141. Hero (1)
「Achievement ‘Resurrection’ has been achieved.]
「All stats increase by 4.」
「Achievement ‘Adversary’ has been achieved.」 「All stats have increased by 4.」 「All stats
increase by 4.」
The stats have risen considerably…
“The breaking sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the grade grows to A+ level (8700/10000).
” It grew up to the point of rising.
Perhaps, if you add in the ordeal breakthrough reward, what you get from this floor is indescribable.
However, apart from that, the state of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was not good in many ways.
“All Soul Ego skills of the True Blood Demon Sword are disabled.”
“The durability of the True Blood Demon Sword has decreased by a total of 9.4%.”
Damcheonwu moaned as the Blood Demon Sword cracked in places.
[ …Are you all right? ]
So I spoke directly to Dam Chun-wu and asked him, and the answer came back right away.
―…Damn, do you think it’ll be okay? Dealing with an < Advent > god as soon as he suddenly woke up… It’s fortunate that < Advent > wasn’t perfect, otherwise both would have been killed by dogs.
[ …. ]
―…Of course, it seems that he somehow miraculously survived, but he can’t stand being sleepy. Don’t tell me later when you come to your senses. Until then, I will not be able to help you.
[ All right. ]
―And I will have to tell you why I fought with God so suddenly… La…
Soon, Damcheonwu’s voice faded like a candle blowing in the wind, and I couldn’t hear it at all.
There were many things I wanted to ask in more ways, but Dam Chun-wu seemed very tired from this battle.
‘…it can’t be helped. I’ll have to talk to you later when I wake up.’
Even if it wasn’t, I couldn’t talk much because it was hard to keep my mind for a long time.
It seemed that Dam Chun-wu’s condition had deteriorated, so there was no feeling of regret inside.
‘He seemed to know quite a lot in many ways, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t ask him.’
I don’t know if it’s because I climbed the tower to a fairly high floor, but Damcheonwu seemed to know quite a lot about gods.
So I have a lot to ask, but sleeping like this only made my heart more complicated.
Well, that doesn’t mean there’s a specific solution, so instead of paying more attention, I turned my attention elsewhere.
‘God of battle.’
He immediately approached the body of Gerhan, who had fallen to the ground.
I went down with high expectations, wondering if there would be
a command left by the god of battle.
[Damn… damn… why… stand. ]
The god of battle still hasn’t released < Advent >.
‘what? I thought < Advent > was unlocked because the ordeal clear message popped up?’
I was taken aback for a moment, but I understood the situation after seeing his condition.
‘Ah, even if I do < Advent >, I won’t be able to do anything anymore.’
The god of battle is meaninglessly looking at me while maintaining < Advent >.
Since the ability to harm me was gone, it was safe to say that the ordeal had been cleared.
In fact, leading the holy war to victory was the condition for breaking through the ordeal, so the 15th floor ordeal was almost over at the point of making him invincible.
I said looking down at the god of battle.
[Isn’t there anything you can do by paying all the holy power to the tower like that? ]
[ …he paid in advance. Even if I wanted to cancel it, < Advent > can no longer be cancelled. ]
[ I’m glad to hear that. ]
[ …I will definitely kill you. Don’t think this is the end. I’ll make you regret that you dared to cross the divinity of the dog of the tower. ]
[ …. ]
Seriously, by this point, I was tired of this obsession.
What is it that has acquired divine power that is treated like an enemy of Cheolcheon
?
There was something I found out through sadohwa.
Those who have acquired divine power with no trace of god are given a chance to aim for the realm of god.
This was also one of the things that I was awakened to by instinct, forming a kind of apostleization, so I was able to guess.
‘Perhaps the god of battle doesn’t want a new godhead to be born.’
Of course, the logical basis had to be lacking, but according to the information we have now found, it was.
[I will definitely kill you next time…]
But the truth is, it didn’t matter why the battle god was targeting me anymore.
He thought of me as an enemy and even played < Advent > himself, and I fought him as an enemy and won.
That was enough.
[ Swallow. ]
As soon as I used Divine < Darkness > quietly through Nature Keeper, the floor was dyed black.
「Use divine < Dark >.」
「Darkness consumes the target.」
[ ─! ]
The god of battle tried to shout something more while maintaining < Advent >, but…
faster than that, the darkness that dyed the floor swallowed the guy’s head intact.
Soon after, Zerhan’s body drooped and black smoke rose.
「Absorbed the command of the preliminary apostle ‘Zerhan Nebia’.」
「Skill increased by 7.7%.」
It was a sign of necromancy.
‘…As expected, the god of battle doesn’t appear.’
The only spirit that can be absorbed is that of Zerehan Nevia. Since the god of battle was not dead, it was
natural
that the command wouldn’t be absorbed…
However, that feeling was dispelled by the message that followed.
「Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the judgment of power extraction begins.」
It was a message of power extraction that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Of course, Zerhan Nebia alone would never be a tricky opponent for me…
[Judgment successful.]
Well, I wasn’t too surprised, perhaps because I vaguely noticed that the Power Extraction Judgment wasn’t purely based on combat power.
「It has been confirmed that authority exists in the spirit of the prospective apostle ‘Zerhan Nebia’.」
「
The authority is extracted from the spirit.」
As a reserve apostle that the god of battle cherishes, the powers that can be extracted must be quite useful.
The actually extracted authority did not disappoint those expectations.
「The authority ‘Sunbo (B+)’ is imprinted in the soul of the user Han Seong-yoon.」
The ability of Sunbo’s authority was simple.
「The authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes holy power to move to a desired point within sight immediately.」
It was a mobile device that could be used at short distances.
In fact, since the use of the power itself was simple, I didn’t have to look further… Perhaps
because I had become an apostle, my insight into the power had increased, so I realized the essence of this power.
‘…This isn’t jumping through space, is it high-speed movement?’
It seemed that I could use it to cross the space and hit the wall alone.
Well, if you use it in a large space, it’s no different from teleportation, so you don’t have to worry.
After insight into Sunbo’s authority, a message appeared in a corner of his field of vision.
“The god of darkness laughs at the foolish god who consumed all his divine power like an idiot
.
”
[ …. ]
Both of them were laughing at the god of battle, but I didn’t know their intentions, so I wasn’t very happy.
The god of battle tried to kill me just because I possessed divinity.
Then, it means that these two gods can change their attitudes at any time according to their interests, like flipping the palm of their hand.
‘God is a being to be careful of.’
Until I figured out its true purpose, I had no intention of foolishly trusting it. 「The Tower of Trials
will punish the god of battle for
violating the rules by ‘no coming and no chatting’.”
In addition to having to pay divine power, Advent and chatting were prohibited as if there were rules.
At least for the time being, it didn’t seem like we had to worry too much about the God of Battle intervening in the tower.
「There is < 00:00:00 > left until the apostolicization is canceled.」
Suddenly, the remaining time decreased and the time for the apostolicization to be abolished approached.
“Time ends.”
“Apostleization is canceled.”
“Divine keywords < death > < darkness > < immortality > disappear
. ”
The gods are gone.
To be honest, it was regrettable, but it is a power that would not have been given to me originally.
‘I just need to get stronger and reach a level where I can use it again.’
It was the moment when I was trying to appease my regrets and move to the portal that was created after the ordeal was cleared.
Suddenly, I sensed a large army approaching from around me, and my senses quickly stretched out.
Without having time to do anything about it, I could see the true identity of the presence caught in the sensation.
“How could this be! Has the savior of the dark religion truly appeared…!”
Secret religion.
A group of necromancers led by priests who believed in the dark gods reappeared.
And that’s with a pretty massive corps.
Only then did I realize that the dark religion was not a pointless run away.
‘…It seems that they chased down the telegraph bridge that ran away, finished it, and replenished their troops.’
They must have thought that they needed more troops to have an impact in a transcendent fight.
It was quite strategic, but it was useless because the battle ended faster than expected.
Even now that the portal has appeared, I didn’t want to be involved in any more trouble.
By the way…
“Oh, the apostle of the God of Darkness…! How could you have forsaken us all this time!”
Suddenly, Archbishop Keneil, whom I had seen before, appeared and knelt down.
Even while shedding tears.
‘what…?’
To be honest, I didn’t know why they considered me an apostle serving the Dark God.
However, it must have been my own idea, and several priests and mercenaries also knelt.
Looking at that overwhelming sight, I hesitated involuntarily, but that became the catalyst.
“Why didn’t you help the Amtheists even when they pressed us!”
Archbishop Kaneil cried out in a fit of madness.
‘…No, I’m not an apostle, so why are you misunderstanding me like this?’
To be honest, I wanted to say that I was not an apostle, but as always, life in the world does not go as it pleases.
「The authority ‘Harvest Faith’ is strongly activated.」
「The faith in you is harvested from those around you.」
As soon as I saw the harvest of faith, my mouth opened without a moment to think.
“…I couldn’t help it.”
Although the words that came out against my will were embarrassing.
Soon, I caught my spirit and rolled my tongue more smoothly.
“This was the will of the god of darkness. I did not forsake you.”
He lied softly without spitting on his mouth, but his guilt did not stand out.
This is your chance.
This is a golden opportunity to create a new myth.
So rather than feeling guilty, the thought of taking advantage of this situation dominated my mind.
‘…I can’t help it. Faith is not easy to obtain.’
Apart from muttering in his heart, his mouth did not rest as if he was hypnotizing himself.
“And the Dark God has not forsaken you. The proof is here.”
“The dark god is a very kind-hearted child and wants to stroke your hair.”
It was bullshit.
In fact, if the Dark God had any intention of helping them, he should have helped them earlier.
However, he had no intention of rejecting the faith that was harvesting at best.
“Everything was just the will of the god of darkness, and I just faithfully followed it.”
In fact, when Archbishop Keneil heard this, he hit his head on the ground with more tears in his eyes.
Not exaggerating, really.
thud!
“That means…! I’m sorry sir! We don’t even know that…!”
It was like seeing a psychopath suffering from madness, but it didn’t matter as long as this could be used for faith.
“it’s okay. Because this is what God originally meant.”
“The God of Darkness is satisfied with your words and smiles
.
”
For me, it was more about taking advantage until I left this 15th floor stage.
It was then.
“…four apostles! Please, I have something to ask of you!”
Suddenly, a woman jumped out from behind Archbishop Kaneil and bowed her head at me.
“You…”
was Reynel Asir.
When I spoke as if I remembered her, Raynel quietly asked me a question.
“Do you remember me…?”
“yes. Didn’t we talk together a few days ago?”
“It’s an honor! That’s why I called the apostle…”
Reynel’s voice got smaller and smaller like an ant, perhaps because of the glares from the priests behind him.
“I want to hear your name…”
But when I heard what came out of her mouth, I smiled.
I can’t believe it was the name that I had something to ask while being so nervous.
I was a little taken aback, but I decided to tell you that it wasn’t that important.
“Han Seong-yoon.”
By the way…
“That’s my name.”
A new message popped up before my eyes to see what effect it had.
“As the true name is known to the worshipers, the harvest of faith is accelerated.” “The
harvest of faith is accelerated, and a sufficient amount is accumulated to create a myth.”
“The myth is calculated according to the actual result and Shinto belief.”
It was a message of myth creation that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
「The Shinhwa < The Last Savior > has been completed.」
「The Shinhwa < The Last Savior > is accumulated in Divine Power.」
「From now on, when Challenger Han Seong-yoon activates the myth, the effect of < Salvation > will be applied. .”
“When you save the weak with good deeds, all your stats will definitely grow, albeit a little bit
.
” Upon receiving it, the divine power increases according to the number of followers.”
Seeing the absurd myth of salvation and rescue, I laughed bitterly inside.
Somehow, the more I lie, the stronger I feel.
‘Could I have had any aptitude for such a thing…?’
…Really, it’s just a little bit, but it seemed like that, so my conscience was stabbed, albeit belatedly.
