Boundless Necromancer

Chapter 321

321. New Religion (2)

“You have entered the waiting room on the 26th floor.”

After the ordeal that compressed several layers came to an end.

As always, I returned to the tower’s waiting room.

He came back because there was nothing more he could accomplish in the demon world anyway, but the story of the demon still lingered in his head.

“…”

A truly desolate stone chamber.

Standing there, I stared at the black book in my hand.

Lemegeton.

A magic book that is like a holy relic of a demon that has never been seen before.

And as soon as I saw it, the story the demon had told me began to appear faintly in my mind like playing an old record.

——It could be said that Remegeton is the record of everything in this universe.

At that time, the demon handed over this Remegeton and said so.

—Not only the origin of the tower, but also records of ancient deities such as the god of darkness or the god of dragons are kept. At least you will know everything about the devil.

In a word, Remegeton could be regarded as a book of omniscience containing almost all the truth.

—But with you now… you probably won’t be able to read all of them.

But that doesn’t mean you can really know everything.

—You will still only be able to read the records permitted by your level.

Should I say that this also has a limit like the trial of the tower?

There are still not many records that can be directly experienced with Remegeton.

Perhaps it would be impossible with this level of authority to find out all the secrets of the ancient deities beyond the origin of the tower.

At least he should have the same status as a demon god.

‘It’s not bad though.’

But even so, being able to figure out the beginning of the tower yourself is a good thing.

Seeing without seeing a hundred doors.

As the saying goes, hearing a hundred times is worse than seeing once…

It was definitely fascinating to be able to experience the origins of the tower for yourself.

??It can be experienced directly like the ordeal of the tower, but it won’t be a real ordeal of the tower.

And there were restrictions as well.

?No matter what, this is just a record.

Unlike the trials of the real tower, the effect of Remegeton is somewhat different.

—Unlike the tower’s reappearance, it’s probably just a memory replay. So, there can be no content that is not remembered. That is, there is such a thing as an error.

Remegeton was, after all, a kind of simulation.

Like the tower, it is not really recreating a certain time period and imitating it, but making a simulation based solely on memory.

Even if it is close to the real thing, a fake is just a fake.

Perhaps, if I were to compare it to something, it would be something like this.

Even if it is a sophisticated shooting game, there are bound to be some differences from shooting in reality.

‘There must be something lacking compared to the tower’s abilities.’

And knowing that, I didn’t feel too disappointed.

‘But even considering that, it’s a good enough effect.’

After all, if it weren’t for this Remegeton, there would be many unknowns.

Even if you say it’s an error, you might feel uncomfortable with the contents you don’t remember…

Then it didn’t seem like there was anything to worry about.

That’s also the case, because if Remegeton was recorded based on the memories of all demonic beings, almost all information would be stored there.

‘Perhaps the demon’s memories are also mixed here, so there’s nothing to worry about.’

So, for now, the error that the demon warned about was nothing to worry about.

The really important thing is when to use this remegeton.

You just need to know about him.

and….

“I think I know roughly.”

That, too, was something I had set aside.

‘Did I mention that Remegeton is a repository for records and at the same time can get rewards like the Trial of the Tower…’

It was worth it.

Isn’t it the point where the trials of the tower are approaching the 27th floor?

The moment when the iron-blooded monarch and the White Crane Swordsman could die was getting closer and closer.

Perhaps now you can think that the only way to grow through the tower is through the trials on the 26th floor.

If so, it would have been right to use this Remegeton for the purpose of drawing out all the potential for growth at the end of the day.

“Is the time to use this now decided?”

As soon as I finished my thoughts about Remegeton, I calmed my eyes.

‘I really don’t have much time left.’

The origins of the tower and the truths beyond what the tower wants are swaying as if you can touch them.

I was sure that everything I had done so far was bearing fruit.

The turning point of the story is approaching.

‘Perhaps this will put an end to the entanglement with the tower.’

Even that is the turning point where the end of the story is bound.

And in the process, he felt that climbing the tower itself could end.

Even though I’m still a 20th-floor challenger, I’ve reached the level of an ancient deity.

Even if I compare myself to the challengers who have reached the edge of the tower, I will have the strength to never fall behind them.

“…”

The moment is coming when we can put an end to T.O.P and all the evils entangled in it.

“Is it going to be a showdown soon?”

so….

“I look forward to it.”

Now will be the time to build up your strength as much as possible in preparation for that time.

***

As soon as I had sorted out my thoughts, I immediately activated one of my exclusive privileges.

?Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward] is activated.?

?The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward].?

?The special class breakthrough reward ‘Old Magical Sword Used by an Unknown God (SSS)’ is strengthened to ‘Old Magical Sword Used by an Unknown God (SSS+)’.?

?Ancient Mystery (S+)’ will be strengthened to ‘Ancient Mystery (SS+)’ as a special layer additional breakthrough reward.?

?As a special layer additional breakthrough reward, ‘Fairy Blessing Powder (S+)’ is enhanced to ‘Fairy Blessing Powder (SS+)’.?

?As a special layer additional breakthrough reward, ‘A Flask of a Nameless Immortal (S+)’ is strengthened to ‘A Flask of a Nameless Immortal (SS+)’.?

increase in reward.

Ever since I got this exclusive privilege, all the rewards I’ve gotten from the tower have gone up to a higher level.

And it was no different this time.

All of the rewards of the special class trials were going up one by one.

Only then did I open my inventory and check the newly acquired rewards one by one.

Also very carefully.

“An old demonic sword wielded by an unknown god”

?Rating: SSS+?

?Reaction speed +77%?

?Attack speed +77%?

?Divine Amplification +77%?

?Magical response +77%?

“A worn-out demonic sword with traces of being frequently used by an unknown god.”

“Absorbs 1% of the user’s holy power and mana per second and activates divine < cutting >.”

?? Divinity < Cutting > is activated, everything the blade touches is severed with divinity and disintegrates.?

?When using it as the will to destroy the sword, the exclusive effect ‘Keep the Sword’ can be activated.?

?? The basic option effect of the magic sword (SSS+) used by the unknown god can be transferred to a B+ grade or higher sword item.?

??However, when the sword item transfers the basic option effect, the magical sword (SSS+) item used by an unknown god disappears.?

“This….”

The moment I briefly read the description of ‘The Magical Sword (SSS+) Written by an Unknown God’.

As it was, I had no choice but to tilt my head with my eyes narrowed.

That would be too…

“It’s ambiguous.”

The sword itself wasn’t that good or bad.

At least the basic options for the sword itself are fine, but…

I just didn’t like the fact that ‘it absorbs 1% of the user’s holy power and magical power every second and activates divine < Cutting >‘.

‘It doesn’t have much merit for a subject that consumes a lot of holy power and mana.’

Wouldn’t it be better to use Divine < Death > rather than something like Divine < Cut >?

Even if it wasn’t something like Divine < Cutting >, I had already reached the level of swordplay where I could use not only sword steel but also mind sword.

As long as it doesn’t become a conceptual divinity, I’m confident with my pure skills.

That’s why it didn’t look very nice with the divine < cutting > attached, but as soon as I saw the exclusive effect underneath it, my eyes sparkled.

‘Maintenance of the sword?’

as soon as….

It means that the basic option effect of ‘Sword Written by an Unknown God (SSS+)’ can be transferred to sword items.

As soon as I saw that, I could see why this ‘sword wielded by an unknown god (SSS+)’ was SSS+ grade.

“It’s definitely nice to be able to transfer the effect of the sword…”

If the effect of the sword’s basic option can be transferred with this, the story will inevitably be different.

‘Even if it wasn’t so, there was a feeling that the piercing sword’s performance was slightly lacking, but it turned out well.’

That’s why I immediately transferred all the basic options of the sword to the breaking sword.

“The magic sword (SSS+) exclusive effect ‘Keep the Sword’ used by an unknown god is activated.”

?All the basic options of the demonic sword (SSS+) used by the unknown god will be transferred to the ‘Destructive Sword (S+)’.?

and.

Pass-.

In an instant, the ‘sword wielded by an unknown god (SSS+)’ disappeared, and a black light flashed from the sword.

It’s as if something has changed and you want to check it out.

As soon as I saw it, I opened the description window of the sword, and before I knew it, the basic options of the sword had changed.

Only then did I smile with a satisfied smile.

“The performance has definitely changed dramatically.”

At this point, the performance of the sword of destruction is comparable to that of the sword of blood.

Even if you don’t, isn’t it the sword you’ve been cherishing since you selected it as your main equipment?

I couldn’t help but feel better as the basic performance of the piercing sword increased so much that it was noticeable.

However, it was only for a moment that I was satisfied with the new performance upgrade of the piercing sword.

He took out other rewards from the inventory as well.

“Ancient Mystery”

?Rating: SS+?

“The mystery of the magical essence created by an alchemist in ancient times.”

?When taken, magic ability increases by +150 according to the ancient mystery.?

‘Ancient Mystery (SS+)’ has a crystal-like appearance with a deep color like the sea.

?Fairy Blessing Powder?

?Rating: SS+?

?Heavenly powder given by pure fairies to bless good people.?

?When taken, physical ability increases by +150 with the blessing of a pure fairy.?

‘Fairy’s Blessing Powder (SS+)’ contained golden powder in a small glass bottle.

?The elixir of an unknown immortal?

?Rating: SS+?

?An elixir created by an unknown immortal through the elaboration technique to create the strongest external attack.?

?When taken, the skin becomes unstained, and durability increases by +150.?

The ‘Elixir of Unknown Immortal (SS+)’ looked like a small green pill.

And these three items had something in common.

Not different…

“Are these all items for increasing stats?”

It was the fact that the effects of all items were focused solely on increasing stats.

‘Well, there’s nothing wrong with stat growth anyway…’

It can’t be used for a very general purpose, but the ability increase wasn’t bad.

Even though I have become an ancient god, I am still greatly affected by my physical abilities.

Now, if the stats that have grown like monsters go up even more, it can’t be a loss, so I put all the items in my mouth and took them.

“You have consumed the Ancient Mystery (SS+).”

?Challenger Seongyoon Han’s magic power increases by +150.?

?I ingested Fairy’s Blessing Powder (SS+)…?

?Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s physical strength increases by +150…?

?Subscribe to the Elixir of a Nameless Immortal (SS+)?

?Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s durability +150 prize…?

“Is this the end of the items obtained from the special layer?”

As it is, all three stats were increased by +150, and the reward ended.

?Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated.?

?The manager-only secret shop will be opened.?

?You paid [1000000] points to the admin-only secret shop.?

“All stats increase by 20.”

In response, I immediately activated the exclusive authority obtained from the 19th floor < Bloodborne Ceremony > quest and converted all points into stats.

‘I don’t have any more items to buy anyway, so this would be better.’

Even if it’s not, doesn’t the efficiency increase every time the ability level increases?

In fact, with this, it was as if I had stats dozens of times greater than before.

I tried to consume the newly acquired SP from the manager’s shop as well, but…

A system message suddenly appeared in front of my eyes to stop the action.

‘What is this again?’

It was worth it.

“A new message has arrived from the challenger ‘The Wizard of the Clock Tower’.”

The system message that really appeared unexpectedly was so unexpected that it was absurd.

‘Wizard of the clock tower?’

The one who didn’t even add friends in the tower’s system.

But when someone like that sent me a message, I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

Originally, I understand that it was impossible to send messages unless they were recognized as mutually exchanged in the system…

Could it be that something has changed?

‘I don’t know why, but it seems like a familiar nickname…?’

And as I was thinking about it, I was able to figure out the identity of the sender of this message.

“…Could this be from David Taylor, whom I saw in London?”

David Taylor.

A person who met as a team member in the 13th floor integration ordeal while climbing the tower, and formed a bond while catching a challenger from the other world who entered London.

…No, in fact, you could just say that I was one of those people who pretended to be an apostle and ripped off items like a hukou.

But that’s why I couldn’t understand it.

‘Why is David Taylor texting me all of a sudden?’

Although I had previously told David Taylor that I was an apostle, I hadn’t made much of a friendship.

It’s not even to the point of suddenly talking like this.

It’s not a problem that can be known by thinking like this anyway, so I read David Taylor’s message as it is.

and….

– Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Apostle Han Seong-yoon.

– Wizard of the Clock Tower (Floor 20): I am sorry to suddenly contact you with the authority of the administrator, but there is something I must confirm with the apostle.

-Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): …because a new religion is appearing all over the world after an apostle killed another apostle in Las Vegas before.

The moment I read David Taylor’s messages within.

– Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): …the name of the emerging religion is called Cheonshingyo, and the leader of that place is greatly inflating its power by saying this.

Only then did I realize the seriousness of the situation.

– Wizard of the Clock Tower (20th floor): Apostle Han Seong-yoon is one of the faithful servants of the head of the Cheonshin Church himself.

“What is this again…?”

That’s very certain.
