Boundless Necromancer Chapter 148

148. Choice (4)

To be honest, there was no need to explode the star light so grandly.

Even if he had just opened a small breather in the sphere like he had practiced so far, it would have been powerful enough.

But I didn’t.

because i was curious

How powerful it will be if you unleash the starlight with all your might.

Coincidentally, for several days, he gathered the spirits of the monsters and prepared to use the necromancy shield.

That’s why I thought I wouldn’t get hurt even if I released the orb of holy light.

…But the problem was that the technology was stronger than expected.

「The spirit has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user.」

「The spirit of the monster ‘Ludern’ has been extinguished.」 「

The spirit of the monster ‘Maia ‘ has been extinguished…’

Extinct…”

The spirits of numerous monsters escaped in an instant, and black smoke rose from the body like a haze.

A sizzling and melting sound could be heard from the surroundings, as if the divine starlight was showing off its traces.

Looking at it, I swallowed my saliva.

‘…If I didn’t steadily collect the spirits of the monsters, I would have been a bit dangerous.’

Star Light was a more powerful skill than anyone could have imagined.

It seemed like he knew how crazy it was to release a holy light that had been strengthened to the limit.

Perhaps the reason why the demon king told me to stop as if crying was because he expected this to happen.

Of course, I was sure that I would be fine, and indeed I was, but I couldn’t help feeling the chills running down my spine.

“Kkekekekekekekekekekekekekeheo… Damn you…” A

distorted voice came from the center of the half-collapsed Black Fortress.

When I turned my head and looked at the owner of the voice, the burnt demon king was glaring at me with a grip on his heart.

“What the hell are you thinking doing this?! Didn’t you tell me! I made a contract with your colleagues! If only you die, the world will be saved!”

To those words, I replied calmly.

“Isn’t that the same as killing the Demon King?”

In the first place, the purpose of the hero is to kill the demon king.

Killing him and preventing the demon from manifesting was one of the purposes of this 16th floor ordeal.

Of course, the purpose was only fake, and in reality, he had to take into account the betrayal of his colleagues…

but from the outside, killing the demon king was the true answer.

“Do you know there is no such thing as insurance! If I die here, the demon will descend! Do you think there will be no more demonic apostles in this world!”

But even that was denied by the Demon King.

I tried using the Fire Dragon’s Eye because I wondered if I was telling a lie.

「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ detects that there is no lie in the opponent’s words.」

The result was that there was no lie at all.

…If you really kill the demon lord, the demon will descend into this world.

‘The background of the ordeal is so bleak.’

Then, it is meaningless that the hero came to catch the demon king in the first place…

Seriously, I didn’t want to even imagine how bleak it would have been if this hadn’t been an ordeal.

But…

“What?”

This 16th floor ordeal was just a reenactment, and it didn’t really make me gloomy.

So, when I replied to the demon king, he immediately shouted as if he was absurd.

“Three worlds will perish! There is enough causality for the demon to descend! There is nothing in this world that cannot be erased!”

“So what?”

“What is that?”

“Whether this world perishes or not, does that have much to do with me?”

“…”

The demon king opened his mouth as if he had lost his words, but this is the reality.

The demon king must have realized this belatedly, so he clenched his teeth and spoke in a venomous voice.

“…bloke! Were you really not a hero!”

“I said so in the first place.”

“How can you use that authority on someone who isn’t even an apostle of the Dragon God? What the hell do you mean!”

I couldn’t think of anything else to say, so after thinking for a while, I said my current identity.

“challenger.”

And with that, I took out the holy sword from the scabbard hanging from my waist.

「The authority ‘Blood Heaven’ is activated.」

「The authority, ‘Sword Flame’ is activated.」

「The skill, ‘Destructive Sky’ is activated.]

「The limit on what can be broken is removed. 」

Awesome!

As if the sword was on fire, red thunderbolts flowed and at the same time purple energy permeated.

Since the skill of punishment was activated, even though magic was injected into the sword to the limit, the magic did not decrease at all.

‘It’s definitely rewarding to learn by consuming the sword sense.’

It would have been really nice if it wasn’t an ability that could only be activated by demons and monsters… but

it didn’t make sense to be able to use such a powerful ability without any restrictions, so I didn’t want to do that.

Then, it was the moment to move to kill the demon king.

The demon king saw me approaching with a sword and quickly opened his mouth in shock.

“…insignificant things! I saved her life, so why are you procrastinating so much!”

Before I could understand what this meant, I sensed an arrow flying from the left.

「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ is activated.]

I didn’t feel the arrow’s presence, but attacking from a blind spot was meaningless to me with the Fire Dragon’s Eye.

“What is this?”

Chow!

With my left hand, I grabbed the arrow that had come close to reaching my head, and I frowned.

“No way…”

As if the bad feeling wasn’t wrong, an ice arrow was fired from the right side.

「The skill ‘Sword Warfare Sword’ is activated.」

Kwajangchang!

I understood the situation properly only after I pulverized the ice arrow with a slash at once.

“…This is a bit unexpected.”

He clicked his tongue as he saw those who appeared from various parts of the fortress digging through the wreckage.

I didn’t want to have an annoying scuffle, so I tried to wipe it out at once with the Holy Light…

Maybe the Demon King protected them right before the Holy Light reached them, but those who were colleagues or colleagues were quite fine.

After I stood there watching them for a while, I heard a voice.

“…Please die gracefully. If you live, this world will perish.”

Zerpa, who had lost her left arm, said that while holding a staff with her right hand.

“You bastard…! As long as a guy like you is alive, everyone dies the same! please die!”

Next, Allen behind me glared at me and growled.

“Neil! you are a warrior! Think a little more rationally!”

Daisy spoke imploringly as she tugged at the string of her bow.

At that, I replied with a cold sneer.

“Trying to sacrifice others when you cannot sacrifice yourself.”

Without hesitation, I immediately activated the authority I learned on the 15th floor.

There was no reason to deal with them.

“You guys aren’t even worth dealing with.”

The purpose is to kill the demon king in the first place, but what good is there to deal with traitors?

I had no intention of prolonging the battle any longer.

「The authority ‘Sunbo’ is activated.」

Sunbo (瞬步).

It was the power to move through space so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, acquired in the 15th floor ordeal.

Of course, it wasn’t jumping through space, it was just moving through space so fast that it was imperceptible…

but that was enough.

“What the…!”

To reach the demon king in an instant and blow his head off.

Frightened, the demon king twisted his body to avoid the sword attack, but there was no way he would readily allow it.

Awesome!

At the same time as the neat cutting sound resounded, the demon king’s head fell to the floor.

If you can’t avoid the sword attack with various skills and powers, you can never block it.

Without fraudulent techniques such as resurrection, it could not even be revived through regeneration.

That should be the case…

「Mythic < Vampire Exorcist > is activated.」

「Divine attack has the effect of < Cannot Regenerate >」

「Divine attack has the effect of < Exorcism > .」

Because the myths acquired in the previous trials have the ability to prevent all regeneration.

In addition, the effect of expelling demons was attached, so the blow became more powerful.

「Absorbed the command of the demon king ‘Raymond’.」

「Proficiency has increased by 3.74%.」

In fact, the demon king’s body lay face down without showing any signs of regeneration.

「I confirmed the choice of challenger Han Seong-yoon.」

「It was confirmed that it was a choice I would not regret

.

“Congratulations, you have broken through the 16th floor of the Ordeal Tower.”

Then a message announcing the success of the ordeal came to mind.

「As a breakthrough reward, you will be able to assign absolute indestructible properties to items through the manager ‘Hero of the Ruined World’.」

Absolutely indestructible properties granted.

After a few days of hard work, I was able to achieve what I wanted.

If the property of absolute indestructibility is granted, the durability of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword can also be restored.

It doesn’t stop there, and you will be able to receive various buffs by overpowering Damcheonwoo.

‘As expected, it was good that I chose this quest.’

“Go to the waiting room.”

Points and items were not given more, but…

To be honest, I received a reward that did not match the level of the ordeal, so I had no complaints.

Soon, as I tried to cross the portal by moving my legs quietly, my voice pierced my ears.

“My God… what the hell is this…”

When I turned my head, I saw that the demon king was dead and they were hanging out among themselves.

“This is all wrong… the world is going to end… the world… Heh heh heh.”

Zerpa even laughed in madness and shook her body as if she was sobbing.

However, in the history behind the trials, they would not have been able to kill the warrior.

So, the nickname of the manager who requested the quest must be ‘The Hero of the Ruined World’.

I wondered if the original hero in history was chosen by the top right before he died or was called by the top while running away.

‘Then it’s obvious what will happen after that.’

Since they couldn’t kill the hero, the contract with the demon lord made by the party of the hero will be null and void.

The world would have perished as it was, and the warriors would have regained their strength by climbing the tower.

Of course, there was no world to return to, so I couldn’t even do something like a return.

“…”

I no longer felt any emotions toward them.

There was no emotion of anger or contempt at all.

I just thought they were like living corpses.

Just because there is a way to survive without putting up any resistance, you fall in love with it.

Even though each individual has good skills, they set limits in advance and chose betrayal.

I thought it was foolish to see him act like that even though he had an overwhelming apostle of God called a hero as his ally, but…

that was it.

I just felt that way.

It wasn’t even worth killing.

It’s not a strong enemy, so even if you kill it, your stats won’t go up.

Skills, to be honest, didn’t appeal to me that much.

「The administrator, the ‘Hero of the Ruined World’, quietly looks at the fellows.」

Standing there for a while, looking at them, I wondered what I would have done if I had been the Hero.

I assumed that this was not an ordeal, but reality, and I was able to draw a conclusion.

‘Even if this was real, it wouldn’t have been any different.’

Even if this were real, my choice wouldn’t have changed.

Even if he had to face God, he would have done his best against the enemy until the end.

As an apostle of the dragon god, he must have accomplished everything he could and prevented the demon from descending.

Just as he fought to the end without giving up against the god of battle.

So there was nothing more complicated to think about.

I soon reached out and moved to the portal in the heart of the broken citadel.

and.

「Movement to the waiting room will be delayed for a while due to clearing the quest.」

「The administrator, ‘The Hero of the Ruined World’, will determine the payment of the trial reward

. 」

He smiled.

Now is the time to reap the rewards for your hard work.
