Episode 508 Damcheonwoo (1)
[….]
[Ordeal modification completed.]
As I looked at the system messages appearing before my eyes I felt something was wrong.
[Enter the 46th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[Difficulty level? difficulty]
[The theme of the trial is ‘Resurrection of the Losers.’]
[I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.]
Isn’t a story unfolding that is completely different from the trials we heard about from the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman in advance?
[The 46th floor ordeal begins.]
[Remaining time? 10 days]
[Conditions for passing the ordeal? Kill the ‘Resurrected One.’]
[Trial failure conditions? Death of challenger or end of remaining time]
[Reward for passing the ordeal? Vessel of Revival (SSS+)]
“….”
At that I pursed my lips and narrowed my eyes in an unpleasant sense of déjà vu.
In the Tower of Trials I have seen several cases where the content of existing trials was altered for some reason.
Haven’t we already seen the Tower of Trials change the content of trials due to external factors?
However despite this it was not uncommon for the Tower of Trials to allow an integrated trial in which numerous challengers participated to be changed at will by someone else.
‘…The change in the content of the trial due to external intervention seems similar to the trial on the 27th floor where the Pantheon side intervened but strictly speaking it is different.’
For a moment I wondered if the Tower of Trials had been altered by an enemy from outside but that didn’t seem to be the case.
‘…I wonder if an ancient deity like the god of despair fall and madness came and played tricks on me but no matter how much I think about it I don’t think that’s the case.’
In response I clenched my teeth and closed my eyes tightly letting my thoughts wander.
‘no. Still maybe you don’t know? Maybe there’s something I haven’t thought of….’
step….
For a moment I accelerated my thinking and repeated my thoughts wondering if there were other cases I hadn’t thought of.
The escape from reality didn’t last long.
Because I already knew the answer.
Since the answer has already been decided going back a long way is nothing more than standing still.
Suddenly I realized that I had no choice but to face the truth that I had been ignoring and then I shifted my gaze to my waist.
To Dam Cheon-woo who is inside the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
“….”
In fact isn’t it a story that cannot be overlooked?
━The prerequisite law <Resurrection> is automatically activated when the conditions are met.
━The Law of Preliminary Resurrection begins to revive the caster after death temporarily lending some of the Tower of Trials’ exclusive powers.
━The law of precognition <Resurrection> reorganizes the theme and content of the trial to revive the caster after death.
Isn’t it the unique supernormal ability of the law of precognition <Resurrection> that forcibly intervened in the Tower of Trials and reconstructed the trials on the 46th floor?
━It’s a story from a long time ago.
━After breaking through the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials I was chosen as a pioneer along with the massive expansion of the system.
━At that time it was possible to obtain the seer and the seer law faster than now. There were three options for the pioneer before the throne.
and….
━At that time I was unable to choose any of the three pioneers. As a result all three pioneers were reset and relocated.
━Those three things were not even worth mentioning from my mouth. Garbage among garbage. It was worse than ‘Brainwasher’ or ‘Binder’.
━There was only one useful thing.
I already know the answer to whose hands that power was.
━’Resurrector’.
Damcheonwoo.
It’s no different….
The moment had arrived when the old challenger within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword achieved its goal after a long period of patience.
Bitterly.
***
Whioooo-!
“….”
In an instant a new space appeared and I fell into the middle of the blood-red desert.
After standing on the desert where the blood-red sand wind was blowing I shifted my gaze to my waist again just like before.
However despite this there was no Blood Heavenly Demon Sword anywhere and only the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword was hanging there.
The Blood Heavenly Demon Sword which was always with us in the fierce battle between life and death cannot even be found.
Okay.
For no reason the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword is gone so all I can do is touch the empty scabbard.
“As expected….”
Is that why?
Bitterness and then a shallow sense of loss turned into a empty smile and flowed out from the corners of my mouth.
At best it wasn’t the bitterness and sense of loss that came from losing a sword with good performance.
Rather it was because Damcheonwoo who resided within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword suddenly left without even saying goodbye.
However thanks to that I also realized one thing for sure.
“I guess that’s why.”
Dam Cheon-woo also expected this to happen someday.
━Yes…. The pioneer chosen by this committee at that time was the ‘Resurrected One.’ He learned the law of precognition <Resurrection> and soon faced the moment of death and used that power.
━Seeing the ‘resurrector’ and the law of foreshadowing <resurrection> it seems like a power related to revival. Seeing as I’m stuck here I guess I can’t really shine.
yesterday.
After telling the story about the seer and the law of seer Dam Cheon-woo must have muttered something incomprehensible to himself.
At the time I didn’t know why but I thought I felt an unidentifiable discomfort in that self-talk but does this mean that my ominous premonition is not wrong?
━Tsk tsk. no? Wrong. It did shine. This committee chose the pioneer ‘Resurrected’ and used the pioneer law <Resurrection>. Nothing is wrong. Yeah whatever. Everything went according to plan.
━…All according to plan? What about dwelling in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and becoming the Ego Sword? It seems far-fetched.
━No. This is not something that is unreasonable on my part. The ‘Resurrected’ precept law <Resurrection> shined after being used. As a result here I am. I had to vaguely guess it even back then… I guess that’s what it was.
━?
Now that I think about it Dam Cheon-woo himself said that after guessing what would happen in the future.
━’Resurrector’. And the unique ability of the law of perseverance <Resurrection>. It still hasn’t gone away. Nothing was wrong. Because now is the beginning.
Now I finally understand.
‘…at that time. This is the beginning. I understand why Dam Cheon-woo said that.’
‘Resurrector’.
The unique ability of the precognitive law <Resurrection> is to revive the caster from the swamp of death after a long period of time.
For that reason Dam Cheon-woo himself must have sensed that the law of precognition <Resurrection> would be activated on its own in the near future.
‘I wonder why he kept his mouth shut and spoke so little during the Blood Heaven Demon Sword from then until now.’
I thought perhaps that was why Dam Cheon-woo no longer talked to me and stayed alone in silence.
“….”
I guess…
The law of precognition <Resurrection> will not end with Dam Cheon-woo himself being brought back to life with the specifications he had when he was alive.
If the plan was to end with restoring Dam Cheon-woo to his old body then there was no need for the Law of Presence <Resurrection> to forcibly intervene in the Tower of Trials to try to revive Dam Cheon-woo from the beginning.
Then guessing becomes easy.
‘First of all it would be correct to think that the default is to have greater power than what Dam Cheon-woo himself achieved during his lifetime.’
Reconstruction of the bowl.
If you think that the default is to transform the vessel to a higher level than the power that Dam Cheon-woo achieved during his lifetime you will ultimately choose one of the two.
Either steal the vessel or create the vessel.
Perhaps finding and stealing a vessel that Damcheonwoo likes is a common method but if not an efficient method to create a vessel of a higher level will be used.
For example literally grinding up a high-level challenger alive and using it as a high-quality material to reconstruct a bowl.
Like the battlefield of the gods.
Gooooo-!
It actually looks similar.
This is even more so when I see a bright red sphere floating in the sky above the blood-red desert.
At that I narrowed my eyes and stared at the bright red sphere floating high in the sky then looked away.
If the blood-red sphere floating in the sky is some kind of device to absorb the energy of living creatures in this desert area then I would not be the only one here.
“Forcible intervention had to be exercised in the Tower of Trials but is the framework of integrated trials itself maintained?”
in other words….
“That’s fun.”
In fact it is not only me who is here but also many challengers and managers.
Sabak Sabak-!
Just like them.
Tuk-.
Suddenly an evil-looking demon with seven heads on each side and a leopard-headed beastman approached where I was standing and burst into laughter.
“Tsk! Should I call this lucky? I never thought I’d meet an idiot who hasn’t joined my manager yet! Haha!”
As the seven-headed green-skinned demon grinned and openly showed hostility the leopard-headed beastman next to him narrowed his eyes.
[The manager ‘Beast of the Wild’ cautions the contractor’s absent-mindedness.]
“Hey Roman. Don’t laugh. That’s not the time. Unlike before the trial on the 46th floor was altered by someone’s precognitive law. “This is not the time to let down your guard.”
what.
“joy. I know. Well isn’t it necessary to help the unknown child called ‘the Resurrected One’? To do that you have to kill at least ten challengers and managers. “Right?”
“….”
Since the leopard-headed beastman is a manager it seems like the one next to him is a challenger who signed an apostolic contract…
[The manager ‘Beast of the Wild’ laments the pathetic behavior of the contractor.]
“…under. This idiot. What did you hear what I just said? “I would have told you not to reveal the conditions for clearing your trials.”
While the leopard-headed beastman has average intelligence the seven-headed demon named Roman next to him does not.
“Kick. I know I know-. Even if you don’t like it it’s better to watch your mouth right? By the way. “There’s nothing to worry about in front of a guy like that.”
Whoosh whoosh!
I don’t know why but a seven-headed green-skinned demon called Roman started approaching me twirling his four arms.
“I am. Because they have a lot of brains their intelligence is also very high. What I’m saying is that you can tell the difference between a strong person and a weak person just by looking at them. And that’s it.”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
[The God of Victory drools with joy at having found an opponent weaker than himself.]
[That guy is not a strong guy but a weak guy. He can tell just by looking at it. That guy is just a bastard who can’t even become an official god. ]
At the same time the divinity and spirit were pouring out of Roman’s body quite roughly and shaking ominously.
“….”
[ Puhaha! Hey why don’t you look at that? He looks frozen like a scared rabbit!! Is it normal since he hasn’t joined my manager yet? ]
“hey.”
[ you. You can scream right? Try running away. And run away and beg. Please save me. Then you don’t know? Your manager may come to help you─ ]
“I’m sorry.”
step….
“you. Why do you carry seven heads on your shoulders? “It’s so stupid that you can tell just by looking at it.”
That too was only for a moment.
[ what? You son of a bitch! What did you just say to me!! How dare you call me stupid─]
Next moment.
Pubububung-!
In the blink of an eye six of Roman’s seven heads were shattered and his body completely exploded as if the left half of his body had been erased with an eraser.
[The God of Victory suffers from excruciating pain and lets out a silent scream.]
[ ───!! ]
dump-.
“As expected you don’t need to wear seven heads.”
And only then did I smile lightly and say that I felt much more at ease.
“Now… I think I’ll be able to make more sense now than before. “Would you like to have a conversation?”
It’s no different….
[The god of transcendence and death shines with a cruel smile.]
[You said earlier that helping the ‘Resurrected One’ is a condition for clearing your trials right? Tell me about it in detail. immediately. ]
Somehow I felt like I could find out valuable information without much trouble.
