Chapter 299: Chapter 299 - Poseidon (11)
Chapter 299 – Poseidon (11)
‘Huh?’
Yeon-woo’s eyes shot open . He had been recovering, but the feeling that something was missing was so strong he had to open his eyes .
He saw that one of his Channelings were gone .
The Channeling with Azrael . When he opened the status window, he saw the 3rd Spirit was also gone .
‘What happened?’
The 3rd Soul was actually the Authority that Yeon-woo used the most .
It was because it dealt with souls easily and helped strengthen his Monster Portents . Moreover, with Azrael’s continued Blessings, he was using it quite efficiently, but it had disappeared in the blink of an eye . He couldn’t feel Azrael’s gaze that was always on him either .
“Shanon! Hanryeong!”
Yeon-woo frantically called for his Spirit Familiars guarding the cave . He didn’t have any time to confirm the changes in his body of the 90%-progressed Demonic Divine Dragon Body .
Shanon and Hanryeong appeared from the shadow on the floor .
「What’s wrong, Master? Is something the matter?」
「Yes, Master . 」
“Did something happen to me while I was sleeping?”
「Hm?」
“Like anyone coming by or something happening to my body . ”
「Of course not . We were protecting this place closely . We even checked you occasionally in case something happened to you . 」
Hanryeong nodded heavily in agreement .
However, Yeon-woo’s face turned stiffer as he listened to them . He lifted his head to look up at Rebecca, the spirit who had been protecting him .
Rebecca shook her head; she was in her human form for the first time in a while .
‘What happened?’
Azrael had put a lot of effort into making him his apostle . Considering his yearning for the Black King, he definitely wasn’t a being who would’ve given up on him that easily .
The problem was the reactions of the other gods and demons .
[Hermes comforts you, saying not to worry . ]
[Athena silently nods . ]
[Hondon is quiet . ]
[Agares snorts, saying he knew it would happen . He chuckles, feeling refreshed . ]
It was clear they knew something .
And the reactions of the gods and demons of death after that were… . .
[Thanatos is silent . ]
[The King of Seven Hells is silent . ]
[Ksitigarbha is silent . ]
[Aesmdaeva shakes his head . ]
[Halphas is silent . ]
‘Something’s definitely up . ’
Yeon-woo’s eyes darkened . Thinking he could see something, he scrolled through the messages and to check if there was anything he missed .
A message that popped up when he was sleeping stood out .
[You have satisfied the conditions . ]
[The ‘Grief of the Black King’ has been unsealed . ]
‘The conditions were satisfied?’
What did that mean? The secret of the fetter was suddenly released?
Yeon-woo quickly checked the Grief of the Black King around his left ankle .
[The ‘Despair of the Black King’ and ‘Grief of the Black King’ have been combined, and the ‘Cast of the Black King(⅔) is being opened . ]
[Cast of the Black King]
Category: Set
Rank: ???
Summary: The past ??? were always fearful of the great and mighty king who ruled over death and darkness .
In the end, they betrayed him and locked him away in the darkness .
The Black King trembled with rage during that immeasurable eternity . Thanks to that, the three objects that bound him became his servants .
The grudge inside the objects will try to test the user because it is dark .
Be careful not to be swallowed by it .
The handcuffs represented the souls; the fetter, death; and the pillory, darkness .
*Soul Collector
The user can collect the souls of those he kills . Then, the soul will become a ghost and lose all its powers . Only the deep grudges will be left behind .
The collected souls cannot leave the collection . Depending on the proficiency of the user, the size of the collection can grow as well .
*Black Evil
A form of strengthened black energy . It uses the bound souls and can change magic power into the darkness property . The user’s properties will be strengthened as much as the number of souls that are used .
The magic power used will buff the user and debuff the opponent . The random curses can be critical to the opponent .
* 2nd Spirit
The souls bound to the collection always hate their owner . However, they are able to be freely controlled under the absolute power of the user .
They steal the vitality of any living thing that comes their way, and not a single blade of grass is safe from their strength .

Also, when the user would like, the souls can become an Evil Spirit, a Monster Portent, or even something beyond that .
They will become the faithful followers of the user and carry out any orders they receive with joy .
*Summon of the Dead
Using a part of the souls collected, the user can forcefully summon dead souls from the Beyond . Depending on the level of the soul, the length of time they can stay,and the number of souls that can be summoned differ, so the user must be careful .
However, the summoned souls have free will, so there are limits to binding them .
Not active . (Sealed)
**This artifact is ‘Unique . ’ There is only one in the Tower, and it is completely bound to its owner . It cannot be shared or traded with anyone else .
**Some functions are sealed . You can only break the seal once you have certain qualifications .
**You cannot see part of the information . You can only see it once you satisfy the conditions .
**Currently collected set (⅔)
-Despair: You can collect souls that are in despair .
-Grief: You can go against deaths filled with grief .
It looked similar to before, but there were many minor changes .
First, the Soul Collector .
It was the same as the option before . However, when Yeon-woo looked at the collection, his eyes widened . The number of souls he could have was incomparable to the amount he could have in the past .
‘20,000… . . ’
He had increased the size by raising the proficiency, but 5,000 was the limit . But this new change had more than doubled it .
Could he even use all of them?
‘If I can fill it up, a lot of things will be possible . ’
It was something he realized recently, but the more souls he had, the better . They could be used in many ways .
Changing them into black energy, barriers, buffs, and sometimes, just condensing them into a weapon was impactful .
He realized this after earning the 3rd Spirit, but now, he could do more than that .
‘Black Evil is the updated version of Black Energy . ’
It was perfect to mix with Black Aura, like someone had prepared it just for Yeon-woo . If Black Evil was added on top of the fire property and activated random curses? It would be destructive beyond words .
‘I’ll be carrying around a great weapon . ’
But what stood out to him was the next option .
‘The 2nd Spirit . ’
It was obviously a stronger version of the 3rd Spirit .
Frequently in legends, the skies were divided into six floors . The third floor was for humans, and the second floor was where gods punished the humans who disobeyed them .

The 2nd Spirit allowed him to do everything the 3rd Spirit did and beyond . It even allowed him to “increase levels . ”
The souls, Evil Spirits, and Monster Portents .
It said he could create beings that exceeded them .
‘With this, I can evolve Monster Portents to a greater level than before . ’
The reason why Yeon-woo fed them the Residual Poison Blood was because they couldn’t grow stronger, and he was attempting to give them another attacking method .
But this new option said he could increase their levels .
His current Monster Portents could easily defeat most players, so what kind of power would they have if their levels increased?
He could also probably increase the limit of 30 .
‘Azrael suddenly disappeared, but instead, the seal was unlocked, and a more powerful Authority was given… . . ?’
Logically, he was suspicious .
‘There’s no way Azrael would suddenly release the seal out of goodwill and disappear . ’
The immortal gods and demons that Yeon-woo had observed so far were all selfish . He could see they were trying to build their reputation and become even more renowned .
The same went for Azrael . There was no way he would’ve stepped back like that .
It was easier to think that Azrael had taken back his power on purpose while Yeon-woo was sleeping .
‘Did this item swallow Azrael?’
As Yeon-woo was continuing to make guesses… . .
‘No way . ’
He laughed at himself .
An artifact that swallowed gods . There was no way something like that would exist .
‘If it did, the Tower would be flipped on its side . ’
The gods and demons would never leave it alone . They took pride in the fact that they were invincible .
Also, the Bureau wouldn’t let it go either . No, the system wouldn’t have allowed it in the first place .
But… . .
[Hermes is silent . ]
[Hel is silent . ]
[Nergal is silent . ]
The reactions of the gods and demons of death were a bit strange .
Continued silence .
They didn’t show any reaction to Azrael’s disappearance . No, it seemed like they didn’t want to respond to it . A few of the gods and demons temporarily took their gazes off of him .

‘What happened?’
He looked at the bracelet and sabaton with wide eyes, but they just shook silently like always .
They didn’t answer any of Yeon-woo’s questions .
Urrrng—
The 98th floor .
In the temple of the sea god, part of Olympus’s holy territory, a furious shout came exploding out .
None of Poseidon’s servants dared to take a step inside Poseidon’s holy land . They knew that quite a lot of time would be required for their king to calm down .
“No . No… . . !”
Poseidon seemed exhausted . His lion-mane hair was gone in chunks, and his wide stature was thinner . The black circles under his eyes showed how much holy power he lost .
From Hermes, Athena, Hondon, Agares, Azrael, and the gods and demons of death .
He had failed to descend because of them and had his apostle stolen . Because his holy power was forced away from him, even a mighty being like Poseidon was damaged greatly .
“Stupid fools . They’re letting that go… . . ? How, how can they do that as immortals… . . ?!”
Poseidon couldn’t understand their decision .
He could account for Hermes and Athena since they were the children of the foolish Zeus . Since they were still young and couldn’t see, it was possible they had poor judgement . Hondon was always an evil demon whom he couldn’t read, and Agares was a crazy bastard, so that could somewhat explain why .
But what about the gods and demons of death?
They knew where all their powers came from . Technically, the player named Cha Yeon-woo could be a danger to them . But they were taking his side and supporting him? It didn’t make any sense .
Or .
‘Are they aiming for what comes after that?’
Whatever they were planning on, it wasn’t acceptable for Poseidon . “It” was a mistake that they had committed in the past, and also “his” inheritance reminded them of their desire and greed in the past .
With Zeus in a deep slumber and Hades missing, only he could step up to stop the player named Cha Yeon-woo .
“I must go look for my siblings . ”
He clenched his teeth . Hera, Demeter, Hestia . He had to speak with his siblings who were still in Olympus .
His eyes flashed darkly .
It was proof that his holy power was slowly being polluted .
