112. Interim settlement (3)
「Absorbs the spirit of challenger ‘Han Seong-yoon (僞)’ to permanently increase stats.」
“Muscle strength has increased by 10.”
「Agility has increased by 10.」
“Your physical strength has increased by 10.”
“Magic power has increased by 10.”
“Durability has increased by 10.”
Not to mention the increase in abilities beyond double digits that I haven’t experienced recently…
「Absorbs one of the skills possessed by challenger ‘Han Seong-yoon (僞)’.」
「Acquire the skill ‘Steel War Sword (B)’.」
「Since you have learned the skill ‘Steel War Sword (B)’, the proficiency of the skill will be merged.」
「The proficiency of the skill ‘Shimasensengi (B)’ has reached 100%.」
「The level of the skill ‘Shimasensengi (B)’ will go up by one level.」
It was shocking to absorb the same skill and raise the skill level of the flash sword, but…
Leaving those minor growths aside, I focused solely on the phrase below.
「The spirit of the challenger ‘Han Seong-yoon (僞)’ perfectly matches the soul composition of the challenger ‘Han Seong-yoon’.」
「The authority ‘Divine Power’ is activated by satisfying the conditions.」
“Attempt to extract divinity.”
The power of divine power, which had never been activated until now, was activated.
Even in an unexpected form that responds to Necromancy’s Necromancer Absorption.
「Sacred extraction successful.」
「The grade of the authority ‘Divine Power (C+)’ will grow to the grade of ‘Divine Power (B-)’.”
「Divinity conversion and myth accumulation are possible through the authority ‘Divine Power (B-)’.」
“…”
It was a series of sounds that I couldn’t understand properly because it was a divinity conversion and myth accumulation, but…
I was able to notice the identity of this change by the divine power that beats my heart as if I were alive.
‘Could it be that I can use divine power…?’
Originally, the intention was to question someone on this floor, whether it be the iron-blooded lord or the white crane swordsman.
About how and where to use the divine power coiled in this heart.
But the need for that is now gone.
“Status window.”
After reciting a simple command, I was able to see the newly changed status window.
『Han Seong-yoon』
『Halo – Ruler』
『Muscle – 100』 『Stamina – 97』
『Agility – 98』 『Magic Power – 93』
『Endurance – 96』
『Unique Attribute – Necromancy (B)』
『Inherent Authority – Skill Synthesis』
『Boss Powers – Clear Sky Index (C-) Sword Flame Martial Arts (A-) Steel Wings (C+) Iron Blood Sword (A-) Divine Power (B-) Bloodthirsty Deep Gong (C+) Warrior’s Protection (C+) Rapid Magic Recharge (C+)』
『Skill – See details』
The strength stat, which had reached three digits, was also noticeable, but what caught the eye most of all was the increased number of powers.
Divine Power (B-) Blood Heaven (C+) Warrior’s Protection (C+) Rapid Magic Recharge (C+).
Looking at the total of four additional powers, I immediately frowned and thought.
‘Among these, the only thing that can change the divine power is the protection of the hero…’
It was quite embarrassing because it was the first time that power had grown from necromancy’s command absorption.
I tried to find out why and under what conditions the divine power was extracted and how it grew like this…
After staring at the status window for a while and thinking about it, I soon realized that there is no such thing as an ultimate conclusion to this question.
It was worth it.
‘It’s the first time I’ve ever had anything like this, so there’s no way I’ll be able to figure it out no matter what I try to find out.’
The warrior’s protection was just said to help control the divinity in the description.
In fact, even around the time of the divinity extraction, there was no trace of being affected by the warrior’s protection.
So, I will possess several more powers, and it is not likely that a change has occurred.
“…If we think about it right now, we will only come to useless conclusions.”
I don’t know why and under what conditions the divine power was extracted from within the spirit.
It was a part that I could find out later, and there was no such thing as a bad effect, so I soon turned off my mind.
and.
‘First of all, I’ll think about divine power later and check the purchased powers slowly.’
Instead, I quickly started inspecting the abilities I had acquired this time.
***
Currently, the powers I need to check are Blood Heaven (C+) and Hero’s Protection (C+).
As for Rapid Magical Charge (C+), you can understand the effect of using it just by looking at the rough explanation, so the maintenance was meaningless.
Having judged that, I focused my attention in the center of the waiting room and began examining the deep hole in the bloodstream.
「The Authority ‘Heolcheon Deep Gong’ is activated.」
Pause…!!
The mana that was crouched on the stomach was replaced with inner energy, and red lightning occurred just by drawing out the mana.
Even the level of strengthening the body through the magic circuit has risen to a different level.
“oh….”
And that wasn’t all.
According to the owner’s will, the magical power that lurks inside the body always carries out the owner’s orders.
The fact that it is said to be Geomguini and Geomyeom means that the level of conveying such thoughts has reached a high level.
Geomchi is a basic command that can cut and cut anything, and Geomchi can be said to be an advanced command to break such a sword.
That was what I basically realized while learning Geomgi and Geomyeom.
However, the speed of the transmission of intentions and the excellence of command execution have been replaced by internal energy from magic power, and have achieved a considerable rise.
‘It wasn’t that the challengers from the Moorim dimension were stronger for no reason.’
However, the only downside was that it was a change that appeared when the blood drill was strongly activated.
Chii-!
“Huh…”
A red filter was put on my field of view, and red steam that I had never seen before spewed out from my whole body.
In addition, I feel the urge to go wild right away, as if I can’t control the boiling blood.
Of course, it’s not to the extent that it can’t be suppressed, but it’s a level that can be said to be a bit ferocious.
But I couldn’t help but let out an excited voice.
…It’s not like I’m mentally unstable, but somehow I felt uneasy.
“This can be seen as a bit of a downside.”
I tried to suppress the blood flow that warmed my whole body and slowly deactivated the blood hole.
As much as it was uncharacteristically expensive for a C+ class power, the blood drill had quite a powerful effect.
There is no problem except for the red filter that covers the field of vision, the body’s hot sense of exaltation, and the red steam.
Visually, it could feel a little disquieting, but it was definitely not an area that could be called a side effect.
「The authority ‘Protection of the Hero’ is activated.」
Surprisingly, there was not much to see about the warrior’s protection, which was said to have the effect of controlling divinity and increasing luck.
It was only that he had enough control to move the divine power crouched in his heart.
Since there was no way to properly recognize the unknown effect of increasing luck, the warrior’s protection immediately stopped searching.
Instead, through divine control, I learned how to use the power of divine power in various ways.
and….
“what is this…?”
Then, turning the divine power on my body once, I had no choice but to frown.
Paa-!
It was also because a bright glow was emanating from his body before he knew it.
For the purpose of strengthening the body, the divine power was returned to the body once, and this result came out.
It could be controlled according to one’s will, but even so, there was no special power in divine power.
If I turn the divine power through the path of the magic circuit all over my body, my body simply shines…
Nothing like the recovery period and strengthening period used by the 11th floor ordeal priests could be reproduced.
For a moment, I paused my quest for divine power and thought.
‘Although it can be controlled by will, it doesn’t have any particular effect, so there might be a special way to use it.’
If I can’t use divine power, I still don’t know how to use it.
It was more plausible when I thought of the system’s message that divinity conversion and myth accumulation were possible.
Because so far the system has never given me false information.
If the tower told me that I could do it, it would be something I could really do.
but.
‘I can’t help it…’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer, so I gave up trying to figure out how to use divine power.
However, that did not mean that he had given up on using divine power at all.
“…”
Divine power was not a field I knew well, but it wasn’t that there was no way to learn it.
‘I might learn how to use divinity from the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman.’
A pseudo-god or a being called a manager is a being with a divinity.
At this point, I was under contract with two fairly strong managers.
In order to become an artisan, one must seek learning from the artisan.
Maybe you should learn how to use divine power properly from White Crane Geomseon or Iron Blood Lord.
actually….
「The administrator ‘White Crane Swordsman (白鶴劍仙)’ is shining in her eyes and says that she will teach you divine power!」
「The manager ‘White Crane Swordsman (白鶴劍仙) is said to be able to teach you better than the iron-blooded lord!」
「The administrator ‘White Crane Swordsman (白鶴劍仙)’ invites you to the administrator’s area!」
Seeing me unable to use my divine power properly, Baekhak Geomseon sent me a real-time message.
I thought about what to do for a while, but shook my head and declined the invitation.
“I don’t like it.”
「The manager ‘Baekhakgeomseon(白鶴劍仙)’ is crying as if she is shocked at the contractor’s refusal of the invitation.」
「The manager, ‘Baekhak Geomseon(白鶴劍仙)’ asked why you refused and said that if you come and learn, you will be able to use the divine power.」
Currently, there were two main reasons for my refusal to learn how to use divine power.
First of all, relying on managers can create bad habits.
The second is that you don’t know how long it will take to learn divine power from the manager.
Because I tried to use the divine power that stayed in my heart once, I seemed to know roughly what divine power was.
‘It’s not like you can learn it all at once by trying to learn it.’
Of course I could be wrong, but…
「The skill ‘sixth sense’ is strongly activated.」
A skill that enhances the senses to the extent that they can act as one logic has been activated.
“If you want to learn divine power, shouldn’t it take a long time?”
「The manager ‘Baekhakgeomseon(白鶴劍仙)’ says that she will help you learn quickly.」
“I don’t need divine power yet, and I will learn it later when the time comes.”
“The manager ‘Baekhakgeomseon(白鶴劍仙)’ hangs his shoulders and says he will understand if the contractor’s will is true.”
Looking at the following message from Baekhak Geomseon, I realized that my intuition was correct.
I was able to do some of the skills that could be done right now through divine power.
Whether it’s the precise control of magical power or the ability to recover, skills or authority are replacing it.
Even if it’s not, his pure skill itself has grown considerably while going through a fight with a replica in the ordeal on the 12th floor.
‘Now I can’t spend that much time on the holy power that’s good whether you have it or not.’
That would be too…
‘At least until I kill Namgoong-hyeok, I have to keep getting stronger.’
This is because the formidable enemy named Namgung-hyeok, the Changcheon Sword Dragon, has not yet appeared.
Around the time we parted ways in Tokyo, Namgoong-hyeok meekly backed off, asking me to meet him again.
It was like a hint that he would come to me soon, so he couldn’t ignore it.
Because of Namgoong-hyeok’s ostentatious personality, he wouldn’t say such a thing.
so….
“I’ll have to go to the next floor soon.”
I was thinking of finishing the inspection, leaving the waiting room, and starting the ordeal again.
***
Sureureung.
“…”
I took out the red longsword from my waist and concentrated on holding it with both hands.
Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
It was to confirm the true value of this sword that once even blocked Namgoong-hyeok’s sword flame.
―…When a user who has reached the state of sword flame activates the exclusive effect blood energy to the maximum, the true ability is unlocked.
The exclusive effect of blood energy, which is different from geomki, was similar to sword flame.
It is because it has the same properties as sword swords, such as being able to withstand sword flames with the property of pulverizing sword blades, and at the same time increasing cutting ability.
Of course, the Blood Spirit of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was not properly compatible with Geomchi and Geomyeom, so I didn’t intend to properly show my true value before.
‘But I can’t remain without knowing the value of a sword forever.’
This time, it was my intention to seriously check what the ‘true ability’ of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was.
Basically, Blood Spirit, the exclusive effect of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, is activated only when a small amount of magic is injected.
Therefore, activating the effect of blood energy to the maximum means that a considerable amount of mana must be invested.
‘Then it’s easy.’
As I slowly channeled my magic power through the Blood Heaven Demon Sword held in both hands, the bite came right away.
On the surface of the blade, a red energy like oil began to flow and it began to glow strongly.
Without stopping, I poured more magic power and activated the blood flowing in the Blood Demon Sword to the limit.
and.
「It has been confirmed that blood energy has been strengthened by users who have reached the stage of sword flame.」
Subsequently, the curved letters were engraved on the blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, and it shone magically.
「If the conditions are satisfied, the true ability of the blood demon sword is revealed.」
As if it had only been a mere taster so far.
「The name of the item changes to True Blood Heaven Demon Sword.」
“The grade of the True Blood Heaven Demon Sword is raised to A- grade.”
「Blood energy, the exclusive effect of True Blood Heaven Demon Sword, grows.」
“The exclusive effect ‘Blood Eating’ is created for the True Blood Demon Sword.”
「A slot exclusively for Bloodstains will be created.」
It was a pretty good change.
