Boundless Necromancer

219. Climber (2)

「You have absorbed the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the

god of usurpation, and have satisfied the special conditions.” There is.」

「Currently, the potential divinity that can be acquired is < Usurpation > < Destruction > < Rule > < Activation >.」 「

※At this time, the uneven potential divinity will not appear as an option later.

」 The message that divinity can be acquired immediately came to mind.

But it wasn’t that surprising.

I had already killed three incarnate bodies in the giant tree labyrinth and collected the pieces of the dead spirit.

Unlike that time, it’s not the way to collect the spirit fragments and obtain divinity…

“It goes as I thought.”

Still, I was sure I could take away the usurper’s divinity.

It was worth it.

Necromancy has brought the power of countless people to this day.

Even if it is a divinity.

So this time as well, I thought that since I had obtained the command, I would be able to acquire divinity.

―…Divinity can be obtained by killing the incarnation of a godhead, and divinity can be obtained by killing a godhead?

However, Dam Chun-wu responded that he was dumbfounded.

―Really, what kind of power is this…

“Didn’t the ancient gods say that? I am the candidate chosen by the top. That’s why you got this power.”

―….

“There is a high probability that necromancy is something like an elite course arranged by the Tower.”

I was aware to some extent.

That necromancy was not a power that was originally latent in me.

In fact, there was no room for manifestation of something like a unique characteristic, and it was just something the Tower forcibly gave it to me.

Although I may have a talent for combat, my systemic talent converges to zero.

“I got a message before entering the tower.”

I don’t know why, but there was a time when the top looked at me and praised me.

Even before entering the tower.

At the time, I didn’t know what it was, so I passed it roughly beyond my consciousness.

I could definitely notice it now.

“From the beginning, the tower has raised me as a candidate.”

Necromancy is the power given by the tower, and this was the route that led to the annihilation of divine beings.

The power to obtain that divinity by killing this godhead must also be that the tower is trying to lure me in order to achieve its own goals.

Maybe there were several more abilities like this necromancy.

The tower has so far selected a lot of candidates, so there must be a challenger like me who can achieve an absurd growth rate.

“I’m sure you’ll run into a lot of other candidates as you climb the tower.”

I had heard of it from the Iron Blood Lord before.

As you climb the tower, the ordeal of encountering challengers from another dimension is created.

Now that the ordeal on the 18th floor has also come to an end, that point is not too far away.

Therefore, you may now meet ‘another candidate’ chosen by the tower.

―…I thought he would have figured it out on his own. You guys are surprisingly deep in thought.

Dam Chun-wu admired him, but I reacted indifferently.

“Otherwise, we cannot survive.”

It was just that he didn’t need to think too deeply as he got the power faster than he thought.

It was not difficult to guess the information by combining the clues floating in my head.

I smiled as I looked at the sacred realm that had begun to collapse before I knew it.

It’s because I know that there’s no point in talking about it now.

“It’s not that important anyway. Nothing changes.”

and.

“I just use everything that can be used, whether it’s the power the tower has arranged or whatever.”

Having made up my mind after thinking about it, I immediately chose the divinity to acquire.

It’s nothing else…

「Selection complete.」

「Divinity < Rule > is replaced with potential.」

I chose a divine < Rule > that I had already experienced before.

Of course, there were crazy divinities like < Usnap > and < Destruction >, as well as divinities that forcibly waste the opponent’s hand like < Activation >.

But all of them had their downsides.

‘< Rule > is the least good option.’

To be honest, the rest didn’t seem very useful.

Although it’s good that you can take away the ability without killing the opponent, < Extortion > feels similar to necromancy, and < Activate > isn’t very good even if you activate it individually.

The divinity < Destruction > that collapsed the world in the blink of an eye is at least attractive, but… In

fact, it wasn’t very good considering that even this was neutralized by death regression.

The cooldown is 100 years, which is ridiculous.

No matter how much I thought about it, < Rules > was the best choice.

Even this time, it was all the more so because he had acquired the ability to create a divine realm (C+), which is compatible with power extraction.

「The sacred realm < extortion > will soon be closed due to the death of the user.」

At that time, the sacred realm collapsed even faster, and the space itself began to shake.

It seems that the divine power supplied to the sacred realm was cut off and the closing speed increased

.

And then, without hesitation, I broke the sacred realm and escaped to the outside.

Kwagwagwagwang…!

「The achievement ‘Region Destruction Master’ has been achieved.」

「All stats increase by 1.」

I glanced at the achievement message floating in the corner of my field of vision and immediately looked away.

To the city below the realm of gray spheres.

“Is it really over now?”

Perhaps now the machines damaged by the usurper are back to normal.

With the disappearance of the divine realm < Usurpation >, the power that forcibly stopped the operation of the machine must have disappeared.

Of course, the machines that suffered physical destruction to the point of not being able to operate would not have changed that much.

However, just the fact that the remaining machines are working will be enough hope for those who remain.

‘I said the 18th floor stage was real, not fake.’

Recalling that fact brought a smile to my lips.

“…I feel better than I thought. I thought you wouldn’t be too happy about this.”

Even if it wasn’t pure goodwill, thinking that I had saved a lot of people made me feel a little better.

Still, wouldn’t it be proof that there are still a lot of human emotions left?

Of course, that feeling was only short-lived.

Soon, I wiped the smile from my mouth and activated Shinhwa < The Last Savior >.

「Myth < Last Savior > is activated.」

「The effect of < Salvation > is activated.」

「All stats are permanently increased by 6.」

「The effect of < Savior > is activated. ”

“There are currently 29972 followers, so the divine power is greatly enhanced.”

And then.

“Still, this is more fun.”

I smiled thickly at the ability level growth message that popped into my sight.

***

The 18th floor stage is a real world.

The world of the 18th floor stage, where highly developed science dominates everything, suffered a lot of damage…

but there were still many people who continued their lives.

That’s what I liked the most.

‘If this were a real world, < The Last Savior > would be more useful.’

Shinhwa < The Last Savior > will become stronger through the faith of those on this 18th floor stage.

Then, of course, it is possible to increase all stats, as well as to strengthen the divine power to an absurd level later.

Thinking of that, the corners of my mouth couldn’t stop twitching.

The benefits you will get later will be beyond your imagination.

「With the skill ‘Hope Spread’, hope for you spreads rapidly.」

Even with the Hope Spread skill, it seemed like there was nothing to worry about.

Because more and more faith comes to me through the spread of hope.

Presumably, this faith will never cease.

I have the effect of spreading hope, and I’ve done a lot of relief work, so I’m sure you won’t forget me.

Wouldn’t the name at least appear in textbooks?

“I can really go back now.”

In response, I immediately threw myself into the moving portal that appeared in the air.

“Go to the waiting room.”

And then.

“You have entered the waiting room on the 19th floor.”

The next moment.

「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s ordeal is completely over, and the administrator’s [observation area] is normalized.」

As soon as I returned to the familiar stone room, a message popped up in my field of vision.

「The manager ‘Iron-Blooded Lord’ congratulates the contractor for breaking through the ordeal with a smile.』 「

The manager ‘Baekhak Geomseon(白鶴劍仙)’ is greatly relieved after confirming the safety of the contractor.」

So far, there are some restrictions Because of this, he was quite happy that he could not observe the ordeal.

However, the time to reply to the message was a waste.

This is because you have to check the rewards you have obtained by clearing the trials.

I immediately opened my inventory and checked the items I got as a reward for breaking through the 18th floor ordeal.

「Leather gloves of usurper」

「Rating: SS+」

「Action speed +15%」

「A holy relic with the power of < Usurper >, the divine power built by the god of usurpation directly through divinity.

」 You can temporarily steal one and use it.」

「Challenger Han Seong-yoon can activate the exclusive effect ‘Forced Skill Borrowing’ when used.」 「

※Specify one of the opponent’s skills that touched the leather glove and borrow it for 10 minutes. It is possible to use it.」

「※ After using the exclusive effect ‘Forced Skill Rental’, a cooldown of ‘1 day’ is created.」 The

first thing I checked was the usurper’s leather gloves.

I expected it to have the ability to completely take away the opponent’s power, but…

it didn’t.

Instead, there was a special effect called ‘forced skill rental’, so I was able to temporarily borrow and use the skill.

‘It’s not bad, but it’s a bit disappointing.’

Still, it was not at the level of grinding the item itself with the steel eating skill.

Equipped with gray leather gloves on his left hand, he took out ‘Ragnat Company No.17 Limited Edition Combat Cyberware (A+)’ from the inventory.

A prosthetic arm through which a dull-colored electric current flows.

Looking at the outside, to be honest, I can tell you that it’s cool…

After reading the item description window, I couldn’t help but sigh.

「Ragnat Corporation No.17 Limited Edition Combat Cyberware」

「Grade: A+」

「Prosthetic arm strength +30%」

「No.17 limited edition combat cyberware by Ragnat, a

custom-made prosthetic arm company.」 It is combat specialized equipment equipped with combat AI.」

「When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect ‘AI battle mode’ can be activated.

」 Handles at the highest level .」

「When challenger Han Sung-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect ‘AI Assist Mode’ can be activated.」

It is assisted with.」

There is nothing to look at anymore, it’s a joke.

I am attracted to the fact that it is a prosthetic arm that can be attached automatically without a professional procedure… but it is

not a very meaningful item to me, who has super recovery skills such as gray blood.

If he didn’t have an arm, he would have considered using it, but since that wasn’t the case, the disposal of this item was decided.

「The skill ‘Steel Feed’ is activated.]

Cards, Cards, Cards…

It’s been a long time since I’ve thought of replacing an item with Steel Feed.

Because I needed more divine power so far, I changed to the seal of offering rather than eating steel.

But not anymore.

‘Since I’ve raised enough holy power, it’s an important time to raise my abilities.’

The steel eating skill also had enough advantages, so there was no reason not to use it.

“Completely absorbed.”

“Magic power increases by 9.”

“…Only the magical power suddenly increased.”

Even if it wasn’t so, through the command of the usurper, only the magic ability was greatly increased…

And now that the magic power has increased so much, it felt like the magic power was overflowing like seawater.

What would happen if you used magic amplification-type abilities such as tolerance and punishment for this amount of magic?

I didn’t feel bad when I thought about it.

『Skill – Shock Block (A-)』

『Proficiency level – 0%』 『Basic Effect – Definitively blocks 30% of all types of

impact affecting the body.』

It is possible to release it.”

The skill acquired as an additional breakthrough reward, which was confirmed afterwards, also had a considerable advantage.

“It blocks 30% of all kinds of shocks.”

It’s definitely a nice effect.

First of all, it was important to definitively block the impact.

It means that 30% shock block is always triggered, besides defense penetration or physical penetration.

It was even possible to build up and release blocked impulses.

‘This is pretty good.’

After checking all the compensation, I calmed my eyes and took a deep breath.

“Whoa.”

After confirming all the rewards obtained through the trials on the 18th floor, it was time to check what they had accumulated so far.

“Exclusive shop.”

and.

「Contractor Exclusive Shop」

「SP – 114800」

「Category: Skill」

「Category: Authority」

「Category: Goods」

「Contractor: Iron Blood Lord and White Crane Swordsman」

「Remarks: Administrator: The first contractor and manager of Iron Blood Lord’ I’m the apostle of ‘White Crane Swordsman’.”

My eyes twinkled when I saw the huge accumulation of points that appeared in my field of vision.

The result of the ordeal breakthrough reward and the SP reward obtained through numerous achievements is

…

From now on, it was a mindset to use neatly without leaving anything behind.
