Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 191
191. Temple (3)
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh—!
The Great Forest, swallowed up by the starlight, quickly shrunk in size as it burned.
Really…
「Labyrinth Achievement ‘Human Talent (Unique)’ has been achieved.]
「Labyrinth score +15 points obtained.」
「Skill ‘Carnage (B+)’ is created.」
Even if it is a disaster itself It was good enough.
Even the fire caused by the holy light accelerated the expansion of its range because it was a good environment for fire to spread.
beyond what you imagined.
「A total of 37 challengers belonging to the < Dominance > camp have died.」
「A total of 41 challengers belonging to the < Oppression > camp have died…」
「A total of 18 challengers belonging to the < Nature > camp have died. He died…”
Should I say it was an unexpected income? Originally, I was thinking of pulling some aggro
and inducing all the enemies
to my place .
‘They’re all deities I’ve never heard of.’
Domination, oppression, nature…
I thought I encountered many gods in my own way while climbing the tower, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
I’m sure there are many gods who don’t know about this.
But there was no time to admire him.
He must be so…
「The god of control uses the right of nomination to the challenger Seong-yoon Han,
saying that he is arrogant .」
is used.」
The gods intervened in an unexpected way.
「Challenger Seong-yoon Han has received multiple nomination rights.」
「Challenger Seong-yoon Han’s location will now be revealed to all camps and she will be unable to stealth.」
But…
“Things are going well.”
This intervention did not do me much harm.
It was worth it.
In the first place, I activated the Holy Light needlessly and extravagantly to reveal the location.
‘At this point, it feels like the deities are helping me too, right?’
However, when he directly said no and let me reveal the location, I felt grateful.
Well, it was a bit awkward to be designated as non-stealth, but…
Isn’t it just a matter of not creating a situation where you have to hide anyway?
―Even in this situation, do you think it’s not worth it! This idiot with no countermeasures…! Don’t you know what it means that the gods are watching you!
However, Dam Chun-wu seemed to think otherwise, and he poured out words to me excitedly.
―Doesn’t the fact that it is possible to exert influence to the extent of revealing such a location mean that it can intervene even more than that!
That much is what I assumed.
Perhaps because of the nature of this giant tree labyrinth, which is deeply intertwined with the gods, I noticed that it became a good environment for the gods to use their strength.
The tower will have its hands in sanctioning the divinity in the giant tree labyrinth.
Perhaps, as the god of battle descended on the prospective apostle before, an unexpected crisis could break out.
But…
“If the Godhead intervenes anyway, it doesn’t matter whether it’s later or now, doesn’t it?”
The intervention of the Godhead is not something that can be avoided even if one tries to avoid it.
They said that it was better to get hit first…
Rather than give the initiative to the divine intervention later, it was right to take the lead and build the situation for this side.
“And I have the confidence to run away if I have to.”
Damcheonwu continued to speak in a tired tone.
―Really… I don’t know about anything else, but one of the tricks of making fun of the mouth is amazing…
But that doesn’t mean I was completely persuaded by my words.
―However, even if you wrap your sophistry in a plausible way, if you play the game like this, problems will inevitably arise.
It was worth it.
– Just like now.
As soon as he finished his words, a tremendous roar rang in his ears.
Koo-hoo-!
When I turned my head to where the sound came from, there was a wolf with red fur.
“The ruling god is watching the challenger Han Seong-
yoon.”
It’s also incredibly huge.
-You are a spirit. He’s got a big body… but he has quite a bit of energy for being a mere beast.
A wolf with a body that seems to exceed 100m even at first glance…
It was interesting.
I thought it was something like the ability to transform, but surprisingly it didn’t seem like it.
It was because a man with a cane stood on the head of a wolf with red fur.
‘Is it like a summoning skill?’
To be honest, I thought I could handle this easily.
There is no need to write a myth.
It took an opponent who was below the level to see that he used the holy light.
So I thought that maybe the aggro wasn’t attracted as well as I thought, but…
To put it bluntly, it was an illusion.
Deed—!
“The god of nature is watching the challenger, Han Seong-yoon.”
The trees that have not been burnt yet come together to create a huge wooden statue…
.
“The god of oppression is watching the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
Everything around me is crushed precisely around the location where I am standing.
“….”
I thought, resisting my body being suppressed by the unknown physical pressure.
‘…It seems to have succeeded in getting the eyes of the gods.’
The aggro itself seems to be attracted quite well.
And…
「The god of battle shows strong hostility toward the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
Chow-!
“Ha ha ha! to be stupid! Did you think this body would suffer from a useless show of strength!?”
Then, seeing the bloody tidal wave, I put a smile on my face.
That would be the case…
“God of battle! please look! Seeing me stepping on that ship…!!”
Because the long-awaited enemy has finally appeared.
―…You’ve got too many enemies.
Well, I did have more enemies than I thought…
– Do you have the confidence to handle them all?
I wasn’t too worried about that.
“Even if I don’t have the confidence to kill them all, I have the confidence to survive.”
「Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated.」
「All stats increase by +67.」
「Special buff < Undying War Hero > is activated.」
「All types of regeneration power increases by 100% until the end of the battle. Reduces all damage taken by 40%.”
Also…
“The special spell activation conditions have been met.”
“The special spell < Despise the Strong > is activated.
” And all skill efficiency increases by 100%.”
“Because I am naturally strong against bad luck.”
The more I’m cornered, the stronger I become.
***
thump thump thump…!
Katherine Bennet clenched her fists at the vague vibration that came from beyond the red barrier.
Currently, a fierce battle is taking place on the ground.
She recognized it right away.
It was worth it.
Even before the tower appeared, she had been active as an A-class hunter and had overcome numerous trials as a hard difficulty challenger.
Even if you don’t want to know the level of the fighting on the ground, it’s normal to notice.
So I couldn’t help but be terrified.
‘Can humans fight at this level…?’
Catherine Bennett was unmistakably strong.
Both as a hunter and as a challenger.
There were not many beings on Earth who could match her.
Because of that, Catherine Bennett was confident.
Han Seong-yoon, whom he saw in Tokyo, said he had caught up with him too.
So now I’ve reached a level where I can be useful enough for him.
That human being who seems to have somehow lost his taste…
can make it so that he won’t throw himself away casually anymore.
But…
‘there’s nothing I can do…’
It was an illusion.
Now Han Seong-yoon was not staying at the level where he was in a hurry to protect the city.
He had developed overwhelming power as if he had transcended the human race itself.
I fully felt that even after entering the giant tree labyrinth.
Even though all abilities should have been reset to the initial level of awakening, Han Seong-yoon showed an overwhelming appearance.
The skill itself was different.
I want to help him, but in reality there is nothing I can do.
Katherine Bennett opened her mouth with a sense of self-doubt.
“Even with this, can we still be called a team…. It doesn’t help him at all…”
She asked a question to her colleagues who had seen Han Seong-yoon so far.
“Is it okay to be casually in a safe place like this?”
With the optimistic thought that maybe there might be other alternatives for my colleagues.
“…it can’t be helped. To Sungyoon, being a team means nothing. We are small fish.”
But it wasn’t.
“It’s already not a battle that humans can do. You can feel it. entire. If you enter there, you will die.”
Oh Chun-seok let out a self-deprecating sneer while sitting in a corner hugging his knees.
“I have tried hard enough. I tried to complicate the skill tree, and I tried to make full use of my magical abilities.”
His eyes had lost their color and were dead.
“You know what?”
A few floors earlier, Oh Chun-seok had maintained such lifeless eyes.
“Is the shield or buff ability more helpful than the ability accumulated in-depth while climbing the tower?”
All that was left in his eyes was despair.
“Isn’t that funny? Everything I’ve risked my life to build up to this point… can be combined with just a few shields and a few buffs.”
Catherine Bennett could not answer.
“Now I… can’t… think I can do anything.”
Because there was nothing wrong with that.
Even Kim Seung-hoon gave an opinion that was not very different.
“If it’s not helping you when you’re tired, it won’t help much.”
And…
“For now, it’s probably best to just make sure I don’t hold onto Han Seong-yoon’s ankles.”
Upon hearing that, Katherine Bennet realized that there was no answer after all.
‘If a miracle doesn’t happen, nothing can be changed…’
All I can do in this situation is to pray.
But it wasn’t even that it didn’t work at all.
‘I was told he was the god of darkness…’
There was a fact that he learned while climbing the tower.
That God is a real being and gives the believer the power appropriate for their faith.
On the first floor of the giant tree labyrinth, she once received the favor of the dark god.
Soon Katherine Bennett thought.
Maybe…
‘May be able to make a miracle happen…’
I don’t know if it’s possible to receive power from the dark god.
Of course, I didn’t really believe in the dark god, but it was just a blessing…
that was enough.
‘If there is a possibility, it’s worth trying.’
Katherine Bennett prayed earnestly with her hands folded and her eyes closed.
Please give me the strength to help him, even if it’s just for a moment.
[Whoops. poor kid Maybe I’m thinking too cute. ]
And…
[Do you really want to help that moth-like child? ]
A miracle really happened.
***
At first, all enemies targeted me and fought fiercely.
oh oh oh oh!
The red wolf, presumed to be a summoned beast, howled and swung its paws wildly with murderous intent.
Kigigigiggig—!
The gigantic wooden statue made of giant trees tried to crush me with restrained movements.
Quaaaaaang—!
Vampires who serve the god of battle constantly chatter and use a tidal wave of blood to attack.
―Regeneration ability is meaningless.
―If you allow the blow and your movement is wasted even for a moment, there will be no time to evade from then on.
―Perhaps they will unite and attack you without stopping in order to kill you. So never get hit
Of course, I didn’t even get past all those attacks.
‘It’s strange that his abilities have risen like this, but he’s getting hurt.’
Even Dam Chun-wu gave me advice and activated his auxiliary ability, so I got used to avoiding it.
Now, after dodging at all, I can mix attacks with combos whenever I have time.
After a little more time, I thought that maybe someone could definitely handle it.
‘If I don’t distribute the damage with a specific target, I can definitely kill someone.’
But…
“…!?”
As the time to fight gradually increased, an unexpected situation occurred.
Wow!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You fucking son of a bitch! Who are you laying your hands on?!”
A vampire serving the god of battle was suddenly ambushed by a red wolf.
“Pheh! Then, did you think we would join hands and aim for the same enemy haha-ho-ho?”
However, the man sitting on the head of the red wolf sneered as if he was dumbfounded.
“It’s a pity for the vampires who lack intelligence, but this isn’t an alliance.”
And…
“I just thought it would be better to kill you than target that guy, so don’t feel unfair.”
From that point on, the aspect of the battle has completely changed.
“The damn mongrel subject…! You say you want to die that much, but I can’t stop you! I’ll kill you myself!”
Really…
‘What kind of situation is this?’
It became the opening itself.
「The god of battle is extremely angry and rages!」
「The god of dominance sneers at me, saying that the slowness of his head is also a problem!」
「The god of nature turns his eyes away from challenger Seongyoon Han and looks at someone else!」
「The god of oppression himself I growl to tell anyone who looks at me to lower those unlucky eyes!” What’s
even absurd is that the situation has gotten a little more serious as they start fighting each other like this.
「The god of battle casts < Advent > by consuming divine power and authority of Advent.」
“The god of dominance casts < Advent > by consuming divine power and authority of Advent…”
“The god of nature casts divine power and consuming the Advent authority to cast < Advent >…」 「The god of oppression consumes the divine power and Advent authority
to cast < Advent >…」
It turned into a 2 vs 2 battle…
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam—!!
They seemed to be hiding their strength from each other, and started fighting more fiercely while using < Advent >.
“…”
I felt it.
‘If it continues like this, it will be a bad situation for me.’
For now, it would be nice to hide and stare at the fisherman, but…
I could see that the situation was close to the opposite.
Since they both used < Advent >, they should be able to stop fighting and target me.
Then I didn’t have the confidence to accept them.
‘I didn’t expect to use < Advent > like this.’
Originally, the intention was to deal with the conceited enemy as carefully as possible with a numerical superiority of 4 to 1… but
things did not work out as well as expected.
Accumulate damage slowly and finish off the enemy by the time they are fully accustomed to dodging.
That was my strategy, but if this doesn’t work, there’s little I can do.
‘I can’t help it…’
In the end, I had to make a decision.
‘This is an unconditional strategic retreat.’
He chose to get away from the battlefield and replenish the commanders.
There were people who died due to the holy light before, so it should be enough to absorb those spirits.
And the situation changes again when a new trick is created by skill synthesis at the point where they are fighting each other.
Since we started giving strength to each other, I also need to supplement.
‘It’s strange that I didn’t take this out.’
I quickly turned around and ran away.
“The dark god smiles.”
…No, I was trying to run away.
「The god of darkness consumes divine power and the right to descend to cast < Advent >.」
Whoa!
Until a black light shined down from the clear sky and a message appeared saying that < Advent > was used.
But something was strange.
“Why is that thing coming out of there…?”
The location where the Dark God is supposed to have cast < Advent > is…
“The God of Darkness has < Advent > on the prospective apostle ‘Catherine Bennett’
.”
It was undoubtedly the place where I created a barrier to protect my comrades.
