Boundless Necromancer

Chapter 296

296. Transcendence Myth (5)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In an instant, the holy light imbued with the divinity < Death > destroyed everything.

The black starlight that finally split the clouds and reached the earth reached the point where it split the earth apart.

At this point, the momentum of the black starlight could split the world.

But this was, at best, just the beginning.

The true value of black starlight is different.

Right away…

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Poetry heart!! I think my heart will break!!”

“Keuk keuh keuh uh uhh…! Save me…! Kuk—!”

“God…. My God…. Please take care of us… Aaah-!!”

genocide.

The holy light imbued with the divine < Death > can kill enemies in one shot.

Even if they are believers who have reached the stage of preliminary apostles, it is no different.

In the blink of an eye, most of the hundreds of believers died simultaneously.

In fact, wouldn’t this have ended many of the remnants serving the evil spirits?

But I wasn’t very happy right away.

‘Originally, this would have ended, but this time the situation is a little different.’

That’s also the case…

?Divine < Evil Eating > is used.?

?Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s next attack has the power to eat away the divine.?

Currently, I have activated the divine < Evil Eating > obtained from the evil god in advance. .

That’s why I didn’t want to see all the enemies dying helplessly in the divine < death >.

There were still things that those with some level of skill had to do with their lives.

At least until you can see the results you want.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

‘With this, I’ll be able to find out how far the divine < Evil Eating > can go.’

The servants serving the evil spirits in front of me were each strong in their own way.

Even the male presumed to be a 4th-class apostle who stood at the head of the followers was quite high.

At least it’s a level where divinity is carried in the voice, so it’s on the same level as the black dragon.

In fact, the guesses that followed in the blink of an eye led to the correct answer.

?The emotions of the 4th-level formal apostle ‘Rikios’ are stained with extreme anger!

? This is…! this is! It is the power of the evil god! It means that a deity who has fallen into an affair is not the power to use! ]

The apostle introduced as Rikios in the system message gave off his divinity as if in a fit of fuss.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!! ]

It’s nothing else…

“The holy power of the 4th-level formal apostle ‘Rikios’ is consumed, and the power exclusive to the apostle is activated.” A

gray liquid-like aura was welling up from Rikios’ palm before he knew it.

?The outer divinity is rejected by the ‘right of all evil’, the authority exclusive to the apostles.?

Even that is in the form of pushing out the outer divinity.

Kagagakgagak…!

In an instant, the black starlight imbued with the divinity < Evil Eating > collided with the gray curtain.

The appearance of a noise like scratching an iron plate.

Only then did Rykios hold out his hands and giggle and laugh ugly.

Before he knew it, his face was convinced that he had blocked the holy light.

[Ha ha ha ha ha! look look!! O God who is stained with infidelity! Someone like you can easily stop it—. ]

As the proverb says, ‘That herb and that rice’…

Is Rikios right in front of you also the apostle with that divine power?

At most, it had only been a few seconds since the power of the divine < Evil Eating > had been blocked, and confidence had already risen.

A proud expression, as if he had perfectly defended the holy light that the divine < Evil Eater > dwelled in.

But before he could say anything back, something happened.

Wow-.

[ …ah? ]

There was a crack in the gray curtain made of apostle-only powers.

[…Why is this happening like this–. ]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww-!!

The moment the gray curtain lost its shape and shattered like glass upon impact.

In an instant, the black starlight that ate up the broken pieces of the gray curtain crushed Lychios.

So much so that even its shape is unrecognizable.

The divine starlight that overflowed in the blink of an eye devoured countless followers as they were.

And…

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!

?Absorbed the spirit of the 4th-class full apostle ‘Rikios’.?

?Absorbed the spirit of the preliminary apostle ‘Siglpium’…?

?Absorbed the spirit of the preliminary apostle ‘Yozolundeul’… ?

The moment the marks of the dead spirit flowed all over the body as if to block the view.

?Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the majority, bringing her 1.97% closer to the second ascension.?

[ Hmm. ]

Only then did I nod and smile as if I was satisfied.

[I think I know roughly. ]

It deserved it.

[Is this the power of the divine < Evil Eating >? ]

This time, a meaningful result was obtained against a 4th-level apostle.

[I was able to overwhelm a 4th grade apostle even though I lowered the output of the holy light a lot…]

Here, the output of the holy light emitted to the defeated soldiers of the evil spirit was adjusted.

It has to be.

From a common sense point of view, if you use the maximum power of the light, you can’t confirm the power of the divine < Evil Eating >, right?

Perhaps if it was the starlight at full power, they wouldn’t have lasted even a second.

Even if it was Rykios, a 4th-class official apostle, he would have died without even uttering a scream.

However, there was something he gained thanks to shooting the light with the lowest possible output.

[I think the divinity < Evil Eating > can be regarded as a natural enemy against the divinity. ]

A natural enemy-like ability that devours all divinities.

That’s why it was on the level of an instant kill for those who had no means of combat other than divinity.

Because the divinity < Evil Eating > can consume all types of divinities and use them as its own power.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not without its downsides.

‘Divinity < Evil Eater > takes time to consume the opponent’s divinity.’

For now, the drawback that can be immediately identified is the application time of Divine Predation.

It takes at least a few seconds to pierce the power of the divine…

It will probably give you a chance to respond against an enemy who can accelerate the sense of time itself.

And even that was not enough, there was an invisible cooldown in the divine < Akshik >.

‘To put it roughly, there is a cooldown unique to divine powers of about 4 hours.’

If so, this wasn’t an ability that could be used for normal strikes.

It must be a hidden move that should only be applied at a level like a one-hit kill.

But nonetheless, I liked it.

That would be the case too…

[Still, if you have this, you can drive a divinity that is heavily dependent on divinity into a corner. ]

In fact, this is to remove the opponent’s holy ability, even for a moment.

[I got something good. ]

Of course, there are many disadvantages, but there are many means to cover them.

How to use the divine < evil food > can only be expected.

The enemies you’ll see later will be getting higher and higher.

And…

?Time ends.?

?The divine power ‘Apotheosis’ is deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours.?

The moment when the power of Apotheosis is released and the Divinity is further softened.

thud.

Suddenly, a clear tone resonated from the sky and a beauty landed on the ground.

Her silver hair, her red eyes, her uniform that clings to her body, and so on…

Many of her features caught my eye at once, and I immediately knew who she was.

“Han Seong-yoon!”

Canary Rugfeld.

The imperial princess, who would later be called the iron-blooded monarch, quickly approached.

She looked at me with worried eyes, her red eyes wiggling around.

“My dear!”

Even…

“Are you okay? Are there any serious injuries? If that’s the case, you have to get out of here right away…”

It’s enough to say that it’s a fuss.

[ …tsk tsk. What do you mean there is something to worry about? Even if you get hit by a meteorite, the owner will be fine. ]

In fact, the black dragon that landed late also clicked his tongue and said so.

[I don’t even think I’ve lost the battle…]

And then the black dragon continued talking as if it were interesting.

[If that’s the case, it’s useless to worry about the monstrous owner. ]

In the black dragon’s eyes, an emotion like awe was revealed.

Now the black dragon seemed to have realized the truth to some extent.

That I had won against the evil spirits at the center of the final battle.

Even Canary seemed embarrassed to know.

“It’s noisy… that’s about it, I know. But there’s such a thing as a “just in case”…”

He must have realized now that he couldn’t have been hurt by common sense.

“But if there are any wounds you don’t know about…”

she continued as if to hide her embarrassment.

However, there was no need to pretend to be sick, as there were no injuries anyway.

I immediately shook my head and quickly dismissed Canary’s concerns.

“…no. There are no serious injuries. Thank you for your concern.”

“Really?”

“yes.”

“If that’s the case, it’s fortunate…”

The black dragon snorted as the canary blurted out her words as if she were embarrassed.

[Look at that. ]

“….”

[You said it was useless worry. I know we get along well with each other. But how about being self-respecting to some extent? ]

“I was just preparing for the contingency…”

He tried to pretend to be calm as if it was nothing.

But when I saw that her earlobes were stained red, I smiled.

I thought that the Iron Blood Lord’s past might have been surprisingly emotional.

At this point, I want to tease the canary from this side.

But this leisurely time should end with this.

“It’s good to talk like this, but I can’t say I’ve won completely yet.”

It was worth it.

“Because the remnants of the evil spirits will still remain around the world.”

There must still be work left to do in order to satisfy the clear conditions of the ordeal.

And only then canary and black dragon seriously listened to the story.

You must have noticed that there are people like that all over the world, just as those who served evil spirits remained in the half-collapsed sacred realm < Demon Ball >.

“…Well, even if there were no evil spirits, there would still be remnants of it. I don’t know what else will happen if they’re alive.”

[I don’t think it’s going to have a very good effect, at least considering all these miscellaneous things that just died. Perhaps the owner wants to talk about that. ]

“Yes. That those who worshiped evil spirits are alive. That is never a good thing.”

So…

“wasting time isn’t such a good choice.”

Now it is time to satisfy the clear conditions of the special contract ordeal.

Anyway, if you say that the followers who received the power of the godhead, they would only be of a great level.

At most, how many official apostles were left?

So, I had no intention of procrastinating.

‘Anyway, this kind of troublesome tag-and-seek isn’t my taste, and it won’t be of much benefit.’

If so, it was the intention to quickly wipe out the possibility of destruction left in the world.

“So let’s go clean up the remnants of the evil spirits left in the world.”

That too is very certain.

***

Time passed quickly.

To clean up the remnants of evil spirits around the world.

It didn’t take much time.

It took a short time of three days, faster than I thought.

‘I thought it would take a week, but things worked out.’

That should be the case too…

?By the divinity < Ikalium >, I have achieved synchronization with the world itself.?

Qualification to protect the world.

It was because he synchronized with the world with the divinity < Ikalium > obtained at the end of collecting them.

I’ve felt it before in my battle with the evil god, but…

sympathizing with the world was of great value in itself.

‘The level of divinity is great, but the authority of the world is a power that cannot be underestimated.’

It was worth it.

With the aid of the divinity < Ikalium >, it became easier to search because I was attuned to the world itself.

Once attuned to the world, most of what happened on this land was easily perceptible, even with very little attention.

It’s like putting the world in the palm of your hand and contemplating it.

In an instant, I found out where the people who served the evil spirits were, moved there, and cleaned up after three days.

And…

?The achievement ‘Clean up the leftovers’ has been achieved.?

?Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.?

?The reward level obtained from the achievement increases.?

? All stats increase by 7.”

The moment when all the remnants of the evil spirit were erased after burning down an unknown meadow.

“Is this the end of everything…”

System messages appeared before her eyes, announcing the end of the special contract ordeal.

?Special Contract Ordeal < Wish of the Depths: Iron Blood Lord > has been cleared.?

?Compensation is calculated according to the details of clearing the Special Contract Trial…?

?Appraisal beyond trust for the Iron Blood Lord of the Special Contract Ordeal has been confirmed.”

“The reward for clearing the special contract ordeal is set at the highest level, and additional rewards are paid.”

But is it because the reward itself at the end of the ordeal was undecided?

The system message did not appear after the phrase that the compensation for the ordeal was settled.

After carefully reading the system messages, I smiled lightly and my eyes lit up.

‘It was rewarding to build a relationship with Canary whenever I had time.’

At this point, I was looking forward to what I would receive after the ordeal compensation was calculated.

Perhaps you will get a great reward for defeating an evil god that is classified as a high-ranking deity.

Tower of Trials has never broken the high-risk-high-return rule, so something more to come than expected.

‘Even the dragon has been tamed, so it’s even more so.’

Of course, the black dragon isn’t there anymore…

‘…now the black dragon has been released, but the level of compensation will still go up. maybe.’

Even if there is no black dragon nearby, achievements related to this will be applied to the reward.

At least considering the work he had done so far, there was no way the reward would be set low.

And that was when I was smiling at him.

“In the end, this bloody war has come to an end…”

Before I knew it, Canary called out, putting the blood-stained knife back into its scabbard.

“It took a really long time.”

She continued as she looked at the meadow, where only ashes were left.

“Many kingdoms were destroyed by fanatics, and the empire had to go through endless battles.”

The tone is tinged with emotions, as if thinking about the past.

“Until you show up.”

Canary said with her red eyes shining.

“Everything that has not been resolved so far has been resolved at once with your appearance.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“Whoops. You’re saying something out of your mind. You probably know that you did it anyway, right?”

“…”

Knowing that it was not actually wrong, I kept my mouth shut.

Anyway, even if I said no now, it would not be humility but meaningless denial.

I’d rather keep my mouth shut and listen to what she had to say.

“Because of you, I could have come this far.”

The canary’s silver hair swayed in the fair wind, and a refreshing tone continued.

“A letter came from the Empire.”

“Correspondence…?”

“Yes correspondence. The letter announcing that the next emperor has been appointed. And you know who will inherit the throne, needless to say.”

“…”

“Didn’t you tell me then?”

Suddenly, the corner of her mouth was tinged with a bright smile.

“You said you would definitely make me emperor.”

And…

“So, I really wanted to tell you this.”

next moment.

“Han Seong-yoon.”

Canary said in a tone filled with expectations, her red eyes shining.

“Wouldn’t you like to go back to the empire together?”

Her face was reddish, perhaps because of the sunset light.

“Even if he becomes emperor later, he will have to go through many hurdles.”

“…”

“Can you stay by my side until then? I… want to be with you. I want to know more and more about each other.”

“That’s…”

“Don’t you like it?”

And at her question, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

“…”

I know.

‘It’s fake.’

That this is an illusion that will collapse in an instant anyway.

The canary in front of her was a different person from the Tower Manager, the Iron Blood Lord.

Perhaps the growth process itself would be greatly different, and in fact, unlike the iron-blooded monarch, the emotional expression was diverse and the authoritative tone was not very deep yet.

And most importantly, she is just an illusion.

‘…After the special contract ordeal is over, I won’t be able to see your face anymore.’

But…

‘…then why do I keep getting so concerned?’

That’s why I was frustrated without knowing why.

I didn’t like the relationship I had built up until now with her and the whole world disappearing.

However, despite denying it, nothing has changed in this place.

At least until we reached the top of the tower.

Not even that.

‘Will something change when I reach the final floor?’

Even if it is a godhead, it cannot change the world that has already reached its end.

But even if you reach the end of the tower, will something change?

Can a manager’s secret wish really become a reality?

I couldn’t know anything…

but I couldn’t put off the answer any longer.

“I…”

Then I told Canary the answer I had decided on.

In an instant, her face visibly brightened and emotions of joy surged.

But that’s what’s allowed.

Suddenly, the world is distorted and dyed black.

It is as if the world itself has lost time and color.

‘ah.’

It’s nothing else…

?Complete calculation of compensation.?

?Reward is given according to the Iron-Blooded Lord’s emotional state.?

?As a reward for breaking through the special contract ordeal, ‘Tome of Divine Replica (EX)’ is sent to your inventory. It will be done.?

?As an additional breakthrough reward for the special contract ordeal, the ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (SSS+)’ will be sent to your inventory
