140. Advent (5)
Apostleship.
The state entered with the exclusive effect of the holy relic was ecstatic.
To be honest, my vision flickered for a moment and I couldn’t keep my mind.
It’s because of the overflow of pleasure that I can’t adapt to.
As if denying me from before, an overwhelming sense of joy dominated my entire body.
This is not some kind of mental contamination, but purely touching oneself.
From being a mere insect to becoming a ruler of the heavens.
Instinct naturally took enlightenment.
Just by talking, the nature keeper will move according to my will.
If you say kill, you kill; if you say live, you live; if you say cut, you cut.
After realizing the magic, it felt like my head was being reset.
Why I wanted to fight, why I wanted to be strong, why I didn’t want to be oppressed…
I didn’t know anything.
Emotion erases everything.
I just wanted to get drunk in this moment, believe in myself, and enjoy the feeling of being on top of everything…
But in that instant, something unforgettable came into my mind.
The scenery of the city destroyed by the dungeon break flashed through my mind.
‘I have to hold onto my spirit… I have to.’
Then, thinking about my parents who passed away, I gradually regained my thinking ability.
‘It can’t end here… it can’t…’
The eyes of contempt received countless times are played in the brain, and the mind slowly returns.
Why did you want to fight, why did you want to be strong, why did you not want to be oppressed.
I could recall now.
and.
―Win, win, win again… Prove your path without regret…
I was able to recall the will of the most unmanned person I saw during the 11th floor ordeal.
Can I really say that I lived without regrets being eaten by these emotions?
It wasn’t.
This was just a momentary feeling, and it wasn’t a feeling that completely belonged to me.
‘This relic is just the power that the dark god allowed for a while.’
It wasn’t even a real god.
The system looked at me and said ‘pseudo-godhead’.
It means that I have not reached the mighty deity like the god of battle or the god of darkness.
so it is fake.
I hadn’t grown strong enough yet, and even this impression could collapse.
Even if the god of darkness had not allowed him to become an apostle, he wouldn’t have been able to come this far.
Of course, I don’t think the skill or power is false like Namgoonghyuk.
However, it was true that a power that cannot be fully controlled by oneself is a lie.
It is more so if it is controlled by another being.
「The authority of ‘Mystery Index’ is strongly activated.]
After regaining consciousness to a certain extent, the Power of Mystery Index was activated and my emotions gradually stabilized.
After waking up from the hazy feeling of being drunk, I realized what a huge mistake I had been making.
‘…The quasi-goddess has also been narrowly achieved. It’s just a few nice powers added.’
Looking at the realization that instinct conveyed, the sadohwa was not as great as the real divinity.
Like Namgung-hyeok’s Sword Gang (劍罡), which we saw before, it can only affect the surrounding nature.
‘…I don’t even know why I was so moved.’
Other than that, it couldn’t be called a godhead because it only had a few good powers added to it.
‘But it’s also true that I’ve become quite strong now.’
Currently, I was able to properly handle the divine power due to the apostleization.
Originally, it was a power that was not allowed, but it is different now that it has achieved sadoization.
Perhaps, like Namgung-hyeok’s Sword River, he could control nature’s magic…
I wondered if the range would be around 70m.
‘Well, it would be better than the clumsy sword lecture written by Namgung-hyeok…’
However, there was no time to enjoy the state of being able to get a glimpse of sadohwa.
「There is < 00:12:47 > left until the apostolicization is canceled.」
This apostolicization was achieved solely through the conversion effect of the holy relic.
There was no such thing as infinite retention time.
It was then.
―I’ll make sure you pay the price for challenging the divine majesty.
Suddenly, divine voices echoed from above, and something was fired at me.
「The skill ‘Hwaryong’s Eye’ is activated.」
I was able to figure it out through the skill without having to turn my head.
I thought about what to do for a while and decided to simply block it.
[ …swallow. ]
I didn’t use divine power.
Currently, I was in the process of generating divine power by consuming all of my divine power and refining the magical energy in my body.
This was also one of the skills that Instinct learned while becoming an apostle, but I don’t know the principle.
I thought I could do it, so when I tried it, I was able to decompose the mana in my body to the limit and turn it into divine power.
Accumulating divine power like that and asking the surrounding magic to block the javelin, the reaction came up right away.
“I use the divine < Darkness >.”
“Darkness devours the target.”
―…Huh? uh huh
With the magic around me stained with darkness, I caught the holy spear that was shot right at me.
[ …Ah, you—. ]
Turning to the source of the stupid voice, there was a man whom the system said was Zerhan.
I felt the blurred memories immediately return to him.
[ …Yes, I can remember now. you were my enemy ]
I did not hold back and gave the order by using all the divine power that I had accumulated in my heart.
[ die. ]
And.
「Using Divine < Death >」
「The quality of the god of death reacts and the nature of death embedded in the divine power is strengthened.」
Nope—!
The surrounding magic power was converted into a single slash, and then Zerhan’s torso was split in half.
…Well, it seems like he did something tremendous, but in fact, he could have easily killed the current Zerhan even if he hadn’t become an apostle.
‘I can kill a guy like that with a lightsaber.’
However, the problem was the god of battle who played < Advent >.
Even though they said they couldn’t use the power of a real god, the blow he showed was beyond common sense.
Of course, now that he has canceled < Advent >, you can say that you don’t have to worry about it.
‘There’s no way that crazy god would give up right here.’
I didn’t think that the god of battle had fully retreated after releasing < Advent >.
Actually…
[Damn it. He was my prospective apostle who did not want to kill him even though he had been reproduced. ]
The corpse of Zerehan, who had been split in half and died, was reunited in the sky.
It seems to be resuscitation out of logic, but in reality it is just a corpse reattached.
From the already divine voice, it was not difficult to guess that < Advent > had taken place again.
Of course, the God of Battle would have < Advent > by paying a huge amount of divine power to the tower, but…
[I’ll kill you with all my heart from now on. ]
From now on, I will not be treated lightly either.
***
「The skill ‘Indomitable Will’ is activated.」
To be honest, even when I became an apostle, the battle was against me.
「Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated.」
「All stats increase by +18.」
「Special buff < Never retreat > is activated.」
「All stats increase by +18.」
It was understandable.
Even though he became an apostle, he did not become a complete god, and nothing changed except for the fact that there were a few more ways to use divine power.
Of course, it is true that other minor abilities have been developed, but
combining all those abilities does not mean that one can overcome a losing battle.
「Using Divinity < Immortality >.」
「Ignoring non-regeneration and instant death judgments.
」
The slash wielded by the god of battle stretched out and annihilated his left arm.
However, the fortunate thing is that he became an apostle called the divine keyword and ignored the non-regeneration judgment with the ability that was temporarily available.
「The skill ‘Ashen blood’ is activated.」
However, I couldn’t believe it and move boldly.
[I’ll cut you as much as you want until you can’t play! ]
It was because the god of battle who had descended on the corpse fired beams of light with his fingertips.
Geeeeing…!
To be honest, the power itself was only a backward compatibility of the lightsaber used through the counterattack shield.
However, the problem was that such techniques could be fired indiscriminately and without delay.
‘shit. It’s hard to avoid.’
No matter how much I became an apostle, my stamina was not infinite.
If you repeatedly activate the gray blood, you will hit the limit.
As a seeker of fresh blood, he tried to recover his physical strength and magic by absorbing the blood scattered on the battlefield, but the god of battle prevented him from doing so.
[Do you think I’ll let you use something like Blood Sculpture! ]
I squinted my eyes as I shot a beam of light at the blood scattered across the battlefield and wiped it away.
‘I can’t even go to a war of attrition anymore.’
I wanted to replenish more blood separately, but before I knew it, the priests of the Telegraph Church were nowhere to be seen.
It was the same with Amnesia.
Both of them ran away quickly, probably noticing that the shrimp’s back exploded in the whale fight.
…The problem is that I’m just a little big shrimp being chased by that whale.
If we divide the way to overcome the current situation, it will probably be classified into two categories.
The first is to split the corpse of Zerhan, who was descended by the god of battle.
It’s not certain, but it’s probably descending by paying a huge amount of holy power to the tower.
I wondered if < Advent > would be difficult at all if I damaged the corpse like before.
‘But in reality, this is very difficult.’
The second is to wait for the god of battle to end the divine power paid to the tower.
Previously, I had seen a message saying that the God of Proof paid a considerable amount of divine power just for trying to have a private meeting with me.
Then the god of battle must be paying quite a bit of holy power right now.
I wondered if it would be okay to aim for that and delay it until it couldn’t sustain < Advent >.
‘But this is unreasonable due to the retention time of apostleization.’
I checked the retention time of the Apostleship that floated in the corner of my field of vision.
「There is < 00:09:11 > left until the apostolicization is lifted.」 It
was easy to notice that the former or the latter, regardless of the choice, the probability of failure was considerable.
But there are things that you can only know by trying.
‘…Let’s make < Advent > unsustainable.’
I adopted the former plan and decided to destroy the medium of Advent with all my might.
and.
– Dam Chun-woo. wake up Both are now dead.
I sent a telephony to the Blood Heaven Demon Sword to raise the consciousness of Dam Tian Yu, who was immersed in the sword.
―…Ha ha ha! Is it finally time to fight! It was long! Finally, it’s time for this body to be active…?
He shouted in astonishment as if he had grasped the situation in the midst of his loud chatter.
―…Is this crazy? What is this!? Why is the difficulty of the ordeal going crazy all of a sudden! What else is that crazy god who descended on the 10th floor grand challenger’s ordeal!
―So to speak, it gets longer. I’ll tell you straight forward. Use all secondary abilities on me.
―No, this can be solved by using abilities or not…! wait a minute Could it be that you have become an apostle…!?
―…You also know about Sadohwa. Well, this is how it happened.
―You really see all the crazy people. Sadohwa is not the name of anyone’s dog, but it’s only a challenger in the middle of the 10th floor… Damn it.
Dam Chun-wu muttered as if he was dumbfounded, then spoke in a determined voice.
-good night! As a blood demon, there is no way to resign from a position like this! I will directly give you strength!
「True Blood Demon Sword’s Soul Ego skill < Magical Explosion (A+) > is activated.」 「
Increases the level of magic power in the body.」
「True Blood Demon Sword’s Soul Ego skill < Thought Acceleration (A-) ) > is activated.」
「Thinking is accelerated.」
「True blood demon sword’s soul ego skill < Small Heart (B+) > is activated.」
「Virtual magical organ that assists magical movement is created. ”
The durability of the True Blood Demon Sword decreases by 0.4% every second.” ” The Soul Ego of
the True Blood Demon Sword can be extinguished.”
came in as if to stimulate
Damcheonwu also started to support me with the determination to disappear.
‘…These are the things Damcheonwu can do for you.’
Until now, I have never been sincerely supported by Dam Chun-wu…
Now I understand.
The ability of the Soul Ego given to the Blood Heaven Demon Sword is beyond my imagination.
‘It’s wonderful.’
Even if that wasn’t the case, with < Thought Acceleration (A-) > added to the thoughts that were accelerated by concentration on battle, not only concentration but also the passage of time slowed down.
To the point where it feels like the world is starting to freeze on me.
However, by utilizing the acceleration of the cognitive world, it was possible to operate detailed magic and divine power.
The sword flame wrapped around the blade shook more violently than before, and the effect of the myth became more powerful.
Even the magical energy in her body had become considerably stronger with < Magical Explosion (A+) >.
Thinking that it was worth a try, I concentrated my thoughts and activated the Pacheon’s skill with sword flame wrapped around my twin swords.
「The skill ‘Pacheon破天’ is activated.」
「The limit on what can be broken is gone.」
You can break magic itself, and a skill that allows you to break anything is overlaid on the blade.
But it didn’t end here.
“I use divine < death >.”
“Death that can never be avoided dwells on the sword.”
Then, using even the divine power to wrap the sword with the energy of death, the spirit became ferocious.
Of course, in theory, my skills might not be the best, but on this battlefield, I could say it was my best.
Concentrating my mind, I swung my sword while glaring at the god of battle.
[Ha ha ha! You think you’ll be hit by that obvious sword! I should have used nature’s magic instead! ]
The god of battle laughed at me and tried to avoid the
sword attack by twisting his body…
Soon, the sword was filled with strong will, and the god of battle began to be drawn around the sword.
Even this herbivore was strengthened by divine power, so it was even more powerful.
[ What!? What is this…! ]
The god of battle exhaled divinity and quickly tore through space to escape, but it was impossible.
That’s also the case… 「The exclusive effect of the skill ‘Soul Source Demon Sword 混元魔劍’
, ‘Double Combustion’, is activated.」
It’s to blame.
[Wait a minute…! I haven’t seen anything like this on the 13th floor…!]
The battle god hurriedly howled and tried to resist, but it soon failed.
Chow!
Zerhan’s body, which had been cut to pieces before, split again.
and.
「Congratulations, you have broken through the 15th floor of the Tower of Trials.」
「As a breakthrough reward, the ‘Nameless God’s Guardian Bracelet (S+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」 「
You have acquired ‘100000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.」
「Breakthrough reward You acquired ‘5000 SP’.」
「You acquired ‘5000 SP’ as an additional breakthrough reward.」
「As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Sacred Orb of the Unknown God (S+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「Go to the waiting room . Please do it.」
Then, as Zerehan’s body collapsed, the message of breaking through the ordeal came to mind.
You have won a battle that seemed like you could never win.
