Chapter 307
Chapter 307
307. Melee (3)
Melee.
I couldn’t help but twinkle my eyes at the sudden proposal from the god of remorse.
If you can defeat all the monarchs here, you will really be able to achieve considerable growth.
‘Skills and powers... and the power of the second ascension obtained through mythology are not things that can be passed lightly.’
At least considering the < Possibility of Transcendence >, the myth of necromancy, it can’t be passed lightly.
Maybe he could have acquired a new divinity.
And more than anything else, you will be able to get the qualification to challenge the position of the first monarch, the seat of the supreme monarch, through the decrees of the
demon realm ...
However, at the same time as I was calculating the gains in my head, a doubt came to my mind like both sides.
[I don’t understand. ]
That’s also true, because the proposal given by the god of remorse isn’t very reasonable.
[ Why are you giving me such a lucrative offer? ]
God of regret.
First of all, he has the appearance of a tall old man... but
he is the one who realized that I came from the tower, not enough to see through the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death > in the blink of an eye.
In fact, it can be seen as a strong person comparable to the evil god.
‘Definitely something suspicious.’
Even the old monster in front of me knew that I was a high-level deity.
...It’s still at a level that can be said to be an entry level among high-ranking deities, but it wasn’t difficult to predict victory against the lords here.
Even if it’s hard, it doesn’t mean victory is impossible.
And I couldn’t even imagine that a high-ranking deity, such as the god of remorse, would really not know about it.
In fact, it was.
[ ...hmm. Since he was a young friend, I thought he wouldn’t think too deeply. You seem to be worrying more than you think? ]
The god of remorse smiled and said it was fun.
[Perhaps you think this old man is up to something, but to be precise, he doesn’t have a deep mind. ]
[If that’s the case... ]
[Ah, I was just going to challenge the lords here and challenge you to a duel if you lose your strength. ]
[ .... ]
Only then did I know why the God of Regret had proposed a melee.
‘In a word, did you mean to take away the power I had so that I could get a fisherman’s geography...’
But I didn’t know exactly why.
Perhaps the god of remorse has nothing to gain by antagonizing me here.
It couldn’t have come out like this unless it had a special malice towards me like the god of battle and the evil god.
And when I looked at the god of remorse, he said with a smirk before he knew it.
[I hope you don’t misunderstand. Doesn’t mean I have a grudge against you. I just want to measure each other’s strength. ]
[ I think that’s a contradiction. ]
[ Not so much? ...Even if you look at it like this, it’s a body that holds the position of the 17th monarch of the demon realm. Measuring you is more of my pure curiosity. ]
[ Curious? ]
[ Yes. I wonder how far a monster like you has reached and how far it can go... I’m honestly curious. So I will try you again ]
And.
[ ...At the end, it will be entertainment to think about whether to save the sprout that is you or to cut the sprout here. ]
After hearing the words of the god of remorse, I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Was this the intention from the beginning?’
Somehow, I thought
these were lousy suggestions.
It wasn’t too difficult to understand the words of the God of Regret.
The old monster in front of me had declared that it would drive me to the brink of death and at the end decide whether to kill me or save me.
[ .... ]
Even if you are defeated by the God of Regret, there will be no way to survive.
I don’t know what criteria they’re going to measure me against.
At least in the course of battle, if they find out that I am a sprout that will grow into an ancient deity, then they will kill me without hesitation.
‘So I guess he’s saying that he’s going to measure it like
that...’ But he couldn’t even refuse a melee.
In fact, coming directly to the cradle means that you have entered the middle of enemy lines yourself.
Even if I was going to face everyone here anyway, I had no intention of running away.
He hadn’t expected that there would be a high-ranking deity, but even if the opponent was a high-ranking god, he didn’t think much of stepping back.
‘Maybe the God of Remorse doesn’t intend to touch me at least for now.’
It was worth it.
Currently, the god of remorse has declared that he will watch the situation and wait for other monarchs to help.
In a word, it meant that I would find out if the enemy could be dealt with through my battles.
If so, it wasn’t that he had to deal with all the other lords, including the God of Regret, all at once.
‘They’re probably thinking of moving after seeing my skills.’
Maybe Alton thinks he can pull out some meaningful information?
[Let’s fight each other with all our might from now on. ]
Soon after, the god of remorse said that and announced the duel.
Before I knew it, the god of remorse as well as the monarchs were looking down this way with sparkling eyes.
Even Alton was spitting out a low voice, distorting the goat’s face with excitement.
“You can look forward to it.”
Alton spoke ferociously, as if there was no need to hide his murderous intent and hostility.
“Because I’m not going to show any mercy to a son of a bitch who dared to insult my family’s arcane practices and twisted them.”
[
. I will cut your throat and offer it to my god.”
[ Anyway. ]
But I didn’t really care.
He knew that Alton wanted to take the position of Lord 62 anyway, and he was also aware of serving the god of despair, fall, and madness.
Perhaps, as soon as he learned that he was a challenger to the tower, his hostility was multiplied several times.
So, instead of resenting Alton’s hostility and his changed attitude, I licked my lips at the divinity I felt from him.
Really...
[Because I’m the one who wins anyway. ]
I was looking forward to it.
Although the duel itself with Alton was not expected, to be honest, the divinity itself was greedy.
So far, the total number of ‘spirit pieces’ obtained by defeating the apostles is two.
On the 21st floor, there were ‘Spirit Pieces’ obtained by killing Karnar Sagsis and an apostle serving the god of battle on Earth.
So now, killing Alton will give you a chance to acquire a new divinity.
Seeing this as an opportunity to gain a new divinity, I couldn’t help but smile with anticipation, and I looked at Alton and my eyes lit up.
“What is all this arrogance...”
The moment Alton clenched his fists, revealing his teeth as if he was displeased.
[Enough. ]
As it is, I cast black magic while looking at Alton, grafting a new technique onto the Divine Armor.
「The god of transcendence gazes at an insignificant creature and sentences death.」
【Black Halo】
[Now die. ]
In an instant, the black magic [Black Halo] flashes light while drawing a black halo.
“That’s like a dog again...”
Alton widened his eyes as soon as he saw the black halo, annoyed.
Unfortunately, his words did not carry on to the end.
Unnecessarily, before Alton could speak, he used the divine armor as a medium to activate the divine authority with the black magic [Black Halo].
「Using Divine < Death >」
「Can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >.」
「 Divine < Death > can be strengthened with black magic by [Black Halo].」
Divine < death > wouldn’t be immediately available to an ancient deity apostle like Alton.
Because beings with divine power have resistance to external divinity.
However, the story is different when the black magic [Black Halo] dwells.
“hot! The mighty power inherent in divinity? Even so, it doesn’t reach me... huh?”
Because it can lower the opponent’s external divine resistance itself, allowing them to die instantly.
「Divine < Death > reduces opponent’s divine power resistance with [Black Halo].」
“What is this...?”
[ bye. ]
Just like this.
next moment.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
「Absorbed the spirit of Pandemonium Lord ‘Alton Lemenaire’.」
「Absorbed the spirit fragment ‘■■■[3/3]’.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the Lord, bringing her 6.1% closer to the 2nd Ascension. .」
「Acquire the exclusive effect, ‘Dark Magic Control (C+)’ as a special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >
. 」
I couldn’t even resist and exploded.
The end was far too absurd for a formal apostle serving an ancient deity.
In the blink of an eye, a splendid fountain of blood and the scent of beasts spread everywhere, drawing eyes full of astonishment.
And I took it all in stride and said it.
[Now, this should have verified your skills, right? ]
The time for proving something is over.
[If all the monarchs do not join forces, it will be difficult to survive. ]
So...
[All at once.]
Now it was time to explosively accumulate the experience of Ascension.
