Radiant Sword (光劍).
Through the confrontation with Replica on the 12th floor, the technique of skill application that Han Sungyeun had learned......
In this trial as well, it was displayed with a power that could truly be considered catastrophic.
Fwoosh—!
Yes, to a level that could genuinely be called catastrophic.
“Skill ‘Truth Seeker of Blood (B-)’ has reached 100% proficiency.”
“Skill ‘Truth Seeker of Blood (B-)’ class has increased by one level.”
“Skill ‘Counter Shield (B)’ has reached 100% proficiency.”
“Skill ‘Counter Shield (B)’ class has increased by one level.”
The belated messages of skill growth hardly brought any sense of satisfaction.
“.....”
I looked on in astonishment at the vampire lord, rapidly exploding.
‘Did I just blow up the vampire lord.....?’
The attack, which had been executed with the Tsunami of blood, collided with the sword created by the Truth Seeker of Blood skill’s retaliation shield.
Emitting the energy absorbed from the impact through the sword infused with the mastery of the Rolling Sword Of The Blue Sky , the Radiant Sword was released.
This straightforward attack, executed with a simple principle, contained a power that was far beyond its apparent simplicity.
It could unleash an attack powerful enough to explode the vampire lord, who had encased himself in armor formed from his own blood.
Of course, there were additional elements such as the Blood Demon hole technique, the Flaming Sword, and the Lighting Sword Realm technique.
Yet, even with these additional factors, producing destruction on this level was not an easy feat.
‘At this point, it’s seriously giving me chills....’
Thinking that this is some crazy technique, it is strange indeed.’
As I pondered this, a thought occurred to me.
After all, the ultimate goal of the 13th floor trial was to kill the vampire lord.
‘If the vampire lord was hit by the Radiant Sword, exploded and died, shouldn’t the trial be over?’
The fact that the trial wasn’t ending was, as far as I knew, an uncommon situation.
This realization sent shivers down my spine as I looked at the remains of the vampire lord that had exploded in mid-air.
Now, focusing on one of the fragments that had turned into a mere piece of flesh, I activated the “Flame Dragon’s Core.”
And then...
“Skill ‘Flame Dragon’s Core’ has been activated.”
I could now understand.
“Remains of the vampire count ‘Cell Neir'”
“Class:■ ”
“Currently being restored through the power of regeneration.”
I wondered why the message declaring the end of the 13th-floor trial hadn’t appeared.
‘Could it be that even in that state, he can regenerate...?’
The being identified as Cell Neir, the vampire lord, was more monstrous than one could imagine.
Even though the body was completely fragmented, being able to regenerate the body without dying.....
Even the ashen blood vampire wouldn’t boast such a dreadful regenerative ability.
I was slightly repulsed by such monstrous regeneration, but I soon focused on the ability of regeneration itself.
‘The power of resurrection, whether it’s the gods of battle or whatever, the vampires murmured about it, but it really had the power.’
Perhaps I could absorb the regenerative ability through the effect of extracting necromantic abilities......
When such a notion brushed my mind, I quickly shifted my thinking.
‘Let’s see what happens once he resurrects.’
The judgment of extracting necromantic abilities turned out to be surprisingly lenient.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
I felt it when I killed Kairan, the potential apostle, during the 11th-floor trial, but......
It’s definitely not the case that you have to defeat an unbeatable opponent for the ability extraction to activate.
There was a similar case in reality.
“As a user, you have faced a formidable opponent that is difficult to withstand.”
“The skill ‘Indomitable Will’ is in an active state.”
“.......”
Even though I easily killed Cell Neir, the fact that the Chain Skill was still active in such a case was a case in point.
‘The criteria for the system to judge an opponent as too strong to handle might be somewhere else.’
With curiosity, as I stared at Cell Neir’s body fragments, a change occurred.
Slurp...!
As the Truth Seeker of Blood, vitality surged within my body, and the remaining blood started gathering into fragments of flesh.
Of course, if I had the intention, I could channel my mental energy to deliver a blow, but I didn’t do that.
I was intrigued and curious.
I wondered how far the regeneration ability currently applied to Cell Neir extended.
Moreover, I pondered if I could thwart and kill him using the methods I had in mind.
His utilization of Truth Seeker of Blood could also be revealed through our fight, allowing me to understand how to counter them.
However, he didn’t give in easily.
“Do you really think you can kill me?... Impossible!”
One time.
“Cough, cough! Don’t think you can defeat me by inflicting pain on me!”
Two times.
“It’s useless! Hahaha! You truly aren’t a real hero! There’s no way to kill me!”
Three times.
“Human or not, you can’t escape the laws of the body beyond a certain point! You’ll soon tire and collapse!”
Four times.
“Are you a real monster...? How can you use magic and still remain standing?”
Five times.
“Achievement unlocked: ‘ Battlefield Artist.'”
“Skill ‘Torture Techniques (D-)’ has been acquired.”
“Stop it! Let’s negotiate! Yes, negotiate or even strike a deal! I’ll do anything you want if you spare me!”
Six times.
“I... I said I would give you everything! If you have any wishes, I’ll grant them!” Seven times.
“C-come on, just kill me... I can’t live like this anymore...”
Eight times.
“You... you’re no hero... You’re nothing more than a rotten murderer!”
Nine times.
“......”
Ten times.
“Achievement unlocked: ‘ Beginning of Madness.'”
” Skill ‘ Pain increase (D-)’ has been acquired.”
“Please... please, stop... I surrender... I’ll offer everything to you.. ...”
Boom!
Even after being killed ten times, Cell Nair’s mouth continued to move, emitting weak, stuttered words.
“Can’t you just die without making so much of a fuss?”
It seemed that his body was undergoing regeneration, not solely based on vitality like the ashen blood.
Therefore, there appeared to be no limit to his regeneration.
“Hmm......
observing the fragments of Cell Nair’s body regenerate while muttering, I thought.
Maybe if there isn’t a regeneration-proof ability, it might be impossible to kill him.
This notion made sense,
particularly given the events of this trial, which included finding a cleric.
But, on the contrary, if there is regeneration-proof ability, it means he can be killed.
From that perspective, I could think about the ‘attribute’ that could be imbued into the Flame Sword.
The sword’s edge imparts the attribute of cutting through all things, and the Flame Sword adds the attribute of crushing the essence of all things.
If I were to alter one of these attributes, what would happen?”
‘What if I replace the attribute of cutting with the attribute of regeneration suppression?
Is that possible?” It seemed worthwhile to attempt.
The attributes of the sword energy and the flame energy were structures generated by intention (意念).
If I didn’t wish for regeneration, it was certain that such attributes would be added.
And that theory turned into actual success.
“Kyaah!”
“Kuk, kuh-eok... Huh, huhu... , finally, to die...”
Cell Neir’s body, which didn’t regenerate at all, gradually turned cold...
and eventually, when his pupils completely disappeared, he faced true death.
“The exclusive effect of the ‘True Blood Demon Sword (A-)’, ‘Blood Feast (血食)’, is activated.”
“The item’s rank is upgraded to A- (300/1,400) by absorbing the blood of the vampire lord, Cell Neir.”
“An
Simultaneously with the activation of the new exclusive effect of the True Blood Demon Sword, Blood Feast, another message appeared.
“Congratulations, you have cleared the 13th floor of the Tower of Trials.”
“As a breakthrough reward, a ‘Random Skill Codex (A+)’ will be transferred to your inventory.”
“As a breakthrough reward, you have gained ‘90,000 points’.”
“As a breakthrough reward, you have gained ‘4,000 SP’.”
“As an additional breakthrough reward, you have gained ‘5,000 SP’.”
“Please proceed to the waiting room.”
The 13th-floor trial had come to an end.
