Apocalypse's All-Rounder Mischief

Chapter 74

One-stroke double skin (3)

Pure divine power absorbed from the horns of Heladus!

It didn’t just grant Junyoung the power of “Life-and-Death Barrier”.

It was hidden somewhere absorbed in the body, and it was only when Junyoung’s fame potential reached 3 stars that its existence was fully revealed.

‘Are you waiting for your potential to grow?’

By analogy, divine power is water, and fame is like a vessel for that water.

In other words, the divine power absorbed from the horns of Heladus in the first place was so vast that a 2-star vessel could not contain it.

As the potential increased to three stars and the size of the bowl increased, it was only possible to accommodate it.

‘Then maybe the divine power of the horn of Heladus is still hidden somewhere in my body.’

In order to draw out that power, I would have no choice but to raise my potential to 4 stars.

It’s not difficult.

You can kill a lot of the monsters in the labyrinth, or fight the gods and destroy them.

Of course, there will be checks from the gods.

Maybe the attack will start right away.

‘So from now on, it’s real.’

I became a 3-star god sooner than I thought.

You should never be complacent.

After becoming a two-star god, I realized how low-level the one-star gods are.

And the moment I became a three-star god, I found out that the level of a two-star god, which seemed quite impressive, was not a big deal.

If so, how strong are the 4 stars, 5 stars, or the 9-star gods in the ultimate?

‘You can’t provoke them prematurely just yet.’

There was nothing really scary when I didn’t know something that I didn’t know that the overnight dog was scary.

Like a frog in a well.

But when the frog comes out of the well, he realizes how wide and vast the world is.

Junyoung also had a similar feeling when he got a little bit of knowledge about the new world.

‘But don’t be afraid.’

I’m not saying we shouldn’t do anything arrogant, arrogant, or reckless, but we don’t want to shrink in fear.

Anyway, if there’s one thing that doesn’t change, whether it’s the first time or now, it’s Junyoung’s heart.

‘In the worst case, I’d rather die anyway.’

When fighting zombies, when fighting goblins and vampires, it was like that.

It will be the same in the future.

No matter how many gods appear and threaten you, there is no need to be afraid if you think that in the worst case, death will only add up.

‘What, I was prepared to die, I did it earlier.’

Of course, there is the will to survive.

But as much as he desperately wants it, he is ready to die.

That’s natural.

It wouldn’t be sane to fight the gods without such determination.

【Name】 Kang Junyoung

[Level] 20

[Life] 280/280

【Mana】 2260/2260

【God】 ●●●

【Tendency】 Unknown

[Power] Life and Death Barrier

[New Skill] Black Demon Sword New Skill (Lv20), Holy Blunt Skill (Intermediate, Lv9)

[New Weapon] Fist of Zekuras

You killed the god, but it didn’t affect your level as an Awakener.

On the other hand, the proficiency of the divine blunt technique has risen significantly to intermediate Lv9.

‘It seems that only the level of skill proficiency is affected.’

Maybe that’s why, the status of the Black Demon Swordsman is still the same as 2 stars.

【New work】

-Black Demon Sword Master (●○○○○○○○○)

-Shinseongdun Technology (●●○)

In other words, in order to become stronger in the future, you must not fight only with the gods.

This means that raising your level as an Awakener as much as possible is just as important as raising your reputation as a god.

[The duration of the life-and-death barrier is 5 minutes.][Are you sure you want to release the life-death barrier now?]

“no.”

[The life-and-death barrier is maintained.]

Although he killed the elf god Celes, the battlefield of life and death has not yet disappeared, surrounded by a barrier of a dimension wall.

This means that it will last for a duration of 10 minutes unless it is dispelled by Junyoung beforehand.‘There is no need to remove the barrier in advance.’

Even if it’s 5 minutes.

Now in this space he is absolutely safe.

This is because even a 9-star god can never break the dimensional wall and attack him.

Let’s take a break for a little while.

‘research!’

But he didn’t forget to open up his quest, just in case he didn’t know.

It’s just a habitual thing to do.

[There are objects that can be explored in front.]

With him, a mysterious light bloomed in the center of the life-and-death barrier.

It is the light of exploration.

[Search was successful.][I found a new weapon, a longbow of magical power (●).][You have found the Divine Archery Scroll.][I have found 1 Spirit Restoration Ring (●).][You have found the best elven ability book.]

‘After all, there is nothing like exploring.’

Junyoung smiled warmly.

He still had hopes that he might get something, but he didn’t expect to get such a great deal from Celes, who was sealed and completely vanished.

[Holy Archery Scroll]

-Category: Shingong

-Acquisition Restrictions: ●

[You are qualified to learn the divine archery technique.][Are you sure you want to learn divine archery?]

“Yes.”

There’s nothing wrong with learning.

I have a lot of skills, so I have nothing to lose.

There is a black magic swordsman who can be said to be the strongest swordsman, but how do you know if a one-star archery will be helpful again?

‘Even in the new world, I go as a chap.’

The more skills you have, the more advantageous you are to survive as a chap!

[You have acquired the divine archery skill.][Holy Archery (Beginner, Lv1)]

-Category: Shingong

-Grade : ○○○

‘what?’

I thought 1 star would be the end.

Surprisingly, he was a new artist with up to three potentials.

However, in the case of Celes, the god’s fame did not exceed 1 star, so he could not demonstrate his abilities beyond that.

On the other hand, Junyoung has become a three-star god, so if you consistently increase your proficiency in sacred archery, you can raise it to three stars.

[Combat ability archery (beginner, Lv1) has been created.]

Fortunately, with the advent of the new Godgong Archery, archery was automatically created with general combat abilities.

‘It’s a similar situation to Dunn Technology.’

If you consistently raise the level of archery in normal battle, it will also affect holy archery, which means that it can be quite useful in the battlefield of the gods.

I also got the new weapon, the longbow of magical power (●), so the weapon was solved.

‘I should have prepared a bow or something to use in general battles.’

Was there a bow in Radinus’s dungeon?

You need to go and take a look.

If you have it, you can buy it with coins, if not, you can get it through drop items.

It’s not urgent right now.

[You have acquired the highest level of elven language.]

It’s not beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

This enabled him to not only speak the language of the elves virtually perfectly, but also understand all kinds of books.

‘In a way, this is a really deceptive ability.’

Just as humans do not have only one or two languages ​​on Earth, elves can also have multiple languages.

However, if you learn the elven language with a skill, all of that will be resolved.

No matter what the language of the elves.

‘Is there no human language ability book?’

What I regret is this

The highest level of human language ability!

If I had something like this, I would instantly master every language on the planet.

‘It’s not impossible here. You might be able to get it as a drop item somewhere.’

However, in the case of Junyoung, basic communication is not difficult even if you do not know the language of the nationality.

This is because if you consume a little of your divine power, you can convey your thoughts to the other person.

However, it would be a waste to consume divine power even on such a thing, so it is good to have it as a skill if possible.

[Spirit recovery ring]

-【Caution】 It is known that there are side effects, but it is not clear what they are.

side effects?

I can only guess what it is.

‘research!’

[Investigation understands the side effects of the healing recovery.][If you take the power recovery pill even once, it is impossible to grow to a reputation higher than your current reputation.]

‘Is that so…?’

Exhausted divine power can be restored, but growth as a god stops instead.

That was the true identity of the last item that was obtained today, the recovery of energy.

‘I think Celes was keeping it.’

If you can restore your divine power, it can be a very useful item for Junyoung.

In fact, there were times when I was so coveted by this that I thought about whether to accept the mission of the good god camp or the evil god camp.

But if I ate this, it would have been a disaster.

It is a cursed item that should never be eaten.

‘Above all, this is an evil drug made using the Awoken.’

Absolutely unacceptable horrible stuff!

[Ancient Manufacturing Scroll – Recipe for Rejuvenation 1]

-Classification: Recipe

– Rating: unknown

-Description: A secret recipe for a being with a god’s fame to make a drug that can restore exhausted divine power.

-【Ingredients】 1 Condensed Awakener’s Ghost Chunk, 100 Dark Essence, 1 Labyrinth Horn

-【Results】 5~20 Energy Recovery Rings (●)

-【Acquisition Restriction】God’s Fame (●●●)

It is one of the secret books that Junyoung keeps in the subspace inventory.

As shown here, in order to manufacture the Spirit Restoration Ring, 3 types of materials are required, and 2 of them can be obtained from the Labyrinth.

The horns of the labyrinth monster and the essence of darkness come from the labyrinth.

Junyoung also has 7 dark essences.

‘But the condensed Awakened’s ghost mass, you have to kill the Awoken to get this.’

I didn’t know it when I was a god of 1 star, but the moment I became a 3 star, I realized it by itself.

what it is

‘When the servants who serve them kill the Awoken, the Awakened souls become part of the mass, and so on.’

In other words, the Awoken are consumables to obtain this.

The higher the level of the Awakened, the better the quality and the larger the quantity.

Therefore, some evil spirits help to raise the level without killing the awakened immediately.

It looks like a favor, but it’s never a favor.

It’s like fattening pigs and eating them, and when the time comes, they’ll get a good chunk of ghosts to defeat the Awakeners who raised their level.

That’s why Earth needed an apocalypse.

I have to wake him up, bring him here and eat him.

‘Crazy guys!’

It gets hotter the more you think about it.

Junyoung realized that evil gods are demons themselves as he became a three-star god.

Of course, the gods are no exception.

[Ancient Manufacturing Scroll – Recipe for Rejuvenation 2]

-【Ingredients】 1 Condensed Awakened Growth Mass, 100 Essence of Light, 10 Offerings with Devotees’ Devotion

This is the recipe of the gods.

The essence of light comes from the labyrinth.

Because Junyoung also got three.

‘But the other two are a problem.’

Whenever the level of the awakened people belonging to the good god rises, the power of growth gathers in that god.

When they pile up, they form a mass, which is the condensed mass of growth of the Awakened.

And the offering with the sincerity of the believer.

This is literally a gift.Items with a minimum hero level or higher are only available as drop items obtained by the awakening person belonging to the god by fighting the monsters in blood and sweat.

‘It doesn’t kill the Awoken, but it’s not much different from exploiting it.’

In some ways, it feels more abominable to pluck from the back while pretending to be an angel’s smile than to kill them outright.

‘Still, if we had to compare the two, it’s true that Seonshin is a little better.’

Although their goals and means are vile, the Awoken will be able to grow steadily if they are still in the good spirits camp.

Naturally, the gods will support the growth of the awakened even for their own benefit.

Even if they get stronger later, they don’t kill or kill them.

Even in order to receive a better offering, that is, a higher-grade item as a gift, he will try to protect the Awakened if possible.

‘These are the ones that should be eliminated.’

Only the evil gods take precedence in priority, and the good gods must also perish.

There would be no Apocalypse on Earth if they hadn’t cooperated for their own purpose.

[The energy recovery ring has been stored in the subspace inventory.]

‘Let’s save this for now.’

You probably won’t use it, but it’s something that’s difficult to get rid of.

***

[The barrier of life and death has been lifted.]

Five minutes passed, and the absolute dimension wall that tightly surrounded it disappeared.

[The battlefield of life and death disappears.][Leaving the battlefield of God.]

However, right away Junyoung could not return to the labyrinth he had been in.

Because there were two groups of gods gathered in front of him.

Evil gods including Deloitte and good gods including Aroel.

They were so surprised that when they saw Junyoung coming out, they didn’t say anything, and they had expressions full of astonishment.

In particular, the impact of the three-star evil god Blodane seemed indescribable.

This is because Junyoung, who was only a trivial one-star low-level god, has suddenly become a three-star god of equal rank to himself.

“If there’s nothing else to do, I’ll be fine.”

Junyoung did not show any hostility towards them.

If you don’t attack first, it would be better to refrain from clashes with the gods for the time being and do your best to hunt the labyrinth.

“Stop!”

However, the evil god Deloitte stopped Junyoung in front.

The shape of a monster over 4 meters tall.

Ogre god (●●●●) Deroit.

As a four-star god, his prestige was unparalleled.

“Let’s not forget that you won the duel. But was it necessary to seal Celes?”

Red flashes flashed in Deloitte’s eyes.

It’s a terrifying sight, like watching a supernova explode in vast space.

Junyoung stared at him calmly.

It goes without saying, but the sight you see at this moment is just an illusion.

Even when he was not a god, he was proud in front of the illusions of the gods, but now he is a three-star god.

He wasn’t the one who would wither away just because the four-star god threatened him.

“Answer me. Why did you seal Celes up?”

“Then let me ask. Conversely, what would he have done if I had lost?”

As Junyoung responded with a cold smile, Deroit was speechless for an instant.

However, he quickly glared at Junyoung fiercely.

“Regardless of the reason, you dared to seal the god of the evil spirit camp. It is a challenge for us soon. Even though great luck worked and became a three-star god, do you think you, who are only a neutral god, can stand up to us?”

Deroit unleashed all sorts of ferocious momentum, as if wishing Junyoung to wither, but Junyoung didn’t blink.

“I just gave back what I received. It’s nothing compared to what he’s been up to. If you want to go to war with me over that, do it.”

Then, Deroit laughed out loud, as if sarcastic.

“It’s war. Do you think you are a match for us?”

Then Junyoung glanced at Aroel for a moment.

“If you get out of the way, I am willing to join the Seonshin camp. Are you willing to accept it?”

For a moment, Aroel’s eyes widened.

“Of course, in Seonshin’s camp, the door is always open to you. From the beginning, your inclinations did not match the evil spirits. I’m really happy that I seem to be finding my place now.”

She showed an infinitely friendly smile as if Junyoung had already become a god.

“We have been watching from the beginning. You just exercised your right to defend yourself and didn’t break any rules. It was all evil gods who broke the rules. If the evil spirits do any harm to this, we will protect you at the cost of war.”

That moment.

The huge face of the ogre god Deroit was wrinkled as if he had chewed poop.

At this rate, Junyoung, who is a three-star god and has the power of “life and death barrier”, is about to go to the good god camp.

That is very bad for the evil spirit camp.

He said hurriedly, seemingly perplexed.

“for a moment! You are misunderstanding something. When did I say I was going to harm you?”
