood in the empty space where nothing existed. This cant be This is because the universe full of vortices that seemed somehow unfamiliar yet familiar was andscape of an imaginary world that I had seen once. Is this perhaps my imaginary world? While climbing the 11th floor of the Tower of Trials, I entered one of the temples of the God of Proof and was faced with a world of my own imagination. It seems like a lot has changed from the world I imagined before Dan-. It wasnt the same as back then. Unlike in the past, the universe that became the background of the world of images no longer felt so small, but glowed with infinity, and the vortex that became the symbol of the world of images scattered brilliant golden light and majestic jet ck light. Moreover, in the universe of the imaginary world, a strange-looking phenomenon was urring in which various star lights twinkled as each vortex rotated. Well, there are a lot of differences between the person I was before and the person I am now. It was strange. It is not enough to realize that you have be stronger than before. I could guess what the infinite universe, which is the background of the world of images, as well as the brilliant golden light and majestic jet-ck whirlpools within it meant. I think the world of imagery has been greatly influenced by my conceptual divinity. I thought that the whirlpools were iming that this side had reached the level of ancient godhood by mastering the divine and the divine . Whenever the whirlpools in the world of imagination rotate, the sparkling starlight of various colors also symbolizes the divine abilities obtained through necromancy. It was amazing. I cant believe I, a mortal who was busy getting a little stronger in a temple ruled by a mere god of proof, came this far. However, despite this, I knew that I was not in a position to enjoy the scenery in the world of imagination in depth. Then its obvious what they mean. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! In the universe of the world of images, there is darkness here and there that eats away not only the vortex but also the starlight. I think Im starting to understand what you meant by what you said to me earlier. When I realized what it was, I walked out into the deepest darkness and spoke to someone. By transferring the concept of divinity itself, the world of images that cannot be mixed is bing one, so we can no longer pretend not to know. and. Ttogak ttogak-. ordingly, the moment when the god of darkness, wearing a gorgeous ck dress, walked out of his abyss from beyond the universe in the world of images. Is it for this reason that you even cooperated with the God of Time in the first ce? Looking at the god of darkness who had suddenly appeared in front of me, I frowned and spit out words that urately pointed out the other persons intentions. God of darkness. Its none other than. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death frowns as if he is dumbfounded by this unexpected situation.] [Youre trying to blend into my imaginary world and go to the real world together. ] God of darkness. The move the leader of the universe, known as one of the three ancient gods, made to go to the real world was more absurd than anyone could have imagined. By handing over the sacred , she wanted to hide in the world of images and eventually go beyond the Tower of Trials with me. Chapter 470 470. Starting point (2) The world of images. It was obvious why I entered a mental space I had never been to except once, when desperately climbing the Tower of Trials. I was trapped in a world of images,pletely unrted to my intentions, by the god of darkness standing before my eyes. Its unclear why the God of Darkness almost forcibly handed over his divine to me and at the same time was dragged into the world of images. Now I had to figure out why I was trapped in the world of images. For the ancient godhead, concept divinity is the ego itself, and the world of images is a mental space, so concept divinity and concept divinity collide and their image worlds are mixed. If we are to be more specific, should we say that it is the aftermath of a collision between concept divinity and concept divinity? Isnt it possible to say that the divinity is a personality that embodies the very existence of the God of Darkness? Because this side epted it without any filtering process, the world of each persons images engraved in the concept of divinity became mixed like this. There is a high possibility that the unknown darkness seeping into various parts of the world of images is a phenomenon caused by the sh of concept divinity. It was certain. Darkness appears sparsely in an image world with a space-like background, as if there is noise somewhere. Not only that, darkness was slowly seeping into the brilliant golden light and majestic jet-ck whirlpools that filled the space-like image world like decorations. The worlds of each others images merge into one. Its definitely different from when the Demon God tried to forcibly pollute my mind with the sacred earlier. At that, I couldnt help but click my tongue and frown. Even when the sacred was forcibly obtained, there was an attempt by the Demon God to pollute ones mind Nevertheless, the world of each others images has never been so mixed as it is now, right? There was a high possibility that the God of Darkness was like this because he had some special intention rather than purely trying to win the match through mental contamination like the Demon God. Rather, unlike the Demon God, the God of Darknesspletely handed over ownership of the sacred to me, causing the world of images to be mixed up. I had already figured out why the God of Darkness sought the conflict and unity of the world of images by transferring his divine to this side. By handing over the concept of divinity, which is the basis of godhood, without filtering, we will unite each others world of images and thereby go to the real world. I narrowed my eyes and looked at the god of darkness beyond. handed it over. Are you out of your mind? It was absurd. In fact, what the God of Darkness did was tantamount to throwing away his own life like stubble in order to go to the real world. If he escapes from this world of images in the future, the God of Darkness will lose all the divinity and mana power he has umted over a long period of time. Turp, plod, trudge -. But [The God of Darkness looks at you and smiles.] [Hehe. It may seem crazy to you, child, but there was no better way for me. ] The God of Darkness walked lightly as if he had no regrets and answered with a bright smile. [Image world. By inserting and hiding my own ego as the sacred within it, you and I be one with each other and ascend together to the real world. That was the only option for me to watch the brilliant light that is you. ] Unlike in the real world, she yfully walked her steps, fluttering a gorgeous ck dress instead of a ck robe. [Child. From the beginning, things like winning werent that important. It was just a story about whether or not I could forcefully hand over my divinity to you. And somehow, I was lucky enough to achieve what I wanted even though I didnt win the match. ] Perhaps the God of Darkness was victorious after a life-or-death battle, but he still tried to forcibly hand over the sacred to this side From the beginning, the God of Darkness was in collusion with the God of Time and the like. So it wasnt like I was giving any strength. At this point, you cant help but notice. Its just because being next to the God of Time has a greater chance of finding the perfect timing to engrave the divine on me. The fact is that the God of Darkness standing before my eyes had already entered the fight with this intention a long time ago. Isnt it? That was actually the case. [The God of Darkness nods, showing satisfaction with your insight.] [Hehe. Thats amazing, kid. God of Time That worthless thing deserved to be called the Seed of Ascension. Thats the correct answer. ] After hearing what this person said, the God of Darkness immediately expressed his approval without any hesitation. [ okay. Child, just as you said, I never even thought about lending my power to the God of Time from the beginning. It was a truly sessful y. ] I couldnt understand it at all. Why on earth does the God of Darkness cling to me so much, saying he wants to see the brilliant light with me? Of the three ancient deities, this was the one who bestowed their favor with the least understood motive, so curiosity arose like crazy, but it was only temporary. Are you aware of what you have done? It was natural. I have no intention of letting it be a reality by mixing with my imaginary world and ascending to the real world, but you know that it would be a big deal even if that were to happen. Isnt that right? The ancient godhead is transformed into divinity itself and bes immortal as a concept that exists in the universe. If the god of darkness attaches himself to my imaginary world and goes to the real world, an uncontroble emergency could ur. However, because the ancient godhead became a concept that exists in the universe through the power of divinity, there cannot be two beings with the same definition of the concept of divinity. Its no different But Isnt it a simple story? Do you know what would happen if that person were to sneak into my mental world and end up in the real world? This person had experienced many different things while climbing the Tower of Trials. In a ce called the Battlefield of the Gods created by the Tower of Trials, havent you ever fought with someone who is said to be the God of Victory, who is an imitation of the divinity that this side possesses? At that time, the God of Victory almostpletely copied the very concept of sacred thanks to the power given by the Tower of Trials, but in the end, it could only end up being a fake and not the real thing. From the moment that side melts into my imaginary world and ascends to the real world, two gods of darkness exist in one universe. This is because the divine supernormal ability given to the God of Victory by the Tower of Trials had the exact same meaning as the divine , and was deteriorated due to the contradiction in its existence. If twopletely identical concepts of divinity exist in one universe, one of them will be defined as real and the other will be defined as fake. At least when the God of Victory received the divine supernormal power, a replica of the divine , from the Tower of Trials, it was determined that this was the original and that was the replica, so the story did not beplicated, but this is apletely different level from thest time. Isnt it? That is And. God of darkness. That means only one thing. If one of the two does not disappear, in the worst case, there is a possibility that both concepts will copse and disappear together. That is, the original dark god who exists outside the Tower of Trials may die. *** Absolutely. Although it is only a coincidence, the worst thing that could possiblye true would be the extinction of the original God of Darkness. It was not a good thing that the original God of Darkness was destroyed by the God of Darkness who was merely a replica created in the Tower of Trials. But there are also more serious cases than that. Moreover, the worst case scenario in which the original God of Darkness beyond the Tower of Trials and the Replica God of Darkness standing in front of him were destroyed together was not very likely toe true. Neither of them can survive and the existence of the God of Darkness may disappear. If so, its obvious what will happen then. If the God of Darkness, one of the three ancient gods, disappears, the bnce of power will be broken. Her death will soon cause trouble because one of the overwhelming powers that can keep the transcendent structure called the Tower of Trials in check is the God of Darkness. There is a possibility that within the pantheon, ancient gods other than the dark god, demon god, and dragon god may take advantage of the confusion to speak out. If that were not enough, even in the pantheon opposite to the Tower of Trials, ancient gods who were hostile to this side could step forward andmit hostile acts in earnest. That one thing has to be prevented at all costs. This was undesirable because it could mean that this side would not be able to secure even the minimum amount of time to be stronger in the Tower of Trials. Even if thats not the case, I owe a lot to the original dark god. Thats not all. As I climbed the Tower of Trials, didnt I receive tremendous favor from the three ancient gods? I also had some favorable feelings toward the God of Darkness, one of the three ancient gods. Either way, we cant take the possibility that the original Dark God could die. I couldnt let that dark god, who was just a replica standing in front of me, kill the original dark god. Wow-. However The ideal direction would be for them to change their minds even now after hearing what I said. Unfortunately. But it will be difficult. Persuasion is close to impossible. [ The God of Darkness listens to what you said and responds with a grin on his face.] [What do you mean by that? ] The God of Darkness did not show any special sign after hearing what I said. [Even if the death of the me existing in the real world can ur, isnt the me in the real world a different entity from me here? ] She did not consider the dark god beyond the Tower of Trials to be the same person as herself. [ On the other hand, if time passes like this, I in the fake world rather than the real world will disappear like a mirage like a sand castle in front of the waves. In that case, it would be better to take a gamble and risk your own life. ] Sze-. [ so. ] The God of Darkness stretched out his right arm forward with a smile on his beautiful face hidden by his ck robe. [The God of Darkness is confident of his own victory.] [Now lets not waste any more time and be one and go beyond. ] Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! In an instant, darkness of indescribable depth began to overflow throughout the universe in the world of images. The memories and emotions of the god of darkness itself, which resides in the sacred , overflow into the mental space. Unlike the real world, the world of images was a ce where people had to fight not with actual strength, but with the strength of each others minds and spirits as weapons. [The Dark God takes pity on you.] [Child. It may be a truly unfortunate story, but you have no choice. Unlike in the real world, in the world of imagination, the weight of time bes so great that it cannot be ignored In the end, my victory is virtually guaranteed. ] The God of Darkness also knew that fact, so he expressed some sympathy and said so. [Ahdont worry. My child, I will do my best to end this story so that you do not feel any pain. ] Memories and emotions. [If you just close your eyes for a moment and open them, everything will be over. ] The moment when the life trajectory of the god of darkness itself is projected into the sacred and covers more than half of the world of images. [So now lets be one and meet againter and talk. ] At the moment when the God of Darkness said that as if he was going to end this match, I answered in a cold voice. no. Before I knew it, I was staring at the waves of darkness filling up the universe in my mental world and stretched out my right arm forward. That wont happen. chuck-. I also became convinced after talking with them. I have no intention of losing the match like this, as the God of Darkness wants. I will win, not you. However, the God of Darkness seemed to have sensed what he said as an unreasonable repulsion and answered with a smile. [The God of Darknessughs lightly and expresses regret at what you said.] [Really? It may be admirable not to lose the will to fight even in the face of an overwhelming difference in power, but that is impossible. ] Its as if this person is dreaming of a fantasy story that will nevere true. [ You may not know it in the real world, but in the world of imagination, those with a heavier weight of time have stronger minds. ] Except. Well, I dont know. In reality, that wasnt the case. Why on earth ispetition in the world of images structured as a contest of mental strength? The core of the world of images does not consist of mental power for beings who have be ancient deities and have engraved their egos into the concept of divinity itself. If you became an ancient god and used the concept of divinity itself as a vessel for your mind, the yardstick for judging mental strength would also be different from when you were mortal. Therefore, the ability of two ancient deities to influence each others sess in the world of images depended on the concept of divinity rather than on something vague like mental power. For the ancient godhead, if the concept of divinity is the reference point of the self, then mental strength is bound to change ordingly. and. You might have engraved your ego into only the sacred , but I am different from you. Next moment. Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! In the blink of an eye, the golden and jet-ck vortices scattered throughout the universe in the world of images began to spin like crazy, driving out the darkness itself. [ ! ] I used my own ego, which I had engraved as the basis of divinity in the Divine and the Divine , as a weapon to prevent the erosion of the other persons mind. Did you say it was an overwhelming difference in power? That means only one thing. [The gods of transcendence and death smile wryly, feeling satisfied.] [Then which side should feel the overwhelming difference in power now?] Victory was confirmed. Chapter 471 471. Starting point (3) In an instant, the power of divine and divine rushed into the world of images. Goooo! The moment when the supernormal abilities of the two divine beings began to drive out the darkness in the space of the mental world that looked like the universe. [The God of Darkness feels embarrassed and grits his teeth.] [ Tsk!! ] The God of Darkness, unlike before, looked more urgent and used the sacred to fight in the world of images. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! It was worth it. If the game in the world of imagination continues like this, it is almost certain that I will win without any surprises. At first, that side may have had the upper hand, but now this side was able to push back with an overwhelming victory. I tried to resist. In response, with a cold smile on my lips, I fiercely exhaled the power of divine and divine . The most the God of Darkness can do right now is bide his time, right? The direction of the game was decided. Well, if you purely consider the amount of time they have umted as an ancient deity, that side would have an overwhelming advantage That is also very certain. Thats not important. The game in the world of images is bound to be determined by the level and amount of divinity, the concept that forms the basis of the ancient gods. In any case, the match in the world of imagination between ancient gods is not decided by something vague such as the size of time or mental strength. If it had been a contest in the imaginary world of beings who were not originally ancient deities but higher deities or formal deities, the story might have been a little different. This is because there are cases where higher-level deities or formal deities do notpletely dissolve their own consciousness into the concept of divinity, which is the basis of deity, but stop at the level of mixing it up. However, all ancient deities, without exception, regard divinity, the concept that is the basis of the deity, as their consciousness, so the concept that is the basis of the deity, divinity, symbolizes the self. The world of images is a mental space, so the power of the divine concept that contains consciousness itself is the main factor that determines victory or defeat. Doesnt that mean only one thing? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The moment when the power of the divine and the divine expelled all the supernormal abilities of the divine from the image world with a cosmic background, leaving not even a single trace of it. I dont think theres any need for us to botherpeting with each other anymore. Just like that, I looked at the God of Darkness, who was sitting helplessly with his messed up face, and spoke calmly with my lips. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death deres victory in a confident voice.] [ I won. ] It was truly an overwhelming victory. *** God of darkness. The three ancient deities, known as the lords of the universe, were lying down with a devastated look on their faces, unlike before. Her gorgeous ck dress was torn in several ces, and her visible body also had many injuries. Is he incapable ofbat? When I saw that, I narrowed my eyes and felt that the other side would not be able to fight anymore. Well, the scars inflicted by the God of Darkness in the world of images do not necessarily carry over to the real world In fact, the God of Darkness is almost dying even in the real world, just like in the world of images. Even if they didnt give up and attacked me again, nothing would change. Even if he is one of the three ancient gods and a powerful being called the lord of the universe, there is nothing he can do in the face of the overwhelming difference in weight ss. This is because, unlike the God of Darkness, who at most only ssifies the divine as the conscious body, I take the divine and the divine as the conscious body. No matter how many times the God of Darkness attacks from now on, the result will not change. In other words, unless this side intentionally loses to the God of Darkness, the oue of the game will not change no matter what happens. widely-. The God of Darkness didnt struggle anymore, as if he didnt think he could win any longer. She just shows embarrassment, as if she had never imagined that something would happen like this, entrusting herself to the space of an imaginary world. Its not strange. I guess I didnt expect how the match between ancient gods would take ce in the world of imagination. It is not verymon for beings who are considered ancient gods toe to the world of images and fight each other, and it is difficult to imagine a being like me who has not one but two divinity, the concept that forms the basis of godhood. Do you have anyst words for me? [ . ] Theres nothing I cant do to hear your will. [Hehehe.] As she looked down at the God of Darkness and spoke to her like that, sheughed in a strange tone that seemed to be a mixture of absurdity and resentment. [The God of Darknessughs as if he is dumbfounded.] [ Ah. I cant believe that bringing you into the world of images was a wrong decision in the first ce. Thats sad. ] Her face was clearly exposed, unlike when it was hidden by a ck robe. An unrealistically beautiful statue-like appearance created by a renowned sculptor who put all his effort into creating it. It was surprising that the God of Darkness had not easily taken off his ck robe so far, so there was no time to look closely. [Ironic, right? ] But even for a moment. [What I sincerely want always ends up slipping away without being attainable. ] Even though I saw the God of Darkness without his ck robe for the first time, it was only a surprise. Before I knew it, I was concentrating on the words the God of Darkness left behind at the end. Even if she is the God of Darkness of the fake world and not the real world, the fact remains that she is also the God of Darkness. In that case, shouldnt we at least listen to what the dark god has to say? [ To have to face such an end while leaving the only perfect vessel for the ascendant in the entire universe ] The God of Darkness spoke in a sorrowful voice that I had never heard before, with his eyes dimly open. He continued. [Hehe. I thought I had chosen the best move to go up to the real world with you but that wasnt the case. ] Sadly. [How much time will have to pass before you reach the day of Ascension? Maybe, I dont know, but it wont take that long. ] . [ I. I dont regret my death. Its just a shame that I have to leave without being able to witness the birth of the brilliant light that will bring about a wind of upheaval throughout the universe. Thats all. ] Is that so. It wasnt something I could sympathize with. In fact, whether they are gods of darkness, demons, or dragon gods, they are not people who operate with a way of thinking that I can sympathize with. This is because all three ancient gods deviated from the general way of thinking and pursued something iprehensible. . Dan. Im sorry. I wondered if the three ancient deities also had their own difficulties. Moreover, arent they all like benefactors who have shown me one-sided favor? Because of that, I couldnt really sympathize, but I felt a slight sense of guilt and told the dark god what I had to say. I have no intention of asking you toe with me to the real world even if you die here. [ . ] If I go up there with you, the god of darkness in the real world may disappear. [Is that so? ] yes. The God of Darkness answered with a bitter smile. [That really makes me jealous. ] The corners of her mouth were filled with emptiness. [ But I dont feel too bad. ] It was then. [ You said you would listen to at least one will, right? ] The God of Darkness raised his right hand with difficulty and collected something like ck water droplets with his fingertips. Tsutsutsu-. When I saw it, I couldnt help but instinctively understand what it was as an ancient deity in a split second. This Its no different -. Is it a fragment of divinity? It was a power that was close to a fragment of the divine , materialized in the world of images and handed over. If we were to be honest, should we say that it is something closer to a memory or emotion rather than containing the power of the sacred ? In fact, when the dark god handed me that fragment of divinity, it was no different from entrusting him with his will. [The God of Darkness asks you a favor.] [ Can you please pass this on to me in the real world up there? ] Although it is said to contain the power of sacred , it is not particrly great. At best, it seems like all you can do is temporarily embody the power of the sacred and deal with it. It is an absurdly weak power to blend into this world of images and take away the initiative of the body or to n something. Tuk-. Just like that, I epted the ck drop of water hanging from the tip of the finger held out by the God of Darkness and answered. I will. and. [The Dark God closes his eyes, feeling grateful to you.] [Thank you. ] ordingly, the moment when the God of Darkness smiled as if he was relieved and at the same time closed his eyes. Knock-. The world of images copsed and my vision went dark. *** Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! . The real world. dump-. The God of Darkness no longer made any movements. Its just that her body falls backwards as if it cant hold on any longer and begins to turn into ash and disappear. I smiled bitterly when I realized that this was a extinction phenomenon that urred because the ancient godhead lost the concept of divinity, which was the basis of the godhead. Tsutsutsu-! The God of Darkness also had a ghost, but could not absorb it through necromancy due to the penalty imposed by the Tower of Trials. p! In response, I held the blood and heavenly demon sword and the broken heavenly sword as lead swords and watched as this space made of sacred was rapidly copsing. Because the God of Darkness has died, this space created by the divine is also disappearing. Just like that, I went down there, holding the dragon god who was sleeping soundly in this space made of sacred . Chak-. In an instant, as itnded on the ground, this space made of sacred alsopletely copsed and disappeared, scattering only fragments. Kwajangchang! In response, I quietly stretched out my right hand amidst the fragments of darkness falling like raindrops. Before I knew it, in my outstretched right hand, there was a sacred fragment containing the supernormal ability of the divine , like a ck water drop. The God of Darkness, one of the three ancient gods, had personally extracted his memories and emotions and entrusted them to me. Its finally over. The fierce battle was nearing its end with the death of the Dark God and the Demon God among the three ancient gods. Isnt the God of Light, one of the helpers brought by the God of Time, also retired? It is no exaggeration to say that now there is only one thing left to do. At that, I looked up into the sky with my eyes wide open, then lightly stretched my legs and jumped. Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As it quickly rose into the sky, a corresponding shock wave and roar rang out. However, despite this, I didnt really care, and afternding in the air with the trick of jumping into the air, I looked around. As expected, there was a floating temple-like structure, close to something on the verge of bing a sacred realm, which appears to have been created by the God of Time. There it is. That was the moment when I calmly gave strength to my legs again, confident that there was a god of time over there. . Just like that, I was able to easily arrive at a temple that appeared to be on the verge of bing a sacred realm in a gray, super-light world. Tjooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!! Well, perhaps because itnded with great physical force on a temple just before it became a sacred area, an unfortunate incident urred where the entire roof of the temple copsed, but it is nothing to worry about. There it is. Before I knew it, I was standing on top of a pir of the temple and smiled when I saw an ancient deity who looked like an old man standing inside the temple. [The Lord of Time looks at you and widens his eyes in disbelief.] [Chuckling! Seed of Ascension? What on earth is this!! How could youe all the way here!? ] Its no different. Hey. [ . ] Goooooooooooooooooo!! [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death exudes very strong murderous intent and anger.] [Its been a while?] Now is the time when we can kill the God of Time with peace of mind. Chapter 472 472. Starting point (4) Goooooooooooooo!! The energy of divinity, mana, and magical energy rushed like a storm and filled the sky. The concept of divinity , divinity , and divinity are the basis of divinity, and have established themselves as divinity. Even if it were only a momentary miracle, I now possess a power that none of the three ancient gods can match. Duddud!! Is that why? Knock-! As the energy of divinity, mana, and demonic energy was released, the surrounding space and time became distorted, and the God of Time also groaned in pain. [The God of Time feels pain from your divinity, mana, and magical energy.] [Ugh!! ] Its not even just that. Since the sacred realm created by the God of Time is no different from an unfinished building, it would be difficult to have resistance to external energy. As this side radiated divinity, mana, and magical energy, the huge temple unintentionally cracked open with an ominous sound. Thats strange But that was just for a moment. hey. At that, I narrowed my eyes and continued speaking with a sneer on my lips. Its been a while? and. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death frowns and shows displeasure.] [Youre not answering? ] The next moment. Kugu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu !! The power of divinity, mana, and magic energy emitted an overwhelming pressure centered around where the God of Time stood. Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Of course, the God of Time also had to erupt his divine power in response to this one emitting the power of divinity, mana, and magical energy. [The God of Time resists by radiating divine power from his entire body.] [ Ugh!! Seed of Ascension, dont you look down on me too much? This is ridiculous!! ] It could be said that the God of Time unleashing the divine power he had umted as an ancient god with all his might was not a bad countermeasure. [I may not be at the level of the three ancient gods, but if I were also an ancient god, there was no way I would give in to that level of spatial pressure!! ] Its just. blood-. is it at that level? The only problem was that it was a countermeasure against me, who had murdered two of the three ancient gods. Then it wouldnt be a bad idea to experience for yourself what level it is. In response, I generously unleashed the power of divinity, mana, and magical energy and concentrated it on the God of Time. Jijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji! In an instant, the space where the God of Time stood was lightly crushed, like a cookie crushed by a heavy object. [Ugh! ] The God of Time could no longer stand properly on the temple that seemed to have been built with divine power, and bent down as if he had fallen. dump-! [The Lord of Time is astonished when he realizes that your power is beyond imagination.] [What is this!! ] At this point, even the huge temple that appears to be a type of sacred realm created by the God of Time is slowly losing its shape, as if it can no longer endure. you. Considering that you told me just a moment ago that there was no way you would give in to that level of spatial pressure, arent you bowing down too easily? When I saw that, I could no longer hold back theughter rising inside me and let out a sneer. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Deathughs at the others arrogance.] [Well. I think this level is just right for someone like you. God of time. ] However there was no response from the other side. Unlike before, the God of Time could not even respond to what this person said and justy down, groaning in pain. While the God of Time was barely able to muster up the strength to not fallpletely to the floor of the temple, he let out a voice filled with embarrassment as if he had realized something. [The God of Time opens his eyes wide and shouts in disbelief.] [How on earth did this happen!! How can he be so strong in such a short period of time? How did you get here? How did this all happen!! ] Even under tremendous pressure, the God of Time could not hide his astonishment and continued speaking. [Isnt this nonsense!! Obviously, you were almost dying down there not long ago! How was it possible toe here safely when even the demon god joined in!! ] After hearing those words, I narrowed my eyes and noticed a new fact. Does the fact that the God of Time knew that the Demon God came mean that he was watching what was happening down here just a moment ago? Perhaps the God of Time had been observing this area to some extent after building a temple high in the sky that appeared to be a type of sacred realm It looks like they are intent on covering it with the sacred realm. It didnt seem like they had looked closely at how this side gained strength in the fight against the demon god. Well, even if I knew I had defeated the Demon God, its hard to think that the Time God could have changed anything. And perhaps because of that, the God of Time expressed such passionate emotions that at first nce he seemed to have lost his mind. [The God of Time grits his teeth as he looks at you.] [Not yet! Nothing is over yet!! In the next few minutes, everything will change!! ] The God of Time did not admit his own defeat, as if he had some secret secret left. [ Of the three ancient gods, two are on my side, and even though they are lower level, the God of Light also shares the same will!! ] But. [I dont know how on earth they managed to defeat two of the three ancient gods and get here, but help will arrive in a few minutes!! ] Was my guess wrong? Support? For some reason, the answer was different from what I had expected, so I felt like sighing. Well Of course it was. It would be best not to expect anything like that. [ what? ] The reinforcements you are anxiously waiting for will not arrive even if you wait for several minutes. [What on earth is that] Its no different-. I asked how on earth you were able to defeat two of the three ancient gods ande this far? Two of the three ancient gods have died, and the God of Light has long since retired and disappeared. Its simple. In other words. Now there are no more enemies left in this world who can stop me. In fact, it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive as the God of Time wishes. [The Demon God of Transcendence and Death sneers at the opponent full of hopeful optimism.] [Because I killed every single enemy that stood in my way. ] never. *** God of time. Idama, a rare case of ancient deity who possesses divine a being whose power was not that strongpared to the powers other than the standards known as the lords of the universe, such as the three ancient deities. In fact, the God of Time himself knows this well, so he recruited powerful people such as the God of Darkness and the God of Light and brought them in. Even if this side had not been able to rob the sacred by using the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX), I wonder if they would have seeded in killing at least one God of Time. [ . ] Is that why? [They all died? ] The God of Time spoke in a muttering manner, unable to focus his eyes. [The God of Time grits his teeth, denying what you said.] [No!! Its a lie!! That cant be possible! Theres no way those monsters could have died so easily!! yes? Right? Go ahead and say so! ] It almost looks like a crazy person is unable to ept reality and is going on a rampage. [Two of the three ancient gods were down there! Even if, by some chance, they had defeated each other instead of working together, it was impossible to kill them both in session, and there was even a god of light!! Something that went against the grain cannot be exined without lying. ] That too was only for a moment. okay? Landing C I cut off the gibberish story the God of Time was spouting andnded down from the top of the pir of the huge temple. Then lets say everything I said was a lie, as they im. [ what? ] Im just making this suggestion because I think it would be better to show it in person rather than exin it in detail. [ . ] Lets see if reinforcementse. Standing before the God of Time, I spoke with a smile on my face. why? You said with your own mouth that everything I said was a lie, right? Just wait until someonees, whether its a dark god, a demon god, or a light god. And very kindly. Unlike you, I can wait as long as I want. I meant it. Well, the activation time of the divine that was usurped with the sacred relic Unwavering Faith (EX) ising to an end. Anyway, the God of Time can be killed with just the divine supernormal power it possesses. Isnt it an opponent? Theres no way Ill lose. It would be okay if the god of time gave him a little grace time to understand and understand his situation. [ . ] But [The God of Time is shocked to realize that what you said is the truth without a single lie.] [ Its true? ] On the contrary, this side came out so confidently that even the God of Time seemed to realize what the truth was. No matter how much time he waits, reinforcements never arrive. In short, it meant that the God of Time had no choice but to be killed by me in the end. Perhaps because of that, the God of Time burst outughing as if he had lost his mind, and then hung his body as if he had given up. [The God of Time despairs that his fate has not changed.] [Tsk tsk. Yes. In the end, it all means it was all in vain. Does it mean that no one like me could change the fixed fate? Its devastating. ] Zech. When I saw that, I stopped emitting divinity, mana, and magical energy and looked at the God of Time. Before I kill you, there are a few things I want to ask you. Do you care to answer them? Because I was curious. ording to what the original God of Proof said, the God of Time must be a being who can predict the future using divine supernormal abilities. Thats why I wanted to hear the answer as to why he calls me by the nickname Seed of Ascension. [ under. The seed of ascension, so great, is asking questions about people like me. Thats a great honor. It doesnt really matter, so just do it. ] Well, it was a bit annoying that the God of Time used harsh words, but it wouldnt be easy to say kind words if you knew that you were destined to die soon. Well, its not like I cant understand it. I nodded to what the God of Time said and asked a question to answer my curiosity. Im curious as to why they call me Seed of Ascension. [ Pfft. Are you curious about something like that? You probably know why anyway, right? This is ridiculous. ] Well, if I really have to ask, I want to hear the essential reason why you called me the seed of ascension. [An essential opportunity? ] okay. As the god of time, you can use future prediction through your divine supernormal ability, right? Thats probably why they call me the seed of ascension. [ In other words, you are wondering what I saw with my future prediction that gave me the nickname Seed of Ascension. ] yes? The God of Time narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and answered reluctantly. [ At that time, I observed the ending of a world full of lies. The end of everything. All the gods that existed in the War of Gods disappeared, leaving behind only fragments of divinity and soul. I just saw you in it. ] The ending of the world. I thought perhaps what the God of Time saw was the end of the stage created by the Tower of Trials. The war of the gods was destined to end in extinction without leaving a single survivor. [ there was a fight to the death with a transcendent being. I saw a being that was plotting the fate of the world and creating itsws. You seeded in killing that transcendent being. After that, the world came to an end and disappeared. ] But isnt the story strange? A life-and-death struggle with a transcendent being? It was an ambiguous designation that did not refer to any one of the three ancient deities. A being that maniptes the fate of the world and creates thews of the world Well, since the three powerful ancient gods are cosmic beings, it is not impossible to express them like that. Still, doubts existed. Did you call it the seed of ascension because I was the one who won the battle against that transcendent being? The God of Time did not call it the seed of ascension after looking at one of our myths, . [ okay. You After winning victory over that transcendent being, you entered the path of ascension at the end of the world. Thats why I call you the Seed of Ascension and just sense that you are destined to be a transcendent someday. ] It was a little strange. Could it be that what the God of Time saw was some kind of turning point? Even when I was climbing the Tower of Trials, the God of Proof showed me the future, but it ended without actuallying true, so there was nothing strange about it. Well, if the war of the gods had proceeded without any incidents, does this mean that a life-and-death struggle with a transcendent being could have urred? Of course, the future prediction by the God of Time is just a turning point, so its probably not worth worrying about. Thats it then. Just like that, I looked down at the God of Time while holding the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword in both hands and spoke coldly. Its goodbye. [ . ] The God of Time, who saw that, no longer resisted, closed his eyes and calmly epted his ending. [ In the end, was it all just a midday dream? Isnt it permissible to even try to wake up from a dream on your own? Trapped in a dream from which I can never wake up, I remain as an insignificant fragment of a dream. ] That was the moment when we struck the divine with a mixture of various divine supernormal abilities and divine power-specific powers. ! In the blink of an eye, the power of the divine resonated in all directions, ultimately destroying the very concept of divinity possessed by the God of Time. Pagagak-. Next moment. Twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa special The huge temple itself, which appeared to be a type of sacred realm created by the God of Time,pletely copsed and lost its shape. Sararak-. Only fragments of divinity and soul disappear somewhere. . Just like that, I saw fragments of divinity scattering from the sky as they fell to the distant earth. I had an intuition among the pieces of divine power that slowly fell to the ground like snowkes on a winter day. This means that the war of the gods has lost the driving force to continue. In other words. The 36th floor trial begins. Remaining time C 1 year Condition for passing the trial C Surviving until the end of the War of the Gods Condition for failing the trial C Death of the challenger or end of remaining time Reward for passing the trial C Penalty for failing the trial C Death Before you know it, you are on the 36th floor of the Tower of Trials. The time hase to end the ordeal. Chapter 473 473. Starting point (5) The content provided by the Tower of Trials as a condition for clearing the 36th floor trial was not that difficult. If we are to be honest, should we say that there is no need to worry about other factors besides survival? In fact, if this side had not been actively involved in the war of gods, clearing the trial itself might have been very easy. The 36th floor trial begins. Remaining time C 1 year Condition for passing the ordeal C Survive until the end of the War of the Gods Trial failure condition C death of challenger or end of remaining time Ordeal Breakthrough Reward C Trial failure penalty C death It was worth it. The condition of the Tower of Trials for clearing the 36th floor trial is to hold out until the War of the Gods ends. At best, it was possible to satisfy the conditions for clearing the ordeal just by surviving the war of the gods without being noticed by anyone. It seemed like there was a secret hidden by the Tower of Trials, so I looked around and the story becameplicated. Its just that, regardless of the conditions for clearing the 36th floor ordeal set by the Tower of Trials, it was a stage set in a time before the tower existed, so I personally researched various things and ended up here. If the Tower of Trials set the conditions for clearing the 36th floor trial purely as the moment the War of the Gods ends, then it wouldnt be surprising if the trial ends at some point in the future. When and how will the war of the gods end? To be honest, its not a topic I havent thought about at all. Depending on when and how the conditions set by the Tower of Trials for clearing the 36th floor trial are fulfilled, the purpose for which it moves may also vary. However, it didnt seem like the War of the Gods would end in a very short period of time, and the Tower of Trials had set the deadline for clearing the 36th floor trials to one year, so I didnt pay much attention to it. There is no reason for the war of the gods to continue, and the power struggle between the order and chaos camps has reached its end. If I were to be specific, I think that in the original world history, the gods of creation, the god ofw, and the god of miracles, as well as the ancient gods of thewful camp, would have achieved what they wanted. If we see that the Tower of Trials has still not made a clear decision on the 36th floor ordeal, will the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles have to clear the divine confrontation ne and end the war of the gods? That seemed to also apply to the conditions for clearing this 36th floor trial created by the Tower of Trials. Two of the three ancient gods have died, and even though they are weaker than them, powerful beings such as the God of Time and the God of Light have also died. It wouldnt be strange if the Tower of Trials decided to clear the trials right now, but considering that they didnt, shouldnt the divine confrontation system itself, which establishes the War of the Gods, disappear? Well, either way, its not a bad thing for me that the Tower of Trials didnt give a clear verdict for the 36th floor trial. Chak-. As I was falling from the sky, I slowly slowed down andnded lightly on the ground, grinning. I need to receive a sess reward from the God of Creation for killing the God of Time, but I also have some work left to do personally. For some time toe, it seemed like we would talk with the Dragon God and learn about the universe before the Tower of Trials appeared until the War of the Gods dered aplete end. Tower of Trials. This may be thest time we can directly investigate the time period before that transcendent structure appeared. It would be better to continue collecting information. and. I might have to give it a try to see if I can inherit power as the sessor to the Dragon God. Thats not all. Currently, I have won against the incarnation of the Dragon God and have also acquired the divine and the unique skill Primordial Dragon. Even if it were just one chance, if I could inherit her power as the sessor of the Dragon God, I might be able to cause a phenomenon simr to a bug. It would not be impossible for two dragon gods to exist simultaneously in the same universe, assuming that the scenario goes as nned. In essence, two identical beings cannot coexist in one universe. However, in addition to the fact that the Dragon God is a tribal god, if you use the half-divine that this side has and the unique skill Elementary Dragon, you may be able to ovee the contradiction of existence. Ill have to stick with the Dragon God and find out a lot until the war between the gods is dered to be over, but if Im lucky, theres a good chance Ill seed at once. . But Its ominous. Why? Why on earth does everything turn out better than I expected? The thought that bad luck would naturally follow good luck passed through my mind. After robbing the sacred based on the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX), werent all problems resolved without a hitch? Moreover, just like when I killed the God of Time, it was done so easily and without any resistance, so I felt like I was feeling an uneasy feeling. DI cant believe it. But even for a moment. DNot only did he kill two of the three ancient gods, but he also killed powerful ancient gods like the God of Time and the God of Light so easily, as if they were small pieces of food. Suddenly, Dam Cheon-woos consciousness within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword began to fluctuate greatly, and he expressed a strange feeling of excitement. -How on earth is this possible? Well, actually, I just didnt listen properly earlier, and I had to mutter something in a passionate tone when I was fighting the demon god DPerhaps, if I can continue to be stronger like this, it would not be impossible to be a transcendental person who even surpasses the hierarchy of ancient gods When the battle situation ended by killing the God of Time, Dam Cheon-woo continued to speak in a more active and excited voice than before. -hot! If I win a few life-or-death battles against ancient gods in the future, I will definitely be a transcendent!! Isnt this something that will truly bring a wind of change to the entire universe? At this point, I wonder if Dam Cheon-woo is more happy than this person who has the potential to be a transcendent. In the end, we will only know when we can be a transcendental person, so dont make a fuss already. In response, I held the de of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword tightly and said that in a slightly pathetic tone. Moreover, because of the penalty imposed by the Tower of Trials on the 36th floor trials, there is no particr benefit to defeating ancient gods, so it will take more time to be a transcendent. -Well I guess this is what I thought, considering that as well? The penalty imposed by the Tower of Trials on the 36th floor is to limit the reward that can be obtained by defeating the Ancient Godhead to one. As a reward for clearing the ordeal, you can obtain the spirit of one of the ancient gods. . DWhether it is a God of Darkness or a Demon God, if one of the two absorbs their ghost and also activates the myth , the growth time will be greatly reduced in the future. If you think about that, it would be possible to be reborn as a transcendental assuming that you win a couple more battles with ancient gods. Its not wrong, but its not certain. DPfft. Not sure? Thats stupid. Dam Cheon-woo continued to show his excitement, probably because he was intoxicated by the thought that there were only a few days left for him to be reborn as a transcendental person. -Necromancy. Divinity and mythology . All of these are the most ideal preparations needed to be a transcendent. Since it is the power that only paves the way to bing a transcendent, no surprises will happen. It seems as if there is no doubt that this person will be a transcendental person and be a god close to omniscience and omnipotence that has never existed in the history of the universe. DTranscendant or ascendant. You will soon be able to reach the ultimate ideal that the gods across the universe so passionately desire. It was not difficult to see why Dam Cheon-woo was showing such excitement. DIt feels like an honor to be able to join you on your journey to bing a transcendent. Wasnt Dam Cheon-woo, who originally resided in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, also a challenger from the martial arts dimension who climbed the Tower of Trials to the upper levels? Its not like I cant understand. Those who have climbed the Tower of Trials to the upper levels and have the opportunity to be administrators either have grand aspirations that force them to rely on miracles, or they are purely addicted to bing stronger and their brakes are broken. Any challenger who sought to be stronger by climbing the Tower of Trials must have had an illusion of the hierarchy of transcendents. Thats probably why Dam Cheon-woo is also so excited about the fact that this person has be a transcendental person and is being reborn as the strongest being in the entire universe. I sympathize. It wasnt that I couldnt understand Dam Cheon-woos feelings because I also wanted to climb the Tower of Trials to the end, considering the meaning of bing stronger in itself. Are you feeling a bit of vicarious satisfaction through me? Or perhaps she feels how special the moment of bing a transcendent is because she climbed the Tower of Trials with us on this journey. . Either way, I dont feel too bad because it means that Dam Cheon-woo also strongly hopes for me to be a transcendent. Tsutsutsu-. step. [.] That too was only for a moment. [Time ends.] [The Unshakable Faith (EX) exclusive effect Proof of Faith is deactivated due to the expiration of the activation time.] [The divinity that was usurped by the Unshakable Faith (EX)-exclusive effect Faith of Proof disappears.] When I saw the system message that appeared before my eyes, I smiled bitterly as I felt that the sacred within me was bing unstable and starting to lose its form. Its over. The sacred that had been robbed using the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) began to disappear due to the end of time. Well, now that I dont have to fight with anyone anymore, it doesnt matter what happens. It was a little disappointing. When I became the Devil of Transcendence and Death by using the divine , divine , and divine as the basis of my divinity, I felt full as if the Holy Spirit was dwelling in my entire body. However, apart from that, as the sacred began to slowly disappear, the face of the Demon God I had seen earlier almost shed through my mind. I was satisfied. The demon god faced death with a somewhat relieved expression on his face. So. The extinct Demon God seemed more satisfied than ever, feeling satisfied with his once-in-a-lifetime struggle. It is farewell. and. Granted family registration. Is that why? I guess I could take a souvenir. At that, I chuckled and forcibly extracted a part of the sacred just before it disappeared and materialized the memories and emotions. Kuhuung-! The fragment of the sacred pulled out from the heart here in the blink of an eye was simr to the fragment of the sacred given by the God of Darkness. If I bring it to the dark gods and demons in the real world, not the world of trials created by the Tower of Trials, I can return some favor. At best, all this side can do is convey memories and emotions through fragments of the sacred and the sacred . Whether it is a god of darkness or a demon god, they are both like benefactors to me. But still, it urred to me that the two ancient gods would somehow be satisfied with just such a simple task. Tsutsutsu. The sacred pletely disappeared when a portion of its sacred power was extracted while retaining its memories and emotions. [.] [Conditions met.] [The sacred disappears, and challenger Han Seong-yoons divine name is reduced.] [The divine disappears, and the divine name of challenger Han Seong-yoon is reduced to God of Transcendence and Death.] The name of this god also changed from Demon God of Transcendence and Death to God of Transcendence and Death. The divine , the divine , and the divine were the basis of godhood Now that the sacred among the three divine abilities has disappeared, the divine name also seems to have been restored to its original state. This is it for now. I think it would be enough to convey some of the memories and emotions contained in the divine supernormal ability to the gods and demons of darkness outside the Tower of Trials in the future. Lets go back slowly. Jump and jump -. The appreciation ended briefly. As I saw that the unfinished sacred realm created by the God of Time hadpletely copsed, I took a step forward. First of all, arent all those who noticed the truth in the war of gods, including the God of Time, and nned to go beyond the Tower of Trials dead? Lets meet the Dragon God first. First of all, there was a need to have some conversation with the Dragon God. This is because, if possible, I want to inherit the power of the Dragon God through the divinity and the unique skill Elementary Dragon before going to the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles. Since this was something that had to be done before the Tower of Trials dered clear the 36th floor trial, it was better not to waste time. Well, I doubt that the Dragon God will immediately hand over his power as I want but it might be a good idea to give it a try. and. Tuk. How long did we walk across the devastatednd like that? Suddenly, I realized that I had returned to the ce where I had left the Dragon God earlier, and I looked around. Originally, this side of her would have used all of her protective system abilities to protect her so that no harm woulde to her. In that case, no matter where I looked, I couldnt see the Dragon God, and the protection system ability had naturally ended its activation. Where did it go? She was looking around with her head, wondering if perhaps the Dragon God had woken up on her own and headed somewhere Hold-. [Yep. ] . That didnt seem to be the case. Suddenly, while I was looking around my head to find the Dragon God, a thin finger pressed my cheek. I could have avoided it because I realized in time that someone was sneaking up on me with my sixth sense, but I didnt do it anyway. I didnt go somewhere, I was hiding here. It was natural. [The Dragon God giggles, proud that he yed a little prank on you.] [Hmph. You got hit, right? Even though the battle for sessor is over, arent we being too careless? ] Thats because the owner of the thin fingers right next to where I was standing was none other than the Dragon God. Cluck cluck-. She responded calmly as the dragon god seemed to be ted and pressed his cheek with his finger, as if he thought the surprise attack had been sessful. Dragon God. [ huh? ] You dont seem to have much of a knack for pranks, so I hope youll refrain from doing things like this in the future. [ uh? Really? Am I not good at pranks? That cant be possible. ] no. The Dragon God is not good at pranks. Give up. [.] Yongshin had a stern expression, perhaps a little shocked by what this person said, but then looked sullen, as if he was hurt. Eat. When I saw that, I didnt really want to see the Dragon God drooping down, so Iughed and said it as if it was a lie. Its a joke. [ ? ] To tell the truth, I was a little surprised by the prank the Dragon God yed. [Hehehe. yes? I thought so too. I cant help but be surprised by how good my stealth skills are. Even theter sessor is very good at pretending not to be surprised, isnt he? ] I will gratefully ept any praise. To tell the truth, I wasnt surprised at all, but I nodded, feeling like I was telling a white lie. So, after a brief conversation between Yongshin and I, there was a heavy silence between us for a moment. obviously. [ God of time. The energy of the ancient gods who sympathized with the future prophet can no longer be felt anywhere. ] The Dragon God spoke with a somewhat bitter look on his face. [I dont think its strange even if small things like the God of Time and the God of Light are dead. However, it is strange that even the presence of the God of Darkness and the suddenly felt presence of the Demon God disappeared. ] . [ Well dont misunderstand. Im just asking because Im curious. Is there a sessor? ] youre right. I answered him directly, without any fuss. God of time. In addition, there are even beings like the God of Darkness and the God of Light. Its true that I killed him. [.] I am the god of transcendence and death. Even if you be an ancient god and achieve conceptual immortality, that doesnt mean you cant kill. Like now. [ I see. ] The dragon god nodded his head with a bitter smile and continued speaking. [It feels a little lonely. I dont know about the God of Time, but I often talk and y with the God of Darkness and the God of Light. I got along well with those three in many ways. now. ] She interrupted her story once, shook her head slightly, and showed a forced smile. [ Oh, of course, I dont mean to me the sessor or anything like that. Its just because it reminds me of old times. Well, whether it was a god of darkness, a demon god, or a god of light, they only hung out together for a short time. Since they were truly hostile to you and me, I wouldnt be particrly sad if they all died. ] Is that so. [ huh. ] . For some reason, it seemed to me that the Dragon God was feeling quite lonely. In any case, immortals like ancient gods must have had some kind of bond with each other. However, Yongshin also seemed to have expected this to happen to some extent and did not express anything further except for a bit of loneliness. I stood there with my mouth closed for a moment, then parted my lips and spoke. Then how about joining me from now on? [ uh? ] The Dragon God wanted to make me his sessor. I epted that. Then why dont you just hang out with me from now on? [.] Since it was time to get to the point with Yongshin, I suggested it without hesitation. So-.Its no different. As the sessor to the Dragon God, I have an intention to inherit the divine . in other words. I mean it. I was thinking of using a shortcut that would allow two dragon gods to exist in one universe. *** The Dragon Gods eyes widened and her face turned red. She [Yongshin asks back, doubting whether he heard correctly.] [Is this really true? Are you willing to inherit the sacred and be my sessor? really? Is it real? Its not a lie, right? jin. ] The dragon god probably didnt know that this person would ept it so easily, so much so that he even muttered the same words several times while being extremely excited. Its real. But even for a moment. [ is that really true? ] When the dragon god confirmed once again that this was not a joke, she smiled brightly and her eyes sparkled. [She stamps her feet with a smile on her face, as if she cant believe the Dragon God.] [ Does this mean that you will ept it even though you know what it means to be the sessor to the Dragon God? ] I even went so far as to say this out of fear that this person might not know what it meant to be the sessor of the Dragon God and to inherit the divine . I know. Of course, she cannot be unaware of the risks involved in bing the Dragon Gods sessor. Isnt there a high possibility that divinity, the concept that inherits the divinity and is the basis of divinity, will disappear, and that each persons ego will be mixed up? [ Yes, thats right. Inheriting the divinity , as the sessor said, could mean abandoning ones own concept of divinity itself. Does that mean youll do it anyway? ] Well, I have no intention of abandoning divinity, the concept that is the basis of my divinity. There is not an ounce of falsehood in the statement that I will inherit the divine as the sessor to the Dragon God. [Hehe. okay-? Is that so? Then, you can inherit the divine right now. ] its possible. To that, I answered with satisfaction, as if I had hoped for something. On the contrary, from my perspective, I want to quickly seed to the divine without wasting time. Perhaps the Dragon God said this to confirm this sides will to inherit the sacred , but isnt that the situation that I wish would happen instead? Only then will we be able to find out whether two beings with the divine in one universe can coexist at the same time. The Dragon God tilted his head and spoke as if he did not understand. [In one universe, two beings with the divine can coexist at the same time Hmm. I wonder if that would be difficult? ] It seemed like he didnt believe that what he said would actuallye true. [ At the point when I transfer the sacred to my sessor, I will be something that is left with only the remnants of the Dragon God. He might not even be an ancient god. Moreover, even if by some chance two divine bepatible, the simultaneous existence of the same concept brings about contradiction. Because of this, there is a high possibility that the divinity of one of the two concepts will be destroyed. ] I know that too. However, I have a shortcut that might allow me to ignore it. I just want to try an experiment. [ Uhm. I dont really think that will be sessful. Well, if the sessor is determined to inherit the sacred , I have no intention of stopping him. Because I also want to pass on the sacred before my sessor changes his mind. ] Then there is no reason to take any more time. Just like that, I stretched out my hand, strongly raising the divinity sleeping within me and the unique skill Elementary Dragon. I will inherit the sacred . The dragon god stared at the outstretched hand for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and held the hand together as if he couldnt do it. [ Whew. okay. Then let me begin. Even if you want to quit midway, its no use, so just know that. ] Wow-. and. ! In an instant, a cloud of pure white divine light burst from the Dragon Gods body and poured down on me like a waterfall. In response, I concentrated my mind to its limit and captured the flow of divinitying from the outside to the inside. In the sacred , I can feel the Dragon Gods memories, emotions, and fragments of his ego exploding like a thunderbolt. Its probably a gamble from here on out. ordingly, I stabilized the flow of the sacred flowing in from the other side as much as possible through the sacred obtained from the incarnation of the Dragon God in advance and the unique skill Elementary Dragon. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo. The sacred changed from a violent flow like a waterfall to a calm like a stream, perhaps due to the fragments of divinity obtained from the incarnation of the Dragon God in advance and the unique skill The Dragon of the Beginning. Shall we begin? and. [Divinity is used.] [He can control the death of everything that has been eroded by sacred .] [Divine lives.] [It bes parasitic on objects thate into contact with divinity, absorbs their life force, takes control, and maniptes them] [Divine is used.] [Challenger Han Seong-yoons next attack is imbued with the power to consume divinity] In the blink of an eye, the sacred , the sacred , and the sacred were activated and began to delicately destroy and take over the sacred . Kwasasak! A situation where the frame that defines the concept of divinity itself is destroyed and the concept that is the basis of divinity is colored by divinity. possible. In other words, it means that not only the memory and emotional self inherent in the divinity are being changed, but also the very definition of the concept divinity itself. For a first time, its going so smoothly. If the divine is the power that symbolizes the tribal god, the definition of the concept itself can be partially twisted and changed to symbolize me myself. Kuuuk-. It annihtes and disintegrates through divine , transforms by parasitizing through divine , and swallows up and suppresses all rejection reactions through divine . Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ordingly, if the power itself, which is the basis of the divine , is inscribed, the definition of the concept of the divine is bound to be somewhat different from the existing one. [.] [Unlock conditions met.] [The unique skill Primordial Dragon has beenpletely unlocked.] like now. [.] [Conditions met.] [Through the divinity , the divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon has been expanded.] [Through the divinity , challenger Han Seong-yoons divine name is expanded to Dragon God of Transcendence and Death.] ! In an instant, the definition of the concept of the divine itself changed and became stable, while at the same time, an unexpected event urred. Suddenly, as if he realized that the divinity being sent to me was no longer the same concept of divinity, he abruptly disconnected. At the same time, the divinity of the dragon god, , returned to its original ce, and only the divinity , whose concept itself was custom-made with the power to symbolize myself, remained in my body. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! That means only one thing. h h h h-! [The Dragon God is astonished at the absurd thing that happened in a split second.] [What is this? Why did this happen when the divine wasntpletely inherited? ] It was simple. [The Dragon God of Transcendence and Deathughs, feeling satisfied that the expedient n he had nned in advance worked.] [Is this working? ] Suddenly, we seeded in realizing the miraculous event of two dragon gods existing in one universe. *** In fact, it wasnt unfamiliar. I felt simr to the enemy who used the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) to steal the divine and use it as the basis of godhood. The only difference is that the divine abilities that this side can wield have changed from the divine to the divine . [The Dragon God expresses surprise at the great change in your power.] [ Nonsense. Two truly divine could exist at the same time in one universe? ] However, the Dragon God seemed to think it was more than a miracle, and his voice was full of embarrassment. Tdu-duk-. But this wasnt the case. As expected, it worked out just as I expected. An expedient method of changing the definition of the concept of the divinity as a concept divinity, making a difference and changing the judgment so that it is recognized as a separate concept divinity. For a first time ad-libbing, I was quite good at it. At that, I smiled and looked towards the Dragon God. Didnt I tell you? and. I have a shortcut that can make the two divine coexist in one universe. When the dragon god saw this smiling face, he covered his expression with both hands as if he was embarrassed, then opened his palms again and revealed his face. [ I didnt know it would really be sessful. I was just thinking realistically. Ugh. ] It was a bit funny. Well, I wasnt really sure that I would seed. I thought the odds of sess were half the odds of failure. [ Really? It seems like a lie. Youre not just saying this tofort me, are you? Actually, I knew it would happen like this, but I acted like a fool. ] That cant be possible. [ then Im d. ] I said that casually, tapped the dragon god on the shoulder, and then walked out behind him. Sabak Sabak-. I dont know when the war of gods will end. It cannot be denied that the time we can spend together has increased in the future. He will probably wander around the with the Dragon God and obtain various information until the war between the gods is deredpletely over. The Dragon God will have many things to teach me, his sessor, as his sessor. I thought that if I walked around with her, I might find out why she was so obsessed with me. I have somewhere to go first, so I think it would be better to meet againter. If you are lucky, you will be able to find out what prompted the Tower of Ordeals to appear in the time period before the Tower of Ordeals appeared. God of time. I decided to get paid to kill him. So, first of all, I understand that you are happy, but you need to stay away from me for a while Puhwaak-. The sound of a rupture breaking through skin. Patter. The sound of blood dripping. [ Hehehe. Were you nning oning to get paid for killing the God of Time? You must have had a hard time fighting those monstrous ancient gods. Hes also diligent. ] Suddenly I heard a strange noise behind me and stopped. [But theres no need for that, right? I came here myself so that they wouldnt have to go through the trouble of going to the orderly camp. You can feel grateful. ] At that moment, I felt a familiar divine voice echoing somewhere and immediately turned around with a stern expression. [ -ah! is not it? In fact, maybe I should be thankful, not him. You opened the treasure chests of the three ancient gods for me. Hehehe. ] There, behind the Dragon God, there was a woman wearing brown robes standing calmly with a sharp hand piercing her heart. Sigh-! Its no different-. [The God of Creation is happy that you have benefited from your fishermans fortune and sends you greetings for a reunion.] [ hi? God of transcendence and death. No, should I now call him the Dragon God of Transcendence and Death? Anyway, thank you. ] The God of Creation took advantage of her weakened Dragon God and pierced her heart,ughing in joy. [Thanks to your dedication, we have seeded in gaining more than we could have imagined from the cumbersome battlefield called the War of the Gods. ] dump-. The dragon gods body fell limply to the devastated ground. [So, let me tell you. ] At this point, you have no choice but to instinctively know. [The God of Creation bursts into mes, blessing the starting point of a new world.] [ CWhat kind of changes will the starting point of this new world bring to the entire universe in the future? ] It was a betrayal. Chapter 474 474. Curtain call (1) God of creation. The actual representative of the order camp, one of the two great powers that divide the War of the Gods. He is a being who can create all things as long as he activates the divine and pays a pricemensurate with the value of the creation. It appeared from an empty space without any warning, ambushed the Dragon God, and smiled brightly. Patter! The God of Creation pierced the heart of the Dragon God, brushed away the blood, and smiled in satisfaction. [The God of Creation feels grateful towards you and gives you a warm smile.] [ Amazing. Could it be that two divine can coexist harmoniously in one universe without suffering from the contradictions of simultaneous existence? After all, you are a monster that falls outside the scope of ancient godhood. amazing. ] Its an unpleasant sight that feels somewhat foreign, as if this person is doing better than expected and is appreciating their hard work. [ I had no idea that by partially changing the symbolic meaning of the concept of the divinity itself, the Dragon God and my own concept of divinity could be recognized as separate powers. ] p- p- p-. [Moreover, the divine is a symbol of a tribal god created to represent the dragon species itself, and is the highest-ranking power among ancient gods. Thats why its even more amazing. ] The God of Creation pulled back the hood of his brown robe and smiled greedily. [ Unconventional idea to touch upon the concept of the divine itself. Extraordinary execution ability to turn fantasy into actual reality. Every single one of them is close to a miracle. ] . [If you have changed your mind, wont you join me? Now Im very interested in you as a person. I want to go beyond a cooperative rtionship, not a transactional one, and build a deeper personal rtionship] you. Crump-. [The Dragon God of Transcendence and Death feels extreme anger and murderous intent towards the attacker and radiates his power.] [ I will kill you. ] In the blink of an eye, the energy of divinity and mana surged like a storm, and the body shot forward. [Transcendence Myth is activated.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons movements will be subject to the divine effect of .] [When activating the divine , depending on the users capabilities, movements reaching the speed of light can be achieved.] [? This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.] [From now on, the divine effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.] [It bes possible to forcibly activate a specific ability no matter what the situation or condition is.] [However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the recoil from use of the effect also increases as the situation and conditions be closer.] [? Immediately after this effect is activated, you will pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.] ! The transcendence myth was activated and we seeded in entering the gray world of super-light speed. Originally, the sacred effect Super Light Speed of the Transcendence Myth can only be used after activating the sacred as a prerequisite It has also been adjusted so that it can be used without the prerequisite activation process of Holy using the divine effect Force of the Transcendent Myth . kill. The infinitely sharpened fighting spirit is directed at the opponent. Due to the activation of the Transcendent Myth , it has be possible to move at the speed of light, but pure physical power cannot threaten the life of an ancient god. Compared to the three ancient gods, even the God of Light, who was rtively weak, did not die from a strike at the speed of light, but was only temporarily stunned. I will definitely kill you. It was necessary to execute a perfect killing blow so that there would be no trace left in the world that the abominable woman standing in front of me ever existed. Tsutsutsu! As the emotions of divinity and mana intensify, their power grows to the point of extreme ferocity. It was no exaggeration to say that I, who had now acquired power close to that of three ancient gods, was a pure mass of power thatbined hundreds ofs. Just by letting out even the slightest negative emotions on this side, the pressure that could destroy the world itself was at a level that was pouring down like a disaster. Goooo! It is not aimlessly wandering aimlessly, but isunched with a clear direction. Moreover, thebat skills honed while climbing the Tower of Trials were put to use without a single ounce of waste, and when added to the energy of divinity and mana, it became an extremely sharp weapon. Divine , Divine , and Divine are activated, and the divine power exclusive power Pure Death Seeker is also steadily adding strength. [The exclusive effect Double of the power skill Honwon Demon Sword is activated.] [Consume divine power to increase the power skill power by [12] times.] [.] Not only that, the power skill Holy Won Demon Sword was activated once again, and the power continued to amplify, finally reaching the destination. Swish-. That means only one thing. !! It was an instant death. *** In an instant, the fatal blow they cast was struck forward and gave off tremendous power. With pure physical power alone, he could escape thews of physics and even slightly surpass the flow of time, but the energy of divinity and mana was added to that extra-standard power. At first, due to the influence of pure physical force, the entirendscape in the field of vision began to melt into pure white enthusiasm, and at the same time, divine abilities burst forth and poured forward. !! The fatal blow, created by a ferocity that was difficult for even one to understand, created a gap in time and space and crushed everything. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Even after escaping from the gray world, the result was revealed only after some time had passed. Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!! The height of violence, which could cause hundreds ofs to copse at once, sent a shock wave that enveloped the entire world. h h h h h-! The world, which was supposed to be strengthened by a huge sacred realm called the Divine Confrontation Realm, is rushing toward destruction without hesitation. . If this side had not controlled the aftermath of a vicious power that was enough to destroy the entire world by focusing on the energy of divinity and mana, everything except the divine confrontation world would have disappeared. Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! In the heat that did not tolerate the existence of living things, I took a quick look around andnded on the mushy ground. . It was a level of power that could wipe out the world itself without leaving a single trace. Although the God of Creation also became an ancient deity and rose to the rank of immortals, her true fighting power itself was not that great. It was clear that she would not have been able to withstand a special move thatbined the power of divinity and mana on top of overwhelming physical power and would have died or, even if she had survived, would have suffered damage that would have led to death within a few minutes. Not only does it not reach the level of the three ancient gods, but the concept of divine power possessed by the God of Creation is a crafting ability that is not rted tobat. If I had to be honest, it was not confirmed that the God of Creation died through necromancy, leaving behind a ghost, so I should have thought that he might have gone far away Even if the God of Creation miraculously survives without dying, the divine will soon take his life. Rather, it was important to check whether the Dragon God, who had copsed after being ambushed by the God of Creation, was alive and to attempt to revive him as quickly as possible. What happened to the Dragon God? Swish-! In the blink of an eye, I headed to the ce where the dragon god had copsed and checked her condition. The sacred effect Superlight Speed of the Transcendent Myth was activated to inflict a physical attack at the speed of light, so the surrounding area was devastated In maintaining her Dragon Gods life, the aftereffects of her power were suppressed so that she would not be harmed, so her wounds did not worsen due to the aftereffects of her power. no. Even though the Dragon Gods wounds didnt get worse because of me, it didnt get any better. She was seriously injured. step. Aside from that, the damage she received from her Dragon God piercing her heart was worsening regardless of the aftereffects of her power. At first nce, it appears that the Dragon God only suffered physical damage that pierced her heart, but in reality, the damage done to her divinity, not her body, was so great that it was out of control. shit! If I had been the dragon god before the divine was shared with me, it would not be surprising if I woke up with at least some wounds, but that is not the case now. By handing over the divinity to me, the immortality of an ancient divinity was temporarily disrupted, and the concept of divinity, which is the basis of divinity, was also weakened. Isnt this a surprise attack at a time? She was now unable to cast her heals as she had recourse to the immortality of the ancient godhead. Even if you treat the body of the dragon god, it is only a matter of buying time to temporarily dy the extinction of divinity, the concept that is the basis of godhood. If the Dragon God also had a powerful regenerative ability like the power skill Ashen Blood that this side has, the story would be different, but it doesnt seem that way. If the Dragon God can restore my divinity and body at the same time with the regenerative ability like the gray fresh blood that I have, I wont die, but thats unlikely. Then there was only one conclusion. Ssssss-! Just like that, I ced my hand on the heart of the Dragon God and let the sacred itself flow into her body. If you restore the very concept of the sacred to its original state and return it to the original owner, the Dragon God, you will be able to cast self-healing. It is best to gamble that her self-recovery ability will increase by returning her sacred to the Dragon God. Keying-. step. . I was aware that attempting to revive the Dragon God on my own was meaningless. Anyway, what was here was just a replica of the Dragon God created by the Tower of Trials, so even if we miraculously revived the Dragon God, it was obvious that it would soon disappear. It is presumed that she, the God of Creation who could end the war of gods, has died, so even if she is revived, she may disappear again after a few minutes. Damn it. There are more options left. If the Dragon God is destined to lose her divinity and die, the answer could be to absorb all of the remaining energy of her concept divinity without leaving any behind. On the contrary, from the perspective of efficiency, it might be better to take her life as it is an opportunity to absorb the power of an ancient god and be stronger. This is especially true since the Dragon God who fell in front of this in the first ce is destined to disappear at the same time the Tower of Trials makes a clear judgment. I am. The moment when I experienced an internal conflict between saving the Dragon God or killing him. [The Dragon God looks at you nkly.] [Sessor] The dragon god barely regained her consciousness and kissed her lips with her eyes blurry open. You dont have to say any more. I will take care of everything from now on. When I saw that, I immediately put aside my inner conflict and focused on transferring my divinity to the Dragon God. Tuk-. But [Sessor Thats enough You can stop] The Dragon God smiled bitterly with her eyes blurred open and continued her words, refusing to ept the divine power. [I actually, I knew even though my sessor didnt tell me that this was someones dream] It was an unexpected story. You knew from the beginning that this was a fake world created by the Tower of Trials? Unlike the God of Darkness or the Demon God, the original Dragon God may have shown signs of suspicion, but he would not have realized that this was a fake world and not the real one. Thats why I thought she came to me and helped me even when I was driven to the brink of death by the God of Time. But that wasnt the case. At that time, the Dragon God knew that this was a fake world, but he still helped me? The Dragon God showed me favor even though he had some idea of the truth in the world created by the Tower of Trials. Why did you devote yourself so much to me even though you know that all of this is just an illusion? When I asked him a question in a quiet voice as if I couldnt understand, he got an answer. [ Well, I would be happy even if all of this were just a momentary dream. ] Yongshin closed his eyes and continued speaking quietly. [Because I have been alone ever since the moment I was born. I wondered what it felt like to be with someone. Even if it was all just a dream, I just wanted to experience it at least once. ] Every time she utters a single word, her divine power slowly dissipates and disappears. [I It was only for a very short time, but I was able to think about a future with a sessor. Thats enough. ] and. [ Sessor. Still, if I were to be greedy one more time I want the memories of the time I spent with someone to be passed on to me in the real world out there. please. ] . As the Dragon God spoke, she concentrated the divine abilities with her fingertips and handed them to me. Tap-! When she received the divine supernormal ability that formed like water droplets at the tip of her finger, the Dragon God smilednguidly as if she was feeling sleepy. [ So goodbye. ] The moment when the dragon god bids farewell to him with anguid smile. [ it was fun. ] In an instant, the concept of divinity that the dragon god had used as the basis of his divinitypletely disappeared, and his body also copsed. Passs! As she looked at the Dragon Gods divinity and body turning into ashes and scattering away, an emptiness seemed to hover in a corner of her heart. . It bothered me that I couldnt even say a proper goodbye in the face of the dragon gods death, but no voice came out. What should I have said? Should I have said thank you or sorry? no. I closed my eyes tightly and felt remorse. I dont deserve it. In the first ce, nothing would have changed by telling the Dragon God what to do. No matter what they say, the death of the Dragon God is only given a short grace period and is destined to disappear someday. In front of him, he could not help but be at a loss for words as he considered the value of the Dragon Gods life and growth and considered taking her life. The only thing I can do for the Dragon God is to pass on the remnants of my memories and emotions to the Dragon God outside. From the moment I remembered that it would be better to take the Dragon Gods life for myself, I could no longer pretend to speak for the Dragon God. therefore. Because it was hypocrisy. Lets finish. The moment I felt empty and guilty and tried to take steps to destroy the divine confrontation system. Jump and jump -. Suddenly, the sound of someones footsteps echoed from afar, and a familiar divine energy was detected. Swish-! The moment I turned my head in a split second and saw the face of a being with that familiar divine energy. what? When I saw an ancient deity standing before me, I couldnt help but widen my eyes and be astonished. What is this!! Its no different. [ Hmm Is this surprising? I never would have thought that the dragon god would give up on continuing his life. Should I say Im lucky? Its strange. ] It was worth it. [The God of Creation looks at you and smiles.] [ well, youre lucky because in the end, its just you and me left. ] Thats because the one standing in front of him was the God of Creation, who should have died without leaving a trace. *** The thinking seemed to stop. How on earth did this happen? God of creation. Isnt she originally a being who should have been destroyed without leaving a trace by the fatal blow that we dealt? How is it that the God of Creation, whosebat power is nothingpared to the three ancient gods, is still alive and well? Perhaps the God of Creation had some kind of hidden power that even I could not detectD. There was a lot of spection about him, but it was only temporary. no. Thats not it. There are no hidden numbers over there. Rather than beingpared to the lords of the universe, such as the three ancient deities, the God of Creation is a being who is sure to be defeated if he were to face the ancient deities of a lower level than him head-on. I guess it was thanks to the power of the God of Creation from the beginning that I was able to survive and return like that. After much thought, I gave the correct answer I came up with. Did you activate the sacred to create several sacred relics specialized for survival? and. [The God of Creation smiles bitterly and nods his head.] [Thats correct. ] The God of Creation also immediately nodded in agreement and continued speaking. [Now that you have power equal to or greater than that of the three ancient gods, I am nothing more than a small child, right? I had to attack him by surprise to kill the Dragon God, but theres no way I could stand in front of you without any countermeasures. ] Okay. As the God of Creation spoke, he lifted his brown robe and revealed the sacred relics stored inside. [ how is it? These are top-ss relics specialized for survival or defense. These are divine items that allow you to survive for a few minutes even if the three ancient godse together. ] The holy relics she had ced inside her brown robe all seemed to belong to enormous objects. [Well, of course, the story is a little different in front of you, but about half of the pre-made relics were used up. ] . [ ah-. do not be angry. To be honest, Im not doing this because I particrly like it. Neither I nor the God of Law nor the God of Miracles have any ill feelings toward the three ancient gods] Youd better shut up. At that, I narrowed my eyes and let out my anger and murderous intent without hiding it. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! No matter what bullshit they say, it wont change the oue of them getting killed by me. Perhaps all of the relics created by the God of Creation are specialized for survival or defense, allowing one to survive many times Thats okay. The response was also easy. You dont think you can continue to survive me with things like that, do you? All you have to do is push forward until the God of Creations special survival and defense relics are used up. [The Dragon God of Transcendence and Death exudes power with a murderous smile.] [ I will kill you for sure this time. ] Even if the God of Creation is armed with relics that can survive in the face of the three ancient gods, there is bound to be a limit to the amount of relics held. No need to waste time. If you activate the Transcendent Myth and unterally use a special move in the world of super-light speed, you can kill the opponent without them having time to respond. kill. At that moment, I activated the Transcendence Myth and at the same time raised the divine abilities from my body. [The God of Creation senses your limitations and chuckles.] [ Well its probably too much. You are no longer fit to fight. ] At the same time that the God of Creation said those words, an intense pain rose from my heart and my internal organs were shocked in an instant. Thick-. !! I let out a silent scream, fell to one knee, and vomited out blood. Cluck, cluck, cluck! As this person knelt on one knee on the ground and vomited out blood, the God of Creation responded with a grin. [I told you, right? You are in no condition to fight anymore. Actually, Ive been watching you fight for some time now. Thanks to that, I was able to find out. ] Jump and jump -. [Isnt that right? I dont know if its a divine supernormal ability or a mythological effect, but its not easy to acquire power equivalent to the three ancient gods in a short period of time. ] She looked at me lying down with strange satisfaction and continued her words. [Moreover, the way you became stronger was by robbing the sacred with the power of a holy relic, so there are bound to be risks involved. ] It was as if he had guessed in advance that this would be the case in the near future. [ Well, even if thats not the case, there are powers you use that require you to pay a price for using them, right? Thanks to that, I have been able to fight continuously until now. But now that too is over. ] At this point, I also know. Is this the price for abusing the activation of the Transcendence Myth ? It was worth it. Originally, the divine effect Forced Power of the Transcendence Myth is a form in which the user is forced to use a specific ability, but the user pays the corresponding priceter. Moreover, since the sacred was robbed and forced to use the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX), the corresponding aftereffects areing. Patter-. Its the worst. Just like that, I was getting nosebleeds and realized that even the power skill, Gray Blood, was not working properly. Should self-healing be considered close to impossible? Perhaps the cost of abusing the sacred obtained through the transcendental myth and the relic Unwavering Faith (EX) cannot be covered by the regenerative ability. I never thought I woulde all the way here and end up in crisis like this. I realized that there was nothing more I could do, so I parted my lips to kill time. you. Are you sane? What on earth do you want to gain by killing the three ancient gods and the other ancient gods? There was a need to take time until at least the divinity and mana energy could be controlled. [ well. I dont really think of myself as crazy. I never thought they would kill the three ancient gods. ] The God of Creation answered, stroking his chin with his slender fingers. [I dont want to tell others what I want to achieve by killing them, but I want them toe with me if possible, so shall I tell you? ] and. Dudduddu! In the blink of an eye, the divine energy resonated around the God of Creation, and a figure she had seen before appeared behind her. . It was a building that seemed to resemble the Tower of Trials that I had already seen once in the sacred realm . What is this? Why? Why does it look more simr to the Tower of Trials thanst time? For some reason, the building resembling the Tower of Trials seen in the sacred realm looked different from before. It looks very close to the prototype Tower of Trials previously seen in the relic Catalog of Brilliant Divinity (SSS+). Looking at it, I was able to intuit one thing. [The God of Creation smiles deeply as he thinks about the new world he will create in the future.] [For the new world toe, from now on I n to create a transcendent being. ] I think we have reached the worst possible ending in the War of the Gods. Chapter 475 475. Curtain Call (2) [I smile deeply as I think about the new world that the God of Creation will create in the future.] [From now on, for the new world in the future, I n to create a transcendent person. ] It was absurd. What is this? What the God of Creation in front of me said was so crazy beyond my imagination that my thoughts almost stopped for a moment. Creating a transcendent? It was worth it. Originally, what we know as the transcendent or ascended was a being that had never appeared in history even in the entire universe. If we had to be honest, we would have to say that it is a virtual state that only a few among ancient gods or higher-ranking gods know about. . Its not even just that. By activating the myth , I am also getting closer to bing a being called a transcendent or ascendant, but I still think it is just a story for the future. Even the lords of the universe, known as the three ancient deities, are at a standstill because they have not been able to surpass the hierarchy of divinity. Its almost nonsense. But Am I out of my mind right now? Are you sure that the God of Creation, who is lower in the hierarchy of divinity than the three ancient gods, as well as the God of Time or the God of Light, can create a transcendent being? [The God of Creation has a vague sense of what you were thinking and smiles bitterly.] [ Hmm. It seems like you dont believe in creating a transcendent person. Well, I guess so. I understand. Actually, even if it were me, I probably didnt think it was real. ] Did they also realize how ridiculous the story they were telling was? [Hmm Originally, I didnt really n on exining this to others in detail but since I want you toe with me from now on, Ill let you know. ] The God of Creation spoke like that and looked as if he was thinking about something for a few seconds before parting his lips. [Did I tell youst time that from the beginning, the war of the gods itself was just an excuse to collect fragments of divinity and souls in the sacred realm ? ] She continued speaking with a somewhat pleasant smile on her face. [Well, as you know, in order to create the divine that I possess, you have to pay a corresponding price, so you need to collect high-quality materials. ] Jeopuk Jeopuk-. [The War of the Gods was the most efficient event for gathering materials to be used in the sacred . ] . [Isnt that right? All you have to do is confine numerous gods in the realm of divinity and then collect the fragments of divinity and souls that arise during the war. The original n was to hold out until the number of gods was reduced as much as possible, but thanks to you, there was no need to do that. ] I guess its because I killed the three ancient gods, as well as powerful people like the God of Time and the God of Light. Even though I was breathing heavily, I did not hide my annoyance and spoke in a mocking tone. With the three ancient deities, even strong ones like the God of Time and the God of Light, all dead, there is no longer any need to wait for the minor deities who im to be higher-ranking gods or official gods to die. [ . ] yes? [Thats correct. ] The God of Creation must have thought that I was understanding faster than he thought, so he gave me a surprised look and pped lightly. [The God of Creation apuds your understanding.] [You finally understand, dont you? During the war of the gods, I collected many, many fragments of divinity and soul to be used as materials for the sacred . Do you have any idea what that means? ] When I saw that, I responded in an annoyed voice, as if I was offended. Does this mean that from the beginning, they were looking for every opportunity in the war of gods to create a transcendent through divine ? In fact, it was nothing more than a story that had already been guessed up to this point. Ive been noticing that since you started talking nonsense about creating a transcendent being or something. The real thing begins now, doesnt it? You know thats not what I want to ask, right? Even if the God of Creation can create anything through His divine , there is a limit to the amount of power that can be created through His divine supernormal abilities. I said I would activate the divine and create a transcendent being, but in reality, you know that it is close to impossible, right? The divinity of the God of Creation alone, , cannot create beings such as transcendents or ascendants. [The God of Creation continues speaking with his eyes wide open as if in surprise.] [Ah was that something you were curious about? Its not wrong, but its not like theres no way to ovee it, right? ] With a grin, she took out a blue bead and a yellow bead from the embrace of her brown robe. [If one divine is not enough, just add divine ws> or divine . ] When I saw that, I immediately realized that those two beads were relics created by containing the concept of divinity itself. under. obviously. You Thats because the two beads in the hand of the God of Creation were deeply imbued with the power of the God of Law and the God of Miracles who were with her. Are you out of your mind? Like the holy relic Unwavering Faith (EX), there was a miraculous product created by consuming the concept of divinity itself, which is the basis of divinity. I didnt know that you would extract divine abilities by sacrificing the God of Law and the God of Miracles who have been following you around until now. There was a high possibility that those two beads held by the God of Creation intactly stored the power of divine ws> and divine . [The God of Creation shows some sadness.] [ It wasnt something I really wanted either. Because those two are people who have spent a long time with me. This fact does not change even if they choose to die of their own will. ] Is that why? . At this point, Im starting to get a sense of it. Perhaps because of their actions, the War of the Gods reached its worst point. As I look at something resembling the Tower of Trials that appears behind the God of Creation, ominous spections thatck any basis run through my mind. No way is this-. A time period before the Tower of Trials did not exist. no. Divine , Divine ws>, and Divine are powers that the Tower of Trials also possesses. Probably not. As if that were not enough, isnt it a situation where the God of Creation appeared with a structure that closely resembles the Tower of Trials, saying that he would create a transcendental being? That cant be possible. I sincerely hope that this guess is not correct and strongly deny it, but the result does not change. [The God of Creation nods, recognizing that you fully understand the current situation.] [I understand that you will create a transcendent using divine , divine ws>, and divine . Same. ] As always, bad premonitions are always right. [ In fact, rather than creating the transcendent itself right now through divine , it should be seen as creating something close to the transcendent. ] Unfortunately. [If we were to be really specific, should we say that it is something that has the power to foster transcendents? ] Sze-. [From now on, I n to turn this tower, which is a mass of pure power, into a structure close to transcendence. ] The God of Creation turned around with a grin and continued speaking while gently caressing the structure that resembled the Tower of Trials. [Even if I dont be a transcendental person myself, one day I will cultivate a transcendental person as I wish and ultimately achieve my goal. ] and. [To destroy all the gods that exist throughout this universe without leaving a single trace. ] The moment the God of Creation touches his lips with a bright smile like an excited child. [Only for that one purpose, this tower will begin to collect beings with talent and qualifications and subject them to numerous trials to nurture them into transcendental beings. ] Realized. [ so-. ] This is. [The God of Creation smiles in satisfaction.] [ Should we call this the Tower of Trials? ] This was the story itself until the Tower of Trials appeared. *** Tower of Trials. With the three ancient gods as its main axis, it is a being that even the pantheon, which is full of powerful people such as ancient gods and higher gods, cannot be touched. It was now possible to fully understand when and how that transcendent structure emerged. It was no coincidence that the device for collecting divinity and souls in the sacred realm resembled the Tower of Trials. I understood. Isnt the Tower of Trials a transcendental structure built on the power of the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles? It was only natural that the Tower of Trials had sacred , divine ws>, and divine . Perhaps that can be seen as the Tower of Trials itself. Although the God of Creation had not yet activated the divine , divine w>, and divine to create the Tower of Trials, it was certain. In short, this means that I have been participating in the work to create the Tower of Trials. Wow-. In response, I clenched my hands into fists and gritted my teeth. Originally, the Tower of Trials would have been created only after a very, very long time had passed in the original history when this side did not run rampant in the War of the Gods. Even more so, the three ancient gods, the God of Time and the God of Light, would have died, so they would not have been able to umte so much divinity and soul power. Damn it. There was definitely ie. I learned firsthand the entire story of how the Tower of Trials came to be. However, even though I learned the entire story leading up to the creation of the Tower of Trials, I was not very happy. I was taken advantage of. It was natural. In fact, isnt it the case that the God of Creation was thoroughly exploited during the war of the gods by doing as he wished? Now that the Dragon God had also faced death by the God of Creation, even though he learned of the reason why the Tower of Trials appeared, he could not help but feel angry and annoyed rather than happy. Crackling-. Lets calm down. But even for a moment. If the God of Creation is the one who created the Tower of Trials, there are still more questions left to ask. No matter how angry this side gets in front of the God of Creation, the cost of overusing the divine effect Force of the transcendental myth has not yet disappeared. We need to pass the time by talking about the Tower of Trials until I can fight again. There is not much time left. Once the aftereffects of abusing the Forced Power sacred effect of the Transcendent Myth are over, the power of divinity and mana can be used again. Even if there is still more recoil from the use of Force, the sacred effect of the Transcendence Myth , as long as you can handle the power of divinity and mana, you can fight again. Wait until then. In response, I narrowed my eyes, took a breath, and thought about a question to ask the other person to buy time. . Isnt there still one more thing left to ask the God of Creation? Ahh. It might not be visible to trash, but it was very clear to me. The possibility of developing a concept of divinity was engraved in you from the beginning in the talent of your soul. No matter which world you were born in, if you found a way to awaken the energy of mana, you would most likely be an ancient god with great power. The dark god clearly said so when he saw the power this side possessed. This means that no matter what world you were born in, if you were able to awaken the energy of mana, you would have no choice but to be an ancient god. If what the God of Darkness said is true, it means that I could have be an ancient god even without the Tower of Trials, although it would take time. You said you would nurture transcendants by creating a transcendental structure called the Tower of Trials, right? in other words-. Then theres one thing Id like to ask. That means only one thing. Are you trying to forcibly gather beings with the spiritual talent to be transcendents at the Tower of Trials and raise them? The Tower of Trials may have ced restrictions on the system so that I cannot be stronger on my own. Chapter 476 476. Curtain Call (3) Actually, I was curious about it before. Even though I had be an awakened person before climbing the Tower of Trials, I could not be stronger at all due to theck of basic aptitude in the system. In the past, I didnt think it was particrly strange, but as I climbed the Tower of Trials and realized btedly that I had a natural talent, I began to have doubts. . Why couldnt I be stronger at all before climbing the Tower of Trials? It is an innate talent for divinity and mana that can be counted on one hand in the entire universe. Even if I didnt have any potential in the system, shouldnt I be able to umte some level of power as a magic user? Actually, if you think about it, there are a few strange things about it. In that case, no matter how much I used the magical power I acquired as an awakened person before being chosen for the Tower of Trials, I could not be stronger at all. Even elements that are close to absolutews, such as the Tower of Trials or the system, do not restrict the way to be stronger on their own. Strangely enough. Then I should have been able to umte magical power and be stronger even when there was no Tower of Trials It was a strange feeling, as if someone was intentionally excluding me from bing stronger by blocking it with an invisible wall. I couldnt do that. Is that why? Earlier, the God of Darkness said that I was born with a special soul talent that allowed me to blossom into a concept of divinity. At this point, I could no longer postpone the thought and pretend not to notice. This was especially true because even the God of Darkness, one of the three ancient deities of the universe, highly valued their natural talent. Even if there had been no Tower of Trials, she even asserted that I would have naturally acquired the concept of divinity over time and be an ancient god. If thats true, then I Before I knew it, countless thoughts were going through my head, and a vaguely ominous inference was forming. Wow-. Ask me again. In response, I tried to shake off the distracting thoughts, clenched both hands into fists, and asked the question again. Is the n you came up with to cultivate transcendants at the Tower of Trials by forcibly bringing in and training people with talent and qualifications from all over the universe? This is a question that may perhaps touch on the essence of the almost transcendental structure known as the Tower of Trials. [The God of Creation looks at you and smiles faintly as if he is interested.] [.] The God of Creation, who heard what this person said, touched the corner of his smiling mouth with one hand as if he was amazed, and slowly answered. [ very sharp. ] However, rather than answering the question inly, the God of Creation seems to feel ufortable with the question posed and tries to ask the question in reverse. [ is that a hypothesis you just came up with yourself? If thats not the case. ] step. I should have asked first? That too was only for a moment. The moment when I open my eyes and reveal negative emotions such as anger, murderous intent, and suspicion to the other person without hiding them. The God of Creation took a step back, startled, if only for a moment, and then stopped asking the question. Answer me. Because it is not even a divine voice, but merely an ordinary voice, strong emotions cannot harm the other person. [ How on earth have you be such a monster? ] However, despite this, after realizing that the God of Creation had unknowingly taken a step back, he responded, stroking the back of his neck as if he was sweating coldly. [ I never thought he could show such spirit even though he is weakened as a result of freely abusing his divine abilities. amazing. really. ] The God of Creation muttered this with a bitter smile and then calmly gave the correct answer. [I dont know if its an innate insight or information gained through some means or conversation with someone, but Ill admit it. ] Pisik-. [Yes, thats right. ] The God of Creation continued speaking with a faint smile on his lips. [I n to bring in people from all over this universe who have the talent and qualifications to be transcendents and temper them to be transcendents at the Tower of Trials. ] In other words, it was nned that the Tower of Trials selected and brought in talented individuals from various worlds who would be challengers. [The God of Creation deres, expressing his ever-stronger will.] [Until one day, he forges the most perfect weapon capable of annihting every single god in the universe. ] *** The answer was not unexpected. Although the Tower of Trials is close to being a transcendent, it has notpletely reached the virtual state called a transcendent or ascended. And because of that, I was vaguely aware of the fact that the Tower of Trials was selecting challengers from all over the universe and training them to be transcendents. I knew to some extent that the Tower of Trials attracted people with talent and qualifications from all over the universe to foster transcendents. I think it would be a new fact if it were just that the Tower of Trials had such a purpose from the time it appeared. However, apart from that, I have not been able to find out in detail how the Tower of Trials subordinates beings that it judges have the potential to be transcendents. It was also assumed that the Tower of Trials forcibly summoned those with the potential to be transcendents and reset their powers before they went out of control. . step. If the Tower of Trials is an imitation of the Transcendant that was created with thorough nning from a very long time ago, then there is no way it could have clumsily prepared for the submission of the challenger. What this side is really curious about is one of the questions that is premised on the fact that those who have the potential to be transcendents are selected in advance and forcibly gathered together. What Im curious about is whether the Tower of Trials maniptes beings who have the potential to be transcendents in advance. Does the Tower of Trials forcibly oppress beings who have the potential to develop a concept of divinity through innate soul talent so that they cannot be stronger? . It was important. It was a question that would determine life itself before the Tower of Trials, so it could never be passed over in vain. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a story that cannot be known except now that the creator of the Tower of Trials is standing right in front of us. So, I tried to find out everything with the next question, but before I could ask the question, the other side reacted first. [The God of Creation looks at you and smiles.] [Well, if Ive told you this far, theres no need to hide the information anymore. ] The God of Creation smiled lightly and slowly walked away, burning his lips. [As you guessed, I have nned a n to select and forcibly gather beings from all over the universe who have the talent and qualifications to be transcendents. ] Jeopuk Jeopuk-. [ However, since I cannot get my hands on beings who have achieved the hierarchy of divinity, such as higher deities or formal deities, I will have to adopt a method of bringing in raw stones of talent that have the potential to be transcendents but have not yet been processed. ] She leisurely hovered near the spot where I was sitting and continued speaking as if exining. [ Although they are merely mortals who have not be higher deities or formal deities, there are some, although few, who have the possibility of developing conceptual divinity engraved in their souls through natural talent. ] I quietly listened to the exnation of the God of Creation without any response, and felt the energy of divinity and mana slowlying under control. [They achieve great achievements without much effort and one day reach the level of ancient gods or equivalent. Of course, there are more cases where they suddenly copse one day and die before that happens. ] The price of continuing to abuse the forced power, the sacred effect of the transcendental myth , has not been fully paid, but he is regaining some of his strength. If I talk to the God of Creation a little more and collect information from now on, Ill be able to move around even if Im not in the best condition. If you take your time listening to specific stories about the Tower of Trials, you may soone across an opportunity to exploit your opponents loophole. [The number of beings with the possibility of developing divinity engraved into their souls is very small. To the extent that there are times when not even one person in the world is born with such talent. ] The God of Creation said with a strangely unpleasant smile. [The good news among the misfortunes is that there are countless dimensions that exist in the universe. ] Tak-. [ I know that? Somewhere in the universe, there are worlds that do not even know that mana energy, let alone divinity, exists. ] Suddenly, the God of Creation stopped in front of where we were sitting and continued speaking. [ Well, most of those ces are worlds where beasts that should be called monsters, not even humans or sub-humans, live, but there are also ces where that is not the case. ] and. [ Even if there are higher life forms that can build a highly civilized society, there are often dimensions where the existence of mana is not even known because the mana concentration of the itself is absurdly low. ] After hearing those words, I narrowed my eyes and noticed that there was a world that matched the other persons description. No way is this Its none other than-. Are you talking about a world like Earth? It was Earth. Unlike other worlds, in the Earth dimension, even superhumans did not exist before abnormal phenomena such as dungeon gates and systems urred. If I were to choose a case that best fits what the God of Creation said, I thought that the Earth dimension would be the case that best fits that description. [Can I tell you one more thing? Even in worlds where mana is not even known to exist, beings with the potential to be transcendents are born. Even though the soul itself has the potential to blossom into divinity, it lives and dies like an ordinary person due tock of ess to mana throughout its life. ] And. [The God of Creation smiles with anticipation.] [Thats why I thought. ] The God of Creation continued speaking with an expression that seemed to be filled with joy. [If the problem is that the mana concentration in that world is ridiculously low, all you have to do is to forcibly raise the mana concentration itself and select those who have the potential to be transcendents. ] An expression of pride, as if he hade up with a truly amazing idea. [There are countless worlds in the universe. Among those worlds, on the other hand, there are severals where the concentration of mana is high, but where high-level intelligence does not live. Itbines a world that has achieved a highly civilized society but has a low mana concentration, and a world where there are only savage beasts but the itself has a high mana concentration. ] what? [ They cause dimensional erosion in a world that has achieved a highly civilized society, unleashing monsters with mana and creating extreme environmental changes. When exposed to mana from other dimensions, it bes very easy to select those with spiritual talent. ] . When I heard those words, I had no choice but to stop and listen to the other person, forgetting to even breathe. [ Of course, thats not all. Even if we raise the worlds mana concentration, it is useless if we do not know how to control the power of mana We are trying to randomly awaken higher life forms such as humans or sub-races that exist in that world so that they can be stronger in a simple way. ] obviously. [ While monsters are pouring in due to the erosion between dimensions, they are forced to learn how to manipte the energy of mana. As a result, those who have found a way to adapt to somewhat extreme environmental changes will inevitably go through evolution to a certain level of strength, making it easier to determine their souls talents. ] Thats it. [ Well, of course, in the process, it may be necessary to temporarily restrict the growth of beings born with the spiritual talent to be transcendents so that they cannot be stronger beyond a certain level, but it is not that difficult. ] Isnt that so? [As time goes by, the Tower of Trials will appear in the world after going through a series of adaptation and evolution processes and forcibly bring in gemstones of talent that have even the slightest chance of bing transcendents. ] This means that by causing monsters to overflow through the phenomenon of erosion between dimensions, the concentration of mana in the world is increased, and as a method of adaptation to environmental changes, forced awakening is promoted to repeat adaptation and evolution. . Isnt that a story from a world we know well? The method of adjusting the worlds mana concentration by causing inter-dimensional erosion with the Tower of Trials could be exined by using dungeons or gates. It also seems to be assumed that the awakener and the system provide a way to awaken random characters and easily be stronger as a way to deal with the monsters from other dimensions pouring in from beyond the gate due to Dungeon Break. Well, its a simple story. [Perhaps in the future, I will find the most perfect transcendent gemstone that exists in this entire universe and one day, I will definitely obtain it. ] Before the Tower of Trials appeared, the reason I could not get stronger no matter how hard I tried was because I was a being who had the potential to be a transcendent in the first ce, so my growth was limited there until I was chosen as a challenger. ah. The sudden death of my parents due to Dungeon Break was also the result of the Tower of Trials carrying out environmental changes to increase the mana concentration of the world ording to the n of the God of Creation. Crackling-. That means only one thing. [The God of Creation looks at you and smiles.] [Isnt that wonderful?] I have been ying around in the hands of the Tower of Trials my whole life, without knowing anything. Chapter 477 477. Curtain Call (4) I felt as if my eyes were turningpletely white. My thoughts are not organized well, and the indescribable whirlpool of emotions in my head cannot be put into words and is mixed in a chaotic manner. Meanwhile, the words the God of Creation spoke were being reyed in my head one by one, as if I had pressed the repeat button on a video. Can you tell me one more thing? Even in worlds where mana does not even exist, beings with the potential to be transcendents are born. Despite the possibility of blossoming into divinity engraved in the soul itself, it lives and dies like an ordinary person due tock of ess to mana throughout its life. The God of Creation said that even in a world where a highly civilized society was not even aware of the existence of mana, beings were born with the possibility of developing divinity engraved in the talent of the soul itself. Thats why I thought. and. If the problem is that the mana concentration in that world is ridiculously low, all you have to do is to forcibly raise the mana concentration itself and select those who have the potential to be transcendents. It didnt take long for me to realize that it had nothing to do with me. There are countless worlds in the universe. Among those worlds, on the other hand, there are severals where the concentration of mana is high, but where high-level intelligence does not live. Isnt that right? Itbines a world that has achieved a highly civilized society but has a low mana concentration, and a world where there are only savage beasts but the itself has a high mana concentration. Until a few decades ago, powers such as divinity or magic did not exist on Earth. They cause dimensional erosion in a world that has achieved a highly civilized society, unleashing monsters with mana and creating extreme environmental changes. If an extreme environmental change had not urred one day, with strange phenomena such as dungeons and gates and monsters pouring in, the existence of Mana might not have even been proven until now. When exposed to mana from other dimensions, it bes very easy to select those with spiritual talent. Thats why I realized it. They are forced to learn how to manipte mana energy while monsters are pouring in due to the erosion between dimensions. What is the corrtion between the words of the God of Creation standing before our eyes and the abnormal phenomena, such as disasters, that have urred on Earth? As a result, those who have found a way to adapt to somewhat extreme environmental changes will inevitably gain a certain level of strength and undergo evolution to make it easier to determine their soul talent. Its none other than As time goes by, the Tower of Trials will appear in the world after going through a series of adaptation and evolution processes and forcibly bring in gemstones of talent that have even the slightest chance of bing transcendents. No matter how you think about it, it was clearly some kind of breeding n referring to the Earth dimension. Crackling! In an instant, my breathing became so rough that it was difficult to breathe, and my heart began to beat loudly. I already knew that the Tower of Trials did not allow me to be stronger by investing countless resources for no particr reason. However, despite this, the truth hidden beneath the creation of the Tower of Trials is so ugly that it makes you vomit. Is it just that I was exploited and yed around in a game that the Tower of Trials was designed from the beginning? Even before the Tower of Trials appeared, I had been used by others ording to their will. Ever since I lost my parents in Dungeon Break the other day, I have never once deviated from the nid out by the Tower of Trials. Even abnormal phenomena such as Dungeon Break were merely preliminary steps to bring about environmental changes that increased the concentration of mana in the Earths atmosphere I didnt be this strong thanks to the Tower of Trials? There was no other reason why I couldnt be stronger no matter what I did on my own. Well, of course, in the process, it may be necessary to temporarily restrict the growth of beings born with the spiritual talent to be transcendents so that they cannot be stronger beyond a certain level, but it is not that difficult. Measures to limit growth. In other words, the power of the system given by the Tower of Trials was nothing more than a trick to prevent me from bing stronger beyond a certain level by allowing me to be an awakened person. Even wasting seven years by not being able to be even the lowest level hunter was just what the Tower of Trials had intended. Then I. All my life, I just yed around on the board set by the Tower of Trials without knowing anything. What on earth did you climb the Tower of Trials for? Foolishly. under. At this point, I almost burst outughing. I have one final question I want to ask you. In response, I barely suppressed all the negative emotions boiling up likeva and opened my mouth to speak. [The God of Creation is willing to answer your question.] [Hmm. Youve been actively asking questions since a while ago. Well, you must have a lot of questions about many things. Okay, let me ask. As long as they are willing to be with me, I can give them any number of answers. ] I knew from the beginning that I was just ying on the stage of a y nned by the Tower of Trials, so there was something I wanted to ask. It is said that the phenomenon of inter-dimensional erosion promotes extreme environmental changes in the world, oppresses talented people, and summons them to the Tower of Trials. [ yes. ] They are just unable to resist you because they have not realized powers such as divinity or mana. If there is no such thing as the Tower of Trials, they can live a peaceful life. You cant deny that. [ hmm. well? I think its a story about a time when the world naturally disappears without being noticed by a higher god or a formal god Well, that makes some sense. so? ] Are you not feeling any remorse, sadness, or guilt? [.] I was curious. If the Tower of Trials had not intentionally created dimensional erosion phenomena such as dungeons and gates, countless people would have lived in peace. Even though I trained and pushed myself to the limit, I didnt know if I would have suffered from a mental breakdown due to feelings of self-destruction and inferiority at not being able to be stronger at all. In the future, many worlds will suffer because of the Tower of Trials. Many living things will die due to inter-dimensional erosion. Even after knowing that, you I couldnt bear to continue speaking, lowered my head and trailed off, and the God of Creation slowly answered, as if he also felt something. [The God of Creation nods his head with a bitter expression, acknowledging that what you said makes sense.] [Well, I guess thats what happens. This means forcibly turning a world that has never encountered magic, let alone divinity, into hell. The mana concentration on the will rise rapidly, and countless people will die. ] The God of Creation said that as if he was bitter. [Its truly sad. ] But. [But. ] That too was only for a moment. [The God of Creation tilts his head as if he does not understand the intention of your question.] [What do you mean by that? ] A confident tone that seems to suggest that something like that is a certain amount of damage that must be endured. what? [It is certainly sad that so many worlds are suffering and so many people are dying that even the units of numbers are out of sync. But I wonder if that is something to worry about, feeling remorse or suffering from guilt. ] . [Isnt that right? It is a great task to eliminate the wickedness of the gods from the countless worlds that exist throughout the universe. In order to save a great evil, some sacrifice is also required. There is no reason to be emotional when countless lives will be helped. ] What is that. I opened and closed my lips repeatedly, was silent for a few seconds, and then asked a question in a trembling tone, as if I couldnt believe it. Do you really think so? Because of the Tower of Trials, hell will spread across countless worlds, resulting in an uncontroble level of human casualties. Even those with natural spiritual talents are pushed into life-or-death hardships without any consideration at all, and they dont feel anything? I hoped this was something I had misheard, but the reality is cruel. [The God of Creation is embarrassed by your shallow thinking.] [Its not like you to empathize with trivial things. This is an issue where someone has to im to be the viin. I want you to know that if you suffer from trivial emotions such as remorse or guilt, you will only end up doing things wrong. ] This is an incredibly cold answer. [Well, you can me me right now. But lets assume that some time has passed. Countless worlds will be saved. No human being will fall to his death at the whim of a god, and mortals will not be persecuted for the sake of divinity or faith. ] In her answer, a huge emotion that could be called faith or a sense of duty was felt. [If you also have a noble heart for the mortals in the entire universe, you would be able to intuit that this is the right path to salvation, right? ] Is that why? under. Iughed. A noble heart? It is something that turns countless worlds into hell, ruins peoples lives and puts them at the crossroads of life and death just because they have natural talent. Ouch-! Is that right? The Tower of Trials only plunges countless worlds into the abyss of despair in order to make it easier to find those with spiritual talent who may be able to be transcendents. As the strong, they justify oppressing the weak, who are extremely weak, by packaging it up with nonsense, saying that it is their great cause or they are just pretending to be viins. Is this the right path to salvation? It was like that from the beginning. Even before climbing the Tower of Trials, I was despised for the sole reason that I could not be stronger despite countless efforts. If he had simply been chosen for the Tower of Trials, he would have been ridiculed and trampled just because he was a challenger from the Earth dimension without any unique technology to manipte mana. Are you telling me that as an excuse? Because he was a transcendental talent with natural talent, he became a clown in a y put on by the Tower of Trials. Kkuguguk-. Dont be a damn thing. I couldnt understand it. As I clenched my hands into fists and exerted too much force, my fingernails dug into my palms and blood flowed. When I came to my senses, I saw that I was forcing myself to stand up even though my body was staggering, with tears of blood flowing from my eyes. Ok. They just package the act of ying with the weak as they please as a great cause or salvation as a piece of trash, right? I gritted my teeth and held on, even though my vision was blurring and my breathing was getting harder. Hypocrite. [ . ] Was that something that the God of Creation did not like? [I am sure that the God of Creation has no intention of having you with him.] [In the end, even though I exined it to you so much, you still didnt understand anything about the Great Work or salvation. ] She turned back with a cold expression on her face, as if she had no more business with me. Jump and jump -. [The God of Creation is annoyed that he wasted his time.] [Then there is no need to waste time. ] Zech. The God of Creation ced his hand on a mass of pure power that was about to be the Tower of Trials created through the sacred realm . [The concept that forms the basis of divinity. There are only two rare cases in the entire universe, including you, that seed in having three or more divinity, so it would be a shame to miss it but theres nothing you can do about it. ] Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co! [Did you say he was the god of despair, fall, and madness? He too ims to be my close friend in order to be a transcendent. Even without you, there will be no problem in creating a transcendental artificially. Im sorry. ] The white air of divinity shines brightly. [From now on, a being close to the transcendent will impose a new order on the entire universe. ] Activating the divine , an attempt is made to create a structure close to the transcendent called the Tower of Trials. [The God of Creation bids you farewell with mockery.] [Good night, Dragon God of Transcendence and Death. ] And. [I will use the fragments of your divinity and soul that you will leave behind at the moment of your death to good use, so you can sleep in peace. ] The God of Creation continues speaking with a sneer on his face. [It seems like a very foolish person who kicked away the only opportunity to ascend to heaven. I cant wait to die.] The moment when the God of Creation tried to elevate the Tower of Trials in front of him into a transcendent structure. What an enemy! A strange thing happened. [Huh? ] It is none other than-. [The God of Creation widens his eyes and is astonished.] [ What on earth is this? ] It was simple. The Tower of Trials in front of you has not been able to be reborn as a being close to the transcendent and has stopped evolving at a clumsy level. As if there was a huge obstacle to moving forward, even though the divine was used to promote forced evolution, it did not work out. [The God of Creation feels very confused because something strange has happened.] [ Ugh!! Thats ridiculous!! Even if you cant be a transcendent, you should be able to create something close to a transcendent! Why has it suddenly be impossible to create a Tower of Trials? ] The God of Creation saw this and shouted as if he was very embarrassed, but it onlysted for a moment. [Why on earth has the phenomenon of deterioration due to the contradiction of existence been urring since before? There cant be another being thates close to being a transcendent like the Tower of Trials? What happened? ] She turned her head and looked this way with a pale face, as if she had instinctively found the right answer in the story she was telling. [The God of Creation is perplexed because he has seeded in detecting that nothing exists outside the.] [Why cant I feel the vast universe outside the world at all? ] It seems that they have started to realize, albeit btedly, that the Tower of Trials is nothing more than a virtual space created [The God of Creation looks at you and feels fear.] [ What on earth are you? ] Control over divinity and mana is slowly returning. well. I answered him with difficulty, shedding bloody tears. Dont you already guess that? [ . ] Just like that, I somehow walked forward with my eyes wide open, even though I couldnt see clearly. yes? From the beginning until now. Tower of Trials. There were no options. Havent we lived all our days being manipted by the strong just because we are the weak? However, after losing everything because of the Tower of Trials, only after the y ended and the curtain call began, I realized that, ironically, I had also be strong, not weak anymore. Jump and jump -. The y is over. I am you. [ . ] Dan. The sharpest weapon forged through countless trials solely to realize your ideal. Now, there was no intention of going down from the stage of the y created by the Tower of Trials. The y is over, but the actors are still on stage. Then it was simple. p- p- p-. In response, I slowly pped my hands and continued speaking with a tearful eye smile. therefore-. No one can go down the stage of this y until I finish the curtain call. That will be the case unless you choose one of the two: eithermit suicide by choosing to die yourself or die by me. This hateful apuse will not end until everyone who danced together on the stage of the y designed by the Tower of Trials faces the worst death. [The Dragon God of Transcendence and Death exudes unprecedented murderous intent andughs twistedly.] [I am the closest being to the Transcendent created by the Tower of Trials.] Absolutely. Chapter 478 478. Curtain Call (5) I suddenly remembered. Please select. Last Day. Will he transfer to the Pantheon and be a new god who rules over the Earth or other worlds and live peacefully under our protection? I was invited to the pantheon and was asked to join the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God as the new main deity. Or. And. Do you still want to be an uncertain transcendent in the Tower of Trials even though you could lose everything you have built so far? I felt it. Even if the Pantheon said they would protect me forever, I could no longer go back to the way I was before. Now it is toote to go back to Earth and feel happy and enjoy all kinds of wealth and glory as the new main deity and strongest person in the pantheon. I cant go back anymore. If I were to really ask the question, should I say its like a bow and arrow? Once the arrow leaves the string of the bow, it cannot hit the target and even if it breaks, it cannot go back. I also couldnt go back to the way I was before, regardless of whether I achieved what I wanted or not. I know that. That will be the case until all powerful people in the entire universe bow to my power. This is because I was disillusioned with my position as the weak, oppressed by the strong, which had umted even before I ascended the Tower of Trials. No matter what hardships and adversities maye in the future, we will not be able to stop until we surpass the horizon of being strong and reach transcendence. Whether you be a transcendent or fail to be a transcendent and perish, either way, it is a body that cannot stop until it reaches its final destination. I just move forward, entrusting myself to one absurd and shallow goal: to be a transcendental person and be an omnipotent and omnipotent god. I expect that many ancient gods residing in the pantheon, including the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness, will attack this side in the near future. Thats why I didnt stop moving forward, but in the end, it wasnt clear what I wanted to do when I finally became a transcendent. Really-. and. Thats funny. Is that why? I came this far and found a reason why I had to be a transcendent Pfft. At that, I shed bloody tears and smiled crookedly as if mocking him. Isnt this an incredibly ironic thing? [ . ] Standing in front of the God of Creation who had suddenly be like a stone statue, I continued speaking while breathing heavily. I am your wish itself. I admitted it. It is the sharpest weapon forged by the Tower of Trials to create a world without gods. The God of Creation standing before my eyes was like the Tower of Trials itself, and at the same time, he was the one who created me into who I am today. As a God yer, it is now possible for me to destroy even the immortality of the ancient Godhead. Even if the Tower of Trials pushed countless worlds into the abyss of hell and suppressed and raised those with exceptional spiritual talent, that fact would never change. So I am saying that the Tower of Trials is the closest weapon to the Transcendent that the God of Creation was trying to create. Ill admit it. In other words, the Tower of Trials, as designed by the God of Creation, ultimately seeded in nurturing a virtually perfect God yer using my souls talents as the main axis. It was not wrong to say that one day they would create a transcendental person through the Tower of Trials. step-. yes? [ . ] Thats all. As it was, I continued tough with bloody tears streaming from my eyes. Even in situations where the field of view was not properly secured, theughter did not stop and the excitement arose along with the feeling that something was creaking somewhere in the head. Sze-. In response, I took a breath, barely raised my right hand to roughly wipe away the bloody tears that were blocking my vision, and spoke in a whisper. okay. As you said, if there had not been an inter-dimensional erosion phenomenon, I would not have even realized magical power, let alone divine power. It is clear that he lived his whole life as an ordinary human being and then died. It was true. Originally, on Earth, powers such as divinity or mana did not exist, so if it were not for the Tower of Trials, I would not have realized the power of mana. And once I decided not to deny that fact any longer, I felt cold anger consume my entire body. So, its a promise. As it was, I spoke calmly as if dering without making any facial expression. I will destroy everything. Before I knew it, I felt myselfughing uncontrobly, as if a screw had been missing from my head. I will destroy the Tower of Trials, the trash from the pantheon, and the dregs that did not be transcendents without leaving a single trace. Originally, the Tower of Trials and the God of Creation would have wanted me to be a transcendent and annihte the gods that exist throughout the universe, but I have no intention of doing so. The ancient deities of the Tower of Trials and the Pantheon, as well as the trash that did not be transcendents called gods of despair, fall, and madness, will be killed without leaving even a single trace. That wish will nevere true in my lifetime. Noints? [ . ] never. [The Dragon God of Transcendence and Deathughs with pure malice.] [Because you started all of this from the beginning. ] But. [No. No, no, no!! This is this!! This is ridiculous!! A god yer created by the Tower of Trials? you? ] From their perspective, did the story progress somewhat abruptly? [The God of Creation looks at you and feels extremely confused.] [Thats a lie, right? ] The God of Creations eyes trembled as if an earthquake had urred and he asked this question in a voice filled with all kinds of emotions. well? I answered him with a lightugh, without any intention of persuading or ridiculing him. Well, if what I said seems like a lie, it doesnt matter if you think so. It was natural. No matter what they say from now on, what happens next will not change. Even if the God of Creation, who created the Tower of Trials,es forward and makes excuses, what I have to do from now on will not change. Lets get started. Then, I stopped apuding as I looked at the other person who hade up onto the stage of the y again, and I barely used the power of divinity and mana to unleash my power. [The Transcendence Myth is activated.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons movements will be affected by the sacred effect of .] [When activating the Holy , the speed of Superlight may vary depending on the users capabilities. You can perform movements that reach .] [? This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.] [ From now on, the divine effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.] [What is the situation? Even if it is a condition, it bes possible to forcibly activate a specific ability.] [ However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the closer the situation and conditions are, the greater the recoil from use of the effect.] [? The effect is effective immediately after activation . You will pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.] And. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! At that moment, I activated the divine effect Force of the transcendent myth and forcibly adjusted my condition so that I could fight again. Deddude-! In the blink of an eye, the power of divinity and mana rushed through my body to a level no different from before. A situation in which excessive force was exerted as soon as the power of divinity and mana could be used even a little. If things continued like this, there was a high chance that I would not be able to ovee the recoil of the use of Force Force, the sacred effect of the Transcendence Myth , and would copse. The sacred effect Forced Power of the Transcendent Myth has a supernormal ability that allows you to force the use of power, but requires you to pay some kind of corresponding price. The solution is simple. That also means that I can activate the Transcendent Myth and pay the price for my forced effort. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! Currently, I have used the divine , the divine , and the divine as the basis of my deity. As the dragon god of transcendence and death, he was able to wield power equivalent to that of the three ancient gods. Even though I knew that, I offered the sacred without a moment of hesitation. Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-! The definition of the concept of the divinity itself begins to waver, and the hierarchy of divinity itself, which was achieved as an ancient deity, is in danger. doesnt care. Even if you sacrifice a portion of the sacred in return for the recoil of the sacred effect Force of the transcendental myth , there is no problem in engaging in battle right now. This is enough for now. Even if you gain power equivalent to the three ancient gods, it is only meaningful if you survive and clear the ordeal. Even if the hierarchy of divinity is somewhat lowered, everything ends here. In an instant, I targeted the replica of the Tower of Trials and the God of Creation and used various skills and powers such as power myths. Tsutsutsu! Not only was a storm of divinity and mana raging around the ce where I was standing, but it was also starting to condense into overwhelming physical power. [The God of Creation is astonished that you are already ready to fight.] [ Pfft! He must have been in no condition to fight because of the consequences of abusing his divine supernormal ability!! How on earth did he regain his strength so far!! ] Could it be that I never thought that this side would be able to engage in a fight right now? Suddenly, the God of Creation shouted in shock and confusion at the same time. There was no answer. Because there is no need. . In a world stained with gray, I boldly unleashed overwhelming power while holding the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Blood Heavenly Sword. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! In the blink of an eye, sword strikes at the speed of light rained down in thousands of different trajectories, and I felt that the relics rted to survival or defense possessed by the God of Creation were quickly being consumed. [The God of Creation is frightened by a transcendent power beyond yourmon sense.] [Ha ha ha!! Now wait a minute! Please, please, listen to me! I may not be your enemy!! ] She seemed to be asking for a conversation to buy time, perhaps because she knew that, but there was no need to ept it. . In response, I walked lightly in the gray world and quietlynded and stood on the replica that failed to be the Tower of Trials. Its sloppy. [!! ] In fact, there was no need to continuously attack and kill the God of Creation in an irritating manner. Kak-! I guess this contains all the divinity and soul power that they gathered so desperately during the war between the gods? If this replica, which failed to be the Tower of Trials and has been frantically umting divinity and soul power during the war of gods with the power of the sacred realm , disappears, she will no longer be able to freely create holy relics with sacred . A situation that cannot be paid. The role of repairing and maintaining the divine confrontation world to perpetuate the war of the gods is also yed by the remnants that did not be the Tower of Trials. In response, I wiped away the bloody tears that were drying on my face with the back of my hand, smiled crookedly, and slowly thrust the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and Break Heaven Sword downward. Then if this thing breaks, isnt it obvious what will happen in the future? [ Now wait a minute!! That is absolutely uneptable! ] The next moment. Checkmate. Oh my gosh! In the blink of an eye, not only the divine abilities, including the divine , the divine , and the divine , but also the divine power-exclusive powers were activated, and the replica that failed to be the Tower of Trials was horribly destroyed. Patter! ordingly, the moment when the power of divinity and soul flows out from the remains of a replica that is too clumsy to be considered a Tower of Trials. Cheeeeeeeeeeeee-. Thats boring. [ . ] Perhaps because the storehouse where power could be stored was lost due to the power of the sacred realm , all the fragments of divinity and soul ended up flowing to the God of Creation. Sssss-. Since power can no longer be stored in the Tower of Trials in the sacred realm , is that the one that stores and handles power now? When I saw that, I narrowed my eyes and turned my head with a smile on my face. Thats fun. and. A being with the power ofbining the divinity and souls of the three ancient deities, such as the God of Time and the God of Light That means only one thing. [The Dragon God of Transcendence and Death smiles coldly as he looks at his prey who has been reduced to the weak.] [I am starting to look forward to what I will get after killing you.] It was a hunt. Chapter 479 479. Trigger (1) Goooooooooooooooooo! The storehouse of power, which had failed to be the Tower of Trials, was instantly destroyed, and the divinity and soul energy quickly returned to the owner. Deddude-! Is it because in order to establish the war of gods, a divine confrontation world was created and a vast amount of divine and soul power was secretly umted in the sacred realm without anyone noticing? [The God of Creation grits his teeth at the overwhelming power pouring upon him.] [Ugh!! ] The divinity is like a lump of pure power, and the image of it letting out a pain-filled sound as fragments of the soul violently flow into the God of Creation, like the stopper of a bathtub full of water has been removed. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! Just by returning the fragments of divinity and soul from the storehouse of power that was shattered by the destruction of the God of Creation, harsh winds blow from all directions and a disaster apanied by physical force urs. is it true that we are fully prepared to create a being equivalent to the transcendental called the Tower of Trials? I felt it. How meticulously the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles have prepared a n for this moment when the Tower of Trials will be created. While climbing the Tower of Trials, I have seen people with divinity or soul power equivalent to that of a, but even they pale inparison to the God of Creation who stands before them. I cant even imagine how much divinity and soul energy was coveted from the sacred realm during the war between the gods. In fact, in a way, this may be a natural thing to say. In the war of gods, not only the three ancient gods, the God of Time, or the God of Light died. Havent high-ranking deities and powerful deities at the level of formal deities also died in countless numbers? The sacred realm is a situation in which the God of Creation has harvested everything from those who died in the realm of divine confrontation, scattering the fragments of their divinity and soul through the phenomenon of posthumous extinction. Thats disgusting. Therefore, the energy of divinity and soul that the God of Creation had umted in the sacred realm was inevitably thatrge. Chak-. Inded in front of her after confirming that all the divine and spiritual energy had permeated the God of Creation. . If we were to be honest, the God of Creation could have killed him by surprise before he seeded in absorbing all of his divinity and soul energy. Theres no need to rush. But it didnt. Isnt the reward for clearing the trials of the Tower of Trials itself allowing you to absorb the ghost of one of the strong men killed during the War of the Gods? If the God of Creation had killed the person while notpletely epting the divinity and energy of the soul, there was a possibility that the power to be extracted from the spirit through necromancy would also be downgraded to that extent. If youre lucky, you may gain quite a few divine abilities in the process of epting the divine and soul energy. Wouldnt it be more advantageous to eatrge prey, even if it requires some waiting, rather than eating small prey? First of all, in terms of the total amount of power itself, he is an arranger who holds an overwhelming advantage even whenpared to beings such as a dark god, a demon god, or a dragon god. At that, I narrowed my eyes, barely able to control my anger and hatred, and quietly assessed the opponents strength. Currently, the God of Creation has absorbed all the divinity and soul energy gained from the war between the gods, and the total amount of power itself has reached an unprecedented level. Even if they were real monsters like the three ancient gods, their total power would not be greater than that of the God of Creation standing in front of them. Wow-. Is that why? Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! [The God of Creation looks at you and clenches his teeth, expressing hostility.] [Actually, from the first time I met you, I thought something was strange. ] Suddenly, unlike before, the God of Creation was expressing pure hostility rather than the fear of being killed by me in an instant or his intention to resolve the matter through persuasion and dialogue, or the wariness he felt towards an overwhelming enemy. [If there was an ancient deity of your level somewhere in the universe, everyone would have had no choice but to know about your existence, whether they liked it or not] I staggered as if I had barely seeded in keeping the divine and soul energy under control. He looks venomously ring at me. [It wasnt like that. No one knew about you. There was a bizarreck of information. Its as if you are a virtual being that doesnt exist in this universe. ] The God of Creation bit his lips tightly and continued speaking as if he had encountered an unbelievable fact. [ No. no. Is it actually the opposite? Now I understand why the three ancient gods, as well as beings such as the God of Light and the God of Time, were so obsessed with you. ] And [The God of Creation realizes the hidden truth and expresses despair.] [ The truth is, you were real and we were fake. ] She parted her lips again with eyes filled with mixed emotions, as if she had realized something after hearing what she had said. [The War of the Gods was a story that ended a long time ago. Ipleted Tower of Trials in the distant past. So right now, this is just a matter of ruminating on past information. ] This is the answer that is closest to the truth than any other ancient deity seen in the war of gods. I wasnt particrly surprised about the fact itself. Thats because he was the one who created the Tower of Trials. Rather, it was never toote to guess. [ But even so, the fact that it can reproduce the records of the past with such precision is proof that the Tower of Trials has gained power equivalent to that of the Transcendant] However, that is only for a moment. [The God of Creation realizes that your story is true and his expression distorts.] [ I guess the story that you are the closest thing to a transcendent being ever created by the Tower of Trials is also true.] Suddenly, I realized that the God of Creation standing before me hadpletely epted the divinity and power of the soul, and I parted my lips. I cant believe Ive just found out that not only the three ancient gods, but even the God of Time and the God of Light were all aware of it to some degree. The moment Iughed at him and responded to him with a sneer on my lips. That is something to be very happy about. The God of Creation widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and answered. [ Yes, it is something to be happy about. In fact, the Tower of Trials waspleted a long time ago, and the training of the transcendental that I so desperately wanted seems to be close to sess. But that too will happenter. ] Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo-! In the blink of an eye, the story resumed again as divine and spiritual powers began to swirl around the God of Creation. [The God of Creation feels strange towards you.] [ How on earth are you not subordinate to the Tower of Trials? ] Its almost as if he has confidence that he will not lose even if he fights against this side. [I would have given orders to the Tower of Trials to take measures to prevent even one being with the talent and qualifications to be a transcendent from falling into self-indulgence, right? ] Puhwaag-! As the divine and spiritual energy rushed like a storm, a sharp wind that felt as if my skin would be torn off blew through my entire body. [Whether it is mental restraint or indirect management, it would be normal for the divine hierarchy to have no antipathy towards me or be able to maintain its sanity when it reaches that level] At the same time, the God of Creation gave a cold look in his eyes. The words were spoken in a tone as if one were talking about a defective product. [Even aftering all the way here, seeing the Tower of Trials and the petty desire for revenge, it seems like something is going wrong somewhere. ] Did he realize that there was nothing he could do about this through persuasion or conversation? [The God of Creation has decided not to show you any more mercy.] [I guess you dont want to talk or negotiate with me any more. So I wont put mercy in my hands either. ] Either that, or did they decide that they could eliminate this side without difficulty since they had gathered all the divinity and soul energy gathered in the battlefield called the War of the Gods in one go? [Even if I, who am standing here, am nothing more than a fake and not the real thing, what I have to do doesnt change. ] It doesnt really matter either way. [Even before I created the Tower of Trials, I was also looking into ways to artificially cultivate people with the talent and qualifications to be transcendents. ] obviously. [ In the past, we even seeded in an experiment ofbining three or more divinity, the concept that forms the basis of divinity, so even if it is not you, we will be able to create a transcendent one someday. ] The god of despair, fall, and madness. I think its probably a story about the remnants created by the Tower of Trials who didnt be transcendents Even if youre not a god of despair, fall, and madness, the Tower of Trials is a ce where you can have the talent and talents to be transcendents like in Battlefield of the Gods. There are several testing centers that artificially form qualifications. [There are enough spares just in case. ] And perhaps because of that, the God of Creation no longer even thought about conciliating this side and expressed his hostile intention topletely exclude them. [Defective products are specifications. ] and. Hahahaha! ordingly, the moment when the God of Creation activates the divine and emits a swarm of light specialized for killing that can destroy the divinity and soul energy and the very concept of divinity. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! The space in all directions was distorted, and at the same time, an incredibly ferocious power that could obliterate everything shone. Wow! It was truly a force of destruction. An absolute power that cannot be safely withstood even by strong men such as the three ancient gods of darkness or the demon dragon god. It gave off an extremely bloody atmosphere, as if it was flowing from the God of Creation and would crush the world itself. [Someone like you should not be a transcendental person. My mistakes will end here. ] Jeopuk Jeopuk-! The God of Creation walked towards where I was standing with powerful steps and expressed his chilling murderous intent. [The God of Creation shes his cool eyes, confident of his own victory.] [ Here, I will dispose of it without leaving a single trace ] And [The Transcendent Myth is strongly activated. ] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons movements will be subject to the sacred effect of .] [ When activating the Holy , depending on the users capabilities, movements reaching superlight speed can be achieved.] [ ? This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.] [From now on, the sacred effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.] [No matter what the situation or condition is, it is possible to forcibly activate a specific ability. bes possible.] [ However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the closer the situation and conditions are, the greater the recoil from use of the effect.] [ ? The effect incurs the price of defying the existing providence in any way immediately after activation. [You will have to pay.] The moment when all kinds of divine supernormal abilities, myths, skills, powers, etc. that could not be used because they did not meet the conditions for use are activated all at once due to the divine effect Force of the transcendent myth . . As the world-wiping apocalyptic light shed, the fastest sword strike Ive ever seen split the opponents body in half. Kwaziik-! That too for sure. Chapter 480 480. Percussion (2) The direction of the game was decided. Currently, it is said that the God of Creation cannot create the Tower of Trials because it is fake and not real, but the energy of divinity and soul has umted to an unprecedented level. Even though the God of Creations divine ability of is a power specialized for production, notbat, if the power of divinity and soul were so enormous, it was possible to force it to be used in battle. I won. Very strong too. Even if all three ancient gods attack together, it would be nearly impossible to defeat me now. By activating the sacred , he unleashed the sacred power specialized in destruction, destroying the supernormal abilities of the divine and the very definition of the concept of divinity engraved on it. No matter how strong he is as an ancient god, he can no longer show the same power as before when he has abused his power to that extent. Moreover, the God of Transcendence and Death was virtually exhausted after dealing with the God of Darkness, the God of Demons, the God of Time, and the God of Light. Whether it is a divine supernormal ability or a mythical ability, it is only a temporary use of power, like a light shining brighter just before it goes out. Of course, the power of the God of Transcendence and Death had to be beyondmon sense. Isnt that why the God of Creation also tried to recruit the ancient god closest to the Transcendent as his colleague? However, regardless of that, the God of Transcendence and Death clearly knew that the Tower of Trials was beyond his control. The worst defective products produced by the Tower of Trials must be disposed of here. Because the author is the most suitable being to be a transcendent, the risk has be even higher. Since the Tower of Trials was training talented people to eliminate all beings who had achieved the hierarchy of divinity, it was necessary to have control, such as a leash or reins. Even if the Tower of Trials seeds in nurturing a transcendent, wouldnt everything be in vain if the transcendent himself doesnt agree to building a world without gods? The god of transcendence and death. He is so dangerous. Even if there is a high possibility of bing a transcendent, I cannot be with you. Even though it is nothing more than a fake, it is necessary to take action now when the God of Creation can make a sound judgment. The Tower of Trials was a structure close to the transcendent that was built in return for sacrifices to the God of Creation. Of course, some of the consciousness and ego of the God of Creation reside in the Tower of Trials, but it is a kind of posthumous change. If the Tower of Trials was built as I thought, neither I nor the God of Law or the God of Miracles would exist in the real world out there. Its not even just that. The Tower of Trials was designed to be reborn as a being close to the transcendent and could create new absolutews in the universe, but there was a corresponding price. In order to sublimate the rules created by divine and divine ws> and divine into the absolutews of the universe, the Tower of Trials also has a penalty of having to follow the rules andws it has created. Even if a person has the talent and qualifications to be a transcendent, the reason why the Tower of Trials cannot tamper with it even though it is outside the controble area is probably due to restrictions. In order to create the Tower of Trials, I spent a very long time thinking and wandering. If the Tower of Trials was created as the God of Creation intended, this would be the only opportunity to dispose of the God of Transcendence and Death. Although she herself knew that it was fake and not real, she focused on eliminating risk variables in order toplete the great n rather than on whether it was real or fake. Whether Im real or fake, this moment will be the only opportunity to eliminate that dangerous molecule instead of the Tower of Trials. One day, the Tower of Trials will seed in creating a transcendent in some way, even if he is not the god of transcendence and death. Even if the Tower of Trials would waste countless years meaninglessly in the future, it was right to remove the God of Transcendence and Death from here. After all, it would be better not to have a hunting dog that doesnt listen to its owner. Ill kill you. After finishing his thoughts, the God of Creation began to move with a clear killing intent. First, lets secure the line of sight and find out where the gods of transcendence and death are And huh? Realized. wait for a sec. Something felt strange. Since when did I close my eyes? Beings who have achieved a hierarchy of divinity, such as the original God of Creation, should not feel ufortable in understanding external information even without using their physical senses. Why cant I see or hear anything since a while ago? But it wasnt so. The God of Creation felt that not only was his physical senses paralyzed, but he could not handle any powering from his divinity or soul. No thats not all I dont have any memories of fighting with the god of transcendence and death Whats more, she only has memories of the time before she entered the fight, and she only has memories of the time before she went into battle. I had no memory of how I specifically fought with God and ended up in the current situation. Are you in a state of delirium? Only then did the God of Creation think about his situation again and feel chills. Wouldnt it be a big deal if, among the divine abilities hidden by the god of transcendence and death, there was a power specialized for mental confusion or copse? The God of Creation btedly opened his eyes with great effort and began making every effort to resist the mental attack. You have to wake up! Is it thanks to that? Ugh. The God of Creation felt his eyes open and his vision return, followed by his hearing, albeit slightly. done. For now, since we have seeded in escaping the mental attack of the God of Transcendence and Death we just need to counterattack as quickly as possible But coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! It was strange. An incredibly bizarre sight, with the sky splitting and the ground copsing, as if the itself was copsing. That was the scene the God of Creation saw as soon as he opened his eyes, and as his physical senses began to return quickly over time, he was able to see more. Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The world was stained with sacred and was facing extinction without even a single attempt of resistance. h h h h h-! The was copsing. By activating the divine confrontation system and numerous divine abilities, the strength and lifespan of the itself were forcibly raised beyond the limit, but it was not enough. The world created for the war between the gods, created by thebined efforts of the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, copses like a sandcastle in front of the waves. Twajijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji! It was the end of the world. Cough-. Thats not all. The God of Creation realized that the end of the world had arrived and at the same time felt blood gushing out of his mouth. The power of the divinity and the soul was almostpletely exhausted and showing signs of exhaustion, and even the total amount of power that remained was stained with the divinity and was disappearing by the moment. I felt empty. Sze-. The moment the God of Creation lowered his head with difficulty, feeling an ominous premonition. [The God of Creation realizes his situation.] [Ah] The sight of her upper and lower bodypletely separated and separated came into view. No matter how much you raise your divinity or mana power, the damage to your body cannot be repaired. With that, the God of Creation vaguely realized how all this had happened. I lost? It was lost as soon as it started. For the first andst time, the direction of the game was decided by a single sword strike swung by the god of transcendence and death. Even relics with survival-specific evasion or defense abilities were helplessly shattered by that single sword strike. It wasnt even an opponent from the beginning It was an overwhelming power that reached the pinnacle of violence, surpassing even the three ancient deities of the universe. At that time, the God of Creations upper and lower bodies were separated and he lost consciousness. If it were not for the divinity and soul power umted in the sacred realm during the War of the Gods and the high-level relics specialized for survival, he would not have fainted but died instantly. Theres no way something like that would be possible Of course. Jump and jump -. At a time when he was able to demonstrate a power that surpassed even the three ancient gods, the being that was slowly approaching him from in front of him had surpassed the level that could be measured by the hierarchy of divinity. [The God of creation feels vain.] [.] And . You said you would dispose of me here without leaving a trace, right? Doesnt that mean only one thing? Why dont you say that again now? [ . ] Its no different [The god of transcendence and death looks down at the loser andughs.] [ CWell, no matter how much they cry, nothing will change. ] Han Seong-yoon. God of transcendence and death. It meant that he had reached a realm beyond the hierarchy of divinity, almost on the verge of bing a transcendent, and was qualified to challenge for ascension. *** Dude! In the blink of an eye, the world prepared for the war of the gods itself is destroyed. Originally, in the war between the gods, even when all the ancient gods ran rampant together, they did not break down It was expected that this would happen at the point when they gained overwhelming power that surpassed even the three ancient gods. Well, I paid a pricemensurate with my power, so its not that strange. Of course, the price of wielding a power that surpasses those of the three ancient gods is high. The divine name was expanded by using the divine , the divine , and the divine as the foundation of the godhead, but this is no longer possible. The sacred and sacred were not particrly damaged, but permanent damage urred to the sacred , and only a weak level of power remained. You may lose the sacred by handing over a fragment of the sacred to the real Dragon God outside the Tower of Trials. In fact, the sacred no longer had a high enough value for this side to covet it. This is the price of activating the divine effect Forced Power of the transcendent myth and forcibly using the divine supernormal ability, exclusive spells, and even the abilities of the myth. However, the status of divinity and soul itself, which rose through the interlocking of divinity , divinity , and divinity , is still maintained, so the growth of power itself has not disappeared. I should be satisfied with the fact that I have achieved the same level of divinity and soul status as the three ancient gods. And at the same time, aftering out of my thoughts, I slightly raised my head and looked beyond the sky. h h h h h-! Currently, the divine confrontation system established in the sky is also breaking apart like a cracked window with the end of the world. Tuk. When I saw that, I looked down at the God of Creation, who was lying down with his upper and lower body separated, and I parted my lips and spoke. Perhaps in the next few minutes, the war of the gods wille to aplete end. [ . ] You know? The reason why the War of the Gods was established was because it was possible to confine numerous gods in this narrow cage through the divine confrontation system. If there were no divine confrontation, there would be no reason for the war of gods to continue. [. ] Thats it. Then, I continued speaking as I watched the divinitys great ne break apart in the sky and the divinitys fragments rained down like a meteor shower. The condition for clearing the trials set by the Tower of Trials was that you had to survive until the end of the War of the Gods. Perhaps the God of Creation is the one who created the Tower of Trials, so he knows what this means. Do you understand? I will kill you here and return to the Tower of Trials. From now on, I will not grant a single wish from the Tower of Trials. Havent you discovered with utmost perfection the disgusting truth hidden by the Tower of Trials? The Tower of Trials did everything in its power to select those born with the talent and qualifications to be transcendents and raise them as hunting dogs. Up until now, I had only yed as a clown on the stage of the y set by the Tower of Trials. I knew for sure that the Tower of Trials had brought in monsters from other dimensions in order to drastically increase the mana concentration of the Earth, and had evenpletely taken away my right to be strong. [It was an inevitable sacrifice of the few for the many] I guess so. [ . ] I gave him a cold smile, then parted my lips and spoke again. Saying that it is salvation or the greater good, you, as the strong, have justified trampling on the weak. Every day that I thought it was luck or an opportunity that the Tower of Trials had chosen me as a challenger, I felt absolutely hateful. I thought I was able toe this far thanks to the Tower of Trials, but in reality it was almost the exact opposite. The Tower of Trials did not give us an opportunity to be stronger. Even if the Tower of Trials had not existed, if the worlds mana concentration had reached a certain level, I would have be an ancient god thanks to my souls talent. If the Tower of Trials had not gathered monsters from other dimensions to increase the mana concentration of the Earth dimension, he could have lived as an ordinary person, enjoying small happiness. So But that didnt happen. It means that just as the strong side trampled the weak at will, I will do the same. Then there was only one thing to do. Its simple, right? This side will attempt to ascend to heaven by sacrificing the gods of despair, fall, and madness along with the ancient gods of the pantheon who do not want to be transcendents. Look forward. And [The god of transcendence and death deres in a confident tone that he will be a transcendent.] [Because the day I challenge for ascension and be a transcendent will be the moment when the Tower of Trials is destroyed. ] Swish-! The moment I swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Heaven Sword without even listening to the God of Creations answer. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The end of the world elerated, the sky and the earth split apart, and the entire copsed, causing a huge explosion. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 36th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [ will be sent to your inventory as a breakthrough reward.] [You have obtained 5000000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [You have obtained 500000 SP as a breakthrough reward. .] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Blood of those who longed for ascension (SSS+) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] Now it is time to return to the Tower of Trials. Chapter 481 481. Trigger (3) A system message appears in front of you, and at the same time, the entire space is twisted and changed. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 36th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a breakthrough reward, will be sent to your inventory.] [You have obtained 5000000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [You have obtained 500000 SP as a breakthrough reward. .] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Blood of Those Who Aspired to Ascension (SSS+) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] With the end of the world, heaven and earth opened and a huge explosion urred that swept the entire. Everything disappeared due to the transition of space. [.] [Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] is activated.] [The level of reward increases by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward].] [Additional breakthrough reward to the 36th floor Blood of those who longed for Ascension (SSS+) is strengthened to Desperation of those who longed for Ascension (SSS+).] ordingly, the moment when this side raised the level of the reward for clearing the trial by increasing the reward. Chak-. Before I knew it, I realized that I had arrived at the waiting room, a private space provided to challengers by the Tower of Trials. . It was quiet. This was even more so because, just a few tens of seconds ago, we were witnessing the end of a stars life, shattering the world itself. Not only had he killed two of the three ancient gods, but he had also fought fierce battles with high-level ancient gods such as the God of Time and the God of Light, which felt like an illusion. Its as quiet as a lie. It didnt feel real. The fact that he survived the war of the gods and eventually returned after finding out how the Tower of Trials was created is still not fully understood. However, despite this, the various emotions I felt while encountering the three ancient gods in the War of the Gods and learning the secrets rted to the Tower of Trials did not fade at all. But I havent forgotten anything that happened earlier. Wow-. Rather, it is the opposite. Even if I hadnt climbed the Tower of Trials, I still had the natural talent to one day be an ancient god and establish myself as one of the lords of the universe. A whirlpool of emotions consisting of anger and hatred rages like a storm. The Tower of Trials was not helping this side be stronger, but was simply raising good hunting dogs for its own use. As I climbed the Tower of Trials, I heard that I was able to be this strong because I was a challenger chosen by numerous powerful enemies for the Tower of Trials, but in reality, it was close to the exact opposite. From the beginning, I was nothing more than a disposable hound to the Tower of Trials. It was disgusting. The Tower of Trials provided the optimal opportunity for challengers to be stronger, but it only stimted the development of the capabilities of individuals born with natural talent. In fact, this means that the majority of the candidates carefully selected by the Tower of Trials through selection process were those who would have achieved a high hierarchy of divinity even if there was no such thing as a tower. Its no different from other challengers selected by the Tower of Trials. Moreover, even if they were not candidates whom the Tower of Trials treated as special beings among the challengers, their situation was not particrly different. Most of the challengers who climb the Tower of Trials are probably just scapegoats for the candidates. Somehow it made meugh. This is because I thought I was able to be stronger because I had the opportunity to climb the Tower of Trials. In fact, it was quite the opposite, as he lost everything and had no choice but to pursue strength due to the Tower of Trials. under. And you remember correctly what I said earlier, right? Just like that, I gave a cold smile and said to someone who was watching the waiting room from afar. Look forward to it. The day I challenge for ascension and be a transcendent will be the moment when the Tower of Trials is destroyed. This reminds me of the promise I whispered to the God of Creation. There isnt much time left until I challenge for ascension and be a transcendent. I was sure. This feeling of anger and hatred, deeply engraved in ones heart, does not disappear until one challenges the ascension to be a transcendental person, destroys the Tower of Trials, and is reborn as the Absolute One of the universe. Even if the nonsense that the Tower of Trials turned itself into a viin for noble ideas is true, as the God of Creation said, what I will do from now on will not change. So Never. Wait until then. The moment I open my inventory to obtain the reward for clearing the ordeal. ! In an instant, something as pale as pitch ck poured out of the empty space, emitting an overwhelming presence. Gooooooooooooooooooooo! That means only one thing. Tower of Trials. Its none other than. [The god of transcendence and death gives a twisted smile with his eyes shining coldly.] [The moment I seed in ascending to transcendence, I will kill you first. ] War of the Gods. He personally killed not only the dark god and demon god belonging to the three ancient gods, but also the god of time, the god of light, and the god of creation. The jet-ck fog that appeared before my eyes was a miraculous opportunity given as a reward for clearing the ordeal to select and absorb one of the monster-like spirits of the powerful. *** Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo on! Something simr to the spirits obtained as a reward for clearing trials in the War of the Gods filled the waiting room. By activating necromancy, it will be possible to obtain the spirits of two of the three ancient deities, the god of time, the god of light, or the god of creation. I also sense that the myth will be activated at the moment of extracting and absorbing the dead spirit through necromancy. . And. Did he step down? I could feel that the Tower of Trials suddenly took its gaze from the waiting room and disappeared somewhere. If I were to be honest, the Tower of Trials probably retreated after realizing that I could sense the observation ability on the other side, rather than fleeing because of the deration made just now. After acquiring the divinity during the war of gods, I realized that secretly observing it was close to impossible because the status of this divinity and soul had grown to the same level as the three ancient gods. Well, even if it were me, I wouldnt have felt the need to stay here. To be honest, even if the Tower of Trials continues to spy on this ce, nothing will change. Maybe after the Tower of Trials retreats from here, they cane up with some sort of n, but it wont be anything particrly great. Because it is almost impossible for the Tower of Trials to directly harm the challenger, it will only be possible to influence it indirectly. Hwiik-. In response, I activated necromancy and gathered the jet-ck fog flowing in all directions into my palm and continued my thoughts. The strongest sanction that the Tower of Trials can impose on me now would be to prevent me from quickly bing stronger by clearing the trials. If the Tower of Trials were toe up with a n to eliminate this side, it would inevitably mean mobilizing beings stronger than the three ancient gods, but that wouldnt be possible, right? You dont even need to worry about it. What we need to be wary of is not the Tower of Trials, but the gods of despair, fall, and madness, as well as the hostile powers in the pantheon. Nothing has changed yet, so theres nothing to react to. With a faint sneer, I looked at the huge collection of power gathered underwater. . I was worried. During the War of the Gods, they not only killed two of the three ancient gods, but they also killed the God of Time, the God of Light, and the God of Creation. Therefore, it was difficult toe to a conclusion as to which of themands of the cosmic powers that showed such monstrous power would be chosen. The ancient gods I killed in the War of the Gods were all powerful or possessed great power that made them rare. Sssss-. If you were to choose based on pure strength as a criterion for judgment, it would be right to absorb the spirits of the dark gods or demon gods, known as the three ancient gods. Of the three ancient deities, there was nothing to say about the God of Darkness and the Demon God. The sacred and the sacred were rare concept supernormal abilities even in the entire universe. The divine supernormal ability itself was enormous, but if we also considered the divinity and the power of the soul within it, we could obtain infinite strength. If you want divine abilities that are more rare than the overwhelming strength of the three ancient gods, you should choose either the God of Time or the God of Light. If you do not use strength purely as a criterion for judgment, your options expand beyond that. Even though they did not have the power of two of the three ancient gods, the God of Time and the God of Light were also great in their own way. The divinity Divine Except But thats probably all. Not only was there a need for the pure strength of two of the three ancient gods, but there was also no particr need for the rare concept of divinity possessed by the God of Time or the God of Light. In fact, at the point where I had the level of divinity and soul equivalent to the three ancient deities, I no longer needed their power. The same was true for the God of Time and the God of Light. Even if one can obtain outstanding conceptual abilities by adjusting the definition and scope of the specific concepts symbolized by the sacred But the power of the God of Creation was not like that. The God of Creation gathered an unprecedented level of divinity and soul power to create the Tower of Trials with his divine . Wow-. Moreover, the God of Creation tried to create a being close to the transcendent by engraving divine ws> and divine into the Tower of Trials with divine . It was natural. Even though it did not be the Tower of Trials, the powers that the God of Creation engraved upon it by activating the divine did not disappear. At that time, the God of Creation would have destroyed the storehouse of power that did not be the Tower of Trials that he had built in the sacred realm . At the point when I destroyed the reservoir of power that did not be the Tower of Trials, the God of Creation would have activated the divine and even obtained the powers that he wanted to engrave into the tower. Didnt the God of Creation return the power that the Tower of Trials should have had? In fact, obtaining and absorbing the death that urred when the God of Creation died means gaining the power of the early Tower of Trials. There is no need to pursue pure power with Holy or Holy , or to create a trump card by refining Holy Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Even if you are unlucky, not only will you gain powerful divine abilities, but your level of divinity and soul will rise tremendously, and if you are lucky, it will be possible to gain even more power. This is the moment when we strongly wish to activate necromancy and gain the power of the God of Creation. Tsutsutsu-! It was done. [.] [Absorbed the spirit of the spear god .] [Challenger Han Seong-yoon is gone? # to [transcendence] by winning against the enemy! Are you ?% closer@*$?.] And.

Ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg! The door to ascension was opened. Chapter 482 482. Trigger (4) [.] [Final condition satisfied.] [[Transcendence] obtained through the myth has reached 100%.] [In order for the myth to be a transcendent We begin our ascension beyond the hierarchy of divinity.] Gugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg! The door to ascension was opened. Paaaa-! The Gate of Ascension is not a metaphor or something we made up on our own, but rather a literal expression of the facts and phenomena that are happening right now. Tsutsutsu! Strange, iprehensible patterns appear on the body, shining golden, and a huge and majestic door-like shape is engraved on the soul. Kiiiiiiiiiing! A symbol that appears on the body and soul that can only be obtained by beings with the talent and qualifications to challenge ascension and be a transcendent. Gooooooooooooooo!! You have obtained the physical key to open the door to ascension and proceed to the next step, and the door of the soul itself, which is the path to ascension. I was able to naturally realize that this was the beginning of a great challenge to move to the virtual realm of transcendence and the only way to break away from the hierarchy of divinity and move on to the next level. Just as those who became ancient gods and inscribed the concept of divinity into the universe shed their mortal bodies bound by the bonds of the material world and became immortal, so ascension is no different. h h h h-! Just as in order to be a godhead in ancient times, the body had to be assimted with the concept of divinity and freed from the shackles of the material world, in order to be a transcendent, the soul must be made one with the universe. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co! I feel it. Just as one breaks away from the shackles of the material world by engraving the concept and abilities of the divinity itself into the universe, one advances to a new horizon by assimting the existence of the soul itself with the universe. As soon as the ascension to be a transcendent began, I knew that this was what it meant to challenge ascension and ovee even the hierarchy of divinity to be a transcendent. ah. And There seems to be something wrong with this Thats why it was terrible. Quachieeeeeeeeek!! !! A silent scream breaks out. The body, which is virtually made up of divinity, begins to copse, and the supernormal abilities of divinity break down one by one, as if responding to the copse of the body. The hierarchy of divinity that was established as an ancient godhead who presides over divinity and divinity is shattered, and the soul moves beyond it. PUSHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEICK!! In the blink of an eye, the body copses, the skin cracks, and the energy of divinity, soul, and mana rises like steam through the cracks of the wound. Kwasasak-. cant stop The energy of divinity, soul, and mana swells beyond control to the point where it can no longer be controlled. The copse of the physical body that we are currently experiencing and the copse of the divinity that resonates as a result of it are phenomena that ur because it is like blowing more than the allowable amount of air into a balloon. My head is hot I cant even think properly. On the contrary, because he was bing so strong in order to be a transcendental person, his divinity could not endure and was copsing along with his body. Ironically. If the energy of divinity, soul, and mana continued to grow stronger without limit, it was obvious that a balloon filled with more than the allowable amount of air would not be able to withstand and would burst and disappear. I was conceited. Even if I had to challenge myself to ascend to heaven and gain overwhelming power in order to be a transcendent, I decided that I had enough strength as a vessel to receive all that power. It wasnt. This is different. It has to stop Not only the three ancient gods, but not even the artificial beings who were refined to be transcendents like the gods of despair, fall, and madness, cannot handle this. They too had one foot on the path to bing transcendent, but there was a difference between them that could not be bridged as much as heaven and earth. Officially challenging for ascension and bing a transcendent was something that even the mighty who were called the rulers of the universe could not endure. Rather, it was I who took on the challenge of ascension, which is why I have been able to endure until now. I cant die now The ascension ritual must be stopped. By activating the transcendental myth , we are trying to prevent the copse of resonance between the physical and divine bodies, but it is not enough. It was clear that in the near future, the worst growth woulde that even protection and control abilities such as the Transcendent Myth and the Transcendent Myth could not handle. We have to do whatever it takes to stop the ascension But Kagagak-. That too was only for a moment. As my vision became blurry and my mind became hazy, I couldnt help but notice that I could no longer maintain consciousness. The start of ascension could no longer be postponed, and I went beyond the gate of ascension. Consciousness cannot endure. . That was thest moment I remember. *** How much time has passed? . I opened my eyes in the empty darkness and realized that my consciousness had returned to normal. It was as if everything had be okay, as if it were a lie, as if the sacred copse phenomenon up until now had been nothing more than a hallucination. But apart from that, I noticed that I could no longer feel or manipte the energy of divinity or mana. Its not real. and. This ce That means only one thing. Is it the spirit world? If I were to be specific, it means that the ce I am standing in is a mental world simr to the world of images. In any case, the fact that it can think and do something doesnt mean its not dead. In response, I staggered to my feet and frowned as I stared into the seemingly empty darkness. What happened? I was puzzled. Originally, I would have invoked the myth to obtain a key to open the door of ascension for the body and a door symbolizing the door of ascension itself for the soul. Because of that, I could no longer postpone the start of my ascension and had no choice but to embark on the path to bing a transcendent. Isnt this too bleak for the path of ascension to be a transcendent? It was a world without anything. At least I could be sure that this world full of emptiness was not the material world, but on the other hand, there was nothing else to know. Since there was no indication of where I had to go toplete my ascension and be a transcendent, I felt anxious and anxious. If I stay here like this, will I die? Even though he was on a journey to challenge ascension and be a transcendent, it was not normal. In fact, due to the copse of divinity, the body is on the verge of being broken, and the soul is also close to being forcibly dragged beyond the gate of ascension, unable to return. Perhaps, in this world of nothingness and emptiness, I may face death without bing a transcendent. I dont know. Since nothing is certain, we cant be hasty in judging something. At that, I frowned and walked forward in an unknown void world. At least it would be better than just waiting here and doing nothing. There was a need to quickly regain the power to respond, whether it was divinity, spirit, or mana power. Jump and jump -. But ugh. It was then. . Suddenly, a colorless wave centered on where I was standing and echoed far into the distance. While I was wondering for a few seconds what I should do when I saw that, the colorless wave of indecipherable meaning once again echoed far into the distance. And as that colorless wave began to echo again and again starting just now, a strange event urred throughout the world. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! In an instant, the empty world was enveloped in brilliant golden light and the space changed. It was an image of the universe that resembled the image of the world of imagination that we had here. There were huges of various colors scattered everywhere, making it feel like it was a lie that there had been nothing until just now. However, it felt oddly foreign to see those numerouss as a real world that exists in the real universe out there. Tsutsutsu-. Its not even just that. The numerouss scattered throughout the universe gradually revealed their presence as time went by. I couldnt help but be astonished when I realized that it was simr to the divine abilities I had seen countless times before. What is this I got goosebumps. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! It was worth it. I realized that each of those namelesss scattered everywhere is a symbol of each unique concept that represents the concept divinity itself engraved in the universe. After realizing what it meant, I felt like I had a sense of where I was. Ah Its no different. Is that what it was It was simple. Arent thoses in front of you symbolizing the divine supernormal power itself? That means that I am now standing on the greatest path to acquiring all the concepts of the universe. This was not a spiritual world from the beginning I realized what I was trying to achieve by challenging ascension to be a transcendent. I am now in contact with the truth of the universe itself. Transcendent. A virtual state that is believed to be attainable only by beings who have advanced beyond the hierarchy of divinity. It was referring to a perfect god who realized omniscience by realizing all the concepts that exist in the entire universe and thereby achieved omnipotence. *** god. In themon sense of society, it means a being who has the power of omniscience and omnipotence to know everything and do everything. However, apart from that, the real God existing in the universe was closer to the ruler of the concept rather than omniscience or omnipotence. Even if he became an ancient god and became immortal by engraving the concept of divinity into the universe, he is far from a true omnipotent and omnipotent god. Even if it is an ancient deity that stands at the end of the hierarchy of divinity, it only partially uses the concept of supernormal abilities subjectively interpreted as divine supernormal abilities. Within the hierarchy of divinity, even if you be an ancient god, you cannot obtain the power of omniscience or omnipotence. But not this. But the status is different. It was not a transcendental person. A being who seeds in challenging the ascension to be a transcendent is given the opportunity to literally acquire the entire concept of the universe itself. This is on apletely different level from the ancient deities or higher deities that established the hierarchy of divinity defining certain concepts based on their own views and treating them with special abilities. Crackling, crackling-. I was sure. Pajijik-. The Transcendent was a being that even hundreds or thousands of ancient deities could notpete with. And thats why there was a problem. From the beginning, the path of ascension to be a transcendent was not permitted to intelligent beings. For example, it was the same as the capacity of a bowl. Pajik Pajik-. A vessel exists to amodate certain substances, but paradoxically, because it has the shape of a vessel, the limits of its capacity to amodate substances be clear. The capacity of a vessel is limited to one or two bottles of mineral water. Can the vessel hold seawater from all over the world? impossible. Even if you grow a bowl, there is actually an upper limit. There is no way it would be possible to contain seawater from all over the world with the size of a vessel that a mere human can make. It was no different for God, who wanted to be a transcendent. The transcendent is a being who realizes omniscience by epting all concepts of the universe and thus also gains omnipotence. However, even if it is an ancient deity who has reached the end of the hierarchy of divinity, it is impossible to ept the concept of divinity without limitations. This was especially true if it was the concept of divinity, which is connected to the basis of the Godhead. Unlike a vessel, there is no limit to the capacity of a universe where there is nothing, but that does not mean that it contains matter in the first ce. In order to challenge ascension and be a transcendent, it was necessary to change into something closer to an inanimate object rather than an intelligent being. It must be a microcosm and function like the universe to embody omniscience and omnipotence. However, in that case, it is not a being that can make its own choices with a remaining ego or personality, but is closer to a nature. At least I myself wont be there. To be a universe? There was no way something like that was possible. no. Even if that were possible, it would not be an individual object with the consciousness and ego of Han Seong-yoon remaining. Its just another universe. Dont be a damn thing!! If the transcendent, the god of gods, symbolizes the universe itself, it should not be obtained. If you ept all the concepts of the universe that exist before you, realize the power of omniscience, and even realize omnipotence, your personality will no longer exist. It is okay to stop the start of ascension and go back to the level before challenging the transcendental level, even if it is just a little bit faster. Broken, broken, broken!! But even for a moment. Before I knew it, I closed my mouth as I saw brilliant golden and jet-ck lights shing all over my body like lightning. ah. This is not a problem that can be solved just because we stop trying to ascend to heaven and postpone bing transcendents. Regardless of the individuals will, his ascension to heaven had already begun and he was seeking to be reborn as an omnipotent being. Realizing that fact, I slowly turned my head and looked at the world of concepts slowly emitting intense colors in the distance and then clenched my teeth. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! There was still no way to escape from the guidance of Ascension, so there was only one way to survive. . Mo or do. We must endure this violent disaster of knowledge until we seize the opportunity to stop the beginning of the Ascension. Chapter 483 483. Wall (1) Holds. Until the transcendent myth can be strongly activated, the onset of ascension must be forcibly stopped or at least slowed down to a simr level. Since the beginning of ascension is the awakening of omniscience and omnipotence, the symbols of the transcendent, it goes through an optimization process that changes the soul itself and destroys the individuals personality in order to ept the truth of the universe. Wow-. Knowing that it was no different from death created an unprecedented level of tension. If the soul itself reaches the same level as the universe with the onset of ascension, the individuals ego will be nothing more than an inanimate object. Even if the power of omniscience is engraved in the soul and the power of omnipotence is engraved in the body, it will be of no use if I am reborn as the universe itself and lose my own intelligence. Failure is not tolerated. Isnt that what you came here hoping for? As I watched thes made up of concepts creating an incredibly intimidating feeling, unlike before, I felt that the truth of the universe was invading my body and soul and being imprinted against my will. In the blink of an eye, the beginning of the ascension resumes, and the principles of countless concepts contained in the truth of the universe that we do not want to understand and should never understand, overflow violently like a flood, coloring our souls. Kugu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu !! Consciousness bes blurred, with a feeling as if the brain is being cooked. We understand time and space, creation and destruction, and divinity and magic, but beyond that, the journey of enlightenment continues without rest to be one with the universe. World, Nature, Life, Birth, Destruction, Death, Cirction, Perpetuation, Bridle, Fate, etc. A concept that has reached the pinnacle of mystery engraved in the deepest part of the universe. It was achieving itself perfectly. Unlike foolish beings who im to have be gods by achieving a hierarchy of divinity, they truly acquired the power of the concepts supernormal ability by bing one, rather than only partially handling a concept with their divine supernormal ability. Ah ah ah. As I reached thew of all things, my soul and body were moved by indescribable majesty at the knowledge that I had entered the greatest path. Aaaaaaaaa!! However, despite this, reason, realizing that the worst oue of extinction of consciousness ising in the face of the truth of this universe, cries out in front of the pain of loss of existence that is more terrible than any torture. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! As the divinity, the body, and now the soul began to copse, I felt a crack in my body, and the light of the concept of divinity leaked out through the cracks. Fuquaag!! The initiation of ascension changes consciousness. If there is an upper limit to understanding the truths of the universe because I am an intellectual, all I have to do is annihte consciousness and the ego itself. At the beginning of my ascension, I felt my vision turn pitch ck and the sense organs that had established my existence in the virtual world disappeared all at once. Pagagak! It was the disappearance of consciousness. *** death. It is a decided ending that inevitablyes to living things, and it is the rest and end given to those who have gained life. It was only by bing an ancient god, transforming into divinity itself, and standing on the borderline of immortality that he temporarily escaped the bonds of life and death. In the end, as a being who has gained life, I cannot avoid the moment of rest given at the end of life if I do not have immortal spirituality that has been reconciled with the concept of divinity itself. Thats why. *** The final moment. I came to a certain realization in the extremely slow flow of time, as if the moment had been divided into hundreds. Since I have also received life, if I cannot escape the inevitability of death, I can use it itself to defy and deceive the decided ending and rest. Although it is a being that uses divinity and divinity as the basis of its divinity, its essence is closer to the god of death than the god of transcendence due to the power of necromancy resulting from the talent of the soul. Is that why? Among the divine abilities that were overloaded due to the overwhelming flood of knowledge faced at the start of the ascension, the divine returned from overheating to a normal state the fastest. Immediately, just before my consciousness disintegrated one by one and my ego copsed, I activated the sacred and, as if struggling, I sank into the swamp of inevitable death. [Uses Divine .] [Divine erodes all things ording to the users will.] [Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine .] Following divinity and magic . Even the body and soul are stained with sacred , turning the sacred hierarchy itself into a sand castle that can copse at any time. As the realizations gained at the beginning of the ascension ovepped, the scope of application of the concept of divine expanded, cing consciousness and the ego itself in the clutches of death. With this, I became a mortal destined to die someday over time. However, rather, I know that I can postpone my own death by returning to the bonds of mortality and being trapped in a cage, and that I can avoid death at this moment because I have decided on the moment of ending and rest. If I do not allow myself to die, even the moment of ending and rest that will inevitablye someday has no choice but to seek eternity in the indefinite promise of someday. Consciousness does not disappear. *** ugh . The door to ascension closes. The beginning of the ascension to be a transcendent was interrupted and the greatest path was enveloped in darkness, not light. Standing in front of him, I slowly closed my eyes, feeling the knowledge of the concepts I had gained beyond the Gate of Ascension return to its original ce. The storm of intense emotions I felt in the face of death had already subsided, leaving only calm calm. I have clearly found out what it means to challenge ascension to be a transcendent. Although I knew that it was impossible to reach the same level as the universe, I had no regrets, despair, or resignation left. I have decided on the path I must take in the future. It was worth it. I even lost the forbidden knowledge I gained at the beginning of my ascension to be a transcendent, but even that is not particrly important to me. Rather, it was enough to know the meaning and symbolism of bing a transcendent after challenging ascension and going through the initiation of ascension. So I knew that in order to survive and move on to the beginning of ascension, I had to give up even myself. Next time wont end like today. Except somehow I felt a strange confidence that it wouldnt be necessary. If you think about it in reverse, that you have to abandon yourself in order to be the universe itself and ept the knowledge of the concept, isnt the opposite case also possible? Maybe if the Gate of Ascension is opened again next time, it wont end like it does now. As time passed, everything would be decided ording to my wishes on the day when the final battle began. Either gain everything or lose everything. Even if the beginning is something I did not wish for, the ending is something I chose, not anyone elses. Or Next time, if I go beyond the gate of ascension once again, I will not simply submit to the beginning of ascension, but will be a transcendent in my own way. Only after losing everything will you gain everything. certainly. *** coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo-. In the blink of an eye, I realized that I had escaped from the Gates of Ascension and had returned to the real world. There was no longer a flood of knowledge as before due to the start of the ascension, and there was no longer a feeling of body and soul exploding, unable to handle the expansion of power. Unlike before, the Key engraved on the body and the Gate of Ascension engraved on the soul did not have a strong presence. . A situation in which numerous divine supernormal abilities cool down from overheating and return to normal, one by one, centering on divine and divine . First of all, it can be said that the forced extinction of consciousness and ego due to the start of ascension as before will no longer continue. Dam Cheon-woo in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was yelling at me for something, but since checking his own condition was a priority, I ignored everything he said after telling me to wait a moment. Sze-. At that, I stood up with my eyes narrowed. In addition to the current copse of divinity and destruction of the body, the soul has also received considerable shock and is partially damaged. The level of divinity and soul of this side was also lowered from the same level as the three ancient gods to a slightly lower level. I feel weak. Thats not all. Because of the death sentence I gave myself by activating the divine , my vitality is weakening, even if only slightly, by the minute, and I am getting closer to death. Well, if you think about the immortality gained by bing an ancient deity, it is true that you will not die because of divine Perhaps in the future, as time passes, divine will continue to make me weaker. It wasnt a particrly pleasant experience. However, at the moment when the bondage of death is lifted from oneself through the supernormal power of the divine , the door to ascension opens again, and this time, the consciousness and ego maypletely disappear. Because of that, I did not stop activating the sacred and granting myself the indefinite fate of death. At least this one ended fortunately without any major problems, considering that I escaped from the Gate of Ascension. Didnt he almost be a transcendent by challenging the ascension and facing the beginning of the ascension? It is also bearable that he is getting weaker little by little every moment due to the bondage of death that he has ced on himself through the divine . In fact, since the aftereffects of ascension did not involve extinction of consciousness or ego, this was not considered a major penalty. Well, even if thats not the case, you can always get rid of the aftereffects of ascension, such as not being able to get rid of the bondage of death imposed by divine . Pajik Pajik-! As this side raised the level of divinity and the soul, and touched the key of ascension engraved on the body and the gate of ascension engraved on the soul, an interesting phenomenon urred. ugh!! Its none other than Kiiiiiiiing! As the door to ascension opened ever so slightly, an overwhelming power poured down from beyond, and the aftereffects of the ascension due to the divine disappeared in an instant. Gooooo-! Geometric patterns, the key to opening the door to ascension, were faintly revealed on the skin, restoring divinity, body, and soul, and regaining strength. Now I know one thing for sure. That means only one thing. [The god of transcendence and death expresses satisfaction with the qualifications for ascension engraved on him.] [The door of ascension and the key to open the door of ascension is a power that does not disappear once engraved. ] Gate of Ascension. Isnt it obvious what it means to be able to open the symbol of the soul, which is engraved only on those who have the qualifications and talent to be a transcendent, at any time with the key to ascension engraved on the body? This means that in the future, at any moment you want, you will be able to open the door to ascension, begin ascension, and take on the challenge of bing a transcendent. Chapter 484 484. Wall (2) The qualification for ascension obtained through the myth does not disappear even if the start of ascension is stopped. This became certain through the act of just creating a very small gap in the door of ascension. The door of ascension engraved on the soul has not disappeared, and the key to ascension imprinted on the body can also be used to open the door of ascension depending on the intention to activate it. Well, considering that ascension itself is close to suicide, it would be better to refrain from opening the door to ascension until the end. step. Because I myself do not wish for the beginning of ascension to resume, I did notpletely open the door to ascension engraved deep within my soul. It is not easy to draw strength little by little from beyond the gate of ascension so that the status of divinity and soul is not weakened further due to the bondage of death that was engraved on oneself through divinity . In that case, if youpletely open the door to ascension and covet excessive power, there is a possibility that the start of ascension will be forced and you may be an unintelligent transcendental without your will. There was a need to be cautious. The Gate of Ascension allows you to raise the hierarchy of divinity to the limit without anypensation, but we dont know how long that willst. It was worth it. The Gate of Ascension is the greatest path to challenge ascension and be a transcendent, and no one in the entire universe has reached this point. Not only the three ancient gods, but also the Irregr, the god of despair, fall, and madness, would not have been able to challenge ascension. This is especially true if I say that I am the first ancient godhead to reach the gate of ascension. Doesnt that mean that no one knows what side effects will follow if one touches the door of ascension at will? If the door to ascension continues to be opened and closed as it is now, in the worst case, there is a possibility that the start of ascension, which was interruptedst time, will resume again. Challenging ascension and embarking on the path to bing a transcendent is not something to be taken lightly. The Gate of Ascension and the beginning of Ascension beyond the Gate of Ascension were a blessing and a curse that even the ancient gods could not bear. If the door to ascension is opened unintentionally and the ascension begins again, unlike thest time, it may not be possible to end it by imposing mortal restrictions on oneself through divine . Isnt it both unprecedented luck and misfortune that there are no restrictions whatsoever on challenging for ascension? If I were to be honest, I think it would be fair to say that I have be a life-limited person. However, apart from that, it didnt feel particrly despairing or sad. From the beginning, even though this person became an ancient god and was reborn as immortal, didnt they spend their days closer to death than life? Now that I am reminded that there are only a few days left to live, I cannot feel any meaning because I have no intention of taking too long. It doesnt matter because I dont think I will have too much time even if I live a life time-limited life until I have to face not only the ancient gods of the pantheon, but also the gods of despair, fall, and madness. obviously. Moreover, since this side has achieved a hierarchy of divinity at the same level as the three ancient deities, there will be no restrictions on its activities. However, if the door to ascension opens again one day and the beginning of ascension takes ce once again, then we will inevitably have to be tested in the beginning of ascension. I think I know roughly. At the beginning of my ascension, I came into contact with the truth of the universe itself and came to understand many things. The transcendental person was a being beyond the sky who blossomed into omnipotence by realizing omniknowledge. Therefore, at the beginning of the ascension to be a transcendent, the challenger must be tempered as a vessel to ept the truth of the universe. As a result, the challenger who ascended to heaven to ept the truth of the universe itself bes a transcendental person who has lost his intelligence and meets an undesirable ending. There is one solution. Its not that I couldnt aplish anything in the beginning of Ascension. With the onset of ascension, optimization of the soul itself is underway in order to be a transcendent. In other words, doesnt that mean that if you ascend to heaven with optimization alreadypleted, there will be no loss of intelligence due to changes in the soul? I realized something by forcing myself to stop the start of ascension and escape beyond the door of ascension that I reached through the myth . In the end, a transcendent refers to a being who understands and epts the truth of all universes and is reborn as a new universe itself. And Its impossible to say for sure whether it will seed or fail Thats why I was confident. You wouldnt know it if you became the truth of the concept and thew of nature itself, rather than a vessel to amodate knowledge. In the future, if you gather the power you will gain by climbing the Tower of Trials to the final floor and the power you will gain by killing the ancient gods, you will be able to ovee even the beginning of ascension. Just like the Tower of Trials did in the distant past. That too for sure. *** Ascension and once I stopped thinking about the transcendent, what I had to do became clear. First, I will climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor and obtain every reward I can get without leaving anything behind. Then, any power will be honed to its limit until the ancient deities of the pantheon or the gods of despair, fall, and madness reveal their magical powers. -Crazy guy. When I told Dam Cheon-woo about our nned future schedule, he responded as if he was astonished. DYou want to climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor? Since there is quite a bit of time left, should we prepare for a decisive battle against a powerful enemy? To you, the Tower of Trials is now just a hill behind the neighborhood? . However, Dam Cheon-woos dissatisfaction did not end there, as he continued to grumble. DNot to mention the fact that as soon as you returned to the waiting room after the War of the Gods ended, you attempted to ascend to heaven without any particr worries and nearly died It is clear that your mind has gone even crazier than before. Perhaps it bothers me that this side did not respond to Dam Cheon-woos call and instead freely activated the myth and attempted to ascend to heaven -You know, right ? Ancient deity. A being who transformed himself into a concept of divinity and acquired an immortal body is also not invincible. It would be even more so if it were you. Well, I killed more than one ancient god with divine . I know it very well. -Bing stronger? Its not that I dont understand that idea either. However, there are degrees to that too. Han Seong-yoon When I look at you, I cant help but feel ominous thoughts these days. . Now that weve been together for a long time, maybe weve developed a lot of affection for each other? DI think it wouldnt be strange if one day you suddenly failed to ascend to heaven and died. This person is neither the living nor the dead. Arent the managers who signed a contract with you and the people on Earth not like that? . DArent there people on Earth who have a connection to you, as well as managers who say they are the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman? Winning the prize is also important, but you look like youre being chased by something. Is that so. It was unexpected. Originally, Dam Cheon-woo, who resided within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword, died while climbing the Tower of Trials, but wasnt he the one who didnt be a challenger? So, I thought that this side would take for granted not only that they would do anything to be stronger, but also that they would be obsessed with strength, but that didnt seem to be the case. DI know that you are preparing for the day when powerful enemies, such as ancient gods who were not friendly to you in the pantheon or gods of despair, fall, and madness, wille. The three ancient deities in the pantheon wont just sit idly by if you ask for help, right? In the midst of a fierce battle between life and death, Dam Cheon-woo also seemed to have begun to think of this as a precious rtionship. DI hope you know that sometimes its not a bad thing to get help from someone else. However, instead of saying anything in particr, I just nodded. Is it help It wasnt wrong. The lords of the universe, known as the three ancient gods, favor this side and dislike most of the ancient gods. Moreover, if you even convey to them the memories contained in the fragments of divinity obtained during the war between the gods, you may be able to receive full support. That wouldnt be bad either. If the three ancient deities help us escape from the constraints of causality, we will be able to receive as much cooperation as possible. . Its not even just that. The many rtionships we have built while climbing the Tower of Trials will also help us as much as we wish. Even though this may seem like a small amount of help, if ites together again and again, we may be able to obtain ie beyond our expectations. So I ignored it. Its ame idea. Just like that, I closed my eyes and smiled. Havent we already clearly decided on the path we should take since we visited the Pantheon the other day? Instead of settling for the present and stopping to move forward, I decided to step into the strongest position by moving forward into an uncertain future. It is not enough to be an ancient god and be immortal, and it is not enough to reach the end of the ancient god and be the lord of the universe. If I wish to challenge ascension and be a transcendent, there is no need to ask for anyones help. Havent youe all this way solely to challenge yourself to ascend to heaven and reach the virtual state of a transcendent being that exists beyond the sky? That was an option I had abandoned a long time ago. There were several opportunities to stop seeking strength and choose to live in harmony with others. He could be the strongest hunter and pursue a peaceful life on Earth, or he could reject even the power given by the Tower of Trials and spend the rest of his life happily with someone. When the three ancient deities asked to be the new main gods of the pantheon and join together, they were able to finally end everything and settle down. However, the reason I didnt do that was because it was something that was bound to be far from the pursuit of strength. I cant stop anymore. I had to think like that sometimes. What would it be like to live a simple happy life with the Iron Blood Lord, Baekhakgeomseon, or people like Lee Ha-yeon or Catherine Bet on Earth? And going further than that, you could found a hunter guild with people like Kim Seung-hoon or Oh Chun-seok and live a reasonably satisfying life. There will continue to be days where happiness andfort coexist. However, that is why it is far from strong. Now theres no need for me to get help from anyone. It was necessary to gain overwhelming strength in order to ovee the powerful enemies of ancient gods who would reach out in the future and even destroy the Tower of Trials. From now on, I have to walk the path alone. Going beyond ascension and bing truly transcendent is a path of solitude that no one can help. Since I was well aware of that fact, I did not take Dam Cheon-woos words to heart and continued with what I had to do. I came to a conclusion after taking out and checking the relic The Thought of One Who Longed for Ascension (SSS+), which was given by the Tower of Trials as a reward for clearing the 36th floor trial, from the inventory. [The thoughts of a person who longed for ascension] [Grade: SSS+] [The thoughts of a higher godhead who wanted more earnestly than anyone else to challenge ascension and be a transcendent.] [The divinity and soul power of a higher godhead who reached just before bing an ancient god. It is also possible to absorb.] [Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect Longing for Ascension when used by injecting divine power.] [ For 4 minutes, the users divinity and soul level increase by one level. As you go up, the concept of divinity, which is the basis of godhood, is partially strengthened.] [ However, after the user uses the exclusive effect Longing for Ascension, a cooldown of 14 days is created.] It is useless. The thoughts of one who longs for ascension (SSS+). A relic that looks like a gray bead. To be honest, I didnt have much expectations because it was the highest level item other than the EX level items, which are the highest level items that can be obtained from the Tower of Trials. However, the exclusive effect Desire for Ascension of the relic Thoughts of one who longed for Ascension (SSS+) was not particrly good for use by an ancient god who had reached the end of the hierarchy of divinity. It seems that an ancient deity who has reached the end of the hierarchy of divinity can no longer increase the level of divinity and soul even if he uses The Thought of One Who Desires Ascension (SSS+). I thought maybe I could be a transcendent by using the relic The Thought of One Who Yearned for Ascension (SSS+), but that doesnt seem to be the case. I guess Ill have to spend it. The moment when this side absorbs the divinity and soul power of the higher godhead contained in the relic Thoughts of One Who Desires Ascension (SSS+). Knock-. A crack appeared in the gray bead, which was the relic Thoughts of a person who longed for Ascension (SSS+), and after a while, the gray bead itself turned into ash. Its just so-so. I felt that my divinity and soul power had increased, even if only slightly. Because it was a relic that contained the divinity and soul power of a higher godhead, it could not obtain much power. Instead of being disappointed by that fact, I looked into various skills and power items using the points and SP I received from the store provided by the Tower of Trials. [The unique power Skill Synthesis has been activated.] [View the list of skills.] [.] Among the skills obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials, the abilities that have been used so far have activated the unique power Skill Synthesis. Didnt you learn it by doing this? If youre lucky, you can obtain a hidden card bybining the skills you bought at the store and the skills you obtained through necromancy. Skills purchased from stores and skills obtained through necromancy were transformed into dozens or hundreds of repetitive tasks using the unique power Skill Synthesis. [The authority Heros Protection is strongly activated.] [Luck increases temporarily and violently.] But. [Skill synthesis isplete.] [A new skill is created.] [. ] It was ambiguous. . All of the skills created through the unique power Skill Synthesis appear to be somewhatcking even though the power Heros Protection has been activated and the benefits of luck have been received. To be honest, I thought I would get a skill that could be used asionally, like the Seeker of the Fresh Blood, even if it wasnt at the same level as the Gray Blood, but I guess it was a disaster. I clicked my tongue at that, but if you think about it, it was only natural. The skills provided by the Tower of Trials achieved a hierarchy of divinity, and there was no sense of decline in value as it became possible to steal concept divinity through necromancy. Moreover, after this one transformed into the concept of divinity itself and became an ancient god, it continued to gather the supernormal abilities of divinity. Most of the skills dont reach the level of a single divine ability, so they dont seem worth using. To be honest, I thought that most of the power skills I acquired at the beginning of my climb up the Tower of Trials were abilities outside the category of skills. Was it just a waste of time? In fact, it was a situation where it was clear that we could not obtain anything better than the skills we had, so we put aside our lingering regrets and converted them all into a handful of divine power. [.] [The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering is activated.] [A total of 47 skills have been offered from oneself.] [The relevant abilities are reced with divine power. It umtes in the heart.] It was no different if these were items obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials or items just purchased from the store. In the past, it was a great help in climbing the Tower of Trials or fighting strong enemies, but now it is difficult to use. For example, there is the ck and white hourss (S+), which served as a secret weapon when dealing with the god of battle in the past, but is now useless. Isnt the concept of divine alone a supernormal ability that can cause time interference in the entire space itself, slowing down or almost stopping time? Now, the items of the past are nothing more than junk left in the inventory. Therefore, I disposed of it immediately without hesitation. [Skill Steel Eating is activated.] Enemy enemy -. [.] [Complete absorption.] [Strength increases by 2.] [Stamina increases by 3.] [Durability increases by 2.] [Magic power increases by 2.] [Concept increases by 1 .] This is awesome. I didnt use the skill Steel Eating much at the point where all my abilities reached a level higher than I could have imagined, but after chewing and swallowing all kinds of items, I was able to achieve a notable achievement of my own. This time, I absorbed the God of Creation through necromancy and all of my abilities went up significantly, so I didnt think eating steel would be particrly helpful, but I got a bigger profit than I expected. I was satisfied and confident that I had finished disposing of most skills and items. Since I had used up most of the points or SP I had collected while climbing the Tower of Trials, there was nothing more I could do in the waiting room. And because I knew very well what that meant, I checked my armament without a moment of hesitation and was fully prepared. [.] [Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice] is activated automatically when the conditions are met.] [Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice] uses challenger Han Seong-yoons unique keyword. Based on this, we present three options.] [With the exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice], you can confirm the trial theme by choosing one of the three options.] It was simple. [Choose one of three options.] [1. Natural talent] [2. Anger of Destruction] [3.Beetle Mania?] Hold-.

[Tower of Trials ] You will enter the 37th floor.] [Difficulty C Hard] [The theme of the trial is The Limits of Talent.] [I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result after the hardships he chooses.] Shall we begin? Tower of Trials. A being close to the transcendental who exists solely to create the most perfect Godyer in the universe. Now it was time to go to the final level, which was located at the top of the Tower of Trials and could only be reached by the strongest challenger of all time. Chapter 485 485. Wall (3) Field of choice. There, there was one characteristic among the options based on the unique keyword that could be selected each time a new trial began. The point is that the Tower of Trials allows you to choose a trial theme that is perfect for you using the unique keywords that are attached to the challenger based on the individuals personality, life, and aptitude. The War of the Gods was not only the result of selecting unique keywords in conjunction with the Field of Selection, but also the result of consuming the Remegeton, so it had to be skipped over Moreover, this is the Tower of Trials in the War of the Gods. Havent you discovered the secret of selecting beings with the talent and qualifications who have the potential to be transcendents and gathering them as challengers? Not anymore. At this point, I cant ignore it. There is a high possibility that the unique keyword that the Tower of Trials attaches to each challenger is essentially rted to talent or qualification that can reach the virtual state called a transcendent or ascendant. Although it reflects the individuals inclination, life, and aptitude, the unique keyword attached to this side by the Tower of Trials is probably an innate talent rted to the soul itself. Once you know where the Tower of Trials was created and what it exists for, you can no longer consider it a trivial matter. I thought that being able to confirm the ordeal theme by choosing one of the options ording to the unique keyword as a ce of choice was to increase the possibility of bing a transcendent rted to this to the limit. I will take this opportunity to find out what talents and qualifications the Tower of Trials has judged me to have until I reach the final floor. What are the talents and qualifications suitable to be a transcendent? What kind of talent and qualifications did the Tower of Trials have that they thought they had the potential to be a transcendent? If you think about necromancy and sacred or sacred , you mighte up with a surprisingly easy answer, but it doesnt seem like they will be the perfect answer. [Enter the 37th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [Difficulty C Hard] [The theme of the trial is The Limits of Talent.] [I hope that there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.] Perhaps the Tower of Trials Among the talents and qualifications that correspond to the essence of the soul that we have judged to have and ssified under the name of unique keywords, we may be able to find a clue to go beyond the Gate of Ascension. [The trial on the 37th floor begins.] [Remaining time C one month] [Conditions for passing the trial C Show your greatest talent in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower and receive a seal of talent from the God of Honor] [Conditions for failing the trial C Challenger death or end of remaining time] [Trial Breakthrough Reward C Book of Talent and Honor (SS-)] [Trial Failure Penalty C Death] Of course, the Tower of Trials will also not want this side to be stronger anymore, so the reward is not that high of a level. It was supposed to be unobtainable. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! However, even if the Tower of Trials gives you low-level trials to pursue strength, you may be able to gain something depending on what you do. Is it starting slowly? Knowing this, I exercised patience and did not move hastily even though the scenery in my field of vision changed and hundreds of people appeared. Jump and jump -. After standing in a huge library that felt as big as arge city for a while, someone came out without having to wait long. joy. It seems that almost everyone who will participate in the selection test for this Mage Tower has gathered. There wont be any problem if we start the screening test soon. It was a speech filled with self-confidence and the arrogance thates from it. Just asmon wizards wore robes as if they had made an appointment, the ck-haired young man wearing a monocle who walked out of the huge library was no different. It should have felt a bit more like a librarian, but the ck-haired young man who appeared in a purple robe gave the impression that he was a wizard no matter where he looked. I understand why the Tower of Trials made receiving something from the God of Honor a condition for clearing the trials. However, that ck-haired man who looked like a mix of a librarian and a wizard was not a pure wizard. Well, for now, wee to the Gray Magic Tower. Talented people. It took a lot of hard work to get here. The ck-haired young man wearing an old-fashioned monocle in front of me had not only mana energy, but also a small amount of divine energy umted in his heart. hmm. Lets start by introducing ourselves. I am Tekal, a special level wizard of the Gray Magic Tower and an official apostle who serves the God of Honor. Nice to meet you. Well, it seems like he was chosen as an official apostle while serving a god of honor that Ive never heard of before What a small thing. Its meaningless. Nowadays, it is hard for regr apostles to feel that they are strong enough to have reached the level of an ancient deity and have taken one step toward the gate of ascension. Hundreds of people standing throughout the huge library each gave their own unique reactions as if they had different views. Its incredible. He is a special level 1 wizard of the Gray Magic Tower, one of the giant magic towers, and was chosen as an official apostle by the God of Honor. There is no such thing as a big man. Huh. This is truly amazing. Such an achievement at that age? It is said that the Gray Magic Tower is indeed a group of wizards and a temple that serves the God of Honor. Do those who are favored by the gods be that strong? That amount of magical energy is not at a level that an ordinary human can umte. This is probably the power he was able to umte because he was an official apostle chosen by the God of Honor. The author passed thest screening test. To be honest, I kept hearing stories that made me wonder if I had heard them correctly. A level 4 apostle who is not even a quasi-god is being showered with all kinds of praise, saying that he is a giant or that he is not at the level of a human being. From this perspective, a sense of disparity arose because the person named Tekal was the weakest of the weak who would die without leaving a trace with just a single lift of a finger. no. Is it the opposite? In fact, for those who have not achieved the hierarchy of divinity, this may be the standard for the general strong. Theyre not wrong. Its just that this side has be so strong that they have climbed the Tower of Trials, challenged ascension, and entered the path to bing a transcendent, so the standard of judgment has changed greatly from the usual case. I noticed this fact toote and remained silent, and as some time passed, Tekal smiled as if he was secretly enjoying thepliment and burned his lips again. okay. Talented people. You are right. I passed the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower 40 years ago At that time, I was able to ovee my limitations as a human and be this strong. I was puzzled. Have you escaped your limitations as a human being? In fact, the author was only assigned a small amount of divine power under the God of Honor. It was not possible to handle divine abilities, and only the independent use of some powers or special powers was permitted. How can you confidently say bullshit about oveing human limitations when you havent be an ancient deity and transformed into the concept of divinity itself? Its not just a slip of the tongue because youre not familiar with the hierarchy of divinity, and even though youre an official apostle serving the God of Honor, you can confidently im something that isnt true Thats amazing. It was once again insignificant. Even though nothing had really started yet, my motivation was already fading and I felt like I wanted to move on to the next floor. But didnt they have any intention of continuing their bullshit to praise themselves for too long? Just as I was about to stop thinking about the field of choice and unique keywords, fortunately, Tekal put on a serious expression and parted his lips. Theres nothing to be so nervous about. Talented people. Just as I didst time, this time it is your time to shine with your talents to the God of Honor. Tekal continued speaking seriously, gathering the energy of divinity and mana into his hands. You have the talent and qualifications to participate in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower that serves the God of Honor If you can prove your natural talent, brilliant honor will follow. In the blink of an eye, the energy of divinity and mana gathered in Tekals right hand was scattered into the air, and at the same time, a colorless wave rang out in the air, causing a strange event. [ I, Tekal, a special level 1 wizard of the Gray Magic Tower, as an official apostle serving the God of Honor, dere the beginning of a selection test for talented people. ] Innate talent. The Tower of Trials would say that the unique keyword was identified by referring to the individuals inclination, life, and aptitude. From now on, it was time to find out about my own talent, which even the Tower of Trialsbeled as natural talent. *** In an instant, a selection test for talented people began and a noticeable change urred. was this a screening test that proved natural talent? If we are to be honest, should we say that it is a hellish change for those who have not achieved the hierarchy of divinity? The nature of the mana in the air itself has changed on a particle-by-particle basis, making it almost impossible to absorb and manipte mana in the air. And with that, everyone standing in the huge library lost all of their mana energy. Tsk! Oh, the aurors havepletely disappeared? How is this possible? Hehehe Me too. Im not an Auror, but my magic is gone. Whether its elemental magic or unique magic, its in a state where it cant be used. Thats not all. Do you feel that the mana flow in the atmosphere has be strange? With the loss of magical energy within the body, maniption of magical energy outside the body became impossible. None of those who participated in the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower were able to avoid loss of mana. However, unlike them, I naturally had the transcendent myth activated, so not only my divinity but also my mana energy should not be lost. Well, the loss of mana can be avoided with pure resistance without even activating the transcendental myth Shall I join you? hook. I didnt. After temporarily sealing the divinity and mana energy inside my body, I became like a normal mortal. In any case, if the 37th floor trial given by the Tower of Trials is rted to natural talent itself, there will not be much benefit even if you clear the trial by pressing down with force. Youll find out after you try it whether its a waste of time or not. Even though it may not seem like a big deal at first nce, it was worth persevering. And when this person becamepletely identical to an ordinary person, Tekal, who was standing in front of him, parted his lips again. Unlike before, Tekal did not bring up any unnecessary stories and spoke only the information that needed to be conveyed to the screening test participants in a practical manner. [This screening test consists of a total of 8 steps. You must rely on one innate talent to pass the selection test. ] Ttogak ttogak-. [ Whenever the selection test is passed, it immediately moves on to the next stage, and the God of Honor will bestow a sacred item on those who reach the final stage. ] All right. [ also. Since the screening test requires you to use your own abilities to even infer the identity of the next step, I will not allow any further questions or conversations. So please know that. ] With that, Tekal quietly retreated, and the participants in the selection test also acted as if they were convinced. Indeed, the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower is not just about solving problems and finding out the correct answers, but also having to figure out what the questions are. As an old wizard said this with a faint smile, a red-haired young man standing next to him spoke confidently. But that is all. Is there anyone who wants to join me? If we put our heads together and unleash the power of collective intelligence, we can be leaders. There were quite a few people who were attracted by his words, but there were also quite a few who were not. hot. These guys are extremely weak. Even though you participated in the selection test to be chosen by the God of Honor, you still dont know what it means? They are pathetic, pathetic bastards. Its a meaningless story. I will proceed in my own way. I wont say anything in particr, but I dont think its worth sympathizing with. I agree. In the end, in order to be chosen by the God of Honor at the end of the selection test, you dont need to prove that you were born with natural talent. Cooperation is unnecessary. Unlike the red-haired young man, most of the participants in the selection test tried to find their own solutions by sitting around the huge library and reading books or concentrating on something. Thats normal. Cooperation? Collective intelligence? What does that mean here? In any case, it is something that can be solved by a person with natural talent without coborating with anyone. hmm. The person who has been standing there silently since a while ago. Are you also not nning on joining us? However, the people standing on the other side did not seem to think so, and now they came to where I was and asked for cooperation. Not really. I just didnt want to hang out with that red-haired young man anymore, so I lightly declined and turned my back, and I heard the sound of gnashing teeth. under. Everyone is so arrogant. The Ashen Magic Towers selection test is a process for selecting apostles created by the God of Honor himself. Do you truly believe that you can ovee Gods test on your own? It was fun. Pisik-. Just kidding. Smile? What is it? Why are you smiling like that? Im sure I didnt say anything wrong. However, the red-haired young man seemed to be overreacting, probably because he took offense to the smile, but it wasnt really worth dealing with. Now youre not even answering what I say? This is downright rude. We would have to stay here for several months or even years. Is there a need to be so rude? I responded calmly without even looking back. well. Do you think its rude for anyone to not agree with their ideas? Its a ridiculous way of thinking. It was just a waste of time. From the beginning, wasnt that red-haired young man so irritated just because he didnt agree with his opinion? I didnt want to worry about whether he got angry or irritated for such trivial reasons, because it was none of my business anymore. If I have to correct you, I have no intention of staying here with you guys for that long. what does that mean? Dont you know how long the Ashen Magic Towers selection test takes? The earliest screening test can bepleted is a few months, while the mostmon one takes several years. well. That doesnt seem to apply to me. I really dont n on spending a lot of time on this. I will finish everything within a few hours and then leave. The red-haired young man muttered in bewilderment as if it were absurd. her. What how many hours? Are you out of your mind? That cant possibly make sense But before he could finish his sentence, I answered with a grin on my face. I guess so. and. For you. . With that, the red-haired young man seemed to be at a loss for words and could not say anything else. Well, to be honest, I dont think I would spend hours taking a selection test created by a god of honor or something. Sze-. In fact, I got the feeling as soon as the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower began. If the mana in the air has been changed in particle-level properties and cannot be absorbed into the body or manipted outside the body, then the property change can only be resolved. If I were to be specific, it is the same as the method of change in character that a martial artist achieves by going beyond the level of a sword energy merchant and reaching the level of sword me. By pure intention itself, by giving new properties to the sword energy and changing it, isnt it going beyond cutting a huge rock like a piece of paper, turning it into powder, and giving it thepatibility of a natural enemy that eats the sword energy? Then it was a simple matter. The mana in the air is handled by recalcting the way the property changes were made at the particle level and fitting the method of use ordingly. By disassembling the property changes applied to the mana particle unit in reverse order, the mana maniption method is improved to manipte and absorb even a very small amount of mana energy. Gooooo-. And at the same time, by using the very small amount of magic umted inside the body, the properties of the mana particles in the atmosphere are changed again. Whi-profit-! In the blink of an eye, the mana energy dissolved in the air flows like crazy into the body and umtes. This will be the next one. Being able to change the properties of the mana in the air on a particle-by-particle basis means that it is possible to create a force that deviates from the rtionship through the method of reinforcing the ovep of properties like a sword in the surrounding space. Kugu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu !! As the mana energy began to swirl like a storm around the ce where I was sitting cross-legged, I realized one thing. Oh, did I use a wrong solution that the creator did not intend? This wasnt a proper method. The Gray Magic Towers selection test was not designed to be solved this way from the beginning. From the beginning, the change in the properties of the particle unit applied to the mana in the atmosphere was not solved by self-reducing the change in properties by the participants of the screening test and improving the method of use. That wasnt even possible. Should we say that the innate talent for mana itself is judged? It was a structure that relied on pure mana affinity to forcibly collect a small amount of mana in the magic circuit for several weeks, and then operated the magic circuit to forcibly collect mana from the surroundings. The fact that this side created its own method of using mana by recalcting the changes in the properties of each particle applied to mana in the air was, for example, the same as acquiring operator rights that are not permitted in the game. In a game, users should never be able to obtain operator permissions, but they were forced to obtain operator permissions through hacking. hmm. Well, in the end, as long as you solve the problem one way or another, isnt that the right answer? Theres no need to worry. maybe. Well, it was none of my business. Tsutsutsu! Therefore, I changed the properties of the mana in the air at the particle level and began to refine the purest mana into primordial energy. Paaaa-! It was divine power. For reference, it was found that even the divine power obtained by refining pure mana into primordial energy waspletely different from the creators design intention. This is because an unknown divine energy suddenly tried to be injected into the ce where I was standing, and it fizzled and then disappeared, as if a program malfunction had urred. Isnt this at the level where there is no standard solution to the problem? It was roughly what I expected. Perhaps, if things had gone as they were, the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower would have automatically injected the divine energy of the God of Honor into those who obtained the energy of pure mana. And by epting some of the divine energy possessed by the God of Honor, it is possible to create official apostles of much higher quality than ordinary priests. I guess this is why the God of Honor is hosting a selection test at the Gray Magic Tower. Selecting those with natural talent and engraving the divine energy of the God of Honor into the purest mana energy. Thus, the essence and significance of the selection test held at the Gray Magic Tower was to create powerful official apostles who would serve the God of Honor. It is truly an efficient task of selecting exceptional people among those with natural talent and making them official apostles. Kigigigigigigigeek!! But . Is this because they did not ept the divine energy given by the God of Honor? Suddenly, a green sphere of lightposed of divine power descended from the ceiling of the huge library and attempted to engrave the divine energy into this person. I thought that perhaps at the point when this divine energy was engraved on him, he would be an official apostle and a master-ve rtionship would be forcibly established. In the end, it was a selection test for the Gray Magic Tower and all, but it seems like it was effectively a ve contract. However, the participants of the screening test who did not know anything about it showed their shock as they flocked to where I was. What is this!! Are you saying that I have already been chosen by the God of Glory?! Not even an hour has passed!! Nonsense. What is that? Are you saying thats the amount of magical energy you just umted? Is that a person? Genius No, its more than that Its not a talent granted to mere humans. Its a monster. and. Is that what it was like? Realized. This is what natural talent is. Even if Ipared the three ancient deities, my natural talent was on a different level. The Tower of Trials probably also noticed this fact long ago, so it gave natural talent as one of its unique keywords. Now the question is resolved. The reason the Tower of Trials gave me the unique keyword natural talent was purely because the level of natural talent was at a different level. With just one innate talent, he had the talent to be a transcendental person who could reach the level of ancient godhood. Okay, with this, Ive definitely figured out one thing. I nodded and stretched out my arms as if stretching. Afterwards, he smiled brightly as he looked at the green sacred sphere still floating in the sky. Unlike before, someones consciousness and gaze could be felt in that sphere of light made of green divine power. Ugh! [ you. What on earth is it? How can you reject my call? Such as mortals. ] Perhaps there is a God of Honor beyond that green sphere of light made of divine power [ Go back. The Tower of Trials threw something strange at me. I wont have you as mine anymore, so youd better go back. If you dont do that. ] It wasughable. [The transcendental myth is activated.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons actions will be subject to the divine effect of .] [You can deny all negative changes about you that are realized due to external interference. .] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of .] [External phenomena can never imitate the power that has be yours without permission.] Since when did I take orders from people like you? Has this happened? Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! In the blink of an eye, the transcendent myth is activated, and the power that reached the end of the ancient godhead returns. [What!! What on earth is this!? Nonsense!! Why is an ancient deity here!! ] Is that why? What did you say earlier? [ . ] Go back? Otherwise, what? [ that- ] You have a knack for making people happy. Pisik-. Ill give you just 10 seconds. Laughing came out automatically. [The god of transcendence and death warns a simr higher god with murderous intent.] [You. Come out here right now.] Thats also very pleasant. Chapter 486 486. Wall (4) Silence. A cold silence flows. Emotions filled with astonishment, doubt, and fear are expressed everywhere. How on earth should I do this? It was not only the mortals who participated in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower, but also the God of Honor. Daldaldal-. The God of Honor fell into a cold sweat and fell into a deep sleep at the view seen through the mirror from the top floor of the Gray Magic Tower. I had no idea that such an ancient deity outside the standard woulde to this unremarkable dimension with its power hidden!! It was worth it. In the huge library on the lowest floor, where the selection tests for the Gray Magic Tower were held, there stood an ancient deity of a level that was rare even in the entire universe. I was able to instinctively realize that this was a being that had achieved power close to the highest level among ancient gods, unlike a being that had just entered the realm of a higher level of godhood, such as a god of honor. Kuuuk-. Its like The God of Honor instinctively clenched both hands into fists in fear, anxiety, and embarrassment, recalling an ancient deity he had seen hundreds of years ago. Yes Isnt it a hierarchy of divinity that can bepared to that of that time The past. The God of Glory was self-absorbed by the fact that he had surpassed the formal deity and had be a higher deity. At that time, anyone who nced at her would fall to their knees, and even the formal deities living on the continent would behave obediently to her. He felt as if everything in the world revolved around him, and he was intoxicated with the power he had achieved, bing arrogant and irreverent. Until one day, the owner of all demonses from the other side of the universe. Hmm. God of honor. I heard that it didnt take long for him to be a genius among geniuses and a high-ranking god, so I wanted to see for myself who he was but it fell short of my expectations. Demon God. The lord of the universe, known as one of the three ancient deities, was not only different from the higher deities or formal deities, but also different from the ancient deities belonging to the same level on the surface. Even though he only stood in front of the Demon God once, the God of Honor felt pressure and fear as if he would burst to death with a single gesture of his hand, and without anyone ordering him to do so, he fell on his knees and begged for his life. Isnt it even entertainment? I came here for no reason. I feel like a fool for expecting a good match with someone like you Its so exciting that it makes me feel worse. Luckily, the Demon God realized that the God of Honor was weaker than she thought and lost interest and returned, but that incident was remembered as the worst humiliation for her. Im sure Im angry. Its the same as it was back then. So I was confident. an ancient deity. It is something special even among monsters that have immortalized the concept. It can be considered to be on the same level as the three ancient gods and lords of the universe. In fact, the ck-haired man who participated in the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower was an extra-standard monster with power equivalent to that of the three ancient gods. What should I do? However, there was no time given to think about how to deal with a non-standard monster that was presumed to have the same level of power as the three ancient gods. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! Suddenly, an extremely ferocious divinity and spirit that could devour the gray magic tower whole flowed out from below. I should have said clearly, right? Beyond the mirror made of divinity, an extra-standard being with power equivalent to that of the three ancient gods reveals mild anger. Ill give you just 10 seconds. It is literally nothing more than really mild anger. If I were to be honest, should I say that it is an emotion closer to irritation than anger? Since it is a trivial and shallow anger, there is no need to worry too much. I wont wait any longer. However, if the subject emitting that light anger is a being with power equivalent to the three ancient gods, the story is greatly different. Its thest time. Thats because a monster outside the standard can easily destroy a without leaving a trace just by venting its anger. Come out right away. Is that why? Pot-! In the blink of an eye, the God of Honor stood up, opened the gap in space, and moved to the ce where the selection test was being conducted. Kuhuung-! As the green divine power filled the space and the God of Honor appeared, selection test participants everywhere showed all kinds of reactions. What! What is that! How can such a powerful force exist in this world? Who the hell are you? Ha ha ha ha ha!! oh. Oh my god!! I cant believe it!! Could it be that the God of Glory has descended directly?! What is that God of Honor? Are you saying that she is the greatest god on this continent? Various emotions including awe, adoration, shock and fear poured out from all directions. obviously. Even if it is impossible topare them with the ancient deities who transformed into the concept of divinity and became immortal, arent higher deities also beings with strength of a different order? It is extremely rare for a higher godhead, who is worthy of reigning as the ruler of a, to descend on an apostle or to fully reveal himself in his original form rather than as an incarnation. For that reason, those who could not achieve the hierarchy of divinity were all distracted by its strength and expressed feelings close to faith. However [The God of Glory is terrified and breaks into a cold sweat.] [.] This is only a story that applies to mortals who have not achieved the hierarchy of divinity. The God of Honor, standing in front of the Ancient Goddess who had reached the same level as the three Ancient Gods, was worried, even forgetting to breathe in the face of the fear of death more vividly than ever before. How can we send out monsters outside the standard from this without offending the lord of the universe? I have to persuade you. Please get out of here. Of course, it is necessary to survive and only then do believers not lose their faith. In the first ce, the Gray Magic Tower was a temple to serve the God of Honor before it was a power of wizards. Currently, the God of Honor gathers talented people in the Gray Magic Tower to pray and gain faith, and exerts influence through carefully selected official or prospective apostles. However, if the God of Honor within the Gray Magic Tower showed disgrace, there was a high possibility that there would be a setback in gathering faith from believers as easily as now. I couldnt kneel down and beg for the authors life like I did with the demon godst time. If you beg for your life pitifully in front of everyone, you can no longer expect to gain faith from believers. At the very least, there was a need to induce the author to talk to her alone. Because it would be best to quietly persuade the author and send him back where no one is watching. As the God of Honor tried to feign calmness while suppressing the fear rising from deep within his heart, the other person spoke first. You are the God of Honor, right? [ Thats right. Thats right. ] Would you like to repeat what you said to me earlier? [ Ah, what you said earlier? I dont really know what youre talking about. ] Pisik-. Did you forget? you. You said that if I didnt leave here, you would make me regret something, right? Tell me that again now. [ . ] Im curious. What would I have done if I didnt want toe back from here? say it. [ That. ] And. Trap, plod! The moment when the God of Honor is faced with a crossroads between life and death and desperately tries toe up with a usible excuse to answer. widely-! Suddenly, Tekal stepped forward and showed clear hostility with a cold expression. you. What a scum. How dare you say something to the God of Honor right now? [ ? ] under! A bug can die with just one gesture!! Cant you understand my topic? There is a level of foolishness. You definitely cross the line. [ . ] Embarrassingly. How dare you ask the God of Honor to say the same thing again? Where is this miserable unbeliever talking nonsense? This bug-like thing. Tekal spewed out malicious remarks without even a chance for the God of Honor to stop him, with a sneer on his lips. under! Even if the God of Honor didnt like you and wanted to punish you, whats the problem? Its a waste. [ . ] The God of Honor pursed his lips, at a loss for words, and Tekal continued his hostile words and actions. Do you think you can do anything? On the topic of trash. Even that strange talent is nothing more than a candle in front of the sunpared to me, who was chosen by the God of Honor. There is nothing like you. [ ah? Te Tekal? Why are you doing this? You can stay still. This level of rudeness is nothing to me] The God of Honor btedly noticed the seriousness of the situation and stopped Tekals rampage, but it was already far toote. Ah no, God of Glory. That bastard needs some education. Shouldnt we trample to death bugs that dont even know whats going on? Swish-. Dont worry. God of glory. I will deal with that bastard at my own discretion. Isnt that my job as an official apostle? Tekal began to raise his divine and magical powers with a confident and arrogant smile on his face. Ah After seeing that, the God of Honor was at a loss for words and clearly felt one thing. Its the end This means that there is no longer any way to persuade an ancient deity other than those standards without being humiliated in front of everyone. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo. [Level 3 Apostle Tekal shows his clear killing intent and is confident of his overwhelming victory.] [Surprising!! Nowe here you lowly bastard!! Let me tell you the meaning of being an official chosen by the God of Honor!! A genius among geniuses! I! I will make you realize that there is a sky outside the sky!! ] And. I dont really have anything to say about this. Next moment. [The god of transcendence and death is embarrassed by the ridiculous second-ss apostle.] [ you. Are you saying that because you really think that way? ] God of transcendence and death. A person who has achieved a hierarchy of divinityparable to the three ancient gods. Han Seong-yoon said this with a very strange expression as if he was dumbfounded. Chapter 487 487. Wall (5) Did I just hear correctly? It was absurd. A genius among geniuses? Will you make me realize the sky outside the sky? Isnt that a story that an apostle who is not even a formal god, let alone a higher god, can tell? . Is there something wrong with my head? Otherwise, there is no exnation. Even the god of honor standing in front of me instinctively takes a low stance, realizing that my divinity and spiritual energy have reached a level where they are out of sync. In that case, a third-level apostle who didnt receive much power from the God of Glory would single out me and offer to teach me how to enter? At this point, one begins to suspect that the official apostle named Tekal standing in front of him may be mentally defective. But that too onlysted a moment. [Level 3 Apostle Tekal looks at you and taunts with a sneer.] [Tsk tsk. Why are you just standing still like that? Are you by any chance scared? To the power of me, a genius among geniuses, chosen by this god of honor? What a fool. Slow to grasp the topic. ] Tekal still made bizarre remarks without realizing the power this side had. [Level 3 Apostle Tekal looks triumphant as if he knows exactly what you are thinking.] [Ha! I guess thats the answer? Its like trash. Ill give you a special chance, you coward. I will give you the go-ahead first time. Then even a bastard like you can have hope, right? Come and see. ] Knock, Knock, Knock -. Tekal held out his hand and waved it, with an expression full of unfounded confidence. An action that clearly shows the intention of ridicule, as if asking a subordinate of much lower rank to y a joke or make fun of him. I fixed my eyes on Tekals confident appearance and wondered why he was acting like that. Does this mean you want tomit suicide? Have we lost our will to survive in the face of the hardships of life? Among those who have honed the energy of divinity and mana, those at a high level can immediately see how powerful this side is. However, that official apostle, who is arrogant just because he was chosen by the God of Honor, is treating this group like insects without even being able to figure it out. It was difficult to understand. Its annoying. But even for a moment. Sze-. Just like that, I looked at the God of Honor standing next to me and said. What is that? [I dont know much about it. I want you to know that I have nothing to do with that guy. ] Its fun. The official apostle below you is treating me like this, but it has nothing to do with it? Thats a joke, right? [ that- ] Its not that much fun. [ . ] The God of Honor broke into a cold sweat and shifted his gaze to the side. To what extent does the other side know that what they said is unconvincing? I just stared at the God of Glory in silence for a few seconds, and when she was ovee by the force and turned pale, I let out an irritated sigh. What happened? I dont think they specifically told him to do this. Ill take a look. I watched it. Anyway, ording to the conditions for clearing the 37th floor trial issued by the Tower of Trials, the God of Honor had to bestow upon us the Seal of Talent. I didnt think I would gain much if I asked the God of Honor to take responsibility right away, so I decided to take my time and finish what I had to do first. Instead, I think they should definitely pay the price for disrespecting me like this. Noints, right? God of Honor. [ that-. ] Dont hate it. In fact, they also have a significant share in the crimes that that guymitted. You can pay the price for that guy. Shall I? [ I dont mind if the author does whatever he wants. ] Then thats enough. Well, in fact, even if the God of Honor didnt specifically allow it, I was nning to make that official apostle pay the price. h h-. The God of Honor had given permission for us to do as we pleased with that annoying official apostle, so we had no hesitation. [ Cheeky!! How dare you speak to the God of Honor like that? You will be the one who pays the price! Come and see, you scum! I myself will tear your limbs to pieces] Next moment. [Sacred are used.] [Sacred power can be consumed to influence the real world with words.] [However, words that interfere with thews of the world consume a lot of sacred power.] Kneel. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! In the blink of an eye, Tekals body fell to the ground without resistance, crushed like an ant crushed by a finger, and blood poured out. *** Tekals body was distorted and gave off a bizarre appearance, as if an ant had been pressed down with a finger. [Level 3 Apostle Tekal screams, losing his will to fight in the face of pain beyond imagination.] [ ! ] A formal apostle cannot resist even for a moment against the coercive power that is manifested by the divine by interfering with the very principles of the world. If I hadnt been holding on to that guys life, I think he would have died instantly without even knowing what happened. It was worth it. Even if there were three ancient deities in front of him, he would not have been able to easily shake off the coercive power of the divine . After experiencing the beginning of ascension through the myth , I have already reached a state where I have already crossed halfway to the realm of the ancient godhead. He could have killed at least one official apostle with just one force. Pisik-. Its just that in order to prevent Tekal from dying, this side activates the sacred to dy the other sides death, so even though he is in terrible pain, he cannot receive the rest of death. Right, right, right!! When I saw that Tekals body had finished regenerating to some extent, I walked forward with a smile on my face and said. You you said earlier that you would make me realize that there is a sky outside the sky, right? How are you going to make me realize that? Im curious. try. Hana Tekal was begging for his life, breathing heavily, as if he didnt even have time to answer our question. [Level 3 Apostle Tekal realizes your power toote and is filled with fear.] [Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Ugh! Shut up! Well, lets write! Please save me-] To be honest, I had no desire to save something like that at all. Because of that, I slowly wanted to kill that bug-like official apostle, but just before that, a good idea suddenly popped into my head. Anyway, an official apostle who is so ambiguous is not particrly helpful in his growth, regardless of whether he obtains a spirit through necromancy or not. It wasnt a bad thing to show mercy. okay. Did you say Tekal? Ill give you something to live for. Even if I kill someone like you, its not worth much. [ Wow! Is it you? Its a lyric! Ga Saha. ] You. You said you were a genius among geniuses, right? They also said that he was born with a talent that waspletely iparable to someone like me. I want to check if thats true. [ . ] dont worry. In response, I lightly ced my hand on Tekals body and gave him a light smile. If you truly have a natural talent that ispletely iparable to someone like me, you will be able to ovee it quickly. Tuk-. It was simple. When I first came here, the God of Honor tried to temporarily drain the mana of the participants in the selection test. At that time, we realized that the God of Honor had changed the properties of the mana in the air at the particle level, and by recalcting this, we learned how to make mana maniption outside the body and inside the body almost impossible. I only apply it permanently to the official apostle named Tekal so that it does not disappear until he dies. Ssssss-! [Level 3 Apostle Tekal cries out as he feels the power of divinity and mana disappearing.] [Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you you you you you you you you you you youre not a good person? ] Currently, Tekal has recovered his body, which was crushed like an ant, to the point where it can survive. Although permanent disability may remain in the body, dissipation of divinity and mana energy will not cause death. Knowing that, without hesitation, I immediately dissipated Tekals divinity and magical power, and then applied the change in the nature of magical energy to each particle, transforming it into a body in which it was very difficult to umte mana. Cheeeee-! In an instant, Tekals body changed to be no different from that of an ordinary person, and his mana-rted talents such as mana affinity and mana control were adjusted to near the bottom. Kwaaaaah! No no no no!! I am my strength! Ha dont do it! Stop!! Is it because of that? Tekal was pinned to the ground, writhing and crying, but it was no use saying that now. Tekal continued to shout for a few minutes, but eventually realized that his mana-rted talents had been adjusted to near the bottom, and he sank into despair. This cant be right. You cant feel Ma Mana at all? Thats a lie! I am me! Youve be a dull person who cant even feel mana? no no!! Tekals screams filled with despair echoed throughout the huge library for a long time. That cant be possible. That cant be happening. I am!! He is the one chosen by the God of Honor!! A genius among geniuses!! Huh huh! In the end, unlike here, he was unable to reverse calcte and solve the change in the nature of the mana particle unit and could only weep. Did you say he was a genius among geniuses? Eat. well. I dont think you have that much talent? It seems like he wasnt born with natural talent. Unlike before, when Tekal made mockery full of groundless confidence, he could not respond and only howled like an animal. Thats boring. I watched it for a while, then lost interest and turned my head to look at the God of Glory, who was as frozen as a stone statue. [The God of Transcendence and Death looks at his terrified prey and savors his appetite.] [Now that were done cing the me on a regr apostle like me, shall we get to the point? ] From now on, it was time for farming. *** wall. The God of Glory was facing an overwhelming wall of power and talent that he had never felt even after bing a high-level god. Unlike before, the God of Honor now knew that the ancient deity with extra-standard power standing before him was someone who had taken a different route. the hierarchy of divinity equivalent to the three ancient gods was not important. Natural talent. It existed for the author. There is no being who is close to an ordinary person, not a knight or a wizard, and can easily solve the mana restrictions imposed by the God of Honor through special powers by recalcting the way the change in nature was made through pure talent. genius? Can something like that exin the heterogeneity of the author? Thats a talent that may or may not exist. It was no different from a strong person with a level of divinity and soul that was in no way inferior to that of the three ancient deities. Even if he became an ancient deity, became the concept of divinity itself, and became immortal, that is a different story. Anyone who can achieve such absurd things with pure talent and technique does not exist and should not exist. Wow-. In that case, the author has not done enough to achieve that, and has now artificially adjusted the genius of the official apostle and brought it down to its lowest level. A person can control even the innate talent he or she wants That means only one thing. Isnt that something close to the power of a transcendental? God of transcendence and death. This means that the ancient deity standing before our eyes not only possesses talent bestowed from heaven, but also dominates the concept of talent itself without relying on the concept of divinity. It is a power that may be able to ovee even the hierarchy of divinity that deals with the principles of concepts through divine supernormal abilities and reach the transcendent. Jump and jump -. Is that why? The God of Honor could no longer think of resisting the author or even saving face in front of his followers. This is because in the face of a qualified person with talentparable to that of a transcendental, a high-ranking deity like her is no better than an insect. God of Glory. This is the end of the price for the rudeness of that annoying official apostle, but you are separate. know? You said something simr to that guy to me earlier. I was sure. I think you have to show some sincerity when apologizing to someone, so Id like to talk about that first. [ . ] The fact is that as time goes by, the author will even go beyond the category of ancient deities. [The God of Transcendence and Death realizes that the God of Honor has quite a few relics and shows his greed.] [You. It looks like you have quite a lot Would you like to give it all to me? Then I will forgive my rudeness earlier.] That person was literally a person with the natural talent to be a transcendent. Chapter 488 488. Resurrected (1) Is this because they showed an end to Tekal, one of the official apostles serving the God of Glory? Unlike before, the God of Honor did not show any pretense, such as sticking to informalnguage rather than formalnguage or pretending to be calm on the outside in order to protect his pride. Thanks to that, I was able to obtain all the holy relics possessed by the God of Honor very easily and without any trouble. Well, at best, the God of Honor, who is only a high-ranking god, doesnt have such a huge holy relic Its not that bad, is it? Currently, there is a mountain of unusual items piled up in the huge library prepared for the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower. [The God of Honor looks at you and bows his head so as not to offend you.] [God of transcendence and death. Please take a look, I have brought all of the relics I have, without missing a single one. Of course, you can take it all, so do whatever you want. ] Somehow, the God of Honor showed an attitude that was close to submission and treated them as carefully as possible so as not to make them angry. Its true. Even though the skill Fire Dragons Eye was used to determine truth and lies, there was no sign of lying on the other side. Eat. When I saw that, Iughed out loud and parted my lips as I stared at the God of Honor. I have a good feeling. If you still spoke informally to me as if you were a superior like before, I thought I would at least teach you some manners. I guess thats not necessary. [ . ] As soon as he heard what this person said, the God of Honor broke into a cold sweat and expressed his nervousness, but that onlysted for a moment. Tuktuk-. great job. [ . ] They expressed their intention to surrender first, so theres no reason to press them any further, right? After giving her a light pat on the shoulder, I passed by the God of Honor and looked at the numerous relics and items she had brought with her. However, contrary to appearance, the relics and items brought by the God of Honor did not have great abilities, which was disappointing. Well, the God of Honor is a being with an initial level of power among the higher deities, so you cant expect a top-ss relic. However Well, among the relics brought by the God of Honor, do three of them fall into a somewhat useful ss? Its not that there was no ie at all, but three of the relics seemed quite usable. [Elixir of Talent] [Grade: SS-] [A mysterious green potion that affects talent, created by the God of Honor with great care to enable talented people to achieve higher levels of talent.] [ With divine power . When self-taken, all abilities increase by +30, and the sense of detection and control of divinity and magic power is improved.] [ However, the Elixir of Talent only provides the effect once and has side effects when taken repeatedly . urs.] A luxurious-looking potion imbued with green divine power created with great effort by the God of Honor, a higher-ranking deity. I guess its just so-so. It increases your sense of detection and control over divinity or magical power? Not only did they achieve a level of power equivalent to the three ancient gods, but they were also able to see and learn countless techniques with just one natural talent. Just by looking at it in person, you can go beyond just watching and imitating techniques for manipting magic power or purely weapon techniques and can enhance the original techniques and develop them to a higher level. In that case, how much of a difference would it make if we now add a little advantage to that natural talent? Well, being able to increase all abilities by +30 without any restrictions or conditions will be quite helpful, so that part is definitely beneficial. However, the effect of increasing all abilities by +30 from the relic Elixir of Talent (SS-) was not bad, so I should be satisfied with it. [Divinity Destroyer] [Grade: SS] [A gray greatsword that rejects divinity, designed by a higher deity to destroy divinity itself more efficiently.] [ It has great resistance to the divinity of formal deities who have not be higher deities. When in contact with divine power, it has the property of destroying divinity.] [When the user injects and uses divine power, the exclusive effect Divinity Destroyer can be activated.] [ For a period of 100 seconds, the user can also use the concept of divinity of a higher deity. By being able to resist strongly, it bes possible to exert great resistance to divinity, the concept that is the basis of divinity.] A gray greatsword that focuses solely on resisting and destroying divinity itself. It wasnt bad, but that was it. It was ambiguous. Its not particrly good, but its not so bad that you can say its bad. When this side was a high-ranking deity, if they had obtained the holy relic Divinity Destroyer (SS), they might have considered it a huge gain, but now it is difficult to think like that. There is no need to put in so much effort now to resist and destroy the concept of divinity, such as a mere higher godhead. Thats because now, except for a few strong people who are special cases among the high-level gods, most of them can be destroyed by polluting the entire concept of divinity with divinity . Is there a need to use the holy relic Divinity Destroyer (SS) to fight against a mere higher-level deity? It wasnt. Moreover, there was no merit in using the holy relic Divinity Destroyer (SS) in front of a powerhouse equivalent to the three ancient deities in a fierce battle where life and death were at stake. It would be best to use the Seal of Offering to invest in divine power, or to convert it into an increase in ability level by eating steel. If you just change it to the skill Steel Eating, you dont have to think too badly about it because fortunately, you can get a moderate increase in ability level with the relic Sacred Destroyer (SS). [Immutability Bracelet] [Grade: SS+] [A blood-red bracelet with strong constancy that deeply assimtes the wearer so that the total amount of power cannot change, preventing the power from bing stronger or weaker.] [ When wearing the item . The users power is fixed from the time the item is worn, as it can no longer be stronger or weaker.] This is pretty good. It was great. When I saw the relic Immutability Bracelet (SS+), I narrowed my eyes and smiled lightly. To be honest, it was more useful than the relic Elixir of Talent (SS-) or the relic Divinity Destroyer (SS). even if it is a mortal restriction ced on oneself by the divine , does it not affect the total amount of power? Currently, in order to stop the start of Ascension beyond the Gate of Ascension and return, we have ced a mortal curse on ourselves that will force us to face death someday, and are weakening by the minute. If I could neutralize even the mortal constraints I had ced on myself with the divine , wouldnt it be the greatest of all the greatest? Wouldnt it be great if it could be neutralized using the relic Immutability Bracelet (SS+)? Click! Without hesitation, I wore the relic Immutability Bracelet (SS+) on my right wrist and tested whether my guess was correct. I was able to immediately distinguish between correct and incorrect answers. Is this happening? It was correct. The mortal restrictions imposed on oneself by the divine were neutralized at the same time as one wore the holy relic Immutability Bracelet (SS+). In order to prevent the weakening of divinity and the status of the soul, power has been drawn little by little from beyond the Gate of Ascension, but even the need to do so has disappeared. However, just as it prevents you from bing weak, it also makes it impossible to be stronger, so there is a big disadvantage thates with the big advantage Most of the moments of growth, including necromancy, can be known in advance, so you can just unequip it one by one each time. Do you like it? Its not even just that. If I can also neutralize the mortal restrictions I ced on myself through the divine , I will have great resistance to external interference rted to the total amount of power itself. If we can neutralize to some extent this divinity, , which has achieved a hierarchy of divinityparable to the three ancient deities, wouldnt the opposite case also be possible? Even though the mortal limitation I ced on myself with the divine is not my power, if I can neutralize it, I can withstand even if the three ancient gods directly use abnormal status abilities on me. When I realized that fact, I felt satisfied with a smile on my face. Recently, most of the items I obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials were all unsatisfactory, so I was feeling dissatisfied without knowing it, but it feels like it relieves my stress all at once. Feeling that the relic Immutable Bracelet (SS+) would have many uses in the future, I checked all the items brought by the God of Honor. Not very good. Of course, there was no such thing as extra-expected ie or hidden treasure. Just in case, I checked them all with my Fire Dragon Eye, but there is no hidden treasure here. If we had to be honest, should we say that the four relics brought by the God of Honor are unusual? Among the higher deities, there are many sacred relics that are too much for a being who has achieved the hierarchy of divinity, which is only at the initial stage. I thought perhaps even that was possible because the God of Honor was the ruler of the world and had swallowed an entire. [.] [The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect Offering is activated.] [You have received 147 items as an offering from yourself.] [Rece the relevant items with divine power to strengthen your heart. umted in.] Gooooo-! In an instant, numerous items brought by the God of Honor turned into a handful of divine power and entered the body. [Skill Steel Eating is activated.] Sigh, wow! [.] [Complete absorption.] [Strength increases by 7.] [Stamina increases by 4.] [Durability increases by 5.] [Magic power increases by 6.] [Concept increases by 4. .] Its amazing? Is it because the relic Sacred Destroyer (SS) was changed to the skill Steel Feeding this time? Nowadays, even if one absorbs themands of most high-ranking gods, all abilities do not increase this much, but the increase in all abilities was greater than expected. It is no exaggeration to say that it was rewarding to treat the God of Honor with mercy and persuasion(?) instead of killing him out of nowhere. It is not wrong to say that good deeds go around and eventuallye back to me. In fact, isnt good deeds like a bug where power is copied? DYou really do a variety of things. Do you not like the fact that you did a good deed and got great benefits as a result? Dam Cheon-woo, who read through the shared awareness that this side realized the virtue of good deeds, should have said that, but did not respond in particr. Instead, I was able toe up with an interesting idea as I watched the selection test participants standing around and the excited God of Honor. her. What is this. Did the God of Honor offer up a sacred object to that unknown person? This cant be right. Shh. Be quiet. The author no. I guess Im someone you cant call that kind of person. That person didnt reveal who he was. You better watch your mouth. Hmm. Does that mean the author is a being higher than the God of Glory? Even more so than the god of honor who holds the most power in the entire continent? This is unbelievable From our perspective, they were very weak, but they had incredible power, but that was only based on the hierarchy of divinity. Not from a mortals point of view. All of those who participated in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower are strong people with the power to be called superhumans in the world. If so, the value of use was also sufficient. It would be better to gain everything you can in order to reach the end of the path to bing a transcendent beyond the Gate of Ascension. Jump and jump -. Then, I approached the God of Honor and, with a grin on my face, parted my lips and made a suggestion. you. Do you like it? From now on, follow me, worship me, and make offerings at regr intervals. [ yes? What is that I apologize, God of Transcendence and Death. As a higher deity, I already have my own temple and congregation, but] Uh. I know. You dont seem to understand Ill just exin it briefly. Im asking you to hand it all over to me. [ ? ] It was hard, right? You have to build a temple and gather believers. Even though you have be a high-ranking deity, you must have had to take care of all kinds of bad work. But not anymore. [ Well Im fine. Its not that hard. yes. Of course. It wasnt difficult or painful at all, and I didnt think it was a bad thing] Hey. [ . ] Is it possible that they feel burdened by the difference in rank in front of the power this side has and are giving it away for no reason? I also know how hard it is for those who are high-level gods to build a temple and gather believers. In theory, if a higher deity creates a temple on its own, the temple will not be able to fulfill its function, and wouldnt it be difficult to gather believers and directly disy power due to causality? Tuk-. Then I put my arm around the God of Honor and continued the conversation in a rxed tone. You dont have to do that for no reason. Can I answer honestly? Its been hard so far. yes? [ ah. Ha ha ha ha ha. okay. When I think about it again, I think it was quite difficult. ] But. Yes. From now on, you dont have to go through much trouble; you can build a temple for me yourself and gather a reasonable amount of believers. I will allow it. Even though this side gave me the opportunity with a big heart, I wonder if all the hesitation hasnt gone away yet. [ that. Ah, no matter what, I think it might be a bit difficult to get to that point ] To help the other sidee to a better conclusion, I gave a little but strong force to the shoulder joint. Wow-. Im serious? [ . ] As if that wasnt enough, I looked into the eyes of the God of Honor and smiled coolly, and soon the right answer came out. [The God of Glory looks empty and vows to make you the object of worship.] [God of transcendence and death. It is an honor to serve you as my master. Please take care of it. ] That too, very definitely. [The God of Transcendence and Death smiles broadly as he realizes that he was lucky enough to obtain a free ve.] [Thats correct. ] Well, from the beginning, it was a problem with a fixed oue where there was absolutely no possibility of getting a wrong answer instead of a correct answer. *** After the God of Honor responded that they would serve this side, everything was handled smoothly. [.] [The ancient divine power Designate Apostle Godhood is activated.] [By designating the Apostle Godhood, you can make a believer a Godhead or a believer into an Apostle Godhead.] Before I knew it, I had ced my hand on the head of the God of Honor. He was appointing her as an apostle. [The god of transcendence and death designates the deity believer Kirea as an apostle deity.] Are they happy to be able to serve a being who canpare to the three ancient deities? [The God of Honor expresses his gratitude while barely holding back his tears.] [God of transcendence and death. Kirea, the God of Honor, is honored to serve you. ] After the process of designating the Apostle as Godhead waspleted, the God of Honor answered with tears in his eyes. okay. Lets do well in the future. Understand? [ yes. I will not disappoint you.] With that, I realized that I had seen every advantage that could be gained from this ce, and began preparing to return. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 37th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a breakthrough reward, Book of Talent and Honor (SS-) will be sent to your inventory.] [You have obtained 3500000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [Breakthrough You have obtained 400000 SP as a reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Nameless Grimoire (S-) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] In an instant, the God of Glory is for those who passed the selection test. The conditions for clearing the trial were met by handing over the prepared seal of talent. Turp, plod, trudge -. So, I approached the portal in the middle of the huge library, turned my head back, and smiled at the rest of the selection test participants. If you believe in your own natural talent, it wouldnt be a bad thing to believe in yourself rather than the God of Glory. No answer came back. Everyone who participated in the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower just stood there with their mouths closed. I took one look at the red-haired young man who had started an argument when I had just arrived here, and then turned my head to see him trembling in shame and fear. The seeds were sown. In the future, depending on what the God of Honor and the participants in the selection test do, crops may grow from seeds and produce delicious fruits. Something you will find out over time. Swish-. That was it. *** [Entered the waiting room on the 38th floor.] After returning to the Tower of Trials, I activated the reward increase and changed the reward for clearing the 37th floor trial into an item of a higher level. [.] [Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase in reward] is activated.] [The level of reward is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase in reward].] [Reward for breaking through to the 37th floor Talent and Book of Honor (SS-) are strengthened to Book of Glory for Brilliant Talent (SSS-).] [Additional 37th floor breakthrough reward Nameless Book of Grimoire (S-) is changed to Book of Grimoire of the Great Sage (SS-).] Now it was time to check each item that the Tower of Trials gave as a reward for clearing the 37th floor trial and take time for maintenance. Well, its unlikely that the items are of that high level, so lets quickly finish checking the rewards and go to the next floor. The moment I opened my inventory and checked the items given as a reward for passing the 37th floor ordeal. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! A strange thing happened. [The newly collected tales have umted enough to create myths.] [The myths are calcted ording to actual results and Shinto beliefs.] [.] Huh? System messages appeared before my eyes very quickly and I felt a new powering into me. [A significant portion of the tales originate from Apostle Godheads and Godhead believers.] [You were born with natural talent and achieved a level of power equal to that of the three ancient Godheads of the universe.] [An unprecedented feat in the history of the universe. Numerous gods worship and praise you, who have achieved this, and sing of transcendence to the far beyond and of a great death that reduces even immortality to mortality.] There is definitely something different from the general myth or the transcendence myth created by the divine . It was a force that felt different. [Ancient myths are created taking into ount the stories and beliefs originating from the Apostle Godhead and Godhead believers.] [Divinity is applied to ancient mythology and is upgraded to a heavenly mythology with originality.] [Heavenly Myth This has beenpleted.] [.] Strangely enough. Chapter 489 489. The Resurrected (2) At the same time as system messages appear before my eyes, I feel a new power settling within me. [Ancient myths are created taking into ount the stories and beliefs originating from the Apostle Godhead and Godhead believers.] [Divine is applied to ancient mythology and upgraded to a heavenly myth containing originality.] [Heavenly Myth has beenpleted.] [.] Heavenly Myth. It was not a general myth or a transcendental myth influenced by the divine , but a new power that had never been seen before. Is it because he suddenly gained a new power called the heavenly myth at apletely unexpected time? What is this again? Embarrassment was more important than joy. Lately, even though it hasnt been the case, it seems like its time to create a general myth or a transcendent myth I never thought that I would gain such unprecedented new power as soon as I returned to the Tower of Trials. . There is no guess. Why has it now acquired a new power called celestial mythology rather than general mythology or transcendental mythology? I thought that maybe it was because of what I had done on my way to ascend to heaven and be a transcendent, but the answer came from a different ce. -ah. I remember. Is this what it was like back then? Thats the power you gained when you became an ancient god. Suddenly, from within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword, Dam Cheon-woo spoke as if he knew what this was. Thats what it was back then. Do you know what that is? I think Im seeing it for the first time now. -Well, it happened quite a long time ago, so it wouldnt be unreasonable to forget it. I also wonder why Im getting it now but I remember it. Dont waste time and tell me the right answer. -Tsk. I was nning on letting you know without much prompting. You always add things you dont need to say. Its simple. That is an ancient myth that only immortals who have be ancient gods can obtain. Well, it was somewhat modified. ah. At this point, I also realized why I got this heavenly myth. I remembered. Its no different. Designation of Apostle Godhood Category: Ancient Grade: SSS- A qualification that only ancient gods who are worshiped by gods can have. Even if he is a god, he can be made an apostle. And if the conditions are met, a believer who is not a god can be made into an apostle of godhood. If you wish, you can reach the level ofpulsory godhood by bestowing one of the divinity possessed by ancient gods. The more gods are worshiped, the more directly they can help the Apostle Godhead reach thepulsory level of godhood. Myths created through faith received from the godhead are ssified as ancient myths and are created only through faith gained through the worship of the godhead. This was it. Apostolic Godhead designation (SSS-). It was because of the power that allowed one to create an apostle godhead with the power obtained by satisfying the acquisition conditions on the battlefield of the gods in the past. This power, which allows ordinary believers to forcibly create the Apostle Godhead, also had a function that allowed them to obtain the ability called Ancient Myth through faith generated through worship of the Godhead. I guess thats why. The questions that had filled my mind disappeared all at once. Divinity is applied to ancient mythology and is upgraded to a heavenly myth with originality. It was simple. By making the God of Honor, one of the higher deities, the Apostle Godhead, the amount of faith received from the gods has reached a certain level. As if that were not enough, the power of ancient mythology, first obtained through the divine , was transformed into a celestial mythology and took on a higher level of status. Should I think of it as a transcendental myth or something? If we were to be specific, transcendence mythology is also a power influenced by the divine , so it can be seen as belonging to a simr category to heavenly mythology. I never thought I would gain new strength now, but its surprising. Why have we now gained the power of ancient mythology and the celestial mythology beyond that? Once he also knew the cause of the phenomenon, it was not that difficult to draw a conclusion. Ancient mythology only revealed its presence at a very bted time because it was a power created solely by faith gained through the worship of a deity. Ever since I began to be worshiped by many gods, I realized that it was a power that I had no choice but to obtain at some point. Heavenly Myth. Is it an ancient myth that gained originality through the divine ? Thats interesting. The moment I resolved all the questions that arose in my head and checked the power of the heavenly myth . . As it was, I couldnt help but smile with my eyes wide open. [Heavenly Myth has beenpleted.] [Heavenly Myth umtes in divine power.] [From now on, the divinity effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.] [The amount of all types of faith that challenger Han Seong-yoon gains through the worship of believers increases by 100%, making it easier for him to be feared by the gods.] [The amount of faith umted by challenger Han Seong-yoon also continues to increase over a certain period of time.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of .] [Every time challenger Han Seong-yoon gains faith from a believer, his divinity and soul size grow and strengthen without limit.] [Every time challenger Han Seong-yoon gains faith from believers, his presence grows and it bes very easy for him to be worshiped by others.] Does this make sense? Thats because the heavenly myth was an extra-standard power that could theoretically copy the Shinto faith, which even the three ancient deities had no choice but to attach importance to. *** Apart from this persons wide-eyed shock, Dam Cheon-woo looked dumbfounded andughed and treated them lightly. -her. Well, Ive seen so many situations that dont even seem like words anymore, so Im not particrly surprised. Rather, it feels familiar, as if this is normal. A sense of detachment is evident, as if he has continued to see miraculous events and now doesnt feel particrly surprising. -I assure you. If there was such a thing as a past life, you would have been a fraud like no other in the world. Are you sure. Its something that cant be exined otherwise. . I couldnt really deny it. I also had no idea that the heavenly myth would have such incredible power. Perhaps because of that, Damcheon Woo rang out the de of the Bloodcheon Demon Sword, muttered a few words, and with a sigh sank into his consciousness. -okay. A sessful person can do anything, anywhere in the world. Those words probably exist for you. He seems like a fraudster. However, despite this, unlike Dam Cheon-woo, I still felt my heart beating violently and could not easily calm down my excitement. What should I say about this? I was sure. It is literally a power that is far beyond the scope ofmon sense. It was truly an extra-standard power that could confirm for certain that the heavenly myth had not even obtained the three ancient deities. If anyone other than the three ancient gods had obtained the power of the heavenly myth , they could have be transcendent a long time ago. obviously. Not only does the amount of faith gained through believer worship increase by 100%, but it also increases like interest based on the amount of faith umted in advance? It was a scam. If we were to be really specific, should we say that it is at the level of creating something from nothing? In their opinion, the heavenly myth was, in theory, like a cheat key that could increase the amount of faith without limit with neither too much nor too little faith equivalent to the initial investment. Not only is it not enough to increase the amount of faith gained through worship by believers by 100%, but you can also continuously increase faith in proportion to the amount of faith you have already umted, like interest on deposits in a bank? This is truly ridiculous. How on earth can such an absurd power exist? Arent even the three ancient godheads of the universe concerned about withdrawing faith from believers by establishing religious groups? For beings who achieved the hierarchy of divinity, the value of faith was very great, unless they were transcendent. The power of divinity, soul, tales, and faith are great resources that even powerful people who have be ancient gods and immortals cannot help but endlessly seek. Therefore, the supernormal abilities of the heavenly mythology cannot help but shine even more. Isnt this almost at the level of increasing the amount of faith gained through worship by believers, as if mass-producing a product in a factory? In fact, just having the heavenly mythology eliminates the need to focus on collecting beliefs. In particr, I have not intentionally created a religious group somewhere and regrly receive faith from believers. Well, I guess there are people somewhere who arbitrarily regard this as an object of worship and send their faith First of all, that is the case. Compared to the three ancient deities as well as the general higher deities, the amount of faith I gather is not that much. This was because I was purely focused on bing stronger by climbing the Tower of Trials. Rather than bing stronger over time, didnt you choose the path of gaining strength quickly in a fierce battle between life and death? As a result, this side has not been able to systematically obtain the faith of believers through ces such as religious groups. Because of this, the amount of faith gained is not thatrgepared to higher-level gods, let alone ancient gods. However, just because he obtained the heavenly mythology , everything changed from before. It was a very big feeling. I feel it. Tsutsutsu!! I narrowed my eyes and felt the energy of faith flowing in from outside. Somewhere in this universe, people who worship this side for various reasons are sending their faith. The amount of faith generated by the worship of the believers is doubled by the heavenly mythology . In addition, the amount of faith umted twice as fast by the heavenly myth does not stop there, but increases in proportion to the amount of faith stored in advance, like interest on a deposit. It all felt very vivid. Its so overwhelming that it cant even bepared to before. Its not even just that. and thats not enough, every time you gather faith, your divinity and the size of your soul grow at an incredible rate. Is it because of the power of the seeker of all things, the divine effect of the heavenly mythology ? Every time I gained faith from believers who did not know where they were, my divinity and the size of my soul were growing noticeably. I thought that perhaps at the beginning of the ascension that one must go through to be a transcendental person, it might be the starting point for obtaining a vessel of a sizeparable to that of a universe. If the size of your divinity and soul increases without limit as you build your own faith, theoretically, one day you will be able to have a size of divinity and soul that rivals that of the universe. If a lot of time passes, you may be able to easily set yourself on the path to bing a transcendent just by establishing religious groups throughout the universe and simply building faith. If he was also ignorant, it would have been a path to satisfying the basic conditions for bing a transcendent. But this is not the path I should take. step. This is just a story based on the premise that this person can devote an unfathomable amount of time to bing a transcendent. The civilized society of the modern Earth is considered a story from the past, and over the eons long before the Earth has reached extinction, people have built faith throughout the universe and entered the path of transcendence in the distant future. Even in my opinion, it was not an ideal methodology for bing a transcendent. Well, if I were to live as long as the three ancient godsbined, it wouldnt be an impossible story If I had just chosen to naturally be stronger over time, there was a high possibility that I would not have be even a high-level god, let alone an ancient god, at this time. Its irrational. Isnt that what you hoped for by climbing the Tower of Trials and entrusting yourself to a fierce battle between life and death? From the moment we developed the unique characteristic Necromancy in the Tower of Trials, didnt we have a way to be as strong as we can as long as we spend time on it? However, despite this, the reason he chose to climb the Tower of Trials and fight head-on against all kinds of powerful enemies was because he was far from bing stronger. If I had chosen to be stronger by recklessly pouring time and resources into the Tower of Trials from the beginning, I wouldnt have evene this far. The story is no different this time either. Because there is no such thing as a huge reward in the world thates without risk. High risk leads to high return. From the time I just started climbing the Tower of Trials to now, the fact itself has not changed at all. Even if you turn your back on risk and move forward on a path without responsibility, you will slowly begin to sink into the swamp of tranquility and one day you will pay the price ofcency. There is no need for that. Because I know this better than anyone else, I have set aside a path that I can walkfortably by obtaining the heavenly mythology . I just have to go my own way. As my thoughts came to an end, even the slightest hesitation was immediately blown away like the wind. Even the fact that I acquired powers beyond the standard of the heavenly myth was ultimately because I was immersed incency and did not take the easy path. I was sure. A considerable amount of the tales originate from the Apostle Godhead and Godhead believers. You are gifted with natural talent and have achieved a level of power equal to that of the three ancient godheads of the universe. Numerous gods worship and praise you for aplishing an unprecedented feat in the history of the universe, sing of transcendence to the far beyond, and sing of a great death that reduces even immortality to mortality. Power on par with the three ancient gods. An unprecedented feat in the history of space. A belief that originates from numerous gods. Its the power I got from everythinging together. Im not going the wrong way. This is a very special power that only I and no one else in the entire universe can have. Pisik-. With that, I was able to easily shake off any thoughts of relying on new power and strengthen my determination to pursue my existing n. Thats fun. Thanks to obtaining the Heavenly Myth , there is one less thing to prepare. In the future, instead of creating a religious group to gain faith like now or showing off their power, they just need to focus on preparing to be a transcendent by climbing the Tower of Trials. The good news was that this was not all. As I cleared the 37th floor trial presented by the Tower of Trials, I also found out to some extent what Choice of Choice and Unique Keyword essentially mean. In fact, I thought it would be more difficult not to realize the true intention of the tower hidden below. A ce of choice. And unique keywords. At first nce, these two seem like tools for selecting a suitable trial theme for a challenger but in reality, they are slightly different. Isnt that right? Choice of Choice and unique keywords are functions provided by the Tower of Trials to increase the challengers potential to the limit. The reason the Tower of Trials attracts challengers from countless worlds in the first ce is to create the most perfect God yer. Definitely. That means only one thing. The Tower of Trials seeks to develop to the limit the talents and qualifications of challengers who have risen to the upper ranks to be transcendents. The field of choice and the unique keywords mean that the Tower of Trials is a function to select the challengers talents and qualifications to be a transcendent and hone them to the limit. *** Does this mean that from now on, the Tower of Trials will no longer do things like blindly forcing challengers into a corner and giving them rewards? Are you saying that the upper ss ispletely different from the lower ss? It has be more thorough. The Tower of Trials also recognized the challengers who came this far as strong and did not seem to deny that they had the slightest possibility of bing transcendents. It was a thought closer to certainty rather than spection. A ce of choice. And unique keywords. They are literally a device used by the Tower of Trials to stimte the potential of upper-ss challengers to the limit and develop them into transcendents. There was no possibility that their thinking was wrong. Im starting to understand. The Tower of Trials is a ce of choice and a unique keyword The goal is to more efficiently develop the potential of the challenger. Disys a total of 17 unique keywords owned by challenger Han Seong-yoon by exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice]. In the past, when I activated the Field of Choice and looked into the unique keywords I had, I was told that I had a total of 17 unique keywords. How many unique keywords do high-tier challengers who have climbed the Tower of Trials typically have? Since it was something I wasnt particrly interested in, I couldnt find out how many unique keywords a typical(?) upper-tier challenger had. However, apart from that, it is possible to specte if the Tower of Trials categorizes unique keywords into qualifications and talents to be a transcendent as a way to increase the possibility of bing a transcendent in the field of selection. Even a challenger who has ascended the Tower of Trials to a higher level usually does not have 17 qualifications or talents to be a transcendent. If we are to be honest, it is highly likely that this is a non-standard case that is different from the normal case. Even if you set the minimum conditions for the qualifications and talents to be a transcendent and ssify them, it is unlikely that you will be able to find many of them. The fact that the Tower of Trials limits the number of unique keywords and trial themes that can be selected as a field of choice to three at a time also adds to the basis for the inference. It is not very likely that the guess is wrong, but just in case, if you have to face the integration testter, it would not be toote to go and ask the people involved. Well, for the total of 17 unique keywords that we have identified as a venue for selection, the official names of the unique keywords are probably obscured by ck boxes or noise, let alone the evidence on which spection is based. Because of that, I also have no way of properly finding out what those unique keywords mean and symbolize right now It wasnt a big problem. If you continue to specify unique keywords and clear trials as a ce of choice, you will be able to get a feel for it. obviously. Tuk-. [.] [Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.] [Exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice] presents three options based on challenger Han Seong-yoons unique keyword.] [With exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice], you can confirm the Ordeal Theme when you select one of the three options.] There is a lot of time left. [Choose one of three options.] [One. me of Destruction] [2. Beetle mania?] [3. Chaotic $] For some reason, wouldnt it be possible to learn about the unique keywords hidden in the Tower of Trials one by one by activating the Field of Choice? Its not difficult. If so, it is very simple. Hold-. [Selectionpleted.] [Autonomous selection of the ordeal theme was made.] [ording to the unique keyword Chaos $, the trial theme was confirmed as The Demon Kings Vessel Embracing Chaos.] Finalyer. All you have to do is find out everything yourself through trials until you reach the top of the growth stage that the Tower of Trials has prepared for challengers. If you can figure out most of the qualifications and talents that this person has to be a transcendent, that in itself will be a great help in preparing to be a transcendent. Lets go without wasting time. By clearing the 37th floor trial of the Tower of Trials, I had clearly established the method of conquering theyers and the tips for identifying unique keywords. Ok. therefore. [Enter the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [Difficulty C Hard] [The theme of the trial is The Demon Kings Vessel Embracing Chaos.] [I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.] shall we start. This meant that from now on, we would climb to the final floor at the fastest speed we could achieve without wasting time. Chapter 490 490. The Resurrected (3) After making the decision to climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor as quickly as possible, it wasnt difficult to carry out the decision. [Selectionpleted.] [Autonomous selection of the ordeal theme was made.] [ording to the unique keyword Chaos $, the trial theme was confirmed as The Demon Kings Vessel Embracing Chaos.] In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that this group has learned all the methods and tricks to more efficiently climb to the upper levels in the 37th floor trial given by the Tower of Trials. [Enter the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [Difficulty C Hard] [The theme of the trial is The Demon Kings Vessel Embracing Chaos.] [I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.] Is that why?

Preliminaries? Should I say Im lucky? [Hoo. For those who want to take over the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos, their level is quite high. Unlike thest riders, I dont think these riders will die like idiots. ] To be honest, since the trial on the 37th floor of the Tower of Trials was also a test to select apostles, I thought the original pattern would continue like a little bone broth(?) [What happened? Everyone knows what it is, right? Introductions or greetings. There wont be any need for that. After all, not many of you will be able to hold your breath until a few minutester. There is one rule. Its winner-takes-all. ] It wasnt. [Giggle-! Now, you get the idea, right? From now on, kill each other. The carnage doesnt stop until only one of you is left on the field. There is only one rule. ] When an ancient demon who looked like a beast with a goats head said that, a ughter war suddenly began. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hahahahaha! Winner takes all? A ughter battle until only one person remains in the arena? Haaa!! Im excited!! the best!! Its annihtion!! Kehi kehi kehihi! Its good, but its good!? Ah, this is a very hot story!! You can take over the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos just by killing these insignificant little things!! Its the rest of the business!! Puhaha! Hehehe, is it really~? Is it real, is it real, is it real!? Kihihi!! Its awesome!! This one and that one are all top quality ingredients!! Fantastic! The best dinner is about to begin!! Without wasting time or even a short exnation, a situation urred where hundreds of demons and demons began to fight each other, biting each other, in a stadium like a coliseum. Its off to a great start, isnt it? I stood in the middle of the stadium and raised the corners of my mouth in satisfaction. Its like being thrown into a ughter battle without even a basic exnation In fact, to tell you the truth, the stage where you can kill everyone without having to think deeply about this or that is one of my favorite fight structures. uh? Is there a human in the middle of the stadium over there? Could it be that that guy also came to take over the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos? Kihaha! Is it true!! Haaa! human? Human? Its real! Haaaa!! Does it keep the excitement from fading? Do you guys know that? Its so fun to kill a scared person by very slowly decapitating him!! Hehehe! Human? Course mealposition!! So so so so!! Its perfect! I need to rip out that guys fresh intestines and eat them right now! Move!! Moreover, my joy grew even greater when I saw the enemies attacking me as if they wereing to kill ordinary people without any suspicion, not even knowing what kind of power this side had. Ujik, eujik, eujik-! Just like that, I lightly kicked the ground and moved at supersonic speed, tearing off the heads of the three demons and throwing them away. Paaaang-! The sonic boom rang out one stepter, and at the same time, the demons who were engaged in a ughter war turned their heads and looked at where this person was standing. uh? What? How did this happen? Why are they dead? Why is this human still alive and well? Question question question! I dont know! Tell me the answer! Kick kick kick!! Dont be fooled by things like those with double heads! That guy is not human! Cant you see it? The power of the devil emanating from that guys body!! Thats the fallen demon lord who stole the shell of a human! Kikikik! A fallen demon lord? Its not. It was absurd. [Skill King of Ten Thousand Demons is strongly activated.] Its quite pathetic to see them not being able to guess even one thing correctly. The only thing they did was activate the old favorite skill King of Ten Thousand Demons. The things they were talking about, like he was a fallen demon lord or something, werepletely different from the truth. However, despite this, the gaze pouring in from all directions changed very quickly. From a useless scarecrow who doesnt know why hes here, to apetitor who must be dealt with first. Suddenly, the ughter in the stadium stopped temporarily, and all the demons exchanged nces with each other and, as if in unison, rushed towards where I was standing. fault-! Kihaha! Kill, kill, kill!! Are you hoping to regain glory by taking over the vessel of the fallen demon lord who embraces chaos?! No way! All you have to do is kill it with a quick attack!! Hehehe! Wow, I was lucky enough to be chosen by the demon god, wow wow monkey!! Kill me! My my me! eat! From head to toe! Time to defend the bar! I wont give it to you! The fallen demon lord. Are you lucky? Hes also slow to react. Its easy to kill. That guy must have a lot, right? It would be fun to peel and eat it. Im going to have some fun hairing a corpse! Ah ha! Crazyughter erupts from all directions, and attacks using not only ck magic but also all kinds of magical energy are poured out. Kufuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Its slow. I felt like I was going to yawn. Well, it seemed like some of them saw me standing still and thought that I couldnt even react to the joint attack To be honest, we are just yawning and waiting to see what they will do with them. Lets clean it up. I briefly considered ying with them, hoping they would help me figure out my unique keywords, but the conclusion didnt change. Its hard to figure out unique keywords with people like them anyway. The real thing begins not now, but after the ughter is over. Those guys werent even worth ying with. [Transcendence Myth is activated.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons movements will be subject to the divine effect of .] [When activating the divine , depending on the users capabilities, movements reaching the speed of light can be achieved.] [?

Immediately after this effect is activated, you will pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.] Touwoong-. The moment he frowns and lightly raises his finger as if he is pathetic, then snaps the tip of his finger and sends an overwhelming physical force forward. ! In an instant, the enormous physical force emitted from the fingertips heated the air so hot that it became incandescent and a huge explosion urred. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Pure physical force spread out in all directions as if a nuclear explosion had urred, and a mushroom cloud rose across the sky, signaling the end of the ughter. *** Stadium? There wasnt even a single original building left. Well, the stadium itself seemed to have been made of solid material, as they were told to engage in a ughter battle between demons without any basic exnation, but it was useless. It was an ordinary blow that didnt specifically strengthen the body with magic, but it was meaningless. In fact, what they did was just gather a little bit of strength and snap their fingertips at the speed of light. Jump and jump -. The goat-headed ancient demon from earlier was looking at me with empty eyes outside the stadium, thanks to the help I saved by controlling the aftereffects of my power. widely-. Standing in front of him, I spoke with my lips in a harsh tone. You told me earlier to fight until there was only one person left in the stadium, right? [.] Well, the stadium itself was destroyed, but I think the conditions they proposed were satisfied, is that correct? [ uh? yes? Ah thats right. Huh. Not like that. Ha ha ha ha ha. But I dont know why someone like you came here. Ho, can you tell me what the reason is ] I dont like it. [.] Why dont we just shut up and move on to the next step? [ Ha ha ha ha ha! yes! Yes! Thats how it should be! Im a bit clueless, so Imte in getting things done. Now here is the vessel of the devil who embraces chaos. Ill give it to you. Hehehehe. ] Just-! The moment when the goat-headed demon puts his index and middle fingers together and snaps his fingers loudly. Goooo! In the empty air, something that looked like a throne mixed with ck and purple appeared. Well, it had to be a little different from ck magic, but the principles and results of the technology themselves could be imitated, so it wasnt interesting. Rather, I began to worry about someones consciousness that could be felt on the throne, a mixture of ck and purple that was continuously flowing out magical energy. Do you want to y hide and seek? [.] What are you doing? at there. I can see everything hiding inside that ugly chair. Just stop being annoying ande out. [.] no? Well then. If you want to y hide and seek, Ill join you. Instead, you die the moment you catch me. know? [.] Look forward. As I walked forward, pointing to someone hiding inside the jet ck and purple throne, something strange happened. Whi-profit-! Suddenly, something like a ck shadow escaped from the throne that was floating in the empty air. Running away. Where are you going to run away from such a slow subject? Suddenly-. At that moment, I lightly leaped into the air and grabbed something that looked like a ck shadow. Gotcha. [ Hhhhh!!! ] In the blink of an eye, a scream burst out from the ck shadow and a voice full of fear rang out. [ Hehehe! Me crazy! Oh donte! go away! Get out! Oh my gosh! Ahhhhh! ] The taste was good in its own way. I feel like I caught a big fish. Well, rather than catching a big fish, it would be more correct to say that I caught a parasite that was waiting for an opportunity. Shirrick-! The guess was not wrong. [Hehehehe! There you go! Got it! You monster!! I will gratefully receive that body!! ] Suddenly, the ck shadow was caught in the grip and struggling, and suddenly it stretched out tentacles made of shadow and attempted to take control of the body. [ Puhahaha!! Congrattions, winner!! I will give you the vessel of the devil who embraces chaos, so give me that monstrous body of yours! Its a winning prize! Hahaha! ] Perhaps the vessel of the devil that embraces chaos itself was a kind of parasite rather than a winning prize Pudduk-. Its not like poetry. [Kaaaaaaaaagh!? ] I have to find the talent and qualifications to be a transcendent from people like you [Kaaaaaaaaaa! Ah Altormon!! Bad guy!! Katzlian!! Anybody, please help me!! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Wow!! ] Its ridiculous. However, unlike what this person just said, the unique keyword Chaos $ was chosen as a sensuous choice. I had to gradually realize what this meant. [.] [Error correction.] [The official name of the unique keyword Chaos $ is revealed as Chaos Natural Enemy.] Was it this? Even if there are any schemes and tricks waiting in chaos, I think it is the natural enemy of chaos because it can ovee all of them. It could have been a wrong answer, but it wasnt. The Tower of Trials also revealed that the unique keyword Chaos Natural Enemy was correct, and I also had a strong intuition in my soul that this was correct. It means that it is a clear correct answer. However, apart from that, there was also something new that I learned. I feel like this is something I learned acquired rather than being born with it Somehow, unlike the unique keyword natural talent, the unique keyword natural enemy of chaos seemed closer to acquired rather than innate. In other words, since the possibility of bing a transcendent is selected, it does not only refer to innate talents and qualifications. Doesnt that mean that the unique keywords given by the Tower of Trials are the result of evaluating not only innate factors but also acquired factors? Then, some of the unique keywords can be matched purely by guessing. To be honest, it would have been easy to guess if it was the result of considering both innate and acquired factors. If you look back at what this team has done while climbing the Tower of Trials, you can guess what the unique keywords are. It was an unintended benefit. Its over. I have seen all the benefits. Crunch-. Confirming that there was no need to waste any more time, I crushed something like a ck shadow tightly held in my right hand and collected the energy umted within it. [Kekkeekkeek!! ] Well, he had to make a strange sound as if he was strangling me, but that onlysted for a moment. Parker Gak-. Hes dead. I lost my life when I pulled out all the demonic energy from the ck shadow, which seemed to be the vessel of the demon king who embraces chaos. [ Ha ha ha ha ha. Congrattions Chu. that-. Can I say that you are the new new master? I youre going to save me, right? Hehehehe. ] The goat-headed demon who was standing next to him came towards us, rubbing his palms, but he wasnt particrly interested anymore, so he shook his head and smiled. no. Thats it for you. Theres no need to keep you alive so just die. [ yes? Oh no! Now wait a minute! I am very useful! Let me buy it and save it. ] Sizzling! no. In response, I crushed the goat-headed demon to death like a piece of paper and then turned my head. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a reward for breakthrough, the Stand for Those Embracing Chaos (SS-) will be sent to your inventory.] [You have earned 3800000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [You have obtained 420000 SP as a breakthrough reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Exploiters Gauntlet (A-) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] It was neat. [.] [Activates exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation].] [The level ofpensation is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation].] [The reward for breaking through the 38th floor, Staff for those who embrace chaos (SS-), is strengthened to Ne of the predator who swallowed chaos (SSS-).] [The 38th floor additional breakthrough reward Exploiters Gauntlet (A+) is strengthened to Exploiters Blood Gauntlet (S+).] Next moment. hook-. [Entered the waiting room on the 38th floor.] After seeing that I had cleared the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials, I returned to the waiting room. Has about 30 minutes passed? To be honest, they cleared the ordeal so quickly that it didnt even feel like they came back to rest. It looks like he just went on an outing and came back. Perhaps because of that, I opened my inventory and checked the newly acquired items, feeling strangely regretful. Theyre not exactly items of the level I would use. It was perfect for adding abilities and sacred power using the skill Steel Eating or the Seal of Offering, so I did just that. The same goes for points and SP. Now, Ive been buying ordinary items from stores with great care, but since theres no need to actually use them, Ive been using them carelessly. The point side was good because it could be used to increase special abilities such as conceptual abilities, but the SP side did not have many uses, so it was used appropriately. hmm. Since I wasnt particrly injured or used up any one-time items, I couldnt feel anything special. Is maintenance sufficient at this point? I had no intention of wasting time. There is nothing else to do right away except moving forward. Therefore, as soon as I used up all the rewards for clearing the trial, I took on the next floor of the trial without hesitation. Hold-. [.] [Selectionpleted.] [Autonomous selection of the ordeal theme was made.] [The ordeal theme has been confirmed as World Destroyer ording to the unique keyword Wrath of Destruction.] and. [You will enter the 39th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [Difficulty C Hard] [The theme of the trial is World Destroyer.] [I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.] ordingly, the moment when system messages appear very quickly in the field of view. [The 39th floor ordeal begins.] [Remaining time C 100 days] [Conditions for passing the ordeal C As a descendant of the world destroyer, you must exterminate every living thing in a world stained with evil] [Trial failure condition C death of challenger or end of remaining time] [Ordeal Breakthrough Reward C Destroyers Carnage Seal (SS+)] [Trial failure penalty C death] When I saw that, I felt satisfied with a light smile on my face. Exterminate without leaving any living creatures behind? Because it wasnt particrly difficult. Tuk-. Isnt this all it takes to activate the Transcendent Myth and give the a slightly stronger massage(?)? ! Without even having time to explore the world, the entire copsed in front of pure physical force. [.] [Error correction.] [The official name of the unique keyword Wrath of Destruction will be revealed as Incarnation of Destruction.] nice. For some reason, it was not an easy task, but very good rewards followed. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 39th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a reward for breakthrough, Destroyers ughter Seal (SS+) will be sent to your inventory.] [You have earned 4000000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [You have obtained 450000 SP as a breakthrough reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, The Killers Murder Record (B-) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] Well, maybe because I didnt go through that much trouble, the additional breakthrough reward shouldnt have been anything special, but it didnt matter. Lets continue. Since I no longer had to risk my life climbing the Tower of Trials, I continued to climb the stairs without any tension, expressionless, and without rest. At best, rest is a luxury when clearing an ordeal of this level. There is still a long way to go. *** Now that Ive reached the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials, I no longer feel any emotional emotion. [You will enter the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [Difficulty C Hard] [The theme of the ordeal is The Madness of the Underworld.] [I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.] obviously. [The 40th floor trial begins.] [Remaining time C 300 days] [Conditions for oveing the ordeal C Kill or persuade the ck Dao Five Zones of Zhejiang Province to end the regional war between the ck Dao n factions and bring peace and rest without conflict] [Trial failure condition C death of challenger or end of remaining time] [Reward for passing the ordeal C Ne of a crazy dog that does not discriminate between enemies and enemies (SS+)] [Trial Failure Penalty C Death] I think this is a reenactment of what happened in the past martial arts dimension, not the current martial arts dimension. All I can feel is that the clearing conditions and difficulty of the trials set by the Tower of Trials have be much worse than before. Why on earth are the martial people so anxious that they cant eat me when they see me? I sighed deeply. Even in the distant past, did all the martial arts people have hair problems? Even though he didnt do anything in particr, from the beginning until now, the martial arts people have been flocking to him, making fights, and spewing out threats for his life. In particr, there were quite a few people who showed unreasonable bravery even though they had shown mercy to this group several times to enable them to survive unscathed. It almost feels to me like hes begging them to kill him. So I did that. This bastard! How dare you not even pay attention when Lee Wang-sam, the vicemander of Heukrangdae, calls you? You shameless bastard! Oh, I will cut off your head with my own hands Crump-! Innoom-! Youre out of your mind! Did you say Han Seong-yoon? It seems like even this beast couldnt do it! How dare you disobey your superiors orders! I will correct the precepts of the ck Heavenly Gate by killing you today Ugh! Heh. Are you a spy sent from another sect? iced coffee. i get it. Your skills are so poor that I want to die. I, Dark Swordsman Jang Wi-Cheon, will teach you the difference in power Kkwajiik-! Ugh! help me!! Save me!! You bastard! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa! go away! Go away!! [.] [Error correction.] [The unique keyword Beetle Madness? will be officially named Twisted Madman.] To be honest, arent the martial arts people who fight for no reason, not me, the real twisted madmen? A twisted madman? It was a conspiracy made up of instigation and fabrication. No matter how much I thought about it, it wasnt their fault. Its just that they started an argument as if they didnt like me, so I tore them all to death with my bare hands and went looking for the ck ozone that was set as a condition for clearing the ordeal, but I was even given an unpleasant star. Its like a situation where the police who catch gangsters for the sake of a peaceful society are beingbeled as bad guys. I dont know why, but at some point, they all decided to join together to kill me, rather than a regional war going on with the huge business between the ck Swordsmen as a prize. They say its Gwangma. Hey! Its a guy! He came!! Gwangma Gwangma!! Gwangma Han Seong-yoon is here, you bastards!! Run away, run away, run away!! Never get caught!! You son of a bitch!! Why on earth are you doing this!! No matter how crazy you act, the fight for supremacy among the ck Ind Ozones will not stop!! Argh! Ha hahaha. Is this really true? Seongyoon Han. Did that madman kill all the ck ozone? Fuck!! I cant deal with that!! Im quitting ckface from today!! Im going to go farming!! Should I say that it feels as if this side has be a public enemy that threatens everyone? In order to end the local war between the ck Ind factions and bring peace and rest, the martial arts people, who were nothing but a cancer in society, were educated(?), but all kinds of nder continued. Because of that, in the end, we had no choice but to give a straight ticket to the Jordan River to the Murim people who, even though they did not want to, were blocking this side from bringing peace to the region. Is it inevitable that an apostle of justice will always be ndered by the forces of evil? Its unfair to people. As expected, I had no choice but to realize that the apostle of justice is always lonely. Just like the infamous martial arts dimension, it appears that the martial arts people had a lot of mental problems in the past. Even though he tore down and killed all of the so-called ck Ozone, he was not judged to have cleared the ordeal. I think this is probably because most of the nearby martial arts people have major mental problems and cannot be considered to have truly found peace and rest It was necessary to take appropriate action. Its clear that all the martial arts people have a lot of problems with their heads. Fortunately, though, I am the one who can be said to be a specialist in curing the mental illness of martial people. Crunch, crunch, crunch -! Kwaaaaaaaaaaa!! In the face of physical therapy apanied by overwhelming power, martial people have no choice but to naturally be good. If peace and rest cante because of the martial arts people, then all we have to do is make it so that the martial arts people themselves can no longer recover, right? As they poured in the physical therapy know-how they had umted while climbing the Tower of Trials, the Murim people stopped fighting and peace and rest came. Thats a good answer. It is only natural that many martial artists had their arms or legs crushed or cut off and were unable to recover. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a reward for breakthrough, the Crazy Dog Cor (SS+) will be sent to your inventory.] [You have earned 4500000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [You have obtained 500000 SP as a breakthrough reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Mask of Madness and Fear (A+) will be sent to your inventory.] [From now on, when challengers die at the Tower of Trials, they will have the opportunity to be resurrected as an Administrator by signing a special contract.] [Go to the waiting room.] Maybe I have talent as a psychotherapist? The peace and rest that came faster than I expected made me feel like that. Aaaaa!! Legs! My legs! Kaaaaaa!! Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa My my arm! Paliiiiii! Aaaaaaaaa!! Weeeeeeeee!! My Dan Tian is crushed I dont want to die I want to live. Not anything. Chapter 491 491. Resurrected (4) [Enter the 41st floor of the Tower of Trials.] [Difficulty C Hard] [The theme of the trial is Immortality and Mortality.] [I hope that there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger. .] When I got to the next floor, luckily, unlike the previous floor, higher level enemies and rewards appeared. [The 41st floor trial begins.] [Remaining time C 1 year] [Trial breakthrough condition C Kill the three high-ranking gods who are performing a high-ranking ritual to obtain eternal life on Tolten] [Trial failure condition C Death of the challenger Or the end of the remaining time] [Reward for passing the trial C Dream Sword of those who dreamed of immortality (SSS-)] [Penalty for failing the trial C death] It was interesting. Killing three high-ranking gods on a small who were performing a strange ritual to be something simr to an ancient god. That was what I had set as a condition for clearing the 41st floor of the Tower of Trials, but it was still interesting in its own way, so it was fun to watch. Well, in the end, everyone was killed without exception. I want to live! I am! I dont want to die! I dont want to die! Immortal! I want to be immortal!! I just wanted to live forever! Are you saying thats wrong!! Thats ridiculous! I am I am! This means that it is a higher deity that is closest to the ancient deity!! Youre on the verge of bing immortal, but you die? like this? I hate it I hate it!! Aaaaaaa!! Stop it, stop it, stop it!! I dont want to die!! God of transcendence and death!! To me! Please have mercy!! Ahhh!! The idea of bing immortal and gaining eternal life without bing an ancient god should have been fun, but theres no reason to keep watching. Youre trying to be an immortal through expedient means without reaching the level of an ancient god on the subject of a high-level god In order to be an ancient god, the three high-level gods did things that didnt seem right, so I cleaned them out. The idea was to forcibly gain life force close to immortality by linking the life force of the threes without distinguishing between humans and beasts Why on earth would they experiment with something like that by risking the lives of others? They fought over the prize of dominating threes and getting infinitely closer to immortality, so they got along and killed them all, then devoured the spirits of the three higher-ranking gods and turned them into power. [Use all possessed spirits to permanently increase stats.] [Strength increased by 5.] [Dexterity increased by 5.] [ Stamina increased by 5.] [Magic power increased by 8.] [ Durability increased by 5. Increased by 4.] [Concept increased by 2.] Well, its still not as bad as this guy and that guy trying to be immortal. Now, as I cleared the trials, I was also bing ustomed to finding out the identity of the unique keywords. [.] [Error correction.] [The official name of the unique keyword Juk? is revealed as God of Death.] Thats the correct answer. Even if you dreamed of immortality and tried to obtain eternal life by force, what awaited you at the end was death. Well, it wasnt a difficult question to guess, so it would be natural to get the answer right. It was not difficult to realize that it was rted to my own divine power of . In fact, if I had to choose the most outstanding qualification and talent to be a transcendent, it would be death itself. Thanks to this, after clearing the 41st floor trial of the Tower of Trials, I was able to find out the unique keyword and seed in taking a step forward. As I climb the Tower of Trials, my senses be clearer as I discover my own unique keywords one by one. I felt a sense of reality as I became aware of the qualifications and talents I had to be a transcendent. If you can take a few steps further and find out about your own potential, something will definitely change. It was a fact that I could be sure of as an ancient deity and as a being who had once reached beyond the gate to be a transcendent by challenging ascension. Maybe the Tower of Trials didnt allow me to see the unique keywords because they knew that I would get stronger the more I learned about myself. I could see why the Tower of Trials had made it impossible to see most of its unique keywords. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 41st floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a breakthrough reward, the Dream Sword (SSS-) of those who dreamed of immortality will be sent to your inventory.] [ You have obtained 5000000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [You have obtained 550000 SP as a breakthrough reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Gem of Life (S+) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] Certainly. Really So Im curious. Continuing to move forward, one step at a time, without stopping. [The god of transcendence and death savors the realization with a grin.] [What on earth does it mean to realize that I have the qualifications and talents to be a transcendent? ] That will be the most perfect guidepost for me to choose the path that will allow me to be a transcendent one day. *** Clearing the ordeal itself was not that difficult. [The trial on the 42nd floor begins.] [Remaining time C 80 days] [Conditions for passing the trial C Sprout hope in a world nearing destruction and provide survivors with a way topensate for themselves] [Conditions for trial failure C Death of the challenger Or the end of the remaining time] [Reward for passing the trial C A seekers telescope looking up at the sky (SSS-)] [Penalty for failing the trial C Death] It was better than I thought. [.] [Error correction.] [The official name of the unique keyword Cho# is revealed as God of Transcendence.] Yes, there is a God of Death, but there is no way there is not a God of Transcendence. Is it because I have learned my own tricks? As I climbed the Tower of Trials, I gained momentum inying the foundation to be a transcendent. Should we really say that it is a device for raising the talent and qualifications to be a transcendent to the limit? Contrary to our concerns, the Tower of Trials guided us on the path we needed to take to be a transcendent. A ce of choice. And unique keywords. Both are devices to raise the qualifications and talents to be a transcendent to the limit Is it natural? Perhaps the Tower of Trials also doesnt want this side to get stronger, but it seems like it cant give any more penalties than this. The only penalty that the Tower of Trials can impose on a challenger is to adjust things like the difficulty of clearing the trials, and the upper and lower limits are also set. Well, if you think about the actions of the Tower of Trials so far, there must be a limit even if it grants low-level trials. Therefore, it was clear that the Tower of Trials could no longer restrain me from bing stronger. There was a high possibility that the only thing that could be done was to coordinate to avoid encountering powerful people such as ancient deities, and at most only encounter enemies on the edge of higher level deities. However, even that doesnt feel like a particrly big penalty anymore. There is no problem at all in developing the foundation to be a transcendent even without fighting an ancient god. The 42nd floor trial presented by the Tower of Trials also did not appear to have achieved a hierarchy of deities, but it was better than killing multiple high-level deities. It is something that must give hope for life and provide a way for self-sufficiency in a dying world. That alone made it possible for this side to secure believers by attracting and leading people from all over the dying. Savior!! The old savior came down from heaven to save everyone! Its definitely true! Ahh! Oh God! Please take pity on us and shine a bright light on our future filled with darkness! So I beg you! Ha hahaha! Its a miracle! Its a miracle! You can buy it! You can buy it! If we follow him, Im sure we can all survive!! Originally, I wasnt particrly interested in creating a religious group, but the story changed after I obtained the heavenly mythology . Its enormous. As the heavenly myth bes active, a huge amount of faith is pouring out from all over the. Its ridiculous. Just by improving the natural environment on a on the verge of destruction and teaching his followers some lessons, everything worked out surprisingly well and he was able to get what he wanted after a few days. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 42nd floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a breakthrough reward, A Seekers Telescope Looking Up at the Sky (SSS-) will be sent to your inventory.] [You have obtained 6000000 points as a breakthrough reward. ] [You have obtained 650000 SP as a breakthrough reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Light-filled Saviors Sword (S+) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] With this, you can now use one of the unique keywords . Have you figured out most of the things that seem quite important? And Then the rest is easy. Just like that, I walked to the next floor with a smile on my face. Perhaps what needs to be done next may just be a more monotonous repetitive task than now. Not only have you figured out almost all of the unique keywords that seem important as a venue for selection, but youve also learned the trick of identifying unique keywords. Maybe youll be lucky enough to find more than one unique keyword in one trial. In short, it meant that from the next floor onwards, you would be able to get the correct answer without difficulty even without thinking deeply about the unique keywords. It was obvious that boring things that didnt require much thought would happen over and over again. It must be boring. I didnt want to think about it too much because I was sure it would bebor that was far from enjoyable. *** Time passed quickly. [.] [Unique keyword Blessed? will be officially named Avenger.] [Unique keyword ? The official name of # who craves power is revealed as one who craves power] [Receiver of the unique keyword Gods gun# is the body favored by the divine and its official name is Gong.] It was possible to obtain enlightenment corresponding to the majority of a total of 17 unique keywords. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 43rd floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a breakthrough reward, the Hell Lion Emblem (S-) will be sent to your inventory.] [You have obtained 5000000 points as a breakthrough reward.] [Breakthrough reward You have obtained 400000 SP.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Parchment of Hell (A-) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] [.] The 43rd floor of the Tower of Trials is It was about avenging a person who died in hell, and it was better than I thought. It wasnt so bad to visit and kill the lords of hell who prided themselves on being strong, one by one. Because it was possible to steal all the items belonging to those who imed to be the lords of hell, without leaving out a single item. It took just two hours for this side to achieve the trial clear conditions and move on to the next floor. [Congrattions, you have surpassed the 44th floor of the Tower of Trials] [As a breakthrough reward, World Rulers Pendant (SS-) will be sent to your inventory.] [You have obtained 5300000 points as a breakthrough reward. ] [You have obtained 480000 SP as a breakthrough reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Native Deity Fragment (S-) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] [.] The 44th floor of the Tower of Trials was to be the ruler of a by subduing the indigenous gods that existed around the world and establishing a master-servant rtionship. An hourter, he subdued numerous native deities with overwhelming force, became the world ruler, obtained a concept deity representing the, and moved on to the next level. [Congrattions on breaking through the 45th floor of the Tower of Trials.] [As a reward for breaking through, the Blue Jewel of the Beloved of God (SS-) will be sent to your inventory.] [Obtain 5500000 points as a reward for breaking through. You did.] [You have obtained 500000 SP as a breakthrough reward.] [As an additional breakthrough reward, Insane Saints Twisted and Contaminated Pendant (S-) will be sent to your inventory.] [Go to the waiting room.] [.] For the 45th floor of the Tower of Trials, the condition for clearing the trial was to be recognized by the nine gods on the continent as a priest of a, and it was easy. To be favored by God. Isnt this a specialty of winning peoples hearts through persuasion and conversation? In the end, after two days of personally visiting, persuading, and talking to nine gods who were presumed to be official deities, I was able to clear the ordeal by making them my deity apostles. Among the nine gods, none of them missed the golden opportunity to be our gods apostles and epted it. Live or die. If you had to choose between the two, wouldnt everyone choose thetter? That wasnt that surprising, since formal godhood was no different. . and. Chak-. [Entered the waiting room on the 46th floor.] I think its clear to you now why you need to learn each unique keyword one by one. Realized. What is the purpose of realizing your own talent and qualifications to be a transcendent? It was not like a ssification tag that the Tower of Trials had arbitrarily attached to train challengers to be transcendents, but it was literally a path to enlightenment that one had to go through at least once to be a transcendent. Is it a structure in which the level of divinity and soul increases simply by recognizing and refining ones qualifications and talents to be a transcendent? Transcendent. In order to reach the virtual realm that exists beyond the ancient godhead, one must realize ones own potential. In this way, he selected and refined his qualifications and talents to be a transcendent, engraved the door of ascension into his soul, and used his body as the key to advance to the beyond. In a way, this may be said to be a path to engrave the gate of ascension into the soul without the myth . I, who possess the mythic , do not need to realize my talents and qualifications to be a transcendent. Is that why? Perhaps, since we have already attempted to ascend to heaven through the myth and obtained the path to bing a transcendent, just realizing the true name of the unique keyword may bring us very close to the essence. Unlike game characters who level up and learn skills one after another to be stronger, it feels like leveling up and learning skills at will while already maximally strong. Its like developing a game characters skill tree only after maxing out all the stats with Cheat Engine. The order has changed. But regardless, it wasnt meaningless. step. Even if there was a difference in the order, it was necessary to realize ones qualifications and talents to be a transcendent and to approach the essence. The door to ascension and the key to ascension that I obtained through the myth have now begun to be felt more clearly thanks to the series of processes. Apart from the myth , the more I gain insight into the unique keywords as a field of choice, the more my understanding of what lies beyond the Gate of Ascension increases. Its not even just that. Unlike when the path to bing a transcendent was forcibly obtained through the myth , the path to go beyond the Gate of Ascension bes clearer. It feels as if light is shining on the dark path beyond the Gate of Ascension so that we can safely reach the point of transcendence. Perhaps, if the door to ascension were opened again, unlikest time, there was a high probability that one would be able to move forward to some extent without losing ones way even in the beginning of ascension. Thats what it means to realize the qualifications and talents to be a transcendent and prepare a path. But thats why I was confident again. . In order for this person to be a transcendental person, he has no choice but to abandon his own ego, no matter what. No matter which path you take, what awaits you at the end is the onset of ascension and the abandonment of consciousness. I closed my eyes and looked at the newly engraved paths of light beyond the Gate of Ascension. Even at the gate of ascension, talents and qualifications such as natural talent, god of transcendence, and god of death became paths of light and served as a stepping stone to move forward. However, even the path made of light called qualifications and talent to be a transcendent bes cut off and disappears at some point. Very firmly, as if the next path is not allowed under any circumstances. It was bittersweet, but it was natural. Youre cold. Reality is cold. No matter what qualifications and talents you have to be a transcendent, it is impossible to move forward without a huge vessel that can contain the universe itself. In the end, the decision must be made at the end of the path to ascension created by miraculous talents and qualifications. Will you move forward and give up yourself to be a transcendent, or will you give up being a transcendent and remain an ancient godhead? No other options exist beyond the Gate of Ascension. Even if we realize and add the talents and qualifications of the transcendent to the myth , the point at the end of the road is not drawn. But But thats enough. Why? Rather than despair and frustration, I felt a strange sense of anticipation mixed with excitement and anxiety. It wasnt a bad thing that beyond the Gate of Ascension, there was a way to stand, even if just for a moment. That path of light could serve as a pedestal to support the new method of ascension that this side has devised. Its not meaningless. I have no intention of entrusting myself to a gamble that has no chance of winning. And in that case, the path of light, which isprised of the qualifications and talents needed to be a transcendent person, will be a more important support than you think. Realizing that, I smiled in anticipation and started getting ready to go to the next floor. Maybe I can get what I want faster than I thought. and. Im looking forward to it. I have to finish thepensation check quickly and go to the next floor The moment he was about to finish thepensation check quickly with a satisfied smile on his face. Dudduddu! uh? It was then. [.] [Conditions met.] [The Tower of Trials confirmed that the total number of people who broke through the 45th floor ordeal exceeded 100.] Suddenly, a strange event urred as so many system messages appeared that they filled the field of vision. This cant be Although I havent seen a phrase like this in the Tower of Trials recently, I know from experience what it means. Is that it? Its none other than [A major expansion of the system begins.] The Tower of Trials began to expand the system itself at a time that we had never expected. Chapter 492 492. Resurrected (5) [A major expansion of the system begins.] There was no time to panic as the Tower of Trials suddenly began expanding the system at an unexpected time. Ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg! The Tower of Trials began expanding the system whenever a certain number of challengers exceeded a certain section, bringing about many changes. . However, despite this, it was possible to assert that this system expansion presented by the Tower of Trials was impossible to evenpare to the existing case. Sure-! A stone door suddenly appeared in the private waiting room prepared by the Tower of Trials for challengers. [The Tower of Trials simultaneously opens the personal waiting rooms of challengers who cleared the 45th floor ordeal.] [From now on, challengers will be able to invade or share each others personal waiting rooms.] What is this. Individual Are you going to open the waiting room? What are you saying that makes no sense? It was absurd. Now, theyre going to change it so that challengers climbing the Tower of Trials can invade or share each others personal waiting rooms Why does that have to be like that? It is obvious that there would be no particr advantage to allowing challengers climbing the Tower of Trials to freelye and go in the private waiting room. It was something I didnt understand. Why are they adding something like that as the number of floors approaches the final floor and the system is expanded? At this point, its beyond absurd and you cant understand why theyre doing something like this. I dont know. I frowned and quietly looked at the system messages that appeared in my field of vision. [The Tower of Trials expands the exploration space by activating the [dimensionalyer] outside the personal waiting rooms of challengers who cleared the 45th floor trial.] [From now on, challengers will go outside each others personal waiting rooms and explore the [dimensionalyer] You can continue your activities.] After opening the personal waiting room, did you allow people to go to the exploration area called the dimensionalyer outside it? Dimension hierarchy. I dont know exactly what that means, but I dont think its a particrly great feature. Anyway, there arent many things here that I find useful, so the addition of something like that doesnt raise my expectations. Coborate with challengers from other dimensions to explore an unknown ce called the Dimensional Layer? Isnt that something I can do on my own? I dont understand why the private waiting room was opened. Perhaps the purpose of the Tower of Trials is to actively promote cooperative or hostile rtionships between challengers Its annoying. To be honest, my appreciation for the system expansion made by Tower of Trials this time is only limited. Well, I dont leave anything in the private waiting room, so I guess itsforting to know that there wont be any problems. But that too for a moment. Whats next? That moment when I frowned and calmly looked at the system messages that appeared beyond my field of vision. [The Tower of Trials arranges for challengers who have cleared the 45th floor trial to transfer administrators as colleagues so they can travel together.] [Without exception, challengers will face the trials together with managers who have signed an apostle contract, and they will travel to another dimension together. Also permitted.] What? . Something unexpected happened. From now on, the administrators who signed an apostolic contract with me will participate in the trials together without exception? Doesnt this mean only one thing? The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. This means that this side will take on the two managers who signed an apostolic contract at the Tower of Trials as colleagues and challenge the trials together. Now I wondered what the use of something like that would be, but when I thought about it, it wasntpletely ridiculous. no. Wouldnt it be strange to assume that the challenger who made it to the waiting room on the 46th floor of the Tower of Trials had a level of power simr to or lower than that of the administrator? Now that I think about it, how far did the Tower of Trials go to the Sangvis Lord in the past? When I asked if I had climbed up, I remembered being told that it was the 47th floor. Its a story I heard a long time ago, so my memory is a little vague, but assuming its true, the opportunity to work with the administrators given by the Tower of Trials will be of tremendous help. However, in my case, I felt like it was either a good or bad thing to have to work with managers. Its just that when you face an ordeal without a choice, you have to be with the managers It was strange. Havent you had much contact with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman recently? Because of that, I think my rtionship with them became a bit estranged, but I couldnt help but feel strange thinking that they would have to stay together from now on. This was even more so since it was said that the two managers could now follow even when this side moves to Earth or another dimension. I dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway, those two managers may also contact you as soon as they hear the news. I decided not to think about anything else until then and continued to read the system messages that came to mind. The system message about therge-scale expansion of the system that appeared earlier was definitely an unconventional change that was different from the existing system expansion, but thestrge-scale expansion of the system was outside the scope ofmon sense. [You are a challenger who is one of the ten Pioneers selected by the Tower of Trials.] [You can select a new halo and strengthen the existing halo to learn the Pioneer Law.] [However , Once you choose one of the new halos and learn the Law of Precursor, that decision cannot be undone.] It is none other than Precursor? Halo. A power gained by proving that one was superior in ones own right among the challengers of the lower levels when one had just begun to climb the Tower of Trials. I remember it clearly because it was the halo function that allowed me to acquire the unique power Skill Synthesis, which created the highest level skills that I mainly use. Perhaps, just like back then, the Tower of Trials is trying to give new halos to 10 out of 100 people who cleared the 45th floor ordeal Now, I dont really know what Ill get if I strengthen the existing halo after getting the new halo. A situation that makes no sense. Thats why I tilted my head. After choosing a new halo, you can strengthen the existing halo? Thew of perception. Since neither of them knew what it meant, expressing doubt onlysted a moment. Should I just pick a new halo and see what I can get? Next moment. [You can learn the Law of Perception by selecting one of the new halos.] [Revtor] [*Exnation: You can learn the Law of Perception . Thew of precognition applies omniscience made of lies, a power simr to that of a transcendental, to the challenger for 10 minutes. However, no matter what happens after that, the Law of Perception willpletely disappear.] Reset the relevant option (1/1) [Guide] [*Exnation: You can learn the Law of Perception . The Law of Presence allows all the powers of the challenger to be shared with up to 4 people. However, those to be used must feel a deep sense of intimacy with the challenger to the point of sacrificing their lives.] Reset the corresponding option (1/1) [Victim] [*Exnation: You can learn thew of perseverance . The Law of Presence can resurrect any number of people for a short period of time at the cost of the challengers life. The information in your memory will be restored as is. The same goes for ancient deities.] Reset the relevant options (1/1) ? As it was, I could only remain rigid with my eyes wide open. *** My thoughts disappear and my mind turnspletely white. . No matter how many times I reread the system messages that appear in front of me, the exnatory text does not change. What is this Revealer. By learning thew of precognition , you can use Omnipotence made of lies, a power equivalent to that of a transcendental being, for 10 minutes. Guide. By learning the Law of Perception , you will be able to share and use all of your power with up to 4 people. victim. By learning the Law of Perception, , I can resurrect any number of people at will, at the cost of my own life. Is this the power given to a mere challenger? When I saw that, I felt goosebumps all over my body and at the same time realized how strange this situation was. Even if they are the three ancient deities and lords of the universe, they cannot handle the power of thew of foreshadowing that resides in new halos such as Revtor, Guide, and Victim. The Revtor allows you to temporarily reach beyond the Ancient Godhead, even if it is only once, the Guide allows you to share your power of reaching the Ancient Godhead with up to 4 people, and the Sacrifice allows you to reach beyond the Ancient Godhead. It is possible to revive as many people as you want. The Tower of Trials also cant handle this kind of power as it pleases. The Tower of Trials gives the challenger power that even the Tower of Trials itself cannot use at will? It was strange. However, apart from that, isnt it true that the new halo that the Tower of Trials gave to the Pioneer and the resulting power called Pioneer Law are very powerful? If I could obtain a new power called thew of perception just like the exnatory text of the system message in my field of vision, I could use it as a hidden card. It seems to be the power created by the Tower of Trials divine , divine ws>, and divine Moreover, we also know for sure where the Tower of Trials got that kind of power from. Dont you know that its real? Theres no chance its fake. There was no shaking or anything. Im just wondering which of those three options would be the most beneficial. And it was a time when I was lost in thought and trying to figure out which of the three would be more beneficial to choose. . And thew of perception. Nothing in particr has changed. Is there a difference in that the level of gaining the Precursor and the Perception Law has increased? It seems like nothing has changed except that the timing has been dyed. Suddenly, from within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword, Dam Cheon-woo muttered those words. DWell, maybe its because youre better than me, but thews of vision you can obtain as a pioneer are at a very high level The basics are the same as I remember. After hearing those words, it was only then that I was able to recall one fact. ah. Yes. Dam Cheon-woo, the being within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword, is also a former challenger who climbed the Tower of Trials to a higher level. He was also one of the strong ones who could be proud of having made a name for themselves in the Tower of Trials. As a result, he had already experienced receiving the power of Seer and Law of Perception from the Tower of Trials, and was able to give advice on this. When I realized that fact, I stroked the handle of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword with a big smile on my face. Why are you saying that now? Couldnt you have told me in advance? Then I would have treated you well. -Crazy guy Dont pet me like that. I feel bad and feel like Im going to throw up. Its okay to be unlucky as usual, so just get your hands off it. Well, if thats what you want, it doesnt matter. However, I think you need to tell me in detail about this seer and the w of persimmon. Is that okay? -. ah. Are there restrictions on revealing information because of the Tower of Trials? Still, if we hade this far, I think the restrictions on revealing information would have been lifted How can it not work? DIts ridiculous to think that I was silent now for a good reason. Dam Cheon-Woo responded, the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembling slightly. DTower of Trials. The restrictions on revealing information that that guy had all disappeared when he arrived in the waiting room on the 46th floor. The stories that I cant tell you are gone. Dam Cheon-woo let out a sound mixed with bitterness. -Its natural. I was a challenger who climbed the Tower of Trials to the 41st floor Although the current Tower of Trials is somewhat different from the past, there are no restrictions on revealing information. Is it true? Thats better than I thought. If the penalty imposed by the Tower of Trials has disappeared, you can tell me as much as you want. -Well, thats right. Thats why I was worried about this as well. However, I just thought that it might not be necessary for me to tell that story. ? DWell, if you still want to know, I will tell you what pioneers andws of vision I chose during my lifetime. Thats fine too. Still, no matter what, isnt it better to have at least one more piece of data? -Its a story from a long time ago. After breaking through the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials, I was chosen as a pioneer along with the massive expansion of the system. At that time, it was possible to obtain the seer and the seerw faster than now. There were three options for the pioneer before the throne. Dam Cheon-woo exined in a calm voice. DBrainwasher. By learning thew of precognition , he was able to control the minds of intelligent beings within a maximum radius of 300m. It is useless against mentally strong opponents. It was trash. DBinder. I was able to share my life with someone by learning thew of precognition . I was able to share the damage I received with the person I shared my life with. However, there was no object for that. DDestroyer. By learning thew of precognition , he was able to specify a target and kill it instantly only once. Since it was only a one-time power, I couldnt choose it. It was a garbage dump. Well, did that person get caught in all that trash? In the past, Dam Cheon-woo would have grown up to be a standard swordsman or a magic swordsman, although he would have learned magic by climbing the Tower of Trials. Things like Brainwasher dont suit you, Binder is also a failure if you dont have apanion who can share the damage received, and Destructor is better, but it is only a one-time consumption ability, so it was difficult to choose. In the end, Dam Cheon-woo would have chosen Destructor as if he was crying and eating mustard, and would have learned and used thew of the precepts . okay. It should have been that way but if that was the case, something was strange. -At that time, I was unable to choose any of the three pioneers. As a result, all three pioneers were reset and relocated. reset? -You must have seen it too? Each of the three pioneers is given a chance to refresh once. I gained a new opportunity by using the pioneer reset function. Thats good too, so tell me what popped up. -no. Those three things were not even worth mentioning from my mouth. Garbage among garbage. It was worse than brainwasher or binder. There was just one useful thing. What is it? and. DResurrector. Dam Cheon-woo answered with augh and a voice mixed withplex emotions. DYes. The pioneer chosen by thismittee at that time was the Resurrected One. He learned thew of precognition, , and soon faced the moment of death and used that power. If you look at the seer, resurrector, and the seersw, , it seems like a power rted to revival. Seeing as Im trapped here, I guess I havent really shined. I expressed my disappointment, thinking that I might have heard a somewhat useless story, but Dam Cheon-woo paid no heed and answered. -Tsk tsk. no? Wrong. It did shine. Thismittee chose the pioneer Resurrected and used the pioneerw . Nothing is wrong. Yeah, whatever. Everything went ording to n. All ording to n? What about dwelling in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and bing the Ego Sword? It seems far-fetched. -no. This is not something that is unreasonable on my part. The Resurrected preceptw shined after being used. As a result, here I am. I had to vaguely guess it even back then I guess thats what it was. ? DResurrector. And the unique ability of thew of perseverance, . It still hasnt gone away. Nothing was wrong. Because now is the beginning. . This is the beginning? what does that mean? It was something I didnt understand. Isnt the visionary resurrectionist and the visionaryw used by Dam Cheon-woo just before his death? Now, if he was resurrected with the Ego Sword through thew of precognition , there is a high possibility that that would be the end of it. Just as he said, there was little chance that anything would start from now on, and it was nothing more than nonsense based on a guess. If that were the case, it was bizarre. Thats right. Why do those words make me feel so ufortable? Doesnt that sound like its a will left before death? *** I wanted to ask more about the pioneer resurrector and the pioneerw . If thew of precognition has been used and it has not yet ended and its unique supernormal ability continues, what is waiting for it? However, before he could say anything like that, the de of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword trembled and a one-sided notification came back. -I have said everything that needed to be said. If you want to hear it and have any questions, think for yourself. Well, even if thats not the case, Im sure youll find the answer soon. Suddenly, Dam Cheon-woo unterally notified him and began to calm his consciousness inside the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword. What is that. DThen lets seeter. yes? What no wait. Shouldnt we talk more about pioneers and thews of vision? We were still talking. C I should have said this earlier. You dont have to hear it from my mouth. Arent there more people who can tell you that? ? In an instant, I grabbed the de of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and looked at him as if asking what he was talking about, and a short answer came back. -manager. It was truly a standard answer. DThe Lord of Iron Blood. And Baekhakgeomseon. I know that both of them are challengers who climbed the Tower of Trials higher than the main throne. Isnt that right? Do you mean to use the questionnaires you have collected so far? Well, its not that I didnt mean to do that Even if thats not the case, you can tell me, right? -hmm. Are you smart or stupid? You guys dont even know. Are you still not feeling it? In this case, the restrictions on information disclosure imposed by the Tower of Ordeals must have been lifted. Do you think the two are different? . and. DWhether it is the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman, you will be able to hear the story you want from them. Next moment. -Is that all? The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. Since they are both seers and have thew of perseverance, they will also be able to gain insight. In response, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut and watch Dam Cheon-woos consciousness sink into the Blood Heaven Demon Sword. . A mental shock echoes throughout my mind, as if someone had hit me hard on the head with a hammer. The Tower of Trials hasnt yet recovered the power of the Seer and the Perception Law that it gave to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman? It was worth it. The story goes that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman are also pioneers who have learned thew of vision and still possess it. That means that they also have that ridiculous power written in the system messages that appear in their field of vision. is it real? Earlier, I thought that the power of the two managers would not be particrly helpful, but the reality is that this is not the case. . The Tower of Trials arranges for challengers who have cleared the 45th floor trial to transfer administrators as colleagues so they can travel together. Without exception, challengers will face trials together with managers who have signed an apostolic contract, and they are also allowed to travel to other dimensions together. what I thought was wrong. That means only one thing. [Administrator Steel Blood Lord waits for you to contact him and gives a cold smile, exhausted.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is looking at you intently, waiting for you to talk to him.] [ Manager Steel-Blooded Lord unconsciously breaks the handle of the teacup while waiting for the contractor to visit.] [ Manager Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is looking at you intently, waiting for you to talk to him.] [ . [] It was a hit. [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord chews his lips with a cold smile as he waits for the contractors visit.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) looks at you gently with lifeless eyes and talks to you. Im waiting for you.] [Administrator Lord of Iron Blood chews his lips with a cold smile as he waits for the contractors visit.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is looking at you lifelessly. He is looking at you intently with his eyes, waiting for you to talk to him.] [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord chews his lips with a cold smile as he waits for the contractors visit] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is looking at you with lifeless eyes, waiting for you to talk.] [. ] Youre saying that youre getting two more supernormal abilities unique to the seer and the seerw? Thats also huge. Chapter 493 493. Stopover (1) The pioneer And the fact that not one but two more pioneerws are created is not something to be taken lightly. I thought it was possible, but I never thought that an administrator who had a record of being chosen as a pioneer at the Tower of Trials would not lose and keep thews of vision that he gained as a pioneer. This is something you can immediately realize just by looking at the system messages in front of you. [You can learn the Law of Perception by selecting one of the new halos.] [Revtor] [*Exnation: You can learn the Law of Perception . Thew of precognition applies omniscience made of lies, a power simr to that of a transcendental, to the challenger for 10 minutes. However, no matter what happens after that, the Law of Perception willpletely disappear.] Reset the relevant option (1/1) [Guide] [*Exnation: You can learn the Law of Perception . The Law of Presence allows all the powers of the challenger to be shared with up to 4 people. However, those to be used must feel a deep sense of intimacy with the challenger to the point of sacrificing their lives.] Reset the corresponding option (1/1) [Victim] [*Exnation: You can learn thew of perseverance . The Law of Presence can resurrect any number of people for a short period of time at the cost of the challengers life. The information in your memory will be restored as is. The same goes for ancient deities.] Reset the relevant options (1/1) So. The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. As they are both seers, they both have one of these seerws, right? It was enormous. A power that even the three ancient godheads of the universe do not possess. What would happen if the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword possessed each of them, and if I, as a pioneer, also learned thews of vision? At least from now on, you will climb up the Tower of Trials and reach the final floor very easily, rather than feeling a sense of crisis. Of course, more than that is possible. It was said that with the massive expansion of the system, managers who signed a contract with a challenger can participate in trials together and it has also be possible to move to another dimension with the challenger himself. This means that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword can be taken to Earth to prepare for any emergency. Anyway, I wasnt relieved with just Catherine Bet and Lee Ha-yeon on Earth, but the benefits gained from the massive expansion of the system were greater than I expected. At first, I thought negatively about the expansion of the Tower of Trials system, but not anymore. It is no exaggeration to say that thanks to the massive expansion of the system, the risk burden this side has to shoulder has been reduced significantly. Perhaps the Tower of Trials didnt want to do me any good, but they probably didnt have any way to do anything about it. There is no way left to stop me now. Maybe the Tower of Trials knew this would be the case and was trying to get me to betray the administrators. At this point, I began to understand why the Tower of Trials was trying to trick me into betraying and killing the managers I had directly contracted with. If the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, who became pioneers and learned thews of vision,e all the way here and join in, there will be no answer. Is that why? Suddenly, I felt bad about not being able to contact the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman sooner and take better care of them. As I climbed the Tower of Trials, with the intention of bing a transcendent, I focused on bing stronger, not even returning to Earth, nor even having a light chat with anyone. However, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman would also understand that fact as they would know it. Well, not only the Lord of Iron Blood but also the White Crane Swordsman is generous, so he shouldnt have been angry. But [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord waits for you to contact him and gives a cold smile, exhausted.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) looks at you carefully and wants to talk to you. Im waiting.] [Manager Steel Blood Lord unconsciously breaks the handle of the teacup as he waits for the contractors visit.] [Manager Baekhakgeomseon looks at you intently and waits for you to talk to him. There is.] [.] . Isnt that so? [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord chews his lips with a cold smile as he waits for the contractors visit.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) looks at you gently with lifeless eyes and talks to you. Im waiting for you.] [Administrator Lord of Iron Blood chews his lips with a cold smile as he waits for the contractors visit.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is looking at you lifelessly. He is looking at you intently with his eyes, waiting for you to talk to him.] [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord chews his lips with a cold smile as he waits for the contractors visit] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) was looking at you with lifeless eyes, waiting for you to talk.] [.] It was cold. In the beginning, not only the Lord of Iron Blood but also the White Crane Swordsman seemed to be patiently waiting for this side to arrive, but as time passed, thingspletely changed. The Lord of Iron Blood broke the handle of the teacup and chewed his lips, waiting for me to contact him. Unlike before, where White Crane Swordsman just stared at me, something strange changed. Why on earth are they both reacting so strongly? There was a sense of tension because it had been a long time since the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman had been so full of system messages. Maybe I did something wrong? Id like to believe thats not the case, but looking at those twos extremely intense behavior, it seems like theres something wrong. I dont know The fact that this person hasnt been in contact with those two for a long time is something that cant be helped, and its not something they should be hated for. [Administrator Steel Blood Lord tells you not to send any more system messages to the other person sitting in front of the table.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) narrows his eyes as he looks at the other person sitting in front of the table with cold eyes. .] [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord smiles and asks the person sitting in front of the table what they are so dissatisfied with.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is in a snowy vige as a teacher and student are sharing their stories after a long time. The woman from . softly says that there is no need.] [The manager, Steel-Blooded Lord, is grinning that he doesnt know why the second person who came in is acting like a red-blooded general when he was the first contractor.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q)) sneers, saying that if being the first contractor is only his greatest achievement, he cannot bepared to himself, who formed a rtionship between priests.] [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord grits his teeth and stands up with a cool smile. It flies.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) feels the need to properly organize the ranks at this opportunity and adjusts the handle of his sword.] [.] It was an unusual atmosphere. At this point, it feels like something big will happen just by not contacting those two. And immediately, without wasting time, I stood up, took a deep breath, parted my lips, and spoke quietly. The Lord of Iron Blood. And Baekhakgeomseon. Any one of you is wee, so please invite me. We will meet in turn. and. Tiring, tiring, tiring! Next moment. [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord invites you to themon waiting room.] [Manager Baekhakgeomseon (Q) invites you to themon waiting room.] [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord invites you to themon waiting room. Invitation.] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon invites you to themon waiting room.] [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord invites you to themon waiting room. ] [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon invites you to themon waiting room.] . In the blink of an eye, my vision was filled with system messages, and at the same time, I lost consciousness. *** The feeling of going crazy onlysted for a moment. System messages were still appearing in my field of vision and invitation requests were stilling in. Because of that, the longer this person stays silent, I dont know why, but both of them seem to have a strange sense ofpetition and are sending system messages more intensely than before. No matter how dull I may be, at this point I couldnt help but notice that the two were feeling an inexplicable sense ofpetition with each other. Just by looking at it, it looks like this will continue without stopping if I pick one person and dont ept the invitation request. In the end, I recognized that there was a need to respond to an invitation request from either the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman. What should I do? To be honest, since both of them had a rtionship in many ways, not only because they signed an apostolic contract with this side, it was not difficult to take sides. . However, I was lost in thought for a moment. ah. There was one answer. Why did I forget that? Its a very clear answer that doesnt require us to single out just one of the two and take sides. Hold-. [Execute exclusive authority #B-714 [Move area].] [Please specify the administrator area to be moved.] And. [Designationplete.] [Move to themon waiting room of administrator Steelblood Lord and administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q).] The next moment. widely-. Just like that, I realized that I had arrived in a new space and looked around. Is this themon waiting room where the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman are located? The ce that the Tower of Trials named the munal waiting room was different from the typical private waiting room used by challengers. Its as big as hundreds of private waiting roomsbined. As if that wasnt enough, its internal structure was also very different from a typical private waiting room. There are snowkes piled up all over themon waiting room that you dont even know where they came from, and there are cute big and small bamboos that dont match the snowkes. At first nce, it looks simr to the challengers personal waiting room, but if you look specifically inside the stone room, there is no resemnce at all. Honestly, at this point, I think it should actually be called a model garden rather than a waiting room. If I were to be specific, I think it would be more like abination of the managers areas rather than a waiting room used by challengers. Jump and jump. However, it only takes a moment to look around and feel interested in themon waiting room that the Tower of Trials has created for administrators. ah. Ta-da-da-da-da-da-! Suddenly, I realized that someone was running quickly in front of me, so I turned my head, and soon I could feel the warmth and soft texture. Ouch-! Its none other than. Finally, after a long time, you came to my side. Seongyun. Baekhakgeomseon. The manager who signed the second contract at the Tower of Trials realized that I was visiting and came running all the way here. Perhaps because I was hugged by Baekhakgeomseon at apletely unexpected moment, I felt embarrassed for a moment, but it did notst long. Ouch-! Suddenly, the White Crane Swordsman, which was held in my arms as if diving, buried its head in this body and began to thrash around. uh? Was it because it was truly unexpected? For some reason, it felt like my brains thinking function waspletely and temporarily interrupted. However, apart from that, Baekhakgeomseon continued his meaningless journey while being held tightly to me, and then took a deep breath. Suuuuuu. Phew. . Phuhuh. ? Seeing him exhaling heavily as if he were an airport drug detection dog made me feel a bit of a sense of strangeness. that. Master? Excuse me, but could you tell me why youre like this He said that with a bitter smile, as if he was in trouble, but the answer he received was not kind. ter. yes? I want to talk about itter. . Is that so? I was waiting for you toe back. From then until now. I waited a long time. Seongyun. Is that so. Then I think I can feel a little reward for waiting in this way. As a teacher. And as yourpanion. Dont you deserve it, Seongyoon? Please answer me. Uh um well, if Master says that, I guess I dont really have anything to say I replied as if I was embarrassed, and then realized that there was something foreign in those words. . Even if the teacher is like that, hes still apanion? Well, considering that they are managers who signed an apostolic contract at the Tower of Trials, they should be like partners, but for some reason, it felt like that wasnt what they meant. Seongyoon. What you just said is that I am a very special person to Seongyoon that I can enjoy him like this? Is that so? no. youre right. That was actually the case. great. Seongyoon After hearing those words, I feel relieved. It was worth waiting for Seongyoon for a long time. Just like that, Baekhakgeomseon gently lifted his head buried in this body as if he had caught on to something and smiled mischievously. [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is very satisfied with your answer and boasts to someone.] Hehehe. So Seongyoon himself said that? As a teacher andpanion, I deserve this. Its different from that story. and. Sabak Sabak-. The moment when Baekhakgeomseon slightly turned his head back with a smile that seemed to be somewhat ridiculed. Ujijik-! Hoo. Thats a really interesting story. Its also really fun. Isnt it? Han Seong-yoon. From where her gaze was directed, a beautiful woman with a familiar face wearing a uniform walked out with a somewhat angry expression on her face. Han Seong-yoon. It seems like you and I havent seen each other in a very long time. I think we might have a story to share. The Iron-Blooded Lord tore off the bamboo standing next to him like a piece of paper and gave off a cold look. Tap, tap, tap! . Let me ask you one question. The Iron-Blooded Lord took long strides to where he was standing and then put his face in with a cruel smile. As a teacher. And as apanion. Did you agree that Baekhakgeomseon deserves to share deep expressions of affection with you? Then I guess so too. yes? uh? Oh yes. Isnt that of course true? The Iron Blood Lord is also a special person to me. When I made an effort to respond to the silent pressure suddenly poured out by the Iron-Blooded Lord, she made a huffing sound and turned her head. Hmm? Han Seong-yoon himself says so. It doesnt seem like I have a lower priority than any sword-wielding gori. . Its pitiful. I think his specialty is iming that he is a teacher Now that I know that he is no different from me. It will be difficult to be proud from now on. You Ahaha. Why? Would it be an illusion if Baekhakgeomseon seemed to have a cold look on his face after hearing those words? Probably not. Thats because Baekhakgeomseon didnt just start hugging me more tightly, he suddenly started pinching me with the nails of both hands. As a strange tension began to form between the three, the Lord of Iron Blood drew in the corners of his mouth and made eye contact as if he was interested. hmm. Now that wevee this far, shall I ask one more question? I hope you answer well this time too. and. that woman. and me. If you had to choose between the two here, who would you choose? Han Seong-yoon. The moment when the Iron Blood Lord casually asked a question about a bombshell topic. ah. As soon as Baekhakgeomseon started looking at me with his eyes shining brightly, he instinctively realized one thing. Im in big trouble. This is a hell-difficulty problem that needs to be answered more carefully than expected. Chapter 494 494. Stopover (2) I was nervous. The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. I was asked who I would choose if I had to choose between the two. This was because I had a vague guess as to what the intention behind the question was. I dont know why theyre doing this, but it seems clear that they both feel a sense ofpetition with each other. If I had to be honest, should I say that this question is like asking a child whether he likes his mom or his dad? If I answer wrongly here, one of us will definitely get angry at me. In the end, even if you choose which of the two you prefer ande up with an answer, all that awaits you at the end is difort. . As he climbed the Tower of Trials, the data umted in his brain also increased, and thanks to this, his instantaneous judgment reached a level that waspletely different from that of an ordinary person. What is the best answer? In the blink of an eye, the flow of time in the real world and the world of consciousness became disconnected, and the speed of thinking elerated uncontrobly. Tsutsutsu. A few seconds in the real world was like a few minutes in the conscious world, and I thought about it again and again. Is it because he developed sharp judgment to ovee crisis situations in a fierce battle where life and death are at stake? Surprisingly, I was able to find an answer that could satisfy the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman faster than expected. As the saying goes, it is dark under amp, so the answer was nearby. Isnt this actually a problem that we dont need to worry about for a long time? In response, I gently closed my eyes for a moment, opened them again a few secondster, and then slowly parted my lips. Did you ask me who I would choose if I had to choose between the two of you? okay. Me and that woman. If you had to choose between the two, who would it be? Thats what Im asking. Whoa whoa. As a teacher andpanion, I, too, need to hear an answer to this story from Seongyoon. Please answer me. As it was, I made eye contact with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman in turns and continued the story in a serious tone. What a coincidence. ? Actually, I was going toe here and talk about something simr. I just needed someone to be with me. . Ill give you the answer. In order to improve thinking ability, by maximizing brain function and elerating the world of consciousness, there was only one answer. The Lord of Iron Blood. Phew. Thats right. Im listening. Baekhakgeomseon. Ugh! Im listening too! Seongyun. Its no different. I wouldnt choose one of them, I would choose both. . It was a prevarication. *** The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. When asked which of the two you would choose, was it a handshake that gave the answer that you would choose both? There was no need to say who came first between the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman, both of whom had cold expressions on their faces at the same time. Well, if you were thinking of one of two answers to the question, it would be natural to react that way. A question often asked by children, Who is better, Mom or Dad? is answered with Both are good! Because was like giving an answer that was just in boring. I didnt think those two would understand something like this anyway. Of course, I have no intention of ending this in a nonsensical way. aha. Right? Is that really an innovative answer? Thats amazing. Seongyoon Han. Is that the answer you give? You really have a lot of guts. The Iron Blood Lord clicked his tongue with a slightly disdainful look in his eyes. Haaa. Im disappointed. Arent Seongyoon and I close friends? Isnt there ack of trust? And you dont even know why youre choosing one of the two, but youre saying youll definitely choose both? Im indecisive. really. Baekhakgeomseon also looked at this direction with two lifeless eyes, as if it was not appropriate, and showed a coldness. no. I know what makes me choose one or the other. Exactly. ? But even for a moment. The Lord of Iron Blood. And Baekhakgeomseon. They are both precious people to me. But apart from that, isnt he a quasi-divine administrator subordinate to the Tower of Trials? . As this person continued to speak seriously without wavering, both of them stopped giving cool looks with strange expressions. Tower of Trials. The reason I remain as the manager is also to make my dreame true. Changes in history. Isnt that the ultimate goal you two pursue? . Its not even just that. As the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword mentioned the fundamental reason why they were working as administrators at the Tower of Trials, both of them had cold eyes filled with doubt. A look as if asking why we are talking about that here. After seeing that, I was convinced that the story was going ording to n, and I continued speaking in a calm tone. Unlike before, neither of them expressed their dissatisfaction with what they were saying. I knew it. Its a ssic tactic of suddenly changing the topic of conversation at an unexpected time and making people forget the previous conversation, but it worked better than expected. Even if it wasnt that in the first ce, it was a story that had to be shared properly someday, so you could say it kills two birds with one stone. Even so, it was necessary to talk about this with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman at least once, so it was not a nonsense just to avoid responsibility. One day, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman may pay the price for being subordinate to the Tower of Trials. . The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman did not answer that they were wrong. From the moment the Tower of Trials is cleared to the final floor and loses its power as a transcendent structure, what will happen to the Administrator is unknown. That is because the beings called managers who are subordinate to the Tower of Trials are nothing more than those who were resurrected by receiving power from the Tower of Trials as quasi-gods. Because of that, those two could have disappeared after a long time without being with me. You both know now. I am climbing the Tower of Trials to be a transcendent. And that it is not impossible to achieve. However, that is only a story that can be established when those two are subordinate to the Tower of Trials until the end. At that time, I will also have the same level of power as the Tower of Trials. Maybe its more than that. A solution definitely existed. [Administrator Steelblood Lord agrees with you.] Okay. Know. I watched from close as you climbed the Tower of Trials. You cant not know. The Iron Blood Lord touched his chin and agreed, while Baekhakgeomseon also nodded and expressed that he had no disagreement. [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) is confident that what you say is the truth without any lies.] Hmm. Its hard to believe that he can ovee that tower of trials, but I also think that Seongyoon is someone who can be a transcendent person. I think it is possible and the probability of it happening is not low. Neither of them expressed a negative opinion when told that this side might not only gain power equivalent to the Tower of Trials but could also be a transcendent. great. So, since we both agree that I have the potential to be a transcendent Ill get to the point. ? If the problem is that you are subordinated to a quasi-divine status with the title of manager by the Tower of Trials, wouldnt it be okay to change your affiliation? Its not a particrly difficult story. And. The Lord of Iron Blood. And Baekhakgeomseon. Both are precious rtionships to me. As time passes, I hope that you two will be by my side even at the moment when you seed in ascending to heaven and be transcendent. Therefore, under the assumption that this side would seed in ascending to heaven and be a transcendent in the future, a new path was presented to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. So Anyway, doesnt this side already have the most perfect means to get the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman out of the Tower of Trials? It means that I hope you will be my apostle and continue to be with me in the future. That too is very certain. *** The answer to how to get the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman out of the Tower of Trials was decided. Strictly speaking, administrators subordinate to the Tower of Trials are just a type of quasi-god. Apostle deity. At the point when I acquired powerparable to the three ancient gods, I would also have be a being that couldpete with the Tower of Trials. Thanks to this, it is now possible to freely overwrite the apostolic contracts made with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman under the leadership of the Tower of Trials. Now, it is not difficult to overwrite what was previously a purchase agreement between the manager and the challenger. This means that everything will be resolved just by proposing a subordination contract of Apostle Godhead to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. If I override the divine abilities that the Tower of Trials granted to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman with my power, there wont be much trouble. Should we say that it is thanks to him that he has be a powerparable to the three ancient gods? Now, it is no longer a task to remove a few managers from the Tower of Trials. And the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman also immediately realized this fact and expressed surprise, but it did notst long. For some reason, regardless of which of the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman came first, both of their faces turned red and showed a bizarre reaction. what? Bah bah what did you just say!! Chu, ck, ck!! The Sangvis Monarch was very embarrassed, unlike her, and not only stuttered, but also coughed repeatedly. Apostle Godhead? Ah, I hope well continue to be together in the future? Seongyoon Seo. Is it okay to say thats what it means? Baekhakgeomseon also stammered and expressed embarrassment, but unlike the Iron Blood Lord, he expressed a strange sense of anticipation. youre right. . I nodded and confirmed once again that Baekhakgeomseons guess was correct. It is safe to say that this is what it means for my apostle to be a god. ! Not only is it free from the subordination contract with the Tower of Trials, but it is also an opportunity to be an apostle of the transcendental and be a god. [The Lord of Iron Blood nces at you and feels both joy and confusion.] Oh my Is that what you mean? Oh, you mean its not a misunderstanding? Never ever! Its not that I dont like poetry, but that. Ah, anyway, isnt this too sudden? Hmm! Well, there is definitely an order ? [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (Q) looks at you with bright eyes and smiles brightly.] Huhuhuhu! W Of course! Hehehe! I thought this day woulde someday? Seongyoon and I are connected by the thread of fate as teacher and disciple! Yes? Right? . Is that why? Is it something to be so embarrassed and happy about being able to override the dependency contract with the Tower of Trials? When I told them that they could actually be free by bing my apostle godhead rather than the Tower of Trials, they both reacted strongly. Well, even if you sign a subordination contract with the Tower of Trials ande back as an administrator, its only natural that the administrator is not allowed to move freely. Well, even if it were me, I thought I would react as strongly as those two if I heard that I could be free after such a long time. Actually, the dependency contract with the Tower of Trials is overwritten by signing one more contract with me, so strictly speaking, it doesnt mean you will bepletely free Of course, the dependency contract with the Tower of Trials is overwritten with the apostle contract with me. It may be difficult to see it asplete freedom and liberation, but Do you think it wont matter? I didnt want to turn a good atmosphere into a bad one for the first time in a long time, so I stopped adding unnecessary objectivementary. Well, its true that its almost like freedom, and theres no need to add unnecessary words when Im so happy about it. Isnt imagination free? Chapter 495 495. Stopover (3) The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman spent a considerable amount of time soaked in joy. Is it because the subordination contract itself with the Tower of Trials can be overwritten with the contract of Apostle Godhead, making it like it never happened? Somehow, both of them were talking gibberish and at the same time showing all kinds ofplex emotions, showing a strange anticipation for what was toe. Well, is it natural since you both spent quite a bit of time as administrators at the Tower of Trials? However. [Administrator Steel-Blooded Lord nces at you, blushes, and lets his imagination run wild.] Ugh. Surprisingly, you also have a manly side. I never thought you would confess your feelings for me so bluntly. [Administrator Baekhakgeomseon looks at you and smiles brightly with pride and happiness.] Hehe. It really is like a dream. Seongyoon I will make sure you dont regret saying that you want to continue to be with me in the future. thank you. As the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman kept close to each other and continued to show favor, I felt a considerable burden and a sense of ominousness inside me without knowing why. Thats strange. Moreover, unlike her, the Lord of Iron Blood had also quietlye closer, cing his hand on her body. Baekhakgeomseon has been teaching me martial arts since ancient times, and as a teacher, I have had a lot of unintentional physical contact with him, and he is also very friendly, so its not particrly strange but I havent had much physical contact with the Lord of Iron Blood. I felt a sense of foreignness. I dont know why, but it feels like the focus of each story is strangely out of sync. Its not even just that. Uh hmm! Its good that you confessed your feelings so bluntly and openly, unlike you. But even so, I think this is too greedy. ? Ugh. Instead of choosing one of the two, didnt you dere that you would have both and that too confidently in front of the parties involved? Thats a bit of a dissatisfaction. . To be honest, it is difficult to understand most of the stories the Sangvis Lord tells with his cheeks stained red. I dont understand why youre calling me greedy It wasnt just the Lord of Iron Blood, it was also no different for the White Crane Swordsman. Hehehe. Isnt that the story of you not having the confidence to be Seongyoons first choice? Lord of Iron Blood. I have noints. Suddenly, as the White Crane Sword said that, it raised its head and looked at me, its eyes shining brightly. Hmph. Thats because Seongyoon and I are priests! Im not worried. As a teacher, I have the deepest bond with my students so its only natural that I be Seongyuns first, right? Right, Seongyoon? . Currently, the story between the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman is almost embracing each other, and a deep sense of heterogeneity is felt in the back and forth conversation. What on earth are you two talking about now? no. I feel a little sorry for her, but she didnt even really understand what she was saying. It made me wonder how much of the story the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman kept telling me. Huh? Well, we still dont know who Han Seong-yoon will choose first, right? I dont want you to think that you can handle everything as a teacher and student. Are you jealous? under! This is ridiculous. Jealousy? No way. Youre a teacher, but arent you weaker than a student? I wonder what a disciple would feel towards a teacher who has no sense of master. Im not particrly jealous. Ah I see You are jealous of me? Pity. I guess I told you Im not jealous at all? is it so. I understand. Its hard on your mind, right? Well, Seongyoons first one will be me, but Ill give the next one up to you. So, I hope you stop feeling jealous. I thought I said I wasnt jealous at all? No problem. . Crackling-. After hearing the White Crane Swordsmans words, the Lord of Iron Blood was angry for some reason, but he gritted his teeth with a blood clot on his forehead. this isnt good. Although this person was having a conversation that waspletely iprehensible, I felt like I shouldnt at least let those two continue talking. If the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman continued to talk like this, it was obvious that it would lead to trouble. I have no particr desire to personally experience the proverb that a whales back explodes in a fight. Sze-. Just like that, I slowly slipped back out with a little bit of force on my body, and naturally changed the flow of conversation so that the two of them wouldnt get into a fight. Earlier, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman both became my apostles and said they would continue to be with me in the future. Even so, I had decided what to do from the moment the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman gave me the answer that they could be my apostles. Since you both agreed without disagreement on my apostle bing a deity, I believe there is no need to waste any more time. That too for sure. After selecting the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman as apostles, I will bestow one of my concept divinity on each of them. The moment I looked at the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman alternately with my eyes narrowed. So The Iron-Blooded Lord and the White Crane Swordsman, who were engaged in a war of nerves with each other, closed their lips in silence, their eyes shining with anticipation. Please get ready. . That means only one thing. [The God of Transcendence and Death looks at the candidates for the Apostle Godhead with his eyes shining calmly.] [ From now on, by making the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman my Apostle Godhead, I will elevate them both to a higher level of Godhood. ] It means that they will be forcibly imprinted on those two with the hierarchy of divinity, a higher divinity that can only be reached after honing ones own concept of divinity to the limit. *** I was sure. Although we have not directly tested it, we were able to intuit it as a being with powerparable to the three ancient gods. I was certain that I would be able to create a high-level god just by bestowing the power that was close to the remnants of my divine supernormal abilities to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. Well, of course, if I only look at the fact that an apostle who serves me bes a deity, I think the level of a formal deity rather than a higher level deity would be enough Is that why? If I think about all the concept deities that I have collected through necromancy, I think it would be more difficult to elevate them to formal deities rather than higher deities. Rather, it felt like it would be easier to elevate the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman to higher-level gods. First of all, I have something to say before I take the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman as my apostles and elevate them to higher-level gods. Just like that, I looked at the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman and said a few things of caution. The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman will receive my concept divinity one by one in order to be a higher level god. I guess so. Strictly speaking, both I and that woman are nothing more than quasi-goddesses. Isnt it that the concept of divinity is given to you one by one so that you can be a higher deity? youre right. That could be a problem if youre unlucky. The concept of a higher deity. Divinity is something like an auxiliary consciousness. There is a small possibility that mental contamination may ur. Ugh thats bad news. Still, seeing as Seongyoon doesnt make a big deal out of it, I dont think its a problem. Is that right? yes. As you said, mental pollution to the extent of ego copse will not ur due to the concept of divinity of the higher godhead. I also took action in my own way. There were several solutions. As the level of the unique characteristics of this necromancy increases, it is possible to extract the concept divinity of higher deities and almost remove the impurities of the concept divinity. Well, even if that wasnt the case, it wouldnt have been a big problem because I had personally erased the thoughts of the higher godhead within the concept of divinity. However, even though I have dabbled in the concept of divinity as a higher godhead, you may receive some degree of mental shock, so you should be prepared. If I were to be specific, I think all it would do is make the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman feel a little dirty. Perhaps after I be a high-ranking godhead as an apostle, I will be able to terminate the managers contract with the Tower of Trials at any time. Are you saying that I should immediately treat the dependency contract I signed with the Tower of Trials as no longer exist and step down from my position as manager? no. Rather, I would like you to act as an administrator at the Tower of Trials for the time being. Until its too close. Hehehe. all right. Its not that difficult. Just keep doing it the way you always did, right? I will follow Seongyuns wishes. I understand. Since you also have something on your mind I will stay in the Tower of Trials as you wish. great. If youpletely free yourself from the dependency contract with the Tower of Trials and quit your job as a manager, the Law of Foreshadowing you gained as a Pioneer may also disappear. Perhaps all the skills and powers gained from the Tower of Trials may disappear. First of all, the best way is to belong to the Tower of Trials. Before I knew it, I had finished delivering the warnings to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. Chak-. Its none other than Lets begin. Now is the time to elevate the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword to a higher level of deity by making them apostles. ! In response, I informed the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword that I would make the Apostle a god, and then activated my divine power. [.] [The ancient divine power Designate Apostle Godhood is activated.] [By designating the Apostle Godhood, you can make a believer a godhead or a believer into an Apostle Godhead.] And. [.] [Loads a list of believers who can be designated as Apostle Godhead.] [By designating Apostle Godhood, you can forcibly raise the level of divinity that a believer possesses.] Ancient sacred power Designate Apostle Godhood The moment it is confirmed that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman are also on the list of believers. [A believer who can designate Apostle Godhood (10): Lord of Iron Blood [Canary Rugfeld]] [A believer who can designate Apostle Godhood (11): White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seol-hwa]] [.] I found it. As is, I chose to designate both of them as apostle gods using the ancient divine power of designation of apostle godhood and then elevate them to a higher level of godhood. [.] [The God of Transcendence and Death designates the Shinto Iron-Blooded Lord [Canary Rugfeld] as an Apostle Godhead.] [The God of Transcendence and Death designates the Shinto Iron-Blooded Lord [Canary Rugfeld] as an Apostle. She is designated as a deity and is granted the divine .] To begin with, the Lord of Iron Blood was granted the divine that a higher deity had, and her body was enveloped in the light of divinity in an instant. [.] [The god of transcendence and death designates Shinto White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seol-hwa] as an apostle godhead.] [The god of transcendence and death designates Shint White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seol-hwa] as an apostle godhead. Divine is granted.] It was no different for Baekhakgeomseon, and she was also imbued with the divine that higher deities possessed, and the light of divinity enveloped her entire body. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! Next moment. Tsutsutsu! In an instant, the level of divinity and soul of the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman rose, and they seeded in being reborn as high-ranking gods. Gooooo-! The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman have be higher-ranking gods as my apostles and can override the subordination contract with the Tower of Trials at any time. Its huge. Its not even just that. I dont know why, but the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman have blossomed into the level of divinity and soul that belong to the very highest axis among the higher deities. Useless concepts of higher deities such as divinity or divinity . Considering that they gave me divinity, I feel like I am better than the original owner. Somehow, this seems to have elevated the apostle to godhood much more neatly than I thought But Huh? Was it not an illusion? [.] [Conditions met.] [A new power for an apostle who has received conceptual divinity from an ancient god is inscribed in the ancient divine power Designate Apostle Godhood.] Suddenly, in the ancient divine power Designate Apostle Godhead A new power has been imprinted on me. [It is possible for the God of Transcendence and Death to bestow new power on the Apostle Godhead, to whom he has shared his concept of divinity.] When I saw the system message that appeared in front of me, I could not help but widen my eyes and express my bewilderment. [You can share either Divine or Divine at a degraded level with the Apostle Godhead Steelblood Lord [Canary Rugfeld] and the Apostle Godhead White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seolhwa].] Well . ? obviously. Chapter 496 496. Stopover (4) [.] [Conditions met.] [The ancient divine power Apostle Godhead Designation is inscribed with new power for the Apostle Godhead who has received conceptual divinity from the ancient Godhead.] A system in sight As I read the messages, I felt deeply embarrassed. [.] [It is possible for the God of Transcendence and Death to bestow new power on the Apostle Godhead to whom he has shared his concept of divinity.] [The Apostle Godhead Steelblood Lord [Canary Rugfeld] and the Apostle Godhead White Crane You can share one of the sacred and sacred with Geomseon [Baek Seol-hwa] at a degraded level.] What? It was worth it. In fact, the new ability engraved in the ancient sacred authority Apostle Godhead Designation was far beyond the scope ofmon sense. At this point, it doesnt seem like a big deal that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman became higher-level gods as apostles. What is this? I was confused. Now I can share the sacred and sacred with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman? The divinity and divinity that this side possesses are powers that are different from the general concept of divinity. The divinity and the divinity that exist as the basis of divinity are also myself, who became an ancient divinity. Being able to share it with someone means that I can practically split myself up and give it away. Like an alter ego. Is that even possible? Perhaps because of that, all kinds of thoughts bloomed in my head for a short period of time, and I felt dazed, as if my brain itself was overloaded. Even the three ancient gods would not be able to share the concept of divinity itself, which is the basis of the godhead, to the apostolic godhead like me. If I can share my concept of divinity with the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman, this is not something to be taken lightly. That is, there is a possibility that a being who shares divine or divine from me will be considered an ancient deity like me. In fact, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman may also be able to step into the realm of ancient gods. . Only. Degrade one of the Holy and Holy to the Apostle Godhead Iron-Blooded Lord [Canary Rugfeld] and the Apostle Godhead White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seol-hwa] respectively. You can share it at any level. Still, it wont go that far since it doesnt share all of my conceptual divinity, but rather provides power through an imperfect deterioration te. Even if I were to share the power of sacred or divine with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, it would be nothing more than a deterioration of the power I possess. Whether it is sacred or divine , if it deteriorates in the process of being shared with others, there will definitely be a difference in performance. If we were to be honest, should we say that this is a simr case to the God of Victory we saw in the Battlefield of the Gods before? In the battlefield of gods prepared by the Tower of Trials, the God of Victory seeded in embodying the divine to some extent, but in the end, since it was a copy and not the original, differences in performance were bound to exist. Unless I, the God of Transcendence and Death, disappear, the copied divinity of the God of Victory, , will never be real and will remain fake. This has already been clearly proven on the battlefield of the gods by showing that the victorious god has notpletely mastered the sacred and handles it at an extremely degraded level. Perhaps in the end, he will have a power simr to that of the God of Victory who fought in the Battlefield of the Gods in the past If you think about it, even if you share the Holy or the Holy with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, There is a high possibility that he will not be an ancient deity. It wont be exactly the same as when the God of Victory downloaded the replica divine from the Tower of Trials. However, unlike when the Tower of Trials created a replica of the divine and gave it to the God of Victory, the process and method of deteriorating the divine supernormal abilities are not the same. The Tower of Trials imitates the power of my concepts divinity from a pure nk te, like creating something from nothing, but in this case, the power of the original is deteriorated and transmitted. As I thought earlier, it may be possible to share consciousness by dividing the sacred and the sacred . In the worst case, wouldnt the two concepts that form the basis of the divinity, such as the ego or consciousness engraved in the divinity, be merged or consumed Of course, if this side controls and suppresses the ego and consciousness engraved in the supernormal abilities of the divinity, they will not be able tomunicate with each other. It may stop at a certain level. But on the other hand, doesnt that mean we can stop at that level? Well, I dont really have any intention of doing that, but you could use this part to use the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman as a spawn point. Sharing a part of my self and consciousness engraved in the Divine and the Divine means that I can take control of the body and soul of the Apostle Godhead at any time as I wish. Somehow, the way you use this changes depending on your point of view, and most of them seem to lead to unpleasant conclusions. There was no choice but to use the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword for unpleasant purposes other than purely strengthening it. At most, is it an advantage to be able to exchange thoughts and emotions in a straight line by sharing a part of my ego and consciousness that reside in sacred and divine ? However, it wasnt a bad thing. Thats fun. Perhaps, by sharing the sacred and sacred , even if only in a degraded version, with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, the level of divinity and soul they possess could be greatly raised. This Is that why? Goooo! I couldnt help butugh as I watched the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman settle into the realm of higher deities as apostles and hoard their divine power. Maybe Ive found a new hidden card. It will not be long before we find out how strong the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman can be as the Apostle Goddess. *** Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo! The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, who had easily digested the divine and divine they had received from this side,nded lightly, showing their divine and soul status without hesitation. widely-. The Iron Blood Lord softly scattered pure white divine power and muttered like a person possessed by something. [The Iron-Blooded Lord Canary Rugfeld is amazed at the new power he gained by bing a high-ranking god.] [I see This is a being who has refined the concept of divinity, which is the basis of godhood, to the limit Is this a high-level god? . Its mysterious. ] She used the divine voice without any hesitation and expressed surprise at the new power she had gained. [ everything feels different than when I only had a very weak concept of divinity that could not even be considered a formal god. ] Thanks to the divine given by this side, he has risen to a higher level of divine status in an instant, so he seems to greatly feel the presence of the newly established divine power. [what should I say. It felt as if I had been underwater all my life and then came back tond. Is the higher godhead such a special being? Its beyond imagination. ] The white crane sword ship standing next to it was not much different. no. In fact, the White Crane Swordsman was reacting more dramatically than the Iron Blood Lord. It looks as if he has attained some kind of enlightenment by being reborn from a quasi-divine to a higher god. [I am thrilled by the concept of higher godhood that Baek Seol-hwa, the swordsman of Baekhak, has acquired as an apostle godhead.] [ The world looks different. Something more than just energy can be felt throughout the space. What on earth is this? Did something like this exist? ] Somehow, unlike the Lord of Iron Blood who admired the level of divinity and soul he had achieved as a high-ranking god, White Crane Swordsman seemed to be feeling something particrly special. Have you already begun to deeply understand the power of the concept of divinity gained as a higher deity? It wasnt my fault. From the moment he became a higher-ranking god and gained divinity, a concept he had honed to its limit, Baekhakgeomseon seems to have instinctively acquired the realization of divinity itself. It wasnt even that he had lightly acquired the realization of divinity itself, one by one, but it seemed as if he had grasped the logic equivalent to a higher level of divinity with a high level of understanding of divinity. Im learning the basics of being a high-ranking god faster than I thought. The Sangvis Lord also seems to have adapted quickly in his own way, considering that he did not go through the usual step-by-step growth and became a high-ranking god immediately without any chance He went one step further than the Sangvis Lord and deepened the divine abilities he had umted as a high-ranking god. I started to understand. Perhaps if things continue like this, Baekhakgeomseon will be able to go beyond deeply understanding the concept divinity itself andpletely transform it into his own? To be honest, it is not a level of talent that is easy to find even if you search all over the universe. Innate talent. There is no other way to express it other than that. Is Baekhakgeomseon also born with a talent? Once again, I realized that Baekhakgeomseon was also a formidable person who had climbed the Tower of Trials and ovee all kinds of chaos. The Lord of Iron Blood. And Baekhakgeomseon. I think both of them seeded in being reborn as high-ranking deities without any problems Im d. At that, I looked at the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman with a smile on my face, and then opened my mouth. As my Apostle Godhead and High Godhead, both of you will henceforth be less affected by the subordination contract you have made with the Tower of Trials than before. Well, it seems that not only the Lord of Iron Blood but also the White Crane Swordsman will need a period of adaptation to the new power gained as a high-ranking god Isnt that a problem that will be resolved over time? First, after focusing on the significance of the fact that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman were safely reborn as apostles, he quickly got to the point. There is no reason to talk slowly after some time has passed. Actually, if it had been the same, this would have been all I could do for you two, but I was lucky. [The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, looks at you and looks puzzled.] [ You said you were lucky? What does that mean? Is there still something more left? ] Thats right. I gained new strength, perhaps because for the first time, I was given the concepts of divinity that I had and created an apostle godhead. [Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, tilts her head and blinks as if she is not sure.] [ New power? ] yes. As such, I informed the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman that they would each be able to share either the sacred or the sacred with a thermal version. I am now able to share with you two the divine and the divine that the God of Transcendence and Death used as the basis of his godhood. With a thermal te. Is that why? [The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, is astonished by your remarks.] [What? What is that!! What you have must be the concept of divinity, an ancient godhead? Even if the divine supernormal abilities were deteriorated, is that possible? ] [Baek Hak-seon Baek Seol-hwa gets very excited at your words, her eyes sparkling brightly.] [ Is it true? That we can also have the divinity and divinity that Seongyoon possesses? Is that possible? ] yes. its possible. In theory. Well, there might be some minor problems but I dont think it will be that big of a problem. After hearing what this person said, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman each couldnt hide their excitement and came striding towards them and reacted violently. [I am excited about the fact that the Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, can receive a new concept of divinity from you.] [You. You just said that each person can share one of the sacred and the sacred ? Then, you can choose whether to obtain the divine or the divine ! ] [Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, looks at you and smiles with both embarrassment and happiness.] [ Ugh. Having to choose between sacred and sacred . Im happy, but its difficult.] I think those two are probably thinking deeply about which divinity to choose Its too early. It was kimchi soup. I think its still a little early to choose between the two. [ ? ] Before I share sacred and sacred with you two, there is one thing I need to confirm. [ . ] Its simple. Isnt that right? . And thew of perception. After hearing about it, I will decide which divinity is right for you both. Thew of foreshadowing that the Tower of Trials gave to seers is a power that not even the three ancient gods possess. If the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman still possess that power beyondmon sense, the correct order would be to find out about it and then share their divine supernormal abilities. Thats why, with a grin on my face, I slowly pursed my lips as I looked at the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman. From now on, I was nning to find out step by step the power of the seer and w of perseverance of the two managers who did not even have the three ancient gods. [The God of Transcendence and Death looks very interested in the two administrators andughs.] [The Lord of Sangvis. And Baekhakgeomseon. It is time to tell you about the seer and thew of seer that you two possess.] That too, very definitely. Chapter 497 497. Stopover (5) Among the challengers who had risen to the upper ranks of the Tower of Trials, the Pioneer and the resulting Pioneer Rule that it gave to rankers were of great value. Even the beings called the three ancient gods did not have powers outside of standards such as the Precursors Law of Foreshadowing. In fact, the Law of Presence gained by bing a Precursor is a power that allows mortals to stand against even the three ancient deities. If not only I, but also the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman have it, it will be of great help in the future depending on how they use it. If the Tower of Trials hadnt retrieved the Supervisors ability called the Law of Perception that the Administrator had acquired during his lifetime, those two could have be great allies as well. The Precursor and the Precursor Law. I heard that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman still have it. Then shouldnt we listen to that first? ording to what Dam Cheon-Woo said earlier, didnt he say that the visionary power given by the Tower of Trials and the power of the visionaryw gained through it are still in the hands of the administrator? Damcheonwoo is also a challenger who climbed to the 41st floor of the Tower of Trials, and he knows a lot about many things, so he couldnt have given me wrong information. It was true. [The Iron Blood Lord Canary Rugfeld frowns, feeling a little embarrassed by your words.] [ Where did you hear that the Tower of Trials did not retrieve the Precursors Law of Foreshadowing from the administrator? Isnt this information likely to be unknown to you at this point? ] [Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, looks at you and tilts her head as if questioning.] [ Huh? Iknow, right. I guess the information that some managers have thew of vision acquired as a visionary has not yet been revealed to Seongyoon, right? How did you know? ] Well, I also have a helper who tells me about rare information. Besides that, I also know that neither of them have any major restrictions on disclosing information. It was a lie. There was nothing like that, it was just a story I found out from Dam Cheon-woo, who resides in the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword. Well, getting in-depth information about the Tower of Trials itself requires a lot of time and effort. I think I might be able to find out more if I go to a ce like the official climbing ne where the Tower of Trials is located and poke around here and there but I dont really want to waste my time on that. Damcheonwoo also knows a lot of advanced information about the Tower of Trials, and unlike ordinary challengers, I have no problem clearing the trials even if I dont know that. It was natural. That is, it is high-level information that only a very small number of challengers who have risen to the upper ranks will know about how the Tower of Trials will change in the future. It didnt seem to be very efficient whether they were going around the official climbing levels registered at the Tower of Trials and looking for high-ranking challengers or those in power who had shared advanced information with them. In that case, it would be better to ask Dam Cheon-woo for important information once in a while before moving on. Theres no need to waste time. like now. ah. And what kind of seer and seerws were provided to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword as options in the past. I think it would be good if you could tell me as much as you remember. The Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman also seemed to have decided to get to the point rather than continuing to wonder how I had discovered information that had not yet been made public. [Canary Rugfeld, the Lord of Iron Blood, nods and answers as if he knew this would happen.] [Yes. Well, as a seer, you also kind of expected this to be the case when you acquired thew of seer so its not unexpected. Let me tell you. ] She came forward and spoke as if she wanted to start with the Iron Blood Lord. [Canary Rugfeld, the Lord of Iron Blood, looks back on old memories and speaks.] [When I was still a challenger, I was selected as a pioneer by the Tower of Trials and was given three options. ] The Lord of Iron Blood calmly exined, recalling the threews of foresight presented to him by the Tower of Trials as a forerunner. [Judge. It was a way to learn thew of perceiving . By quantifying the good deeds and bad deeds of others, it was possible to randomly impose a penalty of confiscating one concept of divinity or magical power from a being whose evil deeds were higher than their good deeds It was ambiguous in many ways. ] [ traveler. It was an option to learn thew of precognition It was a useless movement ability that allowed you to roam anywhere in the universe at will. You cant go to a ce youve never been to before. Well, I dont need to say more than this, right? It was trash so I didnt pick it. ] [ conductor. I was able to learn the Law of Perception, mand>, and when using it, it was possible to temporarily increase all abilities by 100% and grant absolute mental power to multiple allies but thats a power that only truly shows its true value when there are arge number of allies. Isnt it? I didnt think it was efficient. ] If we had to be honest, should we say that it is an unlucky case like Dam Cheon-woo? Judgew of judgment can apply a strong penalty when thetter value of good deed value and bad deed value is higher, but conversely, it cannot be used if good deed value is higher than bad deed value . The Traveler precept rule , as the Lord of Iron Blood said, is nothing more than a movement ability, so it is a failure for those who desperately wantbat abilities. Unlike Judge, mand> is superior because, unlike Judge, it does not have any conditions for use, and unlike Traveler, it is specialized in the battle itself, so it is better, but it cannot be evaluated as a good ability. [The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, continues speaking with a bitter smile.] [All three have powers that do not suit me. In the end, I had no choice but to reset all of the pioneers options and choose a new option. Well, the good news among the misfortunes is that in the end, I gained very good abilities. ] Perhaps because of that, the Lord of Iron Blood also reset and refreshed all three pioneer options like Dam Cheon-woo before making a decision. [Conqueror. I was able to learn thew of perseverance, , and unlike the twows of perseverance mentioned earlier, it was absolutely excellent. Even challengers selected by the Tower of Trials as pioneers rarely have better abilities than this. ] However. [ When activating the Law of Perception , a special barrier is constructed using divine power, reducing the sacred power and magical power consumption of allies within the range by 30%, and reducing the sacred power and magical power reserves of enemies by 30%. presents an overwhelming penalty that cannot be recovered naturally. ] The Lord of Iron Bloods pioneerw of the Conqueror, , was not evenpared at all with the pioneeringw of Dam Cheon-Woos pioneer Resurrectionist, such as . [ ah. For reference, the maximum range of a special barrier made up of divine power created by activating thew of perseverance is the entire. also. The special barrier of , as well as the structures within that range, are set as absolutely indestructible items. ] The difference in performance of thews of foreshadowing was so severe that the seer possessed by the Lord of Iron Blood could not bepared in any way with the seer possessed by Dam Cheon-woo. [The Iron Blood Lord Canary Rugfeld looks at you and smiles confidently.] [Now. What is it like? From your perspective, the pioneer conqueror seems like a fairly useful power. ] . no. The pioneer conqueror and the pioneerw is not at a level that seems useful. The Absolutely Indestructible tag ced on the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword by the manager of the Tower of Trials, The Hero of the Ruined World, has never been broken. If you think about it, if you spread the special barrier created by thew of enlightenment across an entire, it could be an unbreakable battlefield even if three ancient godse and fight. Its amazing to transform a itself into an indestructible fortress, but the additional effects applied to allies and enemies are also incredible. Its not even just that. Not only is it not enough for allies to receive a 30% reduction in the cost of sacred power and magic power, but it also makes it impossible for enemies to naturally recover their holy power and magic power. That means that unless the Ancient Godhead also has the means to counter the power of the Forerunner and the Law of Precursor, he will not be able to fight on his home ground for very long. Excellent. This is even more true when you consider that the pioneeringw of the conqueror, , seems to be effective even when dealing with multiple ancient deities. Is that why? Sze-. I was looking forward to it. White Crane Swordsman, who was chosen as a seer by the Tower of Trials like the Lord of Iron Blood, what kind of seer and what kind of seerw does he have? Moreover, since it could not have been of a lower level than the Seer Conqueror of the Iron Blood Lord and the Forerunner Law , expectations for the White Crane Swordsman were bound to inte even more. Now that we know about the Lord of Iron Bloods vision and thews of vision, it is now White Crane Swordsmans turn to tell us. But. [Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, feels burdened by your expectant gaze and turns her head slightly.] [ Ugh. Im sorry to Seo Seong-yoon, but unlike that woman, I wont be of much help to Seo Seong-yoon. Please dont expect that much. ] Contrary to what people think, Baekhakgeomseon opened his mouth with a bit of despondency, as if thews of enlightenment he had acquired as a pioneer were not so good. [Trainee. By learning the Law of Perception , I was able to permanently increase all my abilities simply by repeating the task. Without limits. However, I didnt choose it because it wasnt particrly attractive. ] Is that so. [Predator. After learning the Law of Perception , when you specify an opponent and use it, you can steal 40% of the opponents total divinity and internal power for 10 minutes and increase the amount of damage the opponent receives by 100%. In the end, it wasnt chosen in the end. ] Whats next? [ That. ] But. [Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, slumps her shoulders and continues speaking with no confidence.] [ Sigh. The following are the pioneers and thews of vision that I ultimately chose. As I said at the beginning, it wont be of much help to Seongyoon, so dont be disappointed] That wasnt the case. [Adapter. I was able to learn thew of foresight , and the power of thew of foresight itself is simple. From the moment you activate , you can adapt to the damage received and gain resistance, immunity, or response ability. ] Rather, the pioneers andws of the White Crane Sword had ridiculous powers that went beyondmon sense. [ Adapter and thew of foresight When activated, takes time to identify attacks inflicted on me, and then acquires resistance to the same attack, reducing the amount of damage, or bing immune to the same attack so that I do not take any damage at all. ] It was certain. [Uhand. If it is impossible to respond to the same attack even if I gain resistance or be immune, I can temporarily acquire the ability to respond ordingly. Its not permanent though. ] and. [Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, nces at you and smiles awkwardly.] [ Are you disappointed because it is a useless power that is not of much help to Seong-yoon? ] . I just stared nkly at the White Crane Swordsman for a few seconds and then suddenlyughed out of bewilderment. This is a useless power that doesnt really help me? Realized. Are you bragging to me with irony? Perhaps, unlike the Lord of Iron Blood, the White Crane Swordsman could be the best ally in some cases, capable of fighting even the ancient god itself. Chapter 498 Episode 498 Revive (1) Adapter. Unlike the Conqueror, the pioneer of the Iron Blood Lord, the power of Baekhakgeomseon continues to grow stronger without affecting others at all. Unlike the firstw , the firstw does not expect organic connection with others or support from the rear at all. . But. Its ridiculous. It didnt matter. no. Rather, it was good. Thats because, unlike the pioneer Conqueror, the pioneer Adapter did not have a support function that influenced others, but was specialized to the point where it was unrivaled in the battle itself. Whats with all this? In fact, even from this perspective, thew of precognition seemed to be a bizarre force that went beyond the scope ofmon sense. When you take damage from an attack, you no longer take the same damage from that attack or the damage is drastically reduced. Not only that, if you arepletely unable to respond to an opponents specific attack method, you will temporarily acquire a special ability that corresponds to a natural enemy rtionship. Neither of them had the power to judge based onmon sense. Of course, Baekhakgeomseon should have said that the tolerance, immunity, and response ability gained through thew of precognition are only temporary powers I narrowed my eyes and continued thinking, but suddenly I couldnt hold back and burst intoughter. . Even taking that into ount, isnt thew of prescience a level of power that can be given to a single challenger? Isnt that right? In theory, pioneer adaptors can be stronger without limit under the premise of maintaining the activation of the pioneerw . If I, instead of Baekhakgeomseon, had been given the pioneer Adapter, I might have been able to win even if three ancient gods attacked at once. Well, thew of precognition is a power given to Baekhakgeomseon, not me, so its an assumption without any particr meaning Is that why? Apart from that, if you can utilize the Law of Perception to its limit, even the White Crane Swordsman can stand against an ancient god. Thought. Perhaps it might be possible to develop the White Crane Swordsman into a secret weapon that can even fight against ancient gods. However, Baekhakgeomseon seemed to have realized to some extent what this side was thinking and quickly added an exnation. [Baek Hak-seon Baek Seol-hwa looks at you and smiles bitterly as if she is troubled.] [Hmm. I think I know what Seongyoon thinks of pioneers and adapters. However, as I said before, this is not a power that will be of much help to Seongyoon. ] Baekhakgeomseon continued his exnation with a shallow sigh. [ Actually, when I was alive, I was not able to fully utilize the power of the pioneer adaptor. That will still be the case now. This is too much power that doesnt suit me. ] After listening to her story, it wasnt long before I realized why she reacted the way she did. [The Law of Presence is a power that continuously consumes divine power when activated. The consumption value of basic divine power is so high that it is impossible to activate it at all times during battle. ] [ Even the basic sacred power consumption value is too much for me The problem is that when damage adaptation to an attack is made, additional sacred power consumption urs. ] [ Even, the amount of additional sacred power consumed increases in proportion to the activation time and number of adaptations of thew of prescience . ] . That too, very definitely. [ Because of that, I have never exercised thew of precognition to the end. It wont be any different even now that youve be a high-ranking god. ] Baekhakgeomseon nced at me with a gloomy expression and spoke with slumped shoulders. [ Thats why. I told Seongyoon that my precognitivew would not be of much help. It may look good on the outside, but in reality it is not at all like that. ] Should I call it a bright apricot? It may seem good at first nce, but in reality, it is impossible to continue to be stronger through thew of adaptation . I thought I knew why Baekhakgeomseon said earlier that the power of the pioneer Adapter would not be of much help to me. Thew of precognition basically has such a huge divinity consumption value that even high-level deities cannot handle it. As if that werent enough, each time you repeatedly adapt to damage from attacks using thew of foresight , additional sacred power is consumed separately from the basic cost. Contrary to theory, thew of foresight cannot be used for a long time or even used multiple times in reality. I finally felt like I understood. Well, it would be even stranger if there were no restrictions on using thew of precognition . I thought that Baekhakgeomseon probably had a lot of experience using thew of perception in real life during his lifetime. At best, all you had to do was gain resistance or immunity to the opponents special moves by using thew of precognition and then engage in a short decisive battle. Aside from that, there may be things like blocking continuous damage such as dot damage, or gaining an all-or-nothing response ability from an opponent with a badpatibility, but its never like we think it will be possible to fight against an ancient god. There wouldnt have been anything like that. Is it because the White Crane Swordsman eventually reached its limit because it could not bear the cost of its sacred power? I even slightly sympathized with it. Although I also belong to the category of having a veryrge amount of divine power, it is only arge amountpared to other ancient gods and is far from infinite. Its just that I dont feel like its enough to use all kinds of abilities, including skills and powers, to noticeably reduce the consumption value of divine power, refine the magic in the body, and convert it into divine power. If you think about that, it would have been only in your imagination that Baekhakgeomseon would always activate thew of perception, . But I wasnt disappointed. But to put it the other way around, doesnt that mean that as long as Baekhakgeomseon can handle the cost of divine power, we can obtain theoretical power? Suddenly, a solution that could cover Baekhakgeomseons small divine power came to mind. I think its still too early to be disappointed. [ yes? ] In the end, the reason why Master cant use the Law of Transcendent for a long time is because the amount of divine power is insufficient. [ thats right. My sacred power is not that much, but thew of foresight increases the consumption of sacred power in proportion to the time of use and the number of adaptations. ] Its no different. Maybe thats a problem I can solve. [ You think you can solve this? If Seongyoon is trying to increase the amount of my divine power, it is inefficient. I cant increase my sacred power that much in a short period of time. ] no. There is no need to increase the amount of divine power the Master possesses. There is a better way than that. [? ] Do you remember that I said earlier that I could share the sacred and sacred with you two, at least in a backwardpatible way? [ I remember that, but Im having a hard time understanding how that means I can solve this problem. ] Its not a particrly difficult story. Wouldnt it be possible to hand out the sacred and sacred to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, respectively? Its simple. From the point when the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman have the divine or the divine , even if only as backwardspatibility, they will be deeply connected to me through the concept of divinity. Like one body. And [The god of transcendence and death smiles.] [ Do you know by any chance that it is an auxiliary battery? ] That means I can deliver my divine power to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman anytime, anywhere. *** You can share one of the Holy and Holy at a degraded level with the Apostle Godhead Steelblood Lord [Canary Rugfeld] and the Apostle Godhead White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seolhwa]. There is no other way to describe it as luck that we were able to share the sacred and sacred with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, even if only in a minor version. If I hadnt been able to bestow the divine and divine on those two, wouldnt I have been able to properly use the white crane swordsmansw of perception, ? Too bad. But not anymore. The story changed at the point when it was possible to bestow the two concepts of divinity, albeit backwards interchangeably, on the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. If Im right, the two of you can give you strength simply by possessing some of the divine and divine . Satisfied. [The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, narrows his eyes and expresses anticipation.] [ Could it be that the power I can receive from you is more than just divine power? ] The Lord of Iron Blood, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between me and the White Crane Swordsman, suddenly popped out and asked that question. youre right. Perhaps my divinity and soul status can also be borrowed temporarily. Well, the extent will vary depending on the capabilities of the two of you. [Oh my. In other words am I saying that in some cases, I or that woman could have powers beyond that of a higher god? ] Well, even if I dont reach the level of an ancient god, I think I can be strong enough to be a handful among the higher-ranking gods. [Thats good news. ] The Iron Blood Lord seemed a little excited and expressed his appreciation with a smile on his face. [I never thought we would reach the end of the upper level of deity, having not even be a formal deity, let alone a higher level of deity, until just now. ] However, Baekhakgeomseon seemed to be more concerned about whether he might be able to draw on the power of the seer adapter rather than about reaching the end of the higher level of godhood. [Baek Hak-geomseon Baek Seol-hwa wants to download the concept divinity from you as soon as possible.] [ Seongyun. I think the preparations are enough When will I be able to receive Seongyoons concept divinity? ] Well, in a way, I was justified in being excited because I might be able to use thew of precognition , which I had not been able to use properly until now. Well, I was thinking about starting soon. This side also had no intention of dying bestowing the sacred and sacred to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. Well, unlike before, there isnt anything you two need to be careful about, so lets get started right away. and. Gooooo-! Next moment. [The God of Transcendence and Death bestows divinity at a degraded level to the apostle god White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seol-hwa].] [The god of transcendence and death grants divinity to the apostle god Steel-Blooded Lord [Canary Rugfeld]. is given to a deteriorated level.] Kuhuung! In an instant, the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman were engulfed in golden and ck divine power, and the powers of sacred and sacred were engraved on them, respectively. Tsutsutsu. Unlike before, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman did not struggle to stabilize the power of the divine concept. Thats because the two concepts I gave you, divinity, have no separate elements that need to be stabilized. Perhaps because of this, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword showed strange reactions even after receiving the powers of divine and divine , respectively. It seems like they cant really realize what has changed. [The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, tilts his head with narrowed eyes.] [Hmm I guess this is the sacred Im not sure what has changed. You might feel a little itchy, but thats it. ] [Baek Hak-seon Baek Seol-hwa feels uneasy with an unknown sense of incongruity.] [ Its the same. This is probably a sacred , but it feelspletely different from before. I cant tame the concept divinity as I want, and I have no idea what kind of power it is. ] Of course. Because the concept that is the basis of my divinity is divinity. It would be impossible to actively operate it. Isnt divinity or divinity the concept of divinity that I used as the basis of divinity? Even if the power of the sacred and the sacred had deteriorated, it was not a power that could be easily controlled. Rather, it is strange that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman can tame the concept of divinity at will or immediately realize the supernormal abilities of that concept. Perhaps it will take me time to gain experience before I can realize and manipte the power of my concept of divinity. In the passage of time, I may have had to delve into the concept of divinity that I had given and gain enlightenment in my own way. what. Even if it wasnt, I had a ce to go with the two of them at the right time, so it worked out well. [ What does that mean? Is there somewhere you need to go? I dont know where youre going. I dont think there is such a thing, but am I mistaken? ] However, I have no intention of letting those two waste time in amon waiting room in a way that is far from efficient. no. You know? A ce to go. Im sure you both know that the Tower of Trials has changed significantly due to the major expansion of the system. Isnt that right? The Tower of Trials expands the exploration space by activating the [Dimension Layer] outside the personal waiting room of challengers who have cleared the 45th floor trial. From now on, challengers can go outside each others private waiting rooms and continue their exploration of the [Dimension Layer]. . With the massive expansion of the system, the Tower of Trials created an exploration space called [Dimension Layer] outside the waiting room. There is no reason not to use it. The Tower of Trials has created a new space for challengers to explore outside of the waiting room, so shouldnt you go there at least once? [ . ] and. You can look forward to it as a reference. I smiled brightly as I looked at the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, who seemed stiff and anxious without knowing why. [The God of Transcendence and Death raises expectations at the thought of training the two Apostles to the limit.] [ From now on, I will personally guide and train them by their side until both of them achieve a passing score.] Well, Iron Blood. The monarch and the White Crane Sword are not smiling at all, and on the contrary, they look somewhat anxious but they must be secretly happy at the thought of bing stronger with me over the next few days. maybe. Chapter 499 Episode 499. Revive(2) Dimension Hierarchy. This exploration space created by the Tower of Trials as a major expansion of the system is essentially different from one-off events such as the Giant Tree Labyrinth or Dimension Cradle. There was a high possibility that this was an official feature that would not disappear but would continue to be provided to challengers who had ascended to the upper levels of the Tower of Trials. Unlike the Giant Tree Labyrinth or Dimensional Cradle, the dimensionalyer has no time limit, and even if time passes and thest stage is cleared, it will not disappear. what. Although this is still just a guess, it is probably closer to the right answer than the wrong answer. In the first ce, isnt this a new path prepared by the Tower of Trials to help challengers who have reached the upper levels be stronger? If you think about what the Tower of Trials ultimately exists for, you can be sure that this is not a one-time event. Thats because the challenger who has climbed this far in the Tower of Trials has the potential to go beyond formal godhood and reach a higher level of godhood. There is a high possibility that challengers who have reached the upper levels of the Tower of Trials will consider it a high-purity jewel. One way or another, it is certain that someone who has climbed this far up the Tower of Trials is something extraordinary. Unlike the countless challengers who have died in vain while climbing the Tower of Trials, those who advance upward from now on will be treated aspletely elite. In other words, the reason the Tower of Trials provided a dimensional hierarchy for challengers in the upper tier was to provide an opportunity to be somewhat stronger without clearing the trials. However, it was a method that did not suit our tastes. No matter how well the Tower of Trials has created a space for exploration of the dimensional hierarchy, there is no way it will be of any help to me. It was only natural that he had acquired powerparable to that of the three ancient gods and was now on the verge of reaching transcendence. Isnt the very reason why the Tower of Trials created a dimensional hierarchy in the first ce to lower the probability of high-ranking challengers dying while clearing the trials? So, it was obvious that even if I wandered around the dimensional hierarchy without climbing the Tower of Trials, I wouldnt be able to get a very good reward. Because of that, I had originally nned to attract attention afterpleting a short exploration in the dimensionalyer created by the Tower of Trials but that was no longer the case. The story will be different when you consider that from now on, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman will have to focus on honing their strength. Regardless of the fact that this side cannot be stronger directly, it will be a great help in strengthening the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman. If you think about the fact that in the future, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman will be able to participate in battle in earnest as an apostle godhead, this is the same as indirectly making me stronger. Is that why? Grrrgh-! Somehow, as I opened the huge stone door leading to the outside of themon waiting room, I felt a strange sense of anticipation fill me. and. thud-! Next moment. [.] [Conditions met.] [Enter the Maze of Sorting and Choice on the first floor of the dimensional hierarchy.] In the blink of an eye, the space changed, and beyond my field of vision, andscape that I had seen once before unfolded. *** When I came out of the waiting room for the first time, I had only one impression of the dimensional hierarchy. Isnt this simr to the Giant Tree Labyrinth? For some reason, I felt like I had been here before. It wasnt even an illusion. Thats because, no matter where you look at it, the Maze of Selection and Choice on the first floor of the dimensional hierarchy resembles the beginning of the Giant Tree Labyrinth that was cleared long ago. Very tantly. ah. step. That too was only for a moment. Is it because he spent a very long time in the Tower of Trials? Now, I have a vague idea of what the dimensionalyeredndscape that resembles this giant treebyrinth means. Could it be that the Giant Tree Labyrinth itself was an event modeled after the dimensional hierarchy? Perhaps the Tower of Trials created the Giant Tree Labyrinth event itself into something backwardspatible, modeled after the dimensional hierarchy. Well, we can guess for various reasons as to why the Giant Tree Labyrinth was created by imitating the dimensional hierarchy From this perspective, the Tower of Trials was created using the Giant Tree Labyrinth as a foundation for the dimensional hierarchy. I thought it was just that. If I were to be specific, I think it could be said to be a type ofpliance assistance work. Did you do some preliminary work to make it easier to adapt to the dimensional hierarchy through the event called the Giant Tree Labyrinth? In other words, assuming that this guess is correct, this dimensionalyer is a ce where theponents of the Giant Tree Labyrinth arepatible at higher levels. Thats not bad. If that wasnt wrong, there was probably a lot to be gained in this dimensionalyer, just like in the Giant Tree Labyrinth. It seems like it would be the perfect ce to practice to hone the power of the concept of divinity possessed by higher-ranking gods Then, with a light smile on my face, I looked back and spoke to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. I think I can teach you the basics of being a high-ranking god more clearly than I thought. But Arent you d? [ . ] Why? No matter what story is told to him, not only the Iron Blood Lord but also the White Crane Swordsman, he just keeps his mouth shut and does not hide his anxiety. I dont know why, but unlike before, where the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword talked a lot and showed various emotional expressions without hesitation, they remained silent. At first nce, it looks like livestock being taken to a ughterhouse. [The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, answers with a faint sigh with lifeless eyes.] [ Aha. Thats something to look forward to. I can receive teachings from an ancient deity like you. happy. really. ] [Baek Hak-seon Baek Seol-hwa looks at you and trembles in fear.] [ That. Seongyoon Im asking just in case, but youre not trying to train us in the same way as Seongyoon, right? Right? ] ? I felt puzzled when I saw the Lord of Iron Blood, who seemed to have lost hope somewhere, and the fearful eyes of the White Crane Swordsman. Thats strange. But that too for a moment. well. Im not sure what the same method of training you are talking about is, but it is an efficient way to be stronger. As I casually answered Baekhakgeomseons question, she also drooped her shoulders like the Lord of Iron Blood. [Baek Seol-hwa, a white crane swordsman, listens to your answer and nods her head thoughtfully.] [ Ah I see Its an efficient way to be stronger. Thats good. I am prepared. I have the confidence to endure it like Seongyoon. ] ? Then, I realized that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman were misunderstanding something. Ah Well, I think I know what you two are worried about. You dont need to worry too much. [ ? ] Perhaps you both misunderstand something because I have be stronger through repeated fierce battles where life and death are at stake I have no intention of doing so. [ ! ] Isnt that just a misunderstanding between the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman? If you thought that I was going to force you two into danger to be stronger, you were definitely mistaken. Now I could understand why the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman were so limp. Even if its not true, isnt it reminiscent of the story, A lion only raises cubs that climb up after throwing their own children off a cliff? I had no intention of providing such Spartan education. obviously. Common sense tells me that there is no way I would drive the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman to their deaths. [ Huhuhuhu! W Of course! I thought you would say that. No matter how much Seongyoon did, I didnt think he would make us stronger like that ] Of course he wont really die. You can put aside your fear of death because I will push you just to the point of death. [ . ] Rest assured. Is it because he clearly dered that he would never really die? Baekhakgeomseon no longer trembled with anxiety and did not continue to ask questions out of fear. I just keep walking forward silently, keeping some distance away from where Im standing. But [Baek Hak-seon Baek Seol-hwa feels betrayed and gives you a look of resentment.] [ Thank you. So that I dont have to worry. Thanks to Seongyoon, I can now feel at ease. really. ] Is it an illusion if, contrary to his words of gratitude, Baekhakgeomseons voice seems to have be as cold as ice? *** Discord almost broke out due to a slight misunderstanding(?), but in the end, everything seemed to have ended well. The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman sighed a few times and then helped to explore various parts of the dimensional hierarchy, as if the misunderstanding had been resolved. Well, actually, even if it was an exploration, there was nothing particrly difficult about it because all you had to do was walk around with the energy of divinity and mana spread out. In the process, I also made some small gains. [Cursed Ne of Rain and Lightning] [Grade: SS-] [.] [Sword of Blood] [Grade: S+] [.] [Steel Gloves of an Unknown God] [Grade: S-] [.] and. [The achievement Treasure Hunter has been achieved.] [Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met.] [The level of reward obtained through the achievement increases.] [All stats increase by 4 ] It feels like Im ying a mini game. Before I knew it, I was able to wander around the maze of sorting and selection on the first floor of the dimensional hierarchy and obtain all kinds of hidden items. However I wasnt very happy even though I went to all sorts of ces and found items hidden in ces I couldnt normally find. Anyway, these items are just below the standard for use here. For some reason, it feels like there are fewer challengers in the dimensionalyer than I thought Moreover, it seems that the challengers are not yet interested in the dimensionalyer prepared by the Tower of Trials, so even after walking around for nearly an hour, I did not encounter any challengers in particr. Didnt hit. Well, if we wanted to, we could go out of our way to find some challengers wandering around in the distance but since there was no particr reason to do so, we focused on getting all the high-grade items. However, since I was unable to achieve my essential purpose, I was left with a deep sense of regret. Unlike in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, there are almost no enemies to fight in the dimensionalyer. Its no different I dont know why, but unlike the Giant Tree Labyrinth, not a single enemy appeared in the dimensionalyer. At best, all that could be done was to travel around the dimensional hierarchy and collect items. Originally, he came here to experience actualbat so that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman could be stronger, but since there was no enemy worth fighting, he felt like he was losing money. Is it because we are still at the beginning of the dimensional hierarchy? Maybe I should go higher. The moment he concluded that there was no reason to stay here anymore and entered the huge room located in the deepest part of the maze to move on to the next floor. Deddude-! System messages appeared before my eyes, conveying good news. [You have reached the deepest part of the Maze of Sorting and Choice on the first floor of the dimensional hierarchy.] [When you ce items above a certain level on the altar of divinity, multiple higher-level gods will appear.] [To go up to the next floor, you must need divinity . You must be chosen by at least two of the higher deities that appear on the altar.] It is none other than Huh? That means only one thing. Just by cing items on the altar of divinity, you can summon higher deities? In short, it meant that he could summon punching bags for the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman. [The god of transcendence and deathughs darkly.] [Thats good.] Thats a lot. Chapter 500 500. Revitalization (3) [You have reached the deepest part of the Maze of Sorting and Choice on the first floor of the dimensional hierarchy.] [When you ce items above a certain level on the altar of divinity, multiple higher-level gods will appear.] [Next In order to go up to the next floor, you must be chosen by at least two of the higher deities that appear on the altar of divinity.] This For some reason, a smile forms on my face as I look at the system messages in my field of vision. Thats awesome. Isnt that right? It is now possible to summon multiple higher-level gods just by cing items on the altar of divinity. Since I didnt encounter a single enemy on the way here, I thought it would be harder to find a practice partner for the Lord of the Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman than I thought but it wasnt. I thought the level of enemies prepared by the Tower of Trials in the dimensional hierarchy would be at most pseudo-gods, but no matter how strong they were, they would be at the level of full-on deities, but this was surprising. no. Wouldnt it be closer to the opposite? This is because it is now possible to summon a faster and more powerful enemy than previously assumed. Well, considering the power of the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman, I think a high-level god-level practice partner would be just the right level. Originally, this side was nning to find an enemy with official god status or equivalent power and match them as practice targets so that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman could be stronger. I thought it would be appropriate to teach the two administrators who were given the divine and the divine how to use the divine supernormal abilities. Otherwise, it is unlikely that the Tower of Trials would have ced enemies with powers beyond that of quasi-gods or formal deities in the dimensional hierarchy. Well, looking at the results, it was a clear misjudgment that there would be no enemies at the level of a high god, but it wasnt a bad thing. To be honest, even if there are several higher-level gods, I think that if the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman do their best, they will be at least equal. no. If we really had to ask, should we say the opposite? Perhaps, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman had spent a long time as administrators, so their sense of battle had be quite rusty. Taking that into ount, both of them needed to experience fierce battles against strong opponents at least once, so facing off against multiple high-ranking gods was certain to be of great help in their growth. Perhaps I can teach them both the basics of being a high-ranking god much faster than expected. And. [I break into a cold sweat as I sense the ominous look of the Iron Blood Lord Canary Rugfeld.] [What? no. What on earth is this that it is possible to summon not one, but many higher godheads? ] [Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, looks at you and expresses earnestness.] [ Seongyun. I dont think Im feeling well today Oh, can we stop here for today and go back to the waiting room? ] its okay. Before I knew it, the two managers also seemed to have the same thoughts as me and said that, showing tension and anxiety. I promise. Because I will never let anyone die. Dont worry, you can fight with peace of mind. [ . ] However, when this person once again assured that neither of them would die, they both closed their mouths and remained silent, just like before. ah. I will be the one to summon the higher gods to the Altar of Divinity. Until then, it would be best to prepare your mind. After seeing that, I said this to the two managers and then walked towards the ce where the sacred altar was set up. Jump and jump. The Divine Altar was located in the center of a huge stone chamber, and it did not look ordinary even from the outside. Considering that the Giant Tree Labyrinth was also designed to enable one to obtain Gods grace, is this also one of the parts connected to the Giant Tree Labyrinth? The altar of divinity was glowing with various colors, with divine power presumed to belong to a higher deity intertwined like a ball of thread. Perhaps, when items are ced on top of this ce, some sort of signal goes to the higher deities connected to the Divine Altar, and through that, the higher deities appear Suddenly, looking at it, I realized one thing. Is that why? I btedly understood what purpose the Tower of Trials had in creating the dimensionalyer. There were no living enemies anywhere in the dimensional hierarchy, and only hidden items could be farmed. It wasnt something that was particrly difficult to understand. Was it because the firstyer of the dimensional hierarchy itself was a preparation process for offering tribute to the higher gods? The Tower of Trials was designed as the firstyer of the dimensional hierarchy as a ce to obtain items to ce on this Altar of Divinity. If you think about it, there may be pros and cons depending on what you offer on the altar of divinity. Just as one could receive Gods grace in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, I think the dimensional hierarchy was also designed so that one could receive Gods power one by one. However, unlike the average challenger, I am not at all interested in the power of higher deities. Its poetry. As a result, my interest in the Altar of Divinity plummeted, so I opened my inventory and ced the lowest level items in a pile. Tudduduk-! When items of a certain level or higher are ced on the altar of divinity, multiple higher-level deities appear. what. The system message earlier said that when items above a certain level are ced, a number of higher-level gods will appear From this point of view, it seems that higher-level gods will appear even if no top-level items are ced on the altar of divinity. The sacred altar is a device that sends a signal to the higher gods as soon as the offering is offered, so even if you do this, the higher gods should appear. Of course, summoning higher deities in that way wasnt a good choice. In the worst case, you could be killed by multiple high-ranking gods or receive some kind of penalty. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to climb the dimensional hierarchy, so it is not a good thing for the challenger in any way. [.] [Conditions satisfied.] [The offerings offered on the altar of divinity include God of floods, God of basins, God of painters, God of redemption, God of smelting, God of the other side. This reacts.] Gooooo-! [The God of Water and Sea is very angry when he sees the offerings ced on the Altar of Divinity.] [The God of Watersheds is angry when he sees the offerings ced on the Altar of Divinity] [The God of Fire is very angry at the offerings ced on the Altar of Divinity. He sees it and reveals his murderous intent.] [.] Is that why? In the blink of an eye, the higher-ranking gods who received signals from the divine altar ran wild and sent out system messages. Well, the items they ced on the altar of divinity were just trash they picked up along the way, so it was natural for them to react like that. [The God of Water and Sea decides to appear at the Altar of Divinity.] [The God of Water Basin decides to appear at the Altar of Divinity.] [The God of Fire and Marine decides to appear at the Altar of Divinity.] [.] System messages appeared non-stop before my eyes, informing me of the gods decision to appear. God of floods, God of basins, God of painters, God of redemption, God of smelting, God of the other side. Soon, the six higher gods will appear on the altar of divinity. There is a high possibility that this person is angry at the garbage items ced on the altar of divinity and ising to directly retaliate. However, I wasnt too worried. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! [The god of floods appears extremely angry at the being who offered the trash as an offering.] [Who is it!! this! A person who offered trash like this as an offering to the god of floods!! Ill kill you!! ] [The basin god is irritated and looks for the being who offered tribute to him.] [Where is it? Who is the guy who tried to call me out as a piece of trash? Youd better crawl out quickly. ] [The God of Fine Arts expresses intense murderous intent at the fact that he was ridiculed by mortals.] [This! How dare you mock this worm-like mortal! I will definitely make you pay for that! ] Isnt that right? [The God of Floods is furious and gnashes his teeth.] [Now,e out here!! I am guilty of insulting the god of floods!! I will make you pay for it!! [Let theme out] At best, higher-ranking gods who havent even be ancient gods are beings that can be easily crushed to death even if they gather in numbers close to hundreds or thousands. widely-. Thats fun. and. [The God of Transcendence and Deathughs as he looks at the higher gods who have appeared on the altar of divinity.] [Sin? Are you saying you will make me pay the price? You to me? Thats not bad. ] The moment when I stood in front of the altar of divinity and openly revealed my status as divinity and soul. [The god of transcendence and death looks at the higher gods with a straight face.] [You can try it. ] [ !! ] Did the three higher deities who appeared on the altar of divinity also reveal their divinity and soul status, so did they feel fear, albeit btedly? Swish-! Next moment. The three higher-ranking gods all simultaneously became frightened and took a step back, without any regard for who was first. And very quickly. Even the wall of the stone room where the sacred altar was ced retreated as if frightened, and his body trembled like a frightened small animal. It almost makes me wonder if the three higher-ranking gods were lying when they told me that they would definitely kill me, expressing their murderous intent and hostility. When I saw that, I smiled and opened my mouth again. What are you doing? Didnt you guys just a moment ago say you were going to kill me or something? Thats strange. [ . ] try. You guys said you were confident, right? I dont understand why he suddenly keeps his mouth shut now. do not do that. [ . ] Its not fun. The moment I walked out to the front with a grin on my face and tried to have a good chat with the three higher-ranking gods. [The god of redemption appears at the altar of divinity.] [The god of refining appears at the altar of divinity.] [The god behind it appears at the altar of divinity.] [.] A bit bted. Although it is hard to feel, the rest of the higher-ranking gods have fully manifested themselves on the altar of divinity. [The God of Redemption roars, his eyes shining with murderous intent.] [Where are you!! this! You bastard!! Ill tear your limbs off! ] [The God of Refining clenches his teeth and radiates malice in all directions.] [ Bastard. How dare you offer such a poor offering to the god of smelting. You should be able to exin why you pulled a prank like this. ] [The god behind the scenes is delighted at the thought of tearing to death the beings who offered tribute to him.] [Kyahahaha!! Yes, sometimes things like this have to happen!! Where is the guy who gave me these trashy tributes? I will y with it slowly for a long time so that it does not die] Just like the higher-ranking gods that appeared on the altar of divinity earlier, it appeared with a deration that it would tear this ce to death. [ . ] step. There was one difference. Unlike the three higher-ranking gods who had previously appeared on the altar of divinity, the higher-ranking gods who had just finished manifesting btedly were able to grasp the situation quickly. [The god behind the scenes smiles awkwardly and walks away as if nothing happened.] [Kyahaha I think Im in the wrong ce Can I go? ] [The god of smelting is sweating like crazy and rolling his eyes back and forth.] [Hehehe I wonder why someone offered up such precious divine objects as an offering. I guess I took the wrong route too. ] [The God of Redemptionughs empty-handedly and naturally tries to leave the ce.] [Hahaha. Excuse me. I guess I came to the wrong ce too. The women in the back seem to be apostles of a great being I hope you have a good time. Well then, Ill just go- ] Dan. Where are you going? [ . ] Enough of the nonsense and all of you,e in front of me. [ that. I think there is a misunderstanding. We seem to have taken the wrong path] When I saw that, I smiled lightly and gathered together the high-ranking gods who were trying to quietly leave. no. Is it true that I called you guys? It would be better toe here and not think about anything else. [ . ] I have no intention of killing anyone yet [ . ] If even one of you runs away, I will change my mind from then on. That means only one thing. [I feel satisfied seeing the sandbags of the gods of transcendence and death gathered together in harmony.] [Understand?] From now on, these higher-ranking gods are literally perfect test subjects who cannot escape anywhere. Chapter 501 501. Reviving (4) Silence. A suffocating, brutal silence fills the hall. Among the higher-ranking gods, none of them could open their mouths and their bodies were trembling and sweating non-stop. I watched it with an expressionless expression and slowly opened my mouth. I should have made it clear? [ . ] I think I told you toe to the front without a single one of you being left out. [That] There is a limit to listening to pointless excuses or babble like that. In response, I looked at the six higher gods and warned them in a cold voice. I dont think it would be good for you guys toe here as soon as possible and kneel quietly instead of trying to make a fuss. [ . ] Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!! [The god of transcendence and death shines coolly in his eyes, radiating the quality of divinity and soul.] [Because Im on the verge of running out of patience. ] Suddenly, as I lightly revealed my status as an ancient god, the faces of the higher-ranking gods turned pale. By gaining powerparable to that of the three ancient gods, the status of divinity and soul has advanced to a higher level. In the eyes of higher deities, the level of divinity and soul that this side possessed would have made them realize the difference in power between humans and ants or closer to that. Is that why? [The sacred is used and the free action of all living things within a 200m radius is temporarily prohibited.] p! ? Perhaps because this side openly revealed the status of divinity and soul, it seemed to have made the higher deities feel a greater sense of crisis than expected. Suddenly, the God of Redemption, one of the higher deities, activated the concept of divinity, which is the basis of the deity, and tied me up with chains made of divinity and attempted to escape. The God of Redemption cried out as if his throat would be torn apart and rushed towards the exit of the stone chamber without even looking back. Tadadat-! [The God of Redemption screams and wants to escape from this horrible ce.] [ Uaaaaaa!! This, this, this is not possible!! No!! I need to get out of here!! I have to run away too ] But. [The Transcendence Myth is activated.] [From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoons movements will be affected by the sacred effect of .] [When activating the Holy , the speed of Superlight may vary depending on the users capabilities. You can perform movements that reach .] [? This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.] [ From now on, the divine effect of will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.] [What is the situation? Even if it is a condition, it bes possible to forcibly activate a specific ability.] [ However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the closer the situation and conditions are, the greater the recoil from use of the effect.] [? The effect is effective immediately after activation . [You will have to pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.] That too was only for a moment. Swish-! [The God of Transcendence and Deathughs at the trivial struggle.] [I told you, right? me. Im about to run out of patience. There is no next chance. ] The moment when I appeared before the God of Redemption without any particr concern, using the divine effect Force of the Transcendent Myth . [Sacred are used.] [Sacred power can be consumed to influence the real world with words.] [However, words that interfere with thews of the world consume a lot of sacred power.] Die. As the sacred was activated here, the spiritual speech made up of divine power echoed everywhere, and the body of the God of Redemption swelled like a balloon and finally burst. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! flurry? There was nothing like that. The God of Redemption simply inted like a balloon filled with air and then burst and died without even leaving a single word. Patter! The God of Redemption explodes and dies, and drops of blood, scattered throughout the stone chamber, pour down heavily as if they were hail. Its not cool. [ . ] And at the same time, I sighed as if I was pitiful, and at the same time, the higher-ranking gods standing on the other side of the stone room silently expressed shock as if they were shocked. I think Ive shown enough of an example with this Jump, bump, bump -. how is it? What do you think? I guess it was quite appropriate for an example? Or And [The God of Transcendence and Death speaks in a whisper while looking at the terrified higher gods.] [Do I have to show them what happens when I run out of patience? ] At this point, have the higher-ranking gods in front of me finished understanding the situation? Slurp, flutter, flutter! [Please save me. Please have mercy on us. Let me beg you here. Please just take a look. ] [ We will no longer go against the wishes of the Great One. Please take away your anger. ] [ Say anything! Great One! I will make sure to follow those solemn words unconditionally! Please forgive our rudeness! ] In an instant, the high-ranking gods quickly crawled out in front of the altar of divinity and bowed their heads on the stone floor. Pisik-. Satisfied. *** As I climbed the Tower of Trials, did I discover a new aptitude that I didnt even know about? Perhaps thanks to the mental treatment know-how he has umted while making countless martial people good(?), he has now been able topletely eliminate even the anger management disorders of higher-ranking gods. When I first appeared on the altar of divinity, I felt proud to see those who had been expressing anger and murderousness be such docile sheep. After all, physical therapy is the best way to cure anger management disorders, whether for high-ranking gods or martial people. Then, with a light smile on my face, I slowly looked at the higher-ranking gods. Just a moment ago, it seemed as if it would not only kill me painfully but also exterminate my rtives, but now it was not like that at all. The only thing they seem to be very concerned about is what kind of words this person will say and whether the other persons feelings will get worse. Now, a good structure for talking to each other has been established. The number of high-ranking gods had to be reduced from six to five Isnt that a particrly bad thing? You can think of it as poption control. Among the God of Floods, God of Basin, God of Painters, God of Redemption, God of Refining and God of the Other Side summoned to the altar of divinity, the God of Redemption died, but there was no problem. In any case, having six high-ranking gods could be a bit overwhelming for the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, so a bnce patch was needed. Then, I sat downfortably on the sacred altar, tilted my head, and opened my mouth. First of all, before I exin what you guys need to do, I want to ask you one thing. Ill ask that first and then move on. [ Yes yes! Oh, you can ask as much as you want! It is an honor for us to be able to give something back to this great man. Hahaha. ] You guys. If you are a high-level god, you probably have a vague idea of what the Tower of Trials is for. Why did you make a contract with the Tower of Trials like this? [For us, it has more pros and cons. I know that the Tower of Trials is negative for the existence of Godhead. But even so, what can the Tower of Trials do? ] . I was dumbfounded and listened quietly to what he was saying. [The God of Refining feels great fear towards you and barely continues speaking.] [The Tower of Trials has been doing a lot of business with high-ranking gods and formal gods since ancient times. This too is just an extension of that. ] [ So far, no one knows how many deals the Tower of Trials has made with the gods. To that extent, transactions between the Tower of Trials and the gods are no different from everyday life. ] [ If you trade with the Tower of Trials, you can obtain a considerable amount of causality, and if you are lucky, you can also increase the hierarchy of divinity by one level. Its more of a benefit than a disadvantage. ] And then another higher godhead next to him continued his exnation. [The god behind you is afraid of your overwhelming power and gives an answer with a sheepish smile.] [Kyahaha The Tower of Trials has wanted to eliminate the existence of gods by making deals with them since ancient times. What is the actual result? Nothing happened, right? Hehehe. ] [ Many people believe that because of this, those who do not trade with the Tower of Trials are being eliminated. You can get a lot when trading with the Tower of Trials. ] [ also. Sometimes, if we are lucky among the challengers raised by the Tower of Trials, we can make a failed apostle an official apostle, so it would be good for us to get a high-quality apostle. ] Was the story of the Tower of Trials making a deal with the gods a much older story than we thought? [The God of the Basin nces at you, notices you, and slowly opens his mouth.] [There is a rumor that the Tower of Trials has created a testing ground on aary basis through contracts rather than deals and is forcing the hierarchy of divinity. I heard that they also experimented with raising it to . ] [ Well, its probably not true anyway, but there is also a rumor that in the distant past, the Tower of Trials seeded in creating an ancient deity. ] [ Recently, there has been talk of an attempt to artificially create ancient deities like they did in the distant past by modifying a itself to create something called the Battlefield of the Gods I dont know if its true or not ] Thats enough. . I frowned and waved my hands as I listened to the exnation secretly added by the god of the basin. With that, the higher-ranking gods closed their mouths and silence came again. But apart from that, I learned a lot from what they said. Was it ultimately a matter of some kind of insensitivity to safety that led to a deal between a high-ranking deity or a formal deity with the Tower of Trials? I now understand why people such as higher-level gods or formal gods keep making deals with the Tower of Trials, which wants to eliminate the very existence of gods. In the end, the Tower of Trials must have reached the unfounded conclusion, as always, that it is impossible to actually eliminate the existence of God. However, considering that the Tower of Trials ultimately seeded in raising a me who can even eliminate the immortality of the ancient godhead, it is a foolish idea. Isnt there a recent attempt by the Tower of Trials to artificially create an ancient deity since Battlefield of the Gods? what. Wasnt it I who told the Tower of Trials that it was impossible to create an ancient deity that suited ones tastes in the Battlefield of the Gods? Even if we tried to imitate this divinity, , we knew that there would be an unbridgeable difference between the original and the copy, so we will no longer try to artificially create an ancient divinity. At least for the time being. Its good information that the Tower of Trials can partially dilute the causality restrictions through transactions or contracts. I knew that perhaps the Tower of Trials could ask the ancient gods in the pantheon to subdue me through a deal or contract. I knew it. Even those who are only high-ranking gods know quite a lot because they have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. It was good to hear your story. step. Arent they preparing for this by assuming that not only the Tower of Trials, but also the Pantheon, and the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness are their enemies? Even if the final battle begins as time passes, many things will change depending on how you prepare from now on. widely-! Well, now that the story is over, lets get started. [ yes? You mean the beginning of a poem? I dont know what were starting Is there something we need to do? ] ah. I guess I forgot to tell you. Well, its not such a bad thing for you guys. [? ] Its simple. Just like that, I turned my head and looked at the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman standing beyond, and said with a grin. All you can do is fight with all your might until the two apostles over there die. [ . ] And. [The gods of transcendence and death are happy, looking forward to seeing the two apostles be stronger by beating the punching bags.] [ Ah -. For your information, I will make an example of the guy who ignores what I said and doesnt fight with all his might, just like before, so I expect that.] The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. Depending on how you train these two managers, you will know how to deal with the powerful enemies you will encounter in the future. Thats because from now on, these two administrators will be my secret weapons for the final battle as Goddess Apostles. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
