218. Climber (1)
[This nonsense... nonsense...]
The usurper looked down at the sword that pierced his heart and muttered with his eyes wide open.
[Forcibly destroying the divinity...]
Didn’t I know that I would die instantly with this blow?
It probably refers to the divine power < Death > or the special power ‘Sasinan’...
I wasn’t too surprised.
Divinity < Death > gives death to everything, and the power within the Shinigami created accordingly is the power to create a weakness that leads to death.
It was as if the defeat of the usurper had already been predestined at the time of this encounter.
‘It’s strange to survive even after being hit with this authentically.’
So, the tower also printed out the ordeal clear message.
Because there is no way for the usurper to survive anymore.
However, as if he thought he could still survive, the usurper began to wriggle his hands and feet.
[It can’t end like this... It can’t end... A little more power...]
And at the same time, his eyes lit up with boundless greed.
A person who has plundered the power of countless people and gathered enough status to become a god of one dimension.
To think that I am seeing the end of such an existence is a new feeling...
but I didn’t want to see it for too long.
‘It doesn’t feel good.’
It was worth it.
After all, the usurper is somewhat similar to me.
The desire to become stronger and coveting the power of others without knowing the end were similar.
But it was only natural that he couldn’t be in a good mood seeing the end.
[Now it’s really over. ]
At that, I immediately activated the divine power while frowning.
「I use the divine < death >.」
After that, the usurper’s body stopped moving.
Just like that, the usurper’s body turned to ashes and disappeared in an instant.
Climbing the tower, I didn’t even have time to enjoy the fact that I had won against a godhead for the first time, and a new message came to my mind.
「Challenger Seongyoon Han is 7.4% closer to ascension by winning against Divinity.」「As a
special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >, you will obtain the exclusive effect, “Increase in Divinity Recovery Speed (B+).」 「From
now on, Sungyoon Han’s Divinity Power recovers faster than before.”
< Divinity Ascension > was activated by the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >.
That also resulted in a 7.4% rise in Ascension.
Even as a special reward, ‘divine recovery speed increase (B+)’ was obtained, and the consumed divine power began to fill up quickly.
Certainly, unlike before, I could feel a tremendous amount of power dwelling in my body.
Enjoying that pleasant growth, I smiled a little.
[ .... ]
Now, with the level of divinity rising, I felt like I could do something fun with my divine power.
In response, I immediately activated the divine power.
「The authority ‘sacred power’ is activated.」
Originally, it was not possible to use very useful power only with the divine power authority.
At most, it was only to protect the body from the power of the divine authority.
If there were any other uses, it would be to cover the skin with divinity and emit light.
But now it’s different.
「Time ends.」
「The divine power, ‘Apotheosis’, is deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours.」
Even without using Apotheosis, I was able to use divine power in a new way.
Just like this.
Blasphemy!
In the blink of an eye, the divine power that flowed outside turned into ice.
Even with divinity.
The ice created by the divine power freely changed its shape and took on various forms.
I made up my mind and soon absorbed the usurper’s command.
「Absorbed the command of ‘Eold Balkan,’ the god of usurpation.」
「Skill increased by 27%.」
And at the same time, Necromancy proficiency increased tremendously.
Accordingly, the message of raising the level of necromancy came to mind.
Indeed, it is the growth of a unique characteristic that has been experienced for a long time, so expectations are rising.
「The mastery of the unique property ‘Necromancy’ has reached 100%.」 「The grade of
the unique property ‘Necromancy’ has gone up by one level#^&*!...」
It didn’t happen.
Instead, the sentence of the system message was broken as it was, and before long, new messages came to mind.
「...」
「Since the conditions are not satisfied, the level of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ does not increase.」 「
Until the growth condition is satisfied, the mastery of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ is fixed at 99.99%. 」
“What is this again...”
Didn’t meet the conditions?
I couldn’t understand.
So far, I have watched the growth of necromancy several times, but the system message is broken and the growth is not blocked.
There was never even a separate condition for growth.
I frowned at him, but aside from that, power extraction began soon after.
「Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the power extraction judgment begins.」
Looking at the power extraction message that seemed to block my view, I continued my thoughts.
‘...Could it be that the S grade of Necromancy has a separate growth condition?’
The guess itself didn’t seem wrong.
Unlike normal unique characteristics, necromancy can also get divinity for free when it reaches A rank.
Probably, the benefits to be gained when Necromancy achieves an S rank are enormous.
So it’s not that the new effect is so fraudulent that it wouldn’t make sense if growth conditions were added.
However, the problem is what are the conditions for the newly created grade increase.
‘It’s not just about raising the level of proficiency, it’s a condition that needs to be addressed separately.’
It’s not even that I don’t get it at all.
Necromancy is the power to deal with death.
Looking at the Divine Authority < Death > and < Immortality >, necromancy was closely related to death-related abilities.
Therefore, perhaps this grade-up condition is also related to death.
「Judgment successful.」
「It has been confirmed that authority exists in the spirit of ‘Eold Barkan,’ the god of usurpation.」
「Extracts power from the spirit.」
「Special authority ‘Create Divine Realm (C+)’ is applied to the user. It will be imprinted on Han Seong-yoon’s soul.”
Of course, it’s just speculation, so I can’t be sure...
But I couldn’t dismiss it as meaningless.
Necromancy is the source of my growth, so I had to satisfy the conditions for increasing my grade.
That way it will grow faster.
Having concluded that, I immediately used the usurper’s command.
「Absorbs the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation, and permanently increases stats.」
「Muscle strength increased by 12.」 「Agility increased
by 9.」 「Stamina increased by 11.」
「Magic power increased by 12.
It has increased by 19.」
「Durability has increased by 9.」
Then.
「You have absorbed the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation, and have satisfied the special conditions.」 「
You can acquire one of the divinities possessed by the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation.」
「Current acquisition The potential divinities that can be used are < Seize > < Destroy > < Rules > < Activation >.」 「
※ The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an option later.」
The time to acquire a new divinity has come.
