Boundless Necromancer

303. Black magic (3)

「Absorbed the command of the demon lord, ‘Alkaid’.」

「Challenger Han Seong-yoon won 8.7% closer to the 2nd ascension by winning against the lord.

」 Exclusive effect ‘Dark Talent (A+)’ will be acquired.」

「From now on, the level of talent related to black magic of challenger Han Seong-yoon will increase significantly.」

In an instant, system messages appeared as if obscuring my vision.

‘The percentage of the 2nd ascension has gone up a lot this time as well.’

And after reading all the system messages, I couldn’t help but light up my eyes.

[If things go on like this, wouldn’t even the realm of an ancient deity be a dream at all? ]

It deserved it.

Presumably, if the percentage of secondary ascension reached 100%, there was a strong possibility of becoming an ancient deity.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible to approach the ancient deity just by winning against the monarchs like this?

But I knew it couldn’t be that bad.

‘Still, it’s hard to expect since the growth slows down every time the percentage of the 2nd Ascension rises.’

Perhaps killing all the lords won’t fill all of the 2nd Ascension.

In fact, even though the percentage of the second ascension rose quite a bit, the power of the Divinity did not increase that much.

So, it would be right to end the lousy imagination at this point.

As I put my thoughts together, I heard Dam Chun-wu’s voice.

-…her. The rewards are great. In addition to Ascension’s growth, I didn’t know that I would get the ability to always activate a certain talent increase as a special effect.

The sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled, and Damcheonwu’s words continued.

―It’s a pity that the monarch doesn’t have the power to be called divinity.

[ Iknow, right. … Come to think of it, that part is a bit disappointing. ]

I had no choice but to feel regret.

Because Alkaid was not a strong man who had reached the realm of divinity.

Only with the power of black magic did he rise to a position that could even be compared to that of a formal deity.

In terms of Murim, wouldn’t it be a bit higher than the head of the Blood Demon Religion encountered in the < Blood Ceremony > quest on the 19th floor?

‘Still, even the head of the Blood Demon Church had a divinity.’

Suddenly, the fact that the goblin named Alcaid was strong came to the fore.

Unlike a mere goblin, he is one of the pinnacles of mastery of the secret art of black magic.

So, even though Alkaid’s black magic was a little different from the essence of magic, it was undeniable that it had reached a high level.

It must have been for this reason that even without a divinity, it could be compared to a godhead.

‘Even so, Alkaid is a low rank like Lord 62.’

That’s why I was worried about what the future monarchs would be like.

In fact, the fact that Alkaid, the 62nd lord, is this strong means that other lords in the demon realm are even stronger than this.

I couldn’t help but feel upset.

Perhaps there could be a higher deity beyond the level of formal deity.

Even at a level that cannot be taken lightly.

But anyway, it would have been better to focus on the rewards of the present rather than worry about the future soon to come.

And I immediately changed my mind.

[Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I got the exclusive effect. ]

The moment I confirmed the exclusive effect obtained through the Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >.

[This is…]

I had no choice but to put a smile on my lips as my eyes twinkled right away.

[You can increase your black magic talent…]

It was worth it.

The newly acquired exclusive effect ‘Dark Talent (A+)’ is an effect that supports the Dark Magic talent.

To twist the providence of the world and raise your talent for the supreme technology?

In fact, it could be said to be the most useful exclusive effect for me, who lacks proficiency in black magic.

[I got something better than I thought. ]

So, I concentrated my mind right away and used the black magic again.

In the blink of an eye, the mana in the body was converted to demonic energy, and black light shimmered and burst from various parts of the body.

But this doesn’t do anything.

At best, if you look around the magic like this, it will stop at raising your physical abilities.

As it was, I narrowed my eyes for a moment, as if half-closing them, and recalled the techniques I had seen before in the battle with Alkaid.

[You seem to know a lot about magic…]

But I wasn’t too happy about it.

[Undesirable haven] [Black halo] [Shadow of thunderbolt hiding in the darkness] etc…

So far, I have seen various black magic and even created a black magic called black halo, but it was still not enough.

[Still, it’s still not enough. ]

Black magic is a technique that twists the essence and assists it.

If so, there was a strong possibility that it could be applied to skills and powers beyond divine authority.

However, in the battle with Alkaid, assisting divine < death > with the black magic [Black Halo] is nothing more than a linkage using the divine armor.

It’s not a technique that only uses black magic.

‘The reason why I was able to use the black magic [Black Halo] on the Divine < Death > was because it was interlocked with the Divine Armor.’

So I couldn’t use it equally for skills or powers.

[Then what should I do? ]

And I had no choice but to think about it while choosing my breathing for a while.

Perhaps the only answer to this is to build up technical proficiency in black magic over time.

But didn’t his talent for black magic increase as he got a new exclusive effect this time?

If my dark magic talent really increased greatly, I would definitely be able to create a solution for this.

[ …. ]

Because that’s what talent is.

[ i get it. ]

And.

[You can just rewrite the formula from start to finish. ]

Actually, it was.

Tsutsutsu…!!

However, the process was different from when creating the black magic [Black Halo].

Previously, creating the black magic [Black Halo] only gave room for the application of black magic by linking the magic to the armor of the divine.

It was nothing more than grafting the basics of black magic used by Alkaid to the power of the divine armor.

But this is different.

‘All I had to do was to formulate the formula in a form suitable for the tower’s challenger from the beginning.’

In an instant, I dismantled the spells I saw in the battle with Alkaid.

no.

In fact, the word deconstruction is simply searching for the common denominators of the spells and figuring out the basic principles of the formula composition.

The most basic elements in the composition of the magic formula.

If I could get all of them out, I wouldn’t have to worry so much about making a new spell.

Technologies that share the same principles must have a common denominator.

If so, shouldn’t you be using it?

‘uh?’

But…

[ …. ]

Contrary to my thoughts, the more I dismantled the spell, the more strange things happened.

[What is this again…? ]

That would be the case…

[ …Can this be this easy? ]

Now it was beyond extracting the basic components of black magic.

For some reason, I suddenly felt like I knew the essence of the basic composition of black magic.

Is this the result of the application of the newly acquired exclusive effect ‘Dark Talent (A+)’?

It felt like a part of the body that black magic itself had since birth.

And because of that, the creation of black magic has been accelerated to an unbelievable rate.

Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha…!!

In an instant, Magi’s shape turned around like a puzzle piece.

In a matter of seconds at most, dozens of spells matched their shapes and, like building a building, gradually advanced to a higher level.

It looks like iron powder that sticks to a magnet on its own.

Now I don’t even know why this happened.

Just follow the talent of the newly acquired exclusive effect, leave your body there, and focus your consciousness on the creation of black magic.

―What is this again…

And seeing that, Damcheonwu trembled with the Blood Demon Sword and raised a voice filled with awe.

―You…

You sound like you can’t believe it.

―Is it really true that we were once the same human…?

Even the previous challengers who had reached the level of godhood and reached the 40th floor were feeling astonished by their talent.

―Isn’t this the appearance of a great servant that I only heard about in legends?…

At this point, I am dumbfounded by my own talent for black magic.

I never thought I could easily dismantle and create a new technology that could be considered an exclusive property of the demons I saw for the first time today.

Even the martial arts he had learned before had not been newly created.

But now, as if I had surpassed even my talent for martial arts, I laughed out loud while watching the new black magic spells being remade.

[ her. ]

And.

[Could I have been more talented at this kind of thing than martial arts…? ]

The moment he mumbled like that and at the same time piled up one more black magic spell.

Deed—!

In an instant, the newly created black magic was completed.

A new black magic that did not exist before was born that only assists the skill and authority of the challenger climbing the tower.

Until now, only selected geniuses among the demons had been used, but the black magic that would be used from now on would be different.

and.

[Skill Cooldown Acceleration]

The moment the newly created black magic spell is activated.

Chuck Chuck…!

「The skill ‘Tracking Light’ has been designated as the target for [Skill Cooldown Acceleration].」 「 The skill

‘ Tracking Light’ has [Skill Cooldown Acceleration] to reduce the cooldown time.」

A system message popped up in front of my eyes.

[ …. ]

The cooldown of the previously used skill ‘Tracking Light’ has been reduced.

Originally, it is a skill that has a cooldown of 48 hours in exchange for attaching the tracking light to the demons who serve the lords at no cost.

That’s why even the demons who had reached the level didn’t notice that they were being pursued.

Originally, the skill ‘Pursuit Light’ still had a cooldown of over 40 hours.

「There is < 23 hours 27 minutes 17 seconds > remaining on the cooldown of the skill ‘Final Resistance’.」

But not anymore.

[Did you really make it…]

Success.

Dark magic [Skill cooldown acceleration] reduced the cooldown of the skill ‘Tracking Light’.

Relying solely on talent, he succeeded in developing a new black magic that reduced the cooldown of his skills with the first black magic he learned today.

―You can reduce the cooldown time of the skill by almost half…?

Even in the form of reducing the original cooldown of the skill by nearly 50%.

―Couldn’t it be that you can use a skill over and over again as long as your body is overflowing with mana…!?

Nonetheless, limitations existed.

[ …no. you won’t be able to The body’s magical power will be greatly reduced. ]

Black magic [Skill cooldown acceleration] could interfere by twisting the power of the system.

That’s why the amount of magic consumed by black magic was enormous.

In fact, even assuming that magic is converted into magic with the exclusive effect ‘Magic Circuit (A+)’, nearly 40% of the magical power in the body will disappear.

And the problem is not only this.

[And above all, this skill cannot be stacked for a while. ]

The black magic [Skill Cooldown Acceleration] could not be used multiple times for one skill.

[So you won’t be able to reduce the skill’s cooldown time and time again with black magic. ]

Even if black magic can twist the providence of the world, it is not an all-powerful technique.

This, like martial arts, had a limit and could not be exceeded.

At least for now, it’s a force that seems to be so.

―…Still, there are some restrictions. But even so, it is an unbelievable force. you know that too

Of course, it’s undeniable that it’s great.

[ I know. ]

―That will allow you to turn the cooldown of skills like your lifeline as quickly as possible from now on.

[I guess so. ]

―So you’ll have to pay a lot of attention to that black magic. In the future, it will be possible to reduce the cooldown time completely, not by half.

[I’m sure it will happen later. ]

At Damcheonwu’s words, I replied with a smile.

[I created it, so I have no choice but to know better. ]

―….

[ This can be used later as a trump card that will completely reduce the cooldown of the skill once. ]

―It’s great, but it’s unlucky to say that.

[ ….]

―It’s like a damn talent.

The hilt of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and Dam Chun Yu grumbled dissatisfiedly.

Maybe it’s because the talent he’s shown so far is ridiculous.

I could understand.

To be honest, the end of the talent I saw while creating the black magic [Skill Cooldown Acceleration] surprised me too.

‘I can’t believe there is still room for this talent to be used.’

There is still a lot to learn and to become stronger in the world.

So it was infinitely fun.

It would mean that everywhere in the world there are still means to reach the power of an ancient deity and one day stand at the end of the road.

And it was time to smile happily at him.

[Special condition satisfied.]

Suddenly, a system message appeared in front of me, announcing the accomplishment of the achievement.

「Achievment ‘Grand Master’ has been achieved.」

「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are satisfied.」

Grand Master.

Is it thanks to the creation of the new black magic [Skill Cooldown Acceleration]?

It’s a bit late, but the top was trying to recognize the achievement and reward it.

「…」

「The level of achievement achieved by challenger Han Seong-yoon is too high.」

However, there was a sense of heterogeneity for some reason.

‘So far, no matter what achievement I’ve obtained, this phrase hasn’t come out?’

It was worth it.

I had never seen a phrase that the level of achievements achieved as a challenger was high.

And at the same time as questioning, a system message followed and a reward was given.

「…」

「Approval completed.」

「The system allows challenger Seongyun Han to acquire additional exclusive privileges with the approval of the Tower of Trials.」 [

? ]

Even…

「Acquired Exclusive Authority #A-0107[Transcendence Skill].」

The rewards of exclusive authority deeply related to the Tower of Trials.
