Boundless Necromancer

167. Lunatic Difficulty (1)

After the message that you have entered the labyrinth participation area appears…

「Please enter the team invitation code.」

Light letters that look like keyboards appeared in my field of vision.

It was as if I was asked to write down the team invitation code right here.

‘Team invitation code…’

I laughed at the fact that I was asked to enter an invitation code to form a team like a game.

But even that was short-lived.

Soon I quickly filled in the team invite code field.

「I checked the team invitation code [E781].」

I already memorized the invitation code before the battle with Shaka.

It was only 4 digits long, so it wasn’t difficult to remember.

“Would you like to send an application to Team ‘S3A1’?”

I asked again if I would like to participate, but this was not something to think about.

「The application for participation has been sent to Team ‘S3A1’.」

After sending the application for participation, a response came back… 「The

leader gave permission to participate in Team ‘S3A1’.」

A map and chat window are provided.」

Soon, a familiar chat window came to mind.

「[S3A1] Katherine Bennett: Are you here?」

It was a chat function similar to the community function in the tower.

Is this also the consideration of the Tower?

If it was a chat window with the same function, it was possible to adapt right away.

「[S3A1] Katherine Bennett: She is a very peculiar person. You. I didn’t expect you to accept the offer right away…”

To that, I immediately responded through chatting.

「[S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: I can’t help it because there is no other team with as many great challengers as this team.」 To be

honest, I chose this team because I really liked it.

Well, it’s not a lie at all to say that the people who make up the team are great, but…

‘Rather than choosing because the team members are good, it’s more correct to say that they were chosen because they wouldn’t hold back their ankles.’

If I had been obsessed with the team, I would not have accepted the offer right away.

There might be a team with better conditions somewhere.

Of course, I didn’t mean to say the truth, so I answered appropriately.

It was then.

「[S3A1] Kim Seunghun: It took a long time. Did you get into a fight on the way? Considering the departure time, it seems to be quite late…”

「[S3A1] Chun-seok Oh: Uh… Hmm… Are you really Han Seong-yoon…? Something doesn’t feel real…”

I smiled as I saw the message that came up on the chat window.

‘I can’t believe that the team will gather at that time.’

I had heard of it beforehand from Catherine Bennett, but seeing it in person was strange.

But there was no time to dwell on trivial thoughts.

「[S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: Why don’t you put aside the unimportant things and enter the giant tree labyrinth?」

I immediately suggested entering the giant tree labyrinth via chat.

「[S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: Many challengers must have entered the labyrinth. We can’t fall behind either.”

It was well worth it.

In the first place, I was very interested in the perks I could receive from the giant tree labyrinth.

「[S3A1] Kim Seunghun: That’s right. Before that, I have a question… What level of difficulty are you thinking of?」

「[S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: I am thinking of Lunatic difficulty.」

「[S3A1] Kim Seung-hun: I thought so. Then there won’t be a difference of opinion on this.」

「[S3A1] Han Seong-yoon: It’s nice that you don’t have to coordinate opinions like this.」 As

soon as the entry into the Lunatic difficulty was decided easier than I thought, I felt a bit lost in steam.

It was all the more so because I had thought of persuading him to some extent.

But…

「[S3A1] Katherine Bennett: The reason we all gathered here in the first place is because of the Lunatic difficulty.」

I heard that the purpose of this team was to challenge the Lunatic difficulty, so I understood it.

「[S3A1] Katherine Bennett: Anyway, if the entrance to the labyrinth has been decided, there is no need to waste time.」

Eventually.

「[S3A1] Katherine Bennet: Let’s do the rest of the conversation inside and now let’s enter the giant tree labyrinth.」

At the end of that chat, a new message appeared.

“Entrance conditions satisfied.”

“Would you like to enter the giant tree labyrinth?”

Finally, enter the giant tree labyrinth.

***

―Are you entering the labyrinth now?

As I was about to enter the giant tree labyrinth, I heard Damcheonwu’s voice in my ears.

“Because I came here with that in mind.”

―Then I guess you’ll be a little bored by then…

“Are you sorry?”

-No way? It’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t drink blood, but I can put up with boredom.

“Don’t be so sorry.”

―…No, you said you didn’t feel sorry for me, but why do you keep saying that you feel sorry for yourself—.

“I told you that you can retrieve the skill or item by going down the floor anyway, so I will find it for you then.”

―Please listen to the end…!

“Then let’s go.”

After teasing Dam Chun-wu for a while, I accepted the position of the giant tree labyrinth.

「Entering the giant tree labyrinth」

And…

「The difficulty chosen by Team ‘S3A1’ is [Lunatic].」 「

Exclusive Lunatic difficulty penalty applies.」

It moved and a message popped up.

「Temporarily loses all abilities.」

「All types of abilities decrease to [10].」

「Skills and powers disappear while staying in the labyrinth.」

does not apply.」

It was the information I knew.

However, it was a little disheartening to feel the strength draining from the body again.

‘I never thought that I would not be able to use the abilities I’ve accumulated so far…’

The feeling of losing all skills and abilities in the body in real time was close to pain.

But I couldn’t help it.

Because I can’t carry these anymore.

It was a moment of adaptation with the feeling of putting down the burden I was carrying for a while.

「Conditions satisfied.」

Suddenly, a message popped up saying that the conditions were satisfied…

「Divinity < Yeokcheon > will be forcibly used.」

Unexpectedly, the divinity raised its head and revealed its presence.

「The divinity < Yeokcheon > resists the system applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.」

「The power skills and divine power attributed to the divinity do not disappear.」

“What is this again…”

The divine power in the heart has a defense like an iron fortress, as if it would not obey outside pressure.

Of course, other abilities disappeared, but the divinity and the abilities attributed to the divinity remained the same.

‘Resistance to the system…’

It seemed like he could understand why the divine name was called < Yeokcheon >.

To resist the providence determined by the system and nothing else?

As the name suggests, it was tantamount to actually going against the mandate of Heaven.

Maybe it was because it was a divinity that was so absurdly easy to obtain, but the sense of reality was a bit off…

In a nutshell, < Death > and < Immortality > as well as < Transcendence > boasted tremendous abilities, so there was nothing strange about it.

「[HP / MP] function is created for challenger Han Seong-yoon.」

「When all [HP] is consumed, the giant tree is expelled from the labyrinth.」 「

It becomes possible to use the system within the labyrinth by consuming [MP].”

It was something I hadn’t heard.

‘The system is completely configured like a game.’

Seeing that when all [HP] is consumed, the giant tree is expelled from the labyrinth, it didn’t seem like a function that really handles life.

Likewise, given that [MP] was able to use the system in the labyrinth, it was clear that [MP] did not mean real magic.

‘It really feels like an event.’

Perhaps [HP] is a function that protects the challenger, and [MP] is a cost concept used when using the system in the labyrinth.

I thought about that for a moment, but soon realized that it didn’t mean much.

That’s right…

“Enter the giant tree labyrinth 1st floor [Maze of Beginnings].” You

will soon find out what these functions mean.

***

“You have entered the Stone Chamber of Beginnings.”

“Equip yourself and enter the [Maze of Beginnings].”

“And go down to the deepest part of the labyrinth faster than anyone else.”

In a very short time, the scenery changed again.

From a black space to a stone chamber that looks like a converted waiting room.

And…

“Ugh… It’s been a while since my body was this heavy…”

There were people I knew in the stone chamber.

Starting with Catherine Bennett muttering that her body is heavy…

“I agree. It’s the first time my stats are lower than when I woke up… It’s really inconvenient.”

“Uk… Joe It’s not a little uncomfortable… I feel like I’m going to vomit…”

Kim Seung-hun and Oh Chun-seok each got up as if they had come to their senses.

I looked at them and greeted them in a tone that was neither high nor low.

“Long time no see.”

It was only then that the eyes of those in the stone chamber began to focus on me.

“Is this the first time since I saw you in Japan? Quite a bit of time passed, but I couldn’t see them peeping, but in the end, they met like this.”

The first person to speak was Kim Seung-hun, who calmed down.

He smiled and said that, and I nodded.

“Well, after that I spent most of my time in the tower.”

Living only in the tower, I had no time to contact the people I knew on Earth.

“…Your name is Hunter, but Seong-yoon doesn’t seem to go to dungeons at all.”

Oh Chun-seok looked at me like that and said as if he was dumbfounded…

“Because the tower is also a kind of dungeon. I didn’t feel the need to go to the dungeon.”

I replied casually to that and looked at the weapons hanging on the walls of the stone chamber.

Swords, spears, bow sticks, etc…

Numerous weapons were hung on the walls of the stone chamber as if they were on display.

It didn’t look like an item as if it were a basic weapon, but even that seemed to be helpful now.

I took out the longsword hanging on the wall of the stone chamber, put it on my waist, and opened my mouth.

“It’s better to step aside and move now. Pick a weapon and enter the first floor.”

Katherine Bennett, still unable to stand up, looked at me in amazement.

“Are you serious…? Didn’t even adapt and went to the first floor already…?”

“Is there any problem?”

“It is strange that there is none! My stats have been lowered like this, but I need time to adapt…!”

“…”

That’s not wrong.

In fact, I couldn’t fully adapt to my current physical condition.

It’s just that the abilities I’ve been adapting to for 7 years before entering the tower are very low, so it’s like this.

In the first place, I was fixed on a slightly higher ability level than the average person.

Actually…

『Han Sungyoon』

『HP – 80/80』

『MP – 30/30』

『Muscle – 10』 『Stamina – 10』

『Agility – 10』 『Magic Power – 10』 『

Endurance – 10』

『Unique Trait – Necromancy (F)』

『Power – Divine Power (A-)』

Currently, my status window was completely initialized except for the unique characteristics and divine power.

‘Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll fully adapt in real combat.’

Since he relied heavily on skills like gray blood, he might make absurd mistakes.

But…

“Don’t worry.”

I was confident.

“You will never have to fight.”

Even in such a weakened state…

“Because I will protect you.”

I am confident that I will be able to protect my teammates without difficulty.
