Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 233
233. Common area on the 21st floor (1)
I once stopped by the common area on the 10th floor.
“Move to the common area on the 21st floor.”
It was a common area where all the challengers in the Earth dimension gathered…
At that time, it was used as a place to acquire various skills through the arena system.
Thanks to that, I was able to create some good skills that I still use.
I had never looked more deeply into the common areas than that.
「You have entered the common area on the 21st floor.」
Just…
「Observation by the administrators will be possible without conditions after 10 minutes.」
At that time, I only thought that the common area was a place where challengers could actively interact.
But was there some kind of mistake?
Clap-!
When I opened my eyes, knights in black armor were all around me and looking at me.
I frowned at him in dismay.
“What is this again….”
He looked as if he knew he would be here.
As I was watching it, a bad thought came to my mind for a moment.
‘Could all these knights be challengers to the gods?’
Maybe some deity knew that I would come to this place and planned it in advance.
In fact, during the trial on the 20th floor, the God of Balance also said that he would sincerely oppose me.
There were as many deities as one could imagine.
And that was also why they had to send their followers to kill me.
‘…I’m sure I’m going to get in the way, so I might try to kill him right here.’
Of course, the Godheads must have known that nothing would happen if one of them performed < Advent >…
There was also the possibility that some of the knights present here were apostles of other gods.
If so, it was pretty dangerous.
That would be the case too….
It’s because the power of deification is on cooldown.
‘If I don’t use deification, it will be difficult to deal with more than one deity using < Advent >.’
In other words, it means that it is wise to take out right away in this place.
Perhaps, using the acquired skills, it would be possible to drag out time and run away.
As I moved my hand to the hilt, I thought about what to do.
That will increase your chances of escaping.
But it was only for a while that I thought about it.
Raising the tension, I put my hand on the blade of the twin swords, and one of the knights came out in front and opened his mouth.
“We are the vigilantes of the common area on the 21st floor.”
Unlike other knights, it was a knight wearing pure white armor.
“The manager who signed the contract with the affiliated dimension challenger nickname.”
By the way…
“If you tell me all three, I’ll give you access to the common areas.”
As if all of this was a futile idea, the knight didn’t say anything about the godhead.
I just ask them to reveal the information as if threatening with a sword.
Only then did I realize
It means that they are not the same gods sent by the godhead.
‘Did I worry for a long time unnecessarily?’
But that doesn’t change the situation in their favour.
The knights surrounding him now had a clear, albeit faint, tinge of murder.
In other words, it means that they may try to kill me in case of emergency.
Even the knight’s request is not justified.
“Is there anything else to do other than setting the access to the common area with the same challengers?”
After all, this common area on the 21st floor is just an exchange space created by the tower.
It didn’t look like they were arguing whether to go in or out with this.
But didn’t the article think so?
“You are not given the right to ask such questions.”
He said with a thicker breath.
Suuu-!
“If you do not cooperate, you will be arrested and interrogated, so it will be beneficial for you to answer meekly.”
It was as if someone like me could be overpowered at any time.
At this point there is nothing more to see.
I twitched the corner of my mouth and smiled at him.
I didn’t expect it to come out so violently…
“Arrest and interrogate…”
Rather, it went well.
“Do whatever you want.”
Even if it wasn’t, it was a car I was curious about.
“If you can do that.”
How far will the newly acquired skills go?
***
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere calmed down.
The silence reminds me of the night before the storm.
But that didn’t last long either.
He must be…
“…after all, he made such a foolish choice.”
It was because the knight in the pure white armor began to overflow with the thickest flesh.
“If you don’t answer the question, it means you’re a villain.”
and.
“Curse that shameless life and die.”
In the blink of an eye, a knight in pure white armor pulled out a long sword and swung it brilliantly.
I glanced at the sword attack that continued in an amicable trajectory, and inside I laughed.
It was worth it.
Even though he could put a flame-like aura on his sword, the level wasn’t that high.
‘It’s just about being able to freely handle the nature of sword flame.’
to the point of ridicule
I never thought I’d reach the level of sword flame that I had already completed on the 13th floor until the 21st floor… Even though
my growth is slow, it’s too slow.
If he grew up like that, wouldn’t he be able to deal with swordsmanship only after reaching the 30th floor?
But that’s why it was suitable as an opponent to test a new skill.
‘In this way, I can use the skill as I want without hesitation.’
In response, I took a big step back to avoid the sword flame and immediately reached out my left hand.
「The skill ‘Abyssal Lineage’ is strongly activated.」
Shririk—!
And at the same time, the divine power was consumed, and black tentacles sprouted from the fingertips and stretched out here and there.
It was quite different from the skill effect I used when I was in the waiting room.
It was worth it.
It’s because I applied the ability of skill enhancement, which is an A+ grade divine power effect.
‘Skills that are strengthened with divine power are like this.’
The black tentacles were running faster and more ferociously than before.
has definitely changed
very strong too.
Admiring how much stronger he was than before, I manipulated the black tentacles and pierced several black knights intact.
Let’s go…!
“Keah kuh uh! I can’t breathe…”
“Eyes eyes eyes…! shit! I can’t see ahead…!”
“Rotten! Was it a devil worshiper who had mastered the magic of the abyss! Watch out everyone!”
Surprisingly, it seems that there was an additional effect on the Abyssal lineage skill.
Those whose bodies were pierced by the black tentacles all collapsed complaining of different pains.
“Is that what happens when you get hurt by the black tentacles?”
I smiled at him, controlling the black tentacles with my fingertips.
“It’s a better ability than I thought.”
Presumably, getting hit by the black tentacles seemed to randomly paralyze one of the five senses.
There is no injury more fatal than losing your five senses in battle.
Originally, I thought it would be a kind of skill because I could only use black tentacles…
Surprisingly, it seemed worthwhile to try using it a bit more.
It was then.
“Because you’re like this demon…! I’ll slaughter all those ugly fingers…!”
Sucker-!
The sword of the knight in pure white armor was swung around, cutting off some of the black tentacles.
Well, the black tentacles aren’t part of my body anyway, so there’s no damage…
But I felt a little bad.
“Being a nuisance.”
In response, I immediately activated the skill by consuming additional divine power.
「Skill ‘Deceleration on designated target’ is strongly activated.」
「Challenger ‘Greg Lizzlet”s all speeds are reduced by 40% for 4 minutes.」
Satisfied to see that the duration of the skill has been increased by 4 times from the original due to being strengthened by divine power. It was embarrassing.
‘The skill effect itself didn’t get stronger, but the increased duration of the skill is sufficient reinforcement.’
A 40% reduction in all speeds was by no means a small debuff.
Attack speed, movement speed, action speed, etc…
Because it’s downgrading a lot of speeds by 40% at once.
actually-
“Damn… Damn…!”
The snow-white knight was moving his body as if his movements were blocked by an invisible force.
With this, even the pure white knights with decent skills are now excluded
.
It’s very simple too.
Let’s go, let’s go!
The black tentacles created by the Abyssal Lineage skill stabbed countless knights in the blink of an eye.
With that, the battle was virtually over.
That would be the case too…
“Ughhhhhh! Oh, the darkness…! Darkness arrives…! Hee-hee!”
“Who has bugs in their eyes! There are bugs crawling in my eyes.
“Hahahaha! Abyss, abyss…! The abyss swallows everything!”
It was because the knights stabbed by the black tentacles soon developed hallucinations.
It was not enough to seal one of the five senses, so it even caused delirium…
It was a skill that a challenger with a bad taste would have really liked if he had acquired it.
However, I didn’t want to waste time, so instead of maximizing delirium with the black tentacles, I extended my black tentacles down at the white knight.
“Do you think you’re going to get hit by the magic of the abyss…!!”
The knight in pure white armor swung his sword in such rage, but… a
state where all speeds were reduced by 40% by the skill ‘decelerate target target’.
Therefore, the black tentacles pierced the pure white armor without being cut by the sword, and inflicted effective blows on him.
Woowook!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
And at the same time, a scream erupted from him, and sobs lingered in his ears.
‘Has this roughly settled the situation?’
Even the pure white knight who seemed to be the head of the knights was subdued…
Now there was nothing to hold back.
Soon after, I deactivated the Abyssal Lineage skill and approached the pure white knight.
Is there no resistance to this type of skill?
He was lying on the floor, wriggling like an earthworm.
“Kkeukkeuheu….”
“Now we can talk quietly to each other.”
“Hehe. What the hell did you do to me—!”
“I have no right to question you.”
Wow!
Returning the words the white knight had told me earlier, I immediately stepped on his torso.
「The skill ‘Pain Amplification’ is activated.」
「From now on, the opponent you deal damage will feel the pain twice as much.
」
As soon as blood flowed from the site pierced by the black tentacles, the pure white knight let out a moan.
At that, I looked down at the squirming pure white knight and clicked my tongue.
He was busy crying out in pain on a topic that he had been talking about so much before.
Holding back the scorn that slowly built up, I opened my mouth.
“Why did you try to dig up information about me?”
However, the pure-white knight trembled in pain and fought wildly.
“…I have nothing to tell you, a bug. Aren’t you ashamed to use such dirty power?”
“very.”
“As expected… the evil one is the evil one. That sin will surely be paid back someday. An idiot who gave his soul to the abyss.”
“…”
I sighed as I saw the pure white knight teasing me harshly.
“The challengers in another dimension are this guy and that guy, and there is no normal person…” I was
dumbfounded to see me calling me a villain even though I was the one who struck first.
It was all the more so because he didn’t know that he really believed that he was justice.
But it was only for a moment that he let out a sigh like that.
The snow-white knight who had been trampled on by his feet gave an eerie smile.
“Phehe. It’s useless to ask anything. As a knight, I won’t tell the wicked anything.”
Do you think it’s like making a noble sacrifice?
Seeing the pure-white knight showing his determined resolve, I smiled.
If you don’t want to give me a proper answer, just make me think about it.
“okay?”
and.
“Then shall we find out how long we can hold out?”
next moment.
「The skill ‘Torture Skill’ is activated.」
「From now on, you can use a more natural torture method.」 「It becomes easier to instill fear
and the efficiency of all types of torture increases by 10%.」
It flashed and created black tentacles at the fingertips.
