184. Irregular (5)
sanctuary.
A place where you can offer sacrifices to demons and at the same time inject divine power into demons.
Currently, the most interesting place in this fortified city, the sanctuary, cannot be opened by humans.
however… … .
“Am I not human?”
The sanctuary was opened to me when it should not have been open now.
It’s very simple too.
“That, yes… … .”
After beating the dark lord about him, I kindly asked him a few questions, and the explanation came back soon.
However, the explanation was not immediately accepted.
“… … Do demons lie when they open their mouths?”
It was worth it.
‘What do you mean by not being human… … .’
Because the current dark lord was claiming that I was a demon, not a human.
It was absurd.
So far, I have never been outside of the human species.
Well, if you look at the abilities you have, it’s like you’ve taken off the skin of a human a long time ago… … .
To be honest, there’s no way you can’t be treated as a human being with this level of ability.
‘Since it was said to be a demon’s sanctuary, there may be other conditions.’
Maybe it wasn’t necessarily a demon to open it.
It could have been a rescue that was open to those who had killed more than a few demons, or it could have been a rescue that was open to those with divine power.
The number of cases that can be guessed at present is quite large.
Therefore, I asked the dark lord to tell me everything I knew about the sanctuary, but I didn’t like the answer that came back.
“No, how many times do you really have to say that you don’t even know Jim anymore… … !!”
“Then why is the sanctuary open?”
“That’s because you’re not human, so you’re open!”
“… … Also, why did you suddenly stop being honorable?”
“Why do I have to respect my fellow demons! Jim is the king of demons!”
“… … .”
No matter how many times I knock, the words that come back do not change, so I think it’s real… … .
In the end, according to the Dark Lord’s words, for some reason, I was simply treated as ‘a demon, not a human’.
‘It’s like suddenly treating me like a demon, and it’s not a story with extremely low credibility.’
After thinking about it for a while, I had a flash of realization.
‘no way… … .’
and… … .
『Skill – Depersonalization (A+)』
『Proficiency – 21%』
『Explanation – You can become a being that has escaped from the human species.』
『Effect – It gradually begins to break away from the human category.』
… … The corner of his mouth twitched when he realized the skill he had stolen from the high-rich Carvet on the 4th floor.
“driving me crazy.”
I didn’t know that there was not much change in my body, so I didn’t know… … .
It seemed to be a problem with the higher-grade effect of necromancy that ‘skills are inherited when absorbing skills’.
Since the high-rich Karvet’s skill proficiency was added to the skill to escape the human species, they were treated as demons.
‘Then, does it mean that I am a demon in terms of the system?’
Of course, this worked pretty well for now.
Originally, it became possible to enter the sanctuary, which would have been impossible to enter unless it was a demon.
But more than that, it made me anxious that the system wasn’t treating me as a human anymore.
“… … .”
After concentrating and thinking for a while, I came to a conclusion.
‘Let’s erase it later with skill synthesis, and use it as much as we can for now.’
I immediately gave instructions to the Dark Lord.
“Anyway, since the sanctuary is open, you should go and see it.”
“… … .”
“Guide me.”
“i get it… … .”
The dark lord began guiding meekly, probably knowing that no matter what he said, it would not work.
jerk, jerk… … .
As I descended the gloomy stairway, I was soon hit with suffocating air.
‘Is it Magi?’
If I had the explorer’s handmade gloves (B+) I bought before entering the giant tree labyrinth, I could have turned all of these into an advantage… … .
Since I didn’t have the items I originally used, Magi’s breath was choked.
Of course, [HP] doesn’t wear out to the extent that my breath is choked, and it’s just a little unpleasant… … .
‘Even though he has the magic resistance of King Manmaji, it’s at this level.’
Considering the tremendous magic resistance generated by the newly acquired skill of the Manmaji King, it was a tremendous miasma.
「Skill ‘Manmaji King 萬魔之王’ is activated.」
“Absorbs all demonic energy and converts it into magical energy.”

Of course, the displeasure did not last long because all of the demons could be converted into Manmaji King.
By the time I continued my steps, a new space was revealed.
“We have arrived at the sanctuary.”
The underground sanctuary was equipped with an altar centered on the black spring water from which thick demonic energy flowed.
To him, I looked around with curious eyes and asked a question.
“They say it’s a sanctuary, but what the hell is this place for?”
“It is a place where offerings are made to the Demon God and Holy Relics are received, and divinity is injected into the Demonic Spirits.”
“Divine infusion… … ?”
“Yes. All monsters in this giant tree labyrinth can receive divinity from that spring water.”
“… … .”
This is what I heard from High Rich Carbet on the 4th floor.
‘Come to think of it, the dark lord said that he could inject divinity into monsters… … .’
So, because of that, I went so far as to kill all the monsters on the 4th floor.
I never thought I would be able to come here in person… … .
I asked him, touching my chin.
“Isn’t there no cost to injecting divinity into demons or monsters?”
“To some extent. However, neither demons nor monsters can absorb divinity beyond their own capabilities.”
“Why?”
“It must be because it is a waste. There is no need to give more divinity to those who can’t use holy power properly.”
“… … .”
It’s more reasonable than you think.
‘The strong are infused with a lot of divinity, and the weak are infused with less divinity, la… … .’
It was interesting.
Divinity is not given according to one’s faith… … .
The amount of divine power given depends on whether or not you have the power to use the divine power well.
At this point, I couldn’t help but try it.
so… … .
“Wait a minute! Go, why are you going to the spring water all of a sudden!? Didn’t you say you came to get the holy relic!”
I immediately put into practice my greedy thought of wanting to enter the spring.
The dark lord spoke as if he was worried about what he would do again… … .
“don’t worry. I’ll take the holy relic when I’m done with it.”
“Boo, don’t do anything disquieting! You will be cursed by the Demon God!”
To be honest, the only thing I was worried about was the Dark Lord, and I had nothing to do with it, so I laughed.
“What is a curse? I’ve never seen a Godhead like that before.”
I knew this because I had already experienced contact with the godhead several times.
No matter what you do in this place, you will not be cursed by the godhead.
Well, I don’t know if it’s not that the godhead himself moves directly, but that he’s using the believer… … .
The devil’s followers in this fortress city were in a state of near extinction, so there was nothing to worry about.
“If I am not a human according to the system judgment… … .”
next moment.
“You mean I can receive divinity too?”
I immediately threw myself into the spring water.
***
As soon as I fell into the black spring water, a message appeared in my field of vision.
「You have entered the special area ‘Macheon(魔泉)’.」
“The demon’s body begins to erode rapidly.”
「When you are a demon or monster, divinity is injected according to your overall combat power.」
I read the message as I used Manmajiwang to get rid of demons that were quickly starting to eat away at me.
‘Except for the demonic erosion, it proceeds as I knew.’
overall combat power.
I could guess what this meant.
It’s probably a concept calculated by combining all the stats with skills and powers.
‘Necromancy power extraction works in a similar way, so I can infer it to some extent.’
Of course, like Necromancy, I’m not sure if combat power is calculated based on the number of skills or powers… … .
「Condition satisfied.」
「It will start to absorb the divinity in the demonic spring.」
You won’t have to bother with calculations anyway, you’ll soon find out.
Shoot ah-!
At the same time as the flow of water gushing up from the depths of the spring, I felt a strange power dwelling in my body.
It was divinity.
‘Is this the demon’s divine power… … .’
It was surprising to feel the chaotic divine power rushing at random.
It was because, among the divinities I had seen so far, there was no one whose aura was as intense as this.
‘Except for the chaotic aura, divinity itself is very close to pure power.’
Well, those who properly absorbed this might have mental problems, but it was definitely useful anyway.
together… … .
‘Thanks to the pure power, it’s not that difficult to eat the divinity.’
The devil’s divinity could be eaten as much as he wanted through the divinity of transcendence.
Kwadde… … !
If you squeeze out the chaotic energy itself once and shake it off, it becomes a great divine power and accumulates in your heart.
After repeating the process several times, a system message came to mind before I knew it.
「The grade of the authority ‘Divine Power (A-)’ will grow to the grade of ‘Divine Power (A)’.”
「The authority ‘Divine Power (A)’ can now be strengthened by integrating <Myth>.」
divine growth.
As if the divine power that had been accumulated until now was shining, it eventually grew.
‘It’s amazing.’
What was even gained through the growth of this divine power was the integration and strengthening of <Myth>.
‘Is it an ability that allows me to recycle all useless <myths>?’
Well, we don’t know yet how <Shinhwa> will be integrated and strengthened, but we will know sooner or later.
How helpful is the newly added divine ability.
I smiled at him enjoying the pleasure of growing up.
‘Really, the enemies related to demons give generous rewards.’
At this point, I felt good about being treated as a kind of demon.
But that was only for a moment.
[You have an insatiable greed for a child who has just established divinity! ]
I was horrified when I heard a voice that seemed to resonate in my head without any precursor.
“… … !?”
It was worth it.
[I understand why the God of Darkness or the God of Proof is paying attention to you! Ha ha ha! Certainly an unusual divinity! ]
Because this wasn’t the situation I was envisioning.
[It’s definitely surprising that you have more than three divinities… … ! ]
I thought to myself while listening to the extremely high-tension voice without knowing why.
‘I didn’t know that the Demon God would reveal himself when I took the divine power… … .’
[Oh, by the way, it was fun to come all this way through being a demon but having a body that wasn’t a demon! ]
really… … .
[ I like it! Challenger Han Seong-yoon! ]
Nothing is going the way you think.
[I will offer you an alliance—! ]
The Irregular appeared at an unexpected timing.
