Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 306

306. Melee (2)

I narrowed my eyes as I saw the space that had changed in the blink of an eye.

‘Is this the cradle?’

cartel.

Because a place that could only be said like that really spread out before my eyes.

I think the 1:1 duel meeting of demon lords that Alton was talking about is probably here…

‘It’s interesting.’

I didn’t know that the arena was set up in earnest like this.

It wasn’t even a regular arena, there were seats that looked like spectator seats all over the place.

And from those sitting in the wide audience, I could vaguely feel and notice divine, demonic, and magical powers.

[The monarchs. ]

Roughly speaking, should I say that I have just risen to the ranks of an official godhead?

…It’s hard to say for sure, since he doesn’t possess divinity alone, and he hasn’t reached that level with divinity alone.

It seemed certain that he had at least that much power.

And as I was watching the 8 monarchs seated in the audience at the arena, my eyes were twinkling when I suddenly heard a voice next to me.

“What is this…”

It’s nothing else…

“You can really imitate arcane magic…?”

It was Alton.

“It could… it couldn’t… it couldn’t…!”

He still couldn’t understand the newly remodeled black magic [Tending Vortex].

The way the goat’s face was distorted as if he couldn’t admit it.

The expression he had managed so far collapsed like a sandcastle in front of the waves, and he spat out a mixture of anger and astonishment in an instant.

“My black magic, Lord 64…! It was also independently developed by my family!! But a foreigner can use it!?”

Kwaaaak-.

“Even in the form of overhauling the principles of the arcane formula itself?”

Alton’s hand was squeezed tightly, and an infinitely thick negative emotion flowed out.

“Something…something must be very wrong…!”

But it’s not a very interesting story.

[It’s not a big deal anyway, so is there anything to be so excited about? ]

It deserved it.

After all, I have already confirmed that I have an unusual talent for black magic anyway.

Didn’t he learn some of the essence of black magic from his previous battle with Alkaid, and even create a new black magic based on it?

So it’s not surprising that some of the black magic is modified.

‘Even that’s not all.’

And more than anything else, Alton couldn’t understand why he was astonished by the alteration of black magic.

Do you have the right to evaluate the newly renovated black magic on a subject that you don’t even know the principle of the black magic that you handle yourself?

Perhaps Alton still doesn’t know what the flaw of the black magic [Wanderer’s Vortex] is.

Still, even though he was a goblin, he was different from Alkaid, who was able to use it as a foundation for growth due to his knowledge of black magic in his own way.

Alton was nothing better than Alkaid.

‘In the first place, Alton seems to be a person specialized in divinity rather than black magic.’

If it wasn’t for the apostles who served the ancient deity, he probably wouldn’t have been able to sit in the position of 64 monarchs.

Since it is a body that serves the god of despair, fall, and madness, it must have been able to sit in that seat based on the power of the ancient deity.

But doesn’t Alton think so?

All of a sudden, Alton’s beast-like eyes flashed with intense emotions.

“There’s no way I can do that…!!”

And that wasn’t all.

Alton’s emotions led to a kind of influence, and divine power flowed from him.

A horrific form of divinity that reminds us of a world that is about to end.

As an apostle serving the god of despair, fall, and madness, he possessed a truly irritating divinity.

“FALSE! It’s fake! All of the black magic you showed me is just fake—!”

But that was only for a moment.

Deed…!!

「The god of remorse feels annoyed at the rude attitude of trivial trifles.」

[—Please stop there. 64 monarchs. I don’t know what it is, but it’s rude. ]

Suddenly, the old man who sat in the seat of honor among the audience at the arena said so, revealing his dignity.

‘This.’

And I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide when I felt it from over there.

‘Sacred…’

It was just like that.

‘It’s not even like an apostle, it’s a state where you pioneered divinity yourself.’

The tall old man who currently sits in the high seat of the arena is a true official deity, not a metaphor or anything.

At most, unlike the apostles who depended on the outside like Alton, who received divinity by an ancient deity, he was inherently elevated.

Shall we say that the level of the soul is purely higher than any enemy I have ever seen in the demon realm?

Actually

… ]

God of regret.

When the tall old man, recorded in the system message, said that, Alton quickly hid his emotions with a pale face.

It’s like a child who’s been caught by an adult.

And Alton, as if his anger up until now had been a lie, quickly got back to his manners and bowed down to the god of remorse. “I’m sorry… My family’s arcane arts were insulted, so

my eyes went blank for a moment…”

]

“….”

[What a fool. ]

The god of remorse smiled with his chin crooked.

[But that doesn’t mean you can’t just be annoyed for a few minutes. ]

And then he made eye contact with me and said with interest.

[Welcome. 62 monarchs. no. You… Whoa. Is it someone who has reached a high level of divinity? ]

Still, since they are high-ranking deities, can they easily know each other’s capabilities?

[< Transcendence >, < Death >, and many possibilities are inherent… ]

The god of remorse smiled brightly as his eyes, which had calmed down quietly until now, twinkled.

[Awesome. < Transcendence > and < Death > coexist? The fact that your name has not been established as one is probably a sign of your potential. ]

Even I didn’t know, he spat out without hesitation.

[It’s a vessel that looks forward to how far it can reach…]

And.

[Perhaps < Transcendence > and < Death > can be mixed together to move to a new level. ]

[ …. ]

[ Excellent. At most, it would be possible to shed the shell of a higher godhead with only thousands of years of training. ]

[Is that so…. ]

[That’s why I’m curious. ]

The moment when he stopped admiring the god of remorse and changed his expression as if he was interested.

[Why did the Tower send a monster like you here? ]

I couldn’t help but be astonished with my face hardened.

***

Top.

‘You don’t know that you came here because of the trial of the tower…?’

As soon as I heard that one letter that the god of remorse suddenly spat out, I raised my guard.

What it refers to is probably the Tower of Trials.

Even more so if the person who said it was not someone else, but someone who was in the position of a higher deity.

The god of remorse continued as if he was amused and curious at the same time.

[How can I use a bowl of the ocean like you in a place like this? ]

[ …. ]

[ Are you trying to interfere with the underworld? …But for something like that, it’s a wonder the Tower didn’t use a proficient hound. ]

[ I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about. ]

And then, as if I didn’t know anything, I let go of my pretense.

Can not help it.

If I let them know that I am a challenger from the tower, then I will be the one to be eliminated from the Demon Realm really quickly.

After all, there is no way to know that I came from the Tower.

‘All I have to do is pretend it’s not like this.’

In fact, the strongmen sitting all over the arena tilted their heads and expressed their doubts.

“A tower…?”

“I’m not talking about something like a citadel. What the hell are you talking about?”

“Are you talking about the place you belong to? No, but it’s a bit ambiguous to say so…”

He acted as if he didn’t even know what a tower was.

And looking at it, I was able to notice that many monarchs did not know much about the tower.

But even so, there were exceptions, and Alton’s eyes were greatly distorted, and a sound close to hatred resonated.

“You said you came from the tower…? then…! Are you saying that I am a blasphemous sinner who blasphemes my great god!!”

Still, it seemed that he had quite a bit of information about him being an apostle of an ancient deity.

[ …. ]

It’s absurd to think that he doesn’t even know anything about his own black magic.

However, the fact that Alton reacted so violently must mean that the God of Remorse, who has reached the level of a higher deity, knows more.

So now it might be useless to claim that he didn’t actually come from the Tower.

In fact, that worry soon became a reality.

[It would be useless to deny that. ]

[ …. ]

[ And you don’t have to deny it like that. ]

[What is that…]

But the god of remorse didn’t react as violently as I thought.

[In the Pandemonium, I don’t care too much about the top or the challenger anyway. ]

The god of remorse said with a strange laugh.

‘Doesn’t the Pandemonium pay much attention to whether it’s a tower or a challenger?’

What the hell is this all about?

So far, even a small guess that he came from outside has become a target for many people.

The high-ranking deity in front of me said it was a good thing, so I couldn’t help but be confused.

[Ah, I heard your story. … You said you killed that friend of Alkaid before and became the 62nd monarch, right? Too bad. That goblin friend’s dark magic was something I could admit to. ]

[ …. ]

[ Still, if you encounter a monster like you as an enemy, it would make sense for that goblin friend to die helplessly. ]

[ …doesn’t you have any grudge against me? ]

Then, I narrowed my eyes and asked a question.

Why does God of Remorse talk like it’s not something to be concerned about?

How come he doesn’t hate me even though he knows that the god of remorse, a high-ranking monarch in the Pandemonium, came from the tower?

[That is, of course, there is no choice but to. ]

The god of remorse heard that and said with a snort.

[Because strength is everything that decides something here anyway. ]

[ …. ]

[ The basic principle of the demon world is to run by the theory of the strong. And I just have no intention of denying that strongman theory like the rest of them. ]

[Then… ]

[Yes. Unlike other bastards who reject outsiders, I accept you. … That’s why I made this ‘cradle’. ]

The god of remorse said while trimming his long beard.

[These days, things are power struggles or strategic activities in the battle of the monarchs, so they do annoying things, but isn’t that the essence of the demon realm? ]

And.

[Originally, being a ruler of the demon realm is determined solely by power…]

Soon, the moment when the eyes of the god of remorse flashed with strange aspiration.

[Therefore, I only gather like-minded monarchs and fight each other 1:1 fairly to show the extremes as living creatures. ]

A smile spread across his lips before he knew it.

[ And yet, this is a kind of rule that will apply to you as well. I have no intention of treating you unreasonably just because you came from the Tower. ]

His expression appeared as if he had found a fun partner to play with after a long time.

[Therefore, as a participant in the cradle, I propose to you. ]

[ Suggestion…? ]

[ You must have definitely reached the position of a higher deity. So, tolerable people won’t even be enemies. ]

[ …. ]

[ So I want to change the rules of Yoram’s 1:1 duel and apply it. ]

The god of remorse said with a bright twisted smile that did not match the old man’s face.

[How about a melee with Alton there and the other lords here? ]

Even…

[I think that would be a bit more balanced. ]

Before I knew it, the face of the god of remorse was filled with joy and anticipation.

[How is it? ]

And, interpreting his words, I could say this.

[Would you like to?]

‘This.’

It is a kind of experience point acquisition event

that can quickly raise the experience of the second ascension .

It’s also a rare opportunity.
