The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 131
Episode 131
▶ The Elder Lich’s Spirit Stone was used.
When Namgung broke the bead, the black airflow condensed within it began to be absorbed into his body.
▶ The spiritual energy of the spirit stone awakens the effect of blood vessel magic – strength, and physical ability improves.
▶ Strong abilities: Strength and stamina increase.
As he absorbed the air current, Namgung could feel changes in his body.
▶ The number of commands that can be controlled increases.
▶ Due to the effect of Necromancy (intermediate or upper level), the number of ruling spirits increases slightly.
▶ Title: Heroic Lord has been confirmed.
▶ The ability of soul ministry is greatly increased.
▶ Soul Ministry Lv2 → Lv4
▶ Number of spirits available for ministry 4 → 10
Sigh…!!!
When the spirit stone completely disappeared, Namgung felt refreshed even though the fierce battle was over.
‘There’s still a long way to go…’
Not only was the physical recovery due to the blood vessel technique simple, but it was also satisfying to see a significant increase in the number of spirits that could be ministered to.
“It’s okay.”
He raised his head.
▶ Soul Detection Lv3 is activated.
As his eyes glowed, the souls of the countless corpses inside the cargo ship came into his sight.
Although they were controlled by Kiman Yan, their souls did not seem to have disappeared.
▶ Friendly spirits around you sympathize with you.
▶ The spirits around you want to be with you.
▶ Soul Ministry Lv4 is available.
“I sympathize with the unfair death, but… I can’t take you with me.”
There was a limit to the number of soul soldiers that could be ministered to, so it was necessary to select them carefully.
▶ Soul Eye Lv3 is activated.
He walked to the end of the cargo ship
.
Among the heroic spirits that could be seen with the eyes of the soul, there was one that had a particularly red color.
“Kiman Jan.”
Choi Hwi-soo had already become a lich and his soul had disappeared, but he was a living human until a little while ago, and his soul still remained.
“You have two options. “Will you be completely destroyed by me here, or will you follow me and end the entire carnival and be purified?”
His words shook my soul as if I was thinking about it.
Shamans were people who studied life and death for a long time.
Among them, Kiman Yan, who only dealt with corpses, had a particularly strong obsession with souls.
‘Because Kiman Yan believed in reincarnation. It is believed that if the soul exists, it can be reborn several times.’
Therefore, the extinction of the soul was the most fearful thing for him.
Wow…!!
At that moment, Kiman Yan’s soul appeared in front of him and slowly fell to his knees.
▶ The souls around you resent your decision.
▶ They hope that Kiman Yan’s soul will perish.
As soon as Kiman Yan stood in front of him, many souls on the cargo ship began to commotion and let out complaints.
“stop.”
But Namgung silenced them with just one word.
“Even if you attack him in droves, it won’t work against him. “You have to admit what you have to admit.”
▶ The souls around me are sad.
“I’m sorry, but what helps me is Kiman Yan’s ability, not your injustice.”
However, despite his words, the surrounding spirits began to burn fiercely as if reprimanded.
“I would do anything to end this damn carnival. At least that would be a way to save your family and colleagues who are still alive from death.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire that had been felt until a moment ago disappeared to a surprising extent.
“….”
Namgung looked at them and sighed softly.
▶ Soul ministry has been completed.
Hua Ah … !!
At that moment, Kiman Yan’s soul slowly grew larger and began to form a single shape.
A different form from the previous soul soldiers.
Although the mask was the same, the soul soldier made from Kiman Yan’s soul was wearing a robe and holding a staff.
▶ The souls who ministered have deep morale.
▶ The spirit of morale protects the souls of soldiers.
▶ Soul soldiers are strengthened.
Hua Ah … !!
The spirit shaman born from Kiman Yan’s soul raised his staff upward.
Then, the purple spheres that flowed from the staff flowed into the soul soldiers.
▶ The reinforcement of the soul soldiers has been completed.
Namgung looked at them.
However, their appearance did not change like when they ministered to Asterion.
When I looked at it with the naked eye, I couldn’t tell what had changed.
Sreung-!!!
At that moment, the three spirit soldiers drew their swords.
Grumbling…!!
Unlike before, the blades of the swords they were holding were covered in dark red flames, as if burning.
‘Even if it is not the hero’s spirit body, will it be strengthened if I obtain a soul soldier with new characteristics that I was unable to work with?’
Namgung nodded as if satisfied with the new knowledge he had learned.
“Go in.”
As soon as his order was given, the rest of the soldiers, including the shaman, all disappeared.
“If you want to lend me your strength, I won’t refuse. If anyone wants it, absorb it. “It may sound selfish, but it’s the best thing for me.”
▶ Soul absorption Lv5 was used.
As he stretched out his hand, a gust of wind rose around the souls inside the cargo ship.
There were flames that extinguished themselves in the whirlpool, while some souls began to be sucked into Nangung’s palm.
▶ Absorbs heroic spirits.
▶ Human Characteristics: All overall abilities increase slightly.
▶ It can no longer be absorbed.
▶ The limit is unlocked through the effect of Necromancy (intermediate level).
▶ Soul Absorption Lv5 → Lv6
▶ New effects are unlocked by meeting the level conditions.
▶ Soul Strengthening Lv1
There were souls who refused to be absorbed by him, but the number of corpses in the cargo ship was still enormous.
After absorbing souls up to the upper limit of the level, a new notification sounded to Namgung.
《Soul Enhancement Lv1》
Temporarily strengthens the abilities of all soul soldiers within the soul zone.
Duration: 5 minutes.
▶ The effect increases when there is a related title.
▶ Title: Heroic Lord has been confirmed.
▶ The ability to strengthen the soul is greatly increased.
▶ Soul Enhancement Lv1 → Lv3
▶ Due to the level increase, the duration of Soul Enhancement is changed to 10 minutes.
Namgung was satisfied with his newly acquired abilities.
This is because the gap between the monsters and the spirit soldiers was gradually felt starting from Mt. Seolgui.
‘I can’t evolve it yet… but I can fight with this enough for the time being.’
In addition to strengthening the shaman’s weapon, it also strengthens the soul.
We were able to grow our soul soldiers beyond what we expected.
‘I’ll be able to meet him someday.’
But every time he felt the lack of soul soldiers, he couldn’t help but think of one person.
He was still waiting for the true user of [Lord Leoric’s Helmet], which was with him in his previous life until the end and was obtained from the Three Poison Gates in this life.
In his previous life, he was not the Reveler of the Seven Serpents, so even though he was able to use necromancy, he could not summon as many spirit soldiers as he can now.
There was only one soldier he could use.
But without that one person, he would never have been able to return.
‘It’s almost time…’
Namgung forgot the flashbacks of the past he had been thinking about for a moment and slowly looked ahead.
“What are the coordinates?”
In response to his question, Joo-in raised his thumb and gave a hand signal.
“I checked everything.”
Even as the cargo ship was gradually sinking, he skillfully used drones to locate the lifeboat and floated it on the sea.
Tak tatak…!
Then he quickly checked the information entered in the cockpit.
From programmed coordinates to communication details.
Namgung said as he got into the lifeboat after seeing Joo Soo-in finish the job perfectly without having to say anything.
“Come to Korea.”
“I’m not going.”
“If you need anything, let me know. “I will prepare it.”
“…You’re not going?”
Although he spoke bluntly, he started the engine only after confirming that Namgung was grabbing the lifeboat’s rope.
“There are still useful people hiding in Korea. I need to find them, but I’m shorthanded. “I think it would be much easier if you helped me.”
“it’s okay. Do it yourself. This is the only time I’m involved. “I happened to get involved like this, but I’m not going to Korea.”
Rumbling…!!!
The lifeboat began to move.
The sound of a roaring engine cut off Namgung’s words, as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.
“The coordinates of the cargo ship were Vietnam.”
“vietnam? Why is it set there?”
As Joo-in spoke while holding the helm of the lifeboat, Namgung tilted his head at the unexpected destination.
“Didn’t you say that the IRS is based in Cyprus? “It’s the complete opposite of the Mediterranean?”
“well. I don’t know what they’re thinking. However, if you look at the destination of the cargo ship, it is highly likely that they were planning to advance to the center.”
“If it’s Central… I’m saying that not only the Golden Bough but also the ISR guys are targeting Asia.”
Namgung sneered at his words.
“Normal people, not even Revelators, knew that I existed and thought about invading? Well, I don’t think I would do something like that unless I went crazy.”
“why? They say this pantheon is a chance for humans to become gods. If possible, they may be trying to defeat the strongest Revelator.”
slam-!!
Ju-in-law said as he steered the boat, managing to overcome the rough waves.
“I heard that the holy relic was also given a grand name, ‘The Book of Allah.’”
“No matter what, it doesn’t make sense.”
But Namgung shook his head at his words.
“I’m not the type of person who will compete with such absurd ideas. According to reports, it was Daesh Adnani who revived the ISR. You know. “What a thoughtful person he is.”
The chieftain quietly nodded his head instead of speaking at his words.
“This guy, who is so resourceful that he can be considered a genius, is just trying to catch me like this? Absolutely not. “There must be someone else who believes in it.”
“No way…”
“Yes. Those who aren’t Revelators aren’t attacking me. Those who are the revealers are the ones who have planned this. “There is definitely a dark side.”
Namgung said to him.
“Honestly, it makes no sense for Kiman Yan to control the Elder Lich. “Unless there is a tool to improve one’s abilities…”
That was then.
“Tools…”
A thought crossed Namgung’s mind.
“Kiman Yan is a shaman who handles corpses, but it is impossible to handle this many corpses. But the fact that these many corpses are being transported unreasonably….”
‘It means that there is a place somewhere that needs corpses.’
There is only one power that uses humans along with necromancy.
It
was alchemy.
“Jin Wei.”
He looked at Ju Ju-in.
“Find out if any unauthorized factories have been built in Vietnam since Carnival was created. If you have to use a body of that size, it won’t be small at all. “If there is no factory, please find an empty lot large enough to build such a thing.”
“Are you sure the Triads planned this? By bringing in ISR? “Your liver is swollen.”
“I don’t know. “Maybe he’s not the only one involved.”
Namgung slowly took a deep breath.
The fishy smell of waves hit his nose.
It felt like a bloody smell that was about to spread.
