The Boundless Necromancer Chapter 302

302. Black magic (2)

Black magic.

A demon’s secret art that is only allowed to geniuses and twists and assists everything.

Surprisingly, despite learning this, I didn’t think much had changed.

‘I feel the same way when I first used sword energy on my own.’

It was worth it.

So far, all I’ve spent on learning black magic is time and mental power.

At most, I only studied and realized what black magic essentially means.

As Alkaid said, I didn’t really get the feeling that black magic was the exclusive domain of geniuses.

‘Is there room for real talent to play a big role?’

but… … .

―… … Was he crazy?

Without any time to continue pondering, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword trembled and Dam Cheonwoo’s voice was heard.

―How can you, a mere human, unleash the secret arts of the demons? And don’t you think that that in itself is a talent?

[He is not a human, but a god… … . ]

―… … Even so, Magi is a power separate from divinity. Control ability to handle it freely, and intuition to see the essence. Those two are bound to be areas of talent.

[ … … . ]

If you really want to ask that question, there is nothing to say.

In some ways, controlling demon energy is not that easy.

Perhaps being able to control demon energy like this is part of the application of talent.

―Without thinking about it that complicatedly, your talent is beyond the standard.

Thinking that way, Dam Cheon-woo continued speaking in a confident tone.

―So, isn’t that goblin over there also angry?

It’s no different… … .

“Hahaha, uhuhuh, keuhuh, kyahaha…” … !!”

Alkaid.

A goblin who took the position of 62nd of the 72 monarchs of the Demon World.

Suddenly, he let out an alien laugh that bordered on madness.

It looks like he’s crying, laughing like crazy, and despairing deep down.

“till now… … , so far… … !!”

Alkaid’s yellow eyes flashed wide and he shouted, shedding bloody tears.

“What on earth is everything I’ve done so far?”

The dwarf goblin in front of me denied anything.

Until now, enemies have expressed denial in some form when they see a power they cannot understand.

There was no difference whether it was skill, divinity, or talent.

Perhaps as a self-protection mechanism, he was unable to acknowledge his shortcomings and fell into the swamp of death, spewing out endless feelings of negativity.

“If that is what you are talking about, black magic in the true sense…” … .”

But Alkaid is different.

“I, I… … . Didn’t he just turn himself in? … ? That’s also an outrageous act of self-destruction… … .”

Not only did he not deny anything, he accepted the true nature of black magic.

Therefore, Alkaid’s madness and despair were impossible to keep up with.

Laughter continues, followed by crying.

Watching the small goblin sobbing in madness gave me a mixed feeling.

However, Alkaid’s sobbing lasted only for a moment.

“then… … , I will challenge you… … .”

Before I knew it, Alkaid’s goblin-like yellow eyes were filled with an emotion bordering on obsession.

“I will prove that my dark magic is right by defeating you here… … !!”

Alkaid cried out desperately, expressing emotions stained with hatred.

“Then everything I do will no longer be a useless struggle!!”

and.

“Distort!”

This was the moment when Alkaid shouted out the words of black magic with all his heart.

“The shadow of a thunderbolt lurking in the darkness.”

Alkaid’s chant continued so plainly that it gave me goosebumps.

Twajijijijijijijijik─!!

In an instant, the monarch’s fortress collapsed as if bursting by demon energy.

Before I knew it, black thunderbolts pierced the ceiling of the castle, piercing everywhere, and the purple sky of the demon world suddenly revealed itself.

and… … .

“The ultimate black magic comes from attack, not support… … !!”

The black-stained magic thunderbolt ascends to the heavens like an Imoogi attempting to ascend to heaven.

“I will prove it!!”

Alkaid’s black thunderbolt continues its ascension, as if trying to defy the established answer.

“This is the black magic I have built up, and this will be the true black magic!”

Alkaid said that as if he had forgotten that he had taken on the position of monarch.

However, Alkaid’s black magic was definitely on a different level from before.

This was because the black thunderbolt that soared into the sky drew a circle and increased its power.

At least a direct hit would shatter the divine armor.

It was enough for Alkaid himself to declare that he would redefine black magic.

But I wasn’t that worried.

[I don’t know. ]

That’s right… … .

[Didn’t I tell you? ]

Unlike before, I can now handle black magic.

[Now I think I can handle black magic better than you. ]

and.

Wow-!

In an instant, a black halo rotated violently on his back, creating a black light.

At first glance, it looks like a halo, just black.

The ability of the black halo created through black magic was simple.

as soon as… … .

‘With the black halo, you can easily mix divinity with black magic.’

The black halo that colors the divine armor is close to a kind of black magic support system.

Just as in the previous trials of Secret Garden, the evil spirit mixed divine energy with black magic… … .

Through the black halo, I was able to mix holy power with black magic.

And that too very naturally.

[Now I can finally check it out. ]

so… … .

[What happens if you mix divinity with black magic? ]

Now it is time to see the combination of newly acquired powers with your own eyes.

“Use sacred <death>.”

“He can control the death of everything that has been eroded by sacred <death>.”

“Divine <Death> can be strengthened with black magic by [Black Halo].”

The essence of black magic was simple.

To assist by twisting part of the original concept.

If so, there was definitely room for this to be used as a divine power.

“Divine <Death> distorts and enlarges the target with [Black Halo].”

Just like this.

“Thunderbolt of distorted shadows!!”

Soon after, Alkaid shed bloody tears and screamed in rage.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaann –

The dark clouds that had dyed the purple sky black all gathered in one place, and the lightning flashed brightly.

Then, the thunderbolt that fell like that became a spear and penetrated the ground.

… … No, to be precise, is it correct to say that it was intended to penetrate?

Kkwajijijijijijijik─!

Suddenly, the black thunderbolt continued to twist in space and shook loudly.

It looks like a wild beast struggling before death.

But that didn’t mean something strange happened, and the black thunderbolt disappeared as if facing death.

When I saw the black lightning disappear like that, I smiled.

[It really works as expected. ]

It’s no different… … .

[Has it succeeded in destroying space itself with sacred <death>? ]

With the sacred <Death>, the black thunderbolt was extinguished throughout space.

***

Why can the sacred word <death>, which is originally applicable only to living things, be applied to an abstract concept such as space?

[ hmm… … . ]

It was simple.

[ I never thought it would be possible to expand the scope of application of sacred <death> through black magic. ]

The biological category of sacred <death> is twisted so that it can also be applied to the concept of space.

By using the power of black magic [black halo].

At best, for a black magic that had just been created in the battle with Alkaid, it was more practical to use than expected.

In a form that supports the divine armor, it is possible to strengthen the divine power by connecting it to the divine power itself… … .

Really, it was worth using.

And as the black lightning disappeared from the sky, Alkaid’s panicked voice was heard.

“What… … .”

It was worth it.

“What on earth is this…?” … .”

You probably didn’t know that space would be destroyed by divine <death>.

Actually, I wasn’t sure until I tried it myself.

However, after twisting the scope of application of sacred <Death> using black magic [Black Halo], my thoughts became firm.

Now I am firmly convinced that the divine <death> need not be limited to life.

“How can this be…” … .”

And as he enjoyed his newfound state, Alkaid muttered.

“Are you saying that the shadow of the lightning that lurked in the darkness was completely destroyed, including the space…? … ?”

I guess I noticed that this time, the black thunderbolt was completely destroyed by the divine <Death>… … .

Anyway, that didn’t change anything.

I said as I looked at Alkaid.

[Are we done with showing black magic now? ]

“… … … … ah.”

[Otherwise─. ]

“… … … … “Shut up!!”

Kwachachachachachachachachang—!!

And Alkaid, half in a fit, shed bloody tears and fired a black bullet.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of black magics were unleashed, coloring the air with demonic energy.

The magic appeared as if covering my eyes, and the chanting continued to whisper as if disturbing my ears.

But that’s the end.

‘I’ve completely lost my mind now.’

Alkaid lost his previous cool-headedness and just deployed black magic at random.

No longer has a goblin reached the pinnacle solely based on his talent for dark magic.

There are only losers who have failed to prove themselves and are half desperate.

And I spent a few more minutes dealing with Alkaid, trying to get something out of him.

Still, is there still some remnant of cool-headed reason?

‘… … It may not be as good as before, but it’s definitely sharper.’

Alkaid combined dozens of black magic spells and deployed different strategies.

The magic unfolds without stopping even for a moment, leaving no time for breathing… … .

There was no such interesting black magic anymore, and Alkaid was also reaching his limit.

Perhaps Alkaid realized that it would be difficult to even run away anymore, and he suddenly gathered even more strength and attacked like a whirlwind.

But after dealing with it a few times, I started to get tired of it.

‘Now I just want to roughly end the battle.’

It was a battle that would end in about an hour at most.

There was no reason to fight if there were no more skills to gain and no enemies to gain experience anyway.

And while I was thinking about how to finish it, a really great idea suddenly popped into my head.

[ Now that I think about it, was the black magic shown back then used like this? ]

as soon as… … .

【An unwanted sanctuary. 】

It follows Alkaid’s black magic that previously interfered with the power skill.

However, the effect of the black magic [Unwanted Haven] was on a completely different level from Alkaid’s.

At best, Alkaid only put one power skill on cooldown… … .

The black magic I used this time, [Unwanted Haven], was able to seal the enemy’s magic energy itself.

‘Originally, even if it were black magic [Unwanted Haven], it wouldn’t have been possible to do this.’

It was worth it.

“Transcendence Myth <Spirit Attunement> is activated.”

“From now on, the divinity effect of <Indomitable Attack> will be added to challenger Han Seong-yoon’s divinity use.”

「※By designating an opponent, all types of status can become equal to that opponent for [4 minutes].」

「※However, if you are unable to withstand the burden accumulated due to the increase in rank, the power of <Spirit Indomitable> may be stopped.”

“From now on, the sacred effect of <Self-Adjustment> will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.”

「※It becomes possible to freely control and manipulate the spiritual powers that one possesses.」

「※You can control formless power with spiritual power and apply the effect of spiritual power to that power.」

Currently, I have imbued black magic with spiritual power through transcendental mythology <Spiritual Power Attunement>.

Therefore, the effect of black magic [Unwanted Haven] had no choice but to increase as well.

Therefore, it was possible to use a non-standard spell that temporarily sealed all of Alkaid’s black magic.

… … Well, it’s just an inefficient seal that will be released in about a minute at most.

“this is… … !”

Still, this was enough.

“To the very end, are you insulting me?!”

At least not enough to give Alkaid death.

[ no. ]

and.

[I have no particular thoughts. ]

Next moment.

[ Anyway, you are the person to learn black magic, nothing more or less. ]

Suddenly!

As he cut off Alkaid’s head, system messages appeared before his eyes.

“I have absorbed the spirit of Demon Lord ‘Alkaid’.”

“Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the monarch, bringing him 8.7% closer to his second ascension.”

「As a special reward according to <Divinity Rise>, you will acquire the exclusive effect ‘Dark Talent (A+)’.”

“From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s level of talent related to black magic will increase significantly.”

[ … … Still, it was fun. ]

The time has come to reap the reward of victory.
