Boundless Necromancer

Chapter 162: Great Tree Labyrinth (1) ————-«

Lineage of the Heavenly Demon.

The special power I got after killing the heavenly demon had little to no information.

All I knew was that among the powers that she had, it was one of the best ones in her possession..

The Lineage of the Heavenly Demon was most likely an ability that could increase physical abilities, is all that I could assume.

But.

You can get divinity as a potential?

After consuming the Blood Morals Bracelet using Steel Eat, my thoughts changed at the message that appeared.

Perhaps this power has worth beyond reinforcing physical abilities.

But at the same time, a question arose.

Just what was the Lineage of the Heavenly Demon to allow me to absorb the divinity called < Transgression >?

While I was pondering the question, a new message appeared in front of my eyes.

Consumption completed.

It was the message letting me know that the Steel Eat has finished the absorption of Blood Morals Bracelet.

Strength increased by 1. New n0vel chapters are published on

Stamina increased by 1.

Mana increased by 1.

Expelling 10.8% of toxic energy within the body.

My stats increased to get rid of the accumulated fatigue in my body.

spit!

After spitting out the black liquid from my throat, a new message emerged.

The special ability of special power Lineage of the Heavenly Demon is made available after consuming Blood Morals Bracelet.

And.

Divinity < Transgression > is converted into potential.

Rumble!

An ashy colored light appeared within my heart but got consumed by the divinity of Transcendence.

Although the ash colored divinity could no longer be seen.

I could tell that it still existed deep within Transcendence divinity.

Just like the divinity brought forth by the potential of grim reaper, < Transgression > too, got incorporated into my divinity as a potential.

But it didnt end there.

You are qualified to open up the upper dantian.

Vrmm!

A feeling of my forehead splitting attacked me.

You are qualified to open up the middle dantian.

The divinity within my body vibrated while the mana circuit near my heart reconstructed itself.

What on earth.

To be honest, it was difficult to see what changed.

But one thing was for sure..

So the S+ was not just for show

That the Lineage of the Heavenly Demon was a power with a countless potential.

I closed my eyes to concentrate, and found a new technique that was made available to me.

It was.

Activating the power Divinity.

Mana is disintegrated purely to convert into divine powers.

What kind of crazy ability.

The conversion of divine powers that Ive attempted before became possible.

I soon found out the reason behind its occurrence after a brief examination.

So the Lineage of the Heavenly Demon changed the blueprint of the mana circuit, and that made mana disintegration easier

The reason was the reconstructed mana circuit the same time my middle dantian was opened up.

Thats how I found out that the Heavenly Demon could still use Minds Blade despite having her divinity restricted.

She converted mana into divinity instead of using the divinity within her heart..

Lineage of the Heavenly Demon was sealed, but the mana circuit that had been reconstructed by it could not.

The Heavenly Demon used her mana circuit to convert her inner ki into divinity to use Minds Blade.

What an unbelievable power.

It was absurd.

I was doing all kinds of tricks to use the Minds Blade using divine powers,

While the heavenly demon converted the mana within her body to use Minds Blade.

No wonder Dam Cheonwoo told me to not lose hope..

If Lineage of the Heavenly Demon could be called a talent, then she could be considered a genius among geniuses.

With the cheat-like ability to convert mana into divinity.

Thankfully, that cheat-like ability was now mine, I couldnt help but feel bitter about it.

While feeling a sense of futility from that, a new system message popped up.

Recalibrating the number of survivors within the Heavenly Armory.

the current number of survivors are: 1.

The system stayed silent even after killing the heavenly demon.

Perhaps it was a system that calculated the number of survivors after a certain amount of time.

Requirements met.

Youve passed Path of Last Heaven of the Heavenly Armory.

The rite of passage completion message finally appeared.

And.

You have the right to enter the book room.

After exiting the book room, you can reach the end of the Heavenly Armory.

Rumble!

The central floor of the cave opened up to a spiral stairway that led to an endless descent.

It sure is grand. Uselessly grand.

They were a divine entity so they couldve protected the book room without an issue even if the book room was right under my feet.

But they hid the book room using these endless flights of stairs

At this point, I was curious to see just what important things were hidden in that book room of theirs.

Martial arts techniques of Light Swordmaster.

The curiosity got the best of me so I unhesitantly fell into the central space surrounded by the stairs.

There was no need to use the stairs.

Fwoosh!

The tail coat on my body fluttered loudly and the loud sound of splitting air rang in my ear.

I thought that it was better than actually walking through all the steps.

Falling lasted briefly.

Boom!

After landing on the floor, I dispersed the shock of contact to look at my surroundings.

I assumed that thered be lots of mysterious objects since it contained the secret techniques of the Light Swordmaster.

Its cleaner than I thought.

As if it was a well organized library, the book room itself was rather ordinary.

The scent of old paper, rows of bookshelves slightly covered in dust, and the books sorted by its order..

It definitely felt like a proper book room.

After a momentary study of the book room, I randomly selected a book to read.

Since I couldnt understand most of its titles, it really didnt matter which one I chose to read.

And

.

I realized a serious problem while studying the book.

It was.

Just what on earth did they write?

Even with the system calibration, I couldnt understand the explanation of the techniques.

Twelve meridians, the eighth meridian I have no idea what theyre on about.

The books were full of concepts that I couldnt understand unless I came from this dimension.

Flow my ki into underwater spring point? What is this now?

After a few minutes of useless research, I concluded that this was useless and closed the book without lingering feelings.

Tap!

I dont get it.

The black things are letters, and the white things are paper.

Other than that fact, I barely understood half of what the books explained.

I tried my best to compare the text to my current knowledge, but it was impossible.

So I ignored all the text to study the human figures drawn in the middle to manipulate my mana.

And frowned at the result.

Fwoosh!

Why on earth did they write this so confusingly?

It was easier to learn the techniques by glancing at the images.

But this was just a guess on my part so I wasnt even sure if I was learning these techniques properly..

Heavenly Demon is an entity on her own, but you too have such a disgusting amount of talent..

Dam Cheonwoos small muttering confirmed that this was the correct method.

Rustle!

I briefly read through all the books to learn the techniques.

So you condense your ki at the sole of your foot like an orb then you manipulate ki by rotating that orb.

Why would they make this so difficult? Was there really a need to twist the ki circuit like this?

Lightness skill? Ah so its the lower version. You just have to solidify the surface of the water like a platform using mana for this one.

And somehow I managed to read through an entire bookshelf.

Once I put the last book Ive read back on its original spot, a new message popped up.

You got the achievement Footwork Proficiency.

Agility increased by 3.

!?

I shivered at the absurdly fast increase of stats.

All I did was to look through this bookshelf, and my agility increased this much?

For some reason.

So this is martial arts?

I could understand why all those Murim fighters worshiped martial arts like that.

My stats increased this much just from reading through a bookshelf.

Now this is exciting.

I was curious to see how much Id grow after reading through this entire book room.

- -

Reading through all the technique books in the room became tedious after a while.

Since my learning came from looking at the images, books without pictures were useless and thanks to that, I had to go through multiple shelves to get the achievement.

However, it was worth the effort.

You got the achievement Swordsmanship Proficiency.

Tenacity increased by 3.

You got the achievement Martial Arts Pro..

Stamina increased by 3.

You got the achievement Fighting.

Agility increased by 3.

If an ability duplication glitch existed, it would most likely look like this.

I couldnt help but let out a smile from being able to learn the different techniques just by looking through the books in this room.

Never did I expect to increase my stats in this way.

Just like happiness comes after pain, I got all these rewards after suffering through the Heavenly Demon.

Of course, once I got close to reading through all the books in this room, the achievements I could get ran out.

But it didnt matter.

My stats were raised sufficiently.

And I managed to find techniques that could be applied to future fights.

The small gains are good too.

I had no complaints.

Its just that.

Most of these dont really look like the techniques that the Light Swordmaster would use.

These bookshelves didnt contain the techniques that would be used by them.

Naturally, even if their techniques were here, I dont think that Id be trying to learn it with passion.

But I couldnt help but feel as if I was tricked by false advertising.

It was not yet time to be disappointed.

.

After all, there was a black door at the end of the central hallway between the bookshelves.

Even without thinking, I could tell what that was.

That must be what the system meant by the end of the Heavenly Armory.

The end of this trial stood there.

Since Ive read through all the techniques in this room, it was time to continue on.

I suppose this was closer to a stat boosting event than getting new techniques.

After wrapping up my thoughts, I walked in the central hallway.

To open the black door at the end of the road.

And.

Congratulations. You have overcome the Tower of Trials floor 17.

As a reward, Grand Rejuvenation Pill(S+) is transferred into your inventory.

As a reward, you have received 110,000 points.

As a reward, you have received 5,500 SP.

As a bonus reward, you have received 5,500 SP.

As a bonus reward, you have received Hundred Year Ginseng(B+)is transferred into your inventory.

Please move to the waiting area.

The message of trial completion appeared as expected.

The Light Swordmaster is looking at you.

Furthermore.

So they werent lying when they said that theyd give me their techniques.

Across the black door, a brightly shining book was at the center of the black space.

And it was clear what it was since it was floating mid-air.

So instead of immediately heading towards the portal, I stepped towards the book to read.

But.

The book had absolutely no text.

Despite looking at the book using the Fire Dragons Eyes, it couldnt see anything nor have it register as an item.

Hmm.

With no titles at the cover, it most likely would reveal itself once certain requirements were met.

As expected..

All things will come to unite as one.

Faint words appeared after a few moments.

The path will open when things are at harmony.

At this point, the requirements were way too obvious.

What a blatant appeal of divinity acceptance.

Once divinity < Harmony > is absorbed, Id get the right to learn these techniques.

I didnt know if these techniques were that worth it, but I was sure that they contained important things.

If not, it wouldve never been used as a bait to have me absorb their divinity.

But I chose to throw the book into the inventory instead of doing what it told me to.

I had no plans on following the instructions in the first place, and Id only look at it after accepting the divinity < Harmony >.

The Light Swordmaster respects your decision.

Well, It would seem that the Light Swordmaster never expected me to take the first bait either.

I smiled faintly at that to approach the portal.

Then I whispered my farewells to the Light Swordmaster.

Then, Ill take my leave now.

I would get a chance to look at the book later anyways.

In the end.

Moving to the waiting room.

The day will come that Ill get to claim the Light Swordmasters divinity as my own.

Waiting room.

You have entered the 18th floor waiting room.

I returned to the room that feels like my house.

The accumulated fatigue vanished in an instant, and my mental fatigue was slightly gone as well.

My body felt relaxed from it, but I had no plans to rest.

Transcendence divinity.

I planned on figuring out the abilities of this divinity acquired from the 17th floor.

As well as understanding the difference between the state of discipleship versus state of divinity.

Since I gained so much, there were tons of things to examine.

But.

Over 1,000 people of Earth dimension have completed the 15th floors trial.

To say the results, I had no time to sort through my abilities.

Requirements met.

Every official tower dimensions had over 1,000 people complete the 15th floors trial.

The tower of trials is commencing a public event to every official tower dimension.

It was a never seen before message.

.

A public event for all the official tower dimensions?

This has never happened before.

My brain felt as if it was solidifying from this unexpected situation.

Before I could adjust to the new situation, a new message emerged.

A Great Tree Labyrinth will appear to every official tower dimension.

Great Tree Labyrinth.

Was it a labyrinth based on a huge tree?

To the challenger who clears Great Tree Labyrinth, a [Very Important Bonus] will be given.

I wasnt sure what it was.

Warning

Participation in the Great Tree Labyrinth event is voluntary. However, participation will have to be in teams.

There could be competition between different dimensions, so please acknowledge its dangers before participating.

But it would seem that the tower of trials was hosting a huge event.

A very interesting event.[To be continued.]
