Boundless Necromancer

189. Crusade (1)

「After absorbing a spirit stronger than the user, the judgment of power extraction begins.」

Power extraction began as soon as the spirit that flowed from the replica copied from the mirror was absorbed.

It was worth it.

It’s a powerful enemy that has transferred my level as it was when I arrived at the Earth dimension…

Even though I lacked personal skills because I couldn’t replicate the divinity, the replica was clearly stronger than the current me.

So, it was only natural that power extraction would occur.

Even power extraction was more so because it was greatly influenced by the number of skills and powers rather than skill.

With a throbbing heart, even for a moment, I expected what kind of authority would be extracted.

That would also be the case…

‘If I acquire overlapping powers, won’t my grade go up?’

The powers that will be extracted from the replica will overlap with my powers to some extent.

「Judgment successful.」 So, I

wondered if it would be possible to gain new benefits

by acquiring authority repeatedly…

I will extract it.”

As the authority was extracted, I could only lick my lips.

「The authority ‘Sunbo (B+)’ is imprinted in the soul of the user Han Seong-yoon.」

This is because an authority that cannot be acquired repeatedly has been created.

I was disappointed with that, but that doesn’t mean I got a bad power.

Shunbo is the power to move short distances so quickly that you can’t see them.

It is a power with a cooldown, but if used well, it can turn the tide of battle even in an unfavorable battle.

Replica used Shunbo strangely and was defeated

in a foolish way.

In the first place, it was because the replica’s skills had deteriorated without knowing why.

It’s a story that doesn’t work for me.

As I was trying to erase my regrets and feeling satisfied, a message suddenly came to my mind.

“Challenger Han Seong-yoon handles the [duplicated challenger] and the ordeal ends.”

It was a phrase indicating that the joint ordeal on the 6th floor was over.

“The contribution is calculated.”

And…

“The ranking is determined according to the contribution.

”

「1st place: [Challenger Han Seong-yoon] ─ [affiliation dimension: Earth] ─ [contribution: 80.41%]」 「2nd place:

[Challenger Lee Jin-kyung] ─ [affiliation dimension: Moorim] ─ [contribution: 7.12%]」

「3rd place: [Challenger Wijihak] ─ [affiliation dimension: Moorim] ─ [contribution: 3.78%]”

「4th place: [Challenger Yujeong Gu] ─ [affiliation dimension: Murim] ─ [contribution: 1.11%]」

「5th place: [Challenger] Yoo Ji-moo] ─ [affiliation dimension: Moorim] ─ [contribution….]

「6th place: [Challenger Baek Seo-gwang] ─ [affiliation dimension: nothing….」

「7th place: [Challenger Seok Moo-kwon] ─ [affiliation] The car…”

The ranking notice was unnecessarily long, but there was one thing worth paying attention to.

“The challenger’s team that achieves 10% contribution gets the right to go down to the 7th floor.”

At least my team was able to go downstairs.

However, the challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension did not easily acknowledge the result.

“…I can not admit it. Something is obviously wrong with this. Otherwise, this is—”

“Damn it! Why!? Explain why that damned savage is better than this body! hurry!”

“You are talking bullshit! Does it make sense to decide the ranking by the number of spoons placed on a fully prepared table!?”

The surviving challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension shouted with a sense of inferiority.

“…”

At this point, I had nothing to say.

‘Isn’t it true that Moorim people are equipped with mental illness passively?’

Can’t you remember that you tried to get away from the fight without losing your fighting spirit?

To be honest, I wanted to kill everyone out of this place without saying anything, but…

there was no need to do that.

「The god of proof is angry with the challengers who do not accept the result.」

Because the deity who controls the 6th floor [Cradle of Proof] has revealed its presence.

“The God of Proof imposes sanctions on challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension.”

That too…

“Those who fail to prove will pay the price by the Shinhwa < Judge of Proof >.” In

the form of activating a myth that has never been seen before .

***

It was the first time.

To see the sight of another god invoking a myth.

Until now, I thought that other gods might not be able to write myths.

That’s right…

because no other deity has ever mentioned or used mythology.

But that was just a huge miscalculation.

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Whose eyes! My eyes exploded…! I will pay the price, so please someone treat me…!”

“No nonsense! My energy is disappearing!? Stop that! I will accept the results, so stop…! Wow!”

“… what the hell is this? No sound! What the hell have you done to this body!”

Deity could also use mythology.

I was able to recognize that fact by looking at the challengers belonging to the Moorim dimension.

Some lost both their eyes, some lost their hearing, and some returned all their mana to nature.

“Is this the myth of the God of Proof…?”

I admired.

I never thought I would treat the challengers so harshly just because I complained a little bit…

“The God of Proof is finally smiling at me, saying

that I’ve gotten a little better. ”

But that feeling was only short-lived.

‘It’s interesting.’

This is because the interest was focused on the mythology that the godhead deals with.

‘Is it a myth that can be used conditionally?’

Perhaps the myth of < Judge of Proof > used by the God of Proof is an ability that can be used when certain conditions are met.

Myths are created based on folk tales and beliefs.

Wouldn’t it be possible to activate < Judge of Proof > on those who failed the proof?

Among the myths, there is also a myth called < The Vampire Exorcist > who becomes strong against demons… It

must be a correct guess.

However, after knowing the interesting part, somehow I got goosebumps.

‘If I made a mistake in the trial on the 11th floor before, wouldn’t it be possible for this to happen…?’

If I had made a mistake before, it could have been me, not them, who would suffer.

Of course, it was a meaningless assumption.

I’ve never made a mistake, and I’ve never failed a proof.

It was the time when he was hoping that the god of proof would finish the sanctions quickly with his eyes narrowed.

“Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute?”

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a sword approached and said so.

One of the team members interrupted the middle-aged man as he raised his guard against suspicious movements.

“I don’t know who it is, but I hope you don’t approach your colleagues any more.”

It was Kim Seung-hoon.

Maybe it was because he bought time to receive buffs while dealing with replicas, but he looked quite tired… which

was unexpected.

Even though I was tired from the battle, I didn’t know that Kim Seung-hoon would be so worried.

The other colleagues are in a situation where they can’t come out of it because of the barrier created by the Guardian skill…

‘I think the other team members would have done this if they had been able to come out of the barrier.’

I guess I thought that they would have protected me like Seunghun Kim.

‘But is a colleague a colleague

?

“Ah, I think you misunderstood, but I didn’t mean to harm you.”

I was slightly moved, but there was no time to savor it.

“It’s just…”

The middle-aged man with the sword continued with a smile.

“I was just trying to say thank you for giving this old man a lifesaving gift.”

To put it in a word, it seems that he was grateful for being blessed….

“It was great. I think it’s a witty swordsmanship that shows traces of training for a long time.”

I didn’t believe all of that.

It was worth it.

‘If I really wanted to say thank you, I wouldn’t have teased my tongue like this.’

Looking at the face that thoroughly protects the poker face, it’s not like he’s trying to pay grace.

Then, it means that I have something to say personally, but it wasn’t very pleasant.

None of the Moorim people I had come across had been decent enough.

‘Either he intends to harm me or he must have something to gain from me.’

I just doubt that this middle-aged man is trying to make some kind of profit through me.

In fact…

―I didn’t expect to see the sword of the Shingeombaekga (神劍白家) from a warrior from another dimension.

Suspicion was accelerated by even using the whole tone so that Kim Seung-hun could not hear the sound of speech.

It was all the more so because the words that the middle-aged man sent out through the whole tone were unexpected.

‘Well, I think it’s good that Kim Seung-hun doesn’t get involved in many ways.’

Are you a new swordsman?

It’s a name I’ve never heard of.

However, the middle-aged person conveyed the whole tone of the New Sword Baekga while giving strength to that part.

As if he had an intention to get information from me.

But…

―This is the first time I’ve heard of the name Shingeombaekga.

Shingeombaekga is a family name that I have never heard of.

That was certain.

-Really?

-That’s right. And I wonder why you ask me that.

―Ah, this old man is called Seolmaegom Lee Jin-gyeong. He’s an elder belonging to the Volcano Sect

.

Seolmaegom Lee Jin-kyung or the Volcano Sect elder could not be understood anyway.

Previously, Damcheonwu, who dwells in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, gave a rough explanation of the background knowledge about other dimensions

.

The middle-aged man, perhaps noticing that, quickly moved on to the main topic.

―…The Volcano faction has benefited from the Shingeombaekga in the past. So I was wondering if you are a descendant of the Shingeombaekga.

―No, so why did you think I was a descendant of the Shingeombaek family?

―…Is that where you started? I thought there was no need to explain it, but I guess not.

and.

―That’s right, you used the Seven Swords Seven.

In the words that followed, I was finally able to understand.

‘I’m going crazy…’

What this middle-aged man is saying is…

‘I can’t believe this will continue like this.’

It was referring to the family of my manager, Baekhak Geomseon.

***

It was a really out of the blue situation.

I was waiting for the Murim people to be expelled after the ordeal was over….

Suddenly, a story came out about the family that was presumed to be the monk of Baekhak Geomseon.

It was something I had never thought of before, so it became even more complicated in my head, but I was not given time to have a long conversation.

That would also be the case…

“The proof god has finished sanctioning.”

It’s because the god of proof, having finished the judgment, has begun expelling the challengers.

「The God of Proof will expel all challengers with less than 10% contribution from the giant tree labyrinth.」

After that message, those who were presumed to be from the Moorim dimension were enveloped in green light.

It was the same with a man named Lee Jin-gyeong, who introduced himself as an elder of the Volcanic Sect.

―I guess we should talk later.

He licked his lips with a somewhat regretful face, then opened his mouth.

―Anyway, you are a descendant of the Shingeombaek family, so someday you will have to settle the grievances of the past.

It was a difficult sound to hear.

But I could guess what he meant.

―If you happen to be in the Moorim dimension, find Lee Jin-gyeong of the Volcano Wave.

Seeing that Eun-won is talking about something, it seems that it is probably related to the white crane inspection….

―Since we can talk more deeply about this at that time.

At least for now, I thought about it like this without thinking too deeply.

“Challengers with less than 10% contribution were completely expelled.”

Later on, the reasons to go to Moorim increased again.

“Because you have qualified to go down the [Cradle of Proof] on the 6th floor of the giant tree labyrinth, you will receive a

reward.

”

‘I’ll be arriving at the final floor of the labyrinth soon.’

It was my intention to see the end of this event as soon as possible and return to the tower.
