Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 462
462. Decisive Battle (4)
I had one thought as I watched the Demon God reveal a disappointed smile beneath his black half-mask.
[The Demon God looks at you and shows disappointment.]
[—Isn’t it true that you no longer have the strength left to compete with me on equal footing? ]
…got caught.
“….”
…He also clearly noticed that I was in a situation where it wouldn’t be strange if I were defeated by a demon.
‘shit.’
I have no intention of making lame excuses or self-justifications because I was unlucky.
In any case, whether it was early or late, the other side was bound to notice the truth at some point during the fight.
In fact, isn’t it a miracle in itself that they fought in front of the so-called three ancient deities, the rulers of the universe, in a way that at first glance appears to be a fight between them?
‘…In the end, no matter how much I struggle in front of the demon god, this is the end of it.’
The gamble failed.
Thanks to the generous use of the strength I gained while climbing the Tower of Trials, it seems like I have achieved some success against the Demon God for now…
Even when the sacred effect of the transcendental mythology
‘…I had to find a way to defeat the demon before coming here, but I failed.’
From the beginning, they knew that if they waited too long, this would happen, so they sought a way to resolve the current situation before the other side found out.
The only problem is that the other party realized that this was its limit before the demon’s power could be analyzed and an appropriate countermeasure could be devised.
So it was clear what would happen next.
‘I will lose without even weighing anything.’
The divinity and magical energy emanating from the demon in front of me became a signpost of death, indicating what would happen in the future.
[The demon shows you a mixture of disappointment and regret.]
[It’s a shame. For the first time, I thought I had found a worthy match with whom I could compete properly… In the end, I guess I can’t get along with you anymore. ]
Should I say that it resembles a child who received a gift and cannot hide his disappointment when he sees the contents inside the gift box?
Jump and jump -.
[If hundreds of years pass in the future, you too may become a god of darkness or a dragon like me. ]
“…well. Even if you praise me like that, I’m not particularly happy. “This is even more so when it comes to words of consolation from a winner to a loser.”
[ no. This is not something like ridicule, consolation, or courtesy given to the powerful. I was just stating the obvious. Given some time, you will definitely be able to reach this place. ]
“….”
I looked at him with an annoyed face and the demon continued speaking.
[I see…. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to postpone the fight with you until a later date, look forward to the days ahead, and wait for me to reach a position that I can be satisfied with over time. As you said earlier, planning for the future may not be such a bad thing. ]
The Demon God spoke, expressing feelings full of disappointment and emptiness.
[ …However, I don’t have much time as I am nothing more than an imitation of a ‘demon god’ who exists in the ‘fake world’ rather than the ‘real world’. ]
“So you’re saying you’re going to kill me right here.”
[ okay. Even if it is an immature fruit, if you indulge in it, you can feel its own excitement. There may be some regrets, but that’s no reason not to enjoy the fight with you until the end. ]
“Is that so.”
I expected it.
Aren’t demons by nature extremely self-centered and who decide everything based on whether they feel like it or not?
Even if you know that it is a counterfeit product that has only been reproduced in the ‘fake world’ and not the ‘real world’, nothing will change.
‘Perhaps for that demon god, demons from the real world, not the fake world, are not even worth worrying about.’
The Demon God will be satisfied with the fact that he can defeat a strong person like me before the fake world of the Gods’ War itself disappears, and he will accept death.
‘Really…’
Even the fact that this person has potential comparable to the three ancient deities is not a reason for the Demon God to show mercy, although it may be regrettable.
‘It’s annoying.’
therefore….
I hated losing like this even more.
I felt like I would feel relieved if I at least left at least one scar on the demon that couldn’t be washed away.
Chak-.
[The Demon God feels puzzled.]
[It’s fascinating. Most of the strong people I’ve seen in the past usually lose their will to fight when they get to this point… Unlike them, you still have no intention of accepting the outcome. ]
As soon as I stepped forward, squeezing out as much divinity and magical power from my body as possible, the Demon God spoke as if he had seen something interesting.
“under.”
step….
“Isn’t that obvious?”
That’s not that surprising to me.
“The game only ends when one of the two dies.”
If I had chosen to give up everything in front of the fear of death, I wouldn’t have come this far.
“None of the two have died yet, so there’s no way the game will end like this.”
and.
[The god of transcendence and death burns his spirit and laughs twistedly.]
[ ─Now is the beginning. ]
As I smiled brightly with my eyes shining, the demon god also raised the corners of his mouth like a crescent moon.
[The Demon God smiles, showing satisfaction with your tenacity.]
[That’s good. ]
Next moment.
───!
In the blink of an eye, without even having to say which of the two would go first, their power exploded like a storm at the same time and the fight resumed.
***
Gray world.
A fierce battle broke out in a world at the speed of light, where even the ancient gods could not be recognized except for the two people standing here.
Various energies such as divinity, mana, and magical energy were coming and going, and fierce attacks and defenses were being repeated.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Just by mixing their hands once, an aftereffect of tremendous power reverberates around them, and at the end of the collision, the wounds on each person’s body increase one by one.
‘Is even this at a dangerous level?…’
The unique skill ‘Spilling’ used by this side allowed them to even engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Demon God, but that didn’t solve everything.
‘I’m taking more damage than the Demon God.’
In fact, since I had activated the unique skill ‘Shedding’, the enemy’s attacks should hardly have reached me, but in reality, that did not happen.
‘I don’t know exactly what the reason is, but it is difficult to completely avoid attacks because of something that rivals the supernormal abilities of
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-!
If we had to be honest, should we say that it is a battle between a spear that pierces anything and a shield that blocks anything?
Even though I have tried mixing demons and numbers several times so far, it was difficult to get used to the supernormal ability that can disrupt even the power of the transcendent myth
And because of that, as our side slowly began to lose ground in the battle, the demon god also did not miss the opportunity and took advantage of the gap.
Kkwajiik…!!
In an instant, the demon god forcibly broke the unique skill ‘Spilling’ and unleashed a kick full of incredible power.
───!
When I saw that, I was astonished and without even having time to think, I instinctively focused my attention on my side and surrounded it with all my protective abilities.
[The effect ‘Blood Spirit Protection’ exclusive to Vampire Lord’s Robes (SS+) is strongly activated.]
[Creates a top-class shield with blood inside the body to defend against external attacks.]
[….]
and.
[Skill ‘Shield of Counterattack’ is strongly activated.]
Before I knew it, I was able to feel the overwhelming physical force being exerted upon me as I succeeded in encircling my side with divinity and mana in addition to all the protective abilities it possessed.
Twaaaaaaaaaa!
Just by being hit once by the Demon God’s kick, the protective shields burst open like glass hit by a hammer and are pushed to the side without hesitation.
━Oh my.
However, despite this, I was not thrown to the ground or mortally injured when I was hit by the demon like before.
━In that short period of time, you concentrated all the divinity, mana, and power of all kinds of objects and supernatural abilities on the hitting area, resulting in minimal damage?
The demon gave me a compliment with a grin, and then took a stance that made it look as if it was going to rush at me.
━A truly daring fluke.
step….
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
Instead of saying anything to the demon god, I opened my eyes wide and converted the magical energy in my entire body into blood.
[….]
[Skill ‘Punishment’ is activated.]
[All stats increase by +7 during the active time of the skill.]
[Magic power is never consumed during the active time of the skill.]
[The power of the dragon dwells in you, and your magic power increases by 100%.]
Currently, I have enough magic power to cover a planet, and I can use it infinitely.
‘Whether it is divinity or magical power, it is possible to recharge it as much as it is consumed.’
It is as if there is no consumption of power.
Just as it is possible for ordinary high-ranking deities or formal deities to purify mana into its purest form and transform it into divine power…
That was no different for me, so I could see the infinity of magical power as the infinity of divinity.
As divine power is consumed, the consumption of power itself can be minimized by converting the enormous amount of magical power into divine power and replenishing it.
It is possible to unleash power close to the maximum output without stopping, and it is possible to repeat this as many times as long as the fight does not end there.
In short, it was difficult to find an opponent in a pure firepower fight and a sustained fight.
[The deity-only power ‘List’ is strongly activated.]
[You can designate up to 100 of all beings within 1000m.]
[The beings listed on the Reaper’s list get closer to death every minute and become greatly weakened.]
[Anyone who continues the battle for more than 44 minutes while listed in the list of reapers will be eroded by sacred
‘Not much time has passed, but I feel like the difficulty of eroding the sacred
Since the Godhead-exclusive power ‘List’ has also been secretly activated from the start, if you push it into a purely firepower fight, even if you don’t win, wouldn’t it be possible to leave at least one scar?
‘If I can hit the sacred
In response, I converted the vast amount of magical power in my body into blood in an instant and immediately cast a wide-range attack with maximum output.
[….]
[Skill ‘Fresh Blood Seeker’ is strongly activated.]
[The power skill ‘Unquenchable Mortal Flame’ is strongly activated.]
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A tsunami of blood that could easily cover a mountain range was mixed with flames that burned everything, almost slashing the entire earth.
[The sacred
[He can control the death of everything that has been eroded by sacred
[Divine
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s next attack is imbued with the power to consume divinity…]
[Divine
[It becomes parasitic on objects that come into contact with divinity, absorbs their life force, takes control, and manipulates them…]
───!
Then, the moment when the sacred
Oh my gosh!
The demon god casually destroyed them all in one blow with a fist filled with sacred and demonic energy.
━It certainly does not have the energy of a pure human species, but could it be a vampire who inherited the blood of the true ancestor?
In a world tinged with gray, the demon god raises the corners of his mouth and speaks.
━For sure. The status of divinity and soul itself seems to be at an upper limit… but isn’t there still some meat left to chew?
however.
━Let’s continue the fight…
That too was only for a moment.
Knock-.
━?
In fact, the problem was that he broke the wide-range special move that was a mixture of the sacred
━What is this?
In an instant, the demon’s right arm was stained with dark red divine power, creating a strange atmosphere.
Patter-.
A situation where the supernormal abilities of divine
━What do you want?
That means only one thing.
━Death sentence.
It was a reversal of fortunes.
[The power skill ‘Holy Light’ is activated, creating starlight imbued with sacred
Kiiiiiiiing…!!
[….]
[Skill ‘Symbol of Destruction’ is strongly activated.]
[All types of abilities gain destruction correction by consuming a certain amount of magic power.]
[Holy
[All abilities of challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly accelerated and become faster.]
[….]
[Skill ‘Starlight Expansion’ is strongly activated.]
[All types of starlight are greatly expanded, resulting in up to 4x performance improvement.]
The two swords he held in both hands were filled with dozens of powers, in addition to the divine starlight and unquenchable mortal flame.
[The deity exclusive power ‘Pure Death Seeker’ is activated.]
[All beings that come into contact with the sacred
[All beings touched by the sacred
[All beings who touch the sacred
and….
[The exclusive effect ‘Double’ of the power skill ‘Honwon Demon Sword’ is activated.]
[Consume divine power to increase the power skill power by [11] times.]
It once again ramped up its maximum output like crazy thanks to the Soul Demon Sword.
━!
At this point, the demon god must have realized that something was not unusual, and he expressed surprise and immediately prepared to counterattack.
‘There’s no need to leave that alone.’
When I saw that, I activated a power that would not give the other person a chance to counterattack in any way.
[The power ‘Sunbo’ is activated.]
[The power is on cooldown for 10 minutes.]
[Consumes divine power to immediately move to a desired point within sight.]
Teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, I was standing in front of the Demon God and quickly swung the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Breaking Heavenly Sword.
I was filled with confidence as I watched the deadly power of the Honwon Demon Sword pouring down on the opponent with its deadly power like a vortex.
‘I did it…’
Even if he were a demon god who was called the three ancient gods and ruled as the lord of the universe, there was no way he could easily block this deadly attack.
───.
But…
Puhwaak-!
A strange thing happened.
***
Why?
‘ah?’
Before I knew it, I was escaping from the gray world of super-light speed, and at the same time, I felt a burning sensation near my heart.
‘My heart was pierced…’
As this person lowered his head, I was able to witness his thick forearm radiating divine and magical energy while penetrating near his heart.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssttt
“Ugh…!!”
dump-.
In response, I had to let go of the two swords I held in both hands while falling to my knees with blood pouring out of my mouth.
‘Are you saying I was attacked by a demon?’
how?
Pure doubt.
The answer to that was one of the system messages in sight.
[Divine
[With the divinity
[By the sacred
Divine supernormal ability.
It also symbolizes the ancient godhead itself, the demon god, and the concept of divinity, which is the basis of the godhead, was activated.
Just as
It was a power that existed purely for the sake of being a demon god, a being that could truly be the master of all demons.
Patter-.
“….”
Then, I saw that there was a hole near my heart, then raised my head and looked at the demon standing in front of me.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co!
It was huge.
Even if the God of Darkness or the Dragon God came, it would be very difficult to defeat the Demon God in the state of using the Holy
The limitations on physical strengthening and destruction abilities are lifted by the divinity
‘Is this the power of the Demon God?…’
In response, I tried to move my body and do something, but was stopped by the other person.
Kuuuk-.
[The demon puts pressure on your shoulder and smiles excitedly.]
[ …finished. The winner is me and the loser is you. That fact will never change. ]
Before he could even get up, the demon god pressed down on both of his shoulders and made him breathe hard.
[I have been fighting against the strong for countless years, but only you were able to become equal to me. ]
The Demon God continued his words with a faint smile beneath his black half-mask.
[Unlike the strong people I have been fighting with since I was first born a long time ago, I was able to enjoy the fight with you to the point where I felt like I was really risking my life. ]
His right arm was still stained with divine
[If you had been born in the same time as us, everything might have been the opposite of what it is now. ]
The game is over.
[Goodbye. ]
Reality is cold.
[Granting of family register. ]
I had to accept the fact as I watched the demon god remove his hands from both shoulders and condense his sacred and demonic energy to crush his head with his left hand.
‘ah….’
It means that death is approaching.
‘Now I can’t lift a finger.’
It was a waste.
In fact, from the moment the demon god used the sacred
Perhaps, if we had been able to activate one of our last cards, we might have been able to turn the tide of the war.
step….
‘It ends here.’
That was it.
At this point, there was no longer any room left to lift a finger no matter what the demon god did.
From now on, there was no hope as I had to just wait for the demon god to calmly crush my head.
Kwaziik-!
plosive.
And as a result, I felt that my consciousness was fading and that divinity and magic were trying to escape from my body.
The ‘death’ imposed by the Tower of Trials as a trial failure penalty will retrieve even my sacred
….
Somehow I felt like I could hear Dam Cheon-woo’s voice residing in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, but it was obvious that he would also disappear along with me.
Sussss….
The journey is over.
[He died.]
Coldly.
***
Consciousness slowly sinks into the abyss.
But still, I felt cozy.
Even though I knew that I was killed by a demon, it didn’t end as if there was something left.
‘What happened?’
It was bizarre.
‘Why on earth don’t I die?’
Before I knew it, I felt the energy of divinity and spirit more strongly than ever before, and I felt something like a bright light rising from the abyss.
Gooooo-!
It’s not even just that.
[….]
[Conditions satisfied.]
[The user refuses death.]
Suddenly a system message appeared.
‘No way is this….’
At this point, it’s impossible not to know.
━Detailed effect (10) – Challenger Han Seong-yoon can refuse death once a year.
‘Necromancy?’
Last Day.
As you climb the Tower of Trials, the level of necromancy increases and the detailed effects also increase.
I had not used the tenth detailed effect of Necromancy for a long time, so I had half forgotten about it, but there was a final means of survival.
[One of the detailed effects of the unique characteristic ‘Necromancy’ creates a cooldown of 1 year.]
…It was an unexpected revival.
***
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.
“….”
Clear.
Unlike the enemy who was on the verge of being killed by a demon using the sacred
Before I knew it, I was able to see a man standing on a landmark that had been destroyed in the aftermath of a fight that took place in a world faster than light.
[The Demon God looks at you and feels absurd.]
[Resurrected…? ]
It was a demon.
[This is ridiculous….]
The demon god must have never thought that this person would come back to life right away, and he continued his words without being able to hide his absurdity.
[For some reason, just a few minutes after his death, the energy of his divinity and soul seemed to shine so brightly that it was strange. As expected, my ominous premonition is not wrong…]
The Demon God pursed his lips with a smile hidden beneath his black half-mask.
[ As the god of transcendence and death, his survival skills are definitely at an insane level, aren’t they? ]
Instead of responding to him, I moved my arms and legs around to check if there was anything missing.
[That’s amazing. ]
It was great.
There were no traces of any relics or items they had being destroyed or collected by the Tower of Trials.
Moreover, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and Break Heaven Sword that I had released from both hands earlier were also in their original places, so I grabbed them without hesitation even for a moment.
Buzz buzz-!
Well, Dam Cheon-woo in the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword was also expressing feelings of astonishment no different from that of a demon god, but there was no time to talk about trivial things.
Turp, plod, trudge -.
[The Demon God smiles at you with narrowed eyes.]
[God of transcendence and death. Even though your obsession with life is amazing… you and I both know that the game is already over. Nothing really changes. ]
Before I knew it, the demon god had approached where I was standing and was spewing out divine and demonic energy like crazy.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!!
however….
“no. Nothing is over. “That’s just a misunderstanding on their part.”
In response, I enjoyed a feeling that was close to refreshing, and my eyes sparkled with fiery emotions.
“Have you forgotten?”
[ ? ]
“I should have told you clearly earlier.”
[….]
A lot has changed since before.
[The god of transcendence and death looks at the demon and smiles.]
[ ─The battle ends only when one of the two dies. ]
Isn’t this a situation where we have gained some sense of the limits and source of the demon’s power?
“Back then and even now, if neither I nor the Demon God died, can we say the match is over?”
[ no. finished. The answer to the power struggle between you and me has already been decided. You won’t be able to defeat me. ]
“I think that’s something they can only say after they actually kill me.”
[ …Tsk! That’s something I don’t understand. It makes me wonder where on earth that unfounded confidence comes from. ]
“It’s not about groundless confidence.”
It was clear that the future would unfold differently than before.
“I was just stating the obvious.”
Just like that, I smiled crookedly while picking up one of the relics beyond my inventory.
[Unwavering Faith]
[Grade: EX]
[A mirror of one who proves, completed by combining the unwavering faith and divinity of a godhead.]
[The exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’ can be activated.]
[When activating the exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’, you can select an opponent and use it to steal one concept divinity for 10 minutes.]
[However, the exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’ cannot be activated if the divinity and soul level of the opponent and the user are not equal.]
[After activating the exclusive effect of a relic, a one-year cooldown occurs.]
“…I have no intention of persuading them or making them understand.”
and.
“—Well, it won’t be long before it’s decided which of the demons and I will die.”
The moment he used the holy relic ‘Unwavering Faith (EX)’ while smiling at what would happen in the future.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…!!
[….]
[Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’ is activated when the conditions for use are met.]
[Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’ selects the opponent and robs them of one concept divinity for 10 minutes.]
[Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’ robs the opponent of the divinity
[Unwavering Faith (EX) exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’ has a cooldown of 1 year.]
In an instant, the relic ‘Unwavering Faith (EX)’ radiated brilliant divine power and at the same time, a strange event occurred.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
In the blink of an eye, a jet-black divinity near the demon god’s heart flowed towards me in the form of a dark cloud, and new power boiled over.
[Divine
[Due to the divinity
[The user’s divinity and magical energy are forcibly extracted and replenished by the divinity
And very roughly.

[Thanks to the divine

drank.
One of the cosmic suzerains called the Three Ancient Godheads.
The concept of divinity, which is the source of his creation of the highest level of divinity as an ancient deity, was engraved in me even though it was only for a short period of time.
‘Are you saying this is a demon god?’
That means only one thing.
[The Demon God of Transcendence and Death laughs in delight, enjoying his new power.]
[ ─It’s fun. ]
…It means that I have also become another demon that exists in this universe.
