135. Ikkidangcheon (4)
After successfully completing one battle.
Not only the mercenaries, but also the priests serving the dark gods began to treat me very carefully.
It was worth it.
Having accomplished the feat of defeating a thousand enemies in one battle… I
wondered if I would feel like a monster in their eyes.
In fact, the treatment was also tuned similarly.
“Prosecutor Geo can stay alone in this barracks!”
I was a bit surprised when I was guided to a barracks that were in good shape and clean rather than the unpleasant barracks that were the starting point.
I never thought I would hand over the entire barracks like this and ask her to live alone… To
be treated so well in the midst of a war would mean that my value is that high.
However, there was no need for the barracks to be unnecessarily luxurious, but…
Before talking about that part, the priest who was in charge of the guide hurriedly moved.
“If you need blood, you can tell the auxiliary priests. Enough of that then…”
Seeing the priest leave the barracks as if he was running away quickly, I gave up talking.
After a long time, I wondered if it would be okay to live luxuriously.
Sitting on a bunk that was not appropriate for the barracks, I quietly moved my lips.
“Status window.”
and.
『Han Seong-yoon』
『Halo – Ruler』
『Muscle – 121』 『Physical strength – 117』
『Agility – 115』 『Magic – 114』
『Endurance – 113』
『Unique Attribute – Necromancy (A)』
『Unique Power – Skill Synthesis 』
『Boss Powers – Clear Sky Index (C-) Sword Flame Martial Arts (A-) Steel Wings (C+) Iron Blooded Sword (A-) Divine Power (B) Bloodthirsty Deep Gong (C+) Warrior’s Protection (C+) Rapid Magical Recharge (C+)』
『Skill – See Details』
I raised the corners of my mouth as I looked at the status window that appeared next.
‘It’s good.’
Seeing all the stats exceed three digits, it was almost a pleasure to see.
However, he didn’t just open the status window to see the increased stats.
「View the list of new skills.」
Since I absorbed quite a lot of skills through this battle, I thought to organize them.
『New Acquisition Skills: Charisma (C+) [Skill Rank UP!] Alchemy (C-) Battle Cry (D+) Fighting Spirit (E+) Gluttony (F+) Combat Continuation (E-) Casting (F-) Wolf Walk (D+) ) Dignity rise (F+) Rapid maneuver (D-)』
There were many things he learned, but there were not many skills that could be used that far.
In fact, the skill level wasn’t that high because he had sliced up enemies like minnows.
But even so, I wasn’t disappointed.
That would be the case too…
[Inherent Authority ‘Skill Synthesis’ has been activated.]
It was because there was an authority that allowed even low-level skills to be fully used.
「Read the list of skills.」
「Choose a synthesis material from among the existing skills.」
There was no hesitation because I had looked at the skills in advance and decided on the synthesis direction.
‘It would be nice to mix skills such as charisma, battle cry, fighting spirit, and dignity.’
Skill synthesis was a random box where you didn’t know what would come out if you mixed skills with incongruent tendencies.
However, conversely, if you combine skills with similar tendencies, the result can be controlled to some extent.
In fact, there were quite a few skills that I had a lot of fun doing, and even the skill synthesis was indirectly strengthened by the effect of the newly acquired authority.
Exactly…
[The authority ‘Prophecy of the Hero’ is strongly activated.] 「
Fortune
temporarily and intensely increases.」
“Skill synthesis has been completed.”
“New skills are created.”
Maybe so, the result of combining the four skills was beyond imagination.
『Skill – Absolute Charm (B+)』
『Proficiency – 0%』
『Basic effect – Any intelligent life regardless of race will have a crush on the user, and all types of charm will increase. However, this does not apply to hostile opponents and may not be applicable depending on some situations.』
『Detailed effects – Sometimes, depending on the user’s preference, one of [fear] [charm] [worship] is applied to give a special effect. At this time, [Fear] and [Worship] can control their activation, and an activation message pops up, but [Charm] does not have an activation message and cannot be adjusted.” “….” In a word, Absolute Charm was a crowd control
skill
.
As I read the description of the skill, mixed feelings did not leave my head.
But even that was short-lived.
“Because what is good is good… I guess I can use it well.”
I immediately turned my eyes away from absolute charm and activated skill synthesis again.
Then, a new skill and an existing skill were mixed to create a footwork-type skill.
I synthesized the combat follow-up wolf walk and swift maneuver, followed by a skill called the secret shadow walk that I haven’t used recently.
“Skill synthesis has been completed.”
“A new skill is created.”
The resulting skill was several times more effective than the secret shadow walk.
『Skill – Dark Wolf’s Step (A-)』
『Proficiency level – 0%』
『Description – A walking method that mimics the movement of the dark wolf, a spiritual creature in the legend.』
『Effect – The basic gait is efficiently improved. When the skill is activated, all types of mobility increase by 40% and the presence completely disappears. When walking in a dark place, the range of increase in mobility increases by two times.”
Since there were effects that were not originally present, it could be said to be a huge benefit.
Not stopping there, I gathered all the last remaining skills and put them together.
Alchemy Gluttony Casting skills were all put into the skill synthesis, and the result came out right away.
“Skill synthesis has been completed.”
“A new skill will be created.”
I quickly rolled my eyes and scanned the description window for the newly created skill.
『Skill – Steel Eating (B+)』
『Proficiency level – 0%』
『Basic effect – When consuming steel, the constitution is improved through absorption waiting time.』
『Detailed effect – Absorption waiting time when consuming an item . Through this, the ability level is increased randomly.]
Intuitive.
There was no lame explanation, it was just a skill that became stronger by consuming steel and items.
‘It’s a good skill.’
Originally, I didn’t know what to do with useless items, so I either kept most of them or sold them on Earth… If I had
this skill, I would be able to consume items and turn them into stats.
It just takes a while for the phrase to consume it, but if you can raise your stats by eating an item, there is nothing better than that.
‘I’ll have to look into this later.’
After synthesizing all of the newly acquired skills, something else caught my eye.
It was nothing other than the < Soul Ego Endowment > imprint skill that he had stolen from Seindal through blood.
‘Come to think of it, there were things like this.’
When I was on Earth, it was a skill I forgot to check because I was thinking about divine power.
After pressing the blood type slot, I immediately began to look at the skills imprinted with < Soul Ego Endowment >.
「Blood type-exclusive slot (3/3)」
「< Imprinted skill: Soul Ego (B+) >」
「< Imprinted skill description: A skill absorbed from the challenger, Seindal. Grants Ego. >」
「< Imprint Skill Effect: Soul Ego is randomly assigned to the item, and the skill is completely destroyed. At this time, the Soul Ego given to the item has the potential for growth and assists the user as much as possible. >」
Soul Ego….
‘It’s a bit vague where to use it.’
It seems that the wizard Seindal was saving this skill to use it for the magic barrier.
For me, who enjoys melee-type battles wielding a sword, this skill was not very welcome.
I wondered if it would have been better if I had been able to take away one of the magic-type skills he had.
However, I liked the fact that the skill itself disappears after using the skill.
It’s nothing else, it’s a < imprinting skill > so when the skill disappears, you’ll be able to absorb the skill again with blood…
‘It’s not bad.’
I didn’t think to spare < Soul Ego Grant > since I could use a new blood formula in this ordeal.
「The True Blood Demon Sword’s < Imprint Skill: Grant Soul Ego (B+) > is activated.」
Right after activating the skill for granting Soul Ego, messages come to mind as if in response.
“Please designate the barrier or item to grant Soul Ego.”
There was no specific designation.
The soul ego endowment is to endow an item with a personality that supports me.
「I designate the True Blood Demon Sword (A) as the target for the < Engraving Skill: Soul Ego Endowment (B+) >.」 It was
natural to choose the Growth Item, Blood Heaven Demon Sword, since it was not something to be used for a few days.
“The Soul Ego ‘7th Blood Demon, Damcheonwoo’ dwells in the item of the True Blood Demon Sword (A).” Then, several messages came to mind, and at the same time, the
Blood Demon Sword shuddered with red energy.
As if you are happy at this moment.
―…Heh heh heh. It was a long time of humiliation and persecution.
and.
―Ha ha ha! worship! Worship! applaud! Finally, this blood demon Dam Tianyu has returned!
I drew a look of contempt as I heard the humming voice from the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
“…”
A guy who seemed to be quite insane nested in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
***
After the maintenance, I quietly came out of the barracks and started looking around.
The priests who served the dark god were gloomy, but there seemed to be a lot of talented people who excelled in spirit magic.
Even if it was through the item called the Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown, I could also use < Death Magic (B+) >, so there was nothing wrong with looking at them.
You might learn something like how to use the magic of the dead with high efficiency.
However, due to the poor reaction of the priests and mercenaries who saw me from the outside, I was unable to achieve my goal.
“Isn’t that the slayer walking over there? Fuck you, let’s avoid this place. Keep an eye out for nothing.”
“Huh… such a young man as a slayer. It didn’t look like a monster that killed more than a thousand people…” “
Hey, you can’t see it, so there are no real monsters on the battlefield. I heard that there was no change in the expression of a person while cutting
someone’s throat…” The mercenaries whispered and quickly moved away as if they were running away from me.
“Oh oh oh… is that a slayer… indeed a desirable body. If I could make that into my collection…” “
I wonder if it would be faster for you to be killed by the slayer and become my collection than to make the slayer into a collection.”
“Still, the slayer is a good person. Most corpses just blow their throats. It makes it easier to use spirit magic.”
Priests showed interest in me, but most of them flinched at just one look and withdrew.
‘…This feels like a ticking time bomb.’
It was a little embarrassing, but I could understand.
It would have been unreasonable for a country in the past to talk to a slayer who killed more than a thousand people like them.
So, I gave up on trying to figure out the use of necromancer magic and started to explore the terrain of the battlefield, circling the uninhabited area.
Well, it’s practically useless, but it was used to kill time until the next battle.
As I was wandering around such a quiet place, the voices were soon buried and silence came.
However, apart from the quiet surroundings, my ears were not quiet at all.
Because…
– bastard! Are you making fun of me! Why are you ignoring all of the principal’s words from a while ago!
-Tsk! In the Blood Demon Religion, there were a lot of people who were impatient because they couldn’t even talk to the principal!
―It’s rude, it’s rude… This blood demon, Damcheonwu, refused to talk to me…
It’s because the troublesome guy who became nested in the blood demon’s sword kept talking nonsense to me.
Fortunately, this chatter was not audible to other people’s ears, so the annoying situation was avoided.
‘He doesn’t even reply, but he talks a lot.’
At this point, Damcheonwoora wanted to praise Soul Ego.
Of course, compliments are not given through conversation, but through fists.
―I thought I had escaped from hell, but it turns out that this insignificant person has been chosen as the owner of this throne.
“It’s not trivial, I just hate useless conversation.”
However, since it will be a cooperative relationship from now on, instead of punching me, I spoke to Dam Tianyu in a rather polite tone.
-…oh? Have you finally thought of enjoying a chat with me?
“Because now the surveillance around is completely gone.”
Priests and mercenaries were always deployed around the barracks.
I couldn’t have a proper conversation with Dam Chun-wu because of the many people watching me from outside.
Even if you don’t, the perception isn’t good, but it was a shame to be branded as a madman who talks to a sword.
―…That’s absurd. You don’t even know the technique of concealment. It seems to be a child of the same trend.
“Confidential conversation…? I don’t know. And I’m not from the same hometown as you.”
―What is that…? I don’t understand. There were no dark-haired races in the dimension of Ares, Kalian, or Stania…
Hearing Dam Tianyu’s muttering, I narrowed my eyes and said,
“…Were you a challenger in your lifetime?”
-Ha, do you mean that? There was no one who didn’t know about the blood demon, Damcheonwoo.
“I don’t know if it’s a blood horse or what. How many floors did the challenger climb?”
―…It doesn’t look like you’re from the real Moorim dimension. The final number of floors to climb is the 41st floor.
My eyes lit up at the word 41st floor.
Assuming he wasn’t lying, the information he possessed would be considerable.
Seeing that they talked about the Stania dimension or the Ares dimension before, it seems that they are knowledgeable about other dimensions as well.
‘…This could be a huge benefit.’
However, it was not yet the right time to ask many questions.
It’s not too late to go back to the waiting room later and ask questions and listen to the story.
It was only for a moment that he felt satisfied with the Soul Ego given to the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt something strange, so I opened my mouth and asked a question.
“It’s the 41st floor… from the 40th floor, can’t a deceased challenger be resurrected as a manager?”
Why did he not do it even though he could have survived as a manager?
-under! Do you dare to look at this body and live as a tower dog? I can’t even buy something like that. What are you going to do when you live ugly?
But the answer that came back was not very interesting.
“Ah yes….”
It doesn’t seem like the life of the manager was better than what was bestowed with the Soul Ego of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
I skipped over Dam Chun-wu’s words casually, and then simply decided on a superior-subordinate relationship.
“Whatever it was in my life, now you are the soul ego dwelling in my sword.”
-Know. Do you think that I do not know such a thing? You don’t have to worry because we can definitely support you for the combat part.
“Hmm…”
―Even though he couldn’t demonstrate his former power, he was a genius in martial arts and a master of magic. Whatever you wish for, I can make it come true.
At the end of those words, the blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and a bloody aura formed.
And…
―just like this.
Subsequently, the bloody energy of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword ran out of control and started to create blood drops.
“…”
The blood created by the energy of the blade stirred the air around and changed its shape ferociously.
Sword, spear, scythe, bow, ax, arrow, etc…
More elaborate than the weapons created by direct use of Seekers of Blood.
As I was looking at it, the voice of Damcheonwu echoed from the demonic sword.
―Besides this, there are many other powers that can assist you, so you don’t have to worry.
“…I can see that we have a very useful supporter attached.”
-supporter? …Ah, that means something like that tool. shit. It doesn’t look like you’re from the same dimension as the real one.
“I am from the Earth plane. I bet you’ve never heard of it.”
―Earth… It must be at the minor level. It was also recently registered as a formal climbing dimension. Heh, it feels like a lot of years have passed.
It was a voice that sounded like it was lost in memories, but Dam Chun-wu quickly erased it.
―…Another person is coming. End the chatter now. Later, when the time comes, call the principal.
Perhaps it was because he sensed that someone else was approaching him, Damcheonwu became calm.
―Even if that is not the case, the capacity of this sword cannot contain the spirit of the main seat, so it is not possible to maintain consciousness for a long time.
There was no slight movement unlike before, as if the sword had the ability to submerge consciousness.
‘I’m not sure what it’s like to not be able to contain my consciousness, but this is pretty comfortable.’
Well, it was several times better than making unnecessary chatter and driving my mind wild.
“ah…! Prosecutor Geo is here…!”
As I was holding the Blood Heaven Demon Sword at my waist, an urgent voice pierced my ears.
When I turned my head to him, a female mercenary named Reynel, whom I had seen before, quickly approached me.
But before I could say anything, the unexpected words came out of Raynel’s mouth.
“That raid! Battle Priests from the War Gods Cult are flocking to the elite units!”
Apparently, the priests serving the god of battle gathered elite troops and carried out an attack.
Raynel told me that I had to go to the battlefield in a hurry, and I admired him in my heart.
‘Should I call it the Tower of Trials?
Even if it wasn’t, I was hoping for a quick battle, but I never thought things would turn out so well.
One move, two gains.
It was an opportunity to learn the usefulness of Soul Ego, as well as clearing special assignments.
“Please guide me to the place where the elite troops raided.”
I looked at Raynel and smiled coldly.
“I will go to war right away.”
Now it was time to rampage on the battlefield again.
