252. Necromancer (5)
Karnar Sagsis.
A dark-haired man shining with black divinity flashes his eyes.
A wave of divinity that had never been experienced before covered the whole body.
“…”
The god of despair, fall and madness.
Among the ancient gods, the power that was treated as a star was welling up from Karnar.
I was able to notice it right away through the skill ‘Indomitable Will’ and the exclusive spell < Contempt for the Strong >.
That the dark-haired man in front of him was a difficult opponent to guarantee victory.
The moment he tried to activate the apotheosis right away, frowning at him.
「Due to the Divine Realm < Obsession in Despair >, each other becomes unable to fight for 10 minutes.
」
“What is this again…”
Then, reading the system message that popped into my field of vision, I laughed.
It was worth it.
Being incapable of fighting each other for 10 minutes…
as if they were just trying to pass the time without fighting.
I was dumbfounded by that, so I looked at Karnar, and he said with a smirk.
[Don’t hasten death so much. challenger. There must be something you want to ask each other. ]
“…There are things I want to ask each other. well. I don’t think there is anything like that.”
[ Phuh! Interesting. Do you say that even though you know that the tower is not friendly to you? ]
“….”
[ What. don’t be too nervous It’s the same for both of us that we can’t do anything for 10 minutes anyway. I just want to tell you about the tower. favor paper. ]
“Bullshit.”
I said to him with a cold look in my eyes.
“A favor? A guy who betrays his own clan is in a position to make a fuss about a goodwill?”
Karnar Sagsis was a traitor to the necromancer clan.
But what would you tell someone as a favor to a traitor?
Everyone could tell that it was strange even at first glance.
He was silent for a moment to see if the other person knew about it, and then opened his mouth as if to make an excuse.
[ …okay. challenger. As you said, I betrayed my clan. I got an indelible shame. But I don’t regret it. ]
And.
[Because the end of this world was originally decided by the tower. ]
After hearing Karnar’s words, I couldn’t help but frown.
“To think that the end has been decided by the tower…?”
It was worth it.
Things like the internal affairs of the end of the world don’t bother me too much.
I’ve seen some worlds about to come to an end so far.
However, if the end was caused by the tower, I couldn’t help but be nervous.
「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ detects that there is no lie in the opponent’s words.”
Even more so if it was confirmed that it was not a lie with the Fire Dragon’s Eye skill.
It was only for a moment that he frowned at him.
Did you still like the will to talk?
Karnar immediately began to answer my question.
[That’s a stupid question. challenger. I bet you know. What the Tower wants is the exclusion of all divinities. If so, think about the aftermath. ]
Karnar Sagsis rattled his bony ornaments and smirked arsenically.
[Originally, this land was protected by indigenous spirits. They were preventing all disasters like natural disasters. ]
“I can’t believe that…”
[You must have heard the story from the clan, so you understand, right? okay. There are now no indigenous spirits left in this land. ]
“….”
[I lost everything that was protected by the godhead. The population on this planet is dwindling. Extinction is right around the corner. Do you know who this is for? ]
“…more or less. Death of native spirits. It means that the tower was involved in that.”
Should I say that it seems like gears are meshing together?
‘Is it because the tower drove the native spirits to their deaths, and because of that, this dimension was driven to the brink of destruction?’
The story progressed, at least to an understandable extent.
[ okay…! Because of that rotten tower, all the native spirits on this planet are dead! Because of that, the clan longed for the resurrection of the native spirits! ]
Karnar’s face contorts hideously with anger.
[In the place where the native spirits disappeared, the Hermian clan tried to revive them! Even if it’s a monster without reason! That’s how I tried to avoid the end…! ]
But that was short-lived.
[ …but none of that worked. There was no necromancer that could bring the native spirits to life. Even I, the genius of the clan, felt the same way. ]
He giggled as if he was dumbfounded and said with twisted emotions on his face.
[That’s why I thought in anger at my helplessness! If the world is going to be destroyed anyway, I’d rather dedicate this place to an ancient deity and get revenge on the tower! And there was someone who answered that wish…! ]
“Is that the god of despair, fall, and madness?”
[ That’s the correct answer! Yes, I decided to take revenge even at the cost of everything! Even if it brings the planned end forward…! ]
“….”
I was insane.
It’s the same with getting the power to avenge the tower in exchange for giving the world… It
was absurd to ruthlessly throw away things that were supposed to be protected because you couldn’t protect them.
―It’s been a while since I’ve seen a real bastard madman.
Even Dam Chun-wu, who had been quiet until now, added a word.
I quietly nodded my head in agreement and thought for a moment.
Why did Karnar go so far as to tell me this while designating each other incapable of combat?
However, there was no way I could know just by thinking about it, so I looked him in the face and asked him a question.
“I know for sure that you hate the tower, but why are you telling me that?”
and.
[That’s a story with nothing to ask. challenger. Because I have something to offer you. ]
next moment.
[Are you thinking of stopping climbing the tower and becoming one of my followers? ]
Karnar said that with a greedy grin.
***
「The duration of the inability to fight due to the Divine Realm < Obsession in Despair > remains for 1 minute.」
“A follower…?”
Seeing Karnar’s greedy smile, I blinked and asked again.
It was worth it.
Even if he possesses divine status, he would ask a subject who is only an apostle to become a member of his household.
It was absurd to think that he would agree to it, regardless of whether it was possible.
However, Karnar, unaware of such thoughts, nodded in satisfaction and said,
[ Yes. challenger. It can be said that it is a mutually beneficial condition. It would be better for you to come under me than to believe in a tower that is not the same. ]
“If you talk bullshit so seriously, I’m in trouble too…”
[It’s not bullshit. I would have personally informed you. How selfish and self-righteous the tower is. It is not a reliable entity. ]
“Then you are a reliable being.”
[At least compared to the tower, wouldn’t it? Of course, my main god seems to hate you. what. This much would be acceptable as his apostle. ]
“….”
[Ah, if you are afraid of the Tower’s sanctions, don’t worry. I have the power to make it go away. ]
“I don’t need it.”
At this point, I don’t even want to talk anymore.
At that, I widened my eyes and then grabbed the twin swords in my hand.
Then, looking at Karnar, I spat out words filled with life.
“Because I had no intention of accepting a proposal from someone like you from the beginning anyway.”
and.
“Time ends.”
“The continuation of the inability to fight due to the divine realm < Obsession in Despair > ends.”
Then, as soon as the restriction on inability to fight was lifted, Karnar clicked his tongue slightly and twisted the corners of his mouth.
[ …Sorry. Still, I thought there was a chance that if I persuaded him to this extent, he would come over. I can’t help it. ]
As if he was genuinely sorry.
But that was only for a moment.
Karnar also immediately changed his face color as if he had noticed that there was no room for persuasion.
Now, only a cold murderous intent was on his face.
[If you are going to live as a tower hound, die here. challenger. Then die and become my servant. ]
And at that moment, a strange thing happened.
[Wake up. ]
Coo-gu-goo-!
The moment the ground surface of the Black Cemetery shuddered and the soil erupted.
As it was, three monsters with decayed flesh appeared in the Black Cemetery.
It’s also very huge.
Kroaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!
Kissyiyiit—!
Oh oh oh oh oh! 「The native deity, the dragon who ruled the vegetation
, gazes at you without will.」 「The
native deity, the snake that tried to devour the mountain, gazes at you without will.」
“I look at you without this will.”
And as soon as I heard the ensuing howling, a message popped into my sight.
When I saw it, I knew right away.
That these three monsters in front of me now possess divinity.
Even a divinity so thick that it appears as a system message.
“…”
Even if it is a fake godhead without will, a godhead is a godhead.
Therefore, the meaning of this situation was simple.
Now, this place is no different from a place where there are three gods, and this is a level where even superhumans can die.
In fact, a bloody blow flowed in the atmosphere that had spread around me in a moment, and I applied it as if I was suppressing my body.
To think that his body would be shaken this far even though all of his ability levels were over a few hundred… It
was more than he could have imagined.
‘At least, if I hadn’t raised my rank to < Possibility of Transcendence >, I could have been crawling on the floor.’
As I clicked my tongue, another system message popped up in my field of vision.
“The 2nd-class apostle ‘Karnar Sagsis’ laughs at you.”
[Challenger. It’s all your choice, don’t regret it. Even though I gave you a chance to live, it’s you who didn’t accept it. ]
Before I knew it, Karnar was looking at me with a deep smile as if looking down on me.
“I have no regrets.”
But even so, I didn’t distort my face.
「The divine power ‘deification’ is activated.」
「It becomes possible to exercise divine power according to the latent divinity.
」 It’s Unryeong >」
It was justified.
「Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated.」
「All stats increase by +377.」
「Special buff < Unbreakable will, even if it cannot be defeated >, is activated.」
「When facing enemies who cannot win, all The efficiency of each type of skill and authority increases by 400%.”
Although I recently had a series of overwhelming victories…
[I just have to kill all of you anyway, right? ]
Originally, the more unreasonable I was, the stronger I could become.
