Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 305

305. Melee (1)

A smile forms on Alton’s goat-like face.

[ …. ]

I think I put on a poker face in my own way to hide my intentions

.

Right now, Alton is obviously looking down on me, and he’s staring at me as if he’s aiming for prey.

‘So absurd.’

sure

Even if this is not a skill to read emotions mastered through faith, is it not obvious?

cradle.

The answer was fixed at the time I was invited to a meeting where only a 1:1 duel would determine the ranking of monarchs.

That’s very certain.

‘At least I didn’t invite me to a duel meeting with good intentions.’

Perhaps what Alton wants is my seat.

alkyd.

In the position obtained by killing the goblin, the 62nd ruler of the Demon Realm, Alton was showing the light of greed.

And in fact, he had been secretly interested in the position of the 62nd monarch.

‘Is it because I’m inviting you to a place like a cradle because I want to get a seat that I have?’

After thinking for a while, I was able to read Alton’s purpose.

But even so, he had no intention of not falling for Alton’s numbers.

If you stay like this anyway, you will have to fight a melee surrounded by countless lords of the demon realm.

Perhaps because Alton knows this, he shines the light of greed so confidently.

“I’ll ask you to make a wise choice…”

Actually

…

Suddenly, Alton bent his eyes like a snake and spoke as if threatening.

‘…It’s fun.’

At this point, even if I was curious, I wanted to shake off Alton’s base cloth.

What the hell are you hiding, do you think you can overwhelm me with that level of skill at best?

Even if you are an apostle serving an ancient deity, there must be limits anyway.

I was intrigued to think that maybe I had received some kind of power from an ancient deity.

‘I need to at least find out what I believe in and how confident I am.’

It was worth it.

If you’re hiding something like an apostle of an ancient deity, you’ll be able to use it as it is.

And above all, isn’t there information obtained from Alton?

The position of the supreme monarch of the Pandemonium must be obtained by killing at least six more monarchs.

If so, it would have been foolish to reject Alton’s offer here.

‘I’m going to take you to a restaurant myself, but there’s no need to refuse it.’

So I smiled and nodded my head.

[ Having said that, I also wonder what kind of place the cradle is. ]

“Then…?”

[I will participate in a place called the cradle. ]

“Hahaha…! You seem to be quite confident in your skills! I don’t hate people like that…!”

And Alton’s eyes lit up as if he were looking at a fish with a bait.

“Then now is the time to save each other time.”

The moment Alton opened his greedy eyes wide and snapped his fingers.

Just-!

[Whirlwind of Wanderers]

As it was, demonic energy overflowed from under his feet, and a purple portal opened.

It’s probably a type of black magic called the magic of the demon realm.

It was fun.

‘I think I know roughly what the principle is.’

It was worth it.

Until now, there was no room for talent to be applied to things like space movement skills… but the

purple portal that Alton developed as a demon is different.

Because it was a space movement-type spell that was only made up of black magic.

[ …. ]

And that meant only one thing.

A talent that shocked even Alkaid, who had been engaged in black magic all his life…

A genius who could read the essence of technology in the blink of an eye had discovered Alton’s dark magic.

‘It’s fun.’

In a word, now I also gained the ability to move in space.

***

Space movement.

‘I didn’t expect to get this like this.’

Something that can jump over distances between spaces in the blink of an eye.

Surprisingly, among the many abilities he had acquired so far, there were not that many abilities related to space movement.

At most, it would be limited to the power ‘Shunbo’ obtained from a preliminary apostle who served the god of battle.

Even more so if it’s a space-type ability that allows you to move over a very long distance.

‘…I didn’t expect to get the ability to move through space, not through skills or powers, but through dark magic.’

Therefore, the purple portal in front of him was bound to be a valuable skill.

Perhaps after modification, it could become an ability that can be used in combat such as teleportation.

Even the fact that it was a skill called black magic that was easy to touch directly attracted attention.

And as I looked at it with interest, Alton smiled and giggled.

“It looks like you unintentionally surprised me.”

In an instant, Alton’s goat-like face was filled with a subtle sense of superiority.

“I understand. There aren’t that many black magic spells as sophisticated as this in the world. After seeing the black magic of Alkaid, a vulgar goblin, you can be surprised enough

.

“Even this is one of the secret arts passed down in our family. It’s probably the noblest black magic you’ve ever seen.”

[ …. ]

“Ah. But you can do that surprise later. Since we won’t have time for each other, I’ll show you black magic separately…”

[I don’t think so. ]

But I said with a smile at Alton’s superiority.

[Anyway, the interpretation of the spell is over now. ]

“…yes?”

[So there’s no need to show it later. ]

“…What the hell does that mean? Are you done with the interpretation of the formula? There’s no way I could interpret this so quickly—”

[ there is. ]

And.

[The principle is fixed anyway. ]

“What….”

[On the surface, it looks just like space movement, but if you look closely, it’s not space movement. ]

“….”

[ In effect, it just specifies space coordinates and contracts the current space to that point to make it appear to move through space. ]

“What is that…?”

[Vortex of the Wanderer].

The black magic developed by Alton is actually closer to space contraction than space movement.

It is to pull the concept of an abstract space with black magic for a while, and based on that, take those who have been in contact with black magic to where they want.

[It’s not a very stable way. ]

Space movement is definitely interesting…

but it also had a lot of flaws.

First of all, it is to contract the abstract concept of space, so the difficulty of using it must be enormous.

And even if it succeeds in using it, a catastrophe will occur if a mistake occurs in the process of shrinking and moving space.

Perhaps there was a possibility that the body would be exposed as it is in the process of crossing the space.

‘If that’s the case, my body could be swallowed up in the space as it is.’

At least, if that fails, the loss of a part of the body is certain.

[This is the most unstable black magic I’ve ever seen. ]

“….”

[The black magic of space movement is interesting, but it has quite a few flaws to match. ]

“What the hell are you talking about! That can’t be! This is my family’s arcane magic!!”

[ …. ]

But maybe Alton didn’t even know this properly.

‘Is this really an apostle serving that ancient deity?’

All of a sudden, Alton’s face was full of reactions that he didn’t know why.

Nervousness, anxiety, doubt, jealousy, anger, etc…

Numerous negative emotions swirled through his eyes.

He probably didn’t even know what kind of flaws the dark magic [Vortex of the Wanderer] had.

And I couldn’t help but close my eyes in deep disappointment.

‘Does that mean that he really didn’t know the principles of black magic he was dealing with?’

At most, he had only used black magic once.

Even so, I felt like I already knew all of Alton’s abilities.

At least when I realized that Alton’s level hadn’t reached the highest level like Alkaid’s, my interest in him rapidly diminished.

―Unlike an apostle of an ancient deity, you are foolish.

In fact, Dam Chun-wu looked at Alton and said that as if he was dumbfounded.

But I didn’t have to worry so much.

A guy like Alton, who doesn’t even know about his own dark magic, wouldn’t be worth remembering anyway.

And…

“If that’s the case, try following my secret technique yourself…”

The moment Alton shed light anger with a chilly glare in his eyes.

“Why don’t you prove directly that it’s not space shifting, it’s just pretending to be space shifting?”

I immediately nodded and accepted the offer.

[Yes. ]

Even if it wasn’t so, I didn’t intend to entrust myself to this trifling black magic.

The failure of the black magic [Vortex of the Wanderer] is not a very meaningful assumption, thanks to the divine armor and its transcendent durability.

Even so, there is no need to entrust space movement to Alton, a half-witted warlock who doesn’t even understand his own skills.

He even knew where the cradle was by recalculating Alton’s black magic.

‘If you know where the cradle is, it’s not a job to use black magic more reliably.’

So, all that remains is to deploy black magic.

[Can you at least show me some black magic that’s more effective than this? ]

That’s why I said that and calmly deployed black magic.

In an instant, his thoughts are concentrated, and the principles of black magic that Alton showed are quickly but more stable than before.

Perhaps, if you develop black magic as it is, it will boast excellent perfection as it is.

However, in the midst of building a tower made up of spells, his eyes focused on principles that showed room for improvement.

‘It’s good to be a space movement type, but why are there so many things I really regret?’

It was worth it.

Even though it can be sufficiently efficient, black magic pursues an inefficient principle.

One of the most irritating among them was the principle of moving by contracting invisible space.

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to fold the abstract concept of space and bring it into contact with each other?

‘I just need to be able to move to the place I want anyway.’

And…

[I think it’s better to do it this way. ]

In the blink of an eye, the development process of the spell slightly twisted and a new black magic appeared.

【 Folding Vortex 】

A technology that can transcend a space remodeled solely by genius.

***

Chijik-!

Soon, a wave of purple light came out from under my feet and enveloped the area.

The true value of the black magic [Twirl] was revealed.

As it is, space and space are twisted and connected to each other, and then the landscape itself changes.

As if by magic, the space itself has changed from a half-collapsed fort to a duel.

The result of remodeling the black magic [Wanderer’s Vortex] appeared in front of my eyes.

「Achievement ‘Space Control’ has been achieved.」

「Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increased reward] is activated automatically when the conditions are met.」

「Reward level obtained from achievement has been increased from [Grade B] to [Grade B+] It rises.」

「The skill ‘Space Control Assist (B+)’ is created.」

And.

[Did I tell you? ]

“What the heck is this…!?”

The moment he turned his head to Alton after finishing the space movement.

[If you’re going to move in space, there’s a more efficient way.]

Just like that, Alton’s beast-like eyes trembled violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
