156. Lightsaber system (4)
「The lightsaber system qualifies challenger Han Seong-yoon to take the succession test.」
Lightsaber system.
The moment when the divine power of being ranked first gave me the qualifications to take the succession test.
「The Jincheon-ro(眞天路) is open.」
A new portal appeared between the completely severed dimensional gaps.
「The god of darkness congratulates challenger Seongyun Han and claps like seals.」 「The god
of proof warns the lightsaber emperor not to play tricks
.」 「
The lightsaber agent is growling to tell them not to be annoying and to shut everything down quietly.」
As a bonus, the eyes of many high-ranking beings intervened.
I don’t know why this is why even the gods appear.
‘I just want them all to turn off…’
To be honest, I wanted to tell them all to turn off, but…
All of these divinities are neutral or friendly to me.
So there was nothing good about being hostile.
―…What on earth did you do in your previous life to bring about such a stir?
Did Dam Chun-wu notice that several eyes appeared at some point?
He said so in a tone that he was tired of now.
“…that’s what I want to ask.”
Dam Chun-wu, who said something about the candidate chosen by the tower, must be well aware of this situation.
According to the information gathered so far, the ‘candidate’ selected by the tower means that it is a deity chosen by the tower
.
In fact, Dam Chun-wu gave off a nuance of knowing to some extent.
―Since I am a candidate, I understand, but it is not easy to be looked upon by so many gods.
But soon he shut his mouth, as if he couldn’t tell me more.
―…I don’t have anything more to tell you, so it would be better to proceed with the trial for now.
In the end, I finished the conversation without any profit and immediately flew to the portal that opened up in the sky.
「I entered Cheonmu High School Jincheon Road.」
Soon the scenery changed from a place like Mureung Dowon to a quiet cave.
There was stillness in the cave where nothing could be seen and only darkness was present.
‘What are you doing?’
They said they were qualified to take the succession test
.
Maybe this was a trap prepared by the godhead, or not
.
[I finally met you. ]
The majestic voice containing clear clarity that seemed to light up the mind… There
was, indeed, an aura that I had become accustomed to.
‘Sacred.’
It was a common characteristic that the deities have shown so far.
Looking at the small light in the center of the cave, I said softly.
“Lightsword Emperor…”
Although not in the form of a human being, there was a presence that could not be ignored in the divinity felt in that small light.
In other words, it means that this is the god of the light sword system that made this Cheonmugo.
As if in response, light-bearing waves resonated softly like waves from small lights.
[Yes, I am the lightsaber. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. It took a lot of hard work to get here. ]
There were many things I wanted to ask after quickly getting rid of unimportant vanity.
Why was there a hidden gateway? Why did the hidden gateway lead to the succession test?
What was the purpose of making me take the succession test?
Beyond that, I really had a mountain of questions to ask.
However, in the words that followed, I had no choice but to forget to ask the question itself.
[Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve been trying to gain weight, so I can’t be bothered. ]
“….”
Hallucinations?
It was such an outrageous thing that I thought about it for a moment.
Tired of lifting weights?
I couldn’t figure out why he said that in the first place.
Most of the deities I’ve seen so far have been possessors of heterogeneous minds worthy of their presence.
So it was dumbfounded to suddenly talk like a lazy person who is bothered by everything in the world.
But the sound that followed was even more spectacle.
[Therefore, the succession test is counted as passed. Congratulations on passing the succession test. ]
“…really insane.”
It was only after hearing that that I realized.
That this deity is a real madman.
***
To be honest, I didn’t have to be harsh with him.
He would be like that too…
It’s not the Ares dimension, but the Murim dimension, but it could also be an increase in the enemy called God.
But the reason why I had to say such a random thing was simple.
‘I need to know how friendly the lightsaber is to me.’
If this one word makes you uncomfortable, it means that he is not friendly from the beginning.
Even if he harbored ill will toward me, it didn’t matter.
Being a godhead that could harm me only by using followers was similar to an existence that provided a foundation for growth.
Those who borrowed the power of the godhead were strong, but the rewards they could acquire were enormous.
‘So there’s nothing to lose by saying this.’
Even more so, in a situation where even the battle scene was retired, there was no burden to the extent of adding one enemy.
But…
[I’m out of my mind…. It’s poignant. It’s been a while since I’ve heard radical words, so I think I’m in a good mood. ]
Despite the random words, the lightsaber system seemed rather interesting.
‘It’s not normal after all.’
I said narrowing my eyes to him.
“…are you serious?”
[Well, to some extent. But to be honest, I ate whatever I wanted when I was young, so I don’t even think about it. ]
“….”
[Anyway, since the succession test has been completed, let’s get to the main topic. ]
This informal attitude made me doubt whether this was truly a god.
Unlike before, it was only for a moment that I felt dumbfounded at the most comfortable tone.
[I will give you a choice as a reward for passing the succession test. ]
As soon as the story related to compensation came out, I immediately focused my mind.
Soon, the lightsaber in the form of a small light continued to speak in a languid voice.
[Now that you have passed through the hidden gateway, you are entitled to inherit my place. ]
“The qualification to inherit the position is…”
[It is the qualification to inherit my divinity. If you accept, I will make you an apostle here and train you as the successor…]
“I refuse.”
[ Right. ]
The lightsaber was just a reaction that I knew it would be, and unlike other gods, I didn’t have an obsession.
It felt fresh in its own way, but apart from that, I definitely intended to receive compensation.
“But since you said it was an option, there must be another reward.”
[You’re quick to notice. Yes, another reward is this. ]
After that, a necklace with a small blade attached to a rope appeared in the air.
A small blade tucked into the necklace gleamed like moonlight, and I immediately knew what it was.
‘Saint Relic…’
It was an item with divinity.
[Bopae (寶貝) Seomin Neungbeopgi (閃刃能法器). It would be nice to see it as a kind of holy relic. ]
I quickly asked him a question.
“What is your ability?”
[It consumes divine power to summon a blade made of light. ]
“Is that all?”
[ …and the summoned blade will automatically track the enemy when it is designated, and when it hits, ignores some of the enemy’s defense abilities and deals damage. ]
“Then, I will be grateful for this.”
I calmly thanked the light sword emperor and grabbed the island power technique right away.
If my thoughts were correct, this was an item with the same ability as the beam of light seen in the Mineral Furnace.
In other words, it means that I can use the skills that have penetrated the body by breaking through that enormous durability value.
It would soon have a considerable impact on the power, so I had to take care of it.
‘I should write anything that can be written.’
Under that spirit, I quickly put the seomin technique into my bosom, and the small light shook greatly.
[ ha ha ha! Isn’t this a madman! You take it as soon as it is given! Originally, I would refuse even if it was burdensome! ]
“It was originally given because I received the attention without reservation.”
I realized long ago that ostentation and ostentation would not save lives.
So, I had no intention of rejecting it.
Even…
“And to be honest, I think this is not enough.”
This wasn’t something I got for free, but I received it through the gate given by the lightsaber.
I thought it would be nice to have something a little more since it was a reward I received instead of the right to succeed.
[It’s not enough…. There are a lot of things I want to have. No, rather, it was this much, so it must have come all the way through the Gwangcheon Road. ]
But, as if that stimulated the lightsaber, the small light repeatedly flickered and laughed.
[But I like it. I’ll give you a reward for lacking, and I’ll give you a reward for erasing the boredom. ]
Then he stopped laughing in a languid tone, and soon a golden energy flowed from the small light.
Whoops!
Soon, the golden energy made a strange sound and flowed into the seominneungbeopgi in the bosom.
[This is the price you pay for not being bored. ]
As soon as he saw it, the lightsaber explained it as an addition.
[Added a tracking function to the island skill technique. You should now be able to track the target you damaged with Blades of Light. ]
“Thank you….”
[And besides that, you’ll have a little more fun ability. ]
“…A fun ability?”
[Added the ability to find another arrangement of my own in the Moorim dimension. ]
“….”
[If you’re curious about it later, you’d better go. ]
Another arrangement?
I don’t know what the hell it is, but I replied thank you for now.
No, I was trying to answer correctly.
―It’s another arrangement. On the subject of just handing over a collection of thefts.
Until Dam Chun-woo, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth.
[ …Who else are you? ]
―It is said that the 7th blood horse, Damcheonwoo.
[Ah, he was the leader of the Blood Demon Church. I remember. There was a name like that among the candidates I had heard of before. … now it seems that the candidate has been eliminated. ]
―If you know, the conversation will speed up. Reap the ability to search for arrangements imbued with the island man’s technique right away.
I narrowed my eyes at the cold tone.
You’re giving me a reward, but you’re telling me to take it?
I couldn’t understand.
“Why are you suddenly deleting your arrangement search ability?”
―You look like a guy with his eyes open and his nose cut. The arrangement of the lightsaber system is by no means light.
“What is that…”
―This guy had such bad hand habits that many people hated him. Not only the Murim faction, but even the deities have malicious intent towards some of the lightsaber emperors.
“…”
―I mean, I was just trying to hand over to you a time bomb named “Arrangement,” which was collected by stealing precious things from the Godheads.
“Is that so.”
In response, I stared at the small light with cold eyes, and soon an answer came back from the lightsaber.
[It’s a story that fits to a certain extent, but it’s not a function that will only harm you. ]
-Ha! Not to do any damage! There are many people who are still widening their eyes to recover the martial magic relics that have been stolen so far!
[Well, that means there are so many wonderful treasures. ]
―A great treasure is great only when it can be protected.
Dam Chun-wu then turned an arrow at me and said,
―As soon as you make arrangements, you will be exposed to all kinds of groups and deities. That’s why you shouldn’t accept that arrangement.
“…then it will be very difficult.”
―Is it to the extent that it gets into a lot of trouble? Not to mention dying, the probability of suffering until death is considerable. The true arrangement of the lightsaber festival is a synonym for disaster.
“…”
―Cheonmugo just put the martial arts written by the lightsaber as bait, but another arrangement is a real legacy he left behind, so it’s a problem.
In the end, it means that the arrangement search function given by the lightsaber is no different from a trick.
[I won’t deny that it’s an arrangement that might be a little dangerous, but all the treasures that are sleeping in the arrangement are real. ]
In fact, the lightsaber did not deny that fact either.
[And if you’re reluctant to explore arrangements, you just don’t have to. After all, those treasures are dangerous to find. ]
“…is that true?”
-Yes. But you don’t have to carry a ticking time bomb. I don’t know what will happen when or where. that you will agree
“…”
It wasn’t.
I had a slightly different opinion than Dam Chun-wu’s.
“In the end, it’s an arrangement that can be made if you have the strength to handle it, right?”
The treasures collected by the lightsaber are eventually enough to dazzle even the gods.
It was regrettable to let it go out of hand just because it was risky.
So…
“If I have the strength to find an arrangement, I will find it. You don’t have to take away the navigation feature.”
Another arrangement given by the lightsaber will not be rejected.
Because that’s how I become strong.
***
There was silence in the cave for a while, but it didn’t last long.
―…My advice is like gold. what happened Anyway, the choice and responsibility are yours.
Dam Chun-wu said that as if it were absurd, and soon took a step back.
[It’s been a while since I’ve had a little fun. Yes, if you are a challenger, you should have this level of poison. ]
The lightsaber increased the size of the light as if it had become more enjoyable.
And…
[It doesn’t feel bad because it reminds me of the old days climbing the tower. ]
Suddenly, he threw a bomb-like remark.
It’s time to climb the tower
I opened my mouth without a moment to think quickly.
“Are you thinking about the old days…? Could it be that the Lightsaber Emperor has climbed the tower before?”
[Yes, there is. Like you, I once climbed the tower with the will of blue luck. Of course, now I’m just bound by the tower…]
“…”
I was surprised, but not astonished.
That would be the case…
‘Because I expected the Tower to create a godhead to some extent.’
It was because he had gathered information from the tower from time to time and came to a conclusion.
Of course, it was just speculation, but now the story is completely different.
‘…The Tower was really giving the challenger a chance to become a god.’
I almost fell into deep thought for a moment, but there was no time to think.
[What floor is the challenger on? Judging by the condition, it seems to have risen to the 30th floor? ]
Suddenly, the lightsaber asked for the number of floors to climb, and before I could answer, Dam Chun-wu replied instead.
-It’s the 17th floor.
It was a voice full of arrogance, with a thread that somehow gave off a sense of pride.
But the lightsaber who heard it didn’t react at all.
[ …. ]
No, to be precise, he suddenly stopped talking and asked in a trembling voice.
[What floor is it…? ]
This time, I answered directly, not Dam Chun-wu.
“I am challenging the 17th floor.”
It’s not very important information, so I decided to be honest.
It was actually more important to be rewarded than this.
[ …. ]
“Anyway, I have something to say about the lack of compensation… I would like to receive this as information.”
[ …. ]
“You said you were a challenger in the past, so you must also know the concept of a candidate determined by the tower.”
[ …. ]
“I want to know about it. About what candidates the alternative tower decided.”
I quickly tried to negotiate with the lightsaber…
but was there something that got in the way?
[ …Did you say what floor you are currently climbing? ]
He asked a sudden question in a voice that was somehow lost.
“I said it was the 17th floor…”
[…but are you familiar with the candidate concept? ]
“Somehow, I found out. That’s not what’s important, I want to receive information…”
[…even though he’s only on the 17th floor, he knows the concept of a candidate and has built up his divinity steadily? ]
As if talking to himself, the lightsaber muttered something, and then spoke quietly.
[ I will. ]
“Yes?”
[ I will give you … ]
“…What do you mean?”
and.
[I will give you a part of my divinity. ]
Then, the moment when the lightsaber clearly conveyed his will.
[Because that’s the best reward I can give.]
I couldn’t help but frown as if I couldn’t understand.
