Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 103
103. Divinity (1)
Murim Meng.
I’ve heard about this organization once before from the iron blooded lord.
It’s a huge moderate organization in the Moorim dimension and at the same time it’s related to Namgoonghyeok, the sword dragon of the Changchun
.
Finding out about another dimension right away is not beneficial even if you know what information you have because you have to follow the constraints and conditions in many ways.
I don’t have good feelings because I made the Namgung family, who can be called Namgung-hyeok’s family, as pillars, and I almost died from Baek Seon-hak as a member of the Murimmaeng.
but.
―I will give you some respite. But fooling around will only lead to genocide.
The me in the mirror went beyond that level of emotion and was even talking about annihilation.
―If the Murim lord doesn’t come, everyone here will die.
He even makes a kind of threat and spews intangible life to those around him.
However, the level of his life was… wilder and more violent than he could have imagined.
A level that could easily kill a person just by conveying the pressure.
「The mastery of the skill ‘Magical Circuit’ is reduced by 0.04% due to the status ailment of Criminal Magic.」
However, I also felt that the overheating of the magic circuit was getting worse due to that level of violent killing.
This is because emotions are shared with me in the mirror to some extent by the current assimilation rate.
Although the loss of proficiency is still maintaining a decline of 0.01% to 0.07%…
As this small loss accumulates, it may turn into a big snowball and return to defeat.
―Kkeukkeuheoeouk… Somebody has to call the leader… the leader…!
―Don’t be fooled! It’s useless to listen to the words of a wicked devil…!
―Do you think you can return intact even after turning the Murim Meng into an enemy like this…!
Of course, even in the midst of this, the screen in the mirror did not stop and there was a commotion.
But it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t take my eyes off it for a moment like before.
‘We have to come up with a solution before it’s too late.’
Due to the trial of proof, all skills and powers that interfere with the current mind are sealed.
I had to cancel the state abnormality of the coin infancy through other means.
As I quickly came up with a solution, I suddenly remembered the existence of a mirror in my bosom.
Come to think of it…
It wasn’t that there wasn’t a way to overcome this situation at all.
「Mirror containing the high priest’s divinity」
「Grade: C+」 「High priest ‘John’ mirror
that contains his holy power every day.』
There is.”
“When the sacred shield is opened, mental contamination is also restored to some extent.”
If the skills and powers are sealed, all you have to do is use the item.
“…Perhaps the divine power of the god of proof contained in the mirror will lead the bearer to prove their own fate.”
Taking out the mirror from my chest, I felt relieved and immediately activated the item.
「The exclusive effect of the High Priest’s Divine Mirror (C+) is activated.」
「A holy shield surrounds you, and all mental contamination of a certain level is removed.」
Chow ah…!
In an instant, the mirror he held in his hand formed a protective film, and then inflated its size.
After a while, the size of the shield rose to the point where it could envelop me.
and-.
「The status abnormality ‘Coin Infancy’ is cancelled.」
I felt that the overheating of the magic circuit stopped as the Immersion in Coins that gnawed at my entire body was lifted.
「Achievement ‘Spirit of Steel’ has been achieved.」
「Physical strength has increased by 1.」
Not only that, but also achievements have been achieved by canceling Coin Infancy.
However, this amazing chain reaction did not end here and continued one more time.
「The user of this item is a challenger who receives the trials given by the God of Proof.」 「
The proof in the ordeal is adjusted to make it a little easier by the hidden exclusive effect.
」 」
Exclusive hidden effect
…
―…Perhaps the divine power of the god of proof contained in the mirror may lead the bearer to prove their own destiny.
The hidden phrase seen through the Fire Dragon’s Eye was clearly written that way.
Since it is said to be a hidden exclusive effect, it is probably the effect of the phrase I saw.
The mirror obtained from the arms of the first priest I encountered gave me more than I could have imagined.
‘The assimilation rate that has risen so far is not that high.’
Of course, I feel quite shaken mentally even with that low number…. The
current assimilation rate, which has risen to 30%, has not exerted a greater influence on me.
When they even caused a massacre like before, it was because the real me was also quite shocked.
This degree of assimilation can be said to be close to a sense of empathy or immersion.
In fact, while I was frantically scattering my life in the mirror, I was completely unaffected by it.
‘If the assimilation rate doesn’t rise, such a dangerous situation won’t happen.’
In fact, the message from the administrators came to mind to see if the guess was correct.
「Administrative ‘Iron-blooded Lord’ feels a sense of relief that the contractor has overcome a critical hurdle.』 「
Administrative ‘Hero of the Ruined World’ laughs, saying that he didn’t even think of the expedient you wrote.
」白鶴劍仙)’I’m very happy that the contractor’s condition has stabilized.」
Did most of them realize that I was out of the dangerous situation?
‘Really, even the managers seem to feel that I’m out of danger.’
Even the managers felt that one threat had passed, so it was time to focus on one.
―…Recently, I heard that there is a madman called a sword demon in Moorim.
Those who hesitated at the murderous spirit I spewed out in the mirror all gave way to those words.
A middle-aged man with a disquieting expression in a gray uniform walked through the divided crowd.
It’s like he’s holding back his irritation or he’s barely restraining some urge.
The middle-aged man continued with a smile on his disquieting and precarious face.
―Looking at it like this, I can feel that it can really be called a sword ghost.
and.
―Nice to meet you. I am Lee Jin-hwan, the leader of the Murim League. So what is your name a…. As soon as
the words were finished, I in the mirror didn’t open my mouth any more and kicked the ground.
***
Through the screen in the mirror, the scene where Kim Seung-hun and the future me fought was reproduced again.
This time, not on Earth, but in the form of a duel with another strong man in another dimension called Murim.
He is the head of a group that even the Namgung family, which is said to be the family of Changcheon Sword Dragon Namgung-hyeok, is a pillar.
He could never be weak, and his strength was felt even in the crazy battles that took place inside the mirror.
However, it was not only the process that was reproduced, but also the result.
Just like the battle in the Earth dimension, the fight in the Moorim dimension soon ended in a one-sided victory.
―…Cool. I don’t think even the Heavenly Demon was this strong. You really are a monster.
At the end of the battle that wiped out the whole area, the Murim lord Lee Jin-hwan lay face down on the ground and vomited blood.
On the other hand, the me in the mirror casually brushed off the blood on the two swords.
There was no sign of injury, and there was no disturbance of breathing.
Of course, I was strong in the mirror… but I didn’t have the pure skills to push Lee Jin-hwan to the point of not getting tired at all.
However, not showing signs of injury at all was another matter.
“…”
I in the mirror once said that the members of the Moorim Order will be spared.
It was a lie.
As soon as the Murim lord Lee Jin-hwan arrives, the me in the mirror kills all the members around him.
After that, he retrieved all the signs of absorption of the rising spirit with his fingertips and used them in battle.
So, despite the similarity of skill, it led to a one-sided victory.
―…That’s absurd. Even killing all the members who said they would spare them. Are you not paying attention to what you say?
The Murim lord Lee Jin-hwan, who was lying on the floor and bleeding, also said it as if it were ridiculous.
―If no one hears it, you will be able to pick up the useless words.
On the contrary, the me in the mirror responded with a smirk.
and.
―The Heavenly Demon God, the Black Society, and the Murim League. Now, the sickening bad relationship ends here.
Soon, the me in the mirror approached the Murim lord with a fishy smile as if I felt relieved.
-what? What’s that… The mad beast who killed the Heavenly Demon and the Black Socialist…!
Chow!
Then, the neck of the Murim Lord Lee Jin-hwan, who distorted his face as if in shock, soared into the sky.
It was a monster-like move that didn’t reveal the feeling of being human anywhere… but
even that, I turned my steps while absorbing the spirit of the Murim Lord as if I was used to it in the mirror.
It was as if his heart was not moved by this level of murder, and his emotions were not stirred.
Jijik.
Right after that, the perspective on the screen in the mirror changed and I saw myself fighting in countless dimensions.
I, in the mirror, becoming infinitely stronger after slashing down dozens of hundreds of thousands of enemies… I
was in a state like a kind of monster, soaked in madness and craving only growth.
Over dozens of times, the screen in the mirror changed, and I also changed my appearance in the mirror.
But there was one thing that didn’t change.
“He is a strong madman without a real answer…”
The future me who endlessly massacres in the mirror was never defeated.
It didn’t just apply to fights between individuals.
religion.
―…I will curse! To all the gods of Ares, I, the Pope, pray for your death!
nation.
―Stop this now… Didn’t you kill all the people of the Bo Bon King?… Please, only the main king…
Dimension.
-Nonsense…. Why does a guy who has conquered the Moorim dimension come to such a small dimension…!
The stronger the opponent, the stronger they become after defeating them.
But as time passed, the madness I felt in the mirror grew thicker and deeper.
It gave me goosebumps that such a crazy slayer was my future.
Seeing the scene of endless battles and massacres, I understood the purpose of the ordeal to some extent.
“Are you saying that if things were the way they were, I would have had to completely assimilate with this madman’s mind…?”
I could see why this was an ordeal with the grandiose title of proof of spirit.
The assimilation rate, which had only risen to 30%, now made me feel great pain welling up.
However, if this rate of assimilation increases as time passes, at the end…
‘It’s crazy.’
You will never be able to face the end of the ordeal in a normal state.
Perhaps it was worse than the ordeal of fighting for one’s life.
What remains at the end of this ordeal is that in the end it is either physical death or mental death.
However, I escaped the coin infancy and even suppressed the increase in assimilation rate by using the ‘Mirror with the High Priest’s Divine Power (C+)’.
Suffering is painful, and I was able to endure this much to some extent.
「I am shocked that the administrator, “Divine Seeker,” passed the ordeal with an expedient that you never thought of.」 「
The Administrator, the Priest of Penitence, expresses surprise that you remain in the insane state.」
「The Administrator The ‘gorourer’ complains of frustration, saying that he wants to see the scene you are looking in the mirror.」 It
seems that even the administrators could not have imagined that they would be able to pass the ordeal like this.
Even the managers didn’t seem to see what I was seeing in the mirror.
‘Surprisingly, even managers seem to have a lot of restrictions on observing trials.’
Of course, it was impossible to show all of this scene, so it was to my advantage that it was not revealed.
I collected my attention, paying attention to the manager’s message, and glared at the scene in the mirror.
Because I thought maybe you could find out why I became such a crazy person.
However, as time passed, the stimulating content seemed to run out, and compared to before, only evil deeds that seemed insignificant continued.
Absorbing the command while killing an unknown street bully…
After such an impactless killing scene, it is now easier to calm down.
Now, the key will be how well I manage my mental strength and endure it.
But…
‘If the sights they show are always at this level, there won’t be any big surprises.’
In fact, the outcome of this endurance battle was obvious.
***
How many trivial scenes have been reproduced on the screen in the mirror?
「I have proven that my convictions do not change.」
As I looked at the screen in the mirror, I regained my composure before I knew it, and the ordeal was over.
[The proof of the spirit is over.]
For an ordeal that caused the alarm of life to ring, it ended more blandly than I thought.
It’s not that I don’t think it’s really over, but…
In this case, I was really lucky, so the fact that I passed didn’t make me feel at all.
‘If I hadn’t picked up a mirror in the beginning, I would have almost died….’
He only survived because he brought the mirror of the priest who died at the beginning of the ordeal.
If he had met the proof of his sanity without any preparation, he would have died in nine out of ten cases.
It was the moment when I stood up from my seat while whipping my body, which had reached its limit slowly.
「The God of Proof is satisfied with the proof of the challenger Seong-Yoon Han.」
「The God of Proof wants to see the
challenger Seong-Yoon Han in person.
」 ?”
Instead of the message of clearing the ordeal, the message that the god of proof summons me came to mind.
I went to the point of death just by making eye contact, but being summoned to the realm of the gods?
‘This nonsense…’
I felt a strong reluctance and immediately took a precautionary stance…
“The god of proof acquires temporary authority by consuming holy power in the Tower of Trials.
” Observation of all managers related to challenger Han Seong-yoon in the ordeal will be forcibly stopped.”
As if all of that was meaningless, I soon felt a sense of floating in my body.
I tried to resist him, but soon the divine shield that spread around me tightened me as if I was being squeezed.
It was.
All of this divine protective shield was created by the divine power bestowed by the God of Proof.
Since I didn’t create it myself, of course I couldn’t have control over it.
“It’s big.”
That was the moment when I felt despair.
“The Tower of Trials permits the summoning of the challenger Han Seong-yoon as long as his personal safety is secured.”
I opened my eyes wide as I saw an unexpected message popping up.
‘Personal safety?’
Could it be that you can ensure your safety against the gods?
As well as the fact that the God of Proof just obtained temporary authority…
At present, there were not many messages that could be properly understood.
but.
“I would like to convey my will that the Tower of Trials is looking forward to challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
In the message that followed, I realized one thing for sure.
‘Does the Tower of Trials… recognize me…!?’
The Tower of Trials is not something that even gods can easily deal with.
Now that I am the one that the Tower of Trials is paying attention to.
“I enter the realm of the one who proves it.”
With that thought in mind, the scenery around me changed in an instant as if it were spinning.
[ hmm…? what? you? Why do I feel divinity in you? ]
Soon, I felt my throat burn at the majestic voice that resonated in my head.
There is no pressure, and unlike before, it is not conveying the meaning through system messages.
‘I can see… This is the god of proof.’
I could see that it was the God of Proof that was talking to me right now.
…Really, I was forcibly summoned to the realm of the gods.
damn it
