384. Master of strategy (5)
There is no need to waste time.
As it is often said that a thousand words is worth a thousand words...
Rather than talking about assassination methods that only ancient deities can execute, it would be better to just show them what they are trying to do, as if lecturing them once.
‘Anyway, after seeing it myself, I won’t be arguing about what I’m doing right or wrong.’
It was the option that could most certainly explain the meaning of this side.
“...”
I wasn’t too worried.
At most, this was all about killing a certain monarch called the Dark Emperor.
Among the numerous enemies he faced while climbing the tower, there were those who held more power than any country’s monarch, but nothing changed.
‘There is no need to spend more time on an enemy who is only at the level of a mortal like the Dark Emperor.’
It was natural.
Wasn’t the winner always this way?
Then there was no need to worry any more.
‘It’s just a challenge that I can eat raw.’
The moment I walked out of the small building with the meeting room with a slight sneer on my lips.
Jijijijijijik———!
【Welcoming Vortex】
As it is, the mana in the body was immediately converted into demonic energy, and the black magic with the modified formula was deployed.
If I had to compare it, should I say that it was a change from a personal elevator to a multi-person elevator? In the middle of the exploration base, a black space movement passage made of black magic opened.
This one wasn’t particularly difficult to see.
But is it different to them?
“What else is that...”
“The ability of the space movement system?”
“It’s not enough that I have that much magic power, so I have the ability to specialize in space...”
Suddenly, the other challengers expressed their surprise when they saw that I opened the passage of space movement with black magic.
It was obvious why he was doing that.
Maybe it’s because unlike this side, normal challengers don’t have a case of mastering not only combat skills but also some kind of auxiliary ability
.
And even if that wasn’t the case, it wasn’t difficult to hone my auxiliary abilities, as I had abilities like Necromancy or Shinhwa’s < Possibility of Transcendence >.
So I licked my lips casually.
“I opened the road to the imperial palace, so you can go this way.”
And...
the chak-.
Soon, the moment I crossed the passage of space movement made of black magic.
‘Is it over there?’
It was only then that I was able to see a city in the center of the dark world.
It was as if a city in the demon realm was half mixed with an imperial palace in another world.
At first glance, it might look like a palace with nothing special about it, but that’s just the exterior.
“It’s like an iron wall.”
It was worth it.
It was because the imperial palace in front of me was protected by something like an unknown barrier or magic circle.
Not even that.
I thought it had some similarities with the Demon Realm, but as if it wasn’t really different, the imperial palace was protected not only by barriers and magic circles, but also by some kind of demonic divinity.
That too is at a fairly high level.
‘It’s not like I received the grace of a demon, one of the ancient deities.’
If I had to argue, I would have to say that it was closer to the divinity of one of the higher deities.
That means one thing.
It’s nothing else...
‘Then I don’t have to worry about taking care of myself.’
As a matter of fact, it didn’t really matter if the other side did the sword dance as they wished.
‘It’s something I’m really looking forward to.’
But is it just this side’s point of view?
All of the challengers from Earth who came here had a look of discouragement on their faces.
Even those who had teamed up together while climbing the tower in the past didn’t seem to think that this side would succeed in the assassination.
“...Seongyoon-nim. I’m sorry as soon as I haven’t seen you in a long time. I would like you to reconsider the solo assassination of the Dark Emperor.”
Sachio Michimoto, who approached us at some point, said with a gloomy expression.
“...I also tried to attack the Dark Emperor as an assassin, but I couldn’t break through the strict protection facilities of the imperial palace.”
And that’s not all.
“...I am angry at Michael’s author’s logic of using the Challenger as an expendable item, but this is not an easy decision to make.”
The moment I try to answer him with something.
“...That’s the same with me. Sungyoon Han. I know you’re stronger, but I think this time is an exception. I’m sorry.”
Chen Shaoling suddenly interrupted the conversation and continued.
“Even if you have the most overwhelming power among the challengers from Earth, you won’t be able to produce good results if you are sealed with your fighting abilities and equipment by the dimensional cradle.”
For some reason, Chen Shaoling’s expression was full of concern.
“I can’t accept that the one who is called the best power on the planet gets hurt like that.”
As if I was against anything that could seriously injure me.
In fact, the emotions felt inside her body were real, not lies.
Sustian’s face turned white.
“What does that mean?”
Kwajijijijijik———!
A horrific spectacle that seems befitting the end of the world.
The sky splits in half, and space is distorted between them, revealing fragments of destruction.
Truly, the calamity of destruction that seemed to destroy at least one world was about to crush the imperial palace.
“...”
That was the last memory Sustian kept.
***
In an instant, I twisted the space in front of me with my right hand outstretched.
「The transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > is activated.」
「From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s divine operation will have the divine effect of < Spirit Unbreakable >.
」 You can become equal with your opponent.」
「※If you cannot withstand the accumulated burden from the rise in rank, the power of < Spirit Indomitability > may stop.」 「From
now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < Autonomy Control >. .”
「※It becomes possible to freely adjust and handle the spirit you possess.」
Before you know it, the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > has been added, and the distortion of space has accelerated.
‘It’s fun.’
And I followed that with a big twinkle in my eyes and a smile on my lips.
It was quite fun when I used the exclusive effect of a native deity that I had obtained while climbing the tower.
Somehow, it was not enough to activate the skills that gave corrections related to various destructions, and even use the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning > to crush the space, creating a very interesting scene.
Quagga gag gag gag———!
The protection of the divine spirit mixed with demonic energy that had been surrounding the imperial palace had already been crushed and disappeared.
And if that wasn’t enough, even the barrier magic inherent in various parts of the imperial palace or the magic circle for interception were hopelessly caught up in the distortion of space.
In the blink of an eye, everything in my field of vision was crushed and several pleasant system messages appeared.
It’s nothing else...
「Challenger Seong-yoon Han’s victory against the mage brought him 0.009% closer to [Transcendence].” 「
Challenger Seong-yoon Han’s victory against the mage brought him 0.008% closer to [Transcendence]....”
“Challenger With Han Seong-yoon’s victory against the magician, he was 0.007% closer to [Transcendence]...” “
....”
All of the challengers from other worlds within the imperial palace died en masse before he knew it.
I guess I couldn’t resist this side’s exclusive effect ‘Distortion’
.
「By the skill ‘Pure Mana Punishment of Mother Nature’, challenger Han Seong-yoon falls into a state of ‘exhaustion’
.
” Challenger Han Seong-yoon fell into a state of ‘hallucination’ due to the ‘Seven Spirits of Phantom’ running...」
Now that it’s at this point, are you going to change the way you respond?
Shoot Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, from the imperial palace, a number of mana or demonic skills or magic flooded in, but it didn’t matter. 「The Transcendence Myth < Absolutely Unchanging > is activated.
」
As long as there is the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >, there’s no way I’ll be attacked like that.
I didn’t mind, and I continued for another minute, accelerating the distortion of space.
「Achievement ‘Master of Space’ has been achieved.」
「Skill ‘Seize Space (A+)’ is created.」
「...」
and....
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against the Dark Emperor [Transcendence] 0.41% closer to .」
「Absorbed the spirit of the dark emperor, ‘Zernium’.」
「...」
Finally.
Soon, the moment when the imperial palace in the center of the dark world disappeared without leaving a speck of dust.
System messages appeared in front of me, announcing that the stage of the dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > was over.
「Dimension Cradle < Dark World [E-01] > challenge cleared.」「
※As a reward for completing the challenge, all stats increased by +10.」
「※As a reward for completing the challenge, the ‘Random item box( B+)’ will be sent.」
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge, ‘Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「Move to the next stage.」
“It’s over.”
At that, I turned my head and looked at the place where the challengers from Earth were standing.
“Hey...”
And then.
“I think this is enough of the proof that this side insisted on doing...”
Soon after, I walked over and talked to a black man among the challengers from Earth.
“So who do you think it’s your turn to prove?”
“....”
Michael was speechless, and before long his eyes broke out in a cold sweat.
...However, the answer did not come back this time either.
