Episode 67
“What the heck is this…”
Damian looked down at his palm as he saw the numerous messages floating in front of him.
A faint circular pattern remained on the palm.
At first glance, it looks like Shanskrit, and it also looks like characters that have some kind of shamanistic effect.
[Notice: The rune page opens.]
“…Hmm?”
Tring!
And at the same time as Damian’s < Book of the Black Oath Calling the End > appeared by itself, a schematic drawing in the form of a tree he hadn’t seen before.
I could see it being drawn on the blank page of < The Book of the Black Oath Calling the End >.
‘The Tree of Sephiroth?’
I didn’t know what the heck this meant, but for Damian, who isn’t a huge ignorant of the occult, given his 10 years of gameplay and prior research knowledge.
It was not difficult to infer that the schemes now engraved on the blank pages of < The Book of the Black Oath Calling the End > were similar to the patterns used in Kabbalah, a mystic sect of Judaism.
“The Seven Deadly Sins. that’s its name It is also a force that you have to regain.”
“The powers I need to get back?”
“okay. Even to control it in you.”
Poof!
Karen nodded at Damian.
It was as if he could see everything inside him.
“The seven deadly sins are the seven evils of the beginning under Balak. Unlike the guy who is trapped behind the scenes, they definitely exist in this world and plot some kind of work with their own apostles to bring Balak out of the backside.”
“What you killed was one of the seven apostles of the Cross Dawn, who received power from the Seven Deadly Sins.”
“Besides, it’s just one of the many bodies of a bastard that’s not the main body.”
“What you have done will be nothing more than a priming water to bring them to the surface.”
“To them, this is just a broken one of the many swords in the forge.”
“It’s as if I’m interested in an interesting being called you.”
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that the situation you are in right now is being watched by the Crusades.”
“However, all the darkness in this world begins with Shaka-sama and returns to Shaka-sama.”
“So, as the one who inherits the end and the agent, you are.”
“Finally, with their power, at the same time as being perfect.”
“The darkness within you will also be able to do as it pleases.”
“Originally, darkness is something that devours everything—”
“Because they will eat each other and be eaten, and the three will be called out.”
“…”
Damian looked down at the < Book of the Black Oath that Called the End > at Kiran’s words.
Indeed, as he said, one of the seven circles was glowing in a faint color.
Although most of the seven deadly sins and the Crusades that Karen talked about were things I couldn’t understand right away.
Even if Damian put all of that aside, this < rune page > in front of his eyes is the tree of septem peccata capitales completed with Aleister’s alter ego and the apostles of the Cross Dawn, which he slain in the lake of oblivion. that I understood
“Then the reason why Master sent me… is a kind of atrocious prescription.”
“I could see something like that.”
“What exactly will happen when I finish this?”
“You may not know it, but you will gain the power to master the lord behind the scenes. Of course you have to be careful not to be eaten by that thing inside you.”
Wasak!
At Damian’s question, Karen chewed and swallowed all the remaining apples.
It was simple logic.
Suppressing or devouring the power of the demon king Abraxas with the darkness of the same rank.
Kiren didn’t know how much Abraxas power Damian had, but at least he knew what darkness was comparable to him.
Due to the dark nature of devouring each other and making them their own, they thought that the power of Abraxas, the demon king, could also be solved with JJ’s method.
Damian’s penalty was the same.
Usually, those who have power that they are unaware of or unable to handle tend to express that power outward due to some occasion.
Kiren, who doesn’t know that those words mean runaway or destruction, just as if his disciple was crushed by the darkness and couldn’t exert proper strength.
On the contrary, it could not be eroded by that power and made to suffer miserable words.
“It’s going to be a pretty tough journey.”
“I guess so. Someone forcibly threw it into the limbs.”
“Didn’t you survive anyway? I even killed him.”
“It is. It’s not what the person who threw it to the limb would say.”
“Have you seen this snake-like tongue? Are you saying that the old lady’s methods are wrong now?”
“Heeek?”
Crunchy!
Damian shrugged and Karen rose from her rocking chair.
Yes, the sound of snapping the knuckles was a bonus.
It was not directly spoken, but it was a threat and warning that was clear enough to know without having to do so.
‘I won’t be easily beaten this time…!’
Whoa!
And the moment when Damian instinctively tried to raise the mana of his whole body without realizing it while watching Kiren approaching him.
“Take it.”
“…?”
Poof!
Eventually, Karen put her hand in her pocket as if it had never happened before, and threw something insinuatingly at Damian.
“Eh.”
It was a silvery, dark ring that looked like two snakes wrapped around each other.
“It is an object that detects evil spirits. If unclean energy appears around you, the snake’s eyes will turn red. You can see their approach with that.”
“aha?”
“That will be your milestone.”
As Damian stared at the ring, Karen turned.
Beyond the inn window, the scenery of the Kingdom of Terra spread out.
The numerous buildings under the silver castle walls and the expansive expanse above them are as vast as the blue sea.
“Dark clouds.”
“yes?”
However, despite Damian’s questioning, Kiren looked at the two faint moons floating in the blue sky and deliberately narrowed his eyes and put his hands behind his back.
“then.”
Wow!
Eventually, Kiren turned into a handful of light in front of Damian’s eyes.
* * *
“Excellent.”
Damian looked out the window after Karen had disappeared and lay down on the bed.
In front of his eyes, a small ring was held between his thumb and index finger.
A dark silver ring in the shape of two snakes that Keren threw to her saying it would be a milestone.
[Tessaling]
Classification: Ring
Rating: Hero
Options: Defense +10 Magic Resistance +35 Intelligence +66 Skill Power Increase +35%
*This ring turns red when it detects evil energy.
“…is this crazy?”
And Damian found out that the ring Karen gave him was not just a compass, but a ring boasting hero-level abilities.
Unknowingly, I had to open my eyes wide and scream.
“Wasn’t this nobleman beggar? Where did you get such a precious thing…”
“Pia? Is that expensive, master?”
“If I sell it, will I buy at least one sedan?”
“What is a sedan, master?”
“There is such a thing, dude.”
Just as Damian had told Moongchi, it was no exaggeration to say that the value of < Tesaring > given to him by Karen was 10 million won.
In addition…
[Notice: Rune page opens.]
[Notice: The rune’s effect increases as fragments are collected.]
[Notice: The full power of the rune is released when all fragments are collected.]
[Current Number of runes collected: 1]
[Notice: Do you want to check the effect of the runes?]
“Yes.”
After Damian broke the < Sign of Heresy >, Damian felt a dark aura like a thread of energy swirling around his mana scepter with the power he gave him.
I narrowed my eyes towards the half-transparent system window.
From the previous explanation, I knew that the < Rune Page > was a tree-shaped diagram.
What effect does it have and how much effort does it take?
Damian didn’t know anything about it.
[Rune of Pride – Blasphemy Eye] (0/4)
[Rune of Greed – Grabbing Hand] (1/4)
– Extorts a certain amount of HP/MP on hit.
[Rune of Jealousy – Separating Tongue] (0/4)
[Rune of Fury – Horn of Vengeance] (0/4)
[Rune of Lust – Tempting Wings] (0/4)
[Rune of Gluttony – Devouring Mouth ] (0/4)
[Rune of Sloth – Lazy Feet] (0/4)
….
“…This is crazy too.”
Damian opened his mouth as he read the detailed information of < Rune Page >.
It was the first page I ever saw.
A huge amount of talents, with 7 individual runes, each with 4 properties, for a total of 28 properties.
Of course, I didn’t know how long it would take to complete all of these Rune Pages, but the more I went up, the more powerful it was.
It was only natural that Demian would be the flagship, since the characteristics of the first stage were comparable to those of < Energy Drain >.
“Isn’t that too deceitful? Is this only the first characteristic?”
“Isn’t it nice to buy it, master!”
In other words, compared to the characteristics of other classes, Damian has only 5 to 10 at the moment he completes this < rune page >.
It was like getting a ridiculous character with more than twice that number of attributes.
“Yeah, but… you might have to work hard to get something out of it. Even the alter ego of Aleister or something was like that.”
“That’s right, master!”
Damian bit his lip as he spoke, and a wad flew overhead.
That, too, was not wrong.
For example, many classes that exist in AC usually unlock new powers such as < Characteristic Page > when they reach a certain level, such as mastering a skill.
Considering that it is a crude (?) upgrade, such as increasing some of the damage of existing skills or increasing range.
This < rune page > obtained by Damian could be said to be a characteristic page that was no different from a cheat key.
That was the reason why he was worried about difficulty.
There was a time when he had to use a skill 10,000 times to open the characteristics of one skill when he was a god of death.
Or it was because there were scattered prerequisites that you would only see in a martial arts movie where you had to train your fists in hot sand for a year.
In addition, if it is a user with a unique class higher than the rarity level, the difficulty gradually becomes more difficult to the extent that there are even people who broadcast their characteristic opening as content.
It was a nobleman to go on an adventure in search of a family’s vision or to farm materials to upgrade a treasure trove.
[Notice: The achievement requirements for < Rune of Greed - Grabbing Hand > have been updated.]
[Requirements 2/4: Kill Aleister’s alter ego 2 times]
[Requirement 3/4: Aleister, the Apostle of Greed ‘s alter ego 3 times]
….
What’s more, it has a rare class where it has to defeat the apostles of the Crusades who serve Balak, the lord of the other side, and the protagonist of the main stream, who has to fight against the family of the six gods…
” Wow-! Uweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
“Why is that, master!”
It was only natural that Damian’s face would suddenly turn pale, and at the same time he would stick his face out of bed and vomit.
“I can’t do X. No, no…!”
It was because, no matter how much Demian was a deceased person in his 10th year of life, it was not something a person could do to be involved in a world-class narrative one after another.
“Oops. Isn’t this why he can’t be freed for the rest of his life and quits the game…”
And the moment Damian looks at his < Rune Page > and gathers his eyebrows as if he’s
serious
…
Soon, a notification sound indicating the arrival of a message sounded, and at the same time, a familiar nickname began to emerge in front of Damian’s eyes.
– To. Damian
I have arrived. Where do I go?
From. Do Min-joon
is a former professional convenience store manager and a man who will become a deceased person to the point of shaming Damian in the future.
It was Do Min-joon, an unemployed person.
