I Became the Final Boss in the Game

Chapter 94 : Chapter 94

Chapter 94 Submission

Submission.

The act of subduing a spiritual being and making it submit.

There are quite diverse methods for this.

Contract, intimidation, conciliation, brainwashing, deception, restraint, edification, communion, etc.

Although the methods are diverse like this, the core is actually simple.

Subduing.

As long as you can make the spirit submit, any method is accepted.

Only efficiency and stability are considered in that process.

Therefore, high-level necromancers prefer non-violent and high-dimensional methods.

In other words, methods like contract, brainwashing, and restraint.

But that was impossible for Riman.

Because he didn't know the form of the contract, the structure of brainwashing, nor the formula of restraint.

It was only natural since it hadn't even been a week since he entered Necromancy.

However, he certainly grasped the core of submission.

Just subdue it.

Just make it listen to my words.

If he could do just that, any method would be accepted.

So the method Riman chose was......

ZZZT!

"GRRAAAHH!"

Pitch-black lightning seared Eoduksini.

The bastard went berserk and rampaged as if to break the barrier of the magic circle.

Seeing that, Saya raised his scales, bared his teeth, and revealed intense hostility.

"SHAAA......!"

At this, Riman stroked Saya and said.

"Why are you getting so excited? Calm down."

Then he also said to Eoduksini.

"You calm down too."

CRACKLE!

This time, the bitter cold that swept in froze Eoduksini's body.

Black ice covered the bastard's body, and the bastard twisted its body in the pain of frostbite.

"HISS......!"

"Cold? Here."

FLARE!

This time, black flame wrapped around the bastard.

Whirlwind-like flames engulfed the bastard and rotated at high speed.

"GRRAAAHH!"

Locking it up and beating it.

This was the method of submission Riman chose.

If he beat it endlessly with magic, the bastard would submit someday.

'There is no one strong before the rod. Whether human or ghost.'

Like that, Riman continuously poured all kinds of attribute magic into the circle.

Trapped inside the circle, Eoduksini had no choice but to take all that magic as it was.

Submission procedure utilizing violence and pain.

Although the principle itself was extremely simple, surprisingly, it was a method that formal necromancers knew but didn't use.

Because it was too inefficient.

Spiritual beings like malicious spirits have much higher resistance to pain than living creatures.

Therefore, they don't listen unless beaten considerably.

So pouring magic until they listened was extremely arduous work.

Moreover, this method practically couldn't even be used on a high-ranking malicious spirit like Eoduksini.

Because the mana possessed by the caster would be exhausted before subduing the malicious spirit.

Then what if one hit short and thick with powerful magic?

That was also impossible.

Because if a spirit takes too much damage at once, it gets exorcised right away.

So it was important to pour continuous violence just at the level where it wouldn't be exorcised.

In summary, the submission method using violence was a difficult and inefficient method requiring both an immense amount of mana and delicate control.

A method with nothing but disadvantages except for the fact that the principle and method were simple.

However, all these disadvantages did not apply to Riman.

First of all, unlike other Mages, Riman immediately draws mana from the outside to use.

Therefore, the supply of mana was virtually unlimited.

So even if he poured magic endlessly, he was free from mana exhaustion.

On top of that, his body was enhanced by the recently taken Physiquesio, making him resistant to fatigue.

And in the case of delicate mana control, it was what Riman did best.

Thanks to his senses reaching the extreme, he could grasp the malicious spirit's condition every moment.

That was why Riman chose this method without hesitation.

This extremely inefficient method of trapping the malicious spirit in a magic circle and beating it with magic until it submits.

ZZZT!

CRACKLE!

ROAR!

Magic of all kinds of attributes struck Eoduksini indiscriminately.

Yet, delicately adjusted magic so as not to inflict lethal damage.

As the violence repeated, Eoduksini's resistance also began to decrease gradually.

The guy who rampaged as if going crazy just by getting poked in the side an hour ago was now completely cowed.

The malicious spirit that once symbolized the fear of darkness had degenerated into a completely shriveled appearance like that.

"Phew......"

Riman exhaled a long breath and withdrew the magic.

Thick smoke was billowing up inside the magic circle.

'...Is it over?'

Riman waited until the smoke cleared for now.

A moment later, Eoduksini's figure inside the smoke was revealed.

Riman muttered in a flustered voice.

"Uh... did I beat it too hard?"

Something like a pitch-black, squirming, slippery lump of dough lay in the middle of the circle.

A state where even the minimal form collapsed and even the will was completely shattered.

At a glance, it looked dead, but looking closely, it wasn't.

Because the surface was rising and falling as if breathing.

Besides this, there was no movement.

'...Did I succeed?'

Currently, this guy was connected in a form resonating with Riman's mana.

Riman sent a command loaded on his mana.

'...Get up.'

SLITHER-

As if the dough was swelling, the bastard's body stretched upwards.

It changed its form in obedience to Riman's command.

'The command works.'

Riman decided to test a bit more.

'Left.'

SWISH-

'Rotate.'

WHIRL-

The bastard moved as Riman designated, as Riman thought.

It was like black water with a will floating and flowing in the air.

'...Good.'

Now the final step.

Riman commanded Eoduksini.

'Go back.'

WHOOSH!

Without any delay, Eoduksini was sucked into the Black Seed Bell.

Soon Eoduksini was nowhere to be found, and only the black shaman bell lay alone in the middle of the magic circle.

'Submission success.'

Riman released the barrier made with the magic circle.

RUSTLE......-

The barrier disappeared, and at the same time, the magic circle turned into dust and scattered.

As if nothing had happened, everything returned to normal.

Riman picked up the Black Seed Bell.

'It stabilized.'

The Black Seed Bell, which used to tremble frequently, had become quiet before he knew it.

Eoduksini was safely sealed inside the bell.

Normally kept inside the bell like this, and called out to use when needed.

'It's perfect except for the slightly cumbersome shape.'

A mystical tool in the shape of eleven bells clustered at the end of a brass rod, Black Seed Bell.

Although it wasn't big, it was an ambiguous object in terms of both portability and grip.

'It would be nice if there was a catalyst in a more comfortable form than this.'

The catalyst mentioned in Necromancy refers to an object used to summon spirits or contain spirits.

Naturally, not just any object can be used as a catalyst.

Because to use an object as a catalyst, that object's spiritual affinity must be considerably high.

And such objects were naturally hard to find.

'Well, let's be satisfied with this much for now.'

Riman came out of the abandoned building.

The sun was setting.

Then suddenly this thought occurred.

'Still, since I came all the way here, shouldn't I test it properly?'

Riman took out the Black Seed Bell.

JINGLE-

And rang the bell.

That clear sound spat out the malicious spirit.

SLITHER......-

Pitch-black energy unravels from the bell.

Eoduksini flows out.

Watching that, Riman thought.

'How shall I use this bastard.'

If left alone, Eoduksini takes the silhouette of an ordinary human.

But utilizing it in that state is not effective.

Because there was no reason to operate a malicious spirit that can change into any form in a rigid form called human.

Then in what form would it be most effective to operate this guy?

'Come to think of it, there was a good reference material.'

What Riman recalled at that moment was Francis Appel.

To be precise, those black tentacles Francis handled.

A form that can be utilized in various ways such as binding, piercing, tightening, and throwing the target, tentacles.

Riman converted Eoduksini into the form of a long tentacle.

WHIP!

Starting with one strand for now.

Eoduksini soon changed into a shape like a whip well over 20 meters long.

Riman swung Eoduksini toward a nearby concrete block.

WHIRL!

The black whip wrapped around the concrete block.

Riman commanded.

'Pull.'

He visualized the scene of the whip pulling the concrete block in his head.

And the image was projected onto the whip's movement as it was.

Like that, the whip acted on Riman's will.

PING-

The whip wrapped around the concrete pulled back with force and became taut.

And drawing a long parabola, it pulled the concrete from the ground.

RUMBLE!

With a heavy sound, the concrete block was dragged up into the air.

A lump soaring lightly like a pebble.

But the weight of that concrete block was a whopping 300kg.

This black whip lifted such a heavy object lightly as if handling a jackstone.

CRASH!

The concrete that floated high in the air was slammed onto the ground as it was.

With a massive sound, vibration swept the ground, and broken concrete fragments tumbled everywhere.

"...Oho."

Riman turned his gaze to another target this time.

Trees growing near the empty lot.

Riman flew the black whip at one of those trees.

WHIRL!

The whip wrapping around the tree.

Riman projected his will onto the whip once again.

'Tighten.'

CRUNCH!

The trunk of the tree exceeding 30cm in diameter crumpled instantly like a can.

As the trunk was shattered, the tree began to fall slowly.

Riman released the whip and wrapped it around the falling trunk.

And pulled it with all his might and threw it to the opposite side.

The tree was shot like a javelin and impacted the ground on the opposite side.

THUD!

The tree stuck upside down into the ground as it was.

Not stopping there, Riman swung the whip horizontally with all his might.

WHOOSH!

The whip rushing with a fierce tearing sound.

The trees hit by it snapped off in droves like cornstalks.

RUMBLE!

Trees falling down in droves like dominoes.

Seeing that, a faint smile appeared on Riman's lips.

"...It's much more powerful than I thought."

It was a quite satisfactory performance.

'With this, one hole in my skills has been filled.'

The spells Riman could cast were certainly powerful and useful.

But many of them were one-off, and their functions were biased toward offense.

But this 'Black Whip' was not.

It wasn't one-off but could be maintained continuously in combat, and above all, its uses were too diverse.

Binding, pulling, stabbing, tightening, hitting, etc.

It could just do everything a long tentacle could do.

He gained a means to flexibly respond to various situations that could occur during combat.

In effect, it was like gaining a third arm reaching tens of meters in length.

'Good, I've taken one step further with this.'

Originally in the game, the Black Seed Bell was a consumable item.

An item that worked by ringing the bell to call out a piece of Eoduksini and shooting it at the enemy to attack.

Simply put, it was like a pistol loaded with eleven rounds of malicious spirits.

However, Riman manifested Eoduksini inside it with Necromancy, captured it, subdued it, and weaponized it.

He transformed a consumable item into a multi-purpose weapon that could be utilized permanently.

As a result, a weapon that had never existed even once within came into Riman's hands.

SLITHER!

Riman called Eoduksini back into the Black Seed Bell.

And with this, the minimal preparation to face Cha Hak-jun was finished.
