180. Irregular (1)
Divine extraction.
I don’t know if it’s because of building individual divine powers or for other reasons…
From before, whenever I absorbed a dead spirit, I was able to extract and absorb the divine spirit that dwells in the dead spirit.
But I can assure you, there will never be a day when I have extracted so much divinity as today.
That would be the case too…
“Sacred extraction successful.”
“Sacred extraction successful.”
“Sacred extraction successful.”
Currently, the message that the divinity was extracted was floating endlessly in my retinas.
“This isn’t some kind of sacred factory…”
I laughed at the divine power harvested tremendously as if it were produced by a machine.
Currently, I was in the process of collecting and killing all the monsters in the [Dark Zone].
Well, the amount that comes in through divinity extraction isn’t that much
.
After doing this, it felt like a kind of work now, and before I knew it, my heart was filled with divine power.
‘Even considering the divine power gathered from the monsters so far, it’s to the point where I’m at the level of a reserve apostle.’
Is it supposed to feel like frosting a watermelon in a farmhouse on a hot summer day?
The thought that I was eating the sweet fruits that would have been grown by those who served the demons raw like this doubled my satisfaction.
Of course…
“Ah ah ah…! my! My masterpieces eeeeeeeee…! King of all demons! Please contact me!!”
Annoyingly, Carbet begged me as she pounded her bony head into the ground.
Please save all the monsters you cherished.
But he didn’t really interfere, knowing that his life was precious.
It’s just all that loud crying around.
But I calmly responded to Carbet’s cry.
“Noisy. After all, these guys will be used in battle someday. On the subject of just wasting resources.”
Carbet must have tamed the demons to send them into battle anyway… Regardless of
whether she dies in battle or is absorbed by me as a spirit, the result is the same.
So there was no such thing as guilt.
and.
“Don’t pretend to be crying. I can’t even shed tears anyway, so why are you doing that?”
As a bonus, he also blew a sharp blow at that rich man who had no flesh attached.
If anyone saw it, they would think it was a funeral, so it was shocking to see them sobbing.
“If you fake cry one more time, I will kill you for real.”
“…Keep it off. Knock off.”
“The same goes for the sound of holding back that cry.”
“…”
I clicked my tongue as I looked at Carbet, who was trembling quietly on the floor.
‘Anyway, I have a lot of unnecessarily obsessed…’
I thought that this was all due to vain greed, so the movement to cut down the monsters was also spurs.
I realized that I also have a lot of emotions with a good heart to erase the useless greed left by Carbet. Unexpectedly
, showing mercy to the enemy like this…
「You have completed the Labyrinth achievement ‘Heart stained with darkness (Epic)
.」
)’ has been achieved.]
「Labyrinth points +10 points have been obtained.」
「Labyrinth achievement ‘Epic of the Strong has been achieved.」
「Labyrinth points +10 points have been obtained.」
Even Carbet Thanks to the consideration, even an unexpected reward appeared.
‘This must also be karma.’
The good deeds of being considerate of even the enemy who will die soon have achieved the labyrinth achievement.
I smiled at him.
‘At this rate, it would be quick to collect 400 points.’
Isn’t this why people should live doing good deeds?
「The labyrinth achievement ‘Rare, not good intention’ has been achieved.」
「The labyrinth score +4 points have been obtained
」
***
Divinity extraction was completed after several hours.
“It’s over now.”
These few hours were truly very rewarding.
For reference, this is not that it’s rewarding in the mental aspect, but it’s rewarding in the inertial aspect.
‘I got more than 10 skills and I got my abilities back to about 40% of their heyday levels.’
Since the use of necromancy is essential for divinity extraction work, it was only natural to acquire not only stats but also skills.
And…
the grade of this necromancy itself has also risen, and now it has risen to a B grade.
‘It means that power absorption is possible now.’
Of course, it is possible to absorb the authority through various conditions… but
since it has become extremely weak after entering the giant tree labyrinth, it will be able to absorb the authority as much as it wants.
Well, I didn’t get authority from monsters like wolves, but other monsters must be different.
Lich, for example.
“…”
I slightly turned my eyes to look at the devastated Calbet.
Perhaps he thinks that he will be able to survive because he has obeyed me.
In fact, I also promised to spare Carbett.
But…
‘I never said that I would keep you alive forever, so what?’
Thinking of the authority he would soon acquire, even the thought of saving him ran away.
What mercy would you give to that wicked being who would have killed dozens of people in the first place?
‘In fact, I should be grateful for this level of consideration.’
Soon, as I was trying to live a quiet life, a vampire called Richart brought along his companions.
They had discarded most of the equipment they had acquired so far and replaced it with new items.
“I gave all the treasures in the castle to my colleagues
as ordered by the demon king…” Just like in the original game,
all the items in the enemy camp were collected … I thought I did.
In response, I gave an order to Richard to arm the team properly.
‘Looking at the condition, it seems that I was able to get some pretty good items.’
Katherine Bennett ran up to me in excitement and showed me a wand studded with different types of jewels.
“Look at this! this! With this wand, you can give various properties to magic power! how is it!?”
Should I say it’s like a puppy picking up an old tennis ball from the park?
Seeing that look that seemed to be seeking praise, I smiled and gave a rough answer.
“That’s great.”
“Not a good level! If you have this, you can gain an advantage in any type of magic!”
“Is that so.”
“Would it be of great help to you too? Later I’ll show you how good this is!”
I’ve always thought of Catherine Bennett, but she also had a little childlike side to her.
Seeing him talking like a kid with his tall, tall body like a model, there was a gap that made me burst into laughter.
Of course, it was only for a while that he enjoyed the conversation with Katherine Bennet.
“…Sungyoon, but why is Richie doing that over there?”
Oh Chun-seok, dressed in a red shining robe, approached quietly and asked.
“I’m pretending to be tough.”
I directly told him why Carbet was doing that.
“When you’re like that, you seem to know how to be merciful.”
“Uh um… I see… I think you’re very sad for some reason…”
“No. All of that would be acting.”
“Is that so? It looks like the real thing to me, but it’s amazing.”
“I can confirm it.”
It was time to move soon anyway, so Carbett’s guidance was essential.
Soon, I approached Calbet, who was sitting down, and opened her mouth.
“Stand up straight. Carbet. Take me to the stairs downstairs.”
“…You mean you want to go straight to the bar on the 5th floor? You need time to change the layer breakthrough condition—”
“Don’t you know that being lazy like you is just following a bastard named Sir Berhag?”
“I will do it! boo please give me a chance! I will guide you right away!”
“I will.”
He had only spoken a few words, but Carbett was already fast.
I ate at the sight of Carbet, who immediately busily prepared for guidance.
“Look at this. You move well without being sad. I’m sure it’s all acting.”
However, Oh Chun-seok closed his mouth without saying anything, and Kim Seung-hoon, who was watching the scene, said a word.
“If this is also marvelous, it must be marvelous…”
Of course, he didn’t bother to answer that.
***
Following Calbet inside the blackened fortress, a hidden place appeared.
“…This is the stairway that leads to the fifth floor.”
By excavating the floor densely packed with bricks, an entrance to the next layer appeared.
Carbet shrank and looked at me.
“Ha, but the level breakthrough condition has not been lifted yet, so you have to wait a bit!”
Maybe he’s just in case I get mad at him for not being able to go downstairs right away.
Carbet’s worries were futile.
That would be the case…
“It’s okay.”
I had no intention of making him change the conditions for breaking through the hierarchy in the first place.
“Because there is no need to wait.”
Only then did Carbet startle and quickly open her mouth…
“…I can’t stand it! Now hold on! It can’t be like this—”
Before he could speak, the sword of the new moon that came out broke Carbett’s head.
Kwajijik!
「Absorbed the spirit of the high-rich ‘Carbett’.」
「Proficiency increases by 21.1%.」
Carbet’s spirit raised the proficiency more than any other monster killed on the 4th floor.
Even…
「Absorbs a stronger spirit than the user, and the judgment of power extraction begins.」
The effect of power extraction was activated on Carbet, as if the various overall conditions were met.
[Judgment successful.]
As the saying goes, even if it is rotten, it is still alive…
[Confirmed that authority exists in the spirit of the high-rich ‘Carbett’.] [
Extracts power from the spirit.]
It means that it was enough to reign as the boss monster that guards the floor.
「The authority, ‘Ghost Control (B+)’, is imprinted on the soul of the user Han Seong-yoon.」
However, I didn’t immediately absorb Calbet’s spirit and continued to wield the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
Chow!
It was to defeat even a vampire named Rihat who guarded the seat next to Carbet.
Richart died without even dying, perhaps because he extracted divinity like a factory and raised his stats tremendously.
「Absorbed the spirit of the vampire ‘Richart’.」
「Skill increased by 9.7%.」
It didn’t even regenerate because I killed it after turning on the myth of < Vampire Exterminator >.
It was possible to organize the situation neatly without protracting the battle.
“There really is no mercy at all…”
Catherine Bennett looked at the scene and then said in amazement.
“It is natural. Because they were monsters and wanted to kill us in the first place.”
“If you look closely, it is, but for some reason you say it a little…”
“?”
“…it’s nothing. It seems like you wouldn’t know even if I told you.”
“That’s it.”
Although I was a little concerned about Katherine Bennet’s drooping shoulders…
“Let’s go downstairs now.”
Now that we had all we could get, it was time to go downstairs.
「You are qualified to go down the [Dark Zone] on the 4th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth, so you will receive a reward
.
」 It was decided in advance what ability to restore.
「Choose [Authority] out of [Items, Powers, Skills].」
「Choose what you want to recover from among the sealed Powers
.
」 The unique ability ‘Skill Synthesis’ will be released from the seal.”
The second ability to recover was a skill that could secure safety, although it was a bit worrisome.
「Choose a [Skill] among [Items, Powers, Skills].」 「
Choose one
to retrieve from the sealed skills.」
「The skill ‘Last Resistance’ is released from the seal.」
The Last Resistance.
It was a skill that had a history of saving me from various crises, starting with the battle with Namgoong-hyuk.
Well, the cooldown is long, and it’s limited to one shot, so it counts as if there were no fatal wounds.
‘That’s enough.’
It was no different from an essential skill after learning that the giant tree labyrinth was an event involving even the gods.
It was worth it.
As many gods are intertwined, they will consume too much energy fighting each other for interests.
The message from the god of darkness that he saw after entering the giant tree labyrinth also played a part in making him choose this skill.
「Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits.」
「Muscle power increased by 8」
「Agility increased by 7」
「Stamina increased by 6」
「Magic power increased by 9」
「Durability increased by 9 has risen.”
As soon as I restored my abilities, I absorbed the spirits of Carbet and Richard and converted them into my ability values.
It would be a shame if I allowed an attack later and consumed it as a necromancy shield.
And…
「Absorbs one of the skills possessed by the High Rich ‘Carbett’.」
“This is how…?”
Unexpected skill absorption has been activated.
