Boundless Necromancer

231. Temple (4)

「Charged.」

「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is in a state where it can reflect the accumulated damage.』 The

counterattack shield spread out in the form of a red curtain shone brightly while displaying the message that the charge was complete.

Kiyiing-!

The moment when a completely different level of energy flowed out of the counterattack shield.

I immediately changed the twin swords in my hand into lead swords, and then changed the counterattack shield into a form close to a sword.

It’s nothing else…

a lightsaber.

Before obtaining the Holy Light, he was going to use the wide-area skill he used to use.

I smiled lightly as my body was momentarily hit by the shower of arrows.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve used this.’

Because I can’t use the Honyuan Demon Sword, I can’t use a combo that increases the power several times…

but this should be enough to wipe out the group of challengers.

I blinked my eyes at him, and soon I even activated the engraving skill while holding onto the red sword.

to maximize power.

「Activate True Blood Demon Sword’s < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Intention (B+) >」

And.

「Authority ‘Kimki Seonggang 劍氣成罡’ is strongly activated.」

「Skill ‘Destroy Heaven’ is activated.」

「The limit on what can be broken disappears

」

「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ releases the accumulated damage at once.]

In the blink of an eye, the counterattack shield that changed like a red sword fired a flash of light.

‘White Sword Guancheon.’

「The skill ‘Steel Blade’ is activated.]

「The blade is endowed with the Wind attribute by the skill ‘Swirl Blade (C+)’.」

And that too very quickly.

Kwagwagwagwagwang…!!

It wasn’t enough to have the herbivore of White Swordsman Chuncheon with the ability to penetrate defense, so I mixed in small skills.

In fact, it’s the best blow I can use with all of my divinity-related abilities sealed…

I was curious as to how far this would work.

How many enemies can I face with no divinity and fixed stats?

The question about him was soon resolved.

That would be the case too…

Kwajijijijijik-!

Because the challengers in the enemy camp were not able to block the lightsaber for even a second and were pulverized.

Sorcery, magic, power, skill, and so on…

Countless forces surged and numerous curtains were created, but all of them were useless.

In the end, it was swallowed up by the red light and reached its ruin.

「Achievement ‘Immortal Gap’ has been achieved.」

「The skill ‘Unextinguished Mortal Flame (S-)’ is created.」

Even the achievement was completed and the skill was acquired, so it was a great benefit indeed.

‘…S-class skills. I got something pretty good. I don’t know what it is, but it’s worth trying.’

His eyes twinkled and I felt anticipation.

It was worth it.

It’s nothing else, it’s just an S-class skill.

Even though there are some skills that are not as valuable as the grade…

The S-class skill obtained as an achievement reward was expected to have that power once.

As he smiled and felt his heart tickle, he heard a sound in his ear.

“Ah ah ah ah …. Why is that monster like that?”

“It’s a joke …? fuck! There’s no way this could make sense…!”

“Crazy…. Even though they have the same abilities, they were so overwhelmingly beaten…”

There were people who survived because they were outside the place where the lightsaber was fired.

But it didn’t matter much.

Most of the wizards and archers who had bothered him so far were dead.

In response, I grabbed the twin swords again in my hand and accelerated my body to run away.

And—

「The skill ‘Unquenchable mortal flame’ is activated.」

Then, when I activated the newly obtained skill, a strange thing happened.

Fire-!

Suddenly, black flames rose from the tips of my feet and began to collapse everything.

This was not a metaphor or anything.

Truly black flames were fired at the enemies, burning the earth as if it were turned to ashes.

The moment the unquenchable mortal flame collapsed and touched one of the challengers.

Quasarsak…!

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

As it was, the challenger was engulfed in flames and in the blink of an eye turned to ashes and poured down.

The challengers who saw it immediately tried to extinguish the flame with all available means…

but the black flame was not extinguished by any of them.

It just burns everything it touches.

Only then did the challengers realize that it was meaningless to face the unquenchable mortal flame, and each screamed and scattered.

“You have to run away too…! I don’t want to die…!”

At that, Damcheonwu clicked his tongue as he watched the challengers scattering.

-They are fools. Delaying death won’t mean much anyway.

Hearing that, I nodded and agreed.

‘Even if I run away like that, I can’t clear the ordeal if I don’t kill myself.’

I couldn’t understand.

Even if he tried to save his life mercilessly, in the end, everyone would die the same way…

Why is he acting so ugly?

But apart from that, I was definitely impressed by the power of the new skill.

‘An unquenchable mortal flame. It’s amazing. In terms of pure power, it’s on a level comparable to that of the holy light.’

However, the unquenchable mortal flame was not a wide-area skill without a master.

‘Because the strengths are clear, the weaknesses are also clear.’

One length, one line.

Compared to its insane ability to turn everything to ashes, the unquenchable flame spread slowly.

Not even that.

The consumption of mana was also enormous, to the extent that it could be said that the body’s mana was consumed by 10% per second.

It wasn’t a skill that could be used for a long time.

Perhaps, if I wait a few more seconds like this, the runaway challengers will drag on the time and consume all my mana.

At that, I clicked my tongue and in the end briefly extinguished the unquenchable mortal flame.

「Skill ‘Unextinguished mortal flame’ is deactivated.」

And.

「The special power, ‘Dragon Change’ is activated.」

「The amount of magical power possessed is doubled for 10 minutes.」

「Reproduces some of the characteristics of the dragon race for 10 minutes.」

「For 10 minutes, all magic-related interference and operational abilities increase.」

Wood-deuk Wood-deuk…!

I activated the power of Yonginhwa, which can make up for the lack of magical power.

It is an ability that does not affect the magical ability itself, but only raises the amount of magical power, so it is not affected by divine < balance >.

Satisfied with the magic power that had filled up in my body, I immediately shot sparks from my mouth like a breath.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The challengers who were hit directly by the dragon breath died as if they were bursting in half, scattering fresh blood…

「The skill ‘Seeker of Fresh Blood’ is activated.]

The fresh blood created in this way was stirred up like a storm and a new mortal flame was activated.

「The skill ‘Unextinguished mortal flame’ is activated.」

As a result, black flames flew around, attaching to the bloody storm created by the seeker of fresh blood.

Of course, despite using the imprint skill < Enhanced Blood (C+) >, the bloody storm faded in an instant, so I had to replenish the blood constantly… but it wasn’t too bad

.

“This is also a good skill combo to use as you think.”

It’s like adding the destructive power of the unquenchable mortal flame to the mobility of the bloody storm

.

Of course, since the amount of magical power consumed by the unquenchable mortal flame is enormous, it cannot be maintained for long.

Still, with this, the challengers were able to sort things out to some extent.

‘Now all that’s left are the ones attached to the saintess’ side.’

Are you among the elite among the challengers assigned to this 20th floor trial?

All the challengers on the saintess’ side seemed to realize that there was no other way to survive.

That’s very certain.

At that, I immediately shot a storm of blood at the saintess, frowning.

‘You have to clear the 20th floor ordeal when you can use the unquenchable mortal flame.’

Currently, the magic power remaining in the body is about 30%.

Considering that the magic recovery itself was significantly lowered by the divine < Balance >, it was difficult to maintain.

Even if you activate the rapid magic recharge ability, the duration of the unextinguished mortal flame will not increase.

So it was right to make a decision as quickly as possible.

But…

[Is there a balance beyond countless sacrifices? It won’t be as you wish. ]

As soon as the god of balance who had < Advent > said that to the saintess, the bloody storm disappeared. 「Shinhwa < Selfish Balance Beyond Sacrifice > has designated Challenger Seongyoon Han.」

「Most of the skills of Challenger Seongyoon Han will be disabled for 4 minutes.

」

I gnashed my teeth at the rising irritation.

Most of the abilities related to divinity were sealed in the equalization of all stats

.

I didn’t like it because I felt that he was openly trying to kill me.

But that was only for a moment.

“It’s like this monster child. I can kill you now.”

“Hit everything! If we can’t kill them within 4 minutes, they think we’ll die!”

“Now just die gracefully, you fucking monster…!”

The challengers on the side of the saintess rushed at each other, causing sword flames.

To be honest, it was difficult to follow the movement now.

It was worth it.

Because all the stats were not fixed enough, even the skills were turned into unusable.

But I also had a few things I hid.

That too-.

「Returner’s Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’ is activated.」

「Myth < Balance Beyond Sacrifice > returns to the ‘pre-attack state’ by ‘Attack Invalidation’.」

「Returner’s A 30-minute cooldown is created for the worn-out watch (SSS+) exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’.” A

hidden number that can reverse this absurdity.

***

kurlrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

In the blink of an eye, the blood storm and the unquenchable mortal flame were restored with the exclusive effect of nullifying the attack.

It was natural.

Attack Nullification, one of the exclusive effects inherent in the Regressor’s worn-out watch, returns everything to its ‘pre-attack condition’.

Everything involved in that attack is regressive.

‘That’s why a storm of blood filled with unquenchable mortal flames is also created.’

But the enemies didn’t know that, so they fell into a panic at once.

“Time has gone back…!? Uh, how could this be…!”

But I had no intention of solving the question.

“All die.”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

In response, I immediately launched a storm of blood at the challengers on the saintess side.

Soon, they became a handful of ashes without being able to properly scream.

「Challenger Seong-yoon Han is 1.8% closer to ascension by winning against numerous enemies.」 「As a

special reward for < Rise of Divinity >, you will acquire the exclusive effect ‘One-Man Corps (D+)’.

」 Every battle, all stats increase by +1.」

Then, killing the challengers so far led to the activation of Ascension, and rewards were given.

‘Ascension increased by 1.8%…’

Ascension increased more than when he killed Cliff Sherid, who was chosen by the God of Exile.

‘It’s salty in its own way.’

He even acquired ‘One-Man Corps (D+)’ as an exclusive effect, so he really achieved good growth.

Even though it’s small, these small effects come together to make me stronger…

I was satisfied.

‘If I keep going like this, I don’t think it’s far from reaching 100% ascension, right?’

Surprisingly, the speed at which Ascension rose was not slow.

I don’t know what will change when Ascension reaches 100%, but…

I had a hunch that at least then I would be able to get something pretty good.

As I smiled lightly at him, a new system message immediately came to my mind.

「I defeated numerous challengers who took on roles in the 20th floor ordeal.」

「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s [Role-playing battle completion rate] increased by 10%.」

Suddenly, the total [Role-playing battle completion rate] rose to 70%.

[How can you get that much power when you’ve only just arrived on the 20th floor…] After

reading all the system messages, the God of Balance who wrote < Advent > to the saintess muttered in contemplation.

[You… You…]

Looking at that figure, I secretly began to suck up the blood that had been scattered on the earth.

‘It would be advantageous to fill up my physical strength and magical power as much as possible.’

As a seeker of fresh blood, he could convert blood into physical strength and magic, so he intended to use it.

To pass the time, I spoke to her, who was trembling with her blonde hair down sadly.

“Is it impossible to build up this much power in the first place?”

[ …yes, no one has reached that level like you]

“….”

[ …and the former candidate in your red sword is the same. ]

―…As if he knew who I was.

Suddenly, at her words, a hum echoed from Damcheonwu.

I was a little surprised.

I didn’t know Dam Chun-wu would say this directly.

However, the god of balance who wrote < Advent > to the saintess said while spilling arsenic as if he had expected it.

[ okay. i know you Because you also tried to break the balance of many things. But… in the end, you couldn’t achieve the tower’s secret wish either. ]

―It was.

[It seems like you’re waiting for the moment of choice, but it seems you haven’t decided even that properly. ]

―….

[Have you learned anything from living with a monster like that? Dam Chun-wu, former candidate, even if you get a new opportunity—. ]

―It would be good to close that useless mouth.

Hard.

The Blood Heaven Demon Sword vibrated thinly and let out thick flesh.

[ …Still, I don’t hate that selfish choice. That selfish choice of yours will also be balanced. ]

It was an incomprehensible sound.

But I didn’t have to try to understand.

After all, most of the things the gods say are vague.

After saying that, she took her eyes off the blood demon sword, and Dam Chunwoo also quietly closed her mouth.

At that, the God of Balance, who borrowed the body of a saintess, glared at me and then said with an eerie laugh.

[ …Still, I knew one thing. you. Challenger with transcendent divinity. You are the heir chosen by the tower. ]

And.

[Don’t go away this time. But next time it won’t be like this. From now on, we will be dealing with you seriously. ]

next moment.

[Don’t wait until then.]

Suddenly—!

As soon as I finished those words, I immediately swung my sword and decapitated the saintess.

***

「Absorbed the spirit of challenger ‘Gloria’.」

「Destroyed challenger ‘Gloria’ who played the role of [Saint Woman].」

「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s [Role Playing Battle achievement rate] increases by 30%.」 「

[ [Demon King] role’s [Role-Playing Battle Achievement Rate] has reached 100%, and corrections have been made to the ordeal breakthrough reward

. ”

As soon as it came into view, I squinted my eyes.

“I won’t stop this.”

I was dumbfounded because I didn’t know that I would really die quietly.

‘I didn’t expect him to back off immediately after being so irritating.’

Of course, I was convinced to some extent.

Even if I had fought as it was in the first place, I would have won in a matter of seconds.

He must have thought that it was better to withdraw than to continue fighting ugly.

At that, I hung the swords from my waist and thought while touching my chin.

“…”

She said that the next time we met, we would be serious.

Even using the expression “we”.

That means that not only the god of balance, but also many gods are against me.

So I made a promise to the next one with so much confidence.

‘Wait until then is probably to promise the time when we can fight each other with all our might.’

The Tower does not block the intervention of the Goddess if it matches each other sufficiently.

Therefore, the God of Balance thought about that and said that he would wait for the moment when he could fight with all his might.

But I wasn’t too worried.

“It doesn’t matter whether you do or not.”

That would be the case…

“Because I don’t intend to stay still anyway.”

This is because from the beginning, I had the intention of definitely eliminating some deities.

‘At most, it’s a level where there are more enemies.’

So there was nothing to worry about, just thinking about getting stronger for now.

“Congratulations, you have broken through the 20th floor of the Tower of Trials.”

“All stats have increased by +20 as a breakthrough reward.” “

You have acquired ‘200000 points’

as a breakthrough reward.” .」

「As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (A+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」 「

As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Abyssal Slayer’s Longsword (A-)’ will be sent to your inventory.」

「To the waiting room Please move.”

As I made up my mind to do so, a system message popped up to the extent that it filled my field of vision.

“I got a lot.”

All stats +20, skill proficiency increase potion (A+), slayer’s longsword stained in the abyss (A-), etc… I was

able to get more things than normal ordeals, befitting the 20th floor integrated ordeal.

However, this is also a state where the right to increase compensation has not yet been applied…

I was looking forward to it.

「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated.」

How much more amazing the result of using the authority to increase reward.
