Episode 245. Higher Divinity (2)
[Would you like to open the ‘Sacred Spear Library’ of the deities?]
A sentence with only one line.
First look at the third perk for the first to conquer the tower.
Jinhyeok had to struggle to calm his beating heart.
It has to be.
The perks that came out so far could have been considered fraudulent, but this was because they were one step beyond that level.
“okay.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
[The third perk has been revealed.]
[Unique Sacred Spear – Degradation.]
– You can recreate the degraded version of the Unique Sacred Spear possessed by higher beings. However, it can be activated only while sharing magic with a higher being. (The duration of the copied degraded version varies depending on the skill level, and once used, the unique holy spear cannot be used again through the third perk.)] Sweet
Potato The ‘sword of condemnation’ that was shown when the main body manifested.
‘Sacred Window Library’ felt like a lower version of Universal Sharing, but the activation conditions were rather simpler.
Even if they didn’t maintain a deep bond, it was just enough to share magic power.
‘It’s unfortunate that it’s number 1, but it’s the best ability to use instant.’
Jinhyeok immediately gathered all his mana.
Cuckoo coo!
His already dark toenails began to stain even blacker.
[The rotting heart Beriel’s ‘Unique Sacred Spear’ is reproduced.] A
bizarre-shaped spear revealed between the claws.
A nightmare of absolute judgment that cannot be stopped no matter how hard the armor and thick shield are.
Black spear ‘Kishan’.
It is the unique sacred spear that Beriel possesses.
***
The air suddenly changed.
The gods were the first to realize this change.
[That ability…!?]
Shiba’s voice rang out in a low voice.
there is no way you don’t know
How could I not know?
only a thousand years ago. The ability possessed by the demon king Beriel during the great war of the gods.
The black spear ‘Kishan’, which is said to be the most devastating among the magic spears.
The power felt was less than one-tenth of what it was at the time, but the fact that that ability was reproduced through the player’s hand was shocking itself.
[You… what the hell…]
Even Beriel couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
Beyond the interesting category, the fearful gaze reached Jinhyeok’s back.
However, there is no time to be in tune with the reaction of the two guys.
Wooduk! Quadduk!
Cracks are already forming on Kishan’s spear blade.
it is collapsing
Because even the degraded version contains so much magical power.
‘There is only one chance.’
Jinhyeok grabbed the spear.
At this rate, even maintaining Kishan for 30 seconds was not easy.
Moment.
Parts…
I felt like the air was being compressed.
Shoulders drooping heavily and mana compressed.
The suffocating silence is never an illusion.
Barriers inscribed with ancient runes began to rise above the black aura that gathered to the limit along the tip of the spear.
They were runes meaning ‘acceleration’, ‘maintenance’ and ‘penetration’.
“…Kuh!”
Nirasha used the mandala to reconstruct the golden curtain she had just created.
And even at the same time, it would be nice.
Quaang!
Jinhyeok threw the half-shattered ‘Kishan’.
Lightness with no sense of mass.
However, what surprised me more than speed was Chang’s ability.
[No mandala theory! You have to avoid it!]
Shiva shouted, but the spear had already penetrated the Mandala’s outer wall and penetrated inside.
“Uh, how!?”
Nirasha hurriedly raised her magical power to the maximum.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
One layer, two layers, and three layers.
Complex formulas and spells that overlapped with divine power were all smashed.
The final barrier reached in this way was the most solid core among the mandalas.
Dangerous.
The moment she made that decision, Nirasha released her unique ability.
[Millennial Season (天年守節) ‘Extreme Mandala’ is blooming!]
Twelve petals reminiscent of lotus flowers were in full bloom.
As if resisting the darkness spreading from the tip of the spear, the mandala in full bloom radiated golden brilliance.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A clash of magical power and magical power beyond imagination.
The entire tomb vibrated violently.
Nirasha’s legs, unable to withstand the weight, slowly dug into the ground.
“This little… barely this…!”
Nirasha bit her molar.
The granddaughter of India’s largest conglomerate family.
It was he who preoccupied the information about the Tower of Trials based on his tremendous capital.
The day the Tower of Trials first appeared. In other words, he was the one who monopolized the replica that was imbued with the magical energy flowing from the tower!
‘There is no one stronger than me.’
I was convinced that I got the best route and the strongest power because I liked the gods.
but.
‘… pushed.’
shred! Quadduk!
The lotus flower is broken.
The opponent’s spear was also visibly collapsing, but the speed at which the mandala collapsed was even faster.
[The absolute decision ‘Breath of Corruption’ erodes the target.]
The lotus was stained with the sword.
A spear to pierce and a shield to block.
The match was decided at this moment.
Fuck!
The half-bladed spear pierced Nirasha’s belly.
A handful of blood spurted out with an eerie destructive sound.
“Gagging….”
Nirasha’s body collapsed into a prayer.
No…
I was mistaken that it was like that. Until Nirasha’s form, which had been pierced by the spear, faded into obscurity.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
“That’s quite right. You mean we’ve reached the realm where we can synchronize the Vajra and the Mandala.”
I never thought I could embody the spiritual world through mandala.
It is indeed a player who is fully supported by India.
of course.
Since he used his ability to distort space to this extent, the aftermath was bound to be strong.
“Hee-eok… Hee-eok. Hee-eok.”
From a few meters away, Nirasha let out a heavy breath.
His sweaty face was contorted with anger and shame.
The ‘Extreme Mandala’, which was thought to be the strongest shield, could not last even a few seconds.
It looks like he never dreamed that he would lose.
[You’ve surpassed human limits… How the hell did you get a monster like that, Beriel?] [
I didn’t think I’d be this kind of a monster… No, it’s great. did you see This is the level of the players that the demon world supports. That guy is the one I especially cherish.]
An exclamation of unbelief erupted from the mouths of the gods.
It was embarrassing to drink kimchi soup on my own, but the important thing now is to finish the battle.
“It looks very difficult, how. Are you going to continue?”
There was a high probability of self-destruction if mana was used excessively while the whole body was overloaded.
A phenomenon that is often called coin infancy in Moorim.
It would not be very pleasant to see blood sprayed from Chilgong while losing reason.
Nirasha knew that too, so she couldn’t dare to jump any further.
“…It looks like you’ve won this fight.”
Nirasha clicked her tongue briefly as if resigned.
“It’s a wise decision. I don’t want to lose my strength in a fight where the winner is decided.”
Nirasha wasn’t the top priority, and it was irrational to deal with all the rankers of the Gandara guild alone.
I pretended to be able to afford it, but it was the same for us who used the power beyond the limit.
As the situation turned strange, it was Beinstelln who became desperate.
“You, Nirasha! Quitting. What do you mean? Didn’t we… make a deal? Are you going to give up on that?”
“I really want that item, but it’s not more important than my life. It’s a chance anyway, there will be another one later.”
“I can’t… wait. Wait a minute.”
Beinstelln hurriedly reached out, but Nirasha had already made up her mind.
“Today we lost. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to come out this cleanly. As far as the Empire goes, I’ll just have to let it go the way you want it to.”
Nirasha raised the white flag.
With that…
the battle in the tomb was over.
….
at least for now.
***
The rebellion caused by the nobles ended in one day.
The remarks of the first Reinhardt threw a big question to the nobles who were only trying to take care of themselves. Most of them had no choice but to lose their will to fight because of the shame of themselves.
An event that ended in an instant.
Reinhard III pardoned most of the nobles, claiming that he was partly responsible for the rebellion.
As the invitation said, it was because he judged that it was more important to prosper the empire and protect the safety of the people in the future rather than anger and hurt.
Of course, not everyone was at that level of mercy.
“This, these… Do you know who I dare to be!
“My, please save me!”
“We just did what the author told us to do. So please!”
“That’s right. It’s all up to the duke… that fucking traitor.”
“Eh, these?”
“What are these? Didn’t you instigate the murder of the Emperor with your snake-like tongue?”
The instigators of the rebellion, Beinstelln and high-ranking nobles, wriggled their bound bodies like earthworms.
Blaming each other, they struggled to preserve their lives somehow.
But he was not the executioner who would listen to such excuses.
A rough hand shoved a fat nobleman into the mold.
Chunk!
“No…”
thud… Kwaaang!
“No, no, no…!”
As the guillotine was lowered step by step, the sounds of begging for life gradually disappeared.
***
After the wounds of the rebellion were somewhat healed, Reinhardt held a grand party in the name of unity and comfort.
All expenses for the party were covered with funds confiscated from the Duke of Weinstein.
A grand banquet hall where hundreds of nobles were dressed up in style.
“ha ha ha.”
“Ho-ho-ho.”
The sound of laughter and chatter filled the interior.
Right then.
“Kuhm! Keum! We are truly honored to have the opportunity to introduce our distinguished guests to the heroes who saved the empire!”
With the sound of the old butler clearing his throat.
The door on the second floor was wide open.
“This is Miss Ellis von Ataraxia!”
“This is Miss Teresa de Laurencia!”
“This is Miss Andrea!”
At the call of the old butler, three women started walking down the stairs to the banquet hall.
For a moment, everyone in the banquet hall stopped breathing.
Peripheral nerves that have been worn out by countless banquets and social gatherings.
Pretty much anything could not satisfy their standards.
Not to mention, the opponents are heroes, so I was invited here for a while. Aren’t they the ones who came from outside the tower or stayed on the lower floors?
There was no way that those who were not nobles could have such elegance or dignity.
So even if they didn’t know about combat, they were sure that they would have the upper hand when it came to socializing.
but.
Such high-nosed conceit was shattered at this moment.
“omg!?”
“The foreigners from outside the tower look more noble than the ladies of some noble family…”
“How beautiful it can be…”
Different concepts of dresses and accessories.
However, the clothing that was so well suited to the individual was more than enough to arouse admiration from the viewer.
As if three goddesses were out on earth, the three of them took their first steps into the social world with so much dignity.
“Next, Kang Jin-hyeok and Chun Yu-seong will enter!”
The subsequent appearances of Jinhyeok and Chun Yuseong created another spectacle.
“Huh. I don’t like stuff like this because it’s stuffy. You seem to be secretly comfortable? Did medical students have parties like this often?”
“Keep your weight in a formal setting. You look fine if you keep your mouth shut.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“It means to pay a little for the face value.”
It was only natural that the clothes faded because Chun Yoo-seong had such a flawless appearance in itself.
Jinhyeok, who was well-dressed after a long time, was also attracting everyone’s attention.
“Oh my God…”
“How could it be.”
“Oh my. Just looking at it makes my eyes happy. Hoho.”
The ladies of noble families glanced at the two.
Her hair was neatly styled in an all-back style and a classy black robe.
There was nothing else to say except that the outfit that pursues harmony and balance is perfect.
It was only after several tens of minutes had passed that the two, who had been in the spotlight for a long time, were able to breathe.
Inside the noisy banquet hall.
“receive.”
Jinhyeok handed over a wine glass from the table.
At the same time, he lowered his voice a lot.
In such an atmosphere, it would be okay to speak out slowly.
“Don’t react. Just listen quietly. Even though I put a barrier on it, there might be someone eavesdropping on it.”
What I have to say now is a story that should never be known to the guy up there.
Especially if you consider that being is more tricky than Sivana Beriel.
