Boundless Necromancer

238. God of Proof (1)

< Chapter of Proof >.

In the holy ground for this training, items were not very valuable.

It was worth it.

In this place, you can’t use items until you succeed in each task.

‘Actually, items like items are useless if you can’t complete the task.’

Oh, of course, the story will be different if you can succeed in the task and get out of the < Proof Field >…

Is it because you’ve been here for a long time?

Kirlujian didn’t show any hesitation in giving away all the items.

Not really at all.

Chow-!

“This is all the items I have.”

He poured out all the items from a leather bag that looked like a subspace pouch.

The number is about 10 or so.

It can be said that there are not too many of them.

However, the items that Kirl Lujian had were worth more for their quality rather than their quantity.

「Certificate of a spear seeker (A+)」

「Distorted pilgrim’s necklace (B+)」

「Scarf of one who endures penance (A-)」

「Moonlight-filled arm guard (A)」

….

….

Looking at the ranks assigned to the items for a moment, I was amazed in my heart.

‘…it’s not enough that all of the items are rated above B+, so the exclusive effects are amazing.’

Of course, most of the items are not appealing because they only have effects related to martial growth

.

only.

I’ve come too far to rely on this to hone my skills.

‘If pure skill was low, I would have considered using it for technological growth…’

He licked his lips because he had no sense of regret.

‘I think it’s a bit useless to use it directly now.’

Inevitably, all items related to skill growth had to be replaced.

However, items that were not involved in technology growth were immediately stocked up in the inventory.

Maybe I’ll be able to use these someday.

Having concluded that, I immediately chewed and swallowed the remaining items.

「The skill ‘Steel Feed’ is activated.」

Originally, I was worried about switching to divine power for a while.

I changed my mind because I couldn’t widen the overwhelming difference in ability through the fight with Lujian.

The only competent people in this < field of proof > are those who have devoted themselves to training for at least a long period of time.

Therefore, it was decided not to think that their physical abilities would be low.

‘Technology is also a skill, but if your physical ability goes up, you’ll be able to win more easily.’

It would be better to raise the stats than to develop divine powers that cannot be used right away.

“Completely absorbed.”

“Muscle strength increased by 1.”

“Stamina increased by 1.” “Durability increased by

1.”

“Magic power increased by 1.”

Looking at the actual increased stats, I realized that the decision was correct. I was sure.

Because the vitality of the whole body was very great.

Even this is not the only benefit.

“Completely absorbed.”

“The constitution is improved by absorbing steel.”

“It discharges 1.7% of the turbid air accumulated in the body.” It

is easier to deal with energy by discharging some of the turbid air accumulated in the body. .

It’s not a meaningful growth that stands out, but…

It’s a mountain by collecting dust.

Still, these small growths pile up and add value.

「The mastery of the skill ‘Steel Eat (B+)’ has reached 100%.」 「The

grade of the skill ‘Steel Eat (B+)’ has risen by one level.」

Perhaps thanks to consuming numerous items, the grade of Steel Eater has also improved. Raised to A-grade.

‘Since the skill level has also risen, will the absorption efficiency increase?’

Really…

It was rewarding to have been eating the items like crazy until now.

At that, I smiled broadly and immediately checked the items in my inventory that hadn’t been changed to stats.

「Moonlight-infused wrist guard」

「Grade: A」

「Mysterious wrist guard made by an unknown vampire who loved moonlight

.

」 In proportion to the amount of magic power consumed, a shield made of moonlight from the item covers the whole body.”

It’s not very good performance even though it’s a high-grade item.

In fact, this was an item that was backward compatible with the ‘Vampire Count’s Old Tailcoat (A-)’ that I am currently wearing.

If it’s all about creating a shield, the ‘Vampire Count’s Old Tailcoat (A-)’ would be better, as it can create any number of shields by consuming blood.

However, the true value of this item was not something like a protective shield.

‘It’s important that moonlight can be created artificially.’

It’s nothing else…

It’s because of the physical advantage obtained from the giant tree labyrinth < Moonlight Favor >.

Somehow, I got one of the vampire’s racial traits with the skill ‘Depersonalization (A+)’… I

was worried that there weren’t many opportunities to use that racial trait.

‘If you can freely use Moonlight Favor, it’s worth it.’

Physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > was able to receive a guaranteed +4 increase in all stats and a 10% increase in all stats.

It’s like bringing the fraudulent traits of the vampire race…

This wasn’t enough, and the physical advantage < Moonlight Favor > even had an option to increase the growth rate of all types by 10%.

If you can meet the condition of using moonlight, it will bring you tremendous benefits.

‘I’m looking forward to the time when I can use the item later.’

In fact, in addition to this, there were numerous other achievements that Key gained from the fight against Lujian.

He gained many skills in a fight that lasted only a few minutes.

These were all skills related to spearmanship, so I had no intention of touching them.

If there ever comes a situation where I have to use a spear, I think I’ll be able to use it somehow.

‘Is this the end of the reward?’

Having obtained all the rewards, I quickly turned my attention to Lujian.

“I think you can watch the battle at this level.”

Kirlujian offered high-grade items and asked me to see the battle.

“Are you really going to be okay?”

So there was nothing I couldn’t hear.

In the first place, it doesn’t matter whether you see the battle or not.

To be honest, if I swallowed so many items, I would have to teach them something.

I just stay still because Lujian didn’t ask for the key that far.

“Yes… I’m not asking you to teach me anything, just watching.”

“Oh oh…!”

“But before that, I have a question for you.”

“…?”

“What is the purpose of watching my battle?”

I was genuinely curious.

Why is Kirl Lujian trying to watch my battle?

And soon, Kirl Lujian came up with an answer to that question.

“I’ll say it’s because I want to be strong.”

“In a word, he wants to use my battle as a reference.”

“yes. I… have to be strong. That’s why I came here.”

“Is that so.”

After hearing the answer like that, I didn’t want to ask more deeply.

It was worth it.

Because the ultimate goal that Kirl Lujian wants is no different from mine.

If you look at it closely, I entered < The Field of Proof > because I wanted to become stronger.

So, there was no question.

‘Perhaps there is something like personal circumstances.’

The reasons for trying to become stronger were varied, so there was no need to listen.

But one thing was certain.

Exactly…

「The authority ‘Harvest Faith’ detects strong faith in the user.”

「The authority ‘Harvest Faith’ is strongly activated

. ”

It is said that he had the same feelings as faith in me.

「※I am being followed by those with high willpower.」

「※The efficiency of harvesting faith increases greatly.」

And that is a very strong faith.

I moved on and continued my thoughts.

Emotions derived from the desire to become stronger lead to deep faith.

‘If this happens, won’t other ascetics be able to give me faith as well?’

That means that other practitioners can also gain such a high level of faith.

Most of those who entered the < Proof Field > must be those who crave power.

Stealing their technology might make Ki feel like Lujian.

That too with a very high probability.

I walked away with a deep smile on him.

Guess-.

‘It’s fun.’

Perhaps, it was possible to lay the groundwork for creating a new myth here.

***

Time has passed.

It wasn’t that difficult to find the skilled people in < The Field of Proof > and fight them.

Because I had figured out in advance the place where the ascetics were staying with Gigam.

In response, I slowly stole and mastered the skills of the practitioners and accumulated victories.

“Oh, how can you do this archery…! tell me! What is that archery?”

Is it because of taking down enemies with pure skill?

Every time I defeated the monks, they clung to me and said they wanted to learn the technique.

Oh, of course, because it’s annoying, I didn’t teach it directly, but instead, it was okay to watch the battle.

But…

“I’ll give you any number of items, so please let me see the battle!”

under the premise that reasonable compensation is given.

「The skill ‘Steel Feed’ is activated.」

Then, after the battle, he changed all the items he obtained, and his stats went up somehow.

“Completely absorbed.”

“Muscle strength increases by 6.”

“Stamina increases by 5.” “

Agility increases by 4.” “Durability

increases by 5.” “

Magic power increases by 3.”

I realized that the grade of steel eating went up again.

‘As the skill level goes up, it seems that the stats gained from eating steel have also increased.’

At this point, your stats have risen to the point of being comparable to the clear reward of < The Field of Proof [Step 1] >.

There was no way I couldn’t be satisfied.

After that, as he repeatedly won victories from the practitioners, the conditions for success in the task rose rapidly before he knew it.

And—

dump-!

“…I will admit defeat. So please let me know. What the hell was that sword you showed me?”

The moment when an elderly man using a sword admitted defeat.

「※Task Success Conditions: Win against the trainees who meet the conditions with very low proficiency weapons (10/10)」 It was

acknowledged that you won against the last trainee, and the task was cleared.

「You have cleared the < Proof Field [Step 1] > task in the Sacred Zone.」 「

※You will be able to enter the < Proof Field [Step 2] > as a task success reward.」 「

※ As a task success reward, all stats will be increased. It has increased by +10.」

「※ As a reward for completing the task, a ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」 In terms

of time, it took about two days?

Aside from the time consuming learning of some of the practitioner’s skills, I didn’t actually invest too much time.

But since I’ve grown to this extent…

I thought it was a good thing to come to the Temple of Proof as I contemplated the power that filled my body.

‘I’m glad the task wasn’t as difficult as I thought.’

If he hadn’t come to the Temple of Proof, he wouldn’t have grown this much.

This is especially true when you consider the upgrade of the reward increase authority that you will get later.

As I was satisfied with that, a portal suddenly appeared in front of me.

Whoa-!

“You mean we can go to the next level now?”

Now that step 1 is over, it must mean moving on to the next step.

The moment he tries to step out to enter the portal.

Suddenly, a system message popped into my field of vision.

「The authority ‘Harvest Faith’ detects intense faith in the user.」

「The authority ‘Harvest Faith’ is strongly activated.」

「It reaps the faith in you.」 It’s

nothing else…

)….”

The monks gathered around me were muttering that with their eyes twinkling.

Did he like the sword he showed at the end against the elderly man holding the sword?

They all immediately bowed down as if they had touched something sacred.

Faith welled up from the ascetics lying face down in the meadow and flowed into me.

Even that is on a different level than before.

「※They are followed by those with high willpower.」

「※The efficiency of harvesting faith increases very greatly.」

Then, the faith that rose up reached a certain point.

「There is not enough story to be the base.」

「The harvested faith is stored for the next myth.」

「When you get a story suitable for your faith, a new myth is created.」

Your faith has risen to the point where you can create a new myth.

‘I never thought I’d really get this much faith.’

At that, I smiled lightly and looked around at the ascetics prostrated in the meadow.

“…”

It’s good to have faith that is thick enough to create a myth

.

So there wasn’t much I could do.

But even if I could have helped, it didn’t seem necessary.

That would be…

“Thank you. you are innocent I will live without forgetting the light you showed me.”

Unlike before, they seem to have been greatly stimulated by me.

‘The look in his eyes has changed a lot.’

It was no longer the eyes as if they were implicitly giving up.

I don’t know what the hell you saw in me and changed so much.

Still, after watching the battle, I found out something, so isn’t it something like this?

Without saying a word, I left and headed for the portal.

‘Now everyone will take care of it.’

Judging by the look in his eyes, he seemed to have overcome his frustration, but then I didn’t have to worry about it anymore.

In the first place, most of the faith was now absorbed, so there was nothing more to gain.

As I walked, I heard someone’s excited voice behind me.

“Please look forward to it! God of War! The light you showed me will be known to others!”

I smiled at him and continued walking without stopping.

‘Are you thinking of spreading your faith to others?’

Maybe I’m thinking of telling others about me…

I don’t know how helpful it will be to try to spread the faith in this small space.

I’m guessing it’s better than nothing.

I wasn’t expecting too much no matter what.

But then, I had a sudden thought.

It’s nothing else…

‘…But what if these people succeed in their task?’

It reminded me of what if these practitioners cleared their tasks and went outside.

‘Is something like a religion created?’

It can’t be.

These monks have not been able to escape from this place for a long time, and there is a high probability that they will continue to do so.

‘Oh no way.’

Of course, if something like a religion is created, a great amount of faith will come into it.

It is also very pure.

Presumably, then, with that faith, he might accumulate numerous myths and lay the foundation for truly becoming a god.

But…

「I have entered the Sacred Ground < The Field of Proof [Step 2] >.」

That would not be possible.

maybe.
