288 – Area 6 – Land touched by death (3)
It was a short period of time, but I wasn’t just sitting around preparing to conquer this area.
I was constantly thinking about how to efficiently attack the enemies of Luden Arc, and researched which combination of runes within my abilities would have the highest destructive power.
And after much thought, there is one conclusion.
‘Divine power.’
The answer lay in divine power.
The Ludenarch School are beings who borrow power from gods or demons of the dark attribute and malignant nature, and use magic with stronger magical power.
For this reason, it is natural that it is weak from divine powers that deal with the light attribute.
I could see the power of the divine items I had right now, [Trillion’s Brilliant Oath] And [Pure Paladin’s Buckler] Just by looking at them playing a big role in this strategy.
So yesterday, I visited a clan member who was a Class A divine clan and asked for advice.
“Religion?”
“Yes. It is one of the runes that assists the Holy series… If the sacred amplification rune is a rune that explodes the sacred power itself, piety can be seen as a rune that helps the more smooth and natural expression of the divine power. “Most high-ranking divine class holders have this rune.”
The clan member mentioned the sacred auxiliary rune called [Piety].
If [Divine Amplification] Is a rune that assists in the amount of divine power, [Piety] Is a rune that assists in its quality and manifestation process.
The reason why other class holders could not use sacred power as effectively as the divine class was because they did not have these auxiliary runes.
“It is likely that members of the Ludenarch School have devotion runes.”
He even expressed this opinion without even asking.
The reason why I suddenly ask about sacred runes.
He noticed this.
“Park Jeong-min Holder also thinks that Luden Arc borrowed the power of Malicious Spirit.”
“Yes. The black magic they unleash contains clear divine power. It is a system that cannot be explained using runes alone, which were previously called black magic. “The existence of the devil that the Master mentioned earlier is probably an extension of that.”
If you look at the common runes of members of the Ludenarch School, there are three main types.
[Luden Arc Spell], [Dark Magic], [Oath of Darkness].
The first of these is a rune related to spell law.
The second is a rune that manifests dark attribute magic.
And the third is the rune related to the ‘malicious god’.
‘Perhaps the Dark Pact rune is the key that separates them from the ordinary divine series.’
If there was no [Oath of Darkness], The members of Luden Arc would have been ordinary wizards and divine multi-holders.

In other words, only the types of gods are different, and they also possess divine auxiliary runes.
You could tell that just by looking at the runes obtained after killing Aquilen yesterday.
[You won the duel! The rune hunter’s mysterious power allows him to duplicate one of his opponent’s runes. Please select the rune you want to duplicate.]
[You have selected the ‘Mad Piety’ rune. Since it is a level 20 epic rune, the level drops and is registered as level 10.]
[Acquires 6 Divinity and 2 Spirit through rune alignment.]
◎Name: Madness of Faith
◎Rating: Epic
◎Level: 9
◎Engraved area: chest (duplicate)
◎Special effects
1) The expression of divine power becomes considerably smoother. If the level of the ‘Magic Control’ rune is high, you can freely add divine power to your magic power.
2) Responsiveness to the god you have promised faith in increases rapidly, and the performance of runes related to that god can be increased by more than 20%. (*If there is no relevant rune, this effect does not apply.)
3) The true power of the rune is awakened when you make a contract with a malicious and dark attribute god or devil. (*Sealed state)
◎Derived skill
[Divine Bless]
◎Details
: The mindset of some unusual beings with distorted religious beliefs. They forget that blind faith in God sometimes comes back as an obsession. If you continue to hold on to your crazy religious beliefs, you may one day be eaten by the other side.
Originally, he had the normal rune [Piety], But Aquilen had the epic grade [Madness of Faith].
However, as the ominous rune name and detailed description suggest, this rune was a rune that was highly compatible with the [Dark Pact] Used by members of the Ludenarch School.
Because of that, I couldn’t use special effect number 3, which seemed to be the key effect, and special effect number 2 was meaningless to me as I didn’t have a proper faith.
‘… Still, it’s a necessary rune.’
But right now, there is no rune I need more than this.
First of all, the first effect of being able to smoothly express divine power is very important.
What is most necessary in dealing with the Ludenarch School and Hwang Seong-yeon is the expression and application of divine power, and I have been covering this part with items so far.
Now, even if I acquired the sacred runes, I did not have the confidence to raise them efficiently, and there was too little time to do so.
However, it is a different story if effective high-level epic runes assist.
I had raised my sacred abilities to a fairly high level through [Seeker’s Sweat] And rune acquisition abilities, so I was confident that I could use my divine powers freely as long as the manifestation was smooth.
Besides.
‘Divine Bless. This skill is also a scam.’
[Divine Bless], A derivative skill, is a skill that increases your divinity value by 30% for 10 minutes.
Because my current divinity level is 76…
When you use the skill, the value rises to approximately 99.
In addition, if you use [Berserk] And [Berserk], Which are exclusive skills for increasing ability points, your divinity level could increase exponentially.
In the current situation where sacred power and sacred values are almost essential, the support of these runes and skills was truly a treasure trove.
Awww-!!
Gugugugugu-
Anyway, after such a complicated maintenance process.
The battle that took place immediately is now.
Jayten running at incredible speed…
I am manifesting divine power on top of it.
I was using [Mad Piety] To pour a lot of divine power into the sword in my hand.
Besides.
‘Jay Ten.’
-Yes, master.
‘I’m going to give you battle-related runes, but can you use them right away?’
-We will do our best to help you in battle as much as possible.
‘Okay.’
Gives a new rune to Jayten who is charging.
These runes may not have much meaning to Jayten, who already has his own fighting style, but they are runes that can fill in the details when dealing with C-class monsters such as skeletons.
[Grant the ‘Deer Ice Horn (Rare/Lv.6)’ Rune to contractor ‘Jayten.’ The rune will be deleted from the holder information.]
[‘Scorching Flame (Rare/Lv.10)’ Rune…… ]
[‘Stiff Eyes (Rare/Lv.8)’ Rune…… ]
[Give the ‘Battle Healing (Rare/Lv.7)’ Rune to contractor ‘Jayten’. The rune will be deleted from the holder information.]
[Scoring Flame] Is a rune that has been an axis of my magical attacks for a long time, but with the creation of the [Elemental Master] Rune, its value naturally decreased.
Although Jay Ten is not used to handling her magical power, she was able to exert great power in these melee situations simply by naturally drawing flames around her body.
[Battle Healing] Also didn’t have much meaning due to the special effect of [Forgotten Pride of the Dragon Knight], And [Stiff Eyes] And [Deer’s Ice Horns] Were runes of a type that didn’t suit me in the first place.
I gave these four runes to Jayten and increased the variety of battles as much as possible.
And.
Each- each-!
Ga-ga-ga-!!
Awww-!!
Jayten’s body collided with thousands of troops.
Jayten stepped on the shoulder of the first skeleton he encountered and jumped into the middle of the enemy lines.
He had an unusual appearance, with flames blooming on his feet and legs, and sharp ice rising from his head… In many-to-one battles, these magic attacks were quite effective.
Even though it only moved, 4 skeletons have already been hit.
-Master. Ice and fire, I think it’s good.
‘Really? I like them a lot too.’
Jayten seemed quite satisfied and agreed.
-Yes?
‘It’s nothing. Jayten, turn right like this. This time dig down. So that my sword can reach.’
-Okay.
Jayten’s charge stops as if the brakes have been applied suddenly.
And even before the reaction was over…
A curve that turns to the right as if bouncing!
Thanks to the fact that they have been working together for quite some time, Jayten’s running is now as smooth as driving a racing car.
Pleasure comes from the movements that fit perfectly together.
I poured a lot of divine power into the [Confessor’s Sword] And cut down all the enemies I encountered.
Gagagak-Gagagak-!!
Kaaang-!!
Five skeletons, two Dullahan, three Ghouls.
Two Specters were cut down in the sky, and a Revenant that popped out from the ground was also instantly killed.
I was able to distribute divine power freely through [Mad Piety] And literally swept away my enemies like a wave.
In particular, among the runes I own, there are quite a few effects that increase power when fighting curse types, and the item [Sword of the Penitent] Goes one step further and increases performance by 50% when dealing with undead.
Even though we are surrounded by enemies on all sides…
This was the reason why I was able to move forward without hesitation.
Gagagagak- Gagagagak-!
Kang-Kang-Kagang-!!
Awww-!!
Cut, cut, cut again.
The number of undead that is already difficult to count is piling up like a mountain.
Jay Ten also successfully combined the newly acquired runes with her original power to hunt down enemies in her own way.
Thanks to this, we ran into the middle of enemy lines, but it didn’t look like we were in danger at all.
Our performance was not a meaningless gesture.
“All wizards, drop wide-area attack magic!”
“Assist the Master!!”
“Knock down all the undead!”
The return of risk has definitely come back.
As time was gained, the clan members quickly arrived nearby.
The wizards prepared to cast wide-area magic to annihilate the enemies, and the warriors rushed into the battlefield to help me.
From now on…
It was the beginning of a complete all-out war.
And.
Kagaga River-!!
From somewhere, a skeleton knight flies like the wind and touches me with his sword.
Heavy armor and a huge helmet.
The red light shining through them.
The amount of momentum and magic power is incomparable to that of the idiots he had just dealt with.
There is a high probability that it is at least an S-class monster…
It was the appearance of the Death Knight.
