Boundless Necromancer

Chapter 307

307. Melee (3)

Melee.

I couldn’t help but twinkle my eyes at the sudden proposal from the god of remorse.

If you can defeat all the monarchs here, you will really be able to achieve considerable growth.

‘Skills and powers… and the power of the second ascension obtained through mythology are not things that can be passed lightly.’

At least considering the < Possibility of Transcendence >, the myth of necromancy, it can’t be passed lightly.

Maybe he could have acquired a new divinity.

And more than anything else, you will be able to get the qualification to challenge the position of the first monarch, the seat of the supreme monarch, through the decrees of the

demon realm …

However, at the same time as I was calculating the gains in my head, a doubt came to my mind like both sides.

[I don’t understand. ]

That’s also true, because the proposal given by the god of remorse isn’t very reasonable.

[ Why are you giving me such a lucrative offer? ]

God of regret.

First of all, he has the appearance of a tall old man… but

he is the one who realized that I came from the tower, not enough to see through the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death > in the blink of an eye.

In fact, it can be seen as a strong person comparable to the evil god.

‘Definitely something suspicious.’

Even the old monster in front of me knew that I was a high-level deity.

…It’s still at a level that can be said to be an entry level among high-ranking deities, but it wasn’t difficult to predict victory against the lords here.

Even if it’s hard, it doesn’t mean victory is impossible.

And I couldn’t even imagine that a high-ranking deity, such as the god of remorse, would really not know about it.

In fact, it was.

[ …hmm. Since he was a young friend, I thought he wouldn’t think too deeply. You seem to be worrying more than you think? ]

The god of remorse smiled and said it was fun.

[Perhaps you think this old man is up to something, but to be precise, he doesn’t have a deep mind. ]

[If that’s the case… ]

[Ah, I was just going to challenge the lords here and challenge you to a duel if you lose your strength. ]

[ …. ]

Only then did I know why the God of Regret had proposed a melee.

‘In a word, did you mean to take away the power I had so that I could get a fisherman’s geography…’

But I didn’t know exactly why.

Perhaps the god of remorse has nothing to gain by antagonizing me here.

It couldn’t have come out like this unless it had a special malice towards me like the god of battle and the evil god.

And when I looked at the god of remorse, he said with a smirk before he knew it.

[I hope you don’t misunderstand. Doesn’t mean I have a grudge against you. I just want to measure each other’s strength. ]

[ I think that’s a contradiction. ]

[ Not so much? …Even if you look at it like this, it’s a body that holds the position of the 17th monarch of the demon realm. Measuring you is more of my pure curiosity. ]

[ Curious? ]

[ Yes. I wonder how far a monster like you has reached and how far it can go… I’m honestly curious. So I will try you again ]

And.

[ …At the end, it will be entertainment to think about whether to save the sprout that is you or to cut the sprout here. ]

After hearing the words of the god of remorse, I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Was this the intention from the beginning?’

Somehow, I thought

these were lousy suggestions.

It wasn’t too difficult to understand the words of the God of Regret.

The old monster in front of me had declared that it would drive me to the brink of death and at the end decide whether to kill me or save me.

[ …. ]

Even if you are defeated by the God of Regret, there will be no way to survive.

I don’t know what criteria they’re going to measure me against.

At least in the course of battle, if they find out that I am a sprout that will grow into an ancient deity, then they will kill me without hesitation.

‘So I guess he’s saying that he’s going to measure it like

that…’ But he couldn’t even refuse a melee.

In fact, coming directly to the cradle means that you have entered the middle of enemy lines yourself.

Even if I was going to face everyone here anyway, I had no intention of running away.

He hadn’t expected that there would be a high-ranking deity, but even if the opponent was a high-ranking god, he didn’t think much of stepping back.

‘Maybe the God of Remorse doesn’t intend to touch me at least for now.’

It was worth it.

Currently, the god of remorse has declared that he will watch the situation and wait for other monarchs to help.

In a word, it meant that I would find out if the enemy could be dealt with through my battles.

If so, it wasn’t that he had to deal with all the other lords, including the God of Regret, all at once.

‘They’re probably thinking of moving after seeing my skills.’

It was felt that the God of Remorse was a thoroughly calculating personality.

So for now, I was half-sure that he wasn’t going to intervene right away.

And it was a time when I was thinking about what to do, considering various possibilities as inference.

“To think that the power of another monarch should be combined with someone who has not done so well…”

Suddenly, Alton, who had been quiet, distorted his goat-like face and spit out anger.

“There is no reason for all the monarchs to join forces like that…!”

Alton raised his head and looked around the audience at the arena.

“Heirs of a noble lineage! Give me a chance! …You bastards, don’t we all have to stand up!”

and.

“Because this Alton Lemenaire, Lord of 64, will deal with the dog from the Tower…!”

Soon, the moment Alton asked for a duel in a very uplifted voice.

In Alton’s eyes, I could read infinite greed.

“So until I become the 62nd monarch, I hope everyone enjoys entertainment for a while!”

At most, the theme of being an apostle of an ancient deity, confident of victory against a deity…

a cheeky desire that made me think it was insignificant.

They don’t even know that they are their prey.

***

As soon as Alton challenged me to a duel, the God of Remorse responded with interest.

[ …64 Lord. Alton Lemenaire. okay. Heir of the blood of the Black Goat. ]

The god of remorse looked down at Alton with slightly amused eyes and said.

[You mean you’re going to deal with the challenger from the tower yourself? ]

“Yes!”

[ …then can it be considered a 1:1 duel request according to the rules of the cradle? ]

“Of course.”

Alton smiled and then continued talking while glaring at me.

“…Otherwise, it’s a disgusting thing to dismiss my family’s arcane techniques as trivial hunting techniques.”

Could it be that he had a grudge against the remodeling and use of the black magic [Wanderer’s Vortex]?

“Even if it’s a blasphemous miscellaneous from the Tower of Trial that denies the god I serve, I want to finish it with my own hands as much as possible…”

His words were filled with thorny emotions.

‘…no. At that time, he told me to try it himself.’

However, Alton saw me earlier and told me to remodel the black magic himself.

That’s why I followed his advice and lightly developed the dark magic [Cold Whirlpool] and arrived at the arena by space movement.

But for some reason Alton didn’t seem to like it.

Perhaps, in addition to the position of Lord 62 obtained by defeating Alkaid, it seems that he wants to take revenge for the humiliation he received before.

But the embarrassment didn’t last long.

‘…Come to think of it, does this seem normal?’

I was mistaken because I had fought before with a cold-hearted enemy like Alkaid.

Having such absurd vengeance by nature is one of the common cases of enemies I have ever encountered.

In the process of ascending to a level comparable to that of a godhead, he will be equipped with a level of thinking that can be said to be a normal psychopath.

It’s just that Alkaid is a bit out of those restrictions.

‘Alkaid reached a level comparable to that of a god with black magic, so he was relatively sane.’

But not Alton.

Is it because he is an apostle serving the ancient god of despair, fall, and madness?

At the same time he tended to reject me from the Tower, he showed an infinite greed for the position of Lord 62.

‘There’s no way he’s not a psychopath because he serves the craziest of the ancient deities.’

That’s why I accepted Alton’s absurd hatred.

It would be impossible to read and understand the mind of a psychopath anyway.

After thinking for a while, looking at Alton, the god of remorse nodded and continued.

[It’s a very different development than I thought, but it’s enough for entertainment…]

He said that in a muttering voice, then looked around at the monarchs seated here and there and asked a question.

[What do you mean? ]

And…

“I agree. … Well, Lord Alton’s will, so we have no choice but to respect it.”

“I agree. After all, what is Lord Alton like? He’s an apostle of God, right? Then you can’t interfere.”

“Khehehe. Do you know what to do? It is obvious that we will fight each other anyway.”

The monarchs who attended the meeting at the cradle did not show a very negative attitude.

Outwardly, they are considerate and respectful of each other, so they have an attitude that they are not interested in anything

.

And it was easy to figure out what that meant.

‘Could it be that he intends to use Alton like a lab rat?’

Perhaps the monarchs don’t think that all of them are irrelevant.

In reality, you must be wondering how much power I have.

And just in time, Alton claimed to be a lab rat, so the monarchs pretended not to, but allowed Alton to engage in a 1:1 duel.

[Since the will of the monarchs is the same, I will allow your duel. ]

Maybe Alton thinks he can pull out some meaningful information?

[Let’s fight each other with all our might from now on. ]

Soon after, the god of remorse said that and announced the duel.

Before I knew it, the god of remorse as well as the monarchs were looking down this way with sparkling eyes.

Even Alton was spitting out a low voice, distorting the goat’s face with excitement.

“You can look forward to it.”

Alton spoke ferociously, as if there was no need to hide his murderous intent and hostility.

“Because I’m not going to show any mercy to a son of a bitch who dared to insult my family’s arcane practices and twisted them.”

[

. I will cut your throat and offer it to my god.”

[ Anyway. ]

But I didn’t really care.

He knew that Alton wanted to take the position of Lord 62 anyway, and he was also aware of serving the god of despair, fall, and madness.

Perhaps, as soon as he learned that he was a challenger to the tower, his hostility was multiplied several times.

So, instead of resenting Alton’s hostility and his changed attitude, I licked my lips at the divinity I felt from him.

Really…

[Because I’m the one who wins anyway. ]

I was looking forward to it.

Although the duel itself with Alton was not expected, to be honest, the divinity itself was greedy.

So far, the total number of ‘spirit pieces’ obtained by defeating the apostles is two.

On the 21st floor, there were ‘Spirit Pieces’ obtained by killing Karnar Sagsis and an apostle serving the god of battle on Earth.

So now, killing Alton will give you a chance to acquire a new divinity.

Seeing this as an opportunity to gain a new divinity, I couldn’t help but smile with anticipation, and I looked at Alton and my eyes lit up.

“What is all this arrogance…”

The moment Alton clenched his fists, revealing his teeth as if he was displeased.

[Enough. ]

As it is, I cast black magic while looking at Alton, grafting a new technique onto the Divine Armor.

?The god of transcendence gazes at an insignificant creature and sentences death.?

?Black Halo?

[Now die. ]

In an instant, the black magic [Black Halo] flashes light while drawing a black halo.

“That’s like a dog again…”

Alton widened his eyes as soon as he saw the black halo, annoyed.

Unfortunately, his words did not carry on to the end.

Unnecessarily, before Alton could speak, he used the divine armor as a medium to activate the divine authority with the black magic [Black Halo].

?Using Divine < Death >?

?Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >.?

? Divine < Death > can be strengthened with black magic by [Black Halo].?

Divine < death > wouldn’t be immediately available to an ancient deity apostle like Alton.

Because beings with divine power have resistance to external divinity.

However, the story is different when the black magic [Black Halo] dwells.

“hot! The mighty power inherent in divinity? Even so, it doesn’t reach me… huh?”

Because it can lower the opponent’s external divine resistance itself, allowing them to die instantly.

?Divine < Death > reduces opponent’s divine power resistance with [Black Halo].?

“What is this…?”

[ bye. ]

Just like this.

next moment.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

?Absorbed the spirit of Pandemonium Lord ‘Alton Lemenaire’.?

?Absorbed the spirit fragment ‘???[3/3]’.?

?Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the Lord, bringing her 6.1% closer to the 2nd Ascension. .?

?Acquire the exclusive effect, ‘Dark Magic Control (C+)’ as a special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >

. ?

I couldn’t even resist and exploded.

The end was far too absurd for a formal apostle serving an ancient deity.

In the blink of an eye, a splendid fountain of blood and the scent of beasts spread everywhere, drawing eyes full of astonishment.

And I took it all in stride and said it.

[Now, this should have verified your skills, right? ]

The time for proving something is over.

[If all the monarchs do not join forces, it will be difficult to survive. ]

So…

[All at once.]

Now it was time to explosively accumulate the experience of Ascension.
