216. The usurper (4)
Necromancy.
This unique characteristic of being able to steal the power of the dead through the spirit also applies to the godhead.
Even in a very special form.
When you kill the incarnation of a god, you can collect the spirit fragments and get one whole god.
Even if it wasn’t that, if it was determined that it was a strong enemy, you could have the other person’s powers and skills.
Of course, unlike power extraction, skill extraction does not proceed with 100% probability… … .
Other than that, there were plenty of ways to make a profit.
Shinhwa <Possibility of Transcendence> or <Last Savior> can also give you great rewards.
‘There are not a few things that can be obtained by killing a godhead.’
So, the battle with the usurper was to do my best.
If you lead this battle to victory, you can really get a lot out of it.
Of course, even if you don’t, if you lose, your life and even your strength will be taken away, so I didn’t mean to do anything about it… … .
It was a battle with more rewards than expected, and I felt my motivation rise several times.
But the same goes for the other side.
[It’s a temporary divinity acquisition. Even if you don’t have the level, you can do that. The tower is a very interesting place. ]
When the god of usurpation saw the apotheosis, his red eyes flashed and he swung his hand right away.
[I want your power even more. ]
and.
「Due to <Usurpation> in the sacred realm, a certain amount of magic power is forcibly transferred to the owner of the realm every second.”
[ … … The real realm-type abilities always have the same effects. ]
self.
At the same time as the system message appeared, mana began to leak from his body.
I frowned at him and immediately thoroughly controlled the magical power within my body.
That is, while activating the power skill, Mana Management.
「The power skill ‘Management of Magic’ is strongly activated.」
However, it was impossible to prevent the forced transfer of magical power.
Even the amount of magic flowing to the usurper was considerable, so it felt like a lot of power was consumed.
But even if the sky collapses, there is a hole that will rise… … .
It wasn’t long before I realized I had a skill to break through this situation.
Right-.
「The skill ‘Punishment’ is activated.」
「During the active time of the skill, all stats increase by +7.」
「While the skill is active, magic power is never consumed.」
「The power of the dragon dwells in you, and your magic ability increases by 100%.」
It was a demon-only buff skill, Punishment.
The best buff skill that fixes the magic consumption value to [0] and increases the magic ability by 100% while dealing with demons.
Originally, there was a flaw that it could only be used against demons… … .
Interestingly, in this 18th floor stage world, it was possible to use the power of demons with psychic powers.
And since the usurper is a deity who has stolen numerous psychic powers in this world, one of the psychic powers he possesses determines that the punishment will be activated.
At that, the usurper’s eyes widened.
[ … … her. Fixing the consumption value of ether to 0? It’s a really stupid ability. ]
But that was only for a moment.
[Then, shall I go a little more violently? ]
Cheer up—!
Floating books all over the sacred realm opened all at once, targeting me.
I knew to some extent from previous conversations what these numerous books with various characteristics were.
The usurper said that all of these books were symbols of the numerous abilities he had stolen.
I’m guessing that books can probably exert several supernatural powers.
‘Then there’s no need to worry.’
However, among the psychic powers of this world, the power to activate books as a medium was not so worried.
That would be too… … .
「The skill ‘Endless Spell Devour’ is activated.」
“Any spell that touches your body is converted into pure magical power.”
Because I have the natural enemy skill of the manifestation-type ability called Spell Suppression.
Kwaaang-!
In reality, the various abilities ejected from the bookshelf didn’t even do me any meaningful damage.
Fire, ice, rays, blasts, sound waves, etc… … .
Indeed, various superpowers unfolded, but none of them could hurt.
At that time, Damcheonwu, who had been quiet until now, spoke as if muttering.
-It’s heterogeneous.
He spoke suspiciously.
―It’s an extremely passive way of fighting, despite showing great greed. I don’t know why, but the god of usurpation seems to be exploring your abilities.
‘That’s right, isn’t it? We didn’t even lose that much.’
To be honest, I did not intend to hide a certain amount of defeat, but to reveal it.
After all, I have quite a few abilities left.
Even if a countermeasure was established, there were not too few ways to break the countermeasure.
However, Dam Chun-wu said as if he was embarrassed.

-That’s right, though. It seems that he has other ulterior motives, though. It doesn’t sound like you’re planning a normal search battle.
After listening to it, I felt a little bit different.
Come to think of it, I hadn’t used the Divine Authority <Destruction>, an ability that could end a battle, and I hadn’t directly used the enhancement-type abilities I had acquired through usurpation.
Even if you’re guessing that it can inflict physical damage.
That means there’s something to be gained by taking the quest longer.
‘Then I have to figure it out.’
What he obtained from the giant tree labyrinth was not only skills and powers, but also exclusive privileges for the tower.
「Exclusive authority #K-1547[View information] is activated.」
He read the usurper’s information while accepting the raindrops without damage.
「Eold Balkan」
「A person who became a god of usurpation by acquiring sufficient spirituality, faith, and legends.」
「Can use Divine Authority <Usnap> · <Destruction> · <Rule> · <Activate>.」
「However, the current divine authority <Destruction> is on a cooldown.」
“He is currently waiting for the moment of choice.”
And soon after reading all the information that popped up in the system message, he frowned.
‘… … I thought it was impossible, but even if I returned, I couldn’t use the divinity <Destruction> again.’
It is also true that he possesses an unexpectedly large number of divine powers.
The Divine Authority <Destruction> is currently on a cooldown.
And the sentence ‘Waiting for the moment of choice’ written on the last line caught my eye.
It was worth it.
‘Did he have a hidden ability?’
Waiting for a choice in this combat situation means thinking about the timing of the activation of a specific ability.
Divinity, authority, myth, supernatural power, etc… … .
The usurper’s power is as great as a divinity, so it’s not something you can casually ignore.
The trouble didn’t last long.
‘Even if I don’t know what it is, I can’t let them use a hidden move.’
There was no need to wait for the usurper’s counter-like ability to activate.
After maximizing the grace of the wind with the Power skill, I rushed at the usurper at once.
「Authority ‘Sword Spirit Strength 劍气成罡’ is strongly activated.」
Whoa!
Dew-like sword steel formed on the twin swords, and the nature of giving an essential blow to the divinity itself was born.
I knew from my battle with the Heavenly Demon that the effect of altering the forced laws of the Sword River was indeed fraudulent.
‘Even if it’s a godhead, it’s hard to endure the change of the law of sword steel.’
Taking time to learn martial arts was not useless.
Aside from not liking the Moorim dimension, martial arts is definitely a great skill.
In theory, if you hone your martial arts to the limit, you should be able to kill even a god with a human body.
However, since I am unfolding it in the state of deification, the power is no different from increasing several times.
「The exclusive effect of the power skill skill ‘Soul Source Demonic Sword’, ‘Doubling’ is activated.」
「Consumes divine power to increase the power of Power Skills by [4] times.」
In addition to the power skill, Honwon Magic Sword, the output was even stronger by mixing small skills such as Amplification of Intention and Reinforcement of Intention.
Now, the halo of light emitted from the twin swords has changed to an unusual appearance, and soon the usurper who saw the sword river was alert.
[ … … ! ]
Although he is a usurper with very weak emotions, he seems to have noticed that the situation is not so good.
He kicked off the ground and leaped into the air, and then spread angelic ornate wings from his back.
I think he’s trying to drag some time by dodging into the air… … .
I had a few flying abilities.
「The authority skill ‘Steel Wings’ is activated.」
As soon as the steel wings formed on my back, I spurred through the air and flew faster.
「Wind Spirit’s Boots (A+) exclusive effect, ‘Way of the Wind’ is activated.」
Then, using the exclusive effect attached to the wind spirit’s boots, the movement of the body became smoother.
The usurper who saw it said as if he was dumbfounded.
[ Air work is not enough to create wings, so the airflow manipulation seems like a combo with no conscience. ]
But that was only for a moment.
[That’s more than that. ]
I replied to that and activated the worn-out watch of the regressor.
“Returner’s Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’ is activated.”
「The psychic ability ‘Chosen Angel’s Wings (A+)’ is returned to the ‘pre-attack state’ by ‘Attack Nullification’.」
「Returner’s Worn Watch (SSS+) exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’ has a cooldown of 30 minutes.」
As soon as the usurper lost his splendid wings, he began to fall right down.
Of course, I tried to immediately emit flames from my body and use the output to continue the air battle… … .
It couldn’t change direction as freely as wings, and its speed was also unmatched by wings.
Intuitively.
That this is the place to win.
In response, I immediately took the posture to wield the sword and consumed the holy power to activate the authority.
next moment.
「The Authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is given to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes divine power to instantly move to the desired point within sight.」
Chow-!
[ oops… … ! ]
Both of the usurper’s arms were neatly cut off to the shoulder blades.
I frowned at the results that were different from what I expected.
‘I sensed and reacted, albeit belatedly, to the use of Sunbo… … ?’
Originally, I was planning to blow my head, but before that, the usurper reacted to Sunbo.
This is despite the fact that there were not too many precursors to its use.
It was a disaster.
I never thought I would waste a hidden move called Sunbo like this.
Feeling impatient, I quickly retrieved the twin swords and tried to swing them again… … .
[ … … Even though I don’t like melee combat that much, I’ve been collecting enhancements one by one without throwing them away. ]
Paaang… … !
After being hit in the stomach by the usurper’s kick, I was pushed back.
Originally, since he had lost both arms, his sense of balance would be messed up, and he would have been unable to properly swing his legs.
However, the opponent was both a god and the final boss of the 18th floor stage.
Chiyi!
[To prepare for this situation. ]
The usurper had already restored his severed arms.
「The skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.」
「The mastery of the skill ‘Ashen Blood (B+)’ has reached 100%.」
「The level of the skill ‘Ashen Blood (B+)’ has risen by one level.」
In addition, I also recovered the wounds caused by being beaten in the abdomen with gray blood.
And as a small benefit, there was the growth of gray blood.
However, the important thing was not the level increase of the gray blood.
I turned my head away with a frown on my eyes, and the usurper smiled lightly and said:
[ Great. Except for the physical blow that uses the body, all abilities are useless. It’s at the pinnacle of all body strengthening abilities. ]
He shook his blue hair and continued.
[But that means, in other words, I’m not very familiar with methods other than direct combat. ]
and.
[That will be your fate. ]
next moment.
「A new rule is created in the sacred realm <Usiration> by the divine <Rule>.”
「Rule 1. All battles within the sacred realm <Usurpation> are conducted as long-distance battles.」
「Rule 2. All beings who enter the divine realm <Usiration> lose 90% of their physical abilities.」
「Rule 3. When engaging in close combat within the sacred realm <Seize>, transfer one of your abilities to the owner of the realm at random.」
「Rule 4. Within the sacred realm <Usurpation>, most of the abilities related to close combat are sealed and cannot be used at all.」
「Rule 5. Items cannot be used within the sacred realm <Seize>.」
I could feel the powerful rules created by the divine begin to bind me.
My whole body was powerless, and a really annoying message appeared in my field of view, saying, ‘The skill has been sealed by divine authority’.
Only then did I realize
Until now, the reason the usurper continued the search battle was to check whether I had a superior external attack method.
‘Did you think that there was no external means of attack after seeing that it was very powerful in close combat?’
I frowned at him, and the usurper smiled and said,
[It’s a rule that has equal conditions for each other. you and me too You cannot rely on your physical abilities in this space. ]
It was as if he thought I had no external means of attack.
[A warrior who cannot engage in close combat is not worth much. ]
In fact, unlike before, the usurper’s face showed a little bit of joy.
He probably thought that from now on he would be able to crush me one-sidedly.
but… … .
[To be bothered. ]
It wasn’t.
「The skill ‘Starlight Star Light’ is strongly activated.」
I immediately created a dark red starlight in my grasp, and the eyes of the usurper who saw it opened wide.
[ that… … ! ]
and.
[You said it was a rule that had equal conditions, right? ]
next moment.
[I hope that that thought will remain unchanged until the end. ]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… … !
The entire sacred realm collapsed, enveloped in dark red starlight.
