308. Melee (4)
All the pieces of the spirit have been gathered.
「The Spirit Shard ‘■■■[3/3]’ has met the charging requirement.」
「You can select and acquire a latent divinity by consuming the Spirit Shard ‘■■■[3/3]’.」
「 Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired
are < Hell >, < Track >, and < Acceleration >.”
.
Even the names of the gods came out as things that could be used in their own way.
Perhaps even choosing a divinity among them could have been quite a concern.
But now is not the time to do that.
Because…
「Selection postponed.」
「※ You can select and acquire a latent divinity at a later time.」
It was because Alton’s death instantly quieted the hall.
[ …. ]
Only Alton’s corpse, which still squirts bloody fountains, is just lying around as if to foretell future battles.
All the monarchs sitting in the arena’s seats looked down at this place with hard faces.
Did no one think that Alton would die with just one divine power?
All of a sudden, each of the monarchs quickly rolled their eyes and seemed to be quickly thinking about this or that, as if counting gains and losses.
To be honest, I didn’t like the sight very much.
[Did you not hear me? ]
To that, I calmed my eyes coldly and said.
[I would have said it was time to come down from there, right? ]
It deserved it.
I don’t know how the god of remorse will come out, but now at least the angle to deal with the monarchs has come out.
If so, wouldn’t it be an opportunity to raise the percentage of the 2nd Ascension almost to the end?
There is no reason to refuse a table that has been prepared.
Even the god of remorse was a prudent person, so there was a high probability that he would not participate in battle.
From the moment I confirmed that the power of the divinity < Death > could be amplified several times with the black magic [Black Halo], the odds of winning increased significantly.
‘Excluding the God of Remorse, there are 7 monarchs to deal with, so I’ll be able to win enough.’
At most, the monarchs were only about to rise to the ranks of godheads.
As I killed Alton, I showed some of my side’s hand, so I think it’s probably difficult to kill him at once with the same reason…
Even so, if you stay on the edge of the official divine power, victory will be self-evident.
And, as if they knew that, the monarchs looked this way as if they were very nervous, and then asked the God of Remorse to intervene.
“God of remorse. Could you please cancel the duel with the author?”
“…That’s right! The duel at the cradle is not decided by mutual agreement between the monarchs!”
“At least I don’t want to fight a monster like that. … It’s going to be dog death.”
Even though he hadn’t shown his strength yet, he was greatly frightened.
‘Does he seem like a coward for those who are strong enough to rival the godhead?’
And as I was squinting my eyes at him, I heard the sound of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword ringing in my ears.
―…Isn’t that natural?
Dam Chun-wu, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth.
—an apostle to the ancient deity. He was someone who might be able to destroy even a planet. But you killed it within seconds.
[ …. ]
―Even if you use black magic, there is no way that its value will fade. You’ll probably feel like a monster over there.
[Is that so…]
I can understand that to some extent.
Perhaps they see me as a monster who killed the apostle of the ancient godhead in one blow.
Therefore, even if the condition of one-to-many numerical superiority is met, there is no way that they would want to be openly hostile to this side.
[ Cancel duel? …no. There is no such thing. You will have to fight the author and win. ]
However, the god of remorse seemed to have a different idea.
[If you withdraw from this place, wouldn’t your prestige be damaged? ]
“What is that…”
[As a monarch belonging to the proud cradle, I hope everyone will do their best…]
“I hate poetry! Why do we have such a burden…! As a member of Yo Yoram, I refuse—”
The moment when an unknown male monarch with wolf ears shouted like that.
[Everyone is misunderstanding something. ]
The god of remorse spoke in an infinitely cold voice.
[This is not Jane or a request. ]
As if it didn’t matter what the other monarchs here thought.
[It just means that it’s worth the amount of food you’ve fed bugs like you. ]
And.
[ …Did you really think there was no reason to create a duel club like a cradle and raise monarchs like you? ]
Actually, it was.
[These are hounds that have been bred for times like this, so if you suddenly refuse to hunt them, it’s troublesome. ]
As soon as the god of remorse finished speaking, thick power flowed from him.
「The Myth < Seven Obedience Contracts > are automatically activated when the conditions are met.」
「The Myth < Seven Obedience Contracts > converts the contractors into a subordination state and into a compulsory contract fulfillment state.」
Only divinity can build. The ability of the myth that exists is activated.
With Chara…!
In an instant, the chain extending from the god of remorse surged up to the seven demon realm lords.
And all the demon lords stood up, creaking like marionettes as soon as the chain touched them.
It’s like watching a puppet being manipulated clumsily.
In fact, the monarchs in the audience at the arena were shocked to see the body moving against their own will.
“What…!”
“A real contract? I’ve never heard anything like this…!”
“I did…kun! haha! So, did you lead the monarchs all this time in order to use them like an asshole like this!”
Perhaps he didn’t know that the god of remorse was playing tricks
.
And looking at it, I could read the origin of the power felt in mythology.
[Is it a power that requires a long time to activate against an opponent designated as a myth? ]
Is it because of the divine power he gained from killing Alkaid and Alton?
Now, even if the system messages didn’t reveal the content of the myth, the details behind it were also vaguely felt.
It’s still at a level that I can’t say with complete certainty…
Nevertheless, the god of remorse seemed to be satisfied with his guess, but he nodded in satisfaction and replied in a laughing voice.
[Yes. That’s why you had foolish lords with you. Hundreds of years had to be spent fulfilling the triggering conditions for this myth. ]
[ …. ]
[ Although they are at a level that can be compared to that of a god, there are no real gods. I didn’t even know that I put my hand on it. ]
[ That sounds like a vicious hobby. ]
[ Hmm… not really. After all, they are only those who coveted a high position in the cradle with my protection as the 17th lord. If it’s evil, wouldn’t these guys do more? ]
[I don’t know… ]
Even if he clung to the god of remorse and took advantage of it, can this be justified?
Perhaps if he had known he would obey like a dog, no one would have stuck to him.
But I didn’t feel the need to point it out.
Because you don’t have to do that.
[But anyway, that’s good news for me. ]
I had a smile on my lips before I knew it, and my eyes flashed fiercely.
Anyway, the god of remorse had no intention of making a direct move.
If so, have you decided what to do?
next moment.
「Using Divinity < Transcendence >」
「All abilities are out of the set range.」
「The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range.」
「All abilities in proportion to the level difference with the opponent. The growth rate of the species increases
by [6] times. ” ]
Just like that, I announced the start of the battle by shouting a brilliant golden divinity.
***
Deed-!
As soon as I used the divine < Transcendence >, I felt my strength greatly swell.
By transcendence, all abilities are out of the set range.
However, there was a sense of lacking a little.
‘Isn’t the growth rate only 6 times the multiplier…’
It was understandable.
Until now, the activating of the divine < Transcendence > had been a hand drawn against numerous formidable enemies.
This time too, he thought that the rulers of the demon realm in front of him were threatening in their own way, so he wrote the divine < transcendence >.
However, the efficiency of the divinity < transcendence > was not very good.
‘This might not be enough.’
It’s a situation where I have to activate the divine < transcendence >, but it’s not very efficient, so I can’t help it.
After all, right after he felt the need to mix another power besides divine < transcendence >.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the seven lords rushing at him like lightning, and he activated his skill.
Right away…
「The skill ‘Punishment’ 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 dwells in you, and your magical power increases by 100%.」
Punishment.
An unmatched fraudulent skill that completely eliminates the consumption of mana.
In addition to that, a skill with tremendous effects with various additional effects was activated.
Originally, it could only be used by evil beings, but aren’t all enemies here the lords of the demon realm?
‘Then, the activation of punishment can be regarded as lasting until the end of the battle.’
Then, I smiled and used the authority to increase the effect of punishment.
「The special power, ‘Dragon Change’ is activated.」
「The amount of magical power possessed is doubled for 10 minutes.」
「Reproduces some of the characteristics of the dragon race for 10 minutes.」
「For 10 minutes, all interference and operational abilities related to magic increase.」 The
skeleton of the body slightly twisted, the body grew larger, and two horns grew on the head.
It reminds me of dragons I’ve seen before.
And at the same time, the amount of horsepower itself increased significantly.
‘Now I can use my skills without thinking about the consumption of magic.’
In fact, most of the skills that use magic have lost their consumption value.
Originally, the connection between the punishment skill and Yonginhwa was great, but after learning black magic, the efficiency itself must have changed.
That’s why I instantly switched my magic power to demonic energy.
As I felt the absurd amount of demonic energy overflowing all over the place in an instant, the lords who came down before me knew it kicked the ground.
Among them, a red-skinned man with a cheerful expression shouted out loud.
“Kuhhh! There’s nothing wrong with this! If you can’t avoid it anyway, just enjoy it!!”
Does that mean that he is not as unusual as someone who has risen to the position of a monarch in his own way?
Before he knew it, unlike other monarchs, he threw away his rage and hesitation and went into battle without hesitation.
He probably knew that he couldn’t move freely until he killed me like this…
It was great.
“I will let the 53rd Lord Baizan Kasilium punish you!!”
It’s just that his high spirits are regrettable because the opponent is me.
[ okay? ]
And.
[Then, should I go with all my might? ]
next moment.
[It was a car I was curious about even if it wasn’t. ]
Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsu…!!!
The moment when darkness shimmered all over the body and a black halo shone.
「Using Divine < Death >」
「You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >.」
「※Divine < Death > can dwell in black magic by [Black Halo].」
[ How far can you use black magic? ]
The newly created spell accepted the divine power and increased its power.
From now on, what I will do is simple.
Right away…
‘Can I use black magic enchanted with divinity?’
I will make the divine < death > dwell in black magic.
If there is no limit to the amount of magic power, you will have to adjust your attacks accordingly.
So, instead of twisting the divine power with black magic, I focused my consciousness only on making the divine power dwell in the black magic.
‘A means to make the most of the limitless magical power…’
And.
‘…Oh come to think of it, I got something from Alkaid.’
The moment he recalled the last black magic he saw in the decisive battle with Alkaid.
[Going.]
As it is, I used the dark magic trick that Alkaid had built up.
Alkaid, the goblin lord who sat in a position that no one could look down on with only his offensive black magic…
And now, the offensive black magic remodeled by me has appeared, holding the divine < Death >.
Pachijik—!
The sky dyed black.
There, round thunderclouds (雷雲) filled with divinity gathered.
Suddenly, in the center of the thundercloud, black thunder like a beast of prey roared.
next moment.
[The shadow of the thunderbolt hiding in the darkness]
Knocked out———!!!
Thunder struck the ground, staining everything with death.
