Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 352
352. Baekhakgeomseon (3)
Seeing the system message in front of me, I shut my mouth tightly.
「The manager ‘Baekhak Geomseon(白鶴劍仙)’ invites you to the manager area.」
Baekhak Geomseon (白鶴劍仙).
One of the administrators who made an apostle contract while climbing the tower.
And it is because a kind of master who gave great lessons while learning martial arts sent an invitation.
“…”
And then I rolled my eyeballs in a rigid state.
‘…Come to think of it, it seems like it was quite a while ago that I met Baekhak Geomseon.’
It was worth it.
As a matter of fact, since he was a teacher, he offered her a flattery, but he was a teacher and he did not treat her with respect or visit her often.
And that’s even more so lately.
Suddenly, there were many events that raised his status as an ancient deity, and he forgot the idea of meeting her.
It bothered me.
‘…I almost made a mistake.’
And belatedly, I felt a little relief.
If it hadn’t been for her call, I’d either go down to Earth or use Remegeton.
It was as if the order of things to be done was not wrong because of her calling.
Anyway, it was all the more so because she had to get rid of her long-cherished ordeal before the 27th floor.
‘…The priority was to solve the white crane inspection’s secret wish.’
However, it is also true that it is embarrassing to face her right away.
There was still a lack of mental preparation (?) to see the white crane inspection.
If I had to argue, it should be the feeling that a child who made a mistake cannot see his parents properly.
I couldn’t go right away because I needed to find out not only that, but also the new effects of necromancy.
‘Let’s buy some time.’
So the hesitation disappeared.
“Could you give me a little more time?”
As it was, I refrained from changing my expression at the sight shooting from one place in this stone chamber and continued.
“If you do, I will go there soon.”
Anyway, even if Baekhak Geomseon didn’t invite me, I didn’t have any problems.
Through the Tower’s exclusive authority, ‘#B-714[Region Move]’, you can freely come and go from the manager’s area.
And is it because the Baekhak inspection also knew about it from the last visit?
Her gaze soon lifted, and a system message appeared before her eyes.
“I would like to ask that the administrator, ‘Baekhakgeomseon’, please help you…”
And that too in a somewhat low-key tone.
‘Polite word?’
Her incomprehensible honorifics are a bit foreign, but…
Even then, there’s nothing you can tell from system messages.
I shook my head and let go of the nonsensical thoughts.
Anyway, it would have bought me time.
“For now… let’s finish what we have to do.”
Just like that, I did what I had to do.
‘Because there are still things I need to check for necromancy.’
And…
“Struggle, Victory, and Death■? Permanently increase stats by using the command of the god.」
「Muscle strength increased by 97」
「Agility increased by 96」 「Stamina increased by
94」
「Magic power increased by 91」
「Durability increased by 91 I did.”
“The concept has risen by 19.”
The moment when the abilities were raised by absorbing the spirit of the ancient deity.
“As expected, this will also come up now.”
Only then could I put a smile on my lips.
‘As I thought, I was able to grow my conceptual stats with Necromancy.’
It was worth it.
『Detailed effect (12) – Atmosphere (large device). You can acquire concept abilities and consume spirits to acquire concept abilities
.
This time, I was able to confirm the growth route of one of the effects of the growth of necromancy.
Isn’t concept ability really the ability to strengthen the divinity of a concept?
That’s why I thought maybe I could only use special means to raise my stats
.
‘But didn’t the number rise that much?’
Are there any restrictions though?
However, despite the conversion of the spirit of the ancient deity into stats, the conceptual stats have only slightly increased.
But even so, the income was not small.
All of a sudden, the conceptual divinity inside the body was vibrating, albeit weakly, and each conceptual divinity took on a dark color.
It means only one thing.
‘Concept divinity definitely got stronger.’
In fact, the conceptual ability is a power that even ancient deities have no choice but to covet.
Even if it is an ancient deity, the divinity of the concept cannot be easily strengthened.
However, the conceptual abilities pursued growth beyond common sense.
That’s very certain.
‘It’s not a big change yet, but it will inevitably change later.’
As if dust is gathered and called a great mountain…
Maybe over time, if we can raise our conceptual abilities to three digits or beyond, things will change a lot.
Divinity < Death > could kill even a high-ranking deity with a single blow, and divinity < Lord of Words > could grow into a form that could suppress the divinity of concepts.
Imagining it was expected in many ways.
“Then, would you be able to raise your stats with this?”
Then, a question popped into my head and I activated the exclusive authority.
「Exclusive authority E-0001 [Secret Shop] is activated.」
「The manager-only secret shop is opened.」
It’s nothing else…
「※ The layer where Challenger Han Seong-yoon is staying is not suitable for using the shop.」 「
※ As a result, only [Category: Ability] can be used in the secret shop for administrators only.” 「
※Until a certain level is reached, the eligibility to use the secret shop for administrators is considered insufficient.」
A kind of growth expedient that only I can use . it was here
「You have entered the manager-only secret shop [category: Ability].」
▶Strength [1] : 10000P
▶Strength [1] : 10000P
▶Agility [1] : 10000P
▶Magic [1] : 10000P
▶Endurance [1] : 10000P
▶Concept [1] : 100000P (*NEW!)
“…I never thought it would exist, but I really thought it would exist.”
The ability to purchase conceptual abilities was added to the exclusive authority ‘E-0001 [Secret Shop]’.
Even that at a slightly higher price point than other stats.
Perhaps I have concept stats and I think I can buy them…
It was the best result.
‘If I can buy conceptual stats with points that I don’t particularly use, I don’t have to worry.’
And to that end, I put all the points I had earned in the previous trials into one place.
「Paid [1500000] points to the manager-only secret shop.」
「Increases concept by 15.」
“Nice.”
And I couldn’t help but smile at him.
That would be the case too…
But the rise in conceptual abilities that can only be obtained by absorbing the spirit of an ancient deity has occurred.
In fact, it was a similar effect to catching an ancient deity.
「The Tower of Trials is silent while looking at the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
Of course, the Tower of Trials, knowing that, is
behaving disapprovingly of me …
There was nothing the tower could do anyway, as long as there was the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >.
The exclusive authority ‘E-0001 [Secret Shop]’ was already in my hands.
Then, even if it was a tower of trials, it was difficult to touch it.
And I finished the job with a smile on my face.
“Is this the end of the confirmation of necromancy?”
For now, this is the end of what can be confirmed immediately in Necromancy.
You can use 「Tamcheon(貪天)」, which can obtain unique characteristics, or 「Return」(再歸), which can reduce various cooldowns, by consuming the spirit.
And since I spent most of my decree on the battlefield of the gods, I couldn’t confirm the detailed effects of necromancy anymore.
That’s why raising the conceptual ability was all that could be done.
“Then let’s go soon.”
Is it because the complicated thoughts in my head have disappeared all of a sudden?
Now it seemed okay to face Baekhakgeomseon, who should be called his teacher.
…Of course, it was a little awkward as I had neglected her for a while, but this must also be an obstacle to overcome anyway.
「Activate the exclusive authority #B-714 [Area Move].」
「Please specify the manager area to move to.」
And.
「Designation completed.」
「Move to the area of administrator ‘White Crane Swordsman (白鶴劍仙)’.」
Soon, the moment calmed down the image and moved to the area of White Crane Swordsman.
“…Oh, are you here?”
A refreshing scent of grass rustled at the tip of his nose, and a faint trembling voice came to his ears.
Only then did he see the scene in front of him more clearly.
…and the white-haired beauty half-hidden by the wooden pole.
It was the appearance of the White Crane Swordsman, which was recognizable even after a long time, but the state was strange, although I did not know where it was.
“…oh long time no see.”
It’s nothing else…
“…sir.”
“?”
“Han Seong-yoon…”
“….”
There, Baekhak Swordsman was trembling, at least slightly frightened.
***
It’s a while to have a ridiculous confrontation with each other.
“So…”
As always, I sat down and saw the White Crane Swordsman standing far away next to me.
It seems that he is sitting quietly, still unable to erase the tension.
I continued speaking with a slight headache.
“For what reason are you suddenly saying honorifics?”
and.
“That’s it…”
The next moment.
“Seongyun… You are an ancient deity… Is it poetry?”
Only then did I know where Baekhak Geomseon’s awkward honorifics came from.
“You saw what happened on the battlefield of the gods through the tower.”
“…Somehow it happened… Joe? that. I’m sorry if I offended you—”
“And at that time, he is doing this because I have reached the level of perfect ancient godhood.”
“…yes. Seo Seong-yoon is different from a fake god like me. That’s why I think you’ll be offended.”
For some reason, I felt dumbfounded at the appearance of being intimidated.
‘I couldn’t believe it, but I really thought this would happen because I became an ancient deity.’
But on the other hand, it was convincing.
In the first place, isn’t the manager itself a fake deity created by the tower?
So, from the standpoint of Baekhakgeomseon, it seemed that she thought that it would be unpleasant for her to speak to me, an ancient deity.
“…”
Not only that, but he was quite terrified as to whether he knew how to hurt him.
Still, is it because it is a relationship that has accumulated affection in its own way?
Just because he became an ancient deity, it didn’t look very nice to act like that.
So I immediately parted my lips and conveyed what I had to say.
“I don’t need to be so respectful, so please treat me comfortably.”
“…yes?”
“I’m not showing any tyranny just because I became an ancient deity anyway.”
“no… is it?”
“…”
Only then did Baekhak Geomseon glance at him and shook his head.
“…I’m sorry. I made a mistake.”
“…I’m glad you know.”
And I spoke to him with a shy smile.
“And even if they became ancient deities, aren’t they still priests?”
And in a very soft tone.
“So just take it easy.”
and.
“Master.”
Is it because of the emphasis on the title of master, which is like a kind of cheat key?
“Master Su…?”
Suddenly, Baekhak Geomseon approached with tears in his eyes as if he was moved.
“Do you still think of me as a teacher even after becoming an ancient deity?”
“That’s right.”
“Does that mean that I am the most special to Sungyoon?”
“?”
no.
I didn’t think it was that special…
I just thought of him as a master because he was able to learn martial arts.
‘…In reality, how many hours did you learn martial arts from Baekhakgeomseon?’
Even martial arts are not taught by the old rules.
If Baekhakgeomseon gave a martial arts demonstration, I just followed it.
It is true that he had a certain affection for Baekhak Geomseon to some extent, but he did not think of it as particularly special.
But those thoughts did not escape his lips.
“…is not it?”
…Because I saw her eyes twinkle before I knew it, so it was hard to deny that it wasn’t.
“…no. Come to think of it, it seems right. Master.”
Only then did Baek Hak Geomseon put a big smile on his lips.
“Whoops…! I knew it! Seongyun also thought of me as the most special! I knew it!”
Like she said, I wondered if she was afraid of me
because
she knew that would happen.
“As expected, it is true that I should leave my secret wish to Seong-yoon.”
That would be the case too…
“At that time, Seong-yoon signed a contract to make my wish come true.”
It is because her eyes suddenly had a glow that could be called a certain desire.
「The exclusive authority #G-0778[Last Desire] of administrator ‘White Crane Swordsman’ has been activated.」
That’s very intense.
