132. Ikki Dangcheon (1)
Recalling the words of the man with gray hair, I burned my fighting spirit.
There are some things like that because he was a madman who had staged a massacre that easily surpassed
100 people in London… Actually, if you look closely, I was more focused on resolving the curiosity I had buried in my heart rather than my anger at the massacre.
‘Sacred.’
It was the third time I had heard about divine power.
The god of proof, the god of battle, and
even this gray-haired man….
Perhaps, in this place, the question of divinity that has always been cherished may be resolved.
When I thought so, my heart beat wildly and my body became so energetic that I couldn’t control it.
‘I do not have time. We have to subdue him before the other challengers arrive in this space.’
Activating the magic circuit to the limit, I immediately jumped into the air and rushed at him.
Wow…!
The grace of the wind, instantaneous acceleration, and various body strengthening skills overlapped.
To be honest, at this point, I was confident that I could beat a tolerable challenger in a matter of seconds.
However, the other side also had little combat experience.
The gray-haired man reacted to the attack with his lips moving quickly.
“This Invisible!”
Squeak.
As if it melted into a black space, his new model disappeared on the spot.
It seemed that he had activated a skill, not magic, in that he had even memorized the name.
Even if I didn’t dare to shout out the skill name because I lacked proficiency…
It was quite surprising considering that challengers in the other world didn’t like to use skills and powers.
‘…Unlike the Moorim people, wizards seem to have no resistance to using skills.’
Judging by how urgently he shouted, nine out of ten likely was not a technique based on pure skill.
It must be a skill or authority, or an exclusive effect of an item.
It was when I was kicking my tongue that the situation had become more tricky than I thought.
-ha ha ha! No matter how much God’s apostles are, they recklessly enter the wizard’s realm! Is there really no such thing as thinking!
The man’s words came from all directions in the black space, humming like reflections.
‘If I had said it myself, I would have slashed it right on the spot.’
To say the least, there was no way to give a hint to estimate the distance while hiding.
―Well, even if there is a god in the minor dimension, he must be a lowly existence anyway. There will be only you as an apostle.
―You have divine power that is too much for an apostle of a god without a divine name to have…
―I wonder how your god will react if you take it away.
While concentrating on defense for a moment, I was dumbfounded as I listened to the buzzing voice.
‘I get hurt by playing drums and drums by myself.’
He just activates his divine power, but he says all sorts of delusions as if he wrote a script for a drama.
Of course, judging from the way he spoke, it seemed like he was trying to provoke me, but it was practically meaningless.
He will too….
I have never served God, I am not an apostle of anyone, and above all, God does not exist on Earth.
Since the cataclysm occurred, powers such as divine power were not known, and hunters such as priests did not exist.
I’m probably guessing that I’m the only one with divine power on Earth.
After a while, the other party started attacking me instead of saying more, perhaps noticing that my provocation was no longer working.
Blasphemy!
As soon as dozens of arrows of ice were created around them, they all aimed at me and rushed in.
After all those arrows were fired, blue flames, presumably from fire-attribute magic, exploded here and there.
Of course…
[The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is activated.]
Even with the counterattack shield to block the shock of the explosion, there was not much damage.
A sense of frustration came over me as I was replacing such minor magics with the amount of impact accumulated on the shield.
Because I noticed that this damn wizard wasn’t obsessed with dueling me.
‘…Are you planning on going to a long-term battle rather than a short-term one?’
A long game in a situation where you don’t know when other challengers will arrive…
Of course, he didn’t know that and chose a long game, but it was difficult in many ways.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided what to do.
‘Anyway, the wizard must be in the space of this black sphere.’
The space of this sphere should be quite large, but not infinite.
If it were infinite, the gray-haired man would never have run into me.
However, he ran into me and quickly chose to hide and fight long-term.
That means you can hide, but there’s no way to escape at all.
‘I can’t escape from an attack that can sweep the whole area.’
Upon insight into that fact, I quickly collected the amount of shock, receiving all kinds of magic as a counterattack shield.
And…
「The skill ‘Counter Shield’ releases the accumulated damage all at once.”
I immediately drew two swords and grabbed the Counter Strike Shield in the shape of a sword.
「Activate True Blood Demon Sword’s < Imprint Skill: Strengthen Consciousness (B+) >.」 She
rotated the sword while activating the strengthening of intention absorbed from Namgoonghyeok through Blood Ceremony.
「The special effect of the skill, ‘Hongwon Demon Sword 混元魔劍’, ‘Double Combustion’ is activated.」
Changcheon Yungeom.
The herbivores that slashed everything around were driven by a series of attacks.
***
To be honest, I wasn’t sure I could finish the fight in one blow with this blow.
It was difficult to use the ability of the magic realm that I had never seen before, but it was a wizard who focused on skills rather than enemies.
It is also true that he was a skilled person who knew how to flexibly mix and match skills, and because of that, he thought that he would not be able to easily subdue him.
By the way…
“Keah kuh uh uh…”
After using the technique once, the gray-haired man collapsed on his head and was trembling as if in a fit.
It seemed to have succeeded in blocking the lightsaber, but it was in a fairly normal state.
‘…Well, it’s just the appearance of the body that looks fine, but the way it behaves isn’t.’
I don’t know if it’s because he’s the owner of this realm, but he didn’t fall into the empty space…
Just by looking at his unfocused pupils or barely breathing, it was clear that he was incapable of combat.
Not only is he a very skilled mage, but he also uses his skills without hesitation, so I thought he was a pretty strong enemy.
Apparently, it was my own misunderstanding.
‘It was only natural that the Indomitable Will skill wouldn’t activate…’
I wondered why the Indomitable Will skill wouldn’t activate against such a strong enemy, but now I understand.
No matter how many powers or skills an enemy can’t handle even one skill combo, it can’t be judged that it’s an enemy that I can’t handle.
‘It’s a bit absurd, but…well, this isn’t as bad as it is.’
I approached the gray-haired man as if gliding through the wind spirit’s boots.
And then, I grabbed the man who couldn’t come to his senses and looked up.
“Hehehe… How come a monster like you is in such a small dimension…”
Suddenly, the man’s pupils were in a state of focus.
I didn’t respond to his words, I just spit out my words unilaterally.
“Stop the useless words and annihilate the black sphere right away.”
“The black sphere…?”
“Release the empty space.”
“Dog noise… my how much I spent to create this space…”
Took.
Before I could say that further, I let go of his hair.
Well, actually, I kind of expected it to be like this.
However, there was a time when I accidentally obtained a skill that I could use for a time like this during the trial on the 13th floor.
「The skill ‘Pain Amplification’ is activated.」
「From now on, the opponent you deal damage will feel the pain twice as much.」
Immediately, without hesitation, I grabbed his right arm and broke it.
Kwadeuk!
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“Remove it.”
“Mister fuck! You son of a bitch! Do you know who I am! Doing something like this to a body who will become the future great wizard of the empire…!”
“Remove it.”
Kwajijik!
I still didn’t seem to come to my senses, so I twisted my left arm this time.
When I squeezed my left arm like squeezing a rag, the guy twisted and screamed in pain.
“Keuk haaaaaaagh!”
“I won’t talk too long. release it Right Now.”
“Damn it! can’t unlock it! I can’t! It’s not something I can unlock! It’s real!”
“…Does it make sense that you can’t even unlock the area you created yourself?”
“Why did you say you slaughtered the humans of this dimension? This realm of nothingness is made up of their life force. That’s why it can never be canceled until its vitality is exhausted…” ”
That’s right, if you break the remaining two legs, you’ll know if it’s real or not.”
I really meant to break both legs and actually moved to do so.
I didn’t have the mercy I could give to a challenger from another world who even went so far as massacre.
Then the man hurriedly opened his mouth with a pale face.
“All just! Even if you can’t cancel it, you can get rid of the ability itself in the realm of nothingness!”
At that, I stopped trying to break my legs and nodded.
“Explain.”
Then the man desperately looked at me and continued talking.
“That’s why… This realm of nothingness absorbs all the life force around it. Maybe everyone who stays in this country will die because their vitality is exhausted. And you will be wary of it. right?”
Hearing all of his words, I was silent.
“….”
He would be like that too…
‘No, I didn’t know what role this barrier played in detail…’
I just hoped that other challengers would not come into this space and be sacrificed.
However, the moment I found out what function this barrier had in detail.
‘There is no such thing as a complete madman.’
I felt an unbearable disgust and despised him in my heart.
Could it be that it was a device that sucked out the life force of everyone living in England…
If I hadn’t stopped what should have been done over a long period of time, this could have led to the collapse of the country.
“Ha, but if the function of the realm of nothingness is stopped, no one will be able to come to this realm and it will naturally be released within a few hours.”
Of course, the man who didn’t know that talked fervently about the extinction of this realm.
In conclusion, if he stopped functioning like this, other challengers wouldn’t be involved either.
I heard that the realm of nothingness would completely disappear soon after, so there was nothing to worry about.
「All functions of the magic realm, ‘Void’ are suspended.」
「Existence other than the owner of the area is prohibited from entering.」 「The
area automatically disappears after 8 hours.」
When I asked to stop the function, the result came out right away.
‘Now I’ll be able to stand comfortably.’
The empty space where there was nothing felt solid, and now you can stand without flying.
Even some of the effects such as penalties disappeared, and the operation of skills and powers naturally stopped.
‘They said they were banned, so I don’t have to worry about other challengers anymore.’
After confirming that, I looked at the man who was spread out and asked a question.
“Please explain the name of the dimension you are from and why you came to Earth.”
“Before that, can I make a suggestion? It’s sure to be of some help to you and your God…”
“Answer me.”
“Ah, I am from Ares, and my name is Seindal! In the small dimension, so on Earth… to receive the faith as you expected…”
“What does it mean to receive the faith?”
“what? You came to me without knowing that…”
I stepped on the left leg of Seindal just before he finished his speech as if he was dumbfounded.
“Wait a minute! I will tell you! I’ll tell you! Get that leg removed!”
“Stop talking nonsense and answer.”
“…At a hidden ancient ruin, I read an ancient document that says that an outstanding mage or knight can break through the wall of skill improvement through faith.”
“…”
“It is said that divine power is accumulated in the heart with a circle through people’s religious beliefs, and through that, a higher level wizard can reach the level of an archmage…” “That and genocide
. What does this matter?”
“…Fear of the absolute is also a kind of faith, so it was judged that it was more efficient to instill fear than to save people.”
“Crazy.”
I looked at him with cold eyes and activated the Fire Dragon Eye.
「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ detects that there is no lie in the opponent’s words.」
It wasn’t a lie, but that’s why contempt welled up even more.
‘You tried to destroy a country just because you could improve your skills?’
It was absurd, but to be honest, his judgment was not wrong.
I was able to tell because it actually had divine power.
As he said, if you acquire divine power, you will be able to become a very powerful wizard.
But I wondered why it was necessary to gain faith in this way.
Divine power can certainly be obtained by believing in other gods, so why is this?
So when I asked about it, Seindal hesitated and then gave an answer.
“Because it is written in the ancient literature that you cannot raise your rank as a wizard with divine power that has traces of other gods…”
To summarize what Seindal said afterwards, it was this.
Raising the level of the circle, which is classified into a total of nine levels, is only possible with pure divine power.
So, in order to reach the level of the 6th circle, which is called the level of a great wizard, he came to a small dimension that seemed to have no gods.
However, contrary to his expectations, there was a variable like me, so he couldn’t gather his faith, and in the end, he was in danger of dying.
Now that you’ve heard all you need to hear, it’s time to ask you one final question.
“…the last question. Do you know about the God of Proof and the God of Battle?”
To be honest, there was nothing more curious than the existence of a god of proof and a god of battle.
However, I didn’t expect much because I thought that this guy couldn’t know that much… “I
don’t even know if there is such a god…”
I see through it.”
Then, realizing that I lied through the decision of the Fire Dragon’s Eye, I widened my eyes.
Know.
Seindal certainly knew something about the two deities.
It was to the point where I had to lie even after spitting out all the information so far.
Obviously, I felt that the information he had would be of great help to me.
“I understand. The more important the information, the more I hate to say it. But…”
I looked at him and soon activated another skill I had acquired from the 13th floor ordeal.
「The skill ‘Torture Skill’ is activated.」
「From now on, you can use a more natural torture method.」 「
It becomes easier to instill fear, and all kinds of torture efficiency increases by 10%.」
“Such important information I wonder how long I can hide it.”
From now on, it will be quite a painful time for Seindal.
