240. God of Proof (3)
Assassination.
Killing people without anyone knowing was another specialty of mine.
It was worth it.
There have been many times I’ve killed something without leaving a single witness.
“A task in the Sacred Zone <The Field of Proof [Step 3]> has occurred.”
「※Task Description: Secretly assassinate the emperor who worships the devil without any witnesses.」
「※Task success condition: Assassinate the emperor without witnesses as much as possible (0/1)」
「※ Task Success Reward: Clear 3 stages · All stats +10 · Designated stat boost potion (A+)」
So, as soon as I saw this task, I thought I could eat it raw.
「The special power ‘Ghost Magic’ is activated.」
“All energy has been converted to a presence blocking state.”
There’s even a ghost magic that I got from a previous quest… … .
I couldn’t imagine being caught assassinating someone.
No matter who it is, they won’t notice my existence unless they openly use physical force.
In fact, the task was as if it had already been successful.
‘It won’t be that difficult to succeed in the task itself.’
In response, I immediately began to move while slowly inspecting the surroundings while blocking any presence.
As long as you know where your opponent is, you can always assassinate them… … .
In a situation where they did not know where the emperor was, they had to gather information.
And I’m curious about the background assigned to this task.
‘Is this world all fake like the trial of the tower?’
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.
Even if it is an ancient deity, it would be close to impossible to reproduce a fake world like the tower.
But this time, the task given by the god of proof was like an ordeal in the tower.
If so, the answer is as if it were fixed.
“… … .”
As I thought about it with my eyes closed, a voice rang in my ears.
-It’s not even worth worrying about. Because godhood is not the top. This is a really real world.
Dam Chun-wu, who had come to his senses, read his thoughts and answered without even asking.
“Is that so.”
―It’s not even worth thinking about in the first place. Even if the holy ground is connected to the tower, do you think the tower will provide a fake world to the godhead?
“… … .”
―Even though the Tower would help with some of the rewards you get from the Holy Land, it wouldn’t give you that much.
“I guess so.”
It was as if the answer had been decided from the beginning.
‘It’s impossible to sweep them all away with the Holy Light.’
If this were a real world, extensive assassination (?) using the holy light would not be possible.
Because it is the principle of not harming the innocent.
Well, the story would be different if the target was a monster or a demon, but it doesn’t seem like that… … .
It seemed better not to do anything that ordinary people could get caught up in.
Bubbly.
As they were walking around the imperial palace and spreading the spirit, they saw people walking the streets.
For some reason, most of them looked haggard and had a lot of emotions close to frustration.
Only then did I understand the background behind the task to some extent.
The emperor who worships the devil, the people who are shabby to the extent of heterogeneity, and even the success condition of assassinating the emperor… … .
“That’s how it happened.”
After thinking for a while, I figured out the situation and smiled.
Presumably, the propensity of the Gods in the proofs I’ve seen so far was close to good.
Unlike the other deities I saw in the giant tree labyrinth, he wasn’t obsessed with power.
It’s just that they’re largely immersed in achieving their own proof.
so i knew
‘Is this some kind of referee?’
It is to deal with the emperor who worships the devil and eradicate the seed of evil.
It also borrowed the form of a task.
I was intrigued.
In terms of being able to understand the one who is none other than the god of proof.
‘Perhaps if we read the intention behind this task, we can learn more about what kind of character the God of Proof is.’
And when you face the god of proof, you will be able to draw conclusions.
To trust him or not to trust him.
How far did you move while continuing to think?
Before I knew it, I was able to see a palace of enormous size that did not even fit my eyes.
“Is this the imperial palace?”
A figure with countless protection magic intertwined.
I could see it right away when I looked at the shape of the entangled magical power.
I’m guessing that as soon as I enter there, numerous interception systems will begin to intensively fire on me, and accordingly, the exclusion of intruders will begin.
Only then did I realize why assassination was one of the conditions for the success of the task.
‘If the facilities are well equipped like this, the emperor will be able to escape anywhere.’

In a word, if someone notices it, it will be very difficult to complete the task… … .
It means to take the emperor’s life by surprise without anyone noticing.
It’s structured like an Assassin game I played as a kid.
but… … .
‘Still, I can do the assassination quickly.’
There are tricks in the game.
That, too, is an expedient of rotten water beyond stagnant water, which even game designers are astonished at.
The huge amount of experience accumulated while climbing the tower was telling me this.
I have the power like a cheat key, but why do I have to proceed according to the rules?
Sounds like nothing wrong.
So-.
‘Heart sword.’
Following my intuition, I immediately swung the blade of my heart by consuming the divine power in my heart.
───.
There was no sound of anything being cut.
It was just that the view of the imperial palace was slightly distorted.
But I was able to figure it out.
The fact that Shim Gum cut what he wanted.
actually… … .
gugg-.
The slightly distorted view of the imperial palace began to gradually change every second.
slowly, but quickly.
After a few seconds, the change became visible to the naked eye.
It was because the imperial palace had been cut diagonally and was falling apart like a badly cut sandwich.
Palace protection magic, interception system, call notification settings, etc… … .
Numerous features that were intended to exclude intruders were broken beyond repair.
It’s also very neat.
Woo woo woo woo-!
Then, I nodded as I looked at the imperial palace, which was soon split in half and flowed down on the land.
“hmm.”
As a matter of fact… … .
“Yes, this is an assassination.”
Assassination is what it should be.
***
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory brought her 0.003% closer to ascension.」
「Acquire the exclusive effect ‘Charisma (F-)’ as a special reward for <Divinity Ascension>.」
“From now on, Han Seong-yoon’s charm will be slightly higher than before.”
「Accomplished the achievement ‘Enemies of the Empire’.」
「The skill ‘Adversary of the Realm (B+)’ is created.」
“You achieved the achievement ‘Rule Breaker’… … .」
「The skill ‘hair (D+)’ is created… … .」
“Receive the achievement ‘The One Who Forgot Fear’… … .」
“The skill ‘Emotion Exclusion (C+)’ is created… … .」
“It’s a lot of rewards for just throwing the heart sword once.”
Not all skills are useful… … .
Still, a certain skill was valuable, and even if it wasn’t, it was enough to change it to divine power, so it could be said that it was a huge benefit.
But there was no time to be content with that.
People poured out of the collapsed imperial palace.
“Ugh! Your Majesty, Your Majesty… … ! His Majesty, suffered from a beast of a beast… … !”
“Damn it! What was the imperial mage doing! Why didn’t the protection magic activate!”
“order! Where are the Knights!? Hurry up and find the beast and punish it!”
I swung my sword in the direction where I could feel the light demonic energy.
It seems that the emperor died right away, probably because his intuition was correct.
Other than that, the others seem to be still alive and well.
At least there didn’t seem to be too many casualties.
‘Still, I should say it’s fortunate that I’ve become good at controlling my strength.’
If he had exerted more power than this, other than the emperor would have died.
If this is growth in its own way, you can call it growth.
But something was strange.
Originally, if you assassinated the emperor, it would be normal if the message that the task was completed immediately pops up… … .
“Why doesn’t the task clear message appear?”
A situation where those who escaped from the imperial palace were scattered in confusion.
However, there was a problem that the message that the task was cleared did not appear even at this time.
I tried to think about why, but… … .
I didn’t have to think so deeply.
That would be too… … .
「The evil god looks at the challenger Han Seong-yoon and reveals his anger.」
Because it was not difficult to find out the cause.
“The evil spirit wants to make challenger Han Seong-yoon pay for the crime of destroying the toy.”
I didn’t know that this would turn out like this… … .
Now, it seems that the emperor who worships the devil was also related to the godhead.
I fumbled with my memory, and soon I was able to recall the deity called the evil god.
It was a deity worshiped by an ancient demon he faced in the giant tree labyrinth.
“… … .”
I wondered if the third task of <Proof Chapter> was so easy, but now I can understand why the task was so simple.
It’s not different… … .
「The evil spirit is breathing new life into the ruined prospective apostle.」
This is because the emperor of this country was one of the preliminary apostles chosen by the evil spirits.
Namely-.
Even if he died once, the emperor could be resurrected, so the task was not as easy as he thought.
I was laughing at him because I was dumbfounded, so a message came up next.
“The evil god looks at the god of proof and points his finger at what the hell is this!”
“The god of proof tells the evil god that there will be no major damage anyway.”
“The evil spirit says it’s not okay at all and will hold challenger Han Seong-yoon accountable!”
“The god of proof smiles, saying, “Let it lose as much as it wants.”
“The evil spirit complains of great frustration and grabs the back of the neck!”
Apparently, even the God of Proof knew that this emperor was involved with the evil god… … .
He acted confidently as if none of that mattered.
Even in a situation where he might be harmed by evil spirits.
‘I’m really out of my mind.’
At most, to deal with a feud with another deity for one task?
I was able to realize that the God of Proof was crazy beyond imagination.
But that was only for a moment.
“An evil spirit breathed new life into a broken toy.”
「Evil god promotes a broken toy from a preliminary apostle to a 4th-class official apostle.」
「The evil spirit commands the broken toy to destroy the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
oh oh oh-!
As soon as I noticed through the system message that the evil spirit was manipulating, something strange happened.
Suddenly, black energy surged from the ruins created by the collapse of the imperial palace.
It’s also a very familiar vibe.
「The 4th-class formal apostle ‘Razgin von Tarmion’ has awakened as the [Demon Lord].」
“It’s the demon king… … .”
I laughed as I watched the unfathomably deep demonic energy welling up.
「Skill ‘Manmaji King 萬魔之王’ is activated.」
That would be too… … .
“Things are going funny.”
After all, I can say that I am one of the demon lords.
