Boundless Necromancer

225. 20th floor (3)

< Harmony >.

It’s the divinity I received from the lightsaber I encountered on the 17th floor ordeal’s hidden stage…

Until now, I’ve been putting off absorbing the divinity of < Harmony > that dwells within the island skill.

It was worth it.

It was said that in the process of absorbing the divine < harmony >, the ego could collapse.

Because of that, I decided not to touch the sacredness of the lightsaber until I reached a certain level.

But now that is over.

‘Since I’ve accumulated enough strength, there shouldn’t be too much trouble even if I absorb the divine < Harmony >.’

After I got my hands on the ninjutsu technique, I grew up quickly through numerous incidents.

Now, even against the main body of the Godhead, it can withstand to some extent.

So, I was sure that even if I got my hands on a new divinity, my mind wouldn’t collapse.

As he gazed at the island magic trick in his hand, a profound voice resonated in his head.

―…Could it be that you intend to acquire the sacred < Harmony > right here?

It was Damcheonwoo.

He said something disapprovingly, but I nodded my head and answered calmly.

“That’s right. I feel like I have the right to absorb it now. It probably won’t be too much of a problem.”

– Talking nonsense. Why is there no problem? If you can’t hold on to the divine < harmony > and are eroded by the lightsaber’s evil thoughts, the worst situation will be

…

―…

However, Damcheonwu didn’t say anything, as if he didn’t like that answer.

I couldn’t even breathe properly.

I was more worried than I thought about absorbing divinity prematurely.

I smiled and said at the anxiety of Damcheonwoo flowing from the Blood Demon Sword.

“There is nothing to worry about.”

―…Why are you so impatient? The growth rate itself is sufficient even now. If you do this, you may trip over rocks and fall.

“I know the level of risk. But I don’t have time. You know who my enemy is.”

―But it’s not a problem that can be solved in such a hurry.

“At least if you get the divinity < Harmony >, you can handle at least one divinity.”

It wasn’t a lie.

In fact, I believed that if I defeated the usurper, acquired the divine < Rules >, and obtained the divine < Harmony >, I would be able to defeat the divine status as well.

It was worth it.

Every time I acquire a new divinity, I quickly become stronger.

Even if he had just acquired a godhood, the usurper was certainly strong.

Even so, he did not fall behind and won a head-to-head match, so if he got his hands on the divine < Harmony >, he would surely be able to defeat other gods.

‘Even if I learn a new divinity, I can create another Power Skill.’

To be honest, there were plenty of reasons to learn the sacred < Harmony > right here.

―…Whoa. yes do what you want Anyway, I can’t break your stubbornness.

Dam Chun-wu also said that as if he was going to take a step back.

―I hope it goes the way you think. it’s something to watch out for You’re overconfident in yourself more than you think.

That’s not wrong.

Certainly, I am overconfident compared to before.

But it didn’t matter too much.

It was because I realized that I still lack a lot through the ancient deities I encountered in the giant tree labyrinth.

But paradoxically, because of that lack, I had to spur my growth with confidence.

Because if growth slows down, it will be difficult to maintain this life.

‘…It’s still going to be difficult to deal with not only ancient deities, but also deities like the god of battle.’

At that, I dyed my eyes with aspiration, and then I firmly gripped the island magic technique in my hand.

and.

「The Divinity Store, the exclusive effect of the

island magic technique (S+), is activated.」 「The divine absorption function is activated by detecting the presence of the divine < harmony > that dwells within the island magic skill technique (S+).」 The

next moment.

「The remaining thoughts of the divine < harmony > within the seismic skill (S+) start synchronizing with the challenger Han Seong-yoon

.

***

In the blink of an eye, the landscape in my field of vision changed.

From the desolate waiting room to a field with fresh vegetation under the moonlight.

It feels like maybe only the mind has shifted… but

I couldn’t figure out the situation properly.

‘What is this again?’

Originally, when collecting divinities through necromancy, there was no such procedure.

All the divinities obtained through necromancy settled into the divinity in the body so neatly that it seemed foreign.

However, the acquisition of divine < harmony > was different.

It doesn’t seem to directly hit the mind right now, but useless procedures such as synchronization were infiltrated.

Of course, since I have to stay in the waiting room for a few hours, it doesn’t matter.

‘I’ll have to refer to it later when I learn divinity with powers other than necromancy.’

If this worked in a space other than the waiting room, it would be quite a headache.

As I was imprinting such new information in my head, the scene suddenly changed as if the focus of the camera had changed.

and.

‘uh?’

I opened my eyes to the new scene.

That would be the case…

because a tower boasting an overwhelming size that seemed to reach the sky was built over there.

I knew instinctively what this was.

‘Could that be the Tower of Trials…?’

Of course, I know that this is a leap forward.

But a tower-like structure seen by the divine < Harmony > of the lightsaber festival that made a contract with the tower?

It wouldn’t be an unfounded leap.

It could have been something like the appearance of the tower recorded in the divine < Harmony >.

It was then.

-Why does God have to exist?

The moment I heard the dry woman’s voice resounding like an echo.

There was a crackling sound, indicating that they were walking in the meadow, and a woman wearing a brown robe appeared in the camera-like field of vision.

In response, I quickly tried to use the access to information, but the attempt soon failed.

‘…I can’t use any abilities in this mental space.’

The exclusive authority itself did not respond at all.

More than anything, the authority to read information that can accurately find out about the other person is jammed.

To be honest, I felt a bit disappointed, but that feeling didn’t last very long.

Accepting the situation right away, I observed the woman who came into my field of vision.

That he was wearing a brown robe and that he had long blond hair that came down to the hood despite the robe.

Other than these two, I didn’t know much.

—To God, life is nothing more than a bug.

So I decided to listen to her.

It seemed like that would give me as much information as possible.

In fact, through her words, I was able to obtain new information.

——God is only blinded by greed for faith. They don’t care about nobody in the world. If I can gain faith, I will do anything.

First of all, this woman is not a lightsaber.

The voice of the lightsaber that I had heard on the 17th floor stage was not like this.

Gender is also male.

So there was a high probability that this was not the memories of the lightsaber.

I guess…

─There is no true God anywhere.

I thought this might be a record of someone related to the tower.

‘…even seeing that he resents the existence of God, it’s definitely like that.’

According to what I found out so far, the tower was a transcendent will to wish for the obliteration of divine beings.

So, the woman in sight is probably one of the administrators or someone related to the tower.

Listening to the actual conversation, it seemed that my guess was correct.

—The gods forget their duties and only covet each other’s power and bite each other.

—The gods, who are nothing more than fake, repeat self-made nature in order to generate more faith.

─It causes disasters by itself and solves disasters by itself. Someone has to purify this rotten water.

She said it as if she were talking sermons, revealing her hostility toward God.

Also very intense.

There were also quite a few interesting things among them.

For example, it was so that the gods caused disasters and solved disasters themselves in order to gain faith.

Of course I got it.

‘Maybe not a bad way to endlessly stimulate people’s faith.’

If people see how God handles all kinds of disasters, they will be able to supply and demand a lot of faith.

However, I didn’t like the fact that it caused a disaster for the sake of it.

It’s not an incident that happened inevitably in the first place, it’s because he committed the work himself.

As he listened to her enthusiasm to some extent, something unexpected happened.

The blonde woman turned and stood facing my fixed line of sight.

—So, I need an existence that can kill all gods.

and.

——Also, an omnipotent and omnipotent transcendent with power that surpasses all gods.

next moment.

—I hope this wish comes true as it is.

My eyes met the eerily shining green eyes beyond the brown robe, and my vision was colored white.

「Synchronization with the residual thoughts in the divine < Harmony > failed.」 「

All residual thoughts in the divine < Harmony > are destroyed and replaced with potential.」

「Achievement ‘Brainwashing Resistance’ achieved.」

「All stats increase by 1.」

“Wow…!”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt an indescribable nausea and covered my mouth.

Should I call it unpleasant, as if someone had been groping through every nook and cranny of my head?

An unbearable dizziness hit his whole body.

I salivated at that, barely regaining my focus and checking the system messages.

‘Brainwashing resistance achievement…’

It seems that there was a function that could even brainwash inside the sacred < Harmony >.

Presumably, since the synchronization failed, there was a possibility that this synchronization function itself could be a pseudo-erosion phenomenon caused by divinity.

‘I thought it might be like this, but it’s so dumbfounded that

I actually got hit …’

I was annoyed though.

I never imagined that I would be brainwashed to induce the annihilation of divine beings so openly.

At that, I staggered and raised my body, and soon the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hummed.

―…That’s not a stupid thing to say. Hmm. Have you suffered greatly from the residual thoughts of the divine < Harmony >?

Dam Chun-woo said that as if he had predicted it to some extent, and I replied with my back leaning against the wall in the waiting room.

“…It’s not a level of major damage, but it’s a level of mental damage that can be recovered with a short rest.”

-Right. flaw. Look at it. Didn’t I say that I should be careful about acquiring other divinities?

“….”

―Use this as a lesson.

I didn’t have much to say.

Even though I knew the risk, I ventured into divine acquisition with the thought that I would be able to endure it.

In fact, I was able to handle the risk, but I couldn’t help but overdo it.

Perhaps the residual thoughts of the brainwashing function embedded in the divine < Harmony > were set up by the Tower…

Unexpectedly, it was found that the Tower was not merely showing generosity to candidates.

‘…Of course, this never happened when I was learning the Divine < Death >, so it might be an event unique to the Divine < Harmony >.

In any case, this was not a good sign.

‘There’s nothing wrong with assuming an unknown future situation.’

Keeping in mind to pay more attention to the divinity obtained from the tower, I immediately checked the time.

About a day had passed while learning the divine < Harmony >.

‘It seems that the cooldown of deification is all over now.’

So now it was my turn to finish the work that had to be done before entering the trial.

I absorbed the spirits I had accumulated just before and turned them into ability values.

「Absorbs the spirit of the 14th blood demon ‘Dam Seon-muk’ and permanently increases stats.」

「Muscle strength increased by 9.」 「Agility increased

by 8.」 「Stamina increased by 9.」

「Magic power increased by 8.

It has increased.”

“Durability has increased by 9.”

And then.

「The authority ‘Blessing of the Hero’ is strongly activated.」

「Fortune temporarily rises violently.」

At the same time, suddenly, the Protection of the Hero is activated and an unexpected change occurs.

「Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the 14th blood demon, ‘Dam Seon-muk.」 It’s

nothing else…

「The skill ‘Intangible Sword (SS-)’ is created.」

19th Floor < Blood Ceremony > He acquired the intangible sword skill he had borrowed temporarily from a quest.

I never thought my luck would suddenly rise with the protection of the warrior.

At that, I immediately smiled and checked the skill window.

‘As we already know, the skill level has been inherited at about 17%.’

I felt satisfied that I had definitely inherited the skill proficiency accumulated by Dam Seon-muk during my lifetime.

“Have you built up enough strength with this?”

Acquiring the divine < Harmony > was not enough, and even acquiring the intangible sword was a huge benefit indeed.

So…

“Are you willing to accept the 20th floor ordeal?”

Now it was time to clear the 20th floor ordeal.
