216. The usurper (4)
Necromancy.
This unique characteristic of being able to steal the power of the dead through the spirit also applies to the godhead.
Even in a very special form.
When you kill the incarnation of a god, you can collect the spirit fragments and get one whole god.
Even if it’s not that, if it’s a strong adversary, you can have the authority and skills of the other person.
Of course, unlike power extraction, skill extraction does not proceed with 100% probability…
but there were plenty of other ways to benefit.
Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > or < Last Savior > can also give you great rewards.
‘There are not a few things that can be obtained by killing a godhead.’
So, the battle with the usurper was to do my best.
If you lead this battle to victory, you can really get a lot out of it.
Of course, even if I didn’t, I would lose my life and even my strength
.
But the same goes for the other side.
[It’s a temporary divinity acquisition. Even if you don’t have the level, you can do that. The tower is a very interesting place. ]
When the god of usurpation saw the apotheosis, his red eyes flashed and he swung his hand right away.
[I want your power even more. ]
And.
「Due to the divine realm < extortion >, a certain amount of magical power is forcibly transferred to the owner of the realm every second.
」 ]
Sssss.
At the same time as the system message appeared, mana began to leak from his body.
I frowned at him and immediately thoroughly controlled the magical power within my body.
That is, while activating the power skill, Mana Management.
[The power skill ‘Magical Manipulation’ is strongly activated.]
However, it was impossible to prevent the forcible transfer of magical power.
Even the amount of magic flowing to the usurper was considerable, so it felt like a lot of power was consumed.
However, even if the sky collapses, there is a hole that will rise…
Soon after, I noticed that there is a skill that can break this situation.
Right-.
「The skill ‘Punishment(懲罰)’ is activated.」
「All stats increase by +7 during the active time of the skill.」
「Magic power is never consumed during the active time of the skill.」
「The power of the dragon is on you. It dwells on and increases magical ability by 100%.」
It was a buff skill punishment exclusive to demons.
The best buff skill that fixes the magic consumption value to [0] and increases the magic ability by 100% while dealing with demons.
Originally, there was a flaw that it could only be used against demons….
Interestingly, in this 18th floor stage world, it was possible to use the power of demons with superpowers.
And since the usurper is a deity who has stolen numerous psychic powers in this world, one of the psychic powers he possesses determines that the punishment will be activated.
At that, the usurper’s eyes widened.
[ …her. Fixing the consumption value of ether to 0? It’s a really stupid skill. ]
But that was short-lived.
[Then, shall I go a little more violently? ]
Cheeralala—!
Floating books all over the sacred realm opened all at once, targeting me.
I knew to some extent from previous conversations what these numerous books with various characteristics were.
The usurper said that all of these books were symbols of the numerous abilities he had stolen.
I’m guessing that books can probably exert several supernatural powers.
‘Then there’s no need to worry.’
However, among the psychic powers of this world, the power that is activated through the medium of books was not so much of a concern.
That’s also true…
「The skill ‘Endless Spell Devour’ is activated.]
「All spells that touch the body are converted into pure magical power.」 Because
I have a natural enemy skill called Spell Devour, a manifestation-type ability.
Kwaaang-!
In reality, the various abilities ejected from the bookshelf didn’t even do me any meaningful damage.
Fire, ice, rays, gusts, sound waves, etc…
Indeed, various supernatural powers unfolded, but none of them could hurt.
At that time, Damcheonwu, who had been quiet until now, spoke as if muttering.
-It’s heterogeneous.
He spoke suspiciously.
―It’s an extremely passive way of fighting, despite showing great greed. I don’t know why, but the god of usurpation seems to be exploring your ability.
‘That’s right, isn’t it? We didn’t even lose that much.’
To be honest, I did not intend to hide a certain amount of defeat, but to reveal it.
After all, I have quite a few abilities left.
Even if a countermeasure was established, there were not too few ways to break the countermeasure.
However, Dam Chun-wu said as if he was embarrassed.
-That’s right, though. It seems that he has other ulterior motives, though. It doesn’t sound like you’re planning a normal search battle.
After listening to it, I felt a little bit different.
Come to think of it, I didn’t use the Divine Authority < Destruction >, the ability to end the battle, and I didn’t directly use the enhancement-type abilities I had acquired through usurpation.
Even if you’re guessing that it can inflict physical damage.
That means there’s something to be gained by taking the quest longer.
‘Then I have to figure it out.’
What he obtained from the giant tree labyrinth was not only skills and powers, but also exclusive privileges for the tower.
「Exclusive authority #K-1547[Information access] is activated.」
I read the information of the usurper while accepting the raindrops without damage.
「Eold Balkan」
「A person who became the god of usurpation by acquiring sufficient spirituality, faith, and legend.」
「Can use Divine Powers < Usurpation >, < Destruction >, < Rule >, < Activation >.」 「
But currently The divine authority < Destruction > has a cooldown.”
“He is currently waiting for the moment of choice.”
And soon after reading all the information that popped up in the system message, he frowned.
‘…I thought it was impossible, but even if I returned, I couldn’t use Divinity < Destruction > again.’
It is also true that he possesses an unexpectedly large number of divine powers.
The Divine Authority < Destruction > is currently on a cooldown.
And the sentence ‘Waiting for the moment of choice’ written on the last line caught my eye.
It was worth it.
‘Did he have a hidden ability?’
Waiting for a choice in this combat situation means thinking about the timing of the activation of a specific ability.
Divine power, myth, superpower, etc…
The power of the usurper is as high as a god, so it’s not something you can casually ignore.
The trouble didn’t last long.
‘Even if I don’t know what it is, I can’t let them use a hidden move.’
There was no need to wait for the usurper’s counter-like ability to activate.
After maximizing the grace of the wind with the Power skill, I rushed at the usurper at once.
「Authority ‘Sword Spirit Strong 劍气成罡’ is strongly activated.」
Whoa!
Dew-like sword steel formed on the twin swords, and the nature of giving an essential blow to the divinity itself was born.
I knew from my battle with the Heavenly Demon that the effect of altering the forced laws of the Sword River was indeed fraudulent.
‘Even if it’s a godhead, it’s hard to endure the change of the law of sword steel.’
Taking time to learn martial arts was not useless.
Aside from not liking the Moorim dimension, martial arts is definitely a great skill.
In theory, if you hone your martial arts to the limit, you should be able to kill even a god with a human body.
However, since I am unfolding it in the state of deification, the power is no different from increasing several times.
「The exclusive effect of the Power Skill skill, Soul Source Demon Sword, ‘Double’ is activated.」 「It
consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skill skills by [4] times.
」 By mixing small skills such as strengthening consciousness, the output became stronger.
Now, the halo of light emitted from the twin swords has changed to an unusual appearance, and soon a sense of alertness appeared on the face of the usurper who saw the sword.
[…! ]
Although he is a usurper with very weak emotions, he seems to have noticed that the situation is not so good.
He kicked off the ground and leaped into the air, and then spread angelic ornate wings from his back.
I think he was trying to drag some time by dodging in the air…
I had a few flying skills.
[The authority ‘Steel Wings’ is activated.]
As soon as the steel wings were created on the back, I spurred through the air and flew faster.
「Wind Spirit’s Boots (A+) exclusive effect, ‘Wind Road’ is activated.」
Then, using the exclusive effect attached to the Wind Spirit’s Boots, the movement of the body became smoother.
The usurper who saw it said as if he was dumbfounded.
[ Air work is not enough to create wings, so the airflow manipulation seems like a combo with no conscience. ]
But that was short-lived.
[That’s more than that. ]
I replied to that and activated the worn-out watch of the regressor.
「Returner’s Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect, ‘Attack Nullification’ is activated.」
「Psychic ability, Chosen Angel’s Wings (A+)’ is returned to its ‘pre-attack state’ by ‘Attack Nullification’. 」
「Returner’s Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’ creates a cooldown of 30 minutes.」 As soon as
the usurper lost his brilliant wings, he immediately began to fall down.
Of course, he immediately spewed flames from his body and tried to use the output to continue the dogfight
.
Intuitively.
That this is the place to win.
In response, I immediately took the posture to wield the sword and consumed the holy power to activate the authority.
next moment.
「The authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight.」
Chow ah—!
[Oops…! ]
Both arms of the usurper were neatly cut off to the shoulder blades.
I frowned at the results that were different from what I expected.
‘Did you detect and react to the use of Sunbo…?’
Originally, I was planning to blow my head, but before that, the usurper reacted to Sunbo.
This is despite the fact that there were not too many precursors to its use.
It was a disaster.
I never thought I would waste a hidden move called Sunbo like this.
Feeling impatient, I quickly retrieved the twin swords and tried to wield them again, but… [ …
even though I don’t like close combat, I didn’t throw away my enhancement abilities and collected them one by one. ]
Paaang…!
After being hit in the stomach by the usurper’s kick, I was pushed back.
Originally, since he had lost both arms, his sense of balance would be messed up, and he would have been unable to properly swing his legs.
However, the opponent was both a god and the final boss of the 18th floor stage.
Chiyi!
[To prepare for this situation. ]
The usurper had already restored both arms that had been cut off.
「The skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.」
「The mastery of the skill ‘Ashen Blood (B+)’ has reached 100%.」 「The grade
of the skill ‘Ashen Blood (B+)’ goes up by one level.」
The wound from being beaten in the abdomen was restored with gray blood.
And as a small benefit, there was the growth of gray blood.
However, the important thing was not the level increase of the gray blood.
I turned my head away with a frown on my eyes, and the usurper smiled lightly and said:
[ Great. Except for the physical blow that uses the body, all abilities are useless. It’s at the pinnacle of all body strengthening abilities. ]
He continued, shaking his light blue hair.
[But that means, in other words, I’m not very familiar with methods other than direct combat. ]
And.
[That will be your fate. ]
next moment.
「Divinity < Rule > creates a new rule in the divine realm < Usnap >.」
「Rule 1. All battles within the divine realm < Usurpation > are conducted as long-range battles.」
「Rule 2. Divine realm < Usurpation > All beings who enter it lose 90% of their physical abilities.」
「Rule 3. When engaging in close combat within < Seize >, one of the abilities possessed is randomly transferred to the owner of the area.」
「Rule 4. Sacred Realm > Most of the abilities related to close combat are sealed within the realm < Seize > and cannot be used at all.” 「
Rule 5. Items cannot be used within the divine realm < Seize >.」
Powerful rules created by the divinity bind me It felt like starting.
There was no strength in the whole body, and really annoying messages appeared in the field of view, saying, ‘The skill has been sealed by divine power’.
Only then did I realize
Until now, the reason the usurper continued the search battle was to check whether I had a superior external attack method.
‘Did you think there was no external means of attack after seeing how powerful it was in close combat?’
At that, I frowned and the usurper smiled and said,
[It’s a rule that has equal conditions for each other. you and me too You cannot rely on your physical abilities in this space. ]
It was as if he thought I had no external means of attack.
[ A warrior who cannot engage in close combat is not very valuable. ]
In fact, unlike before, the usurper’s face showed a little bit of joy.
He probably thought that from now on he would be able to crush me one-sidedly.
But…
[Troublesome. ]
It wasn’t.
「The skill ‘Starlight Starlight’ is strongly activated.」
I immediately created a dark red starlight in my hand, and the eyes of the usurper who saw it opened wide.
[ that…! ]
And.
[You said it was a rule that had equal conditions, right? ]
next moment.
[I hope that thoughts will remain unchanged until the end.]
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!
The entire divine realm collapsed, enveloped in dark red starlight.
